Not much support for Cavers’ pesticide bylaw By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A proposed ban on all cosmetic-pesticide use in the City of Kamloops isn’t finding much support from city council. Coun. Donovan Cavers is bringing forth a notice of motion today, proposing the city pass a bylaw to ban all cosmetic-pesticide use. The bylaw would come into effect in two stages. First, the city would stop using pesticides on its own properties as of August. On January 1, 2013, the ban would take effect in the rest of the city. This will be the second time Cavers has proposed a pesticide ban. In February, he introduced a similar notice

“In terms of an all-over cosmetic-pesticide ban, I would wait to see what the province does.” Councillors Marg Spina and Tina Lange are concerned Cavers’ proposed bylaw would be too restrictive. Lange would like to see a ban on pesticides for the general public: “It’s not necessary to spray chemicals to kill dandelions — dandelions are people, too.” Spina said she has questions about the science behind the ban and thinks it could be too limiting should the city need to deal with invasive-plant species. “If we don’t have something in place for invasive weeds and we go to such a drastic step as saying no pesticides, what do you do then?” X See CAVERS A14

Tragic death in crash followed accidental shooting By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

One man is dead and another is in hospital after a celebration in the bush south of Kamloops took a tragic turn on the weekend. Emergency crews were called to the area of Scuitto Lake, about 20 kilometres south of Barnhartvale, just before 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 26, after a 25-year-old Kamloops man called 911 to say he’d been shot in the wrist by accident. The victim and a friend then got into a truck to drive to meet an ambulance.

In the area of Robbins Range and Campbell Range roads, the driver of the truck lost control. The vehicle rolled and both men were ejected. They were flown by air ambulance to Royal Inland Hospital. The 25-year-old shooting victim — identified as Michael Benjamin Kirkey — died six hours later as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. The other man is listed in serious condition. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said the men were among a larger group partying in the remote area, shooting clay pigeons with shotguns. “It was a celebration of some sort that brought these

people together,” he said, adding alcohol likely played a role in the events. Ward described the area as a “back-bush” section of private property. He said it’s still unclear if the group was allowed to be on the property or if the shooting was done legally. But, he said, investigators are fairly certain the initial shotgun injury was not intentional. “The whole totality will be looked at,” he said. “But, at this point, we believe it’s accidental.” Ward said the investigation is ongoing, adding Mounties are looking to speak with anyone who was at the party who has not already talked with police.

Suspect in assault turns himself in to police By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Apparently, his conscience got the best of him. A Kamloops man is in custody, having turned himself in to police hours after a violent attack and attempted rape of a woman walking home on the North Shore. “Obviously, this individual has a conscience and that conscience came through,” Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said. On Sunday, May 27, Mounties issued a public-safety bulletin after a woman was attacked in the area of Tranquille Road and Nicolani Drive. The incident took place at about 2:40 a.m.

Police said the 33-year-old victim had been at a house party and was walking home after being dropped off by a cab a few blocks away. Investigators believe she was approached from behind by a man who covered her mouth. She fought back, biting his hand. Police said the victim was left with facial injuries after being pushed against a wall and then to the ground, where the suspect attempted to assault her before fleeing. Ward said the suspect — 34-year-old Michael McLean — turned himself in later Sunday morning. The victim, he said, is out of hospital and “doing well.” It’s still unknown if the suspect and victim are known to each other. The circumstances of the incident are similar to an attack in

April on a 17-year-old girl in the area of Schubert Drive and Spruce Avenue. In that case, the victim told police she was grabbed from behind and punched in the head. Ward said investigators will examine any potential links. “We’re going to look at the totality of all other events that might be similar,” he said. “We’ll see if anything fits.” In 2007, McLean was placed on an 18-month probation order after being convicted on charges of breach and uttering threats. He was detained by a justice of the peace on the weekend and is expected to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, May 30, for a bail hearing.

City ‘cutting edge’ in services to disabled By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Todd Harding, chair of the city’s advisory committee for people witgh disabilities, is proud of the work that has been done in Kamloops to integrate the disabled in the community. KTW file photo

Harding, who is blind, said it was only the second election in which he’s participated where he didn’t need help filling out the ballot. The first was B.C.’s last provincial vote, which inspired the

As Disability Awareness Week continues in the Tournament Capital, Todd Harding is finding plenty of which to be proud. “I think Kamloops is excellent,” said the chairman of the Mayor’s Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities. “I think it’s a groundbreaker. I think it’s cutting-edge.” Harding said the week, which runs from May 27 to June 2, is a chance to talk about the accomplishments of people with disabilities, as well as accessibility challenges still in the city. In the last 12 months, Harding said the city has made big improvements to its services for people with disabilities. In November, Kamloops became the first city in B.C. to hold a fully accessibly election, using a ballot that could be filled out unassisted by people with visual impairments.

ties when they access city services. City bus drivers are also planning to take the course. Outside of city hall, the committee is working with businesses interested in improving accessibility to their shops and offices. “It’s a two-way street,” said Harding. “It improves access to the building, but also improves the business’ access to more customers.” Harding said he thinks of Kamloops as one of the best cities for people with disabilities to live in because the disabled community has developed a relationship with its local government. “I think we as a community of people with disabilities have been persistent — and in a positive way, not a reactive way,” he said. “There’s a lot to still do, but we’ve come a tremendously long way and, as we bring things forward, they’re getting addressed.”

Gore makes science real By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Gordon Gore, a former Kamloops high school teacher and founder of the Big Little Science Centre, was honoured on Saturday, May 26, for his ability to make science come alive. Gore received the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Award for the promotion of science. The award is given annually to people who have made outstanding contributions in generating interest in the subject, which Gore has spent his entire career doing.

He has been teaching for six decades, he has written books on physics and he started what is arguably his biggest contribution, the Big Little Science Centre. Gore accepted the award at the centre’s new home

in the former George Hilliard elementary building on the North Shore, where he spoke to a crowd of about 75 people. Former colleagues and students were among those in attendance, while Mayor Peter Milobar and Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake spoke. UBC professors Alice and Barb Mui also attended the ceremony. The sisters graduated from Westsyde secondary in the early 1980s, when Gore taught them physics. Gore was a teacher at Westsyde from 1972 to 1986. Alice and Barb said Gore was an inspirational teacher, adding they are two of five Westsyde graduates from that era who became professors at UBC in science or medicine. Barb teaches biochemistry and Alice teaches immunology. “He made us see that science is part of everyday life,” Alice said. “It’s nothing spooky or scary or hard. It’s everywhere.” Gore is best known for the Big Little Science Centre, which has expanded from one room at David Thompson elementary to the six rooms used today at the former George Hilliard elementary. The centre has hosted about 100,000 visitors since it opened in 2000. “Teachers bring their classes here because we have the facilities, the equipment and the expertise to provide science experiments that are not readily available in the typical classroom,” said Gore during his acceptance speech. He said it was an honour to receive his national award, which came with a $10,000 prize, which Gore is donating to the Big Little Science Centre. He said when it comes to teaching science, the best way is to show, rather than tell, noting experiments and hands-on education works much better than memorizing notes on a board. “Just make it real, that’s all,” Gore said. “The main thing is [to] make it real. The award is one of many Gore has received during his teaching career. These include the 2005 Lifetime Achievement Award from the B.C. Association of Physics Teachers and the B.C. Science Teacher of the Year Award.

DUI leads to lawsuit costs Drunk driver and police must compensate couple RCMP SUV. She lost control of her vehicle and it crashed through the front door of a duplex at 978 Jasper Ave. William was charged with impaired driving and dangerous driving. He pleaded guilty to both counts a few months later and was fined $1,500, in addition to being handed an 18-month driving ban. The owners of the half-duplex — Ronald and Carla Sjodin — filed a lawsuit against the attorney general of Canada, the RCMP officer driving the SUV, ICBC and William. The Sjodins were looking for nearly $18,000, including more than $7,500 for hotels, more than $4,000 for food and about $4,500 for

A Kamloops man who instigated a police chase on icy roads in 2010 that led to an RCMP SUV plowing through the front door of a North Shore house is on the hook for a chunk of the homeowners’ ensuing expenses, a judge has ruled. On Dec. 7, 2010, 34-year-old Earl William was driving drunk when a Mountie attempted to pull him over on a North Kamloops road. Rather than stop, William sped away from police — despite the icy road conditions caused by freezing rain. One of the officers involved in the chase was a supervising corporal driving an

LOCAL NEWS With the provincial election one year away and polling numbers suggesting a possible major change on the way, KTW invited Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger and B.C. Conservative regional director Alan Forseth to debate the question as to why their respective parties should get the right-of-centre vote.

B.C.. has a triple-A credit rating because of this coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careful fiscal responsibility, so interest on the debt accumulated over past decades is the lowest possible. These are results that deserve votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support, yet we do know there is room for improvement. We are wide open for input and the ideas and recommendations of non-NDP voters are welcome as we build a new platform for the May 14, 2013, election. While our coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is working well, we want to do even better. It would be folly to elect the NDP by splitting the coalition and voting for separate B.C. Liberal and B.C. Conservative parties. Our coalition is willing to adopt a new name that leaves those federal words out. We can work out our differences on policy, work together and continue to build a stronger B.C. for all British Columbians. X See KRUEGER A22

HE KAMLOOPS Cenotaph stands strong on Battle Street, right behind the beautiful brick building that is Stuart Wood elementary. Forty steps northeast of the tall cenotaph sits a small pyramid-shaped cairn, made of dozens and dozens of oval-shaped rocks. The cairn is dedicated to the city’s youth who died in the First World War. “In memory of the boys of the Kamloops Public and High Schools who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-1918. They shall live for evermore,” reads the inscription. On Thursday, May 24, under a brilliant sun and accompanied by the faint echo of a class full of kids playing in the nearby schoolyard, many arrived on Battle Street to pay tribute to another Kamloops son who died while serving in another faraway war. Master Cpl. Erin Doyle was killed in Afghanistan in the summer of 2008. He was 32. The addition of his name to the cenotaph is the first since the Korean War. At 11:14 a.m., Kathy and Bob Mitchell, Erin’s mother and stepfather, walked to the base of the cenotaph and unveiled the plaque that will honour their son for all time: Afghanistan MCPL Erin M. Doyle August 11, 2008 The ceremony was sombre and respectful, quiet and reflective. Doyle accomplished much in his 32 years. He joined the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry unit in Edmonton after spending three years with the Kamloops-based Rocky

MUSINGS Mountain Rangers. Doyle was the recipient of myriad honours, including the Chief of Defence Staff Commendation, awarded after he twice saved lives following the detonations of improvised explosive devices. At the cenotaph ceremony were various dignitaries — Mayor Peter Milobar, local MLA Terry Lake, Kamloops MP Cathy McLeod — and an assortment of soldiers, active and retired. And, there were many, many children, kids in grades 3 to 7 from Stuart Wood. The ceremony continued and the sun beat down. The students were quiet. Some stared at the cenotaph. Others stared past the memorial and into the adjacent park. Some bowed their heads and read the four-page program of the dedication. Others bowed their heads and picked at blades of grass. Up front, on a table draped with soft cloth and facing the many eyes was Doyle, in full uniform and staring back from inside a framed portrait. Among the third row of students sat a child in a uniform of his time, that of the renowned soccer player, Robinho.

They all know the story of Doyle. Principal Sydney Griffith noted they did a study unit on The Life [And Death] of Erin Doyle, the remarkable Legion Magazine story written by Adam Day. So, what do they know of Doyle? “First of all, he was a badass,” says Isaac Roberge, 13. “But, even though he wasn’t actually a high-ranking officer, he was always there for his members.” “He sounds like a really good person,” says fellow 13-year-old Nathan Connors. “He helped people survive.” Twelve-year-old Quinlan Smith will soon join the cadets and wants to eventually join the Canadian Army. “You’re helping people with honour,” Quinlan replies when asked why he envisions a life in the military. “You’re not just sitting in an office writing cheques.” Isaac and Nathan are also mulling a move into cadets — though neither is sure of landing in a battle zone. “I would like to join cadets to understand it more,” Isaac says, “to get a sense of how it is.” Adds Nathan: “I want to sort of understand what people are going through in the war — but I don’t want to go in the war.” What, then, do these boys know of war? Quinlan’s great-grandfather served in the Second World War and is still alive. Does he talk about his experiences in battle? “Not really,” Quinlan replies. “It’s not a pretty thing to talk about.” editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

Coun. Nelly Dever puts the finishing touches on a “yinand-yang”-themed planter on Victoria Street. Kamloops city councillors squared off against each other on Monday, May 28, for the Communities in Bloom 2012 Business Planter Competition. Working with business owners on the north and south shores, each councillor created a unique planter. Their gardening efforts will be judged at the end of July, when the international Communities in Bloom judges are in town. You can see the planters at Spirit Square in North Kamloops and along the 100-block of Victoria Street. Dave Eagles/KTW

Re: Letter: Job creation by shopping local, not opening Ajax mine: “People seem to forget the reason businesses come to Kamloops are directly related to other big businesses in the area. “Highland Valley Copper has played a huge role in the growth and financial stability of Kamloops for 30 years. The spinoff jobs of that company alone keep hundreds, if not thousands, employed in our area. “Without this sort of big income, there would be no desire for other companies to come to our area. If mines are environmental disasters, then what are our cars, houses, radios, pots, pans, forks, TVs, etc. made of? “When fighting for a cause, be sure you’re not just another hypocrite in the lineup.” — posted by Caroline King

SURVEY RESULTS

YES 45% NO 55% 59 VOTES WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?

Ajax needs to prove to us why mine is needed Editor: As a concerned citizen observing the process surrounding the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine, I believe some simple questions remain unanswered and some fundamental assumptions have been left unchallenged. Proponents and supporters of the mine propose there is no substantial reason to not proceed with extraction of copper and gold at the proposed site. Tremendous efforts have already been invested laying the groundwork for the project and managing community concerns. Although mine proponents have repeatedly identified the economic advantages of the project, KGHM Ajax and those who support their plans have failed to show this mine is actually needed and that it is needed now. The world has not yet run out of copper and gold. There are numerous other mining projects starting throughout B.C. and these projects will certainly make use of workers who have been displaced by the reduction in forestry-based jobs. These workers will certainly contribute to the economy with their ample salaries. Considering the recent proliferation of other mining projects, the KGHM Ajax mine is simply not needed — and is especially not needed with any urgency.

The mine employees and residents of Kamloops will certainly not benefit as much as a relatively small group of stakeholders, many of whom do not (and will not) live in Kamloops. This relatively small group has successfully engaged the public in a somewhat misplaced debate about the positive and negative effects of the mine and, in so doing, has evaded answering the fundamental questions regarding “need” and “urgency”. Those who oppose the mine draw attention to the negative impact the mine could have on our city (including noise, dust, property values, weather patterns and health). The questions raised invite KGHM Ajax to respond to specific questions about the day-to-day impact of mine activity. Regardless of how adequate or inadequate the responses are, the prevailing assumption appears to be that if the community’s concerns are addressed by KGHM Ajax, there is no reason to not go ahead. In other words, the mine will go ahead unless there are some really good reasons not to. This places the burden of proof on those opposed to the mine. Does it not make more sense to have KGHM Ajax prove to the citizens of Kamloops that the mine is needed — and that it is needed now?

Is tuition too expensive for students in post-secondary schools in British Columbia?

As we work together to make the best decisions, we need to consider the bigger picture, one that includes the health and well-being of our community now and for future generations. We have an opportunity to pay attention to the priorities of children and grandchildren who will inherit the consequences of our choices. Why not treasure and preserve the resources that lie in our backyard? Do we really need to dig them up and consume them for our own short-term gain? We have an opportunity now to honour those youth who do not consider a wellpaying job at the mine to be their life’s ambition. We can choose to promote meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities that contribute to our common good, and not just to the corporate bottom line. We really do not need the KGHM Ajax mine to solve our problems or help us deal with the challenges ahead. We have an opportunity to demonstrate leadership as a community and ask KGHM Ajax to go beyond answering the specific concerns and simply explain why Kamloops needs their mine — and why it is so necessary to act now.

Mom may be forced to testify against son A woman could be arrested and held in custody to testify against her own son if she doesn’t show up for his next trial date, a judge has ruled. Rodney William Pickering, 49, showed up at Kamloops Law Courts on Friday, May 25, prepared to stand trial on one count each of uttering threats and assault. The only problem? The alleged victim — his 65-year-old mother — was nowhere to be seen. A witness warrant was issued for the woman, but a new trial date was eventually set. Pickering, who remains out of custody, will be back in court in August, once again slated to stand trial. Kamloops provincial court Judge Sheri Donegan said she hopes to see his mother in the courtroom as well — preferably not in the prisoners’ box. “But, if she has to attend court in custody, then so be it,” she said.

POLICE BEAT The assault charge dates back to last November, while the allegation of uttering threats stems from an incident in January. Pickering will return to court on Aug. 24. • A Kamloops voyeur who used a cellphone camera to peep on a woman getting dressed in a Tournament Capital Centre change room has avoided jail. But, for 34-year-old John Attrell, the next three months will be spent living under strict court-ordered conditions. Attrell pleaded guilty to the rare voyeurism charge — secretly observe or record nudity in a private place — earlier this month and last week was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest followed by nine months of probation.

The offence dates back to Feb. 28, 2011, when Attrell stuck his cellphone over the privacy divider in a family change room at the TCC to spy on a woman. Attrell was originally slated to stand trial, but entered a guilty plea on May 16 — the day his trial was supposed to get underway. In addition to the house arrest and probation, Attrell was also ordered to pay a $50 victim-fine surcharge. Voyeurism does not fall under Canada’s sex-offender legislation, so Attrell will not be required to register as a sex offender. • It’s been nearly two months since Cassandra Wilson was last seen alive and police say they’re still stumped as to what happened to the 41-year-old prostitute. “We don’t have her yet and we don’t have anything more to offer concrete-wise to the public,” Kamloops RCMP

Const. Bernie Ward said. Ward said police have been keeping an eye on Wilson’s bank account and have seen no activity. She was last seen on April 6 in downtown Kamloops. Earlier this month, Mounties revealed they believe Wilson was murdered. Those with information can call police at 250-8283000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

An empty charter bus heading to Vancouver was rear-ended by a Chevrolet Optra on Monday, May 28. Bus driver David Flintoff said he experienced some engine trouble when the bus broke down in the westbound exit of Highway 1, near the Maverick Motor Inn and Aberdeen Mall. The bus’s engine troubles created a pall of smoke that may have obscured the vision of the driver of the Optra. The female driver of the car was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for observation.

Tuition at Thompson Rivers University will rise again when classes resume for the fall semester — and that is not sitting well with the school’s students’ union. “They are addicted to tuition,” TRU Student Union (TRUSU) president Dustin McIntyre told KTW. “They balance the budget on the backs of students and, quite frankly, we’re sick of it.” Last week, TRU’s board of governors voted in a two per cent tuition hike for the 2012-2013 school year. Two per cent is the maximum

yearly increase allowed under provincial legislation. “Every year, they choose to raise tuition by two per cent,” McIntyre said. “This year was no different.” TRUSU would like to see the university lobby Victoria to increase per-student funding to the same level as B.C.’s other research universities — UBC, UVic, Simon Fraser and UNBC. McIntyre said those schools receive up to $8,000 more per student from the province than does TRU. He said the reason is TRU’s funding model, which dates back to the institution’s days as the University College of the Cariboo — when it was strictly a

teaching institution. Now, with TRU billing itself as a comprehensive university, McIntyre said, the funding model — and the money coming from Victoria — should be changed as well. According to Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vice-president of advancement, that dialogue with the provincial government is already underway. “We are in a continuous conversation with the provincial government,” he said. “They have been very responsive to our priorities in the past. “We have confidence that, given time and the proper economic environment, we’ll be able to work our way through this.”

2011 DODGE DAKOTA SXT 4X4

Higher beer prices predicted By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When B.C.’s liquordistribution system goes private, Bruce Dean predicts two clear victors: Anheuser-Busch and Molson Coors. The co-owner and president of Kamloops Brewery Ltd. told KTW he expects the shift to private distribution will lead to higher costs and lower profitability, which could crush the province’s smallest breweries. Dean said Alberta, where liquor distribution was privatized in the mid1990s, provides a good test-case for what B.C. brewers and wineries can expect at home. Under the current system, the brewery pays about $1 per case of beer for distribution. In Alberta, it’s more like $1.50 — and, given B.C.’s more challenging geography, Dean thinks a private distributor could set the price even higher. That means more expensive booze for the craft-beer buyer. “You’ve got one of two options: You either go broke or you pass

along the cost of doing business,” he said. “So, who will win out of this? The foreignowned Molson and Labatt brands will win out of this because they have their own monopoly distribution system, so this will not affect them.” Dean said the potential price increase won’t be a “death sentence” for Kamloops Brewery, which also produces the Whistler and Bowen Island brands and brews beer for Earls Restaurants. But, Dean thinks breweries across the province could be forced to lay off staff to make up costs, while small producers like the Fernie and Nelson brewing companies might not be able to make them up at all. “Imagine making beer in Nelson, then you’ve got to ship it all the way down to Vancouver, and then you’ve got to ship it all the way up to Prince George or whatever,” he said. “I think the impact on the small breweries could cause them to close down. I think it’s a pretty serious thing.”

In February, the province announced its plans to privatize the system and sell off its liquor warehouses in Burnaby and Kamloops by 2015. Early reports suggested the move could net about $700 million for the government. So far, eight companies have reportedly responded to a request for proposals that closes at the end of June. The Craft Brewers Guild of B.C. came out against the plan earlier this week and the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, which represents pubs, bars and independent liquor stores, has also condemned privatization. Like Dean, both organizations cite worries about higher prices. They are also angry the government doesn’t appear to have spoken to any small producers before planning the switch. Dean said he does see a short-term benefit for the government — cash — but thinks there negatives will outweigh the money over time. “There’s a reason they

“I would need to see much more full information on the what-ifs before I could support that.” “It really doesn’t matter what other areas do. They’re not the Tournament Capital,” Coun. Pat Wallace said. “We’ve got massive fields that people enjoy playing on.” Wallace said parks, recreation and culture director Byron McCorkell has told council pesticide alternatives don’t work well on city fields and gravelled areas. Coun. Nelly Dever also raised con-

cerns about maintaining the city’s fields, adding she feels current restrictions on pesticide use “are more than sufficient.” “I don’t see my neighbours spraying their lawns, using illegal pesticides,” she said. “I think there’s more than enough control. I don’t mind pulling out weeds in my backyard but, when it comes to our fields, no.” Dever is, however, willing to hear what other councillors have to say on the issue and expects Cavers’ motion to be amended before it comes to council for discussion and a vote on June 12.

A Gift of Selfless Love

This weekend marks the 2012 Seniors Expo, which will be held at MacArthur Island Sports and Event Centre. The two-day event runs on Friday, June 1, from noon to 6 p.m. and on Saturday, June 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. The event is being put on for the first time by B.C. Homeshows. Jim Rice, owner of B.C. Homeshows Ltd., said the expo is unlike any of the other types of trade shows because they focus more on a product or function. “This is about a demograhic,” Rice told KTW. Rice said the expo aims to educate and inform seniors on the trials and tribulations of getting older. It will provide seniors with an opportunity to take an indepth look at these issues. Rice said the need for seniors to be proactive and educate themselves on the concerns they face with old age is paramount. “This is an opportunity to be able to come out and see a lot of things under one roof,” he said. The expo will have more than 50 displays for visitors to check out, offering a variety of information on senior-specific topics and services including care facilities, medical supplies and funeral services. The expo will also help younger people helping care for elderly members of their family, Rice said. “For younger couples, younger children of parents who are seniors, it’s a good opportunity to come and educate yourself about retirement homes, assisted-living [and] government services that are available, those types of things,” said Rice. The expo had been held at Northhills Mall for the past few years, when the Centre for Seniors Information ran the event. This year, the centre’s staff asked B.C. Homeshows Ltd. to host, but the centre will stay on as a sponsor and participant.

A truly relaxing lifestyle can start with an informational visit to Berwick on the Park. Our retirement community features numerous on-site amenities, spacious suites and friendly hospitality. Do something social, choose a great book from the library or take a stroll through our beautiful gardens. At Berwick on the Park you’re in control and truly free.

Grief eventually touches each one of us By Brenda Prevost SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

OLLOWING THE OPENING OF OUR NEW ACTIVITY CENTRE IN BROCKLEHURST, THE CENTRE FOR SENIORS INFORMATION (CSI) IS PROUD TO INTRODUCE A PROGRAM THAT IS DISTINCTIVE TO OUR COMMUNITY. CSI Cares is a grief-resource program designed to respond to the wide range of life changes and circumstances that precipitate grieving. Author Doug Manning, who has written and taught about grief, once said: “Grief is the No. 1 social problem of our day.” Traditionally, we tend to classify grief as a response to death but, if we stop to examine the way we feel after a life-changing event like the downsizing of a home or business, becoming displaced, a marriage break-up, being forced to move to another city or being told about a serious, possibly life-threatening illness, we frequently do not recognize a grief process is happening. Life changes are always happening and, as a result, grief touches us all. The CSI Cares Program focuses on identifying and responding to the unique needs of each individual who comes to us for support on their grief journey. Trained professionals provide services through one-onone or family counselling and group facilitation. Clients of all ages, genders and faith groups are also invited to attend our drop- in groups, where they can share and gain valuable information, read a book or view a DVD about healthy grieving. Books and DVDs are also available for purchase

or for borrowing. For those who drop in at the CSI Activity Centre, our peer-support volunteers can offer empathetic listening over a cup of coffee or a game of cards. The development of the CSI Cares Program is a collaborative effort between the Centre for Seniors Information, Mary Widmer of C&C Resources for Life, local funeral homes and the Thompson Rivers University social-work degree program. Kamloops Funeral Home and Schoenings Funeral Services have generously supplied the funds for the resource-library materials. The Centre for Seniors Information would like to thank all those involved, as well as the many members of the Kamloops community whose generous donations helped us establish this program. We offer it as a service to our community with the hopes that together we can learn to grieve well as we discover new ways of coping with loss. Fees for professional services and support groups are arranged on a sliding scale. For more information about this and other programs that the Centre for Seniors Information offers, please call or visit one of our easily accessible locations: •CSI Information & Referral Centre 25-700 Tranquille Rd.

They are also structured to maximize profits that can be returned to a concentrated ownership. One professional marketing technique is to out-compete the local merchants by offering exceptional bargains on the 100 items you must consume on a regular basis. Things like dish soap, bathroom tissue, hygiene products and light bulbs can be managed as loss leaders to attract you, the consumer, while more-regular items are marked at regular prices. This is a tried-and-true business model — and it all makes sense for bargain hunters provided you are OK to drive to an impersonal shopping environment with self-serve checkouts and minimum-wage staff. What might not make sense is lack of support for local merchants who re-circulate their profits back into the community with local purchases of their own. The idea of shopping at home and supporting local stores enhances the business case for everyone in the community. While it is true some prices may be higher — given the differential in purchasing power and loss-leader marketing — the savings in time and gas may offset the higher costs , This is where it loops back to personal choices, influence over outcomes and the

Choices have inﬂuence idea of consumer power. Again, back to the only real control you have — the control of your choices. At some point, your consumer choices and dollars are managed for and concentrated into a large and efficient business model. However, your consumer choices can also influence investment decisions for retail providers planning their next openings. Consider the professional analysis of spending patterns. Should the analysis show a significant amount of spending power staying

on the North Shore, then retail managers will begin locating there in order to get upstream of their competitors. If you, as a North Shore consumer, want more shopping options in the area, then exercise your control by consciously spending in the area and thereby attracting the attention of decision-makers. The competitors will come to where the action is — and your choices have a bearing on how they see it. Peter Mutrie is general manager of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While critics panned the first 3D video of the Ajax mine, its planned sequel is getting a warmer reception from Kamloops city council. Norman Thompson, community relations manager for the proposed copper and gold mine, said two new models are in the works. One will be a physical model, the other a computerized, interactive-type program that will allow people to

Duo faces arson charges Two men will likely face arson charges after being caught next to a burning dumpster late on Wednesday, May 23. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said an officer was making patrols in the 400-block of Victoria Street at about 11:30 p.m. when he happened across two men standing in an alley. The Mountie began talking to the men and then noticed smoke coming from a nearby dumpster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It erupted into flames and the two males were caught redhanded,â&#x20AC;? Ward said. Both men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one 18, the other 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were arrested on suspicion of arson. The dumpster fire is the latest in a string of more than 50 suspicious blazes in Kamloops over the last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kamloops RCMP have made a concerted effort to charge the persons responsible for the rash of set fires,â&#x20AC;? Ward said, urging people to call police if they see any suspicious activity in or around their neighbourhoods.

navigate a digital version of the proposed mine site south of Aberdeen. Mayor Peter Milobar, who said Ajaxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last effort was well-produced but light on information, said he thinks the new computer model will be the most helpful of the two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear about the north waste-rock pile but, when you look at the map, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of behind where the tank farm is right now and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a lot of people think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right behind Pacific Way elementary,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will just give people a better sense of the layout, of where everything is.â&#x20AC;? Council has sent several requests to the mine proponents asking for better modelling of the site and Milobar has sent letters on his own, as well. The Kamloops Area Preservation

Association, which opposes the mine, has also called for a physical scale model of the site. Thompson said public requests did factor into the decision to produce the two displays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We listen to what the people are saying out there, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been our intention to do something, so nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at getting a couple of people to design them and build them for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. While the exact look of the models is still being planned, Thompson said he hopes the computer version will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;something people can play with with their mouseâ&#x20AC;? in the style of Google Earth. Coun. Arjun Singh, who pushed for council to make another model request earlier this month, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad to see the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns were taken into account

and that the proponent is creating multiple displays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My whole mantra with this thing is letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make it a process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really strong,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost overdo things and make sure people have really strong information and the ability to make up their minds in the best way.â&#x20AC;? Singh said he thinks the model will make it easier for people with different learning styles to get involved in the Ajax debate. He said he hopes to see more ways of presenting mine data rolled out, especially once Ajax starts presenting answers to public questions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear when the models will go on display, or where, but Thompson said creating them should happen over the next several months.

Pub buys Pump By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Westsyde Pump neighbourhood pub is no more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the news is not all bad. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to the new owner, Duane Henning, who also owns the competing Westsyder Pub and picked up the Pump a few weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary, until we find out what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To run it as a pub is not feasible, but I think Westsyde is ready for a family restaurant.â&#x20AC;? Henning said pub business is down across B.C. due to a number of fac-

tors, including the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently re-instated new impaired driving legislation, taxes and the overall economic climate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the economic times,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They [the Pumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous owners] wanted out for a reason.â&#x20AC;? Henning said the Pumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold beer and wine store will continue to run as is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The store is in good shape,â&#x20AC;? Henning said, adding the pub building, which is older, will undergo a facelift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs a big reno in there.â&#x20AC;? According to Henning, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no timeline on when the business might re-emerge.

severance money from taxpayers. During that time, 50,000 British Columbians left the province to find opportunities elsewhere. B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins, a retired federal politician on a big pension, has said publicly he voted NDP in the last provincial election. He has also said his goal is to destroy the B.C. Liberal Party. Cummins proved in the April byelections that he cannot deliver as many votes as the existing coalition, but he can take enough away to allow the NDP to win — and he says that is fine with him. If he does that in 2013, we have to expect 10 lost years for British Columbians as that is what happened in 1991. Our coalition, by contrast, has an energetic, articulate, bright young premier, Christy Clark,

Our coalition has been very good for the people of the Thompson Valley. We created TRU, where the NDP had declined to make the University College of the Cariboo a university. We built the Interior Psychiatric Centre, where the NDP broke its promise to build the Interior Cancer Clinic here and built it in Kelowna. Our fiscal responsibility has helped build a robust, diversified economy here. Stats Canada says Kamloops has created 4,200 jobs since April 2011, for a new total of 53,900. If the NDP wins on a vote-split, job creators will leave, our region will lose jobs and we must expect the same terrible results as last time the NDP/Adrian Dix team was in power. He resigned in disgrace then, but took

well-regarded by and working hard with her colleague premiers, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, Chuck Strahl, their federal colleaguesand federal Liberals as well. We have a plan that is working very well, but we are enthusiastically accepting input for improvements. We have a strong track record and we have proven four times we can deliver more votes than the NDP. The first time, in 1996, the NDP remained in power because, although we received more votes, the coalition split in some key ridings and the NDP elected more MLAs. It was a disaster for British Columbians young and old. Please — let’s not do that again!

Fingers crossed for Pan Am bid committee The suspense will end today (May 29) for the Kamloops bid committee that applied to host the 2015 Pan American junior track and field championships. “The winning bid to host the 2015 Pan American Junior Championships will be announced on Tuesday,” an Athletics Canada tweet said last week. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for the latest. Edmonton and Kamloops are on the short list to host the event. Kamloops Track and Field club president Judy Armstrong led the River City’s bid committee. “We really felt long ago that, after the [World Masters Indoor Athletic Championships in 2010], this would be a great fit for our city,” Armstrong said of the Pan Am junior meet. “Kamloops has 50 or 60 athletics officials. We have the most in the province. “We have everything that we need to run the meet.” The Pan Am junior track and field championships feature about 1,000 under-20-year-old athletes and are held every two years. “We welcome the national body to Kamloops to see what we have here,” Armstrong said.

Ugly diving plaguing Beautiful Game

Kamloops Youth Soccer Association technical director Tom McManus speaks out on flopping and flailing Dave Eagles/KTW

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

UN MARQUES Davidson of Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps went down like he had been shot. The midfielder was tapped in the face by Julian de Guzman of Toronto FC in a Canadian club championship match on Wednesday, May 23. Davidson fell to the ground, writhing in apparent pain, and stayed down until a Whitecaps trainer came to his aid.

It was a dive — and it was embarrassing, said Tom McManus, Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s (KYSA) technical director. “I thought [the] incident was just such a joke,” he said. “A little tap in the face and there’s a big dive. If a pro has to do something like that, to me you’re not a pro.” It can be argued the red card Guzman received was warranted, considering raising a hand to an opposing player’s face is not tolerated in the Beautiful Game. It was Davidson’s

reaction — and the impression it might have left with on-thefence soccer fans and young Canadian players — that angered McManus. “We’ve been trying to promote the game here, yet people will see this and say, ‘That was ridiculous,’” McManus said. “They say it’s embarrassing watching that. And it is. The kids will see it on TV, too.” McManus, a professional player in his younger days, has been anti-diving since becoming a coach in the early 1980s. “A few years ago,

I was coaching an under-18 team and this guy kept diving,” said McManus, whose coaching resumé includes stops with the national women’s team, the McMaster Marauders and the TRU WolfPack. “I said, ‘Get off the park,’ and told the ref I was pulling him.” Diving in professional soccer is likely here to stay. McManus said it would be nice if governing bodies, coaches and referees took a hard-line stance on the problem, if only to reduce the amount of flailing in the game.

“You watch the World Cup and the diving and rolling around for half an hour,” he said. “I hate it.” Fortunately, said McManus, flopping is a relatively rare occurrence in the Canadian minor and amateur soccer ranks — and he will do his part to keep it that way. “We’re pretty heavy on explaining to kids we don’t want to see that garbage going on,” McManus said. “If you want to dive, you’re not on my team. I don’t need you around.”

Dylan Armstrong is looking great ahead of the London Olympics. The Kamloops shot putter won three gold medals in a five-day span last week. He threw a seasonbest 21.44 metres to win the Hengelo Fanny Blankers-Koen track and field meet on Saturday, May 26, in the Netherlands. Armstrong was twice-golden in the Czech Republic last week, winning the Turnov Ludvik Danek meet with a throw

of 20.93 metres on Tuesday, May 22, and the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava with a 21.29metre toss on Friday, May 25. The 31-year-old will next be in action at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday, June 2. Hammer thrower Sultana Frizell, 27, of the National Throws Centre in Kamloops needs to reach the B standard of 69 metres one more time in order to qualify for the Canadian Olympic team.

Back from nationals A pair of Kamloops Gymnastics Trampoline Centre gymnasts can hold their heads high after competing at the Canadian gymnastics championships, which wrapped up in Regina on Saturday, May 26. Scott Nabata, 16, placed fifth all-around in the junior high performance men’s division. He placed second in the nation on the floor, but was unable to compete in the rings and high-bar event finals after injuring his hand. Emily Schultz, 23, placed 31st overall in the national open women’s division. The competition was likely the last of Schultz’s career.

Nature’s Fare Presents

Trzonkowski happy to shed the mits By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rob Trzonkowski was heading out the door to yoga class when KTW caught up with him. However, there won’t be too much Zen happening when the 18-year-old forward from Calgary arrives in Kamloops. “I wouldn’t say I have a temper at all, but I don’t like getting pushed around and I kind of enjoy getting in scraps,” Trzonkowski said. The Kamloops Blazers traded a fourthround pick in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft to the Calgary Hitmen in exchange for Trzonkowski. The 6-foot-1, 195pound forward racked up 114 times more penalty minutes than goals with

Interior

the Hitmen last season, finishing the campaign with one goal, nine points and 114 sin-bin minutes. Trzonkowski dropped his gloves 14 times last season, according to hockeyfights.com. His record, according to dropyourgloves.com, was 1-4-6, with three fights yet to be judged. He did not disagree with the website’s assessment of his pugilistic prowess. “I don’t think I win many,” he said, laughing. “There’s no defence. I just throw a couple and take a couple.” The Blazers’ most recent acquisition said he doesn’t drop the gloves to prove he is tough, so the wins and losses don’t matter too much. “I don’t like when our team gets pushed around,” he said.

Bill Bilton’s

Faults & Fixes Welcome to the Bill Bilton Jr. Golf Academy Faults and Fixes Series. In this series of weekly columns in KTW, Bilton will cover 10 of the more common faults golfers face and tell you how to fix them. Readers will also have an opportunity to win two rounds of golf at The Dunes each week by submitting an answer to the skill-testing question asked each week. The Bill Bilton Jr. Golf Academy, Kamloops’ first fullservice golf academy, is located at the The Dunes Golf Club in Westsyde. The philosophy of the academy is that it does not teach a strict method; however, the academy does have a system and strict method of how it teaches.

Bilton’s system is unique in that he has a lot of room for individual differences that allows his instructors to use their own creativity. There are many ways to achieve a good golf swing and play golf well, but history has show all good players share the same core fundamentals.

LESSON #3 Fault: Tension at address Have you ever suffered from “Paralysis by Analysis,” where you stand over the ball and you have 16 swing thoughts racing through your mind? Suddenly, your muscles are so tight that it is impossible to get the club moving away from the ball. Then, out of the blue, you jerk the club away only to produce a wild and crazy swing with devastating results. Very frustrating indeed. Fix — Training yourself not to think too much over the ball starts with disciplined practise. Next time you are on

the range, you should be taking half or threequarter swings and only concentrating on one aspect of the swing at a time. After multiple repetitions, you can then step away, clear your mind and pick another swing key or drill to work on. If you want to change your swing key, step away again. Do not pick your swing keys when addressing the ball. If you do, you are training yourself to think too much. Most golfers will practise taking full swings each and every time, therefore increasing the chance to make

an error. Practising with shorter, slower swings will accelerate your learning curve. When on the course you will now be able to have your focus before your move into your ball to hit it, thus keeping your body and arms tension free. The more relaxed your body is, the more rhythmic your swing will be.

Its collectively created debut album was released in the fall of 2011 and features the trio’s interpretive blend of its influences. “We were transported to another time and place — from the shores of Ireland, through England to the south to Spain and east to India,” wrote reviewer Nicole Lalonde of the Goldstream News after a recent Three Worlds concert. “It was a two-hour musical journey steeped in tradition and rich in discoveries.” Collectively, the members of Three

Worlds have more than 100 years of performing experience, have produced more than 25 albums with one-million copies sold worldwide and have earned a number of Juno and Western Canadian Music award nominations. Percussionist Golden specializes on the tabla (Indian hand drums) and is known for his masterful interpretation of Indian classical music, blues and other world music styles. Golden also performs and composes on the new and elusive hang (pronounced “hung”), a flying sauceresque instrument from Switzerland

invented in the year 2000. Joy brings a fusion of Celtic, baroque and folk-rock to the mix through his mastery of the hammered dulcimer, flute and guitar. Guitarist Prevedoros, renowned for his instrumental virtuosity and exuberant live performances, brings the Latin, jazz and flamenco element to this shared musical adventure that is grounded in many traditions and yet, brand new.

Myriad inﬂuences By Andrea Klassen

Dear interested public,

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If it weren’t for last-minute lineup changes, the Myriad Trio might never have formed. Drummer Ernesto Cervini, pianist Chris Donnelly and bassist Dan Fortin were all aware of each other in the Toronto jazz scene but, until a couple of years ago, they had never played as a unit. “I had a gig I was playing with the piano player and a different bass player and then the bass player got injured,” Cervini explained. “Dan subbed in and it was really fun.” When a pianist bailed on Fortin and Cervini for another show, it was Donnelly who was called in to fill the gap — and the trio realized it should start playing together on purpose. “Everyone really listens a lot,” Cervini said, explaining the combo’s appeal. “Because we’re so confident in ourselves and each other’s playing, we can just sit down and relax and react and have fun.” A diverse musical background — Fortin and Cervini both play for a handful of indie rock bands, while Donnelly is one half of a classical duo — also helped take the group’s sound beyond the traditional jazz trio. While rooted in jazz, Myriad’s members also mix in pop and classical influences. “We’re just taking that concept and doing some more unique things with it,” Cervini said. The Western Canada tour, which hits Kamloops on Friday, June 1, is the first to take the trio out of Toronto as a unit, and a chance to workshop the tunes the group plans to record later this summer for its debut album. “It’s really exciting to play a series of gigs in a row because you can’t in one city. You can’t really play eight times in 10 days,” Cervini said. “The music always grows just infinitely when you have an opportunity like that, to perform over and over and over again.” The Myriad Trio plays at Caffe Motivo, at 229 Victoria St., on Friday, June 1, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available online at kamloopslive.com, by phone at 250-374-5483 or at the door.

Funding ﬁnds its way all around Kamloops The federal government has given the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding $454, 087 in Canada Summer Jobs funding to hire students. The funding is designed to give students the opportunity to gain skills and experience. “Through Canada Summer Jobs, we are helping employers in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo create 102 summer job opportunities for students, while strengthening our community’s economy,” said riding Conservative MP Cathy McLeod. Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to notfor-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create summer job opportunities for those between the ages of 15 and 30 who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. • LTD Consulting in Kamloops is receiving $297,000 from the Skills Link program to help youth overcome barriers to employment. Skills Link is part of the federal government’s Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy (YES).

• Two local organizations will receive funding from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to help regional districts and local organizations combat invasive plants. The Southern Interior Weed Management Committee will receive $114,800, while the Thompson-Nicola Regional District will receive $24,000. Invasive plants are not native to a particular ecosystem and have the potential to displace longestablished species and cause considerable economic or environmental damage. They may disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops. Across British Columbia, 28 recipients will share $1,7 million in funding to support the objectives of the provincial invasive plant program, which identifies the locations of invasive plant species and responds to contain and eradicate before they spread.

Equinox marks a season of excellence

OOK UP THE WORD “EQUINOX” AND YOU’LL SEE IT SIGNALS THE SHIFTING OF SEASONS. Which is why it seems particularly suitable when you consider how Chevrolet’s compact crossover by the same name has become a benchmark of change within GM’s SUV lineup. This was reinforced when an improved second-generation 2010 Equinox debuted at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and went on sale later the same year as a 2010 model. The latest-generation Chevrolet Equinox (along with its GMC Terrain sib-

ROB BEINTEMA First DRIVE ling) is built on a stiffer version of the Theta platform, harnesses a pair of fuel-efficient gasoline direct-injection engines and combines all the crossover traits of sedanlike ride and maneuverability, along with SUVstyle utility, putting those qualities together with fit and finish unexpected in this kind of entry-level

Chevrolet Dquinox LTZ AWD 2012 at a glance Body style: Four-door, five-passenger compact crossover SUV. Drive method: Front-engine, front- or allwheel drive. EngineE: 2.4-litre direct injection inline fourcylinder engine (182 hp, 172 lb/ft); 3.0-litre direct injection V6 engine (264 hp, 222 lb/ft). Fuel economy: 2.4-litre inline, four-cylinder FWD 9.2/6.1L/100km (city/hwy); 2.4-litre inline, four-cylinder AWD 10.1/6.9L/100km (city/hwy); 3.0-litre V6 FWD 12.4/8.1L/100km (city/hwy); 3.0-litre V6 AWD 12.9/8.6L/100km (city/hwy). Cargo: 872 litres (30.8 cu ft); 1803 litres (63.7 cu ft) with second row folded. Tow rating: 2.4-litre I-4 680 kg (1,500 lb); 3.0litre V6 1,588 kg (3,500 lb.). Price: Equinox 2.4-litre FWD LS $26,445; 1LT $29,225; 2LT $31,025; LTZ $34,160; (AWD $1,650) (3.0-litre V6 $1,725). Website: gm.ca.

lineup. The Equinox lineup offers two engine choices — a standard 2.4-litre four-cylinder or optional 3.0-litre V6. Both are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions and both can be hooked to either a standard front-wheel drive (FWD) system, or all-wheel drive (AWD) configuration, a $1,650 option. The 2.4-litre Ecotec direct-injected I-4 engine delivers 182 horsepower at 6,700 r.p.m. and 172 pound-feet of torque at 4,900 r.p.m. Fuel efficiency is rated at 9.2/6.1L/100km (city/ hwy) (FWD). Equinox AWD models will consume about an extra litre per 100 kilometres (official ratings below). This engine was adapted for 2012 for E85 FlexFuel capability. An “Eco” mode setting on 2.4-litre-equipped models also alters shift points to improve fuel efficiency. GM has been boasting up to 1,100 kilometres of highway-only cruising range per tank and segment-best highway fuel efficiency with this particular engine and model configuration, although that might recently have been surpassed by the new 2013 Ford Escape. The four-banger, as tested here, does a decent job in both power and economical considerations over almost all applications, although it will occasionally hunt for a lower gear on a hill climb. For those looking for a little more passing power or trailer towing potential, an optional 3.0-litre direct-injected V6 engine is rated at 264 horsepower at 6,950 r.p.m. and 222 pound-feet

at 5,100 r.p.m. Fuel economy works out to 12.4/8.1L/100km (city/hwy) (FWD). An AWD V6 model will use about a half a litre more than the FWD version per 100 kilometres. This engine was also made E85-ethanol capable in the previous year, although all this E85 stuff seems pretty well a moot point in most Canadian jurisdictions. The V6 engine is a $1,725 option (actually more like $2,160 once you figure in the complementary add-ons) that, along with the pump premium, requires a little thought before a purchase decision. The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox comes in four trim levels — LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ. The LS is a base vehicle, restricted to the 2.4litre engine exclusively. But, that doesn’t necessarily make it a bare bones entry. The LS come nicely equipped with standards that include 17-inch

painted aluminum wheels, four-wheel ABS disk brakes with hill assist, traction control and StabiliTrak electronic stability control, a rear spoiler, rear washer/ wiper, variable intermittent wipers, air conditioning, tilt and telescopic steering, cruise control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, OnStar, power driver’s seat with height and lumbar adjustment, a Multi-Flex sliding rear seat, automatic headlamps, Bluetooth con-

nectivity and an 80-watt six-speaker AM/FM/CD/ MP3 audio system. Each trim level ups the ante with more standard features and available options, the particulars of which are

best checked out online, culminating in the full blown, top-of-the-line LTZ trim level, as tested here, that adds, many thing. X See EXTRAS B8

Among them: Accents, heated perforated-leather seats, halogen projector headlamps, driver’s memory settings, power liftgate, rear park assist, ambient lighting and rear cargo cover and net. It’s a pretty luxurious package for a compact crossover but, regardless of trim level, the 2012 Chev Equinox offers a competent and contemporary take on the modern SUV, comfortable enough for five with cargo space rated at 872 litres expanding to 1,803 litres with the second row folded flat. Those yearly equipment updates help keep the Equinox current in a very competitive field that includes the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V and the new 2013 Ford Escape, among others.

But, with evolving equipment levels and a revised design that is only two years old, the Equinox is holding it own in this not-so-compact crossover segment. The Equinox has been a home run hit for Chevrolet and GM. The CAMI plant is Ingersoll, Ont., has been running three shifts and overtime to keep up supply, as well as outsourcing some finishing work to the Oshawa plants. We can consider a long list of ingredients that have contributed to the Equinox’s best-selling popularity. But, that made-inCanada tag on the doorplate is not only another good reason to consider a purchase. It’s an important part of the recipe that has made the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox a success.

The standard engine is a 2.4-litre direct injection four-cylinder making 182 hp and 172 lb/ft of torque with a fuel economy rating of 9.2/6.1L/100km (city/hwy)(FWD).

HELEN EVA CROMARTY It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mother Helen Eva Cromarty on Friday May 11 2012. Helen is survived by Vic, her husband of 54 years; sons Colin of Prince Albert Saskatchewan; Victor of Victoria B.C. and her younger brother Jim Laird of Edmonton Alberta. Helen is predeceased by her father and mother Jim and Annie Laird of Fruitvale B.C. Helen was born in St. Vital Manitoba on January 14 1937. Her family moved to Fruitvale B.C. in the mid-1950s. Helen later attended high school in Trail and went on to graduate from the Trail Business College. She worked for several years at the Trail Colour Centre and other locations in the Trail area. On March 10th 1958 she married Victor Leroy Cromarty of Fruitvale B.C. After their wedding they moved to Barrie Ontario where Vic was stationed with the Canadian Forces’ Provost Corps. Over the next 27 years Helen endured many moves as a military wife to CFB Borden, CFB Ottawa, Carleton Place, CFB Edmonton, SHAPE Belgium, CFB Ottawa again and ﬁnally CFB Calgary. During these times she she was often the lone parent, raising her two sons by herself while her husband was away with the Canadian Forces, the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces or other assignments. Helen was a very special person and held her family together under some very trying circumstances. Upon Vic’s retirement in 1978 Helen and family moved to Maple Ridge B.C., eventually settling in Kamloops B.C. in 1988. At Helen’s request there will not be a formal service. The burial of her ashes will take place in Fruitvale at a later date. We wish to thank the wonderful people who cared for her at the Royal Inland Hospital ICU in Kamloops. In lieu of ﬂowers donations may be made in Helen’s name to the Arthritis Society of Canada.

One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. Author Unknown
