KAMLOOPS RESIDENTS DESCRIBE ‘SHEER PANIC’ IN LAS VEGAS MASS SHOOTING TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Moments of “sheer panic and fear” is how a Kamloops woman who sustained minor shrapnel injuries in the deadly Las Vegas shooting Sunday describes the terrifying experience. At least 59 people, including three Canadians, died and more than 500 suffered injuries during a shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Thea Dunn told KTW she didn’t even realize she had been injured until she got back to her hotel room hours after the incident. “I didn’t know what it was from,” she said. “We were just running and stopping, running and stopping with the gunshots.” Dunn travelled to Las Vegas for the Route 91 Harvest country music festival with her husband and three other Kamloops

Marquette University in Milwaukee had this dome installed over a sports field in 2016, allowing its teams to practie through the winter. Yeadon, a company specializing in such structures, built the dome at an estimated cost of US $3.5 million. The dome has a 25-year lifespan.

City looks to cover Hillside Stadium field with dome SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is exploring the idea of an air-supported dome covering the Hillside Stadium track and field. The project is in partnership with Thompson Rivers

University, which is helping the city fund a feasibility study. The city’s notice of intent filed on Tuesday says it will contract Dialog Design Inc. to come up with a conceptual design and cost estimate for a dome that would cover the entire football field and

400-metre oval track. The city’s notice also mentions a new storage building for the dome, modifications to bleachers, an air-lock connection to dressing rooms and a viewing window into the dome from the second level of the existing field house. See DOME, A4

couples. Among that group was Stephanie Carter, who said she was at the festival grounds on Sunday for about three hours before the headliner took the stage at about 9:40 p.m. “Jason Aldean started. The first few songs we were hooting and hollering and having a great old time,” she told KTW. Carter said she had to use the washroom and left with a friend to find a port-a-potty. “We walked there together,” she said. “I said, ‘Oh, if we go to the back ones, they’re usually empty and fairly clean.’” Little did Carter know that port-a-potty would become her temporary hideout. “All the sudden, I heard the music abruptly stop and I thought, ‘That’s weird — I wonder if they’re having technical difficulties,’” she said. “Then we heard, ‘Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa,’ and I thought, ‘That’s gunshots.’ There was a break and then it started again. There would be a pause and then it

would be, ‘Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa’ — it would start again. It just seemed like the gunshots went on for so long.” Dunn said she was about 20 feet from the stage when Aldean’s performance started. “I was on the right-hand side of the sound booth and I heard gunfire,” she said. “It was chaos. Everything happened at once. People were being very heroic around me. I turned to run and somebody told me to get down. He put himself in front of me.” Dunn said people were working together to try to keep safe, even as bullets sprayed the large crowd from above. “The shooting kept starting and stopping,” she said. “Every time it started again, we just run and stop, run and stop. I think it may have been sort of controlled chaos, like the guy who laid on top of me — ‘If we work together as a team, we’re going to get through this.’” See HUSBAND, A7

Thirty days in prison for groping girl at sleepover TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man has been sentenced to 30 days behind bars after admitting to “a moment of weakness” more than five years ago in which he groped his daughter’s teenaged friend during a sleepover. The 50-year-old man, who cannot be named due to a court-ordered publication ban protecting the identity of his victim, pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to one count of touching for a sexual purpose a person under 16 years old. Court heard the incident took place at the man’s home in 2011. He was watching a movie with his daughter and her friend, both 13, when the friend fell asleep. He reached over and rubbed the friend’s privates over her pyjama bottoms. The girl woke up while the touching was taking place, but pretended to remain asleep. The incident came to light years later when the girl reported it to a sexual-assault counsellor. The man was charged in September 2016. “I take full responsibility for what happened,” the man said in court. “I can’t really express how sorry I am. I know that I’ve harmed my family.” The man told court he and his

daughter have not spoken in two years as a result of the incident, noting he missed her high school graduation. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo had been seeking a sentence of 90 days, while defence lawyer Don Campbell asked for a sentence of between 14 and 45 days behind bars — time he wanted served on weekends. Campbell sought weekend jail in part, he said, because of fear for the man’s safety if he is placed in general prison population and the circumstances of his offence became known. Weekend jail inmates are generally kept separate from those serving straight time. Caputo argued prison officials have protocol to ensure an inmate’s safety. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison ordered the 30-day sentence to be served consecutively. “It was a moment of weakness — a criminal moment at that,” Harrison said. “She was someone who was in a vulnerable situation. She had reason to expect that she’d be safe with [the man]. It turned out that was not the case.” Once he is released from prison, the man will spend 18 months on probation, with orders barring him from contacting the victim and being alone with anyone under 16.

Barriere man has sexrelated charges stayed CAM FORTEMS

The Crown has stayed charges against a Barriere man accused of attempting to have sex with a 14-year-old girl. Prosecutor Abel Fok stayed the count of sexual interference against a minor following a half-day of testimony. Charges are typically stayed when the Crown determines it does not have enough evidence to proceed with the trial. The girl was 14 years old at the time. Her name is protected by a publication ban. KTW is not publishing the accused’s name in order to protect the identity of the girl. The man charged, who is 24 years old, met the girl one evening, she testified in provincial court.

For more court coverage, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the News tab. A friend of the man charged picked her up and the group went to a friend’s house to drink. Under federal law, the age of consent is 16. There is an exception for those close in age. The teenaged girl said age was never discussed between the two before they engaged in consensual touching following a drive to a rural area. They did not have sex because the man could not get aroused due to drinking too much. The next day, however, he sent her a sexually related message on

Facebook. The two later met, but there was no sexual talk or contact, she said. The interaction came to light several months later when the messages were found on a laptop computer and RCMP was contacted. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate asked the girl during cross-examination how she liked to portray herself using makeup and clothes. He asked her if people comment that she looks older than her actual age. “I get that quite often,” she said.

City, KGHM talks on Ajax deal at standstill ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Should Kamloops city council consider a community agreement with Ajax mine proponent KGHM cancelled or just on hold? The lack of a signed, finalized agreement with the mining company sparked debate at city hall Tuesday as councillors reviewed a pair of letters they will send to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO) and federal and provincial ministers of the environment, outlining mine-related concerns. KGHM wants to build a copper and gold mine just south of Aberdeen. The mine would have a lifespan of about 18 years. A final decision on the application is expected in November, with approval from both the provincial and federal governments needed for the mine to become a reality. When the city announced earlier this year it had reached an agreement in principle with KGHM, city CAO David Trawin told KTW there remained a few issues outstanding. They included an escalator clause for the payments of $3.8 million annually from the

company to the city — which could be based on the price of copper, inflation or another yet-to-be-determined metric — and a more detailed definition of “closure.” When city staff and the KGHM officials met to continue those discussions, Trawin said the city was told KGHM wanted to delay further talks until permits for the project were issued. “They basically said it doesn’t make sense to continue this until they know whether it’s going ahead or not,” Trawin said. The company also said it did not want any items in the agreement to contradict its environmental permits. KGHM made verbal commitments to return to discussions if its permit is approved, Trawin said. But some city councillors are skeptical the agreement will materialize, arguing the city should make it clear nothing has been signed and the blame lies with KGHM. Coun. Denis Walsh said the agreement isn’t legally binding. “It’s just a gentleman’s agreement and they look like they’re walking away from it again until they get a permit — and who knows if they’ll come back then?” Walsh said.

Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh said he expects KGHM will sign an agreement with the city if Ajax is approved, noting the company would otherwise face a backlash. That didn’t reassure Coun. Tina Lange. “I think it’s fair to say we don’t have a signed agreement because KGHM representatives did not sign it. End of story,” she said. “I think in the beginning, we had some good people there who were there in good faith. But we don’t know what’s happened at their head office in Poland.” “Some folks are making some assumptions here that I’m not willing to make,” Singh replied. The staff-prepared package calls the community agreement “tentative,” noting discussions with the mine are “at a standstill.” The report also criticizes the BCEAO for using an unsigned agreement as a basis for arguing the mine will have no effect on municipal infrastructure and other potential issues. A motion from Walsh to include more language about KGHM declining to sign the agreement was defeated by council on a tie vote.

The City of Kamloops is looking at the possiblity of putting a dome over Hillside Stadium’s field and track to allow year-round training by various sports teams. Said capital projects manager Darren Crundwell: “At this point, we are looking to find out how feasible it would be to construct this dome, in terms of budget, design and the business case for the facility. Once we have those details, we can investigate funding sources.”

Dome cost not yet known From A1

The cost of the dome project is yet to be determined, according to City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell. “There’s a number of things to look at: the electrical, the mechanical, the existing field itself and the drainage. I would hate to throw out numbers and that’s why we’re doing this study,” he said. But if the feasibility study shows a business case for the dome, Crundwell said, the city will look at partnerships to pay for it. “The city is not going into this alone,” he said. Thompson Rivers University athletic director Ken Olynyk has explored new facilities for the school’s teams before, but said he didn’t know about the city’s most recent endeavour. “A dome on a field like that would be great for recreation, for athletics, for the city. It would meet lots of needs — to

be able to be indoors from November to February is always good,” he told KTW. When asked if the dome would invite more opportunities for sports at the school, Olynyk mentioned the potential for a women’s rugby team, but said it probably wouldn’t mean anything for a football team. “I don’t personally see that as being an igniter for us to have football,” he said. “Now, my successor might.” Olynyk recently announced his retirement and will hand over the reins on Jan. 1. Kamloops Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo said year-round access a dome would provide would help keep the team competitive. “Having an indoor facility to train in through the winter would be fantastic. It would give us that much extra competitive edge against some of these teams. On the Coast, they’re practising all year-round,” he said. The city’s consulting project

has a budget of $140,000, a cost being shared with the university. The consultant’s work is expected to be completed by May 2018. Dialog Design Inc., the company behind Hillside Stadium’s original design, has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and San Francisco. The city said it chose the company without opening the process up for bids because Dialog is the only consulting company in Canada with experience in dome structures over sports fields. “They’ve done all the current multi-sport domes across Canada,” Crundwell said, listing the University of Alberta and University of Manitoba as the company’s recent projects. The notice also mentions Yeadon Domes, a company that has installed domes at universities across the United States, including at Harvard, Marquette, Arizona State, University of Minnesota and University of Pennsylvania.

$2.18 million for Heffley bridge ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new bridge in Heffley Creek will cost the city about $500,000 more than first estimated. Public works director Jen Fretz said staff had estimated the cost of the bridge on Old Highway 5 at $1.7 million, but the lowest bid on the project, submitted by Acres Enterprises, was $1.8 million. Once design, communications and contingency costs and other expenses

are added in, the revised budget for the bridge is $2.18 million. “We think that because there is so much work out there right now — which is a very good thing — we had some higher prices,” Fretz said. The bridge will replace a failed culvert, which washed out a large portion of the road during spring flooding. Fretz said staff opted for a bridge rather than a culvert replacement because it will be longer lasting and more difficult to block with debris.

She said it’s likely a culvert would have been more expensive than expected (a staff estimate was about $1.1 million) since earth-moving and removal costs, which were the most expensive part of the bridge bids, would still be required. The city is expecting about $1.1 million from the province’s disaster financial assistance program for the work. Fretz said construction will will take place this winter, with paving to begin once weather warms in spring.

VK: Developers eyeing Kamloops ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The head of Venture Kamloops says an advertising campaign to lure developers to Kamloops is generating interest in the Lower Mainland. Executive director Jim Anderson told council Tuesday that the economic development organization has been running the ad campaign at the behest of former mayor Peter Milobar. “He was very con-

cerned that Kamloops was a mystery to those in the Lower Mainland,” Anderson said. The city offered funding for special economic-development projects, in this case $40,000. Venture Kamloops also contributed a portion of its budget. Anderson said Venture Kamloops has created targeted advertising to developers online and in the Vancouver Sun, and said a website launched for developers had

about 750 hits in its first three months, attracting more than 80 per cent new visitors. So far, Anderson said, three developers have made or are planning to make visits to Kamloops this fall. “I just don’t think the developers we talk to realize they could make money in Kamloops. And that’s the message we’re putting forward to them. The returns are the same,” he said, adding many developers appear to have as many Lower Mainland

projects as they can handle and are looking for other options. Asked by Coun. Denis Walsh what the criteria for determining success or failure of the project will be, and on what timeline, Anderson said there isn’t a set term for the work. Financing for the project extends through at least next spring. “As long as we feel like the information and the effort is creating the discussion, we’ll continue,” Anderson said.

Add your ideas to the 2018 provincial budget If you have ideas for the province’s 2018 budget, mark Thursday, Oct. 12, on your calendar. The all-party select standing committee on finance and government services will be in Kamloops on that date as part of its tour of the province, soliciting feedback from residents. In addition to Kamloops — where the committee will meet at 8 p.m. in Salon A at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen — the committee will hold public hearings in a number of communities around the province: Surrey (Oct. 6), Richmond (Oct. 6),

Prince George (Oct. 10), Williams Lake (Oct. 11), Castlegar (Oct. 11), Cranbrook (Oct. 12), Kelowna (Oct. 13) and Nanaimo (Oct. 13.). The consultation will close at 5 p.m. on Oct. 16 and the committee will release its report by Nov. 15. There are a number of ways British Columbians can participate in the consultation, including presenting at a public hearing, making a written, audio or video submission, or completing an online survey. Participants can register online at www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/finance.

Clarification A story in the Oct. 3 edition of KTW on a phone scam included the phone number of the Canadian AntiFraud Centre, but the number was missing a digit. The correct

phone number of the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is 1-888-4958501. The scam involves someone cold-calling residences, posing as Canada Revenue Agency staffers and

demanding payment for taxes owed. Kamloops Mounties are reminding the public that Canada Revenue Agency employees do not call residents and communicate by mail.

Husband witnessed girl shot From A1

Carter said she called 911 from the port-a-potty and was told to stay put. Eventually, a firefighter showed up and escorted her and her friend, among others, to safety in a large room in the Tropicana Hotel. There, separated from her husband, Chad, Carter said she got a call on her cellphone from an unknown Idaho number. “I thought, ‘Maybe Chad borrowed a phone,’” she said. “I heard his voice. Then this guy came on and he said, ‘I have your husband here and he’s in

extreme shock. Where are you?’” Speaking to KTW from her hotel room late Monday night, Carter said her husband was still quite shaken up. “He saw bullets hitting the ground around him, he saw a girl get shot,” she said. “He saw everything. We only heard it.” Dunn said the experience left her feeling uneasy. “It was just sheer panic and fear,” she said. “It’s pretty intense, even the next day. “We’re all chilled. It’s not cold outside, but we’re all wearing pants and sweaters because

we’re all in shock.” Carter, who said she usually vacations in Vegas once or twice a year, said the experience Sunday has left her with mixed feelings. “It was just surreal,” she said. “We were just panicking. The fear of whether this is a real terrorist attack or what this was — it was just like, we’re not safe anymore.” “At first we all said we were never coming back any more. Now, we have mixed feelings. Vegas has always been our thing, but I think it will probably be a while before we come back.”

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

f you get the feeling your rising wages over the last decade aren’t keeping up with the cost of goods and services, you’re right. With Statistics Canada releasing its latest batch of data from the 2016 census, we find median household income in B.C. rose 12.6 per cent between 2005 and 2015. That parallels the B.C. increase of 12.2 per cent over that period. Sounds like good news, but the rate of inflation in B.C. over that decade was 18.9 per cent, more than 50 per cent higher than the jump in wages. So, how are we surviving? It is tough to say. Interest rates are considerably lower, so there’s that. But in what is described as a booming B.C. economy, clearly not enough is trickling down to the middle and lower classes. (The one-percenters, however, are still doing fine. One per cent of the population made more than $250,000 in 2015. That’s up one-third over 2005.) Those at the low end, and even much of the middle class, increasingly struggle due to the disparity in rising wages and inflation. Of course, the biggest hurdle in all of this is real estate and rental prices. Income may have risen 12.6 per cent, inflation may have been 18.9 per cent, but the price of the average house has gone up drastically in most markets, including Kamloops. The outgoing B.C. Liberal government touted balanced budgets and a strong economy as a reason to vote them in again. But even in the strong economy for which they took credit, many couldn’t find affordable housing and working-class wages remained stagnant. Time will tell if the recent change in government in Victoria — and tax changes in Ottawa — will help the trickle turn to a flow or, as the B.C. Liberals now in opposition claim, NDP policy will stifle the economy and we’ll all suffer more.

There was no second shooter

n Aug. 1, 1966, exmarine Charles Whitman climbed to the top of the clock tower at the University of Texas and proceeded to kill 11 people and wound 31, leaving his mark as the first mass shooter in modern U.S. history. Had social media existed back then, the bodies would still be lying on the sun-baked campus as conspiracy theorists claimed there was a second shooter in the tower and the mainstream media was covering up the truth. That’s the way it is today, with every tragedy hijacked by the Alex Jones community, who need to see a conspiracy behind every event because the obvious truth is too simple an explanation. In the aftermath of Sunday’s mass shooting in Las Vegas that claimed 59 lives and injured more than 500 others, the armchair analysts began barking online, using shaky cellphone video and a confusing cacophony of terror to assert there was a second shooter on the fourth floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. Wait, it was the sixth floor. Or maybe the 11th floor. It all depends on which conspiracy theorist’s posts you were reading. Then there were the wholly unverified claims the killer, Stephen Paddock, conducted the slaughter on behalf of ISIS. There is nothing to indicate he was killing on behalf of the extremist group, despite its debunked claim he was. But the most maddening aspect of the conspiracy crowd is the claim mainstream media knows about the second shooter and

MUSINGS

about the real facts behind the killings, but is in cahoots with government to hide the truth. Why? Well, one conspiracy theorist said the media and government are loath to reveal that a white American man, born and raised under the Stars and Stripes, could be part of a terrorist plot. Instead, the media and government conspired to write the “lone wolf” story. “It was a multi-terrorist attack and it was a local attack,” one skeptic posted on Facebook. “You think the media wants to label American-born/raised terrorism as terrorism? Fear of terrorism to the American people comes from outside sources. Inside sources are known as anything but.” That argument ignores a man named Timothy McVeigh, a white American who remains the most destructive homegrown terrorist to date. And McVeigh wasn’t “turned” by any foreign extremist group; he was an unstable powder keg set off by what he viewed as the government’s illegal attack on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Tex.,

where 76 people died on April 19, 1993. This mainstream media the conspiracy theorists denigrate is the same mainstream media whose reporters risked death to expose the harsh truth of the Vietnam War. This is the same mainstream media whose reporters risked imprisonment for daring to publish the Pentagon Papers, whose reporters brought down a corrupt sitting president. This the same mainstream media whose reporters to this day file copious amounts of freedomof-information requests to find out what government isn’t telling us. To lump the mainstream media in with an alleged government conspiracy is an insult to reporters everywhere and is merely an echo of the “false news” rhetoric bellowed daily by the man occupying the White House. In the Las Vegas shooting, as with most other such tragedies, Occam’s razor applies — the simplest explanation is usually the one that fits. However, because some of us simply cannot accept that members of our species sometimes go off the rails and do horrible things for reasons we will never know, they feel the need to replace that frustrating lack of knowledge with ridiculous conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact. Rather than waste time chasing false theories, we should be asking why the U.S. is alone in this world in laying claim to such horrifying massacres again and again and again. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CARPOOL OR USE TRANSIT PASS Editor: Re: The Oct. 3 article on the issue of parking at Thompson Rivers University and students parking in lots of Sahali Mall (‘Safeway cracks down on TRU parking’): While I empathize with students who still mandate in their lives the concept of one student-one car, I believe they need to rethink their selfishness and consider several options available to them. One option is carpooling — the more students in the car, the less individual cost for parking. This means less incoming traffic to TRU and less congestion. Another option is the fact each student at TRU pays for a semester transit pass in their fees. Use those passes. These are simple solutions to the issue and I agree with businesses that wish to protect their customers’ right to go shopping and have adequate parking. Arnie Kidner Kamloops

CONCERN FOR STEELHEAD STOCKS Editor: Earlier this year, the provincial government disclosed the worldrenowned Thompson River steelhead had returned in their lowest numbers ever — a mere 254 steelhead. Historically, it’s thought as many as 10,000 steelhead migrated to the Thompson each year. Thompson steelhead are one of six endangered steelhead stocks, collectively known as Interior Fraser steelhead (IFS), that migrate to a vast area in the Interior of B.C. each fall. IFS are thought to be genetically unique to B.C., having originated from the Columbia River system after the last ice age.

All other B.C. steelhead are believed to have originated from Haida Gwaii stocks. This genetic distinction explains the steelhead’s greater size and relative strength so highly prized among sport fishers. Each fall, while IFS migrate from the ocean to their natal streams to procreate in the following spring, they are intercepted in myriad fisheries along the B.C. and Alaska coast that seek more numerous salmon stocks. While degraded ocean and freshwater habitats have played a part in this precarious situation, at this point the over-riding objective among fisheries conservationists is to ensure as

many IFS adults as possible return to spawn. This means closing fisheries, something the federal government, which has jurisdiction over salmon fisheries, has recently indicated it is not prepared to do. While Canada has species at risk laws the process is slow, cumbersome and fraught with political peril. IFS will likely become a species at risk candidate, but it could take up to four years for an “endangered” recommendation. For IFS, time appears to grow short while governments dither. Greg Gordon Tobiano

B.C. NDP HAS THE MORE EQUITABLE PLAN Editor: Kamloops-Thompson MLA and former transportation minister Todd Stone recently released a YouTube video, reported on by KTW, CKNW and others, in which he said: “Political parties should be expected to stand on their own and be supported by those who want to support them, not by taxpayers.” Oddly, Stone did not raise any protests when fellow B.C. Liberal minister Andrew Wilkinson announced an increase in government advertising funding to $15 million last December, all supporting the B.C. Liberal government just

months before the May election. The recent NDP announcement using $16 million of taypayers’ money over four years to support all parties in the next election is more equitable, contributing equally to the Liberals and the New Democrats, and less to the Greens, all based on a propotion of votes each party received in the May election. The new four-year plan is also more appropriate than spending $15 million for the benefit of one party months before an election. For those of who believe Stone is being sincere in his

complaint, please remember he and his party still have the promise of five major LNG plants, trillions in LNG revenue and a $100-million to $260-million prosperity fund to sell you. It is the same promise former premier Christy Clark and the Liberals successfully sold the province in the 2013 throne speech. John Sternig Heffley Creek

Learn about Islam at Oct. 14 event DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When six people were murdered earlier this year at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City, Kamloopsians stepped up to express their anger. They also made clear their support of the city’s Muslim community, gathering at the Ayesha Mosque in Knutsford for a prayer service and sharing through online — and personal — methods their outrage at the shootings and their support of their Muslim neighbours. Umme Mansoory expects to see that spirit again as the Kamloops Islamic

Association brings renowned scholar Aasim Rashid to the city to speak on the title topic Islam and Muslims — Peace, War or Terror. After the January shootings, Rashid spoke out, saying most Canadians don’t feel antagonism toward Muslims. However, Mansoory said, there are people who don’t understand the religion and for what it stands. Rashid will talk about that during the 45-minute lecture at the Grand Hall on Thompson Rivers University’s campus. Rashid, a former mufti — a scholar who interprets Islamic law — has spoken in public often on the tenets of

his faith and how they have been twisted by others into something that doesn’t reflect their true beliefs. Mansoory said the event, the first major public educational session the local association has organized, results from those misunderstandings of the religion billions around the world practice. “We want to share with others what we believe in and why,” she said, describing her faith as one that “promotes peace.” The Saturday, Oct. 14, event begins at 6 p.m. and is expected to end at 8 p.m. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m. and is also online at www.learnislam.eventbrite.com.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government is reviewing its handling of refugee claims following revelations that a Somali man accused in attacks in Edmonton had been ordered deported from the United States. According to Trudeau, the government is trying to find out what happened with the case of Abdulahi Hasan Sharif. The Canadian government has said that Sharif presented himself at a regular port of entry in 2012 and was cleared as a refugee in Canada. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says that Sharif was transferred into its custody at a detention center in San Diego in July 2011 and was ordered removed to Somalia that September. About two months later, he was released on an order of supervision in San Diego but failed to report on his scheduled date in January 2012. Trudeau says Canada is looking into what happened and whether things need to be done differently than they were in 2012. “It’s certain that we have asylum processes that need to be followed rule by rule when someone presents themselves at our border,” he said in Ottawa on Wednesday. “We have rules to follow and we make sure those rules are followed. “The priority is always making sure we’re defending the values and rights of Canadians while keeping our communities safe.’’ Sharif is facing 11 charges, including five of attempted murder, that were laid after a driver hit an Edmonton police officer with a speeding car, stabbed him and then mowed down pedestrians with a cube van during a downtown chase. Tactical officers forced the van on its side and arrested a suspect after using a stun grenade and a Taser.

Sharif also faces charges of dangerous driving, criminal flight causing bodily harm

Trump meets with victims of Las Vegas shooting President calls it ‘a very, very sad day’ and tells reporters investigators ‘learning a lot more’ about shooter CATHERINE LUCEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — U.S. President Donald Trump met privately with victims of the Las Vegas shooting at a hospital Wednesday after he touched down in a city still reeling from the worst gun massacre in modern U.S. history. Air Force One landed at the airport near the famed Las Vegas strip on a bright, sunny morning just days after a gunman on the 32nd floor of a hotel and casino opened fire on people at an outdoor country music festival below. The Sunday night rampage killed at least 59 people — including four Canadians — and injured 527, some from gunfire and some from a chaotic escape. “It’s a very sad thing. We are going to pay our respects and to see the police who have done really a fantastic job in a very short time,’’ Trump told reporters before departing the White House. He said authorities were “learning a lot more’’ about the shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Craig Paddock, and more details would be “announced at an appropriate time.’’ “It’s a very, very sad day for me personally,’’ he said.

FBI questions mass shooter’s girlfriend LAS VEGAS — Investigators are reconstructing the life and recent activities of the Las Vegas shooter who killed 59 people — but still have not concluded what motivated retired accountant and highstakes gambler Stephen Paddock to commit the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history. An official said Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, was being interviewed at the bureau’s field office in Los Angeles and had an attorney with her. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press

ing rampage, their families, and medical professionals. On his trip from the airport, the president’s motorcade drove past the Mandalay Bay hotel where the gunman fired down into the concert crowd. The president also drove past his own Trump hotel. Trump’s trip to Las Vegas follows his Tuesday travel to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico — a pair of back-to-back episodes that are testing his ability to unite and lift the nation in times of strife. Trump, a leader who excels at political provocation and prides himself on commanding strength, has sometimes struggled to proj-

on condition of anonymity. Danley, 62, returned to the U.S. on Tuesday night from the Philippines after a weekslong trip PADDOCK abroad. Authorities said Paddock planned the attack methodically, not only stockpiling nearly two dozen guns in his hotel room but setting up cameras in the peephole and on a service cart outside

ect empathy following previous events and disasters. During Tuesday’s trip, he highlighted Puerto Rico’s relatively low death toll compared with “a real catastrophe like Katrina,’’ when as many as 1,800 people died in 2005 as levees protecting New Orleans broke. He also pointed repeatedly to praise his administration had received for its efforts, despite criticism on the island of a sluggish response. Trump has a long personal connection to Las Vegas — a city where his name is written in huge golden letters atop his hotel. He

his door, apparently to watch for police coming for him. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, speaking at a cybersecurity forum Wednesday in Boston, said investigators are busy “reconstructing the life, the behaviour, the pattern of activity of this individual and anyone and everyone who may have crossed his path in the days and the weeks leading up to this horrific event.’’ McCabe was also asked whether investigators had determined why Paddock carried out the attack. “We are not there yet,” he said. — The Associated Press

also campaigned extensively across Nevada during his presidential campaign, drawing large crowds to rallies along the Las Vegas strip. Trump told reporters Tuesday night his trip would include spending time with “some of the folks that are recovering, some of the survivors,’’ and seemed emotional as he spoke about the human toll. “We’re going to be seeing — ah it’s a very, it’s very, it’s a very — horrible thing, even to think about. Really horrible,’’ he said. “We’re also meeting with the police, the sheriff, and we’re going

to spend quite a lot of time in Las Vegas.’’ Trump was joined by first lady Melania Trump. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he and Rep. Mark Amodei, a Nevada Republican, also would make the trip. Trump offered sombre remarks about the shooting from the White House on Monday, saying “our unity cannot be shattered by evil, our bonds cannot be broken by violence.’’ Republicans who control Congress have made clear they have no intention of taking up gun control measures, such as tightening restrictions on semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, in the shooting’s aftermath. Trump, in a 2000 book, said he supported a prohibition on assault weapons and a “slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.’’ He also said in 2013 that he supported “background checks to weed out the sickos.’’ But Trump ran his campaign with a strong pro-Second Amendment message and the backing of the National Rifle Association. On Tuesday, Trump appeared somewhat open to having a debate on guns, but not anytime soon. “At some point, perhaps, that will come,’’ he told reporters. “But that’s not for now.’’

Spain plunged into crisis; Catalonia mulls secession THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Extremism creates fear, which in turn gives rise to racial intolerance, leaving Canadians angry and confused. The religion of Islam is at the very core of this controversy today. We as Canadians deserve a clear look at what this religion has to say about the conditions at hand.

MADRID — Catalonia’s regional government mulled Wednesday when to declare the region’s independence from Spain, with some lawmakers saying it would happen Monday, and Spanish stocks sunk as the country grappled with its most serious national crisis in decades. A top European Union official said Spain and Catalonia must talk with each other, even if Catalan authorities broke the law with an unauthorized independence vote. Catalonia’s regional president, Carles Puigdemont, who has said an independence declaration will come in a few days, was to deliver a televised speech later Wednesday. He is also addressing the regional parliament Monday to review the disputed vote last Sunday — a session that his parliamentary supporters in the radical CUP group say will consider the independence declaration. Spain, which has declared the referendum illegal and invalid, is bitterly opposed to any independence move.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s conservative government has said it will respond with “all necessary measures’’ to counter Catalan defiance and is holding talks with opposition leaders in Madrid to forge a consensus over what to do. Led by losses for the two main Catalan banks, Spain’s main stock market index lost almost three percentage points in Wednesday’s trading amid uncertainty over how the secession bid proceeds. Other Spanish banks, telecommunications giant Telelefonica, fashion retailer Inditex and leading energy companies Repsol, Iberdrola and Gas Natural also suffered significant losses. The crisis in Spain grew more acute Sunday when some 900 people needed medical attention after police cracked down to try to prevent the vote. Over 400 police officers also suffered minor injuries. On Tuesday, huge crowds held street protests in Catalonia and unions staged a strike to protest the police’s actions. European leaders have sided with Spain while calling for dialogue.

Dormer memories alive in Valleyview park NEW PLAYGROUND REBUILT WITH BCAA PLAY HERE CONTEST FUNDS TO RETAIN MEMORIAL NAME SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Julie Dormer looked around this past weekend and saw volunteers and community members coming together to build a new playground at Marion Schilling elementary, it wasn’t for the first time. Julie’s nine-year-old brother, Stephen, and his friend, Toby Love, were killed in a car accident in Valleyview in May 1983. The tragedy of having two young boys from the same school killed in one accident was a shock to the community. “The two boys — it’s not so much as they were popular, it’s just that everybody knew them. It was really close to home in the sense that nothing like that ever happened to anybody,” Julie said. “It was a great loss, a great shock.” In response, the community came together to remember Stephen and the

original playground at Marion Schilling was created, with money, materials and labour being sourced from various people. “Our family wanted to do something in memory of him, something that was STEPHEN DORMER all about him, that screamed his name and brought the community together and showed the things that he loved,” Julie said. The park included the usual playground fare, including giant tires, tire swings, wooden bridges, swing sets and even a climbing tree, which Stephen had an unknowing hand in choosing. John Dormer, father of Stephen and Julie and Kamloops mayor from 1986 to 1988, spoke with reporter Jody Paterson of the Kamloops Sentinel for the Oct. 16, 1983,

edition of the newspaper. “On the day of the accident, Stevie was telling me that he knew where we could get our firewood for the year; there was an old dead tree he always played on,” John told the Sentinel. So, when Stephen’s father heard the park needed a playing tree, he knew just where to look. “A guy from Okanagan Helicopter phoned and said, ‘Where’s the tree and how big is it?’ We went out in the biggest helicopter I’ve ever seen and he airlifted this tree into my backyard until we can get to the playground. That’s the way the whole thing has been going,” John recalled in the Sentinel. Sadly, John didn’t get to see the new park completed this past weekend. He died in April. But when the park was first built, Julie recalled how her father felt about the dedication and community involvement. “He was thrilled because it exemplified community. It was everything my brother was. I know everybody puts a person on a pedestal once they’ve passed, but he really was the little kid who opened doors for

people,” Julie said. “He was a big-hearted kid that did anything for everybody and this park brought people together, which is the perfect thing to memorialize him.” The new playground will retain the Stephen Dormer Memorial Park name and a cairn built by the Kinsmen service group. Kinsmen members and Marion Schilling students of the day each contributed one rock to build the memorial cairn. A library award was also created in memory of Toby Love, which is still awarded today. The park, which Julie said the school’s parent advisory council has long been trying to rebuild, was made possible by a $100,000 prize from the BCAA Play Here contest. Last weekend, dozens of volunteers, including 20 BCAA staffers, came together to build the park. A commemorative plaque, embedded in the cairn in 1983, reads: “He had a smile sincere and true. He was a friend to all he knew. To Stephen from all your friends. October 26, 1983.”

The Kamloops Thompson Nicola School District is accepting nominations for its annual Owl Award, which recognizes outstanding service in education. “It’s the work done by these special people — often selflessly and with no desire for recognition — that inspires us to truly believe in the power of education,” said SD73 board chair Meghan Wade. The award recognizes an individual, group or organization for contributions via teaching, athletics, fine arts, community wellbeing and partnerships, extra or co-curricular learning, administration and support and governance. Nominees should have made significant,

system-wide contributions in SD73 over at least five years or more, impacting students, parents, teachers, support staff and educational leaders. Chris Rose and the Kamloops North Rotary Club are among past recipients. Nominations must include a nomination form (available online at sd73.bc.ca), three letters of support, curriculum vitae and a maximum two-page description of contributions. A review team, consisting of community members, the superintendent and a representative of the board of education, will review the nominations and make a recommendation to the board. Nominations will be accepted until Oct. 31.

ave you ever had a Sliding Doors moment that you look back on in your life? By Sliding Doors, I am referring to the 1998 movie starring Gwyneth Paltrow. The premise of the flick shows two alternative parallels. Her character gets fired and rushes out of work to catch a subway home. Scenario 1: She gets on the train and comes home to find her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Scenario 2: She misses the train and arrives home after the woman has left. In the first situation, the movie shows her dumping her boyfriend and eventually finding a new man as she gradually improves her life. In second situation, she becomes suspicious about his fidelity and grows miserable. There are many moments in our lives when even making a small decision could change completely the direction of our lives. For example, deciding between two universities, or which job to take, or deciding not to get in a car with a drunk driver. All of those decisions could result in a completely different outcome on where life takes us. This week, I received a message

Kamloops Pride is launching a new choir this week as a way to offer more events for LGBTQ+ youth. “We’ve been hearing from some of our younger community members that we need more events that aren’t 19-plus,” said Kamloops Pride president Kirstin McLaughlin. But Kamloops Pride Choir isn’t only for youngsters. The dropin sessions, which begin on Thursday, are aimed at singers of all ages and skill levels. Rachel Casponi, who also conducts the Kamloops Choristers, will lead musical scores. “It’s meant to be community building,” McLaughlin said. “It’s meant to be fun.” There is no cost to participants, thanks to funding from a Seeds

MORTGAGE MATTERS Mortgage Features 101 When shopping for a mortgage, most consumers believe securing the best interest rate is their rst priority. However, obtaining the best rate does not always ensure you get the best mortgage! A good approach is to look at the individual features of the mortgage as well. Here are some questions you need to ask: 1. Is my mortgage assumable? A few years from now, you could decide to sell your home. At that time, a lowrate mortgage could become an extra selling point. If your mortgage is assumable, (meaning it can be transferred to another borrower), it can allow the purchaser to take on your mortgage’s terms and payments as part of the sale. This can be an attractive incentive, particularly if rates increase down the road. 2. What are my penalties for early repayment? When choosing a mortgage, keep in mind that penalties are often the equivalent of three months’ mortgage payments, or an interest rate differential calculation, which is the difference between your current rate and the new rate. Penalty calculations vary with lenders, so add penalty to your considerations when choosing a mortgage. 3. What are my pre-payment privileges? Pre-paying a portion of your mortgage balance penalty free can add up to huge savings over the term of your mortgage. However, these privileges will vary by lender. Some lenders will allow you to double up payments periodically, or make lump-sum payments of up to 20 per cent of the principal once a year. When negotiating your mortgage, make sure you understand the size and frequency of payments your lender allows. 4. Do I need a skip-a-payment option? Some lenders offer an option to skip a payment without penalty, which may come in handy in a time of need. 5. Is my mortgage portable? Many mortgages have a portability feature that allows you to transfer your existing mortgage over to a new property, but not all portability terms are the same. Some lenders allow as long as 120 days to transfer the mortgage, but others only allow for a few days or a week. Find out which rules apply to you. Choosing the right mortgage involves considering all the features of a mortgage, not just rate. Working with a mortgage professional can help you make sense of the many options available to you. For a free consultation about your mortgage needs, 250-682-6077, or by e-mail at steve.bucher@migroup.ca, or visit www.mortgagebuilder.ca.

uman skeletal remains are a very direct and substantial link to past human occupation in a way everyone can understand — and there is much to learn through osteological analysis, or the study of bones. Everything from a basic inventory, where we determine presence/absence of various elements, or bones, to DNA studies, to a variety of carbon-based tests, can answer a multitude of questions we may not have even known to ask. Every osteological assessment begins with a straightforward, although not necessarily easy, exercise of conducting an inventory — a presence/absence of all the bones that should be present. Based on this inventory, and by examining certain variables, or “markers” on the skeleton, an osteologist can often determine an individual’s sex, age at death, stature, if they suffered specific types of trauma and/or disease and if those traumas or diseases occurred before, during or after death. Sometimes, analysis stops here, but in other circumstances, further study is conducted. While no means an exhaustive list, isotope analysis is commonly employed. Carbon 13, or C13, is a stable isotope utilized to determine the proportions of different types of plant material consumed.

It can also aid in determining the consumption of marine (sea-based) versus terrestrial (inland-based) food in a person’s diet. Carbon 14, or C14, is an unstable isotope used in a process commonly known as radio-carbon dating. C14 is a radioactive isotope present in organic material and it has a predictable half-life. By measuring the amount of C14 left in bone and comparing that to the known rate of decay, we can determine approximately how many years ago an individual died. As personal example, I examined skulls for evidence of brain tumours from skeletal collections dating from medieval and postmedieval periods in England. It’s not a disease that is commonly found, or searched for, in skeletal collections. My

research indicated that more than 10 per cent of the large skeletal collections showed evidence of brain tumours, a relatively shocking number. Keep in mind, these were not necessarily terminal, or even malignant, tumours. But it provided an unexpected answer and certainly raised more questions that could be important for medical considerations in today’s populations. To bring it closer to home, there is an archeological burial site east of Kamloops that some readers may be familiar with: Gore Creek Man. This man’s remains were found eroding out of the creek bank several decades ago. Through a series of studies, we were able to learn a great deal both about this individual

man and also about the wider group of First Nations people that lived in the Thompson Valley at the time. Through inventory and analysis, we learned Gore Creek Man was in his late 20s or early 30s when he died. He stood approximately 5-foot-6 and likely perished in a mud slide or flash flood before coming to rest in the creek channel. C13 studies told us he had an almost totally terrestrial diet, although there were enough marine markers to indicate he had eaten seafood at some point in his life likely from spawning salmonid species in the river. Perhaps most remarkably, C14 studies showed Gore Creek Man lived, and died, more than 8,000 years ago, an almost unfathomable number. But it aligns with what First Nations people have told through oral histories — that they have lived here for time immemorial. There is not enough space here to start a discussion about the ethics and cultural sensitivities surrounding the science of studying human remains, and there are as many opinions about what constitutes the “right” thing to do as there are individuals involved in the study of osteology. Whatever the opinion, however, there is indeed a great deal to be learned from our ancestors. Kim Christenson is an archeologist. Interested in more? Go online to republicofarchaeology.ca.

The Camaro strikes again in 2017 DAVID CHAO

SPECIAL TO KTW

The Camaro has been the allAmerican answer to Ford Mustang since 1967. Available in many variations, the Camaro has been capturing the hearts of muscle-car fans with rear wheel drive configuration and raw power. The Chevrolet Camaro is a name with heritage, and with heritage comes great responsibility to stand up to its competitors. The Camaro’s position is to be the traditional muscle car solution to those who are looking for amazing performance and nostalgic design. DESIGN The Camaro is the little brother to the Corvette in Chevrolet’s hierarchy, and there is an obvious resemblance. This sixth-generation Camaro is smaller than the previous version and more athletic. Its bodywork features a fastback profile and beefed-up quarter panels, creating a stance that owns the road. The current generation of Camaro is built on smaller, lighter architecture than the previous generation. New for 2017 is the available 1LE handling package; it’s offered on V-8 and V-6 models with the manual transmission. The 1LE offers improved handling, revised cooling, upgraded suspension tuning, Brembo brake components, a limited-slip differential, 20-inch forged-aluminium wheels, and better aerodynamics. 2017 also brings us the Camaro ZL1 with a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 and available 10-speed automatic transmission. Celebrating the Camaro’s 50th anniversary, Chevrolet has released a special edition package featuring unique colors, interior

details, and badging last year. PERFORMANCE Four different engines are available for the 2017 Camaro — and while your heart may sing for the V8 — your best option may be based on your budget and performance aspirations. The starting point is the 275-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder, which comes with the LT model variant. This will transport you from 0-100km/h in mere 6.4 seconds. A 335-horsepower V6 is also available for the LT version, but if muscle is your game you may want to consider the V8 options, starting with the naturally aspirated 455-horsepower 6.2-litre (available in the SS). The ultimate Camaro is the ZL1, which has a 650-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-litre V8; it’s the most powerful production Camaro to date. It will

break the 100 km/h barrier in 3.6 seconds from a standstill. For shifting traditionalists, the Camaro’s six-speed manual transmission moves cleanly and with accuracy. An eight-speed automatic transmission is also available in the LT and SS trims with lightning fast shifting thanks to paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The ZL1 can be equipped with either a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission. ENVIRONMENT The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro is a four seater, with a very limited rear space. The front seats are well bolstered and comfortable for long trips and daily driving. The rearward visibility is terrible but this is not a practical car by any stretch of mind. Climbing into the interior of the Camaro brings the muscle car

experience; the analogue gauges are set within the angular driver’s console, and the trim rings double as climate controls. The trunk capacity of a Camaro coupe is 9.1 cubic feet, and the convertible version has a 7.3 cubic foot trunk. The trunk can comfortably fit two medium sized suitcases and a few small bags, enough for a road trip or trip to the airport. Folding the rear seats down does open up a bit more space, but this is not an option in the convertible as the rear seats are fixed upright. The Camaro uses the Mylink infotainment system, which comes with a standard 7-inch touch screen or an 8-inch screen. Apps like Spotify and iHeartRadio are integrated into your car with the help of Apple CarPlay and

Android Auto. Bluetooth, satellite radio, and two USB ports are standard. The system is easy to use and intuitive, the display is also very crisp and gives the cabin a modernized feel. FEATURES The Chevrolet Camaro starts at $29,395 and ranges to $69,300 for the ZL1. The 2017 Camaro is available in four trims, the LS, LT, SS, and the ZL1 — each has a different standard engine. The LT and SS trims are further broken down into two different levels, the basic option is denoted by a “1” before the trim and the higher “2” version. Both 2LT and 2SS models can be ordered as a 50th Anniversary Edition. Highlights include identifying badges and trim, a front splitter, orange brake calipers, Nightfall Grey Metallic paint, upgraded brakes and the RS package. Standard safety equipment in the Camaro includes a rearview camera. Available safety options include rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, and blind zone monitoring. Fuel efficiency numbers for the Camaro range from (L/100km) 10.9 for the city and 7.7 highway (2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder) to 16.8 for the city and 11.8 highway (6.8 litre supercharged V-8). THUMBS UP Delivers traditional muscle car feel with raw power. THUMBS DOWN Challenging outward visibility, narrow trunk access and pointless rear seating. THE BOTTOM LINE Featuring more powerful V6 and V8 engines than its rivals, the Camaro still stands as one of the best remaining pony cars.

rody Israel’s face lit up when talking about the opportunity to play quarterback in his senior year for the South Kamloops Titans. He couldn’t wait to square off against the rival Blue Wave under the lights at Westsyde secondary on Oct. 13 and was champing at the bit to see action this Friday in Week 1 of the B.C. Secondary Schools Football Association regular season. “It’s all you can ask for,” Israel told KTW. “I love playing under those lights.” But in a cruel twist of fate that could have been penned by diabolical Friday Night Lights screenwriters, he broke his collarbone in a 23-0 loss to Rutland in exhibition play last Friday. Israel is not expected to play a down this season. “Injuries happen, but it’s heartbreaking for a kid who has worked his whole life to be the starting quarterback at South Kamloops,” Titans’ head coach JP Lancaster said. “He’s the biggest fan and student of the game. He’s accepted what happened. He can’t change it. He’s helping us watch film now. That’s the kind of kid he is.” The Titans, the class of Kamloops last season, will be hard-pressed to remain on top in 2017. Across the city, the Blue Wave’s starting pivot, Devon Konst, has turned heads in exhibition play, along with the rest of his teammates. Konst has thrown six touchdown passes and added one rushing major to pace the Blue Wave to a perfect 3-0 pre-season record, establishing Westsyde as the team to beat in the Tournament Capital.

LISA VANDERVELDE/BLACK PRESS

“It’s good to play for this team right now,” Konst said. “We’ve got more receivers that really stepped it up this year. We’re more of a passing team. “The rivalries add joy to the game. They’ve been around a long time. My coaches even know about them.” South Kam, Westsyde and Valleyview play in the Okanagan AA Varsity Conference, along with the Vernon Panthers and Clarence Fulton Maroons of Vernon. The Panthers, who posted a 4-0 record and won the division last year, are the favourite again in 2017. Clarence Fulton was runnerup in 2016, posting a 3-1 mark to snare the division’s second and final provincial playoff spot. The Maroons earned a key overtime win over the Titans en route to the post-season. “It’s the three of us,” Westsyde coach Cory Bymoen said, referencing the Blue Wave, Panthers

and Maroons. “You’ve got to beat one of the two to get in [to the playoffs]. Ideally, you want to beat them both, but they’re good.” In 2013, South Kam’s football program folded and numbers were down across the city. Only Valleyview is struggling to find bodies this season, with about 36 players combined on the senior and junior squads. “We’ve got a lot of new players learning the game and they seem to be enjoying it,” Valleyview coach Jonathan Michel said. “As a coach, you want to win, but with a young team, you just want them to develop and have fun.” Running back Evan Guizzo, among the most talented players in Kamloops, is expected to lead the Vikings, along with Ben Prokopetz and twin brothers Cody and Kyle Watt. Konst said to watch out for Blue Wave receiver Connor McCoy and Bymoen noted Westsyde is boasting thick-bodied linemen,

hogs who can win at the line of scrimmage. Lancaster, in his first year as head coach of the senior team at South Kam, is changing the Titans’ philosophy. “We had two or three guys who could keep South Kam in the ball game last year, but the process wasn’t quite there,” he said, noting Eric Kim and Tak Cox are among the Titans’ leaders this season. “We loaded up, we had thought, with [graduated quarterback] Ben MacDonald’s senior class last year, thinking we were going to do some damage, but it ended up being a bit of a bust, not even making the playoffs. “We won two ball games last year. That was a complete failure for the team that we had. We need to play as 11 guys.” Jordan Mariona, a Grade 12 senior, will likely handle the bulk of the snaps under centre for South Kam, with Grade 10 Eric Crawford also expected to see

action at quarterback. The Blue Wave will not be playing home games at Hillside Stadium this season, instead opting to play on campus at Westsyde. “We’re not doing them up in the stadium any more,” Bymoen said. “It doesn’t work for us. We’re going to stay in the community.” In 2016, Valleyview scored its only victory in a 1-3 campaign against Westsyde in the Friday Night Lights game, a 13-12 overtime thriller. The Blue Wave finished the campaign 0-4, while South Kam posted a 2-2 mark. It seems Westsyde is poised to take the football throne in Kamloops this year, but the Titans aren’t planning on rolling over. “They think that this is a year they can beat us, so no surprise why they’ve scheduled us there [for the Friday Night Lights game on Oct. 13],” Lancaster said. “There’s some bad blood, for sure, but we’ll get up for that game. “It’s great to have a healthy, competitive rivalry again, but beyond that, the hope is that the level in Kamloops is getting better because it’s been two-tiered, with the Vernon schools then us.” Two games will be played this Friday at Hillside. South Kam opens the regular season with a pivotal matchup against Clarence Fulton at 5 p.m, a rematch of the game that decided the second playoff spot last season. The loser this year will find it tough to qualify for the post-season. Valleyview is scheduled to play host to Rutland in exhibition play at 7:30 p.m. Westsyde will find out in a hurry how it stacks up against the Interior’s best, with the Panthers set to host the Blue Wave in league play on Friday. “They’re legit, one of the best programs in B.C.,” Bymoen said. “The conference is probably the strongest it’s been in 10 years.”

Lachlann Lincoln braces for the turf in Kelowna, where the hometown Lions knocked off the Kamloops Broncos in three Southern Interior Football Conference games.

Kluber won’t take mound in Game 1

MELISA DYCK PHOTO

CLEVELAND — Corey Kluber has been relieved already. The Indians will open the playoffs with their ace on hold. Instead of starting their Cy Young Award favourite in Game 1 of the AL Division Series, the defending league champions will pitch Trevor Bauer on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Kluber, who has been baseball’s most dominant pitcher for months, is scheduled to start Game 2. Manager Terry Francona said part of his decision to go with the rubber-armed Bauer in the opener is so he can use his best pitcher — Kluber — in a potential Game 5 of the best-of-five series. “I think on a number of reasons it makes good sense,’’ Francona said Tuesday before the Yankees beat Minnesota in the AL wild-card game. “Not that you go into a game thinking you’re going to lose, but if you do, you have your ace coming back. The biggest thing was keeping him on his five-day [schedule]. That was really important to Kluber. That was really the only way we could do it. “Again, you don’t want to put the cart ahead of the horse, but if you’re fortunate enough to win in four, you have your ace ready for the next series.’’ The decision to go with Bauer over Kluber — or even ahead of scheduled Game 3 starter Carlos Carrasco — is curious on a number of levels. Kluber has been overpowering this season, going 18-4 with a 2.25 ERA on his way to perhaps his second Cy Young Award. The right-hander went 5-0 with a 0.84 ERA in six September starts and would seem to give the Indians their best chance to win. But Francona is more concerned with giving his ace normal rest, and with off days after Games 2 and 4, Kluber will have his usual recovery time between starts. The move seems risky and could backfire if the Indians drop the opener, but Francona isn’t worried about Bauer, who last year nearly cost Cleveland in the AL Championship Series after he cut his finger while fixing a drone. “The growth he’s made, not just being a teammate but as a pitcher, he’s come a long way and we’re proud of him,’’ Francona said. “And he’s continuing to work and he takes feedback, he asks for feedback. Trevor’s done a heck of a job. I mean, for him to get the ball in Game 1 speaks volumes.”

But Rizzo said Wednesday that Scherzer will definitely pitch in the NL Division Series, despite tweaking his right hamstring in his last

Rizzo said during a workout at Nationals Park that the team wants Scherzer “as close to 100 per cent as we can get him.’’ Asked whether it’s safe to assume that Stephen Strasburg will pitch in Game 1, Rizzo said that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Enduro season produced winners from Kamloops MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ted Morton can breathe a sigh of relief and reflect on another year of enduro mountain bike racing. The owner-operator of the Canadian National Enduro Series (CNES) and BC Enduro Series (BCES) had his hands full with 12 races this year. Enduro riders are timed only on their descents, usually between four to six of them at each event, and are given about six-and-a-half hours to complete the race. “It’s basically to find out who is the best overall mountain biker,” Morton said. “Picture the toughness of a cross-country race, so people are on course for four to five hours, and the technical abilities of a downhill race. “A lot of riders don’t want to take too long on course. The longer you take on course, the more tired you get throughout the day. It’s that balance — how hard do you push on the climb, so you have enough energy for the descents?” Morton mentioned several Kamloops riders who seem to have it figured out. Johnny Helly had an outstanding season, winning the under-15 CNES title and the BCES East and West championships, while older brother Jeremy placed third overall in the under21 BCES West standings. Their father, Frank Helly, competing in the 40-plus division, placed second overall on the national series, first in B.C. East and third in B.C. West. “They’re a family of absolute crushers,” Morton said, noting Sue Helly, Johnny and Jeremy’s mother, was named

East. “He poured his heart and soul into it,” said Morton, noting Pont took part in a training program put together by Keith Wilson, husband to Olympic bronze medallist cross-country rider Catharine Pendrel. “He raced, was a course marshall and did first aid for us.” The Helly brothers belong to the 12-person under-21 Blueprint Canadian Enduro Development Team. “We help them to be better athletes and give them a

stepping stone because the discipline is not sanctioned by Cycling Canada, so there’s no funding available,” Morton said. Blueprint team members have potential to do well on the CNES series, on which they can compile qualification points required to compete on the Enduro World Series circuit. “Growth has been consistent,” said Morton, who took the BC Series reins in 2015 and established the national series in 2016. “The national series is growing faster now with events in Ontario and Quebec.” Find out more about the series online at bcenduro.com or email Morton at ted@bcenduro. com.

THURSDAY

STEVEN STAMKOS: The Tampa Bay Lightning captain was a point-a-game player before his horrific knee injury last season. If he returns to form, they’ll be scary. NEW GOALIES: Carolina has Scott Darling, Dallas has Ben Bishop, Calgary has Mike Smith and all should be better for it, while it remains to be seen with Antti Raanta in Arizona.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS: Adding Patrick Marleau gives a muchneeded veteran presence to a youth-laden team that has designs on not simply making the playoffs, but winning several rounds. JACK EICHEL: Having put contract talks behind him after agreeing to an eightyear, $80-million contract extension on Tuesday, it’s now on the Buffalo Sabres’ franchise player to begin performing to expectations — the team’s and his own. Eichel acknowledged his first two NHL seasons were “mediocre.’’ MONTREAL CANADIENS: While much of the NHL is trending toward youth and speed, can the Habs continue winning with an aging, plodding lineup that relies on size and the performance of goalie Carey Price? CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS: After hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2015 for the third time in a six-year stretch of success, was

GOLDEN ERA: The expansion Vegas Golden Knights open their inaugural season and it will be interesting to see how Las Vegas embraces its first major professional sports franchise. Can $80-million man Jack Eichel live up to his huge contract? That’s one storyline to watch, with the NHL season kicking into full swing this weekend.

last year’s first-round exit an aberration? How will Jonathan Toews respond after an off year? CONNOR McDAVID: Will the 20-year-old reigning MVP put together a second straight 100-point season and help the Edmonton Oilers qualify for the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 1997-2001? Or will he cool off? HOT SEATS: Florida was the first of many NHL teams to fire

coaches during last season, letting Gerard Gallant go after just 21 games. Will Detroit stick with Jeff Blashill behind the bench all season if the team’s new arena loses its lustre with too many losses? WASHINGTON CAPITALS: Will Alex Ovechkin and the big guns score enough and Braden Holtby stop enough to keep them a solid playoff team and a Stanley Cup contender?

BY THE BOOK: No timeouts after icing and no line changes for teams that commit the infraction. Closer attention from the officials on slashing. But the biggest rule change might be the crackdown on face-off violations, which has already led to some pre-season grumbling. MIGHTY PENGUINS: The elephant in the room, of course: Can Pittsburgh become the first team to win three championships in a row since the Islanders dynasty of the early 1980s? Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are back for a try.

Mickelson begins 27th PGA Tour season at Safeway Open JAMES RAIA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA, Calif. — Four days after a strong showing in the United States’ victory in the Presidents Cup, Phil Mickelson begins his 27th PGA Tour season Thursday seeking his first individual win since 2013 in the season-opening Safeway Open. Mickelson, winner of 42 career PGA Tour events including five majors, will be joined at Silverado by 12-time PGA Tour winner Zach Johnson as well as Emiliano Grillo and Adam Hadwin, who also played in the Presidents Cup. “I’m really excited to play because I have been playing well,’’ the 47-year-old Mickelson said. “I am excited to get back into competition. I am going to have a good chance.’’ Mickelson, who had five top-10 finishes last season in 22 events, is playing in his 91st tour event since his win at the 2013 British Open. “My game is back to where I’ve been wanting it to be, and I have an opportunity to start the new season with a little bit of momen-

tum,’’ said Mickelson, who opened last season with an eighth-place finish in the Safeway Open, shooting four rounds in the 60s. “It’s a fun, strategic golf course and there are multiple ways to play it. So when you feel well, you take a little bit more aggressive lines off the tee.’’ Mickelson has 11 PGA Tour titles in California, his home state. “I think a lot of the guys struggle with the poa annua greens, which is a grass I grew up playing,’’ he said. “I am very comfortable on the greens. If you grew up in Florida on Bermuda grass, this is a very awkward surface to putt on. The colour is different and it’s sometimes hard to read.’’ Johnson, playing in the event for the first time, is seeking his first PGA Tour win since the 2015 British Open. “My game feels good and that’s part of the reason I’m here,’’ said Johnson, who had four top-10 finishes last season including second in the Bridgestone Invitational, a World Golf Championship. “I look at what I have in front of

me the next month and a half or so, and I might have seven or eight weeks off. That’s a bit too much. I think it’s good to stay competitive. I thought this week is a really good way to stay fresh and get some work done and the assess.’’ Last year’s winner, Brendan Steele, and well as fellow former champions Jonas Blixt (2012), Sangmoon Bae (2014) and Grillo (2015) also are in the field. Steele birdied his last three holes to overcome a four-shot deficit for his second PGA Tour victory with a one-shot margin last year over Patton Kizzire. Bae, a two-time PGA Tour winner, is making his first PGA Tour start since a mandatory two years of military service in South Korea. He last played in the 2015 Presidents Cup. Maverick McNeal, 21, the former world’s top amateur and Stanford standout, is making his pro debut after eight amateur starts on the PGA Tour. John Daly, a two-time major winner who last May claimed his first PGA Champions Tour title, is also in the field on an exemption.

Odds of Canucks winning Stanley Cup league-worst 150-1 SCOTT BROWN

HOW THEY RANK

VANCOUVER SUN

Odds are this is not the Canucks’ year to end their Stanley Cup drought — but you probably already knew that. According to online gambling website Bodog, the odds of the Vancouver Canucks winning their first Stanley Cup are 150 to 1. A $100 bet pays $15,100 if the Canucks defy the odds and win the Cup. Vancouver is tied for last with the New Jersey Devils and Arizona Coyotes with the worst odds among the NHL’s 31 teams. The expansion Vegas Golden Knights at 66/1 are even seen as a better bet than the Canucks. The Canucks have never won the Stanley Cup in their 47 years in existence — although they have made the finals three times, losing in 1982, 1994 and 2011. The Edmonton Oilers, who made the NHL playoffs last year

The odds for each Canadian NHL team winning the Stanley Cup, according to Bodog:

Edmonton Oilers 8/1 Toronto Maple Leafs 14/1 Montreal Canadiens 25/1 Calgary Flames 28/1 Ottawa Senators 33/1 Vancouver Canucks 150/1 for the first time in 10 seasons, and the two-time defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins, both at 8/1, are Bodog’s co-favourites to win the Cup. The NHL’s 2017-2018 season gets underway tonight with four games on tap. The Canucks open their campaign on Saturday at Rogers Arena against the Oilers.

The Angel on Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N.

and sister Evelyn.

A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Eileen was predeceased by Jim her husband of 63 years.

She also leaves behind her brother Allen

Ruth was a loving wife and mother, devoting most of her time and energy to the needs and comfort of her family whom she loved unconditionally through good times as well as more challenging times. After raising their family, Ruth and Glen enjoyed travelling and visited many countries in Central America as well as Hawaii and the Philippines. Ruth would often find humour in life’s lessons even if that meant laughing at herself. Some of Ruth’s happiest times however were socializing around the kitchen table with family and friends.

A proud Irish woman Eileen worked for many years as a cook at Royal Inland Hospital. She often spoke highly of her time there. Next to her family who she was fiercely protective of and loved dearly, Mom also had an enormous soft spot for animals in general and cats in particular. Regardless of where our family lived the Baker home always had a resident cat.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kamloops Wildlife Park on Sunday November 26, 2017 starting at 11:30 am.

The family would like to thank the staff at Overlander Care Facility for the excellent care they provided our Mom. A heartfelt thank you is also extended to Mom and Dad’s long term neighbors Matt and Lori who were always there for them.

Randal Norman Cook May 12, 1960 – September 22, 2017

It is with great sadness that the family of Randy Cook announces his sudden passing, at his home in Kamloops, British Columbia. He will be greatly missed by his mother, Eileen Cook; brother, Alan (April); sister Jennifer (Brian) and nephew Adam. Randy was predeceased by his father, Harold Cook.

In Loving Memory of

Hugh Leroy Turner August 12, 1929 – October 4, 2015

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Randy came to Kamloops with his family in 1966. He graduated from NorKam Secondary in 1978 and kept in touch with many classmates. An early love of cars and motorcycles, combined with an appreciation of times gone by, led to a life-long involvement with classic cars and hot rods. Randy was a long-time member of The National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada, The Vintage Car Club of Canada (Kamloops Chapter), the Kamloops Street Rod Association and participated in many club activities, shows, rallies and swap-meets. Some of his most enjoyable hours were spent in the garage, or with the many friends and acquaintances he met through these groups. He was also an avid collector of smaller items, and enjoyed working in his yard and vegetable garden. Many thanks to Randy’s friends and neighbours who looked out for him and lent a hand when needed. There will be no formal service, but condolences may be expressed through www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

It’s lonely here without you we miss you more each day. For life is not the same to us since you were called away.

Love Audrey and Family
