‘RECKLESS DISREGARD’
Closing arguments in houseboat trial CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice must decide whether the man who had control of the throttle on a ski boat when it smashed into a houseboat in the pitch darkness of Shuswap Lake, killing its operator, was reckless or whether he hit a another craft that should have been lit. Defence and Crown lawyers made final arguments Monday in the trial of Leon Reinbrecht, who is charged with dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing bodily injury. The trial comes nearly five years after the Canada Day fireworks celebration on the lake, in 2010. The Crown called more than 50 witnesses, many of whom were on the lake or shoreline. “This case is complex because of the variety of evidence. . . . It’s remarkably simple in many ways as well,” said defence lawyer Joe Doyle. He compared houseboat operator Ken Brown, who a toxicology test found was impaired at the time, to a driver of a car without headlights. “This is running into an unlit vessel that’s moving, that should have had its lights on. . . . He [Brown] shouldn’t have been out there.” The trial heard conflicting evidence from witnesses whether

LEON REINBRECHT Brown’s houseboat had its navigational lights on. That conflict creates a reasonable doubt whether Reibrecht is guilty, he said. But Crown lawyer Camille Cook told Justice Sheri Donegan that 25 witnesses testified they saw lights of some kind on the houseboat, either before or after the crash. There was evidence, however, that a white mast light was not functional. Cook said Reinbrecht’s actions before the crash constitute what she called a “pattern of reckless disregard for the safety of others.” Those including drinking beer, smoking pot, planing his speedboat in the darkness and looking at the shoreline as he was lost.

dam Miron doesn’t look like your average pot grower. In cufflinks and a sport coat, sipping coffee and checking his smartphone, the former Thompson Rivers University student looks more like the political operative he once was, as the head of Kamloops’ Young Liberals and later as the youth wing’s national director. But, then again, Miron’s latest venture isn’t the average medical marijuana operation either. Just under 20 companies across the country are licensed to sell various strains of the drug to the public, and most price their wares at just under $9 per gram. The Hydropothecary, which Miron founded two years ago in

— ADAM MIRON
Gatineau, Que., with brother-inlaw Sebastien St. Louis, is aiming higher. Its strains of marijuana are priced at $15 a gram and aimed at the types of Canadians who are used to shelling out a little more for a luxury experience. “What we’re talking about are demographic pockets like soccer moms, professionals, government-types with security clearances,” he told KTW during a recent trip back to Kamloops visit family. While many of those groups are interested in using medical marijuana, Miron said focus
groups found they’re often too nervous to make the purchase. “To some people it’s scary, and it’s scary for a couple different reasons. One, what will my neighbours think?” he said. To combat those anxieties, the company has steered clear of the usual trappings of marijuana sales. Instead of Purple Kushes and White Widows, the company offers strains with names like Good Morning and After Dinner, mailed in a black and white, ribbon-tied box inspired by French fashion house Chanel.

The first of five people at the “employee level” to be sentenced for a drug ring busted in 2012 will avoid jail. Tyrell MacDougall, was charged in July 2013 as part of a major RCMP bust. Police said at the time the cocaine network had ties to the United Nations gang, though that allegation has not since been argued in court. In a written decision released this week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Gropper sided with the defence, which argued for a conditional sentence rather than the 15 months jail sought by the Crown. Eight men were charged with offences ranging from trafficking to commissioning a crime on behalf of a criminal organization. MacDougall, 31, pleaded guilty to a single count of trafficking. Gropper said MacDougall was a courier who answered the phone delivered cocaine to buyers. He sold cocaine to undercover RCMP on three occasions in 2012, the final time an amount valued at $1,000.

“In this case, the aggravating factors are that the offender’s involvement was over a six-month period, he was a participant in the dial-adope scheme for profit [and] he is not an addict,” Gropper said. But Gropper said rehabilitation must weigh high on the sentencing criteria. He has no criminal record and is now training to be a conductor with CN Rail in Alberta. For the first six months of the sentence, MacDougall will be under house arrest except for purposes of work. That’s followed for the remainder of the term by a curfew between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. He is also banned from possessing weapons for 10 years. In March, a B.C. Supreme Court justice sentenced Jean Claude Auger, the wholesaler to the cocaine ring, to four years in prison. He was caught with drug paraphernalia and $140,000 in cash stuffed in the wall of his home. Two other men the Crown alleges owned and managed the operation, respectively— Richard Arthur Crawford and Steven Lloyd Currie — are set to stand trial this year.

Improvements to Trans-Canada The Ministry of Transportation has issued a call for a new system of remote avalanche control expected to reduce closures on the Trans-Canada Highway at Three Valley Gap. Minister Todd Stone said the system is expected to be in place in 2016. The remotely triggered explosives will clear potential avalanches. It will replace dropping explosives by helicopter — something that can only be done during the day. Current delays on the highway can last up to 16 hours. The ministry will also fund two other measures on the highway east of Kamloops as part of its 10-year transportation plan: New traffic light timing through Revelstoke and Golden as well as

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Hydropothecary aims to supply medicinal marijuana to a higher-class clientele than most traditional cannabis dispensaries.
‘I don’t participate’
The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing: TIME: PLACE:
to consider the following proposed amendments to City of Kamloops Zoning Bylaw No. 5-1-2001: 1.
Location:
Adam Miron says he doesn’t smoke weed, but that’s not stopping him from selling From page A1
At first blush, the company’s website could be the home of a bakery or some sort of luxury tea company. “You’ll never see smoke, you’ll never see marijuana leaves on our website,” Miron said. Nor does the word marijuana come up often in his sales pitch. More often, Hydropothecary’s product is “medical cannabis.” The company also offers special “vault reserves” with slightly stronger levels of THC, a 24-hour helpline and other premium services. Miron wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about marijuana, medical or otherwise, before he became a supplier himself. “I don’t participate,” he said. But, when the Canadian government began moving away from allowing medical users to grow at home in favour of turning production over to a series of licensed companies (a move still legally contested), the time was right for a new venture. Both Miron and brother-inlaw St. Louis were enjoying “mini retirements,” focusing on family travel. On a Canada Day camping trip not long after the new system was first announced, St. Louis suggested they jump into the developing industry. “We joked about it around the campfire and, Sebastian being Sebastian, he didn’t sleep and spent the next two weeks making a spreadsheet and came to me and said, ‘We’ve got to do this,’” Miron recalled. When a close family member became ill and found medical pot was the best source of relief,

— ADAM MIRON
he became convinced the company could do some good. Getting to the point of selling the drug was a long road. First came four months to fill out the government’s application. Then came buying land, an 80-acre farm that formerly grew ornamental plants, and building a facility. Rounds of government inspections followed, with the company slowly gaining approval to grow and eventually store dried marijuana. Though it’s been growing stock for quite some time, Hydropothecary only got its license to sell product at the start of June. A few days in, Miron said business is already brisk. “We almost hit half of our monthly acquisition target in the first two days and it hasn’t
stopped,” he said. The company is so far invite-only, but plans to move to a more broad-based sales approach towards summer. While Miron doubts he would have imagined a future for himself in pot back when he was busy advocating for a political science degree program at TRU or campaigning for former Liberal leader Stephane Dion’s, he said his new career — described as one part jet-setting, one part “having meetings in barns” — is an oddly good fit. “I always was an entrpreneur,” he said. “I couldn’t even tell you how many different businesses in different spaces I’ve had. So, is this something I could have seen? Probably not. But, remove that component of it, and it’s exactly what I’ve always been doing.”
Purpose:
To amend the RM-2A (Downtown Multiple Family - Medium Density) zone on a site-specific basis to permit an apartment with a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.6 and a density of 200 units per hectare (34 units).

Merritt student aims to place at Braille Challenge ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
D
eanna Balison takes little credit for Keisha Anderson’s berth in the 15th annual Braille Challenge this summer. “She did this all on her own,” Balison said of Anderson, a Grade 10 student at Merritt secondary. But, involved or not, Balison couldn’t be happier her student is again participating in the event. “This is huge,” she said. “And . . . she’s one of 12 kids in her age group out of North America, basically, that gets to go.” The Braille Challenge, hosted by the Braille Institute of America, is an annual academic competition designed to motivate students with visual impairments to practise and study braille in order to qualify for regional and national events in North America. Students are judged in four categories at the event — reading comprehension, braille speed and accuracy, proofreading and their ability to read tactile charts and graphs. From more than 1,100 students participating in 46 regional events, just 60 will attend this year’s national final, beginning in Los Angeles on June 20. Anderson competed in a regional event at the University of British Columbia to qualify — an event she won — and will be
Merritt secondary student Keisha Anderson is headed to Los Angeles this summer to compete in the 15th annual Braille Challenge.
one of three Canadians making the trip to California for the final. The 2015 Braille Challenge will mark the third time Anderson has competed in Los Angeles. “I’m very excited,” Anderson told KTW. “I like the challenge of it. It’s a lot of fun to do. “It’s a good challenge and it’s a really good experience if you can make it [to nationals] because you’re surrounded by a whole bunch of visually impaired people and their families, who are in the same boat as you.” Her goal this year is to place at the event, something she hasn’t managed to do in her three previous attempts. Balison, who has worked with Anderson for six years as the district’s visually impaired resource teacher, wasn’t able to proctor her student’s regional event in Merritt this
year. Undeterred, Anderson made the trip to UBC to qualify. “She doesn’t let anything stop her,” Balison said. Anderson is also a skier at Sun Peaks and hopes to participate in ski racing at the Paralympics one day. “She’s overall a regular kid, just she’s having trouble seeing,” Balison said. Anderson has a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary disease that results in the degeneration of the rod photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, resulting in severe vision impairment. For Anderson, the vision loss started young — she has been reading braille since kindergarten. Now she’s an avid reader and Balison described her as talented academic, a happy and persistent teenager who is willing to try anything. The Braille Challenge will
give her the opportunity to continue her study of braille. Anderson will compete to win some of the technology she will need once she leaves school. While the school district has access to all the adaptive programs and materials Anderson uses, she won’t have access to it once she graduates. Because braille technology isn’t mass-produced, Balison said it could cost anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 for Anderson to replace. “These kids have nothing once they leave the school,” Balison said. “It’s nice for them to have their own piece of technology and this gives them the chance to win it.” Obviously, it can sometimes be tough being the only student in Merritt who is blind, so the experiences Anderson will have in Los Angeles have Balison more pleased for her than anything. Though she won’t take any of the credit for Anderson’s most recent berth at the challenge, she’s no less excited for her. “Not so much for the academic, it’s more for the social, the pride that she feels when she gets to do stuff like this,” she said. “Sometimes she gets excluded from stuff within the community or within the events at school, where she can’t fully participate. “This is something where they go and it’s like they’re any other normal kid, they get to participate. She just loves it — it’s nice to get to see her do that.”

Starting June 15, Acres Enterprises will begin work on a $1.6-million reconstruction of Twelfth Street between Tranquille Road and Sherbrooke Avenue. Work will run Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is expected to continue into October, with the possibility of some night or weekend work as needed. The city is advising that partial or total closures of the road may be required during the project and transit route No. 2 will be rerouted along 13th Street for northbound passengers and Eleventh Street for those going south between Tranquille Road and Halston Avenue. The city plans to add sidewalks to both sides of the roadway, along with improvements to drainage and lighting, and rehabilitation of the road itself.

PLEBISCITE COULD PRESSURE PROVINCES The auditor-general’s report into spending in Canada’s Senate is disturbing reading — not because of horrible things done over time to a group of people, as was the case with generations of First Nations children — but because of ongoing air of indifference to taxpayers and accountable spending. No less than 30 senators, including recently retired B.C. senator Gerry St. Germain, were cited for improper expenditures. While some are taking issue with the A-G’s findings, the standards he believes should govern spending are pretty basic. A-G Michael Ferguson stated that senators should not be billing for personal trips. They should not be charging for taxis, meals and gifts which have nothing to do with official business or billing taxpayers for non-Senate business. They should be keeping detailed and accurate records of their spending, personal and Senate-related. Any claims for reimbursement should be submitted promptly and posted online so taxpayers who pay the bills can see how their dollars are used. Many people are now backing the NDP pledge to eliminate the Senate. There is certainly a better case for doing so than ever before. The Supreme Court has basically shut the door on Senate reform, given it requires unanimity from all provinces. Abolition also requires unanimity. However, provincial governments could be pressured with a national plebiscite question on whether to abolish the Senate, as part of the federal election. Many voices have called for such a vote and it seems an appropriate way to move forward on this issue. Such a vote would not be binding in any way. However, if significant majorities in each province backed abolition, there would be pressure on both the incoming federal government and provincial governments to agree by amending the constitution. That may be the only answer to dealing with this mess. — Langley Times

Knowing when to let go
“
I know everything, Daddy.” So proclaimed my daughter one day in her third year of existence. Me too, I smiled. Last week, she graduated from Grade 12. Those early words heralded a child’s journey in an endless accumulation of knowledge. Little did I realize at the time my own all-knowing state would, in her view, diminish over the coming years — particularly in early teenhood, when dad would be frequently relegated to irritation status. As alarming as this was, I took solace in other fathers, and most mothers, experiencing the same phenomenon. How could it be we knew so much before our children were born and carried that lofty mantle through their early years, yet watched as our titles as Knowers of All Things Worth Knowing steadily morphed into The Perpetually Addled? For young parents, there’s no need to be overly concerned about this. Your wisdom doesn’t really become lost. The trick is to stay engaged and committed through the process. Be a relentlessly loving, patient teacher and supporter. Through the process, your offspring’s perception of your worldly acuity becomes restored, albeit about a third of your lifetime later. Here’s the other thing: While she’s learning, so are you. It’s the most wonderful, confounding, frustrating,
ANDREW HOLOTA

SHOT rewarding, utterly important adventure of your life and, before you know it, a large slice of it has been consumed. As she walked across the stage last Thursday, accepting her diploma and scholarship accolades, I relived her first hours in this world, when we gazed into each other’s eyes, in equal wonderment. I thought of the countless times we curled on the couch and read books. I remembered her amazement and delight as we travelled to different parts of the world. And I ruefully recalled the frequent occasions in the not-too-distant past where I felt as though I was an incessantly barking dog. What an incredible project, this parenting gig. I’m not sure there can a greater sense of accomplishment. The opportunity to make a terrible mess of it is really quite immense. The potential to raise a smart, caring contributor to society is even more remarkable. And, as probably most parents leaving the ceremonies last week were
reminding themselves, it’s far from over — although there’s a measure of that, since many of us will see our grads leave home at the end of summer. Like most aspects of parenthood, descriptors of changes like “empty-nest syndrome” don’t begin to articulate the feelings — emptyheart syndrome is more like it. From daily contact and interaction, family suppers every night, homework projects and weekend activities, to texts, phone calls and occasional visits? Inconceivable, but real. How can a university possibly take the place of “home?” Yet, it does. And eventually, she will have her own home and we would wish it no other way. Nevertheless, my role now seems somewhat uncertain. For the past 18 years, it was so clearly, solidly defined. Although, perhaps, it doesn’t really change too much. Give unconditional love. Provide unfaltering support. All children deserve that from parents. I did and I am eternally grateful for it and the opportunity to do so myself. Now, my beautiful girl, step forward on your new path. Challenge yourself and live your dreams. Care about your world. No mom and dad could be prouder.And, as always, if you need me, I’ll be there. But you know all that.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HOW ABOUT SOME DANDELION SOUP?
Editor: Nothing — not grass nor chickweed — grows more profusely everywhere in the world than dandelions. Moments after the last snow disappears, dandelion leaves appear like a child’s drawing of a pointy Christmas tree. Yellow faces overtake lawns, fields, roadsides and ditches. They congregate in churchyards and farmyards and sneak into backyards. They creep under back alley fire escapes, picnic tables and deck chairs, reflecting in glass patio doors and the shiny limbs of seated children. They insinuate themselves between cracks in the sidewalk and patio blocks, sidle next to aristocratic irises, invade rockeries, leap into plant pots and window boxes, strangle petunias and threaten lobelias and intimidate geraniums. They lurk beneath hedges, under flowerbeds, vegetable rows and fruit patches. They gather in doorways, lean against lamp posts and dive under dumpsters and trash bins. They embroider the edges of apartments, hotels and vacant city lots. Everyone tries to root them out with weed weasels, pointy tools or nasty chemical concoctions, hoping the fragments of sinewy taproots left behind won’t propagate. I think we should let their blooms take over, pick their leaves and make salads.
Put them in egg sandwiches and quiches. Enfold them into chicken dandelion casserole and dandy cream soup. Steep them with ginger to make tea and ground roots into dips and sauces. Cook them with chopped onion and minced garlic to stuff red peppers topped with parmesan cheese. Pickle them in mustard sauce with beans and cucumber seeds, squash them into relish with vinegar, tarragon, carrots and green tomatoes and roast them with turnips. Their blossoms could be rendered into jam or syrup, sweet as honey, fermented for wine and herbal beers, folded into chocolate chip cheesecake and dipped in flour and cinnamon for fritters. Harmonious diagonal feng shui rows of dandelions could be
planted and harvested. New apothecaries would spring up, with magical potions to preserve youth and promote well-being. Powders could be pressed into tablets and caplets with names like Magic Lion, Tigger Energy Powders, Peter Pan Youth Nectar and Baby Boom Extender. Their juice could be used for elixirs and tinctures to neutralize free-roaming radicals, reduce inflammation, blast sticky plaques, clogs and blobs and boost flavonoids. Topical skin preparations would fade freckles and brown spots, remove corns, calluses and warts. Milky sap could be congealed into non-allergic rubber gloves, dental dams and mosquito repellent to ward off West Nile virus. Dandelions could be a new muse for artists and architects — replacing sagging old Venus, the over-used moon, worn-out singing birds and tired roses. Landscapes of yellow diagonal lines would vanish into complementary blue skies. Paintings of still life with dandelions, prolific in vases, companion to oranges, apples, and fine china placed on draped tables in front of stained glass windows would hang above the couch. An art dano architecture of dandelion motifs could spring forth, ring eaves and roof tops, accompany gargoyles on church corners, decorate arcades,
festoon windows, lintels and doorways and replace the acanthus flower atop Corinthian columns. They could ornament door knockers, beautify balustrades, mosaic floors and rival William Morris wallpapers with arabesques of dandelion leaves and flowers. We could celebrate rites of passage — weddings, graduations and funerals— shredding their blooms for confetti, adorning at the centre of tables and birthday cakes and draped over coffins. We should celebrate the dandelion’s spring glow, its transformation into feathery lightness and its gourmet, medicinal and artistic gifts. We should dedicate festivals to the dandelion and applaud its refusal to be deleted, depleted or denied. Wendy Weseen Kamloops

LOCAL NEWS VEXATIOUS LITIGANT
Wannabe lawyer barred from courthouse A Kamloops man has been banned from entering any B.C. courthouse after being found guilty on eight counts of being in contempt of court. Charles Bryfogle is also forbidden from filing legal documents or being a party to any lawsuit following a ruling Friday by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Victoria Gray. The finding of contempt comes after legal action commenced by the B.C. Law Society going back more than a decade. Bryfogle has been declared a vexatious litigant both in B.C. and Arizona. The law society argued that Bryfogle should serve 21 days in jail for being found in contempt of court. The 74-year-old has no means by which to pay a fine. “Mr. Bryfogle is not a lawyer and has never been a lawyer,” Gray said in her decision Friday. “Mr. Bryfogle’s conduct is

very troubling.” Gray declined to order Bryfogle serve a jail sentence. An Alberta man in the gallery stood up to blame Gray for becoming involved in his family matter. That action formed one of the contempt findings against Bryfogle. “I’m one of the people molested by this lunatic,” Rene Messier yelled at Gray. “He abuses the system year after year. . . . You let him walk — you should be ashamed.” This is the second time Bryfogle has been found in contempt of court orders to remove himself from any legal proceedings or filings, whether on his own behalf or others. There are judgments against Bryfogle for wrongly practicing law dating to 2006 and 2007.
Those findings come under the Legal Profession Act and the Court Agent Act. His past legal misadventures included representing litigants in mercury poisoning from dental work; creating a trust document; a lawsuit involving a motor vehicle accident; and slander and defamation against his own family. At times he has been paid for his work. He breached terms of orders requiring him to inform the B.C. Law Society of any legal action. While Gray declined to send the him to jail, Bryfogle will go to prison if he breaches the probation terms. She gave him a three-year suspended sentence. Those terms included that he not enter a courthouse unless he is charged with a crime or with written permission of a probation official. He cannot file legal documents on behalf of himself or others. He must also serve 100 hours of community service.

LOCAL NEWS MEDICINAL MARIJUANA
City council to debate marijuana rezoning ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops city council will debate its first medical marijuana rezoning some time later this year. Planning and development manager Randy Lambright said the city has received an application to rezone land in Campbell creek from I-1S to I-2, a designation which would allow the construction of a facility for growing medical marijuana. The paperwork for the rezoning was filed last week and is likely two or more months from coming to council. Lambright said it’s the first time the city would have to look at rezoning land for such a facility, though not the first time someone has looked at bringing a grow-op to Kamloops. “We have had inquiries
and some of those inquiries were on properties where they are permitted,” he said. The city changed its zoning bylaw in 2013 to restrict medical pot operations to general and heavy industrial lands only. The grow ops must also be at least 150 metres away from residences, daycares, playgrounds, community centres, schools, parks or other places that cater to those under 18 years of age, and owners must file ventilation plans with the city to prevent “any offensive odour from leaving the building.” Securing a site from the city of Kamloops doesn’t guarantee a successful grow site. Applications to Health Canada’s medical marijuana-production program have to have a site already in place when they apply for a license to grow. According to the Health Canada website, more than
900 of the nearly 1,300 applications it has received were rejected, returned because they were incomplete or withdrawn voluntarily, with just under 325 applications in progress. Since the government set up its new regime, which sees pot grown by companies rather than at home by patients using the drug or through small, private growops (though the change is still being legally contested), only 23 licences to cultivate the plants have been given out by the federal government, along with two salesonly licences. Six of those producers are in B.C., which has the second-highest number of grow operations after Ontario, with 13. Among the growers are Tilray in Nanaimo, Canna Farms in the Fraser Valley and In The Zone, an operation near Armstrong in the Okanagan Valley.

A Thompson Rivers University student has pleaded guilty to threatening to kill his instructor after receiving a poor grade. Robert Tetz was charged with uttering threats for the incident at the university on March 6 this year. Crown lawyer Monica Fras said Tetz was in the office of his instructor, Teressa Fedorak, receiving feedback on an assignment. He was studying to teach English as a second language. After receiving the report, Fras said Tetz started to yell at Fedorak, calling her names before leaving. He returned when another student was in the office. “He returned and indicated it wasn’t over — that it wasn’t fair and Ms. Fedorak couldn’t do this to him,” Fras said. At that point Fedorak called for security.
“He responded, ‘Don’t you dare call security or I’ll come back and kill you,’” Fras said. Tetz was arrested in the TRU parking lot by RCMP. Defence lawyer Eric Rinz said Tetz has recently been diagnosed with autism and also suffers from anxiety and attention deficit disorder. The 42-year-old lives in a separate suite in his parents’ home. “Mr. Tetz, through his whole life, has difficulty with anxiety and depression. . . . More recently he’s had a diagnosis for autism-spectrum disorder.” Tetz and his instructor had tense interactions in past, he noted. Provincial court judge Len Marchand agreed with a joint submission by Crown and defence for a conditional discharge and a 12-month probation period. “People at work and instructors have the right to feel safe at all times,” Marchand said, noting events like these “can have lasting impacts.”

SWEET-TASTING VICTORY FOR ASUCHAK MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

S
opping up grease and soaking in victory, breakfast at the Allen Cafe never tasted so good. Kamloops product Spencer Asuchak and the Allen Americans gathered at the Texas eatery for grub the morning after hoisting the Kelly Cup, awarded to the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) champions. “This is the greatest accomplishment so far,” Asuchak said yesterday morning, slightly groggy after a night of beer, champagne and celebration. “I’ve got some really good linemates and coach really believed in me this year. I finally got the opportunity, I grew into my body and I was able to play my game better.” The six-foot-five, 230-pound forward, paired on a unit with Greger Hanson and Dyson Stevenson, was a force for the Americans in the playoffs, which culminated Sunday night in a championship-clinching Game 7 triumph over the South Carolina Stingrays — a 6-1 thrashing in front of 6,125 fans at the sold-out Allen Event Center. Asuchak, 23, finished the postseason with 11 goals and 21 points in 25 games, registering 53 penalty minutes to go along with a plus-3 rating. “He had a big regular season and he was really tough in the playoffs,” Americans’ head coach Steve Martinson told KTW. “We played him against their top-scoring line in the playoffs. They were able to keep them in check and, in the games they were

Spencer Asuchak of Kamloops hoisted the Kelly Cup with the Allen Americans, the 2014-2015 East Coast Hockey League champions. The hometown Americans earned a Game 7 victory over the South Carolina Stingrays on Sunday. Asuchak had 11 goals and 21 points in 25 playoff games.
able to shut them down, we won.” The left-handed centre tallied 12 goals and 30 points with Allen in the regular season in between stints in the American Hockey League on try-out contracts with the Providence Bruins and Worcester Sharks. If Asuchak was caught daydreaming while his cinnamon french toast went cold yesterday morning, he might have been reflecting on his winding path to the Kelly Cup. After five years in the Western Hockey League playing with the Tri-City Americans and Prince George Cougars, Asuchak was left without a place to lace up his skates when he couldn’t catch on with the ECHL’s Ontario Reign in 2012. The Kamloops kid had blossomed into a lanky forward, sprouting nine inches between the ages of 15 and 18 to reach six-footthree. It was going to take time to grow into his frame and that became evident when he struggled

through 10 games with the Mount Royal Cougars in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranks in 20122013, finishing with a minus-8 rating and six points. “I never thought about hanging them up, although it was tough in my first year not having any interest,” Asuchak said. “It was a good school and I had a lot of fun, but I just knew that school will always be there and pro hockey will not. “I loved the game too much to not go all in and chase the NHL dream.” It was an interaction between Martinson and Blair Riley that led Asuchak to the Americans. The Chase product Riley, who trains with Asuchak at Kozoris
Acceleration in Kamloops in the off-season, toiled under Martinson with the Chicago Express in the ECHL in 2011-2012. Martinson brought Asuchak to Allen on the advice of Riley — and the addition paid dividends in a hurry. Asuchak racked up 21 goals and 56 points in 66 regular-season games in 2013-2014 and continued to contribute in the post-season, notching 11 points in 17 tilts, helping the Americans to their second consecutive Central Hockey League title. “You have a six-foot-five centre — he’ll tell you he goes six-foot-six — that can play against the other team’s top players . . . It’s a big bonus for

He’s probably going to get some offers and we’ll see what happens.” Asuchak will return to the Tournament Capital in a few weeks to begin training at Kozoris, home gym to a group of elite players who push each other to improve in the summer months. “Every sprint, every bench press, every soccer game — everything we do is competitive,” Asuchak said. “Kozoris is as good as it gets for a strength coach and trainer. It’s done a lot for me.” Asuchak, a 23-year-old already adept in the art of suitcase packing, described his career path as abnormal but, yesterday, he was right where he wanted to be, letting his agent devise pro-hockey options for next season while he tackled the last few bites at the Allen Cafe. “It’s nice to see things paying off,” Asuchak said. “All the hard work seems to be coming together. “My goal is to sign a full AHL contract at least and keep pushing from there.”

Each batter had a hit to secure walk-off wins, McCauley driving in Ben MacDonald to snag a 7-6 win in the first game of the doubleheader and Jepson scoring Lucas Lott in the rematch to claim a 6-5 triumph. Kamloops (20-10) lost twice to hometown Chilliwack on Sunday, falling 7-2 and 11-4.

Tournament organizers had been looking to add just a single team to the tournament’s roster, filling the eighth and final opening after the Snoqualmie Valley Hurricanes withdrew their application in the spring. The Bulldogs and Jays came as a packaged deal however, as the teams had already scheduled an exhibition series against one another for the same weekend as KIBT. With both teams interested in playing in the tournament, the Red Deer Riggers withdrew their application to play at KIBT, allowing both Kelowna and Burnaby to enter. According to KIBT president Dean

Home run barrage is back in MLB
S
omething is happening in Major League Baseball that hasn’t been seen since the Steroid Era of the late 1990s. The home run is back, which means tongues may start wagging pretty soon that players are juiced, the ball is doctored, the bats are filled with cork and hey, Alex Rodriguez is back from his one-year suspension. Home runs are flying out of major league stadiums so often that at the one-third pole, eight or nine players were on pace to exceed 50 homers for the 2015 season. Considering only 11 players hit more than 30 last year, and Nelson Cruz of the Orioles led the majors with 40, this year’s numbers are astonishing. Writer Tom Verducci of SI.com calls this year’s group of young sluggers the best to come along in the past 60 years. So what’s happening? Baseball has a new commissioner, but Rob Manfred replacing Bud Selig can’t be the reason for the power surge. No, what’s happening is that the next wave of baseball superstars is finally starting to fill out its promise. Bryce Harper, the Washington whiz kid who was 19 when he played his first bigleague game, and Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton, a 25-year-old Californian, are setting the pace. On June 13, Stanton’s 22 blasts
BRUCE PENTON led Harper by one. Both are threatening to approach the formerly magic ‘60’ mark. Harper’s earning $2.5 million and called “the best bargain in baseball” by one sportswriter. Stanton signed a $325-million contract for 13 years this past off-season, so maybe he feels obligated to hit a bunch of homers. Cruz, now a Mariner, is proving last year was no fluke, with 18 homers and on a 54-homer pace. Then there’s arguably the best player in the game, Mike Trout of the Angels, who has slugged 16. Ever heard of Joc Pederson? He’s a rookie flash with the Dodgers who belted 17 homers in his first 54 games. Then there’s the likes of young sluggers Kris Bryant of the Cubs and Joey Gallo of the Texas Rangers, who were kept in the minors for seven or eight weeks so their teams could get one more full season out of them before free agency eligibility. Chicks dig the long ball, goes the saying. So do baseball fans of either gender. This year, there’s a lot of diggin’ going on. And it’s — boom! slam! crash! — great.

Warriors can become champs with win BRIAN MAHONEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry received treatment for dehydration following Game 5 of the NBA Finals, a little worn out after carrying Golden State to the brink of its first championship in 40 years. The Warriors will need him at his best tonight, knowing what’s coming from LeBron James in Cleveland. “They’re going to come out and give it their best punch,’’ Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. The Warriors will have two chances to win the series after taking a 3-2 lead with their 104-91 victory Sunday. They would host Game 7, if necessary, on Friday. “We don’t want to come back here,’’ Thompson said. “As much as we’d love to win it in front of our fans, we really want to finish it in Cleveland.’’ James had 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists Sunday, his second triple-double in the series, and was asked how he copes with such a performance not resulting in victory. “Well, you cope with it by understanding it’s just one game and looking at the opportunity we

TUESDAY
help our team win, and I haven’t been able to do that the last two. So hopefully I can do a better job coming in on Tuesday. We all as a unit can do a better job, and we’ll be fine.’’ Some things from Game 5 to watch when the series returns to Cleveland: MVP! MVP!: After Curry’s dismal Game 2 and rough start to Game 3, he has rediscovered his shot. His 37-point performance Sunday including seven 3-pointers, the second time in the series he’s
fallen one shy of Ray Allen’s NBA Finals record. “I just think sooner or later, Steph’s going to get going,’’ Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He had a tough first couple of games. He got going at the end of Game 3 in the fourth quarter, and that’s all it takes. Steph makes a couple shots, he feels like he’s got it rolling, and he’s been great ever since.’’ FANTASTIC FINISHES: The Warriors, with their superior depth, have largely dominated the fourth quarters of the last three games, outscoring the Cavaliers by 12, 15 and seven points. Whether the problem has been fatigue or poor execution, the Cavaliers know they have to clean that up in Cleveland. “We gave up 31 points in the fourth,’’ James said of Sunday’s game. “Some of them were free throws, but a lot of them were them just breaking us down. So we’ve got to do a better job of that.’’ LEGEND OF LEBRON: James is averaging 36.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists in the series with two triple-doubles. He’s one shy of tying the record of four 40-point games in one finals, set by Jerry West in 1969 and Michael Jordan in 1993, and has been so good that the Warriors don’t even pretend they might stop him. “He’s been there for years now, so you’re not going to shut him down. But if you continue to make him work hard for each and every bucket that he gets, it takes a toll on his body,’’ said Golden State’s Draymond Green, the runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year. “If he gets 40, he gets 40. Like I said, that’s why he’s LeBron James.
You can go throw a triple-team at him, and he’ll probably still get 40, but as long as you make him work for those 40, then you’ve got to be satisfied with what you do.’’ HACK-AN-IGGY: Though Cleveland coach David Blatt has said he is against the Hack-a-Shaq strategy of intentionally fouling away from the ball, Andre Iguodala wasn’t surprised when the Cavaliers used it against him down the stretch. Iguodala was just 2 for 11 from the free-throw line in Game 5 and a woeful 6 for 18 (33.3 per cent) in the finals, so he figures he may see more of the strategy the remainder of the series. “So got a day tomorrow when we get to Cleveland to prepare for it, and it’s a challenge,’’ Iguodala said. “Just like any other challenge, you want to meet it head on and you want to be ready for it.’’
They’re watching
The NBA Finals’ Game 5 has drawn its highest television rating in more than a decade. The Golden State Warriors’ 104-91 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night to take a 3-2 series lead averaged an 11.6 rating on ABC. That’s the best since the Pistons-Lakers Game 5 in 2004; that was a clincher, which traditionally draws larger audiences. ESPN said Monday that the more than 20.5 million viewers were up 15 per cent from the nearly 17.9 million for last year’s matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, which was also a clinching game. Ratings represent the percentage of U.S. homes with televisions tuned to a program.

Black inherited an entire new outfield during the club’s off-season overhaul, one Matt Kemp called the best outfield in baseball. All three came in trades during general manager A.J. Preller’s winter frenzy. All three within 48 hours: Kemp in a deal with the reigning NL West champion Dodgers, 2013 AL Rookie of the Year Wil Myers from the Rays and Justin Upton swapped by Atlanta. Black, 57, has a 649713 managerial record
after pitching parts of 15 major league seasons. He was named 2010 National League manager of the year after leading the Padres to 90-72 record, the most wins by San Diego since a franchise-record 98 in 1998. But, the Padres lost the division title on the final day of the season when they lost at San Francisco, and the Giants went on to capture the World Series. The Padres haven’t had a winning season since then.

SAN DIEGO — Bud Black understood full well the expectations to win now with his remade, star-studded roster — and with a new front office, too. In his ninth season, Black’s time is up after the Padres fired him yesterday with San Diego sitting in third place in the loaded NL West at 32-33. The Padres never reached the playoffs during Black’s tenure after he took over when
Bruce Bochy departed to manage the San Francisco Giants in 2007. The Padres said they would immediately begin a search for an interim manager for the remainder of the season. Former Padres outfielder and current bench coach Dave Roberts was set to manage San Diego as it hosted the Athletics for a two-game series at Petco Park starting yesterday night before going to Oakland for two games.

PROVINCIAL NEWS DEFAMATION SUIT
Furlong ‘lashed out’ against journalist, lawyer says LAURA KANE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Accusations by former Vancouver Olympics CEO John Furlong that freelance journalist Laura Robinson fabricated a story over a personal vendetta have ruined her career, a lawyer told a defamation trial. Robinson is suing Furlong for comments he made after she wrote a 2012 newspaper article carrying allegations from former students that Furlong beat and racially taunted them while he was a teacher at a Burns Lake school more than 40 years ago. The trial began Monday with her lawyer, Bryan Baynham, telling a judge that Furlong “lashed out’’ at Robinson in the media after her story was published in the Georgia Straight newspaper. “Why did Mr.
JOHN FURLONG Furlong defame and attempt to discredit Ms. Robinson? He did it because she reported on aspects of his past that he did his best to keep hidden,’’ Baynham said in his opening statement. Furlong accused Robinson of a lack of diligence and inaccurate reporting, Baynham said, despite Furlong’s repeated refusal to respond to requests for comment. Furlong even implied that she had attempted to extort money from him in exchange for not publishing the
story, Baynham added. Furlong has vehemently denied any abuse allegations. His lawyer, John Hunter, told reporters outside the courthouse that his client had a right to respond publicly to Robinson’s “attacks.’’ “He’s entitled to do that and that’s what he did. I don’t know how there can be very much doubt he was attacked,’’ said Hunter. “There are quite a number of other facts that . . . will come out during the course of this trial.’’ Furlong filed his own defamation suit against Robinson shortly after the article was published. He dropped it in March following the dismissal of two sexual abuse lawsuits against him. A third person dropped her legal action over allegations of sexual abuse late last year. Baynham told the
New rules regarding hazardous spills in B.C. VANCOUVER — Plans are in the works to create a quicker, more coordinated response to land-based hazardous spills in British Columbia. Provincial Environment Minister Mary Polak said the province is working on creating an organization that will be able to immediately respond to all land-based spills with trained workers and proper equipment. The minister said the provincially certified, industry-funded organization will be able to take action even before authorities have identified who’s responsible for the spill and its clean up. The province is also creating new legislation around spills, including requirements that companies prove they have plans in place to manage and respond to land-based spills. The government is expected to introduce the legislation next spring and the new spill response regime is expected to be in place by 2017. — The Canadian Press

Officials yet to ID remains VICTORIA — Vancouver Island police say they are working with the coroner to identify human remains found on Thursday during a search for a missing 51-year-old father. Police said the search for any sign of Dana McKellar that began June 2 is now over and was one of the largest ever conducted on the island, focusing on three hectares in rural Saanich, B.C. More than 90 officers used ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic mapping technology, and thermal imaging in the search. — The Canadian Press

Each Loss ... Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Legal challenge plunges Lac Megantic settlement into question GIUSEPPE VALIANTE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
SHERBROOKE, Que. — A lawyer for the defunct railroad at the centre of the Lac-Megantic train derailment said Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. is acting deplorably and offensively by attempting to shut down proceedings to distribute over $430 million to victims and creditors of the 2013 tragedy. Patrice Benoit told Quebec Superior Court Justice Gaetan Dumas yesterday if he accepts arguments by the railway, the settlement fund for victims of the train disaster “and everything else we did for two years would end in failure.’’ More than 40 lawyers attended the hearing in a large courtroom in Sherbrooke, Que. Most of the roughly 25 companies accused of responsibility in the July 6, 2013, derailment in Lac-Megantic, Que. that killed 47 people, have agreed to pay money into a settlement fund. The $431.5 million offer was accepted unanimously by creditors and victims on June 8. Canadian Pacific is the only company accused in the tragedy that has refused to participate in
“
I’m a little disappointed by the way CP has handled this proceeding. [CP has] taken the position they aren’t going to enter into [the settlement fund]. . .
”
— JEFF ORENSTEIN LAWYER
the fund and argued yesterday the current settlement process is illegitimate. CP’s lawyer, Andre Durocher, told the court bankruptcy proceedings should not have been authorized in the first place because Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd., the rail company that owned the train that derailed, was under Federal Court jurisdiction. “[Bankruptcy laws] are black and white,’’ Durocher said. “The laws exclude banks and railroad companies’’ from provincial insolvency proceedings, he said. Benoit argued that jurisprudence states generalcharter railroads — as MMA used to be — are under the jurisdiction of provincial courts for bankruptcy proceedings. MMA didn’t have enough insurance to pay damages to victims and creditors, so it filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. and
Canada. As part of the insolvency proceedings, MMA — as well as the other companies accused in the derailment — are offering money to victims in exchange for releases from liability. The $431.5 million settlement fund is tied to the insolvency case currently before the Quebec Superior Court. Benoit told the judge that Canadian Pacific has been involved in the bankruptcy proceedings in Quebec for almost two years and for the railway company to object now is “deplorable, offensive . . . and an abuse of court process.’’ “I can’t imagine a worse example of laying in the weeds for almost two years without saying anything,’’ Benoit said. He added that Dumas has ruled on roughly 40 motions since the start of the proceedings and Canadian Pacific only voiced its objection to the jurisdiction of the court recently.
Durocher countered the company is within its legal rights to call the competency of the court into question as it only recognized recently its rights would be infringed. While Canadian Pacific doesn’t dispute that families of the victims deserve compensation, the company argues it is not one of the companies responsible for what happened when a runaway train owned by now-defunct MMA derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic’s downtown. The train carrying crude from the U.S. was handed off from CP to an MMA-controlled rail network for its final journey to a New Brunswick refinery. Court documents state CP had the contract to deliver the fuel, but sub-contracted the final leg of the journey to the defunct railroad. Before it arrived in the East Coast it derailed in the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic and destroyed part of its downtown. The victims say CP should have known the crude was not labelled properly and that MMA was allegedly taking risks in its transportation of the highly volatile substance. “I’m a little disappointed by the way CP has handled this
proceeding,’’ said Jeff Orenstein, a lawyer with the Consumer Law Group, which launched a classaction lawsuit against the 25 companies. “[CP has] taken the position they aren’t going to enter into [the settlement fund] and to go further now they are contesting the plan. We aren’t necessarily pleased,’’ he said. Orenstein’s lawsuit against the 25 companies has been put on hold pending the approval of the settlement fund. If the fund is approved, the companies that have contributed money to the settlement fund will be released permanently from his lawsuit. Tomorrow, Dumas will hear arguments for and against the approval of the $430 million settlement fund. CP intends to argue that the fund is unfair because by freeing other firms of legal liability, it won’t be able to counter-sue them if those companies decided to take Canadian Pacific to court to recoup the settlement sums they gave. Dumas is expected to rule on CP’s court-jurisdiction motion and on whether or not to accept the settlement fund at a later date following Wednesday’s hearing.

Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.
Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.
Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.
Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.
Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.
Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.
Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.
Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

Senate speaker’s aide testifies on accounting shortcuts inside office THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — An aide to Senate Speaker Leo Housakos says it was known around the corridors of the upper chamber that staff took shortcuts when they filed travel claims for senators. Loren Cicchini is the second veteran Senate staffer to tell Sen. Mike Duffy’s trial senators would regularly pre-sign travel claim forms before they were filled in and submitted to financial administrators. Duffy has pleaded not guilty to 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery, several of them in connection to trips he took while claiming to be on Senate business. Cicchini doesn’t submit such expense claims for Housakos in her current role as parliamentary affairs adviser, but did so for former Conservative senator JoAnne Buth for about a year and for retired Progressive Conservative senator Michael Meighen for more than 20. She said she never told

Senate finance what she was doing. “I was never asked, nobody was ever asked and it’s not something that I would have volunteered because I was aware that it’s not right to pre-sign something,’’ Cicchini testified under Crown questioning. “It was an agreement between senator Meighen and myself. He trusted me, and it was a matter of trust.’’ Last week, former Duffy assistant Diane Scharf testified that pre-signing forms was common practice in the office, as a means of saving time. Cicchini said she can’t pinpoint how she found out about the practice, but just that it was something that people talked about. “It’s like rumours. You hear it. You don’t know where it comes from and you don’t know exactly where you heard it,’’ she said under cross-examination. The Crown’s main objective by calling Cicchini as a witness was to undermine the testimony of another Duffy
www.alzheimerbc.org
assistant, Melanie Mercer. Mercer told the court last week that Cicchini and another Conservative assistant were specifically assigned to shadow her when she was starting out, and show her the ropes. One of the pieces of advice Mercer said she got was to get expense claim forms pre-signed. Cicchini worked in a Parliament Hill office next to Duffy’s and said she remembered often answering questions for Mercer. But she said she was never asked to train her, nor does she remember being in a conversation about pre-signing the forms. It’s unclear whether the recent testimony on the creative Senate office practices will help or hurt Duffy. On the one hand, the Crown could paint a picture of a system where Duffy and others abused the public’s trust. The court is expected to hear from forensic accountant Mark Grenon on Tuesday. He is the Crown’s expert witness on the money trail around Duffy’s expenses.
Bono in Ottawa for meetings with leaders THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — U2 frontman Bono held meetings in Ottawa on Monday with Stephen Harper, as well as the prime minister’s Liberal and NDP rivals. The Irish rock singer sparked another round in the political debate over the Conservative government’s development policy, which has focused on maternal and child health, while freezing overall development spending. Bono remained above the fray, striking an upbeat note as he arrived on Parliament Hill repeating his mantra of “the world needs more Canada.’’ “Development assistance, or foreign aid as you call it here, is a really good way of showing who you are to the rest of the world,’’ Bono said, surrounded by fans and well-wishers. Fresh off a show in Montreal, Bono arrived earlier in the day at the National Arts Centre in the city’s downtown to discuss foreign aid with several non-governmental organizations. “It’s my hope that Bono’s visit will boost Canadian awareness and engagement on international development priorities,’’ said Michael Messenger, president of World Vision Canada. “Today’s discussions underscore that we cannot work alone — success and innovation happen when we’re all at the table, committed to improving the lives of children.’’ Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who greeted the singer upon his arrival, said Bono’s star power will help to focus political attention on some overlooked issues.

speaking Awareness to ‘save lives’ COMMUNITY
FATHER’S DAY! WHY IS ORAL HEALTH EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR MEN?
Men don’t take care of their physical health and studies prove their oral health is equally Dr. Preety Desai ignored. Good oral health and keeping your teeth longer has been linked with longevity. And yet being male is one of the most common factors associated with infrequent dental checkups. Men are less likely than women to seek preventive dental care and often neglect their oral health for years visiting a dentist only when problems arise. Statistics show that on average, men brush their teeth 1.9 times a day and will lose 5.4 teeth by age 72 but if you smoke, you can lose 12 teeth by age 72! Men are also more likely to develop oral and throat cancer. If you smoke or chew, you have a greater risk for gum disease and oral cancer. Men are affected twice as often as women, and 95 percent of oral cancers occur in those over 40 years of age. The most frequent oral cancer sites are the tongue, the floor of the mouth, soft palate tissues in back of the tongue, lips and gums. If not diagnosed and treated in its early stages, oral cancer can spread, leading to chronic pain, loss of function, irreparable facial and oral disfigurement following surgery and even death. More than 8,000 people die each year from oral and pharyngeal diseases. If you use tobacco, it is important to see a dentist frequently for cleanings and to ensure your mouth remains healthy. Your general dentist can perform a thorough screening for oral cancer. Why is periodontal disease a problem? I have talked at length in past columns regarding the connection between gum disease and cardiovascular disease, which can place people at risk for heart attacks and strokes (February 2013). Medications? Since men are more likely to suffer from heart attacks, they are more likely to be on medications that can cause dry mouth. If you take medication for the heart or blood pressure or antidepressants, your salivary flow could be inhibited, increasing the risk for cavities. Saliva helps to reduce the cavity-causing bacteria found in your mouth. Sports? If your men participate in sports, they have a greater potential for trauma to your mouth and teeth. If you play contact sports, such as football, soccer, basketball and even baseball, it is important to use a mouthguard, which is a flexible appliance made of plastic that protects teeth from trauma. If you ride bicycles or motorcycles, wear a helmet. Tooth Loss Linked to Mind and Body Deterioration! Tooth loss is an early marker of mental and physical decline in older age, particularly among 60-74 year-olds,” said Georgios Tsakos, professor at University College of London Bad breath and bleeding gums are not sexy. Periodontitis is an inflammatory chronic infection of the gums, may hamper your sex life in another way: It may be a cause of erectile dysfunction - a 2011 study in Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests. Conditions such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes have also been linked with erectile dysfunction. Rats with periodontitis were studied to show they had less of an enzyme involved in achieving an erection, called eNOS. This enzyme produces nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis. The inflammation produced by periodontitis may decrease nitric oxide, which then interferes with erection, the researchers said. So... Many reasons to take care of all the fathers and men in our lives! If they don’t take the initiative, we have to remind them of the importance of celebrating future Fathers’ Days!

eter Olsen has no illusions about The Father’s Day Walk Run for prostate cancer. “The walk, in all honesty, because it’s organized by guys and it’s a guy thing, it doesn’t raise a lot of money,” Olsen said with a laugh. “The walk is more about awareness, in my mind, than it is about raising money. The awareness is what’s going to save lives.” The walk-run will take place on Father’s Day — Sunday, June 21 — at the B.C. Wildlife Park. It begins at 9 a.m. and spans five kilometres. Olsen, a Kamloops native and a prostate cancer survivor, is a little more than three years removed from the beginning of his own battle with cancer. In 2011, faced with his diagnosis, Olsen

since, and in his cancer-free form, Olsen has become a spokesperson of sorts about the benefits of testing and early detection. It was bladder issues — the urge to void and an increase in frequency — that spurred Olsen to visit his doctor. When prostatespecific antigen (PSA) testing yielded a fairly normal result, he was sent home and asked to return in six months. Half a year later, the result was much the same, but there was again a slight increase in his PSA results. A biopsy later revealed high-grade cancer in two of the samples taken. “You live with it, that’s the card you’re dealt,” Olsen said. Finding the cancer and having his prostate removed was better than the alternative, he said. When the surgery was completed and the prostate tested, pathology revealed Olsen was actually living with Stage 3 cancer, rather than the Stage 1 he was originally diagnosed with. The cancer had
The Do it for Dads five-kilometre walk-run is a family event held on June 21 — Father’s Day — to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer. In Kamloops, it takes place at the B.C. Wildlife Park. Registration opens at 8 a.m., with the walk-run beginning at 9:30 a.m. It includes a pancake breakfast, prizes and entertainment. migrated from the prostate into some of the surrounding tissues, too, but he was lucky — it had not yet reached his bones or the lymphatic system. “I do still consider myself to be lucky, I’m still here,” he said. “Who knows what the future holds.” Olsen has never been shy about sharing his story. He spoke at length on air with Radio NL, where he is a morning show host, about his battle. Some men, but mostly their wives, later reached out to him to thank him for sharing his story, for helping them to finally work up the courage to go and get tested. A few talked about getting a cancer diagnosis but, also catching it in time. “Because it’s uniquely a male cancer, a male disease, very little is said about it,” Olsen said. “Men do not like to go to the doctor —
they go at gunpoint, by virtue of their wife, and it’s often caught too late.” He believes it’s fear that leads to men declining testing, a desire not to know. It can be a scary disease, with daunting treatments and some awkward conversations. But, it’s also very treatable. And, from his personal experience, Olsen said knowing if you have it is better than not. “It’s three years out and I remain hopeful. In many ways, it gives you an appreciation for life and an appreciation for the little things,” he said. Life after cancer has given the radio personality perspective on what’s truly important. “It’s a pretty short ride and you need to enjoy your life and be good to others.” For more information, go online to fathersdayrun.ca.

EXPERT BERWICK ON THE PARK
ADVICE & INFORMATION
Q) It might surprise you to know that over 90% of residents surveyed from several retirement communities named “staff” as being one of the most important things when considering a move to an RC. Why do you think the staff are so important? A) Staff provide the services to the residents. They become like surrogate family members. When doing your research closely watch how the staff interact with the residents. Do they know the residents by name? Do the residents recognize staff and respond warmly. Do the residents respond warmly to the person showing you around? Is everyone smiling? Do the staff seem to genuinely care? Are the residents treated with respect?
Ask about employee retention – long term staff tends to signify employee satisfaction. Long term employees have a solid knowledge base of the organization’s culture. Long term employees reflect a stable work environment. If there is hesitation or an indication for your future. that employee retention is a challenge perhaps h St. Germain of you could ask why.

he said. “But I do have his earring.” For the painting — part of a recent showing of 29 works by the artist in a space on Tranquille Road — Charbonneau opted for vibrant colours over skin tones, which he said was intended to give insight into Milobar’s character. “I see Milobar as being a rather colourful person,” he said. “I think that he’s ready for anything.”
The acrylic painting took about six hours to complete — not including the time he takes to stretch his own canvas — working for about an hour after supper each night from a photograph. Charbonneau said he likes painting people recognizable in the community. He also painted former mayor Mike Latta. “You challenge the viewer to see the
face as being not only familiar, but realistic,” he said. Milobar will make a donation to the B.C. Cancer Foundation society after receiving the painting. Charbonneau’s wife died of breast cancer two years ago and he gives artwork to family and friends or offers them in exchange for a donation to the agency. “I don’t charge for any of my work,” he said.

Mazda’s urban crossover has a mind of its own KEITH MORGAN
DRIVEWAY CANADA
S
heesh, just what we need — another crossover vehicle. Well, at least that was my thought when Mazda invited me to drive its new compact CX-3 in the desert. One roll of the eyeballs later, after reading the line about it being an exciting new urban crossover and my thoughts turned to sun and heat. Things didn’t start well in the pre-drive presentation at the exotic Camelback Mountain Resort when an earnest man from Mazda showed a video of how the CX-3 outperformed its key rivals — the new Honda HRV and a Subaru Forester — in taking off from on a snow-covered hillside road. Some chance of us putting that boast to the test in the sizzling desert. Then, the presenter moonwalked around the stage to demonstrate how we subconsciously adjust our gait when feel an icy surface beneath our feet. That’s what the CX-3’s all-wheel drive system does in milliseconds before
deciding how much power to dispatch to each wheel in order to gain traction. Artificial intelligence is truly here. My first sight of the CX-3 dispelled some of my early wariness. It’s not often I say this, but this is one handsome little vehicle from that little Japanese company that could and does regularly outshine in design the products of its giant rivals. This is not just a shrunken CX-5 or a Mazda3 on steroids, though there are clear familial similarities with the former. It’s positively sporty looking and appears capable of springing forward at pace on green. Looks can be deceiving. The Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre, 146-horsepower fourcylinder, engine is not going to enable the burning of rubber, even on a steep, downward incline. Paddle shifters in the GT edition and pushing the efficient six-speed automatic transmission into sport mode can further the sporty illusion. However, the CX-3 is not designed to be a rally car. It does get up to speed and it performs more than adequately in passing
The Mazda CX-3 is “not just a shrunken CX-5 or a Mazda3 on steroids,” said Driveway Canada’s Keith Morgan.
on the highway. It is a pleasure to drive in desert or town — so I guess that does make it truly an urban crossover, as described. The road holding and handling abilities in the twisties do allow one to fantasize about the track if you really must. My co-driver Mark Richardson frequently stops to take photos. Once, while tire deep in gravel, a broad grin appeared. We had found our desert snow. “Morgy, turn the
wheel and gun it!” he said, quickly retreating to avoid pock marking of his visage. Not one nearby cactus was harmed in our rigorous pedal-tothe-metal test. The A.I. kicked in and it pulled away smoothly with neither a judder nor a slip. Later, while Richardson was reliving his boy racer youth at the wheel, flipping between the modes, I took a longer look and listen at the interior.
Yes, listen. In addition, the added height offered a commanding view of the road seemingly so desired by many drivers. The vehicle is listed as a five-seater but it is not if all occupants are adults and the journey, or more likely commute, is long. It’s essentially a car for a couple and maybe one genetic unit but once that family grows then the CX-5 will appear on the family shopping list.
That said, it’s a comfy ride in all seating positions. The rear cargo area is wonderful with rear seats flattened but limited otherwise. It’s probably fine, though, for this car’s intended use and perfectly adequate for the weekly Big Shop. Upscale is a word rarely used when describing the fit, finish and looks of a compact car’s interior but it fits here. The lines flow pleasingly throughout and the
use of red and metallic accents coupled with upmarket stitching is simply classy. The basic ingredients aren’t so basic even in the base model — standard equipment includes cloth seats, splitfolding rear bench, push-button start, rear view camera and Mazda Connect infotainment system. The more deluxe models add nicer materials, offering premium safety and audio technology. The front-wheel drive version could be a good urban choice but I think Canadians will opt for the AWD CX-3. The fuel economy numbers are not dramatically different between the two options — 7.6 L/100km (FWD) 8.1 L/100km (AWD), combined city/ highway. The CX-3 should arrive in local dealerships any day now. Prices have just been released. The base GX FWD starts at $20,695, the AWD version adds two grand to the sticker price, and that is also the base price for the GS. The GT starts at a hefty $28,995 and rises to $30,495. Take a long look at the GS versions.

MATH MINDBENDER Tennis, Anyone?
A game of tennis is played to four points, more or less. Never mind that the names of the points are not 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. And we are going to ignore the rule that after a 3-3 tie, one player must have two points more than the other to win.
