More changes for drivers Lane changes are coming to both of the city’s major road-construction projects. City of Kamloops transportation coordinator Colleen Lepik said the city expects the southwest off-ramp (connecting to Summit Drive) on Overlanders Bridge to re-open by the middle of the week. Once that work is complete, the bridge’s southeast off-ramp (connecting to West Victoria Street and downtown) will be up for rehabilitation. While crews are at work on the stretch of roadway, drivers will be routed through a temporary bypass using the southwest ramp. Meanwhile, on Columbia Street, the city’s contractor will begin work on the north side of the street between Third and Sixth avenues. Eastbound traffic won’t be affected by the move, but westbound drivers will move to the inside lane, though they will still have access to the new left-turn bays installed during the project. The north sidewalk will also close, with the south side of the street reopened for pedestrians.

Ski operator wants details on pipeline bid CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The head of Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing is expressing frustration with what he said is a lack of detail on the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Mike Wiegele is slated to make a presentation on Sept. 10 in Burnaby as part of hearings convened by the National Energy Board (NEB). “We need to know when the project will take place,” said the founder of the Blue River-based company.
“It could kill us . . . You don’t want construction on your doorstep.” The current Trans Mountain line runs directly through Wiegele’s resort beside the Yellowhead Highway in Blue River. He said guests who come for the experience — and can spend tens of thousands of dollars doing so — don’t want to see a construction site on their dream vacation. Even construction during summer threatens to deter tourists who stay over en route between Alberta and Vancouver. “Every day counts for us,” he said. Carey Johannesson, lead for lands and right-

of-way for Trans Mountain, said the corporation began discussions with Wiegele last year and has been in contact since. While it is dealing with thousands of land owners along the proposed route to twin the pipeline, Johannesson said Wiegele is among a unique group due to his mix of fee-simple lands and Crown leases. Some ranchers are in the same position. Still at play is the route and timing, which Johannesson pledged won’t be in Wiegele’s prime winter season. See PIPELINE’S, A6

Visit from bruin reminder to be Bear Aware
Aug 19
The small black bear wandered into downtown Kamloops on Sunday, heading to an alley near Seymour Street and Seventh Avenue to snack on garbage. Kamloops Mounties were called and simply kept an eye on the baby bruin until it ambled back from where it came — Peterson Creek Park. The problem, as noted by Staff Sgt. Edward Preto, is that the bear could become what is known as a problem bear that is food-conditioned — and those animals do not usually survive in urban environments as they tend to become a threat to people and property. Mounties are reminding the public to follow Ministry of Environment tips to ensure bears survive and thrive — away from humans. Bears are lured into the city by household garbage, pet and livestock food, bird feeders, food scraps and smells from uncleaned barbecues, compost bins, orchards and garden produce. During the early spring to late fall, residents should keep garbage behind closed doors in garages, basements or storage areas. Garbage left in open carports or in backyards is an easy target for bears. Residents should put garbage out on the morning of collection day and not the night before. Residents should also avoid stockpiling garbage and should thoroughly clean garbage containers every two to three days.

A leader in a North Thompson First Nations community agrees with a call by a national group calling for aboriginal Canadians to vote in the October federal election. The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples is urging the nation’s 1.4-million aboriginal people to vote on Oct. 19. The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding includes the small Chu Chua reserve in the North Thompson Valley. Former chief Nathan Matthew said there have been efforts in past to get out the vote. “If we voted as a block, that could make a difference,” the former band chief and educator told KTW. NDP candidate Bill Sundhu said while voter participation among aboriginal people has not traditionally been high, all the parties in the riding “are keenly interested in getting aboriginal persons to vote.” Sundhu noted former veteran New Democrat MP Nelson Riis was successful in getting First Nations votes in the riding. Since the development of the Sun Rivers subdivision in the late 1990s,
ELECTION2015 #elxn42 #kamloops
it is difficult to determine the participation rate of voters from Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. At one time, polls on reserve were exclusively utilized by band members. Matthew said Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have consistently blocked efforts to recognize rights and title and self-government, something he will tell incumbent MP Cathy McLeod if she visits the community. “I’d say, ‘What have you done for First Nations lately?’ I can tell you, not a heck of a lot,” Matthew said.
Senator’s campaigning will remain local
Sen. Nancy Greene Raine worked for several candidates in the 2011 election, but expects any Conservative campaigning to remain close to home this time.
“I’d love to see Cathy [McLeod] get back in,” said Greene Raine, who was named to the Senate by Primer Minister Stephen Harper in 2009. “I’m a Conservative . . . I think Cathy McLeod’s done an outstanding job. “She’s really well respected in the team.” Greene Raine received some criticism from opposition candidates four years ago for her Conservative campaigning. But, she said, rules make it clear she can use her own time to back Conservative causes. Her expenses must be declared by Conservative candidates. Greene Raine campaigned for McLeod and fellow B.C. Conservatives Andrew Saxton and John Weston in 2011. “I’m not holding my breath [this time],” she said about requests to campaign outside the riding while the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy continues. “Senators are not too popular these days,” Green Raine said.

Collection of recycling resumes Take down the soup-can towers and get ready to move your cardboard stacks to the curb. With a strike at Emterra Environmental now resolved, curbside recycling pickup has resumed this week. Households should expect to see their recycling picked up on their regular collection day. If residents have more recycling stored than their carts can hold, the city is recommending they distribute their stockpiles over several pickup days. But, for the first week of collection (until Aug. 21), recycling can also be left curbside in clear plastic bags. Recycling depots at Ord Road and Bunker Road have re-opened and are ready for residents’ use. Emterra’s 10 unionized workers voted unanimously Thursday to accept a deal that will see a wage increase of 22.5 per cent over the next four years.

City employs flat attack ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A flat tire or a loose chain won’t stop cyclists at three of Kamloops’ most popular parks. The city has rolled out three bike-repair stations at Riverside Park, McArthur Island and Kenna Cartwright Park. The stations include a bike pump, wrenches, tire levers and other tools, all of which retract into the bike station when not in use. To deter theft, tools are secured to the stations with aircraft cable. Each station also contains QR codes, which riders
can scan with their smartphones to access bike-repair guides. City sustainability programs co-ordinator Marc Solomon said the repair stations were suggested by the city’s bicycle-advisory committee. Each station cost $2,100 to put together. Solomon said the locations chosen are high-traffic areas that will be available to a wide variety of cyclists. “It’s for everyone who is using a bike. Doesn’t matter if it’s got training wheels or it’s a commuter bike with someone going to their office,” he said. The Riverside Park station is

located by the high-water markers on the riverfront behind Interior Savings Centre; the McArthur station is in front of the arena; and the Kenna Cartwright Park station is located in the main parking lot off Hillside Drive. Solomon said the stations are already getting plenty of use. “Every time I’ve been down there, there’s been someone tinkering with their bike,” he said. The city plans to track the use of the stations. If they are popular enough, additional stations could be added on Schubert Driver or at the Kamloops Bike Ranch.

Bob Fogarty said officers were called to Jostco Computers at 1390 Hillside Dr. — in the row of stores next to City Furniture, across from Aberdeen Mall — at 4:15 a.m. The suspects used their car to cause extensive damage to the storefront during the burglary. As the investigation continues, police are asking witnesses to call 250-8283000.

EXPERT BERWICK ON THE PARK
ADVICE & INFORMATION
Q: I’m looking for accommodations but not sure what I can afford. Where do I begin? A: It’s really important you understand your financial situation. Talk to your banker, accountant or financial planner who all have a good understanding of financial matters. Family members or trusted friends are also good resources. If you own a home, you will likely find that you can afford a retirement community. The more you understand your needs and priorities, the easier it will be to narrow down your search. • Make a priority list of your wants, needs and desires (take into account location, meals, emergency response, amenities, social opportunities, transportation, etc.) • Call your local communities and make a list of the price ranges and what’s included. Ask about any ‘extras’ like telephone, internet, etc. If they are above your budget ask if they have any recommendations. • Plan to tour at least 2 or 3 communities over a couple of months so you can take your time and be as objective as possible. • If you rent and have determined that private communities are not within your budget, there are options. BC has government funded assisted living communities. Some of these communities are subsidized based on income. There are some programs available to seniors requiring assistance in BC: - The department of Veteran Affairs - www.veterans.gc.bc - SAFER - Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters, through BC Housing, where some seniors may qualify for a subsidy to help with monthly rent.

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I was looking for some volunteer work, and this program suited my schedule and fit with my life. It has been very rewarding. What do you enjoy about the Traditional Big Sisters Program? I enjoy spending time with my little, seeing the world from her perspective. I have noticed an increase in her confidence, and her comfort level. We were very well matched and surprisingly have a lot in common. How often do you see your Little and what do you do? I see her once per week for 2-4 hours per visit. We do many things. It’s usually a joint decision on what we do. We do crafts, swimming, cooking, movies, library visits. Currently we are working on a journal that documents each of our visits and what we did for a year. Who would you recommend this program to? I would recommend this program to everyone. You may think that you aren’t making a difference, but you are, in many ways. It’s a very good feeling. How has your Little benefitted from the program? I’m probably not the best person to answer this question. In my opinion my little has become more confident and outgoing. We have a lot to talk about all the time, and every week I learn something new about her. Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? I think this is one of the best programs out there. BBBS gives you an opportunity to help effect a change in a child’s life. Children are the future of this world, and we need to look after them and support them. This is one way we can do that. Is there anything else you would like to add? If you want to make a difference, this is the program for you. These children count on you, so make sure you will commit the time before beginning the process.

“We’re going to be doing construction in summer,” he said. Johannesson said representatives will meet with Wiegele next week to get into more detail about routing, timing and compensation. It has made a compensation offer on fee simple lands, but not on Crown lands where Wiegele has a licence for use. “We’re still in the process of having that discussion,” Johannesson said. Even if the project is approved in early 2016, construction permits are unlikely until the spring of next year. Earlier this week, more than 30 people

scheduled to make presentations to the NEB hearings next month pulled out, calling the process biased. Wiegele said he believes the project will be beneficial overall to the province and country, but remains concerned about lack of detail from Kinder Morgan. Johannesson said Wiegele’s property is unique, but his questions as a landowner are not, including about timing and what the project will look like when complete. Johannesson said the company will provide more clarity in the coming months. The original Trans Mountain Pipeline was built in 1953.
Trans Mountain is proposing an expansion of this existing 1,150-kilometre pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. The proposed expansion, if approved, would create a twinned pipeline that would increase the nominal capacity of the system from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day. The twinned line would come through Kamloops, with Kinder Morgan seeking to run it alongside an existing Telus rightof-way in the Lac Du Bois Grasslands Provincial Park above Westsyde. Last summer,

Kinder Morgan filed updated information with the National Energy Board, including an alternative corridor in the local area. Should the Ajax project receive all its necessary regulatory approvals, both Trans Mountain’s existing pipeline and the proposed pipeline corridor would require relocation for the purposes of mine activities. Kinder Morgan has identified an alternative pipeline corridor. Should the existing pipeline need to be relocated, it would undergo a separate regulatory process from the facilities application under consideration by the NEB for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

MIXED MESSAGES WITH DRUG USE
C
onsidering the mixed messages our culture sends about the use and abuse of drugs, it’s no surprise to see the growing abuse of the narcotic pain reliever fentanyl linked to a growing number of deaths. For instance, alcohol is easily available and, with ongoing changes to liquor regulations, becoming more available all the time. Make no mistake, though, alcohol in all its forms — from light beers to 190-proof grain alcohol — is a drug. It’s addictive and can damage the brain, both in the short-term and over the long term. Withdrawal can be painful and can lead to depression and suicide. Yet alcohol use is accepted and even promoted in society, while marijuana has been so demonized that its medicinal effects are still under fire. And, like it or not, performance-enhancing drugs are common at all levels of professional sport. A recent CBC documentary made the point that professional football, as it is today, could not exist without painkillers. At that level, even common painkillers, let alone Oxycodone, become performance-enhancing drugs. Then there is sugar, perhaps the most easily acquired drug of all. It’s so common that its addictive effects are rarely recognized. Various studies have shown sugar has some effects on opioid pathways within the brain, the same system manipulated by drugs like heroin and morphine. The bottom line is society deems some drugs with bad effects are OK, while others are not. This isn’t an argument for the legalization of drugs or their criminalization, for that matter. It’s a call for reason. Instead of trying to categorize drugs into good vs. evil, let’s instead reinforce the message that anything not used in moderation can lead to ill effects. It’s a message that could be printed right on those boxes of sugary cereal sitting on the breakfast table.

More time for voters to care?
S
everal readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign. They pointed out, among other things, there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada, as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And, thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending, whether they want to or not. That’s the system as it is today so, rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise. First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and Green Leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative Leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by the Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers. On Sept. 28, there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of the latter two debates. The national media have decided the biggest issue is the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care. The expense-account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees. Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional. Trudeau has promised changes to the senate-appointment process, but no specifics so far. Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them.
Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny. Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt. Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves and accelerated spending on school infrastructure. Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67. All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them — and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs the parties would prefer not to discuss. Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
VANDALISM HAS NO PLACE IN CAMPAIGN Editor: As KTW has reported, incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod is having some issues with respect to vandalism. I find this appalling — and not because this is something new as it happens almost every election campaign. However, to create a sticker with the word “corrupt” and affixing it to McLeod’s campaign signs is over the top and might lead one to suspect a concerted effort is in play to discredit her.
Leaving an injured bird, a doll’s head and a jar of water outside her constituency office is a little much as well. There are forums to object or disagree with the Conservative party platform and past performance. McLeod may have not done her job up to expectations according to some; however, to accuse her of corruption in the manner of putting stickers on her signs is a coward’s way of dealing with the issues. This is not to mention corruption is
a serious matter. Even if one believes she is not deserving of another term representing us in Parliament, these culprits should not disrespect her, nor anyone else for that matter, with regard to all the hard work she has done. These opinions come from an individual who has never voted Conservative. Dave Brummund Kamloops
NON-PROFITS NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL WITH CHEQUE-SIGNING Editor: Re: (‘Leong fined for misusing funds’): I would like to set the record straight on this unfortunate occurrence. At no time was it agreed by myself or the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society board of directors that there was an agreement for Joe Leong to use the funds for any investments
or personal use. I did not “cut” a $100,000 cheque for Leong as I did not write any cheques during this time period. I was the co-signer due to my pre-signing blank cheques, which were to pay for any current expenses, each which would have been backed by an invoice or an agreement by the board to pay out funds.
Leong was trusted to do just that. The Society Act is very clear that directors of the society are not to have any personal financial gains from society funds or activities. I would suggest all non-profit societies be careful of the practice of pre-signing cheques. This is a common practice for covering expenses of any society
or association. No matter how much trust you may have in your treasurer, the temptation may be too great. Joe Leong was my friend and myself and the Kamloops Heritage Railway directors trusted him explicitly. Glen Wideman past-president Kamloops Heritage Railway Society
TELUS, SUBCONTRACTORS CAN DO BETTER WITH INSTALLATION Editor: Is it just me or do others think Telus and its subcontractors are showing corporate arrogance as to where they are locating their fiberoptic termination boxes that are anchored to their overhead cables? These things are being placed right in the line of site of homeowners’ picture windows, sundeck views, etc. Surely they can come up with an installation standard in which the boxes are installed on the poles themselves to prevent additional
clutter and further intrusion on our views. Also, nice touch with the big black tyraps that are being discarded on the ground and left behind as installation is taking place. Perhaps our city can take advantage of our litter bylaws and fine Telus for each tyrap residents turn in. It would be a great revenue source. I can start it off by bringing in the two I picked up beside my place. Tim Harshnin Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: AS DEATH TOLL RISES, ASK WELLNESS SEEKS FENTANYL-TESTING EQUIPMENT:
“A few things desperately need to be put in perspective: Fentanyl is an extremely common drug used in pain management, anesthesia and in procedural sedation. “It is safe and effective when used in the right context. Its dosages reflect its high potency. “The media and laymen attention given to fentanyl is creating a phobia of the drug in mainstream medical practice. “People who use illicit street drugs risk their lives every time they use, regardless of what they are abusing. Heroin has killed thousands of people in B.C. — far more than has fentanyl. “The problem isn’t the drug. The problem is the people who use the drug.

Warning stickers on gas pumps? ANDREA KLASSEN

The images on the labels look cheerful enough: baby wildlife on the Canadian tundra, a vibrant coral reef, children in an African desert. But, the message printed below is more serious: “Warning. Use of this fuel product contributes to climate change.” If the non-profit group Our Horizon gets its way at city council today, the stickers could soon bedeck gas pumps across the Tournament Capital. A representative from the group will speak to council today, asking local politicians to consider making climatechange and air-pollution warning labels mandatory on gas pumps in Kamloops. “We think the labels are a unique way to engage fossil-fuel users and create space for government and industry to implement climate-friendly trans-
portation options,” Matt Hulse states in today’s council agenda. “It’s a concept that is gaining momentum across Canada and in the USA.” According to its website, the group sees the warning labels as a way to “honestly face” the realities of climate change — which it considers the first step in dealing with the environmental issue. “We’re running out of time Should climate-change and air-pollition with climate change,” the group’s warning labels be on gas pumps? mission statement says. “We need something to shake us out of our sense of complaeditor@kamloopsthisweek.com cency.

Out with the ‘Kamloops,’ in with the new The Kamloops Blazers have introduced a refined version of their logo and created a secondary logo. Part-owner Mark Recchi said removing the word Kamloops from the team’s traditional logo gives the Blazers a fresh, clean look. That was the only change made in the logo’s refinement. Daryl Reaugh, who played for the Junior Oilers and Blazers from 1983 to 1985, was instrumental in the updated logo, according to a club press release. “Editing ‘Kamloops’ from the main logo was done with much discourse but, ultimately, was felt needed in an effort to make the front of the uniform less wordy,” Reaugh said. “The result of this subtle augmentation
has created a bolder, more streamlined appearance of the storied Blazer emblem.” Reaugh is a member of the Dallas Stars’ broadcast team. Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi also owns the Stars. Kamloops had appeared in the team’s logo since at least 1985 in the WHL’s annual guide. The secondary logo depicts three Kamloops landmarks — Mount Peter, Mount Paul and the Thompson River. The new logo, which will feature as a shoulder patch on the Blazers’ home and away jerseys this season, uses the club’s traditional blue, orange and white colour scheme. Updated home and away jerseys will be introduced prior to the upcoming season.
Broncos fall to Raiders on Vancouver Island Just when it looked like the Kamloops Broncos would post their first-ever win over the Vancouver Island Raiders, the Nanaimo-based club mounted a second-half comeback to down the visitors from the Tournament Capital on Saturday. The Raiders (3-1) scored 28 points in the last two quarters and won 35-26. Kamloops burst out of the gate in the first half, with quarterback Stephen Schuweiler guiding the offence to 20 points and the Broncos’ defence limiting Vancouver Island to seven points. Schuweiler set a B.C. Football Conference record with 35 completions, two of them to receiver Derek Yachison for touchdowns. The completions record was held previously by former
Raiders pivot Jordan Yantz, who threw 29 complete passes in 2010. The Kamloops quarterback’s favourite target on Saturday was Devin Csincsa, who finished with 12 receptions — a Broncos’ record — and 136 yards. Running back Jacob Palmarin had 12 carries for 63 yards and one major. Turnovers hurt Kamloops and none were more costly than a fourth-quarter interception that saw Raiders’ defensive back Cole Virtanen rumble 95 yards for a touchdown. He finished with two interceptions. Kamloops’ defensive highlights included Braden Vankoughnett making seven tackles, Derek Trager intercepting a pass and Tevin McCarty registering a sack. The loss puts the Broncos
in a tie for third place with the Langley Rams, who dropped to 2-2 after the Okanagan Sun beat them 32-13 in Kelowna on Saturday. Okanagan looks to be the class of the league this season, boasting a perfect 4-0 record heading into Week 5. In other weekend action, the woes continued for the Valley Huskers. The Westshore Rebels of Langford moved to 1-3 with their first victory over the campaign, throttling the visitors from Chilliwack 45-14 victory. Valley has been outscored 233-31 in four games this season, each of them losses. Kamloops will get another crack at posting its first win in nine seasons over Vancouver Island at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m.

Sun Devils finish fourth at U-21 Canadian championship It was close, but no medal for the Kamloops Sun Devils at the 2015 U-21 National Men’s Baseball Championship. On Sunday, the Sun Devils lost 10-3 to Quebec in the championship semifinal before falling 6-1 to Ontario in the bronze medal game. The tournament was played in Regina. In the championship semifinal, Regan Gillis was the losing pitcher for the Sun Devils. He went threeand-two-thirds innings, giving up nine runs on six hits while striking out three and walking two. Josh Hillis was two-for-two with a double, while Blayne Halland was two-for-three with an RBI. The bronze medal match saw Erik Brownell tagged with the loss. Most of the Sun Devils are members of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack baseball team and will now be joining their teammates over the age of 21 at the National Senior Baseball Championship, which begins later this week in Chatham, N.B.

Briere retires after 17 NHL seasons THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Danny Briere, the undersized centre who went on to become an NHL All-Star and keyed the Philadelphia Flyers’ run to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, has retired. Briere ended a 17-year career yesterday that saw him play for the Phoenix Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres, Flyers, Montreal Canadiens and Colorado Avalanche. Briere spent the bulk of his career with the Sabres and Flyers and earned AllStar nods playing for both franchises. Generously listed at five-foot-nine, Briere was MVP of the 2006 All-Star game, the same year he helped lead the Sabres to the Eastern Conference finals. Briere shone in 2010 when he set a Flyers
DANNY BRIERE record with 30 points (12 goals) in 23 playoff games. Four of his goals were game-winners and he brought the Flyers all the way to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The native of Gatineau, Que., Briere was a firstround selection (24th overall) by the Coyotes in the 1996 draft. He had 307 goals and 389 assists for 696 career points. Briere had 116 points (53 goals) in 124
career playoff games. “After taking a few weeks to think about it, it’s time to hang them up and spend a little more time at home with the family,’’ Briere said. “I’ve been very, very fortunate to have a chance to play with some great organizations but, at this point, the family becomes a priority. “The Flyers are where I played the bulk of my career. I’ve had a great time in Philadelphia and have been very, very fortunate to have the chance to play here.’’ Briere thanked Flyers owner Ed Snider, team president Paul Holmgren and former executive Peter Luukko. The Flyers signed Briere to an eight-year, US$52million contract in 2007. He played last season with Colorado and scored eight goals in 57 games.
Darnell Nurse inspired by sister Kia’s performance Basketball player led Canada to Pan Am, Americas titles JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Darnell Nurse doesn’t know how he can keep up with his younger sister Kia. Kia helped Canada win the FIBA Americas women’s championship on Sunday night, clinching an Olympic berth at the 2016 Rio Games. She was also instrumental in Canada’s gold-medal performance at the Pan American Games in Toronto earlier this summer. “I’m not sure what I can do,’’ said Darnell, a defenceman in the Edmonton Oilers’ organization. “Maybe I’ll have to get out of my comfort zone and challenge her to a oneon-one game on the street before I leave for Edmonton. “We’ll see. I’ve got a lot of practising to do.’’ Asked if he’d played Kia at basketball recently,
Darnell said that discretion had been the better part of valour. “Not for a long time, I’m smarter than that,’’ he said on Monday at a pre-season training camp in midtown Toronto. “That’d be tough on the confidence, going out there and losing to your little sister.’’ Kia scored 20 points as Canada beat Cuba 82-66 in the gold-medal game on Sunday in Edmonton. Canada needed to win the tournament to guarantee a trip to the upcoming Summer Olympics. It’s only the second time Canada has won the Americas tournament, previously winning it in 1995 in Hamilton — the Nurses’ hometown. “I watched it and couldn’t be more proud,’’ Darnell said of Kia’s performance. “It’s going to be exciting.
I’m looking forward to booking my trip to Rio.’’ Kia also had 33 points, five rebounds and three assists in Canada’s 81-73 win over the United States for gold at the Pan American Games. That effort saw her named Canada’s flag-bearer at the Pan Am’s closing ceremony. “It’s not a rivalry anymore,’’ said Darnell. “I think we’re just each other’s biggest supporters, each other’s biggest fans. It was awesome to see her go out there and put on a performance like she did. “She’s showing the type of leadership that she has. Her ability to step up in big moments it’s definitely inspiring. She’s one of my greatest inspirations to see what she’s doing now. “I’m just looking forward to going and trying to one up her somehow in the next year.’’

Day captures first major at PGA Championship Australian native bests Spieth, McIlroy at Whistling Straits while moving to No. 3 in world golf rankings DOUG FERGUSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — A year of major heartache ended with Jason Day breaking through in a major way Sunday at the PGA Championship. With at least a share of the 54-hole lead for the third straight major, Day never gave Jordan
Spieth or anyone else much of a chance at Whistling Straits. He closed with a 5-under 67 for a threeshot victory and broke Tiger Woods’ major championship record for most strokes under par by finishing at 20 under. In tears before tapping in for par, Day hugged his son and
wife and then Spieth, who earned a small consolation prize with his runner-up finish. Spieth moved to No. 1 in the world, ending the one-year reign of Rory McIlroy. “I didn’t expect I was going to cry,’’ Day said. “A lot of emotion has come out because I’ve been so close so many times and fallen short.

“To be able to play the way I did today, especially with Jordan in my group, I could tell that he was the favourite. Just to be able to finish the way I did was amazing.’’ What a journey for the 27-year Australian. He understood hard times as a youth when his father died of cancer when Day was 12. For all his talent, he was questioned for winning only one tournament in five years on the PGA Tour. With a share of the lead at the U.S. Open and British Open, he had to watch someone else celebrate. Not on this day. Not even close. Day started the final round with a two-shot lead and no one got any closer than that the entire day. His lone shaky moment came at the end of the front nine, when he made his first bogey on No. 8 and then chunked a wedge from the fairway on No. 9. But, he saved par
with an eight-foot putt and was on his way. And he knew it at the end. With a three-shot lead on the par-5 16th, Day hit a high draw onto the green, bit his lower lip and swatted longtime coach and caddie Colin Swatton in the arm. That two-putt birdie took him to 20 under, and two pars sealed the victory. Woods finished at 19 under when he won the 2000 British Open at St. Andrews. Spieth was chasing history again — Woods and Ben Hogan are the only two players to win three majors in the same season — but the Masters and U.S. Open champion had a tougher time chasing Day. The 22-year-old Texan missed a pair of birdie putts early on the back nine, and he struggled with his driver on the front nine. But he’s not sure it would have mattered. Day wasn’t going to let this chance get a way, and everyone knew it.

“It was Jason’s day,’’ he said. “He played like he’d won seven or eight majors. He took it back. He wailed on it. It was a stripe show.’’ Spieth set a record of his own. By closing with a 68, he set a record by playing the four majors in 54-under par, breaking by one the mark that Woods set in 2000. The difference is that Woods won two majors by a combined 23 shots. That also speaks to the depth of golf in this generation, and Day is the latest example. He moved to No. 3 in the world, meaning the top four in the world are all under 27 and have combined to win five of the last six majors. It starts with Spieth, the second-youngest player behind Woods to reach No. 1. Spieth got there in his 77th start as a pro. Woods was 21 when he became No. 1 for the first time in just his 21st tournament. “It’s an unbelievable feeling,’’ Spieth said. “So much work has been put in. What a year it’s been.’’ Branden Grace of South Africa had another mistake on the back nine in a major that cost him. Grace was tied for the lead at the U.S. Open when he hit his tee shot on the railroad tracks and out-of-
bounds at Chambers Bay. This time, he was two shots behind when he went long of the 10th green and made double bogey. He closed with a 69 and finished third, five shots behind. Justin Rose got within two shots until making a double bogey for the third straight day. He closed with a 70 and finished fourth. Day faced enormous pressure of having a lead for the first time going into the final round, trying to avoid becoming the first player since the PGA Championship went to stroke play in 1958 to have at least a share of the 54-hole lead in three straight majors without winning. It sure didn’t show. “There wasn’t a whole lot I could have done today,’’ Spieth said. Day won for the third time this year on the PGA Tour — one behind Spieth — and sixth time in his career. McIlroy made a solid return from an ankle injury that kept him out since the U.S. Open. He had a 68-69 weekend and finished 17th, though it wasn’t enough to stay No. 1 “Honestly, the way Jordan has been playing and the way I haven’t played much this year . . . if he does go to No. 1 today, it’s very deservedly so,’’ McIlroy said.

Couture, NHL players among fans getting caught up in Blue Jays fever STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Logan Couture was just a preschooler when the Toronto Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and ‘93. Wearing his team-logo pyjamas, the future San Jose Sharks forward fought to stay awake to watch the games. Matt Moulson of the Buffalo Sabres has homeplate dirt from the 1993 victory. His father took him downtown from their Mississauga home to celebrate each of those championships. Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals hasn’t been alive to see the Blue Jays even make the playoffs. He’s ready. Just like fans across Canada, NHL players are getting caught up in Blue Jays fever. Couture watches every game, even when in San Jose, because after so many games without much of a payoff, he doesn’t want to miss anything now. “Even before some of our games I’m following,’’ Couture said. “I’m a pretty die-hard fan, so to finally see them putting a streak like this together and to give themselves a chance to make the post-season has been pretty incredible as a fan.’’ Along with Couture, you can count Sharks teammate Joel Ward, Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and Teddy Purcell of the Edmonton Oilers among the hockey players who are also Blue Jays fans. The past few weeks have been something special, since the Blue Jays acquired shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and ace pitcher David Price at the end of July and won 15 of 18 games. Couture left his phone at home on July 30 to play golf and returned to 27 text messages about Toronto getting Price. “I definitely did not see that coming,’’ Couture said. Wilson, 21, got to his third game of the season a few days later using tickets from relief pitcher and Capitals fan Brett Cecil and sat in the row behind Price’s parents for the lefty’s debut. “He obviously really earned the hometown

respect right out of the gate,’’ said Wilson, who lives a short walk from Rogers Centre. “He had bases loaded, zero out and he dialed in and got out of that jam. “He’s been nothing but great so far. “I think everyone’s just really excited to have something to cheer about and have the Jays doing so well.’’ Moulson watched every game growing up and catches what he can now while living with his wife and children in Connecticut. With the Blue Jays chasing down the rival New York Yankees for the American League East Division title, the 31-year-old Moulson hopes a playoff run makes a difference for his family. “Hopefully we’ll get to a couple games and turn the wife and kids into Jays fans,’’ Moulson said. “My kids are really young, so they’ve got Yankees and Jays hats. “My wife’s from the New York-Connecticut area. She’s not a big Yankees fan. She could easily be switched.’’ It’ll be time for the NHL season to get started when the MLB post-season begins, so Couture is root-

Hutchison demoted a day after win over Yankees THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The Blue Jays have sent right-hander Drew Hutchison to triple-A Buffalo a day after he pitched Toronto to a win over the rival New York Yankees. Hutchison pitched 6 2/3 string innings at Rogers Centre on Sunday in Toronto’s 3-1 victory that avoided a three-game Yankees sweep. Hutchison is 12-2 in 24 starts this season, but has been inconsistent, especially on the road, and has a 5.06 earned-run average. The move comes as Toronto looks to shorten its starting rotation in preparation for a run at the American League East title. Sunday’s win left the Jays a half-game back of the Yankees for the division lead.
months away from the playoffs and you see how crazy they are now.’’ There’s reason for that, Couture figures, because this season feels different than ones in the recent past in which the Blue Jays have flirted with contention only to fall apart. The 26-year-old from
Toronto also recalled infielder Matt Hague from Buffalo to replace recently demoted reliever Aaron Loup. Hague leads the International League with DREW HUTCHISON a .348 batting average, 83 runs batted in, a .427 on-base percentage and 161 hits. The Jays said a roster move to fill Hutchison’s spot on the roster will be made today. Idle yesterday, Toronto opens a two-game set in Philadelphia tonight before heading to Anaheim.
Guelph, Ont., sees a rotation led by Price and a lineup including Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista and Encarnacion and has a feeling this could be the year. “Even though it’s not a sure thing that they’re going to make the playoffs, it definitely feels that they have
the team to do it, where in the past there was so many question marks and injuries and stuff like that,’’ Couture said. “This is a year where it just feels like it’s certain that they’re going to be in the playoffs and give themselves a chance to go all the way.’’

August (Gus) Schrauwen August (Gus) Schrauwen of Kamloops, BC, passed away peacefully in Royal Inland Hospital on Wednesday, August 12, 2015 at 87 years of age. Born September 8, 1927, Gus was the last member of the original Schrauwen family that homesteaded on Dairy Road, Westsyde, BC in 1926, producing potatoes, apples and grains. The family purchased the Manson Ranch near Jamieson Creek in 1943, clearing the land and building their home and farm with a family operated sawmill. Operating as Dutch Dairy Farms, the family started a milk operation on the Manson Ranch in 1950 and a piece of BC history began. Gus’s family expanded to a dairy bar and distribution centre on Tranquille Road in 1953. So many stories he told about delivering milk bottles to the Kamloops city residents, bulk to local restaurants, stores in Cache Creek, Clinton and Williams Lake. Expanding further in 1961, three of his siblings (Adrian, Nick, Marie) moved to Armstrong and began production of milk, butter, ice cream, cottage cheese and Armstrong Cheese (still on the shelves today). Later Marie and family moved back to Kamloops and owned and operated Gerry`s Emporium in Westsyde, while Nick and family headed to White Rock to own and operate Campbell River Store. Adrian and family stayed on in Armstrong and Vernon to pursue further ventures in the north Okanagan. When his oldest brother Peter and family moved to Bashaw, AB in 1966 to further expand the Armstrong Cheese and Dutch Dairy brands, Gus, his family and his parents remained in Kamloops managing dairy distribution. The home ranch in Westsyde, a beef operation, was his work in progress; he loved the animals and the outdoors. He took his pilot’s license and had a love of flying. Gus took sole ownership of the home ranch in 1972, retiring in 1993. During his career, he purchased the neighbouring Jackson Ranch, installed a state-of-the-art 1470 foot pivot irrigation system and maintained a 350 cow/calf operation with range permit on Jamieson Creek. In 1980, he started a successful feed lot, feeding up to 5000 head annually, utilizing the feed from the 2 ranches. Cattle were brought in from BC, AB, and from as far away as Hawaii. Predeceased by his parents, Constance (Stan) and Dimphna (Dina), brothers Peter, Adrian and Nick, and his only sister Marie. Gus is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Gillian (Jill), children Carol (David), Janet (Jim), Ann (Bob), Ted (Jennifer) and their families, eight grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and their families. Gus had a fun, teasing sense of humour, which made his blue eyes sparkle. His strong commitment to family will be remembered fondly, and he will be missed greatly. A Service honouring Gus’s life will be held at St. John Vianney Parish, 2826 Bank Road, Kamloops, on Wednesday, August 19 at 11:00 am. Reception to follow. Donations may be made to the SPCA, 1211 8th Street, Kamloops, BC V2B 2Y3. Flowers gratefully declined. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.
Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.
Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.
Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.
Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.
Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.
Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.
Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

Under fire over Duffy, PM clings to campaign mesage THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Questioned relentlessly at every campaign stop about the fallout from the Mike Duffy trial, Stephen Harper refused yesterday to be knocked off his double-barrelled core campaign message: economy and security. The Conservative leader stressed the latter at a stop in Fredericton, where he promised to add 6,000 people to bolster the reserve ranks of the Canadian Forces reserves. Harper said the measure will cost $163 million over three years and $63.4 million going forward once the overall target of 30,000 personnel is reached. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, however, kept the Duffy affair on the front burner, saying Harper misled Canadians about the repayment of the disgraced senator’s questioned expenses.
“What Canadians do take away is that their prime minister has not been forthcoming with them because he’s been saying one thing and its opposite and expecting people to believe both can be true strains credibility,’’ Mulcair said at a stop in Niagara Falls. But, the prime minister stuck to his script: The two people to blame are Duffy and Nigel Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff, the star witness at Duffy’s trial and the man who personally paid the embattled senator’s questioned expenses. Harper — ignoring evidence that indicates a number of PMO staffers were aware of the arrangement — said Duffy and Wright were the two principal players and are the ones being held accountable. “I do think that what’s important for Canadians looking forward is going to
be the two issues of this campaign; the economy of our country and our future prospects in the security of our country,’’ Harper said. “Those are the two issues and this Conservative party is the only government that has answers.’’ Mulcair used tourist-friendly Niagara Falls to roll out a promise of $30 mil-
lion over three years to help Destination Canada attract more American visitors. He said the Conservatives have cut the Crown corporation’s budget even as tourist numbers have fallen In Ajax, Ont., Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau promised a tax break for the middle class, saying those earning between
$44,700 and $89,401 a year will see their tax rate fall to 20.5 per cent. “We will raise taxes on the wealthiest one per cent of Canadians,’’ Trudeau said. The Conservatives have neglected the middle class, but that would end under a Liberal government, Trudeau told a crowd in Ajax, one of the
vote-rich communities on the Toronto outskirts. A Liberal government would also retool Canada’s childbenefit system to provide more to those families that most need the help, he added. Trudeau said his tax-free child benefit will be fairer than the universal benefit touted by Harper.

The B.C. Wildfire Service had to ground eight helicopters and three fixed-wing aircraft for three hours on Sunday while battling fires around Oliver, due to an unauthorized drone flying in the area.

probably be too mild a term to talk about their reaction. “It’s really something that is just not acceptable.” Despite the interruption, the B.C. Wildfire Service estimated the Testalinden Creek fire south of Oliver to be 40 per cent contained and
the Wilson’s Mountain Road fire just north of Oliver was 70 per cent contained as of yesterday. Reports of a video showing a smoker igniting the volatile fire west of Rock Creek have not been confirmed, Thomson said. He asked for anyone with video or other
evidence of careless smoking or hazardous activity to contact their local police department or the B.C. Wildfire Service (1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on mobile). The Rock Creek fire remained unconfined at about 3,750 hectares yesterday and has destroyed 30 homes. Chief fire infor-
mation officer Kevin Skrepnek said the fire has not spread significantly since it was reported last week. However, with hot days ahead, Skrepnek said that could change. There were 44 new fires reported Sunday, making a total of 239 burning by Monday. There have been 292,000 hectares burned and $207 million spent so far this year, almost the same as this time last summer.

Sexual-misconduct blitz aimed at military OTTAWA — That everything old is new again may be the best way to describe the coming battle over sexual misconduct in the Canadian military. The country’s defence chief has formally signed orders intended to stamp out impropriety and harassment, but to understand the kind of uphill struggle facing Gen. Jonathan Vance, just look back to 1999. “To attract and retain this highly skilled pool of personnel, they must know that they will be treated fairly, and with dignity and respect throughout their careers,’’ wrote nowretired general Maurice Baril, who, much like Vance today, was laying out his expectations for gender equality as women were introduced to combat jobs.

a right to a harassmentfree workplace and fair and equitable employment practices. Fifteen years ago, Baril asked soldiers to respect one another. Vance is now demanding it and threatening consequences. In the spring, a blistering report by retired Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps found sexual misconduct was “endemic’’ in the military, where leaders tolerated a pervasive macho culture and women were afraid to report harassment and even assaults. Vance’s order not only prohibits obvious offences, but goes beyond to target behaviours that “perpetuate stereotypes and modes of thinking that devalue members on the basis of their sex, sexuality or sexual orientation.’’
Inappropriate jokes of a sexual nature, racy photos and unwelcome advances are among specifically prohibited acts. During his swearingin last month, the new defence chief made a point of saying that bullies are not welcome within the ranks and are often the least effective members in combat. Yet, the attitudes that have sustained harassment are deeply entrenched and were identified a decade and half ago as major obstacles to the integration of women into combat posts. “Women must cope simultaneously with symbols and behaviours which perpetuate and maintain male ideology while developing identities as women which satisfies the organizational culture,’’ said a Dec. 20, 1999 employ-
ment equity plan. “The male identity of the organization is strongly evident through sexualized behaviours and norms, such as male attitudes of paternalism, sexist male talk, joking and innuendo and sexual harassment, in the day-to-day work environment.’’ The new order by Vance tells commanding officers to act quickly when they hear of a complaint and warns that all leaders are accountable for failures that let the current culture continue. The blunt instructions not only lay out expectations in terms of behaviour, but set timelines for action, including a rare meeting planned this week involving senior leadership from across the country where Vance is expected to lay down the law.
Queen Mary 2 loses crew member HALIFAX — Police have opened an investigation into the death of a Chilean crew member on the ocean liner Queen Mary 2 who was reported missing early Saturday. Investigators with Halifax police say in a news release they believe the 26-year-old male crew member may have gone overboard early Saturday morning while the ship was off the
coast of Newfoundland. The Halifax police force is the agency of jurisdiction because Halifax was the cruise ship’s next scheduled port of call. Investigators boarded the Queen Mary 2 in Halifax yesterday to gather evidence and speak to people who may have had contact with the crew member prior to his disappearance. A spokeswoman for the
Cunard Line said the investigation was only expected to delay departure by one hour and that the ship would leave Halifax at about 6:30 p.m. local time to continue its trip to New York City. Christened in 2004, the ship is 345 metres long, has 19 decks and carries 2,620 passengers. — The Canadian Press
Patent granted for space elevator PEMBROKE, Ont. — A Canadian company has been granted a U.S. patent for a 20-kilometre-high space elevator. Thoth Technology of Pembroke, Ont., said the freestanding structure would allow astronauts to launch from a platform high above the Earth. The company said
the new technology would save more than 30 per cent of the fuel of a conventional rocket. The inventor, engineer and physicist Dr. Brendan Quine, said the elevator would be pneumatically pressurized and guided over its base to allow such a tall and slender structure to

stand freely. The company said the space elevator could also be used for wind-energy generation, communications and tourism.
Quine said the project will cost between US$5 billion and US$10 billion and could take three to five years to complete. — The Canadian Press

The onus will also be on members who believe they’ve been victimized to step forward, something that’s expected to lead to a surge in complaints and possibly military police investigations. “Eliminating harmful and inappropriate sexual behaviour within the CAF depends on its members demonstrating the integrity to act in a manner that bears
the closest scrutiny and the courage to overcome difficult challenges through determination and strength of character,’’ said the order. “There shall be no grace period for the application of our values and ethics. Proper conduct starts now.’’ Yet, it is not the first time the military has been here. In the late 1990s senior leadership strug-
gled to understand why women, who had fought to become frontline soldiers, tank drivers, fighter pilots and submariners, were ditching their uniforms in unacceptably high numbers. The report concluded that career management, social and family issues drove the departures, but the notion of a sexualized culture was never far from the surface.

he models will be blindfolded with tape across their mouths to silence them. To be fair, the blindfolds are of material through which men and women in the show can see — but simply by wearing them, these men and women will be making more than a fashion statement. They’ll be representing missing and murdered aboriginal women. “We don’t know where many of them are, so we can’t see them,” said fashionshow organizer Kim Coltman.

Coltman’s grandmother was a medicine woman and often called her granddaughter Mina. “I thought it meant little shy fawn because she always called me that,” Coltman said, but she learned later in the Cree language it meant again. Noting that and the fact her grandmother died on the same day, at the same time, as Coltman’s birth — albeit when her granddaughter was celebrating her 16th birthday — she feels it’s her duty to continue speaking out for her communities of aboriginal people and, in particular, First Nations women.

“And they cannot speak to us.” Coltman, marketing and promotions manager at Headhunters on Seymour Street, said her own family’s history inspired her to put the Sept. 16 show together. Her mother, a member of the Cree nation, was sent to a residential school as a child. She told Coltman about some of the experiences she had there, ranging from being taught to use her right hand — she was a natural leftie — to not wanting to speak her native language. “When my mother spoke Cree to us, we knew she was upset,” Coltman said. “We knew it was because of being in residential school.”

DENTAL LASERS
THEY REALLY ARE BETTER! My responsibility as a periodontist and health care Dr. Preety Desai provider is to deliver the best possible care, surgical techniques and innovations to help benefit people and improve their health in the least invasive manner. When I graduated, lasers and their applicability to dental care were never taught in dental or graduate school. The use of lasers has not changed much in North America, while the rest of the world has progressed. Keeping up with the science and research internationally is our responsibility as practitioners and thus next year I will complete my MSc in Laser Dentistry from RWTH University in Germany - the birthplace of modern physics and laser technology; and thus I will be the only periodontist to have done this! Dental implants also started in Europe the same way before becoming mainstream in North America ~ now look at it today: billboards and ads everywhere! Dental laser technology has come leaps and bounds in the last 15 years and the scientific research, which is mainly European and Japanese, unequivocally demonstrates that lasers reduce the trauma of dental work, the invasiveness of treatment and promote faster recovery with less pain. All of my surgery now incorporates at least one of four different laser wavelengths types in my office. I have lectured and trained periodontists and dentists internationally on the benefits of dental lasers. But patients ask “how does it actually work”? Surgical dental lasers focus a specific infrared (invisible) beam of light — to energize streams of water. In this delivery mode, the jet stream of water ablates tissue more precisely compared to traditional steel dental tools like a scalpel, a scaler, a drill, scissors and as a result, causes less injury and trauma to the tissues in the mouth and less damage to the surrounding teeth and gums as they work. Different lasers do different jobs. Some are designed for deep tissue healing like the chiropractor or physiotherapist use on high performance athletes (low level laser therapy), while another lasers can cauterize blood because like laser hair removal, they are attracted to pigmented body parts (hair, blood) and others mid infrared lasers (water lasers) can tackle tissue cutting (like tooth structure, gums, bone and implants). Many dental procedures — from filling cavities, doing root canals, children’s fillings are often without freezing and extracting teeth, sinus lifts, bone grafting to placing dental implants — can all be done with lasers. A periodontal or dental procedure performed with lasers might take a bit longer occasionally but will take less recovery than with other means. The water laser has the ability to complete many of these requirements and is really the “TRUE dental laser”. The healing is so much better, and the results are far superior!

There are other reasons she wants to do this. “I knew a lot of these girls who went missing. I knew some of the girls found at the Pickton farm,” she said, referring to the Port Coquitlam farm where Robert Pickton killed dozens of women, many of them from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Add in a desire at Headhunters to bring groups together for common good and her own background in the modelling industry — and she had a plan to combine the social issue with the world of couture, an industry she began working in at the age of 12 and left when she was 30. “I was in Paris by the time I was 16,” Coltman said, adding she’s walked runways in New York, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver as well. She remembered with a laugh posting for a swimwear shoot on a ski hill in Vermont one year, surrounded by snow. “It was freezing.” Coltman has also worked in the film industry but said Kamloops became her home for good when she returned to be closer to dad, who was dealing with cancer. Coltman said she

he regular religious column published in Kamloops This Week is entitled You Gotta Have Faith — and it’s quite true. In order to accept most of what is said by religious leaders, you have to throw reason and logic out the window. You are constantly being told what to do, how to think and how to act, according to various interpretations of various books written a couple of thousand years ago by folks who had no idea why the sun came up every day. The definition of faith is to believe or accept something without evidence. You gotta have faith because there is no evidence whatsoever any of the deities you are told to worship exist or ever did. You are told not to worry about this life because the next will be much better — “Trust us, have faith.” Is there even a shred of evidence you will survive your death?

Rational
THOUGHTS No. So, absolutely, you gotta have faith. Is this strange concept a virtue? Or is it a tactic used in the past to satisfy and control the vast uneducated credulous population? Should these various religions be respected or should they be reviled for the massive con job they have perpetrated, not to mention the incredible violence and bloodshed that continues to this day? Almost every day in the news we hear of another act of barbarism carried out by one religion or another, usually aimed at their own believers or others who have a different view of the world. For instance, in many countries atheism is punishable by prison sentences or even death. Some states in the U.S. don’t allow nonbelievers to run for office in spite of a constitution that prohibits such discrimination. Pointing any of this out, especially the scientific fact of evolution, will almost certainly get a vile reaction from the faithful, who will then trot out the usual but entirely false comparisons with Hitler, Stalin, etc. So, it’s not surprising many churches are finding it difficult to attract new congregants.
church, this Sunday, sleep in. Go out into your yard and smell the flowers.

— BILL LIGERTWOOD
Believing something without evidence is becoming passé and we should all be happy that is the case. We now know pretty much where we came from and where we’re going and that’s fine with me and others. You don’t “gotta have faith.” In fact, you should be wary of anyone who tells you otherwise. You came from star stuff and you will return to star stuff and, in the meantime, all any of us can do is try to live a good life, maybe leave the planet a little better than we found it and revel in spending what little time we have with friends and family. We can also feel comforted in the knowledge we are lucky to be here, knowing the ride is short
and to be savoured and enjoyed as often as possible. And, we can do all that and more without gods and religions and without being told who to worship and why. It’s really so simple. So, if you are someone who normally visits a church, this Sunday, sleep in. Go out into your yard and smell the flowers. Enjoy life and all it has to offer and, if you need to worship something, try worshipping life. Bill Ligertwood contributes a column to Kamloops this Week. Email him at bligertwood@gmail. com.

BACK TO SCHOOL
Back to school a time to organize For many Canadian families, back-to-school season is the time to organize thoughts and lives. Clarity and preparation starts at home as a clean and organized home sets the tone for everything we do. One common item many families will come across when fall cleaning their home is old cellphones. While used cellphones are extremely common and are gathering dust in drawers across Canada, many of us do not know how to properly dispose of them. Recycle My Cell is Canada’s free cellphone recycling program. The program accepts many different items for recycling, including smartphones, pagers, cellphone batteries and accessories. After your device is received, it is sent to a processor, where it can be refurbished or broken down. All items recovered are recycled or refurbished in accordance with
PRE-SCHOOL R.A.D BALLET JAZZ LYRICAL CONTEMPORARY ADULT BALLET MUSICAL THEATRE ACROBATIC ARTS BALLET BARRE
Canadian e-waste laws. Canadians can go online to recyclemycell.ca and enter their postal code to locate the drop-off locations closest to them where
their old wireless devices will be accepted, regardless of brand or condition. If you can’t get to one of the drop-off locations in your neighborhood, the
website offers a printable postage-paid label that can be used to mail the device back to Recycle My Cell at no cost. — newscanada.com

Keeping your children’s play area both safe and fun can be a difficult balance to reach. Here are a few hints to achieve the perfect kidfriendly play space: 1. Once your little one starts to stand, he or she will likely try just about every piece of furniture for support, so ensure each piece is sturdy and stable and won’t tip over onto your child. You may want to attach the furniture to the wall. 2. Make sure there is enough storage space. Toys on the floor can be a hazard, so encourage your kids to clean up. Organize with ease using plenty of low, open storage bins, baskets and shelves so there’s little need to reach or climb. Just remember, the furniture should have smooth surfaces and rounded corners. If you use a toy chest, reinforce the hinges so the lid will stay open in any position and won’t slam shut on a little hand. Make sure the hinges

are a good option. 4. Stop shock risk. Use outlet plates and covers to keep plug sockets safe from probing fingers. Be sure the covers can’t be easily removed and are too large to become choking hazards if they are pried off by toddlers. When replacing receptacles, get the tamper-resistant kind.

can’t pinch children, either. In addition, remove any locks and drill a few air holes just in case a child does get trapped inside. 3. When you get down to it, children love to play on the floor, so make sure it’s easy to keep clean and soft enough when kids fall down. Non-slip rugs on top of resilient or wood flooring
5. Childproof the windows. Use window stops that will let the window open no more than four inches and install window guards so children can’t fall out. Just be sure adults and older children can open them easily in case of fire. Never depend on screens to keep children safe. Open windows from the top whenever possible and don’t put furniture that kids can climb on near windows. 6. Replace older window coverings with today’s safer products to avoid the potential dangers posed to young children by window treatments with cords. . Window treatment companies offers a wide variety of product operating systems that eliminate lift cords or substantially reduce access to them, including a new PowerView Motorization system.

BACK TO SCHOOL
Visions of success at school The classroom is a place for children to learn and grow, but for those with a vision problem, it can be a real challenge. According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, one in four school-aged children has a vision problem. “Children are very adaptable and don’t necessarily have the experience or knowledge to decipher between normal vision and abnormal”, said Amber Fournier, a licensed optician at the Sudbury Real Canadian Superstore. “Back-to-school is the perfect time for eye exams to be top of mind for parents. Having the ability to read the chalkboard and their textbooks clearly can greatly impact a child’s
success in the classroom.” Many pharmacies offer eye exams by licensed opticians. While experts recommend schoolaged children receive an eye exam once a year, parents and guardians
should be on the lookout for indicators of possible vision problems between visits. Fournier suggests watching for the following behaviours as a possible sign of a vision problem, and the need to see a vision care expert:
• Excessive squinting • Lack of interest in reading things near or far • Difficulty concentrating • A constant tilting of the head • Frequent eye rubbing • Constantly
knocking over toys • Bumping into things Additional information is available at loblawstores.ca including an optical location in your neighbourhoods. — newscanada.com

Auto industry up in the United States THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — Auto plants, clothing makers and plastics factories drove a sharp rebound in U.S. manufacturing in July. U.S. factory production climbed a seasonally adjusted 0.8 per cent last month after a revised estimate showed that output had dipped 0.3 per cent in June, the Federal Reserve recently said. The gains suggested that manufacturers are adjusting to the obstacles of a stronger dollar, tepid economic growth abroad and lower oil prices, which have led energy companies to slash their orders for equipment and pipelines. “Industrial production is turning around after weakness in early 2015,’’ said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services. Much of the improvement came from motor vehicle output, which surged 10.6 per cent in July. Auto sales jumped 5 per cent to 1.5 million, with luxury brands such as Acura, Audi, Infiniti, Lincoln and Volvo accounting for double-digit gains. Output at clothing and leather factories rose one per cent last month, as did the manufacturing of plastics and rubber products. Some of those gains were offset by reduced output by oil and coal refiners, as well as by a drop in productivity at machinery plants. Some analysts suggested
that the gains in auto production weren’t as impressive as the numbers might indicate. Jesse Hurwitz at Barclays Research noted that auto plants generally close temporarily in July to retool for new model lines and that the shutdown this year was shorter than normal. This would mean that the Fed report exaggerated the gains in motor vehicle output last month and that auto production might dip in August. The Federal Reserve said overall industrial production — which includes not only the key category of manufacturing but also mining and utility output — rose 0.6 per cent. Mining, which includes oil and gas wells, rose 0.2 per cent last month but remains down two per cent over the past year. Utility output, which often fluctuates sharply from month to month depending on weather, fell one per cent. Factories have been battered for much of 2015. Winter storms slowed and even stopped some assembly lines in January and February. The slowdown extended into spring. Orders for equipment and machinery were hurt by the rising value of the dollar, which makes U.S. goods more expensive overseas and depressed exports. Lower oil prices, which slowed orders from energy firms, also reduced output.
U.S. factory production was up .8 per cent in July, suggesting manufacturers are adjusting to a stronger dollar and lower oil prices.
The dollar has risen about 20 per cent against a basket of foreign currencies in the past year, according to the Fed. Crude oil prices, which were around $60 per barrel in the spring, fell close to $41 in early trading last week, levels not seen since the global financial crisis. The decline has forced
energy firms to curtail drilling, eliminating much of the need for new pipelines and equipment that had boosted factory orders in years when prices were closer to $100 a barrel. Over the past 12 months, manufacturing output has risen just 1.5 per cent. Still, the steady con-

sumer demand for autos is a positive sign for a manufacturing sector facing many headwinds. Other indicators show evidence of increased consumer demand that could help support broader economic growth. Factory orders rose 1.8 per cent in June, the government reported earlier
this month. Much of the gains came from surging demand for commercial aircraft, a volatile sector that can vary widely from month to month. A key category that serves as a proxy for business investment plans edged up 0.7 per cent after declines in April and May.

A CHAMP WARNS ABOUT THOSE MEAN MACHINES: The War Amps float passed on the vital play safe/drive safe message at the recent Peach Festival Parade in Penticton. This year’s theme, Mean Machines, was depicted on the colourful animated float, which had a special focus on lawn mowers and warned kids about the dangers around them. Brighton Dalton, 8, of Kamloops, joined the float as a safety ambassador. As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, Brighton is well qualified to pass on the play safe message as he has met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. Brighton now works at spreading the message of playing safely to as many children as possible.
