Shopping cart squabble pits businesses, police against homeless Mounties have seized dozens of buggies from homeless people in recent months JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ichael O’Shea found his shopping cart abandoned in an alley in Kamloops. It’s the fourth cart he has pushed around the city, where he has lived on the streets for 12 or 13 years. O’Shea uses a buggy to carry personal belongings and bottles and is known around town, recognizable for his long hair and inspirational and biblical messages attached to his cart, as well as his positive demeanour. “I try not to base my happiness on my circumstance,” O’Shea said. “There are always going to be good times and bad times.” The well-known and muchloved homeless man is at the centre of a polarizing discussion about poverty in Kamloops. Pitting businesses and the city versus the marginalized, O’Shea is the face of a situation that led to police seizing 33 shopping carts

from homeless people. It all started earlier this week, when 48-year-old Kamloops resident Treena Maldidier took to Facebook. She learned O’Shea was con-

cerned about a crackdown on stolen buggies among the marginalized. O’Shea told KTW that bylaws and RCMP have been “very good” to him in the past, but he was

frightened upon hearing of others who had had their shopping carts seized. He hid, pushing his cart down back alleys in attempts to avoid police and bylaws.

SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the province’s worst wildfire seasons on record is slowly winding down, as signs emerging each day point toward the end of a series of fires that have destroyed property and scarred more than one million hectares of land across B.C. A number of evacuation orders have been rescinded to alerts and some residents have also been given the all-clear to return home, but it’s now becoming clear how much has been lost to the fires. A total of 234 structures were destroyed or damaged from the Elephant Hill fire, the Martin Mountain fire near Monte Lake and the Little Fort complex fire, according to data released Tuesday by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The Little Fort fires destroyed one residence and three other Proudly presented by

buildings, while the Martin Mountain fire destroyed one residence and caused minor damage to an outbuilding. But it was the Elephant Hill fire, the behemoth 192,000-hectare blaze that stretches 93 kilometres from Ashcroft to the edge of Sheridan Lake, that caused most of the damage. The biggest loss came early when the fire ripped through the Boston Flats trailer park north of Ashcroft, causing the loss of 45 residences on July 7. The next major loss came one week later at Loon Lake, 32 kilometres to the north, where 40 residences, 32 other buildings and the Loon Lake fire hall were lost when the fire saw dramatic growth over the weekend of July 15. Another 30 kilometres north and one month later, another 33 residences and 24 other buildings were destroyed at Pressy Lake.

Other losses include three residences at Hihium Lake, three more on French Road and two in the Village of Cache Creek. Young Lake lost five non-residence structures. All told, 132 residences, 82 other structures and four institutional structures were lost to the three fires in the TNRD and another 19 received minor damage. “Other” buildings might include outbuildings like garages, sheds or farm buildings, while “institutional” buildings refer to things like fire halls and municipal or government structures. The TNRD also said a number of important infrastructure features including hydro and telecommunications were lost, but are not included in these figures. While activity on the Elephant Hill fire has quieted with the changing weather, crews will still be working on fire mop-up and

danger trees. The fire still has more than 400 personnel on site, and while Kevin Skrepnek, chief fire information officer with the B.C. Wildfire Service, says that the fire is much less volatile and conditions have improved, there are still risks of flare-up. “The dryness we’re still seeing in some of the deeper levels of the forest floor in some areas — unprecedented how dry it is in those layers,” Skrepnek said. There are also signs of the season winding down from an emergency management point of view. Emergency social services at the Sandman were cut down to one day this week, with further hours to be evaluated later. Additionally, Emergency Management B.C. executive director Chris Duffy indicated Wednesday that the provincial state of emergency would likely end Friday.

• Power of Attorney, Rep. Agreements and Joint Ownership. Which planning tool will help your family the most?

A wading pool planned for McDonald Park will be up for debate once again at city hall. At Tuesday’s regular council meeting, Coun. Donovan Cavers quizzed staff on its cost estimates to add a promised wading feature to a spray park opened in 2016. “My big concern is when those discussions were happening the neighbourhood received a commitment from council they were going to get a wading pool and a spray park,” he said. As KTW has previous reported, parks and recreation director Byron McCorkell said cost estimates to chlorinate the park sit at about $600,000. “Basically we put this in the hands of our design team to do what we would need to do, and that’s what they’ve come back with,” said McCorkell, when questioned about the cost. McCorkell also clarified what staff Interior Health would require at the pool — not lifeguards, but staff to monitor chlorine levels every two hours to make sure the pool is meeting water quality standards. Interim mayor Arjun Singh suggested staff bring a full cost breakdown on the wading pool forward as part of the supplemental item list given to council for its 2018 budget process. The list includes a variety of new spending which will be debated and voted on early next year.

Wildlife Watching in Bc:

What to see in the fall By Michelle Pentz Glave Provided By destination BC

Canada is wildlife central, and British Columbia arguably has the most diverse species on offer, from green herons and grizzly bears to orcas and trumpeter swans. Fall is a wonderful time to watch wildlife because it’s not too hot, the aspens have just started accenting the evergreen forest with yellow and gold, and the air takes on an inviting crispness. Just be sure to keep your distance from wildlife — 30 m (98 ft) minimum, and even further, at least 100 m (328 ft), from predators such as bears. Go wildlife watching early or at dusk when animals are the most active. Here are some of the top spots to see BC’s incredible critters. Grizzlies on the Coast of the Great Bear Rainforest Autumn is peak grizzly season on the wild west coast, and fly-in Knight Inlet Lodge is a great place to see them. The Glendale Cove

area has one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in the province. Situated 80 km (50 mi) north of Campbell River, the conservation-minded lodge focuses on safe viewing in the bears’ natural environment. You might see some of the 50 grizzly and black bears feasting on salmon within a 10-km (6-mi) radius of the floating wilderness resort, which is specially designed for optimal animal observation. You can also go sea kayaking along the pristine rainforest coast, take a marine wildlife tour, and whale watch until mid-October. Pack a zoom lens!

see all five Pacific salmon species, too, on the 1,375-km (850-mi)-long waterway. If you’ve never seen the battered, crimson-hued fish fighting their way upstream, especially when they get to the shallow northern streams at the end, it’s a stirring sight. And of course, the spent carcasses attract hungry bears, eagles, and gulls by the thousands. If you want to learn more, visit one of the hatcheries near Vancouver: Chilliwack River Hatchery, Abbotsford’s Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery (which also has steelhead and cutthroat), or the Capilano Salmon Hatchery in North Vancouver.

salmon in the Fraser River, near Vancouver The story is iconic: wild salmon begin the arduous journey from the ocean back to where they were born, to spawn at the main stem of the Fraser River each year from late September to early November. It’s one of the planet’s largest salmon runs. You can

BiGhorn sheep in Radium Hot Springs, Kootenay National Park You can see bighorn sheep in spring and summer in the Kootenay Rockies at Radium Hot Springs, but the real drama unfolds in fall: rutting season, October into November. That’s when the rams of the 140-strong herd convene

in town and start clashing, literally, for hours at a time in competition to win female attention. The 300-lb (140 kg) bachelors taunt, kick, and then charge each other at 35 kph (22 mph), rising on their hind legs to bash each other’s 30-lb (14-kg) horns with incredible force. The sound? Like a sledgehammer—so loud you can hear the crack a mile away. In early November, there’s a two-day Headbanger Festival with tours and seminars showcasing the annual event. After the show, soak in Canada’s largest natural mineral hot springs. moose in Prince George, Northern BC Moose? You’ll want to head to Prince George, home to the highest density of these hooved giants in North America. In fact, 70% of the province’s moose live in Northern BC. Grown

bulls with impressive sets of velvety antlers stand some 6.5-ft (2-m) tall and might weigh 1,100 lbs (500 kg). Late fall is rutting season when the usually solitary ungulates gather in groups of eight to 10 and lock horns. Listen for the cows’ loud, moaning call designed to lure a mate, and take care because moose can be aggressive at this time of year. Look for moose in clearings and valleys; they prefer open spaces with plenty of shrubs and brush to munch on and marshy areas surrounding lakes, and are easiest to find in the early morning. Try either Highway 97 from Pine Pass to Old Friend Creek or Highway 16 from Prince George to Valemount in the southern Rocky Mountain Trench. Another option is canoeing the Crooked River just north of town or in Bowron Lake Provincial Park.

TEACH STUDENTS WHEN AND HOW

chools, above all, should be looking forward, not trying to hold back progress. So it seems strange schools in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are attempting to block students’ access to social media sites like Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram, along with Netflix. We say attempt because this ill thought-out policy was doomed from the start. Even if students were unlikely to find a way around the block, they would just switch to using data on their phones. For that matter, they would switch to another of myriad social media channels. It’s like the story of the boy with his finger in the dyke trying to hold back the flood. Except in this case, more holes are appearing all the time. On the other hand, educators in those schools should do just that: educate. Social media, instant access to information and all other things that come with living in the Information Age are an integral part of students’ lives. There are many things, however, they need to learn. Not using social media while a teacher is speaking to a class should be a basic rule, just like not passing notes. The solution to passing notes wasn’t banning paper. It’s certainly reasonable for teachers to require students to put devices away when they aren’t required in class, but we have to question whether schools have the right to deny students access when they aren’t in class. Recess, lunch and other breaks are students’ own time, the same as when they leave school grounds. Having a policy like this carries with it the implication something is wrong with using social media. That’s not a message educational institutions should be sending. Even if it is only for five hours of the school day, there is no point trying to turn the clock back. The way forward is not to say no, but to teach when and how. – Penticton Western News

Car community of the future

rance and the United Kingdom recently announced they will ban the sales of gasoline and diesel-engined cars

from 2040. The lower house of the Dutch parliament passed a law banning such sales from 2025. India says it will institute a similar ban by 2030. China, the world’s largest producer of cars — 28 million vehicles last year, more than the United States, Japan and Germany combined — is also planning to declare a ban soon, but is still working on the cutoff date. And in November, the European Commission is going to debate a minimum annual quota of electric vehicles (EVs) for all European car producers. So if you were looking for a safe place for a long-term investment, would you choose the oil industry? Just over half of the 98 million barrels of oil produced in the world each day goes directly to making gasoline, used almost exclusively in motor vehicles. Another 15 per cent goes to make “distillate fuel oil”, of which at least half is diesel fuel. So about 58 per cent of total world oil production is being used in vehicles now. There may be almost none in 35 years’ time. That is certainly the intention of many governments. Britain, for example, is planning to allow only zero-emission vehicles on the road (apart form a few specially-licensed vintage cars) by 2050, only 10 years after the ban on selling new cars with internal combustion engines comes into affect. So the production of gasoline — or diesel-engined cars will already have collapsed by the late 2030s.

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH In practice, if these deadlines are observed, the cars on sale will be almost entirely EVs by the mid-2030s. And what’s left of the oil industry will have a very different shape. All this is good news for the environment and for the health of people who live in large cities. (No wonder China is the leading EV producer in the world, with 40 per cent of global production. Pollution is already making most of its cities almost uninhabitable.) But the revolution doesn’t end here: most, and eventually all of these EVs will be self-driving vehicles. Driverless vehicles will end up being ownerless vehicles. They will become public utilities, summoned when they are required for the specific trip you have in mind at the moment. Urban car clubs and peer-topeer rentals are one precursor of this phenomenon, Uber and Lyft in their different ways are another. Privately owned cars are parked an average of 95 per cent of the time. This figure varies little from one city or country to another and illustrates why private car ownership will become a dispensable luxury. The difficulty in the past was gaining immediate access to a

car for as long as you needed it at a reasonable cost, but the combination of the smart phone and self-driving vehicle will solve that problem. That, rather than a cheaper taxi service, is the real goal of Uber’s business model, but once reliable self-driving cars are widely available, Uber will find itself deluged with competition. Private ownership will decline steeply and the total number of cars on the road worldwide will eventually crash to perhaps onequarter of the current number. After all, there are hardly ever more than a quarter of privatelyowned cars on the road at the same time. Buses and conventional taxis will virtually disappear, taking millions of driving jobs with them. (There are a million taxi, Uber and bus drivers in the United States alone.) Longdistance truckers and van drivers (another 3.5 million in the U.S.) will also find work increasingly scarce: Daimler, Volvo, Uber and Baidu are already road-testing the first self-driving 18-wheelers. Oh, and one more thing. About a quarter of the average central city in North America (less in Europe and Asia) is devoted to surface parking lots and multi-storey garages. They are part of the 95-per centparked problem. The car doesn’t just take you downtown; it has to stay there the whole time you do, so it must find somewhere to park. Once people realize most of this land is now available for redevelopment, it will get a lot easier and cheaper to live downtown: less commuting, more community. Roll on the car revolution. gwynnedyer.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BEWARE SENSELESS LOGIC OF SERIAL PROTESTORS Editor: There is a well-established anti “what we do not approve of” cadre in Kamloops. A few of the impacts on the local economy these protesters have to their credit over the years are: successfully deactivating logging roads to keep loggers, prospectors, hunters and forest

firefighters out of the forests in the 1990s, keeping a sausage manufacturer from acquiring the Tranquille lands and harassing a businessman until he gave up on a Gasifier Project. Recently, this group wants to stop the KGHMAjax Mine. One of these protesters, who is on the

executive of the anti-Ajax organization KAPA, once raised nearly 500 signatures within three days from their following for a petition to “Free the Spirit Bear” from the Kamloops Wildlife Park. Had the then recently adopted bear, Clover, been released, it would have been destroyed because it was habituated

to humans. Clover would have been a danger. This fact was of no concern to the nearly 500 protesters. To them the “Spirit Bear” was impervious to physical harm. Now that KGHM-Ajax is onside with the publicly funded SLR Report and the BCEAO, with the CEAA, have stated

Ajax Mine is not likely to cause significant adverse effects, Ajax protesters are continuing their protest to try and destroy thousands of people’s aspirations of having good jobs. Be aware of their mediocre minds and senseless logic. Richard Lodmell Kamloops

AJAX MINE SHOULD HELP PEOPLE IN THE CITY Editor: Ajax Mine should be a Kamloops mine for the people of Kamloops, not a mine that makes and sends billions overseas while they leave us crumbs.

There are experienced miners in our city that can produce an underground chemical-free, safe and environmentally friendly mine that could keep those billions right here.

That mine alone would pay for all social programs, lifetime jobs, education, roads, free transit, etc. for both sides of both rivers. Randy Bayley Kamloops

CITY’S WATER-BILLING BENEFITS ‘WASTERS’ Editor: Green lawns can still be green if they are not mowed so short. Let the poor grass shade the soil it’s growing in. Longer grass is nicer to walk

barefoot in, play in and lay down and watch the clouds from. I have a green lawn and it gets irrigated once a week and if it rains the water from the roof goes on the grass.

FURTHER ICBC COST SAVINGS

My latest bill from our city is for 0 to 90 m3 for $34.17. I used 18 m3 and end up paying $1.90 for each m3 instead of $0.38 that the wasters end up paying.

Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher’s column of Aug. 29 (‘ICBC: No easy answers’): A further cost-saving measure would be offering basic auto coverage online.

Four bills per year. How many years will the city continue to be unfair to those it says it wants to encourage? Bill Hadgkiss Kamloops

Virtually every other type of insurance is available online including optional car insurance. If the new government feels strongly about the previous government tak-

Candidates’ takes on municipal taxation KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017

Taxation has always been a hot-button issue in Kamloops. With property tax increases an annual reality, many homeowners are feeling the crunch. Some residents have called for a tax decrease and at least one mayoral candidate is campaigning on a zero tax increase platform. This week, taxation is the byelection issues on which KTW is focusing. The story outlining the issue ran in Tuesday’s paper and is online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Kamloops Byelection tab. Candidates’ views on the issue appear in this week’s editions of KTW and are also online.

Saturday, Sept. 30

#Kampaign17 to determine spending priorities and opportunities to either consider new projects, or reduce tax increases — I think a combination of both would be the best solution. “There are many resources out there explaining why municipalities are left with few options aside from local revenue generation through taxation. “Attracting new businesses and increasing our commercial and industrial tax base, is just one of ways we can diversify our tax base. “Municipal governments are dependent on local tax revenues to build and maintain services and infrastructure, but there is definitely room to look at more progressive revenue options such as expanded revenue from the provincial government and alternative revenue streams.”

SADIE HUNTER “A zero per cent tax increase seems a little ambitious and I think a in-depth analysis of the current budget and departmental spending would be required to determine feasibility. “Given the next sitting council would only have a year before the next election, what I would like to see is an in-depth review and some resulting recommendations. “There are some larger projects coming off the city books soon, so it is the perfect opportunity

JIM JOHAL “I want Kamloops to be competitive and this means spending

has to be controlled and taxes have to be reasonable. The taxpayers of Kamloops are not ATM machines. “Before taxes go up, every other option needs to be exhausted. Right now, this is not happening. “We need to make sure the city and every department is running at peak performance and efficiency. “This starts with a change in mindset. The city’s budget is big enough that we can find ways to reduce costs without cutting services. “We need to eliminate wasteful practices and streamline how we deliver services. And we need to do a better job of engaging city staff and residents, so they can give their ideas and feedback on finding savings. “If we implement this strategy successfully, we will have the lowest tax increase in a long time and a zero per cent tax increase may not be out of the question. “If we combine this with finding ways to attract new businesses here (who pay higher property tax rates, by the way), we can increase revenue and again, possibly avoid tax increases.”

STEPHEN KARPUK “Zero taxation is not feasible in our current tax structure. I think we need to address the tax base in Kamloops and how to grow our income. Communities outside Kamloops, like Sun Rivers, use city services and infrastructure, but pay no taxes. “We need to find creative ways to bring businesses and home owners into our great city. “We need to make sure that we are also spending tax dollars efficiently and effectively. Time for some audits and process reviews. I have some ideas that can address all of the above and grow Kamloops.” CAROLINE KING “Our industrial rate in particular is significantly higher than neighbouring cities and that’s not appealing to potential investors. I do believe it’s time to sit down and really study what the city is losing compared to what it is gaining in real dollars and cents. “Realistically, I don’t think zero per cent is doable, but it is certainly a nice number to start from and attempt to hold, rather than the usual four to five per cent that council then tries to chisel down.”

LESLIE LAX “Cities have a responsibility to provide services and infrastructure to residents and businesses. “Fiscal responsibility means spending your tax dollars wisely and avoiding unnecessary tax increases. “Tax increases between 2010 and 2016 averaged 2.2% per year. “Inflation over the same period averaged 1.2% per year. “A zero per cent tax increase would only be feasible if the city were to find significant cost efficiencies in providing infrastructure and services. “So while a zero percent increase would be challenging, I would work to lower your annual tax increases. “With respect to residential taxes and fees, the burden on the average Kamloops household is in the top 30 percent of all municipalities in B.C. “But when we look at the portion of residential taxes relative to residential assessments, Kamloops is in the middle of the pack. “This tells us that, on average, residential properties in Kamloops are paying their fair share relative to other tax classes when compared with other municipalities.”

Lululemon one of several changes at Aberdeen Mall

Notice to Motorists

Barnhartvale Road and Campbell Creek Road Full Depth Reclamation Project September - August 2017 The City of Kamloops has contracted with BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. to repair Barnhartvale Road (from Todd Road to Campbell Creek Road), and Campbell Creek Road (from Barnhartvale Road to city limits). Work includes: • rotomill and stabilize existing roadway • supply and install asphalt pavement • gravel shoulder restoration • drainage ditching improvements

Temporary stores set up for holiday shoppers have routinely resulted in lines stretching out the door. Desrosiers said Aberdeen Mall had been wooing the company for a long time. The deal was made official on Monday. “This is fantastic news for us,” she said. “We’ve been working on this deal for more than a year. Lululemon has been one of our most-requested tenants and we are happy to deliver.” Desrosiers said the former Eastside Mario’s location will allow Lululemon to have entrances inside and outside the mall, offering flexibility for potential special events. New yoga pants aren’t the only change coming to Aberdeen Mall. Desrosiers said Quarks

Lululemon is moving into the location that used to be home to Eastside Mario’s restaurant, on the east side of Aberdeen Mall. The restaurant closed in 2013 and the space has been vacant since. Lululemon is expected to open sometime in early December.

Shoes is slated to open later this month, and Boutique of Leathers is undergoing renovations with plans to be open before Christmas. As well, she said, Sticky’s Candy is moving into the food

court in the coming weeks. “This is a busy time of year because everybody wants to gear up and look their best for the holiday season,” Desrosiers said. “We’re happy. It’s nice that there’s change happening.”

Trails have reopened in Wells Gray Provincial Park After a lengthy closure due to a unusually busy wildfire season in B.C., trails and facilities in Wells Gray Provincial Park are once again open for business. The trails, facilities and backcountry — which had been closed to reduce wildfire risk — reopened on Tuesday. Reopened trails include Moul Falls

and Trophy Mountain. A campfire ban remains in effect for the entire Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes Wells Gray, located 130 kilometres north of Kamloops on Highway 5. Wildfires in B.C. have burned more than 1 million hectares this year, more than any other year on record.

Police defend move to seize shopping carts from homeless people, return them to businesses From A1

“They’ve been very good to me, but I was scared they might catch up to me,” O’Shea said. Maldidier was upset by the news. She met O’Shea more than a decade ago while working at the former downtown casino and got to know him. “He’s just a really amazing man. He’s probably the happiest person I’ve seen. He always has something to say to you,” Maldidier said. “You start to think, ‘Wow — that’s his entire life in that cart. I have more in my walk-in closet than he does in his cart and he’s happy.’” Maldidier isn’t the only one who cares for O’Shea. Her online post was shared almost 400 times and caught the attention of Elie Hanna, owner of Frenchies Poutinerie. Hanna met O’Shea eight years ago, when he had moved to Kamloops from Quebec to attend Thompson Rivers University. Their introduction was born of a heated call O’Shea overheard. “He told me, ‘Don’t stress,’” Hanna said. “From that day, we built a good relationship.” When Hanna opened the poutinerie on Victoria Street, he began feeding O’Shea for free. The two became friends and see each other daily, often dining together over poutine. It’s why Hanna acted quickly upon seeing Maldidier’s post on Facebook, taking to his company social media channels to organize a fundraiser to get O’Shea his own custom shopping cart. Thousands more Facebook shares led to overwhelming support behind efforts to help O’Shea. To be clear, O’Shea’s shopping cart wasn’t taken away — but that didn’t matter. A by-donation poutine sale on Sunday left Frenchies dry of cheese curds and gravy in just two hours. Prior to selling out 450 containers of the “traditional,” customers waited to help O’Shea and chow down on Montreal’s famed french fries because a staff member was late and Hanna didn’t expect the number of people who’d show up wanting to help. “I apologize for all the customers, that it took longer,” Hanna told KTW, noting a lineup half an hour prior to opening at lunchtime that grew down the street. The efforts raised more than $1,600 — money to purchase materials for a local contractor to build a custom buggy for O’Shea, who called the support “heartwarming.” “One with good wheels. One that’s easy to push in the snow,

Dealing with shopping carts and homeless camps is often the work of Kamloops bylaw officers. John Ramsay, the city’s bylaw supervisor, said the plan this year was to get ahead of the issue to reduce problems.

”

basically that’s it,” O’Shea said. “Not too big, not too small.” The remaining fundraiser money will go to purchasing items like blankets to make O’Shea’s life easier, Hanna said. “The rest of the money, I’d like to see go to the Children’s Wish Foundation,” O’Shea said. *** While Hanna is using his business to help O’Shea, Kamloops RCMP attribute complaints from other businesess as the cause for a recent crackdown on stolen shopping carts, reporting 33 of them were returned to businesses between June and September of this year. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the initiative began as a request for voluntary return of the carts, followed by verbal warnings and eventual seizures. “No criminal charges were recommended,” Shelkie said. “We didn’t fine anybody.” Kamloops RCMP also noted reports from businesses about “inconvenience” to customers, stating in a press release that business owners indicated people, utilizing stolen shopping carts, were blocking customers from accessing stores and forcing people from the sidewalk. Shelkie maintains police aren’t

targeting homeless people. “We don’t know if they’re homeless or not,” she said. Asked whether police were cracking down on shopping carts often taken to apartment buildings to transport groceries, Shelkie called those buggies “abandoned property.” “If you look at the Criminal Code, you have to have the intent to keep it,” she said. Meanwhile, bylaw supervisor Jon Ramsay said recovery of shopping carts is part of a proactive initiative among community partners in response to a surge in panhandling issues last summer in Kamloops. “This year, we were trying to get a handle on it before it got out of control,” Ramsay said. Other measures included cracking down on temporary shelters, aggressive panhandlers and improper needle disposal. Bylaw officers don’t have the authority to confiscate stolen property — that lies with police. They do, however, collect abandoned carts, holding them and any personal belongings — including medication and identification — for two weeks, to be picked up at ASK Wellness. “If they don’t pick it up, it goes to the landfill,” Ramsay said.

Kamloops Central Businesses Improvement Association general manager Gay Pooler said the issue of stolen shopping carts has come up downtown. “Yes, I can see that has definitely come up. Businesses are wanting their stolen property back,” she said. “I think they’re [shopping carts] valued at $800 a piece or something . . . . You can see why they want their property back, it’s stolen property.” While Pooler said the subject is complex, she noted efforts to “alleviate some of the issues.” Those include hosting events and attracting development to densify downtown and promote “friendliness,” expanding the CAP ambassador program year-round to keep the area clean and safe and collaborating with community partners. “We want to make sure people realize that we’re not sticking our heads in the sand,” she said. *** A homeless advocate who has spent a year living on the streets slammed the city and Kamloops RCMP for a “serious lack of caring.” “When I was a child, the saying was, ‘Take a look at the poor people in the community and how the community treats them and you’ll tell how healthy that community is,’” Leonard Seigo, 75, told KTW. “This community is very, very, very sick. And I’m talking about those that are supposedly, quote unquote, the leaders of the community. They’re not dealing with the issue, they’re not acknowledging the issue. What they’re doing is

trying to stomp it out.” Seigo said instead of chasing the homeless, officials should build affordable housing. “Once you’re housed, then you have the opportunity to reach out into the community and draw on the resources,” he said. “You have the opportunity to work because you have a roof over your head.” Seigo estimated between 75 and 100 buggies are in use by marginalized people in Kamloops. He said most who use buggies to transport their personal belongings use the same one for a long time, just like O’Shea — who is averaging a new cart every three years. O’Shea said he doesn’t believe people should steal and he knows replacement carts are expensive for businessess, but added “human beings should have the basics in life — food and water, a roof over their head.” “Things are very expensive in B.C.,” he said. “I don’t expect governments to bring world peace, but they can provide the basic necessities.” Seigo said taking away buggies from the homeless will result in them stealing another, creating a “much larger problem.” “You take a dog and you kick it and pretty soon it’s gonna bite you,” he said. “You corner a rat and sooner or later he’s going to fight his way out. That’s what’s happening with the poor in this community.” *** Therein lies the problem — balancing the law, business’ bottom lines and underlying issues of poverty. It’s a challenge acting mayor Arjun Singh is trying to work out, in light of O’Shea’s situation. “I can see where the police are coming from here,” he said, also noting: “I don’t necessarily think we should look at preying on marginalized people in any way.” Singh said the city has no control over the RCMP, but stressed the importance of not targeting people who aren’t “causing anybody any problems.” He said he plans to talk to city council and social services in Kamloops to come up with alternative options to appease businesses and the marginalized, such as lockers or coloured carts. O’Shea will have his own solution, thanks to those who dropped by Frenchies for poutine on Sunday, and Singh called him the “poster child of this problem.” “We have to figure out as a community, how do we try to get those people some way to transport some stuff,” Singh said. “I don’t have the answer. I’m just talking about where my heart goes.”

Sajjan says Canada won’t be rushed THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan National says the government will not be rushed into making a decision on where to deploy peacekeepers. The comments come as the clock ticks down to a major peacekeeping meeting in Vancouver in November that is only open to countries that have or are ready to pledge specific forces to UN missions. Canada was given permission to host the meeting last year after the Trudeau government said it would make up to 600 soldiers available to various peacekeeping missions. The early signs pointed to Canada sending troops to Mali and trainers to various other African countries to help their militaries become better at peacekeeping. But the Liberals refused to commit themselves and have instead waffled for over a year, sparking frustration and even anger from various allies and even UN officials. Speaking at a federal cabinet retreat in St. John’s N.L., Sajjan said the government remains committed to peacekeeping, but it wants to make the right decision.

BRIEFS

Court told Canada’s prisons ‘deficient’ TORONTO — A court in Toronto is hearing for a second day why Canada’s system of solitary confinement for inmates is unconstitutional. Civil liberties lawyers say administrative segregation, among other things, is procedurally unfair and structurally deficient. They said no meaningful review exists of a warden’s decision to place someone in isolation. Inmates in administrative segregation are locked away by themselves for 23 hours a day. It is used when prisoners are at risk from other inmates, or pose a threat to the security of the prison. Research, however, suggests the practice can cause extreme psychological harm, especially when prolonged. Liberties groups and prisoner activists want a 15-day limit placed on such isolation.

Report questions need for pipelines TORONTO — A new report by the Centre for International Governance Innovation is questioning the need for new pipelines to carry oilsands production to tidewater for export. Jeff Rubin, a senior fellow at the centre and a former chief economist at CIBC, says in the report that the claim that additional pipeline capacity to tidewater will unlock higher prices is not corroborated by either past or current market conditions. Rubin said overseas markets pay even lower prices for bitumen than in North America, so there is no economic case for additional pipeline capacity to tidewater or expanded oilsands production. He said international commitments to reduce global carbon emissions over the next three decades will also reduce the size of future oil markets. The report followed a move by TransCanada to ask the National Energy Board to put its application for the 4,500-kilometre Energy East pipeline on hold after the regulator said it would consider indirect greenhouse gas emissions in evaluating the pipeline. Rubin recommended the National Energy Board consider a rapidly decarbonizing global economy as the base case when modelling.

Mountie killed in New Brunswick after stopping to help change tire THE CANADIAN PRESS

MEMRAMCOOK, N.B. — A Nova Scotia Mountie who apparently stopped to assist motorists with a flat tire has been killed in a collision in southeastern New Brunswick. A utility van collided with his police car and an SUV shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday in the east bound lane of the

Trans-Canada Highway near Memramcook, police said. RCMP Cpl. Jullie RogersMarsh said the preliminary investigation has determined the officer stopped to assist two people in the SUV change a tire. The officer, a 35-yearold former member of the force’s famed Musical Ride who got married this summer, died at the scene.

“The two people with the SUV were taken to hospital and the driver of the van was also taken to hospital where he was treated, released and has been taken into police custody,’’ Rogers-Marsh said. Rogers-Marsh said she couldn’t say why the Nova Scotia officer was in New Brunswick at the time, but did confirm that he was on-

duty and in uniform. As of midday Wednesday, his name had not been released. However, a spokeswoman for the RCMP in Nova Scotia said a statement would be given at its Amherst detachment on the death of a member. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

home in Lethbridge to take stock of the damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was not a lot left,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said Wednesday. Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandpa and nana, Jim and Angel, would regularly get help from their three children and seven grandchildren on the ranch. Garner says she would go every weekend. When she drove onto the property, she would see a beautiful red log house. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone, along with the feed yard, arena and barn. The only thing left standing was a shop housing farm equipment and supplies that happened to be surrounded by gravel. Treasured family keepsakes inside the house were destroyed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have this old cowboy hat that was my great-great grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burned down,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that they own and our stuff as well was in there, everything.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Garner said her family is grateful everyone got out safely and none of the 100 or so horses on the ranch was hurt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Materials can be replaced. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a new house, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a new barn, arena,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll rebuild everything.

Without our family here, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as calm and collected as we are because we all support each other.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Alberta government says around 500 people are under evacuation order in the Waterton Lakes National Park townsite and parts of Cardston County, the Municipal District of Pincher Creek and the Blood Reserve, a First Nations community southwest of Lethbridge. The wildfire is estimated at 330 square kilometres.

Two thirds of Canadian households saving for retirement, census suggests sion plans and RRSPs, while those younger than 35 and those older than 54 were more likely to contribute to a TFSA. Or, in Statistics Canada’s words: “Participation in savings plans followed strong life-cycle patterns.’’ It’s the first time the census has probed the question, taking advantage of tax data to paint a more accurate picture of just how seriously Canadians take it — a picture which experts say has long been distorted by suspect data and aggressive investment marketing. “I think things in general are still in pretty good shape when it comes to preparing for retirement,’’ said Fred Vettese, chief actuary at Morneau Shepell in Toronto. “For the most part, when you look at middle-income Canadians they are saving.

DAVID HODGES

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Two-thirds of households are setting aside money for retirement, taking advantage of either a registered pension plan, an RRSP or a taxfree savings account, Statistics Canada said Wednesday as it released the latest batch of numbers from the 2016 census. Of 14 million households, 65.2 per cent made a contribution in 2015 — the most recent year for which data was available — to one or more of the three major savings vehicles, an apparent counterpoint to the prevailing narrative that too many Canadians take a cavalier approach to retirement. Different generations took different approaches: Major income earners aged 35 to 54 were prone to make use of registered pen-

“So one of the problems with the statistics is that they end up being misleading.’’ Vettese said he’s particularly frustrated by the oft-cited national household saving rate, which landed at 4.6 per cent in the second quarter of this year, compared with 20 per cent in 1980. “That’s the stat that people keep on harping on, and it has dropped a lot — but that household saving rate is a funny number.’’ For starters, household saving doesn’t include Canada Pension Plan contributions — “for most people, you figure that their CPP contributions are savings for retirement,’’ he said — which means federal efforts to enhance the pension plan won’t change that figure “one iota.’’ What’s more, Vettese said, the household saving rate deducts

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Eight patients at a sweltering nursing home died after Hurricane Irma knocked out the air conditioning, raising fears Wednesday about the safety of Florida’s four million senior citizens amid power outages that could go on for days. Hollywood Police Chief Tom Sanchez said investigators believe the deaths at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills were heat-related, and added: “The building has been sealed off and we are conducting a criminal investigation.’’ Gov. Rick Scott called on Florida emergency workers to immediately check on nursing homes and assisted living facilities to make sure patients are safe, and he ordered an investigation into the deaths. “This situation is unfathomable,’’ he said. The home said in a statement that the hurricane had knocked out a transformer that powered

the storm had passed. The death toll across the Caribbean stood at 38. At least six people died apparently of carbon monoxide poisoning from generators in Florida. A Tampa man died after the chain saw he was using to remove trees kicked back and cut his carotid artery. In Hollywood, three patients were found dead at the nursing home early Wednesday after emergency workers received a call about a person with a heart attack, and five more died later, police said. Altogether, more than 100 patients there were found to be suffering in the heat and were evacuated, many on stretchers or in wheelchairs. Patients were treated for dehydration, breathing difficulties and other heatrelated ills, authorities said. Nursing homes in Florida are required by state and federal law to file an emergency plan that includes evacuation plans for residents. Any plan submitted by the Hollywood centre was not immediately available. Calls to the owner were not immediately returned.

the facility’s air conditioning. Exactly how the deaths happened was under investigation, with Sanchez saying authorities have not ruled anything out, including carbon monoxide poisoning from generators. He also said investigators will look into how many windows were open. Across the street from the nursing home sat a fully airconditioned hospital, Memorial Regional. “It’s a sad state of affairs,’’ the police chief said. “We all have elderly people in facilities, and we all know we depend on those people in those facilities to care for a vulnerable elderly population.’’ The deaths came as people trying to put their lives back together in hurricane-stricken Florida and beyond confronted a multitude of new hazards in the storm’s aftermath, including tree-clearing accidents and lethal fumes from generators. Not counting the nursing home deaths, at least 15 people in Florida have died under Irmarelated circumstances, and six more in South Carolina and Georgia, many of them well after

SEOUL — South Korea said Wednesday it had conducted its first live-fire drill for an advanced air-launched cruise missile that would strengthen its pre-emptive strike capability against North Korea in the event of crisis. South Korea’s military said the Taurus missile fired from an F-15 fighter jet travelled through obstacles at low altitudes before hitting a target off the country’s western coast during drills Tuesday. The missile, manufactured by Germany’s Taurus Systems, has a maximum range of 500 kilometres and is equipped with stealth characteristics that will allow it to avoid radar detection before hitting North Korean targets, according to Seoul’s Defence Ministry. South Korea has been accelerating efforts to ramp up its military capabilities in face of a torrent of nuclear weapons tests by North Korea, which on Sept. 3 conducted its sixth and most

powerful nuclear test to date. Shortly after the nuke test, Seoul announced it reached an agreement with Washington to remove the warhead weight limits on South Korean ballistic missiles, which under a bilateral guideline could be built for a maximum range of 800 kilometres. A pre-emptive strike against Pyongyang’s leadership would be difficult to undertake, but it’s widely seen as the most realistic of the limited military options Seoul has to deny a nuclear attack from its rival. The North said its latest nuclear test was a detonation of a thermonuclear weapon built for its developmental intercontinental ballistic missiles that were flight tested twice in July. The country is also developing solid-fuel missiles that could be fired from land mobile launchers or submarines. It flew a powerful new midrange missile over northern Japan last month while declaring more missile tests targeting the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, South Korea

said it found a small amount of radioactivity in air samples collected days after North Korea’s test. The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission said the discovery of the xenon-133 isotope is linked to the recent test but it couldn’t verify exactly what kind of bomb was detonated because several other isotopes that typically accompany a nuclear explosion were not found. Those isotopes could show if the bomb tested on Sept. 3 was a plutonium or uranium device, according to the South Korean agency. It said it also hasn’t found traces of tritium, which accompany a test of a thermonuclear, or hydrogen, bomb. North Korea did a poor job obscuring its first nuclear test in 2006, when xenon and krypton isotopes detected in the atmosphere allowed scientists to conclude that the country had used a plutonium-fueled device. The country has since improved the design of its nuclear tests to make radioactivity less detectable from a distance.

Kim Coltman hopes moving a fashion show featuring aboriginal designers and models to the Tk’emlups Indian Band Powwow Grounds will raise more money for families impacted by missing and murdered aboriginal girls and women. KTW FILE PHOTOS

‘We’re going to keep doing this until we find a solution’

FASHION SHOW IN SUPPORT OF MURDERED, MISSING ABORIGINAL GIRLS, WOMEN

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

fashion show raising money to support those impacted by missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls will be significantly larger than the inaugural event in Kamloops two years ago. World Fusion of Wearable Art hits the runway at the Tk’emlups Indian Band Powwow Grounds on Saturday, with 30 aboriginal models, many of whom are local, set to showcase works by nine aboriginal designers. Event organizer Kim Coltman said a similar event in 2015 raised about $7,000 and sold out quickly before touring Australia, Montana and New Mexico the following year. She deemed it a success, with designers also later invited to larger shows in the fashion capitals of the world:

New York, Milan and Paris. Coltman said one designer even commissioned a piece for Michelle Obama. “It’s amazing how many of these designers have skyrocketed,” she said. This year marks a new show in Kamloops, which has moved from Thompson Rivers University to the Powwow Grounds to accommodate more people — 6,000 compared to 256 at TRU. “I think because what we’d really like to do is give ourselves the best opportunity to raise the most amount of money,” Coltman said. She said the event returned because the issue of missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls has not been resolved. One year ago, the federal government launched a national inquiry to examine systemic causes of all forms of violence against indigenous women, girls and members of the LGBTQ2S community in Canada. It took decades to launch with

countless calls from community members. The past year has not been without hurdles, including recent calls for the head of the commission to step down. Family testimonies are underway at hearings in cities across the country this month and Coltman hopes to keep the issue top of mind. She said indigenous women represent a small population in Canada but make up 18 per cent of women who go missing. “We want to do this because the issue still hasn’t stopped,” she said. “We’re going to keep doing this until we find a solution.” Back in Kamloops, the models will walk a runway constructed especially to fill the space at the Powwow Grounds, courtesy of wood donated by the Savona Sawmill. Hand-painted masks took local artist Erik Prytula months to craft for the show. Each mask represents a different First Nation, such as Haida, Salish and Secwepemc First Nations. The masks will cover the top half of the

At the end of the presentation, which runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., the models will lift their masks to reveal their full faces and the masks will then be auctioned off, with proceeds benefitting Families of Sisters in Spirit, a non-profit organization working with families impacted by missing and murdered aboriginal women.

B.C. Division landscape shifts MARTY HASTINGS

KTW is looking ahead to the 2017-2018 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a series that started on Aug. 24. Stories will run each Thursday until Sept. 21. The local WHL club opens its season in Kelowna against the Rockets on Sept. 22. Today, we take a look at the B.C. Division . Each story in the series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

uinn Benjafield has become familiar with the B.C. Division, now four years removed from being a first-round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam draft. The 19-year-old forward from North Vancouver was asked what his Kamloops Blazers are expecting to see this season from the Victoria Royals, Kelowna Rockets, Prince George Cougars and Vancouver Giants. “We fit in the middle,” said Benjafield, who had 16 goals and 42 points last season. “Every team is losing some guys, but I think Kelowna is still going to be really strong this year and Victoria has a few older guys coming back, a lot of good 98s and 99s [1998- and 1999-born players]. “PG, they sold the farm last year. They’re going to be beatable this year and Van will be getting better but, like last year, it’s going to be tight and very competitive.” The Cougars claimed the B.C. Division banner in 2016-2017, finishing with 96 points, one point ahead of the Rockets and six points clear of the Blazers. Prince George loaded up on 19-year-old players for a lengthy playoff run that never materialized, as it fell 4-2 to the Portland Winterhawks in Round 1. Major roster turnover will see them ice a younger team, one that will likely struggle to keep pace with the division leaders. “Both us and PG will lose some key offensive players,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “Victoria has some highend forwards that will score and create offence for them. Kelowna

will be a pretty well-rounded team and Vancouver will be an improved team because they’ve gotten older.” Key returnees for the Cougars include a pair of forwards — Nikita Popugaev, who turns 19 on Nov. 20, and 19-year-old Kody McDonald — and 19-year-old defencemen Josh Anderson and Dennis Cholowski, both NHL draftees. The Cougars will be looking to replace graduated Ty Edmonds in the blue paint and may turn to 16-year-old netminder Taylor Gauthier, their first-round pick, ninth overall, in the 2016 bantam draft. Kamloops is expected to lose four of its top five scorers from

a season ago — Collin Shirley (graduated), Lane Bauer (graduated), Deven Sideroff (Anaheim Ducks signee) and Rudolfs Balcers (San Jose Sharks signee). The majority of the Blazers’ blue line will return and goaltending should be a strength, with 19-year-old Dylan Ferguson replacing Connor Ingram, a 20-year-old Tampa Bay Lightning signee. Buoying the Royals’ attack will be 19-year-old Matthew Phillips, who exploded for 50 goals and 90 points last season, 19-year-old Dante Hannoun and 20-year-old Tyler Soy. Griffen Outhouse, 19, is expected to provide strong goaltending and the Royals’ defence

corps will be anchored by Jared Freadrich and Ralph Jarratt, both 19, and Scott Walford, an 18-yearold rearguard selected 68th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2017 NHL Draft. Kelowna is expected to lose key pieces up front in Nick Merkley and Calvin Thurkauf, both 20-year-olds likely to play pro this season, and Reid Gardiner has aged out of junior hockey. Dillon Dube and Kole Lind, both 19, will help carry the offensive load and the Rockets will be led on defence by 6-foot-4, 210-pound Cal Foote, 19. James Hilsendager and Gordie Ballhorn, both 20, and 19-year-old Braydyn Chizen will likely round

out the top-four D-men. Brodan Salmond, who turns 19 on Oct. 8, seems the frontrunner to start in net for Kelowna. The Giants are expected to start the campaign with a large contingent of 18-year-olds, about 11 of them, which bodes well for a run at the division title in 20182019. In the meantime, Vancouver seems likely to move out of the division basement, where it has languished for the past three seasons. “I think the key to Vancouver is [Tyler Benson],” Hay said of the 19-year-old top prospect who has struggled with injuries throughout his WHL career. “Is he going to be healthy? Is he going to be able to play at 100 per cent? He’s a real quality player. He’ll make players around him better.” NHL draftee Ty Ronning, who turns 20 on Oct. 20, and a pair of 18-year-olds — Kamloops product Brendan Semchuk and Langley native James Malm — are among those who will be counted on for offence this season, along with 20-year-old Brad Morrison, acquired in a trade with Prince George in June. Ryan Kubic, 19, returns between the pipes. Matt Barberis, 19, and Darian Skeoch, 20, will log big minutes on the back end. See HAY, A28

Hay: Leaders have to step up From A27

Joining Hay as the B.C. Division head coaches are Richard Matvichuk (Prince George), Dan Price (Victoria), Jason Smith (Kelowna) and Jason McKee (Vancouver). Hay likened this season’s Blazers to the first group he ever coached in Kamloops, the 19921993 team that included blossoming youngsters Shane Doan, Hnat Domenichelli and Nolan Baumgartner. “They continued to develop and, with good leadership, they got better,” Hay said. “Our older

guys have to take ownership and responsibility to help the younger players get better. “You always want to get into the playoffs. That’s always our goal. But you’ve got to be careful where you place the expec-

tations. With a young group, it’s about standards.” Benjafield is among those ready to embrace the task of getting less experienced players up to speed on what Hay expects. “I would like to get a letter this year, but there are a lot of guys that deserve letters in the room,” Benjafield said. “If I get a letter or not, I’m going to act the same way in the room and on the bench. “I’m going to lead the young guys and be talking all the time and helping everybody out.”

SANCHEZ TURNING FOCUS TO 2018 MELISSA COUTO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Aaron Sanchez is ready to put his finger issues behind him and never look back. A frustrating season came to a close for the Blue Jays’ right-hander over the weekend when the team officially shut him down for the remainder of 2017. What started as a blister on his right middle finger and expanded into a nail issue early in the year has now developed into a pulley sprain in his tendon, which Sanchez found out about on Friday. For now, the only solution for the 25-year-old is rest. But he and the team will continue to explore options over the off-season to prevent his blisters from re-emerging. “I don’t even want to look at my finger. That’s how irritated I’ve been with all this stuff,’’ Sanchez said. “I think I’ll have an answer before I even pick up a ball on what kind of strategy or what we need to do moving forward. “I’m trying to take care of that now because when I pick up a ball I’m slamming the door on all this [stuff] that happened this year.’’ Sanchez went on the disabled list four times over the course of the season and had a procedure done to remove part of his fingernail in an attempt to fix the nagging problem. The abbreviated season comes a year after he went 15-2 with an American League-best 3.00 earned-run average, 161 strikeouts and 192 innings pitched while appearing in his first all-star game. Sanchez, who’s dealt with blisters in the past, refused to place any blame on the baseballs being used by MLB, as other pitchers — including teammate Marcus Stroman — have done this year. “Everybody else has complained about it. I don’t need to add to it,’’ Sanchez said. “MLB knows what’s going on in terms of people having assumptions that things are different. They’ll figure it out. I don’t need to add to that.” Toronto (68-77) is scheduled to play the hometown Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Game time is 5:10 p.m.

Pacman aiming to bolster Bengals JOE KAY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — Adam (Pacman) Jones watched and winced as the Bengals stumbled through one of their worst season openers. He’s back from his NFL suspension trying to help them get beyond it. The cornerback served a one-game suspension for his off-season arrest and misdemeanour conviction. He was activated Tuesday and will start against the Texans at Paul Brown Stadium on Thursday night. Game time is 5:25 p.m. The Bengals lost to the Ravens 20-0, the first time in their history that they were blanked in a season opener at home. Most of the issues involved the offence — Andy Dalton had five turnovers — but the young defence had bad moments as well. Healthy and eager to play, Jones was relegated to watching on television. “It was very odd, especially when you’re still playing at a high level and you know you can help your teammates out,’’ Jones said. “But like I’ve said, I put myself in this situation. I’ve already apologized to my teammates, Mr. [Mike] Brown, all of my coaches. Now it’s back to the basics.’’ A defence that’s in transition was missing two of its veteran starters for the opener. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict served the first of his threegame suspension from the NFL for his latest egregious hit during a preseason game. The Bengals got rid of several veterans in the off-season, creating bigger roles for young players on the defensive line and at linebacker. Jones and Burfict help the younger players keep up with the defensive adjustments on the field. “It’s a different team,’’ cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys out there, especially [Sunday].

PARIS, LA GET OLYMPICS EDDIE PELLS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LIMA, Peru — Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympics and Los Angeles will stage the 2028 Games — a predetermined conclusion that the International Olympic Committee has officially ratified in a history-making vote. The decision on Wednesday marks the first time the IOC has granted two Summer Olympics at once. It came after a year’s worth of scrambling by IOC president Thomas

Bach, who had only the two bidders left for the original prize, 2024, and couldn’t bear to see either lose. Both cities will host their third Olympics. The Paris Games will come on the 100th anniversary of its last games — a milestone that would have made the French capital the sentimental favourite had only 2024 been up for grabs. Los Angeles moved to 2028, and will halt a stretch of 32 years without a Summer Games in the United States.

Suicide bomber kills three YOUTUBE PHOTO

Adam (Pacman) Jones served a one-game suspension for his off-season arrest and will return to the Cincinatti Bengals’ secondary against the Houston Texans on Thursday. Both teams are looking to bounce back from disheartening Week 1 defeats. Game time is 5:25 p.m. at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinatti.

So it was a big difference out there and you could tell.’’ The biggest problem was the offence’s five turnovers. Dalton matched his career high with four interceptions and lost a fumble on a sack. One of the interceptions was returned to the 2-yard line, helping Baltimore take control with a pair of touchdowns in a 24-second span. The Ravens essentially ran

out the clock in the second half with a 17-0 lead. They didn’t complete a pass, getting all of their 96 yards on the ground. They effectively clinched it with a 17-play drive that lasted 9 minutes, 38 seconds and was extended by three defensive penalties, two of them on third down. Jones is one of the most demonstrative players on defence, and he’ll try to get

everyone else revved up against the Texans (0-1), who also are coming off a discouraging home opener. Houston lost to Jacksonville 29-7 on Sunday. “I’m going to bring a lot of spark and attitude,’’ Jones said. “You know that. And I’m going to try my best to make sure everybody’s in the game, having fun and playing with an edge.’’

KABUL — A suicide bomber struck outside a cricket stadium during a match in Afghanistan’s capital Wednesday, killing at least three people and wounding 12 others, officials said. Kabul police spokesman Basir Mujahid said hundreds of people were inside watching a match when the bomber struck outside the gates where security guards were searching people. Health Ministry official Mohammad Salim Rasouli confirmed the death toll and said at least 12 people, including two children, were wounded. No one claimed responsibility for the attack. Mohammad Hassan said he was 50 metres away when the bomber struck. “There was blood and chaos everywhere,’’ he said.

ESPN scolds anchor Hill for anti-Trump comments on Twitter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRISTOL, Conn. — ESPN distanced itself from anchor Jemele Hill’s tweets one day after she called President Donald Trump “a white supremacist’’ and “a bigot.’’ “The comments on Twitter from Jemele Hill regarding the president do not represent the position of ESPN,’’ the network tweeted

Tuesday from its public relations department’s account. “We have addressed this with Jemele and she recognizes her actions were inappropriate.’’ On Monday night, in a series of exchanges with other Twitter users, Hill said, “Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.’’

Hill, an African-American co-host of the 6 p.m. broadcast of SportsCenter also added that “Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.’’ In another tweet, she said, “Donald Trump is a bigot,’’ and went on to criticize his supporters, adding, “The height of white

privilege is being able to ignore his white supremacy, because it’s of no threat to you. Well, it’s a threat to me.’’ Disney-owned ESPN did not elaborate on any possible punishment for Hill and she was on Tuesday evening’s SportsCenter broadcast as usual. While many twitter users called for Hill to be fired,

unemployed NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick expressed his support, tweeting, “We are with you @jemelehill.’’ Kaepernick, who remains unsigned after opting out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers, received plenty of criticism — and support — after kneeling during the national anthem before games last season to

protest police brutality. Three weeks ago, ESPN said it pulled broadcaster Robert Lee, who is AsianAmerican, from the Virginia football season opener because of violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. The violence erupted at a rally to protest the decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Doris M.l. Blundell

John Plowman August 1, 1925 - August 30, 2017

In 1993, John and Rita moved to Kamloops and became active members of St. Paul’s Cathedral congregation. Retirement allowed John more time to enjoy his many interests such as sailing, tennis, travelling and community theatre. He spent many cherished hours with his family.

Doris was a talented painter, potter, sculptor, doll maker and quilter. She will be remembered in a Celebration of Life at 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 16, 2017 in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Dr., Kamloops, BC. The family would like to express our deep appreciation for the wonderful care provided to Doris by Dr. Peter Loland and the staff at Overlander Residential Care Home. Flowers gratefully declined.

John was a charter member of Valley Squadron (Canadian Power and Sail Squadron) where he taught safe boating for many years and became a life member. Tireless hours were spent volunteering with Canadian Cancer Society, Thompson Valley Orchestra Board, Canadian Red Cross and B.C.G.R.E.U. Executive. In lieu of flowers and if desired, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Donald Edwin Clough 16 October 1959 – 20 August 2017

It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Don Clough after a long and courageous battle with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Son, brother, uncle and friend Don was loved very much by his family and we will miss him terribly. We hope you will join us in remembering him as we do: a quick wit, a desire to always learn and a fierce devotion to his family and friends. Don spent a lengthy career in technology working in the community at both Royal Inland Hospital and Thompson Rivers University. Along with his beloved friends Tom and Stel as well as extended family, grieving are Don’s mother Lillian Clough, his sisters Wendy Popoff and Eileen Skinner, brothers-in-law Tom Skinner and Bob Popoff, his six nieces and nephews Dan (Peter), Doug (Ildiko), Greg (Tammy), Tanya (Wes) and Nicholas (Angela) as well as many great nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his father Edwin Clough. We hope you will join us for a reception as we Celebrate Don’s Life on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at the Hilton Doubletree from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 393 St. Paul Street, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully accepted to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

Did you know that Schoening’s and First Memorial have both had an interior face lift? Both facilities are set up for your reception needs including full catering and varied reception menu for you to choose from. No set up, no clean up, and no shopping to do. Leave that to us.

Others who will cherish his memory are all his neighbours on Robson Dr. and his hunting and fishing partner Herman and wife Judy.

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.
