ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW First-year Thompson Rivers University student Michael Jefferey plans to spend his four-year post-secondary stint living in a yurt he built on the Tk’emlups Indian band reserve.

ost student accommodations in Kamloops don’t come with views like Michael Jeffery’s. From his front steps, the first-year Thompson Rivers University student looks out over a rolling field and a view of the South Thompson River obstructed only by a single, friendly horse named Dancer, who sometimes wanders over to

nibble on the corner of Jeffrey’s deck. Jeffery’s living quarters are even more unusual. Rather than rent an apartment or move into a dorm, he plans to spend the next four years living in a self-built yurt on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. “I did the math and the amount of money I’m going to save while going to school for four years for my degree is a lot,” Jefferey said. “So, financially, it made a lot of sense.” Much of the 444 square-foot yurt was already built before

Jeffrey loaded up his truck in Calgary, en route to Kamloops. In a woodworking shop in Calgary, he built the expanding walls, roof joists and a ring at the top of the roof that will hold a skylight. That left only the yurt’s base to build on-site, which took about a week with some help from family. The round-walled structure was then covered in canvas. Other upgrades — including the skylight and glass doors — are still in the works.

On Sept. 3, 2014 — just days before schools were supposed to be back into session — Premier Christy Clark urged the striking teachers’ union to end its picketing and get back into the classroom. Things are different this year. “It’s absolutely better,” Kamloops-Thompson school district superintendent Karl deBruijn said. “People are filtering back. The principals and vice-principals have been back for a while, the clerical and secretarial staff are back and there’s just a nice buzz, a nice atmosphere. “There’s a feeling of optimism, a different tone today. We’re much better than we were a year ago.” DeBruijn said that even 38 years into his educational career, he’s excited about the coming school year, one that will see new curriculum rolling out. “We’ll be going full tilt on the BCEd plan,” he said of the province’s strategy that brings together redesigned curriculum and graduation requirements to meet the needs of today’s student. DeBruijn said he’s looking forward to getting the new curriculum out for parents to see and understand as it is implemented. That’s part of the rebuilding job educators face, he said, as they work to restore confidence that took a hit during the six months of job action and strike that hit the province last year. DeBruijn is confident the district is up to the task of informing parents, answering questions and working together to meet educational goals. There are, however, still some hurdles.

Smoke from a kitchen set off a fire alarm at the Thompson Rivers University Residence and Conference Centre on Sunday morning — an inconvenience that provided new neighbours and classmates an opportunity to get to know each other. The students were kept out of the building for about 45 minutes while firefighters worked to clear the hallways of smoke. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Gaglardi’s $140K fine will not be increased CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has declined to increase a $140,000 fine levied on the owner of the NHL’s Dallas Stars for destroying fish habitat at Kamloops Lake. Calling the penalty a “pittance” for Tom Galgardi — whose assets include the Stars, Kamloops Blazers and the Sandman hotel chain — the Crown appealed the sentence given by provincial court judge Stephen Harrison in December of last year. It asked the B.C. Supreme Court to more than double the fine, to $300,000. Gaglardi was convicted last fall on two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat. His company, Northland Properties, was found guilty of identical counts, while his father, Robert Gaglardi, was acquitted. Justice Susan Griffin said the provincial court judge did not make an error in his penalty. Gaglardi was also required to pay $85,000

First weeks can be chaotic r u o Plan y legacy TALLYING STUDENT NUMBERS A WAIT-AND-SEE PROPOSITION

The district anticipated about 1,500 kindergarten students this fall, but the last report showed only 860 registered. DeBruijn said total numbers of students is always a wait-and-see proposition.

Every adult who owns assets should have a Will. If you die without a will (which is called dying “intestate”), the law in B.C. determines who is entitled to your estate, and who has priority in administering it. Generally speaking, if a person does not have a will, their estate is divided between spouses and children, or if none living then to extended relatives such as parents or siblings, and beyond. If a person has no living relatives, their estate could go to the Government.

JOIN OUR TEAM! We are seeking smart, savvy, fun people who are passionate about making a difference and contributing to community health!

Without a will, the people and organizations you care about, may not receive the benefits you intended. For example, if you have a dear friend whom you wish to recognize, or you support a charity or non-profit organization and wish to leave a legacy when you pass, you need a proper, valid Will.

Expertise in Marketing, Fundraising and Sponsorship in an asset, but no experience is necessary. Time requirements vary from 2-4 hours per month.

Residents’ driveway accesses may be temporarily restricted to accommodate construction. Transit will be accommodated without re-routing for the duration of the project, however some stops will be closed. Notices will be posted at affected stops.

“Once that’s done, then we can really put the classrooms together,” he said. “It always takes a couple of weeks to do that and it’s a source of frustration for some parents, but we can only work with what we know.” On other fronts, the district recently received new guidelines for applications to the province for new schools. The plan to replace South Kamloops secondary remains a priority for the KamloopsThompson district, deBruijn said. “But, it’s not a ministry [of education] priority right now. We’re still advocating for it.” In the meantime, trustees will hear soon the aging facility needs immediate renovations. “I expect some criticism for that, but we are going to have kids in there and the reality is, after the govern-

gent on improvements at South Kamloops and is not scheduled to begin until start of the 2016-2017 school year. Trustees and administration are also focused on their relationship with the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA). “I’ll be frank here, we are still working on trusting each other,” deBruijn said, noting an adversarial tone between the district and the KTTA developed during last year’s job action. “From the teachers’ perspective, the teachers, the principals and vice-principals and administration have a great relationship and we’re rebuilding so that we can all be on the same team, all there for the students,” deBruijn said. “It’s what we got into this business for — to teach children.”

TRU welcomes students Thompson Rivers University is set today to welcome new students — as well as those returning — with its annual orientation. This year, the event’s theme is Bring Your Thing, a focus designed to celebrate the collective community on a campus that includes students from dozens of countries and with various interests and talents. It’s expected 1,300 new students will gather at 9 a.m. in the Tournament Capital Centre Fieldhouse for a formal welcome and introduction by university president Alan Shaver and the deans of each faculty and school.

A plan is in place to address the closure next spring of Stewart Wood elementary, with those students moving to the McGill Road campus of Beattie School of the Arts. Beattie elementary students will then join the secondary students at Beattie’s campus on Ninth Avenue in the former site of John Peterson secondary adjacent to South Kam. That move is contin-

I DON’T HAVE A FEVER...

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW Four-legged neighbours will be the norm for Michael Jefferey at his unorthodox home during his time in Kamloops attending Thompson Rivers University.

Yurt provides packup-and-go options From A1

Jefferey will shower at the Tournament Capital Centre and, should he opt to catch the bus, he has acquired a kayak to cross the South Thompson River to the nearest stop. To get through the winter, Jeffrey plans to install a type of highefficiency wood-burning stove that conducts heat through a bench, on which he can sit to ward off chills. Jefferey is expecting it to be “quite cozy.” After a few weeks of yurt living, Jeffrey is optimistic about the semester ahead. While the yurt has been a bit noisy so far, he expects the worst of the sound to die down once the rest of the doors and windows are in place. “There’s deer that wander by sometimes, and wild horses that I’ve heard come down sometimes in winter, and an eagle’s nest right

there,” he said. “And, it’s really peaceful. I can hear the highway a little bit, but I feel pretty removed. I’ve seen one person up here the whole time and he was riding by on a horse.” Jeffery estimates the yurt cost him about a year’s rent to set up — not a bad deal if he can get multiple years of living out of the structure. Much of the yurt is portable, which means it isn’t restricted to Kamloops. “When school’s done, I can pack up and go or, if this space doesn’t work, I can pack up and go,” he said. News of the yurt has already spread among Jeffrey’s classmates in the TRU adventure-studies program. He plans to stage a yurt workshop next summer. Jeffrey said he’s excited about sharing his alternative housing research — and temporarily having some next door neighbours who walk on two legs.

KAMLOOPS Get your kids Park vaccinated Sept 27, MacDonald

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school. “By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” Kendall said. “This is all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.” Parents can now sign up for free text message reminders by going online to immunizebc.ca/reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records.

Phone (250) 377-8673

The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District gives notice that it will hold Public Hearings in the TNRD Boardroom, 4th Floor 465 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, to consider proposed Bylaws 2516, 2524 and 2523. What is Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2516, 2015? It is a change to TNRD Zoning Bylaw 2400 to implement composting regulations, including that of bio-solids; to limit the scope of processing; and prohibit the export/sale of the compost (with some exceptions). Specifically, it creates 3 categories of composting: backyard composting, protected as a residential accessory use; agricultural composting, limited to that which can be spread on the given farm land; and commercial composting, permitted in the I-4: Heavy Industrial Zone. If passed, Bylaw 2516 would also: 1. 2.

prohibit export or sales of compost on ALR and non-ALR lands (with some exceptions), regardless of parcel area, whereby the material composted onsite must be applied to the subject farm or ranch; and amend P-3: Civic Works Zone to allow waste management/transfer sites and composting as permitted land uses and then rezone existing facilities (generally TNRD owned/controlled) to this revised P-3 zone.

What is Kamloops South Ofﬁcial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 2524, 2015? It is a housekeeping change to Map 1 of Schedule “A” to indicate an existing waste transfer and management site at 1590 & 1542 Beresford Road (legally described as Lots A & B, Plan KAP11917, Kamloops Division of Yale District, Section 4, Township 19, Range 17, W6M) as shown shaded on the map below. The land has served for waste management over the long term but this use was not noted in the Official Community Plan.

Vandals target signs CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod said vandals are using heavy-duty means to wreak record damage to her campaign sign. “This was large-scale and deliberate,” the incumbent MP told KTW. “They wiped out most of the signs on the South Shore and some on the North Shore.” The damage occurred on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. McLeod said her sign crews reported that a small number of neighbouring Liberal signs were damaged, while NDP signs were untouched. Crews saw evidence of tire treads and chain marks on wooden 4×4 posts — an indicator that a truck hooked up a chain and tore them off their moorings. A report has been made to Kamloops RCMP, she said, urging any witnesses to ongoing damage to call police. McLeod said her volunteers are out replacing the damaged signs, for which there is not yet a dollar estimate. “One 78-year-old lady was so upset she phoned and volunteered to help put them back up,” she said. Earlier in the campaign, McLeod’s signs were targeted by a vandal who added the word “Corrupt” to the placards, using the Conservative party’s stylized “C” in its logo.

What is Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2523, 2015? It amends Zoning Bylaw No. 2400, RL-1: Rural Zone, by adding a site specific provision for 2540 Cariboo Highway # 97 (legally described as District Lot 1071, Kamloops Division Yale District & That Part of District Lot 102, Group 2 shown on Plan B3407, Kamloops Division Yale (formerly Yale-Lytton) District), north of Cache Creek, as shown shaded on the map below. Bylaw 2523 would allow tourist commercial uses limited to bakery, restaurant, picnic area and minor retail, all in conjunction with agricultural use on the land and the listed uses permitted in the RL-1 Zone.

summer has been 23.3 C, slightly above the norm of 20.9 C. That’s in line with the rest of the province. “Generally, the whole summer, and this is all across B.C., has been about two degrees, give or take, above normal,” she said. Rainfall has been less consistent across the province, with the driest weather reserved for the Lower Mainland. In Kamloops, however, precipitation levels have not been much

different from the norm. While the summer rainfall average in the Tournament Capital is 23.7 millimetres, Kamloops has received 21.1 mm. Coldwells said it’s the previous winter — not an unusually dry summer — to blame for the Level 4 drought designation in place in the region. “We had less precipitation and that precipitation was warmer, so that precipitation fell as rain, which runs off and you can store it in

revisions, but it doesn’t store itself in the snowpack up on the mountain,” she said. Without that slowly melting snowpack to replenish waterways in warmer months, the region is one of several in the province with the highest-possible drought designation as summer nears an end. While much of the major record breaking temperatures came in June and early July, Coldwells said there were a pair of recordsetting days in August. On Aug. 12, the tem-

perature in Kamloops hit 37.2 C, up from 37.1 C in 1975. A day later, a second record fell as the mercury hit 37.4 C, up from 36.7 in 1955.

From Coast to Valemount, mussels beached Conservation officers ordered 26 boats off the ramp this season for potential contamination by invasive mussels. The Ministry of Environment said conservation officers inspected 3.200 boats since May in an area stretching from the Lower Mainland to Valemount, including Kamloops. Inspection officers found 26

boats potentially contaminated with zebra or quagga mussels and ordered decontamination measures. In four instances, boats were given a 30-day quarantine, the first time such orders have been given. The province’s invasive mussel defence program started this year and includes six

mobile decontamination units. Watercraft, including kayaks and canoes, must report to inspection stations. Under a co-operative effort with neighbouring U.S. states and the Canadian Border Services Agency, inspection programs notify each other of watercraft travelling from mussel-infested waters.

WE ONCE HAD COMMON SENSE

dvances in technology can put lawmakers in serious catch-up mode, such as the case with drones. Some cities have developed bylaws regarding drones. And Transport Canada will presumably provide small municipalities who can’t develop meaningful legislation on this issue with some teeth when it comes out with new regulations on unmanned aircraft next year. Another advance in technology — the proliferation of cellphones — has proven deadly in B.C., where one-quarter of traffic fatalities can be attributed to distracted driving. Ten years ago, distracted driving meant eating or turning around to help a child in the back seat. Legislation is in place, and enforcement campaigns frequent, in regards to distracted driving in B.C. Before drones, before cell phones, before electricity, there was something called common sense. Most would know it’s not OK to buzz a drone over a group of people doing yoga. The same for texting while driving. Such is the state of our world that laws must be put in place because many humans have lost any tenuous grip they once had on common sense. It seems the speed of technological advances in our society is only matched by the backwards slide in our ability to use our brains.

Sliding into helplessness

f all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me. It wasn’t the people who flooded 91 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social-media moment. With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There, he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs. Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night and it’s safe to assume all stores were working flat out to restock perishables. Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others? Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones

VICTORIA and find out instantly when their power would be back on. Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about meter signals. The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it. In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out in response to the constant screeching for instant answers. About 15 years ago, I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with

little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold. Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised. Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage. Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements. In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world. This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account or do you need the government to do it for you, by force? Are you capable of managing your own child care or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast? Are you ready for the day the machine stops? tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LET’S BUILD THE PERFORMING-ARTS CENTRE Editor: There is an exodus every weekend of theatre lovers who travel to Kelowna, Vancouver and Prince George to enjoy theatre and music in first-rate venues. A performing-arts centre in Kamloops would go a long way in keeping these people home on weekends, where there money would be spent locally. I believe most Kamloopsians would like to see the city grow into a vibrant community that enhances the quality of life for everyone and advances our identity as a great place to live. A performing-arts centre in Kamloops will attract visitors, promote business and bring in tourist dollars.

NO PLANS TO CUT RETIREMENT INCOME SPLITTING Editor: Re: Lloyd Williams’ letter of Sept. 1 (‘NDP loss is Conservative gain for this voter’): Williams brought up an election issue that has been causing some confusion regarding income-splitting programs in Canada.

If Thomas Mulcair and the NDP form the next government of Canada, they would not eliminate the retirement incomesplitting program now in place for retirees. Repeat: Thomas Mulcair and the NDP would not eliminate the retirement income-splitting pro-

gram now in place for retirees in Canada. The income splitting that would be eliminated is the parental income-splitting program that was recently introduced and passed into law by the Conservative government. Rest assured pensioners, your

income splitting is not a target for elimination by any of the major parties in Canada. Brian Carroll Kamloops Editor’s note: Brian Carroll was the local NDP candidate in the 2004 federal election.

THANKFULLY, THERE ARE ANGELS IN KAMLOOPS Editor: On Thursday, Sept. 3, I fell off my scooter while trying to retrieve something I had dropped on the ground beside. I am 75 years old, have multiple sclerosis and am unable to walk. While lying on the ground after many futile attempts to right myself, a woman, walking on the same pathway, saw my situ-

ation, asked if I was injured and identified herself as a nurse. I explained my condition to her and said I was hoping another man would come by to help me up. The nurse, Natalie, who works in ambulatory care at Royal Inland Hospital, thankfully came to my assistance herself by helping me back onto my scooter.

Returning salmon still face BACK-TO-SCHOOL $ record-low water levels

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While water temperatures have declined in Southern Interior Interior rivers, returning salmon still face record-low stream levels. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ latest sockeye report shows stream and river temperatures well below the danger levels of 19C or 20C seen earlier this year. But, continuing drought poses a hazard for returning sockeye, regional manager Stu Cartwright said. “The concern we’ve got for migrating salmon — though temperatures have improved a lot — is low stream levels,” he said. In small tributaries such as Louis Creek, a tributary of the North Thompson, Cartwright said fish don’t have enough volume to enter. The province has made drought declarations throughout the Southern Interior, encouraging water users to reduce their use in order to conserve water for salmon. When sockeye cannot enter streams due to low levels, they will wait at mouths, becoming more vulnerable to predators and disease. Cartwright said recent light rains have helped only slightly. The low numbers will make worse a large decline in salmon expected to return this year. The Pacific Salmon Commission now estimates about 2.4-million sockeye will return to the Fraser system this year, down 60 per cent from a pre-season estimate. The Adams River run estimate is down to about 300,000 fish from the early estimate of 1.2 million.

The Parole Board of Canada has placed special conditions on release of offender Brandon Schell, who shot a visitor to a downtown Kamloops crack shack in what the Crown alleged was an attempted extortion. Schell, whose street name was “Cheddar”, was active in the city’s drug trade in 2011. A B.C. Supreme Court judge ordered him jailed for six years on convictions for aggravated assault and firing a prohibited weapon. That sentence was later reduced to 32 months after appeal, based on time served awaiting trial. In its report, the board noted that while in jail, Schell was involved in fights and disrespectful to staff. He was transferred to a maximum-security prison for a period after being caught trying to import drugs. Offenders who receive federal sentences typically receive supervised or day parole after serving one-third of their sentence. But, Schell is on a statutory release after serving two-thirds of his sentence, something required by law unless correctional officials determine an offender is at serious risk of doing public harm. Schell will be released but under seven special conditions including that he follow a treatment

plan, avoid drugs and alcohol, avoid associating with those involved in crime and actively searches for work. If he breaches any of them, he could land back in jail to serve the remainder of his sentence. “You have a limited employment history and few employable skills and the index offence was associated to your involvement in the drug trade, in which you became involved to make money,” the board wrote. Schell wrote a letter in July saying he has changed his life and is committed to his family and teaching his daughter respect and good morals. His release plan involves living in the Fraser Valley. Schell is considered an aboriginal offender, but was only recently exposed to the culture. He suffered abuse and neglect as a child, according to sentencing reports. In the shooting in November 2011, Schell and another man visited a Seymour Street crack shack, where the prosecution alleged they threatened users if they did not purchase drugs from them. When a visitor, Arthur Burley, stood up to challenge the pair, Schell shot him through the shoulder. Schell was found not guilty at two later trials, one for break and enter and another for break and enter and uttering threats. He was convicted of assault causing bodily harm in 2010.

FALCONER FLIES TO GOLD KAMLOOPS ATHLETE SETS CANADIAN RECORD AT 55-PLUS BC GAMES ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Bill Falconer takes to the start line for the 100-metre dash, Tanya Little has been known to get a little emotional. Not every daughter gets to see her dad setting Canadian records at 95 years of age. “It’s very inspirational,” Little told KTW. “When you watch him do the 100 metres, for a lot of people, including myself, it’s hard not to cry because it’s just so cool.” Most recently, Falconer was in North Vancouver, one of 3,300 athletes competing in the 55-plus BC Games. He returned to the Tournament Capital with a few more medals for his trophy case — all golds — and a Canadian record. His one minute, 18 seconds times set a new standard in the 100m dash for 95-plus athletes. “I just love it,” Falconer told KTW, adding he’ll be running as long as he can walk. “I’m not as fast as I was, but

I can get to the other end.” Falconer also won the discus with a throw of 6.10m and the shotput with a distance of 2.09m. As if Falconer’s athleticism at 95 isn’t remarkable enough, he is also living with stomach cancer — and has been for years. The disease hasn’t slowed him down, though, on the track or in life. “He has had it for about three years and they told him three years ago he would be dead in six months,” Little said. “He still eats more than I do. You wouldn’t even know he is ill with that illness.” Falconer took particular pride in finishing ahead some of the “young ones” at the Games, mores specifically the athletes in their early 90s. Even as he has aged, the competitive fire hasn’t left him. A native of Aberdeen, Scotland, Falconer was quite the athlete in his youth, a talented gymnast who may have had a shot at the Olympic Summer Games. The Second World War derailed those plans. The 1940 Olympics were cancelled and the Games didn’t return until

1948. By that time, Falconer, who was a member of the Royal Air Force and flew Hurricane fighter jets, had missed his opportunity. “I’ll never know how good I was,” he said. “There’s no way I’ll ever know. I don’t think I was that good, but it’s possible.” Track and field is a relatively new endeavour for Falconer, though he did compete in some events in his youth in what he calls the old country, too. He picked up the activity again in his old age, at the behest of his daughter, and credits sports, at least in part, for his good health. “I just encourage people to do it because I never would have gotten to the age I am now if I hadn’t been [competing],” he said. Track and field has been a family endeavour since Falconer took it up. He had the good fortune to see himself, his daughter and her husband Norm all atop their shotput and weight throw divisions when the Canadian Indoor Masters Athletic Championships came to Kamloops in 2011.

The Kamloops Blazers opened their WHL preseason schedule with a win and a loss over the weekend. At Sandman Centre on Friday, the host blue-and-orange dressed a veteran lineup against a much younger Prince George squad, and it showed on the scoresheet. By the nine-minute mark of the first period, the Blazers were up 3-0 thanks to goals by Patrik Maier, Collin Shirley and Deven Sideroff . Cameron Reagan and Matt Needham added goals in the second period to lift the home team to a 6-3 win in front of 1,219 fans.

TRU women open soccer season with Manitoba split The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team opened its CIS season on the road over the weekend, splitting a pair of games with Manitoba rivals. On Friday, the Pack dropped a 4-0 decision to the host University of Manitoba Bisons in Winnipeg. The game started even but TRU couldn’t fight back after Manitoba took a 2-0 lead late in the first half, said WolfPack head coach Tom McManus. “We looked very good in the first 25 minutes,” he said. “After they notched their second in the 43rd minute, we were a bit down. “I thought the girls came out in the second half but, again, we fell short. “We could easily have won

this match in the first 30 minutes.” The game was played at the University of Manitoba’s indoor soccer complex. It was moved inside due to rain — a factor McManus said played against his squad. “Manitoba was playing the long ball into corners and was used to crossing the ball,” he said. “It took us a bit of time to adjust.” On Saturday, the Pack earned its first win of 2015 with a 3-1 victory over the University of Winnipeg Wesmen. “It was a much better effort this afternoon,” McManus said after the win. “We got everyone into the game, as well, which is a good sign.”

Fifth-year forward Jaydene Radu opened the scoring for TRU in the sixth minute with her first of two goals in the game. Also scoring for the Pack was second-year midfielder and Valleyview secondary product Kindra Maricle. Taylor Shantz and Shalayna Isakson, both Kamloops products, split time in net. Next weekend, the Pack will head back out on the road for games against the University of Alberta and the University of Northern B.C. TRU’s first home game isn’t slated to take place until Sept. 26, when the University of Victoria Vikes will visit Hillside Stadium. — files from TRU Sports Information

Falconer oldest athlete competing at Games From A13

Little travels with her father to events around the region and said it’s rare to see athletes still running at her dad’s age. Most competitors stick to the throws events once they pass their 90th birthdays. In fact, Falconer was the only athlete in his 100m dash age group at the 55-plus BC Games and organizers believe be was the oldest athlete in competition.

So, it’s understandable why Little get’s a little emotional once the starting gun goes off. “It makes such a difference. He’s not in the hospital very much at all, because he’s committed to activity every day,” she said. “He has had such a good life and his diet isn’t very good — his food groups are fat, sugar and salt. “But, because he’s active every day, he has had just a very healthy life.”

Water Conservation Tips from the 2015 ECOSmart Team

With the level 4 drought rating in our community, the City of Kamloops will be reducing water use by 30% in our parks. We encourage all residents to decrease their water usage as well. Level 4 means conditions are extremely dry and that water supply is insufficient to meet socio-economic and ecosystem needs. Water levels in streams, rivers and lakes are at record lows and are having a negative impact on fish and ecosystems. Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Here are a few tips to increase your water conservation efforts: • Reduce how long you irrigate your lawn by 30% - For example, if you normally water for 60 minutes, only water for 40 minutes • Irrigate during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation - early morning hours are best • Leave your grass 2-3 inches tall • Leave grass clippings on your lawn to retain moisture • Don’t use your toilet as a garbage can • Take showers in 5 minutes or less

Jays poised to snap longest playoff drought in baseball THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Here’s a trivia question: If the Toronto Blue Jays make the postseason for the first time since 1993, who will have baseball’s longest playoff drought? That would be the Seattle Mariners, who haven’t made it since winning a record-tying 116 games in 2001. These are exciting times for franchises that haven’t had much recent success. Kansas City, of course, won the American League pennant last year after going nearly three decades without a playoff appearance, and there are several teams trying to snap shorter-but-stillsignificant dry spells

in 2015. The Blue Jays lead the AL East, and Houston leads the AL West. The Astros haven’t made the post-season since 2005. Miami (2003) owns the longest NL drought, and the Marlins are 23 games under .500. But, the New York Mets (2006) lead the NL East and the Chicago Cubs (2008) are in good position for a wild card. With the expanded post-season, it will probably become increasingly rare for a team to go more than a decade without appearing in the playoffs, so perhaps the Marlins, San Diego Padres (2006) and Chicago White Sox (2008) will be back before too long.

OTTAWA — Former Olympian Clara Hughes has revealed a previously undisclosed antidoping rule violation from 1994. Hughes wrote in her newly released biography that she tested positive for the banned substance ephedrine in 1994 and that she was notified of the test result by Cycling Canada’s then-national team director.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  GORDON EDWARD LEVINS Gordon Edward Levins, aged 88, passed away in Penticton Hospital on August 31, 2015. He had been fighting the good fight against colon cancer but unfortunately, the cancer finally won. Born November 10, 1926 Gordon lived a full and happy life. Gordon lived in a variety of places over his life including Quesnel, Kelowna, Calgary, Ladysmith, Mount Lolo army radar base, Kamloops, Vernon, Chase, Vernon and finally Summerland. Gordon also had several careers throughout his life. Some of which were driving cement truck, construction, raising chickens, working in a potato chip plant, working for BC Ferries and finally working as a commissionaire and cook for the Canadian Armed Forces. Gordon also served his country after WWII in Germany where he met and married his first wife, Aleda Stoffers. Gordon met his second wife, Catherine Mary Blackwood (nee Corner) and they lived happily together for over 40 years. After they both retired when Mount Lolo closed down, they spent their time travelling and visiting friends and family. They did the big trek one year across Canada and travelled to several ‘corner cousin’ reunions. Gordon also loved his garden and grew and preserved various things. They loved camping and fishing but Gordon’s favorite pastime was hunting with the boys up at Pink Mountain. Gordon was always happiest when he was around family and whether you knew him as Poppa, uncle, brother, or just Gordon, he was loved by all. After Cathy’s passing, Gordon spent his last years with his good friend Jean Richards. Jean and her family made Gordon’s last days comfortable and cheerful. Gordon is survived by his two sisters Dolly (Vern) and Kay (Glen), his stepsons Dan (Pat) and Bill (Barbara), his stepdaughter-in-law Kathy, many grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

WILLIAM JOHN (BILL) WALKER July 3, 1919 - September 5, 2015 On September 5, 2015, after 96 well lived years, Bill Walker was reunited with Mae, his wife of 70 years to be Forever Together, after just short of 4 years apart. Bill was born July 3, 1919, in Coleman, Alberta, to Thomas & Elizabeth Walker, moving to Lethbridge when he was two years old. He met the love of his life Mae at a dance in Lethbridge when he was 14 and she was 16. During the depression Bill rode the rails, working various jobs in Alberta and BC and also to visit his uncle Walter and his grandmother in New Westminster. He has fond memories of one rail stop on a then typical HOT Kamloops summer day in 1939, when he and a fellow rail rider swam at Riverside Park alternating use of the one pair of swim shorts they had between them. They then worked for a free meal at a bakery on Victoria Street. Bill settled in the Marpole area of Vancouver where Mae joined him to get married on February 4, 1942. During the war years, Bill & Mae both worked for Boeing. Bill also worked as a short order cook with Nat Bailey’s wife in the first White Spot and as the Singer sewing machine repairman. In 1965 Bill got a starter job in the boiler room at Scott Paper, working his way up in the maintenance department. Convincing management things could run more efficiently, self taught through night school and correspondence, inventive Bill ended up modernizing Scott Paper/Kruger Products, using mechanical instrumentation. The Instrumentation Department as he set it up still exists today. Bill & Mae started a family, with Beverly born in 1949 and Marilyn born in 1951. They moved to Coquitlam in 1957 and settled in New Westminster in 1964. They got actively involved in Ballroom Dancing, winning numerous medals. When Bill retired in 1984 they took up cruising as a serious sport, travelling around the world including numerous Alaskan cruises. Bill enjoyed bicycling and volunteered with senior games events, strata and his church. Mae passed away September 11, 2011, just before their 70th wedding anniversary. After Mae passed away, Bill moved to Chartwell Renaissance in Kamloops. With Bill’s gregarious smile he made friends easily including at the North Shore McDonalds, where he continued his afternoon coffee tradition, started at McBarge during Expo 86. He also made many friends through his involvement with Knights of Columbus & St John Vianney Parish. He made trips to his former home in Lethbridge and all points in Alberta in 2012 and Scott Paper, Victoria & Vancouver Island in 2013 with Marilyn & Casey. Needing more care, Bill moved to The Hamlets at Westsyde this spring. Now well into his 90’s, Bill, the blue eyed charmer, managed to find romance and companionship with the likes of Deborah, Rolande, Toni, Brenda and other ladies too numerous to mention. His charm, smile, quick wit and sense of humor never left him, even in the last 2 weeks. The family thanks all the staff including care aides, nurses, housekeeping and recreation aides who took great care of Bill at both Chartwell and The Hamlets. Bill was predeceased by Mae and all her immediate siblings, his parents Thomas and Elizabeth, and his sisters, Ethel, Margaret and Gladys, his brother David, their spouses as well as sister in law Joyce. Bill will be sadly missed by daughters Beverly Walker and Marilyn VanDongen (Casey), grandchildren - Diane (Ricardo), Ken, Pamela, Neil, Sheila (Shaun) Natalie(Uwe) plus Angie & Steven; great grandchildren - Adrian, Oluna, Angelina, Xavier, Aysha, Jasmine, Taylor Mae and Walter; brother Dennis and brother in law Ralph Morigeau, both in Red Deer; as well as many relatives in BC and Alberta particularly in Kamloops and New Westminster. Mass and Celebration of Life reception will be held for Bill’s Kamloops friends at St. John Vianney Church 2826 Bank Rd on Wednesday evening, September 09, 2015 at 7:00 PM, Monsignor Jerry Desmond, officiating. Mass of the Christian Burial will be held September 14, 2015 at 10 AM, at St. Peter’s Church, Royal Avenue, New Westminster. Fr Martin Moser OMI officiating. Interment at Valleyview Memorial Gardens 72nd Avenue, Surrey, BC with lunch to follow. Valleyview Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to Covenant House www.covenanthousebc.org

Prayer For Peace Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Europe’s Refugee Crisis: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

efugees from the wars of the Middle East are pouring into the European Union at an unprecedented rate. So are economic migrants from Africa and non-EU countries in the Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, etc.) — and some of them claim to be refugees, too. They are coming at the rate of about 3,000 a day, mostly through Turkey into Greece or across the Mediterranean to Italy, and the EU doesn’t know what to do about it. It’s not really that big a refugee crisis: one million people at most this year, or one-fifth of one per cent of the European Union’s 500-million people. Little Lebanon (population 4.5 million) has already taken in a million refugees, as has Jordan (population 6.5 million). But, while a few of the EU’s 28 countries are behaving well, many more have descended into a gibbering panic about being overrun. It really is a case of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly — and the best of the Good is Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel put it bluntly: “If Europe fails on the question of refugees . . . it will not be the Europe we imagined.” She has put her money where her mouth is: Two weeks ago, she predicted Germany would accept asylum claims from 800,000 refugees this year. Merkel also said Germany is suspending the “Dublin regulation,” an internal EU rule that states refugees must seek asylum in the first EU country they reach. This is manifestly unfair to Greece and Italy, so Berlin will now allow all Syrian refugees to apply for asylum in Germany regardless of where they entered the EU. Moreover, it will regard Syrian citizenship as adequate evidence that people are genuine refugees. France, Italy and the Netherlands have also been fairly generous about granting refugees asylum, and quiet, gallant Sweden is accepting more refugees per capita than any other country in the EU. But the good

World

WATCH news stops here. Most other EU countries are refusing to take a fair share of the refugees — or even any at all. Let us define the Bad as those governments that really know they should be doing more, but are shirking their responsibility for domestic political reasons. The most prominent are the United Kingdom and Spain, which played a key role in sabotaging an EU meeting in June that was trying to agree on a formula for sharing the refugee burden fairly among EU members. Prime Minister David Cameron’s problem is that overall immigration into Britain is high (330,000 last year), which has infuriated the right-wing media. In fact, more than half the newcomers were citizens of other EU countries (who have the right to cross borders in search of jobs) and only 25,000 were refugees — but such fine distinctions have little place in the public debate. And in Spain, there’s an election coming up. Then there are the Ugly: the countries that simply don’t want to take in refugees because they are different from the local people. Like Slovakia, which said that it might take a fewhundred refugees, but only Christians, or Hungary and the Czech Republic, which are both talking about deploying armed forces on their borders to keep refugees out. All these countries lived under Soviet rule for two generations, which was almost like living in a cave. They have almost no experience of immigration and it’s commonplace to hear people make racist or antiSemitic remarks without the slightest sense of shame. In a way, they are still living in

Quebec asks Ottawa to help province take in additional 2,450 Syrian refugees JULIEN ARSENAULT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The Quebec government announced a series of measures to take in more Syrian refugees Monday, while acknowledging it needs a green light from the federal government before they can go ahead. As a result of the Syrian refugee crisis, the province announced it was ready to take in 3,650 refugees before the end of 2015 — 2,450 more than originally planned. “To be able do that we need the collaboration of the federal government,’’ said Kathleen Weil, Quebec’s immigration minister, in a press conference. Accompanied by International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre, Weil explained that since the federal government is in charge of border security and refugee policy, it would have to approve Quebec’s plan to bring in refugees on an accelerated timeline. Quebec’s new target would include 1,800 privately sponsored refugees and 650 state-sponsored. Since the beginning of 2015, 651 refugees have arrived in Quebec from Syria. The measures announced by the Quebec government would cost $29 million, the bulk of which would go towards language training, job aid, education and health care. The announcement came days after the shocking photo of a drowned three-year-old Syrian boy with family connections to Canada caused a global outcry and thrust the refugee crisis to the top of inter-

the 1950s. It’s not an excuse, but it is an explanation. So, how, in these circumstances, is the European Union to agree on a common policy for sharing the burden of caring for the refugees? “We must push through uniform European asylum policies,” Merkel said. However, the EU operates on a consensus basis and there is little chance that that will be accepted. In practice, therefore, the burden will continue to be

national headlines. Last week, both Quebec City and Montreal indicated their willingness to take in more refugees. Weil told reporters the federal government had been informed of Quebec’s intentions and said she was hoping to hear back quickly. “We’re going forward to the federal government with our hand out saying ‘we can help, we want to help, this is our objective and we need you to collaborate with us,’’’ she said. The federal Department of

borne by the willing. In an attempt to lessen the burden, the German chancellor has proposed a list of “safe” countries (like the Balkan ones, which account for 40 per cent of asylum claims in Germany), where it may be presumed that most claimants are really economic migrants. Arrivals from “unsafe” countries like Syria, Libya and Afghanistan, where real wars are underway, would be treated as genuine refugees. But, even then, each

Citizenship and Immigration was not immediately available for comment. Weil said she would like to see Ottawa allow Quebec’s Immigration Department to send personnel to Beirut, Lebanon, in order to accelerate the refugee selection process. St-Pierre also announced an additional $100,000 in funding for Quebec international aid organizations helping overseas, as well as a plan to create a crisis unit to liaise between government ministers and aid organizations.

case must be investigated individually. “Germany is a strong country and the motto must be: ‘We’ve managed so much. We can manage this’,” Merkel said. No doubt she can get through this year without changing course. But, there is every reason to believe that there will be another million people risking everything to make it across the EU’s borders next year and probably for many years thereafter.

It may even get worse. In the long run, it is almost certain to get worse, even if the current wars in the Middle East all miraculously end. Coming up behind the current crisis is the inexorable advance of climate change, which will hit the Middle East and Africa very hard indeed. Nobody has the slightest idea how many refugees that will generate, but it is likely to be many times the current flow.

Tories drop two candidates as campaign hits milestone ELECTION2015

OTTAWA — The Conservatives stumbled as the federal election reached an unofficial milestone yesterday, dropping two candidates from their slate in the important battleground of the Greater Toronto Area after embarrassing videos surfaced in the mainstream media and online. Jerry Bance, who was running in Scarborough Rouge Park, was the first to go after reportedly being caught on camera urinating into a coffee cup while he was an appliance repairman. The day got worse as Tim Dutaud, the candidate in Toronto-Danforth, was declared persona non grata by the federal party a short time later. A Conservative official confirmed a man seen making prank calls in several YouTube videos — including one where he pretends to have a mental disability — is Dutaud. The revelation came just before Prime Minister Stephen Harper said re-elected Conservatives would improve a federal disability grant program, one championed by Jim Flaherty, the late finance minister. During a campaign stop in Mississauga, Ont., Harper tersely attempted to put the best spin on the losses when asked what the incidents said about the quality of candidates he was attracting. “What this says is that we keep the highest standard for candidates and these two

individuals are no longer candidates,’’ said Harper, who later in the five-question availability indicated that the Conservatives would find replacements for both JERRY BANCE ridings. Bance, who runs an appliance repair company, was bounced from the Conservative slate after the CBC reported its hidden cameras on the show Marketplace caught him urinating into a cup while he was on a service call in 2012. Video from the program shows Bance pouring the urine down the sink, then rinsing out the cup, all while the homeowner was in the next room. A statement from Bance released by the Conservative campaign Sunday night said he “deeply regrets’’ his actions on the day he was caught on the hidden cameras. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair cracked a joke in response, saying Bance must be in favour of Harper’s “trickle down’’ economics. The developments all came as the election campaign shifts into a higher gear. For political junkies and pundits, Labour Day is supposed to be the demarcation line between the sleepy summer campaign that began on Aug. 2 and the serious push to get the attention of voters ahead of the

Oct. 19 election. It is also the beginning, in earnest, of the labour movement’s effort to unseat the Conservatives by bidding members to vote strategically in key battleground ridings. Union leadership at Unifor, in Ontario, urged its rank and file to help elect NDP candidates. The Quebec Federation of Labour, meanwhile, said it plans to help any candidate that can defeat Conservatives in that province. Mulcair burnished his party’s union support by taking part in Toronto’s Labour Day parade, the largest in the country. “Mr. Harper has led a series of unprecedented attacks on labour in this country,’’ Mulcair said. “We have a different approach. We know by working together, we can achieve great things.’’ Justin Trudeau, also campaigning in Mississauga yesterday, was asked if labour’s stampede to get rid of the Conservatives would trample over Liberals and go right to the NDP. He dismissed the notion, saying he’s met with labour organizations across the country and looks forward to them voting Liberal.

Tabletop war games, such as the one Travis Christenson is playing in this KTW file photo, will be the focus of the Attack-X Expo, which returns to Thompson Rivers University’s Grand Hall this weekend — Friday through Sunday.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

For Nick Klie, Attack-X is about more than the games. Sure, it’s about game pieces and war-like strategy that comes with simulating battle — think more advanced versions of chess — and, of course, the competition of it all. But, it’s also about the social aspect, the hobby and, for Klie, the art. “I love the painting and the collecting of the models,” the representative of the three-day tabletop gaming expo told KTW. Attack-X returns to Kamloops this coming weekend for the third consecutive year. Various tournaments for games like Warmachine and Warhammer will take over Thompson Rivers University’s Grand Hall through Sunday. Klie said the event continues to build momentum. It had more than 100 registered players take part last year. “This year, it looks like we’re going to break that,” Klie said. The Warmachine tournament, for example, already has more than 70 registered players. “That’ll make it the second largest Warmachine event in all of Canada,” Klie said, noting the other is in Toronto. Kylie touted event organizer Nathan Bosa for travelling to gaming events and encouraging visitors to the Tournament Capital. While the event attracts between 40 to 50 people from the local gaming community, Klie said the majority of attendees travel to Kamloops largely from B.C. and Alberta.

“Apparently. there’s guys coming from Australia this year,” he said. This year’s event has some new additions, as well. Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures has been added to the list of games. “That’s the big new event this year,” Klie said. “You’re basically playing all the space battles. All those cool ships you see in the movies, ones that are in video games.” A competitive tournament for that game will be held on Saturday, followed by casual play on Sunday. Also new this year, Attack-X has received a qualifier spot for the Warhammer Fantasy U.S. Nationals. “The people who win will be invited to a larger, more worldwide tournament,” Klie said. Ticket prices for the event are as follows: • Major gamers pay $60, which allows entry into one major tournament — including Warmachine/Hordes, Flames of War, Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K — and any nonmajor and evening games. Must attend both Saturday and Sunday. Eligible for all prizes. • Mini-gamers pay $25, which allows play of any non-major game. Eligible to win door prizes. • General admission (non-gamers) are free, with registration unnecessary. Not eligible for door prizes. Klie encourages those who may not be familiar with tabletop gaming to stop by this weekend, check it out and learn a thing or two. “It really is an impressive event,” he said.

Kylene Cachelin isn’t a fan of heights, but that hasn’t stopped her from spending much of the past three weeks atop a three-storey scaffold in a back alley downtown. “I spend a lot of time standing down here dreading going up there and working myself up to it all day,” the Kamloops artist admitted with a laugh, while taking a break on Friday from painting the downtown’s newest mural. “It seems like not much from down here but, when you’re standing up there and it’s wiggly — it psyches me out.” Cachelin, whose work also decorates the Powderkeg building on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops, is the latest artist to put her stamp downtown through the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s (KCBIA) Back Alley Art Gallery program. Her mural features a pink-haired painter relaxing on the back wall of the Art We Are and 4Cats Art Studio, surrounded by her paint pots. “We wanted something that represents the arts scene,” she said. “We’d come up with a lot of different types of people, and the one that stuck was this one.” Using provincial job-creation money — $19,200 this year — and contributions from businesses, the KCBIA has added murals to the back streets of the city’s core nearly every year during the past six years.

KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said the provincial money allows businesses to stretch their dollars much further than they could normally afford. “They get a mural for what it would cost to paint the building,” she said. Her organization also hopes the murals will lure art appreciators downtown and turn Kamloops’ back alleys into public spaces rather than hiding spots for illicit activity. Cachelin and her two assistants have been painting steadily for several weeks under the eye of Ken Wells, whose scenic murals grace the back of a number of other downtown businesses. “It’s a beautiful piece,” said Wells, who acts as an advisor on mural projects. “She’s got a great feel, a real feel for three-dimensional art.” While she hasn’t loved the heights, Cachelin said she’s enjoyed working in one of the downtown’s hidden corridors. “There’s a whole lot of traffic back here, more than I thought, and everyone’s been so nice,” she said. “I’ve got some regular viewers who always talk to me.” This is the second of three murals going up this year. The first, by Alex Moir-Porteus, was finished in August. Work on the final mural of the year, on the Service Canada building on Seymour Street, will begin during the week of Sept. 15. Pooler said a concept for the project is still in the works.

New Tucson ﬁts active lifestyle – at any age ROB ROTHWELL

DRIVEWAY CANADA

drivewaycanada.ca

yundai’s new compact Tucson crossover is aimed squarely at prefamily buyers living active lifestyles. But, I’ve got a tip for those drifting into a greyer reality — it’s an ideal vehicle for you, too. Everything that matches the 2016 Tucson to an active lifestyle applies just as meaningfully to empty nesters and retirees, whether their activity includes walking the pooch or sailing above the surf on a kiteboard. While Hyundai’s advertisements for the Tucson feature square-jawed athletic dudes with defined stubble and bronze skin, it doesn’t mean they don’t intend to sell the snappy crossover to folks like me, on the dark side of 50. For marketing purposes, my likeness won’t favour sales. You see, I’m told by those in the biz that you can sell a young man’s car to an old man but not the other way around, this applying equally to women. While my future as a sales prop is only slightly more certain than winning Lotto Max without buying a ticket, I enjoyed my day behind the wheel of the new Tucson. The meandering route allowed my driving partner and me to explore the many bays and coves along British Columbia’s idyllic Sunshine Coast. It’s in this sort of environment the 2016 Tucson will have older buyers admiring its exceptional level of operational refinement and day-long serenity. It delivers a near-premium driving experience, though not a particularly exciting one. A smooth, absorbent ride was clearly more the priority than searing performance in the corners and on the straightaways — and that’s fine by me. In redesigning the Tucson, Hyundai engineers focused on all aspects of qual-

ity in addition to refinement and styling, the latter of which has given us a vehicle longer, lower and wider than its predecessor. Aboard the Tucson, one is immersed in a well thought-out cabin transmitting a sense of deportment sadly lacking in the former execution. Today’s version is as accurately assembled as the best of them in the fiercely competitive compact-crossover segment. While Hyundai’s soft-touch surfaces and intuitive architecture are praiseworthy, it’s the larger slice of ‘content’ pie which it serves that sets the Tucson apart from its contemporaries under competing nameplates. “More for less” has always been a Hyundai hallmark and the Tucson adheres to the credo with its outstanding list of standard and near-standard features, including safety tech such as blindspot detection with cross-traffic alert,

lane-departure warning and autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Thoughtful touches include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-level cargo floor and a remarkably convenient proximity power liftgate, the latter opening by merely sensing the key in proximity of the liftgate for three seconds. No longer can the Tucson be considered an entry-level crossover, despite its modest across-the-board increase of roughly $400. The upscale climb includes the availability of an optional 1.6L turbocharged I-4 GDI engine harnessed to a segmentexclusive seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The turbocharged mill fortifies the AWD Tucson with 175 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque and is the obvious choice for passing-lane adherents.

YOUR CHOICE SALE! PURCHASE ANY NEW OR USED RV AND RECEIVE YOUR CHOICE OF: CAMPING PACKAGE OR TWO 6V BATTERIES OR EQ HITCH! (Excluding Viking models While quantities last. See in-store for details.)

The base 2.0L I-4 GDI (required with FWD) is the powerplant of choice for the modest. It shells out 164 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque through the auspices of a six-speed autobox. Three drive modes — eco, normal, and sport — enable drivers to tweak engine response, shift mapping and steering resistance to correspond with the mood of the day. I really didn’t find a need for sport mode, largely enjoying the normal setting most. After spending a day administering the turbocharged and non-turbocharged Tucson variants, I departed the Sunshine Coast with the view that Hyundai has raised the bar for refinement, comfort and value in the compact crossover segment — albeit, handling dynamics and sheer athleticism may still belong to the likes of Mazda’s CX5.

Clean diesel VW Golf sets new world record road trip or even in daily commuting, the great mileage and long range of our TDI models is a pure convenience factor that few other vehicles on sale can match. “It’s a simple formula: Less stop, more go.” The record-setting Golf TDI departed from Volkswagen of America’s headquarters in Herndon, Va., and returned there to claim the record. Wayne Gerdes, automotive journalist and founder of cleanmpg.com, was the primary driver. His co-driver was Bob Winger, an electronics engineer long involved in energy and conservation projects. Gerdes is an expert hypermiler who has set mileage records in more than 100 vehicles. In 2013, Gerdes set the previous record in a 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI.

“Volkswagen’s TDI clean diesel engines are just amazing,” said Gerdes. “I don’t think people realize the potential mileage you can get from them. “In our experience, it is possible to get truly impressive mileage results by using just a few simple fuelsaving techniques.” The 2015 Golf TDI uses Volkswagen’s advanced turbocharged and directinjection clean diesel

engine to achieve an EPA estimated highway fuel economy of 45 miles per gallon when equipped with the sixspeed manual transmission. For the attempt, the Golf TDI used Shell ultra-lowsulfur diesel fuel and Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires, which feature a fuel-saving tread compound to help increase fuel efficiency and offer confident all-season traction.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Make sure your children get to school safely The RCMP is asking drivers to ensure their child passengers are buckled in properly and safely this back-to-school season and throughout the year. Research shows that a correctly used child safety seat reduces the risk of fatality by 71 per cent and the risk of serious injury by 67 per cent. Parents and those driving young children are asked to review the rules for how to buckle youngsters up safely: Up to one year old and up to nine kg (20 lbs): • A rear-facing child car seat is required until your child is at least one year of age and nine kg (20 lbs). • Rear-facing is a safe way for infants to be seated. • As long as they are within the seat recommendations (see manufacturer’s recommendations), they can continue

to use the rear-facing. • The best placement is in the back seat in the centre spot. • Never install a rearfacing seat on a front seat equipped with an air bag — your child could be injured if the air bag is deployed. Older than one year and between nine to 18 kg (20-40 lbs): • A rear or forwardfacing car seat, depending on your child’s weight. • As long as they are within the seat recommendations (see manufacturer’s recommendations) they can continue to use the rear-facing. • The best placement is in the back seat in the centre spot. • Forward facing seats must always be used with a tether. More than 18 kg (40 lbs) and under nine years old or 145 cm (4’9”) tall:

• A booster seat is required until your child is at least nine years old or 145 cm (4’9”) tall. • The best placement is in the back seat. • Booster seats are designed to be used with a lap/shoulder belt. Do not use a booster seat with only a lap belt. • Position lap belt low over hip bones and shoulder belt over shoulder and in front of chest. Kids 12 and under who are too old or large for a booster seat should sit in the back seat. Always make sure they use a seatbelt and that it’s properly adjusted. A driver can be fined $109 under the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations for a child not properly restrained or a seat not properly installed. A driver can also be fined $167 for having a child (nine to 15 years old) in the car who is not wearing a seatbelt.

With school starting up in less than two weeks for thousands of students across the province, nutrition experts at B.C. Children’s Hospital want to share some fresh ideas to help parents and caregivers prep those lunchboxes. • Involve your kids: Take your kids to the grocery store and have them help choose the menu. When children have invested time and energy in their lunches they’re more likely to eat them. Make grocery shopping fun by involving kids in picking themes or colours to guide lunch choices. • It takes two: When prepping morning snacks for recess, choose two foods from two different food groups for a balanced diet — for example, cheese and crackers or yogurt and fruit. • Eat the rainbow: Colourful fruits and vegetables are great ways to add nutrition. You can chop up some green, red, yellow and orange peppers, carrots, green beans and celery for crunchy snacks and add a healthy dip like hummus. Strawberries, kiwis, and oranges are also great sources of Vitamin C. • Infuse your water: Add extra flavor to your water bottle with strawberries, oranges, watermelon, cucumbers or mint for a fun and healthy alternative to pop. • Think outside the average lunch box: Look for attractive reusable lunch packaging that can keep food cool or warm depending on the dish. Presentation is important — sometimes moreso for children. • Work together: Work with your children and family to make healthy eating a priority. Set an example and remember that it takes time to develop good habits.
