Killer claims his ex-girlfriend was ‘demonic’ CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 41-year-old man who pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder alternated in B.C. Supreme Court between accepting responsibility for killing his former girlfriend to blaming it on what he claimed was her demonic possession. The first day of what was intended to be a three-day sentence hearing ended before noon yesterday after the Crown presented facts in the death last year of 26-year-old Deanne Wheeler. Butler has maintained his
guilt from his first interaction with police to his most recent court appearance. He also refused legal assistance and has represented himself in court. “In under nine minutes, Mr. Butler strangled Ms. Wheeler with a wire and then a fan cord, hit her in the head with a rock at least four times then stabbed her seven times,” said prosecutor Alex Janse, who also read text messages into court portraying Butler as a jealous ex-boyfriend bent on control. Butler coaxed his former girlfriend to his Cherry Avenue apartment in North Kamloops on Dec. 30, 2014.
This came after weeks of jealous and sometimes threatening texts. Janse said he coaxed her to meet him on the pretext they should remain friends. Butler called 911 immediately after Wheeler died. He told police he strangled Wheeler, describing her as a demon and stating: “When it entered my apartment, I set down the coffee it had bought. “We went forward into the living room. It turned around and said, ‘You will no longer call me Satan’ and its eyes went huge and black . . . I feared for my life and said, ‘Die, demon, die.’” Butler complained in
DEANNE WHEELER: 26-year-old was slain by her former boyfriend.
court there was no way to test Wheeler for possession by evil spirits, comparing it to the ability of medical staff to determine rabies in a dog by killing it and then testing for the virus.
Butler told an undercover police operator placed in jail immediately after his arrest that he knew before Wheeler arrived at his apartment that he would kill her. “He also commented that demons breathe the same air that we do and that you have to cut off the air supply,” Janse said. Despite those statements to police, Butler told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Keith Bracken he understands his crime. “I did kill Deanna Wheeler. That’s why I’m here to take responsibility,” he said at end of the Crown’s statement of facts. See JUDGE, A11

Canada, U.S. political debates tonight on TV ALEXANDER PANETTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a random alignment of the democratic planets, Canada and the United States will hold their first formal debates of this election cycle tonight. Which will be more interesting? Which will be more informative? Answers to those
questions won’t be available until after 6 p.m., when the Republican primary debate begins an hour into the Canadian leaders’ showdown (which runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on CityTV and online at macleans.ca). But, here’s one category in which the U.S. one will be almost impossible to beat:
metaphors. American politicos have been scouring their mental imagebanks to produce analogies that suitably capture the impending phenomenon of a debate with Donald Trump. Rattlesnake with a toothache. Drunken race-car driver. Barroom brawl. The last few days
The reality-star-realestate-billionaire has already proven that he’s mastered a basic lesson of politics: keep expectations low before you hit the stage. How will he do in the first major debate of his life? Maybe well, he said, or maybe terribly. When asked about the debates, he told a news conference he
have been replete with imagery for the contest where Trump will be at centre stage. He will hold a prime spot in the Fox News debate because he’s leading the pack in early polls, which most serious pundits insist are meaningless despite some showing him with nearly double the support of his closest rival.

has less experience than anyone on stage. “These guys debate every night of their life. That’s all they do, is debate,’’ Trump said. “I’ve never debated before. I’m not a debater.’’ To employ a more standard pugilistic metaphor for these events, will Trump keep it clean or will he hit below the belt? In the last couple of weeks, he’s made fun of John McCain for having been a PoW, publicly released a rival candidate’s cellphone number and called a former Texas governor stupid. He suggested Rick Perry should have to take an IQ test before being allowed on stage. “He put glasses on so people will think he’s smart,’’ Trump said last week. One thing Trump’s targets have in common is that they have attacked him first. In his books, Trump frequently touts the value of revenge. He stressed in a weekend interview that he rarely strikes first — but he strikes back hard. “I’ve always counter-punched,’’ he told NBC’s Meet The Press. “You have to counter-punch. But, I’m not looking to start anything, that’s for sure. I’d rather discuss the issues.’’ This raises the question of how the other candidates should deal with a loose cannon. An aide to Ohio Gov. John Kasich compared
it to preparing for a NASCAR race with a drunk driver on track. An aide to Sen. Marco Rubio used the cranky-rattlesnake analogy. Former candidate Newt Gingrich had another suggestion. He said candidates who don’t make the top 10 cut to be on stage might be better off in the B-list debate (at 5 p.m.) where they can quietly and calmly lay out their ideas. “It may be that . . . nine o’clock becomes the Trumpversus-everybody brawl,’’ he told Fox News. “And, in some ways, you might be happier not to be in the middle of a bar room when the brawl’s going on.’’ Trump was also getting advice from a pillar of the Republican elite establishment. Strategist Karl Rove said he had done a good job downplaying expectations and should use his energy to attack issues — not people. Even one of the debate moderators has weighed in with speculation about what approach Trump might take — statesman, or showman? “Some are saying, ‘Be the statesman. Show that you’re not a reality-show clown. Show that you are up seriously to being president,’’’ Fox News host Chris Wallace said. “And there are other people saying, ‘Hey, this got you to 20 per cent. “Keep doing it!’’’

Aberdeen to get air-quality station KGHM AJAX WILL FUND MAINTENANCE OF PACIFIC WAY ELEMENTARY FACILITY DALE BASS

Construction has begun on a site to house an air-quality monitoring station at Pacific Way elementary in Aberdeen. The station, a joint project of the provincial Ministry of Environment, KGHM Ajax and School District 73, will measure air quality and various particulates, along with wind speeds and direction and air temperature. The ministry will operate the station, which is expected to start recording data next month. The funding agreement was completed in June, with the district providing the location and the ministry and KGHM Ajax sharing the costs. KGHM Ajax will pay for maintenance and twice-yearly audits of particulate monitors at the site. The data will be used for air-quality research in the Kamloops airshed and for baseline data to be used for future air-quality compliance monitoring if KGHM Ajax’s proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen is approved.
The company is expected to submit its application to the B.C. environmental assessment office by the end of summer. Ralph Adams, an air-quality meteorologist with the Ministry of Environment, said the station has been on the North Shore at Firehall No. 2. It will be moved once a pad is built at the Aberdeen location. Fencing will also be required at the station, which will be at the upper end of the parking lot at Pacific Way elementary. KGHM Ajax external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse said the school is a great spot for the station. “The location is likely strategic, given the proximity [to the Ajax site] and the discussions in the community,” Lacasse said, referring to the mine proposal and air-quality issues. Lacasse said he was excited to see the announcement the project is underway and described it as a positive to Kamloops. Adams said a new location became necessary several years ago when land next to the station’s location on the North Shore was sold, removing the government’s access to the station.

It was relocated to the firehall at 1578 Tranquille Rd., but Adams said that wasn’t considered an optimal site. He said power is an important consideration because the equipment uses a lot of it and generates significant heat. The school district is allowing the ministry to hook up the station to Pacific Way’s power source and will be compensated for power usage.

Young Pritchard man fatality in car-bus crash A 19-year-old Pritchard man has been identified as the one fatality in an accident near the community last Friday. Sascha Dieter Hedrich was driving west on Highway 1 when his vehicle collided head-on with an eastbound tour bus in the Hoffman’s Bluff area. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident occurred at about 4:40 p.m. and led to closure of the Trans-Canada Highway for several hours. The bus was carrying 57 tourists from Korea, all of whom were taken to Royal Inland Hospital.
The bus driver was last reported to be in serious condition, while 20 tourists had non-lifethreatening injuries and 36 tourists were not injured. The area of the crash has been the site of several fatal accidents in the past and is part of a massive multi-million-dollar widening program funded by the provincial and federal governments, with $95 million going to widening the highway from the east end of Hoffman’s Bluff through to Chase Creek Road. RCMP and the BC Coroners Service are investigating.

Resource Recovery Centre Public Information Meeting
Kenneth Knutson faces several charges, including attempted murder, in connection to the Dec. 3, 2014, shooting of Kamloops RCMP Const. Jean-Rene Michaud.
The City of Kamloops is proposing to purchase the Owl Road Landfill and establish a resource recovery centre (RRC) and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard.
Preliminary hearing set for Dec. 7
The cost to purchase the site, reduce the size of the existing landfill operations, and begin an RRC is estimated at $10 million. Administration proposes that the purchase be funded through debt and the debt be serviced through landfill tipping fees. There would be no impact on taxes, solid waste rates, or landfill tipping fees.

The man accused of shooting a Kamloops Mountie during a traffic stop last year will have his preliminary inquiry in December. Ken Knutson is slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court for a preliminary inquiry beginning on Dec. 7. Preliminary inquiries are lower-court hearings to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Knutson, 36, is charged with a raft of charges — including attempted murder — stemming from the Dec. 3 shooting of RCMP Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud. On June 18, Knutson pleaded not guilty and elected to have his case heard before a judge and jury in B.C. Supreme Court. Michaud was shot while conducting a traffic stop on a vehicle in Batchelor Heights. Knutson was arrested following an exhaustive manhunt that lasted more than 12 hours. Knutson has been in jail since his arrest. Michaud is recovering from his injuries at home.

No end in sight to strike TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
As recyclables pile up in garages and storage rooms in homes and businesses across Kamloops, city officials say they are staying put — at least for the time being. The City of Kamloops stopped collecting recyclables on June 22, when Emterra’s 10 unionized Kamloops workers went on strike demanding higher wages. Jen Fretz, the city’s publicworks director, said the strike has been the topic of much discussion at city hall. “We have talked about a number of different options, but the decision at this point is to keep going with what we are doing, which is obviously not collecting,” she said. “We have talked about everything from collecting and storing ourselves to shipping to other facilities to doing something different with the contract. “There are eight or nine different options. Unfortunately, none of them fit at this time.” Fretz said the city is eager to
see the Emterra strike come to an end. “We are, and I would suggest the company is, as well,” she said, noting the city has had weekly meetings with Emterra throughout the strike, which is now in its sixth week. “Obviously, we don’t get into specifics about what their contract is like. We just want to come to a solution. “I wish I could say we have a magic solution but, unfortunately, we don’t yet.” United Steelworkers Local 1-417 president Marty Gibbons told KTW the union is still waiting for a reply from Emterra — six weeks after submitting a proposal. “We have advised we are prepared to meet any time, anywhere,” he said. “We’ve given them the last proposal and we’re waiting to hear from them. They’ve had plenty of time to look it over.” Gibbons said the union was provided incomplete financial materials last week. “There were no numbers we
could confirm,” he said. “We’ve forwarded a request for audited statements. The union continues to try to get back to the table, to see these documents we’re entitled to see.” Gibbons said the striking workers feel “insulted” by Emterra. “Strike pay is flowing and members are making due,” he said. “They’re paid so poorly there that, as a huge industrial union, our strike pay is pretty good. “But, everyone’s insulted by the company.” Gibbons told KTW earlier in the strike that most of the 10 employees make $13 per hour or less. Gibbons is not optimistic a resolution will be reached any time soon. “It seems, at this time, we’re further from a deal than we are closer to a deal,” he said. “It would be nice to get a deal and get back to work, but the ball is in the employer’s court.” Emterra spokesman John Douglas did not return calls to KTW.

Cooler weather, but lightning sparks new fires CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
While soaring temperatures ramped up fire risk, cooler weather and possible showers this week will help crews battling blazes in the region. The B.C. Wildfire Service lists three fires of note in the Kamloops Fire Centre: Bolean Lake near Falkland; Cisco Road in the Lytton area; and Westside in Kelowna. The Bolean Lake fire is 90 per cent contained. “The remaining 10 per cent could just be burning in some steep terrain,” said spokeswoman Melissa Klassen. “Things are looking good on that one.”
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The Coldstream Creek fire south of Ashcroft has been defeated, but not before burning 250 hectares. Other fires remain burning across B.C. during this hot summer.
AND GET UP
Klassen said crews watched the much larger Cisco fire with concern over the weekend as high temperatures and low humidity ramped up risk and increased fire activity. Crews bolstered containment areas and installed sprinklers as risk grew. Some of the fire is burning in steep alpine areas. All evacuation orders and alerts have been lifted. Smoke drifted in and out of the Thompson Valley over the weekend from fires around B.C., including a significant blaze of 600 hectares near Harrison Hot Springs. Klassen said the predicted cooler weather with showers should help reduce fire risk, but lightning did accompany a

storm on Tuesday night, with 14 new fires sparked. Since April 1, there have been 1,400 forest fires recorded in the province, 318 of which have been in the Kamloops Fire Centre, an area that stretches from Blue River to the Canada/U.S. border. Across B.C., 282,000 hectares have burned. In the entire 2014 fire season, there were 1,484 recorded fires in B.C. that burned 369,000 hectares. Each year, the province sets the firefighting budget at $63 million. Last year, $297 million was spent fighting fires. Through July, the province had spent about half that amount.

Bill Bilton opted to have lunch with a couple of long-time friends rather than take the time to read the most recent decision from the Agricultural Land Reserve to deny his bid to remove land for development from his The Dunes golf course in Westsyde. It was the third application from Bilton and his company, North Core Developments, to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to remove the 4.6-hectare strip of land next to Westsyde Road from the Agricultural Land Reserve and designate 5.1 hectares of land north of the course and the Dunesberry Farm as farmland. The goal was to build housing on the smaller parcel. “To tell you the truth, I’m sort of not surprised,” Bilton said. “And they [ALC] have some valid points, but that’s why I’m in the business I’m in.” Bilton said he had read the last page only — with the details of the ruling — and would have to take time later to review the entire document. “But, I’m in no panic,” he said. “The one thing about land is it isn’t going anywhere.” Previous applications to the ALC involved larger parcels of land. The last one, dealt with by the commission in 2013, involved 6.68 hectares near the centre of the course that would have been removed from the ALC and used for 317 housing units. “I just hate to see wasted land,” Bilton said. “I didn’t have my heart into it, quite frankly.” He said he suspects the commission is concerned about urban sprawl in the area. Bilton said he will consult with the city’s planning and development manager — if approved by the ALC, the project would still have to go through the city’s processes — to decide his options. “I have to decide if I’m going to file an appeal, sit back and remuster or make another one that fits with what they want,” he said.

LOCAL NEWS TUCKEREDOUT TWINS
Shopping at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market can be exhausting for twins Aubrey and Emmitt Pastor, all of 22 months old. The downtown market is growing in popularity and is held Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the 200-block of St. Paul Street and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400block of Victoria Street.

Suit alleges sexual rumours TRU PROF CLAIMS FORMER PEER CREATED FALSE STORIES CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Thompson Rivers University law professor is suing a former colleague for allegedly spreading false rumours he was involved in a sexual relationship with another professor. The university also confirmed senior law school administrator Anne Pappas, accused of spreading the false gossip, is no longer employed at the Kamloops post-secondary institution. Prof. Craig Jones is suing Pappas for defamation. The statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court sets out what Jones alleges was Pappas’ scheme to keep herself in power as interim dean of the university’s law school. “In or about early August 2013, Pappas decided to spread a rumour to the effect that Jones and professor [Janna] Promislow had been involved in a sexual relationship and that Jones was the father of professor Promislow’s expected twins,” the statement of claim alleges. The lawsuit claims Pappas made the
statements to three different people, including a student. Those rumours, it said, “were completely false . . . He and professor Promislow did not socialize outside of their employment relationship whatsoever.” A statement of defence has not been filed by Pappas and none of the allegations have been heard or proven in court. Promislow offered to provide medical evidence to the university refuting the claim that Jones fathered her twins. Jones claims Pappas made the defamatory statements because she “came to view Jones as a rival for the deanship and believed he was undermining her in what became a power struggle between her and the majority of faculty members.” Pappas was first hired as an assistant dean to Chris Axworthy, the former high-profile politician who became dean of what was then Canada’s newest law school. When Axworthy left TRU amid controversy, Pappas was named interim dean. The university later
re-established her as assistant dean. While the university is not a party to the lawsuit, Jones claims it sided with Pappas and initially refused to take steps to clear the reputations of himself and Promislow. Eventually, the lawsuit states, the university administration “after repeated and insistent requests by Jones and Professor Promislow” undertook an investigation late last year. “As a result, by early June 2015, the university satisfied itself that Pappas had repeatedly made false and derogatory statements about Jones to undermine him,” the lawsuit states. But, the lawsuit claims, TRU president Alan Shaver ordered
Jones and Promislow not to distribute university documents, given to them by him, about Pappas’s wrongdoing. Pappas was then given a nine-month period of leave “under a veil of secrecy and active misinformation.” The lawsuit includes a May letter from the university stating Pappas has done a “tremendous job these last five years in establishing TRU Law.” The university also stated in the letter that Pappas took leave to “recharge her batteries” and would return to her position early in March 2016. However, a university official has confirmed to KTW that Pappas is no longer employed at TRU.

NO DEBATE ABOUT TONIGHT’S VIEWING
C
onsider the election-campaign season officially underway tonight. For political junkies, it does not get much better than tonight’s schedule, with the first federal election leaders debate starting at 5 p.m. and the first Republican candidates debate south of the border beginning at 6 p.m. Toss in an intriguing CFL contest between the B.C. Lions and Edmonton Eskimos at 7 p.m. and you have what many might consider the perfect evening. While the focus in Cleveland is on blustery early frontrunner Donald Trump, the debate in Toronto is much more important, considering the leaders need to convince undecided voters with the election two months away. The debate tonight will feature all the major party leaders — Conservative Stephen Harper, New Democrat Thomas Mulcair, Liberal Justin Trudeau and Green Elizabeth May. It can be seen on CityTV (channel 219 on Shaw; channel 106 on Telus Optik) and online at macleans.ca. Lest one dismiss the impact of debates, think back to the first televised presidential debate, the Sept. 26, 1960, verbal match between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon. According to the Museum of Broadcast History, radio listeners gave Nixon the win based on what was said. TV viewers scored a victory for Kennedy, based partially on appearance. And don’t forget landmark moments in Canadian debates that led to political history. The current B.C. Liberal government likely would not exist were it not for these words of 1991: “Here’s a classic example of why nothing ever gets done in the province of British Columbia.” And the current Conservative success may not have been achieved without this quip from 1984: “You had an option, sir.” Tonight, we all have an option. Sit back and enjoy the shows.

Kudos to Kamloops City Hall
I
t’s so easy to take shots at city hall when it does something that makes you stop and just scratch your head. I’ve done it often enough in this column through the years as I write about various people sitting around the horseshoe on Victoria Street. That’s why when things are going great, it’s appropriate to take some time and point that out. First, since I do not live in the downtown area nor on the North Shore, going through the two major construction sites now dominating life in Kamloops isn’t something that naturally occurs for me, so I’ve made a conscious effort to take those routes frequently. Complain all you want, but those road-construction projects are going great and really aren’t that big of an inconvenience. The Columbia Street expansion, something I could never actually picture in my head in any “it will definitely work” way looks like it will definitely work. Let’s just ignore that more bewildering job east at the intersection with Sixth Avenue. I guess it’s a natural reality when you go from mainly retail/ commercial to residential. Let’s leave that conundrum to rest in the past with whatever planner thought it was a good idea. The rest of the work is moving quickly. Flag personnel are great about getting traffic through while ensuring workers are safe. The expanded street — as it
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL appears to be, with much of the paving done — looks like a good thing. Moving north to the Overlanders Bridge reconstruction, volunteer work sees me taking that route often, usually several times a week and always at what might be considered peak traffic time, right after work. All the positive stuff related to Columbia Street could be used to describe the bridge work, too. I’m looking forward to not having to avoid that big pothole that you knew would be there post-winter every year. You know the one. It jarred our suspensions if we were in the outside lane just coming off West Victoria to head over the river. Let’s leave roadwork and move on to another wise decision the city has made, albeit one that has left everyone — including members of my family — angry. The city has no business interfering with the Emterra strike.
It’s the cost of doing business with a contractor that has unionized staff. Yes, it’s annoying to have all those recyclables piling up, but our inconvenience should never interfere with the right of fellow Kamloopsians already being paid a low wage to try to improve their working conditions. Maybe the city should look at some sort of rebate, since this strike has dragged on for weeks and shows no obvious signs of resolution. And, moving on to a specific road, good on the city for moving forward with plans for social housing on McMurdo Drive. The decision was made years ago and now the request for proposals for that site and two others in the city are expected to soon be coming out of city hall. What is it about the words “social housing” that can inflame people so much? When I moved here, this city was agonizing over the idea of the Victory Inn. We want to help end homelessness and look after the less fortunate. Study after study tells us one of the best ways to do that is to give these folks a roof above and four walls around them — a place to call their own. That’s how we move forward as a city. Yes, better roads and bridges help, but what makes a community truly great is the way it treats people not as well off as the rest of us. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WHERE IS CITY’S BACK-UP PLAN DURING STRIKE? Editor: What is mayor and city council doing to rectify the problems created as a result of the ongoing strike by Emterra recycling workers? When will we get the rebate cheques to return the money gathered, but not used, because of the strike? The city should have had a back-up plan before going into a new system. I have seen no indication that council is now working on a solution. It appears to me that council, under the
leadership of the mayor, is doing absolutely nothing. The rights of Emterra workers are not being taken into account. They receive less than a living wage and are being penalized, as many do not have the credentials to obtain a better job. Is this fair? This strike could go on indefinitely, so city council must create a back-up plan now. The danger of fire — as people have to store their recyclables in garages and base-
ments — increases the longer the strike continues. Many people have given up and have placed everything in their garbage, to be picked up weekly. This just compounds the problems. We must receive leadership from mayor and council to rectify this problem. I am feeling very irritated because of the lack of services. Alison M. Patton Kamloops
CITY HALL NEEDS A PLAN B FOR RECYCLABLES Editor: We are now a full month into our recycling strike. I haven’t been able to find a spot in the city to take our nonrefundable recyclables to and we’ve run out of storage space. It seems like we’re about ready to join cities throughout Bangladesh, China, Kuwait and
Korea in sending our recyclables to the dump. I’m willing to get my recyclables to a place that will take them and even pay for the privilege (over and above the tax dollars I’ve already paid). Any suggestions? I’ve taken to just stripping my purchases bare at Walmart and
leaving the gobs of packaging with them at the checkout, since I don’t want it. If we as a society are so focused on maxing out our packaging, we have to also max out our recycling. If the City of Kamloops, Emterra and its employees aren’t willing to come to some kind of
agreement now, we need a viable plan B. Perhaps we should all strip our purchases of their absurd amounts of packaging at every checkout and leave it to the big, rich corporations to weigh in on all this extra junk. Erin Mitchell Kamloops
GRATITUDE — FROM LILLOOET TO WESTSYDE Editor: We wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful person(s) who turned in the small black purse left on a luggage cart in the Kamloops Airport parking lot on July 20. You saved a young girl’s first trip out West. She was very lucky, indeed. All the best. Carol Gallant Lillooet
Editor: I would like to thank the Westsyde Community Development Society and all the people who contributed to the super-duper (for want of a better word) splash park in Westsyde’s Centennial Park. What a wonderful asset for our community. Many thanks to everyone involved. We are proud of you all. June Gibbons Kamloops

The independent agency that investigates complaints against the RCMP is closing its B.C. intake office in Surrey to cut costs and centralize staff in Ottawa. The move by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP has sparked criticism that police oversight could falter. “B.C. was not consulted on this decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said in a statement. “We’ll be watching to ensure there is no reduction in service, as we are the largest RCMP jurisdiction and we expect the commission and the federal government to be accountable to British Columbians.” The RCMP’s E Division has 7,100 officers policing B.C. That’s 37 per cent of all RCMP officers across Canada and more than are deployed in any other province. About 3,600 inquiries or formal complaints are lodged against the RCMP nation-wide each year. The office in Surrey will close by the end of the year and money saved will fund more investigations, officials say. “We’re trying to redirect some of our
resources to make sure they’re properly used to address the concerns Canadians have,” commission spokesperson Kate McDerby said. The new agency took over from the former Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP in late 2014, with an expanded mandate. Besides responding to complaints involving officers it also monitors wider trends and developments in RCMP policy and practice. Former commission chair Shirley Heafey said the office was first set up in recognition that the high proportion of officers in B.C. made a presence in the province “extremely important.” She said she’s not confident the agency will be as responsive after it’s gone. “I find it very, very sad,” said Heafey, who was with the commission for eight years, until 2007. “I don’t know exactly who made the decision, but it’s a bad one.” Heafey said the Surrey office staff were highly effective at organizing face-to-face mediation to resolve complaints quickly and at less cost than an investigation that can last two years. “Usually, when they sit down and talk
to each other, things can be resolved,” Heafey said, estimating 800 complaints a year were resolved that way. “Otherwise, these complaints hang over the police officer’s head for a long time and the complainant is waiting and waiting.” McDerby said the Surrey office took in complaints from across the country — not just B.C. — but does not conduct any investigations itself and has not been involved in any mediation in recent years. Incoming complaints are initially sent to the RCMP for investigation and commission staff only looks into them further if the complainant is dissatisfied with the outcome, she said. Many complaints are now filed online rather than by phone, McDerby added. Closing the Surrey office won’t change how complaints against officers in B.C. are made or processed, she added. McDerby was unable to say how much money will be saved by closing the Surrey office. Eight full-time staff there are mostly retiring or leaving voluntarily. The commission’s goal is to increase public confidence in the RCMP by increasing transparency and accountability. Its annual budget is $11.4 million.

the kind of food being sought out and make several suggestions. Dumbrell said she tries to change her recommendations to ensure everyone is covered, for example. The teams get to know the street people, checking in on them, providing some bottled water on scorchinghot days or one of the tokens from Erwin’s Fine Baking that will net them a breakfast sandwich. If necessary, they will suggest they move along if it looks like they’re loitering. They’ll also check out what they call hot spots, locations often in alleys behind businesses where there might be transients,
discarded needles — anything that detracts from the image the KCBIA and its members promote for the area. Sometimes it may mean bringing in bylaw officers to deal with someone or ASK Wellness Centre outreach worker Ken Salter. CAP members have the equipment and training to deal with discarded needles. On the day KTW took a walk with the pair, they checked in on a shopping cart in an alley, taking time to pick up a few items. The women said they know who owns it — CAP teams get to know almost every
transient in the downtown — and knew he would come back and retrieve it later. Checking out the rest of the alley, the women noted it was “looking pretty clean this morning.” There’s a leadership component for the team members. Pooler led a series of workshops during an eight-week period that addressed various aspects of it and each has had to learn to be comfortable with public speaking. “Part of the program is to help prepare them for the future,” she said of the CAP members. “We tend to get keeners who just help the program grow.”
CAP team by the numbers: Last year, the CAP team dealt with 182 street issues. It was required to do a needle pickup or call in bylaws or the RCMP 247 times and provided or called for medical assistance 18 times. There were 3,645 tourism-related interactions. This year, as of mid-July, statistics include: • Street referrals or assistance: 65 • Needles found: 62 • First-aid applied: 18 • Assisted tourists on the street: 265 • Assisted tourists at the kiosk outside the CAP office at 340 Victoria St.: 820 • Total distance walked: 972 kilometres.

ne day, they might spend hours taking down posters taped around poles downtown. Another day, it might be responding to a business owner’s request to scrub away bird poop at the front of their store. When the Rocky Mountaineer trains coast to a stop, they will find themselves deluged with tourists looking for souvenirs, the best place to eat, mountain-bike trails — and they need to have the answers. Through it all, the Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) team members keep smiling. That’s one of the key components of the job, said Laura Dumbrell — a friendly, welcoming face for everyone, be they a newcomer, someone passing through, a local or a homeless person. In essence, said Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), which runs the CAP program every summer, the teams are the eyes and ears of the downtown. They are the easily recognizable promoters of the River City and the people charged with making the downtown area clean, safe and a welcoming area for
all. They’ll walk up to 15 kilometres a day to do it. There’s a move afoot to expand the program year-round. Pooler said several local businesses have offered financial support and she’s waiting to hear if a grant request from the federal government has been approved. Jackie Rechenmacher, who, like Dumbrell, is back for a second time as a CAP member, said expanding into the winter would likely mean the focus would be on safety more than helping tourists. “We have a close relationship with the RCMP and bylaws,” she said. “They help with our training on how to deal with any episodes and be safe.” Started in 2004 after downtown businesses wanted identifiable eyes and ears on the streets to watch for problems and help tourists, the program has been a success, said Pooler. The red-shirted team members patrol an area from First to 10th avenues and from Columbia Street to the South Thompson River — with a focus on the area traditionally identified as downtown. KCBIA administrator Tanya Hamelock said, “Just their presence, just their smiles and their presence, make a big difference.” The team members learn about the businesses in the area and, faced with a request for a dining recommendation, will determine

ULLY’S BLAZERS’ CAREER OVER?
CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER

C
ole Ully will not report to Kamloops Blazers’ training camp later this
month. “I’m going to head down to Dallas at the start of September and they want me to play pro this year so, hopefully, I can do that,” said Ully, who signed an entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars in December. The Blazers were made aware of Dallas’ plans last week. “We prepare that he’s not
coming back. We move on,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “There’s always a chance he could be back, but that depends on how he plays and we don’t have a choice in that. That decision will be made by the Dallas organization.” Ully will attend the NHL prospects tournament, which takes place in Traverse City, Mich., from Sept. 11 to Sept. 15. “He’ll then go to Dallas’ training camp and, if he doesn’t stick with Dallas, he’ll go to Texas,” Hay said. “Cole has a been a real good player here for four years and we wish him all the best.” The Texas Stars are the
American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Dallas Stars, who are owned by Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi. The club plays in Cedar Park, near Austin, the Texas state capital. Ully made his Texas debut on April 17 and registered one point, assisting on a goal scored by former Blazers’ forward Brendan Ranford in a 3-2 victory over the San Antonio Rampage. He saw action in two games as the Stars wrapped up regular-season play in April, with the Blazers having missed the WHL playoffs for the second consecutive season. “That was good, just for my
confidence, to get a couple games in and get a feel for it,” Ully said. “I felt pretty good in the games, so going into camp I’ll be feeling good and confident.” There will be at least four over-age players — forwards Luke Harrison and Matt Needham and defencemen Ryan Rehill and Marc McNulty — at Blazers’ training camp. If Ully’s career in the Tournament Capital is over, the Blazers will have a huge void to fill up front in 2015-2016, with the highly-skilled left-winger having led the team last season with 94 points, 34 of them goals. See KAMLOOPS, A20
John Antulov paced back in front of his team, the group in the midst of yet another set of fitness drills. “Good job, boys, good job,” he said. “There should be no knee bending. “That’s not a pushup. No, that’s still not a pushup.” The head coach of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer team, Antulov was putting his team through the paces this week as it opened training camp for the 2015 season. With more than 40 players in attendance, some of whom were still trying to make the club, there was no shortage of grunting and groaning yesterday — along with a few choice words — as the Pack went through its fifth practice of the camp. By the time the week is out, Antulov will have put the group through 14 workouts — two a day — over the course of seven days. “The guys from last year had a clear mandate of what the expectations were for this year,” he said. “For the most part, everybody has followed up and it has been solid — I’ve been happy.” There was no mis-
taking Antulov’s off-season message: “Bottom line, don’t come in with any pre-conceived notions you’re on the club,” he said. Based on their summer preparations, Antulov said the warning seems to have hit home with his returning players. Though, with plenty of new faces, he admitted there was still a little work to do. “A couple of the first-year guys, I don’t think they knew what the expectations were when I said to be fit,” he said with a smile, as his players cooled down beside him. “But, they’re pretty close, so it shouldn’t take too long.” The WolfPack is preparing for its second season in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association, one of the nation’s top collegiate athletic leagues. Following its inaugural season in 2014, the WolfPack is hoping to take the next step and improve on the 2-8-2 record of their rookie campaign. Antulov said he logged plenty of miles in the off-season, making almost weekly trips to the Lower Mainland to scout and recruit, and expects TRU to boast a deeper, more experienced club in its second season.

WolfPack expect to improve Kamloops Ully’s ‘second home’ From A19
“We’ve got some consistency now, as well,” Antulov said. “Last year, we pretty much had to rebuild and had a lot of new players. Now, a lot of those guys from last year — I would say three-quarters of the guys — are back and ready to go.” Joining a veteran core — which includes goalkeeper Travis Froelich, defenders Corey Wallis and Colton Walker, midfielder Mike Harvey and forwards Oriol Torres and Jason Staiger — will be nearly 20 players entering their freshman or sophomore years. Also returning to the club will be veterans Kyle Fertile (forward) and Braeden Burrows (midfielder), both of whom didn’t play last season. “I think the team looks pretty good,” said Mitchell Popadynetz, who will play his first season for TRU after red-shirting in 2014. Popadynetz played for the national-
champion UBC Thunderbirds in 2013.

VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions took a long look in the mirror this week. Coming off a pair of performances where they jumped out to early leads only to falter badly in demoralizing losses, a measure of inner reflection was needed before getting back on the practice field. "There was a lot of soul searching to make sure that we’re together,’’ Lions’ head coach Jeff Tedford said. “The guys have been really close and working really hard and pushing one another and are really excited to have another opportunity.’’ That opportunity comes tonight when the Lions (2-3) host the red-hot Edmonton Eskimos (4-1) to kick off Week 7 of the CFL season. Game time is 7 p.m. B.C. jumped out to an early 7-0 lead last Thursday on the road against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers thanks to a methodical 14-play, 95-yard touchdown drive, but managed just six points the rest of the way in a 23-13 loss. That defeat came on the heels of stunning collapse on July 24 when the Lions led 21-0 at home against Toronto, only to see the advantage evaporate in a 30-27 Argonauts victory. The Lions have still yet to put together four solid quarters this season — their
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
There has not been much to celebrate in recent weeks for the B.C. Lions, who will look to snap a two-game losing skid tonight against the Edmonton Eskimos in Vancouver.
only two victories are over the winless Saskatchewan Roughriders — and know they need a much better effort to have a chance of stopping an Edmonton team that has won four straight by an average of 23.5 points. “We’ve recovered well this week. I do think the confidence is good,’’ said Lions quarterback Travis Lulay, who threw three interceptions against Winnipeg and has been taking most of the heat for his team’s eight-ranked offence. “We know we have a great challenge.’’ One of the big problems for the Lions in 2015 has been an inability to get back on track quickly when things don’t go their way — something the players said they’re aware of
and trying to correct. “You can feel momentum. It’s a very real thing,’’ Lulay said. “There’s ebbs and flows to every single game. The best games I’ve ever played in, there’s been negative plays or drives. You have to find a way to overcome those.’’ One constant for the Lions has been the play of running back Andrew Harris, who leads the CFL in rushing and is also his team’s second-leading receiver. “He’s an awful good player,’’ Eskimos head coach Chris Jones told reporters in Edmonton this week. “He runs with authority, he catches the ball out of the backfield, he’s faster than you think he is.’’ To get back to .500, B.C. will have to break through against
a stout Edmonton defence that is ranked first overall in yards allowed per game, first against the pass and second against the run. The Eskimos own a league-high 17 sacks and have held opponents out of the end zone over the last two games, surrendering just eight points during that span. “They’re just going out and dominating,’’ said Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips. “That’s really what it just boils down to.’’ Eskimos quarterback Matt Nichols, who’s been handed the keys to the offence in place of the injured Mike Reilly, hasn’t had to put up big numbers because of his team’s defensive prowess so far this season. He will face a B.C. defence that was dominant as recently as last season, but sits last overall in yards allowed per game, last against the pass and last against the run. “You’re judged by your performance week in and week out,’’ Phillips said. “It’s not what you did for me yesterday. Guys have to step up to the plate.’’ That feeling is shared by the rest of his teammates, with Lulay insisting the belief in the Lions’ locker room remains high as B.C. looks to get back on track. “We’ve seen what we’re capable of,’’ said the quarterback. “I do feel like the vibes are good. We just have to go out and make it happen.’’
Sutter inks five-year contract VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have signed Brandon Sutter to a five-year contract extension at an average annual value of US $4.375 million. The club acquired the six-footthree, 190-pound centre and a thirdround pick in 2016 from the Pittsburgh Penguins last week for Nick Bonino, Adam Clendening and a 2016 secondround pick. Sutter, who has a cap hit of $3.3 million in 2015-2016, was set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, but is now under contract through the 20202021 season.
The 26-year-old had 21 goals, 12 assists and 14 penalty minutes in 80 games in mostly a third-line role with Pittsburgh last season behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Sutter also finished with a teamleading 50.6 per cent faceoff efficiency and tied for second in the NHL with four short-handed goals. It’s expected he will be given every opportunity by Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins to be Vancouver’s No. 2 centre behind Henrik Sedin when training camp starts next month. Canucks general manager Jim
Benning said after last week’s trade that he viewed Sutter — the son of former NHL player and coach Brent Sutter — as “a foundation piece for our group.’’ In 495 career NHL games, Sutter has 98 goals, 87 assists and 94 penalty minutes with Pittsburgh and the Carolina Hurricanes. He also recorded 12 points (eight goals, four assists) in 33 playoff games with the Penguins. Drafted 11th overall by the Hurricanes in 2007, Sutter played for Canada at the 2008 world junior championships. — The Canadian Press
Water worries at Olympic venues in Brazil AZAN, Russia — The head of swimming’s governing body said dirty water at next year’s Olympic venues is “not a big problem.’’ An Associated Press investigation last week showed a serious health risk to the
1,400 Olympic athletes who will compete at water venues around Rio de Janeiro that are rife with human waste and sewage. At Copacabana Beach, venue for marathon swimming, an AP study showed
virus readings that water experts in the U.S. said would be considered highly alarming on beaches in the U.S. or Europe. Maglione said water quality is “not a big problem at the moment.’’
He added that FINA is in contact with the International Triathlon Union, which held an Olympic test event at Copacabana last week, to track the health of the triathletes who competed. — The Associated Press

B.C. YOUTH SOCCER CLUB SUSPENDED OVER ALLEGATIONS tioned summer league. Outgoing club head Garry Sangha says the move boils down to other clubs vying for access to the area’s upand-coming players and their registration dollars. Sangha said he wants BC Soccer to overturn the suspension so the children are allowed to play. Club teams will not be allowed to register or participate in any BC Soccer-sanctioned event if the suspension remains in place when the season kicks off next month. — Canadian Press
Las Vegas and Quebec City have advanced to the second of three phases in their bids to land NHL expansion franchises. Bill Foley, who heads the Las Vegas bid, made the announcement on his group’s website yesterday. Montreal-based Quebecor announced on its Twitter account that its Quebec City bid also is moving forward. Foley said Phase 2 will feature bidders providing the NHL additional information regarding their respective markets and arena plans. The bidders will also gain access to certain league-related information. There is a third phase to the process, though it’s unclear when that will begin. Bids must also be approved by the NHL board of governors. The league isn’t expected to expand until 2017-2018. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has proposed an expansion fee of $500 million. — Associated Press

GLOBAL VIEWS
Seventy years without a nuclear war
W
e have been hearing a lot about the 70th anniversary of the first use of a nuclear weapon on human beings, in Hiroshima 70 years ago today. The more important anniversary, however, is Aug. 9, when the last nuclear weapon was used in war, on the city of Nagasaki. It was predictable that atomic bombs would be used as soon as they were developed in 1945. It was the sixth year of the Second World War and more than 60-million people had been killed already. But, nobody would have believed then that nuclear weapons would not be used again in future wars. We cannot be sure they never will be used in war again, of course, but 70 years is already an impressive accomplishent. How did we manage that? One way to answer that question is to consider the
GWYNN DYER
World
WATCH behaviour of U.S. president Harry S Truman, who was the man who decided to drop the first atomic bombs in 1945 — and the first man to decide not to drop them, in 1951. Truman’s decision to drop the bombs in 1945 probably didn’t seem as momentous to him at the time as it looks now. Killing tens of thousands of civilians in cities by mass bombing (Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo) was practically routine by 1945, and the atomic bombs would have seemed like just a
more efficient way of doing the same thing. Besides, the fact that Japanese cities could now be destroyed by a single plane carrying a single bomb might well shock the Japanese government into surrendering. That would spare the lives of all the American soldiers (an estimated 46,000) who would die if Japan had to be invaded. Truman had fought in the First World War (he was the only major Allied war leader who did). Although he was not generally seen as an imaginative man, he would have been vividly aware of the ordeal that awaited American soldiers if they had to invade Japan. He would also have been conscious that the U.S. public would never forgive him if they found out he had the bomb, but didn’t use it to save those soldiers’ lives. So, he gave the orders and the bombs fell, adding a last quarter-million lives
to that 60-million death toll. But, five and a half years later, when U.S. forces in Korea were fleeing south after Chinese troops intervened in the war there (“the big bug-out”), Truman behaved quite differently. It may or may not be true that U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who commanded the United Nations troops in Korea (including one-third of a million Americans), wanted to drop atomic bombs on China’s Manchurian provinces to cut the supply lines of the Chinese troops in Korea. It is certainly true that Truman fired MacArthur and that he did not use nuclear weapons even though thousands of American troops were being killed or captured. By late 1950, the United States had between 50 and 100 nuclear weapons — but the Soviet Union had tested its first atomic bomb in the previous year and, by then, it already had at least a half-dozen of the things.
The era of mutual deterrence had arrived. Truman didn’t know for certain that the Soviet Union would go to war if the U.S. dropped nuclear weapons on China. He would have been fairly certain the Russians didn’t yet have the ability to drop even one on the United States, although they could definitely hit America’s allies in Western Europe. But, it didn’t matter. Once both sides have nuclear weapons, they get a great deal more cautious. In the following decades, many military theorists have worked hard to come up with strategies that would make nuclear weapons useful in war, and many scientists and engineers have worked on new techniques and technologies that would achieve the same objective. But, nobody has ever had enough confidence in their promises to use even one of these weapons in a war.
The number of nuclear weapons in the world (many of them much more powerful than the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs) peaked at around 50,000 in the mid-1980s and has since fallen to about 15,000. The U.S. and Russia still own 93 per cent of them, but seven other countries now have nukes, too — and still nobody has used one in war. It is also true that no great power has fought any other great power directly for 70 years, which is certainly a first in world history. Is this because the two world wars had been so destructive that they created institutions like the UN Security Council to avoid another, or because they knew that great-power wars would probably be nuclear wars? Probably both. But, at any rate, we’re making progress. gwynnedyer.com
Obituaries & In Memoriam MARY “RUTH” ARMSTRONG June 5, 1922 - August 1, 2015 Mary “Ruth” Armstrong passed away peacefully on August 1, 2015 at Kamloops Hospice, with her family by her side. She will be lovingly remembered by her three sons: Barry (Carla), John (Heather), Ernie (Slyvia), two daughters Lil (Doug) and Mary, as well as her grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, nephews, nieces, extended family and friends. Ruth was born in Winnipeg, MB, and in 1935 moved to Vancouver, BC with her family. She is the last surviving member of her family, she had six brothers and one sister. Ruth married Bill in 1950, and raised five children in Vancouver. In 1971, they moved to Kamloops, and Bill passed away in 1975. After Bill passed away, Ruth made a life for herself. She worked part-time at Woodward’s for several years. Some of her favorite activities were five pin bowling, lawn bowling, tai-chi, walking, going to the pool, reading and retail therapy. She was able to travel with her daughter, Mary, and her friend, Dorothy. Ruth loved her family and friends and enjoyed visiting and going on outings with them. Her favourite eating place was the White Spot in North Kamloops. In 1990 Ruth moved to Chartwell and made more friends and joined in on the activities.

If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

NATIONAL NEWS
Canadian exports see biggest surge since 2006 DAVID PADDON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Canada’s trade deficit with the rest of the world shrank in June to a surprisingly low $476 million, as exports experienced the biggest one-month surge in eight-and-a-half years. The value of Canada’s merchandise exports to other countries rose to $44.6 billion in June — up 6.3 per cent, the biggest one-month gain since December 2006 — and exports to the United States rose 7.1 per cent
to $34.2 billion. The total trade deficit — including a smaller decline in imports — was far less than the $3.4 billion gap in May, according to Statistics Canada figures released yesterday. It is also below economist expectations of a $2.8-billion deficit, according to Thomson Reuters. BMO Capital Markets economist Benjamin Reitzes said the solid June figures were likely making up for several months of weakness and probably won’t be repeated in July.
However, there’s reason to think the second half of this year will be better than the first half, driven by stronger U.S. economic growth and the weak Canadian dollar — which probably hasn’t had much impact yet on trade figures, Reitzes said. “You’re starting, maybe, to see it in the June numbers.’’ The Canadian dollar has recently traded near an 11-year low, hovering around the 76-cent U.S. mark. But, Reitzes said it averaged above 80 cents U.S. throughout June and
was above 90 cents U.S. as recently as a year ago. “It takes a little bit longer,’’ Reitzes said. “It can take two to three years to see the full positive impact of the weaker currency.’’ RBC senior economist Nathan Janzen said that forecasters have been counting on a boost in Canadian exports, especially to the United States, due to the competitive advantage of a weaker loonie — but it hadn’t really materialized earlier this year. “We try not to read too much into one data
point, but the June numbers would be consistent with exports

HitchBot back in Canada

Globe-trotting robot returns for rebuild after U.S. destruction THE CANADIAN PRESS
The hitchhiking robot that became a social media darling as it documented its travels throughout the world likely hasn’t taken its last ride, its cocreators said yesterday. Frauke Zeller and David Harris Smith said they’re mulling future travel plans for HitchBot despite the fact that their pet project met a violent and untimely end on the streets of Philadelphia over the weekend. The child-sized, solar-powered machine, which successfully thumbed rides across Canada and travelled parts of Europe without incident, was left in a pile of trash with its arms lying nearby and its head missing altogether. Zeller said the components that survived the attack are currently being shipped home to Canada. The bot’s future is uncertain, but Zeller said it’s entirely possible it could wind up back on the road. “We could either build another HitchBot and send it out on the streets again in Philadelphia next year, or also start a project with schools. Basically have HitchBot go from school to school,’’ Zeller said in a telephone interview. Zeller, a communications professor at Toronto’s Ryerson University, and Harris Smith, an assistant professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, originally conceived the hitchhiking robot as a social experiment to see if machines could develop a trusting bond with human beings. The pair partnered with

HITCHBOT
”
— HitchBot co-creator Frauke Zeller
researchers at the University of Guelph to construct a pintsized, immobile droid that could carry on limited conversations with strangers kind enough to help it travel the world and check items off its bucket list. Strangers helped HitchBot travel from Halifax to Victoria in 19 days in the summer of 2014. The ill-fated U.S. trip saw the bot fulfil at least some of its American dreams, namely doing the wave at a Boston Red Sox baseball game and seeing the lights in New York’s Times Square. Its ultimate goal was to make it to California, and Zeller said it could still finish the trip after the lengthy rebuilding process that would almost certainly not be completed until next year. If they decide to keep HitchBot closer to home, Harris Smith said the country’s schools would be a natural destination for the robot that has already had an impact in Canadian classrooms. “We’ve met at some of our reception events teachers who are using HitchBot to talk about geography, to also talk about different cultures, and also this idea of artificial intelligence and the future of robotics,’’ he said. HitchBot’s co-creators said they had known all along that their experiment could come to
an abrupt end, but the months of unbridled enthusiasm for the project left them poorly prepared for the weekend attack. Fortunately, they said, the public who so readily embraced their creation has issued an outpouring of support in recent days. Zeller said they’re touched by the social media condolences and offers of both logistical help and funds to get HitchBot back on the road. Harris Smith said the more creative shows of support, such as photo montages and even a musical tribute, also help soften the blow. Zeller and Harris Smith said they have no plans to press charges against those who harmed HitchBot in the city of brotherly love. Finding the culprits would have been very difficult. The revelation that widely circulated video purporting to show HitchBot’s last moments was in fact a fake put together by the machine’s last-known companions only complicates the issue. Despite the way HitchBot’s adventures ended, Zeller said the experiment’s central question has been answered with a resounding yes. “We refuse to think that this is now proof that robots can’t trust humans.’’

W has one of the most comprehensive diesel vehicle lineups in Canada. Mercedes-Benz and BMW offers quite a few variants and Chevrolet has their Cruze Diesel. (Note: I’m talking about cars, not trucks.) If you’re looking to go further on a single tank without moving into a hybrid, diesel might be the best option. VW has a plethora of cars to choose from and an SUV. Therefore, whether you need something with plenty of cargo space, a great-looking sedan or off-road ready sport ute, VW has you covered. For example, there’s the popular Golf.
The seventhgeneration vehicle was named the North American Car of the year for 2015 and it’s not hard to see why. There are quite a few body styles to choose from whether you want a threedoor, a five-door or a Sportwagon. And, both the Sportwagon and five-door give drivers the option of a 2.0L, four-cylinder, TDI engine. Horsepower specs come in at 150, while it produces an impressive 236 lb-ft of torque. That torque has reached as low as 1,750 to 3,500 rpm. The main difference between the two aforementioned models is the Sportwagon is a new trim for 2015 and has 860 L of cargo space. The five-door has 490L with the parcel shelf up and 670L with

$22,490, it deserves all the praise it is given. Having tested the Jetta TDI Highline trim — which starts at $29,690 — you get features such as: 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-way power driver’s seat with manual lumbar support, fog lights, leather seating surfaces, a power sunroof and LED signature daytime-running lights.

beer on wheels. Yum. I found it refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features — aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine — is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And, when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but

less work for your left leg. If you find yourself towing a lot or wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five people, the SUV comes with the right touches.

The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there. The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eightspeed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. The centre stack is the perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen, making the infotainment system easy to use. Then there’s the fuel economy. It uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway — not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has allwheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too — the larger Passat sedan and the funky Beetle.
