Racist graffiti spurs call to Mounties TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties are investigating racist graffiti spray-painted on a retaining wall near the Aberdeen home of a young black family. Neighbour Dean Gladue said he noticed the vandalism — the word “nigger” in blue spray paint — on Sunday morning. “You come into our strata and it’s in big, bold blue letters — nigger,” he told KTW. “The sad part is there’s a young black family that lives right across the way from that. I’m sure they can see it from their living room.”

Gladue phoned police and an investigator was in the neighbourhood on Sunday afternoon talking to residents. “There’s only so much they can do and so much they can investigate,” Gladue said. “All they can do is take down the information and make enquiries.” Gladue said residents of his townhouse complex are upset by the racist vandalism. “It’s not just your regular graffiti — it’s a hate crime,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that it’s happened. “Hopefully, we can catch this son of a bitch that did this. “I think we need to pull together and make the community realize that we’re not going to tolerate this.”

The investigation is ongoing.

The City of Kamloops nearly identified a problem at its O’Connor lift station in Dallas early enough to prevent a spill of sewage into the South Thompson River. But, as an internal city memo obtained by KTW shows, several early red flags weren’t acted upon, allowing sewage at the Dallas site to build up for more than two weeks and eventually leak into a nearby creek in the fall of 2014. The city waited eight months to announce it had released about 4,100 cubic metres —the volume of two Olympic-sized swimming pools — of effluent into the river. The city’s public admission came in May, when it agreed to spend $20,000 on fish-habitat rehabilitation as a penalty and install an $8,000 sewer alarm system. The memo, written by the city’s humanresources department, was sent to KTW anonymously with the message: “Wanted the public to know what really happened.” According to the memo, utilities staffer Ian Price (identified in the city’s annual remuneration reports as a water and wastewater operator) flagged the lift station for investigation on Sept. 18, only days after another city worker had mistakenly shut off the wrong valve at the station. But, the memo states, Price’s regular supervisor was on vacation at the time and the notice went to utilities crew leader Mike Long, who was filling in. “Long acknowledges later that he may have received it but in the absence of the Supervisor, he was signing time sheets and had a lot of things to do and he missed it,” the memo states.

For the next nine days, Price and fellow wastewater and water operator Trevor Childs continued to fill out reports on the city’s lift stations, but neither mentioned any issues. “No abnormalities are cited and all ‘investigate further’ boxes are clear,” the memo states. On Sept. 28, Long, now returned to his usual role, ran his own check on the city’s lift stations and discovered the O’Connor station had flatlined, with no pump activity since Sept. 15. Long had Childs investigate while doing lift-station checks. “Trevor did go out to the lift station but didn’t find a burst pipe and there was no odour so he left. No further action was taken,” the memo states. The memo also sheds light on the mistake that first led to the station backing up, which appears to have begun because of confusion with the city’s utility colour-coding system. The technician who was at the lift station to shut off the irrigation system for winter said drawings he was using to identify the correct valves showed utility valves were painted green and irrigation valves were painted blue. However, utilities supervisor Rob Smith told HR the opposite is the case. The memo states there are no dates on the drawings, but notes they are supposed to be updated annually. The technician, Dean Slater, had his own difficulties with the lift sta-

tion, which he reported to another utilities supervisor. Once the wrong valve had been opened, “he tried to exercise the valve but couldn’t close it,” the memo states. Slater would go back a day later to again attempt to close the valve. “He was unsuccessful so he shut ‘it’ off and left,” the memo states. Slater sent a memo to his supervisor, saying he was unable to turn off the irrigation service, but heard nothing further on the matter. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin told KTW the city has since updated its colour coding and mapping for the lift station, but added he could not speak to specifics about the new alarm system it was ordered to install by the province. The city considers the original shutoff at the lift station “human error,” Trawin said, but one that should have been caught through existing checks. “I can tell you we did our investigation and some employees did not follow the proper procedures we did have in place to catch these kind of things — and those people have been dealt with, including a termination,” Trawin said. Other penalties handed out included suspensions of various lengths, including one “very lengthy” suspension, Trawin said. The city’s union, CUPE Local 900, has filed a grievance over the firing. Human resources manager Colleen Quigley told KTW in an email the issue is headed to arbitration.

Weapons seized in raid RCMP raided a Westsyde home early Friday morning, seizing five long-barrel guns along with what they believe is a large amount of stolen construction equipment. Maurice Richard Tremblay, 26, was arrested at the house in the 800-block of Elder Road and held over in custody. He was scheduled to make a first appearance by video in Kamloops yesterday. Police said the seizure includes restricted and prohibited firearms. Tremblay faces 10 charges on weaponsrelated offences. Sgt. Darren Michels said property-related charges may follow. Police are attempt-

Gas-station robber escapes with cash

Kamloops Mounties continue to search for a man who robbed a Sahali gas station at knifepoint on Thursday. Police say the man robbed the Super Save Gas Bar in the 1300block of Summit Drive, escaping with some cash. One man with similar clothing to that of the robber was questioned

near the B.C. Liquor Store, but released. A search of the area by a police dog failed to find the robber. The suspect was initially described as being a tall, slim white man in his mid-30s. He was wearing blue jeans, a hooded poncho and a blue Nike ball cap with a white Nike swoosh on the front and back. Police say he may have changed into white shorts and white T-shirt after ducking into a nearby store after the holdup. Anyone with information about this robbery suspect is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

OTTAWA — A report by auditor general Michael Ferguson on Senate expenses is scheduled to be released today and includes local Sen. Nancy Greene Raine on the list of senators who have repaid some or all of expenses wrongfully claimed. Ferguson’s audit singles out nearly $1 million in problematic spending by 30 senators. Already, nine senators have had their files referred to the RCMP for a criminal review. Greene Raine is not among those nine senators. In fact, her amount to be repaid is among the lowest, at $2,800. According to the report, she has repaid $2,300. The report, a copy of which was reviewed by The Canadian Press, calls for “transformational change’’ in Senate spending and urges senators to act quickly on the recommendations. Two of the Senate’s most influential members have repaid thousands

of dollars in expenses flagged by Ferguson and are backing down on their plans to challenge his findings. Senate Speaker Leo Housakos and Senate Liberal leader James Cowan say they have repaid the money, even though they disagree with Ferguson’s conclusion that they filed improper expense claims. In a statement, Housakos said he has repaid about $6,000 for questionable contracts from his office and travel claims for one of his staff. “I remain steadfast in my belief that all of my actions as a senator and now as Speaker have been in good faith, in adherence with the rules governing the Senate and most of all with due regard for Canadians,’’ Housakos said. Cowan said he has repaid about $10,000 for travel Ferguson said wasn’t for parliamentary business. “I stand by my position that all expenses charged by me to the Senate were and will continue to be, entirely appropriate,’’ his statement said. Senate government leader Claude Carignan has also already repaid about $3,000 in dubious travel claims

for one of his staff. The trio faced tough questions from their colleagues last week over why, despite being named in Ferguson’s report, they were involved in setting up an arbitration process that gives senators a chance to potentially quash Ferguson’s findings. Housakos, Cowan and Carignan were accused of having a conflict of interest for setting up a process that could end up helping them. It was two weeks ago that Housakos announced former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie as the special arbitrator to oversee spending disputes between senators and the auditor general. Housakos said he repaid the money because he didn’t want any questions about the “integrity of the process or the manner in which it was implemented.’’ Cowan, too, denied any conflict of interest, saying he continues to “respectfully disagree’’ with Ferguson’s claim that three trips to Toronto in 2011 were for personal events, rather than parliamentary business.

Last Friday’s Lotto Max draw featured a grand prize of $50 million and 50 draws for $1 million. One ticket in Kamloops matched the seven numbers pulled in a $1 million draw and the ticket holder will split the prize with two other ticket holders on the Prairies, with each winning $333,333. There were four winning tickets from Friday’s $50-million Lotto Max jackpot, each entitled to a share worth $12.5 million. One ticket was purchased in Delta, one in Ontario and two on the Prairies. This Friday’s Lotto Max jackpot will be at least $38 million.

Heat wave set to break on Friday

Kamloops has been roasting since record-breaking rains stopped last Friday. The weekend was hot, with the mercury hitting 33.9 C on Sunday and 32.2 C on Saturday. Neither were record highs, though yesterday’s forecast high of 35 C would have tied the record high for June 8, set in 1948. Environment Canada is calling for sunshine and temperatures in the low 30s through Thursday. However, the forecast for Friday and the weekend is for sun and clouds and highs between 22 C and 24 C.

An indoor soccer facility is still envisioned but, for now, the site that formerly housed the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club is being put to work hosting cars. The former McArthur Island Youth Centre, located behind the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, was demolished in March after the Boys and Girls Club moved to the former John Tod elementary, now set up as a community centre with the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA. Jeff Putnam, City of Kamloops parks and civic facilities manager, said the city is still in talks with various soccer groups to build an indoor facility on the site, but the pace of talks has slowed

as of late. “Because we’ve got another private indoor facility that came on board, it’s taken a little bit of the short-term pressure off the soccer community because it adds more capacity, which has been great,” said Putnam, referring to Soccer Quest, which opened last year at Eighth Street and York Avenue on the North Shore. “But, longer-term I think the goal is to have a larger facility,” Putnam said, noting the city plans to meet with the soccer community again within the next three months. In the meantime, he said visitors to McArthur Island are making good use of the additional parking spaces where the youth centre used to stand. “It’s been very well received,” he said.

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I got involved after hearing about the program from one of my peers who volunteered as a mentor. It sounded like a program that I would enjoy and would help me to build inter-personal skills working with younger kids. What do you enjoy about the In School Mentoring Program? I enjoy seeing my little buddy’s growth in conﬁdence as she made new friends. It was also really great spending time with her and seeing how happy that made her. How often do you see your Little and what do you do? I see my Little once a week for an hour. When we are together we do a variety of activities including baking, crafts, reading together and playing outside.

Casino gambling aboard BC Ferries has been ruled out by the provincial government. The province wanted to test slot machines on Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay ferries as a potential money-maker to boost revenue at BC Ferries, but a business analysis found it would instead lose $240,000 a year because of the staffing, equipment and technology costs. “Ultimately, the costs, risks and procedural changes required to operate [electronic gaming devices] on a BC Ferries vessel outweigh the financial gains,” the BCLC review said. Extra costs and time for BCLC and the provincial gaming enforcement branch weren’t considered in initial estimates, it said. The review also redflagged various potential security challenges. “Disputes over game outcomes, thefts, delayed jackpots due to irregularities, children being left unattended if guardians enter the gaming facility during the sailing and other issues” might cause delays for passengers and damage the reputation of BC Ferries and BCLC, the review stated. Unlike casinos on land, police couldn’t deal with a problem until the ferry docks. The Tsawwassen to

How is this relationship fitting into your life? This relationship fits quite easily into my life as the time commitment isn’t overwhelming and the time together is always fun. Who would you recommend this program to? To anyone who likes working with kids and helping others. As for Littles, I would recommend it to anyone who likes to have fun and is looking to make new friends. How has your Little benefitted from the program? By making new friends with other Littles in the program. I noticed her confidence increase. It was very enjoyable for her and she always looked forward to our meetings. Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? The program helps you to see life through the eyes of a child. The program teaches you responsibility and commitment. It helps you to feel good about yourself by spending time with someone who looks forward to seeing you each week.

Is there anything else you would like to add? It is a great program that more people should be involved in. The program helps Little’s to practice setting and working towards goals and it helps Big’s to see the importance of commitment. It helps Big’s to improve their leadership and organizational skills.

A plan to test slot machines on BC Ferries has been shelved after a report found the scheme would lose $240,000 a year.

Swartz Bay run passes through U.S. waters for at least 20 minutes, the review noted. “There is the potential that a portion of all sales aboard the vessels, including gaming revenue, may need to be shared with Washington state.” Other issues included lack of a consistent connection to BCLC’s network and the need for ferries staff to adhere to strict BCLC cash-handling procedures and perform many of the responsibilities of casino employees, from solving technical problems to recognizing problem gamblers. The review said allowing ferry passengers to gamble at slot machines without the food, drink and

entertainment options BCLC requires at casinos would be a break from current policy and might be criticized as a move towards videolottery terminals that are otherwise banned in British Columbia. The province said planned midlife upgrades to the Spirit Class ferries will expand the gift shops

and relocate the coffee shop to take advantage of available space to raise more revenue. “While the BC Lottery Corporation’s analysis showed that this idea wouldn’t make money, we’ll remain open to other revenuegenerating services,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said of the decision.

public about an RCMP investigation into former ministry staff were true. Instead, Laura Heinze, Lake’s manager of media relations and issue management issued a statement to KTW that contradicts information reported by Vancouver Sun reporter Rob Shaw. Shaw’s story, written after he filed freedom of information requests with the RCMP, noted the ministry repeatedly said there was a police investigation into allegations of a privacy breach that led to some ministry staffers being fired. One of those staffers, a co-op student, killing himself after he was told he could be under investigation by police. Emails obtained by Shaw show the RCMP contacted Lake’s ministry in November 2014, following media coverage of the issue that referred to an RCMP investigation. The email from

to determine if they will conduct an investigation based on the information that they receive. As confirmed publicly in February, the Ministry of Health is no longer pursuing any action by the RCMP. “This has been a challenging chapter for the ministry and public service, and the McNeil report was clear that the Public Service Agency and the Ministry did not respond as effectively as we should have to these allegations. We have accepted that – and are working to implement its recommendations.” The issue dates back to Sept. 6, 2012, the day after Margaret MacDiarmid was appointed health minister. She and deputy minister Graham Whitmarsh called a press conference to announce four employees had been fired and three were suspended without pay, all dealing with the use of ministry

data and research contracts. The press release accompanying the conference began with the words “The Ministry of Health has asked the RCMP to investigate.” The co-op student, Rod MacIsaac, had three days left to complete the placement that was essential to his completion of his PhD theses. Four months later, MacIsaac, who had been using ministry data to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of prescription drugs used to stop smoking, killed himself. While Lake has not yet returned calls to KTW to answer what he knew and when and to explain the discrepancy between his ministry’s comments and those made by the RCMP, he was scrummed by reporters on Friday at the Vancouver Board of Trade.

Const. Dean Miller said: “In reviewing some of the dozens of ongoing news articles related to this file, it appears there has been some incorrect information published. Despite inferences in the media that the RCMP has undertaken an investigation or received information from the province, this has not been the case . . . No investigation has been initiated.” Lake was appointed health minister in June 2013. In response to a KTW request to interview Lake, Heinze emailed a statement: “The Ministry of Health’s investigation found a significant breach of personal data had occurred and there is an obligation to notify the RCMP when government property goes missing.

No takers for city’s on-street program ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Don’t bother looking for lunch at Gaglardi Square this summer — the food trucks won’t be there. City of Kamloops planner Stephen Bentley said no one signed up to be part of the city’s on-street food truck program, which closed to applications on May 15. The program would have allowed up to two trucks to park next to the square at Seymour Street and Second Avenue for $15 a day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. It would have run from June into October. “We’re a little bit at a loss,” Bentley said. “Potentially, we could open it up again if we received any interest, but we haven’t’ received any interest.” This would have been the second year for the program, which ran as a pilot project in 2014 with spaces at Gaglardi Square and in

front of the Kamloops Art Gallery at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue. The city got rid of the latter spot for 2015 because it was too close to restaurants and less profitable for trucks. Bellringer Espresso Bus owner David Burgess, who participated in last year’s program, said he opted out because the operating hours — though earlier than last year’s — still don’t help much for his bus.

“I’m kind of a breakfast guy and the hours just weren’t right,” he said, adding the Gaglardi Square spot had been “marginal” compared to Bellringer’s other locations, which include the Saturday Kamloops Farmers’ Market at Stuart Wood elementary. Mikey WheelerJohnson, owner of Eats Amore, said the program’s June start was

too late for him. In order to get his truck on the street a month earlier, he rented space on private land (which has led to its own ongoing dispute with city staff and Riverside Park through the city’s yoga in the park program). “Our dance card was full,” WheelerJohnson said. Samidges owner Miles Carrier said he wasn’t that excited

about the hours allowed and the single location on offer. For the year, he’ll be taking his truck to music festivals rather than operating in the city. “I’m trying to wait it out and hope the city changes its approach,” Carrier said. “I do want to vend in the city of Kamloops.” Bentley said the city will likely reassess its on-street program’s timing and setup for 2016, but noted it’s too early to determine what changes might come.

ANOTHER ONE LEAVES THE NEST

ederal Justice Minister Peter MacKay has announced his intended departure from politics with Prime Minister Stephen Harper at his side. MacKay becomes the latest on a worrying list of Conservative cabinet ministers to head to potentially greener pastures in recent months. MacKay, rather than hint at lucrative opportunities in the private sector, instead focused on his family as the reason for departure. (A cynic might argue the 49-year-old was partly motivated by about $1.3 million in pension benefits he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to claim under new MP retirement rules passed in 2013. Those rules will mean all politicians elected after the next election must wait until age 65, up from age 55, before they can draw a pension.) National Post columnist Andrew Coyne delivered an interesting and succinct piece about MacKay’s time in power. Breezing over the minister’s memorable moments — dating Conservativeto-Liberal defector Belinda Stronach, using a military helicopter for a fishing trip, overseeing the botched F-35 procurement file — Coyne’s most poignant summary went as follows: “. . . [MacKay]was responsible for shepherding a number of bills through Parliament that seemed almost designed to be found unconstitutional, even as Justice Department lawyers were losing case after case at the Supreme Court. Other than that, there isn’t a great deal to say.” But, there is so much to say about the broken state of Canadian politics. The outcome of the Alberta election, if it foreshadows anything about the public’s mood towards the relentless Harper-Mulcair-Trudeau battle, reveals a country that perhaps has finally seen through the Conservative’s false claim that Canada will economically crumble if another party gains power. Perhaps the minister senses change is in the wind, a view held by many political strategists as the October federal election looms.

Ajax: Dust for dollars

GHM Ajax crafted a letter of support and asked a group of local business owners to sign it. By doing so, they took it upon themselves to speak on behalf of KGHM Ajax and the community. What is particularly disconcerting is the letter, endorsed by 42 pro-Ajax business lobbyists’, paints a negative view of our local economy and its future prospects, stating “a number of large employers are laying off employees or closing completely.” Meanwhile, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce confirms on its website that the “City of Kamloops’ economy is strong and diverse, with a growing population.” A quick look at building permits for the city supports the chamber statement highlighting an average investment of $180.5 million annually over the past decade, with the value being $187.1 million in 2014 alone. A quick read of the Venture Kamloops investment attraction document gives insight into the importance of what Mayor Peter Milobar calls “a wonderfully safe and healthy environment to raise a family.” A key platform in the city’s economic-development approach highlights the importance of healthy living and the natural environment in conjunction with a favourable economic climate. Further, KGHM Ajax and business lobbyists highlight $950 million in total lifetime tax revenue. However, they fail to mention the vast majority of this revenue will accrue to the provincial and federal governments — the two decision-making bodies for the project.

DENIS WALSH

View From

CITY HALL As outlined in Kamplan, Kamloops taxpayers have invested in considerable infrastructure to accommodate growth in the southwest sector of the city. Any shift in growth to the North Shore would require upgrades to existing water and sewer infrastructure, costing city taxpayers more than $100 million. Instead of bringing new revenues to the city, the Ajax project could saddle Kamloops residents with an additional tax burden. While these 42 business lobbyists’ indicate they fully expect the proposed Ajax project will be environmentally sound, the public should have serious concerns. As of April, after three years of controversy, the application information requirements (AIR) document has yet to be submitted by KGHM Ajax to the B.C. Environment Assessment Office (BCEAO) for approval. This raises the question as to why the KGHM Ajax petitioner is finalizing the AIR framework, and not the BCEAO technical working group. Robyn Allen, economist and former president of ICBC, just resigned from a similar approval board, stating “it’s a rigged game

. . . that supports private sector (lobbyists) . . . masquerading as a public-interest review.” According to a KGHM Ajax spokesperson, the letter was never intended for public release and KGHM Ajax for some time now has been having ongoing series of private meetings recruiting various members of the business community. I find this concerning, given KGHM Ajax has openly stated on its website its “commitment to transparency.” Yet its backroom antics demonstrate otherwise. Dust for dollars with unacceptable risks for residents, or KGHM Ajax’s “zero harm” are the conflicting and highly divisive issues for Kamloops residents to contemplate. The stakes are high, but these 42 business lobbyists are apparently ready, confident and willing to roll the dice on our behalf. They have sent this letter unabashedly supporting the new mine, prior to KGHM Ajax filing the permit application and the EAO ruling. This letter communicates a full steam ahead attitude, with no cautionary concerns for negative environment impacts. It’s another questionable KGHM Ajax tool, intended to lobby, leverage and influence the B.C. cabinet, which has final approval on this project. It’s not about mining, it’s about location and politics. The question is, why is this mine even being considered given its proximity to the community? It’s too big. It’s too close. It’s simply too risky. Denis Walsh is a Kamloops councillor. Council columns appear monthly in KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Walsh can be reached by email at dwalsh@kamloops.ca.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HOW LOOPY IS COUNCIL? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS Editor: Since moving to Kamloops 11 years ago, our loopy city council has never ceased to amaze us. First was the total ban on having campfires in backyards because of air-quality concerns. Coming from Prince George, that excuse here is laughable for 95 per cent of the year. All of the North Shore and Westsyde have to drive between 10 and 20 minutes to Cinnamon Ridge to get rid of some grass instead of having more drop-off areas throughout the city. Now that would cut down on air pollution. A small campfire? Really? Then came the about-face on the watermeter issue. I guess council does not believe referendums mean anything, yet there will be a vote in November on the proposed new performing-arts centre. Why? Council wastes the money and, when

the answer isn’t what it wants, it tries again in a year or two. Now we have a couple of people on council who keep trying to push their own agendas. We have two-thirds of an acre in Westsyde.

I would like to hear Coun. Tina Lange’s answer to a mite infestation on a 15-foot tree without the use of some insecticide soap. I remember as a kid playing barefoot outside all the time. You learned where to play barefoot fairly quickly and it wasn’t in the yards with all the clover and dandelions. When was the last time any of these people went barefoot in their own yards? Ask any kid in the neighbourhood in which yard they would rather play? It won’t be most of my neighbours. In short, a ban on pesticides? No way. Wayne Delbridge Kamloops

OUR HEALTH MORE IMPORTANT THAN METICULOUS LAWNS Editor: Coun. Tina Lange has made an intelligent and forwardlooking motion to ban chemical pesticides and herbicides in Kamloops. When chemicals are sprayed

on our lawns and trees, they do not stay there. They are moved by water and wind throughout our community and beyond. They get into the bodies of humans and animals and are

stored in fatty tissue. Chemicals accumulate in human tissue from many sources and cause illness over the long term. Our health is far more important than meticulous lawns.

There are alternatives to chemical dependence. Lange speaks for the future health of our community.

WTO ruling may lower beef prices at till LABELLING LAW ADDED COSTS TO KEEP CANADIAN BEEF SEPARATE IN FEEDLOTS, SLAUGHTER PLANTS CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A decision by United States lawmakers to drop country-oforigin labelling will help ranchers and shoppers at the register, according to an industry representative. Canada and Mexico won the final round of appeals at the World Trade Organization. It ruled the United States violated trade rules when it brought in labelling that critics said were disguised protectionist measures to aid American ranchers. Immediately following the ruling in May, the Canadian government threatened to slap tariffs on a range of goods from the United States, including frozen orange juice, wine, ketchup and pasta, if it did not comply. Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said the U.S. did right thing by

removing the requirement, something that will save B.C. ranchers and consumers alike. The labelling law brought with it higher costs to keep Canadian beef separate in feedlots and slaughter plants, for example. “It [removal of mandatory labelling] will increase the price at home for what the producer is getting,” Boon said. “It will even out competition. I think it will also give a little relief to the consumer.” Ranchers are enjoying recordhigh prices, which are translating to cuts at the counter. Boon said the measure could stem some retail price increases. Despite dislike of the regulations, Boon said there is potential benefit in voluntary labelling — something Canadian producers may chose to do in some higherend markets. “I can see us labelling ‘product of Canada’ in some applications

. . . If it’s mandatory there’s no opportunity for a premium,” he said. At home, some producers are participating in a 100 per cent B.C. Beef brand now seen in more than 50 restaurants and grocers in B.C. B.C Association of Abattoirs is

Haughton Ranch, Douglas Lake Ranch, Devick’s Ranch and Cache Creek Natural Beef. The program is also guaranteed through DNA tracing to back up its claims, Watt said. “We’re actually auditing it — we’re not just saying it.” A QR code for smartphone readers is in the works that will let consumers determine where, to the ranch level, their roast originated. Twenty-four B.C. abattoirs are in the program. Watt said one of the restrictions in providing B.C. beef from ranch to plate is a shortage of industrial butchers. While Thompson Rivers University has a retail butcher program, workers need to be trained to cut on a wholesale production standard. Watt said the association has applied to the province to fund a program at TRU’s Williams Lake campus.

LIONS ADJUSTING TO NEW SHERIFF MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a full week of training camp under their belts, the B.C. Lions are beginning to settle into the fast life under new head coach Jeff Tedford. “We get a sense early on that we are going to practise fast, we’re going to practise very hard and we’re going to be very efficient with our time,” Lions’ quarterback Travis Lulay told KTW. “There’s very little wasted time. We stick to a regimented schedule. Everything’s been thought about, from drill work to time spent in between meetings. Everything is organized and that’s a good thing.” Lulay joked he hasn’t even had time to eat at Hello Toast, his favourite local breakfast spot — “Talk to coach Tedford about that.” Tempo has been the buzzword at Hillside Stadium, which over the weekend transformed from a dreary, rainy setting to a scorching cauldron. Temperatures are expected to remain above 30 C until Friday, giving Tedford ample opportunity to push his players, with conditioning being a necessary companion to the style of football he wants to play. “That’s just not on offence,” veteran defensive back Ryan Phillips said. “That’s on defence, too.” “We’re going to be very-well conditioned coming into the season. I could see it paying benefits for us in

Week 10 and 11, when everyone else is getting worn down. “He puts a lot of emphasis on attitude, as well. He thinks attitude is everything and I definitely agree. How you approach a situation is going to dictate the results.” The new-look Leos continue to take shape — and get in shape— in Kamloops. Tedford, who made a name for himself coaching for more than a decade at the University of California, replaced Mike Benevides, who was fired in November after B.C.’s lopsided loss to Montreal in the first round of the playoffs. More of the old guard was jettisoned on the weekend when 45-yearold kicker Paul McCallum was released, leaving 23-year-old imports Anthony Fera and Richie Leone to compete for the job. Derek Yachison of the Kamloops Broncos had not yet been handed his walking papers as of yesterday and remained with the Leos at training camp, trying to work his way up the depth chart at receiver. B.C. is scheduled to practise twice today at Hillside — from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 3:45 p.m. to 6 p.m. “Coach Tedford is a detailed guy and there’s no detail that gets glossed over,” Lulay said. “All those things we do now give us the best chance to be fundamentally sound in the most critical times of the season.”

Kamloops hosted a doubleheader against West Kelowna on Saturday, dropping the opener 8-5 before bouncing back with a 17-7 victory in the rematch. In Game 1, Tobin Huffman allowed four runs on six hits in six innings of work before giving way to Zac Austin, who gave up four runs on two hits in one inning. Riley Jepson led the Dogs at the plate, racking up one double, two singles and two RBI. The second game saw Hayden Bennett and Vincent Daley split time on the hill. Daley also pitched in at the

plate, recording three singles, two RBI and scoring three runs. The RiverDogs swept the Cowichan Mustangs in a doubleheader on Sunday, earning a 6-5 victory in the opener and trouncing the visitors 17-2 in the rematch. Christian McCauley hit a walkoff sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to claim victory in Game 1 after Daley led off with a double and was moved to third base by Austin. Jepson gave up four runs in three innings of work on the mound before being relieved by McCauley, who registered five strikeouts in four innings without allowing a hit. Pitcher Bryant Jameus had an impressive showing for the home team in the lopsided victory in

Game 2, giving up two runs on three hits in the victory. Lucas Lott added two stolen bases to his statistic line, which included three singles, three RBI and four runs. Kamloops (18-7) sits third in league standings, behind secondplace Chilliwack (16-6) and firstplace Ridge Meadows (18-3). The RiverDogs return to action tomorrow, when they play hometown Vernon (6-20-1). South Fraser will be in town on Saturday, with game times set for 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Canada Games Field. Tobin Huffman of the Kamloops RiverDogs worked this curveball over the plate against West Kelowna at the Canada Games Field on Saturday. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Playing with only 10 runners, the Rattlers were thumped 19-7 by the hometown Kelowna Raiders in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League action on Friday. “We hope to have a much better showing of players as we continue on with the season, as it is tough to compete in this league when it is 10 runners against 18 runners,” Kamloops captain Mark Jurista said.

Recording points for the visitors were A.J. Lockwood (3G, 1A), Nathan Woldum (2G, 3A), Jurista (1G, 2A), Collin Nairn (1A), Nathan Akins (1A) and Mike Smith (1G, 1A).

Herdman singing Buchanan’s praises NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — It’s early days yet but teenage defender Kadeisha Buchanan is thriving at the Women’s World Cup. Canadian coach John Herdman acknowledged that some of his players made some nervy, nearly costly mistakes during the early stages of Saturday’s 1-0 win over China in the tournament opener. But not Buchanan. “There’s no jitters there,’’ Herdman said admiringly. “That’s a kid 19 years of age who just stepped and played like THE best centre back in the world. Look, I’m going to give her that label. That was as good a performance I’ve seen under that sort of pressure from a centre back.’’ Canada needed a strong showing from Buchanan on the weekend. Centre back partner Lauren Sesselmann had an erratic outing. Buchanan emerged from the China game with an ankle contu-

sion but says she is not worried about the knock. And she reports the Canadian team, with a win under its belt, is “in a great space right now.’’ Buchanan certainly looks right at home. Physical and fearless, she is extremely hard to beat oneon-one. Plus she has the strength and athleticism to recover if an

attacker gets a foot up on her. Her battles with veteran American striker Abby Wambach, who is at the other end of her career, have been relatively few but memorable with Herdman gleefully giving the edge to his player. “I’m not frightened to say it. She’s the Sinclair of defenders,’’ Herdman said in May 2014 after Buchanan and Wambach faced off in a 1-1 draw in Winnipeg. “She’s that good.’’ “Abby Wambach’s scored 200plus goals in her career. And Kadeisha Buchanan was the better player tonight,’’ he added, rubbing salt in the wound. A measure of Buchanan’s importance to the Canadian team is that she has won 36 caps already. Buchanan was 17 when she made her senior debut against China in January 2013. On Thursday, she will lead the Canadian defence against a New Zealand side with its back against the wall after a

1-0 loss to the Netherlands. Buchanan says she is focused but relaxed on the pitch “because I know the hard work that I put in, it’ll just flow right through me.’’ Away from the pitch, Buchanan is also chill personified. It wasn’t always like that around teammates like captain Christine Sinclair. “I’m not nervous anymore. I used to be super-nervous around Sinclair . . . I was a huge fans of hers.’’ Growing up, Buchanan played striker but switched to midfield and then defender at the U-15, U-16 level. A sophomore at West Virginia, she took the spring semester off to concentrate on Canada. She will return to school in the fall. “I love it out there. The fans are great. The people are great out there.’’ Buchanan’s mother had seven daughters, with Kadeisha the youngest. Two others played soccer and Buchanan says they made

her “tougher, faster, stronger, smarter.’’ Family is key. She has the word tattooed on her forearm. “I keep them at arm’s reach,’’ she said. While she has relatives in Edmonton, family and friends will be gathering in numbers in Montreal next Monday for the final Group A game against the Netherlands. Buchanan, a Barcelona fan who grew up a fan of Ronaldinho, estimates she had more than 50 supporters in the BMO Field stands in June 2013 when she played in her native Toronto in a 3-0 loss to the U.S. Buchanan and childhood friend Ashley Lawrence, a 19-year-old midfielder, join 17-year-old midfielder Jessie Fleming as the youngest members of Canada’s World Cup squad. New Zealand, the team Herdman left to coach Canada, is ranked No 17 in the world, compared to No. 8 for Canada.

Barnburner NBA Final rages on Cooper OK with TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — Once LeBron James tied up the NBA Final with another one of his virtuoso postseason performances, his legs were in knots. He needed ice, treatment and rest. He wasn’t the only one. After a pair of entertaining, exhausting, drama-filled overtime games at Golden State, everyone — players, fans, even the refs — needed a day to take a breather and recover before the Cavaliers and Warriors resume a series getting stellar TV ratings and shifting to Quicken Loans Arena for Game 3 tonight. Game time is 6 p.m. As midnight approached in California following Cleveland’s stunning 95-93 OT win on Sunday night, James, who scored 39 points with 16 rebounds and 11 assists, grimaced as he lifted himself from a chair on the postgame interview dais. He was hurting after playing 50 methodical minutes, one game after going 46. James, incredibly, believes he can give more. “It’s a maximum of five games left in the NBA season,’’ he said. “So, I’m ready for whatever.’’ He has been all season. With James leading the way, the Cavaliers, who were already a heavy underdog before losing AllStar guard Kyrie Irving to a broken left kneecap in the opener, dragged down the Warriors and Stephen Curry, the league’s MVP. Hounded by Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova, who seemed to be inside his jersey,

Curry missed 18 of 23 shots and ended his night with an uncharacteristic 3-point air-ball with four seconds left in overtime. But while Dellavedova’s contributions starting in place of Irving were huge, James was again the difference and the reason why the Cavs can’t be dismissed. The best all-around player of his generation, James has pushed a team missing two All-Stars — Irving and Kevin Love — and a franchise that has its first finals win, within three victories of an improbable title that would end Cleveland’s 51-year major sports championship drought. James hasn’t been flawless, far from it. He’s twice missed potential game-winning shots in the final seconds and has made only 40 per cent of his field-goal attempts. However, he’s dictating the pace of the game, controlling the clock and slowing the run-andgun Warriors, who are accustomed to doing things their way. He’s also motivated his teammates — James dubbed them “The Grit Squad’’ by telling them that they not only belong in this series, but they can win it. The Cavs may be underdogs, but James is reminding them that this is their moment. And as he chases his third title, one that would crown his brilliant career and help him make good on a promise to his home area, James has the Cavs savoring every step. “We have a chance to be a part of history,’’ he said. Cavs coach David Blatt has watched James with awe. “You’d be hard pressed to find a guy anywhere, anytime, I can

think of a name or two, but that’s the whole history of basketball, that can give you the kind of all-around performance and allaround leadership that LeBron does for his group,’’ he said. “He really willed his guys to win that game. “That’s what a champion does.’’ James is averaging 41.5 points, 12 rebounds and 8.5 assists in his fifth straight finals. He’s drawn inspiration from doing it without Love and Irving, proving his doubters wrong and the 30-yearold suggested that there is “other motivation’’ driving him. Maybe it’s a chance to outperform Curry, tagged by some as his heir apparent as the league’s biggest star. Curry was off the mark from the start in Game 2 and afterward he didn’t have an explanation for going 2 of 15 on 3-pointers. Warriors coach Steve Kerr isn’t worried about his superstar. “It happens to everybody, whether you’re the MVP or a role player,’’ Kerr said. “Sometimes the shots don’t go in. We’ll try to see if we can get him into a better groove. But, he’ll be fine.’’ The workload on James has been overwhelming, maybe even too much for him. He’s as mentally focused as he’s ever been, and heading into the finals, James acknowledged his game is at its pinnacle. He’s dug deep to make it through two games, and he may be forced to play 40-plus minutes per game from here on out. “Am I built for it?’’ he said, repeating a reporter’s question. “Well, of course I’m built for it.’’

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CHICAGO — Ben Bishop apologized as he stepped away from the microphone. Seconds earlier he said he felt like Marshawn Lynch for repeating the same answers. The Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender didn’t say anything about what forced him to leave Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday or how he was feeling yesterday. Bishop’s action of leaving the ice at practice first, as the starter typically does, was his most emphatic statement. Welcome to the intrigue of the final for the Lightning, who want to keep everyone guessing whether Bishop or rookie Andrei Vasilevskiy is starting. Game 3 was played yesterday in Chicagoafter KTW’s press deadline, with the series tied 1-1. “One of them is playing. It’s Vasi or Bish,’’ coach Jon

Cooper said. “We have two capable goalies that we have 100 per cent confidence in.’’ That’s a world of difference from last year’s playoffs, when Bishop’s elbow injury make him unavailable to face the Montreal Canadiens. Cooper had little recourse but to turn to Anders Lindback, whose .881 save percentage led to a Kristers Gudlevskis appearance, but not until it was too late. Cooper didn’t blame Lindback for getting swept in the first round. “I truly believe if we had Ben Bishop in goal last year, I’m still not sure we win that series,’’ he said. “I will never sit here and say last year we lost because of our goaltending. We lost as a team.’’ This season,

Cooper said the Lightning have the luxury of Vasilevskiy being a “1A goaltender.’’ “He’s going to be a star in this league one day,’’ Cooper said. Vasilevskiy is one of the top goaltending prospects in hockey at the age of 20. He has world junior and KHL experience and also made 13 NHL starts this season. While Bishop is the present for the Lightning in goal, Vasilevskiy looks like the future. Each appearance is a building block. Cooper pointed to a 45-save performance at the New York Islanders as a shining example of the young Russian’s potential. “We didn’t have the puck the whole night,’’ Cooper said. “We ended up losing the game (3-1), but we should have lost 10-1. “He was unreal. He just played with this unreal calm about himself. That’s kind of when I knew we had something in this kid.’’

Jim is survived by many family members and friends – you all know who you are. We sincerely appreciate the support and care that has been extended by so many over the years, especially during this difficult time. At Jim’s request, there will be no memorial service.

October 27, 1912 – May 28, 2015 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Evelyn Violet Fleet (nee Batley) beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother on Thursday morning, May 28th, 2015 in her 103rd year. Evelyn is survived by her loving children Barbara Stevens, Robert (Cordella) Weir, Bill Weir, Lawrie (Gail) Weir, Marilyn (Wayne) Wilson and John (Flo) Weir. William Weir her husband and children’s father sadly passed away in 1972. Evelyn was also predeceased by her mother, father, three brothers and sister. Evelyn adored and cherished all of her nine grandchildren Judi, Rick, Kit, Susan, Chris, Randy, Michelle, Troy and Laura followed by her nine great-grandchildren Sharla, Leslie, Kate, Emily, Shane, Kendra, Riece, Jessica and Christina plus her great-greatgranddaughter Madelynn. Evelyn always kept her birthday book up to date never missing a birthday. Evelyn had two extended families by marriages both of which have predeceased Evelyn (Harvey Shields) and Levi Fleet. She will be greatly missed by all of her families who she loved and cared for. Evelyn was born in a sod house in Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan. When Evelyn was young she loved playing baseball and could run like the wind. She rode horses bareback, worked with a local doctor and she even went on rounds with him. Evelyn loved babies! As Evelyn matured one of her passions was playing the organ. She loved music and dancing. She had a green thumb especially when it came to her African Violets which took up residence in all her windows. Evelyn sewed most of her children’s clothes when they were young and on the farm. Evelyn was a wonderful homemaker and thrived on making all who visited a cup of tea and a slice of one of her delicious cakes. Evelyn had a firm belief in the Bible and read it each day and felt it helped her through all of life’s ups and downs.

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight. I am the star-shine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there – I did not die.

Province didn’t give accused polygamist fair warning, lawyer says THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A lawyer representing the leader of a Mormon breakaway commune is asking B.C. Supreme Court to throw out a polygamy charge against his client. Winston Blackmore’s lawyer Joe Arvay said yesterday the provincial government shopped for a prosecutor in its attempt to have charges pressed against the fundamentalist leader. Blackmore is one of the heads of Bountiful, B.C., and allegedly has 24 wives. Arvay said the province should heed the decision of a previous special prosecutor who recommended not laying charges because of constitutional uncertainty around polygamy laws. Although the legal grey area was resolved with a 2011 reference question, Arvay said Blackmore should not have to face charges for historical acts of polygamy. He said the residents of Bountiful should be entitled to fair notice and that

Star Wars draft found in library SAINT JOHN, N.B. — It’s one of the most iconic science fiction films ever made, so how an apparent draft of the shooting script of the original Star Wars movie ended up in the archives at the University of the New Brunswick is a head scratcher, says one of the school’s librarians. David Ross at the university in Saint John, said another librarian who was hired under a contract to digitize parts of the university’s science fiction collection made the discovery about a week ago.

The “revised fourth draft’’ shooting script is dated March 15, 1976, about a year before the movie was released. Ross said the school’s records show it was acquired in 1990, but exactly how or why it came to the library is not known. “It’s kind of a mystery,’’ said Ross. “It is in our catalogue, we just didn’t know to look for it.’’ — The Canadian Press

Subway shutdown creates chaos TORONTO — A complete shutdown of Toronto’s subway system caused transit chaos for tens of thousands of commuters in Canada’s most populous city yesterday. The service suspension — which lasted from the time stations opened around 6 a.m. until just after 7:30 a.m. — was the result of a failure of all communication systems, officials said. — The Canadian Press

MANHUNT

$100K reward for killers who escaped U.S. prison near Canadian border THE CANADIAN PRESS

DANNEMORA, N.Y. — Investigators are looking into whether civilian employees or private contractors helped two murderers obtain the power tools they used to break out of a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border, New York’s governor said yesterday. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a round of appearances on television morning news shows that he would be shocked if a prison guard was involved in the escape from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. Cuomo said the two killers may have crossed into Canada, left for another state or could even have headed toward Mexico. Canada Border Services Agency on the weekend sent a lookout on the escape to its officers and said Monday it continued to exercise its usual vigilance. Officials said David Sweat, 34, and Richard Matt, 48, cut through steel walls at the back of their adjacent cells and sliced through steel pipes while making their Shawshank Redemption-style breakout, which guards discovered early Saturday. Sweat and Matt were still on the loose yesterday. Investigators are interviewing hundreds of civilian employees and the contractors who have been doing extensive renovations at the 170-year-old prison, Cuomo said. “We’re going through the civilian employees and private contractors first,’’ he said on NBC’s Today show. “I’d be shocked if a correction guard was involved in this, but they definitely had help. “Otherwise, they couldn’t have done this on their own.’’ A $100,000 reward was posted over the weekend for information leading to men’s capture. Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole for the 2002 killing of a sheriff’s deputy. Matt had been sentenced to 25 years to life for kidnapping, killing and dismembering his former boss in 1997. “These are killers,” the governor said.

“They are murderers. They are now on the loose and our first order of business is apprehending them.’’ Officials gave no details on how the men managed to avoid detection while cutting their way out. “They had to be heard,’’ Cuomo told ABC’s Good Morning America on Sunday. Hundreds of law enforcement officers fanned out around the prison, following up on dozens of tips. Authorities set up roadblocks and brought in bloodhounds and helicopters. Dubbed “Little Siberia’’ by locals, the prison houses nearly 3,000 inmates, guarded by about 1,400 officers. Surrounded by farmland and forests, the prison is about a 45-minute drive by car to Montreal. Cuomo said the inmates may have crossed into Canada, just over 30 kilometres away, or headed to another state or Mexico, where Matt served time for killing a man in 1998. The RCMP said on the weekend it advised its officers in detachments close to the border to be on the lookout for the two escaped fugitives, but there was no manhunt since the RCMP had received no information indicating the two fugitives crossed the border. The escape prompted the Ontario Provincial Police to issue an internal alert to its officers on the weekend, with officers patrolling with “heightened vigilance.’’ OPP said the primary purpose of the alert was to keep officers safe. Prison officials found the inmates’ beds stuffed with clothes on Saturday morning in an apparent attempt to fool guards making their rounds. On a cut steam pipe, the prisoners left a taunting note containing a crude caricature of an Asian face and the words “Have a nice day.” Officials said the inmates cut through a steel wall, crawled down a catwalk, broke through a brick wall, cut their way into and out of a steam pipe, and then sliced through the chain and lock on a manhole cover outside the prison. The breakout through the steam pipe reminded many of the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption. It was the first escape from the maximum-security portion of Clinton Correctional Facility, which opened in 1845.

He would plan some quirky shows, like “maybe have a show in a botanical garden or something like that.” But, most importantly, he would begin touring immediately. “I didn’t get to promote it as much as I wanted to,” Mclean said in a phone interview from his home in Regina. “It was all very new to me.” Nonetheless, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter is happy with Drama in the Attic, which debuted in March 2014. It helped him earn a nomination for young performer of the year at the Canadian

Folk Music Awards and allowed him to travel south for some gigs in the United States. “It’s gotten some attention from some noteworthy people, to me anyways,” he said. “I think things are going pretty well.” He will continue promoting the album this month during his first Western Canada tour and will stop in Kamloops to showcase, what he calls, his “crooked baritone folk” sound. “It’s crooked in a sense that it’s sort of progressive folk. “It’s folk because it’s acoustic. Baritone because I usually sing a bit deeper,” he said. Not only does Mclean sing, he plays guitar, piano, some percussion, ukulele and the charango — a small stringed instrument native to South America. He first learned to play it when his mother brought him one from Ecuador. He researched how to tune it and figured out how to play it before meeting the Andino Suns, a

Latin band in Regina. “They kind of showed me the ropes a little bit,” he said. When he comes to Kamloops, Mclean said his audience can expect an intimate atmosphere complete with stories and banter. It won’t be in a botanical garden but, “I try and make every show unique,” he said. He will be joined by Regina bass player Danny Jones. While touring is his main focus, Mclean remains busy with songwriting. “I probably have about 40 to 50 songs on the go at a time,” he said, noting he recently spent three months in Vancouver and is working with an engineer for a future album. Mclean’s free Kamloops show is at Chances Barside Lounge and Grill, 1250 Halston Ave., on June 20 at 7 p.m. To sample his music, go online to keiffermclean.ca.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

John Monteath’s scuplture is featured in Horse at Chazou Gallery, 791 Victoria St.

Silver & Gold

MONTEATH SCUPLTS SYMBOL DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The goal was to create Wahpastim Ka-taktakwanit — the winged white horse from Cree legend. But, when the work was done, sculptor John Monteath had created not something sad, but a piece of work he felt was infused with optimism. So the forged steel structure was christened Wahpastim’s Daughter and, for Monteath, it’s a symbol of the resilience of the indigenous people of Kamloops. The work is on display at Chazou Gallery, 791 Victoria St., as part of its current Horse exhibit. Monteath intended

the work to be a commentary on the residential-school history in Canada and saw displaying it now as an opportune way to emphasize the realities exposed in recent days through the 94 recommendations made by Justice Murray Sinclair in his Truth and Reconciliation Commission report. “The winged white horse was going to be a representation of Wahpastim Ka-tahtakwanit sorrowfully disappearing, blowing away with the wind as his culture faded away,” Monteath said. As he forged the metal, Monteath said, he realized the work was taking on a feminine spirit and a life

of her own, charging ahead rather than drifting away. The blacksmith artist, who works in Cochrane, Alta, and Kamloops, sees the work as reminding Canadians “of the great strength of our First Nations people and reminds us of the resilience of the brave survivors who are forging ahead with truth and reconciliation, build-

ing an era of peace and understanding.” Horse also includes artists Doug Buis, Sandra Conway, Shannon Ford, William Frymire, Max Grass, Jayne Holsinger, Judy Mazzucco, Darryl Nelson, Kelly Perry, Jewell Shaw, Carole Shubotham and Sellmer. Holsinger is from New York; Shubotham is from Ireland.

Q: Does your community offer an emergency response system and if so how does it work? A) Most retirement communities offer an emergency response system. It is important to know and understand how the response system works. Some communities will dial 911 for you after you have activated your emergency pendant. Some communities have voice to voice systems. These systems allow you to explain your situation to the emergency personnel. Some communities have a nurse on duty 24 hours per day and they will attend to your private suite in an emergency situation. When doing your research it is important to ask a lot of questions on this topic. Fully understanding how the emergency response system works will give you and your family peace of mind. This is not an area that you want to “sort of” know how the system works and what the protocols are. This is a topic that you want to fully comprehend and be comfortable with the service and the protocols.

NEW YORK — Google is disclosing more details about the 12 accidents involving its self-driving cars so far as part of a commitment to provide monthly updates about the safety and performance of the vehicles. The summary released on Friday described all of the collisions as minor, saying no injuries were reported. As it has been doing for several weeks, Google said the selfdriving technology was not to blame for any of the accidents. In one case, however, an employee used the self-driving car to run an errand and rearended another car that was stopped in traffic. Google had previously disclosed that accident, which happened in August 2011. Google’s breakdown of the accidents came just two days after company co-founder Sergey Brin told shareholders the company had already disclosed most of the pertinent information about the crashes. Consumer Watchdog, a group that has been a longtime Google critic, has been pushing

Google says the self-driving car automatically applied the brakes when it detected the other vehicle, and Google’s driver took manual control once the brakes were applied. The Google vehicle sustained some damage. All but two of the accidents happened in Google’s hometown of Mountain View, where the company plans to begin testing its latest self-driving car — a pod-like vehicle — this summer. While several of the accidents happened at low speeds or while the car was stopped, in one case, a Google vehicle was driving 63 miles per hour on a highway in San Jose, California, when another vehicle veered into its side. Google’s cars have been involved in four accidents so far this year, according to the company. It says the cars travel about 10,000 miles a week on public streets. The vehicles have driven about one million miles in autonomous mode and Google’s drivers have been in control for 800,000 additional miles.

the Mountain View, California, company to release all of the accident reports filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles and other law enforcement agencies. Dissatisfied with Google’s accounting, Consumer Watchdog renewed its call for the company to release the official accident reports. The Associated Press asked Google and the California Department of Motor Vehicles for the reports. Both have refused, citing privacy concerns. While the latest disclosures fell short of providing the official accident reports, they did give previously unreleased information on the locations and dates and circumstances of the 12 accidents. Google Inc. started testing the cars in 2009 and the first accident was in May 2010. The company says six of the accidents happened while the car was in autonomous driving mode. The other six happened while staffers were driving, including one incident where the car was hit by another driver who rolled through a stop sign.

five safety recalls. The missed deadlines could bring a fine from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency plans to hold a public hearing on July 2 on the company’s performance in 20 different recalls. The missed deadlines were revealed in Fiat Chrysler’s response to questions from the agency before the hearing. Automakers must notify customers with-

in 60 days after telling the government about a recall. Four of the five misses were four days or less, but one was 12 days late. Spokesman Eric Mayne said owners had already been notified. The missed deadlines happened when the company decided to change the recall repair. Fiat Chrysler said changes it has made to increase recall completion rates and monitor recall progress make the July 2 hearing unnecessary.

MATH MINDBENDER Cookie Ripoff:

You just bought a package of two-dozen oatmeal cookies. Well, you thought you did. It turns out that eight cookies with cinnamon, eight with raisins and eight with chocolate chips do not make twenty-four if some cookies are counted more than once. Four cookies have both cinnamon and raisins. Two have both cinnamon and chocolate chips. Three have both raisins and chocolate chips. There are no cookies with all three ingredients. So, how many cookies did you get shorted?

The answer to this math quiz will be printed in this space one week from today. A prize will be awarded via a random draw among correct entries. Send your answer to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Deadline: 4 p.m. Friday, June 12th

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S PLAY BALL QUIZ:

TANJA BEEDS

Six players got on base. Six runs can be scored if the last hit is the home run as it will clear the bases. One possible arrangement of the results is: Out, Out, Single, Single, Double, Double, Triple, Home Run, Out. With the minimal advancing, there is no difference. In both cases, six players get on base and, in each case, the home run being the last hit will clear the bases, so all six players will score.
