SPINNING THEIR WHEEL
Eight-year-old Ben Lyster and his sister Amy, 10, were among those who took advantage of an open house at the Big Little Science Centre on Saturday, Nov. 1. The sibling duo were spinning a wheel to learn why only one in 100 salmon survive to spawn.
Advance voting this week The first votes in the Kamloops civic election will be cast this week, with two days of advance voting. Early birds can cast their ballots on Wednesday, Nov. 5 and Thursday, Nov. 6 at Heritage House, 100 Lorne St., from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A third day of advanced polling is slated to run on
Wednesday, Nov. 12. To be eligible to vote, a person must be over the age of 18, a Canadian citizen, a resident of B.C. since at least May 13, 2014, and of Kamloops since at least Oct. 15, 2014. In order to vote, residents must bring two pieces of identification to the polls.
At least one piece of ID must have the voter’s signature, and one his or her address. Accepted forms of identification include a B.C. driver’s licence or care card, a social insurance card, a utility bill for electricity, gas, water, telephone or cable services, or a credit card.
A plan to bring a destination water park, more agricultural production and a permanent home for the Kamloops Exhibition Association to the Tournament Capital Ranch will be among the first items debated by Kamloops’ next city council. Parks planner Mike Doll said staff is putting finishing touches on an application to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for a mix of permitted and non-farm uses on its undeveloped, 80-hectare parcel of land. The city held public information sessions on the project this summer Doll called “incredibly positive,” with just under 80 per cent of attendees backing the KXA’s proposed tradeshow and exhibition facility and 71 per cent backing a destination water park. “For the most part, everyone was quite excited about the uses we are proposing out there,” said Doll. About 300 people weighed in on the plan. While many comments the city
received are positive, a number of those who turned out to view the plans expressed a desire to keep the entire ranch site agricultural. “I am against anything other than food production,” wrote one. “If you guys don’t stop giving away farm land, it is only a question of time until all our food will be grown in plastic beads.” Other commenters expressed concerns about the locations of the ranch, which they said would be difficult to access without a car. Several suggested the city should develop a multi-use path connecting the site to downtown Kamloops or the Halston connector, or consider other alternative transportation options. Doll said if the city is successful with the ALC, it will have to look at public concerns and suggestions more closely as it works out the finer points of the plan. At that point, the city would look to council to approve a lease agreement for the water park, which would be privately developed.

Clark, Prentice meet to patch up relations VANCOUVER — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice says he and his B.C. counterpart Christy Clark have moved on from the tempestuous days of Alison Redford. Redford, Alberta’s former premier, and Clark had “frosty’’ relations over B.C.’s demand for a share of potential oil pipeline revenues. During a meeting in Vancouver yesterday (Nov. 3) Clark told reporters that Prentice is the first Alberta premier to truly understand her province. She didn’t elaborate. Prentice and Clark agreed to continue to work to get a pipeline built to ship Alberta bitumen to the west coast while respecting B.C.’s concerns on disaster preparedness, the environment, aboriginal issues, and profit sharing. Prentice says Clark has invited him back for Grey Cup week this month, and he plans to take her up on it. — The Canadian Press

B.C. Supreme Court
Three-year sentence for deadly driver CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A driver who drank and drove recklessly through North Kamloops, finally crashing his truck and killing two passengers, has been sentenced to three years in jail in B.C. Supreme Court. Justice Deborah Kloegman also banned Wayne Fedan from driving for three years, a ban that starts when he’s released from jail. Fedan was found guilty after trial of dangerous driving causing death for the fatal North Kamloops crash in the early morning hours of March 20, 2010, that killed 20-year-old Brittany Plotnikoff and 38-year-old Kenneth Craigdaillie. The pickup crashed beside McArthur Island Park. All three were at a party together. Fedan was driving them home. In her Friday (Oct. 31) judgment, Kloegman noted Fedan promised Plotnikoff’s stepfather earlier that evening he would not drink and drive. The 53-year-old construction worker was also charged with impaired-driving death but Kloegman earlier ruled his blood-alcohol readings couldn’t be entered as evidence due to improper police conduct. Despite that ruling, the sentencing judge did find he consumed alcohol, an aggravating factor. In sentencing Fedan to three years prison, Kloegman sided with the Crown. The defence argued unsuccessfully for a two-year federal term. Kloegman said Fedan’s “moral blameworthiness� is increased by his pattern of reckless driving that evening, the fact his passengers were not belted, his consumption of alcohol and the broken promise he would not drink and drive. He was also under a police undertaking that banned consumption of alcohol due to a spousal incident in Alberta. Fedan is a lifelong construction worker and instrument technician, father of two and grandfather of three. He has a dated and unrelated petty criminal record. Kloegman found Fedan’s foot was on the accelerator as he rounded the turn at more than twice the posted speed. Thirty minutes beforehand he’d been seen tailgating, speeding and turning without signaling or braking beside a crosswalk, causing a pedestrian to jump to avoid being hit.

The First Nations salmon test fishery on Kamloops Lake will be back, according to a manager. KTW FILE PHOTO
First Nations fishery at Kamloops Lake turns profit, will continue CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
While the First Nations test fishery at Kamloops Lake hauled in less than half its allotted catch, the operation was profitable and will continue to employ local people through its retail arm, said a senior manager. Murray Ross, who heads the Secwepemc Fisheries Commission, said Monday (Nov. 3) the two purse seine boats that plied the west end of Kamloops Lake in September and October hauled in 175,000 sockeye
and another 1,400 chinook. The fishery authorized by Department of Fisheries and Oceans was allotted a catch of 500,000 sockeye returning to Adams River. While Ross said volumes of sockeye were there for the two vessels, they passed through the upper system far more quickly than during the 2010 brood year. “They came running through Kamloops Lake really quickly. We had a short, intense fishery.” Ross said in 2010 crews had 20 to 30 days where large numbers of sockeye came up the system.
“This year, it was 10 to 12 days of good fishing and they were gone.” The upside was the health of the salmon, many of them remained what Ross called “ocean bright” when caught. Most of the sockeye went directly to wholesale buyer North Delta Seafoods, which maintained a quality-control inspector on site. About six per cent of sockeye are held back for retailing through the commission’s RiverFresh retail operation, which runs out of a storefront in the
Mount Paul Industrial Park. “We’ve got a lot of our fish this year,” Ross said. “We’re working to get different products for the store and expanding beyond Kamloops.” Sockeye caught in the lake are blast-frozen for sale and also processed through filleting, canning and smoking. Ross said plans are also underway to sell retort products, smoked salmon sold in a foil pouch that can last as long as seven years without refrigeration. Ross said at its peak the fishery employed about 16
Skeetchestn Indian Band members as well as another 10 to 12 workers on the two boats plying the lake. Following the dominant year, Ross said the test fishery will return to gill netting chinook salmon next year. It may be allowed to catch sockeye in gillnets in the sub-dominant year. Ross said the long-term goal is to move beyond the test fishery — known as a demonstration-commercial fishery in DFO’s language — and obtain a full-fledged commercial licence for an inland fishery.
It’s a good year to get a shot of influenza vaccine early, says Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “We’re already starting to see some influenza activity around the province, which suggests that this flu season may be coming earlier than past flu seasons,” Kendall said. Kendall joined Health Minister Terry Lake and other MLAs who rolled up their sleeves to receive their annual flu shots at the B.C. legislature. Lake said flu vaccination is on the upswing in B.C., with last year setting a record for doses of vaccine administered. That includes 76 per cent of health-care workers, who are now required to get vaccinated or wear a mask in patient care areas during the winter flu season. Contrary to popular misconceptions about “stomach flu” or “24-hour flu,” influenza is a severe respiratory disorder caused by a group of viruses that circulate globally. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates 3,500 people per year die of complications from influenza, particularly seniors and people with underlying conditions such as asthma. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vaccineprevented diseases combined. Flu shots can be obtained from doctors’ offices, pharmacies and public health facilities. To find the nearest flu shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 811 or visit the influenza clinic finder at immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu. Flu shots are free in B.C. for those including children between six months and five years of age, seniors 65 and over, pregnant women, aboriginal people, anyone with a chronic health condition or compromised immune system.

Other communities looking at Kamloops court’s example
“I used to work in the court as a court clerk, so I’ve seen the ways of traditional court.” Kamloops is one of a handful of communities across B.C. with First Nations courts. Others are in New Westminster, North Vancouver and Duncan. Under the umbrella of Kamloops provincial court, the court deals with aboriginal offenders who are pleading guilty to offences that fall under the jurisdiction of a provincialcourt judge — thefts, assaults, breaches and the like. The goal is to provide a First Nations perspective in sentencing native offenders, often using holistic and restorative approaches. Kamloops First Nations court has been up and running since March 2013, setting up shop once each month
in Courtroom 3C of the Kamloops Law Courts. For First Nations court days, the room is set up unlike a traditional courtroom. Everyone involved sits at a long table — the judge, lawyers, the offender, elders and anyone else connected to the offence. The Crown reads in the circumstances of the offence and a position on sentence, then the defence lawyer gives some information about the offender. After that, the offender is offered a chance to speak about his or her own circumstances as they relate to the crime. That is followed by in-depth submissions from a panel of three First Nations elders, and then the judge hands down a sentence. “It’s humanizing,” Faulconer said of the Kamloops First
Nations court. “It’s super-refreshing and it would be ideal [in Victoria]. “This is what needs to change for First Nations people in the justice system. It’s obvious that there’s change needed to be made.” Faulconer’s visit to Kamloops First Nations court came following an aboriginal-justice conference hosted last week by three local native bands. Kamloops aboriginal-justice worker Christine Thompson said there are a number of communities across B.C. with hopes of getting a similar court up and running. “A lot of people want to see a First Nations court established in their community,” she said. “I think a lot of them will go back [from the conference] with strategies of how they can establish one.”
Water park requires special ALC permission From page A1
The water-park developer, which parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said could be worth $19 million, has not made his name public. Putnam told KTW it’s not DW Builders, the company behind the never-built Sedric’s Adventure Resort and Theme Park. While a water park requires special permission from the ALC, Dolls said the city will argue that, without the park, it’s unlikely any other development will be possible at the site in the near future. “First of all, they’re going to demolish the jail buildings, which are an environmental hazard, a huge cost to get rid of them,” he said. “So, they’re going to take on that cost for us, huge plus.”
The developer has also pledge to bring potable water to the site. At present, city staff truck water to the ball fields next door. “That would benefit the KXA multi-purpose building, that would help out the future rugby building, that would help out the ball field building,” said Doll. “So, if they’re willing to do that and help us with that infrastructure cost, that’s huge.” If council agrees to make an application to the ALC, Doll said the city hopes to have a decision by spring of 2015. One frequent suggestion from the public that won’t be in the city’s plan is RV camping. The Tk’emlups Indian Band, which also has land at the ranch, has exclusive camping rights and plans to develop a camping area.

SD73 part of group-buy of school buses District will receive 11 buses at a value of $1.4 million The Kamloops-Thompson school district is part of a $9 million provincial purchase to replace school buses. The purchases are part of a group-buy between the ministry of education and the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. This is the fourth year the two bodies have worked together on the purchases; prior to that, individual school districts negotiated separately. School District 73 will receive 11 buses at a value of $1.4 million, the largest dollar value and number of buses of the 22 districts included in the purchase. The new buses are expected to arrive in the spring.

IT TAKES TIME TO CREATE A VOTER
W
ere you an informed voter at age 20? Fewer than one-third of you voted in the 2011 civic election and people have pointed to the lack of young people voting as a contributing factor. It’s very easy to wag a finger at young people about it being their responsibility to vote. It’s harder to delve into the reasons why and more difficult still to initiate change. Talking to young people who don’t vote, two responses are heard repeatedly: “I don’t know enough about the issues” and “my vote doesn’t matter.” The answers are obvious: “Then learn” and “If you want a better community, it’s the only thing that does.” But, while the statements are hard to argue with, they aren’t going to resonate with young people until their life experience drives home those lessons. Voting is about acting as an independent member of your community. You have to remember most 18- to 20-yearolds are neophytes in that role; many are still shaking off the confines they grew up in. The significance of the greater community outside of their friends and family is something that is only beginning to be realized. Learning the importance of voting is something that only comes with time and experience. Schools and families can speed the process by introducing the concept of politics to kids at an earlier age — talk about the issues more and show real-life examples of change. And they should. But don’t expect educated, engaged voters to happen overnight. They never have before. — Langley Times

Legislation spews hot gas
T
he climate debate, which all leftthinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural-gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is discussed — deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface-temperature rise, even as greenhouse-gas emissions rise around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And, I agree with Throness’ main point B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters.
TOM FLETCHER
Our man in
VICTORIA So, today I’d like to provide some background on the natural-gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heattrapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light
liquids. Oddly, U.S. President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse-gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG and their greenhousegas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas-reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

DISTRACTED? TAKE AWAY THEIR PHONES Editor: Am I the only person that can see the logical answer to stop people from using their cell phones while driving? Take the phone away from them. If a person is caught using their phone, it should be confis-
cated for 24 hours. Caught a second time — make it 48 hours. Let’s face it, if a person can’t go without using their phone while they’re driving, they won’t want it taken away from them for any amount of time, so the risk of that would be
a high deterrent. If it is confiscated, they can pick it up at the impound centre once the 24 hours is up. No costs for administering points and chasing fines. Win-win. Denise Ashby Kamloops

A 34-year old man who spent the last decade as an addict or in jail has been sentenced to eight more months in prison. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan said despite Justin Daniels’ vow to clean up and his detailed release, treatment and work plan, he needs a longer jail sentence. Donegan sided with the Crown, which sought an 18-month prison term for a series of bail breaches, driving while prohibited and leading RCMP on a chase in a spree starting in February and lasting into July. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Daniels has undergone a “significant metamorphosis” and wants to rid himself of drugs and a criminal lifestyle. He has been addicted to both heroin and crystal meth and has racked up nearly 30 convictions in the past eight years. He has two young children and a history
of working in construction and the oil fields. Campbell also agreed with a submission by Crown lawyer Neil Flanagan that Daniels be barred from Kamloops. “He considers Kamloops a very dangerous place for risk of relapse,” he said. “All his social contacts in the community are damaging ones.” Campbell said his client has a plan for treatment after release, a place to stay in Salmon Arm and a job. Daniels has served an equivalent of 10 months in jail. In sentencing yesterday (Nov. 3) Donegan said Daniels would have faced a longer sentence if not for his early guilty pleas. She declined to release him on a conditional sentence for the rest of his term. “His criminal record shows flagrant disregard for court orders,” she said. Daniels will also be on probation following his release from jail.

Hollywood feature begins filming in North Okanagan Anthony Hopkins, Ray Liotta and Julia Stiles are among the big-name actors cast in feature film Go With Me THE CANADIAN PRESS
KELOWNA — Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars will descend on British Columbia’s North Okanagan next week as filming for the feature film Go With Me begins. The film features Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins and will be shot in Enderby and Lumby. The star of The Silence of the Lambs, Thor: The Dark World and Red 2 is teaming up with Ray Liotta, who had principal roles in Goodfellas and Field of Dreams. Julia Stiles, who acted in The Bourne Supremacy and Silver Linings Playbook, also has a role. Go With Me is directed by Sweden’s Daniel Alfredson, known for his work on the international mystery thrillers The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. Go With Me is co-produced by Rick Dugdale, an Enderby native who’s now one of the principals in Enderby Entertainment, an independent-film, television and digital-media company based in Los Angeles. “We are very pleased to have Rick, who has brought production to the area previously, return to the Okanagan to shoot this film and to bring such a prestigious director and talent to our region,’’ said Okanagan film commissioner Jon Summerland in a written statement. Nearly half the film crew are from the Okanagan, Summerland said. There is also work for background actors and a casting session is set for Tuesday in Enderby. Go With Me is based on the 2008 novel of the same name by Castle Freeman Jr. and adapted by Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs. The story is set in a Pacific Northwest logging community and focuses on a young woman who has just returned to her hometown, according to Variety. The woman becomes the victim of harassment by an ex-cop turned crime boss. She seeks help from an ex-logger, played by Hopkins, and his young sidekick to protect her against the stalker. Hopkins, 76, is co-producing the film with Dugdale and three others. He recently acted in another film directed by Alfredson, playing a beer tycoon in Kidnapping Freddy Heineken, a film about Heineken’s kidnapping in 1983. The movie is set for release early next year. Summerland says Go With Me has a “healthy’’ budget, though he didn’t disclose numbers. He credits his relationship with Dugdale as part of the reason the film is being shot in the Okanagan. “We are finding that once a production company has worked here, they like to come back as our locations, amenities and crews have so much to offer,’’ Summerland said. Local business should benefit from the production for several months, said commission chair John Trainor. “2014 is turning out to be another incredible year for the Okanagan film and animation industry,’’ he said. “The continued hard work is paying off, creating a growing industry in our region.’’

She’s got her own place and a loving family — now Kayla Finney wants to find a paid job. The Ministry of Social Development and Innovation showcased its programs Friday (Oct. 31) to assist people with disabilities to find housing and employment. The ministry funds agencies, including Kamloops Society for Community Living, to manage the programs. Under its homeshare program, Finney lives with a Brocklehurst family, including Tammy Leary and her eight-year-old son. “I love it,” said Finney, who lives in the newly renovated basement of the family’s home. “I have a family that can help me grow into independence.” Finney, 24, was placed with Leary starting six years ago, once she was no longer a part of the province’s foster-care program. She has spastic cerebral palsy and a learning disability. Leary, known as a homeshare provider under the program, said Finney has become an inseparable part of her family. “She gives so much back,” Leary said. “She has such strength and courage. “It’s not something

Living with the Leary family, Finney said she’s learned skills that make her independent, including taking the bus on her own. The relationship allows her to get help from Leary when needed but also to live independently and come and go as she wants.
Despite her challenges, the 24-year-old holds down three volunteer jobs, including at Gardengate and People in Motion. But both she and Community Living say Finney, and others with disabilities, make valuable and loyal employees.

North Thompson man loses appeal Donations TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s highest court has dismissed the appeal of a 51-year-old North Thompson man who tried to rape a sleeping 18-year-old girl after a party in 2011. George Joseph Eustache was convicted in January of sexual assault and sentenced to 12 months behind bars to be followed by a two-year probation term.
George Eustache was convicted of sexual assault for 2011 incident involving 18-year-old girl On July 11, 2011, Eustache held a boozefuelled party at his house on the Chu Chua Reserve near Barriere. One of the attendees was the victim, who had just turned 18 and cannot be identified due to a mandatory publication ban protecting the names of victims of sexual assault.
Court heard the victim was unconscious at 5 a.m. when Eustache took off her pants and attempted to have sexual intercourse with her. The assault ended when the victim’s cousin entered the room. Court heard Eustache was a victim of sexual assault himself as a child and was a student at the
Kamloops Indian residential school in his teens. He has a brief criminal record, including two convictions for impaired driving and a 2005 assault. Court heard that assault occurred after the victim — the mother of the victim of the 2011 sexual assault — refused to have sex with Eustache.
Eustache appealed his 12-month sentence, claiming the judge failed to consider his difficult upbringing as a “mitigating factor” or as a factor that should lessen his moral culpability. A three-judge B.C Court of Appeal panel ruled an aboriginal person’s difficult past is not a “traditional mitigating factor” — like a lack of a criminal record, a guilty plea or a good work history.

With a background in teaching, law and administration, Barbara Morin said she has the skill set needed to be a KamloopsThompson schoolboard trustee. Morin, who described herself as a non-practising lawyer, said she was a teacher for five years, as well as a principal. She said she’s running because she liked being involved with education. Morin said she sees School District 73 as doing a good job with programming “and setting a standard for other districts to try and follow,� specifically mentioning the districts soon-toopen trades school and the International Baccalaureate program, both at NorKam secondary, as well as the First Nations studies and darling-learning centres. Morin noted individual schools are encouraged to create their own innovative programs, mention-

ing she had heard Kay Bingham elementary has a free one-hour recreational-activity program it offers after school on Mondays and Fridays. Morin said one area she’d like to see more work on is progress in dealing with capital-works projects — like replacing Westmount elementary and South Kamloops secondary — but added she recognized that involves dealing with the provincial government. She’d also like to see more work done on decreasing class sizes. Morin, who said she now works as a consultant on policy creation and implementation,
Mailing it in In a new initiative, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) will allow voters to use mail-in ballots for the Nov. 15 civic election. Applications for mail-in ballots are now available from the TNRD website, at tnrd.ca. Chief election officer Carolyn Black said mailin ballots will be accepted for the first time for a general election as a way to encourage more turnout and to better accommodate property owners who may live elsewhere. Black said the regional district has in the past accepted mail-in ballots for local referendums to establish new services. She said the measure in the election will assist residents who are travelling and cannot make the advance polls. Ballots will be sent out to those who apply for them. Completed ballots must arrive before the close of voting day, Nov. 15. There are electoral races in the three regional district areas surrounding Kamloops — in areas J, L and P.

Emerance spellbound on Maschmeyer magic Alberta farm girl chasing Canadian hockey dreams
Emerance Maschmeyer, the sister of former Kamloops Blazers’ defenceman Bronson Maschmeyer, is among the goaltenders vying for time in Canada’s crease at the Four Nations Cup, which gets underway today at Interior Savings Centre.

here might just be another Maschmeyer moment at Interior Savings Centre. Emerance Maschmeyer is among the stable of goaltenders looking to backstop Canada to gold at the Four Nations Cup, which gets underway today at the downtown Kamloops arena. The tournament, widely considered the third-most prestigious in women’s hockey, behind the Olympics and world championship, will feature Canada, the U.S., Finland and Sweden. Emerance’s brother, Bronson, played three seasons on the blue line for the Kamloops Blazers and saved his best for last, scoring one of the biggest goals in franchise history in Game 6 of the 2012 WHL Western Conference semifinal against the powerhouse Portland Winterhawks, blowing the roof off ISC and lifting the Blue and Orange to a 7-6 victory. “Those were the glory days,” said Bronson, who was outside the St. Francis Xavier University library in Antigonish, N.S., when he spoke to KTW on Thursday, Oct. 30. The Blazers lost Game 7 in Portland and Bronson, now
23, aged out of junior hockey. He played all 72 games in each of his three campaigns with Kamloops. “I hope Emerance can take the Maschmeyer name and keep the streak going,” he said with a laugh. “You look at pictures and see where she came from and how much effort she’s put in. It’s well-deserved.” The 20-year-old netminder had two goals growing up: Go to Harvard University and play hockey for her country — two tall tasks for a farm girl from Bruderheim, Alta., population 1,155. Emerance was in Cambridge, Mass., where she is playing hockey and studying sociology and economics at the reputable Ivy League school, when she talked about wearing the Maple Leaf this week. “When I think about it, it gives me chills.

happening?” she said. “It’s hard to think about because it seems so surreal. “It’s an awesome feeling to know my hard work is paying off, but I still have to prove myself at this level.” Emerance worked her way up the minor-hockey ranks playing on boys’ teams — she was Bronson’s teammate in novice — in Bruderheim and Fort Saskatchewan, before making the jump to junior A, suiting up with the Lloydminster Bobcats in the Alberta Junior Hockey League in 2011-2012.

Bronson, in Prince George on a road trip with the Blazers, and Maschmeyer matriarch Christine, at home on the family farm in Bruderheim, were battling through shoddy Internet connections, watching the gold-medal showdown online. “It blanked out for the last two minutes,” Christine said. “By the time it came back on, I saw Em sprawled on the ground with all the girls on top of her.” The web is a major tool for the Maschmeyers, with siblings — there are five of them — spread across North America and Europe.

WolfPack men in win column
After a scary performance on Halloween night, the TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball team bounced back with its first win of the season, downing the Regina Cougars 3-1 on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Tournament Capital Centre. “There was certainly a lot more focus,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly said. “I have to give Regina credit. There were a couple of sets where we were well in the lead and they kept scrapping back. “I liked the fight we had as we came back from a bit of a deficit ourselves. I thought we were lucky down the stretch.” Regina (1-5) swept TRU (1-7) in three sets on Friday night in a match Hennelly called the worst in school history since the WolfPack joined the Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranks.
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
Rookie TRU WolfPack setter Tyler Pomietlarz was named the TRU Bookstore/ McDonald’s Leader of the Pack for his performance against the Regina Cougars at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday, Nov. 1.
Strong performances from rookie setter Tyler Pomietlarz and outside hitter Randy Grundmann were key to the WolfPack’s success on Saturday. Pomietlarz had 39 assists, eight digs and two block assists in his first Canada West start. Grundmann recorded 21 kills in 38 chances, with two assists, eight digs and three block assists. TRU will head to Brandon for matches against the Bobcats on Friday, Nov. 7, and Saturday, Nov. 8.
Queen sweep
The TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball team broke out the
brooms on Halloween weekend and swept the Regina Cougars. “It is important moving forward that we win on backto-back nights,” WolfPack head coach Chad Grimm said on Saturday, after the Pack won in straight sets over the Bobcats at the TCC. “It is the first time that we have come out with two great performances,” Grimm said. “Yesterday, it was a gritty five setter. It was ugly, but we won. “I thought tonight that our performance tonight was a little smoother and a little better.” The WolfPack, for the first time in more than three seasons, have a .500 record, the weekend wins improving them to 4-4. Regina dropped to 1-5. TRU was led for the second consecutive night by Iuliia
Pakhomenko, a third-year outside hitter from Donetsk, Ukraine. Her weekend totals: 50 kills in 100 opportunities, with 22 digs, four assists, two solo blocks and two block assists. “I am just doing what I have to do,” Pakhomenko said about her weekend performance. “This was a big challenge for us. We seem to have had bad luck losing the second match the last few weekends. “This time, we put everything together.” TRU is on the road in Brandon this weekend for a pair of matches against the Bobcats.

Bronson Maschmeyer celebrates the game-winning goal in what’s become known in Kamloops simply as Game 6 — a remarkable third-period comeback that ended in a 7-6 Blazers’ victory over the Portland Winterhawks in the 2012 WHL Western Conference semifinal.
Maschmeyer gaining valuable experience, with sights set on playing at Olympics From page A17
Father Arlan, who made the trip to Eastern Europe in 2012, and Christine will not be forced to suffer through buffering this week. They’ll be watching in the stands. “My parents are coming and my grandma, too. I’m excited I get to share it with my family,” Emerance said. “I’m just really honoured to get this opportunity. I’m stoked.” Emerance is the youngest of the three Canadian goaltenders. Genevieve Lacasse, 25, and Erica Howe, 22, both from Ontario, will also be vying for time in the crease. Lacasse is the most experienced, a member of goldmedal winning Canadian teams at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, the 2013 Four Nations Cup in Lake Placid and the 2012 world championship in Vermont. Emerance played for the national development team against the U.S. in a three-game
series in Calgary this summer. This year’s Four Nations Cup will mark her first stint with the senior national team. When KTW caught up with Emerance, the Canadian coaching staff, led by head coach Doug Derraugh, had not yet spoken to the goaltenders about who has the No. 1 job. “It keeps everyone on their toes,” said Emerance, one of 10 players making their debut on the senior women’s team. Even if she doesn’t see the ice, making the team is a step toward donning the Canadian sweater when it matters most, at the Olympics. “It’s been my goal since I can remember,” said Emerance, who always got the start between the pipes on the outdoor rink at the farm, although she often ditched the pads and fired a few slappers of her own — “She’s got a pretty good shot. You’d be surprised,” Bronson said. “I always talked about it when I was little,” Emerance recalled. “I wanted to play in the NHL
but, when I got a little bit older, I realized that probably was not possible. The Olympics was my goal from the start.” Given her track record, there’s no reason to doubt she’ll be in South Korea for the 2018 Winter Games. “She’s said since she was 10 that she’s going to Harvard. She went and did it,” said Bronson, who’s taking business classes at St. Francis Xavier and playing on the X-Men’s blue line. “The other goal was to make the national team. She did that.” Bronson remembers well the moment he had in Game 6. He would love to see his sister have an out-of-body experience of her own. “We’re a tight family so, when somebody achieves something, you feel like you’re there with them but, in the end, she was the one that was determined enough to get there, putting in who knows how many hours at the rink,” he said. “I’m happy for her.”

After more than two months of maintenance projects, life is almost back to normal at the Tournament

regular maintenance projects, but more comprehensive work is done every five to six years. The regularly scheduled maintenance projects wrapped up at the beginning of

September, but still ongoing is the unexpected replacement of the building envelope by Western Roofing Ltd. That project, which is the reason behind the scaffolding seen lining the outside of the building, is scheduled to wrap up in the next two weeks. As Kamloops This Week reported earlier this year, the TCC is missing vapour barriers in some parts of the building. The barriers prevent condensation from forming between the walls of the building when the temperature changes. Because of the oversight during its construction, the building has leaked since it opened in 2007. Stantec Architecture and D&T Developments did the building’s architecture and construction. “Our expectation from the city is to recover all of our costs for that work,” he said. In all, the City of Kamloops spent about $270,000 on the scheduled updates. Putnam said the funding was a part of the building’s annual capital-projects budget. Among the regularly scheduled maintenance were updates to the TCC Field House, the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and the indoor hammer-throw facility. In the field house, both hardwood floors were sanded down to the original wood and refinished. The lines and logos for all the courts were repainted. Fans might also notice the volleyball

court received a different tone finish than the rest of the flooring. “We had discussions with Ken Olynyk at TRU athletics on what they would like to see, because it is a multiuse playing facility,” Putnam said. “Sometimes . . . if you just go to the traditional, painted lines, it looks a little bit busier than perhaps doing a different tone like we did. “So, we decided to try the different tone. “We got really good reviews on it — the volleyball coaches are really happy, as well as the fans, so we’re going to see how that goes and we might
stick with that.” The rubber indoor track in the field house also received a deep cleaning. The motors that raise and lower the retractable court dividers were replaced, as were the dividers. The city elected to go with lightweight mesh curtains, rather than the heavy vinyl dividers it used previously, to reduce the stress on the motors. The lighting in the building was also overhauled, replacing any burned-out or broken bulbs. In the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, the pool basins were re-grouted for the first
time in 20 years. Some painting and minor repairs were also done in the pool area. In the indoor hammer-throw cage, the only one of its kind in Western Canada, Putnam said the chain-link fencing was replaced, as were the baffles. With athletes like Dylan Armstrong and Sultana Frizell training in the centre, the facility has undergone significant wear and tear. The TCC also replaced some of its fitness equipment. The facility has a $125,000 budget for annual updates and replacements.

road trip — a two-game American swing this weekend — when they resume skating today. With the Four Nations Cup having taken over Interior Savings Centre, the Blazers are practising this week at Memorial Arena. Kamloops (9-8-1-1) plays Tri-City (9-8-0-0) on Friday and Portland (7-10-0-2) on Saturday. Cole Ully has missed the Blazers’ last three games to due to illness. He is expected to return for the American road trip. Nick Merkley of the Kelowna Rockets has leapfrogged the sidelined Ully and taken the WHL scoring lead. He has 27 points, with Ully stuck on 26. Rookie forward Jake Kryski will miss the weekend games. He is playing with Team Canada Red at the Under-17 World Hockey Challenge in Sarnia, Ont.

VANCOUVER — Filip Forsberg is at the centre of early conversations about rookie of the year candidates — and Sunday (Nov. 2) night he showed why. The 20-year-old Swede scored twice and added an assist as the Nashville Predators beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 at Rogers Arena. Forsberg now leads all NHL rookies with 11 points in 11 games for Nashville and his goahead goal in the third period — his second of the night — displayed just how quickly he’s adapting to the pro game.
And, as for all that rookie-of-the-year discussion, Forsberg is politely shrugging it off. “It’s nothing I really pay attention to. It’s more you guys [media] reminding me of it,’’ said Forsberg. “If I can contribute to the team in the points department, I am more than happy to do that.’’ Forsberg’s winner came when James Neal powered his way in for a shot, then fanned

Defenceman Josh Connolly and the Kamloops Blazers earned one of a possible four points on a road trip to Prince George on the weekend. Kamloops is next in action on Friday, Nov. 7, when it travels to Kennewick, Wash., to play the Tri-City Americans.

Deven Sideroff’s third-period goal on Sunday, Nov. 2, secured the Kamloops Blazers’ only point on a weekend road trip to Prince George. The Cougars edged the Blazers 3-2 in a shootout at the CN Centre on Sunday, following a 4-1 victory over the Blue and Orange on Saturday. Kamloops fell 4-1 to the Everett Silvertips on Oct. 29. Sideroff, the 17-yearold Blazers’ forward who’s tied for the WHL rookie scoring lead with 19 points, lit the lamp with less than nine minutes remaining in the third frame on Sunday to force overtime. Logan McVeigh also tallied for the Blazers in support of goaltender Connor Ingram, who made 34 saves. Luke Harrison was Kamloops’ only goal scorer in the defeat on Saturday, with Cole Kehler making 30 saves between the pipes in a losing effort. Ty Edmonds posted two victories in net for the Cougars, whose weekend goals came from Chance Braid, Jared Bethune, Brad Morrison, Marc McNulty, Jansen Harkins and Tate Olson. The Blazers, who had Monday off, will shift focus to their next

on it, before Forsberg skated in behind Neal and lifted the puck past Lack to make it 2-1 at 6:42 into the third. “He’s getting better every night,’’ Neal said. “I was in the same position he was, so it’s fun to help him and he’s been good. He had a great night tonight. He shoots the puck well and he’s just going to keep getting better.’’ Colin Wilson also scored and goalie Pekka Rinne made 26 saves for the Predators (7-2-2), who won for the second time three games into their sixgame road swing. Defenceman Alex Edler scored the only goal for the Canucks (8-4-0), who had a
four-game win streak snapped before heading out for a tough away trip through California and Colorado. Eddie Lack, making his first start since getting hammered for seven goals at Colorado on Oct. 24, finished the evening with 30 saves. Ryan Miller had the night off after backstopping his team to a 3-2 win at Edmonton the night before. Lack is still searching for his first win of the season after three starts. He played much better than his last outing and says he just has to stay positive. “Somehow the puck keeps finding a way in
and I keep finding ways to lose the games,’’ said a dejected Lack. “I feel like I have to keep working and staying positive. It’s tough right now for sure.’’ The Canucks are hitting the road for a fourgame road trip, starting tonight in Denver with a game against the Colorado Avalanche. Puck-drop is slated for 6 p.m. Following the game, Vancouver will head to California for games against San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim. Prized Canucks’ prospect Bo Horvat was recalled on Sunday from Utica (AHL), but did not play and is likely to make his NHL debut tonight.

In Loving Memory of DONNA JACK 1945 - 2010
ROBERT LOYLL ZIMONICK March 7, 1945 – October 22, 2014
Miss you Mom Love Rob
April 14, 1956 – October 29, 2014
Loyll, aka Bob, was born in Greenville, Mississippi; at the age of one his family returned to their hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin where he grew up. He served in the US Navy for a 4-year tour of duty on the USS Independence stationed out of Norfolk, Virginia. Throughout the navy years he sailed the Caribbean Sea during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Mediterranean, the Norwegian Sea, and the South China Sea during the Vietnam War. The call of the wilderness and the back-to-the-land movement brought him to Canada in 1971 to settle for a while in Likely, BC and eventually with a young family to Kamloops, BC. Loyll opened his store “Zimonick’s Comics” in 1988, first on Tranquille Road and eventually he was operating three different locations around the city. His stores were famous for the ½-price sales and people lined up down the block for opening time.
If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven And bring you home again.
RON MALONEY
Loyll had an unforgettable and unique personality; he was smart, funny, loud, charismatic, energetic, generous, and enjoyed getting a rise out of people. He loved to tell stories, sometimes embellished, and often accompanied by the quote, “I’m not making this up!” He enjoyed hot weather, boating, puttering around the yard, watching football and cheering for the Packers, hiking and nature, reading books, listening to music, and beer, which he shared generously. He loved his winter home in Arizona and happily enjoyed three winters there after retiring. Loyll passed away in hospice in the arms of Barbara with his family nearby after fighting the wretched cancer. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Barbara; his children Maxx, Melissa, Zac, Aerin (Joel), Drew and Cindy (Curt); his grandchildren Micah, Vaida, Reece, and Karis; his sister Bonnie and brother Scott (Janet); nieces and nephews Christine, Elizabeth, Mike, Zeke, Jill, and their families. Predeceased by his parents Robert and June (2010) and brotherin-law Robin (2006). In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society (19-9th Ave S, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L9) or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice (72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9) as a way to give thanks for the excellent care they provided to Loyll. A memorial gathering will take place at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers on Sunday, November 9 at 1 pm.

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

Expert says training Iraqi cops worthwhile said. What should follow any military campaign is “a training program that attempts to build an honest, professional, civilian police service that will be connected to the community,’’ he said. “When you don’t bring in that institution to keep order, you’re going to wind up with more disorder.’’ Gould said funding for civilian police operations, also known as CivPol, has been stagnant for years and the number of training missions around the world has declined to just two, involving only 93 officers. The chaos that followed the international community’s failure to build an impartial police service in Libya after the NATO bombing campaign in 2011 is a cautionary tale for the coalition bombing Iraq and Syria, he added. In Iraq, the alien-
MURRAY BREWSTER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
KUWAIT CITY — Iraq plans to step up police training to deal with the threat of extremists — a project one expert said would be ideal for a Conservative government that’s eager to make its mark in the war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Harper government has put more emphasis on business and trade in emerging nations than on institution-building, said Terry Gould, who has spent several years researching and writing about civilian police missions in Afghanistan, Palestine and Haiti. Having honest, welltrained police would be a major step toward bridging Iraq’s sectarian divide, which has torn the country apart in the post-Saddam Hussein era, Gould
ation of Sunnis from the largely Shiite-run government and security forces of former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki is part of the reason the country has descended into bloody sectarian violence. In Ottawa yesterday (Nov. 3), Prime Minister Stephen Harper and French President Francois Hollande acknowledged the airstrike
campaign won’t be enough to defeat ISIL, but insisted the bombs are having an effect. What will happen after the extremists are dislodged, however, remains unclear. “Part of it is also a political settlement in Baghdad that allows those parts of the country that are presently occupied by ISIL to see themselves as part of the governance,
and part of the national life of the country,’’ Harper said. Canada did contribute to an international police training mission for Iraq security forces following the 2003 U.S. invasion, but the 16-nation effort has been tarnished by the way some of the local cops melted away when Islamic State militants began tearing across Syria and northern Iraq.
The training, conducted at a camp in Jordan, churned out thousands of graduates every week, but many were only there for the salary and weren’t committed to policing, said former trainers who talked to The Toronto Star last summer. Gould, who wrote the recently published book Worth Dying For: Canada’s Mission to Train Police in Failing
States, says a more extensive, rigorous program needs to be developed — and Canadian thoughtfulness and expertise can lead the way. Adam Hodge, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, was non-committal about the idea, noting that in the past Canada has preferred to work through international organizations like Interpol.

Three women have filed complaints against Ghomeshi with Toronto police, who have launched a criminal investigation. The force has confirmed one of the accusers is Trailer Park Boys star Lucy DeCoutere. Ghomeshi has said he has engaged in rough sex, but that it was always consensual, and said he was fired from CBC because of the risk his sex life would become public “as a result of a campaign of false allegations.’’ In a Facebook post last week, he said he plans to confront allegations, but said he won’t discuss it further with media. As many as nine women have come forward, with accusations of assault and sexual assault, but until Friday, Oct. 31, none had gone to police. Copeland told the Toronto TV station CP24 he didn’t alert police after hearing allegations Ghomeshi had made “what sounds like inappropriate advances’’ at a former Western student because it wasn’t his story to tell. “I was shocked, but she did not want to talk about this story, she did not want to go forward with it [and] I respected her decision on that,’’ he said. “If it had been an intern, there would have been no question, we would have done that, but this isn’t an intern, this is a young professional journalist who was out there trying to get a job at the CBC.’’ Ghomeshi, 47, has launched a $55-million lawsuit against the CBC for breach of confidence and defamation. He has also filed a grievance alleging dismissal without proper cause that damaged his reputation. The CBC has hired an independent investigator to look at its handling of the situation after at least one former employee said she had complained. — The Canadian Press

Woman suing Russell Williams can’t target military pension yet DIANE MEHTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A woman pursuing a lawsuit against convicted sex killer Russell Williams can’t go after his military pension for potential damages just yet, Ontario’s highest court ruled on Monday, Nov. 3. A panel of three judges found a proposed amendment to the lawsuit’s statement of claim, which would have allowed Williams’ pension to be targeted, was “premature.’’ Williams, once a rising star in the Canadian Forces, was sentenced to life in prison in October 2010 after pleading guilty to the murders of Jessica Lloyd and Cpl. Marie-France Comeau. In early August, he reached an out-of-court settlement with some of his victims, but a suit by sexual-assault victim Laurie Massicotte remains active. Massicotte, who has chosen to reveal her identity and speak publicly about her ordeal, filed a nearly $7-million lawsuit in late 2011 against Williams, his wife and the province of Ontario. In her claim, she said the attack against her left her fearful, humiliated, depressed, suicidal, unable to function in society and she will require extensive therapy. Massicotte made an effort to amend her statement of claim in November 2013 to go after Williams’ pension for potential damages, but the matter was turned down by a lower court, at which point she took the issue to the appeal court. Her lawyer argued a section of the Pension Act violated part
Ontario judges rule lawsuit going after sex killer’s pension was ‘premature’ of Massicotte’s Charter rights by depriving her the right to be compensated for physical and psychoRussell Williams logical losses. He also argued it denied her the ability to acquire the assistance and amenities required to improve her life, liberty and security of person. “We’re satisfied that we need access to pension to cover the damages that we believe will be awarded,’’ Massicotte’s lawyer, Philip Healey, told the appeal court. “We have a plaintiff here who went through a horrendous sexual assault. She’s a young woman, she’s 52, she probably won’t be able to work again.’’ Williams’ lawyer, Pasquale Santini, argued allowing the pension-related amendment would delay the progress of the case. He said it was an issue Massicotte could advance later, once she had received a judgment. “What consequence will it have to inject these arguments into these issues? There’s only one, it will lead to delay,’’ he said in court. After hearing arguments on both sides, the appeal court panel agreed with the earlier decision on the pension matter. “The motion judge denied leave on the basis that the amendments would complicate
and lengthen proceedings and constitute an impediment to time and efficient disposition of the issues as currently framed,’’ said Justice William Hourigan. “We see no basis to interfere with the motion judge’s conclusion.’’ The panel also found it was too soon to deal with the matter of whether William’s pension ought to be targeted and suggested the federal government was the party that ought to be targeted. “The issue of whether Mr. Williams’ pension is exigible does not arise until after the final determination of the issues as currently pleaded,’’ Hourigan said. “In that context, if warranted, it will be open for the appellant to assert a Charter argument.’’ The panel of judges did however allow Massicotte to amend her statement of claim to allege the province of Ontario violated her charter rights to security and equality when police investigated her assault in a manner “which placed the value of the criminal investigation above their duty to protect’’ her. The amendment to the statement of claim alleged police chose not to warn potential victims like Massicotte. It also alleges police failed to expend an adequate degree of energy and resources to apprehend Williams. The allegations have not been proven in court. Massicotte’s lawyer called Monday’s ruling a “divided success.’’
First Canadian air strikes in Iraq may have targeted dump truck MURRAY BREWSTER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
KUWAIT CITY — The first strikes of Canada’s air war over Iraq appear to have been aimed at construction equipment belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Although the military has been silent about what targets were bombed by two CF-18s during Canada’s first air raids of the war, the U.S. command overseeing operations in the Gulf region released a list of the weekend bombing missions. The only official Canadian acknowledgment came from Defence Minister Rob Nicholson, who said the Nov. 2 attacks took place in the area of
Fallujah, a militant stronghold about 71 kilometres west of Baghdad. Nicholson wouldn’t release details, but said more information would be forthcoming at an Ottawa briefing today (Nov. 4) — 48 hours after the mission. However, U.S. Central Command, based in Tampa, Fla., said four strikes hit a large ISIL unit in the vicinity where Canadian planes reportedly dropped their laser-guided bombs. The attack apparently destroyed five ISIL bulldozers and one ISIL dump truck used to build obstructions and berms. It is unclear whether Canadians carried out all of the strikes in the vicinity of Fallujah
or if aircraft from other coalition nations were involved. No one at the Canadian task force headquarters was immediately available for comment Monday night. The U.S. military says a total of nine airstrikes took place in Iraq on Sunday, using jets and drones. Interestingly, the news release from U.S. Central Command neglected to mention Canada’s involvement in air operations. The Iraqi government lost control of Fallujah in early January after local police were unable to hold back Islamic State fighters in the aftermath of the withdrawal of army units from Anbar province.
Harper headed to China to repair strained ties Relationship between Canada and China is chilly as PM makes his third visit to Beijing LEE-ANNE GOODMAN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper heads to China this week amid serious divisions in the Conservative ranks over Canada’s relationship with its No. 2 trading partner. Harper held an upbeat photo-op with the Chinese ambassador in his Langevin Block office late last week to announce his third visit to the country following a long-standing invitation from President Xi Jinping. The warm encounter was in stark contrast to months of chilly relations between the two countries that almost iced the visit entirely, an expert on Chinese-Canadian relations said. “I think the invitation has been on the table for a year and a half, and there was no decision until very recently; it was on-again, off-again,’’ said Paul Evans, author of Engaging China and an international-relations professor at the University of British Columbia. “It’s extraordinary that there seems to have been no decision until very recently.’’ Since Harper’s last visit to China in 2012, the Conservatives restricted state-owned Chinese investment in Alberta’s oilsands and have yet to respond to an invitation to negotiate a free-trade agreement with China. The government also dragged its heels on ratifying a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with the Chinese. Tensions reached a fever pitch in recent months after Harper accused the Chinese of a cyberattack on the National Research Council; the Chinese, meanwhile, have accused a Canadian couple living in China of spying. Still, Evans said, those recent irritants could have — and likely should have — been handled via diplomatic efforts. That Harper publicly went loud and large on the espionage accusations is indicative of just how conflicted the Conservatives remain about China. Employment Minister Jason Kenney, for example, expressed misgivings about forging closer ties with China as recently as this spring. Several cabinet ministers, including Kenney, feel China “is a godless totalitarian country with nuclear weapons aimed at us,’’ Evans said. “China is difficult for any govern-
ment anywhere; it’s really complicated and high-stakes terrain. “But, in Canada, you have a significant portion of cabinet, caucus and the Conservative base itself that is very negative about China.’’ Canadians at large, in fact, appear to have misgivings about China as well. In its annual national poll, the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada found that a declining number of Canadians believe China is highly important to Canada’s prosperity. Perhaps due to the prickly nature of the Canada-China relationship, Harper’s visit has a heavy focus on trade and economics, with the prime minister leading a Canadian business delegation to the industrial city of Hangzhou on Friday and Saturday before heading to the capital, Beijing, for two more days of meetings. He’ll also be on hand for the first day of APEC meetings before travelling back to Canada for Remembrance Day ceremonies on Parliament Hill. Harper’s antipathy towards China was more ideological during his early years in office, said Gordon Betcherman, a professor at the School of International Development and Global Studies at the University of Ottawa. But, in recent years, despite opposition within his cabinet and caucus, “realpolitik’’ has taken hold, he added. “The Chinese need us, and we certainly need them,’’ Betcherman said. “China is a country that is rapidly and dramatically becoming an economic powerhouse, so a country like Canada that’s focused on exports — at the end of the day you have to be pretty flexible in dealing with them.’’ However, Harper’s trip to China could ease some recent wounds, he added. “My guess is if we stick to trade and economics, the relationship can be repaired,’’ he said. John Manley, head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, said Canada can continue to have a dialogue with China on human rights, regional security and cyberspying while promoting stronger economic ties at the same time. He pointed out New Zealand — a country that places a high value on human rights, rule of law and democracy, as Canada does — has benefited enormously under a free-trade agreement with China. Australia, meantime, is negotiating a free-trade pact.

‘I have a big, soft heart for animals’ Kamloops woman who took in cats concerned over growing population From page B1
Bauer first encountered the colony last January, when she spotted two kittens sitting in the driveway of the unoccupied home across the street. Worried about their chances of survival during a cold snap, she took over some water. Water turned into
food, and more cats started coming out of the woodwork. As the cats reproduced, Bauer found herself caring for the family on her own property. “I didn’t mean to do it, I was just trying to help out,” she said. “But I have a big, soft heart for animals.”
Over time, Bauer and the cats have become comfortable with each other. When work at the Gemstone Care Centre keeps her away from home at feeding time, the cats will line up on her porch to wait for the ice cream pail of food they eat every day. “It’s costing me a
fortune in cat food,” Bauer said. There are other problems associated with the colony as well. The cats aren’t popular with neighbours, who don’t enjoy having their yards used as litter boxes, or the tires of their vehicles sprayed. With more kittens on the way and cold

It’s really sad because it’s not their fault. It’s not their fault someone didn’t take care of them.
”
weather approaching, Bauer worries the situation has reached a breaking point. “Our neighbourhood is going to explode with cats,” she said. With the help of the Kamloops SPCA, Bauer is in the process of trapping the cats oneby-one. But, with resources at the city’s animalcare societies stretched thin and few options for dealing with wild cats, the future for Bauer’s feline dinner guests looks grim. “I think what people don’t realize is they’re not adoptable cats,” said Jen Breckenridge of the Kamloops SPCA. While some ferals can be successfully adopted out, usually to people looking for barn cats, Breckenridge said in most cases wild cats are a danger to humans, and can cause serious injuries. SPCA staff have dealt with their fair share of scratches and bites bringing in feral cats for spaying and neutering — usually done outside of work on a volunteer basis. Wearing armpitlength leather gloves is often a must. “They’re like little cougars if they have to be,” Breckenridge said. While kittens can
be domesticated, the window for trapping and handling them is small, about 12 weeks according to Kamloops Humane Society executive director Barbara Zibrik. Both the SPCA and Humane Society favour TNR, or trapneuter-return, which stops the spread of the colony but leaves it in its preferred habitat. However, that policy has its downsides as well. For one, it’s difficult to ensure a colony has been fully sterilized — in part, Zibrik said, because people will often dump their unwanted cats with existing colonies if they learn of their locations. There’s also the issue of disease and injuries. Without vaccinations, the cats can be carriers of feline leukaemia or AIDS. One of the cats Bauer is feed has a swollen leg, which could require a $2,000 amputation — but, because the cat can’t be adopted, Breckenridge said there is little that can be done to help aside from euthanasia. Once the neutered cats are released back to their homes they must be fed and watered daily, a job the

Humane Society takes on around the city. A feral colony usually has a life span of three to four years. While that’s short for a cat, neighbours who are sick of midnight cat fights and pee on their property don’t always see it that way. “The more we do this, the more barriers we run into,” Breckenridge said. “We don’t have the staff, we don’t have the funding, we don’t have the support from the neighbourhood and the community.” Zibrik said a colony can start when an owner decides to abandon their un-neutered cat to the streets or wild. If that cat breeds, and its kittens manage to survive, they can have litters of their own within five months, compounding the problem. That’s the experience of Nancy Wahn, who has spent about seven years dealing with the feral colony in her downtown Kamloops neighbourhood. Wahn said she’s dealt with more than 20 feral cats in that time — feeding them, but also trapping them one-by-one and having them fixed at her own expense — all of which appear to have been attracted to the neighbourhood by a single unspayed female cat she calls Blanche. Once she was able to trap Blanche, the colony’s population started to stabilize. Both Wahn and Bauer say they’re frustrated people allow their pets to wander around unfixed, or abandon them for others to take care of. “There’s way too much of that much of that, people who should not have cats and when they do they don’t take care of them,” said Wahn. “It’s really sad because it’s not their fault,” added Bauer. “It’s not their fault someone didn’t take care of them.”

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a bargain with a starting price of $64,495.
HELLCAT REDEFINES AMERICAN MUSCLE
JIM ROBINSON METROLAND MEDIA wheels.ca
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the fastest full-size sedan in the world — period. This made-in-Brampton road rocket redefines the meaning of North American muscle. With its 707 h.p. supercharged 6.2-litre Hemi V8, it covers the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds on
street tires, not slicks. With a top-speed limited to 204 mph, the performance eyepopper is a zero to 100 to zero m.p.h. in less than 13 seconds. With a bargain basement starting price of $64,495, the only full-sized sedan that comes close is the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG with 577 h.p. turbo V8 at $158,400 or perhaps the 621 h.p. V12 S65 at $249,500. Talk about bang for the buck.
It starts as a SRT (Street and Racing Technologies) equipped Charger and then gets the very special “Hellcat” engine, thus the model name, and marks the first time Dodge has gone to supercharging. It is so strongly built the crank can deal with combustion pressures of 110 bar (1,595 psi), which is roughly the same as having the weight of five sedans standing on each piston

through two revolutions. And, speaking of revs, it has been tested to 13,000 r.p.m. At this writing NRCan fuel consumption numbers were still to be calculated. Just walking up to it lets you know this is really something different with a larger power bulge in the hood, plus cold-air intake as well at two air extractors to exhaust heat and air turbulence.
The front fascia and grille are blacked out, giving it a sinister look, abetted by the front air splitter with cooling ducts. While there is a strong family resemblance between the new Charger and the outgoing model, all body panels, the exterior trim and the lights (all LED except for the projector headlights) have been changed.

DRIVEWAY
One full-sized sedan, two different fobs From page B3
The 20-inch sevenspoke aluminum wheels come in standard-matte black but there is an interesting bronze colour called Brass Monkey. Tires are Pirelli P Zero three-seasons and Y rated for the high speeds the Hellcat can obtain. The 0-100-0 mph time is due to the 15.4-inch twin rotor Brembo brakes up front. The size of dinner platters, the rotors have six-piston calipers are the biggest brakes ever on a Dodge. Power goes to the rear wheels via a new heavy-duty
eight-speed transmission. A new feature called Drive Modes lets the driver customize driving response by controlling the transmission shift speed, engine power, paddle shifters, traction and suspension. There are three basic modes for the Hellcat — street, sport or track. Perhaps the neatest thing is the Hellcat comes with two key fobs. The red fob makes full power available, while the black fob provides reduced power. There is a also a valet mode reducing engine speed to 4,000 rpm and also disabling the paddle
shifters, locking out first gear and launch control while having stability control locked on full-on. A four-digit PIN the driver selects can deactivate the valet mode. The Hellcat may have started out as a humble family sedan, but you’d never know it by the interior, which is driveroriented starting with the SRT-branded seats and flatbottom, heated steering wheel. Main instrumentation consists of a new seveninch thin-film transistor (TFT) customizable digital instrument gauge cluster and a new instrument
panel centre stack with the latest generation 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen media centre. Just a small sampling of the technology in the Hellcat includes the optional Uconnect Access system, Uconnect Access Services with roadside assistance, theft-alarm notification, voice texting, new 3-D navigation and the ability to turn the Charger into a Wi-Fi hotspot. But it is the driving you want to know about and everything the Dodge people promised is there. At startup, there is a big heave as the crank rolls through its first revolution
and comes to life with a low rumble that lifts with the slightest prod of the pedal. Stab the pedal and Hellcat comes off the line like a cannon shell from a howitzer and, believe it not, builds from there. Under full throttle the supercharger is spinning at 14,000 rpm and uses 30,000 litres of air per minute – yes per minute. That leads to the most wonderful high-pitched supercharger whine that, combined with the basso tone of the exhaust, is the kind of thing you read about but rarely experience.
Even at idle, blip the throttle and there is a sharp snap from the exhaust. Rolling through hill country of West Virginia, there was a chance to toy with suspension settings and drive modes but, with all the torque, the normal street mode is all you need. The big Brembos are effective but not grabby. The brake pedal is firm, but you can modulate it with proper application. The seats are more luxury car than sports sedan in feel and support, but the big bolsters hold you in well enough. During the presentation

Mason Thomas William (Bill) Thomas William (Bill) Mason was born March 20, 1928 in Humboldt, Sask. Bill went to soar with the eagles October 25th, 2014 at 3:43am. Bill is survived by his daughter Judy Hodgson (son in law Tiberio De Medeiros), Terree Blow (son in law, Bob Cochrane); granddaughter Jenna Venables (Scott); grandson Tanner Hodgson (Lindy); granddaughter Macy Blow and great grandson McKai Venables. He is also survived by his sisters Evelyn Barton (Don), Helen Neroni, Myrna Mason, Diana Loeppky; sister in law Donna Fourchalk Mason; Jack Fletcher and numerous nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his father Thomas Rodger Mason and his mother Tama Ann Mason (nee: Richardson); his younger brother Ken and his older sisters Grayce Bussey and Verna Fletcher. T.W. Mason was an Artillery Sergeant in the Canadian Army. He was involved in peace keeping in Egypt. He lived in the Rayleigh Army Camp in Kamloops, the Dundurn Army Camp in Saskatoon, Winnepeg DND. After retiring from the army he worked at Automart and the Post OfďŹ ce in Kamloops. He coached his younger daughter in Kamloops minor softball, loved to watch the Kamloops Chiefs, Rockets and was a devoted Canucks and Lions fan. He spent over ten summers in Eagle Bay (Shimmering Waters) on the Shuswap. Bill spent 17 years in a row vacationing a few weeks a year in Waikiki and then the past 15 years in a row spending a month a year with Lady Di, his very special friends (the staff) at the Hotel Eloisa, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Bill loved the sand and the sun and he loved his family. The family would like to thank Dr. Enns, Dr. Son, the nurses and physio staff on the 5th oor at Chilliwack General Hospital for their compassionate care during the month of May. More recently Dr. MacIntosh, the nurses, the physio staff, the care aides and everyone who had contact with Bill at Cheam Village, Agassiz for their compassion and care. Everyone at Cheam Village went above and beyond and for this we will be forever grateful. Lastly we would like to thank Brenda Milns for just being her. There is no service by request.

Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage.Working with a partner is a great way to get things done.
Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they’re out in the light of day.You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets.

BY ART & CHIP SAMSOM
Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings.
Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around.
The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed,Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling.
