Glendene Grant couldn’t look at the pictures of Neal Falls. An Oregon man who was shot and killed by an escort in West Virginia as he tried to strangle her on July 18, Falls is being investigated in connection with the death and dismemberment of several women in the Nevada area. The investigation may also be linked to the disappearance of Grant’s daughter, Jessie Foster, who was working in the Las Vegas area as an escort when she went missing in 2006. “When I first looked at his picture, JESSIE I could not look, I looked away. I had FOSTER to close my eyes, I had to turn my head,” Grant told KTW. “Something about his eyes . . . he just gave me the creeps. There was something monstrous about him that I couldn’t even look at.” To this day, Grant believes her daughter is alive, a feeling she can NEAL FALLS only attribute to what she calls a heart string — a connection she shares with all of her children. Though she knew she was staring at a monster when pictures of Falls began to surface, Grant isn’t convinced the 45-year-old had anything to do with her daughter’s disappearance. “I’ve never really had much of a feeling that there is a full connection to Jessie with him,” she said. “That’s never changed.” See MOTHER, A10

Leong reaches plea agreement CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam @kamloopsthisweek.com

A former veteran Kamloops councillor has struck a deal to avoid trial on six criminal charges stemming from his role as treasurer of the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society. Joe Leong will instead plead guilty to contravening two sections of the Society Act. Leong’s defence lawyer, Ken Walker, appeared in B.C. Supreme Court yesterday to set the Aug. 11 date, when guilty pleas to two counts will be entered. Leong will also be sentenced on that day. In return for pleas under the act, two counts each of fraud, theft over $5,000

and breach of trust will be stayed by the Crown. Walker said there will be a joint sentencing submission proposed together with the Crown. He declined to provide details on that submission. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison confirmed the agreement. The charges were laid in 2013 after Kamloops RCMP was asked by city administration to look into the finances of the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society, where Leong served for years as treasurer. After an audit of the society’s books was completed, the city still had questions about the group’s accounting practices and what appeared to be two instances of $100,000 being moved out of society bank accounts for several months, then returned.

The audit was called for after Leong’s successor as treasurer of the society had questions about some of the bookkeeping. Walker said the sections of the Society Act that Leong will plea to contravening involve duties of directors and disclosure of outside interests.

KGHM willing to ante up for city study ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city council may ask KGHM Ajax to help fund its review of the company’s mine application — and, if it does, KGHM is willing to ante up. Council will today decide how it will approach the mining company’s application for environmental review for its proposed copper and gold project south of Aberdeen. City staff is asking council to add $300,000 to the environmental services budget to hire SLR Consulting to help with the review of the Ajax application, which could be in the hands of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) by the end of the summer.

Council set aside $50,000 in 2012 to deal with the Ajax application, about half of which has already been spent. The rest of the funds could come entirely from the city’s general reserve fund, but staff is suggesting council ask KGHM Ajax to help cover the costs of the review. The mining company would not be involved in hiring SLR Consulting. Public works director Jen Fretz said SLR Consulting is the only company her staff could identify that has no work ties to KGHM and which has experience conducting reviews of this type. Should council choose to ask, KGHM Ajax is willing to contribute to an independent city review of its mine application. “We see value in the city’s pursuit of an

independent third-party assessment of the Ajax EA application,” KGHM Ajax spokesman Robert Koopmans said in a statement. “Such reviews have the potential to bring Kamloops residents clarity and comfort about the science behind the Ajax project. “We support the idea of proponents providing communities with capacity funding as part of the environmental-assessment process. “This is an issue that is coming to be recognized across the global resource development industry as a best practice. KGHM is happy to be at the forefront of this effort in B.C. and Canada.” It’s not the first time KGHM has offered to help pay for a review of its own project.

SHEAR LUCK NOBODY INJURED

A 45-year-old man was arrested on Friday evening after the driver of a pickup truck crashed into a parked car before shearing off this pole in the 900-block of Lorne Street, cutting power to area residents. The crash took place at 5:30 p.m. and saw the truck driven away. Police later found the truck in the 1000-block of Fraser Street in South Kamloops. Charges of failing to stop at the scene of an accident and dangerous driving are pending.

Sunday crash claims life of driver RCMP and the BC Coroners Service are investigating a single-vehicle accident on Sunday that killed a 23-year-old man. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Michael Buxton-Carr said the

crash occurred at about 5:10 a.m. on Highway 5 North near Heffley Creek. A southbound car left the highway and flipped several times. The driver and sole occu-

pant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. While the investigation into the cause of the accident continues, Buxton-Carr said speed is believed to have played a part.

Crime continues to drop in the Tournament Capital, with Kamloops Mounties posting more decreases in the second quarter of 2015. At the city’s police committee meeting yesterday, RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller reported a 3.1 per cent drop in actual reported offences compared to the same period in 2014, from 3,733 to 8,317. “We’ve worked extremely hard,” Mueller told the committee. “You can measure success and argue the stats, but I think some of the hard work and accomplishments are reflected in that reduction of numbers.” Crimes against people fell 4.4 per cent compared to this time last year and drug crimes were down 5.2 per cent. Property crimes were also down slightly, falling from 1,500 to 1,489 compared to last year. Mueller said while car thefts and break and enters at businesses and residences were down this quarter, the department is seeing a rise in thefts from cars (which rose three per cent) and frauds (up 16 per cent, or 15 additional files), particularly mail and identity theft. In many cases, Mueller said, those who have had property stolen from their vehicles hadn’t taken care to prevent the thievery. “It still amazes me how some of the complaints we are receiving are vehicles left unlocked with some of the property items in plain view,” he said. Mueller suggested the increase in this kind of theft can be attributed to transient groups moving through the city, as well as an increase in meth use — which he tied to the recent bust of a Barnhartvale meth lab which produced several kilograms of the drug per week for sale locally and on the Coast.

Widow of radio DJ suing driver, employer The widow of a local radio DJ killed in a crash on the Trans-Canada Highway near Chase is suing the driver and trucking company, alleging the semi-trailer unit crossed into the wrong lane. Mike Evenson, 37, died after his car was involved in an accident with a logging truck on the morning of Dec. 4, 2014. He left behind two small children and his wife, Crystal. Evenson was a DJ with Radio NL in Kamloops. He was en route to work when

the collision occurred. The lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court names driver Marcus Dekerf and truck owner North-Way Log Trading Ltd. of Slocan Lake in the West Kootenays. It claims the accident was solely the fault of Dekerf, alleging he drove without due care and attention, did not obey markings or rules of the road and failed to keep his truck on the correct side of the highway. “The accident occurred when the

defendant, Dekerf, was driving the truck eastbound and the truck and/or log trailer crossed the centreline, dumping the logs on the deceased in his westbound vehicle, which crushed him . . .” the statement of claim says. Dekerf and North-Way Trading have yet to file a statement of defence. The lawsuit also alleges Dekerf may have dozed off. It also alleges he made a false statement to police after the crash.

City wants Canada Post to erase graffiti ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Can the City of Kamloops slap Canada Post with a fine? That’s the question under investigation by bylaw services after complaints from the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) about graffiti on mailboxes. KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said she’s been tracking graffiti on downtown post boxes, arguing it isn’t being cleaned up in a timely fashion. “I think Canada Post should be held to the same standards as my businesses,” Pooler said. The city’s bylaws require property owners to remove graffiti in a timely manner or face a fine. But, community safety manager Jon Wilson said, until recently, Canada Post boxes were the purview of the city’s graffiti task force, which ensured they would

“

I think Canada Post should be held to the same standards as my businesses.

”

— GAY POOLER GENERAL MANAGER KAMLOOPS CENTRAL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

be cleaned up within a reasonable time frame. Canada Post didn’t renew its contract with the task force and Wilson said the city is exploring next steps in the face of increased graffiti. “It is on public land, so there is some obligation out there to maintain to a certain standard,” Wilson said. Mayor Peter Milobar said he has tried to raise the issue

with the postal service and was told residents need to call Canada Post’s customer-service line. Once complaints are logged, the company claims it will remove graffiti within 48 hours. “I told them they’re not, but they said they certainly are, you just have to keep phoning,” Milobar said. A Canada Post spokesman gave KTW the same information. Graffiti considered “hateful” is supposed to be cleaned up by a contractor within 24 hours, while other tags have a two-day cleanup window. The spokesman was not able to identify who cleans up mail boxes in Kamloops now that the graffiti task force is off the job, but said Canada Post isn’t aware of any cleanup issues in Kamloops. He did offer to make sure mailboxes have been cleaned if the KCBIA provides a list of addresses of problem sites.

1,000 square feet of tagging wiped out THAT’S THE PER DAY TOTAL THIS SUMMER The head of Kamloops’ graffiti task force is calling it “the worst summer ever.” Ronnie Bouvier said her team has cleaned up or painted over an average of 1,000 square feet of graffiti per day since the start of July, with one marathon day bringing 3,000 square feet of tags and racial slurs. “We had to go at five in the morning to Riverside [Park] after Canada Day. We’ve never had to do that,” Bouvier told the city’s co-ordinated enforcement committee yesterday. “Every new thing the city put up was hit. Lots of vulgarity, lots of racial — even if it’s spelled wrong, you

know what the racial stuff is.” Parks have been hit particularly badly in the last month, Bouvier said, with Riverside needing attention multiple times per week. Some private strata development are also being hit with racial slurs and the task force had to repaint the Elks Lodge due to graffiti. Bouvier said the task force is looking at a fundraising campaign to purchase a walnut blaster, an environmentally friendly cleaning tool that costs about $20,000, to give it a new edge against the spray paint. “It’s an ideal machine,” she said. “It’s like using a vacuum.”

Rain helps cool forest-fire situation CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cool and wet weather over the weekend knocked back three area fires that had threatened structures. Both the Adams Lake West fire and Coldstream Creek fire, south of Ashcroft, are 100 per cent contained. The Bolean Lake fire, which threatened cabins and a fishing resort in the mountains above Falkland, is 75 per cent contained.

The B.C. Wildfire Branch said increased manpower and the weather helped the cause. “Definitely a combination of both,” spokeswoman Kelsey Winter said. “We ramped up on all the fires. At the same time, there was a significant downturn in the weather.” All evacuation alerts and orders have been rescinded. Winter said high humidity also helps keep fuels from drying out. Parts of the fire centre,

including near Vernon and Salmon Arm, saw significant rainfall, as much as 38 millimetres. The result is the fire risk has dropped substantially across the region. However, the campfire ban remains. Meanwhile, sunshine and high temperatures are returning, with today’s high of 27 to be followed by non-stop sunshine and highs into the mid-30s as the B.C. Day long weekend approaches.

Q. Mom worries that because her mom suffered from Alzheimer’s she will suffer the same fate. Can you share your thoughts on this subject. A. Rest assured there are many things your mom can do to help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. Keeping active is one of the most important elements of brain health. Regular exercise helps form new brain cells and reduces the risk factors for Alzheimer’s. Eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet aids in maintaining memory and reducing the risk of high cholesterol and stroke, which are risk factors for Alzheimer’s. Maintaining an active social life and companionship provides a solid foundation for building and maintaining good brain health habits. To maintain a healthy brain, you have to use it by learning new things, exercising your memory, solving puzzles and playing games. Keeping stress to a minimum aids in maintaining a healthy brain. A good night’s sleep is essential in helping you form and retain memories as well as helping to elevate mood and functioning. Choosing retirement community living offers you a comfortable stressfree home while assisting with all of these goals and more!

scientists and engineers and whatnot to do those studies because it’s up to the mine to prove that what they’re doing is safe in all ways,” she said. Coun. Donovan Cavers said he is unsure about taking the money and hasn’t decided if he’ll vote to do so. He worries the public may see the city’s review as compromised if it’s partially funded by KGHM. “It’s problematic, it’s definitely problematic,” he said. In addition to the funding question, council will be asked to decide when an open house on the mine’s

application should be held. Staff is recommending the public meeting take place near the start of the EAO’s 180day review of KGHM’s application. The timing would allow council to use public comments as part of the overall review of the application, but would not give council nor the public an opportunity to consider the consultant’s review. Two other options include hosting open houses midway through the review period or near the end of that time span.

$95-million to finish four-laning on Hwy. 1 CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Local federal and provincial politicians converged on a section of the Trans-Canada Highway on Friday to confirm funding of about $95 million to complete four-laning from Kamloops to Chase. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the announcement is a culmination of more than a decade of construction and planning. “It’s a huge amount of money — $95 million,” he said. The bulk of it, $76 million, comes from the province. The first construction phase is from the east end of Hoffman’s Bluff, which is under reconstruction now, through to Chase Creek Road. The second phase will see fourlaning through to the Petro-Canada station on the highway at the west end of Chase. Stone said the next

year will be spent in engineering, archeology and environmental study. There will also be community-engagement meetings. He hopes construction can begin late next year or early in 2017 on the next stage, east of Hoffman’s Bluff, with the second and final phase through to Chase done within five years. When it is complete, it will represent 24 kilometres of four-lane pavement from the Monte Creek interchange to Chase at a cost of about $205 million for a project first announced nearly a decade ago. The project was held up for years after First Nations skeletal remains were found by archaeologists working for the province in 2009. Soon after coming to office as transportation minister in 2013, however, Stone paved the way for an agreement to resume construction and planning.

Correction The National Council of Canadian Muslims does not have a formal membership, but is a nonprofit group that depends on individual donors for support. A story in the July 17 edition of KTW (‘Kamloops imam calls Senate proposal discriminatory,’) stated Imam Mazhar Mahmood was a member. Mahmood is a supporter.

Friday’s announcement is the latest in a string of pledges and construction contracts since.

Completion of the project is part of the province’s 10-year transportation plan. The federal govern-

ment’s $18.3-million contribution comes from the New Building Canada infrastructure fund.

COALITION MAY BE UNAVOIDABLE

egardless of when the official announcement is made, the federal election campaign has been underway for some time. Photo-ops of myriad funding announcements — some new, some rehashed — have exploded like the wildfires of B.C., while the requisite talk of coalitions has entered the campaign dialogue. Veteran B.C. NDP MP Nathan Cullen stirred the discussion again this month when he mused about his New Democrats and the Liberals forming a coalition after the Oct. 19 vote, the idea being a minority Conservative government could be topped by an NDP-Liberal coalition. Perhaps Cullen is aiming too late for such a coalition to have an effect in Ottawa. Perhaps the two parties needed to join forces well before this election campaign was even a speck in the political distance. We all know some recent political polls have been wrong. But, many have been on the mark. The latest poll at CBC’s ThreeHundredEight.com has the Conservatives and New Democrats in a deadlock, with the Liberals trailing. A Postmedia-commissioned poll has the Conservatives building a solid lead over the NDP, with the Liberals in third. It took a marriage of Reform (Canadian Alliance) and the Progressive Conservatives to finally knock off the Liberals, who held power for more than a decade. It appears it will take a similar union on the centre-left to oust the Conservatives for at least a four-year cycle. Based on the polls, we are looking at a minority government, with either the Conservatives or New Democrats standing atop a shaky Parliament. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has steadfastly refused to entertain a coalition with the NDP. After this election, if the polling numbers prove correct, Trudeau may have no other choice by the time voters next fill out their ballots.

Free trade in . . . logs?

ne of the rituals of life in southern B.C. communities is cross-border shopping for cer-

tain items. Even corner store owners are known to pop down to Washington border towns to load up a van with U.S. milk, taking advantage of a price difference generated by our supply-management system. The recent slide in the Canadian dollar reduces this pressure in the short term, but the fact remains dairy producers are propped up in Canada. That’s increasingly a problem as Canada pursues entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the next big trade deal. With the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries involved, it would form the largest trading bloc in the world. Canada uses tariffs of up to 300 per cent to protect its dairy and poultry industries from foreign imports — and the higher domestic price on milk and eggs is a burden that falls most heavily on poor people. The industry group Dairy Farmers of Canada and others argue that reducing or removing Canada’s import protection won’t change the huge farm subsidies paid by European and U.S. governments. The recent trade agreement between Canada and the European Union has already chipped away at this protection. The Conservative government is tiptoeing on this issue as a fall election approaches, with rural seats across the country at stake. But, the United Kingdom,

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Australia and New Zealand have deregulated their dairy industries and the Canadian industry is already facing increased cheese imports due to the European Union agreement. It’s an issue to watch as the federal election heats up. The NDP has positioned itself as a defender of supply management, a particularly touchy issue in rural Quebec, while the federal Liberals are committed to keeping up with the U.S. and joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The trend toward freer trade is broad and long. The Harper government ended the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012 and grain growers continue to compete globally. A trade deal with Korea saw tariffs come off Korean import vehicles and life goes on. Another controlled and protected commodity that is seldom discussed is logs. That has changed with the push for the Trans-Pacific Partnership as Japan protests federal and provincial restrictions that push up the cost of logs for export.

Ottawa regulates the export of private land logs, but only in B.C. This is a longstanding irritant for private land owners, holding the domestic price for premium J-grade Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre, while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100. The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production. Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills. The coastal industry has maintained profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.” B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better — and now it’s world class.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE TIME IS NOW FOR NEW ARTS CENTRE Editor: Thank you to both Mayor Peter Milobar and Dale Bass for their columns last week with much-needed information about the proposed performing-arts centre. Yes, it is time to get talking about it. Having retired here recently from big cities, I am amazed and delighted with so many groups and individuals — choirs, bands, orchestras, artists, dance and theatre groups — that infuse this city with a great variety of entertainment and many young people learning these skills. But, we are also missing out on entertainment we cannot accommodate. There is no $90-million sitting in a pot that could be spent on something else.

The money needed for this project will be raised only through grants and probably more donors. With Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, there is likely to be special grants available. What we are being asked to agree to is borrowing up to $48 million, which is like a mortgage. The time is now. As a volunteer usher at many events at Sagebrush Theatre — which is really a modified high school auditorium and in which union contracts prevent selling the upper house for many events — I can clearly see Kamloops is ready to have a proper performing-arts centre with good seating, access and technical facilities. It will make possible more performances

for everyone, from rock bands, individuals, artists, our Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and others too numerous to list. It is not for the elite any more than our wonderful sports facilities. It will, as donors the Fawcetts said, “balance” our public resources. It is now time to have a building on flat land with parking and proper facilities and near hotels and restaurants, as requested at the public forum. For us taxpayers, it is only going to cost less than four packs of cigarettes or a half-tank of gas for each of two years. We can do that. Colleen Stainton Kamloops

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ADD MILLIONS MORE IN CITY DEBT Editor: I was thinking about buying a new truck to replace my 2007 model that is running just fine and should last another eight years. I thought something new would be the route to go until I thought about another six or seven years of payments. Then I got thinking about the proposal for the arts centre and the debt it will generate.

I can’t buy into a proposal in which we will have to borrow large sums of money for something we really don’t need, not when the federal and provincial governments owe well over a trillion dollars collectively. Are we ever going to be able to pay all this money back, particularly when it becomes necessary to raise interest rates? Yes, it would be nice to revitalize

downtown, but at what cost when so many other things need attention? I don’t mind the city borrowing small sums of money with the expectation of paying it back in a short period of time. However, it should be for infrastructure because that is the city’s primary goal, to ensure its citizens have the basics. For crying out loud, there are

parts of the city without sewers. I guess I was out of the loop when city council allowed the new casino to go up the hill. I find this odd as it has always appeared to me councils have been pro-downtown. I would have thought it will be a loss to the area and runs counter to the revitalization plan. Dave Brummund Kamloops

THE DISGUSTING SECRETS OF GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATIONS Editor: As a manager of a business, I must do due diligence and have contracted a private investigator for these times. As a citizen of a city with a proposed $90-million performing-arts centre to vote on, I feel it is my duty to inform my community of

how the tendering process works. The private investigator I contracted, Darryl Tedford, had an office in Kamloops years ago and knows this city. Go online to Tedford’s ebook at privateinvestigatorone.com go and click on “Types of Investigations, then scroll

down to “Contract Tendering.” This is a must-read. It may be worthwhile to consider crowdfunding due diligence on this proposal. Richard Lodmell Kamloops

Mother ready for closure From A1

When police searched Falls’ vehicle, they found weapons a shovel, axes, knives, bleach and a list of names. The names were all of escorts. Grant admits she can’t know for sure what has happened to her daughter. As police continue to investigate Falls, they may very well discover he has something to do with Foster’s disappearance.

If Falls does have some connection to her daughter, Grant feels she will already be on the road to getting some semblance of closure. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it — what if he is connected to the women and what if Jessie is one of them?” Grant said. “If I found out this person killed my daughter, I would actually have part of my healing process already started

because he is dead. I would not have to wonder: Will they catch him? Will they convict him? Will he harm other people? “Every time something comes up — a burned body in Texas, a body in the desert — I always say I don’t believe it will be Jessie because I think Jessie is still alive. But, in my own brain, I think, what if? What if this is the time and what if this is the answer? It’s

not what you want, but it’s still an answer.” Grant said it could be wishful thinking that has her believing her daughter is still alive, that her disappearance isn’t connected to Falls. She admits it could be something her subconscious has done to protect her so she can stay strong and continue the search. She said she’s happy to again be talking about her daughter — hopeful police might finally find some answers for her and her family. Grant is ready for closure. “I’m 10 years into Jessie being taken to Las Vegas, almost 10 years since she has been missing. Somehow, I feel like I’m ready for any answer. Horrific or not, I’m thinking that I’m ready,” Grant said. “If they called me up, I would be ready to hear what they had to say.”

For Gaby P-Chamberlain — who, portraying the classic, tragic heroine from Romeo and Juliet, has a lengthy speech — it was a chance to achieve some new clarity. “He gave us so many great pointers,” she said of the time Weddell spent with them. “My monologue is so different now. It’s so cool.” For Megan Martin, who plays a Starbucks habitue with a true Valley Girl voice, it was an opportunity to learn just how important every word in the script should be. “He told us we have to know what every word means,” she said. “Because if we don’t, we really can’t be the character.” Briefly explained, I Hate Shakespeare is a takedown of the Bard’s classics, complete with an

THE HEARTBEAT OF VERSE From B1

“An actor once told me, ‘I don’t know who I am until I find the right shoes.’ It’s about how to walk through the space,” Weddell said. As for those facing the challenge of Shakespeare’s original words, written in verse, Weddell told them to say them as if they have a heartbeat. He took the time to review some of the words the students weren’t familiar with and, when asked about his favourite play, told them it was King Lear. Gaby and Megan, both veterans of the camp at five years for Gaby and four for Megan, said they share another reality beyond their love of acting. Five minutes before the theatre goes from black to lights and the play has begun, they’re both nervous. “‘I’m like, wow,” Gaby said. “And then, once I’m on stage, it’s like, whoa, and it’s all good.” For Megan, the nerves also jingle as she waits for her entrance. “But, once I’m on, it’s all good.” She said her nerves are also fairly on edge through the school year.

It was a unique experience and a pretty proud moment for Stage One to be able to do this.” She said she’s not as familiar with Shakespeare’s plays as others are. “But, I love this play. It’s a funny play. And if you are familiar with him, if you do love Shakespeare, this play takes some of those moments you know and turns them around and makes them so funny.” Other instructors include Allison Clow, Jessica Buchanan and WCT education co-ordinator Terri Runnalls.

ries to tell about those songs, about moments in the past that led to them, about how just one year after thenband members Fogerty and Doug Clifford were released from military service, CCR released Born on the Bayou on Jan. 1, 1969, and started a ride that led the band to the top of the charts. This wasn't just about Fogerty, though. He ensured each of his band members had solo moments, with drummer Kenny Aronoff, bass guitarist James LoMenzo, Devon Pangle on rhythm guitar and keyboardist Bob Malone taking over the spotlight. But, some of

the most touching moments were when Fogerty stepped back for son Shane to shred his guitar and then joined him for some wailing duos. It's music that transcends generations. The audience had representation from almost every decade and it seemed like everyone knew every song and was there to sing along. And can the man ever perform. Joking about his collection of guitars and his need to bring many of them along for every show, Fogerty made his way through a Les Paul — his signature CCR guitar — a Rickenbacker, a Gibson and even one in the shape of a base-

ball bat for Centerfield, running from one side of the stage to the other, then jogging back to his mic. There's a saying that if you remember the 1960s, you really weren't there. But, CCR in 1969 — that was music worth remembering and celebrating. There really never has been another band like Creedence Clearwater, nor a singer/songwriter like Fogerty. Liner notes: It was nice to see the stage at the end of the arena so the audience capacity could be bigger. It would be great to see that done more often . . . Fogerty brought the full deal

ive him credit — John Fogerty knows there was so much more to 1969 than the three seminal albums he and his band released that year. Much was remembered during the video on that iconic year that preceded the Fogerty concert on Friday night at Interior Savings Centre as he reminisced about Woodstock, a man landing on the moon, The Beatles recording their last album and Richard Nixon being elected president of the U.S. It was also the year Creedence Clearwater Revival released Bayou Country, Green River and Willie and the Poor Boys — and with them came the hits: Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, Bad Moon Rising and Susie Q. That wasn't the whole discography from the year that saw the band really start to make it big, but they were all on the set list when the video ended, the stage lights came up and Fogerty walked out to an almost full house that was up on its feet almost immediately and continued that way, dancing in the aisles and singing along for the two-hour show. This was more than just a walk down memory lane for many of us. It was a visit with an old friend who had sto-

Pool closed until Aug. 7

The Canada Games Pool is out of commission for two weeks following a break in the two-and-a-half foot pipe that supplies water. The closure began

on July 23, at 6:30 p.m., and will last until Aug. 7. Aquatics program supervisor Heidi Ogilvie said a city staffer discovered the break last Thursday during a

daily inspection of the pipes. “He identified some water in a place where it normally wasn’t and was quick on the draw and got everything looked at,”

Ogilvie said. Cost of the repair is estimated at $10,000 and will come from the maintenance budget. Ogilvie said she isn’t sure what caused the break, but noted the

We’re building the path to the future.

pipe is large and more than 20 years old. City staff normally shut the pool for a month each summer to do maintenance. This year’s closure was scheduled from Aug. 24 to Sept. 7, but is being pushed up to coincide with repairs to the water pipe. “It’s going to take a significant amount of time, probably upwards of 12 days, to drain the tank and repair the pipe and then start back up again, so we’ve decided to do our shutdown earlier rather than later and get everything done at once,” Ogilvie said. The closure won’t affect the rest of the Tournament Capital Centre, but will include other pool amenities, including the hot tub and sauna, where preventive maintenance and cleaning will also take place. While lessons at the pool are on hold, Ogilvie said spaces are still available at other pools and the city will consider adding more classes if there is enough demand. Another set of lessons will take place at the Canada Games Pool starting Aug. 24.

RiverDogs snare silver at provincials MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

t might not have been the reason they lost the game, but one bad hop was still on Sean Wandler’s mind a day after his Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs claimed their second consecutive silver medal at the midget AAA provincial baseball championship in Nanaimo on Sunday. The manager watched a seemingly routine ground ball bounce wildly over his first baseman’s head in the sixth inning of the championship showdown with No. 1-seed Ridge Meadows. “It hit something on the inflield, shot up and went over his head,” Wandler said. “It was just unfortunate. It wasn’t even an error.” “A hit and run got him to third and a sacfly scored him.” It turned out to be the winning run in a

tremendous final that saw Kamloops starter Tobin Huffman throw only 56 pitches in six innings of work — a four-hit performance the RiverDogs were unable to back up with hits when they needed them most, stranding nine men on base. Ridge Meadows won 2-1. Kamloops outhit its opponent 8-4 and had runners on first and second with two outs in the top of the seventh and final inning, the table set for Riley Jepson, the Dogs’ best hitter. “He battled with an eight-pitch at-bat, with two strikes, and every swing he’s just missing and the crowd’s going nuts,” Wandler said. “Kudos to their pitcher. He was able to sneak a curve ball by him. That was it. It went down to the wire. “For a team that was completely favoured to win it, we scared the bejesus out of them.” Jepson, who had Kamloops’ only RBI in the Sunday showdown, spoke to KTW yesterday and was still feeling the sting of defeat.

“There was a lot of emotions,” Jepson said of the last swing in his stellar career with the local midget AAA team. “You didn’t want to end it that way. “But, I thought it was a pretty good weekend overall. We made it further than most people thought we would. We put it all together.” Ridge Meadows blazed through the regular season, posting a 38-4 record to earn its standing as tournament favourite. Kamloops had an outstanding campaign, with 28 wins and 14 losses, and again exceeded expectations at provincials. The RiverDogs, who last flew the B.C. title banner on home soil in 2011, lost 11-5 to the Tri-City Indians in the 2014 final. Kamloops finished the 2015 roundrobin 3-1, with wins over West Kelowna, Aldergrove and Chilliwack, and a loss in a mean-nothing tilt against Vancouver to cap pool play on Saturday. “Looking at how far we came from the Best of the West Tournament at the begin-

ning of the year, where we didn’t win a game and how rough we looked, compared to last weekend, we were an entirely different ball team,” Wandler said. “The guys came together and bought into what we were trying to do.” Jepson, Bryant Jameus, Connor McKenzie and Lance Martin are the graduating RiverDogs, who will likely feature a strong core of Grade 11s next season. “I don’t know if we’re really going to have the overall talent we’ve had for these last couple years,” Wandler said. “We’ll just have to see.” Wandler is proud of his team’s accomplishments, knowing they were one bad break and a few base hits away from finishing atop the podium. “They were a class act all the way through and I couldn’t be happier with the way we played all the way around,” the manager said. “Sometimes the bounces go your way and sometimes they don’t.”

Brad Yamaoka’s head coaching debut turned into an all-out offensive blitz, a bombarding air attack that propelled the Kamloops Broncos to their most-lopsided victory in team history. Quarterback Stephen Schuweiler completed 13 of 19 passes for a whopping 467 yards and seven touchdown hookups in his squad’s 72-17 blowout of the Valley Huskers in Chilliwack in B.C. Football Conference play on Saturday. “I hope people have taken notice of it and are curious to see what the Kamloops Broncos are about this year,” said Yamaoka, who took the reins from Duncan Olthuis in November. “Moving into this weekend, it’s going to be a great opportunity

for them to see us.” Expectations have never been higher for Kamloops, which will welcome defending BCFC champion Langley to Hillside Stadium on Sunday for a rematch of their epic playoff showdown in 2014, when the Rams held on for dear life to win 48-46. Game time is 7 p.m. The Broncos have waited all off-season to prove the thrilling playoff defeat to the Lower-Mainland powerhouse was not an anomaly and their franchise-best 6-4 regular-season record in 2014 was indicative of a vastly improved team, despite all six victories coming against the confer-

ence’s traditionally weaker teams in an unbalanced schedule. “If we can go out there and show everybody that wasn’t just a fluke, a one-time shot, then people will start taking notice,” Yamaoka said. Langley opened the campaign with a losing effort in Nanaimo on Saturday, falling 22-14 to the Vancouver Island Raiders at Caledonia Park. “They’re coming in here 0-1, so they’re going to be hungry for a win and our guys feel like they have something to prove from last year’s playoff game,” Yamaoka said. In other weekend BCFC action, the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna lambasted the Westshore Rebels of Langford 78-7 in the Little Apple. The Broncos took another step toward legitimacy with the destruction of the Huskers — a game in which the visitors pulled many of their starters in the third quarter. Offensive co-ordinator Mike Faisthuber commanded one of the nation’s mostpotent junior football units last season and, with nearly all of its big guns returning, the

O was expected to be a threat again in 2015. Putting up 700 yards of total offence exceeded expectations. Valley often opted to use man coverage to contain the Broncos’ receivers and the pass-catchers had a field day, with B.C. Lions’ prospect Derek Yachison and impressive wideout Devin Csincsa doing most of the damage. Yachison caught five passes for 191 yards and four touchdowns, while Csincsa finished with four receptions, 160 yards and two touchdowns. “It’s one of those games I like to call a legacy game for a lot of us fifth-year guys who have been around through all the bad times,” Yachison said, referring to Sunday’s grudge match against Langley. “We’re all grown up now and it’s time to show that to the league.” Connor Whitelaw relieved Schuweiler under centre and efficiently went about his business, completing six of nine passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns and scrambling for 33 yards on one carry. Yamaoka tempered

his praise with criticisms on both sides of the ball, saying untimely penalties — which have hampered the Broncos since their inception — extended the home team’s drives and led to points. The running game needs work, said Yamaoka, although Jacob Palmarin scampered for 75 yards and one score on a day when Faisthuber made the passing game his primary weapon. Team brass identified the defence as its main concern in the off-season and it held up against Valley, which finished with 259 yards of total offence, but the Kamloops D’s first real test will come on Sunday, when Yamaoka aims to start his bench-boss career 2-0. “It was nice to have [defensive co-ordinator] Todd Graham and Todd Wiseman helping out on D,” Yamaoka said. “It’s great having knowledgeable people beside you who make you look a lot better. “I know it’s a long weekend but, hopefully, people can take a Sunday evening out of their weekend and come check out some football.”

JAYS AMONG CONTENDERS NOAH TRISTER

PAOLA LORIGGIO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Oakland Athletics have lost four in a row and already traded one of their top pitchers when they sent Scott Kazmir to Houston. They are nobody’s idea of a contender. Yet Oakland — with the worst record in the American League — is only nine games behind the second wild card. It’s been over a half-century since an entire league was within nine games of a post-season spot at this point in the year, and what’s happening in the AL speaks not only to the effect of an extra wild card — but also to a level of parity that has become the norm in baseball in recent years. On the morning of July 27, 1958, the entire eight-team National League was within 8.5 games of first place, according to STATS LLC. There were no divisions and no wild cards back then, so a team had to finish first to make the postseason. The Milwaukee Braves and San Francisco Giants were tied atop the NL at 51-41. Philadelphia was in last place at 41-48. The Braves eventually pulled away and won the pennant by eight games over Pittsburgh, with the last-place Phillies 23 back. Maybe this year’s AL will sort itself out in similar fashion, but with the trade deadline approaching, even teams who haven’t looked like playoff material are hanging around. Minnesota (52-46) holds the second wild card at the moment, but there are six teams within five games of the Twins, including the Chicago White Sox, who were eight games under .500 before taking four in a row from Cleveland. Texas has lost 19 of its last 29 but trails the Twins by only 4 1/2 games. Tampa Bay has lost 21 of 30 but is only four back. Last year was the first time since 2007 that there were no 100-game winners or 100-game losers in baseball, and in the AL this year, only AL Central-leading Kansas City looks like much of a threat to reach triple digits. Even the aforementioned A’s, who got off to a 14-30 start, are on pace to finish with only 91 losses. When nobody is terrible and hardly anyone is great, it’s hard for anybody to be too far behind.

Toronto pondering 2024 Olympics bid THE CANADIAN PRESS

Manager John Gibbons is under pressure to take the Toronto Blue Jays into the postseason and his team is within striking distance. Toronto is in action today.

Here are a few more developments from around baseball:

STRIKING DISTANCE

The team closest to catching the Twins for that wild card is Toronto, which is 50-50 despite having outscored its opponents by a whopping 95 runs on the season. The Blue Jays lead the major leagues in runs and look like a definite candidate to add some pitching at the deadline. They have not made the postseason since winning the World Series in 1993, and they’ve finished higher than third in their division only once since.

FANTASY FOCUS

Johnny Cueto’s move from Cincinnati to the Royals gives the right-hander a chance to pitch for a first-place team, and it could also make his fantasy owners happy, now that he’ll be working in

front of that Kansas City defence.

LINE OF THE WEEK

Cole Hamels’ 294th start for the Philadelphia Phillies was certainly a memorable one. His no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday calmed some of the concerns about his trade value after he pitched poorly in his previous two outings. The left-hander is actually one of the game’s most consistent starters. For example, his opponents had an on-base percentage of .295 in 2013, .296 in 2014 and .297 so far in 2015.

BIRD WATCHING

The Jays and Philadelphia Phillies will play today at Rogers Centre, with game time set for 4:07 p.m. Felix Doubront (1-0) is expected to start for Toronto and Adam Morgan (1-2) will take to the mound for Philadelphia.

TORONTO — Boston’s withdrawal from the race to host the 2024 Summer Olympics could make a potential Toronto bid “far more attractive,” particularly if no other American city steps up to the plate, experts said yesterday. “The Boston decision today [July 27] certainly makes the landscape easier for a Canadian bid, a Toronto bid,’’ said Bruce Kidd, an Olympics expert at the University of Toronto. “With no U.S. bid, a Canadian bid has a much stronger argument,’’ he said, noting that by 2024, it will have been almost three decades since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the last time the Summer Games were held in North America. A spokesman for the U.S. Olympic Committee said yesterday the organization has severed ties with Boston, where the prospect of a bid for the ‘24 Summer Games was met with low public support and an active opposition group. Little time remains for the organization to find another potential host city — the deadline to register interest with the International Olympic Committee is Sept. 15. There is speculation Los Angeles could be in the running. Meanwhile, there’s talk of a third Toronto

Olympic bid following the city’s successful Pan Am Games, which wrapped up Sunday. Toronto Mayor John Tory said he wants to let the dust settle before making a decision, adding that officials will conduct a “careful analysis’’ to determine whether a bid is in the city’s best interest. “They say it’s not a good idea to go grocery shopping when you’re hungry and in the euphoria of what were a tremendously successful (Pan Am) Games . . . this is a serious, rational decision that has to be made,’’ Tory said. The head of the Canadian Olympic Committee wants to forge ahead with the pitch and the president of the Canadian Paralympic Committee has also thrown his support behind the idea. Organizers for the Pan Am Games have said they should have ballpark figures for the total cost of the event before the bid deadline. Toronto had unsuccessfully bid for the Olympics twice, most recently for the 2008 Summer Games, when it came second to Beijing. Bids were also discussed on three other occasions but not officially filed. The IOC rated Toronto’s 2008 bid favourably on infrastructure and technical ability, but raised concerns about its commitment to supporting sports in the community.

Hogan no hero after racist rant THE CANADIAN PRESS

STAMFORD, Conn. — World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. has severed ties with Hulk Hogan amid a report that one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history used racial slurs in a conversation caught on a sex tape. The company deleted most references to Hogan on its website and issued a statement Friday saying it had terminated its contract with him. WWE did not give a reason, but issued a statement saying it is “committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all

backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.’’ On Friday, a joint report from RadarOnline.com and National Enquirer said that Hogan had used racial slurs in a conversation caught on a sex video that is the subject of an invasion of privacy lawsuit. In a statement, the 61-yearold Hogan apologized for using “offensive language’’ in a conversation eight years ago. “It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it,’’ Hogan said, calling his

Hogan is currently seeking $100 million from the website Gawker for posting part of the sex tape of him with Heather Cole, the ex-wife of Hogan’s onetime friend and radio show host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem. Gawker, which removed the video from its website under a court order, said it had the right to publish the edited video because Hogan talked in detail about his sex life before the video’s release, which made the story newsworthy.

DR. LEONARD MAHER

VIVIAN ISOBEL COSTERTON 1934 - 2015

Dr. Leonard Maher passed away peacefully at the age of 90 at the Royal Inland Hospital on July 15, 2015 with his family by his side.

Vivian Isobel Costerton (nee McClounie) born in 1934, passed away in her sleep on July 19, 2015. She was surrounded by love and the comforts of home when she slipped her hand in His and went home.

He is lovingly remembered by his children Phil, Dan, Brenda, Paul and his grandchildren Eric, Rae, Emily, Monica and Laura. He was predeceased by our mother Constance, his parents Phil and Ivy, his sister Eunice and our stepmother Lila. Dad was born at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta on January 20, 1925. He spent his childhood in Edmonton and Vancouver and his life revolved around study and sports. He graduated in Medicine at the University of Alberta in 1949, and after completing a year’s internship at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver he stayed on for one year of post-graduate training in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. Dad met our mother when he was in high school and they married in 1950. In 1951, after Phil was born, they moved to Quesnel where he joined the Avery Clinic. He began a very busy family practice that extended for over a decade and balanced the needs of work, a growing family and further education. In 1953 he completed one year of Obstetrics in Edmonton at the Royal Alex and later six months of Anaesthesia at the Vancouver General Hospital. He decided to specialize in Otolaryngology in 1961. After completing one year of training in Vancouver, he and the family moved to Richmond, Virginia, so he could spend three years at the Medical College of Virginia. Returning to the Interior of BC, Dad opened his practice in Otolaryngology in Kamloops in 1964. At that time, he was the only Otolaryngologist outside of the Lower Mainland and the only specialist in Head and Neck Trauma until 1975. As Kamloops grew with more specialists arriving, Dad decided to narrow his focus to Otology. In addition to having a very busy practice he sat on numerous hospital committees and was Chief of Medical Staff for a number of years. Throughout his practice Dad was very conscientious and caring. He had great respect for his patients. After having open heart surgery in 1985, he was compelled to stop practicing medicine. Dad never strayed from his working-class background and lived a very modest lifestyle. He had a lifelong passion for learning a wide range of subjects and approached everything in a methodical and studious manner. He had a strong interest in Canadian history, politics, religious studies, and the English language. He loved the natural beauty of the Kamloops area and often explored the rest of the province. Golfing and bridge were among his favourite pastimes and he had a love for dancing. A voracious reader, he stayed abreast of current events and was always eager for a lively discussion. During his retirement at the Rivershore Golf Estates, Dad wrote a book, Memories of a Cariboo Doctor, about his general practice in Quesnel, and in it he offers some views on changing trends in Medicine. When his health deteriorated in 2010, Dad moved to Kamloops Seniors Village. He enjoyed living at the Village and was very appreciative of their care. He befriended many residents and his cheerful manner will be greatly missed. Dad is deeply loved by his family and will be sadly missed. An Evening Prayer Service will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 255 Nicola Street, Kamloops, on Friday, July 31, 2015, starting at 7:00 pm. A Funeral Mass will be held at the Cathedral on Saturday, August 1, 2015, at 11:00 am, followed by a reception at the Cathedral hall. Should friends desire, donations may be made to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. The family would like to thank Dr. Stefanyk, the Kamloops Seniors Village and the staff at the Royal Inland Emergency and 6 South for the care given to our father. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear?

Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

She is predeceased by her loving husband of 57 years, Bill, and her son Johnny as well as her parents Colin and Dorothy McClounie. Those who mourn her passing include her sisters Jean (Harry) and Ruth, and her children Diane (Duncan), Sheila (Darrell), Bob (Kathy) and Nancy (Paul). Her grandchildren were her greatest joy and they will miss the Granny who impacted their lives so wonderfully. Her love is with Byron (Jelena) and their kids Adrijana and Lincoln, Allyssa (Cory), Laura, Leighton, Meghan, David, Scott, Liam, and Nicola. Vivian’s life was interesting and rewarding. Much of her energy was spent in the service of children and the community. She attended normal school and taught in elementary schools in Vancouver and London Ontario before and after her marriage to Bill in 1955. In 1960 they journeyed to India with Diane and Johnny, in service of the Anglican Church, to help establish a medical school and for Bill to teach there. Sheila was born in 1962 in Vancouver before they returned to continue work in India. Prior to Bob’s arrival, they moved to England and then to Montreal before Nancy was born. A transfer to Calgary in 1970 enabled them to put down roots and Vivian dedicated herself to service of her family, her church, her community, and charitable organizations. She served for many years with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on the local, regional, and national levels. In 1992 they moved to Montana where she was a dedicated volunteer in schools and church. A move back to Kamloops in 2004 brought her great joy as she relished time with children and grandchildren. She was very hospitable and gathered friends around every table. For the vast majority of Vivian’s life, she was engaging, energetic, hardworking, generous, public spirited, active, and full of love and affection. Her health in the last stage of life made things difficult but she strived to remain gracious and friendly. The family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff at Berwick on the Park Brio unit who cared for Mom wonderfully in her last months. A celebration of Vivian’s life will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral, at 11:00 am, on Tuesday, August 4 followed by her internment at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Vernon BC at 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Vivian’s memory. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com Arrangements entrusted to

MATH MINDBENDER Date Digits:

Here are two puzzles dealing with dates. If a date is expressed as digits, there are a number of formats that can be used. One, called ISO 8601, is YYYY-MM-DD. For some years, there are a number of dates where all eight digits are different. For 2013, however, there were no such dates. Why not? If the format YY-MM-DD is used instead, there were dates in 2013 where all six digits were different. How many such dates were there?

I wouldn’t say I was pushing it, but it does hold its own. It even garnered a thumb’s-up from said driver. Prius: 1. Sports car: 0. So what if the drone of the engine and CVT combined sound like a lovesick walrus? It’s irrelevant. The car has to work hard if you want it to accelerate quickly. After all, it’s not a performance vehicle in the traditional sense. The Prius c will, however, give you

incredible fuel results. That’s thanks to the combination of a 1.5 litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine, an electric motor and a sealed nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack. There’s a whopping 99 net horsepower produced but, again, the c is all about efficiency. Estimated fuel results come in at 4.5L/100km in the city, 5.1L/100km on the highway and a combined number of 4.8L/100km. I could have driven

it responsibly to try to beat those results, but that was not my goal — and there’s no fun in that. I wanted to drive it like I would any other car. Even when I decided to put my foot down I still averaged 4.9L/100 kilometres combined. Keeping in mind that there were a few long hill climbs on my various adventures. Of the Prius vehicles available, I’d say it’s the least like a grandma’s shoe. In fact, I think it’s

HYBRID SCORES HIGHER THAN ‘C’ tatements about the 2015 Toyota Prius c that I’ve heard before: “The Toyota Prius c is boring to drive.” Wrong. “The Toyota Prius c doesn’t have enough power.” Wrong, but not 100 per cent inaccurate. “The Toyota Prius c looks like my grandma’s shoes.” Again, wrong — but also funny. Say what you want about the smallest iteration of Toyota’s phenomenally fuelefficient hybrids, but it doesn’t lack personality or the ability to shine on the road. Here’s why. Since the last time the c and I rendezvoused, I’d forgotten how decent the handling actually is. That’s not what I’d say about all Prius family members. When passing a German sports car in a tight bend, I still had some leftover give from the tires and suspension. Body roll was surprisingly kept to a minimum, so you know Toyota’s doing something right. Granted, I wasn’t on a racetrack and

the cutest. Not because of its size, but because it has some nice lines to it. For 2015, there’s a restyled front end with standard single LED projector low and highbeam headlights, two new exterior colours and new light pipe taillights. Bonus. Inside, you get quite a few tech features, a 6.1-inch (155mm) touch panel display audio with navigation and more. The front SofTex seats are heated and,

if you happen to spill anything on them, they wipe off with minimal effort. Furthermore, it has 484 litres of cargo space with the rear seats up. With the rear seats folded down, there was enough storage to fit my road bike inside — without having to take off the front wheel — and left room for my cycling gear and a passenger up front. On the subject of size, it pretty much fits into any parking spot

around town. Even those annoyingly small spots that are the direct result of people not considering others and awkwardly placing their vehicles at just the right distance so a middle car can’t fit. You know the violators I’m talking about. Prius: 1. Parking: 0. The particular trim of c I had was deemed the technology. That includes the aforementioned navigation system, SMSto-speech and Emailto-speech capability, a backup camera, a leather wrapped steering wheel, a power moonroof, 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels and more. Let me be clear, the takeaway at the end of the day is the Prius c is my favourite Prius in the lineup. You can drive the pants off it and still get amazing fuel economy. There’s room for five, a road bike in the back — but, in that case, you’ll have to fold the rear seats down and kick three people out — fuel economy is stellar and it’s wrapped into a shapely package. C might stand for City, but it stands for winner in my books. The 2015 Toyota Prius c Technology has a starting MSRP of $26,055.

WILL EVE ADAMS’ LOSS HELP JUSTIN TRUDEAU? THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Liberals who helped defeat Eve Adams in her bid to run as the party’s candidate in a Toronto riding said they’ve done Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau “a big favour.’’ Trudeau will still face criticism in the upcoming federal election for taking the Tory defector under his wing in the first place, said a Toronto political scientist and the Conservatives. Adams had sought the Liberal nomination in Eglinton-Lawrence to run against her former fellow Conservative caucus

mate, Finance Minister Joe Oliver. But Adams, who was welcomed into the Liberal fold by Trudeau in February after she had a falling out with the Tories, was defeated in a weekend nomination vote won by Marco Mendicino. “I think we did Trudeau a big favour by bringing in and having a candidate here who really is a genuine Liberal,’’ said Ontario MPP Mike Colle, who once told The Canadian Press Adams would win the federal nomination over his dead body. Trudeau could still be shadowed by the Adams defection through the as-yet unof-

ficial election campaign, University of Toronto political science professor Peter Loewen predicted. Already, Conservatives are hinting they aren’t about to forget the defection and Trudeau’s acceptance of Adams and are honing their messaging around the affair. Oliver was quick to rub salt in, issuing a statement on the heels of Adams’s defeat accusing Trudeau of trying to override the wishes of local Liberals. Adams left the Harper Conservatives amid allegations of dirty tricks related to a Tory nomination battle last year.

Toronto police are working to identify a man heard hurling vulgarities at a CBC reporter moments after the end of the closing ceremonies of the Pan Am Games. Charlsie Agro was live on air Sunday night recapping the impressive performance of Canada’s female Pan Am athletes when a man shouted an obscenity frequently directed at female reporters on the job. Agro said she tried to chase the man down to confront him, but lost him in the crowd.

She wound up filing a report with Toronto police, who say they’re investigating the incident and trying to identify the culprit. Const. Scott Mills said it’s too early to determine whether any charges could be laid. Agro said the timing of this incident prompted her to join the ranks of reporters challenging the vulgar trend, which has been in force across Canada and the United States for months. Earlier this year, Agro’s Montreal-based CBC colleague Jaela Bernstien and Shauna Hunt of Toronto’s

IQALUIT, Nunavut — A Russian helicopter pilot survived a crash of his small helicopter into frigid Arctic waters by scrambling into a life raft and then spending more than 30 hours awaiting rescue on an ice floe, military officials said yesterday. Sergey Ananov was on a solo around-the-world journey in his single-engine aircraft and was about halfway between Iqualuit and Greenland when his Robinson R22 helicopter ditched in the Davis Strait

“On the last night of the Games, to have this sort of unfortunate experience . . . I just don’t think it’s right that people leave thinking that something bad would happen at a time when we’re celebrating all that Toronto’s accomplished,’’ Agro said. In her discussions with city police, Agro said she obtained permission to share photos of the alleged culprit on social media. Const. Scott Mills said the exposure on Twitter has led to several tips, but said the investigation is still in its early stages.

on Saturday afternoon. Rear Admiral John Newton said the search and rescue coordination centre was notified after an on-board beacon indicated Ananov’s single-seat aircraft had descended to sea level and stopped moving. The admiral said the 49-yearold sociologist and journalist had his life raft close at hand and his survival suit was on as it hit the water. “It’s wet, it’s cold, he has some polar bear neighbours who are very interested in his whereabouts. He has quite a survival story.’’ Newton said Ananov fired off

flares but they couldn’t be seen in the cloudy, misty conditions by rescue aircraft and helicopters dispatched to the scene. However, early yesterday morning, a watchkeeper with the coast guard vessel Pierre Radisson, which had set out from Frobisher Bay to find the lost aviator, spotted one of the flares fired from the floe. The vessel sent its helicopter to retrieve Ananov, who by then had been on the ice approximately 32 hours. Newton said the flight the pilot was attempting was risky even by military standards.

CityNews both made headlines by confronting men who shouted the insult during their live coverage. One of Hunt’s hecklers wound up losing his job over the incident. CBC Calgary reporter Meghan Grant managed to get one of her hecklers charged with stunting, an offense under Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act. Agro said those confrontations have obviously failed to send the message that such behaviour is unacceptable, adding the location and context of this latest incident was particularly striking.

Her public embrace by Trudeau raised eyebrows in Liberal circles. But while some suggested she was, in fact, a good catch, there was speculation at the time Trudeau really accepted her as a secondary prize to the real target — her fiance Dimitri Soudas. He is a former spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and is said to have inside knowledge about every Conservative riding in the country. Soudas left the Conservative party establishment and has since become a Liberal supporter.
