Council pours out rejection as wine sales get nod ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

By early fall, customers at SaveOn-Foods in Sahali will be able to purchase a bottle of vino with milk and eggs. At its meeting on Tuesday, Kamloops city council voted 5-1 to allow the grocery chain to sell wine on its shelves at its location in the Columbia Place shopping centre, reversing a controversial decision in May. Steve Moriarty, director of wines for the Overwaitea Food Group, said the store will begin setting up for wine sales as quickly as possible,

with the goal of opening a special wine section with about 1,000 wine selections in a few months. “The store is pretty full, so it does take us a while to move things around,” he said. “As we move it around, we’ll find a home for everything. We won’t lose any of our products we normally sell to our customers on a day-to-day basis.” The store will also hire a team of employees to work exclusively in its wine department, Moriarty said. Save-On will sell exclusively B.C. VQA wines — a distinction many councillors who changed their votes cited as important. Al Deacon, owner of the Fox

’N Hounds liquor store in Sahali and one of the main opponents of Save-On’s first application, said he still feels the grocery chain has an unfair competitive advantage over private retailers. “Unfortunately they can sell a whole lot more different commodities than we’re allowed to sell. We can’t even sell milk, which is a mix for a lot of the products that we sell,” he said. Coun. Tina Lange said she was initially concerned the store would be able to sell extremely low-cost wines, as long as they were produced in B.C. While she voted to allow Save-

On’s wine section, Lange said she’s concerned about liquor sales becoming more and more commonplace. “This hasn’t been an easy thing to make a decision on,” she said. “The public thinks why wouldn’t you just approve it, it’s great. Of course it’s great — wouldn’t it be great to have it at Home Depot? At the gas station?” Coun. Dieter Dudy, who supported Save-On’s first bid to sell wine as well, said council needs to listen to residents, many of whom were critical of the city’s first decision on the matter. “It’s our role as councillors not

to impose our personal beliefs on situations that come before us,” he said. “We have a duty of care to listen to the public and we have a duty to reflect what the public is telling us. There were 138 submissions in favour of this application and four against.” Coun. Denis Walsh cast the lone vote against grocery store sales, arguing Save-On-Foods should create a store within a store — as it would be required to do to sell beer and hard liquor — if it wants to sell any kind of alcohol.

A man standing trial for allegedly raping a former prostitute at gunpoint on McArthur Island in 2009 told a B.C. Supreme Court jury on Wednesday that he was the victim of an attempted blackmail. Taylor James Matchett took the stand in his own defence, refuting a harrowing tale told by the alleged victim earlier this week about being forced to perform multiple sex acts with a gun pointed at her head. Matchett is charged with sexual assault with a firearm. Now 28, Matchett said he dropped his then-girlfriend off at work on Nov. 11, 2009, before driving up and down Tranquille Road in hopes of hiring a prostitute. “I parked on a side road where I’d observed a street walker to be and she approached the vehicle,” he

said. “She asked if I was looking for a date. I said yes.” Matchett said he then drove the woman, whose name is protected by a court-ordered publication ban, to a remote parking lot on McArthur Island. He told jurors they had agreed on a specific sex act for $60 — an amount he said he paid beforehand. Matchett said the agreed upon sex act took place. Afterwards, he said, he noticed his condom had broken and informed the woman. “She said she didn’t have any STDs, but I was going to have to pay her $500,” he said. “I asked why and she said so she wouldn’t go to the police and say I raped her. “I said not a f—ing chance, excuse my language.” Matchett said he threw the woman’s belongings out of his vehicle and left McArthur Island. In court, Matchett said he saw the woman twice in the following

weeks — once at a North Shore coffee shop and again when he picked her up for sex 10 days after the initial incident. “There was no acknowledgement of the situation from several days before,” he said. “I assumed the issue had been laid to rest — the night was done and over with.” Court has previously heard the woman fled McArthur Island on foot, using a neighbour’s phone to call 911. A forensic examination found Matchett’s DNA on her body. Matchett said he moved to Edmonton from Kamloops in 2012, when he began living with a common-law partner. Court heard he returned home from work one day last November and was greeted at home by Edmonton police executing a warrant out of Kamloops. The case against Matchett is expected to be in the hands of the jury by the end of the week.

Kamloops city council has given its support to a proposed medicalmarijuana production facility in a Dallas industrial park. Dr. Richard Brownlee of KamCan Products had written to council, offering a tour of the facility and asking for a letter of support. Last fall, council agreed to rezone the company’s 8170 Dallas Drive property to permit the facility. On Tuesday, council voted unanimously to send a letter stating its support for medicalmarijuana production in Kamloops. Mayor Peter Milobar said the letter will avoid singling out any particular company, so council can avoid giving preferential treatment to a single business. A motion to send the letter passed unanimously without debate. KamCan has applied for a licence to produce marijuana from Health Canada, but has yet to undergo an inspection. Brownlee said construction of the facility, which will include a lab to extract oils from the marijuana, will not begin until Health Canada has given the company approval. “KamCan Products Inc. will be fully compliant with all Health Canada regulatory requirements and will provide a safe, reliable source of medical marijuana for those who have appropriate health conditions,” Brownlee wrote.

When Target closed its 133 stores across Canada last year, it left behind swaths of empty commercial space, including 128,000 square feet in Sahali Mall. That unoccupied mall area has contributed to a retail vacancy rate of eight per cent in Kamloops. KTW FILE PHOTO

CITY COMMERCIAL OCCUPANCY RATE DEEMED STABLE CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The industrial real-estate market is seeing the highest demand in Kamloops in what is overall stable occupancy in commercial markets. A research report compiled by Colliers International in Kamloops found a declining industrial vacancy rate, along with renewed interest in the Gateway

Industrial Park in Dallas. The industrial vacancy rate declined slightly to 3.8 per cent at the same time additional space came on the market. “It’s pretty normal for Kamloops,” said Katie Martin, market intelligence co-ordinator for Colliers. “We’re one of those larger industrial markets where there’s high tenant demand.” The report notes 35,000 square feet of new supply has been built in the past six

months, including the Noremac building in Gateway. Cummins also intends to move from Southgate to the east side of the city. “Gateway is on a big push right now,” Martin said. There is one retail building under construction in Kamloops, at Landmark Centre, but otherwise retail, industrial and commercial building is at a standstill, what Martin called “a blip.

“It’s not an indication of what’s going on.” While lease demand downtown is steady, Martin said the empty former Target space in Sahali Mall continues to drive up the overall retail vacancy rate to nearly eight per cent. “That’s the big story,” Martin said. “We’d have a stable market if not for that.” The city’s office market has a 4.9 per cent vacancy rate, part of a long-term stable trend.

Victoria hands TRU $300,000 grant for various programs DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Tim Kasten returned to Thompson Rivers University to teach carpentry, he discovered the equipment he would be using was all too familiar. He used it himself when he was a student in 1994 at what was then the University College of the Cariboo. Yesterday, however, Kasten had the opportunity to demonstrate some new equipment TRU purchased with the help of a $300,000 grant from the provincial government. The total stations survey equipment, used for pinpointaccurate measurements, came with a 170-plus page manual,

Kasten told the group gathered in the carpentry workshop at the university. “And I was up late last night reading it all,” he said. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake announced the funding, noting he learned of the need for new industry-standard trades equipment from his friend Kasten. Harley Russell, a secondyear carpentry apprentice, also spoke to the group, which included Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, praising the program and the investment by the government. “Trades men and women build our country,” Russell

said after wishing his classmates well when they write their final exam today. Lake, who is on leave from the university, where he is a member of the animaltechnology faculty, said the greatest strength TRU offers is its comprehensiveness and quality of instruction. He added his government anticipates more than onemillion jobs will be created in the next decade and, with the existing programs at TRU and the new equipment, the university’s graduates will be well-positioned to find work. The $300,000 grant will also be used for the cook, mechanical, welding, automotive and millwright programs.

Risto Milner plays some folk music while busking at the corner of Victoria Street and Third Avenue yesterday. Milner said he loves playing in the downtown core. More entertainment is on the way as the annual Downtown Merchants’ Market will take to the streets for five days between July 20 to July 24. The market will feature sidewalk sales, live music and other entertainment. Highlights include the Kamloops Farmers’ Market, Kamloops Artisans Market, the Taste of Downtown, Street Festival Friday, Car-Free Day and Battle of the Bands.

Walsh says it is all about ‘profits’ From A1

“To me, this is just about profits,” Walsh said. “It’s profits for Save-On, it’s profits for the wineries, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s mostly more profits for the B.C. government through taxes from added consumption.” Coun. Pat Wallace was absent

from the meeting. Mayor Peter Milobar, who owns a liquor store, and Coun. Arjun Singh, whose brother-in-law owns a liquor store, recused themselves from the debate. While he’s disappointed to see council reverse its decision, Deacon said he’s glad the city will restrict Save-On to carrying a narrower range of products

than it had first applied for. “We were disappointed, but their ask this time around was certainly not their ask the first time around,” Deacon said. Deacon said it will be business as usual at Fox ’N Hounds once Save-On’s wine section opens. “We’ll just do what we do. We compete every day,” he said.

Inmate attacks at B.C. provincial prisons, like Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, are increasing, with the union representing guards calling for increased staffing.

Dealing with more violence

Blair Rota

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A spokesman for the union that represents correctional officers in B.C.’s provincial jails says Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre is an overcrowded, understaffed and violent tinderbox — and he’s doubtful a new South Okanagan institution slated to open this fall will do much to ease the pressure. BCGEU spokesman Dean Purdy said there has been a drastic increase in violence in B.C. jails in recent years. According to provincial figures, he said, inmate attacks on officers were up 42 per cent between 2014 and 2015. “We’re seeing this type of thing trending upwards,” Purdy said. “These are significant increases.” Purdy said overcrowding is an issue at B.C. jails — KRCC, which was built in 1989 to house 168 prisoners, is home to about 310 inmates — but not the most pressing one. “Overcrowding is a problem, but it’s not as big an issue as understaffing,” he said. “We can handle the overcrowding, but we need the staffing.”

FRIDAY

POP-UP PICNIC

Purdy, who was in Kamloops last week to tour KRCC, said another change has been in the general makeup of prisoners. He said an increasing number of inmates have gang affiliations and nearly one in three suffer from some type of mental-health issue. “We just have a different type of inmate now,” he said. “It changes things for us.” A new provincial jail, the Okanagan Correctional Centre near Osoyoos, is slated to open later this year. Purdy said he’s not optimistic it will do much to change the state of affairs for provincial prisoners in B.C. “We’re hoping that it will, but we don’t know,” he said, noting the plan is for the new jail to begin operations at partial capacity. “We’re hoping they will open up all of the living units at the Okanagan jail.” According to Purdy, two other provincial jails are operating with closed living units — one closed at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre and three or four shut down at Surrey Pretrial Centre. “They can staff them,” he said. “They just haven’t done that.”

“isOvercrowding a problem,

but it’s not as big as an issue as understaffing. We can handle the overcrowding, but we need the staffing.

OLYMPICS WORTH CELEBRATING

n recent years, the Olympic Games — and the organization in charge, the International Olympic Committee — have rightly taken some knocks. The IOC has come under fire much in the same way soccer organization FIFA has, with allegations of all manner of corruption afoot, from host cities spending big bucks to convince IOC voters to choose them, to funds for venue construction mysteriously disappearing, as was reportedly the case at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. On that note, costs to host an Olympic Games have skyrocketed into the billions, which leaves the majority of right-thinking cities — potential host sites, all of them — to bow out on their own, lest their bids bankrupt its own residents. This leaves only bidders who are, in many ways, unsuitable to host such an event. Which brings us to this summer’s event in Rio, where organizers are so far behind they have given up much on the to-do list already — including the much-publicized cleaning up of the outdoor water venues, which have reportedly made people sick. With all these issues, many have suggested the Olympic Games are simply no longer worth it, but try telling that to the hundreds of athletes who’ve waited four years — or in some cases, a lifetime — to perform on this, the biggest of stages. When the Games start on Aug. 5, many of the problems — with Rio specifically and the Olympic committee as a whole — will simply be pushed to the background, for better or worse, as we watch athletes soar to great heights. In spite of everything, we still love to watch the athletes, in their country’s colours, strive to be the best in the world. It is still among the most prestigious sports titles any athlete can earn. It has inspired millions to cheer, to cry, to hold our breath. It’s about pride and inspiration — and that’s worth saving. — Black Press

Putting a cork in the debate

here to begin? Well, let’s start with the fortuitous meeting between Coun. Donovan Cavers and Save-On-Foods store manager Ernie Cordonier, one that gave our intrepid municipal politician the chance to finally ask that burning question he had — just what are your security plans if Save-On gets to sell wine? If only Cavers had done that when he first felt that concern, the worry that, somehow, a major food chain that also sells so many medicinal and tobacco items might have no idea how to ensure a 16-year-old didn’t magically manage to buy an expensive bottle of VQA wine. But, better late than never, I guess — although it might have been wiser for Cavers to seek out the answer at an earlier point in this long, ridiculous debacle of a debate. And it’s good to know his council colleague, Marg Spina, saw a concern answered and that it is now OK for the Sahali grocery store to move the existing VQA licence “around the corner” from its former location at Discover Wines. Last year, Spina had a concern that started this monthslong flip-flopping decisionmaking process. Her worry was government legislation that allowed the Save-On chain to acquire the licence could lead to, as colleague Andrea Klassen reported at the time,

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL “a proliferation of new liquor stores in Kamloops.” But, then, she’s also the councillor who, when government changed the laws to allow for wine tastings at farmers’ markets, expressed concern people could get drunk there. At least Coun. Tina Lange has been consistent with her concern that, given the new right to sell VQA wines made in B.C., Save-On might try to expand that area of its store with items like coolers and sake. The fact the chain’s representatives have said several times that wording included in its zoning-variance request came directly from government language and their true plan was to sell the fancy B.C. wines only should have appeased Lange’s issue, one might argue. Then again, maybe she had good reason to expect the Pattison chain to flip-flop on its decision. Lange also continued to raise — somewhat sarcastically, I felt — her belief there was

no need to allow for “one-stop shopping” that combined groceries and wine-buying. Not everyone has the kind of mobility she has to make multiple stops to complete their to-do lists. And, as for Coun. Denis Walsh’s complaint about the issue, the simple answer is for him to simply get over the fact the provincial government made a decision with which he doesn’t agree. It’s not the first time, it won’t be the last time and, if he doesn’t like it, Walsh can take it up with Victoria. But he should not let it govern his obligation to represent the people of Kamloops in the system that makes decisions that do not mesh with his opinions. Here’s hoping we can put this craziness to rest. One final point to be made and it comes from watching this week’s council meeting via the online livestream feed from city hall. Simply put, it’s not very good and needs to be improved so people who want to be aware of what is being discussed, but can’t make it to city hall, can be informed. Providing solid online access to meetings should be a priority for the folks we elect. And, while we’re talking about it, maybe upgrade the technological capabilities and approvals to let councillors who can’t be there in person at least take part in the discussions. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A GOOD DOCTOR IS HARD TO FIND IN KAMLOOPS Editor: My family doctor moved away several years ago, much to my dismay. He was a fantastic doctor who cared about his patients, but I believe he was disillusioned with a system that saw his patients not receiving proper medical treatment. Like a traffic cop, he would direct his patients to the proper channels and I believe those patients were bounced back to him due to an overloaded and incompetent medical system. Some of his patients had severe painful medical conditions that went untreated for many years. Some of those patients chose strong pain medicine to cope and I believe the good doctor was run out of town for this reason.

I was overjoyed when I found a new family doctor, but it didn’t take long to realize he was incompetent and a complete jerk. I found a third family doctor fresh out of medical school and was on Cloud Nine. My medical conditions, which are life-altering, are being addressed with the same treatment I received many years ago. The pain is no less severe, but I am no longer prescribed decent pain medicine. Every time I visit the new doctor and she tries to pass me off to another specialist, I get the same speech that it will probably take a long time to see anyone. I am waiting for services she requested three years ago and I am on a list to

see a rheumatologist. Oh, boy, I can’t wait to see how long I suffer before I get to see one. Last year, I was experiencing difficulty breathing and shortness of breath and it took almost 12 months before I stopped falling through the cracks in the medical system. By that time, the condition had gone away on its own. I lost a great doctor who cared deeply enough about me to give me good pain medicine because the medical system is a complete failure. Hopefully, I will find another good doctor because at least I felt great while I waited to get treated.

“I am

waiting for services she requested three years ago.”

Finally, many cats, especially at a young age, can be trained to use a harness and a leash. We strongly recommend collars and proper identification, such as an ID tag, a microchip or a tattoo, for all cats who have the potential to be outdoors, either voluntarily or by mistake. The City of Kamloops has voluntary cat registration and does have the ability through Bylaw 34-11 to impound cats. The BC SPCA is supportive of mandatory cat identification and registration, as it helps return missing or wandering cats to their

guardians more quickly. It also ensures unowned cats can be more easily identified and spayed or neutered to prevent the birth of homeless, unwanted kittens, many of which end up in our shelters each year. The BC SPCA is working toward all cats throughout the province having a loving, warm home.

A Conair water bomber drew plenty of attention during last weekend’s Kamloops Airport open house.

Airport sees rare decrease in travellers CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The number of travellers using Kamloops Airport was down 3.5 per cent in June, driven by a hangover from the Northern Alberta fires. But airport manager Fred Legace said he expects those numbers will turn around with the continuing

rebuild of Fort McMurray. “The surprise is how many people [from Kamloops] work on the operational side,” he said. Many of those workers were idled as major plants were shut down. Despite the blip, Legace said the airport is mirroring a strong year for tourism across B.C. Tourism Kamloops reported this week a

record April, the most recent number available, for hotel expenditures. The airport has benefited this year from events including the IIHF Women’s World Cup Hockey event event, but lost passengers when WestJet ended its direct service to Edmonton. Legace said he expects traveller numbers to rebound, although forecasting when is difficult.

Kamloops is welcoming more tourists, with money spent by visitors in April being the most since 2012.

Tourism boom hits the Tournament Capital CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Driven by the weak loonie, Kamloops is benefiting from a increase in tourism spending across the province. Tourism Kamloops reported for April, the most recent month available, that money spent on overnight accommodation in Kamloops is the most since 2012, when statistics were first recorded through the collection of the hotel room levy. So far this year, revenues through the hotel levy are up by 33 per cent. Beverly DeSantis, the new

CEO of Tourism Kamloops, said the IIHF Women’s World Cup Hockey event in February was a major contributor to the numbers this year. “We’re [also] seeing what’s happening across Canada with the dollar and American visits,” she said. The low loonie is keeping Canadians at home, resulting in increased visits from within the province and from Alberta. The agency is attempting to expand the busy season for hoteliers beyond July and August and encourage visitors to stay for an extra night. DeSantis said the early numbers should translate to

a strong 2016 and beat 2014, which she called “a great year.” The increased visits come as hoteliers are set to decide this year whether to renew a five-year program to collect the hotel tax and whether to increase it to three per cent from today’s two per cent. The money goes to Tourism Kamloops for marketing. Some is also earmarked for the provincial marketing agency. A majority of hoteliers must approve of the renewal and proposed increase in a vote. Those voting in favour must also comprise at least 51 per cent of rooms.

Highway contracts awarded Two local companies will begin resurfacing work in the coming weeks on Kamloops-area highways. Dawson Construction of Kamloops will resurface the Trans-Canada Highway between the Springhill and Sagebrush overpasses, as well as 13 kilometres of Long Lake Road. The contract is valued at $1.6 million. The work on the Trans-Canada Highway will begin in mid-July and work on Long Lake Road in early August. The project is expected to finish in the fall. Belvedere Place Contracting Ltd. of Kelowna has been awarded a $3.14-million contract to resurface approximately 27 kilometres of Highway 97C west from Logan Lake toward the

Highland Valley Copper mine. Preliminary work will begin before the end of July and the project is expected to be completed in September. Work will not occur over holiday weekends and government staff will ‘monitor traffic throughout the duration of the projects in an effort to minimize delays caused by the construction. However, motorists are advised to allow for extra time and are reminded to obey traffic control personnel and construction speed limits, and watch for workers and highway message boards. For up-to-date traffic advisories, go online to drivebc.ca.

Through six months, OD deaths climbing DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The number of deaths due to illicit drug use in the province continues to soar. In the first six months of 2016, the number of fatalities were 74.2 per cent higher than the same six-month period last year. The province has seen 37 such deaths in the first half of the year.

ACTIVITY GUIDE

Kamloops has had the fourth-highest number of deaths in B.C. this year, recording 22 through the end of June. In preceding years, the year-end totals were seven (2015), eight (2013 and 2014), five (2012), two (2011 and 10 (2010). Vancouver has seen the most deaths, with 69 as of June 30. Last year, the total in Vancouver by year’s end was 126.

Through six months this year, Surrey and Victoria have recorded 44 and 29 overdose deaths, respectively. Last year’s totals were 71 for Surrey and 17 for Victoria. Fentanyl continues to be a concern for the province, the B.C. Coroners Service reported in the press release on overdose deaths. The drug, which is up to 100 times more potent than morphine, was found

in 60 per cent of overdose deaths through to the end of May, almost double the 31 per cent ratio in 2015. Eight of the overdose deaths in Kamloops this year have been linked to fentanyl. The fentanyl statistics don’t go to mid-year because there is a onemonth lag in obtaining data due to the testing required. Previous years have shown a fentanyl link to

overdose deaths to be 25 per cent in 2014, 15 per cent in 2013 and five per cent in 2012. Fentanyl-detected deaths are also now being seen throughout the province, rather than only on the Lower Mainland, the service reported. For both Vancouver Island and the Southern Interior, the number of deaths in which fentanyl was detected in five months in 2016 has

exceeded the number for all 12 months of 2015. The majority of overdose deaths continues to be males, with 301 to the end of June. Most fall within the ages of 20 to 39. The coroners’ service defines illicit drugs as street drugs, medications not prescribed to the deceased, a combination of those two categories or drugs for which the origin is not known.

Kamloops RCMP said there is nothing to indicate foul play is connected to the discovery of a woman’s body on the south shore of the South Thompson River on Tuesday morning. The First Nations woman, who police believe was in her 50s, was found on the ground in the backyard of a home in the 800-block of Lorne Street. “Kamloops RCMP general duty and major crime officers conducted an investigation and found nothing suspicious,” Const. Jodi Shelkie said, noting the BC Coroners Office is now working to determine cause of death.

Four bodies have been discovered in public areas of Kamloops in the past month: a man near Columbia Street and Notre Dame Drive on June 8, a body on the north side of Kamloops Lake on July 2, 26-year-old Kelly Brewer in Peterson Creek Park on July 6 and the woman on the riverbank this week. Foul play has been ruled out in three of the four deaths, though no cause has been released. No information has been released on the body found at Kamloops Lake — not the age nor sex — other than the fact it was in an advanced state of decomposition.

Making way for BC Hydro The City of Kamloops will spend just under $3 million to shuffle the layout of its public works yard as it paves the way for a new BC Hydro substation. The Crown corporation announced last fall it plans to build a $49-million substation on six acres of city land next to Kenna Cartwright Park. In a report to council, public works director Jen Fretz said the site of the city’s firefighter training centre appears to be the best place for the substation because it is flat and can accommodate

necessary right-of-ways. The city has not said how much it will make from the sale because the transaction hasn’t closed, but CAO David Trawin has stated it received “fair market value” for the property. Fretz said most of the reorganization will be funded using a non-refundable deposit B.C. Hydro has already paid. The city will also use $250,000 from the Pacific Way rehabilitation project now underway, the tender for which came in underbudget.

The Kamloops Fire Rescue training centre will move behind its existing location, while water, sewer, power and drainage on the property will all be reconfigured. At its Tuesday meeting, Kamloops city council awarded a $934,000 tender for the first phase of the project to Acres Enterprises. Work will begin this summer and wrap in the fall. BC Hydro will take possession of the property in January 2017.

Wai Hung Ma has been spending plenty of time at the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA in the past year, perfecting his swimming. That’s not easy for him. Ma has cerebral palsy, a condition he was diagnosed with at birth. But, he perseveres and, with one good arm, he’s planning to use his new ability to help out the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. Ma plans to swim two kilometres on Aug. 19 — that’s 40 laps of the Y’s pool — and has been training hard to ensure he meets the goal. He’s hoping people will support and has set the maximum donation he’ll accept from any person at $5 for the Swim All the Wai Event. Ma is also writing a book about his project and the work he’s put into it that he hopes will be ready for purchase later in the summer. A portion of sale proceeds will also go to the shelter. For more information or to make a donation. contact Ma by email at whungma@gmail.com or contact Graham Specht at graham@kcris.ca.

prospect of actually having to lead the country into the post-Brexit wilderness. Johnson disappeared from sight for four days after the referendum, which gave the coleader of the Brexit campaign, Justice Minister Michael Gove, time to plan a coup against him. Gove was supposed to be running Johnson’s campaign, but he instead announced Johnson was not up to the job and declared he was running for the leadership himself. Johnson withdrew (probably glad to be out) and Gove’s treachery was so blatant that even his fellow Conservatives turned against him. For comic relief, Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, also quit, saying he wanted his life back. All the main Brexit leaders were gone in just two weeks, leaving only Andrea Leadsom as a pro-Brexit contender for the Conservative leadership. Leadsom was a hardright pro-Brexiter who only entered Parliament in 2010. She was a lightweight who would never normally be seen as a potential prime minister and her views were so extreme — marriage should only be for Christians, not gays; bring back fox hunting — that she probably could not win a general election. But Conservative members of Parliament worried she might win the leadership race anyway because the people who decide that are the 150,000 paid-

settles its internal struggle, so May will have a free run for a while. May supported the remain side in the referendum, but very quietly. She has now pledged to carry out the wishes of (52 per cent of) the voters and lead Britain out of the European Union — but that doesn’t mean she has the faintest idea how to do it. The Guardian newspaper summed up the situation in an editorial: “It is now brutally clear that there is not a plan — no plan for how and when Britain leaves, no plan for future relations with Europe and no plan at all for how political assent might be secured for any of the imperfect political options on offer.” That is as true for May as it was for the defunct pro-Brexit leadership. But cheer up. Assuming Angela Merkel remains chancellor of Germany and Hillary Clinton wins the U.S. presidential election in November, by year’s end the three biggest Western countries will all be run by women.

up Conservative Party members, a socially conservative, middleclass group with an average age of 60. So the pressure on Leadsom to step aside grew and grew. On Monday morning, Leadsom caved in, ensuring the last woman standing, Home Secretary Theresa May, will be the new Conservative leader and British prime minister. There will be no split in the party and there will be no three-month hiatus in British politics. May is seen as a safe pair of hands. She will have a free run in Parliament because the opposition Labour Party has a radical new leader, Jeremy Corbyn, elected a year ago by the rank and file of the Labour Party. He has never had the support of even onefifth of the party’s members of Parliament. Corbyn had always been hostile to the EU and his lacklustre campaigning for the remain side contributed to the fact fully one-third of Labour voters backed Brexit. As a result, the Parliamentary Labour Party is now in revolt against Corbyn and a senior Labour politician, Angela Eagle, is officially challenging his leadership.

t’s a bit like a Shakespeare play — specifically the final scene of Hamlet, when almost all the play’s major characters die violently. And now we’re down to one. Her name is Theresa May. It has been barely three weeks since the United Kingdom (or at least, 52 per cent of those who voted) chose to leave the European Union, but all the main Brexit leaders have already left the stage. The Conservative Party has always been notable for its ruthlessness — and leaders who threaten to split the party get short shrift. The first to go was Prime Minister David Cameron, who called the referendum expecting a pro-EU outcome would finally make the anti-EU obsessives on the right of his own party shut up. It was a needless, fatal blunder. Cameron allowed some of his own cabinet members to campaign for Brexit in the belief they would return to the fold, chastened by defeat, when the country voted stay in the ERU. Instead, the Leave campaign won and Cameron announced his resignation the morning after the referendum. However, he said he would stay in office until October to give the party time to choose a new leader. This would have involved three months of political paralysis, but it also gave Cameron time to settle his own future (he seems to be angling for a senior job with NATO). And then the slaughter started. It was generally assumed one of the proBrexit Conservative leaders would replace Cameron, most likely Boris Johnson. His presence at the head of the Brexit campaign probably gave it the million extra votes it needed for victory — but he was clearly shocked by the

Judge refuses to allow class-action lawsuit Suspect in against BC Hydro over smart meters custody after THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A judge has refused a class action lawsuit against BC Hydro over the installation of so-called smart meters. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elaine Adair said in a 36-page ruling released yesterday that the parties involved in the proposed lawsuit did not prove there was enough evidence to show the devices used to measure electricity consumption had caused common issues. The lawsuit was originally launched by Salt Spring Island resident Nomi Davis in 2013,

who said the utility company installed a smart meter at her home against her wishes and she was worried about the device’s high-frequency emissions. The yoga teacher told the court that she began to get headaches and joint aches after the smart meter was installed, and it interfered with the use and enjoyment of her home. Other BC Hydro customers joined the lawsuit, arguing that the smart meters infringed on their Charter right to life, liberty and security of person, and giving statements on how their health

Smart meters “are now a part

of our standard operating equipment.

”

— BC HYDRO STATEMENT

had been negatively affected by smart meters. The judge ruled that the claim based on liberty was bound to fail, and that there were no material facts based on the claim about the right to security of person. “There is no admissible evidence that these issues

could be resolved on a classwide basis,’’ Adair said in her decision. A statement from BC Hydro said the company is pleased with the court’s decision and will review it in detail. “Smart meters are now a part of our standard operating equipment and have been delivering benefits to BC Hydro and our customers for more than four years,’’ it said. The company has previously said that the provincial health officer, Health Canada and the World Health Organization report that smart meters pose no known health risks.

o Elmer Radies o October 19th, 1919 - June 5th, 2016

Today my world stopped as today my Dad – Elmer Radies passed away. Dad was and will always be my hero, my mentor and my best friend. He taught me everything I know about horses, the love for the animals, how to care for them, how to treat them, how to win their condence and trust. During the years we travelled to the different horse shows, he taught me always to be a good sport whether I won or lost and I worked hard and it paid off many �mes over. I learnt many things from him about life through his teachings to me about horses. Dad came from Paris, Romania when he was 9 years old. The family thought they were going to a place like Lake Louise from all the brochures they had been given, but instead they had a train ride from Montreal to an area just outside of Hanna, Alberta. There was no house, no barns and life was very very difficult for them. My grandmother’s strength saved all of them and helped them all be the terric people they turned out to be. My Dad joined the armed forces and was sta�oned in the UK for 5 years. A�er the war he came back to BC as my Grandmother had moved here. In 1948 he married my mother – Mildred Graham and they started their lives together in Kamloops. He went to work for Interior Sawmills and then opened up his own auto wrecking business which he had un�l he sold it in 1971. Dad & Mom had a gorgeous place north of Westsyde on Gilead Island. There he built his own race track complete with a star�ng gate and taught his prize winning race horse “Gilligan’s Policy” how to handle the race track. Along with his blue heeler dog – “Foxy” who loaded many horses into trailers when the people could not do so. They were a team to watch. His training made that horse a number 1 contender at most races. They spent many years there and then decided to move back closer into Kamloops as they were ge�ng older. Dad worked con�nually and always at physical types of work. No one could put up a fence like he could (no cement was ever used) and they are all standing to this day. He built many log structures and did most of the work on his own., If a job was worth doing then make sure you do it well. He taught all 3 of us how to work and to do the best job possible. No task was every le� unnished as he believed everyone should work and accomplish things in their life-�me. I can not even start to explain this man’s intelligence and how from having to leave school at an early age because his father passed away and Dad had to work to bring money in for food for the other siblings. He was self taught in so many things and well read in so many as well. Right up to the end of his life he s�ll liked to spar in conversa�ons dealing with poli�cs, etc. I can not imagine how my life will be now without him, he was such a big part of it. I loved him uncondi�onally and I was so fortunate to have had him for such a long �me. My Mom passed away in 2012 and my Dad just somehow picked up the pieces and con�nued on in his life – missing Mom so much, but s�ll working every day on any type of project he many have on the go at any given �me. He kept himself busy and hated the winters when he had to stay inside because of the cold being too much for him to handle. So he read book a�er book and always had stories to tell about different things in his life and how he saw the world through his eyes today. In my thoughts he was a genius, there was just nothing Dad could not build or repair – he just did it all. Today God received another angel in heaven and a chance for Dad to meet up again with the love of his life my Mom. I am glad to have had the chance to tell Dad how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. He was always my strength when �mes were tough and always there to share the laughter when �mes were good. He always said you can not look back and don’t live your life in the past. No one will ever replace him in my life and I Thank God he gave me this man to be my Dad as it was without a doubt the best choice in life that could have ever happened to me. During the last 2 difficult months of his life we were able to keep him at home as his wish was to die at home. But at the last we had no choice but to move him to Marjorie Willoughby Hospice and there the suffering ended a�er 9 days. I want to thank many of his friends that took the �me to see him in the rst 3 days at the hospice because a�er that he did not know anyone. A special thank you to Don Blair for your visit the day a�er I called you and for you to be able to see and speak to Dad and s�ll end up in” trouble” with Dad!! He thought the world of you and Vicky and always appreciated the li�le trips you used to take him on and the dinners you had with him. Remembering him also – Pearl & Shelley Bostock, Charlie & Madeline Bateman, Horst & Gertrude Braun, Henri & Dianne Ferber, Dave & Rosie Merryeld, Ron Hunter, Maurice & Peggy Tessier, Paul Sabyan. Of course no words can express the devo�on to Dad that Dr. Mavis Hollman had – he loved you as a friend not just his doctor. The family also wishes to Thank You for your con�nued care and compassion for both Dad and Mom. We will never forget you. The very special and compassionate nurses and care givers at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice who go beyond all levels to support both the pa�ent and the family. You are truly angels sent by God. I am glad the suffering has ended for you Dad but for me the loss is tremendous and not having you in my life now is a very difficult �me to get through. I miss you so much and the pain is unbearable. Also a special thanks to the members of my BNI Mosaic group for your compassion and kindness during the last 2 months. I truly appreciated all of you.

senior attacked THE CANADIAN PRESS

Abbotsford police say charges are pendB.C. News ing against a suspect after an 86-year-old man in a walker was attacked. Const. Ian MacDonald said the suspect followed the senior into his apartment, beat him up and left him bleeding on the floor while he took jewelry and a wallet. The victim was found 40 minutes later by his wife and was rushed to hospital. A 45-year-old man was tracked down after the victim’s credit card was used at a local business and the suspect faces charges including robbery, break-and-enter, and aggravated assault.

BRIEFS

Ex-constituency employee charged A former employee at the constituency office of a Victoria member of the legislature has appeared in court on charges of fraud, theft over $5,000 and uttering forged cheques. The Criminal Justice Branch has approved the charges against Marnie Ruth Offman for offences that are alleged to have occurred between 2009 and 2015. New Democrat Rob Fleming, who represents Victoria-Swan Lake in the house, said in a statement he made a complaint to police after learning of alleged financial irregularities in his constituency office. No dollar figure has been disclosed and none of the allegations has been tested in court.

Other cities may eye vacant home tax Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps wants the B.C. government to give her city and all other municipalities the same power as Vancouver when it comes to taxing vacant homes. The legislature will reconvene next week to consider legislative changes needed to grant that power to Vancouver. Helps said Victoria could also use a vacancy tax to target rundown, derelict homes, with 32 homes in the city “obvious starting points.’’ Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson has called for the vacant home tax as a means to encourage owners to rent out their properties to help ease the city’s housing shortage.

Sea-to-Sky Highway will get ugrades The B.C. government says $5.4 million dollars in upgrades on the Sea-to-Sky Highway will make it safer and easier to drive. About $4 million will be spent on resurfacing 5.8 kilometres of the highway from Wedgemount north towards Pemberton, with work expected to be complete later this month. Other projects include a new digital message sign to warn motorists about traffic conditions, and a speed reader board and curve warning sign in Lions Bay.

BC Ferries releases medical statistics BC Ferries says it handled 196 medical incidents at terminals and on board its ships over the last year. A release from the ferry corporation said crews and ships also completed 143 requests for assistance from the ambulance service. Those include the recent case where an entire crew was assembled for an unscheduled, late-night sailing of the Powell River Queen as ambulance crews rushed to help a patient on the Quadra Island-Campbell River route.

Calgary girl matching missing five-year-old spotted morning before mom found dead: police

TERRORISM

Canada could send troops to Africa: source

Police issued an Amber Alert for Taliyah Leigh Marsman earlier this week LAUREN KRUGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Police say a girl matching the description of a missing five-year-old was spotted about nine hours before her mother was found dead. Investigators say witnesses saw a girl who looked like Taliyah Leigh Marsman on Monday around 11:30 a.m. with a stocky, black male. They were seen in the Calgary neighbourhood where Taliyah lived with her mother, Sara Baillie, who was found dead that evening in their basement suite. Police say the sighting was near where Baillie’s vehicle was found. The girl who witnesses saw was wearing red or pink boots with white polka dots and was carrying a reddish-coloured suitcase. The Amber Alert for Taliyah was still in effect yesterday. Police have ruled Baillie’s death a homicide. Police also said footage from a closed-circuit camera shows Baillie and her daughter at a Dairy Queen around suppertime Sunday. Baillie appears to be speaking with a family. Police say they want to identify the people in the footage and have posted still photos of the exchange on the City of Calgary’s website. Taliyah’s father is begging anyone who might have information to “do the right thing.’’ Colin Marsman said in a statement yesterday that his daughter is his “light’’ and that he loves her with all his heart.

“I want to make a plea to anyone out there who knows anything about where my baby is,’’ Marsman said in the statement released to the media through his friend Gabriel Goree. “Please, it’s never too late to do the right thing. If you even think you might have seen something that could be a clue, let your local law enforcement know immediately.’’ Marsman offered his condolences to Baillie’s family. Court documents show he was charged last year with unlawful confinement and intimidation by threats against Baillie. The charges were later withdrawn and a peace bond was issued. “Those who know me best know the person and kind of father I am and know more than anything I just want my baby girl back,’’ Marsman said. “Once again, I plead for anyone knowing anything about where Taliyah is to please come forward with anything that will help get her home and back to her family.’’ Police have said Marsman is co-operating with their investigation. Goree described Marsman as a “great dad’’ who also has a son and works in construction. Marsman’s girlfriend, Jessica Mardinger, added on Facebook: “Colin is a great father. He is in so much pain right now. We need Taliyah back.’’ Wracked with sobs and struggling to walk, Tanya

I want to make a plea to anyone “out there who knows anything about where my baby is. Please, it’s never too late to do the right thing.

”

— COLIN MARSMAN, Taliyah’s father

Kruger, who is Taliyah’s godmother, stopped by their northwest Calgary home yesterday. Kruger knelt on the rainsoaked lawn, piled with flower bouquets, stuffed animals and cards. She said she met Baillie around 10 years ago working at Boston Pizza and the two became close. “She had met Colin and gotten pregnant with Taliyah and she graciously asked me to be Taliyah’s godmom and, of course, I accepted,’’ said Kruger. “Her and I spent so many good times together, with Taliyah calling me ‘auntie.’’’ Kruger said she visited with Baillie and Taliyah last weekend. “We played together, coloured together and that’s the last time I spoke with them.’’ She said she thinks whoever took Taliyah knew the little girl. “We all, and her family all, have one suspect in mind, not that I want to mention it. But that’s for the police to do their work and find out and I know that justice will be served. “If anybody knows anything about her, please, she wants to come home. She needs to come home.

OTTAWA — Containing the spread of terrorism across Africa is a consideration for Canada as it mulls where best to contribute to a UN peacekeeping mission, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said yesterday. The government has yet to make up its mind on where it will send its peacekeepers, in fulfillment of a major foreign policy priority, Sajjan said. Canada wants to have an impact wherever it deploys troops, he added, and doesn’t want to send a contingent to a specific country simply for the sake of doing so. Sources say a mission to Mali, the West African country where more than a dozen peacekeepers have been killed this year, is a serious option for the government. “Mali was definitely on the radar screen,’’ said a well-placed source with knowledge of the process, who spoke on the condition they not be named because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter. Sajjan said the need to control the spread of Islamic militants across the Middle East and Africa is part of the government’s calculation in determining where Canada’s eventual peacekeeping mission will be focused. “We can’t look at a country in isolation,’’ Sajjan said from Kuwait after visiting Canadian military personnel there and in neighbouring Iraq who are talking part in the U.S.-led coalition’s fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. “The reason I think when it comes to looking at Africa . . . you can look at various groups like Boko Haram, al-Shabaab who are trying to make a greater network with ISIL.’’ In West Africa, Boko Haram has wreaked havoc in northern Nigeria and neighbouring Chad, while al-Shabaab has used the chaos in Somalia to establish a foothold that has threatened East Africa. France is leading the current UN peacekeeping mission in Mali, which has faced threats in its north from al-Qaida and other militant groups. The 12,000-strong mission has been trying to stabilize the country after French forces drove out an al-Qaida occupation in 2012, making it one of the most dangerous peacekeeping missions on the planet.

NATIONAL NEWS ASSEMBLY OF FIRST NATIONS

Enviroment minister tells AFN traditional knowledge is key THE CANADIAN PRESS

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Traditional indigenous knowledge is vital when it comes to assessing climate impacts and resource projects, the federal environment minister insisted repeatedly yesterday in a speech to the Assembly of First Nations (AFN). Catherine McKenna’s address to the AFN’s annual meeting sounded some now-familiar Liberal government themes: Healing the relationship with Canada’s First Nations and consulting with indigenous peoples on a host of policy areas. McKenna focused much of her speech on a just-completed family vacation that took her to Haida

Gwaii and to Dene territory in the Northwest Territories. “Everyone I’ve met has shared with me why the lands are so important to them and their families,’’ she said. McKenna began her 22-minute speech by noting she was the first environment minister to address the Assembly of First Nations in at least a decade, and quite possibly ever. She asked the chiefs to get involved in ongoing public consultations over the revamping of Canada’s environmental assessment system, and promised that a pan-Canadian climate plan being developed this summer with the provinces and territories is heavy on aboriginal consultation.

OTTAWA — The last remaining threads of the years-long Senate spending saga are finally being tied up, as the final few senators who have been facing legal scrutiny suddenly find themselves walking away without facing a criminal trial. Fraud and breach of trust charges against Sen. Patrick Brazeau were withdrawn yesterday, the latest legal domino to fall in the wake of Mike Duffy’s sensational acquittal on 31 criminal charges three months ago. In May, prosecutors dropped charges against former senator Mac Harb, while the RCMP abandoned its three-year-long investigation of Pamela Wallin’s travel expenses without laying charges. And still more senators who

were swept up in the expenses scandal are set to walk away without facing criminal charges, said a Senate source who spoke on condition of anonymity. The RCMP has informed the upper chamber the force will not pursue criminal charges against any of the 30 senators named in Auditor General Michael Ferguson’s critical review of Senate spending, said the source, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, The remaining two files are to be closed in the coming weeks, said the source, who would not confirm the identities of the senators in question. The smoldering ruins of what was once a raging political scandal on Parliament Hill has left many in the upper chamber wondering what was gained from all the money and time

spent on sifting through thousands of expense claims. “Quite frankly, it’s a big waste of money,’’ Brazeau’s lawyer Christian Deslauriers said outside the Ottawa courthouse yesterday. “There were a lot of resources that were put on this for no reason and, quite frankly, this destroyed Mr. Brazeau for three years now. He’s been having a hard time with this.’’ Deslauriers said Brazeau was considering his options, which include taking the Mounties to court. Brazeau did not attend yesterday’s brief hearing in person, although he did express himself on Twitter shortly after the charges were dropped. “I wouldn’t wish false accusations on my worst enemy,’’ Brazeau tweeted. “It almost ruined my life.”

Crown drops expense charges against Brazeau

TORONTO — Before making international headlines for altering the O Canada lyrics to include the controversial statement “all lives matter,’’ social media followers of Remigio Pereira were well aware of his outspoken opinions. Unverified Facebook and Instagram accounts attributed to the Tenors singer regularly included posts that went beyond matters of music, including messages about veganism, nature, spirituality, world peace and animal rights. While singing the anthem with his fellow Tenors at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in San Diego on Tuesday night, Pereira changed the lyrics “With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the True North strong and free,’’ to “We’re all brothers and sisters, all lives matter to the great.’’ He also held up a sign bearing the message “all lives matter’’ on one side and “united we stand’’ on the other. The accounts under Pereira’s name regularly made use of the “all lives matter’’’ statement as a hashtag on various social media posts. They also shared articles and opinions on the Flat Earth movement, minds being

“manipulated and with widespread destroyed via GMO derision of Pereira’s poisonous foods,’’ unanticipated and “chemical move. spraying of our The other three skies.’’ Tenor members A Facebook post posted a statement dated April 9 asked on their social users who dismedia accounts agreed with what distancing themthey were reading selves from to “refrain from Pereira, whom contacting my famthey said acted as PEREIRA ily members with a “lone wolf’’ and your qualms’’ and also made expressed shock and embarrassit clear the opinions were not ment by his actions in changing shared by the other Tenors. the lyrics of their “treasured “This is a platform and a anthem.’’ forum for discussion and I have Pereira appeared to share a a right to speak my mind on post of his own after the incident issues that I feel affect us all in an effort to explain his moti. . . as do you,’’ a portion of the vations. post reads. “I would hope you “I’ve been so moved lately all do some research and do it by the tragic loss of life and thoroughly and then leave your I hoped for a positive statethoughts on the issues raised. ment that would bring us ALL “I’m putting my neck on the together.

COOK THEM YOURSELF

Lighten up barbecue classic KATIE WORKMAN

Asian burgers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

n grilling season, there’s probably no food more popular than burgers. And, while many kinds of burgers have become mainstream — from turkey to tuna to vegetarian — beef remains king. But what if you could have the taste and juiciness of beef while cutting back on a bit of the fat? The answer: Add in some mushrooms. When chopped, mushrooms (either cooked or raw) have a similar texture to ground meat and blend right in. It’s a nice way to lighten up a summertime staple. And then there’s ponzu sauce, with which I’ve recently become a little besotted. Ponzu is a citrus-based sauce used often in Japanese cooking. It is salty and tangy, made from vinegar, mirin (a low-alcohol rice wine), seaweed and fish flakes (please, don’t be turned off) and it has just a wonderful flavour. The citrus most commonly added is either juice or zest from yuzu or sudachi, two fruits from East Asia. Ponzu sauce is often drizzled over foods for a finishing touch or used as a dip, but here it’s blended into the meat and mushrooms for yet another layer of umami (Japanese for savory). Both ponzu sauce and wasabi paste (or wasabi powder, which can be blended with water to make a paste) are available at Asian markets and in the Asian aisle of wellstocked supermarkets. For these burgers, the wasabi mayo is optional. They also would be great with ketchup or mustard, and of course lettuce, onion and tomato. A last cooking tip: Chilling the burgers before grilling them helps them hold their shape. They also are great seared in a pan and hold together even better.

Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 6 burgers INGREDIENTS: 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 lb. shiitake or baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced Kosher or coarse salt and Freshly ground pepper to taste 3 tbsp. ponzu sauce, plus more for brushing 2 large eggs 2 tsp. minced garlic 4 tsp. grated ginger 2 lbs. ground beef 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tsp wasabi paste or to taste 6 hamburger buns Lettuce Sliced tomatoes Sliced onions DIRECTIONS: 1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add mushrooms to skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until mushrooms release liquid, it evaporates and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes in all. Transfer mushrooms to a plate and cool to room temperature. 2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, ponzu sauce, garlic and ginger. Finely chop the cooled mushrooms and add them with the beef to the bowl. Gently mix with hands until well combined. 3. Form mixture into six patties and use thumbs to make

slight indentations in the centre of each burger. Refrigerate burgers at least an hour, preferably two or three, to let them firm up. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the wasabi paste. Adjust the level of heat to taste, adding more mayo or wasabi as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 4. Preheat grill to medium high. Grill burgers for four to five minutes on each side, turning them carefully with a large spatula until they are done. Alternatively, heat a large, nonstick pan over medium high heat and sear burgers four to five minutes on each side. Brush tops lightly with additional ponzu sauce. Serve on the buns (toasted if you wish) with the wasabi cream, lettuce, tomatoes, onions or other preferred toppings.

Grapes come home to roost

nly in Kamloops would urban hens and wine actually relate to each other well enough to write about. Because at least one of these pesky local issues drew to a close this month, I thought I would review a BC VQA wine to celebrate. In honour of our new feathered city dwellers, I purchased a bottle of Red BONNIE Rooster’s 2014 Hen House Sly White. MCBRIDE The bottle sells for less than $13 Sips in the exclusively at BC Liquor Stores. It CITY won’t help to shop around. The lightly coloured white blend is a mix of four grapes: chardonnay, pinot blanc, pinot gris and riesling. I tasted the 2014 version of this blend. Some wines have a year on them and some do not. If there is no year on the label, you will probably get the same experience no matter when you purchase the bottle. It will taste predictable in 2010 and in 2018. However, if you like a 2013 pinot gris and you buy the 2015 later this year, you could be in for a whole new wine. That’s another topic for another day. The wine did not disappoint. I was looking for a white with enough structure and character to stand out with our dinner. This blend had good body, or weight, which helps. Not up on wine terms? Think sip of water for light body and sip of fresh squeezed orange juice for more body. It’s not about thickness, but flavour density. It smells fruity and sweet — and the blend is sweet, with a rating of 02. Normally, I only drink dry wine with dinner, but this paired well with burgers and fries. In terms of flavour, it wasn’t as crisp as I like, which is due to being on the sweeter side. But, since I have trouble finding a fullbodied white from B.C. that isn’t oaked, I was willing to overlook the lack of grassy or green notes our B.C. wines do so well. We make fresh wine, guys — we should embrace it. What it lacked in quick acidity, it gained back in a good finish. Again, if you don’t know what finish is, think aftertaste, but classier. Good wine is a before, during and after experience. It went great with burgers and would go well with pasta and white sauce or seafood, too. I would steer clear of sweeter fare, since this wine is already on the sweet side. If we had a sweet barbecue sauce, I may have been less impressed. Now, to kick it up a notch, this vineyard has a treat for you. Check out its ‘Adopt-a-Row’ program, which allows you to be part of the winery’s annual grape pruning and harvesting. Then, as part of your adoption, you get to take home a mixed case which includes grapes you helped tend. That’s an experience even sweeter than the wine. The results of this vote are in and it’s all in favour of buying this blend again and again. Bonnie McBride is a local wine blogger. For more, go online to sipsinthecity.wordpress.com.

KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

MUNICH — It has only been two model years since Audi introduced the last A3 and S3 models. They were a major step forward for Audi with an advanced platform shared with VW’s Golf family of cars. This platform, called MQB, delivers a stiff chassis to which a highly capable and refined suspension and all-wheel drive system is bolted. In addition, the interior made a major step forward in terms of design and sophistication. The reason we will be getting a refreshed A3 and S3 later this summer is due to the fact the European cars were actually sold a year or more before they were here, so we get the pleasure of a refreshed car sooner.

A27

Verdict

Cars that are equipped with the new traffic jam assist with autonomous steering, braking and acceleration up to 60 km/h will feel like driving a spaceship, according to Zack Spencer.

LED headlamp technology (the LED headlamps come standard on the S3). In addition, the front bumper has been updated to include larger air intakes and around the back, there is a new rear bumper along with an updated rear air diffuser. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 19 inches on the A3 and 18 or 19 inches on the S3. The A3 and S3 are the smallest cars in the Audi family available here but they project a larger than life attitude that makes them look loftier and they certainly don’t look basic in any way.

Inside

The inside of the A3 and S3 was already a study in how to do a small luxury car well. The materials were first rate and the layout simple but classy at the same time. For 2017, Audi has invested in more upscale materials, a new steering wheel and most importantly an available virtual cockpit. Available only on the top Technik versions of both the A3 and S3, this is a 31centimetre screen behind the steering wheel that replaces the analog dials found in the lower versions. As the name suggests,

it is virtual, meaning the driver can select the look and readout depending on the task. While using the navigation system, the entire screen can be used as a map, with turn-by-turn information. It really does look futuristic and upscale but it is too bad only the top trim has this feature. The regular dash is pleasing and all models still come with a centre 14.7-centimetre screen for all other basic driver needs and available navigation.

Drive

The way the existing A3 and S3 drive is nothing to

complain about and in the case of the S3 Audi didn’t change anything to do with the engine or transmission. It still has a potent 2.0litre turbocharged engine with a healthy 292 h.p. and a six-speed dual clutch transmission. The A3, however, gets some nice updates. Gone is the base 1.8-litre fourcylinder, replaced by a very good 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that puts out 186 h.p. This engine is only offered on the base front wheel drive model and is unique because it is the only version to also get a new seven-speed dual

In total, the updates to the A3 and S3 can be seen as minor on some levels but significant on others. For example, if the buyer chooses the virtual cockpit, this is a major update, the cars without this look similar to the current cars. Cars that are equipped with the new traffic jam assist with autonomous steering, braking and acceleration, up to 60 km/h, will feel like driving a spaceship, the cars without will still require the driver to do the work. The new base model will probably sell better now due to a vastly improved 2.0-litre engine and sevenspeed automatic that was engaging and rather fun to drive. Pricing for the A3 and S3 has not been confirmed but, due to a highly competitive sales environment, expect the list price to stay very close to the existing model.

Chinese auto sales rise in first half of 2016 as demand for SUVs surges About 11 million passenger vehicles were sold in the January to June period, according to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. That’s 9.2 per cent more than the same period last year. Total vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, rose 8.1 per cent to 12.8 million, the group said. The surging popularity of SUVs among Chinese drivers has helped prop up industry sales growth after a slump last year. Cheaper Chinesemade SUVs have also helped domestic brands claw back market share from foreign auto brands that have long dominated the country’s automotive market. For June, total passenger vehicle sales jumped 17.7 per cent from the year before to 1.8 million. SUV sales surged 41 per cent to 632,000.

Chinese SUV sales rose 62 per cent to 347,000 and accounted for more than half of total SUV sales. Sales of U.S.-brand cars rose slightly in June, while sales of Japanese, German and other foreign brands slipped, the association said.

D-Box motion seats (above) were recently added to the Cineplex Odeon at Aberdeen Mall, part of 83 UltraAVX theatres that have opened across the country.

Seats that bump, bounce and weave KTW’s Dale Bass checked out a new interactive movie-going experience DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

hursday afternoon assignment — go to the movies. Ah, the perks of being an entertainment reporter. I’m not much of a moviegoing person, preferring to wait and watch new releases when they’re, well, not so new and available somewhere on the 57 channels at home. The goal, however, was not so much to take in the sequel to Independence Day as it was to try out the new auditorium and special seats at the Cineplex Odeon at Aberdeen Mall. It’s all part of a new program the theatre company is rolling out across the country, creating what it calls UltraAVX theatres with a few rows of D-Box motion seats. Yes, motion seats. Seats that move. That bump and bounce and weave and

do what they can to make the viewer not just watch the flick but feel like they’re part of it. At first, the constant jiggling and weaving was simply a distraction. There was nothing linking the movement to the scenes on the silver screen, perhaps because it was early in the film and there was more set-up-the-story than actual action. It’s a new feature introduced by Cineplex across the country, with 83 UltraAVX theatres now open and more to come throughout the year. They were created to enhance the movie-going experience with a wall-to-wall screen, ultra high-definition digital projection, improved Dolby surround sound — and those rocker seats that can be reserved in advance. But, given the introductory film linked to the seats was Independence Day: Resurgence, there was hope Jeff Goldblum et al would stop talking about aliens soon

and start fighting. That’s when the seats started to make some sense to this movie-goer who can remember when a quarter would get you in to see Robinson Crusoe on Mars or The Moon-Spinners. Goldblum, his pop and a re-energized ex-president — yes, there were familiar faces in this sequel — ended up in some major battles between humans and aliens, each equipped with whizzing spaceships and blasters that would leave Han Solo jealous. It was during those scenes the seats — and the sound and screen — started to show their strengths. Yes, there was one moment of queasiness, no doubt brought on by pushing the plus button several times, which enhanced the swerving, swooping and bumping of the seat. And, during the scenes meant to make the viewer feel like they were sitting in the spaceship cockpits, the visual and

the physical seemed to work in sync. The slogan for the Quebec company D-Box Technologies is Move the World, something its creations do outside movie theatres, as the seats are used in other industries including racing and flight simulation, casinos, industrial simulation, arcades and therapeutic centres. There’s an extra cost for the theatre and the seats. General admission for the UltraAVX theatre is $15.99; for children three to 13, it’s $12.50; and for seniors 65 and older, it’s $12.99. That compares to regular general admission prices of $10.99, $7.50 and $7.99. For the D-Box seats, the rates rise to $21.99 general admission, $18.50 for children and $18.99 for seniors. This week, the featured film in the UltraAVX theatre is The Legend of Tarzan. The Secret Life of Pets is also in the UltraAVX theatre but the seats won’t be rocking and rolling. I guess pets don’t generate the kind of action required

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part II What many prospective borrowers don’t realize is that the pricing of mortgages and other loans is based in part on their creditworthiness, and a person’s credit score is the established measure for credit-worthiness. People with a lower credit score can find themselves paying a higher interest rate, or denied access to certain types of loans. The good news is that by taking a few basic precautions, prospective borrowers can protect their credit report and credit score, and increase their access to better rates and a better choice of mortgage products. Do you understand the difference between your credit report and your credit score? A credit report is a detailed history of how consistently you meet your financial obligations and provides a picture of your financial health based on your past behaviour. A credit score is an objective summary that translates personal information from your credit report and other sources into a three-digit number representing your overall credit-worthiness. Both your credit report and score are important. When deciding whether or not to grant a mortgage loan, lenders refer to an applicant’s credit report and score, along with a range of other factors such as income, employment history, and down payment size. Generally, a credit score uses your past credit history to help predict how you might manage your credit in the future. The credit score used most often by Canadian lenders is the FICO score (developed by the Fair Isaac Co.), which is a number between 0 and 900. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be approved for a mortgage and receive favourable rates because the lender considers you to be a better credit risk. Several factors are used by the two credit agencies in Canada (Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada) to calculate credit scores: • Debt payment history. • Amounts owed compared to your current credit limits with lenders. • How often you seek new credit. • Length of time you have had credit accounts. • Type of credit, such as car loans, lines of credit, credit cards, finance company loans. • Recent new credit or cancelled cards Fortunately, there are a number of steps that consumers can take to keep their credit report and credit score healthy: Pay your debts on time – always meet due dates. Do not ignore unpaid bills. Borrow only the amount you can afford to repay. Numerous inquiries for your credit report can sometimes worsen your score. If someone is seeking a new credit card, furniture and department store loans then their credit score will be adversely affected. However, multiple inquiries within a 14 day period for car or mortgage loans have less effect. Reviewing your own credit file regularly to stay informed about the details on your file. For more information and advice on credit scores and home buying, please contact me via phone at 250-682-6077, or by e-mail at steve.bucher@migroup.ca, or visit www.mortgagebuilder.ca.

Chase skate park a finalist in nationwide funding contest The skate park in Chase is one of four projects nationwide vying for $250,000 in upgrades in the Kraft Heinz Project Play — and online votes will determine a winner. The contest this year had a record 820 nominations from people across Canada looking to find funding to complete infrastructure upgrades. The winning project will receive a quarter-million dollars, while the three remaining finalists will get $20,000 each. The Chase and District Skate Park is up against projects in Kenora, Ont., Cantley, Que., and Mount Pearl, N.L. Canadians can vote for the winner online at KraftHeinzProjectPlay.com beginning on Monday, July 25, at 9 a.m. local time and continuing until Tuesday, July 26, at 9 p.m. local time. The grand prize winner will be announced on

TSN on Thursday, Aug. 4. The final four community projects were selected by a judging panel that evaluated each nomination based on the following criteria: the community’s passion and spirit, how the prize money would be used and overall creativity and effort of the entry. This year’s top four finalists were revealed by Kraft Heinz Project Play ambassador, TSN’s James Duthie, during the July 8 CFL broadcast between Calgary and Ottawa. “A big congratulations to the final four communities and a hat tip to all the folks who submitted a nomination on behalf of the communities they love,” Duthie said. “It’s awesome to see so many Canadians agree that places to play are the cornerstones of our communities.”

DINNER AT THE LAKE

KTW reader Marji Sagrus captured this interesting nature scene at Paul Lake: an osprey catching dinner for the little one on the back. If you have photos from the community you wish to share with KTW readers, email them to editor@kamloops thisweek.com.

The agapostemon will be the focus of a weekend three-day workshop hosted by the Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners and Thompson Rivers University. Not sure what that is? The creature can be found in most gardens, identifiable by its green iridescent body and known to most as a sweat bee. Lincoln Best, who has studied bees extensively will lead the workshop, which will include two days in a lab at the university and one field day collecting, identifying and photographing bees in the area. The studying begins tomorrow (July 15) and continues to Sunday. Registration is $145 and participants should have Bumble Bees of North America and The Bees in Your Back Yard, books that will be referred to throughout the workshop.

North Okanagan has its elephant ROSIE, A 46-YEAR-OLD RESIDENT OF TENNESSEE, HAS BEEN ‘ADOPTED’ BY VERNONITES KATHERINE MORTIMER

SPECIAL TO KTW

lifestyles@vernonmorningstar.com

hil Lambert takes animal welfare seriously, from his four dogs to his latest “pet,” Rosie, an African elephant who now lives at The Elephant Sanctuary (TES) in Tennessee. Thanks to donations from customers, sale of Rosie-themed merchandise and a special blend of coffee, the owner of The Bean Scene Coffee House in Vernon is raising $1,000 every week for the care of the 46-year-old elephant. “Friends of mine have said, and have gently lectured me, that if you’re going to do this stuff, you’ve got to bring her out in the

public — and they’re right. I hate the exposure, but I want to do what I can for Rosie,” Lambert said. Rosie was captured from the wild in 1971 and brought to the U.S., where she lived in several Florida facilities. She moved to the zoo in Jackson, Miss., in 1977 at the age of six. Juno, an African female, joined her in 1982. Rosie and Juno lived together at the Jackson Zoo until 2010, when they were transferred to the Nashville Zoo. There, they joined Hadari and Sukari. Juno died last year. Hadari, Sukari and Rosie were retired to The Elephant Sanctuary (TES) last fall. “Customers ask me if we can see them, but you can’t, although

Rosie, 46, was captured from the wild in Africa as a youngster, spent her life in zoos and is now living at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee.

you can go to the TES website and see videos of the elephants,” Lambert said. “She was incarcerated and now they are just there to live and to be elephants. “I can’t imagine what it was like to be ripped from their

mothers at the age of one. Elephants will mourn the loss of someone for two years — they’ve got such immense ties with other elephants and with family.” At TES, Rosie continues to share space with Sukari. The duo will nap together at night, spend time side by side and walk around the yard together during the day. Rosie is the elephant at the Africa barn that requires the most care and attention. She has had a variety of health problems, including lameness in her front right leg and abscesses in her nails. “She is allowed to roam free on 2,700 acres,” said Lambert. “She does have a barn stall, but she’s not forced into it.” Founded in 1995, TES provides a haven for old, sick or needy elephants in a setting of green pastures, dense forests, spring-fed ponds and heated barns for cold

winter nights. The non-profit organization is designed specifically for elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses. Lambert jokes he has loved animals since he left his mother’s womb, but his fascination with elephants took root in 1991, when he flew to Africa and visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage outside of Nairobi. “And throw in Discovery Channel, National Geographic and watching and reading about elephants where I became fascinated. I got involved financially and decided to bring it closer to home and come out of the elephant closet, so to speak,” he said. When Lambert found out about TES, he contacted CEO Janice Zeitlin. “She is a lovely, down-to-earth woman and I told her we want to ‘adopt’ an elephant, but we want your most challenged elephant,”

he said. “Shirley is 67 and very popular; there is lots of money going to her, which is great, but Rosie has the most challenges. “She is very small for an African, just shy of a mini-van, and only weighs 7,400 pounds. She should be up around the 10,000 mark. She doesn’t have tusks. She has two holes in her ear, where they stuck meat hooks in to steer her around.” Lambert has been involved with causes that are close to his heart for as long as he can remember, in particular the North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society for the past 21 years. “I’m a huge animal advocate and elephants are very sentient beings and just because they can’t speak English doesn’t mean they don’t speak a language — and it’s up to us to recognize it. “I’m surprised by the support I’ve had. I get so caught up in my causes and I’m passionate about this.” A recent gift for Rosie was an unusual one: a rototiller. Lambert explains that a foot of sand was placed in Rosie’s stall to make it more comfortable for her. “I got a phone call asking if they could buy Rosie a rototiller to fluff up her stall.

“She will turn that sand into concrete, so they got a really good one and they can fluff up her sand for her.” Lambert has come up with a wide range of ideas to raise money for Rosie, including Rosie T-shirts, tote bags and pens hand-crafted from wood. As well, $2 from the sale of a cup of Rosie lemonade goes to her care, while 1609 Restaurant and Lounge at Silver Star is making a granola bar for the project. “We buy them for $1.98 and sell them for $3.95 and two bucks of every bar goes to Rosie. We don’t make a penny,” Lambert said. Wednesday is Rosie Wednesday: buy a short dark cup of the Rosie roast for $2 and every penny is given to her. Lambert is enthusiastic about the sanctuary’s education program, which uses an elephant-cam to allow classes to “visit’ the elephants. “This is something I want to do here. It is in its infancy at this point but I’m working on it,” he said. “It’s all about education — prejudice comes from a lack of education. It’s up to me and us to educate people. “A customer asked me how long I’m going to do this for and I said ‘til Rosie dies, ‘til I die or I lose my lease.” For more information about TES or to donate directly to Rosie or any of the other elephants, go online to elephants.com.

PROVINCIAL VIEWS

Another friend of the Liberals gets appointed FRANK CARSON IS THE NEW CHAIR OF BC TRANSIT BOARD

Integrity

nother vacancy in a public boardroom and another B.C. Liberal Party supporter ready and willing to fill it. News that Frank Carson — a partner at Victoria law firm Cox, Taylor — was appointed chair of B.C. Transit’s board of directors last week was met with the expected cynicism. Carson has been described as wellconnected to the B.C. Liberals. His wife is executive director of the B.C. Liberal caucus. One upside with his new post is he can comfortably talk shop with sympathetic colleagues at the office. Four of the other 13 lawyers at Cox, Taylor are also recipients of B.C. government appointments. What are the odds? Given there are likely thousands of qualified

director of communications for B.C. LNG Alliance, a former CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’s Association of B.C., a cross-border tax consultant and four property developers. Seven of the 58 have a background in health care. These are not titular positions. Under the Hospital Act, the boards are “ultimately responsible for approving physician privileges.” As a 2012 KPMG report for the B.C. health ministry pointed out: “Although boards receive reports and approve privileges, most directors noted that they had to have a high level of trust that the processes within the authority were being followed . . . [but] there is little evidence, by way of audit or similar routine checks, to give boards comfort that these processes have been followed.” With three seats on the Real Estate Council of B.C., you would have thought the government might have heard about issues in the industry before they read about them in the morning newspapers. Not all the boards are stacked, likely more by legislative necessity

than desire. The Organized Crime Agency of B.C. is bereft of donors. Others are entirely overseen by senior public employees, such as the B.C. Immigrant Investment Fund. And some boards have highly qualified individuals in the right role. But too many are stacked. The potential check and balance they could provide falls by the wayside. By appointing a majority of the boards of governors of colleges and universities in the province, the government is in the odd position of both allocating budgets and having the ultimate say on how they are spent. There are some odd matches among the appointments. Perhaps it was an attempt at dark humour to appoint a coroner to the B.C. Agricultural Land Commission, albeit a coroner with dairy experience?

the government “While may be short of

prospective candidates, it’s not short of boards. It’s a patronage trough. Seats on the boards of more than 300 public agencies are available as rewards for a B.C. Liberal donor or friend of government.

Lottery Corporation, PAVCO, the province’s six health authorities, the Vancouver Police Board, three universities and two airport authorities — at least 166 of the 248 board members are party donors or FOGs. Vancouver’s police board has nine members, seven of whom are appointed by the government. Six are donors. Nine of the 13 members who make up the Order of B.C. advisory committee and the Medal of Good Citizenship committee are donors.

The B.C. government has announced $1.5 million in new funding for a program

aggression, anti-social behaviour, defiance and substance abuse. “It is very positive. It is clear . . . It truly is life-changing,” said Paula Littlejohn, a mother of two from Victoria. She was referred to the program last year by her doctor to get help dealing with her son, William, who has a severe learning disability and ADHD. Littlejohn said getting her son ready for school or bedtime was a huge struggle, but she learned ways to give mild consequences for negative behaviour and support for positive behaviour. “I have a more positive relationship [with my son],” she said. “William is able to use those skills with me.” Four of five parents who took part in the program said they saw an improvement in their child’s behaviour, the mental health association said, and reported feeling more confident in their parenting and coping skills. Bev Gutray, CEO of the association’s B.C. arm, said the program is particularly effective because it focuses on early intervention and prevention. “We will see the benefits from this program years from now,” she said. “Parents are committed to the health of their children. They are signing up for the full 14 weeks and that tells us how motivated parents are.” She hopes the government will eventually grant the funding every year, especially with 200 families on the waitlist. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will monitor the success of the program over time. “It’s one of the things we’re doing in our cross-government mental-health strategy,” Cadieux said. “We don’t know yet about next year, but certainly this is a program we believe has great potential.”

KAMLOOPS’ PETER FINDLAY FINISHES 19TH KNEE KNACKER TRAIL RUN ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

eter Findlay’s windshield wipers struggled to keep up with the rain that morning. As he drove toward the start line of the 2016 Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run in West Vancouver at 5 a.m. on Saturday morning, the Kamloops native knew he was in for a day battling the elements. In the three hours before the 6 a.m. start, 28.4 millimetres of rain fell on Mt. Strachan, 80 per cent of the 35.6mm average for all of July.

Creek beds normally centimetres deep flowed knee high and higher, water cascaded down staircases and pooled on trails.

In 18 previous completions of the 30-mile (48.6km) race, Findlay had never seen anything like this. “Anybody I talked to, the locals, they said they’d never seen the torrent of water that was on the course that we experienced Saturday morning,” Findlay told KTW from North Vancouver. “I was delighted [with my race], given the conditions.” The rain only made one of Canada’s toughest trail races even harder.

trail. Racers gain more than 8,000 feet (2,400 metres) of elevation along the run for a total gain of nearly 16,000 feet (4,800m). They have a total of 10 hours to complete the course. The 57-year-old finished first in his age group (50-59 years old) that morning, crossing the finish line in five hours, 45 minutes and 52 seconds. He was tenth overall in the 221-person race. Findlay is no stranger to success at the Knee Knacker. Having now completed the race 19 times, he won the event each of his first five years. He set the course record in

Their BC Soccer Provincial A Cup ended in crushing fashion. The only Kamloops club to play for gold in the tournament in Burnaby, the Blaze under-18 boys watched a 1-0 lead evaporate in their championship match against the Burnaby District Metro Soccer Lakers, falling 2-1 and settling for silver. It was an own goal that started the fall for Kamloops. The marker swung the momentum in favour of a talented Burnaby club, which had mopped the floor with its competition in two of its three round-robin contests. The Blaze went into the gold-medal game with a 1-1-1 record, tying Surrey’s Central City Breakers Elite and defeating a club from Juan De Fuca and Sooke, but losing to the Lakers. “A big heartbreaker for our U18 boys,” Ciaran McMahon, the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s technical director, told KTW. McMahon was in Burnaby, taking in the action. “We just couldn’t recover.” The tournament featured boys’ and girls’ teams in U13, U14, U15, U16 and U18 divisions. Four clubs — one representing the Interior, one from the Island and two from the Lower Mainland — squared off in three round-robin matches before advancing to Sunday’s medal round. Five Blaze clubs attended the Provincial Cup — U15 and U18 boys’ and U14, U15 and U16 girls’. Kamloops’ other boys club also lost in crushing fashion on Sunday. The U15 club went to penalty kicks with Vancouver Island’s Bays United/ Peninsula club. The Blaze lost 5-4, finishing the Provincial Cup in fourth. “They’ve had a challenging previous two years at the Provincial Cup — this was their best showing yet,” McMahon said. “They’ve really shown some improvement over the last little while.” Meanwhile, Kamloops’ U14 and U16 girls’ clubs finished the tournament winless. The U15 club picked up a single win, but lost 2-0 in its bronzemedal game against Richmond Football Club.

Angie Rose didn’t reveal her results at the World Armwrestling League Championships in Las Vegas last month, saving the news for an ESPN special that will air in August.

Rose quiet on WAL results MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Angie Rose mixed it up with some of the best arm wrestlers in North America, but mum is the word when it comes to results. The nurse from Kamloops qualified to compete at the World Armwrestling League (WAL) Championships in Las Vegas in June, an event covered by ESPN for a special that will air on Aug. 16. Competitors were asked to keep quiet if contacted by media about their results, but Rose offered a few tidbits on what happened in Sin City. “I beat a couple of big-name pullers,” said Rose, who was pulling in the women’s 129- to 148-pound right- and left-arm divisions. “That’s a place you cannot afford to make any

mistakes. It’s very unforgiving because of the high calibre of pulling. You’ve got the best in North America and there was some Europeans there, too.” Rose advanced to the WAL finals by faring well at qualifying events in Red Deer and Chicago earlier this year, placing and winning money in both rightarm and left-arm categories. More recently, Rose had an outstanding Canada Day long weekend in Saskatoon, winning five medals at the National Armwrestling Championships. She won four gold medals — in the women’s open 70-kilogram and masters’ (40-andover) right- and left-arm divisions — and one bronze medal, in the women’s 80-kg left-arm division. There could have been more hardware, but injury kept her from pulling in the women’s open 80-kg right-arm division.

“I pulled out because my elbow was sore,” Rose said. “I had pulled in WAL the week before. I was feeling the wear and tear.” Placing in the top two at nationals earned Rose exemption to the Arnold Classic Armwrestling Challenge in March in Ohio. Rose is also contemplating a trip to Bulgaria for the World Armwrestling Championships in October, but might need sponsorship help to get there. As part of the Aug. 16 special, ESPN is running a feature on the women’s WAL finals in Las Vegas and Rose is expecting to see herself on TV, alongside some of the sport’s stars, including cast members of AMC reality show Game of Arms. “It was amazing,” Rose said. “All the big guns were there, the biggest names in armwrestling in North America.”

Classics seventh in Saanich The Kamloops Classic Swimming club captured 15 medals — four gold, eight silver and three bronze — at the 2016 Swim BC AAA Provincial Swimming Championships in Saanich. The Classics finished seventh in the meet, which included 780 swimmers and 50 teams. Nineteen of Kamloops’ 25 swimmers in attendance qualified for second swims at the event. Megan Dalke led the way for the Classics, winning a gold medal in the 400-metre freestyle and silvers in the

800m freestyle and 200m butterfly. Dalke’s 200m butterfly time (2:19.44) was a new club record. Makena Sutherland won a bronze medal in the 50m butterfly, while Eloise Ladyman captured gold in the 50m backstroke and silver in the 100m backstroke. Riley McRae won gold in both the 50m and 100m butterfly. Michael Dagasso won three silver medals, finishing second in the 50m and 100m freestyles and the 50m butterfly. Sarah Koopmans won silver

in the 50m butterfly and bronze in the 50m breaststroke and 100m butterfly. Ethan Jensen grabbed a silver medal in the 100m butterfly. Also at the meet, Kieran Waterous, Jack Savage and Jackson Litke achieved qualifying standards for the Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships, which will take place in Calgary at the end of July. Colin Gilbert also set a new club record at the championship in Saanich, finishing the 400m individual medley in 4:40.40.

It’s the race’s prestige, its notoriety and its deep history that keeps the Sa-Hali secondary teacher coming back year after year. “In 1989 when it started, it was really the benchmark 50K ultra trail run in Canada,” Findlay said. It was a time when ultra marathons weren’t nearly as common as they are today. “When they billed it as ‘Canada’s knarliest 50-kilometre trail run,’ that stands today.” In 19 races, he has never flirted with the six-hour mark. Findlay was the 22nd person to ever complete the Knee Knacker 10 times and will join even more exclusive company when he completes his 20th next year. “He is one of the most accomplished athletes around and his longevity is incredible,” said Kelsy Trigg, an 11-time finisher of the Knee Knacker and in her 12th year as race director. “He continues to be competitive at the highest levels,” she continued. “He’s a legend and he’s one of the nicest guys around.” When the Knee Knacker was established in 1989, it fielded eight racers. Findlay ran the race for the first time the next year, before setting his course record in 1991, two weeks after a

record-setting performance at the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. He finished third in the 242-person field in California that year with a time of 17:02:59 He became the first Canadian to finish in the race’s top 10 and the first out-of-state runner inside the top three — records that stood for roughly two decades. Findlay learned years later, his combined times from the Knee Knacker and Western States 100-Miler in 1991 — 21:48:10 — is a benchmark professional ultra runners were trying to match. They were calling it “Peter’s doubleheader.” “It was an extraordinary year,” he said. Findlay is well known within the Kamloops sporting community. He has twice been named the Kamloops Sports Council’s Master Athlete of the Year. He was inducted into the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. He has countless trophies from his cross-country skiing and mountain biking careers. But when he crosses the finish line of the Knee Knacker for the 20th time next year, that will be something altogether different. “Give me 20. I hope I can do a 20th and then, if my legs and body are still holding up, I wouldn’t mind being able to continue,” Findlay said. “I think that will be special.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS

George McPhee has been tabbed as the first general manager of the NHL’s expansion Las Vegas franchise and he hopes to build an entertaining team that can compete sooner rather than later. Owner Bill Foley picked McPhee out of seven candidates based on his extensive experience. It’s up to McPhee to build Las Vegas from scratch when it begins play in 20172018, a task he knows won’t be easy. “Our mission here is clear: We’re going to build an organization and a team that people in Nevada and Las Vegas will be proud of and we’re going to do it quickly and we’re aiming at the Stanley Cup,’’ McPhee said yesterday. “It’s that simple.’’ McPhee most recently served as special adviser to New York Islanders GM Garth Snow and, before that, spent 16 seasons as GM of the Washington Capitals. As the Capitals’ GM, he oversaw a complete rebuild around star winger Alex Ovechkin that led to the team making six consecutive playoff appearances before he was fired in 2014.

PATRICK McDERMOTT

George McPhee has been named the GM of Las Vegas’ NHL franchise.

“He took Washington from being a team that was scrambling and sort of turned it around, so I think that experience will be a big plus,’’ said Doug MacLean, who was the Columbus Blue Jackets’ GM when they entered the league in 2000. “I think it’s a real good fit.’’ McPhee has a strong history of drafting and developing players, and his extensive NHL experience earned him the position over younger candidates. Foley said McPhee got the nod over two other finalists

because of his communication skills. Foley said he wanted a GM who was focused, dedicated and had a “take-no-prisoner’’ attitude. It also helps they got along from the first conversation. “We all want to win, and he’s going to win for us, but I like to have people that I really get along with and that I can communicate with,’’ Foley said. “We had great candidates, they were all good. I just felt there was a little something extra with George.’’

Court rejects Brady appeal LARRY NEUMEISTER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court has rejected Tom Brady’s attempt to get a new hearing on his “Deflategate’’ suspension. Brady was asking for the full 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case. In April, a three-judge panel said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was within his powers when he suspended the star quarterback four games for his role in a scheme to doctor the footballs used in a Jan. 18, 2015, playoff game. The decision yesterday

affirms the wide-ranging powers given to the commissioner by the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement and was a setback for organized labour groups arguing for due process in employee discipline. Brady’s remaining hope is to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Patriots open the season Sept. 11 at Arizona. If Brady is suspended, backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would take his place. What began as an accusation of cheating in the 2015 AFC championship game has grown into a multimillion-dollar legal

battle over three NFL seasons, involving not just an MVP quarterback but also some of the elite lawyers and scientists in the country. At stake for the Patriots is not only the availability of their quarterback for a quarter of the season, but their legacy as an NFL dynasty. Already convicted once of cheating by Goodell — in an illegal videotaping scheme in 2007 that predictably came to be known as “SpyGate’’ — the Patriots saw the suspension as an attack on their legitimacy of the four Super Bowl championships earned under Brady and coach Bill Belichick.

CANADA SETS OLYMPIC TARGETS THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada has set a target of winning at least 19 medals at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. That would be one more than the 18 won at the 2012 Games in London, which included one gold, five silver and 12 bronze medals. Canada has also set a goal of finishing in the top 12 in the world in

medals standings. Own the Podium CEO Anne Merklinger said Canada’s best medal hopes going into the Games are in athletics, cycling, swimming, diving and wrestling. Other sports with strong medal potential include boxing, golf, tennis and beach volleyball. Canada is confident it can reach its goals based on an increasing number of athletes posting top performances at

world championships and other events leading up to the Games. Both the Canadian Olympic Association and Own The Podium have increased spending in a bid to boost the medal count. Canadian Olympic Committee chief Chris Overholt expressed confidence that security and health measures in force will keep Canada’s 315 athletes safe in Rio.

Peace Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.

Always Loved, Forever Missed Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Service (250) 554-2429 Condolences may be left for Ramona’s Family at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Thank You

Mary was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1930. The family moved to Chisholm, Alberta in 1932 and later to the Queensborough area of New Westminster, in 1944, where she and Ed married on November 10, 1951, making this her 65th anniversary year. They gave birth to their children in the Lower Mainland, before moving to Kamloops in 1961. Mary stayed at home with her children, returning to work after the children were all in school. She then worked out at Tranquille, in various positions before ending her work career as a clerk in federal government.

A Celebration of Life of Douglas Brian Byres will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2016.

She enjoyed many outdoor activities, including golf, camping or retreating to the family cabin at Dominic Lake. Ed and Mary celebrated their 25th anniversary with a Caribbean Cruise. After retirement, Ed and Mary travelled across Canada, with their fifth wheel trailer, as well as many areas of the US. Ed and Mary made many friends during their fifth wheel travelling days, including many members in the Good Sam Club.

It will take place at Kamloops on the Square, 159 Seymour Street, from 1:30 to 3:30 pm.

Prayers will be held for Mary, Wednesday, July 13 at 7:00 pm, with a Funeral Mass to be held on Thursday, July 14, at 11:00 am, at the OLPH Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops.

Mary loved bird watching and shared her passion with her family and other members of the local naturalist club. She volunteered at the church and other local Kamloops Tournament Events.

All are welcome to join us in sharing memories at the reception, after mass, in OLPH parish centre, next to the church. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Thank You The family of Sue Bottos would like to thank everyone for their love and support. Your acts of kindness and words of compassion helped us through this very emotional time. The baking and food platters were greatly appreciated, and the flower arragements were beautiful. Many charities have expressed their gratitude for the donations that they received in Sue’s name. Thank you to the first responders, RIH emergency staff and the RCMP, especially Cst. Rob Dupuis, for their compassion and professionalism in handling this family tragedy. Sue will be forever missed but will live in the hearts of all who knew her.
