Candidacy considered TRIO MUSES ON RUNNING FOR TK’EMLUPS INDIAN BAND CHIEF; FORMER CHIEF WILL NOT BE ON BALLOT

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two current Tk’emlups Indian Band councillors and a former band CEO say they have not ruled out a run for the chief’s chair. The comments come in the wake of Chief Shane Gottfriedson’s decision to contend for the Assembly of First Nations’ (AFN) regional chief position and and not to seek re-election in November. Gottfriedson is in the midst of the AFN campaign as he tries to visit residents in the 203 B.C. communities who will vote for regional chief on June 25. Several sources told KTW there is support among the more than 1,000 band members for councillors Fred Seymour and Ed Jensen, as well as for Howard Campbell, a

longtime chief financial officer for the band who completed his tenure as chief administrator last July. However, one former chief said her name will not be on the November ballot. Bonnie Leonard served a single term as band chief 15 years ago and later challenged Gottfriedson in an unsuccessful comeback bid. “I’m interested in leadership and politics — but I’m really

busy with my work at Shuswap Nation Tribal Council (SNTC),” said Leonard, a lawyer who is the SNTC’s executive director. Leonard said the band has a long list of successful chiefs. “We have a large organization that requires strong leadership and a level head,” she said. Gottfriedson said he expects to be asked to back a band member as the next chief, but gave no hint of who he might support. “We’ll have to see who decides to run,” he said. “People really need to think who they want on council.” Elder and former councillor Evelyn Camille said it’s too soon for open campaigning, but added she expects candidates to quietly seek support among other elders and families as election day nears.

MERRITT HERALD FILE PHOTO

The Telemon Place mobile home in Merritt, where Allan Schoenborn killed his three children in 2008, was demolished on March 31. The ThompsonNicola Regional District has denied a request from the trailer’s owners for the regional district to cover some of the cost of the tipping fees incurred when the ruins were trucked away.

TNRD won’t help with murder-site fees ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District will not absorb a portion of the tipping fees incurred during the demolition of the Merritt home in which Allan Schoenborn’s killed his three children in 2008. Wayne and Lynnette Pyett, owners of the Telemon Place trailer, asked the TNRD to cover a portion of the more than $10,000 incurred during destruction of the structure earlier this year. The request was rejected by the TNRD’s board of directors. In a report to the board, Peter Hughes, director of environmental services, recommended the request be denied, writing “waiving of disposal fees after the fact sets an unwanted precedent.” In a letter to the TNRD, the Pyetts note approximately 70 tons of debris was removed in 13 truckloads from the

Merritt trailer park. The first 10 loads amounted to 40 tons and $5,563.20 in tipping fees. The final three loads amounted to 30 tons and $4,561.60 in fees. In their letter, the Pyetts said the final three loads consisted of waterlogged soil as it was raining on the final day of demolition. “While it was my intent to demolish, as per my letter sent to the City of Merritt in September 2014, it was not my intent or understanding to be charged for wet, heavy dirt,” the letter reads. The Pyetts also wrote they have been informed they must invest in $3,000 of topsoil and landscaping to restore the lot. “This request is not to avoid paying the tipping costs, which were estimated fairly accurate, but to obtain some relief on the ‘unexpected extra costs’ of the last three loads, of which I have attached copies of the tare slips,” the letter reads. The request didn’t find much support

from the TNRD. Merritt Mayor Neil Menard told the board he would not support the request. He also noted the board wouldn’t be discussing the situation if Pyett had done the work “in a timely fashion, on a sunny day . . .” The demolition of the site began on March 31, seven years after the murders. After sitting vacant since the slayings, the City of Merritt declared the property a nuisance in January 2015 and ordered it demolished. Donovan Cavers, City of Kamloops councillor and TNRD alternate director, proposed the board absorb 50 per cent of the tipping fees, but was unable to obtain a seconder for his motion at last week’s meeting. Menard told KTW he is hoping the City of Merritt can now move on from a tragic event. The city has no control over the future use of the site, which is private property, but would be open to discussing possibilities with Pyett, the mayor said.

It’s official: 1,000-foot slip and slide coming to city on July 18 SLIDE THE CITY EVENT WILL SEE HILLSIDE DRIVE BETWEEN ABERDEEN MALL AND WALMART BECOME GIANT WATERSLIDE ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Get your water wings ready. On Saturday, July 18, the stretch of Hillside Drive from Aberdeen Mall to Notre Dame Drive will become the city’s largest water slide as Slide the City comes to town. Organizer Tim McLeod of Tranquille Farm Fresh said the event will bring anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 participants to Aberdeen for a chance to ride the 1,000-foot vinyl slip-and-slide. McLeod said participants will slide down the hill on inner tubes, along with mouth guards and a waterproof bag to hold any gear that won’t stand up to a soaking. All will be provided with the cost of a ticket, Sliders have the option to purchase a single ride, three rides or an unlimited ride pack, which will offer an larger window of sliding time than the first two options. Tickets for the event will go on sale on Tuesday, May 26 online at slidethecity. com/events/kamloops. While the stretch of road chosen may seem like a steep one, McLeod said organizers had the option to go even wilder. “We can go anywhere from a six to 14 per cent grade. I believe Hillside is somewhere around the six to eight,” he said. “So, it’s not the steepest you can have, but it’ll certainly be an awesome ride.” City of Kamloops traffic engineer Elnaz Ansari told KTW permits to allow the road closure for the event are likely to be approved. “It’s looking that way. We’re still working with the applicant to get the proper traffic-control plan in place,” she said.

On the day of the event, Hillside will be closed to regular vehicle traffic, save for transit and emergency vehicles and those going to businesses in Cariboo Place. Kamloops is one of only a handful of communities in the province set to host the slide, which was created by the Slide the City company in Salt Lake City. North Vancouver and Nanaimo events are also working to host slides. McLeod is hoping the event raises the profile of Tranquille Farm Fresh, which runs a produce market and various family-friendly events at the former Tranquille sanitarium. “What we wanted to do was spread our wings a bit and encourage people who don’t know about us to come on out,” he said. “We thought the best way was to go out and do something on the South Shore that would catch people’s attention.” Farm Fresh is working with the Kamloops Sports Council on the event, McLeod said, and will donate $60 to the organization for every four hours of volunteer time the council contributes. Ticket buyers also have the option of contributing 20 per cent of the cost of their pass to the council, or shaving 20 per cent off the ticket price using promotional codes that will be posted on the Tranquille Farm Facebook page (facebook.com/ TranquilleFarmFresh). “So, you can choose: Do you want to save some money or give some money?” McLeod said. Organizers are also working with local businesses to provide 250 tickets for low-income children who could otherwise not ride the slide. For more information on the event, go online to slidethecity.com/events/kamloops.

Lepin becomes Royal Inland’s largest donor ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ken Lepin had already donated $260,000 in lab equipment to Royal Inland Hospital. But, on the day his latest contribution was unveiled, the retired Kamloops businessman decided to sweeten the pot. In addition to a new MALDI/TOF mass spectrophotometer, which will allow staff at the lab to identify bacteria samples much more quickly, Lepin announced yesterday he is donating another $300,000 to be used to replace the equipment he’s donated as it ages. “As good as the lab equipment may be today, it will eventually become obsolete or age to the point where parts are no longer available,” Lepin said at a press conference. With the latest pair of donations, Lepin is

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW

Ken Lepin announces an additional $300,000 in donations to Royal Inland Hospital yesterday. The money will be used to replace previously donated equipment as it ages. Lepin also donated $260,000 for a new piece of lab equipment at RIH.

now the hospital’s largest donor, said Alan Gozda, chairman of the RIH Foundation board.

Past donations have helped fund the hospital’s ICU, operatingroom equipment and

other laboratory devices. Together, Lepin’s donations total more than $1 million. Dr. Lisa Steele, a pathologist at RIH, said the new equipment can produce results in a third of the time previously required. While growing bacterial cultures could take 24 hours before, the new machine requires a much smaller volume, which can be grown in six to eight hours. “It will give our ER docs and our internists the answers around what their patients are infected with and what drugs are going to kill it in a much shorter time,” she said. Steele noted Lepin has donated to her area of the hospital before, with cancer-diagnostic technology and equipment for identifying C difficile and influenza. Steele thinks of Lepin as the lab’s guardian angel. “He just swoops in,” she said.

Lepin, along with his wife Maureen, is a frequent charitable donor in Kamloops. In 2014, he gave Thompson Rivers University more than $2 million for research, prizes of excellence and

other concerns. The Kamloops Art Gallery and BC Wildlife Park have also benefitted from his generosity. Lepin noted the new technology at RIH isn’t common in hospitals outside the Lower

Mainland — but is in use in Kelowna. “I believe the people of Kamloops should also have the benefit of the MALDI-TOF so that our medical care is as efficient and up-to-date as Kelowna,” he said.

Taking place twice each year, the Kamloops Food Bank’s food drives, put on by Kamloops Rotary clubs, bring in thousands of pounds of food to help feed people who rely on the food bank.

Food drives crucial for bank’s supply JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

hen the bags are ripping, it’s a good thing. It means the yellow plastic bags, which hold donations for the Kamloops Food Bank, are heavy and, likely, full of food. They tore over and over again while I was stationed in the bays during the biannual Rotary Food Bank Drive on April 25. The process was repetitive. Vehicles backed up to one of the multiple bays at Interior Vault, a Rotarian unloaded bags and we packed them into the warehouse, where others boxed, moved, sorted and shipped it all off to Wilson Street.

I put in a sweaty shift, with trucks and vans pulling up, unloading and quickly moving for the next ones. Some vehicles were so full the hatches couldn’t open without food spilling out. From dry and canned goods, personal hygiene products, toys — you name it — it was overwhelming. When I first got to my post, unloading in the farthest bay at Interior Vault, I fought back tears. I was emotional, having spent 25 days using services from the non-profit. I was even excited at seeing some items, like roasted-tomato pasta sauce. I knew how far the food would go in helping the people who use it, despite the reality those 63,000 or so pounds would last three months. Kids, parents, singles, groups buzzed around the warehouse.

also packed full of the yellow bags. Our trio worked up a sweat, passing bags down the assembly line from vehicle after vehicle. Relieved from duty, I wandered inside and found a swarm of activity. The boxed food was moved to an area where other volunteers unloaded

it from the bags onto tables, where others picked up items and carried them to labeled areas specifically for them. “Kraft Dinner, rice, coffee and tea, veggies, canned tomatoes, Sidekicks,” read signs above the tables. Some cereal boxes were soggy from the rain, but it didn’t matter. Other volunteers grabbed full boxes, loaded them onto a truck and they were taken away. It’s a well-oiled machine that relies on those in our community lending a hand for a few hours one Saturday. It’s amazing to watch and even better to be part of — more still when you’ve relied on food bank services. With a record-setting 63,000 pounds of food donated that day, I wondered what the week’s food hampers would look like.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m nearly out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the food bank is, too. I walk outside into the sunshine and see the travellers packing up their small, but newer, hatchback. It is full. I ask them where

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quebec.â&#x20AC;? They tell me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their first time in Kamloops and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruit picking.â&#x20AC;? They left in November, heading west for Vancouver to play music. I offer conversation about jam nights in the area. The man is excited when I tell them where to find live music and I ask them if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back to the food bank.

They will. They smile and the woman sticks out her hand and asks my name. We shake and I tell her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jess.â&#x20AC;? As we part, I wonder whether they are fuelling a youthful adventure or whether they left home in need of a new beginning and a bite to eat. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter when you walk in the door of the Kamloops Food Bank.

April 13, 2015: I slowed down this weekend, bought groceries and ate healthier. At this point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle adjustment. I made chilli, with plenty left for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lunches. On Saturday, I hosted dinner with family and my boyfriend, making a simple mushroom soup, rice, garden salad and barbecued skewers. It felt like the first normal meal Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d eaten in weeks. Red wine helped. April 15, 2015: 10:57 a.m.: Pay day! I owe for car insurance, my phone/cable/Internet bills and splurges on my Mastercard. I forget a Netflix subscription, which is $8, and monthly bank fees of $11. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually notice the small monthly expenses. April 16, 2015: 12:53 p.m.: People I met at the food bank are on my Facebook feed. They are busking and a friend of mine posted a picture of them, encouraging people to stop by and listen. April 20, 2015: 8:46 a.m.: I feel embarrassed and guilty. Despite my insight, I lived in privilege over the weekend as if none of it existed. On Friday, I shared beers and barbecue with friends over playoff hockey and a few hands of cards. On Saturday, I biked downtown and played tennis in the sun before barbecuing again and attending the wine festival. The night ended with me stuffing late-night pizza into my face and, as if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, I added garlic dip, hot sauce and salt to my pizza â&#x20AC;&#x201D; salt?! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just because it was there.

breakfast before knocking a tiny white ball around a landscaped green space with sticks, in the sunshine, before a turkey feast from family over more hockey. Yesterday, I was noticeably happy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; grateful for the weather, the weekend, the people in it, my life. I had not a care in the world, even with my golf ball in the bunker. I have snapped out of it, though, ashamed. How could I be so extravagant? I am thinking about the man I met at the food bank, his weekend and what he ate. I wonder how far money I spent would have taken the two French musicians. I remember hardly any food left on Thursday at the food bank. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit right. This morning I am drinking black coffee. I used my last milk for yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brunch. I was too tired from the weekend to organize meals. I have to figure something out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a long day. April 22, 2015: In the evening: Alphabet soup for dinner. I ate it as a kid. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be considered a meal as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so thin with little in it, apart from sad little letters. I ask someone how to improve it and they say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Add numbers.â&#x20AC;? I add toast. April 23, 2015: 11:15 a.m.: I feel better than when I started going to the food bank. I have learned you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive on what you get there. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up eating too much canned soup, bread and wilted lettuce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or that yogurt nobody wants. It must be supplemented with other food. This morning I noticed the coffee I got from the food bank is nearing the bottom. I never thought about it before, but I enjoy strong coffee which, ultimately, vanishes faster. April 24, 2015: 4:08 p.m.: My last few meals have been carbs. Pasta last night for dinner, a muffin for breakfast and pasta leftovers for lunch. This cycle has popped up a few times this month.

THE LONG, LONG CAMPAIGN BEGINS

ne of the side effects of having fixed election dates in Canada, a move that was pioneered by the B.C. Liberals when they first were elected in 2001, is that campaigns have become much, much longer. In fact, having a short campaign period is now considered a disaster by most political handlers. One of the criticisms made of the Alberta Progressive Conservatives (after the fact, of course), is they only had a 28-day period in which to campaign. In fact, Premier Jim Prentice broke the fixed election date law and called an election a year early. That didn’t go so well. The federal election campaign has actually been underway for some time — certainly since the beginning of the year. While Parliament is still sitting and passing laws, MPs and candidates of all stripes are hard at work getting ready for the October election. That can be witnessed in Kamloops with NDP candidate Bill Sundhu and Liberal candidate Steve Powrie almost in full campaign mode. Because of the long campaign period, voters need to treat almost everything said or done by political parties, and particularly by their leaders, with a great deal of skepticism. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair was in B.C. last week to shore up support. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has also made a number of visits to the Lower Mainland in recent weeks. While they haven’t been election rallies, his visits are directly connected to the campaign. In particular, the time he spent with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Surrey, Vancouver and several Ontario venues was invaluable. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau will almost certainly be in the province several times in the coming months as well — and it is possible Green Party leader Elizabeth May be in the vicinity. It’s likely she will spend a lot of time defending her Vancouver Island seat and trying to build on the strong interest in Green politics on the Island. Voters aren’t too engaged in federal politics right now, but the parties most certainly are.

Home is where the pets are

ust two weeks after the death of one of our family’s pets, my son — to whom that cat was more attached than any of the rest of us — witnessed a dog die. The dog had come across the East Trans-Canada Highway alongside a group of girls. They made it, but the dog didn’t. It was hit by a woman driving a truck on the on-ramp to head west into the city. She was traumatized by it, inconsolable as she parked her truck at the side of the road and tried to figure out what to do. My son was a mixture of emotions, not the least of which was complete anger that the dog had been running loose. He later learned this was more than a dog — it was an escape artist, an animal in which the need to wander, to run, to be free was pretty strong. We had one of those in the past, a beautiful creature that, given the chance, would jump the six-foot fence at the front of our yard and head out to visit the neighbourhood. We realized this quickly and made all the arrangements necessary to keep the dog in its own yard. That’s where animals belong — at home. As we head into the summer season, various agencies will be reminding us something any person with common sense should understand. It’s going to be hot and that means animals really don’t need to accompany us when we head out shopping. They belong at home.

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL They certainly don’t belong in the cab of a truck, even if there is water available, as the temperature rises. Several years ago, then-SPCA head Jennifer Gore was called upon to rescue a dog in such a situation, a beautiful creature in a vehicle parked at Walmart. The owner had left the window down a bit and an empty margarine container filled with water. The owner probably thought that was enough, but that dog had its nose shoved out the gap in the window, gasping for air. Several people saw it, called the police, who called the SPCA and Gore came to the rescue. I don’t remember exactly how the doors became unlocked — a vague memory says a very angry man came storming up demanding to know why there were uniforms surrounding his vehicle — but I do remember Gore putting a digital thermometer inside the car. We all watched the numbers rise, eventually topping off at just under 40 C. That’s just under 103 F and

definitely too hot for a dog. Recently, a Kamloops resident posted an irate message on Facebook. Someone had tried to get into her car to rescue a dog that appeared to be in distress. She acknowledged it was hot outside, but noted she was “only gone for five minutes.” Good thing the checkout line wasn’t abnormally long, the register didn’t fail and the cashier was quick. Animals belong at home or, if they’re out, they need to be on a leash and really out, not cooped up in a vehicle or tethered to the back of a truck. Even cats should be kept at home, something many feline owners might rail at. But, they won’t feel that way when a coyote, bear or wandering dog turns Fluffy into a play toy or a meal. If you know your animals are bound to wander, find a way to stop it. If you’re going out for a while, top up the water bowl and leave the animal at home. It’s traumatic enough to lose a pet. My son was devastated to learn his own indoor cat, one that rarely left his side in the house, was too sick and too old to be saved. Watching a dog die was heartbreaking for him, but he reported it and stayed by the animal’s body until someone from the city came and collected it. Then he came home to his other animals at home — because that’s where animals belong. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HOW DID WE HAVE ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT ERROR OCCUR? Editor: Re: May 14 story in KTW (‘City fined $30K for sewage leak into river’): So, five-million litres of sewage spills into our river? What I find confusing is this: The city would have technical drawings, known as valve maps, showing the location and identity of all valves. This is a WorkSafe BC requirement, so they’d definitely have this in place, right? The city would also have trained and instructed the worker in the interpretation of the valve map and the identification (Coloradocoding or numbering) and operation of the particular valve to be shut off. These, too, are WorkSafe BC requirements. Again, they’d definitely have this in place-right? I’m sure all of these controls are in place at the city. I just can’t figure out how the honest mistake happened as it did. Denis McMullen Kamloops

Editor: Ninety-million dollars. Politicians throw the word “million” around these days as it if was “thousand.” The reality is a million dollars is still a lot of money, let alone $90 million for a performing-arts centre. But, as a taxpayer, I would be willing to kick in my small tax increase to help pay for it. I do think there are higher priorities in the city than an arts centre — having just avoided a head-on across that decrepit Red Bridge, which is screaming for replacement. However, if Kamloops is ever to break away from the dusty-dry-nogrowth-no-culture city label, I think it is worth it now to bite the bullet and get on this project as prices will only escalate. It could be a great revitalization to the city core, which has not seen

any growth and still does not have a true core feeling. The downtown needs a focal point. The city does own a perfect piece of property in a perfect spot downtown and, if the proper visionary architects can offer something truly special as a legacy project, I think the arts centre could be an amazing place to bring people together. One concern I have, apart from the $90-million price tag, is whether the city has explored all possible cost-saving/cost-sharing options that could make this building’s cost more reasonable. Why could there not be a condo tower component to this centre, something in the order of eight to 10 stories, to give the city a commanding central focus? It could also lower the cost through potential sale of the condos, built through a property developer in partnership with the city.

There is a need for more condos and it would be nice to see some downtown. This would lend favourably toward a work/live environment downtown and it may even encourage other developments. We do have one chance to get it right, to build something attractive and functional, forward thinking in form and design on a perfect property that would create interest in Kamloops all across this region. We also have the chance to get it wrong by building something unattractive, boxy and nondescript. Let’s challenge architects to create something visionary and special. I suggest, if the fall referendum is approved, taxpayers must also approve the final design, not just the budget, by way of an all-encompassing focus group. Gary Birkeland Kamloops

DEAR CITY: WE NEED A BENCH AT BUS STOP Editor: I have been trying to get a bus stop bench at 1540 Springhill Dr. since 2004. I have made many calls to get an answer on this but just get the runaround. I see elderly standing and children sitting on the curb

waiting for the bus. Why do we have money to spend on everything else, but can’t make sure each bus stop has a bench? This is pretty sad. Something has to be done. Elaine Desharnais Kamloops

TOO MUCH PANHANDLING DURING VISIT Editor: I lived in Kamloops from 1978 to1995. I returned last week for a short visit and I must say I was very disappointed with the flagrant panhandling on every block. While I was still in the loading zone in front of the

Plaza Hotel, I was approached for money twice — once by a very aggressive woman. I am reluctant to ever go back downtown. Can city hall not clean this up? Rita Choquette Campbell River

Parole ends for man who stabbed woman at RIH TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man described by doctors as “floridly psychotic” in 2008 is no longer on parole — but that doesn’t mean Robert Semchuk is a free man. In a decision released on Tuesday by the Parole Board of Canada, the 51-year-old was ordered to live under seven strict conditions in a halfway house for the foreseeable future. The document also describes Semchuk’s “risk to re-offend generally and violently as high.”

In 2009, the Crown applied to have Semchuk labelled a dangerous offender — a tag that would have seen him jailed indefinitely. Instead, a B.C. Supreme Court judge named Semchuk a longterm offender and sentenced him to nine years in a federal prison. That sentence was shortened to six years after Semchuk was given credit for time served before trial. In 2006, Semchuk attacked and stabbed a 60-year-old woman outside Royal Inland Hospital before fleeing

with her purse in a stolen car. He was arrested following a police pursuit stretching from Kamloops to Merritt to Peachland. Less than a year after his arrest, Semchuk was charged with assault causing bodily harm for attacking a corrections officer at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Semchuk was in segregation at the time and the officer was taking the handcuffed prisoner to another area in the jail. After head-butting the guard, Semchuk was

tackled by four other officers. He was handed an additional 18 months in jail for the attack and ordered to spend another 30 days in segregation at KRCC. Semchuk’s jail sentence expired on Tuesday. According to parole documents obtained by KTW, Semchuk will now be bound by conditions that require him to live at the halfway house and to not consume drugs and alcohol. He must also avoid people involved with criminal activity.

Did you see anything suspicious on May 18? Kamloops Mounties are seeking information from the public while they investigate a missingperson report. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a 58-year-old Kamloops man was reported missing by his family on the afternoon of Monday, May 18 (Victoria Day). Later that evening, his vehicle

was found near the Lafarge Bridge in Dallas, but the man has not been found. Bush said a police helicopter flew over the river in the evening, while a police service dog and search and rescue volunteers checked the surrounding ground area where the vehicle was found.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area of the Lafarge Bridge on Monday evening to call the Kamloops RCMP detachment at 250-828-3000. Bush said the man’s identity is not being released, out of respect for the family’s privacy wishes.

In addition, Semchuk will be required to participate in mentalhealth counselling, take medication as prescribed and avoid contact with any of his previous victims. Semchuk has been on parole since March

2013, living at a Lower Mainland halfway house. He had two run-ins with his supervisors last year — once in April, when he failed to take his medication, and again in July, when he was late

returning home. The parole documents state Semchuk was “warned and counselled” after the slip-ups. Authorities will meet to review Semchuk’s progress every three months for the next 10 years.

Engineered to get away... And come home.

Camille said she has been asked to run, but declined because she’s busy with a family member operating her Painted Pony restaurant in downtown Kamloops. Camille said she could see strong support for Seymour and Campbell, noting the former has political experience while the latter has impressive personal and professional credentials. “He [Campbell] knows the financial issues and is a very good people person and would be welcomed in any home, any elder’s home,” Camille said. Campbell told KTW he will consider the position, but must talk with his family and the membership. “I’d like to help out the community . . . I’ll have to make my decision with my family and community in mind,” Campbell said. An accountant with an MBA, Campbell runs an aboriginal consulting business. Seymour, a veteran councillor who heads planning and engineering at the band, acknowledged the opportunity to run for chief “is in the back of my mind. “When the time is right, I’ll announce it,” he said. “I’ll probably go through summer and make my decision. I’ve got a lot of other things going on.” First-term councillor Jensen, a red seal carpenter by trade who oversees education for the TIB, commended Gottfriedson’s leadership. He said he’ll take his cue from the membership. “At this point, I’m weighing all options,” Jensen said. “I’m sure they’re [band members] looking at a number of people, including myself . . . I like what I’m doing now. That’s all I know at this point.” In the 2012 TIB election, Gottfriedson won a fourth term as chief, defeating challengers Marie Baptiste and Alice McCaleb.

Lessons from the ‘siege’ DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University learned a lot during a recent emergency exercise on campus — but officials can’t talk about the details because they all have to do with ensuring the safety of the campus community. Christopher Seguin, the university’s vice-president advancement, said he could only discuss in broad details the observations from the day-long exercise a week ago today, one that saw the university, RCMP, Kamloops Fire Rescue and B.C. Ambulance

Service — along with TRU staff and about 200 students — shut down some buildings, lock down offices and set about dealing with a scripted disaster. One of the areas that needs more work involves inter-agency communication, Seguin said, while other aspects being finetuned and reworked will flow into policies and procedures the university needs to have ready, but hopes to never have to implement. The exercise followed two years of training and preparation and, Seguin said, was the first of its magnitude at a post-secondary institute

in Western Canada. He said the partner organizations all gave the university “glowing reviews.” While the university community received many reminders the exercise was planned, what buildings would be affected and what the purpose was, Seguin said there were a few people who were surprised at the sight of armed officers, roads blocked off and yellow crime tape everywhere — but their concerns were allayed by university staff. Seguin said he found the exercise satisfying as it showed the plan that has been developed will work.

Suit claims animal’s rep was bull TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Vernon rodeo company is being sued after a bull named Slow Poke failed to live up to his name and allegedly caused serious injuries to a novice rider. Kyle Warman has filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops accusing Coyote Creek Rodeo and its two principals — Ted and Wade Marchand — of negligence resulting in serious injury. Warman claims to have begun beginner bullriding lessons with Slow Poke, a bull owned by Coyote Creek Rodeo, at its facility in July 2013. On July 10, 2013 — during his second lesson — Warman claims to have been bucked off Slow

Poke and left with a concussion, cognitive injuries, nausea, dizziness, vertigo, photophobia (discomfort or pain to the eyes due to light exposure), anxiety, personality changes, headaches, a broken wrist, an injured neck and depression. In the notice of claim, Warman claims Coyote Creek failed to provide him with any training before putting him on Slow Poke — a bull Warman was told would be compatible with inexperienced riders. “Contrary to representation, Slow Poke was violent,” the claim reads. Warman is seeking damages and health-care costs. None of the allegations against Coyote Creek Rodeo have been proven in court.

Finding strength in uniqueness CYCLING4DIVERSITY RIDES THROUGH CITY WITH MESSAGE ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

“W

hat does diversity mean?” Ken Herar’s question is met by dozens of hands in the Lloyd George elementary gymnasium. The answers are myriad: looking different, speaking differently. They’re all correct, Herar says. One student says it means being treated negatively because of your skin colour. Unfortunately, that, too, is also correct, Herar says, before sharing the experience that led to him founding the Cycling4Diversity Foundation. Five years ago, Herar came face to face with discrimination. He was excluded from a Christmas party because of his East Indian descent. The experience spurred Herar to start touring the province on his bike, speaking at schools and bringing awareness to issues surrounding diversity and inclusion. “We have to do something bigger,” Herar says. “So, I started a bike ride.” Since his first ride in 2011,

Herar and his team have visited close to 100 schools. In this, the group’s fifth ride, Cycling4Diversity is slated to make stops at between 50 and 60 schools in 11 cities. It is the first time the team has made the trip to the Thompson-Okanagan. Cycling4Diversity Week, May 17 to May 23, will bring the group to Vernon, Penticton, Kelowna, Merritt and the Lower Mainland before finishing in Abbotsford. “Racism still exists today. This is a team effort,” Herar told KTW, still catching his breath from the climb up First Avenue from city hall to Columbia Street. “We’re showcasing that different groups can come together and work together to break down barriers.” Herar was joined in Kamloops by four other cyclists — Brad Vis, Harjit Sajjan, Katie Van Nes and Sukhmeet Singh Sachal. Sajjan, who is a lieutenant-colonel in the Canadian Military, talks about his experiences in other countries when addressing students around the province. It was at a talk last year, his first with the group, that

Sajjan discovered the true impact of what the group is doing. As he was recounting his experiences in Bosnia, a pair of students mentioned they grew up in the Balkan country. Sajjan addressed them with the country’s traditional greeting and watched them light up — transforming from timid and shy into smiling and happy. “I realized that a shared experience can really light up a kid’s day,” he says. Cycling4Diversity also visited South Kamloops secondary before heading out of the Tournament Capital for the rest of their journey. “I’m here to teach the next generation of leaders what it means to be Canadian,” Sajjan told students. “Being different is unique and being unique gives us strength.” The public can follow the team’s travels on the foundation’s website, cycling4diversity.ca, or on Facebook under the Cycling4Diversity Foundation.

Lacrosse ruling favours Venom MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

an Antons considers the B.C. Lacrosse Association’s (BCLA) latest ruling a massive victory for his Kamloops Venom. “It’s a big win,” said Antons, the local junior B lacrosse team’s general manager. “It basically showed that we were right.” The Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) ruled the Venom played with ineligible players in a 14-12 win over the Kelowna Raiders on April 25 at Memorial Arena. Kamloops was stripped of two points, fined $250 and two suspensions were handed out, with head coach Justin Bosher sidelined for two games and governor Doug Clark suspended indefinitely. The Venom appealed the decision, filing complaints with the BCLA’s senior directorate, denying any infractions and accusing the TOJLL of conducting an unfair review process. On Friday, the BCLA overturned the TOJLL’s ruling and

returned the points to Kamloops. “They [the BCLA] said the review process wasn’t done right,” Antons said. “Kelowna shouldn’t have been involved in the actual voting. In the end, we won because, ultimately, the rule wasn’t violated.” Prior to the 2014 season, the TOJLL passed a rule that bans intermediate A-level players from taking to the floor in the junior B league. Josh Bosher and Anthony Matusiak — both who also play in the Lower Mainland-based B.C. Intermediate Lacrosse League — were in the Venom’s lineup on April 25. It appears the Venom found a loophole in the law. “We did not have enough

players against Kelowna, so we followed the TOJLL rule, which is you can call up intermediates to make a minimum roster of six players — and that’s what we did,” Antons told KTW earlier this month. “Two minutes later, some of the players showed up and we dressed them and put them on the scoresheet. We had like 10 more runners and added them to the scoresheet, which is allowed by a Canadian Lacrosse Association rule. “What the Thompson league says and the accusation from Kelowna is this was planned. The question is, even if it was planned, is it against the rules?” Antons expects Clark will be reinstated and the Venom will not have to pay the fine. “We wanted the points back, then we’ll deal with all the other stuff,” Antons said. “That’s where it’s at now. They already ruled, saying the rule wasn’t violated, so you cannot find them [Bosher and Clark] guilty.” Antons said the BCLA has also instructed the TOJLL to review the rule.

“Now, B.C. Lacrosse is aware and they’re saying you’ve got to look at this rule — this rule is not right,” Antons said. “You’ve got to do something about it. They’ve given them [the TOJLL] a chance to fix it and come up with a better rule.” In an interview with KTW in January, TOJLL commissioner Dan Wray said the league’s member teams do not see a reason for Kamloops to use intermediates. “Why can’t they call midgets up?” Wray asked. “They want to go to Vancouver and grab players. Ask that question — why do they want to grab top-end intermediates who really should be playing junior A? What is the reason? “They want to win at all costs. To the rest of the league, that’s what it says. “We built the league to give kids a place to play in the Okanagan that don’t go to Vancouver.” The Venom maintain using intermediates enables them to survive — and other teams were just tired of losing. “We knocked out Kelowna in the first round of the playoffs

two years ago. Here comes the rule,” Clark said. “It’s all about winning. That’s why it was done.” Wray declined to comment on the BCLA’s decision, saying, “there are some things still going on that need clearing up.” There is not likely to be any change to the rule until after the season, according to Antons, who said the Venom have shifted focus to what’s happening inside the boards. “That’s what it’s all about. We just want to play lacrosse,” Antons said. “This process was so long and I don’t blame anybody, but I had sleepless nights and so did Doug Clark.” Kamloops tied Kelowna 10-10 in the Little Apple on May 14, leaving the Snakes with a record of 3-1-1. The Armstrong Shamrocks (1-0-4) will be in town Saturday to square off with the Venom. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena. Atop the league’s standings are the Vernon Tigers, who are undefeated at 4-0. National Title Sponsor

NEW RINK COMING TO SUN PEAKS ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s a new sheet of ice coming to Sun Peaks this winter. Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality will begin construction of an NHL-sized outdoor hockey rink this summer, with plans to open the facility by the end of November. Unlike the current ice surface at the resort, the new rink will be refrigerated, making use of a system bought from a disassembled rink in Indiana. The boards that will line the surface are from Portland’s Rose Garden, now known as the Moda Center, the sometimes home of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks. “The idea is just to upgrade the current facility,” said Rob Bremner, chief administrative officer of Sun Peaks Resort Municipality.

“There’s a lot of times throughout the year, when the sun starts beating down, that it melts. This allows it to be consistent and available when we say it’s available.” The new rink will measure 85 feet wide and 200 feet long. Bremner said it will sit around “the next bend” from the current sheet, on recently acquired Crown land, just a little farther from the village centre. A building already on site will be reconditioned for use as a skate-sharpening and rental facility. Bremner said the munici-

pality has invested about $100,000 into the project, between the refrigeration plant and the boards. The expression of interest period for contractors will close tomorrow. Once interested parties have been qualified, the project will be put out for tender for interested parties to price out. Bremner said he’s not sure what the remaining costs will total, but is estimating between $400,000 and $500,000. The municipality is hopeful construction will begin in the third or fourth week of July. Though Bremner said the rink will not be a revenuegenerating initiative, he’s hopeful a more consistent surface will bring the facility to a break-even point, with skating fees covering the cost of operation. This year, for example, the

ice surface was lost unusually early, at the start of March. The majority of the project’s cost will be covered by government grants. Bremner said Sun Peaks received a grant a couple years ago and has been piecing together the rest of the needed funds since. Between 90 per cent and 95 per cent of the price tag will be covered by provincial and federal funding. The remaining expenses will be covered by funds from the resort municipality initiative. The current rink, which measures roughly 50 feet by 100 feet, will no longer be operated. The building on site, which is used in the winter for rentals and skate sharpening and in the summer as a golf maintenance shed, will be used by the golf course on a yearround basis.

He placed first at the Bare Bones Duathlon — a five-kilometre run followed by a 34-km trip on the bicycle and another five-km run — in Penticton on May 9, finishing in a time of 1:27:09. Second-place finisher Justin Birks of Penticton recorded a time of 1:28:54. Champness backed up the victory with another finish atop the podium at the Blossom 10 Miler in Naramata on May 10. He posted a time of 56:51, finishing well ahead of silver-medal winner Jeff Vogt, the Kelowna product who crossed the finish line in 58:23. Champness, who won the UBC Triathlon in March, recently

BRIEFS moved to Kamloops from Vernon.

Dogs out early

The midget AAA Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs at the Norm Caig Invitational baseball tournament in Kelowna on the weekend. Coquitlam fended off a late push from Kamloops to earn a 7-6 victory. Riley Jepson lasted five innings on the mound for the Dogs, giving up four runs on three hits with three strikeouts. Ben MacDonald gave up three runs in

relief, striking out one batter and walking three in one inning of work. Zac Austin closed out the game, giving up one hit and no runs in one inning on the hill. At the plate, Connor McKenzie had four singles, one RBI and one run, while Bryant Jameus had two singles, scored two runs and stole two bases. Kamloops was 2-1 in round-robin play. Next up for the RiverDogs (9-4) are league games on the road this weekend against Vancouver (133) and Richmond (8-4).

WHL ruling

Young players for the four Western Hockey League teams in Washington state will be exempt from certain labour laws that would have restricted their practice, conditioning

and playing time, and made them subject to the minimum wage. Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill Monday that covers all players between 16 and 20 years of age who play for a team in a regional, national or international league. The Spokane Spokesman-Review reported the bill was designed specifically to answer a complaint with the Labor Department about WHL players in Spokane, Seattle, Everett and Tri-City. The complaint contended the players are professional athletes who should be subject to all wage and hour laws. Commissioner Ron Robison says the WHL faces similar questions from labour departments in other states and provinces where it has teams.

Gaming grant

The Sun Peaks Alpine Club received $25,550 from the B.C. government’s community gaming grant program. The grant will be used for the club’s alpine ski racing program. “Not only is skiing a great sport for the whole family, but it is also an excellent way to stay fit,” KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “By funding this racing program, our government is ensuring that young people are remaining active and participating with their peers in a fun and interactive way.” About $7 million in grants is being distributed this month to approximately 200 sport and arts and culture groups around the province.

Rugby provincials have Kamloops flavour MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are several Kamloops teams looking to make some noise at the provincial high school rugby championships, which get underway this week across B.C. On the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side, the South Kamloops Titans, NorKam Saints and Valleyview Vikings will be chasing gold in separate divisions at the tournament, which begins today in North Vancouver and wraps up on Saturday. South Kamloops posted a 5-1-0 record en route to a firstplace finish in the AAA Okanagan division that featured Salmon Arm, Mount Boucherie of Kelowna and Penticton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got girls that have been in the program for four years who are in Grade 11 or 12, so we have a strong senior presence,â&#x20AC;? said Erin Connelly-Reed, head coach of the Titans. In the AA Okanagan division, NorKam placed first with a record of 3-0-1 and Valleyview was second with a record of 2-2-0. South Kam will compete in the AAA division at provincials and enters the competition as the sixth-ranked team. NorKam is ranked seventh in the AA divi-

sion and Valleyview is ranked second in the tier 2 division. On the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side, South Kam is the only local team that qualified for the provincial championships and enters the AA tournament as the fourthranked team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been helping out with the program for the last eight years and this is one of the top three teams weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had,â&#x20AC;? Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Scott Barker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made the numbers cut, with the downsizing of schools,

so we decided to drop down a level to AA and see if we could make it further at provincials.â&#x20AC;? The Titans are paced by a strong back line that includes scrum half Simon Fortier, standoff Felix Nachtigal and inside

centre Nic Gamracy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of experienced Grade 12 backs that are very fast and they move the ball well,â&#x20AC;? Barker said. No. 8 Wyatt Henry has also had a strong season. South Kam is scheduled to play L.V. Rogers of Nelson in Round 1 in Kelowna on Saturday. Game time is 4 p.m. at Parkinson Recreation Park. Should the favoured Titans advance, the next stages of the provincials will be held next week in Abbotsford. The Titans rolled through the regular season, earning lopsided victories over NorKam, Kalamalka of Vernon, Okanagan Mission of Kelowna and a combined team featuring players from Clearwater and Barriere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would expect at least to make it to the semifinal at provincials,â&#x20AC;? Barker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, I would not be too thrilled with our performance.â&#x20AC;?

MORTGAGE MATTERS

BABCOCK SIGNS WITH LEAFS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

BABS BY THE NUMBERS

TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired Mike Babcock as their new head coach. The team said in a news release Babcock will be introduced at a news conference this morning. Babcock has spent the last 10 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, winning the Stanley Cup in 2008 and going to the Stanley Cup final in 2009. His contract expires at the end of June, but the Red Wings had given him permission to negotiate with other teams. The Leafs must send a third-round pick to Detroit as compensation. Toronto reportedly beat out several clubs for Babcock’s services, including Detroit, Buffalo and San Jose. Outgoing Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment CEO and president Tim Leiweke gave credit to Toronto president Brendan Shanahan

SALARY: $50 million CONTRACT TERM: Eight years STANLEY CUPS: One (Detroit, 2008) OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS: Two (2010, 2014) MAJOR TITLES: Five (Two Olympic medals, Stanley Cup, world and world junior championships) YEARS WITH THE RED WINGS: 10; made the playoffs every year REGULAR SEASON WINNING PERCENTAGE: .627 CAREER NHL WINS: 527 NHL TEAMS HE HAS COACHED: Three (including Toronto) NHL PLAYERS WITH HIGHER ANNUAL SALARY: 44

for getting the deal done. “That’s all Shanny, he did it,” Leiweke said. “I know there were people that ultimately questioned whether or not Brendan would come in here and ultimately be a great president. “I think he, today, is a great president. You have to give him a lot of credit. This is a vision he had early on. “When we were aggressive at going out and trying to convince Shanny to come here and take this on, I knew what he was capable of. We were very comfortable that he was going to turn

A21

it into a great organization. I think this is a step towards that vision and that goal.” Babcock, a Saskatoon native, led Canada to two Olympic gold medals. The Leafs fired head coach Randy Carlyle in January, replacing him on an interim basis with assistant Peter Horachek. Babcock compiled a 458-223-105 record with the Red Wings. He also reached the Cup final with the Anaheim Ducks in 2002-2003. Babcock was behind Canada’s

bench in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, when his team claimed gold on home soil with a thrilling 3-2 overtime win over the United States. He returned for the 2014 Sochi Games and led the Canadians to gold in one of the most dominating Olympic runs in recent memory. He also led Canada to gold at the 2004 world championship and is the only coach to win a Stanley Cup, world championship and Olympic gold medal.

PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply. TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable! TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fall If the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster. TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefits of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

Argos purchased, will play at renovated BMO Field THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — After months of uncertainty, the future of the Toronto Argonauts is starting to look brighter. Bell and MLSE chairman Larry Tanenbaum announced at a press conference yesterday that they have purchased the CFL team and will relocate it to BMO Field. The team can start playing at the lakefront soccer stadium as early as next season, pending renovations to accommodate football. “I can tell you that these people have integrity and smarts. They are the highest calibre,” new CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge said of the Argos’ new owners at a news conference at BMO Field. Tanenbaum thanked the Argonauts’ fans who stuck with the struggling CFL team, which has struggled to maintain relevance in Toronto’s crowded sports scene. “You deserve the right stadium, you deserve long-term stable ownership and you deserve a winning team,” Tanenbaum

said. “We plan to deliver all of that to you.” The Argos currently play at Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays. Their lease at the domed stadium runs through the 2017 season, but can be terminated earlier. Rogers, which owns the stadium and the Blue Jays, plans to install a grass playing surface and has told the Argos their Rogers Centre lease will not be renewed. The announcement caps roughly a year of talks between Argos owner David Braley and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. “We came to an agreement that serves the best interests of the City of Toronto, the CFL, the Argos and, most of all, the fans,” Braley said. “I know it took us a bit of time to get here, but we all wanted to make sure we got this right.” Absent from the deal is Rogers Communications, which is part of the MLSE ownership group with Bell and Tanenbaum. Rogers was reportedly not interested in acquir-

ing the 142-year-old franchise, likely because it has no ties to the CFL, while Bell has a vested interest in the league through its broadcast affiliate TSN. Fans have long complained about the lack of atmosphere at Rogers Centre, where Toronto averaged under 20,000 spectators last year in a stadium that can hold more than 50,000 fans for football. Also, the Argos have found it difficult to secure decent home dates because of stiff competition from baseball and special events. In a glaring example of the Argos’ difficulties at Rogers Centre, the team has been forced to schedule its home opener this season against Edmonton in Fort McMurray, due to conflicts with the 2015 Pan Am Games and the Blue Jays. Such logistical nightmares for North America’s oldest existing sports team are unlikely at BMO Field. While Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC will remain the stadium’s primary tenant, it requires far fewer dates for home games than the Blue Jays.

ROBERT “BOB” PARSONS 1947 - 2015

It is with great sadness that we announce Robert Parsons passed away on April 29, 2015 after a lengthy illness. Being a great lover of music, “Bob” left this world just the way he would have liked it….listening to his favorite songs with his family by his side. Bob was born in Vancouver, BC on May 6, 1947 to Helen and William Parsons. He had seven brothers and sisters. He had many fond memories of spending summers out at Green Lake when he was young and enjoyed telling stories about the fun he had with his cousins and the mischief they would get into. Bob was a smart and honest man with a great sense of humor, whose witty remarks and sparkle in his eye always made people smile. Bob was kind and could not say no to anyone (except his kids of course!), however had a stubborn streak that will not soon be forgotten. Bob met his wife Lynda during one of those memorable summers when he spent time with family in Clinton. They were friends as children, and reconnected years later and married. He had three daughters and a son, all of whom he loved very much. “Clean your room” and “It’s just as easy to be five minutes early as it is to be five minutes late” will be etched into their minds forever. He will be deeply missed by his immediate and extended family. Bob had two passions – ocean fishing and his job. He loved ocean fishing, and spent many family vacations on Vancouver Island. He loved the thrill of the “big catch” and spent countless hours out in the boat. He was happiest when he was at the ocean, and spoke often about “going back to the ocean one last time”. Sadly this did not happen. His second passion was his job at Highland Valley Copper Mine where he worked as a shovel operator for 35 years. Bob had a work ethic like no other, and considered the men he worked with his second family. Up until the day he passed away, he spoke of being on Shovel #19. Bob is survived by loving wife, Lynda; daughters, Tammy (Don) and Stacey (Tom); son, Bobby; son-in-law, Robin; father-in-law, Bruce; grandchildren, Taylor, Jacob, Jonathon, Jasmine, Rosslynd, Claire, Hailey, Trinitie, and Noah; sisters, Jean and Darlene and numerous nieces and nephews. Bob was predeceased by his parents Helen and William Parsons, his three brothers and two sisters, and daughter, Tricia. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2015 from 1pm-3pm at the Hal Rogers Kinsmen Centre in Kamloops, BC. Cremation services entrusted to North Thompson Funeral & Drake Cremation Services, Kamloops, BC, telephone 250-377-8225.

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z T. J. BRUCE APPS

GEORGE ALTON BEDARD

Thomas James Bruce Apps passed away peacefully on May 15th, 2015 at Hospice in Kamloops with family members at his side. Dad was born in Toronto on December 20, 1922.

July 4, 1939 – May 14, 2015

Bruce was predeceased by his loving wife Grace in 2004 and he is survived by his five children: Randy Apps of North Vancouver, Rick (Shelley) Apps of Sicamous, Renny (Deb) Apps of Kamloops, Debbie (Trevor) McBride of Kamloops and Barb (Bill) Robillard of Chemainus, BC. He also leaves his 10 grandchildren, Chris, Teri, Brian, Natasha, Steve, Julie, Carrie, Leslie, Leah and Jay and 10 great-grandchildren. He is survived by his brother Art (Lynn) Apps of White Rock and was predeceased by his sister Ivy Wisemiller. At the age of five, dad and his family made the long journey across Canada from Toronto to Vancouver. At the beginning of the Depression, the family moved to County Line in the Fraser Valley. At the start of the war, the family moved back to Vancouver in 1940, and dad got a job as a bicycle courier with Eagle Time Delivery Systems. His boss was the notorious Joe Philliponi. In the early 40’s he moved to Big Bar Creek and worked at the OK Ranch with his brother Art. Dad joined the army in Vernon and went overseas with the Calgary Highlanders. He landed in Normandy on D-Day +6, June 12th, 1944 at the age of 21. Dad returned from the war as a member of the Canadian Scottish Regiment. Dad arrived home from the war and purchased a Harley Davidson motorcycle with his War Veterans Gratuity. On his way to work to the L & A Ranch early in the morning, he would wake the people of Armstrong up with the noise of his new motorcycle. Bruce met Grace, the love of his life, in Vernon and they shared many dances at the dance hall in Coldstream. Mom and Dad were married in Agassiz, where dad worked as a police officer. Dad then applied through the Veterans Affairs for the mechanic training course. He did his training in Vancouver and then got a job with Pacific Western Airlines in February 1955 at Sprout Lake in Port Alberni. After a few years, dad moved his family to Prince Rupert and continued to work for Pacific Western Airlines as the base manager. He heard of a job opening in Vancouver with Canadian Pacific Airlines, so we packed up again and moved to Richmond. We settled into our home in Richmond and stayed put until 1968, when dad transferred with the airlines up to Kamloops. After a year, the airlines pulled out of Kamloops, so dad made a big decision to leave the company. He then went to work at the Dept. of Highways in security at Tranquille, and finished his working days at the Kamloops Regional Corrections Centre. Dad now had the time to enjoy his friends and family, as well as the birds, squirrels, his music, fishing and road trips. Dad also became a member of the Kamloops Target Sports Association, where he made many friends. Dad lived in his own home on the North Thompson River with a beautiful view of the mountains until six days before his passing. In his last days at the Hospice House, dad could still enjoy the beautiful view of the Kamloops valley and the care that the nurses and his family gave him. The family would like to thank all the caregivers from Community Health and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House who helped us care for dad. A memorial service was held on Wednesday May 20, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at The Dunes Golf Course Clubhouse in beautiful Westsyde. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Surrounded by his family in a room filled with much love and adoration, Al peacefully passed away. Our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and good friend will be dearly missed and forever remembered. Born in Kamloops, his parents George and Kay, raised him and his three brothers in their Heffley Creek homestead. Growing up, he attended Heffley Creek Elementary, Kamloops High School and BCIT. For over 48 years, Al was a very valuable member of the team at Balco/Tolko Industries as a saw-filer and then later become the lathe operator. Well respected by his co-workers and management, Al’s strong work ethic is a trait he instilled in all of his children. The team from Balco/Tolko formed strong bonds working together and this showed through in the experiences and stories Al shared with his family. As most in Heffley Creek know, community is a big part of everyday life and Al took pride in volunteering for the Heffley Creek Water District for over 38 years. In September of 1961, Al and his bride Sheila were married at the Lady of Lourdes Parish in Heffley Creek. They built their home together in 1965 on Tod Mountain Road, where they raised Dion, Deanna, and Deborah. The property holds a special place in all of their hearts and the children plan to create many more memories with their families and the loving community of Heffley Creek. Another large passion of Al’s was the outdoors; he loved to spend time camping, fishing and hunting and gave his children the opportunity to love the outdoors as well. There are many fond memories of summers spent at Knouff Lake, Badger Lake and East Barriere Lake. Al’s love and devotion to his family and friends will forever be cherished. Al is survived by his children Dion Bedard (Michele) Gabriel, Madeline, Samuel; Deanna Loychuk (Jackson) Petro, Maximus; Deborah Bacon (Corey) Brody, Dylan, Sophie, Jack and his three brothers Jim (Loretta), Larry (Lynn) and Joe (Evelyn) along with many wonderful nieces and nephews. Al was predeceased by his loving wife Sheila in 2013, his parents George and Kay Bedard, his in-laws Omar and Marie Fair and an infant brother Eugene. Everyone is welcome to join the family at Prayers on Friday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. at St. John Vianney Parish located at 2826 Bank Road, Westsyde. Father Andrew L’Heureux will celebrate the Funeral Mass at St. John Vianney Parish on Saturday, May 23 at 11:00 a.m. with a luncheon reception to follow. A very special thank you to all the angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, their kindness and professionalism were above and beyond in every way.

Province, Petronas sign LNG-related deal THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia and Malaysian energy giant Petronas have signed an agreement toward a potential $36-billion liquefied natural-gas project near Prince Rupert. Premier Christy Clark announced the deal yesterday. The agreement is a memorandum of understanding outlining steps toward a deal, but is not a final investment decision by the company. Clark said she will recall the legislature to adopt legislation for the project, which would be the largest capital investment in the province’s history. Petronas-controlled Pacific NorthWest LNG is proposing to build an LNG export facility at Lelu Island. Michael Culbert, president of Pacific NorthWest, said there’s still work to be done, including negotia-

tions with First Nations and environmental approval from the federal government. Federal Industry Minister James Moore called the proposed project a massive opportunity for the province. “This is an important moment for Canada, for British Columbia,’’ he said. “We want to get to a yes.’’ Government officials say the proposal includes long-term royalty agreements that bring revenue minimums to the province and rate stability to Petronas. The royalty rates, which are preset annually, start at just above six per cent and rise to a maximum of 13.36 per cent, bringing an estimated $7.7 billion in revenue to the province over the 23 years of the proposed project.

Prosecutor says shooting justified THE CANADIAN PRESS

SUMAS, Wash. — A prosecutor in Washington state said a U.S. Border Patrol agent was justified in fatally shooting a 20-year-old British Columbia man who crossed the U.S.Canada border illegally in March and sprayed the agent with bear spray. Whatcom County prosecutor Dave McEachran said the agent retreated as far as he could from the young man, identified as Jamison Childress, and warned the man he would have to shoot if the bear spray was deployed. The RCMP in Alberta have said the young man from Prince George was sought on a murder charge in the killing of 18-year-old Brando Walker in that province. Walker’s partially burned body was found on the Tsuu T’ina Nation reserve near Calgary on March 7, although RCMP said he was killed in a Calgary home. The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office took the lead in investigating the March 19 shooting. Childress was

confronted after he walked across the border near Sumas, Wash., and tripped a border sensor. He reportedly screamed, “Kill me!’’ at responding officers. Sumas Police Chief Chris Haugen and Sumas Police officer Daniel DeBruin were among those who responded after another Border Patrol agent initially confronted Childress. According to an account McEachran released on Tuesday, Childress started walking toward Haugen and DeBruin, screaming, “Kill me!’’ and “Just [expletive] shoot me!’’ while pointing the can of bear spray at the officers. The officers backed their cars up as he got closer, then Childress turned and started toward a second Border Patrol agent who had recently arrived. The agent yelled for Childress to stop, but he sped up, yelling, “You better [expletive] kill me pig!’’ according to the prosecutor’s report. When the agent had backed up to a drainage ditch and had nowhere else to go, he warned

Childress that if he used the bear spray, the agent would have to shoot, the report said. “The officer was sprayed before he fired,’’ McEachran said. “The officers could see this huge cloud sprayed. It was coming right at his face. He shot his gun at that point, then was overcome by the spray.’’ While the agent fired twice, only one bullet was recovered in an autopsy. The Whatcom County medical examiner said Childress died from a gunshot wound to the left temple. A toxicology test showed Childress was under the influence of THC, a substance found in marijuana. “We found out later on he was wanted for murder in Calgary,’’ McEachran told The Bellingham Herald newspaper. ``(Officers) never know when they’re going to encounter someone who is wanted for a really serious crime.’’ “These are always really traumatic things for everybody, certainly for the officers,’’ he said. “It’s always tragic to lose life.’’

EDUCATION KEY IN STEMMING JIHADIST GROWTH SIDHARTHA BANERJEE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — In the wake of the arrest of 10 young Montrealers suspected of wanting to join jihadist groups overseas, experts say more needs to be done to educate and counter the extremist rhetoric some Canadian youth have been eager to embrace. The 10 were detained last weekend at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and released without charge after having their passports seized. Reports in mid-January that six young people from the Montreal area had left to join jihadist groups

in the Middle East were followed by terrorism-related arrests in the city, as well as authorities successfully getting other people to sign peace bonds that restrict their activities. One expert said it’s too soon to say if the arrests in Quebec this year mean the province is a more fertile hotbed for jihad recruiting than other Canadian jurisdictions. “We’ve had people leave for jihad from other provinces,’’ said Stephane Leman-Langlois, a criminologist and co-director of a group that studies radicalization and violent extremism. “Last year, we would have spoken about Ontario . . . so I’m not

sure there’s a long-term phenomenon where Quebec is going to stand out.’’ Leman-Langlois, a professor at Universite Laval in Quebec City, said what is particular about Quebec is the increased surveillance by authorities since two terror attacks last fall with ties to the province. Another factor may be what he calls an anti-Muslim sentiment in the province. “The one thing that stands out is the way the Muslim community is becoming more and more ostracized in Quebec — in the political discourse, in [some] media,’’ Leman-Langlois said.

“That really doesn’t help and a lot of young Muslims in Quebec are feeling less and less at home here and more like they belong somewhere else.’’ The RCMP has not provided any details about the arrests, saying its investigation is ongoing and that relatives and friends of the 10 were caught off-guard by news of the impending departures. That shock is one Christianne Boudreau encounters often in her fight against extremism and the radicalization of Canadian youth. “I’m not surprised. You’re going to see more and more of it unless we start taking care of what we need to take care of on our own

Alberta budget in fall EDMONTON — Incoming Alberta premier Rachel Notley said her NDP government won’t be tabling a full provincial budget until the fall. She said the legislature will be asked to approve what she called an “interim supply budget’’ to finance operations of government in the meantime. Notley said the legislature is to reconvene on June 11, with a speech from the throne four days later. She said she and her 12-member cabinet are to be sworn in on Sunday and will hold their first meeting in Calgary next week. Notley said other members of the legislature elected in the May 5 vote are to be sworn in on June 1. The NDP won 54 of the province’s 87 seats in the legislature and toppled a 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty. — The Canadian Press

doorstep,’’ said the Calgary-based Boudreau, whose 22-year-old son Damian Clairmont died fighting for the Islamic State in Syria last winter. “And it rips my heart apart to see that many more families are going to have to go through it. Yes, they’re still alive. Yes, they’re still here, but it doesn’t make it any easier.’’ Boudreau said she has lobbied the federal government for more prevention and education resources and is dismayed by a federal strategy focused more on sweeping anti-terror laws like Bill C-51 and military action she suggests only emboldens jihad recruiters.

Third campaign debate set JENNIFER DITCHBURN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Conservatives are keeping their grip on the pre-election steering wheel, agreeing to a third national debate — one to be held on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s home turf in Calgary and focused on the economy. The party announced yesterday it has accepted a proposal for a third federal election debate sponsored by the Globe and Mail and Google Canada. “We look forward to this opportunity for voters to compare our plans to keep the Canadian economy strong to the tax-and-spend plans of the opposition,’’ spokesman Kory Teneycke said in a statement. Teneycke has said Harper will participate in five debates and has already given the nod to one in August hosted by Maclean’s magazine and another by

the French language network TVA. The Conservatives shook up the debate scenario by walking away from negotiations with the consortium of major TV networks that traditionally broadcast the events. They have emphasized they would like to participate in debates on different media, since Canadians are following current affairs on different platforms. There are also strategic considerations for the Conservatives, who are focused on highlighting the differences between their longtime leader and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, a relative newcomer. A debate on the economy would theoretically favour Harper, who campaigned successfully in 2011 on the message that voters needed to stick with his stable government rather than try something new. “They want more opportunities for Trudeau to ‘shine’ in formats he

might not be as rehearsed for,’’ former Harper communications director Andrew MacDougall posted to Twitter yesterday. “Adding to number of debates also deadens impact of any one debate/ slip up.’’ So far, the New Democrats have said they are anxious for leader Tom Mulcair to debate Harper no matter the venue. They have agreed in principle to the three debates Harper has endorsed, while not ruling out the consortium. The Liberals have yet to confirm their debate plans but, along with the Greens, they have defended the consortium format as the best way to reach the maximum audience — 14-million viewers in 2011. The consortium is made up of CBC/ Radio-Canada, Global and CTV. The federal election is schedule to be held on Oct. 19 as part of the legislated four-year terms.

Expert quits VANCOUVER — A prominent economist has dropped out of the National Energy Board’s review process of Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, saying the system is broken. Robyn Allan, former CEO of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, said she is withdrawing as an expert intervener because the panel is biased and the outcome is predetermined. The National Energy Board had approved her participation in the review process for her expertise in risk, insurance, economics and corporate structure. Kinder Morgan is proposing a $5.4-billion expansion that would triple the capacity of an existing pipeline to carry 890,000 barrels of petroleum per day from Alberta to a terminal in Burnaby. Allan pointed to several issues she sees with the review process, including that it excludes oral crossexamination, allowing the company to respond to questions in writing, and doesn’t consider the environmental or socioeconomic effects of bitumen exploration. The National Energy Board and Kinder Morgan did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A final decision on the project is expected in January 2016.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Busy year, heavy schedule on tap for KSO Its Beethoven festival was a success so the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra (KSO) is focusing on another classical composer to wrap up its 20152016 season. It will be all things Mozart the first week of May next year, with symphonies, concertos, chamber music, a choral piece, opera, special events, speakers and a presentation of the film Amadeus. The week starts off with a flute and harp concerto on April 30, featuring Overture: The Impresario, Concerto for Flute and Harp in C Major and Symphony #40. Guest conductor Gordon Gerrard and the Luminaro Duo of Heather Beaty on flute and Joy Yeh on harp join the KSO. The week wraps up with the KSO, its chorus and five guests performing several of Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works, including the overture to The Magic Flute, Piano Concerto #21, Symphony #5 in Bb Major and the Coronation Mass. Performing with the KSO will be pianist Sara Davis Buechner, soprano Danielle Faulkner, mezzo-soprano Katie Miller, tenor Tony Caruso and baritone Scott Brooks. The season will kick off on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 with some other classics as the KSO, under the direction of guest conductor Melanie Leonard, performs music by Howard Shore and John Williams, including

works from The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars films. Popular music is reprised in October with one of two presentations by the Jeans â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Classics Band. Last year, during the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Beatles performances, audiences were surveyed on what other popular music theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to hear this year. The results showed a leaning toward both ABBA and The Eagles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so both are on the schedule. Dancing Queen-The music of ABBA with lead vocalists Katalin Kiss, Andrea Koziol, Stephanie Martin and Lis Soderberg will be presented on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25, with Michael Shotton and the Jeans â&#x20AC;&#x2122;N Classics Band doing Life in the Fast Lane-The Music of the Eagles on April 15 and April 16. Some of the annual favourites return for the upcoming season, including The Magic of Vienna on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16, and Christmas with the KSO on Dec. 12 and Dec. 13, featuring soprano Carlene Wiebe. Pianist Maxim Bernard joins the orchestra on Feb. 13 for The Genius of Ravel, which will include An American In Paris, Pictures At An Exhibition and Piano Concerto in G Major. The focus is on Sibelius on Nov. 13, with violinist Marc Kjokic sharing the stage as the orchestra presents Finlandia, Symphony

1 in 4 people will experience hearing loss. Are you willing to take the risk?

1 in 4 Canadians identify themselves as deaf, or hard of hearing.* Hearing loss does not discriminate by race, age sex or occupation and can sneak up on you at any time, causing confusion, frustration and stress for you and your loved ones.

Why Choose Miracle-Ear?

Unaddressed hearing loss can have an impact on your earning potential, and in seniors, can put them at a higher risk of developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language, judgement and behaviour (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine). A simple hearing screening can dramatically improve your quality of life!

Cruising Turkey like a millionaire ANDREW RENTON

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

runch time! “I’ve booked our ‘gulet’ and need to send a deposit right away. You’ve all given your OK and I am going ahead on that basis.” This red-tagged email from our trip organizer appears in my inbox on a wet day. The time for planning over copious bottles of plonk is over. No more what-ifs. Too bad if Fred breaks his leg playing hockey or Jane gets laid off or the old furnace blows just before the May departure date. All 18 of us are on the hook. A gulet began as a traditional Turkish two masted wooden schooner. It has an ideal design for fishing, sponging, cargo moving — even plundering the odd Greek Island way back when. Today, the word ‘gulet’ conjures up images of lolling around on richly upholstered deck cushions, sipping bubbly under a relentless Mediterranean sun and pigging out on delectable meals served up on white tablecloths by impeccable, unobtrusive staff. The only stress may come from choosing activities for the day. Perhaps a quiet bay

for lunch? A swim? A nice snooze while the captain steams into a small village for a touch of carpet trading? Does that sound like an ad for Freedom 55 or “Yikes, ma, we’ve just won the lottery!”? Smart Turkish boatbuilders from around Bodrum and Marmaris spotted cruising potential back in the early 1970s. With the promise of pristine islands, untramelled beaches and secluded bays a mere pitcher’s toss away, tourists began looking for boats to charter. Before long, master craftsmen were beavering away with hammers, saws and chisels at beachside shipyards to fill the demand. Monster vessels with shining wooden decks and luxurious en-suite, air-conditioned cabins started rolling from slipways into the sea. Each required a year or more to construct. Today, we arrive in the small South Western Turkish port of Gocek in dribs and drabs. Some had chosen to add side trips along the way. To get nine couples to commit to a date for a dinner party is formidable enough, never mind a commitment for 10 days on a boat thousands of kilometres away. Surely a non-starter — unless you have a skilled, no-nonsense, organizer, as we do.

WINE DINNER FEATURING

LEFT: The Lyceum Tombs at Myra. BELOW: Relaxing in paradise for about $100 per day. ANDREW RENTON PHOTOS

IF YOU GO:

Getting there: Easy-Jet from London Gatwick. South Eastern Turkey is surprisingly well served by cheap UK charter companies. Booking: Book direct and save commission. Go to this website for full details: cemreyachting.com. Note: It is easy to sign up for a cruise by joining a group using a travel agent like bitezyachting.com or just by showing up in Bodrum or Marmaris, which are the main ports of departure.

Fast forward. Our gulet, Cemre 4, all 30 metres of her, sits at the dock gleaming in the sunshine.

Her chef is wheeling the last of the supplies up the gangplank. Two boatboys are already fluffing up

her cushions and polishing rails. Capt. Hayati Arabali has just finished checking the

cabins and greets us with a warm Turkish smile. Two major issues have already been settled — a lottery for the choice of cabins and, following extensive wine and beer tastings at the local supermarket, we settle on the poison of choice. After all, cruising is thirsty work. To avoid total inertia, it was decided we would make two shore excursions each day and spend the evenings at anchor in a perfect bay. For 10 days we explore The Lycian tombs at Myra; join the pilgrims at The Church of St Nicholas, where the bones of

Santa Claus have lain since his death in AD 343; sing lustily in the ancient ruins of the theatre in Kas; buy enough carpets to open a scad of stores back home. We eat scrumptious dinners in deserted bays and share empty white sand beaches with goats. We celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries and toast our persuasive leader, without whom this experience would surely never have happened. The cost for 10 days of living like millionaires? Around $100 per person per day. The verdict? Where to next year?

NEW YORK — The company whose name has long been synonymous with telephones is looking for new ways to reach out and touch someone — including inside vehicles with enhanced mobile connectivity on the road. AT&T, which had a popular “Reach Out and Touch Someone’’ slogan in the 1980s, now wants to be on your TV, car and even trashcan. AT&T Inc. is spendWe don’t ing USD $48.5 billion view ourselves to buy satellite TV provider DirecTV as it as a phone looks for new ways to company package access — wireanymore. less and wired — with traditional and online — Ralph de la Vega video. AT&T Mobility president It’s also revamping its stores to showcase other services, including the ability to unlock your home’s front doors through an app to let in contractors. It’s equipping cars with data connections for diagnostic, roadside assistance and entertainment systems. It’s even putting data sensors into inanimate objects such as parking meters and water pipes to build smarter cities. And, last year, the company adopted “Mobilizing Your World’’ as its slogan to reflect a desire to be part of your entire life — not just on phones. “We don’t view ourselves as a phone company anymore,’’ said Ralph de la Vega, the company’s longtime mobile chief who took on greater responsibilities beyond phones after a company reorganization. Driving the transformation is a slowdown in the U.S. phone business, given that most Americans already have cellphones. And, although people have been using their cellphones more heavily, especially to watch video, that hasn’t translated into a corresponding increase in revenue, largely because of price competition. All phone companies have been looking beyond phones for growth, but none of them has been as aggressive as AT&T, the secondlargest U.S. wireless carrier. No. 1 carrier Verizon announced a $4.4 billion bid last week to buy AOL for its advertising and video services, but AT&T’s DirecTV bid is 11 times that amount. The deal, which AT&T hopes to complete within weeks, would make AT&T the leading traditional TV provider in the U.S., surpassing Comcast, and push AT&T farther into Latin America, where DirecTV is strong.

A new Canadian-made smartphone app aimed at tracking driving habits takes Big Brother for a ride KEVIN BISSETT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

FREDERICTON — A new smartphone app means parents can now be backseat drivers to their kids, without having to leave home, and an Internet and privacy lawyer says its use raises some interesting questions. Fredericton-based GeodeTech has released its GeodeVu tracking app that records a driver’s route along with driving behaviours, such as speeding, hard braking, and even distracted driving. “We call our product a solution for driver analysis and behaviour coaching,’’ said Michel Chiasson, the company’s CEO. “As you start driving around, what’s going to happen is you will see the true behaviours coming through,’’ he said. The app can be downloaded for free on Android, iOS and Blackberry 10 phones, while the tracking service will cost you a monthly rate of $9.95. The app uses the GPS and other functions in the driver’s phone to track its location, and whether it’s used for calls or texting while the car is in motion. Parents concerned with ongoing driver training can log into a website to see where and how their child has been driving. “What are the great

GeodeVu allows fleet managers — and, potentially, parents — to track driving habits.

behaviours that we want to reinforce and what are things that we want to change?’’ said Chiasson. Chiasson said his company has lots of competitors but

right now it’s the only one that is tracking distracted driving. “We think we have something very unique in the fact that we are leveraging the technology in mobile

phones,’’ he said. Aside from tracking young drivers, GeodeTech is promoting its service to companies with fleet vehicles, and to insurance companies to rate drivers for good driver rebates. Chiasson said the app now has just over 1,000 users, and is about to start making a profit. “We have some very strong momentum where we have one of the top three beer distributors in North America as a client, also one of the top three retailers in Canada ready to go for a pilot project, and one of the top 10 North American insurance carriers about to sign with us.’’ David Fraser, a lawyer with the firm McInnes Cooper in Halifax, said the advent of smartphones has made it easier and cheaper to track people, and raises a number of privacy concerns. He said companies can track your driving and location if it is reasonable under the circumstances, such as a company needing to know where their trucks are and if they are being driven properly. But Fraser said it should never be done covertly. “You should always make sure that if it is being used for employees that they are told that this is happening, and that they are told about the policies that are underlying it,’’ he said.

AT&T banking on mobile diversity App raises From page B9

“As the U.S. industry has gotten more competitive, they’ve made some steps to diversify,’’ said Jon Atkin, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. “Verizon has a little bit less product diversity, and certainly less geographic diversity — if you want to call it, greater focus.’’ AT&T’s transition has been years in the making as wireless supplanted landline phones. But, the move beyond phones — wireless or otherwise — is accelerating with the impending DirecTV purchase and a growth in car models with connectivity built in. Of course, the phone isn’t going away. AT&T typically gets more monthly revenue for smartphone service (up to $40) than a tablet, wristwatch or car connection ($10 each). These emerging businesses represent ways to get that same phone customer to pay more.

It really puts us in a position to “grow. ”

— Glen Lurie, CEO of AT&T Mobility

With DirecTV, AT&T will be able to package video in new ways. AT&T already provides traditional TV services to 6 million households in 21 states through fixed-wire lines. DirecTV would add more than 20 million households nationwide, and the combined 26 million would exceed Comcast’s 22 million for TV. AT&T wants to add wireless to packages now made of TV, Internet and wired phone lines. And, it wants to distribute video content to more places, including phones and the backseats of cars. “We believe that going forward, when people start making decisions around mobile services, it’s going to be around what I can do with those services,” said John Stankey, AT&T’s chief strategy officer. “‘Can I watch video

that’s important when I’m on the go or wherever I am?’’’ Cars, meanwhile, contributed to more than half of the 1.2 million wireless service connections that AT&T added in the first quarter. These are primarily car manufacturers needing data connections for diagnostic systems and consumer-facing services such as OnStar navigation and roadside assistance. AT&T has partnerships with eight car manufacturers, including General Motors, Ford and BMW, and expects to be the data-service provider for half of the new wirelessconnected passenger vehicles this year. While AT&T sells data connections to car manufacturers — in some cases, to resell to drivers as part of OnStar and the like — AT&T is also targeting consumers directly with

the promise of backseat entertainment and other benefits. (It hasn’t said how many have subscribed, though the business appears small for now.) With AT&T’s Digital Life home-automation and security services, people can unlock doors, turn off lights and check security cameras remotely through an app. And, AT&T is making a big push for business and government customers. After selling them wireless and wired phone connections, it’s selling them new ways to use those connections, such as vehicle tracking and mobile timecards for payroll. But why stop at employees? AT&T is also selling new types of wireless connections for water pipes to warn of leaks and garbage cans to say when they are full. AT&T might get a cut of any savings when garbage trucks don’t have to drive to nearly empty cans. AT&T is also develop-

ing systems that analyze traffic patterns, so traffic can be rerouted before congestion forms. A car skidding on a patch of ice might even warn other vehicles behind it, without any human intervention. Some of these projects are in research labs, while others have real customers in trials and smaller deployments. Jefferies analyst Mike McCormack said that other than DirecTV, many of these initiatives won’t produce much revenue. Take cars: It’s one thing to include data capabilities; it’s another to get people to pay another monthly fee. Nonetheless, it’s revenue AT&T didn’t have before. “We are going to be touching the customers in every aspect of their lives, whether it be the car, the home, the smartphone,’’ said Glenn Lurie, who heads AT&T Mobility. “It really puts us in a position to grow.’’

privacy concerns From page B9

He said the same applies to the driving habits of your child. Chiasson said his company is providing the software and service, and it’s up to the end user to deal with any privacy concerns. “There are privacy laws in place, however employers would have to defend that if there is a challenge in court,’’ Chiasson said. But he defends the technology, saying it’s no different than putting a camera in your house to watch the kids in the playroom to ensure they are safe. GeodeTech plans to store the driving information indefinitely, prompting Fraser to say people should consider the increasing amount of information that’s kept about all of us. “As long as the information exists, it can be obtained,’’ he said. “We are producing a lot of digital exhaust in our lives — information about where we’ve been, what we’re doing, where our phones are, and all that sort of information.’’
