Calling it “an interesting conspiracy theory,” Health Minister Terry Lake said he has seen no evidence to connect provincial government research into the stopsmoking drug Champix, and possible pressure from Champix maker Pfizer, to the firings of eight researchers in 2012. “I think it’s an interesting theory that makes for good reading, but I can tell you unequivocally that I have seen no evidence of that whatsoever,” Lake told KTW. “The researcher [coop student Roderick MacIsaac, who later committed suicide], he was working on the earlier program, not the newer program, and it didn’t even involve Champix. “The work he was doing could have helped us if we were to pursue a review of Champix, should that be considered in the future.” However, Lake said, by then the ministry had decided against doing its own review.

PRESCRIPTION FRAMES AND LENSES S

A Kamloops city councillor said he hasn’t made up his mind on whether he will support a proposed ban on cosmetic pesticides when it comes time to vote this afternoon. But, other councillors on both sides of the issue are predicting the ban will pass by a vote of 5-4, with Arjun Singh providing the deciding vote. The ban, which council will debate at the end of its regular meeting today at city hall, would only affect residential properties and would still allow pesticide use on fruit trees and in vegetable gardens — though not on lawns, flowers or ornamental shrubs and trees. Speaking to KTW on Friday, Singh said he’s been researching the health effects of pesticides and the effectiveness of bans in other communities for weeks, but hasn’t decided which way he will vote. “I think I’m going to leave myself open to either possibility,” he said. Tina Lange first proposed the ban in early June, but council has held off on voting to give residents a chance to speak to the issue. A pair of lawn-care companies have already appeared before council to argue against the ban and today’s agenda includes a master gardener, an anti-pesticide activist and a retired university research scientist, all with varying views on the issue. Singh aside, the majority of coun-

cillors have already decided how they will vote. Pat Wallace, Ken Christian and Mayor Peter Milobar said they don’t support the motion. Marg Spina said she wants to see if there are any new arguments in favour of a ban, but raised the same concerns about the proposal as the other nay votes. Those against the ban said it would be difficult to enforce and would lead to residents applying pesticides in secret, without the use of trained applicators or warning signs posted 24 hours before and 48 hours after application, both of which are required in the city’s current bylaw. Christian said many residents who have spoken to him are “indignant” about council telling homeowners how they can use products which remain legal for sale in B.C. — and in the City of Kamloops even if the ban on their use is approved. “It would be totally different if these things were banned by Health Canada,” Christian said. Wallace said she’s had more email messages on the ban than even the controversial Ajax copper and gold mine, with the majority opposed to a ban. “I was elected to listen to the people and, at some point, you have to start looking at the numbers,” she said. Milobar believes a ban will lead to more pesticide use, not less, because residents using products on their own will be more likely to over-apply.

Kamloops’ newest casino is putting its grand-opening plans on hold until mid-August due to construction delays. The Cascades Casino at 1555 Versatile Dr. was originally set to open in the final week of July. Parent company Gateway Casinos and Entertainment announced yesterday some construction materials for the new venue have been slow to arrive, resulting in the casino’s opening being rescheduled to Aug. 19. “We want to open when it’s right,” Gateway spokeswoman Tanya Gabara said. “We want the first impression of our new property to be the

best we can provide.” Gabara said a planned goodbye celebration at Gateway’s existing Lake City Casino in downtown Kamloops — set for July 19 — will proceed as planned despite the delay. However, the Victoria Street casino won’t close until its replacement is ready to open. Nor will the delays have an effect on roadworks on Hugh Allan and Versatile drives, which are being undertaken to handle increased traffic from the casino. That work, which Gateway is funding, is on target to wrap up in the next few weeks, Gabara said. It includes a large roundabout being installed at the intersec-

tion, along with a number of leftturn prohibitions. The new casino will include multiple restaurant and bar spaces and a 30,000-squarefoot casino floor with 500 slot machines as well as blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables and a poker room. But, one aspect of Cascades’ original design won’t be present on day one. Gabara said Gateway chose to hold off on building a 500-seat amphitheatre included in its initial proposals. “It’s not been dropped, it’s just something we’re choosing not to focus on at this time,” she said. “We’re choosing to focus on all the other elements ahead of working on that.”

Lighting a cigarette in a city park could cost you $500. Kamloops Fire Rescue Insp. Sheldon Guertin said KFR, city bylaw officers and parks staff are ramping up enforcement of a smoking ban in parks and natural areas as fire danger continues to grow in the region. “It’s really dry out there right now. The grasses, some of them look green still but they’re cured, they’re dead,” Guertin said. “There’s no moisture in them at all, so we’re looking at areas throughout town that are in extreme fire danger.” Guertin said cigarettes are a common cause of wildfires, noting a discarded smoke sparked the McLure-Barriere wildfire in the summer of 2003, one of the most destructive in Canadian history. Kamloops Mounties are also warning smokers to be careful with their cigarette butts as the fire danger remains high. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said police are concerned about the number of complaints about smokers tossing butts from vehicles. “All calls received by police relating to cigarette butts will be investigated and tickets and fines will be issued,” he said. Fines for throwing a cigarette butt from a moving vehicle start at $82 and top out at $173. While some rain fell on the weekend and showers are in this week’s forecast, KFR doesn’t expect much fire-danger relief in the short term. Guertin is also reminding residents an open fire ban remains in place for the city, even for those with permits for ceremonial or cooking fires. The penalty for violating that ban is also $500. In the event a wildfire can be traced to a human cause, that person can end up footing the bill for the entire fire. Guertin said having a truck on scene costs about $500 an hour, while an air tanker drop around $20,000 per use.

The new clinicalservices building at Royal Inland Hospital won’t open for another year, but the province is already gearing up for the next phase of improvements at the hospital. Health Minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake announced Friday that work on a business case for a patient-care tower will soon begin. The Interior Health Authority will chip in 60 per cent of the $1.9 million allotted for the planning, with the Thompson-Nicola Regional District bringing $800,000 to the table. The announcement comes about a year before the hospital’s newest building — which includes four levels of parking in

addition to clinical space — will open to the public. Construction on the nearly $80-million building fronting Columbia Street began in the spring of 2014. Lake told media the second phase of the project has an estimated price tag of between $200 and $240 million, but the IHA will have a better idea of costs once a business case is complete.

The planning will also pinpoint what will be in the tower, though it will likely include additional operating rooms and surgicalcare space. Planning will be completed between the summer and winter of 2016, Lake said. A construction date is less clear at this stage. “It’s hard to predict if we can get into the ground right away

with the time of year, etcetera, but I’m really optimistic we can get moving this forward in a timely way,” Lake said. “Obviously, we’d like to get this going sooner rather than later.” The TNRD must still approve its portion of funding for the business case this week, but Mayor Peter Milobar said he expects to see the board support the

project, for which it has been compiling a reserve of tax dollars over the past three years. Milobar said planning now for the next phase of hospital improvements will cut down on the lag time between construction projects. “I think people have finally started to get really excited about the health improvements we’ve seen here in Kamloops and these dollars are critical to take that next step,” he said.

Aug. 3 court date for Knutson The man accused of shooting a Kamloops Mountie last year has had his court case pushed back once again. Kenneth Knutson appeared briefly by video in Kamloops provincial court yesterday, having his matters put over for three weeks. The 36-year-old is charged with offences including attempt-

ed murder stemming from the Dec. 3, 2014, shooting of Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud. The officer was shot while performing a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights. Knutson was arrested following an extensive manhunt that lasted more than 12 hours.

He is a convicted killer with a lengthy criminal history and has ties to Lower Mainland drug gangs. Michaud is recovering from his injuries at home. Knutson, who remains in custody, is due back in court on Aug. 3 to set a date for a preliminary inquiry.

Ministry sets sights on road lines B.C.’s transportation ministry will test new road paints on a local highway as part of a provincial trial. The Ministry of Transportation said line markings testing different paints will be done outside Kamloops, Prince George and a yet-to-be-determined location on the Coast. Four-inch test strips will be painted across the Trans-Canada Highway outside the city, using both white and yellow marking.

Ensuring long-lasting marking on provincial highways has become more difficult since federal rules in 2010 eliminated oil-based paints. Areas will be signed to inform motorists of the test. Qualities to be determine include durability and longevity. The province spends about $10 million a year on line painting. Minister Todd Stone said line markings are one of the top concerns he hears from motorists.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q) How does the air quality affect my health. How do I know if I am at risk? And what can I do to protect myself? A) The air quality, depending on the length of time you are exposed, can have a negative effect on your heart and lungs. It can make it harder for you to breathe, irritate your lungs and airways. Typically seniors are at higher risk due to the heart, lungs and immune system weakening with age. You can protect yourself by reducing or rescheduling outdoor activities. It is important however to protect yourself from isolation while limiting your exposure to poor air quality conditions. Retirement community living offers you many options to limit or reduce your exposure to poor air quality. You don’t have to worry about grocery shopping. A comprehensive recreation calendar is designed to help you stay connected and active within the community without having to go outside. There are plenty of neighbors and friends within the retirement community to remain socially engaged. The poor air quality does not have to play a role in your quality of life. Why not make the move to a retirement community today!

Cavers proposed the same ban last term, when it was voted down 5-4 by many of the same councillors. Neither Denis Walsh nor Dieter Dudy responded to requests for comment from KTW before press time, but both are expected to support the ban. “It is obviously no surprise that I stand resolute in my support for a ban against the application of chemical pesticides for cosmetic use,” Dudy wrote on Facebook in June. “Frankly, I would be even happier if the proposed amendment would include a ban on the application of chemical pesticides on

our vegetable gardens and fruit trees.” While many on council predicted the ban will pass, Lange didn’t go quite so far, but said she hopes the debate on pesticides convinces at least a few people to reconsider how they are dealing with weeds on their lawns. “Pesticides are used with good reasons in certain areas for certain things. “For example, perhaps if you own a fruit orchard, it’s an economical thing,” Lange said. “But, when it comes down to grass, there is no logical reason — there’s not a safety reason or a health reason — to put poison on your grass.”

Kamloops Mounties have seized multiple firearms and stolen property after executing a search warrant in Tobiano. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said police were called to a home on Colebrook Road on July 9 for a report of stolen property. There, police found several stolen ATVs, construction equipment, two unlawfully possessed firearms, soft body armour, additional stolen property and fraudulent identity documents. James Cousineau faces four counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000. A second man was arrested on outstanding warrants.

Smoky-skies alert ended

George is surprised residents shot down a proposal to add fire service to the small community about 40 minutes northeast of Kamloops. KTW FILE PHOTO

The smoky-skies advisory for Kamloops and the surrounding area has been lifted. The advisory was issued on July 7 due to smoke in the skies from various forest fires outside of Kamloops. Yesterday, the Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Interior Health Authority, ended the advisory for the entire

Thompson, Fraser Canyon, Nicola and Shuswap areas. The weather system that is moving through the Southern Interior has reduced the amount of smoke carried into the region, resulting in improved air quality. These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days as clouds and showers are forecast to persist.

JULY SPECIAL!

Burning after the ‘No’ vote ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

A year later, Cory George’s store still would have burned down. George, president of the Pinantan/East Paul Lake Fire Department Association and owner of the Pinantan General Store, said he was surprised by the result of the recent public-assent process in the community northeast of Kamloops. He had expected it would end with the Pinantan Lake community showing its support for a proposed fire service. It didn’t come close. “Moving into the petition process the way we went, the turnouts we had in the public meetings, I really believed that the petition process was going to be a success,” George told KTW. In the end, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, which handled the process, received just 142 petitions (33 per cent) showing support for the proposed fire protection. A minimum of 218 petitions (50 per cent) from owners with a combined property value of at least $45,623,568 was needed for fire-service approval. George has thoughts on why the proposal failed, noting complacency in the petition process was likely the biggest culprit. From conversations he has had since the result was announced on June 30, George has also found the demographic of the region — with many of the homes acting as cottages and second residences — led to some households never

receiving the petition. He said the fact it was left to residents to mail their petitions back also played a role. There were concerns with how the service would be paid for, too. Some residents believed the fire service would cost more than the association and the TNRD had stated, he said, noting a few residents just didn’t think it was needed. Others believed the taxation for the service should have been applied equally to all 436 parcels of land in the area. The proposed tax requisition required a maximum of $95,000, or $1.04 per $1,000 of assessed property value, whichever was greater. Also of concern was that, for 186 properties in the area — those valued at less than $171,000 — the service would have been free based on the homeowner grant. “They believed that all [436 properties] should have shared the cost equally because it was a service that would have been equally provided,” George said. “They weren’t a ‘No’ to the fire protection. They were a ‘No’ to the way it was supposed to be set up.” George isn’t sure where the association will go from here. He said there has been talk of putting the fire service to a referendum vote, but noted the association will likely head back to the community later this summer to again gauge the appetite for fire protection. The Pinantan/ East Paul Lake Fire Department Association is set to have its annual

firefighter and auxiliary RCMP officer. “To me, it isn’t something you should have to convince somebody is a service that’s needed.” The land for the firehall — which was donated by an area resident in the 1970s for the specific purpose of a fire protection and has since been held in trust by the TNRD — would go back to the district if not used by the association.

general meeting at the end of the month, when some decisions will be made. If the belief is fire protection is still desired by area residents, the association will decide how to proceed. If not, it may mean abolition of the association. “I was very disappointed,” said George, who has worked in emergency services as a paramedic, volunteer

AN AMERICAN FEEL TO CAMPAIGN

s we head into the halcyon days of summer, with Canada Day celebrations now behind us, Canadians are coming to grips with their first taste of American-style politics. The decision by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to set fixed dates for federal elections in Canada has brought about a seismic shift to Canadian politics. The most noticeable change is the campaigns themselves, which now stretch far beyond the traditional five-week window. When Canadians last went to the polls on May 2, 2011, the election campaign was limited to the 36 days after the writ was dropped. All of that has changed. Canadians are now being inundated with political ads wherever they turn, whether it be television, newspapers, radio or websites. With the election date of Oct. 19 still more than three months away, you can be sure that there’s even more to come. While the Liberals and New Democrats have chosen to use their finances on ads introducing the party leaders, the Conservative government has launched a series of attack ads, primarily aimed at Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. Most of the positive messaging for Prime Minister Harper’s Conservatives has come in the way of government-funded ads. The barrage of television ads that will fill the airwaves over the next few months are an unwelcome distraction for many Canadians, but the longer campaigns do provide some benefit. The months of campaigning should serve to better inform Canadians about the issues facing the country and, hopefully, we can see a whole series of televised debates (if the party leaders can get past the posturing). Maybe the prolonged exposure will help boost voter turnout in October. Then again maybe not, but at least it’s a glimmer of hope to help Canadians get through their summer of political discontent.

Yes, LNG industry is real

he B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first largescale liquefied natural-gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead. With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations. Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital-cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels. Both the province and Ottawa

VICTORIA allow capital-cost write-offs against corporate tax to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas-drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling. The provincial government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers — and NDP researchers did just that. They noted Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employment and local suppliers will get preference. Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG. “There was hard bargaining by the companie and, certainly, the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG

industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.” Another big player with gaswell investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade. It’s important to remember that, without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural-gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead, we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that, once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PESTICIDE BYLAW WOULD BE ‘RIDICULOUS’ Editor: Kamloops council adopted a policy six years ago that banned homeowners from applying herbicides to their lawns to kill obnoxious weeds. The homeowner had to engage the services of a professional company to apply such products. To some degree, I understand council’s logic, as it wanted to know the product being used was done by professionals and was applied safely. Now, councillors Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers are trying to put forward another motion that will not allow even the professional companies to do to their jobs. These six companies are approved not only by the City of Kamloops, but by the Ministry of Environment as certified applicators, so the end result is homeowners will have no alternative

CELEBRATE BIODIVERSITY Editor: Please ban cosmetic pesticides for lawns. It’s one tiny step toward being kinder to the planet. We celebrate the biodiversity of Trophy Meadow or the Sun Peaks alpine, yet the petrochemical industry has us believing lawns should be one colour, one species. That’s not biologically natural. The bees love that my lawn has flowers all summer, thanks to my two varieties of clover, thyme, rosemary and dandelions. Yes, some businesses will

method to keep their lawns free of obnoxious weeds. This is absolutely bizarre. What are these people thinking? I understand the motive if these councillors want people to be more organic, but we need an alternative solution to solve the problem so we can treat our lawns and walkways and keep our city weed-free. Lange’s ridiculous motion takes all options away from us and offers no alternatives. Do councillors supporting this motion — Lange, Cavers, Dieter Dudy and Dennis Walsh (with Arjun Singh being the one undecided vote) actually think they are smarter than Environment Canada and Health Canada when it comes to administering herbicides and pesticides? I don’t think so.

have to adapt to change, as businesses have for centuries. Somebody, somewhere, will innovate an environment-friendly means of controlling weeds and new businesses will spring up. Yes, some homeowners will make improper applications of chemicals. My guess, though, is most will adjust to our new perception of what’s healthy, just as we adjusted to seatbelts and quitting smoking. Let’s celebrate biodiversity and health, which comes with fewer chemicals in our environment. Tom Rankin Kamloops

The city will be hypocritical if this motion is passed because it states the city can apply the same herbicides it is banning homeowners from using or having applied by professionals. Homeowners cannot use the products, but the city can spray this same product in all public areas, commercial landscapes and parks? What the hell are they thinking? If you believe common sense should prevail, contact these councillors and voice your opinion before today’s expected vote: Tina Lange (250-372-0902), Donovan Cavers (250-8522264), Dieter Dudy (250-318-9369), Denis Walsh (778-257-1386) and Arjun Singh (250-377-1797). If council approves such a bylaw, it will have crossed the line from being reasonable to being ridiculous. Ernie Beadle Kamloops

ROUND UP ALL CHEMICALS Editor: Re: Elaine Sedgman’s excellent July 9 letter to the editor (‘The answer is to ban pesticide use’): Pesticides are among the most widely used chemicals in the world. More than 6,000 Canadians are acutely poisoned by pesticides each year. The International Society of Doctors for the Environment, which is a non-government, non-profit organization, stated in a May 14 letter that a growing body of evidence shows that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is dangerous to people and the environment, as are dozens of other commonly used chemicals. Signed by the group’s president, it calls on glyphosate in particular to be outlawed — with no exceptions. Children are vulnerable to the adverse health effects from exposure to pesticides as their bodies are not fully developed. Very young children are more susceptible. For children, there is no safe level of exposure to pesticides. The use of cosmetic pesticides adds to the existing high levels of pesticides we ingest every day in food that is grown with Roundup-ready seeds. Linda Davidson Kamloops

Minister not involved in firings From A1

Instead, Lake said, the government decided to do its review through the Drug Safety and Enforcement Network, a nationally recognized organization that did an analysis of Champix and other prescription drugs listed by the provincial government. Lake said the network conceded there were no concerns that would lead Victoria to not list the drug. “In fact, every province but two continue to list it. And, in fact, the two that haven’t listed it are looking at listing it,” he said. “So, I think that’s an interesting conspiracy theory that, really, I have seen no evidence to corroborate that at all.” Champix, made by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, is suspected of playing a part in 44 deaths in Canada — including 30 suicides — according to a Health Canada database. Pfizer is also the target of a class-action lawsuit concerning the use of Champix. As for his decision to ask incoming Ombudsperson Jay Chalke to conduct a review of the firings and why they occurred, rather than convene a public inquiry, Lake said he has looked at the issue from different perspectives for two years. “I just don’t think it will accomplish anything more than the ombudsperson

doing a review would,” Lake said of a public inquiry which continues to be called for by the fired researchers and the family of MacIssac. Chalke has since said he needs more legislative powers to do a proper investigation. On the issue of the firings, Lake said they were decisions made by public servants about public servants. “That was not something done by the minister. The head of the civil service does not come to the minister and say, ‘Should we fire these people?’” The health minister at the time of the investigation into alleged breach of protocol among the researchers was Michael de Jong. Margaret MacDiarmid became health minister the day before the suspensions/firings were announced. “There’s quite a separation between elected officials and professional civil servants,” Lake said. “So, ministers or premiers would not have had to approve these decisions to stop contracts or fire people.” But, Lake said, politicians remain responsible for the actions of public servants, which is why government apologized for the way some of the employees were dealt with. “Not in every instance, we haven’t apologized, because we have to remem-

ber that the privacy commissioner has been very clear that people were using data inappropriately, downloading onto unencrypted flash drives information that was confidential, against ministry policy. So, this was a serious breach.” In her report, Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham did criticize the Ministry of Health for lax security protocol, but did not state the security breaches were justification for the firings. As reported in October 2014 by Vancouver Sun political columnist Vaughn Palmer: “The first of the three breaches was turned up by the internal health ministry investigation that led to the firings. But, it originated in a different branch of the ministry from the one that was the target of the investigation and where those who were fired worked. “The other two breaches were identified by Denham’s staff after the firings, so could not have been a factor in the decision to terminate. One had occurred in October 2012, a month after the accused were gone from government altogether.” Lake said there were also serious concerns about the way contracts were being managed in the ministry, noting and the Office of the Comptroller has not yet released that report.

Was suicide linked to firing? Five of the eight fired researchers were either rehired or reached settlements with government. Two have lawsuits before the courts. While the eighth researcher, MacIsaac, killed himself after being fired, Health Minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake cautioned against directly linking the firing and death. “I think we have to be very careful not to draw a straight line between what happened and someone committing suicide,” Lake said. RODERICK MACISAAC “No question there was a lot of pressure around the investigation, but also around the practices that were happening. “But, I can’t speculate on all of those things that led to someone deciding to take their life. “Having said that, with three days left in his co-op term, we recognize that the way he was treated was heavy-handed and we’ve apologized for that.”

SUN DEVILS BRONZED

With a 7-4 victory over Everett, the Kamloops Sun Devils won bronze at the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT) on Sunday at Norbrock Stadium. Later Sunday, Seattle defended its title with a 9-4 win over Langley. On the right, Cam Strachan makes the snag at first base. Below, Kyle Dhanani slides in safely for a double. Seattle, which has won five consecutive KIBT titles, advanced to the final with a 3-0 victory over Kamloops in the semifinal round.

Pendrel claims silver at Pan Am Games TORONTO — Catharine Pendrel of Kamloops picked up a silver medal for Canada at the Pan Am Games on Sunday. Emily Batty, of Brooklin, Ont., and Pendrel finished one-two in the women’s mountain biking competition, while Raphael Gagne of Quebec City won the men’s race. Batty finished the race in one hour 27 minutes 13 seconds — seven seconds faster than Pendrel. “It’s really just pushing each other,’’ Batty said. “It doesn’t matter who’s first on the day as long as it’s a Canadian. So we got gold and silver, which was amazing.’’ Pendrel, who won gold in the event at the 2007 Rio Games, is known for setting a strong early pace and hoping others can’t match it. Batty showed she was up for the challenge. “Emily and I are really motivated by each other,’’ Pendrel said. “We don’t just want to be the best at this race, we want to be the best in the world. You be the best in the world by pushing the most that you can out of your riding

and I think we did that today.’’ Gagne finished the men’s six-lap race in 1:31:14. Pendrel, 34, won gold at the 2014 UCI World Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships in Norway and will look to defend her title in September in Andorra. She is in great form, having also won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Pendrel had a disappointing ninth-place finish at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London and is aiming to find the podium at next year’s Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. After the 2012 Olympics, Pendrel apologized to Canadians for her performance. “I felt so strong yesterday and today just didn’t happen,” she said. “You know I’m sorry because I know everyone in B.C. got up at 4:30 [a.m.] to watch me. It’s just what I had in the day and unfortunately this only comes every four years. Maybe in Rio.” For more on Pendrel, read Thursday’s edition of KTW. — Canadian Press

The British Open tees off Thursday in St. Andrews, Scotland. Roger Sloan will be in Alabama. There are thousands of kilometres between the two locations, but the gap between the Merritt golfer and a major-championship appearance is closing. Sloan posted his best-ever finish on the PGA Tour on Sunday, carding a final-round 67 to finish 12-under 272 and tied for 18th at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois. â€œFor some reason, Iâ€™d been looking forward to the John Deere Classic,â€? said Sloan, who worked his way up to the PGA circuit on the Canadian and Web.com tours. â€œIt was the event one year ago that was right after the Nova Scotia Open, where I won and realized Iâ€™d be going to the PGA Tour. I was watching the John Deere on TV. â€œThere was a good feel all week.â€? Jordan Spieth, the 21-year-old phenom who is taking the golf world by storm, won the tournament in a playoff, vanquishing 46-year-old Tom Gillis on the second extra hole. The Dallas product will look to follow his wins at the Masters and U.S. Open this week at the British Open, while Sloan aims to pad his piggy bank at the Barbasol Championship on the

Roger Sloan of Merritt finished tied for 18th place at the PGA Tour John Deere Classic in Illinois on the weekend, more than doubling his season earnings.

Lake Course at Grand National in Opelika, Alabama. â€œI think itâ€™s important, no matter what sport you play or at what level, to always have a favourite player player,â€? said Sloan, who attended Merritt secondary. â€œAnd, itâ€™s kind of hard to say this, but Jordan Spieth is my favourite player. Heâ€™s seven years younger than me â€” and thatâ€™s why it kills me to say it. â€œI kind of want to know how much he charges for a putting lesson because I might get one.â€? Sloan, who has played 16 events on tour this season and missed the cut 11 times, was able to shoot 70 on Thursday and 68 on Friday, qualifying for the weekend and continuing his strong play

with back-to-back 67s. â€œIt was great to be in that position, to feel the pressure of having something on the line again,â€? said Sloan, who was pulling into the Grand National when he spoke to KTW yesterday. â€œIt was a nice feeling to go out there, stay focused and put up some good numbers.â€? The 28-year-old blond-locked sharpshooter improved his world golf ranking to 571st and amassed 51 Fed Ex Cup points to move up 30 spots to 200th on that list. â€œItâ€™s still my rookie year on Tour,â€? Sloan said. â€œThere is a lot to learn. Iâ€™m learning every single week and applying that to the next week. â€œIâ€™m really looking forward to the the last four or five events here

in the regular season and, hopefully, we can keep it going.â€? Sloan more than doubled his season earnings on Sunday, banking $59,000 to bring his total to $111, 320. Thatâ€™s not quite Jordan Spieth money. â€œI saw a stat today that heâ€™s won just under $10 million in his last 20 worldwide starts,â€? Sloan said. â€œItâ€™s incredible what heâ€™s doing at such a young age, but whatâ€™s most impressive is how he handles his situation, how he conducts his interviews and how heâ€™s an ambassador of the game. â€œHeâ€™s really embracing the role and influencing the next generation of golfers.â€? If all goes well, this time next year Sloan will be at Royal Troon preparing for his firstever appearance at the British Open. â€œThe major championships are definitely down the road, but itâ€™s a process,â€? he said. â€œIt could be next year. It could be five years from now. My goal is learning every week and, if I continue to do that, weâ€™ll be playing with Spieth in some majors in the future.â€?

COWBOYS CASH IN LAURENCE HEINEN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A pair of young Canadian cowboys each took home $100,000 for winning their respective events on Showdown Sunday at the Calgary Stampede. Clint Laye, 21, of Cadogan, Alta., started things off by winning the bareback championship, while Zeke Thurston, 20, of Big Valley, Alta., followed up his Canadian counterpart with a victory in the finals of the saddle bronc event. Laye had an 88-point ride aboard Virgil in the second event of the finals to beat last year’s champion Kaycee Feild by just one point. “It hasn’t sunk in yet,’’ Laye said. “This is the hugest win I’ve ever had. My motor’s just rolling right now.” Ten competitors in each of the six events qualified to compete on Sunday and only the top four from the first goround advanced to the finals. “I was towards the end and kind of watching everybody and I knew I just had to let it all go on the line, so I did,’’ said Laye, who earned his spot in the finals thanks to an 87.5point ride atop Raggedy Ann. Luke Creasy of

Brownfield, Alta., joined Laye in the finals after Tim O’Connell had to give up his spot due to injury. Creasy responded with an 84-point ride on Shadow Warrior to win $15,000 for placing third. Shortly after Laye accepted his $100,000 cheque, Thurston, Cody DeMoss and Wade Sundell all posted scores of 90.5 in the saddle bronc finals to force a buck-off. After Sundell and DeMoss had rides of 82 and 85 points respectively, Thurston scored 88.5 aboard Easy To Love to win his first title at the Calgary Stampede. “That was exciting,’’ Thurston said. “It was pretty nerve-wracking getting on that calibre of horses, three of them in one day. It’s great. It gets your blood running for sure. To win in Calgary, it’s unreal.’’ Trevor Knowles of Mt. Vernon, Ore., won his fourth steer wrestling title in Calgary by recording the top time of 3.9 seconds. Tanner Milan had a no-time in the finals, but still won $10,000 for finishing fourth. “A lot of things have to go right at this rodeo,’’ said Knowles, who also won in 2009, 2012 and 2014. “It’s hard to get out of your pool and into Sunday. I’d say the pressure side of it is probably what hurts people the

most. There’s a lot of pressure for $100,000 and, I don’t know, it just seems like I can take it. You just go make a run.’’ Timber Moore of Aubrey, Tex., won the tiedown roping title with a time of 8.1 seconds in the finals to edge out Curtis Cassidy of Donalda, Alta., by just 0.1 of a second. Cassidy still received $25,000 for placing second. “Right now, this is the biggest win I’ve ever had,’’ Moore said. “Hopefully I’ll win a gold buckle down in the States but this is by far the biggest and greatest win I’ve had.’’ Lisa Lockhart of Oelrichs, S.D., reached the finals of the ladies barrel racing event for the third time at the Stampede and went on to win her first title in a time of 17.907. The last event of the afternoon featured Aaron Roy of Yellow Grass, Sask., taking on Americans J.B. Mauney and Sage Kimzey in the finals of the ever-popular bull riding event. While both Roy and Mauney were bucked off their bulls, Kimzey of Strong City, Okla., posted an impressive scored of 92.5 aboard Bottle Rocket to win the championship showdown. Roy and Mauney won $20,000 each for finishing tied for second.

LIONS SCRAMBLE TO HOME VICTORY VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions’ offence woke up just in time. Travis Lulay threw a fouryard touchdown to Manny Arceneaux in overtime Friday as the Lions picked up their first win of the season with a wild 35-32 comeback victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. “I’m just proud of my guys,’’ said Lulay, who finished 34 of 44 for 404 yards and three touchdowns. “Phenomenal effort to

overcome a bit of a slow start.’’ The Lions (1-1) trailed 29-18 late in the fourth quarter before Lulay hooked up with Austin Collie for a 46-yard touchdown plus a two-point convert with 1:38 to play. Trailing 29-26, B.C. elected to kick deep and got the ball back after stuffing Saskatchewan on third-and-short near midfield. Lions rookie kicker Richie Leone then stepped up a few

plays later and hit his fifth field goal of the night, a club-record boot of 56 yards, with 15 seconds left on the clock to send the game to overtime. Former B.C. kicker Paul McCallum, who was cut in training camp, nailed a 33-yard field goal to put Saskatchewan (0-3) up 32-29 in OT before Lulay hooked up with Arceneaux for the clinching points. — Canadian Press

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  DOUGLAS LIFFORD It is with weeping hearts that we announce the passing of Douglas Ernest Lifford at Kamloops Hospice on Wednesday, July 8, 2015. Doug was born in Vancouver on April 28, 1940 and with his parents moved to Kamloops as a small child. Doug loved Kamloops and spent the remainder of his days here; he never had any desire to live anywhere else. Doug is lovingly remembered by Joanne, his devoted wife of 41 years, two beautiful daughters, Dianna (Kirk) Hasley, and Amanda (Shaun) Clarke, and his precious baby grandson David. Doug will also be fondly and respectfully remembered by many friends and by his co-workers at Dearborn Motors, where he recently celebrated his 45th year. Doug never fully retired from Dearborn, as the company and staff were a huge part of his life. Doug was predeceased by his parents, Ernie and Wilma Lifford, and by an infant sister, Darlene. Doug’s family would like to express special thanks to Joyce, Ayesha, and Anna at Royal Inland Hospital; without your commitment and continuing concern Doug would not have managed these past four plus years. You three truly went above and beyond! Thanks also to Dr. Brenda Laupland for your devoted care, and to Dr. Ruth Farren for your support and home visit when we needed it the most. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank everyone at Kamloops Hospice for your excellent and compassionate care and for making Doug’s last hours peaceful and comfortable.

I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

In Loving Memory of

RACHEL MARY JOHN 1932 - 2015 Rachel passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at the Kamloops Hospice on July 8, 2015. Rachel was the beloved wife of Thomas John, mother of Tom (Annie) and Beena (Alex). She was the proud grandmother of Sarah, Aaron and Hannah. Rachel was born and grew up in Kerala, South India where she did her schooling. She later moved to Bombay and successfully completed her nursing program. After working as a Registered Nurse for 12 years, Rachel took a bold step of faith to come to Canada. She landed in Newfoundland in 1969 and worked there for two years. In 1971, she relocated to Kamloops and joined the Royal Inland Hospital. She was a skilled nurse and received various accolades for her dedicated service. After 22 years at RIH, in various departments, Rachel took early retirement. This allowed her and her husband to travel to various countries which they enjoyed very much. Their favorite trips included visiting family in Kerala, cruising to Alaska and the Holy Land Tour of Jordan, Israel and Egypt. Rachel loved to cook, entertain and made exquisite cross stitches. Her family was the love of her life and we will miss her dearly. Rachel loved the Lord, trusted Him and left to be in His presence forever. The family wishes to thank the many health care professionals who have been involved in Rachel’s care for the last few years. Especially, Dr. Jeevyn Chahal her family doctor who was with her till the very end and cared for her above and beyond the call of duty. We wish to thank doctors and staff at Royal Inland Hospital and Kamloops Hospice; staff at Ponderosa Lodge and Kamloops Seniors Village. The family is very grateful for the care that Rachel received from many friends in the community. Also, we appreciate Pastor Larry Boss and his team at the Kamloops Alliance Church for their support during this difficult time. We wish to thank the Kamloops Funeral Home for taking care of all the arrangements. The Funeral Service will be on July 18, 2015 at 11:00 AM at the Kamloops Alliance Church at 200 Leigh Rd, Kamloops, BC and the Interment to follow at Hillside Cemetery.

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

Revenue agency Ukrainian PM to visit Canada writes off billions this week amid turmoil at home in tax debts FEDERAL POLITICS

MURRAY BREWSTER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The prime minister of Ukraine will be in Ottawa this week for talks with the Harper government. Arseniy Yatsenyuk was to arrive Tuesday for talks that will focus on the eastern European country’s attempts at economic and government reform. A statement from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office says it’s an opportunity to reaffirm the close relationship between the two countries and they intend to “discuss ways to further broaden its scope.’’ The last time the two met was in Kyiv just prior to the G-7 Summit in early June when Yatsenyuk asked Harper to press allies for lethal military aid so that Ukraine could turn the tide against Russianbacked separatists in the east. His visit also comes ahead of an anticipated announce-

ment that Ukraine will default on debts owed to private creditors. Ukraine faces a different situation than Greece, which has been bailed out by public bodies like the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank. Talks about restructuring the debt are underway, but the country faces a July 24 deadline to pay US $120 million to private bond holders, who are now being asked to accept half of what they are owed. The country’s parliament recently passed legislation that allows the government of President Petro Poroshenko to suspend payments to private foreign creditors while Ukraine’s debt is restructured. If the creditors don’t agree, the government could simply default. Right now, the country’s debt chews up about 95 per cent of its gross domestic product and many observers,

Canada funds ballot-box training in Ukraine KYIV, Ukraine — Canada, along with its allies, have dusted-off a Cold War playbook in order to push back against Russian influence in Ukraine. Separate from the upcoming military training program, the Harper government is spending over $49 million in an attempt to fight Kremlin influence with grassroots ideologue rather than tanks, artillery and troops. The plans have been quietly

including the IMF, say that is unsustainable. Unlike Greece, Yatsenyuk has repeatedly signalled the Ukrainian government is committed to reform. Defence Minister Jason Kenney, the last high-ranking Canadian official to visit Ukraine last month, said he remains optimistic that a default is not on the cards.

TORONTO — Doctors are warning people who forage for wild mushrooms to educate themselves about edible species after a woman who ingested a highly poisonous variety needed a life-saving liver transplant. In a case report published in Monday’s edition of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, doctors say the 52-year-old immigrant of Asian descent visited a Toronto hospital emergency department last summer after developing severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting overnight. The evening before, the woman had eaten a variety of wild mushroom found in a local park with her husband, who had foraging experience in his native country. “Presumably they thought that it was an edible mushroom,’’ said co-author Dr. Corey Stein, an internal medicine resident who helped treat the woman at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. But suspecting the mushrooms might have caused her symptoms, the woman brought

samples of the fungus with her to the hospital. “When she initially presented, we knew the danger of mushroom toxicity, but it wasn’t until the next morning that we had them analysed by the lab and found out it was a very poisonous kind,’’ he said in an interview. By that point, “her liver was already inflamed and starting to fail.’’ Analysis showed the mushrooms were a toxic species known as Amanita bisporigera. The Amanita genus includes more than 600 species, which are the cause of most deaths due to mushroom poisoning. “Distinguishing safe from harmful mushrooms is a challenge even for mycologists,’’ writes Dr. Adina Weinerman, a Sunnybrook internal medicine specialist who co-authored the report. People poisoned by toxic mushrooms typically go through a number of phases. Six to 24 hours after ingesting the fungi, the person develops intestinal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms are typically followed by a “false recovery’’ period, in which the patient appears to improve, and may

announced here and there over the last year, by press release or in speeches to interest groups, making it difficult to build a comprehensive picture of where the money is going. The Canadian Federation of Municipalities is leading a program to train municipal managers while other international organizations are instructing Ukrainian political parties and civil society in political action and engagement.

“We certainly hope that doesn’t happen,’’ Kenney told The Canadian Press in Calgary during a recent interview. “We’ve assisted Ukraine in stabilizing their monetary situation through the International Monetary Fund. “The most important thing for Ukraine is they get their economy growing and that’s why they need stability.’’

lead to premature discharge from hospital, the authors say. In the final phase, which occurs about 48 hours after eating the noxious plant, the patient’s liver begins to fail, which can result in death. The woman in the case report had no false recovery period, but rapidly deteriorated despite her admission to the ICU, leading to the need for an urgent liver transplant. There is no antidote for mushroom toxicity. While orally administered charcoal can absorb the toxin, that treatment would need to be given soon after ingestion — and even then it might not work, said Stein. In the United States, about 6,000 exposures to toxic mushrooms are reported annually, most of which are associated with mild symptoms, the authors say. Mushroom toxicity is more common in western Europe, with 50 to 100 fatal cases reported each year. “We don’t have good data in Canada on mushroom poisoning,’’ said Stein, who noted that the Ontario Poison Centre fields about 200 calls on average per year related to varying degrees of mushroom toxicity.

OTTAWA — Newly released records show the federal revenue agency has written off at least $4 billion in debts in the last two years — including accounts worth more than $10 million. Debts were declared “uncollectible” because those owing had died, gone bankrupt, could not be located or lived outside Canada, according to Canada Revenue Agency records obtained under the Access to Information Act. In other cases, officials considered it not worth the expense to

track down the money owing or they reached a compromise settlement with the debtor. The revenue agency says it makes every effort to collect all tax debts from those who do not pay voluntarily. Murray Rankin, the NDP’s deputy revenue critic, questioned whether the government is doing enough to collect the substantial sums owed to the federal treasury. The heavily censored revenue agency records indicate that between July and October last year, there appeared to be at least two cases in which the write-offs were greater than $10 million apiece.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

De Jong touts LNG deal as blueprint for private investment backed by Malaysian state-owned energy giant Petronas, proposes to build the plant

near Prince Rupert though it has not yet made a final investment decision. De Jong said the province’s law provides Pacific NorthWest LNG with 25-year assurances specific to LNG-related income and ensures energy and environmental taxes do not increase while corporate and sales taxes could rise. He said the guarantees against targeted tax increases are a tradeoff in exchange for thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in revenues the LNG industry is expected to generate. Opposition NDP Leader John Horgan said the tradeoffs do not come with job guarantees for B.C. Victoria has initiated a series of apprenticeship and skills and trades training initiatives at the secondary and post-secondary levels to increase the provincial labour pool in advance of an expected worker shortage in the oil and gas industry. Premier Christy Clark has said LNG developments could result in up to 100,000 jobs. There are 19 LNG proposals underway, but none has reached the production stage. Horgan said the New Democrats’ conditions for support on LNG deals include agreement by First Nations, fair returns for the province, jobs for British Columbians and solid environmental controls.

up the children’s theatre group, the Rivertown Players, it’s been a quick learning curve in catering to their audience. During the trio’s superhero show, Erik Stephany — who also wrote the play — has become used to kids yelling at him when he portrays the mad scientist, Dr. Zorino. “I was kind of expecting it,” Stephany said. “Kids are always looking to point out the villain, especially when there’s a hero. They want to help the hero out.” The children’s theatre group, which is funded

by the Kamloops Arts Council, kicked off its 14th season on Canada Day with three new shows. The summer program makes theatre accessible by touring Kamloops parks and giving free shows and is intended to inspire the next generation of audiences and artists, by catering to children and hiring students. For Josh Sunderman, the third member of the group, Rivertown Players has been a way to transition from the classroom and get his name out there, being in his fifth year at TRU. “You get a chance to play around with what you learned through acting classes,” he said.

DENTAL FEAR & ANXIETY: AN AGE OLD PROBLEM

How do you cope with going to the dental office when you are scared of pain, the unknown or past experiences as a child or even ALL these factors? Dr. Preety Desai Studies show that the majority of dental anxiety is seeded in childhood dental experiences when dentistry was archaic! This was my own personal history ... leading me to a career choice as seen today! The best method to deal with one’s own dental demons is to search out a dentist who empathizes with you as a person and then deals with your oral health in accordance with this philosophy. If anything in your present dental office is at all uncomfortable: the smells, the decor, the cleanliness or any one member of the staff then you need to look beyond and feel like your total health need is taken care of. The dentist you have grown up with or your family has always gone to may not be the right one for you as an adult ~ seeking second opinions is common day in any field especially health care. Once you have achieved this professional and personal comfort level with your dental office then everything will be smooth sailing - they will address any of the concerns you present or refer you to the appropriate specialist when they can’t. Dentistry like medicine is more and more about having the right specialist deal with your particular issue - just like your family doctor referring you to a plastic surgeon or an orthopaedic specialist. Studies have show when cortisol (the stress hormone) levels of children receiving dental treatment is higher and children between 4-8 years of age often cannot verbalize their fears and stresses but these carry things into adulthood. But if kids are dealt with in an empathetic manner with the support of oral/inhalation sedatives when needed then anxiety levels associated with dental treatment are tremendously diminished. This reduced fear later in life will help them as adults seek dental treatment in a timely fashion rather than facing total tooth loss due to lack of treatment from stress and fear. Even so, as my practice is mainly adults, I hear this exact situation many times in the same week. Avoidance of treatment from fear has led to more serious and complicated situations that should never have occurred. It is my role as a dental specialist to then outline the clinical options of treatment which then have to be delivered and executed for a patient who has fear and anxiety. What are the options then? As mentioned sedative techniques and options are available to younger children but also adults. There is no need to be a martyr! Options for sedations are three fold: oral sedation (like a short acting valium type drug) alone or in combination with inhalation (nitrous oxide ie laughing gas) is THE safest option available to iv sedation in the dental office to general anaesthetic in the operating room. Risk factors of all the above vary but the iv sedation and general anaesthetic control your breathing in various stages and thus can have slighter higher risk values while there has never been any cases documented with oral or inhalation sedation. So remember that dental care is just one part of your overall well being. Make sure it is not the fear of the unknown or just fear itself that is preventing you Dentistry today is a sophisticated and precisely delivered art and sedation can always help you over the first few humps of your goal to self care.

The members, who are all in their early 20s, are responsible for everything — writing the shows, stage production, acting, marketing and directing. They also receive guidance from a professional. Melissa Thomas, co-artistic producer of X Fest, helped them prepare for the season but, other than that, they’re packing up the Rivertown Players van with their set — a tent they painted — and props, mostly leftover from season’s past or purchased from Value Village. So far, they’ve had a better turnout than they anticipated, Sunderman said. “We’ve been averaging between, like, 20 and 40 people per show,”

Majcher added. “Our biggest show we had 64 kids.” For the first time, the group will be performing at the B.C. Wildlife Park and for patients at the hospital. “We’re going to be performing in the courtyard,” Sunderman said. “We tried to perform at the paediatric ward, but then we found out they only have, like, two patients in there at a time, so we decided we might as well broaden the field a bit,” Stephany added. “It’s part of our making theatre accessible to everyone.” The alternating shows run Tuesdays to Saturdays through the summer.

OF THE MONTH!

Murray Adams

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I got involved with Big Brothers when I retired. Having more free time I felt that perhaps spending time with a Little I would be able to make a difference in his life. What do you enjoy about the Big Brother Program? Getting together with my Little and doing things that I would not otherwise do. How often do you see your Little and what do you do? Once a week 2-4 hours . We enjoy computers, swimming, bike riding, skating, Blazers Games. How is this relationship fitting into your life? Very well. It does not take a lot of time and the times we spend together can be very flexible. It gets me out of the house and I have done many cool things with my Little that I would not have done otherwise. Who would you recommend this program to? Anyone with a bit of time to spare and likes kids. How has your Little benefitted from the program? We have formed a great relationship. He looks forward to getting together with me. I think that fact that he has another person in his life that cares makes him feel good. Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? Volunteering is an important part of what makes Kamloops a great place to live. This program does not take up a lot of time but can be a very rewarding experience.

issan led the crossover charge with the introduction of the Murano almost 12 years ago, but its imitators have since roared past it on the sales battleground. First drives of each of third-generation’s trims clearly indicate the 2015 version is designed to rectify that state of affairs, even though this segment is far more competitive than it was a decade or so ago. Simply, this carbased crossover vehicle scores on looks, performance, fuel economy and value. The bulbous rear of the first iteration of the Murano is long gone. The new vehicle is sleek with a low and sloping roofline. A huge V-shaped grille defines the front. Dare we say, sporty? Inside, five passengers find comfort and room for human and inanimate cargo. Folding flat seats add to its versatility. The external good looks are matched inside but it’s the usability of the controls that make it a real beauty. The touch screen is almost as intuitive as

leather front seats plus blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert safety systems. While the likes of its key rivals, the Ford Edge and Toyota Venza, offer a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines, Nissan is sticking with its trusty 3.5-litre, 260 h.p., V6 coupled with a continuously variable transmission with a manual shift option. It’s hard to fault the dogged determination to stick with the V6 because it performs well and the continuous tweaking has resulted in improved fuel economy. If you were to attend any of the major manufacturer media launches, you would hear journalist after journalist complain about the audacity of carmakers who use CVT. In the old days, CVT deserved its poor reputation with power lags, high revving, uneven gearing and unedifying and unexpected lurches forward. The technology has evolved. And, the average consumer has no problem with it, liking the smoother transitions. My first test route was in the Whistler area and showed off

its hill-climbing skills and smoothness of the dreaded CVT. It’s no gazelle but it is sure-footed and the CVT did not fail even with a lead-footed driver. I found the ride to be smooth, with highway passing no challenge. Cornering at sensible speeds keeps the vehicle firmly planted. It’s darn quiet, too. Then, I spent a week tooling around the city putting it through its shopping paces. Parking on the street was a little challenging, but I’ll put that down to impatient drivers behind, not prepared for the Murano’s wide swing needed to get into that tricky spot. On the supermarket lot, it glided into spaces forwards or backward with ease. It’s a fine longdistance vehicle but would serve well as a commuter where longer distances are the norm. I can see it being used in the suburbs but it’s a bit large for the centre of the city. The Murano is not too thirsty for its size — 11.2/8.3 L/100 kms. That’s about two litres per 100 klicks better than its main rivals.
