Government posts $1.9-billion surplus in 14/15 ANDY BLATCHFORD
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The federal government posted a surprise $1.9-billion surplus in the 2014-2015 fiscal year, bringing the country’s books back into balance a year earlier than expected. The finance department released year-end figures yesterday for a period that was supposed to instead generate a $2-billion shortfall. The number ends a streak of six deficits under the Conservatives and tees up Thursday’s leaders’ debate, which will focus on the economy. Political leaders have jockeyed to portray themselves as the best managers of the public piggy bank as the economy has struggled amid the steep slide in commodity prices. The result pleased Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, whose government had forecasted a $2-billion deficit for 2014-2015 in its April budget. Harper credited “careful economic stewardship’’ for guiding the budget to balance a year ahead of schedule. The finance department said the $3.9-billion swing from the expected shortfall to surplus was largely due to higher revenue — from personal and corporate income taxes — that rang in $3 billion higher than projected, as well as positive year-end adjustments. The report also found expenditures were lower. Program spending was $800 million lower than forecast, while public debt charges were $100 million lower than expected. Looking forward, the Conservatives have predicted a $1.4-billion surplus for the current 2015-2016 fiscal year — a projection opponents insist the government is unlikely to hit. Political rivals say Ottawa is instead on track to run a shortfall in the current fiscal year because the economy contracted over the first two quarters of 2015 and pushed Canada into a technical recession.

HARPER FOCUSES ON ECONOMY, NDP CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Armed with news of an unexpected federal budget surplus, Prime Minister Stephen Harper warned a Kamloops crowd yesterday that an NDP government would run deficits and put jobs at risk. “In B.C. you have seen them in action,” he told several hundred Conservative supporters gathered in a Horizon North Logistics industrial building in the Mount Paul Industrial Park on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. “You know what they did to this province,” he said. “You can only imagine what they would do to this country.” Harper stood inside a building where 48 workers were laid off in January, ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW victims of plunging oil prices.

and other resource sectors. In response to a question, Harper acknowledged “in this city, the NDP is a strong force,” warning a New Democrat government will move to increase taxes as it has done in Alberta. “Look what’s happened in Alberta — we had some layoffs due to energy prices. The NDP comes in and raises taxes on business. Now there is a second round of layoffs.” Harper came to Kamloops following a rally in Penticton on Sunday. He also toured Riversong Guitars on Lorne Street for a photo opportunity. Harper boasted of Conservative spending in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding, including four-laning the Trans-Canada Highway, the city’s North Thompson River water intake, new transit infrastructure and investment at Thompson Rivers University.

Pool repairs could be $2.4M
Crash on Coquihalla claims life of driver
WESTSYDE FACILITY WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2016 ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
The investigation continues following a fatal accident on the Coquihalla Highway south of Kamloops on Friday. Sgt. Mike Pears of the RCMP’s Central Interior Traffic Services said a northbound SUV driven by a woman (the vehicle’s lone occupant) gradually drove off the highway near the Inks Lake exit. The vehicle went through a ditch, through a wildlife fence and over an embankment. The driver died at the scene. Pears said speed was not a factor in the crash. Witnesses to the crash are asked to call Central Interior Traffic Services at 250-828-3159.

Repairing the roof at Westsyde Pool could cost the city up to $2.4 million, according to a report headed to council today. Staff is asking city council to fund repairs at the pool ahead of the 2016 budget in order to get the facility up and running by September 2016. The city closed the pool in June after ceiling panels over the deep end began to sag and drop into the water. Parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam, who authored the report, said the cost to repair the pool’s leaky roof, the result of too much moisture in the building, could be anywhere

Notice No. 10-3
Notice of Application for Scrutineers Parkade and Performing Arts Centre Complex Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 14-1-177, 2015 Assent Voting (Referendum) On Saturday, November 7, 2015, qualified electors within the City of Kamloops will be voting on the following question: "Are you in favour of the City of Kamloops borrowing up to $49 million to design and construct the parkade and performing arts centre complex?" Scrutineers for and against the question must be appointed if applications are received from persons who wish to volunteer for the positions. Only persons entitled to vote as electors on the question shown above are entitled to act as scrutineers. If sufficient applications are received, one scrutineer for and one scrutineer against the question will be appointed for each voting place. One scrutineer for the question and one scrutineer against the question will also be appointed to be present at the determination of the official results and, if necessary, at a judicial recount. Applications to act as a scrutineer will be received by the Chief Election Officer at the office of the: City of Kamloops Legislative Services Division 7 Victoria Street West Kamloops , BC V2C 1A2 Email: legislate@kamloops.ca Fax: 250-828-3578 during the period of:
from $1.6 million to $2.4 million. To fund the project, the parks department is asking council to let it use $2.8 million budgeted for repairs to the building envelope at the Canada Games Pool in the Tournament Capital Centre, with any leftover cash being put back toward that project. Without an early funding commitment, Putnam said, it will be difficult to get Westsyde Pool open by next fall. “The time required to complete the community-consultation process, prepare detailed construction drawings, complete the tender process and repair the roof is estimated to be eight to ten months,” Putnam wrote in his report. If council agrees, staff would spend
three months on community consultation and preliminary design of the pool repairs, with the project going to tender in January. Putnam said the transfer of funds would put repairs at the Tournament Capital Centre — where the Canada Games Pool’s early-1990s insulation isn’t keeping moisture out of the walls — back by about six months, with construction beginning in fall 2016. Westsyde Pool’s closure has been a sore spot for some in the neighbourhood. In May, an online petition calling for a full upgrade of the pool to a community recreation centre picked up more than 1,000 signatures. The petition criticized the city for shutting the pool for more than a year.
10 days for spitting TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops woman who spat in the face of a fast-food employee after refusing to leave a downtown restaurant has been handed a 10-day jail sentence. Amanda Leigh Teasdale pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court on Friday to one count of assault stemming from an incident at the McDonald’s restaurant on Victoria Street on Aug. 17. Court heard the 20-year-old refused to leave when asked to
do so and became agitated, spitting in the left eye of a female employee. In addition to the 10-day jail sentence, Teasdale — who has a criminal record with a prior assault conviction — was also placed on a one-year probation term barring her from entering the McDonald’s on Victoria Street. Teasdale was asked by Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame if she knew she could not sit in a restaurant for hours on end. “I do now,” Teasdale replied. “Especially after this.”

KGHM Ajax submits mine application CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
KGHM Ajax has taken a major step forward in its quest to build an open-pit mine outside the city after submitting its application to the provincial and federal governments. The application is an 18,000-page document intended to answer environmental and health concerns and set the stage for approval of the company’s proposed open-pit mine in the city’s backyard. It was also submitted to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The company said there are 39 individual “valued components” that have been studied as part of the application. The methodologies, baseline conditions, models, test results, predictions and conclusions for these topics are included in the application. In addition, the company said, there are sections dealing with aboriginal rights and title, management plans and monitoring and accidents and malfunctions. “This is an important milestone for the Ajax Project,” said Marcin Mostowy, CEO of KGHM Ajax. “We believe our application meets the high standards expected of the Ajax project and we look forward to moving into the formal review stage.” Beginning yesterday, the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) began a 30-day application evaluation to determine if it contains all
of the information required by the application information requirements. The ministry said the application will not be made public until it is approved by the office. As part of its evaluation, the EAO will use input from a technical working group made up of experts from the federal, provincial and local governments, as well as First Nations, to determine if it is adequate. Among the groups expected to receive the document is the City of Kamloops and local First Nations. “It’s 19 binders,” said Sunny Lebourdais, Ajax project co-ordinator for SSN, a cooperative group comprised of Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands. “It’s six really big boxes — it’s big.” John Schleiermacher, a member of the official community advisory group on Ajax, said members were contacted by the EAO to give input into the format of a public meeting on the application. That meeting, however, is contingent on the application being accepted by the EAO. In the absence of a full federal panel review of the proposed mine immediately south of Kamloops, SSN has pledged to do its own independent review that will include public meetings. SSN will also review the application and make recommendations to the provincial and federal governments on whether it is adequate
or requires further information. KGHM Ajax said it is also in the process of finalizing “plain-language summaries” of chapters in the document designed to be more accessible to a layperson. “The plain language summaries will be hosted on a dedicated web platform, which will be available to the public from the beginning of the public comment period,” the company said in a statement. “This website will exist independently of the company’s corporate website, and its sole purpose will be to provide the community with dedicated, efficient access to the plain language summaries, as well as the full technical reports.” The company also plans to host several open houses during the public comment period. If KGHM Ajax’s application is approved by federal and provincial agencies, it will start the clock on a 180-day period, during which the two governments must make a decision at the cabinet level whether to approve the project, decline it or approve it based on a number of conditions. The ministry said it will also oversee a 75-day public comment period as part of that final approval once the application is accepted. Both Victoria and Ottawa must give approval for Ajax to proceed.

Sept 17 Clubs Day
A former National Hockey League enforcer has been handed a 45-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to a string of criminal charges dating back to last year. Rudy Poeschek was also sentenced yesterday to a six-month conditional-sentence order and an 18-month probation term. The 48-year-old was charged last year with one count of assault and three counts of driving while prohibited.

Court heard Poeschek, a Kamloops native who played parts of 12 seasons in the NHL, was prohibited from driving on July 5, 2014, when he backed his Volkswagen SUV into a vehicle in a Brocklehurst parking lot. Crown prosecutor Camille Cook said the female driver of the other vehicle then called police. “When she was attempting to call the police, Mr. Poeschek freaked out, grabbed her and shook her and tried to take pieces of paper from her hand,” Cook said.

Poeschek then fled the scene and returned a short time later, again trying to take documents from the woman. Cook described Poeschek’s behaviour as “bizarre.” After Poeschek left again, police tracked him down near his home and he was arrested for assault and driving while prohibited and released on a promise to appear in court. Later that same day, Poeschek was pulled over by an RCMP officer on Highway 5A while en route to his job at a mine in Princeton. He was arrested and charged with prohibited driving. Just over a month
later, on Aug. 8, 2014, Poeschek was pulled over by police near Courtney Lake and charged again. In October, he was stopped once again on Highway 5A and charged with driving while prohibited for a fourth time. One count of driving while prohibited was stayed in return for Poeschek’s guilty pleas. Splitting time between the New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues, Poeschek played 364 games, tallying six goals and 25 assists while racking up 817 penalty minutes. Prior to his professional career, Poeschek, a Terrace native, played in the WHL for the Kamloops Junior Oilers
and Blazers between 1983 and 1987. He was selected 238th overall by the Rangers in the 12th round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. Poeschek’s professional career ended in 2001. In 2005, a Florida judge sentenced Poeschek to 60 days in jail after he was arrested for driving across lawns in his Tampa neighbourhood with his five-year-old daughter in the car. In the three years prior to that, Poeschek was arrested eight times in Florida following a failed comeback attempt with the Lightning in 2002. Poeschek will serve his sentence on weekends.

Prime Minister’s visit to city tightly controlled From A1
But, Harper’s focus in Kamloops was on saving, rather than spending. The same day as his visit to the city, the federal Department of Finance released figures showing a $1.9-billion surplus for the 20142015 fiscal year. The prediction was for a shortfall of up to $2 billion. The Conservative leader said his government also notched a $5-billion surplus for the first three months of this year. Harper mentioned the Liberals only in passing in his speech to supporters in Kamloops, focusing on NDP governments in B.C. and Alberta. He called the 1990s under the NDP “the lost decade” of fast ferries, deficits, tax hikes and British Columbians leaving for work in other provinces. “A tax, borrow and spend agenda that, by the way, both the NDP and federal Liberals are running on in this election,” Harper said. The prime minister’s visit is his first to Kamloops in a decade. While Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod won more than 50 per cent of the vote four years ago, Harper’s comments make it clear
the riding is at play. He said the entire province will play an important part in electing the next federal government. His appearance in Kamloops follows NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, who came to the city on Sept. 1. “We all know the days when governments were elected before B.C. votes were even counted,” Harper said, urging supporters to get out and vote. The visit was tightly controlled, with a large and visible presence of RCMP and the prime minister taking few questions from reporters. Among the crowd was a former federal Liberal candidate and veteran B.C. Liberal Kevin Krueger. The retired MLA said he votes leader-first, party-second. “Far and away, he’s [Harper] the best candidate to be prime minister,” said Krueger, who first ran for politics in 1996 representing the federal Liberals against New Democrat Nelson Riis, who won. Jean Chretien was the Liberal leader and prime minister during the 1996 election. Krueger said Justin Trudeau doesn’t compare well to Chretien. “Not by a long shot. I don’t think he ever will.”

Prime Minister’s arrival brings friends, foes STAFF REPORTER

Leaning on a sign reading “wave goodbye Harper” outside Horizon North Logistics, Chalace Campbell said she didn’t come to Conservative leader’s Stephen Harper’s Kamloops campaign stop on Monday to protest. Campbell and her friend Magalie Knopf, both Thompson Rivers University social-work students, said they had hoped to watch the country’s prime minister speak at what they thought was a public event, but were turned away. She said the pair was asked if they had an invitation or knew anyone already inside the rally on the company’s factory floor. “We said, ‘No, we’re just TRU students who want to come and learn,’” Campbell said. While both women admit they are NDP supporters, they said they were at the event to listen. “He’s the prime min-

ister of Canada,” Knopf said. “Regardless of your views, it’s just a chance to see who he is.” A group of First Nations women from around the province — which had come to protest the Conservative party’s refusal to hold an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and its support for mining and other resource projects — was also turned away when it attempted to enter the event with media. Kanahus Manuel said the group was threatened with arrest several times. “The Harper government has never been good for native people,” she said. Other protesters made it farther into the
event, however. Marcia Dick said she reserved her ticket online and was inside the building for 45 minutes prior to Harper’s arrival before she and two other women were kicked out. “They said we couldn’t go in because our registration didn’t score high enough,” Dick said. All three women were wearing T-shirts reading “Alan should be here” — a reference to Alan Kurdi, the young Syrian boy who drowned as his refugee family attempted to cross from Turkey to Greece, with hopes of reuniting with family in Canada — though Dick said the shirts weren’t visible at the time.

Trudeau: Surplus arrived at via Conservative cuts From A1
Harper, who has noted that experts have predicted the economy to bounce back over the second half of the year, has insisted the government will produce a surplus in 2015-2016. He has repeatedly pointed to early numbers released by the finance department as evidence the country is on track. Last month, the finance department reported a $5-billion surplus for the April-June quarter. Harper’s opponents have dismissed it as preliminary data, a tally that received a $1-billion boost from a onetime asset sale of taxpayers’ General Motors shares. Government officials routinely warn that a few months of information do not necessarily paint the picture for the whole year. The debate over balancing the budget has, at times, dominated political discourse during the election campaign. “According to a wide range of experts, we are in deficit right now — Mr. Harper has put us in deficit this year,’’ Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said yesterday when asked about the 2014-2015 numbers. Trudeau accused Harper of implementing billions of dollars in under-
spending and cuts to veterans, seniors and aboriginal programs in order for him to balance the books before the election. “It was a political goal that actually has helped us slide into the recession,’’ he said. Trudeau has set his party apart from the Conservatives and the NDP by committing to run shortfalls before balancing the budget in 2019. He said his plan, which includes investing in infrastructure, will spur economic growth. The New Democrats have pledged to balance the books next year despite their big-ticket promises that include a plan to create one-million $15-a-day child-care spaces. Once fully implemented, the program would cost taxpayers an estimated $5 billion annually. To help pay for its commitments, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has vowed to erase the Tories’ controversial $2-billion-a-year income-splitting measure for families with kids. Mulcair is also pledging to raise corporate tax rates by an as-yet-unspecified amount and close a tax loophole on CEO stock options. The NDP, which has come under pressure to release its numbers, has said it will unveil its costed platform before a debate Thursday.

PROGRESS NEEDED ACROSS B.C.
T
here will be those in the non-native community alarmed to read some First Nations “are prepared to take direct action to protect our traditional lands from ongoing exploitation without our consent.” That action, if it occurs, could range from roadblocks to international lobbying and advertising, but it’s all related to the ongoing frustration that the issue of titles and rights remains unresolved. “It’s the same song and dance and nothing has changed,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. Unemployment remains high in many First Nations communities, as does poverty, and it’s partially related to a lack of access to natural resources and outdated, patriarchal federal legislation. After meetings between B.C.’s native leaders and the provincial government, there will be attempts to establish a reconciliation agreement that resolves land claims and resource development. Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief, is trying to remain optimistic about the process. “There’s an understanding that the status quo is unacceptable,” he said. “The province recognizes that and First Nations recognize that but it’s a case of overcoming years of misunderstanding.” Louis is right when he says that the future to reconciliation is linked to First Nations communities developing economically and the spin-off benefit for surrounding regions and the province. We would encourage all local residents to contact their MLAs and band councils to actively remain at the table and to look towards a future of co-operation and mutual respect.

Stunts detract from efforts
“
I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said. “The only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And, as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect

VICTORIA of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan. Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities. “Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consid-
eration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty — and misguided protesters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
UNION BENEFITS IN KAMLOOPS FAR TOO RICH Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of Sept. 11 (‘Cupello’s city stereotype’): By writing about a city employee being inept at his job, Foulds just touched the tip of the iceberg for CUPE and other union employees. Obviously, taxpayers are sucked in to pay job security for these employees and it should also be known that when these union employ-
ees retire, the taxpayer is stuck paying the full benefit package. At retirement, their benefit package should be reduced to half or less — after all, why should taxpayers continue to pay benefits to retired employees when many of those taxpayers are seniors themselves and many retired employees take work elsewhere? It should be noted that CUPE also covers some Kamloops-Thompson
school district employees. This story is more evidence the city should have a strong professional bargaining representative and taxpayers should demand such, considering the scope of the contracts. As a low-income senior struggling to get by, I not only object to Joe Cupello still being on the payroll — he should be gone. Myrna Byrd Kamloops

Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of Sept. 11 (‘Cupello’s city stereotype’): I would suggest Foulds take some time to study the B.C. Labour Code. While he may not be familiar with the code, he should be blaming the arbitrator, not the union, for what appears to be a ridiculous ruling. When Foulds refers to “a union that defends an indefensible act,” he is obviously unaware that, according to the B.C. Labour Code, under threat of severe penalties, a union must represent its members to the best of its abilities. It has no choice, much as a lawyer may not agree with his clients, but is still obligated to defend them. Based on media information, I am also galled by this city worker’s reinstatement. It does appear to be indefensible and makes me wonder if, perhaps, the government-paid arbitrator is simply trying to make unions look bad. After all, most citizens know no more about the labour code than Foulds.

Perhaps Foulds is right, but he did not tell readers that, sometimes, the City of Kamloops wastes taxpayers’ money, too. Does the public know how many grievances the City of Kamloops has right now against it and how much money that wastes in lawyers’ fees and expenses? It is not always the employees who are at fault.

With the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative candidate sitting out the debate, voters taking in an election forum at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market on Saturday heard plenty of agreement from the riding’s remaining candidates — particularly when it came to voting Prime Minister Stephen Harper out of power. A seat reserved for Conservative Cathy McLeod sat empty throughout the forum organized by the Council of Canadians, while Liberal Steve Powrie, NDP Bill Sundhu and Green Matt Greenwood laid out their parties’ plans for child care, seniors, small businesses and other topics. All three candidates said they want to see Canada cease military action in Syria, calling for a return to peacekeeping activities and humanitarian aid. The trio also plugged their parties’ national housing strategies, with Powrie pointing to tax incentives for first-time homebuyers and Sundhu pledging the NDP will see 10,000 housing units built per year through a $900-million public-infrastructure program that would also fund transit improvements. Asked what they would do for seniors, Powrie said the Liberals see a universal drug coverage program as a priority for Canada’s aging citizens, with the government buying generic drugs in bulk to bring down the cost of medication. “We have seniors citizens spending tens of
thousands per year on prescription drugs,” he said. Greenwood noted that’s also a plank of the Green Party platform, which estimates pharmacare could save Canadians $11 billion at a cost of $1 billion to the government. Sundhu said the NDP also consider a prescription drug plan for seniors a priority, but his party has a larger seniors’ strategy that looks at long-term care and retirement security. On the question of whether their parties would consider banding together following an election to form a government, there was some disagreement. Sundhu said his party is willing to work with anyone in Parliament, while Greenwood said his party offered to co-ordinate strategic, anti-Conservative voting efforts, but has been rebuffed by the other parties. Powrie said Liberal Leader Justing Trudeau has ruled out a formal coalition with the NDP, but added “there are pre-election conversations and post-election conversations.” He said while it makes sense for the party to focus on winning seats and telling its MP candidates it is confident they can success, “the day after the election, that is a totally different conversation.” All four federal candidates are due to debate at least three times in Kamloops — at a debate organized by Kamloops’ Rotary clubs, in a panel discussion organized by Radio NL and at an Oct. 14 debate at Thompson Rivers University co-sponsored by KTW, CFJC-TV and CBC Kamloops Radio.

Two Kamloops lawyers will argue at the Supreme Court of Canada in a case that will help determine when judges must accept plea-bargain deals.

The joint submission to B.C. Supreme Court by Crown and defence called for an 18-month jail sentence. The sentencing judge, however, rejected that submission. Instead, he increased the penalty to two years less a day and added a three-year probation term. The higher sentence was appealed to the B.C.

Seeking help in sponsoring refugees from Syrian crisis
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
LEADING THE WAY FOR A CURE
Steven Puhallo, the executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013. On Saturday, he led the way in the annual walk to raise funds for research. Participants started the walk in Riverside Park. Readers can still donate to the cause online at donate.parkinson.ca.
A city community group wants to bring a Syrian family to Kamloops and is looking for help to do it. The Jewish Community Centre of Kamloops (JCCK) has agreed to be the sponsoring agency to bring a family here. It will go through Kamloops United Church, which is an agency approved by the federal government to sponsor refugees. “We’re having a meeting of people who want to help,” said JCCK president Heidi Coleman, who in her day job is executive director of the RIH Foundation. In order to allow the sponsorship, the federal government requires a commitment of $30,000 used in the first year to help the family establish here. Volunteers help get children in schools, help with language skills and everyday life in this country. Once the financial and volunteer commitment is lined up, the sponsoring group will pick from a list. “There are only nine [Syrian] families on the list,” she said. “It shows you how slow things are on the ground.” Coleman said discussion about sponsorship began before the photo of a lifeless Alan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach landed in newspapers around the world. But, she acknowledged it has galvanized the country. “We were speaking about it before,” she said. “The photo brought it home. We all have kids.” The meeting is on Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Kamloops United Church. Last week, the province set aside $1 million to help Syrian families settle in this province.

Rotary ramps up to again feed families DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
In the 18 months since the Rotary family dinners began, Christopher Seguin and Devon O’Toole have watched kids grow up. They’ve watched them make friends and have fun — and they’ve watched their parents, mostly moms, do the same thing. In fact, as the pair recently told a meeting of the Kamloops-Thompson board of education, they have seen moments that have brought tears to their eyes as they’ve cooked up and served dinners at NorKam secondary. So, despite the fact the request has to go through administration for approval, trustees have voiced their expectation that continuing the program will be approved — after all, Kamloops-Thompson school district superintendent Karl deBruijn is one of the more than 400 volunteers who have
put in time at the school helping with the dinners. Twice a month during the school year, and monthly in the summer, the army of volunteers takes over the cafeteria, along with the school’s culinary-arts instructor, Scott Roberts, and some of his students. Together, they prepare a full dinner for a crowd that, on average, is between 120 and 160 people each month. Almost 70 per cent of them are children. Seguin told trustees the program began as a social experiment with three goals — to celebrate families, feed them (with seconds, thirds and to-go packages available) and respect their confidentiality. That’s why, he said, there are no photographs of the participants to share with trustees, adding this respect has been a big plus for the program. Seguin said it’s not an act of charity, something that is instilled in all volunteers, but an opportunity to make friends.

A Step in the Right Direction Could Save a Life
New families are always celebrated. Their children receive a gift at their first visit, although all children have the opportunity to get some small toys during games. Seguin said that falls under his job description, while O’Toole is in charge of meal-planning. This school year, business students at Thompson Rivers University will be getting involved, doing a feasibility study on expanding the program. Seguin said the idea is to find a way to work with existing breakfast and lunch programs in the school district and take the concept to other Rotary clubs in the province to determine if they are interested in doing the same thing. He told trustees he’s optimistic about expansion since the program received a major award at a gathering of 58 Rotary clubs throughout the province earlier this year.

Members of the T’kemlups Indian Band are mourning the death of former chief Clarence Jules with a public wake continuing today. The 89-year-old died on Thursday night. He was elected band chief in 1962, just one year after being elected to the band’s council, and held the position until 1972. Jules returned as a councillor in 1988 and remained part of the band’s governing body until 2001, when he was diagnosed with cancer and stepped down. Jules’ son — named for his father, but best known as Manny Jules — remembered the former chief as a man who could make friends for life simply by sitting with a stranger for an hour. “When I would go out with him as a kid, and even recently, it would take us forever to get anywhere because he’d always know the individual, he would know the names of their parents, where they’re from, he was able to tell other stories that they didn’t know,” Manny said. “He really was a bridge builder.

TRU SOCCER
‘Night-and-day’ start to season for WolfPack men Blazers, Rockets split
ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER

M
aybe Saturday’s seasonopening match was a wake-up call for Thompson Rivers University. Maybe the WolfPack benefitted from having a full complement of regulars in the lineup on Sunday. Whatever the case, the WolfPack men’s soccer team was a much different club in its second match of the Canada West regular season, against the Fraser Valley Cascades. “It was definitely a night-and-day performance from yesterday,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said on Sunday. His club defeated the Cascades 3-0 earlier that day, rebounding from a 3-1 loss to the Trinity Western Spartans on Saturday. “Not a lot had to be said today, in regard to what they needed to do.” Antulov’s assessment of Sunday’s performance was much different than that which he offered following Saturday’s loss, when he said a combination of failed execution and lacklustre effort derailed the WolfPack’s home opener. On Sunday, his club had worked out the jitters and played for a full 90 minutes. There was no more questioning compete level. “I think that loss kind of woke a few guys up,” he said. “I don’t think you ever want to lose, but I think

that loss woke us up as a group.” The WolfPack were led on the scoreboard by striker Ryan Glanville, who scored two goals and set up TRU’s third, a tally by forward Oriol Torres. He scored the club’s lone goal on Saturday, on a cross from Torres. Following the loss to the Spartans, Glanville said he expected the Pack would come with a better effort on Sunday and they did. And Antulov couldn’t have asked for much better
from his newest striker on opening weekend. “That’s what we expected from Ryan when he came in — to bring that leadership and older presence and calm things down, sometimes take games by the neck,” the coach said. “It was a complete team effort. Our older players really stepped up to the plate and took a leadership role in getting us to the win today.” Travis Froehlich put together another impres-
sive goalkeeping performance Sunday, making six saves to pick up the shutout. Antulov said the club also got good performances from defenders Corey Wallis and Finlay McPhie — both of whom were playing in their first regular season match — and defender Braeden Burrows. TRU will get a bye in Week 2 Canada West action and will be on the road to visit two league powerhouses in UBC and the University of Victoria in the
third week of the season. The club will return to Hillside Stadium on Oct. 10, to face the UBCOkanagan Heat. By then, fans in the Tournament Capital will have a better idea of what realistic expectations are for the Pack this season. “It was nice getting the monkey off the back, I think it took us 10 games last year,” Antulov said. “To get the win early this year was nice and it takes a lot of pressure off the guys.”
The Kamloops Blazers took the first game of a home-andhome series against the Kelowna Rockets on Friday night, winning 3-1 at the Sandman Centre. Luke Harrison led the Blazers with a goal and two assists. Jake Kryski and Nick Chyzowski also hit the scoresheet with goals, while Marc McNulty, Erik Miller and Garrett Pilon drew assists. Dylan Ferguson went the distance in goal, making 31 saves on 32 shots. Kelowna’s lone goal came of the stick of Dillon Dube. Jake Morrissey took the loss in goal, surrendering two goals on 29 shots. Kelowna won the second game in the Okanagan by a score of 4-3. Cole Kehler stopped 18 shots in net. Matt Needham, Nick Chyzowski and Ondrej Vala scored for Kamloops. The Blazers’ next pre-season game is Saturday in Prince George.

Yachison enters record books as Broncos lose to Langley On the other, he made the 168th reception of his junior football career and became the B.C. Football Conference’s all-time receptions leader. The catch vaulted him past Matt Scheurwater, who caught 167 passes while playing for the Okanagan Sun between 2006 and 2010.

Saturday was a bittersweet day for Kamloops Broncos’ receiver Derek Yachison. On the one hand, his club suffered a 41-13 loss to the Langley Rams, dropping its record to 4-3 on the season.

“It would have been much better to get the win,” Yachison told KTW. He did, however, take time to reflect on the feat. “It was cool,” he said. “It’s always good to get those individual awards. I think that it’s definitely something you strive to do. I think that shows a lot about consistency over time.” Yachison is nearing the end of his fifth and final season with the Broncos and has been a mainstay on the club’s offence throughout his tenure. He had one of two Kamloops touchdowns on Saturday — the other went to fellow receiver Devin Csincsa — and racked up 151 yards on eight receptions. Heading into Week 7, Yachison led the league in touchdowns with 11 on the season. He also leads in receiving yards with 809 and receptions with 50. Based on stats alone, the Winnipeg native is by far the most dominant receiver in the BCFC. “I think it just shows that starting for five years and being consistent on and off the field pays off,” he said. “That’s the thing I take the most pride in — staying healthy and being a consistent player over my five years.” Yachison’s record

was one of the few positive notes Saturday, however. With the loss, the Broncos will likely be on the road for the duration of the playoffs as they appear destined to finish in the lower half of the conference. The Rams captured the season series over Kamloops with the victory and since the Vancouver Island Raiders — sitting at 4-3 following a Sunday afternoon loss to the 7-0 Okanagan Sun — also won the season series against Kamloops, both clubs will likely finish ahead of Kamloops. Kamloops didn’t come out with its best effort Saturday, either. Yachison said the Broncos offence was flat and struggled to generate first downs after coming off a bye in Week 6. The club relied heavily on its defence to keep them in the game and, eventually, the Rams wore the
Broncos out. Kamloops was held to 40 yards rushing and 277 yards passing, with close to 100 of those yards coming on three plays in the final few seconds of the game. Langley recorded seven quarterback sacks. The Week 7 loss, coupled with a near miss against the 2-7 Westshore Rebels in Week 5 — Kamloops pulled out a 37-36 victory in the game’s final seconds — and surrendering the points differential advantage to the Vancouver Island Raiders in the final moments of Week 4, might cause some to worry the Broncos are trending in the wrong direction. “Obviously, you’re going to worry that you’re going in the wrong way,” Yachison said. “But, honestly, I think its a middle of the season hump and we’re going to have to get over it here.” END ZONE — Kamloops’ next game is Sept. 20 in Kelowna against the powerhouse Sun. The club finishes the regular season with two home games, Sept. 26 against Westshore and Oct. 3 against Okanagan . . . In the other Saturday game, the visiting Westshore Rebels defeated the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack 27-22.

Olynyk, Canada fall short at 2015 FIBA Americas ADAM WILLIAMS

Kamloops’ Kelly Olynyk put his team on his back, but it wasn’t enough as Canada fell to Venezuela at the FIBA Americas Championship on Friday night, failing to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. “It was a very difficult game against a team that played very well,” Canadian head coach Jay Triano told The Canadian Press. “We played the tournament at a high level, but we didn’t tonight.
“Canada’s dream has been deferred.” Venezuela won the game 79-78, capitalizing on a lastsecond foul shot to pull ahead of the Canadians. Olynyk led Canada with 34 points, 13 rebounds and two assists. He more than tripled the second-leading Canadian scorer, Brady Heslip, who finished the night with 10 points. “They [Venezuela] scored important baskets in key moments and we had a hard time stopping that,” Olynyk said. The loss was a stunning one for the Canadians, who defeat-
ed Venezuela by 20 points in a game earlier in the tournament. The club had won seven straight games headed into Friday’s semifinal and was considered a favourite to grab one of the two Olympic qualifications for Rio. Canada beat host Mexico Saturday with a buzzer-beater from guard Cory Joseph to earn a bronze medal. Canada will have one more opportunity to grab a spot in Rio at the world qualifying tournament next summer. The nation has not played in an Olympic Games since the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
WHL introduces rule changes The Western Hockey League unveiled a series of rule changes for the 2015-2016 season at a press conference yesterday in Regina. Most of the changes have also been adopted by the National
Hockey League and were tested during the WHL pre-season. Similar to the NHL, the WHL has adopted a three-on-three overtime format for regular-season games, replacing the fouron-four format. As in
previous years, teams will go to a shootout if overtime fails to produce a winner. A series of rules govern power plays in overtime, and at no time will a team be permitted to have less than three players on
the ice. Instead of the penalized team having a player removed, the team at extra stregth will add a skater. The league has also adjusted the size of its hash marks and the size of the goaltender’s trapezoid.

Jays win series, lose Tulowitzki McDavid makes pro THE CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — Troy Tulowitzki doesn’t think his potentially lengthy absence will affect the Blue Jays’ remarkable season. The all-star shortstop, who was diagnosed with a small crack on his left shoulder blade after colliding with Kevin Pillar on a catch during Saturday’s first game of a doubleheader in New York, will be off the field for at least a couple of weeks. “If you look back in history, all teams that won a World Series or made it deep in the playoffs, they all faced adversity,’’ Tulowitzki said Sunday at Yankee Stadium before the Blue Jays closed out a four-game series against New York. “Whether guys are missing time or it didn’t quite play out the way they thought it would and that’s part of the game. “So, hopefully, this is something that makes our story that much more special.’’ The Blue Jays are 30-8 when Tulowitzki has been in the starting lineup and
32-10 since the team traded Jose Reyes and prospects to Colorado for the all-star shortstop on July 28. Tulowitzki will remain with the Blue Jays, who lead the AL East by 3.5 games, as his shoulder heals. “I definitely wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,’’ he said. “In that clubhouse, it’s special — it’s a close group. “Being around them every day, when you lose one person it can affect the team. So, as good as we’re going, you don’t want to switch anything up.’’ Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday that Tulowitzki might be able to return to action in two to three weeks, but added that estimation is “only a guess at this point.’’ While Anthopoulos said the team would know more “in the next few days,’’ Tulowitzki preferred not to put a timeline on his own recovery. “I know that if I do that, I’m going to be itching at the bit and, if I do need that extra time and we’re in a good spot, I think it would be wise for
me to take it and wait until I’m 100 per cent healthy,’’ Tulowitzki said. “But, time will tell everything — we’ll know where we’re at in the standings, we’ll know how my body’s feeling and we’ll make a decision based on both those things.’’ The injury happened during the second inning of Saturday’s early game. Tulowitzki, who said there are no “tough feelings’’ between him and Pillar, felt he was camped under the fly ball in shallow centre field when Pillar charged into him from behind, his chin squaring up with Tulowitzki’s shoulder blade. “I originally thought it was an elbow because it dug down deep in there,’’ Tulowitzki said. “It definitely got me good.’’ Cliff Pennington, who was traded to the Blue Jays from Arizona on Aug. 8, came into the game at second base with Ryan Goins moving to shortstop. Pennington was 1 for 3 in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader, and 1 for 4 with a two-run home run in
the second game. He also made a nice defensive play with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of the first game to save a run in a tie game, which Toronto eventually won 9-5 in 11 innings. Toronto added some infield insurance on Sunday morning, acquiring 2012 National League Gold Glove winner Darwin Barney from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for minor league catcher Jack Murphy. Barney, 29, appeared in two games for the Dodgers this season and spent the rest of the year with triple-A Oklahoma City, where he hit .277 with 15 doubles, four home runs and 31 runs batted in. The right-handed batter is a career .245 hitter in 566 games. The Blue Jays took three of four games in a weekend series against New York. After an off-day yesterday, they start a three-game interleague set in Atlanta today before returning to Toronto for the season’s final homestand.
debut in Penticton JOSHUA CLIPPERTON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
PENTICTON — Connor McDavid is used to being the centre of attention. His professional debut was no different. The No. 1 pick at June’s NHL draft had a goal and an assist for the Edmonton Oilers’ prospects in an 8-2 thumping of their counterparts from the Vancouver Canucks in the Young Stars tournament opener for both teams on Friday night. But, it was a hit he took in the first period from former world junior teammate Jake Virtanen that had everyone talking afterwards. Virtanen caught McDavid, a friend away from the rink, with the puck in his feet along the boards and rocked him to the ice to set the tone for what would turn into a testy affair that included numerous scrums to close out the first day of the four-team rookie showcase. “I got hit. It was part of the game, whatever,’’ McDavid said while trying to downplay the check. “It’s a hockey game and that stuff’s going to happen.’’ Gerry Fleming, head coach of Edmonton’s AHL affiliate, is running the Oilers’ bench at the tournament and said the young phenom will have to get used to that type of treatment, if he isn’t already.
Obituaries & In Memoriam CHIEF CLARENCE JULES SR. It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Chief Clarence Jules Sr. in the evening of September 10, 2015.
Lydia Regier passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on September 8, 2015 at the age of 89 years.
Clarence was born in Kamloops, BC on January 6, 1926 and grew up on his father’s farm on the Kamloops Indian Reserve. He attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School and went on to work as a cowboy and heavy equipment operator. He is well known as a former Chief of the Kamloops Indian Band and long serving member of Council credited with building good working relationships with business and the leaders in Kamloops. Throughout his life he worked tirelessly to advance the interests of his community and the Secwepemc people. In the 1960’s, he lead the Band as chief and started the Mt. Paul Industrial Park one of the most successful First Nation commercial developments in Canada. Clarence knew the importance of irrigation for the production of hay. As chief of the KIB, in 1968 he worked to change the irrigation system from flood irrigation to a more modern pump based system with an intake from the North Thompson River and water distribution lines throughout the hay lands on the reserve. Serving on Council for more than 20 years his other many accomplishments included hosting the formative meeting of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, completing the successful repatriation of Scheidam Flats and finalizing the band’s purchase of the Harper Ranch. Clarence believed in working at the speed of business and worked with his son Manny on many initiatives to overcome the obstacles of the Indian Act. A well-known cowboy, in 2010 he was inducted into BC Cowboy Hall of Fame. Clarence is survived by his wife Delores, children and family members.

Others Who Have Gone Before
By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana
Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

Judy B.L. Cassar Torreggiani, age 73, passed away at Kelowna General Hospital, after a difficult struggle with cancer, on Sunday, September 6, 2015.
SHARLYN (CHARLIE) LOUISE RENNIE August 6, 1948 - September 11, 2015 Charlie passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 67 in Kamloops, BC.
She was born Judy Fraser in Vernon, BC on February 6, 1942. In 1945, she moved to North Kamloops, where she spent her formative years, graduating from North Kamloops Senior Secondary School in 1960. After graduation, Judy attended Nursing School at Royal Inland hospital. During her time in nursing, she treated a mysterious foreigner who swept her off her feet and kept her House Mother hopping. After marrying her soulmate in 1963, she made the decision to forego a career in nursing to become a full time parent. She excelled in the role of mother and grandmother, raising three children to adulthood. She relished pampering her grandchildren, enjoyed spending summers at Shuswap Lake and loved attending productions at Sagebrush Theatre. “Wheezer”, as she was known, is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Andrew; a sister, Debrah (Jan); two sons, Bruce (Jennifer) and Kevin; a daughter, Kathryn (John); three grandchildren, Madison, Ireland, and Benjamin; as well as the extended Cassar Torreggiani family. A celebration of Judy’s life will be held next summer at her favorite place, Magna Bay. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the Kamloops Humane Society in her name. Wheezer’s passing reminded us of the preciousness of life and serves as an inspiration to live life to the fullest every day.
She is survived and will be forever missed by her daughter Christine (Shawn) of Toronto and son Jeff, and Ihor Starchuk (Tanya) of Kamloops, sister Shannon Leigh Gilchrist (Alister), brothers Bruce (Janice) and Scott (Janice) all of Edmonton, her granddaughter Madyson Vollett of Hamilton, Ontario, and Zak, her “other kid” and constant loyal companion. A very special mention of Kathryn Sharples and son Evan, Lilly and Dennis Samila, Megan St. Micheal who, during mom’s last weeks of her life were there day and night to insure her dignity and grace stayed intact during her treatment. At her request, please join us at her home on Saturday, September 19th from 1-5pm for a celebration of her life. 1831 Parkcrest Ave, Kamloops BC. In lieu of flowers, Charlie has asked for donations to be made to the Kamloops SPCA. She will be cremated and her ashes will be spread at Pigeon Lake, Alberta at a later date. A special thank you to Susanne Foster, Dr. Hollman, Dr. Proctor, and the Kelowna Cancer Center. You all enabled her to take charge of her own care, and gave her amazing support since she was first diagnosed.
Good-bye Mom, you will be forever loved and forever missed. “And now she flies with the butterflies…”

ROY HISHASHI INOUYE December 25, 1931 - Sepember 8, 2015 Roy Hishashi Inouye of Kamloops, BC passed away on Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at 83 years of age. He is survived by his daughters Lori (Robert), Adele (Bill), and Teri (Denis), grandsons Brian and Alex, and sisters Margaret Lyons, Kazuko Shimizu, and Yoshiko Tanaka. He is predeceased by his wife Betty, his parents, and his brothers Ray and Edison. Roy was born in Mission City, BC, on December 25, 1931, eldest son to Yoshinobu Inouye and Teru Tsuji. During the 1942 evacuation of the Japanese Canadians from the BC Coast, he and his family moved to Oak Bluff and later Winnipeg, Manitoba and returned eight years later to Vancouver, BC. He worked in the Lower Mainland before attending U.B.C. where he met Betty Miyazaki, the love of his life. In 1957 he moved to Kamloops to own Ray’s TV Audio Ltd with his brother and in Kamloops Roy married Betty in 1959. He joined Xerox in 1970 until he retired in 1989. Roy was extremely active in numerous community organizations, both as a great support to his wife Betty in all the organizations she was involved in, and in his own role as a volunteer and board member of various organizations and committees. His interest in serving the community began with his involvement with the Manitoba Buddhist Society. While at U.B.C., he joined the University Naval Training Division and there he continued his connection to the Buddhist Society which he sustained throughout his life.

BEATEN, SHOCKED FOR OPPOSING REGIME THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Yaman Alqadri still remembers the emotionally draining and painful moments she suffered in the months before her arrival in Canada from Syria in April 2012. The pain was from the beatings and electric shocks she endured in November 2011 after she and friends distributed flyers against the Assad regime while she was attending medical school in Damascus. Alqadri and her younger brother were born in a Damascus suburb, but the family moved to Saudi Arabia in 1996 where she completed high school before deciding to return to the Syrian capital at the age of 18. “We knew the gov-
ernment, we knew about the corruption, but there was no will to change anything,’’ Alqadri, now 22, said in an interview at her Montreal apartment. Then, in early 2011, the Arab Spring erupted as anti-government protests and uprisings spread across the Middle East. Alqadri said someone suggested they hand out flyers with slogans that read: “Syrian People Deserve Change” as well as “The Army is to Protect the People, Not Shoot Them.” They couldn’t distribute on campus because of surveillance cameras, so they found a construction site that didn’t have cameras and tossed flyers out the windows. Alqadri says she hid for a week after learning authorities were
looking for her, but she decided to return to campus. Then, after two weeks, members of the student union, “the Assad regime’s arm on campus,’’ came after her. They took her, she said, to a guard’s office where she was beaten and kicked and ended up with a bloody nose. She was handcuffed, blindfolded and driven in an unmarked car to a branch of the security service and taken to a man she described as “the boss,’’ who wanted to know why she distributed the flyers. “He then told his assistant: ‘OK, bring me the electric stick,’ and he started to put the stick to my body and I received electrical shocks,’’ Alqadri said. “It’s not about giving them the right answer, it’s about teaching me a lesson.’’
Later, around midnight she was again handcuffed and blindfolded and driven to another branch of the security service for more questioning. While she was being detained, her friends started a Facebook page. There was also extensive media coverage and that’s when her parents in Riyadh first found out about her detention. Alqadri said her mother went to Syria to
beg to get her freed. On the 24th day of her detention, Alqadri was finally released. She credits media coverage, public pressure and probably the fact authorities realized she was not influential. She arrived in Canada in April 2012 and has since received her permanent resident status. Alqadri hopes to become a Canadian citizen and fulfil her lifelong dream of becoming a psychiatrist.

BLAIRMORE, Alta. — RCMP have issued an Amber Alert for a missing two-year-old girl in southwestern Alberta. Police say Hailey DunbarBlanchette was abducted early yesterday morning from the town of Blairmore. Mounties don’t know who
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The little deer that wandered through downtown Vancouver, enchanting bystanders and causing traffic mayhem, has apparently been hit by a car and killed. Police say they were called to the Vancouver end of the Lions Gate Bridge around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday after receiving a call that a deer had been struck by a car and killed. Sgt. Randy Fincham said the animal was removed from the road before officers arrived. Stanley Park Ecological Society executive director Patricia Thomson said the social deer was one of only two seen in the
park since the 1960s — although there’s no firm confirmation it was the deer that was killed. The young buck became a social media star with its own Twitter account after being spotted wandering the streets of downtown Vancouver in July and fawning fans spent the summer posting photos of the animal.

SHOWTIME AUSTRALIA PHOTO Giles Taylor (front) and (left to right) Steven Dennett, Kyle Thompson and Richie Baker get help from Freddy Mercury’s long-time assistant Peter Freestone to perfect their Queen tribute show, which lands in Kamloops tonight.
Challenging the doors of time QUEEN TRIBUTE SHOW TO ROCK SAGEBRUSH TONIGHT AT 8 P.M. DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
E
very morning, Giles Taylor plays squash with the road manager of his band. It’s essential, Taylor said, because of how he spends his evenings — fronting the tribute show Queen: It’s A Kind of Magic. “Beyond his singing,” Taylor said of Freddie Mercury, the role he fills, “people don’t realize how fit he was. He wasn’t just up there singing; he was running all over the stage, from one side to the
other and then out to the front.” It’s an exhausting pace that has Taylor a bit awestruck although, he noted, Mercury’s lifestyle was focused on fitness and health. The show arrives in Kamloops today for an 8 p.m. show at Sagebrush Theatre. A veteran performer on London’s West End, Taylor said he jumped at the chance to recreate Mercury alongside three others who take on the characters of bassist John Deacon, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. In the show, Deacon is recre-
ated by Steve Dennett, May by Ritchie Baker and Taylor by Kyle Thompson. And, he said, they do indeed take on the full characters, courtesy of a flurry of costume changes and wigs to create for the audience a feeling that they’re seeing and hearing the real thing. In fact, for those who saw the show when it came to the River City a few years ago, Taylor said the number of costume changes he has is greater. “I whip off the stage, drop my clothes, get into another one and then run back on. There’s no time to breathe.” Growing up in a home filled with music — Taylor said his parents had the Queen albums in an eclectic record collection — the chance to sing some iconic rock
songs couldn’t be missed. He knows the audience will be singing along with We Are the Champions, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Radio Ga-Ga but his favourite moments are with the ballads and getting to sit where he’s also comfortable, at the piano. While the pace is exhausting — he spends up to 10 months a year touring the world — Taylor said this show is special to him for another reason: Peter Freestone, Mercury’s long-time assistant, works with the musicians. “I’ll be singing and he’ll suddenly go ‘No, no, no, Freddie wouldn’t do it that way’,” he said. “And then he’ll tell us how to do it. It’s just great having him there for us.”
‘FALL BUY’ PASS SALE
Along with the performance advice comes the simple pleasure of being able to ask Freestone questions about the band that came together in the 1970s and released its first self-titled recording in 1973. Mercury wrote five of the 10 tracks, May wrote four (one with Tim Stampell) and Taylor wrote one. It was the album that gave the music world Keep Yourself Alive and Doing All Right. The set list includes more than three dozen songs, starting with the title song and ending, appropriately, with Bohemian Rhapsody. Tickets are $59 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

BACK TO
SCHOOL Ahhh! Back to school! Now that the kids are settled in their classes, you want to ensure they are making healthy choices when it comes to lunch especially if they are teenagers and making their Dr. Preety Desai own lunches. However, one aspect you may not have considered when it comes to lunch options is dental health. All ages are at risk of developing cavities especially if they don’t practice healthy dental habits, but dental cavities are still prevalent in our childhood/teen population. Simple healthy tips promote good dental habits in children: 1. Get to bed on time: Scientists have proven that lack of sleep forces poor nutritional choices upon waking fatigued - the challenge for parents continues, especially with teenagers whose circadian sleep rhythms are reversing - preparing smoothies or a homemade breakfast sandwich for on the run late mornings is easy in the long run 2. Eat healthy foods at home: A healthy diet won’t just improve your child’s growth and physical health but also improve their dental health. Natural foods such as fruits, contain less sugar and aren’t as damaging to the teeth because they are not unnaturally “sticky”. We all aim to serve a balanced diet, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy products and protein at home and the suggestion is to just NOT buy junk foods for “snacks” as a food alternative 3. Pack fruits, veggies and dairy: as mentioned natural foods cause less harm and following up with cheese at lunch which has natural casein and is also a natural cavity fighting food. Fruit will satisfy your child’s sweet cravings and help them gain all the proper nutrients they need to grow healthy. 4. Never put sticky and sugary foods in the lunch bag: food that is sticky, crunchy or has added sugar promotes cavities. Candy or gummies are totally loaded with sugar and stick to the teeth which further enhances the tooth’s exposure to cavity breakdown - contrasting to fruit’s affects. 5. Be active in their dental care: take your child with you to your regular dental appointment or cleaning as soon as they have teeth - hygienists love to get kids going positively! - dental fear is deterred and dentistry starts positively - not only when things go wrong or are painful. Definitely brush your child’s teeth until they don’t let you...... this is contrary to what is advised. Kids take time to develop the motor skills to effectively brush and this is where we as parents must helicopter a bit! 6. Teenagers!: a recent Swedish study showed that people’s circadian rhythms might have a greater impact on healthy teeth than one might assume. It was proven that young Swedes who regularly stayed up late had an almost four times higher risk of dental caries than did early risers. THIS APPLIES TO KIDS ON THE COMPUTER LATE NIGHTS AND SNACKING AFTER PARENTS HAVE GONE TO BED. These kids brushed their teeth less often and ate breakfast less regularly and thus were at high risk for caries. So whether it’s their first year at school or they’re already climbing the ranks or a frustrating teenager - planning ahead with a list, shopping by the list and prepreparing the foods make it easier for parents and kids to keep on track! Eventually all these kids make better choices for nutrition as they mature!

t’s been a long and wonderful summer; we hiked and camped, basked in the sun and swam in the lakes, grew a garden with six-foot tomato plants and now, finally, my favourite time of the year has arrived. September means the kids have gone back to school. It makes me happy to see schools embrace the importance of art in their curriculum and I know all of the schools in Kamloops teach it. I have always maintained that art is an essential part of every child’s development, even when it was not a popular notion. During the 1970s and 1980s, the backlash from the modernist and elitist movement was so negative many parents and schools moved away from art education. The thinking was, if painting is dead, then why bother teaching it? Artists were not considered good role models. This anti-art movement trickled its way into schools and the boards that govern them. Children of the 1980s and 1990s got less of an art background than I did, preferring to go to Myspace and reinvent the English language through texting. Instead of learning about Tom Thompson in the classroom, kids taught themselves to find outlets for their creativity online. Now these techsavvy kids have grown up and created a new virtual universe where everyone in the world can socialize and share creativity at the touch of a button. I have to say this new paradigm is a lot more fun and interesting than a white cube sitting on the floor with a three page essay posted beside it explaining why it’s art. For instance, yesterday I played a beautifully animated Xbox game where I became the character in a
KARLA PEARCE
The Creative
EDGE

Game of Thrones movie and got to choose what my character did and said. Those choices influence the story, just like in real life. Now that is high art, as far as I am concerned. The game was visually amazing and made me feel a whole range of emotions. It is still in my mind. This is what, historically, has always happened. A new art form and generation of artists will replace the old. I think it is important we are aware of what we teach children about art. Studies have shown children go through multiple imprinting phases and what we are teaching them does have an impact on the future. Historically, we know creativity is a human expression that is going to come out anyway, so why not encourage it? Teaching children to be creative can do nothing but good. Simple exercises with hands-on projects like drawing, painting and sculpture can increase dexterity and ability to concentrate; it can improve problem -solving skills, heighten self-esteem and manage depression. Thinking creatively burns new pathways in to the brain. Creating art makes us smarter in all of our subjects and, best of all, it’s fun. Due to popular demand, I will be resuming after-school art tutoring for stu-
dents ages seven to 17 this fall in my home studio and am accepting registration for small art classes which run after school,
3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Classes begin the last week of September. I am also offering adult art tutoring on

hen KTW Holly Lewis sprung for her water glass, discreetly tucked behind a fence prop at Pavilion Theatre, I thought she deserved to fill it with something a little stiffer. On stage, during Western Canada Theatre’s 40th-season-opener Miss Caledonia, Lewis is essentially a one-woman show. There’s no playing off others actors, no breaks — apart from that occasional sip of water — and it all rides on Lewis. That means running around stage in her plaid and sneakers, transforming herself into about 20 characters and telling the entire story of how Ontario farm girl Peggy Ann Douglas plans to escape life on Rural Route 2 Caledonia by entering into a beauty pageant. It’s a feel-good story written by Melody Johnson and Lewis is charming. Highlights include Peggy Ann Douglas’ pageant talent, in which Lewis sings an energetic version of I’ve Been Everywhere while twirling a baton and her seamless transition into an auctioneer’s voice that had the audience laughing so loud you could hardly make out what she was saying as it rolled quickly off her tongue. Christina Cuglietta is sort of an unsung hero, off the side of the stage playing the fiddle. The music and sound effects she creates with the lone instrument fills gaps and creates emotion in scenes that might otherwise be difficult with someone on stage acting out every character of the play. If you get a chance to see it, be sure to glance over at Cuglietta every once in a while because she’s usually doing more than playing the fiddle. Miss Caledonia runs through Sept. 26.

Couple more times to join local theatre troupe for laughs this season The city’s Laughing Stock Theatre Society has announced its schedule through to the end of the year. On Oct. 8 to Oct. 10, the troupe will be at the Kamloops Conference Centre theatre, 1250 Rogers Way, for its annual dinner and theatre event. This year, the actors are presenting Recent Tragic Events by Craig Wright. Briefly, the plot involves Waverly, a young advertising executive going out on a blind date on the day of the attacks on the
World Trade Centre. Described as seriously funny, the plot sees Waverly and her date, Andrew, an airport bookstore manager, realize they are connected by bizarre coincidences. Add in a visit by Waverly’s musician neighbour and his girlfriend, as well as an appearance by Waverly’s great-aunt, author Joyce Carol Oates (played by a sock puppet), and the play becomes poignant and thought-provoking. The show is $18; add in dinner at the venue and the price is $40.
Dinner is from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. The play starts at 8 p.m. and runs for two hours. It’s designed for those 18 and older and contains coarse language. The society’s annual Christmas presentation at Sagebrush Theatre is Beauty and the Beast — The Panto. It’s the traditional story of Belle, her father, the dark woods, the castle and, of course, the Beast. It runs on Dec. 24, Dec. 26, Dec. 28, Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 at 1 p.m. and on Dec. 26 and Dec. 29 at 7 p.m.

Toyota unveils new Prius amid low U.S. fuel prices TOM KRISHER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — The rollout of Toyota’s new Prius comes at an inauspicious time for gas-sipping vehicles. The Japanese automaker unveiled a sleeker version of the car that runs on gas and electricity at a glitzy event last week in Las Vegas. But, gas prices nationwide were at US$2.39 per gallon ($0.84 per litre CAD) last week, the lowest level in since 2004, and analysts expect more declines now that summer driving season has ended. South Carolina prices are under $2 per gallon according to AAA, and four other states were at US$2.10 ($0.70 per litre CAD) or lower. The 2016 Prius is more sculpted and sportier looking than the current version as Toyota tries to move the car from appealing mainly to environmentalists to more of a mainstream vehicle. The company says it will get about 55 mpg in combined city and highway driving, about 10 per cent better than the 2015 version. It’s more than 2 inches longer than the current car, and it sits almost an inch lower. The fourth-generation Prius’ new underpinnings, including a new suspension, will give it a lower centre of gravity for crisper handling than the current Prius, plus a smoother ride. “What once was a rational purchase that for many

customers focused on fuel economy is now so much more,’’ said Bill Fay, general manager of the Toyota Division in the U.S. Tom Libby, manager of industry analysis for the IHS Automotive consulting firm, said the Prius brand name is so familiar now that the car no longer has to look different for the environmentally conscious to make a statement that they’re driving a hybrid. The new styling, he said, will help it appeal to a wider
range of people. The launch timing is unfortunate for Toyota, which had been planning the new Prius for several years and didn’t know that gas prices would be so low at this time, Libby said. “At some point gas prices will go up and fuel economy will rise on people’s priority lists, and they’ll be right there with that product,’’ he said. U.S. Prius sales peaked at nearly 237,000 in 2012 with the introduction of wagon

and compact models. Gasoline averaged $3.63 per gallon that year, the most expensive year on record. But, since then, Prius sales have fallen to just over 207,000 last year. Through August sales are down 17 per cent from a year earlier. Sales of hybrid and electric cars generally fall when gasoline prices are low, but the drop during the past two years has been amplified by a global shift to small and large SUVs.
Gas-powered SUVs have become more efficient, with many smaller ones getting more than 30 miles per gallon on the highway. Buyers like the high seating position and gear-hauling capability of the SUVs, which range in size from the small Honda HR-V to larger vehicles like the Chevrolet Suburban. The Prius, first introduced in the U.S. in 2000, will have the best fuel economy for vehicles that aren’t plugged in for recharging,
the company said. An Eco model, to be introduced later, will get even better mileage. Toyota also upgraded the interior. It also gets a more rigid structure to protect people in a crash, and it will offer a safety package that features pedestrian detection and automatic, precollision braking. The new Prius arrives in dealerships early next year. The price wasn’t announced, but the current version starts at $24,200.

DRIVEWAY CANADA
EMPLOYEE PRICING
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 quality 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 deportment that was 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 they serve 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 blind spot 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, duallevel 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-theboard increase of roughly $400. The upscale climb includes the availability of an optional 1.6L turbocharged I-4 GDI engine harnessed to a segment-exclusive seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

ROAD TO ADVENTURE
Outdoor galore: Go off the grid this fall Enjoy a campfire, join the local 4X4 club for off-roading adventures
F
all campers can enjoy what summer campers were surely missing. Just in time for Labour Day Weekend, the campfire ban in the Kamloops Fire Centre was lifted. It was rescinded due to recent widespread precipitation, which resulted in a decreased risk of wildfires in the region. The fire danger rating is now primarily “low” to “moderate” throughout the fire centre. The campfire ban was enacted on July 3, two weeks earlier than last’s year’s prohibition, which went into effect on July 16. Last year, the campfire ban was lifted on Aug. 21. Those enjoying
campfires are reminded to follow the following safety procedures: • Have a shovel or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish your campfire. • Campfires cannot be larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide. • Do not light a campfire or keep it burning in windy conditions. Weather can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material. • You must maintain a one-metre fireguard around the campfire. This is a fuel-free area where all flammable materials (grass, kindling, etc.) have been removed. • Never leave a campfire unattended. • Make sure that the campfire is completely
The Kamloops 4X4 club calls Kamloops a four-wheel-drive paradise. Logging roads and trails are everywhere.
extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. • People who light campfires are legally responsible for making sure that they don’t escape. They may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs if their negligence results in a wildfire.
4X4 group is revving up
Kamloops is a fourwheel-drive paradise. Four-by-four users in the area congregate on a Facebook page called Kamloops 4x4, which has more than 1,900 members. The forum offers a place for users to learn about their truck, organize off-roading runs
and maybe even reach out for help when in a pinch up the mountain. The group also has a buy-and-sell aspect. Members are working on turning the group into a non-profit and establish itself as a land-user group that might be able to converse with government to determine where it’s legal and safe to wheel, and offer guidance on
how to curb garbage dumping and illegal wheeling. “We try to get people to go towards the tread lightly side of four-byfouring, just because, the way things are going right now, if we can try to keep people on the trails and out of the mud, it will make four-by-fouring look a little more friendly to people who don’t know

anything about it,” said group president Charlie Denbigh.” “We live in a four wheel drive paradise. “There’s rock, mud and trails all over the place. There are so many logging roads and trails around you can go from Kamloops to 100 Mile House without touching pavement.” While there hasn’t been many organized runs yet this year, Denbigh said they try to do at least three major runs per year and occasional day runs. The group also organizes clean-ups in areas of the backcountry that see a lot of dumping. Last year a clean-up in Batchelor Heights attracted over 100 trucks. Head over to Kamloops 4x4 on Facebook for everything off-roading in Kamloops.

Off road New Can-Am lineup BRP asserts itself as the off-road performance leader by delivering more of what consumers have been asking for: three new class-leading Rotax ATV engines, increased to 131 hp the flagship Can-Am Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo, and new specialized models for the 2016 Can-Am offroad lineup. “BRP aims to remain the performance leader of the global off-road industry,” said Anne Bélec, senior vice-president, Global Brand, Strategy and Information Systems. “We offer our customers the latest engine technologies
and industry-leading power in all ATV segments and a more powerful Rotax 1000R Turbo engine in the Maverick, Maverick X ds and new X rs sideby-side vehicles. More than ever, our customers can experience the ultimate ride and the latest technologies in the industry.” Rotax engineers optimized and upgraded three of the signature ATV engines: the 570, the 850 and the 1000R. With significant power and torque gains, the new engines offer Can-Am off-road vehicles a clear advantage over the competition. The new Maverick
1000R Turbo model, the most affordable factory-installed turbocharged sideby-side vehicle in the industry, along with the Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo and new Maverick X rs 1000R Turbo models are the most powerful in the industry. These models raise the performance bar with greater torque and an unprecedented 131 horsepower for an impeccable combination of power and handling. Along with the additional performance, BRP expands its Can-Am off-road family with specialty vehicles. The Outlander
BRP
The Can-Am Commander XT 1000 is amongst BRP’s latest lineup of Can-Am off-road vehicles.
L X mr 570 ATV makes mud riding more affordable than ever.
Can-Am Commander XT 1000 / XT 800R
The factoryinstalled, valueadded package on the Commander XT 1000 and Commander XT 800R side-by-sides include a 2,041 kilogram winch, cast-
aluminum wheels and two new color choices. All XT packages also include TriMode Dynamic Power Steering, Visco-Lok QE and much more. The Tri-Mode DPS system features three modes allowing riders to select the desired amount of steering assist for the terrain and performance. All modes offer less assist at high speed and more
assist at low speed. All DPS-equipped models come with the Visco-Lok QE calibration giving an even quicker engagement of the front differential. They can lock up to 100 per cent with no rev or speed limiter. This differential, unlike some competitor’s differentials, does not have a speed or rev limiter. Sturdy, lightweight, 14-inch cast-aluminum
wheels with black highlights are very attractive and strong. The dipped Brushed Aluminum and camo models’ cast aluminum wheels feature a unique painted black finish. The non-directional tires are very capable climbing and clawing across tough terrain and also absorb varying surfaces digital gauge.

Polaris: making the best sled even better
T
he allnew Polaris 800 PRORMK 155 answers the question: How does Polaris make the world’s best mountain sled even better? Polaris has raised the bar for deep snow performance by building the new 800 PRORMK 155 on an all-new AXYS chassis. This new platform, purpose built for mountain riding, features innovative engineering from ski toe to snow flap, and dramatically improves everything that matters to mountain riders. Built on the patented AXYS chassis, the 2016 800 PRO-RMK 155 provides deep snow riders with: • Instantaneous lift that allows the sled to pop up onto the snow and stays there • Rider-balanced
control that enhances every riding experience • Immediate response from a platform that is both rigid and light so it is easy to control and reacts instantly to rider input. This sled will enable the greatest number of riders to be more successful in the widest variety of conditions. The patented, raised AXYS chassis improves lift to get the 800 PRO-RMK 155 up on top of the snow immediately, and its increased clearance reduces drag, allowing the sled to stay on top. This is the lightest and most durable deep snow chassis. It maintains the RMK’s renowned riderbalanced positioning so the rider enjoys the ultimate in sled control and insane sidehilling capabilities. Polaris used

Polaris introduced the 800 PRO-RMK 155 early last spring, ahead of its full snowmobile lineup.
advanced design optimization to develop a chassis that is lighter yet stronger and more rigid. The redesigned rear suspension of the 800 PRO-RMK 155 is 3 lb. lighter and 15 per cent more rigid than before. Rigidity increases
responsiveness. With this morerigid chassis, the sled responds immediately and predictably to rider input. This makes it easier to ride by riders of all skill levels and, since less input is required, riders are less fatigued and can enjoy riding
longer. A Polaris-exclusive
mountain track — the all-new Series 6 2.6”
track — provides the ultimate performance in all riding conditions, including more traction and lift in deep snow. The 800 H.O. engine has proven itself in a full season of powering Polaris Trail Performance and Crossover sleds. It delivers outstanding acceleration and broad mid-range power, with horsepower that’s competitive with class-leading 800 engines. This quick-revving engine spools up rapidly, providing mountain riders with instant throttle response to generate sled lift.

On the road 2015 GMC Sierra Designed to deliver class-leading capability with enhanced comfort and smarter technologies, the 2015 GMC Sierra HD lineup advances a 111-year legacy of professional heavy-duty trucks. Segment-leading capabilities across the range include the highest payload – 7,374 pounds – and the highest conventional trailering rating – 19,600 pounds. The maximum fifth-wheel trailering rating is 23,200 pounds. Gas and Duramax diesel powertrains are offered, including a bifuel option that pairs the gas engine with a compressed natural gas system. “Sierra HD trucks
The 2015 GMC Sierra features easier-toreach, more intuitively located controls, more storage compartments and more plug-ins for electronic devices. GMC
are engineered without compromise to deliver not only the capability today’s heavy-duty truck customers demand, but the quality and refinement that inspire confidence with every task,” said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing. “We’ve been doing this for more than a century, and nobody knows trucks like GMC.” Bold styling and a more comfortable and technology-infused interior are carried forward from the 2014 Sierra 1500, including double cab and revised crew cab body styles. Larger rear doors on each, along with new seat designs, enable easy entry and exit from the
rear seat and two inches of additional legroom on crew cabs. The interior is also designed to help drivers and passengers whether they’re on the job or on a weekend getaway, with easier-to-reach, more intuitively located controls, more storage compartments, more plug-ins for electronic devices and the GMC IntelliLink infotainment system — with an eightinch-diagonal color touch screen. “Forget the notion that heavy-duty trucks are basic tools with a trailer hitch,” said DiSalle. “The 2015 Sierra HD trucks can haul the heaviest load with unmatched comfort and technology.”

The advantages of the new GLE also include best on-road and off-road handling, outstanding spaciousness and high levels of active and passive safety. The GLE impresses with ground-breaking assistance systems and the innovative dynamic handling control system, which offers extensive drive and off-road programs for even the base model. The unmistakable design with the hallmark C-pillar and the variable interior with the wellness factor of a luxurious sedan model
further enriches the Mercedes-Benz GLE experience. The GLE also impresses with an extensive engine line-up. Five equally efficient and powerful powertrain options with four, six or eight cylinders are available to choose from.
2016 GLE Coupe
The new GLE63 S Coupe 4MATIC combines the sportiness of a coupe with the strengths of an SUV. High agility, a distinctive engine sound and typical sports car acceleration are united with poise and assurance, tremendous pulling power and perfect traction.
The raised seating position and effortlessly unhurried superiority on the road, paired with typical AMG longitudinal and transverse dynamics and direct response to driver commands, result in an intense driving feel. The wide choice of different worlds of experience is based, among other things, on the Dynamic Select transmission modes, which for the first time permit such a wide spread of driving dynamics. The five transmission modes, which the driver is able to select using a rotary control on the center console, deliver fundamentally different driving dynamics.

D
id you know there is an association for Kamloops snowmobilers? The active club can provide a plethora of information about local trails and conditions. Here is what they have to say about riding in Kamloops. Go online to kamloopssnowmobile.com for more information.
The Kamloops Snowmobile Association (KSA) is an active club that would love to show you around our beautiful area. If you are a local resident and have not yet joined the KSA, we encourage you to do so and join the fun. Due to our central location the Kamloops area represents a unique opportunity for snowmobilers. We have access to all varieties of terrain from easy trails visiting lakes and high meadows, to steep and deep powder mountain riding. We have it all within an hour of all the facilities Kamloops can provide. The KSA has Stewardship Agreements covering two major riding areas each with a number of trails. Please note all snowmobile trails in the Kamloops area are combinations of inactive unplowed forest industry roads and snowmobile recreation trails. Riding snowmobiles on active forest industry roads is extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited by law. The Tod Mountain (Sun Peaks) area
The KSA has the latest updates on trail conditions, routes and forestry activity.
snowmobile trails, and the Tranquille Lake/Porcupine Ridge area snowmobile trails both have shelters, groomed trails and designated staging areas. The following are just some of the snowmobile trails in the Kamloops area. Riders are encouraged to contact the KSA prior to their trip to get updated information on riding, forestry activities, avalanche risks and conditions. Go online to kamloopssnowmobile.com for detailed maps of snowmobile routes in the Kamloops area.
Tranquille Lake/ Porcupine meadows
Porcupine Meadows Provincial Park is accessible by snowmobile only from Dec. 15 to April 15 annually. No other motorized access is allowed at any time. The area is accessed (40-minute drive from Kamloops) from the KSA Chalet at 31.5km on Sawmill Main FSR and through the Tranquille Lake area on trails groomed by the KSA. Trails within the Porcupine Meadows Park are not groomed by agree-
ment. This area is managed under agreement with the KSA, MoTSA (Ministry of Tourism, Sports and the Arts) and BC Parks. Trails outside of the Porcupine Meadows Park are comprised of unplowed forest industry roads and registered snowmobile trails. Porcupine Meadows is the highest elevation (1790m) between Kamloops and 100 Mile House on the west side of the North Thompson River . There are two shelters maintained by the KSA, one just outside the Park on the southern edge and an historic forestry fire lookout at the highest elevation. Limited services including fuel and snacks are available at Wendego Lodge on Tranquille Lake during normal business hours.
Jamieson Creek
Jamieson Creek just 30 minutes north of Kamloops on the west side of the North Thompson River. The area is accessed via active forest industry roads and snowmobilers gain access to trails made up of unplowed
roads and recreation trails to numerous meadow complexes and lakes. The area is isolated but easy riding.
Tod Mountain
Public access to the snowmobile trail system is through the Sun Peaks ski area village, a 45-minute drive from Kamloops. This area is managed under agreement with the KSA and MoTSA in cooperation with
Sun Peaks. The trails system extends from McGillivray Lake (1,400m) to the south to Mt Leslie (1,835m) to the north. There is access to the summit of Tod Mountain (2,133m) from the “Old Horse Trail” on the north east corner of Tod Mountain. Accessing the Tod Mountain alpine requires at least intermediate mountain riding skills. There are boundaries marked in the southern alpine on Tod Mountain defining the operational area of the Sun Peaks ski area which must be respected. The KSA maintains a shelter on the western flanks of Cahilty Mountain. Trails are groomed by Sun Peaks Adventure Tours and are made up of unplowed forest industry roads and recreation trails.
Lac Le Jeune
Located 20 minutes south of Kamloops, the Lac
Le Jeune area snowmobile trails run towards the south and east of Lac Le Jeune. The elevation is 1,300m to 1,680m. There are many other users in the immediate area of Lac Le Jeune that must be respected, such as cross country ski trail systems and local residents. This area is managed by agreement with the KSA and MoTSA (Ministry of Tourism, Sports, and the Arts). Once you are far enough south of Lac Le Jeune conflicts are less of an issue. The ungroomed trail system runs through picturesque rolling plateau terrain on unplowed forest industry and ranching roads, through numerous meadow complexes, lakes and old forest fire burns. Sightings of moose are common in this area, ice fishing is also popular. This area is also accessed through Edith Lake and Rossmore Lake. — kamloopssnowmobile. com

Ski-Doo technology: Precise landing, lighter weight
R
iding in deep snow in the mountains continues to grow in popularity, due in large part to the advancement of snowmobile technology that is making the unique and challenging mountain riding style easier for more and more riders. That surge began in earnest with the debut of the Ski-Doo Summit model in 1994 and rocketed forward with the REV-XP in 2008 and then REVXM platform in 2013, with dozens of features rethought and redesigned specifically for mountain riding. That surge was enabled significantly by the tMotion rear suspension and FlexEdge track technology designed to make boondocking near effortless.
Then for 2015, BRP debuted the T3 package, a collection of features centered around a 3 in. track lug — the tallest ever offered by an OEM. It was a smash hit, with riders across the world discovering how much easier it was to boondock with the added traction and flotation. For 2015, the T3 was offered alongside the standard X package. For 2016, all Summit X sleds include the T3 features standard, and BRP is offering T3 versions of the Summit SP 154, 163 and now 174 sleds for those whose riding styles or snow conditions call for the added traction. All Summit SP sleds also get the more precise handling and lighter weight RAS 2 front suspension. BRP has also seen tremendous interest in the use of snowmo-

biles by backcountry snowboarders and skiers to get to remote areas and as “mobile chairlifts.” For 2016, it is offering a Summit Burton package — the first factory equipped snowmobile for doing just that. Developed in collaboration with Burton
Snowboards, the world’s leading snowboard company, it takes a Summit SP, the best selling sled, and adds a LinQ system rack for carrying snowboard or skis, a special low profile 2-up seat for carrying the boarder and the driver. It also features a special coloration.
BRP
Ski-Doo Summit SP with T3 package
The top in-season Ski-Doo Summit snowmobile now can be acquired with the T3 package for added deep-snow ability. Available in 174,163 or 154 in. (442, 414, 392 cm) track lengths, the Summit SP with
T3 package adds 3 in. (7,62 cm) track lugs. The extra traction makes all mountain manoeuvres easier and calms the entire boondocking experience down — riding is less about momentum, so there’s more time to choose lines and make mid-course corrections. A host of efforts to reduce weight mean that while the T3 adds traction, there is virtually no added weight versus a SP with 2.5 in. (6.3 cm) lug track. • The REV-XM platform: Includes ergonomic package and bodywork specifically designed for deep snow riding. Maintains the REV-X platform’s light, yet strong chassis and flexible riding position. • tMotion rear suspension: A swivelling rear arm and split front arm allow the skidframe to flex laterally for easier roll up.
Rising-rate motion ratio adds capacity and comfort. New T3-specific geometry and lighter weight arms • HPG shocks: High Pressure Gas shocks by KYB are extremely capable. • Key features: New PowderMax track with FlexEdge: 3-in (7.62 cm) track lugs, the tallest ever offered by a sled manufacturer, dramatically increase traction. Several design modifications reduce weight by more than 2.43 lb (1.1 kg). Exclusive 16-in (41cm) wide design adds flotation and traction without sacrificing manoeuvrability. FlexEdge technology reduces the length of the fibreglass reinforcing rods to only 12 in (31 cm) wide, enabling the edges to flex – reducing the effort to initiate rollup.

2016 HR-V The all-new 2016 Honda HR-V crossover, unveiled at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, blends the styling of a coupe, the toughness, space and utility of a SUV and the quality of a Honda in one sporty, personal and versatile multidimensional vehicle. The well-equipped HR-V, which launched at Honda dealerships across Canada this summer, will enter the fast-growing entry crossover market with dynamic yet refined exterior styling, funto-drive performance, anticipated class-leading fuel economy ratings and unmatched interior spaciousness and cabin versatility.
Early arrival
The HR-V subcompact crossover arrived at Honda dealerships in June ahead of the originally announced on-sale date of July 10. Its blend of SUVlike versatility with a car-like drive wrapped in bold exterior styl-
ing puts the HR-V in a leadership position in one of the fastest growing segments in Canada. Available in LX, EX and EX-L Navi trims, the 2016 HR-V is powered by a highly refined and efficient 1.8-litre 4-cylinder 16-valve SOHC i-VTEC engine producing a peak 141 horsepower and 127 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is paired with one of two efficient and responsive Honda transmissions, a seamless and sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT), available on all models, or an engaging, short-shifting 6-speed manual transmission, available on LX and EX models with 2WD. The HR-V also targets class-leading safety ratings and features Honda’s nextgeneration Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure for enhanced frontal collision protection.

Fall & Winter Road To Adventure

ROAD TO ADVENTURE
Make the most of your RV in the fall and winter
M
any people think RVing is just for spring and summer, but did you know that you can have just as many adventures in fall and winter? With all the makes, models and brands of RVs, there’s a unit for every lifestyle, budget and family, and whichever RV you choose can provide a warm retreat for any activity. Here are just four ways you can have a fun fall and winter with your RV: • Hunting: If you like the ruggedness of hunting but would love to enjoy some comfort afterwards, an RV can provide all that and more. With storage for your guns and gear, a hot shower, a kitchen and a warm bed, you truly can enjoy the best of both worlds. • Rustic Thanksgiving feast: What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to be out in the stillness of nature. You can either prep
your meal ahead of time or cook a full feast at your campsite. Talk about a great way to wrap up the camping season and give thanks for all the adventures you had this year. • Cook-off with other RVers: Do you have friends with RVs? Go on a group outing and have a fall cookoff challenge. Form a panel with a person from each party and vote on the best dish then celebrate with a group potluck. • Snow fun: With so many sizes and types of RVs, you can pack along anything from skis and snowboards to snow shoes and snowmobiles for your favourite winter activities. Or maybe you just want to make a great snow angel! Whatever the sport, you can pop inside right after and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. RVing is all about fun, but your engine will be working harder in colder weather. Here are a few tips to keep in mind during fall and winter:
• Use your furnace according to your RV owner’s manual. • Have enough propane. • Bring a generator or solar panel and inverter for dry camping. • Install a carbon monoxide detector. • Inspect your seals. • Winterize your RV if you’re in freezing temperatures. • Keep the heat inside using weather stripping around exterior doors. • Fight off moisture and condensation. • Switch to weatherappropriate tires — and bring along a set of tire chains if you’re out in the snow. • Bring plenty of winter clothes — the warmer you feel, the less heat you’ll need! Want to know more about how to set yourself up for hassle-free RVing in the fall or winter? Don’t hesitate to call your friends at Fraserway RV – the place for everything RV since 1969.

Do you consider your RV as a summer-only ride? Think again.
Winterizing 101: Prep your RV • Step 1: Drain the system Drain your black water and then your grey water at a sani-dump. Next, drain your cold and hot water line drains. Be sure to put the plugs back on after draining or your antifreeze will drain out. Now, it’s time to drain your fresh water tank. Drain your hot water heater. First, alleviate pressure by opening up the hot tap in the kitchen or the relief valve on the water heater itself. The two main brands of hot water heater are Atwood and Suburban. If you have an Atwood heater, you’ll need a 7/8” socket with an extension. If you have a Suburban, you’ll need to remove the anode rod with a 1” 1/16 socket. Let the water drain out. • Step 2: Bypass your hot water heater. First off, you don’t need to put antifreeze in the hot water heater, fresh water tank, or grey and black water holding tanks. It’s the waterlines themselves you need to worry about because there’s no room to expand. Your heater will have a water line in the bottom – that’s the cold water going in. A hot water line comes out on the top which fills your hot water pipes. If there’s a middle pipe connecting those two water lines, that’s the bypass which prevents antifreeze from entering the water heater. Most units have this bypass already installed -— usually a one-, two- or threebypass valve system. With a three-valve system, make sure the valves on the cold and hot water lines are turned perpendicular to the line itself. Then turn the valve on the bypass so it’s parallel to the bypass line. On a two-valve system, turn both valves to that they’re perpendicular to the cold and hot water lines, and parallel to the bypass line. With a one-valve system, all
you need to do is close the valve so it appears perpendicular to the cold water line. Step 3: Connect antifreeze to the water pump. You’ll need to set up a temporary water pump bypass to get the antifreeze into your plumbing system. Have a few towels handy in case of dribbles, and disconnect the water pump from the fresh water tank on the water pump side. Screw in the temporary bypass to the pump side, then put the other end into a jug of RV antifreeze. In total, you’ll probably need two jugs of antifreeze. Step 4: Run all water outlets. Make sure the outside drain plug and all water taps are closed, and then turn on the water pump. Run everything individually. Run your hot tap in the kitchen until you see antifreeze and let it run for a second. Do the same with the cold tap. Run the hot and cold in the bathroom sink, then run the hot and cold in the tub, and make sure you run the shower head until you see antifreeze. Flush the toilet until you see antifreeze. Pour about a cup full of antifreeze down all drains. If you have an outside shower or taps, make sure you run them on the hot and cold side until you see antifreeze. Lastly, turn off your water pump. Step 5: Fill check-valve line (where you hook up your RV to city water). It’s very important to make sure your water pump is in the off position. Remove the screen attached to your city water hookup. Push in on the check valve inside (some water will spurt out) and hold it down until you see some antifreeze trickle back down that line. The last step is a crucial one, or you’ll be kicking yourself come springtime. Go back to the water pump and reconnect it.
