SD73 ‘disappointed’ about being PLEA DEAL kept in the dark on Stuart Wood STRUCK City staff didn’t know about ‘reverter clause’ until Cavers inquired about ownership Stuart Wood,” he said. “We wanted them to make whatever decision they wanted to make. “They have a lease with the city and, as far as we were concerned, they would still be tenants had they chosen to.” City chief administrative officer David Trawin said staff only learned of the reverter clause after Coun. Donovan Cavers inquired about how long the building had been owned by the city. “Our real estate, in pulling the records, discovered the existence of the reverter clause and did some follow with our lawyers to see what exactly it meant in terms of future uses,” he said. “This all was happening around the time the school was contemplating the closure.” The Stuart Wood property was a gift from the province to be used only for educational purposes. If the property is not used for such purposes, ownership returns to the provincial government.

he chairwoman of the KamloopsThompson school board is disappointed the city didn’t tell trustees it doesn’t completely own the Stuart Wood elementary property. Denise Harper said she learned two weeks ago of the document registered on the St. Paul Street property requiring it be returned to the province if it stops being used for educational purposes. Harper said she knew nothing about talks that began early this year between the City of Kamloops and Thompson Rivers University to create a downtown campus at the site. The KamloopsThompson school district plans to close the school in 2015, moving its students and staff to another school on McGill Road, now home to the elementary grades of Beattie School of the Arts. Those students are slated to join the second-

“And it wouldn’t have influenced our decision. “It just would have been nice to know this before now.” Mayor Peter Milobar told a hastily called press conference on Friday, Oct. 3, after the agreement was leaked to KTW earlier, that the city learned of the reverter covenant which was placed on the
property in 1906 when it checked the title. Milobar said the information was not provided to the KamloopsThompson board of education so it could come to its own decision on the school’s future in a transparent way. “We did not talk to the school district about the possibility of TRU using

FOR DRIVER IN DEADLY 2012 CRASH
Crown drops charges and accepts plea to lesser count for wreck that killed TRU student CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Crown has stayed charges of impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death against a 28-year-old man police allege was at the wheel of a pickup that rolled and killed his best friend. Sean Tomlin is expected, instead, to plead guilty at a sentencing hearing Friday to dangerous driving in the death of TRU student Ben Kirkey. Tomlin was charged following a skeet shooting accident at Scuitto Lake east of Kamloops in May 2012. RCMP said at the time that Kirkey was hit by a shotgun blast in the wrist at a stag party. Police alleged Tomlin was driving at high speed on forestry roads with his friend on board in an attempt to meet an ambulance en route. A witness came across Kirkey and Tomlin, both ejected from a rolled Dodge pickup at the intersection of Robbins Range Road and Campbell Creek Road.

Leave it alone. Presenters to an Electoral Boundaries Commission hearing in Kamloops yesterday (Oct. 6) told the three-member panel the current local provincial political boundaries make sense and urged against tinkering with them. Several Clearwater residents, led by Mayor John Harwood, told the commission they don’t want to be lumped in with the Cariboo, despite the fact it would create a more like-minded rural riding. “We’re linked very strongly with all services that come out of Kamloops,” Harwood said. “Rural has taken a hard hit in B.C. . . . To separate us to another valley or zone further damages us.” Clearwater and the North Thompson valley are grouped in the Kamloops-North Thompson riding, where they’ve been for decades. Harwood’s message was echoed by other Clearwater residents. “All of our connections in the North Thompson are with Kamloops,” said valley resident Sandra Willan. The commission is touring the province to take submissions on redrawing boundaries in order to accommodate population
Electoral Boundaries Commission told local ridings are fine as is changes. Boundary commissions undertake the work every second election. The last change, prior to the 2008 provincial election, adjusted the boundary between KamloopsNorth Thompson and KamloopsSouth Thompson to run east-west along the Thompson and South Thompson rivers. Several New Democrats, including one-time candidate Tom Friedman, told the commission today’s boundaries make sense, as did former Kamloops mayor John Dormer. He said the only change that’s logical would be to take Savona from Kamloops-South Thompson and place it in Fraser-Nicola to the south in order to better balance the ridings. “They [Savona] look to Kamloops,” Dormer acknowledged. “They don’t look to the Cariboo-Chilcotin or Ashcroft. But, if the numbers are causing the review, a slight increase in Fraser-Nicola would cover off things.” In Kamloops-South Thompson and Kamloops-North Thompson, populations are close to the 55,000 average. But the neighbouring rural regions of Cariboo-
Chilcotin and Fraser-Nicola only have about 30,000 people. Despite those imbalances, the legislature passed a law this year forbidding the commission from reducing the number of MLAs in the greater Thompson, Nicola and Cariboo regions below today’s five MLAs — all of them currently Liberals. The commission is permitted to add two more MLAs to the legislature, for a total of 87. While the commission was urged to leave the city ridings alone, several presenters at the meeting at Plaza Hotel told the panel to restore the Boston Bar and Hope areas to Fraser-Nicola in order to boost its population. It is currently lumped in with Chilliwack. The current boundary “divides the Nlaka’pamux people,” said former Lower Nicola Indian Band chief Victor York. Former New Democrat MLA for the riding, Harry Lali, also urged the commission to restore the lower Fraser Canyon communities of Boston Bar and Hope into the Fraser-Nicola riding. The commission must make its preliminary report to the legislature before May 9.
Walsh won’t run for mayor DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
After a final discussion with family and friends, Denis Walsh has decided he will not run for mayor in the Nov. 15 election. Walsh acknowledged he’s had plenty of encouragement to return to municipal politics but said that, after the weekend gathering — also a celebration of his 60th birthday — “it became crystal clear that seeking the mayor’s seat this election will not work for me and my family.” Walsh, who was a councillor from 2008 to 2011, said the reason
he left council remains true today — he wants to continue devoting his time to his businesses and his family. That doesn’t mean Walsh is stepping back from community involvement. His statement to KTW also said he sees many ways to improve the city, including a need for “a more open and consultative process and a stronger council. “I find it unacceptable that our current city council has been so mute on the Ajax mine to date, which to me is the key issue in this campaign and definitely made my decision so difficult,”
Walsh wrote. “We have all heard the excuses to be silent but my hope is that whoever gets on the new council will have a stronger voice and ask hard questions. “The new council must demand a greater voice in the process than the current council has demonstrated. When you play their game and wait for the studies, its game over.” Walsh’s decision leaves two people nominated for mayor, incumbent Peter Milobar and rookie politician Ben James. The nomination period closes on Friday, Oct. 10.
to stay out of election KGHM says it won’t make donations
Despite suggestions to the contrary, one of the city’s most controversial donors is sitting out the Kamloops municipal election. KGHM Ajax, the company behind the copper and gold mine proposed sound of Aberdeen, is “taking the neutral approach” to the campaign, said external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse. “It’s not our position as a company to fund or support any municipal campaigns,” Lacasse said. While the company has donated to many of the city’s arts, recreational and nonprofit campaigns over the past few years, the contribution guidelines listed on its website specifically rule out donations to “Political Parties or Platforms,” along with events or campaigns “that discriminate in any way” and direct donations to religious organizations. Earlier this month, council candidate Peter Kerek called on his running mates to disclose if they were recieving donations from the mine proponents. “They [KGHM] have been throwing money at all sorts of charities to win folks over or at least buy their silence,” Kerek wrote in a press release on his Facebook page. “This would be a much healthier democracy if we all knew which candidates they’re funding before we go to the ballots, not after.” Candidates must disclose all campaign donors within 90 days following the Nov. 15 election. While anonymous contributions are allowed, they must be less than $50.

‘Nothing is off the table,’TRU says From page A1
The fact the city knew this when the board of education was just starting its process of public consolation on the future of the school led to one downtown activist interrupting the press conference to complain about transparency. Glenn Hilke noted many community groups came together to discuss the future of the school and accused the city of sitting back and letting this process proceed, all the while knowing it was in talks with TRU about having the university move into the property. He asked if the community at large will be invited into the exploratory discussions that will take place from now until the anticipated closing of the school in 2016. Denis Walsh, president of the Downtown and West End Residents’ Association, also criticized the city for the keeping the information from the public — and, in particular, from the Stuart Wood community. He said the decision to keep the information quiet is the “fundamental problem”

Market wants say The folks behind the Kamloops Farmers’ Market have some ideas on how a downtown university campus at Stuart Wood elementary could be created. Anne Grube, a member of the market board, said news Thompson Rivers University is working with the city to see if the St. Paul Street site — home to the Saturday market — could be used as a community campus has had market participants offering several ideas. They include: • Working with the culinaryarts program to create a service that would provide training and meals to people of all income levels; with council. “It’s representing the administration and not the community,” he said. “The community is being ignored and this is just another example of it being ignored when we want to be participating in these decisions.
• Working with the school of business marketing students to create social-enterprise programs like canning or other ways to preserve local produce; • Working with the horticulture department to create demonstration and public-produce gardens or other urban farming options; and • Working with the arts department to create a centre for TRU students and the public to experience and further their skills. Grube said a key component of the ideas would have to include allowing the market to use it on Saturdays to provide a “vital downtown social and food hub.” “It’s troubling.” Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vice-president advancement, said “nothing’s off the table, but we need to have an internal conversation and a conversation with the community. “This is just the beginning of the conversation.”
A committee made up of Uli Scheck, TRU’s provost and vice-president of academic, and Matt Milovick, the university’s vice-president of administration and finance, will work with the deans from the business school, arts faculty and other departments at the university to look into potential academic uses for Stuart Wood. TRU president Alan Shaver praised the opportunity, noting a downtown campus has been discussed for years and saying it would enhance students’ experience. He said he was “pretty excited when Mayor Milobar approached TRU, but we have a lot of exploring to do.” Milobar expressed his frustration the information was leaked to KTW, saying the plan was to tell Kamloopsians on Saturday, Oct. 4, on the steps of Stuart Wood elementary. “The kids at Stuart Wood have been through enough,” he said. “They’ve heard their school is closing and we wanted to do it when they weren’t there.”

KAMLOOPS NATUROPATHIC CLINIC
‘It’s still not addressing the issue’
Natural Medicine Combined with Modern Science Kamloops Naturopathic Clinic welcomes Naturopathic Doctor Dr. Katie Hamilton, ND and Registered Massage Therapist Ayla Scholz, RMT to the team!
LAWYER CALLS FOR FUNDING RESTORATION A Kamloops defence lawyer who sits on the Trail Lawyers’ Association of B.C.’s legal-aid action committee says an announcement by the Liberal government of additional staff to handle urgent family-law cases is doing nothing to address the real problem plaguing the province’s courts. Last week, Attorney General Suzanne Anton announced the expansion of a pilot program that started with a staff lawyer in Vancouver dedicated to legal-aid claims clients with family-law disputes. A second family-law lawyer will be based at the Victoria courthouse. “They’re just giving them the tools to represent themselves,� said Michelle Stanford, who is the Kamloops representative on the legal-aid action committee. “It’s still not addressing the issue of unrepresented litigants.� Stanford said the government’s announcement does nothing to address the lack of legal-aid funding in B.C.’s criminal courts. “There are certainly family-law deficiencies, that’s true,� she said. “But, it’s only part of the problem. What they’ve done is re-allocated funding that only addresses part of the problem — which is unrepresented litigants in the community.� In criminal courts, Stanford said, unrepresented accused have more pre-trial court appearances, longer trials and are found guilty 60 per cent of the time. In addition, she said, quoting statistics from the Law Society of B.C., 27 per cent of unrepresented accused who are convicted receive jail sentences. She said unrepresented accused are also much less likely to come to a pre-trial plea bargain. “It removes that third-party ability to negotiate a resolution to something that might be minor,� she said. “And, there’s the risk for the litigant of their liberty. Courts have to be very careful proceeding with unrepresented litigants.� The program is funded with an extra $2 million a year for three years, bringing this year’s Legal Services Society budget to $74.5 million. This allows double the time for eligible clients to receive legal advice by phone. Legal Services Society board chair Tom Christensen said the phone service will now be able to offer eligible clients up to six hours with the same lawyer, to get advice on issues such as child support and parenting arrangements so they can represent themselves in family court. “There are always going to be cases where the situation is so dire that we need to appoint a lawyer to assist somebody in court,� Christensen said. “And, with family services, that’s generally where violence is threatened, or where somebody faces a serious chance of their interaction with Ken Smedley presents THE

their children being cut off, like when one parent’s going to leave the province with them, and the other parent needs to stop that.� Anton said there are three more pilot projects to come. These are an expanded model for legalaid staff lawyers in criminal cases, a parents’ legal centre for child-protection cases and a family mediation referral program. The financing move comes as the Trial Lawyers’ Association of B.C. resumes its intermittent strike against legal aid work to protest the lack of funding. Lawyers are refusing legal aid for the first week of each month in a protest that began in July. The association notes 80 per cent of people in family court are not represented by a lawyer and that the rate paid to legal aid lawyers hasn’t changed since the B.C. government cut the Legal Service Society budget by about 40 per cent between 2001 and 2005. Stanford said the only way to fix the courts is to restore funding to 2001 levels. “In order to really address the issue, they need to restore funding at least to that level,� she said. “We’re happy they are at least addressing some portion of the deficiencies, but they really aren’t addressing the problem — and they have the resources from the PST on legal fees.� The government’s use of the PST collected on legal fees has been a sore spot for the legal-aid action committee since it began rotating service blackouts in 2012. Stanford said upwards of $140 million is collected every year by the B.C. government just from taxes on legal fees — funds that were intended to go toward legal aid. According to Stanford, only $75 million of those tax dollars are presently funding the province’s legal-aid programs. Anton said the overall speed of the court system is improving, and the newly expanded program is designed to settle more cases out of court. “On a family matter, in particular, court is not necessarily the final destination, not necessarily the best destination,� Anton said. “This is the emphasis of the new Family Law Act. We would rather parties settled the matter between themselves with the help of a mediator, with the help of our family justice mediation services, with the help of the Justice Access Centres.� — with files from Black Press

The basic technology involved with extra corporeal shockwave technology has been used for decades on millions of people. Certain musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the area of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair and heal itself. Research has shown Shockwave Therapy to be highly effective in treating musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions by stimulating the body’s own natural healing response.
Federal Liberals voted to nominate Steve Powrie, a veteran school teacher and textbook author, as their candidate in next year’s election. About 100 party members listened to speeches from Powrie and fellow candidate Niki Remesz at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, at TRU’s Ike Barber Centre. Members and candidates went home after balloting ended at 8 p.m., making the evening devoid of the drama of an announcement and victory speech that typically accompanies a hardfought nomination battle. The count was complete shortly before 9 p.m. and announced to an empty room. Local president Tyler Carpentier declined to detail the vote, but said it “was not a landslide, but a clear victory.� In his speech to Liberal members, Powrie extolled the Liberal middle ground, sandwiched between the Conservatives and NDP. “I imagine the majority of us in the room are centrists at heart, finding the middle

Saying she comes from “a culture of volunteering,� Remesz emphasized her volunteer work in the community, including at sporting events and TRU alumni. While Powrie spoke of the Liberal party and its members — and contrasted what he called the black and white vision of the Conservative party — Remesz chose to focus on her work in the communiity and strengths as a leader. “Politics was never on my radar. But I’ve invested in my community my whole life. That’s something you can count on,� she said. Remesz works as a city marketing consultant. Like Powrie, she spoke on the theme of restoring Canadians’ faith in government. Both candidates talked about broad themes. The only local issue mentioned was the proposed Ajax mine — addressed by Remesz. “I feel a fair process, the right thing to do is to advocate for a federal review process,� she said. The Conservative government has refused to call a federal panel review for Ajax mine.

Bear Prevention Tips • Freeze pungent waste and store garbage inside until pick up. • Rinse recyclables • Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it • Do not put meat, oils, dairy or un-rinsed eggshells or cooked foods into the compost bin • Turn your compost regularly and cover with leaves or soil to help decrease odours
*
Bears and people come into conflict when our garbage is easy to access and other attractants are poorly managed. Properly storing and securing garbage and other bear attractants is a proven method for discouraging bears and preventing problems in your neighbourhood.
Bear Bylaw Residents are reminded not to place their solid waste containers out before 4 am on collection day between April 1st and November 30th and to not accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violators are subject to a $100 fine. To report an aggressive or habituated bear, call the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277. Check out the new bear sightings map at: wildsafebc.com

MPS MUST DEBATE MILITARY MISSION
T
he House of Commons must be the venue where Canadian involvement in the battle against ISIL, which has taken control of vast areas of Syria and Iraq, is debated. Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised that military involvements involving combat would be subject to a Commons vote when he put Canada’s further involvement in Afghanistan to a vote in 2007. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has now committed that any expansion of Canada’s military involvement in combating ISIL will also come to the House. A careful study of Canada’s history shows that Parliament is the very best place to make final decisions on military missions. One hundred years ago, Canada was automatically at war when Great Britain decided to declare war on Germany. This country was in for the long haul, and more than 66,000 soldiers lost their lives in what is widely seen as one of history’s most futile and destructive wars. In contrast, the decision to enter the Second World War was made by Parliament. While that commitment ended up being even more total than in the First World War, it was managed in a far better way, and the cause was one that was worth fighting for. The same can be said for combat against ISIL. The organization has no redeeming principles or values, and indeed its followers are slaughtering many Muslims, as well as adherents of other faiths, for no reason. Canada was right not to go to war against Iraq in 2003, but this is a very different matter. Nonetheless, the final decision needs to be made by MPs — not by the cabinet. — Langley Times

Oil a slippery slope for cities
E
very year, when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point where things go sideways. Last year, it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all genetic engineering. Before that, they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year, it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion — and, this time, it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or, heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a socialpolicy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book

Our man in
VICTORIA is stuff that’s outside of our purview . . . If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban centres, one can make a living at local politics — and grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is oversubscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open or improve safety. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways
that cross the same rivers and streams? Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that, after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced ecolawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SKIP THE AGEISM WORD — A SENIOR’S A SENIOR Editor: Many people, especially in the media, will not call a senior a senior. They will use words like 70 years young rather than 70 years old or 70 years of age. We don’t tell a five-year-old child they are five years young — why do this with seniors? The gym calls us active agers. Hogwash — we are seniors and proud of it. This is both irritating and thievery. I waited all these years to be a senior.
Being a senior is a great honour; many don’t get there. Seniors are a group of people who have been at all levels of life, experienced many things in life and are ready to pass this experience on “as seniors.” There are seniors at many different occupations i.e. senior management, senior councillors and much more. We are seniors of life; please don’t take that away from us by using silly and imma-
ture words like active agers or exchanging the word young for old. Many of my senior friends feel this way as they too are proud to be called seniors. I realize these people who use these words or phrases feel they are hurting our feelings by calling us seniors or using the word old. The truth is they are taking away from us if they don’t call us seniors. Gayle Ross Kamloops
Westsyde residents FOUR YEARS, MORE PAY — SWEET happy with road Editor: I would like to send a big thank you to the city of Kamloops for getting Westsyde Road paved and a huge thank you to everyone who worked on it. Gail Mcintosh Kamloops Editor: Contractors for the Westsyde Road. repaving have been respectful by ensuring only short delays. They have done an exceptional job. Thank you to our City of Kamloops staff and councillors for hiring these professionals. Councillor Nelly Dever made special efforts to ensure needed upgrades to Overlander Drive were completed. Our upgraded and new sidewalks and roads are a joy to use. Thanks everyone for making our city nicer! Sandy Sirianni
Editor: The recent announcement by Nancy Bepple that she intends to run again in the upcoming municipal election should not come as a surprise to the citizens of Kamloops. Bepple doggedly pursued, in a carefully staged and meticulously orchestrated effort, to secure a 38 per cent salary increase for the mayor and council, commencing in the New Year, thereby contributing to a significant increase in property taxes. Coupled with the four-year terms, this
represents a nice income for our local politicians, one the city can ill afford. Needless to say, Bepple would love to continue to
feed at the public trough, as, of course, do all the incumbents. Here’s hoping Kamloops’ citizens haven’t forgotten and they will turn

READY TO RIDE: Forty-six youth from Kamloops and Sun Peaks took part in the first Sun Peaks Scouts Bike Safety Rodeo, held in the community late last month. Interior Savings Credit Union, FOE Eagles 3453 and Sun Peaks Fire Department Society helped with the event.
MAKING A WISH: Ron Mundi (centre) presents the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation with $21,000 from the Iccha/Wish fund. The fund raises funds for vital equipment needed at RIH; this year’s campaign is to help buy surgical instrumentation for less-invasive kidney stone removal. With Mundi are, from left, Al Patel, Alan Gozda, Ron Mundi, Dr. Bas Gowd and Alisa Coquet. STOP SMOKING, GET A CLEAN CAR: On June 1, Overlander Extended Care residential-care facility, together with Interior Health Authority’s smoking-cessation program, launched an employee smokingcessation campaign, encouraging staff to either eliminate or reduce smoking from their lives. At the end of the campaign, Overlander’s managers celebrated their employees’ successes by washing the vehicles of any staff member who had either gone smoke-free or had attempted to reduce his or her smoking. It was a fun day for them — there were a few cars to wash! They plan to celebrate again with those who have continued their commitment to quitting. Getting their hands soapy and wet are IHA tobacco reduction co-ordinator Jeff Conners, (in front) who is helping clean a licence plate, along with (left to right) nurse Nadeen Gavelin-Cook, Overlander assistant manager Matt Renfrew, manager Denise Slevin and administrative assistant Gloria Chapman.

Members of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack cheer team volnuteered to direct traffic at the CIBC Run For the Cure event, held on Sunday, Oct. 5, at Riverside Park. The Kamloops run was one of 65 taking place in communities across Canada. All told, almost $3 million was raised for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

One of the largest runs of sockeye on record bound for the Adams River is expected to draw an equally large number of visitors this month. Pacific Salmon Commission estimates this year’s Fraser River sockeye run at 21 million fish. Those spawning salmon in a dominant year are expected to draw more than 235,000 people to the river, including from the region and visitors from overseas. “Our busiest day [in the brood year 2010] was 13,000 visitors,” said director Blair Acton, who also operates the Squilax Hostel. “Parking is quite efficient,” she added. Acton said visitors started showing up in mid-September and going home disappointed.

mouth of the river. The run is expected to be about two-thirds the size of the 2010 year with its record of eight million salmon returning to the Adams River. “It’s less than in 2010 but it’s one of the strongest runs on record,” he said. Salute spokesman Jeremy Heighton said among the several hundred thousand visitors will be about 15,000 school children. The teachers’ strike that consumed the first three weeks of the school year is not expected to deter class visits. Buses will come from as far as the South Okanagan and Lower Mainland for one of the world’s great salmon spectacles.

Four years ago, children with psychiatric issues who needed to stay at Royal Inland Hospital were placed in the same ward as adults who had mentalhealth challenges. At the time, the Interior Health Authority said there wasn’t a need for a separate paediatric psychiatric area because there wasn’t the volume of patients to warrant it. Within about a year, however, the hospital set aside part of its fifth floor to provide just that kind of care — an area that has been renovated and officially opened to the media, funders and the provincial government to see. Children should be
using it later this month. The numbers have grown as the hospital sees about 100 children a year who need to stay for a period of time for treatment of their illness. The new ward, with two beds, is located at the same location as the former one, but has been expanded and enhanced, with a lounge area to watch TV or play games, an outdoor patio, a new counselling room, a dedicated washroom with a shower room (not on the ward, but nearby) and a new nurses’ station. The area is seen as a crisis-stabilization unit for youth who might need treatment from psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, child and youth workers and, occasionally, occupation therapists.
A 24-year-old high-school graduate from a middle-class home will spend weekends in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of trafficking in crack cocaine. Jesse Secord, 24, was given a 60-day jail sentence to be served on weekends at a sentence hearing Friday (Oct. 3) in B.C. Supreme Court. The Crown asked for a sentence of six to nine months in jail while defence lawyer Kevin Walker argued for a suspended sentence. A conditional sentence order — typically in the form of house arrest or a curfew — is no longer available for drug trafficking offences following changes brought in by the federal Conservative government. Secord has no criminal record. He pleaded guilty to selling crack cocaine worth $40 to undercover police posing as
users on two separate occasions in September last year. The Crown said it was a diala-dope operation whereby users call a cell phone to request delivery of drugs. In addition to pleading guilty, Secord stopped dealing and sought drug rehab help before he knew he was targeted in the RCMP sting. “He made a decision before he was charged to stop offending,� Hyslop said. But the B.C. Supreme Court justice added that a suspended sentence, essentially probation conditions, is too light a penalty for a dial-a-dope operations, which target vulnerable addicts and give them easy access to hard drugs. Walker said Secord and his brother, who grew up in a middle-class home, began experimenting with hard drugs at 15. Both became addicts.

Ian Chrystal and the Kamloops Storm picked a good weekend to go on a roll. The club won three games on the weekend, defeating Doug Birks divisional rivals in the Revelstoke Grizzlies, 100 Mile House Wranglers and Sicamous Eagles to take thetop spot in the standings. Chrystal picked up four goals and three assists over the weekend, taking over the league-lead in scoring
with 17 points (11G, 6A). Kamloops will again be in action this week, facing the Heat in Chase on Friday, Oct. 10, before coming home to play the Princeton Posse on Saturday, Oct 11. The team will close out the weekend on Sunday, Oct. 12, again on the road, against the Summerland Steam. Chrystal opened his dominant weekend on the road in 100 Mile House on Friday, Oct. 3, notching a goal and two assists to lead the Storm to a 5-3 victory.

Dexter Robinson chipped in with three assists, while Addison Bazian added a goal and an assist. Mitch Friesen (1G, 1A), Brayden Dale (1G), Marc DuMont (1G), Kyle Lohmann (1A), Alex Winters (1A), and
Keaton Gordon (1A) also found the scoresheet. Jason Sandhu picked up the victory in goal. On Saturday, again with Sandhu between the pipes, the Storm defeated the Eagles 5-2. Dale and Gordon each had two assists to lead the way for Kamloops. Lohmann (1G), Friesen (1G), Cole Merrick (1G), Chrystal (1G), Felix Larouche (1A), Robinson (1A), Bazian (1A), Cameron Trott (1A) and Brett Watkinson (1A) rounded out the scoring for the
Storm. Chrystal continued his tear on Sunday, in Kamloops’ 6-1 victory over the former divisional leaders, the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Chrystal potted two goals and one assist. Larouche (2A), Tylor Seabrooke (2A), Friesen (1G, A), Dale (1G), Robinson (1G), Gordon (1G), David Larouche (1A), Edouard Larouche (1A), Alexander Buchanan (1A), Bazian (1A), Watkinson (1A) and DuMont (1A) also chipped in for the victors.
When Tom Bachynski and a group of community members set out to build the South Cariboo Recreation Centre in 2000, they knew junior B hockey could thrive in 100 Mile House. Fourteen years later, the 100 Mile House Wranglers are in the throes of their second season and the dream has come to fruition. “The hockey has been unbelievable,” said Bachynski, the team’s president, before the Wranglers faced off against the Kamloops Storm in 100 Mile House on Friday, Oct. 3. “The first year was absolutely magical.” 100 Mile House has embraced the Wranglers with open arms. Bachynski described the community as one starved for events and, since coming to town, the Wranglers have been not just a draw, but THE draw. Some nights, there isn’t a ticket to be had in the 1,700-person town. The Wranglers’ home barn has a capacity of 810 — 328 seats, more than 300 bench spots and standing room. The team has 314 season ticket holders, filling all but 14 of the venues seats. Come November, when the community is finished hunting and fishing and the season is in full swing, the team will average more than 650 fans. “It has been a real community glue for us, I think,” Bachynski said. “The kids, to see them have role models that are local . . . you can actually see them trying to aspire to a higher level,” said Margaret Ramsay, a Grade 5 and 6 teacher in attendance on Friday. “Half my class is here. They look forward to the weekend. They’re talking about the players and who they’re watching.” Long-term, the hope is the Wranglers will grow minor hockey in the community. It has already motivated the local association to ensure there is always a rep team in the both bantam and midget levels, in order to ensure the Wranglers have players to draw from, if needed. Bachynski grew up in Nelson, where playing for the junior B Leafs was the goal for most of the community’s high-end hockey players. One day soon, he hopes kids grow up dreaming of playing for the Wranglers. “It was a rite of passage,” he said. “It might be 10 years from now but I think we’ll see that as time goes on.”

Ryder Cup a disaster for Watson-led American group
T
he Ryder Cup used to be a cakewalk for the United States. Automatic. If one word could be used to describe their biennial competition against Europe, it was “dominant.” Now, in the wake of the latest Ryder Cup instalment, the word associated with the Americans also starts with a “D”: Disaster. Not only did the Americans get whipped 16.5 to 11.5 to run their winless streak on European soil to 21 years, but the subtitle to the American performance was Mutiny on the Bounty. Team captain Tom Watson, chosen by the PGA of America to lead the U.S. for the second time, is beloved in Scotland, thanks to four of his five British Open titles coming on Scottish soil. This year’s competition at Gleneagles in the Scottish Highlands looked like a perfect fit — Watson leading his troops on his beloved Scottish turf. But, troubles started early. Some said Watson, 65, was out of touch with the younger generation. When he made his three captainpick selections, the second-guessers were quick to quibble, sug-
gesting the choice of Webb Simpson was at least a double bogey, maybe a triple. It turned out they were right. When the underdog Americans started poorly, Watson reportedly turned critic instead of booster and the U.S. foundation began to crumble. The Americans were down 10-6 going into Sunday’s singles and they lost that set, too, 6.5 to 5.5. The backstabbing was swift and hurtful. Watson was ripped for benching Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley for both sessions Saturday, for telling his players to simply “play better” and for telling his team in a supposed bonding session Saturday night that they “stink at foursomes.” Mickelson then threw Watson under the bus in a post-competition news conference, hinting strongly the eight-time major champion was basically out of his league. The Europeans, meanwhile, are always like one big happy family, but it’s easy to take that approach when you’re winning almost every Cup. The Euros are 9-4-1 since 1985, but the Americans hold a commanding 25-12-2 lead overall. In 1979, the United

Kingdom (down 21-3-1 overall) was allowed to extend its player selection to all of Europe, so it would help to even out what had been a terribly one-sided competition. Now, the pendulum has swung the other way. The Euros, led by Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Martin Kaymer, are powerful; the Americans are pouting, and looking for answers. They have two years to figure things out before the next Ryder Cup extravaganza at Hazeltine in suburban Minneapolis. • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A parachutist delivering the game ball for the Central Florida-Penn State game missed the stadium completely.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ryan Johansen missed most of training camp in a loud and public contract impasse. He also missed his teammates. The team’s 22-year-old leading scorer finally reached agreement with the club on a three-year deal that will pay him US$3 million each of the first two years and $6 million in the third year. The cap hit will be $4 million per season, according to figures supplied by the office of Johansen’s agent, Kurt Overhardt. “I’m really excited to have this deal done,” Johansen said in a state-
ment released by the club. “I can’t wait to rejoin my teammates, coaches and our fans in Columbus and help this team build on what we’ve started the past two seasons.” Coach Todd Richards was happy to have Johansen returning and also to not have the strained negotiations grabbing his or his players’ attention. Pending travel and visa arrangements, Johansen, who was in the Vancouver area when the deal was announced, was expected to be available for the Blue Jackets’ season opener on Thursday night in Buffalo.

Royals, Giants among teams relying on young talent to advance DAVE SKRETTA
THE ASSOCAIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One by one, the camera panned over the faces of the Kansas City Royals, who had lined up along the first-base line for introductions before Game 3 of their AL Division Series. When it settled on Brandon Finnegan, the crowd roared just a little bit louder. On one hand, it made perfect sense. Finnegan has been downright stellar in the playoffs, pitching four sharp innings and earning a win. He’s provided the power lefthanded arm out of the bullpen that the Royals knew they would need if they were to make a deep run. On the other hand, it made little sense at all. This is a guy that few fans knew nothing about six weeks ago, and virtually nobody knew anything about six months ago. “It’s definitely a shock to me,” said
Finnegan, who began the year leading TCU to the College World Series and could end it by leading the Royals to a very different World Series. “It’s been a whirlwind,” Finnegan said, “but it’s been a blessing and a lot of fun.” The 21-year-old first-round pick could be a poster child for rousing rookies taking the baseball playoffs by storm this year. On the Royals alone, he’s joined by young flamethrower Yordano Ventura, infielder Christian Colon and speedy utility man Terrance Gore. With the exception of Ventura, none of them played much in the regular season. Giants reliever Hunter Strickland, who skipped Triple-A on his way to the big leagues, struck out Washington’s Ian Desmond on a 100mph fastball with the bases loaded to end the sixth inning Friday. While he gave up two solo homers in the seventh, the Giants still
hung on for a 3-2 victory in their NL Division Series opener. Strickland’s 23-yearold teammate, Joe Panik, had five hits in his first 10 playoff at-bats. He made his major league debut in May and batted .305 in 73 games. In the other National League series, St. Louis outfielder Randal Grichuk homered off the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw in his first post-season plate appearance on Friday. His 22-year-old teammate Marco Gonzales earned the win when the Cardinals held on, 10-9, in Game 1. “When it comes down to it, it is the same game,” Panik said. “You have to be more fine with the little things. When the pressure gets on you, tell yourself to stay within yourself.” He did that sublimely in Game 2 on Saturday night. San Francisco was trailing 1-0 with two outs in the ninth inning and Nationals starter
Jordan Zimmermann had retired 20 batters in a row. Panik came to the plate representing either the tying run or final out, and he worked a walk to extend the game. He later scored to force extra innings, and the Giants ultimately won 2-1 in 18. “It’s fun to watch a guy who’s confident in himself,” said Giants catcher Buster Posey, no stranger to doing big things at a young age. “He understands what type of player he is. It looks to me like he’s got one of those swings that’s just extremely consistent. You’re going to see a lot of line drives and base hits. He’s been huge for us.” “It’s tough enough to make your big league debut,’’ Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer explained, “but to be fresh for a month — a month fresh in the big leagues — and come into a playoff situation, a do-or-die situation like that, it shows a lot.”

PAMELA BERYL BLOXOM Pamela Beryl Bloxom (née Hazard), the most amazing woman, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, of Kamloops B.C., was taken from us, October 2, 2014. She was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, October 14, 1943, to Leonard and Mary Hazard (née Ackerman). Pam is survived by her husband and soul mate Garnett Ray Bloxom whom she married on August 26, 1961. Still together for over 50 years of marriage, their love is eternal. Pam is also survived by her daughters, who were also her best friends, Wendy Henning (Duane), Brenda Garvey (Peter), Donna Bloxom (Cory). Pam was lovingly known as Granny to seven grandchildren: Sean, Samantha, Chelsea (Bill), Tanner (Kiara), Carson, Jorde and Colton. She was also adopted as Mother, Granny and Aunty to many, many more. Pam was the oldest of six siblings: Patricia (dec), Dennis (dec), Wayne (dec), Margaret and David. She grew up in Maillardville B.C., and graduated from Queen Elizabeth High School in 1961. After marriage, she and Garnett lived in many cities within B.C. before settling in Kamloops in 1978. She was a long-time community member of Westsyde in Kamloops, and together with Garnett owned the Westsyder Pub. The Pub is home to a community of its own; the regular stomping grounds of many; a place, as all places, where Pam was loved immensely. She and Garnett were adventurous together; they lived in the moment, always making new memories in the many places they visited throughout the years. However her favourite places were their beautiful home in Westsyde, where she loved to entertain and host during the holidays, and the cabin, located at North Barriere Lake. It’s the setting for countless memories and happy times with the countless friends and family who visited. The more the merrier; everyone was always welcome. Pam loved to golf, and was an active member of the Dunes at Kamloops. In her younger years she enjoyed many activities including slo-pitch, curling, skiing, both on snow and water. Cooking was her passion, whether it was a meal for ten or one hundred, it made no difference; their door was always open. To describe Pam, Mom, or Granny is simple: she was pure love. She was inexhaustible kindness, never ending energy; if she stopped moving it was for a very brief moment or to share a memory with the people she loved. Selfless, and a friend to everyone who met her, Pam was always positive and found the good in everybody she met; she was loved by all; Self-described as THE luckiest woman in the world, her family meant everything and more to her. A Celebration of her life will be held Friday, October 10, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Calvary Temple, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops B.C. with Chaplain Mary Widmer officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Pam’s honour. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Compact crossover with class 2015 GLA PUTS BENZ IN A NEW LEAGUE ROB BEINTEMA
METROLAND MEDIA
I
t’s too bad the photo has already given the game away. Because if we were playing “Name that Car” based on just a few mentioned features, like say, a twin powerdome hood, a big wing spoiler, dub wheels with bright red calipers, red-stitched sport seats and, heck, even redstrapped seat belts, you’d probably guess that I was describing some boy-racer’s riced-out tuner car. But no, we’re in an entirely different league here, as Mercedes-Benz Canada recently debuted the two models of its newest entry-level crossover, just starting to arrive now at dealers across the country. Following up on the successful launch of the popular compact CLA sedan, Mercedes has added a crossover derivative - the 2015 GLA - mounted on a shared platform but with a sport utility emphasis designed to “reinterpret the compact SUV segment”. Competitors include the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Infiniti QX50. The 2015 GLA “sportcute” lineup offers two distinctive flavours - the entrylevel but well-equipped GLA 250 4MATIC ($37,200) and the GLA 45 AMG ($50,500), a top-of-the-line performance derivative. The GLA lineup completes Mercedes’ wideranging five-model SUV portfolio (GLA, GLK, ML, GL and G). But this is not just another boxy Benz. While maintaining some traditional Mercedes-Benz cues, the GLA shuns a good deal of the right-angled familial resemblances,
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA compact crossover lineup, recently launched in the green hills of Vermont, featuring a two model choice, the GLA 250 4MATIC ($37,200) or, pictured here, the GLA 45 AMG ($50,500) in bright Jupiter Red, a performance derivative that can be optioned with various packages including the Driver’s Package with AMG rooftop spoiler, 20-inch AMG 10-spoke wheels and more.
blending the raised vehicle body architecture with a low greenhouse, muscular haunches, discrete body cladding and a large wheel stance for a unique look, different from the other M-B sport utes. The rounded corners and sleek profile result in a slippery 0.29 cD of drag. Aerodynamic touches range from radiator shutters to rear side spoilers, sealed gaps and special mirror designs. Extensive underbody panelling, even a shape-optimized muffler, contributes to the overall aerodynamic package,
reducing NVH and improving fuel economy. Inside, the GLA is adequately spacious and comfortable for its size. Compared to its CLA sedan sibling, the GLA’s higher ceiling and roomier interior dimensions really make this model a viable compact alternative worth considering. Second-row seating is actually do-able. The hatchback rear access and improved cabin size enhances the GLA’s passenger seating and luggage storage capabilities. Cargo space is rated at 421 litres,
expanding to 1235 litres with the rear seats folded flat. The GLA’s muscular exterior appearance is also reflected inside by a combination of matte wood or metallic “cool-touch” trim pieces, strong contrasts and high quality materials. Five “jet engine” air vents dominate the twinsectioned dashboard. A three-spoke steering wheel with 12 function keys and a freestanding display screen anchor a long list of standard and available equipment. But we can’t get into too
many interior or exterior trim specifics here because while both GLA models vehicles share the same dimensions and both also feature 2.0-litre DOHC turbo-powered inline fourcylinder engines mated to seven-speed DCT automatic transmissions and latest generation 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive systems, there are just as many differences as there are similarities between the two. The 2015 GLA 250 4MATIC is powered by the M270 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine, producing 208
hp and 258 lb/ft of torque. With this engine, the GLA 250 4MATIC will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds and will return a fuel economy rating of 9.8/7.4/8.7L/100km (city/ hwy/comb). You might expect me to skim past this model quickly to get to the AMG version but the GLA 250 4MATIC is no slouch, offering decent power, acceleration and handling for everyday driving demands. Taut steering and a smooth ride won me over. See HAVE YOUR, page 00

And other driving assistance systems, standard or optional, include Attention Assist drowsiness detection, the radar-based Collision Prevention Assist, Distronic Plus, Lane Tracking with Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Highbeam Assist and Active Parking Assist.

a little more attitude, a little more taut suspension jiggle, and a whole lot more muscle courtesy of the world’s most powerful series production fourcylinder engine. The AMG M133 2.0-litre turbo motor boasts 355 hp and 332 lb/ft of peak torque that will reduce 0-100 km/h acceleration times to 4.8 seconds. Fuel economy takes a minor hit at 10.5/8.1/9.4L/100km (city/hwy/comb). A reinforced AMG DCT SPEEDSHIFT seven-speed automatic puts the power through a performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system that sets new standards in dynamic handling, accented by a lowered suspension, sport steering and many other dynamic tweaks. This is called “having your cake and eating it too” because you get all the passenger accommodation, technologies and even more luxuries, along with the bonus package of outstanding performance. A special limited offering of fifty GLA 45 AMG Edition 1 models will also be available for Canadian collectors. Of course, that kind of edgy performance might be a little harder to live with over the ruts and bumps of everyday existence, but the sheer exuberance of the GLA 45 AMG’s power and handling, and the snarling roar and backpressure burble of that impressive little four-banger will easily win over any racer wanna-bes, weekend warriors and adrenaline junkies looking for compact crossover qualities with some added attitude. With two different versions of the same GLA compact crossover blending shared qualities along with diverse power outputs and pricing levels from both ends of the spectrum, we’ll have to leave it to Mercedes-Benz customers to decide. And thanks to the addition of this entry-level 2015 GLA lineup, there seem to be a lot more of those customers showing up in Mercedes-Benz showrooms lately.

Canada’s CF-18s poised for takeoff Postmedia pays MURRAY BREWSTER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canadian CF-18s will soon be heading off to war in Iraq, leaving Parliament and the public in a fog about some key elements of the military commitment — notably what efforts will be made to limit civilian casualties. The House of Commons stands poised to approve a motion, likely today (Oct. 7), that would deploy six fighterbombers, two CP-140 surveillance planes and one refuelling aircraft for coalition air strikes in Iraq for up to six months. The vote comes as the Pentagon warns that extremists with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have “gotten better at concealment’’ since the U.S., Britain, France and key Arab

countries began air raids. U.S. Rear Admiral John Kirby, the assistant secretary of defence for public affairs, told reporters in Washington that extremists who rode around in the open have now dispersed and are hiding among the civilian population, but forcing allied air forces to change their own strategy. “We’ve seen them change some of their tactics,’’ Kirby said. “Before the airstrikes happened, they were — they pretty much had free rein. They don’t have that free rein anymore, because they know we’re watching from the air.’’ The Harper government was
Newest SCC judge begins his tenure LEE-ANN GOODMAN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Quebec judge Clement Gascon became the newest member of the Supreme Court of Canada on Monday (Oct. 6), formally taking his seat on the country’s highest court, but without the usual parliamentary scrutiny. Gascon is the first judge since 2006 to join the panel without appearing before an ad hoc committee of parliamentarians. He fills a vacancy that’s been open for more than a year, the longest in the court’s history. In often light-hearted remarks at a ceremony welcoming him to the bench, Gascon thanked the court and Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, adding he thought about taking a selfie to commemorate the event “but the judiciary is not there yet.’’ A self-described workaholic, he also said his wife had joked that appointing him to the Supreme Court was “like appointing an alcoholic the president of the LCBO.’’ The LCBO is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. In more sombre comments, the 54-year-old Gascon said he takes on his new job with a mix of “pride and apprehension,’’ adding he feels blessed to serve as a Supreme Court justice. “I want to make sure I am worthy of the trust placed in me,’’ he said. “I intend to live up to the challenge to the best of my abilities. Like all the members of the court, I want to maintain the essential trust of Canadians in their judiciary. I hope I’ll be able to make the justice system more effective, more intelligible, more accessible to my fellow Canadians.’’ McLachlin described Gascon as a “hard-working and gifted jurist.’’ Gascon joins the bench with a number of hotbutton cases on the horizon, touching on issues such as assisted suicide and the gun registry. Prime Minister Stephen Harper named Gascon to the Supreme Court in June after the court ruled his previous selection, Federal Court Justice Marc Nadon, was ineligible. The Nadon affair touched off an unprecedented public spat between the Conservatives and McLachlin.
mute during the debate about what precautions would be taken to prevent bombs from going astray and killing innocent people. Defence Minister Rob Nicholson would only say that the air force will “live up to the highest standards.’’ National Defence was asked what sort of legal agreements were in place to protect Canadian pilots from possible accusations of targeting civilians. A spokeswoman for Nicholson would only respond with the blanket assurance that the air force is “authorized to strike ISIL in the Republic of Iraq.’’
Cellphone users near border can be billed for roaming: group REGINA — A consumer advocacy group says wireless customers living near the border are at risk of accidental roaming charges due to interference from U.S. carrier signals. Bruce Cran, president of the Consumers’ Association of Canada, said it’s a national problem that affects every cellphone provider in the country. “You’ve got to be very vigilant with your bill,’’ said Cran, who added he has received complaints from people who have been dealing with the problem for almost a decade. “We get complaints from the Pacific to the Atlantic on this issue.’’ A Saskatchewan woman says her mobile Internet hot-spot device, called a Mi-Fi, has incurred international roaming charges, even though it hasn’t left her property near Alameda, a community not far from the U.S. border with North Dakota. — The Canadian Press
$316M for Sun’s English assets DAVID FRIEND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Postmedia is bulking up its ammunition against Facebook and Twitter by spending more than $316 million to purchase most of Sun Media, an effort it hopes will help stop the steady erosion of its advertising business. The move will make the owner of the National Post, and a slate of other digital news properties, a significantly larger national media player and allow it to tap further into the eroding newspaper industry as it builds its online network of websites. “We need this scale, and of course time, to be able to compete with the giant foreign-owned, digital-only companies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, etc.,’’ Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey said in a news conference on Monday. Buying Quebecor’s Englishlanguage operations puts a lot of options at Postmedia’s disposal, including 175 traditional newspapers

Postmedia also pockets valuable real estate that could soon be on the sales block, as it focuses on assets like the Canoe.ca national news website, which is part of the acquired properties. “Digital audiences are unbelievably valuable to this strategic acquisition,’’ Godfrey said. “Over time, our hope is that Canoe and all of the other related websites may very well become the jewel of the deal.’’ The sale is subject to approval by the Competition Bureau. However, Postmedia will still be dwarfed by the reach of its Silicon Valley competitors in the social media world. Google’s advertising division, for example, allows an advertiser to purchase banner ads that run on thousands of popular websites, as well as video spots featured on YouTube.

PERFORMANCE
TRU’S ACTORS WORKSHOP THEATRE PRESENTS ITS FIRST SHOW OF THE YEAR DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

t would be fair to say Reuben is a self-centred, self-congratulatory man. The protagonist of Jason Sherman’s play Patience seems to have it all — a good job, a family, friends, success, everything he needs to reassure himself that he has it all. And then, he has none of it. The wife left, taking the kids. The bosses fired him, blaming him for a failed deal and accusing him of stealing money from the firm. Wes Eccleston, an instructor in the theatrearts program at Thompson Rivers University, said he’s always wanted to direct a play by Sherman, because his works address so many aspects of the human condition. Essentially, Patience is the story of Reuben coming to terms with his new reality and looking for a way through his rage, his sense of unfairness and his blaming others to finally realizing he is the one at fault. Mercedes Basford, a senior student in the program, is one of 11 in the cast and is also assistant director. She called the script amazing and noted that each time the cast reads it or rehearses, they discover new aspects and new truths. “The depths of it, the twists it makes, they’re all so though-provoking,” Basford said. “And he does it so beautifully. It’s easy to pick up on the big ideas in it and it makes you think but not to the point you have to watch it six times to get the answers.” Eccleston said a practical reason he chose the script is because it involves a large cast, something that’s critical for students learning everything from running the show behind the scenes to stepping into the spotlight. In addition to Reuben and his wife, Donna — the character Basford portrays — the cast includes: • Reuben’s brother Phil, the go-to person when Reuben is looking for answers to the dilemmas and challenges he faces; • Liz, Phil’s girlfriend who, at a point in the play, finds herself attracted to Reuben; • Sarah, Reuben’s former flame who comes back into his life; See SET, page B3

Set ‘designed to be a lot like life,’ play episodic From page B1
• Paul, Reuben’s friend, Sarah’s husband and the catalyst that starts Reuben on his journey to self-discovery — largely after he has a chat with Paul and then learns his friend a year before; • Mike, another friend who is the one to tell Reuben their friend Paul — who just talked to Reuben — is dead; • A rabbi who has known Reuben since he was a child and who provides him with guidance; • Peter, Frank and Janice, three co-workers that fired Reuben. Peter is the instigator 10.375" X 2.857

behind Reuben’s termination, Frank isn’t as sure but goes along with Peter, and Janice is the one who thinks Reuben stole from the company. The play jumps around in timelines, Eccleston said, and the stage is kept sparse to allow for this. “It’s episodic, a lot
like a film,” he said, “and, to build a box set would have been taxing. Having the set move in and out reflects more of how the play is and helps create meaning. “It’s designed to be a lot like life; sometimes things stick around and sometimes things dissolve.”
In the end, the play appealed to Eccleston because it poses the kinds of questions that intrigue him: Where am I in life? How did I get here? How will I get back? What would I do if I lost everything in life? Patience runs at the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building on campus from Thursday, Oct. 9 to Saturday, Oct. 11 and Oct. 16 to Oct. 18. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $14 and are available at the ticket booth outside the theatre or by phoning 250-377-6100.

It’s the best thing I did for myself.
She grew up in an era where she felt guilty taking time or spending money on herself. Everything was for the family, the husband, the children. She was raised to believe that. When she was young she had to work and study. There was never time for herself. When she got married, she had a good job, so did her husband. Money was not a problem. But there was never money for herself. And then the children came, a son and a daughter. She continued to work but now the money went to buy a skating outfit for her daughter, a bike for her son, but there was never money for herself. Her husband’s rationale was that spending $500 on groceries was okay, but it was certainly not normal to spend $80 on her hair. She accepted that because she thought that was the way it was supposed to be. Her body shape had changed following the birth of her children. And as the years passed, it became more noticeable. Her husband suggested that she stop eating and start walking, which she did. But at the age of 49 starving and walking is not the way to get back in shape. She had a woman friend in her office whose body shape was similar to hers but then it began to change. She was younger looking, more alive. She asked her what she was doing to look so good. She said she was going to Powertone Health Studio. “This woman got the courage to call me and start a program,” says Irene, owner of Powertone. “She didn’t tell anyone not her husband or her friends.” A few months later friends began noticing a difference. She was happier, trimmer, she was looking after herself. She told her husband and he agreed when he saw how different she was. “Life had become boring, a ritual of home and work, but nothing for myself. Suddenly I am loving life and myself, my body has changed, I feel younger. I’m starting to live again and my husband loves the difference.”
