Faulty smart meter was . . . faulty By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson school district transports 4,000 students about 9,000 kilometres each day — journeys that add up to an annual transportation deficit of up to $500,000. Dave Eagles/KTW

School district wants to cut shortfall Busing students around an area the size of Belgium an expensive endeavour “It’s not mandatory for districts to do that.” He also mentioned the possibility of charging students to ride the school bus, a move that could generate up to $300,000 annually. De Bruijn said the fact per-student funding has risen in recent years is not enough to offset the increased costs of moving them all around. “The funding has gone up, but the per-student cost has gone up as well,” he said. “If the price of diesel goes up by 20 cents per litre, that has a huge impact on our budget. “What we end up doing is just taking money from some other part of the budget to cover the transportation costs.” Whatever happens, de Bruijn said, it won’t be for some time. The matter isn’t slated to come up in board meetings until at least the fall, he said, with any potential changes not taking effect until 2013 at the earliest.

STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s not cheap to bus thousands of students around a geographical area the size of Belgium each day — so the Kamloops-Thompson school district is looking to make changes. “We travel about 9,000 kilometres a day and we have about 4,000 kids riding the bus each day,” said assistant superintendent Karl de Bruijn. “Compare that to a school district like Burnaby, where you’re sandwiched between Boundary Road and New Westminster.” School District No. 73 has been operating its transportation division at a loss for years, de Bruijn said, and officials are trying to change that. “We’re underfunded for what the transporta-

tion costs us here,” he said. The district already tried asking Victoria to review its transportation funding. “They actually came back with less money,” he said, explaining the review was based on postal codes — which vary greatly in size depending on population. The district is looking at ways to reduce the annual shortfall, which has been as high as $500,000 in recent years. “Some districts provide no busing at all,” de Bruijn said.

A faulty part has been identified as the reason a Kamloops man’s BC Hydro meter was removed and replaced. Greg Alexis of B.C. Hydro told KTW in an email that the meter “had a component that was malfunctioning and Itron [the manufacturer, which tested the defective device] has confirmed this is a rare and isolated occurrence.” The smart meter, located on Trapper Cameron’s Valleyview home, was removed in early March after it was determined it was registering up to six times the amount of electricity actually being used. At the time, BC Hydro said it was the first instance of a new smart meter overcharging a customer for electricity. Alexis said defective parts could be found “from time to time to time with the old meters, too, where a small number of them had components that stopped working after they were installed.” He said BC Hydro tries to quickly identify malfunctioning equipment, “fix it and rectify the situation with the customer.”

Police probe random knife attack

SCRAPPING AGAINST POVERTY DON’T SCRAP IT, DONATE IT!

Incident occurred on June 3 at 11 p.m. in Riverside Park By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police are warning users of a downtown Kamloops park to take extra precautions after a brazen attack by a knifewielding man on the weekend. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said a 28-year-old man was walking through Riverside Park at about 11 p.m. on Sunday, June

3, when he was attacked by an armed man. The victim was walking on the footpath leading to Overlanders Bridge. “The suspect was said to have emerged from a darkened area next to the path, pulled out the knife and, without saying anything, began to slash at the pedestrian,” Ward said. “During the fracas, the victim punched out

and struck the suspect twice.” Ward said the suspect ran away and was last seen headed toward the waterpark area of Riverside Park. The victim told police his clothing was slashed, but he was otherwise uninjured. Ward said the incident appears to have been random. “He [the victim] had no idea who this per-

son was and he had no reason for this attack to take place,” Ward said, encouraging park visitors to be careful. “For the next little while, until we get this sorted out, we want people to be vigilant.” Ward said a man armed with a longbladed fisherman’s knife was arrested following the incident, but he was ruled out as a suspect and released without

charge. The suspect is described as a fivefoot-10 native man with a moustache and short, spiky hair, possibly worn in a mohawk. He was wearing dark clothing. Anyone with information can call Kamloops Mounties at 250-8283000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Fine for poisoning that killed neighbourhood dog By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An 81-year-old Kamloops man who killed a neighbour’s dog by leaving a bowl of antifreezesoaked bread on the edge of his property has been handed a hefty fine. Attilio Sirianni pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court on Monday, June 4, to one count of leaving poison for animals. In November 2010, a woman living on the property bordering Sirianni’s Westsyde hobby farm took her dog to the vet after it began vomiting profusely, court heard. “Several tests were conducted that revealed the dog’s kidneys were shutting down due to the ingestion of antifreeze,” said Crown prosecutor Chris Balison. The dog, a five-yearold Labrador cross named Mia, died five days after the poisoning.

An investigation by BCSPCA constables uncovered a bowl of antifreeze-soaked bread on Sirianni’s property. He admitted to leaving the poisoned bread out, but told investigators he didn’t think a neighbouring pet would be harmed. In court, defence lawyer Graham Kay said Sirianni was trying to protect his cattle and chickens from coyotes. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleavely fined Sirianni $2,000 and placed him on probation for one year, with conditions he stay away from his neighbour and not own or reside with any dogs. He’s also banned from possessing antifreeze outside of regular vehicle use. In addition, Sirianni will pay $886.12 in restitution to the dog owner to cover vet costs and another $173.63 to the SPCA for its costs.

A black bear, like the bruin pictured, came across the lifeless body of 53-year-old Rory Wagner off Long Lake Road.

Clean Air Day - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Come on down to this exciting event to learn and raise awareness about clean air initiatives in Kamloops!

On Oct. 21, 1993, Rory Wagner and two accomplices kidnapped Andy Kohlman and took him to a remote wooded area somewhere in the Fraser Valley. They beat him to death and left the body. It was never found. On Wednesday, May 30, Kamloops Rural RCMP and the B.C. Coroners Service launched an investigation after Wagnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismembered and partially eaten corpse was located by hunters near Knutsford. Now 53, Wagner had apparently committed suicide days earlier. A black bear happened upon his lifeless body, which was sitting in the driver seat of a 1986 Volkswagen Jetta in a remote wooded area off Long Lake Road.

The bruin pulled Wagner from the vehicle through an open window and buried him under a pile of dirt and vegetation. When the hunters made the grisly find, the bear was still in the area, protecting the food stash. Wagner had a criminal history dating back to 1977, including more than 10 convictions. Many were related to alcohol. In 1996, Wagner was charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping at the conclusion of an RCMP Mr. Big sting operation into Kohlmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder. Shortly before Kohlman disappeared, he was acquitted on sexual assault charges involving two of Wagnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nieces. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed to have been the motive for the murder. During the Mr. Big sting,

Wagner told undercover cops posing as gangsters heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be more than happy to move drugs, collect debts and, if necessary, kill on behalf of the fictitious criminal organization. He also admitted to taking Kohlmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. On the first day of his firstdegree murder trial, in April of 1996, Wagner and his coaccused pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Wagner was first released on parole in 2002, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long. He fell back into a life of substance abuse and briefly went on the run from authorities until his parole was revoked in 2006. After another five years in jail, Wagner was granted day parole last September. He was released on a number of strict conditions, including orders he abstain from any intoxicants, stay away from criminals and drug

users, attend counselling and not have any contact with Kohlmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed he moved directly to a Kamloops halfway house and obtained fulltime employment. In February, Wagnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parole was reviewed and extended to last another six months. He was still under the same conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including no drugs or alcohol. Wagner was last seen alive on May 23. Investigators believe he was dead for a period of days before the hunters happened across his remains. When Mounties seized his Volkswagen following the find, they said they located drugs and drug paraphernalia, in addition to liquor, inside the vehicle. Regional coroner Mark Coleman said results from toxicology tests likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known for weeks.

Bepple will try again to be on FCM board By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

She won’t be among the five B.C. representatives sitting at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) board table, but Kamloops Coun. Nancy Bepple is still hoping to be part of the conversation. Bepple lost a bid to become a member of the organization’s board of directors at the FCM’s annual conference, held this past weekend in Saskatoon. The Kamloops councillor was one of eight B.C. politicians in the running for five seats, all of which went to incumbent directors. Bepple said she was hoping to become a voice for the Southern Interior, which isn’t represented on the current board. “But, I am going to put my

name forward to sit on committees again,” she said. “I’ll still hopefully be at the table.” This year’s conference saw many of Canada’s big-city mayors band together to urge the federal government to put up more funds for road repairs, public transit and other infrastructure projects. The current funding system, the $1.9-billion Building Canada Fund, is set to wind down in 2014. During the conference, federal Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel pledged funding would continue following that date, with no gaps that might cause communities to lose a construction season. But, what the new funding agreement will look like still has to be worked out, Bepple said.

“Between now and 2014, the framework of that plan needs to be put in place — what qualifies, what type of infrastructure is going to be targeted, what are the measurables, who can apply, how much money is going to be allocated?” She and councillors Tina Lange, Arjun Singh and Marg Spina, who also attended the conference, will be talking to the rest of council about what it wants to see from the next funding plan. Bepple said council will also be lobbying KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, to ensure she is aware of what the city is looking for from Ottawa. For her part, Bepple thinks “roads, pipes, pumps” and public transit should top the city’s list of infrastructure priorities.

A karmic full-circle journey goes worldwide in the press N THE END, NO, PETER MILOBAR DID NOT EAT A MAN NEAR KNUTSFORD. But, wouldn’t that make quite the story? The real tale is just as fascinating and ironic, but how the mayor got involved in the now-famous story of the black bear pulling a dead man from a car and burying him involves a conversation among two adults and a lot of noise to hijack words spilling from those mouths, changing their sounds and delivering them to curious, tender ears. By now, the story of the death of 53-year-old Rory Wagner and his body’s subsequent encounter with a black bear passing by in Knutsford has been reported worldwide. The first person to break the story was Kamloops This Week’s very own Tim Petruk. I knew from the moment I posted the story on Thursday morning of last week that this tale would go global due to its strangeness. Bear maulings are news, but they happen often enough to hardly raise eyebrows outside of the community in which the mauling took place. Just this past weekend, conservation officers in Whistler killed a bear that had cuffed a man in the back of the head while the man was soaking in a hot tub. While a bit different from the average bear encounter, the jacuzzi-bruin encounter remains fairly straightforward. However, to have a man apparently commit suicide, then have a bear take that body taken from a car, bury it and

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS partially eat it? Well, now you know why the story continues to be reported worldwide. Sitting in the passenger seat of a car as we drove home from playing tennis, I was telling the driver the tale of the bear and the man and the very ironic background to the story. As I mentioned a bear had wandered by the car and extracted the man and, possibly, feasted on the body before burying it, my son exclaimed from the back seat: “Peter Milobar ate a man?!?” Of course, this elicited the requisite “WHAT?” from me until I realized my words, “Then the bear grabbed the man and may have eaten some of him . . . “ turned into “Then the mayor grabbed the man and may have eaten some of him . . . “ That’s what happens when words compete with radio music, front-seat conversation and the noise of wind slipping through partially open windows of a small car not known for its sound-proofing. Perhaps my boy figures the position of mayor is omnipotent, but I did

manage to convince him that the man leading Kamloops certainly did not eat a man in Knutsford. City hall is quite voracious in its appetite for eating all that resides in our wallets, of course, but, as I told my son, I don’t believe that taste extends to Soylent Green. As for this intriguing story, the background only makes it all the more head-shakingly fascinating. As reported online at kamloopsthisweek.com the day after the incident, and in today’s paper, the death of Wagner and the resulting experience with his body represents what some might call a karmic full-circle journey. Wagner, his brother and a third man were convicted in the mid-1990s of second-degree murder for beating to death another man. That man was charged, but acquitted of, sexually abusing two nieces of Wagner’s. The trio decided that vigilante justice was warranted and proceeded to convict the man in their own way — by killing him and dumping his body in some Fraser Valley woods. As the parole records of Wagner state, that man’s body was never found. One can assume the victim back in 1993 became a food source for wildlife in the Fraser Valley. Could Rory Wagner imagine in his wildest dreams that, 19 years later, his very own body would become a food source for wildlife outside of Kamloops? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

There has been much outrage about the RCMP decision to ship a Mountie who abused his position as head of a polygraph unit in Edmonton to B.C. Don Ray exposed himself, had sex with subordinates and kept a well-stocked liquor cabinet in his crime lab. His punishment for all of this was to be demoted to sergeant from staff-sergeant, lose 10 days pay and come to B.C. From a public-relations perspective, it was like spraying a wasp nest with insect repellent — in the middle of the day. The B.C. public is extremely cynical about the RCMP (as an organization) right now. This is the result of a number of incidents. The most notable ones are the widespread perception that some men within the RCMP systematically harass female members and civilian workers; the Tasering death of a confused Polish man at the Vancouver Airport; the Mountie who left the scene of a fatal accident and fortified himself with vodka; and the shooting death of an unarmed prisoner at the Houston police detachment. Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, who has taken over as the top Mountie in B.C., said things will change — but this transfer tells people things aren’t changing. Coming on the heels of renewal of the RCMP contract in B.C. for a 20-year period, it’s too much for many. The vast majority of Mounties are upright, honest people whose devotion to the force’s goal “to serve and protect” is obvious. It would be hard to believe most of them aren’t as disgusted with the decision in regard to Ray as the rest of us are. It’s even harder to imagine the RCMP brass who made the decision didn’t see the terrible public optics.

A tale of two BC Hydro bills: These bills are not those of KTW reader Ed Bond, but they show the rate-rider increase about which Bond writes. The bill on the left is from February and shows the 2.5 per cent rate rider; the bill on the right is from May and shows the five per cent rate rider.

Why the 100 per cent jump on hydro bill? Editor: When I examined my BC Hydro bill of April 13, I was aware of the new increases to come. However, I was shocked to see the rate rider fee has increased by 100 per cent. I tried to investigate this astronomical increase with BC Hydro and, after many conversations, the final word on the subject was from a team leader in customer service, Sarah:

“BC Hydro had nothing to do with the determination of the rate rider value as they did not request a change. The increase was set by the B.C. Utilities Commission without consulting Hydro; therefore, talk to BCUC.” BC Hydro now gets double the previous percentage on who knows how many hundreds of millions of dollars from their clients, and Ottawa gets double the HST. Seems to me there are two

winners and millions of losers. While KTW’s editorial of May 31 (‘BC Hydro decision raises questions’) addressed the question of who is in charge of whom, it did not highlight the fact the rate rider fee was increased by 100 per cent at the whim of the BCUC. I wonder how many other customers noticed the exorbitant jump in the actual percentage value? Ed Bond Kamloops

B.C. Conservatives deserve a chance Editor: Re: KTW’s May 29 Point/ Counterpoint feature with columns penned by KamloopsSouth Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger and B.C. Conservative regional director Alan Forseth: No, Krueger’s argument does not persuade me to give the B.C.

Liberals another chance. Premier Christy Clark has not caught public confidence. I had already sought out the B.C. Conservatives before the party was formally proclaimed. Although they have a long climb, the B.C. Conservatives deserve the support of voters. No, the B.C. NDP does

not deserve the opportunity to become the next government of the province. B.C. labour policies never vary from the disastrous sharethe-wealth platforms of the past and we cannot expect it to change now. Allen Hern Kamloops

Skydiving noise at airport is not a problem Editor: Re: The May 24 letter from Gilles Bellerive (‘Enough with the pollution and noise from above’): We have lived beside Kamloops Airport for more than 30 years and the noise

generated by the annual skydiving event is no worse than you would expect from living near an airport. Skydivers have been jumping at the airport for more than 20 years and our family and grandchildren enjoy watching them.

I’m not sure how long Bellerive has lived in this area, but if you move near an airport, you expect a certain amount of noise. Dianne Wyant Kamloops

Editor: Most of us have complained about our medical system from time to time, especially the emergency ward. You go in for stitches, a sprain or something in your eye and it seems to take forever. All that changed on April 27, at about 11:30 p.m., when my wife started complaining about chest pains. She already had nitro, but it didn’t seem to have any affect and the pain was excruciating. She wanted to go to bed, but I took her to emergency. There was no waiting. Within seconds, they had her in the back room and a flurry of activity was taking place. There was an ECG machine, intravenous equipment, X-rays and I don’t know what else. I need to thank Dr. Sunder, Dr. Mitchell and all their support staff. At about 4 a.m., it was determined that my wife would need surgery and Kelowna was the choice because it has the heart clinic. Dr. Townley was to perform the operation. A flight crew was called into action hours before the shift was to start. I said goodbye as they loaded my wife into the helicopter. I followed in my car. By the time I got there, a stent had been placed in her heart and she was recovering. I need to thank the flight crew, the paramedics, emergency room staff, the staff in Kelowna and the caregivers in ICU of both hospitals. Sometimes it takes a lot of people to save a life.

Police investigate gun complaint at bush party Details are scarce, but Kamloops Mounties have confirmed they are investigating a gun complaint following a weekend bush party. RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said more information would be made public later in the week, but noted investigators are looking into an incident involving someone brandishing a firearm at a bush party. “There is no reason to bring a gun to a bush

party,” he said. “We’ve already had one incident with some grievous injury.” Ward was referring to an incident last month at a party in the area of Scuitto Lake, south of Barnhartvale, which left one man dead and another man in hospital. On May 26, 25-yearold Benjamin Kirkey was shot in the wrist while he and a group of friends shot clay pigeons. Kirkey called for an

Free

ambulance, then he and another man drove to meet paramedics. The truck the men were in crashed before it could reach the ambulance and both men were airlifted to hospital. Kirkey died the following morning. Ward said bush parties can also lead to wildfires, like last week’s blaze near Noble Creek, in the hills above Westsyde. Investigators say the fire was caused by a bon-

fire in the area and photos on social-networking sites apparently show young party-goers posing with pallets prior to the fire being lit. Ward urged parents to take steps to ensure they know where their kids are hanging out, noting noise complaints in schoolyards also seem to be on the rise. “There’s no reason after midnight to be hanging around a school,” he said.

A Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre inmate was defending himself when he beat up a fellow prisoner after the victim made unwanted sexual advances on him, a judge has ruled. Stanley Frankie Michell was charged with assault causing bodily harm after a fight inside the cell of Joseph Caron. Caron suffered a broken jaw, while Michell was left unscathed. Both men were inmates in KRCC’s protective-custody unit — a section of the jail used to house sex offenders and other prisoners who might have difficulties in general population. At trial, Caron claimed he was beat up because of the sexual

Blaze began as grease ﬁre By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

A fire last week in a North Kamloops restaurant was caused by a grease fire while the coowners were engaged in a late-night cooking session in the kitchen. The fire broke out at the Golden Dragon restaurant, 554 Tranquille Rd., just before midnight on Wednesday, May 30. Firefighters battled the blaze and prevented flames from spreading to adjacent businesses in the strip mall. There was, however, considerable fire and smoke damage in the restaurant, along with smoke damage to neighbouring FX Hair Salon and Sure Copies. “There was more smoke damage to FX Hair salon than there was to Sure Copies, said Kamloops Fire Rescue Insp. Kevin Hall. “Sure Copies was able to open up for

business the next day. FX will be closed for some time.” Hall said the Golden Dragon will need structural work, though a damage estimate is as yet unknown. Hall confirmed the blaze began as a grease fire that broke out when the restaurant’s two owners were in the kitchen, cooking with fat and using a wok. Both the man and woman were able to escape, but the man suffered substantial, but not life-threatening burns, according to Hall. The woman was unharmed by the flames. “He had burns to his hands, arms and face,” Hall said. The pair was inspected by paramedics and left the scene in an ambulance. Prior to entering the ambulance, the man told KTW the grease fire started while he was deep-frying food. The fire could be

KASARAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DAY OF EMBARRASSMENT Those who did not know who Kasara was before the weekend now do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if they drove to Juniper or visited Aberdeen Mall on Friday, June 1. Kasaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family planned a Day of Embarrassment for daughter, who is graduating from Valleyview secondary. Family (some of whom travelled from Edmonton) and friends gathered at the bottom of Highland Drive, dressed in matching Kasara shirts, waiting for the grad girl to drive by. First though, she had to get into her truck, which they filled with balloons. The Day of Embarrassment culminated with a scavenger hunt and flash mob at Aberdeen Mall.

Budworm spraying set to begin The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to aerially treat up to 6,700 hectares of forest in the Kamloops area to reduce populations of western spruce budworm. The proposed treatment sites include Duffy Lake, Inks Lake, Harper Lake and Pinantan Lake. The pest management plan and maps of treatment areas can be viewed at the Thompson Okanagan Region Forest Health Program office at 441 Columbia St., or online at http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ rsi/ForestHealth/Western_Spruce_ Budworm_Spray_2012.htm. The biological agent Foray 48B will be applied by helicopter between June 15 and June 25, weather permitting. Foray 48B is a biological insecticide that is widely used in B.C. and is registered with the Organic Materials Review Institute. The active ingredient in Foray 48B is the naturally occurring bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var.

Ministry officials say birds, household pets, fish and beneficial insects (including honeybees) are not affected. The Western spruce budworm is an insect that is native to B.C. and the Pacific Northwest. In its larval stage, it defoliates Douglas fir, true firs, spruce and larch trees. A budworm outbreak has the potential to seriously harm or kill trees over large areas.

City will ask ICBC to reimburse it for $37K repair cost X From A1

McNeely said it is likely repair crews will be putting in long days to get the work done. “We’re happy with that,” he said. “We’re hopeful the contractor is going to be able to get the job done without any problems.” Work this week will lead to some lane shutdowns on Fortune Drive immediately north of Overlanders Bridge. McNeely said traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction at times, but most of the work involving significant shutdowns will be scheduled after the afternoon rush hour. To repair the span, workers will chip out loose concrete around the crack, reform the bent rebar underneath and patch it up with

Tricia Bertin said the store was affected on the day of the accident. “It definitely made a difference in our sales.” Bertin said. Butler Auto & RV owner Joel Butler, whose business is well-established and located just off the overpass, said the closure immediately impacted his sales in a big way. In an attempt to help traffic access Tranquille Market without being forced north to the intersection of Tranquille Road, Fortune Drive and Eighth Street, city crews have removed left-turn restrictions for northbound vehicles at Fortune Drive and Fort Avenue. Crews have also added a controlled leftturn arrow, timed with the green light.

new concrete. The cost of the repairs is $37,407. The city has filed a claim with ICBC for the damage to the pass and will be asking for reimbursement once work is complete. It’s not clear yet if the overpass will be open to morning traffic on June 12. McNeely said the exact time of the reopening will depend on how quickly the concrete cures. Just a week after the accident closed the overpass, businesses in the Tranquille Market shopping district along Tranquille Road told KTW sales were down.

BC NEWS

Province to add 190 nurse practitioner jobs By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The provincial government is spending $22.2 million to fund 190 new nurse-practitioner positions around the province over the next three years. B.C. established nurse-practitioner training in 2005, with a master’s-degree program that allows registered nurses to take on many of the functions traditionally reserved for doctors. The health ministry said there are 225 nurse practitioners

registered with the College of Registered Nurses of B.C., but 72 are not working in that capacity and another 30 are graduating from the program this year. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the new program is designed to close that gap. The positions are seen as important in shifting the healthcare system from an acute-care model to a preventive- and chronic-care model that better matches the actual demand and B.C.’s aging population. The government passed legisla-

tion in 2011 to allow nurse practitioners to provide their full scope of practice, including diagnosis, prescribing drugs, ordering diagnostic tests and treating most common medical conditions. B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix called the program an overdue measure that he has been urging the government to do for several years. “What the government was doing was training nurse practitioners and seeing them go the United States and go to Ontario because the government that trained them

didn’t think highly enough of the program to actually have jobs here,” Dix said. There are 45 nurse-practitioner training positions, 15 each at the University of B.C., the University of Victoria and the University of Northern B.C. in Prince George. Dr. Blair Stanley has worked with nurse practitioner Lori Verigin in Trail for the past five years. “The experience has been transformative for me and our patients,” Stanley said. “Shared care in a fully integrated model has been liberating.”

SENIORS WEEK

Does B.C. need a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advocate? Yes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and here is how the new office should operate on behalf of seniors By Brenda Prevost EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CENTRE FOR SENIORS INFORMATION info@csikamloops.ca

In the Ombudspersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, The Best of Care: Getting It Right For Seniors In British Columbia (part 2), released in February, she made 176 recommendations to government. Tucked into all these is recommendation 22, which calls for the establishment of an Office of Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advocate, a voice to speak for seniors who have no one else to speak for them. Without advocacy and support, the concerns of these seniors may never be raised or addressed. The government of B.C. has agreed to implement this recommendation. The provincial government has started a public-consultation period to get public input into the process. At its website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seniorbc.ca â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is a discussion document about how the system could be structured and how to become involved in the process. The more input received, the better the final product will be. In 1991, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 46/91:Principles for Older Persons. Among the 18 principles is No. 14, which states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;older persons should be able to enjoy human rights and fundamental freedoms when residing in any shelter, care or treatment facil-

ity, including full respect for their dignity, beliefs, needs and privacy and for the right to make decision about their care and the quality of their lives.â&#x20AC;? Principle 11 says seniors should have access to health care to maintain their physical and mental well-being and to delay the onset of illness. Older persons should be able to live in environments that are safe and adaptable to personal preferences and changing capacities and that they should be able to reside at home for as long as possible (principles 5 and 6). These principles have been in place for the past 21 years and, as Canada is an active member of the United Nations, they have been enshrined in our social culture. By and large, these principles are adhered to. However, as the Ombudspersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report has shown, there are times when they are not. There is a significant group of seniors who are unable to advocate for themselves. This group needs a voice to speak for them. The advocate must have a much wider mandate than just ensuring access to services, as important as this is. There must be proactive systemic advocacy for seniors and not only complaint-driven responses. The advocate must have the authority to push for home and community care and health services that meet the

needs of seniors. There must be emphasis placed on the need for enhancements to the system and that the volume of research that has shown the benefits to be gained from this is given consideration in government decisions. Home support can reduce the health-care cost by a significant amount. By advocating for adequate funding for home and community services, all of society benefits. The government has said it agrees seniors should be able to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, but there seems to be a disconnect between the words and the actions. Reason and not dogma should govern the decisions made regarding seniors. Part of the advocateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will be to see that government fulfils its commitment to the senior population. This is not to say the role will always be an adversarial one. There will need to be some measure of cooperation if the system is to improve and there is little doubt the system needs to improve. The public needs to understand the difference between the role of the ombudsperson and that of the advocate. The ombudspersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to ensure administrative fairness. They are not there to advocate for individual complainants, but to ensure that everyone is treated fairly by the system.

The advocate, on the other hand, is there to address individual issues and to try to bring about improvements to the system. It is essential that the Office of the Seniors Advocate, like the Ombudsperson, be independent of government. They must be free to report publicly on any issue that comes to their attention. The advocate works for the seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; population of British Columbia and not for the government or any of its ministries. In order for the seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advocate to be successful, two conditions must be met: Independence and adequate funding. If the advocate does not have the necessary funds to fully staff the office and have qualified personal to carry out investigations, it will be a futile gesture. There are a number of organizations advocating for seniors with varying degrees of success. The task is not made easier by the multitude of legislation, regulations, policies, guidelines and individual bureaucratic interpretation that prevails. Very few government departments will answer straight questions with straight answers. Organizations and individuals who are advocating for seniors have difficulties with the current system. A seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advocate with the power of a legislative office would alle-

viate a number of these difficulties. The need for a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advocate would seem to be self-evident. It will be an independent voice that will ensure a venerable section of the community has its issues heard and the problems it faces are

addressed in a timely manner. The advocate will work to remove the hurdles that currently make life difficult for an increasing number of seniors. To echo the words of Kim Carter, the Ombudsperson: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really have an opportu-

nity now in the next little while to focus on this and make it a system that we can all understand and be satisfied is working fairly and reasonably.â&#x20AC;? The government has agreed to establish an Office of Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advocate. Let us make sure that they get it right.

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

FTER spending several hours jobshadowing Mayor Peter Milobar, Nikki Fredrikson has learned that running the city is a lot of work. “He’s very busy,” she told KTW. “A very, very busy man, that’s what I can say about him.” But, the 17 year-old hopes the mayor got a similar message from her about the work that goes into managing her Type 1 diabetes. Since she was eight, Fredrikson has had to manage a host of factors that can affect her insulin levels, from the more controllable diet and exercise to things like growth spurts and other hormonal changes. Over the past week, she and five other Kamloops kids with Type 1 diabetes spent

the day with a figure in the community with an interesting job as part of the In My Shoes program organized by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Fundraising and development co-ordinator Shianne Carswell said the program gives kids a chance to connect with interesting people, while spreading awareness about a disease that is still misunderstood. Carswell said many people aren’t aware that Type 1 diabetes — which is usually diagnosed in childhood — isn’t preventable. “It’s not something that lifestyle has any part of,” she said. “It doesn’t have to do with how much sugar their parents gave them or the exercise amount. It’s something they have no control over. Their pancreas stops producing insulin for no good reason.”

During their day together, Fredrikson and Milobar talked about how she manages the disease and, in return, the mayor gave her some tips on running for council. The two also attended a bank opening, where she had a chance to meet other members of council, along with Kamloops’ MLAs and MP. “It was interesting to see how she manages day-to-day, in terms of something as simple as we were at the Bank of Montreal and they’re handing out cake to everybody as part of a grand opening celebration, and how does that all work?” said Milobar. “There’s a little more awareness that way.” “It was really cool because I got to see every angle of his job,” added Fredrikson. As for running for council, it’s something she’d consider.

“I love Kamloops so much. It’s something I’d think about doing, but I think I’d need to be way more involved to put that on my plate.” The In My Shoes participants will meet again on Sunday, June 10, for the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes at McDonald Park in North Kamloops. Pledge drop-off begins at 9 a.m., while the walk itself gets underway at 11 a.m. There will also be plenty of kids’ activities, including face painting, a bouncy tent and live shows from the Big Little Science Centre and Cuz I’m Magic. “It’s really meant to be a family day, to have all the families that have kids with Type 1 Diabetes together and give them a day that’s fun for them and inspiring,” said Carswell. To register for the walk, go online to jdrf. ca/walk.

Barker heading to Sochi D By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

IANNE Barker can cross one item off her bucket list. The Kamloops Curling Club (KCC) member will serve as an on-ice technical official at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an appointment you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solicit or ask for,â&#x20AC;? said Barker, who last week heard the

good news from Keith Wendorf, the World Curling Federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (WCF) development officer and director of competitions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the opportunity comes around, you appreciate it.â&#x20AC;? Barker served as a volunteer at the Vancouver Games in 2010 and was chief umpire at the world junior curling championships earlier this year in Ă&#x2013;stersund, Sweden. She was also chief umpire at the 2011

world juniors in Perth, Scotland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trial event for Olympics being world juniors, I hoped I was on their radar screen,â&#x20AC;? Barker said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear now the former president of the B.C. Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Curling Association was pegged by the WCF as a prime candidate for the position in Sochi. Barker plans on relishing the opportunity to interact with curlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best on the ice, where providing

measurements and rule explanations will be among her duties. There wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much time to explore the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stalinist architecture or surrounding mountains â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most of the local Remax employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time will be spent at the rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do these jobs, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working from 6:30 in the morning until 10 at night,â&#x20AC;? said Barker, noting her husband, Ed, will have more time for sightseeing.

Sochi is hosting the 2013 world juniors from Feb. 28 to March 10. Officials use the event as a test run for the Olympics, meaning Barker will be racking up a boatload of air miles in the next two years. Barker, Curl BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officiating co-ordinator, was recognized at the KCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People were really excited for me, which was great,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Chalk up another W for the Tournament Capital. Kamloops will host the 2013 Skate Canada Adult Figure Skating Championships in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the strength of the Valleyview Skating Club, paired with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great two-sheet facility, this event will see the skating community working together to put Kamloops on the figure-skating map,â&#x20AC;? Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said. Both the Olympicand NHL-size ice surfaces at McArthur Island Sports Centre will be used to host the event, which will feature about 700 of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best figure skaters. The River City was recently awarded first rights to the 2014 Under 23 North America,

Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Championships, an International Association of Athletics Federations-sanctioned track and field event. Athletics Canada offered Kamloops first rights to the NACAC championships after turning away the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for the 2015 Pan American junior track and field championships. Edmonton will host the Pan Am junior meet. City and Tourism Kamloops staff introduced Skate Canada representatives to the McArthur Island facility and local accommodations in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to be heading to Kamloops for this event and we are sure the experience the city and the venue will give our adult skaters will be top notch,â&#x20AC;? said William Thompson, Skate Canada CEO.

Bonner meets with ﬁrst-rounder Halbgewachs By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

Kamloops Blazers’ GM Craig Bonner visited Saskatchewan on the weekend. KTW file photo

Craig Bonner did not visit the Queen City to explore its cathedrals. The Kamloops Blazers’ general manager met with his club’s first-round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft, Jayden Halbgewachs, in Regina on Friday, June 1. “We’ll talk about a contract and what we have to offer,” Bonner said last week. “But, I don’t believe in pressuring people to [sign].” Bonner has met face-to-face with each of the club’s first-round picks since he joined the Blazers in April of 2008. “We talk a lot about

A PAIGE OUT OF MARTIN’S BOOK Paige Martin (left) of Sa-Hali secondary competes for the ball with Montana Zaporzan of Terrace’s Caledonia Kermodes at the provincial AA girls’ soccer championship on McArthur Island on Saturday, June 2.

The Seycove Seyhawks of North Vancouver edged the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna 1-0 in the gold-medal game on Saturday.

We get a feel for them.” Halbgewachs spent last season with the bantam AA Prairie Storm in Balgonie, Sask. The 5-foot-7, 152-pounder, racked up 55 goals and 34 assists in only 24 games. If the family wanted

to sign on the dotted line on Friday afternoon — that would have been fine with Bonner. “If they wanted to sign right away, we would,” he said.

“Generally, they take [the contract] home and they follow up on that.” Halbgewachs had not signed as of KTW’s press deadline on Monday, June 4.

LOCAL SPORTS BRIEFS

Human expands body of work at nationals Alyssa Human of Kamloops led the UBC Thunderbirds women’s golf team to victory at the Canadian University/College Championships, which wrapped up on Friday, June 1, at Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victoria. The South Kamloops secondary graduate posted a four-round total of 295 (77, 71, 72, 75), good enough for third overall in singles’ play. UBC — composed of Human, Reagan Wilson, Kylie Barros and Stephanie Wong — destroyed the competition, finishing 13 strokes better than second-place Victoria. The top-five finish earned Human exemption to the 2012 World University Golf Championship, held in July in the Czech Republic.

LESSON #4: Fault: Chipping with no conﬁdence Chilli-dip, fluff, blade, chunk and skulled are all terms we don’t like to hear and are often associated with a poor chip shot. With no confidence in your chipping, your arms will feel heavy, you will have no sense of touch around the greens and anxiety will destroy the soul. The inability to execute what should be a relatively sort shot can shake the foundation of your entire game. If this sounds like your chipping game, not to worry — there is hope. Fix — Chip as you putt. One of the quickest ways to regain confidence in your chipping game is to regard your chipping stroke as merely an extension of your putting stroke. We need to go back to basics in the way we think and the way we execute a shot. Address your next chip shot as you would a putt ,with your putting grip, bending forward until your eyes are almost over the ball, your elbows spread apart and most of your weight favouring your left foot.

The ball should be played back further in the stance than with a putter to ensure solid contact is make on the ball — and the heel of the club will be slightly raised to ensure the club brushes through the grass without getting snagged. The action of the swing is controlled with the shoulders rocking back and forth, just as you would with a putter. Concentrate not to hinge the wrists and on maintaining the width of the gap between the elbows as you swing. You should find that the ball pops onto the green nicely and will roll like a putt to the hole. Try out this technique and you should soon regain confidence in your chipping game and lower your scores.

Gaglardi’s Stars unlikely to appear in the River City that will make it challenging to bring it to Kamloops, as much as it would be so fun to have it in my backyard,”

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tom Gaglardi, owner of the NHL’s Dallas Stars and majority owner of the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers, has no plans to bring his Texas team to Kamloops for training camp. KTW file photo

Don’t expect to see Mike Ribeiro at Interior Savings Centre any time soon. “I don’t think bringing training camp to Kamloops is going to sell a whole lot of season tickets for the Dallas Stars, although I’d certainly love to do it,” said Tom Gaglardi, who owns the NHL’s Stars and is the majority owner of the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers. “I really foresee a day where we’ll hold our training camps throughout Texas, which is where our fan base is. That’s the logical place to do it.” Dallas is under contract this season to hold training camp in Boise, Idaho, home of the club’s ECHL affiliate,

the Idaho Steelheads. The decision to hold camp in Idaho was made before Gaglardi was introduced as the Stars’ owner in November. “There are so many things our guys in Texas have talked about doing, in terms of with our local network [Fox Sports] and training camp,” Gaglardi said. “Training camp is big business.” Gaglardi did not rule out bringing camp to the Tournament Capital, but hockey fans in Kamloops shouldn’t hold their breath. “There’s a lot to it

he said. “There are way more places that make more sense for the Dallas Stars and not Tom Gaglardi.”

Miltimore’s goal: To build a better guitar By Dale Bass

And, while it may have been what he and his wife were watching while he chiselled away at a guitar body, he’s hoping it doesn’t forecast his future as he represents the province in a major entrepreneurial competition hosted by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). Miltimore is one of eight young business people who made it through to the finals of the BDC’s $100,000 Grand Prize for Innovation competition.

June 19. In essence, when he goes into production, the process would become a full-production side that would hire more employees, add to the economy and continue to promote the use of Canadian — , in particular, B.C. — wood materials. “We want to be the guitar manufacturer for the world,” Miltimore said. Getting there wasn’t easy. Along the wall at the back of the Battle Street store are some of the prototypes he’s built, some of them while at home watching TV with the family. Ask him to explain it and Miltimore the businessman becomes Mike the big kid, who will gladly take you downstairs and explain every single step and show you the tools required — many of them designed by him, the store’s luthier, Mike Trelenberg, or production manager, Lee Manson — that, in the end, create the Riversong guitar.

Grotto goes Down Under By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Australian singersongwriter Kim Churchill is at The Blue Grotto for a show on Thursday, June 7. The young musician — he’s just 20 years old — finished high school, hopped into a camper-van and hit the road, touring, busking, playing and surfing. Since the time difference between Kamloops and Canberra made a phone interview challening, KTW emailed Churchill a few questions to learn more about him: Tell me about your early years, from when you started playing to when you realized it was what you wanted to do. I was introduced to the guitar incredibly early, around four or five and my mother started getting lessons. It became this regular thing for her to give me the lesson she just had. I'm not sure how much I really progressed to begin with. My earliest memories of the guitar are working out Beatles songs with mum on weekends. I must have

been about seven. From then, my dad saw my interest and enrolled me for classical-guitar tutoring and exams. I followed this for about 10 years working my way through the grades. I don’t feel as though I ever had a moment where I really realized it was what I wanted to do. It began before I can really remember and throughout I always used music and guitar playing as a way to identify myself (the kid who plays guitar). I guess I still do.

songwriting. Is that what you draw from them, or are there other aspects of their careers that influence you? Songwriting is certainly what draws me in first. Dylan and Neil Young, Nick Drake or Lennon. These guys are my idols because of what they created, rather than how they performed it. I think influences like Pink Floyd or Zeppelin were more because I liked the experimentation with sounds. Each time they get up to play live, it’s an adventure and they go off in new directions. I think this has been very attractive to me over the years and

has drawn me towards similar music. It’s the freedom of being an experimental almost 'jam-band' that I like and I try to perform and write music in a similar way. What can people who come to the show expect? Well, something different every time. I don't rehearse and, when I do, things become rehearsed (go figure). I like to keep each performance as a musical journey for myself. It also seems to work the best for listeners as well. There really is no one, not even me, who really knows what will happen next. I perform all the songs i've written over the last five or six years. I think because I have this kind of vast multi-instrumentalist approach; there is a lot of room for me to move wherever I want. Lots of electronic elements, also. Its basically an exercise in soundscaping that just worked around the songs I have written.

PICKS OF THE WEEK!

The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the signiďŹ cant beneďŹ ts of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. One of the biggest direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more for housing. People with pets also stay longer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an average of 46 months, compared to 18 months for people without pets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; saving landlords from having to spend time advertising for, ďŹ nding and screening new reliable tenants.

Kyprios keeps crowd going By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Once again, Kyprios was in the Tournament Capital and he certainly didn’t miss a beat. The rap artist from Vancouver played the Kamloops Convention Centre on Saturday (June 2) and both he and the crowd were ready to rock. Right from the start he called everyone down to the front of the stage as he opened the show with his song Throw It Away. The crowd got right into the music, dancing all through the night. With his band, The Chaperones, Kyprios played both new and older songs from his days with Sweatshop Union. Some notable songs from the show included She’s Gone, Ignorance is Beautiful and Never Say Goodbye. He sang a few songs from his new album, Midnight Sun, which is set to debut in September. Before the show Kyprios told KTW although he never gets pre-show jitters, he is nervous for other reasons. “I always want the people that are here to enjoy it, I always want to play well, perform well, I always want the promoter to do well,” said Kyprios.

He took care of that immediately. Kyprios is a tremendous showman. He came out with a surge of energy and kept that intensity level throughout. He danced around the stage as he sang, showing no fatigue as he moved to the rhythm of the beat. He had the crowd

eating out of his hand. If he asked them to clap, dance, crouch down on the floor or even bark, they did. It should be a busy summer for Kyprios. Aside from his music career, he has his first baby on the way. The junior Kyprios is due July 4. “Well we’ll see.

We’ll see. Maury Povich will let me know if it’s my baby or not,” joked Kyprios. Kyprios said his music is his passion and he’s determined to push his music career forward as he gets set for his newborn. “Two newborns,” he said. “[A] new record and a new baby.”

BUSINESS

$100,000 would boost production plans X From B1

Key to the production is the computer, which is used to design the various parts and run the machinery — including a laser — that will cut them. Miltimore will explain each step and how the computer allows him to adjust wood joints and planing, angles and tension, all essential elements to the perfect guitar. Consider the neck, for example. With the traditionally made guitar, it’s almost impossible to attach the neck to the body at the essential 90-degree angle. It’s just a fact of wood shapes, textures and the processes used now by most guitar manufacturers, he said. The neck he’s designed slides into the body of the guitar, attached at the bottom in a way that it can be adjusted with an Allen key. At the top, it’s attached to a pivot that

can also be adjusted with an Allen key — making the set-up process of a guitar a simple, quick process “we can do with the person standing here strumming it while we make the adjustments. “He can tell us right away if it’s right,” Miltimore said. The design of the neck has also been redone to allow for the guitar strings to continue straight to the nuts, rather than angling off, something else that affects the sound and can eventually lead to wear on the neck. Some of the equipment has been homemade, simply because what he needed to put his ideas into something tangible didn’t exist. Ball joints, for example — he couldn’t find a supplier with the type of joint he needed, so he improvised, thanks to a trip to Michaels, a purchase of earrings and the determination to use that material to create what

he knew he wanted. “The traditional way, you can spend hours and hours doing a lot of the work,” Miltimore said. His method eliminates a lot of the sanding and clamping and labour-intensive steps that don’t always guarantee a consistent level of quality. “If you just cut the parts right from the getgo, it’s a lot easier.”

It removes the need for a lot of the braces in a traditional guitara, as well, opening up the body to create more resonating space — and, most important to guitarists, a bigger, richer sound. Summing up what Miltimore has been working on for three years, the end result is a system that creates better guitars quicker that can be adjusted easily

the grant program — and just in time. The program is open to entrepreneurs ages 35 or younger. Miltimore got the call on April 28 — the day before he turned 36. He spent eight hours working on the submission, which required information on the company and its history, the project, its potential, a business plan and what

the money would be used for if he won. No matter what, the Riversong guitar production line is going to happen, Miltimore said. Lee’s will still build guitars the traditional way for buyers who want them but, while that’s happening, Miltimore hopes he’ll be selling more around the world. That would be music to his ears.

Scion’s FR-S sports car rewards skilled driver

’VE ALWAYS BEEN TRAINED TO LOOK WHERE I WANT TO GO. But, it was hard to shift my eyes from the wall racing toward us. Luckil, I wasn’t driving so, with a quick turn of the steering wheel, a kick of the clutch and a little finessing of the handbrake, we began drifting through the turn sideways, tires shrieking all the way. It may seem out of control but, if you know anything about the sport of drifting, it’s all about control — particularly when you have one of Canada’s best and most aggressive competitors behind the wheel. Toyota set up this little demonstration at the Autodrome St-Eustache, NEIL MOORE about 50 kilomeFirst tres northwest of DRIVE Montreal. There, it turned professional drift racer Pat Cyr loose for about five hours, individually taking journalists and company representatives for a ride in the 2013 Scion FR-S. The point of the exercise wasn’t to show off Cyr’s driving skills, but to showcase the capability of Toyota’s new rear-drive sports coupe, sold in Canada under the Scion brand. FR-S stands for front-engine, rear-wheeldrive, sport, but, unlike the car Toyota will be supplying him next year — which will be heavily modified for the professional circuit — the one we used at St- Eustache was entirely stock. “It was truly amazing how this car was able to put up with the abuse we put it through today,” said Cyr. “There are not many cars on the market that could take hot laps all afternoon with my foot mashed into the floor. You can beat on the car all day, drive it home from the track and take it to work next day.” To look at the FR-S’s power specs — 200 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque — you would think such feats beyond the capability of its 2.0-litre boxer engine. But, this car, like the Mazda Miata, is not about brute force. Nothing is overdone, but all components work together in near-perfect harmony, delivering the kind of experience Toyota president Akio Toyota had envisioned when he made a commitment to build a car that “rewards skillful driving.” The FR-S (and Subaru’s BRZ) are actually a joint project, with Subaru providing

the engine, chassis and suspension. Its flat-four engine, however, includes the D-4S injection system adopted from the Lexus IS F, and Toyota also supplied both transmissions. The overall design itself is inspired by three Toyota models: The legendary AE86 generation of Corolla (a small, rear-drive coupe introduced in 1983), the sleek 2000GT from the late 1960s and the

Sports 800. The ideals behind these cars — and particularly the AE86, which is still popular with track enthusiasts today — have been brought together in the FR-S: Lightweight, excellent power-to-weight ratio, low centre of gravity and superb balance. Indeed, the FR-S tips the scales at only 2,758 pounds and its weight is distributed 53/47 front-to-rear.

This creates a vehicle that loves to corner, with just enough understeer to make it fun. Lightweight 17-inch alloys, shod with not overly sticky 215/45/R17 summer tires help you kick out the back end when needed. X PASSION B11

As one of the greatest innovators of advanced environmental technologies, the automotive industry, including new car dealers from every corner of British Columbia, is encouraging all drivers to do their part for the environment this Clean Air Day, and everyday throughout the year. In celebration of Clean Air Day on Wednesday, June 6, new-car dealers have identified 10 tips to help drivers celebrate sustainability, improve air quality and even save some money: 1. Consider a cleaner vehicle. With vehicle prices and interest rates on new vehicles hitting record lows, there’s never been a better time to reduce your emissions by upgrading to a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle.

2. Participate in the BC SCRAP-IT program and help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by getting older vehicles off the road. Retire your 1995 or older vehicle and choose from a long list of incentives. Replacing a 1990 sedan with a 2009 hybrid can result in a reduction of up to 67 per cent in greenhouse-gas emissions. 3. Avoid unnecessary idling. It wastes fuel, money, stresses your engine and adds unnecessary pollution to the air. 4. Get regular tuneups. Vehicles that are properly serviced run more efficiently, waste less fuel and produce less air pollution. 5. Take advantage of the Clean Energy Vehicle for B.C. incentive program.

Energy Vehicle, including new electric vehicles, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles, and more. Filling up on clean electricity in B.C. can save the average driver up to $1,200 per year in fuel. 6. Make sure tires are properly inflated. Chronic under-inflation can reduce the service life of a tire by as much as 15,000 kilometres. Canadian motorists will waste an estimated 533 million litres of fuel due to under-inflated tires this year alone. This needless fuel consumption will also release an additional 1.2-million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 7. Recycle your scrap tires.

ate useful recycled rubber products such as athletic tracks and playground cover. 8. Watch the lead foot. How you drive can impact how much fuel your vehicle uses, and in turn, the level of emissions. Slow down, maintain steady speeds and avoid jackrabbit starts and hard braking to use less fuel. 9. Watch your weight. Clean out the trunk, cargo areas and passenger compartments. Less weight means better mileage. Keeping an extra 100 pounds of weight in a car will reduce its fuel economy by approximately two per cent. 10. Get sleeker. Remove roof racks when not in use to reduce wind resistance, improving aerodynamics and fuel economy by as much as five per cent.

Vehicle-stability control works to prevent (VSA) this and sport VSA allows the rear tires to slide out a little. Turn the system off for better track performance and the full drifting experience. All this, along with a centre of gravity, means it bests Porsche Cayman, Nissan GT-R and Subaru WRX. After being tossed about by Cyr on the drifting circuit, I had the opportunity to take manual and automatic models through numerous laps on the track, not to mention several runs on a slalom course. The six-speed manual shifter, as expected, was a joy to work. It has short, tight throws, just the right amount of friction and plenty of feel. It was the perfect accompaniment to this free-revving engine. So, it turned out, was the six-speed automatic. I completed a couple of laps with the system in normal mode and full stability control, yet was still impressed with its quick shifts, decent throttle response and willingness to accelerate. In sport mode — even without the paddle shifters — the auto fired off gear changes more rapidly than many double-clutch transmissions I’ve tested and held each gear to just below redline. Throttle response was now even quicker and I would estimate zero to 100 km/h acceleration times for this model to be close to the manual’s 7.3 seconds. Also impressive is the system’s automatic throttle-blipping. Apply the brakes as you’re going hard into a corner and you will hear and feel the engine speed rise to match wheel speed as the transmission downshifts. This is ideal in a track situation, but most weekend racers would probably opt for the manual. No matter which transmission you choose, all models benefit from

a Torsen limited-slip differential — another reason this vehicle feels so composed in the corners. Other than a few outward styling differences (ie. the BRZ gets a slotted grille, FR-S is eggcrate — and reversed), both cars are nearly identical. But, in terms of content, the FR-S , like other Scion vehicles, is mono-spec, which means you get a single well-equipped model with numerous options for performance and personalization. The cars we drove at St. Eustache were base vehicles with an upgraded $515 Pioneer audio system, but I found the $25,990 manual-shift FR-S just fine as-is. Ditto for the $27,170 automatic. The manual BRZ starts at $27,295 ($28,495 with automatic) and can be optioned up to even higher trim that includes heated leather seats and dual-zone climate control. But, I’d save the dough. Sure, I’m thrifty, but the grippy fabric seats in the FR-S work for me and, in a cabin this small, there’s no need for two heating and cooling zones. When I say small, it’s not so much up front but in back where passen-

AUTOMARKET Honda introduces personal-mobility device EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

Honda has unveiled the UNI-CUB, a personal-mobility device designed for use by individuals and within public spaces. Representing an evolution of the U3-X personal mobility concept device Honda announced in 2009, the UNI-CUB features a compact design with comfortable saddle and offers the same freedom of movement in all directions

a person enjoys while walking. This is achievable by Honda’s development of proprietary balance control technology and the world’s first omni-directionaldriving wheel system, inspired by robotic technologies developed for Asimo, Honda’s famous humanoid robot. These technologies allow the rider to control speed, move

in any direction, turn and stop, all simply by shifting his or her weight.

Since the rider can freely move forward, backward, side-toside and diagonally,

he or she can quickly and easily manoeuvre among other people. Moreover, UNICUB’s compact saddle-style packaging makes it easy for the rider’s legs to reach the ground while maintaining eyelevel height with other pedestrians. This configuration promotes harmony

between the rider and others, letting the rider travel freely and

comfortably inside facilities and among moving people.

With the average age of vehicles on the road at nearly 11 years old, consumers are looking for ways to keep their cars running longer. Shell recently sponsored a survey in the U.S. of auto mechanics to gather straightforward, practical advice on how consumers can best care for their vehicles. According to the survey of 450 auto mechanics, the following are some of the great tips that mechanics agree will help keep your vehicle healthy and on the road longer: • Change oil at manufacturer suggested intervals; • Replace fluids regularly; • Fill up with high-quality gasoline; • Rotate/align tires regularly. While many vehicle owners are aware of the importance of oil changes and tire rotation, many may be surprised to learn the importance of using high-quality gasoline. In fact: • More than half the mechanics surveyed agree that most fuel system repairs can be prevented by using high-quality gasoline. • Two-thirds of mechanics report using highquality gasoline in their personal vehicle all or some of the time; • Seven out of 10 mechanics agree that individuals who keep their cars longer can benefit from using a high-quality gasoline. Furthermore, 97 per cent of mechanics agree that clean fuel injectors and intake valves are important to an engine’s optimal performance.

ROBERT (BOB) JOHN ZART March 24, 1942 - May 29, 2012 On May 29, 2012 Bob passed away surrounded by his family. Bob lived in Kamloops his whole life, and in 1965 married Lynda Satti. He will be deeply missed and forever loved by his family and friends. Bob was an avid hot rodder, and spent a lot of his spare time working on his custom 1953 Chev pickup. His current project was a 1939 Chev coupe. He formed wonderful friendships with likeminded people in the Kamloops Street Rod Association. Bob worked in various ﬁelds and was a very gifted man. He had a keen eye for detail, and took pride in all of his endeavors. Bob loved lending his expertise to helping others with their projects, which also included installing multiple in ground pools in the neighbourhood. Bob had a special sense of humor, and was always young at heart. He genuinely liked people and many hours were spent in his garage enjoying life while working on his vehicles. When Bob retired he took up the hobby of baking and specialized in pies. He was best known for “Bob’s Baked Beans”. Bob was predeceased by his nephew Carey Schwarz, brother Jim Zart, mother Louise (O’Connor) Marlow, father Clarence Zart Sr., step-mother Vi Zart, and stepbrother Laurie (Barb) Williams. He leaves his grieving wife of 47 years, Lynda (Satti), son Robert Zart, daughter Megan (Gord) Flatt, and three grandchildren Tyson, Hunter and Lydia Zart. His siblings include Maureen Thompson, Sonny Zart, Julie (Emil) Schwarz, Chuck Marlow, and stepbrother Mike (Carolyn) Williams, along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. At Bob’s request, there will be no formal service. The family will have an open house with family and friends at a later date. Thank you to all of Bob’s family and friends for their love and support. The family requests no ﬂowers, but should you desire, donations can be made to Kamloops Hospice Association in memory of Bob. Thank you to all the amazing staff and volunteers there. A special thanks to Dr. Michael Wilson. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com

Thank you for all the great times Bob!

DIANE J. MARSHALL 1953 – 2012 Diane Marshall of Kamloops passed away peacefully at Ponderosa Lodge on May 30, 2012. She was born and raised in Kamloops and lived here all of her life. Diane will be loved and remembered by her family and all those who knew her. Diane was an avid animal lover and owned dogs for many years. She would light up when the St. John’s Therapy dogs came into Ponderosa for a visit. She loved to stroke the dog’s ears. Their dedication made a difference in her life. Diane’s family would like to express appreciation to all of the staff and volunteers at Ponderosa Lodge for their loving care and devotion to Diane. You became her extended family. Should anyone desire, donations to the SPCA would be appreciated in memory of Diane.

BARTLY BYE

On May 30, 2012 Bartly Jerry Bye of Kamloops BC passed away after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. Bart was born in Vancouver BC in 1943 and spent his youth in Hanna, Alberta. The majority of Bart’s life was spent in Jasper Alberta and Kamloops BC where he worked for the CN Rail and raised his family before retiring in 1998.

Bart is survived by his loving wife Marlene, children Kim and Ken, son in law Don and daughter in law Brenda. Bart will also be missed by grandchildren Michael, Ryan, Natalie, Jake and Mitch. Bart was proud of his grandchildren and always enjoyed watching all of their sporting events. He is also survived by brothers Myles, Garth, and sister-inlaw Val. Bart enjoyed life to the fullest and was positive right up until the end. In retirement Bart and Marlene skied and golfed often and spent their winters RV’ing in the sun down south. When hitting the golf course with his friends, he could always be heard saying “Oh what a life!” Bart was a true gentleman who will be missed by all. We all feel blessed to have had as much time as we had with him. The family would also like to thank the nurses and staff at RIH who cared for Bart so compassionately.

MABLE NORMA LINGREN May 31, 1942 ~ May 31, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mable Norma Lingren on May 31, 2012. She is survived and missed by her loving husband Charlie, children Nadine (Mark) Woitt of Airdrie AB, Tammy (Paul) Desrochers of Pritchard, BC, grandchildren Krista (Jason) Voth, Trent (Jaclyn) Aspeslet, Tyrell Desrochers, Kelden, and Kale Woitt, great grandchildren Nyome, Payton and Colby Voth, sisters June Roland, Dianne Block as well as countless other family and friends that loved her dearly. Norma is predeceased by her mother and father, Pete and Mable Arnell, her brothers Bill and Jimmy and sister Lois. On Norma’s 70th birthday, with her loving family by her side, she left us peacefully to be with our Lord. Norma had a special ability to make every person in her life feel as if they were the most important person in the world. Norma started her working career at the Hudson Bay, from there she went to the North Shore Safeway where she spent the last 30 years of her working career. After retiring in 1998, Norma and Charlie began enjoying their retirement years, a great trip to Alaska and travelling to Arizona for the winters and many wonderful camping and ﬁshing trips with family and friends. Even with limited mobility, the one sure thing that would put a smile on her face and make her forget about all her struggles was spending time with her babies (grandchildren). She loved them with a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck! Friends wishing to pay their respects by viewing are invited to do so from 10:00 to 11:00 before the service. The service will take place at 11:00 am on Thursday, June 7th, 2012 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints 2165 Parkcrest Ave, Kamloops, BC with Bishop Vaughn Willson ofﬁciating,

At Bart’s request there will be no service.

A very special thank you to Dr. Birdie and the nursing staff on 3 west.

ROGER JAMES MATKOVICH April 12, 1938 ~ May, 24 2012

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Roger James Matkovich on May 24th, 2012 at 74 years of age. Roger lost his ﬁght with cancer surrounded by his loving family. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 50 years, Gloria, son Glen (Lena), brothers Gary (Lucille), Gerald (Bev), sister Wendy (Ron), granddaughter Tyanna (Phil) as well as three nieces and ﬁve nephews.

Roger spent 42 years in the trucking industry, mostly hauling heavy equipment for Robo Transport and Darlen Transport. Roger always said he was like Hank Snow, “I’ve been everywhere, man.” When he wasn’t trucking he was hooked up to his trailer and off camping or exploring the country. Roger will always be loved and missed by all who knew him. A Tea to honor Roger will be held at the Kamloops Funeral Home on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at 2:00pm. A special thank you to all the ladies at the Kamloops Hospice House, Dr. Van Heerden and Ardith.

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman
