City parent mulls lawsuit over book

A SCHOOL LEAVES THE CLASSROOM

By Dale Bass

Dave Eagles/KTW

The Kamloops parent who complained about the use of a book in his son’s English 10 class is considering suing the Kamloops-Thompson school district. Dean Audet told KTW that may be his next move after the school district conducted a review and decided to not pull The Perks of Being a Wallflower from its curriculum. Audet said he has consulted with a lawyer who has told him, after reviewing the book, it could meet the legal standard for pornography. “If we go ahead, I can name names and there could be jail time,” Audet said. He declined to identify the lawyer, other than to say he practises in Kamloops and “is not interested in being involved with the media at this point.” The issue began in March, when Audet contacted the school district and local media with his concerns about the book, a coming-of-age novel written in journal format about the issues a new student faces at school. Audet had gone through the book page by page, compiling a list of things he found objectionable, saying the book “is clearly promoting the fact that all of the swearing and immoral behaviour and pornography should be commonplace and acceptable.” His complaint was referred to the district librarian and, he said, a committee of three librarians did the review.

“The last time I looked, it was a librarian’s job to keep books in the library,” Audet said. However, board of education chairwoman Denise Harper said she was told it was a committee of several people, including a parent representative, and not only librarians,

that arrived at the decision to retain the book. After receiving the report, Audet said he called trustees — but declined to identify which ones — who left him with the impression he should go away. “They don’t seem to care,” Audet said. Harper said she is not aware of any trustee speaking with Audet. X See DISPUTED BOOK A20

Oil-spill drill at Pioneer Park tomorrow By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kinder Morgan staff are headed to Pioneer Park on Wednesday, May 14, to learn how to clean oil out of the South Thompson River in the event of a spill from the company’s Trans Mountain pipeline. About 50 people will be involved in the emergency-response drill, which is scheduled to run from about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Rob Hodden, western regional director of operations for Kinder Morgan, said the company plans to deploy a containment boom in the river from the park boat launch, as it would in the event of a real pipeline leak into the South Thompson. “The boom floats in the river and, basically, we can then direct the oil as it comes floating down the river,” Hodden said, “We can direct it into an area where we can

then skim it off the water and direct it into tanks or trucks.” Besides Kinder Morgan personnel, emergency responders and First Nations representatives will also be on hand for the drill. No oil will be released during the exercise. Hodden said the boom will be the most visible element of the drill, but members of the public will also see boats on the river and launching equipment for the boom in Pioneer Park, which it has booked from the city for the day. The company runs multiple drills each year along its Trans Mountain route, which stretches from the Lower Mainland to the Alberta oilfields. Hodden said river scenarios are particularly important to practise because the line runs through or parallel to many river systems in both provinces. “We do a lot of stuff to try and keep the oil in the pipe in the first place and none of us wants

this to happen but, of course, if it does happen, we need to be prepared,” Hodden said. “And we want people to know we’re prepared and we train so, in the event that something really does happen, we know we’ve been out there.” Kinder Morgan is seeking approval for a major expansion of the Trans Mountain line, which would increase the amount of oil and refined products pumped through the line threefold — to 890,000 barrels per day from 300,000 barrels per day. The $5.4-billion project is under review by the National Energy Board, with oral hearings set to begin in 2015. This week, the B.C. government announced it is seeking more information about Kinder Morgan’s spill-prevention and response plans as it prepares its own arguments as to whether the pipeline proposal should be approved or rejected.

We Make Mortgages Easy… Really Easy!

The City of Kamloops is warning the public to be careful around rivers, creeks and streams as levels rise. Elevated levels and fast-moving water is being reported in the smaller tributaries throughout the city, including Peterson Creek, Tranquille Creek and Campbell Creek. “We ask the public to exercise extreme caution around these creeks,” Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Dale McLean said. “Make sure your pets are on leashes and keep away from the water.” McLean noted it doesn’t take much water to overwhelm even the strongest person. In addition to the dangers of increased water flow along creeks, high water flows can cause bank erosion and instability. Ditches and culverts can also prove dangerous with fastmoving water and debris, so caution needs to be taken when approaching ditches and culverts. Anybody coming across an obstructed culvert or ditch within the city boundaries is asled to call 250-8283461.

MP wants First Nations education bill to return By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam @kamloopsthisweek.com

While a federal bill to overhaul onreserve education for First Nations students has been pulled from the House of Commons, Shuswap leaders hope it can be salvaged — and an additional $1.9 billion along with it. Conservative minister Bernard Valcourt said the First Nations Education Act would be removed from consideration in the House of Commons. The move comes after inner turmoil at the Assembly of First Nations, which worked with government on the bill. Its leader, Shawn Atleo, resigned after facing criticism about the bill from many native leaders. That criticism also comes from Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, where leaders rejected the bill designed to give more control and funding to

First Nations education. “Bill C-33 doesn’t really work in favour of First Nations school legislation,” said Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief and tribal council chairman Shane Gottfriedson. “Our nation is really concerned about a number of things in the legislation. “One of the things they talk about is mandating school inspectors appointed by federal authority.” Gottfriedson said that is too bureaucrat and flies in the face of what is supposed to be First Nations governance of their own schools. The bill now in limbo would have required core curriculum taught by schools meet a standard to ensure students can transfer elsewhere. It also dictated minimum attendance records and properly certified teachers. In return, First Nations would be promised nearly $2 billion in funding, with pre-

dictable increases to account for inflation. “There are 30-plus changes we’d like to see within the legislation that would enhance the $1.9-billion spending,” Gottfriedson said. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod said the bill was pulled from consideration by the House of Commons by request of the Assembly of First Nations following Atleo’s resignation. “I’m disappointed because I thought we’d come to a good place with support of Assembly of First Nations and moving forward on an important measure in First Nations education,” McLeod said, noting she is keen to see the measures be re-introduced. “It’s too important not to get some forward momentum. We all know the graduation rates and challenges. We have to move forward for the sake of the children.”

GAIL WALTON Students from Sa-Hali elementary release into Tranquille River salmon fry that began as eggs in their classrooms back in October. Dave Eagles photos/KTW

A school of fish leaves the classroom

FANTASY

BY ANDREA KLASSEN • STAFF REPORTER • ANDREA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM The next time Ridley Best tucks into a piece of salmon, she’ll have a much different perspective on how the fish got to her plate. “When I ate it before, it felt like oh, I’m just eating salmon,” the 12-year-old said. “Now, it’s going to be like it came from a river. They started off as an egg and grew up and ended up in Cooper’s or something.” Students in Ridley’s Grade 5/6 class at South Sa-Hali elementary have spent the past eight months examining how the journey from river to table begins, starting right at conception back in October. “The salmon lady, she brought the eggs and two older salmon, one male and one female,” explained 10-year-old Adam Surgenor. “The eggs came out of the female and the male fertilized them and we put them in our tank.” Around the start of the year, the eggs hatched into alevin — tiny and sticklike with bulging bellies. By May, they had grown to fry, about two inches long and wriggly. On Friday, May 9, students loaded their class fish into a plastic pail and were driven to Tranquille River, where they were to release the little critters into the wild. But, getting the salmon into the river isn’t just a matter of dumping a bucket and running. Because the water housing the salmon tends to warm up on long bus rides, like the one from Sa-Hali to the river northwest of Kamloops Airport, the fry must be gently introduced to the colder river water, which hovers around 6 C. To do that, Ridley, Adam and their 19 classmates clipped themselves onto a safety harness, then

mixed cups of river water with water from the fry transport tank. The cups of tiny fish were then immersed in the rapidly flowing river for about two minutes, giving the fish a final opportunity to adjust before swimming away. “It feels really good,” said Ridley as she dipped her cup into the river. “It’s about having a new life for them and just making sure they’re in a new environment and starting a new family.” Adam took a slightly different vview of the release. “It’s sad because we’ve kknown them for so long,” he ssaid. From here, the fish won’t hhave it quite as easy as they did iin the classroom. “Not many of them survive bbecause of bears and fisherman aand sharks and eagles and stuff oout there,” Adam said. Though students released about 70 fry, he thinks about two will survive to a fishy old age. Salmonid-resource teacher Morgan Whitehouse said 27 classes of Kamloops students spanning all grade levels are set to release fry into the wild this month. While the basics of fish-raising remain the same, Whitehouse said teachers involved in the program use the exercise to teach a variety of concepts, depending on age. For the Sa-Hali students, the program is meant to show kids how plants, animals and humans relate to and impact each other. “They see it through the lens of either humans or salmon now,” Whitehouse said. “They’re thinking less about themselves and more about their impact on the water.”

Polak says B.C. will not bend to recycling holdouts By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS jnagel@blackpress.ca

Several agricultural businesses are vowing to defy MultiMaterial B.C. and refuse to pay into the new package-recycling system. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farmsupply stores, said his firm and other mainly garden suppliers will try to develop their own stewardship program to collect and recycle their packaging in compliance with provincial-government regulations. He said he’s abandoned hope the government might freeze the MMBC system, set to take effect on May 19, and added a court challenge is one option if setting up a separate program proves unworkable. Several letters sent by firms including Eddi’s Wholesale Garden Supplies, Cinnabar Valley Farms and Cobs Breads have gone to government serving notice they won’t comply. McCulloch maintains MMBC

is an illegitimate, unaccountable “monopoly” that businesses have been “coerced” by the province to join because there is no real alternative. Higher fees than are charged by a similar package-and-paper recycling scheme in Ontario is a key complaint. But, Environment Minister Mary Polak said misinformation about the program is rampant in the business community and much of it is coming from McCulloch. “He refuses to listen to the information provided him,” she said, adding Buckerfield’s is likely largely exempt from MMBC fees because most of its products go to farms, not consumers. Likewise, she said, many other businesses wrongly believe their fees will be much higher than is the case, due to either low flat fees or exemptions for all but the largest generators of packaging. Those who want to go their own way can still pursue an alternative stewardship system, Polak said, adding breweries are

advancing their own system and talks are also underway with the newspaper industry. Polak said MMBC can’t be subject to provincial audits — as McCulloch has demanded — because it is not an arm of government, but is regulated and accountable as a non-profit. She said organizations representing dairy farms, landscaping and nursery firms, as well as the B.C. Agriculture Council, are now part of an MMBC advisory council. As for demands for a freeze on the program, Polak said that’s not possible. “We are way too far down the road to be pausing it,” she said. Doing so would stop the rollout of curbside blue box pickup to smaller communities that haven’t had it before, throw into chaos collection arrangements in cities where MMBC is set to take over and block the flow of MMBC payments to most municipalities that will continue as contractors under the new system, she said.

Mayor on MMBC: ‘Another layer of confusion’ Three recycling depots in Kamloops are about to expand their services as Multi-Material B.C.’s (MMBC) new program for recycling paper and packaging rolls out across the province. As of May 19, MMBC will subsidize recycling operations in a number of communities and regional districts across the province as part of an extended producer-responsibility program for packaging and paper products. However, Kamloops isn’t getting any money from the organization, which claims the city didn’t opt into its program at an early enough date. Instead, MMBC managing director Alan Langdon said, three recycling depots in Kamloops — General Grant’s Recycling Centres on the North Shore and in Sahali, and Lorne Street Bottle on Halston Avenue — have been contracted to collect paper waste free of charge on his organization’s behalf. “It’ll be more convenient for the consumer,”

Langdon said. “So, when they’re bringing down their bottles, they can also bring down their plastic film or Styrofoam.” General Grant’s employee Justin Manning told KTW last week the depot he works for is in the midst of reorganizing its operation to make room for many new bins required to accept the various paper products and containers MMBC wishes to collect. “It’s a pretty big expansion, actually,” he said. Though the depots will begin collecting the expanded ranges of items within a week, not everyone has been made aware of the coming changes. Speaking to KTW on Thursday, May 8, Mayor Peter Milobar said he was not aware MMBC had chosen locations for its recycling depots. “I guess it just adds another layer of confusion to the wonderful world of MMBC,” he said.

Did you know you pay to feed MLAs’ relatives in Victoria?

MAGINE YOU MAKE $100,000 per year, plus perks, and, on top of sitting among the rarefied ranks of the 10 per cent wealthiest Canadians, you get 12 grand to do with what you like — no questions asked. If you are an MLA outside of cabinet in B.C., there is no need to imagine that above scenario. If you are an MLA, you are living that dream. Thanks to the tenacious reporting of the Vancouver Sun’s Rob Shaw, we are learning more details about the questionable living-allowance program for MLAs when they are in Victoria on business. Shaw obtained a confidential costbenefit analysis that found taxpayers could save money if MLAs in Victoria on business stayed in hotels, rather than be given that $12,000 annual housing allowance to rent or purchase property. (While in Victoria, cabinet ministers have their housing allowances paid for by their respective ministries.) What boggles the mind is the fact MLAs are handed the $12,000, but not required to submit any form of evidence it was spent on housing. Theoretically, an MLA could crash on a buddy’s couch while in the capital and pocket the $12,000, which would fund a terrific vacation — or two or three — every year. According to the living-allowance program, MLAs have three options to cover their stays in Victoria: $19,000 annual allowance for which they must submit mortgage or rental documentation; the $12,000 no-questions-asked payment; or $17,000 for hotel stays, with receipts required. Not surprisingly, 41 of the 78

MLAs eligible for the program choose the $12,000 option, according to the report obtained by Shaw. Here’s the catch: In B.C., the legislature is not often in session. Today (May 13) will mark the 41st day the legislature is in session with year. There was no session in January and the spring session is scheduled to end on May 29, after which there will be four long months — June, July, August and September (coincidentally, the four best months of the year, weather-wise) during which the legislature will not sit. Imagine the Shuswap cabin that can be had for $12,000 during peak season? In the fall, the legislature is scheduled to sit for just 24 days in October and November, with December being another fallow month. So, in 2013, the legislature will likely sit for a grand total of 71 days, which is not much more than usual as the legislature has not sat for more than 67 days in any one year in the past six years. As one commenter online so aptly pointed out, the government of the day is of the opinion those on socialassistance payments can pay rent and

utilities for $375 per month. If that is the case, then wouldn’t our MLAs, while in Victoria on business, be fine with about $600 a year? Shaw also brought to light the $61 per day meal allowance given to spouses, kids and grandchildren of MLAs who are visiting Victoria. Why on earth relatives of men and women making an extremely good wage are being paid by taxpayers to dine out in Victoria remains a mystery, though it should be noted Finance Minister Michael de Jong voted against retaining that luxury, while Bruce Ralston, house leader of the NDP, voted in favour of retaining the gift for MLA visitors. As of today, that benefit remains. Even more disturbing is the fact the housing study, despite being debated publicly, was retroactively deemed secret by legislature staff, based on a new policy adopted earlier this year. If that odd policy doesn’t raise concerns about democracy and open government, nothing else will. Not only are MLAs and their families dining and living on your dime, they have the temerity to employ a political time machine and retroactively erase mention of the debate. This doesn’t quite square with Premier Christy Clark’s vision when she was running for the B.C. Liberal leadership. Back then, in January 2011, Clark called for more open government (she vowed to hold 12 town-hall meetings a year to hear from residents). “The reality is that voters feel a disconnect with their government,” Clark said then. She might say the same now. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Docs show how to walk your way to good health One small step for men and women in Kamloops and elsewhere in B.C. could turn into larger steps for people everywhere — and at any age. The Tournament Capital last week once again hosted the Walk With Your Doc event, which is designed to get people of all ages up and get moving. A B.C. Medical Association initiative, Walk With Your Doc is primarily an education program. Local doctors encourage their patients to be as active as they can, no matter their age. As long as they can safely move, walking or other forms of activity can keep a body healthy — more so than leading a sedentary lifestyle. The Walk With Your Doc event at McArthur Island was only a short stroll, but it was one of many activities that one can do throughout a typical day to add steps to the routine. The Doctors of B.C. (formerly known as the B.C. Medical Association) through Walk With Your Doc encourage people to take 10,000 steps each day. An active adult, they point out, takes 10,000 steps from morning until night and, if reaching that goal sounds tough, they have suggestions. Choose stairs over elevators, park farther away from a store, take the dog for a walk or go for a walk after an evening meal. They all add up. It’s a series of small steps leading to big lifestyle change. There are many benefits to one’s health by simply getting out and walking — and it’s not just physical health. Sleep quality improves, stress is reduced, blood pressure is lowered and there are more chances to socialize and feel connected to others. These are the benefits of increased activity. Once a body sets out on that path, and sticks with it, health improves and can stay very good until well into the senior years. Better to spend those days getting up and active rather than confined to a bed or chair.

STOP TRASHING THE CITY

Editor: I would like to comment on how much garbage people throw in the parking spaces behind Desert Gardens apartments downtown, where I live. I am new to Kamloops and can’t believe the number of people who throw their garbage on the ground. It’s disgusting! William Wilson Kamloops

Response from Stone lacking Editor: Although I no longer live in Kamloops, what I have to say may interest those who do. It concerns Todd Stone, the minister of transportation and MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson. At the end of last year, I wrote to Stone. TODD My letter STONE concerned fare increases and service cuts to the ferry that serves the island on which I live. Stone has responsibilities for that ferry. I fully understand ferry-cost increases and service reductions may not be of burning interest to Kamloops residents.

But, the treatment of my letter may be. In it, I requested a substantive reply to seven questions. And I very specifically requested I not receive predigested nonanswers from Stone’s communications staff. Three-and-ahalf months later, I received a brief e-mail reply. (I had written a four-page letter that I had sent by ordinary mail.) The “reply” was a stock answer from Stone’s communications staff. It addressed none of my questions and it was clear my letter had not been read.

Because they do not concern Kamloops, I will not elaborate on my questions. However, someone with all the resources of a government minister should be able to ensure a reasoned response to considered and substantive questions. If Stone cannot, then it would seem a good time for his constituents to ask whether they will receive the same dismissive arrogance from him as an MLA. And, for the benefit of all of the rest of us, perhaps they should consider sending someone else to Victoria next time. Ted Hayes Granite Bay

Happy with Hope for Henry response Editor: Thank you so much for promoting the Hope for Henry fundraiser at Valleyview Cooper’s Foods on Sunday, May 11.

On Ajax, let’s have just the facts, man

Editor: Re: The April 9 letter from Dr. Dennis Karpiak (‘Would Ajax happen in Kelowna?’): Karpiak stated that “the Ajax conversation would not even be taking place in Kelowna.” Respectfully, I disagree. If, say, an NI 43-101 certified prospect of copper and gold nearby materialized, estimating a 23-year life expectancy, and then a world-sized mining operation invested (like KGHM), it would apply for the necessary approvals, forcing “the conversation.” The NI 43-101 compliance was the carrot in front of the horse’s nose within Kamloops that brought in KGHM investment. That’s the law of attraction regarding the mining industry in action. KGHM’s proposed Ajax mine south of Aberdeen has NI 43-101 compliance proven (estimated for 23 years) and, if the company can meet and/or exceed the B.C. environmental requirements and be approved, I would wish KGHM all the best. Equally, I would wish any new and local employer all the best. After all, who wouldn’t welcome the boom to our local economy? I have plenty of patience until the environmental review is in and time will certainly tell the tale of the tape. Keep in mind federal Minister of Environment Leona Aglukkaq stated the proposed Ajax mine doesn’t need a federal review. This is the same federal department that twice rejected the Taseko Prosperity mine proposal near Williams Lake. Therefore, I’d say our Canadian safeguards for the protection of our environment seem to working, as they should. Aglukkaq had praised our provincial Environmental Assessment Office and our Ministry of Environment as being adequate. The vast majority of undecided people within Kamloops are awaiting the environmental reviews. That’s what sensible people do. They do not attempt to put all the pieces of the puzzle together without all the pieces. After all, why would one sound the alarm with foregone conclusions and speculation before knowing the facts? Doing so seems inappropriate. Les Evens Kamloops

Nothing replaces good health Editor: Re: The April 9 letter from Dr. Dennis Karpiak (‘Would Ajax happen in Kelowna?’): I would like to thank Karpiak for his excellent letter laying out the extremely negative impact the proposed Ajax mine would have on our community. There is nothing that can replace the good health and quality of life that will be lost if this proposal is allowed to proceed. Susan Beauchamp Kamloops

Police save Mother’s Day A Kamloops family enjoyed Mother’s Day, thanks to a special delivery from the Kamloops RCMP. In the early-morning hours of Saturday, May 10 — one day before Mother’s Day — police responded to a complaint from a witness who had interrupted a thief breaking into their vehicle on the North Shore. While Mounties were unable to find the thief, an officer found a backpack nearby while searching the area. The backpack contained an elementaryschool book, clothing and a Mother’s Day card and present. While the school book contained the student’s name, police were faced with the challenge of finding the owner in time for Mother’s Day — which would arrive in

Eyes of neighbours lead to man’s two-year driving ban

CUT DOWN YOUR POWERWoman thwarts mugger in Sahali BILL By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Licence-plate scanners may be the RCMP’s best tool to find prohibited drivers, but it was old-fashioned tattling by neighbours that got a Scotch Creek driver off the road for at least two years. On Monday, May 12, in Kamloops provincial court, Gerry Kruks pleaded guilty to three counts of driving while prohibited. “There’s not a heavy police presence [in North Shuswap] to monitor drivers,” Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said. “But, community

members, including neighbours, called police. “It’s no secrete he’s [Kruks] bound by driving prohibitions.” In each case, Scotch Creek residents saw the retired heavy-equipment operator driving last year on SquilaxAnglemont Road and reported him to police. The 75-year-old Kruks, a longtime resident of Scotch Creek, has been convicted three times of driving while impaired. He has also been handed driving bans under immediate roadside-prohibition laws. Despite that driving record, Balison said,

Kamloops Mounties are hoping tips from the public will help them track down a suspect following an attempted mugging in Sahali. RCMP Staff Sgt. Fran Bethell said a woman was waiting for a bus on Columbia Street near Greenstone Drive at about 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, when she was approached by a man with a knife. Bethell said the man demanded the woman turn over her cellphone, which she had in her hands, as well as her purse. “The suspect grabbed the purse, the woman hung onto it while the suspect pulled,” Bethell said. “The victim screamed for help, refusing to let go of her purse. The suspect ran off down Columbia withthe items.” ® ENERGY STAR appliances outBethell said the woman was shakwill save you money on your en, but uninjured. The victim then flagged down a

electricity bill and between May 1 – 31, 2014 you can get up to a $100 rebate on select ENERGY STAR refrigerators and clothes washers. Find out which models qualify at powersmart.ca/appliances.

Kruks has not been convicted in past for driving while prohibited. The Crown asked for $3,000 in fines and a five-year driving ban. Defence lawyer Kevin Church argued for a lesser driving ban, in the one- to two-year range. Provincial court Judge Stella Frame told Kruks if he drives again, he will be going to jail. “You can’t continue to drive because you live in an isolated area and thumb your nose at the law,” she said. Frame handed Kruks a $3,000 fine and twoyear driving ban.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. � Meanwhile, a man facing a robbery charge after a holdup this month at a Sahali drug store is set to make his first court appearance. Joseph Welsh, who was at one time listed as a prolific offender by the Kamloops RCMP, is slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, May 15. He is accused of robbing Shoppers Drug Mart on May 1 by using an aerosol can as a weapon. The robber demanded money, but took electronic equipment instead.

Accused smuggler ordered extradited to United States By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Shuswap man alleged by American authorities to have been the kingpin of a cross-border drug-smuggling ring will be sent to the U.S. to stand trial on conspiracy charges. In B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Friday, May 9, Colin Martin was committed for extradition to Seattle, where American prosecutors have charged him with conspiracy to traffic in marijuana, cocaine and MDMA. There is a mandatory 30-day waiting period before surrender. Martin was taken into custody following Justice William Ehrcke’s decision, but he is eligible to apply for bail. Martin’s lawyer, Eric Purtzki, said a decision on a potential appeal of the extradition order has not yet been made. “I am satisfied that the evidence . . . discloses a case that would qualify for his committal to trial in Canada,” Ehrcke said in his decision. “I order that he be committed into custody to prepare for surrender.” The two-day extradition hearing heard a summary of the evidence American authorities have on Martin, who is from Malakwa, and his alleged involvement in a large-scale drugtrafficking ring that saw marijuana and MDMA shipped by helicopter to remote locations in northern Idaho and Washington state in exchange for cocaine, money and firearms. U.S. authorities allege Martin would hire people in B.C. to load the helicopters with as much as $5-million worth of marijuana or MDMA, then pay pilots to fly the choppers to pre-determined

locations across the U.S.-Canada border. The haul of B.C. bud or pills would allegedly be unloaded by a ground crew in the U.S., and cocaine, firearms and money would be loaded into the helicopter for transport back to Canada. According to federal Crown prosecutor Andrew Majawa, Martin’s crews made approximately three cross-border trips every two weeks. The smuggling operation is linked to the February 2009 death of Samuel Lindsay-Brown. The 24-year-old Nelson native was piloting one of the choppers linked to the smuggling ring and was arrested after landing with 400 pounds of marijuana in Washington state. He later hanged himself in a Spokane jail cell. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency investigation into the operation resulted in multiple arrests on both sides of the border. According to U.S. court documents, Martin offered in 2009 to make a deal with the DEA that would see him roll on other smugglers in exchange for the opportunity to continue his trafficking business unimpeded for 10 years. Authorities said they did not accept his offer. In March, Martin pleaded guilty in a Salmon Arm courtroom to unrelated charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking dating back to 2010. He is due back in court on May 29 to set a date for sentencing. In 2006, Martin was sentenced to serve two-and-a-half years behind bars after being convicted of Canadian charges stemming from another crossborder drug-smuggling ring.

Trash bash at TRU set for Thursday morning The public is welcome to come to Thompson Rivers University — and help pick up trash. The 17th annual Trash Bast on campus, sponsored by the department of environment and sustainability, will be held on Thursday, May 15, starting at 9 a.m., rain or shine. Co-ordinator James Gordon said interest is keen this year. Last year saw 45 volunteers sign up. This year, 105 participants are getting ready to put on some gloves, grab some bags and pick-up sticks and do their part. That total already tops the goal of 100 trash-bashers. People need to register today (May 13) to take part. Email jgordon@tru.ca to do so or for more information. Gordon can also be reached at 250-8527173.

Scientific minds gather at TRU

Dozens of Chemistry 11 students from Kamloops and surrounding areas will be on the Thompson Rivers University main campus on Wednesday, May 14, for the annual TRU Chemistry Contest and hands-on exercise. The 50 students representing eight high schools will also analyze an antiseptic component of mouthwash during the always popular laboratory component. Students from Salmon Arm and Williams Lake are also scheduled to attend. The contest has been running since 1997 and has grown to include the entire province. On the same day, more than 3,000 Chemistry 11 and 12 students will be writing the contest in their schools. The hands-on analysis is only for those students at TRU. “We are really excited with the interest and enthusiasm on the part of all the teachers who involve their students,” said Doug Bickley, a faculty member with TRU Chemistry and one of the

organizers of the event. There will be at least two new aspects this year, with one being the awarding of prizes for the lab exercise and the other being the participation of Chongquing Maple Leaf International High School in China and five of its students. The top overall students writing the contest will receive prizes, as will the top finishers at each school. Results for the written portion will be available near the end of May or in early June.

Kamloops Food Policy Council presents . . .

The Kamloops Food Policy Council will give a public presentation on agriculture- and food-system planning initiatives in Kamloops on Wednesday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m. at Mt. Paul United Church, 140 Laburnum St. in North Kamloops. A pot-luck dinner at 5:45 p.m. will also be held. Shannon Hardman, the city’s sustainabilityprogram co-ordinator, and Camen Mazzotta, the city’s social and community-development supervisor, will speak on the subject, explaining the difference between the plans, what the outcomes should be with the agricultural-area plan and what the status of both is now.

More food options could be headed to the North Shore and downtown after a public hearing at Kamloops City Hall tonight (May 13) on whether to allow mobile food trucks in more parts of the city. Up for debate is a package of zoning and bylaw changes that would allow the trucks to operate in parks, light-industrial zones, the downtown core and more commercial areas. If it passes, the city

Purring wounded need TLC, medical care is on strict kennel rest, as the veterinarian is hopeful the bone will mend. “But if the bone doesn’t heal, she will need the leg amputated,” Holloway said. “Pascha is such a sweet girl. She’s very curious, but she’s had such a tough start to her life. “From getting lost before she was even old enough to be away from her mother to breaking her leg on a laptop, we think this little baby deserves a second start to a better life.” Wesley, found in the middle of a busy road and surrendered to the SPCA, requires femoral head excision surgery, where part of the bone is removed. “Although he’s in a lot of pain and likely pretty scared, Wesley hasn’t stopped purring since he came to the

Two curious cats at the Kamloops SPCA need a lot of love — and medical care. Pascha, an eightweek-old female kitten, may need an amputation after an unfortunate accident, while Wesley, an affectionate one-year-old, has a pelvic fracture and a dislocated right leg. Because medical costs add up and could easily exceed $1,000, the Kamloops BC SPCA shelter staff are hoping the public will help with the bill. “Pascha was placed in a foster home until she grew older, but she’s a bit of a klutzy kitten and had an unfortunate run-in with a laptop that left her with a right femur fracture,” branch manager Charleen Holloway said. “It’s difficult to put a splint on such a small kitten, so this tiny girl

Police off the hook after murder By James Keller

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Two officers who decided not to immediately warn a pregnant woman that her boyfriend may have been looking for a hit man to kill her in the days before she was murdered won’t be investigated by British Columbia’s police-complaint commissioner, theB.C. Court of Appeal has ruled. The court released a ruling on Monday, May 12, overturning the complaint commissioner’s decision to launch a formal investigation into the conduct of Det. Const. Craig Bentley and Staff Sgt. John Grywinski after concluding the commissioner missed an important deadline by more than a month. Bentley received a tip on Nov. 17, 2005, from a confidential informant who claimed a man named Amjad Khan offered him money to kill his girlfriend, 21-year-old Tasha Rossette. Bentley shared the information with Grywinski, who was his supervisor, and the pair decided to investigate the threat before approaching Rossette. By the time they went to Rossette’s home on Nov. 22, she was

already dead. She had been stabbed 40 times and her throat was slit on Nov. 20 — three days after the officers received the tip. Khan has since been convicted of first-degree murder. Rossette’s mother filed a complaint, alleging the officers failed in their duties when they didn’t warn Rossette about the threat. The Vancouver Police Department’s professional standards section dismissed the complaint in March 2009. More than two months later, the province’s police-complaint commissioner issued an order that it was in the public interest to reopen the case. Khan and an alleged accomplice, Naim Saghir, were charged in Rossette’s murder. The Crown alleged at trial that Khan hired Saghir to kill Rossette because she was pregnant with his child and refused to have an abortion. Khan and Saghir were each found guilty in 2008, but those convictions were overturned on appeal. After a second trial last year, Khan was convicted of first-degree murder, but a judge concluded the Crown failed to prove Saghir was the killer and found him not guilty.

Dive team searches for three THE CANADIAN PRESS

NELSON — An RCMP dive team is searching a lake in the Kooeneys for the bodies of three males as the grieving residents of New Denver brace themselves for more bad news. Sgt. Darryl Little said eight divers entered the water on Monday, May 12, in hopes of finding the bodies after a canoe flipped over on Slocan Lake. Emergency crews were called to the lake on Saturday, May 10, where they found a 19-year-old unconscious in the canoe and rushed her to hospital. Lily Harmer-Taylor died and the air and

ground search for the males has turned up no clues of their whereabouts. The missing are 15-year-old Jule Wiltshire-Padfield, 21-year-old Hayden Kyle and 19-year-old Skye Donnet. “The community is very devastated,’’ Little said. “They are a tightknit community, so they’re leaning on each other for support and trying to weather through this terrible tragedy.’’ Mayor Ann Bunka of the village of New Denver is thanking search and rescue crews for their efforts and said residents are focusing on supporting the fami-

lies and friends of the four canoeists. “This is a close-knit community that rallies together in times of need, and never has this been more apparent,’’ she said. “The outpouring of assistance to do whatever is needed is a trademark of this community and, at times of loss, is a reminder of why we live here.’’ Grief counsellors are available at the village high school, where one of the canoeists was to graduate in a few weeks. Police have said the canoeists were not wearing life jackets, and the water is so frigid they would not have survived in it for long.

UN to look at tracking Ukrainian military personnel sanctioned after missing airline THE CANADIAN PRESS

By Peter Rakobowchuk THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Spurred by the crash of a Malaysian airliner in March, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) held a special meeting on Monday, May 12, to look at the global tracking of airline flights. The UN agency that governs civil aviation was expected to come up with a number of recommendations by the end of its meeting today (May 13), when a news conference is scheduled. The ICAO and the International Air Transport Association are looking at better airline-flight tracking, with both global organizations hoping to collaborate in the short term on voluntary actions. The ICAO has looked at the issue before. A background paper noted a high-level safety conference in 2010 discussed situations where accidents occurred over the high seas, including the crash of Air France flight AF 447 a year earlier. The Paris-Rio de Janeiro flight crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 people aboard the Airbus. After the tragedy, France’s accident-investigation bureau recommended the ICAO study the possibility of making it mandatory for aircraft on public flights to regularly transmit basic flight information like position, altitude, speed and heading. The ICAO conference noted there had been instances where an airliner went missing for a prolonged period of time without any trace of its whereabouts, but that most of those incidents were resolved without consequences. The conference concluded there was a need to improve communications over oceans and remote areas as well as search-and-rescue procedures. It also called for a revision of cockpit procedures. It noted that other industries like the maritime sector were already using technologies that allowed them to track their global assets. Questionnaires were also sent out after the Air France crash to companies that sell systems and applications that could support tracking of aircraft around the world.

OTTAWA — A dozen people have been added to the list of those being sanctioned by Canada over the crisis in Ukraine. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said six Russians and six people from Ukraine will face economic consequences for their part in helping Russia violate Ukrainian sovereignty. The Russians being

said Russia’s occupation of Ukraine and its provocative military actions remain a serious concern to the international community. The United States and other countries have imposed similar sanctions against dozens of people. Last week, Moscow said it would retaliate by placing individual Canadians and U.S. citizens on a blacklist. No names are public.

added to the list include Valery Vasilevich Gerasimov, Russia’s armed forces chief of the general staff, and Igor Girkin, a member of the military’s main intelligence directorate. Ukrainians now facing sanctions include Olga Fedorovna Kovatidi, a member of the Russian Federation Council from the annexed Crimean region. The prime minister

Quebec told to hire youth and unemployed THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney said Quebec just has to hire its own youth and unemployed instead of relying on temporary foreign workers. Quebec wants an exemption to a federal moratorium so restaurants in the province can hire such workers. Kenney told the House of Commons on Monday, May 12, that the moratorium was imposed to protect Canadians looking for work.

The federal minister pointed out that 14 per cent of Quebec youth are unemployed, as are 20 per cent of new arrivals to the province. Ottawa announced the moratorium in late April after reports suggested the program was being abused by the food-service industry. A spokesman for Quebec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil said on the weekend the province has no problem with the program and that restaurants need temporary foreign workers to keep operating.

GRACE HERRINGER Grace Herringer, 96 years old, born December 8, 1917, Kamloops, BC, passed away, suddenly and without illness on May 6, 2014. Although Grace was in good physical health, during the past two years she was fortunate to have the laughter and friendship of many people at Ponderosa Lodge; she went there for respite, socialization in the Day Program, and the excellent care of Dr. Howie and physical therapists who treated her in the Convalescent Care Unit for her osteoporosis. Grace raised her family in the North Thompson and Kamloops areas and has been a long-time resident of Kamloops. Grace first and foremost loved being a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. Grace was predeceased by infant son (Kenneth) and grandson (Eldon); two sisters: Margaret Audette and Blanche Krohn and four brothers: Frank, Harry, George and Casey Blomme. Grace is survived by five children Gladys Matuga, Lois Matuga (William), George Doonan (Norma), Mary Doonan, Carolyn Doonan (Martin Ketteringham) 15 grandchildren: Linda McCulloch, Cindy Matuga (Chris), Lee Matuga; Cheri Matuga-Borstel (Lorne Borstel), Blaine Matuga (Brenda) , Denise Swoboda (Mark), Kevin Matuga (Ali); Candace Goss (Dave); Kenneth Degen (Renaye) and Patricia Swoboda (John); Tianna Brittian (Ray), Hayley Belton (Kyle), Charis Anderson (Andrew); Joel Doonan-Ketteringham, Tobias Doonan-Ketteringham. 24 great-grandchildren: Linda’s children: Natasha, Saxon, Mica; Cindy’s children: Mckay and Riley; Cheri’s child: Karis; Blaine’s children: Lindsey and Colton; Denise’s children: Sean, Jordan and Kennedy; Kevin’s children: Max and Chase; Candace’s children: Brittany and Kayla; Patricia’s children: Mckenzie and Dawson; Kenneth’s children: KaSara, Kayden and Keenan; Tianna’s children: Jesse and Jonas; Hayley’s son: Oliver; Charis’s son: Josiah Grace had many beloved nieces and nephews and all will mourn her loss but remember her kindness toward them. Throughout her life, Grace was a woman of compassion and principle, hard work and relentless energy. Her current passions included: caring for others, spending time with family and her close friends, Eva, Margaret, and Edna, delighting in the beauty of nature, watching baseball (especially ‘the Jays’, curling, and casino shows), drinking a ‘good’ cup of strong coffee with her special friend, Linda Fraser, who visited often and made Grace’s life wonderful and filled with love. There are too many others to name but each of you know who you are and the family appreciates how generous and kind you were to Grace throughout the years she lived in the downtown core of Kamloops. For instance, Candy, the Handy Dart driver, added nothing but joy to Gracie’s life since the two crossed paths and began to dance! Grace’s formative years were spent on a ranch 20 miles south of Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. She rode horse-back to school and loved playing softball. When she was 13 years old, she spent a year in Belgium, the homeland of her parents, Oliver and Julma Blomme. As a young woman, Grace was scouted for the Saskatchewan provincial women’s softball team, was offered a chance to play softball in Madison Square Gardens, and she turned down an offer to work in India. Grace enjoyed dressing up and going out; she also loved walking, dancing, and playing cards. She was a valuable employee who worked extremely hard as a professional cook for threshing crews, rodeos, logging camps; and many years at Hoopy Lake Fishing Resort. Following retirement, Grace was a volunteer at Royal Inland Hospital and at the Kamloops Blazers Hockey games. She participated in community events and did the MS Walk when she was over 80 years old! All in all, Grace was a very well-known and well-loved downtown Kamloops citizen. A “Celebration of the Life of Grace” will be begin at 1:00 on May 24, at Hotel 540, 540 Victoria St., Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, please donate, in Grace’s memory, to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Nothing gave him more pleasure than time with his family especially his grandchildren. He was an avid gardener, spending endless hours maintaining a yard that made many passers-by stop and comment or even take pictures. If he wasn’t in the garden you would find him at a soccer field or hockey rink watching his grandchildren. Nonno would play whatever the grandchidren asked - hockey, board games or puzzles, it didn’t matter. Dad dedicated his life to his family. One could not find a more caring and unselfish man. He always put others ahead of himself. Even during his last days and hours he was more concerned that everyone else was okay. We would like to express our gratitude to all the nurses and doctors at the Royal Inland Hospital Intensive Care Unit and 7th Floor. Their support and care for dad was more than what we could have asked for. In lieu of flowers, donations in Silvano’s name may be made to the ALS Society of BC online at http:// www.alsbc.ca/donate. A Funeral Mass for Silvano will be held at 11:00am on Thursday, May 15th, 2014, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, with Reverend Father Peter Hoan Nguyen Celebrant.

Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneral service.com

“Found” pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story . He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angels tossed to you.

Charles L. Mashburn

Diane Robertson

Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.

Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.

Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.

Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.

Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.

Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.

Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.

Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

May 13, 2013 M

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping We have you in our heart.

I found a penny today Just lying on the ground But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found.

June 12, 1950April 23, 2014 It is with great sadness, that Peter’s family must announce his passing on April 23, 2014 at the ripe age of 63. A wonderful man will be missed by many great people.

COVER PAGE STORY

Disputed book deals with issues facing teenager X From A1

The book has been approved for use in grades 9 to 12 by the province’s Education Resource Acquisition Consortium (ERAC), the body that evaluates curriculum materials and makes the information available to school districts in the provide. ERAC’s operations manager, Sherry Kallergis, told KTW in March the book had been approved by an evaluation committee appointed by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation because it would be a source for “rich discussion” on safety, gender issues, journalling and other issues students face.

The protagonist — and journal writer — in the book deals with situations at school involving pre-marital sex, drugs, threats, violence, smoking, lying, abortion, mental health and a general feeling of inadequacy. The Criminal Code of Canada defines an obscene publication as “any publication a dominant characteristic of which is the undue exploitation of sex, or of sex and any one or more of the following subjects, namely, crime, horror, cruelty and violence.” There is a separate section defining child pornography that includes “(b) any written material, visual representa-

tion or audio recording that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the age of eighteen years that would be an offence under this Act.” Audet’s son brought the book to his attention in March when it was being studied in his son’s English 10 class. When Audet contacted the school, his son was allowed to study another book. Audet could not recall which one was chosen. He said his son had worried about the attention being drawn to the book by his father, but found his classmates supportive and praising him for taking a stand.

TRU’s jump to CIS might affect Heat By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

RE LEAN YEARS on the horizon for the Kamloops Heat? The answer to that question depends on which side of the soccer ball you stand. Heat women’s head coach Kelly Shantz is waiting to see what effect, if any, moving The Beautiful Game at Thompson Rivers University to the ranks of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) will have on both his team and the men’s Heat squad, both of which play in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Premier Division. Shantz, formerly an assistant coach with the WolfPack women, said playing in the CIS might require TRU to depend more on imported recruits than homegrown talent, which would have a trickle-down effect on soccer in the Tournament Capital. The Heat have traditionally filled their roster with university players who are in the city for the off-season and are looking to stay sharp and fit with summer play. Shantz wonders if a greater emphasis on out-of-town recruits will mean fewer local players with university experience in Kamloops for the PCSL’s summer season. “Actually, you know what, it

could end up — and I’m completely OK with this, it’s just the way it is — it’s probably a detriment to my team,” Shantz told KTW. “I knew back when I was coaching, and I’m sure the program does now, they’re going to have to recruit. They’re going to have to bring people in from outside. Kamloops will not be able to supply the bodies needed to stock a competitive CIS team on an ongoing basis. “They’re going to have to look to outside communities — get a Calgary player and a Vancouver player. I think there are a couple Ontario kids coming out this year, I saw in the announcements. That’s a natural part of the progression to the CIS.” Kamloops products have traditionally dominated soccer at TRU — and at Cariboo College and, before that, at the University College of the Cariboo. The 2013 women’s WolfPack featured 11 Kamloops players on an active roster of 24 and a 12th player, from nearby Ashcroft, joined the team. One of four redshirts (players who practise and train with the team but don’t play in games, thus not using one of their five years of playing eligibility) was from Kamloops. On the men’s side, the numbers are less staggering, with only eight of 23 players calling the River City home. Already, Tom McManus, head coach of the WolfPack’s women’s

Goalkeeper Taylor Shantz dives to make a save for the Kamloops Heat in Pacific Coast Soccer League women’s Premier Division play last season at Hillside Stadium. The Heat’s head coach, Kelly Shantz, is worried his team might suffer because of the TRU WolfPack’s jump to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranks. KTW file photo

team, has signed midfielder Ciara Ambrose of Aurora, Ont., and defender Christine Fergin from Waterloo, Ont. But, he has also signed Kamloops product Sarah Seebach, who had left the Tournament Capital to play in the CIS for the Carelton Ravens in Ottawa. The WolfPack bench boss, who is entering his sixth season, doesn’t think the Heat will be hurt by the university’s newfound athletic designation. “I don’t think it will have a major impact. The majority of [WolfPack] players are still from town here,” McManus said. Heather Lloyd was about to set up a “I have picked up a couple girls goal for the Kamloops Heat when KTW from Ontario, but the majority of reporter Adam Williams snapped this the girls are still around here and, picture on Saturday, May 10, at Hillside realistically, I think the Heat will Stadium. Kamloops downed the Mid-Isle still be very, very strong.” 1645 East Kent Highlanders of Nanaimo 4-0 inAvenue Pacific North, Coast Soccer League play. McManus said the Kamloops Vancouver

Lace up for someone you love

Youth Soccer Association has a number of talented players coming down the pipeline — citing teams at the under-14 and under16 levels — and he sees the city’s dominance of the WolfPack’s roster continuing. He also said playing in the CIS might help TRU retain local talent. Players who may have once left the Tournament Capital in hopes of playing against the best competition university soccer has to offer may be more apt to stay home. They might be able to lure athletes back, like Seebach, who once left for greener pastures. Shantz will work to keep the Heat competitive, regardless of what the future holds, and is confident the university, the KYSA and the Heat can work through any challenges that may arise. “If we can all get working on that same page, I think there can be enough bodies and expertise for everybody,” he said.

Earning the split

The Heat women opened their PCSL season with a pair of games on the weekend. Hometown Kamloops blanked the Mid-Isle Highlanders of Nanaimo 4-0 at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, May 10, but fell 2-1 to Total Soccer Systems Academy (TSSA) in Richmond on Sunday, May 11. Scoring goals for Kamloops on the weekend were Taylor Miller (2), Jodi Hutton, Brianna Powrie and Kelsey Martin. Shantz posted the clean sheet on Saturday. The Heat women are next scheduled to play on June 1, when TSSA is in town. Game time is 2:30 p.m. on McArthur Island. Kamloops’ men were expected to open their season at Hillside on Saturday, but the match against Coquitlam was postponed. Coquitlam, citing other club commitments, requested the game be rescheduled.

28th ANNIVERSARY SALE!

Up-and-down weekend for RiverDogs It was a tale of two days for the midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs in B.C. Minor Baseball Association play on Vancouver Island. Kamloops posted two wins in a doubleheader against Victoria on Saturday, May 10, but followed with a pair of losses against Chilliwack on Sunday, May 11.

Keiffer Johnson, Conrad Belliveau and Alex Demishkevich led the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club (KCKC) with strong results at the Slawko Fedechko Season Opener Regatta in Maple Ridge earlier this month. The KCKC paddlers will be on the water again this weekend when time trials for the Thompson-Okanagan regional team are held at Shumway Lake. The team selected will com-

pete at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo in July. The trials will be held on Saturday, May 17, and Sunday, May 18. At this early stage of the season, the club is still looking for new members to join and participate in spring and summer programming. For more information, go online to kamloopscanoeandkayakclub.ca.

John Huntley, the academy’s head instructor, will also be in attendance.

No luck against Irish

The hometown Armstrong Shamrocks cruised to a 15-8 win over the Kamloops Rattlers in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League play on Friday, May 9. With the loss, the senior C Rattlers dropped

to 1-3 on the campaign. Scoring goals for Kamloops in a losing cause on Friday were Nathan Woldum (2), Mark Jurista (2), Curtis McIntosh, Russ McIntosh, Devon Larsen and J.J. Woldum. Mark Larsen was between the pipes for the Rattlers. Kamloops is hosting the Kelowna Raiders at Memorial Arena on May 23.

Shutting them out

The Mets earned a victory over the Braves in Kamloops Minor Baseball Association mosquito division play on the weekend. Pitching was key as Tyler Dhaliwal struck out three in the third inning, while Nick Bradley struck out five in the last two innings. Hudson Doll went 2-for-3 at the plate and had a triple. Tate Jones also went 2-for-3 at the dish. For More Sports Briefs Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com

St. Louis’ heroics helped force tonight’s Game 7 By Ira Podell

ASSOCIATED PRESS

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

NEW YORK — If Martin St. Louis wasn’t a fan favourite during his first two months with the New York Rangers, he certainly became one during a very emotional weekend. St. Louis came to New York in March in a deal in which popular team captain Ryan Callahan was shipped to Tampa Bay. When he didn’t light up the scoreboard right away, the Madison Square Garden crowd was slow to warm to him. That all changed on Mother’s Day. Three days after the sudden death of his mother, St. Louis scored at 3:34 of the first period and the hometown Rangers avoided elimination for the second straight game by beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 on

Sunday, May 11. Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series is tonight (May 13) in Pittsburgh. Game time is 4 p.m. Meanwhile, the Chicago Blackhawks, up 3-2 on the Minnesota Wild, look to close out their Western Conference semifinal series tonight in St. Paul, Minn. The puck drops at 6 p.m. Under head coach Dan Bylsma, the Penguins are 1-7 at home when having a chance to clinch a series. Overall, the Penguins are 2-6 in Game 7s in Pittsburgh. On the flip side, the Rangers are 9-2 in their past 11 games when facing elimination, dating to Game 6 of the first round in 2012 at Ottawa. New York has never won a series it trailed 3-1 and has never beaten the Penguins in the playoffs. St. Louis rejoined his team-

mates for Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Friday, May 9, after a quick trip to Montreal to be with his family. That dedication inspired his teammates during a 5-1 win and carried over to Sunday. “It’s probably one of the cooler things I’ve been a part of in my professional career,’’ said Derek Stepan, who earned the first assist on St. Louis’ goal. “The emotion on that goal is something that I will never forget.’’ Fans were already chanting “Mar-ty, Mar-ty’’ on his first shift. The cheers got louder after he scored. St. Louis, the first star of the game, patted his heart when he came out to an ovation from the crowd. “Mother’s Day, my dad is here, my sister is here,’’ St. Louis said. “It’s been a tough time for my whole family. To be able to get the lead in the first period, it was a good one.’’

City still in United’s massive premier-league shadow By Rob Harris

ASSOCIATED PRESS

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND — Manchester City has deposed its neighbour as Barclays Premier League champions for the second time in three years, but is not close to usurping Manchester United’s global supremacy — both as a football club and as a brand. For many people, the word “Manchester’’ still equates simply with “United.’’ Even Premier League officials marked the end of the season by assuring United’s American owners of the team’s enduring power. “They are the world’s largest football

club, in my view, with huge resources, with huge determination and a fantastic fan base,’’ league chief executive Richard Scudamore told Sky Sports television. “Of course their time will come again.’’ However glum United fans felt as the blue half of Manchester celebrated into Monday morning, a day after sealing the title with a 2-0 victory over West Ham, it’s too early to see the humiliating seventh-place finish as the start of a downward spiral. Declarations the balance of power has shifted in Manchester would be as premature as they were in 2012, when City

last wrestled the trophy off United, only to end the following season 11 points adrift. United claims to have 659-million fans worldwide; City hasn’t even tried to provide an estimate. United has been valued at $2.8 billion by Forbes magazine — behind Real Madrid and Barcelona — while City is seventh in the rankings at $863 million. And, while City’s income last year was around $449 million, United’s was $602 million. The big difference this time, however, is that there is no Alex Ferguson to plot the reclamation of the trophy.

The immediate implication of United’s fall from grace is the failure to qualify for Europe for the first time in 24 years. David Moyes’ reign as manager was curtailed with four matches remaining. United, with its brand strength, vast following and so many years of success to fall back on, should not be too troubled by its neighbour yet. But, wary, yes. If their contrasting fortunes are repeated next season and United’s share price in New York slumps, the Glazers might start to worry about their cashrich Gulf rivals led by owner Sheikh Mansour.

‘I wanted to sing like her’

Belinda Davids’ show The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show will play the Sagebrush Theatre on Saturday, May 17.

Whitney Houston tribute act set to play Sagebrush Theatre STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

T STARTED WITH A SINGLE. The record was Hold Me, a duet by Whitney Houston and Teddy Pendergrass, released on vinyl in 1984. It was one of the first records Belinda Davids had owned, and though she didn’t know it when she set it on the record player for the first time as a young girl, it was about to change the scope of her whole musical career. “As a young girl I didn’t understand what the difference was between pop music or R&B music,” the South African singer told KTW. “All I knew was when I heard that LP with Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney for the first time is that I wanted to sing like her. “And, from that time, and moment that’s all I did.” While Davids would go on to have a success-

ful singing career of her own, releasing several albums and collaborating with many R&B artists, it’s her love of Houston that brings her to the Tournament Capital May 17 for The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show. The tribute concert features many of Houston’s greatest hits spanning her decadeslong career. Houston, who died in 2012, was one of the world’s best-selling musical acts, with over 200 million records sold world wide and a string of seven back-toback number one hits on the U.S. Billboard 100 chart. One of her bestknown songs, I Will Always Love You became the best-selling single in music history in the early 1990s. In 2009, Guinness World Records recognized her as one of the most awarded female acts of all time. Davids was one of more than 15,000 singers who auditioned to take

up Houston’s mantle for the tribute show in 2012. By then, she’d already toured globally as a solo act — but a few favourite Whitney Houston numbers had stayed in her set list

over the years. During a show in Hong Kong earlier in her career she’d so blown an audience away with a performance of I Will Always Love You that they demanded she perform it again a capella

to prove she wasn’t lipsyncing. For the tour, Davids said she’s physically trained herself to emulate Houston’s movements and expressions, as well as her singing. “It wasn’t that hard

because I feel like I have been practicing since I was a young girl,” she said. “I tried to watch only live performances and when I do the song I see her in my mind’s eye through the

whole show.” The Greatest Love of All runs May 17 at the Sagebrush Theatre. Tickets are available through the Kamloops Live box office at kamloopslive.ca or 250374-5483.

Hyundai wants Genesis to be car of choice By Jim Robinson

METROLAND MEDIA wheels.ca

The second generation, midluxury 2015 Genesis sedan is the first Hyundai passenger car to feature all-wheel-drive as a standard feature.

wheel-drive. Hyundai calls its system HTRAC AWD and it was tested, along with the chassis, on the famed Nurburgring to make sure they got it right. And the system has a Canadian connection. It was designed by Magna which claims HTRAC it is “most capable on the market.” HTRAC is different from simple “slip and grip” AWD. It’s more like a continuously variable centre differential. In everyday driving, the Genesis is in “Normal” mode with traction split 40:60, front:rear. But it can also move up to 90 per cent of torque to the front wheels or 100 per cent to the rear as required. For example, when climbing a hill the ratio is 30:70 per cent. If “Sport” mode is selected, torque is re-

mapped with 90 per cent of the power to the rear wheels but it also moves torque around to deal with understeer or oversteer when driving aggressively. There is also an “Eco” mode which, like the other two, is selected by a centre console button. The system also includes Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) which improves handing traction by braking the inside rear wheel slightly when leaving a corner. On the lovely roads up and down the Okanagan Valley, the AWD was working all the time but transparently. The only time I felt something was on a sharp uphill switchback when the torque split changed from 90 per cent rear to 30:70. Rolling up and down

grades and using all the apexes, the new Genesis was truly glued to the road and that inspired confidence. Switching to “Sport” it got better with just a hint of the inside braking when carrying speed into a bend and that powering out. Hyundai did not mess with the drivetrain with the standard engine being its 3.8-litre direct injection V6 now with 311 hp and 293 lb/ft of torque. The other offering is the proven “tau” 5.0-litre direct injection V8 with 420 hp and 383 lb/ft of torque. Both engines are mated to Hyundai’s own eight-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual selection and paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

HE PERCEPtion of quality is crucial to any full-size luxury car. Despite fine products like the Equus, Azera and most importantly, the Genesis, that perception/reality connect has eluded Hyundai. For instance, did you know Hyundai was the top-selling singlebrand passenger car in 2013? Or did you know Hyundai had the highest customer new car satisfaction rating last year of 58 per cent? Genesis has the engineering, a mix of cutting edge safety/connectivity and responsive ride and handling that buyers in this market now expect — in fact, demand. In the mid-luxury segment, MercedesBenz E-Class and Audi A6 are the main competitors but both those firms have been at it for more than a century. Hyundai has only been around since 1967 but everyone knows that strides it has made in that short time. And with the 2015 Genesis, that trend continues with a car that has been redesigned from the ground up. Missing in past Genesis sedans was all-wheel-drive. Audi’s quattro is the benchmark and it’s tough to buy a Mercedes-Benz these days without 4Matic. The new Genesis rides on a totally new platform specifically engineered for all-

Sculpture design language that we will see in coming models like the new Sonata this summer. Now we come to the crux — the interior where Hyundai seems to have learned from Audi’s “surfaces” philosophy. Audi believes every visible surface must feel as good as it looks and the interior of the new Genesis reflects this. An example is the steering wheel, more specifically, the touch points designed for a pleasing tactile response. Pricing starts at $43,000 for the 3.8 Premium, $48,000 for the 3.8 Luxury and $53,000 for the 3.8 Technology. The flagship is the 5.0 Ultimate at $62,000. Hyundai knows Genesis is not the first car that comes to the mind of the mid-luxury buyer, but it believes that, once driven, it will be the car of choice.

GM starts work on race-car laboratory General Motors has started construction of a state-of-the-art facility for race-engine design and development, as well as an electric-motor laboratory and gear centre. GM’s continued investment in motorsports comes from the time-tested belief that racing is the ultimate proving ground for much of the technology that applies to the vehicles GM sells. Engineers and technicians from GM’s race engineering centre in Wixom, Mich., will move to the new facility in mid-2015. The relocation will centralize North American powertrainengineering expertise for production engines, as well as advanced and racing-propulsion programs. Condensing the engineering to one large space is an excellent way to develop racebred engineers, whether they work on production or performance vehicles. This centralization of talent will provide more collaboration opportunities between racing and production engineers already at GM Powertrain Engineering headquarters and development lab, one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the world. The move will include about 100 employees who work on powertrain-racing development, electric motors and in the gear center. The new building is expected to be opened and in use by mid-2015 and completed by early 2016. When the moves are complete, about 400 jobs will be added to the Pontiac campus.

Chevy truck on police radar The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Special Service Vehicle (SSV) is joining the brand’s growing police-vehicle portfolio. It goes on sale this summer, offering the same capabilities, efficiency and durability as the award-winning Silverado 1500, with special features designed for police use. The SSV package is available on Silverado 1500 Crew Cab in 1WT or 1LS trims, and includes the 5.3-litre EcoTec3 V8, rated at 355 hp and delivering the highest EPA-rated fuel economy for a 2WD V8 full-size pickup: 23 mpg (U.S.) highway.

The engine is available with E85 capability. Police agencies can choose 2WD or 4WD models with the standard pickup box or a shorter version. The Silverado SSV is equipped with a standard 170amp high-output alternator and 730-CCA auxiliary battery, which allows officers to operate lights, radios, computers, cameras and other equipment while parked with the engine turned off, preserving the charge of the vehicle’s primary battery. The SSV pickup also is equipped with a 110-volt outlet for equipment, and comes standard with electrical power supply

for four upfitter switches located on the center stack for easy control and accessibility. The crew cab offers a vinyl rear seat along with large rear doors for easy entry when transporting passengers. Other available interior options include front centre seat delete, which provides an open center console space for police equipment, an auxiliary dome lamp and an electronic four-wheel drive switch located on the dash. An available common key option allows municipalities to use one key to operate all of their Silverado SSVs and 2015 Tahoe police vehicles.

Both engines are paired to a sixspeed SelectShift automatic transmission designed for smooth driving around town and efficiency on the highway.

HOME & GARDEN

Turn your balcony into a delicious, edible garden Improvements in container gardening equipment and techniques have cleared the way for even the most brown-thumb city dwellers, and anyone without a yard, to grow their own groceries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to stop anyone who wants a garden from having one,â&#x20AC;? says Roy Joulus, CEO of Greenbo, a company that designs award-winning innovative products for urban gardening, including the Greenbo XL flower box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plants add a great deal to our quality of life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from cleaning the air we breathe to keeping us in touch with nature,â&#x20AC;? Joulus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fresh, home-grown herbs and vegetables not only taste so much better than supermarket produce,

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re convenient and you know exactly where they came from â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and what was used, or not used, on them.â&#x20AC;? While hydroponic and vertical gardening systems have been developed to maximize the yield in small spaces, Joulus said starting a balcony garden neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost much. Start with the right materials and choose plants that are right for your conditions and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon be eating from the pots on your porch. He offers these tips especially for balcony gardeners: â&#x20AC;˘ Plant the right plants for the amount of sunlight you have: Most herbs and vegetables require six to eight hours of direct sunlight a day.

Choose edibles that can take partial sun/shade (three to six hours of sun in the morning or early afternoon) or light shade (two to three hours of direct sun or lightly shaded all day.) Some partial-shade herbs: Cilantro and parsley (both prefer cooler weather), dill, bee balm and spearmint chamomile. Some light-shade herbs: Garlic chives, peppermint and rosemary. Some partial- or light-shade veggies: Lettuce, broccoli, green onion, collards, cabbage, peas, carrots, strawberries, beans and sweet potatoes. Remember, pale-colored surfaces increase the light your plants receive. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose the right pots:

Bigger pots require less water and are less likely to blow over when wind kicks up. Terra cotta allows moisture to escape fairly quickly, which is helpful for people who like to water a lot. Non-porous plastic or glazed pots hold water longer and are better for windy balconies, where soil dries out quickly. Use brightly colored containers to add style and visual interest to your garden. Most vegetable plants require even watering. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them dry out completely and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep them soggy. Apply water directly to the soil. Make sure your containers have drainage holes or a drainage system.

If they have an attached tray to catch excess water, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow the plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots to sit in the water, which promotes rot and fungus. Either empty the tray regularly, or use a design that holds the water away from the roots. â&#x20AC;˘ Use the right dirt: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to use dirt that allows for good drainage. Most edible plants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to sit in wet dirt, and soil without good drainage tends to become compacted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a difficult medium for plants that like to stretch their roots out. You can buy a sterile soil-less potting mix, a soil-based potting mix or mix up your own batch using one part compost, one part perlite and one part potting soil.

THE

BATTLING

INVADERS The provincial government is providing more than $169,000 to three Kamloops and area organizations to help control the spread of invasive plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preserving B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural landscape is of utmost importance to our government,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Stone, MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson and the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These grants will assist in the fight to control the spread of invasive plant species, which threaten our biodiversity in B.C.â&#x20AC;? B.C. awarded grants to the following Kamloops and area

organizations: â&#x20AC;˘ Southern Interior Weed Management Committee received $115,000. â&#x20AC;˘ Lillooet Regional Invasive Species Society received $30,000. â&#x20AC;˘ Thompson-Nicola Regional District received $24,000 The funding will be invested in activities such as raising public awareness of invasive plants, surveying invasive-plant populations and treating high-priority sites to control their spread. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The spread of invasive species threatens the integrity of our natural environments

and agriculture industry,â&#x20AC;? said Terry Lake MLA for KamloopsNorth Thompson and the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are blessed with a vast and ecologically diverse province and we are acting to protect it.â&#x20AC;? Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into B.C. from other areas. They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage. Some pose a health risk to people. Invasive plants may disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiver-

sity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reducing the impact of invasive species is necessary to protect and enhance the unique ecosystems we have here in interior B.C.,â&#x20AC;? said Jackie Tegart, MLA for Fraser-Nicola. The grants are three of a total of 29, totalling $1.6 million, which are being distributed provincewide to local governments, regional invasive-species committees and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. to assist with their activities and support the

objectives of the provincial Invasive Plant Program. The Invasive Plant Program identifies sites where invasive plant species have been found and responds rapidly to contain and eradicate them before they become established and start spreading. The funding is in addition to the $809,000 already earmarked by the provincial government for invasive plant control and management in the fiscal 2014-2015 year.

GABION WALL SYSTEMS LTD. OF BARRIERE, B.C. IS PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME PROJECT.

Under contract to PCL Construction Management Inc., Gabion Wall Systems Ltd. spent the summer of 2013 constructing the gabion walls that line all the walking paths along Sunwapta Canyon leading to the Glacier Skywalk Glass Bottom Platform. With gabion stone extracted from site, 1,100 m2 of gabion walls were constructed using custom made welded wire gabions. While working on the edge of a 1,000 foot drop off had it’s challenges for both crew and equipment, the scenery backdrop

everyday was breathtaking. It can be easy for us to take for granted such beauty, so it was a reminder when the New York USA truck driver delivering the gabion baskets thanked us for the haul and said “now I have been to heaven and I get to tell all my family and friends about it”. In it’s first year of operating the Skywalk, Brewster Tours expects 130,000 visitors who will all walk by the work of Gabion Wall Systems Ltd.

Shawn Fadear - Owner/ Operator is 3rd from left, and Ryan Fadear - Owner/Operator is in middle 4th from left Gabion Wall Systems Ltd. would like to thank all our crew for a great job and a lasting legacy.

NE OF THE IRONIES OF gardening, it seems, is that the more we turn to nature by planting and growing our own vegetables and flowers, the more nature tries to turn us back with her own array of pests, critters and damaging weather. All manner of creatures that crawl, hop, browse, leap and munch can make short work of our hard work, as can heat and drought. Smart home farmers, however, call on safe, tried-and-true methods to protect their plants, and now they’re adding technology for even broader protection. Here are effective ways you can protect your garden from three of the most common and damaging threats: • Wild animals: To keep deer away from flower beds and vegetable patches, the surest method is to stretch a fence around them, one that it at least 2.5-metres (eight-feet) high and secured at the bottom to prevent deer from nosing under the barrier. According to GardenGuides.com, to ward off rabbits, add a 60-centimetre-high wire mesh fence with holes no larger than one inch so animals can’t squeeze through.

Houle Electric is proud to serve the Thompson-Nicola and Northern Okanagan regions by offering electrical services that not only help create homes and businesses, but add to the safety and security of residents. In addition to providing excellent residential services to both regions, Houle has also completed a number of large commercial and industrial projects in the area, including the award-winning Thompson Rivers University’s House of Learning, the university’s seismic-upgrade project, Chartwell Ridgepointe Retirement Residence, the Tk’emlups Indian Band’s

Service, Emergencies & Repairs

Bury the bottom of the fence at least four inches into the ground and bend it outward so rabbits can’t dig under it. Insects: A natural way to discourage aphids (plant lice) is to grow plants that attract their predators, like ladybugs, hoverflies, parasitic wasps, lacewings and praying mantis. You can find information about appropriate plants from your local gardening store or from a variety of gardening websites. • Difficult growing conditions: Ensure your plants are receiving proper nutrients, temperature, watering and light with a new type of sensor from Parrot, called Flower Power. It’s a wireless plant monitor that connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth Smart (low energy) and, via a free app, it displays real-time information on soil moisture, fertilizer, ambient temperature and light intensity. This sensor is available online from Parrot, Future Shop and Best Buy. Protecting your plants can be easy when you combine old-fashioned remedies with newly developed technology. newscanada.com

bring inside . . . outside

The arrival of summer and sunny skies beckons homeowners to create a space to enjoy the great outdoors. Why not design an outdoor living room that merges style and function and as incorporates elements of indoor comforts? “It’s easier than ever to bring the comfort and style of your favourite indoor spaces outside to your porch, patio and other areas,” says Aimee Beatty, an in-house stylist with Pier 1 Imports. “From comfy throw pillows to trendy rugs, new products boast durability and so much style that your patio will be the neighbourhood’s next hot spot.” Beatty shares some of her secrets to make your outdoor space an elegant living space worth sharing, as follows: • Arrange away: If space is limited, use sectionals to create seating in whatever arrangement fits best. If there is more room, add a larger investment piece,

such as the Echo Beach Dining Table. It offers plenty of space to arrange chairs just as you would in your dining room. • Embrace the bold: Some might be afraid to create a statement outside, but this is your opportunity to be bold and to go beyond your comfort zone. Mix and match colours and patterns and personalize the space with your favourite accents.

• Tie it all together: A smart combination of accessories can be transformational. Create a welcoming space by layering accessories, such as colourful pillows, lanterns, outdoor artwork and more. Add an outdoor rug to finish the look and tie everything together. • Serve in style: Al fresco entertaining focuses on food, drinks and friends. A self-service food station enhances the casual tone, freeing guests to grab refreshments whenever they please. Look for serving carts that maximize space, giving you levels to stash an ice bucket, snacks, lawn games and more. Let the warmth of the season bring many memorable moments to your life and stylish elements to your outdoor spaces. More decorating ideas can be found online at pier1. ca. newscanada.com

KEEPING PEOPLE IN MOTION SINCE 1989 People in Motion member Veronica LaVoie (above) does what she loves — drawing and painting whenever and wherever she can. LaVoie dropped by the People in Motion open house on Thursday, May 8, as the agency celebrated 25 years of service in Kamloops. The Tranquille Road location in North Kamloops also featured activities for kids, including a bouncy castle that enthralled five-year-old Elliott Hayward-Cheetham. People in Motion is a non-profit group that has been helping people with disabilities since 1989 by providing fitness, recreational, educational and social programs and services. For more information on the agency, go online to peopleinmotion.org or call 250-3767878. Dave Eagles photos/KTW

How small businesses can mitigate threats These are challenging times for small businesses. From unprecedented foul weather to cyber blackouts, small- to mid-sized businesses are beginning to put much more emphasis on risk reduction and mitigation. According to RSA Insurance’s national Risk Report Survey (conducted by MQO Research) approximately two-thirds of Canadian small-tomedium-sized businesses are confident they can mitigate these threats. The Risk Report Survey collates the opinions of 600 smallbusiness owners across the country on how specific challenges have impacted their bottom line and what measures they are tak-

ing to mitigate those risks. “Canadian entrepreneurs have been resilient in the wake of significant global economic and climactic volatility,” said Julie Pingree, vice-president of commercial insurance at RSA. “By putting a greater emphasis on risk management, and indeed risk reduction, small businesses are helping secure jobs and drive economic sustainability.” Here are a few more survey findings: • Talent and succession planning: Approximately four out of 10 smallto-medium-sized businesses have been affected by at least one type of talent management and succession planning challenge in the past year

— and 42 per cent of those affected identified the inability to recruit skilled staff as the most serious challenge. • Criminal activity: Roughly one-third of SMBs have been affected by some form of criminal activity during the same time frame, with 18 per cent of those businesses identifying credit card or cheque fraud as the most serious. • Business interruptions: Technological malfunctions are yet another major source of business interruptions that can result in costly productivity delays. For 23 per cent of those who have experienced significant business interruptions, network, broadband/ computer issues or

equipment failure were the most disruptive, while keeping up with new technology or managing problems with existing technology were central concerns for 19 per cent. “We often expect the major events, like severe weather, to be what really tests our business, but oftentimes it’s the day-today occurrences associated with running a business that can present the most unforeseen challenges,”

said Pingree. “Working with a knowledgeable insurance broker who can help you identify and navigate potential threats before they impact your business is a strategy that business owners cannot afford to overlook.” Though a number of small-to-mediumsized businesses have not lost their appetites for taking calculated risks, 58 per cent foresee no change in their willingness to do so

over the next two years. Across the board, however, the negative impacts that are consistently top of mind for entrepreneurs are increased competition, reduced profit margins

and constrained business growth. More information, including assistance for locating a local broker, can be found online at rsagroup.ca. newscanada.com
