City payroll jumps $3M By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After dipping down slightly in 2010, the city’s payroll rose by nearly $3 million in 2011. According to the city’s 2011 remuneration and expense report, released last week, the overall payroll for the city is up to $49.8 million, from $47 million. There are now 35 city employees collecting more than $100,000 in gross pay — which includes taxable benefits like vehicle and parking allowances and MSP and life-insurance premiums. That’s up slightly from 2010, when 32 employees were above the $100,000but still down from INCOMPARISON: mark, 2009, when 49 people collected six figures. City managers/CAOs The city’s highest-paid Kamloops: $200,000 employee, former CAO Kelowna: $250,000 Randy Diehl, saw his pay Nanaimo: $223,000 increase to $199,823 from Chilliwack: $231,306 $195,942. Maple Ridge: $246,488 Most other directors — the city’s highest-paid staffers — saw a bump of about four per cent from 2010. Public works and sustainability director David Duckworth, the city’s second highest-paid employee, went to $154,970 from $148,548 in 2011. Director of finance and IT Sally Edwards’ salary grew to $148,624 from $142,948. CAO David Trawin — then still in his former role as director of development and engineering services — went to $148,624 from $143,092 in 2011. Parks, culture and recreation director Byron McCorkell’s pay went up by two per cent, to $151,587 from $148,508. Trawin said some of the payroll increases are partly the result of the contract the city signed with its unionized staff in the December 2010, which called for two per cent increases for each of its three years. When the new contract was settled, the city also reviewed managers’ salaries “to bring them back into market,” Trawin said. “We found out that the directors were well below what other directors are in other municipalities so they’ve been phased in to catch up.” Trawin said the city’s goal is to be in the middle of the pack when it comes to pay. “I don’t think we should be the highest compared to other communities. I don’t think we should be the lowest,” he said. “We need the average in terms of attracting quality people.”

New Patients Welcome

Honoured 67 years later By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nick Waslenchuk remembers with clarity his first major mission in Bomber Command during the Second World War. The mission over the Ruhr Valley in Germany resonates as if it happened yesterday. All major targets, such as those in the Ruhr Valley, were heavily defended. “And, when you see the first one of your planes going down, out of control, and you wait and see how many parachutes come out, and you see no parachutes come out, you know they never got a chance to bail out,” said Waslenchuk. “That’s something that you’ll remember all your life.” And, 67 years after the Second World War

ended, veterans of the Bomber Command were finally remembered in the form of a memorial, unveiled on June 28 in London, England. The 88-year-old Waslenchuk, a Kamloops resident, was among 40 Bomber Command veterans who crossed the Atlantic with Minister of Veterans’ Affairs Steven Blaney for the memorial’s unveiling in London’s Green Park. “It was just the highlight of my lifetime,” he said of the trip that he nearly missed. Waslenchuk had been in the hospital up until two days before the veterans were to depart. But, he made it. The Department of National Defence flew the veterans across the pond and Veterans’ Affairs Canada helped offset the cost of ground travel and accommodations.

New start for New Afton Mine celebrates first shipment of concentrate By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

SUALLY, WHEN someone utters the phrase, “There are a lot of moving parts,” it’s for effect. Not so when those words are coming out of Craig Lockhart’s mouth. The mill manager at New Gold’s New Afton Mine, Lockhart is responsible for overseeing the plant in which raw ore is refined into something of value — something known in the industry as “concentrate.” He was there when the mill was fired up for the first time on June 28 and he was there seven days later — Thursday, July 5 — when the mine’s first 50-ton truckload of concentrate was shipped out to buyers. And, Lockhart said, to say things have been running smoothly since production began would be an understatement. “From the day we just mashed that button until today, we’ve seen uncommonly few mistakes,” he told KTW. “With a circuit as complex as it is, with that many moving parts, we haven’t put many holes in anything yet. “The whole circuit is working together very well and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do very well.” For a milling process involving so many abrasive steps and so much brute force, Lockhart said, that’s an impressive feat. The process New Gold is following to turn New Afton dirt into copper and gold is a complicated one. The mine is an underground blockcave operation, with four kilometres of tunnels underneath Teck’s old open-pit Afton site. The raw ore is extracted through a process of drilling out earth from above the tunnels and collecting the material after it falls. From there, a series of conveyor belts takes the ore back up to the surface —

coming out just west of the old Afton pit. The ore — made up of one per cent copper and 0.6 parts per million gold — then goes to a large stockpile adjacent to the pit before being pulled by conveyor belt into the mill itself. Today, the mill is taking in about 350 tons per hour. That number will jump to 450 tons per hour by the time New Afton is in full production. Upon entering the mill, the ore is dumped into a large processor in which it’s rattled around alongside hundreds of five-inch steel balls. From there, it is screened and sent to a second, smaller processor containing three-inch steel balls. A third processor — keeping with the theme — contains one-inch steel balls. After that, the material is sent into a series of float cells — large vats containing water and a mix of chemicals to further separate the valuables from the dirt. The finished concentrate is then dumped into a storage pile to be trucked off to Vancouver and, eventually, shipped overseas. By the time the ore has been processed, the amount of copper in the concentrate is in the 28 per cent neighbourhood. It also contains 20 to 30 grams per ton of gold. Lockhart said the turnaround time for a particular piece of ore can be anywhere between 60 minutes and 24 hours. “We’re dealing with nature and we’re dealing with minerals,” he said. “Some of it’s going to flow and some of it’s not.” Mine officials expect to be at commercial production levels — 60 per cent capacity — by August and full production later this year. Lockhart said New Afton management is happy with the early results of the operation. “We’re certainly pretty pleased,” he said. “If you look at start-ups around the world, we’re keeping up with some of the best.”

NEW AFTON BY THE NUMBERS ■ 881 The number of employees at the New Afton mine site — 488 staff and 393 contractors. ■ 367 Days between the first cave blast at the site (June 27, 2011) and the start of production in New Afton’s mill (June 28, 2012). ■ 25 The percentage of New Gold’s New Afton employees who are of First Nations heritage. ■ 1997 The year mining giant Teck — operator of the Highland Valley Copper Mine near Logan Lake — shut down its open-pit operation at Afton, following a 20-year run. The old Teck mill still stands on the New Afton site, but it was deemed obsolete and is slated for demolition. New Gold staff have renovated Teck’s old on-site office building and use it for their own administration. ■ 1800s The century in which mining on the site began, albeit at a much more modest scale. ■ 48.8 The number, in millions, of litres pumped out of Kamloops Lake in 2011 for use at the New Afton site. ■ 40 The number of members on the New Afton emergency mines rescue team, trained to use extrication equipment, breathing apparatuses, spill clean-up gear and fire-suppression tools. ■1 The emergency mines rescue team’s finish at the 2011 B.C. Mine Rescue Provincial Championships, held in Revelstoke. ■2 The number of fire engines for the New Afton emergency mines rescue team.

LOCAL NEWS

Vandals plaguing Dallas area Police are investigating another case of vandalism in east Kamloops — the fourth in the last week. On the weekend, five vehicles were damaged during a vandalism spree in the 5000-block of Bostock Place. The vandalism follows three similar incidents last week — at the B.C. Wildlife Park, Dallas elementary and a Dallas-area showhome trailer. Three teens — one of whom had glass shards on his backpack — were detained following the damage to Dallas elementary, but police had insufficient evidence to recommend charges. “Overall, there has been a spike in property damage in Dallas,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned, calling the vandalism “nonsensical damage.” Anyone with information can call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Cellphone voyeur? He “gave her the creeps” and may now face charges. Just before midnight on Friday, July 6,

POLICE BEAT police were called to an Aberdeen home for a report of voyeurism. A 19-year-old tenant living in a basement suite in the 2000-block of Garymede Drive said she spotted a man taking pictures of her through a window as she prepared to go to bed. Learned said the woman told investigators there had been a weird guy hanging around her workplace earlier in the evening. “The female reported that the male ‘gave her the creeps’ and is not someone she knows or has seen before,” Learned said. Mounties patrolled the area and found a man matching the description given by the 19-year-old woman. Learned said he was sitting behind a mailbox looking at photos on his cellphone. The investigation is ongoing.

Wired for theft Kamloops Mounties are working to figure

out where 11 rolls of aluminum wire came from — and how it wound up in the hands of a trio of known crooks. Learned said police were called to a secluded area off McGill Road at about 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 8, after a security guard in the area spotted three people loading wire into a car. Within a few minutes, officers tracked down the suspect vehicle — a grey 1997 Ford Taurus being driven by a 40-year-old woman who is known to police — and pulled it over. Inside, Learned said, investigators saw 11 rolls of aluminum wire. The driver and her two male passengers — one 43, the other 48 — claimed they had done nothing wrong. “They stated they had found the wire in Kenna Cartwright Park earlier in the day while riding their bikes,” Learned said. But, Mounties don’t appear to be buying their story. “There’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that this property is stolen,” Learned said. “It’s just from whom it was stolen.”

weekend, resulting in one arrest for impaired operation of a vessel and two tickets issued to other boaters for failing to have adequate equipment on-board.

River closure to end The short stretch of the South Thompson River between Riverside Park and the Red Bridge — the last portion of local waterways to remain closed to boat traffic — could be open within days, according to Kamloops Mounties. Learned said the river’s water levels are receding at a rate of about a foot a day, meaning the CN Rail bridge east of Riverside Park could be safe for boaters by Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Officials are waiting until the bridge has a 12-foot clearance before re-opening the South Thompson at Riverside Park. The North Thompson and the stretch of river between Riverside Park and Kamloops Lake reopened last week. Learned said an RCMP boat was patrolling the water over the

Premier to announce hospital funding? Premier Christy Clark is headed back to Kamloops for the second time in two weeks. Clark’s press secretary, Mike Morton, confirmed the premier will be in the city on Wednesday, July 11, for an event of

“particular interest.” She was last in Kamloops on June 29, for the groundbreaking of the $75-million Telus Data Centre. Though details of tomorrow’s visit are limited, some are theorizing Clark will announce par-

tial funding for the Royal Inland Hospital’s site master plan. Completed last year, the master plan calls for a multi-storey surgical tower with larger operating rooms and a parkade with about 300 stalls.

Y Dream Home winners to visit abode today By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

After months of anticipation, the dream has finally come true for two lucky winners. The Y Dream Home has been won and the lucky ticket number was number 1115, held by Kamloops couple Dennis and Eva Dornan. Eva was alone at the couple’s North Kamloops home when she received the call — and she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “We have never won anything like this before,” Eva told KTW. “I was so surprised. I was home alone and I didn’t know what to do.” She said it took a few minutes to register that they had actually won. She then called her husband to let him know the good news. Dennis was at work in Merritt at the time and headed home once he heard the news. While waiting for her husband, Eva said she couldn’t help but express her excitement. “Every once in a while I’d go, ‘Wow! Wow!’ And, there was nobody in the house but me,” she said with a laugh. Dennis said he had tried to buy a package of five tickets, but they were sold out, so he instead bought three individual tickets. Eva said they have purchased tickets in past Y Dream Home draws, including spending $500 last year. The couple has not toured the Sun Rivers home and was thinking of selling the house, but that might change once they see it. Eva, 65, and Dennis, 68, plan to visit their new abode today (July 10).

Haze over city likely to remain a bit longer By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

An air-quality advisory for Kamloops put in place over the weekend will be called off this week, but the haze that prompted the warning will likely be visible in the city until the end of the week. Kamloops fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said the haze, which settled over the city this past weekend, is a mix of smoke from wildfires in the U.S. and Russia. “A lot of it is from the Colorado wildfires than have been burning for quite some time.

“But, believe it or not, a big chunk of it, based on the weather models we’re looking at, is from Siberia,” he said. “There’s some pretty significant fires going on over there and it looks like the smoke and haze got caught in a jet stream that came over the Pacific and settled right down in some of our valleys.” The haze is expected to hang around until Friday, Skrepnek said, but that will depend somewhat on weather conditions. Whether the fires continue to burn won’t affect air quality in Kamloops, however. “This haze could

be from burning that happened a week ago and it’s just taken its time to get here,” Skrepnek said. Over the weekend, the provincial Ministry of Environment and Environment Canada

issued an air-quality advisory for the South Thompson, which was pulled back on Monday (July 9) morning. Instead, a new warning was issued for the Cariboo and Williams Lake region

still low, thanks to weeks of rain that dampened the city in June. Skrepnek said the ground is still drying out but, with little rain in the forecast for the next week, the situation could change.

of haze and smoke seen over the weekend were probably the result of a warm mass of air that formed over top of the smoke, trapping it in the city’s valley bottoms. Kamloops’ own fire-danger rating is

because of high concentrations of fine particulates and ozone. Skrepnek said he’s heard reports the smoke has also moved into Alberta. Skrepnek said the heavier concentrations

Wildlife park to add more security By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Escalating vandalism at the B.C. Wildlife Park is taking its toll — not only on the staff dealing with it, but on the facility’s finances. Park general manager Glenn Grant said there have been three instances of vandalism in the past month, each worse than the last, with the most recent one happening some time during

the night of Wednesday, July 4. Animals have not been hurt, although in the most recent incident, bales of hay tossed into the goat den led to the animals overeating and suffering from diarrhea the next morning. Vandals have also targeted displays and buildings. Six large windows in the main building were broken in the last attack, fire extinguishers were discharged randomly, interior and exterior displays

were destroyed, lights and paper-towel dispensers in washrooms were ripped off and garbage bins were strewn about. To combat it, Grant said, the park will have to tweak its budget to pay for full-time security, video monitors and alarm systems on some outbuildings not yet wired for security. “No, we don’t have the money for this,” Grant said, “but we’re going to have to find it somewhere.”

Maureen Thompson doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the freedom sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have. She is a dialysis patient, which means three times a week, she needs to be at the hospital for hemodialysis treatment. She said she often spends four hours or more on a dialysis machine and about 25 hours in a week at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which is almost equivalent to a parttime job, so my parttime job right now is keeping myself alive,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson. She said she was diagnosed with kidney failure about 12 years ago and has been on dialysis for the past eight. At first she did peritoneal dialysis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which involves cleaning the blood while still in the body. A catheter is put into the abdomen and a fluid is pumped in to clean out waste and eliminate excess water. She did this treatment until she got an infection and was switched to hemodialysis, which involves having a machine extract and clean the blood. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process that has taken a toll on her body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find hemodialysis a harder system on my body because, with

peritoneal, I was able to have a much fuller, richer life but, on hemodialysis, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m finding at times I struggle with it,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, when you do have days where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling great, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of things you can achieve in a day,â&#x20AC;? she said. Thompson said without the treatments, she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to live much longer than a week. She said she has end-stage renal-kidney failure, which means she will be on dialysis for the rest of her life, unless she finds an organ donor. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been waiting for almost eight years now. Quinn Thomas, a 21-year-old medical student from Montreal, is on a mission to help people like Thompson. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling across Canada, from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, to raise awareness about the need for organ donations. His cross-country ride landed him in the River City, on Friday, July 6, and he visited with Thompson and other dialysis patients before speaking to a crowd at Gagliardi Square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly a great young man for doing this,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson. After speaking with Thompson, Thomas

Dearborn Ford congratulates Mike Turner for his accomplishment in June. Mike would like to thank all his customers and knows the secret to his success is that customers expect fair, open and respectful negotiations. They do not buy on price alone, but only when they see value in the entire sales experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when the benefits outweigh the cost. And they feel like winners when they believe they have received value.

but only 14 per cent are registered as donors, Thomas said. Thompson said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think people realize how easy it is to register as a donor, pointing out it can be done by going online. Thomas stressed the importance of registering and talking to family about the intention to become an organ donor. Waiting until the last second to make these decisions is not the way to go, he said. Now, Thomas is riding out toward Calgary and is looking to hold more events to raise awareness on organ donations as he travels across the country. To contact Thomas, go online to organdonationheroes.ca or call his cellphone at 1-581-9971097. To register as an organ donor, go online to transplant.bc.ca.

Thomas pointed out he will be able to cycle across Canada faster than it takes for someone to receive a kidney. About 85 per cent of Canadians agree with organ donation

Examining nuggets from Bill Barlee’s story-rich gold pan

HORTLY AFTER WORD came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced a halfdozen of his original self-published quarterlies, known as Canada West magazine. The earliest one is Winter 1970, where the publisher’s note advises subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscriptions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions. The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the OkanaganSimilkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, on which Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.” With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends. “Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” analyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westminster to squander a small fortune in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in

VICTORIA 1891 and, in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled goldladen creek “probably does not exist.” A passion for prospecting runs through the magazines and hints at Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seeking Americans. They overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold and, according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites. Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work and traced his lonely mission to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.” Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas and construction began on three. But, Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election and today only half-built shells remain.

“He was still selling Sandon’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But, by then he was ridiculed for it and finished a distant second.” Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s. Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert. I first discovered Barlee when I was a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

It’s getting hot out there. Finally, summer seems to have arrived. Kamloopsians complain often about our typically dreary weather in June — now commonly, perhaps affectionately, known as “Jun-uary” — but, this year, it turns out the complaining wasn’t without good reason. Kamloops avoided the flooding that affected other parts of the province last month. However, now that the wet weather is apparently behind us, the sudden turnaround to a hot, dry summer brings a new set of challenges — more important than listening to moaning about the heat, instead of the cold and damp. In the forests and interface zones (where forest meets urban), the lengthened growing season has translated to plenty of undergrowth, which will become potential fire fuel as it dries out. More than ever, fire officials are urging people to be wary of the risks for brush fires and wildfires. The risks could be compounded, fire prevention officials and firefighters worry, by a sense of complacency that might have grown out of the recent lengthy spate of grey. That’s concerning because it only takes a few hot days strung together to eliminate any residual moisture left in wooded areas from an extended damp stretch. So, as we move from damp to dry, please remember to minimize fire risks.

INSIDE:

Editor: I have just read KTWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special bicentennial edition. It is awesome. I learned history of Kamloops that I did not know before. I love the colour and size of the newspaper as it looked like it would back in the day. The before and after pictures are so amazing to look at. From learning the name of the first nonnative person born in Kamloops (Rose Schubert on Oct. 14

1862) to who was hanged and the executioner, Arthur Ellis, who became well known for this, to the City of Kamloops being incorporated in 1893, the same year the Stanley Cup was first awarded to the Montreal Athletic Association â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is so much great information. There is so much to mention. A pat on the back to those at KTW who worked on this edition. Thank you. Tammy Walker Kamloops

How can you get experience if you need experience? Editor: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to talk about getting a job in Kamloops. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible for some people to find work. Yeah, if you have experience, no problem. But, for those trying to get experience, such as graduates and stu-

dents, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just impossible. Everywhere in Kamloops, employers want to hire experienced people. Restaurants, clothing stores and housekeeping companies should be teaching how to do the job as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not that hard. I understand needing

experience if you are trying to be a mechanic or some other specialized profession, but how are people who need experience and need a job supposed to work when no one will hire them? The whole thing is to learn and get a job. As I hand out resumes, the first thing

they ask is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you have experience?â&#x20AC;? And, once I say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? they just say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh well, we will give you a call.â&#x20AC;? The whole point of getting experience is allowing people with no experience to learn in life. I hope people agree

with me on this because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair at all and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see something done. Everyone needs work and to learn in life, but every year fewer people are getting educated. The world is just going to dirt. Ashton Durante Kamloops

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s create a dandelion festival in Riverside Park Editor: I would like to jump into the pesticide-banning fray with a good idea. I happen to love dandelions. How about an annual dandelion festival? One possible activity would be to build carpets of designs made with dandelions on downtown sidewalks one weekend in summer. Another place could be the cement walks in Riverside Park. (The eyesore hotel rising across from the park preparing to cash in on

its share of free attractions for hotel clients. One more freebee for Tom Gaglardi wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change a thing.) Think of all the dandelions people would pick and glue down on brown paper, use in garlands, decorate on bicycles, baby buggies and red wagons and use in wine.

PICKS OF THE WEEK!

The Bomber Command Memorial in London, England, honours the heroism of the 55,573 men who died while on bombing missions. Another 18,000 men were wounded or taken prisoner. About 125,000 men served in Bomber Command, about 10,000 of whom were Canadian. Bomber Command had highest casualty rate of any service in the Second World War and its members had an average age of 22. Veterans’ Affairs Canada photo

‘War’s a hell of a thing’ But, says Kamloops veteran: ‘I’m very proud of my service time’ X From A1

Waslenchuk said he was very impressed with the entire trip, noting it was perfectly run and organized. He said he and his fellow veterans were impressed with the memorial statue, which depicts an air crew of the Bomber Command looking up toward the sky. Waslenchuk remembers seeing his first airplane when he was six or seven. He recalls not believing such a big thing could stay up in the air. “I just fell in love with airplanes and, every chance I had when I was growing up, I’d try to go somewhere where there were airplanes flying,” he said. Waslenchuk got a job in Calgary when he was 17 and volunteered for the Air Force in November 1941, two years into the Second World War. However, the Air

Force wouldn’t take him because he wasn’t yet 18 and didn’t have his Grade 12 diploma. Instead, he was sent to a preenlistment school in Edmonton, where he was given a crash course in the subjects he needed to qualify for flying. Within a few

months, Waslenchuk graduated and was sent overseas. In the Bomber Command, he served as a bombardier, responsible for aiming the bombs dropped on targets during runs. “War’s a hell of a thing,” he said. “It’s something I

wouldn’t want to do again, but I’m certainly proud that I had a chance to do it. “Matter of fact, I’m very proud of my service time in the

air force.” The Bomber Command Memorial honours the 55,573 men from Allied countries who lost their lives in the Second World War.

Goats go for the green A herd will be munching on weeds in Kenna Cartwright Park By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

In its latest efforts to manage noxious weeds in Kenna Cartwright Park, the City of Kamloops is going back to nature. Starting today (July 10), a couple hundred goats will be herded through problem sections of the park by horseback riders and dogs. For the next eight to 12 days, the goats will be tasked with eating toadflax, knapweed and other problem plants in the park. Kelly Johnston, the city’s natural-resource section leader, said the goats — supplied by Alberta-

based Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control — have been used to successfully manage weeds on forest cutblocks in the Peace River area and in northern Alberta. While sheep and cows are also used in some places for weed control, Johnston said goats have a natural advantage: Their digestive systems break down weed seeds, so they’re no longer able to germinate when they come out the other end. They also work cheap. While it costs the city about $820 per hectare to have the weeds hand-pulled by prisoners (or

$5,000A6 were city staff to take up the task), the goats cost $300. They’re also cheaper than spraying pesticides — $1,000 per hectare — which Johnston said the city would rather not do. “The goats are working out to be quite economical,” he said. “The problem is they can only be used in large areas. “You can imagine trying to squeeze goats into small, little green spaces in behind homes and stuff.” The city is testing the herd on 33 hectares of land in Kenna Cartwright in part

A11

because it’s the largest space available. But, if they’re successful there, Johnston said the goats could come to smaller parks. “We want to see how it works and how the public takes it,” he said. “We want to see how it goes there and work into other areas that aren’t as big, and we’ll see what the comfort level is for people and the operators.” While the goats will mostly be working in remote areas of the park, Johnston said operators are bringing along a few animals for the public to meet and

pet — and are happy to answer questions about their work. When not out munching, the goats will be penned up in “the back reaches” of the city yard, Johnston said.

I will be on holidays July 20 until July 28.

READY TO HELP YOU Members of the Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) team will be downtown providing information and selling passports for the Merchant Market’s Taste of Downtown on Thursday, July 12. Among the team members Kelly Trainor (left), Mairi Dagleish, Kristina Moller, Kevin Lapratt and David Ancheta. Every year, the team is put together by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) to take to the streets, helping downtown businesses, assisting tourists and locals and acting as an extra set of eyes and ears for police and bylaw officers. There will be five tourist ambassadors and four Safety Patrollers this year. KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler said she is always excited to have a mix of new and old members on the team. Alleys will again be a focus this summer. “We’re trying to reduce the number of dumpsters in the back alleys by getting businesses to share, so that’s something the safety patrol is working on,” Pooler said, noting they are also looking at adding more lighting in alleys. The CAP team kiosk will be located in the 300-block of Victoria Street. Its office is at 340 Victoria St.

Milobar appointed to B.C. Transit By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mayor Peter Milobar is joining the B.C. Transit board of directors. The Kamloops mayor, along with Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton, are the two newest appointments to the seven-member board, which oversees the transit authority and reports to the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. B.C. Transit is undergoing an independent panel review, examining the efficiency of its operations, its governance and its funding and communications with local governments. The panel expects to deliver a report and recommendations this August.

The government cut the items — including apnea monitors, ventilator and inhaler equipment, toe spacers and position chairs — in 2010, citing an increased caseload. “We know that these restored items will mean a lot to those who need them,” said minister Stephanie Cadieux in a release. Funding will resume this October.

Roost boosted to help disabled A Westsyde event centre that hosts farmbased activities is getting $50,000 from the federal government to make the space more accessible to people with disabilities. Rainbow’s Roost will use the cash, which comes from the gov-

The latest round of accessibility funding saw the government give $6.2 million to 188 projects nationwide. Rainbow’s Roost hosts events such as farm-to-table classes and orienteering workshops, and also houses a petting zoo.

Police on the lip of the truth Pellet gun/graffiti incident may result in charges By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It appears as though a trio of North Kamloops teenagers picked the wrong garage to hit with graffiti on the weekend. According to Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned, the young men were spray painting a garage in the 200-block of Poplar Street in North Kamloops at about 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 8. It just so happened that, at the same time, the 29-yearold homeowner was inside his garage, practising with his pellet gun. Learned said the man heard what was going on and went

outside to investigate. “When he saw what was happening, he discharged several pellets in the direction of the youths,” Learned said. Two of the teens yelped and ran away. The third, Learned said, stuck around a bit longer before taking off. The shooter called Mounties to report the incident. Three hours later, police received a call from Royal Inland Hospital about a teenager suffering a pellet wound to the lip. According to Learned, the boy had told the doctor — and his mother — that he was walking down the street when

an errant pellet hit his face. Police believe the two incidents are related. As far as potential charges being laid, Learned said, it could go either way. “Man can take reasonable efforts to defend his property,” he said, citing the Criminal Code of Canada. “It’s just defining what’s reasonable. “There may be no charges — or there may be charges against one or against both.” Learned said the next step for investigators will be to see if the homeowner can identify the injured teen as one of the vandals upon whom he opened fire.

Kamloops building is booming By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is again upping its building-permit estimates for 2012. After forecasting about $160 million in permit activity for the year last month, acting chief building inspector Bruce Barclay said he’s now expecting to see the city issue $175-million worth of permits by year’s end. According to the latest building-permit statistics, $21.6 million in permits went out last month, compared to $15 million in 2011.

A big portion of that was a $12.2-million seniors’ complex on Tranquille Road. The city also issued a $1-million permit for a new restaurant in the 100-block of Victoria Street and $5.8-million worth of single and multi-family housing permits. Commercial projects drove June’s permit gains and Barclay said he expects that trend to continue. “Looking at what we have sitting on our books to go out still, it’s going to be a pretty good year,” he said. “That’s why we had to revise it up again.” Among the projects in the works are $6 million in renovations for Target and

The promotion is part of the convenience-store chain’s way of thanking its customers on its 43rd birthday, with a half-million 7.11-ounce Slurps being handed out across Canada. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. — or until the last cup is handed out — people can grab a cool drink from their local 7-Eleven and beat the heat for free.

Wal-Mart, a $9-million seniors’ project on Mayfair Street and the $27-million Telus data centre. “We’re sitting right now on $40-million in permit value,” Barclay said. “So, even if one’s not picked up, we’re going be pushing easily the $150- to $175-million mark.” While Barclay said he expects commercial construction will continue to outpace residential this year, he said there is a chance the businesses being built will drive up residential work. “Maybe you’ll see people that are going to go work for some of those companies coming in,” he said.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Looking at Syria — and the illusion of hope

OFI ANNAN DOES THE BEST HE CAN. At least he’s back in harness, doing what he does best: Trying to make peace where there is no hope of peace. The rest of them do the best they can, too, give or take the odd Russian. Well, not exactly the best they can, but at least they do enough to make it look like they’re trying. And, you can’t really blame them for faking it because they all know it that it can’t work. Annan, exUnited Nations secretary-general GWYNNE DYER and now special World UN envoy for WATCH Syria, announced a special “action group” meeting in Geneva had come up with a plan to stop the carnage in Syria. Or, at least a faint hope. Or not, as the case may be. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council were there, plus some of the biggest regional players (but not Iran, which backs the Syrian regime, or Saudi Arabia,

which supports the rebels). They condemned “the continued escalating killing” and agreed there must be a “transitional government body with full executive powers.” Then, they all went outside and spat into the wind, just to show how determined they were. An early draft of the communique said “those whose continued presence and participation would undermine the credibility of the transitional government” — Bashar al-Assad, in other words — should be excluded, but that wording was gone from the final document. So, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he was delighted with the outcome, since “no foreign solution” was being imposed on Syria. Meanwhile, the Syrian National Council, the most coherent opposition group, said it would reject any plan that did not include the unconditional departure of Assad, his family and his close associates. Assad told Iranian television no amount of foreign pressure would make his government change its policy. And, on Friday, June 29, the day before the Geneva meeting, an estimated 190 people were killed in Syria, most of them by the government. So many people have already been slaughtered by Assad’s troops and their Alawite

WHITING On Tuesday, June 26, 2012 Mrs. Sheila Dawn Whiting passed away peacefully at the Kamloops Hospice Home at the age of 63 years, with family present. She is survived by her loving husband Stacey, her daughter Shelley and son Shane, grandson Zeth; her brothers Tom, Gary and three sisters Debbie, Wendy, Jennifer and mother Betty. She was predeceased by her father Sydney Yates in 2011. Sheila was a very vibrant, loving person who experienced each day with renewed positive energy that effected all around her. Her smile along with a hug was her standard greeting. Sheila had a special place in her heart for her grandson-Zeth. His visits were always a highlight for her as their bond was exceptional. Family was always important to Sheila but she was always interested in other people’s lives and took time to listen. Sheila enjoyed working at the lab at RIH with all her workmates who were a close group. Sheila was very active all her life. Curves became her place of exercise but she also very much enjoyed the social environment it provided for her with all her friends. Sheila retired in Feb 2006 and 2 months later had cancer. Sheila’s relentless battle with ovarian cancer for the last 6 years, which involved over 40 chemo treatments and surgery, it then became my privilege to serve as her caregiver. People around Sheila fed off her positive attitude, which was a delight to watch. Thank you to Dr Ellard and nurse Karen at the Kelowna cancer clinic, 8th ﬂoor RIH cancer clinic, Dr Stabler and Dr Montalbetti for their attention to detail that they provided for Sheila. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal. A Celebration of Sheila’s life will be held on Saturday, July 14, 2012 at 11am in the Southwest Community Church with Royal Inland Hospital Spiritual Chaplain Viktor Jan Gundel ofﬁciating. Should friends desire, donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association or the Royal Inland Hospital, Cancer Services Fund in memory of Sheila would be appreciated.

militia allies that there is no forgiveness left among the opposition. There is so little trust that a negotiated handover of power could not succeed even if Assad wanted that. His only remaining options are victory, exile or death. It bears repeating this is not how the Arab Spring ended up. It’s just how Syria has ended up, after eight months of non-violent demonstrations in the face of extreme regime violence gave way to armed resistance. The other Arab revolutions have not been drowned in blood (with the exception of Bahrain) and some of them, like Tunisia’s and Egypt’s, have already wrought huge changes. There’s even another one starting in Sudan right now. Two things make Syria different. One is its extreme religious and ethnic complexity, which makes it hard for protesters to maintain a united front against a regime that is adept at playing on inter-group fears and resentments. The other is that Assad heads the Syrian Baath Party, a ruthless machine for seizing and holding power that copied much of its organisation and discipline from the communists. Why, then, would we expect it to behave any better than its former twin, the Iraqi Baath

Party that was led by Saddam Hussein? Even the party’s role as the political vehicle for a religious minority was the same: Alawites in Syria, Sunni Muslims in Iraq. So, if you were wondering how Hussein would have responded to the Arab Spring, now you know: Just like al-Assad is responding. (At this point in the argument, the American neo-cons will be getting ready to claim that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was a blessing for Iraq after all. Not so fast, boys. Iraq is still not a very democratic place, and at least 10 times as many Iraqis as Syrians have already been killed in the process.) How long will the killing in Syria last? Until the rebels win or until they are crushed. Are they going to win? Nobody knows. Will the neighbouring countries get dragged into the fighting? Probably not, although Lebanon is seriously at risk. Can Annan, the United Nations or the great powers do anything about this? Not a thing.

JOHN STANTON BABCOCK April 2, 1921 – June 30, 2012

John was born in Rochester, New York, to John and Hester Babcock with two older siblings Ed and Olivia who lovingly called him “Jack”. John received his mining engineer degree in Socorro, New Mexico, and after serving in the war as a navigator he met and married Dorothy who he adored. John’s children, Lyndell Gollings (Patrick) of Australia, Edward Babcock (Sheila) of Kamloops, Becky Meehan (Jerome) of Lumby and Lourine Babcock (Patrick) of Kamloops, were all born in Sliver City, New Mexico. After moving the family to Alaska for work they moved to Vancouver where John and Dorothy lived until they decided to retire and went sailing for eight years on a 40 foot sloop around the South PaciÀc and Mediterranean. They have lived in Kamloops for the past 22 years and have many friends and family in the area and the lower mainland. John helped in the community by volunteering his time with the Screening Mammography program and mobile unit where Dorothy worked. He was an avid outdoors man – whether it was hunting, Àshing, hiking, exploring or just enjoying his beautiful surroundings, he had a sense of peace with the world. He loved his dog Papillion, reading the Ànancial papers, planting his dahlias, and going for Sunday drives with his beloved Dorothy. Above all else though, he cherished his family and always valued the individuality of each of his children. He taught his family many life lessons but one of his greatest gifts was to help his children appreciate the magniÀcence of nature. Thank you, dad, for your wisdom, compassion, endless support, guidance and unconditional love. John had a powerful quiet presence that made you migrate to him. The twinkle in his blue eyes and his infectious laughter made you want to be near him. The uniqueness of him made you want to love him. The world has lost a very gentle soul and a very great man. John had a remarkable 91 year journey and during his lifetime he touched many people along his path. We will forever miss our father, husband, grandpa, great grandpa, uncle and friend and feel so blessed to have embraced his love and had him in our lives. “We will never be the same as we were before this loss, but are ever so much better for having had something so great to lose.” (Leigh Standley) A celebration of John’s life will be held at Rainbow’s Roost – 6675 Westsyde Road, Kamloops, on Sunday, July 15th @ 1:00 p.m. Friends and family are most welcome. Special thanks to the Interior Health Palliative Care Program and High Country Health.

Return of the Sandpipers By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rick Leroux and the Kamloops Sandpipers hoisted plenty of senior men’s baseball hardware, including the 1988 Western Canadian Baseball Association trophy. The Sandpipers are holding a 30-year reunion this week in conjunction with the 40th Kamloops International Baseball Tournament. Former members from across the province will meet in Kamloops for the celebration, which will include an intrasquad game on Saturday, July 14.

ICK LEROUX can’t wait to reunite with his Kamloops Sandpipers teammates — it’s been a long time coming. The now-defunct senior men’s baseball team is having a 30-year reunion this week, starting Thursday, July 12, in concert with the 40th Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT). “It’s going to be neat to see some of those guys and talk about some of the things that went on during tournaments and road trips,” said Leroux, one of the team’s founding members. “There will be some laughs for sure.” Leroux split from the Kamloops Brewers and formed the Kamloops Stockman’s All Stars in 1977. The team began using the Sandpiper moniker in 1984 and went on to win four consecutive provincial titles — from 1984 to 1987 — and one senior AA men’s Western Canadian Baseball Association (WCBA) championship, beating the North Shore Blue Jays on home soil in 1988. Kamloops was not allowed to compete in the 1988 provincial tournament because it was hosting Westerns. The Blue Jays won the B.C. Title in the

Sandpipers’ absence. “I think the desire of our team to be winners was pretty neat,” said Leroux, who mostly pitched, played shortstop and caught for the Sandpipers, although he could slide in anywhere on the field. “It was pretty well a full-on commitment from all the guys that played. The guys we picked up wanted to play for us. “They saw what kind of an organization we were — and that was a winning organziation.” Leroux — who pegged Ken Davidowski as one of the all-time best Sandpipers — played with Kamloops until he left the city in 1991. He now lives in Vernon. The Sandpiper name

watch the Sandpipers play an intrasquad game at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 14. The game will be played on the Bantam No. 1 Field on McArthur Island. Leroux said it will be just like old times. “When we lost 2-1 in the Kamloops International to the Washington State Cougars, one of their questions was, ‘Where did you guys play your college ball?’” said Leroux, noting John Olerud played for the Cougars that day. “Ninety-five per cent of us said, ‘We didn’t play college ball.’ “We’re just a bunch of guys who want to play baseball.’”

was last used in 1993. Kamloops beat the Enderby Legionnaires — one of its traditional rivals — handily in a reunion game a few years after the team disbanded, marking the last time many of the players met face to face. The reunion kicks of Thursday night when the squad gathers at Norbrock Stadium to watch KIBT action. Team members will play a round at Mt. Paul Golf Course on Friday, July 13, before heading to Frick and Frack for food and drinks. There are also rumours of “a hot tub party in Fitzer’s room” on Friday night, according to a reunion weekend press release. Fans are invited to

U14 Blaze girls win Kamloops’ only gold Kamloops teams combine to post 6-4-26 record at provincials The under-14 Kamloops Blaze girls snuck into the final at the Youth Provincial A Cup and capitalized on the opportunity, earning a 2-0 victory over Central City Breakers Elite on Sunday, July 8. Kamloops made it into the final on goal differential, with their plus-1 edging Richmond’s minus-1. Both the Blaze and Richmond posted 1-1-1 round-robin records. Hannah Marra and Emerson Hansen struck late in the championship tilt for the Blaze, who received solid

goalkeeping all tournament from Brenna Worsfold. The victory over Central City — made up of players from Whalley, Newton, Guildford, Fleetwood and Cloverdale — might be considered an upset, as the Breakers rolled through roundrobin play, posting a 3-0 record, including a 1-0 win over the Blaze on Thursday, July 5. Chris Hansen and David Lloyd handled the Blaze’s coaching duties. The U14 girls won their division at the

Slurpee Cup in the River City and brought home gold from the Surrey Mayor’s Cup earlier this season. The only other Kamloops teams to reach finals on the weekend were the U14 boys, who lost 3-1 to the Port Moody AC Selects, and the U18 girls, who lost 2-1 to the Richmond Red Hot Selects. Nine teams from the Tournament Capital competed at the provincial A Cup. They combined to post six wins, four ties and 26 losses.

Tiger back on track for Jack’s record

HERE would sports be without

statistics? No one would know who the playoff contenders were if somebody didn’t keep track of the wins and losses. Batting titles, Most Valuable Player awards, scoring championships . . . all based on stats. So, it was intriguing the other day to read a story online about the most significant numbers in sports. The author determined that ‘18’ was today’s most significant number. (We’ll get to the ‘why’ a little later.) If you’re a baseball fan, you know the magic surrounding 56. That’s the consecutive-game hitting streak accomplished in 1941 by Joe DiMaggio of the Yankees. Pete Rose got to 44 in the 1980s, but no one has come closer. It’s regarded as one of sports’ most unbreakable records (other than, in some quarters, 18). If you’re a hockey fan, 50 used to be the magic number. A 50-goal season was Hall-of-Fame territory, but now the record is 92 in a season

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW (Wayne Gretzky, naturally). Do you recognize 212? That’s Gretzky’s one-season point total and, if DiMaggio’s 56 is unattainable, then The Great One’s 212 has to be equally insurmountable. Basketball has Wilt Chamberlain’s 100point game. Football? The 2,104yard rushing season of Eric Dickerson. But, the number of most significance in 2012 is 18 — the number of major golf championships won by the all-time leader, Jack Nicklaus. Tiger Woods — love him or hate him — is at 14 and will be gunning for No. 15 next week at the British Open in England. At the age of 36, Woods has more money than he’ll ever need.

He has 74 tournament titles, only eight short of the all-time record of 82 held by Sam Snead, so it’s almost a given he’ll eclipse that one. The 18 majors, though? To him, it’s a sacred number and the golf community is divided on whether Woods will get there. Since winning

three PGA tourneys this year (Bay Hill, the Memorial, and the AT&T), Woods’s fans are convinced Tiger is all the way back from his post-scandal slump and health woes. But, he blew a chance to win June’s U.S. Open after leading at the halfway mark and has two more ‘major’ chances this year (England next week and

the PGA in August) to get closer to Nicklaus’s magic 18. If Tiger gets close in the next couple of years, the whole world will be inundated with the importance of ‘18.’ It’s the perfect number for a golf record, right?

KTW file photo Brianna Powrie of the Kamloops Heat finds the back of the net with a header in women’s premier Pacific Coast Soccer League action earlier this season at Hillside Stadium.

The Kamloops Heat secured a playoff spot with a 4-2 win over Chilliwack FC in reserve men’s Pacific Coast Soccer League play at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, July 8. Jacob Kaay (2), Avnil Deo and Kyle Fertile tallied for the Heat, who went with Allan Connor between the pipes. The Heat travel to

Vancouver Island this weekend for matches with Victoria United and the Mid Isle Highlanders. Kamloops, which has three games remaining, sits atop the table with six wins, three ties and no losses.

Heat women win one, lose one The Kamloops Heat split a pair of women’s

premier Pacific Coast Soccer League games on the weekend. Rebecca Williams, Heather Lloyd (2) and Taylor Miller scored goals in the Heat’s 4-0 win over the hometown North Vancouver Eagles on Sunday, July 8. Kamloops fell 4-2 to the Fraser Valley Action on Saturday, July 7, in Langley. Miller and Amanda

Responsive, Reliable, Professional Richard Hebda may have never seen the Jurassic Park movies but he knows a lot about the era — and most other prehistoric times — as curator of botany and earth history at the Royal B.C. Museum, which has mounted a new exhibit, Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries.

Museum recreates prehistoric times By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

He may not be familiar with Dr. Grant from the movie Jurassic Park, but Royal B.C. Museum curator of botany and earth history Richard Hebda still knows his dinosaurs. And, he knows that, although the River city missed out on dinos by a few million years, it is home to interesting and important fossils. Kamloops is best known for fossils from the Eocene age, which date back about 50 million years, Hebda said. He specified the McAbee beds near Cache Creek as a familiar and rich fossil jackpot. The ancient fresh-water lake beds there have many well preserved fossils of ancient fish, birds, plants and especially insects. “Probably the best insect site in the entire world of that age,” said Hebda.

The McAbee beds are the best sites, but nearby sites in the Tranquille area, Falkland and Okanagan highlands also contain some scattered remains of fossils, such as various plant material and fish, said Hebda. He said dinosaur fossils have been found in the Tumbler Ridge and Peace River areas of northeastern B.C. and in southeastern B.C. “In B.C., we have dinosaurs but not in the Kamloops area,” said Hebda, noting the fossil beds here are just not old enough to contain dinosaurs. “But, in the past decade, we’ve discovered them in north central B.C., in a whole new dinosaur area, where just a few first signs have been found.” He said they were found a few hundred kilometres north of Terrace and a tailbone was recently discovered on Vancouver Island for the first time. That bone would have belonged to an ostrich-looking

type of dinosaur, said Hebda. Albertans used to visit B.C. even in prehistoric days. Hebda pointed out Albertasaurus lived in northeastern B.C. along with others like the duck-billed dinosaurs. The museum, which has a new exhibit, Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, running to Sept. 16, does have some fossils from the Kamloops area but none are featured in the show. “So, if people come and see the exhibit, they’ll learn how we interpret and understand fossils and that’ll give them a much deeper understanding of the fossils of the Kamloops area and why they’re important,” said Hebda. Though the fossils from Kamloops may not be of dinosaurs, Hebda said there are still many important things to learn from them about the prehistoric age. X See BIRDS B3

Birds have dino roots X From B2

“The Kamloops fossils are so important that they are advancing our world understanding of ancient life, so they may be small but they’re just as important as dinosaurs.” At the exhibit, people can see what a dinosaur’s environment looked like, as there is an area depicting what is now the northeastern Chinese province of Liaoning. This area, like in Kamloops, has many well-preserved fossils. Hebda said a variety of plants and animals have been found there, including some well-preserved fossils of feathered dinosaurs. Some are so well preserved it’s even possible to figure out what colour the animal was.

“The preservation has been so fabulous in these beds in China and all these discoveries have been made, basically, most of them, in the last 10 or 15 years, that we now know that birds are dinosaurs,” said Hebda. Hebda said the connection was known before, but not the extent it is now. He said birds today come from a lineage of avian dinosaurs. “So, when you look up at an eagle, that’s a dinosaur. If you look at a hummingbird, that’s a dinosaur.” The exhibit explains a lot about how dinosaur skeletons can be used to understand the behaviour and movement of dinosaurs, said Hebda. Visitors will also get to see things like a model of how tyrannosaurus moved — as well as a life-sized

cast of the beast — a chrome skeleton of apatosaurus, a section devoted to dinosaur tracks and even a hall filled with casts of horn-faced dinosaur skulls like triceratops. “It’s kind of like an up-country hunting lodge with the heads all lined up on the wall, except they’re massive,” said Hebda. At the end of the exhibit is a section explaining why the dinosaurs died out. Spoiler alert — it wasn’t just an asteroid. Hebda said there were a variety of climate-changing factors which combined with the big space rock to create a recipe for the extinction of many prehistoric animals. More information on the exhibit can be found online at royalbcmuseum.bc.ca. The museum is at 675 Belleville St. in

Victoria and can be reached by phone at reet1-888-447-7977 or by email to reception@royalbcmuseum. bc.ca. Tickets to the museum are $21.60 for adults, $15.75 for students with identification, youth and seniors, free for those younger than five and $61.75 for a family. There is a separate ticket price for the IMAX film at the museum and another rate for combining the film and the museum exhibitions.

Costner concert kicks off summer

Free

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sun Peaks built it — an outdoor stage — and they came by the thousands to hear Kevin Costner and Modern West perform. Granted, the audience was predominantly female, something Costner remarked on early in his 90-minute performance on Saturday, July 7 — reminding the men “who got dragged up here that it’s free.” Kamloops musicians were well represented during the day-long event, with Tall Weeds opening, followed by Margit Bull and Sweetgrass. Paul Filek was the last to perform before Costner and his band arrived, casually walking from the Delta Sun Peaks, posing for photographs, signing autgraphs and generally enjoying the day. In fact, he told the crowd perched on the hill he felt at ease at Sun Peaks because it reminded him of his home in Aspen. Earlier, Costner, guitarist John Coinman and drummer Larry Cobb hit the driving range for a while again taking their time and interacting with the crowd that gathered. Lauren Pilszek was invited up on stage at one point to perform

a rap number she had written for the show. Her creativity won her a prize offered by concert sponsor Country 103 — a chance to perform and an overnight stay at the resort. Donna Meek, a volunteer at the concert, said in the six years she’s been at Sun Peaks, “this is the best thing that’s ever happened.” Businesses were also delighted with the day. Virtually every hotel room was booked, all

the mountain bikes were rented and there were lineups at restaurants. The concert kicked off a series of musical

events at Sun Peaks this summer, including a retro weekened in August and another outdoor concert on Sept. 1 with Matthew Good.

Ford ﬁnally Focuses in on Canada ROB BEINTEMA First DRIVE

HEY CALL IT “STEALING THE LIMELIGHT.” Which pretty well describes what happened when Ford Canada introduced the new 2013 Ford Focus ST at a recent Mustang event. Mustangs, new Boss 302 models, even Shelby GT500s were waiting in pit lane for high-speed lapping at Calabogie Motorpark — and, there I stood with my back to the track, distracted in the parking lot and strolling circles around the new Focus ST. Blame it on the tangerine scream tri-coat colour of this new hot hatchback from Ford. Blame it on the hunkered down, lowered stance, the gapemouthed grille and angular lines, all of the boy racer-styling cues from LED-topped HID headlamps up front to the big spoiler and funky centred dual exhaust in back. And, blame it on the promise of a 252 horsepower turbocharged EcoBoost engine with overboost, mated to a six-speed manual tranny, putting power to the road through big 18-inch “Y”-spoked wheels. This is a first for Canada and the U.S.

Europe has had ST versions of the Focus since 2005 and Canadian journalists have been whining about it ever since. When Ford decided to produce a truly global Focus a few years ago, it blended the creative efforts of North America’s SVT team with Europe’s RS designers into a new Ford Global Performance Vehicles group, bringing the Sport Technologies

(ST) badge to customers worldwide for the first time. The 2013 Focus ST comes to Canada in a five-door hatchback layout. Europe gets a wagon as well, so prepare for a little more whining — especially from our Quebec counterparts. But, there won’t be any crying about engine power. The ST harnesses a 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost

four-cylinder, a turbocharged motor originally designed to boost both power and fuel efficiency. This is really its debut as a high-performance mill and, making 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, this latest model offers almost twice the power of the original ST. The engine includes an overboost feature. When the driver needs an extra burst

of acceleration, say to complete a pass, the ST engine can automatically spin the turbocharger to even higher r.p.m.s for up to 15 seconds at time. The result is up to 7.4 per cent more output in the heart of the torque curve between 3,000 to 4,500 r.p.m. It’s sort of like hitting the turbo-boost button in a video racing game — but, for real. Stab the starter and the engine erupts with

a delightfully wicked snarl. The previous-generation European Focus ST was acclaimed for its unique five-cylinder engine sound, so Ford sound engineers worked hard to build in the same kind or robust tone from this new four-cylinder model. Part of this process is the reworking of the famed sound symposer, first found on the previous Focus ST and subsequently employed

on European Focus RS and RS500 models. Half the fun of driving this car is the interplay of sound from front and back — the constant moan from the centred hexagonal dual exhausts countered by the grittier snarls from under the hood. That duet puts a smile on your face whether you’re cruising slowly through town or blasting down a straightaway. X See FOCUS B7

AUTOMARKET SUMMER SMASH! Focus full of power EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

X From B6

Third gear will take you up in the vicinity of 150 k/ph, the kind of speed to make local Smokies swoon but, no officer, I am not prepared to swear to that statement. To give you an idea of the car’s character, it will cruise quite sedately at about 2,500 r.p.m. at highway speed. Each downshift will bump the engine spin up by 500 r.p.m. segments, with a bigger jump in third gear, up to about 4,500 r.p.m. And, that worked out to be the sweet spot for me, downshifting

Ford has not determined fuel economy ratings with this engine configuration yet and the ST comes mated only to a six-speed manual Durashift transmission. If you are bothered by either of those factors, you are shopping in the wrong Focus aisle, buddy. Ford was not about to subject two rare preproduction models to the tender mercies of hooligan journalists on a racetrack but I managed to snag the tangerine-scream version for a run through the quiet country highways around Calabogie. First gear gets you rolling quickly and you are up to highway speed by the time you hit the limits of second. I might wish for shorter throws but the stick shift sweetly enough through the cogs.

Local, Buy Local! Westsyde Apiaries

Westsyde Apiaries was established in 1975 and quickly became a hobby that grew into a “honey of a business.” With no prior beekeeping experience, Ian Farber had just moved to Kamloops and then decided to become a beekeeper. After a short series of evening lessons at the local bee course Ian was on his way the next spring with two beehives. Always a Westsyde resident, the name Westsyde Apiaries seemed a natural fit. By 1987, the number of hives increased to the point that Westsyde Apiaries could sell at the retail level and Coopers’ Westsyde store was the logical place. Coopers Foods readily took the product line and placed it on the shelf. Now in all four Coopers’ stores, Westsyde Apiaries is proud to be celebrating a 25 year relationship with Coopers’ food stores. “Cooper people” do care about local small businesses!
