BURN IT DOWN — UPSIDE DOWN

A truck full of gear belonging to country singer Jason Aldean went off Highway 1 west of Kamloops near Cherry Creek at about 1 a.m. on Tuesday after Aldean had wrapped up a packed concert at Sandman Centre. Kamloops Rural RCMP said the driver of the truck suffered non-lifethreatening injuries when the truck went off the right hand side of the road, striking a rock, causing the unit to flip. The truck was en route to Prince George for the next stop on Aldean’s Burn it Down tour. The accident led to Tuesday night’s Prince George concert being postponed until Wednesday night. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW

Widow wants killer to think about his crime TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Sandy Forbes was informed by parole authorities that her husband’s killer planned to move to Kamloops, she had one request. “I suggested he go to the bridge where he killed my husband a couple times a week to think about that,” Forbes, the widow of Douglas Gormley, told KTW. “I want him to feel the pain that he’s put us through. I think it could help him. He’s taken a father away, a husband away.” On March 18, 1999, Gormley was biking home from work at a downtown Kamloops restaurant.

As he crossed Overlanders Bridge, he was attacked at random by a trio of men — Neil Edwards, Bobby Narcisse and Kyle Johnny. Gorman, a 29-year-old father of two, was beaten to death. Narcisse and Johnny were convicted of manslaughter, while Edwards was found guilty of murder. The crime shook Kamloops. More than 100 people packed a courtroom to hear the verdict read. The sentencing judge called the murder “a random, unprovoked, brutal, senseless and cowardly attack on an innocent and helpless stranger.” Edwards was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 14 years.

Narcisse and Johnny were handed sentences of six and four years, respectively. In 2002, after the trio was sentenced, Forbes was part of a ceremony that saw a tree planted in Gormley’s memory in Riverside Park, not far from the bridge. Forbes said she was notified last week by the Parole Board of Canada that Edwards planned to return to Kamloops this week after spending some time at a halfway house in the Lower Mainland. “Basically, I said, ‘Well, I don’t think my opinion is going to make a difference,’” she said. “First I thought he shouldn’t. Then I thought, ‘Yeah, he should.’” Edwards was 20 at the time of the murder.

He had a youth record dating back to 1995 and, as an adult, had been convicted of two violent crimes prior to Gormley’s murder. He was described by a psychologist in court as “damaged and disturbed.” Since the murder, Forbes has remarried and now lives on Vancouver Island. She said she hopes to one day come face to face with Edwards so both of them can heal. “I’m not sure what I would say,” she said. “I know one of my sons wants an apology letter from him. But, my other son is still unsure what he wants to do.” Gormley’s sons were 11 and five years of age when Edwards was sentenced in February 2001.

Debate focuses on seniors, veterans ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

There were shots fired in all political directions at an all-candidates’ forum at the Brock Activity Centre yesterday, but it was Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod who faced the brunt of the attack when questions turned to veterans’ affairs. The question on how to improve the lives of Canada’s vets was meant to be wrapped into candidates’ closing statements but, after urging from Green candidate Matt Greenwood and some in the 150-person audience, it turned into a final opportunity for the other KamloopsThompson-Cariboo candidates to criticize the Conservative government McLeod has served in for the past seven years. “This is enough of a reason to defeat the government,” said NDP candidate Bill Sundhu, arguing the Conservatives have committed Canada to wars in Afghanistan and against ISIL while cutting supports for returning soldiers. He pledged his party would re-open nine regional Veterans Affairs offices closed while the Conservatives were in office, commit $450 million to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder and other support services for veterans and reform the Veterans Review and Appeal board. Under the Conservatives, Greenwood said,

Veterans Affairs has behaved “like a for-profit insurance agency. “Why did it take an election year for them to get around to talking to the other parties about doing something?” he asked. McLeod said her party has brought in programs to improve veterans’ lives, including programs to offer companion dogs and a new network of clinics to deal with mental-health issues. While she agreed there were “some problems” with the government’s plans for veterans returning from modern conflicts, she noted an all-party committee was able to agree on 14 recommendations to improve the services and benefits offered. “There was many, many good things about that new veterans charter, but there were some problems with the new veterans charter,” she said. “We made some changes to it. Clearly, there were some issues and I hope we have solved the issues for all veterans.” “Sounds a little bit like closing the barn door after all the horses have left,” Liberal candidate Steven Powrie replied, calling the Conservatives’ actions on the issue “incomprehensible.” Powrie said the Liberals want to offer veterans retraining initiatives after they complete their military service, as is the practice in the United States, and pledged his party would open two centres of excellence for veterans, with one

NOMINATE

focused on post-traumatic stress disorder. McLeod got in several quips of her own during the wide-ranging debate, which included questions on pensions, proportional representation, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and the long-gun registry. Asked how his government would balance the budget, Sundhu pointed to a Department of Finance report that said compared to other parties, NDP governments have had more balanced budgets as a percentage of total budgets delivered. “New Democrats have to come in and clean up the Conservative mess,” he said as a portion of the audience erupted into laughter. “I moved here in the ‘90s, so I did laugh when I heard that,” McLeod said. “I remember businesses fleeing this place.” In a nod to the debate’s seniors-centric locale, candidates also offered a sampling of policies targets for the 50-plus set, including an increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement for single, low-income seniors by 10 per cent from the Liberals, health-care improvements, including universal pharmacare, from the NDP, and a Conservative tax credit for single seniors. Greenwood said his party would work to improve the tone of the House of Commons to ensure more effective decision-making in Ottawa.

St. Vincent De Paul tired of being dumped on ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Above the entrance to the St. Vincent De Paul Society is a verse from the Book of Matthew. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” it reads. But, according to the society’s business manager, a few people in Kamloops are taking

the relief of burdens part a little too literally. Paul Bourassa said the thrift store is being treated as a dumping site on the North Shore, with people visiting after-hours and on Sundays to unload worn out furniture and garbage, rather than taking it to the city’s landfill. On Monday, Bourassa arrived at the store to find an all-toofamiliar scene, its front

entrance and wheelchair ramp blocked by a trio of couches and a host of other furniture — none of which was in condition to be sold. Leaning up against his dumpster was a chunk of broken plywood. On past mornings, the parking stalls have been filled with dirty mattresses or broken furniture. Not only is Bourassa forced away from his other duties to deal

with the mess, but the St. Vincent De Paul Society is left to pay the tipping fees at the city’s landfill. He said the cost absorbed by the society varies with the trip, but has been between $20 and $40. “We want people to be aware that this is going on, that people are going and dumping garbage at St. Vincent De Paul,” Bourassa said. “We’re here to help people and it’s taking up our

time, gas and money,” “Something has to be done. It’s an ongoing thing.” The City of Kamloops’ bylaw department did not immediately return KTW’s calls for comment. Bourassa isn’t looking to deter legitimate donations — the thrift store is filled with sellable furniture, kitchen necessities, clothing and books, all of which were at one point dropped off by donors

— but he’s hoping his appeal reaches those leaving behind their junk. St. Vincent De Paul only accepts donations during business hours — 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. The time Bourassa spends cleaning up garbage is time he could be using to sort through legitimate donations or to organize the society’s daily meals for those in need. He is now having

to consider installing security cameras, though that, too, will come at a cost to St. Vincent De Paul — more money that could be better spent elsewhere. “We’re here to help people and try to make it a better system of helping people,” Bourassa said. “Throwing garbage at St. Vincent De Paul is the opposite of what you should be doing. It’s just not a place you should be doing that.”

Free parking to remain at TCC with new kiosks New parking kiosks are up and running at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC) — and twohour parking will still be free. As of Monday, Precise ParkLink kiosks are in operation at the cityowned fitness centre. The five kiosks will replace Parktoria machines on the lot, which had to come down after that company went bankrupt earlier this year. Precise ParkLink kiosks are already in use downtown. The city isn’t charging to park for two hours at the TCC, but is asking drivers to register their licence plates at the kiosks so it can keep track of

how the lot is used. Drivers with a disabled parking permit won’t need to register. The city paid just under $58,700 for the parking stations. While parking at the TCC will remain free, a staff report to council in June suggested more tweaks could be coming once the new system is in place. “In the future, City staff will explore how the TCC’s updated parking system could potentially be leveraged to generate new revenue streams, improve the availability of parking for legitimate TCC visitors and support the City’s sustainability objectives,” the report from June noted.

Dump access routes studied A group of Valleyview residents wants trucks headed to the Owl Road dump to get off neighbourhood roads, but creating a new route to the landfill could cost the city $700,000 or more. Orchard Drive resident Michael Popoff told city council on Tuesday that he and others in the neighbourhood want trucks off Valleyview Drive and Owl Road. Instead, they want traffic rerouted from Highway 1 up Highland Road, with a new access road leading to the landfill. Popoff said speeding traffic and poor sight lines, coupled with a large volume of schoolchildren, pedestrians and cyclists, have created unsafe conditions at several Valleyview intersections leading to the dump, “There’s constant daily nearcollisions between bikers, walkers, runners, and automobiles

there,” he said. The city agreed to purchase the landfill for $10 million earlier this year, with plans to turn it into a resource-recovery centre to divert building materials from the Mission Flats landfill. The site would also be used as a satellite public works yard. Original permits for the Owl Road landfill — and the city’s preliminary business case when it purchased the site — showed Highland Road as the preferred route into the dump, Popoff said, but an access point has never materialized. Public works director Jen Fretz said while the city considered changing access, it was deemed too expensive and abandoned early on. She estimated linking Highland Road to the dump would cost about $1 million — $700,000 more than the city has in its acquisition budget. “Because it was such a significant cost difference to go off Highland Road, we didn’t look at it any further,” she said. Mayor Peter Milobar said he

wants city staff to study the two routes to determine which is safer. “Half-a-million dollars on the life span of that is nothing as opposed to saving half-a-million dollars and creating a 50-year headache for people,” he said. Council agreed unanimously to ask for a study on the pros and cons of the two routes — and will make a decision on how to access the dump at a later date. Coun. Tina Lange wants to see the city crack down on speeding traffic through Valleyview, which she called a longstanding neighbourhood issue. “Every couple of months we receive an email from someone saying, ‘When is the city going to slow down traffic on Valleyview Drive?’”she said, suggesting staff look at speed bumps to make it less attractive to commuters from Juniper Ridge and Orchards Walk, who could be directed onto the highway instead.

Public input sought on plan A high-end residential, commercial and industrial development behind Thompson Rivers University is getting a second round of public comment. Developers Jeff Arnold and Frank Quinn are looking to add more general office space and a larger pub or restaurant to their District 1452 complex at 1452 McGill Rd. The pair also wants another piece of surplus land they have purchased from the city rezoned to become part of the site. The other 2.7 acres were purchased from the city in 2013 for $2.2 million.

In an earlier interview, Quinn told KTW the complex would be marketed to businesses whose employees want to live close to work and modelled on Vancouver’s Yaletown. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski told city council on Tuesday he’s not concerned about the new pub plans, since the additional land will provide parking space for patrons. But, staff is concerned about the increase in office space outside of the city’s core. Kwiatkowski said

both the city’s official community plan and its city-centre plan call for office space to be downtown, noting increasing the amount of space available in other areas will likely lead to increased vacancies downtown. While staff gave council the option to leave the office space request out of the public hearing, Coun. Ken Christian said he wants to hear what the public has to say on all aspects of the design.

Radon alert

The B.C. Lung Association is encour-

aging Kamloopsians to test their homes for radon gas this fall, as part of Radon Awareness Month. Scott MacDonald president and CEO of the B.C. Lung Association told Kamloops city council Tuesday the gas is the second highest cause of lung cancer after smoking, accounting for 16 per cent of lung cancer deaths. Studies conducted by the lung association in Prince George and Castlegar found high numbers of homes where gas levels exceeded Health Canada’s guidelines. Testing kits are available through the lung association online at radonaware.ca.

Fatal Kamloops accident sparks Charter argument CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Court of Appeal will hear a challenge tomorrow to the conviction of Wayne Fedan, who a year ago this month was found guilty of dangerous driving causing death in a North Kamloops accident that killed two people. The appeal will be heard in Kamloops. City lawyers Anthony Varesi and Micah Rankin, a Thompson Rivers

University law professor, are challenging Fedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conviction based on a police seizure of the black box from Fedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickup truck. The B.C. Court of Appeal will become the highest court in Canada to determine whether police are required to obtain a search warrant before seizing vehicle black boxes following accidents. Fedan was found guilty in connection to the March 20, 2010, fatal accident

that killed 20-year-old Brittany Plotnikoff and 38-year-old Kenneth Craigdaillie. The pickup crashed in a turn beside McArthur Island Park. All three were at a party together and Fedan was driving them home. Following the crash, RCMP seized the black box from Fedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck without a warrant, what his lawyers say is a breach of Fedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Last year, Justice Deborah Kloegman sentenced Fedan to a

three-year prison term and banned him from driving for three years after his release from jail. Kloegman found Fedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot was on the accelerator as he rounded the turn at more than twice the posted speed limit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; data gleaned by a police accident reconstructionist from the black box. The 53-year-old construction worker was also charged with impaired driving death, but Kloegman ruled his blood-alcohol

readings couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be entered as evidence due to improper

Accused may have been psychotic CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The prosecution played video in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops yesterday of Damien Taylor acting calmly in the hours before and after it claims he murdered CJ Fowler. Five minutes of video taken from the Greyhound depot in Kamloops showed Taylor sitting with his back to the door, doing little but looking in his backpack. That activity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said appears to be Taylor acting in â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely normal fashionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; contrasts Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of hallucinating and running from what he believed were his pursuers after waking up to find his 16-year-old girlfriend dead on the ground on Dec. 5, 2012. Taylor, 24, is on trial, charged with seconddegree murder in connection to the death. Currie noted Taylor sat with his back to the entrance of the depot, showed no obvious twitches and not appearing hyperactive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Taylor is doing

none of those things,â&#x20AC;? Currie said of classic physical symptoms of crystal-meth intoxication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to suggest this is markedly inconsistent with someone experiencing psychosis from crystal meth.â&#x20AC;? But, a forensic psychologist who examined Taylor over eight hours and who was called to testify for the defence, said that, despite his unperturbed demeanour, Taylor may have been psychotic from days of crystal-meth use and lack of sleep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He appears calm in that five minutes [of Greyhound bus depot video],â&#x20AC;? agreed Dr. Sunette Lessing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[But] even people who are psychotic can appear calm.â&#x20AC;? Lessing added neither the Greyhound video, nor video taken at Royal

Inland Hospital three hours earlierâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; when the pair was last seen together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; show Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychosis or lack thereof. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This video would not prove or disprove that,â&#x20AC;? Lessing said. Lessing also testified that Taylor told her he was hearing voices during their first interview, what she said was an attempt to fake symptoms of mental illness. But his accounts of hearing voices during crystal meth use is believable, Lessing added. Taylor testified earlier in the trial that the days before Fowler died were taken up selling and consuming crystal meth, cocaine and marijuana. Fowler went to RIH, where she was accompanied by Taylor, complaining of symptoms from drug use. Crystal meth was found in her body.

While Taylor frequently asked for questions to be repeated during cross examination and gave conflicting accounts of some of his actions, Lessing said he scores well on most measures of intelligence. But, she added, his short-term memory is on par with a senior with dementia and he has little abstract intelligence. Asked to say what an orange and an apple have in common, Taylor told her they both have peels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; correct, but showing a purely literal understanding. Most people, Lessing said, would say they are fruit. The trial is scheduled to continue today.

ADD TPP TO LIST OF ITEMS TO STUDY

hat do Thomas Mulcair and Donald Trump have in common? Both rejected the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal before it was released. To be fair, trade deals traditionally have a polarizing effect on people. So, it’s not that surprising that the leader of the federal NDP and the bombastic Republican presidential hopeful found reasons to hate the historic agreement. What is disappointing is they hated it so quickly. The trade deal tentatively agreed to this week had an eight-year gestation period. It involves 12 Pacific Rim countries that comprise 40 per cent of the world’s economy. Specific details have yet to be released, but what we do know is the TPP will have tremendous impact on the Canadian economy — including in the Kamloops region with the reduced tariffs for beef exports. The goal of the agreement is to ease trade restrictions between the participating countries, enhancing the movement of goods and opening new markets that had previously been closed. Canada, as an exporting nation, benefits when trade restrictions are removed. However, there is a cost —and that is what worried dairy farmers and poultry producers. Both sectors are highly regulated under Canada’s supply-management program. The program provides stability in an industry that might otherwise fall victim to the vagaries of an unrestricted free market. Countries wanting access to our market have traditionally cited our supply-management system as an unfair impediment to trade. Early rumours suggested supply management might be one sacrifice Canada would have to make, but that does not seem to be the case. There remains much to be learned about the trade deal and Canadians will have the opportunity for that review. All we can hope is that Canadian political leaders take the time to read the thing before pronouncing a final verdict by vote in Parliament.

Yes, I am afraid of outcome

wise and informed friend asked me if recent online postings that dump on the Conservative party and its leader are by design. “Are you just doing that so you don’t have to cover the election?” she asked. That’s not the intention — although this is one election I would hate to be covering right now because, every day, it makes me angry. Yes, I’m also afraid — but not of Muslims who choose to honour their culture. I’m afraid we’re about to create a Canada where Donald Trump, Scott Walker and Ted Cruz would feel at home. I’m afraid we’re about to create a Canada that decries domestic violence, but sees nothing wrong with hitting a woman wearing a niqab. I’m afraid of living in a Canada governed by the likes of James Cumming in Edmonton Centre, who reportedly told a University of Alberta law professor that he should renounce his heritage if the professor is concerned about the Bill C-24’s possible effect on his daughters, both of whom have dual Canada-Nigeria citizenship. I don’t want a government that would include Nova Scotia Conservative Robert Strickland, who told a young voter — the demographic all studies shows is not engaged in the election process — to “gain some experience in life” when he was pushed on questions about the economy and environment. Canada does not need a governing party incapable of vetting its candidates, one that creates the likes of former Toronto candidate

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL Jagdish Grewal, now dumped by the same party that supported him, who was discovered to have declared earlier this year homosexuality is unnatural behaviour that can be cured by therapy. He is not the only instance that leaves me worried about just who the Conservatives see as their base. There’s Montreal Conservative candidate Richard Sagala, who compared Nunavut to be akin to South Africa in terms of violence. Said Saga: “We tried to do some delegation of power to them and this is what happened.” That is pure and simple ignorance and that is not who I want in control of my Canada. They’re not alone; there’s Winnipeg Conservative candidate Joyce Bateman, who has drawn up a list of Liberal candidates and volunteers she considers to be enemies of Israel. Do we want someone like that in a government that has now tied citizenship to its particular view of treason? Is it treasonous to not share the federal government’s view of Israel? There’s Tim Dutaud, for-

merly a Conservative candidate in Toronto, who thinks it’s funny to mock people with mental disabilities, a truth not found by Conservative vetters, but by YouTube videos showing him being that offensive. Closer to home, there is former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts, who includes in her campaign literature a headline: “ISIS urges jihadists to attack Canada: You will not feel secure in your bedrooms” — quotes taken from media stories. She campaigns on fear, nothing more. I post these stories and more on social media daily, sometimes several times a day, in hopes that people who don’t vote will do so this time. I post to encourage Conservatives to stop and ask themselves if this is the party they started out supporting. I do it because I don’t want a prime minister who was found in contempt of Parliament four years ago, who said he wouldn’t appoint senators and spent a lot of time ignoring that promise, who won’t let scientists talk about their science and who sees nothing wrong with destroying libraries of vital information. I don’t want more years of government by a man who was called “Stalinesque” by Michael Harris, author of Party of One, the bestselling book about Harper’s time in government. “My bottom line on this guy is, he hates democracy,” Harris has said. “He doesn’t care about truth and cares only about the perception of what benefits him. In that way, he’s way worse [than his predecessors].” dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WILL WORK YES, SYRIA IS CANADA’S PROBLEM AS A TEAM ON WORDS Editor: Christopher Foulds’ words in his Oct. 2 Newsroom Musings column (‘Unearth your potential? No!’) were a breath of reality-infused fresh air amongst the septic, paranoid twitching of Thompson Rivers University’s self-appointed P.C. Police Kaptin and PR Wing Nut. I read with wry amusement Foulds’ redefinition of the situation, nodding in agreement along the way until, suddenly, the ride screeched to a stop before slamming into a brick wall as he suggested his version of a new slogan. Is he serious? “Where Mines Meet”? Did I miss something here or am I wearing the kind of glasses that allow me to detect chemtrails infecting my floride? I do, however, like both Foulds’ enthusiasm and trajectory of thought. In an effort to save some money for TRU, I offer my 10 years in the industry of persuasive word trickery free of charge to work with Foulds to come up with an effective and captivating new tagline for our place of learning — provided I end up with a new computer to replace this wind-up version I type upon now. Darrell D’Orsay Kamloops

Editor: In a Sept. 29 letter to the editor (‘Not Canadian problem’), E.A. Stratichuk claimed the troubles in Syria are only and entirely Arabcaused. I would like to offer a wider perspective on whether or not the mess in Syria, and the wider region, is at all a Canadian problem. I assume that, because Canada has shared in the actions of Western countries, we share responsibility for the results of those actions. To begin with, the very borders of these countries, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf, were created by Western powers about a century ago at the time of The Great War. Mark Sykes (a Brit) and Francois Georges-Picot (a Frenchman) created borders that largely ignored the history of the region and the nuances of local populations. They thereby created problems

just waiting to happen. To give one example, the Kurds were not given an autonomous homeland and their population was divided into at least four countries: Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Unfortunately, the only way some of these externally created countries could maintain any semblance of peaceful internal and external co-existence was by having a Strong Man, such as Saddam Hussein or Bashar al-Assad, in charge. A century later, this Sykes-Picot arrangement is now unravelling with disastrous consequences. Add to this the more recent developments that Western nations have been selling arms in the region for decades and have been attacking and bombing their populations since at least 2001. In that year, Canada entered its war in Afghanistan and, in 2003, the Americans and British went into Iraq under the false pretenses

of eliminating weapons of mass destruction. Though Canada has been a relative bit player in this drama, we have played a role in at least Afghanistan and Syria. I wonder how Canadians would react if our country had been invaded or bombed for years on end? I suspect we would also react in frustration and violence. The situation is more complex than anybody can describe in a few brief paragraphs, but I see it as obvious that the problems are not solely caused by the local people who are, by the way, not all Arab or all Muslim. Local forces do bear much responsibility. Inasmuch as we also bear some responsibility for the mess, we bear some responsibility for assisting the victims that we have helped to create. Ron Ste Marie Kamloops

ACTUALLY, WE DID NOT ASK HIM TO RUN Editor: In the Sept. 29 edition of Kamloops This Week, local NDP candidate Bill Sundhu left the impression he had been approached by the Liberal Party of Canada to run as a Liberal candidate in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo in this election. At no time did the party, either at the electoraldistrict level or nationally, ask Sundhu to be the candidate for the Liberal party in Kamloops-

Thompson-Cariboo. Sundhu had been a member of the Liberal party for a couple of years and was the policy chair while I was local riding president. After a time, Sundhu left our party. Murray Todd former president Liberal Party of Canada Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

LOCAL NEWS

Open house at Fire Station No. 1 Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) is hosting an open house on Saturday as part of Fire Prevention Week, the theme of which is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.” The open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Fire Station 1, 1205 Summit Dr. The parking lot will be closed to vehicles and arrangements have been made with Sahali Mall for the public to park in its lot during the open house. The day will feature firesafety education, tours of the Fire Hall Museum and fire dispatch, demonstrations of fire apparatus and fire extinguishers and activities for the kids, including the inflatable Fire Safety House. A barbecue will also take place, with all donations going to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. The 2016 Fire Fighter Calendar will also be available for purchase. “Fire prevention has to be

a priority in our community,” KFR Chief Dale McLean said. “With the majority of structure fires occurring in our homes, KFR has to focus on public education to ensure the citizens of our community are safe from fire in their homes.” According to statistics, half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep. Smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths and three out of five fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. “By having working smoke alarms in your home, you increase the chances of surviving a house fire by at least 50 per cent,” KFR Capt. Sheldon Guertin said. Other fire safety tips for the home include: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, includ-

ing the basement. • Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do. • Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. • Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly. • Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it. • If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place. • Call the fire department from outside the home. At the open house, enter a contest to have your home set up with interconnected smoke/ CO alarms.

REGION’S LARGEST HIRING FAIR ON OCT. 26 More than 45 of Kamloops’ largest employers will take part in a local hiring fair on Monday, Oct. 26. The free event is organized by Open Door Group and WorkBC, who operate the Employment Service Centres in the area, and will be held at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen, from noon to 4 p.m. “The Kamloops Hiring Fall Fair is the largest local hiring event of its kind in the region,” said Mallory Bilodeau of Open Door Group. The purpose of the hiring fair is to give job seekers the opportunity to meet face-to-face with a variety of potential employers, develop a network of local professional contacts and help both sides ask and answer questions. While the list of employers and organiza-

tions continues to grow, confirmed employer attendees include Walmart, Safeway, Investors Group, Mike Wiegle Helicopter Skiing, Tim Hortons, Tolko, Chances Casino, Moxies, Peavy Mart and the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. Those seeking work do not need to register; however, job seekers should show up prepared. Job-seeking attendees should research the companies at the fair, dress appropriately, bring several copies of their resume and be prepared to talk about abilities and skills. Attendees should practice their “elevator pitch,” which is a quick summary of their talents and why they would be a good addition to an employers’s team. For more information on the hiring fair, contact Bilodeau by phone at 250-434-9441 or by email at mallory.bilodeau@opendoorgroup.org.

Last chance to register for forestry talk UBC is heading to Kamloops to talk about forestry — and, in particular, how it affects the environment. Today is the deadline for registration, which can be done online at alumni.ubc.ca/forestry. UBC alumni relations officer Janna Kellett said the Wednesday, Oct. 14, event will include information gleaned from research the university’s faculty of forestry is doing, studies addressing climate

change, health links to forestry, habitat loss and minimizing the effects of wildfires. It will even bring in the concept of educational video games as students are working with Forest Humus Forms Quest, a game designed for smartphones that leads them through identifying soil and plants in the forest, answering questions along the way. The game was developed by Maja Krzic, a soil scientist at UBC who said it brings a sense

of exploration and discovery students might not find in a classroom lecture. The session — open to anyone, but designed to engage the large communities of foresters and UBC alumni in the Kamloops region — will be held in the Terrace Room at Hotel 540, 540 Victoria St., from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call Kirsten Armour at 1-855-4275767 or email kirsten.armour@ ubc.ca.

s the Tournament Capital boils potatoes and puts birds in the oven, the Pack will be looking to avoid getting burned by the Heat. Thompson Rivers and UBC-Okanagan are set to do battle on pitches in Kamloops and Kelowna this weekend and the playoffs are very much on the line for both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer clubs. Already nemeses, their rivalry is about to reach new heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need much, but this will probably take it to another level. For both teams, these are critical games,â&#x20AC;? said menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach John Antulov. His team enters the weekend 1-41, four points back of UBC-Okanagan (2-4-2) and six points back of the fourth and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has always been a natural rivalry, but a good rivalry,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The coaches get along, a lot of the players get along but, when it gets on the field, that friendship kind of goes to the side a little bit.â&#x20AC;? The Kelowna-Kamloops feud is one that has brewed for much of the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer careers. For those who grew up in Kamloops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eight players on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and 14 on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kelowna was the team to beat throughout their youth soccer days, too. They watched as the rival Blazers and Rockets did battle on the WHL ice, they listened as their parents and friends compared the amenities in the River City with those in the Little Apple. The cities are rivals in every possible way. They may be neighbours, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically to see who the top team is in the Interior,â&#x20AC;? womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach Tom McManus said of the rivalry. Playing a home-and-home series

Taylor Miller and the TRU WolfPack menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer teams will renew acquaintances with the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna this weekend. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

this weekend only adds to the pressure cooker on the soccer pitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other good thing is that, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so close to each other, our fans go down there, their fans come up here. You still get some support from the crowd,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also love it when I hear the fans shouting it out from the Kelowna side. That means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing well.â&#x20AC;? On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup also has playoff implications. Thompson Rivers (2-5-1) has a tenuous hold on sixth place in the West Division â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the final playoff spot. UBCOkanagan (1-4-3) is just one point behind in seventh. Like the men, the women may look back on this weekend as the make-or-break moment in their

return to the post-season. Both clubs will take to the pitch at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, playing under the lights as the women take the field at 5 p.m. and the men at 7 p.m. Already by that point, they will have one of two matches under their belts, playing the first contests of the weekend series on Friday in Kelowna. A rivalry that needs no additional fire, Kamloops versus Kelowna is sure to find it this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always, with a rivalry, you always want to prove that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better. You always want to push it harder,â&#x20AC;? said fifth-year midfielder and Kamloops native Braeden Burrows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might help out a bit, but I think every weekend we come out wanting to win.â&#x20AC;?

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; First baseman Chris Colabello experiences Blue Jays fever every time he looks at his phone or steps out his door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty epic,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. Colabello, a platoon player who readily admits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere near the top of the Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star pecking order, said just getting a cup of coffee is an adventure these days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to how much this city loves their team and appreciates what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done for them,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we hope to continue it for them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; added left-fielder Ben Revere. Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild ride this season will go up a gear today when the Blue Jays host the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of their American League Division Series. Game time is 12:37 p.m. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first visit to the post-season since winning a second straight World Series in 1993 and interest is booming. Toronto ace David Price will face Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yovani Gallardo in the series opener, while Marcus Stroman, adding a new chapter to his remarkable comeback from spring training knee surgery, takes on Rangers marquee man

Cole Hamels in Game 2 tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. The best-of-five series will then descend on Texas for the next two games, if necessary, with Game 5 in Toronto, if needed. A relaxed bunch of Jays met the media on Tuesday before working out at the Rogers Centre to the diverse sounds of Miguel, Beck, Fetty Wap, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, the Zac Brown Band and Hardwell. Promotions for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game flashed on the giant scoreboard as the players held batting practice. Earlier, manager John Gibbons leaned back in his chair as he chatted with reporters in his office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know [in] the playoffs. Everybody will tell you that . . . But, I feel confident in the group. I know they feel confident. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to go out and play it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; GM Alex Anthopoulos, whose acquisitions at the trade deadline helped trigger the Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second-half surge, said all he can do now is watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to tell myself â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Look, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re powerless. Try to enjoy it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said.

Huber suffers defeat ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It wasn’t Ken Huber’s night. Battling illness and what doctors called a heart murmur in his pre-fight medical, the Kamloops Boxing Academy fighter lost a four-round decision to Vancouver’s Samuel King Moses at a CombSport BC event in Richmond on the weekend. The fight was for a Silver Gloves title in the cruiserweight weight class. It was just the sixth loss of the Kamloops fighter’s career. His record stands at 28-6, with

two knockout victories. “The guy is tough, he came forward. I held the centre of the ring the whole time, I kept pushing him back, moving him back, but honestly, I bet I didn’t

throw 10 punches the whole fight,” Huber said, recapping the match. “Just a really off night, to sum it all up.” Despite the loss, Huber maintains both his title belts — he is the CombSport B.C. heavyweight and cruiserweight title holder. King Moses will have the opportunity to defend his newly won Silver Gloves title, should he choose to, at an event next year. The weekend’s fight was Huber’s first since April, when he defeated Fernie fighter Bob Larson by knockout to win his heavyweight title.

Broncos reap offensive awards Six Kamloops Broncos were named 2015 B.C. Football Conference offensive all-stars. Quarterback Stephen Schuweiler, receivers Derek Yachison and Devin Csincsa, running back Jacob Palmarin and offensive linemen Cameron Brown and Derek Walde were named to the team yesterday morning. Schuweiler led the league in completions (213), passing yards (3,050) and touchdown passes (27). Palmarin led the way in carries (121), rushing yards (1,089) and rushing touchdowns (13).

Desjardins, Canucks eye return to playoffs DENIS GORMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Vancouver Canucks for years were a team built on speed and skill. Entering their second year under general manager Jim Benning, the

Canucks are emphasizing hard work and a pack mentality as they try to return

to the playoffs. “Our culture is that we’re a hard-working team that [sticks] up for one another,’’ Benning said. “I think that was evident last year with the way we played, that’s the way Willie [Desjardins] coaches. When you look at our culture it’s about hard work and competitiveness.” The Canucks opened the 2015-2016 regular season against the hometown Calgary Flames last night after KTW’s press deadline. Vancouver piled up 101 points last season, but lost to

Calgary in the Western Conference quarterfinals. They finished 48-29-5 in Desjardins’ first season and in the off-season added forwards Brandon Sutter and Brandon Prust, among others. They lost defenceman Kevin Bieksa and centre Nick Bonino. There are questions in goal, too. Ryan Miller and Jacob Markstrom are the top choices. Along with the new faces, some things to watch for from Vancouver: IDENTITY CRISIS?: On the eve of the season, Benning was still

uncertain as to what the Canucks are. “That’s hard to tell right now,’’ Benning said. “I’ve liked our training camp so far, the guys have worked hard but [until] we get the full lineup together I can’t really tell where we’re at.’’ PUNCHING UP: What to get the team that was tied for fifth overall in fighting majors last season? The individual player whose 16 fights were third-most in the NHL. On July 1, Benning traded Zack Kassian to Montreal for Prust and a fifth-round draft pick. Why?

29,995

“I just felt like last year other teams took liberties with some of our guys,’’ Benning said. “Brandon Prust, he fits our culture of hard work and he’s a competitive guy.’’ POWER SURGE FOR SUTTER?: Benning traded Bonino, Adam Clendening and a 2016 second-round pick to Pittsburgh for Sutter. A bottom-six centre in Pittsburgh, Sutter tallied 21 goals and 33 points in 80 games. In Vancouver, he will see power-play minutes and might improve his numbers significantly. RIFLIN’ RADIM: One

of the positives for the Canucks last season was Radim Vrbata’s offensive production. The 33-year old set a career high in points with 63 and his 31 goals led the team. More of the same will be expected in 2015-2016 if the Canucks have playoff aspirations. SENIOR SEDINS: The identical faces of the franchise each just turned 35. At an age when many players begin to see a precipitous drop in production, both Daniel and Henrik Sedin are coming off 70-point seasons.

Colts quiet on Luck’s status Tannehill apologizes MICHAEL MAROT

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck’s prognosis for tonight’s game is still under wraps and that’s how the Colts plan to keep it. After missing his first NFL game Sunday because of an injured right shoulder, the Indianapolis quarterback returned to a light practice Monday and felt well enough to lob two short screen passes to running backs during the portion open to reporters. Apparently, that was all coach Chuck Pagano needed to be convinced Luck was on the mend. “He looked good,’’ Pagano said following a walkthrough in which nobody was wearing helmets or pads. “He’s moving in the right direction, trending in the right direction so he’s a lot better than he was Saturday. He had a good day.’’ Pagano declined to say what else — if anything — Luck actually did after reporters left. Luck was listed as a limited participant with his status day to day. What people want to know is whether the pivot will reclaim his starting job at Houston (1-3). Luck wasn’t dropping any hints Monday. The short week prompted team officials to move his regularly scheduled Monday interview session to Tuesday. Backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Indianapolis Colts would like to have quarterback Andrew Luck in the lineup tonight, but his status is unknown for the game against the Houston Texans.

who was 30 of 47 with 282 yards and one touchdown in Sunday’s 16-13 overtime win over Jacksonville, didn’t provide much insight, either. “This is his hometown,’’ Hasselbeck said, referring to Houston. “He doesn’t give me snaps in practice, so I know if he can make it happen, he’s going to make it happen.’’ Last week, Pagano said he was “supremely confident’’ Luck would play against the Jaguars. At game time, Luck was inactive. The Colts’ actions Monday may have provided a blueprint for

what to expect this week. Josh Johnson, the No. 3 quarterback who was signed Friday, was waived Monday and replaced by cornerback Shaun Prater. Even Luck’s injury remains unclear. One report Monday said Luck sustained a partially separated throwing shoulder in a Week 3 victory at Tennessee. Pagano quickly dismissed it. “I never heard that,’’ he said. “Sore shoulder is what I heard.’’ With or without Luck, the Colts (2-2) face a pivotal matchup against J.J. Watt and the Texans.

DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill says he became frustrated during a recent practice and regrets that he disparaged two teammates. Annoyed that defensive players were practicing aggressively during a workout that’s typically low-key the day before a game, Tannehill sarcastically told two players they would receive a “scout team trophy.’’ Neither player is a starter. The incident occurred Saturday in London, one day before the Dolphins’ loss there to the New York Jets. Reports of the episode created a buzz on the Internet. “I hold myself to a higher standard than

to take a shot like that,’’ Tannehill said yesterday. “I’ve talked to those guys and cleared the air with them, and we’re moving forward. This is behind us.’’ Tannehill said he was unhappy during the practice because he felt the tone made it harder for the offence to accomplish its work. “I was heated,’’ he said. “I’m very passionate about this game. I put a lot into my preparation and how I go about my business. It’s the day before the game and it’s crucial for our preparation. I did get upset.’’ The mood has been tense in recent weeks for the Dolphins (1-3), who have lost three games in a row and replaced coach Joe Philbin with Dan Campbell on Monday.

WALTER JOSEF GAISER On October 6, 2015, a beautiful fall day just days before his 85th birthday, Walter died at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home overlooking the Kamloops hills and the Thompson Rivers that he loved. Walter was born October 15, 1930 in Oberkirch, Germany the son of Josef and Franziska(Maier) Gaiser. He apprenticed with a Mercedes Benz dealer in Germany at the age of 14 and after completing his apprenticeship, in September 1949, he began a lifetime of working at a job he loved – that of automechanic. He immigrated to Canada with his brother, Werner, in August of 1951, and after his arrival in Winnipeg, he initially worked on a farm. Not finding that too much to his liking, he then went into the bush to work for the winter, earning money that helped his brother Werner bring his family over to Canada. After some unforgettable experiences in the bush he moved, in 1952, to Humboldt, Saskatchewan where he boarded with the Pape family. His mother and step father, Alex Wormsbecker later immigrated and he helped support them on his wages of 90¢ an hour. Moving to Kamloops to work in the fall of 1955, he found a job with Wilson Motors in North Kamloops and then returned to Humboldt in December to marry his sweetheart, Lena Pape, and bring her back to Kamloops to live. He was a well-respected member of the Kamloops business community for many years, owning Star Motors in North Kamloops and Valleyview and then Gaiser Services in North Kamloops. He is still remembered by many people in town as “Mr. Mercedes”. He had the ability and the patience to fix anything - he could fix what no one else could! His talents have been a definite asset to the Red Cross equipment loan service since 2003. In his younger days, he was an active soccer player and downhill skier. He loved to fly, owning his own plane for a number of years, and belonging to the Kamloops Flying Club where he served in a variety of positions. He began playing golf in the 1960’s and from then on to the present was an avid golfer belonging to the Kamloops Golf and Country Club until 2013. Since his marriage to Gill in 1996 he also participated in many activities that brought him much enjoyment – dancing, hiking, cross-country skiing, canoeing and biking. As one of the founding members of the “Walkie-Talkies” in 2001 he enjoyed the wonderful camaraderie of the group and participating in as many of their activities as he was able. Walter was predeceased by his first wife Lena, his brother Werner and sister Christa. He is survived by his wife Gillian, daughter Caroline Gaiser of Vancouver and stepsons Jonathon(Cheryl) McIntyre of Abbotsford(children Braedon(Emma), Bryce and Shanice) and Craig(Becky) McIntyre of Kamloops(children Dustin(Heather), Mathew, Emily and Sarah).

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  MARY MARIA (PROSSER) BEGLEY Our mother, Mary, was born on September 18, 1920 to Charles and Ann Prosser of Newport, South Wales. Mom was the middle child of two sisters and a brother. Mom was a strong willed person who always called it as she saw it. As a child learning to ride a bike she fell and broke her arm. She needed screws to hold the bones together to give them time to heal. The next week after returning from the hospital, she was back on that bike and learned to ride with cast, screws and all. During the war, she was made floor supervisor in the munitions factory at the age of 22, unheard of in that day. Mary met her husband to be, William Robert Begley, in a little park in London. After a few hours, Dad said he would be marrying Mary. Her response, “No bloody way”. They were married two years later in August of 1945 in Newport. Dad was determined, too.

July 13, 1937 – October 4, 2015

She made her way to Canada alone aboard a small ship with several other war brides. Left in Halifax, trucked to the train station and left to board and find her way to Vancouver, where she rejoined our Dad. Married life was hard as they had nothing. Mom always had a garden She learned to be frugal, a virtue she and Dad passed on to their daughters. Hard work, and thriftiness helped her and Dad to have a good life together. They went on several cruises to Alaska, the Carribean and through the Panama Canal. The best cruise, she thought, was to the Mediterranean. Mom loved travel and enjoyed her Hydro trips to Reno. When our Father passed on December 17, 2003, Mom stopped travelling for a time. Her last cruise was to Frisco and L.A. Of course, there was a stop over in Vegas. Our mother enjoyed games of chance. Mom often went to the casinos, where she never won a sausage, as she put it. She loved the stage shows and was particularly fond of The Lion King. Mom went on many short trips to places she and Dad had been to on vacation. She revisited Salmon Arm, Echo Beach, Loon Lake, Cache Creek, Vernon, Kelowna, and Adams Lake, to name a few. After she broke her pelvis, she lived in L.C.U. at Berwick On The Park. Mom did not like it, she wanted her own place, being a very private person. The staff at Berwick were both kind and patient with Mom. They worked hard and took great care and understanding to make our mother’s final days as best as possible. She passed peacefully the morning of October 1, 2015. Mary is survived by her daughters Sheila Begley, and Ann (Rick) Mattiussi. Also, to mourn her loss are grandchildren Michelle and Chrisitie Mattiussi and great-grandchildren Gianna and Grace Mattiussi. And to her friends at Berwick, no one person could have had better, her lunch and dinner buddies were always there for her. Mary Begley had a good life filled with family and friends, two of world’s greatest riches.

Bob passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years, Bertha, and his five children: Penny, Bonnie, Cathy, Jim (Lisa) and Beth (Kevin); sister Karen; brother Bill (Diane); sisterin-law Lillian (Andy); eleven grandchildren; two greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Bob was predeceased by his parents Peggy and Harold Roe, his parents-in-law Laurense and Lewis Aadland, his sister-in-law Aline (Teddy) Haugen, his brothers-in-law Oscar and Leverne Aadland and Bill Weeks. Bob grew up in Saskatchewan and moved with his family to Kamloops in 1971 where he lived until his death. He worked at Civil Engineering (McEllhaney Engineering) as an engineering technician until his retirement. A Celebration of Bob’s life will be held in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Dr., on Sunday, October 11th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your charity of choice. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloops funeralhome .com

March 15, 1975 - October 1, 2015 “Teammate for Life” After a long and courageous battle with his addictions, Quinten chose on Thursday, October 1 to head out on his next road trip. Born March 15, 1975 in Kamloops to John and Judy (Fisher) Van Horlick, Quinten’s personality traits of hard work and determination quickly became apparent . The diagnosis of a rare form of leukemia at the age of 14 months, made it necessary for Quint to have extended stays at the BC Children’s Hospital. At age 6 (much to the surprise of his team of doctors) Quint was declared cancer free. This was a huge milestone for the entire family but especially Quint. He was able to start school and join all his favorite sports leagues. Quint took his elementary schooling at 150 Mile House and Williams Lake, and his secondary schooling in Kamloops and Quesnel where he made many life-long friends. Throughout his school years, Quint was an avid and tenacious participant in many sports, including hockey, soccer, rugby, baseball, and crosscounty running. His main passion, hockey, enabled him to plav, coach and travel throughout North America. It also afforded him the opportunity to play on junior and semi-pro teams with his favourite team-mate, his brother Matt. Quint was able to give back and encourage the passion for hockey in many kids by developing his own hockey schools, as well as coaching and managing at hockey camps throughout North America. His love of running saw him participate in the very first Terry Fox Run and many more over the vears, including as recent as two weeks ago. In between, he attended numerous half and full marathons. Giving his time for charitable causes was also very important to Quint, as evidenced by his cooking for the less fortunate and volunteering at various fund-raising events. Left to cherish Quinten’s memory are his father John, mother Judy, brother Matt, half-sister Kaci, numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, extended family and far-reaching network of friends (All team-mates for life). “Let us remember the smiling, the laughing. the taiking, the sharing, the caring and the loving.” A tribute memorial to be held at the Kamloops Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street on Friday, October 9 at 3:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ouinten’s memory to the BC Children’s Hospital online at www.bcchf.ca/donate

Will TPP feed appetite for antibiotic-free birds? ROSS MAROWITS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Canadian restaurants aren’t holding out much hope the massive new Pacific Rim trade deal will boost the availability of the antibiotic-free chicken their customers are increasingly craving. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal announced Monday will open an additional 2.1 per cent of the Canadian chicken market to imports, in addition to the 7.5 per cent existing threshold. (Two per cent of the turkey market, meantime, has been opened up under TPP). That would add more than 23.5-million kilograms of chicken over five years to the nearly 81-mil-

lion kilograms of products covered by import controls that came into Canada mainly from the U.S. last year. “The change is so small we’re highly doubtful it will be a catalyst for farmers here to be more innovative and more responsive to consumer needs,’’ said Joyce Reynolds, executive vice-president of Restaurants Canada. She added Canadians’ love of chicken wings will likely trump any demand on a large scale for antibiotic-free chicken from producers here or abroad. But, Sylvain Charlebois, professor of distribution and food policy at the University of Guelph’s Food Institute, is more optimistic the new trade deal could spur imports of antibiotic-free chicken and push Canadian suppliers to respond in

order to preserve their marketshare. “Now with this opening, they may not have a choice but to actually comply to market demand,’’ he told The Canadian Press. The Chicken Farmers of Canada, which represents the country’s 2,700 poultry farmers, said it’s already working to reduce antibiotics and doesn’t believe additional imports will spur more production of antibiotic-free birds. “What will encourage more antibiotic-free chicken is consumer demand — and consumer demand is there and it’s coming,’’ said executive director Mike Dungate. He added that farmers have banned Class 1 antibiotics and will eventually eliminate two other classes of drugs that affect human health.

Antibiotic-free chickens currently account for about three per cent of the 1.07-billion kilograms of chicken produced in Canada, Dungate said. “The farmers want to produce more chicken than the restaurants, the processors and further processors want to buy from farmers. There’s not a supply issue. We can produce it and we will.’’ Dungate said the TPP will hit the industry hard by removing $54 million in annual revenues, the equivalent of 61 chicken farms. Still, he said, farmers are pleased with the government’s commitment to end “fraudulent import practices.’’ Canada is the 17th-largest chicken importer in the world, taking in more product than six of the TPP members combined.

The big Canadian appetite for chicken endures as large fast-food restaurant chains like McDonald’s and A&W are making changes in order to respond to the demand for healthier products. In the U.S., McDonald’s unveiled plans earlier this year to stop using certain categories of antibiotics in chicken production over the next two years. Suppliers will still be able to use ionophores, antibiotics that keep chickens healthy and aren’t used in humans. However, the fast-food giant’s Canadian subsidiary said it has not made the decision to change its current sourcing practices given Canada’s supply chains are different. Rival A&W said it only serves chickens raised without antibiotics that are fed a grain-based vegetarian diet.

Aglukkaq learned last week of sewage dump plan

VANCOUVER AQUARIUM PHOTO

VANCOUVER — Experimental surgery to save an injured Vancouver Island sea otter dubbed “Corky’’ wasn’t enough to save the animal’s life. Veterinarians had hoped to keep Corky alive by removing a kidney and performing a blood transfusion, but the Vancouver Aquarium confirmed Corky died early yesterday morning. It’s believed he had been hit by a boat and suffered a fractured rib and other injuries before he was rescued in August near Tofino. Members of the aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre were nursing the otter and tried the neverbefore attempted surgery when tests showed one of Corky’s kidneys had ruptured. Rescue centre manager Emily Johnson said everyone hoped the otter would beat the odds and pull through, because he seemed to have so much will. Corky earned his nickname because his original injuries trapped air under his skin, leaving him unable to dive or forage for food but, as the rib healed, the kidney injury was discovered. — The Canadian Press

MONTREAL — The federal environment minister says she found out only recently about Montreal’s plan to dump eight-billion litres of raw sewage into the St. Lawrence River. Leona Aglukkaq tweeted that her office learned last week of the wastewater dump plan, which has become fodder in the federal election campaign and the subject of intense debate at the Quebec legislature. Prime Minister Stephen Harper weighed in during a Saskatoon campaign stop yesterday, urging the city to find an alternative plan. On Tuesday, the federal government urged the city to suspend the planned dump, prompting Mayor Denis Coderre to accuse Ottawa of

playing “cheap’’ politics. The one-week sewage dump is set to begin on Oct. 18 and is aimed at relocating a snow chute that runs under a major downtown expressway that is being razed. Coderre has said federal officials have known about the plan since September 2014 and he gave Environment Canada until the end of the week to meet with him and city officials. In Quebec City, Premier Philippe Couillard reaffirmed support for Coderre’s plan, saying experts have gone over numerous scenarios and that the dump remains the best. Coderre said this week he’s satisfied the plan is the best option available. — The Canadian Press

Researcher seeks to unlock hackers’ digital prints THE CANADIAN PRESS

FREDERICTON — As use of the Internet has exploded, so has the number of malware attacks around the world — and now a researcher at the University of New Brunswick is trying to unlock the digital fingerprints of hackers who are after your money and personal information. “A typical computer user can host a lot of profitable things for a hacker,’’ said Natalia Stakhanova, a professor at school’s Information Security Centre of Excellence. Stakhanova has begun a five-year research project aimed at trying to determine the digital profile of people developing certain types of malicious software, or malware. She is focusing on the binary side of existing malware to look for clues about the source of an infection and the kinds of tools used to develop it. Her team will also try to determine whether the malware was targeting a specific person or if it is more random. “We hope to, at some time, to be able identify where it comes from. So, we’ll know who wrote it, why he wrote it, how it was written and where that person lives,’’ she said. “It’s probably going to take us a while.’’ According to a 2014 report by Intel Security, the estimated annual cost to the global economy from cybercrime

is more than $400 billion. In recent years, there have been a number of major malware attacks on large retailers, such as Target and Home Depot, giving the malware creators access to the personal information of shoppers. Doug Cooke, director of sales engineering at Intel Security Canada, said the work of researchers like Stakhanova is important. “If they are starting to understand the attributes of those types of people or what motivates them, then maybe all of us can start ferreting them out a little bit easier and help to put a dent in this,’’ he said. Cooke said the hackers have become more sophisticated and quickly launch variants of their malware once earlier versions are detected and defences put in place. “It has been an increasing arms race over time,’’ he said, noting more than 400-million different pieces of malware have been detected around the world. “They’re looking to make money and use your computer for some gain, such as launching a spam campaign, which could result in dollars, or to gain information off your computer that could be of value.’’ According to the McAfee Labs Threats Report for August 2015, the threat of malware spreads well beyond home and

business computers as we adopt new technology connected to the Internet, such as smartphones and other devices. It suggests technology linked to health care, energy, retail, cities and transportation are also vulnerable. “Attackers are not after the devices themselves but the data or gateway capability that they enable,’’ the report said. “Cloud adoption has changed the nature of some attacks as devices are attacked not for the small amount of data that they store, but as a path to where the important data resides.’’ Cooke said companies need to be more proactive in building a full program for thwarting malware, which goes beyond just having protective software to being able to react quickly in the event of an attack. “If you have a breach, how do you handle that from a media perspective, but also how you’re going to react technically to minimize its impact,’’ he said. Stakhanova said individuals also need to protect themselves by encrypting personal information and keeping it on an external drive and ensuring they have updated malware protection. “You need passwords that are long and complicated and don’t contain the name of your dog or your spouse,’’ she said.

Harper’s proposed niqab ban Randy Quaid ricochets through campaign detained after

‘HOLLYWOOD STAR-WHACKERS’

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper’s proposed ban on the wearing of niqabs by anyone dealing with — or working for — the federal government ricocheted down the campaign trail Wednesday, drawing condemnation from opponents, premiers and Muslim groups. He told CBC’s Power and Politics on Tuesday that a reelected Conservative government would look at legislation to nix niqabs in the public service — echoing similar comments last week in the Frenchlanguage debate hosted by network TVA. Harper then went further, saying the Conservatives are examining Quebec’s Bill 64, which requires Muslim women or others who wear face coverings to remove them if they want to work in the public sector — or do business with government officials. Although tabled in the Quebec National Assembly, the bill has yet to be debated. Yesterday, Harper praised the Quebec Liberal government’s measured approach

TORONTO — A new report on real estate trends says foreign investors may start looking beyond Toronto and Vancouver and begin targeting markets in Montreal and Saskatoon in the coming year. The report by PwC Canada and the Urban Land Institute says both foreign and domestic realestate investment will shift in 2016 from Western Canada, where falling oil prices are hurting growth, to the east, where the low loonie is boosting manufacturing. Vancouver is the notable exception, rising to first place as the country’s must-watch real estate market. Money is also expected to continue to flow into the Toronto market, the country’s largest. The report is based on interviews and survey responses from more than 1,400 real-estate experts, including developers, brokers, property managers and investors. PwC says Calgary and Edmonton were, until recently, among the most country’s most promising real-estate markets. However, as the price of crude has plummeted and investment in the oilpatch has dried up, both residential and commercial properties in the region have stopped switching hands as owners take a wait-and-see approach.

Montreal arrest SIDHARTHA BANERJEE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — American actor Randy Quaid has been arrested again and is scheduled to appear before the Immigration and Refugee Board in Montreal today. The circumstances behind the arrest — his second in Montreal this year — are unclear, but his Canadian wife, Evi, tweeted late Tuesday that her husband had been detained. Immigration and Refugee Board spokesman Robert Gervais said Quaid will have a detention review hearing before a board member today, a routine procedure that occurs typically within 48 hours of someone being detained. A Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman was unable to provide any further details yesterday about the detention. Quaid, 65, and his wife fled north of the border in 2010, saying they were the victims of persecution. The couple have sought to stay in Canada and have said they were being hunted by “Hollywood starwhackers,’’ but their arrival in this country came as they faced a number of legal problems in the United States. Quaid was arrested in Montreal last May after becoming the subject of a nationwide arrest warrant when he stopped checking in with the Canada Border Services Agency. Sporting a massive beard and shoulderlength grey hair, Quaid apologized at a subsequent Immigration and Refugee Board hearing and suggested he was ready to return to the United States to deal with an outstanding legal case and ultimately return to Canada. Quaid, who has

been living in Montreal since January 2013, was released after that arrest. His father-in-law posted $10,000 bail and he was required to respect a host of other conditions that included checking in with border-agency officials every two weeks. After arriving in Canada in 2010, the Quaids lived in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa before moving to Montreal. The actor’s bid for permanent residency in Canada was denied in late 2012 and he told the hearing in May he vanished out of fear of being separated from his wife, whose father is Canadian and enabled her to gain her citizenship. Quaid is the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid and is bestknown for his roles in films such as National Lampoon’s Vacation and Independence Day. He won a Golden Globe award for his depiction of President Lyndon Baines Johnson in a TV movie in the late 1980s. He was also nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actor for his role in 1973’s The Last Detail, which starred Jack Nicholson. Quaid lost out to John Houseman for his performance in The Paper Chase.

TALES OF MCLAUCHLAN AND MUSIC

Murray McLauchlan is stopping in Kamloops on Oct. 20 during a 10-concert tour of B.C. KEVIN KELLY/TRUE NORTH PHOTO

JUNO AWARD-WINNING SINGER SONGWRITER COMING TO TOWN DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

urray McLauchlan knows the magic music can create. He found that amazing aspect of writing and singing his own songs while still a teenager, a 17-year-old talented art student who opted to put down the paintbrush to perform in coffeehouses in Toronto. A year later, he was on the stage at the Mariposa Folk Festival which, at the time, was a major venue for Canadian performers. He saw the power of music when the likes of Tom Rush, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings sang songs he wrote. These days, he’s watching the power of music affect the lives of people who have Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other chronic ailments. He’s seeing it used to alleviate the stress of the caregivers looking after these patients. It comes to him through his participation on the board of the Room 217 Foundation. “The early research is tremendous,” McLauchlan told KTW in advance of his Tuesday, Oct. 20 performance in Kamloops. “When people sing together, oxytocin is released and it helps keep people calm.” It’s an area of health care renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks studied and wrote about in his book Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, wherein he told the stories of people dealing with neurological conditions and how music impacted their lives. McLauchlan has read the book, believes in Sacks’ position and finds the charity a good fit. “I hit that point in life where I just want to give something back,” he said. He’s also at the point in life where crazy touring schedules aren’t fun anymore. “I love the music,” McLauchlan said, “but the eccentric routing, the early-morning airplanes and bouncing all over the place, I just don’t want to do that.” Instead, he’s on a 10-concert tour through B.C., “where the routing is rational. Where you can go home and say ‘Hello wife, how are you?’ and not go home and just crash.”

Dress for new WCT show, starting tonight Western Canada Theatre presents Don’t Dress for Dinner from tonight to Oct. 17 at Sagebrush Theatre, 1300 Ninth Ave. A sequel to the 2013 production Boeing Boeing, it again tells the story of longtime friends Richard and Bernard. This time, Bernard is using Robert as his alibi while he plans a weekend with his mistress with his wife out of town. Suffice to say, things go awry in what is described as a “salacious sequel of silly suspicion.” The cast includes Krista Colosimo, Tess Degenstein, Alison Deon, Beau Dixon, Kirk Smith and Todd Thomson.

‘I sing because I love music’ From B1

McLauchlan hits the road just as his label, True North Records, prepares to release four remastered albums — Timberline, Day to Day Dust, Hard Rock Town and Windows — that were only released on vinyl. Beginning tomorrow, the albums, along with several previously

unreleased tracks, will be available online at Amazon, Spotify and Rdio. McLauchlan is delighted the label is doing this and making the music available online because “I get most of my music that way now.” As for his own music, McLauchlan likens himself to a broken record when he

CONGRATULATIONS CHERYL SCHMIDT

explains what it means to him. “People say to me that I’m so lucky to get paid to go out and sing,” he said. “I think I got this from Ray Charles. He said, ‘I don’t get paid for making music. I get paid for eating bad food and getting divorced.’ I sing because I love music.” At 67 years of age, he doesn’t force himself to write songs — although for his human-rights album, Human Writes, McLauchlan locked himself in a room and didn’t come out until he was satisfied with the product.

“I like those songs. They’re a different style.” Sometimes his fingers hurt after a show and he had issues with his left hand, since resolved, so he can continue spreading his magic. “I’ll probably keep doing it as long as I can,” he said. The Juno Awardwinning singer/ songwriter will be at Sagebrush Theatre for a 7:30 p.m. show on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

I am 53, I had back surgery 4 years ago and I find that this approach at martial arts helps me keep fit and positive. I find myself learning new techniques every day because of the superior and diversified training. I love the atmosphere here; it’s family with the greatest respect and values.

was really interesting,’’ said Toronto author Andre Alexis, who made the short list for Fifteen Dogs (Coach House Books). “You just couldn’t predict where it was coming from.’’ Other finalists for the $100,000 prize for fiction include Montreal’s Heather O’Neill for the story collection Daydreams of Angels (HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.) and Vancouver-based Anakana Schofield for Martin John (A John Metcalf Book, an imprint of Biblioasis). The list is rounded out by Montreal’s Samuel Archibald for the story collection Arvida, translated by Donald Winkler (Biblioasis), and London-based Rachel Cusk for Outline (Harper Perennial, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Ltd). “I think it’s like Canada itself,’’ Toronto-based jury member Cecil Foster said of the list. “It’s very multicultural and there are lots of new voices and I think that it shows a kind vibrancy.’’ Her new collection touches on everything from clones to forgotten dolls and a robot that feels emotion for the very first time. Meanwhile, Alexis’s Fifteen Dogs, about a pack of pooches gifted by gods with the skills of human consciousness and language, is also on the short list for the $25,000 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. It’s the second in a series of five planned books inspired by the film Teorema by Pier Paolo Pasolini. This year’s jury read 168 books submitted by 63 publishers. Comedian Rick Mercer will host this year’s televised Giller gala on Nov. 10 on CBC-TV. Finalists for the prize — established in 1994 by businessman Jack Rabinovitch in honour of his late wife, literary journalist Doris Giller — get $10,000 apiece. — Canadian Press

jack-o’-lantern. Pumpkin season at the farm has already begun and runs through Oct. 31. The patch is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. Choose from many varieties of pumpkins in various sizes to suit

“Weekends are open to groups and individuals who either want to participate in the wagon ride or walk to the patch to find their perfect pumpkin(s).”

DID YOU KNOW?

The carving of jacko’-lanterns springs from the souling custom of carving turnips into lanterns as a way of remembering the souls held in purgatory. The turnip has traditionally been used in Ireland and Scotland at Halloween, but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin, which is both readily available and much larger — making it easier to carve than turnips. The American tradition of carving pumpkins is recorded in 1837 and was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century. The world’s largest jack-o’-lantern was carved from the world’s then-largest pumpkin on Oct. 31, 2005, in Northern Cambria, Penn., by Scott Cully. The pumpkin was grown by Larry Checkon and weighed 1,469 pounds at the Pennsylvania Giant Pumpkin Growers Association Weigh-off. The new record for largest pumpkin is 1,810.5 pounds, grown by Chris Stevens.

Holiday Party?

Be a great holiday host – without the stress We may love welcoming guests into our homes, but parties can be the source of mixed emotions for the hosts. The pressure of living up to your guests’ expectations can sometimes ruin the fun. Welcoming loved ones into your home needn’t be a stressful experience. Here are five tips on how to be the perfect host without losing sleep. • Prepare what you can ahead of time: After you’ve sent the invitations, purchase as many items as possible in advance, and choose a meal that won’t require all the cooking to be done on the day of the event. Building a timeline and a checklist can help ensure that everything gets done. • Think of a great recipe idea: Avoid overcomplicating everything and spending hours in the kitchen. Plan a recipe you’re confident about. If you have a signature dish, then close the cookbooks, your guests will be looking forward to it. • Ask for help: Holiday guests are usually friends and family, so remember, you’re not on a TV cooking show, or in a restaurant kitchen. If things get out of control, don’t be afraid to ask for help. • Variety: We always plan for wine or cold drinks options, but what about coffee? Having different blends or a decaf option on hand is a simple way of showing your eye for detail. The velvety and woodsy Van Houtte Holiday Blend or the rich and smooth Timothy’s Christmas Blend are medium roast blends that make great options for a family brunch or a holiday meal. • Decoration and ambiance: Be sure to give your dining room a warm feel with decorations that lend a special celebratory atmosphere. Pick two colours and coordinate patterns in your table cloth, decorations, plates and lighting for a guaranteed impression. newscanada.com

ELECTION 2015

Kamloops a bellwether riding? PROVINCIALLY, ALMOST ALWAYS; FEDERALLY, NOT SO MUCH DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Steve O’Reilly is really curious to see who wins the federal election once ballots are counted on Oct. 19 — both at the national level and locally. For him, it will provide more data addressing the long-held image of Kamloops as a bellwether riding, a community that can be relied upon to indicate a trend. The fourth-year history student at Thompson Rivers University studied the description Kamloops has carried for years in an undergraduate research project that took a historical look at voting behaviour in the region.

What he found, O’Reilly said, is that during the time frame studied — from the last election of the 1970s through the 1990s — the region has always voted for the winning party at the provincial level. Federally, however, he characterized voting as more of a protest, with the Kamloops area mainly electing MPs who “had no aspirations other than to maybe be in the Opposition. This was a protest riding where we were electing people critical of the power in government.” O’Reilly attributes this to changed dynamics at the political level. The province didn’t have a divided right-of-centre situation, while at the federal level, there were the

VETERANS: ELECTION CREATING DIVISIONS MURRAY BREWSTER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

An unprecedented political wedge is splitting the country’s veterans, who are turning on each other in the countdown to the Oct. 19 vote in ways not seen in eight decades, say advocates and historians. Sean Bruyea, an outspoken critic of both Liberal and Conservative governments, said the last time veterans were so politicized and divided was in the aftermath of the First World War. “In terms of veterans attacking each other [politically], I don’t think that has ever happened in recent memory,” said Bruyea, who noted different groups have clashed over the wisdom of various policies, but the dialogue — while colourful — has never been personal. “It’s really quite unacceptable.” Historians Jack Granatstein and Desmond Morton both say the depth and fierceness of the political debate in the military community is not something that has been seen since the 1920s and 1930s, when hundreds of thousands of returned soldiers fought for promised pensions. Today, a group of ex-soldiers, angry about closures of regional veterans’ offices and

fights over benefits, have — since before the Oct. 19 vote was called — waged an Anyone But Conservatives campaign to oust the Harper government. They are active online and are registered as a third-party interest group for the campaign. Conservative candidate and Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole recently accused public service unions of funding the ABC campaign. Separately, others — sometimes high-profile veterans groups and advocates — have made no secret of their support for the Liberals. As the election has tightened, Veterans For The Conservative Party of Canada have launched a counterattack, claiming to speak on behalf of a “silent majority” who they say are happy with the way they’ve been treated. The organizer, retired warrant officer Lee Humphrey, said by not offering a specific alternative to the Conservatives, members of the ABC campaign are “cowardly.” He later clarified the comment, online and in an interview, saying it was not meant to question the physical bravery of soldiers, but the “moral cowardice” of those who carry out politics by stealth. But, Bruyea said,

Humphrey’s group ignores legitimate concerns over benefits and the treatment of the most severely injured, issues that have consumed the political agenda. “They’re not dealing with the facts of the ABC campaign, the criticism of the way the government’s handled the file,” Bruyea said. “They’re attacking these people personally and questioning their integrity as if they can’t think for themselves,” Humphrey denied that and said his group — formed on Aug. 19 — is “not trying to pretend the government is perfect” and has addressed issues on its Facebook page. David MacLeod, another ex-soldier, believes the Conservative war room orchestrated Humphrey’s comments as a distraction, something Humphrey also denied. He said he’s only been contacted by the party once, to verify he was a legitimate member and a former soldier. Morton said Humphrey’s choice of words is significant. Using the word “cowardly” is coded language for the Conservative base, meant to paint those who disagree with the government’s position as weak and unworthy, he said. It is

Progressive Conservatives and Reform parties sharing that space. “The unification of the Conservatives really changed the dynamic,” O’Reilly said, noting the 2015 election provides a clear three-way race in which platforms are distinct between the parties. O’Reilly’s project saw him spending a lot of time reading mircrofilm and analyzing issues from the various time periods to try to gauge voter sentiment. This election, however, has him stumped. “I’m really interested in this election, but it will be nice when it’s over,” he said. “And this election could confirm if Kamloops is a bellwether at the federal level.”

not unlike the arguments Conservative senators of the 1920s used to deny ex-soldiers suffering from First World War shell shock — or posttraumatic stress — a pension. “So, I think that Mr. Harper can guarantee — or his advisers can guarantee — that most Canadians of the age that vote Conservative, which is well over 50, will respond to this attitude and to these people and the firmness of the government in refusing to spend more of our tax dollars on their welfare,” said Morton, who advised New Democrats in the 1960s and Brian Mulroney’s Tories in the 1980s. Humphrey said “there’s no code — or message to the base. It’s clarity . . . It’s about moral clarity.” Although the active military steers clear of politics, Granatstein said there’s nothing wrong with veterans becoming involved, especially when they believe there’s a disservice being done. “Why shouldn’t they be politicized?” he asked. “If you can’t get the action that you as a veteran want by working behind the scenes, then you have no option but to go political.” The timing — being so close to the end of the campaign — does not surprise Granatstein,

who said the Conservative have been stung and embarrassed by the repeated criticism.

Stephen Harper’s plan isn’t working. A struggling economy

Great Depression. Eight straight deficits — $150 billion added to Canada’s debt.

Scandal after scandal

✖ Conservatives charged with illegal lobbying, illegal ✖

campaign contributions, and bribery. One-third of Senate under RCMP investigation.

Only a vote for Bill Sundhu and Tom Mulcair’s NDP will defeat Stephen Harper. ✓ Protect pension splitting for seniors. ✓ Return the retirement age to 65. ✓ $15/day quality childcare. ✓ Reduce small business taxes by almost 20%. ✓ Boost Canada’s forestry sector.

Canada is ill-prepared for the “demographic bomb” set to hit the health-care system, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said Tuesday as he highlighted commitments such as a plan to deliver universal, prescription drug coverage. Mulcair is ramping up his health-care pitch in British Columbia, a province with an aging population where his party hopes to claim at least 24 seats. It’s the same province where the NDP unveiled a plan in midSeptember to spend $1.8-billion over four years to help the provinces bolster care for seniors. The NDP plan calls for an expansion of home care that it says will benefit 41,000 seniors, create 5,000 more nursing beds and improve palliative care services. Mulcair held a town hall in Surrey, where he faced softball questions from supporters about wait times and affordable access to prescriptions. “It’s really easy in this election,” Mulcair said. “Child care, health care, pharmacare, Mulcair.” The New Democrats hope their health message resonates in a province with a median age of nearly 42 years — about 18 months older than the national figure — according to the 2011 Census.

“We’re just not getting ready for that demographic bomb to hit our whole health-care system,” he said, as someone in the crowd shouted: “A senior tsunami!” “The orange wave and the senior tsunami,” Mulcair replied. “I love it.” The Liberals, who have pledged to negotiate a new health accord with provinces and territories and spend $3 billion over the next four years on homecare services, accused the New Democrats of making health care promises they can’t keep. “By adopting Stephen Harper’s budget and rushing to eliminate the deficit in just six months, Mulcair can’t possibly deliver on new health care funding,” said Hedy Fry, the Liberal candidate in Vancouver Centre. Mulcair also stepped up his attacks Tuesday on the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, saying it threatens to hike prescription drug costs. Drug companies will get eight years of protection from competitors for biologics – expensive medicines produced in living cells. Critics say blocking competitors from making generic drugs means people who need the medication won’t be able to afford it. It’s that patent protection afforded to the big drug companies that will lead to higher costs for life-saving medications, Mulcair said. “It’s going to become more

expensive for Canadians to access generic prescription drugs. That is adding to the cost of medication for Canadians, at a time when we should be taking concrete action to reduce the cost of medication.” Mulcair also criticized Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s announced $1-billion aid package to help the auto sector, calling it proof that Harper already knows the trade agreement will result in the loss of thousands of jobs from the industry. But he warned that Harper should not be taken at his word that the money will be provided over the next 10 years, or at all. Meanwhile, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation issued a statement criticizing the Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats for pandering to voters by offering up millions of dollars in “corporate welfare.” Besides the $1-billion TPP compensation proposal from the Conservatives to the auto industry, the Liberals have pledged $400-million to invest in the production of clean technology and the New Democrats have said they plan to spend $400-million as part of their strategy for the auto and aerospace sectors. “Make no mistake, these promises have nothing to do with sound economics or business decisions and everything to do with cynical political pandering,” federation director Aaron Wudrick said in a statement.

Don’t forget Oct. 14 debate The date has been set for what will likely be the local campaign debate with the largest turnout. Kamloops This Week, CFJC-TV and

CBC Radio Kamloops have teamed up to host the political forum on Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau attracted about 600 people to an appearance in Kamloops in January 2013. There is no word yet on whether Trudeau will visit the city during this election campaign. He was in Ontario this week releasing the remainder of his party’s plans.

The rest of Grit platform BOB WEBER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WATERLOO, Ont. — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has promised to end boil water advisories on First Nations reserves. “We have 93 different communities under 133 different boil water advisories,” Trudeau told a Monday town hall hosted by Vice magazine. “A Canadian government led by me will address this as a top priority because it’s not right in a country like Canada. “This has gone on for far too long.” In addition, Trudeau fleshed out the last remaining bits of his party’s election platform at Wilfrid Laurier University, where he offered to help students in search of higher education. The main points of the Liberal platform — three years of deficit spending on infrastructure, higher taxes on the wealthiest Canadians and lower rates for most others — were released long ago. New details rolled out this week include restrictions on marketing unhealthy food and drinks to children — restrictions similar to ones already in place in Quebec — and regulations to limiting the amount of trans-fats and salt in processed foods.

Popular among the university crowd was a plan to increase Canada Student Grants by 50 per cent to $3,000 a year. Trudeau said a Liberal government would allow students to wait until they’re earning at least $25,000 a year before requiring them to start repayment. “Finding money to pay for school is only half the battle,” he said. “Repaying those loans after you leave is often just as challenging.” Trudeau also said a Liberal government would try to ease the high cost of living in Canada’s North by increasing tax deductions for northern residents and spending more money on food shipping subsidies. As news filtered out about the Trans-

Pacific Partnership, a massive trade deal involving 12 major economies accounting for 40 per cent of the world’s trade, Trudeau remained cautious, saying he would wait to see details of the deal before committing himself. He promised to engage in a “fulsome” discussion with parliamentarians on the deal and consult the public before making a decision on whether to vote for it. “We will ratify this properly in the House of Commons after a fulsome and responsible discussion,” Trudeau said. Still, he seemed to acknowledge it would be tough for Canada to remain on the sidelines, especially in industries such as the auto sector,

where supply chains already cross borders. “We know that Canada is extraordinarily integrated in terms of supply chains with the U.S. and Mexico,” he said. “The idea that the U.S. and Mexico would engage in a trade deal of this size and somehow it would not be in Canada’s interests to not be a part of that deal I think is something we’re going to have to look in to.” The deal also seems to offer a mixed bag for Canada’s supply-managed dairy producers, he said. “The Liberal party is committed to protecting supply management,” he said. “There are some concerns [in the deal] and there are new advantages.”

Mortgage Matters Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca.
