students — a time when students often start to struggle with difficult words. While the study was mainly focused on teaching methods, one group of students was also given iPads with educational apps to use. To the surprise of researchers, the use of extra technology seemed to pay off.
Friends and family of a Lower Mainland man killed in downtown Kamloops more than five years ago after being caught in the crossfire of a violent gang war gasped in court after hearing his killer texted “LMAO” after being told his deadly attack killed an innocent bystander. Calling the attack that killed Archie Lepretre unprovoked and calculated, B.C. Supreme Court Texts sent by Travis Justice Dev Dley yesterday Johnny after he killed sentenced 27-year-old Archie Lepretre. Travis Johnny to 14 years in federal prison before becoming eligible for parole. Lepretre’s friends and family let out sighs and clapped as Dley delivered his sentence. “This was a planned and deliberate attack done to advance the interest of organized crime,” Dley said. “It was the culmination of several days of stalking and looking for the victims.” Johnny, 27, pleaded guilty last November to second-degree murder relating to the March 2011 stabbing death of Lepretre.

NDP to select south candidate on Dec. 11 CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
New Democrats in Kamloops-South Thompson will decide on Dec. 11 between two women vying to represent the party in next year’s provincial election. Peter Northcott, president of the electoral association, said the party has agreed on the December date for the local nomination meeting. The location is not yet set. Former city councillor Nancy Bepple and retired teacher and longtime New Democrat Lillian Kwan have announced they will contest the party’s nomination. Party rules allow another nominee to come forward by early next month. “There’s only two I’m aware of,” Northcott said of Bepple and Kwan. He said others have expressed an interest, but doubts another candidate
will come forward to challenge. The mid-December date means candidates can no longer sign up new members. Under party rules, the effective cutoff date was Sept. 11. About 200 party members are expected to be eligible to vote. Once the NDP has nominated its candidate in Kamloops-South Thompson, all the parties in the legislature will have named candidates for both electoral districts in Kamloops. The B.C. Liberal Party will choose its candidate to replace incumbent Terry Lake in Kamloops-North Thompson on Nov. 19. A location has yet to be confirmed. In Kamloops-South Thompson, incumbent MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone will be the Liberal candidate. Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers will represent the Greens and city baker Beat Klossner will carry the
Communist Party of B.C. flag. In Kamloops-North Thompson, Mayor Peter Milobar, North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo and Tobiano founder Mike Grenier are seeking the Liberal nomination. Barb Nederpel, president of the Kamloops and District Labour Council who works at Royal Inland Hospital’s respiratory-therapy clinic, will represent the NDP in KamloopsNorth Thompson. Former Kamloops and District Labour Council president Peter Kerek is running for the Communist Party of B.C., while Anglican priest Dan Hines will carry the Green banner. The Conservatives have yet to indicate whether they will run candidates in the two Kamloops ridings. Last month, the party returned Dan Brooks to the leadership at its convention in Prince George.

Killer read apology before sentencing From A1
Richmond, while Scotchman and David were also from the Lower Mainland. They were in Kamloops to celebrate the birth of Scotchman’s child, the mother of whom was Tremblay’s cousin. “Because Scotchman was a member of the RA gang and Tremblay was a member of the GTS gang, this caused tension between the two families beyond the gang rivalry,” reads an agreed statement of facts obtained by KTW. Court heard Johnny and other Redd Alert gangsters had been on the lookout for
Lepretre was attacked in broad daylight while playing basketball with his cousin outside Stuart Wood elementary. Johnny and two others — Anthony Scotchman and Chris David — attacked Lepretre, 22, and his cousin, Shaa Tremblay. Johnny, Scotchman and David were members of the Redd Alert street gang, court has heard, while Tremblay was affiliated with the rival Game Tight Soldiers gang. Lepretre lived in

GTS members over a period of days prior to the attack on Lepretre. Text-message conversations obtained by police show Johnny and another Redd Alert member were “hunting” for GTS “faggots.” The attack took place just before 5 p.m. on March 22, 2011. Court heard the three attackers entered the fenced-in Stuart Wood basketball court armed, cornering Lepretre and Tremblay. Scotchman and David took on Tremblay while Johnny attacked Lepretre armed with a knife in each hand,
“punching” the unarmed businessschool graduate with the weapons before mounting him and delivering a fatal stab to his neck. “Mr. Johnny had knives in both hands as he punched Mr. Lepretre,” Dley said in reading his sentence. “He laid on Mr. Lepretre and stabbed him in his neck.” An autopsy showed Lepretre suffered a total of eight stab wounds. His cause of death was blood loss due to a severed carotid artery in his neck. Court heard Johnny

Archie Lepretre doing what he loved — cooking.
Travis Johnny stabbed Archie Lepretre to death on March 22, 2011.
Johnny and Scotchman had been expected to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court on charges of firstdegree murder and committing an offence for a criminal organization. They entered surprise guilty pleas last November, Johnny to second-degree murder and Scotchman to manslaughter, and the Crown is no longer proceeding on the criminalorganization charges.
At a hearing in March, Scotchman was given a seven-year sentence for manslaughter. Johnny has been in custody since December 2013. Scotchman was arrested in early 2014. David was never charged and is believed to be living in Manitoba. Johnny was also ordered to surrender a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

showed no remorse in a text conversation with his then-girlfriend following Lepretre’s murder. “Archie wasn’t even GTS n Shaw [Tremblay] walked away,” the woman texted. “F--k some real down brothers u got.” “Lmao,” Johnny replied. “If u roll it em u go down wit em. It was just a msg to all of them. Lmao.” “Your stupid,” the woman texted back. “Lmao THAT’S how I roll babycakes,” Johnny replied. (LMAO is an acronym commonly used online and in text messages, meaning “laughing my ass off.”) Friends and family of Lepretre could be heard to gasp when the LMAO texts were read in the courtroom. Dley called the LMAO texts “chilling.” Prior to his sentence being handed down, Johnny apologized in court, reading from a written statement, saying he thinks every day about the attack that left Lepretre dead. Johnny also asked for forgiveness from Lepretre’s family. Dley noted the void Lepretre’s death has left in his family, according to victim-impact statements read this week in court. “The loss has left deep and lasting scars,” he said. “Mr. Lepretre was a happy, generous and popular member of his family. Mr. Lepretre had done nothing wrong. He was an innocent victim caught in the tension between rival gangs.”

Drivers waited to leave Revelstoke Tuesday night while RCMP searched for Sheldon Kyle Thunderblanket.
Suspect in shooting of Mountie captured The manhunt for police shooting and murder suspect Sheldon Kyle Thunderblanket in Revelstoke ended yesterday. While police had not commented on whether Thunderblanket was alive or dead by KTW press deadline yesterday, Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee confirmed the suspect was found near Revelstoke and is in police custody. Thunderblanket, 40, was named as a suspect in connection to a shooting Monday night in a home on the Little Pine First Nation, 75 kilometres northwest of North Battleford, Sask. Police found one person dead and other seriously injured. He was also named as a suspect in the shooting of an RCMP officer near Golden on Tuesday afternoon. The female officer was shot in the arm as she approached a stolen vehicle during a traffic stop. The City of Revelstoke issued a release at noon yesterday to note the Mountie has had reconstructive surgery on her hand and arm and is recovering in hospital.

First thing on Tuesday morning, Sheila Langlois received an email from someone who wanted to buy Reggie Nelson a bike lock. Then, just before 10 a.m., a senior came into the Aboriginal Training and Employment Centre (ATEC) on Briar Avenue on the North Shore and left $200 to cover Nelson’s stolen bike.
Since then, many more people have stepped forward to lend a hand, including someone who wished to donate another bike. “Kamloops is generous,” said Langlois, a receptionist at ATEC. Nelson, 21, fell on hard luck last week when his bicycle was stolen in front of the centre while job hunting. He was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at a young age and biking is his primary mode of transportation.
Langlois initially called KTW with the hope some publicity might make a difference for Nelson, who she called a good kid who is working hard. “I was hoping somebody would come up with something for the poor guy,” she said. A story ran in the Oct. 11 edition of KTW and Langlois was surprised how many people wanted to help. “It was an awesome response,” she said. Nelson’s search for work is ongoing.

App should be ready for testing by end of school year From A1
The students using the iPads had a statistically significant advantage over others involved in the study. Bringing more educational games into the classroom seemed like a good idea, Bowden said, but there was a drawback. The apps available for use weren’t very good. “Some were better than others, but it was a real mixture,” he said. “And because they’re commercialized, I don’t know how much educators are involved in putting this stuff together.” There was also a problem of location. Most education gaming apps are designed in the U.S., where the emphasis tends to be on learning specific lists of vocabulary words at each grade level. “We don’t really have that in B.C. or in Canada,” said Tricia Persad, literacy co-ordinator for the Kamloops-Thompson school district. “As teachers, when we identify vocabulary, it would often be very curriculumbased, so around different concepts in social studies and science and so forth.” Again working with TRU — this time focusing on the university’s computerscience department — they set out to build something that would meet the needs of teachers on this side of the border. The app, which should be ready for testing by the end of the school year, will allow teachers to write a series of questions that will be slotted into a game format. The structure of the game is still in the works, but Persad said it could involve students picking a character and buying items using points acquired through correct answers. She hopes students
will be able to customize the appearance of the games, just as teachers can
customize the educational content. Teachers will also be able to track
students’ progress, assign challenges and share questions across the school dis-
trict, Bowden said. “We haven’t seen anything out there that could do that,”
he added. Once the app is complete, Bowden said another research
project will begin, to study its effects on learning in the classroom.

THIS IS THE BEST THEY HAVE?
A
recent internet meme depicting both U.S. presidential candidates with a tag line of “319 million people and we narrowed it down to this?” has us thinking. It would be nice to think that through the various election processes, the best candidate always rises to the top, but that is a pipe dream. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump did not end up in this race because people chose them. Long before the people ever got a chance to have a say, two other factors were at work: money and power. Though his wealth probably isn’t as great as he likes to claim, Trump wouldn’t be in the running without having the money to make an impression and gain a following. As that following grew, other powerful people hitched their wagon to his, helping fill the war chest and increasing his own power. Clinton’s story is pretty much the same — a rich woman with powerful connections. It may not cost as much as a presidential race, but even a municipal election is going to set you back some cash, more if you want to be mayor. It would be nice to say that isn’t the way it works on this side of the border, but ask yourself if Justin Trudeau would be prime minister without his family name, wealth and connections? Some argue that having obtained good financial standing is an indicator of successful decision-making, which makes for a good leader. But leaders also need to have integrity, honesty and an ability to look beyond their personal prejudices. Trump is living proof that you can get rich without having any of these qualities. At any rate, let’s all pledge to sit down and watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and dream of a better world.

Of hope and recovery
T
omorrow marks the last day of Mental Illness Awareness Week. It’s seven days when we’re all supposed to pay attention to the reality of mental illnesses — even though, for too many people, every single day is mental-illness awareness day. The messages linked to this week, according to Louise Bradley, CEO of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, are hope and recovery, something anyone with an illness can appreciate. There’s also a strong focus on the word “illness,” a move designed to — once again — take aim at the stigma attached to the words. That’s not always easy when you have media quick to link many crimes with the fact the perpetrators had a mental illness. You’re not likely to see a positive story on someone with a mental illness who has done something great in this world — unless, of course, the goal is to accomplish just that messaging. The reality is just as people may have physical health or physical illness, we all also have mental health and might have mental illness. Most of us know someone who lives with that particular illness, just as we all know someone who is living with a physical illness. Looking at the definition might help with understanding. In its list of mental-health problems and illnesses the Mental Health Commission of Canada includes substance

LEVEL abuse, deliberate self-injury and disorders including mood, anxiety, psychotic and eating. I’m betting we all know someone who fits into one of those categories. Maybe, like me, you do, too. The commission reports one in five of us has a mental-health problem or illness in any given year. The cost — like the cost of those with physical illnesses that impact our life — is more than $50 billion to the Canadian economy; 500,000 of us in any given week can’t go to work because of our mental illness. One in three of us who has a workplace disability claim links it to mental health or illness issues. Seventy per cent of adults who report a mental health problem say it started in childhood. Perhaps the most disappointing statistic the commission reports is that 60 per cent of us with mental-health issues or illness won’t ask for help because we fear we’ll be labelled. I’ve experienced that. A boss from a long time ago
sent an email to a colleague — an email I saw — advising him to be careful around me because I have a mental-health condition. As he put it, you never know about people like her, who have to take medication for it. Hurtful, yes, but also ignorant. I also had someone quite some time ago take issue with a column I wrote, telling me the only reason I had the opinion I was sharing that day was because I have a mental illness. Again, it hurt, but it told me something about the angry emailer. Here’s my reality: I take a pill every day to control high blood pressure and cholesterol (thanks for those genes, mom), one for neverending and self-imposed allergies (not smart to have a dog and cat when you’re allergic, but I love them) and one to control whatever it is in my brain that, without medication, can lead to extreme mood and energy spikes. That medical condition has never kept me away from work, although pneumonia, the flu and some operations have. In fact, had I chosen to never write or talk about it, I doubt anyone would even suspect. That’s why we need things like this week that is ending. It’s why we need that federal commission leading the way in changing the public conversation. I just wish we didn’t need it to do that. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LET’S ALL CREATE A CULTURE OF LIFE Editor: Choose Life is the positive, peaceful message being shared on Third Avenue downtown outside Sacred Heart Cathedral daily for 40 days. This message is not judgmental or condemning. It encourages all who see it to choose life at all stages. The circus that has evolved at the corner of Columbia Street and Third Avenue in the name of pro-choice has caused confusion for the public. Choosing life is also “a choice,” but the demonstration at the corner is not connected with the prayerful, peaceful message along
Third Avenue of those bearing the signs “Choose Life” and “Life — Beautiful Choice.” I was inspired to write this letter when I attended a celebration of life recently for a young man who died unnecessarily and tragically from fentanyl use. His friends, speaking at the funeral, encouraged each other to make smart choices and choose life. This resonated with me as I reflected on the 40 Days for Life Campaign. All life is precious regardless of where we are at in our journey. Our medical system, which is experiencing financial challenges, is obliged by law to use its funds to provide abortions and assisted
suicide/euthanasia while people with other health-care needs suffer long waits for care. The prayerful message of 40 Days for Life (being held at this time in 24 countries worldwide) encourages us to reflect on the value of life and to turn our hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life. 40 Days for Life is a peaceful and educational presence. Those standing peacefully on Third Avenue are community members praying and bearing witness to the value of life during the 40 Days for Life campaign. Respectfully, choose life Dianne Barker Kamloops
SOMETHING WRONG WITH HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM Editor: First, I want to thank my doctor for the great care we have. I feel so bad that our doctors have to care for up to 2,000 patients. They don’t have to, but they are doing their best. How long do you think this will go on before they burn out and choose retirement for the sake
of their own health? We seem to have all this money to send out of country, but no money for our health care. When I read that Kamloops residents could possibly go to Ashcroft to get a doctor, I thought something is wrong with this picture. Leaving a city to go to the country? Can I write off these expenses? Do out-of-town doctors have
hospital rights? I think it is time Canadians stood up for their rights. I read a lot about what we can be doing for people on drugs and how we are going to spend money on the problem. But it is a choice. Lots of people don’t have a choice; they just want health care. Some drug users have their
needles supplied. I have to buy mine so I can take my prescription drug. Something isn’t right here! What is going on? I want Health Minister Terry Lake to help me out. It didn’t do any good for the bus service in Dallas, but I will keep trying. Yvonne Pasjack Kamloops
EDUCATION MAY BE ANSWER TO ELECTORAL FUTURE Editor: One question arises from the recent article on reforming how we vote. If the referendums have failed, hasn’t the majority spoken? Maybe educating the public about electoral systems is better than overriding the majority? I was impressed by some of the systems and I was a supporter of first past the post. Sean Lane Kamloops

TOM FLETCHER STAFF REPORTER tfletcher@blackpress.ca
The B.C. government is considering legislation to close a loophole that allows landlords to raise rents beyond provincial limits using fixed-term leases. The current law restricts annual rent increases to no more than two per cent plus the rate of inflation, a maximum of 3.7 per cent for increases that take effect in 2017. In tight rental markets, some landlords get around the cap with lease termination clauses that allow them to set rent higher in a new lease, for the existing or a new tenant. In extreme cases, there have been bidding wars for rented as well as purchased homes in Metro Vancouver. LandlordBC, the professional association for owners and managers of rental
housing, says the practice violates its business standards and is confined to “a small cohort” of owners. B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement this week after the latest opposition call for action to protect tenants. Coleman said the province is “looking at options to ensure fixed-term tenancies continue to balance the needs of both tenants and landlords and that parties are acting consistently with the intent of the Residential Tenancy Act around annual allowable rent increases.” Coleman said legislation “will take some time to complete” and in the meantime, parties who have signed a lease are bound by its terms, including termination. NDP Leader John Horgan blasted Coleman for inaction on the situation,
which opposition critics have raised repeatedly as rental housing has become scarcer. “With some unscrupulous landlords, they’re evicting and forcing tenants to sign a one-year lease,” Horgan said. “Mr. Coleman’s fixation on LNG at the expense of addressing issues for renters, I think is the problem.” Horgan said several housing issues could be addressed now if the B.C. Liberals had followed their own schedule and convened a fall sitting of the legislature. Another change the NDP wants is to free universities and colleges to construct new student housing. The rental shortage is so bad that students are “forced to sleep in cars, they’re forced to couch-surf, they’re forced to sleep in academic buildings,” Horgan said.
Toddler dies after eating mushroom A three-year-old boy has died after ingesting a poisonous mushroom in downtown Victoria. The boy was foraging for mushrooms with his family at an undisclosed location in the downtown core last week. After ingesting the mushroom, the toddler was treated at Victoria General Hospital, before he was airlifted to a hospital in Edmonton earlier this week. He died in hospital last night. Specimens collected at the site in which the family was foraging suggests the boy ingested an Amanita phalloides mushroom, also known as the “death cap” mushroom. However, tests are still ongoing. “We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the child’s family,” said Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health. “This tragedy reinforces how important it is for recre-
ational mushroom hunters to know the difference between a poisonous and non-poisonous mushroom. To the untrained eye, it’s easy to mistake a toxic mushroom for an edible one.” This is the first recorded death in the province from a person ingesting a death cap mushroom. Death cap mushrooms are ordinary in appearance. They are mainly white, with a white or yellowish stem, a cap that ranges from yellowish-green to light brown that is round when young and flattens with age. According to Stanwick, they grow in remote settings and are becoming more common in urban areas such as Victoria.

STAFF REPORTER

After two successful years, Interior Community Services (ICS) is doubling the stage time for its annual drag show fundraiser this weekend. Beyond Fabulous — following last year’s Still Fabulous and 2014’s Too Fabulous — will bring back the best queens in Western Canada for performances tomorrow and Saturday at The Rex, 417 Seymour St. “It’s super fun,” said program co-ordinator Laurel Scott. “It’s a little of everything. It’s a real variety show. They sing, there’s jokes, there’s different costumes. The audience gets really involved and it tends to be fairly raucous.” Funds raised will support ICS youth programs in Kamloops, Lillooet and Merritt. The event started three years ago as a fundraiser for Safe Spaces, a support program for LGBTQ+ youth. It has grown into the largest fundraiser for youth related programs run by the non-profit, such as Safe Spaces, Kamloops Youth Shelter, Youth in Care Network, Youth Coaching and Street Youth Outreach. “Our youth services are underfunded,” Scott said, noting fundraising is needed to simply buy a youth clean underwear or deodorant. Scott said relying on government funds is becoming increasingly unrealistic, making fundraisers essential. Many of the programs supported by money raised at the annual drag show focus on ending youth homelessness. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. both nights. A dance will follow Saturday’s show. The event will feature a no-host bar and silent auction. Tickets are $35 for tomorrow’s show, $40 for Saturday’s performance, with dual passes for both nights set at $65. Tickets are available at ICS, 765 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore, or by calling 250-376-3660.
A justice with the Supreme Court of Canada will speak at a public lecture at Thompson Rivers University next week. Justice Russell Brown is a guest of the TRU’s law school. He will give a public lecture on Tuesday at the university’s Ike Barber Centre. Brown, 51, grew up in Burns Lake. He has served as a professor at University of Alberta’s faculty of law and most recently sat on the Alberta Court of Appeal. He was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada last year. Brown is scheduled to speak on the
evolution of common law reasoning — how and why judges make decisions based on the outcome of previous, similar cases. Specifically, Brown will uses the perspective of tort law — rules that govern lawsuits for civil wrongs such as negligence, trespassing or assault — to provide examples. He will spend three days at the university, including lecturing to students and meeting with members of the Kamloops Bar Association. Brown received a bachelor of arts from the University of British Columbia in 1987 and a bachelor of laws from the
University of Victoria in 1994. He received a master of laws in 2003 and a doctor of juridical science in 2006, both from the University of Toronto. He has been married since 1994 to Heidi Brown and they are the parents of two children. Brown is the author of a treatise on claims under negligence law for economic loss, as well as the author or co-author of more than 30 published law review articles, book chapters and review essays on tort law, property law and civil justice. Brown serves on the editorial board of the University of Toronto Law Journal.

Nova Scotia premier taken aback by storm damage ‘I couldn’t believe my eyes,’ Stephen McNeil says after remnants of Hurrican Matthew pound Atlantic Canada and northeast U.S. THE CANADIAN PRESS
SYDNEY, N.S. — Nova Scotia’s premier says he could not believe his eyes when he saw the damage from the powerful storm that pummelled much of Atlantic Canada over the long weekend. “When you see what’s happening, trees being uprooted and taking roads with them, roads being washed out completely, the actual force of that water must be phenomenal,’’ Stephen McNeil said yesterday during a visit to Sydney, the largest community in Cape Breton. Both McNeil and Newfoundland Premier Dwight Ball arranged tours of the areas in their provinces worst hit by the weekend storm, which was associated with the remnants of Hurricane Matthew. The provinces face a costly and lengthy cleanup, as power crews worked to restore electricity and schools remained closed in some areas. Both premiers have spoken to the prime minister about disaster relief. Cecil Clarke, mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, said it is the worst rain-related disaster to hit his community in his lifetime. It has severely damaged dozens of roads, taken out municipal bridges, destroyed parks and caused extensive damage to flooded homes in several communities in the municipality, he said. The water supply has remained intact, but there has been damage to waste water and a major water main break, the mayor said. Three centres have been set up by the Red Cross to provide shelter and food
for residents whose homes are badly damaged. Clarke said the municipality will be applying for disaster relief assistance, and he is confident it has easily reached the minimum $3 million threshold in damage that would qualify it for the relief. He urged citizens to keep receipts and document the damage in order to apply to insurers and disaster relief agencies for assistance in restoring their homes. He said many homeowners don’t have insurance and will be waiting to hear what kind of disaster relief they can receive from the province. “We do not want to have mildew and mould issues going forward — we’re going to undertake a major cleanup to get things out of peoples’ homes as quickly as possible,’’ he said. “We’re mindful there are people without resources, and winter is coming.’’ The Cape Breton-Victoria School Board announced Wednesday that students from Brookland Elementary school in Sydney are being temporarily relocated to another school due to water damage to the building, after the community received more than 200 millimetres of rain. In Newfoundland and Labrador, crews worked to reopen the TransCanada Highway in Terra Nova National Park, where a section of the highway had washed away, cutting off southeastern Newfoundland from the rest of the island. Clarke said the weather is a reminder that climate change is contributing to more intense storms on the East Coast.
Feds pledge $55M over three years on rail safety THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Canada is spending more than $55 million over three years to improve railway safety across the country. Transport Minister Marc Garneau said the money will be used for projects on federal rail property, along rail lines and at crossings. Speaking in Montreal yesterday, he said the federal government is responsible for roughly 23,000 rail crossings in Canada.
Provinces, municipalities and other local authorities will be able to request funding for projects along federal rail infrastructure, starting in 2017. Garneau said individual citizens, indigenous groups and non-profits are also welcome to apply for funding to improve rail safety in communities across Canada. The $55 million is part of a $143-million transportation safety fund the Liberals set aside in the 2016 budget.

Ontario expands anti-opioid strategy with Suboxone KEITH LESLIE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Ontario will expand use of the drug Suboxone as an alternative to methadone to treat people addicted to opioids as part of a new provincial strategy to combat an increasing number of overdoses and deaths. There are an estimated 50,000 addicts currently getting methadone treatment in Ontario, which
saw 700 deaths from opioid overdoses in 2014. Opioid use has become the third leading cause of accidental death in Ontario, ahead of car accidents, said Health Minister Eric Hoskins. He called the situation a “public health crisis,’’ and says family physicians, and eventually nurse practioners, will be able to prescribe Suboxone instead of referring addicts to methadone clinics. “Providing Suboxone
as a first line of treatment within a primary care environment, with that supportive care, is actually going to provide . . . an astronomically better level of care for these individuals than is currently available at freestanding methadone clinics,’’ Hoskins said at Toronto General Hospital. Addiction specialist Dr. Medlon Kahan said having addicts treated by family doctors instead of at a clinic will ensure they get
proper care for all of their issues. “Suboxone can safely be prescribed by family physicians without a special licence or training, and this will greatly expand access to treatment for patients who urgently need it.’’ said Kahan. “It can be prescribed in a variety of settings, in remote, rural regions, in hospitals, in prisons, withdrawal management centres and in shelters and
emergency departments.’’ Hoskins also announced Ontario will make the antidote medication Naloxone available free of charge to treat overdoses, and will give Naloxone kits to “at risk’’ inmates as they are released from provincial jails. “Naloxone is a lifesaving antidote for opioid overdoses that actually reverses the effects of opioids on a person’s body, and can save a person’s life
if they are overdosing,’’ said Hoskins. Ontario also named its chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams, as its first “provincial overdose co-ordinator,’’ and announced a new narcotics monitoring system to let doctors know how much a patient has already been prescribed. Opioid addictions are more common than most people realize, said Williams.

Clement drops out of race for Conservative leadership JOANNA SMITH
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Conservative MP Tony Clement is ending his bid for the leadership of his party, saying he has fallen short of financial and other goals he set when he launched his campaign. “I make this decision not very lightly, of course, but owing to the financial realities it’s very clear that I cannot expose my family to any further financial risk at this time,’’ Clement said yesterday in a video posted to Twitter and Facebook. Clement, who announced his campaign in July, also thanked the “hundreds’’ of Conservatives he said were willing to support him. The Ontario MP and former cabinet minister said he decided to enter the race to replace former prime minister Stephen Harper based on his longtime
experience with the party and a desire to help move it forward. “We ran a campaign based on my ability to be someone who had the experience, as well as the innovative ideas, to do the job of opposition leader and ultimately prime minister,’’ Clement said in his video. “Fortunately, we have other great candidates who have come to the fore and I wish them all the best of success,’’ said Clement. Clement said he would do whatever he can to support interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose and his caucus colleagues throughout the rest of the leadership race and looks forward to playing some other role. “I’ll find another way to both help my party and also our country,’’ he said. This was the second time Clement sought to become leader of the Conservative
party of Canada. He placed third in the 2004 leadership race, behind Harper and Belinda Stronach, after the Progressive Conservatives merged with the Canadian Alliance. Clement, who served in the Progressive Conservative government of former Ontario premier Mike Harris, also lost to Ernie Eves in the 2002 provincial leadership contest. The remaining six candidates in the Conservative leadership race are MPs Maxime Bernier, Andrew Scheer, Kellie Leitch, Michael Chong, Deepak Obhrai and Brad Trost. Others, including MPs Erin O’Toole and Lisa Raitt and former MP Chris Alexander are also expected to join the race. The first leadership debate will take place Nov. 10 in Saskatoon. Conservatives will elect their new leader next May 27.

SASKATOON — A 16-yearold girl has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of a six-week-old boy in Saskatoon. The teen, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, entered the plea during a scheduled court appearance yesterday. Nikosis Jace Cantre was found beaten in his playpen in his family’s home and died in hospital July 3. Justice officials said shortly after the teen’s arrest that she had escaped from a youth

Canada and U.S. keep softwood talks going despite deadline expiry THE CANADIAN PRESS

French PM wants update from Trudeau OTTAWA — Officials say French Prime Minister Manuel Valls is anxious to hear from Justin Trudeau on Canada’s plans for sending peacekeepers to West Africa to join the fight against Islamic militants. Valls is in Canada for a two-day visit where climate change and the free trade agreement with the European Union will be high priorities for his Canadian counterpart. France, however, wants to know more about Canada’s plan to deploy peacekeepers in Mali, the west African country at the epicentre of the rise and spread of extremism across that continent. A French official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the discussions between Canada and France have been progressing well in recent months. Valls and Trudeau will travel to Montreal today for a luncheon hosted by Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard after a morning meeting on Parliament Hill.
Trans Mountain builder fears attacks CALGARY — The president of Kinder Morgan Canada says he expects more attacks by activists if its Trans Mountain oil export pipeline expansion from Edmonton to the West Coast is approved. Ian Anderson said approval could paint a target on the project, resulting in more incidents like attempts Tuesday by protesters to shut down oil export pipelines in the U.S. He told reporters at an energy conference that one of his company’s pipelines in Washington state was targeted, but there was no damage and deliveries were not affected. Earlier at the conference, Alberta Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd condemned the pipeline attacks as “dangerous’’ and beyond the realm of civil disobedience. A federal decision on the $6.8-billion Trans Mountain expansion project is expected in December. Anderson said construction could present a target both for peaceful protesters and those who mean harm. He said the company is studying the protests against the four-state Dakota Access Pipeline, adding that the best strategy to deal with protesters is to communicate fully and as early as possible with those affected.
OTTAWA — The Canadian and U.S. governments said Wednesday they are continuing negotiations to try to reach a new softwood lumber deal despite the expiry of a standstill period that was intended to give both countries time to resolve the trade dispute.

VANCOUVER — A new study released today National by the B.C.-based Fraser Institute suggests 45,619 Canadians went outside the country for non-emergency medical treatment in 2015. The study from the Vancouver-based think tank came out days after U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump took a swipe at the Canadian health care system during a town-hall debate with Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton. Trump said when Canadians need a big operation, they go to the United States because of what he said was a “catastrophic’’ Canadian system in certain ways. The Fraser Institute study did not indicate how many Canadians went to the U.S. for medical treatment, only that they went outside the country. The Republican candidate also accused Clinton of secretly plotting to implement a Canadian-style, single-payer health care — a system he said “would be a disaster’’ if adopted in the United States.
The statement by Canadian Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said officials are meeting in Washington, D.C. “In our effort to reach a new agreement on softwood lumber, we and our officials have been intensively engaged in government-to-government sessions, in meetings
with our respective producers and other stakeholders, and in dialogue with state and provincial governments,’’ the statement said. “The United States and Canadian governments are committed to continuing negotiations in an effort to achieve a durable and equitable solution for North American softwood lum-
ber producers, downstream industries and consumers.’’ A spokesman for Freeland said the government is aware how vital the softwood lumber sector is across the country. “Canada is prepared for any situation, and our government will vigorously defend the interests of Canadian workers and producers,’’ Alex Lawrence said in an email.

THE LAST INTACT SEA DEVON BEYER C GWYNNE DYER
World
WATCH other ocean areas where there has been no major human interference yet, taking a few risks with this one would not be such a big deal. But this is the last one. In the Ross Sea, 1.5-million square kilometres off the Antarctic coast where there has been no pollution and where fishing only began in 1996, the local ecosystem is still more or less intact. That is why there has been a proposal before the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) for the past five years to turn the Ross Sea into a marine protected area (MPA). New Zealand in the closest inhabited land to the Ross Sea and three New Zealand-based fishing companies are taking half the toothfish that are caught there. Yet it was the New Zealand government, in partnership with the United
States, that took the initiative to designate the Ross Sea as an MPA, of which about two-thirds (one million square kilometres) would be a strict no-take area. Twenty-three of the 25 members of the CCAMLR have supported this proposal at each October meeting for the past five years, but the organization only works by consensus. Every member must agree — and China and Russia didn’t. But last October, the Chinese came around and supported the idea and the Russians at least committed to “intersessional discussion” of the proposal. They all know the bigger picture is grim. Nobody takes much consolation from the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) most recent statistics, according to which the total global catch was 86-million tonnes in 1996 and only down to 77-million tonnes in 2010 — an 11 per cent decline in 14 years. The FAO’s statistics are old. If the trend has continued since 2010, then the total global catch is probably down to around 73 million by now. If the only reason the global catch numbers still look fairly good is because the fishing fleets move on to new areas as old stocks become depleted, then we are in for
a big shock when they run out of new areas to exploit. One of the good things about sea creatures, however, is that most of them reproduce very fast. Give them a decade or two without fishing and it’s amazing how quickly they come back. So what marine life really needs is marine protected areas that include 10 to 20 per cent of the oceans’ total area. About two per cent of the world’s oceans is in MPAs, mostly in areas not important to the commercial fishing industry. And only half of that area is strict no-take reserves that can act as nurseries for the recovery of entire damaged ecosystems. Turning the Ross Sea into an MPA won’t reverse all the damage, but it is scientifically very important. It is even more important politically, because international cooperation on this could lead to much broader common action to save the marine biosphere. This year’s CCAMLR meeting opens in Hobart, Tasmania, on Monday. The Russians are not even major players in the Ross Sea fishery, but there is at least a chance they may do the right thing this time. gwynnedyer.com

ommercial fishing for the Antarctic toothfish is permitted in the Ross Sea, provided the biomass of the spawning stock (total weight of all the fertile adult fish) is still at least half of its previous level 35 years later. And at no time in that 35 years will the spawning biomass be allowed to fall below 20 per cent of the preexploitation level. That sounds pretty safe and reasonable. What better guarantee of the future health of the toothfish stock could you ask for? Well, it might help to know where the toothfish actually spawn (but you don’t, not for sure. It’s certainly not the Ross Sea). And it could be handy to know when and how often they go off as adults to spawn because they don’t mature sexually for about 15 years and they can live to be 50. Never mind. We’ll just pick a number for the total allowable catch — say, 3,000 tonnes a year — and we’ll see how it goes. These are big, slowgrowing fish, about two metres long and up to 150 kilograms as adults. So, 3,000 tonnes is about 30,000 individuals. That might be a safe take, but we don’t even know their numbers. If we had a dozen

Fort Berens Estate Winery is a culmination of the dreams, vision and pioneering spirit of several entrepreneurs.

Celebrating Lillooet’s unique history, the winery affixed the name 23 Camels to one of its Merlots. In the 1860s, camels were brought to the area to be used on the Old Cariboo Road to freight goods from Lillooet to Alexandria. Unfortunately, the plan failed, leaving many camels abandoned in the wild. Unconfirmed camel sightings were reported throughout the Cariboo and Central British Columbia for decades. Fort Berens’ winemaking style includes cellaring red wines for one year in French and American oak barrels and then ageing them 12 months in bottles prior to release, producing dry and fruit forward

SUPPORT GROWING FOR REFRIGERATED, OUTDOOR ICE IN KAMLOOPS
MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
P
lans for outdoor, refrigerated ice sheets in Kamloops have often turned to slush, but it appears the latest one is solidifying quickly. Former NHLer Steve Gainey, former Kamloops city councillor Nancy Bepple and pond-hockey connoisseur James Gordon have formed the Kamloops Outdoor Skating and Hockey Association (KOSHA), which has City of Kamloops backing in its quest for ice. “This mixed with something that the city and parks had in mind and it’s something the city could use and wanted,” Gainey said. “We’re starting to see momentum now.” Riverside Park seems to be Option A for location and Gainey would like to see at least one boarded ice rink and a separate skating area built, although two boarded rinks and more skating space would be ideal, he said.
The goal is to have the facility ready for use by winter of 2017-2018. In a KOSHA press release, the group proposes a 2-for-1 system that would see the existing water-park facility transform into an artificially cooled rink during the winter. Gainey said there is technology available that would allow for the creation of rinks and skating space without affecting a park’s appearance when winter ends. “You can lay the surfaces down on top, then roll them up and put them away in summer or install underneath cement,” he said. “We’re not about taking away greenspace. Our goal is not to change the look of the park very much at all.” Byron McCorkell, director of parks, recreation and culture for the city, and Shawn Cook, the city’s parks supervisor, have been supportive of KOSHA’s initiative. “I don’t really want to nail down location because things could change, but yeah, Riverside Park is a great, central location,”
Mathew Ward (from left), brother Sam and their friend Tyler Trudeau did their best Sidney Crosby impressions for KTW photographer Dave Eagles at the outdoor rink in Pineview Valley in January 2015. The puck-loving trio will be able to play outside on a refrigerated sheet of ice next winter, if the Kamloops Outdoor Skating and Hockey Association has its way.
Cook said. “But there are a lot of other locations that could be just as good. It’s too early in the process to pick one.” Gainey had originally proposed building the facility at higher elevation, perhaps at McGowan Park in Upper Sahali, but noted the city suggested Riverside Park would be a better location. McArthur Island is also an option. Previous city conceptualizations at Riverside Park included a 400-metre skating loop and some sort of Crashed Ice course. Nothing has been ruled out at this point, Cook said. And nothing will go ahead without community support, which KOSHA will be seeking on Oct. 22 at Riverside Park, where a ball-hockey event expected to run from noon to 2 p.m. will be used to drum up interest in the facility from Kamloops denizens. “It’s in the parks master plan, so there is an appetite for the city to do something,” Bepple said. “Now I think it’ll be up to the
community to get behind this idea. “If the public wants something, it’ll happen, so it’s an important step forward. We have to provide space for people who want to play hockey and we need recreational ice as well, to accommodate both user groups.” Members of the Kamloops Blazers, Kamloops Storm and TRU WolfPack are expected to be at the event. Taco Del Mar and Tim Hortons will be serving food and drink. Those wishing to play hockey are asked to bring their own sticks. Discussion about constructing a refrigerated outdoor rink in Kamloops goes back at least 20 years, but has intensified over the past decade as warming winter temperatures put a damper on shinny games across the city. Gordon’s master’s thesis focused on pond hockey and climate change and the Canadian father’s response to it. “The writing is on the
wall and you can point a finger at climate change and unreliable weather,” Gordon said. “Volunteer groups get involved and they just get frustrated. One week it’s good and the next week it’s mush and you’re back to Square 1. To be able to have a system that will keep the ice cold is going to make everyone’s life a lot more enjoyable.” Unrefrigerated rinks maintained by individuals and community groups were operational in spurts last winter in Westsyde, Sun Peaks, Juniper Ridge, Heffley Creek, Barnhartvale and Dallas. Sun Peaks will beat Kamloops to the punch this winter, with its iceplant toting refrigerated rink expected to open in November. “I loved the outdoor ice I had growing up in different places like Montreal and Minnesota,” said Gainey, whose father, Bob, is an NHL Hall of Famer. “There was one on every corner. It’s great for the kids and for families to
have that opportunity to get out and do an outdoor activity and the price is right, meaning free.” Cook, Gainey and Gordon refused to estimate cost, saying it’s impossible to do so considering location and plans have not been nailed down. “We don’t like throwing numbers around,” Cook said. “We don’t want to see it die if we give out the wrong numbers. We’ll seek direction from council during the budget process this year. We think it’s a good idea. This event they’re doing brings lots of awareness to it.” City council will soon begin 2017 budget deliberations, with each department bringing forward wish lists for the year. Council will review them and make final decisions on proposals in the spring, before adopting the final budget in April or May. “It’s a wonderful thing to be skating outside,” Bepple said. “It’s a great way to make the winter a better place in Kamloops.”

Lowenberg, Stebbings impress at Ironman worlds ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
HILLSIDE STADIUM
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
SUNDAY
A moment of inattention nearly ended Melissa Lowenberg’s third trip to the Ironman World Championship in 2016. Eight weeks before the annual championship, Lowenberg crashed her bike on an early-morning ride, out training before fellow Kamloopsian Catharine Pendrel raced at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Lowenberg’s sternoclavicular joint — the joint that connects the collarbone to the sternum — was separated in the crash, an injury that put her world championship in doubt. It’s a joint that would be involved in every leg of the Oct. 8 Ironman, which included a 2.4mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile swim in challenging conditions in KailuaKona, Hawaii. “At the time, we really didn’t know if I’d be able to race,” Lowenberg told KTW from Hawaii. “You look so forward and you prepare and you train. And then to have an accident and this big question mark, this huge unknown, if you’d actually be able to do it. It was sort of heartbreaking.” But the 42-year-old staged a comeback, completing the world championship, known colloquially as Kona, in 12:50:39. She was 90th in her 105-person division and 1,798th of 2,316 athletes overall. Though it was a painful day — by the marathon portion of the Ironman, Lowenberg said the race’s first two stages had combined to make her very sore — and a fitful two months of training, she described her third Kona as a valuable race experience. “Not feeling 100 per cent, and the mental challenges leading up to it, I’m really pleased that, despite all those obstacles, I was still able to meet with success

and finish,” she said. “It does mean a lot to me to complete, despite the challenges.” Lowenberg was one of two Kamloops racers at Kona, both trained by Maurice Maher. Maher said Lowenberg’s performance was once of the best of her career because of what she had to battle through, both in the lead up to, and on, race day. “You couldn’t really move that arm,” he said. “It’s a weird joint because the impact load affects running, the static load affects even being on a spin bike and the rotational load affects how you swim. “There was a situation there where the rest of her body was fine, but she couldn’t do anything. It was a really tough couple weeks.” Kate Stebbings, also from Kamloops, put together what Maher called “a beautiful performance” en route to a podium finish in her age group. The 52-year-old was
fifth in the 50-54 division and 1,265th overall, finishing in a time of 11:20:23. Her 3:42:09 marathon time was 10 minutes better than the race with which she qualified for the Boston Marathon and the second fastest run in her age group. “I had no idea that I was in the top five, which is, of course, everyone’s goal,” she said. “To get there, in all honesty, I couldn’t stop smiling. When I found out, I was just randomly wandering around telling people, ‘Guess what I just did?’ It was quite a fun feeling.” Kona 2016 was Stebbings’ second trip to the world championship. She has twice won the Whistler Ironman, but said a podium finish on the weekend was something she wouldn’t have put in her “most secret dreams. “It’s top five in the world championships. It’s something I never thought I’d accomplish,” she said.
In the club
The accomplishments of Lowenberg and Stebbings are two of many strong results to come out of the 2016 season for the Kamloops Triathlon Club (KTC). Kara Wright, the head coach of the newly-formed kids’ club, Thompson Nicola Triathlon (TNT), said increased participation, the success of the mixed-relay indoor triathlon and combining the Kamloops Spring Sprint and Kids of Steel triathlons also stood out. The club also had a number of athletes excel on the national stage. Josh Ogilvie won the junior title in the inaugural Youth and Junior Super Series, while Trevor Laupland finished second in the youth series. Sophie Ogilvie was second in women’s junior action. The KTC will hold its annual general meeting, which will include executive elections and a preview to the 2017 season, at 7 p.m. on Oct. 19 at PDK Cafe.

City of Kamloops City of Kamloops
By Jennie Deneka For many families and individuals new to the idea of seniors care and living support, navigating the vast array of options can be overwhelming. One of the most common questions is whether one is eligible to receive government funding to pay for their care and whether that limits the care options available to them. There are two types of care options: publically subsidized home and community care services, and private pay services. Both provide a range of care and support options for people having difficulty coping with activities of daily living due to health-related problems or a life-threatening illness. Publically subsidized care is accessed through the British Columbia provincial health authorities and are available to seniors who meet eligibility criteria and agree to participate in a formal assessment conducted by the health authority. The assessment determines if an individual’s care needs can be met by the programs offered and, if so, which facilities have space. Although personal preferences are considered, it is the specific care needs
identified by the formal assessment that determine which program is provided and subsidized. Those services are provided by either health authorities or by government-contracted private providers, such as Retirement Concepts. Although some publicly subsidized home and community care services are provided free of charge, for others, the cost is shared between the Ministry of Health and the person receiving services. The amount people are required to pay is called the “client rate.” Your client rate may be based on your income, or set as a fixed rate depending on the home and community care service you receive. If payment of your assessed client rate would cause you or your family serious financial hardship, you may apply to your health authority for a temporary reduction of your client rate. Private pay services are accessed directly by the individual or their family through a private service provider. Individuals can compare services offered by private providers and pick services that best meet their personal needs and preferences. The government does not provide funding either to the individual or the provider.
Unlike a public facility, individuals are able to access more personalized services based on their ability to pay. Across BC, there are residences and facilities that may be just publically funded, just privately funded, or both. Regardless of funding, the Community Care and Assisted Living Act governs all residences and facilities that provide accommodation and services in BC. At Retirement Concepts, we have a variety of services and program options available and provide in either a funded government contracted or private community.

Ladies-only the future for Crown of Curling? ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The 2016 Hub International Crown of Curling may be the last to feature a men’s draw. With the annual Kamloops cashspiel set to get underway tomorrow, Kamloops
Curling Club general manager Rob Nordin said the trend in the men’s game may see organizers re-evaluate how the Crown is operated moving forward. “We have four more ladies’ teams, two less guys’ teams, which is kind of the trend,” Nordin said.
In 2015, the Kamloops cashspiel had 16 men’s and 16 women’s teams. It will go with 14 men’s teams and 20 ladies’ teams in 2016. “The ladies are easier and easier to get, because I think there’s just better parity,” he continued.

No men’s team will represent Kamloops in 2016. “We’re still in that area I think, with the ladies’ teams, you can still put a team together and have an opportunity to win the province. But that’s pretty difficult to do now, with the men’s teams.” It’s not just the Crown that is experiencing problems with registration in the men’s field. Earlier this month, the 2016 Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic, also known as the Vernon cashspiel, had a field of 28 ladies’ rinks, but just eight men’s. Due to its size, the men’s draw didn’t qualify as a points spiel on the Canadian Team Rankings System, used to identify teams that qualify for the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. “We just want to do what’s best for the curlers,” Nordin said. “We’re here to help develop teams to, obviously, make the sport better.” The ladies’ field at the 2016 Crown is a strong one, headlined by three rinks that curling fans in the Tournament Capital will recognize. Corryn Brown will skip a new-look rink, with Marika Van Osch and Dezeray Hawes joining the Kamloops skip and her lead Samantha Fisher. The rink, which formerly included third Erin Pincott and second Sydney Fraser, has added the two outof-town talents in order to make a final run at a Canadian junior title. “We definitely had a good weekend in Vernon,” Brown said. The rink lost in a quarter-final at the event. “Our team is defi-

nitely doing better and getting better team dynamics. We’re really looking forward to Kamloops. Our team last year performed really well in Kamloops, so we’re hoping we can build on that success.” Pincott will play second this season for the Karla Thompson rink, the defending provincial champions, who will also be at the Crown. The team also includes third Kristen Recksiedler and lead Trysta Vandale. The local contingent will be rounded out by the Russett rink, which includes skip Amanda
Russett, third Tiffany Olsen, second Kelsey Redan and lead Ashley Nordin. Nine international teams will play on the ladies’ side, with rinks from Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Sweden and the United States making the trip to the Tournament Capital. The men’s side includes four international teams — from Korea, Chinese Taipai and the United States. Defending ladies’ champion Un Chi Gim of Korea will be in town, as will defending men’s champion Sean Geall of Kelowna.

Jays bring depth with rotation GREGORY STRONG
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — When it comes to Toronto’s starting rotation, it’s an embarrassment of riches for Blue Jays’ manager John Gibbons. Proven playoff performer Marco Estrada will start the opener of the American League Championship Series tomorrow in Cleveland. The rest of the rotation includes 20-game winner J.A. Happ, league earned-run average leader Aaron Sanchez and wild-card game winner Marcus Stroman. That’s one of the deepest four-man crews in the major leagues and gives Toronto a distinct edge over the Indians, who are missing starters Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar due to injury. The off-days that came after Toronto
needed only three games to win the AL Division Series has allowed the Blue Jays to set their rotation as they wish rather than be forced into maintaining a regular routine. Stroman has had the most rest and will be a good bet to go in Game 2 on Saturday. Estrada, meanwhile, was dominant in a 10-1 rout of Texas in the ALDS opener last week. His change-up regularly handcuffed the Rangers throughout the 8 1/3-inning performance. “All I know is you look back at the last couple years at how good Marco has been for us in big games for
us,’’ Gibbons said. “Playoff games and two straight years of regular-season games. And he’s one guy too that probably needs more than anybody to keep on a (schedule that’s as) close to normal as possible.’’ The Blue Jays have some options to consider before setting their ALCS roster. Once the status of Francisco Liriano is firmed up, they’ll likely be in a position to make some decisions. Liriano suffered a concussion last week but said Tuesday he feels much better and is hopeful to be ready for the ALCS. He has to complete Major League Baseball’s seven-day concussion protocol and could return as early as Saturday. Liriano was strong down the stretch and would give the Blue Jays another lefthanded option out of the bullpen. He could
also be used in a short or long relief spots as needed. Second baseman Devon Travis said his sore right knee is feeling better and he expects to be ready for Game 1. The Blue Jays could elect to drop a pitcher and perhaps add a backup player in Ryan Goins or Dalton Pompey. The Indians, meanwhile, are also enjoying a break before the start of the best-of-seven ALCS. They completed a three-game sweep of Boston in the other ALDS on Monday night. “It’s really probably the most balanced team in the American League that I can think of and they have good team speed so they can manufacture (runs),’’ Gibbons said. Cleveland edged Toronto 4-3 in the regular-season series. These teams are evenly matched

and well rested. “Nobody really knows how off-days and things like that and teams playing at the end really affects what actually happens,’’ Gibbons said. “I do think it might have helped us at the end when we got in, that wild card, playing right up to the end, that might have been of benefit to us.”

THE GREAT ONE IS BACK IN EDMONTON Wayne Gretzky named partner and vice-chairman of Oilers Entertainment Group
DEAN BENNETT
THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Wayne Gretzky has returned to the Edmonton Oilers. The Great One has been named partner and vice-chairman of Oilers Entertainment Group. The Oilers made the announcement yesterday at an unveiling of the refurbished iconic Gretzky statue at the team’s new downtown arena, Rogers Place. “I’m privileged and proud to be back as an Oiler,’’ Gretzky told reporters. He said the decision followed discussions with his family and Oilers’ owner Daryl Katz. “We felt that this was a really great opportunity for me to get back into the game and to have
the chance to do what we all want to do — win a Stanley Cup,” he said. Gretzky spent much of his Hall of Fame career in Edmonton, leading the Oilers to four Stanley Cup titles in the 1980s. The NHL’s all-time leading scorer hasn’t held an official job in a league front office since he was part-owner, coach and head of hockey operations with the Phoenix Coyotes. He left the team in 2009. Gretzky said he made a decision at that time to step back from the league, but is now ready to get involved again. “I love the game. I want to be part of the National Hockey League. “Everything I have in my life is because of the NHL and I’m
thrilled to be back,’’ he said. The details of Gretzky’s role have not been finalized. “This is all sort of happened pretty quickly,’’ he said. “We’ll figure that out as we go along.’’ Katz said he will work with Gretzky and CEO Bob Nicholson overseeing the business of the Oilers Entertainment Group, but stressed day to day management of the team won’t change. “This is [general manager] Peter Chiarelli’s team and he calls the shots,’’ Katz said. Last month, the NHL announced Gretzky would be its “ambassador’’ for next year’s centennial festivities, which will include outdoor games in Winnipeg and St. Louis. Gretzky said he doesn’t see a
problem doing both. “I was going to do those events anyway,’’ he said. “It really doesn’t have an affect on that whatsoever.’’ The move comes as the Oilers open the 2016-2017 season filled with optimism. In addition to a new downtown arena, they have recently named teen phenom Connor McDavid captain and revamped the roster in the off-season. The Oilers were hockey’s dominant team in the 1980s, but have since fallen on hard times. They have missed the playoffs for 10 consecutive seasons, tying a dubious NHL record set by the Florida Panthers. Gretzky said management and personnel changes have him optimistic.
“It’s a machine that is heading in the right direction,’’ he said. The statue unveiling was of a nine-foot, two-inch bronze replica of Gretzky in an Oiler jersey holding aloft the Stanley Cup. It was erected outside the Oilers’ old arena, Rexall Place, in 1989, a year after he was traded from the Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings. Gretzky, his family and Oiler greats Mark Messier, Grant Fuhr, Glenn Anderson, Paul Coffey and Jari Kurri were on hand for the statue unveiling and for the opening of a new Oilers Hall of Fame Room in the new arena. The Oilers officially launched the era of Rogers Centre last night by hosting their season opener against traditional rival Calgary Flames.
Eskimos, coach fined refusing to wear mics BILL BEACON0
THE CANADIAN PRESS
The Edmonton Eskimos were fined $20,000 and head coach Jason Maas was fined $15,000 for refusing to wear live microphones during a game in Montreal, the Canadian Football League announced yesterday. The head coaches and quarterbacks of both clubs were mandated to wear microphones for television during Edmonton’s 40-20 victory over the Alouettes on Monday, but Maas and quarterback Mike Reilly refused to put them on. No penalty was assessed against Reilly. Commissioner Jeffrey Orrige said that if
Maas refuses to wear a mic when asked to in any future game, he will receive the maximum fine allowable and be suspended one game. Eskimos’ president and CEO Len Rhodes said his club accepts the league’s decision. “Last Monday, our football club failed to honour the commitment we had previously made to the league to follow through on the live mic broadcast,’’ Rhodes said in a statement. “By failing to act on our commitment, we let our peers down across the league. Orrige’s strongly worded statement called the incident “a direct contravention of a directive from this league’s board of governors, a motion that was supported by all nine clubs.
“It was unfair to our fans, who had been promised a live mic game, to our broadcast partner, who had advertised a live mic game, and to the other clubs in the league who had abided by the board’s directive to participate in live mic games. It was totally unacceptable,” Orrige said. He held Maas personally accountable. “The fact that coach Maas has expressed no remorse whatsoever for what appears to be a unilateral and planned act of defiance is particularly disappointing,’’ Orrige said. “I want to send a clear signal that this cannot happen again.’’ Maas and Reilly said after the game they elected not to be mic’d up because it made
them uncomfortable and they didn’t want any distractions during a game they needed to win to help improve their playoff position. Both said they were prepared to live with any league discipline it incurred. “They can’t hold a gun to your head to make you do it, so we just decided not to do it,’’ Maas said after the game. “It’s what’s right for our football club, not what’s right for the other people, that’s the bottom line. “We just decided between Mike and I not to do it and we’ll live with the consequences.’’ Montreal coach Jacques Chapdelaine said the Eskimos refusal to wear mics gave them an unfair advantage.

Obituaries & In Memoriam George (Kent) Burry My most loved husband and dear friend Kent passed away suddenly in his sleep on Thursday, October 6, 2016 after declining health. Left to mourn him immensely is his wife of 43 years Donna, daughter Theresa (Frank) Tourand, grandsons Tristen and Carter, his son Darren (Emma) and grandson Declin. Also his close family of sister Sylvia (Roy), brother Tom (Marion), brother Peter and many nephews, nieces and a sister-in-law Carol (Chuck) Gage all in the Vancouver area. Kent was born in Vancouver on May 29, 1942 and lovingly raised by Jack and Elizabeth Burry. He was always active in sports when younger, snow and water skiing, motorcycling, and mountain biking, hiking, walking, canoeing and boating in later years. He had owned fishing boats, ski boats and large cabin cruisers over the years and spent many happy times boating and fishing on the Shuswap and lakes throughout BC. As a family, we had many great holidays on Gabriola Island, RVing, boating and fishing. Ken enjoyed carpentry, reading and watching sports. A former Kinsmen and Rotarian he was very involved in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. Kent worked for IBM for many years and then had two small businesses in town that were Advance Typewriter Sales & Service Ltd. and a Bldg Maintenance Company. He loved Darren and Theresa and his three grandsons so very much and was so proud of their accomplishments and enjoyed much time with them all. Kent loved to travel and spent winters in Arizona and California with his wife and they shared many cruises together the last twelve years. He will be remembered most for his joy of life, sense of adventure, love of nature and his deep sense of caring for his family and many friends. Rest in Peace my loving husband and wonderful father and Poppa! Special thanks to Dr. Stefanyk, Dr. Steyne, their nurses and the R.I.H. Cancer Clinic, your care was outstanding! A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 14th, 2016 at 2:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops.
David Robin Lee Landstad February, 19 1934 - September 28, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Robin Lee Landstad. Born on February 19th, 1934 on a farm near Rama, Saskatchewan. Deceased on September 28th, 2016 at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, Kamloops, BC. He is survived by his loving children Lorelee (Randy Ruygrok) and Todd (Laura). His granddaughters Nadia (Paul Davis), Alayna (Jesse Steele), Elizabeth and Lindsay and his greatgranddaughter Mariah. He will also be deeply missed by his dear friend, Barbara “Bunny” Chudyk. He was born to Andrew and Beatrice Landstad. They immigrated to Canada from Norway. Dad was fiercely proud of his Norwegian Heritage. David was the fourth oldest of five children. He had one sister Muriel and three brothers Alden “Bud”, Carroll “Colly” and Jerome “Jerry” and who have all passed away. He married Yvonne “Bonnie” Landstad on June 30th, 1958 (deceased from A.L.S. October 2006). They had four children – Lorelee (married to Randy and lives in Kamloops), Lorraine (deceased June 1961 at one month old), Christopher (deceased June 2011 from Leukemia) and Todd (married to Laura and lives in Redmond, Washington). David will be remembered by sisters-in-law and brotherin-law - Lila Landstad, Gwen Ellingson, Joyce and Hugh Calder as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. David was a logger for most of his life – He built logging roads and was really good at it. Before logging he ran
heavy equipment such as draglines and cranes. He was also called on to fight forest fires. Gardening was a huge passion of Dave’s. His yard always looked like another room of the house. His favourite flowers were Rhododendrons and Clematis. Sports were Dave’s favourite, especially watching baseball and hockey. He played slow pitch and was the pitcher. His first team was the Balco Bushwhackers. He played slow pitch into his mid-70’s. He was an avid skier, both downhill and cross-country. He built many of the original ski runs at Tod Mountain (now Sun Peaks). Golf was also a passion of dads. Dave and Bonnie loved to travel. They saw many countries in the world before she passed away. A few years after Bonnie passed away, Dave met a lovely lady, Barbara “Bunny” Chudyk. They loved to travel to Yuma, Arizona for the winters. However, due to his diagnosis with Alzheimer/Dementia they had to stop travelling. Bunny took good care of Dave before he moved into a full care facility. We would like to thank all of the caregivers, nurses and doctors that took such good care of Dave. Ridgeview Lodge, Royal Inland Hospital – Especially the staff of 6 South and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. In lieu of flowers, you can make a donation to the Alzheimer Society of BC, PO Box 277, Station M, Kamloops, BC V2C 5K6 or the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9. We will hold a Celebration of Life for Dave on Saturday, October 15th, 2016 from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm at the home of Lorelee and Randy Ruygrok, 2475 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC (250) 314-7343– come out and share your stories and memories of Dave.

Maria (Mary) Frasca June 1, 1934 – October 11, 2016 On October 11, 2016 in the early morning hours at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, Mary passed away peacefully in her sleep with her children by her side.
In Loving Memory of Beau M. Mayes May 22, 1982 - October 13, 2013
Mary was born in Rogliano, Cosenza, Italy on June 1, 1934 and immigrated to Canada on June 3, 1953 at the age of 19 along with her mother Erfida and younger brother Mike where they joined brothers Paul and Tony in Thunder Bay, Ontario. There Mary met Perry and they married in 1958. They moved to British Columbia in 1964 and eventually settled in Kamloops. Mary was a devoted wife and loving mother to her four children.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Thelma Hansen
In Loving Memory of Peter Braun
October 11, 1923 – October 3, 2016
December 10, 1956 – September 28, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend. Our hearts are broken knowing that you are gone and we will miss you more than words can say. Peter Braun passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 28, 2016 after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer. Left behind is his wife of 32 years Doris, his daughter Michelle and her husband Phillip, his son Peter Jr. and his wife Michelle along with his granddaughter Hayleigh, also his two sisters Anna and her husband Werner, Helen and her husband George along with their families. Peter was predeceased by his parents Ernst and Maria and his two brothers John and Henry. Peter was born in Paraquay on December 10, 1951 and immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba with his parents and siblings in 1960. Peter attended Schoenhurst Elementary for two years. With no work available, Ernst once again moved his family, this time to Vancouver, BC in February 1962. Peter attended John Oliver Secondary School, and then decided to not finish school and instead get a job at Auto Marine Electric, where he worked for the next 16 years. This is also where he met the love of his life Doris. Peter worked for CN for 30 years until March 2016 when his health started failing him. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. In July, Peter found out the cancer had spread. He was admitted to hospital in September and never came out. We will miss him forever but it helps knowing he is no longer in pain and looking down on us from Heaven. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Dunes on Sunday, October 16, 2016 at 1:00 pm.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Thelma Elizabeth Hansen. Thelma died peacefully with loved ones by her side just shy of her 93rd birthday. Thelma is survived by her loving children Donna (Russ) Bryson, Barry (Sylvia) Hansen, Sharen Smith, Denise Hansen and Joanne (Dave) Dinwoodie. She is also survived by her grandchildren Curtis and Tylor Bryson, Trina Harmon, Cher-Lynn Sanderson, Ryan and Jamie Worthing, Aaron Smith, Tristan Hansen and great-grandchildren Alexandra, Rollin and Zak Sanderson, Jacob and Emily Harmon, Kaitlynn and Sydney Bryson and Gabriel and Finnley and Ryleigh Worthing. Thelma is also survived by her sister Elsie “Auntie” Hanson and half-sister Yvonne Mostyn along with many other family and friends. Thelma was predeceased by her brothers William “Bill”, Ken and Donald Brown. Born in Theodore, Saskatchewan, Thelma embodied the strength, endurance and resilience that women of her generation have. Standing barely over five-feet tall and weighing less than a hundred pounds soaking wet, Thelma was a remarkable woman. Family was always the most important thing and this was exemplified throughout her life. At an early age her strength was tested when she lost her mother and along with her sister became the caretakers of the family and household.
When her father remarried and they had a child, Thelma and Elsie also took care of their new sister. In her twenties, Thelma married and began her family. After several years, with children in tow, Thelma moved to Kamloops where her brother Don was. Through circumstances she found herself raising her children on her own at a time when there were few resources, if any. However, this did not deter her spirit and Thelma tirelessly worked multiple jobs, doing whatever she had to do to provide for her family. Her primary job at Tranquille Hospital, required her to move patients twice her size and body weight without the benefit of lifts regulated in these type of jobs today. Along the way Thelma enjoyed her many hobbies. She loved to read, bake, garden, sew, knit and complete needlework while Judge Judy was on TV and the Police Scanner chattered in the background. In the summer months, Thelma would sit on her deck watching her pristine garden of perennials bloom with the season. At Christmas time, Thelma would set up her Victorian houses and light up the windows with Santa faces and candy wreaths that delighted many a grandchild. Holiday dinners became a staple in her home where everyone came to her place, found a spot and shared dinner.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are,
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
We remember Thelma knowing that she loved and was loved in return. She will be missed.
It’s when things seem worst that
It may be near when it seems so far,
You must not quit! 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops

A Vanished Friend
JOHN RICHARD NICHOLSON September 18, 1934 August 28, 2016 We regret to announce the passing of John Richard Nicholson, age 81, on August 28 2016 in Kamloops, B.C. Although he battled skin cancer for over 30 years, his passing was of natural causes. John is predeceased by his sister Betty, son John (Jackie), father Alex, mother Rose and brother Bert. He leaves behind his son James Alexander Nicholson, wife Daphne and grandchildren Colleen, Timothy(Tanya) and Cynthia. His daughter Joanne Rose Penner, husband Pete , grandchildren Dustan(Amber), Benjamin and Calvin(Kayla). Great granddaughters Avalyn and Gemma Penner. John was born in Vanderhoof and raised on the family farm in Prairiedale. He attended school in Vanderhoof and enlisted at an early age in the Canadian Airforce. John made a career as a successful heavy equipment operator and was a proud member of Local 115 of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) since 1964. His work took him to some of the major industrial projects throughout British Columbia; from large transmission line projects, to many of the roads you drive on today; including the Coquihalla and Little Fort highways. John was a proud Canadian, a loyal member of Royal Canadian Legion, who loved to fly the Canadian Flag at his residence. John retired early, at the age of 50 and “never regretted his decision”.

During retirement years, one would find Thelma happily ensconced in her swivel rocker producing beautiful needlework that would later be gifted to family and friends. Even in her last months, Thelma was still producing her special little angel dolls.

Never Quit
by Anders Lim
i th id In iis retirement he set up a fformidable wood working hobby shop at his home, where he turned out numerous treasures for his family and friends, including wooden bowls, benches, shelves and signature signs. John enjoyed travelling outside the country, his favourite hot spot being Hawaii. He enjoyed attending Blue Grass festivals and listening to the “old time” county music, which he loved. He was known for being meticulous with his yard and possessions, particularly his 5th wheel and his beloved Ford Truck. He also loved to “treasure hunt” with his sophisticated metal detector. John was fascinated and frustrated by his new found love of the computer, which allowed him to stay connected with family and friends through daily e-mails and joke passing. To honour his wishes there will be no service.
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!

YEARS OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
n the 1930s, hiking Mt. Baldy was a different experience. The trip took weeks instead of days, being that some roads had yet to be developed. Synthetic, lightweight fabrics weren’t around and neither was bear spray. “I think there’s two rifles in there,” said Al Michel, alluding to a photo of the Kamloops Outdoors Group circa 1939. “That would have been standard equipment in those days for bear protection.” Bears are still around, but there’s a lot more knowledge of the bruins, so guns are no longer a hiking staple. Plenty of other advancements have changed human interactions with the great outdoors. The Kamloops Outdoor Club is celebrating 80 years and KTW recently met with them to talk then and now. Michel has been a member for about 20 years, joining with his wife on recommendation from friends. He’s since met many more people with common interests through the club and got involved at an administrative level. The club was founded in 1936 to promote interest in the outdoors. Fluctuating from 75 to 125 members, leaders organize summer and winter-related activities such as hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, crosscountry skiing and snowshoeing. “The name says it all,” Michel said. Weekly activities are held at established areas like Stake Lake but also off the beaten track. For Michel, bigger trips are a highlight. They are convenient because they’re fully co-ordinated, so members don’t have to worry about details like booking a campsite. In recent years, the club travelled to Mt. Baker, North Cascades and Mt. St. Helens. “These are outstanding trips,” Michel said, “what I would basically put in the category of world-class.” While mostly play, the club also maintains ungroomed cross-country trails near Sun Peaks. It partnered with the resort in the early 1990s to

develop the backcountry. The club held its first seasonal work party in recent weeks and expects members to lend a hand. It also held its fall planning meeting and AGM. The group tries to maintain a membership of about 100 people. Michel said having a cap encourages camaraderie among smaller groups. At about 75, Michel said numbers might be the lowest ever. One reason might be The Kamloops Hiking Club, which formed a few years ago and dips into the membership pool. That club differs because it allows dogs to tag along. Dogs can lead to problems, Michel said, like drawing in bears or causing accidents when they run off and get stuck. “We don’t turn away families by any means, but most young families do have a dog,” Michel said. Because of that, the Outdoor Club tends to attract an older demographic compared to the Hiking Club, which consists largely of millennials and generation Xers “We’re, I don’t know what they call us,” Michel said. “Ancient.” With age, however, comes wisdom — and looking back to that Mt. Baldy photo, Michel wouldn’t want to make the trek with their equipment. “We got it soft compared to those guys,” he said. The club is accepting new members ages 18 and older. Those interested can join two outings to see whether the club is a fit. Annual fees are $30. For more information, go online to kamloopsoutdoorclub.ca.
Take a close look at these two photos of the Kamloops Outdoor Club hiking Mount Baldy, near Barriere. The first (above) was taken in the 1930s, when members brought rifles with their camping gear for protection from bears. The club recently recreated the photo (below). The tree grew significantly 80 years later.

OUT OF THE COLD AND INTO A CONCERT DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Gail Ovington doesn’t volunteer with the Out of the Cold program. The musician’s life is busy as she travels between Kamloops and Vancouver to regale audiences as she plays the pipe organ. Ovington spends a lot of time in churches that house such instruments, including here in Kamloops at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue. The church is also home to the city’s Out of the Cold shelter program, which offers refuge to the homeless. Ovington wants to help the winter-season program and she’s turned to that which she knows best — music — inviting several other performers to join her for an evening designed to raise money for the shelter program. On Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m., the Pokotillo Ukrainian Dancers, the 60-voice Kamloops Choristers, percussionist Rob Gretsinger,
musical-theatre performer Rachel Casponi, an ensemble headed by Norris Berg and saxophonist Carmen Ranta will join Ovington for a benefit concert. Bud Forbes, who heads up the team of volunteers who run Out of the Cold, has been asked to tell some stories from past years. Admission is by donation. Ovington has been in the church during times when the program is active and said she’s most struck by the fact the clients get dinner and breakfast and nobody is turned away. Sometimes, that means people are sleeping on chairs in the pews when the beds are filled. “It’s overwhelming, the work they do,” Ovington said. Out of the Cold has grown through the years. It was created to provide hot meals, toiletries, clothing and a warm bed overnight for the city’s homeless in times of extreme cold. It used to receive funding from the provincial government through B.C. Housing, but in 2014 those dollars were redirected to
Emerald Centre, another shelter in the city. Last year, the program received funding from the Stollery Foundation, 100 Women Who Care and a federal government grant. Forbes said he budgets a year in advance so money raised is being used for this year’s program. He praised Kamloops as a caring community that has donated to Out of the Cold again this year to the point he’s not concerned about the finances for 2017. “This community is absolutely awesome,” Forbes said. Out of the Cold is open every Wednesday and Sunday from Nov. 2 to the end of March. There are three shifts each night; the 6 p.m. shift requires five volunteers, three to prepare meals and two to help set up beds. The 9 p.m. to midnight shift needs two people to be on hand and the midnight to 6:30 a.m. shift — the hardest to staff — needs one person. Each shift has a paid captain who deals with issues that arise. To volunteer, call 250-318-0236. There is also a volunteer orientation night this Monday at the church.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Burrowing Owl Society are calling on volunteers who like to get their hands dirty to help build homes for burrowing owls. A special burrow-building event is planned for Saturday at the Napier Lake Ranch Conservation Area, south of Kamloops along Highway 5A. People of all ages are welcome to help install 24 burrows in preparation for owls being released on the site. This is the first burrowing reintroduction project on the Napier Lake Ranch Conservation Area. Burrowing owls, who nest in the ground, became extirpated (locally extinct) in B.C. in the 1970s. Thanks to the combined efforts of reintroduction programs and habitat-conservation projects, the birds are making a comeback in the grasslands. The Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Napier Lake Ranch Conservation Area is a mosaic of native grassland habitats. Located along a flyway for many bird species, Napier Lake Ranch occupies an important transition zone from grasslands to Douglas-fir forests. The variety of habitats makes it an ideal corridor for animals who migrate to different areas between summer and winter, such as burrowing owl. Napier is also home to cows, grouse, birds of prey and other wildlife. Saturday’s burrow-building event begins at 9:30 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m. Participants should bring lunch and water, weather-appropriate layers of clothing that can get dirty and gardening gloves if possible. Tools will be provided. To register and for more information, go online to events.natureconservancy.ca, email bc@conservationvolunteers.ca or call 1-888-404-8428.

YMCA’s Power of Being a Girl Conference full “
It’s definitely important to create a space where the girls can feel open about asking questions and learn about themselves and feel empowered in a safe space.

STAFF REPORTER
jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Power of Being a Girl Conference is yet again a sold-out event. The annual fall conference, taking place on Oct. 19 at the Tournament Capital Centre, rarely fails to attract the maximum 135 participants. Spaces filled up this week for the one-day YMCA-YWCA event for girls aged 12 to 14 that explores the challenges of growing up, said event co-ordinator Hope Mikal.

Rayleigh elementary leadership students Khaiya Godin (left) Rylee Hodgson and Paige Jacobsen take part in the Y-Strong Kids campaign kick-off breakfast. The annual fundraiser raises money for the Power of Being a Girl Conference.
The conference, now in its 11th year, was
developed as a part of the national YWCA’s
violence prevention initiatives and coincides with the YWCA Canada’s Week Without Violence, happening this year from Oct. 17 to Oct. 23. The local branch was given free reign to create a specialized event for young girls, keeping in mind themes of self-esteem, healthy relationships, discrimination and body image. The conference is
free for every participant and made possible by funds raised through the YMCA-YWCA’s annual Strong Kids Campaign and community support. “It’s definitely important to create a space where the girls can feel open about asking questions and learn about themselves and feel empowered in a safe space. I think that’s the most important thing,” Mikal said. “We try really hard to make sure all the volunteers all the workshop facilitators are all female so that the entire day is just about creating this awesome
experience for the girls, and I think it’s really unique and something that isn’t happening all the time.” The program is developed by girls for girls. Every spring, the Y runs a six-week planning session during which pre-teen girls share what is important to them and what is happening in their lives. This year, the girls expressed a desire to explore strategies for combating peer pressure, Mikal said. The new Empowered Girl workshop will use theatre games to identify decision-making
strategies in the face of social pressures. Other workshops include Conscious Girl, a media-busting session exploring how media influences selfperception; Unique Girl, an individuality workshop exploring identity and self awareness; Dynamic Girl, a movement workshop where girls will participate in an adaptive sports session; and Inspired Girl, an art workshop exploring future dreams and opportunities. Participants choose two workshops in which to participate. The equivalent Strength in Being a Boy Conference is new this year, happening April 26, 2017. Planning sessions for the first annual conference are running Oct. 27 to Dec. 1, Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. To register, call 250372-7725. Registration code is 13252.

Fiat Chrysler, Unifor reach tentative $554M agreement TORONTO — Unifor says Fiat Chrysler committed to invest $554 million at its Ontario plants in addition to increasing wages and benefits for the union’s members in line with a pattern established at General Motors. Unifor president Jerry Dias announced a tentative four-year deal with Fiat Chrysler minutes before a strike
deadline Monday night. He said the deal, which followed what he called “one very difficult set of negotiations,’’ mirrors the one reached with General Motors on Sept. 20. That deal, since ratified by GM workers, includes a two per cent wage increase this year and another two per cent increase in September 2019.
There is also a $6,000 signing bonus plus lump-sum bonuses of $2,000 in each of the next three years. The agreement includes a $325 million investment at an assembly plant in Brampton, Ont., and a pledge to upgrade an old paint shop at the facility. “We were deeply concerned with the fact that the paint shop in
our Brampton assembly plant that builds the 300s, the Chargers and the Challengers is over 30 years old,’’ said Dias. “If you don’t have a paint shop . . . it creates incredible uncertainty.’’ Dias announced Fiat Chrysler has committed to make a plug-in hybrid vehicle in Windsor. Unifor spokeswoman Denise Hammond said it will be the Pacifica
hybrid that was displayed at the Detroit auto show in January. The agreement also includes a measure to protect jobs at the automaker’s casting plant in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke that are threatened by the company’s discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 and the Dodge Dart. “That decision will lead, candidly, to the
layoff of up to about 150, potentially 200 of our members,’’ Dias said. “So what we have found is a solution to make sure that our members will not be laid off and will have employment opportunities in the Brampton assembly plant.’’ Dias said the automaker has committed to upgrades at the casting
plant “to refurbish, to rebuild, to update the machinery, the equipment in order that we are prepared to solidify our strength as a diecast operation.’’ Fiat Chrysler employs 9,750 workers in Brampton, Windsor and Etobicoke. A vote on the tentative agreement will be held this Sunday. — The Canadian Press

DRIVE WAY
Pathfinder ready for new era of trucks 2017 mid-sized SUV comes with improved towing capacity, power boost, steering WADE OZEROFF
DRIVEWAY CANADA

S
porting refreshed, updated looks and the three rows of seats required to compete against other midsize SUVs in the segment, Nissan’s Pathfinder heads into 2017 with a host of tweaks and improvements to its fourth generation. The vehicle didn’t get the major overhaul its big sibling Armada did, but the new hood and bumper distinguish it from last year’s Pathfinder (along with the grille, the so-named ‘V Motion’ design we are seeing on all the company’s new products). Naturally, any carmaker wanting to hold its own among the stiff competition in this class must continually up their game (no small challenge when you’re up against Highlander, Santa Fe and Pilot), and Nissan has brought a convincing cavalcade of tech and packaging to the fray. The company is proud of the Pathfinder’s improved towing capacity, for example, having upped the maximum to 6,000 lbs (from 5,000 previously) and the power boost (284 horses, 259 lb.-ft. of torque) from the latest 3.5 litre V6 under the new hood. We’re driving a couple of models (a top-line Platinum trim and the one-notch down SL) around the California hill coun-
The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder (above) breaks down into four trims, all of which include a 3.5L six-cylinder engine and choice of two- or four-wheel drive.
try, where Nissan has headquartered for the launch of the vehicle, getting a feel for the ride and a small taste of the Pathfinder’s off-road abilities. Incidentally, there is a major fire raging not far away from here. Over the hills east of Carmel, the air is full of smoke and the highways full of trucks transporting firefighters inland. The interior of these upper-trim models is stately, upholstered in leather and comfortable — particularly in the fully adjustable driver’s seat. But the second row isn’t bad in terms
of roominess and the company claims access to the third row has been improved — with an interface and control layout easy to get used to and navigate. The info display atop the centre stack is new for 2017, with a touchscreen that responds to pinching and zooming in the manner of a tablet or smartphone (a feature we first saw on the redesigned Murano last year). It excels as a highway traveller, the acceleration quick and smooth (which is as much a credit to the latest CVT transmission employed in the
Pathfinder), its road manners helped by a stiffened suspension that keeps body roll from intruding into the experience. The steering has been improved with quicker response and tightened-up feel and, while it feels good, I must say I never found the steering in the ‘old’ Pathfinder objectionable. As you might imagine, available high-tech driving aids abound; from intelligent cruise control to forward emergency braking that will actively intervene if the onboard sensors decide the situation
demands it. The Pathfinder has some off-road chops as well. It may not be the prime consideration of people shopping this type of vehicle, but the 4WD models can take it off the pavement and mount some formidable hills and trails if the situation demands. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t the scrambler that, say, the latest Titan is. But the on-demand four-wheel drive (with ‘lock’ and ‘auto’ modes and hill-descent control) lend confidence to the experience. The fact is, there isn’t much to dislike about our first look at the 2017 Pathfinder. Nissan is holding the mantra that a vehicle like this (or, for that matter, vehicles in any segment) have to deliver a fully-rounded package, inside and out, to compete in a brave new world. We’ve reached a point where even entry-level autos can be bought with fripperies that were once the province of luxury brands, so the availability of things like a motion-activated tailgate or any of the latest driver-assistance technology and nanny systems now simply must be offered. The automatic liftgate, for example (it operates by kicking your foot underneath the rear bumper, a feature we first saw on Ford’s Escape) will be standard equipment on all Pathfinders sold with the power liftgate option. It should be just

the thing for most any situation that a familyoriented utility vehicle could be asked to endure. Basically, it will break down into four
trims (S, SV, SL and Platinum), all of which will have the 3.5L sixcylinder engine, CVT transmission and a choice of 2WD or fourwheel drive.
