WILL HE GET JOB BACK? CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops and its employees’ union are at odds whether an employee fired for checking off a duty sheet for work he didn’t do will get his job back. Chief administrator Dave Trawin told reporters Tuesday that Joe Cupello will no longer be on the city’s payroll following the most recent decision by the B.C. Labour Relations Board. However, a lawyer acting for the union argued the city mishandled the incident and acted wrongly in its discipline — and may be required to keep Cupello on staff. Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 900 grieved the firing of Cupello, who had a previous record of four instances of misconduct on the job. The incident that led to his firing involved Cupello signing off on a worksheet that he had cleaned a number of parks when, in fact, he had not.

CJ Fowler’s stepfather struggled with emotion on Tuesday as he recounted in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops one of the last messages from a girl he had known since she was two years old. “‘Dad, I have something to tell you — I’m pregnant,’” Glen Wilson testified of the text he received from Fowler only hours before she was found dead in 2012 near Guerin Creek in Kamloops, her airway crushed by a 56-pound concrete block. “I said, ‘I’m happy,’” Wilson recounted to the jury. “But, Damien had to find a job and CJ would have to start school or do something.” Wilson was testifying in the trial of Damien Taylor, charged with second-degree murder in connection to Fowler’s death on Dec. 5, 2012. Then 21 years old, Taylor moved into Wilson’s Terrace home to live with his girlfriend, 16-yearold CJ. Wilson testified that Fowler called him “dad” while Taylor referred to him as “poppa.” Wilson told the jury he agreed to let Taylor move in. “She wasn’t going to school,” he said of Fowler. “We tried getting her into school and tried to get Damien a job.” But, neither attempt was successful. The two were “inseparable,” Wilson said, spending all their time together. While he was worried the pair had too much time on their hands, trouble didn’t start until a friend of Fowler’s from Kamloops came to visit and stayed over in late November 2012. See DOG WALKERS, A7

OVER 100 DISPLAYS!
ianna Bodnar has no children of her own — but, she has witnessed one of the most beautiful births imaginable. The creative producer of Keeping Canada Alive, an upcoming series on the country’s health-care system, experienced the birth in Kamloops. It’s just one of many health-related stories the series tells as it focuses on one day in May in 10 provinces and one territory with 60 camera crews in the field. The Kamloops story involves a couple in Royal Inland Hospital awaiting the birth of their third child. They are in the same ward where, two years ago, their second child was a stillbirth. “It was such a joyous time, but there was also grief,” Bodnar said. “They were scared, worried and then there’s the most beautiful birth I’ve ever seen. When I watched it, I was moved to tears; it’s one of my favourites.” Two other Kamloops stories are also told, but are available only online at cbc.ca/keepingcanadaalive.
The second Kamloops story is another birth, with the arrival of young Oliver — named after his dad, who was working on the Coast, but managed to get back to Kamloops in time to be there — and the third tale is a tour through the hospital’s pharmacy, led by pharmacist Kim Winters. It’s a journey that includes a visit to the vault where listed drugs are kept and demonstrates the security of the system of dispensing medicines at the hospital. The Kamloops segments were shot by David McIlvride, who Bodnar described as the “Eveready Buwnny of shooters that day.” Narrating the series is actor Kiefer Sutherland. Bodnar said asking him was deliberate for Force Four Entertainment, the company behind the series, because, for many, he is a reminder of the father of the country’s universal healthcare system — Sutherland’s grandfather, Tommy Douglas. The timing of the six one-hour episodes being televised was determined long ago, but having three episodes air before the country heads to the polls “does turn out to be good,” Bodnar said. It begins on Oct. 4 with stories about a threemonth old having heart surgery; a 28-year-old, who was told he would never walk again, taking
steps; and a teenager undergoing laser treatment on severe burn scars. There is also the story of a senior being rushed to hospital to determine if he has had a stroke, a clinic with no on-site doctor who works with a high-tech assistant, Rosie the Robot, and the reality of a senior caring for her husband, who has Alzheimer’s disease. The Kamloops segment airs on Oct. 25. Bodnar hopes the series inspires Canadians “to think about their own health and the health of their family and loved ones.” The online component is already viewable and includes footage from the series, additional stories, polls, trivia and other resources. Bodnar praised the partnership with the CBC in bringing the many stories to the public. The project was inspired by a similar series done by ITV in England. Force Four partners John Ritchie and Bromley saw it and felt it should be emulated in Canada. Boadnar said the series is like “a good medical drama” — except for the fact the people and their stories are real. “When you watch these stories about people in vulnerable times, I hope it will make people think about health care,” she said. “It is so key to the Canadian identity.”

Too much weed leads to $1,200 fine TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops medicalmarijuana user will be a little bit lighter in the pocketbook after being busted by police with three times the amount
of weed he is legally entitled to possess. Troy Farnsworth pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to possession of a controlled substance and was ordered by Judge Chris Cleaveley to
pay a $1,200 fine. Court heard he was stopped in an RCMP road block on Summit Drive on May 1. An officer smelled marijuana in Farnsworth’s vehicle and arrested him for pos-
session. A search of the car turned up a small amount of marijuana and $5,000 in cash. In the trunk, however, police found seven bags of pot totalling 120 grams. Farnsworth, 32, has
medical paperwork authorizing him to possess 40 grams of marijuana. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen said Farnsworth is going to university, aiming to get into accounting.
Have you seen Susan Clark? 75 pounds of pot Kamloops Mounties are seeking the public’s help in finding a 16-year-old girl who was reported missing on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Susan Clark is a First Nations teen, stands five feet tall and weighs about 80 pounds (36 kilograms). She has brown hair and brown eyes. “Clark has been seen in the Kamloops area and has made some contact with friends; however, the police and family have not been able to confirm her well-being,” Cpl. Cheryl Bush said. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

KNOW THE ADVERTISING RULES CITY OF KAMLOOPS
A routine traffic stop led to a big marijuana bust — enough to fill two hockey bags — for Kamloops Mounties early yesterday morning. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a vehicle was pulled over for speeding near the Peterson Creek Bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway just after 3 a.m. “An odour of marijuana was detected coming from the vehicle, which led to a search where two hockey bags full of drugs were located,” she said, noting the bust totalled 75 pounds of weed. A 58-year-old man was arrested. Bush said police will be recommending charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The investigation is ongoing.

LOCAL NEWS The City of Kamloops had wanted to expand its boundaries to include New Gold’s New Afton mine west of the city. At last week’s Union of B.C.

A western expansion of Kamloops’ boundaries may be off the table. After making a bid to annex New Gold’s New Afton mine last year, the City of Kamloops is looking at other ways to bring tax dollars from the project into the city without changing its borders. Mayor Peter Milobar said the city presented alternatives to Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender during last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Instead of annexation, Milobar said the city is looking at a fair-share agreement similar to those in place in some northern communities and in the Elk Valley. “What we’ve said is it doesn’t necessarily have to be a line on a map that has to move, but our goal is to try to have heavy industry in the immediate area of Kamloops all paying the same rate,” he said. The city plans to use the additional revenue from the mine to bring down tax rates for heavy industry — a
tax class that includes the Domtar pulp mill, the Tolko plywood and veneer plant and the Lafarge cement plant. The companies have complained the city’s rate is far above the provincial average and needs to be cut in half to allow them to stay competitive. Last spring, the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation (which represents the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands) objected to the city’s annexation plans, arguing it would threaten revenue-sharing agreements already in place between the bands and New Gold. Milobar said a fair-share agreement may garner more support than would redrawing the map. “I think everyone’s just trying to be respectful and figure out a way that causes the least amount of angst around as many tables as possible,” he said. Fassbender is set to tour the mine site near the end of October. Milobar said it’s unlikely a decision will be made in time for 2016, but noted additional tax revenue could begin to flow by 2017 if the province gives its blessing.

Public hearing for proposed pot facility A medical-marijuana grow-op proposed for a Dallas industrial park will be up for debate by the public this fall. At its Tuesday meeting, council voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on whether to rezone 8170
Dallas Dr. from industrial park to general industrial to accommodate the grow-op. The city only allows grow-ops to set up on certain types of industrial land, which must be located at least 150 metres from schools,
community centres, parks and playgrounds. If it’s approved, the medical-marijuana facility would be located in a warehouse in the Gateway Industrial Park.

kind of dance festival celebration and they were really hoping we could make it for that as part of the 25th celebration,” Milobar said. “So, we’ll be there for that and I think they’ve got a few other special things planned for us as well.” As part of its sister-city agreement, Kamloops hosts a delegation of junior high students from Uji each summer. The two cities alternate larger visits. Travel costs for councillors are covered by a special sister-city fund, not council’s $50,000 travel expenses budget. Members of the public and council spouses pay their own way, Milobar said.

Dog walkers found body CJ Fowler was 16 in December 2012 when she was slain. Her then-boyfriend, Damien Taylor, now 24, is charged with her murder.
From A1
Wilson said he came home from a trip to Kitimat to find CJ and two friends high on what he guessed was a mixture of cocaine and chemicals. Wilson kicked the friends out and Fowler left with them. She returned home days later, but told her stepfather she wanted to go to Kamloops with Taylor and her friends. Less than a week later, beginning in the early evening of Dec. 4, 2012, Wilson said he texted back and forth with Fowler from 8 p.m. to the early hours of the next day — the day she was slain. Fowler told him she thought she was doing speed, or crystal meth, but her friend may have given her another drug.
Chest pains forced her to go to Royal Inland Hospital. It was there that Fowler and Taylor were told she was pregnant, news she texted her stepfather and posted on Facebook. At the opening of the trial this week, prosecutor Alexandra Janse said the Crown will provide evidence, captured on video and via testimony of a witness, that the couple was arguing when they left hospital. The last text Wilson
received from Fowler, at about 3 a.m., said, “I love you Dad. We miss you.” Wilson testified he tried to contact Fowler at about 8 a.m., texting her: “Are you awake?” During testimony yesterday, Sahali residents walking their dogs in the Guerin Creek canyon on Dec. 5, 2012, testified about finding clothes and Fowler’s body. Kyle Kuzyk told the 11-person jury he was
walking his dog at 1 p.m. when it led him to what at first appeared to be a pile of clothes in an area near Grandview Terrace and Dalgleish Drive. But, he quickly realized it was a First Nations girl clad in a tank top with clothes around her. There was a concrete block on her chest. Fowler’s stepfather bought Greyhound tickets for CJ and Taylor for the noon bus on Dec. 5. But, it was Taylor alone who made the trip north. Police found Fowler’s ripped-up ticket in Taylor’s Prince George hotel room, along with socks — with traces of her blood on them — in a garbage can. The trial is scheduled to continue this week with Crown evidence. The defence is expected to begin next week.

The B.C. Labour Relations arbitrator who made the July order ruled the city breached the collective agreement in dealings with Cupello and ordered it to reinstate him on the workforce. Those breaches include suggesting a shop steward for the discipline hearing who earlier told a city manager that Cupello “doesn’t get it.” In a decision this week, the board’s vice-chair ordered the original arbitrator to reconsider
because the city wasn’t able to present arguments on an aspect of its actions. But, union lawyer Ian Kennedy said yesterday that doesn’t mean Cupello won’t get his job back. “The arbitrator could still find the same thing . . . It’s very possible Mr. Cupello will get this job back,” Kennedy said. The original remedy stated Cupello would serve a 30-day suspension without pay, but his employment would be restored, along with back
salary and benefits. Kennedy said Cupello left another job he found after being fired so he could return to the city’s payroll. Following the decision this week, Kennedy said, a city official texted Cupello and told him he was not to come back to work. “He’s given up his other job,” Kennedy said. Kennedy said the union also has the option of appealing the vice-chair’s decision. That determination has not been made.
Limited water in Aberdeen tomorrow Aberdeen residents south of Hugh Allan Drive are being asked to take the day off from laundry and dishes on Friday, Oct. 2, as the city conducts repairs on its booster station. The city will replace pipes and valves at the Hugh Allan station starting at 10 a.m. and will shut down the link to the city reservoir for up to eight hours.
During that time, there will be limited water for the area. Once full water supply is restored, residents may see discoloured water or air in their pipes as a result of the repairs. The discolouration isn’t harmful and should be flushed out after running cold water for a few minutes.

MORE TO VOTING THAN 30 SECONDS
A
ttacks ads must work some of the time. If they didn’t achieve something for the attacker, why do we continue to see them during this federal election campaign? The attack ads started early, well before the campaign officially began in early August. Through the spring, the governing Conservatives were warning us, as we waited for the evening news to return from a commercial break, that Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was “just not ready” to be prime minister. The ads, featuring a politically correct collage of Canadians, usually ended with a jab at Trudeau’s appearance, with one of the alleged ordinary voters quipping, “Nice hair, though.” They weren’t on par with some of the nastier advertising found in U.S. politics, but they were judged by many to be offensive. A search online will find calls for such ads to be tossed in the dust bin of political history and replaced with ads telling the voter what a party will do, rather than what another party will not do. Those Conservative ads targeting Trudeau and the Liberals have been followed by 30-second messages warning voters of the danger posed by a Thomas Mulcair NDP government. And, just this week, the New Democrats got into the act, with Noah Richler — an NDP candidate in Ontario and son of famed novelist Mordecai Richler — mocking Trudeau’s stalled escalator ad. And on it goes. No doubt there is an offensive Liberal ad out there somewhere, waiting to be aired. For undecided voters, such crassness should serve as a lesson: Visit party websites, read newspapers, listen to and watch newscasts, attend election forums (including the KTW/CBC Radio/CFJC-TV-sponored Oct. 14 event at Thompson Rivers University), talk to supporters and opponents of all parties and speak directly with the candidates. They might have nice hair. They may or may not be ready for prime time. But, such conclusions should be reached by digging a bit deeper than embarrassing 30-second commercials.

And another thing . . .
I
t’s another one of those weeks in which no one issue has leapt to the forefront screaming out, “Write about me!” Instead, there are little things that are nagging away, issues and realities worth noting. • First, to all who have called to complain about the work on Overlanders Bridge, I have just one word: Really? Those little blips your vehicle experiences when it crosses the joints of the bridge are worth that much anger? When I drove across it — as I have done often in the last couple of weeks — it seemed a lot like most any other bridge I’ve had to cross. The goal of the project is to address the structural integrity, not give you a carpet ride across the asphalt. And, knowing two studies of the bridge — one in late December and one in early April — showed significant wear, I’m just glad the city is dealing with it now. Those little bumps are way easier on my car than that huge pothole that seemed to develop on the south end after every winter season. • You go, Mayor Peter Milobar, as you take on CP Rail. It’s absolutely ridiculous of it to demand the railway crossings at Second and Third avenues be closed. The idea of removing two of the four rail crossings downtown because some idiots trespass there ignores the
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL simple reality the rest of us use the crossings wisely and safely. There has to be a better solution than what the railway wants. Here’s hoping the mayor can find a way to resolve it. • However, do we really need to send five councillors to Japan later this month to be in the audience for a dance festival and, as Milobar said, “other special things planned for us” to mark the anniversary of the sister-city agreement with Uji? For that matter, beyond the student exchange and the occasional photo-ops when politicos from the two cities get together, what is the benefit of this thing? • The city needs to work with the Westsyde community to come up with a second way in and out of the community. If there’s one thing this year’s flash flood showed, it’s that it is simply foolish to have just one road providing
access to all the Kamloopsians who live out there, an issue the Westsyde Community Development Society is now raising with the city. • Kudos to Coun. Pat Wallace for pointing out what the rest of them sitting at the council table failed to understand: Safety and security in a parkade is more important than how it looks outside. The issue, on which Wallace was the only opposing vote, involved the parkade at the Sandman Hotel downtown, a structure some said needed some dressing up so it wouldn’t look “unfinished” or “industrial,” as some councillors opined. Wallace is right; women often are nervous about being alone in a parkade at night. Putting up decorative grilles on the parkade to make it look prettier ignores that fact. • Here’s hoping the public hearing on a proposed medical-marijuana operation out in Dallas doesn’t get derailed by uninformed people. Despite being someone who has never understood the entire pot culture — credit my staunch Baptist upbringing on that one — I’ve spent a lot of time talking with doctors who support it, reading studies and listening to people who are seeing their lives improve through this medicine. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CEDAR DENTAL BLEEDING HEART HAS PULSE CLINIC HELPED A GIRL SMILE AGAIN Editor: My sister-in-law, my three nephews and my niece moved to Kamloops a few months ago. They are a low-income family and are trying to get settled into a new job and new schools. My 11-year-old niece fell and knocked her two front teeth out just before starting her new school. They did not have coverage and did not have the money needed to get the work done. Cedar Dental Clinic in Westsyde came to the rescue and slashed their bill in half while putting them on a payment plan for the rest, with no credit check. The clinic also donated a custom retainer with false teeth for her to wear in the meantime. Cedar went above and beyond to help this little girl out without so much as asking for a thank you. Staff donated their time and money to a young kid who was in a terrible spot, starting work immediately without knowing funds were coming because they didn’t want her mouth to get infected. An 11-year-old starting a new school has enough to worry about without having no front teeth. For the first two weeks, she wouldn’t talk to anyone and had no confidence. Because of Cedar Dental Clinic’s huge heart, this girl now has confidence and she is making friends. This would not have been possible without the clinic and staff there deserve to be recognized for doing something extremely generous. Cody Danis Kamloops
Editor: This in response to those who argue against helping Syrian refugees. These arguments sound very familiar. In fact, if we put these arguments in a newspaper during the late 1930s and replace the words “Syrian refugee” with “Jewish refugee,” no one would be able to tell it wasn’t written for that time period. Of course, these arguments have less to do with fairness in following the rules of immigration and more to do with thinly veiled cultural racism. The Conservative gov-
ernment seems to be more interested in blocking all Muslim immigrants to pander to this racist voter base than worrying about letting terrorists slip in. The humanitarian arguments for letting at least some of these desperate people into the country so they won’t have to worry about their children being barrel bombed to death or forced to fight for either Assad or ISIL are valid ones. The pragmatic arguments to let these people in to reinvigorate our economy and country are also valid. Ukrainian, Italian,
German, Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Polish — the list of immigrants who entered our country is very long and all were welcomed and despised at some point in Canadian history. However, can you imagine Canada without their contributions to this wonderful country? There are some out there who will call me a bleeding heart, as though it was an insult. Better to be a bleeding heart than a soulless or apathetic one. Fraser Walker Kamloops

ll aboard! Kamloops Heritage Railway Society is offering a vintage experience aboard its heritage dining car. What began as a fundraiser in 2013, Harvest High Tea is back on track on Saturday with three sittings: 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Visitors will be pampered by servers dressed in period attire, serving tasty treats and hot tea in fine china and on linen-covered tables adorned with fresh flower arrangements. Adding to the event’s vintage vibe, local band
Doug and Friends will be performing live music from the era. Across from the heritage dining car, Kamloops Vintage Car Club will have vehicles on display near the vintage train platform. With a maximum of 39 guests per seating, tickets must be purchased in advance. The cost is $30 for adults and $25 for seniors and can be bought by calling 250-374-2141. “It’s unique, in that we’re able to bring back an era that’s gone, in an authentic dining car and service,” said Rosanne Nelson, manager of rail tour operations.

Canadian Linen Services has provided linen table cloths and napkins and floral designer Barbara Froment from Kamloops Florists is creating floral arrangements for the tables.

(Clockwise from top left) Malik Mohammed, Bet Smith and Sue Decker are performing at the Art We Are in October. Mohammed is first up, with a show on Saturday night at 246 Victoria St. Admission is $4 at the door.
Plenty of music coming to cafe Two travelling musicians and one homegrown singersongwriter will perform at The Art We Are in October. On Saturday, Malik Mohammed takes the stage at the venue, 246 Victoria St. The 16-year-old has lived in Kamloops for five years and grew up listening to NSync, the Backstreet Boys, Bryan Adams — and whoever was playing over the radio in his parents’ car. He said his interest in acoustic music came when he heard British artist Ed Sheeran on the radio.
He bought Sheeran’s album Plus (marketed with the + sign rather than the word) and listened to it every day. Other influences are Passenger and Damien Rice, artists Mohammed likes “because all they need is a guitar and their voice to carry a crowd for a full gig.” Admission is $4 at the door. On Oct. 10, the cafe features Sue Decker, who lives in Victoria. Her music is described as embodying the spirit of early blues, folk, bluegrass and country, all sparked when she
rented a guitar at a music jam in Edmonton and played her first chords. Admission for her show is $10 at the door. On Oct. 24, Bet Smith arrives as she travels to promoter her new EP, Loose Ends. The Ontario musician spends her days working as a welder, builder and craftsperson in Toronto, heading to the Muskokas to teach music. By night, she draws her musical influences from her rural youth and a back-to-theland lifestyle. Admission is $8 at the door.

Chasing his dream MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

W
WE Smackdown will air tonight across North America, reaching about three-million wrestling fans inside their square-circle shaped living rooms. Thompson Rivers University (TRU) student David Madeley, 27, might never get the chance to suplex and powerbomb in front of an audience like that. His time is running out. “I’ve only got a few years left in wrestling,” said Madeley, who began chasing his childhood dream in 2008. “The body doesn’t last too long. The risk and reward isn’t worth it in the end, especially if you’re not getting paid the big bucks, like in WWE. “I’m going to push for the next little bit, then start looking for a career.” Adam Ryder, the wrestling persona belonging to Madeley, is coming off his biggest victory to date. He disposed of former WWE star Gangrel in Cloverdale last weekend to claim the All Star Wrestling (ASW) Trans Canada Championship, the heavyweight strap. To many, victories in a sport where the outcome is pre-determined might seem meaningless, but, if you’re an aspiring grappler like Madeley, the opposite is the case. Winning often means bookers (the braintrust and writers behind the kayfabe action in the ring) think you’re marketable. If you’re marketable (basically, fans are willing to pay to see you) in ASW, a bigger, better-paying promotion might take notice. “I’d love to go to California, in the L.A. area,” said Madeley, who will graduate in December

with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from TRU. “They have all sorts of amazing wrestlers. I’ve already wrestled in a bunch of promotions down there.” Those amazing wrestlers attract talent scouts from the biggest and best, such as the WWE, and Madeley, with his ever-growing resume, might be primed to take the next step. He holds two ASW belts — the heavyweight and cruiserweight titles — and recently cracked Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Top 500 list. “It’s a good thing to have on the resume,” Madeley said. “It puts me over a little more and gives me a little bit more material. It shows I’m working hard to get where I am.” The magazine describes Ryder as a quick-footed competitor and a superb counterwrestler with good instincts. He’s ranked 477th in the world.
Madeley has made it further than most in the business ever do and failing to secure a top-paying job in the industry would not be a failure at all. He didn’t don tights until he was 20, when he was attending Capilano University in North Vancouver and went to a wrestling show with friends. “I ended up falling in love with it and saying I’d love to try it,” said Madeley, who grew up a wrestling fan in Smithers. “Getting into it, I questioned my sanity big time. It’s a tough thing to get into and your body takes a physical beating.” Madeley enrolled in Lance Storm’s wrestling school in Calgary and learned the ropes from the retired WWE, ECW and WCW star before moving to Prince George. Since then, he’s worked hard over seven years to make ends meet, slaving away at
multiple jobs and travelling on weekends to shows across the province. Help from friends already established on the B.C. wrestling scene, such as Stuart Brown (the Mauler) of Prince George, made it easier for Madeley to find places to hone his craft. “The closest wresting we would do was about eight hours away in Vancouver or Edmonton so, for two years, we travelled everywhere every second weekend or so for a wrestling show,” Madeley said. “I was also working fulltime, as a salesperson or doing odd jobs, cooking . . . lots of job hunting.” Madeley moved to Kamloops in 2011. The iTel Networks employee works and goes to school Mondays through Thursdays and transforms into Adam Ryder three or four times a month on weekends. Ryder, along with holding two ASW titles, is the Thrash Wrestling Association champion. That belt will be on the line tomorrow night in Peachland at the Edgewater Bar and Grill. Cougar Meat Kid Collin Cutler will try to steal the gold from Ryder. The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10. Perhaps the match will appear on YouTube and someone important down south will take notice. Truth be told, that’s not a likely scenario. But, Madeley will get to do what he loves and fans will leave with smiles on their faces — that’s a guarantee. Just don’t expect to see his parents in the crowd. “My mom still has yet to watch any of my matches,” Madeley said. “She’s afraid she’d jump into the ring and beat the crap out my opponent. “My dad supports it, but he’s very leery of it. He pushes for the degree more than anything.”
Sawyer Jules, the 19-month-old son of former Storm forward Cody Jules, is fighting cancer.
STORM RAISING MONEY FOR SAWYER ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Fundraising efforts are underway to support the son of a Kamloops Storm alumnus. Sawyer Jules, the 19-month-old son of former Storm forward Cody Jules, was recently diagnosed with cancer and will spend more than six months at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver undergoing treatment. “The last few weeks have been the scariest moments in our lives, to learn our 19-monthold has a grade IV brain tumour and is facing a very aggressive chemotherapy treatment and to be told we could lose him,” Cody said. “We are heartbroken. There are tears every day. But, we also need to be strong for Sawyer and stand by his side and fight with him. He’s an inspiration and is truly our hero.” Sawyer has a brain tumour — a medulloblastoma — and Cody said the cancer is also throughout his nervous system. On Friday, the
Storm’s half of the 50/50 draw was donated to the Jules family. Coupled with donations made by a few fans in attendance, $400 was raised. Friends of the family will also be hosting a gala at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre on Oct. 30. Tickets are $75 and include entrance to the costume party, a live band, silent auction and buffet dinner. Proceeds will help the Jules family make ends meet while in Vancouver, where they will be for at least seven months. “It means the world to us to know so many people are behind Sawyer’s fight at this difficult time,” Cody said. For more information about the gala, or to donate to the Jules family, contact Jay Froese by phone at 250-318-8036 or by email at jay.froese@newgold.com. The Storm will be accepting donations at this weekend’s games — against Golden tomorrow and Chase on Saturday. Both games start at 7 p.m. on McArthur Island.

Huber last fought in April, defeating Fernie boxer Bob Larson by knockout at an event in Langley to capture the

40 years: The Thrilla in Manilla TIM DAHLBERG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It was, Muhammad Ali would later say, the closest thing to death he had ever known. He and Joe Frazier had gone 14 brutal rounds in the stifling heat of a Philippines morning before Frazier’s trainer Eddie Futch mercifully signalled things to an end, his fighter blind and battered and feeling pretty close to death himself. It was the final time the two fighters would meet in a trilogy that transcended the sport of boxing. The last meeting would take place in the most unlikely of places and be a fight so epic it would live up to its name. It was 40 years ago, Oct. 1, 1975, and the “Thrilla in Manilla’’ was just that. Neither fighter gave an inch as Frazier relentlessly pursued Ali, and Ali responded by unleashing the fury of his fists on the oncoming challenger’s head. “They told me Joe Frazier was washed up,’’ Ali said to Frazier at one point. “They lied,’’ Frazier growled, throwing yet another left hook at a target he could barely see. The fight was for the heavyweight title that Ali won a year earlier from George Foreman in another fight with a name. If the “Rumble in the Jungle’’ was Ali’s finest hour — at least in his late career — the defence against Frazier was surely his most gutty performance. Ali’s business manager, Gene Kilroy, was watching from ringside, fearful for the health of both fighters.
“I was thinking to myself, why don’t they just ban boxing now?’’ Kilroy said. Ali had trained hard for Frazier. He knew from their first two fights — this was the rubber match — that there was never any quit in the former champion, despite his knockout loss to Foreman two years earlier. Frazier would be especially relentless this time, angry with Ali for calling him a “gorilla’’ and belittling him as an Uncle Tom. “He knew that Frazier would never be washed up against him,’’ Kilroy said. “If Frazier was 60 he would have still been ready to fight Ali.’’ Ali came out throwing big punches, hoping to stop Frazier in his tracks. He buckled Frazier’s legs twice in the first round and was giving him a beating through the early rounds. But, Frazier began finding the mark with his signature left hook, snapping Ali’s head back. He began backing Ali up, taking the fight to him and, by the end of the 10th round, Ali sat exhausted on his ring stool, his head bowed and seemingly ready to quit. “Ali took terrible punishment,’’ said retired Associated Press boxing writer Ed Schuyler Jr., who was ringside. “In the sixth round he hit him with a hook that almost made it look like his head was on a swivel. Joe just wouldn’t stop.’’ Somehow, Ali took the punches and remained upright. Somehow, he found a way to turn the fight back in his favour.
By the 14th round, the big right hands Ali was landing had made Frazier’s face almost unrecognizable. Frazier’s punches no longer had their zip, but even with his eyes almost completely swollen shut he continued throwing left hook after left hook, hoping one might find its mark. Finally, Futch told Frazier he couldn’t go on. Frazier briefly protested, but Futch wouldn’t budge, knowing what one final round might bring. In the other corner, Ali got up and briefly held his hands up in victory. Then he collapsed on his stool, finally finished himself. “God knows what might have happened if they hadn’t stopped the fight,’’ Kilroy said. Unfortunately, it came at a great cost. Frazier would fight ineffectively just two more times and Ali was a shadow of himself even as he continued to fight on. Frazier died four years ago, still bitter about the way Ali treated him. Ali, who suffers from Parkinson’s Syndrome from taking too many punches, attended the funeral. Last month, they unveiled a long overdue statue of Frazier in Philadelphia and Kilroy went to the ceremony. He and Marvis Frazier, son of the late champion, went to Frazier’s grave and laid a wreath inscribed with a message from Ali. “To Joe Frazier from Muhammad Ali,’’ it read. “Rest in peace, Joe, until we meet again. Next time we’re not going to fight, we’re just going to hug each other.’’
BLUE JAYS CAPTURE AL EAST CROWN A four-run fifth-inning outburst powered the Toronto Blue Jays to a defeat of the Baltimore Orioles yesterday and the club’s first American League East title in 22 years. Toronto last won the AL East division crown in 1993. Pitcher Marcus Stroman went eight innings, surrendering five hits, one run and two walks, while striking out eight.
The Jays added another five runs in the top of the ninth inning. The club was on the field in Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the second half of yesterday’s doubleheader after KTW’s press deadline. Toronto will play Baltimore again today, with game time moved to 9:05 a.m in the Pacific time zone in an effort to avoid inclement weather in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands and decrease pain. IMS (Intra-Muscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that uses fine solid needles (acupuncture-like needles) to treat tight, shortened, tensed-up muscles, muscle bands which are contributing towards abnormal function of the nervous system.
RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Certain chronic musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the are SUCCESS RATE of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair. Radial pressure waves, commonly called Shock Wave Therapy, is an excellent treadment consideration for these chronic conditions.

aking a fool of yourself at the office Christmas party is something to be avoided at all costs. After all, you’ll be obliged to face those very co-workers the following week and, if they have a remarkably lowered opinion of you since the party, it’ll feel more than awkward. While the Christmas party can create worries for both employer and employee, it is an event where you can still behave professionally and have fun, and provides a great opportunity to socialize with co-workers and bosses within your company . It all comes down to the simple mantra: Behave right and you’ll have a great night. Here are some straightforward suggestions to keep this part of your work’s social event calendar: • Prepare yourself mentally and show up. Rather than dreading the occasion, the right mindset can provide much-needed balance. Regardless of how you feel about the party or the office, office parties are a crucial part of the office dynamic. Think of it like a Sunday afternoon visit to Grandma; even if you don’t feel like it, you know that you probably should go. • Arrange for a friend to call you at a set time. Go out of earshot to take
the call, then return and say you must leave on an urgent matter. Some good excuses are your friend’s car broke down on the highway or your roommate is locked out of the apartment. • Decide what to wear. Find out what everyone else is wearing before the party and match the tone with your outfit. • Arrive on time. This is an office party, not a discotheque, so turning up fashionably late is not an option and could have you missing out on all the fun. Arriving on time gives you the opportunity to say hello to everyone, and still get out early without seeming rude. • Mingle. Be sure to acknowledge all your co-workers, and especially your superiors and their associates as this will put you in good stead. The Christmas party is an excellent opportunity to cement relationships and to get known in a good way. Talk to your co-workers and bosses about work issues in a positive and complimentary light, focusing on achievements for the year and fun things you remember. Don’t be frightened to talk to your co-workers and management about things outside of work such as the cinema, football, hobbies, family, or dogs. And practise listening as this is as important as the small talk.
Let us take care of your
OMG, the boss just asked me to organize the Christmas Party!

• Drink responsibly. Don’t forget where you are — technically, still at work because you’re with the work crowd, so treat the party as an extension to your work day. Keep in mind that everything observed has the potential to be turned into a judgment on your professionalism and work suitability. If there is one thing that can besmirch a reputation, it’s getting out of control on the liquor at the work Christmas party. No matter how much management has insisted that everyone let down their hair, just don’t. Wait until after the party if getting blind drunk is your plan; grab the few trusted co-workers and head off somewhere else. • Be tactful and careful about declaring your undying romantic intentions. It’s that time of year. If you’re having an office blowout and Jeanna from HR is there, you may be tempted to make your move. This can go either way. Remember, you will have to see this person at work on Monday. Think: Do I really like them? Do they like me? How much have I had to drink? Will I regret this in the morning? This is called a reality check. If you fail the reality check, under no circumstances should you make your move.

JOAN NORA SHIRLEY Joan Shirley was born to William and Daisy Rogers, August 12, 1923 in East London, England. She died September 19, 2015 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Kamloops. She is survived by her sons, Roger (Joan) and James (Ann) Hunting, grandchildren Kaitlyn, Shannon (Nigel), Brandon (Judy), and Tyler as well as her greatgrandchildren Carter and Arya. She was predeceased by her husband Fred Shirley and her sons John and Richard (Carol). During the Second World War, Joan served in the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRENS). She met and married John Hunting in 1946 and shortly after her twins were born. They left Britain to join John in British Honduras (Belize). She immigrated to Canada in 1952 and lived in Vancouver and Penticton. After her divorce from John, she married Fred Shirley and moved to Kamloops where she lived for 48 years. During that time, especially in later years, Joan was involved in various activities such as the Retired Teachers Association, Kamloops Blazers Booster Club and manning the desk at Cottonwood Manor. Besides her family, Joan had many special people in her life including Gary Fridell and Deanna Newberry whom she regarded as her adopted son and daughter. She also had a very special friend Bonnie Peterson without whom, she acknowledged, her life would have been much plainer, duller and quieter and a lot less fun! Joan wished to deeply thank all the men and women at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home who made her passing one of dignity and ease. She enjoyed and appreciated you all very much. There will be a Celebration of Life, conducted by Pastor Wiest on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 2:00 pm in the Dogwood Room at Cottonwood Manor followed by refreshments. No flowers please, but donations to the Kamloops Hospice or the SPCA would be appreciated.

ELSIE GIOVANNA FAVALI (nee COMAZZETTO) On Sunday, September 27, a sunny Kamloops afternoon, Elsie left us to be reunited with her husband Frank who predeceased her in 1994 and her eldest daughter Linda in 2010. Her family was with her at the time of her passing. She is survived by her children Marlene (Phil) Potter of Coquitlam, Jane (Mike) Wolfram of Kamloops and Glen (Dawn) Favali of Surrey. Left to cherish the memory of their beloved “Noni” are her grandchildren Tanya (Jason) Collins, Michelle (Kent) Schechtel, Kristopher (Robin Russell) Potter, Geoffrey (Kaela Brekelsman) Potter, Joshua Wolfram, Emma Wolfram, Grayden (Jenn) Favali and her great-grandchildren Stella and Roarke Schechtel, Rocco Favali and Chase and Michael Russell. Also mourning her loss are her siblings Bruno Comazzetto, Enes (Henry) Christianson, Reno (Stella) Comazzetto, Emma Durigon, her in-laws Jenny Comazzetto, Helen Comazzetto, Majorie Favali and her many nieces and nephews. Elsie was born on April 30, 1928 in Royal Inland Hospital, one of the 10 Comazzetto children. She was proud to say she was born, raised and spent her life in Kamloops. The last 56 years she resided at her Valleyview home. Her home and yard were a reflection of her love of gardening and homemaking. She was an amazing cook and baker. She always welcomed visits from family and friends and there was always a plate of goodies to share. Busy raising four children, Elsie still found time to do charitable work, notably with St. Ann‘s Academy Auxillary, The Ladies of the Royal Purple and The Little Flower Society. She was a loving wife, a caring mother and a beloved Noni to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. These qualities are reflected in the closeness of her family. The family would like to thank Dr. Bantock as well as the staff at Royal Inland Hospital for their support and care. Prayers will be recited at Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 5th. The Reverend Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Tuesday, October 6th at 11:00 a.m. Should friends desire, donations in memory of Elsie may be made to The Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops B.C. V2C 2T1 would be appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

FREDERICK VALENTINE COLVILLE We are sad to announce that Frederick Valentine Colville passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 27, 2015. He was born in Biggar, Saskatchewan on December 23, 1944, the youngest child of George and Lily Colville. In 1968, he moved from Prince George to Kamloops, where Glenda was in nurses training. He married the love of his life on May 23, 1970 and they remained devoted to each other. They moved to Savona in 1976 to raise their family of two boys, an Irish setter and several orange cats. He was a sheet metal worker in the Kamloops area for 40+ years and took great pride in his work. He enjoyed watching his sons play sports. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting and camping with his family whenever they could get away. He bowled in several leagues and was a member of the North Kamloops “Interiors” team several times during the 70’s and 80’s. Fred is survived by Glenda, his wife of 45 years, son Charles (Susan), daughter-in-law Reshawn, grandchildren Nicola, Gavin, Alexa and Mya, brothers Charles (Janet), Robert (Fern), Albert (Fran) and Edward (Faye); sister-in-law Betty Koeneman, Glenda’s family: John (Donna) Hickling, Doris McCusker and Jane Hickling, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Fred was predeceased by his son Neal, sister Dorothy Kozloski, his parents and brother-in-law Dave Hickling.
We will cherish our memories! The family wishes to express our deepest appreciation to the doctors and staff in RIH Emergency, ICU, 4 North and 6 South for their extreme efforts to help Fred and his family during this very difficult time. Should friends desire, donations to the RIH Foundation or the charity of your choice would be appreciated in memory of Fred. Everyone is welcome to attend a Graveside Service at the Savona Cemetery on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 2:30 pm with the Reverend Isabel Healy-Morrow officiating. We will be gathering at the Savona Community Hall afterwards for a time of reminiscing and refreshments.

I’M GLAD I TOUCHED SHOULDERS WITH YOU
There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Critical-care paramedics Brent Carbrey (second from right) and Mike McKinnon took the Elks entourage on a tour of the helicopter, showing how the $15,000 device will be put to work helping to save lives. Until now, it has not been safe for rescuers to provide chest compressions inside a helicopter for any period of time due to a variety of factors. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Fish run has now begun Plura Hills United Church is once again challenging the community to donate extra cans of salmon and tuna to the Kamloops Food Bank. The Adams River salmon run will be smaller than expected, but the church is keeping its seafood theme for October. The food drive is undertaken each year because salmon and tuna are brain food. Kids are back in school and need the extra protein. Fish is also the sign of Christianity. Other churches are urged to join the cause. Plura Hills members pick up donations, which can also be dropped off at the church at 2090 Pacific Way. Previous years have seen more than 1,000 tins of salmon and tuna donated to the food bank. For more information, call Donna at 250 372 2470.
New dock at Tunkwa increases angler access Kamloops anglers will be able to enjoy fishing more easily and more often thanks to the installation of a new fishing dock at Tunkwa Lake, which is west of Kamloops and north of Logan Lake. Located in Tunkwa Lake Provincial Park near the boat launch adjacent to the campground, the dock was installed in advance of the fall fishing season, when fish are more catchable from a dock as trout move on to the shoals to feed. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC annually stocks Tunkwa Lake with 40,000 rainbow trout yearlings. “Adding dock access to Tunkwa Lake is an exciting step for us in removing barriers for people wishing to enjoy the angling experience,” said
Dana Atagi, vice-president of the society. “A dock allows people to be catching fish in less time and with less expense — and we hope more people will give it a try.” Under a new agreement with the provincial government, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC receives 100 per cent of fishing-licence revenue to invest in infrastructure and services to support freshwater fishing in the province. With the increased revenue, the society is investing in additional research and infrastructure projects across the province, including new docks to make access to angling easier. Easier access to popular fishing spots and stocked lakes supports the society’s goal to reduce barriers to the sport of
angling, resulting in greater angler participation. To further reduce barriers to the sport, rods and gear are available to borrow for free from the Kamloops Visitor Centre across from Aberdeen Mall. Jointly sponsored by the society, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and Rapala, the Rod Loan Program gives people an opportunity to try angling before investing in rods and tackle. It also makes angling available to visitors who often do not pack their fishing gear with them. Anglers 16 or older are required to purchase a freshwater fishing licence. Details about all society programs can be found online at gofishbc.com.
On the buses at TRU as university gets a gift Thompson Rivers University trades students studying mechanics now have a new piece of equipment to help with their education — a passenger motorcoach. The vehicle was given to the university by PWTransit Ltd., a division of Pacific Western Transportation. The bus, valued at $45,000, has an Allison transmission that includes some special features that will be a benefit for the students learning to work on it. Lindsay Langill, dean of the school of trades and technology, said the donation provides current technology in a full-scale way that is of such benefit to all the students in the heavy-mechanical program. “Companies that donate to trades schools are filling a much-needed void in our capital acquisition structure and helping technical schools keep inventory current,” he said. “At the end of the day, the students win and the companies that hire these students into their sustainable workforce also gain.”

StatsCan says GDP grew in July CRAIG WONG
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Looking to shake off its slump, the Canadian economy grew for a second consecutive month in July, helped by a continuing rebound in the oilsands following slowdowns related to maintenance and forest fires. Statistics Canada said yesterday that real gross domestic product grew 0.3 per cent in July, topping the 0.2 per cent growth economists had expected, according to a consensus forecast compiled by Thomson Reuters. However, the federal agency revised downward its result for June to show growth of 0.4 per cent compared with an initial reading of 0.5 per cent. BMO senior economist Benjamin Reitzes said in a report that GDP growth for the third quarter is tracking on a range of 2.5 to 3.0 per cent. “The back-to-back gains in GDP (in June and July) suggest that the economy rebounded firmly from the very weak first half of 2015,’’ Reitzes said. Canada briefly fell into recession in the first half after five consecutive months of contraction produced two quarters of negative growth. Growth in June reversed the trend and many economists expect the economy to perform better in the second half of the year. However TD Bank economist Diana Petramala cautioned that while the third quarter was looking
stronger than expected, questions remain about whether the pace will be sustained in the last three months of the year. Petramala noted the Pan Am Games in Toronto and the FIFA Women’s World Cup likely boosted the economy in June and July. “The rebound in oil-related sectors has been actually quite strong as well, but oil prices took another leg down in July so some of that optimism might be temporary heading into August and September,’’ she said. The economic report came in the midst of a federal election that has featured the economy has a key issue for all the parties. Conservative Finance Minister Joe Oliver touted his government’s plan. “Canada is going to have solid strong growth in the second half of the year and experience positive growth for the full year,’’ Oliver said. “We’ve been talking about how our low tax plan for jobs and growth is working, that we must stay the course, particularly in the context of global instability.’’ But, Unifor economist Jim Stanford said, the rebound in the energy sector would not be repeated. “Claiming victory because GDP is growing again after a recession is a bit like commenting on how good it feels to stop beating your head against the wall,’’ Stanford said. “And, while the June and July GDP numbers are positive, in my view it is too early to conclusively declare the recession over.”

McD’s to change model THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — McDonald’s Canada CEO John Betts says lining up to pay for Big Macs will soon be a thing of the past. The company is overhauling the way it does business, adding self-service kiosks and bringing table service and dedicated wait staff to its restaurants. The new kiosks will allow customers to personalize their orders as McDonald’s adds a premium burger to the menu with nearly 30 different options including five types of cheese and a dozen different toppings. The company said the plan will include the creation of 15,000 new jobs across the country as it adds employees who will greet customers and guide them through the ordering process. Betts said most of the 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants in Canada will be changed over by 2017.

OTTAWA — The Conservatives are conducting negotiations toward a massive 12-country trade deal — that could well prove to be their campaign centrepiece — in secret in the middle of an election, the Liberals and NDP charged yesterday. As Justin Trudeau unveiled the Liberal health-care policy plank, one of the last remaining pieces of his party’s platform, and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair promised to establish a parliamentary science officer to advise his would-be government, the Conservatives were answering awkward questions about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which could be announced, in some form, as early as tomorrow. Joe Oliver, in a rare national campaign appearance, defended the government’s right to conduct official business during the election period. The finance minister rejected
suggestions that the government’s continued pursuit of the TPP is a violation of the socalled “caretaker convention,’’ which is supposed to limit government activity during an election period. “There is a protocol in place and we, of course, consult with the Privy Council on these issues,’’ Oliver said. “When there’s a matter of importance or urgency for the government to deal with in the national interest, then it’s appropriate for us to do that. “And this is certainly one of those cases.’’ The convention also stipulates governing parties are expected to consult opposition parties on matters that could end up tying the hands of future governments. Trudeau flat out said he had “not been approached by anyone in government on the TransPacific Partnership.’’ “One of the things that we’ve
seen over the past years with this government is an approach that has been secretive, non-transparent, that hasn’t let Canadians know what it is negotiating and how it is negotiating, what is on the table,’’ he said in Surrey. “It would be unrealistic for us to expect that the whole world will stop and wait with bated breath for the outcome of Canada’s election. “But, what we need to know is that our government is negotiating in a way that is going to enhance Canadian opportunities and growth while protecting our interests.’’ Trade Minister Ed Fast is in Atlanta for a renewed round of negotiations, and speculation is rampant that an agreement in principle could emerge by the end of the week. Questions are lingering about what possible concessions Canada may have to make in agriculture and the auto sector to get a deal.

FREMONT, Calif. — Tesla Motors’ first SUV is finally on the road. Tesla officially unveiled the Model X Tuesday night at its California factory. The electric SUV is the third vehicle from 12-year-old Tesla, which currently makes only the Model S sedan. It should bring Tesla new customers and let the company capitalize on the booming market for luxury SUVs. The new SUV has three rows and seats seven. Its most unique feature is its falcon-wing rear doors, which open upward. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but CEO Elon Musk said the Model X costs $5,000 more than the Model S, which starts at $70,000. Musk announced plans for the Model X in 2012 and it was initially expected to go on sale in early 2014. Musk said its complicated design caused delays.

BERLIN — German prosecutors on Monday opened an investigation against former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn to establish what his role was in the emissions-rigging scandal that has shaken the world’s largest automaker. The investigation will concentrate on the suspicion of fraud committed through the sale of vehicles with manipulated emissions data, and aims to determine who was responsible, prosecutors in Braunschweig said in a statement. In the German system, anyone can file a criminal complaint with prosecutors, who are then obliged to examine it and decide whether there is enough evidence to open a formal investigation. In this case, following the revelations about the rigged tests, prosecutors in Braunschweig, near VW’s headquarters in Wolfsburg, received about a dozen complaints, including one from Volkswagen itself, said spokeswoman Julia Meyer. She said it was too early to say if and when prosecutors may try and interview Winterkorn himself, and that she did not know whether he already had an attorney to represent him. She said at this stage, she could not estimate how long the investigation would last. “This is a very broad case and in other such investigations it has taken many months, sometimes years,’’ she said. Winterkorn, Volkswagen’s CEO
since 2007, resigned last week in the wake of the world’s top-selling carmaker admitting that it had rigged diesel emissions to pass U.S. tests during his tenure. He said that he was going “in the interests of the company even though I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part.’’ Under German law, it is not possible to bring charges against a company, only against individuals. Meyer would not elaborate on specifics of the investigation, and it wasn’t clear what Winterkorn’s suspected role might be. There was no immediate comment from Volkswagen on the prosecutors’ decision. Fraud can carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years in Germany. The head of VW’s Porsche division, Matthias Mueller, was appointed last week as Volkswagen’s new CEO. He promised to do everything to win back the public’s trust. The company has admitted that it used a piece of engine software to cheat on diesel car emissions tests in the U.S. It will have to fix programming it has said is in some 11 million cars worldwide, far more than the 482,000 originally identified by U.S. authorities. Details on what cars are involved have emerged gradually. The group, which has 12 marques in all, said some 5 million cars made by its core Volkswagen brand had the diesel engine in question. Audi said this week that 2.1 million of its vehicles also had the engine, while Czech-based Skoda said 1.2 million vehicles were affected.
