City to appeal ruling CAM FORTEMS

The City of Kamloops is appealing an arbitrator’s decision requiring it to return an employee to work who failed to complete duties and was dishonest when asked about them. The appeal is a first for the city, which has never before appealed a decision by a Labour Relations Board arbitrator. David Trawin, the city’s chief administrative officer, confirmed the Labour Relations Board has agreed to hear arguments on the arbitrator’s ruling. Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 900 grieved the firing of parks worker Joe Cupello, who had a previous record of four instances of misconduct on the job. The B.C. Labour Relations arbitrator who made the order ruled the city breached the collective agreement in dealings with the worker and ordered it reinstate him on the workforce.

New Democrat Bill Sundhu accused the Conservatives of sowing fear among senior citizens during an all-candidates debate yesterday, after an audience member questioned his party’s stance on income-splitting. The debate, held in front of Rotary Club members at Hotel 540, was the first time all four federal election candidates have squared off on Kamloops soil. An audience member said he had heard the NDP plans to end income splitting for seniors from a Conservative campaign mailout. “That’s false,” Sundhu said. “It is not our policy. We will keep income splitting for seniors,” Sundhu said the NDP plans to get rid of income splitting for working Canadians because of its expense and criticized the Conservatives for sending out the flyer. “It distorts the truth,” he said. Conservative Cathy McLeod said the flyer was from the national arm of her party, not her campaign, but highlights “discrepancies” in statements the NDP has made on pensions since the policy was introduced. “I’ve heard the leader of the opposition [NDP leader Thomas Mulcair] criticize income splitting,” she said. Both Liberal Steven Powrie and Green Matt Greenwood said their parties have stances similar to the New Democrats on the pension issue and would roll back income splitting
for Canadians who are not senior citizens. Other topics during the lunchtime debate included Syria and what social issues the party leaders ought to tackle in their next debate. But, it was the Rotary Club’s own four-way test that got a hefty slice of airtime as Sundhu, Greenwood and Powrie argued the Conservative government has hurt democracy and turned Canadians off of federal politics. “I feel like the Green party is the party that’s seriously saying we need the four-way test in government again,” said Greenwood in his opening statements. “Is it fair, is it true, does it create goodwill and friendship and is it beneficial?” Powrie picked up the thread and said his party would take a Rotary approach to bring advocacy and civility to an “acrimonious, adversarial and hyper-partisan” political system. Sundhu also criticized the governing party for what he called a “growing rancour” in Parliament, pointing to a list of Conservative decisions, from axing the long-form census to attack ads, as reasons to turf the Harper government. McLeod pointed to her own record in Ottawa where, as parliamentary secretary to the minister for health, her all-party committee was able to produce reports that garnered unanimous support. “The clerk of the committee said, ‘Wow, I haven’t had a unanimous report in 10 years.’ So, that’s what I feel I bring,” McLeod said.

Matt Greenwood wants to talk about Stephen Harper. Over the course of a conversation, the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Green candidate may hit on a range of topics — pipelines, the linguistic root of the word “parliament” and party leader Elizabeth May’s breakthrough run in the Saanich Gulf Islands. But, it all circles back to the country’s prime minister and the conservative values Greenwood said Harper has “sold out,” from closing Veterans’ Affairs district offices to controversial anti-terror Bill C-51, which he argues should upset Conservatives concerned about government intrusion into their lives. “All of this together forms a very clear pattern — and people need to
see the pattern,” Greenwood said. And, by people, he means Conservative voters. While the Green party’s environmental stance tends to take centre stage, Greenwood believes the Green platform will appeal to right-ofcentre voters who want to send the governing party a message — “the Green message,” in his words. “A lot of small-c conservative voters probably feel like they’re taken for granted,” Greenwood says. “I want to tell them that, by voting Green, they can send that message to the Conservatives — we can’t be taken for granted. “You can’t just assume that we’re yours to do whatever you want with.” This isn’t Greenwood’s first time on the ballot. In 2006, he picked up just under five per cent of the vote for the party in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo.

While he had hoped to run again in the following election, uncertainty about whether the start of the campaign would conflict with his university exams kept him out of the race. During this campaign, Greenwood is trying some different avenues to get his Green message out — including answering voter questions in the online comment section of news sites such as kamloopsthisweek.com. Off the campaign trail, Greenwood is an intake worker at ASK Wellness, connecting visitors to the office with the right services and programs. A self-described “link-a-holic,” he said he enjoys helping people find better information and help. “That’s what a constituency office is for, too,” Geenwood adds. “So, if you were going to ask what makes me qualified to be an MP, I’d say there’s that experience.”

LOCAL NEWS FISHY FACTS: • The inland demonstration fishery this year is licensed to take 3,100 chinook. • The fishing boat sets out five gillnets, harvested once every 24 hours. • Each is about 200 metres long, with eight-inch mesh designed to let other stocks pass. • The season is from Sept. 8 to Sept. 22. • The fishery employs members of the Skeetchestn Indian Band. • Caught salmon is available locally at RiverFresh and select grocers.

THE FUSS OVER THE INLAND FISHERY CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
F
or the nine years the inland fishery has operated off the shore of Savona, Don Ignace has fielded questions and concerns from people who wander down to the
shoreline. This year, Savona resident Wayne Penno set up an online petition demanding an end to this year’s chinook catch. “The damage being done to these delicate fish stocks in this extremely dry and trying year may be irreparable,” Wayne Penno wrote in an email. Officials with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and the Secwepemc Fisheries Commission contacted Penno earlier this week, offering to take him out to see the fishery. “I wish we could have a face-to-face with him,” said Ignace, who heads the inland fishery for the Skeetchestn Indian Band on contract with the commission. “There’s always an element that doesn’t understand what we’re doing and it’s a surprise.” Salmon stocks are imperilled this year due to extreme low water levels that make it dif-
ficult or impossible for salmon to make their way up some small tributaries. Aaron Gillespie, senior technician with the Secwepemc Fisheries, was one of dozens of people working recently at the Salmon River in the Shuswap to sandbag the river in order to create a single, fuller channel. “You keep hearing it’s low, then you see it yourself,” he said. On Friday, Gillespie was piloting a boat on Kamloops Lake, taking reporters on a tour of this year’s salmon fishery by the commission. In 2014, the commission utilized two purse seine boats to net tens of thousands of sockeye salmon headed for Adams River. In its first year, it used beach gillnets, catching only 60 fish in total. This year, the fishery is using gillnets and one smaller boat to target what are known as four-one chinook, a healthy resource amid endangered coho and erratic sockeye numbers that continue to baffle scientists. The chinook spend less than a year in freshwater and four at sea, hence the name. “Not too many fisheries you see a cowboy hat,” observed Murray Ross, as he watched Darrell Peters, a worker with the Skeetchestn Indian Band, pull fish from the gillnet as it was hauled in by a hydraulic drum. “This isn’t Tofino.”
Through years of lobbying, Shuswap First Nations garnered the right for a demonstration fishery to harvest salmon inland. They work closely with the DFO, including on the science front to gather DNA samples to better understand the fishery. On Friday, a DFO-appointed observer was on the deck of the boat where Peters and the other fishers worked to haul in Chinook headed for spawning in the South Thompson and Little rivers. Both the crew and DFO’s observer, who is onboard at random times, independently count bycatch. Penno said he declined the invite. He claims the fishery is unpopular in Savona. “They call it eight-inch squares, but it’s actually about two-and-a-half inches,” he said. (Nets are measured knot-to-knot while pulled tight, according to the Fisheries and Aquaculture Organization of the United Nations). Penno said the fishery has been run without talking to the local community. But, Ross said, the publicity about the fishery has been extensive, including in print and television stories in the past decade. Ronaye Elliott, local director for the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, said the fishery is not popular in Savona, particularly in a year when stocks are imperilled.
“They don’t have to consult us. They have the right to gillnet on the lake.” Penno said the fishery is unpopular in part because it interferes with local boaters. Elliott dismissed that, saying the lake is large and there’s lots of water eastward. But, she is sympathetic about fisheries concerns. “Everyone is concerned about this year’s fishery,” she said. “I think DFO should put a kibosh on a year like this.” Ignace said between 30 and 50 sockeye can be expected to be snagged each day of the fishery, which lasts about two weeks. Ross acknowledged the DFO is concerned about sockeye bycatch in a year when only a few thousand will make it to the Adams River. Sockeye killed by the net are sent to the First Nations food fishery in a year when bands have little or no access to salmon. Those that may survive are gently returned to the lake. Chinook and pink salmon netting are returned to shore, where they are iced in preparation for processing at a Surrey plant. From there, they are made into smoked and candied product at a facility in Nanaimo. The resulting RiverFresh salmon is sold at the store in the Mount Paul Industrial Park, in smaller grocers and in some local restaurants.

Kamloops council heads to UBCM ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER

Another meeting on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Kamloops is on the agenda as Kamloops’ mayor and council head to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention this week. The annual convention runs until Friday in Vancouver and will include the usual slate of meetings with provincial ministers and debate on resolutions from communities around the province. Mayor Peter Milobar said most of council will attend the convention this year, with only Coun. Tina Lange absent. On the Ajax front, Milobar said he mainly wants to update the province on the city’s review of the mine’s environmental application. “It’ll just be updating them on our

process around getting public feedback, making sure they’re aware of when we’ll be submitting our comments so they’re alive to our timelines,” Milobar said. The city plans to hire SLR Consulting to review the 18,000 pages of studies on the mine’s impact that make up KGHM Ajax’s application, and will host a town hall meeting on Monday, Sept. 28, to gather residents’ questions on the project. Milobar said he’ll also be looking for more information on Multi-Material BC, a new recycling program that was supposed to cover the costs of curbside recycling for municipalities. Kamloops has been stuck on the wait list for more than a year. The city also has two resolutions before this year’s convention. One asks the provincial and federal governments to simplify the disability tax credit application process, while the other
Faculty at Thompson Rivers University meet tomorrow for an update on bargaining. When bargaining began in February, TRU faculty association
targets a spending freeze at BC Transit, which put on hold a planned 6,000-hour bus expansion that was supposed to roll out in Kamloops this fall. The motion is one of several from various municipalities and regional districts calling for the province to reconsider its transit funding plans. It’s likely a similar motion from the Lower Mainland Local Government Association will be up for debate and endorsement instead. Biosolids are the subject of another resolution from the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The TNRD wants the province to form a committee with local government representation to review the rules governing where and how biosolids are used in B.C. Other resolutions at this year’s convention include calls for Internet voting in the 2018 local government election, the return of the federal long-form census and universal, publicly-funded birth control.
president Tom Friedman said a key area would focus on how the university hires faculty on a limited-contract basis to teach alongside other instructors who have
tenure (their hiring is permanent). Friedman has also said faculty wants to have a greater role in running the university, something they feel they were promised.

The arbitrator agreed with the city that Cupello wrongly ticked off a duty sheet he was supposed to complete confirming he cleaned up at a number of parks in March of 2014 — duties he did not perform. “I have also concluded that the assertion of potential mistake was itself a somewhat dishonest attempt to avoid accountability,” the arbi-
trator said of Cupello’s claims. Despite those failings and Cupello’s record of earlier problems, the arbitrator ruled the city failed to give Cupello proper notice about the disciplinary meeting that ended in him being fired. The arbitrator also ruled the city wrongly suggested the shop steward who should attend. Those failings,

the arbitrator found, breached a section of the collective agreement. Trawin said he can’t discuss the case in detail, but the city argues reinstating Cupello was an error.
The arbitrator ordered Cupello reinstated with lost wages, seniority and benefit. Cupello was ordered he serve a 30-day suspension without pay for his actions. “To put him back
in the workforce is the wrong decision,” Trawin said. The Labour Relations Board can confirm the arbitrator’s decision or send it back to the arbitrator for revision, he said.

FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE After hockey, it didn’t take long for Rudy Poeschek’s life to go off track
TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
n 1997, as an unrestricted free agent, Rudy Poeschek signed with the St. Louis Blues. And that’s where it all began to unravel. “I was there, I was playing probably the best hockey of my career, then I got hit funny and my back started feeling a little bit funny,” he said. But, Poeschek kept playing. Ten games later, after a fight with Calgary’s Darren McCarty, something felt very wrong. “When I was sitting in the penalty box, I was like, ‘This doesn’t feel very good,’” he said. “When the penalty was over, I went straight to the dressing room.” Poeschek said doctors were hesitant to operate on his back and told him to take a few days and see how he felt. “They said, ‘Wait until Monday and come back,’” he said. “It was Sunday and I was cooking and I just bent down to get a pan or a dish and, as I stood up, my disc just blew apart.” He was on the operating table the next day. “Up until that point, I’d played every game in St. Louis,” Poeschek said. “I was getting quite a bit of ice time. I ended up getting back that year, playing the last few regular-season games, but it wasn’t the same.” After three years in St. Louis — two of which saw limited ice time — Poeschek said he felt great, but was seen by other teams as damaged goods. “So, then, nobody wants you because you didn’t play much the last couple years,” he said. “I knew I could still play,

but I guess nobody wanted to take a chance on me.” In 2001, Poeschek was one of the last cuts at the San Jose Sharks’ training camp. He would spend that season toiling in the IHL with the Houston Aeros and never again suit up for an NHL team. *** Chronic traumatic encephalopathy does not have to be a consequence of playing hockey, football or another contact sport, according to Chris Nowinski, the executive director of the Bostonbased Concussion Legacy Foundation and himself a former football player and professional wrestler who suffered multiple head injuries. “This is an almost entirely preventable disease that we’re often giving to teenagers,” he said. “I can’t tell you how to prevent Alzheimer’s, but I can tell you how to prevent CTE — don’t get hit in the head.

“It’s such an easy fix. Brains were never meant to be hit like that. “We need to change the way we play our sports.” Nowinski said CTE only came to the forefront in recent years when researchers started studying the brains of dead athletes. “We finally started researching it,” he said. “It was a neglected disease. Most people thought it was only in boxers, but now we’ve found it in mainstream sports that our kids play — and our idols.” *** “Disappointment.” That’s how Poeschek describes life after hockey. Living in Tampa Bay, his wife’s hometown and the city in which he was most celebrated for his tough-guy presence on the ice, he started working as a mortgage broker. “I didn’t know what I was doing with my life,” Poeschek said. “I was trying to figure out how to be happy — just the way hockey went, the

disappointment of getting injured. “I just didn’t know what to do. I wanted to be happy. I had a wife and a daughter, she was two or three.” Then, after tweaking his back, he was prescribed pain pills. “I noticed that the painkillers helped everything, not just my back,” he said. “So, I got addicted to pain pills. “Even while I was writing mortgages, I took Percocet just to get rid of the headaches.”
Poeschek said he soon found himself in a downward spiral after losing the majority of his life savings in the stock market. “I just got stressed out from, financially — pissed off at the world because I thought I did all the right things, putting my money in mutual funds,” he said. “But, I was overloaded on the Nasdaq and lost probably 70 per cent of my portfolio. “It was just a kick in the teeth. “These things add up.”
In the three years that followed a failed comeback attempt with Tampa Bay in 2002, Poeschek was arrested eight times in Florida, culminating in a spectacular demolition derby in his upscale neighbourhood on March 13, 2005. Under Florida law, Poeschek’s licence was suspended at the time because he had missed a childsupport payment to his first wife. “But, I was in a mindset that I hated the world,” he said.

“It does cross my
mind. I try not to think about it too much. I probably hide what I’m thinking a lot of the time.” — RUDY POESCHEK, DISCUSSING NHL ENFORCERS WHO HAVE DIED PREMATURE DEATHS
DAVE EAGLES/KTW
“I was like, ‘F--- you. Everyone can f--- off.’ I was popping pills and I didn’t care.” On that day in March 2005, after two previous citations for driving without a licence, Poeschek got into his Lexus SUV with his fiveyear-old daughter and set off for a nearby McDonald’s. A dog bolted across the street, Poeschek said, and he swerved off the road and into a palm tree. “I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt so I smoked my head,” he said. Dazed and bleeding with his daughter in the backseat, Poeschek turned the car around and headed for home. But, he passed out and the vehicle left the road, driving over multiple lawns and taking out his neighbours’ mailboxes before coming to rest at the base of another palm tree. After a neighbour removed his daughter from the vehicle, Poeschek said, he set off to find his wife. “I wanted to talk to her, and then some kid saw me and said, ‘There he is,’ and I ended up running,” he said.
“The cops were afraid of me or something and they ended up Tasering me.” Even before the crash, Poeschek was planning to move his family back to Kamloops. “I was already planning on it because my parents are here,” he said. “And, it was part of going to court. My attorney told court, ‘They’re moving to Canada where he’s got family.’” During his three-week stay in a Florida jail, Poeschek sold his suburban Tampa home. “So, I got out of jail and had maybe three weeks to pack up the house,” he said. *** Hockey is leading the pack in many ways when it comes to taking steps that will help prevent CTE. “There have been some successes, and a lot of the successes have been in hockey,” Nowinski said. “There’s robust conversation about when you introduce checking, which could prevent potentially millions of hits to the head.” *** When he arrived in

Kamloops, Poeschek still had no idea what to do with his life. “I tried selling cars,” he said. “You’d have these guys come in and they just came from Alberta working in the oil industry and they had all this money.” So, Poeschek got a job working for a drilling company in Alberta. After being temporarily laid off, he turned his attention to mining. “That’s what made things better — getting in the mining industry,” he said. “I like it. It’s a good group of guys. There’s some camaraderie, kind of like hockey. When I’m there, I have roommates. It’s almost a little bit like being on the road.”

Life back in B.C. has not been without its problems, though. Last summer, Poeschek found himself in a situation eerily similar to what happened in Florida. In February 2014, he was slapped with a one-year driving prohibition — but he continued to drive, to and from work in Princeton, and also ran errands in the family vehicle. Then, on July 5, 2014, there was an accident. Poeschek backed into another vehicle in a Tranquille Road parking lot. “I kind of had a flashback feeling to Tampa,” he said. “I effed up backing up and I hit a car and I just felt like the world was crashing down on me.” Knowing he was prohib-
ited from driving, Poeschek hoped to settle the collision without insurance or police. But, the woman whose car he struck called 911. That’s when he shoved her while trying to take back his vehicle paperwork. “I was trying to grab my papers back,” he said. “I acted stupidly. I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone. I didn’t even realize what I was doing with the emotions.” After fleeing the scene, returning and then fleeing again, Poeschek was charged with assault and driving while prohibited. Later the same day, he was pulled over on Highway 5A and charged again with driving while prohibited. In the months that followed, Poeschek was arrested two more times for driving while prohibited. In Kamloops provincial court last week, he was sentenced to 45 days in jail, a six-month conditional sentence order and an 18-month probation term. He was also ordered to pay a $1,500 fine and banned from driving for two years.
*** Poeschek wakes up each morning knowing that many of his former on-ice combatants have died premature deaths. “It does cross my mind,” he said. “I try not to think about it too much. I probably hide what I’m thinking a lot of the time.” When Bob Probert died in 2010 — a massive heart attack at the age of 45 — Poeschek said he wondered if he might follow. “First off, I was sad,” he said. “I knew everything he gave to the game. “With a guy like that, it makes you wonder, too. We had similarities in our fighting styles. We didn’t mind taking a punch to make a punch.” Poeschek said he would like to donate his brain to CTE research — but, hopefully, not for a long time. “I think it would be a good idea,” he said. “Hopefully it’s no time soon. “It’s something that you don’t want to think about, but it’s a good idea.”

PROMISES ARE PLENTIFUL
I
f elected, the New Democrats may cancel income splitting for seniors — or so a Conservative campaign mailout suggests. Of course, the local NDP team was quick to respond to the mailout and reiterate that income-splitting for seniors will continue if Thomas Mulcair and his team form government. Then again, there are questionable quotes by NDP candidates elsewhere and, as Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod noted in today’s story on page A10, the New Democrats did vote against income splitting for seniors when the bill was in the House of Commons. What to believe, what to believe . . . With the marathon federal election campaign now in view of the Oct. 19 finish line, hundreds of candidates have made thousands of vows, while the leaders of the four main parties have almost daily unveiled plans. Whether it is the Conservatives promising to match, dollar for dollar, donations raised countrywide in the annual Terry Fox Run, or the Liberals vowing to scrap the multibillion-dollar purchase of 65 F-35 stealth fighters, or the New Democrats planning to give $28 million for Sport Canada to help poor and disadvantaged youth to play sports (announced in Kamloops), or the Greens proclaiming that all student loans over $10,000 will be forgiven — there is plenty being said and much to remember for the earnest voter. Claims are just that — claims — until the time arrives for party leaders to walk the walk and not simply talk the talk. To help you, dear Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo voter, navigate through all the promises that have left the lips of Harper, Trudeau, Mulcair and May, we have a collection of what the parties have vowed as they seek your vote. To peruse the promises, simply go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the Federal Election tab. We will work to keep the promises updated as we near election day. We promise.

We are all many Canadians
S
tephen Harper has unearthed my secret: I was once an Old Stock Canadian. It’s true — and I was an Old Stock Canadian while living under the roof of a staunch Carling Canadian. I was an Old Stock Canadian because, quite frankly, we Old Stock Canadians knew we were better than other Canadians — exactly one per cent better, in fact, which counted for a lot in the teen years. When I moved to Alberta for college, I became an Old Vienna Canadian, a type of Canadian that was truly indicative of the Wild Rose way since, at that time, there were no such thing as Old Vienna Canadians in British Columbia. You just couldn’t find them anywhere. From Abbotsford to Atlin and from Tofino to Trail, Old Vienna Canadians simply did not exist. In Alberta, though, Old Vienna Canadians thrived. It was as though someone had built a firewall around the province to limit the extent to which aggressive and hostile federaldominated types of Canadians could encroach upon legitimate provincial jurisdiction. Back in B.C. following college, I discarded my Old Vienna Canadianness (out of necessity). I hooked up with some old friends and briefly flirted with again becoming an Old Stock Canadian, but, even though I would be that much better than other Canadians, doing so left a bitter taste in my mouth — literally.

MUSINGS As I began my career, I imbibed in various taste tests of Canadianness. I was a Kokanee Canadian, which coincided with a very brief outdoor period. I became a Blue Canadian, which blended well with moody days. I was a Guinness Canadian, a Bud Canadian, a Sleeman Canadian and a Pabst Blue Ribbon Canadian. When times were tight and there were mere pennies in my pocket, I was an enthusiastic Lucky Canadian. At one point during a hot summer, I even became a Canadian Canadian. Alas, during this incarnation, I learned full well that viewing life as a Canadian Canadian through glass is much more preferable than doing so through tin. So, to Justin Trudeau: Is a Canadian a Canadian a Canadian? Not always. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BRIDGE WORK TREMENDOUS
EDITORIAL CARTOON CROSSED THE LINE Editor: I cannot believe Kamloops This Week would print the Sept. 19 Ingrid Rice cartoon of a dead little boy, driven by a political agenda, and think it is fair comment. Our duly elected government follows rules that are in place to safeguard our country. To blame the stupidity of a father on the present government is absurd. This is way over the top and gutless. Perhaps you might want to place a cartoon about a very stupid smuggler of people who would endanger his family in a boat that had no chance of going anywhere on the sea. Ask the father, not our government, why his child is dead because these people did not get their way. Clarence Schneider Kamloops
CARTOON WAS ‘SICK’ Editor: Your cartoon depicting the child on the beach was sick and borders on hate-mongering. Roy Kahle Kamloops
Editor: I was disappointed to hear negative feedback about the joints on Overlanders Bridge and wanted to share my thoughts on the reconstruction project. I am a bit of an expert as I live on the South Shore and work on the North Shore and cross the bridge dozens of times a week, both ways at many different times of the day. I also bring some expertise from living in Calgary and driving through many construction zones that required patience and a lot of waiting time. My experience in Kamloops: • I have never waited more than a few minutes to
cross the bridge. • Our food bank delivery truck crosses the bridge two times a day each way and we anticipated delays in arrival times. Honestly, the delays have been minimal and mostly non-existent. • There has always been clear traffic direction and friendly staff (many of them smile and nod at every vehicle driving by). • The communication from the team at the city has been exceptional. I did not seek any timelines or information regarding changes on my own and yet I knew of progress and every change days before it happened. • The city’s presence in the newspaper, in other media and on social media ensured every driver
in Kamloops was kept informed. • The education and awareness of the zipper merge worked. The majority of drivers understand and are using it. • I never felt the joints on the bridge deck and, even if I did, it wouldn’t be a priority as my focus was and continues to be on the incredibly good job the contractors and the city are doing. • Every project has its unknown and unanticipated occurrences. In my opinion, the city has handled them with professionalism, expertise and strong preplanning. Bernadette Siracky executive director Kamloops Food Bank
CITY NEEDS TO SMOOTH OUT RIDE Editor: Re: (‘Bridge bumper stumper: City explains why revamped span will not be 100% smooth ride,’ Sept. 17): Is the city trying to tell Kamloops taxpayers this $10-million dollar renovation to Overlanders Bridge won’t include some steel plating cut out to a thickness that would level out those dropped dips at each section? Who knows — an idea like this may even aid the life of the asphalt paving that adjoins to it. Smooth it out. Let’s have some more imaginative thinking here, please.
It would sure be nice to hear some solutions offered and implemented for $10 million worth of bridge renovations. Someone, perhaps a design engineer, must surely have an answer to remedy this rather bumpy and deplorable situation. Let’s apply it before the contractors are gone.

NDP claims Conservative mailout info ‘not true’ CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The two started a war of words over a campaign mailout by the Conservatives featuring a statement by New Democrat candidate Erin Weir in which she is quoted as
Imagine
The Conservative party is misrepresenting the NDP’s stance on pensions, local New
Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu has charged. But, Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod said her campaign literature is only pointing out the NDP’s stance on pensions.
saying “Pension incomesplitting and TFSAs are definitely turns for the worse.” This, Sundhu said, “stretched the bounds of truth-telling.” At issue is the two parties’ stance on pensions and income splitting. “The leaflet’s suggestion that the NDP is opposed to pension income-splitting is simply not true,” Sundhu said in a statement. The NDP has promised to end incomesplitting for two-income families brought in
for this year by the Conservatives, but it will not tinker with incomesplitting for seniors. It has also pledged to roll back extra tax-free savings account (TFSA) amounts from the new limit of $10,000 a year. McLeod countered the NDP voted against income splitting for seniors when the bill was in the House of Commons. “To be frank, if they [NDP] were elected, I do not have confidence they would keep this provision in place,” McLeod said.
Where they stand: NDP: - roll back TFSA contribution limit - end income splitting, but continue for seniors - bring back age 65 eligibility for Old Age Security - expand CPP benefits Conservative: - continue income splitting for families and seniors - lengthen age of eligibility to 67 for OAS - increase TFSA contribution to max $10,000 a year Liberal: - roll back TFSA contribution limit - end income splitting, but continue for seniors - bring back age 65 eligibility for Old Age Security - expand CPP benefits Green: - return old age benefits to 65 - replace social security benefits with a guaranteed annual income
Bus-stop blues on Tranquille Road ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A bold vision for the heart of the City Authorized by the City of Kamloops. For more information, email pacinfo@kamloops.ca.
A North Shore health clinic says moving the bus stop in front of its doors is a matter of patient safety. Neighbours down the block say it would cripple their businesses. Now, city council will have to decide who gets the stop or find another solution to the dispute on Tranquille Road. Norkam Health Centre manager Patti Aldrich has asked the city to create a loading zone in front of her clinic’s doors and move the bus stop located there up the street. Aldrich said patients who use the walk-in clinic or private practices at Norkam are constantly using the bus stop as a drop-off zone already, since many are elderly or have mobility issues. That has created friction with bus drivers, who will blast their horns at patients who are in the stop, even if they don’t have passengers to pick up in front of the clinic.
The clinic does have a parking lot behind it, as well as an elevator, but Aldrich said there is no back door leading into the clinic. She said one can’t be added due to the layout of the building, so patients will still have to walk farther than they would from the loading zone to get into the building. City staff have identified another spot for the bus stop in the 300-block of Tranquille, but engineering manager Deven Matkowski said it hasn’t taken action because businesses on the block object. Council has asked staff to create a report on the consequences of moving the bus stop. “I’d like to see if we can work something out to help these people out,” Coun. Arjun Singh said. Coun. Donovan Cavers suggested business owners may not be aware of the benefits of having a bus stop, adding the city should look at providing them
with more information. However, several business owners said their biggest worry is on-street parking that will be lost if the stop is moved to their block. Melissa Baker of Mel’s Hair Salon said like Norkam, many of her clients are elderly and prefer to park on the street in front of her store — space that’s already at a premium due to a bus stop across the street and several blocks to the south without onstreet spaces. “If the bus stop goes in front of my salon, there is no parking for anybody and then there’s no businesses coming to the North Shore because people won’t want to come down here because it’s hard enough to find a parking spot,” she said. Joy Bradley owns Nine Lives Thrift Shop and is also worried about what will happen if the parking spots go. “It’s just going to ruin our businesses, it’s not fair,” she said.

A Special message from the President and Board of Directors Our Executive Director has provided an excellent review of our purposeful activities over the past 60 years. However, there remains an opportunity for the Board of Directors to offer a few thoughts and comments. We consider it a privilege and an honour to be serving the Boys and Girls Club during our 60th anniversary. Truly, we are thankful to the many previous directors who served the Club over the past 60 years. With a strong Club vision and mission, and relatively healthy financial position, it will continue to be our pleasure serving the children, youth and families of this community with the valuable assistance from our generous partners and sponsors. This venture is immensely worthwhile, as we see and hear of the numerous life changing success stories surrounding children, youth and families. We believe our future efforts will indeed continue to be challenging but significantly worthwhile. With financial help from the community, our volunteers and our staff and your directors are ready and willing to move forward joyfully serving the community of Kamloops. We are prepared for entry into another 60 years of service, challenge and opportunity.
The Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops has been impacting lives since 1955. As part of a National organization, the Boys and Girls Club is strategic in all programs and services offered. Although we are intentional in our approach, for the members it’s about fun and connection. Looking back over the last 60 years of archived newspaper articles, photos and memorabilia, I found myself being curious of the story behind each photo. Where are all these kids now? What was the experience of the thousands of kids who have been a part of the Club? As the 12th Executive Director in the last 60 years, I realize what an honour this role is. I’ve been with the Club for 20 years, and looking at pictures of people and events sparks fond memories. Most past and current employees would agree it is the sense of purpose and giving back to our community that gives us so much pride in our work. It isn’t just a job, it is something greater. It gets in your blood and shapes your purpose.
the very beginning our goals have been simple: strengthening our community and ‘growing children into the citizens of tomorrow’. That was our tag line in the 60’s, and the same statement applies today. The term, ‘it takes a whole community to raise a child’ is never more true than it is today and Boys and Girls Clubs has been a partner in so many initiatives and working groups that have helped to shape our community in Kamloops.
We simply cannot do what we do without the support of incredible donors and partners. Thousands of children, youth and families have Thousands of individuals and businesses have walked through our doors and developed a sense supported our efforts, from the very first mothers of belonging and connection which keeps them auxiliary back in the late coming back throughout the 1950’s, to the multi-year years. For some families, We are a community minded corporate and private funders multiple generations. It’s organization that makes every of today. The City of Kamloops about relationships and being effort to live up to our Core has been a pillar of support, a part of something that Values of Belonging, Respect, from the early conversation goes beyond programming Encouragement, Working with founders Keith Pattinson and services. We are about Together and Speaking Out. and Harold Foulger in 1954, people and we look forward No one is turned away. to the present day with the to meeting more Club alumni support of our newest facility and charter members at our at John Tod Centre. We have so many people to 60th anniversary. We have a lot of photos and thank and celebrate. articles to share and we’re hoping the community can help us identify some of the faces in our We are a community minded organization that photos. makes every effort to live up to our Core Values Over the last 60 years the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops has evolved to fit the needs of the community, offering relevant programs and services. We are strategically placed in neighbourhoods that need us the most, and where communities have requested our services. We’ve grown tremendously over the years, moving from recreational programs for boys to encompassing the entire family with wrap around services. We learned along the way that our preventative approach needs to support the entire family, not just children. In addition to our afterschool programs we’ve expanded services to include: First Steps, which supports young mothers to achieve their grade 12 education by providing child care services for their children; Youth programs, including a leadership council and late night programs providing youth a safe place to go in the evenings; Power Start, which ensures children are transported to school and fed a nutritional breakfast each school morning; and Family Development programs, which support parents in a variety of services which strengthen families. Today we serve children as young as 1 month all the way up to grandparents. One common theme in our programs is food! We feed hundreds of children and families each day, last year we served over 140,000 meals and snacks. From
of Belonging, Respect, Encouragement, Working Together and Speaking Out. No one is turned away. We invite the community to join us in celebrating our 60th Anniversary. Attendees can enjoy a wonderful BBQ hosted by the United Steel Workers local 7619. Old fashioned games and mini carnival activities for the whole family will be offered by our youth members. There will be opportunities to share memories and connect with current and alumni staff and members. We’ll have memorabilia and photo albums to look through, and we’ll be opening our doors to the whole community. Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of the Boys and Girls Club and the role we play in Kamloops offering relevant programs and services to so many in several neighbourhoods and schools in Kamloops. We are a part of many networks all working together to improve our community, leveraging impact with the strength of many hands. We often receive feedback in statements such as “I had no idea about all that you do!” We struggle to promote and celebrate all we do because, quite frankly - we are busy doing the work! However, on September 25th we are going to pause and celebrate to share what we do! We sure hope you can join us.

ball to himself and falling on it for the try. Levitt converted . “Having him [Levitt] here and having a steady hand to tell the troops, ‘Calm down, I’ve got this,’ is great. He was solid,” Pue said. Kamloops added another score when its forwards formed a maul and surged into the in-goal area for the game’s final try. Greg Thomson was the beneficiary and Levitt made no mistake on the conversion. Next up for the Raiders is a tilt against the Brit Lions of Delta on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m. at the Ranch in Rayleigh. “It was a good front-up for the boys to knock out some of the cobwebs,” Pue said. “It was good to get everybody a taste of running today. It showed on the scoreboard we’ve got a fair amount of depth past the first 15.”

W
hile the rest of the rugby world was busy basking in the afterglow of Japan’s historic victory over traditional powerhouse South Africa at the World Cup in England, the Kamloops Raiders were kicking off a new era in style. With recently hired head coach Derek Pue roaming the sidelines, the Raiders downed the Kelowna Crows 49-29 at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh on Saturday. Don’t be fooled by the 20-point winning margin, as the game was closer than the scoreline suggests. The Crows were within one score of the lead late in the second half before the Raiders pulled away. “The two big things we talked about were physicality and character,” said Pue, whose charges moved to 1-0 in men’s Lower Mainland Division 3 B.C. Rugby Union play. “What are you going to do when things go wrong?” Things had gone awry and Kamloops was down eight points at halftime, but the Raiders — buoyed by a 34-point performance from captain Cole Levitt — were not to be denied. “We knew we could hang with them physically, but it was whether we could mentally,” Pue said. “They picked each other up. I was happy.” It took about 15 minutes for Kamloops to break through in the first half, with Joe Castellano accepting a looping pass from Jose Melara and rumbling in to score. Levitt converted the try and bagged one of his own shortly after to make it 12-0. The inside centre converted his own tally and it was 14-0. Perhaps it was the Raiders’ second score that woke up the Crows, who were undermanned and late arriving to the field for warm-up.

Cole Levitt of the Kamloops Raiders left several Kelowna Crows in his wake on this burst upfield at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh on Saturday. Kamloops won 49-29. For more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.
Kelowna scored the next 22 points and took a 22-14 lead into the break. Kamloops big man Erik Rissanen finished a well-worked try early in the second half and Levitt booted the conversion to make the score 22-21 in the Crows’ favour. With under 20 minutes to play, the Raiders earned a scrum in prime attacking position and the ball again made its way to Levitt, who shrugged off tacklers to touch down for a try. His unorthodox, wobbly conversion kick knuckle-balled through the uprights to give the Raiders a 28-22 lead. Adversity arrived for the home team when second-half substitution Nick Smith was assessed a yellow card for elbowing an opponent and was vanquished to the sin
bin for 10 minutes. With Smith looking on helplessly and his team down to 14 men, Kelowna’s forward pack pushed over the line for a try, giving the Crows a one-point lead, 29-28. The Levitt Show continued following the ensuing kickoff, when a Kelowna knock-on gave Kamloops another scrum in scoring position. Rory McKerchar set up Levitt with a deft pass and the man of the match did the rest, forcing his way through a murder of Crows to tally once more. Levitt slotted another conversion to give Kamloops a 35-29 lead and, with time winding down in the second half, Jordan Pritchard put the game to bed, blocking a Kelowna clearance kick, chipping the loose

Head coach Scott Tindall was not expecting so much from his team in its first match of the season. The Kamloops Raiders ran away from the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna to post a 43-19 victory in women’s Lower Mainland Division 1 B.C. Rugby Union play in the Tournament Capital on Saturday. “I thought we were going to be a bit rusty,” said Tindall, noting numbers had not been great at practice heading into the first game of the season. “We had good ball movement from the backs, considering four of them hadn’t played together.” Riley Halvorson starred for the home team, scoring a hat trick of tries to lead the team in that category. Lindsay Stobbe, Jordan Klaws, Kalea Nokleby and Kaitlyn Cumming also dotted down for Kamloops and Jess Oldenburger pitched in with the boot, making good on four conversions. Jordan Pittman, Danielle Fearns and Hayley Fiebelkorn had tries for Kelowna. The Raiders are hosting the Brit Lions of Delta on Saturday. Game time is 11:30 a.m. at the Tournament Capital Ranch.

A space in the Kamloops Storm’s goal wasn’t empty for long. After netminder Jake Mullen — the Storm’s incumbent starter heading into the 2015-2016 season — was picked up by the junior A Okotoks Oilers, Kamloops was in the market for another tender. Enter Tavin Grant, who played last season for the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League. Grant was the odd man out in a crowded crease in the Cariboo city and was reassigned to the Storm earlier this week. “Basically, Prince George is sending him so he gets a lot more quality starts here, than there as a backup,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said. “For them, it’s more that he’s their goalie of

the future. There’s no sense in him sitting on the bench.” The 17-year-old will slot in as Kamloops’ starting netminder. At 6-foot-2, he’s a big body and will no doubt provide stability behind a young Storm defensive corps. In 18 games with the Cougars last season, Grant posted an 4.64 goals-against average
and a .849 save percentage. The numbers aren’t sterling but, as a franchise, the Cougars surrendered more goals than any other team in the Western Conference. Grant is expected to arrive in Kamloops this week and should be with the club for a home-and-home series against the Sicamous Eagles this weekend. The Storm will
square off against the Eagles on Friday at McArthur. Game time is 7 p.m. Sicamous will host the rematch on Saturday. Patterson spoke to Grant on the phone and said the Burnaby product was understandably upset about his reassignment. But, he’ll be out to prove something when he takes the ice in Kamloops — all the better for the Storm. “He’s devastated, upset about the news, but realizes why they’re doing it,” Patterson said. “I even talked to him about my days in Pittsburgh [with the NHL’s Penguins], when I sat on the bench for two years and became a worse player and it didn’t do me any good. “As a young guy, you have to play and he agrees 100 per cent.”
Storm split
Mullen played his
final game for the Storm on Saturday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre in a rematch against the Kimberley Dynamiters — the team that ousted Mullen and the Storm from the KIJHL championship last season. Dante Raposo sealed the Storm’s third victory of the season with an overtime winner. Kamloops (3-1) won 3-2 when Raposo tallied in the second overtime period, marking his second goal of the game. Kimberley (3-1-0-01) was leading 2-0 when Jackson Ross scored on the power play in the second period. Raposo scored to tie the game at 2-2 with 5:40 remaining in the second frame. Mullen made 25 saves between the pipes for Kamloops, which fell 3-1 to Revelstoke on Friday. Brett Watkinson was the Storm’s lone goal scorer.

Avila values Rogers Centre experience ADAM WILLIAMS

SUN BURN BRONCOS
Quarterback Stephen Schuweiler (right) and running back Jacob Palmarin of the Kamloops Broncos were in the lineup in Kelowna on Sunday. The Okanagan Sun topped the Broncos 39-17 to move to 8-0 and clinch the regular-season B.C. Football Conference title. Kamloops (4-4) surrendered 21 points in the second quarter and entered the second half trailing 29-7. The winless Valley Huskers (0-8) of Chilliwack will be in the Tournament Capital on Saturday to square off against the Broncos. Game time is 7 p.m. at Hillside Stadium.
The Tournament 12 experience has come to an end for Kamloops’ Sam Avila. The 17-year-old shortstop, who plays his league ball for Kelowna’s Okanagan Athletics, played for Team B.C. in the annual baseball showcase held last week at the Rogers Centre, home to Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays. Avila and B.C. were 1-2-1 in four games at the tournament, playing to a 2-2 tie and a 2-1 loss in a pair of games against Alberta, as well as a 10-6 win and a 4-2 loss in games against two Ontario teams.
In nine at-bats in the tournament, Avila recorded three hits, one of which was a double, two runs and one RBI. He walked three times and stole two bases. “I think it went really well actually,” Avila told KTW. “I think I got a lot of opportunities.” A regional team representing the Prairies won the final at the showcase, defeating Quebec 1-0. Perhaps the highlight for Avila was having the opportunity to sit down with Blue Jays alumni, including former Jays left fielder and 1987 American League MVP George Bell. “When they have nice things to say about you and how you play,
that’s nice,” he said. Playing at Rogers Centre was an intimidating experience, Avila said, but an exciting one, too. As the showcase wound to a close, he had the opportunity
to step back and take in the experience as a whole. “It felt kind of uncomfortable at first,” he said. “After the first day, after you take it all in, it got better.”

Still here after 45 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972. The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long. Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.
The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success". Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license. They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing. "After 45 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

Ireland thumps Canada STEVE DOUGLAS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Vancouver Canucks are getting used to life without Kevin Bieksa on the blue line.
Bieksa will be missed JOSHUA CLIPPERTON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Alexandre Burrows has been in professional hockey long enough to know saying goodbye to teammates is part of the business. That doesn’t make it any easier. The Vancouver Canucks dealt veteran defenceman Kevin Bieksa to the Anaheim Ducks this summer, bringing an end to a 15-year association with the franchise that drafted him in the fifth round of the 2001 NHL draft. As the Canucks suit up for their first pre-season game on Monday night in Victoria against the San Jose Sharks, it will be strange for some of the veterans not having No. 3 on the ice. “A little bit bitter-
sweet for sure. Kevin was one of my best friends for a long time,’’ Burrows said at the start of training camp. “We played together for 11 years. It’s always tough to see one of your friends go, but it’s part of the business.’’ A favourite among fans, Bieksa became a full-time player with Vancouver in 2006, registering 56 goals, 185 assists and 879 penalty minutes in 597 games to go along with 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 71 playoff outings, including the Canucks’ memorable run to Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final. The Grimsby, Ont., native was a leader on and off the ice, as well as in the community, known for his tough playing style and dry sense of humour with both media and team-
mates. But there were rumblings this spring after Vancouver was bounced in the first round of the playoffs that management might ask Bieksa to waive his no-trade clause, and he eventually did so once the deal with Anaheim was struck. “He’s a guy that we’re going to miss as a friend and as a teammate,’’ said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. “He was here for a long time and it’s going to be tough without him, but it’s a chance for other guys to step up.’’ That’s what Vancouver is counting on. General manager Jim Benning added free-agent defenceman Matt Bartkowski on July 1, while a couple of players in the system, including Frank Corrado, appear ready
to make the jump to the NHL. “In years past coming to camp, you always have that mindset where you’d like to make the team,’’ said Corrado. “I think this year it’s a little more realistic.’’ The Canucks will take on Bieksa’s Ducks five times this season, with the first two meetings set for Anaheim on Oct. 12 and Nov. 30 before the 34-year-old makes his return to Vancouver on New Year’s Day. “Kevin was a huge personality in our room and on the ice. He’ll certainly be missed, but it’s a great opportunity for more guys to step up, fill his role,’’ said Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis. “I don’t think you look at one guy to fill what he did.’’
JOHNNY FOOTBALL MAKING BID TO START THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine said quarterback Johnny Manziel’s winning performance on Sunday will make it tougher to decide who will start when Josh McCown returns from a concussion.
Manziel threw two long touchdown passes in a 28-14 win over Tennessee. The second-year QB has made major progress this season and Pettine has been pleased with his development, aside from four fumbles in the past two games. Pettine said McCown remains in the NFL’s program
on head injuries after sustaining a concussion on the opening drive of the season opener against the Jets. The Browns’ coaching staff will met Monday night to have a “what if’’ discussion about the quarterback situation. Cleveland will host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
CARDIFF, Wales — Most of the on-field indiscretions carried out by Canada rugby hardman Jamie Cudmore turn into major hits on YouTube. The stamps. The punches. The brawls. The offence that earned him a yellow card against Ireland at the Rugby World Cup on Saturday certainly won’t go on the highlight reel. It proved a costly one for Canada. With the score at 3-0 to Ireland in the 18th minute, Cudmore was lying on the ground next to the ball at the bottom of a ruck with the Irish on the attack, inches from the try-line. Cudmore couldn’t help himself. He flicked out a hand and the ball scooted away. Penalty. Sin-bin. In the 10 minutes their captain was off the field, the Canadians shipped three tries and a total of 19 points, setting Ireland on its way to a 50-7 victory at the Millennium Stadium. “I got to pay the price and that’s on me,’’ Cudmore said. “It was a big mistake.’’ Cudmore actually went on to protest his innocence, saying: “The ball squirted out, I don’t remember how. It got punched out or someone kicked it out but I got dinged for it.’’ But the infringement was clear — as was Ireland’s superiority, aside from a short spell at the start of the second half when it was forced to weather a number of phases on its try-line. Even when Ireland briefly was reduced to 14 men after a yellow card to Paul O’Connell — one of Cudmore’s old adversaries — the Canucks couldn’t capitalize. The only score they managed came through winger DTH Van Der Merwe, who intercepted Jared Payne’s attempted chip ahead and raced from inside his own half to score a try in
the 68th. It was nothing more than a consolation. “They [the Irish] brought everything we thought they would to the game,’’ Canada coach Kieran Crowley said. “They had a very good kicking game which exposed us. “Ireland weren’t No. 2 in the world a couple of weeks back for nothing, and they got back on their horse.’’ Crowley said, somewhat optimistically, Canada’s aim was to win its three remaining matches and qualify for the quarterfinals — a feat it has achieved only once before. Realistically, though, Canada is unlikely to trouble France and will look to games against Italy — next up — and Romania to pick up its wins. “We’re not here to make up the numbers,’’ Cudmore said. “We want to put our rugby in place and compete with the best in the world — obviously on the scoreboard today, we didn’t do that. “We’re going to stick to our guns, put our game in place, and look forward to Italy [in Leeds on Saturday].’’ Meanwhile, South Africa’s stunning loss to Japan in London has seen the Springboks fall to their lowest world ranking in 12 years. The 34-32 defeat on Saturday, the Springboks’ first to Japan, dropped them from third to sixth yesterday, their lowest point since the rankings began in October 2003. Japan rose from 13 to 11, one above Scotland, which plays its tournament opener against Japan tomorrow in Gloucester. Scotland was down two to 12, its lowest ever position. Georgia, a 17-10 winner over Tonga, went up three to 13, one above Tonga. Italy dropped to its lowest position, 15, after losing to France. Wales and Ireland moved up one place to Nos. 4 and 5, after their opening wins over Uruguay and Canada. New Zealand remained No. 1, followed by Australia — which starts its tournament against Fiji tomorrow— and England, which defeated Fiji in its opener.
No surgery for Romo SCHUYLER DIXON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is expected to miss about two months with a broken left collarbone, though he won’t need surgery. The loss of Romo in Sunday’s 20-10 victory at Philadelphia means the defending NFC East champion Cowboys (2-0) will be without their starting quarterback and All-Pro receiver Dez Bryant possibly through October. Coach Jason Garrett said yesterday tests revealed no ligament damage for Romo after the second broken collarbone of his career. The other was in 2010 and he missed the final 10 games of the season. However, Dallas was out of playoff contention before he could have returned.
The most optimistic timeframe for Romo’s return is during a two-game Florida swing on Nov. 15 (Tampa Bay) and Nov. 22 (Miami). Otherwise, his absence could approach three months if he skips a short week for the Thanksgiving home game against Carolina and returns Dec. 7 at Washington. Dallas hosts Atlanta (2-0) on Sunday. Brandon Weeden replaced Romo against the Eagles and threw a clinching 42-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams in the fourth quarter.

The Ship
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”. Henry Van Dyke

Leaders tangle over fate of stealth fighter jet MIKE BLANCHFIELD
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The politics of military procurement preoccupied the federal leaders yesterday as they fired rhetorical missiles at each other over the future of Canada’s illfated attempt to buy new fighter jets. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair both blasted Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for announcing a day earlier he would scrap the multibilliondollar purchase of 65 F-35 stealth fighters to replace the current aging fleet of CF-18s — and reinvest the savings into the navy. Harper and Mulcair both said it showed a lack of judgment by Trudeau. The heightened rhetoric was reflected of the high stakes at play with military procurement: It is a political hot potato because it usually represents the government’s biggest capital expenditure of taxpayers’ money.
Asked about what they thought of the Liberal leader’s plan to scrap the F-35, Harper questioned “what planet’’ Trudeau was living on, while Mulcair said Trudeau was prejudging the public tendering process. Experts say the F-35 purchase would cost taxpayers about $44 billion over the four-decade lifespan of the Lockheed Martin jets. Trudeau, however, stood his ground, saying there are other, less expensive, proven options already flying that would meet the requirements to replace the CF-18s. One of Trudeau’s foreign policy advisers, the retired Lt-Gen. Andrew Leslie, who is running as a Liberal candidate in an Ottawa riding, said any of the other aircraft options would cost 15 to 30 per cent less than the F-35. The savings, he said, would be spent on upgrades for the navy, which he characterized as being in a state of “crisis.’’
Leslie is one of the Liberals’ star candidates and the party activated him yesterday as the campaign trail debate focused on military procurement. The F-35 saga has been fraught with controversy, plagued by malfunctions and cost overruns. The project is on hold after the auditor general offered a scathing critique of the procurement. The Harper government has since said it will extend the lifespan of the current CF-18 fleet to 2025 and it’s unclear if and when it intends to continue with the stealth-fighter program. Harper has stopped short of endorsing the F-35 in recent days, but appeared incredulous that Trudeau would scrap the program, accusing him of living in a “dream world.’’ He said the domestic economic spinoffs in Canada for the F-35 would be “critical’’ for the aerospace industry and the manufacturing sector. “Our aerospace
industry has received literally hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts . . . with literally billions of dollars of possibility down the road,’’ Harper said. “The single biggest direct thing the government of Canada does in the manufacturing sector is we do government procurement — and particularly we do defence procurement.’’ Trudeau maintained that Canada is under no contractual obligation to buy the F-35, acknowledging the previous Liberal government committed to an international partnership to develop a prototype of the new jet fighter more than a decade ago. “What we’re seeing now, with costs skyrocketing for a plane that has been plagued with troubles after troubles during development, is that it no longer makes sense, if it ever did, to have a stealth first-strike capacity, fifth-generation fighter,’’ Trudeau said. Mulcair also criticized Harper for endorsing the project in the first place,
20 years sought for human trafficker VANCOUVER — A Crown prosecutor says a British Columbia man convicted of luring teenage girls into a prostitution ring should serve back-to-back sentences for crimes committed against each of his 11 victims. Kristin Bryson said Reza Moazami should spend more than 20 years behind bars after he was
convicted last September of 30 out of 36 counts. The convictions included sexual assault, sexual exploitation and living off the avails of prostitution, Three of the convictions carry a five-year minimum sentence. The court heard during his trial that Moazami recruited vulnerable girls by promising them drugs,
alcohol and, in one instance, a puppy. Moazami testified in his own defence at trial and claimed he didn’t know the teens were underage and denied living off the money the girls had earned while they had sex with about a dozen men a day. — The Canadian Press

while suggesting there are cheaper and better options for the air force. “Our military needs a
new jet,” Mulcair said. “It’s obvious we need a new fighter, but where are we going to get it,
and in what timeline?’’ Mulcair also pledged to do more for the country’s military veterans.

Apple security breach could impact Canadian iPhones, iPads tions from its app store after developers in China were tricked into using software tools that added malicious code to their work. Apple hasn’t provided details about which companies’ apps were affected. But Tencent Ltd. said its popular WeChat app was hit; the company released a new version after spotting the offending code.
PETER HENDERSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — Apple announced a rare security breach over the weekend that means some Canadians may have unwittingly infected their iPhones and iPads with malware that could expose their iCloud passwords and other personal data. Apple Inc. has removed some applica-
Chinese news reports said other organizations affected included banks, an airline and a popular music service. Many of the affected apps were only available on the App Store in China, yet some that were reportedly infected by the malware — including WeChat, business card rolodex CamCard and file extractor WinZip — are available in Canada.
Users are advised to uninstall the affected apps or update to the latest version released after the malware was discovered, and to change their iCloud passwords. The malicious code spread through a counterfeit version of Apple’s Xcode tools used to create apps for its iPhones and iPads, according to the company. It said the counter-
feit tools spread when developers obtained them from “untrusted sources’’ rather than directly from the company. The malicious software collects information from infected devices and uploads it to outside servers, according to Palo Alto Networks, a U.S.-based security firm. The company said the breach could result in fake password

TREE OF ‘HELL’ PLAGUES KAMLOOPS Pat Haggard, 82, shows off the root of a Tree of Heaven found growing in her garden. JESSICA WALLACE/KTW
WESTMOUNT RESIDENT WANTS TREE PUT ON NOXIOUS WEED LIST JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
t robs her garden of nutrients, infests her yard, invades her flower beds and creeps up between the cracks of her driveway. Pat Haggard wants to rename the so-called Tree of Heaven. “I think the tree should be called the Tree of Hell,” said the 82-year-old Westmount resident. When KTW visited her house,
Haggard’s property was meticulously landscaped, but she is tired of trying to keep ailanthus altissima — the official name of the aggressively spreading sumac tree — off her property. The avid gardener, who has lived in Kamloops for 80 years, has been doing her best to keep up since her husband passed away a couple of years ago, living alone with her border-collie, Sparkle. “I want to stay in my own place as long as I can and not
have to go into a nursing home,” she said. That’s proving more and more difficult, with Haggard and neighbours spending each fall collecting ailanthus altissima seeds — thousands of propellers that blow into their cul-de-sac on Baywood Crescent. She spends spring and summer days pulling the plant by its brittle roots — about eight inches deep with a taproot — from her property and watching multiple others pop up in its place.
‘FALL BUY’ PASS SALE ONLY UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30
“I’m finding them all over the place,” she said. “It’s just such a headache.” While the tree is not on the noxious weed list, City of Kamloops arborist Brian Purves called ailanthus altissima a “very prolific weed.” They’re weak — with roots that often break when yanked out of the ground — grow fast and seed “like crazy,” Purves said. It is among the top two “undesirable” trees in the city, along with the Siberian [Chinese] elm.
While Purves said the elm is a bigger problem in Kamloops — producing a massive flush of seeds “almost like snow” — Haggard said she’d take an elm any day over the Tree of Heaven. “At least when you pull them, they’re gone,” she said. Purves said ailanthus altissima are mainly in North Kamloops and he is aware of the “bad area” in Westmount. See TREE, B3

Tree poses eradication issues From B1
There are problems controlling the tree. When it grows among boulevards, parks and other city property, the city can use a commercially registered herbicide to eradicate it. But, as for the ones growing along the dike, they are in a riparian zone, considered to be environmentally sensitive land important to fish and other aquatic species. “There’s legislation that doesn’t allow you to spray within riparian areas,” Purves said. Haggard brought the issue to city council last fall and said a large mature tree was cut down along the dike, but she’s been watching others grow down the bank. “There’s got to be, I bet you, 20, 30, 40,” she said. “You can imagine what that’s going to be like in even five years.” Purves said the city has yet to start its annual undesirable tree treatments. He expects to cut those trees down this month. The other issue is Trees of Heaven in residential yards. “If it’s on private land, we cannot do much at all,” Purves said. “It becomes a civil matter.” Haggard has spotted the tree on several properties near her house. “For people that don’t know anything about them, they’re a beautiful tree,” she said. She hopes to educate people and have the tree eventually put on the noxious weed list, which would force residents to treat them through the B.C. Weed Control Act. “If it’s here, it’s going to spread to the rest
For people that don’t know anything “about them, they’re a beautiful tree.”

of the city as far as I’m concerned,” she said.
History of the tree
The deciduous tree is native to China and was introduced by a Pennsylvania gardener in 1748 before made available commercially around 1840.
It was under the spotlight as the species featured in the book A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith. The tree goes by several other names, including shumac, Chinese sumac and the stinking sumac. The tree, particularly its flowers, is said to
The tree has pale grey bark, light brown branches and large pinnately compound leaves. It can reach heights of up to 30 metres. The trees are attractive and, when in bloom, can appear almost tropical. They can produce an estimated 325,000 seeds per year, which allow the tree to reproduce, along with vigorous resprouting, especially in response to injury such as breakage or cutting. It also contain large clusters of small yellowish-green flowers in the summer.

Western Canada Theatre is hosting a reading of The Language Reclamation Project: Echoes of the Homesick Heart, a play being developed by Secwepemc writer Laura Michel-Evans on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. at Pavilion Theatre, 1025 Lorne St. The play draws from more than 60 recorded interviews MichelEvans has done in recent years. She approaches her theme of the impact residential schools had on First Nations language not from a perspective of victimization but one of resilience, she said, and of
the effort that continues today to preserve and share the Secwepemc language. It features Mahekan Anderson, Chris Bose, Kim Harvey and Lori Marchand. Admission is free.

“A non invasive non-surgical solution that accelerates the recovery from injured tissue” A shockwave is an intense, but very short energy wave travelling faster than the speed of sound. The basic technology involved with extra corporeal shockwave technology has been used for decades on millions of people. Certain musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the area of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair and heal itself. Research has shown Shockwave Therapy to be highly effective in treating musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions by stimulating the body’s own natural healing response.

Last February: Savannah Vallieres planned to follow her dad and uncle into mechanics. Brad Chadwick thought learning about construction might help him plan his future. Parker Klassen thought studying to be an electrician might be the way to go. And Angus Collier was working the oil rigs in Grande Prairie. Now: Savannah is still in class, adding millwright training to her resume. Brad has a job in Fort St. John as a welder’s assistant. Parker has opted to study to become a firefighter. And Angus is in class at the NorKam Trades and Technology Centre. None of this is a surprise to Ron Collins, the school district’s trades and transitions vice-principal. In fact, it’s reflective of what the Kamloops-Thompson administration expected when he created the trades school on the North Shore. KTW spoke with Savannah, Brad and Parker when the school opened and decided
to drop in on them again this year to find out if their studies lived up to their expectations. Angus entered the story unexpectedly; when he was laid off from his job, he started looking for an educational opportunity but, with wait lists at most colleges, he finally found himself in Kamloops alongside Savannah and several others in the program. Savannah was the only one surprised by how the program rolled out for her. She had expected “there would be work right away and it would be really busy. There was a lot of work, but it was not as crazy as I thought it would be. I really enjoyed it.” Brad, whose dad is a pipe fitter, said the work was just about right, mostly hands-on with not a lot of bookwork — a course that gave him a basic grounding in construction, like plumbing, electricity. He’s not doing that now but, working alongside a buddy who is a welder, he’s using many of the skills he learned at the school. The hours are long, Brad said, but the money is good. Parker said he enjoyed the construction sampler and his time working at some building sites, but his interests shifted and he’s in the midst of an
online course to become a firefighter. He knows that grounding from the trades school will come in handy, though; during a tour of Firehall No. 1, he learned most of the firefighters have some sort of trades interest or background and are always stepping up to help each other with renovations or repairs. Angus said he’s delighted to be at the centre, learning the millwright program. He figures his change from doing to learning came at just the right time as he watches the price of oil going down. Carl Burton is also a new arrival at the centre, hired to teach the millwright program. He’s in the process of settling into Kamloops, having left Prince George and his job at the College of New Caledonia. His students are impressed with him; two of them mentioned Burton is the top-rated millwright in the province. Burton said he’s actually the one with the most experience in the province, having been a millwright for 16 years. For more information on NorKam Trades and Technology Centre, call 250318-7492.

At least one-quarter of Kamloopsians live in rental accommodation — and that data is at least five years old, said Tony Roy, chief executive officer of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association. The organization was in Kamloops this week to talk about something close to Roy’s heart, as his family once lived in social housing. He said he was embarrassed as a child that friends knew this fact and, as an adult, he’s committed to fighting the perception that comes with the words “social housing.� Roy said he met with Mayor Peter Milobar to talk about the situation in Kamloops where, in the most recent homelessness action plan, it was determined the city needs another 2,222 affordable units. The city is moving forward with a social-housing project on McMurdo Drive in South Kamloops, a move that has led to residents petitioning to stop it. Roy said that kind of “not in my backyard� mentality continually crops up when communities look to increase their social housing. He said the frustrating part is most people want to have a thriving, prosperous community with few social issues. “But, not if it’s going to be in their neighbourhood,� Roy said, noting research contradicts the reasons often given against such projects.

He said social-housing does not lead to decreased property values, it doesn’t bring more crime to an area and childrens’ grades don’t drop. “It’s just fear,� he said. Instead, social-housing developments are often some of the best in the area, Roy said, because they have on-site staff actively involved with their tenants on a daily basis. One area his association has been working on is dealing with insurance companies to understand social housing is less of a risk financially. Roy said providing housing would take a heavy burden off the health care and judicial sectors of society. He said it costs on average $40,000 a year to keep someone in a jail cell, noting the cost to deal with marginalized people who rely on the emergency room as their walk-in clinic is equally high. As an example, Roy talked about a request from the government for some potential partners to build affordable housing in Salmon Arm. He said he asked the ministry who the target market would be and was told the goal would be to help families with an annual income of $60,000 to buy a house. “That’s not our core mandate,� Roy said, noting even some his staff makes less than that amount, as do many in the non-profit sector who are providing front-line services.

Hiking trails and headstones will both be easier to find in the Tournament Capital thanks to pair of new mobile apps from the City of Kamloops. A Parks and Trails app includes information on the city’s major nature-park trails, including steepness, to help hikers choose a route fitting their difficulty level, along with information on other pathways and bike routes. Users can also find points of interest in some city parks, search parks by amenity — including playgrounds and beaches — or look up the trails nearest their location. The city is also rolling out an app called Cemetery which includes maps of historic and active burial spots in the city and a gravesite search. Both apps are mobile-friendly.

GLOBAL VIEWS
SANDERS IS THE REAL MCCOY
. . . AND OTHER NEWS AND NOTES ON POLITICS
J
There is still time to “change horses if Corbyn isn’t working out.”
eremy (Jez) Corbyn and Bernie Sanders are very much alike — and so are their ambi-
tions. Corbyn wants to lead Britain’s Labour Party into the next election and become prime minister; Sanders wants to win the Democratic Party nomination and become the next president of the United States. Then each man plans to turn his country sharply to the left. To the vast surprise of practically everybody, Corbyn has achieved the first stage of his master plan: This month, he became the leader of the Labour Party. When he entered the leadership contest, the bookmakers were quoting odds of 200-to-one against him, but he ended up winning the leadership by a landslide. Sen. Sanders was also seen as a complete no-hoper when he threw his hat into the ring: 74 years old (Corbyn is 66), no money and no well-honed political machine behind him (ditto) and far too left-wing to win the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, let alone the presidency. But, something unexpected is also happening with Sanders’ campaign. There were no other high-profile candidates for the Democratic nomination. Most people

World
WATCH assumed it was Hillary Clinton’s for the asking. But, then Sanders began to creep up on her, especially in the two states where the first primaries will be held — New Hampshire and Iowa. The last three polls have shown Sanders leading Clinton in New Hampshire by an average margin of 7.5 per cent and he is now one per cent ahead in Iowa, too. Sanders is not as far left as Corbyn, of course. No elected U.S. politician is as far left as Corbyn, who promises to nationalize the railways and energy companies, scrap university tuition fees, bring back rent controls, raise taxes and introduce a national maximum wage to cap the wages of bankers and other high earners, impose an arms embargo on Israel and get rid of Britain’s nuclear weapons. When asked if there were any circumstances under which he would deploy British armed forces abroad, Corbyn replied: “I’m sure there are some but I can’t think of
them at the moment.” He’s a republican, although he says ending the monarchy is “not the fight I’m interested in.” He’s a vegetarian who does not own a car and he looks a little like Obi-Wan Kenobi. He is, in other words, the Real McCoy. Bernie Sanders, by contrast, lives in the United States, where many people regard democratic socialism as akin to devil worship. He favours universal health care funded by taxes (supported by all parties in Britain) and publicly funded elections with strict limits on corporate donations (ditto) and he, too, advocates free higher education and higher taxes on the rich. That’s already socialist in American political context. But, he’s not planning to nationalize anything, bring in rent controls, end all American military interventions overseas or ban arms sales to Israel. Whatever his private opinions may be, he is running for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination and nobody in the party has advocated anything that radical within living memory. Sanders is as far left within the American
political spectrum — which doesn’t extend very far in that direction — as Corbyn is within the broader British spectrum. Could he really pull off a Corbyn-style upset and win the Democratic nomination? It depends on whether Clinton’s current stumbles end in a big fall in her support. It could happen. Last week’s opinion polls revealed she had lost her lead over her two likeliest Republican opponents in next year’s presidential election, Jeb Bush or Ben Carson — and even Donald Trump was drawing level with her. The Democratic National Convention is still 10 months away, but it’s already late for anybody other than Vice-President Joe Biden to enter the race with a good chance of winning — and Biden is deeply conflicted about running. So, if Clinton fades, Sanders would have a chance: The odds against him are already a good deal shorter than 200-toone. Whether he could actually win the presidency is a different question. British pundits were unanimous in saying Corbyn has no chance of winning a national election and becoming prime minister. Former Labour leader and prime min-
ister Tony Blair went further: “If Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader it won’t be a defeat like 1983 or 2015 at the next election. It will mean rout, possibly annihilation.” But, Labour just lost the last election and the next one is five years away. There is still time to change horses if Corbyn isn’t working out, whereas the U.S. election is next year. Could Sanders win it? The professional pundits and pollsters in the United States say no because he’s too far from the mainstream. Sanders just points to the despair that grips so many middleclass Americans as the rich get ever richer and their own living standards stagnate. “Don’t let anybody tell you that we’re radical, that we’re outside the mainstream. We are the mainstream.” He could be right. It’s the same despair with business as usual that has pushed Trump out in front of the Republican nomination race. And that would be something, wouldn’t it? Sanders vs. Trump for the presidency — at last Americans get a real choice.

Libra, your mood begins to lift as you find many reasons to celebrate this week. The simplest things can bring you happiness. Don’t forget to share joy with others.

Aquarius, you appreciate all the positive feelings coming your way, especially in a week as challenging as this one. Make the most of all of the positive vibes.
