A young Kamloops mother has admitted to killing her newborn son. Courtney Fawn Saul pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to one count of infanticide in connection to the December 2011 death

The combined compensation paid to the senior executive team at the Interior Health Authority (IHA) topped $2 million in its last fiscal year.

They are also consistent with provincial government guidelines, Malzer said. “When you look across Canada, they compare quite favourably, and, when you look at North America or globally, it’s substantially less.” Top of the list is Robert Halfpenny, who resigned as chief executive officer last Oct. 25. His base salary was one of the lowest at $195,615 but with additional payments that include bonuses (35,100), pension payments (19,492), earned vacation payout ($73,819), a retiring allowance ($71,531) and a salary holdback payment ($19,980), among other compensation, the package totalled $420,854.

McDonald Park was promised a combination splash park and wading pool earlier this year when city council voted to replace it’s aging pool. So far, the North Shore park has only received a splash park.
McDonald Park wading pool still in city’s plans ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A wading pool is still in the works for McDonald Park. When Kamloops city council made the decision to pull the plug on the North Shore park’s aging swimming pool earlier this year, it voted
to replace it with a combination splash park and wading pool. But, Coun. Donovan Cavers raised concerns at Tuesday’s meeting that the current park, opened in July, doesn’t seem to have a wading component. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell said the
design includes a depression which will eventually be filled with water, but the city is still working on a chlorination system for the wading pool, which the B.C. government started requiring in spring of this year. McCorkell said a piping system is set up to eventually deliver chlorine to the pool and a
chlorination system can be set up in the change room building but, because the department wanted the park open by July 1, it was not able to design that system in time. “We are still working with our design team on what next steps to present to council to complete the vision,” McCorkell said.
If you’ve headed to city centre this summer, you may have noticed more blue uniforms on the streets. According to a closed city council resolution made public this week, the city of Kamloops is spending an additional $40,000 from its policing reserve on bylaw officers this summer. Community safety and corporate services director David Duckworth said the funds will allow the department to run extra foot patrols downtown and on the North Shore until the end of September. The additional patrols are being staffed with on-call bylaw officers who do not work for the city full-time. Duckworth said the patrols came at the request of business owners in the two neighbourhoods who wanted more patrols, particularly during the 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. window of the day. The officers will also go to city parks in both areas. The city is also spending $20,000 on consultants for a review of bylaw services, which will be completed next year. The review will look at what the department’s top priorities for enforcement should be, and other concerns.

City hopes to cash in with grants for Peterson Creek bike trail

The city of Kamloops is hoping $330,000 of spending will bring in $1 million in grant money for its Peterson Creek trail. Transportation engineer Liam Baker said the city had hoped to secure about $1 million in funding from the province’s Bike BC program for the bike link between Sa-hali secondary and the downtown, but was told by the province its project wasn’t developed enough to make the cut in a year with more applications than dollars. At its meeting Tuesday, council awarded Urban Systems a $330,000 contract to finish the design on the trail, bringing it to the point where construction could begin quickly once a grant is awarded. “One of the main pieces of feedback for us was that if

we actually go ahead and finish design we would be more successful against these major projects if we went ahead and resubmitted,” Baker said. Baker said design work will be complete by spring 2017,
in time to apply for the last round of Bike BC grants. Urban Systems will also be charged with looking for other grants the city can apply for. Baker said if the grant doesn’t materialize there
isn’t enough cash in the city’s active transportation budget at this time for the city to pay the full cost of the path itself. The full cost of the 1.7 kilometre trail is pegged at about $3.25 million.

After all, they each earn $102,568 for their duties, and that’s a lot of money compared to many individuals who are struggling to make ends meet on minimum wage or those two-income families trying to keep the mortgage paid. On top of this, MLAs are also given a housing allowance because they have to live in Victoria, while there are also additional stipends for extra duties, such as being a cabinet minister, parliamentary secretary or, in the case of Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster, caucus whip. Add it all up, and the financial returns appear to be pretty good. However, consider that substantial workload goes into being an MLA. There are countless hours at meetings, reading In the end, documents and getting together with conresidents need stituents in the riding. And if you have been appointed to a legto look at the islative committee, you could spend concompensation siderable time travelling the province. On top of this, being an MLA requires and determine you to be in Victoria away from your family if the service for days on end and your career is put on they receive hold. In the end, residents need to look at the from their compensation and determine if the service MLA is worth they receive from their MLA is worth it. The other question to ask: Would you it. consider running for office based on the current pay, workload and disruption to private life? — Vernon Morning Star

Losing to technology
I
rarely do much shopping. In fact, my husband would say, I’m a bit of a menace in grocery stores, largely because I am not in them — except for my neighbourhood Market Fresh in Dallas — and find myself wandering trying to find things. Wal-Mart is too claustrophobic for me, the Real Canadian Superstore is just too big and I’ve never been a fan of large shopping malls. However, recently, I’ve had to venture into each of those above for various reasons and was constantly finding people bumping into me. Why? Because rather than watching where they were going, they had their heads down and their cellphones up doing something. Maybe they were referring to their shopping list — I have one on my phone for those times I need it. Of course, I never look at it until I’m in the line to cash out. Maybe they were texting home to check on what they should be buying. Or maybe they were just so technology obsessed that they forgot that there is a world outside those bits, bytes and SIM cards. This all started to come together for a column after my friend Carla Kluss posted photos on Facebook — and yes the irony that it is social media instructing these words is not lost on me — whooping an

She commented how, when she’s in a lineup or finds herself waiting, when one of her kids asks to use her phone she suggests they not but actually talk to each other. A year ago, while attending a friend’s birthday party, I left shortly after arriving when it became apparent the partygoers were more intent on texting to each other than talking with each other. A few years ago, some friends and I got together for lunch and the organizer of the gathering insisted immediately all cellphones be turned off. Mine already was. My kids would likely call me a dinosaur but this obsession with phones confounds me. I fail to grasp what is so important that what seems like an entire generation of people spend much of their life on their phone. They see nothing but a
small screen and an even smaller keyboard. They might be watching a YouTube video of the great outdoors but they’re ignoring what’s around them. Perhaps they’re texting their friend when they could punch in a number and actually speak with them. Real conversation has been a mainstay in my life. Family dinners as a child would become debates on current affairs, on what I was learning at school or other subjects of interest. If the phone — a real, black, clunky contraption with a rotary dial — rang, we would ignore it. My parents believed if it was important, they would call back. I wonder sometimes if this younger generation is losing the art of conversation, the kind where you can hear the words, appreciate the nuances and emphasis, look a person in the eyes. Being so disengaged from the realities around you seems so self-focused and insular, remote from the real world. Except, of course, when they bump into something or someone in it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RESIDENTS NEED TO TAKE ACTION TO FEND OFF RATS Editor: Re: KTW, Aug. 9: (‘I had no idea there were rats in Kamloops’): It is important for Kamloops residents to be aware of issues that threaten the quality of life we enjoy in our city. However, it would appear that some people did not get the message that was repeated in our local TV/radio media. Last night, as I walked around my neighbourhood, I saw three yards with fruit trees in front yards with multiple fruits on the ground.
These fruits had large portions missing and were hollowed out, similar to the unripe tomatoes on the vine and nectarines that were on my tree. Black rats — a.k.a. roof rats — are also known as citrus rats or fruit rats because of their appetite for fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts (including all types of seeds). I had no fruit lying on the ground, no birdfeeder and no unmanaged compost. Yet, they came into my yard, set up camp under the garden shed and feast-
ed on the fresh produce. If left unchecked, the black rat population in our region will only increase. As fall approaches, the roof rat will look for a warm place to nest and reproduce. With no garden to invade they will also be hungry. Their dream home could likely be your attic and your kitchen pantry — their new source of food. I would encourage all Kamloops residents to educate themselves now
and take action to protect your home and garden before cooler weather arrives. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen has produced a pamphlet that covers identification, prevention and control. You can download it from their website: rdosmaps.bc.ca/min_bylaws/ ES/pest_control/Rat_brochure_RDOS.pdf More detailed information can be found at the following sites: • icwdm.org/handbook/rodents/RoofRats. asp
• ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/ PESTNOTES/pn74106. html • extension.arizona. edu/sites/extension. arizona.edu/files/pubs/ az1280.pdf I would urge you to consult a pest control professional if you find evidence of black rats around your home and garden. Working together with neighbours is essential for an effective control strategy and we do need a community plan from City Hall. Dale Wagner Kamloops
RATS! THEY’RE BACK
COINCIDENCE OR ENTRAPMENT?
Editor:
Editor: On Friday my wife and I were driving to Shuswap Lake around 10:45 a.m. In the area of the highway between Orchards Walk and Monte Creek we were stuck in a cluster — or procession — of vehicles going between 95 and 100 km/h. Soon there were up to 20 cars in front and behind us and we eventually saw what was slowing down all these vehicles. It was an RCMP cruiser in the passing lane. Contrary to the new highway driving signage directing drivers to keep right so others could pass, the cruiser stayed in the passing lane for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Re: KTW, Aug. 9: (‘I had no idea there were rats in Kamloops’): Here’s a rat that was caught on good old peanut butter as bait. The KTW rats-in-Kamloops story prompted me to see if any were in our neighborhood. We are on the airport end of town. I actually caught rats like this one some six years back after neighbors two doors down turned over their compost pile. We have a long fence line in our back yard, along which I laid out five Victor rat traps. Would you believe we caught rats in the traps every morning for about two weeks, then it stopped? We haven’t seen hide nor hair of any rats since then — until now. Well, all I can say is: Rats! They’re back. As we did some six years ago, we choose to recycle and re-use at our address. We lay them out on the grassline alongside our backyard pool and the crows say thank-you. Good riddance and adios. This rat terminator is back on the job. Les Evens Kamloops
No one, understandably, chose to pass it on the left or right. Many of the vehicles in the cluster were bumper to bumper, which created a somewhat unsafe driving situation. Eventually, the cruiser did move over into the right lane and turned off the highway and the cluster vehicles, with a number of frustrated drivers, started to speed up and spread out a little. However, about a kilometre down the highway there was another RCMP cruiser parked in a turnoff, just waiting. Coincidence or entrapment? Peter Hall Kamloops

‘What he said,’ accused tells jurors in closing argument

Jonathan Phillips on trial following June chase CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 40-year-old man charged with stealing a truck and trailer unit and driving recklessly to evade police gave a three-word closing statement to the jury yesterday. Immediately after the jury listened to Crown lawyer Frank Caputo tell them why they should convict Jonathan Phillips, the accused man — who is self-represented — was given his opportunity to address the jury. “What he said,” Phillips stated to jurors, looking at Caputo. The trial in B.C. Supreme Court heard evidence from a number of Mounties about a slow-speed chase from Sahali and Dufferin to the downtown core in the early morning hours of June 18 this year, as members followed a stolen Ford F-550 heavy duty truck towing a flatbed trailer with a tractor. The unit was missing from Bayer Crop Science in Sahali. Police eventually used a spike belt to stop the truck, which ended its run at the downtown Shark Club
restaurant on Lorne Street. Phillips earlier told jurors during his testimony that he broke into the office to steal keys and the truck, essentially pleading guilty on two counts. But he has denied driving dangerously and evading police. Caputo noted to jurors that while Phillips did not speed, he was seen driving the wrong way on two downtown streets at the same time bars were closing and patrons were flushing outside. “That in itself is dangerous to the public,” the Crown lawyer said. Phillips also told the jury during his testimony that he was driving the unit to the Shark Club to see a woman, Amanda Stickland, with whom he had a relationship in past. He called her as a witness but his questions were deemed irrelevant by Justice Jennifer Duncan. “That’s why I was going there [Shark Club],” Phillips said during his questioning of Strickland. “Love was on my mind.” The jury is expected to begin deliberating tomorrow morning to determine if Phillips is guilty on the four charges.

Valemount Mayor Jeanette Townsend called the master plan approval “exciting news.” She said the community attracts visitors who stay there to avoid the expensive accommodation in Jasper and the resort will take it to the next level. Chief Nathan Matthew of the Simpcw First Nation said his community has been involved since the beginning, and he sees the project as an important economic development for the northern part of Simpcw’s traditional territory.
Police watch dog will look into U-turn crash involving cruiser RCMP say police vehicle tried U-turn on red light when it was hit by oncoming car B.C.’s independent police watch dog will investigate a crash between an RCMP cruiser and another vehicle on the TransCanada Highway on Monday morning. RCMP said the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has been notified “and will be reviewing the police actions or inactions as it relates to the collision.” Police also corrected
an earlier release stating that the cruiser, its lights on and siren activated, attempted a u-turn on a green light. In fact, RCMP now say the traffic light was red when the Mountie cruiser pulled the u-turn and was struck by another car. The accident happened at Grand Boulevard and East Trans-Canada Highway in Valleyview. No serious injuries were reported.

PROVINCIAL NEWS CAT BITES DOG
‘Protective’ feline takes on pit bull on Vancouver Island BETH LEIGHTON GEORDON OMAND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
SAANICH — The owners of an elderly cat named Baby say their pet’s sudden reputation as a fearless mauler of pit bull dogs is completely undeserved. Betty Jean Thompson, 78, and her husband Del said they are mystified by the public interest in an incident that happened Monday evening on the front lawn of their home in Saanich. Thompson said she was tending her garden when a group of women walking seven large dogs approached on the sidewalk and one of the dogs showed a friendly interest in her. Beside her lay Baby, the stray, cream-coloured cat that adopted the Thompsons almost 16 years ago. “She’s kind of a slow sort of thinking cat, but one thing is she is very protective of me,’’ said Thompson. Thompson said the dog crossed the lawn. She said she warned the woman walking three of the animals that a cat was nearby and the walker immediately tried to tug her pet back toward the sidewalk. But the dog’s owner, Javiera Rodriguez, offered a different version of events. She said she and three other women involved in a canine walking group were strolling by Thompson’s property with seven dogs when a cat leapt unprovoked from the bushes and latched onto the face of a three-year-old pit bull named Bandida. Thompson agreed that her cat “set on’’ one of the pit bulls that was on the property, but she said the cat did not leap out of bushes to attack the dog. “There is no ambush about it,’’ she exclaimed.
“Somebody is blowing this all up.’’ By the time the two animals were separated, the dog and one of the walkers had been hurt and Thompson said Baby was hanging limp but uninjured from the jaws of the surprised pooch. Rodriguez said she was surprised when she called the municipality in the aftermath of the incident and discovered Saanich doesn’t have a bylaw on aggressive cats, which she said is unfair because of restrictions placed on dogs. “Our dogs, if they’re aggressive, need to be muzzled and on leash at all times. I don’t understand why that isn’t happening with cats,’’ she said in calling for the municipality to change its animal-control bylaw. “If you have an aggressive animal, regardless of what it is, it should be kept inside. There should be some regulation.’’ Besides wounding Bandida, the cat also sent Kyla Grover, one of the dog walkers, to hospital with scratch and bite injuries on her left hand. She received vaccinations and antibiotics. Grover lamented what she called a double-standard that people place on pit bulls. “A lot of people think that pit bulls are bred to fight and kill and they’re not. They’re really sweetnatured and gentle dogs,’’ she said. “If Bandida had hurt that cat, she would probably be deemed dangerous and euthanized, even though the cat started it.’’ Thompson said the cat was simply acting defensively after seeing a dog wander in her owner’s direction. “The cat was just trying to protect me and felt it was in her rights,’’ she said. The Thompsons paid about $220 in veterinary bills that Rodriguez brought to their home the next day.

The 50-year-old has not been seen since Sunday, when he hiked ahead of a group travelling to Baby Munday Peak, southeast of Bridal Falls. The man’s family has identified him as Gordon Sagoo. He has been described as an experienced outdoorsman who is very familiar with hikes in the area. A tweet from Chilliwack Search and Rescue confirmed its members began searching Sunday.

Feds eye counselling for terror suspects on peace bonds JIM BRONSKILL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Liberal government is looking at making counter-radicalization counselling mandatory for people under anti-terrorism peace bonds, the pub-
lic safety minister says. Ralph Goodale floated the idea one week after jihadi sympathizer Aaron Driver was killed by police in Strathroy, Ont. Driver, 24, was under a court-ordered peace bond intended
to limit his activities but he was able to obtain explosives, plan an apparent attack and film a martyrdom video. Police got wind of his plans through a tip from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
and intercepted him as he was leaving his southwestern Ontario home in a taxi. Driver’s death has prompted questions about the effectiveness of peace bonds and whether more could have been done to
steer him onto a better path. There were some ad hoc interventions aimed at helping deradicalize Driver but nothing deliberate and well-organized, Goodale said Wednesday after a
speech to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. The government is looking for ways to make peace bonds more effective — perhaps involving community outreach organizations — or to find

alternatives to the judicial tool, which is not a panacea, he said. “It’s not a perfect solution to every situation.’’ Goodale declined to discuss Driver’s actions, saying the details are still under police investigation. Nor would he comment on whether surveillance had been stepped up on the dozen or so people currently under antiterrorism peace bonds. The RCMP has acknowledged Driver was not under constant surveillance. “That is obviously a lesson that one needs to look at very carefully, as a result of the incident in Strathroy,’’ Goodale said. “And we are examining very carefully what we need to do to make our police and security activity more effective.’’ Goodale said the government would move as rapidly as possible, but he stressed that good laws are not developed “in a panic.’’ A federal consultation on national security, to conclude by the end of the year, must happen first, he said. “We want do this right. Some of the problem with our laws in the past is they’ve been developed in a haphazard manner and have not had the intense scrutiny and consideration that they need in order to get it right,’’ Goodale said. “I’ve obviously got to do this in a coherent and sensible way, not scribbled down on the back of an envelope.’’ As a first step, the Liberals plan to open a federal office of counter-radicalization to serve as a national focal point for research, counselling and intervention services. “We are in the process of recruiting the person that will lead the effort. And we are determined to get this office up and running toward the end of the summer, the beginning of the fall,’’ Goodale said. “The incident in Strathroy demonstrates how very important this priority is.’’

First Nations leaders call for apology, settlement for ‘60s Scoop Government says it wants to ‘work together with all of the litigants’ STEVE LAMBERT
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — The federal government wants to sit down and find a settlement to lawsuits over the ‘60s Scoop, Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said yesterday. Bennett said she is open to finding a solution to legal cases over the scoop, which saw thousands of aboriginal children taken from their homes by child-welfare services and placed with nonaboriginal families between the 1960s and 1980s. “We, as you know — as a government — would like to get things out of court and to a table where we can make those kinds of agreements together, as a way forward,’’ Bennett told reporters in Winnipeg.

“We want to work together with all of the litigants that are presently in court and try and get to the table.’’ Bennett made the comments one day after issuing a formal apology and $33.6 million in compensation to the Sayisi Dene of northern Manitoba for a forced relocation in 1956 that led to poverty and despair. There are a handful of lawsuits across the country over the ‘60s Scoop, including a class-action lawsuit in Saskatchewan that seeks unspecified damages for everything from loss of cultural identity to sexual and physical abuse. Another lawsuit in Ontario has been before the courts since 2009 and seeks $85,000 for each affected person.

Five indigenous leaders wrote an open letter Tuesday to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging him to apologize for the ‘60s Scoop and settle the Ontario lawsuit, which they said has been repeatedly delayed by the federal government. The former Conservative government tried to overturn the decision to certify the class-action suit, but lost its appeal in 2014. “We are writing to you because you have publicly stated that Canada has a sacred and legal obligation to First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples,’’ reads the letter signed by leaders including former Assembly of First Nations national chief Phil Fontaine. Lawyer Tony Merchant, who is behind the
class-action lawsuit in Saskatchewan, said he welcomes Bennett’s offer to discuss the issue outside of court. But he said the court action has been necessary. “Government is always saying ‘take it out of the court’, but they are only coming forward and even talking about settling as a result of the work that . . . lawyers have been doing.’’ The Liberal government has made for a “better political climate’’ for indigenous people since being elected last year, Merchant said. “But governments still go very slowly and the people handling things are still lawyers in the department of justice and they don’t change particularly simply because there are different people politically in charge.’’

Explorers find 1803 shipwreck in Lake Ontario CHRIS CAROLA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — The second-oldest confirmed shipwreck in the Great Lakes, an American-built, Canadianowned sloop that sank in Lake Ontario more than 200 years ago, has been found, a team of underwater explorers said yesterday. The three-member western New York-based team said it discovered the shipwreck earlier this summer in deep water off Oswego, in central New York. Images captured by a remotely operated vehicle confirmed it is the Washington, which sank during a storm in 1803, team member Jim Kennard said. “This one is very special. We don’t get too many like
this,’’ said Kennard, who along with Roger Pawlowski and Roland “Chip’’ Stevens has found numerous wrecks in Lake Ontario and other waterways. The sloop Washington was built on Lake Erie in Pennsylvania in 1798 and was used to transport people and goods between western New York, Pennsylvania and Ontario. It was placed on skids and hauled by oxen teams across the Niagara Isthmus to Lake Ontario in 1802 after being sold to Canadian merchants. The 53-foot-long ship was carrying at least five people and a cargo of merchandise, including goods from India, when it set sail from Kingston, Ont., for its homeport of Niagara, Ont.

Public Works lists 29 women who should have buildings named for them THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The federal government has a list of 29 prominent Canadian women it thinks deserve to have buildings named in their honour, but very little has been done with it. Status of Women prepared the list of historic female figures more than four years ago for Rona Ambrose, who at that time was the public works minister for the previous Conservative government. The list includes women’s rights activist Nellie McClung, former Supreme Court justice Bertha Wilson, former governor general
Jeanne Sauve and novelist Gabrielle Roy. Nicolas Boucher, a spokesman for Public Services and Procurement Canada, said the government is still thinking about what to do with it. “This list remains available for possible future use,’’ Boucher wrote in an emailed statement. One of the names on the list — nurse Jeanne Mance — had already been used for a Health Canada building in Ottawa, but Status of Women included her anyway. The statement also noted that selecting a name is not as simple as seeing who is available from a preapproved list.
“
I really feel we need these historic, strong women who changed the country to be recalled to current memory so that we can inspire the young women and girls growing up now, to reinforce for them that they can have a big impact on the country.
”
— SHEILA MALCOLMSON, New Democrat MP
“The Government of Canada names its structures to commemorate Canada’s history. “The names chosen also often have a link to the building or structure, or the work performed there,’’ Boucher wrote. Boucher confirmed the Conservative government named 13 federal buildings between the time the list was provided in March 2012 and the federal election last year. Two of those buildings were named after
women — the Laura Secord Building in St. Catharines, Ont., one of seven buildings nationwide named for War of 1812 heroes, and the Dr. Alfreda Berkeley Needler Laboratory in St. Andrew’s, N.B., named for the first female scientist who worked at the complex there. Neither of those names were on the list prepared for Ambrose. Most of the other buildings christened during that time gave the honour to men,
including the James Michael Flaherty Building in downtown Ottawa, after the late federal finance minister. The Valour Building, also in Ottawa, was renamed to commemorate the Canadian mission in Afghanistan and not for any particular person. The new Liberal government is expected to unveil its first federal building name on Thursday, but the women are going to have to wait a little longer.
That’s because the international airport in Moncton, N.B., is being renamed in honour of former governor general Romeo LeBlanc, who was born and raised in that province. New Democrat MP Sheila Malcolmson, the critic for status of women, said she is discouraged by the lack of action. “Canadians really want to see their public institutions reflect the diversity of the country and of its history,’’ said Malcolmson.
“I really feel we need these historic, strong women who changed the country to be recalled to current memory, so that we can inspire the young women and girls growing up now, to reinforce for them that they can have a big impact on the country,’’ she said. She said that message was reinforced earlier this year when Canadians weighed in on which female figures they would like to see featured on currency. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced March 8, on International Women’s Day, that an iconic Canadian woman would be on the next series of bank notes issued in 2018.
In response to recent attacks, Montreal bans new pit bulls, plans to phase out animal on territory New bylaw to be adopted in September, current owners need to register pet by January THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Pit bulls purchased after September will be banned from Montreal’s territory, the city announced Wednesday in response to several recent attacks throughout the province. Current owners will have to register and tag their pet by Jan. 1, 2017, or lose the right to take care of the animal. The new bylaw is expected to be adopted at the Sept. 26 council meeting. “If owners are not able to
prove they bought the dog before Sept. 26, then it will not be allowed on our territory,’’ said Anie Samson, vice-president of the city’s executive council. Montreal’s goal is to wait for pit bulls purchased or adopted before September to die, eventually phasing them out completely. Moreover, citizens under 18 or who have a criminal record going back five years that involves violence will not be allowed to own a pit bull. Those who meet the city’s criteria for ownership face a series of new, strict
rules. All pit bulls must be muzzled when in public and on a leash no longer than 1.25 metres, unless they are in a dog park. Pit bulls can only be outside and unleashed when surrounded by a fence at least two metres high. Montreal says it reserves the right to order any dog, regardless of breed, euthanized if it bites or kills a human or another animal. The executive council also decided to centralize animal-control authority and force all boroughs to follow the same, new rules.
The new regulations are sure to raise the ire of pit bull advocates, who maintain there is nothing inherently risky in the breed. Rather, they say some pit bulls are dangerous because they are mistreated or taught to be violent by irresponsible owners. The Montreal SPCA said shelters and pounds will continue to receive abandoned and stray pit bulls and, because they cannot be adopted any longer, “healthy dogs and puppies would necessarily be sentenced to death.’’ “We ask that city officials
ASK A PET EXPERT
meet with us in order to find a solution to prevent the unnecessary deaths of countless healthy, adoptable dogs and puppies entering into our shelter,’’ said Gabrielle Carriere, head veterinarian at the organization. Montreal’s new rules run counter to an early August report by a provincially appointed advisory panel, which did not recommend banning pit bulls. Instead of targeting certain breeds, the panel suggested a law that would set conditions to owning dangerous or potentially

dangerous dogs. The panel’s report referred to Ontario, which has had a pit bull ban since 2005 but doesn’t know whether the number of dog bites has been reduced because that data isn’t collected at the provincial level. Several other Quebec cities, including Quebec City, have announced or discussed bans this summer after a string of attacks that included the death of Christine Vadnais, 55, who was killed in her own backyard. Some other Canadian cities, including Winnipeg, have banned the breed.
2015
OTTAWA — The prime minister and other MPs have gathered on Parliament Hill to pay tribute to Mauril Belanger, a Liberal member of Parliament for more than two decades. Belanger, 61, died Tuesday after a fight with ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Trudeau was among those signing a condolence book set up at the House of Commons, writing that Belanger’s legacy would continue to inspire. Commons Speaker Geoff Regan added his thoughts, calling Belanger a valued colleague and friend. Belanger had hoped to be elected Speaker after last fall’s election, but he was forced to withdraw from the race after being diagnosed with ALS. — The Canadian Press

K
ids at the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops recently learned what it’s like to make a save with no sight during a game of goalball, a sport designed for the visually impaired. Les Nolin, program co-ordinator with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, brought the game to the centre, teaching a group of seven- and eight-year-olds what
it’s like to live with vision loss while having some fun. Goalball is a Paralympic sport, played by throwing or rolling the goalball along the surface of the

court. The 1.25-kilogram ball has bells inside. Players rely on their hearing to save it from entering their net. Teams consist of six people, with three players at a time defending their end. Since players can’t
ngrid d fe eiff fe r 250-320-5778
see markings on the court, raised lines are created by taping thick string to the floor where they need to position themselves. “It was hard,” sevenyear-old Lucas Klassen said. “You gotta be blindfolded and try to
go to the side. You hear the bell and stuff. I got a goal, though.” The CNIB offers community-based support to help those living with vision loss. Part of Nolin’s role as the local co-ordinator is also educating the public. “With any disability, the more people understand, the less they will shy away from it or avoid it,” he said. Nolin has three per cent vision. Ten years ago, he didn’t even realize he was losing his sight. “People noticed
before I did,” Nolin said. He was working at the Golden Fire Department when the fire chief began to see differences. Nolin later worked for a gas plant, but retired once he could no longer see the concentration of the concrete. Five years ago, he gave up his licence and, more recently, he learned to read braille. “I will eventually lose my vision,” Nolin said. “It’s just a matter of when.” Facts about vision

here were peddle carts, a giant swing, a zip line and five days packed full of swimming, games and activities — but ask Gracyn Sieracki what his favourite part of summer camp was and he’ll tell you about the people. “It was great because it’s meeting people who understand you and you understand them. You don’t have to be shy or worried. Everyone supports you there,” he said. (Although the giant swing was a definite runner up.) Unlike other summer camps Gracyn, 12, has attended, every camper and councillor at Camp Got2Go has either Crohn’s disease or colitis, chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Symptoms of Crohn’s can include weight loss and a lack of energy, along with stomach pain, cramping, diarrhea and vomiting. Gracyn was diagnosed at age 10 after a bad bout of stomach pain, initially diagnosed as appendicitis, sent him to the hospital. “I was going to go for surgery to get it out but, when they were doing the surgery, they saw my intestines were inflamed and they knew right away it was Crohn’s,” he said.

At the weeklong camp, Gracyn was able to meet kids and teens who not only shared his disease but, in one case, even shared a doctor with him. “Everyone knows what Crohn’s or colitis is, so they support each other,” he said. “Like, I’m going to
high school and probably no one will know what Crohn’s is, so I’ll get people asking me ‘oh, what is Crohn’s.’ But when I go to camp people go, ‘oh yeah, I know what Crohn’s is,’ so you don’t have to explain it. You don’t have to do anything to make them understand.” Gracyn said he hopes to apply to return to camp next summer.

A game of golf could help warm poor families in Guatemala. The goal of the ninth annual Developing World Connections-Home Hardware charity golf tournament is to buy fuel-efficient eco-stoves for people living in the Central American country. The event at Sun Rivers Golf Resort is on Thursday, Sept. 8, and a prototype of the stove — which costs about $250 each — will be there so participants can see what their contribution is going toward. Developing World Connections (DWC) started its Light Up Guatemala program to help rural families who use open fires to cook and for heat, a reality that can lead to fires and health problems. While the ecostoves still use wood, they require much less and vent the smoke to the outside. Space is limited for the tournament. Cost is $175. To sign up, go online to https://developingworldconnections.org/kamloopsgolf-tournament or contact tournament co-ordinator Shellie Franklin by email at shellie@developingworldconnections.org or by calling 250-3192236.

Camping, hiking, history near Lillooet TERESA CLINE
SPECIAL TO KTW

f you are looking for a great place to go for a hike, camp or swim in a beautiful lake, take a trip out to Lillooet. Start at the Seton Dam campground on Cayoosh Creek. Offering 45 campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings and hiking trails, this site is steeped in gold rush history. In the late 1800s, Cayoosh Creek attracted hundreds of gold prospectors. A Chinese bake oven located in the campground area acts as a reminder of these miners. From the campground you can see the Gold Rush Trailhead. This well maintained trail follows the banks of Cayoosh Creek. Since the creek is part of the hydro projects, there are signs warning water levels can rise quickly. You can follow the trail along the banks for a bit and come across some cool little private beaches. On one end, the trail will bring you to a small bridge that crosses over hydro canals part of

the Bridge River Power Project. Built between 1927 and 1960, this hydroelectric power development harnesses the power of the Bridge River by diverting it through a mountainside to the separate drainage basin of Seton Lake, utilizing a system of three dams, four powerhouses and a canal. At the other end of
the campground is a trail that brings you up a hill where you can do a 20-minute loop around the ridge, cross the highway and climb down the hill to Seton Lake Reservoir Recreation Area for a refreshing dip. This lake, while natural in origin, was raised slightly as part of the Bridge River Power Project. The two main pow-
erhouses are located on the north shore of the upper end of the lake near Shalalth. Located at the uppermost end of the lake is the community of Seton Portage and the mouth of the short Seton Portage River, which connects Anderson Lake on the farther side. The Seton Lake Reservoir Recreation Area is located on Cayoosh Creek, near the confluence of the Seton and Fraser Rivers, in an area first inhabited by the interior Salish-speaking St’at’imc people.
From the viewpoint up on the hill, you can still see their underground winter homes, or “kekulis.” As well, you get a great view of Seton Lake’s emerald green water. BC Hydro’s Seton Dam, the final dam of the Bridge River Hydroelectric development, and the Seton Canal, which delivers water to the Seton Powerhouse and the Fraser River, are located immediately north of the campground. The Seton Powerhouse has a maximum generating capacity of 42 MW and an average capacity of 330 GWh per year, roughly equal to four times the amount of electricity used by all the homes and businesses in Lillooet and Lytton, or enough to meet energy needs of more than 300,000 homes. Additional historic information can be found at the Lillooet Museum Travel Information Centre during May to August. Teresa Cline is a local travel blogger.

2021? ‘This is a transformational moment in our industry’ DEE-ANN DURBIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Fusion V6 Sport (above) is among Ford’s 2017 vehicles. The company expects its lineup to include a fully driverless vehicle by 2021.
DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. intends to have a fully driverless vehicle — no steering wheel, no pedals — on the road within five years. The car will initially be used for commercial ride-hailing or ride-sharing services; sales to consumers will come later. Ford CEO Mark Fields announced the new goal Tuesday at the company’s Silicon Valley campus in Palo Alto, California. “This is a transformational moment in our industry and it is a transformational moment for our company,’’ Fields said.

Justin Donaldson (right) of the TRU WolfPack goes airborne to claim a 50-50 ball against the MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton in pre-season play at Hillside Stadium last week.
Making his mark ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Justin Donaldson called his career with the Victoria Vikes a wake-up call. Speaking to KTW before the Thompson Rivers WolfPack opened its pre-season soccer tournament against the Quest Kermodes, one of the club’s newest additions said his two seasons on Vancouver Island served to knock him down a peg or two. “It was actually really an eye-opener,” he said
before taking the pitch at Hillside for the first time as a member of the WolfPack. “You come in there really high on your horse, sort of, and you kind of get toned down a lot by the veterans. The fourth- and fifth-year [players] kind of show you, you need to stay on your own level until you can prove yourself.” Though Donaldson is no longer a rookie, he has set out to prove himself in his first training camp with the Wolves.

Catharine Pendrel is cataloguing her trip to Brazil in pictures on Facebook. The photographs on Saturday, her first day in the Olympic village in Rio, were of her living quarters, a simple-looking room with a decent view, and the gorgeous hotel pool, filled with blue water, not the green stuff. Team Canada’s mountain biking squad trained on the Summer Games trial course on Sunday and Pendrel snapped some great shots of a scenic ride outside city limits, including one of waves crashing against a nearby rocky cove, with her bike in the foreground and a sandy beach in the distance. The busy day took its toll and Monday’s recovery-day pictures include one of Pendrel’s unevenly tanned legs in a cold bath and another of her doing interviews, the last of the week before entering what she calls “the bubble,” in which media access is restricted until Monday. “Everything is great here — the village, the food, the Olympic transport,” Pendrel, 35, wrote in an email to KTW on Tuesday. “All seem to have had the bugs worked out and, no, I have not seen a single mosquito.” Zika virus-related quips like that one, compliments about cereals and snacks in the Canada Lounge and regular social-media

updates seem to indicate Pendrel is practising what she preached. The Fredericton product who calls Kamloops home said she would make a point of enjoying herself more than she did at the 2012 Games in London, where she put too much pressure on herself in the leadup to race day. Mom, dad and husband will arrive in Rio today to join Pendrel in relishing her third and likely final Olympic experience. “I am very lucky to have such an amazingly supportive family,” she wrote. “Whether it goes great or is disappointing, it is so nice to know I have them there for a hug!” Pendrel was fourth
at the 2008 Games in Beijing and ninth in 2012. She is in top form entering the 2016 Olympics, having placed first at the most-recent World Cup event in Mont-Saint-Anne, Que., on Aug. 7. The women’s crosscountry mountain biking event is slated for 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. Reservoir Coffee (755 McGill Rd.) will host a viewing party. “Taking a mental break from ‘competition’ is as important as focusing on all the components that go into a solid performance,” Pendrel told KTW. “That being said, I typically become more internal three days leading into an event, when course prep and recovery are optimized.”

WON’T BE LONG UNTIL DOAN HANGS UP SKATES
MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Shane Doan can see it coming, the end of his hockey career. “We talked as a family and it’s year by year now,” said Doan, who signed a one-year contract extension with the Arizona Coyotes in July. “At the end of this year, we’ll talk about it and see if it’s doable to do it again.” The conversation about Doan’s imminent retirement starts and ends with his wife, Andrea, and their four children, Gracie, Josh, Karys and Carson, the youngest age nine and the eldest heading into Grade 12. “The problem is their lives are getting more significant and so important and I don’t want to miss any of that and, at the same time, they want me
to keep doing what I love,” said Doan, who will turn 40 in October. Doan, who won Memorial Cups with the Kamloops Blazers in 1994 and 1995, has enjoyed a career that would make most professional athletes envious, having played with the franchise that drafted him for 21 years. “I can’t say enough how grateful and thankful I am for that,” said Doan, part of the Blazers’ ownership group. “My kids have enjoyed a fairly simple life considering I play a professional sport. “It’s probably the best part of Arizona, is it’s not a big deal that you play and it keeps everybody grounded and in a realistic situation. They [his kids] enjoy the benefits, but don’t see too many things outside of normal everyday stuff.” Doan isn’t showing
too many signs of slowing down. He led the Coyotes in goals last season with 28, double the number he had in 2014-2015, and 98 penalty minutes was his most since racking up 123 in 2005-2006. The Halkirk, Alta., product’s value is measured more often in intangibles than numbers, though, and leadership is perhaps the hallmark of Doan’s career. He is the NHL’s longest-serving captain, the Coyotes’ skipper since 2003, and has worn the C for Canada in international play on multiple occasions, including at the 2007 and 2008 world hockey championships. With that type of resume, the transition to coaching would seem a plausible next step after he hangs up his skates, but it’s not

Still chasing his first Stanley Cup, Shane Doan is entering Year 21 with the NHL franchise that drafted him, the Arizona Coyotes. He might only have one or two seasons left to snare hockey’s holy grail.
even on his radar. “After 20 years of doing my stuff, it would be nice to take a step back and let my wife and the kids chase their dreams,” Doan said. “I look at the hours and how hard and difficult it is. If you want to be a good coach,
you have to be willing to give up a lot. That would be a decision that would be years and years away. I’ve asked so much of my family already.” Doan admits when the Winnipeg Jets, who drafted him in 1995, moved to Phoenix in time for the 1996-1997
campaign, he likely couldn’t have pointed out Arizona on a map. With 396 goals, 945 points and 1,305 penalty minutes in 1,466 regular-season games, the desert has treated him pretty well professionally, and it would be tough to leave, even after retirement.
“My teammates all tease me that the people my age are retiring and heading down to Phoenix anyway,” Doan said with a laugh. “It’s home for my wife and kids. At the same time, we always come back to Kamloops and always will.”

Pack show promise From A27
The St. Ann’s Academy alumnus has been a noticeable addition in his first two weeks with the club. He was putting in a solid camp in advance of the Pack’s tournament and had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win against the UNBC Timberwolves on Monday. WolfPack head coach John Antulov singled out Donaldson’s play as exceptional. It’s not the first praise Antulov has heaped on his new addition. Both the coach and Donaldson’s new teammates have been impressed with the 22-year-old. “He’s the main person that has stood out to me, playing on the wing,” said Olamide Ajibike, himself a midfielder who is expected to contribute significantly in his sophomore campaign. “I think he will be really good.” Donaldson is returning to his hometown this season after playing for the Vikes in 2012 and 2014. He is one of a handful of new additions expected to carry the water in his debut season in Kamloops. He can play both forward and midfielder, a blessing for a club that lost forward Oriol Torres and midfielders Braeden Burrows and Kyle Fertile to graduation at the end of last season. “Justin is probably the player who has really come into camp and done excellent,” Antulov said. “Just non-stop work ethic. He just brings an Energizer bunny kind of attitude. He’s consistently working, he tracks everything down . . . he never takes a shift off. It puts guys under pressure and that’s kind of the attitude and that workrate and ethic that I was really looking for in players.” Donaldson aside, Antulov said he has been pleasantly surprised with his entire group in camp.
Defenders Thomas Lantmeeters of Belgium and Maxime Fieujean of France have also impressed in the early days at Hillside Stadium. They, along with walk-on signee Vicky Parhar of Surrey, should help fill the void left by departed back Corey Wallis. Midfielder Yuya Nakano of Japan has also played well. He had two goals on the weekend. So, while Donaldson isn’t new to the CIS like many of his contemporaries, he’s not resting on his laurels, either. His eyes now fully opened, he has come to the Wolves with expectations for his season: He wants to be on the starting roster, he wants to contribute, he wants to continue to build on early positive reviews. “It feels really good,” Donaldson said, when told of the comments being made about his play. “It’s nice, coming back, to see everybody having confidence in me. Obviously, you don’t want to let it get to your head at all, but coming in strong, that’s what we need. “I expect to make a big impact. John has put a lot of faith in me and I hope to follow through with it all and same with the team. I hope to come through and be able to make a huge impact this year.”
More action ahead
Thompson Rivers finished its tournament with a 3-2 record, recording a 2-1 win against the MacEwan Griffins, in addition to its victories against Quest and UNBC. The club also lost a 2-1 decision to the Timberwolves and a 3-2 contest to the Douglas Royals. The WolfPack will now turn its attention
to a pair of exhibition matches at UBCOkanagan this weekend. The Canada West regular season opens on Aug. 27 at Hillside Stadium, with a contest against the UBC Thunderbirds. Kickoff is 1 p.m. The WolfPack will take on the Victoria Vikes on Aug. 28, again at Hillside at 1 p.m.

Jerseys at World Cup will have ads
Bettman brushes off CTE criticism
JONAS SIEGEL
JONAS SIEGEL
TORONTO — Ads on jerseys, puck and player tracking technology and interactive boards will be among the features at the upcoming World Cup of Hockey. The NHL and NHLPA announced the ventures yesterday, as well as plans for fan initiatives in Toronto throughout the twoweek event which starts next month. “This tournament gives us an opportunity to experiment with things, to see if they work, to see if it can be done in a fashion which is tasteful,’’ said NHLPA executive director Don Fehr. Puck and player tracking technology will include elements like puck speed, player speed and distance travelled, all aimed at boosting the viewing experience on game broadcasts. SAP was announced as the sponsor advertising on game-worn sweaters, though Bettman said it was not a sign of things to come for the NHL. The NBA recently announced that it would begin advertising on its jerseys starting in the 2017-2018 season. “Nobody should say that that means the next step is to put them on NHL jerseys,’’ Bettman said. “I am a believer in the history, tradition and exactly how special NHL sweaters are.”
TORONTO — NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is brushing aside the latest criticism from U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal over the league’s stance on concussions. Blumenthal said earlier this week that the NHL, and Bettman in particular, were on the wrong side of history regarding the connection between concussions and longterm brain damage. Bettman reiterated in an interview yesterday that he wasn’t “going to have a public debate about this.’’ He added that he believes “medical and scientific decisions should be made by scientists and physicians.’’ Bettman wrote a thorough 23-page letter in response to questions from Blumenthal regarding the NHL’s stance on concussions and CTE. He suggested that no definitive link had been made between the two. The Senator said that common sense and mounting scientific evidence show there are warning signs and clear links between brain trauma and concussions and degenerate neurological disease later in life. He continued to publicly sting Bettman over the issue, suggesting Monday that the NHL’s “dismissiveness of the evidence’’ sent the wrong message to those playing and coaching the sport.

IRISH IOC EXEC ARRESTED IN RIO
PATRICK HICKEY TARGETED IN POLICE PROBE INTO TICKET SCALPING ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO — A senior international Olympic official was taken to a hospital yesterday after police came to his hotel to arrest him as part of a probe into ticket scalping. Ireland’s Patrick Hickey, a member of the International Olympic Committee’s executive board, is accused of plotting with at least six others to illegally sell tickets for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, police said. “Continuing our investigation, civil police discovered the involvement of Patrick [Hickey] in the international scheme of ticket scalping,’’ the Rio police fraud unit said. IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Hickey was taken to a local hospital by ambulance at about 7:30 a.m. “We will fully co-operate with the police investigation if there is one,’’ Adams said. “We don’t know what the allegations or charges are yet.’’ He said the allegations centred on 1,000 tickets belonging to the Irish national Olympic committee, of which Hickey is the president. “We have full confidence in the system here, and we believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty or any
charges filed,’’ Adams said. “Let’s wait to see what to see what charges are even made yet.’’ Hickey, 71, is also president of the European Olympic Committee and has served on the IOC executive board since 2012. “Today’s arrest shows that the law must be followed,’’ top police investigator Ricardo Barbosa told a news conference. “Even more when we are talking about the biggest sporting event that should uphold ethics and an international spirit. We found out that the Irish Olympic Committee ended up facilitating the ticket scalping scheme.’’ Barbosa said police arrived at the IOC’s beachfront hotel at 6 a.m., and found only Hickey’s wife, who refused to tell them where he was. However, police found Hickey’s Olympic accreditation badge on the floor, along with his shoes, socks and bag. They asked for the hotel’s help and found him in his son’s room, Barbosa said. Hickey felt unwell and was taken by police to a nearby hospital. There was no immediate word on his condition. The Olympic Council Ireland said it is “aware of the media stories regarding Pat Hickey and we are seeking total clarity on the situation before we
comment further.’’ An Irish executive was arrested last week in the same investigation and four other executives are wanted in the probe. Agents have seized more than 1,000 tickets that were being sold for high fees and allocated to the Olympic Council of Ireland. The company suspected is British hospitality provider THG Sports. One of the executives wanted is Marcus Evans, who owns Marcus Evans Group, the parent company for THG Sports and the owner of English soccer club Ipswich Town. Kevin James Mallon, one of the heads of THG Sports, was arrested at the start of the Rio Games along with an employee who was working as an interpreter. Police say Mallon had fake tickets. After those arrests, the Olympic Council of Ireland said it would investigate why some of its tickets were in their possession. The OCI name was visible on tickets displayed by police, but the Irish said they had “no knowledge’’ of the two men arrested. “The OCI strictly adheres to the IOC regulations around ticket allocation, sale and re-sale. We are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness,’’ the council said at the time.
PLENTY ON THE LINE AS LIONS PERPARE FOR STAMPEDERS THE CANADIAN PRESS
There’ll be more at stake than top spot in the West Division when Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions meet tomorrow night at B.C Place Stadium. Calgary (5-1-1) has the CFL’s top record,
just ahead of B.C. (5-2). But the teams have split their previous two meetings, meaning the winner not only assumes first in the West but also clinches the season series, which is the tie-breaker should they end the season tied.
B.C. won the first meeting 20-18 in the season opener for both teams. Chris Rainey figured prominently in that game for the Lions with two TDs, including one on a 72-yard punt return. Calgary outscored B.C. 22-7 in the fourth
quarter July 29 en route to a thrilling 44-41 overtime victory at McMahon Stadium. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell completed 29-of-44 passes for 364 yards and three TDs. Calgary is unbeaten in the six games since its loss to B.C. Mitchell
leads the CFL in TD strikes (12) and is second in passing (2,194 yards) with only four interceptions. The Lions will present a formidable challenge for Calgary as they’re allowing 321 total yards and 64.1 yards rushing per
game, both secondfewest in the CFL. B.C.’s defence has recorded a leagueleading 27 sacks. B.C. has won two straight and sports the CFL’s highest-scoring offence at 32.3 points per game. Since being pulled from a 25-14
home loss to Toronto on July 7, quarterback Jonathon Jennings has thrown for 300-plus yards in four straight games with 10 TDs. Jennings is third among CFL passers with 2,048 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

SYDNEY, Australia — Having lost the mind games against England counterpart Eddie Jones during a mid-year test series, Australia coach Michael Cheika has landed an early blow against New Zealand rival Steve Hansen ahead of Saturday’s Rugby Championship test in Sydney. Australia-born Jones was considered to have won the psychological contest against Cheika when England completed an historic 3-0 sweep of the Wallabies in Australia in June. Jones steered the media agenda throughout the series, keeping pressure on the Wallabies and needling the often volatile Cheika. Hansen observed after the series that Cheika had allowed himself to be “bullied’’ by Jones. Learning from that experience, Cheika got on the front foot early in the lead-up to Saturday’s test by telling reporters the All Blacks believe they can’t be beaten. He also said that Hansen faced some “interesting’’ selection dilemmas for the game, prompting Hansen to counter

and say that Cheika had selection problems of his own to contend with. Cheika heavily spun that response, interpreting that Hansen believed the All Blacks’ 13-year run of Bledisloe Cup wins over Australia would continue. “When they say we’ve got our own problems, that’s what they are referring to; the fact that we can’t beat them,’’ Cheika said. “They think we are no chance to do anything and they are validated. We haven’t beaten them for ages in the series, so it’s
understandable that they would think that. We’re just going to have to work on how we’re going to do that.’’ Cheika was also attempting to motivate his players by portraying Hansen’s comment as a slight. “I know not many people are expecting us, as he isn’t, to do much but we’ll prepare our best this week and see how we go,’’ he said. “You need mental fortitude and there’s no better place to test mental fortitude than against New Zealand.’’
Much to play for at Wyndham GREENSBORO, N.C. — There’s still plenty at stake at the Wyndham Championship this year — even if some of the big names from last year aren’t playing. Tiger Woods didn’t return, sidelined by a back injury. And Davis Love III — a local favourite and three-time winner who had hip surgery last month — is only watching. When play begins today at Sedgefield Country Club, the field once again will be littered with players trying to force their way off the PGA Tour’s bubble in the final week of golf’s regular season and earn spots in the first round of the playoffs. Others are trying to make one last impression on Love, who’s scouting as the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Woods made his only appearance in Greensboro a year ago in a last-ditch effort to make the post-season. He finished four strokes behind Love and fell
short of the top 125 on the points list. But his presence had Sedgefield abuzz all week and helped the tournament set its modern-day attendance record of about 143,000 for the four rounds, including about 35,000 on the final day. It was the last tournament Woods played on the tour because of back surgery. This is the nextto-last chance to earn Ryder Cup points, with the top eight players determined after the first playoff event at The Barclays next week at Bethpage Black. Love will make his first three captain’s picks Sept. 11 after the BMW Championship in Carmel, Indiana. The final pick comes two weeks later after the
Tour Championship in Atlanta. Among Love’s possibilities here this week: Jim Furyk plays his first round since shooting the first 58 in PGA Tour history during the final round of the Travelers Championship. Rickie Fowler is one of seven Olympians here, and 2007 Wyndham winner Brandt Snedeker also is back. The Wyndham has long relished its spot as the last chance for the tour’s bubble players to force their way into the FedEx Cup playoffs, which are open to the top 125 players on the points list, and secure their spots on the tour for next season. “The playoffs, obviously that’s where you can do the most damage,’’ said Harold Varner III, who grew up in Gastonia and played college golf at East Carolina. “Right now, I feel good. I just want to seal my card. That’s the biggest thing because sometimes you don’t get into all the events
your rookie year. “I did a pretty good job of that, got into two majors. A lot of positives, but there’s still some big tournaments coming up, like this one this week.’’ Varner sure seems safe at No. 79 on the points list in his first year on the tour. Others aren’t nearly so secure. Every player ranked from No. 121 to No. 135 has entered. Some, like No. 121 David Toms and No. 124 Matt Jones, want to play well enough to hold on to their spots. Others, like No. 126 Scott Stallings and No. 129 Steve Marino, need to earn enough points to move up a few spots. Perhaps they’ll draw inspiration from Love, who last year made the biggest jump in the tournament’s history. His victory propelled him from No. 186 to No. 76. But in 2014, only one player outside the top 125 — Sang-Moon Bae — earned enough points here to move into the playoffs. The year before, nobody did it. (/CP)

Obituaries & In Memoriam Susanne Lorraine Haddock October 31, 1950 - August 9, 2016
Beloved Nana, Wife and Mom Our family is heartbroken to announce that after a courageous fight with lymphoma, Sue passed away peacefully on August 9, 2016 at the age of 65 years. She spent her last three days at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home surrounded by family, friends and wonderful hospice staff. Sue was born October 31, 1950 in New Westminster, daughter of Barbara and Gordon Cook and sister to Laurie (Dar) and Bonnie. She married her neighbourhood sweetheart Bernie at the age of 18 years. At this time, she gained a sister-in-law Doreen (Herb) and a family friend Pete with whom she became very close. Sue is survived by her husband Bernie of 47 years and children Doug (Sandy) and Nicki (Murray). She has four grandchildren who will miss their Nana dearly (Paige, Brooklyn, Hailey and Jake), as well as several nieces and nephews. Sue’s presence was larger than life no matter where she went. She always had a smile on her face and could find humour in any situation, including her hair loss. She could chat with anyone about anything and was often the life of the party. She especially looked forward to family gatherings and holidays. She adored her children and grandchildren and loved the moments she had with them. She wanted to attend every event that she could, despite her illness. Her life was dedicated to her family. Growing up, “Momsie” always enjoyed getting to know Doug and Nicki’s friends and had a reputation for driving everyone safely home in the “wee hours of the night.” Sue always stood up for what she believed in and was always there to support you in a time of need. You could rely on her for anything. Some of Sue’s fondest memories with her friends include a trip to Friday Harbour with Toni Lake and tea with Jackie Jones.
She spoke of these two friends often and missed them dearly when she lost them, also to cancer. Sue enjoyed friendly competition; whether it was bowling, curling, ping pong, lawn darts, board games, doing crosswords or playing cards, she discretely kept an eye on the score. This competitive side became more evident during family marshmallow fights and golf, which she developed a passion for later in life. Golf was something she enjoyed thoroughly with Bernie, up until 3 weeks prior to her passing. Her greatest golf accomplishment was a holein-one at Sun Shore Golf Club (2008). Sue wanted us to thank all the staff at the cancer clinic, notably Dr. Proctor, Dr. Van Heerden, Tracy, Deb and all the wonderful nurses who assisted her during her fight. We would also like to thank Dr. Trutsov, Dr. Chahal, Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Stinson, who were all instrumental in her care. Our family would like to send our deepest gratitude to all the ladies at hospice. Although Sue’s time there was brief, they were absolutely amazing and made her final days there as comfortable as possible. Their kindness, understanding and support is beyond words. Thank you so much Dr. Zee, Cherilyn, Danielle, Stacey, Melissa, Ashley, Kristin and all of the other wonderful human beings who work there. It takes special people to do what you do! We would also like to thank our family and friends for being there for “Momsie” and us, offering endless support. As per Sue’s wishes, no formal funeral service will be arranged. Instead, an open house to Celebrate her Life will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 from 2-5 pm at Hal Rogers Community Centre, 2025 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC. Please feel free to drop in and share some stories, laughs and snacks. In lieu of flowers, Mom has requested that a donation be made in her name to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice at 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9. Rest peacefully now, Mom. You fought a hard battle. We love you and will miss you dearly! XOXO

Sharon Keyes
My wife, my very best friend.
April 20, 1936 August 17, 2015
If love alone could‘ve saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, No one else will ever fill.
Sharon’s big love after Len and our son Ben and our RV was sunglasses and shoes. Len bought Sharon so many dolls after his many bus trips, that we had to build rows of shelves to hold all her dolls and stuffed teddy bears. God rained for Sharon today. There will never be another you. Love Len
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didnt go alone.
Please do not send flowers.
Part of us went with you, The day God took you home.
Donations to the Cancer Clinic in memory of Sharon would be greatly appreciated.
Missing You
Thank You
Bud and Family

You left a glowing essence that was always so present in life, which now lives on through the lives of your beautiful children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all who knew and loved you. What a legacy of love and respect you have left! As you were in my life, you will always be encircled by my deepest love and respect - a treasure held each day, so close to my heart.
Always and Forever
Glenda and your little “Wing-dog Walter”

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

ROSS E. WASLENCHUK
August 17, 1949 – August 6, 2016
Happiness in life is to love and be loved
February 24, 1938 - August 14, 2016
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ross Waslenchuk our beloved husband, father, uncle and friend; just 11 days short of his 67th birthday. Forever remembered by his loving wife of 34 years Brenda, and his son Brent. Ross was predeceased by his mother Mickey (2008), his father Nick (2012) and his brother Dennis (2015). He was born in Calgary but moved at a young age to Monte Creek where his parents ran the Chevron station. After graduating high school in Kamloops (1967) Ross worked at a number of different jobs including I.D.L. and Sears, but ultimately decided to return to school in 1976 earning an Electronics degree from Cariboo College. He took a job with BC Tel in Port Coquitlam but always dreamed of returning home to Kamloops which he did as an Installation & Repair supervisor in 1988, following the birth of his son. Ross spent 20 years in the telephone industry before deciding to be his own boss, taking on the challenges of running two successful Petro-Canada gas stations. Ross was also busy during this time coaching his son’s minor hockey teams. He especially enjoyed mentoring young minds while teaching the basic principles of life using sport as a model. He retired in August 2005 and was active doing some of his favorite things such as golfing, camping, fishing, playing pickleball and attending Blazer games. Ross was also fond of travelling south to Yuma, AZ. He had many “happy hours” in the dry desert heat, playing in the sun and meeting new friends. Ross was an avid reader enjoying novels and using the internet as a tool to quench his constant thirst for knowledge. He was our “go to” guy; always there to support his friends and family with his enthusiastic spirit, excellent sense of humor, and well rounded advice. He never complained about what he had been dealt in life, always choosing to see the glass half full. There are no words to express the pain we feel. He will be greatly missed and in our hearts always. Special thanks to Dr.’s Stan Fike, Paul Farrell and Shailendra Prasad.

Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment? Family owned & operated
The simple answer is just two letters: No. You can set plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing. Or, you can protect you and your family, by pre-funding your plan. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.
Ernest Anthony Budd 1935 - 2016
Ernie passed away peacefully on August 14th, 2016. He leaves behind his wife Trudy of 60 years, and his four children Judy (Kevin) Laughington, Arnie (Linda) Budd, Amii (Mark) Spooner and Audrey (Brian) Hemelspeck. He will be dearly missed by his grandchildren Alisa (Shayne), Jared (Lisa), Tasha, Lana (Brad), Theo, Erika, Cole, Quinn, Deavon (Samantha), Mason, Amy and his great-grandchildren Hannah, Emily, Ava, Madison, Zahria and Ty. Also left to cherish his memory are his siblings Adam (Marjorie), June and Joe. Born to Albert and Elizabeth Butwilofski in Tramping Lake, Saskatchewan on August 26, 1935, he lived his childhood on the family farm. His family relocated to Edmonton, Alberta where he met his wife Trudy in 1956, and then eventually moved to Kamloops, BC in 1977. Ernie was a hardworking man and enjoyed a long career in the automotive industry. He had a talent for car sales due to his charismatic personality and an easy going manner. He loved cars and he loved people, so his choice of career was a perfect fit for him! He enjoyed numerous family and friend gatherings and was always the life of the party! Klondike Days in Edmonton was one of his favorite times and he celebrated by dressing up in traditional Klondike attire, hosting large outdoor neighbourhood breakfasts. The annual Grey Cup party was also a favorite event where he served his famous Ernie Balls (secret recipe meatballs). Ernie (affectionately nicknamed by many as Big Ern) also loved to dance and could swing his hips to the likes of Elvis! Ernie’s greatest gift that he passed onto his family was teaching them the value and importance of family. Nightly family dinners were always a norm where the family gathered to share in the days’ events and reconnect. Throughout his life he was also very involved in his grandchildren’s activities spending countless hours watching soccer games, basketball games, hockey games, school plays and performances. After retiring, Ernie enjoyed woodworking (especially making wooden cars) and made several wonderful pieces for his family that are still treasured today. He also showed a great interest in cooking and enjoyed making homemade perogies and sausages. He also had a passion for collectibles, mostly model cars both old and new. He will be sadly missed, but the memories will be cherished in our hearts forever. A Memorial Celebration of Life for Ernie will be held on Friday, August 26th at 11:00 a.m. at First Memorial Funeral Service, 8-177 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops, BC followed by a reception and inurnment at Hillside Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial, Kamloops 250-554-2429. Condolences may be left for Ernie’s family at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!
