Council bans use of cosmetic pesticides ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Beginning next year, Kamloops residents won’t be able to use pesticides on their lawns, flowers or ornamental shrubs and trees. In a 5-4 vote following two-and-a-half hours of debate, city council on Tuesday opted to ban the residential use of cosmetic pesticides. The new ban won’t affect commercial properties or, for the moment, the city itself, nor will it apply to vegetable gardens or fruit trees. As expected, Arjun Singh cast the deciding vote for the ban, along with Donovan Cavers, Denis Walsh, Dieter Dudy and Tina Lange, who proposed the motion. Opposed were Ken Christian, Marg Spina, Pat Wallace and Mayor Peter Milobar. Singh, who held off on stating a position on the ban as it was debated around the city during the past

SAY BYE TO THE ‘CIDES WHAT IT MEANS: The use of pesticides within the City of Kamloops on residences will be prohibited as of Jan. 1, 2016.

WHAT IS EXEMPT? Pesticides can still be used on fruit trees and vegetable gardens.

WHO IS EXEMPT?: The bylaw does not apply to the City of Kamloops, whose staff will continue to use pesticides on playing fields, nor to commercial properties.

HOW ABOUT SALES?: The bylaw does not impact the ability of retailers within the City of Kamloops from selling products that are banned from being used under the bylaw.

ENFORCEMENT?: The bylaw is complaint-driven. The current bylaw, which limits pesticide application to licensed companies, was created in 2009 and has never resulted in a fine.

six weeks, said he is concerned about the potential health risks of pesticides and their ability to spread beyond the properties where they’re being applied. “The thing that really actually concerns me is the impact on vulnerable

populations,” he said, noting that includes residents who are pregnant or who have chemical sensitivities. Councillors who opposed a ban said it would be difficult or impossible to enforce and could lead to more untrained homeowners applying pesticides to their lawns since lawncare companies would no longer be allowed to do so. Milobar said the city has never issued a ticket for violating its previous restrictions — which required a licensed applicator to apply any pesticides — and would not have more success with its new ban. A follow-up motion by Singh that would have also banned the city from using cosmetic pesticides was tabled until October. Council did agree to pass an amendment to the ban from Cavers, which set the adoption date for the ban to Jan. 1, 2016. Otherwise, it would have gone into effect immediately.

Council can add living-wage rules to contracts While the city says it can’t control what outside service providers pay their workers, there is a step it could take in future contract negotiations: a living-wage policy. CAO David Trawin said the city does have the option to include living-wage requirements for contracted staff in tenders. Though it’s not a step Kamloops has ever taken, the City of Vancouver recently passed a

bill requiring all employees and contractors to earn a living wage. Trawin said that move — coupled with an ongoing strike at recycling processor Emterra Environment, which has disrupted curbside recycling pickup in Kamloops — could give the issue more prominence here. “Whether that happens in the future, whether that even happens with the new contract [for recycling processing] coming out

in September, that’s something we’ll have to wait and see,” Trawin said. Mayor Peter Milobar said his openness to living-wage policy would depend on what kind of contracts it was used, noting such a policy would come with a price tag. “It’s not as simple as one would think to do it and, ultimately, it comes to the conversation around requests for propos-

als and trying to get the lowest price possible for city contracts,” he said. “Ultimately, it’ll push back to the taxpayers.” According to Living Wage Canada, the living wage in Kamloops — the per hour wage needed to just get by for a family of four, with two parents working — was $18.34 last year. — Andrea Klassen

LOCAL NEWS PESTICIDE BAN

Will ‘backroom politics’ cost businesses? COUNCIL VOTE: ON WHETHER TO BAN THE RESIDENTIAL USE OF COSMETIC PESTICIDES

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of a Kamloops lawn-care company said a new ban on cosmetic pesticides ignores the wishes of the public in favour of “backroom politics.” City council voted 5-4 on Tuesday to prohibit homeowners from using pesticides on lawns, flowers and ornamental trees and shrubs. The ban doesn’t apply to vegetable gardens, fruit trees or commercial and city properties. Jacquie Doherty, owner of Grassroots Choice Lawn Care, called the decision “very upsetting” and said she expects to lay off some of her six staff members either this year or when the ban goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2016. Doherty said about 80 per cent of her clients are residential homeowners within Kamloops (her commercial

clients, and those in Sun Rivers and Rivershore, won’t be impacted by the ban). “I don’t know how our customers are going to handle it, if they’re going to cancel the service completely and do their own thing or if they’re still going to want us to fertilize. I can’t say,” she said. Terry Omrod of NutriLawn also expects to downsize one full-time and one part-time employee next year as a result of the ban. “We certainly do other things — turf management as far as aeration and

all those other things you might to do make your lawn healthier, but the weed-control portion, it will certainly have an effect on that and probably drop the business by 30, 40 per cent,” he said. Omrod said there are other products he could look at using instead of herbicides, but many aren’t cleared for use in B.C. as pesticides. Landowners with bug problems will be in a tougher spot. “It’s one thing to say that you should be able to live with a little bit of clover or

dandelion in your grass, and I can see that,” Omrod said. “But, when you have grubs or pinch bug or something eating your lawn and decimating it, then that’s another concern and there really isn’t a lot of options.” Doherty said she’s looked into using an iron-based alternative, but the advice she’s been given by others in the industry is to avoid it, due to its high cost and mediocre weed-killing results. Since the pesticides her company uses are still going to be available for sale on city shelves, she thinks making the switch would be a “tough sell” to customers. Both expect many of their clients will simply

apply pesticides on their own, when no one else is looking. Doherty had prominently campaigned against the ban, speaking at previous council meetings and setting up an online site that allowed hundreds of residents to send councillors email objecting to the new rules. Speaking to KTW yesterday, Doherty said she now feels her time was wasted. “This was backroom politics right from the start,” she said. “They were going to push this through in a week. “It came forward on, what, the 26th of May and it was going to be voted on the following week.

“They had every intention of pushing it through and they didn’t expect any backlash because it was going to happen so fast.” Coun. Tina Lange first proposed the pesticide ban at the end of May through a notice of motion. Rather than vote on the ban soon after, council ended up tabling the motion until this week to let the community weigh in — though Doherty doesn’t think those at city hall listened to what they were told. “The decision was made long ago and they only wasted our time because they had no intention of changing their position,” she said.

Frustration led to shotgun threat WIFE’S ALLEGED MISDIAGNOSIS BEHIND HUSBAND’S ANGER

TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

After his wife was left brain-damaged following an alleged misdiagnosis, a Kamloops man threatened to drive his truck through the front doors of Royal Inland Hospital armed with a shotgun. As a result, 77-yearold Marshal Duliba has been slapped with a firearms ban — despite never having been charged with a crime. Duliba was in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday for a prohibition hearing stemming from last year’s incident. Court heard a frustrated Duliba was speaking on the phone with a Service BC employee on Dec. 10 when he made a startling statement. “He said he would drive his vehicle through the front doors of the hospital to get the attention of Interior Health,” Kamloops RCMP Const. Charlene Gladue testified. “He said Interior Health had made an error in his wife’s diagnosis and her medica-

tion, which resulted in a worse illness. He wanted to get an answer and he wanted to get some attention to this matter.” Gladue said the threat brought about a strong response from police, who set up a perimeter around the hospital within minutes and also descended on Duliba’s Kemano Street home in North Kamloops. Court heard Duliba and his wife were home when police arrived. Investigators seized a double-barrel shotgun, two boxes of ammunition and a pellet gun. Duliba said his wife entered RIH in May 2012 with a minor ailment. “She walked into the hospital with a skin infection on her foot,” he said. “Three days later, they gave her medication that made her stop breathing. She just about died. They put her in ICU for three weeks, then 11-anda-half months in the hospital, eight months in Ponderosa.

“Finally, I had to install a wheelchair lift so she could come home to the house. I had to hire a care worker.” Duliba admitted he was fuming when speaking to the Service BC worker, but maintained there was never a threat. “Was it a threat or was it a question?” he asked. “I asked about driving my truck in to the hospital. Would they notice if I did that? It was a question, but everyone takes it as a threat. “It’s strictly the brain damage when they gave her those three medications at the hospital. “So, you wonder why I got frustrated? Maybe a person says things they don’t really mean. “I guess they’re doing their jobs, but I don’t think it’s necessary to send all these cops down to my house and make my neighbours think I’m destroying the neighbourhood.” While Duliba was

not charged with any criminal offences stemming from the events of Dec. 10, the Crown was seeking a firearms ban of three to five years. Duliba wanted his shotgun returned, noting it is worth $1,000 and he would like to sell it to help pay for his wife’s care bills. He still owes $8,000 for care his wife received at Ponderosa Lodge — a bill he refuses on principle to pay. “I said, ‘I have to pay for this after what you did at the hospital, to make her recover?’” Duliba said. “They said, ‘Too bad, so sad — you pay it.’ “I’m so frustrated with everything. Interior Health is good for nothing. They said, ‘We’ll see to it that it

said. “It covers the team when they enter so no one gets shot.” Inside, Savage said, police found the 70-year-old man suffering from a respiratory issue. He was taken to hospital. Savage said no armed men were found inside the home and that police are not looking for any suspects. The man was hallucinating as a result of a medical condition. “It’s one of those ones where you kind of question the validity of it,” he said. “But, until we can prove otherwise, we need to take him at his word.” Traffic in the 200-block of McGill Road was closed for about 45 minutes.

doesn’t happen to anybody else.’ “I said, ‘Yeah, that helps me a heck of a lot.’ “I just want to get my shotgun back so it’s not another $1,000 wasted.” Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley was sympathetic to Duliba’s circumstances, but ordered a one-year firearms ban nonetheless. “I can understand why you said that, based on what I heard today, and I can understand your being frustrated and angry,” Cleaveley said, ruling Duliba’s statement was a threat and not a question. “Your anger and your frustration got the best of you.”

Confusion leads to ERT raid A confused elderly man was responsible for a massive police presence on a quiet residential street in Sahali on Tuesday afternoon. At about noon, Kamloops Mounties responded to a report of a home invasion at 211 McGill Rd., behind Sahali Centre Mall. RCMP Staff Sgt. Mike Savage said the caller, a 70-year-old resident of the home, said two armed men had broken into his house. When police arrived, Savage said, there was no answer at the door. Emergency-response team members — dressed in military camouflage — then set off an explosive device to cause a distraction before barging into the house. “It’s a distraction device,” Savage

Co-owner Katie McArthur describes her new business, located next to the Scoopz ice-cream parlour downtown at the corner of Third Avenue and Lansdowne Street, as a video game come to life.

Visitors to Perplexed Puzzles in downtown Kamloops will enter Margaret’s Estate, a room with clues in almost everything one touches.

Escape rooms have been gaining popularity worldwide. Until now, however, Kamloopsians needed to travel to Kelowna or the Lower Mainland to get in on the action. McArthur was inspired to leave her job as a self-described paper-pusher for the municipality of Clearwater after a trip through a similar room in Winnipeg, where she and a friend raced to stave off a nuclear meltdown. “I love having fun and this is a lot of fun,” she said. McArthur and friends have spent the last two months designing, building and testing puzzles to

make their own unique version. McArthur said Perplexed’s first offering is based on her own Auntie Marge, who passed away earlier this year. “She had an extraordinary love of cats, to the point where she left her entire fortune to her 12 cats — no joke. So, this is honestly Auntie Marge’s legacy in here.” The room is designed for teams of four, with about a 75 per cent success rate on a first runthrough. A larger puzzle, Bob’s Bunker, can accommodate teams of up to six and will open near the end of the month. McArthur said that puzzle will take Perplexed’s players a step further, with multiple rooms and a true escape objective.

HARPER’S CONSERVATIVES ARE BLEEDING OUR PUBLIC SERVICES. The Harper Conservative government’s vision for Canada’s future? Cuts, cuts, and more cuts. Canada’s border security services? Slashed. Canada’s environmental protection services? Sliced. Canada’s food safety services? Butchered. Veterans Affairs? Nine Veterans Affairs offices shut down and front-line services gone. Canadians who paid into Employment Insurance denied benefits. Canada’s public search and rescue services? Systematically dismantled. Essential public services threatened without regard for the safety and welfare of millions of Canadians.

KTW reporter Jessica Klymchuk has an “a-ha!” moment as she searches for clues.

Marg’s estate Without spoiling the gameplay, I can say my group spent its time in Margaret’s Estate alternately high-fiving, laughing, crawling on the ground, slapping our foreheads and groaning and wearing pillbox hats (all right, the last one was just me). Communication is key — and half the fun. While we didn’t manage to crack into Margaret’s vault, we left planning to come back to improve our cat burglary skills. A second KTW group of four had better success. McArthur is hoping the room will appeal to families with teenagers, video game-loving twentyand thirty-somethings and businesses looking for an unusual corporate team-building exercise. Unlike most escape rooms, Perplexed is a popup business. The rooms can be taken down and reassembled in school gyms, parks or other store fronts. McArthur said the plan is to run two puzzles until Halloween — when a special spooky escape room will be featured — then close for the winter to design all-new rooms. “Kamloops, maybe they can’t do it every day, but we can come back with new and exciting rooms for four months or five months,” she said. Perpelexed Puzzles opens to the public tomorrow. For more information, go online to perplexedpuzzles.com.

ANOTHER BYLAW WITH NO TEETH

he takeaway from city council’s decision this week to enact a ban on residential use of cosmetic pesticides is that the bylaw, like the one it is replacing, is more or less ceremonial. The bylaw will have no teeth and, other than appeal to the conscious of Kamloopsians sensitive to obeying the law, will change little. As it now stands, the city’s bylaw allows only licensed applicators — such as lawn-care companies — to spray chemicals on lawns to battle weeds. As of Jan. 1, 2016, the bylaw will state nobody can spray chemicals on lawns to battle weeds. But, next spring, pallets of pesticides and herbicides will continue to disappear from store shelves in quick order as many residents decide their right to a manicured lawn and beautiful shrubbery supersedes a bylaw that will not be enforced. The current bylaw was enacted in 2009 and, in the six years since, the City of Kamloops has issued no fines. Under the current bylaw and under the new bylaw, there is nothing stopping a Kamloops resident from walking into a store, buying a product that a bylaw states he cannot use and going home and using that product. The only real impact this bylaw will have is on the bottom line of lawncare companies that have residences as customers. Many lawns will continue to be treated, but by homeowners, potentially creating a greater health hazard if those using the chemicals do not know how to properly and safely apply the contents. For now, the bylaw does not apply to the City of Kamloops’ approach to caring for its sports fields. Nor does the bylaw apply to commercial properties, so golf courses and every expanse of lawn fronting a business can still be treated with pesticides. A growing argument online calls for city council to either do it right or don’t do it at all; in other words, have the bylaw applicable to everyone, with no exceptions. It would seem to make sense if, as proponents of the bylaw claim, the measure is all about protecting the health of residents.

Genesis of a bad candidate

ere’s hoping in 94 days from today, voters in Vancouver South do the right thing and turf rookie MP Wai Young from office. She’s the Conservative who, speaking at a church in her riding that advertises itself on its website as believing in aggressive evangelism, declared that the infamous anti-terrorism Bill C-51 reflects the teachings of Jesus. Young, who apparently believes Bible stories, but doesn’t follow the news because she thinks journalists don’t deal in facts, told her audience at the church her party works “in the same vein” as Christ. Not content with that, she continued to tell these potential voters the country’s spy network was legally precluded from telling the RCMP there was a bomb on the Air India plane that blew up and threw our nation into a dark hole filled with anger, fear and the understanding we were living in a new reality. It seems Young is the one who doesn’t deal in facts. Here’s hoping the Insights West poll that shows she’s going down to defeat is accurate. As of this writing, her leader hadn’t spoken out to condemn her stupidity, although perhaps Prime Minister Stephen Harper has learned his lesson, having praised senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, while now likely wishing he’d kept his mouth shut. It’s going to be an interesting 96 days. The hype has started. The attack ads are online. The CBC is already predicting winners and losers and says it’s staying abreast of election trends

LEVEL with its interactive poll tracker. There’s a sense of deja vu. Harper tries to float above everything and continues his fearmongering about our economy and all those radicalized terrorists who live and walk among us. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair is trying so hard to be the next Jack Layton, a man who made it to Opposition leader, but never got to show us what he would do in that position. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, bless his heart and his hunky hair, leaves us wondering when some of his dad’s genes might kick into play. And, Elizabeth May’s Green party has been shut out of some of the televised debates. Yesterday, the day this column was written, the CBC was predicting a minority NDP government will be in place on Oct. 20, the day after we all vote — assuming we all do vote, something history has shown is a laughable hope. After all, in the last federal election, only 61.4 per cent of us made it to the polls, the third-lowest turnout in Canadian history. It’s certainly better than the paltry turnout we see at the

municipal level, but it also means one of every three friends we have, on average, won’t vote. I’ve been counting the days since the last federal election pretty much decimated the Liberals (although not to the legacy level of former prime minister Kim Campbell and her Progressive Conservatives). Here at KTW, we’re starting to plan our election coverage and, out in the community, activists and partisan players are busy trying to influence us all or help define the issues to be discussed. On July 28, for example, a variety of organizations has planned a presentation at Thompson Rivers University called Make 2015 the Last Unfair Election. The promotional email sent claims it will be a non-partisan event — although the title already belies that assertion — and it says local candidates have been invited. Colleague Cam Fortems pointed out a website that is already postulating McLeod’s imminent defeat, showing NDP candidate Bill Sundhu in the lead with 46 per cent, McLeod second at 35 per cent and Liberal candidate Steve Powrie third at 10 per cent That same projection, however, carries the proviso it is “not necessarily an accurate reflection of current voting intentions in each riding,” so I’m not sure how much credence to give it. Here’s the point, though: It’s just a bit more than 13 weeks to the day we chose a new government. Don’t waste that time. Pay attention, ask questions, listen for real answers and not just canned talking points — and, on Oct. 19, get out there and vote. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FLAGGED FOR PROPERTY-RIGHTS INTRUSION POOR ETIQUETTE Editor: I attended the first game of the Kamloops Invitational Baseball Tournament last week and was discomfited by two incidents at the beginning of the game. As dignitaries and executives were piped on to the ball field, two young women headed the parade, one holding up the U.S. flag and the other carrying the Canadian flag. During the opening ceremonies, the U.S. and Canadian anthems were sung and I was dismayed that I was the only person I could see in the large crowd who was actually singing O Canada. g Worse dismay came as the dignield taries left the field because both young women apparently felt their formal roles were over and both dragged their flags across the diamond as they were leaving. Now, I have no reason to think these young women should know anything about flag etiquette, but it was upsetting to me that the organizers of the formalities obviously don’t, either. And, if there was anyone in the stands from the U.S. (and I assume there was), they would be no more pleased than I was at the sight of their flag being dragged across grass and infield dirt. Is it too much to ask that pride of nation be exhibited at these events? Please sing our anthem the next time and remember that no nation’s flag is allowed to touch the ground. Diane McLeod Kamloops

Editor: If weeds could speak, our lawns would be rejoicing with a sense of relief given council’s decision this week to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides on residential properties. The dandelion will be the hands-down favourite to become king and queen of Kamloops proper, ruling unrestricted and not taking any further casualties from the big, bad chemical companies. The re-insurgence of the four-leaf clover in our lawns will likely not be a lucky sign for the numerous professional pesticide companies that have come to the rescue of many homeowners since the last change in city pesticide regulations in 2009.

This should have been enough to satisfy those opposed to pesticides. However, Kamloops has once again strengthened its reputation for re-visiting issues until they are passed, one way or another. The kingslayer, or kingmaker, is now Coun. Arjun Singh, depending on what point of view one held prior to council proclaiming its desire to snuff out the commercial application of weed killer in the city. The question, though, is will this decision have a lasting effect with the electorate in the next election given its seemingly evenly split support? At the end of the day, I can live with council’s decision

either way, but I must admit it is going to be a lot more work without pesticides. Certainly one can argue a homeowner can do things to minimize the use of pesticides — and I agree. However, to do that properly, one has to turn their yards upside down and literally get rid of their lawns. That concept is a lot easier if starting out with a bare lot. But, the most important issue for me was the city’s intrusion into my individual property rights, and that is something I will not be forgetting any time soon, particularly as I will be reminded every time I am pulling weeds in my yard. Dave Brummund Kamloops

MP SHOULD REFLECT ON REAL ISSUES Editor: I received a letter in the mail from the office of our MP, Cathy McLeod. It was asking my opinion on the assisted-suicide issue. Over the past 10 years, we have seen McLeod’s Conservative government add $160 billion to the federal debt, gut environment laws, mute environmental scientists, spend $500 million in taxpayer dollars on partisan ads, break election laws, spend tens of millions of dollars fighting Supreme Court of

Canada when its ideologically driven legislation has been deemed unconstitutional, slash social and veterans’ programs, neuter the office of the chief electoral officer and use the Senate as a partisan fundraising arm of government. Did McLeod once ask my opinion on any of these issues? No. I think McLeod should walk outside her office, look up at the smoke-filled sky and reflect on the issues of the day, including global warm-

ing, drought, species extinction and a national debt of $600 billion. She should then think of her grandchildren and mine and ask herself if blindly regurgitating the talking points of a prime minister whose primary goal is not to build a better, more socially, economically, and environmentally healthy country and world, but to win at all costs, will leave them with a better world?

Warm water results in small fish kill TRUCKS MOST OF B.C. RECORDING LOW STREAM AND RIVER LEVELS

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A small fish kill due to warm water and low flows has been reported in a tributary of the Barriere River as drought conditions continue to worsen throughout B.C. On a conference call from Victoria yesterday, provincial officials said most of the province is suffering from remarkably low streams and rivers — conditions typically during a drought in late summer. The province announced a Level 4 drought rating — the highest — in the south Coast and Lower Fraser regions. That could lead to orders to drastically curtail or stop withdrawals for some localized water licences. Closer to home, Kamloops is amid areas of Level 3 in the Nicola, Level 2 in the North Thompson and Level 1 (normal) conditions to the west. There are no stream closures or major conservation advisories in the Kamloops area, although Leonie Creek, a tributary of the Barriere River, saw a small fish kill from high temperatures and low flows. Wenda Mason, a manager at the B.C. River Forecast Centre, said much of the province is in the grip of low

winter snowpacks combined with a drought and early and continuing high temperatures. “It’s more typical of late August than mid-July,” she said. Some regions of the province as close to Kamloops as Hope are under severe water restrictions. But, a city official said the bountiful supply of water in the two rivers flowing into the Tournament Capital means there will not be shortages. Demand remains below historic highs. “We’re not using water like we did a few years ago,” utilities service manager Mike Firlotte said. “It’s hotter and it’s drier, but we’re not seeing that in usage.” In the South Thompson, it is recommended local users reduce usage by about 20 per cent. Graphs of Shuswap Lake show it has declined to at least a 13-year low for this time of year. Fisheries officials warned earlier this week of temperatures reaching as high as 19 C on the Fraser River, conditions that imperil spawning salmon. Murray Ross, who heads the Secwepemc Fisheries Commission, said staff will meet this week with federal Department of Fisheries and

Oceans officials to plan a monitoring and advisory program in this region to determine fish kill and water temperature on local tributaries. “We want to make sure we’re out there witnessing this stuff,” he said. This year is a sub-dominant one for the Adams River salmon run, with several-hundred-thousand sockeye forecast to return. Also at risk is the late-summer sockeye run for Scotch Creek. There is also a salmon run on the North Thompson. “We’re concerned about all of them,” Ross said. For trout, provincial fish and wildlife section head Mike Ramsay said streams on the watchlist for possible closure to angling include the Nicola and Coldwater rivers as well as Spius Creek in the Nicola Valley. In the Similkameen, some streams have reached temperatures of between 22 C and 25 C — considered lethal for fish. The system is home to eight rare and endangered species. There is little or no rain expected in Kamloops in the next seven days, although some parts of the province are forecast to receive some showers and cooler weather.

Accused in shooting to be sentenced CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A defence lawyer urged a B.C. Supreme Court justice to ignore allegations his client has gang connections. Crown and defence lawyers presented their sentencing positions for Adam Colligan, who was found guilty in March on six charges, including aggravated assault and extortion with a firearm. Prosecutor Adrienne Murphy argued Colligan should serve five to six years in jail for the events in May 2013. The minimum for the firearms-related offences is four years. Defence lawyer Dale Melville told Justice Dev Dley his client should be sentenced to a five-year term in prison. Dley is set to render his

decision on July 24. Colligan, 28, was charged after Al Powell, an admitted marijuana dealer and advocate for the legalization of cannabis, was shot in the bathroom of his North Shore home in 2013. Prior to the shooting, Colligan had attempted to strong-arm Powell into buying his marijuana supply directly from him and his associates who, court heard, were affiliated with the Independent Soldiers gang. Powell attempted to wrestle the gun away from his attackers and a shot was fired, striking him in the knee. During the trial, court heard evidence that Powell was pistolwhipped and shown Independent Soldiers paraphernalia. There was also suggestion Powell said his

supplier was the Hells Angels. But, Melville urged Dley to reject any suggestion Colligan was affiliated with a criminal organization. “There was no evidence toward [a finding of] criminal organization,” he said. “There was no expert evidence.” Taking the stand in his own defence, Colligan claimed to have spent May 11, 2013, with his girlfriend, eating appetizers and watching romantic movies. The jury rejected that evidence and found him guilty as charged. Melville said Colligan has a minor criminal record and is a candidate for rehabilitation with strong family support. However, a pre-sentence report stated RCMP have said his family has a criminal background.

A Kamloops man described by police as “an incredible drain on community resources” has been jailed for two months. Patrick Bebonang pleaded guilty to two counts of causing a disturbance stemming from separate incidents last month. The 41-year-old was arrested on June 13 when he drunkenly walked into a downtown Starbucks and sat down at a table, refusing to leave when asked to do so by an employee. Court heard he appeared to be close to passing out. When he was arrested, police found a con-

tainer of high-alcohol hand sanitizer in his bag. He was released from custody on a promise to appear in court, but ended up in jail the following day after a clerk at Movie Mart called police to report an intoxicated man refusing to leave the store. Once again, police found hand sanitizer in Bebonang’s possession. “Police describe him as an incredible drain on community resources,” said Crown prosecutor Alex Janse, noting Bebonang has taken to asking to be transported to hospital when arrested so he can sleep in a more comfortable setting. “He then steals hand sanitizer from the hospital, where they have it

readily available at several locations,” she said. Janse asked Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison to jail Bebonang for three to four months. “The only time Mr. Bebonang is not causing a disturbance and creating problems for police is when he is in custody,” she said. Bebonang has a lengthy criminal record, with more than 45 convictions. In 2014, he was convicted four times of causing a disturbance. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen argued jail is not a good method of social pest control. “Locking somebody up just because they are

a nuisance is a slippery slope,” he said. Bebonang, who has been in jail since June 14, said he’s not proud of his actions. “I’ve lost all willpower to live and even wake up in the morning,” he said. “Unfortunately, I have to because my eyes keep opening. I don’t like to be a nuisance to society and a drain on resources. That’s not nice to do.” Harrison handed Bebonang a 60-day jail sentence, but not before offering a warning. “Your conduct is not just a nuisance to others, it should also be a grave concern to yourself,” the judge said. “You’re going to do yourself in if you carry on like this.”

LOCAL NEWS

An Independent arrival and a fitness addition JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Residents might notice some changes to Kamloops businesses as of late. The new sign at a grocery store in North Kamloops is no coincidence. Extra Foods has been rebranded as Cain’s Your Independent Grocer. The 54,000-squarefoot store in Northills Shopping Centre is under new ownership with the retirement of Wayne Haynes, but remains under the umbrella of Loblaw Companies Limited, which has been phasing out Extra Foods. Your Independent Grocer — which, in Kamloops, will take on the name of local store owners Jason and Christine Cain — has nearly 10 stores in B.C., including a recent opening in

Capri Centre mall in Kelowna. KTW is awaiting a reply from Loblaw about the rebranding of Extra Foods to Your Independent Grocer; however, in a press release, Loblaw’s public-relations department stated the store will have new products and a juice bar. Also, it added roughly 50 new positions in its transition. “Thanks to the new full-service butcher counter and expanded deli, we hired cutters in our meat department,” the release stated. “We also added a number of positions to support the new product section, which now features a fresh juice bar and pre-made salads.” It continues to hire employees for its Meals To Go department. A grand opening, which will include

a donation to the Kamloops Food Bank, will take place tomorrow at 8 a.m. • Meanwhile, construction is underway on a new gym in Aberdeen. Anytime Fitness is expected to open in Cityview Shopping Centre in February or March of 2016. The franchise is known for access, being open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year with the use of a fob-entry system.

A 4,000-squarefoot building is under construction next to Original Joe’s Restaurant and Bar. Co-owner Joe Caldow said the new facility was chosen due to location. When asked about possibly taking over Target’s former location in Sahali Centre Mall, Caldow said “that’s way too big for us.” Membership fees vary from club to club and have yet to be set

locally. Hiring will get underway in the fall. “It’ll likely be three positions,” Caldow said. • The city’s food and beverage industry is also seeing change. CeCe’s Kitchen has opened in the former location of ABC Country Restaurant, at 1835 Rogers Place in Aberdeen, and comes in the wake of a labour dispute between the former owner and staff.

• On the other side of the city, one of the few restaurants in Westsyde is for sale. Nishino Sushi, a 100-seat restaurant with an outdoor patio, formerly the Westsyde Pump pub at 3020 Westsyde Rd., has been listed by ReMax Real Estate for about three weeks. KTW did not receive a call from management before deadline, but the listing says it has “profitable numbers.”

LOCAL NEWS Kamloops Mounties are investigating the alleged swarming of a teenaged girl at a Canada Day bush party. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said the assault took place just after 1 a.m. on July 1 during a passingthe-torch party at Inks Lake. The 16-year-old victim required medical attention for her injuries.

POLICE PROBE ASSAULT

“Very little is known about the incident, which allegedly occurred when the victim was swarmed by four other females and assaulted,” Epp said. Police are hoping to speak to anyone who has information about the incident. Passing-the-torch parties are gatherings of graduating teens held in rural areas of the city at the end of the school year.

Students from various secondary schools organize such parties for their schools, while the Canada Day event was believed to have been attended by students from multiple schools. Such parties in the past have resulted in assaults and, in one case in Barnhartvale in 2013, a 17-year-old filed a complaint that she was sexually assaulted.

Kamloops mountain biker Catharine Pendrel earned a silver medal on the weekend at the Pan Am Games in Toronto. The one podium that has continued to elude the current world champion is at the Olympics.

Beat THe HeAT THIs suMMeR

Kamloops resident Catharine Pendrel has done everything crosscountry mountain biking has to offer — everything except find the podium at the Olympics. “Am I incredibly happy with what I’ve achieved? Definitely,” Pendrel said. “Is there more that I could do? Definitely.” Driving with husband Keith Wilson to northern Quebec from Toronto, where she earned silver for Canada at the Pan Am Games on Sunday, Pendrel spoke to KTW by phone. The conversation moved to the paralyzing disappointment of finishing ninth at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, where she entered the competition as the favourite, the reigning world champion. It had to be talked about because the sub-standard performance is part of her story. The problem with an off-day at the Olympics is it takes four years to

receive a shot at redemption. Some never return. Pendrel’s family dragged her out of post-London gloom and, slowly, she began to ditch despair and pedal toward atonement. “It wasn’t fair to them, to these people who had supported me so much, if I’m still bummed out about a race that happened six months ago,” she said. The New Brunswick-born mountain biker watched American crosscountry skiing star Kikkan Randall, a medal favourite like herself, stumble at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. “My reaction was, ‘Oh, that’s too bad,’ and I moved on,” said Pendrel, who was 16 when she started mountain biking. “That was a pivotal moment. “I realized I was holding onto this race, but everyone else had moved on and it was time for me to do that, too.” See PENDREL, A17

MORTGAGE MATTERS The Annual Mortgage Check-up

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

SPORTS

For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Kyle Pauwels (right) has been a beast for the Kamloops Venom. He has scored 13 goals in the Venom’s last two games, victories that sent them into the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League Final.

Snakes versus Tigers MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

They know each other well. They don’t like each other. The Kamloops Venom and Vernon Tigers will meet for the fifth time in six years in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) final. Game 1 of the bestof-five championship series gets underway at 7:15 p.m. on Friday at Kal Tire Place in Vernon. “It’s pretty heated,” said Kyle Pauwels, the 20-year-old Kamloops sniper who paced his team to victory in Round 1 of the playoffs. “Some of us know each other from other clubs and teams but, out there, there are no friends.” Kamloops and the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton

went the distance in their first-round TOJLL semifinal series, with the Venom landing the knockout punch in Game 5 in Kelowna on Tuesday. Pauwels racked up eight goals and led the Snakes to a 13-7 victory in the deciding game, following a five-goal performance in a 14-8 triumph for Kamloops at Memorial Arena in Game 4 on Monday. Also scoring goals for the Venom on Tuesday were Blaine Boomer, Riley Peterson, Jerome Thorne, Tylor Seabrooke and Mike Van Unen. Dalan Etter made 43 saves between the pipes for the Snakes. “Our offence is really starting to click. We’re moving our feet, paying the price, going through the middle and getting some good shots off,” Pauwels said.

“We’re fortunate to get some key guys back over the last couple weeks and the team is starting to gel at a good time.” The return of players such as Pauwels, Blaine Boomer, Colton Boomer and Riley Peterson from higher levels of lacrosse has helped Kamloops reach the TOJLL final — and, if it’s going to beat Vernon, the local junior B lacrosse team will need all the help it can get. With a perfect 16-0 regular-season record, the Tigers were the class of the league and they made short work of the Armstrong Shamrocks in the other semifinal series, sweeping it 3-0. Vernon beat Kamloops in each of their four regular-season encounters — 7-4 in Kamloops on May 2, 7-6 in Vernon on

June 13, 8-7 in Vernon on June 17 and 10-4 in Kamloops on June 28. “We’ve had some close games,” said Pauwels, whose Venom finished the regular season 7-8-1. “With us getting some momentum going into the series, we’ve got a good chance, but we’ve got to play to our potential.” The Tigers won the league title in 2009, 2013 and 2014. Kamloops was victorious from 2010 to 2012. Don’t expect the 2015 banner to be decided without a few barnburner epics, including Game 2 in the Snake Pit at Memorial on Sunday. Game time is 7:30 p.m. “On the floor, we’re not friends at all,” Pauwels said. “I think it’s going to be close, for sure.”

Pendrel plans to peak at perfect time From A15

The 2007 Pan Am Games winner and 2010 and 2012 World Cup series champ returned to prominence in 2014. Pendrel won her fifth national title, her first Commonwealth Games crown and reclaimed her spot as the planet’s best, finishing first at the world championships in Norway. Those results are great, but they don’t guarantee her place at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics next year. The fourth-place finisher at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games can book her ticket to Brazil at this year’s world championship, which will be held in September in Vallnord, Andorra. If Pendrel, currently second among elite women in the Union Cycliste International ranks, is the highestplacing Canadian and finishes in the top five at worlds, she is going to Rio. Emily Batty, who edged the Kamloops rider to win gold at the Pan Ams, has a chance to put a damper on Pendrel’s party in Andorra. The 27-year-old Oshawa cyclist — who accompanied Pendrel

to the London Games and finished 24th — has climbed to seventh in the world rankings. “My teammate Emily had slightly more jump on one climb than me and that’s the difference between gold and silver,” Pendrel said of the Pan Am Games race. “It’s actually really inspiring, having another Canadian that’s riding so well right now, who is going to push me to find my best this season and in the one to come.” Tournament Capital residents need not worry about Pendrel’s second-place finish at Pan Ams as it relates to her qualification to Rio

— because is doesn’t. “It offers cyclists very few points, but it’s a huge media event and a great way to connect with the Canadian public and show them what we do,” said Pendrel, a member of the Cycling Canada team since 2004. “In terms of us getting to Rio, it didn’t have a large significance.” National team coach Dan Proulx said his athletes are willing to sacrifice results at events such as the Pan Ams and nationals if it means nailing down fundamentals that will be key when it matters most — at world championships and Olympics.

Pendrel’s training plan is designed to have her peaking at the perfect time, which means she is not supposed to be in top form just yet. Multi-sport events such as the Commonwealth and Pan Am Games have unique value to Pendrel because they give her

a chance to compete under the spotlight, to further prove to herself and fans she is capable of performing when international hardware is up for grabs. “It’s more difficult not to focus on a medal when it’s a Games event because medals are pretty much the only thing that gets the media’s attention,” said Pendrel, a member of the LUNA Chix Pro Team, a multi-national stable featuring some of the world’s best riders. “You’re asked a lot of questions about winning medals and everyone is cheering ‘Go for gold!’ It seeps into your mind, even if you’re trying to have it not go in there.” Recent results point to a competitor who has dealt with her demons, having followed last year’s world-championship gold with top-four placings at each of this

season’s three World Cup events — fourth in Nové Mesto na Morave, Czech Republic, on May 24 and third-place results in Albstadt, Germany, on May 31 and Lenzerheide, Switzerland, on July 5. The remaining three cross-country mountain biking World Cup events will be held next month — in MontSaint-Anne, Que., on Aug. 2, Windham, N.Y., on Aug. 9, and Val di Sole, Italy, on Aug 23. Finishing well at World Cup events garners Olympicqualification points, which Pendrel might need if she can’t seal her place in Rio at worlds in Andorra. Canada will almost certainly send two female riders to the 2016 Olympics, spots earned by its position among the top eight cross-country nations in the world. The Great White North is ranked second,

behind Switzerland. At 34, Pendrel is not sure what the future holds beyond Brazil. “I don’t know yet and I don’t want to pidgeonhole myself, but I’m excited to move on and do other things, study physiotherapy,” she said. “I’ll put in some applications and see what happens. I still love racing. I hope racing and riding are still a part of my life.” For now, the focus remains on Rio. “London was tough because I felt like it was my race to lose and things didn’t go as I had planned,” Pendrel said. “It was a really powerful learning experience. “I feel very fortunate that I have been able to move on and become world champion again and become a Commonwealth Games gold medallist. “It gives me goosebumps to think about medalling at Olympics.”

Spieth eyeing history DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — With a chance to match history at the home of golf, Jordan Spieth is trying to make the British Open feel like just another event. That might be as tough as any challenge at St. Andrews. The press room was at capacity and spilled out the door when he spoke to the media yesterday for the first time this week, creating an atmosphere normally reserved for Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy. Fans gathered around a board that listed the practice round schedule, scanning up and down until they found Spieth. “Please hold the cameras until after the shot,’’ caddie Michael Greller told the gallery. The sound of shutters began at the top of his swing and Spieth could only laugh when he launched his tee shot. “It’s like this on every hole,’’ he said. The 21-year-old Texan does not have the aura of Woods. He does not have the accomplishments of McIlroy. But, he is the main attraction at this British Open and would be even if McIlroy — the defending champion and No. 1 in the world

— were not out with an ankle injury. Folks know their history at St. Andrews. Ben Hogan in 1953 is the only other player to capture the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. Only three players since then — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Woods — have ever come to Scotland with hopes of a Grand Slam. Spieth knows history, too, as much as he’d rather not think about it until he has no choice. “I like to study the history of golf and it’s extremely special what this year has brought to our team,’’ he said. “And to have a chance to do what only one other person in the history of golf has done . . . I’m sure embracing that opportunity. “But, by the time I start on Thursday, it won’t be in my head. It’ll be about how can I bring this Open Championship down to just another event, get out there and try and get myself into contention.’’ He set out for his final practice round on a cool morning with an

overcast sky, occasional rain and not much wind. There is plenty of talk about how ready Spieth will be for his shot at history. He played two full rounds and 10 holes leading up to the start today. He played the Old Course four years ago on his way to the Walker Cup. Then again, St. Andrews has rarely been this green, this slow, because of recent rain. That takes some of the roll out of the fairway and with it the unpredictable nature of links golf. Spieth is the betting favourite and it didn’t hurt that he won the John Deere Classic on Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour title of the year. Whatever he lost in study by not coming over early, he might have gained in confidence that not much has changed since the U.S. Open. “Coming over earlier certainly could have helped,’’ he said. “I just liked the fact that I could go somewhere, I could play hard and possibly win a PGA Tour event in preparation. But, certainly, more time on this golf course couldn’t ever hurt anybody.’’ The jet lag hasn’t been a problem. Besides, Spieth won the Australian Open in late November, flew straight to Dallas, went

to Florida the next day for the Hero World Challenge and beat an 18-man field of top 50 players by 10 shots. But, this is a full field and the oldest championship in golf on the links where it all began. “Maybe a slightly bigger stage,’’ Spieth said. The only concern is the weather. It has been reasonable all week, though the forecast is for wind to increase up to 55 kph with shifting directions. “It seems a little easier than I think it’ll play,’’ Spieth said. “So, I would have liked to see tougher conditions in practice rounds to get used to prevailing winds and wind switches. That’s part of the fun and the adjustment.’’ Everything seems fun to Spieth at the moment. Just two years ago, he didn’t even have a full PGA Tour card when he won the John Deere Classic by holing a bunker shot on the 18th and winning a playoff. The next day he was in Muirfield and the 19-year-old was three shots off the lead going into the weekend. He faded badly. “I remember almost thinking like that was too big for me at the time in a way,’’ Spieth said. It’s different now.

Ducks sign Kesler to six-year deal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Centre Ryan Kesler got comfortable quickly with the Anaheim Ducks and the club let him know the feeling is definitely mutual. The veteran centre agreed to a six-year, $41.25 million con-

tract extension with the Ducks yesterday, cementing a longterm commitment after just one season together. “I definitely feel a part of the core group now,’’ Kesler said. “They wanted me and I wanted to stay.’’ Kesler had 20 goals, 27 assists

and 75 penalty minutes last year in Anaheim after spending his first nine NHL seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. The hardnosed U.S. Olympian filled a key role as the Ducks’ second-line centre while matching up defensively against many teams’ top scorers.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  ARTHUR KENTON (KEN) WILSON Ken was born on August 17, 1923 in Kamloops, B.C., where he enjoyed most of his life before peacefully passing away, in the company of his daughter, Maureen and her family in West Kelowna. Ken went to Kam High Secondary, where he met his future wife, Irene Skelly. His studies continued as he travelled to UBC, where he earned a degree in Biology/Agriculture. Ken’s career started in managing and implementing farming practices at the Jineva/Skelly Farm. (Orchards Walk). Soon, WW 2 broke out and he was called to duty and became a member of the RCAF. Ken was deployed to Montreal for training. While on leave, he married his high school sweetheart, Irene. Soon after Ken was sent overseas to England and the outskirts of Germany. Returning home from the war, Ken was busy raising a family, working on the farm and also finding time to work as a research scientist with his friend, Len Marchand (MP), at the Canada Department of Agriculture Research Centre in Tranquille. As well, Ken was travelling to UBC to gain his teaching degree. Ken was hired to teach Biology and Math at his old school, Kam High where he remained until his retirement. Ken was a true “Renaissance” man. He was proficient at playing Bridge, building homes, furniture and doll houses. He could fix anything from stoves to cars and tractors, from irrigation systems to hair dryers. He was an artist, baker and tailor; sewing his own tents, sails, and backpacks. Throughout his life, Ken also enjoyed recreational activities, which included square dancing, ballroom dancing, cross country skiing, fly fishing and hunting with his beloved Labrador Retrievers. His greatest love, however, would be hiking in the mountains where he felt at home with nature. Lake O’Hara, in the Canadian Rockies was his favourite destination, having visited and hiked there over fifty times. Ken is predeceased by his wife, Irene, his parents Daisy and Albert and his sister Barbara. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by his daughter Maureen (Dennis) Warner, his son Frank and daughter Donna (Dale) Redekop, as well as nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Our dad, Ken was a strong, talented and witty man. He was a proud Canadian veteran who loved his country. He taught us to respect the environment and appreciate and embrace the beauty of our land. We will all miss his wisdom.

SEONAID “SEON” SYDNEY BONDERUD July 19, 1937 – July 12, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the quiet passing

on July 12, 2015 in Kamloops of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Seonaid Sydney Bonderud. She will be deeply missed by her husband Carl and sons Chris (Joanne), Kerry (Elaine), and daughter Kim (Paul) Tassie along with grandchildren Kirsten, Erica, Alana, Tyler, Laura, Emma, and Graham. Also mourning her passing is her younger sister Wendy Madsen and her children Jennifer (Jay) Cacaci and Cameron Madsen along with extended family in Kamloops and elsewhere in western Canada. Seon was predeceased by her dear parents, Jen, in 1993 and Niels, in 2001. Seon was born in North Vancouver on July 19, 1937 to Niels and Jen Krag (nee Bain). She graduated from North Van High School in 1955 and shortly after met and married Carl in 1958. They soon moved to Kamloops where they joined Niels and Jen (Niels had just been transferred with the RCMP) and started their family and Carl’s career as a heavy duty mechanic. Seon was the consummate host with a passion to ensure all guests were welcome, fed, and entertained. She loved fine clothes, travelling annually to Hawaii or other warm locations and spending many summers at the family cabin on Shuswap Lake. Her home and cabin was the source of great joy to her and her family, extended family, and many friends. Sadly, Seon was stricken with dementia in recent years and gradually lost her abilities but never her kind spirit. Carl and the family unfailingly supported her at home until very recently when her health declined rapidly. She was briefly hospitalized and then compassionately placed into palliative care at Ridgeview Lodge. We’ve lost a great person with compassion for life. Her legacy endures with her children and grandchildren. A memorial service will be held for Seon at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive.

CRAIG WONG

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate yesterday as it slashed its outlook for the economy and predicted a contraction in the second quarter due to the impact of lower oil prices and weaker-than-expected exports. The central bank cut its target for the overnight rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 0.5 per cent. The Bank of Canada said its lower outlook for growth was due to three factors: Canadian oil producers cutting their investment plans, slowing growth in China and nonresource exports faltering — a trend it described as “a puzzle that merits further study.’’ “Global economic developments have been quite disappointing,’’ Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz told a news conference.

boost by making it cheaper for consumers and companies to borrow money. TD Canada Trust responded Wednesday by cutting its prime rate by a tenth of a percentage point to 2.75 per cent, effective today, lowering the amount charged on loans tied to the prime rate including variable rate mortgages and lines of credit. A contraction by the economy in the second quarter would mean the country slipped into a recession in the first half of the year, but the Bank of Canada did not make that distinction. “I’m not going to engage in a debate about what we call this,’’ Poloz said. “There’s no doubt we have worked our way through a mild contraction.’’ BMO chief economist Doug Porter said whether the bank was going to cut or not was seen as a toss-up by economists. “Casting aside concerns about a fire-breathing housing market, a Canadian dollar testing decade-lows and core

CPI consistently above two per cent, the bank is more focused on the hit to growth from the oil shock and the ‘puzzling’ weakness in the non-energy side of the economy,’’ Porter wrote in a note. “While we don’t think the economic clouds will clear immediately, we lean to the view that conditions will improve enough to keep them on hold through the rest of this year.’’ In its monetary policy report, the Bank of Canada forecast the economy contracted at an annual pace of 0.5 per cent in the second quarter compared with its April forecast for growth at a pace of 1.8 per cent. The drop follows a contraction at an annual pace of 0.6 per cent in the first three months of the year compared with the bank’s prediction of a flat quarter. However, the central bank predicts gross domestic product will grow at an annual pace of 1.5 per cent in the third quarter followed by 2.5 per cent in the last three

months of the year. That compared with its earlier forecast for growth of 2.8 per cent and 2.5 per cent for the third and fourth quarters respectively. For all of 2015, the Bank of Canada is now forecasting growth of 1.1 per cent, down from its earlier forecast of 1.9 per cent, while 2016 is expected to see growth of 2.3 per cent, down from 2.5 per cent. “The facts have changed quite quickly actually in the last two to three months,’’ Poloz said. The bank said several factors point to a resumption of growth in the third quarter, helped in part by the retroactive child-care benefit cheques Ottawa is poised to send out later this month. “Importantly, exports are projected to return to solid growth, supported by continued improvements in U.S. demand and a rebound in automotive exports following temporary shutdowns for retooling at the beginning of the year,’’ the bank said.

Klicks COUNTRY ARTIST FROM WEST KELOWNA EN ROUTE FOR MUSIC IN THE PARK

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

en Klick wants a well-rounded musical education. It’s why the 19-year-old country artist who will be performing at Music in the Park on Saturday has worked to be as comfortable behind the scenes as he is front and centre, on stage. “You have to definitely be educated in more ways than one in order to be extremely successful in what you want to do,” Klick told KTW from his home in West Kelowna. Klick graduated from Okanagan College’s one-year audio engineering and music production program only a couple of weeks before KTW reached him for a phone interview. The program taught him the ins and outs of music production, staging and the “power you need to run an entire show,” he said. However, his musical education didn’t start there. It began when he was a young boy and asked his parents, who aren’t musical, for a guitar for Christmas after watching Shania Twain perform live. See KLICK’S, B2

“My eyes were glued on the guitar player,” Klick said. “I said, ‘I want to be that guy.’” He later dove into guitar lessons and, in high school, even made three guitars and half of a ukulele in woodshop class. “I talked to my teacher and I said, ‘Hey, I’ll make the chair but, instead of a table and a bowl, I’ll make a guitar,’” he said. “One of them is definitely a decoration piece. “But, they are all 100 per cent playable. “They just have to be professionally set up.” Klick was inspired to learn by his idol Keith Urban. Having read and watched back-stage sessions with the country-music star, Klick noticed Urban’s “hands-on” approach. “That sparked something for me,” Klick said. “That being, learn everything.” He plans to release a new EP in late August with help from producers in Nashville, who he met as a result of winning the Global Country Star Search contest in Edmonton. He’s had his hands in some other contests, as well, including having recently been named runner-up in the B.C.

RECRUITING COUNTRY COMRADES IN KAMLOOPS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Darrin Cherewayko moved to Kamloops three years ago, he wanted to join a country band. After more than 30 years in music, the Manitoba drummer moved to the River City with his wife and, after posting online ads, attending local jam nights and spreading the word, he learned country music just isn’t the same as back on the Prairies. First, there’s a shortage of country music bands, he said. Then, whoever is good is already playing. “I spent basically two years searching around here, up and down,” Cherewayko told KTW. While attending a rooftop performance at the Ramada Inn, he met Ben Klick. “Right time, right place,” Cherewayko said. The West Kelowna singer-songwriter was just putting his band together and, Cherewayko said, “it’s been a great friendship ever since.” “It was this instant chemistry and connection,” Klick said. Country Music Association’s Spotlight Performance contest. The goal is to have his EP in hand for the Canadian Country Music Awards, which is in Halifax in September. Until then, Klick has several performances booked throughout the summer in the Okanagan area.

He’ll bring his newest band member — guitarist and his grad date’s uncle, Dave Savell — with Darrin Cherewayko, Ben Beveridge and Cyril Schermann to Riverside Park on Saturday. The show is at 7 p.m. Sample the music online at benklick.com under the Music tab.

Organizers of the Pemberton Music Festival are breathing better — thanks to improved air-quality readings in the area and a statement by the provincial government wildfires in the area are no longer a threat to the annual event. The Ministry of Environment and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority had issued a wildfire smoke advisory for the Sea-toSky corridor on July 11, but particulate levels in the air are below provincial objectives now. Organizers are still cautioning people planning to attend the festival, which runs from today to Monday, to use portable ashtrays and receptacles that will be throughout the festival site. Campfires are not allowed and campers using small propane stoves must not leave them unattended. The festival has posted its set list for the five days online at pembertonmusicfestival.com/schedule. With more than 100 performers, the stages will be busy from morning to night. Some of the major acts (with time slots) include:

Live music will be front and centre during the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s annual merchants market. Performers will share their talents throughout the downtown area, with the music wrapping up on July 25 with the second annual Battle of the Bands. The event starts next Wednesday with the 200- through 400-blocks of Victoria Street closed to cars, giving the space to the Kamloops Farmers’ Market and other nonprofit associations to host carnival games. On Thursday, it’s the Taste of Downtown from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with restaurants serving samples. Tasters purchase a $15 passport from the CAP Team Visitor Info kiosk at the corner of Third Avenue and Victoria Street to guide them to the eateries taking part. The passport purchase comes with eight tokens; additional ones can be bought for $2 each. People can vote for their favourite in the sixth annual Golden Fork and Silver Spoon awards. Friday continues with sidewalk entertainment, performers and sales. Street performer Mike Battie of Vancouver will be in Kamloops on Friday and Saturday to entertain. On Saturday, Fourth Avenue will be closed downtown for the band battle, which will run

The race between Google and automakers could determine how you experience driverless cars DEE-ANN DURBIN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Two competing visions could determine how you first experience a driverless car. Traditional automakers like Mercedes and Toyota already make vehicles equipped with systems that keep cars within their lanes, apply the brakes or park by themselves. Their plan is to gradually automate more functions of driving until, perhaps by 2025, some cars will be fully capable of driving themselves. But Google, Alibaba,

Baidu and other tech companies are aggressively working on their own selfdriving vehicles and could leapfrog the car industry in bringing them to market. Google, for instance, promises to deliver a selfdriving car in five years. Some experts predict that car companies will continue to make the cars consumers buy and park in their driveway and eventually some will be driverless. When the tech companies roll out driverless cars, they likely will be self-driving taxis for urban areas. But the outcome is far from certain. Tech com-

panies could go into the business of making cars for consumers or automakers could choose to develop and operate their own fleets of self-driving taxis. “One thing is clear. The next five to 10 years are going to be the most disruptive we’ve ever seen in the history of personal transportation,’’ said Karl Brauer, a senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. Right now, automakers have several advantages. They have a decadeslong history of research and development and a deep understanding of drivers’ needs and habits.

They’re also not new to semi-autonomous driving: Mercedes-Benz pioneered adaptive cruise control in 1999, while Nissan introduced lane-keeping in 2001. Automakers also have the manufacturing capacity to make the vehicles and the dealerships to sell them. Those are cash-intensive parts of the business that tech companies likely want no part of. Advances are coming at a furious pace. Mercedes and Infiniti offer cars that steer themselves and stay within their lanes at highway speeds. Tesla Motors is expected

to offer hands-free driving on the highway this summer; Cadillac will offer it next year. In 2017, Audi will offer low-speed, hands-free driving that works during traffic jams. But Google says a gradual approach to going driverless is wrong — and even dangerous. “The prevailing philosophy is that we’re going to take the driver assistance systems that are in the vehicle today and we’re going to incrementally make those better and better, and eventually we’ll get to this point where we

have self-driving cars,’’ said Chris Urmson, the director of Google’s self-driving car program. “We fundamentally don’t believe that’s the case. We believe that’s like saying, ‘If I work really hard at jumping, one day I’ll just be able to fly.’’’ Urmson worries that drivers might wrongly assume cars have autonomous features or they might get overconfident in their car’s abilities and forget to take back the wheel in an emergency.

DRIVE WAY

Driverless cars still not without their problems From page B7

Case in point: Last month, a driver testing a Volvo XC60 in the Dominican Republic plowed into some bystanders. The driver thought the car had a system that would stop automatically if it detected pedestrians. But, Volvo says the car wasn’t equipped with that optional system. Google is testing a small fleet of self-driving cars with no steering wheel. It plans to drive the cars thousands of miles on California highways and backstreets,

teaching them all the tricks of driving. Such an approach has its benefits. Unlike car companies, which have to constantly update current models, tech companies can take the time to dream big and perfect their self-driving systems. Customers would likely trust a self-driving system backed by Apple or Google. And tech companies have plenty of money: Google ended the first quarter with $65 billion in cash and marketable securities; General Motors had $21 billion. But many experts find

Google’s five-year timeframe overly ambitious. There are legal and ethical issues to work through before driverless cars go mainstream. Google’s cars also require extremely detailed mapping, which has only been done in limited areas. David Zuby, executive vice-president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said the auto industry is cautious for a reason. “If someone sets the technology too far ahead and it fails, that could set things back more than if you would let it evolve more naturally,’’ he said.

Egil Juliussen, who analyzes autonomous technology for the consulting firm IHS Automotive, said both approaches can work. He said the automakers’ gradual approach will cut down on accidents. In the meantime, Google, Uber and others will perfect their technology by focusing on low-speed, self-driving pods for urban areas. But at some point, Juliussen said, car companies will switch from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous driving. Automakers might ditch their own self-driving systems in favour of software

brands. Buyers of the new Volvo XC90 SUV must pay $2,850 extra for lane keeping, adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection. But, mainstream brands aren’t far behind. More autonomous technology will hit the market as cameras and sensors get cheaper and consumers demand more safety features. Toyota promises automatic braking, pedestrian detection and lane-departure warning for just a few hundred dollars on all of its vehicles by 2017. See SELF, page B9

OVER THE MOON BEER SPECS Moon Under Water’s This is Hefeweizen, 5.5 per cent ABV and Berliner Weisse, 3.2 per cent ABV

MUST-TRY ROAST 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 Canadian cuisine in honour of Canada Day. While the country has a diverse range of cultures offering plenty of variety when it comes to food, we will

share barbecue recipes this month with a tip of our hat to the United States — which is also celebrating a national holiday — and summertime grilling season. This week, try

mustard-glazed pork roast, a recipe contributed by Cat and Joe’s Pig Rig. This recipe packs a bit of heat so if you prefer a milder flavour, opt for regular barbecue sauce.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK ROAST

Courtesy of Cat and Joe’s Pig Rig 12 oz. spicy barbecue sauce 2 tbsp. finely grated orange rind 1/4 cup orange juice 1/4 cup old-style prepared mustard 1/2 tbsp. ground ginger 1/2 tbsp. salt 3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 3.5- to 4-lb. boneless pork top loin roast, tied

In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce, orange rind, orange juice, mustard, ginger, salt and cayenne pepper. Set aside. Preheat smoker to 225 F with applewood. Smoke/cook for 2.5 to three hours, basting several times with sauce. Remove roast from smoker, cover and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Makes eight servings.

f any style of beer is a total quality crapshoot in North America, it’s the hefeweizen. For the past couple months, I’ve been drinking every heffe I can get my hands on — from an alright Columbus, Ohio offering to a Seattle brew that asked the question: who puts ginger in a hefeweizen? (A: someone who apparently hates the actual taste of hefeweizens, but likes those Lipton nighttime teas a whole bunch). For the most part, I’ve been disappointed, which is why I’ve been dying to try Moon Under Water’s This is Hefeweizen (5.5 per cent ABV). If there’s a heffe with hype behind it in B.C., it’s this one. So, when Red Beard announced the recent Moon Underwater tap takeover, I was there — and This is Hefeweizen was first on my list of beers to drink. I almost regret attending because it blew so much of what I’ve been stuck with out of the water I’m not sure I can go back. Like Russell Brewing’s White Rabbit, my other fave so far this year, this beer actually features those notes of clove and banana all lesser hefeweizens only promise. Moon is more

RIDER mellow and traditional, with a banana flavour that stays clean and true all the way through the sip, rounded out by those spice notes. Worth a note is Moon’s Berliner Weisse (3.2 per cent ABV), a nice loweralcohol option that reminded me of Tom Collins and whiskey sour drinking days. It’s got a super-light profile and made lateevening patio drinking bearable even in the Kamloops heat. But, here’s the dilemma: Now that I’ve started to fall for this Victoria-based brewery, I have no idea where to find any of what I liked again. While I’ve seen Moon’s stuff for sale locally, it’s only the IPA (whatever) and the dunkel (not a summer option in my books). Kamloops, take pity on a humble beer blogger and stock this stuff outside of onenight events. Find more online at badrider.reviews.
