$5-MILLION DONATION TOWARD ARTS CENTRE ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops family known for its philanthropic ways will donate $5 million toward the cost of the proposed $90-million performingarts centre if residents vote in favour of the project in a fall referendum. Ron and Rae Fawcett, who run Kelson Group Property

Management, are the first private donors to back the centre the city hopes to build at the former Kamloops Daily News site at Fourth Avenue and Seymour Street. “The community’s been extremely good to us and it’s just our time of life to give back,” said Ron. “This is a cause that is extremely important to us.” The family has made a num-

ber of large donations in the city, including for the John Tod community centre, a study hall at Thompson Rivers University and the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre at the B.C. Wildlife Park. Ron said he and his wife are supporters of the performing arts locally and believe the project will make the city’s downtown more vibrant and improve the lives of residents across Kamloops — even those who don’t use the facilities.

“The value of their own homes, the value of their properties, the value of their lives will be more balanced and, hopefully, more rewarding,” Ron said. Kamloops voters will go to the polls in a Nov. 7 referendum, when they will be asked if they support the city borrowing up to $49 million to build the arts centre and underground parkade. To pay for the centre, the city would create a reserve fund of

new property taxes (which would bring in $950,000 the first year and $1.9 million each year thereafter), federal and provincial gambling and gas-tax money and revenue from its downtown parking kiosks. By the end of construction in 2020, when the city would begin servicing its debt for the project, it would have about $25.5 million in reserves. See MAYOR, A4

THE SENATE AUDIT

Greene Raine repaid $2,300 after claiming ski-show costs CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sen. Nancy Greene Raine charged taxpayers for stops at a ski show, for an overnight holiday with her spouse and for costs to attend a wedding anniversary of another senator. The B.C. senator is one of 30 flagged in the auditor general’s report released Tuesday that calls for a complete overhaul on how senators do business. “We found several instances of travel expenses claimed by the senator [Greene Raine] that were not for parliamentary business,” the report states. Green repaid about $2,300 after issues about Senate expenses were raised in 2013. She has disputed two other findings, which will go to an arbitrator for decision. Reached Tuesday in Ottawa, Greene Raine said she has always tried to be scrupulous about expenses because of her background in tourism and amateur sport, where money is not free-flowing.

Nancy Greene-Raine was appointed to the Senate in 2009 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. She was cited in the Senate audit report for claiming questionable expenses.

“If I put in a per diem for a meal, I had a meal,” she said. “I’ve always had an understanding of the rules.” The report notes Green Raine and her staff reviewed her claims, realizing several should not have been made: • Two 2013 stopovers in Toronto en route from Ottawa for ski shows. Value $1,688 • Attendance at a community board meeting in Kelowna. Value $353. • Cost of a ticket to an aboriginal awards event, deemed outside Senate business. Value $345. Raine is contesting two other findings by the auditor general’s office: • An overnight stopover in Vancouver in 2012 with husband Al Raine en route to Ottawa, deemed a holiday. Value $211. • A 2011 attendance of the 50th wedding anniversary of another senator in Vancouver. Value $203. See SENATOR, A7

A Kamloops Mountie shot several times during a traffic stop in December has made his first public comments in a promotional video for the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. The video, five minutes and 19 seconds in length, was produced by Kamloops’ Mastermind Studios and features doctors and patients like Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud thanking donors and urging others to give to the foundation that helps equip the hospital. “One bullet entered my elbow and the other one my torso,” Michaud says in the video. “That night, the quick work by the emergency room department and the amazing work by the team of surgeons saved my life. “I want to thank the staff at the Royal Inland Hospital for providing me with the chance to see my kids grow up, spend more time with my wife and be with my family and friends. I owe my life to this establishment.” Ken Knutson, 36, is charged with a raft of offences, including attempted murder, stemming from the Dec. 3 shooting in Batchelor Heights. Knutson was arrested following an exhaustive manhunt that lasted more than 12 hours. A convicted killer with a lengthy criminal history and ties to Lower Mainland drug gangs, Knutson is due back in court today for an arraignment hearing. During a May 28 court appearance, Knutson’s lawyer, Alexander Watt, indicated his client may be ready to enter pleas soon. Watt asked for a two-week adjournment to allow time to go over evidence.

Anti-Ajax groups have cash for research CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a recent fundraising effort able to garner more than $25,000, those critical of the proposed Ajax project will be able to hire experts — but it’s not the only pot of money at the disposal of anti-mine organizations. Four years ago, the federal government allotted about $32,000 to three groups for independent studies: two individuals on the part of Kamloops Area Protection Association (KAPA), Grasslands Conservation Council and $1,500 to a nearby ranching family. “It’s for scientific research. We still have the money,” said KAPA organizer John Schleiermacher. About $11,000 was earmarked for KAPA. It is intended to fund independent studies or review of the application put together

by consultants working for proponent KGHM Ajax. Grasslands Conservation Council received about $19,000, part of it on behalf of Kamloops Fish & Game Club and Kamloops Naturalists Society. Schleiermacher said spending must be approved by federal officials. “We’re going to review the application and see where the money is best spent,” he said. “We have a list of people.” That list will not include local scientists or engineers, however. “We want someone truly independent,” he said. “We don’t want someone living two kilometres from the pit.” Schleiermacher said the decision on hiring outside experts for review will be made after KGHM Ajax submits its application to the federal and provincial governments in late summer or fall.

On the fundraising side, representative Dianne Kerr said yesterday the Coalition of Concerned Community Groups reached the $25,000 mark with nine days remaining in a 30-day online campaign. All the funds go to independent study of the proposed copper and gold mine immediately south of Aberdeen and Pineview Valley. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000. Kerr said while its goal has been reached through a crowd-funding site, the campaign will remain open until June 18 in a bid to increase the overall amount. “We need additional experts who will go through this application to ensure key issues are addressed properly,” she said in a statement. “Any additional funding will allow us to conduct a more in-depth review, as we will be able to hire more experts.” The group turned down a $5,000 donation from KGHM Ajax.

Interior Health on hunt for new CEO The Interior Health Authority has started the search for a new president and chief executive officer after the man now holding those posts announced he will resign later this year. Dr. Robert Halpenny has been president and CEO of the IHA for more than five years, but has told the board he wants to pursue other opportunities. Halpenny joined the IHA as a senior medical director in 2007. Before that, he was provincial executive director of cardiac services at the Provincial Health Authority. He has also been vice-president of medicine in the Fraser Health Authority, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., and at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Vancouver. Highlights during his tenure as CEO include: • Creating ground- and air-based critical-care transport programs; • Establishing the first cardiac program — including open-heart surgery — outside the Lower Mainland and Victoria; • Partnering with UBC-Okanagan

Dr. Robert Halpenny will step down as president and CEO of the Interior Health Authority in the fall to pursue other opportunities.

to establish teaching sites across the health authority to support the Southern Medical Program; • Investing more than $750 million in new, upgraded and expanded capital facilities from Cranbrook to Williams Lake; • Opening 473 residential-care beds in 16 communities; • Expanding numerous telehealth programs, resulting in almost 70,000 annual visits that have connected specialists with patients who remain in their home communities; and • Being recognized as a B.C.

much of a concern. “That’s not a vital part of why we’re doing this. It’s just the support for the community,” he said. The city will finalize details of the referendum at a council meeting on June 16. Milobar said consultants should be ready to present a more fully developed concept for the centre, which has yet to be designed, in late July or early August.

Also included in the budget is $10 million in federal and provincial grants and naming-rights deals. Mayor Peter Milobar called the Fawcetts’ donation “phenomenal” and said the city is hoping it will encourage other private residents and corporate donors to get out their chequebooks. “There’s some people saying, and rightfully so, there

should be not just governmental money, but other monies in there, and this is a big first step in that direction, in terms of trying to secure other people and other companies that would be wanting to step forward,” he said.

A Kamloops man is expected to face multiple drug-trafficking charges after police last week seized pounds of hard drugs from a Valleyview stash house. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Mounties pulled a vehicle over after it left a home in the 2700-block of Valleyview Drive on June 4. Inside the car, Mounties found one pound of cocaine, which resulted in a search warrant for the home. Inside, Bush said, police found another pound of cocaine, a half-pound of meth, 1.5

ounces of heroin and more than 750 pills that could either be oxycontin or fentanyl. “This is a significant seizure for us to see in town,” Bush said. A 46-year-old man was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court. Police are recommending multiple counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The suspect’s name has not been released. • Meanwhile, in addition to displaying some of the drug stash seized at a media briefing yesterday, Kamloops Mounties also showed reporters some of the

Dead bear likely fell from vehicle

ALIYA’S TRESSES PUT TO GOOD USE

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Provincial wildlife officials speculate a dead bear found last month in a West End alley may have been legally shot and accidentally dumped. Conservation officer Kevin Van Damme said yesterday tips came in after the bear was found late last month by a resident in alley in the 100-block between Battle and Nicola streets. That information did not help solve the mystery, however. A necropsy determined the female adult bear found wrapped in a shower curtain was shot. Van Damme said it is unlikely the bear was a nuisance animal shot by a neighbour elsewhere and dumped in the West End because it does not correspond to any bear complaints. Interviews with residents in the area determined West End back alleys and side streets are seeing increased traffic related to the Columbia Street widening project, giving credence to the accident theory. “It’s our belief the bear was on the back of a truck and fell out in the alley,” Van Damme said. It is legal for hunters to kill female black bears in the current season, provided they are not with cubs.

Those expense claims will go to an arbitrator. In an official response contained in the report, the senator appointed in 2009 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper said she found what she deemed “administrative errors” on her own for the ski show visit and community board meeting and repaid the money before meeting with auditors. She said she considered the aboriginal meeting Senate business and didn’t realize the ticket was considered a charitable contribution. Raine said she has attended the ski show for four decades, where she now promotes Sun Peaks Resort. She said under the system she first used when entering the Senate, she paid the extra $100 or so charge for the stopover between Vancouver and Ottawa. But, under the flight pass now used by senators, the additional cost of the stopover was missed. “No one is perfect,” she said. “I don’t want to make any excuses.” While admitting errors, Green Raine said the holiday stopover in Vancouver flagged in the report was part of her flight schedule. “It made sense to end my Senate working day at the hotel in Vancouver. I consider this part of my Senate travel,” she wrote on her Senate website in response. Green Raine said the wedding anniversary she attended was also a celebration of a Senate career. “I have the utmost confidence that it is not only permitted, but also recognized as a parliamentary function . . .” she wrote. “In the matter of Senate travel, and I say this with all due respect, I believe the office of the auditor general may not have a true understanding or appreciation of the realities of cross-country travel in Canada.” Greene Raine said her expenses are simple compared to senators who choose to live in Ottawa.

STOP THE PIGGIES AT THE TROUGH

oliticians at all levels need to get it through their heads that they are paid by taxpayers and that every penny of every expense submitted for reimbursement must be accounted for. The latest in a long list of political piggies at the trough concerns a group of senators who have, apparently, claimed expenses that were not connected to senator business. Some, like local Sen. Nancy Greene Raine, have already repaid a portion or all money involved, but the fact these claims were submitted is the problem. (The other problem is the fact taxpayers spent $21 million funding an audit that identified less than $1 million in questionable expense claims by senators.) While there may indeed be grey areas when it comes to submitting expense claims, common sense would dictate a politician ask for clarification when in doubt. We would think attending a ski show, as Greene Raine did, would be obvious to anybody that it is not Senate-related business. We would also think our senator should know better than to argue attending a wedding anniversary for a senator in Vancouver and trying to get reimbursed for $203 falls within Senate business. Senators are paid extremely well to act as a chamber of second sober thought in Ottawa — though, in reality, those in the Red Chamber are career lottery winners who serve the prime minister and the party that vaulted them into a lifetime of luxury. To see expense claims from the tens of thousands down to Greene Raine’s two-hundred bucks is an affront to the legions of taxpayers who fund their privileged lives while finding it more and more difficult to survive day by day. Enough is enough.

A Third World backwater?

e might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world? Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced. In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.” Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies. Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land-use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience. McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project.” In the early years, however, he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while

TOM OM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit. At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast — the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places. Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production. The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience. I wrote recently about the plan by British manufacturing con-

glomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon-credit market. They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbonneutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests. Back to reality. B.C.’s auditor general issued a report this month calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C. The government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010. Among other things, they noted 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land-use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values. Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

PET OWNERSHIP REQUIRES COMMITMENT Editor: Why does the issue of pets in vehicles always seem to rear its ugly head every year when it gets hot? Would people leave their two-year-old in a vehicle? Most animals are working with an equivalent of a two-year-old human brain and obviously cannot speak for themselves. But, one of the things that registers with them is pain and distress. Put yourself in that position. Would we sit in a hot car with the windows rolled partially or all the way up? The answer is no. I am not going to say I have not let my dog ride in a pickup truck, because I have. But, that was long ago. We have had many pets over the years and, as I remember, we were forced to

LEADERSHIP DOES NOT SUPPORT HARM TO HEALTH Editor: I am curious how those who sign in support of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine can be considered business leaders. These individuals have been seduced into believing a large open-pit mine dangerously close to Kamloops is actually a good thing — and they conveniently ignore reliable information that identifies the potential harm to our health and environment. That doesn’t sound like leadership. We also hear that old familiar chorus about “waiting for the results of the environmen-

tal assessment.” This phrase has become the mantra of those who naively hold the view there will be no harm caused by the mine, or that harmful impacts will be tolerable. It seems quite obvious that “no harm” is always preferable to “tolerable harm,” but not to these business leaders. KGHM Ajax strategically aligns itself with as many parts of our community as possible to create the illusion of public consent. Their recent donation of $5,000 to the mine’s opponents (which has since been

returned) is the most recent example of KGHM Ajax’s desperate attempt to create this illusion. In spite of all the discussions, a simple fact remains: The proposed Ajax mine should never have been considered in the first place. The outdated Mineral Tenure Act made it possible for KGHM to initiate the Ajax project with total disregard for our community’s well-being. Are we now to trust they truly have our best interests at heart? These business leaders seem to think so.

I have been a business owner in Kamloops since 2003. I am deeply concerned about the health and environmental impacts associated with having a large open-pit mine so close to Kamloops — and I know I am not the only business owner deeply opposed to the proposed mine. I have not been approached by KGHM to discuss my concerns, nor have I enjoyed any of the company’s catered lunches or social gatherings. I suppose that means I am not a “business leader.” Andrew Bezooyen Kamloops

“As a facilities supervisor for many years, I feel best practices for identifying valves is not being followed. “Colour coding is only done in green (go/turn on) and red (stop/shutoff), along with a keychain tag in English hanging on the valve to identify the valve’s function, like sewer shutoff (red valve). In an emergency, no operator has time to get and read diagrams, but must only rely on the colour coding and tag identifier on each valve. “Trust me, this eliminates all human error as even an untrained person can locate the proper valve, if required. “I suggest the city adopt this best practice in all buildings. “Often facility diagrams are outdated and they never get proper attention as they become low priorities in daily functions, which is a problem in itself.” — posted by Jim

Millwright course to begin at NorKam DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If Sheryl Lindquist was a high school student right now, she’d be looking pretty seriously at the new millwright course being offered at the NorKam Trades and Technology Centre. Lindquist, School District 73 principal for secondary transitions, said she was searching job opportunities for the trade online, curious to see what kind of market awaits students who will graduate from the program that starts on Aug. 4. “I looked at indeed.ca and there were 275 jobs in B.C. for millwrights,” Lindquist said. “And I Googled millwright jobs in B.C. and there was a chocolate factory and, of course, the mills. . . . Sleeman, Labatt’s, sawmills, hospitals. Anywhere there is a stationary equipment line, they need a millwright.” The new program is open to nine students for each of the fall and winter semesters and is being offered in partnership with Thompson Rivers University, which will supply a teacher. Millwrights are industrial mechanics who deal with everything from ski lifts to mines to wind tur-

bines to making tea, Lindquist said. They’re required to have several skills, including electrical and welding — anything that might affect machinery. Lindquist said she found one job opening that described the ideal millwright candidate as someone mechanical with a strong aptitude for solving puzzles and enjoying hands-on work. “I would have loved to be a millwright,” she said. “You really are a Jack or Jill of all trades.” With the school year ending, interested students should contact their trades and technology co-ordinator or Ron Collins, the district’s vice-principal for trades and transitions, at 250-318-7492. While the program is open to current students, those who have graduated, but are not turning 19 until after July 1, can also apply for the course, Lindquist said. Students will have to pass the accuplacer exam, which has a difficulty level that falls somewhere between welder and electrician levels, Lindquist said. In announcing the program last month, TRU noted the plan is to grow from the foundations level being offered at NorKam to courses on campus leading to a fourth-year apprentice level.

Interchange now open Drivers began using the new Pritchard interchange on Highway 1 yesterday. The interchange, about 40 kilometres east of Kamloops, is intended to provide safer access along the TransCanada Highway, particularly for residents and visitors to Pritchard. Motorists are reminded to obey traffic-control workers and construction speed limits and to watch for workers and highway message boards, as work continues on the second phase of the Monte Creek to Prichard project, which is expected

to be completed later this year. Traffic advisories and web cam views continue to be available online at www.drivebc.ca. Project information is available online at: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/ highwayprojects/bchwy1/index. html. Do you have an event for the

Search crews were mobilized yesterday after two Vernon men didn’t return home from a fishing trip to the Kamloops area. After spending a night in the woods, the pair was found by searchers yesterday. RCMP was notified at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday that the 41- and 65-year-old men didn’t return from Todd Lake, west of Monte Lake, which is between Vernon and Kamloops. “They typically fish this lake,” said Al Hobler, with Kamloops Search and Rescue.

scribed for Sykes’s ankylosing spondylitis, a debilitating inflammatory condition. The disease has twisted his limbs and causes him severe pain. While Balison argued for three months in jail, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Victoria Gray sided with defence lawyer Don Campbell, who said Sykes’s medical needs cannot be accommodated in jail. “This is a man on a crushing amount of painkillers,” Campbell said. “It’s transformed his life.”

Sykes can no longer work and lives on disability payments. Campbell said he needs housing similar to seniors’ assisted living. The woman struck in the crosswalk was off work for three months. She still walks with aid of a cane. “These are things that would normally lead to a prison term,” Gray said. “I agree with Mr. Campbell: It’s extraordinary circumstances with the degree of pain and the effect of his illness.”

Suspecting drug impairment, Mounties administered a roadside test and also obtained a urine sample. Tests found a cocktail of morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone, ketamine and lidocaine.

“They were dressed in shorts and not prepared to be out overnight.” The RCMP Air4 helicopter searched the area on Tuesday night and yesterday morning and Kamloops Search and Rescue volunteers were called to the area at 9:30 a.m. yesterday. “It’s just full of logging roads and there’s lots of places to get lost,” said Hobler, adding that while ground crews were used, the unit relied on air support. The fishermen men were located at about noon yesterday.

Premier says RCMP probe claim was a ‘mistake’ Premier Christy Clark has apologized for wrongly claiming an RCMP investigation was underway in relation to several former health ministry researchers who the government fired in 2012. Clark characterized the investigation claim as an error, but said little more when reporters asked her why the claims weren’t recanted until RCMP documents were released to the Vancouver Sun under Access to Information law. “It was a mistake that was made and that’s why we apologized for it,” Clark said.

The Province

“When government makes mistakes, government has an obligation to apologize.” The released documents show the RCMP closed its file in the summer of 2014 because Mounties never received information from the province justifying a criminal investigation. Health Minister Terry Lake told reporters he was never informed the Mounties weren’t investigating. The province previously admitted the firings were a mistake and settled out of court with most of the employees. One researcher committed suicide. NDP MLA Adrian Dix said the government intentionally misled the public for years on the RCMP probe and wrongly smeared the researchers despite legal advice against mentioning police involvement.

TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.ca

If you don’t believe the image of Jesus Christ can show up in a waterfall, visit Margaret Falls and you may be one of the believers who is able to see the image of the Prince of Peace sitting on a throne while peeking out through the rushing water. A 15-minute walk up Reinecker Creek, through a rock chasm and over numerous wooden bridges, brings you to the magnificent Margaret Falls. Water from the creek cascades down a sheer rock face and creates a natural shower — one that tempts many an adventurous swimmer in the summer months. Although there is a warning sign, numerous people climb into the small pool and sneak into the cave hidden inside the waterfall. For those wanting a more challenging workout, try the Upper Canyon Trail. The 2.5-kilometre, one-way trail takes you to a beau-

tiful southeast viewpoint overlooking the Salmon Arm section of Shuswap Lake. The trail then follows Reinecker Creek high above Margaret Falls to a bridge, where you cross and return to the trail parking lot.

How to get there

From Kamloops, travel east toward Salmon Arm on Highway 1. Turn onto Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road just before Tappen. Follow the signs to Harold Park for about 12 kilometres and you will see the parking lot for Margaret Falls just after the entrance to the park. Although Harold Park is closed in the winter and spring, the falls are open year-round.

Fun fact

The image of Christ has appeared on everything from wood panelling and bananas to ultrasounds and moths. teresathetraveler..ca

RODEO RETURNING TO RIVER CITY MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ou can’t tell how good a man or a watermelon is ‘til they get thumped, as the old saying goes. The B.C. High School Rodeo Association (BCHSRA) Finals — swatted out of Kamloops 12 years ago with the demise of the former Kamloops Exhibition Association (KXA) grounds in the Mount Paul Industrial Park— are rolling back into the River City this weekend. “Kamloops has been our home since 1972, when the first high-school rodeo was held at the Kalyk-Bryson ranch in Barnhartvale,” said Pat Kerr, a director with the BCHSRA. “We’re fortunate to have them back now. These kids have been rodeoing and riding together since they were in little britches, before they were in school. Now, they’re getting ready to graduate and go and do bigger and better things.” The provincial finals will run from today to Sunday at the fledgling KXA grounds on the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh. Read more about the KXA’s rebirth at the Ranch in KTW in the coming weeks. This old watermelon promises to be tastier than ever, thanks mostly to the local competitors who will be goat tying, breakaway roping, cutting, pole bending, saddle-bronc riding, bull riding, team roping, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and barrel racing

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW

Samantha Kerr (from left) and the Wills triplets — Brett, McKenzie and Lane — don’t have any mud on their shirts in this picture, but they will be getting dirty this weekend when the B.C. High School Rodeo Association Finals return to Kamloops after a 12-year hiatus.

their way into the hearts of those in attendance. The BCHSRA is split into two regions, north and south. The top 12 in each event from each region qualify for provincials, where the top-four finishers will book their tickets to the National High School Finals Rodeo, which runs from July 12 to July 18 in Rock Springs, Wyo. The Wills triplets — Lane, McKenzie and Brett, each of them graduating Grade 12 students at Valleyview secondary — are

among the cowgirls looking to lasso a trip to the Cowboy State. “It’s sentimental that this is the last one because you don’t have many opportunities to do this as you get older,” said McKenzie, who qualified to compete this weekend in barrel racing, breakaway roping, pole bending and team roping. “When you’re younger, it’s good to have these opportunities throughout your high-school career. It’s bittersweet. I’m going to be sad by the end of it, for sure.” Lane tied for first in goat tying

last year at provincials and Brett and McKenzie were first and third, respectively, in barrel racing, with each of them earning trips to nationals. For many, the B.C. Finals will mark the pinnacle and perhaps the end of their rodeo careers, an emotional weekend featuring the BCHSRA dance-and-dinner graduation ceremony on Saturday night. More than $25,000 in scholarships were handed out at the 2014 grad banquet, with

a similar amount expected to be shelled out this year. Sam Kerr, student president of the BCHSRA’s southern region, is looking to claim the all-around girls’ championship — and do so on home soil. “Everyone is your family in the rodeo association and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” said Kerr, who finished the regular season ranked first overall in the girls’ southern division. “It’s nice to have it in your hometown and I love that we have the KXA grounds again. That’s pretty awesome.” Kerr, a Grade 11 student at South Kamloops secondary, will be riding some of the horses — Rookie Joe, Squirt and Denim — her elder sister Rachel rode to gold at the 2014 Canadian High School Rodeo Finals in Nanton, Alta. Rookie Joe, 22, is five years older than Sam. “I’ve been riding him since I was eight or nine,” Sam said of her quarter-horse companion. “He’s like my good old faithful, a part of the family. “This lifestyle is all I’ve known. My whole family, it’s what we do.” Kerr has a busy weekend ahead of her, having qualified in six events — barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping, cutting and team roping. The Wills triplets, who moved to Kamloops from Quesnel two years ago, have been participating at the provincial rodeo finals since they were in Grade 6. See KAMLOOPS, A18

Kamloops the ‘birthplace of high-school rodeo in B.C. From A17

“A lot of these kids we’ve grown up with forever,” Brett said. “There is going to be a graduation banquet and we get to wear our dresses and suits. It’s like one last hurrah.” Norm Kerr, father to Rachel and Sam, is the president of the BCHSRA. “Kamloops is kind of the birthplace of high-school rodeo in British Columbia and the final was held here for many years, until they lost the old KXA ground,” Norm said. “It’s very, very entertaining to watch these young athletes give it their all. The sport is one of the best, where everybody helps everybody.” With the continuing construction of the KXA grounds in Rayleigh, it seems the best of the

The Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club was on the podium in seven events on the weekend, competing in the Ted Houk Regatta in Seattle. The club picked up three gold medals, one silver medal and three bronze medals. Competing in the K1 bantam men’s 200metre race, Stanley Netherton won the club’s first of three gold medals. He went on to capture two more firstplace finishes on Green Lake, winning gold in the 200m and 500m distances. The remainder of the club’s medals came in team events. Netherton added to his medal haul in the K4 juvenile men’s 1,000m, winning silver in a boat with Aiden Tabata, Spencer Robinson and Michael Lanyon. The quartet also won a bronze medal in the K4 junior men’s 1,000m. Lanyon, Robinson and Tabata also joined Isaiah Buist for the K4 open/masters men’s 1,000m, again medalling with a thirdplace finish. Lanyon and Robinson later teamed up in the K2 juvenile men’s 1,000m race, winning the club’s third bronze medal.

Three members of the Kamloops Martial Arts school won gold at the Shuswap Open in Salmon Arm. Dominic Callet, 12, earned a first-place finish in patterns and a third-place finish in sparring; third-dan black belt Ben Desrochers, 18, won silver in patterns and placed fourth in sparring; and Owen Gallant, 10, won gold in sparring.

Tournament Capital ropes in Hockey Day in Canada ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops will be the host city of the 2016 Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada. The 16th rendition of the national hockey event will be broadcast live from the Tournament Capital on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016. “Up until this event, I’ve been telling people the World Women’s Hockey Championship, in terms of international exposure, is the biggest event we’ve ever held,” said Jeff Putnam, City of Kamloops parks and civic facilities manager. “But, in terms of the millions of people watching . . . this will be the biggest event we’ve ever held, from a marketing standpoint.” Hockey Day in Canada is an annual event celebrating the nation’s love for the game of hockey. Hockey icon Ron MacLean will host the 13-hour Sportsnet broadcast, live from Kamloops. All seven Canadian NHL teams will be in action throughout the day. Don Cherry will also be in Kamloops for the event. Putnam said the city has been in discussions for the event for about six months, after being shortlisted by organizers. The local bid committee was made up of representatives from the City of Kamloops, the Kamloops Minor

Hockey Association, the Western Hockey League and Kamloops Blazers, as well as a few other local partners. The bid committee was notified Kamloops was selected as the host a few days ago. The festivities will begin in Kamloops on Feb. 3, culminating with Hockey Day in Canada on Feb. 6. Putnam said the exact details of the event are still to be determined. He did divulge there will be a nationally televised Kamloops Blazers game as part of the event and there has also been discussion of the Kamloops Storm playing an afternoon matinee at Interior Savings Centre. There might also be an NHL alumni game played in the Tournament Capital. Now that Kamloops has been selected as the host locale, a local organizing committee (LOC) will be formed shortly. The bid committee, along with other representatives from the Kamloops sporting community, will be involved. Details for the week of festivities will be worked out over the

summer, with a finalized event schedule expected to be completed by the end of August. “It’s really exciting,” Putnam said. “I know Tourism Kamloops is doing backflips right now.” Putnam was unable to put a finger on the exact economic impact of the event, but said it will attract people from all over the region. The city will invest a nominal amount in hosting the event. Hockey Day in Canada will shine an especially big light on Kamloops this year, Putnam noted, as the

relationship between Rogers and CBC broadcasts should yield one of the largest Hockey Night in Canada audiences ever. The event also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Western Hockey League. The Blazers and the WHL were heavily involved in bringing the event to Kamloops. The Blazers were unavailable for comment, but Putnam said the 50th anniversary of the WHL will be “front and centre” throughout the four days of hockey celebration. In its previous 15

years, Hockey Day in Canada has only once been hosted in British Columbia — the event was held in Nelson in 2007. Next year is shaping up to be a big one in Kamloops. In April, the IIHF World Women’s Hockey Championship will also be held in the city, with the eight-team tournament’s 22 games to be played at ISC and McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. When MacLean was in Kamloops in March to speak at the 50th anniversary dinner of the Central Interior

chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, he promised the crowd he would return in three years to help the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament celebrate its half-century milestone. MacLean also noted his desire to have Kamloops in the spot-

light during the annual Hockey Day in Canada celebration. With the announcement this week that Hockey Day in Canada is indeed coming to the Tournament Capital next February, it would seem MacLean will soon be very familiar with the geography of the city.

Cavs have lead, but still work to do in NBA final “We hold them to 55 points for three quarters and we allowed them to break off with 36. That’s not satisfying at all,” James said of the final period. “But, the best teacher in life is experience. We experienced it tonight. We’re going to watch a lot of film tomorrow on ways we can get better, close out games the best way, and we’ll be ready for Game 4.” Holding on took everything the Cavs had, especially from Matthew Dellavedova, who required treatment at a hospital for severe cramping. And even though Cleveland did, Golden

BRIAN MAHONEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — The lead in the NBA final belongs to Cleveland, though some momentum may be with the Warriors. So, LeBron James celebrated the victory, but fretted the finish after Golden State finally looked like the NBA’s best team in a fourth-quarter flurry, before the Cavaliers held on for a 96-91 victory and a 2-1 series lead. That left James saying afterward the Cavs needed to figure some things out, while the Warriors seemed to think they already had.

State’s confidence wasn’t dented. “We’ve just got to bottle up what we did the fourth quarter and bring that for 48 minutes starting in Game 4,” said Stephen Curry, who scored 17 of his 27 points in the fourth. Other things to watch: • Dellavedova’s determination: Shortly after James praised his scrappy point guard for his effort across 38.5 minutes, an NBA official announced that Dellavedova wouldn’t make it to his interview because of his cramping. • Lebron’s load: James has been so good in this series that he scored 40 points

and his scoring average actually dropped to 41 per game. He has two 40-point games in the series, two shy of the NBA Finals record held by Jerry West (1969) and Michael Jordan (1993). “He understands the moment,” coach David Blatt said. “He understands the situation and he is a big, big, big-time player. He can get it done.” • No DNP for D-Lee: David Lee didn’t play in Games 1 or 2, but apparently has already locked up a spot in Game 4. Lee got his first action of the series Tuesday and was one of the catalysts in the Warriors’ comeback. He

scored nine of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, helped Golden State with its rebounding problem and most importantly helped create some space for Curry with his play in the pick-and-roll. “I think we found something there with David Lee that’s working for us,” Andre Iguodala said. “So he’s going to get some more minutes, I would like to think, going forward, and then other guys will see how effective he is and they’ll do the same.” Iguodala was right. Coach Steve Kerr said there would be more of Lee in the series.

• Been there, done that: The Warriors pointed to the Western Conference semifinal against Memphis in saying their confidence wasn’t shaken by their 2-1 deficit. They were down 2-1 in that series against another team that plays rugged defence, then didn’t lose another game in the series. “This reminds me so much of the Memphis series,” guard Klay Thompson said. “Hopefully it will be the same result. “We haven’t even had a good game offensively these three games and we’re still in every game.”

Herdman: New Zealand has no secrets for Canada in World Cup EDMONTON — A confident John Herdman dissected New Zealand’s tactics at his pre-game news conference yesterday at the Women’s World Cup. And the Canadian coach made it clear he does not expect the Football Ferns to bring anything new to the table today. “Very clearly, we’re a better

team . . . And I think quality for quality, we’re a better team than New Zealand,’’ said Herdman. “And if we connect and we connect like we did against China for periods and we improve on some things and we live the game plan, Canada should win this game. I said this right from the onset, we should win this group.’’

Winning the group means less travel and avoiding other group winners until deeper into the 24-team tournament. Canada, ranked eighth in the world, is coming off a 1-0 win over No. 16 China while No. 17 New Zealand was beaten 1-0 by the 12th-ranked Netherlands in the other opening

Group A match. Herdman is no stranger to the Kiwis. He used to coach them and current head coach Tony Readings is his former assistant. The closest thing to a broadside sent back in Herdman’s direction was Readings’ comment that the New Zealand squad has more depth than ever.

Herdman called New Zealand a stiff test but then went into detail on how they can be overcome. A tournament spokesman said the last ticket count was 25,000 for today’s doubleheader. Saturday’s opener in Edmonton drew 53,058. — The Canadian Press

JOHN HOWARD PETERSON March 15, 1920 – June 6, 2015 John was born March 15, 1920 at the family farm near Galahad, Alberta and passed away peacefully at his Kamloops home on June 6, 2015. John and his wife Mary moved from Alberta to North Kamloops in 1945 where they lived until 1952 when they moved to an acreage in Brocklehurst. Their children were born in Kamloops and spent the majority of their lives in the Brocklehurst home. John started work on the farm at Tranquille, moved to the Powerhouse, went back to school, worked his way up and retired as Chief Stationary Engineer at the Powerhouse. He was coach for the boy’s softball team, a Cub Scout leader and was on the committee that brought Norbrock Stadium to McArthur Island Park.

EVELYN VIOLET FLEET October 27, 1912 – May 28, 2015 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Evelyn Violet Fleet (nee Batley) beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother on Thursday morning, May 28th, 2015 in her 103rd year. Evelyn is survived by her loving children Barbara Stevens, Robert (Cordella) Weir, Bill Weir, Lawrie (Gail) Weir, Marilyn (Wayne) Wilson and John (Flo) Weir. William Weir her husband and children’s father sadly passed away in 1972. Evelyn was also predeceased by her mother, father, three brothers and sister. Evelyn adored and cherished all of her nine grandchildren Judi, Rick, Kit, Susan, Chris, Randy, Michelle, Troy and Laura followed by her nine great-grandchildren Sharla, Leslie, Kate, Emily, Shane, Kendra, Riece, Jessica and Christina plus her great-greatgranddaughter Madelynn. Evelyn always kept her birthday book up to date never missing a birthday. Evelyn had two extended families by marriages both of which have predeceased Evelyn (Harvey Shields) and Levi Fleet. She will be greatly missed by all of her families who she loved and cared for. Evelyn was born in a sod house in Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan. When Evelyn was young she loved playing baseball and could run like the wind. She rode horses bareback, worked with a local doctor and she even went on rounds with him. Evelyn loved babies! As Evelyn matured one of her passions was playing the organ. She loved music and dancing. She had a green thumb especially when it came to her African Violets which took up residence in all her windows. Evelyn sewed most of her children’s clothes when they were young and on the farm. Evelyn was a wonderful homemaker and thrived on making all who visited a cup of tea and a slice of one of her delicious cakes. Evelyn had a firm belief in the Bible and read it each day and felt it helped her through all of life’s ups and downs. Her favorite saying was, “every cloud has a silver lining.” A special thanks to all the loving, caring staff at the Evergreen section in Overlander Care Home especially all (Evelyn’s girls). Also a special thank you, to Dr. Proctor her eye specialist and friend. A Celebration of Evelyn’s Life will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 13th, 2015 at the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel (285 Fortune Drive, by the Overlander Bridge on the North Shore).

Centre for Seniors Information

Elder abuse a growing concern Elder abuse includes actions that cause physical, mental, financial or sexual harm to an older adult. Neglect includes situations where a person or organization fails to provide services or necessary care for an older adult. In 2017 Canada will celebrate its 150th birthday. As the baby boomer generation ages, according to Statistics Canada, eight million Canadians will be over the age of 65 by 2031. That’s nearly 25 per cent of the population. A growing number of those in this age bracket are reporting that they are the victims of abuse. Seniors are the least likely demographic to suffer violent crime, but they are most at risk of suffering violence at the hand of a family member. In 2007, Statistics Canada reported the overall rate of police-reported violence against seniors increased by an estimated 20 per cent between 1998 and 2005.

Generally, it is a challenge to estimate the prevalence and incidence of elder abuse. This is due to many factors such as underreporting, confusion about what constitutes elder abuse and a general lack of awareness, among other factors. However, based on available Canadian data, it is estimated that between four per cent and 10 per cent of older adults in Canada experience some type of abuse.

Quick Stats • Seven per cent of older adults report some form of emotional and financial abuse by an adult child, spouse or caregiver. • Seven per cent report emotional abuse, one per cent financial abuse and one per cent physical or sexual abuse. • In 32 per cent of reported elder abuse cases, the offender is a family member (adult child, cur-

rent or former spouse). Elder abuse can take several forms. Among them: • Neglect: Signs include unkempt appearance, broken glasses, lack of appropriate clothing as well as malnutrition, dehydration and poor personal hygiene. • Physical abuse: Signs include untreated or unexplainable injuries in various stages of healing, limb and skull fractures, bruises, black eyes and welts. • Psychological/emotional abuse: Watch for changes in behavior (emotional upset/agitation resulting in sucking, biting, rocking), withdrawal or non-responsiveness. • Economic/financial abuse: Watch for sudden changes in bank accounts or banking activity, and major changes to legal documents such as powers of attorney and wills.

NATIONAL NEWS QUEBEC

Gilles Duceppe returns to lead Bloc Quebecois into upcoming federal election PETER RAKOBOWCHUK

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Gilles Duceppe is back at the helm of Bloc Quebecois and says voters in the province need to side with a federal party this fall that will put their interests first. Duceppe told a news conference yesterday that Quebec’s voice in Ottawa has weakened under the NDP and only a strong Bloc presence can change that. “We are better represented when we’re represented by people thinking like us,’’ Duceppe said, making his return official at Bloc headquarters in Montreal. “Democratically elected and speaking the way we want them to speak, defending the interests which are our interests.’’ He advised the NDP to focus its efforts elsewhere: “Let us beat Harper in Quebec and do your job in the rest of Canada — that would be of a great help.’’ But NDP leader Tom Mulcair said Wednesday that after four years, Quebecers still have a positive view of his party and want positive change. “They want something moving forward,’’ he told reporters in Ottawa. “They don’t want to play as extras in Back to the Future 4.’’ Duceppe, 67, faces the monumental task of getting the moribund political party ready for the upcoming federal election in a matter of months. The Bloc currently has just two MPs out of 75 in Quebec. The veteran politician takes over from Mario Beaulieu, whose tenure was marked by strife within the party. Duceppe made it clear it was about working with Beaulieu and not pushing him aside. Duceppe noted the party is in good financial shape, has 20,000 members and an association in

all 78 Quebec ridings, although only about onethird of candidates have been selected. “The gesture we’re making today isn’t Duceppe replacing Beaulieu, it’s Duceppe joining Beaulieu and the team in place and those who will come,’’ Duceppe said. “We’re adding, we joining together and we’ll move forward together.’’ Duceppe invited sovereigntists of all stripes to rally under the Bloc banner. Beaulieu, a hardline sovereigntist who was previously head of the Societe Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montreal, won the Bloc leadership race nearly one year ago on a sovereignty-first platform. The political novice concluded he was running out of time with this fall’s federal election looming. Enter Duceppe, who Beaulieu said will give the Bloc campaign an experienced leader and a name recognition he doesn’t have. “I came to the conclusion that we needed to give new breath to the Bloc campaign,’’ Beaulieu said. “I’m convinced that, with Gilles Duceppe as leader, we are headed towards a new victory for the Bloc.’’ Beaulieu will stay on as party president. Duceppe said he decided to reprise a roll he held for 14 years after a discussion with Parti Quebecois Leader Pierre Karl Peladeau, who assured him the PQ is ready to provide the Bloc with support. Duceppe became leader in 1997 and, under his stewardship, the party won 44, 38, 54, 51 and 49 seats before the 2011 meltdown. The party won a mere four seats that year as Jack Layton’s NDP roared through the province. Among the casualties included Duceppe, who lost the Montreal riding he had held since winning a byelection in 1990. Duceppe said he hasn’t chosen a riding yet. Mulcair said the Bloc’s objective is to replace the NDP in Quebec. But he said his party is committed to replacing “division and fear with hope and optimism.’’ Denis Lebel, the Conservatives’ Quebec lieutenant, said that prior to 2011, the Bloc elected large teams of MPs who did little for Quebec.

CBC says fired host did not meet ethics standard CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The editor-in-chief of CBC News says the public broadcaster represents the “very highest standard of journalistic conduct and ethics’’ and former host Evan Solomon did not meet that benchmark. Jennifer McGuire issued a statement to CBC employees yesterday, a day after it fired the host of Power & Politics. That move came in the wake of a Toronto Star report that alleged Solomon secretly brokered lucrative art sales to wealthy contacts he also approached for interviews. McGuire said she could give few specifics on the Solomon case but added the decision to cut ties to the host was made shortly before the Star piece was published. She called it “another difficult week’’ for the CBC, which has been engulfed by a series of controversies involving high-profile hosts. “A decision like this is never pleasant,’’ stated McGuire. “CBC News represents the very highest standard of journalistic

conduct and ethics. “We live up to that every day. In this case, that standard was not met.’’ Solomon has said he never intentionally used his position to promote the private partnership and that he was “deeply sorry’’ for any damage his activities had caused. In her memo, McGuire noted a journalist had recently written that TV news was “shooting itself in the foot’’ as it faced scandal after scandal. “People have questioned the integrity of our news. And that of CTV, Global, NBC and ABC. . . . The sad reality is that any ethical lapse reflects badly on the entire profession,’’ she said in the memo. “It’s time for every single professional journalist and media organization to stop providing ammunition.’’ Earlier, a CBC spokesman said the public broadcaster didn’t know the full extent of Solomon’s dealings when he alerted bosses to a side business two months ago. Chuck Thompson said the full picture only came together after an internal review earlier this week revealed additional details. He declined to reveal what was uncovered and how. Thompson said Solomon told the CBC in April that he and his wife were in a business relationship with an art dealer but that Solomon himself was “not an active partner.’’

EVAN SOLOMON Thompson added that senior management made it clear “that the business arrangement could not intersect with [Solomon’s] work at CBC.’’ CBC’s code of ethics demands employees “not use their positions to further their personal interests.’’ “At some point, you’d like to believe you can take people at their word,’’ Thompson said yesterday. “As soon as we found out about what we did, over the last two days, we moved swiftly and decisively. “We made a decision to terminate Evan’s employment at the CBC.’’ The public broadcaster is still reeling from a damning report that chastised bosses for how they handled sexual assault allegations involving former radio host Jian Ghomeshi. Ghomeshi was fired after CBC executives saw what they described as graphic evidence that he had physically injured a woman. Ghomeshi has admitted to engaging in rough sex but said it was consensual.

BAT MAN

oug Burles is listening, but he can’t hear. Neither can anyone else. Fortunately, he’s got a bat detector. Clutching a tablet with a microphone that picks up bats’ high-frequency echolocation, Burles knows moments before the plum-sized mammals will emerge from a barn at Tranquille. The bursts and clicks of Yuma bats and little brown myotis are in a range that cannot be picked up by the human ear. “It’s a loud scream,” said the retired wildlife biologist. “It’s been measured up to 110db. It would be deafening if we could hear it.” Earlier this month, Burles and a group of volunteers stood beneath the barn to count the number of bats emerging at dusk. See BATS, B3

DONKEY DAYS BACK AT REFUGE Last year’s Donkey Days in Turtle Valley attracted people from Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and the Shuswap. Support for longears (as donkey lovers call them) also came from Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. This year, the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge has opted to host smaller events and more visiting days. Founder Shirley

Mainprize has been rescuing donkeys for 16 years and the refuge has been open to the public since 2007. “In the last year, we have received so much support from donors as we stepped into situations where donkeys were at risk,” Mainprize said. “The last few donkeys taken into care have come to us with an array of health

issues. To acclimatize a donkey to its surroundings and rebuild trust is a long process and smaller groups of visitors facilitate this process better.” Membership Appreciation Day on Sunday is an example of a smaller event Mainprize hopes will bring more people into contact with donkeys that have been rescued. Donkey Care

Classes will be hosted on June 20 and June 28, with participants learning about donkey health, grooming and care through hands-on experience with the animals. The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge is located at 7877 Skimikin Rd., just outside of Chase. It is open six days a week from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is closed Wednesdays.

Bats focus of provincial project Celebrating From B1

The tiny mammals’ first move is to skim beside another outbuilding at ground level and head to the estuary for a drink — where they lap water while skimming at speed — after sleeping through the day. The count is part of a larger B.C. community bat project to support conservation in the face of threats that include homeowners clearing them from buildings. The biggest threat is from a fungal disease — white nose syndrome — that is killing upwards of 75 per cent of affected bats in the eastern United States and Canada. It is expected to gradually move west, although Burles said research is showing movement of bats in Canada tends to be eastward. The disease has

Got bats? Want bats? The provincially funded Kamloops bat project can help property owners safely evict unwanted bats from buildings and help others establish bat houses. It also wants to develop a citizen-based science project to monitor populations before arrival of white nose syndrome. Bats are a protected species under the Wildlife Act. Of the 16 or so species in the province, about half are considered at risk of becoming endangered. More information is available online at bcbats.ca.

killed an estimated sixmillion bats. The count will give Burles a base on which to understand bat numbers in the region before arrival of white nose syndrome. “I’ve counted 100 to 300 bats here. If it drops to 10, we’ve

got a problem.” At Tranquille, the two species pack themselves tightly into a beam in the building’s rafters, sharing air space with pigeons. These are all pregnant females that need the heat of the building and sun above it to

keep the fetus healthy. The males are elsewhere, having little else to do but lower their body temperature and wait for mating season in fall. In addition to living in some agricultural buildings here, Burles said bats exist throughout Tranquille Valley, including in naturally existing cavities and trees. They are able to crawl inside a 1.5-centimetre crevice. Tranquille’s historic buildings provide quality summer habitat at the edge of the grasslands and forests, where bats will forage for mosquitos, moths, beetles and other insects for six hours a night. Their tiny size and need to conserve body heat means they need to pack the gaps in the barn like cheese strings in a snack container. B.C. has the highest bat diversity in Canada, with the

Interior’s dry climes providing the best habitat. For researchers like Burles, much of the appeal of bats goes beyond their uniqueness — heart rates that can range from 16 beats a minute to 1,000, for example. There is plenty of mystery for the only flying mammal, including where they go during B.C. winters. Burles said the bat project is interested in winter sightings, when bats sometimes rouse to drink, forage or stretch. A few species migrate south, but many remain in the Kamloops area. Many will find optimal temperatures in abandoned mines and rocky areas with a low, but stable, temperature. “They disappear,” Burles said. “We don’t know where they’re going.”

Safety board: Systems that prevent rear-end collisions should be standard in all new cars THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Automakers should immediately include as standard equipment in all new cars and commercial trucks systems that automatically brake or warn drivers to avoid rear-end collisions, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a report. The systems could prevent or mitigate more than 80 per cent of the rear-end collisions that cause about 1,700 deaths and a half-million injuries annually, the report said. There are about 1.7 million rear-end crashes each year in the U.S. Some of the collision-avoidance systems issue a warning to drivers that a collision is imminent, but do not automatically brake. The board recommended manufacturers begin by making a warning system standard, and then add automatic emergency braking after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration completes standards for them. The board has recommended adoption of collision-avoidance systems or other steps to encourage their use a dozen times over the past 20 years, but the report called progress “very limited.’’ Only four of 684

passenger vehicle models in 2014 included automatic braking systems as a standard feature: the MercedesBenz G Class 4X4, an SUV; the Subaru Forester and Outback, also SUVs, and the Subaru Legacy, a midsized sedan. When the systems are offered as options they are typically on high-end vehicles like Cadillac, Infiniti and Lexus models and are often bundled with non-safety features like heated seats or faux leather interiors, making the overall package more expensive. “You don’t pay extra for your seatbelt,’’ NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart said in a statement. “And you shouldn’t have to pay extra for technology that can help prevent a collision.’’ But, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers said collision avoidance systems should remain optional. “There are almost two dozen driver assists on sale now, and some consumers may prefer a 360 degree camera view or parking assist,’’ Gloria Bergquist, vice-president of the Alliance, said in an email. “Automakers see automatic braking as helpful to consumers, but consumers should decide what they want and need.’’ The board also recommended fed-

DRIVE BETTER — SOME SAFETY TIPS FROM ICBC • Stay back: Speeding and following too closely are high-risk driving behaviours that increase your risk of a crash. If you’re taking a road trip with family or friends this weekend, drive safely. • Yield: Every day there are situations where you need to yield to another vehicle, motorcyclist, pedestrian or cyclist. Failing to yield may seem harmless but it’s a high-risk driving behaviour that leads to crashes. When turning left, don’t let pedestrians be your blind spot. • Same old hogs: Crashes involving motorcyclists increase in summer. If you’re a driver waiting to make a left turn, look for oncoming motorcycles and yield right of way. If you’re a rider, protect yourself from serious injuries – wear an approved helmet and safety gear designed for riding.

eral regulators develop tests and standards to rate the performance of each vehicle’s collision-avoidance system and to incorporate those results into an expanded government safety rating system. “Slow and insufficient action on the part of the (highway traffic administration) to develop performance standards for these technologies and

require them in passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as a lack of incentives for manufacturers, has contributed to the ongoing and unacceptable frequency of rear-end crashes,’’ the report said. A complete collision avoidance system works by monitoring the environment around the vehicle either with light detec-

GET

tion, radar, cameras or a fusion of several technologies. When it detects a conflict, it begins by alerting the driver through visual or audible warning cues and preparing the brakes in anticipation of braking. If the conflict persists, the systems apply the braking or add additional braking force if the driver has already begun braking, but not

hard enough. The effectiveness of the systems depends heavily on the accuracy and timeliness of detection of the conflict, which can fluctuate depending on the quality of the installed sensors, cameras and target detection algorithms used. The traffic safety administration is investigating complaints that the

0 96

autonomous braking systems on newer Jeep Grand Cherokees can come on for no reason, increasing the risk of rear-end crashes. The traffic safety administration sets safety standards for cars and trucks and orders recalls for defective vehicles, while the safety board investigates accidents and makes safety recommendations.
