A panel convened by the federal Liberal government to take another look at Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain pipeline heard this week from industry advocates and opponents about the future of Canada’s energy landscape. The panel met Tuesday and yesterday at Thompson Rivers University’s Irving K. Barber Centre in wake of criticism of the National Energy Board (NEB) process. In particular, the three-person panel will make recommendations on how to improve on the NEB review for major projects and what may have been missed by its review that concluded earlier this year. “The elephant in the room is climate change,” said Kamloops Coun. Donavan Cavers, who spoke as a citizen and not as a representative of the city. The NEB did not have a mandate to look at climate change impacts from Kinder Morgan’s proposal that would see capacity tripled by addition of a new line from Edmonton to Burnaby that would largely follow the existing route, which travels through Kamloops. About 40 people attended the hearing Tuesday. Cavers and another attendee both complained about what they said was inadequate notice for the event. Cavers encouraged the three-person ministerial panel chaired by First Nations leader Kim Baird to focus on climate-change impacts from

gold-rush mentality to get it out of the ground in Alberta.

shipping more crude petroleum products to offshore markets. “I don’t understand the gold-rush mentality to get it out of the ground in Alberta,” Cavers said. “In all likelihood, the value of the commodity will only increase.” The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) presented a different case around climatechange impacts. Nick Schultz, legal counsel for CAPP, said other nations with far lower environmental standards will rush to fill demand if Canada can’t increase its exports due to pipeline constraints. Schultz noted a number of climate-change initiatives and agreements the federal and provincial governments have recently signed, including the Alberta NDP government’s new climate plan, which he called “one of the most progressive in the world. “Pipelines are needed due to [oilsands] construction,” Schultz said. “If we don’t have additional pipelines, that product will move by rail.” The City of Kamloops has signed a deal to receive $700,000 in community benefits if the pipeline goes ahead.

It has otherwise not taken a political stance, unlike many small communities that support it. Merritt Mayor Neil Menard said his community is an enthusiastic supporter, mentioning construction jobs that will come with the pipeline. “The last thing we want to see in my community is the situation [Lac Megantic rail explosion] that happened in Quebec,” he said. Merritt has similarly signed an agreement that will see it receive $400,000 should the project move ahead. Cheryl Kabloona, local chapter head of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association, accused Kinder Morgan of buying its way to approval, saying communities fear money won’t be there later if they don’t say “yes” today. “They’re a way for Kinder Morgan to basically buy social licence. It seems to introduce an element of bias in the process,” she said. Former Kamloops Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger spoke strongly in favour of the project, lauding Kinder Morgan as a good corporate citizen and pointing to its 60-year record of “spills without any consequence.”

TODAY’S FLYERS

Kamloops Mounties are looking for a suspect after a violent robbery at a North Shore gas station on Tuesday night. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police were called to the Petro-Canada gas station on Sydney Avenue at about 7:30 p.m. for a reported hold-up. Shelkie said a man entered the store and demanded the clerk open the cash drawer. “Immediately after, the male hit the attendant in the face with a baseball bat,” she said, noting the

employee suffered bruising. The suspect took cash from the drawer and lottery tickets from the counter and left the store. The clerk was taken to hospital as a precaution, but was released a short time later. The suspect is described as an unshaven white man standing fivefoot-10 with a thin build.

Bail hearing continues today TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man facing a charge of attempted murder stemming from an alleged baseball-bat beating that landed an 18-year-old high school student in a coma will be back in court today. Kristopher Teichrieb is accused of beating Jessie Simpson in the early-morning hours on June 19. Evidence presented so far at his bail hearing, which began on Monday and will resume today in Kamloops provincial court, is protected by a court-ordered publication ban. Teichrieb, 39, is accused of beating Simpson after finding the teen near or on his property. Simpson’s friends and family have said he was celebrating high school graduation with classmates 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 confronted by Teichrieb. 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.

Kristopher Teichrieb, 39 (below), is charged with attempted murder in connection to the June 19 beating of 18-year-old Jessie Simpson (above).

Riding your bike down Rivers Trail on Schubert Drive could make a cyclist dizzy. The meandering line was painted by a city employee who was perhaps following the trail slopes a bit too closely. 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

These systems slowly and precisely apply a small amount of water to minimizing evaporation, runoff and overspray.

Know how to adjust your irrigation controller

Adjust watering times based on weather conditions and for seasonal variances.

They wobble the line ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A KTW reader wasn’t too impressed with the City of Kamloops’ line painting this year after spotting this wobbly marker on the Rivers Trail near the Halston Bridge. Shawn Cook, parks operations supervisor, said the city painted the line in to divide the trail’s North Thompson leg, which follows Schubert Drive before crossing Overlanders Bridge and continuing on to Riverside Park, to try to cut down on congestion and traffic issues on the path. “Schubert, along there is probably one of the

most high-traffic areas for the Rivers Trail,” he said. “We’ve done that to keep people on the right and people on the left, no different than the road, because that section is high-traffic — people using the trail, people commuting downtown, so we’re trying to separate them.” Marking the trail section to Riverside Park cost the city $400. Cook said it appears the line painter followed the slopes of the trail too closely, hence the crooked look. The city will likely mark the trail differently next year, he said, using arrows similar to those in place on the trail in McArthur Island.

New buses, technology on way ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nearly all City of Kamloops buses will run on compressed natural gas (CNG) next year as the province adds another 19 CNG vehicles to the city’s fleet. And, within the next three years, transit users should be able to whip out their smartphone to find out precisely where the bus they are waiting for is located on the route. In an announcement Tuesday, the province said it will replace another portion of the city’s diesel fleet, following up on the 25 CNG buses rolled out in the city in 2015. Mayor Peter Milobar said compared to the city’s existing diesel models, the

new buses are more environmentally friendly — producing 30 per cent fewer greenhouse-gas emissions according to BC Transit — and use cheaper fuel. “We’re fortunate that the natural-gas tariff in Kamloops is actually one of the lowest ones in the province, we have that added benefit,” Milobar said. “So, having most of the fleet using that instead of only half of it will be another costs-savings to help keep that cost pressure under control.” A Ministry of Transportation spokesperson said the buses should arrive in late winter or spring of 2017. Once they are in service, the majority of the city’s fleet will run on CNG. The government has also pledged to bring automatic vehicle tracking to

Kamloops, allowing riders to access real-time information about buses in service, and reiterated its pledge to install closed-circuit security cameras. “The real-time tracking will be a huge benefit to people in this day and age who benefit from being able to know if the bus is running early or a bit late, especially in bad weather,” Milobar said. It’s not clear how soon either feature will make its way to the city. According to the Ministry of Transportation, the features should be available provincewide within three years, but which communities will get the technology first remains to be seen. How riders will access the tracking data is still in the works.

An increase in the city’s hotel tax is needed to compete with other markets and their increasing budgets, said the president of the Kamloops Accommodation Association. Hoteliers will vote this summer whether to renew an agreement to charge guests a hotel tax that goes to Tourism Kamloops to market the region. The current tax is two per cent.

Other markets are poised to move the tax higher. “We’re competing with markets that have fairly robust budgets,” Beltrano said. “Anything will help.” Fifty-two properties in Kamloops are eligible to cast a ballot. In order for the measure to pass, a majority of properties representing a majority of rooms in the city must vote in favour. Results of the measure are expected by the end of summer.

Hunter wants to appeal quasi-guilty court decision TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown wants a B.C. Supreme Court judge to keep a Kamloops hunter accused of poaching a record-setting sheep in the Yukon from appealing the decision of a lower court last year that said he was guilty — sort of. In October, Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame issued a ruling stating the Crown had proven beyond a reasonable doubt its case against Abe Dougan, who stood trial on 12 poaching charges. Frame followed that ruling immediately with another decision, issuing judicial stays of proceedings on all counts — effectively tossing the charges and allowing Dougan to walk out of the courtroom without sanction. The charges were thrown out, Frame said, because the Crown took too long to bring them to trial. Dougan’s record-setting Dall sheep was killed in 1999. He was charged in 2012 and the trial didn’t begin until the summer of 2014. The Crown initially filed to appeal Frame’s decision to stay the charges, which was followed by a cross-appeal from Dougan. The Crown withdrew its appeal in March, but Dougan’s appeal is still on the books. On Tuesday, Crown prosecutor Mark Erina asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan to shut down Dougan’s appeal before it starts. Dougan is appealing his conviction, Erina said, but he was never convicted. Though Frame’s ruling stated the Crown had proven its case, she stopped short of entering convictions on Dougan’s record — presumably because she knew the stays of proceedings were coming. It has created an unusual situation. “For the purposes of determining Mr. Dougan’s appellate rights, there is no conviction against which he can appeal,” Erina said. “There’s a judgment out there which essentially says he’s guilty. I don’t think that’s what he wanted with his stay of proceedings.” Dougan sought judicial stays of proceedings due to delay. His lawyer filed the application to Frame and did the majority of the arguing over the six court days it took to hear it. “It’s a remedy he sought — the benefit, but also the burden,” Erina said. “That’s a choice he made. The judicial stay has to go before Mr. Dougan can appeal.” Court heard Frame’s decision stating

WWW.SAHALICENTREMALL.COM the Crown had proven its case against Dougan could make it impossible for him to re-establish his career as a hunting guide. Dougan’s Big Boar Outfitters is not listed in the member directory of the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C. “This finding has significant ramifications for him as a guide outfitter,” defence lawyer Kevin Church said. “This is what he does. He is a guide outfitter.” Church said conservation authorities can look at such issues in determining whether Dougan can work as a hunting guide. “The regional manager can consider if a person in Mr. Dougan’s situation is convicted of an offence under the [Wildlife] Act . . . or another cause that the regional manager feels reasonable,” he said. “Mr. Dougan’s livelihood certainly depends on his guide outfitter certificate.” Erina said Dougan’s stays of proceedings were “tantamount to an acquittal,” but Church argued against that. “This isn’t an acquittal,” he said. “This is Judge Frame saying the Crown proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt.” Donegan reserved her decision on Tuesday. A date for her judgment has not been set. Dougan was charged following a hightech investigation on the part of Yukon conservation authorities that used 3D mapping software to locate a mountain range seen in the background of a picture in a big-game hunting record book. The photo of Dougan and the trophy

sheep was published in the Big Game Records of B.C. record book. Dougan claimed the record-setting Dall sheep was killed in a specific area in northwest B.C. in which he was allowed to hunt. Using 3D mapping software, investigators in the Yukon were able to find a perfect match for the photo’s backdrop 18 kilometres north of the B.C./Yukon border — an area where he was not supposed to hunt. In 2011, investigators flew a helicopter to the Yukon location they found with the mapping software. They took a photograph of the backdrop, which was entered as evidence during Dougan’s trial to be compared to the photo from the record book. The photos bear a number of striking similarities. The record-setting sheep isn’t the only animal that has landed Dougan in hot legal water. He’s slated to stand trial in November in Williams Lake on three charges dating back to 2013 — hunting wildlife within six hours of being airborne, unlawful possession of dead wildlife and failure to accompany a person guided. Last year, he was convicted in a Yukon court on charges alleging he wasted meat from sheep, caribou and moose killed in 2011 and hunted too soon after being airborne. In that instance, Dougan was leading a Wyoming hunter looking for stone sheep. The American hunter was fined $11,500 and barred from hunting in the Yukon for 10 years. Dougan was fined $15,000 and given a 20-year ban on hunting in the Yukon.

A YEAR UNTIL SOME CLARITY

anadians have a right to access medicinal marijuana. That was a February Supreme Court of Canada decision that has set in motion a flurry of activity in Ottawa — and in many communities across B.C. The court gave the federal government a deadline to come up with new legislation that would keep pace with their decision. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are now working on those laws they say should be ready by the summer of 2017. Last week, the Liberals announced they would form a task force of learned individuals to hit the road and talk to Canadians as part of a public consultation requirement en route to the big changes. People wanting to get in on the ground floor of a new medicinal cannabis distribution industry are not waiting until then. In cities and towns all over — and that Kamloops — storefronts are being opened. They are, technically, illegal under current Health Canada laws. However, they are playing off the large grey area created by the court decision and the subsequent vacuum between it and Ottawa’s political process. That leaves many communities wondering what to do. In Vancouver, Kamloops and elsewhere, the position is wait and see how Ottawa proceeds. In Nanaimo, Chilliwack and elsewhere, the response is to enforce the law to the letter — including dotting the i’s, crossing the t’s and shutting down dispensaries. One need only look at the governing Liberals’ stance, and glance at the growing number of states south of the 49th parallel, to understand times have changed for good. Reefer Madness will return to being the name of a ridiculous antimarijuana documentary of yesteryear and no longer a reference to the heavy hand law takes with the substance. By this time next year, the criminality of using marijuana should be abolished, but how and where it is sold remains the biggest mystery — and one that carries with it a lucrative revelation.

How to tell when you are missing the point

f you call yourself an “equalist” or endorse the hashtag #AllLivesMatter, then you’re missing the point. The point is we are not equal. #BlackLivesMatter exists because police brutality toward black minorities is an ongoing issue. The recent shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota and the killing of five officers in Dallas and three in Baton Rouge should raise light to that. Using hashtags to deem ourselves “equal” is putting a lid on the real issues and failing to recognize why groups such as Black Lives Matter exist in the first place. Think of it this way, from a reference in Macklemore’s White Privilege II: a fire truck doesn’t show up and put water on all the houses because all houses matter; a fire truck sprays water on the house that is burning because that is the house that needs help. Of course all lives matter, but that goes without saying. What we need to focus on are the minority groups who need the help. I enjoy the firing back on Twitter of #Notalllivesmatter because it’s true.

CARLI BERRY

Guest

SHOT The founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto is also against the use of #AllLivesMatter, with good reason. Not only minority groups should support this. As a white, middle-class woman, I recognize I need to discuss these issues and add my voice. But for equality to happen, we must first recognize that living in denial is not the course to take. In recent events, Black Lives Matter has made a name for itself, sparking controversy for its tactics, which also seem to be effective in getting its name recognized. The group started in 2012 after the acquittal in Florida of George Zimmerman for the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin, according to the group’s website. The group’s main initia-

tive is to spark debate around state violence pertaining to racism in the black community. According to the CBC, Black Lives Matter Toronto met with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory. The protest at Toronto’s recent Pride Parade proved to be effective in sparking debate and gaining media coverage, even if not all of its demands will be met. The group stopped the parade for 30 minutes, refusing to let it continue until demands were met, one of which was, unfortunately, for police floats to be banned from the parade. Although creating controversy seems to be the goal, the group’s message is one that needs to be addressed. Sometimes, people need a box to be able to see over that fence, while others are tall enough to see without it. If you believe in equality, you’ll consider stepping off that box and handing it to someone who needs it. Carli Berry is a reporter with the Vernon Morning Star.

Yes, another fentanyl overdose was happening. I would have ignored it and carried on with my day due to my passive observance. I want to alert others to the terrible opiate killer, fentanyl, which is taking too many lives. Wake up and watch out for these signs: limp, can’t walk or talk, slow pulse, shallow breathing, feels cold. Call 911 and try to have a Naloxone kit on hand to use. It is not a time to turn the other cheek and be indifferent. Val Woolgar Kamloops

REFLECTING ON BOOTH SHOOTINGS Editor: Your amateur historian, Brant Zwicker, has a good story, but is a little short of facts (‘Why? Revisiting that deadly day of June 18, 1962,’ June 24). The headline Why? was answered by the fact Booth’s father was the one who had him committed to Essondale. But he told his son the RCMP were the ones that had done it, so when Booth was released, he came home with a grudge against the police.

He went into one of the government offices in that building on Columbia Street knowing full well that if he went in waving a gun around and threatening people, someone would call the police. He came into town to confront some policemen. Booth went outside fully prepared to shoot some police officers. Officer Keck did not hit Booth, causing him to drop his gun, as he still had his gun and was shooting at the officers later. If I remember correctly, there was

an aircraft that he shot at, too. Officer White went home to get his own personal rifle as he knew the pistols they were using were useless at that distance. White engaged Booth and shot him. In doing so, he was creased as well. He was lucky or it could have been four victims. It was a sad day and I’m sure made many people realize just what we ask of our police officers.

NOT FANS OF GENDER-NEUTRAL WASHROOM Editor: Re: (‘Gender-neutral washroom opens in Riverside Park,’ July 19): Has the world gone mad and lost any common sense it ever had? In cities where this has become the politically correct thing to do, already the horrors are piling up: children assaulted, attempted kidnappings and sexual assault. Some of the stories from the states that established these washrooms some time ago are sickening. There is no way I would allow children go alone into a gender-neutral washroom, where perverts could lurk. A little girl doesn’t need to be traumatized by a man

stripping in front of her, mouthing obscenities. Boys aren’t safe, either. And in Riverside Park, of all places? Audrey Wright Kamloops Editor: This is a issue of no significance being motivated politically and judicially, propagated through the media. It is demagoguery at its best. We had these genderneutral sites called outhouses in the not-too-distant past open to all who needed to use one. They were gender-neutral for all. Frank Desmet Kamloops

A prolific Kamloops runaway who has been the subject of multiple missing persons notices from police in recent months will spend the rest of the summer in jail to stop her from violating her bail. The 15-year-old girl, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, a day after she was arrested by police. Court heard she was released on bail last week after pleading guilty to a number of charges, with a sentencing hearing set for Sept. 2. “[She] lasted about four hours and was AWOL,” defence lawyer Graham Kay told court. “She’s been AWOL since then and she was picked up at a McDonald’s yesterday.” Kay said the girl’s social workers are running out of ideas as to how to deal with her and have expressed concern about her capacity to understand the seriousness of her offending and how she might change moving forward. “She’s building up quite a record in this court,” Kay said, calling her “a highly vulnerable youth.” “There has been significant trauma in her life. She’s been the victim of multiple sexual assaults.” Kay asked for the girl to be kept in custody until her Sept. 2 sentencing — on the understanding she will undergo a psychiatric assessment while behind bars — but Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison was hesitant to keep the young girl locked that long. “It’s just not practical to get an assessment done out of custody with [her],” Kay said. Harrison agreed to keep the girl in custody for a 30-day assessment and revisit the matter after that. She’s slated to appear in court by video on Aug. 18.

Renewed search efforts for missing Merritt man Dean Morrison failed to turn up any clues on the weekend. On Saturday, private investigator firm BCSI Investigations, two drone teams and Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSAR) crews scoured parts of the Stump Lake Ranch and nearby ditches along Highway 5A for signs of Morrison, who was last seen on the property nearly three years ago. He had been working at the ranch as a contracted painter and went missing on Oct. 22, 2013. While investigators didn’t find new evidence, footage taken from drones used in the search may still bear fruit. Two teams from Hummingbird Drones were used in the search and gathered about five hours of footage, which still needs to be reviewed, said KSAR manager Alan Hobler. Drones were not used in previous searches for Morrison, though an RCMP helicopter was pressed into service. KSAR vice-president Allan Mole said the drones were used to examine bodies of water and other parts of the property not otherwise easily accessible. A drone’s-eye view has the benefit of being able to look clearly into a lake. “You can imagine being 30 feet above the lake and looking straight down into the lake and reducing all that glare and being able to see into the water,” Hobler said. The aircraft was also useful in the search because it can fly into canyons, where it’s dangerous to send a searcher or fly a helicopter, Hobler said. Two small lakes were exam-

ined by the drones, but a thunderstorm rolled in before searchers could fly them over Stump Lake. Hobler said they still intend to fly the vehicles over the lake. Signs of clothing are what they are primarily looking to find in the footage, Hobler said. “The assumption is he is still out there on the property and we’re looking for some trace of him,” Hobler said. He said they haven’t been able to substantiate the theory that Morrison may have committed suicide on the property, although teams are searching for anything that might indicate Morrison’s fate.

Three years removed from the disappearance, Hobler said they are not looking for a body as it would be decomposed by now. Mole said members and search dogs focused on ravines and wooded areas near the ranch, as well as in the timbergrassland interface. Buildings on the property were not focused on as previous searches investigated those areas thoroughly he said. BCSI Investigations president Denis Ganon said the investigation will now extend into Merritt as there was a potential sighting of Morrison in the community on the night he went missing.

Proposed beef processing may create 180 jobs CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A proposed beef-processing plant in Prince George could be a boon to B.C. agriculture and result in more profits for ranchers, according to the manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association. Kevin Boon was in Prince George last week for the announcement of federal and provincial funding toward a business study to be done by his association. An earlier business plan found a federally inspected plant could create 180 direct new jobs. Boon said interest is high among investors, but noted his association wants to complete due diligence, in part because of a history of failure in British Columbia. “We’ve had a lot of interest with investors wanting to build a plant in B.C., but not having the experience,” he said. The vast majority of beef cattle in B.C. is sent to Alberta for fattening, slaughter and production. Any processing plant in the north would have to be accompanied by development of feedlots. Boon said one benefit is the availability of grain in the Nechako and Peace River regions. The earlier business plan looked at a $25-million plant that would process 1,000 head of cattle per week, with the ability to double capacity with another $3 million in investment. The emphasis would be on catering to niche markets. The investment would be private. “We’d do in one week what Cargill [in High River, Alta.] does in a shift,” Boon said. In addition to the contribution to the provincial economy, Boon said the plant could result in higher prices for B.C. cattle. He likened it to a “chop shop” for cars, where parts are sold to specific customers, rather than selling the entire unit at a discount. “Certain markets and cultures will pay more for certain parts,” Boon said. The study is expected to be completed by March of next year.

Former B.C. staffer fined for ‘triple delete’ charges TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A former ministerial assistant to Transportation Minister Todd Stone has been fined $2,500 after pleading guilty to two charges for his role in a complaint about deleted government emails. George Gretes was charged under the Freedom of Information and Protection of

Privacy Act for “willfully making false statements to mislead, or attempt to mislead” the Information and Privacy Commissioner. Commissioner Elizabeth Denham referred the case to police after Gretes testified in her investigation that he didn’t delete a series of emails from a subordinate’s computer during a search in response to a freedom of information request.

Gretes resigned in October 2015 when Denham released her report on the 2014 incident, which found that Gretes had used another employee’s computer to “triple delete” a series of emails. Stone has maintained that the deleted emails were not the official records dealing with community meetings about improving travel options along Highway 16 in northern B.C.,

which was the subject of the request. The ministry has since released hundreds of pages of records about the project. The incident prompted Premier Christy Clark to order all political staff in the government to keep all emails as the procedure for handling electronic communications is updated. Former privacy commission-

er David Loukidelis reviewed the case and recommended that non-partisan public servants should decide what records should be kept and what can be destroyed as duplicate or transitory messages. Loukidelis warned that with hundreds of millions of emails sent and received each year, trying to evaluate every message would cause the B.C. government to “grind to a halt.”

Chronic Ailments PM vows new child Relief Below:

NATIONAL NEWS

benefit will help reduce poverty CAMILLE BAINS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — More than one year ago, Justin Trudeau stood in Dinty’s restaurant in Gatineau, Que., and promised a new child benefit that would help low-income Canadians. Yesterday, he stood in the same restaurant and pointed to almost $1.74 billion in new Canada child benefit payments rolled out that morning to more than three-million families. And in one year’s time, the government is promising that some 300,000 children will no longer be living in poverty after 12 months of payments under the new benefit plan. “That is something that we are committed to,’’ Trudeau said. “This is, according to many antipoverty activists, one of the most significant measures any country has taken in terms of addressing child poverty and addressing poverty in general.’’ During last year’s election campaign, the Liberals promised to lift about 315,000 children out of poverty by handing out a benefit that would add to family income. The estimate was based on a review by outside economists and experts at the Library of Parliament. Once in power, federal officials ran the numbers and estimated 284,000 children would be lifted out of poverty in the provinces, a further 900 in the territories and 8,000 onreserve aboriginal children. The average family will see $2,300 a year under the new payments, with the maximum of $6,400 per child under six going to families with net incomes of less than $30,000. The value of the benefit drops as incomes rise, phasing out entirely around $189,000, according to the government’s online benefits calculator. Research conducted for the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto found lowincome families in receipt of child benefits generally spent the extra money on groceries, child care and transportation. Those same families also spent less on alcohol and tobacco, a result that could mean the extra money reduces financial stress and the need to use booze and cigarettes as a crutch. Conservative critic Karen Vecchio said some families may not get as much as they think under the new benefit because of other taxes and clawbacks the Liberals are looking to bring in, including higher Canada Pension Plan premiums.

High Blood Pressure Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

The new benefit replaces the Conservatives’ Universal Care Benefit, income splitting for families and tax credits for arts and sports programs for kids. “There are going to be taxes put on families and so they’re giving with one hand and taking with the other,’’ Vecchio said. But the new benefit won’t count as income, meaning it won’t be taxed at the end of the year or count against other income-tested benefits like provincial housing supplements. Nor is it indexed to inflation, unlike benefits under the Canada Pension Plan, for example. That could become a long-term issue as the rising cost of living erodes the benefit’s value, said Lindsay Tedds, an associate professor in the school of public administration at the University of Victoria. NDP critic Jenny Kwan said she is concerned that because of data gaps, families like those living on First Nations reserves may not receive the benefit. Only half of aboriginal families on reserve file their taxes — and it is through tax returns that the government calculates the new benefit. “What’s worse, even for those families that do see an increase in benefits, an average of $6 a day does not come close to covering the rising cost of child care,’’ Kwan said. While the benefit is intended to help low- and middle-income earners, there is an argument to send child benefits to wealthy families because raising children isn’t cheap and the costs cut into any family’s ability to pay taxes even at higher income levels, Tedds said. “To the extent that we should be worried about families with income over $180,000, it’s not obviously high on the concern list, but we do have to remember that our system is based off of ability to pay. “And families with kids, regardless of their income, face expenses that families without kids don’t,’’ she said. “We have no way to reconcile that fact for higher income households now.’’

DONALD TRUMP: $100 bet will return $275 if he wins the election in November.

GEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Most Canadians can’t vote in the U.S. presidential election, but it hasn’t stopped many from using their cash to voice an opinion on who they think will win. The B.C. Lottery Corporation is taking online novelty bets on the American election and spokesman Doug Cheng said there has been rapid growth in wagers since Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign began to gain momentum. Cheng said U.S. election bets have become the highest earner on the website’s novelty betting category, surpassing the Oscars. As of yesterday, the site,

playnow.com, has the odds of Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the White House at 1.46 (meaning a $100 bet will return $146 if Clinton triumphs in November). Trump’s odds yesterday were 2.75 (meaning a $100 bet will return $275 if Trump is victorious in the election). In B.C., Cheng said, 38 per cent of people placing bets have their money on Clinton becoming president, compared with 25 per cent for Trump. But the BCLC site can also be used in Manitoba and Cheng said the majority of people there have their money on the Republican candidate winning in November. The corporation’s oddsmakers are constantly tracking the presidential race, adjusting the odds

with every policy announcement and gaffe. There have been stark changes in Trump’s odds, Cheng said. In January 2015, they were set at 100 to 1, and a $100 bet that the businessman would become president would earn $10,000. “I think that shows how he shaved his odds and how he went from being the underdog to being a viable option, economics-wise,’’ Cheng said. The largest bet made for Trump so far has been about $1,700 and there have been three wagers over $1,000, while there have been two bets of more than $2,000 for Clinton. This isn’t the first time BCLC has taken bets on U.S. politics. It started in 2014 and Cheng

said they were the first jurisdiction in Canada to do so. “This is a fun way for British Columbians to take part in the election, even though most of us can’t vote in the U.S.,” he said. Canadians usually follow American presidential elections quite closely because the results can have an impact north of the border, Cheng added, noting this race is a bit different. “I think this election in particular is garnering even more attention because I think you have a person like Donald Trump who is such a dynamic and yet controversial candidate just dominating the headlines — and I think you see that transferring over to our wagering,” he said.

Care to wager on the U.S. presidential election? Canadian politics. The site also offers wagers on myriad other novelty bets, including many more on the U.S. and UK political scene, along with entertainment proposals. And, BCLC is even looking up — way up — as it has a standing offer to take bets on the existence of alien life. The proposal: “When will alien life be proven? Settled on the sitting President of the USA making a statement confirming without doubt the existence of alternative, intelligent life beings from another planet. Novelty betting rules apply.” The tightest odds — 1.01:1 — are 2020 or later, while the biggest payday would occur in 2018 or 2019, at 70:1 odds.

Reported crimes on rise OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the number of crimes reported to police went up last year for the first time in 12 years. The crime severity index, which measures the volume of reports and how serious they are, rose five per cent in 2015. But the agency said that’s still 31 per cent lower than it was a decade ago. The overall crime rate also rose, by three per cent, but Statistics Canada notes the last time a rate increase was reported was 2003. The agency said the rise in both measurements was due to more incidents of fraud, breaking and entering, robbery and homicide. It said there were almost 1.9-million Criminal Code incidents, excluding traffic, reported in 2015, 70,000 more than the year before. — The Canadian Press

Premiers close in on agreement SUPPORT FOR INQUIRY INTO MISSING, MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

WHITEHORSE — Provincial and territorial premiers say there’s a high degree of support for an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said individual provinces may have specific concerns, but added there is significant consensus among her colleagues going forward. Quebec’s Philippe Couillard said his province wants to ensure allegations in his province of police sexual abuse of aboriginal women are included. He said it would be better to have one inquiry rather than two parallel investigations. The federal government is expected to release details about the inquiry shortly. The premiers are in Whitehorse for their annual summer meeting. They were talking with aboriginal leaders yesterday before two days of discussions about other issues that are expected to include freer trade across jurisdictional boundaries. Host premier Darrell Pasloski said Tuesday the leaders are focused on an agreement that would allow provinces and territories to do business with each other in the same way Canada trades with other countries with which it has free-trade deals. “In the end, we want to see an agreement come forward,’’ he said in advance of the meeting. “It’s ridiculous you can’t buy B.C.

wine in Ontario when you can buy it almost anywhere else around the world,’’ said B.C. Premier Christy Clark. Clark said the interprovincial deal is close, but only after intense negotiations. “President [Barack] Obama says democracy means compromising even when you are 100 per cent right,’’ she said. “And what’s happened around the table is every province has been convinced they’re 100 per cent right, but nonetheless has found a way to compromise.’’ B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan signed their own free-trade alliance, the New West Partnership, in April 2010 to improve labour mobility and cut bureaucracy. It was fully implemented in 2013. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not attending the meetings, but the federal presence casts a long shadow over the talks. Speaking in Gatineau, Que., Trudeau cited recent negotiations on the Canada Pension Plan as a sign that provinces can work together. “Canadians expect their leaders to work together to figure things out in the best interests of Canadians and that’s exactly what I know the premiers are focusing on doing in Whitehorse,’’ he said yesterday. The premiers are also expected to discuss health care, climate change and pension reform. Political scientist Hamish Telford said the meetings allow the premiers

to map strategy and co-ordinate their approaches to the federal government on often-complicated and costly issues. “If every time the prime minister shows up to meet with the premiers, and there are 13 different propositions on the table, they’ll never get anything done,’’ said Telford, who teaches at the University of the Fraser Valley. “But if they go to a [Council of the Federation] meeting and winnow it down to one or at best two propositions or proposals, then they’ve got a position that the federal government can work with.’’ One proposition that is guaranteed will be a call for more health-care funding, he said. The federal Liberals promised to negotiate a new health accord with the provinces and territories, including a long-term deal on funding. “I know there will be a conversation at the table of what the expectations are across the country,’’ said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. Premier Dwight Ball of Newfoundland and Labrador said his cash-strapped province faces a spike in medical costs as the population ages. Wynne and Clark expressed confidence a new Canada Pension Plan deal will be ratified, but probably not at the Whitehorse meetings. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said she will discuss the need for pipelines to tidewater along, with disaster response and recovery after the Fort McMurray wildfire.

Approach to opioid addiction gets nod GEORDON OMAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A made-in-Canada approach to treating opioid addiction is garnering positive international attention from one of the world’s most widely circulated medical publications. The Journal of the American Medical Association has published a review of guidelines developed by a pair of health authorities in British Columbia aimed at educating health-care providers about how best to treat opioid-use disorder. One of the guidelines’ authors, Dr. Keith Ahamad, said the protocols are the first to provide an evidence-based, gradual approach for how family doctors can best

help someone addicted to opioids. He said they suggest doing away with some traditional strategies that were found to be ineffective or even harmful. The recommendations include discouraging rapid detoxification as a remedy and encouraging the use of suboxone, rather than methadone, as a first-line treatment. Suboxone is a mixture of two drugs and has been shown in studies to be six times safer than methadone, Ahamad said. Dr. Evan Wood chaired the committee responsible for developing the guidelines and said the medical journal’s recognition will hopefully generate interest and focus attention on the need to modernize addictions treatment. “We spend huge money on the consequences of addiction, but we haven’t tradi-

tionally made the investments in a thoughtful approach to the prevention and effective treatment of addiction,’’ he said. “Hopefully, we’re beginning to turn the corner with that.’’ Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health released the Guideline for the Clinical Management of Opioid Addiction in November 2015, several months before a surge in illicit drug deaths prompted B.C.’s chief doctor to declare a public-health emergency. Ahamad hopes attention from the American Medical Association’s journal will provide both validation and attention to the B.C. guidelines and contribute to their adoption elsewhere. “Right now the reality is [that] across the country, patients with addiction are bounc-

ing in and out of family doctors’ offices,’’ he said. “We need at that moment to give them the treatment that they need that can potentially save their lives, no different than treating blood pressure and diabetes.’’ Data from the B.C. Coroners Service show there were 371 illicit drug overdose deaths in the province in the first half of 2016, a nearly 75 per cent increase over the same period last year. The deadly opioid fentanyl was detected in more than half of those cases, about a two-fold increase from the previous year. The Journal of the American Medical Association estimates there are about 2.5-million people in the United States with opioid addiction and that nearly 29,000 died in 2014 as a result of an opioid overdose.

Link between laid-off Canadians and enrolment ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A new Statistics Canada study says there are significant correlations between job layoffs and full-time enrolment in post-secondary education. To help illustrate its findings, the report released Tuesday said men who lost their jobs in 2008 — at

the start of the recession — were five times more likely to register for post-secondary education than those who weren’t laid off. The research found 3.1 per cent of men who lost their jobs that year went back to school on a full-time basis. In contrast, only 0.6 per cent of men who didn’t lose their jobs between 2001 and 2011 enrolled in

full-time, post-secondary schooling. Among women laid off in 2008, 3.1 per cent of them enrolled full time in a post-secondary institution, compared with one per cent of women who didn’t lose their jobs between 2001 and 2011. The goal of the paper was to take a closer look at how people respond after losing their job, or even when they anticipate a pos-

sible layoff. “While it is well documented that many displaced workers experience substantial and persistent earnings losses, the extent to which they enrol in [post-secondary] institutions after job loss remains — to a large extent — unknown,’’ said the report, co-authored by Wen Ci, Marc Frenette and Rene Morissette. “The substantial increases in

full-time enrolment observed among men and women displaced in 2008 suggest that adult workers respond to job loss by enrolling full time in [post-secondary] institutions.’’ The study also found that, in general, workers laid off between 2001 to 2011 were two to four percentage points more likely than other workers to go to school.

GLOBAL VIEWS

In Turkey, democracy is dead — coup or no coup

urkey’s democracy is dead. It was dying anyway as President Recep Tayyib Erdogan took over media outlets, arrested political opponents and journalists, and even re-started a war with the Kurds last autumn in order to win an election. But once part of the army launched a coup attempt last Friday night, it was dead no matter which way the crisis ended. It wasn’t a very competent coup attempt. The first rule of coup-making is: arrest or kill the person you are trying to overthrow. The coup leaders should have been able to grab Erdogan, who was on holiday at the seaside resort of Marmaris, but they didn’t. They didn’t shut down the Internet and social media either, so

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH Erdogan was able to use his cellphone to get a message out on FaceTime, calling on his supporters to defy soldiers on the streets of Istanbul and Ankara. They didn’t even shut down the broadcast media that sent Erdogan’s call out to the public. It was three hours before they occupied the offices of TRT, the state broadcaster, and they were chased out again by Erdogan less than an hour later.

They didn’t ever try to shut down the private television networks, which have a much bigger audiences. The second rule of coup-making is: act as if you mean it. This usually means you have to be willing to kill people — but the colonels behind the coup (the generals were all vetted by Erdogan’s people) were largely reluctant to use lethal force. This is laudable, in human terms, but if you are trying to overthrow the rule of a ruthless man who aspires to absolute control, it is a bad mistake. They took control of Istanbul Airport, but they were chased out again by Erdogan’s supporters because they were not willing to shoot them — and Erdogan flew back into the city. Maybe the coupmakers were just too short of troops to grab

control of everything they needed to make the coup work. Maybe, also, they were afraid to order their troops to carry out a massacre because Turkey’s is a conscript army and many of its young soldiers — basically civilians in uniform for one year — might simply refuse to kill their fellow citizens. At any rate, they didn’t use massive violence in Istanbul (42 people were reportedly killed in Ankara) and so they were soon in retreat. But there can be no happy ending to this episode. Democracy would obviously have been dead if the rebels won. Almost exactly half of Turkey’s voters backed Erdogan in the last election, so a military regime would have had to stay in power for a long time. It would not have dared to hold a free election and risk Erdogan returning to power.

It would have been equally dead if the coup had partially succeeded and the army had really split, for that would have meant civil war. Mercifully, that possibility has now disappeared, but democracy will be dead in Turkey even if the coup is utterly defeated. A triumphant Erdogan will seize this opportunity to complete his take-over of all the major state organizations and the media and become (as his followers often call him) the Sultan of Turkey. That is a tragedy because five or 10 years ago, Turkey seemed well on the way to being the sort of democracy, with free media and the rule of law, where a coup like this was simply inconceivable. When Erdogan won his first election in 2002, promising to remove all the restrictions pious Muslims suffered under

the rigidly secular constitution, it seemed a reasonable step forward in the democratization process. He kept his promises about that, but gradually he went further, trying to Islamize the country against the strong opposition of the half of the population that favours a secular state. Luckily for Erdogan, the Turkish economy was booming, so he went on winning elections — and he worked steadily to concentrate all power in his own office. He removed any officials who were not his avid supporters, attacked the freedom of the media and committed Turkey to unconditional support for the Islamist rebels in neighbouring Syria. The rebel army officers may have been trying to stop all that, but it was a terrible mistake for which they will suffer severe punishment. So will anybody who

is even suspected of having sympathized with them and Erdogan will emerge as the all-powerful Sultan of a postdemocratic Turkey. The coup leaders made the same mistake as the Egyptian liberals made when they asked the army to overthrow the elected president there in 2013. Egypt had a feared and hated president, but it also had a democracy which provided a peaceful means of ousting him. Erdogan’s popularity would have dwindled with time. The Turkish economy is stagnant, his Syrian policy is a disaster and the flagrant corruption of the people around him is getting hard to ignore. Sooner or later, he would have lost an election. But like the Egyptian liberals, the officers who led the Turkish coup didn’t trust democracy enough to wait. gwynnedyer.com

The pitfall of self-driving cars Plans for automated systems rely too heavily on drivers’ ability to take over JOAN LOWY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Experts say the development of self-driving cars over the coming decade depends on an unreliable assumption by many automakers: that the humans in them will be ready to step in and take control if the car’s systems fail. Instead, experience with automation in other modes of transportation like aviation and rail suggests that the strategy will lead to more deaths like that of a Florida Tesla driver in May. Decades of research shows that people have a difficult time keeping their minds on boring tasks like monitoring systems that rarely fail and hardly ever require them to take action. The human brain continually seeks stimulation. If the mind isn’t engaged, it will wander until it finds something more interesting to think about. The more reliable the system, the more likely it is that attention will wane. Automakers are in the process of adding increasingly automated systems that effectively drive cars in some or most circumstances, but still require the driver as a backup in case the

vehicle encounters a situation unanticipated by its engineers. Tesla’s Autopilot, for example, can steer itself within a lane and speed up or slow down based on surrounding traffic or on the driver’s set speed. It can change lanes with a flip of its signal, automatically apply brakes, or scan for parking spaces and parallel park on command. Joshua Brown, a 40-year-old tech company owner from Canton, Ohio, who was an enthusiastic fan of the technology, was killed when neither he nor his Tesla Model S sedan’s Autopilot braked for a truck making a left turn on a highway near Gainsville, according to federal investigators and the automaker.

to keep their hands on the wheel even though Autopilot is driving, or the vehicle will automatically slow to a stop. A self-driving system Audi plans to introduce in its 2018 A7, which the company says will be the most advanced on the market, monitors drivers’ head and eye movements, and automatically slows the car if the driver’s attention is diverted.

But Brown’s failure to brake means he either didn’t see the truck in his path or saw it too late to respond — an indication he was relying on the automation and his mind was elsewhere, said Missy Cummings, director of Duke University’s Humans and Autonomy Laboratory. The truck driver said he had heard a Harry Potter video playing in the car after the crash.

“Drivers in these quasi- and partial modes of automation are a disaster in the making,’’ Cummings said. “If you have to rely on the human to see something and take action in anything less than several seconds, you are going to have an accident like we saw.’’ Operators — an airline pilot, a train engineer or car driver — can lose aware-

autopilot to disconnect, catching pilots by surprise. Confused, they caused an otherwise flyable plane to stall and fall from the sky, killing 228 people. Planes and trains have had automation “for 20, 30 years and there are still times when they’re like, ‘Wow, we didn’t expect that to happen,’’’ Molloy said. See Drivers, page A24

Part of the problem is overconfidence in the technology causes people to think they can check out. Not long after Tesla introduced its Autopilot system, people were posting videos of cars with the self-driving mode engaged cruising down tree-lined roads or even highways with no one in the driver’s seat. Brown, for example, had posted videos lauding the Autopilot system and demonstrating it in action. “There is a tendency of people to take one ride in

one of these vehicles and then conclude that because they have not crashed over the course of 10 minutes that the system must be ready,’’ said Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina professor who studies the technology. Some experts think the ability of people to monitor autonomous systems may be getting worse. With the advent of smartphones, people are accustomed to having their desire for mental stimulation satisfied immediately. “Go into Starbucks, for example,’’ said Cummings.

“No one can just patiently wait in line, they’re all doing something on their phones. It’s kind of pathetic.’’ Some automakers may be rethinking their approach. Two years ago, General Motors announced it would start selling a Cadillac in the fall of 2016 that would almost drive itself on freeways. But in January the company confirmed that the project has been delayed for an unspecified reason. In briefings, company executives said they were waiting to perfect methods of assuring that the driver pays attention to the road

even when the system is on. The system, called “Super Cruise,’’ will use cameras and radar to keep the car in the centre of a lane and also stay a safe distance behind cars in front of it. The system will bring the car to a complete stop without driver action if traffic halts, and it can keep the car going in stop-and-go traffic. But it’s designed for use only on limited-access divided highways. Google, meanwhile, is aiming for a car that’s fully self-driving and may not even have a steering wheel or brake pedals.

U.S. says autos can meet 2025 fuel economy targets DEE-ANN DURBIN AND TOM KRISHER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — The U.S. government says the nation’s cars and trucks are well on their way to meeting fuel economy and emissions standards set for 2025. But if gas prices stay low and consumers keep buying lessefficient vehicles like SUVs, the government could lower those standards. Automakers argue that meeting the requirements is difficult. A report on the standards was issued Monday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the California Air Resources Board. The report kicks off a twoyear review that will determine whether to keep the 2025 fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions targets in place or change them. Under standards set in 2012, automakers’ fleets were expected to get an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. That’s not the real-world mileage vehicles will get; it includes credits for things like more efficient air conditioning systems. The realworld mileage is closer to 40 miles per gallon. The government calculates an automakers’ average based on the vehicles it sells. A company could fail to meet standards on pickup trucks but exceed them with fuel-efficient cars and still meet the requirements, said Alan Baum, a consultant in Detroit who advises automakers on fuel-economy regulations. But if it fails to

sell those cars and only sells the pickup trucks, it could wind up being fined. As gas prices have fallen, truck and SUV sales have risen. That means the 54.5 mpg standard may no longer be realistic, since automakers are selling more trucks and SUVs and fewer cars than the government anticipated in 2012. The government now forecasts average fuel economy between 50 mpg and 52.6 mpg in 2025, depending on the price of gas. But EPA officials said that the numbers could continue to change. The report noted that in October 2012, when the fuel economy standards were finalized, U.S. average gas prices were $3.87 per gallon. They ended 2015 at $2.15 per gallon. So far this year, sales of the Toyota Prius hybrid are down 25 per cent while sales of SUVs and other light trucks are up 9 per cent, according to Autodata Corp. But gas prices alone aren’t likely to convince the government to weaken the standards adopted in 2012. The report says automakers can meet the original 2012 targets by continuing to make more advanced gasoline engines; the EPA says only about 2 per cent of vehicles would need to be hybrids or electric vehicles to meet the standards. “Today’s draft report shows that automakers are developing far more technologies to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas

Automakers are developing far more technologies to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, at similar or lower costs, than we thought possible just a few years ago.

’’

— JANET MCCABE, ACTING ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR, EPA’S OFFICE OF AIR AND RADIATION

emissions, at similar or lower costs, than we thought possible just a few years ago,’’ said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. The government says 100 car, SUV, and pick-up truck versions

on the market today already meet fuel economy standards targeted for 2020 or later. Automakers also have been making more use of lightweight materials, like aluminum, and improving vehicles’

aerodynamics. They’re also adding features like stop-start technology, which automatically shut down the engine and save fuel while a vehicle is stopped in traffic. Those advances come at a cost.

The EPA estimates the fuel economy standards will cost $1,017 per vehicle between 2021 and 2025, while NHTSA estimates they will cost up to $1,245 per vehicle. The agencies differ on how much con-

sumers would save in gas, but they estimate it’s between $680 and $1,620 per vehicle. Those costs, and consumers’ reluctance to buy the smallest, most fuel-efficient vehicles, mean the auto industry will likely argue that the

standards should be relaxed. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a lobbying group that represents 12 automakers, including BMW, Toyota and General Motors, says meeting the standards is “a daunting challenge.’’ “Absent a vigorous commitment to focus on marketplace realities, excessive regulatory costs could impact both consumers and the employees

who produce these vehicles,’’ the alliance said in a statement. But environmental groups will urge the government to strengthen the standards. In a statement, Sierra Club President Andrew Linhardt said the report proves that the standards are working. “Due to technological innovation, our cars are cleaner and more efficient than ever before,’’ he said.

Krystian Shaw, who prefers the term “diverse abilities” over disabilities, is the brainchild behind the Kamloops Self-Advocate newsletter. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

SELF-STARTER CREATES SELF-ADVOCATE ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

rystian Shaw prefers the term “diverse abilities” over disabilities. It’s one of the ways the 26-year-old tries to challenge the public perception of what people with physical and intellectual disabilities can do. “It’s a positive term instead of always being known as disabled all the time,” he said, focusing on what people can do. It’s that same goal — to show people what he and others with disabilities can do — that led him to start publishing a free monthly newsletter, the Kamloops Self-Advocate. Now three years old, the newsletter features jokes, inspirational quotes, event listings and news stories and columns all penned by Kamloops residents who have disabilities. During the winter months, another contributor puts a unique spin on Kamloops Blazers’ coverage. July’s issue included a profile of Mike Touchie, who uses a wheelchair after being injured in a building collapse, an article on computer-skills training for people with

disabilities and a recipe for ribs. An advisory council meets every three months to discuss ideas for upcoming issues. “It’s all disability focused,” said Shaw, noting he would like to work as a support worker, but because he needs some supports himself, that wasn’t possible. The newsletter began as a way to give back and advocate for others and serve as a voice to discuss stigma in the community. “Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean people should treat you poorly,” he wrote in Kyrstian’s Corner, his monthly column in the Self-Advocate. “There will always be discrimination as long as there are humans on the planet, but we can help educate and give awareness to others which would help reduce the stigma. We need to continue to speak up and speak out,” he wrote. Shaw said there were people who figured he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the challenges of a monthly publication when he was first starting out. “I proved them wrong,” he said. His mother, Linda, remembers those comments. “People in the field were saying he wasn’t capable of doing

ngrid d fe eiff fe r 250-320-5778

anything else but delivering fliers,” she said. “And somebody else in another department said, ‘Are you talking about the same Krystian we’re talking about?’ They saw the potential in him.” After a year of publication, Shaw went to Community Futures Thompson Country to come up with a plan to turn the Self Advocate into a full-time business. “I enjoy that I can work in the disability field like anybody else and give back to people what was given to me,” he said. He’ll be discussing that process and the importance of advocacy work at the Kamloops Library, Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, on Saturday, Aug. 6, at 2 p.m. as part of the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library’s author talks series. Shaw is also putting together a peer support group for disabled people who want to learn skills and tackle discrimination, which will begin meeting this fall. The Kamloops Self-Advocate is available at coffee shops and service providers around the city and online at selfadvocatenet. com/kamloops-self-advocate-newsletter/. It’s on Facebook as The Kamloops Self Advocate Newsletter/ Diverse Abilities.

KAMLOOPS CADET AT THE CONTROLS

Cadet Christa Lester, 15, from 137 Kamloops Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps in Kamloops, learns to take control of the helm in a Royal Canadian Navy Orca-class patrol craft training vessel on Tuesday on Vancouver Island. This week, Christa and 10 other cadets from across the country will be cruising the open waters and engaging in various safety drills, as well as learning to navigate and crew the ship, as part of six-week boatswain’s mate course. This is her fourth summer at the training centre. To learn more about the local sea cadets, search 137 Kamloops Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps in Kamloops on Facebook.

Half-price cat adoptions Until July 26, the BC SPCA is holding a cat adoption promotion, presented by Hill’s Science Diet at all its B.C. locations, including Kamlooops. With the province’s shelters filled with cats of all shapes, sizes, ages and colours, the agency is reducing adoption

fees for all adult cats by 50 per cent. “We’re hoping this promotion will encourage anyone who has been considering cat adoption to take the next step and make it reality,” said Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA’s general manager of community relations.

There are several benefits to adopting a more mature cat over a kitten, Chortyk noted, as they are calmer and more settled, littertrained, fully grown and their personalities are already developed, so potential adopters are more fully aware of what they’re going to get.

Each year, the BC SPCA rescues more than 15,000 cats and kittens throughout the province. To adopt an adult cat, visit the Kamloops SPCA branch at 1211 Eighth St. in North Kamloops or go online to spca.bc.ca/adopt to search for adoptable adult felines.

RCMP offers vacation tips Kamloops Mounties are offering these tips as you prepare to leave your home for a summer vacation: • While on vacation, arrange for someone to mow the lawn and park in your driveway. It’s ideal to have someone you trust house-sit for you so your home is still lived in while you are away. If this is not possible, make sure your home looks lived in. • Make sure all doors and windows to your home are

secured and locked. If your home has an alarm system, arm it when you leave for your vacation. • Have your mail held at the post office and your newspaper delivery put on hold or ask a family member, a trusted friend or neighbour to pick those items up for you. • Set automatic timers to turn your lights and a radio on and off. • Do not keep ladders or tools on the outside of your home. If

it can be used to gain entry into your home, keep it locked up and out of sight. • Record serial numbers, keep a log and take pictures of items of value. • Keep your vacation plans off social networks like Facebook. It is easy to gain access to personal information once it’s entered onto Facebook or another social network. Follow the Golden Rule of community safety: If you see something, say something.

No ‘pretendees’ when Stringer performs tonight DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Liz Stringer says her online biography may not be completely accurate. The quotes above it, however, speak to the truth of her music, with the likes of Rolling Stone magazine saying the Australian singer-songwriter’s music “recalls a Chrissie Hynde-like balance of unsettling lyrical directness and pop composure.” Beat Magazine said she “commands the oftviolated soul-rock genre with the vocal dexterity and empathy of a southern Baptist preacher leading a Sunday morning congregation down the path of righteousness.” Stringer herself

laughs with a bit of an embarrassed tone when reminded of the hefty praise she has received through the years. Stringer said she was playing piano before she could talk, the result of living in a musical family in Melbourne, where everyone sang and played an instrument. She truly took to it, winning a music scholarship to a private girls’ school when she was 13. By 15, she had added guitar to her musical resume. One year later, Stringer headed to Germany, where she started a band and recorded her first demo. Heading back to Melbourne, Stringer continued writing songs and, after graduating, returned to Germany. There, she borrowed

a Fender Stratcaster and Bassman amp, found a rehearsal studio — in a Second World War bunker — and for three years worked on her music with her old band. England followed with solo shows and more attention paid to acoustic guitar. By 2003, she was back home. Her first album, Soon, was released in 2006 and her fifth, All the Bridges, came out on July 1 of this year. Stringer is touring to promote the album, with a stop tonight in Kamloops for Music in the Park. Her show will be mostly her own works, Stringer said, but she often includes two covers — A Little Rain by Ron Hawkins and Must

ON STAGE WHO: Liz Stringer WHEN: Thursday, July 21, 7 p.m. WHERE: Music in the Park, Riverside Park MORE: lizstringer.com

Be in a Good Place Now by Bobby Charles. Stringer eschews

most covers because she doesn’t feel she can do them with authority

unless she has connected with the songs. But those two songs, she said, speak to her. Stringer noted Hawkins is a Canadian singer-songwriter, a member of what she said is Canada’s rich community of music and songwriting talents. Her own songs are often inspired by people she knows, moments of human experiences she takes and writes from a first-person perspective, assuming the characters and finding their voices. After a bit of a dry

spell in songwriting, Stringer said she was glad to see her muse come back “with a vengeance,” leading to the new album. However, there are times when she still wonders about her career. “I have moments of idiocy of what I’m doing,” she said. “We call it the pretendees. I get on stage and think, ‘Oh my God, what am I doing?’ But then I have gigs that are all amazing. It’s totally up to chance.”

Send all gods to the scrap heap of history

BILL LIGERTWOOD

Rational

THOUGHTS weapon used to murder dozens and wound dozens more. Make no mistake, there are ample verses in the Quran and in the Bible that advocate violence against the gay, lesbian and transgendered community. As many leaders in the ex-Muslim community have stated, we must realize Islam is a particularly violent religion and its Islamist followers must be seen as separate from the average Muslim. These leaders have included Ayaan Hirsi

Ali, Majid Nawaz, Faisal Saeed al Mutar and Ali A. Rizvi. I have trouble even making that distinction when I look at countries around the world ruled by Sharia Law. In these countries — as noted in the Washington Post article found online at washingtonpost.com/ news/worldviews/ wp/2016/06/13/hereare-the-10-countrieswhere-homosexualitymay-be-punishedby-death-2/ — they regularly imprison and execute not only gays and lesbians, but atheists and anyone else who chooses to criticize the religion. If this is to change, we will need to see an extensive modernization of so-called holy books that were written early in the last two millennia. Will that happen? Is it even possible? Not as long as we have religious leaders and followers who actu-

ally believe this stuff. God tells us we must do this and we must do that and we must worship him and we must kill gay people and we must treat women as so much chattle. You can read this every week on KTW’s Faith page. Please save useless prayers for the victims. If there is any kind of a God, surely he/she/it would have prevented these acts, rather than watch as a man enters a nightclub with a gun and as a man drives a truck through a crowd of people in France. It’s time to send all gods and religions to the scrap heap of history, where most of the gods of the past now reside.

Q & A WITH KELLY O MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Boston Celtics’ forward Kelly Olynyk is on home court in Kamloops this week teaching at the annual Olynyk Klynyk, a fourday basketball camp ending tomorrow at the Tournament Capital Centre and TRU Gym. The South Kamloops secondary graduate spent 20 minutes answering questions from local media on Tuesday, with topics ranging from his shoulder injury, to the disappointment of not being able to wear the Maple Leaf, to his future with the Boston Celtics.

BOSTON CELTICS PHOTO

Kelly Olynyk (left) of Kamloops is no longer a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed newcomer in the NBA. The Boston Celtics’ forward is entering his fourth season, expecting to recover from shoulder surgery and return to the hardcourt in October.

Q: How hard was the decision to have surgery on your injured shoulder instead of playing for Canada while it tried to qualify for the Olympics next month? A: That was probably one of the toughest decisions of my life. I’ve played with the national team eight years now. The goal is to get to an Olympics. That’s a goal for not only me, but all my Canadian brothers and family. Together, we want to do that, to help this nation get back there. I talked to five, six, seven doctors, hoping one would tell me I didn’t need to do surgery and I could

play, but a lot of them advised that this was the best way to go and the healthiest way and, if I played, I was at bigger risk for doing further damage. Q: There is controversy regarding decisions made by other Canadian players who decided not to play for the national team. What’s your take on that? A: I can’t speak for other people. I’m not in their position. You don’t know what their decision is based on, what’s ailing them. Maybe they had prior commitments or they had to do other things, but I know if I have the chance to play, I’m going to play. That’s the way I was brought up through the system. Every time you get to put on the Canadian jersey is something special, to go out there and fight for your country is something you can’t really describe. See OLYNYK, A33

Olynyk a fan of Jurassic Park From A31

Olynyk by the numbers in 2015-2016

Q: Prior to your injury before the allstar break, you were making a big impact with the Celtics. Was the game slowing down for you? A: The more experience you have, the more it slows down for you. You know what’s coming down the pike and you’re ready to hit it. It was the third year under coach [Brad] Stevens and you know what to expect. For me, it was going out there and trying to be consistent every night. Sometimes, it’s tough. It’s a long, grinding season with matchups and your minutes are up and down. We didn’t have superstars. We had a lot of players on the same level. Some nights, I was playing great and I would play a lot more. Other nights, someone else was playing great. It was fun, but it was tough because you want to play as much as you can. Q: Given that you seemed to be making strides, how frustrating was the timing of the injury, then re-aggravating it early in the playoffs and having to always answer questions about it? A: It’s your guys’ job to ask questions about it. All these kids all ask. When you’re walking down the street, people want to know. What’s frustrating to me is it just reminds you that you’re not doing well. You’ve got to trust the process and keep chugging along. Eventually, you’ll get there, back healthy and rocking and rolling. I’m two months out of surgery, with three months to go. It’s feeling good. I’m moving pain-free for the first time this week and getting more motion back. Q: What do you think about so-called super teams in the NBA, most recently with Kevin Durant joining Golden State, and do you think it’s

• Games played: 69 • Minutes per game: 20.2 • Points per game: 10 • Field-goal percentage: .455 • Assists per game: 1.5 • Rebounds per game: 4.1 • Blocks per game: .5 • Salary: $2,165,160 USD

the Raptors growing up, it was great to see that. It grows basketball in Canada to a new level and it’s special to see, and it’s special to go back there and even see all that We The North stuff and Jurassic Park in the playoffs. That stuff is second to none in this league. You don’t see that. You have 29 other teams who have a great fan base, but they’re usually central to Boston or Massachusetts or to L.A. or New York — a state at most. Toronto is a whole country. It’s always nice to go back and play there, but Boston is a pretty special place, too.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kelly Olynyk and a crew of former teammates and coaches, along with friends and family, are instructing about 82 blossoming basketball players this week at the fourth annual Olynyk Klynyk. To read more about the progression of the four-day camp since its inception, read KTW tomorrow.

good or bad for the league? A: It is what it is. I don’t know if it’s necessarily good or bad. It’s just kind of there. Durant had a decision to make and he thought it’s an opportunity to win a championship. It’s up to him. No one is in his position. You’re hardpressed to criticize someone when you’re not in his position and haven’t gone through what he’s gone through. Q: Your contract with Boston is nearing its end. What does your future with the team look like? A: I’ve got one more year guaranteed, then it’s up to them. I love Boston. It’s been my home the last

three years. The fan base is unbelievable. When you walk into that Garden, the aura is so special, with the history and the excellence that’s happened before you, all the championships, the retired numbers, and the city is second to none. Being from up here, the winters and snow don’t bother me, the cold . . . Great city, great food, great people, great fans and it’s home to me now. Q: What did you think of the Raptors’ run this season and is there a chance you might hold a press conference one day to announce you’re taking your talents north of the border? A: Being born in Toronto and watching

Q: How are you handling the NBA life and the money that comes with it? A: It’s funny you ask. I bought a place in Boston. That was probably the biggest purchase I’ve ever made. I try to help out my family and friends whenever I can. I don’t really have a lot of toys. I drive a Toyota Tundra around Boston and I love it. It’s big. It runs well. It’s good in the snow. But right before I came here, I wanted to try out a car. I tried out a Mercedes, an S550, and it was unbelievable. It goes like a cheetah, super comfortable, like riding in luxury, massage chairs, heated seats, so much horsepower, full sunroof. I left it and I came back here and I was like, man, I don’t need that. I have a financial advisor coming out to camp tomorrow. He said, ‘You know, you can spend a little more money on yourself, you know.’ There are other people, my family and friends, who can use it. I don’t

spend a lot of money. I spend it where it’s needed. My oldest sister is going to law school and my youngest sister is going to school. I’ll try and help wherever I can. Q: What did you make of the news fellow Kamloopsian Riley Nash signed to play for the Boston Bruins? A: Riley is my cousin. I was on a plane and, when I landed, my phone was blowing up, like 30 or 40 messages. I didn’t even know. I hit Riley up and he said, ‘Yeah, I’m going to Boston.’ We always meet up for dinners and to hang out when he is in town. I’ll definitely be going to more Bruins’ games now and I already go to a bunch. Q: Word recently leaked that your dad [Ken Olynyk, athletics director for Thompson Rivers University] was thinking about retiring and perhaps spending some more time out in Boston with you. What do you think about that? A: I told him he’s got to work at least one more year. Hopefully, I can get a second contract and then he can call it quits.

The Kamloops Venom made sure there was no Vernon Tigers comeback this time around. The Venom won their second straight Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship, and third in five years, Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place in Vernon, holding on to edge the Tigers 10-7 to complete a three-game sweep of the bestof-five final. The two teams have met in the final the last five years with Kamloops winning three titles, including last year, where they jumped out to a 2-0 series lead, only to watch the Tigers win the next two to force a fifth and deciding game in Vernon, which the Venom won 15-14. “Last year, we were up 2-0 and it was kind of a surprise to everyone, including us,” said Kamloops captain Riley Peterson who, along with teammate Kyle Pauwels, had

two goals and three assists in the clincher. “We didn’t want to repeat last year and try to win it at home, we wanted to end it right here, right now and get it done with. I couldn’t be more proud of these guys.” Riley Lawryk had a hat trick in the series-clinching victory. The Venom, who finished second to the Tigers (13-2-1) at 11-5 in the regular season, went 6-0 in the TOJLL playoffs and now advance to the B.C. Junior B championship, which begins on July 29 in Coquitlam. Kamloops put Vernon in a bit of a hole late in the first period Tuesday, extending a 3-2 lead to 5-2 with pair of goals 22 seconds apart in the final minute of the frame. The Venom led 8-4 after two, then watched Vernon pull to within a goal at 8-7 with 7:13 left in the game. Goals from Pauwels, in his fifth and final year in the league, and Brenden Bickert 1:45 apart

JJ Woldum and the Kamloops Rattlers will square off against the Kelowna Raiders in Round 1 of the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League playoffs. Kamloops and Kelowna both finished the campaign 4-6, but the Raiders won the season series 3-2 and have home-floor advantage. Kelowna will play host to Game 1 of the best-ofthree series on Sunday. Memorial Arena in the Tournament Capital is the site for Game 2, which gets underway at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Game 3, if necessary, will be played in the Little Apple on July 28. The Armstrong Shamrocks finished atop the standings in the three-team league and snared a bye to the final.

sealed the championship for Kamloops. The Tigers had goals from seven players with Jordy Barr leading the offence with four points. Matt Hans made 51 saves to get the win, while Darnell Hauca stopped 36 shots for Vernon, which has gone 29-2-1 in the last two regular seasons under head coach Chris Scabar, but have no championships to show for it. “It kills us,” said Scabar of the series loss. “It’s pretty upsetting for me, especially as an older coach. It was a tough series. They are a very good club, they really are. Half of my team are first-year players, so we got lots of development and I think we’re going to be great again.” Pauwels finished the series with eight goals and 15 points, while Peterson had 17 points. The Venom will begin preparing for their sixth trip to provincials in the last seven seasons.

OAKVILLE, Ont. — David Hearn said yes with a smile every time. Hearn signed every hat, tee flag and ticket handed to him. He took off his sunglasses and put them behind his cap for every photo and asked the name of every young fan as he made his way off the 18th green at Glen Abbey Golf Club yesterday at the pro-am tournament ahead of the Canadian Open. The PGA regular from nearby Brantford, Ont., takes the time because he remembers what it was like to be on the other side of the rope. “As a young kid I used to come to Canadian Opens and I remember waiting for a lot of golfers I admired,’’ said Hearn, who looked up to Fred Couples, among others. “I would’ve been so disappointed if none of them stopped to speak to me.’’ The Canadian Open runs at Glen Abbey from today to Sunday. Hearn finished third at

last year’s Canadian Open, two strokes back of eventual winner Jason Day of Australia and a shot behind American Bubba Watson. The Canadian caught fans’ attention with a 64 in the second round and had a two-shot lead after shooting a 68 in the third. A 72 and the solid play of Day and Watson in last year’s fourth round put the PGA Tour win just beyond Hearn’s reach. Still, he remembers the ovation he got from Canadian fans as

he approached the 18th tee after Day’s three consecutive birdies had won the event. He hopes moments like that can help grow the game in Canada. “At the time I was just in the moment,’’ Hearn said. “But looking back, I hope I inspired some young golfers, some junior players across the country.’’ Hearn believes that memorable moments like his near win last year at Glen Abbey or the upcoming Rio Olympics — where he, Graham DeLaet, Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp will represent Canada — are an opportunity to create new fans. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., is also playing in the Canadian Open this week and has seen the impact his Canadian Golf Hall of Fame career has already had on younger players. “I know Graham DeLaet has talked about it, that I was somewhat of an inspiration for him,’’ said Weir, who has eight career PGA Tour wins including the 2003 Masters. “I guess when you’re going along you just don’t think

about those kind of things but at the same time, hopefully, some of the younger guys can draw inspiration and know that you can be from a winter country a lot of the year and still make it.’’ Hearn, Weir and DeLaet are the three biggest Canadian names playing at the tournament, but they’ll be joined by over a dozen other players from across the country: Adam Hadwin, Nick Taylor, Adam Cornelson, Corey Conners, Brad Fritsch, Dave Levesque, Branson Ferrier and amateurs Blair Hamilton, Hugo Bernanrd, Garrett Rank and Jared du Toit. A Canadian hasn’t won the tournament since Pat Fletcher in 1954, with Hearn and Weir (2004, runner-up in a playoff ) coming the closest. This year’s field also includes world Nos. 1 and 2, Dustin Johnson and Day, as well as former champions Brandt Snedeker (2013), Jim Furyk (2006, 2007), Sean O’Hair (2011), Carl Pettersson (2010), Chez Reavie (2008), and Vijay Singh (2004).

Suspicion surrounds Cuban no-shows at Surrey tourney

SURREY — A pair of Cuban softball players who failed to show up for the Women’s World Softball Championship in Surrey have not had any contact with their team for three days. Tournament spokeswoman Laura Ballance said she notified the RCMP when the women did not arrive for the first game on Sunday. Ballance said it’s unclear whether the women who have six-month visas were trying to defect instead of playing in the 10-day tournament involving 31 countries including Australia, Israel and Switzerland.

Russia says final decision on Ex-NFL player Olympic ban expected Sunday sues insurer HEAD TRAUMA

Entire Russian Olympic team facing possible ban from competing in Rio after damning IOC report accused sports ministry of widespread doping JAMES ELLINGWORTH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — Russia’s top Olympic official expects a final decision by Sunday on whether the entire Russian team will be banned from next month’s games in Rio de Janeiro over allegations of state-sponsored doping. The International Olympic Committee is examining the legal options of a blanket ban following a report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren that accused Russia’s sports ministry of overseeing doping of the country’s Olympic athletes. “The issue will be finally resolved by the end of this week, probably on Sunday,’’ Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said yesterday at a meeting of the ROC. Zhukov said his committee did not discuss the McLaren report at its meeting, although he also did not rule out legal action if Russia is hit with a total ban from the games. The Court of Arbitration for Sport will issue its verdict today on Russia’s appeal to overturn the IAAF ban on its track and field athletes for the games. The IOC will take that ruling into account before making its own decision. Zhukov said he was hopeful of winning the appeal, adding Russia’s plans for the Olympics assumed the track and field team would be allowed to compete. Russia plans to send a total of 387 athletes, including 68 in track and field, he said. “Of course we hope for a CAS ruling in our favour,’’ Zhukov told state TV. “It would be, I’d say, a serious precedent for the other federations’ decisions.’’ Regardless of how the various doping-related cases turn out, Zhukov said a Russian Olympic boycott was out of the question. “These boycotts just lead to a breakup of the Olympic movement,’’ he said. “I think that Russia will never take part in any boycott.’’ The Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, retaliating for the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980

It is possible that no Russian athletes will take part in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio’s Maracanã Stadium on Aug. 5. Russian officials expect to find out for sure on Sunday.

Games in Moscow that followed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Earlier yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said a meeting between Putin and Russia’s Olympic athletes, previously scheduled for today, would no longer take place. The IOC executive board held a meeting by teleconference on Tuesday to consider its steps in the wake of the McLaren report, which found that 28 summer and winter Olympic sports were affected by state-operated cheating in Russia. WADA and other anti-doping officials urged the IOC to consider the unprecedented step of excluding the entire Russian team from the Rio Games. The IOC said it “will explore the legal options with regard to a collective ban of all Russian athletes for the Olympic Games 2016 versus the right to individual justice.’’ The IOC also started disciplinary action against Russian sports ministry officials and others implicated in McLaren’s report, and said they would be denied accreditation for the Rio Games. The list includes Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko. The IOC is expected to hold another executive board meeting in the next few days, possibly on Sunday, to consider whether to ban the Russian team. The IOC can also let individual interna-

Russian lifters issued bans amid doping crisis THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — Two Russian weightlifters have been banned for doping in a further hit to the credibility of both Russian sport and weightlifting ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Former European under-23 champion Alexei Selyutin was banned for four years and Russian national champion Yekaterina Vlasova for 18 months, the Russian anti-doping agency said, citing the Russian weightlifting federation. The agency did not provide details of the offences. While Selyutin and Vlasova were unlikely to make the Russian team for Rio, their bans are a further blow for Russian weightlifting, which already risks being barred from the Olympics altogether for numerous earlier doping cases. Weightlifting is also in the grip of a doping crisis after many medallists from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics failed retests of their samples.

tional federations decide to ban Russians in their own sports. The international rowing federation said yesterday it was investigating whether Russian rowers’ places at the Rio Olympics could be reallocated to athletes from other countries “if there would be a blanket ban on the Russian team or any other ban.’’ Russia has five rowing crews entered for the

Olympics after a sixth crew was disqualified earlier this month for a doping violation in qualifying. World Rowing also said it “is undertaking a complete review of testing of Russian rowers since 2011’’ and has asked WADA for any evidence related to doping by Russian rowers. The McLaren report alleged 11 failed drug tests in rowing had been covered up by Russian officials.

A former NFL player who suffered what the league deemed a career-ending concussion has sued Lloyd’s of London for denying a $1 million insurance policy for professional athletes. The lawsuit filed this week in North Carolina could become a test case for insurers dealing with the emerging fallout from sports concussions and head trauma claims. The NFL declared former Carolina Panthers defensive back Haruki Nakamura fully and permanently disabled after the August 2013 concussion he received in a pre-season game and it awarded him monthly benefits. Lloyd’s medical expert nonetheless ruled, nearly 18 months after the claim was filed, that he could return to play. However, their doctor cautioned Nakamura to consider the “probable long-term effects of repetitive concussions’’ before making the decision, according to the suit, filed Monday in Mecklenburg County. Lizzie Lowe, a U.S. spokeswoman for Lloyd’s, said the insurance consortium doesn’t comment on pending litigation. Nakamura, 30, said he suffers from headaches, vision problems, fatigue, depression and suicidal thoughts. He hit the side of his head making a tackle in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and he was diagnosed with a concussion at a hospital. Citing a concussion, the Panthers released him five days later, the lawsuit said. He was later diagnosed with postconcussion syndrome by a sports concussion expert at the University of Pittsburgh. Nakamura had paid $17,000 a year for the Lloyd’s policy in 2012 and 2013, according to his lawyers, John W. Schryber and Julie L. Hammerman, who specialize in insurance policies for athletes. The policies are recommended for athletes who might not have a guaranteed salary and who can be cut after an injury. The lawyers said they have never had an insurer reject a policy after a doctor or the NFL judged a client to have a career-ending injury. But this is the first concussion claim they have filed under coverage for bodily injuries. “And now they’re denying coverage altogether,’’ Schryber said yesterday. “The point of going out and buying private insurance is to have a hedge against all of these other things that are outside of your control.’’ Nakamura could potentially seek an award under the NFL’s planned $1 billion court settlement of concussion claims, though it’s unclear how he might fare. The settlement, which could roll out within the next year, is designed to cover more than 20,000 NFL retirees for the next 65 years. The league estimates that 6,000 former players, or nearly 3 in 10, could develop Alzheimer’s disease or moderate dementia that some link to concussions. Nakamura, an Ohio native, played for the Baltimore Ravens from 2008 to 2011 before joining the Panthers. He lives with his wife and two children in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Celebration Of Life Oliver Cromwell Coster June 6, 1924 - January 14, 2016

It was with heavy hearts we said goodbye to our dear Dad, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend at the age of 91.

Frank “Red” Murton McRae It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our Husband, Dad & Papa, Frank “Red” McRae. Red passed away on July 9, 2016 with Barb and family by his side at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice Home. Red was born September 29, 1939 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Frank Sr. and Dorothy McRae (both deceased). He was the youngest of 4 children, Jim, Betty (deceased) and Fran. Red is survived by his large family. Children: Carrie (Brent Hamilton), Barbi (Terry Yakubowich), Frank, Rusty (Jenny), Misti Rode, Dori (Eron Wright) & Jodi Foss. Grandchildren: Dustin (Chrissy), Halina (Dainen) & Danica, Payden (Taylor), Wyatt & Kealee, Brianna & Kaylin, Alexandra, Kody & Katelyn (Duncan), Jessica & Chelsea, Scarlett & Lilliana, Carter & Liam. Great Grandchild: Thea.

Ollie was born to Lily Mason Coster and Oliver Coster on Robbins Range, where he spent his childhood with his sister Olive. Oliver was predeceased by his loving wife of 45 years Eleanor (nee Harrison). He will be fondly missed by his dear friend Alma Jaeger. Also surviving is Eleanor’s brother Hale Conwright. He is survived by his eight children, eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Oliver served in World War II and landed on Juno Beach on D. Day. He received the rank of Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour from the Government of France. While working for the Highways Department, he met Eleanor and they were married on Valentine’s Day in 1948. They had a sawmill on Robbins Range while their family grew. Ollie worked for the CN Railroad, Fisher Brothers and later for the Dept. of Highway as a mechanic. Growing up during the depression Ollie learned the art of frugality and developed the talent of building “something out of nothing.” A talent he passed onto his offspring. Much of his time was spent helping others particularly with automobiles and teaching this craft to young ones --- an ability they all treasure. Spending time outdoors was a very important aspect of his life: traveling, visiting family and friends, hunting, gathering huge loads of firewood and enjoying the cabin at Niskonlith Lake. A Celebration of Ollie’s Life will be held on July 30th, 2016 at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC. Please join us from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm for refreshments and to celebrate Oliver’s long and full life. Enquiries care of leocoster@hotmail.com

Red was working at CN Railway in the 1960’s when he met colleague Colin Stewart, who became his best friend. Red and Colin left their jobs at CN and ended up at Colin’s parents home where Red met Colin’s little sister Barb. The boys joined the Canadian Navy from there and were joined by the Stewart family in Victoria where they were stationed. It was at that time, Red began dating Barb and their lives began together. Red and Barb were married on September 1, 1962. While Red was in the navy they had 6 children from 1963 to 1971. Years later they made their way to Kamloops which become their final home and where they raised their children. Red spent years employed by Weyerhaeuser which ended as a result of a serious work accident in October 1996. He was just 57 years old at the time of the accident and never returned to work after. His final and favorite “job” became Papa Daycare and taxi to his grandchildren. Red was first and foremost a family man. He worked hard to care for his family. Barb was his life and he loved her with everything he had. He devoted his life to Barb and their 6 children, later adding a “keeper” daughter in Jodi, making it 7 children in total. Although Jodi was not their biological daughter, she was theirs to keep. Him and Barb always included the neighbourhood children and

Red will be missed. His family will always remember his beautiful voice singing in the kitchen while he made breakfast and coffee. His goofy sense of humor and relentless tickles until you said “oogy googy goo, I love you” to make him stop. His big hands which he would place on your head to rub when you had a headache, or that shoulder to cry on when you needed. You never had to ask, he just knew. Red was one of the most compassionate people you could ever meet. He left a mark on the path of everyone he met. He was a protector, a teacher and most of all, the strongest man anyone who met him ever knew. He volunteered his time with Kamloops Minor Hockey, the Kamloops Blazers and with the Norkam Music Department. Memorial Services to be held at the Kamloops Funeral Home on Saturday, July 23, 2016 at 2:00 pm. Barb and the family are requesting in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in his honor. Thank you to the staff for their amazing care and compassion on his last few days. You were the strength we all needed. We would also like to thank his family doctor, Dr. Brenda Laupland for such amazing care over these past few years. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

everyone always had a safe place to go. Their door was always open for those in need. Today, several of those children are grown with families of their own and still call him Dad. Red always knew when someone was in need, even when they didn’t realize it themselves. He was always there to pick up the pieces for others and make everything better.

In Sharon’s delightful memory, please come to her Celebration of Life dressed in bright colors! Sharon was born in Hythe, Alberta. Her family moved to Smithers in 1968 where she met John at a High School Dance and he swept her off her feet. They married in 1971 and have been dancing and laughing together ever since. They raised a family in Kamloops, BC for 16 years finally settling in Kelowna for the last 26 years. During her 26 years in Kelowna Sharon excelled in the retail industry including owning two businesses: Maid in the Okanagan and iHem (clothing alteration). The last 8 years of her battle with Cancer was spent travelling, reconnecting with old friends, enjoying a glass of wine or two with John on the shores of Okanagan Lake and taking every opportunity to spend time with her grandchildren. Her loving heart, bright spirit and beautiful smile will be missed by her many family members and friends whom were just like family to her. Special thanks to Dr. Derek Adam as well as the nurses and staff at the Central Okanagan Hospice House for taking such amazing care of Sharon these last few weeks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House at 2035 Ethel St, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2Z6.
