Millions for water-intake projects

Red fire retardant stains the underside of a fire bomber as it returns to Kamloops Airport following a weekend mission. Through Sunday, there have been 865 wildfires in B.C. that have burned 221,000 hectares. The 10-year average is 1,847 fires and 115,000 hectares burned per year. Last year in the province, 1,484 wildfires burned 369,000 hectares. The closest blaze to Kamloops is the 30-hectare Venables Valley fire south of Ashcroft. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Highway 33 in the Okanagan were also under evacuation order. Within the Kamloops fire region, the busiest centre is the Penticton zone, where three of six fires of note are located. While the Thompson and North Thompson valleys have not seen any significant forest fires, despite weeks of record heat and lack of rain, there have been 169 fires in the larger fire centre so far this year. That’s up from the average of 136. Nearly 3,500 hectares have been burned, compared to the 1,400-hectare norm in the first week of July. The Cisco fire, at 2,200 hectares, is responsible for much of the total. Adams said the fire department hopes to better deploy its resources on local spot fires with a new system brought in last year.

A splash of cash from the federal and provincial governments has knocked down the price of an emergency water intake for the City of Kamloops by about two-thirds. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and city MLAs Terry Lake and Todd Stone announced yesterday their governments will contribute more than $6 million for the intake on the North Thompson River. Residents in Black Pines in the ThompsonNicola Regional District will also get just under $450,000 from each level of government for a new intake for their community water system. The cash comes from Small Communities Fund, a program in which the feds, the province and the local community each chip in an equal amount for infrastructure projects. The Kamloops project, estimated at $9 million, is among the largest to be funded in B.C. during this grant cycle. The city will spend $3 million. Mayor Peter Milobar said the secondary intake can keep the city serviced with water in the event of a train derailment or other disaster that could contaminate the city’s regular water supply from the South Thompson river. Milobar said any contamination between the city and the Shuswap could leave the community without water, forcing it to truck in drinking water and leaving residents unable to flush toilets. “It only takes an incident to happen to say, ‘Why didn’t we think about this?’” Milobar said. The intake will be built at 720 Yates Rd. in Westsyde, with construction to start in 2016.

KAMLOOPS SITTING IN A RING OF FIRE CAM FORTEMS

The city and valley remain in the centre of a ring of fire as hot and dry conditions have crews battling large blazes that threaten homes and forests across B.C. “Everyone is on a sense of alert,” said Mike Adams, deputy chief of Kamloops Fire Rescue. Much of the region is moving up the dial to high or extreme risk of wildfire. In the wider Kamloops Fire Centre, blazes have been ignited in the Fraser Canyon and Okanagan, where the threat forced evacuation of a small number of homes. A fire on the weekend south of Ashcroft forced relocation for people gathered in the Venables Valley for a local music festival. That fire was most recently estimated at

about 30 hectares. Another small fire is burning in an area southwest of Barriere, but no structures are under threat. There are six wildfires of note burning in the region, which extends as far south as the U.S. border. The largest remains the Cisco fire near Lytton, which has produced intermittent smoke in the valley for weeks, but is now 95 per cent contained. “We won’t be able to wrap up the entire perimeter,” said fire information officer Kayla Pepper. The remaining five per cent is in rocky alpine area. It will be allowed to creep up and be snuffed out as it reaches snowy areas. The Coastal and Northwest fire centres are the busiest in the province, with 100 homes in Port Hardy evacuated due to threat. A small number of houses off

The victim of a car theft at the Tournament Capital Centre said the fact thieves carefully cased him out before stealing his mint Mustang suggests a criminal ring may be at work. Claude Schaffner is desperately seeking the return of camera cards inside his car and is unhappy with RCMP response to the crime. On the late afternoon of May 31, the retired barber went into the TCC, where he is a regular. Mindful of the risk of loss, he put his own lock on a locker inside the change room. When he returned, the lock was cut and his keys were missing — along with his convertible Mustang in the parking lot and about $6,000 worth

of camera gear. That included camera cards with years of memories, including photos of grandchildren and a funeral. “That was the heartbreaking part — everything else I can replace,” Schaffner said. He is offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the camera’s memory cards. The good news is Schaffner got his beloved car back, minus hubs on his wheels, the battery and everything of value inside. It was found a week later, abandoned at the campus of the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in Merritt. “It’s at Kamloops Ford Lincoln,” he said, adding “it has a few issues.” Schaffner is a regular at the TCC. His theory is he was followed by the thieves from the lot. They noted his locker and

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

used the bolt cutters to get his keys and steal the Mustang. Based on conversations with other people, he also wonders whether there’s a theft ring at play. However, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said in an e-mail message there is no evidence other cars have been stolen in a similar way from the TCC. “I am not aware of any other recent incidents of this nature, nothing to suggest a ring,” she said. Schaffner demanded police view surveillance video. He is unhappy it took the investigator three weeks to get back to him with news it was a rotating camera and didn’t lead to any identification of the thieves. Bush said the investigation remains active.

Since this story was posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com, KTW has received messages from others who say they have also been victims of locker break-ins at the TCC. Have you been victimized? Can the city do more to prevent the crimes? Send your thoughts to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

The head of the local United Way for the past 11 years is leaving to join the organization in the Lower Mainland. Brenda Aynsley, currently executive director of the United Way of the Thompson-NicolaCariboo, will leave on July 31 to become vicepresident of resource development with the United Way of the Lower Mainland. “Brenda has been a fantastic leader for our United Way over the last 11 years and she is leaving the organization in a strong position, with dedicated and talented staff and lots of momentum to keep building, BRENDA which is AYNSLEY the true test of a great leader,” United Way board chairman Jason Fawcett said. During Aynsley’s time as CEO, the annual United Way campaign locally grew from raising $880,000 to $2.3 million last year. In addition, United Way helped form the Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan and worked with the City of Kamloops and the community to create the John Tod Centre under Aynsley’s leadership. A recruitment process for a new executive director has begun, led by a committee attached to United Way’s executive of the board of directors, and is expected to be complete by the fall.

SOLD-OUT EVENT RELEASING 500 TICKETS TODAY ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

Tim McLeod has a warning for Kamloopsians headed to the Aberdeen Mall area on July 18 — don’t expect to leave dry. “Out goal is to soak everybody,” said McLeod, development manager at Tranquille Farm Fresh, which is bringing Slide the City’s 1,000-foot long slip and slide to town. “If you’re coming to be a bystander, beware. Have an umbrella.” Tickets for the event sold out almost two weeks ago but, due to demand, McLeod said another batch of 500 tickets is up for grabs starting today at slidethecity.com/ events/kamloops. He’s estimating about 4,000 people will ride the slide, which will stretch down Hillside Drive from Hillside Way to Notre Dame Drive, on Saturday, July 18.

Slide the City events have run in various cities across the United States, but Kamloops will be one of the slip and slide’s first Canadian outings, alongside outings in Edmonton and Toronto. Ticket buyers extend well beyond Kamloops. “We’ve got people coming from Kelowna and Vancouver and Prince George,” McLeod said. “They’re coming from all over, which is pretty cool and it’s not something we’d anticipated.” The sliding day begins at 9 a.m., when all-day pass holders will have an hour of private sliding, before a celebrity race at 10 a.m. to kick off the event in full. Sliding continues until 6 p.m. — or 7 p.m. for all-day pass holders. Besides the slide itself, McLeod said food vendors will set up at the bottom of Hillside Drive and a kids’ activity area at the top of the slide

will offer face painting, bouncy castles and other activities for children under five years of age who are too young to ride the slide. For sliders waiting to head down the hill, organizers plan to set up a mister to cool down down the lineups, while Kamloops Fire Rescue is also hoping to bring a pump truck to provide additional spray. “Unless you’re prepared to get wet, it’s better to stay at home,” McLeod said, adding water guns are encouraged during the event. If this year’s event is a success, McLeod said he’s hoping to see it return to the city annually — possibly stretching over two days in future years. The slide won’t return to B.C. again until the end of August when, according to Slide the City’s website, it will head to North Vancouver.

Black Pines From A1

Unlike the city’s regular supply, water from the emergency intake would need to be boiled because the city’s treatment process for the South Thompson doesn’t work on the mix of materials in the waters of the North Thompson. Milobar said with higher levels of government on board, the city can now build the project without raising water rates, which already factor in some of the cost of the intake. Unlike the Kamloops project, it’s a little less certain whether the Black Pines intake will proceed. Owners of the 42 properties that use the Black Pines water system failed to approve a new intake earlier this year. But, electoral area P director Mel Rothenburger said, with only about $450,000 of costs to cover instead of a full $1.35 million, residents may be more amenable to the bill. “At least it’s worth going back and discussing it with them,” he said. The issue will likely go to a petition or referendum this fall. Rothenburger said the existing intake in the area is constantly in need of repair and water often becomes silty. The new intake would be moved to a more reliable spot to improve the supply.

Weekend fire in Sahali forces out residents TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The occupants of a 12-unit Sahali apartment building could be homeless for four months after an earlymorning fire damaged a third-floor suite over the weekend. Emergency crews were called to the Wood Lane Manor apartments on Whiteshield Crescent South at about 6:30 a.m. on Sunday after fire broke out on a balcony. “When they arrived

at the scene, they found a substantial amount of fire from the deck of a unit on the third floor,” Kamloops Fire Rescue investigator Sheldon Guertin said. The fire was knocked down, but the damage was done. “There was substantial damage to the outside of the building, the roof and some fire damage inside the suite,” Guertin said, noting smoke and water damage was heavy in multiple suites. The 800-block of

the Wood Lane Manor apartments will remain unoccupied until the building can be brought back up to liveable standards. “We’ll have to make sure all the systems are brought up to code,” Guertin said. “The insurance people haven’t even been in there yet. We’re talking probably four months.” Emergency social services offers 72 hours of accommodation to residents displaced by fire but, after that, they’re on their own.

Crash victim from Vancouver The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in a motorcycle crash in Knutsford on Thursday afternoon. He was Colin Leslie Mackay, 42, of Vancouver. Mackay was riding his motorcycle northbound on Highway 5A when, at 1:20 p.m., he left the

highway on an uphill curve near Cardew Hill — about 10 kilometres south of Kamloops — and cartwheeled down a 12-metre (36-foot) embankment. Mackay died at the scene. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate Mackay’s death.

“Insurance could take that over if they have insurance,” Guertin said. “Otherwise, they’re looking at finding their own arrangements or staying with family or friends.” The cause of the

blaze could not be determined, but Guertin said he was able to pinpoint where it started. “From speaking to witnesses and from what we found, the fire did come from a deck in the northeast corner

and it did come from a flower planter,” he said. Residents of the attached 700-block building have been allowed to return home. The manager of the Wood Lane Manor apartments refused comment.

NOTICE FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT NO. TUP00050

The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice that it is proposing to pass a resolution to issue Temporary Use Permit No. TUP00050 for the property below at its regular meeting to be held: TIME: PLACE: Location:

July 14, 2015, at 1:30 pm City Hall Council Chambers (7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, BC) 4600 Tranquille Road, as shown on the following map:

“The information we had was that he had a gun and a knife and he had, in fact, shot somebody.” Due to the seriousness of the claim, Epp said, all available officers from the city and rural detachments were deployed to the area and nearby homes were evacuated. After about two-and-a-half hours, emergency response team members entered the house and found nothing to substantiate the claims in the 911 call. Epp said police are trying to track the call as it was not traceable at the time.

Purpose:

If approved, the Temporary Use Permit would permit an outdoor recreational vehicle/boat storage yard, a 115-stall recreational vehicle park, and a farm market on the subject property for one additional three-year term.

A copy of the proposed Temporary Use Permit No. TUP00050 may be inspected at the Legislative Services Division, City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West, Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays), between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.

Air quality still ‘moderate’ turned into wildfires.” Those include fires around Barriere, Clearwater and Salmon Arm. The wildfire branch uses spotter aircraft looking for smoke and also utilizes satellite imagery. The large number of fires across the province has not severely impacted the valley’s air quality. Yesterday, Environment Canada said Kamloops air quality it remained in the lowest category of “moderate,” where it is forecast to remain today.

Prank call led to police response A 911 call on Friday about a shooting that prompted Mounties from the Kamloops city and rural detachments to shut down streets in Brocklehurst turned out to be a false alarm. Mounties surrounded a home at 1129 Lethbridge Ave. from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., believing a person was inside and had shot someone. In the end, the call turned out to be false. “At about 1:30 this afternoon, we got a 911 call, saying there was a guy with a knife and a gun outside in one of the yards,” Const. Jason Epp said on Friday.

remaining population below 150,000. In Kamloops, using a population of 89,417, that’s an expense limit of just under $56,000, which would be adjusted for inflation for future elections. By contrast, Mayor Peter Milobar spent just over $37,000 on his November 2014 campaign — the most expensive in the city by far. His closest challenger, Pierre Filisetti, spent less than $500, according to campaign finance filings with Elections BC. Filisetti said he doesn’t imagine the new campaign limits will do much to change the field of local politics. “My take is, after last November’s experience, someone running for office needs a fair amount of popular support beforehand to stand a good chance at getting elected,” he said. While money also

helps, Filisetti believes the proposed spending limits are “generous” enough to accommodate Kamloops campaigns. Milobar agreed the new limits are unlikely to change the look of mayoral campaigns locally, though he said it’s possible some candidates may feel compelled to spend up to the limit now that one exists. “I think they did a good job in recognizing the difference between running for mayor and running for councillor in terms of the size of the campaign needed and the public expectation around the look of a campaign,” he said. Council and school trustee candidates, who would be governed by a similar formula, would have expense limits of just over $28,000 — well above the $19,864 spent by council candidate Mike O’Reilly, who ran Kamloops’ most expen-

reigning in campaign expenses too greatly, arguing election spending is a public good. “Campaign spending performs and valuable function in our communities,” the committee’s report states. “Among other things, campaign spending promotes civic engagement and voter participation and educates voters about local issues.” The recommended spending limits still have to be endorsed by the legislature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously. They are part of a series of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years. The committee wants third-party advertisers limited to five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend. The spending limits would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year. B.C. is joining Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador in placing spending limits on at least some of their local elections.

sive non-mayoral campaign. According to the committee’s report, few communities would see election spending dramatically curtailed by the new limits. The report argues most local campaign spending in B.C. is within acceptable levels already and “only anomalous amounts of spending by outliers needed to be rolled back.” Of the 202 candidates who ran for mayor across the province in communities with more than 10,000 people, only 31 would have exceeded the recommended expense limits, and only 69 of 977 council candidates would have done the same. A handful of candidates — seven mayoral and 36 council — would have been within $2,000 of the proposed limit. Most candidates in communities with fewer than 10,000 residents, where the government is proposing flat campaign limits, would also not have exceeded proposed spending restrictions. Members of the committee, which was headed by Fraser-Nicola Liberal MLA Jackie Tegart, cautioned against

A Kamloops dental surgeon acted incompetently when he administered sedation without proper procedures to a young woman who ended up with irreversible brain damage. A panel of the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. released its findings yesterday after hearings in late 2014 and earlier this year into the practice of Dr. Bobby Rishiraj, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who practices in the city. His 18-year-old patient, whose wisdom teeth were being removed, suffered brain damage after she went into cardiac arrest while under a powerful triple sedation of drugs. “Dr. Rishiraj left the operatory while the freezing and triple sedation took effect,” the panel wrote in its decision. “He left again while a patient was recovering after surgery had been completed. When his patients were recovering from the effect of sedation, they were left with facility employees who had no training in anesthesia recovery.” The panel dismissed an allegation he was improperly trained to administer the anesthetics in question. But, it did find Rishiraj did not follow proper guidelines, in part due to “efficiencies” — treating as many patients in as short of time as possible. A penalty has not yet been levied by the college. Rishiraj continues to practice in Kamloops, but is under limits and conditions imposed by the college.

Ajax likely outside of Liberal plans STAFF REPORTER

The three-and-ahalf months before the October federal election, along with the time it would take to draft new legislation, means a proposed environmental overhaul by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau may not capture the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine, according to Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Grit candidate Steve Powrie. Trudeau has come out against Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and announced this week a Liberal government will “restore credibility to environmental

federal and provincial governments is late summer or early fall. The federal election is on Oct. 19. Powrie speculated a further drop in copper prices could delay company plans, making it possible to capture the proposal in a Liberal overhaul of legislation. The Liberal candidate said he has always believed Ajax should have come under a federal panel review given its complexity and proximity to a city of 85,000. That review would have been overseen by an independent panel of experts, with ability to utilize scientists not hired by mining company KGHM Ajax. A panel review was

IT’S HOT — DON’T MAKE IT HOTTER Almost 200 fires are burning across British Columbia in what Forests Minister Steve Thomson is calling the earliest and most active start to a season in memory. While Kamloops is fortunate thus far — we are blaze-free as we sit surrounded by a ring of fire — there is a slow-growing haze in the air, but nothing like the thick smoke and ash that has blanketed the Lower Mainland. Mother Nature has created many factors that have contributed to this perfect firestorm: An extremely dry winter and spring, followed by searing heat in June that produced record-setting temperatures. And, the heat wave shows no sign of abating. Then there is the human element (though many would point to the last paragraph as being the result of human-generated fossil-fuel activity) attached to the fact the province is burning. As the past weekend came to a close, there have been 865 wildfires in British Columbia this year. Of those fires, about 40 per cent were caused by humans, be it a campfire not properly doused or a cigarette tossed out the window of a vehicle. The blazes have been so persistent that the province’s 2015 firefighting budget of $63 million has been burned through. More than $80 million has now been spent and summer is officially only 17 days old. It will continue to be a hot and hazy summer and, while there is nothing that can be done about lightning strikes, those 40 per cent of fires started by people were 100 per cent preventable. We need to smarten up collectively and use our common sense when in the backcountry. In the meantime, you can follow the wildfire situation in the province online at bcwildfires.ca, which offers constant updates and statistics to compare this fire season to past events.

The story so far . . .

did not expect it to go like this. Three months ago, when I started working on a feature series about accused murderer Peter Beckett, the intention was to tell what I knew was a fascinating story in a way that would inform our readers while still complying with all the rules — written and unwritten — that govern writing about court cases prior to trial. Those rules are in place for a good and fundamental reason — so as not to prejudice potential jurors and make a trial unfair. The intention was not to make Beckett look guilty or innocent or mean or sympathetic. I just knew this was an interesting story and I wanted to tell it, as much as I could without getting in trouble. That being the plan, a week before it was to be published and prior to a review by our newspaper’s lawyer, I was excited about how the story read and looked. We had a ton of information about the case. I’d conducted multiple interviews with Beckett at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre and had travelled to the rural Alberta community where he and his deceased wife, Laura Letts, used to live. I talked to neighbours and friends and co-workers. I read police and court documents relating to the case. I had been taking notes at pre-trial hearings for more than a year. I had some pretty compelling stuff. Then, five days prior to

BITS publication of Part 1, my editor got a call from the Kamloops Crown counsel office. They knew the story was coming — partially because an Alberta neighbour tipped them off to my being in town and partially because Beckett tried to pass me a note through a court sheriff that wound up being intercepted. The Crown threatened an injunction to halt the story. A hearing was scheduled for June 30 — the day Part 1 was slated to run. Our lawyer looked at the copy. He advised changes and they were made. Part 1 ran as scheduled. At the hearing, the Crown appeared upset that it had run. They asked that certain information not be published. We were not opposed. The judge granted the order. After that, our lawyer advised even more changes to an amended Part 3. Those were also made. We followed the publication ban to the letter and took addi-

tional steps on our own to water down information that it did not cover. When the heavily edited Part 2 came out on July 2, we received an email from the Crown advising there would be another hearing the following day. A heavily edited Part 3 was published on July 3 and, that morning, the Crown asked for an order that the second and third parts be removed from our website. Given the short notice, our lawyer was unavailable. The Crown asked that the stories be taken down on an interim basis until a full hearing could take place. Without a lawyer present, we did not get a say. The judge ordered the stories be removed from the web until the issue was sorted out. I know we were in compliance with the order. Above that, I believe nothing in the published stories would prejudice Beckett’s right to a fair trial. As it stands, there is no date set for his jury selection. The full hearing to decide whether the second and third parts can return to kamloopsthisweek.com is slated to take place on July 20 — nearly three weeks after they were initially published and posted. By then, it will be old news. But, we intend to stand up for the right to publish what we believe are stories that are in full compliance with the order set out by the judge. tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the key of D — for damaged blue piano ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thursday, July 2, was the day the music died in downtown Kamloops. Or, at least, it was the end for the little blue piano in front of the KippMallery Pharmacy at Victoria Street and Third Avenue. Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association, said the piano, which stood on the street corner for over a year, fell victim to a disagreement between a member of the public and the downtown Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) Team. Pooler said the piano vandal had a

speaker system plugged in at the corner of Third Avenue and Victoria Street near the piano. When some CAP team members went over and unplugged the speakers so they could speak to him, he took revenge on the instrument. “He pulled out like half the keys from the inside,” Pooler said. To make the point clear, the vandal also scrawled ‘NO MUSIC’ inside the piano lid. While passersby continued to plunk away at the keys on Friday, Pooler said the instrument is damaged beyond repair. The piano was a donation from Western Canada Theatre last year.

Members of the public were encouraged to play the instrument, regardless of skill level. Similar free-to-play pianos are also in place in some of Kelowna’s parks and in other cities worldwide. While she’s looking to have the busted instrument removed, Pooler said downtown’s street pianists will have a place to play again in the future. “Now we have to find a new one,” she said. “We’ll do it a different colour, maybe a different theme this time.” The man who damaged the piano walked away and was not apprehended. Kamloops RCMP Const. Jason Epp told KTW the department has not received a complaint connected to the act of vandalism. The blue piano that has become a fixture outside Kipp Mallory pharmacy in downtown Kamloops is, apparently, not music to all ears. The piano that anybody can play at the corner of Victoria Street and Third Street was vandalized last week, with “No Music” spraypainted on it and a number of hammers ripped from the inside.

RIVERDOGS FALL SHORT

The Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs will have to wait another year to hoist the Daley and Company Canada Day Classic trophy. Kamloops finished the round-robin 2-2 and placed third in its division, setting up a thirdplace versus third-place divisional crossover matchup against Calgary on Sunday at Norbrock Stadium. Calgary trounced the home team 19-0. In the tournament final, the Spruce Grove Sox earned a 5-4 victory over Ridge Meadows in dramatic fashion, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The RiverDogs won the tournament in its inaugural year, 2001, and have not claimed gold since. In this photo, Riley Jepson of the RiverDogs looks to tag out a Sherwood Park baserunner on Friday.

I wasn’t even sure if I was going to return to the sport.” Frizell went home to Perth to be with her family, putting on ice her track-and-field career, wondering if her time in Kamloops had come to an end. “It took a really long time to figure myself out and basically come to the realization that I can’t help my mom,” she said. “There’s nothing that I can do to make it better. “The only thing that I can do is do what she loved for me to do — and that was track. I had to refocus and do it for her and do it for myself.” Frizell came to Kamloops eight years ago to train with worldrenowned throws coach Anatoliy

Bondarchuk, who quickly propelled his new pupil to international-level standards. After soul-searching in Perth and deciding she would return to the River City to chase her Olympic dream, Frizell also opted to change coaches, acquiring the services of Derek Evely. Another poor finish on the international stage — placing 16th at the 2013 world championships in Moscow — had been a tough pill to swallow. Frizell began training with Evely in Pinantan in the fall of 2013 and her fortune changed in a big way last year. The powerful hammer thrower established the female Canadian record in May of 2014 with a heave of 75.73 metres — her current personal-best toss.

One month later, she successfully defended her title at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Moncton, bettering her own meet record with a fling of 73.78 metres. Then, in July of 2014, Frizell snagged her second consecutive gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, throwing 71.97 metres — another meet record — to secure first place and earn the right to carry the Maple Leaf at the closing ceremony in Glasgow. The Frizell hardware collection grew last weekend at the national championships in Edmonton, where the former University of Georgia athlete claimed her third straight Canadian crown with a throw of 70.97 metres.

Lauren Stuart of the Kamloops Track and Field Club won silver with a throw of 66.07 metres and Heather Steacy, who trains with Frizell and Evely in Pinantan, launched the hammer 65.44 metres to win bronze. The upcoming Pan Am Games will provide Frizell with a chance to improve on her second-place finish at the same event in 2011, when a 70.11-metre throw was good enough for silver in Guadalajara, Mexico. Frizell’s mom was moved into a care facility after the aneurysm and is no longer able to attend meets to watch her daughter throw. “She’s never far from my mind at competitions,” Frizell said, fighting off tears. “It’s a hard one because mom has been there since Day 1 as a supporter of me and taking me to track meets when I was younger and coming to world championships and the Oympics. “The one thing that I do have with her is I’m able to speak with her. She’s able to talk on the phone. She has her good days and her bad days. She knows who I am and she knows who my dad is and she knows people from the past.” The news of Darlene’s aneurysm came three years after Frizell’s father, Ken, was diag-

nosed with Lyme disease. “He was actually the sick one then,” Frizell said. “Mom wasn’t really sure if she could make world championships in 2009 because my dad was bleeding from the inside out.” Ken has been on medication since 2010 and is in stable condition, but he is unable to travel long distances to cheer on his daughter. The Pan American Games will run from July 10 to July 26 in Toronto. Ken will be in attendance. “This is the first time my dad is going to see me compete internationally,” Frizell said. “It’s a really big deal for him.” The Pan Am Games are the next stepping stone on Frizell’s path to Rio 2016. “Four years ago, I came back with a silver medal from Pan Ams and that’s not something I want to do this time,” she said. “I want to be able to execute on an international stage for my country. I’m excited to go out there and give Canada what it wants — it wants a gold medal.” After the Pan Am Games,

Frizell will switch focus to the world championships in August in Beijing before she aims to achieve the ultimate catharsis — a podium finish in Rio. Frizell placed 33rd at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Three years ago at the Games in London, a computer glitch rendered Frizell’s first and best throw null and void. She could not recover from the mishap and failed to reach the final. “Rio is my ultimate goal and that’s definitely at the forefront of everything I’m doing,” said Frizell, who is among the top-five ranked hammer throwers on the planet. “Even this year, I really want to get out there at world championships and perform the way I have been performing and get into the finals and say, ‘Look, girls, this Canadian bitch is here to stay. So, fear me.”

Super Suttie

Taryn Suttie won gold in shot put at the national track and field championships in Edmonton on the weekend with a throw of 16.88 metres. Suttie is from Hanley, Sask., but has trained in Kamloops since 2011, first under Bondarchuk before transitioning to new coach Justin Rodhe in August.

expand on why. But, perfect or not, Chadwick said the trip to the Lower Mainland was worth it, if only to be among the fans cheering the Americans to victory. An American himself, Chadwick was there to watch as his daughter’s team avenged the U.S.’s loss to Japan in the final of the 2011 World Cup. The Americans also defeated Japan for gold at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London. “I just sit back and watch and enjoy,” Chadwick said of watching his daughter. Leroux’s story is one that has often found its way into the media north of the border. Born in Vancouver, she was raised Canadian and even played for the country before making the switch to the U.S. as she neared the end of her teenage years. She is a decorated soccer player, having played in 75 international caps, tallying 35 goals. She is the U.S.’s alltime leading goal scorer in under-20 World Cup play with 10 goals and is also the all-time leader in goals for the under-20 women’s national team, with 30 in 36 matches.

She also starred for four years in college with the UCLA Bruins. But, choosing the Stars and Stripes over the Maple Leaf has led to some unpleasant moments for Leroux in her native country. She was booed in a

2013 match in Toronto and has endured racial abuse from Canadian supporters. All those moments were behind her, though, as she suited up for the Americans at Canada’s World Cup. And, whether

Canadians like her decision or not, Leroux now has a World Cup and an Olympic gold medal in her trophy case. “We are World Champions!” Leroux tweeted Sunday night. “It doesn’t get any better than this.”

As far as proud moments go, Sunday was a big day for Ray Chadwick. As his daughter, Sydney Leroux, and the United States women’s national team strolled to a 5-2 victory over Japan in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup final, Chadwick was among the 53,000 fans packed into Vancouver’s BC Place. “I just remember her saying things to that point — that she wanted to be one of the greatest soccer players in the world, she wanted to play for the U.S., and those goals have been achieved,” said Chadwick, who coaches the Kamloops Sun Devils as well as the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack baseball teams. “When you watch her and her team hoist up one of the biggest trophies in the soccer world, those goals have been achieved. She has been talking about it since she was a kid and there it was.” It was a proud moment but, granted, it wasn’t perfect. Leroux didn’t draw into the match — the U.S.’s seventh of the tournament — instead cheering from the sidelines. She hit the pitch four times in the tournament, drawing an assist and five fouls in 182 minutes of play. The two also didn’t talk after. Chadwick said he’s not a big-crowd person and high-tailed it out of the stadium packed with American fans following the victory. And, it’s no secret Leroux and Chadwick haven’t been on speaking terms. “I don’t talk to him,” the forward told the Los Angeles Times last month, declining to

Smiling Hank sinks Leos LISA WALLACE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks are a different team with a different attitude in 2015. For the first time in their short franchise history, the Redblacks have won two straight games after a 27-16 victory against the B.C. Lions on Saturday night. Last year, it took Ottawa (2-0) 13 games before it won two games and that’s all it managed for the season. “We don’t even remember what happened last year,’’ said Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris, who has earned the moniker Smiling Hank, thanks to his toothy grin. “We’ve added some great pieces in the right places. We all believe in each other in this locker room and now we’re making the plays that help stack on top of that and the potential and the belief in here is sky high and the confidence is sky high.’’ Burris was a big part of the victory — throwing three touchdowns and finishing the game completing 23-of-29 pass attempts for 290 yards and one interception. A strong second half was the difference for the Redblacks as they outscored the Lions (0-1) 17-9 in the final two quarters in front of 24,376 fans at TD Place. An 11-yard TD pass to Ernest Jackson and a 30-yard touchdown pass to Greg Ellingson helped sparked the offence. Delbert Alvarado also connected on a 28-yard field goal. “We talked at half time that belief was a big part of this thing and that you believe that we’re going to find a way to get it done and that the guys

are going to step up and make the plays,’’ said Ottawa coach Rick Campbell. “Our guys have bought into that.’’ Receiver Brad Sinopoli stepped up for the Redblacks with nine carries for 99 yards. Sinopoli was a quarterback at the University of Ottawa during his university football career and Saturday’s win was a special return. Sinopoli scored the first touchdown of the game on a seven-yard pass late in the second quarter and was instrumental in getting the Redblacks into field goal range in the dying seconds of the first half to take a 10-7 lead into the locker room. “It was incredible,’’ said Sinopoli. “The crowd, the atmosphere, it was awesome.’’ The Lions, playing their first game of the season, had their opportunities, but were unable

to take advantage. Twice in the first half, B.C. was forced to settle for field goals when they were in touchdown range. Richie Leone gave the Lions a 6-0 lead on 11 and 13-yard field goals. B.C. quarterback Travis Lulay was playing his first regular season game since injuring his shoulder in Ottawa last September. He was 18-of-32 on his pass attempts for 246 yards, one touchdown and an interception. “We did a lot of good things, especially early in this game, but we didn’t finish those drives,’’ said Lulay. “That’s where we need to be better.’’ The Lions took the lead when Lulay connected with Austin Collie for a 26-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to make it 16-13. “We’ve got to finish a game,’’ said B.C. coach Jeff Tedford, who was making his CFL head coaching debut. “We’ve got to give them credit, they deserved to win. They played better than we did. It’s everybody’s responsibility — the coaches, players, everyone.’’ The Redblacks are back in action Thursday as they head to Edmonton, while B.C. hosts Saskatchewan on Friday. Notes: Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips left the game with a hamstring injury, but it’s unclear how severe the injury is.

Lloyd propels U.S. to World Cup win JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Carli Lloyd caught herself daydreaming before the Women’s World Cup. In between sprints on an empty practice field, she envisioned scoring four goals in the final. Three turned out to be more than enough. Lloyd put an exclamation point on her country’s stunning four-goal barrage in the opening 16 minutes with an audacious hat-trick strike from the halfway line as the United States demolished Japan 5-2 in Sunday’s final for its record third title and first since 1999. “You can be physically strong, you can have all the tools out there, but if your mental state isn’t good enough you can’t bring yourself to bigger and better things,” said Lloyd. “I was on a mission today.” The American captain scored off a corner kick in the third minute and a free kick in the fifth before lobbing a ball over Japanese goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori in the 16th minute from more than 50 yards out with the score already 3-0 for the first hat trick in a Women’s World Cup final. “I’ve dreamed of scoring

a shot like that,” said Lloyd, who won the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player. “When you’re feeling good mentally, physically, those plays just are instincts and it just happens. I feel like I blacked out the first 30 minutes or so in that game. “It’s just crazy. Unbelievable.” Lauren Holiday and Tobin Heath had the other goals for the Americans. Julie Johnston put a ball in her own net, while Yuki Ogimi had the other goal for Japan, which won its only World Cup by beating the U.S. on penalties four years ago. Lloyd helped get a measure of revenge after that defeat by scoring two goals in the Americans’ 2012 Olympic final victory over Japan and went one better on Sunday. “Miss Lloyd, she always does this to us,” Japanese head coach Norio Sasaki said through a translator. “We are a bit embarrassed, but she’s an excellent player.” The U.S. had a stuttering start to the tournament, but steadily improved once the knockout round began and put it all together in the final. “I just knew that the players could deliver,” said U.S. head coach Jill Ellis. “To me, it’s no surprise. As the teams get harder and the pressure gets bigger, this team gets

better because that’s what they’re about.” In front of a raucous proAmerican crowd of 53,341 at B.C. Place Stadium that included U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, Lloyd opened the scoring on a nicely worked corner kick, guiding home Megan Rapinoe’s low drive after making a strong run to the penalty spot. Lloyd then made it 2-0 with her fifth of the tournament just two minutes later by poking home Holiday’s free kick in a chaotic penalty area. “I’ve dedicated my whole life to this and everything comes second,” said Lloyd. “But I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Holiday went from provider to scorer in the 14th minute, jumping on a terrible mistake by defender Azusa Iwashimizu to volley a shot past a helpless Kaihori. Lloyd then completed her hat trick two minutes after that on a goal that will be replayed over and over. She picked up the ball in her own territory and moved towards half before unleashing a shot toward goal. Kaihori stumbled as she tracked back and could only watch as the ball went off her hand, off the post and in. “There’s something different in the air within our team

these last few days,” said Lloyd. “There was no hesitation, there was no doubt. We were just super excited, super anxious to start this game and to play it. We knew if we took it to Japan they would get nervous on the pitch.” Japan got one back in the 27th minute when Ogimi collected a ball in front of Hope Solo and beat the U.S. ‘keeper with a high shot. The goal was the first conceded by the Americans since their opening game, a span of 540 minutes. Japan cut the lead to 4-2 in the 52nd minute when Johnston accidentally headed a free kick into her own goal, but Heath got that one back just two minutes later on another U.S. corner that killed any chance of a comeback. “I don’t think it’s entirely sunk in,” said Lloyd. “It’s a surreal moment. It’s been amazing. We just wrote history today and brought this World Cup trophy home.” NOTES: Canadian defender Kadeisha Buchanan was named the top young player at the tournament. . . . American striker Abby Wambach — a member of the national team for 15 years — had a reduced role in her final World Cup, but came on in the 79th minute to a rousing ovation.

Pospisil advances at Wimbeldon THE CANADIAN PRESS

LONDON — Unseeded Canadian Vasek Pospisil rallied for a five-set victory over Viktor Troicki yesterday to reach the Wimbledon singles quarter-finals for the first time in his career. Pospisil needed two hours 39 minutes to complete the 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 win over the No. 22 seed from Serbia. The 25-year-old from Vancouver will play Britain’s Andy Murray in the next round. Murray needed just more than three hours to defeat Croatia’s Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (7), 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Later yesterday, Pospisil and American partner Jack Sock — the defending men’s doubles champions — lost their thirdround match against

Australia’s John Peers and Britain’s Jamie Murray. It was another marathon for Pospisil, as he and Sock came back from two sets down before losing 6-3, 7-6 (6), 6-7(5), 3-6, 8-6 in a match that lasted three hours 19 minutes. Andy Murray has beaten Pospisil in hard-surface tournaments at Rotterdam and Indian Wells this season, but said he is expecting a tougher challenge from Pospisil on grass. Murray added he hopes the fatigue factor comes into play, with Pospisil coming off two five-set matches in one day. “He had a close one with (James) Ward (third round) and after today maybe he’s a bit tired. But he will be confident after coming from two sets down

and feeling good about his game,” Murray said. “He has a game which suits grass and he likes to come to the net.” Pospisil, the world No. 56, had never previously been past the second round in singles play at the All England Club. His previous best singles showing at a Grand Slam event was a thirdround appearance at the Australian Open (2014, 2015). He had 12 aces and four breaks of serve from eight chances. He had a 58-51 edge in winners in the first career meeting between the pair. He’s hoping to become just the third Canadian to reach the men’s singles semifinals at Wimbledon. The others are Robert Powell (1908) and Milos Raonic (2014).

Pospisil, who reached a career-high No. 25 in the singles rankings last year, turned pro in 2007 and is still looking for his first ATP title. He made it to the final at last year’s Citi Open in Washington before falling to Raonic. Earlier yesterday, the 11th-seeded duo of Daniel Nestor of Toronto and India’s Leander Paes dropped a 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 2-6, 6-2 third-round decision to eighth-seeded Alexander Peya of Austria and Bruno Soares of Brazil. Nestor is also playing in the mixed doubles competition with Kristina Mladenovic of France. The eighthseeded team received a first-round bye and will take on Ken Skupski and Johanna Konta of Britain in the second round.

HERDMAN RECALLS WORLD CUP’S BEST TORONTO — As the Women’s World Cup wound down, Canadian coach John Herdman pointed to his team’s very first game when asked about his favourite memories from the tournament. “I do have some big moments,” he said in an interview. The biggest is Herdman’s joyful embrace with Christine Sinclair after the Canadian captain scored on a stoppage-time penalty for a 1-0 win over China in the tournament opener June 6. “The memory that I’ve worked hard for and I’ll carry forever now is the celebration with Sinclair the opening game,” he said. “I mean the pressure on us in that game and for her to do what she did. And then she called my name and ran towards us. “She’s one of the greatest women I’ve ever met. And to have someone in that moment want to share that with you and then the players was just priceless. Priceless.” After scoring, Sinclair turned and raced toward the Canadian bench at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium. She pointed at a jubilant Herdman and the two embraced on the sidelines, only to be swallowed up by a mob of teammates. It was Sinclair’s 154th international goal. Herdman also pointed to the 1-1 tie against the Netherlands two games later when 20-year-old midfielder Ashley Lawrence scored in the 10th minute. It was her first goal at the senior level. “We showed (the team) some stuff on England (at the) 1990 (World Cup) and how they were getting criticized for their opening games being bland and drab. And we talked about a young Paul Gascoigne stepping up . . . and being a top player,” Herdman said. “Young Ashley Lawrence responded and she came to the bench and she did the England celebration, the 1990 World Cup celebration. It was bloody brilliant.” – The Canadian Press

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z LESLIE (LES) SOUTHWELL October 18, 1923 – June 23, 2015 Les was born in Toronto, Ontario, to Ellen and Arthur Southwell. Second eldest of four boys, Les joined the RCAF as a bombardier and served overseas during WWII. After the war, he returned to Canada and attended the Northern College of Mining in Ontario. Les spent the summer canoeing the wild lakes of northern Ontario, searching for mineral deposits for Bechtel. In the early 1950’s, Les came to BC to continue his adventures. On a return trip to Toronto, he met the love of his life, Freda, and they married in Kamloops in 1955. Together they raised their children in Prince George and Kamloops, where Dad worked for Westcoast Energy for many years as a pipeline surveyor. Dad finished his career as Construction Chief Inspector for the Vancouver Island Pipeline Project. Many folks in Kamloops have been touched by Dad’s sweet nature and friendly demeanour, as he was a regular at local coffee shops and was known to enjoy a spin or two at the slot machines! Predeceased by his wife of 45 years, Freda, and his brother Edward (Ted), Les is survived by his children: Laurie (Rick) Wilson, Cathy Southwell (John Hogg), Paul (Cindy) Southwell, Robert (Bev) Southwell and Janet (Bruno) Delesalle, plus eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Joe and Fred Southwell. The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Doug Hamilton, “a fine gentleman”, Dr. De Wet and the Kamloops Hospice Society. A family gathering to celebrate Dad’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, and in recognition of the excellent care Dad received, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Society.

BRUCE MELVILLE 1956 – 2015

It is with aching hearts that the Melville Family announces the sudden death of Bruce Roy Melville on June 25, 2015. Bruce was born in Kitimat, BC on July 24, 1956 where he received all his schooling before moving with his family to Salmon Arm, BC. He worked for BC Hydro and Afton Mines before moving to Tumbler Ridge to work for Teck Corp in the coal mines. Bruce worked his way from ore truck driver to head of mine safety for Western Canadian Coal. He taught first aid and mine rescue to his men, winning many awards at various mine competitions. Bruce retired to Kamloops to be closer to his family and in doing so, enjoyed his dogs, photography, golf and traveling south in the winter. Bruce is survived by his parents Grace and Wally Melville of Kamloops, his brother Dave (Sue), sister Aleda (Roy), and a beloved, younger sister Joan. He also leaves to mourn his nieces Desiree, Angela and Layla, and nephews Bobby and Shawn. He also has a large extended family that will miss him greatly. A Celebration of Life will take place in the Bistro Room on the 2nd Floor at Gemstone Care Centre at 1955 Tranquille Road in Kamloops, on July 18, 2015 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, Bruce would have appreciated any donations to the SPCA. Rest in peace Bruce. We will always remember you.

ROSS WILLIAM TEGART It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ross William Tegart on the morning of Sunday, June 28th, 2015 at 65 years of age. He was grateful to spend his last month enjoying his family, his garden and the comfort of his home. He is survived by his loving wife Marilyn; children Stanley, Sophia, Rosilyn, and Maymie; mother Myrtle; brothers Ian (Margaretanne) and Neil (Beverley); three step-siblings, and many nieces and nephews. You may remember Ross as the Foursquare Church Pastor or the singing Santa bus driver who handed out “reindeer poop”. He was a man who was never afraid to break into song in public places, and who took every opportunity to lovingly embarrass his children. His humour and wit will be greatly missed. A service will be held Saturday, July 11th, 2015 at 2:00 pm at the Summit Drive Church (1975 Summit Drive). “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

JIMMY RICHARD PRESCOTT Jim Prescott of Chase, BC passed away at the Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Center on June 28, 2015. He was born October 16, 1932 in Roy, Montana to Jerry and Mary (Siroky) Prescott. His family moved to the Gallatin Valley and Belgrade, Montana in 1936 where they were involved in the farming and ranching business raising registered Hereford cattle. Jim married Joanne Delano in 1953 at Bozeman, Montana. In 1964 Jim and his family moved to Cowley, Alberta and in the foothills continued raising Hereford cattle and selling bulls across southern Alberta. In 1968 he and his family carried on this operation, after moving to BC and purchasing the China Valley Ranch and a home and acreage on VLA and Chase Creek. After selling their farm and ranch they moved into Chase. Jim built and remodeled many homes in the area including theirs and a 4-plex which they rented out. He also built furniture as a hobby including bedroom suites for family. He and Joanne managed an apartment block in Kamloops for four years. After heart surgery they moved back home where he could spend more time with his true passion of fishing. He was an ardent fly fisherman, spending the winter months tying flies and testing them on the water in the area as many days of the week as his health allowed. He enjoyed nothing more than passing this tradition and knowledge on to his family and friends, enjoying every trip he made when they could accompany him. Jim looked forward to his yearly camping trip to the Kootenays with his sons and grandsons, planning and shopping for weeks ahead. For years he returned to Roy, Montana to take his Dad on their yearly fishing/camping trip. He was also able to enjoy many camping trips locally with family, where he could filet their catch and have a nice fish fry at the end of the day. Jim was a proud supporter of his grandkids’ various sports events, seldom missing a baseball, soccer, hockey game or dance recital. Jim is survived by his wife Joanne of nearly 62 years, sons Mike, Jerry (Velda), Tom, daughter Colleen (Ted) Patterson, daughter-in-law, Karen Prescott, ten grandchildren, six greatgranddaughters and one brother Milton (Jackie) Prescott of Glendive, Montana. He was preceded in death by his oldest son Jim Prescott, grandson Jaye Prescott, his parents, two sisters Emma Hoffman and Mary Jane Baker, brother Robert Prescott and step-brother Joe Soushek. The family wishes to thank Dr. Wynne, staff and care givers at Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre for their compassionate and loving care given to Jim and his family the past two years. In respect of Jim’s wishes there will be no funeral services, he would rather you just took someone fishing. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, the Chase Lions Club or a charity of your choice.

NATIONAL NEWS

Canada, Japan at odds over B.C. timber MIKE BLANCHFIELD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — One of Canada’s most protected industries — British Columbia timber — has been targeted by Japan in the massive TransPacific Partnership (TPP) trade talks, The Canadian Press has learned. Japan is pushing Canada to eliminate or modify the controls it imposes on B.C. log exports — a practice that is heavily restricted by the federal and provincial governments

and which drives up their cost to foreign buyers. Details of the forestry impasse with Japan are contained in documents from Canada’s Foreign Affairs department that are marked “secret’’ and that have been obtained by The Canadian Press. The revelation comes as Canada continues to face pressure from another TPP country — the United States — which has taken aim at the coveted supply-management system that protects the country’s dairy

and poultry farmers. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said Canada would protect its supplymanagement system while pushing ahead with the TPP because he sees that as vital for the country’s future economic health. With the October election looming, the trade impasses have implications for Harper. He has invested much political capital in various free-trade talks — none bigger than the TPP — as he positions himself as the most reliable steward of

the Canadian economy. But, Canada has another fight on its hands with Japan over B.C. forestry as it tries to break down trade barriers in that sector in Asia. “Canada is pursuing full tariff elimination for the forestry sector — as you know, tariffs in Malaysia are as high as 40 per cent, as high as 31 per cent in Vietnam and as high as 10 per cent in Japan,’’ says the April briefing note, prepared for a meeting of senior federal trade officials in Ottawa and their provincial counterparts in B.C. The memo says talks with Malaysia and Vietnam are progressing well. Not so with Japan, Canada’s largest Asian trading partner. “Discussions with Japan are ongoing, but have been difficult. Japan has very clearly linked the elimination of forestry tariffs to B.C. eliminating or significantly modifying log-

export controls,’’ the memo says. “Our efforts to delink the two continue, but are becoming increasingly difficult.’’ B.C. exports a small percentage of its logs to foreign markets, including Japan, but must satisfy some strict provincial and federal requirements. According to one study last year by the Fraser Institute, the result of that protection scheme is that in 2011, logs sold for $74 per cubic metre on the Vancouver Log Market, while the average price for exports hovered around $108. “Although free trade in logs in not the preferred policy from a B.C. perspective, it certainly is from a global perspective,’’ says the institute’s June 2014 report on B.C. log policy. “Canada is currently in talks to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which includes Japan,’’ the

report adds. “It is possible that removing all restrictions on log exports as part of a trade agreement could leverage concessions of a similar size that would benefit British Columbia and Canada.’’ The report proved prescient, given what is contained in the government’s own April memo, which makes clear there is serious negotiating taking place between Japan and Canada on forestry issues. “There have been some suggestions from your officials that Canada settle for no tariff reductions from Japan on forestry products in order to protect our log export control regime,’’ the memo says. “This is not an acceptable outcome for Canada; it would put our competitors at a permanent advantage in the Japanese market for one of our primary exports.’’

A government spokesman declined comment on what has happened at the negotiating table since April. With the U.S. Congress recently granting President Barack Obama fasttrack authority to negotiate the TPP, there is widespread speculation the deal could be finalized as early as August. However, the deal will have serious domestic political implications for Harper as he seeks his fourth term. Supply management in sacrosanct in Ontario and Quebec, as is the forestry sector in B.C. The 12 countries in the TPP, including Canada, are Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the U.S. and Vietnam, and they represent 792 million people with a combined GDP of $28.1 trillion.

MORE THAN A PAINTING ‘Someone they know or someone they really care about’

kamloopsthisweek.com | 778-471-7533

William Dallimore’s airbrushed portraits are on display at the Old Courthouse Gallery starting July 9. ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

here’s always a moment, just before he reveals a portrait for the first time, when William Dallimore gets a little bit nervous. “There’s always that thought just before I hand it over — I’m all nerves and butterflies,” he said. “Because obviously to them it’s more than a painting, it’s someone they know or someone they really care about or someone they have cared a lot about.” It was the same last week, when the Sun Peaks-based artist showed off one of his latest works. But, this time around there was a twist: Dallimore was showing off a portrait of 98.3 CIFM radio hosts Stan and Hank, during their morning show. The idea to tackle a painting of Stan and Hank came as Dallimore was trying to come up with an idea for a TV spot he’d been given for donating art to CFJC’s annual television auction.

SUN PEAKS-BASED PORTRAIT ARTIST TO HOST FIRST SOLO SHOW AT OLD COURTHOUSE BEGINNING ON THURSDAY “The best idea I came up with was a startto-finish portrait, so each time I was partway through I’d take another photo of the portrait so you could see how it progresses,” he said. “And I wanted to pick someone who is wellknown in Kamloops.” Thankfully for his nerves, the two hosts — whose portrait will be featured in Dallimore’s first solo show at the at the Old Courthouse gallery, 7 Seymour St. West, from July 9 to Aug. 1 — had a good reaction. “The guys were pretty stoked on it. I think they felt I did them justice. In fact, I think they felt I made them look a bit better than they thought they were,” Dallimore joked. Dallimore’s paintings, about a dozen of which will be on display at his show, are creating using an airbrush, rather than typical paintbrushes. To create his portraits Dallimore starts with a reference photo which he projects onto a canvas

in order to mark out key features. The rest of the work is freehand. It’s a technique the Welsh-born artist picked up as a teen from his older brother, an artist in his own right. All it took was one demonstration, and he was hooked. “It just felt like the right thing,” he said. “Paintbrushes, I can use them, but I can’t get the grades and differences in colours that I really like on canvas. The airbrush is in a total league of its own.” Other portraits in the show include members of Dallimore’s family and commissions from private clients. Besides portraits, Dallimore also paints a variety of other subjects, not necessarily on canvas. Visitors to Erwin’s Bakery will also be familiar with his work — the caterpillar-like creature painted on the bakery’s vents is one of his creations.

Helping Daytona get back on track Chevrolet becomes third major sponsor of Daytona Rising, joining Toyota and Florida Hospital THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Chevrolet is the latest sponsor of Daytona International Speedway’s redevelopment project. The American automaker announced a multi-year deal last week to become one of five major sponsors of Daytona Rising, the $400 million facelift taking place at NASCAR’s most famous track. Chevrolet will have naming rights to one of five fan injectors at Daytona. Toyota and Florida Hospital already agreed to sponsor two injectors, leaving two naming-rights deals to be struck before the makeover is complete in January. The redesigned entry will include more than 20,000 square feet of new vehicle displays for Chevy as well as a fan engagement experience that spans four concourse levels. Chevrolet also will have branding rights for one of the “neighbourhoods’’ located near its injector. Each football field-sized neighbourhood will feature retail and dining areas. When finished, Daytona Rising will make the speedway the first motorsports stadium with premium amenities and attractions. “Chevrolet has been an integral part of the ISC family for many years and we look forward to

race tracks. “As part of their activation at Daytona Rising and other ISC facilities, Chevrolet will represent its iconic automotive brand through interactive experi-

ences with fans.’’ Chevrolet also will serve as an official partner of the Daytona 500, receiving pace car rights in select years. “Chevrolet’s commit-

ment to racing originated more than a century ago with Louis Chevrolet and remains strong today as we solidify our presence’’ at Daytona, said Alan Batey, president General Motors

North America. “We look forward to enhancing the experience for race fans here in Daytona with the new Chevrolet injector entrance and neighbourhood.’’

Hyundai to replace GM as NFL’s auto sponsor THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — The National Football League is getting a new official automotive sponsor: Hyundai. The Korean automaker announced the sponsorship deal last week, replacing General Motors Co. The deal gives Hyundai the ability to use NFL trademarks in its marketing and access to big events year-round such as the Super Bowl, playoffs and the widely watched draft of college players. Hyundai Motor Co. wouldn’t disclose how much it’s paying, but it’s likely close to what GM spent, about $25 million per year. “There is no bet-

ter venue to reach consumers,’’ Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. The automaker said the deal gives it a chance to show its products to the NFL’s 188 million fans. Hyundai will launch its sponsorship during NFL kickoff activities on Sept. 10. General Motors’ GMC brand had been an official NFL sponsor, but the company confirmed that it has decided not to renew the deal. “We value our relationship with the NFL and its fans, but have decided to focus our sponsorship resources in other areas in the future,’’ GM said in a statement.

TORONTO — DesRosiers Automotive Consultants says sales of new vehicles edged 1.2 per cent higher last month compared with a year ago, making it the best June on record. Canadians bought 177,857 new cars and light trucks last month — up from 175,678 in June 2014. The record sales were driven primarily by demand for light trucks, which accelerated by 11.5 per cent to 109,400, up from 98,126 in June of last year. Meanwhile, sales of pas-

turned into a veritable feast in June,’’ the company said in a news release. In a report earlier this month, Scotiabank analyst Carlos Gomes said lower gasoline prices have fuelled sales of luxury SUVs this year. Gomes says luxury vehicles now make up more than 10 per cent of new vehicle sales in Canada. In British Columbia, which he dubs “Canada’s luxury leader,’’ sales of high-end vehicles comprise 15 per cent of the overall market. “Purchases are being driven by rising household wealth — the key driver of the luxury auto market — which

is being buoyed by strong equity market performances across much of the globe and ongoing house price appreciation,’’ said Gomes. Although baby boomers have been the key drivers of the luxury auto market, Gomes says upscale automakers are increasingly striving to attract younger buyers by offering smaller-sized, more affordable high-end vehicles. “This development will be key going forward, as growth in the 30-49 year old Canadian population will begin to exceed the 50-69 year old cohort by 2017,’’ Gomes said.

Alfa Romeo unveils Giulia, automaker’s new flagship sedan ARESE, Italy — Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne unveiled last week the longawaited Alfa Romeo Giulia, a sedan meant to power the premium sports car brand’s return to the United States. Using the Giulia as flagship model, Marchionne aims to boost brand sales to 400,000 a year from 2018, from below 68,000 last year. Marchionne has missed targets on relaunching the 110-year-old brand several times since becoming Fiat CEO in 2004,

senger cars slipped 11.7 per cent to 68,457 from the 77,552 cars Canadians bought a year ago. Fiat Chrysler claimed top spot with 27,217 vehicles sold, while Ford came in second place at 26,776 vehicles. General Motors trailed in third, selling 24,226 new vehicles in June. DesRosiers said luxury brands experienced the highest year-over-year growth, led by Land Rover at 28.2 per cent, Acura at 27.6 per cent, Porsche at 25.9 per cent and Lexus at 25.8 per cent. “The ongoing gains being enjoyed by luxury manufacturers in the Canadian market

but he said the merger last year of Fiat with Chrysler has provided the necessary financial resources, technical capability and global distribution network. “Do I think it improves FCA’s chances going forward? Yes, period,” Marchionne told reporters, using the short name for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. “It was part of the plan.’’ But he said the brand’s relaunch has no bearing on his drive for further consolidation in the automotive industry. The CEO has long argued the industry needs more mergers to make better returns. General Motors has said it is not interested in a merger with Fiat Chrysler, leading to speculation that Marchionne might

and the crowded premium brand field. Alfa will be duking it out with BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar, all of which have long been present in the big markets like the United States. — The Associated Press
