Two Kamloops artisans have had some of their work given to the royal couple now touring the province. Haida artist Clarence Mills, a Westsyde secondary graduate, created a Spirit Blanket that was given to Prince William by Premier Christy Clark this week. During the presentation, Clark

wore a dress and matching spirit wrap designed by Mills. Mills, who spent much of his adult life on the Lower Mainland, has returned to Kamloops, where he hopes to open an art studio. Mike Miltimore and the crew at Riversong Guitars created an acoustic guitar and a ukuleles that he gave to the prince during a reception this week at Mission Hills Winery in Kelowna.

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING In response to an overwhelming demand for Psychiatric Nurses throughout BC, particularly outside the Lower Mainland, Stenberg College has offered its online-based Psychiatric Nursing diploma program since 2006. The only program of its kind in Canada, this innovative program allows students to do the majority of their coursework as well as their clinical placements and practicum in their local communities.

If a bill introduced by Conservative Sen. Nancy Greene Raine becomes law, the familiar branding of fast-food companies, including McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Tim Hortons, won’t be featured on the jerseys of youth soccer and hockey players. A ban on advertising snacks and soft drinks in children’s sports is just one aspect of a new bill introduced by Greene Raine in the Senate, where it was given first reading Tuesday. The bill flows from a Senate report, Obesity in Canada, released in March. The bill bans what Greene Raine calls “manipulative marketing” of food and beverages to kids. Reached by telephone yesterday in Ottawa, Greene Raine

said her goal is to turn around the trend of increasing childhood obesity. A study for a Senate committee found rates of childhood obesity in Canada have tripled since 1980. The Child Health Protection Act would change the existing Food and Drug Act laws on labelling, packaging and advertising to ban it “in a manner that is directed primarily at children.” Children, in the bill, are defined as under 13 years of age. “Today kids are asking, ‘Can I have this? Can I have this?’ — and they get it,” she said. Bills introduced from the Senate rarely become law, but Greene Raine can point to her own bill passed into law proclaiming National Health and Fitness Day in June. She said a similar private member’s bill was introduced in the House

of Commons by an NDP member several years ago. She expects support for her latest bill across party lines. The bill is backed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the Childhood Obesity Foundation and the Stop Marketing to Kids Coalition. Quebec already has similar law that stood up to legal challenges in appeal courts. Greene Raine said the bill would affect everything from cartoon characters on breakfast cereal boxes to advertising on television and online. The bill would also see a timeline for companies to withdraw marketing and sponsorships for children’s sports. In Kamloops, that is typically seen with McDonald’s and Wendy’s restaurants sponsorships in soccer. See KYSA, A6

City man on life support after mass overdose MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man remained on life support yesterday in Kelowna General Hospital after an accidental drug overdose on Saturday night. Interior Health told Kamloops This Week five people overdosed at the same event, four of whom recovered. “We have reports that the substance involved was cocaine that may have contained fentanyl, but we can’t at this time confirm the presence of fentanyl,” said Dr. Sue Pollock, a medical health officer with Interior Health. “We don’t conduct toxicology testing.” Condolences and heartfelt messages expressing sadness have been left on the 27-year-old man’s Facebook page. An online fundraiser to help the man’s

family with expenses exceeded its goal within hours of being launched. Multiple sources told KTW those who overdosed left a wedding reception and went to a hotel room to do cocaine. A family member contacted by KTW said they are not yet ready to comment. There have been 264 fentanyl-detected illicit drug overdose deaths in B.C. between January and July this year, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. That is a 222 per cent increase over the 88 who died in the same time period in 2015. Numbers in the Interior are staggering. Two fentanyl-detected deaths were reported by Interior Health in 2012, three in 2013, nine in 2014 and 22 in 2015. Forty-two had been reported through July of this year. In April, British Columbia became the

first province in Canada to declare a public health emergency after a dramatic increase in the number of overdose deaths from illicit drugs such as fentanyl. Recreational drug users may cut or manipulate a fentanyl patch or smoke a gel form of the drug. Fentanyl can be deadly because people often don’t know it’s been cut into drugs such as fake oxycodone, cocaine, heroin or other pills and powders, nor do they know how much fentanyl has been added. “According to data the coroner released last week, the most common combination in drug fatalities is cocaine and fentanyl,” Pollock said. Fentanyl is cheap to manufacture and is often brought into Canada and the United States from China.Mexico is also a source of the drug in the U.S.

Lives of disabled part of UBCM resolution DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Delegates to the annual gathering of the Union of B.C. Municipalities will be asked this week to support a motion to make life easier for those with disabilities. The resolution, presented to the body by the municipality of Victoria, addresses a plan announced two years ago by the provincial government called Accessibility 2024, which set a goal of making B.C. the most progressive province in the country for people who live with disabilities. The resolution, however, calls on the government to enact a strong British Columbians with Disabilities Act. Kamloops resident Vern Short is hopeful the group passes the motion, which comes to the floor in Victoria with a recommendation to endorse from the UBCM resolutions committee. Short is the local representative with Barrier-Free B.C., a non-partisan grassroots organization that wants to see such legislation brought in sooner than 2024. Short, who is blind and has been a longtime advocate for the disabled in Kamloops, said the group has set out

13 principles it believes should guide any legislation. The principles include setting a timeline to ensure existing and ongoing barriers are removed, that it apply to those with visible and invisible disabilities, that it apply to all levels of government and organizations each regulates, that it champion barrier-free goods, services and facilities, that it be enforceable and that it have a real effect on how the disabled live in society. Short took his message to the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board meeting earlier this month, asking directors to support the resolution when it comes up for debate. Directors agreed to send a letter of support to the UBCM convention. Short said the group is pressing its case to government rather than taking examples to the B.C. Human Rights Council, noting the latter process can be long and expensive. “Eight years is too long,” Short said of the government’s timetable. One barrier that will be hard to eliminate is attitude, Short said, the biggest barrier he encounters. He is hoping government action to eliminate restrictions will also change attitudes of people toward people with disabilities.

Its origins can be traced to the British Parliament and the various Commonwealth countries around the world.

with wood from oldgrowth trees found on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, unique wood because of the grain created from the compression in the trees due to their enormous weight. “They’re wavy grains, kind of cool,” Miltimore said. The backs and sides were made from

WIKIPEDIA COMMONS ILLUSTRATION

POST-DEBATE Monday’s presidential debate between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was the most-watched presidential debate in history. Nielson said 84-million Americans watched it on 13 TV channels in the U.S. Many more watched on other devices and listened in on radio. Two more debates will be held — on Oct. 9 and Oct. 19. KTW asked those wishing to be MLA in the May 2017 provincial election for their thoughts: KAMLOOPS-NORTH THOMPSON Mike Grenier (seeking Liberal nomination): “I’d love to see, instead of bashing each other over the head like a Punch and Judy show, constructive ideas for the United States. Tell us what you’re going to do to better the people of the U.S. It strikes me personalities are getting in the way of good ideas.” Steven Puhallo ((seeking Liberal nomination): “I think you saw a very digni-

fied, professional woman who was well-prepared and kept her poise against a rhetoric-based candidate who tried to talk over her. I think Hillary Clinton showed a lot of class.” Peter Milobar (seeking Liberal nomination): “Didn’t watch. Was busy at UBCM.” Dan Hines (Green candidate): “What I find really fascinating about the Trump campaign is he can say anything he wants to say. He was making up statistics last night [Monday] and it doesn’t seem to stick to him when people call him on it. I haven’t seen anything like that in Canada. “I think we’re still pretty good about being truthful when we speak. Of course everyone uses the stats to their own purpose, but at least those statistics have some basis in reality.” Barb Nederpel (NDP candidate): “That Trump persona — the arrogance, the bullying, the misogyny — that doesn’t reso-

nate with me, so I find it really difficult to watch. “It’s not actually a debate in my mind. It’s entertainment. “Perhaps the second or third debate, when he gets a little more experience under his belt, maybe he will improve.” Peter Kerek (Communist candidate): “Trump’s points on NAFTA and the TPP continue to be his only strong policy positions. “These have been terrible agreements for working class North Americans in general. Overall, he failed to pound Clinton on the contradictions of her positions, but that’s not an easy line of argument for him to follow given his own flip-flopping and false statements. “Those who are considered swing voters likely made up their minds a while ago about these two candidates, as they are quite dissimilar in personality and style, so it’s not likely that there a substantial number of swing voters for whom these debates will matter. “There would have needed to be something outstanding to occur at one of these debates in order to make a difference at the polls and that didn’t happen.” KAMLOOPS-SOUTH THOMPSON Nancy Bepple (seeking

NDP nomination): “I would say that Hillary stuck to the facts and Donald Trump didn’t leave his message. I don’t think anything new was said.”

SEPTEMBER 30 & OCTOBER 1, 2016 Friday 4pm - 8pm Saturday 10am - 4pm

Donovan Cavers (Green candidate): “Any American thinking of voting for Donald Trump after that needs to seriously give their head a shake. I wouldn’t vote for either of them, but I’m glad Clinton won.” Beat Klossner (Communist candidate): “I don’t think that the debate will make a big difference for Clinton. “Trump’s rants, although making little sense to many of us, appeal to his audience and they will eat it up. That’s exactly why they are fans of his. “To his crowd, it seems unimportant what the message is, but that it appeals to their feelings of frustration, anger, etc. “So, even though Clinton ‘won’ the debate, I have a feeling that Trump will the one gaining from it. He was able to be ‘Trump’ all the way; therefore keeping his current support and possibly adding more supporters.”

A hepatitis C-positive Kamloops man who spat in the face of a police officer before telling the Mountie he had been infected with the contagious disease has been handed a ninemonth prison term. Graham Scott Penner has a history of assaulting police officers. His guilty plea in Kamloops provincial court on Monday marked the sixth time he has been convicted for the offence and his 124th conviction overall. Court heard Penner, 45, was arrested for being drunk in public near Library Square in North Kamloops on Aug. 17. Penner had been causing a disturbance at a nearby pub earlier in the day. When RCMP Cpl. Blair Wood went to place Penner in

handcuffs, a struggle ensued. “He spat toward Cpl. Wood with saliva hitting Cpl. Wood near his right eye, cheek and shoulder,” Crown prosecutor Andrew Duncan said. “He said he had hep C and Cpl. Wood was now going to be infected.” Penner was then placed in Wood’s police cruiser. A few moments later, Wood noticed Penner drinking from a mickey of vodka in the police car. Wood opened the door to take the bottle and Penner spat on him again, this time hitting the officer in the chest. Court heard Wood has undergone testing at Royal Inland Hospital to determine whether he has been infected with hepatitis C. Those tests will continue until February. Kamloops provincial court

A Kamloops man who refused to speak or acknowledge anyone in court on Tuesday has been released from jail after a judge said he had spent too much time behind bars. Jeffrey Christopher Kattan stood in silence for about an hour in a Kamloops provincial court prisoner’s box before being released from custody. Kattan had been slated to stand trial Tuesday on two charges: assault causing bodily harm for an alleged attack on his father and breach of probation by failing to report. The Crown asked for an adjournment because Kattan’s father was ill and unable to attend court.

When Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley learned Kattan had been in jail since February, he refused to grant the adjournment. “You’re spending too long in jail, Mr. Kattan. . . . Do you want to get out of jail today, sir?” the judge asked Kattan, who stared blankly ahead. “Mr. Kattan should not be in jail any longer.” Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio conceded the amount of time Kattan had spent behind bars was longer than any jail term that would be sought if he was convicted of beating his dad. Cleaveley had Potestio run a 30-minute trial on the breach charges, after which Kattan was convicted and sentenced to time served. Potestio called no evidence on the assault charge and Cleaveley found him not guilty.

KYSA gets $100K in fast-food cash From A1

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said she agrees with the principle of not advertising directly to children, noting in an email message “many of us remember the compelling ‘Trix are for Kids’ slogan.” But McLeod wants to hear argument and evidence on other measures. “I look forward to the debate and evidence regarding some of the other measures included,

for example the role of industry and the sponsorship of sports teams,” she said. Keith Liddiard, executive director of the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, estimated sponsorships from all companies, including the fast-food giants, brings in about $100,000 a year in revenue to his association. Without it, the cost is passed directly to parents, he said. “They’ve been longtime sponsors for many years,” Liddiard said of Wendy’s and

Judge Roy Dickey handed Penner a nine-month jail sentence — three months longer than a sentence he was given following a remarkably similar incident in 2014. In that case, Penner spat in the face of a Kamloops RCMP constable responding to a report of a domestic disturbance, then told the officer he was contagious. According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, hepatitis C is not known to be transmitted by coughing or sneezing, nor by skin contact by others with your body fluids. However, blood-to-blood contact from a hepatitis C-infected person can occur, albeit with a lower risk, via sharing toothbrushes, dental floss, razors, nail files or other items that could have tiny amounts of blood on them.

McDonald’s. “That involves a cash infusion for the program.” The league presents a sponsorship package to advertisers. For Wendy’s that translates into its logo on the front of jerseys for players in U5 to U10 divisions. In the U11 year, the logo changes to McDonald’s. “It’s easy to get money from fast-food restaurants,” GreeneRaine said. “They’re the first ones calling at your door . . .

rather than a development’s community effects. “It’s an interesting idea the city has come up with. I think it’s well worth considering,” he said. “It’s not something that we’ve encountered before, although I believe it’s going to be something that more and more communities are going to want — not just with mines, but with all large developments close to a community.” Milobar declined to get into specifics of the deal, calling the proposal so far a first draft. “We still have to do a lot of work with KGHM, so I wouldn’t want to put a dollar figure on anything at this point when I don’t know what the final makeup or clauses of the agreement would be,” he said. The city hopes to reach an agreement with the company before the environmentalapproval process ends.

It won’t be a condition of final approval, but Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett said the province would be open to writing the terms of a community benefit agreement between the City of Kamloops and KGHM Ajax into permits for the company’s proposed copper and gold mine. KGHM Ajax wants to open a copper and gold mine immediately south of Aberdeen. The project’s review by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) is on hold while the company answers questions from the public, city, a provincial working group and First Nations on its 18,000-page application. Bennett met Tuesday with Mayor Peter Milobar, city councillors and staff during the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria and the topic was, as usual, the contentious mining proposal. The city has been in negotiations with KGHM Ajax on and off for some time and submitted a proposal to the company late this past summer. Bennett said he was told by

the city it could be worth about $4 million annually. “It covers all aspects of designing and building and operating this particular mine as it relates to the City of Kamloops,” Bennett said of his brief look at the proposal thus far. “It’s going to have noise, it’s going to have dust, it’s going to have air quality, it’s going to have pretty much every aspect of the mine operation.” Bennett said he’s supportive of the idea, calling it a “solid and useful” concept, but added the province doesn’t have legislative authority to require KGHM Ajax to commit to a deal with the city. But if there is a deal in place, adding its conditions to the company’s environmental certificate or permits from the ministry, along with other conditions from the province and the EAO, would be a possibility. “If they can get to a point where everyone agrees what the conditions are, then we can look seriously at including at least some of those conditions in permits,” he said. Bennett said Kamloops’ agreement could be unique in B.C. While so-called fair-share agreements exist, they have focused on revenue sharing,

TARGET WAYS TO GET KIDS ACTIVE

en. Nancy Greene Raine of Sun Peaks wants to target childhood obesity by curtailing what she calls “manipulative” marketing of food and beverages to kids. If her private member’s bill becomes law (and such bills from the Senate rarely do), it would mean, for example, the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association jerseys in Kamloops bearing the logos of Wendy’s and McDonald’s would be prohibited. It is tough to equate static logos on jerseys to Joe Camel or a spastic Trix rabbit on TV when it comes to luring children onto the obesity train, but we understand the intent of the bill. Childhood obesity rates in Canada have fallen in the past decade, according to research done by the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, but they remain higher than they should be. According to Statistics Canada’s 2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey, reasons for rising obesity rates vary. “The factors associated with overweight and obesity are complex and include health behaviours such as eating habits and daily physical activity, and broader social, environmental and biological determinants that influence these health behaviours,” the report states. Certainly, if one’s diet is unhealthy, one will become unhealthy. But will banning advertising of soft drinks and snacks aimed at kids truly slim down a future generation? Perhaps Greene Raine’s campaign should be less about slogans and ads that may lead a kid and his family to a post-game burger and pop and more about urging all levels of government and relevant institutions to seriously work on getting — and keeping — kids active and away from all unhealthy food and drink. Why isn’t physical education a mandatory class through Grade 12 in B.C.? Why isn’t PE a class taken year-long, even in school districts that use the semester system? Why not look at applying higher taxes to all foods and drinks that have higher levels of sugar?

Hunger doesn’t take a break

or far too long, I’ve been writing stories and columns about a fact of life in Kamloops that will not go away. Perhaps that’s because poverty is a systemic problem in our world. It always has been and it seems like it always will be. But the simple reality is children go hungry in Kamloops. The folks at the Kamloops Food Bank see it. Last year, they helped feed more than 2,000 children and teenagers. They also provide food for other agencies and schools that offer their own meal programs — from elementary schools to the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club to the Family Tree Family Centre to the Kamloops Child Development Centre, where I now volunteer. The issue, however, is that the need seems to continue to outpace the work being done to address it. During a chat with food bank executive director Bernadette Siracky, she said they’re seeing even more children coming in with parents and guardians, more baskets going out with food for children and babies, more moments that continue to be heartbreaking. The volunteers behind the Rotary family dinners at NorKam secondary every month also see it. They see families — some with two parents, some with one, some with grandma or grandpa filling the parent role — coming to be fed, to relax and to be with other people for one worry-free meal. One of the people behind that program was at the recent meet-

Street

LEVEL ing of the Kamloops-Thompson board of education to talk about feeding children. Christopher Seguin, a member of the Rotary Club of Downtown, has spent plenty of evenings in the North Shore school’s cafeteria (provided to the club by the school district), serving meals, talking with people, watching kids play and, most importantly, eat a meal. He told trustees the next step in ensuring hungry kids are fed is to remember that, when the school week is done, it’s the weekend — and hunger doesn’t acknowledge the days of the week. Seguin told trustees the club wants to bring the Starfish Pack program to Kamloops. It is already in many B.C. communities, including Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Vernon and Williams Lake. The program began in Abbotsford when a Rotary club there met with the school district to talk about the fact almost 400 children in elementary schools were depending on their school for either a breakfast or lunch program.

The club and district estimated more than 300 of them would go without a nutritional meal on the weekend and the Starfish Packs were created. Children are given a backpack filled with foods to take home for the weekend. It might be cereal or tuna, granola bars or peanut butter, but there’s enough for two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners, as well as snacks. Every Thursday, those packs are filled again and every Friday, they are given back to the student. It’s estimated $525 will keep one pack filled for the entire school year. Seguin hopes to start with 10 students in Kamloops. Board vice-chair Meghan Wade noted there was dead silence from the trustees after Seguin’s presentation, but you could see from their faces how moved they were. Wade said she was ready to write a cheque right then — but, as with all requests that come to the board, it’s gone to administration for study and a report. It’s another example of Rotarians stepping up to make our community better. Here’s hoping that, soon, we no longer need this kind of initiative. The club is looking for donations — individual or corporate — to fund the program, as well as volunteers to fill the packs. The food bank is a partner, not only in providing some of the food, but in giving the volunteers space at its Wilson Street site to do the packing.

THANK YOU TO CITY SHOULD THE MARKET ADOPT LIVING WAGE POLICY

Editor: A big thank you to the vendors at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market who provide wholesome, bountiful produce to us week after week. We are so grateful for the countless hours they spend planting, cultivating, harvesting, loading and transporting in the early morning — rain or shine. The food is superior quality and tastes delicious. Tracy Heintz Kamloops

Editor: Re: (‘A call for a city living-wage policy,’ Sept. 27): Yes, I do think the City of Kamloops should adopt a living-wage policy There is not a surfeit of good-paying jobs in Kamloops and at least people would not be exploited. Deb Podurgiel Kamloops

Editor: According to letter writer John Sternig, we, the residents of Sun Rivers, are all rich, so we should pay more to the city for Royal Inland Hospital costs (‘Time to ask TIB to pay fair share,’ Sept. 20): In one way, Sternig is correct about us being rich, but not in the way he means. We are rich in the beautiful surroundings in which we have the pleasure of living, the big horn sheep that like to visit us and other wildlife that grace us with their presence all year long. Yes, that is all beautiful and we are rich. We, the residents of Sun Rivers, are like residents of all communities in Canada — a diverse mixture of incomes. The argument that we should pay more to the city for hospital costs is a bit misleading. We pay about the same to the Tk’emlups Indian Band as residents of Kamloops pay to city hall in property taxes. From that revenue, the TIB pays the City of Kamloops for fire-protection and sanitary-sewer services. Does money from the TIB to the City of Kamloops get used for anything else? Does it go to help fund police services, schools or the hospital? We should know before we are asked to pay more money. V. Bentley Sun Rivers

United Way kicks off new campaign The United Way Thompson-NicolaCariboo changed the way it runs its fundraising last year, announcing a three-year goal of collecting $6.5 million. In making that announcement at the October kickoff breakfast last year, the organization also announced it had already received $186,743 from corporate sponsors. Another $2.2 million came in through the formal campaign. Fast-forward to this year’s kick-off breakfast on Tuesday and the total in the fund is now at $2.8 million, again thanks to corporate sponsors making their donations early. That all points to continuing success as this year’s main campaign begins, said Joshua Knaak, who heads up the group of volunteers working with the organization to raise the money. The breakfast at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre was also held to recognize businesses and individuals who excelled during the 2015 campaign: • Judy Sturm of Interior Health Authority, who was recognized for her work as the employee campaign coordinator with the agency; • Kamloops RCMP’s regimental ball was recognized as having the greatest impact on the campaign, collecting

During Tuesday’s event, two new partnerships were announced.

incoherence as his government promises to ratchet down greenhouse gas emissions while also fuelling the creation of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide. Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said the decision on Tuesday to approve the Pacific NorthWest LNG project on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, B.C., balances the imperatives of economic growth and environmental stewardship. Among the 190 conditions placed on the $36-billion project is an annual cap of 4.3 million tonnes of CO2 emissions over the estimated 30-year lifespan of the facility — enough to measurably raise Canada’s yearly output of greenhouse gases. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna will be in Montreal next week to begin talks with the provinces on a plan to cut Canada’s emissions. She said every new energy project the Liberals approve must fit within the national carbon framework. The government is refusing to tip its hand on its next major energy decision: the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion

Five things to know about LNG THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal cabinet has conditionally approved the Pacific NorthWest liquefied natural gas project. Here are five things to know about the proposed development: THE PLAYERS Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned oil and gas giant, is leading the development. It has a 62 per cent stake in both the LNG processing facility on Lelu Island and the natural gas reserves in northeastern B.C. that would feed into it. THE PRODUCT LNG is produced by cooling natural gas (consisting mostly of methane) to minus 162 degrees Celsius in order to make it a liquid. LNG takes up 1/600th of the space that it takes up in its gaseous state. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The final federal environmental report estimates that at full capacity, the LNG facility would emit the equivalent of 4.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. But the federal government has capped those emissions at 4.3 million tonnes. STATE OF THE INDUSTRY A glut of global LNG projects have led to a drop in prices and prospects for LNG. The Shell-led LNG Canada project, which would have been built near Kitimat was indefinitely delayed in July. THE COSTS The entire Pacific NorthWest LNG project is estimated to cost $36 billion. That includes about $11 billion for the export terminal, $6.5 billion in pipelines, the $5.5 billion Petronas spent buying Progress Energy, and the roughly $2 billion a year the consortium would spend on drilling and production of natural gas.

BANGOR, Maine — A retired RCMP officer accused of smuggling narwhal tusks across the border pleaded guilty yesterday in a U.S. court to 10 money-laundering counts. Prosecutors said Gregory Logan, 59, of Saint John, N.B., smuggled 250 tusks valued at $1.5 million to $3 million into Maine in false compartments in his vehicle. Narwhals are medium-sized whales known for spiral tusks that can grow longer than 2.5 metres. They are protected by the U.S. and Canada. Logan, who was a Mountie when he began bringing the tusks into the U.S., faces up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine for each count. Logan was originally charged in Maine with smuggling, conspiracy

and money laundering. He pleaded guilty in Canada to a related wildlife smuggling crime and terms of his extradition limited U.S. charges to money laundering. Prosecutors said Logan kept a post office box at a shipping store in Ellsworth, Maine, where the tusks were shipped to U.S. buyers, and maintained a bank account in Bangor, Maine, to aid in funnelling money back to Canada. Logan was originally charged along with two U.S. residents. Andrew Zarauskas, of Union, N.J., was convicted and sentenced to 33 months. Charges against Jay Conrad, of Lakeland, Tenn., were dismissed. Logan, who retired from the RCMP in 2003, served four months of home detention and paid a $350,000 fine in Canada.

Family of Ontario man killed by police alleges racial prejudice DIANA MEHTA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The family of a black Ontario man killed by police after a routine traffic stop has launched a lawsuit against members of a Torontoarea force, alleging officers engaged in racial profiling and were motivated by racial prejudice. Jermaine Carby’s family is seeking at least $12 million in damages in the suit filed against the Peel regional police chief, a number of officers and the force’s board. Carby’s death highlighted issues with the controversial police practice of street checks, known as “carding,’’ which critics say disproportionately target young black, brown and indigenous men and women. Ontario’s government has since moved to ban the practice. The case was investigated by the province’s police watchdog, which last year decided not to charge the officer who killed the 33-year-old man, saying Carby walked towards police with a knife and refused orders to stop. But in a statement of claim filed this week, a lawyer for Carby’s mother, who is the plaintiff in the case, alleges

Carby’s entire interaction with police was rooted in racial discrimination. “Mr. Carby was subjected to a street check. . . . This street check was not lawful. To the contrary, it was an unlawful search and seizure and motivated by racial prejudice,’’ the document said. “This street check was not an isolated incident but rather one example of a systematic and co-ordinated policy and practice employed by the [Peel Regional Police Service].’’ The lawsuit contains allegations that have not been proven in court. A spokesman for Peel regional police said the force was “unable to comment’’ on the matter that was before the courts. Carby was a passenger in a car that was pulled over in Brampton, Ont., in September 2014 when an officer said the car’s lights weren’t on and its licence plate was dangling. The lawsuit’s statement of claim alleges Const. Jason Senechal, a white officer who observed Carby and his friend in the car, was “immediately suspicious’’ of the pair and decided to pursue “a baseless and unfounded criminal investigation’’ against the men. “Senechal was motivated

by racial prejudice when he detained Mr. Carby at the roadside,’’ the document alleged. “Senechal engaged in racial profiling. He believed Mr. Carby was involved in criminal activity solely because Mr. Carby was a young black man.’’ The statement of claim alleges the lights of the vehicle Carby was in were actually working and its licence plate was secure. It claims Senechal “concocted’’ a reason to stop the car so he could pursue an unwarranted criminal investigation. After questioning the driver of the vehicle, conducting a pat-down search of the man and taking a breath sample, Senechal then questioned Carby, asking for his name and date of birth before running his information through a database, the statement of claim said. The search on Carby revealed the man suffered from mental illness, had previously attempted to disarm a police officer and had an outstanding warrant in B.C. for allegedly breaching probation, the document said. It alleged Senechal ignored information that showed

Carby was a vulnerable person and instead only focused on information that “supported his prejudicial and discriminatory views.’’ Senechal called for backup and, after two other officers arrived, questioned Carby further, allegedly upsetting the man, the document said. When officers moved to search Carby, he pulled out a knife to prevent them from doing so, it said. “His belief was reasonable considering his state of mind and that he had been racially profiled, unlawfully detained, interrogated,’’ the document said, noting that all three officers drew their guns. “The actions of the officers exacerbated the situation and drove Mr. Carby into a state of mental health crisis.’’ Carby slowly walked towards the officers and told them to shoot him, when he did not drop the knife, one of the officers, Const. Ryan Reid, shot at him seven times, the statement of claim said. “Mr. Carby was shot and killed approximately three minutes after Senechal had searched his name,’’ the document said. “No officer provided reasonable and appropriate medical assistance to Mr. Carby.’’

Whitehorse greets Royal Family with tweets and language lesson DIRK MEISSNER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WHITEHORSE — The tapping and beeping noises out of the old telegraph went on for what felt like ages, but when it was done 90-year-old Doug Bell asked the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to press the button. Seconds later, William and Kate tweeted a royal welcome message using Second World War telegraph technology to tweet a message to the world. Bell has been tapping out coded messages for most of his life, but Wednesday’s royal tweet was a treat, he said. The legendary Yukon wireless telegraph operator demonstrated his old-school skills during a tour by the royal couple of the MacBride Museum in Whitehorse. “It was still in me, just like tapping out an alphabet,’’ said

Royals stop in Kelowna The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Kelowna on Tuesday for a tour of the city that included a visit to a local university campus and a chance to sample B.C.’s culinary scene before visiting Whitehorse. After a visit to UBC’s Okanagan campus, where they met varsity athletes and watched an exhibition volleyball game, the couple visited a winery overlooking Okanagan Lake. “Weather, food, wine — what more could you want?” the Duke of Cambridge said while attending the Taste of B.C. Festival.

Bell, who admitted to being much slower than he was

during his days as a telegraph operator. The duke and duchess were the first to use the telegraph to tweet technology to sign the museum’s digital guest book. The technology was developed by Canadian IT company Make IT Solutions. The museum has a communications exhibit highlighting how the community tried to stay in touch with the outside world from its remote northern location, said Patricia Cunning, the museum’s director. “We are very interested in doing hands-on activities for the public.’’ In his day, Bell sent thousands of message from Yukon around the world, Cunning said. The royals also gathered with giggling children at the museum for a First Nations language lesson. The children

sang a welcome song and pronounced the names of wolves, bears and rabbits in First Nations languages. The sun was out for the royal visit, but it was only was chilly 2 C. Kate wore a red kneelength coat and William had on a blue blazer over a sweater. The entire downtown area of Whitehorse was shut down for the Royal visit. Thousands of cheering people lined the streets to greet the couple. William spent several minutes chatting with a First Nations artist who carved a wooden mask that included flowing black hair. The royals then travelled south to the Yukon community of Carcross where they were entertained by First Nations dancers. Carcross is a community ringed by snow-capped mountains.

Vancouver floats Airbnb license idea THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Vancouver is proposB.C. News ing a new businesslicence system for short-term rentals through websites like Airbnb to deal with “dangerously’’ low vacancy rates. Mayor Gregor Robertson said the new regulations would allow short-term rentals in principal residences that are either owned or rented. But the proposed changes would make daily or weekly rentals illegal in homes that aren’t principal residences or are structures like boats or trailers. Robertson said the lack of long-term rental housing has reached a crisis point and the aim of the changes is to get at least 1,000 housing units back on the market. He said current regulations requiring a minimum 30-day rental period will be amended so residents can rent part or all of their principle homes on a short-term basis. General manager of building and licensing Kaye Krishna said city staff has reached out to all major companies operating short-term rentals online to come up with what is believed to be a balanced approach.

BRIEFS

Guilty verdict in Island mill shooting NANAIMO — A British Columbia Supreme Court jury in Nanaimo has found a man guilty of two counts each of first-degree murder and attempted murder in a shooting at a Vancouver Island sawmill two years ago. Kevin Addison used a sawed-off shotgun to kill two former co-workers and injure two others at the Western Forest Products facility in Nanaimo on April 30, 2014. The Crown had argued Addison was motivated by revenge to carry out the attack after Western Forest Products laid him off in 2008 and didn’t rehire him two years later. Addison’s defence lawyer said during the trial that his client should be found guilty of manslaughter instead because he didn’t intend to kill anyone. The jury began deliberating Tuesday afternoon after the judge reviewed the arguments made over the course of the three-week trial. They returned with a verdict yesterday afternoon. A date for sentencing has not yet been set.

Six years for Ponzi scheme conviction RICHMOND — A former notary who ran a Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors of more than $100 million has been sentenced to six years in prison. Provincial court Judge Gregory Rideout says Rashida Samji knew what she was doing and went forward with the scheme with her eyes wide open. The court heard that Samji collected investments ranging from $50,000 to $12 million from the investors over a nine-year period. The Crown had called for a sentence of up to eight years, while her defence lawyer said a fourto five-year sentence would be appropriate. The B.C. Securities Commission found in an earlier hearing that Samji and two companies she controlled committed over $100 million in fraud, and she was fined $33 million.

WELCOME AUTUMN AT OTTER LAKE

TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.ca

Take the family on a weekend paddling adventure this fall at beautiful Otter Lake. It’s located near the historic mining town of Tulameen. Ideal for old-fashioned camping, Otter Lake Provincial Park has two locations: a main picnic/day-use area in Tulameen and a lovely lakeside campground about five kilometres farther north along the road. The Cascade Mountain Range surrounds the park and offers majestic canyons and clear-flowing streams. An assortment of wildlife, including otter, beaver and red squirrel, call this area home, as do mountain goats, cougars and grizzly bears.

The lake is also full of large lake trout, making it a fisherman’s delight. Otter Lake is located 33 kilometres northwest of Princeton off Highway 5A as you drive toward Coalmont and Tulameen. The route is well marked. There is also access from Highway 97C (Coquihalla Connector) by turning at Aspen Grove and following the signs. A 34-kilometre gravel road leaves Highway 5A just past the Kentucky-Alleyne turnoff. It leads through sections of the Nicola Ranch. The roads, both from Tulameen and the gravel stretch from the north, are narrow and winding, with limited visibility. Use caution and yield to logging trucks. teresathetraveler.ca

Diesels take back seat, electrics up front at Paris car show DAVID McHUGH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKFURT — Carmakers are finding the Paris auto show, held in a city whose mayor wants to ban diesels to reduce pollution, to be a fine place to show off new zero-emission electric vehicles. Most prominently, Volkswagen will unveil a small electric car as part of its pivot from diesel to more electric models as it struggles to recover from its scandal of rigging more than 11 million cars to evade diesel emissions tests. And Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz will unveil a luxury electric SUV aimed at warding off competition from, among others, all-electric upstart Tesla. Showing electric cars will help avoid a faux pas in a city where the mayor, Anne Hidalgo, has campaigned against pollution from conventional autos. The Sunday before the show opened, she held a second “Day Without Cars.’’ About half the city was offlimits to private cars for seven hours. Here’s what to expect at the show,

which runs from Saturday through Oct. 16.

“You have to come with something new. With Dieselgate, the world understood that diesel is last year’s model, that the environmental problems are too big and that a change of direction is needed,’’ said Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) at the University of Duisburg-Essen. “It makes little sense to make a big deal about diesel in Paris. You will only get disdainful looks.’’

I SING THE AUTO ELECTRIC Volkswagen has vowed to launch more than 30 fully electric vehicle designs by 2025 and to sell two million to three million of them a year. Its new electric car is billed as a “design study’’ for future models. Volkswagen has admitted equipping diesel cars with software that illegally helped them pass lab tests of their emissions. In normal driving, the cars emitted as much as 40 times the U.S. limit of nitrous oxides, pollutants that can harm peoples’ health. Separate reports have shown that other automakers’ diesel cars also exceed emission limits in normal driving, although without resorting to cheating. Mercedes-Benz is expected to show off an SUV that would compete with other luxury carmakers, in particular Tesla and its Model X. Tesla loses money but its buzz and rising sales to rich customers

HAVE THE BUTLER BRING MY CAR

This undated handout photo shows the 2017 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, which is expected at Paris.

appear to have been noticed by German automakers. General Motors Co.’s Opel division has the Ampera-e, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, which attracted attention when U.S. regulators said it had a range of 238 miles (383 kilome-

tres) on a full charge. Now for the reality check: Not many people buy electric cars, due to limited range and higher cost, and when they do it’s often with a fat tax break. And they’re not really zero emission, either, if coal or natural gas is burned to generate

the electricity to charge them. Only 4.2 per cent of all passenger car registrations in the European Union last year were alternativefuel vehicles. Yet automakers need to sell at least a few electrics to help meet increasingly tough gov-

ernment requirements. The EU is lowering its limit on average carbon dioxide emissions in 2021; the U.S. will require fleetwide average mileage of 54.5 mpg by 2025. Paris Mayor Hidalgo wants to “eradicate’’ diesel in the city by 2020.

Luxury and sports cars are a regular feature of auto shows, and this one is no exception. One of the more breathtaking examples is Ferrari’s limited edition, open-top hybrid LaFerrari Aperta. The company has shown photographs of a ferocious-looking, lowslung two-seater in black with red accents and big side air scoops. Porsche has the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, a four-door sedan with sports car performance. See SOME OF, A16

Some of auto industry’s biggest names passing on Paris LOCAL NEWS DRIVE WAY SUVs and crossovers, which are basically regular cars with SUV features such as bigger wheel wells and more ground clearance. It’s a hot category. Analytical firm IHS Markit says sales of SUVs and crossovers in the midsize category grew over a decade from 432,500 to just under 1.71 million in 2015. The forecast is for more growth. One of the most important in Europe is the Peugeot 5008, which is morphing into a crossover from a socalled multi-purpose vehicle (translation: Van-like vehicle with room for kids, bikes and skis). Skoda will have its seven-seat Kodiaq and Suzuki a sub-compact crossover under the revived Ignis nameplate. At the higher end, Jaguar Land Rover offers a new Discovery with its first wholesale body design change in 12 years.

FOR THE REST OF US

More basic transportation for the mass market also will be on hand, several from French automakers at their home show. Citroen will show off the third generation of its small C3, whose distinctive design includes optional airbumps — cushioned door panels that could deflect stray shopping carts in parking lots. Nissan unveils a new version of its Micra compact. In the midsize category, Honda has the new five-door version of its venerable Civic hatchback.

NOTABLE ABSENCES

Some carmakers are skipping the show, including Rolls-Royce, Ford, Mazda, AstonMartin, Bentley and Lamborghini. Some luxury carmakers prefer to do their own exclusive events; others find the French show too small. There’s also competition from technology shows. Ford Motor Co. opted this year to show its wares at the World Mobile Congress in February in Barcelona, Spain, where chief executive Mark Fields talked about the company’s efforts in new technologies such as autonomous vehicles.

Q&A WITH LEE MILTIMORE, CO-OWNER OF LEE’S MUSIC

COMMUNITY CO-ORDINATOR: JESSICA WALLACE 778-471-7533 or email jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Q: What is the most popular instrument? A: “Accordion students are few and far between.” Q: What is the average age of someone who starts music lessons? A: “We’ve got a lot of students who are going to be youngsters, school-aged kids and adults around the fringes sort of thing. “Generally, if a kid’s interested in music and they can count to 10 and know their alphabet and sit still for half an hour, they can come take lessons. If you’re three, you’re probably a little too young. Six, seven, eight — good years to start. Some of our more advanced students are 15, 16, 14, younger. Just under their driver’s license age. “Then some of them, when they get their driver’s license and their girlfriend, then they find other interests. Or boyfriend. So it varies.” Q: Is it easier to pick it up when you’re younger? A: “I think if you’re interested, you can do anything.”

Madison Hubbard, 14, plucks the strings of an acoustic guitar during her first lesson at Lee’s Music on Battle Street.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW

A LESSON TO FRET OVER Madison Hubbard started learning guitar this fall. KTW tagged along for her first lesson and will follow her progress through the year. JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ourteen-year-old Madison Hubbard has plucked strings, but she has never attempted to play a full song. Unsure whether to use a junior or adult-sized guitar, two acoustics sit with her and mom in the hallway at Lee’s Music on Battle Street while she awaits her first ever guitar lesson. “This was my dad’s and this one belongs to both me and my brother,” Madison says. Dad was part inspiration for taking guitar lessons. While mom’s not musical, she says guitar will complement Madison’s years of singing. “There’s one song I want to try. It’s House of the Rising Sun,”

Madison says of The Animals’ most famous hit. Matthew Sommerfeldt, 38, has been teaching guitar for more than a decade and has played for twice as long. He greets the duo in the hallway. “What kind of music are you into, Madison?” he asks. “I like classic rock,” she says. “OK,” he says. “So we’ll start with like AC/DC and stuff like that?” Matthew’s got a Metallica poster on the wall of his classroom, but has taught everything from Christmas carols to Mozart and Taylor Swift. He helps Madison choose the most comfortable guitar, tunes it up and thus begins lesson No. 1. “The first thing we’ve got to do is read guitar music,” he says. The strings are numbered one

through six, one being the skinny little strand at the bottom and six being the big guy at the top. “That make sense?” Matthew asks. “Uh huh,” Madison replies. He then asks her to point out the third string, which she does. “Yep, good. Fifth [string]. Seventh.” “Seventh? Wait, what?” It’s a test. “There’s only six,” he says. Laughter erupts, but Madison knows enough to move onto frets. A zero on the page means just hit the open string. “Dungggggg.” “Dunggggggggg.” A three means third fret and a five means fifth fret. “Does that make sense?” Matthew asks. “Mhmm,” Madison says.

Q: YouTube tutorials can teach almost anything these days. What is the value of coming in and taking lessons? A: “It’s one on one with a live person versus a static display. There’s communication there. “I think it’s probably more of an instant teaching thing. If you get stuck on something and you’re watching something on the Internet, it might make sense to you, but you won’t get that instant feedback, which is really important. If you thought you always had to stand on your head to play guitar, the teacher might tell you, ‘No, don’t do that. Do it this way instead.’ I think there’s an advantage there to have human-tohuman contact.” — This Q&A has been edited for brevity.

“You just learned how to read guitar music.” Matthew takes Madison through 0-3-6-5 and a shaky rendition of Smoke on the Water reverberates from her guitar — her first song. She isn’t pushing down hard enough, but strength and muscle memory will come. Next is a little Creedence Clearwater Revival and strum patterns. She tries a few down and ups, then each note one at a time. A few chords follow. “Ow,” she says. Her fingers are sore after less than a half hour of playing. Time will harden Madison’s fingers and improve her sound. While Matthew knows each student learns at their own pace, he recommends consistent practising — 20 minutes every day is better than two hours once a week.

DRAW DATE: OCT. 4TH

Madison intends to do so in her basement living room. “I’m going to try for every day,” she says. The lesson is wrapping up, but Matthew hits the right note before calling it a night. “Do you have any songs in particular you’d like to learn?” he asks. “House of the Rising Sun because I can sing that one,” Madison says. “Oh! Oh, gee. Do I remember that?” he says, picking up the guitar and jumping right into the song. Madison grins, then sings: “There is a house in New Orleans . . .” It’s fun, but the impromptu jam offers up one last lesson: “That’s using those chords that I was going over,” Matthew says. “It’s A minor, C, D, F, B Minor, E, A Minor, E7.”

RECOGNIZING DISABILITIES AT WORK JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thursday mornings are a highlight for employees at Schoening Funeral Service. It’s when Dustin comes in for work, beaming as he washes cars, takes out the garbage and tidies the downtown grounds alongside funeral assistant Mike Hilliard. His joyful disposition radiates for the entire hour — the extent of his weekly shift. The 21-year-old has severe mental disabilities and a short attention span, but he responds enthusiastically when asked if he enjoys his job. “It’s a part of my week I look forward to,” Hilliard said. “It’s not just about working, it’s about him obtaining the feeling that he’s a part of something and that he’s got peers and those peers support him.” September is Disability Employment Month, recognizing people with disabilities in the workforce and the employers who support them. According to the provincial government, there are more than 546,000 people over the age of 15 — about 15 per cent — who identify as having a disability. The employment rate for this group is 16 percentage points lower than that for people without disabilities. Dustin’s job at Schoening is the result of a unique arrangement designed by Sabrina Weeks, an employment advisor at Open Door Group, who approached Hilliard with the concept. Customized employment gives people with disabilities the opportunity to be part of the workforce and the satisfaction of contributing to society. Staff at Schoening took it one step further by adding to a pool that pays Dustin’s wage. After eight weeks,

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Dustin, age 21, has severe mental disabilities and a short attention span. He works at Schoening’s Funeral Services on Thursdays, washing vehicles taking out the garbage and more.

Hilliard is more than willing to continue the partnership that has proved gratifying for everyone. Few things are more fulfilling for Dustin than work, said his grandmother Kathy Bently. He’s taken odd jobs with the help of his support workers from Axis Family Resources, but for him to participate in working life, he needs tailored positions. “He loves working,” Bently said. “In Dustin’s situation, it is difficult to find him employment because it needs to be carved out to his abilities and his attention span. So this has worked out well.” Program director Blair Grey said Open Door Group is reliant on employers practising inclusive hiring and giving opportunities to people living with various developmental, neurological, mental health or learning disorders. Many employees don’t require customized positions, either, he said. Traditional jobs are often a good fit for people with disabilities, a term Blair called extremely broad. “There are a lot of great employers in our community that do practice inclusive hiring and hire people with disabilities, but not all, I don’t think, are open or aware of the benefits hiring someone with a disability will bring to their company,”

Grey said. “There’s still definitely some outdated myths and misconceptions.” Ken McKeen, operating partner at Swiss Chalet, was approached by Open Door Group to give its employment-program participants an opportunity to gain work experience. He brought on 32-year-old Michael Dodds for a onemonth introduction to the restaurant business and ended up hiring him full-time to help with dishwashing and cleaning. McKeen said Dodds, who describes himself as a slow learner, has impeccable work ethic. “The atmosphere is always fun,” Dodds said. “Having fun makes you want to

come to work.” Dodds said he spent 11 months with the Open Door Group, working on his resume and interview skills after finding many of his job inquiries were going unanswered. The program helped him identify his strengths and abilities, eventually leading to his job at Swiss Chalet. “You find people with disabilities, and I’ve found over the years, they’re more dedicated, they’re punctual, they’re there on time, they’re appreciative of their job,” McKeen said. “I think one of the things you have to do is be proactive in your training towards them. “A lot of people with disabilities have low self-esteem because of it. Build up that self-

esteem. Michael interacts well with everybody in the restaurant. “He doesn’t feel like he is that person with disability. He feels like he is one of the team.” Grey said commonly held misconceptions include a belief hiring disabled employees will be expensive with respect to specialized equipment and technology. He said most employees don’t require any such equipment. For the few that do, it can be funded through WorkBC or other available grants. Open Door Group also provides support and wage subsidies to ease issues around ongoing employee training — if it’s needed at all — Grey added. “I think one benefit that’s been seen over and over is there are higher levels of retention of staff with people with disabilities, which means employers aren’t going to be spending their time hiring and training, bringing on new people,” Grey said. “That’s something that’s been proven over and over again.” It also expands the talent pool from which employers can hire, Grey said. With baby boomers aging out of the workforce, there will be fewer traditional candidates in the future.

End of an era

THE FOX’N HOUNDS BLAZERS BUS HAS GIVEN ITS LAST RIDE TO SANDMAN CENTRE ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The bus that has for years shuttled Kamloops Blazers’ fans to and from Sandman Centre sits in the parking lot of Sahali Mall, its decals covered by a giant sign advertising a car giveaway. It will be there for the foreseeable future. After 22 seasons, the Fox’n Hounds Pub is hanging up the keys to the Blazers bus. A mainstay in Kamloops, the park and ride ran to all Blazers’ home games — along with a few other major events — its route beginning at the Sahali bar and ending at Sandman Centre. But it has given its last ride in the Tournament Capital, benched following changes to parking regula-

tions on Lorne Street last spring. “My bus drivers didn’t want to do it anymore because they were missing half the first period and half the third period in order to get the bus,” said Al Deacon, owner of Fox’n Hounds. The city converted parking stalls reserved for buses on the south side of the building to pick up and drop off only, requiring the Fox’s volunteer drivers to park the Blazer bus in the lot underneath the Red Bridge after delivering riders. “It was a service that has been around for a number of years that we had to cease operations this year, unfortunately,” he continued. Contacted by KTW on Monday, city parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said it was the first he had heard of Deacon’s concerns.

Putnam said the change was an effort to reduce congestion and enhance pedestrian safety, as well as improve the situation for riders of the HandyDART. “It was just almost impossible for all of them to park,” Putnam said. “At the same time, we had our HandyDART services that needed to come in and drop off people with mobility issues. “What was happening there was they were actually driving up on to the sidewalk and dropping people off because there was nowhere for the HandyDART vehicles to park.” Fox’n Hounds was on its third bus, Deacon said, its trips down Columbia Street dating back to the days of Riverside Coliseum. The free service generally brought

patrons — many of whom, ironically, were looking to avoid the frustrations of finding parking near Sandman Centre — through the door of the Fox’n Hounds for a pre-game meal and a few drinks. Dave McLay has been riding the Blazers bus for 10 years, eight of which he has been a season ticket holder. He said he questioned whether to keep his tickets when he heard the Fox’s park and ride was no longer. He drove to Sandman once all of last season. “It just takes away from the whole culture,” he said. “If I wasn’t a season ticket holder, we might not go to the games.” The Sahali pub will save a good chunk of money — roughly $10,000 — by parking the bus, but

A G R E AT G O L F I N G E X P E R I E N C E AT A N A F F O R D A B L E P R I C E .

Deacon said the loss of the associated business on Blazers’ game nights will probably hit the bottom line. For the Blazers, who haven’t had stunning attendance numbers in recent seasons, the loss of the bus is unfortunate. It will likely mean more vehicles in an already crowded downtown on game nights. And, while the program didn’t bring massive numbers to the gates at Sandman Centre — roughly 50 fans — every bit helps. “Any time something like that happens, you don’t like to see those kinds of things,” said Blazers’ president and COO Don Moores. “We always like to get as many fans to the rink as possible, as efficiently as possible.”

In the last three years, Sophia Seibel can count on one hand the number of soccer matches she has played in Kamloops. “I think we’ve played two games in Kamloops before,” the 14-year-old told KTW. “I’m so excited because I can play in front of everyone I know. They never get a chance to watch me. I get to show them.” Seibel is unlikely to resemble the player she was when she left the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association for the Thompson Okanagan Football Club at 12 years old — she said it’s impossible to compare her game before and after her time in the B.C. Soccer Premier League. The action is the BCSPL is intense and, as she knew when she joined the TOFC, she has had to improve in order to keep up. “It’s really, really tough. Before every game, you have to be prepared, no matter who we’re playing, because they’re all so good,” she said. “The competition is so hard to play against.” TOFC clubs are regional teams made up of players from across the Interior. The majority of the rosters hail from Vernon, Kamloops and Kelowna, with a few players from Revelstoke, Penticton and even Prince George rounding out the sides. The teams practise twice-weekly in Vernon, with matches taking place throughout the club’s catchment on the weekends. TOFC will spend two of the next three

weekends in Kamloops, the program’s only matches in the Tournament Capital for the League Cup season, which began earlier this month and runs through November. In the spring, TOFC plays in its other phase, the BC Soccer Premier Cup. Action this weekend begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday with boys’ play. The first girls’ matches will kick off at the same time on Sunday. All 11 contests will be played on McArthur Island. Thompson Okanagan plays in the B.C. Soccer Premier League, which also includes six teams from the Lower Mainland — Coquitlam Metro Ford SC, Preston GM Fraser Valley Premier, Mountain United FC, Coastal FC, Surrey United and Fusion FC — and one team from the Island — Vancouver Island FC. “It’s the highest level of youth soccer in Canada,” said TOFC general manager Kai Tolpinrud.

“Theoretically, the best kids are channelled toward this league and then from this league they get selected to provincial and [Vancouver] Whitecaps programming and national team programming.” Celebrating its fifth year, Tolpinrud said he’s pleased with the current standing the TOFC program, but expects its progression to continue. Last year, 12 graduating players were given scholarships to university soccer programs and he would like to see more. The program has also graduated players to the B.C. High Performance Program and the various Vancouver Whitecaps development programs and Tolpinrud said that is the area where the most potential still lies. “Obviously room for growth, but the last two years have been highly successful for this club,” he said. This fall, between four and six teams should be in position to contend for the League Cup in their age groups. “We’ve become

highly competitive within the league and we’ve become one of the better organized clubs in the league,” Tolpinrud continued. “I’m extremely happy with where we are. The growth out of Kamloops this last phase, they grew by 50 per cent, which is fantastic.” Seibel and her club are 2-0-0 heading into this weekend, after beating Coastal FC for the first time in her history with the program last weekend. She and her 2002born teammates will take to the pitch at 3 p.m. All TOFC clubs will play Mountain United FC this weekend. “For me, it was pretty easy to make the decision,” Seibel said, reflecting on her choice to join TOFC. “I knew how much better quality and how much better of a soccer player I was going to be playing in it.” TOFC holds open evaluations following the Premier Cup in the summer, looking for its next class of athletes.

SIDEROFF DEBUTS FOR DUCKS, HELD POINTLESS Deven Sideroff made his NHL debut on Tuesday night, drawing into a preseason game as his Anaheim Ducks squared off against the Arizona Coyotes. The Kamloops Blazers’ forward had

four shots in 15:43 of playing time in a 2-1 loss at home. He did not record a point. In 63 games with the Blazers last season, Sideroff had 59 points, including 19 goals. The 19-year-old was returned to the Blazers

yesterday. Forward Garrett Pilon remains in Washington with the Capitals, the only Kamloops player still away at an NHL camp. Goaltender Connor Ingram was returned by the Tampa Bay Lightning yesterday.

The Blazers will be in Victoria tomorrow, to take on the hometown Royals, and will play the Vancouver Giants on Sunday. Kamloops next plays at Sandman Centre on Oct. 12 against the Spokane Chiefs.

Both of the experimental teams were big successes in Toronto, but neither may exist when the next tournament rolls around. Though the tournament will live on, the NHL and NHLPA have yet to decide what the event will look like down the line or even when it will occur. “We will each take a deep breath,’’ NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said this week, “let our respective troops recover and will then debrief and get together and talk about what it is we think went well, what it is we think maybe we can do better, what it is maybe we should do different and start planning out the future.’’ “The first time you do something there are always long lists of things you’d like to do better and hopefully you perfect it over time,’’ NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said in a separate interview. What the World Cup has not proven to be is a replacement for the Olympics, if that was ever even the hope. Mike Babcock, the two-time gold medal-winning head coach for Canada, has long professed his belief that the World Cup could never replace the Olympics. Part of his thinking stems from the inclusion of concept teams like Europe, which remove the countryon-country tension of true best-on-best competitions. The European squad even competed

without an anthem because players said a tune created from scratch would offer nothing with regard to national pride. The opener of the final between Canada and Europe — which Canada won 3-1 — offered none of the usual intensity of an Olympic gold medal match. Game 2 goes tonight at 5 p.m. While Babcock praised the World Cup earlier this week, he also said: “It’s not the Olympics. Let’s not get confused.’’ Fehr said the World Cup was never thought of as a replacement for the Olympics. “This is the ‘Let’s go do the best thing ice hockey’s ever done on an international scale,’’’ he said. Fehr also argued that the competition level was higher, on balance, than the Olympics. Both the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association contend that the competitiveness was high in Toronto — perhaps the best ever — but while many of the games were close in score, the World Cup itself lacked tension. Canada entered as the overwhelming favourite and has proceeded to roll through everyone. Even the Canadians’ worst offering was enough for a two-goal win in the first game of the final. That may be a cyclical reality though with teams from Finland, the United States and Sweden all undergoing some kind of evolution. Bettman said the future of the two concept teams hasn’t been determined, but it’s apparent Europe will be a oneand-done entity. It’s conceivable that a qualifying tournament determines the final two spots moving forward. Ignoring the buzziest team of the tournament for future events will prove challenging, though.

Loaded with five of the past six No. 1 overall picks, including Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid, North America was the most intriguing aspect of the World Cup by far. Babcock said the North Americans were “spectacular’’ but wondered about the feasibility of the group down the line, especially if McDavid and Matthews played for their respective countries next time around. Would a future squad offer the same excitement? It’s uncertain, too, if McDavid and Matthews will be exempt from having to represent North America again. McDavid has already said he hopes to play for Canada and not North America at the next event. North America was the top draw. Three of the four highest-attended games thus far included the 23-andunder squad from Canada and the United States; a preliminary round tilt between the U.S. and Canada set the high-water mark at 19,106. Official attendance hovered just below 19,000 for most games, but empty seats and boxes were more norm than exception, especially during afternoon games. One game between the Czechs and Europe drew less than 9,000 fans. Even important games between rivals didn’t lure a full house. A Saturday night semifinal between Canada and Russia, old rivals, drew 19,021, less than four preliminary-round games. The first game of a buzz-starved final drew even less, at 18,377. Babcock suggested housing the tournament in two different cities to eliminate those sparsely-attended afternoon affairs (which do benefit international television viewing), an idea Fehr said was worth considering.

SPORTS

Turkey sandwiches, Russian hackers, old captains on display at Ryder Cup CHASKA, Minn. — The latest tidbits from the Ryder Cup:

1:25 p.m

You might think Davis Love III has enough to do during Ryder Cup week, even with five assistants helping him try to win one for the home team.

Yesterday, he added another responsibility to his role as U.S. captain: sandwich deliveryman. Apparently even the team he called the greatest ever needs its turkey sandwiches to play great. “If we don’t get the turkey sandwiches to these guys, they’re not

going to be happy,’’ Love said.

Noon

Europe’s Justin Rose says he “wasn’t bothered one bit’’ that records showing he received a therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) were published online by hackers seeking to embarrass

some Olympic athletes. “All the boxes were ticked,’’ said Rose, who won the gold medal at the Rio Olympics last month. Russian hackers who broke into the World Anti-Doping Agency database published similar records about TUEs for a

number of Rio athletes. Rose requested and received permission to use an anti-inflammatory in May to treat a herniated disk.

10 a.m.

Phil Mickelson criticized another Ryder Cup captain in explaining why this American

team will be prepared to play its best. Mickelson was the catalyst for change in 2014 when he publicly questioned Tom Watson’s heavy-handed role as captain in Gleneagles in another American loss. That led to a task force that allowed for more

player involvement. Mickelson said in 2004, Hal Sutton only told him he was playing with Tiger Woods two days before the start of the matches. Mickelson said he had to learn how to hit a different golf ball and it affected his preparations. /CP

“I go on board to make sure the tanker conforms with international safety guidelines.” – Captain Robert Scott, Loading Master, Kinder Morgan Canada

Tankers calling at Trans Mountain’s loading dock must comply with internationally accepted oil-handling safety protocols and best practices. If the expansion is approved, enhanced measures will make sure that risks to our waterways from Trans Mountain tanker traffic will remain extremely low. We have been committed to safety for over 60 years – and we intend to keep it that way.

•

Tankers calling at Westridge Marine Terminal are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards.

•

All vessels must go through rigid pre-screening and physical inspection.

•

Only double hulled tankers are allowed.

•

Two expert local pilots are on board loaded tankers to Victoria. In future, pilots will disembark at Race Rocks, extending the piloted distance.

•

An expanded tug escort regime will cover the entire tanker route – from Burnaby past the North Shore, through the Strait of Georgia and the Juan de Fuca Strait.

•

Transport Canada’s certified marine-based spill response organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC), is on call 24/7.

•

More than $150 million will be invested in WCMRC to create new response bases, fund new equipment and employ 100 new people. This will double the spill response capabilities and cut mandated response times in half.

•

To support the ‘polluter pay principle’ enshrined in Canada’s spill response regime, there is a $1.4 billion industry fund available for response cost and compensation in the unlikely event of a marine spill.

Throughout high school, Juli played on the Sa-Hali Secondary rugby team and badminton team. She enjoyed zumba, kickboxing, and most recently roller derby. As a child, Juli took acting classes and was very skilled at dramatizing TV shows this skill carried forward into her wonderful ability to recount daily stories from her work in customer service. She loved gathering with her cousins and relatives at family reunions held across Canada and the US every other year. She was very close to her cousin Ciara and the two were inseparable as children. Juli had recently started the Human Kinetics Degree Program at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna and was excited to become a healthcare professional. Her past volunteer work as a candy striper at Royal Inland Hospital helped form her decision to pursue education in a health profession. A Memorial Service will take place on Saturday, October 1st, 2016 at 3:30 pm in the Calvary Temple. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Kamloops Raven program or Options Okanagan Treatment Centre in Kelowna. Juli also loved animals so a donation to the SPCA would be appropriate.

He was especially proud of his contribution to the construction of the Revelstoke dam, several pulp mills in BC, as well as his 13 years at Weyerhaeuser. Roy was a member of I.U.P.A.T. Local 38 and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52. He will be greatly missed by his beloved companion Diane, sister Gloria and family, brother Don and family and numerous close friends.

REMEMBER By Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
