Pipeline panel in Kamloops today, tomorrow

It was one month ago today that 18-year-old Jessie Simpson (right) was beaten in a Brocklehurst neighbourhood. He remains on life support. Thirty-nine-year-old Kristopher Teichrieb (left) remains in custody and is attending a bail hearing this week in the Kamloops Law Courts.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new federal panel appointed to take another look at the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline will hear submissions in Kamloops today and tomorrow. The TMX Ministerial Panel was appointed in spring by the federal Liberal government. Its three members will hear submissions from First Nations, local government, business and non-profit groups at Thompson Rivers University’s Ike Barber Centre. The National Energy Board approved the project in May, attaching 157 conditions before it can proceed. The project is intended to twin the existing Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton to its terminus on the West Coast in Burnaby. It has drawn fierce opposition on the Coast, including from municipalities of Burnaby and Vancouver, but has largely been welcomed by Interior municipalities. Proponent Kinder Morgan has signed benefit agreements with some First Nations and municipalities near the route and Thompson Rivers University. “Certainly, there hasn’t been the opposition you’ve seen in other cities,” said Mayor Peter Milobar, who expects input from municipalities to be “on technical terms rather than ideology.” Ron Ignace, chief of the Skeetchestn Indian Band, said the band has not been properly consulted about the project. He has concerns about a plan to reroute the existing line beside the historic Ajax mine pit and Jacko Lake. The Skeetchestn and Tk’emlups bands together have filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court, claiming title to the private property around the mine as well as within the City of Kamloops. “They’re looking at moving the pipeline,” Ignace said. “That’s of concern to us.” The roundtable meetings at TRU’s Irving K. Barber Centre today include government from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and First Nations from 12:30 to 4:30. Tomorrow, local government is scheduled to present from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., non-governmental organizations from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and business from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Members of the public can make submissions during the panel sessions or online.

Teichrieb’s bail hearing begins CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER; JESSIE SIMPSON STILL IN COMA TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A father of three facing a charge of attempted murder in connection to the baseball-bat beating of an 18-yearold high school student walked into a Kamloops courtroom with a big smile on his face yesterday, waving at a group of friends and family seated in the gallery. Kristopher Teichrieb has been in custody since he was arrested in the earlymorning hours of June 19 after Jessie Simpson was beaten into a coma near Teichrieb’s Brocklehurst home. Teichrieb’s bail hearing is expected to wrap up later this week. The evidence presented at the hearing is protected by a court-ordered ban on publication. The 39-year-old wore a red jail-issue sweatsuit at the hearing, through which he sat silently, leaned forward and looked at the ground in the prisoner’s box with his elbows resting on his knees.

DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS MARKET SPECIAL

Teichrieb had eight supporters in the courtroom gallery. Three of them had to be excused from the hearing after Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison made an order excluding any potential witnesses at trial. Teichrieb is accused of beating Simpson with a baseball bat after finding the teen near or on his property. Simpson’s friends and family have said he was celebrating high-school graduation with friends on June 18 and may have been trying to find a group of friends when he was beaten. Simpson has been on life support since the incident. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen has suggested the charge against Teichrieb could be upgraded to murder if Simpson succumbs to his injuries. Teichrieb was arrested just after 5 a.m. on Father’s Day after police were called to a reported altercation in the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue.

Simpson’s friends and family have said he was beaten with a baseball bat after being chased down. Police initially said Teichrieb had confronted someone in the driveway of his Clifford Avenue home. At a candlelight vigil on June 26, Simpson’s aunt described his condition as “grave” and said it had not changed since he was admitted to Royal Inland Hospital. Police have said Simpson has not been able to verbalize anything to investigators. It is unclear if Mounties know why Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property, if he indeed was. The altercation took place on Holt Street. Teichrieb’s home is on nearby Clifford Avenue. Teichrieb is a father of three with no criminal record and the owner of at least two construction firms. Simpson lives in Savona and was graduating from South Kamloops secondary this year.

Tractor joyride leads to jail TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A fierce windstorm on Kamloops Lake Thursday led to a multi-agency response to a boat being overwhelmed by waves. All 13 aboard were saved. KTW FILE PHOTO

13 rescued after boat capsizes Thirteen people were saved from Kamloops Lake during Thursday night’s fierce windstorm. At about 8:15 p.m., with the storm rolling through Kamloops, a 21-foot pleasure boat capsized on Kamloops Lake at Cooney Bay, near where the Thompson River flows into the lake. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Michel Grondin said the boat was swamped by large waves generated from high winds during a storm, forcing those on the vessel to bail out after its engine

flooded and it lost power. Grondin said several cruisers, the Kamloops Fire Rescue boat and the RCMP helicopter were pressed into service, with the fire boat plucking two adults and two children from the water. Three adults and six children were found safe on the south shore of the lake. The children were between the ages of 12 and 15. Grondin said all involved are from out of province and were visiting Kamloops, noting all were taken to Royal Inland

Hospital for medical care and as a precaution. “Kamloops RCMP continues its investigation to verify that all small vessel regulations were adhered to,” Grondin said. Environment Canada had issued a weather warning for Kamloops on Thursday morning, followed by a severe thunderstorm warning in the early afternoon. At 4:38 p.m., it ended the severe thunderstorm warning, after which the windstorm blew through the area.

A Merritt-area farmer accused of drunkenly driving a tractor off the road and into his friend’s house last week remains behind bars. Charles Toodlican, 67, is facing a raft of charges — including dangerous driving, impaired driving and mischief — stemming from the bizarre incident alleged to have unfolded on a rural highway in Lower Nicola. Court heard Toodlican had been drinking wine at a friend’s house at about noon last Thursday. Seven hours later, the female friend told police, his tractor showed up on her property. “She said Mr. Toodlican drove a big blue tractor and crashed through the fence on her property line,” Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said. According to police, the tractor left the road on Highway 8, crashed through the gate of Toodlican’s friend, hit a shed and

then collided with her house. Caputo said damage is estimated at $4,000. The friend called police, court heard, and investigators paid a visit to Toodlican’s farm. “The police noted a tractor with the ignition key still in it and the hood warm to the touch,” Caputo said. Toodlican is bound by a 10-year driving prohibition, so he is also facing a charge of driving a motor vehicle while disqualified. Court heard he has a lengthy record, including a 1989 conviction for impaired driving causing death. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley denied Toodlican’s application for bail. “Mr. Toodlican poses, in my view, a substantial risk to the public,” Cleaveley said. Toodlican became agitated in court after learning he would not be released. “What about my animals?” he said. “I’ll just have to let them die, I guess.” Toodlican is due back in court on Thursday.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Leaders from Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands met with Environment Minister Catherine McKenna recently to ask for a federal negotiator to be appointed and for resources to complete their own review of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. Polish-based KGHM is behind the proposed mine, which would be developed south of Aberdeen. Skeetchestn Indian Band Chief Ron Ignace said the group is also seeking a meeting with the Polish ambassador to Canada to deliver a message the state-controlled KGHM cannot proceed without First Nations consent. The meeting with McKenna took place on July 13 in Niagara Falls during the annual general meeting for the Assembly of First Nations. Leaders from the two bands met with the minister under the banner of Stk’emlúpsemc

te Secwepemc Nation (SSN). “We’ve asked for a panel review and been turned down,” Ignace said. “We want a federal department on the environmental side to sit with us on a nationto-nation basis to discuss the issues. “We’ve [also] asked for resources to help with our project review and to engage government more fully.” SSN embarked on its own project review in May, with appointed members from families hearing a week of submissions. SSN is expected to make a decision whether to approve the project in the fall. The bands consider the private lands around the historic Ajax mine as culturally and environmentally significant. It is also home to blue- and red-listed species. Blue-listed species includes any indigenous species or subspecies considered to be vulnerable. They are at risk, but are not extirpated, endangered or threatened. Red-listed

species are considered endangered. Ignace said SSN is waiting to hear back from the federal ministry on its request. Added Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Fred Seymour in a statement: “As stated to Minister McKenna as part of our face-to-face meeting, we are demanding that the federal government undertake discussions on a nation-tonation basis to ensure that Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwepemc Nation is fully involved in the federal government’s comprehensive review of the environmental assessment, National Energy Board, navigable waters and fisheries acts through the appointment of a federal negotiator and providing the financial resources for meaningful consultation and engagement.” The group is demanding the Canadian and Polish governments respect the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples, which calls for free, prior and informed indigenous consent.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The wet and relatively cool July thus far has kept shorts and other summer wear in the closet. According to Environment Canada, two year-old Kodie Balster and dad Will can start donning summer clothes more suited to Kamloops’ hot summers when they return for a day of fun at Riverside Park later this week.

It’s later than usual, but Environment Canada says hot weather is indeed on its way to Kamloops. “We’ll end the unsettled period with a blast of thunderstorms, but then I’m happy to report that, later on in the week, we’re finally going to get some welldeserved summer weather,” said meteorologist Matt MacDonald. Forecasters are predicting a final round of thunderstorms today, with the possibility of more showers tomorrow, before temperatures begin to climb on Thursday. MacDonald said residents can expect daytime highs above 30 C through the weekend — weather that’s been in short supply so far this month. While Kamloops typically sees about 13 days in July on which the temperature climbs about 30 C, it’s happened only once so far this month.

The city hasn’t had any days above 35 C yet (about four is common). With half of the month left to go, the city has already seen most of its usual monthly rainfall for July, with 24 millimetres recorded so far, compared to a monthly average of 31 millimetres. “Looking at the weather charts over the past month, really, we’ve all been scratching our heads here at the weather office, thinking, ‘This looks like an April pattern,’” MacDonald said. While a cool, unsettled July isn’t abnormal, he said it’s not surprising if many in the Tournament Capital are ready for something different. “We got a tease of summer weather way back in April, if you remember. April was incredible — we had temperatures into the high 20s. It was an early tease of summer and I think a lot of people switched the switch at that point and thought summer was here to stay,” he said.

This time, it looks like warm weather may be here for the rest of summer. Despite the cooler start, MacDonald said he’s still predicted a hot summer ahead. “I think August should come out in the record books as warmer than normal,” he said. The gloomy July was preceded by a drier and warmer than normal June, which saw only 40 per cent of its normal rainfall in what is typically the wettest month of the year in the Interior. Environment Canada recorded 17.7 millimetres of rain in June at Kamloops Airport, down from the 37-millimetre norm. It was the 20th-driest June in more than a century of records. The slightly warmer and drier pattern in June was caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon that has now dissipated in the region. “It’s not a player any more in our temperatures,” meteorologist Lisa Coldwells told KTW earlier this month.

Gender-neutral washroom opens in Riverside Park ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After years of debate over designs and a few false starts, Kamloops finally has its first gender-neutral washroom in Riverside Park. The new washroom — accessible from an exterior door in Heritage House — is intended for park users who may not feel comfortable in a men’s or women’s washroom, those with children or people who need to be accompanied by a caregiver or spouse. It cost the city $120,000 to build, with $80,000 going directly to the cost of upgrading Heritage House’s former men’s washroom and giving it an exterior door. Ottawa chipped in $50,000 for the renovation through its Enabling Accessibility Fund. Capital projects supervisor Mark Katchel said the cost of the washroom is high because of the fixtures required to make it both vandal-proof and accessible to people with physical disabilities. “We’re putting in automated door openers and closers, lighting and parks-level, durable fixtures and stainlesssteel millwork — just because people are abusive, and you need to put a higher-quality finish in there to make sure it lasts,” he said.

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com “That’s what was driving a lot of those costs, just the materials we needed to use to make it durable.” The bathroom’s door lock is on a timer and won’t stay closed for more than 17 minutes at a time to prevent small children from becoming trapped inside, social and community development supervisor Jen Casorso told media at a grand opening event for the washroom on Friday. To build the washroom, the city gutted the existing men’s washroom in Heritage House. Katchel said the building is used mainly by women and men who visit will be asked to use the indoor handicapaccessible bathroom. “I know that people have a tendency to do this and go, ‘Oh, I spent this much on a bathroom in my house.’ But that’s in your house,” Katchel said. “You aren’t putting stainless steel countertops and things in. If people didn’t abuse the

bathrooms, the cost could be quite lower, but that’s not the world we live in.” The remaining money was spent on landscaping improvements around Heritage House, including a new brick patio that will have way markers pointing visually impaired park visitors toward the washroom. The city has been trying to put a gender-neutral washroom in the park for years, but has struggled to find a workable concept. In 2014, council signed off on a plan to bring a Portland Loo — a small metal box not enclosed at the top and bottom — to the park, but the project was eventually deemed too expensive. Parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the cost for the washroom would have been about double what the city ended up spending, due to the U.S. exchange rate and the costs of running water and sewer lines to the unit.

Trial ends in guilty verdict TAYLOR MATCHETT CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, PLANS TO APPEAL TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It took a B.C. Supreme Court jury 10 hours of deliberation on Friday to find a man accused of raping a former Kamloops prostitute at gunpoint guilty of the lesser included charge of sexual assault — a verdict Taylor Matchett will appeal. The 28-year-old stood trial this week on one count of sexual assault with a firearm. The allegations against Matchett date back more than six years. On Nov. 11, 2009, a Kamloops prostitute called police to say she had been raped by a man pointing a gun at her head. Investigators collected suspect DNA from her body, but could not find a match in a national criminal database.

That changed last fall, after Matchett was convicted of an unrelated crime in Alberta and ordered to surrender a sample of his DNA. He was arrested last November on a Canada-wide warrant by police in Edmonton, where he had moved three years earlier. Matchett’s trial was a he-said, she-said scenario. The former sex worker, whose name is protected by a court-ordered publication ban, told court Matchett pulled a gun on her after soliciting her for a sex act. She said he raped her at gunpoint over a 30-minute period in a secluded parking lot on McArthur Island. The woman admitted in court to having initially lied to police. When she first reported the rape, she told investigators she was not a sex worker and said the sus-

pect had offered her a ride home. Matchett admitted to jurors that he hired the woman to perform a sex act, but denied sexually assaulting her. He said she attempted to extort him for $500 after he told her his condom had broken. Twelve jurors heard the week-long trial, but the verdict was reached by 11. One juror was excused on Friday afternoon, four hours into deliberations, after informing a deputy sheriff he felt he was too loud and intimidating to allow the jury to come to a proper verdict. After the verdict, which came down just after 8 p.m. on Friday, defence lawyer Sheldon Tate told KTW Matchett will appeal. Tate stated earlier in court that there should be no lesser included charge offered to jurors given the facts as described by the woman.

Weekend inmate fails in bid to leave KRCC Despite a plea for house arrest, a Kamloops man who claims to have been the victim of excessive force at the hands of a prison guard was back behind bars this weekend. Michael Walsh was sentenced last month to serve 14 days on weekends at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. The 46-year-old was in Kamloops provincial court on Friday, asking a judge to change his

sentence to house arrest or probation. “The guards used excessive force to take me into segregation when I said something about a meal,” he said, claiming he had his face “smashed” by a correctional officer. “I don’t have a problem serving my punishment, but I have a problem putting my life in jeopardy,” Walsh said. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley said his hands were tied. The minimum sentence for two driving while prohibited convictions within a year is 14 days in jail.

Canada’s highest court denies blackbox appeal bid CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Supreme Court of Canada has declined to hear the appeal of a 54-year-old man whose reckless driving caused the death of two people on MacKenzie Avenue in Kamloops six years ago. Lawyers for Wayne Fedan sought to take the case to the country’s highest court after the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled against them. But the Supreme Court of Canada determined it will not hear it, meaning Fedan will serve out his sentence. Fedan was convicted in September 2014 of dangerous driving causing death in connection to the crash that killed 20-year-old Brittany Plotnikoff and 38-year-old Kenneth Craigdaillie on MacKenzie Avenue in North Kamloops. All three were at a party together and Fedan was driving them home. He was sentenced to three years in prison and handed a three-year driving ban to begin following his sentence for causing the March 20, 2010, crash. The sentencing judge found data contained in the black box of Fedan’s pickup truck showed his foot was on the accelerator as he rounded the corner at more than twice the posted speed limit on MacKenzie Avenue, at the turn to McArthur Island. Both the B.C. Supreme Court and B.C. Court of Appeal rejected arguments that police required a search warrant before accessing data in the vehicle’s black box. Fedan’s sentence will end in October next year. Lawyers Micah Rankin and Anthony Varesi argued Canada’s highest court should have consid-

ered the appeal based on what they called “an issue of national importance,” including four factors: • Changes in technology mean automobiles have become “repositories of potentially vast amounts of personal information about drivers” — information that should have protection of privacy rights. • The decision sets a precedent for seizure without a search warrant. • The decision is at odds with rulings in senior Ontario courts, which found drivers have an expectation of privacy in material contained in the black box. • The appeal asked whether the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms limits police from accessing data from devices in automobiles.

IT’S MUCH EASIER TO APOLOGIZE

t some point or another, everyone says something they really wish they hadn’t. For most people, it’s a matter of apologizing and admitting it was a really dumb thing to say. Politicians, however, tend to dodge and weave a bit more than the rest of us. So it goes with Boundary-Similkameen Liberal MLA Linda Larson and her question: “How long do you think before the legacy of those residential schools finally burns itself out of the First Nations people?” Larson made other remarks during a recent health-committee hearing showing she understands, at least in part, the tragedy of residential schools. But her question, which she rephrased later, shows a degree of cultural insensitivity unacceptable in a MLA. Nor is this the first time Larson has been called out for her comments. Last year, B.C. NDP environment critic Chandra Hebert called on Larson to apologize for remarks referring to supporters of the South Okanagan National Park as “crazy people” and extremists. It is possible Larson meant her questions about residential schools kindly. There are probably few people that don’t want to see those wounds healed and the scars faded to a memory. There is, however, a lot of work to be done before we ever get to that stage. Even then, that is for the sake of the First Nations people. Society at large, and governments especially, should never forget the horror residential schools were from concept to execution. Otherwise, how can we ensure it never happens again? And, even if, as Premier Christy Clark claims, Larson was asking how the wounds could be healed — not how we can forget the past — Larson’s question was phrased in a callous manner that could be misunderstood. In the end, why not do like the rest of us and simply apologize for making a dumb comment and work to do better in the future, without all the justifications and explanations?

Herded on housing

he biggest risk of building and promoting a nanny state is that you get one, then you have to feed it. B.C. politicians are facing this situation in housing after an entire generation has been taught by school and media that the government is supposed to control the global housing market. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn’t promised yet to house everyone in their location of choice, which overwhelmingly seems to be the most desired and expensive urban real estate in the country. But he sent his Families, Children and Social Development Minister, JeanYves Duclos, to B.C. to meet with provincial ministers to create a National Housing Strategy. We haven’t had one for 40 years, Duclos declared. Oh dear, what a scandal. Actually, the reason is that housing is a provincial and local jurisdiction. As with health care, federal meddling via funding strings had largely been eliminated. This is why Ottawa didn’t have a families, children and social development minister until a few months ago. If you include housing, B.C. has three ministers doing those jobs, which is as it should be. Duclos’ job is to show that Trudeau really cares, in the style of Liberal Ottawa. As for a national strategy, local and provincial poverty and homelessness elimination schemes have shown governments might as well announce

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA a Soviet-style Five-Year Plan for Tractor Production for all the good it does. The choice of Victoria for the federal-provincial strategy meeting was less than ideal. The theatre over Victoria’s ever-growing tent city squat was continuing in and out of the courthouse next door, bolstered by professional protesters from Vancouver. They took a break from ordering the media around at the tent camp, hauled their publicaddress system over to the hotel where Duclos was meeting with B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman and other provincial ministers and chanted their demands. They even have a number, delivered via bullhorn by a large, loud fellow named Ivan Drury of something called the Alliance Against Displacement, an upstart outfit formerly known as Social Housing Coalition. Drury led a chant of “77,000 homes! Build them now!” before his massed supporters made a show for TV of trying to force their way into the hotel where

the ministers met. Inside the hotel, Coleman indicated what B.C. intends to do with the $150 million share of federal money that Ottawa offered in its first budget. It’s going into programs Coleman is rapidly expanding, whether it’s fixing up more rundown hotels or building new subsidized housing. Coleman has been buying up buildings hand over fist in Victoria. He’s brought in the infamous Portland Hotel Society to show the capital how the poverty industry runs in the big city. One of Victoria’s existing converted motels was recently partly gutted by fire and this will continue to be a risk as lowbarrier housing becomes the main focus. People with a track record of wrecking social housing and camping in dangerous and unsanitary conditions are the political priority. Their priority is to get high and do as little as possible — and they’re coming from across Canada to good old B.C. Meanwhile, the B.C. government is grappling with the higher end of the housing problem. Vancouver claims it will lead the way and impose a tax on vacant properties to discourage international speculation. That may even work. At least it is being undertaken at the correct level of government, as part of the property-tax system. But, of course, the city wants the provincial government to take over the job. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IT IS PEOPLE WHO KILL AND MAIM

CLINIC IS THE CAT’S PYJAMAS Editor: I have a special thanks to send out, but first I would like to tell a small story. After recently relocating to Kamloops from Northern Alberta, my family has struggled financially to the max. It took 76 days for me to find employment, we have had our car backed into and, recently, our cat came home with gruesome injuries. After contacting the humane society and the SPCA (who never returned my calls or emails), we found help with Dr. Sandy and his amazing team at the cat hospital. I would like to thank the Kamloops Cat Hospital for its generosity and medical expertise in saving my beloved cat. The cat hospital and its staff are excellent and I would recommend their services until the end of time. Thank you so much. Angela Coulson Kamloops

KTW reader Marji Sagrus captured this interesting nature scene at Paul Lake: a loon catching dinner for a duck on its back. Biologist Rick Howie says the apparent adoption of the duck by the loon is “exceedingly unusual.”

A BIRD RELATIONSHIP THAT MAY BE UNPRECEDENTED Editor: It is good to see that you corrected the loon photo that was mistakenly called an osprey. Your correction is partially right, but tells a most interesting story. The adult in the picture is a common loon, all right, but the chick on its back is not a baby loon. It is a Barrow’s goldeneye duckling. For some odd reason, it became separated from its duck family and, even more unusual, the loon adopted it and has been feeding it.

The duck thinks it is a loon chick and the loon thinks so, too. Normally, young goldeneye are not even fed by their mother. This is exceedingly unusual and may even be unprecedented. This odd situation has been documented with photos by Doug Giles at Paul Lake. To quote the famous radio personality, Paul Harvey: “And now you know the rest of the story.” Rick Howie registered professional biologist Kamloops

Editor: Re: Eileen Beaton’s letter of July 15 (‘People don’t kill people - guns kill people’): How absurd. I am sitting here reading Beaton’s comments as I wait to hear of my granddaughter’s condition after an early morning hit and run motorvehicle accident in Kelowna involving a drunk driver who was driving without a licence or insurance. The driver was apprehended, thanks to witnesses. This brought back memories of other incidents that have occurred in our past. Five years ago, our niece, her fiancé and his mother were hit head-on by a drunk driver, leaving our niece disabled and unable to work or pursue her new profession. Years before that, friends of ours lost their daughter and mother of two to a head-on crash caused by a drunk driver. I bring this up because, using Beaton’s analogy, drunk drivers are not the cause. It is the motor vehicles. So, with that in mind, remember, don’t worry about the idiot behind the wheel or the trigger. They won’t kill you, but the equipment will. We have just received word our granddaughter and her friend miraculously survived the crash in Kelowna with non- life threatening injuries. Thank goodness. Hank Karpuk Kamloops

Mail

A sentencing hearing for a man convicted of confining and beating his mother-in-law in a dispute over money ended abruptly yesterday when be began screaming abuse at his estranged former family. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson ordered an amicus curiae (friend of the court) be appointed to represent Rudolph Atzenberger for sentencing. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” Josephson said. The Crown is asking for a two- to three-year prison term for the electrical contractor. Following that order and while Josephson was walking out of the courtroom, an agitated Atzenberger turned to his estranged ex-wife’s family and began yelling and pointing at them as a sheriff intervened. “You ugly, vicious people!” he yelled repeatedly as the Crown prosecutor hurriedly emptied the courtroom. In court, Atzenberger referred to himself as a “good, honest man.” “You’re a good man who did a very bad thing,” interjected the sentencing judge. In March, a jury convicted the 57-year-old of forcible entry, breakand-enter, assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats. For two days at the beginning of the trial, Susan Denison testified Atzenberger entered her home while she was asleep. Her former son-in-law tore off her covers and grabbed her by the hair, pushing and pulling her. Over the next several hours, she said, Atzenberger sat directly across from her, grilling her about a series of family and financial questions.

He hit her with his gloved hands each time he heard an answer he did not like from the 75-year-old woman. Atzenberger then forced her to sign a document absolving him of debts. The accused man represented himself at the trial. He testified he went to Denison’s home to iron out old differences and attempted to calm her and protect himself when she grew angry and violent. Atzenberger said he tried to pour cold water on her and she slipped several times in the shower. The senior B.C. Supreme Court justice told Atzenberger “the evidence you offered approached the absurd.” Before the sentencing hearing, Atzeberger presented the court with hundreds of pages of material, much of it testimony from a civil trial involving his former in-laws. He continually argued with Josephson, telling him the jury didn’t hear the real story. “I don’t know where you’ve been,” Josephson told him. “You’ve turned yourself into a complete victim. The jury completely rejected your version.” Before an earlier scheduled sentencing hearing Atzenberger attempted to convince the judge to declare a mistrial. Atzenberger represented himself during the trial, but a court-ordered lawyer conducted cross-examination of Denison. Now a court-ordered lawyer will speak on his behalf and prepare for sentencing. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said he is recommending a jail sentence between two and three years. Atzenberger told Josephson he wants a conditional discharge.

SUN RIVERS IS BLOOMING

Communities In Bloom judges Evelyn Alemanni and Gaetan Deschenes toured Sun Rivers Resort Community on Friday as part of the 2016 international competition appraisal. This year, Sun Rivers is competing for the Gold category at the International level among communities with a population of 1,001 to 5,000. The tour on Friday left the judges suitably impressed. “This is like Disneyland, so perfect. It’s really perfect,” Alemanni said. “I noticed the incredible edging on all the turf, it’s like perfectly edged. Everything is perfectly mulched, the gravel is immaculate, the streets are clean, the hanging baskets are super amazing. The ones at the golf club are over the top — unbelievable.” Deschenes concurred, noting Sun Rivers is quite different from other communities they are visiting. “Were doing eight cities in the tour. Here it’s very special,” he said. “It’s hard to compare as far as I’m concerned. It’s very clean and everything seems to be too perfect.” Communities in Bloom is a community accreditation and awards program that promotes community involvement in the six criteria components of building a healthy environment. Areas of focus include tidiness, environmental awareness, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscaping and floral displays. Winners will be announced in October in Regina.

Closed as construction begins LOTTO #’S

Fitness buffs in Westsyde will have to start heading across the river to use their city gym memberships beginning on Friday. On July 22, the city will close the fitness centre at the Westsyde Pool and Community Centre to the public in preparation for a replacement of the building’s roof beginning later this summer. The pool has been closed since June of 2015 after moisture penetrated the inside ceiling of the facility rotting the roof. The gym in the building remained open. Capital projects supervisor Matt Kachel said the city will remove any equipment that could be damaged during the work from the building in preparation for construction. The tender for the project is set to close on Thursday. Kamloops city council has already signed off the tender, as long as it comes in on or under budget,

allowing staff to finalize details without waiting for council’s next meeting 19 days later. The city has already run a pre-qualifying process for the tender, narrowing down its options to three contractors it feels meet the requirements of the project. Replacing the roof and insulation is expected to cost about $3 million, with about $2 million going to construction

costs (the remainder will cover engineering, contingency funds, communications and other expenses). Kachel said he’s fairly confident the city can get a reasonable price for the work, but said if tenders creep above $2.4 million, the project will have to be referred back to council. If tenders arrive on budget, Kachel said he expects construction will begin in the first or second week of August. The building will remain closed to the public until early 2017, when the city hopes to have the project completed. “There was some debate about trying to maintain service and keep it open, but the cost of doing that when you’re pulling the roof apart and trying to keep it safe for the public wasn’t worth it,” Kachel said. Project construction updates will be made available online at kamloops.ca once construction is underway.

TRU addresses isolation concerns Senior administrators at Thompson Rivers University will have their doors open more often and provide opportunities for chats over lunch as the institution addresses faculty concerns of isolation. In an email to faculty, TRU president Alan Shaver said he, finance vice-president Matt Milovick, advancement vice-president Christopher Seguin and new provost Christine Bovis-Cnossen will ensure annual town-hall meetings are held with students, faculty and staff at the start of the academic year and during the winter term. The meetings will be livestreamed and notes will be taken to be shared with other governing bodies of the university. A three-way joint meeting between the board of governors, senate and planning council of the open-learning division will also be held during the winter term and livestreamed. Those three bodies plan to livestream all their public meetings starting at the beginning of the upcoming school year. The four senior administrators are also asking to meet with each TRU faculty council to hear first-hand concerns. They also will ask if they can attend a meeting of the faculty-

council chairs and the Leadership, Relationships, Alignment and Communications group. Shaver is also inviting students, staff and faculty to join him for lunches to talk about issues. The quartet has also asked the chair of the senate steering committee be added to the senate agenda group to help develop agendas and that the chair of the board of governors arrange for one student member and one faculty or staff member to also take part in the agenda-setting committee. The moves come after months of bargaining last year during which the TRU faculty union (TRUFA) complained senior administrators were disengaged and not listening to the concerns of their employees. TRUFA president Tom Friedman called the moves positive and said it will be incumbent on faculty to ensure the processes work.

RIDING FOR CANCER RESEARCH

The Sikh Motorcycle Club’s Cross Canada Ride to raise money for cancer research stopped at the Ord Road Sikh Temple in Kamloops on Sunday. Participants began in Surrey, drove to Montreal and stopped in Kamloops on the return journey. They will have covered about 10,000 kilometres by the end of their trip and had raised $50,000 as of last week. To donate, go online to cancer.ca/sikhmotorcycleclub.

Grasslands link postponed A plan to link Grasslands Boulevard between Woodrush Drive and Cantle Drive is temporarily on hold. Capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said a final design for the project is moving

slower than anticipated because of grade and access challenges. The project won’t go to tender until late summer or fall and won’t be completed until spring of 2017. While there is an emergency access-only route in place,

Crundwell said the project will improve access through the neighbourhood and allow for future improvements to the city’s transit service. The project is expected to cost about $2 million.

Water is a limited natural resource, so you don’t want to rely on guesswork when watering your lawn and gardens. Over-watering and under-watering can result in unhealthy turf and plants and costs time and money.

6 Tips for Smart Irrigation Regular maintenance

Check for leaks, broken or clogged sprinkler heads.

Adjust the delivery angle of heads

Avoid watering sidewalks or structures and ensure necessary clearance over growing plants.

Install a rain shutoff switch

These inexpensive devices can be retrofitted to almost any system and are effective at preventing watering in the rain.

Consider ‘smart’ technology

Climate or soil based controllers evaluate weather or soil moisture conditions and then automatically adjusts the irrigation schedule to meet the specific needs of your landscape.

Consider micro-irrigation

TURKEY ENGAGING IN ‘WITCH HUNT’ ON JUDICIARY AFTER COUP ATTEMPT, ANALYSTS SAY THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canadian experts say the Turkish government is engaged in a witch hunt because it has arrested or fired thousands of judges and prosecutors following the weekend’s failed coup. They accuse President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of falsely blaming the failed uprising on Turkey’s socalled Gulen movement, led by U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, a former ally that the Turkish president has branded a terrorist group. That view comes amid warnings from the European Union and the United States to Turkey not to backslide on human rights and democracy as it tries to restore order.

The Turkish government said Monday it detained 755 judges and prosecutors and 650 civilians as well as more than 6,100 members of security forces. Bessma Momani, a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, says the arrests likely number in the thousands and amount to a “witch hunt’’ aimed at Erdogan’s political enemies. Errol Mendes, a University of Ottawa international law expert, uses the same term to describe the crackdown and says there is much at stake for Western countries because Turkey is a key ally in the fight against Islamic militants in the Middle East.

Pokemon Go released in Canada

Now you, too, can catch ‘em all THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Ready to hit the streets in search of a Pikachu? The Pokemon Go smartphone game has become a phenomenon since its debut nearly two weeks ago and it is now officially available in Canada. The appeal stems partly from how easy it is to play. Here’s what you need to know to get started:

SIGNING UP AND SIGNING IN

Download the free Pokemon Go app from the Apple or Android app store. It’s now available throughout much of Europe, along with the U.S., Canada, Australia and other countries. You can then sign in with a Pokemon Trainer Club account, if you already have one from playing the old-school Pokemon trading card game online. For the rest of us, a Google account will do. After you customize you avatar by picking out clothes, colour and gender, you’re ready to play.

IN A NUTSHELL, HOW DO I PLAY?

Your avatar appears on a digital map, mirroring your movements as tracked by your phone. It’s like a bare-bones version of Google

Maps, with no names attached to the streets, rivers and parks. A compass points north. You can see in all directions by spinning your character around. Look around and you’ll see floating lightblue blocks that signify PokeStops. These could be anything from the entrance to a park to fancy stonework on a building — all in the real world. Tagging these spots by spinning the PokeStop’s photo disk on the phone earns you Poke Balls, which you can use to throw at and collect Pokemon, along with other items. As you’re glued to your phone, avoid bumping into realworld obstacles. Have some fun along the way.

virtual worlds. The Pokemon seem to be right in front of you, thanks to your phone camera capturing what’s in front of you and displaying the Pokemon on top of it. This has resulted in some pretty funny pictures on social media, but Pokemon are sometimes easier to catch if you turn this feature off. If you’ve run out of Poke Balls, just look for more PokeStops. You can also buy Poke Balls and other useful items with coins you earn along the way. Or spend real money.

Pokemon appear on your grid from time to time. There are 128 listed in your profile to start, including Pikachu, the cute yellow rabbit-like creature that has long served as Pokemon’s poster child. Tapping on them gives you a close-up view and allows you to fling your Poke Balls at them. The idea is to bop them on the head and capture them inside the ball. Many people like the app’s use of augmented reality , a blending of the real and

Instinct (yellow), Mystic (blue) or Valor (red). Then, head over to your nearest gym, which are virtual representations of real-world locations, just like PokeStops. You might run into other players here, too. Gyms held by your team can be used for training. You can allocate some of your Pokemon to defend them and use others to fight with Pokemon from other teams and wrest control of rival gyms. As you move up levels, you’ll get more powerful versions of Poke Balls. And you can collect candies and stardust to make your Pokemon stronger and more apt to succeed in battle.

NATIONAL NEWS Calgary Stampede attendance at 22-year low due to rain, recession THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The rain-plagued Calgary Stampede is reporting its lowest attendance in 22 years. Spokeswoman Jennifer Booth said persistent rains are being blamed for cumulative attendance that reached just 1,088,000 at the 10-day western show, the lowest level since 1994 when 1,082,000 came through the turnstiles. The 2016 total is down about seven per cent from 2015 and off 13 per cent from the five-year average of 1.23 million. Attendance was in line with previous years for the first few days of the show but fell off as rain repeatedly pelted the grounds last week, prompting officials to cut its $18 general admission price to $5 between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.

On Sunday, 65,000 guests took advantage of a special offer of free admission in the morning and halfprice tickets were available for the evening rodeo and Grandstand Show. Marketing manager Jenna MacMillan of Lammle’s Western Wear and Tack says overall sales revenue was on par with previous years at its nine temporary stores on the Stampede grounds, but the product mix this year was quite different. She says the company sold thousands of plastic rain ponchos, while guests trying to add layers to survive the chilly weather drove sales of sweaters and hoodies. Alberta’s economy is also taking some of the blame for lower numbers. TD Economics says in a report that Alberta’s recession this year will likely be more severe than any of its past four recessions, with double the average decline in growth.

Fees to drop for airlines, operators OTTAWA — Airlines and other aircraft operators are in line for $150 million of fee reductions over two years from Nav Canada, which operates Canada’s air navigation system. Ottawa-based Nav Canada says the cuts in the service charges, which are levied on airlines and other owners and operators of aircraft to recoup the costs of providing air navigation services, will begin Sept. 1. Nav Canada says the reduced fees are possible because of strong growth in air traffic, investments in its air navigation system and cost controls.

Declined: Walmart kicks off Visa credit card ban in Thunder Bay THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Three Walmart stores in Thunder Bay, Ont., are no longer accepting Visa, the payment company said yesterday as it encouraged its customers to take their business elsewhere. After months of negotiations, Walmart said last month it would eliminate Visa as a payment option at those stores because it believes it pays the retail giant too much in merchant fees. The retail giant has promised to extend the ban on Visa cards to its 400 locations across Canada, though it has not said when that will happen. Visa, Canada’s largest credit card firm, shot back yesterday with a message for Walmart shoppers. “Until an agreement can be reached in this commercial dispute, we encourage shoppers to use their cards at the more than 5,200 stores

Visa is encouraging its customers to skip Walmart when doing their shopping because the retail giant has banned the payment company from three stores in Thunder Bay. The two companies are in a dispute about credit card fees.

in Thunder Bay that accept Visa,’’ Visa said in a statement. Walmart said it pays more than $100 million in fees annually for customers using credit cards like Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Visa said it offered Walmart one of the lowest rates for any merchant in the country but the retailer wanted more, and if it had given in, Walmart’s merchant fees would have been lower than those charged to local grocery markets, pharmacies, convenience stores, charities and

schools. The Retail Council of Canada has called on the federal government to intervene to mandate lower fees for all merchants. A spokesman for Finance Minister Bill Morneau said he’s waiting to receive a report on a 2014 voluntary 10 per cent fee reduction by Visa and MasterCard before deciding “how we can ensure this market stays competitive in the future.’’ A recent poll suggested Walmart was winning the public relations battle with Visa — but with a

potential cost. Nearly 60 per cent of respondents to a self-commissioned survey by the Angus Reid Institute said they sided with Walmart, but nearly half of shoppers who used Visa at Walmart in the past year said they would be less likely to shop there if the card was no longer accepted. Almost two thirds of respondents to the online poll of 1,527 Canadians conducted earlier this month also said they believe any savings from a cut in Visa fees would mostly line Walmart’s pockets rather than being passed on to customers. The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, said online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population. — With files from Linda Nguyen in Toronto

Downturn worst for economic growth in decades IAN BICKIS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A new report says Alberta’s current recession is expected to shrink the economy by more than double the average of the past four recessions. The TD Bank report released yesterday said it estimates Alberta’s economy will contract 6.5 per cent over 2015

and 2016, which would widely exceed the 2.7 per cent average retreat of previous economic downturns going back to the early 1980s. The estimate came after TD tripled this year’s expected GDP decline to three per cent, after factoring in the Fort McMurray fires and a higher than expected drop in industry activity. “Based on our revised forecasts, the 2015-16

recession is likely to go down in history as one of the most severe using the GDP benchmark,’’ TD wrote. The 2008-2009 downturn approached the current recession in severity with a 5.5 per cent decline in GDP, but commodity prices quickly bounced back in early 2009, setting the stage for a renewed fiveyear period of prosperity, TD said.

That isn’t expected to happen this time. The bank said it is expecting a weaker rebound than normal when Alberta finally starts growing again next year, as oil and gas prices aren’t expected to climb high enough to justify new projects. While the current downturn is leading to the worst hit on GDP, TD still said that, overall, the early to mid-1980s reces-

sions were worse. “While offering cold comfort to the many residents that are struggling this year, several of the key measures (notably within the job market) are pointing to a relatively less-severe outcome than that suffered through the back-toback recessionary period in the 1980s,’’ TD wrote. The hit of the 19821983 and 1986 recessions in quick succession —

combined with high interest rates at the time — led to much higher unemployment and much more severe housing price corrections, TD said. Meanwhile, the impact of the current recession has been somewhat reduced thanks to the low Canadian dollar, the longer-term nature of

oilsands projects, the strengthening American economy and low interest rates. But those factors haven’t led to a quick rebound, with TD estimating this recession will last about two years, matching the 1982-1983 downturn as the longest since the Second World War.

Cache Creek resident set to open virtual reality studio in North Kamloops

ook left, then right — zombies attack from the front, from the rear and from the side. You better be ready to kill or be killed. All it takes is a headset, a pair of goggles and a couple of remotes and, suddenly, you’re inside a video game. A professional curveball and some teenaged inspiration have led to the creation of a new virtualreality business in North Kamloops called Reality Check Studio. Owner Noah Chardon recently opened the business at 618 Tranquille Rd. in Kamloops, a new direction for the Cache Creek resident who for years drove truck at Highland Valley Copper mine. “Highland Valley cut back a great deal because the price of copper went down,” Chardon told KTW. “As a contractor, we’re the first to go.” A trip to Penticton led to the 44-year-old’s new venture. Chardon and his family visited the Penticton Virtual Reality Studio and he was delighted to find an activity his 16-yearold son enjoyed. “He’s not always easy to please,” Chardon said with

a laugh. His son would later help him with some of the technical aspects of setting up the business, but glitches were still being worked out when KTW popped in for a visit. While the studio is now open for business, obtaining a building inspection and business licence bumped the planned July 15 launch date. They’re taking reservations — customers rent time by the half hour ($20 for each half hour, but reduced to $70 for two hours) to gain access to a room with a set of virtual reality gear, which up to six people can share during the purchased time. During that time, more than 20 games and experiences can be utilized. Games range from first-person shooter to another comparable to Fruit Ninja, while scores are connected to a global

snoop around King Tut’s tomb. “It’s kind of like the holodeck on Star Trek,” Chardon said. “It puts you into another world, really.” Another option is creating three-dimensional artwork using Tilt Brush, painting or

drawing in virtual reality beyond constraints of the real world. “There’s all the different tips you can use — drawing with fire and flames,” Chardon said. “People kind of forget their limitations when they’re emerged like that.” For groups, Chardon plans to set up a couch and, while only one person can go inside the virtual

world at a time, others can watch it all on the laptop screen. Or they can get a laugh as their friends wander around a room inside a tapedoff section, yelling and flailing at the wall. With the gear being portable, Chardon sees the possibility of eventually expanding to events in the city. Is there demand for a business like this

in Kamloops? “I certainly hope so,” Chardon said. “There’s a lot of young people in Kamloops and I figure they might be into something new. “Gaming is huge and it’s [virtual reality] the next level in gaming. There’s nothing else like this, really.” For more information, go online to realitycheckstudio. com.

OK, maybe not you, but more than 40 per cent of people surveyed felt they were not saving enough for retirement. The survey was done by 1,000 people over the age of 18 from across Canada. The survey covers monthly savings for retirement, recent changes to the Canada Pension Plan, company pension plans and if people are planning to work after age 65.

How much is enough? That is the question everyone asks and there is no right answer. Ask someone from an impoverished part of the planet and they probably wouldn’t know what the word “retirement” means. I have seen people retire happily on

Where will it come from? Most people today have a goal of owning their home. Some of the capital may come from down-

sizing that home. If you have worked in Canada for most of your life, you will get Canada Pension Plan benefits. Currently at age 65, you would receive $1,092.50 a month before tax. There is also Old Age security for Canadian residents that pays $573.37 per month before tax. If you had a retirement nest egg of $500,000 and could earn six per cent per year, on average, that would be another $2,500 a month. This combined with the pensions would get you over $4,000 a month before tax. Split this income with your spouse and your income tax would be negligible.

When will I retire? I find it interest-

ing that the concept of retiring at age 65 actually comes out of German history circa 1881. It was originally set at age 70, but in 1917 was lowered to 65. The U.S. followed with age 65 in 1935. I find this really interesting because, according to life expectancy tables from the U.S. in 1935, men were expected to live to age 60 and women to age 64. Now that we are expected to live into our 80s, shouldn’t the retirement age be 90? I am a huge believer in managing your work so you can do what you thought was going to be important in retirement, but still keep your foot in the door with whatever your skills are.

Mark’s recognized in Cannes for campaign Mark’s, which has two stores in Kamloops, has been recognized as a world leader in innovative, real-time marketing by being awarded a Bronze Lion under the Creative Data category at the Cannes Lions awards in France for The Colder it Gets campaign.

From a pool of more than 715 submissions, 73 made the shortlist and Mark’s took home third place. The Colder it Gets campaign partnered with The Weather Network to provide real-time data showcasing the temperature in each city. The daily low

was converted into the discount for the day, which gave customers a store-wide sale based on the weather temperature outside. For example, a -18 C day meant customers would receive 18 per cent off everything in a store.

JOIN IN FOR A GOOD CAUSE Friday, Aug. 19 Come out to Gardengate, 915 Southill St., 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and take part in the annual Salsa Challenge. The event is free of charge, and is always a fantastic afternoon. There will be teams from various agencies in Kamloops facing off to make the summer’s best salsa from fresh, organic vegetables grown at Gardengate. Three awards will be handed out: Judge’s Choice, People’s Choice and Team Spirit. The Gardengate Horticulture Program is an innovative horticulture project that aims to promote healthy eating and active living for persons living with mental-health issues.

AND THE WINNERS ARE: Valleyview Lions Club members Mike, Bob and Kathy join Ernie and Donna from Save-On-Foods during the drawing of prizes in the club’s lottery. Cody Graham won the boat, Shannon Poland pocketed $500 and Malia Orr took home the barbecue. Money raised will go to Camp Winfield, Family Tree Family Centre and the Westsyde Community Development Society. A FINAL GIFT FROM THE MAYFEST JAMBOREE: Kamloops Hospice was the recent benefactor of a $2,000 cheque from the Mayfest committee, a group of local square dancers. The committee, some of whom have been active for as many as 23 years, has been responsible for putting on The Mayfest Jamboree, an annual dance that began in 1980. Unfortunately, this year was the final year for the Mayfest Jamboree due to fewer dancers to support it and the increased cost of putting on the event. It was the committee’s unanimous decision to donate the money to hospice. From left to right: Pamela Young (representing hospice), Ross Kerr (treasurer), Dennis and Pat Pinske (chair couple), Marjorie Crossley, Bea Karpes, Leona Wilkinson, Lorraine Gabara and Chris Karpes.

Going green on Route 66

The Mother Road is getting charging stations and solar panels THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE — Route 66, a highway made famous for attracting gas-guzzling Chevrolet Bel Airs travelling from Chicago to Los Angeles, is turning green. The Mother Road is seeing a growing number of electric car charging stations along the 2,500-mile path, and some states are pushing for solar panels and electric buses. Illinois is installing a network of electric vehicle charging stations from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River. And, earlier this year, Missouri’s highway department announced it was considering a project to cover a portion of its Route 66 with road-ready solar panels. Route 66-area motel owners also are getting in on the action. Bella Roma Bed & Breakfast innkeeper Laura Ferrary said she installed a Tesla supercharger at her Albuquerque spot because she anticipates more environmentally conscious travellers in the future.

SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES

Consumer Reports magazine calls on Tesla to drop ‘Autopilot’ name TOM KRISHER DEE-ANN DURBIN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Consumer Reports has said that Tesla Motors is misleading car owners by calling its semiautonomous driving system “Autopilot,’’ potentially giving them too much trust in their car’s ability to drive itself. The influential magazine said Tesla should drop the Autopilot name and disconnect the automatic steering system until it’s updated to make sure a driver’s hands stay on the wheel at all times. The system currently warns drivers after a few minutes of their hands being off the wheel. In an email, a Tesla spokeswoman said the company has no plans to change the name, and that data it collects show drivers who use Autopilot are safer than those who don’t. With its statement, Consumer Reports joined a debate over autonomous driving technology that escalated after authorities revealed that Joshua Brown, 40, of Canton, Ohio, died in a May crash in Florida with the Autopilot on in his 2015 Model S. The system didn’t detect a tractor-trailer that had turned in front of the car in

Consumer Reports has taken issue with automaker Tesla’s use of the term “Autopilot,” which is available in vehicles like the 2018 Model 3. In May, an Ohio man died in a crash while his car was on “Autopilot.”

bright sunshine, and Brown also failed to react. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the wreck and the functioning of the Autopilot system. After the Brown crash, critics accused Tesla of giving drivers access to a system that wasn’t ready, while supporters contended the company was improving automotive safety.

DRAW DATE: OCTOBER 4TH

Tesla’s Autopilot system uses cameras, radar and computers to detect objects and automatically brake if the car is about to hit something. It also can steer the car to keep it centred in its lane. The company says that before Autopilot can be used, drivers must acknowledge that it’s an “assist feature’’ that requires both hands on the wheel at all

times. Drivers also must be prepared to take over at any time, Tesla has said. Yet Laura MacCleery, Consumer Reports’ vicepresident of consumer policy, said naming the system Autopilot gives drivers a false sense of security. Autopilot, she wrote, can’t actually drive the car, but it lets consumers keep their hands off the steering wheel for minutes at a time.

“We’re deeply concerned that consumers are being sold a pile of promises about unproven technology,’’ she said in a statement. Earlier this month, Tesla disclosed that a Model X SUV crashed last week in Montana while the driver was using the autosteer feature on a two-lane road, which is not recommended by the company. Tesla, which gets information from its cars over the internet, said the car warned the driver at least once to place his hands on the steering wheel before it crashed. MacCleery called on the Palo Alto, Calif., company to disable automatic steering until it updates the computer program to ensure a driver’s hands are on the wheel. Consumer Reports also said Tesla should issue clearer guidance on how Autopilot is used and what its limitations are. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said he’ll provide more thorough guidance in a blog posting, and the spokeswoman said that was coming. Tesla released Autopilot last fall and says the system is still in a “public beta,’’ or testing phase. Critics have complained that Tesla is using drivers as “guinea pigs’’ — a sentiment echoed by Consumer Reports.

Register today! ANDREW SNUCINS PHOTO Richelle Vigeant goes up for a spike during her time with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. Vigeant has been named head coach of the women’s junior varsity volleyball team at Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, Sask.

Pack alumnus turns coach She has gone from the court to the bench. Former Thompson Rivers University women’s volleyball player Richelle Vigeant will help lead the Briercrest College and Seminary women’s volleyball program this season. Vigeant will be head coach of the women’s volleyball junior varsity team and will serve as varsity head coach Nolan

Weinmaster’s assistant coach at the Caronport, Sask., school. Vigeant played three years for the WolfPack in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association. She has stayed connected with volleyball in the Lower Mainland in both the high school and club ranks, where she has been coaching at the Synergy Volleyball Club and at

Frank Hurt secondary. She also has worked at several volleyball camps over the years, including at White Rock Christian Academy and Thompson Rivers. “I have been blessed to have experiences through sports that I would have otherwise never had, experiences that have shaped my life and who I am as a person in every way,” she said.

WolfPack sign U.S. hoopster Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s basketball coach Scott Clark has signed 6-foot-9 of post/forward Maalik Hazziez of Sacramento. Hazziez will join the WolfPack in September and will have three years of CIS eligibility left after spending the past two seasons playing with the American River College Beavers of California Community College Athletic Association. “He is a big body and averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game,” Clark said. “Twelve points is nice. Ten rebounds is very impressive. When you look just from a numbers perspective, we lose 20 points and 10 rebounds with Josh [Wolfram]. “Scoring can come from anywhere but getting someone who can rebound as well as Maalik is hard to find.”

Hazziez, 20, will take computer science courses at TRU. “I hadn’t looked into any schools outside of the United States prior to talking with Coach Clark,” Hazziez said. “Once I looked into the program, I found out the team is constantly improving. I know last year that they had a great season and they are a team that continues to move forward. If they continue to work they will be one of the top schools in the CIS.” Hazziez becomes the seventh recruit signed by the WolfPack for this coming season. The others are forward Ryan Miller of Valleyview secondary, guard Trent Monkman of Smithers, forward Noah Kaefer of Courtenay, guard Madhu McConnell of Victoria, guard Jass Singh of Abbotsford and guard Jordan Komarniski of South Kamloops secondary.

Troon trumps Turnberry with better golf DOUF FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TROON, Scotland — Turnberry had the bigger stars. Troon had the better golf. That, along with 20 miles of Ayrshire coastline, might be all that separates two of the most compelling duels in 156 years of the British Open. To compare anything with the 1977 British Open used to be sacrosanct. For the last four decades, the “Duel in the Sun’’ was the gold standard for headto-head battles in a major championship, which are rare. Jack Nicklaus was the best in golf with 14 majors, nearing the end of his prime at 37. Tom Watson was the emerging star, 10 years younger, who won his second major earlier that year by holding off Nicklaus to win the Masters. For two days, they put on a spectacular show. Both shot 65 in the third round and shared the lead. Nicklaus finished with a 40-foot

birdie putt for a 66 and a 269, a score that would have won any major in history to that point. That lasted only as long as it took Watson, who hit a 7-iron to about two feet on the final hole at Turnberry, to tap in his birdie for a 65 and a 268. “This is what it’s all about, isn’t it,’’ Watson said to Nicklaus on the 16th hole when they were tied. Turnberry entered the conversation Sunday at Royal Troon after four holes, when it was clear Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson had something special going. Mickelson began with an approach that danced near the cup for a tap-in birdie. Stenson answered with two straight birdies from 15 feet to regain the lead. Stenson hit his approach on the par-5 fourth hole onto the green for a two-putt birdie. Mickelson .carved a long iron into eight feet for an eagle, and they were tied again. It never stopped the rest of the way.

The greater the pressure, the better the golf until Stenson had broken one record, tied three others and won his first major. Nicklaus doesn’t watch a lot of golf on television, but he considers himself fortunate to have watched “every second’’ of this one. “Phil Mickelson played one of the best rounds I have ever seen played in the Open and Henrik Stenson just played better — he played one of the greatest rounds I have ever seen,’’ Nicklaus posted to social media. “Phil certainly has nothing to be ashamed of because he played wonderfully . . . Henrik was simply terrific.’’ And how did it measure up with his duel at Turnberry? “Our final round was really good,’’ Nicklaus said. “But theirs was even better.’’ The golf was never better. The champion never more deserving. And it will be a long time — just like after Turnberry — before this will be topped.

Investigation confirms Russians’ widespread doping KEY FINDINGS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The World Anti-Doping Agency’s executive board wants the International Olympic Committee to ban all Russian teams from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics after an independent investigation led by a Canadian law professor confirmed widespread, state-sponsored doping across many sports. Richard McLaren of Western University unveiled the report’s findings yesterday morning in Toronto. It found evidence of organized doping from late 2011 to August 2015. McLaren said labs in Moscow and Sochi protected Russian athletes. According to the report, the lab at the Sochi Olympics “operated a unique sample swapping methodology’’ that allowed Russian athletes to

compete at the 2014 Winter Games. The report also said that Russia’s Ministry of Sport “controlled and oversaw the manipulation of athlete’s analytical results or sample swapping’’ with the “active participation’’ of other government bodies, including the country’s security agency. WADA commissioned the investigation following a New York Times story in May that detailed a state-run system that helped athletes get away with cheating and win med-

als at the Sochi Games. McLaren said he is “supremely confident’’ in the report’s findings. The report does not make any recommendations. McLaren said it’s up to other sports bodies to determine the next steps. WADA called for a complete ban of Russian athletes in Rio and also wants Russian government officials to be denied access to international competitions, including the upcoming Olympics. The anti-doping

• Russia operated an organized system to thwart positive tests for banned substances from at least late 2011 to August 2015. • The Russian ministry of sport “directed, controlled and oversaw’’ the manipulation of test results with the active participation of the country’s security service, dopetesting labs and sports officials. • The dope-testing lab in Moscow was used to protect athletes using banned drugs and that employees of the lab were required to participate. • The samples from pre-selected athletes at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, had positive tests discarded through an elaborate system the report calls

Disappearing Positive Methodology (DPM). • Russian athletes in Sochi beat tests by providing clean urine samples in advance, then swapping them for the positive samples taken at the Games. The swaps involved opening supposedly tamper-proof sample bottles. • Athletes from 30 sports were included, led by athletics and weightlifting. Hockey and Paralympians were also cited, although no athletes are named in the report. • Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of the Moscow lab who first went pubic with information on state-sponsored doping, was ``a credible and truthful person,’’ as were other witnesses interviewed in the investigation.

watchdog also calls on world governing bodies of sports implicated in the inquiry report to consider action against Russian national bodies. The IOC, meanwhile, said it “will now carefully study the complex and detailed allegations, in particular with regard to the Russian Ministry of Sport.’’ “The findings of the report show a shock-

immediate sanctions surrounding the Rio Olympics. The Russian athletics team has already been banned from competing at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. Canadian Sprint kayaker Adam van Koeverden said the results of the probe are “hugely disappointing,” but something the sporting community

ing and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games,’’ IOC president Tomas Bach said in a statement. “Therefore, the IOC will not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions available against any individual or organization implicated.’’ The statement said the IOC executive board will hold a conference call to discuss

had long suspected. He was one of several Canadian athletes reacting to the independent report. Race walker Inaki Gomez said the investigation should make authorities think twice about allowing Russia to host future sports events. But he also said the report represents an opportunity to expose and clean up doping culture in sport.

A mouse costs $1, a dose of catnip costs $3 and a guinea pig costs $15.These rates are per use.The animals are stuffed toys, but Empress is rather hard on her toys. In a given day, you cannot have the same entertainment twice in a row or more than twice and you must spend over $20 (unless you really did not like those curtains). Leftover entertainment time is not allowed. How many possible entertainment programs are there for Empress if you want to keep your curtains?

Obituaries & In Memoriam Elmer Radies

October 19, 1919 - June 5, 2016

was involved. If he could add an element of excitement (aka danger) to a project, or bend the rules –all the better.

Henry William Becker March 01, 1942 – July 13, 2016

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad Elmer Radies on June 5, 2016, or as his good friend Tom Dey so aptly stated, “Elmer has officially retired”.

Men and women 25 – 30 years his junior had trouble keeping up with the pace he set. He gave 100% to everything he did and expected the same from others. He could fix anything; sometimes with just a bit of binder twine or barbed wire.

Mr. Henry William Becker entered into Rest in Kamloops, BC on July 13, 2016 at the age of 74 years.

His handshake was all you needed, and what a handshake it was, right till the very end.

Survived by his son Jim Radies (Darline), daughters Marilyn (Allan) Husted, Cathy Radies (Mal), brother Ernie (Gail) Radies and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Millie in 2012, infant son Douglas in 1956, his four sisters and three brothers.

His door was always open to family and friends – the more the merrier – and he loved to laugh.

Henry will be lovingly remembered by his dear wife Patricia, daughters Tammy (Blair) Ulrich of Calgary, Sharlene Becker of Edmonton, grandson Jason (Stephanie) Ulrich, great-grandson Dreyken, brothers Harold, Richard and sister Audrey.

Born in Romania in 1919, he immigrated to Canada with his parents and five siblings in 1929, settling outside of Hanna, AB - just as the depression took hold. After the war he made his way to Kamloops to join other family members. He met Mom at one of the many dances held at the Masonic Hall and they began their 64-year journey in 1948. Dad supported the family working in many ways, the majority of which involved mechanics or horses. He was regularly self-employed and more often than not had a hand in ranching or farming. He was involved with the Pine Tree Riding Club and The Westsyde Trail Riders but moved on to horse racing once his kids lost interest in the horse shows. Despite his unconventional method of exercising racehorses with his Willy’s Jeep, he had some amazing results, most notably his pride and joy, “Giligan’s Policy”. Dad was an incredible role model who made a huge difference in people’s lives.

Dad’s mind remained razor sharp and he enjoyed many spirited discussions on the hot topics of the day. His pet peeves were laziness, no common sense and bureaucratic red tape. Never a grumpy old man, he remained an eternal optimist, making sure his garden was planted in May despite being diagnosed with stomach cancer in April of this year. Losing Mom three and a half years ago knocked the wind from his sails, but he managed to bounce back because of the truly wonderful people in his life. We are so grateful to the neighbours/friends who played an integral part in fulfilling his wish to live independently in his own home— which he did—until eight days before his death. To: Dr. Mavis Hollman (and Teresa): the love, care, compassion and respect you showed Dad was an incredible gift for us all. To: The Angels at Hospice, you were a godsend. There will be no service by request and flowers are gratefully declined. Dad’s wish was to be cremated and his ashes spread OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

Those fortunate to have spent any time with him usually came away with an “Elmer” story. He had a huge heart and a loud voice, and things were never dull when he

Happy Trails to you Dad—you will be missed.

Henry was predeceased by his parents Ernest and Violet, brothers Grant and Ronald and sisters Elizabeth and Gladys. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 19, 2016 at 2:00 pm at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, 815 Renfrew Avenue, Kamloops, BC., Rev. David Schumacher officiating. Should friend desire, donations may be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Cresent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

Timothy “Tim” James MacDonald August 29, 1952 - July 2, 2016 Tim passed away peacefully at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home on July 2, 2016, at the age of 63 years. He was born in Rossland, B.C. and moved to Kamloops with his family, at the age of four. Tim completed his education (gr. 1-12) in South Kamloops, and attended university in Vancouver. He decided to pursue a career as a realtor in Kamloops, and worked for thirty years as a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association. He retired in the fall of 2006 and enjoyed nearly ten years of golfing, fishing, travelling and having fun. Throughout his life Tim excelled in many school sports, including baseball, hockey and basketball. In addition he took up golf at a young age at the Kamloops Golf & Country Club, and it remained a passion for him throughout his life. Tim’s other great passion was his love of fishing, which he inherited from his mother Blanche. They often spent time together during his younger years fishing in the creeks around Kamloops. This led to many wonderful adventures in the rivers, lakes and coastal areas of B.C., as well as in Cuba, Mexico and Belize. Tim developed many great and lasting friendships through these fishing trips. Lovingly remembered by his wife Carol McWilliams, brother David, sister Terry (Len), niece Julie (Mike) and family and nephew David (Nicole) and family. Tim is predeceased by his mother Blanche MacDonald, father Donald MacDonald and brother Paul MacDonald. A very special thanks to the staff and volunteers at Hospice who provided such wonderful, compassionate care to Tim. They brightened his days and made his time there so much better. In lieu of flowers, please give generously to Hospice. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 23, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, B.C.

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. With great appreciation, Ken, Jenny, Eric and Kara

He will be loving missed and remembered by his three children and grandchildren Debra (Dale) Jaeb of Kamloops, Wayne (Linda) Shawn and Travis of Salmon Arm, Keith (Janet) Jaydon, Dustin and Shea of Kamloops and brother Clarence Bakke and family of Naicam, Sask.

Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment? Family owned & operated

The simple answer is just two letters: No. You can set plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing. Or, you can protect you and your family, by pre-funding your plan. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.

Obituaries & In Memoriam “Jack” John Martin Moran 1923/07/17 – 2016/07/09

Jack Moran passed away peacefully, comforted by loved ones, just shy of his 93rd birthday.

In Loving Memory Of

Gordon John Olson December 8, 1926 - July 18, 2013

Jack is survived by his loving wife and long time companion Diana Eyden. Jack is remembered and loved by several individuals who he took under his wing as youngsters, acting as a second father, role model and mentor. Now grown men with families of their own, this extended family shares the grief of his passing. Jack was born and raised in Chilliwack, BC with his parents John and Catherine Moran. He is pre-deceased by his brother Frank Moran, his sister Kathleen, his niece Gail and his first wife Patricia Moran. As a young man, Jack enlisted in the Canadian Army and served his country with pride overseas. Upon returning home, Jack set forth building a career using his talent in mechanics and the trades. Jack had a key role in the construction of many main roadways throughout the Province of British Columbia. Settling in Kamloops, BC, Jack enjoyed a long career as the Mechanical Superintendent with the BC Forest Service. Jack enjoyed many hobbies and interests, most significantly was his love for animals. Jack enjoyed raising and riding horses and loved the ranching lifestyle. Along with Diana, Jack continued to enjoy and care for many animals into his later years. Jack was an extremely skilled handyman and gardener and always busied his days with many projects. Known for his strong mind and will, Jack was equally loved for his gentle, caring and compassionate ways. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the B.C. Ambulance Service and the physicians and nurses at Royal Inland Hospital for their kind and capable care. Our thanks to the many friends and family who have connected to share fond memories shared throughout Jack’s wonderful life. With respect to Jack’s wishes there will not be a formal funeral service. Condolences may be sent to the family via DrakeCremation.com

Breakthrough by Nel de Keijzer Santa Barbara, California

The tears of grief Have washed away The clouds of sorrow,

Gone is the face we loved so dear... Silent the voice we loved to hear. Too far away for sight or speech... But not too far for love to reach. Sweet to remember him who once was here And who, though absent is just as dear.

Missing You

Your daughter Charlotte and her family.

And vision now is clarified I miss you still, But see you new In light of joy And smile at your remembrance. The love we shared Still here to give And to experience The joy that comes from that, IS YOU!
