ALL SHE COULD SEE WAS THE FIRE ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
E
dna Olsen can’t shake the memory of her friend on fire. “I just flew in the door and then she’s standing there. The poor woman, her dress had burned off her, her hair was on fire, she had ashes falling off her,” Olsen said. “I said, ‘Oh my god, Tillie, you’re on fire.’ She said, ‘I am?’” By that time, Matilda (Tillie) Olineck was already in the early stages of shock, her room in Glenfair Seniors Complex erupting in flames around her. Olsen’s quick thinking saved the building and, very nearly, Olineck, but the experience has left its mark. “I just have to cope,” Olsen said. “That was horrible that night, walking in and seeing that.” Olsen was on her computer on Aug. 24, a few doors down from Olineck, when the smoke alarm in her suite sounded. The 65-year-old said it’s a common occurrence in Glenfair — nearly every resident has a stick used to silence the alarms triggered by everything from baking to boiling water. But, when Olsen stepped outside, alarms blared from every suite in the building. Her neighbours were milling about. Olsen could smell smoke. It was at about the same time another Glenfair resident yelled that it was coming from Olineck’s suite. Olsen went through the door and was met by her friend and the flames.
She thought of basic first-aid — running a burn under cold water — and called for neighbours to bring her the garden hose that hung on the wall just outside the corner suite. She doused the fire on Olineck, wrapping her in a cotton sheet and getting her out of the room, before returning to turn the water on the fourfoot-high flames that had engulfed the recliner, end table and carpet. The smoke in the room was so thick that Olsen couldn’t see to the other end. She put the fire out, despite the danger to herself, a thought she said never crossed her mind. “My thought was Tillie — get her out of there and then put the fire out,” Olsen told KTW. “I didn’t even think about the building burning. It was not something I thought of until after.” Olsen said the experience has been anything but easy. She has flashbacks of the incident and nightmares haunt her sleep. She was unable to look at Olineck’s obituary in KTW and turned away from pictures at the reception. All she could see was the fire. BC Housing and the Interior Health Authority have provided Olsen with counselling to help her work through the traumatic incident. In the days following the blaze, Kamloops Fire and Rescue told KTW that, without the actions of Olsen and her neighbours, the downtown building could very well have been lost. Olsen, however, shuns the hero moniker. “I got upset the day after and that

night, though, because everybody is like ‘You’re a hero. You saved the building. You’re a hero,’” Olsen said. “I’m not a hero, I just did what I had to do and I would do it in a heartbeat for anybody, even if it happened again. I wouldn’t want to, but I would be there in a heartbeat with the hose.” Olsen has a hard time believing her friend fell asleep with a lit cigarette, thinking instead it may have been an unfortunate accident. And, despite what has been said since Olineck’s death, Olsen said home care and BC Housing were very good to her neighbour. A mother of three, grandmother of six and great-grandmother of five, Olsen knew Olineck for about five years before the flames took her life. Olsen visited her friend four, five, sometimes six times a day. She described Olineck as a gentle woman with the nicest smile, a woman with boundless talent as a seamstress and an artist and one who loved Christmas. Life will be very different without her. “She was a pretty awesome lady,” Olsen said. “Everybody around here liked Tillie. “I miss her already. “In fact, there’s lots of times I catch myself because I was going to go down and check on her, you know? “I still do that — I still think I should go check on her. “It’s sad that she’s gone, but you know, at least now she’s not suffering. “She wouldn’t have been able to handle those burns, not at her age.”

Kamloops Mounties are searching for two men they say robbed a pizza-delivery driver of his vehicle at gunpoint. Const. Jason Epp said the Papa John’s driver was finishing his shift early yesterday morning at 12:15 a.m. As he was getting in his small car — a blue 2006 Chevy Aveo — in the parking lot at Cityview Shopping Centre in Aberdeen, two men approached him. Police say one of the men flashed a handgun and ordered the driver out. The two men took the vehicle from the shopping centre and were last seen driving west on Rogers Way. Epp said the driver was not injured in the robbery. The suspects are between 19 and 22 years of age and were wearing dark clothing. The blue subcompact car has a large Murray GM sticker in the rear window and B.C. licence plate 965 NXF. Anybody with information on the crime is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Weekly Traffic Update Overlanders Bridge All southbound passenger vehicles traveling downtown continue to be detoured through a temporary bypass off the south west ramp. Over the next few weeks motorists can expect single lane, alternating traffic on the bridge, most evenings starting at 9 pm. This is to allow crews to complete milling and paving, as well as installation of deck joints when traffic volumes are lower. Thank you for your patience. The sidewalk on the Fortune Drive overpass has been re-opened. The asphalt ramp connecting Fortune Drive to Tranquille Road remains closed at this time. Columbia Street Crews continue work on the north side of Columbia Street between 3rd and 6th avenues. The north sidewalk between 4th and 6th avenues remains closed to all pedestrian traffic. The south sidewalk is now open. The #9 Gleneagles and the #7 Aberdeen buses traveling from downtown to Aberdeen continue to temporarily re-route away from Columbia Street to avoid some of the congestion.

Rail company largely at fault in fall CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled the Rocky Mountaineer is largely responsible for injuries suffered by an American tourist in a fall onboard the passenger train four years ago. However, Justice Nathan Smith also found the tourist, 66-year-old Karen Varma of Indiana, 35 per cent responsible for her fall that resulted in a broken kneecap, causing her enduring pain and mobility limitations. The incident happened aboard Rocky Mountaineer’s premier Gold Leaf service on a twoday train trip from Vancouver to Jasper, with an overnight stay in Kamloops. Varma claimed the train made an unusual slowing motion as she was returning to her seat from an open vestibule in a section without a hand railing. She was thrown forward and fell on the metal floor. Varma ended her trip in Kamloops, where she
sought medical help. Varma sued Rocky Mountaineer Vacations Ltd. for negligence. Smith ruled the train should have provided a warning or provided a handrail for the small section. “I am satisfied that a warning not to use the vestibule when it was too crowded or a reminder that it would not always be possible to reach the handrail would more likely than not have reminded the plaintiff of the danger and caused her not to enter the vestibule at that point,” Smith wrote in his judgment, noting that failure to provide a warning is a breach of the company’s “standard of care.” Smith also ruled Varma bears some responsibility for her fall. “On her own evidence, she knew the step was there and knew, having entered the vestibule, that she had to cross an area with no handrails,” Smith wrote. “She was also familiar with the unpredictable nature of train movements.” A hearing to determine the amount of damages is set for Nov. 2.
Credit unions offer grants The B.C. government’s $1,200 education and training grants are now available from credit unions around the province.

ADOPTION IN BC Adopting a child can be one of the biggest decisions in life. The Adoption Act governs how adoptions happen in British Columbia. There are several types of adoption possible in British Columbia, including through the Ministry of Children and Family Development, international (or inter-country adoptions), adoption by relatives or step-parents (including adult adoptions), direct placement adoption agencies in which parents choose someone they know as the adoptive parents of their child,
Do you know the names of these people? Kamloops Mounties have released images taken from video of three people associated with an assault in January. Const. Jason Epp said police were called on Jan. 10 to a report of a man lying on the ground in the 500-block of Victoria Street. They determined he had been assaulted by another man. Photos taken from a video obtained by police show a man running from the suspected assault. The video also shows two women believed to be associated to the suspect. Epp said police are looking for tips to identify the three. Anybody with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Expect delays as school starts ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
There won’t be any new road construction surprises for the first day of school on Tuesday, but the City of Kamloops is reminding drivers to expect delays if they need to cross Overlanders Bridge or venture down Columbia Street to drop off the kiddies. “Basically, they should just plan ahead, give themselves lots of time and do expect delays,” said transportation co-ordinator Colleen Lepik. Of the two major road projects, only Overlanders will change substantially in the first week back to school, Lepik said. Near the end of next week — most likely Wednesday night — contractor Innovative Civil Constructors will reopen the western lanes of the bridge to traffic and begin rehabilitation work on the east side of the span. A temporary bypass connecting the bridge to downtown will remain in place as work continues on the access ramp to West Victoria Street. Lepik said it will be in use until the end of the project. She said the project is still on track to be “substantially complete” by Oct. 31, with four lanes of traffic open to the public, though some landscaping and cleanup will still be taking place. In order to meet that goal, however, the city has agreed to allow its contractor to take the bridge down to one lane of traffic from 9 p.m. to about 6 a.m. nightly for the next few weeks. Single-lane alternating traffic began this week, which Lepik said will make sure milling and paving work is done on time. “We’re trying to do it when traffic volumes are low, so that’s why we’re starting at 9 p.m.,” she said. Lepik said Columbia Street’s current lane configuration won’t change much at all until the project wraps up at the end of the month. “Pretty much where we are now, that’s how it will be to the end,” she said. The city is widening the road and adding left-turn bays at all intersections between Third and Sixth avenues. It is also adding new signals, wider sidewalks and raised concrete medians to divide traffic, while eventually closing the left-turn lane to Second Avenue. Lepik said the work is 80 per cent complete, on schedule and on budget.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:
HOT: The construction sector in Kamloops — yet again. Through August, city hall had issued $136.9 million in building permits, which is about $1 million more than was issued through the first eight months of last year. More than 25 per cent of the year-to-date total in building permits — $35 million — was issued last month, making August hot literally and figuratively. NOT: Gregory Murray, the 49-year-old from Port Coquitlam who has been charged with fraud after being caught last year employing an inventive technique to avoid the tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge. Murray has rigged his 1993 Geo with a cable system. He would pull on a wire as he crossed the Fraser River, an action that would lift his licence plate out of the view of toll cameras. Murray was caught when a Mountie driving behind him noticed the licence plate fall into place.
OUR
VIEW
HOT: Who else but Canada’s team — the Toronto Blue Jays? The Major League Baseball club is on a legendary roll and is a lock to make the playoffs, if not win its first World Series since 1993. The Jays are hitting the ball so hard and scoring so many runs that record books may soon fall. Their stadium is selling out, TV ratings are rising and Blue Jays’ merchandise is flying off the shelves. Check out a game if you haven’t already. You will soon know Bautista, Price, Donaldson, Encarnaciónn and Martin as household names.

A good leader energizes
T
he thing about rallies such as that held by the NDP on Tuesday is that even the most skeptical political animal can get sucked into the energetic hurricane that inevitably roars into every psyche in attendance. I have seen it happen at virtually every campaign rally I have attended. While the leader who makes a stop in a riding is generally preaching to the converted, the passion the event sparks has the believers ready to flood the city with signs and empty their wallets in the name of all that is written in the myriad campaign promises made that will likely not come to fruition. It really isn’t that much different from a morning spent in rapt attention in a raucous, musicfilled church presided over by a preacher with a velvet tongue and a poet’s mind — you enter hesitantly and slowly become enveloped in the message. So it was for a young woman named Tabitha. Entering the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre on Tuesday night, she stopped to finish her cigarette, noting this was the first time she had ever attended a political event. Why now? Well, she’s 20, has never voted and began following the campaign this month. She has read up on the political scene locally and found herself gravitating toward the NDP even before leader Thomas Mulcair’s visit was announced.
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS After the event — at which she had to listen to the speech through speakers placed in the lobby — Tabitha was impressed. But, she added, she is still parking her vote until she learns more, preferably from leaders of the other political parties. It’s a simple equation: When leaders visit smaller cities and deliver a good speech, they create tremors of support. Mulcair did that in Kamloops this week and you can be sure he gave local candidate Bill Sundhu and his team a major jolt. The same would occur if Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau or Prime Minister Stephen Harper added Kamloops to the campaign schedule. Obviously, all candidates in all ridings would love nothing more than to have their party’s leader step foot in the riding and inject the campaign with the publicity that follows. Whether Trudeau or Harper make it to Kamloops remains to be seen — and will perhaps be a decision arrived at later in the
campaign, when polling numbers reveal whether the race is tight enough to warrant such a visit that can tip the balance. *** The campaign took a decidedly serious turn this week — and it can all be traced back to a tragic photo that has been placed prominently on front pages of newspapers across the world. The photo is that of three-yearold Aylan Kurdi. Rather, the photo is of the body of the little boy as it washed ashore in Turkey. He died with his five-year-old brother, Galip, and his mother, Rehan, as the family tried to flee the carnage in their home country. Like too many refugees of too many nationalities, the journey ended in death. The photo of Aylan is heartbreaking. He is lying face down in the sand, the water lapping at his hair, his red shirt and little blue shorts and tiny black shoes fitting perfectly. It is an iconic image that will sum up a particular current event, just as photos of the starving African child next to a vulture and the Vietnamese girl running from a napalm attack served as images for those stories. There is a Canadian connection to little Aylan’s death and already the politicians are playing the blame game, no doubt doing so with an eye to gaining votes. Let them play politics. We should pause and spare a thought for Aylen and all the victims of our collective stupidity. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WE NEED TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT DRIVERS Editor: I just don’t understand it. There are so many accidents and so much data available on how unsafe elderly drivers are behind the wheel. I see it all the time as I ride my bike or walk downtown to and from the YMCA/ YWCA. I see the very elderly with walkers and canes, who can hardly get in and out of the car, much less see or even be able to park properly. In China, they pull your licence at age 75.
I’m not sure what other countries have as policies regarding age limitations, but I think it’s time to take a hard look at reality. Why? Because the baby boomers are coming in droves. We haven’t seen anything yet. It will be worse than drunk driving, texting or driver fatigue put together. Why don’t we do things that just make sense? Why does someone have to die or be hurt before we change? Take tour bus crashes. There have been three recently.
How long will it take for changes to come? Seatbelts save lives, but not when it comes to motor coaches. There are no seatbelts. As for driver hours, how many is too many before the driver is impaired? Anyway, it is what it is. Even I will admit that, at the age of 59, my driving skills are not what they used to be. We all age and a lot of people take a ton of medications as they age, all building up in their systems. Brian Husband Kamloops
TO BUILD OR NOT TO BUILD — THAT IS THE QUESTION Editor: A society’s culture is learnt through the stories it tells. How do we go about this without a proper platform? A stage is not much to ask to know our world. The cost of not building a theatre? That is the question. Thomas Jones Kamloops
CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM Editor: In these days, when so many feel entitled to this or that service or complain about this activity or that outcome, we want to share some good news. My wife recently had a brush with a stroke and, fortunately, is recovering. From the moment we called 911 to her discharge from Royal Inland Hospital 5 North, Margaret received nothing but efficient, effective, efficacious and professional care. We wish to particularly single out: paramedics Kerr and Berthelot; doctors Vukusic,
Montalbetti and Oyler; nurses Kelsey, Nancy, Helen and Erin and physio Jasmine. We are gratetful for the BC Ambulance Service, and the ER and entire stroke team of 5 North at RIH. We have travelled to countries such as Haiti, Sierra Leone and Nepal, providing medical care. Compared to these countries and much of the developing world, we have it so good when it comes to health care. We believe education, health care, good governance, a fair justice system and policing
are essential rights. Living and working in places where these rights are shaky at best and non-existent at worst have made us so grateful for what we have here and often take for granted. Sure, no system is perfect and things happens, but we cannot complain one bit about our recent experience in our health system. It was nothing but the best. Mark and Margaret Hyslop Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: NEW CURRICULUM FOR B.C. STUDENTS:
“Having been active in this venue for the past 17 years, my only observation is that public education has transitioned from teaching our kids how to think to teaching kids what to think. “It is an appalling disgrace in my view. “By catering to the lowest common denominator, even the rudimentary basics once taught have now become McEducation (a.k.a common core). “When I attended public school in the 1960s and 1970s, the purpose of the enterprise was to produce literate citizens. “It is now geared to careerclustering, generating widgets for corporate needs. “Knowledge is being replaced by the ability to use Google to parrot search-engine optimized gamed results to reinforce a Potemkin Village view of the world.” — posted by Peter

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A young black bear spotted roaming around populated areas of the city this week has been driven 30 kilometres into the woods and given one more chance to stay away. Conservation officer Jesse Jones — who was busy chasing the two-anda-half to three-year-old bruin around Sahali and downtown for the better part of three days — said the animal was first spotted last week near the city’s public works department building on Concordia Way. “We were able to chase him into the public works yard and, eventually, into Kenna Cartwright,” he said. “We were hoping he wouldn’t come back.” It was bad news, however, when the little guy made his way back down the hill to the Hillside Drive and Notre Dame area, causing a “ruckus”, Jones said, amid traffic on Monday. On Tuesday, the bear was spotted at various locations in Sahali — near the cemetery, Bank of Montreal and Safeway — before travelling down into the McGill Road-Arrowstone Drive area. On Wednesday, Jones said the office received at least 20 calls about the black bear in the Pine Street and 13 Avenue area downtown. “That’s where we caught up with him,” he said. Conservation officers were able to tree and tranquilize the bear and transport him back to the office to tag his ears before taking him 30 kilometres out of town to an undisclosed location
and, after waiting with him for a couple of hours, leaving him there. Jones said if he comes back, it’s likely the bear will have to be euthanized, noting the streets will be filled with schoolchildren next week. Jones points to several likely reasons the bear has been rummaging around the area. “He’s a young male, nobody wants him around, not even other bears,” he said. “It’s hard for him to find a little territory where he’s welcome. That’s why he may be moving around so much in Kamloops.” Jones said attractants are also a problem and urged people to manage garbage and fruit. “There’s a lot of fruit on the ground, ripe fruit on the trees,” he said. “Right now, for that particular bear, that’s the main attractant.” Either way, Jones isn’t optimistic relocation will keep him away. “It’s probably likely he’ll come back,” Jones said. “But, we’re giving him a chance.” A 300-pound black bear was killed by conservation officers last week after taking territory in Pioneer Park downtown. It was the first to be killed this year, though August was a busy month for conservation officers in managing bears. They received 64 calls in August for the Thompson region, with 49 in Kamloops alone. There have been 93 calls since bears season began in April.
Help keep bears alive A quick reminder in preventing the animals from wandering into your yard: Put away bird feeders, pick ripe fruit from trees, don’t leave fallen fruit on the ground, keep garbage out of sight and reach (preferably in a garage), keep barbecues clean and, for rural residents, keep chickens and livestock inside at night when possible. Those who encounter wildlife, poachers or polluters can call a 24-hour hotline at 1-877-952-7277.

Broncos and Rams to play chicken MARTY HASTINGS

acob Palmarin’s late touchdown was the difference between a devastating loss and a characterbuilding win for the Kamloops Broncos. With their already tenuous hopes of hosting a home playoff game on the line, the Broncos were down six points with 2:45 remaining in the fourth quarter against the Westshore Rebels in Langford on Saturday. Kamloops marched. Palmarin scored. The Broncos won 37-36. Head coach Brad Yamaoka breathed a sigh of relief. “It probably wasn’t our best game we’ve ever played, but we fought through it and scored when we had to,” Yamaoka said. “There were no big plays on the drive. We gave it to Jake and pounded it down there.” The next most important game of the B.C. Football Conference season comes tomorrow when Kamloops (4-2) squares off against the hometown Langley Rams (3-3). If Hillside Stadium is going to see post-season action in 2015, the Broncos must first beat the Rams to even the season series 1-1 — and win by at least nine points to secure a points-differential advantage. The Rams bucked the Broncos 25-17 at Hillside Stadium on Aug. 2. “If we win in Langley, it puts us in good shape and in the mix for a tiebreaker with everyone else,” Yamaoka said. “It’s probably the most important game of the year and it will have huge implications come playoff time.” With a 53-0 shellacking of the

Saturday, Sept. 5 Kamloops @ Langley 7 p.m. McLeod Stadium Valley Huskers (0-5) in Nanaimo last Saturday, the Vancouver Island Raiders (4-2) held serve in the race for second place in league standings and a home playoff game. The Raiders are tasked with a trip to Kelowna on Sunday to play the league-leading Okanagan Sun, who, at 5-0 and showing no signs of slowing down, are the odds-on favourite to hoist the Cullen Cup this fall. Yamaoka is trying not to focus on what other teams are doing, but admits thoughts on points differential and out-of-town scores are not far from his mind on the sidelines. “Our first goal is to win a football game,” the Broncos’ bench boss said. “If we get into the situation where nine points is close, we’ll start thinking about the tiebreaker.” The Broncos have posted only one win over the Rams in franchise history — 13-5 at Hillside Stadium on Sept. 11, 2010, when the Rams still called Surrey home. Win No. 2 over Langley — which is looking to rebound from a 52-10 home loss to Okanagan on Sunday — will not come easy. “Watching film, we made a lot of mistakes against Westshore,” Yamaoka said. “Defensively, we didn’t play well. We need to be better.”

MUSINGS FROM MARK RECCHI WAY
W
ith the Kamloops Blazers set to open pre-season play today against the Prince George Cougars, it seems an ideal time to offer training-camp insight from the past week. The most memorable interview I conducted was with 15-year-old spark plug Jackson Shepard, who the Blazers flocked to 23rd overall at this year’s draft. I’ve been sucked in before by kids who seem nice and say all the right things, but I’m pretty sure Kamloops has a gem in Shepard when it comes to character. Sometimes players that age freeze when the microphone comes on or they stumble through the interview, but Shepard, seemingly bursting with excitement, handled himself well. Clearly, the North Shore Winter Club product has a lot of pep. If he blossoms into a top-tier player, fans can expect to be entertained by the diminutive forward for the next few years — on and off the ice. Switching gears to the D-core, I’m going to read into the tone of voice taken by Blazers’ GM Craig Bonner in a Wednesday interview. He sounded genuinely pleased with the progress of defencemen Cam Reagan and Travis Verveda, both of whom struggled

last season, while he came across less thrilled with the team’s third-overall pick in 2014, Nolan Kneen. Take that for what it’s worth, though. Kneen will be given every opportunity to put his skillset on display in the coming month. Let’s now head into the crease. All signs point toward Connor Ingram backing up his breakout season with sophomore success, not only because of his impressive performance in the Blue vs. White intrasquad game on Tuesday, but because of his mindset heading into a new season. Amidst using self-deprecating humour to highlight his videogame version’s ineptness in the EA Sports NHL franchise, Ingram made it clear he won’t let complacency sneak into his game. Last season doesn’t mean much if he turns into Red Light Racicot this fall. He knows that. Goaltending should be a strong suit for the Blazers.
VERSION 2 HORIZONTAL
Cole Kehler and Dylan Ferguson are embroiled in competition for the back-up spot. Kehler told me he’s been through the fire and it’s made him stronger. Ferguson said the only thing he wants in life right now is to make the team. Finally, if you’ve ever wondered how the Blazers cut players — picture a firing line. It doesn’t always go down this way but, after the Tuesday intrasquad tilt, they were lined up against a wall near the visitors’ dressing room and, after a word with team scouting staff, told their services were no longer required. Most of them already know they’re on the way out, unsigned players ineligible for pre-season action. It’s not mean-spirited. Still, it must be an awkward few minutes, waiting for the axe to fall.

These super soft and super stretchy pants willl instantly become a go-to for summ summer hiking, winter biking, and anything else you can think of. Breathable, lightweight and oh so soft on your skin!! Our staff tried these in the Rockies this summer and were blown away.
In the club’s only home game of the pre-season, a few Kamloops Storm hopefuls left their mark. The Storm played to a 3-3 tie against the Revelstoke Grizzlies on Wednesday night, but with roster spots rather than points on the line, it wasn’t necessarily the results that stood out for Kyle Panasuk. “There’s definitely a few that, after our first game in Revy, were a little bit nervous,” the assistant coach said. The Storm lost 9-3 in their exhibition opener in Revelstoke on Sunday. “A lot of guys hadn’t played any games in this league [the KIJHL] — [they] played with a little more confidence tonight and it showed, especially in how we played and not just the result.” Panasuk said forward Dante Raposo, defenceman Sol Seibel and goaltender Billy Cawthorn were among the standouts Wednesday. Siebel, a Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA) product and Swift Current Broncos’ draft pick, played the majority of his 2014-2015 season for the Okanagan Hockey Academy. In 28 games with the academy’s White Prep team, he had seven points, including one goal. The 1999-born defender isn’t entirely new to the Storm. He played in four games last season as a 15-year-old and notched a pair of assists. He is expected to vie for time among Kamloops’ top four on a young back end as one of the team’s two 16-year-olds this season, along with fellow defender Austin Crossley. Seibel was steady in his first pre-season appearance Wednesday. To start the first period, he made
a good defensive play to break up a Revelstoke rush before throwing an open-ice hit at centre. He later assisted on Kamloops’ first goal. Raposo also chipped in with an assist on Wednesday and used his speed to generate a handful of chances, including a shorthanded breakaway attempt. A 1997-born product of the Airdrie Minor Hockey Association, Raposo played for the midget AA Airdrie Lightning last season. Cawthorn, meanwhile, is on the radar for a spot in the Kamloops crease. Twenty-year-old goaltender Jake Mullen is a lock to make the Storm out of camp, so Cawthorn is battling with KMHA product Spencer Eschyshyn (1998) for the remaining spot in the blue paint. Eschyshyn is in Merritt, trying out for the junior A Centennials. A 1998-born Vernon minor hockey product, Cawthorn allowed six goals in two games against Revelstoke. Kamloops will be in 100 Mile House this weekend for a pair of games against the Wranglers. Panasuk said the team will likely make a few cuts before the trip and will utilize all its regulars. Kamloops is 0-1-1 in pre-season action, while 100 Mile House has yet to get exhibition play underway. Kamloops will open the regular season on Sept. 11 in Golden to face the Rockets, before returning to Kamloops for a Sept. 18 homeopener against the Grizzlies. “It’s a young, nervous group, to be honest,” Panasuk said. “We’re glad that guys have graduated and gone on to higher levels, but it makes for a lot of young guys, a lot of nervous play. Like I said, it got better tonight, just the second game in.”

NFL deflated JUDGE RULES IN BRADY’S FAVOUR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A judge let the air out of “Deflategate’’ yesterday, erasing New England quarterback Tom Brady’s fourgame suspension for a controversy the NFL claimed threatened football’s integrity. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell promised to appeal. U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman criticized Goodell for dispensing “his own brand of industrial justice’’ as he found multiple reasons to reject the suspension and find Brady’s treatment “fundamentally unfair.’’ The Super Bowl winner has insisted he played no role in a conspiracy to deflate footballs below the allowable limit at last season’s AFC championship game, a 45-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts.
TOM BRADY
The judge cited “several significant legal deficiencies’’ in the league’s handling of the controversy, including no advanced notice of potential penalties, the refusal to produce a key witness and the apparent first-ever discipline of a player based on a finding of “general awareness’’ of someone else’s wrongdoing. “Because there was no notice of a fourgame suspension in the circumstances presented here, Commissioner Goodell may be said to have ‘dispensed his own brand of industrial justice,’’’ Berman wrote, partially citing wording from a previous case. He said a player’s
right to notice was “at the heart’’ of the collective bargaining agreement “and, for that matter, of our criminal and civil justice systems.’’ “The court finds that Brady had no notice that he could receive a four-game suspension for general awareness of ball deflation by others,’’ the judge wrote. In a statement, Goodell said he will appeal the ruling “to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game.’’ He called the need to secure the game’s competitive fairness “a paramount principle.’’ NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league would not seek an emergency stay, freeing Brady to play while an appeals court considers the case. The Patriots open Sept. 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Donaldson MVP frontrunner STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO— When Josh Donaldson steps to the plate at Rogers Centre and the strains of Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight fade out, the crowd noise fills in with chants of “M-V-P! M-VP!’’ Sometimes it’s just a few hundred fans, until the star Blue Jays slugger hits a home run and some 40,000 more join the call. “I try not to listen to it too much, but it’s nice,’’ Donaldson said. “Obviously, all year the fans have really supported me. So far this year it’s kind of worked out, and we’ll see how it goes.’’ To say it has “worked out’’ is the understatement of the year from the third baseman, a front-runner to be the American League’s Most Valuable Player. Donaldson leads the league with a .589 slugging percentage, 111 runs batted in, 304 total bases and 104 runs scored. He has passed and even lapped defending champion Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels by being at the forefront of the Blue Jays’ surge into first place. “I don’t think we’re anywhere close to where we’re at without him,’’ starting pitcher Mark Buehrle said. “If he doesn’t win, I’d be disappointed.’’ Donaldson would be the first
player in 31 years to win AL MVP honours after being traded prior to opening day. Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos pulled off the steal of the off-season by acquiring Donaldson from the Oakland Athletics for oft-injured third baseman Brett Lawrie. The 29-year-old hit 29 home runs last season and 24 in 2013. Coming off an all-star appearance, expectations were that Donaldson would be an upgrade, but few could have predicted this. “Two years in Oakland he had good years, but not this good,’’ Buehrle said. “If somebody says they thought he was going to have this good of a year, I think they’re crazy.’’ Donaldson, who hits second ahead of power righties Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion in baseball’s most feared and productive lineup, is batting a career-best .304 and already has 36 home runs with 29 games left. Using the wins above replacement stat, which calculates value to a team if replaced by a bench player or minor-leaguer, Donaldson’s 7.64 trails only Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke and Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper. The Jays are hosting the Baltimore Orioles today, with Drew Hutchison set to take the mound for Toronto against Ubaldo Jimenez. Game time is 4:07 p.m.

WHO IS STEALING THE FUEL Theft of diesel fuel is continuing in the City and nearby areas. The latest occurred on Monday, September 28th sometime overnight. A business on the 700 block of Mount Paul Way was the target, this time 300 litres of diesel fuel was taken. With the high cost of diesel, this is not only expensive to the owners of the vehicle, it is time consuming to the contractors who are scheduled to work that day to replace the stolen fuel. Last week a suspect vehicle was seen in the area where two other thefts of fuel took place, the vehicle was a white Ford extended cab pickup truck, with a red “Tidy Tank” in the back. This truck, with the tank is more than capable in carrying the amount of fuel that was taken. In each of the thefts, the theft was visible to the travelling public and someone may have seen something suspicious. If you have any information on these thefts or may have seen this Ford Truck late at night in the light industrial areas, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

a Caucasian male, in his mid 50’s with a grey goatee and a slim build. The other suspect is a Caucasian male, late 20’s, slim build with a beard. There was info that these two were staying at a local camp ground but had departed prior to the police attending. It is certain that these two criminals will commit other thefts maybe even the same way.

Crosby king in EA Sports offering NEIL DAVIDSON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Once again, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is the gold standard of EA Sports’ NHL video game. NHL 16 gives Crosby a 96 player rating, ahead of Chicago Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews (94), Montreal Canadiens star goalie Carey Price (94), Nashville defenceman Shea Weber (94) and Washington Capitals sniper Alex Ovechkin (93). The rest of the top 10 in the game are Chicago defenceman Duncan Keith (93), Los Angeles defenceman Drew Doughty (93), Tampa Bay centre Steven Stamkos (93), New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (93) and Detroit’s Pavel Datsyuk (93). EA Sports, which develops the game in suburban Vancouver, released the top 50 player ratings Wednesday. The 28-year-old Crosby has dominated the game’s ratings in recent years at 96 (NHL 15), 95 (NHL 13 and 14) and 94 (NHL 12). In the past, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux also topped the charts but the process for achieving the ratings has changed so comparing their numbers with those today is apples and oranges. Ottawa defenceman Erik Karlsson (91) stands 26th overall in the new game’s ratings while Habs blue-liner P.K. Subban (91) is 27th. Forward Taylor Hall (90) is the top Oiler at 31st. No. 1 draft pick Connor McDavid’s
rating will be released Monday with other rookies. Montreal forward Max Pacioretty (89) is 44th while Calgary blue-liner
Mark Giordano (89) is 46th. There are no Maple Leafs, Jets or Canucks in the game’s top 50. Toronto fans may be interested to know that former Leaf Phil
Kessel, now a Penguin, ranks 47th with a rating of 89. The best possible rating in the game is 99 which would denote a “perfect hockey player,’’ according to “NHL 16’’ associate producer Andy Agostini. The overall numbers are drawn from a subset of some 20 skill ratings from strength to shot quality, with goalies having their own skills menu. The game’s NHL and Canadian Hockey League ratings are done in conjunction with a pro scout while the European leagues are done regionally. Player ratings are adjusted as the season wears on, to reflect real-life action. There is usually one major roster update in midseason with minor player tweaks happening at other times. “The ratings not only determine what happens on the ice in the game, but also determine what happens in our simulation engine,’’ said Agostini. “So it is a big factor when you’re playing a (game) feature like ‘Be a Pro’ or ‘Be a GM,’ and you’re running a franchise. Still, as in real life, teams sometimes don’t live up to expectations. Agostini points to last year’s Los Angeles Kings, who finished just out of the playoffs. A few players see their ratings and raise objections. Most, however, do not object especially when they learn how the numbers are created, says Agostini. NHL 16 is due out Sept. 15 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
BOUCHARD, RAONIC REACH ROUND 3 AT U.S. OPEN THE CANADIAN PRESS
Eugenie Bouchard has a winning streak for the first time in nearly six months and is in Round 3 of the U.S. Open, along with fellow Canadian Milos Raonic. Bouchard, the 2014 Wimbledon runner-up, has been going through a rough season, and her 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-3 victory over Polona Hercog of Slovenia in the U.S. Open’s second round Wednesday represented the first time since March at Indian Wells, Calif., that she won twice in a row. “I know. It’s like a huge deal,’’ the 25th-seeded Canadian said when a reporter mentioned how long she’d gone without consecutive victories. Before arriving at Flushing Meadows, Bouchard had lost 14 of her previous 17 matches. She spent time last week working in New York with Jimmy
Connors ahead of the U.S. Open. “I kept the confidence up and the belief. Tried to keep myself going energy-wise. Those are all things that I think helped today,’’ Bouchard said. “Those are all things that I didn’t do so well in past matches where I’ve lost. As long as I’m taking a step in the right direction, I’m happy with that and I can’t ask for more.’’ Bouchard will play Dominika Cibulkova of Slovenia today at 7 a.m. in Round 3 action. Raonic was lying on his stomach on the court, face resting on his hands, wincing as a trainer kneaded his lower back. The 10th-seeded Canadian received treatment in each of the last three sets of his 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (1) win over Fernando Verdasco in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday. “There were sometimes doubts — should I keep going or not?’’ he said later. “The worst part was
it was sort of getting worse and worse.’’ Raonic said his back had been bothering him since before the Masters event at Montreal in early August. He missed the French Open after surgery on his right foot and said he hasn’t played pain-free since the first couple months of the year. “It’s tiring,’’ he said. “When you wake up every morning you’re sort of asking yourself, am I going to be better today?’’ Raonic will face 18th-seeded Feliciano Lopez, who played a five-set match Wednesday. They meet today at 7 a.m. “That mental fortitude today is what has gotten me, through, and it’s what’s going to give me a chance in my next match as well,’’ Raonic said. “I just have to keep plugging away and trying to be better and better each match.’’
Eugenie Bouchard might be returning to 2014 form.
Canada posts wins ahead of Rugby World Cup THE CANADIAN PRESS
ESHER, England — Canada continued its preparations for the upcoming Rugby
World Cup with a 16-15 victory over Georgia in a tuneup game on Wednesday. Andrew Tiedemann scored a try and Nathan
Hirayama kicked 11 points as Canada won its second match in a row. Canada beat the Glasgow Warriors in
Halifax on Saturday, a day before leaving for England. Georgia is ranked 13th in the world, compared to No. 18 for Canada. But
Wednesday’s contest was not considered an official test match by World Rugby, the sport’s governing body. Canada plays its
final warmup Sunday against ninth-ranked Fiji at the Twickenham Stoop. It opens the tournament Sept. 19 against
No. 2 Ireland in Cardiff before taking on No. 15 Italy, No. 7 France and No. 17 Romania in other Group D matches.

Obituaries & In Memoriam FLOYD ROSSER HALCROW Floyd Rosser Halcrow passed away peacefully on August 28, 2015 with his loving wife of 64 years, Verlie Anne by his side at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. His is also survived by his six sons, John, Mike, Paul, Ron, David (Debbie) Stephen (Terena) and many grandchildren, as well as his brother Gordon (Lorna Mae) and numerous nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his parents and nine siblings. Floyd was born August 11, 1931 in Prince Albert, SK to John and Mae Halcrow. The family moved to various locations in Saskatchewan before moving to Powell River, BC. He met the love of his life, Verlie, in Surrey, BC. They married November 10, 1951 and started their family right away. During this time Floyd was employed at Domtar for 20 years. In December of 1969 Floyd and Verlie packed up their family and moved to Valemount. They had a vision for ministry outreach which was achieved by Bible camps and various retreats which eventually led to the establishment of a church later named Full Gospel Lighthouse. Upon arriving in Valemount Floyd took a job with School District #57 driving school bus. Eventually he was hired by the Department of Highways and worked there for 16 years. He retired in 1987. Floyd and Verlie eventually found themselves in Kamloops in 1991. Because Floyd liked to be active he took up driving school bus once again for the Kamloops Christian School, as well as delivery driver for Fritz’s Bakery. One of Floyd’s pleasures was a house full of family and friends, enjoying a meal around the table. To coin a phrase, “Mother, look at all that beautiful food!” Floyd had a big heart and a stranger was never turned away. His big smile, twinkle in his eye, quick humour and gentle way will be missed by all. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday September 4th at 2:00 pm at Kamloops Free Methodist, 975 Windbreak St. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the New Life Mission, if you so wish.

VALERIE ANNE SPANOS September 2,1957 - August 25, 2015 It is with profound sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Valerie Anne Spanos (nee Turgeon) on August 25, 2015 in Maple Ridge, BC. Born to Joseph and Irene Turgeon in Eagle Bay, British Columbia, she is survived by her husband of 32 years, George, and their sons Andrew, of Pitt Meadows, and Kyle of Maple Ridge. Her caring and loving presence will also be missed by her mother Irene, sister Sue (Hal), brothers Robert (Cathy) and Pat ( Brenda), nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins, many friends and co-workers and especially by her K9 kids, Doodle and Ginger. Valerie was a very special person and her compassion for humanity led to her career of 35 years as a Registered Nurse. She worked in many aspects of this field but her most satisfying years were spent in Pediatrics and the Intensive Care Nursery. Her most recent position was working one on one with medically compromised children in a home and school setting. She loved her calling and poured her heart, soul and skills into caring for others. From an early age, Val had a love for animals that knew no bounds. As a child, she would bring home stray cats and firmly insist that the family had to adopt them. This love of animals carried into her adult life and many rescued dogs, cats, and critters found a safe haven for life in her home. Val had an exceptional gift of music. She played piano, guitar and had a beautiful singing voice. She sang in many choirs throughout her life including the Anglican Youth Choir, and singing groups in Kamloops, BC and most recently sang with a choir in Maple Ridge. Her most treasured musical moments were the times that she spent sharing her gift with children, including those that she cared for medically. Valerie spent her life caring, giving and putting others needs ahead of her own. She will be terribly missed and leaves an enormous void in many lives. We all love her desperately. There will be a service held at the St. George’s Anglican Church, 23500 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge, BC at 1:30 P.M. on Saturday, September 19, 2015 for those that would like to join the family in remembering Valerie’s life. Should anyone wish, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Maple Ridge SPCA or animal care charity of your choice.
Celebration of Life BOB FURSETH
Bob Furseth had a great life and the time has come to celebrate it. On Saturday, September 5th, some of his friends and family will gather to spread some ashes, share some stories, and make plans to enjoy each day that comes. In the morning, we will be at Stake Lake ski trails at 10am to scatter his ashes at one of his favourite places. From 1pm to 4pm, we will be at 1217 Pine Street to tell and hear stories of a life well lived. In keeping with Dad’s style, the day will be informal and never in danger of being over-planned. Dress for the weather, bring your memories and any favourite photos. Dad had a great time during his 87 years on this planet, starting as a mischievous boy, the youngest of eight kids, on a farm near Waldeck, SK. He soon became “Uncle Robert” and enjoyed entertaining his nieces and nephews. He started a long career with the CPR in freight sheds in Vancouver before moving to Kamloops, playing the kazoo in the early years of the Kamloops Rube Band, getting married and starting his own family. He was actively involved in hosting the first running marathon in Kamloops, and spent most of his 30 plus retired years with the Overlander Ski Club. He was skiing less than two weeks before his sudden trip to the hospital on April 29th, and he and Mum had gone on a road trip to Wells Gray Park the weekend before. As his skiing and running friends will remember, Dad never rushed anything, and his slow and comfortable path to May 15th gave his family time to accept. If Dad had one regret, I think it would be that he missed a chance to ski with his friends on April 28th, 2015.

Q: Why so many ashes from my little grandpa? A: Cremated remains are bone fragments. A little person from Sahali might have great bone mass and more ashes; a larger person from NorKam might have small bones and less ashes. The ashes usually weight anywhere from about 4 to 8 pounds.

Examining common barriers to belief
D
uane Liftin, president emeritus of the famed Wheaton College in Illinois, wrote in a recent article that “the gospel’s inherent power does not fluctuate with the strengths or weaknesses of its messengers.” In the gospels, Jesus was God’s power incarnate. He was the pillar of strength all the way, even while on earth. The challenges he faced while displaying his power, even from his religious contemporaries, did not weaken his resolve at all to fulfill the will of God in its entirety. A story of his healing work does indicate that it was not he, but his fence-sitting ‘admirers’ who were victims of their own unwillingness to believe in him. Apostle John related

WATCH the story in great detail in chapter five of his gospel, wherein a cripple was instantly healed by Jesus from his time-wasting disease of 38 years. Year after year, he lay near a pool, apparently without friends and completely paralyzed. None helped him until Jesus saw him. Yet, before doing the instant miracle on him, Jesus asked him a strange question: Do you want to be healed? It is easy for physi-

cal weakness, mental depression, a sense of hopelessness and despair to take away our willingness to do anything in such circumstances. We might even be unwilling to believe and obey someone who has the power to heal us and make us whole. I once asked a research student at a university if he would be willing to become a Christian if his intellectual objections were answered. He had the honesty to admit that he was not willing to believe for other reasons. Sometimes, man’s greatest barrier to belief is his unwillingness to believe, however convincing reasons for believing might be. The cripple in the story did not understand how Jesus could help him, but when Jesus spoke to him he obeyed and was

healed. He had overcome one barrier to belief. But, he had not bargained on the religious prejudices of some of the Jews who were watching him at close quarters. At times, even religious people create serious barriers to belief for would-be disciples . In this story, the Jews had become super-legalistic about observing Sabbath. The law had said the Sabbath day must be different from other days. But, the Jewish ecclesiastical leaders were not content with broad principles. They had set out 39 different classifications about law of routine work. Hence, certainly the man who was carrying his bed on the day of his healing was working. No wonder the

healed man, upon questioning by the Jews, tells them it was Jesus they wanted, not him. It looked as if religious men were once again trying to hinder a man from finding and following the truth. The writer John gave two reasons for the growing hostility of religious bodies towards Jesus. First, although Jesus kept the Sabbath in principle, he ignored the petty rules and regulations imposed by the church of his day. Second, because Jesus claimed to be equal with God. When the Bible says that God rested on the seventh day, it means that He rested from one form of activity (creation) and continued on to other forms. It does not mean that from that moment He ceased to be active in the affairs of men. “My Father is
working still, and I am working,” said Jesus. To the Jews, these words made Jesus a blasphemer who was claiming to be equal with God and therefore deserving of death. The real question is whether Jesus had the right to say such things. We must be willing to obey the truth when we discover it, and we must be ready to distinguish between religious prejudice and religious principles. If we don’t, we shall find ourselves diverted from the truth or even be hostile to it.

election in Port Moody-Coquitlam for the New Democrats, said he delivered a letter in March to Alexander on behalf of Abdullah’s sister Tima Kurdi, who lives in the Vancouver area. Citizenship and Immigration Canada said it did not get a refugee application for Abdullah. It did, however, receive an application for his brother, Mohammed, but said it was incomplete and did not meet the requirements for proof of refugee status. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said the images of Alan reminded him of the iconic Vietnam war photo of the naked, nine-year-old girl fleeing a napalm attack in 1972. “Chris Alexander has a lot to answer for, but that’s not where we are right now. We’re worried about how we got here,’’ Mulcair said in Toronto. “The international community has failed. Canada has failed.’’ In Brossard, Que., Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was asked about Alexander’s decision to get an update on the Kurdi family case. “You don’t get to suddenly discover compassion in the middle of an election campaign. You either have it or you don’t,’’ Trudeau said.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said the image of a dead boy on a Turkish beach is heartbreaking, but it doesn’t change the need to fight the Islamic militants that are the root cause of the suffering in Syria and Iraq. Harper said yesterday he and his wife Laureen saw the tragic photo of threeyear-old Alan Kurdi on the Internet and that it evoked images of their own son, Ben, frolicking at that age. But, Harper added the problem is bigger than one tragedy, saying he’s seen tens of thousands of people affected by the ongoing violence in refugee camps in Iraq and Jordan. “We have to do everything. I think that is the reaction people should have . . . We had the same reaction, Laureen and I, as everybody else when we see the photo — it’s heart-wrenching, it brings you right to your own family,’’ the prime minister said in Surrey. Harper said Canada will admit more refugees from the region, but must also continue to stand with its allies in the fight against the extremists who are forcing people to flee their homes. He says that’s why Canada must stay
the course, both militarily and by providing humanitarian aid to those affected by the continuing violence. “We need to help people who are actually there and can’t get away. And part of the way we need to help them is to stop the awful violence that is being directed at them, displacing them and killing them.’’ Canada has contributed six CF-18 fighter jets and 69 special forces soldiers training Kurdish fighters to the international coalition fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The war planes are also bombing ISIL positions in Syria. Harper spoke after he postponed a campaign announcement and cancelled a photo op as Europe’s refugee crisis washed over the federal election. Immigration Minister Chris Alexander rushed back to Ottawa to deal with the sad case of the Syrian family drowned while trying to get to Europe. The photos of the dead boy on a Turkish beach and news of a Canadian connection to the child rocked the campaign. Alan, his five-year-old brother Galib Kurdi and their mother, Rehan, died in an unsuccessful attempt to reach Europe by boat. The father, Abdullah, survived. Fin Donnelly, who is running for re-

Citizenship and Immigration Canada says it received no refugee application from the father of two drowned Syrian boys who have put a devastating human face to the Syrian refugee crisis. It did, however, receive an application for Abdullah Kurdi’s brother, Mohammed, but said it was incomplete and did not meet regulatory requirements for proof of refugee status recognition. Hours earlier, the uncle of young Alan Kurdi — the subject of a seaside photo that has served as a heart-breaking illustration of the plight of Syrian refugees — assailed Canada’s refugee process even as questions swirled about whether his relatives had actually officially applied to enter the country as refugees. Rocco Logozzo told The Canadian Press that the system doesn’t work, adding his family had money and plenty of room to house the Kurdi boys and their parents in Coquitlam, B.C., and had put in a private sponsorship request. Logozzo said it was rejected in June. A few hours later, however, Logozzo’s wife, Tima Kurdi, told a news conference that the family hadn’t made an official request for that family, but for Mohammed Kurdi. Nonetheless,
her story of their attempts to bring their family members to Canada underscored the desperation and difficulties that confront would-be refugee claimants. Tima Kurdi said she and her husband were only able to offer financial support for a single refugee application, she said, so they planned to apply for Mohammad and subsequently bring Abdullah and his family to Canada. She added that it was impossible to secure the necessary documents for her brother, Mohammed, from Turkey. “How would you feel when people are running from the border and the Turkish border guards are shooting in the air? What would you do?’’ she said. Because she suspected an application for Abdullah would have been rejected on similar grounds, Tima said she decided to send money to bring the family across the Mediterranean by boat. “I’m not asking the government to spend money on them,’’ said Tima. “I sent him the money to cross the water.’’ Logozzo said his relatives were desperate. “When they heard [the refugee application] failed, they lost all hope, and in a desperate situation, you make all these wrong decisions,’’ Logozzo said as he explained why his relatives
opted to get on a boat in coastal Turkey, on the Aegean Sea, to try to get to Europe. The Kurdi boys and their mother were among at least 12 migrants, including five children, who drowned Wednesday when two boats carrying them to the Greek island of Kos capsized. Abdullah Kurdi, Tima Kurdi’s brother and the father of the boys, survived after their speed boat was struck by a large wave. Logozzo said Abdullah told his sister that he put lifejackets on both boys, but they somehow slipped off when the boat flipped over. About 250,000 people have been killed and more than one million wounded in Syria since March 2011, according to United Nations officials. More than half the country’s population has been displaced, including more than four million who have fled Syria. The route between the Turkish community of Bodrum and Kos, just a few kilometres, is one of the shortest from Turkey to the Greek islands, but remains dangerous. Hundreds of migrants a day attempt the perilous sea crossing despite the risks. A UN panel reported Thursday that more than 2,000 Syrians have drowned in the Mediterranean while trying to reach Europe since 2011.
Fine follows hit on swimming deer TERRACE — A Portuguese man has been fined $1 by a British Columbia court and ordered to donate $5,000 to a wildlife trust for hitting a swimming deer on the head off B.C.’s northwest coast. Rodolfo Lopes, pleaded guilty in Terrace provincial court on Wednesday to one count of harassing wildlife with a motor vehicle. The Crown stayed a Criminal Code charge of causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal. Judge Terence Wright ordered Lopes to donate
the $5,000, money he paid in bail, to the Heritage Conservation Trust Fund and also prohibited him from approaching wildlife for the next two years. Crown counsel Corinne Baerg said Lopes was on a fishing charter returning to Kitimat when he spotted the deer. The charter operator ran the boat along side the deer, and Baerg said that’s when Lopes hit the animal on the head with what was described as a jig or gaff in attempt to haul it on board. — The Canadian Press

GRAB A PINT
STAFF REPORTER
eer may be at the heart of a new festival coming to Kamloops this month, but organizers of the city’s first Brewloops are as interested in where you hoist your pint as what you put in it. “Rather than building it around a convention centre where you go and get drunk, it’s built around a whole city, where you go and enjoy a lot of the things the city has to offer,” said Mitchell Forgie, co-owner of Red Beard Cafe and one of the organizers of the four-day event. Running from Sept. 24 to Sept. 27, Brewloops features events on both sides of the river aimed at both seasoned beer nerds and those who can’t tell a session beer from a saison, but are interested in trying something new. “The cool thing about craft beer, and the success of it, is there are no rules,” Forgie said.
Monday - Saturday: 9:30 am-5:30 pm & Sunday 12:00 -4:00 pm Locally Owned & Operated • Jewellery repairs done on location
THURSDAY:
Tech Brew: 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Red Collar Brew University: 5 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m at Noble Pig. Cost: $20. FRIDAY:
Industry Social: Limited tickets to the public, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Red Collar. Cost: $10 at the door for public. Launch Party: Cost: $25. Beer tokens, food for cash at Red Beard. SATURDAY:
Farmers’ Market Tasting: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square Cask Tasting: 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Kamloops Curling Club. Cost: $100. SUNDAY:
Beer Brunch: 10 a.m. to 2 pm. at Noble Pig. “People can be like, oh, if I brew something with hibiscus and chamomile tea and
rose hips and barrel-age it in Chardonnay barrels and add grape juice and filter it through rice, I can do that. “And I think because of that lack of rules, beer now can be so many things. It’s appealing for someone who really wants to go out there and try something new and challenge their tastebuds.” Breweries featured during the tastings, parties and classes include Four Winds — a Delta-based brewery named the country’s best at this summer’s Canadian Brewing Awards — local outfits The Noble Pig and Red Collar and more. Over the course of the festival, many will offer special one-time-only brews, as well as offerings from their regular lineups. The weekend’s two biggest events are a Friday night launch party at Red Beard and a 10-beer tasting Saturday night at the Kamloops Curling Club. Launch night includes a live music lineup with Gleneagle, Mindil Beach and Good for Grapes on an

outdoor stage in the cafe’s parking lot, fenced in for the night, as well as a variety of beers from B.C. breweries. The cask tasting, meanwhile, includes food pairings from a number of the city’s high-end restaurants and nine one-of-a-kind beers. A 10th brew will come from Red Collar, Red Beard and The Noble Pig, which are joining forces for a special collaborative brew: the Double Dubbel, a darker, coffee-flavoured beer (Red Beard will supply the beans). Other events include Beer University, tastings at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market and special walking tours with a brewing bent from the Kamloops Museum. “Even for people who live in Kamloops, they might end up finding themselves some place they haven’t been before,” Forgie said. Profits from the weekend will go to Western Canada Theatre and the Kamloops West Rotary Club. For more information on Brewloops, including tickets, go online to brewloopsfest.ca.

between Dalhousie and University drives? A: The long and short of it is it’s in the works. City of Kamloops traffic and transportation engineer Elnaz Ansari told KTW a sidewalk along the south side of McGill Road is in the city’s pedestrian master plan. “However, the exact timeline of its construction cannot be confirmed at this time,” she said. “The sidewalk will be extended to close the gap between Dalhousie Drive and University Drive as funding becomes available.”

While a sidewalk is in the city’s pedestrian plans for McGill Road between Dalhousie and University drives, it’s unclear when it will be installed.

24-hour cycling trip tomorrow It is the Labour Day weekend and, fittingly, Ian Fillinger will be working hard as he raises awareness for the 2015 Scotiabank MS Bike, which takes place on Sept. 20. Beginning at 7 a.m. tomorrow, Fillinger will ride for 24 hours straight from Kamloops to the McLure ferry to raise awareness of the Scotiabank MS Bike, the largest cycling series in North America. It is a pledge-based fundraising event that sees cyclists of all abilities and ages ride through scenic parts of the province in support of ending multiple sclerosis. The goal for the 2015 Scotiabank MS Bike: Thompson River Ride is to raise $50,000 with 200 participants. To encourage more people to sign up for the event in Kamloops, Fillinger’s 24-hour ride will be along the Scotiabank MS Bike route. He will start his ride tomorrow in Riverside Park. Funds raised from the MS Bike support innovative research into the cause, treatment and cure of MS, as well as provide valuable services and programs for Canadians affected by MS.

Hit the road A circle drive from Whitehorse
KAROLINE CULLEN
TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES
Two oldtimers slouch in chairs outside the saloon, hats clamped low on their foreheads, stubbled chins and dusty boots. “Guess I should head home,” one drawls. “Why do you want to do that?” asks the other as they settle more comfortably in their seats. Nothing happens in a hurry in Chicken, Alaska. When friends ask us along on a northern driving trip, we jump at the chance. With refrains of “There are strange things done in the midnight sun . . .” in our heads, we plan a week-long circle route from Whitehorse to Dawson City and into Alaska over the Top of the World highway, back into Canada through
Kluane National Park, to Haines and Skagway and back up to Whitehorse. A saunter along the Yukon River in Whitehorse brings us to the SS Klondike. Of the many paddle-wheelers plying the upper Yukon from 1929 to 1936, she was the largest. Passengers had staterooms on the upper deck while provisions destined for Dawson City crammed the lower one. On the return run, she carried ore from the mines. The trip from Whitehorse to Dawson took one-and-halfdays. We could drive the same distance in seven hours, but take our time as summer daylight lasts about 19 hours. By Lake Laberge, I recite Robert Service’s epic The Cremation of Sam McGee. It is hungry work and, at

a roadside cafe, we indulge in a cinnamon bun the size of my head. We enjoy the quiet solitude at a turquoise lake and browse the rustic artifacts around the grounds of the Lodge at Moose Creek. Dawson City fascinates us with its Klondike Gold Rush history. There are no paved streets or concrete sidewalks because the permafrost would cause them to heave. Buildings a century or more old are either decrepit, fixed up just on the front and a ruin otherwise, have sod roofs sprouting grasses
and flowers or are lovingly refurbished. A side trip from Dawson takes us to Tombstone Territorial Park, part-way up the Dempster Highway. The length of this lonely road running through the tundra all the way to Inuvik is akin to driving on a gravel road from Vancouver to Banff. After leaving Dawson City by ferry across the Yukon River, we explore the paddlewheel graveyard. Here, once stately ships slowly disintegrate into matchsticks and rust on the river bank.

Top of the World Highway, we savour the windswept emptiness and the distant view of our highway undulating over dark green mountains. Crossing the border at Poker Creek ushers us into Alaska — and it is a downhill run to Old Chicken. We browse the General Store, the hatfestooned saloon, and learn that only a few of the 50-plus residents of the town stay for the winter. At the utilitarian crossroad town of Tok, we head south on the Alaska Highway, cross back into Canada and skirt the edge of Kluane National Park. Pink wildflowers and burgundy barley grass proliferate along the road and the towering St. Elias Mountains hem brilliant blue Kluane Lake. The Kluane Museum of Natural

History at Burwash Landing, with its excellent dioramas of local wildlife, is a welcome leg stretch. In the traditional First Nations fish camp of Klukshu, we wander past ramshackle cabins and bear proof fish drying enclosures. It must be a hive of activity when the salmon are running. Walking through a virtually empty campground brings us to a boardwalk flanking a narrow canyon with the roaring Million Dollar Falls. Some bear sightings cause much excitement and a flurry of photo snapping. Heading further south, we cross back into Alaska; destination Haines to catch the ferry to Skagway. The cruise along the fiord is a smooth glide past dark, densely forested mountains. It is late when we arrive in Skagway and

its historic main street is deserted. Not so in the morning. Instead of mingling with thousands from the cruise ships in the harbour, we explore the isolated Dyea town site. In Gold Rush times, Dyea’s proximity to the start of the Chilkoot Trail made it a bustling port for Klondike stampeders. Now reclaimed by the forest, there is hardly any evidence of the town. We leave the coastal rainforest behind and climb up to the alpine tundra of the White Pass. The many glacierblue lakes and steep mountains gift us with eye candy at every turn. Our explorations end when we spot the world’s largest weather vane, an actual DC3 aircraft, at the Whitehorse airport. As the old codger in Chicken said, it’s time we head home.

Downtown Kamloops’ Back Alley Art Gallery enhances the alleyways, transforming what was once a forgotten place and destination for some. The newest murals can be found behind All Aboard Games on Lansdowne Street and behind The Art We Are and 4Cats Arts Studio on Victoria Street. Ken Wells is overseeing work, providing creative and technical expertise to Kylene Cachelin, who is working on the mural off of Victoria Street. Alex Moir completed the Lansdowne Street art. The program is a partnership between the business owners, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) and the provincial government’s Job Creation Partnership. Since 2010, the Back Alley Art Gallery has grown to span many downtown back streets. “We’ve got quite a good number of them right now,” said Gay Pooler, KCBIA general manager. “We want to make the alleys part of the livable, walkable downtown. It’s turned into a great little project.” For its ability to brighten forgotten downtown areas, the Back Alley Art Gallery brought home a Best in the West Award for Public and Private Spaces: Clean and Beautiful two years ago. The project won over many other great ideas because of its effort to enhance public spaces often forgotten or ignored and left to be taken over for undesirable activities. The following are just some of the locations where you can find back alley murals: • 165 Victoria St., Maurya’s Fine Indian Cuisine — Artist Ken Wells. • 219 Victoria St., Main Street Clothing — Artist Ken Wells. • 231 Victoria St., Caffe Motivo — Artist Ken Wells. • 241 Victoria St., Big Boot Inn — Artist Janice Gurney.

If these keys could talk From B11 mother to fill in the blanks. She remembers a great number of details about the instrument and, as a retired music teacher from Coquitlam, has taught many family members how to play. The piano was manufactured between 1908 and 1918 in Ontario. The last place it resided before it was given to Bill’s parents was in his father’s family’s home in Maillardville. It was purchased at an auction and had reportedly been played at the PNE, which opened in 1910. Bill’s father’s older brother, Manny, was taught by the nuns at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Maillardville to play the piano in the 1920s. Unfortunately, his father resented piano lessons with the nuns and he never learned to play as well as Manny. The piano livened up many of the Bouthout family’s New Year’s parties, inspiring much dancing and singing. It was also used to fill the home with Christmas carols. Bill’s parents were married in the 1950s and were given the piano after Grandma Bouthot was moved to a nursing facility. They proceeded to send it out to Bill’s older sister, Renee, in Toronto. “It has crossed the country a few times!” Bill said. His mother has fond memories playing it and he took lessons for quite some time. Renee also took lessons for years and realized her passion for music. She eventually received a Bachelor’s Degree in Music and Vocal Performance at UBC, followed by a Master’s Degree at University of Toronto. She went on to become a professionally trained classical singer with the Canadian Opera Company and many other companies. The piano was well-used and loved dearly. Bill’s mother taught his children, Stephan and Emily, basic piano lessons to carry on the legacy. When it was moved back to Toronto, Renee used it to give voice lessons, supplementing her income as a singer. The last resting place for this noble instrument was Bill’s garage in Kamloops. It was meant to be refinished but it never happened. The Bouthouts have generously donated the piano to downtown Kamloops in hopes that it will be enjoyed and cared for by many. The KCBIA invites all to head down to 340 Victoria Street and take a turn tickling the ivories on this gorgeous upright grand.

WORD SCRAMBLE
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
