Science continues quest to save bees The company behind a GMO-canola farm outside Kamloops disputes recent research By Dale Bass
Kamloops the company’s first line of seed development, when it takes the male and female of canola plants and modifies them through biotechnology — seed genetics — looking for a better crop. Rozdeba suggested there are other reasons why bees aren’t surviving, pointing to studies by the Canadian Association of Profession Apiculturists (CAPA). CAPA does regular reports from its member beekeepers, including annual winter-loss reports, which have shown about 27 per cent of bees don’t make it through that season, he said. CAPA’s review showed B.C. had one of its lowest loss rate in recent years in 2013, with 18 per cent of bees dying, an improvement from earlier rates as high as 26 per cent. Losses were higher on the Mainland than elsewhere in the province. CAPA identifies other causes of bee deaths, including a parasitic fungus that affects adult bees and a bacteria that infects bee larvae. The pest-management agency, however, in 2012 found 70 per cent of dead bee samples taken from across the country tested positive for neonic residue. It established new measures to be taken to address bee exposure to neonic-treated corn and soybean and is monitoring this year’s planting to see if more action is required. Raine said his tags used on the bumblebees are similar to those used by courier companies to track parcels. The tags helped researchers follow the bees in and out of their colonies and as they approached flowers and collected pollen. Raine said bees need to learn how to collect pollen from flowers and exposure to neonics appears to prevent them from doing so. The report said bees exposed to neonics became less successful each time they go out to collect pollen — to the point colonies send out even more bees to make up for the lack of pollen.

The Ontario government has become the first in the country to question the use of a pesticide linked to the survival of bees — and B.C. is watching. Ontario was responding to recent scientific publications linking neonicotinoids (neonics) to bees dying, acknowledging it is going to study if the use should be restricted. Dave Townshend, a communications officer with the provincial ministry of agriculture said B.C. is “keenly interested” in the results of a review of the pesticide, which is governed federally through Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency. The review is expected next year. One study involved a group of European scientists who reviewed existing literature while a second, which included University of Guelph scientist Nigel Raine, put tags on bumblebees to track their ability to gather pollen. “Although pesticide exposure has been implicated as a possible cause for bee decline, until now we had limited understanding of the risk these chemicals pose, especially how it affects natural foraging behaviour,” said Raine. However, Bayer CropScience Canada (BCSC) — which has a genetically modified canola farm outside Kamloops — has taken issue with the linkage. Derrick Rozdeba, communications manager for the crop-production subsidiary of the chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer, said the European study misleading because it was based on a review of research done in labs dousing bees with pesticides, rather than researching the insects in their natural environment. BCSC, which also has an office in Kamloops, uses neonics on seed to protect them from pests that can damage seedlings as they grow. Rozdeba called the work done in

Water-park idea floated again for Kamloops City looking for ideas at its Tournament Capital Ranchlands on North Thompson River By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
An unknown Kamloops developer is once again eyeing the Tournament Capital as the site for a “destination water park.” A 11-hectare, privately developed park, with wave pool and lazy river, is one of several concepts being pitched to the public for the Tournament Capital Ranchlands (TCR) south of the Rayleigh Slo-Pitch Park. The city has 80 hectares of undeveloped land at the ranch, once a national defence site, and is looking to the public for ideas on what to do with it. Community planning supervisor Maren Luciani said the city has some ideas already — as well as farmland commitments to the Agricultural Land Commission made when it developed the ball fields in 2007. The city’s plan so far is to commit just under 30 hectares of the TCR to agricultural production, though Luciani said what that means is “fairly open-ended.” “We could potentially rent to a private farmer and they could do what they wish with the land,” she said. “We could have a farm-business incubator program — which was another action item of the agriculture area program — to support new farmers.” Waterfront portions of the ranch would be developed into picnic areas with trails, and another 14.5 hectares could become the new home of the Kamloops Exhibition Association (KXA). The KXA has been looking for a new home since 2011, when a financial dispute with its thenlandlord the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) led to it losing its convention space.
Luciani said the group hopes to build an equine and exhibition site, but the exact concept will be shaped by public feedback. The city will also have to work with the TIB, who own two parcels of land at the site. Nick DeCicco, project supervisor and parks capital planner, said he hopes to see the ranch become a destination for tourists and locals. “It’s a quick few minutes out of town and then you go to this place that has lots to offer,” he said. “That’s our goal, just to have it as a destination point.”
While the city would have to build trails and do some work at the site, DeCicco said much of what’s under consideration could be funded by private groups. “We have the land — and there’s a lot of value on that much property,” he said. “That’s something we can negotiate with the proponents. We can say we’ve got a chunk of property here but you need to facilitate the other part of that, the building and all those components.” Luciani said the city hopes to present a plan to city council this
fall, which will then go to the Agricultural Land Commission for approval.
A decision from that body could take anywhere from three to eight months.
WANT TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS? To collect public comments and ideas, a pair of public houses are set for Aug. 14 at the ranch and the Tournament Capital Centre. The city will be at the TCR from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the Tournament Capital Centre from noon to 3 p.m. It will also be at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market on Aug. 6 and Aug. 9.

Couple turns to Mother Nature for water By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The decision by a couple building a home in Knutsford to rely on the clouds for all their water supply is based on calculations rather than misplaced confidence. Rob and Deb Lucas plan to move into their custom home on 160 acres next month. There is no city water available. Local residents rely on wells with mineralized water or pay for potable water trucked in and pumped to a holding tank. The Lucases are doing neither. When they move in, they’ll turn on the tap to drink water that’s fallen on their roof. Scott Duncan with contractor Central Interior Pumps said there is a well on the property that supplies irrigation but the Lucases wanted something different. “Technology and availability is almost mainstream,� Duncan said.
One of the strategies used at the Lucas home is the purchase of massive stainless-steel tank that is buried to store up to 20,000 litres of water. “They can hold a year’s worth,� Duncan estimated. Another advantage is the 5,000-square-foot roof — a huge surface area to collect rainwater and channel it to the tank. He estimates the area receives about 30 centimetres of rainfall annually. Water is collected in conventional gutters, where it is drained first through a primary filter Duncan said screens out anything larger than fine dust and pollen. Water is then pushed through a secondary filter before it is sent to the tank for storage. A panel display shows the amount of water stored in the tank. The final step is a UV system that kills any remaining pathogens in the water. “You’ve got really beautiful, clear water,� Duncan said. Lucas said her husband

already utilizes rainwater at his shop in Knutsford to wash vehicles and for washrooms. The couple didn’t like the option of using hard, mineralized water from a well. “[At first] we just thought we’d get city water delivered. We thought that if we could collect it, it would be better yet.� With no access to city water and with a massive roof area, the Lucas home is unique. Duncan said rainwater collection has wider applications beyond the classic rain barrel beneath a downspout. It is practical for irrigation purposes in a suburban or urban setting. “The [biggest] market is two part: Rural homes where you’re looking to offset the cost of a well; secondly, industrial zones with a big roof area and low water usage.� He estimated the cost of a simple system used for irrigation at a couple thousand dollars, with a 4,000-litre tank and downspout filtration.

Options available for summer-school studies By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A handful of classroom programs remain operational in Kamloops, despite the teacher strike and resulting closure of summer school. In some circumstances, students who need an extra course or to upgrade before entering university had options this summer. The first is at Thompson Rivers University, which offers high-school equivalent courses through its university and employment preparation department. “It’s not an alternative to summer school,� said Janie Schumacher, a biology instructor in the program. While it does not neatly fit the gap from
the loss of summer school, students are currently enrolled in the second of two short semesters, taking courses in grades 10 to 12, including in math. Those students are typically out of school and coming back to complete their Dogwood diploma. There was more demand than courses offered this summer due to a funding shortfall. There is no cost for the courses funded by the province. “We’re starting to have courses waitlisted [for fall],� Schumacher said. “I think it’s because we didn’t offer as many summer courses [this year].� Students needing to upgrade in sciences, for example, can also
take courses at TRU in the fall while enrolled in first-year university courses. School District 73 is also overseeing students in the Phoenix Centre’s Osprey program for youth under court orders. That program was protected under a Labour Relations Board order. There are one or two teachers overseeing the program based out of a Victoria Street office. The district continues to offer distancelearning. A decision was made not to picket the offices because teachers in the program work through summer, taking holiday time during the school year. Superintendent Terry Sullivan said
while it is possible for students who missed out on summer school due to the strike to take distance courses, it is impractical because they are not compressed and likely would take them

into fall. “[But] some kids, because they really want or need the course and we don’t have summer school . . . may no doubt say it’s the only option we have.�

Lucky Vancouver — it will have an engaging campaign
I
ENVY VANCOUVER RIGHT NOW — IT HAS A REASON TO BE INTERESTED IN ITS MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. Let’s be fair, however; the city has a built-in reason to be engaged, given its truly strange dependence on a form of politicalparty campaigning at the civic level. There are the main ones — Coalition of Progressive Electors, the Non-Partisan Association (NPA) and incumbent Vision Vancouver — along with newbies OneCity, which has at least one declared candidate for city council, and the Cedar Party. Even the Green Party is in on the push to put one of it members at that large governing table at the end of the year. I don’t get the idea of a party system at the municipal level but perhaps it’s one way of clearly defining the vetted and serious candidate from the fringe wannabe like the woman in my hometown who, every election, ran on her platform of welcoming aliens to the city. I’m jealous of Vancouverites because again, they have a clear mayoralty campaign, one that will see issues debated, not reviewed, and new ideas promoted. Disclosure time: I’ve known NPA mayoralty candidate Kirk Lapointe for almost four decades, harkening back to when I was a young reporter in Ontario and he was working for Canadian Press.
DALE BASS Street LEVEL His was the voice on the other end of the line when I would have to call and inquire about a column or story we were expecting. I’ve continued to work with him in recent years through our shared involvement with the Canadian Association of Journalists. Lapointe’s already encountered some criticism in his campaign, most of it centred around his lack of political experience. That seems a silly argument — everyone has to be a rookie candidate at some point. He’s just chosen to make his first foray into the field going for the top spot. In an interview with the National Post earlier this week — a newspaper at which Lapointe was the founding executive editor — he started to spell out the key components of his campaign. They’re miles away from incumbent Gregor Robertson’s platform of creating the world’s greenest city or eliminating home-
lessness in Vancouver. He’s talking about the kinds of things I suspect Mayor Peter Milobar will be promoting in the fall as the campaigning ramps up — no pie-in-the-sky ideas, no pipe dreams, just basic good government. The key difference between the elections in Vancouver and Kamloops, however, are that those pipe dreams are one side of the discussion, alongside Lapointe’s transparent government talk. Right now, we don’t have anyone willing to stand up and talk about the big ideas — like Robertson has, is and will in coming months. People need a reason to care, to get involved, to get into their cars and head to the polling booth. Historically, many of us don’t do that. But we all love a competition, to watch two or more worthy combatants go at each other. We usually find someone to root for, someone we want to see declared the victor. Lapointe might not win the mayor’s seat but his involvement and the vast experience he brings as a journalist, a businessman, an educator and a questioner will at least make the election interesting. And it’s why I envy Vancouver right now.

Fix drunkdriving laws At least one person has not been deterred by B.C.’s tougher impaired-driving laws. Victoria resident Suzanne Elizabeth Gurnell was charged with four offences, including dangerous and impaired driving stemming from an April incident. New, tougher laws were unlikely to deter Gurnell. After all, the old ones didn’t. She has 19 such offences in the past six years, including three drunk-driving convictions. How she is still driving is beyond all reasonable argument. She is obviously not doing so legally, as this latest round of charges included driving with a suspended licence. The fact she still has a licence to suspend speaks volumes for B.C.’s — and Canada’s impaired-driving laws. Impaired driving remains the leading cause of criminal death in Canada, according to Statistics Canada’s 2011 report (the most recent one available on the topic). The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse claims 8,431 people died on Canadian roads in crashes involving a drinking driver in the first decade of this century. Clearly, the message is not getting across. Perhaps people would think harder about getting behind the wheel after a night of boozing if Canada were to incorporate corporal punishment, like some Middle Eastern countries. An impaired charge in the Emirates can net you 80 lashes. In Taiwan, it’s more harsh. A blood-alcohol reading of 0.05 per cent can result in a two-year jail term for a motorist. Three cans of beer will set most people over the top. What will it take for the likes of Gurnell and other prolific drunk drivers to change their ways? No Canadian law will ever make a difference. — Comox Valley Record

Re: Six months in jail for ‘relentless disregard’ that killed pedestrian: “I see a civil suit in the future.” — posted by pothead “If he was caught with an ounce of pot, he’d be away for 20 years. Go Canada! Take a life and get six months.” — posted by Melanie “Six months, to be served on weekends. How little a human life is worth.” — posted by L. Clarke
Re: Teacher speaks out on lack of pickets:
“I would still like to know why there are students using the Osprey program on Victoria Street. If there is no summer school, what are these students doing and who is supervising them? I hope it is not a case of one rule for some and another rule for others. “All students who needed summer school should be given an equal chance. I hope that before September both sides come to an agreement and school can resume for everyone, students, teachers and CUPE staff.” — posted by Doreen Harrison
Where have all the good MPs gone? Editor: Trust the government — it knows what is best for us. It says tighten your belts with wage increases of zero, zero and zero for public-sector workers, then give themselves a fat 13 per cent increase. Run to the trough, MPs. It says no tax increases then takes money from cash cows ICBC and BC Hydro. We get rate hikes from ICBC and BC Hydro that affect everyone, not just
taxpayers. Government says it is paying enough for health care and education but claws back with a carbon tax, hydro- and insurance-premiums increases for its cash cows. Schools, fire departments, ambulance and hospitals should be essential services and exempt from taxes on fuel, purchases and the carbon tax. The schools and property should be the responsibility of the province, not the school board.
The school board should be funded and be responsible for teaching children, not busing and building repairs. Repairs and maintenance of vacant schools are a large draw on the limited funds. We pay big money for MPs they say to attract the best people Where are they? J. Barlow Kamloops
In search of the truth
Editor: Public opinion on public-policy issues is generally based on rational ignorance. It is irrational to spend large amounts of time learning about public-policy issues if whatever we learn is going to be swamped by the ignorance of others. It is rational to spend only as much time on public-policy issues as is typically spent. The result is public opinion on publicpolicy issues is usually based on rational ignorance and cognitive bias. The obvious need is for a better-informed public but this is not going to happen any time soon. Perhaps the best first step is for the public to learn which groups and individuals to trust and which are untrustworthy. This is a lot to ask and it may not be possible. Human nature may have to proceed by trial and error and to learn by bitter experience, sometimes at tremendous cost. With the teachers’ dispute, we need to understand any industry that is dominated by a monopoly or near-monopoly will never innovate to solve its problems — it is easier to simply ask for more money. Without competition, any industry will demand a never-ending larger and larger share of the national product and will produce a continually deteriorating product. Competition needs to be introduced. With the Ajax mine, we need to be sure we do not tar opinion from reliable groups with the same brush that is appropriately used on biased and misleading groups. In addition, we need a political party devoted to the truth rather than what we have — parties, all of which assume that, in politics, it is perception, not truth, that matters.

Overlanders Bridge is for crossing
Editor: Once again, a group has taken to standing on Overlanders Bridge to rally support for their cause, waving their signs and happily shouting at the cars below. The driver, who is supposed to be watching the car in front, is looking up at the protestors or the car beside who doesn’t have a signal or the one that is behind texting or trying to juggle the phone.

Great Sex THE PAIN OF RAIN LOCAL NEWS
Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life. FOR MEN GUARANTEED
#6 NPN 80051008
Motorists turning onto Laval Crescent got an unwelcome surprise on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 23, after a sudden thunderstorm flooded the road. The rain, which started around 2 p.m., caused chaos around the city, including a slide on Highway 5 and flooding under the Tenth Avenue overpass that left one motorist trapped on the roof of their flooded vehicle. Kamloops RCMP closed off a lane on the Overlanders Bridge as a result of flooding and falling debris and the rush of water popped manhole covers around the city. Andrea Klassen/KTW

Work remains delayed on park, long boarding facility near Pacific Way school Whether the city’s new longboarding park is ready this summer or next spring will depend on the state of Kamloops’ roads. Parks planning supervisor Mike Doll said the park near Pacific Way elementary, hasn’t broken ground because the department which will do the work hasn’t had the time. The city is trying to build the facility using its own staff as much as possible. Doll said if city workers can’t get to it this summer, it will likely break ground in the spring of 2015. The boarding space was originally supposed to be part of West Highlands park, but was moved to another space when the neighbourhood expressed concerns about property values and noise. Doll said work on West Highlands Park is proceeding well and the city plans to issue
more tenders to finish the park’s playing fields this year. Over winter months, the former Aberdeen Hills Golf Links clubhouse will be renovated into a community hall. The city is still looking for public input on features at West Highlands. To weigh in, go online to kamloops.ca.

The Kamloops Taiwanese Cultural Association will host the centre’s grand opening at 413 Tranquille Rd. on Saturday, July 26, at 10 a.m. The event will feature photography and painting exhibitions, as well as live entertainment.

NDP ‘wrong’ on university-pay claims
30.1c / 1.3 kW 3.9kg (8.6lb)
BLACK PRESS
editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk said the NDP is wrong in its claims more B.C. universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government. The NDP obtained salary-cap details for three universities — Capilano University, the University of the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island University — and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years. Financial disclosures show the three universities paid their presidents between $230,000 and $245,000 in the last year — more in each case than their
$225,000 caps, according to the NDP. “What is the point in having caps in the first place if they’re basically meaningless and you’re not going to enforce them?� asked NDP advancededucation critic David Eby. The Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC), which enforces the policy, has since refused to disclose pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institutions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up further violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. But, in a statement emailed by his office, Virk said the caps on presidents’ total compensation do not apply to other senior postsecondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved by PSEC. Those ranges don’t

include additional benefits and pension, which he said the NDP mistakenly counted in its calculations, adding about 20 per cent. Virk also said total compensation for presidents can fluctuate year to year due to higher benefit and pension costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to one-time payments such as
unused vacation payouts. “The critic’s misinterpretation is intended to make it appear that these individuals are being paid outside the compensation they should be paid,� he said. Virk said institution board chairs have given signed confirmations executive compensation was paid out in line with approved plans. Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role before being elected MLA as a director on the board of Kwantlen, where an investigation found extra $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consulting fees were made to the president and vicepresident to circumvent their pay caps.

Virk has admitted he erred in agreeing to the payments in 2010 to 2012, saying he wasn’t properly informed of the rules. Virk told Eby in a May 27 letter the precise caps on publicsector pay aren’t made public so they don’t become a negotiating floor on salary when governing boards are in talks to hire new executives. Eby said continued secrecy around pay caps gives the appearance of a minister unwilling to properly enforce rules that he himself has broken. He said the situation is a mess because some schools have observed the caps, Kwantlen sought to hide extra payments and others “blatantly� spent more.

Soaring over Hell By Teresa Cline
SPECIAL TO KTW

HILE DRIVING THE Coquihalla Highway is no doubt the quickest way to get from Kamloops to Vancouver, the Fraser Canyon is the most beautiful. With seven tunnels cutting through the rugged mountains, magnificent views of the Fraser River and historic stops along the old Gold Rush trail, this route is well worth travelling the extra mile. Along the way, be sure to take a ride on the Hell’s Gate Airtram. One of the earliest explorers to navigate this area was Simon Fraser (May 20, 1776, to Aug. 18, 1862). This fur trader, who charted much of what is now British Columbia, was employed by the Montreal-based North West Company and was in charge of all the company’s operations west of the Rocky Mountains. He was also responsible for building that area’s first trading posts. The name Hells Gate was derived from Fraser’s journal. In 1808, he described this narrow passage
Fresh • Local • Sustainable •
as “a place where no human should venture, for surely these are the gates of Hell” and noted safe water transportation through the 115-foot-wide opening had proven impossible. For centuries, the narrow passage has been a popular fishing ground for First Nations communities in the area and, eventually, European settlers started to congregate there in the summer months to fish. In the 1860s, the Fraser Canyon became a route used by Gold Rush miners accessing the upper Fraser Basin. In the 1880s, the Canadian Pacific Railway built a transcontinental railroad that passed along the bank at Hells Gate and, in 1911, the Canadian Northern Railway began constructing a second track. In 1914, a large rockslide triggered by the railroad construction fell into the river at Hells Gate, obstructing the passage of Pacific salmon swimming upstream to spawn. As a result, the salmon population began to decline. In 1937, the International Pacific Fisheries Commission was formed by Canada and the United States. They carried out extensive research and recommended fishways be constructed to
help migrating salmon pass through Hells Gate. Building of the fishways began in 1944. In 1971, Hells Gate and its fishways became a tourist attraction with the completion of the Hell’s Gate Airtram. The tourist site now boasts food outlets, observation decks and an educational fisheries exhibit that displays short films on the area’s history, as well an ecological documentary on the salmon run. One of the first displays you will come across after exiting the tram is the Hells Gate Haunted Stove. Legend has it the stove was once manned by a skilled Chinese chef called Johnnie, who ensured railway workers always had a hearty, well-cooked meal to look forward to at the end of a hard day. One dark, moonless night, Johnnie mysteriously vanished and a replacement was hastily found — but, Johnnie’s stove refused to light. Many men tried but none of them could kindle a decent fire. In desperation, a group was sent out to find Johnnie and, after much searching, their favourite cook was found and returned to a hungry camp. Johnnie and his stove continued to turn
Remarkable
out delicious meals until his death on July 10, 1890. Every year on the anniversary of his death, the stove feels faintly warm even though no fire has been kindled in it since. Some believe there is a connection between this event and the eerie goingson in the gift shop — which occupies the original building that once housed Johnnies stove. The site is wheelchair accessible with handicap-parking stalls next to the main building. Visitors can hike down the mountain and cross into the village over the bridge or they can purchase a tram pass. Trams leave every 10 minutes.

Broncos rumble into 2014 campaign By Marty Hastings
Kamloops Broncos 2014 schedule
STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
LTERED CULTURE, DIFFERENT DEFENCE AND FRESH LOCAL TALENT have brought new hope to the Kamloops Broncos, but all the optimism emanating from Hillside Stadium will mean little if it doesn’t translate to wins. “We’ve got to set the tempo to the league, to the team that we are playing and to our opponent next week,” said Broncos’ wide receiver Derek Yachison, who attended B.C. Lions’ training camp in June. “We’re here, we’re back and we’re ready to go.” Kamloops opens the 2014 B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) season with an allimportant matchup against the Westshore Rebels of Victoria at Hillside on Saturday, July 26. Game time is 7 p.m. The league’s two-tier system sees the Broncos play three times each against the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack and Westshore, both of which are considered the BCFC’s weakest teams, along with Kamloops. The Vancouver Island Raiders, Langley Rams and Okanagan Sun of Kelowna are considered the league’s teams to beat. Vancouver Island won the league in 2013. For Kamloops, beating the lower-echelon squads — especially at home — is imperative, making the opener on Saturday one of the biggest tilts of the season. First-year general manager Jan Antons is making it a priority to create a winning atmosphere and he started with addition by subtraction on the roster. “We did lose a few big guys on the O-line, but a couple of them were cancers on the team,” said Broncos’ head coach Duncan Olthuis, entering his third season in charge. “The kids we have replacing them are smaller, faster and tenacious.” The revamped hogs will be charged with protecting either Stephen Schuweiler or Connor Whitelaw, the quarterbacks competing for the starting job.

Whichever pivot ends up under centre will be handing off to what the Broncos believe is a reliable stable of running backs, with Jacob Palmarin and newcomer Aaron Morran — a Lumsden, Sask., product who turned heads at training camp — expected to carry the bulk of the load. Yachison will lead the wideouts, with Devin Csincsa, Jesse Neufeld and Rudy Uhl among the receivers competing for reps. The other side of the ball seems to be the Broncos’ biggest question mark heading into the new campaign. Veteran safety Ben Hoffman of Kamloops is one of the only returning starters on defence and he said the team has “scrapped” last year’s playbook. The new system is just as unfamiliar to Hoffman as it is to the rookie-ladened unit, which will receive trial by fire on Saturday. “The amount of stuff we are getting in, it’s a steep learning curve, especially for
l a n i g i r ODEALER
the defence,” said Olthuis, also the team’s defensive co-ordinator. “They’re pretty young guys. We’ll see how Saturday goes for them.” The Broncos announced the signing of six local players earlier this month, bringing to 12 the number of players from the River City on the team. Only the 2007 expansion Broncos had more local talent, with 20 players from the Tournament Capital on the roster. Alex Beckett, Morgan Motokado, Dayton Schadlich, Tristan Murray, Gray Malcolm and Jared Poelzer are the six local 2014 signees. Hoffman, Whitelaw, Kyle Crall, Jack Gilliland, Cortnal Kennedy and Jake Bainas are the team’s returning Kamloops products. The Broncos posted a 2-7-1 record last season, advancing to the post-season for the first time in franchise history. Vancouver Island thumped the playoff

debutants 63-7 in the BCFC semifinal round. Kamloops’ all-time regular-season record is 14-55-1. Team president Dino Bernardo was thrilled to finally participate in a playoff game, but he wasn’t satisfied with the club’s sub-500 record. In one of the most-memorable showdowns in team history, Grady Chalmers of the Broncos blocked an extra-point against the Rebels with no time on the clock to seal a 37-36 win for Kamloops at Hillside on Sept. 14, 2013. It was the win that saw the muchmaligned franchise into the playoffs and it was a game played in front of a raucous crowd. Olthuis petitioned local football fans to do their part again on Saturday. “If we can have a crowd bigger than the last Westshore game and louder, that would be awesome,” Olthuis said. “That crowd that was there that week, it was great. If we can get that noise in the stands, the kids feed off that. “These games against Westshore and Chilliwack — those are the most important if we want to get back into the playoffs.”

Abbotsford blocking Kamloops’ path Heat women chase PCSL title By Marty Hastings

In their second year playing in the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) men’s premier division, the Kamloops Heat are within striking distance of the league title. The Challenge Cup — the PCSL’s fourteam championship tournament — will pit third-seed Kamloops versus the second-seed Abbotsford Mariners and top-seed Khalsa Sporting Club of Coquitlam against fourth-seed Coquitlam Metro Ford in semifinal play on Saturday, July 26, in Penticton. “At this stage of the game, it’s whoever can put 90 minutes of soccer together and get the lucky bounces,” Heat head coach Sean Wallace said. “It’s all about mental mistakes and who can make the least.” Kamloops played Abbotsford twice this season, winning 2-1 at Exhibition Park on June 15 and losing by the same scoreline against the hometown Mariners on June 22. “I figure you’d call this one the grudgematch tiebreaker,” Wallace said. “When you get to this point, it’s a onegame, winner-take-alltype-thing.” The Heat will be playing with a healthy squad, missing only
No longer can the Kamloops Heat women sneak up on their Pacific Coast Soccer League opponents. “I had hoped we could get to the spot where we established ourselves as a regular playoff contender,” Heat head coach Kelly Shantz said. “Even though we finished fourth this season, we’re pretty comfortably ahead of the teams behind us. We are part of the big kids now. We’re not fighting for recognition.” Fourth-seed Kamloops is slated to play the first-seed Peninsula Co-op Highlanders of Victoria in a Challenge Cup semifinal tilt on

Saturday, July 26, in Penticton. Winning on Saturday means advancing to the PCSL title tilt the following day. For three consecutive seasons, the Heat have advanced to the premier-division playoffs, last year upsetting the Highlanders in a thrilling semifinal match before losing to Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the final. In 2012, the first season Kamloops played in the premier division, the Heat made the playoffs on a technicality and lost in penalty kicks in a semifinal matchup against the Fraser Valley Action. Peninsula was the class of the league throughout the 2014 regular season, posting a perfect 10-0 record and claiming the maximum of 30 points. X See HIGHLANDERS A17

Abbotsford was 8-4-2. Justin Wallace of Kamloops finished as the league’s mostprolific goal scorer, finding the old onion bag 12 times. If the local side pulls out a win on Saturday, it will advance to the final the following day. Khalsa (9-3-2) is pegged as the odds-on favourite, but Wallace isn’t ruling out his team’s chances. “If we play the way we’ve been playing, we should have pretty good showing,” he said.

Highlanders present tough challenge X From A16
Kamloops (4-5-1) will be hard-pressed to knock off its first-round opponent, but last year’s upset victory is giving it cause for hope. “Last year taught us that we’re right there,” Shantz said. “If there’s one saving grace, it’s that this team is ready for the playoffs.” Kelsey Martin and
Blair MacKay, two of the Heat’s best players, will miss this weekend’s action due to work commitments. Peninsula won both its games against Kamloops this season — 3-1 on July 6 and 1-0 on July 12. “I was hoping for better results against the top two teams — Victoria and the Whitecaps,” Shantz
said. “That didn’t materialize. “We didn’t play complete games and that was probably our downfall.” The second-seed Whitecaps (7-3-0) — a year-round youth residency squad made up of 18-and-under players — will square off with third-seed Fraser Valley (5-4-1) in the other semifinal on Saturday.

With 398 runners on the docket as of Wednesday, July 23, the Kamloops Marathon is embarking on another record-setting year. The event, which includes three-kilometre, eight-km, half-marathon and marathon distances, gets underway on Sunday, July 27, at 6 a.m. In 2013, 374 runners participated in the races. “I’m thinking we could even approach 450,� race director Rick Jenkner told KTW. “I’m thinking, with the cooler weather, we’re going to get a ton of last-minute registrations.� Online registration will be open until midnight tonight (Thursday, July 24). Runners can register all day Friday at the Running Room or at Saturday’s race expo, which will be in the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre from noon to 6 p.m. The Kamloops Marathon underwent a number of changes in preparation for this year’s event, with all four races taking place on the same day and a flatter course for the eight-km distance. This year’s event also includes a pair of prize draws for airfare for two to the Boston Marathon. Jenkner said the event is still looking for volunteers.

But, it will need the community’s help in order to make it happen. “We’re still trying to get volunteers from our association,� said KMBA president Chris Balison. “Right now, it’s on the backs of the parents and they’d like to be able to enjoy the tournament and watch their kids play some baseball.
“It helps when we have support from the baseball community, to come out and help.� The association has pulled out all the stops for the 11-and-under championship, which will begin on Thursday, July 31, with opening ceremonies and a skills competition. Renovated fields, public-address systems, outfield grandstands and portable scoreboards are a few of the
items that will highlight the tournament. According to Balison, KMBA
attempts to play host to a provincial tournament each year. In 2013, the bantam AAA provincials took place in Kamloops. This year’s event has been taken to a new level, however, in recognition of the association’s 50th anniversary in the Tournament Capital. “We’ve really just tried to celebrate baseball in Kamloops,�
Balison said. Increased registration, a record number of all-star teams and the Sussex Insurance All-Star Tournament have highlighted the anniversary season. “Now, it’s coming to a conclusion with this provincial championship,� Balison said. People interested in volunteering can contact Nicole Petrie at mnpetrie@shaw.ca.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô TAYLOR November 26, 1923 – July 16, 2014 It is with sadness that we go forward into a world of which Theodore (Ted) Calder Taylor is no longer a part, but with great joy that we possess the memory of him and the knowledge that he is happily reunited with long-missed family and friends. Ted became a certified watchmaker and opened Taylor’s Jewellery upon moving to Merritt in 1957 where he enjoyed serving Merritt and outlying areas until his retirement in 1988. An integral member of his community, Ted was active in the Lion’s Club and Legion and sat as chairman of the hospital board when the new facility was built. Selling poppies, flipping pancakes, calling bingo on Merritt’s local station (“clickity-click sixty-six”) and picking up garbage in the downtown core – all in a day’s work for a gentle, happy soul who loved his town. Ted is survived by his wife Lonie, his children Wendy (Darcy) and Jay (Debra), his grandchildren Jamie (Jason), Dylan (Megan), Carly (Gage), Ashlee and Dallas, his sister Louise, his nieces Margaret, Elaine (Rob), Barb (Vic) and Diane, and nephews Brian (Phyllis) and Bobby. Ted has been known by a few different titles in Merritt due to his involvement in organizations and community events, but none are dearer to his family than the following: Dad, Grandad, Grandpa, Teddy, Ted C. Taylor and Yes Ted. The first three are self-explanatory, of course, but the latter three should be defined. “Teddy”: A name he was often called by close friends, especially if they were telling humorous stories about the past. As his family it brings to mind Ted’s playfulness. The stories were never as entertaining as the teller when Ted would get the giggles while trying to get something out to everyone. Tears would stream down his reddened face while he gasped for air, attempting to finish the story. ”Ted C. Taylor”: Usually the name on mail. Prior to her passing, Ted’s sister Lorraine recounted how excited she would get as a little girl when mail showed up with that name on it after Ted left home to find work in the Interior because it meant a little extra money for the family. Lorraine held a special place in Ted’s heart and he lit up watching her enjoy telling the story over 50 years later. He lit up because his sister was having fun and it brought Ted great pleasure to witness others bask in the light. He also lit up because Ted felt a great sense of duty to his family, friends and community, so the confirmation that he helped lighten the load of others was appreciated. “Yes Ted”: Ted’s wife, Lonie, surprised him with a personalized license plate that read “Yes Ted” because it was joked that she thought that was his name. But while Lonie supported and stood by Ted for 64 years, “Yes Ted” did not emerge due to her obediently taking orders as the name could imply. Lonie spent the better part of a century saying “Yes Ted” because while at home working on a task Ted would frequently stop what he was doing to make the rounds of the house to check on everyone and see if anything was needed, so several times a day one would hear Ted say, “You OK Shoog?” (short for “sugar”) to which Lonie would reply, “Yes Ted.” Never could a man genuinely make people feel so cherished. Thank you Merritt for filling Ted’s heart with purpose since he moved here in 1957. Many dinners went cold but he was always happy to lend his time to make a positive impact on his community and help a friend. He was an amazing role model to his children and grandchildren, a wise word to his siblings, and a loving husband to his “Shoog.”

In loving memory of
BOB VALLASTER March 5, 1935 - Dec 31, 2013 Robert Donald Vallaster was born in Vernon, BC to Ferdinand and Evelyn Vallaster, along side his sisters and brother, Adela, Dianne, Gale and Don, and his cousins, aunts and uncles, all amongst the fruit orchards, lakes and blue skies of the Okanagan Valley. Bob left home to join the Airforce and attain a University Degree, and set out on a long journey full of stops in bouts of 2 or 3 years, all across Canada, as a Radar Technician for the RCAF, later, the CAF. Early in his travels, Bob met his first wife, Ruth Madsen, the mother of his 4 children in Eastern Canada, they were married, and within a few years Kris, Wendy, Lis and Tracey were born. Together, as a family we explored Canada … its lakes, forests, seaside, mountains and countryside by boat, foot, snowmobiles, sleds and skis! We fished, made maple syrup, and adventured, leaving all of us with a plethora of skills, and the drive to continue exploring the world throughout our lives. Bob left Kamloops and his old life in the late ‘70s for Saskatchewan, completing an extra leg of service with the CAF, and met his second wife Vange, re-married, and adopted her two young girls, Alison and Cherise. After completing his service with the CAF, our dad opened a health food store in Yorkton, called ‘The Good Earth’, and ran it for many years. A few years after leaving Kamloops, his first grandson, Klyde was born, followed by Lauren, later Krista, and just very recently, by Johannes. Since then, a new generation has formed, lead by Rylan, Heidi, Oliver Finn, and Ocea Mae, soon to be complimented by a fifth little girl sometime later this year. We’ve all enjoyed our time with, and loved our father, husband, grandfather, and great-grandfather over the years … all in our own ways, and from near and far. In the end though, he lost a lengthy battle with cancer during the last few months of 2013. We will be spreading his ashes and saying our goodbyes this coming weekend and will be welcoming his close friends, co-workers and family for a small celebration of his life on Monday, August 4, from 1-4pm at our Mom’s (Ruth Madsen) home located at 170 Nicola St, Kamloops BC.
BLACKWELL On July 15, 2014, Violet (Vi) Blackwell passed away at the Kamloops Hospice Home at the age of 82 years.
Born in Victoria, BC where she lived until 1941 when she moved to Smithers for the next 29 years. Phyllis met Bill while out for a stroll with a girlfriend viewing the sights from the Bulkley River bridge and they were married in 1944. Phyllis worked for the Government Agent in Smithers until the birth of their son Bob in 1947. Phyllis took a few years off then returned to the work force with the Lands Department where she managed the office for the various Land Inspectors who transferred in and out of the region.
Born in Huntingdon, Quebec on August 5, 1931, she moved to Ontario to raise her family before coming to British Columbia to live, first in Barriere and then, later, in Kamloops.
While in Smithers Phyllis and Bill loved the outdoors and they were one of the first to build a cabin on Babine Lake which they enjoyed until their move to Kamloops. A number of good friends also built cabins nearby enjoying the fishing and the nightly card games.
Her generous spirit inspired her to donate many of the quilts she made over the years to both Hospice and the Royal Inland Hospital. And she had a love for wildlife, particularly felines, and decorated her home with pictures and figurines of cats of all kinds.
On February 1,1969 they moved to Kamloops where many Smithers friends had relocated. Phyllis loved travelling and camping with her husband and spent many years at Shuswap Lake with family and friends. She spent many hours helping at the United Church and especially enjoyed the fellowship there. She spent many afternoons playing bridge with her friends, which brought her great enjoyment. Mom was such a kind, caring, nurturing soul until it came to rooting for and defending her Vancouver Canucks. They were her team and not to be messed with.
Vi was a source of joy and inspiration for many people, a woman who loved to laugh and who loved to make others laugh. She lived to get out on her scooter and enjoy the outdoors, and she had a particular fondness for sunflowers.
Most of all she loved her friends and her family, and could often be found enjoying a game of cards or scrabble with those closest to her. Even in her final days, she worked hard to make things easier for those closest to her, her friends and her family. Her kindness and compassion will be missed by family, friends, and all those who were lucky enough to have known her. She is survived by Cindy Blackwell (Barry Zimmerman); Val (Pete) Baldwin; and her six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by sons Terry and Mike Blackwell.
CARMICHAEL It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mary Louise Carmichael (nee Gordon) on Friday, July 18, 2014. Mary died peacefully, surrounded by her family at Royal Inland Hospital. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of 45 years, Brian, and her children Colin (Heather) and Mathew. Mary was born in Cranbrook, BC in 1944, to James and Ann Gordon. Along with five brothers (Dennis, Jack, Alan, Ian, Jim) and one sister (Noreen), Mary was raised in a loving family full of faith, friendship, and support. She leaves her sister, Noreen Kennedy, brothers Dennis (Mary Anne), Jack (Beth), and Alan (Karen), and sisters-in-law Catherine Gordon and Sandi Gordon. She also leaves behind beloved nephews and nieces, cousins, and friends. Mary met Brian while working in Prince Rupert. They married in 1969 and travelled the world together for four years, living in Europe and South Africa, which was an incredibly special time that provided them with countless memories of their adventures as well as lifelong friends. Returning to Cranbrook, Mary and Brian welcomed Colin in 1976 and Mathew in 1978. In 1987 the family moved to Kamloops, where they made their home. A lifelong lover of crafts and arts, Mary worked at Impressions Stamp Gallery in Kamloops, where she made friends and acquaintances running cardmaking and stamping workshops. She then owned the shop until it closed, happy to be part of the Kamloops business community and proud to have her own business. Nothing made Mary happier than spending time with her family. She both loved to hear a good story and to spin one herself. She will always be remembered for her generosity, her warmth, her wonderful sense of humour, and her fantastic laugh. A celebration of Mary’s life will take place Saturday, July 26, 2014 at Schoening Funeral Home at 2 p.m., followed by a reception.

EDNA MARGARET ALMOND With deep sadness we announce the passing of Edna Margaret Almond at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, BC, on Monday, July 21, 2014 at the age of 91. Edna was born in Souris, PEI, on May 30, 1923 and was the eldest child of St. Clair and Matilda Paquet. She was predeceased by her husband of over 54 years, Kenneth Alexander Almond, her son Douglas Stewart Almond at the age of 33 and her granddaughter, Kimberly Michelle Almond at the age of 20, as well as her parents and many other family members. She is survived by son Ken, his wife Dana, his daughter Lisa (Xavier) and Lisa’s mother Dianne, daughter Claire, her husband John and children John, Jerry, Kerri (Ceri), Wayne and Daniel, daughter Catherine and children Ryan and Jennifer (Robert) and grandson Douglas Jr. as well as numerous great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her loving siblings, Grace, Elinor, Claire and Alan (Maureen) and their families, all living in the Maritimes. Grandma loved all of her family but particularly took great joy in her grand and great-grandchildren. She was so proud of each and every one of them. Edna, our dear mom and grandmother, was a true Prince Edward Island Spudder, and was so proud to be born and raised on the Island. Lobster and other seafood were always on the top of the list of her favorite foods. After graduating high school at the age of 16 and then business school, Mom moved to Halifax against her father’s wishes but ultimately with his blessings. It was here, during wartime, she met her blue-eyed musician husband, Ken, who was serving in the navy. They were married in 1944 and Ken Jr. arrived a year later. Mom and baby headed out west in the summer of 1945 to Ashcroft, BC, and lived there until Ken Sr. was discharged from the navy. The two easterners arrived in the dead heat of the night, pitch black, to their new home province. She thought she had gone to another planet. She missed her island and her family but was prepared to embark on a new adventure, starting her own family out west where she spent the rest of her life. Following Ashcroft, they moved first to Vancouver, then Penticton, where her three other children were born. The family then moved to Kamloops in 1963. Mom was an avid card player, crib and bridge her favorites, and she was unbeatable even at age 90! She was such a good bowler she was given the nickname Fast Eddy and she represented Kamloops in many provincial tournaments. She also loved playing shuffleboard when she and Ken wintered in Palm Springs. She was an avid sports fan attending the Kamloops Blazers games for many years and cheering on the Expos and then the Blue Jays, and the Canucks. Her goal was to live to see the 2010 Winter Games when they were in Vancouver. She got her wish and a new goal was set to see the Sochi Olympics which she did. Mom was a proud member of The Catholic Women’s League for over 60 years, holding many executive positions. She volunteered for many years with the Cancer Society and Seniors Centre. Mom was a very social person, loved to talk and share stories and was very blessed to have many friends who supported her over the years and who didn’t mind getting beaten at cards. A Funeral Mass in celebration of Edna’s life will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 255 Nicola Street, Kamloops on Friday, July 25 at 11:00 a.m. with Reverend Father Paul Simms officiating. The family thanks you for your love and prayers at this time and wish to thank Dr. Baker and the doctors and nurses at Royal Inland Hospital for their exceptional care. We also give thanks for the love and support given Mom by Fathers Simms and Kim and Sisters Marie and Annalisa of Sacred Heart Cathedral. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society as Mom was a cancer survivor for many years. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Fewer crimes being committed, and Baird defends Israel after UN council decision on Gaza less severe, say number crunchers CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird is once again maligning the United Nations, accusing its humanrights council of singling out Israel and making no mention of Hamas in its resolution on the Gaza conflict. The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) voted 29-1 on Wednesday to authorize an international commission of inquiry to investigate all alleged abuses since mid-June in the Gaza Strip. The U.S. was the only opposing vote. Canada is not a member of the UNHRC. The UN’s top human-rights official, Navi Pillay, has also demanded that all sides in the two-week war in the Gaza Strip refrain from indiscriminate attacks on civilians, warning that violations may amount to war crimes. In a statement, Baird accused the council of ignoring Hamas’s terrorist acts as it “continues to
Air Canada cancels flights to Israel TORONTO — Air Canada has cancelled another scheduled flight from Toronto to Tel Aviv due to security concerns at Israel’s main airport. The airline says Flight AC84, scheduled to leave this afternoon, and Thursday’s return Flight AC85 have been cancelled. The Federal Aviation Administration also extended its ban on U.S. flights to the Israeli city. The U.S. and European aviation agencies instituted the flight ban Tuesday in response to a rocket strike that landed close to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport. The FAA says it is working closely with the Israeli government to review new information they have provided and to determine whether safety concerns have been resolved.
indiscriminately fire rockets into Israeli communities, striking fear in millions of Israelis. “Canada is frustrated and deeply disappointed that the UNHCR decided to completely ignore the abhorrent terrorist acts of Hamas,’’ he added. “This resolution turns a blind eye to the facts on the ground and that one party is responsible for the suffering of the Palestinian people, and that is the international terrorist group Hamas.’’ He adds that failure to condemn the “reprehensible actions of Hamas has only emboldened
its brutality and encouraged these terrorists to continue their inexcusable actions.’’ Israeli officials, meantime, said that the council’s decision to investigate Israel’s role in the conflict sent a message to extremist groups around the world that using human shields — which it accuses Hamas of doing — was an “effective strategy.’’ Baird has frequently taken aim at the UN for its stances on the Middle East and Syria, including Pillay in recent weeks as the Gaza conflict intensified.
Burnaby man facing terror charge for allegedly training in Syria CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man has been charged under a new anti-terrorism law for allegedly leaving the country to join Islamist fighters in Syria. It’s the first time the recent Criminal Code legislation has been used as a tool to fight terrorism, said Cpl. David Falls. Police say 25-year-old Hasibullah Yusufzai is accused of committing an offence for the benefit of a terrorist group or was directed by or associated with such a group. “The individual is known to have travelled to Syria to join Islamist fighters,’’ the RCMP said in a statement. It’s alleged Yusufzai left Canada on Jan. 21. “This case underscores the reality that there are individuals in Canada who have embraced the extremist ideology and who are willing to act upon it,’’ the RCMP statement said. “More importantly, it highlights the fact that there are new tools within the Criminal Code that enhance the RCMP’s ability to counter terrorist activity.’’ A woman who answered the phone at Yusufzai’s home in Burnaby said he wasn’t there, then said she didn’t speak English.
Roh Yusufzai told The Globe and Mail his brother wasn’t in Syria and went to Turkey for the month of Ramadan. He said his brother is not capable of joining a terrorist group or being violent. Mounties say they’re working on the case with their international partners. “The RCMP is concerned about Canadians travelling abroad to participate in terrorist-related criminal activity,’’ the statement said. It said countering radicalization to violence also depends on the public taking an active role, including helping police by reporting suspicious or and illegal activity. “In conjunction with local police, the RCMP outreach and engagement activities are designed to help Canadian communities and families see the indicators of vulnerability to violent extremism, and understand the responsibilities they share with law enforcement in maintaining Canada’s national security.’’ RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said the investigation underscores the reality that there are people leaving Canada to take part in terrorist activities. He said the new legislation enhances the force’s ability to combat terrorists activity.
OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the number of crimes committed was lower last year, but so was the severity of those criminal acts. The agency says the police-reported Crime Severity Index fell by nine per cent in 2013, the tenth consecutive annual decline. The index, which measures the volume and severity of crime based on average prison sentences handed down for convictions, was 36 per cent lower in 2013 than a decade earlier. StatsCan says the traditional crime rate also declined last year compared with 2012 by eight per cent. The national crime rate has been on a downward slide since the early 1990s, reaching its lowest level last year since 1969. Canadian police services reported just over 1.8-million Criminal Code offences were committed in 2013, down approximately 132,000 from the previous year. Most offences were down, but there were increases in the number of some offences reported, including extortion, identity theft, aggravated sexual assault, child pornography and sexual violations against children.
MARCEL JOSEPH LAVOIE
Most provinces and territories recorded a decrease in the severity of crimes committed, except in the Yukon and Newfoundland and Labrador, where they saw slight increases. Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec and Manitoba recorded the largest declines among the provinces and territories. On a municipal scale, none of Canada’s census metropolitan areas recorded increases in crime severity. And Victoria saw the biggest decline compared with 2012, down by 17 per cent. The violent CSI fell 10 in 2013 compared with the previous year, says StatsCan, marking the seventh consecutive decrease. Police services reported approximately 384,000 violent incidents last year, down about 32,000 from 2012, mainly resulting from a drop in robberies. Homicides were also down. Police reported 505 of them in 2013, down 38 from 2012. The homicide rate was also at its lowest level since 1966, at 1.44 victims per 100,000 population. — Canadian Press

He held his Karate Master Aki and his family in the highest regards. Although Marcel had struggles in his life he was a hard worker in many trades. Some of these trades led him over seas from construction to the installation of house alarms. He had a big love for people and in return they loved him back. He will be missed but not forgotten by all that knew him. A Funeral Mass will take place at 2:30 pm on Saturday, July 26, 2014 in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 635 Tranquille Road with Reverend Father Peter Hoan Nguyen officiating. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to St. Vincent De Paul. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

RADIO RATINGS — WHAT DO THEY MEAN? By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
M
OST LISTENED-TO. Highest rated. No. 1. While a spring ratings survey places radio stations B100 and Radio NL at the top of the charts — using two different measurements — those in the industry say the numbers don’t tell the real story, that ratings are notoriously flaky and can be sliced and
diced to say pretty much anything to potential advertisers. Kamloops is a competitive radio market with two private firms along with Canada’s public broadcaster offering six stations in formats ranging from talk radio to classic rock and country. “You ask the radio stations and they’ll provide you with a report they’re No. 1,” said Kristen Rodrigue, a media buyer and partner at Kamloops ad agency Pulse Group. Radio and television ratings in this
country are compiled by Numeris, which recently changed its name from Bureau of Broadcast Measurement and is still broadly known as BBM. The BBM books are not publicly released but the agency does publish an everything-piled-in statistic. Those numbers place Radio NL with the largest share at 18.9 per cent. It is followed by CBC Kamloops at 16 per cent and Country 103 (also operated by the NL ownership) at third with a 15.7 per cent share.

Numbers reward stations turned on, left on X From B1
But this number, as is the case with the entire BBM system, is only one way — and an unhelpfully broad one — to look at listenership. Share percentage attempts to measure by hours, counting all hours each radio in every car and home in Kamloops is tuned in to a particular station. The result is split by a percentage of those hours. The number tends to reward stations that are turned on and left on, no matter how engaged the listener. Neil Rachynski, general manager of advertising at Pulse Group, said country music listeners fit this bill, calling them “incredibly loyal. “They’ll camp there and stay there.” While CBC Kamloops and Country 103 ranked No. 2 and No. 3 for share percentage, behind Radio NL — showing a loyal listenership that tunes in for long periods — they ranked No. 5 (Country 103) and No. 6 (CBC) for central reach. Central reach is the other published metric, measuring the number of people who tune into a particular station at least 15 minutes in one week. By that number, Jim Pattison Broadcasting Group’s B100 pop-hits station is No. 1, followed by NL’s similar pop-based River. B100 and the River, however, are fifth and sixth respectively in market share — showing a broad audience that doesn’t park itself all day on
New technology pricey, Kamloops radio ratings measured old-fashioned way For the foreseeable future, radio and TV measurements in Kamloops will rely on old-fashioned diaries filled out by people recruited over the phone and paid a nominal amount for filling out diaries. Personal people meters, technology worn by listeners that picks up and logs a special signal on the air, “is extremely expensive today for a market the size of Kamloops,” said Catherine Kelly, vice-president of
those stations. “Our stations are well-rated. Yet, if I could do without BBM tomorrow, I would do that,” said Robbie Dunn, president of NL Radio. Dunn is skeptical of the numbers based on how many diaries are returned as well as accuracy of respondents. And, even the electronic people metres in larger markets are prone to skewing numbers, Dunn said, because they are given out to a small number of listeners. He said soft rock/ oldies station CISL in Vancouver once rated No. 1 on the male 25 to 34 demographic, something he called “impossible.

electronic measurement at Numeris. But, Kelly added, the company is looking to bring a “modification” of the technology to this market in the future in a bid to bring greater accuracy and certainty to its statistics. Kelly responded with a “couldn’t say” when asked which station in the city can claim it is No. 1. Based on the published spring rating “B-100 would have more people. NL is lower in central reach. It
“It might be a crooked poker game, but it’s the only game in town.” Both Pulse Group’s Rodrigue and Rachynski mentioned CIFM — fourth in both share and central reach — has long been considered the 800-pound gorilla in this market because it is targeted at a young male demographic buying trucks and stereos. “The question is not who has the greatest number of listeners, but who has the greatest number of my customers,” said Rachynski, who has worked in radio, television and newspapers. The published Numeris numbers include all listeners
reaches fewer people. On the other side, people listening to NL are contributing proportionately more time.” Kelly also warned numbers may vary based on the season and what programming is on offer. “If you provide hockey and the playoffs are on and your team is winning, certainly things like that can contribute.” Radio NL president Robbie Dunn remains a skeptic. He said while
BBM books are published for this market, his stations largely ignore them based on his long history with the system. “There’s something like 50 to 60 different points of BBM we used to look at. We finally gave up. We had BBM people trying to tell us why the numbers were moving around so much, when no one was doing anything different . . . . There’s no explanation.”
12-plus — and no advertiser in this market is selling anything to 12- to 16-year-olds. The broadly lumped demographic of listeners aged 25 to 54 is the most important metric, said Rod Schween, president of Jim Pattison Broadcast Group. “That’s what the majority of advertising buying is done on. “They’re [numbers for share and central reach] totally different.” Like Dunn, Schween said BBM ratings here aren’t stressed by sales representatives to their customers. “I tend not to make them a really big deal . . . . There’s so many different demographics. “You can’t slice it one way and get an accurate view.” Rodrigue agreed. She said advertisers will sometimes purchase based on the most unscientific method of all — their own personal taste. “I don’t know anyone who understands the books, let alone buys by them. “Most people will buy the station they listen to.”

There was a post on a top rebelcommander’s site, just at the time MH17 went down, claiming to have downed a Ukrainian transport plane. Within hours that post was deleted. Then, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) posted intercepted telephone conversations between rebel commanders on YouTube. “Demon,” commanding the rebel troops who are the first to the crash site, reports: “Cossacks from the Chernunkhino checkpoint shot down the plane. . . . They found the first body. It’s a civilian.” “Were there many people?” asks his superior, nicknamed “Greek.” A huge number, replies Demon. “The debris rained right into the yards.” “Any weapons there?” asks Greek. “None at all. Civilian things. Medical stuff, towels, toilet paper,” says Demon. There’s no way, without access to the crash site and with only a few hours to do the job, that the Ukrainian intelligence service could have come up with that kind of detail to put into a fake recording. It’s genuine. The rebels did it. Russia didn’t want the Cossacks at Chernunkhino to shoot down a civilian airliner, but it has been giving the rebels heavy weapons while strenuously denying it. It has been caught red-handed and hundreds have died. This is indeed a game-changer — but,

in which direction? One option would be for Moscow to admit it, apologize wholeheartedly and abandon its clients in eastern Ukraine. That is unlikely to happen. As President Vladimir Putin said: “This tragedy would not have occurred if there were peace in that country or, in any case, if hostilities had not resumed in southeast Ukraine. And certainly, the government over whose territory it occurred is responsible for this terrible tragedy.” In other words, yeah, we gave the rebels the weapons and they used them to shoot down the airliner, but the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if the Ukrainian government had just given in to the rebels. So it’s really Kiev’s fault, not ours. The signs are clear: Russia is going to brazen it out and go on supplying the separatist rebels with weapons. The Western Europeans have been trying to look the other way (although the United States did impose some extra sanctions), but they can’t look away after this. Western sanctions against Russia are going to go up quickly and steeply now. It’s already ugly — and it’s going to get even uglier.

AUTO MARKET Sail Canada, its provincial partners and the entire sailing community are focused on two key areas for improvement: Increasing accessibility to grow the sport for all Canadians and fostering the quality of sailing to achieve better and better results across all domestic and international competitions for all participants.
Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription
With fully independent front and rear suspension systems, the sixth-generation Ford Mustang is expected to be the nimblest and most comfortable example of the breed to date. Mustang EcoBoost and Mustang GT fastback customers can also add an available performance pack for maximum all-around capability, continuing 50 years of Mustang personalization. With a new platform and fully independent suspension, the 2015 Ford Mustang sets new handling benchmarks for the brand, achieving world-class performance in both dynamics and ride quality. Despite being much stronger, this is a very efficient horse, with a body-in-white that is actually lighter than the previous version. This was achieved through extensive use of advanced technologies and materials including hydroforming, laser welding and high-strength steels. Lightweight aluminum is used for the hood and front fenders to help reduce body mass and improve the weight balance. Attention to detail throughout the design process yielded significant weight savings that helped to offset the increases from adding performance-enhancing features such as larger, more powerful brakes and independent rear suspension. Mustang EcoBoost fastback has best-ever weight distribution for a Mustang, with 52 per cent of its weight over the front axle and 48 per cent to the rear, while Mustang GT has 53 per cent of its mass on the front wheels. In combination with a lineup of new or upgraded powerplants, Mustang improves on its already leading power-to-weight ratios. Mustang EcoBoost carries fewer than 11.36 pounds per horsepower, while Mustang GT has as little as 8.52 pounds per horsepower. The suspension architecture is based on a lower control arm, integral link,

2015 Expedition ready for the open road The 2015 Ford Expedition is a full-size utility vehicle for consumers who want capability, classleading maximum cargo space in the extendedlength version and the latest advanced technologies. The 2015 Expedition goes on sale later this year with a refreshed new look, a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine that also powers the industry-leading Ford F-150, and a quieter cabin with more technology than previous-generation vehicles. It will be the latest Ford nameplate to offer a high-end Platinum series. Expedition, which debuted in 1996, is Ford’s largest utility vehicle, with seating for eight. The standard 2015 Expedition, one of two versions available, has three rows of seats and up to 108.3 cubic feet of cargo space. It sits on a 119-inch wheelbase, making it a little more than six inches longer than Ford Explorer. A longer-wheelbase version — 131 inches — has three rows of seats and best-in-class maximum cargo space of 130.8 cubic feet. Expedition will continue to feature an independent rear suspension to deliver a more confident ride and great handling characteristics. The suspension also allows a more convenient fold-flat third-row bench seat and low load-floor height. The new Expedition features the latest technologies, including available SYNC with MyFord Touch, passive entry with push-button start and blind-spot information system with cross-traffic alert. The new 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine, using direct injection and twin turbochargers, provides more power, efficiency and performance than the 5.4-litre V8 in the current model. In response to customer demand, Ford will introduce a top-ofthe-line Platinum series Expedition with unique, refined interior appointments. The 2015 Expedition lineup also includes XLT, Limited and King Ranch series. The design team incorporated specific themes to define the look for each series and reflect a different consumer lifestyle.
Sonata earns safety praise from IIHS The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is rated as one of the safest cars on the road today. The Sonata was named a 2014 Top Safety Pick+, when equipped with optional forward collision warning, by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS). Available with a host of active safety features such as forward collision warning, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, a lane-Departure warning system and rear parking sensors, the 2015 Sonata brings a new level of
safety and refinement to the midsize sedan category. Sonata joins the 2015 Genesis in earning the highest honor from IIHS. IIHS rates vehicles in a moderate overlap front crash, small overlap front crash, side-impact and rollover test, and evaluates seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear-impact collisions. Additionally, IIHS evaluates available front crash prevention systems that aim to prevent a crash or lessen its severity.
The 2015 Ford Expedition is the most powerful, fuelefficient Expedition ever, with a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine and SelectShift sixspeed transmission under the hood.

Aston Martin Roadster an invitation to excitement Aston Martin is opening up a new world of exhilarating driving excitement with the announcement of the hotly anticipated 2015 V12 Vantage S Roadster. When it arrives in markets around the world later this year, the new sports car will become the luxury British marque’s mostpotent, fastest and fast-
est-accelerating series production roadster to date and follows in the broad tire tracks of the V12 Vantage S Coupe that was launched to worldwide acclaim in 2013. Equipped with the latest 565-hp Aston Martin AM28 6.0-litre V12 engine, featuring state-of-the-art Bosch engine management, the car is capable of reach-
ing 201 mph and sprinting from 0-60 mph in only 3.9 seconds. With 457 lb/ft of torque available at 5,750 rpm the V12 Vantage S Roadster is not to be found wanting in this vital department. As with its coupe sibling, racecar technology runs right through the DNA of the V12 Vantage S Roadster with, for instance, CNC
machined combustion chambers and hollow
camshafts just two examples of track tech-
nology feeding through to the road.
Another clear example is the new car’s gearbox, the Sportshift III ASM (auto-shift manual) transmission. Engineered to exploit the full sporting potential of the V12 engine, the latest generation Sportshift III hydraulically actuated automated manual transmission provides motorsport-style paddle shift changes.
