It started earlier and will last longer, but the three men and one woman running to represent Kamloops in the Oct. 19 federal election say the dynamics of the local campaign will change little despite the early call by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Sunday. “We’ve been prepared throughout, including for a spring election,” said New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu, who hopes to capture local support reflected in polls suggesting the NDP has its first real shot at forming at least a minority government. “I can immediately go in campaign mode,” Sundhu said. Both Sundhu and incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod moved into campaign offices over the

weekend that will be opened immediately. “Our campaign has already started,” McLeod said. “Our team is ready to get going.” McLeod has overseen a raft of spending announcements this month as speculation mounted the writ would be dropped on Sunday, creating an 11-week campaign period. “I see it as more gamesmanship,” said Liberal candidate Steve Powrie, an elementary and university teacher . “It’s just more opportunity to use their [Conservatives] huge war chest to push out their rhetoric for a longer time.” Green candidate Matt Greenwood said the longer election campaign period will not fundamentally change his campaign. He works part-time at ASK Wellness and has some flexibility to change his hours to suit the campaign.

But, he added, the election is extended because the Conservatives’ recent legislation allows spending to be increased along with the longer pre-election period. “With the Fair Elections Act they’ve pro-rated it [spending]. With a campaign twice as long, you can spend twice as much,” Greenwood said. “It’s a fairly cheap move — no pun intended.” But, McLeod said, critics ignore the fact that along with the official election period comes rules about spending, including for third parties. “We haven’t looked at our [campaign] budget with the longer writ,” she said. “It puts every party on the same playing field.” Sundhu, a lawyer, said he started reducing his caseload last year in preparation for the election. He has one legal file yet to complete, but considers himself in full-time campaign mode.

• The 2015 election campaign will be 11 weeks in length, more than twice as long as the 2011 campaign and the longest since the 1926 election. • Political parties and candidates will now be able to spend double what they were permitted under a traditional 37-day campaign. In Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, candidates will be able to spend up to $252,000. Nationally, parties will be able to spend about $50 million. • Parties can receive taxpayer-funded rebates of up to 50 per cent of eligible expenses, while candidates can recover taxpayer-funded rebates of up to 60 per cent of eligible expenses. • The early writ drop also means third-party advertising will now be subject to a tight $200,000 spending limit, largely clamping down on their influence. • This year’s election features 338 ridings, compared to the 308 ridings in the 2011 election. • Elections Canada data dug up by The Canadian Press shows the Conservatives had raised $20.1 million by the end of last year. The Liberals had amassed $15 million and the NDP had brought in $9.5 million.

A Merritt man will remain in jail after a provincial court judge refused to release him on bail following allegations he strangled his spouse’s cat in a domestic dispute. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse argued Frederick Drynock, 49, should remain in jail pending his trial or guilty plea because he was a risk to break court orders and the alleged killing of the cat showed a propensity toward domestic violence. “There’s a link between animal cruelty and domestic violence,” Janse argued. “Harm to the cat was used to control and

express violence toward his partner.” The allegations against Drynock have not been proven in court. He is charged under the Criminal Code with unlawfully killing an animal and causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. The cat was sent for a necropsy as part of the investigation. Janse alleged the incident occurred on July 23, when a drunken Drynock phoned his common-law wife from a Merritt hotel, telling her he was coming home. She told him to stay away. When he arrived, she hid under a trailer. “While she was hiding, Mr. Drynock got a hold of her cat, a 15-year-old she’d had since a kitten. He told her if she

didn’t come out, he would kill her cat,” Janse said. Drynock told police the cat died of old age. Drynock has a criminal record dating from 2006 with 32 convictions, including for spousal violence. The vast majority are for failure to abide by court orders. Defence lawyer Dmytro Antonovych unsuccessfully urged provincial court judge Roy Dickey to release Drynock on bail to live with his brother in the Lytton area, where he is able to work. Dickey said protection of Drynock’s spouse and the public is paramount. “He appears to have an inability to comply with court orders,” Dickey said.

Driver dies when car crosses line, hits bus One person died on Friday afternoon when a westbound car on Highway 1 crossed the centre line and collided headon with an eastbound passenger bus at about 4 p.m. The crash occurred about 11 kilometres west of Chase, just east of Hoffman’s Bluff, and resulted in a number of ambulances, an air ambulance and Kamloops Fire Rescue personnel responding.

The driver of the westbound Chevrolet Cavalier, the lone occupant of the vehicle, was killed. Police said the vehicle crossed into the eastbound lane, hitting the bus carrying 57 tourists from Korea head-on. The Interior Health Authority said 57 people arrived at Royal Inland Hospital, one in serious condition, 20 with non lifethreatening injuries and 36 who were not injured.

Sgt. Mike Pears of the RCMP’s Central Interior Traffic services said the most serious injury on the bus was to the driver, who was taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. The highway was closed in both directions for some time following the accident, which some area residents told KTW sounded like an explosion from an industrial accident. Pears said alcohol is not con-

sidered a factor in the crash. The area of the accident is part of a massive, multi-milliondollar widening program funded by the provincial and federal governments. When it is complete, it will represent 24 kilometres of fourlane pavement from the Monte Creek interchange to Chase at a cost of about $205 million for a project first announced nearly a decade ago.

Police release skimmer pics as they await details on device data Kamloops Mounties have released photos of a credit-card skimmer that was installed in a gas-pump payment slot in Valleyview last week. Staff Sgt. Edward Preto said the photos are being released to make the public aware of the type of card skimmer used to capture credit-card information at the Chevron gas station at 1795 Trans-Canada Hwy. That unit has been sent to the RCMP’s technical unit for analysis, to determine if the scam netted thieves customers’ PIN numbers. Preto said Chevron has told police it has put measures in place to prevent such incidences from happening at all Chevron gas stations in British Columbia.

Child eyed in series of fires Kamloops RCMP say a child is the suspect in connection to a series of paper fires set on front lawns in a Brocklehurst neighbourhood last week. There was no damage to the properties on Kamwood Place, said Const. Jason Epp, noting the fires were easily extinguished. Police said the child lit gasoline-soaked papers on the lawns of three neighbouring homes. Mounties found and arrested the child soon after. Police Beat Due to the young age of the suspect, Epp said the youth will not be charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Instead, police turned the matter over to the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

What's on at TRU?

LOCAL NEWS “The fact that TCC is getting targeted, I think, is because we have 2,000 people a day going through the front door. It’s an opportunity.” — Byron McCorkell of the City of Kamloops

Aug 4-19

City targets TCC thieves When Walter Kraus went to the Tournament Capital Centre for a swim one Saturday night, he had no idea he would spend his evening sleeping in the parking lot. A resident of Chetwynd and a trades student at Thompson Rivers University, Kraus had his wallet, shoes and keys stolen from a locker as he swam at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. Fearing thieves would return with his car keys, Kraus spent the night sleeping next to his vehicle. “What blew me away about the whole thing was the efficiency of the staff on how to deal with it,” Kraus told KTW. He was told locker theft is a fairly common occurrence at the facility — two more thefts happened the same day. The front desk even had a spreadsheet with phone numbers for cancelling all major credit cards. “My biggest thing is, not everyone here is a resident of Kamloops and this is going to happen again to somebody else,” Kraus said. “I don’t think they’ve done everything they

can. They haven’t followed their due diligence to try and prevent theft there.” However, Byron McCorkell, director of parks, recreation and cultural-services for the City of Kamloops, said staff is doing what it can to protect patrons. “I think if you talk to any gym, anybody who has a locker bank, they get broken into, even in schools,” he said. “The fact that TCC is getting targeted, I think, is because we have 2,000 people a day going through the front door. It’s an opportunity.” McCorkell said the thefts come in waves. Right now, the TCC is dealing with a rash of break-ins and the facility is working with RCMP, using undercover observers and video, to foil further attempts. Last month, KTW reported on the experience of retired barber Claude Schaffner, whose Mustang convertible and $6,000 worth of camera equipment was stolen from the TCC parking lot. Thieves used bolt cutters to break Schaffner’s lock and steal his car keys. Schaffner believes he was being watched by thieves and suggested a crime ring is at work

at the TCC, based on his conversations with others. His Mustang was eventually found in Merritt, but priceless camera memory cards remain missing. Crooks often use a tag-team approach. A lookout, sometimes a child, will stand at the entrance to the locker room, calling out a signal — pretending to hail a parent seems popular — to warn the partner. By the time anyone arrives, the crook looks like any other user changing clothes. McCorkell said the TCC is looking at other locker opportunities and may install a roaming security guard — though he doesn’t believe that will be necessary. The facility will install a valuables locker near the front desk, which will be under constant observation by staff, where patrons can store wallets, keys and other valuables. Also coming are decals on the inside of every locker, warning users not to leave valuables. From there, it’s up to patrons to protect themselves. “It’s a small locker, it’s not Fort Knox,” McCorkell said. “It preys a little bit

made, he won’t be heading back to the TCC. “It doesn’t turn me off Kamloops. Kamloops is a nice place,” Kraus said. “I’m just a little reluctant, understandably, to go back there.”

TRUSU: Courses impacting retention DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If students were in charge at Thompson Rivers University, their first priority would be to improve the courses offered. In a report to TRU’s senior management from the student union, five concerns were identified: frequency, a lack of summer courses, scheduling conflicts, lack of capacity and course changes and cancellations. The TRU Students’ Union (TRUSU) gathered the information through a survey and town hall meetings. The main concern was a lack of specific desired courses and programs that followed through in years offered, disciplines and

themes, a lack TRUSU said could be impacting student retention, an issue the university administration agreed is a concern. More than onethird of respondents said they were dissatisfied with course offerings and 75 per cent identified the issue as a key priority. Anecdotally, for example, the report

refers to a nursing student who had to change to another institution for the specialized courses she wanted and a trades student who could not access the programming he wished to pursue. The report said TRU needs to have consistency and not offer some courses every two years. It also needs to

update its calendar, a publication that includes courses available, because there are listings no longer offered. In the psychology and philosophy programs, the report notes examples of the issues students face. Some have had to postpone graduation because necessary courses weren’t

available annually. A written response sent to KTW stated TRU needs to have “a minimum number of students in a class to make offering it financially viable. “This leads to several of the problems students have identified, such as offering courses only in alternating years.” TRU is changing the scheduling software it uses to one it hopes will solve some of the problems. A second priority is academic advising, TRUSU said. The main concern is students facing long waits to see an advisor. It suggested improving the appointment process to make it easier and expand the hours beyond traditional workday hours. One respondent suggested academic advising be shared among faculty and

dissatisfaction and said it needs to be more affordable. One student, for example, said “If students are paying $250 a semester for parking, that should guarantee a spot.” Administration agreed, but said the hope is the university moves away from the need for parking slots by using alternate transportation including carpooling, transit and bicycles. TRU is collaborating with the student union to create carpooling incentives and, “sensitive to the financial situation many students find themselves in,” is setting parking rates at par with the city and Impark. Lot N has also been expanded. The data was drawn from a survey TRUSU conducted from Feb. 13 to March 7, which had 301 respondents.

even senior students because the current system gives only department heads the responsibility to approve high-level courses. One-third of participants in the study said they felt advisors did not have the information they were seeking and would provide inaccurate information, sometimes to the point it affected a student’s progression to graduation. TRU administration again agreed and noted it is starting a review of student services. Online resources are being improved and work has begun on a communication plan “to more proactively react to the students’ advising needs” using new software. The third priority identified is parking. Three-quarters of respondents expressed

FAMILY OF MAN HIT BY TRUCK STILL WANTS ANSWERS MONIQUE TAMMINGA

LANGLEY TIMES

BYLAW NO. 14-1-176 This notice is the second of two notices to advise electors in the City of Kamloops of the intention to adopt “Resource Recovery Centre Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 14-1-176.” The purpose of the bylaw is to borrow an amount not to exceed $10 million to finance the cost of purchasing the Owl Road Landfill and establish a resource recovery centre (RRC) and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 30 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will be funded by landfill tipping fees and will not result in a tax increase for the average residential property.

The benefits of purchasing the Owl Road Landfill and establishing a RRC are:

That Langley resident Michael Bennett is alive today could be considered a miracle. Now, Bennett’s fiancee, Kaily Stevens, is praying for one more miracle — that the couple can keep their wedding date at the end of August. Bennett, 30, was seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver at Sun Peaks on July 19. He was visiting the ski resort town to celebrate his brother’s stag. Around 2:30 a.m., Bennett and two others were walking along Sun Peaks Road. They had left a club and were returning to their hotel. “They were walking single file along the shoulder of the road. Michael was in the back and using his flashlight on his phone so they could see,” said Stevens. The three men heard a truck driving up behind them before it hit Bennett with such force, it sent him flying 20 feet in the air. “There were no skid marks, [just] clear tire tracks off the road and then the truck driver drove off,” said Stevens. “We are only guessing, but maybe the driver passed out, woke when he or she hit Michael, and drove off.” Police said there would be damage to the truck. Bennett’s brother and friend ran to his side. He was unconscious and badly injured. It took an ambulance 30 minutes arrive, before he was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital, where he spent seven days, doctors working to repair his broken body.

A copy of Bylaw No. 14-1-176 and a summary of the proposal are available from the City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division, 7 Victoria Street West, during each business day of the week between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. Council proposes to borrow the money and undertake the purchase of the Owl Road Landfill and establishment of an RCC and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard unless, by 4:00 pm on September 4, 2015, at least 10% of the electors in the City of Kamloops sign an elector response form opposing the implementation of the proposal unless Kamloops City Council holds a vote. The number of elector responses required to prevent the local government from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 6,975. A report respecting the basis on which this determination was made is available upon request from the City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division, 7 Victoria Street West. Elector responses are required to be submitted to the City of Kamloops on forms that can be obtained during regular business hours from the Legislative Services Division, 7 Victoria Street West. The form can also be downloaded from the City of Kamloops website at www.kamloops.ca. The only elector response forms that will be accepted by the City of Kamloops are the ones provided by the City of Kamloops or an accurate copy of the form.

told he will heal, he will be back to normal one day. “It’s truly a miracle,” said Stevens. He was discharged on Saturday and returned to his Langley home, where he is in a body sling and still suffering from a concussion. His road to recovery will take months, but he will recover, said Stevens, who thanked the community of Langley for its support and prayers. “All the phone calls and texts, all the prayers . . . we truly believe that is why Michael is doing so well,” she said. “We have forgiven the driver. It was a horrible mistake they made. “But, we want this person to come forward — not to seek justice, but for the safety of themselves and others on the road. This person shouldn’t be driving,” said Stevens. The truck involved

is described as a darkcoloured, older model pickup truck, similar to a Chevy S-10. Kamloops Rural RCMP investigators issued a plea for information and have said the driver would have known that he or she hit someone and may have told someone about it. Lead investigator Const. Brett Foley said police are asking anyone with information about this hit and run or who knows of a vehicle fitting the suspect description, operating in the Sun Peaks area, to contact the Kamloops Rural RCMP at 250-314-1800 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS). The victim’s family has posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. For the $10,000 reward, call the Lambert and Williams Law Corporation in Victoria at 1-250-5892174.

Only electors of the City of Kamloops are eligible to sign the elector response forms. There are two types of electors - resident electors and non-resident property electors. Resident Elector: When signing an elector response form during an AAP, a resident elector must be 18 years of age or older; be a Canadian citizen; have lived in British Columbia for at least six months; have lived in the City of Kamloops for at least 30 days; and not be disqualified under the Local Government Act, or any other enactment from voting in a local election, or be otherwise disqualified by law. Non-resident Property Elector: When signing an elector response form during an AAP, a nonresident property elector must: be at least 18 years of age; be a Canadian citizen; have lived in British Columbia for at least six months; have owned property in the City of Kamloops for at least 30 days; and not be disqualified under the Local Government Act, or any other enactment from voting in a local election, or be otherwise disqualified by law. Note: Only one non-resident property elector may sign an elector response form per property, regardless of how many people own the property, and that owner must have the written consent of a majority of the other property owners to sign the response form on their behalf. Property owned in whole or in part by a corporation does not qualify under the non-resident property elector provisions. Resident electors signing the elector response form must provide their name and address. Non-resident property electors must provide their name and the address of the property in relation to which they are entitled to register as a non-resident property elector. The City of Kamloops will not share the information on the form with anyone other than the Corporate Officer or other person designated by the Corporate Officer. For more information on elector qualifications, please contact the City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division at 250-828-3483 or legislate@kamloops.ca or see the Voter’s Guide to Local Government Elections in BC, available from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development or online at http://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/lgd/elections_home.htm. Further information about the RCC and Bylaw No. 14-1-176 will be available during a public meeting to be held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on August 13, 2015, in the upstairs meeting room of the Valleyview Community Hall, 2250 Park Drive, Kamloops.

TELL US WHAT YOU WILL DO

t’s the dead heat of summer and thoughts are on the long weekend that just passed and the glorious August to come before life gets hectic again in September. Is there really room in the noggin for something as serious as a federal election? Apparently so, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked Governor General David Johnston to dissolve Parliament on Sunday, thereby starting a marathon 78-day campaign — the longest since the 74-day slog in 1926. The lengthy campaign will cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars more than would a traditional 37-day campaign, considering the extra time allows candidates and parties to essentially spend double what they would normally be allowed — with every eligible dollar subject to a healthy taxpayer-funded rebate. In addition, Elections Canada will need to lease space in all 338 ridings for much longer than anticipated and pay elections workers more. On the flip side, third-party advertising will be restricted to a $200,000 limit. You may have seen it already, with unions attacking the Conservatives and Conservative-friendly groups invoking the NDP’s Glenn Clark era in B.C. in a bid to scare voters away from Thomas Mulcair. Why Harper has decided on such a long campaign is clear: His party has far more money in its account than do the opponents. As of the end of 2014, the Conservatives had $20.1 million, $5 more than the Liberals and double that of the NDP. But, spending one’s way to victory is never guaranteed, as a long campaign with constant attack ads could lead to voter fatigue and, possibly, voter irritation. It might be wise for all parties to create ads telling us what they plan to do, rather than trying to convince us why what the other guy plans to do is a bad idea.

Learning and loving

s I get older, I realize I learned all of life’s most important lessons from my dad. When I was a kid, it was the usual stuff: play nice with others, don’t talk back. He taught me how to fish, how to throw a baseball and, despite the fact I’m still not very good at it, how to play hockey. He gave me a love of words — ironically, I’ve never found the words to thank him for instilling me with it. The best memories of my childhood are of falling asleep to the tale of Long John Silver as he read chapters of Treasure Island. Twenty years later, I still have the same copy of the novel on my bookshelf. As I became a teen, the lessons obviously became more complex. Instead of sports and playground etiquette, it was working hard and the value of a dollar. In the Williams family, we changed the oil in our own vehicles, we didn’t buy things we could make ourselves. To this day, I cringe every time I pull into the drivethru at Mr. Lube. It kills me to buy a coat rack I know I could make. There were no easy outs in my family — if I wanted something, I could get a job and pay for it myself. If I fought with my brother, there would be consequences (for years, a hole in the wall was a constant reminder of why were no longer able to play mini-stick hockey in the basement). My dad taught me how to laugh at myself, too, how to graciously be the centre of stories that never seemed to go away. “Rocket Ron,” as we call him, was always doing something to make our family laugh. More than 10 years later, my cousins still talk

ADAM WILLIAMS

Fooled ‘Em

AGAIN

about the time he tripped over first base at the family baseball tournament, the night he tried to hide a pocketknife injury from my mother by sticking his hand in his mouth. She caught him when he tried to have a conversation with her, his hand still in his mouth. More than any other lesson, though, my dad taught me that anything less than my best wasn’t good enough — but, my best would always be good enough. It didn’t matter how many Cs I got in my first year of university, as long as I was going to class and studying. It didn’t matter how often I ended up on the bench during my brief hockey career, as long as I was trying. I am now 28. My dad is 63. The Rocket is teaching me what it means to be brave. A few months ago, dad was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer. He was told he had a few months, maybe a couple of years, to live. It was devastating for our family. How could a man so full of life, who had never missed a day of work in his life, be so sick? I write about cancer on almost a monthly basis, about the bravery of those fighting it, the sadness of those losing the battle. But, while we in the family

were feeling sorry for ourselves, the Rocket went to work. He has undergone chemotherapy treatments without a complaint and avoided the loss of his hair by preemptively shaving his head. If he feels sorry for himself, he certainly hasn’t shown it. At my cousin’s wedding a couple weeks ago, he was as happy as ever — sneaking a rum and coke when my mom wasn’t looking, posing for pictures with the family, bald and all, sharing a dance with his wife of 34 years. In the face of a fight the doctors say he will eventually lose, my dad hasn’t quit. He said he’ll fight to get every day he can, to see every possible Christmas, to celebrate every birthday. I’m sad to be losing my dad. I’m sad he probably won’t see me get married, angry he likely won’t be there to see me publish a book. And, I’m disappointed the Edmonton Oilers, his team, are so far from winning another Stanley Cup. But, I’m happy to have this time with him. I’m stunned by the strength he has shown, thrilled to see him still laughing and cracking jokes, even if they’re at his own expense. I’m happy to have the opportunity to tell him I am who I am because of him, that I love to read and write because he taught me how, that I will never quit on anything because he never did. Growing up, my dad taught me all kinds of lessons. He was never afraid to say “I love you.” There was no better reward than hearing the words “I’m proud of you.” I hope the words mean as much to him today. I love you, dad. I’m proud of you. adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THREE CHEERS FOR PERFORMING-ARTS CENTRE Editor: I read recent columns by Mayor Peter Milobar and KTW’s Dale Bass with interest and renewed determination to make my voice heard on the upcoming referendum on the proposed performing-arts centre and parkade. When my family moved to Kamloops in 1977, the only vegetation on Victoria Street was drifting tumbleweeds and the only public art was the Cenotaph. I attended one of the first Kamloops Symphony Orchestra concerts in the old South Kamloops secondary auditorium. The venue was old and decrepit, the orchestra amateur. During spring run-off, doing laundry was a joke. We drank the water at our own risk. Swimming lessons in the winter took place in a private pool in a home just off Tranquille Road. Years passed and these issues and more were addressed by the city. We invested in playing fields, in the Tournament Capital Centre, in Interior

Savings Centre, in the Y and in the Sagebrush Theatre. We did beautification projects and built the water-treatment centre. In every case, we were subjected to howls of protest from taxpayers citing waste, the economy, increased taxes, debt and their lack of interest in the project. In every case in which a project proceeded, our quality of life was vastly improved and, in most cases, so was the city’s economy. I no longer have children needing sports facilities or good schools in Kamloops — but I am still a citizen of this community and I have never begrudged paying taxes to support the needs of others. I am proud our city councils had the foresight to recognize and provide facilities we need for an enhanced quality of life. We need a performing-arts centre now. We have outgrown Sagebrush Theatre. We need a concert hall with a capacity sufficient to make it financially feasible for large

musical acts and international musicians to perform, with acoustic qualities that are not an insult. We’d like to actually hear the total sound produced by the vastly improved KSO. In a city of our size, a coliseum and a small theatre with poor acoustics shared with the school district just don’t cut it. A performing-arts centre will contribute to the city’s economy. That and the accompanying parkade seem to be issues ignored by whining taxpayers. When Winston Churchill was asked to cut funding to the arts in favour of the war effort, his response is reported to have been, “Then what are we fighting for?” I join Bass in challenging my fellow members of the arts community to make their voices heard loud and clear. Let’s hear some cheers for our city and for a performing-arts centre and parkade. Marilyn Wiwcharuk Kamloops

GRATEFUL FOR INTEGRITY, LEADERSHIP OF FIRST NATIONS Editor: As longtime residents of the Kamloops area, we wish to express our strong support for the leadership and vision being shown by area First Nations leaders with respect to the environmental hazards inherent in the proposed Ajax mine.

GKMA A GEM FOR VISITORS

We support the claim to aboriginal title at Jacko Lake by Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands and support the position that the Ajax mine development cannot proceed without their approval. We also strongly support the Shuswap Nation Tribal

Editor: Huge thanks to the Greater Kamloops Motorcycle Association for the awesome time we had camping at Duffy Lake. The sites are huge, wellkept and well-marked.

Council’s call last August for a moratorium on development of new mines in this province following the disastrous collapse of the Mount Polley mine tailings-pond dam. Given the abundant failure of responsible action to protect our well-being on the part of

elected MPs, MLAs, regional district directors and Kamloops mayor and council, we are grateful for the integrity and enlightened actions of First Nations on this issue. Susan W. Mann John McNamer

The dirt-bike trails are fantastic and the park attendant was very helpful. B.C. needs more areas for families to enjoy for dirt-biking and quading. Dave Hiebert Abbotsford

Once our family came along, we moved to a flat area in the city without sidewalks. “Our biggest concern in Barnhartvale were the hills and busy road we lived on. Not good for bike riding. “Although I support improvements in the basics within the city, it would cost a fortune to put sidewalks in Barnhartvale, given the topography of the area. “As someone else has mentioned, the $90 million for the PAC will go a long way to get some of things the city really needs.” — posted by Fairminded

ohn Oates is quite content being “the old guy.” “It’s a great place to be,” he said. “It’s the place where a lot of creative people and musicians would like to be, where I can indulge myself, still being respectful to the music. But it’s fun.” With a ranch full of rescued animals — a passion fuelled by his wife’s farming roots — a pilot for a new television series in the can and plenty of music

still to be sung, Oates said his life is full. There’s still time, though, to head out alongside the other musician who soared to the top of the charts with Oates — Daryl Hall — and bring back memories of the days when the two of them were first singing Sara Smile, Rich Girl, Private Eyes and Kiss On My List. It’s still fun, several decades later, performing those songs with Hall, Oates said, and some of those hits will find their way to the set list when Oates performs at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16.

Oates’ opportunity to tap back into the blues From A11

He’s got an acoustic version of the song he said remains special to him to this day — She’s Gone, a song released 42 years ago — “because that’s the one that put us on the map. It defined us and it has such an enduring quality.” It’s part of a body of work that saw the pair inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. These days, Oates is more likely to be found belting out the blues — rhythm and blues, the Delta blues. “Now I’ve got an opportunity to tap back into that,” he said. “It’s fun for me. There are so many sides in that genre, real Americana. It’s open for everything.” His love of the blues started early, he said, “because it felt like a good home for me.” It’s the inspira-

It’s about hopping into his old red Ford pickup and heading out on the roads lesstravelled, looking for unique characters, interesting stops and music that needs to be heard. Unlike Sonic Highways, the television series the Foo Fighters made — which he said was filmed with the sole goal of creating an album — Oates developed his concept with a historian point of view. Much like music historian Alan Lomax, he’s looking for the real roots music, songs and singers who do it for the love and have never been recorded. The plan is to make that music available

for download after each episode. Oates said he’s looking forward to the Salmon Arm event, one he’s never been to before, because it brings him back to B.C., a province he loves to visit — albeit usually in the winter when he hits the slopes. One of the reasons he agreed to the festival was because he saw his friend Marty Stuart is heading there as well, and he’s looking forward to making some music with Elephant Revlval, a

Colorado band known for its Americana/folk sound. Once the new guy on the musical block, Oates finds himself mentoring young musicians. One band he’s particularly keen on is Paper Bird, a folk/pop band in Denver. While he loves being able to work with up-and-coming musicians, Oates said he’s also frustrated because the business has changed so much since Hall and Oates released their debut album in 1972.

John Oates has been busy since the days of Hall and Oates. Recent projects include Good Road to Follow, a series he hopes will get picked up, and Another Good Road, a television special that aired in January and is now available on DVD. “[Music] companies are just looking at the bottom line,” he said. “They’re not welcoming for young musicians. I love being inspired by these young artists, but I feel

bad at the same time.” He doesn’t dwell on it. Life’s pretty good for him right now, he said. There are all the animals back on the ranch — alpacas, llamas, emus, pup-

pies — he’s workin new projects and s making music with friend Hall. “I get to travel, I got a great band,” said. “This is the p fect time now.”

Foam and bubbles will return to Sun Peaks next year, with the return of the 5K Foam Fest Run. The event, which includes 15 to 30 obsta-

cles throughout the fivekilometre course and a festival zone, is set for June 18 and June 19 in 2016. The first 1,000 people will receive an early-bird

WHITE ON WHITE ON WHITE ON SEPT. 16 There once was a hard and fast rule — you never wear white after Labour Day. Judy Basso is challenging that maxim with a White on White on White Party on Wednesday, Sept. 16, with some of the proceeds going to help the local SPCA. Information is available online at JudyBassoEvents.ca — but don’t expect to learn much about the event. The location is a secret, with attendees gathering at Aberdeen Mall to board buses and head to the party. The menu is also a secret, although it will feature local produce and be created by Ken Hueston, chef at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. Continuing the mystery, there is no information provided about the entertainment. People attending must dress complete in elegant white and bring with them a white-inspired centrepiece (or, if you’re going as a group, one per group). Each will be judged for a prize. Basso said only 158 tickets are available — at a cost of $158 plus tax — and the event is for those 19 and older. Tickets are available at the website.

We’re building the path to the future.

The Davoren legacy ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

ob Davoren points out the picture window of his Sun Rivers home at a mound of dirt on the horizon. “See that pile over there? Next to the blue house?” he asks. “That was the pitcher’s mound. “That was the polo grounds.”

Pointing to the former home of the Tk’emlúps Indian Band’s baseball diamond is a moment like so many others for the 71-year-old, the Tournament Capital’s unofficial sports historian. A comment will jog a memory and a piece of sports history will float to the surface. For every conversation, the Kamloops native has a piece of paper he can pull from his archives, a contact he can track down, a story he can tell. “Something will come up and he’ll say, ‘I have some literature on that,’ says Peggy Davoren, his wife of nearly 49 years. “Sometimes I think, ‘Oh brother,’ but he amazes even me.”

‘It was demolishing’

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Bob Davoren with one of his most prized possessions, a baseball signed by alumni of the Okonots senior men’s baseball team. The ball, a holdover from Davoren’s playing days on the mound, was signed by those in attendance at a reunion of the club in 1995.

Bob is dying. Diagnosed in April with myelodysplasia syndrome (MDS) — a cancer in which blood cells in the bone marrow don’t mature properly — his doctor told him he may have as little as months to a year to live. “It was demolishing,” Bob says. “That one just floored us. When he said that, it clobbered us.” Bob had been tired of late — doing the yard work he so loved seemed a little more onerous than usual. He was also getting older though and it didn’t seem unusual to have to lean on his rake a little more often. Unfortunately, his annual checkup eliminated that explanation. There was more than age to blame for how Bob was feeling.

There are no tears as Bob talks about his fate, but his voice does sometimes quiver. He says he’s not angry or scared, though shortly after his diagnosis, he did ask his daughter, a registered nurse, what it will be like at the end. He was soothed when she said that, with modern medicine, there was no need for death to be ugly. There are tough moments, he says, and his priorities have certainly shifted. Once something he lived for, he’s no longer able to travel. He’s bothered by the thousands of papers he’ll never have time to catalogue and the books he’ll never write. But, he has always been a person percolating with positivity. Though cancer has captured his years, he hasn’t let it take his outlook. “We just need to fill every day with happiness,” he told Peggy after they found out there was no curing his disease. Following a recent prognosis from his doctor — 18 months to two years — Bob’s now determined to make it at least a year-and-a-half, so he and Peggy can celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. He has been as hopeful with friends, more concerned with how they’re handling the news than how it affects him. “I’ve had a good life,” he told friend Gary Ireland, whom he has known for 30 years. “I’m not going to be down about it or bring anyone down with me.” See ‘I DON’T’, A16

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q. My dad’s friend told him he would to have a house worth $400,000.00 to afford to live at a retirement community for 10 years. A. Many folks share information with us that they’ve heard from one source or another. Often the information being shared is not quite accurate or factual. I cannot stress enough the importance of getting factual information directly from the retirement community. Important information regarding lifestyle options, services and pricing will be shared with you by a community representative. Some retirement communities have nancial worksheets they can share with you that can be quite useful when comparing your monthly expenses at home versus retirement community monthly expenses. I also like to encourage folks to meet with their nancial planner to review their portfolio to see if retirement community living is a viable option. A beautiful building, spectacular surroundings, together with exceptional services, an impeccable reputation and a staff that are second to none does not mean “not affordable”! Research, get the facts and you might just be surprised with the results!

From A15

As best as Bob can remember, he began collecting when he was five. Just a few blocks from his childhood home in the 300-block of Columbia Street, a woman was cleaning out her garage. It was the wife of Norman Wood, son of Stuart Wood, the namesake of Kamloops’ downtown school. Norman had died in the First World War. “Mrs. Wood was cleaning out the garage one day and me and my cousin were out in the backyard and she said, ‘You go in the garage and take anything you want,’” Bob says. When he returned home that afternoon, it was with books and trinkets, bags of pennies and old wooden levels. “I put it in my wagon, drug it home and it has been in boxes ever since,” Bob says. While his collection is predominated by sports memorabilia, Bob’s home is adorned with bits of the history of Kamloops — and his family’s, too. His father’s legacy on the railways of British Columbia is well-documented, as is his cousin’s place in the golden age of Hollywood. Peggy says there are bits of yesterday buried in their closets and garage even museums don’t have. In his 22 years with the Ministry of Highways and 18 years with the City of Kamloops, Bob had been known to come home with a box or two at the end of a work day. “I just don’t throw nothing away,” Bob says before joking, “The problem is, I keep losing things because I got so damn much stuff.” More than anything, though, sports has always been front and centre in Bob’s collection. His basement is filled with hockey cards and commemorative plates, autographed photos and a 40-pound Sidney Crosby bobblehead. He has enough hockey jerseys to ice a team, including a limited-edition Mark Recchi jersey he bought in support of Barriere fire-relief efforts. Bob has his own spot in his collection, too, a sports career he says was only made possible because of sacrifices made by his father. From his files he pulls a Kamloops Sentinel article that chronicles the achievements of a 17-year-old pitcher, known as “Bullet” Bob Davoren. The young stud rewrote the league record book pitching for the Kamloops JayRays of the South Okanagan Junior Baseball League. Another article, courtesy of New Westminster’s The Columbian, highlights Bob’s midget hockey days as a member of the Kamloops Braves, a team described by NHL great Lester Patrick as “the finest minor hockey club he had ever witnessed in action in his entire hockey lifetime.” Bob hopes to donate much of his collection when he passes, to share the Kamloops sports histories he has cobbled together over the years. After all sport has given him, it’s his way of giving back.

An amazing attitude

It takes only a few hours at Sun Rivers Golf Resort one afternoon to see the impact Bob has on those around him. Following a makeshift tournament organized in his honour — Bob’s recreational love is now golf — it’s clear it’s not just in sports knowledge that the 71-year-old amazes those around him. “Bob’s legacy is his absolutely amazing attitude,” Ireland says. On this afternoon, stories are told. His friends talk about the time Bob and good friend Dale Cassell drove to New York on a whim to watch the Yankees in the 1963 World Series, about the days spent at Aberdeen Hills Golf Course and the time he and a few friends took to the links in the cover of night to try to nab a vandal plaguing the fairways. Some say Bob can remember everyone he has ever met, even if it was half a lifetime ago. “He could probably remember their birthdays, too,” joked longtime friend Mike Cornell. Eventually, talk turns to the Bullet’s luck, his numerous 50/50 wins and the evening he won $1-million playing the lottery. The men feign jealousy, frustration, though none seem to truly mean it. “A lot of it, he brings on himself,” Cornell says, “because he’s so positive.”

A chance to say goodbye

If Bob’s thankful for anything, it’s having the opportunity to bring some closure to his life, to have the time to say goodbye to friends and family, to write down the things he wants people to know. Death has found him with no regrets. “Nobody can escape it. We’re not escaping it,” Bob says. “I didn’t want it this quick, but we don’t get choices.” With the time he has left, he’s living life as he always has, telling stories and passing on memories, visiting with neighbours in his front yard, giving away bits of memorabilia he feels will bring a little joy to others. He still has things he would like to do. He’d like to chase one more big buck this winter, maybe make another trip over the border to spend a night playing the slots in a U.S. casino. But, if it doesn’t all come to fruition, it won’t really matter. At the end of the day, he’ll still go to bed with a smile on his face. In the weeks following his diagnosis, Bob sat down to pen some of his thoughts, a message he later titled The Overflowing Bucket. “Think how many of our past and present acquaintances, at the twilight of their lives, don’t get to tell people what they really mean to them,” he wrote. “I have. “My bucket was overflowing the morning I came into this world. “To all my friends, I say thank you. God bless.”

Nobody “can escape

it. We’re not escaping it. I didn’t want it this quick, but we don’t get choices.

”

Rams buck Broncos at Hillside MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Langley Rams know how to ruin a coming-out party. Entering their home opener, the Kamloops Broncos were confident — perhaps a touch arrogant — about their chances of knocking off the Rams, a traditional B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) powerhouse that did not look good in a 22-14 Week 1 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo on July 25. Instead, the Broncos mustered only two touchdowns and one field goal in a 25-17 loss to the Rams in front of 741 fans at Hillside Stadium on Sunday. Kamloops (1-1) thumped hometown Chilliwack 72-17 in Week 1 and Broncos’ offensive co-ordinator Mike Faisthuber told KTW he expected to put up between 40 or 50 points and about 500 passing yards against Langley (1-1). “Whether it was confidence coming in, which we’ve never really had here, with guys being overconfident, maybe that was the case with this game,” Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka said. “We need to prepare our players a little bit better, get them a little more grounded to come in and play a football game.” The Broncos finished with 213 pass-

ing yards and were penalized 12 times for 115 yards — not an acceptable number for Yamaoka. With the game tied 17-17 midway through the fourth quarter, Jordan Angove was unable to field a Langley punt, which bounced off the Broncos’ return man and was recovered by the Rams. Three plays later, Langley quarterback Dylan Tucker capitalized on the gaffe with a touchdown pass to Seye Akinsanmi to take the lead with 6:25 remaining. “We’ll chat with him [Angove],” Yamaoka said. “I’m sure he feels pretty lousy right now, but that’s football. “We still got the ball back plenty of times for our offence to go down the field. We just didn’t do it. We threw a pick when we had an opportunity to tie it.” The visitors tacked on a rouge and smothered the Broncos’

Silver & Gold

offence the rest of the way, putting an exclamation mark on the victory by sacking Schuweiler to take over on downs and run out the clock. Kamloops squandered a 14-3 secondquarter lead and its offence sputtered in the second half, while Langley (1-1) exposed the home team’s suspect run defence and scampered to victory. Devin Logan was among the Rams’ running backs who rumbled through the Broncos’ defensive line and into the backfield, gaining valuable yards and running down the clock — a textbook method of finding wins on the road. “We came out here as a family, we executed what we needed to do and it didn’t matter what they said,” said Logan, visibly amped

up after his team’s first win of the campaign. “Talk is talk. It’s what happens on the field that matters the most.” Pivotal to the Broncos’ loss was their inability to score in the third quarter, with the steady southerly wind behind them. Neither team registered a point in the penultimate period, which was a victory for the Rams given the strong breeze. Nathan Lund gashed the Broncos’ D with incisive, lengthy forays into the Kamloops secondary and finished the game with 144 yards on 10 carries, while Logan racked up 82 yards on the ground. “We have to be better at tackling, plain and simple,” Yamaoka said. “When we are falling on the ground grabbing for legs, you’re not going to win many football games that way.” Kamloops quarterback Stephen Schuweiler, offensive player of the week in Week 1, was 19-of-33, with one touchdown pass and one interception. He also plunged in for a rushing touchdown in the first quarter. Receiver Derek Yachison ran a pretty route and managed to keep his feet in bounds when Schuweiler found him in the end zone

for the Broncos’ second score, which gave Kamloops a 14-3 cushion late in the second quarter. Jacob Palmarin busted a 50-yard run to give the Broncos a momentum boost late in the game, but that fourth-quarter drive stalled and finished with Robbie Martin kicking a 26-yard field goal into the wind. Palmarin recorded 101 yards rushing on 15 carries. The game was a rematch of an epic semifinal showdown in 2014, when the Rams eked out a 48-46 victory over the neversay-die Broncos before claiming the Cullen Cup with a 23-19 victory over the Okanagan Sun in Kelowna. Beating Langley would have been a step toward Kamloops proving it has arrived as a BCFC contender, but the statement-game opportunity went begging. “At the end of the day, they only put up 25 points. That’s not a lot of points,” Yamaoka said. “Our offence only put up 17. That’s not very good at all.” The Broncos will look to rebound against the Westshore Rebels (0-2) of Langford on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. at Hillside Stadium.

Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her.

Lisa was born in Edmonton in October, 1925. She was a practical nurse in Edmonton for many years, before moving to White Rock to be a part of musical review for over a decade. After White Rock she moved to Mission, before finally landing in Kamloops to spend the remainder of her years. Marie was an amazing mother, and will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her. A million times I’ve needed you A million times I’ve cried, If love alone Could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, No one else can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone Part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

LIMITED EDITION MARKS 50 YEARS OF MUSTANG ALEXANDRA STRAUB

DRIVEWAY CANADA

t’s always nice when people think you look younger than you really are. Like, when a store clerk asks you for your ID. Or, you play the “guess my age” game with a stranger and the number guessed is a few years off — in the right direction, of course. When looking at the 2015 Ford Mustang, it’s hard to believe it’s just over 50 years young. The first iteration of pony car came to fruition in 1964. While it’s not a volume-selling vehicle for Ford — the F-150 takes care of that — it is a staple product in the North American brand’s repertoire. The Mustang defines a cultural phenomenon that has lasted decades and continues to inspire drivers globally. Through the various nips, tucks, lifts and shapely reconstructions, the current Mustang has even more road presence than before. Not to mention, it comes with an available, all-new 2.3L, 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine, a 3.7L, V6, or

The first Mustang was released in 1964. Today’s modern Mustang, 50 years later, comes in at close to $50,000.

the five point-oh-solovely (5.0L), V8 with a dashing 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Having had the opportunity to drive both the 2.3L and 5.0L back-to-back is a testament to the range of power Mustang lovers and potential Mustang wranglers will have at their fingertips. Furthermore, both vehicles tested came with six-speed manual transmissions.

Even though the bulk of cars in North America — about 90 per cent — are sold with automatic transmissions, there’s still no replacing that third pedal or the ability to connect with a car on a more personal level. While the automatic transmissions in Fords have come a long way, I will, 9.9 times out of 10, pick a manual. The gearboxes are certainly great

and, linked with the engines, is an overall stellar combination. With the 2.3L EcoBoost, it’s pretty amazing what this four-cylinder engine can do. It puts out 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque — but take into consideration you need premium fuel to get the most out of it. And, speaking of fuel, don’t let the engine size fool you.

It’s not stellar when it comes to real-world results. Estimated figures come in at 10.6L/100km in the city. I was averaging over 13.0L. I didn’t expect it to be amazing and, with all the stop-and-go driving we shared, it’s not ideal. Then again, that’s not why one would consider a Mustang. It gets a little worse with the 5.0L GT. It’s to

be expected, though. On the flip side, the GT is, not surprisingly, my favourite of the bunch, not only because it has the most power, but because of the way it sounds and drives. To add even more sweetness onto the pile, the 5.0 was a convertible. Clad in a ruby red metallic exterior coat and redline leather inside, it was a feast for

the eyes. With the top down, you can further appreciate the audible glory of its rumbling engine and exhaust. With the top up, though, visibility is not nearly as good. Blind spots abound — so be extra careful when navigating around the city. Regardless of engine size you have under the Mustang’s shapely hood, this rear-wheel drive coupe, a.k.a. Fastback, is a very agreeable car to drive. The cabin is quiet and welcoming. There’s room for four inside, but the rear seats should be reserved for those who are not as long-limbed. It can get pretty cozy back there, especially if you’re tall and push the seat all the way back. You could argue that any spot in the Mustang is a good seat — top up or down. Whether it’s the roar of the V8 or the polite grunting of the 2.3L EcoBoost, Ford’s iconic coupe/convertible can be compared with wine. It continues to get better with age. The starting MSRP of the 2.3L EcoBoost Premium is $33,849. The starting MSRP of the Mustang GT Convertible Premium is $48,399.

had indeed dissolved Parliament, launching the longest campaign in Canada since 1926. He wasted no time trying to frame the socalled ballot-box question. “Canadians will make a critical decision about the direction of our country, a decision with real consequences, a decision about who has the proven experience today to keep our economy strong and our country safe,’’ Harper said. “I will be asking Canadians for their support to continue to

deliver sound economic management and to take the difficult decisions necessary to protect our country’s security.’’ A national election “is not a popularity contest,’’ he added — presumably a reference to Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who now has just 11 weeks to silence critics who have long accused him of being more sizzle than steak. Heading into the campaign, the Conservatives find themselves lagging behind Tom Mulcair and the NDP in the polls, with the

Liberals running third. But, make no mistake, for the first time since anyone can remember, all three main parties have a legitimate shot at forming a government after Oct. 19. Across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Que., with the emblematic Peace Tower looming in the distance, Mulcair called for change on Parliament Hill after nearly a decade of Conservative rule. “Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant and household debt is skyrocketing . . . middle class families are working harder than ever but can’t get ahead,’’ Mulcair said. “The economy has shrunk in each of the last five months and many are claiming that Canada is already in another recession . . . clearly, Mr. Harper, your plan isn’t working.’’ In Vancouver, Trudeau accused the Conservatives of planning to grow the economy by making “wealthy people wealthier.’’ The election, he said, is about which party can give middle class Canadians a real and fair chance to succeed. “You want change that works for you,’’ Trudeau said. The campaign promises to be the costliest ever, with taxpayers contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to help Elections Canada oversee the vote, and rebates to the parties for every dollar they spend. The parties could spend more than $53 million on their national campaigns and candidates on average about $214,000 — more money than they’ve ever been allowed to spend before. The increase in spending limits — up from about $25 million for parties and $101,000 on average for candidates — is a result of the Conservative government’s Fair Elections Act, which upped the spending limits for every day a campaign runs beyond the traditional campaign period of 37 days. Harper said he called the campaign earlier than usual because his rivals were already campaigning — and doing it on the public dime.

It’s important, he said, “that the money come from the parties themselves, not from the government resources, parliamentary resources or taxpayer resources.’’ He also acknowledged his party was on the best financial footing to run an extended campaign, sitting on significantly more cash than the NDP, Liberals, Greens or Bloc Quebecois. “In terms of the advantages this party has, in terms of the fact that we are a better financed political party, a better organized political party and better supported by Canadians, those advantages exist whether we call this campaign or not,’’ he said. “What we do by calling this campaign is making sure we are all operating within the rules and not using taxpayers’ money directly.’’ Green Leader Elizabeth May, speaking in Sidney, chastised Harper for setting up an unfair system that would cost taxpayers “tens of millions of dollars’’ and give the Tories an unfair advantage. Canadians “deserve MPs who put Parliament ahead of party’’ and can set aside “hyper-partisanship for citizenship,’’ May said. Harper stands to become the first prime minister since Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1908 to win four consecutive elections. His party has used its bulging war chest to deliver attack ads against Trudeau for months, including ever-present radio and TV spots that describe the Liberal leader as “just not ready’’ to be prime minister. Liberal insiders admit they’ve been effective, contributing to the Liberals’ slow decline in the polls to third place from their front-running status over the previous two years. Late Friday, the Conservatives suddenly turned their sights on Mulcair with similar attack ads depicting him as an unethical, opportunistic “career politician.’’ Having helped drive Liberal support to the NDP, they’ve now evidently decided they need to blunt Mulcair’s momentum as well.
