Former councillor dies in Japan

28 civic candidates seeking three seats The number of candidates seeking three seats on Kamloops council in the Sept. 30 byelection almost equals the total number of candidates who sought nine seats on council in the 2014 general civic election. Six people are vying for the vacant mayor’s chair and 22 people are seeking two empty councillor seats. The byelection came about due to the resignations on June 30 of Mayor Peter Milobar (who was elected Kamloops-North Thompson MLA in May) and councillors Marg Spina (who resigned to seek cancer treatment) and Ken Christian (who quit to run for the mayor’s chair). Running for mayor are Christian, Glenn Hilke, Stu Holland, Mike McKenzie, Todd McLeod and Bill McQuarrie. Seeking the two councillor chairs are Jennifer Adams, Nicholas Adams, Nancy Bepple, Jesse Bochek, Ray Dhaliwal, Jon Eadie, Dennis Giesbrecht, Ashlee Hudie, Sadie Hunter, Jim Johal, Stephen Karpuk, Caroline King, Kevin Krueger, Leslie Lax, Jeanne Marr, Jim Michals, Barbara Morin, Bill Sarai, Tracy Schmidt, Brad Serl, Kathy Sinclair and Gerald Watson. Voting is open to residents 18 years of age and older who have lived in B.C. at least six months from general voting day and in Kamloops for at least 30 days. Non-resident property owners may also vote once. Voters must present two pieces of identification to vote. For a full list of accepted options, visit kamloops.ca.

John Gracey said friends and colleagues are planning a service in Japan. He is uncertain about a memorial service in Canada.

a victory that surprised many, but not those familiar with his work in the sports community and with his family’s roots in the community. He was adopted at nine months of age by United Church ministers. Former city councillor John O’Fee kept in touch with Gracey after he moved to Japan a decade ago to teach. Gracey had a background working with at-risk youth, helping workers gain employment and was a graduate of Thompson Rivers University’s journalism program. More an advocate than a reporter, Gracey was a social-justice proponent. But his friends remember him for his carefree attitude. “It’s hard to have a conversation with Dave and not laugh at least once,” O’Fee said. O’Fee also credited Gracey with coming up with the idea of the Tournament Capital of Canada after he was elected on council in 1999. At that time, the city’s moniker was Tournament Capital of B.C. Gracey had roots in the sports community and was a passionate football organizer. He is credited with helping to start the Kamloops Cowboys junior football club, the predecessor to the Kamloops Broncos. Friend Tom Fox, who

BOUNCING INTO SUMMER’S END

Four-year-old Joseph Moroni enjoys the bouncy castle during the end -of-summer celebration on the weekend at the B.C. Wildlife Park. The park is gearing up for the fall and winter seasons as school begins.

Police are warning the public about an unpredictable and potentially dangerous 1,400-pound bull believed to be on the loose in east Kamloops. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the bellicose bovine escaped from the BC Livestock yard in Dallas last week. She described the bull as being tan in colour, with large horns and no brands. “The animal is very unpredictable and could be dangerous,” Shelkie said. “Police are warning the public not to approach the bull.” Shelkie said the animal was spotted over the weekend between Tanager Drive and Pineridge Golf Course.

Dix says RIH expansion will proceed CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C.’s new health minister pledged to move forward with the proposed surgical tower at Royal Inland Hospital and said the city may be the recipient of an urgent-care centre outlined in the NDP’s platform. Minister of Health Adrian Dix stood with reporters Monday on a spot outside Ponderosa Lodge familiar to him as a longtime Opposition critic in the health portfolio. This time, however, he was accompanied by Interior Health public-relations staff and given full access as minister. While speaking about government plans, Dix made special effort to recognize the jobs of health-care workers during the wildfire evacuation — from doctors and nurses taking care of patients transported from the Cariboo to plant staff who opened up the third floor of Ponderosa Lodge on Columbia Street downtown.

“Health-care workers in Kamloops did extraordinary, heroic things in the period of the wildfire — they’re not over, of course,” Dix said. The evacuation strained resources at RIH, placing some patients in hallways and with substandard care. Dix said there will be lessons learned after the wildfires abate. “After they’ve gone through it. people will know things they can do better next time,” he said. Dix was asked about the new NDP government’s commitment to the proposed $417-million patient care tower at RIH. Dix said his mandate from Premier John Horgan is to get the project moving as fast as possible. Interior Health Authority executives will look at requests for qualification this fall. Construction is expected to begin next year. Before then, Dix said bringing better primary care to Kamloops and its chronic doctor shortage is a priority.

The city is up for consideration for an urgent-care centre proposed in the party’s election platform. While details are not sketched out, the centres are expected to be set up somewhere between a hospital emergency department and current health authority clinics that have patient rosters and are not available for walkin treatment. In addition to IHA staff, Dix met with the Thompson Division of Family Practice, which represents physicians in the Kamloops area with recruiting. “Certainly, Kamloops is a place and, based on what I’ve heard today, would be an excellent place for that [urgent care clinic],” he said. Like his predecessors, Dix noted the issue of doctor shortages is complex. He noted there are now more physicians and nurse practitioners in B.C. now than when previous minister Terry Lake took office in 2013.

Westsyde Pool Mayoral candidate is pro-Ajax set to reopen KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017

ANDREA KLASSEN

Saturday, Sept. 30

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre will reopen on Friday, Sept. 8, with free admission for all. The facility adjacent to Westsyde secondary houses a pool, hot tub and fitness centre and has been closed for more than two years — since June 2015 — after the city discovered moisture had leaked into the roof of the building from the pool tank, rotting the roof from the inside out. The $3-million project, which began last summer, included a full rebuild of three walls of the pool enclosure, including foundation work, and a new roof. Only one original wall remains and it’s also been partially rebuilt to turn the once-sloped pool roof into a square building similar to what swimmers see at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. “The new structure is specifically engineered to withstand the unique conditions of a pool environment,” said Matt Kachel, capital projects supervisor for the City of Kamloops. He said new features include large windows and high ceilings, providing more openness and natural light. Other areas of the facility have also been refreshed, with new equipment in the fitness centre, a renovated lobby and cosmetic updates throughout. In addition, Westsyde Pool will soon feature Canada’s first AquaClimb KURVE aquatic climbing wall and a zip swing. Both pieces of equipment will be installed in September. Details on programming, rates and hours can be found in the Fall Activity Guide or online at www. kamloops.ca/swim. Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre is at at 859 Bebek Rd.

A Kamloops mayoral candidate styling himself as a the city’s “blue collar option” wants city council to take another look at the proposed Ajax mine. “I’d really like city council to revisit the issue and give it a second thought,” Stuart Holland told KTW. “I think they’re running with — I’m not going to say the treehugger approach to it.” Holland said the mine would be a job creator, adding he doesn’t believe concerns raised by those opposed to Ajax — such as a possibility of increased dust — are likely. “There’s more health risks in this city from the pulp mill and, if you look at Mount Paul, those dirt roads that go up in there create more dust than Ajax

ever will,” he said. Holland, who works as a project manager on Ministry of Highways road construction projects and owns a decorative concrete business, moved to the city about five years ago.

His other plans for the city include partnering with the Tk’emlups Indian Band to create a wind farm, which he suggests would be located someone “out of sight and out of mind” on higher ground.

“It is viable,” he said. “I don’t have the history on everything Kamloops has reviewed, but I know it gets awfully windy among those hills and you could put it somewhere it’s not going to impact people’s views, it’s not going to impact the fisheries, it’s not going to impact forestry.” As well, Holland suggests the city could become a site for greenhouses to grow tree seedlings to reforest areas hit hard by this year’s wildfires. Holland also wants to see Kamloops do more to support homeless and marginalized

people in the city. Like many candidates in the race, he wants to see the city emulate Medicine Hat, Alberta, which has made claims to have ended long-term homelessness locally. Holland, who lived in the southern Alberta city for nearly two decades, said he was planning to speak with the mayor of Medicine Hat to see what lessons Kamloops could take and what it would require to set up a similar program locally. He said he hopes taking a lead on housing will help with conflicts between homeowners and businesses and people who are using Interior Health’s new mobile supervised drug use site. “I’d like to see the city come together a little bit stronger and say. ‘Not in our back yard’ and really help these people,” he said.

Bepple was in her second term as a councillor when she resigned her seat for mental health reasons. She placed 16th in the 2014 municipal election and did not reclaim her spot on council. More recently, she ran as the B.C. NDP’s candidate for Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and placed second, behind B.C. Liberal incumbent Todd Stone.

A former city councillor is hoping the second vote is the charm for a return to city hall. Nancy Bepple, who stepped down from her council seat in 2013, said she wants to focus on improving life in Kamloops for people with disabilities and seniors. “If you make a city that works for seniors and low income people and people with disabilities, it actually works for everybody,” she said. “To me, a really simple example is in the Sandman Centre. They have a washroom that’s available for different types of people . . . that washroom is way, way up on the top floor in the box seats and I’m sure most people would

more cycling safety measures in the city’s core. She also wants to see grants increased to non-profits that deal with emergency support. Her other platform priority is to increase the amount of light industrial land in the

city, something she said is in rapidly dwindling supply. Bepple sees an undeveloped piece of land in the Iron Mask area in the city’s southwest sector as the most likely option for creating new light industrial property. “What it would take is the city getting a whole bunch of people to the table — developers, the provincial government and maybe even the federal government,” she said. “There’s a huge cost in providing services like sewer and water, roadways, that has to

speaking Getting “long in the tooth” is NOT inevitable! Today adults are keeping their natural teeth more than ever before. Oral hygiene practices, public education along with heightened Dr. Preety Desai expectations are key to this fact. Researchers have repeatedly shown that oral health is important for basic comfort and appearance, but also for systemic health, nutrition, social and psychological well-being. Extraction of teeth is now the EXCEPTION NOT THE RULE! Oral health is an essential element of healthy aging so much so that the Gerontological Society of America has released six specific recommendations aimed at raising people’s quality of life as they age for all medical health providers aimed at doctors, nurses, pharmacists, social workers etc. Nothing yet in Canada. When I see patients about to face tooth loss, it is devastating. You are losing a body part! Yes, there are other teeth in the mouth that can take up the load …. but it truly is the beginning of the end. Scientists have show that once you lose one tooth you are 10X more likely to lose subsequent teeth. Nature created man as a herbivore. Thus a full set of teeth is required to chew our salads, nuts, fruits and vegetables effectively and efficiently. If you cannot chew effectively then the digestion of these foods puts extra strain on the whole digestive tract leading to indigestion, poor and incomplete nutrient uptake and bowel issues. As an adult reaches retirement age, the plan is to enjoy the last third of one’s life with friends, family and FOOD. If you can’t do this, so many social occasions and interactions are compromised and restrictive. NO FUN! Of course if teeth have to be lost, there are alternatives. Dentures are the WORST method of tooth replacement. Now with implants, replacing one or all the teeth is possible and there is a cost effective option for all budgets. Even though implants are the BEST way to replace missing teeth they are NOT your teeth: they are still more expensive than keeping your teeth, higher maintenance and very susceptible to the least bit of damage, food accumulation and infection vs your NATURAL teeth. So be aware when weighing the alternatives of trying to keep your tooth vs calling it quits and going for the implant. Every day I see patients from all over dealing with implant problems. There is no magic bullet!

NDP HAS CHANCE TO WALK THE WALK

he provincial public accounts released by Finance Minister Carole James have the NDP and Greens pleased with their position. Having pried control of the provincial government from the Liberals, the NDP are the recipients of a $2.7 billion surplus. James clearly signaled the government’s intentions: “It is long past time for the citizens of B.C. to share in the benefits of the strong economy they helped create.” Translation: It’s time to spend. The Liberals will use this as their first point of attack, now that they’re back in opposition — though it should be noted government spending was going up well before the election. The problem the NDP now faces is that $2.7 billion doesn’t go as far as it used to. The Liberals for years prioritized funding of infrastructure, much of it very useful — bridges, roads, schools and hospital expansions, including at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Transportation, education and social services never seemed to get as much attention. Or, at least, the then-Opposition New Democrats claimed as much. With that $2.7-billion surplus, the NDP now has an opportunity to do what it said needed to be done for the past 16 years. If the NDP makes investments in those areas, it will help a lot of people, but it will also increase the amount spent year after year on salaries for bus drivers, nurses, teachers, doctors and others. There are people in dire need in B.C. and that surplus can help. Building a better future will be costly, but necessary, if we want the province to thrive — but the New Democrats need to have firm plans in place to avoid staring at reams of red ink tomorrow after helping people today.

ICBC: No easy answers

olitics is all too often an exercise in assigning blame at the expense of analysis and tough choices that lead to solutions. We’re seeing that with the Insurance Corporation of B.C., that great icon of the province’s first NDP government. Like the other signature achievement of the Dave Barrett years, the Agricultural Land Reserve, ICBC has been a mixed blessing. So, let’s get the blame out of the way first. In July, incoming Justice Minister David Eby released the previous government’s independent review of ICBC. Ernst & Young calculated the current trend points to a 30 per cent basic insurance rate increase in the next two years. Eby reverted to the well-worn lines of his party’s 16 years in opposition, giving the media the sound bite they expected. “The B.C. Liberals have been using ICBC as a bank machine, bringing money out of the corporation to claim better finances than are the case,” Eby said. Yes, just as previous NDP and Social Credit governments did. There’s just one problem. The B.C. Liberals put an end to the practice starting in 2016, a pre-election repentance that was little noticed, mostly unreported and didn’t help them with voters. That doesn’t excuse the B.C. Liberals. The point is that’s not what is pushing the huge rate hike that lies ahead today. That would be rising accident rates, even with ever-safer cars and roads, and soaring claim

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA costs for minor injuries. The latter is rising in lockstep with legal costs as more people turn those minor injuries into money. Eby also charged that the B.C. Liberals “failed to take the actions necessary” to deal with soaring claim costs. He then ruled out going to no-fault insurance with injury payouts based on a schedule, which would leave Eby’s fellow lawyers out in the cold. The B.C. Liberals didn’t fix that and it appears the NDP aren’t going to, either. The NDP’s action up to this writing has consisted of sacking and replacing board members. To start, lawyer and former B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Barry Penner was replaced as board chair by ex-NDP cabinet minister Joy MacPhail. When I spoke with Penner shortly after he was fired, he described the kind of tactic that ICBC is facing these days. Injury claimants have two years to file their claims after an accident and one scenario is accumulating a medical file for

two years and then dropping it on ICBC at the deadline. The patient keeps going back to the doctor every couple of weeks — thanks to that good old “free” Canadian health care — and then the whole thing is revealed in a claim for pain and suffering. ICBC now says it’s settling almost all of the steadily rising number of claims out of court. After being steady for several years, the number of crashes went up 23 per cent in just two years — 2015 and 2016. Injury claims rose 16 per cent in that time. Vehicle damage claims were up almost the same and it continues. Compared to 2009, the cost of injury claims in 2016 was up 80 per cent, to $2.7 billion. Why? Alcohol impairment has been down, thanks to steep fines and the threat of roadside vehicle seizures. Distracted driving fines and enforcement have been increased. Management bloat at ICBC was pared back, technology upgraded and insurance fraud investigations increased. ICBC has also increased the size of rate hikes for at-fault drivers in accidents. This last one is the only actual solution I’ve heard Eby propose — and it’s already being done.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WE NEED TO BE FIRE PROACTIVE RIGHT NOW Editor: I hope we can finally learn the lessons fires and subsequent reports tried to teach us in 2003, 2010 and this summer. We need to get back to prescribed burns and we need to be more proactive with preventive measures. Those are easy words for me, but more difficult for politicians to implement, so please hear me clearly. I realize these measures come at a cost. I am OK with a short-term tax increase, knowing there will be long-term savings by not spending hundreds of thousands (if not millions) per hour, annually, in reactive firefighting and associated losses. I am a long way from being a fire expert, but there are some items that seem apparent to me. By doing proactive measures, we can build guards, put out sprinklers and hoses and do backburns on regular wages, not overtime.

Helicopters and airplanes are on the ground, loaded and ready, but on standby rates, not fullrate in-flight charges. We can aim for days with a good venting index. We can post notices advising those with health issues so they can leave or properly prepare themselves. We need to mow our highway ditches. Smokers aren’t getting any smarter and vehicles are still having accidents and leaving the road. Green grass is harder to burn. Should we change what we plant in our ditches? Are there ground cover species less likely to dry out and become a hazard? Should we burn the grass in the ditches? None of these measures are easy to implement because of the wide range of jurisdictions, budgets and perspectives. Hopefully private and public landowners and associated agencies can find common ground to reduce our hazards

and, therefore, our long-term costs. Please don’t tell me being proactive is not in the budget. There’s only one taxpayer — me — so federally, provincially or municipally, someone reacts to a wildfire and I pay the bill. I want that bill reduced. Please don’t tell me to wait and we’ll talk once the fires are out. We need to talk now, while everyone is raw and aware and paying attention. Once the cooler weather hits, the kids go back to school, fall sports begin and memories fade. The media are giving us daily exposure to myriad experts and academics with years of experience and insights. We need to gather the best of that information and act on it, starting now, in the fall of 2017. Tom Rankin Kamloops

RISING MINIMUM WAGE WILL HURT BUSINESSES Editor: Re: Guest editorial of Aug. 22 (‘Up rate sooner than later’) regarding the province’s minimum wage: We have been through this before. Back in 1992, when I was getting $19 an hour, we all said

we were overpaid. Today, people are making $44 an hour for what I was doing for $19 an hour. When I go to the store to buy a loaf of bread, I now get half as much as what I received last year for the same price.

I know seniors are in the poor house, along with a lot of others. Canada has to stop going for higher and higher wages as restaurants and other small businesses will not be able to stay in business.

I am retired and deal with a lot of restaurants and small businesses that I would like to see stay open. Everything is being priced out of control today. Frank Lang Kamloops

CITY COUNCIL WASHES NORTH SHORE DOWN THE DRAIN Editor: Regarding the cancellation of the planned wading pool at McDonald Park (‘New rules drain wading pool dreams in McDonald Park’): Are you kidding me? At least $500,000 to put in a wading pool?

What are they going to do, dig it with a teaspoon? The City of Kamloops had no problem spending nearly $500,000 to buy two old houses near Spirit Square off Tranquille Road — which I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why.

Reaching out on International Overdose Day ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kurtis Anderson knows about shame. “It creates a little demon on your shoulder that tells you to get away from people,” he said. For Anderson, a recovering addict, the stigma around drug use and addiction has had deadly consequences for people in his life. “Because there’s a

shame associated with it, people are going to use alone and they say even if you carry Naloxone (a temporary antidote to an overdose) — the quote is your Naloxone kit will never save your own life,” he said. Anderson and others involved in the organizational effort for Kamloops’ International Overdose Day event on Thursday are more interested in targeting

those feelings. Running from noon to 9 p.m. in Riverside Park, the event is focused on creating conversation around addiction and the emotional fallout that goes with it, particularly in the case of overdose deaths — which were declared a public health emergency in B.C. in April 2016. “It’s really meant to be a support for people who are impacted by

substance use and mental-health challenges and just promote dignity, respect and support,” said Sherry Robinson, who lost her son Tyler to a fentanyl overdose. “It’s about unity, coming together as a community.” Throughout the day, members of the public are invited to meet with community groups who provide addictions services, make memory flags for lost loved ones and participate in talking circles led by elders and facilitators. Robinson is hoping the event will spark “deep conversation” about what families and friends of those who have died of overdoses go through, as well as foster a better understanding of the challenges drug users face as they try to get clean, from clinics that may be closed on weekends to the difficulty of going through extreme withdrawal while living

on the street. “I think if more people know that they’re not alone, they might be willing to share and seek support,” added Jennifer Cottell, whose daughter is struggling with addiction. “And that can help reduce, ultimately, more death.” Robinson said the event will also highlight

the need for more support for those who have lost loved ones — often more than one. “I’m hearing just from friends of my son, ‘I don’t know where to go and get grief counselling and I know 17 people who have died this year.’ They’re just overwhelmed,” she said. Cottell is organizing a march as part of the

event. The march will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Marchers will be able to make signs in the park before walking through the downtown. Participants are asked to wear purple, the colour of International Overdose Day. Following the march, at about 8:30 p.m., a candlelight vigil will end the day.

City council mulls ‘moving’ budget MOVE TO KAMLOOPS PROGRAM UP FOR DEBATE ON TUESDAY ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city council will decide Tuesday whether to spend another $20,000 on a program that encourages technology companies and their staff to ditch the Lower Mainland for Kamloops. Council agreed last year to spend $100,000 on the Move to Kamloops program, which provides supplemental funding for business organizations promoting the city. Council is being asked to

spend another $10,000 on a program that will help companies sell potential new hires — mainly from Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver — on life in Kamloops. In addition, council is being asked to approve $5,000 to send a Kamloops delegation to the 2018 B.C. Tech Summit and another $5,000 for a winter fellowship program, which will see technology and startup founders given office space and accommodations as they try out the city for a short stay. A report from the Kamloops

Innovation Centre says past projects, including summer fellowships and a technology mentorship contest, have raised the city’s profile in the tech world within the province and on a more national scale. The report says the projects have provided local companies with mentorships and connections not otherwise immediately available. It’s not clear from the report that any Lower Mainland companies have relocated to Kamloops. Council will also be asked whether it wants to consider ongoing funding for Move to Kamloops, which would be up for further debate when compiling the 2018 budget.

More chaos in Houston as floodwaters rise THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trudeau shuffles cabinet with eye to focus on Aboriginal reconciliation Former TV host O’Regan handed vet file, Bennett gets Indigenous relations JOAN BRYDEN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HOUSTON — Floodwaters reached World News the roof lines of singlestory homes Monday, and people could be heard pleading for help from inside as Harvey kept pouring rain on the Houston area after a chaotic weekend of rising water and rescues. The nation’s fourth-largest city was still largely paralyzed, and there was no relief in sight from the storm that spun into Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, then parked itself over the Gulf Coast. With nearly two more feet of rain expected, authorities worried whether the worst was yet to come. The disaster unfolded on an epic scale in one of America’s most sprawling metropolitan centres. The Houston area is crisscrossed by about 2,700 kilometres of channels, creeks and bayous that drain into the Gulf of Mexico, about 80 kilometres to the southeast from downtown. More than 24 trillion litres of rain has fallen on Texas during the storm, which has killed at least seven people.

BRIEFS

German nurse probed in 86 deaths

BERLIN — A male nurse who was convicted of killing patients in Germany with overdoses of heart medication is now believed to have killed at least 86 people — and the true scale could be even larger, investigators said Monday. Many of the deaths could have been prevented if health authorities had acted more quickly on their suspicions, said Johann Kuehme, police chief in the northwestern city of Oldenburg. Niels Hoegel, now 40, was convicted in 2015 of two murders and two attempted murders at a hospital in the northwestern town of Delmenhorst. He was sentenced to life in prison. But prosecutors have long said they believe he killed many more people. The crimes came to light after Hoegel was convicted of attempted murder in another case. Authorities subsequently investigated hundreds of deaths, exhuming bodies of former patients in Delmenhorst and nearby Oldenburg. Kuehme said Monday that authorities have now unearthed evidence of 84 killings in addition to the ones for which Hoegel was convicted. The number of actual killings is likely higher because some possible victims were cremated, making it impossible to gather evidence, Kuehme added. “Eighty-four killings . . . leave us speechless,’’ Kuehme told reporters. “And as if all that were not enough, we must realize that the real dimension of the killings by Niels H. is likely many times worse.’’

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made former TV host Seamus O’Regan his new veterans affairs minister Monday in a mid-mandate shakeup that puts cabinet stalwart Jane Philpott at the heart of a retooled Indigenous Affairs department. Philpott is taking on a new Indigenous Services portfolio to work alongside Carolyn Bennett, whose new title — minister of Crown-Indigenous

relations and northern affairs — signals a sharper focus on reconciliation with Aboriginal Peoples. Ginette Petitpas Taylor becomes the new health minister, while Carla Qualtrough becomes minister of public works and procurement, replacing Newfoundland and Labrador MP Judy Foote, whose resignation prompted Monday’s shuffle. It’s widely seen as one of the toughest portfolios in cabinet, responsible for handling the federal govern-

ment’s troubled Phoenix pay system as well as handling defence procurement challenges. O’Regan and Bennett were seen arriving at Rideau Hall for the swearing-in ceremony. Asked his feelings about being named to cabinet, O’Regan would only say, “For once, I’m speechless.’’ Foote, who had been on leave from her cabinet portfolio, said last week that she was resigning her House of Commons seat for family health reasons. O’Regan’s pro-

motion ensures a continued seat at the cabinet table for Newfoundland and Labrador. With Trudeau having made gender parity in cabinet a big part of his government’s identity, he also needed to add a promising female backbencher to the cabinet table to restore the balance upset by Foote’s departure. That turned out to be Ginette Petitpas Taylor, whose promotion to the Health portfolio indicates a strong degree of confidence in the rookie New Brunswick MP.

U.N. panel calls for halt of Site C dam project THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A United Nations panel says the construction of British Columbia’s $8.8-billion Site C dam should be halted until there is a full review of how it would affect Indigenous land. The recommendation is contained in a report by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which has completed its periodic review of how Canada complies with the world body’s treaty to end racial discrimination. The recommendation comes three weeks after British Columbia’s NDP government requested a review of what had been a signature megaproject for former premier Christy Clark. The government

asked the B.C. Utilities Commission to determine the economic viability of the massive hydroelectric dam on the Peace River and issue a final report by Nov. 1. Site C has become controversial after the previous provincial Liberal government’s clean-energy laws allowed some projects to bypass a review by the regulatory agency. The UN panel says a full review should be conducted in collaboration with Indigenous Peoples to “identify alternatives to irreversible destruction of Indigenous lands. The committee heard testimony from a variety of groups on a wide range of topics related to racism and discrimination, but the recommendations on Indigenous issues are especially timely.

South Korea says North fired missile

SEOUL — South Korea’s military says North Korea fired a ballistic from its capital Pyongyang toward the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff on Tuesday said the South Korean and U.S. militaries were analyzing the launch and didn’t immediately confirm how far the projectile travelled and where it landed. The launch comes days after the North fired what was assessed as three short-range ballistic missiles into the sea and a month after its second flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, which analysts say could reach deep into the U.S. mainland when perfected. The North has also threatened to lob some of its missiles toward Guam and expressed anger over the ongoing annual war games between the United States and South Korea.

Peoples and focuses on Site C, saying “environmentally destructive decisions for resource development’’ are taking place.

FILM INDUSTRY

Construction of sound stage expected to boost film, TV production in Kamloops area TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

he man behind the construction of a production sound stage in a building on Laval Crescent says the project will boost local business while growing Kamloops’ burgeoning film industry. Peter Cameron-Inglis, CEO of Mastermind Studios, has received the green light from the city to build a 3,000-square-foot sound stage inside an existing building on Laval Crescent in Southgate. “The reason we don’t have anywhere near the amount of film production and television coming up to the Interior as there should be, given the scarcity in the Lower Mainland, is because we don’t have the crew or the facilities to do it,” he told KTW, noting renovations are expected to cost about $250,000 by the time the doors open, hopefully before the end of October. “It’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg scenario. We’ll use this as a training ground to service our crew.” Cameron-Inglis said the initial sound stage is just the beginning. “Our plan, once we have the industry adopting and using the facility here, we will be moving to build additional facilities,” he said. “But it’s baby steps.” After announcing plans for the sound stage on Friday, CameronInglis said he was already fielding calls from the Lower Mainland early this week. “As early as this morning, we’ve had two or three people from Vancouver saying, ‘Hurry up,’” he said Monday. “What you’ve got to realize is there are facilities in Vancouver not available until the fall of 2018, now going into 2019.

There’s only so “ much space and so

much availability in Vancouver, and that’s where a lot of this is taking place. The good thing is we’re only three hours away.

”

— PETER CAMERON-INGLIS Mastermind Studios

This warehouse space on Laval Crescent in Southgate is slated for transformation into a sound stage, the first in Kamloops and one of a handful in the Interior. It is expected to open its doors sometime in October.

“There’s only so much space and there’s only so much availability in Vancouver, and that’s where a lot of this is taking place. “The good thing is we’re only three hours away.” Cameron-Inglis acknowledged a similar project is under development in Kelowna and a smaller facility in the works in Vernon, but said Kamloops is capable of standing on its own. He said

the Tournament Capital area is already home to industry professionals who could serve as the core base of crew moving forward. “There is a great base,” Cameron-Inglis said. “There are producers here, casting directors, grip, production assistants, actors — we’ve got the base of the industry here, but they’ve got to travel.” Cameron-Inglis said he is

excited to build the sound stage on Laval Crescent, given the location’s proximity to trades like electrical and mill working shops, a sign company and a food wholesaler — all things essential for film production. “We’re surrounded by all the services that film needs,” he said. “It’s perfect. We can support the businesses we’re surrounded by while growing our industry.”

CALGARY — Canadian gasoline prices are expected to rise this week after widespread flooding from tropical storm Harvey forced many refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast to shut down. Wholesale gasoline prices in the country will likely rise by an average of two to four cents per litre by Thursday, said GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst Dan McTeague, but consumers in certain markets could see much higher price increases. McTeague explained that retail operators in markets like Calgary, Montreal and Ottawa are barely breaking even now and could use the wholesale price increase as an excuse to raise prices by as much as another 10 cents per litre to boost profit margins. “Traders are taking a wait and see approach and I think that’s really why you’re going to see very little, for now at least, in the way of any major spikes until at least Thursday or Friday,’’ he said. U.S. gasoline future prices spiked Monday morning but Canadian prices shown on the GasBuddy.com website were little changed. BMO Capital Markets economist Sal Guatieri said gasoline futures prices rose to more than two-year highs overnight after the storm knocked out about a 10th of U.S. refinery capacity. “The damage could worsen if continued rains extend the flooding,’’ he warned in a report, pointing out that U.S. spot oil prices were down due to the reduction in gasoline refinery demand.

2017 Subaru Forester has character to spare MICHEL DESLAURIERS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

ubaru always stood out from the competition with its uniqueness, although some prefer to call it “quirkiness.” Being different doesn’t necessarily result in high sales volumes, especially in some very conservative market segments, such as the midsize sedan class. But in others, it can be an advantage. In the case of the 2017 Subaru Forester, it refuses sticking to the cookie-cutter design currently spreading across the compact SUV field. The Forester no longer looks like the box it came in when it first arrived on the market in 1998. However, it distinguishes itself from its rivals with a low beltline and a high roofline, which means a larger window surface and excellent outward visibility all around. Its design may look dated, but it actually received some updates for 2017, including new front bumper and grille, as well as reshaped headlight clusters and taillights. All trim levels except the base 2.5i benefit from new alloy wheel designs, while a Sepia Bronze

For people who like to live outdoors and need a vehicle to bring off the beaten path, the Subie is tough to beat.

Metallic has been added to the colour palette. The cockpit is largely unchanged compared to last year’s model and its design won’t win any prizes on its own. The overall look is bland and some elements could be improved upon. One such element is the trip computer and climate control display that sits on top of the dashboard; the information is there, but

the graphics look archaic and the control button fussy. On the other hand, fit and finish is pretty good. Most Forester variants come equipped with a 6.2-inch touchscreen, while the Limited trim levels benefit from a larger, 7.0-inch unit that incorporates pinch and swiping gestures. They’re a little small, but they work well, although their tactile sensitivity and menu layout aren’t as slick as some of its competitors’ sys-

tems — FCA’s Uconnect and Ford’s SYNC 3 come to mind. Seat comfort is excellent, the front centre armrest slides to accommodate elbows of folks who sit closer to the wheel and there’s a good amount of room for backseat passengers, enhanced by a low transmission tunnel in the floor. Cargo space is amongst the roomiest in the compact SUV segment and the rear seatbacks fold down to create an

almost flat load floor. From a versatility standpoint, the 2017 Subaru Forester scores. The Subie is capable, too. It’s the only one in its class to feature full-time all-wheel drive and, for those who like to row their own gears, a six-speed manual is still available on a couple of low-buck trim levels. Not many SUVs can be equipped with a manual gearbox and, combined with all-wheel-drive, the choice narrows down even more. Our test vehicle was equipped as such and, while it works decently well, the manual won’t make this SUV feel like a WRX. For those who prefer an automatic transmission, the Forester’s continuously variable unit works like a charm. On the other hand, the horizontally opposed, 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine doesn’t sound very refined, although it’s less noticeable when bolted to the CVT automatic, which keeps engine revolution to a minimum. It’s a typical Subaru engine growl that the brand’s loyalists have grown accustomed to, but SUV buyers stepping into a Forester for the first time might not be all that impressed.

‘17 Forester’s fuel economy is excellent From A17

Still, it has improved over the years and its output of 170 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque are sufficient for getting the Forester up to speed swiftly. If that’s not enough, a 250-hp, turbocharged 2.0-litre four is available in the 2.0XT trims — strapped to the CVT only. Despite the fulltime AWD hardware — which splits power

from 60/40 front/rear to 50/50 according to road conditions with the CVT automatic or sets a fixed 50/50 ratio with the manual gearbox — fuel economy is excellent. An automatic Forester boasts city/ highway figures of 9.2 / 7.4 L/100 km; only the newly redesigned 2017 Honda CR-V can do better with its turbo 1.5-litre engine. The Subie’s boxer four

emergency braking, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control, is only $1,500 away. The 2017 Subaru Forester isn’t as refined as rivals such as the aforementioned CR-V, the Mazda CX-5, the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Rogue. It’s got more character, though, and that’s one of the things that make it the black sheep of its segment. For people who like to live outdoors and need a vehicle to bring off the beaten path, the Subie is tough to beat. However, if running errands and picking up the kids at daycare is the toughest tasks we’ll ask our compact SUV to do, there are more suitable choices on the market — being the ones we just mentioned above.

Trump’s limo enters museum THE CANADIAN PRESS

VOLO, Ill. — A northern Illinois auto museum’s latest acquisition is a 1988 Cadillac limousine once owned by U.S. President Donald Trump. Director Brian Grams said the Volo Auto Museum isn’t “making a political statement’’ by displaying the vehicle, which features gold-plated and rosewood interior embellishments. He said the museum displays rare cars with interesting backstories, noting the Trump limo “certainly checks that box.’’ Grams said the limo was built to be an office on wheels with a fax machine, TV, VCR, three telephones and a paper shredder. It also has an electric bar. Grams said he found the car in private ownership and plans to feature it in the museum’s Cars of the Rich and Famous exhibit. The museum is about 45 miles northwest of downtown Chicago and has a 400-vehicle collection.

might not be rev-happy, but at least it’s efficient. On the other hand, consumption rises noticeably with the sixspeed manual, with city/ highway ratings of 10.2 / 8.2 L/100 km.

Prospects aiming to impress in Blue-White intrasquad game MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

or the average Kamloops Blazers’ fan, the Blue vs. White intrasquad game on Tuesday might not be required viewing, of note only because it signals meaningful WHL hockey is just around the corner. The hardcore fan will show up to get a look at the future. Game time is 7 p.m. at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Tickets are $6. Several 2002-born players drafted this year by the local major junior hockey club have turned heads throughout rookie and main camps, each knowing the intrasquad scrimmage is likely to be their last chance to make an impression before they pack their bags and head home. Blazers’ director of player personnel Matt Recchi was asked for thoughts on a few of them: • F Josh Pillar, Round 1, 14th overall . . . “Just as he always has, Josh has used his competitiveness, speed and desire to get pucks and make a difference every shift. That’s what he did at rookie camp and continued to do at main camp.” • D Trevor Thurston, Round 4, 81st overall . . . “He’s a real hard-to-play-against defenceman. He keeps the game simple. He plays real hard and assertive. He’s been jumping up a little bit, has a heavy shot and he’s going to be a guy that other players do not want to play against.” • D Ethan Branwood, Round 7, 146th overall . . . “He makes a real good first pass, moves the puck extremely well

and has some offensive upside and shows great leadership qualities. He played in a small association in Saanich, but he’s made great strides every time we see him.” • F Riley Ginnell, Round 7, 151st overall . . . “He has been phenomenal. He’s a tall, lanky forward. All he has done is score. He finds a way to get to the net, get to pucks. He seems to be a magnet to the puck. He’s got a great release.” Each of the aforementioned players are expected to play on Tuesday, along with three fellow 2002-born draftees, each of them forwards — Jarrod Semchuk, a local product, Reese Belton and Daylan Kuefler. Recchi also made mention of a pair of 2002-born players who will not be in the lineup. • G Dylan Garand, Round 3, 58th overall . . . “We believe this Dylan is an elite goalie. He’s shown it the entire week, including at goalie camp.

He’s got tremendous feet and hands and has a good mind for the game.” • F Josh Doan, Round 9, 190th overall . . . “He’s a very intelligent player, a guy that has a lot of skill and really good hockey sense and is very competitive. The only thing Josh doesn’t have right now is size. He’s in the mould of a Garrett Pilon at the same age, a very small, undersized guy. We know he’s going to grow, but when that’s going to happen we don’t know.” Forward Ethan Ironside and defenceman Noah Kuntz, also drafted this year, are not available to play in the BlueWhite game. Kamloops trimmed its roster to 41 players from 62 after the final main-camp scrimmage on Monday. More cuts will be made on Tuesday night, with most of the 15-year-old players expected to be sent home. Pillar is the only 2002-born

draftee likely to see action in the pre-season. Jostling for roster spots will intensify when the preseason begins, with Kamloops opening the exhibition slate against the Victoria Royals at McArthur Island on Friday. “The Blue-White game is a good scrimmage,” Recchi said. “We’re down to our top 40. It’ll be a high-paced, energetic scrimmage. “It’s going to be when we get down to short strokes, get on the road and get into exhibition when players are going to step up. Their play through pre-season will determine who stays and who doesn’t.” The Blazers are expected to return home to Sandman Centre some time after Sept. 6, so long as no new wildfires flare up in the region. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has been using the Mark Recchi Way edifice to house wildfire evacuees.

Catharine Pendrel of Kamloops placed 12th at the final UCI World Cup cross-country Olympic elite women’s mountain bike race of the season in Val di Sole, Italy, on the weekend. Jolanda Neff of Switzerland won in a time of 1:26:58. Yana Belomoina of Ukraine was second, capping an excellent World Cup season that saw her run away with the overall title. Pendrel finished three minutes and 54 seconds behind Neff after falling off the pace about halfway through the race. The 36-year-old Clif Pro team member has been unable to find the form and consistency that led her to the overall World Cup title

and a bronze medal at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio last year, but she can still make 2017 a memorable campaign with a strong finish at the world championship in Cairns, Australia, on Sept. 9. It is not likely Pendrel will be ranked among the top eight riders in the world heading into the world championship, meaning she is not expected to have a front-row starting position. Pendrel, who was ranked ninth in the world heading into Val di Sole, finished 12th in the overall World Cup standings. Her best World Cup finish of the campaign came in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, on July 9, when she placed third. COMMUNITY PARTNER:

Over 4.8 billion Google searches are performed by Canadians every month. According to ComScore over 62% of these searches are done via mobile phones. Since mobile search is so prominent with local intent, it’s valuable to understand how effective local advertising is to your business. Mobile ads are a strong part in driving search traffic to local websites. Many business owners are unaware of their ability to track potential customers. In order to track traffic and prospects you must have analytics set up on your website. I guess the next question is, do you have a website? If so, is it

mobile friendly and responsive?

Perhaps your business needs a health check? A big part of my role as a Digital Marketing Strategist is to help businesses identify goals and develop strategy to create their digital footprint. If your business holds a Facebook page with a most recent post from September 2011 and a website lagging on speed without mobile capability, I would like to hear from you!

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Vancouver Whitecaps left Florida drained and tired, but with another crucial victory. Brek Shea scored the winner against his former Orlando City teammates in Vancouver’s 2-1 victory on Saturday night. It was the Whitecaps’ third game in eight days. “I’m exhausted and I didn’t play,’’ Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson said. “So every one of them in there deserves a huge pat on the back because we had a travel day from hell two days ago. Obviously, we were a lot bit tired yesterday. “We were battered and bruised after a tough game Wednesday night against our neighbours [Seattle]. [The players] deserve a lot of credit.’’ Erik Hurtado gathered in a turnover at midfield and turned upfield before feeding the ball left to Shea, who was traded to Vancouver before the season. Shea dribbled in and chipped the ball over Joe Bendik in the 53rd minute for his third goal. Shea said that the experience of returning to play his former club was overwhelming. “It’s a place that I’ve only been

for two years, but it felt like forever,’’ he said. “I love the fans, the city and the organization. It sucked when I left, but I’m in a new home, I’m happy and, like I said, I was happy to be back.’’ The win moved the Whitecaps into a tie with Houston for fourth place in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference. Vancouver (11-9-5), which leads the league in set-piece goals, opened the scoring in the ninth minute when Nicolas Mezquida’s long free kick went in off Orlando defender Tommy Redding’s head. The Whitecaps had made nine changes to its lineup that drew the Seattle Sounders 1-1 on Wednesday night at B.C. Place Stadium. After coming on at halftime, Cyle Larin put Orlando on the board with his 10th goal, heading home a cross from Yoshimar Yotun in the 62nd minute. Orlando (8-11-7), which controlled over 70 per cent possession, is winless in its last six home games and is five points below the playoff line. The Whitecaps get a weekend off due to the FIFA international break before returning to host Real Salt Lake on Sept. 9.

BELFAST, Ireland — Julianne Zussman and Elissa Alarie scored two tries apiece to lift Canada to a 43-12 victory over Australia on Saturday and a fifth-place finish at the Women’s Rugby World Cup. Canada missed the Cup semifinals, but ended the tournament with just one loss against finalist and No. 1-ranked New Zealand. “That was a fun one to play,’’ captain Kelly Russell said. “We want to play with high tempo. We want to use the width of the field and use our speed and we did that today. “The heart was amazing all throughout the tournament.’’ Russell, Amanda Thornborough and Karen Paquin all scored tries, while Brianna Miller and Andrea Burk connected on two conversions apiece. Canada came into the tournament ranked third in the world and finished runner-up to England in the 2014 World Cup. The Canadians

roared out to 98-0 rout of Hong Kong in their opening game and followed with a 15-0 victory over Wales. But their hopes of a second straight World Cup medal were dashed after ending the preliminary round with a 48-5 loss to powerhouse New Zealand. Saturday’s game marked the final match with head coach Francois Ratier at the helm. Ratier took over as head coach in 2013, leading Canada into each of the last two World Cups. “Francois has been amazing for women’s rugby in Canada, building us to where we are,’’ Russel said. “I’m also just so proud to play with every one of these girls and the support from the Canadians here and back home has been absolutely amazing.’’ Alarie finished the tournament with six tries, tying Magalie Harvey for the team lead. New Zealand restored its supremacy in women’s rugby by relieving England of the World Cup by 41-32 in the final on Saturday.

Burfict suspended JOE KAY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — Linebacker Vontaze Burfict missed the first three games last season because of his hit to Antonio Brown’s head in the playoffs. He’ll miss the first five this season thanks to another rattling hit, this time during a preseason game. The NFL has suspended the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive leader for levelling a Chiefs running back in violation of its player safety rules, the latest in Burfict’s history of egregious hits that have drawn fines and suspensions. Burfict hit running back Anthony Sherman in the chest this month during a pass play in which he was not the intended receiver, knocking him to the ground. The NFL has been cracking down on such hits as part of its emphasis on player safety. Burfict was suspended for his hit to Antonio Brown’s head on an incomplete pass during a firstround playoff game in the 2015 season. The resulting personal foul moved the Steelers into field goal range in the closing seconds for an 18-16 victory. The Bengals released a statement defending Burfict in the face of his latest punishment. “The film shows that the hit was legal, that Vontaze engaged his opponent from the front, and that contact was shoulder-to-chest,’’ the statement said.

After a few shaky performances from Jonathon Jennings, B.C. Lions’ head coach and general manager Wally Buono said Travis Lulay will start against the Montreal Alouettes at B.C. Place Stadium on Sept. 8

Lulay gets the nod THE CANADIAN PRESS

When the B.C. Lions return to action Sept. 8 hosting the Montreal Alouettes, it will be with veteran Travis Lulay as their starter. Head coach/GM Wally Buono handed the starting job to Lulay following B.C.’s 31-24 road loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday. Lulay replaced Jonathon Jennings and nearly erased a 31-3 fourth-quarter deficit before throwing an interception with under two minutes remaining that ended the Lions’ comeback bid.

Lulay finished 18-of-23 passing for 202 yards and two TDs to go with the interception after Jennings completed 10-of-17 attempts for 137 yards and an interception. B.C. (5-5) has dropped three straight and four of its last five games to fall to fourth in the West Division, just two points ahead of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (4-4), who’ve won two straight. “We can’t afford any more mulligans,’’ Buono said. “We have eight games left. “We put ourselves in a tough position. We need to regroup, we need to play a lot better football and we need to make sure we win some games.’’

Browns going with Kizer TOM, WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEREA, Ohio — They’ve come and gone, some faster than others. Rookies, free agents, recycled veterans and career backups all have had their shot starting at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns over the past 18 seasons. From Tim Couch to Jeff Garcia to Derek Anderson to Brady Quinn to Colt McCoy to Johnny Manziel . . . there have been 26 QBs since 1999. Not one has stayed around long enough to change the franchise’s fortunes. Coach Hue Jackson believes rookie

A19

DeShone Kizer — No. 27 — could be the one. In fact, he’s betting on it. “We’re going to make this happen,’’ Jackson said Monday, less than 24 hours after announcing Kizer as his starter for 2017. “We’re going to work through this because I think he’s talented. I think this guy has the right stuff. If I’m worth my salt as a coach, I will get it out of him — and, if he’s willing to do the work — he’ll rise to the occasion, and I think he will.’’ The Browns are all in with Kizer, who was consistent in practice and made more big plays in the exhibitions to beat out veterans Brock Osweiler and Cody Kessler.

The 21-year-old will start Cleveland’s opener on Sept. 10 against Pittsburgh and Jackson promised he’ll stick with the former Notre Dame starter as long as necessary. Jackson, who went 1-15 in his first season with Cleveland, bristled when asked if he had any apprehension playing a rookie quarterback. “Why?’’ he said. “I’ve been down this road before. I didn’t make a decision to make him the quarterback because I had fear in it or not know how it’s going to unfold. I have a vision for it. It might not go that way. If it does, great. If it doesn’t, we keep working through it.’’

Even on their bye week, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are managing to create controversy. The Ticats touched off a media firestorm Monday by announcing Art Briles will join new head coach June Jones’ staff as an assistant offence head coach. Briles, 61, was fired in May 2016 as Baylor’s head football coach after an investigation discovered the school mishandled numerous sexual assault allegations, including some against football players. Briles’ appointment drew plenty of criticism on social media, including from Theo Fleury, the former NHL star who was sexually abused by his junior coach, Graham James. “If you knew and didn’t say anything then you are just as much a part of rape as the people who committed rape. Shame on #CFL,’’ Fleury tweeted. Many other people urged CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie to step in and void Briles’ hiring. But there was no comment on the move from the league Monday. The Ticats didn’t mention the circumstances of Briles’ firing from Baylor in their release. And there were no comments regard-

ing the hire from Jones, vice-president of football operations Kent Austin or owner Bob Young. Scott Mitchell, the Ticats’ CEO, didn’t immediately return a telephone message. But Mitchell told 3DownNation, a football blog, that both Young and the CFL were well aware of Hamilton’s intention to hire Briles and the organization has no intention of rescinding the move. “This is about giving someone a second chance and we’re committed to doing that,’’ Mitchell said. “For every reaction that you’re getting from social media and media, there’s a tremendous amount of support behind the scenes for a tough decision. “I think a lot of people in this world,

Lindros, Ratelle to have numbers retired THE CANADIAN PRESS

New York Rangers’ Hall of Famer Jean Ratelle will finally get his No. 19 raised to the rafters at Madison Square Garden, the same season Eric Lindros will have his No. 88 retired by the Philadelphia Flyers. Lindros will take another step toward rebuilding his relationship with the Flyers when he’s honoured before their Jan. 18 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ratelle will have his night Feb. 25 before the Rangers face the Detroit Red Wings. Ratelle, who played parts of 16 of his 21 NHL seasons with the Rangers, entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985 and is second on their franchise goals list with 336 and third in assists with 481 and points with 817.

including myself, have made bad decisions and have regrets and I certainly feel strongly that in this case, Art Briles deserves a second opportunity.’’ What’s more, the Ticats announced the hiring of Briles on the same day as they were scheduled to host a women’s football clinic. Jones and Briles were scheduled to meet with reporters Tuesday afternoon. Barry’s Jewellers Ltd., one of the Ticats sponsors, denounced the hiring of Briles. “We strongly condemn and urge the team’s management and ownership to immediately sever any ties they may have,’’ the sponsor said in a statement. “Mr. Briles may or may not have a valid coaching track record, but to choose the chance of winning football over the

importance of values goes beyond our core values and is absolutely not acceptable.’’ The jewelry retailer said it will be donating a portion of its sales over the next two months to the Sexual Assault Centre of Hamilton. Briles accumulated a 99-65 overall record as an NCAA head coach at Houston (2003-2007) and Baylor (2008-2015). He guided the Bears to Big 12 championships in 2013 and 2014 and coached the program’s only Heisman winner, quarterback Robert Griffin III who ironically is on Hamilton’s negotiation list. The hiring of Briles comes at a time when the CFL is riding high on its wildly successful Diversity is Strength campaign. In fact, Ambrosie even spoke to CNN about the program, which was originally scheduled for launch this fall but was moved ahead following the violent protests in Charlottesville, Va., earlier this month. Hamilton (0-8) is the CFL’s only winless team. Last week, Austin relinquished headcoaching duties and promoted Jones to that post. Jones joined the Ticats following their embarrassing 60-1 road loss to the Calgary Stampeders on July 29.

Shapovalov advances THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov cruised into the second round of the U.S. Open with a 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 win over Russia’s Daniil Medvedev on Monday. Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont., won the match in one hour 36 minutes to continue his impressive summer that saw him reach the semifinals of the Rogers Cup in Montreal. Shapovalov con-

verted his seventh break point to take a 5-2 lead in the third set. Serving for the match, Shapovalov converted on his first match point opportunity by firing his sixth ace of the match past Medvedev. The 18-year-old lefthander committed just two double-faults to Medvedev’s eight, and won points on 72 per cent of his first serves. Shapovalov, playing in his first U.S. Open, next faces eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Driving home need to be more aware next week

olidays are almost over and yellow school buses kids walking, cycling or being dropped off at school will soon be commons sights. With summer in the rearview mirror, it’s time for drivers to gear up for back to school safety. To help with the transition, the RCMP and Public Safety Canada have provided the following safety tips and reminders to help everyone stay safe on the road this school year. • Sharing the road with young pedestrians: Slow down. Children crossing the road on their way to and from school can easily get distracted and step into harm’s way. Children are often out throughout the day at recess,

lunch, and for outdoor activities, so it’s important to drive

slowly throughout the entire day. • That text can wait:

Drivers need to be vigilant and alert behind the wheel. Your fast

yellow or amber lights means a bus is slowing down to stop and you should do the same. A school bus with red lights flashing is stopped. If you are following behind a bus, stay back farther than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop if the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. The area three metres around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus.

reflexes could prevent an accident. • Don’t block the crosswalk: When stopped at a red light or waiting to make a turn, do not block the crosswalk. This way, you could force pedestrians to go around you; putting them in the path of moving traffic. • Take extra care: Drivers must take extra care to look out for children near playgrounds and parks and in all residential areas • Sharing the road with school buses: Alternating flashing

Must-knows for kids

• Before crossing the road, point across the road to show drivers you want to cross. Pause until the cars stop and you make eye contact with the

drivers. Proceed with your arm extended after all cars in all the lanes have stopped. • Distracted pedestrians are a higher risk, so do not use electronics while walking • No helmet — no bike. Always wear a helmet when riding a bike.

Do’s and don’ts of dropping off

• Most schools have very specific dropoff procedures and it’s your job to make sure you know them. These rules apply in all school zones: • Don’t double park; it blocks visibility for other children and vehicles; • Don’t load or unload children across the street from the school; • Don’t idle vehicles for air quality concerns; • Do try to carpool.

Tips to ease your child’s anxiety Next week, children and youth will say hello to a new school year. For many, it’s an exciting time, but the change in routine can give some kids back-to-school jitters. Meeting new teachers, worrying about where to sit at lunch and wondering if they have classes with friends are common sources of anxiety for students of all ages, all the way from preschool to high school. “Children and youth can build up a lot of stress and anxiety about having to get back into a routine and what to expect when the new school year begins,” said Dr. Susan Baer, psychiatrist in the Mood and Anxiety Disorders clinic at BC Children’s Hospital. “These feelings are normal and there are steps parents can take now to help ease the transition from summer break to the new school year.” Baer recommends parents plan ahead and gradually expose kids to their new schedule.

50% OFF

Tips for parents and caregivers: • Get into a routine before school starts: plan nutritious meals and snacks as well as morning/bedtime habits; • Talk to your child about what may be worrying them: try role-playing through situations they may face at school; • Plan for transitions, including getting to school and returning to school after vacations; • Throughout the school year, encourage your child to share his or her fears by setting up a regular time to talk; • Help your child develop healthy coping and problem-solving skills; • Be mindful of your own behaviour — model confidence and comfort when your child is anxious; • Focus on the positive and celebrate small accomplishments. Consider seeking more help if your child does the following: • Frequent attempts to remain at home or with a

caregiver; • Refuses to attend school on certain days (field trips); • Refuses to eat in public; • Refuses to use public bathrooms; • Worries constantly; • Continually seeks comfort and reassurance; • Shows extreme shyness, avoiding social situations or events; • Raises physical complaints with no medical explanation (stomach aches, headaches, difficulty catching his or her breath); • Throws tantrums, cries or screams excessively; • Begins to act in a way that is out of character. There are many resources for children, youth, young adults and parents, including: • Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre: A provincial resource centre that provides mental health and substance use information, resources and peer support to children, youth and their families from across B.C.; • Breathr Mindfulness App: an app designed to

September draws near and, while parents are getting the little ones prepared for another exciting year, it’s also time for big kids to gear up for another semester at post-secondary institutions. The Better Business Bureau has some scams to be wary of as students head back to campus: • Roommate/rental scheme: If you post an ad online for a roommate, beware of fake roommates who are out of the country, but can provide the rent upfront in the form of a money order. When you receive it, the amount is higher than the amount requested. You are asked to cash it and wire back the rest. • Employment: Beware of ads that pop up near campus offering jobs with no experience necessary. Often, these “opportunities” are bogus. They could be another cheque-cashing scheme. If you are interviewed at all or in a hotel lobby and have to pay for everything, including training, travel, lodging, food, etc. associated with the job, forget it. Check out a company first at bbb.org. If you didn’t get an interview, you didn’t get a job. • Online shopping deals: You see a much-wanted item for a steep discount online, one you could not usually afford. The catch? The site asks you to wire payment to them instead of

using a credit card, which is a huge red flag. Once the money is sent, the item is never received. • Cheating supplies: Students can find term papers and test questions and answers, but universities are increasingly using new software like Turnitin, fake websites and spy cameras to track down dishonest students. Don’t cheat yourself out of learning. • Illegal downloads: It may be tempting to save money by downloading free music, movies or textbooks, but many contain spyware that can end up causing financial havoc. Here are a few other ploys: • Credit cards: While it is important to build credit, it is more important to maintain good credit. Many of these cards have annual fees or charge high-interest rates on purchases. Shop around for the best rate and pay off your credit card bills every month. • Trial offers: From fitness club memberships to magazine subscrip-

tions to acne medicine, diet pills, or free DVDs and CDs and downloads, know how much these products and services are going to cost you once the free trial offer expires. Always read the fine print and don’t get roped into something you don’t want or can’t afford. • Safeguard your ID: Keep your personal information, including your driver’s licence, student ID, debit cards, credit cards, and bank information in a safe place. Be wary of any online solicitations, emails, social media sites or phone calls asking for your personal information. Never give out personal information to someone you do not know. • Social Insurance Number: Do not carry your Social Insurance Number around with you. Keep it locked in a safe place at home. If your school requires your SIN, ask plenty of questions. How is the information stored? Who has access to it? For what is it being used?

Obituaries & In Memoriam James Adam Weisbeck

Adrien Gwynne Gilmore June 24, 1924 - August 17, 2017

‘Gil’ was born on Battle Street in Kamloops, BC. He served in the Signal Corps overseas in Africa and Italy during WWII. After returning to Vancouver he met and married Pearl Little, his wife of 55 years. He got a degree in social work at UBC. After that they moved to Royal Oak in Saanich and raised a family. Lloyd, Wayne, Shannon and Colleen grew up on two hobby farms, first at Royal Oak-later in North Saanich. Two Jersey cows and various birds were the norm. Gil worked as a BC Government employee and retiring in 1984. He then became a volunteer fire fighter with the Sidney Fire Department for 11 years. They frequented both, Lund and Kilshaw auctions in Victoria. They moved to Parksville in 1991 and Gil became involved with amateur radio. His wife Pearl predeceased him in 2003. He volunteered for the Qualicum Museum and Salvation Army Kettle Drive and was part of the Legion Colour Party for Remembrance Day each year. His lived his final months at the Nanaimo Seniors Village, where he received the best treatment and care, thanks to the exemplary staff there. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at the Parksville Legion 49.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of James Adam Weisbeck on August 16, 2017. He passed away at home at the age of 31. James was born on May 27, 1986 in Kelowna. He lived his life as care free and drama free as possible. He was well known to be quite the artist in the kitchen, as he had a natural talent when it came to cooking and cultivating herbs. One of his favorite things to do was preparing “epic meal times” for his friends. He was also very passionate about the outdoors, pursuing mountain biking, kayaking, camping, or whatever kind of trouble he could find as long as he was with his friends. He had a large and caring heart and has performed several random acts of kindness towards strangers throughout the years. He did not believe in getting hung up on what someone did or didn’t have, but rather was just happy being in the moment. James got along with anyone, but has always held his loved ones close to his heart and always made time for them. James had a love for metal music. So much in fact, he created a page on YouTube (multi-level metal) in order to ask bands for permission to upload his favorite songs and help those artists promote their music. He was the shining light in many of our lives and will be dearly missed. Left to honour and remember James’s memory is his loving Common-law partner Vanessa Hyson, Son Joseph Weisbeck and his Mother Michelle Weisbeck, Mother Maria Weisbeck, Grandma Roxanne Derrick, Uncles David Luggar, Steve Luggar and Mike Palmer, Brother Mike Weisbeck, his wife Charlene and niece Addison, Doug, Patty, Regan and his closest friends Tyler Nelson, Erik Heppner, Kevin Erichuk, Nathan Green, Brad Maio, Steve MacLennan, Mary-Jane McLachlan and Christina Bagg. We invite James’ family and friends to join in a Celebration of Life on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at 11:00 am at 3212 Archibald Crescent. Those who so desire to make a memorial donation to his son Joseph Weisbeck’s education fund in James’s memory can be brought or sent to 3212 Archibald Cresecent.

She is also survived by seven half siblings Elaine Burke (Ken), Samuel Molyneaux (Marlene), Lorraine Molyneaux, Kenneth Molyneaux (Bonnie), Stacy Molyneaux (Jennifer), Scott Molyneaux (Christine) and Lisa Savard (Marc). Her interests included travel, cooking, reading and over the past years her time spent as a hospice patient volunteer, most recently in Kamloops, BC where she put down her roots and truly felt at home. Cathy will be sorely missed by many more family and friends who lived, laughed and loved with her. Many thanks and hugs go to the amazing Dr. Farren and caring staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. A Celebration of Life for Cathy will be held at Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at 11:00 am.

Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

HOROSCOPES

AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2017

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, change is afoot, but there is no use trying to cling to the past. Look to the future and find a way to embrace the changes and challenges that lie ahead.

Taurus, beneath that cool, calm and collected exterior beats the heart of someone who may be looking for adventure from time to time. Let others see your wild side this week.

It is hard for you to respond when people do not play by the rules, Libra. Do not let their activities ruin your week. Continue to follow your own path.

Scorpio, no matter how many times you run through the details of a specific situation, you still will come up with questions. Work them out until you feel confident.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Gemini, you can think of plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t take chances this week, but somehow you are compelled to take risks. Just be careful who you involve.

Your shift with regard to motivation is quite evident this week, Cancer. Others notice this change in attitude and are willing to come on board to support you further.

Something big is on the horizon and you are getting very excited about it, Sagittarius. The wait will soon be over and you can enjoy yourself fully. Try to remain patient a little while longer.

Sticking to your safety zone has done you well, Capricorn. But sometimes you need to step outside of the boundaries for a new perspective. Don’t let apprehension hold you back.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Leo, an exciting announcement makes it difficult to maintain your composure over the next few days, but give it your best shot. Look at it as a challenge that needs to be met.

Virgo, you are usually quick to catch on and can easily read between the lines of a situation. Put this skill to use in an important business meeting in the coming days.

STATISTICS ABUSE

Is it significant if 52.4% of cases meet a criterion?

Obviously, 524 cases out of 1000 would be 52.4%, but the numbers could be lower. They could be 262 out of 500 or even 131 out of 250. If you allow for rounding, it might be that a far lower number of cases meeting the criterion can be reported as 52.4%. If you round to the nearest 0.1%, what is the lowest number of cases out of total cases that can be reported as 52.4%? (52.4% seems so precise and “scientific,” but it is actually an abuse of statistics to report three digits of precision when one has fewer than 1,000 cases total. This puzzle will show you how bad it can get; the numbers come from an article I read.)

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S (AUGUST 22) WORD POINTS PUZZLE: Each consonant is worth 3, vowel letter group 2 and Y 1 point. A vowel letter group is one or more letters of A, E, I, O and U that are consecutive.Y is considered neither a consonant nor a vowel.

Aquarius, a packed calendar feels stifling right now. It’s good to have a solid social network, but not if it comes at the expense of free time. See what you can clear from your schedule.

There is more to living than adhering to career goals, Pisces. Find ways to schedule more activities that bring you happiness.
