STRIKE HAS RECYCLABLES IN LIMBO

General Grants says it does not have the capacity to accept material ANDREA KLASSEN

As the strike at Emterra Environmental entered its third day yesterday, unionized workers at the recycling processing plant in Valleyview allege the company made an attempt to sneak nonunion workers across its picket line under the cover of darkness. United Steelworkers Local 1-417 president Marty Gibbons told KTW the company has not made an effort to contact the

union to negotiate an end to the strike, which prompted the city to suspend recycling pickup in Kamloops this week. “They have not responded to our last proposal,” Gibbons said. “The only action or interest in this Emterra’s shown was a cowardly attempt last night at 3 a.m. to sneak scabs across the line, which was turned back by our members.” Gibbons said Wednesday’s attempt to cross the picket line wasn’t the first of the strike. He said the company was

able to get some bottles and cans into the depot earlier this week, prompting the union to threaten secondary picket lines at Kamloops’ recycling depots. That issue has since been resolved, Gibbons said. The company’s 10 unionized workers are on strike over what Gibbons has called “ridiculously low” wages at the plant on Kelly Douglas Road, which processes the city’s recycling, as well as bottles from local depots.

Contract increases, along with snow- and fire-related overtime, are behind a jump in the number of city employees making more than $75,000 in 2014, said city CAO David Trawin. This year’s employee remuneration rolls, which contain data on employee pay above that threshold, show an additional 32 employees had a gross salary of more than $75,000, compared to 2013. In total, 256 employees made more than $75,000. Of those, 82 made more than $100,000. The numbers include vacation pay, overtime and other compensation. The city’s total payroll to staff and city councillors was more than $56 million, up from $53.9 million in 2013. Of that amount, $24.9 million went to the 82 highest-earning employees. Trawin said a new contract with CUPE staff, which included a one per cent pay raise in 2014 and another 6.5 per cent in raises over the next four years, is part of the reason for the higher salary numbers, as the increase was enough to bump some workers over the line to where their salaries must be publicly reported. “There were a lot of employees on that borderline and, before the new contract, a lot of those jobs — the engineering jobs, the higher tech jobs and the planner jobs — were just below that,” he said. Public works employees also saw more overtime in 2014 due to some

Council told ban won’t stop pesticide use ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A pair of Kamloops lawn-care companies say a ban on cosmetic pesticide use would put them out of business, but won’t stop the use of weed-killing products in the city. Jackie Doherty of Grassroots Lawncare and Terry Omrod of NutriLawn were at Tuesday’s city council meeting to speak against a pesticide ban proposed by Coun. Tina Lange earlier this month. Debate on the ban was postponed until at least July to allow members of the public to air their views on the issue. Both Doherty and Omrod showed council pictures of weed-killing products on the shelves of city stores, which they said would likely still be used by residents under a ban.

“I really doubt the stores are wasting valuable space on pallets of products that are not selling,” Doherty said. Omrod said lawn-care companies use far fewer pesticides than many people think because they only spray weeds, noting the products are used in conjunction with fertilizer, aeration and other pest-management techniques. Meanwhile, other products available to the public, such as weed killers meant to be attached to a garden hose for spraying, encourage a “blanket” application, he said “I don’t think a lot of people really understand what we do and how we do it,” Omrod told council. The pair said the pesticides they use are already regulated by the federal government to ensure safety and companies that apply them

in B.C. face other regulations, including regular inspections. Doherty said many of her customers are already planning to purchase their own weed killers if the ban is adopted. She said since they will be operating outside of the law, they won’t be subject to the same regulations or required to post the kind of signage her firm must erect to warn those who want to avoid pesticides. “The only people who will be targeted are the applicators,” she said of a ban. If the city is serious about banning cosmetic pesticides, Doherty said, it should strike a committee to look at the issue more closely or put it to a referendum in November when the performing arts centre goes to a vote. The pesticide debate will continue when council next meets on July 14.

Plans to build a destination waterpark at the city’s Tournament Capital Ranch have hit a snag, but the project is not dead yet. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell told council on Tuesday the province’s Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has signed off on some of its plans for the ranch lands, but needs more information on the waterpark proposal, including a more detailed layout. “They’re prepared to review that if and when we bring that back and we’re talking

to the proponent around that,” McCorkell said. The city plans to lease 11.5 hectares of the 72-hectare ranch to a private developer for the waterpark project. The ALC did give the nod to a request to exclude land from the Agricultural Land Reserve for a picnic area and walking trail, and for an exhibition site for the Kamloops Exhibition Association (KXA). McCorkell said in order to move forward, the ALC wants the city to rezone all of the ranch lands for agricultural use instead of public space, start farming on 28 hectares of the land already earmarked for food pro-

duction and complete a plan with the KXA for its portion of the site. The KXA plans to construct several buildings on the site to host trade, agricultural and rodeo events and already has ALC permission to host some rodeo events, including the recent B.C. High School Rodeo Finals, in advance of construction. McCorkell said the city will put out a request for proposals for the food production portion of the ranch and has invited community gardening groups and its own farm incubator program to submit ideas. Staff will have a revised plan to re-submit to the ALC in the fall.

Growers are coming back CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops region is experiencing renewed interest in the field crops and orchards that helped build the city, as well as vineyards that were until recently the preserve of the Okanagan. Planners and prospective farmers met yesterday at a workshop intended to guide interest in a possible farm incubator in Kamloops that would provide land and mentorship to aspiring agrarians. Jim Forbes, a regional agrologist with the Ministry of Agriculture, said two trends are making it more viable for new entrants: climate change and a market for locally produced food. “There’s a bigger trend back toward field crops — vegetables and fruits,” he said. The region once boasted a major tomato industry and was

home to a number of orchards. The City of Kamloops wants a return to more agricultural production within its borders and has created an agricultural plan to foster growth. The city and Community Futures of Thompson Country sponsored yesterday’s event in a bid to kickstart a farm incubator that would see the city provide land to aspiring farmers to learn the industry. The plot would be operated by a non-profit agency. The other major trend in Kamloops is the emergence of vineyards and wineries, driven by favourable economics and a trend toward milder winters. Forbes told 40 people gathered at the Parkside Lounge workshop that productivity in the valley is increasing along with temperatures. The highest soil rating currently seen here is 1B (1 is the highest on a scale of 1-7) with the possibility of moving toward

the ultimate 1D category seen in B.C.. “This area is . . . expected to have some of those capabilities go up,” Forbes said. One key aspect is access to water as farms must complete with developers for the prime valley land. Forbes told those gathered at the workshop that while only about 20 per cent of new businesses last a decade, the number of successful agricultural businesses is higher based on personal commitment. But, he warned careful research and business planning is necessary. “The hands-on dirty stuff is the most fun and why people get into it, but the money is made on the management side,” he said. City planner Maren Luciani said the city’s agricultural plan is intended to promote and develop farming into the next two or three decades.

Bilking senior for new boobs nets woman nine-month sentence CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A convicted fraud artist who bilked a senior to obtain bigger breasts and a tummy tuck has been sentenced to five more months in jail by a provincial court judge. Brandie Bloor, 39, pleaded guilty to fraud over $5,000 and identity theft after falsifying documents and using false information to obtain more than $17,000 worth of cosmetic surgery at Kamloops Surgical Centre. She received breast implants, liposuction and a tummy tuck. On Tuesday, Judge Len Marchand sentenced Bloor to nine months in jail, along with two years probation. She has already served the equivalent

of about four months in jail awaiting sentencing. Bloor has also been ordered to pay back the company from which she obtained a loan. Bloor’s arrest resulted in her 13-year-old son being taken from her custody by the Ministry of Children and Family Development. “I hope the time away from your son is the wake-up call you need,” Marchand told her during sentencing. Bloor is a serial offender whose record include three convictions for fraud, 13 convictions for forgery, two convictions for impersonation and seven convictions for theft of identity. Marchand noted Bloor was abused as a child, saying “no one should have to experience the things Ms. Bloor experienced

when she grew up.” The Crown had asked for a six- to ninemonth jail sentence, while the defence had argued for four to six months in prison. Police launched an investigation in February 2014 after an 83-year-old Kamloops man received a letter from a loan company claiming he was behind on payments after borrowing money for cosmetic surgeries — a loan on which he was listed as a co-signor with Bloor. She made only one payment on the loan. The victim did not know Bloor, but the loan agreement included the senior as a cosignor and listed him as Bloor’s grandfather. Police questioned Bloor about the loan and were convinced by her story. They questioned her

again, however, after obtaining before and after photos from the surgical centre. Those included a rose tattoo on her stomach. Bloor then claimed she had been working as an escort and the 83-year-old man was one of her clients who agreed to co-sign the loan. Investigators disproved that claim by matching the elderly man’s driver’s licence on the loan application to one that had been reported stolen in 2010. The man denied ever having met Bloor or any escort. Marchand also noted the nature of the offence means Bloor cannot give back the fruits of her crime. But, she will be bound by a restitution order to the loan company for the approximately $17,000 it lost in her fraud.

RCMP and correctional officials are investigating what a union official said was an assault on a guard at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC). Dean Purdy, with B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, said the assault occurred on Monday when an inmate “sucker punched” a correctional officer in a regular living unit. Purdy said the guard received a series of punches to the head and body. When the guard fell to the ground, Purdy said, he was set upon by the inmate and bitten. The guard was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment of injuries, including a concussion. Purdy said RCMP were called and charges are expected to result. The assault will also be dealt with under internal jail procedure.

Purdy said another guard was nearby, heard the commotion and hit a pager, which brought immediate help. The guard under attack was unable to hit that button, he said. “At that point, the damage was done,” Purdy said. “It happened so quickly.” An investigation by WorkSafeBC officials is also expected. In addition, Purdy told KTW that a 42-year-old inmate was taken to hospital on Wednesday morning after what is believed to have been an inmateon-inmate assault at KRCC. There have been seven assaults of guards at KRCC this year, according to the union. Purdy said overcrowding at provincial remand facilities, including KRCC, continues to be a problem and a danger to guards. Violent inmates, those with gang affiliations and those with mental-health issues should not be in the regular prison population, he said.

of the strike, directing residents to three depots that contract with Multi Material BC (MMBC). However, Richard Robertson, chief operating officer at General Grants, said his two depots won’t be taking the bulk of the city’s recycling. Both the North Shore and Sahali locations were planning to post signs turning away large volumes of recycling. Robertson said General Grants will take recyclables from “the little old lady with the little bag,” but will be turning away large loads, which he said he doesn’t have the manpower to deal with or the space to store. “It is beyond the capability of a small business like us to be able to take that on,” he said. “It is really a bad call by the City of Kamloops.” While MMBC

managing director Allen Langdon told KTW the strike won’t affect operations at the depots, Robertson said he doesn’t want to cross the picket line. City of Kamloops environmental services manager Glen Farrow said it’s up to MMBC to work with General Grants to keep recycling service open. “He’s under contract with MMBC, I assume, and being paid accordingly, so those [depots] are legitimate options within our community,” Farrow said. That argument doesn’t seem to sway Richardson. “I’m willing to walk away from that contract if I have to,” he said. With General Grants out of the picture, there’s only the Lorne Street bottle depot on Halston Avenue, where owner

Steve Ahn said he will take whatever recycling comes in. “As a service provider, we cannot refuse the customers coming in,” he said. However, Ahn added, if the strike continues, he may also face a space crunch, since it appears liquor bottles and cans — which are also processed at Emterra — won’t be hauled away from the depots during the strike. In addition to suspending collection from homes, the city has stopped picking up cardboard from some local businesses and has ceased removing recyclables from its depots at McGill Road and Ord Road and the Mission Flats and Barnhartvale dumps, which are now blocked off. Farrow estimates the city picks up 500 metric tonnes of recycling each month.

Mayor: City looked at all options as strike loomed Mayor Peter Milobar said he understands the recycling issue is an inconvenience for the public, but noted the city looked at all options that would have allowed it to continue offering curbside pickup during the strike. While the city’s contract with Emterra Environmental requires the company to find an alternative location for the city to take its recycling in the event of an interruption, Milobar said it’s likely picket lines would have gone up at those locations as well. Sorting recycling would also have been problematic. “You’d have newspapers and plastic bags getting into the river system particularly,” Milobar said. Milobar said the city will collect additional recycling once the strike is over. Meanwhile, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District doesn’t foresee any disruption in services at its waste-management facilities. The TNRD will continue accepting recyclables at all sites. In addition, recycling pickup in Electoral Area B (Blue River and Avola) and Electoral Area J (Savona, Cherry Creek and Tobiano) will continue uninterrupted. While the TNRD also uses Emterra Environmental as its recycling processor, the district is believed to have sufficient storage and transportation capabilities to continue taking in recyclables until the dispute is settled.

A RATIONAL STEP BY VANCOUVER

egardless of where one stands on the marijuana-legalization debate, it is simply irrefutable that the City of Vancouver’s decision to regulate its burgeoning medicalmarijuana dispensary business is positive. There are about 100 storefront marijuana dispensaries operating in Vancouver and they exist because the police in that city have taken a stance to concentrate on real crime, rather than spend precious time seeking to shut down the stores. By seeking to regulate the stores — not the product sold — the City of Vancouver wants to ensure regulation is strict and that locations are away from schools, community centres and other marijuana dispensaries. With a permit fee of $30,000, Vancouver is ensuring it is more difficult, not easier, for such businesses to operate in the city. Compare the city’s rational response to the fact marijuana is on its way to being decriminalized or legalized to the sad histrionic viewpoint of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, whose ridiculous warnings would be more at home in a Reefer Madness script. Like her Conservative peers. Ambrose sticks to the failed war-onpot stance that has done nothing but make gangsters rich and give regular people criminal records. Ambrose opposed Vancouver’s plan to regulate its medical-marijuana dispensary business, noting marijuana is illegal and claiming such regulation will increase pot use and addiction. Of course, Ambrose is wrong. Regulation and the stiff permit fee that will accompany it will likely result in fewer medical marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, so Ambrose’s fear of skyrocketing addiction rates will probably not come to fruition. Speaking of addiction, has Ambrose perused the latest statistics on death and damage that results from legal alcohol?

A gesture truly needed

hen the provincial government announced its $1-million contribution to help those with brain injuries — and the organizations that work with them — it’s likely a lot of people simply thought it was a nice way to remember Dr. Gur Singh. It’s so much more than that. It’s a way to ensure the work the Kamloops neurosurgeon dedicated his life to continues — and it’s vital work. For those who have never had a brain injury, count yourselves lucky. One of my dearest friends has had many concussions and her life has never been the same. Granted, it’s not the same as some of the debilitating traumas that afflict some brains, but her story can provide a window into why the work Singh did — work that is continuing in his memory — is so essential. My friend’s first concussion occurred when she was a child, playing with her brothers. The next came almost two decades later but, being an active athlete, more followed. She continues the story: “Soccer, softball, walking the dog. Yep, walking the dog. “My 110-pound pup hauled me down when he darted after another dog. My head cracked off the sidewalk. I recall the postal guy stopping to check on me.

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL “I was less than a block away from my house and managed to get myself home and into darkness. “My worst one came playing slo-pitch. As I described it to a doctor some years later, he said I’m lucky I’m not in a wheelchair. “I was running to first base and the throw was offline. The first baseman crossed my path to make the catch and we collided. I spun off her and landed on my butt, then cracked my head off the rock-hard ground at McArthur Island Park. “Since that day in 2000, any little bump to the head gives me a headache. You’d even think it would smarten me up. No. More concussions came from hockey. My last one occurred during a game in January 2009. “After a CT scan showed no lesions on my brain, my doctor told me I was lucky and I could play again — but only when the headaches subsided and only if I wanted to take the risk. “The only sports in which

I participate now are non-contact.” Depression started in 2003. My friend’s doctor said it was related to the concussions. She says it haunts her every day, calling it “a dark cloak that someone throws over my head.” “I have memory loss. Not long-term, mind you, and that annoys the hell out of my husband. I remember what I was wearing the day I met him. I remember what we ate on our first date. I don’t remember if I fed the dog this morning. I don’t remember where I put my keys. I don’t remember why I opened that tab on my Google browser. “The worst is the fear. The fear that my brain will stop working. The fear that I’ll drop dead in my 50s like so many football players already have. The fear that the lingering effect of these concussions will prevent me from living my life to its fullest extent. “For now, I live by the credo, ‘See. Do. Breathe. Live.’” My friend’s injuries were not completely debilitating. There are so many people with much worse brain injuries whose struggles are even more difficult. They are our friends, our neighbours, our co-workers and our family members. Their lives have been changed forever — and that is the reason to celebrate the government’s contribution to help them. It was more than just honouring the man. It was honouring what Singh cared about so deeply. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CHAMBER SUPPORT OF AJAX TIED TO REVIEW Editor: Re: Kamloops Coun. Denis Walsh’s column of June 9 (‘Ajax and dust for dollars’): In Walsh’s column, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce was quoted as stating that “the City of Kamloops’ economy is strong and diverse, with a growing population.” The chamber stands by this statement; however, it should be noted the strength and diversity of our economy relies greatly on heavy industry, including mining. Many businesses in Kamloops and the surrounding region and, by extension, the people who live here, benefit every day from heavy industry. Walsh further noted that “. . . the 42 business leaders who recently signed a letter of support were painting a negative view of our economy with large employers laying off or closing.” These leaders were correct in stating Kamloops has lost such employers in recent years. We believe they were trying to make a point, one which the Kamloops chamber holds as well — that to ensure we continue to have a thriving

SPEED KILLS, AS THIS FAMILY’S CAT FOUND OUT Editor: As a neighbourhood grows, traffic flow increases. When we moved here 14 years ago, Dufferin was a quiet neighbourhood. We recently received a phone call from a thoughtful neighbour who lives near the intersection of Hillside Place and Hillside Drive. He found our missing cat underneath his car, where she managed to crawl and die after being hit by a vehicle. Fortunately, we had a name tag and phone number on her collar. Like other residential areas in Kamloops that have a main street connecting subdivi-

sions, Hillside Drive has now turned into a raceway, with perhaps one out of every 10 drivers travelling within the 50 km/h speed limit. Sure, one can say it was only a cat, but she was our cat, was part of our family and we treated her accordingly. We are devastated and left to surmise that she was likely struck down by one of those drivers who travel between 70 km/h and 80 km/h on Hillside Drive. We did not do our homework and put her on a leash while outdoors. However, we live in a family neighbourhood with lots of children who travel daily on

foot along Hillside Drive to Dufferin elementary. Do we have to put a leash on our children as well? People need to adjust their clocks so they can reach their destination while obeying the speed limit. Or, those who live west of Scott Place can use Highway 1 and get home faster if those extra few minutes are so important. Sadly, my point can relate to hundreds of streets in Kamloops. G.

dial-a-dope operation is too obvious. He added Duhamel needed a plan to go immediately into drug treatment in order to be let out of jail. Meiklem ordered a six-month jail sentence, minus the 75 days at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre Duhamel has spent waiting for sentencing. He will also serve nine months probation. The arrest was part of an RCMP crackdown in 2013 on drug sales.

The Crown did not tender phone records showing other transactions, he noted. Instead, he said, Duhamel was a “people pleaser” who was helping the buyer and friends he knew who sold drugs. The defence argued for the 75 days Duhamel has served in jail since being arrested for failure to attend an earlier court date, along with a suspended sentence and probation.

Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi argued for nine months jail, noting Duhamel was on probation from an unrelated crime at the time he sold $170 worth of methamphetamine to undercover operators in October 2013. “Clearly, it was an ongoing dial-a-dope operation,” Varesi said. But, Knight said, there is no proof Duhamel was an employee in a dial-adope operation.

A semi-truck is hauled away from the Lafarge Bridge exit on Highway 1 yesterday after it rolled over, trapping its driver. The morning accident closed the eastbound off-ramp and sent the driver to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Truck driver ticketed following rollover The driver of a semitruck that rolled over on Highway 1 at the Lafarge Bridge exit yesterday was ticketed by police after Mounties determined speed contributed to the mishap. He was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The morning rollover closed the Lafarge eastbound off-ramp for a few hours. There were no other vehicles involved. The driver was trapped inside his cab before being rescued by emergency personnel. The investigation into the crash continues.

Stop pet theft seminar Those interested in stopping dog theft are invited to a presenation on Monday, at Petland, 905 Notre Dame Dr., from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The focus will be on the Sea of Green community action plan to protect against pet theft.

The wildfires aren’t the only reason Kamloops Fire Rescue members take up many of the positions on the list (121 of its 144 employees make at least $75,000). Firefighters also have one of the strongest bargaining arms in the city. For the past three years, firefighter wage increases were calculated based on the average of the percentage increase agreed to by the majority of 15 Lower Mainland municipalities. Similar approaches are taken by the firefighters’ union, the International Association of Fire Fighters, across the province, so wages tend to rise at a similar rate across the board, meaning more expenses for cities. “I’m not disparaging firefighters. They do have a tough job. But, it is at the point where firefighting is costing municipalities more and more.” Trawin said.

Kamloops RCMP are investigating a report of two Skeetchestn Indian Band signs that were cut down overnight Saturday, on the eve of National Aboriginal Day. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said one sign has been found and police were investigating on Monday the report of another sign being cut down. The sign was removed from the Sabiston Creek Road area of the TransCanada Highway west of Kamloops.

hen the wildfires of 2003 destroyed Okanagan Mountain Park, his family’s favourite hiking area, developer Mark Consiglio, along with his wife and business partner Nicola, purchased the property with a vision to breathe life back into the charcoaled remains and transform it into an amenity-based park for youth, residents and tourists alike. As the endeavour began to take on a life of its own, Mark’s vision evolved into something much more than what he had first imagined. Visitors to the mountain start their adventure at the Tuscan welcome centre that opens out into a 1,000-seat outdoor amphitheatre with a stunning view of Kelowna — the perfect venue for music events, such as concerts by the 100-piece Canadian Youth Orchestra. From there, guests cross over the 400-foot Earth Bridge that spans across two cliffs and ends at the entrance to a solid rock wine cave with a small waterfall flowing through an opening in the ceiling — a popular place for weddings. In front of the cave a small test vineyard is being culti-

Just below the sign is an Olympic half-pipe that will no doubt be full of snowboarders in the winter. The second span on your journey is the 100-foot Sun Bridge, which crosses over the larger ice wine vineyard and brings you to the largest sundial in Canada. The majestic white columns provide another amazing backdrop for photographers. This location is quickly becoming a favourite for wedding shoots. Sundials work by casting a shadow in front of columns numbered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., like the hand on a clock. While this one is fairly accurate, I would not set my watch by it unless, of course, it is summer or winter sol-

even Sideroff’s picture featured promi-

nently in The Province’s sports section on Monday, above an article that suggested the Vancouver Canucks might consider nabbing him at the NHL Draft this weekend in Florida. The 18-year-old Kamloops Blazers forward from Summerland is doing his best to keep focused on training at Crash Conditioning in Kelowna, but admits the attention is hard to ignore. “I’m getting more and more excited as the week goes on,” said Sideroff, the rightwinger who found a place on Kamloops’ first line in 2014-2015, playing alongside centre Matt Needham and left-winger Cole Ully. “The next few days are going to be a little nerve-racking,” he said. “Getting attention from teams like the Canucks and other teams that are looking at me closely gives me confidence in my game and helps me push myself more and more in the gym to be a better player.” Round 1 of the draft will be held tomorrow at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla., with rounds 2 through 7 to be held on Saturday. Sideroff finished last season with 17 goals and 42 points in 64 games and was 134th among North American

Deven Sideroff of the Kamloops Blazers will likely be picked this weekend at the NHL Draft, while teammate Connor Ingram is not counting on being selected. The draft runs tomorrow and Saturday in Florida.

skaters in NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings for the 2015 draft. Many are pegging the lightning-quick forward to be a late-third to fifth-round pick this weekend. Blazers’ goaltender Connor Ingram, 18, landed 19th among North American netminders in the yearend draft rankings and is not expecting to hear his name called this weekend. “I haven’t been in serious contact with anyone, so nothing too exciting going on around here,” said Ingram, the backstop from Imperial, Sask., who finished last season with a 2.96 goalsagainst average and a

.904 save percentage. “You try your best not to get your hopes up. You don’t want to be disappointed, so you try and get away from it as much as possible.” That Sideroff and Ingram are in the NHL Draft conversation is an accomplishment in itself, given both were passed on at the WHL Bantam Draft and forced to crack the Blazers’ roster as list players. Sideroff, who made a name for himself in the midget ranks with Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton, was listed by the Blazers at the conclusion of training camp in 2012 and signed in January of 2013.

The Weekly Soccer Roundup is Brought To You By:

He played most of 2013-2014 at OHA before bursting onto the WHL scene last season, racing to the top of the rookie scoring race with 17 points after 16 games. “I felt comfortable coming into the WHL as a 17-year-old rookie,” Sideroff said. “I felt that I had a good year and I accomplished a lot.” The five-foot-11, 180-pound right-hand shot was 110th in the January mid-term rankings, with decreased production in the second half seeing him slide to 134th by season’s end. KTW caught up with Canucks’ general manager Jim Benning

on March 11, when he was in the Tournament Capital to watch the Blazers play the Prince George Cougars. “I don’t mind that Sideroff,” said Benning, who was in town to watch Cougars’ topprospect forward Jansen Harkins. “He’s a hard-working kid and it seems like he’s having a pretty good year. I’ve got my eye on him.” Vancouver will draft 23rd overall tomorrow, but is without a pick in the second and third rounds, so Benning will need to be smart with his selections the rest of the way — 114th (Round 4), 144th and 149th (Round 5) and 174th (Round 6).

Thompson Rivers University will start the 20152016 volleyball season against the conference’s best. The Canada West released its volleyball schedules for the upcoming season on Monday. The WolfPack men’s and women’s teams will start the regular season against the University of Alberta, last year’s regular-season champions in both men’s and women’s volleyball. The Golden Bears went on to capture the Canada West and CIS men’s national titles, while the Pandas fell to the Trinity Western Spartans in both women’s championship matches. On the men’s side, TRU will be looking to rebound after a slow start to 2014 derailed a promising campaign. The WolfPack won their last eight games to sneak into the post-season with a 13-11 record last season, but were eliminated from contention by the Spartans in back-to-back matches in a Canada West quarter-final. The WolfPack women, on the other hand, will be looking to build on the significant improvement they showed in 2014-2015. TRU assembled a 10-14 record in head coach Chad Grimm’s rookie season, after losing 22 straight matches the previous campaign. The club finished two spots back of the playoffs. Both of TRU’s clubs will play identical regularseason slates. They will start the season on the road to face Alberta, before returning to Kamloops for their Oct. 23 home opener against the MacEwan Griffins. The WolfPack’s longest homestand of the season will be four matches — facing the Calgary Dinos at the Tournament Capital Centre the weekend after opening against the Griffins — while they will never play more than two consecutive matches away from the Tournament Capital. Also coming to town will be the Brandon Bobcats, the UBC-Okanagan Heat, the Saskatchewan Huskies, the Manitoba Bisons and the Spartans. TRU will be on the road to face Alberta, the Winnipeg Wesmen, the Heat, the Mount Royal Cougars, the Regina Cougars and the UBC Thunderbirds. The regular season will wrap up for both clubs at home against the Spartans on Feb. 13. The first round of the Canada West playoffs will begin on Feb. 26, with the conference’s top seven teams qualifying for the post-season. This year’s CIS men’s national championship will be played in Hamilton, Ont., at McMaster University, while the women will travel to Brandon for nationals, hosted by the Bobcats. Both tournaments begin on March 11.

Sideroff interviewed by host of NHL teams From page A17

The Canucks are not the only team with an eye on Sideroff, who earlier this month attended the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo, where teams he spoke with included Chicago, New Jersey, San Jose, Tampa Bay, Anaheim and Vancouver. “The first interview was nerve-racking, but then it was kind of the same questions after that, so you know what to expect,” said Sideroff, noting practices at the combine were strenuous. “I never got any weird questions, but some teams were trying to throw guys off with weird things and seeing how they would react. “One of my friends got asked, ‘What kind of beer do you prefer?’ It was kind of a hard question to answer.” Ingram was listed by the Blazers in September of 2013 and

Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender Connor Ingram’s brother, Mark, was passed over at the CFL Draft.

went on to lead the Prince Albert Mintos to victory at the 2014 Telus Cup, the national midget championship. He signed with the Blazers at training camp last summer. “I went from not being able to make a midget AAA team to, a year-and-a-half later, being talked about for the [NHL] draft,” Ingram said. “It’s definitely been exciting. It’s been a long journey, but it’s been a fun one.” If the Blazers’ goaltender is passed over this weekend, he will not be the first Ingram to be snubbed this year.

Breaking down Blazers’ schedule The Kamloops Blazers will open the 2015-2016 WHL regular season with a home-and-home against the Kelowna Rockets, with the first game slated for Sept. 25 in the Little Apple and the rematch on Sept. 26 in the Tournament Capital. Kamloops will play 23 of its 36 home games on Friday, Saturday or Sunday this season, along with nine home games on Wednesday nights, three on Tuesday nights and one Monday game, scheduled for Feb. 8, which is Family Day in B.C. The schedule is heavier in the second half of the season, with the Blazers playing 32 games prior to the Christmas break and 40 after Santa delivers. There are two September games, 11 in October, 10 in November, 12 in December, 14 each in January and February and nine in March. Kamloops will play three games in three nights three times this season and, in all three cases, the Blazers will finish against opponents also playing their third game in three nights. The Blazers will travel to play the East Division teams this season and will make the six-game trip prior to the Christmas break, from Dec. 11 to Dec. 16. Kamloops will travel to Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Edmonton, but will not play in Kootenay, Calgary or Red Deer this season. There will be 34 games against B.C. Division opponents, including 10 versus Kelowna and eight each versus Vancouver, Prince George and Victoria. As part of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada on Feb. 6, Kamloops will host the Edmonton Oil Kings, with puck-drop slated for 5 p.m. This season will be the 35th season in the WHL for the Blazers franchise. The WHL is celebrating its 50th season. To purchase tickets, call ticketing and promotions co-ordinator Missy Cederholm at 778-4718068 or email mcederholm@blazerhockey.com.

Mark Ingram, Connor’s brother, was a standout safety with the

Saskatchewan Huskies in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranks, but was spurned at the CFL Draft in May. “He had a lot better chance than I did and he didn’t get drafted,” said Ingram, who works part-time on a farm in the off-season. Kamloops’ No. 1 goaltender might not have the depth of resume to attract an NHL team this weekend, but if he can

return to the form he showed in the second half of the 2014-2015 WHL campaign, his professional-hockey dream will be alive and well. Ingram was the WHL’s goaltender of the month in January after posting a record of 4-00-1, with a .955 save percentage and a 1.48 goals-against average. Sideroff, who works in the summer at a paddleboard-surfing

business on a beach in Penticton, will be following along closely to the draft, refreshing his browser and hoping to see his name pop up. Ingram won’t be doing anything of the sort. “I think that’s kind of a hex,” he said. “I won’t be following along but, hopefully, I get a phone call.”

Draft notes

Blazers’ defence-

man Michael Fora, 19, was listed 205th among North American skaters in NHL Central Scoutings final rankings for the 2015 draft. Marc McNulty, also a blue-liner with the Blazers, will re-enter the draft this year. The 20-year-old rearguard was picked in the sixth round, 169th overall, in 2013 by the Detroit Red Wings, but was not signed by the June 1, 2015, deadline.

Christy Logue, 32, Tulsa, OK < For fifteen years I tried all the OTCs as well as prescription drugs that were a lot more expensive than MIGRAID.

CFL expected to get ESTRADA CLOSE TO PERFECT tougher on drugs MARK DIDTLER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The CFL and CFL Players’ Association will meet to strengthen the league’s drug policy after it came under heavy criticism from the World Anti-Doping Agency. The league and union made the joint announcement yesterday, with neither saying when the meetings would begin. “As I have said since the day I was appointed commissioner, we have an unwavering commitment to the health and safety of our players, and the integrity of our game,’’ CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge said in a statement. The WADA has been critical of the CFL for having an “irresponsible’’ drug policy and, on Monday, WADA director general David Howman said the league needed to overhaul a system that undermines drug education of ama-

teur athletes by failing to suspend players who test positive while competing in other leagues. The CFL and its players will focus on three areas, including what penalties Canadian university and NCAA players should face as they attempt to enter the CFL after testing positive at school or the league combine; what should happen when a CFL player tests positive, and the frequency of random testing in the CFL. “When this policy was introduced, it represented the best efforts of the CFL and CFLPA,’’ said union president Scott Flory said. “We were one of the first

professional sport policies to allow blood sample collection to test for HGH. “That being said, we are actively looking at updating the policy in a way that works for us, a policy that has been respected by the players and worked very effectively since it was introduced.’’ The CFL recently severed its partnership with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, which had administered the policy for four years. That decision was reached after Dr. Christiane Ayotte, the head of the only WADA-accredited drugtesting lab in Canada, said her Montreal facility would no longer test CFL samples because the league didn’t suspend first-time offenders. “I often say our best can be better and that is true of a policy that was heavily praised when it was introduced but now needs improvement,’’ said Orridge.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Marco Estrada lost his bid for a perfect game yesterday on Logan Forsythe’s infield single with one out in the eighth inning, but Chris Colabello homered in the 12th to lift the Toronto Blue Jays over the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0. Forsythe barely beat out a slow chopper to third that Josh Donaldson fielded barehanded. Donaldson’s throw to first was just a hair too late. Toronto challenged the safe call by umpire Joe West, which was confirmed after a 40-second replay review. Tampa Bay’s only other hit off Estrada was Kevin Kiermaier’s two-out double in the ninth that chased the right-hander. Estrada also carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning of his previous start Friday against Baltimore. This time, he struck out 10 and threw a career-high 129 pitches. Colabello connected for a one-out shot to centre off Brandon Gomes (1-3). Brett Cecil (2-4) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the 11th, and Steve Delabar got three outs for his first save of the season. Donaldson dove a couple of rows into the stands to catch David DeJesus’ foul pop leading off the eighth. Nathan Karns took a no-hit bid into the sixth for the Rays, but exited one inning later after giving up consecutive singles to Edwin Encarnacion and Dioner Navarro.

Kevin Jepsen pitched out of the jam by getting three straight outs. Karns gave up three hits, three walks and struck out five over six-plus innings. Kevin Pillar got the game’s first hit, a one-out single to left in the sixth. Karns later got an inning-ending pop fly from Jose Bautista with the bases loaded. Encarnacion was the lone baserunner through five innings, drawing a leadoff walk in the second. He appeared to lose track of the outs and was easily doubled off second base after taking off for third on Russell Martin’s one-out fly to centre.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  ROBERT WILLIAM BLACK December 17, 1925 ~ June 23, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert William Black of Oxbow, Saskatchewan. Robert is survived by sisters Jean Smith and Margaret Sanders, his two daughters Donna (Gerry) and Cathy (Carl), four grandchildren Leslie, Nicole, Shaylyn and Corey, as well as niece and nephews Marg, Chris and Bob Smith. Robert was predeceased by his loving wife Aileen, sister Barbara, brothers Frank, Norman and Nathan as well as nephew Dave Smith. Born into a family of seven, he will also be remembered by many more cousins and family members. Dad farmed the prairies in Gilbert Plains and Grandview, Manitoba for years before enlisting in the army in October of 1943. He served his country in Belgium and Holland during WWII and was later a proud member of the Gilbert Plains Legion and Elks Canada. In 1966, Robert and Aileen moved to Kamloops, BC with their children and then built their family home in Westsyde in 1969. Dad worked in construction and a saw mill in Monty Lake called the RW Black Ranch (which always gave him a chuckle). Dad later worked for the school board until he and Mom chose to retire happily together. You could often find Dad perched at the Westsyder for a coffee and game of Keno. Dad also lived for his annual summer trips to Manitoba. Looking forward to summers back on the prairies always lifted his spirit. Dad loved animals and he found great joy after adopting a cat, Noël, that wouldn’t leave his side from the SPCA in December. Many thanks to the great staff at Royal Inland Hospital as well as Barb and Bob for helping make his Manitoba dream come true each summer. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the SPCA or Heart and Stroke Foundation. We love you Dad, say hi to Mom from all of us. A wonderful Dad laid to rest For each of us he did his best His place on earth no one can fill We miss you Dad and always will Although we smile and make no fuss No one misses you more than us.

A Celebration of Roberts Life will be held on Friday, July 3, 2015 at 1:00 pm in the Chapel of Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive.

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight. I am the star-shine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there – I did not die.

She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

JOHN “RED” WILLIAMS John “Red” Williams of Heffley Creek passed away on June 21, 2015 at 86 years of age. He is survived by his loving wife Sara, son Jay (Annelise) Williams of Ottawa, grandchild Bronwyn Williams, cousins Katie Michell, daughter Susan (Jason) McGillivray and her son Ralph Michell; niece Brenda (John) Myers; nephews Geoff, Jim, and Norm Petersen. Predeceased by sister Dorothy Petersen and her spouse Ken. Red was born and raised in Kamloops, originally living at 711 Pine St. He left home in his teens, living in many places in Kamloops, before finally settling on a beautiful piece of property just north of Heffley Creek. From here, Red would create strong ties within the Heffley Creek community, which included helping to build the Heffley Creek Hall. He was a strong community member, as he served on the KXA Board and was a leader for many 4H clubs in the Kamloops region. Even well into retirement, Red could always be found at the Barriere Fall Fair and the Provincial Winter Fair. He enjoyed competing alongside his son Jay or in the stands with his cousin Noel, grading the quality of stock at that year’s event. He had a strong tie with the Chinese community, as his mother spoke both Chinese and English. Being an avid marksman all of his life would lead to his greatest hobby in retirement, Black Powder shooting. His involvement with the Heffley Creek Gun Club and the local Black Powder community would utilize many of his talents and skills such as shooting, archery, knife making, leather crafts, welding and most importantly, storytelling. A jack of all trades, Red was also a talented musician. An established equestrian, Red had broke more than his fair share of horses in his life. He prided himself on his flock of sheep. His sheep breeding program produced multiple champions at various fairs he competed at. He could also fix almost anything, priding himself on his welding skills and his ability to design his own devices. He had a memory like a museum and it was razorsharp. Red was a good friend and neighbor who would help anyone at the drop of a hat and was loyal to all he considered his friends. Above all, Red was a loving husband, father and grandfather. The Celebration of Red’s life will take place at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, June 30, 2015 in the Calvary Temple. The family would like to offer a special thanks to the nurses on 4 North.

Vancouver council votes to regulate pot sales located 300 metres from schools, community centres and each other and some shops will be banned from certain areas. But, in an unexpected move, the city voted to create a two-tiered licensing system, allowing non-profit compassion clubs to pay a fee of just $1,000. Coun. Kerry Jang said the clubs provide other services, such as nutritional and psychological counselling, and help people transition from marijuana to other medicine if possible. He suggested the clubs could funnel the money saved from paying a lower fee toward the creation of addiction programs. Jang said he was disappointed some councillors

LAURA KANE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The City of Vancouver has become the first in Canada to regulate illegal marijuana dispensaries, with the mayor saying it’s a common-sense approach after the federal government’s failure to provide proper policies. “We’re faced with a tough situation, a complicated situation,’’ Gregor Robertson said yesterday after councillors voted 8-3 to impose new regulations. “We have this proliferation of dispensaries that must be dealt with,’’ Robertson said. The new rules mean dispensaries must now pay a $30,000 licensing fee, be

opposed the regulations without putting forward amendments, saying they had “stuck their heads in the sand.’’ Coun. Geoff Meggs had strong words in council for federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, who has urged the city to uphold Canada’s laws that make retail marijuana sales illegal. “Wake up,” he said. “You are completely out of touch with the realities on the ground.” The city has blamed Ottawa’s restrictive medicalmarijuana laws for the rise of pot dispensaries in Vancouver — to 94 from fewer than 20 just three years ago. Ambrose said in an emailed statement she was

“deeply disappointed’’ with the decision. “Marijuana is neither an approved drug nor medicine in Canada and Health Canada does not endorse its use,’’ she said. “Storefronts selling marijuana are illegal and, under this Conservative government, will remain illegal. “We expect the police to enforce the law.’’ Jamie Shaw of B.C. Compassion Club Society, Vancouver’s oldest dispensary, which would now be forced to move, called the new regulations a “historic move.’’ “It’s actually great that they’re encouraging some dispensaries to be a little bit more patient-focused and patient-centred while still

not actually outlawing more recreational-minded ones,’’ she said. Shaw is hopeful that the chief licensing inspector will refer her dispensary to council so she can make a case to keep it in the same location, near an elementary school. Council’s decision comes after four days of public hearings that drew more than 180 registered speakers, many of whom complained about a proposed ban on edible products, such as brownies and cookies. But, the city held firm on this part of the plan, arguing that the treats appeal to children, it is difficult to control their contents and patients can buy mari-

juana oil to make their own edibles. Dispensaries now have 60 days to apply for a licence. If several stores are located in a cluster, they must face a review that would give them demerit points based on factors including the number of complaints and police incidents. Stores that are not compassion clubs will receive 10 points. Where two nearby shops have the same points ranking, a lottery would decide which one gets to stay. Many dispensaries will be forced to move, including those located in the Downtown Eastside, Granville Street entertainment district and on Pender Street.

TORONTO — It might be called “send regret,’’ that panic that sets in after firing off an email or text that you suddenly realize was inappropriate, addressed

to the wrong person or just plain wrong. Google is trying to save Gmail users from their own misguided missives by granting them a window of

sober second thought. Gmail users can now add the “undo send’’ feature to their accounts and give themselves up to 30 seconds to recall an illconceived email. “‘Undo’ has saved my bacon professionally and personally more than once,’’ Google Canada spokesman Aaron Brindle said yesterday. “I’ve been known to press send a little too quickly. Sometimes, it’s as simple as fixing a typo or making sure you’re not replying-all, which can be awkward.’’ The feature has been available to beta-testers of Gmail since 2009 and proved so popular that Google decided to roll it out this week for all 900 million-plus users. — The Canadian Press

SASKATOON — The Saskatchewan government is following a decision by Ottawa and ending its tax on feminine hygiene products. Saskatchewan Finance Minister Kevin Doherty said the provincial sales tax will be removed from products starting July 1. It’s the same day the exemption begins for the federal government’s goods and services tax. The House of Commons unanimously adopted a motion sponsored by the New Democrats in May calling for the change. Opponents have criticized the so-called tampon tax as being discriminatory against women. Quebec announced last week that it would also follow suit with its provincial tax on the products. Doherty said the Saskatchewan government believes removing the tampon tax “is the right thing to do.’’ “Our government has a record of keeping taxes low and being tax competitive with other jurisdictions,’’ he said in a release. Doherty added that a retroactive legislative amendment to the Provincial Sales Tax Act will be introduced in the fall to finalize the change.

No pain, no grain B.C. brothers taking passion for grains around the world ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

hris Hergesheimer had a passion for grains — the kind that leads a man to drive across B.C., searching out hard red spring wheat and kamut from farmers in the Fraser Valley and North Okanagan, or produce a master’s thesis on the lives of those still producing crops in the province’s southwest. Or, finally, to strap a grain mill to an old exercise bike and spend five years selling fresh-ground flour at farmers’ markets big and small. “I didn’t have anywhere to grow and I wasn’t a very good baker,” Chris explains. Milling, on the other hand, allowed him to connect with both the province’s remaining grain farmers and the average consumer, who might not think much about where their baked goods begin. “It was kind of a matchmaking service.” That passion for grains would eventually take him even farther afield, to African and South Sudan, a country then about to plunge into civil war. Both journeys are the

subject of Chris’s new book The Flour Peddler, written with his brother Josh, who was also conscripted into the family milling business. The brothers will be in Kamloops on Saturday, July 27, when they’ll visit the Kamloops Farmers Market in the morning before signing books at Chapters from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Flour was once a local concern in B.C., with major yields posted at the turn of the 20th century. But, today, most modern, industrial flour uses wheat from the prairies milled in Ontario and Quebec. While industrial flour is lighter and airier (not to mention cheaper) it doesn’t always offer the same nutritional qualities of the

were taking off in B.C. Before long, he was visiting multiple farmers’ markets and enlisting family and friends in the business. Unfortunately, while the concept behind the Flour Peddler was popular, it wasn’t profitable. “I never got into it to make money and it never made money, so it worked out well in that regard,” Chris quips. Five years after he started, it was time to wrap up the business — but he

and Josh decided they’d go out with a bang, delivering a bicycle mill similar to Chris’ demonstration model to a village in South Sudan which was the home of a family friend, William Kolong. Kolong had moved back to the country when it gained independence in 2011, and was already running a community development agency in the country.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

erner Braun was a lover of history. After retiring to Kamloops, the German-born painter set out to paint more than 100 of Kamloops’ heritage buildings in watercolour or acrylic, rendering the city’s past in bold colours and with trademark detail. So, at the first anniversary of his death it was only fitting for his family to pay tribute by delving into his own history, heading back to Neustadt, Werner’s south German birthplace. “I was very proud that my daughter would want to go there and walk where her dad grew up,” said Christa, Werner’s wife, who made the trip with daughter Karen Boyer and granddaughter Sarah. Werner will get another local commemoration this weekend, when Christa hosts a tea and sale of his work at the Riverbend Seniors Community on Saturday. Werner’s interest in painting began in Germany, Christa said, and the family was able to visit the site of one of his works, the Stiftskirche. “He started painting for his mother on Mother’s Day when he was just a little boy, because this was just after the war time and he didn’t have any money,” she said. “So, every year on Mother’s Day, he’d have a new painting for her.” The Brauns moved to Canada in 1958 and retired to Kamloops in 1992. It was at that time Werner was able to finally dive fully into art, becoming a member of the Thompson Nicola Shuswap chapter of the Canadian Federation of Artists. Over the years his shows spanned continents, from traditional

European architecture to scenes from Sun Peaks. Many of his works featuring Kamloops’ historic homes and landmarks were compiled into a book, The Heritage Kamloops Collection, published jointly by the city and the Kamloops Art Gallery. For his efforts, he also earned an exceptional heritage achievement award from the city’s heritage commission. “He liked history and beautiful things and the magic that surrounds them,” Christa said. “He wanted to show that we are to be proud of our heritage, whether it’s 2,000 years or 200. Kamloops used to say, ‘Oh well it’s an old building let’s tear it down.’ “And he said, ‘No, no, this is history. This is important for us.’” Many of Werner’s paintings have been on display in the dining and grand rooms at Riverbend, where the Brauns moved several years after Werner was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Christa said she wants to invite the public to take another look at the works and remember Werner’s legacy. The tea runs from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Riverbend dining room, 760 Mayfair Street.

While local milling wasn’t a money-maker in Canada, Kolong believed it could allow women in his home village to make some additional household income selling their milled flour at markets. Armed with a mill and money from a successful crowd-funding campaign, the brothers set out for the country in December of 2013. Even before political tensions boiled over in Sudan, there were questions about whether the plan would come together. Bringing an exercise bike to Africa, for one, was a no-go, so the brothers had to partner with a technical school in South Sudan’s capital, Juba, to build an entirely new rig for their mill in only a few days. Then there were transportation dramas, from counterfeit bus tickets to a Russian-era helicopter journey. “There’s a lot of points where we’re kind of on edge, truthfully, as to whether this is going to work,” says Josh. Besides the difficulties, the brothers were also able to capture a slice of life rarely seen in western media. “I think a lot of what’s in the news now focuses on violence and famine and hunger, these

sort of traumatic cliches about Africa,” Josh says. “But, what we were able to do in the first half of the book is put what life was like before conflict erupted. “Before in Juba you could just walk around and the biggest issue was finding some petrol or whatever.” The two are hoping their book will encourage others to support similar milling endeavours in South Sudan. The original bike mill is still in use, and popular, Josh says, and there’s

demand for more. “It wasn’t cannibalized for spare parts and they’re still using it and they’re protective of it and they know how to clean it — it validates to us that we did the best we could,” he says. “We’d love to see our book be an invitation for people to get involved and look at the impact of the time savings and the ability of these woman to make a few dollars at the market.” For more information on The Flour Peddler, go online to continuouscylce.ca.

Kamloops author’s bitersweet memory fuels historical fiction Kamloops author Elma Schemenauer tells how a long-ago relationship crept into a historical novel she was writing. Consider the Sunflowers is available in Kamloops in Chapters, Coles, the Thompson Rivers University Bookstore and public libraries. It can also be ordered online from Chapters Indigo or from the publisher, Borealis Press. I met X during my university days and decided he was the man for me. I loved his athletic build, wit, leadership ability, and ambition. A month later, X asked me out on a date. I was so thrilled I hardly “knew where to leave myself.” (This was an expression common among my Dutch-German Mennonite relatives and friends at the time.) From then on, semi-regular dates with X became the light of my life. He was always entertaining and exciting. However, I realized that under his dashing exterior lurked painful memories and unresolved conflicts. I couldn’t figure out how to meet X’s deep emotional needs. Maybe I wasn’t the right person for the job. Since the real X seemed beyond my reach, I developed a fantasy image of him. In my dreams he was more accessible and responsive. Meanwhile, I did what I could to mesh my life with X’s. Some of his relatives were friends of mine so I invited them over for lunch, hoping to get closer to him through them. I watched TV programs

on topics that interested X. For his sake, I snubbed another young man who might have been better for me. I left the church I had been attending and switched to the one where X went. After several months, my relationship with X broke down, probably because it wasn’t rooted in honest communication. Also I tried too hard, crowding X and attempting to change myself into someone else for his sake. My bittersweet experience

U.S. officials release self-driving car crash stats The California Department of Motor Vehicles has released crash information for the 82 self-driven cars undergoing testing on its private roads.

JUSTIN PRITCHARD

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — California state officials have released reports detailing six accidents that involved selfdriving car prototypes, reversing a policy that shielded details of how the next-generation technology is performing during testing on public roads. The disclosure came after The Associated Press argued to the Department of Motor Vehicles that the agency was improperly withholding the information. According to the reports, most of the cars were in selfdriving mode when the accidents happened, and the other driver caused the accident. None of the crashes was serious enough to cause injuries, either to the person the state requires to sit behind the wheel or people in the other cars. The DMV’s refusal to release the reports bothered critics, who said the public should know how the cars of the future were faring today. “The more transparent the government is about self-driving vehicle accidents, the more credibility the government will have when it comes time to decide — yes or no — on whether to OK the sale and licensing of self-driving cars,’’ said Peter Scheer, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition. Until now, the agency said it could not reveal details about self-driving car accidents, citing state law making collision reports confidential. After the DMV denied a public records request, AP argued that the agency was incorrectly interpreting the confidentiality requirement. The news organization also said the public has an interest in understanding how these experimental vehicles are performing. “Unlocking these records and sharing them with the public are in keeping with AP’s

longstanding efforts nationwide to bring about greater transparency in government agencies,’’ AP spokesman Paul Colford said. Led by Google, selfdriving cars have been running on public roads since 2009. It was only in September, however, that the DMV officially began permitting the testing — and requiring companies to file accident reports. Until now, the agency wouldn’t release those reports. Last week, the DMV said it had reviewed the request and determined they could release the reports as long as personal information such as the drivers’ names is blacked out. The companies that operated the cars — tech-titan Google and parts-supplier Delphi Automotive — submitted their own accounts of the accidents. Police have confirmed investigating only the Delphi crash. While eight companies have permission to test 82 self-driving cars in California, Google has driven the most miles (about 1.8 million) and licensed

the most prototypes (53). After several years of revealing little about crashes, Google has in recent weeks become more open about their number and nature. After AP reported last month that there had been three Google accidents and one Delphi accident, Google self-driving car project leader Chris Urmson revealed in a blog post that its cars had been involved in eight other accidents between 2010 and July 2014. DMV officials had not been aware of those eight until an April conference call with Google, agency spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez said. In California, a driver is required to report to the DMV any accident involving more than $750 of damage. A Google spokeswoman could not say whether the company had filed DMV reports on any of the initial eight accidents and said she could not provide damage estimates because repairs were done in-house, without a bill. The DMV said it

could not search its records for earlier reports without date and location information that Google has provided to neither AP nor the agency. At Google’s annual shareholders meeting earlier this month, cofounder Sergey Brin told a longtime critic with the non-profit Consumer Watchdog that releasing accident reports would serve no purpose because Urmson’s blog post detailed the accidents. Two days later, Google launched a website which offered short narratives describing each collision. The documents that the DMV released offered few new details, other than the date and time of the accidents and the make and model of the other cars. According to the reports, five accidents involved Lexus SUVs that Google outfitted with sensors and cameras. The sixth involved an Audi retrofitted by Delphi. All were in the Silicon Valley cities of Mountain View or Palo Alto. In four Google acci-

Survey: Automotive quality up, but Japan losing serious ground TOM KRISHER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — The quality of cars and trucks made by European, Korean and U.S. companies has improved so much in recent years that Japanese automakers, long the industry standard, are having trouble keeping pace. The latest survey on new vehicle quality by the J.D. Power consulting firm also found that despite continued problems with entertainment and connectivity systems, quality is starting to improve for the auto industry as a whole. For the first time since 2012, buyers reported fewer problems in new cars and trucks than the previous year. “The cars being built, for the most part, are very good quality coming out of the box,’’ said John Humphreys, senior vice-president of J.D. Power. The industry score went up because many companies improved existing models and the top companies did better with the mechanical and infotainment quality of new models, J.D. Power said. The 2015 survey of more than 84,000 car buyers in February and March found that Porsche was once again the top brand for quality. Kia vaulted five spots to take second place and its sister brand Hyundai finished fourth. Jaguar, in third, and Infiniti rounded out the top five finishers in the survey, which asked about problems in the first 90 days of ownership. The worst-performing brands were Fiat, Smart, Chrysler, Subaru and Jeep. The car owners all had 2015 models. The Korean brands have been improving quality for years by bringing consumers into the process as they design cars, especially with electronics, Humphreys said.

SURVEY SAYS Here are the year’s big winners, according to J.D. Power WINNER AND LOSER: Porsche, which won for the third year in a row, had 80 problems per 100 vehicles. Fiat was last of 33 brands with 161. MOST IMPROVED: Infiniti climbed 18 spots to fifth in the rankings

U.S. and European brands also improved. The Japanese brands raised their overall score, but the rest of the industry improved at a faster rate, he said. Korean brands led the industry with only 90 problems per 100 vehicles, 11 fewer problems than last year. European brands followed at 113 problems, passing Japanese brands for the first time. Japanese brands combined had 114 problems per 100 vehicles, two better than last year. That tied with U.S. brands, according to the survey. The industry average was 112 problems per vehicle, four better than last year. For the first time in the 29-year history of the survey, Japanese brands fell below the industry average. Only four of 10 Japanese brands showed an improvement. “There’s a shift in terms of who is doing the best in terms of industry leadership,’’ Humphreys said. The shift, he said, is significant, because Japanese brands promote their quality and reliability, but that advantage is eroding and the Japanese will have to find another way to differentiate themselves. The survey is the first major assessment of quality for 2015 vehicles and it’s closely watched by car shoppers. Consumer Reports magazine’s influential quality study comes out in October and includes other years.

with 97 problems. BIGGEST SLIDE: The Chrysler brand fell 19 spots with 43 problems. BEST CORPORATE PERFORMANCE: General Motors, Hyundai, Nissan and Volkswagen had four winners in the segment awards.

Infiniti, makers of the QX80, were acknowledged by J.D. Power as being the most improved automaker, climbing 19 spots over the previous year.

New rule would increase TAKATA AIRBAG PROBE fuel efficiency for trucks U.S. senators frustrated with Takata and safety regulators Move expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions Anthony Foxx said in a statement the new rules would help the environment and the economy, as trucks use less fuel and shipping costs go down. He called the rules “good news all around.’’ Gina McCarthy, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, said the rules would deliver “big time’’ on Obama’s call to cut carbon pollution. “With emission reductions weighing in at 1 billion tons, this proposal will save consumers, businesses and truck owners money,’’ McCarthy said. At the same time, the rules will “spur technology innovation and job-growth, while protecting Americans’ health and our environment over the long haul,’’ she said. Medium and heavy-duty vehicles account for about 20 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions and oil use in the U.S. transportation sector, but comprise only

MATTHEW DALY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has proposed tougher mileage standards for medium and heavy-duty trucks, the latest move by President Barack Obama in his second-term drive to reduce pollution blamed for global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency issued new rules that would lower carbon dioxide emissions from trucks and vans by 24 per cent by 2027. It would cut fuel costs by about $170 billion and reduce oil consumption by up to 1.8 billion barrels over the lifetime of vehicles sold under the rule. The long-expected rules come one day after Pope Francis issued a teaching document calling for the world to take action to slow climate change. Transportation Secretary

five per cent of vehicles on the road. The proposed standards would cover model years 2021 to 2027 and apply to semi-trucks, large pickup trucks and vans, and all types and sizes of buses and work trucks, officials said. Once completed, the rules are expected to lower carbon dioxide emissions by about 1 billion metric tons. The rule builds on fuel efficiency and carbon pollution standards already in place for model years 2014 to 2018. Those rules are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 270 million metric tons and save vehicle owners more than $50 billion in fuel costs, compared to previous standards. The rules will be open to public comment for at least two months and would be completed next year.

WASHINGTON — Senators expressed anger and exasperation this week with both air bag maker Takata Corp. and federal auto safety regulators over a problem with defective air bag inflators that has escalated into the largest auto-safety recall in U.S. history. At least eight people have been killed and 100 injured by Takata air bags, which can explode with too much force and spew shrapnel into the vehicle. The problem has persisted for more than a decade and impacts 11 automakers, including Honda, BMW and Toyota. In May, Takata bowed to U.S. government pressure and agreed to double the number of air bag inflators it’s recalling in the U.S. to 33.8 million. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, opened a Senate hearing on the

Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to investigate early reports of exploding air bags. A critical audit of the agency, released Monday by the Transportation Department’s Inspector General, noted many problems, including lack of training, failure to follow through on consumer complaints and failure to hold automakers accountable. NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said his agency agrees with and will implement all 17 recommendations for improvements made in the audit. But, he noted that NHTSA’s budget, when adjusted for inflation, is 23 per cent lower than it was 10 years ago, causing gaps in personnel that have become known safety risks. Nelson said the agency gets over 80,000 consumer complaints per year, yet has only one person reviewing them.

issue with graphic photos of a constituent, Clarabel Nunez, who was hit in the forehead with shrapnel last July when her air bag exploded in Miami. Nelson also showed a large photo of Nunez’s blood-stained air bags. Nelson held up the piece of shrapnel that hit Nunez and noted it was only inches from her eyes and neck. “The bottom line is we need to get these cars fixed and we’ve been talking about this since last year,’’ Nelson said. The hearing was Takata’s fourth appearance before Congress since last November. Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said the multiple recalls for the problem have perplexed car owners. “Recall fatigue and confusion are growing,’’ he said.
