group of residents living below Blackwell Farms claim they’re developing health problems due to dust coming off a topsoil production facility which uses biosolids as part of its mix, but the company responsible says dust blowing in the area isn’t coming from its finished product. For the past year and a half, Arrow Trucking has

rented a 30-acre parcel of land from Ted Blackwell where it mixes topsoil using class A and B biosolids, as well as soil, gravel, sawdust and sand. All of the soil is used on Blackwell’s lands. A small group of residents led by activist Ruth Madsen, were at Kamloops city council Tuesday to raise their concerns about Arrow’s operations and raise the spectre of a possible boycott of Blackwell Dairy, also located on the property.

Madsen said someone needs to pay to test dust blowing into neighbouring homes, which they claim to be the source of some locals’ respiratory issues and eye infections. Madsen said she believes the dust is coming from Arrow’s biosolids. “On windy days they can’t go outside. It comes through their screens onto their kitchen tables. And we’re talking

bio waste,” she said. Resident Gary Knox, who lives in Gateway Estates, said the company is contaminating air and water with “toxic waste.” But, Tim Bell, general manager of Arrow, said the dust blowing in Dallas isn’t coming from either the facility’s biosolids or the topsoil it produces, but other operations in the area, which include a gravel pit, landfill and a pile of sawdust Arrow is storing on its rented land.

VICTORIA — Students in British Columbia will learn about the ongoing legacy of Canada’s residential schools when revised and expanded curriculum is implemented. The kindergarten-to-Grade-12 curriculum that addresses aboriginal history, culture and perspectives is about to be released to B.C. teachers and schools in preparation for the new academic year. B.C.’s Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad said in a statement that students will study topics such as discrimination, inequality, oppression and the impacts of colonialism. He said an example of the enhancements would be kindergarten students will also be expected to learn about aboriginals’ use of indigenous plants and animals, while Grade 5 students will learn about aboriginal environmental stewardship. Rustad’s comments are part of the B.C. government’s response to the 94 recommendations contained in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report on the residential-school system. After six years of hearings, the report concluded Canada’s residential-school system was a form of cultural genocide. “In education, B.C. is about to take a major step forward that will respond to one of the primary calls to action,’’ Rustad said. “The integration of the history and ongoing legacy of the residential-school system will be further enhanced in the new curriculum, particularly when students’ study topics such as discrimination, inequality, oppression and the impacts of colonialism.’’

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Despite the best efforts of one Kamloops councillor, the city won’t be going low-tech for its Nov. 7 referendum on the performing arts centre. Coun. Denis Walsh said he’s not a fan of the electronic voting machines the city uses for its elections and made a motion to use a manual count for the upcoming vote. The cost of the electronic machines is about $28,000 of the overall $160,000 cost of the referendum, which Walsh hoped to pare down with the old-school counting process. Corporate officer Cindy Kennedy said it’s not clear what the cost of a manual count would be, since the city would be required to hire additional staff to replace polling officers who would be ending a 13-hour day at count time. She called the move a step back that could lead to citizens not getting a vote count until the next week. But, Walsh said, he thinks a slower process would still be cheaper and allow the city to hire more local people. “Whether we get the results

Some Kamloops councillors wanted referrendum ballots tabulated by hand on Monday would be just fine for me,” Walsh said. “I don’t need them on Saturday at 8 p.m.” The majority of council didn’t warm to the idea. Mayor Peter Milobar said he doubted the manual count would really save money and said council needs to face the fact voting is expensive. The cost of the referendum is similar to that of last fall’s local government election. “The simple act of setting up polling stations is expensive,” he said. “There’s no easy way around it.” Only Coun. Donovan Cavers and Coun. Tina Lange backed Walsh’s plan. Cavers had his own thoughts about cuttings costs by reducing staff at polling places, since referendums generally have lower turnouts than regular elections. But, Milobar said, the city’s last comparable referendum — for the Tournament Capital program in 2003 — brought out nearly 42 per cent of voters. That’s higher than many local elections — including 2014’s, where 33 per cent of eligible vot-

ers cast ballots. Of the city’s referendum budget, $35,000 will go to advertising while the rest will cover the costs of staff, ballots and other voting infrastructure. Business and client services manager Tammy Robertson said the city plans to keep its advertising as neutral as possible, focused on where and how to vote and the cost, financing plan and basic description of the planned facilities. “We are absolutely of the mind that any information that goes out has to be, quote, ‘Just the facts,’” she said. Besides the Nov. 7 vote, advanced voting will also be held on Nov. 2 and Oct. 28. Voters will be asked whether they support borrowing up to $49 million for the construction of the $90-million performingarts centre and underground parkade. The city plans to finance the remainder of the project with two one-percent property tax lifts, gaming and gas tax money, and reserve cash from its downtown parking meters.

A Kamloops jury sent out to decide the fate of a Kelowna man accused of killing a 19-year-woman more than two decades ago decided his guilt in less than a day. The jury found Neil Snelson guilty of manslaughter just after 9 p.m. on Tuesday. It started its deliberations just after 10 a.m. “If I’d have been a little weaker I’d have fallen over,” said Terry Cusworth, the victim’s father, following the verdict.

His daughter, Jennifer, was found dead in a ditch the day after attending a Kelowna party in 1993. Along with his wife, Jean, he has attended months of trial, voire dire and retrial. Terry said Jean was not able to be at the courthouse due to a medical condition. She attended much of the trial. The couple now lives in Pritchard. Jennifer’s father called Jean immediately after the verdict. “We got it,” he told her. Terry told reporters he was unsure what verdict the jury would come back with.

This is the second time Snelson has been found guilty. The earlier verdict was successfully appealed and a new trial ordered after the appeal court found the Crown could not enter as evidence a question police put to him about whether he was ready to plead innocent or guilty. In the first trial, the Crown said an innocent man would not have had pause to consider that question. But, even without that evidence, the Crown presented enough of a case for the jury to come back with a conviction.

Prosecutor Iain Currie declined to reveal the Crown’s sentencing position. A date for sentencing has not been set. Terry said he is not seeking a specific sentence for Snelson. “What Mr. Snelson gets — I believe in spiritual justice,” he said. “I think he’ll get his spiritual justice later.” Terry said he is thankful to Kelowna RCMP detectives and media who never forgot about his daughter’s death. Cusworth was strangled and suffered skull fractures from being struck in the head seven

to eight times, a forensic pathologist testified during the trial. The Crown tendered evidence showing Snelson’s DNA matched semen found on Cusworth’s body. Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found. A pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found. Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009.

A mini-roundabout downtown is getting some positive reviews from city cyclists. As part of this year’s Bike to Work Week, organizers surveyed riders about their experiences with the roundabout at the intersection of 12th Avenue and Nicola Street. Co-ordinator Krystal Kehoe told council Tuesday that, of the more than 600 surveys handed out, 340 said they liked the roundabout, another 213 said they didn’t know, and the remainder either didn’t respond or said no. “Cyclists, or the majority, do appreciate that roundabout and some even scribbled notes like ‘please add more,’” Kehoe said. More than 1,300 people signed up to ride this year, which marked the largest turnout for the event yet.

This roundabout at 12th Avenue and Nicola Street in downtown Kamloops has earned the appreciation of some city cyclists.

New SCPA shelter? The Kamloops SPCA is hoping a new shelter could be in the works in the near future. Michelle Virdee, community council vice-chair for the local SPCA branch, told Kamloops city council Tuesday the provincial

SPCA is in the process of upgrading some of its facilities using $5 million in grant money from the province. Top-priority shelters are already seeing improvement and Kamloops is in the next tier of urgency. “We’re looking forward to

expanding our reach and helping more animals,” Virdee said. The shelter has dealt with ringworm outbreaks in 2014 and 2013, which staffer Sarah Gerow said is more difficult to prevent in an older facility operating near capacity. Last year, Kamloops SPCA took in 1,097 animals, down slightly from 1,108 in 2013. Of those, 769 were adopted out, another 248 were sent to other shelters in the province for adoption and 98 were returned to their guardians. Gerow said cats accounted for the largest share of the SPCA’s charges at 73 per cent. The SPCA plans to focus on trapping, fixing and releasing feral cats around the city to prevent the spread of feline diseases and try to control Kamloops’ feral population.

MASTALIER

AUGUST

Two charged in random robbery Two people have been arrested following a seemingly random robbery at a Sahali hotel last week. Mounties received a call reporting a robbery in progress at about 7 a.m. on Thursday. When the victim answered a knock at his hotel room door, he was reportedly met by two females and a male, armed with a baseball bat. The victim was not

injured during the incident. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police have arrested two of the three suspects. Noah Mastalier, 37, and Francis August, 31, each face charges of break-and-enter, robbery, possession of a dangerous weapon and unlawful confinement. Investigators believe the victim did not know his attackers. The investigation is ongoing.

Hot-dog bylaw won’t take effect until at least 2016 ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A plan to penalize Kamloops pet owners who leave their dogs in vehicles on hot summer days won’t be any help to the overheated pooches of 2015. Instead, summer 2016 is the earliest the city’s bylaw officers will be able to step in on hot dog cases — and that’s assuming the B.C. Liberal government takes more interest in the project than it has so far. The idea first hit Kamloops last summer when Coun. Tina Lange was inspired by new bylaws coming out of Langley and Surrey. The Surrey bylaw is particularly strident, with owners facing a $500 fine for letting their pets overheat in cars. But, Lange’s proposal for a similar law for Kamloops didn’t get far with staff asking for more time to draft a law and Lange and council eventually deciding to petition the Union of B.C. Municipalities to add more teeth to their new rules. “We really need the ability for a bylaw officer to break that window,” Lange told KTW. “For us to give a big fine — then it gets to court and you’ve got the argument of well, ‘No, my dog was fine, there was nothing wrong with it.’ “And then there’s all this time spent in bylaw court because a $500 fine is difficult to collect.”

KTW FILE PHOTO

A plan by the City of Kamloops to penalize pet owners who leave their dogs in hot cars won’t kick in until 2016 at the earliest.

If bylaw officers had the power to remove dogs, however, Lange said the pets could be impounded and owners would have to pay the fee to get their pets back. But, that kind of power has to come from the provincial government through changes to the Community Charter. While communities across B.C. voted unanimously to back Kamloops’ request for a rewrite of the law, the powers that be in Victoria have been slower to act. This spring, NDP MLA Selina Robinson introduced the Distressed Animals Act, a private members bill that included the bylaw provisions Kamloops was looking for. It wasn’t picked up for

$500 fine “isAdiffi cult to collect.”

— Coun. Tina Lange

debate by the governing Liberals before the legislature shut down for the summer. “I don’t think people ever mean to harm their animals — it’s nothing intentional, leaving their dogs in overheated vehicles. It happens, and this will serve as a reminder,” said Robinson, who serves as the party’s spokeswoman on local government issues. “It’s getting the word out and making it easier to rescue these dogs.”

AUCTION! online bidding until June 27:

Robinson said she plans to introduce the bill again the next time the legislature convenes and hopes it might find more support. “It’s non-partisan, it doesn’t cost money, it’s very pragmatic and people want it,” she said, noting the NDP is gathering petitions from citizens in support of the bill. Meanwhile, back in Kamloops, community safety manager Jon Wilson said the city will be ready to move once the province paves the way. Under the law, BC SPCA constables and the RCMP are already empowered to remove dogs from cars, and Wilson said he’s working to adapt the checklist they use to assess animal distress, developed with help from the B.C. Veterinary Medical Association, for the city’s rulebooks. “Given the work and research that goes into it, it can also be delivered out to other bylaw agencies across the province so there’s a consistent standard in place,” Wilson said. Representatives with the Kamloops SPCA told KTW in May that calls about dogs in cars had been coming in since the beginning of the month. Charleen Holloway said owners risk killing their pets with the practice, or injuring them for life. “It’s damage to the organs,” she said. “So, while you might not see it right now, it might be long-term damage down the road.”

For more information on this process, call 250-828-3483.

A Kamloops lawyer is trying to get a lifelong farmer in Barriere reunited with two of his beloved animals. Defence lawyer Jay Michi said yesterday SPCA officials executed a warrant on a farm operated by Paul Sabyan on June 2, seizing 31 piglets, 18 sows, one boar and one bay stallion. “They were concerned he’s too old to husband them at 77 [years],” Michi said. The provincial SPCA’s chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty confirmed the seizure by officials from the agency. “They met the definition of distress under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and they were seized. The vast majority have been surrendered.” The animals were placed

in foster care and none were destroyed due to health problems, she said. Sabyan pleaded guilty and was sentenced in March under the Livestock Act to allowing his animals to roam on neighbours’ property and a nearby highway. During sentencing the Crown outlined the frustration of neighbours and danger to motorists from Sabyan’s pigs — which ranged in size from 200 and 900 pounds — repeatedly escaping an enclosure. Sabyan also pleaded guilty under the Motor Vehicle Act to allowing domestic animals on the highway. Judge Len Marchand called it during sentencing “more than a nuisance.” “There was significant dam-

age to neighbours’ property and risks to motorists on the Yellowhead Highway.” As part of his one-year term of probation, Sabyan was required to provide proof of his fence repair and evidence of inspections. Michi said Sabyan has abided by the court order and the SPCA action is unrelated to his probation. He will apply for return of the two animals through an SPCA review process. Moriarty confirmed that review is underway. If unsuccessful it can be appealed to the B.C. Farm Industry Review Board and ultimately the courts. Michi said the aging farmer’s desire is simple. “He just wants his horse back and one pet pig.”

students will also be expected to learn about past discriminatory government policies, including the Chinese Head Tax. It said secondary students will learn about the imposition of government structures on aboriginal communities when discussing topics such as injustice and social change in the development of human rights. First Nations Summit Grand Chief Ed John said following

the release of the commission’s report that too few Canadians, especially children, are aware of the residential-school experience. “You might want to learn about Prince Charles and the Queen, that’s good, but you should also want to know about your own history in this province and we don’t see enough of that in terms of the relationships between First Nations and the public,’’ he said.

Walk your dog for a good cause Purina Walk for Dog Guides this Sunday at Pioneer Park DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rosemarie Rinehart sees no reason for people who love animals not to join her on Sunday. Even if they don’t have a dog, they’re welcome to take part in the annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides, sponsored by the Lions Foundation of Canada. “One of our members came one year with a stuffed dog,” Rinehart said of the event she is helping to organize. In Kamloops, the walk starts with registration on Sunday at noon at the Kamloops Yacht Club, 1140 River St., and then moves on to the walk itself in Pioneer Park at 1 p.m. The walk was a staple fundraiser in the city for many years but stopped happening in 2011. Rinehart is involved because she wanted to not only bring it back but see it grow. The reasoning is simple — it costs about $25,000 to raise, train and place a dog guide, also referred to as a service dog, and these remarkable canines are provided through the founda-

tion to people who need them at no cost. The foundation doesn’t receive any government funding to do this but relies on donations. In past years, the walk saw Dennis Robertson bring his service dog Crackers to the walk. Crackers was trained to assist Robertson with his profound hearing loss, a relationship he later wrote about in a book, Crackers . . . Come Hear. The walk also saw young Brant Settle come down from his home in Clearwater to take part one year. Brant was inspired by seeing others around him using guide dogs and decided one year to use his birthday as a way to take part and raise some money to help others receive a guide dog. The dogs work with clients with a variety of challenges, Rinehart said, ranging from hearing loss to autism to seizures. Others are trained with special skills like opening and closing doors, retrieving dropped objects and getting help when needed. Still other dogs are trained to

help those with diabetes, able to not only bark for help but to activate alert systems, retrieve food and provide support after hypoglycemic episodes. Training a dog can take from four to six months. Once trained, the dogs are matched with handlers who spend another month at a facility in Oakville, Ont., learning how to work with their canine guide. The most common breeds trained are Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and, for those with allergy issues, poodles. Rinehart and her committee members have been busy getting rewards for those who come out and join them, including prizes, certificates, canine-related coupons and water stations for humans and their dogs to use during the walk. “The response has been good,” she said of local pet stores and groomers. For more information, call 1-800-768-3030 or go online to purinawalkfordogguides.com. The Kamloops Riverside Lions Club can also provide information. It can be reached at 250573-3217.

OM THE BRIDGE, LACK OF RESPECT It sometimes seems that in her quest to seem young and hip, Christy Clark forgets her job as Premier of B.C. requires a certain level of decorum and respect. Clark once again demonstrated how oblivious she can be, creating another fracas with her attempt to host an International Day of Yoga event. Om the Bridge would have seen Vancouver’s busy Burrard Bridge closed for several hours on June 21, and set the province back $150,000. June 21 is the first day of summer. It’s also, as many people are aware — though apparently not Premier Clark — National Aboriginal Day. Clark seems to have missed a lesson that most people learn in their childhood, that showing respect creates respect in turn. When it comes to dealing with B.C.’s First Nations, showing respect is a key piece of the puzzle. It would be hard to describe how much disrespect Clark showed by organizing — and planning to attend this event — on the same day. And she didn’t stop there, taking to Twitter to mock the people expressing concern about the event. The whole sorry mess fell apart on June 12, when Clark announced she wouldn’t be attending. It’s worth noting that in Clark’s 220-word announcement stating she wouldn’t be attending the event, only 23 words were dedicated to National Aboriginal Day — the rest was about the wonders of yoga. Nor did Clark mention anything she might be doing on the 21st to honour Canada’s First Nations peoples. One Twitter user, Peter McCartney, summed up Clark’s attitude pretty well when he suggested the premier was “showing all the maturity of a 12-year-old.” Though perhaps that is doing a disservice to 12-year-olds. Most of them have a better idea of what respect for themselves and others entails. — Penticton Western News

For the sake of journalism

orgive the starstruck introduction to this week’s column, but I met Chantal Hebert last week. The Toronto Star columnist and veteran political reporter is one of the few remaining reasons I will sit through The National because her observations are essential to democracy. She’s committed to the public interest, to getting answers, to being relentless and to telling the truth. She is a watchdog over the powerful. That’s why it was fitting Hebert wasn’t reporting from a press conference in Toronto but was at the front, speaking on the issue being released to the public — because all of those characteristics are key to the JournalismIS campaign that was being launched at the media gathering. The four-month advertisement-heavy campaign came into existence through a rare confluence of different — sometimes disparate — sides to the business we call journalism. Unifor, which represents many media organizations’ workers across the country, spearheaded the plan and went to my friend Mary Agnes Welch of the Winnipeg Free Press to start creating it. She’s been a strong advocate for not just reporting to the public but in explaining to those who read or listen to the

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL news about the role journalists play in society. Hence those themes that are part of the push — independent voice, essential to democracy, committed to the public interest, to telling the truth, telling the whole story, to getting answers, being relentless, telling a story with a purpose and creating a forum for public debate. And, my favourite, being a watchdog over the powerful. The campaign also brought together — and to the press conference in Toronto — publishers and senior executives from The Globe and Mail, Postmedia, Glacier Media Group, Black Press, Bell Media CTV, Newspapers Canada and CARTT, a web-based news outlet. The big media organizations have committed to running the ads for free, a promise with a dollar value in the millions. With the workers and the suits involved, the up-andcoming journalists were represented by sponsor Ryerson

School of Journalism. I was there representing the outside advocacy group Canadian Association of Journalists, another partner in the campaign. The goal is simple: to increase awareness and support for professional journalism, to explain what we do, how we do it and, most importantly, why it should matter to you. Hebert explained her viewpoint on those goals when she said she views herself as a reading light. “Someone who tries to read in the dark usually doesn’t get very far in the story. And, if there weren’t people, as imperfect as they may be, trying to shed light on conversations, there would not be very much to read.’’ It’s a good campaign, one that saw its real launch last Saturday with full-page ads in the Globe and National Post. Stories ran across the country. Welch said what she wants to see is the discussion reporters and editors have all the time about the news business engage others outside our own strange little reporting world — and, with the increasing volume of information available from more sources than ever before, to shine a light on the value of the professional journalist. If you want to take part in the discussion, my email address should be right below this sentence. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

YES TO PESTICIDE BAN

ARTS CENTRE DOESN’T BELONG DOWNTOWN Editor: The City of Kamloops — the Tournament Capital of Canada — is destined to be an Interior city to be reckoned with because of competent planning and promotion, for the most part. My thought regarding the performing-arts centre proposal, a necessary facility for cultural enhancement, is that it should marry with the Thompson Rivers University site, rather than be dropped out of the sky to a downtown core location. Keith Hanna Kamloops

IS HER HEALTH SAFE FROM AJAX MINE? Editor: With reference to the proposed Ajax mine, I am not totally sure, but I think it was then-premier Dave Barrett who made this comment: “When it comes to mining, if you are not sure about the health and environmental concerns related to a new mine opening, then leave it until we are sure. The minerals are not going anywhere. Why take the risk?” I have a three-year-old granddaughter who lives in Pineview Valley. I would like to ask the supporters of the proposed mining project if they can guarantee my granddaughter’s health will not be adversely affected if this project goes ahead. Bill Dirks Kamloops

FILTH NEVER ENDS Editor: I have just scrubbed my patio and am enjoying it being nice and clean — because, the next time we have a wind, it will be filthy again. I feel like it’s a losing battle and I question how a biosolids facility in Barnhartvale can be directly above more than 100 homes. Ruth Rickwood Kamloops

Editor: Below are just some of the important reasons Kamloops’ new pesticide ban should be adopted. UBC School of Population and Public Health wrote a letter to the B.C. members of the Legislative Assembly. It stated, “I am writing in support of the need for strong pesticide legislation in British Columbia. “As professor and Canadian Cancer Society chair in cancer primary prevention, my role includes evaluating the research evidence regarding factors that increase the risk of cancer. Cosmetic pesticides are among these risks.” In a report by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, they mention a study published in the official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society. It “found that 2,4-D — the most commonly used weed killer in Canada — is linked to cancers, neurological impairment and reproductive problems.” The Ontario College of Family Physicians’ landmark study concluded, “Pesticides are associated with some extremely serious illnesses — especially in children.” The OCFP found children exposed to insecticides and herbicides used on

lawns and gardens had an increased risk of leukemia, a form of cancer. Dr. Margaret Sanborn of McMaster University stated, “Many of the health problems linked with pesticide use are serious and difficult to treat.” Many studies reviewed by the Ontario College show positive associations between solid tumours and pesticide exposure, including brain cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer and pancreatic cancer, among others. In a Globe and Mail article, the Ontario College of Family Physicians mentioned 12,000 studies that were conducted worldwide. The researchers found “there is no evidence that some pesticides are less dangerous than others, just that they have different effects on health that take different periods to show up.” Interior Health wrote, “The risks to public health posed by pesticide use in urban environments has been the subject of several reviews in recent years, most notable the City of Toronto health department, the College of Family Physicians of Ontario and some U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reviews. “These reviews highlight the debate in the scientific community regarding the

potential health risks associated with exposures to commonly available household pesticides. “It is reasonable to encourage government jurisdiction to apply a precautionary approach for ensuring the health of the population they serve and as a risk management strategy. “The precautionary principle states that the absence of scientific certainty should not be used as a reason to postpone or negate action when faced with a potential health hazard. With this in mind, and the studies noted above which suggest reason for concern, IH encourages actions to prevent potential adverse health effects from household pesticide exposures in urban settings.” There is so much more material I could add, but I think the people of Kamloops realize the importance of having a ban in place. The majority of the population wants it. I hope our mayor and council will adopt this new bylaw in July and lead all of us into a new healthier future. Please let our council know that you want the ban. D. Czyzewski Kamloops Editor’s note: This letter has been edited for length. Read the full version online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

LOCAL NEWS VEXATIOUS LITIGANT

Lawsuit-filing prisoner barred from suing CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A convicted drug dealer who has launched a series of criminal and civil proceedings across the province — including from a Kamloops jail cell — has been declared a vexatious litigant. The label means Oneil Parchment cannot file civil proceedings without permission of the court. The vexatious litigant order is intended to protect citizens from an endless blizzard of litigation. The order means he can no longer proceed with 14 lawsuits underway without special permission. He is allowed to continue one appeal claim in Chilliwack. In Parchment’s case, his lawsuits — none of them successful — included: • suing, while an inmate at KRCC, the province from an alleged failure to protect him from a jailhouse faction of the Klu Klux Klan. Two men — one aboriginal and one Arabic, he claimed — assaulted him at the behest of the group. Parchment is black. • related claims at B.C. Human Rights Tribunal • other lawsuits relating to treatment while in jail, filed both at the provincial

court and Supreme Court levels. • allegations that amount to medical malpractice regarding diet, botched procedures and denial to access of skin cream while in jail. Despite the vexatious litigant finding, however, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Christopher Grauer declined to forbid Parchment from filing private criminal proceedings. “It is in this area that Mr. Parchment has proven himself to be the most vexatious,” Grauer said in his ruling. Those criminal allegations include allegations against police, court staff, correctional officers and Crown officials alleging fabrication of evidence. Grauer said both judges and the Crown have the ability to stop improper proceedings in criminal court. “I am not persuaded that it would be appropriate to impose an additional lawyer of gatekeeping, even assuming I have the ability to do so,” he said. Grauer left the door open for the Crown to reapply to stop Parchment’s swearing of those private informations. But he said Parchment should be assigned an amicus curiae (a lawyer acting as a friend of the court) to assist given the legal complexity.

Topsoil company denies dust From page A1

solids used in Arrow’s soil mix are low, only seven to 10 per cent of the finished product. The product and solids are is tested multiple times to ensure it does not contain more trace elements, including copper, lead and arsenic, than the province allows on agricultural lands under its Organic Matter Recycling Regulations. “The product we make is the same thing you see in nurseries like Art Knapp’s,” Bell said. “It’s regulated, it’s extensively tested and the science is there.” Professional agrologists also work with the company and Blackwell to ensure the product is constructed and applied properly. The province requires at least 50 per cent of Arrow’s product be used on site, said Brad English, division manager for the company. While Arrow has a commercial soil operation in Richmond, it has not yet made plans to sell soil to anyone but Blackwell locally. At the farm, the soil is being used to reclaim old landfill and gravel pit ares,

“There is no dust coming off the topsoil. The topsoil is like 70 per cent moisture,” Bell said. Before they’re mixed into the soil, the biosolids, trucked to the site from the Lower Mainland, are kept in contained bunkers — something Bell said Madsen would know after touring their site with other concerned residents. Both Arrow and landowner Ted Blackwell acknowledge the sawdust pile, which Arrow is storing on site for a pellet plant being built elsewhere, has been an issue due to strong winds in the area this spring. The city of Kamloops has also flagged the storage pile as illegal, Trawin said (a smaller pile used for soil production is considered in compliance), and will be removed. That will likely take until the end of the month, Bell said. Trawin said the city is also working with the various other operations in the area, including the nearby gravel pit, to control dust on roads from the trucks in the area. Bell said the quantities of

which will eventually be used as farmland again. It’s also being used on fields for growing alfalfa and corn for feed — but not cows for the Blackwell Dairy which Bell and English said is “completely separate and distanced” from their operation. Blackwell said he’s pleased with Arrow’s operations on his land — and their product — and thinks residents’ fears are coming from a lack of understanding about the amount of testing and processing done to biosolids. “It’s better than cow manure, it’s better than chicken manure, it’s better than pig manure or anything else, which has never been through a process,” he said. Blackwell said he does regret any issues the residents living near the farm have had due to the sawdust issue. “That’s the one think I feel bad about,” he said. “I don’t feel an ounce of bad about the Arrow outfit.” Madsen said her group plans to appear before city council as a delegation about the issue later this summer, either in late July or early August.

B.C. AG urges public updates, budget targets Carol Bellringer says risks to B.C.’s fiscal stability are more of a long-term issue THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s auditor general says the government needs to look deeper into the future before creating budget plans for proposed programs. Carol Bellringer said in a report released yesterday that risks to the province’s fiscal stability go beyond CAROL BELLRINGER: the three-year budget Auditor general wants plans the government better planning produces every year when it introduces a new budget. She said the three-year planning cycle does not demonstrate how current initiatives and decisions lead to sustainable policies and programs over the long term. Bellringer said achieving balanced budgets alone does not provide that assurance. She recommended annual public reports on B.C.’s long-term fiscal sustainability, including details on targets and results. Bellringer also released a second report, saying she endorses the government’s use of revenue assumptions to make budget forecasts.

SENIORS’ CARE

IHA better than most when it comes to in-home supports, BCHC says DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Although the B.C. Health Coalition (BCHC) isn’t happy with in-home supports for seniors in the province, it says Interior Health Authority (IHA) is doing a better job than most others. The coalition released a report recently it says shows home support, nursing and residential care to help seniors stay in their homes longer has shown large decreases. For example, between 2001-2002 and 2009-2010, it says home nursing care dropped three per cent, residential care decreased by 21 per cent and home supports went down 30 per cent, leading to an overall decline in

home and community-care services of 14 per cent. Cathy Thibault, who oversees Community health the IHA, said she can’t speak to the earlier years in the BCHC survey but there has been a steady increase in the numbers of hours and clients who get home supports. For example, she said, in 2010, 330 clients received more than 100,000 hours of supports; five years later, the numbers had increased to 635 clients and almost 200,000 hours of supports. “IHA has done a better job

that other authorities . . . there’s no dispute IHA has done better,” said Mary Cohen, one of the authors of the BCHC study. “There shouldn’t be that variation from region to region,” Cohen said. “And, the issue here is with the [provincial] government not monitoring it.” Cohen said the province’s auditor- general and ombudsperson have raised the same issue in the past, encouraging the government to put more emphasis on the way it helps seniors tay in their homes.

“People at home have higher needs,” Cohen said, “and with the amount of care, there is a need for more team-based care.” Thibault said there have been changes through the years in the kinds of services seniors need and it’s not necessarily accurate to compare back more than a decade. Services provided can range from overseeing medications and other treatments to helping seniors access other services that can help them stay in their homes. “Any supports that can keep them up and active,” Thibault said. She said providing those types of services “can avoid myriad health issues” and reduce the cost to the healthcare system.

LOCAL NEWS RENTAL MARKET Stiffer fines, sanctions Kamloops rental vacancies eyed for distracted drivers double the B.C. average

Widespread violations make enforcement challenging JEFF NAGEL

BLACK PRESS

The province is considering stiffer fines and possibly vehicle impoundments or prohibitions to get distracted drivers to put down their cellphones and devices. Motorists caught using a hand-held device face $167 fines and – since last fall – three driver penalty points. “We took a first step and increased the penalties last fall and now we’re looking at possible changes to the legislation, including more severe penalties,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. A four-week online consultation period is open until July 16 to gather public opinion on whether tougher measures are needed. Comments are being collected at engage.gov.bc.ca/ distracteddriving. Besides potential vehicle impoundments or driver prohibitions, the site asks if texting drivers should be punished more severely, and possibly new drivers and repeat offenders as well. Five years after distracted driving fines were introduced in B.C., many drivers continue to ignore the law. Police issued 55,100 tickets last year to drivers caught using an electronic device behind the wheel – an increase from 53,000 in 2013. ICBC estimates 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time and 40 per cent are texting or emailing as they drive. The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police supports escalating

The “impoundment

of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers.

”

— CHIEF NEIL DUBORD, chair of the traffic committee for the B.C. Assoc. of Chiefs of Police

fines or sanctions, particularly for multiple repeat offenders, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord, who chairs the chiefs’ traffic committee. But he said the widespread disregard for the cellphone law makes it difficult to see how officers could impound vehicles – at least on a first offence – without being accused of selective, unfair enforcement. “The impoundment of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers,” said Dubord, who is taking over as chief of Delta Police later this month. “When people are speeding at double the speed limit a threshold is broken which can then lead to the impounding of the vehicle.” He said he believes prohibitions should be considered, but only for the worst repeat offenders. The chiefs’ association doesn’t have a formal position on prohibitions, nor has it adopted the stance that texting is worse than hand-held phone calls.

According to research cited by the province, texting or using a smartphone while driving is more distracting than talking on one, resulting in up to 23 times higher crash risk for drivers who text. Speed and distraction are now the top two factors contributing to crash deaths, ahead of third-ranked alcohol. B.C.’s distracted driving fines are the second lowest in Canada. Nova Scotia has the highest, climbing from $234 to $579 on the third offence, and Ontario is about to double its maximum fine from $500 to $1,000. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for seven days if the driver has had two or more distracted driving tickets within the last year. Dubord said police are also concerned about the increasing use of in-dash video screens that allow the passenger, and often also the driver, to watch movies. He said officers are also wary of other new and distracting technology, from Google Glass to the Apple Watch.

A new Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. report pegs the city’s rental vacancy rate at double the provincial average. The survey by the Crown corporation found a 5.1 per cent rate — unchanged from a year ago — at private apartment buildings with at least three units. The provincial average is 2.4 per cent. The lowest rate in B.C. is Squamish at .3 per cent while the highest is Summerland at 9.4 per cent. Many cities are clustered below the five per cent mark CMHC analyst Carol Frketich said there is no ideal vacancy rate. While the rate was stable, the city saw growth in both supply and demand. The agency estimates the number of units being rented in its survey grew by 160 units, to about 3,300. Prices for a two-bedroom unit climbed by 3.4 per cent to $893 a

month, about average when highflying Vancouver and Victoria are removed from the survey. “It’s not out of line with the province as a whole,” Frketich said of the increase in rental prices. Despite the report, Thompson Rivers University Student Union executive director Nathan Lane said housing availability for students remains a perennial problem. “The challenge we have around housing is the numbers will say five per cent [but] we’ve got student living along Columbia Street living in hotels.” The two main issues for students are cost and whether housing is close to the campus, or at least to a practical transit route. “I don’t think the experience for students is it’s easy to find a place,” Lane said. The rental market also tightens at the beginning of the school year in September.

NATIONAL NEWS ‘OFFENSIVE, INAPPROPRIATE’

Harper condemns top general’s comments on sexual harrassment More Inside

STEPHANIE LEVITZ

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — An awkward turn of phrase or a revealing glimpse into the mindset of senior leadership in the Canadian military? Remarks made by the chief of defence staff suggesting men are “biologically wired in a certain way’’ to make them believe it is OK to sexually harass women sparked debate yesterday about whether the Canadian Armed Forces can deal with sexual harassment in its ranks. The Liberals called for Gen. Tom Lawson to be immediately fired or step aside, but Lawson’s term ends this summer and his replacement is already teed up, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told question period. “The comments made here are offensive, they are inappropriate, they are inexplicable,’’ Harper said. “The general did immediately apologize.’’ In a statement Tuesday night after he made the comments

National news continues on A24

in an interview with the CBC, Lawson called his comments an awkward characterization. “My reference to biological attraction being a factor in sexual misconduct was by no means intended to excuse anyone from responsibility for their actions,’’ he said in a statement. But critics say his remarks spoke volumes about how far the military has to go in order to follow up on a report issued this April about dealing with sexual misconduct and harassment among soldiers. “If only the problem were as simple as the departure of one general who said something that was totally wrong,’’ said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “The real problem is that no one is working for a change in the culture in the military on the issue of sexual harassment.’’ The study found a highly

sexualized culture in the military that confronts women virtually as soon as they enlist and persists throughout their efforts to move up the ranks. In her report, former Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps made 10 recommendations, including that the military acknowledge inappropriate sexual conduct is a serious problem and that a comprehensive strategy be put in place to change their culture. “The [report] found that many officers were quick to excuse sexual incidents in the CAF on the basis that this kind of conduct is a ‘reflection of Canadian society,’’’ Deschamps wrote. “Ultimately, there was a broad perception among participants that the senior leadership of the CAF condones sexually inappropriate conduct.’’ Lawson’s comments, said Liberal defence critic Joyce Murray, reinforce that perception. “He essentially says this is just the way it works,’’ Murray said.

“That is completely unacceptable.’’ In responding to the report, the military accepted the first two recommendations outright and the rest on principle, saying they wanted to study suggestions such as the creation of an independent centre to handle sexual harassment cases. A special unit has been established to implement the recommendations, with Maj.-Gen. Christine Whitecross assigned to lead those efforts. Whitecross was in Sweden yesterday studying that country’s efforts to handle sexual harassment and was not available for an interview. At a stop in Halifax earlier this month, however, she expressed confidence that a cultural change would be possible over time. “We can’t do it in quick fixes. It’s going to take months and years not days and weeks,’’ she said in an interview with Global. “But, it’s important enough that we need to move forward on it.’’

Canadian med student charged with murder in Carribean THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Police say a Canadian man has been arrested as a suspect in the homicide of an American woman on a Caribbean island. The Edmonton Journal reports the man is from Edmonton. Police and prosecutors in Saba, an island belonging to the Netherlands, would only refer to the 27-year-old accused by the initials O.J.E. They say both the man and woman were students at Saba University School of Medicine. The 24-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment on April 15. An autopsy revealed she died of a homicide, but no details have been released on the cause of death. Police spokeswoman Lucia Beck says national police from the Netherlands and the FBI are helping with the case.

Yachison might see action with Leos MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

erek Yachison of the Kamloops Broncos is one play away from realizing his

CFL dream. Yesterday, with B.C. Lions training camp wrapping up at Hillside Stadium, KTW learned Yachison will dress for tomorrow night’s exhibition game against the Edmonton Eskimos at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. “I’ve been getting reps with the team, so maybe in the fourth quarter I’ll get a look and maybe on special teams, too,” said Yachison, a six-foot-one, 205pound receiver from Winnipeg. “It’ll be awesome. It’s something you work for your whole life.” Yachison, who lasted more than a week at training camp last year, managed to avoid the axe completely in 2015, a feat in itself for any B.C. Football Conference invitee. “It means I made it through a full CFL camp,” said Yachison, referred to as Young Kamloops by his Lions teammates. “I’m healthy. My reps stayed good. Everything went well.” Khari Jones was the Lions’ offensive co-ordinator last season and became familiar with Yachison at training camp last June. “We don’t treat him as a junior player. We treat him as a player and he’s out here trying to make the team and we know that,” said Jones, now the Lions’ receivers coach, with George Cortez having taken over as offensive co-ordinator.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Derek Yachison will dress for the B.C. Lions when they host the Edmonton Eskimos tomorrow night in pre-season CFL action in Vancouver.

“There’s no limitation put on him at all. If we deem that he’s one of the guys that should be on the team, he will be. If not, he’ll play junior again and I’m sure he’ll be invited back next year. “Heck, he could be playing for us this season.” The undersized pass-catcher spent much of the 2014 campaign playing with the Broncos on weekends and travelling to Surrey to practise with the Lions during the week. He is expected to do the same in 2015, but the hard work

Yachison put in over the last year was not lost on the Leos’ staff — and his stock is rising. “He was really on the rawer side last year, but to have the opportunity to be at camp with us and to practise with us during the regular season was really helpful to him,” Jones said. “Who knows what the future holds for him, but he has a chance and that’s what you want.” Yachison does not have blazing speed, his vertical leap is not spectacular and he is short by receiver standards — three facts that will make it tough for him to bridge the gap between junior football and the professional ranks. “Athletically, he’s good, but he’s not great, so you have to be great at everything else,” Jones said. “There have been a lot of guys who’ve been good athletically that have played really great careers in this league, but you have to hone all your other skills. “He’s getting there. He really is. He works on his craft and he’s young.” The 22-year-old Yachison finds inspiration in players such as Rob Bagg, the Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver from Kingston. “He’s about my size. I watch a lot of film on him,” Yachison said of Bagg, now entering his eighth year with the Riders. “You’ve just got to work at it and get good at everything and do the best you can with what you’ve got.” Should he take to the field tomorrow night, Yachison will become the first Bronco to see CFL action. “I’m very excited for the chance,” he said. “It would be a dream come true.”

LIGHTNING POISED TO FOLLOW BLACKHAWKS STEPHEN WHYNO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Hindsight may one day make the post-Stanley Cup handshake between Jonathan Toews and Steven Stamkos an iconic moment, not so much a passing of the torch but more welcome to the club. Already the Lightning look like they could be a young carbon copy of the Chicago Blackhawks, who beat Tampa on Monday night for their third Cup in six years. From ownership to the roster, the right decisions could get the Lightning back to the final. Tampa Bay owner Jeff Vinik could follow Chicago’s Rocky Wirtz in stabilizing the franchise, so the breeding ground is there. Stamkos is a respected young leader like Toews, Victor Hedman a game-controlling defenceman like Duncan Keith and Nikita Kucherov could develop into some facsimile of Patrick Kane. The Lightning even have prospects waiting in the wings to be the next generation: Jonathan Drouin may soon be a regular like Teuvo Teravainen and Andrei Vasilevskiy looks like the future in goal. But, the onus is on Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman to push the right buttons this off-season and beyond. If Yzerman stays true to the patient vision he used to remake the Lightning after their 2011 Eastern Conference final run, he’ll give himself a chance to get it done. There are no quick fixes, no real solutions,’’ Yzerman said recently. “You kind of just stick with the process. Really trying our best to hang on to your draft picks, try to make good choices, then give them time to develop.’’ Like Stan Bowman inherited Toews, Kane and Keith, Yzerman had Stamkos and Hedman as franchise cornerstones. Signing Stamkos this summer to a long-term extension like Toews and Kane got might be the next step of that process, and Kucherov, Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Alex Killorn will need new deals in the coming years. Bowman after winning the Cup in 2010 had to make difficult choices in

a salary-cap environment. He isolated the core, which included forwards Toews, Kane, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa and defenceman Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Brent Seabrook and traded Dustin Byfuglien, Brian Campbell and Andrew Ladd. Draft picks like Brandon Saad and Andrew Shaw took their place for the 2013 Cup run, and Teravainen and defenceman Trevor van Riemsdyk came up for this one. “What we try to do with our young players is not rush them to the point where the expectations are unrealistic,’’ Bowman said. The Lightning may be more like the Detroit Red Wings of the near future in that many of the young players — Johnson, Palat, Killorn and Kucherov — won in the AHL with coach Jon Cooper like Grand Rapids Griffins stars Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar and Tomas Jurco did under Mike Babcock’s replacement, Jeff Blashill. Tampa Bay’s biggest issue might be having too many good, young forwards, but from depth Yzerman could shore up the blue line headlined by Hedman and Anton Stralman. He already swapped out Brett Connolly for draft picks after trading first- and third-rounders to acquire veteran defenceman Braydon Coburn. Filling holes through trades and free agency can’t be overlooked, either. Bowman plugged in Michal Handzus in 2013 and then Brad Richards and Antoine Vermette this year, while Yzerman has acquired Stralman, Ryan Callahan and Valtteri Filppula to complement the core. When Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville called Richards last offseason, he told the veteran free agent before hanging up: “Come to Chicago. We’ll win a Cup.’’ Tampa Bay is already an attractive free-agent destination as proven by Filppula and Stralman signing in the place affectionately known as “Hockey Paradise.’’ “I think, No. 1, you have to convince agents, players, everyone that, ‘Hey, they’re for real down there, they run a really good program, it’s somewhere we can be successful,’’’ Yzerman said, adding that the combination of no state income tax and warm winters doesn’t hurt.

Lions leave town happy, but with food for thought MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Lions’ head coach has an appetite to return to Kamloops for training camp, even if the food left something to be desired. “Everything was awesome,” Leos’ bench boss Jeff Tedford told reporters at Hillside Stadium yesterday, the last day of the CFL club’s 2015 training camp. “The facilities are great. You have everything you need here. The people are very accommodating. “We need some work on the food, but it’s always hard to please everybody, with this many guys in camp.” The Lions have held camp in Kamloops since 2010 and it will remain here through 2017. The city pays the team about $40,000 to hold camp. There is an estimated economic spinoff of $300,000 into the community. Kamloops is also promoted in game programs and on the Jumbotron at Lions’ home games at BC Place Stadium and the city receives $10,000 in tickets, which are sold or given to charities for fundraising. Tedford took the Lions’ reins from Mike Benevides, who was fired in November after B.C.’s first-round exit in the playoffs. Benevides said he would have no qualms if Kamloops became the Lions’ permanent trainingcamp home and it appears the new sheriff is also a fan of the facilities, although they don’t quite match up to the $450-million digs he was dealing with at the University of California, Berkeley, where he coached for a decade. Tedford was complimentary of the field at Hillside Stadium.

Rattlers return Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League action returns to Memorial Arena tomorrow night, when the Kamloops Rattlers host the Kelowna Raiders. Game time is 8 p.m. Kamloops (1-6) was shelled by the Armstrong Shamrocks last week, losing 12-3 at the NorVal Sports Centre in Armstrong. A.J. Lockwood led the way for the Rattlers, scoring two of the team’s three goals, while adding an assist. Captain Mark Jurista added a goal and an assist, while Nathan Woldum, Liam Haggerty and Lee Black added helpers. Mike Smith took the loss in goal for Kamloops.

B.C. Lions head coach Jeff Tedford was positive in his assessment of the facilities his team used for training camp this year.

“I understand this field is about 10 years old and the warranty on a field like this is about 10 years,” Tedford said. “It looks like it’s two years old.” “They do a great job of maintenance and the people have been accommodating.” The Lions are housed in the new residence building at Thompson Rivers University throughout training camp. During their stay in Kamloops, the Lions consume more than 5,000 pounds of food, provided by TRU’s ancillary services. “They keep things really clean

and nice, but we need to take a look and make some changes with the food.”

Signal secrets

Read KTW tomorrow to learn about Quinn Tedford, the son of Lions’ head coach Jeff Tedford. He designed the signalling system used to relay play-calls to the field from the sidelines. Both Tedford and B.C. receivers coach Khari Jones were careful about what they said, knowing other CFL teams are always looking to crack the code.

Spieth taking positive approach to LEBRON, CAVS FALL SHORT difficult Chambers Bay course BRIAN MAHONEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TIM DAHLBERG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — Jordan Spieth didn’t take long when asked for one word to describe a U.S. Open course where trains rumble loudly by, holes can change from one par to another, and players sometimes search for little white markings to see if they’re actually on a green. “Inventive,’’ the Masters champion said. That may not be the word some players will be using when play gets underway today on a course unlike any other in Open history. Chambers Bay isn’t for the faint of heart, or those without some imagination in their game. But, if the grumbling is to begin, the Masters champion wants no part of it. “If you are going to talk negative about a place, you’re almost throwing yourself out to begin with because golf is a mental game,’’ Spieth said. Indeed, the player with the best game doesn’t always win the Open, where par is jealously guarded by the USGA. But, while Spieth and Rory McIlroy are the favourites of the oddsmakers in Las Vegas, no one is really certain about anything on a golf course that will change by the day. Except that patience — like in any Open — figures to be a big key. “I keep saying to people, the U.S. Open is all about controlling your attitude, controlling your emotional level and your stress levels out there because it can be a very frustrating week

if you let it be,’’ Jason Day said. “You’ve just got to keep grinding and grinding and grinding, and hopefully by Sunday you’re somewhere around the lead.’’ The links-style course built on an old gravel pit may end up the star of this Open, no matter who ends up conquering it. Chambers Bay — with its one tree and huge elevation changes on the edge of the water will look good on television, even if the players don’t. Some won’t be able to adapt to hitting shots 20 yards away from where they want their ball to finally come to a rest. Others will have difficulty judging tee shots that will hang in the air longer than usual. And, some might have trouble just finding the greens, which are the same fescue as the fairways and seem to blend in with them on some holes. The USGA is trying to help out by painting little white dots around the greens to show where they are. “I think it might be slower rounds of golf, given the size of the greens and the difficulty of the course,’’ Spieth said. “[But] at least we have some nice views.’’ The views were already there when architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. went to work on building the course that opened to the public in 2007. So were the

elevation changes and the train tracks that run between the course and the water. What Jones did was take it a step further with fine fescue grass throughout and holes with so many tees that two holes — No. 1 and No. 18 — can be switched from par 4’s to par 5’s and back again during the week. It’s a place unlike any some players have seen and it will take some getting used to. “Those who adopt it and embrace it, they like it,’’ Jones said. “Those who are uneasy with the newness of it, we’ll listen to them, but they probably won’t make the cut.’’ USGA executive director Mike Davis said in April players will have to study the course carefully to have a chance of winning. Just playing a few practice rounds, he said, won’t be enough to figure out its complexity. Spieth, who shot an 83 when the U.S. Amateur was held at Chambers Bay in 2010, has done just that, including a few extra rounds over the weekend to figure out where the ball will be rolling on what will surely be a fast and tricky track. Still, it’s the U.S. Open and it will be a grind. Spieth is only playing his fourth Open, but understands that if he is going to get halfway to a Grand Slam, he has to be as prepared mentally as he is physically. “You have to go in positively,’’ he said. “You have to go in with enough confidence to get yourself into contention.’’ For some players this week, that might be the toughest thing of all.

CLEVELAND — LeBron James pulled off his sunglasses and there was no hiding the hurt in his eyes. He had given everything he had, the best player turning into a better teammate — and it wasn’t enough. “If I could have gave more, I would have done it, but I gave everything I had,’’ he said Tuesday after Cleveland’s 105-97 loss to Golden State in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. And, that’s more than just points, rebounds and assists. Throughout the year he had proven what it meant not just to be the star but to be the leader, even more during the NBA Finals. “Well, I think that what’s evident to everyone is what a spectacular basketball player that LeBron is. But he has become a great leader of his team,’’ Cavs’ coach David Blatt said. James believed he could will Cleveland to a championship, with a confidence that turned almost defiance. Even as the Golden State Warriors had asserted themselves as the series went on, James said he didn’t doubt the Cavaliers could win until the clock reached zero.

He was on the bench by then, walking off the court for the final time this season with a booming sound following. “MVP! MVP!’’ He didn’t win the award, and he didn’t win the championship. But Cleveland fans made it clear just how much they love the player who had once broken their hearts. James finished with

KARL ERIC DALIN

Family and friends of Karl Eric Dalin are invited to a celebration of his life on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Schoening’s Funeral Chapel. Karl passed away on May 30, 2015. The full obituary is available at

John (Jack) Lapointe April 11, 1926 – June 3, 2015 We are sad to announce that Jack Lapointe, 89, of Ashcroft died June 3, 2015 with his family at his side. Jack was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to John Arnold and Theodorus Lapointe. He left High School to enlist with the RCAF in 1943. It was there he received the electronics training that became his career path in life. After his discharge in 1946, he met his true love, Marjorie Lowe in Winnipeg and they married in April 1949. Combining their honeymoon with a move to Vancouver he worked as an Aircraft Radio Technician with CP Air for 15 years. After a brief time as a service station owner, he was offered a job by BC Hydro in Cache Creek. Pulling up stakes in Surrey, he moved his family to Ashcroft where he used his woodworking skills to build the family home where Jack and Marj lived for the next 50 years. A loving husband and father, Jack was a lovely gentle man with a quiet sense of humour and a quick wit. Jack was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed the outdoors all his life. Family holidays were spent at a favourite cabin on Timothy Lake, where wonderful, lasting memories were made. He loved golfing whenever he could and spent many hours on golf courses with his buddies. Computers were also a passion. Jack even built his own computer from scratch. His enthusiasm in turn generated a love of technology in his children and grandchildren who enjoyed many hours of gaming with Grandpa. Jack is survived by his wife and best friend; Marjorie, his four children; Jill Bewza (Gordy) of Chase, Judy Klassen (Ken) of Ashcroft, Joanne Gerein (Dale)of Ashcroft, and Janice Dobson (John) of Salmon Arm. He is also survived by nine grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two nieces. He is predeceased by his parents, one brother; Jerald and a sister-in-law; Lorraine. A private family memorial service was held on Sunday, June 7 in Ashcroft. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the palliative care unit of the Ashcroft Hospital: Family Friends Society, Box 773 Ashcroft (earmark for Palliative Care) or Marjorie Willoughby Snowden hospice house in Kamloops. The Lapointe family wish to extend their deepest appreciation to the nurses and care-aides at both facilities who took such good care of them.

Bill was five years old when his Dad went overseas to fight in World War II and lost his mother when he was six. In 1952, Bill made the move to Kamloops, BC. He married and had three daughters. During his lifetime, he worked in the lumber industry; he sold real estate, and did some network marketing. The majority of his working years were spent pipelining. In his later years, Bill met his wife, Jane where they lived in Chase enjoying family and friends in their home. Due to Bill’s declining health, the Chase house was sold and they moved to Kelowna. Bill was the first to admit he was no saint, he was a man with a lot of energy, a keen mind for learning, a wicked sense of humour, and generous to a fault. Bill is survived by his wife, Jane of Kelowna and her children Monica, Larry, Kevin (Irene) Kriese and four grandchildren Kameron, Seton, Miller and Phoenix. He is also survived by his daughters Nada Schumann, Ava Gisler, Wanda McKenzie, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, his brothers John Millikin (Donna), Ernie Millikin (Marilyn) and Margaret Logan, nieces, nephews and cousins. A family graveside service will follow in Kamloops.

Betty is pre-deceased by her parents Edward and Ethel Jones, sisters Vera Mitchell and Mildred Hardcastle, brother Robert Jones and nephew Ralph Tyerman.

Willy will be remembered for his giant personality. With his big voice and presence, he enjoyed expressing his thoughts and opinions through conversation. His education came through life experiences and by an intellectual curiosity in the world around him. He enjoyed manufacturing homemade devices to find practical solutions for life’s everyday problems. Born in Barrhead, Alberta he left home at the age of fourteen to start his long career as a heavy duty equipment operator with the Canadian Army. Determined in his career, he transitioned his skills into the pipeline field where he worked until his retirement. Willy had an inspiring work ethic that he instilled in his family, preparing them for the road ahead. He was a family man, and for his family, he was the ultimate provider and instructor in life. Though stern in his approach, he was selfless, with a generous heart, and a man of integrity. He shared his witty sense of humor with close family and friends. Willy loved the outdoors, a passion shared and passed onto his children and grandchildren. If not on a lake or driving the forested back roads, he could be found tinkering in his garage or relaxing on his deck exercising his curiosity, planning his next project. Wilfred is survived by his loving wife of 46 years Paulette; sons Robert (Ann) and David (Jen); daughter Jennifer; grandchildren Bentley, Kayla, Amy, Dexter, Donovan, Liam, Garrett, Marcus, and Mila; sister Lydia; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends.

‘Life work cut short’: Chief says slain Edmonton cop a shining example to peers BOB WEBER

Local Mounties attend funeral

EDMONTON — They came to honour a father, a husband, a son and a friend. But Const. Daniel Woodall, Regimental Number 2829, was also recognized as a dedicated police officer who had only begun to tap his talents as a protector of the abused and the bullied. Woodall came into his own when he was assigned to the hate-crimes unit and his “tragic and senseless’’ death means a “life work cut short,’’ Edmonton police Chief Rod Knecht told mourners at the slain policeman’s funeral yesterday. “It was this last posting, more than any other, that brought out elements of his personality that made him such an effective police officer. He helped those

Three members of the Kamloops RCMP detachment were in Edmonton for Woodall’s funeral. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said it’s important for police officers to show honour when one of their own is killed in the line of duty. BUSH “Certainly, our thoughts are with the family and with Edmonton Police Service,” she said. “It does affect all of us that are in this profession.”

that were abused or bullied and . . . those who needed assistance,’’ Knecht said. “Dan invested time and effort in many, many Edmontonians. He served faithfully, modestly and proudly with an incredible depth of commitment.’’ Woodall was shot and killed last week as he was trying to arrest a man he’d been investigating. Norman Raddatz was believed to be behind

vicious anti-Semitic bullying that had led an Edmonton family to fear for its safety. Woodall’s work spoke volumes, said Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson. “Dan’s work with the hate-crimes unit speaks to the kind of city that we are building. We will continue Dan’s good work and build upon his exemplary leadership, reaching across communities to forge deep and

lasting relationships with one another, human being to human being. “We are truly grateful for the example that Dan has set for all of us.’’ Woodall’s widow, Claire, and the couple’s two- and four-year-old sons, watched from the front rows in a cavernous convention centre as colleagues and friends paid tribute to the 35-yearold officer, who came

to Edmonton in 2007 after starting his policing career with the Greater Manchester Police in England. “My first thoughts were that he looked like a 12-year-old in uniform,’’ said friend and colleague Dave Ainsworth of the fresh-faced young man who walked into the police station in Manchester in 2002. “He quickly offered to walk a beat with me where many wouldn’t and I quickly found out that this was Dan,’’ recalled Ainsworth, who stopped several times during his eulogy to compose himself. “He was first to step up. He had my back and I had his. His biggest fear was letting you down. He had compassion when he needed to and strength when required.’’ Ainsworth also remem-

bered Woodall’s wicked sense of humour and how his friend laughed the loudest at his own jokes. Michael Catlin, a New York Police Department officer who met Woodall at a policing conference in Calgary last year, said the two of them immediately hit it off. They liked to talk about everything from their tattoos to martial arts to snappy suits to their Jeeps. Catlin said Woodall never pretended to be anybody but himself. “Dan was the purest form of himself. He stood a gentleman among men. “He stood a cop among police.’’ Knecht also acknowledged the strength and grace shown by Claire Woodall, who he said has herself become an inspiration. He promised her she would always have the support of the police force.

tariffs on American products in a potential trade war. It’s requesting arbitration to calculate an appropriate amount, as Canada moves toward tariffs in this decisive phase of a years-long battle at the World Trade Organization. The arbitration request came at a meeting yesterday in Geneva, where Canada asked the WTO to approve the multibillion-dollar penalties in a long-running dispute over meat labelling. Canada is in a position to retaliate after a series of rulings against an American law that requires meat sold in the U.S. to carry a label saying where it was born, raised and slaughtered. The law’s proponents call it a valuable bit of information for consumers. Its opponents call it

unfair protectionism, designed to complicate the sorting process for companies that import from Canada and Mexico. Because the WTO sided against the U.S., Canada is preparing to slap 100 per cent tariffs on a variety of U.S. products ranging from wine to frozen orange juice and Mexico could follow suit. At the same time, American lawmakers are moving to end the dispute. A bill to cancel the labelling rule passed the House of Representatives last week, although to become law it also has to clear the Senate. Some Democratic lawmakers who support mandatory labelling urged their colleagues in the House debate to wait, while the inevitable dispute over the dollar amount plays out with the WTO.

BERRY BARBECUE Kamloops This Week is amping up its inner foodie in 2015. The biweekly Cuisine page looks a bit different this year. Each month, we will highlight recipes as they correspond to various cultural holidays. Those recipes will come from foodies in the community — from restaurant chefs and owners to home cooks — along with a brief explanation of the dish and holiday. This series will be paired with KTW reporter Andrea Klassen’s beer column on the Cuisine page every second Thursday. Bon apetit! This month, KTW is featuring First Nations food in honour of National Aboriginal Day. The day, held on Sunday, celebrates heritage, culture and achievements of

oday’s Bad Rider post is brought to you by the Google search ‘what’s the difference between a radler and a shandy?’ You smarter beer geeks are already laughing but, for the rest of you on the same page as me: Nothing, other than country of origin. Per a variety of sources, radler is the favoured term in Germany, while shandy is preferred by the British. In both cases, it’s traditionally a combination of beer and lemonade, ginger ale or other mixer of your choose. The reason for the confusion is fair enough, I think. Every shandy I’ve ever had has been OK to dreadful and my one radler experience — Parallel 49’s Tricycle Radler — is one of the great summer beverages. I mean, it’s basically really good grapefruit juice that gives you a little buzz. Bowen Island’s offering make the shandy-radler linkage clearer. Like other commercially available, premixed shandies, it’s lemon flavoured. Unlike most of the competition, it doesn’t immediately taste

RIDER like dish soap from the glass you didn’t rinse quite as well as you thought, so props there. But, lemon’s likely to be more divisive because the amount of sweet required to make a palatable mix is a lot higher than what seems to be required for grapefruit. The extra sweetness and thinner mouth feel more reminiscent of soda made Easy Radler feel much more of a piece with what’s coming from the bigger breweries, though it’s miles ahead in terms of flavour. At the end of the day, I’ll stick with grapefruit for my needs, but of the options out there — this one’s not half bad. Andrea Klassen is a KTW reporter and beer blogger.

FATHER’S DAY

What are you planning for dad this Father’s Day? Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider and confidante. Father’s Day activities should be centred around dad’s interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honor dad or another special man in your life. • Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a funfilled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favourite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise dad by purchasing

tickets to a sporting event. • Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favorite foods and a cold beer and dad may just say this was his best celebration yet. • Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adventure should be a winner. Take dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get dad’s adrenaline pumping. • R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few

grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending. • Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the centre of attention. A Father’s Day party thrown in his honour, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father’s Day and let dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function. Plan a Father’s Day celebration with your dad in mind. Cater to his favourite activities and opt for entertainment that he will enjoy.

Don’t forget about these events on Sunday • Father’s Day brunch, car show, swap meet and craft fair at Heffley Creek Hall: The day will include a pancake breakfast, old car show, swap meet, flea market and craft fair all in one place and something for everyone. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 6995 Old Highway 5. If you bring your old car, the driver will get a free meal. Brunch is $10 for adults. For more information, call 250578-7525. • The 16th annual B.C.’s Family Fishing Weekend at Walloper Lake: Take advantage of the opportunity to fish for free during Family Fishing Weekend. Organized by The Kamloops and District Fish and Game Association and the Kamloops Flyfishers. Club members will provide boats and equipment to take youngsters onto the lake for a taste of fishing. Individuals can also fish off the area dock and

enjoy hotdogs, burgers and drinks on the shore at no cost. Fishing licences are not required for this one-day event. Contact Mo Bradley at 778470-8372 or at Surplus Herbies on Friday or Saturday for more information. • Father’s Day at the B.C. Wildlife Park: Celebrate Father’s Day at the B.C. Wildlife Park from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bring the whole family to enjoy several exciting activities. The B.C. Wildlife Park will again sponsor a Do It For Dad event for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C., including a pancake breakfast, entertainment, a five-kilometre walk, draws and other post-event activities. Bring your dad or just come out to help celebrate all the men you know. For more information, go online to thefathersdayrun.ca or bczoo. org.

ith a master’s degree in natural resources, Addie Houlberg admits her parents would like to see her in a nice government job or safely ensconced with a big company. Instead, the black sheep became a farmer. “People really like to grow their own food,” said Houlberg, 26. “It’s a fundamental right. I thought maybe I should stop reading about farming and growing and actually do something about it.” Armed with no money or family farm — but enthusiasm and book smarts — Houlberg decided she would begin a career for which there is no local apprenticeship. Agricultural promoters and government believe

there are more Houlbergs out there: Young (or early retired) people with a burning desire to make a living from the land and become the next generation of farmers. On June 24, the city of Kamloops and Community Futures Thompson Country are hosting a workshop to determine interest here in a farm business incubator program to assist aspiring farmers like Houlberg. The proposed program is more than a simple mentorship or business advice. “It’s a community supported farm and it provides new entrants with an opportunity to try it for a short time before they buy land and make a big investment,” said Community Futures project manager Shirley Culver. Land has not been identified but Culver said it will likely be supplied by the City of Kamloops. It could also include a tractor, storage area and tools. A subsidized lease would be provided along with

mentorship and business training. Speakers at the workshop include Christie Young, executive director of national incubator program FarmStart, and Elmarie Roberts, who oversees an incubator organic garden based in Saanich. Culver said that pro-

gram, which has greenhouses and small animals, has nine farmers enrolled. Those in the program can enrol for up to two four-year terms. “It’s for people like Addie,” Culver said. “Are there others like her?” Others include Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s

Richmond farm school. Students take farming courses and must complete 350 hours of practical work on a university farm. Houlberg went on her own, first renting about an acre and a half at Tranquille and selling her produce through its farmers’ market. Challenges included

lack of tools and machinery or advice from seasoned farmers. That, and the fact profit is not seen until the end of the season in October. Despite that, she came away with the feeling “that I can grow food for 20 families. “That’s really rewarding to me.” Today, she works at Thistle Farm in Westsyde and is looking to the future when she can invest in her own operation. More information on the workshop is available at kamloops.ca/letstalk.

his weekend, they’ll be thinking about Jim. They will remember him as an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend. But, they’ll also remember his love for music, having been a talented guitar player. KTW spoke to family — Clay Chalmers and Kim ChalmersRoberts, who are brother and sister, and June van der Star, their cousin — who will come from their corners of the province to Kamloops this weekend for Ride Don’t Hide. The event, a community bike ride hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association, takes place throughout the country but June chose to unite family in Kamloops, where many of them live, so they could also spend a low-key weekend together. It will be a reunion of sorts, also celebrating two birthdays, but, on Sunday, about 20 of them who make up Jim’s Black

You live your “life thinking this doesn’t happen to you . . .

”

— CLAY CHALMERS

Birds will ride for Jim Chalmers, who killed himself last year. “One of his favourite songs was Black Bird by the Beatles,” said June, his neice. “I thought it was appropriate.” The group wants to share their experience because, as Jim’s son Clay said is evidenced by the $4,500 they’ve raised so far, mental illness doesn’t discriminate. “You live your life thinking this doesn’t happen to you and, when it does, you sure don’t wish anyone to go through the same experience,” he said. The goal of the event is to quash stigma of mental illness and the family knows why it’s important. “For our dad, it was very difficult to diagnose him,” daughter Kim said. “It wasn’t something that was openly talked about.” There are other challenges — such as, as Clay put it, “How

do you teach people to listen to things that aren’t said?” — but they hope to open dialogue and educate. “There’s tools, there’s courses, there’s more that we can do to enable ourselves to go and get help,” Kim said. They’ll be working to help achieve those goals in memory of Jim this weekend — but it wouldn’t be a weekend about him without music. “[We’ll] probably have a few guitars,” June said. The event, which is geared at families and suitable for all riding levels, takes place at Centennial Park in Westsyde on Sunday. Choose from five, 10 or 23 kilometres, with warm-up starting at 9 a.m. and the ride at 9:30 a.m. Registration is $35, but kids are free when accompanied by an adult. Late registrations are welcome at 8:30 a.m. on the day of the ride. It will also include a guest speaker, barbecue, prizes and music during and after the ride.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Q and A with an art teacher KARLA PEARCE INTERVIEWS PHILIPPA GLOSSOP

eaching children can be an extremely challenging and rewarding profession. It takes years of dedication and a degree of stamina to keep all of those young minds engaged and excited about learning. One of Kamloops’ most respected and well-known art teachers at St. Ann’s Academy has dedicated 10 years of her life to sharing her expert knowledge of art and photography with her students, preparing them for a lifetime of understanding of what art is and what it takes to be creative. Some of her students have and will go on to become great artists in their own right and others will continue with the ability to read creative language and understand art today. This gift to our children and community cannot be understated or overlooked as something small or trivial. Without art in our schools, our community would descend into a very grey place where artists would become isolated from our society. In my opinion, dedicated teachers like Phillippa Glossop help keep Canadian culture alive in our youth in a time of mass-production and imported kitch culture. After 10 years of dedicated service to the young minds and hearts of our community, Philippa is leaving to pursue other creative endeavors. We wish her the best and thank her for her positive creative encouragement while helping shape our community. The following is an interview with the outgoing teacher. Karla Pearce: How did you get your start in art? Philippa Glossop: I have always loved creating things, even

children but I had a policy — if you were visiting the studio you had to be creating something.

”

—PHILIPPA GLOSSOP, ART TEACHER

The Creative

EDGE

when I was a child. My father was a graphic designer and my mother an art historian. On weekends my father would take me to his work place where there was lots of paper and markers to play with. Our house was always full of historical and contemporary artwork so it is no surprise I decided to become a visual artist. KP: How did you get your start in teaching? PG: My interest in teaching art began purely by accident. I hadn’t considered teaching as a profession when I graduated from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1986. It wasn’t until 1994, when asked by a friend to tutor her daughter in still-life drawing, that I was introduced to the rewards of teaching. My student was keen and I was more than happy to share my knowledge. As word travelled in the community that art classes were available, my art school started to grow from a few students per week to 36. Eventually, I moved my studio from my home to a larger working space in Juniper Ridge elementary in order to provide my students with more space in which to be creative. We had lots of fun exploring painting, drawing and learning to use a pottery wheel. Sometimes parents would want to stay to watch their children

but I had a policy — if you were visiting the studio you had to be creating something. Soon, I was teaching adult classes during the evenings and on the weekends. I had one group of women that would come every Thursday and it lasted for three years. KP: When did you start teaching at St. Ann’s Academy? PG: In 2006, I started teaching art and photography at St. Ann’s Academy, a wonderful school with caring staff and a great community feel. Over the years the students have worked diligently, exploring new ways to create their work and learning how to express themselves visually. Proudly they have shown their work at the Kamloops Art Gallery, The Old Courthouse Arnica and the Tea House. I am constantly inspired by my students; they are a wealth of ideas and they often make me feel like joining them while they work. When the opportunity arises I just pull up a stool and work along-side them. KP: What is the best thing about being an art teacher? PG: In the past 18 years, I have worked with more than 6,000 students, helping to nurture their creativity in varying forms. I also had the opportunity to observe their individual creative processes and the unique way they approach design problems. KP: What is the hardest thing about being an art teacher?

Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to! Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things:

Sometimes parents would “want to stay to watch their

KARLA PEARCE

PG: The most difficult thing about being an art teacher and a practising artist is finding the time to create. My days are long and there are always larger school projects to work on. By the time the evening comes and I am ready for school the next day it’s well past 9 p.m. and I am often too tired to start my own projects. I am hoping the move to Maple Ridge will give me the time I have been craving to work on my own paintings. KP: What is your favourite medium? PG: I love to paint, particularly with oils. I can happily spend time mixing colours, applying the paint in thick brush strokes to the canvas. I am always open to painting various subject matter but I have always enjoyed creating landscapes and still life images. KP: How can we find you in the future? PG: My new website is under construction but won’t be ready for a while yet. Come September, one can search for me under Philippa’s Young @ Art.

1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply 2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it. 3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.* Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

wo years ago, everything changed for Angela Ippolito. The 17-year-old Beattie School of the Arts student was in Grade 10 and her father had been having liver problems. It wasn’t concerning for her family at first — her parents didn’t even tell her about it right away — but, then, “that’s when everything happened.” Her father had been admitted into the intensive-care unit once before but, this time, his health worsened. “His liver disease spread and he got an infection and that’s when he passed away,” Ippolito said. “It was really unexpected.” She gave up her extracurricular activities, volunteering, dance and piano lessons, to support her father through illness — and her straight As began slipping. “It was really hard,” she said. “It affected everything in my life.” Two years later, her grades are back

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Beattie School of the Arts student Angela Ippolito has earned more than $8,000 in scholarships.

up, she has two university courses completed through the TRU Start program and the Horatio Alger Association of Canada has awarded her with a $5,000 scholarship to help fund her future education. The association received nearly 3,500 applications across four provinces and Ippolito was one of fewer than 20 selected to receive the scholarship in B.C. Candidate criteria includes financial need but also “demonstrated

integrity and perseverance in overcoming adversity, as well as strength of character, a good academic record, a commitment to pursue higher education and a desire to contribute to society.” When KTW sat down with Ippolito to discuss the award, she had 12 days left of high school before graduation. “It’s the countdown,” she said with a laugh. She’s headed to the Philippines to visit family this summer

but, in the fall, she’ll be back at Thompson Rivers University. Her long-term plans include: “Try my best in school, get a job, take care of my mom,” she said. And, “whatever happens comes.” Ippolito looked into attending the University of British Columbia but decided to stay close to home. Being an only child, she didn’t want to leave her mom in Kamloops alone. “I thought, I need to be here for her,” she said.

Ford agrees to spend $3.1B to meet Michigan tax incentives ises by Detroit’s major automakers — Ford, General Motors and Chrysler — to keep jobs in the state. Snyder and lawmakers had to make budget cuts months ago after being caught off guard by larger-than-expected tax credit redemptions.

DRIVE WAY State economic development officials said the new deal gives Ford a strong incentive to maintain and expand its Michigan presence, while the state gets better predictability on the size and timing of credits being claimed annually. The deal combines and revises four agreements the automaker struck with the former Michigan Economic Growth Authority between 2009 and 2011. The deal does not change the overall number of retained jobs that Ford can qualify for, currently set at 40,200, but it caps the total value of credits at $2.3 billion through 2025. Ford’s cumulative in-state capital investment could double to at least $6.2 billion. “That’s a strong sign that they believe in Michigan’s economy and are interested in investing with it,” Snyder told The Associated Press. “So, I view it as a good win-win.” The $2.3 billion cap was based on a prediction of what Ford might have qualified for under its original “open-ended’’ agreements, said Charlie Pryde, Ford’s regional director for state and local government relations. State officials have reported trouble fore-

casting the budget ramifications of prior deals because of timing issues and uncapped growth in wages, health care benefits and businesses’ investment in an improving economy. The Snyder administration approached Ford in mid-February, hours after telling legislators that Michigan was potentially on the hook for nearly $3 billion more in business tax credits than planned, said Michigan Economic Development Corp. CEO Steve Arwood. Arwood said the Ford agreement is a “great framework’’ for the MEDC’s similar talks with a half-dozen companies, but he stopped short of saying whether GM and Chrysler were among those other businesses. “It’s exactly what we had hoped to achieve out of this. It contains the transparency. It contains working with the individual company [on a] plan forward so there are no surprises,’’ Arwood said. Ford likely will not have trouble spending $3.1 billion in Michigan in the next decade. Over the last year, Ford has spent an estimated $1 billion retrofitting plants in Dearborn and near Kansas City, Missouri, and a Michigan metal stamping factory to

Brazillian auto sales plummet SAO PAULO — Plummeting auto sales in Brazil amid the nation’s worst economic crisis in a decade have battered the industry that makes up one-fourth of the country’s industrial gross domestic product and has led to widespread layoffs and mandatory leaves. At least 6,000 workers in auto factories have been laid off since January, officials say, and another 20,000 put on furlough. Those add to thousands of jobs lost last year. Additionally, Fenabrave, an association of auto dealers, said 250 of the country’s

produce its new F-150 pickup truck. And in 2013, the company invested $555 million at its plant in Flat Rock to build the new Mustang.

Ford will be required to periodically forecast estimated tax credits received to date. There also will be unspecified limits on

the amount of credits that can be claimed in a given year. The state stopped awarding new business tax credits beginning in 2012 under a new

tax code — in favour of direct cash incentives and loans — but the old credits will continue having a budget impact. Lawmakers are

considering legislation that would prevent the state from significantly amending existing tax incentive deals unless the new agreements lower the credits’ value.

DRIVE WAY RUSSIA’S NEW TANK

A computerized step toward fully robotic vehicles VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NIZHNY TAGIL, Russia — Russia’s new tank, the Armata, is expected to form the backbone of the nation’s armed forces for years to come. Its designers say the new machine may evolve into a fully robotic vehicle that could operate autonomously on the battlefield. Here is a look at some of the key features of the new tank:

REMOTE-CONTROLLED TURRET The Armata is groundbreaking in having a remote-controlled turret and an internal capsule for the crew that is isolated from ammunition and fuel, a layout that could significantly increase the chances for the crew survival if the tank is hit. While previous Russian tanks featured a low silhouette and compact size at the expense of crew com-

fort, the Armata is significantly bigger and heavier. Designers say they put special emphasis on ergonomics, so that even very tall people feel comfortable in it. One designer said the new tank is as pleasant and easy to drive as a modern SUV.

COMPUTERIZED CONTROLS The Armata features a digital control system that directs its movement, tracks targets and activates the tank’s defence systems. It frees the crew from performing routine tasks to allow it to focus on key combat functions. “For the crew, it’s like playing a video game,’’ said Ilya Demchenko, one of the Armata’s designers. The Armata’s chief designer, Andrei Terlikov, said the new technologies built into the Armata could make it possible in the future to build a fully robotic vehicle that would

operate autonomously on the battlefield.

MODULAR DESIGN The new tank is part of a family of new armoured vehicles built on a unified platform that has a structure based on replaceable modules. This helps lower production costs and leaves room for further development. The Armata family includes a heavy armoured infantry vehicle that offers the same level of protection as the tank and various support machines.

SUPERIOR PROTECTION The Armata uses a new type of armour which designers say is significantly more resistant to enemy fire, although they are coy about its specific characteristics. On top of that, the vehicle is protected by an improved version of reactive armour, which explodes on impact to stop

Russia’s new Armata tank provides a video-game-like experience for soldiers within its walls.

a projectile from reaching the main layer of armour. The Armata is also equipped with a so-called active protection system, forming an outer perimeter of its defences. When the system spots an enemy projectile, it fires

a round to destroy it or knock it off its path.

SUPER CANNON

The current version of the Armata is equipped with standard-calibre 125-mm cannon, similar to those used on current

tanks, which can fire both regular shells and rockets. Designers say that a much more powerful 152mm cannon could be easily fitted to the Armata in the future — although they say there is no need for that yet.

Honda preps for big air bag deals

DETROIT — Honda Motor Co. is setting aside another $363 million to fund a growing recall of air bags that can explode with too much force. The automaker announced the spending in Tokyo and said the additional costs will show up in revised earnings for the fiscal year that ended March 31. The costs won’t affect the company’s dividend or earnings forecasts, it said in a statement. Last month, air bag maker Takata Corp. gave in to pressure from U.S. safety regulators and agreed to double the size of an air bag inflator recall to a record 33.8 million. Takata’s inflators can explode with too much force, sending metal shrapnel into a car’s passenger compartment. So far, the problem has caused at least six deaths and 105 injuries worldwide. Another death is under investigation in Lafayette, La. Honda is Takata’s largest customer and so far has recalled about 20 million inflators worldwide. Ten other automakers use Takata inflators and have had to expand their recalls as well. Honda is fronting the cost of the recalls and likely will settle up with Takata later.

GM returns to medium-duty trucks with Isuzu partnership YURI KAGEYAMA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO — Detroit-based General Motors Co. is expanding its partnership with Japanese truckmaker Isuzu Motors by collaborating in the U.S. and marking GM’s return to the mediumduty commercial truck business. Under the deal announced Tuesday, Isuzu will produce models for GM based on the Isuzu N-Series truck. They will be distributed by GM’s Chevrolet dealers in

North America, starting as soon as next year. GM and Isuzu will also explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu trucks. GM will continue to produce and supply six-litre V-8 gasoline engines and six-speed transmissions for Isuzu. Isuzu has diesel engines but lacks gas engines. GM quit the mediumduty truck business in 2009 when it was going through financial turmoil. It was part of the effort that allowed the automaker to remove itself from bank-

ruptcy protection. Isuzu and GM, which makes the Cadillac, Buick and Opel cars, have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years. GM at one point owned nearly half of Isuzu. It sold its remaining small shareholding in Isuzu in 2006. After that, Toyota Motor Corp. bought a 5.9 per cent stake in Isuzu, becoming the top automaker shareholder in Isuzu. The Japanese automaker has offered the N-Series — known in Asia as the Isuzu T:10.25" Elf — since 1959.
