THE ISSUES

Each week, KTW quizzes the candidates on a topic of the week. Today, we ask: Kamloops has been hit by super storms three of the past four years. What will you do as MP to prepare infrastructure in Kamloops for the next super storm to hit the city?

Consequences of climate change?

While they’ll leave the specifics to the city, federal election candidates say they will do what they can to make sure Kamloops is prepared for the next super storm to rain down on the Interior. As a pair of candidates agree, Kamloops will almost certainly be hit again. “The argument to be used is that the climatechange projection model suggests that the Interior is going to be targeted with these instant storms, with massive amounts of wind and water, far more frequently in coming years,” said Liberal candidate Steve Powrie, referring to data from the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction. Powrie said a key part of the Liberal platform will be to jump-start an economy in recession through infrastructure programs. He would look to make storm preparedness in Kamloops a priority for funding. Powrie said the specifics would be better left to experts, but he cited installing divergent channels in high-risk areas and using vegetation to increase water retention on hills around the city as projects that might help.

$1M pledged to restore grasslands CAM FORTEMS

Kinder Morgan has pledged to spend $1 million restoring a right-ofway through Lac Du Bois Grasslands Provincial Park, as well as areas damaged by off-road vehicles, in its application to permit twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline. The spending pledges are contained in the corporation’s most recent addendum to its proposal to twin the TransMountain line through a number of

creation in the early 1990s. The Telus line through the grasslands was replanted with a European species, crested wheatgrass, commonly used because it is quick and successful. Kinder Morgan stated in the latest version of its application to the province it is working with Thompson Rivers University researchers and a subsidiary of the Tk’emlups Indian Band to harvest native seeds that will be used if it is permitted to develop the route.

Wind blows dust from Arrow Transportation’s topsoil-production facility on a ridge overlooking Dallas during an Aug. 7 windstorm.

Residents to have Dallas dust tested ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Del Corsi doesn’t know what’s in the dust coming off the hill overlooking his home in the Gateway mobile home park in Dallas. But, Corsi and other Gateway residents concerned about a topsoil operation on the Blackwell farm that uses biosolids hope to have some answers soon — once they can figure out how to best collect samples of the fine dirt they say is routinely coating their homes. During a rally Tuesday, residents and members of the anti-biosolids group Friends of the Nicola Valley (FNV) joined forces to collect samples of dust and dirt to be sent to a lab in Burnaby. However, those samples weren’t taken correctly, and the groups are now reassessing how best to collect the dust for analysis. Residents in the area near Kokanee Way and Dallas Drive allege the topsoil-production site, operated by Arrow Trucking, is blowing biosolids onto and into their homes and causing health problems. Corsi said residents are dealing with intense dust storms due to strong winds in the area, leaving behind a constant film of fine dust, which creeps into homes and vehicles. “It burns your eyes,” he said.

“That’s what everyone in the neighbourhood says, when you’re out in it, it burns your eyes.” Earlier this month, City of Kamloops community safety manager Jon Wilson told council he believed the dust issues on the site stemmed from an illegal sawdust pile set near the edge of the cliffs overlooking the mobile homes. The last of the sawdust was cleaned up last week, though piles remain below, snagged in cobwebs, sidewalk cracks and planters. Corsi said he’s grateful that dust source is gone, but said heavy winds late last week brought the same fine dust down onto the neighbourhood, along with a septic smell. He said the main source of the dust appears to be the Arrow site. “You look at the other hillsides and there might be a little bit of dust,” Corsi said. “We have dust storms and they’re just coming from that exact site.” In June, Tim Bell, general manager of Arrow, said the dust blowing in Dallas isn’t coming from either the facility’s biosolids or the topsoil it produces, but other operations in the area, which include a gravel pit, landfill and the pile of sawdust. Merritt resident Georgia Clement, who is helping residents with the testing process,

said once the dust is collected the lab will look for traces of metals, pathogens and prions — a protein-based infectious agent linked to various diseases of the central nervous system. Dallas residents are paying for a portion of the costs and the rest may be funded either by FNV or the Suzuki Foundation, which paid for testing of biosolids spread near Logan Lake at the request of FNV. A Suzuki Foundation scientist told the Merritt Herald analysis found concentrations of heavy metals above the limits set out in the province’s contaminated soils regulations, though within the allowable range for Class B biosolids, as set out by the Ministry of Environment. Environment Minister Mary Polak told the Herald there are two sets of guidelines because there are various levels of contamination. “Even within the contaminated soils, there are different levels at which we require different types of treatment and different types of handling,” Polak said. “An area of soil can be contaminated and yet not to the extent where we would consider it harmful.” The province has pledged to conduct a review of biosolids in the Nicola Valley. Kamloops council is due to revisit the Dallas/Blackwell/Arrow issue when it meets on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Pipeline would follow Telus line

ASHCROFT MURDER TRIAL

From A1

TIM PETRUK

Next month, the corporation pushing to twin its petroleum pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby will appear in front of a National Energy Board panel to make presentations in support of its application. More than 75 intervenors are also lined up to speak to the proposal, including the B.C. Grasslands Conservation Council. The group opposes placement of the pipeline through the park. Executive director Scott Benton said the group continues to push for Kinder Morgan to make public details and costs of other routes. Thus far, the company has said following a route along Westsyde Road would cost $20 million. Restoration of the grasslands route alongside the Telus line with native species is estimated at $900,000. Kinder Morgan also pledged to spend $100,000 fixing off-road vehicle damage and another $200,000 on signage, park patrols to keep out unauthorized vehicles and an invasive weed survey. “They’re offering to spend up to $900,000 [on the Telus right-of-way],” Benton said. “I have no idea if that’s adequate.” Similarly, Benton said the grasslands organization wants to see more detail on the pledge to spend $100,000 restoring areas destroyed by off-road vehicles. Kinder Morgan also said in its revised proposal to the province it will spend $100,000 at Finn Creek Provincial Park and $75,00 at North Thompson River Provincial Park on restoration projects if the project is approved.

Widow said accused is ‘domineering’ interrupted his aunt, saying, “Don’t confuse me and Ed. Don’t confuse myself as your son.” Each time she was interrupted, Barb held her hand up to block her nephew from her view. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley eventually told Shane to “remain quiet,” but the interruptions continued. Barb described Shane as a happy kid who was eager to please. But, she said, as he went through high school, things changed. “He became more dominant in school,” she said. “He was the boss. He had friends — a gang of friends — but he was the boss of the school. One of the teachers let him teach the class. “He was very domineering.” Barb said Shane’s aggressive personality took a toll on her, eventually leading to a nervous breakdown. “It was nerve-wracking because my husband protected me from him,” she said. “Shane decided at some point that I couldn’t be intimidated. He could control my husband, but he couldn’t me.” That conflict led to Barb moving out of the family home and into a nearby townhouse she had been using for a small business. But, she said, Ed remained in the house with Shane. Court heard the pair spent a lot of time in a shop on the property. “They would sit on either side of a wood stove in reclining chairs and Shane would

STAFF REPORTER

The widow of a man allegedly beaten to death with a shovel by his nephew in Ashcroft last summer told a B.C. Supreme Court judge yesterday a tragic story of being run out of her own life. From the prisoner’s box in a Kamloops courtroom, Shane Gyoba repeatedly interrupted his aunt, Barb Gyoba, as she testified at his second-degree murder trial. Shane Gyoba stands accused of beating to death his uncle, Ed Gyoba, on June 2, 2014. On Tuesday, neighbour Gil Anderson testified he saw Shane and Ed Gyoba involved in a fight on their front lawn that morning. After Shane Gyoba knocked his uncle down, Anderson said, he picked up a shovel and delivered three blows. Anderson called police and Shane Gyoba was arrested minutes later. He has been in custody ever since. Barb Gyoba, who married Ed in 1993, said Shane’s father died before he was a teenager. When Shane was 14, he moved from Saskatoon to Ashcroft to live with Barb and Ed, court heard. Barb said Shane had been in trouble with the law in Saskatoon after being caught tagging a fence. He was on probation when he moved to Ashcroft. At that point in her testimony, Shane

talk and Eddy would listen — for hours, days,” she said. Ed eventually moved his business to Lillooet, leaving Shane alone in the house, but would make frequent trips back to Ashcroft for work and to do odd jobs at home. Weeks before he was killed, court heard, Ed had become fed up with Shane and wanted him out of the house. “Eddy came over and he had a hammer out and he said, ‘This is it, he’s got to get out,’” Barb testified. “He was very upset. Very upset. “Shane said, ‘It’s my house. Why would I move out?’ But, Ed owned the house.” The day her husband died, Barb said, he had gone to the house to work on the underground sprinkler system. Barb said Ed left her townhouse at about 8 a.m., when she set off for Kamloops to pick up a pair of his glasses. “I said, ‘I’ll be back right away and we can have lunch and then you can go home,’” she said. “When I got back, the crime-scene tape was up. That was around 12:30. “The sergeant came over, he saw me there, and he said, ‘We talked about this, didn’t we?’ “We did talk about it, a year ago, about Shane doing something,” Barb said. Shane Gyoba’s trial is expected to wrap up next week.

Resource Recovery Centre Public Information Meeting

The City of Kamloops is proposing to purchase the Owl Road Landfill and establish a resource recovery centre (RRC) and a Public Works and Utilities satellite yard. The cost to purchase the site, reduce the size of the existing landfill operations, and begin an RRC is estimated at $10 million. Administration proposes that the purchase be funded through debt and the debt be serviced through landfill tipping fees. There would be no impact on taxes, solid waste rates, or landfill tipping fees.

Leong fined for misusing funds TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Kamloops city councillor who admitted to using $200,000 of grant money received by the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society to tend to his own personal finances has been banned for a year from sitting as a director on any boards. Joe Leong has also been fined $2,000 for misusing society funds — money he repaid with interest before it was discovered he had misappropriated the money. Outside court on Tuesday, Leong said he is happy the process has come to a conclusion. “I’m relieved and glad it’s all over,” he said. “My intention has always been good — to help the railway. I still remain committed to the community. I only wish [heritage steam train] 2141 best wishes.” The 65-year-old Leong was originally charged with two counts each of fraud, breach of trust and theft over $5,000. He entered into a plea bargain, however, and admitted to lesser offences under B.C.’s Society Act — one count of failing to exercise care, diligence and skill of a reasonably prudent person as a director and one count of failing to disclose fully and promptly the nature and extent of his interest in transactions.

Court heard Leong, who last served as city councillor in 2008, was a director of the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society between 2009 and 2012. Shortly after he joined, the society decided to cut costs by eliminating its bookkeeper. As treasurer, Leong took on those responsibilities. “In hindsight, this turned out to be a mistake for both the society and Mr. Leong,” Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said. The society was dependent on an annual operating grant of more than $100,000 from the City of Kamloops. Court heard the board did not run a tight ship. “The board was both flexible and informal in its meetings and decision-making,” Balison said. “As often happens with volunteer boards, intentions are well-meant, but governance issues arose which were unintended.” In December 2010, court heard, the society was unable to pay its debts. Leong offered $9,000 of his own money to help cover those debts and was repaid weeks later. The practice of the society had been to invest its city grant in a short-term, low-interest GIC for the first few months of the year. In 2011, Leong offered to invest the money through his personal account for a better return.

The society’s president, Glen Wideman, agreed. “There is a dispute about the kind of investment that was authorized,” Balison said. “However, it is agreed that Mr. Leong was authorized to make an investment, but the board did not intend to authorize Mr. Leong’s personal use of the $100,000.” Because of shoddy recordkeeping, the only reference in society minutes to the transaction was a mention of a “$100,000 restricted net asset” investment. “Mr. Leong used the $100,000 for various personal debts between Feb. 11, 2011, and May 30, 2011, inclusive,” Balison said. Leong had the $100,000 repaid by the end of May 2011 and paid $225 interest the following month. In March 2012, Wideman cut Leong another $100,000 cheque, which was again deposited into a personal account. Leong repaid the amount with a cheque for $100,150 six weeks later. Defence lawyer Ken Walker noted the fact the society actually ended up with more money than it would have if it had deposited the grants in GICs, but admitted his client was in the wrong. “Joe and the board were not putting their minds to the things they should have been putting their minds to,” he said. “It just was a mistake.”

Green candidate Matt Greenwood agrees with Powrie’s view of the future. “I don’t know if anyone else has addressed why we’re having all the storms — that’s literally one of the consequences of climate change,” Greenwood said. “That just makes it all the more laughable that Canada is such a laggard in dealing with carbon emissions, generally. That’s embarrassing.” Greenwood said the Greens agree there is a huge infrastructure deficit across the country. His party would increase money coming back to municipalities via gas tax transfers, as well as change tax policy to create a pool of municipal-infrastructure funding through the use of municipal RRSP bonds. The Greens would also establish a climate change adaptation fund to assist areas hard hit by ‘natural’ disasters linked to cli-

“I’ve always supported, in a pretty significant way, the priorities of the municipalities,” she said, noting the funding Kamloops has obtained for projects like the watertreatment plant. NDP candidate Bill Sundhu said there is a need for infrastructure to handle water drainage with Kamloops’ steep terrain. He is awaiting recommendations on engineering and adjustments being studied by Urban Systems, Thompson Rivers University and the City of Kamloops. “I will work with the city and province to identify specific projects and priorities, including the Sustainable Kamloops Plan as part of the Official Community Plan, to address future climate change impacts and infrastructure projects,” Sundhu said. “We need real action on climate change, instead of muzzling scientists and ignoring international agreements as the Harper Conservatives have done.”

She also noted her track record for securing federal funding for infrastructure projects in and around Kamloops.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

With the curtain now risen on the climactic second act of the Mike Duffy trial, Justin Trudeau promised Tuesday to clean up the scandal-tainted Senate, while Stephen Harper set his sights on neighbourhood drug labs. The Liberal leader vowed to clean up the prime minister’s “mess,” accusing Harper of leading the “most secretive, divisive and hyper-partisan government in Canada’s history.’’ That mess, of course, is the Senate and, in particular, Duffy’s trial, which entered its most explosive phase yesterday with none other than Nigel Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff, as the first witness. Wright is the man who provided Duffy with $90,000 of his own money to repay his disallowed housing and travel expenses. The former Conservative senator has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges including fraud, bribery and breach of trust. Trudeau, determined to keep the Conservative scandal top of mind for Canadians, spoke of transparency, saying it would be a fundamental principle in a Liberal government. He also promised to bring in a merit-based appointment process to the Senate. Harper, meanwhile, tried to avoid being drawn back into the Duffy fray with yet another policy announcement — his fifth with the 11-week campaign still in its infancy — before travelling to B.C. and, later, northern Canada. Harper promised a 20 per cent increase in funding — to almost $27 million a year — to help the RCMP target marijuana grow-ops and meth labs and another $500,000 a year over four years on a national toll-free hotline for parents to get information about drug use among the country’s youth. And he took the opportunity to score some points on Trudeau, who has already pledged his support for legalizing marijuana. In jurisdictions where marijuana is legal, such as parts of the U.S. and Europe, the drug becomes “more readily available to children, more people become addicted,” and there is a decline in health outcomes, Harper said. “We just think that’s the wrong direction for society and I don’t think that’s the way most Canadians want to deal with this particular problem.’’ NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, however, was more interested in Harper’s travel itinerary, in particular the fact he was getting as geographically far away from Ottawa as possible. “I do find it interesting that Mr. Harper has decided to try to hide out in the North Pole during the Mike Duffy trial this week,’’ Mulcair said.

Divergent views on how to handle marijuana CONSERVATIVES PREFER STATUS QUO ILLEGALITY; OTHERS CALL FOR LEGALIZATION, DECRIMINALIZATION CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Voters shopping for a candidate with views on marijuana can pick from the spectrum: today’s treatment under the Criminal Code advocated this week by Conservative Leader Stephen Harper to Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s commitment to legalize it and turn the spoils over to taxpayers. “Colorado, Washington and Europe, they’ve got it government-controlled where they’re protecting kids and protecting people by making sure marijuana is not laced [with other drugs],” said Liberal candidate Steve Powrie. Powrie, whose brother is a police officer, said organized crime’s biggest prof-

its come from pot, something that would change if it were legalized, taxed and controlled by government. “There’s not a growop in this area that hasn’t had a visit from the Hells Angels,” he said. But, incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod echoed Harper, who said pot use will increase with legalization and worsen health of Canadians.

Harper promised to increase funding to about $27 million a year to help RCMP target grow-ops and meth labs, and to pay for a national toll-free hotline for parents to get information about drug use by young people. McLeod called the pledges important measures, including the toll-free hotline. “Too often, I have parents with no idea of where to get advice.

The hotline is an important measure.” McLeod, a nurse by profession, said advocates for legalization ignore what she said is evidence of linkage between marijuana usage and psychiatric illness. Between the two is New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu, who is calling for decriminalization that would take it out of the Criminal Code. “We know the war

on drugs has been a dismal failure,” said Sundhu, a former judge and now criminal lawyer. “Drugs permeate every community and are easy to buy. Our approach hasn’t worked.” Sundhu said he would not favour treating marijuana like alcohol or tobacco by allowing its sale and control by government. “You risk the kind of promotion you

Email your candidate queries to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. have with alcohol and tobacco.” He also said he doesn’t want to see marijuana-infused gummy bears, available in Colorado marijuana retail stores, in the hands of children. Green candidate Matt Greenwood, who works at ASK Wellness, echoed Powrie’s concerns that chemical-laced marijuana is making its way to the streets and, potentially, in the

hands of teenagers. “Currently, marijuana laced with fentanyl (a synthetic opiate) is showing up right here in Kamloops and has caused several overdoses already,” he said in a email message. Greenwood said he supports legalization of marijuana. The Green party is also calling for decriminalization of other drugs, calling it a medical problem rather than a criminal one.

But . . . did they all inhale? On the heels of Prime Minister Stephen Harper announcing his party’s continued tough-on-marijuana stance during the election campaign, KTW asked the four Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo candidates if they have ever used pot: Bill Sundhu (NDP): “When I think about it, I probably did take a toke once or twice while at drinking parties in university. It would be very rare because alcohol was my choice in those days, including among my friends and associates.” Steve Powrie (Liberal): “My personal history with pot was as a teen, but I never enjoyed it. A lot of kids used pot or harder drugs. I probably did more drinking.” Cathy McLeod (Conservative): “Over 35 years ago. I was a student and I tried it.” Matt Greenwood (Green): Did not respond to the question by deadline.

TOO HOT NOT TO HAVE A DEBATE

im Campbell was infamously quoted (or misquoted) as saying a 47-day election was no time to discuss serious issues. Fortunately, we are in the early days of an election campaign that is almost twice that long and will stretch on into the third week of October. It’s also unusual to have an election campaign during the height of summer, when the weather is often top of mind. So, let’s have a debate about global warming — not whether or not it exists, which has been thoroughly established. There is a worldwide scientific consensus and every major political party accepts it is happening, whether grudgingly or not. There is also ample anecdotal evidence in the form of temperature records that have fallen by the score across B.C., raging wildfires, water restrictions and annual super storms in Kamloops to show us what global warming will mean for us on a local level. We need to determine what the best course of action is towards change. There are dozens of options, including changing the way we generate power, increasing energy efficiency, tax incentives, more spending on public transit and changes in urban planning (the latter is part of the question we asked KamloopsThompson-Cariboo candidates in today’s Election Issues feature). Depending on how we choose to proceed, we could find ourselves in a future with electric cars springing up everywhere, as in Norway, and with solar farms popping up across the Prairies. We could pioneer a new generation of safe, efficient nuclear power projects. Or, we could simply hunker down and concentrate on using less energy and using what we do create more efficiently. Any of those options are better than our current course, which is barely better than nothing. Our major opposition parties may be willing to attack the government on the environment, but they are still following, rather than leading, the debates on energy and climate change. As usual, it’s up to Canadians to push for the changes we need.

Interesting intersection

ay 11 of the federal election campaign. Day 37 of the Mike Duffy trial. It’s the kind of intersection reporters dream of experiencing. One side of the story is being tightly controlled by the prime minister and his minions. The other side is completely out of his control as the country’s judicial system — which has shown itself recently at the highest levels to not always be in agreement with the prime minister — proceeds with its examination of Duffy, the journalist-turned-senator, and the 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery he faces. Throw into the mix the man many have been waiting to take his seat and answer questions — Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright. The governing Conservative party is dealing with one big part of the campaign it can’t keep quiet or spin. Sure, it can remove a reporter who starts asking questions that aren’t on the approved agenda — as CKNW journalist Shelby Thom said happened this week when she started asking party members about legalizing marijuana. Let’s ignore the fact Thom was at a public event in B.C. with Harper, an event one might think anyone in the public can attend, and that she wasn’t even talking to the PM, but questioning

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL others at the rally. I would think removing someone from a public event because you don’t like the questions they are asking simply shows you are afraid to give the answers. And it can happen to a reporter who didn’t arrive to a Harper event early enough to be subjected to a sniffer dog, searched, required to sign a gag order (a move the party has since stopped enforcing) and obligated to swear on pinkies they won’t post anything on their Instagram account. OK, that last one isn’t real — but it speaks to the kind of control being applied to the message the Conservatives are bringing to the electorate. (As an aside, I’m eagerly awaiting a report back later this month from another reporter friend who has been told she can’t attend a public event with the Conservative candidate in her hometown because she’s with the media. She is disinclined to accept

that admonishment and is stubborn enough that, well, I’m curious to see how it all plays out). Back to the issue — Wright, his generous cheque book and obviously healthy bank account and the senator who said he lives in Prince Edward Island, but really lives in Ontario, among other issues that have led to the trial. As reporter Kady O’Malley wrote in her live blog of the trial this week, Wright’s decision to write that $90,000 cheque to get Duffy off the hook for expenses he claimed that have led to the charges was a decision Wright “lived to regret.” Wright went on to say it was “a relatively quick decision” and that he was often dipping into his own cash to buy staff lunches and pay for his travel because it had “no noticeable effect” on his bank account. Wright acknowledged he was “beyond furious” to discover what he thought was going to be a $32,000 cheque to help out the beleaguered senator was actually almost three times the amount. The trial continues to Aug. 28, when it takes a break until mid-November. That means another 15 days of revelations Harper and his fellow campaigners can’t control. And more than seven weeks till election day. Interesting times, indeed. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ALCOHOL HAS NO PLACE IN GROCERY STORES Editor: Re: The issue of selling alcohol in grocery stores: There are pros and cons to every situation. Money tends to be a huge motivator in many of these situations. However, when it comes to selling wine and beer in grocery stores, I truly believe people need to try to see past the almighty dollar and look into the eyes of a child whose

parent is already dealing with alcohol addiction. I am sure everyone who supports beer and wine sales in grocery stores will say people with addictions will simply get their alcohol somewhere else. That is true. However, why put a bowl of candy in front of a child and say, “Don’t eat any” before you leave the room? That is exactly what we are going to be

doing if wine and beer are sold in grocery stores. As well, it will be much easier for teens to get their hands on alcohol. As a society, we need to try to help our children make better choices. Please try to think of all of the residents in this community before making a decision based on dollar signs. Phyllis Carrol Kamloops

RIBFEST SHOULD IMPROVE HANDICAPPED PARKING Editor: I would like to bring to the public’s attention the lack of handicapped parking at Ribfest on the weekend. I repeatedly asked about this and was finally directed to a regular space across the street at the west end of Riverside Park. I unloaded my mobility scooter and drove along a route in which I had to be helped over cords and wires to reach the Society for Creative Anachronisms site. I had used up so much battery power that I had to conserve what

little I had for the return trip to the parking lot. I also heard others complaining about the parking situation. I was supposed to return to Ribfest on Sunday, but did not due to parking problems. I suspect other disabled people had similar difficulties. Why is this event, as well as Canada Day celebrations, not more handicapped-friendly? Lyn Auld Kamloops

IMPRESSED WITH WORK ON CASINO, ROADWAYS Editor: I had to make my weekly excursion up to Costco this week. Upon proceeding up the hill, I wondered if I should take the Copperhead Road exit above Costco or navigate the normal way and put up with the potential delay around the new casino. I wanted to see what was happening, so I took the construction route along Hugh Allan Drive. The new road configuration is coming along really well. I must have counted four excavators and other machinery amongst the many workers attending to the road and the casino itself. This is a great addition to Kamloops, particu-

KTW reader Dave Brummund is not a gambling man, but he is betting the new casino and improved roadworks will be a winner.

larly considering I read recently that another 200 employees will be added as compared to the downtown location’s employee numbers. Although I did not originally support the move up the hill when considering the loss to the Kamloops core, I do think the new casino location is ideal, especially with the new road improvements and the utilization of the former Rona store that may have sat vacant for a long time had it not been for the casino plan. Notwithstanding I am not a gambling man, it is, in my view, always huge when a plan comes together for our city. Dave Brummund Kamloops

BRIEFS Fraud artists are targeting Kamloops homes by phone this month with two schemes. Kamloops RCMP has issued a public warning about what it said are a series of suspicious calls, one purporting to be from Revenue Canada and the other from relatives seeking money. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said grandparents are being targeted by callers claiming to be a grandchild needing money, a result of a car accident or other troubles. Bush said the callers are often aggressive and convincing. Some CPL. CHERYL of the resulting BUSH transfers have been interrupted by diligent staff at banks, she added. RCMP recommend use of a code word for use in family emergencies or that seniors verify with family members. The other scam involves callers purporting to be with Revenue Canada, claiming the target owes money for unpaid taxes. They are sometimes threatened with arrest if money is not transferred, Bush said.

Shift work’s damaging toll DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Theresa Draper is looking forward to reading a UBC study that should soon be published — but she doesn’t anticipate being surprised at the findings. As a registered massage therapist, Draper regularly sees the toll shift work has on people whose day jobs happen at night. Statistics Canada data shows about 30 per cent of employed Canadians work when the rest of us are relaxing or sleeping. For many, not having a normal sleep and wake cycle can lead to bad eating habits, stressedout cardio-vascular and autonomic nervous systems, cancer, diabetes and cardiac disease. The study by researchers at UBC’s School of Population and Public Health is being supported by the Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of B.C., of which Draper is a member. She works at the Welcome Back Pain

Management and Upright MRI Centre on Columbia Street and sees many shift workers at the clinic. One of the key areas she addresses is the lack of serotonin in people who work night shifts. A type of chemical manufactured in the brain, it spends much of its time in the digestive track and in blood platelets. As a neurotransmitter, it influences mood, appetite, sleep, memory and some social behaviours. Night shifts disrupt the circadian cycle — the body’s clock that tells you when to sleep, wake and eat. When that natural rhythm is disturbed, Draper said, the person isn’t working efficiently. “When you’re working when you should be sleeping, you’re not as cognitive,” Draper said. “Work production can decrease, your mood can be affected and there’s greater risk for injury. “Your liver goes through a repair state every night and, if you’re working at that time, it

can’t repair itself. “Research has show if you’re working nights, it shortens your life span. Shift workers sleep one to four hours less every day and wake up fatigued.” Earlier studies have shown a direct link between massage, improved sleep and serotonin production. A 2004 American study, for example, showed massage therapy could increase production of serotonin by an average 28 per cent. Massage increased production of the neurotransmitter dopamine — as essential to the body as serotonin — by an average 31 per cent. “So, it’s not all fluff and stuff,” Draper said of massage therapy, noting she took three years of training, learning about anatomy, neurology, physiology, orthopedics, and many other aspects one might consider unique to medical training. Draper said many illnesses can be treated with massage that puts the body back into balance.

OVERLANDERS DAY

Who were the Overlanders we are celebrating?

old was discovered in the late 1850s in the Cariboo region of B.C., stretching from Cache Creek in the south to Quesnel in the north. When the first discovery was announced, people flocked to the area to stake their claims. While the average daily wage for most North Americans was just $2, a miner could make several hundred dollars a day in these gold-rich fields. Searching for a better life, a large group of Canadians left their Ontario homes to strike it rich in British Columbia’s gold fields. This group of 115 men and one woman travelled for months across Canada until they reached Fort Edmonton in 1862. There, they restocked their supplies and prepared for the arduous journey across the Rocky Mountains. They decided to travel through Yellowhead Pass based on the feedback of a party of miners returning from the gold fields they met while restocking. The Overlanders travelled as far as they could with carts, oxen and horses carrying their supplies. But, by Lac St. Anne, they had to abandon the last of their carts and continue onward carrying their supplies in heavy packs. The large group was soon spread thinly across 300 kilometres of the western Prairies. From Tête Jaune Cache, the group divided, choosing to take different routes to the lucrative Cariboo gold fields. The larger group decided to take the Fraser River to Fort George and head south to Quesnel. They made canoes for their trip from hollowed-out cot-

tonwood logs and ox hides and travelled down the first stretch of the Fraser quite easily. When they reached the Grand Canyon of the Fraser, a short gorge about 30 kilometres upstream from the confluence of the Bowron River, disaster struck. Caught in the tumultuous Scow Rapids, canoes were overturned and torn apart. Four men died from drowning or hypothermia and many supplies were lost. Worn down and badly beaten by the day’s events, the group pressed on, reaching Fort George on Oct. 8. A smaller group of Overlanders left Tête Jaune Cache and travelled overland up the McLennan River, which flows north into the Fraser River. Thinking they could make the trek to the gold fields by land, they purchased over 100 head of cattle and horses. Soon, the travellers discovered they would be forced to take the Thompson downriver to reach their destination. In preparation, they slaughtered their cattle and turned their horses loose. They constructed rafts and began their journey down the Thompson River to Fort Kamloops. This second group ran into trouble in the Murchison rapids and Hell’s Gate, where two men died. The rest of the group arrived in Fort Kamloops in October of 1862. Arriving with the second group of Overlanders in Fort Kamloops, Catherine Schubert, the only woman amongst the travellers, gave birth to a baby girl on Oct. 13, 1862, the day after their arrival. Schubert Drive is named after this Overlanders family. — from Jeff Waugh’s The Overlanders, via The Overlanders of 1862 sculpture at city hall was created in 2003 by Government of Canada website Kamloops artists Garry Davies and Terry Norlander.

Closing in on World Cup podium MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

atharine Pendrel had just arrived in the Italian Alps town of Livigno when she responded to an email from KTW. Training at 1,800 metres above sea level should have her in optimal condition to take a run at the podium at the final UCI Mountain Bike World Cup cross-country event of the season on Aug. 23 in Val di Sole, Italy. “I haven’t looked at the points, as I always just give my best and hope that takes care of the rest,” said Pendrel, the 34-year-old Kamloops resident who is ranked third in the world among female cross-country mountain bikers. “As an athlete, you can only control your performance, so you have to stay focused on what you can do to be your best, rather than worrying about what the other women may be doing.” For those who do concern themselves with the World Cup points standings, after five of six events, Pendrel is third with 726 points, behind Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa (910) of Norway and Jolanda Neff (1,100) of Switzerland. The first-place finisher in Val di Sole will be awarded 250 points and the silver medallist will earn 200 points, so Pendrel cannot catch Neff in the overall standings and will be hardpressed to track down Dahle Flesjaa. What might be the most intriguing skirmish that day will take place between Pendrel and American cyclist Lea Davidson, who is only 26 points behind the Kamloopsian in the overall World Cup standings.

Catharine Pendrel of Kamloops is looking to finish the cross-country mountain biking season in style.

Pendrel has enjoyed a commendable 2015 campaign. On the World Cup circuit, she finished fourth in Nové Mesto na Morave, Czech Republic, on May 24; third in Albstadt, Germany, on May 31; third in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, on July 5; second in Mont Sainte Anne, Que., on Aug. 2; and 25th in Windham, N.Y., on Aug. 8. “My season has been very consistent, aside from Windham, where I was just a little fatigued going in,” Pendrel said. “So, I am happy for the most part, but still looking for that really amazing ride.”

She won silver at the Pan Am Games in Toronto on July 12 and claimed her sixth national title in Saint Felicien, Que., on July 18. After the Val di Sole World Cup finale, Pendrel will join Team Canada in Alpe d’Huez, France, to prepare for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Vallnord, Andorra. If Pendrel is the highestplacing Canadian and finishes in the top five at worlds, she will automatically qualify to compete for Team Canada at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. The reigning world champion would love nothing

more than to get another shot at the Olympics, where she has twice fallen short of the podium — in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London. “London was tough because I felt like it was my race to lose and things didn’t go as I had planned,” Pendrel said. “It was a really powerful learning experience. “I feel very fortunate that I have been able to move on and become world champion again and become a Commonwealth Games gold medallist. “It gives me goosebumps to think about medalling at Olympics.”

Tom McManus travelled across Western Canada recruiting for the 2015 WolfPack women’s soccer season at Thompson Rivers University. But, perhaps ironically, the head coach’s three biggest recruits may have come from the Tournament Capital. Goalkeeper Taylor Shantz and midfielders Brianna Powrie and Danielle Fauteux, all seniors and Kamloops natives, were snapped up by McManus in the

off-season and will debut for the WolfPack later this month. “I was looking for a lot of recruits this year because I obviously wasn’t the happiest man in the world last year, by the end of the season,” McManus said Tuesday following his team’s second day of training camp at Hillside Stadium. “I think I’ve got a few good ones.” Shantz fills the void left by departed keeper Emily Edmundson, who played out her final year of university eligibility in 2014.

TRU WolfPack women’s soccer head coach Tom McManus is looking forward to a new season.

TRU EMBARKING ON SECOND CIS CAMPAIGN From A20

A regular for the Quest University Kermodes of the collegiate Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST), as well as the longtime starting keeper of the Kamloops Heat of the summer Pacific Coast Soccer League, the 5-foot-10 Shantz will provide a veteran presence between the pipes for the WolfPack. Powrie, a player McManus said he has loved since she played her youth soccer in the Tournament Capital, also played for Quest University last season. She, along with Fauteux, is expected to help fill the void left in the centre of the pitch by departed midfielders Bronwyn Crawford and Kelsey Martin, along with Marlie Rittinger, who may miss the season due to injury. “I’d like to hope so, I’d like that to be my role,” Powrie said of leading the midfield. “I’m ready for it.” McManus expects Powrie to “just do the business” for him at centre-midfield. He described her as a controlling player, who isn’t afraid to get rough with the competition. “I’ve been told that I’m aggressive at times. I like to think that I work hard,” Powrie said. “Hopefully, as the season goes on, I can become more of a leader on the field.” Fauteux, meanwhile, is coming out of retirement for her swan song — she last played soccer at TRU in 2008. The 31-year-old midfielder also has experience with the

Canadian junior national team, the Vancouver Whitecap development program and in the NCAA. She has one season of eligibility remaining and, according to McManus, was one of the standouts during the team’s testing this week. “She did great with her fitness level,” he said. “Her soccer — she hasn’t played in four or five years, so that’s going to take a little bit — but, by the start of the season, she’ll be ready to go.” TRU is looking to rebound after a disastrous 2014 season. Entering the CIS, Canada’s top university sport league, the WolfPack went from winning three consecutive PACWEST titles to posting a 1-10-1 record and falling short of the playoffs. McManus admitted members of his team threw in the towel early when things started to go south in 2014. He hopes a new season, along with a few new faces, can right the ship in the club’s sophomore campaign. Coupled with the league’s new divisional arrangement — which will see TRU in a fourteam grouping with the Alberta Pandas, UBCOkanagan Heat and UNBC Timberwolves, the top three of whom will make the playoffs — the expectation is to make a return to the post-season. “I’m counting on getting in the playoffs,” McManus said. “Having said that, I think we’re stronger than we were last year.”

Spence cracks national team Speed Skating Canada has introduced the athletes named to the long track national teams for the 2015-2016 season and the list includes Josie Spence of Kamloops. Skaters were grouped in three new categories — the elite, senior and development/nextgen pools. Spence of the Kamloops River City Racers was named to the elite pool. The elite and senior pools were formed based on the athletes’ performances at the 2015 World Single Distance Championships, or through Speed Skating Canada selection.

MORTGAGE MATTERS PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you:

TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply.

RRSP, RRIF, GIC & TFSA 1 YR.

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block.

TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with.

300-350 Lansdowne Street Kamloops, BC www.fultonco.com

TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable! TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fall If the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster. TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefits of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

guys heard some things,’’ said Lulay. “To their credit they just kept playing, slugging hard. If we were to ask them what they did differently between the first half and the second half, it wasn’t magic, it wasn’t a bunch of different calls, it was just purely focus and execution.” There was also plenty of talk about the

Eskimos’ No. 1-ranked defence, which came into Vancouver having surrendered just one touchdown over its last three games. The Lions said they used it as motivation. “They’re doing something that basically I’m used to doing,’’ B.C. defensive back Ryan Phillips said. “That’s the style of football and the style of defence I’m used to playing here. B.C. travels to Hamilton on Saturday to take on the TigerCats (4-2), a club that has scored 31, 34 and 38 points during its current three-game winning streak and is undefeated at Tim Hortons Field since it opened last season. The Lions know two quarters won’t necessarily change the course of a season, but the steps taken in the comeback victory over Edmonton that stopped a two-game slide were encouraging.

CHIEFS: Three scuffles highlighted Sunday’s practice, the most noteworthy being high-priced free agent acquisition WR Jeremy Maclin getting into it with CB Marcus Cooper. Cooper grabbed Maclin during his route and Maclin took exception. Words were exchanged, then a couple of punches. Results — no injuries reported. TITANS: Night practice with three scuffles, although the best was a nonfight. As a couple teammates were brawling, DL Karl Klug and LT Taylor Lewan circled each other a bit with Lewan holding onto Klug’s face mask. They stared each other down, then walked away. Results — Lewan said they made an agreement not to fight each other. No punches were thrown.

Day hoping to be in mix at PGA Championship EDDIE PELLS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — It was five years ago at this golf course that Jason Day realized he could be a contender in the majors. He’s been in the mix several times since and, with another major on tap at Whistling Straits, nobody would be surprised to see the Aussie go from king of the close call to someone who finally broke through. “Sometimes, people make it look easier than others,’’ said Day, who recorded the first of nine top-10 major finishes at the 2010 PGA Championship. “Some people get there quicker than others.’’ Jordan Spieth got there twice before turning 22. Rory McIlroy has been there four times, and he’s only 26. Day is 27 and has been part of the conversation in most of those tournaments, along with a couple more. He’s a three-time runnerup, has finished third once

and fourth twice. But, he has not won. This year, the close calls have been especially painful. Most recently, he was a birdie away from joining the playoff at the British Open, but instead tied with Spieth for fourth. A month before that, Day finished ninth at the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay — an amazing finish for a man who collapsed in the second round, struck by a bout of vertigo that he’d been diagnosed with a month earlier. Nobody would have blamed him for bowing out of a tournament after taking a tumble like that. Even Day conceded he might have quit had it not been a major where he had a good chance. Instead, he gathered himself and played on. “I learned a lot about how far I could really push myself mentally and physically, even though I felt like I was going to pull out three times in the third round,” said Day, who has figured out the problem and hasn’t

NHL 16 cover changed amid investigation

experienced a relapse. “I didn’t end up winning, but I learned a lot.’’ Day followed his showing at the British Open by travelling across the Atlantic and winning the Canadian Open — his second Tour victory this season and fourth overall. He is currently fifth in the World Golf Rankings, two spots ahead of Rickie Fowler. That would make Day the best player to never win a major, though that title doesn’t seem to carry the same heaviness as it did 10, or even five years ago. At least not according to Day’s version of things. He looks back 10 years and remembers when it was Tiger Woods, then everyone else. Now, it’s McIlroy, Spieth and Bubba Watson, then Fowler, Dustin Johnson and a load of others bunched in spots four through 10. “That just shows how tough the competition has gotten over the years,’’ Day said.

Jason Day is looking to shake the title of best player to never win a major at the PGA Championship this week.

EA Sports has dropped Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane from promoting and appearing on its NHL 16 video game because he is under police investigation. The popular video game company announced its decision on its Twitter account yesterday. “In light of the ongoing investigation involving Patrick Kane, he will no longer be a spokesperson for the launch of EA Sports NHL 16,” the company said. “He will not appear on the EA Sports NHL 16 cover nor participate in other EA Sports NHL 16 promotional activities.’’ Kane was to appear alongside Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, in what was supposed to be the first time two NHL players have been featured on the cover. – The Associated Press

His family moved to BC. just before the Second War and Dad joined the Canadian Air Force. He spent his war service as an airplane mechanic in Dauphin, Manitoba. Years later he would be recognized as the kid who played the piano in the officers’ mess. After the war Dad moved to Kamloops.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  KALA MACKINLAY (born Kathleen Drew Clark) September 11, 1922 to July 31, 2015 Following a rapid decline in her health due to congestive heart failure, Mom died quietly last Friday after a night which featured a beautiful full moon shining through her window. Her final two months of ill health brought her daily attention and care from all available members of the family, which attention she thrived on even as her health failed. Born in the 20’s and raised in the 30’s in a large New Westminster home where her maternal grandparents and an elderly aunt also lived, Kala was an adored only child of her gruff doctor father and lively mother. She read everything from A.A. Milne to Shakespeare. After UBC and Teacher’s Training, she went to Enderby, BC in 1944 where she taught high school and met her husband Jock, a returned war veteran. Jock got a government job in Kamloops in 1946 and they bought a wartime house on Pine Street where they had their three boys from 1947 to 1951. She provided Dave, Ken and Don with an unfailing example of decency, honesty and intelligence, traits that she exhibited in abundance throughout her long life. The family led an active Interior lifestyle with Jock hunting and fishing, the boys skiing at Mt. Tod, and Kala acting as the glue that held everything together. Kala worked as a substitute teacher in the early 50’s to supplement the family’s very modest income. However, Jock quit his secure government job in the mid 50’s, and the couple launched into the uncertain world of running their own Land Title agency and engineering supplies business. Kala gamely worked along side Jock taking on such tasks as operating the enormous blue printing machine, and keeping the books. The family frequently visited Jock’s parents at their rustic log house on Mara Lake, and occasionally made the big trip all the way to sophisticated Victoria, where Kala’s parents had retired to a lovely house in an idyllic setting on Burnside Road. Part of every summer was spent at Shuswap Lake where the family eventually got their own cabin near Blind Bay. The 60’s saw her boys go to the coast to attend UBC. In the early 70’s she and Jock divorced, so Kala moved back to Vancouver and started a new life as an independent single woman. She taught ESL at King Edward and developed a circle of friends with whom she carried on an active social life. She skied, played bridge, went to plays, the ballet, the opera and the symphony. Throughout it all she remained the pillar at the centre of the family. The boys got married and eventually gave her nine grandchildren, who loved and admired her without reservation. Ken returned to Kamloops where he expanded his parent’s business and raised his family with Mo, while Dave and Don stayed in Vancouver and raised their families with Tracey and Cammi. The second MacKinlay summer cabin near Magna Bay on Shuswap Lake acquired in the early 80’s gave Mom a home for two months each summer, and a place to be close to her sons, daughters-in-law, and all the grandchildren, who made sure there was never a dull moment. Mom’s first priority was always family, and she was always happiest in the presence of family. She retired in the late 80’s and embraced life as an active and independent senior for the next 20 years. She traveled extensively, and while at home hosted numerous family dinners, birthday parties, and other gatherings at her long time condo home in Kits. The seven years she spent at the O’Keefe after she turned 86 were another happy period. Apart from her short term memory loss, she was generally healthy as a horse until just before her death, and she remained active and up for anything. Any enquiry about how she was doing was answered by her signature phrase: “Hangin’ in!” To the end she remained engaged and curious about the lives of her beloved grandchildren, all of whom made her very proud with their many accomplishments including, notably, an expanding crop of great grandchildren. Kala was the centre of our lives for so long that it will take years for us to understand what we have lost with her passing. We will hold a celebration of her life on September 13, 2015 at Jericho Tennis Club, 3837 Point Grey Road, Vancouver, at 3:00 pm. Contact with the family about the celebration can be made at camackinlay@telus.net.

April 1, 1956 - August 5, 2015 Anna Relkov (née Di Leta) passed away peacefully on August 5, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband of thirty-six years, Walter, and her two daughters, Cristina and Tonia. Anna is lovingly remembered by her family – her mother, Giulia, siblings, Aldo and Mary, her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and her extended family and friends. Anna’s hometown is Prince Rupert, BC, where her parents immigrated from Cassino, Italy. She grew up surrounded by many dear family and friends in a tight-knit community. Throughout her life, Anna spoke fondly of living on the north coast with the rain, the fish and the friendly people. She also met her husband in Prince Rupert and after their wedding in 1979 they soon found themselves living all over BC. Anna, Wally, and their two young daughters settled in Kamloops in 1993. Soon after, she started working at the library and eventually became the TNRD library system booker. It was the perfect fit for her love of books and her immense organizational skills. Her co-workers knew her as a caring and thoughtful individual who always provided quiet support no matter the situation. She was also a terrific baker and crafter who loved to share her latest creations. She loved taking trips to Italy, and considered it the best place for a vacation. We will always remember the wonderful times we spent as a family soaking up the sun on the Amalfi Coast and hunting for the best slice of pizza. Mom, we’re going to miss your hilarious jokes and your steady presence in our life, and we’ll always be grateful for everything you taught us. Her family would like to thank the nurses, doctors, and staff at Royal Inland Hospital as well as at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the BC Cancer Foundation

Wright testimony at Duffy trial grinds campaign caravan to halt KRISTY KIRKUP

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Criminal trial, meet campaign trail. The long-running Mike Duffy saga pulled focus from the federal election yesterday as Nigel Wright — Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff and the beleaguered senator’s $90,000 man — finally told his side of the story. Perhaps not surprisingly, it dovetailed with what the prime minister has been saying for years — that Harper was never aware of a plan for either the Conservative party or Wright himself to pay back Duffy’s impugned expense claims. “Mr. Duffy came to me and I said to him that his expenses, in my judgment, could not be justified,’’ Harper told a news conference at a campaign event in Vancouver as Wright was testifying in an Ottawa courtroom. “You cannot justify claiming expenses you did not actually incur, regardless of what the rules were. That just can’t be justified. I felt he should pay them back.’’ Harper said it was always his understanding that Duffy would repay the expenses himself. “That’s what we were told was going to happen,’’ he said. “When I found out that is not what happened, that in fact they’d been repaid by somebody else, we made that information public and I took the appropriate action.’’ Harper did not clarify what has long been a murky area in the Duffy

What you need to know Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, began testifying at the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy yesterday. Here are five highlights from his first day of testimony: 1. Wright says Stephen Harper was left in the dark about how Duffy’s expenses would be repaid: Wright told court he did not inform the prime minister of the original plan to have the Conservative party fund repay Sen. Mike Duffy’s questionable expense filings. Wright said he informed Harper that Duffy agreed to repay the funds, but did not disclose there was a plan afoot for the party to affair: whether or not Wright’s departure from the Prime Minister’s Office was voluntary. He also continued to take credit for making the scheme public when it was a CTV News report that first disclosed Wright’s $90,000 payment. The New Democrats wasted no time taking full advantage of the scandal’s explosive return to prominence Wednesday. “Nigel Wright may be on the witness stand, but it’s Stephen Harper who is on trial,’’ NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said during a campaign event in Levis, Que. “Mr. Harper has time and again said one thing and its opposite during this whole Duffy-Wright affair. And when you say one thing and its opposite, it’s quite obvious that both can’t be true.’’ Wright testified he did not tell Harper that the Conservative party was planning to

cover the cost of the repayment. That repayment was believed to be $32,000 at the time. 2. Wright explained what “good to go’’ meant: Wright was pressed for details about an email that suggested he had the green light from the prime minister. This email has been used against Harper in the Commons by Opposition parties, who suggested it proves Harper was aware of the repayment details. Wright said “good to go’’ meant he had raised all the points he wanted to discuss with Harper on the repayment on Duffy’s expenses, but he told court he

repay some $32,000 in expenses in February 2013, nor did he tell him that he made the payment himself when the total soared past $90,000. The idea was Duffy would declare publicly that he had made a mistake in filing his claims and he had paid them back — and that no one, not even the prime minister, would ever know where the money actually came from. In one of a massive sheaf of emails released by the court Wednesday, Wright famously wrote that he was “good to go from the PM’’ — a reference to agreed-upon “media lines’’ for Duffy in publicly explaining himself. “I think it’s still too early to say the credibility of what Mr. Wright’s telling us,’’ said NDP candidate Charlie Angus, long the party’s point man on ethics in the House of Commons. “If Prime Minister

did not tell the prime minister where the money was coming from. 3. Wright says Conservative Sen. David Tkachuk pitched a plan to deal with Duffy’s expense issue: Wright said Tkachuk called on Feb. 20, 2013 to outline a proposal that involved Duffy writing to the Senate steering committee, admitting to a mistake in claiming expenses and asking how much he should repay. Wright testified Tkachuk suggested the committee would then withdraw Duffy’s position from an audit review conducted by the firm Deloitte. — The Canadian Press

Harper was running a clean government, his chief of staff should have said to Duffy, ‘I’m sorry, you’re out of here. You ran these bills up, you pay them’.’’ Angus compared Harper and Wright’s version of events to the strict control the Conservative campaign has exerted over its campaign events. “Here’s a guy who won’t allow someone to sit in the bleachers at one of his public events without being completely vetted and yet this deal, a $90,000 payout, is concocted in his office by all his closest people and the prime minister didn’t know?’’ Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who was campaigning in Regina, gave a decidedly muted response to the Senate revelations. “What we see right now is Ottawa is going to be entirely focused on what’s coming out of that trial,’’ Trudeau said.

GUESS WHO’S IN THE HOSPITAL?!? WWW.KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM/KFL-RIH

“People are going to be talking about all the things that went wrong with the Harper government. I’m going to be talking about how we fix Canada and how we build a strong economy for the future of Canadians.’’ That, apparently, means growing the economy not from the “top down,’’ but from the “heart outwards.’’

all submissions and is committed to a thorough and fair environmental assessment. “Our processes are fair and guided by legislation,” she said. “We are also bound by the rules of natural justice and our decisions are subject to review by the federal Court of Appeal.’’ Kinder Morgan’s $5.4-billion proposal would triple the bitumen-carrying capacity of the Trans Mountain line by laying almost 1,000 kilometres of new pipe between Edmonton and Metro Vancouver — including through Kamloops — increasing the number of tankers in Burrard Inlet to 34 from five. The letter, signed by two environmental groups and 33 citizens, states the board has discounted evidence from experts and First Nations, ensuring an “unbalanced and illinformed’’ hearing. It chastises the board for not considering the project’s impact on climate change, shutting out the vast majority of citizens who applied to participate and excluding crossexamination. Peter Wood, terrestrial campaigns director for Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, said

his group’s voice would be best heard outside the process. “We will still be able to voice our concerns,” he said. “The NEB will no longer be able to cite our participation as an example of legitimacy or buy-in by the environmental community.’’ The society is especially concerned about five parks the proposed pipeline would cut through, including Lac Du Bois Grasslands Protected Area above Westsyde and Bridal Veil Falls Park in Chilliwack. Wood called on the B.C. government to conduct an independent review of the project that considers climate change and potential oil spills. A number of citizens who withdrew live in the Gulf Islands. Sandra Leckie, a former park ranger who moved to Salt Spring Island six years ago, said a tanker spill would completely shut down the region’s tourist economy. “It doesn’t take long for salt water to become part of your blood,’’ she said. “I think many people who live on the Gulf Islands have a visceral reaction to the image of an oil spill here.’’

Accused sailors able to return home HALIFAX — A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has ruled three British sailors charged with a sexual assault in Halifax can return to the United Kingdom while on bail. Justice Josh Arnold said Canada has good relations with the United Kingdom, allowing for extradition if the men fail to appear for their Canadian court hearing. Arnold said each of the men will be released on cash bail of $10,000 and on condition they attend court when required. The men must surrender their passports to the Royal Navy and will only receive them before court appearances or meetings with their lawyers. Simon Radford, Joshua Finbow, Craig Stoner and Darren Smalley were in Nova Scotia to play in a hockey tournament with local Armed Forces personnel when they were arrested in April. The Crown alleges the members of the Royal Navy participated in a “group sexual assault” on April 10 inside a barracks at CFB Shearwater, a Halifax military base. The judge noted the Royal Navy has committed to issue an arrest warrant if any of the men don’t show up for work or miss their flights back to Canada.

TORONTO — CTV said its Los Angeles bureau chief has been charged nearly a year after his arrest while covering the protests in Ferguson, Mo. The network said Tom Walters is facing charges of interfering with a police officer. Walters was arrested last August while trying to ask a question of a Missouri Highway Patrol officer and later released without charge.

The incident was captured on video. CTV reports Walters recently received a summons to appear in a St. Louis court this month, on allegations he failed to comply with police commands to disperse from West Florissant Avenue. CTV News president Wendy Freeman said the network “strongly condemns’’ the charges. “Tom has the full support of CTV News as we

fight these charges,’’ she said in a statement. “Almost a year ago, Tom was arrested and detained for eight-and-a-half hours for simply doing his job. As an organization that covers news both in Canada and internationally, CTV News is unwavering in its commitment to defending the rights of all journalists.’’ — The Canadian Press

BURNABY — A python spotted in a conservation area on Burnaby Mountain is a long way from its native African home. City of Burnaby staff saw the snake curled up on a road on Burnaby Mountain near Simon Fraser University around noon on Monday, said Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural. Not knowing whether the unusual brown and black reptile was native to the area, workers snapped a picture and showed it to a local group that rescues wild animals, which determined the snake is definitely not from B.C. In fact, the snake — which was less than a metre long — is a ball python, a nonvenomous constrictor. Staff returned to the park to capture the snake, but it had slithered into the bushes and couldn’t be found. “Irresponsible people will think it’s a good idea to take an exotic pet and dump it off in an open space, a green space, thinking it would be better off for it.’’ Abandoned pets are an ongoing problem for animal-welfare organizations, but exotic pets such as snakes come with their own issues, said Yolanda Brooks, spokeswoman for the Wildlife Rescue Association. She said people should think carefully about owning exotic pets such as pythons because they take a lot of specialized care. The python likely won’t survive very long on Burnaby Mountain because of the cold weather, terrain and predators, Brooks said. However, she added, the snake could present problems for some native animals while it’s around.

A record-breaking circus clown who worked for Cirque du Soleil brought a francophone circus camp to Kamloops last week. KTW caught up with Benoit Ranger on the last day of camp.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

enoit Ranger knows the importance of starting early. The circus clown and instructor began honing his skills as a boy, having been inspired by his grandfather, who was a juggler. “I was very young,” Ranger told KTW. “I received that gift from him.” He has since spent more than 30 years in the industry, including breaking a world record — balancing 24 chairs on a pole balanced on his shoulder — working for Cirque du Soleil and passing on his grandfather’s gift in spreading the spirit of the circus to youngsters. “It’s the time of my life,” Ranger said. “I’m like a farmer. When I’m not in the field, I’m not happy.” See TEACHING, B3

Community groups will be working toward the same goals on Aug. 21. Big Brothers Big Sisters, WorkBC, Canadian Mental Health Association Clubhouse and others will compete for top salsa honours during Gardengate’s annual Sumer Salsa Challenge. But, the groups will also utilize the opportunity to get out in the community, engage and network. “It’s part of our community development,” said Gardengate’s event co-ordinator Erica McLellan. “There’s a lot of community groups that are typically working toward the same goal of bringing accessible services to various populations.” Gardengate, a branch of the Open Door Group, annually donates thousands of pounds of food to local non-profits, such as the Kamloops Food Bank, while providing opportunities to people with disabilities and mental-health illnesses at its 2.8-acre site in Brocklehurst. The property is complete with a greenhouse, orchard, classroom, kitchen and cold storage. It offers cooking and horticulture workshops, field trips and organic farming practices among its regular programming, along with its annual salsa challenge, which began 12 years ago. This year, 12’s the number, with as many competing teams set to provide about three litres each of salsa, which will be available to the public for sampling at no cost. Teams largely use ingredients grown at Gardengate. Staples like chili peppers, onions, peppers, zucchini and herbs are all supplied. “We’re swimming in tomatoes right now,” McLellan said. There’s the more traditional salsas, spicy ones and others with fruit. “Last year, there was a tomato-blueberry salsa,” McLellan noted. It’s up to groups to seek out novel ingredients they might choose to use, like mangos. And it’s up to them to decide whether to dress for the occasion — chili pepper hats have been seen in the past — and many choose to get creative with their tables and presentation. The event rounds out with several other palate pleasers, like fresh pizza and pie, tours of the property and live entertainment. Local salsa and chip company Fresh Is Best Salsa donates chips for the event and will judge the Chef’s Choice component of the competition as salsa experts. The People’s Choice award will be voted on by those who attend and taste. Ratings will be based on a five-point scale, including first impressions, flavour, innovation and following contest rules. Last year, Big Brothers Big Sisters won. “They are coming back to defend their title,” McLellan said with a laugh. It runs from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 915 Southill St. But, once the salsa runs out? “Unfortunately,” McLellan said. “We run out.”

Teaching trapeze, tightrope to kids From B1

Ranger was in Kamloops teaching trapeze, juggling, balancing and more to a group of 16 French-speaking youngsters as part of a week-long francophone circus camp, a partnership between the Francophone Association of Kamloops, Vision Quest Productions and the Dream Circus. L’école Collinesd’or’s gymnasium was transformed for the occasion, complete with trapeze, hoops and balance beams, most of which Ranger packs with him and installs with help from an engineer. The camp is eight weeks of his summer, between his own performance schedule, that sees Ranger touring B.C. cities before heading east. “We travel week by week,” he said. “Circus people always travel.” When KTW dropped into the school on the final day of camp last week, the group of mostly seven-year-olds was practising for its final performance later that night. Ranger had the youngsters dressed up and performing in time to a story theme — think a fun kids version of a Cirque du Soleil show. In one scene, youngsters wearing trench coats lined up in front of each other, throwing their arms backward one by one, with the kids behind them pulling each other’s coats off in a rhythmic sequence. Parent Marjolaine Séguin helped bring the camp to Kamloops for the first time this year. She was about to send son Robert to

WHAT DO THE KIDS THINK? “Tres amusant.” The answers are in French, but the translations are clear. Gavin enjoyed the tightrope because, he said, he has very good balance. As the camp was coming to an end, the seven-year-old said he would be sad not to continue the camp’s activities. Another student, eight-year-old Rhys, also liked the tightrope and appreciated all of the choices offered at the camp. Meanwhile, eight-year-old Jezzabel was able to practise gymnastics while learning how to balance on the rola-bola, a balancing board.

What about safety?

When one thinks of kids participating in circus activities, one thing comes to mind — safety. Parent Marjolaine Séguin wasn’t too worried, however, during a recent week long circus camp at L’école Collines-d’or. “For the stilts, you have to have pads for the knees and they do it on the side,” she said. And, it’s similar for other activities, all of which are learned in baby steps. For the trapeze, for example, two adults stand by. “The first time they don’t swing,” Séguin said. “They just learn to get on it.” As for tightrope, it’s again facilitated by adults and kids start with two sticks for support. There’s one other thing, said instructor Benoit Ranger. “$15-million insurance.” — Jessica Wallace

Vancouver for the camp, having heard about it on CBC Radio, when she had the opportunity to help lure it to the River City. Now that all is said and done, she’s happy with the outcome. Her son can walk the tightrope without sticks now and she said most of the week was spent “just playing, having fun.

“The beauty of this is it’s not a sport,” Séguin said. “And, it’s not exclusively artistic. “It’s also cultural. When people think Cirque du Soleil or circus, there’s a strong movement in French Canada.” Séguin said it’s a good option for francophone summer camps for kids, of which there

Curious about Players’ potluck?

PALMAR IN THE PARK

A taste of Cuba comes to Kamloops as Grupo Cubano Brisas del Palmar takes the stage at Music in the Park on Saturday. The band is renowned in its homeland for its ability to play traditional Cuban music, performing regularly on the country’s tourist radio station, as well as at festivals and other events on the Caribbean island. The show is at 7 p.m. at the Rotary Bandshell in Riverside Park.

Kamloops Players are getting ready for a new season, one that will open in the fall with Harvey, the classic play by Mary Chase. Before then, however, the community theatre group will hold a pot-luck dinner and play reading on Friday at 6 p.m. at Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd. They’ll be reading the Tony Award winning script The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night, based on the book by Mark Haddon. Anyone can come; they just need to bring a dish that begins with the letter “C” for curious. For more information on the production of Harvey, call Sharon Huuha at 250-554-2388 or email huuha@telus.net. The Players will also be at Overlanders Day at McDonald Park on Saturday with a booth to provide information and answer questions about what they do.

Q-and-A with Karla:‘Art is my voice’

recently had the opportunity to paint in a garden of roses with Kamloops artist Kelly

Perry. She is meticulous in her art and has a kind soul. She volunteers, teaching and helping others, and often works with children. I have been honoured to get to know her and sat down with her for a Q-and-A. Karla Pearce: What is your professional background and artistic medium? Kelly Perry: Today I am an artist. I graduated with a bachelor of fine arts in 2005. Those years were the first years of experiencing art through painting, sculpture, ceramics and printmaking — there is just not enough time to do all the things I am passionate about. I would classify myself as a multimedia artist always searching for new ways to create and sometimes work with other artists at my Saturday morning art workshops.

KARLA PEARCE

The Creative

EDGE

Pearce: What inspired you to become an artist? Perry: Not sure what inspired me other than school and art was a case of survival. But, I have never regretted one moment of finding how being creative makes me feel. Art is my voice Pearce: How did you get your start? Perry: I must have always been artsy — creating winning gardens, decorating my homes — but, beyond all that, when a life-altering event approached me and I needed something to survive and make it through the day, art became my therapy. Today, I am fortu-

nate to give the gift of art to others young, old, as well as adults and children with disabilities. It is now their voice. Pearce: Describe your creative process. Perry: If I have to choose one way, I would have to pick my painting style, I use the smallest brushes, even on my four-foot canvas. I take my photos and see what talks to me, picking one out of the pile. I proceed to draw only part of the subject or a small area, then add colour and tonal value. Once this small section is done, I outline most of the colour changes in a black. This process has a connection for me. You see, usually I am somewhat a bit of a scatterbrain and all over the place. I go with how I feel for colour at that moment. The black outlines protect

me from the elements beyond and the fear of failure. The lines keep me safe. Pearce: What is your inspiration? Perry: My inspiration is nature and life — what more could one ask for? Pearce: What motivates you to create/ work? Perry: My motivation to create is almost automatic. I sit down for a morning coffee and the next thing I am sitting on the couch with a brush in my hand. It’s almost like an addition that gives me the highest of highs. It allows me to get lost and the world just passes me by. Pearce: What is the most difficult thing about creating/doing your work? Perry: Can’t think of one at the moment, other than how my feelings control my painting. I may start with a

vibrant colour and, when I go into it the next day, it may totally change. Just thought of one. Plein air, the thought of it controlling me, it almost states the colours I need to use and the lines I need to make — what a challenge for me. Pearce: What is the best thing about creating/doing your work? Perry: The best thing for me is the peace it brings into my life and opportunity to be able to help others with disabilities create their voice and to see the smiles on their faces. Art has no borders and there are no mistakes — it’s a feeling within us. Pearce: What was the worst/best moment in your career? Perry: This spring, being turned down for an exhibition when I was told my art wasn’t as good as in the past.

Funny, that person or persons had never seen my art before. I was devastated. It made me feel like that child so many years ago. This decision in the end was positive as it allowed me to make important life changes. Pearce: What are you working on now? Perry: Right now I am finishing an acrylic painting for a plein air exhibition at Chazou in September and my prints as the Kamloops Printmakers have an exhibition at the Kamloops Arts Council until Aug. 29. Pearce: What are your future plans/ goals? Perry: Every artist’s dream is to be a successful artist, sell a few pieces and make a difference to others. Think that’s probably every artist’s dream. Pearce: Do you have any advice or words of wisdom you would like to share with the next generation of artists?

Perry: Don’t ever stop creating how you feel and, remember, the sky is the limit if you work hard. Life is full of adventure. Let art be your voice. Pearce: How do we find you? Perry: I have created a Saturday morning art workshop at the Old Kamloops Cultural Centre every Saturday morning from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Drop in for an hour or three hours. Everyone is welcome. For more information on Kelly Perry or her workshops, email kellycperry@hotmail. com, call 250-372-2611 or go online to yllitwyers.wix.com/home.

he Malaise Era was the antithesis of the muscle car heyday that existed merely a year before its start in 1973. It was a dark period characterized best by underwhelming engines, U.S. environmental protection agency restrictions and questionable styling.

GS-1987-Buick-Grand-National-GNX was often referred to as Darth Vader’s car, due to its all-black paint scheme.

You could run your new Cobra through the gears without raising the attention of local

law enforcement. The era wasn’t without hope and saw production of a few

diamonds in the rough:

1977 Pontiac

Call it the Burt Reynolds effect, but the 1977 Trans-Am is still a kick-ass ride. Featured in 1977’s top grossing film, Smokey and the Bandit, the black and gold Trans-Am had as much star power as the moustachioed Reynolds. The power for the T/A came from a 6.6litre V8, producing a disappointing 200

horses for 1977. It didn’t seem to matter as you cruised down main street, however, T-Tops in the trunk and blasting Journey through the eight-track. The menacing looks of the Trans-Am seemed to be more than supple to erase any memory of the days of muscle car past, as other drivers stared in awe from the seats of the latest econo-box.

1981-83 DeLorean DMC-12

The DMC-12 was the car from the future no one had asked for, but everyone wanted. Built by an automotive dream team consisting of John DeLorean, Colin Chapman and Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DMC-12 was built to be a futuristic luxury coupe with a 200-horsepower Wankel rotary engine and price of $12,000. Execution of the concept missed the mark and the production DMC-12 drew its underwhelming 130 horsepower from a Renault 6 and was sold for $36,000. Despite this, the DeLorean secured its spot in the hearts of people around the globe as Doc Brown’s time machine in the ‘80s mega-franchise, Back to the Future. If only they had come stock with the flux capacitor.

G e t Y o u r T o y o ta . c a

Germany continued to make fast cars throughout the malaise era, such as the BMW M1 and Porsche 930, but Audi created a new segment of car with the introduction of its all-wheel drive performance car, the Audi Quattro. The Quattro was originally introduced to the European marketplace in 1980, but did not make its way to North America until 1983. With power from its turbocharged fivecylinder going to all four wheels, the Audi Quattro became a rally

car legend and the production models looked the part with its noticeable fender flares, Audi graphics and BBS alloy wheels. The car was ahead of its time and only 664 were ever sold in the U.S. before Audi discontinued it stateside in 1987.

1974-76 Bricklin SV-1

Canada’s primary contribution to the malaise era was the brainchild of American millionaire Malcolm Bricklin, who dreamt of making the world’s safest sport car, naming his creation the Safety Vehicle One, or SV-1. The SV-1 had a smattering of safety features ranging from an integrated roll cage to safety bumpers and even lacked an ashtray to discourage drivers from smoking. The Bricklin was powered by an AMC or Ford V8 and was rated favourably at the time against its competitor, the Corvette. Despite initial reviews, the car was notorious for poor build quality and the engine was prone to overheating due to its small radiator. Bricklin went into receivership in 1976 and the SV-1 was dead in the water.

1987 Buick Grand National/GNX

The Buick Grand National was not your grandfather’s Buick. Often referred to as Darth Vader’s car due to its all black paint scheme, the Buick Grand National was powered by a turbocharged V6 and was rated for only 245 horsepower. The Grand National Experimental, or GNX, was the baddest of the Grand Nationals and, after rolling off the production line, it was sent to the mad scientists over at McLaren Performance, who modified the engine to be able to run zero to 160 kilometres per hour in a mere 4.3 seconds — a figure impressive by modern standards.

Camera sees around corners Mazda MX-5: More love for that tiny two-door

DRIVEWAY CANADA

Ford is introducing new vehicle camera technology to help see around corners even when drivers cannot, aiding in reducing driver stress and potentially averting accidents. The split-view camera feature helps drivers see traffic and obstacles that enter the vehicle’s path from the side by displaying a 180-degree view of the area in front of or behind a vehicle. Split view uses real-time video feeds from one-megapixel wide-angle lens cameras in the grille and tailgate. A tri-panel display in the eight-inch screen helps drivers understand quickly whether an obstacle is coming from either side or straight on. Split view is activated at the touch of a button and automati-

cally shuts off when vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h. Ford introduced split view on the 2015 Ford Edge and 2016 Explorer in the United States and China. Front split view is offered on Edge. Front and rear split view comes standard in the U.S. on the 2016 Explorer Limited on sale now and Explorer Platinum, on sale soon. Front split view is coming to the allnew Ford S-MAX and Galaxy in Europe, available to order now. Split view will be offered on nearly all Ford SUVs globally by 2020. A tiny telescopic jet washer keeps the front camera clean on every vehicle with split view. Explorer also incorporates a washer for the rear camera. Ford plans to make rear-view cameras standard on all of its North American light passenger vehicles

by 2018 — and front cameras available on a majority of its vehicles globally by volume by 2020 — meaning the company plans to put more than two million new cameras a year on the road. Ford introduced rear-view cameras in the 2007 Expedition and now offers an available backup camera in every Ford car, SUV and light truck in North America. Backup cameras are standard in Focus, Fusion, Explorer, Escape, Edge and Mustang. The next Ford Super Duty will offer the company’s most advanced camera technology, helping with lane-keeping assistance and enabling customers to see more angles around a truck and trailer than ever before. The 2016 F-150 has up to five cameras available, the most of any vehicle in the Ford

lineup. Four cameras in F-150 are mounted in the outside mirrors, and rear and front of the vehicle to enable a 360-degree view and backup view functions. A forward-looking camera mounted behind the rearview mirror is used to activate auto high beams and lane-keeping assist, which looks for lane deviations. The driver never sees the image from this camera, but the vehicle’s computer uses the visual signal to operate the rest of the system. Ford cameras are tested under extreme conditions – beyond what they will endure during a typical vehicle lifetime. Each camera component is subjected to more than 1,000 hours of testing to make sure it can withstand temperature changes, humidity, dust, salt and more.

increased for MX-5 lovers. Ten-fold — perhaps more. One can look at the specs sheet, gripe about its 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque from its 2.0 L four-cylinder, and argue it’s not nearly enough power. Through its renaissance, it loses 12 horsepower but gains eight 10 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing 2015 MX-5. Though, I’d argue, it can possibly convert the blackest of hearts. Less is more applies in this case. I will agree that 155 horsepower isn’t a shocking number and, yes, it could have a little more gusto, but that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of flavour and flair. The beauty of the MX-5 is it’s still a driver’s car. And Mazda made sure specific elements trickled down from generation to generation. Sure, specs, engines, transmissions, components would change but, at its core, it would stay the same. That core involves the mantra of “from grandmas to Grand Prix drivers.” Meaning, you can be from any walk of life and still have a blast behind the wheel.

The Law of Attraction suggests that we invite things into our lives that we project — or, like attracts like. For instance, if we’re positive people, positive people will gravitate to us. Perhaps it’s because of a longstanding history or love of the Mazda MX-5, née Miata, that our lives were once again intertwined for yet another round of memory making. It’s hard to wipe the smile off my face when I have this two-door as a companion on a journey along the sinuous and slender roads of southern California. It sparked girlhood feelings of giddiness and excitement as I shifted through the gears of the new and lighter six-speed manual transmission; remembering the times when I rode shotgun with my mom in her red, 1990 Miata, when I would have rather been the captain. It brought so much mirth into my life and continues to do so today. With the introduction of the 2016 model, expect that merriment to be

Public speaking just lost the top spot as the most feared task for the young generation. Distracted, dangerous drivers are now their first concern, new research funded by Ford finds. Generation Z consumers are more afraid of other motorists driving dangerously than death, public speaking, spiders and snakes, according to independent research company Penn Schoen Berland. Top fears for Millennials and members of Generation Z: • Other motorists driving dangerously (88 per cent); • Public speaking (75 per cent); • Death (74 per cent); • Spiders (69 per cent), • Snakes (69 per cent). “Younger generations are growing up with different fears than their parents or grandparents,” said Kevin Shkolnik, vice president of Penn Schoen Berland. “Younger drivers are worried about distracted drivers, but they think technology isn’t just the problem, it’s also the solution, as we are seeing growing demand for driverassistance technologies.” The most worrisome driving situations among survey respondents include: • Snowy or icy roads (79 per cent); • Manoeuvring into a tight parking spot (75 per cent); • Backing onto a busy street (74 per cent); • Monitoring blind spots (70 per cent) • Not knowing where I’m going (69 per cent). Penn Schoen Berland conducted the poll on behalf of Ford Motor Company, surveying 1,000 Generation Z (ages 16 to 22) and Generation Y (ages 23 to 34). The online survey was conducted between April 29 and May 4, 2015; the margin of error is +/- 3.1 per cent. Ford says the new research validates its decision to offer technologies that will help drivers with
