Keeping their cool in Kamloops By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE CALL COMES IN FROM WESTSYDE. A 78-year-old man collapsed during breakfast and isn’t breathing. His son is on the line. On one of four computer monitors in front of me, I’ve logged the man’s address and the phone number. A second monitor offers a series of prompts to get more details. “Place your hand on
his forehead, your other hand under his neck, then tilt the head back. Put your ear next to his mouth,” I tell the caller in what I’m hoping is a reassuring tone. I wait a few seconds, trying to picture him following the steps, making sure he’s had time to complete them. “Can you feel or hear any breathing?” “No,” he replies. I click the appropriate buttons on the computer. Time to teach him how to do chest compressions — 600 of them to start.
video-online] www.kamloopsthisweek.com If an ambulance hasn’t reached him by the end of those, we’ll move to full-on CPR. I am a bit nervous, a little trickle of adrenaline keeping my hands moving restlessly, making me fidget with the computer mouse as we go through the steps.
I can only imagine what it would be like if any of this was actually real. Place a 911 call for ambulance service in B.C. — whether you’re in Haida Gwaii, Fort Nelson or downtown Kamloops — and you’ll be routed to one of three
BC Ambulance dispatchoperations centres. “BC Ambulance, what’s your emergency?” the man or woman on the other end of the line will ask. Depending on a variety of factors — the severity of the situation, the remoteness of your location, your own level of panic — the call can last a couple minutes or more than two hours. In Kamloops, 48 emergency medical dispatchers (EMDs) keep the centre staffed 24 hours a day. X See DISPATCHERS A10

Polish mining firm KGHM International has officially taken the reigns of the Ajax mine project planned for south of Aberdeen. Until now, Vancouver-based Abacus Mining and Exploration has been the operator of the proposed copper and gold mining project. But, when KGHM increased its stake in the project to 80 per cent from 51 per cent in April via a $30-million payment to Abacus, it gained the right to either become or appoint the project’s operator. According to the company, the change will take effect on Saturday, Sept. 1. Under the agreement, KGHM will also appoint another member to the KGHM Ajax board, which now has two members from each company. The two companies have also selected a new management team for the project. Abacus CEO Jim Excell will step into the CFO position, while KGHM International’s chief project officer Mark Blakely will become COO.

The proposed mine has an expected life of 23 years, with a production capacity of approximately 60,000 tonnes of mineral ore per day. If approved, the mine is expected to produce 109 million pounds of copper and 99,000 ounces of gold annually over its 23-year life, with 350 full-time jobs anticipated. Pending approval, construction at the mine site — which is about 2.5 kilometres from the upper reaches of Aberdeen homes — would begin in early 2013, with copper production set to begin in early 2015. The Ajax proposal is being reviewed under the federal Environmental Assessment Act and the provincial Environmental Assessment Act. Public concerns are many and include dust, noise, reverberations from blasting, increased truck traffic, pollution from the chemical make-up in the dust, property values and impact on the water table in Aberdeen.

A 25-year-old Kamloops man who stabbed a romantic rival to death in an Aberdeen gas station nearly seven years ago has been granted day parole. Stephen Patrick Roe was convicted of manslaughter in for the 2006 slaying of David Holditch. On Feb. 21, 2006, Roe armed himself with an eight-inch hunting knife and set off for the Aberdeen Esso after coming across a series of flirtatious Internet messages between his girlfriend, Kyla Regnier, and Holditch, who worked at Rogers Way gas station. Roe attacked Holditch — Regnier’s ex-boyfriend — and stabbed him six times, including once in the heart. The 18-year-old died on the floor of the Esso convenience store.
Convicted of second-degree murder in 2007, Roe successfully appealed and was granted a new trial. He was found guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter in January 2010. Following that conviction, Roe was handed a sentence of nine years in federal prison. With credit for time served, the sentence worked out to just shy of six years. The Parole Board of Canada (PBC) noted in its decision to release Roe on day parole that he has no other criminal history and that Holditch’s death has been his only contact with the criminal-justice system. The day-parole term will cover six months. In its decision, the PBC expressed concerns about Roe’s conduct
Conditions of Roe’s release include orders he not leave the country, not possess any weapons and notify parole officers
about any change in work, education or any relationships. His sentence will not end until 2015.

Gas-station killer granted day parole
while in custody, including two violent incidents. First, while on remand in a provincial jail, Roe was involved with several other inmates in an assault against another offender. Later, in federal custody, the PBC states Roe took part in a “major incident� involving cells being set on fire. He is also alleged to have been in possession of a “spearlike weapon� at the time of the incident. Last year, investigators found a home-made computer in Roe’s cell. It was determined he had assembled the computer while on bail and had it shipped to the prison. The computer had Internet capabilities, according to the PBC, and Roe used it to access email and download pornography. That discovery resulted in Roe spending two months in segregation. A psychological assessment earlier this year pegged Roe as a low to moderate risk to re-offend.

Lindsay, province could face lawsuit from blinding The family of the man left blind in one eye after a fight with admitted killer Mark Lindsay last fall at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre appears to be preparing to file a lawsuit against the provincial government — and, potentially, Lindsay himself. A Kelowna-based civil lawyer
attended Lindsay’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops last week, taking notes of testimony from Lindsay, a corrections officer, a Kamloops Mountie and the victim, Michel Fougere. Keri Grenier told KTW she couldn’t discuss specifics, but said “there are possibilities” as
far as civil proceedings go. Fougere claimed in court to have waited between five and 10 minutes for help after pushing an emergency-call button inside his cell during Lindsay’s attack. A corrections officer, meanwhile, said he responded within 30 seconds.

District back to education priorities By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

When students return to Kamloops-Thompson school district classrooms next week, the routine will likely be a lot more normal than it was at the start of the 2011-2012 school year. “Last year, our focus for the year was basically labour-relations issues,” school-district superintendent Terry Sullivan told KTW. “This year, there’s a collective agreement that’s in place and, hopefully, that will bring with it

Request for Expression of Interest (NON-BINDING PROCESS)
DOWNTOWN PARKING SOLUTIONS The City of Kamloops invites submissions for a Downtown Parking Solutions Expression of Interest. Since it is an expression of interest, the process is intended to be informal and will serve as a means of determining interests and available parking options. All options submitted will be explored.
A school on the slopes? The Kamloops-Thompson school district was expected to decide last night (Aug. 27) whether to operate a school this year in Sun Peaks. The meeting took place after KTW press deadline, but the decision will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. According to school-district figures, a Sun Peaks school in 2012-2013 would house 41 students — nine kids in full-day kindergarten, 22 pupils in grades 1 to 3 and 10 students in grades 4 to 7. That would likely require two teachers. One would handle kindergarten and Grade 1, while the other would take grades 2 to 5 (there are no projected Sun Peaks students in grades 6 or 7). School-district superintendent Terry Sullivan said negotiations have been ongoing throughout between the district and Sun Peaks. If a school was to be open and in operation in the mountain resort the day after Labour Day (when classes begin), it wouldn’t create any problems for the district. “We’re ready for any eventuality,” Sullivan said. “If the board determines it wants to proceed, we have processes in place for it to proceed.”
This non-binding process will determine increased parking availability that may include new off-street parking spaces or vacant existing spaces for purchase or lease on a long-term basis. Recent studies have indicated a need for approximately 200 spaces. This EOI hopes to identify short term and long term options available through the private sector to address the current parking stall shortfall. Responses must be submitted by 2:00 pm on Friday, September 21, 2012. For complete details or to download the EOI visit www.kamloops.ca.

Too many health-care workers immunized against knowledge
I
T WAS WHILE HAVING lunch at a downtown Kamloops restaurant about five years ago that I noticed it, out of the corner of my eye. A few tables away sat two men and a woman, all of whom had their jackets hanging on the backs of their chairs. One man, however, had something additional dangling from the chairback — a stethoscope, its white rubber tarnished amid its gleaming metal. I assumed the owner of the stethoscope was a doctor. I also assumed he thought it made him look important — to have that iconic image of medicine draped over the shoulder of his blazer. What he was, in fact, was an idiot who may have infected those at the tables around him. He may as well have brought petri dishes full of bacteria and viruses into the restaurant and injected the contents into the noses of fellow diners. Dr. Stethoscope came to mind with news B.C. has become the first province to require health-care workers — including doctors and nurses — be immunized or wear masks while tending to patients during flu season. The only way this policy could have been improved would be to dispense with the masks and make vaccinations among health-care workers mandatory, as it is in dozens of hospitals throughout the United States. As it stands now, the policy allows health-care workers (and Interior Health Authority staff, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors) who come into contact with patients at publicly funded facilities or in the community to wear a mask during flu season

MUSINGS — if they have not been vaccinated. (The mask is fine during flu season, though will not be good enough during a flu outbreak, according to senior public-health officer Laura Neufeld. During an outbreak, health-care workers not vaccinated may be ordered to go home without pay as the risk of infecting patients is so much higher during an outbreak). The obvious question would be: Why are they not vaccinated? They are health-care workers. They know (or should know) vaccination can be effective during flu season. They know (or should know) vaccinations are perfectly safe, despite the various claims from some that they got the flu after receiving the shot. They didn’t and can’t as it is impossible to get the flu from the shot as it is composed of dead flu virus. They know (or should know) the flu causes more deaths in Canada than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. The fact the vaccination rate among those who work with patients in B.C. is historically less than 50 per cent (according to the provincial health offi-
cer) points to an utter lack of education among health-care workers. That lack of education, and not mandatory immunization measures, is what the B.C. Nurses’ Union is pointing to in its concern about the policy. Margaret Dhillon, a BCNU executive councillor, told me the union would prefer increasing immunization rates through targeted education, as was planned via a joint working group with health authorities during the H1N1 epidemic of three years ago. But, as Dhillon noted, the working group has not met for more than a year. Still, why are vaccination rates among health-care workers so abysmally low? Why would a nurse, a care-aide or a doctor think twice about not being vaccinated when they know (or should know) that foregoing vaccination can mean, literally, death to some with whom they come into contact if they, the health-care worker, has influenza? “There are people in all areas of life, with or without a medical background, who have different perspectives,” Dhillon said. Perhaps, but it would seem to make sense that vaccination be a pre-requisite for anybody who wishes to work with people with fragile immune systems. There may be reasons relating to culture or religion for refusing to get vaccinated and that is well within a person’s right. However, nobody has the right to endanger another in the workplace. A health-care worker should have the right to not be vaccinated — just as the health authorities should have a right to not employ those who decide against vaccination. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
It was 17 years ago, but for those from the Kamloops region who travelled to Montreal in an effort to keep Canada together, it must seem like yesterday. It was on the eve of the 1995 sovereignty referendum in Quebec that Montreal filled with federalists from coast-to-coast, hoping to convince uncertain Quebecers to vote “no” to secession. In the end, Quebec residents voted by the slimmest of margins (50.58 per cent to 49.42 per cent) to remain part of Canada, much to the relief of many. Today, there is yet another sovereignty call as Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois is vowing to undertake a plethora of measures as her separatist party seeks to win a majority in the Sept. 4 election. But, due obviously to the intensely controversial aspect of many of the PQ’s policies, Marois was forced to amend two of her party’s platform planks immediately after reiterating those policies. The PQ’s policy calls for a sovereignty referendum to be held if at least 15 per cent of Quebecers demand a vote. Marois, however, tempered that party policy, claiming the National Assembly (Quebec’s legislature) would have the final say, thus attempting to appease non-separatists or soft separatists who may not wish to vote for the Liberals or the Coalition Avenir Quebec. Marois also declared that, under a PQ government, anglophones and allophones would be ineligible to run for public office unless they spoke French. That declaration was quickly amended to apply only to new immigrants. With such radical, back-to-the1990s views, which Marois is a Quebecer to trust — the leader who puts forth hardcore separatist policies or the leader who puts forth hardcore separatist policies, samples the response and returns with slightly watered-down hardcore separatist policy? Here’s hoping our fellow Canadians in Quebec will embrace Jean Charest’s Liberals and Francois Legault’s Coalition, while rejecting the tiresome separatist politics of fear as practised by Marois.

Editor: According to recent analysis, in order to accurately reflect the cost of driving an automobile in Canada, gasoline prices would need to increase by about 50 cents a litre. The gap between the actual cost of building and maintaining roads and what we pay at the pump is filled through general tax revenues through all levels of government. With the average Canadian driver using about 2,000 litres of fuel each year, that means all Canadians, whether they drive or not, are subsidizing every automobile on the road by about $1,000 a year. For the folks who insist on driving, I welcome them to pay an extra $1,000 a year for fuel so I can stop subsidizing their transportation habits. By comparison, I would gladly pay $300 a year more in property taxes for improved public-transit services. Some folks claim our transit system doesn’t service their neighbourhood well enough to utilize but, if there was an influx of transit revenue, the system could better serve neighbourhoods by increasing the frequency of runs and covering more area. Included in that recent analysis was the fact people who utilize public transit can actually get more done because they are free to use their various hand-held devices, or read, instead of being occupied with driving during their commute. And, of course, there’s the fact the automobile is the one of the greatest contributors to greenhouse gases. Our continued persistence on using them as much as we like is not only costly to every member of our society, it’s costly to every member of the world community facing the real affects of global warming.

Life along Ord Road a mess of trucks, buses and long waits Editor: People living on or just off Ord Road on the North Shore can only throw up their hands in dismay. After two years of suffering through rock blasting, mega truckloads of silt and dust transported back and forth endlessly, the accompanying noise and the stench of asphalting, the bus terminal is finally finished. Now, in addition to all those buses
spewing out half-burnt smelly diesel through their stacks as they come and go, we are cursed with Ord Road being a designated truck route. Double-pup trucks of gasoline, wood chips and other industrial cargo can barely pull their weight up to the lights (and end up using use one full light change to make their turns onto Eighth Street). Thank you so much, city hall! We’ll remember this one.
As compensation for Ord Road sufferers, please consider extending the trafficlight time so at least one other vehicle can make its turn. And, for the sake of road safety, perhaps a bit of asphalt could be expended to widen Ord Road to accommodate bikers who are now being blown off the road by these huge transport vehicles. S.L.

COVER PAGE STORY
For dispatchers, no day is ever the same X From A1
However, with call volumes on the rise around the province and a number of local EMDs looking to retire, the program wants to hire and train 10 new EMD candidates. Today, as I hunch behind my computer monitors in the local training centre, I’m getting a glimpse of what’s in store for them. “What we’re going to do here in the next half an hour takes upwards of about four months,” says Ryan Jones, an EMD and my coach for the morning. Out of what I can only assume is pity, the 911 training calls Jones feeds me are generally easy — a man who tweaked his hip falling over a wheelbarrow in his backyard. A guy with minor stomach pain after dinner. Only the Westsyde call shows up on the screen in bright red, highest-priority letters. In each case, there are specific steps to follow. Addresses and phone numbers need to be taken and double-checked. Are you at a house, an apartment or a business? (Or, in my case, “is it a house, a residence or an, uh — wait.”) If it’s an apartment,
KTW reporter Andrea Klassen gets an up-closeand-personal experience being a BC Ambulance dispatcher. The service is looking to hire 10 dispatchers in Kamloops as retirements create openings. Dave Eagles/KTW
will we need an entry code? Which unit? From there, the dispatching program moves us on to more specifics. What happened? How many people? How old are they? Different symptoms prompt different sets of responses. Theoretically, the program could walk me through delivery of a baby as easily as it walked me through the first steps of CPR (two things at which I am equally unskilled). Those involved in real emergencies may be relieved, however, that real EMDs get months of classroom and practical training and need CPR and first-aid training just to apply for a position. In Jones’ case, there were also years of experience on the other side of dispatch operations.
Originally a paramedic, a back injury brought him off the streets and behind the monitors. While he’s no longer attending the emergencies himself, he says the two jobs have one thing in common — a big part of the work is cutting through the panic. “You get the original call as a 911 call taker and it’s anxiety on the phone,” he says. “At the car accident or a drowning, it’s just absolute chaos and you come in and you take a deep breath and you do a stepby-step approach.” While my fake callers are cool and collected, or slightly embarrassed (the wheelbarrow guy, in particular), calming down callers is often part of Jones’ job. “We’re the calm, reassuring voice. And, some-
times, when somebody calls in, they’re obviously very nervous, upset, scared and it takes a little bit of coaxing to get them to calm down and relax,” he says. “Just make it personal. Say, ‘What’s your name? I’m Ryan and I’m going to help you. You need to calm down so we can help dad.’” Giving callers something to do, whether it’s chest compressions or making sure the front door gets unlocked before paramedics arrive, helps with that. Those early instructions also save lives, says Gordon Kirk, a dispatch superintendent for B.C Ambulance. That’s especially true in remote communities, where help may have to navigate the back country or drive an hour to get to a scene.
“They get to go home and be with their families. They don’t have extended stays in the hospital because of the work the men and women in the dispatch centres do,” Kirk says. There’s another side to the job. While one EMD takes a call, others are dispatching ambulances, firefighters or other emergency personnel to the scene of the incident. A single 911 call can result in more than a dozen others — to search and rescue teams, to deploy a helicopter team, to alert a hospital that it’s going to need to free up some critical-care beds and prepare staff.
“The dispatchers have to be so quick at thinking,” says Kirk. Depending on the situation, the list of questions is almost overwhelming. Can a helicopter get in and out of a site before nightfall or bad weather? Will an ambulance headed to the Lower Mainland hit the right connecting ferry? The answers could change from yes to no with an extra 10 minutes of hesitation. “I didn’t realize — and I think that’s what the street paramedics don’t always see — what goes on in the background,” says Jones. “You get one call and you go to this call, but there’s been six or seven calls placed in regards to this one call.” Requirements to become an EMD include CPR certification, a level two occupational first-aid certificate (at minimum), basic typing skills and
the ability to multi-task. While it’s not explicitly stated in the job requirements, Jones points out caring and compassion is helpful, too. “It’s a willingness and a wanting to help. I got into the ambulance services because I didn’t know how to do first-aid once and I didn’t ever want to be in that situation again,” he says. Though he now helps via phone and computer, Jones has found the job far more interesting than he expected when he made the switch. “It’s fast-paced, it’s busy, it’s multi-tasking,” he said. “There’s days where it’s absolute chaos because the whole province is busy and there’s days where it’s nice, calm and cool and it’s nice and relaxed — and it can change in the blink of an eye. And, no day’s ever the same.”

LOCAL NEWS Linda Watt’s home at 356 McGowan Ave. in North Kamloops has fallen into disrepair since a fire damaged the building in 2008, rendering it uninhabitable. While city council has imposed a 30-day deadline for Watt to submit a professional report on what work is needed on the property, she argued she is doing work on the property, but has been hampered by health issues.

Homeowner disputes city’s tale By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The owner of a home declared a nuisance by Kamloops city council said information released about her situation and her property isn’t accurate. Lynda Watt, who owns the property at 356 McGowan Ave. in North Kamloops, said much of the information in a report from the city’s property-inspection department that went to council last week is wrong or based on outdated statements. “We spend at least 20 hours a week there cleaning. “We have filled 11 Go Boxes worth of stuff and thrown out at least 11 Go Boxes worth of stuff,” Watt told KTW. She said she’s already spent money on new windows for the property, which are due to be installed this fall. Watt said she didn’t learn the city was planning to take action against her until
she heard about it in the news. Mail from the city is still going to the house, which has sat empty since a fire in 2008, and the notice didn’t reach Watt before council made its decision on Aug. 21. “That’s really efficient. That’s really giving me a chance,” she said. Watt expects to receive money from a family estate in the near future to complete repairs, but not for a few more months — after the 30-day deadline the city has given her for submitting a professional report on what work is needed on the property. Marvin Kwiatkowski, the city’s director of development and engineering, has estimated the report will cost about $5,000. “It’s a shame that this is happening when I’m so close to getting the funds to fix this up,” Watt said, adding she feels like she has been bullied by the city and
neighbouring property owners. “None of my neighbours have helped me,” she said. “They have watched as I pull a freezer, a hide-a-bed, big mattresses onto trucks. “And, they have stood around watching.” Watt said work on the property has been going slowly because she’s dealing with health issues, including cancer, and because her family was homeless for a period following the house fire that first led to the property being declared uninhabitable. But, she said, work has continued. Watt is thinking of starting a counterpetition, collecting support from those in the McGowan Avenue area who have supported her during the past four years. “They don’t see the house as a problem,” she said. “They see me working.”
September to bring more transit hours As of Sunday, Sept. 2, conventional bus service in Kamloops will increase by 5,500 hours and handyDART service will grow by 2,000 hours. Those service-hour increases come with two more 40-foot buses and an additional custom transit vehicle. The added conventional transit hours
will be used to improve Monday through Saturday evening service and all-day Sunday service with greater frequency and longer hours on routes 1 (Tranquille), 2 (Parkcrest) and 9 (Gleneagles). More daily trips have been included on routes 10 (TRU/North Shore Express), 14 (Batchelor) and 16 (Juniper Ridge).
The extra handyDART hours will see service expanded from the current last trip at 8 p.m. to a final run at 10 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Kamloops recorded more than 3.6-million transit users in the 2011-2012 fiscal year, a four per cent increase over the previous year.

Prolific offender arrested in attempted thefts from cars A 27-year-old prolific offender known for drug and property offences, including theft from vehicles, found himself behind bars again as the week began. He was set to appear in court on Monday, Aug. 27, facing charges of theft and possession of stolen property. His name cannot be published until charges are formally sworn. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Grant Learned said Mounties are recommending he remain in custody due to his history of failing to attend court and comply with probation and court orders. Police were alerted to the break-ins just after 3 a.m. on Monday by a witness who saw a man trying to break
POLICE BEAT into parked cars at the Accent Inn near Columbia Street and Notre Dame Drive. Learned said the witness yelled at the prowler, who ran and got into a cab. A motel security officer was called and followed the cab to the Ramada Inn on West Columbia Street, where the suspect was seen walking into the covered parking lot. Shortly thereafter, police found a man known for property and drug offences walking on Pemberton Terrance. His clothing matched the description from the witness.
They arrested and searched the man. The backpack he was carrying contained items including a GPS system, sunglasses, car cellphone chargers, a screwdriver, a guitar amp and various vehicle accessories. Learned said investigators searched vehicles in the lots where the suspect had been spotted and have linked at least one car owner to the stolen property.
He said police anticipate more victims will surface.
Yew Street fire A suspicious fire has left one vehicle destroyed and another damaged in the parking lot of the Colonial Arms apartment on Yew Street in North Kamloops. The fire occurred at about 3:45 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 27, and was close to the apartment building.
However, said Learned, the building was not damaged. A 1990 Ford Bronco was the primary target, while the vehicle beside it — a 2004 Chrysler Sebring — was damaged by the fire’s heat. Both vehicles belong to the landlord of the apartment complex. Kamloops firefighters extinguished the blaze and Mounties found a witness from the apartment building,
who reported hearing someone banging on the landlord’s door, notifying her of the fire. The witness went outside and saw the burning vehicle, along with a 1990s-era, twotoned red and maroon station wagon with grey paneling on the bottom. It was parked in the nearby Salvation Army parking lot with its lights off and drove away — heading north
on Tranquille Road — when residents began to come out of the apartment. Patrol officers were unable to find the station wagon. The RCMP and Kamloops Fire Rescue are working to find the origin of the vehicle fire, while Mounties are also trying to determine if there is anybody who may have been in conflict with the building’s landlord.

Running the gauntlet
Discovery Channel series takes a look at men who keep the Coquihalla Highway open By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
AMIE DAVIS SEES HIS JOB AS A PROMISE, ONE HE HAS MADE TO COUNTLESS PEOPLE HE MAY NEVER KNOW. And, truth be told, he would like to never know them. Davis runs a towing and rescue company that, when winter hits the Coquihalla Highway, is on-duty 24/7 — and often finds himself and his crews working those kind of endless, freezing, mindnumbing hours when trucks travelling the route meet the kind of weather that
causes crashes. He’s also the focus of the eight-part series Highway Thru Hell, premiering on Tuesday Sept. 4, on Discovery Channel. His promise? Davis will keep the highway he calls a gauntlet open. The idea for the series, ironically, came from one of those calls Davis receives from drivers stranded or crashed on the highway, said series producer Mark Miller. One of the staffers Miller works with at Discovery Channel was moving from Edmonton to Vancouver. “He’s cheap,” Miller said with a laugh, “and he rented the cheapest moving truck
for you’,” Miller said — and he received a bag of 25 videotapes one of Davis’s crew had been recording during that previous half-year. The tapes show Davis and his crew battling some horrific wrecks in some of the worst weather in the province. As they’re doing it, they’re also coping with the pressure to get the highway open so the trucks — all key to the province’s economy — can get moving and deliver their loads. The two men share a hope from their partnership — and it’s not that people fear the Coquihalla.
he could get. And, of course, it broke down on the Coq.” A call to the Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue office saw the company owner’s son, Adam, come out on the call. Through conversation, Adam learned of the man’s employment at the channel. “‘You know [History Channel series] Ice Road Truckers?’ Adam said to him. ‘Well this is the real Ice Road Truckers. “It took me six months to work up the courage to walk into Jamie’s compound,” Miller said. When he did, he was greeted not with surprise but with expectation. “Jamie said to me ‘We’ve been waiting

Here come the 1980s again GREAT By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
Langley-based Tighty Whiteys are at the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge on Thursday, Aug. 30.
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
“We are an ‘80s dance cover band.” A what? Excuse me? Yeah, that’s exactly what the Tighty Whiteys are — and they’re damn proud of it. “We say we’re an ‘80s dance cover band and people don’t know what to think,” said Scott Findlay, who sings, keeps the beat and mashes keyboard for the Langley-based group. “That’s the great part about our band and, for the most part, we knock people’s socks off.” The Whiteys — Findlay, guitarist Eddy du Crocq and lead vocalist Mike Wingelman, also adept on the keys — are set to play the Commodore Grand Café and Lounge on Thursday, Aug. 30. They’re expected to saunter onstage at about 8 p.m. Dancing With Myself, Billy Idol; Safety Dance, Men Without Hats; I Come From a Land Down Under, Men at Work; Fantasy, Aldo Nova; Holiday, Madonna; and Whip it Good, Devo — those are some of the tracks Commodore-goers can expect to hear. “We’re all children
AT
DATE NIGHT
ENTER TO WIN A CHEF’S TABLE FOUR COURSE MEAL FOR 2 of the ‘80s,” said Findlay, a father of two. “I grew up on people like Madonna and Men Without Hats — and there are no bands out there that do that stuff.
“With the pre-programmed drum, you really get that ‘80s feel, that Depeche Mode feel.” The show is part of the Have You Seen White Rabbits Night, a summer-closing bash featuring $4 Coors Light bottles. Everyone is encouraged to wear white — not a problem for the night’s aptly named
entertainment. This summer has been a coming-out party for the group, which hones its craft on Thursday nights in a tiny
room above Langley’s Buns Master Bakery — where there’s more than just bread baking, Findlay joked. The band recently played two Vancouver venues — Fortune Sound Club and Relish GastroPub and Bar. “The vibe was phenomenal,” Findlay said of last week’s Relish gig. “Everyone was in good cheer. There was free booze flowing.
“When there’s free booze flowing, the band always tends to sound a little bit better.” Findlay spoke to KTW the morning after the Relish show. “I’m pretty much on no sleep here,” he said. “It’s crazy difficult with our families. We brought our wives to the show last night and took the kids to a babysitter. “We know it’s a side-gig. We all have jobs. We all have lives. “But, for that few hours every week, you can just get away and have relief.” Those few hours this week will be spent on Victoria Street. “This summer’s been ridiculous,” Findlay said. “Now, we’re coming up to Kamloops to rock the Interior.”

Project to feature local children The Kamloops Arts Council will be producing a short documentary film, shot over the course of four years, that tracks the growth of a group of young artists between the ages of five and nine who attend the annual Children’s Art Festival in September. Kora Vanderlip, 15, is a young filmmaker who has already won many awards with her humorous and thoughtful short films. Kora will follow the group of young artists over the next four years, discussing what art means to them and observing the changes in their artistic expression over time. Filming will start in September and the completed work will premiere at the Kamloops Arts Council’s Children’s Art Festival in 2016. To get involved, download an application form at kamloopsarts.com/images/CAF_Film_ Project_application_form.pdf.
Interested children must alao attend an session on Thursday, Sept. 6, at 3 p.m. at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. For more information, email the council at info@kamloopsarts.com.

One goal: Trucks have got to move X From A13
“We don’t want to say the Coq is a terrible road,” Miller said. “but people need to use common sense. “We hope the series makes people think a little bit and maybe we can save a few lives.” Davis also sees it as a way to bust the stereotype of a towtruck driver. “I don’t think a lot of people realize what our industry really does,” he said, “and that there is a specialized area like this and a small group of people who do it.” Based in Hope, Davis said his business, which his father started, has evolved to handle just about any wreck it might encounter. That means some expensive, heavy equipment. Even then, not every day they get called out is a win for them, Davis said. They always get the trucks or cars out and off the road or, ideally, headed on their way, but sometimes it’s not pretty. “Wrecks are very clinical if
The equipment Jamie Davis and his crew use to keep the Coquihalla Higway open belie the traditional tow-truck image.
everything goes well,” Davis said, “but, there’s always the pressure to get the highway open. “We keep hearing ‘Can we go yet?’ It’s like having your kids in the car asking ‘Are we there yet?’” he said. Miller adds extracting wrecks isn’t predictable. “This isn’t like an assembly line. You don’t insert part A into Part C with widget G. It’s
often trucks that are bent and twisted in different positions.” The opening episode has a Kamloops-related moment that also shows the kind of pressure Davis and his crew can face. With a large, difficult accident blocking the northbound lanes and a lineup of waiting trucks that stretches for many kilometres, Davis is told one of the trucks has got
to get moving. It has a specialized heart machine destined for Royal Inland Hospital, where a patient is waiting for it to arrive to have a life-saving operation. Davis gets the truck moving even before he’s cleared the wreck. It’s a moment of Coquihalla reality many drivers might never even contemplate — and definitely never try to do. There’s another moment in the opening episode that is every parent’s nightmare and exposes yet another reality the people who are called out to accident scenes can face. While the series is scheduled for Canada’s Discovery Channel, Miller said he’s had inquiries about it from channels in Europe and Asia and is hopeful they’ll pick it up too. “If they do, people around the world are going to learn about this area and how beautiful it is,” Miller said. And, if they come visit in the winter, they’ll learn to prepare if they drive the Coq.

tained to less than four hectares in size through the work of more than 400 firefighting staff. Open burning continues to be prohibited throughout the Kamloops entre. The prohibition applies to open fires larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks and burning barrels. The open-burning prohibition covers all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest-fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Check with city hall for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs.

Good news for campers as the Labour Day long weekend approaches — the campfire ban in the Kamloops region has ended. It has been rescinded in the Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Merritt and Lillooet fire zones, but remains in effect in the Okanagan, including in the Vernon and Penticton fire zones. A map of the areas covered by the campfire ban is available online at bit.ly/SwU2V3. The partial rescinding is due to rain received on Thursday, Aug. 23, resulting in lower fire-danger ratings in those areas. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. Wildfire Management Branch personnel responded to 65 wildfires last week in the Kamloops Fire Centre, 92 per cent of which have been con-

Cadet trio now certified pilots What do three young men from Kamloops Air Cadet Squadron 204 Black Maria have in common? The three recently became Transport Canadacertified pilots. Ethan Bugden and Ryan Wallace spent seven weeks training at the Victoria Flying Club, where they earned private-pilots licences. Joel Kerfoot trained for six weeks at Canadian Forces Base Comox and earned a glider-pilot licence. A joint graduation ceremony was held at CFB Comox on Aug. 18 to honour the graduates of both the power-pilot and glider-pilot programs. Thirty-three young men and women from aircadet squadrons across B.C. received pilot licences and another t38 received glider-pilot licences. Kerfoot said the experience was unforgettable and he feels fortunate to have been chosen for the opportunity. Placing third overall in a test of skill, maturity, airmanship and self-discipline, he was awarded the Bruce Warren Memorial Trophy and given a cash bursary to continue his flying. The award commemorates Flight Lt. Bruce Warren, who died in the first-ever crash of a CF-100 fighter jet. The air-cadet program focuses on developing young men and women to achieve their best potential and become active and responsible members in the community. Throughout the year, they participate in a variety of fun and challenging activities including flying, biathlon, first-aid and supporting local charity and community events. Each summer, cadets have an opportunity to participate in a variety of camps including sports, survival training, marksmanship, leadership and aviation technology. Top senior cadets have the opportunity to participate in an international exchange or earn a pilot licence. These opportunities are provided free of charge. The 204 Black Maria Squadron meets every Monday between 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops on MacArthur Island. The program is free and open to youth between the ages of 12 and 18. The first meeting of the year is Monday, Sept, 10. New participants are always welcome.

Couple safe after storm capsizes boat By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
In an emergency situation that had a happy ending, Chase emergency personnel rescued two boys whose kayaks had overturned in Little Shuswap Lake in July. The boys were fine upon being pulled from the water. To date, 34 people have drowned in B.C. this summer, far more than died the same way last summer. The increased number of fatalities has prompted the BC Coroners Service to remind people to be careful in and around water.˜Cavelle Layes photo/Salmon Arm Observer
Drownings soar, caution urged The waters of B.C. have claimed 34 lives so far this summer— a 50 per cent increase in drowning deaths from 2011 (22 drownings) during the same July 1 to Aug. 21 timespan. In 2010, the number of drownings for the full two-month period was 24. Due to the spike in drownings, the BC Coroners Service is urging the public to be more careful when in and on water. The highest number of drownings — 14 — has occurred in the southern Interior region of the province, while nine people have died on Vancouver Island and five people have perished in northern B.C. Almost half the deaths — 15 —
occurred in lakes. Another 11 occurred in rivers, with six in the ocean and two in swimming pools. Of those who died, only five were female. One child under the age of 10 and one teenager were among the fatalities. In contrast, five of those who died were over the age of 70 and another six were in their sixties. Seven persons died while swimming and another seven died from falling into water unexpectedly. Others were boating, attempting to cliff-dive or rafting or tubing. There have been no scuba-diving deaths this summer.
jacket or personal flotation device (PFD). If you are suddenly thrown into cold and/ or rough water, it may often be impossible to find a PFD and put it on, even if you had one in the boat with you. Children, nonswimmers and weak swimmers should also wear a PFD when wading or playing in the water at a river or lakeside. • Always supervise children anywhere near water. Preschoolaged children can drown in only a few centimetres of water — and the drowning is often silent.
CORRECTION
Proper supervision for children of this age involves having them within arm’s length of a responsible adult.

A local couple was lucky to escape a harrowing ordeal on Kamloops Lake without serious injury. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Fran Bethel said the man and woman were sailing on the lake west of the Tournament Capital at about 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 23, when a large storm system rolled in, capsizing their boat. “The two hung onto the boat for a while, but eventually decided to swim to shore,” she said, noting both were wearing life-jackets. Cold and tired, the couple then walked along the tracks near Mission Flats Road and waved at a passing train. At about 8 p.m., Bethel said,
Mounties received a call from CP Rail about two people walking along the tracks wearing life-jackets. An officer found the couple sitting inside a car they had found unlocked, trying to keep warm. “The two were examined by paramedics, but didn’t need to go to the hospital,” Bethel said, noting the “scary adventure” should serve as a reminder for boaters in the Kamloops area. “The outcome of this incident could have been quite different had the two not had life-jackets.” According to the Canadian Red Cross, from 2001 to 2006, the number of boating-related fatalities was an average of 175 per year. Of these, deaths, 90 per cent of victims were not wearing a lifejacket.

Owner of crashed car pays visit to Kamloops Mounties By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com
The owner of a car that crashed into a utility pole on Aug. 19 has contacted Kamloops RCMP, who in turn have issued the man
a violation ticket for failure to remain at the scene of the crash. There will be no further police investigation unless the ticket is disputed. The registered owner of the 2005 Pontiac Sunfire, which was

to help the victim, but no one was inside the vehicle. Investigators arrived and noted both air bags had been deployed. There was a major indentation on the windshield behind the wheel, likely caused by

Big building projects the trend Complex, big-ticket construction projects are the trend in Kamloops for 2012, according to a mid-year report from the city’s development and engineering services department. Total construction value for the year is now over the $100-million mark, but director Marvin Kwiatkowski noted many of the city’s application numbers are below the 10-year average through the first half of 2012. Development variance and rezoning applications are both below average. Residential-construction numbers are also down this year, with 224 applications worth $44
ing replaced with a $25-million hotel. “It is indicative of the confidence that the development community currently has in Kamloops,” he added in the report. On the business side, however, Kamloops’ numbers are looking flatter this year. The total number of business licences in the city is slightly higher than this time last year, but new business starts are below both the city’s five-year average and 2011 numbers. This year, there were 375 new licences given out, compared to 421 last year.
million compared to 264 worth $56.5 million by this time last year. What’s pushed the city well ahead of its original $120-million target for construction in 2012 is commercial building, Kwiatkowski said. While the city has issued 90 permits this year compared to 97 at this time in 2011, the value of this year’s projects is more than double — $54 million compared to $24 million. Kwiatkowski said the “value of the projects to the community” is increasing, pointing to a rezoning for Hugh Allen Drive that will see a $4-million build-

The shocking truth about Ford’s electric Focus
I JIM ROBINSON First DRIVE
T’S TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP ABOUT ELECTRIC CARS. I admit I am a skeptic about pure electric cars as the road to the future. In certain circumstances, like dense inner-city environ-
ments — yes but, in the real world of regular daily commutes — no. Tested here is the 2012 Ford Focus electric or more properly BEV (battery electric vehicle), which is just like any other Focus except there is no engine, gas tank and
zero — and I mean zero — emissions. Outwardly, it is identical to a standard Focus and so is most of the standard equipment. Instead of an engine and gas tank, it has a 107-kW electric motor, a 23-kWh lithium-ion battery
and a 6.6-kW onboard charger. The battery is both heated and cooled to cope with weather extremes. Ford in Michigan makes the battery in partnership with LG Chem. Together, power is rated at 143 horsepower and 184 poundfeet of torque. Ford claims it has a range of up to 160 kilometres and top speed is 136 km/h, with a one-speed transmission driving the front wheels. It comes equipped with a special handheld, five-prong plug and a 10-foot electric cord with a grounded three-prong plug at the other end that goes into any standard 110volt outlet. Located on the left front fender, the charge port activates a light ring that illu-
minates the port twice when plugged in. Each quadrant represents 25 per cent of the maximum battery charge. Flashing quadrants represent charge in progress and solid-lit quadrants show stages of charge completion. The electric was delivered to my home on a flatbed truck, a rather dubious beginning to this road test, the rationale being it was fully charged and ready to go. The most obvious change inside for the driver is the main instrument cluster, with a depiction of the battery to the left of the centre speedo showing full at the top and empty at the bottom. As power is consumed, the level goes down and shows roughly how many kilometres remain,
The 2012 Ford Focus Electric comes with a 110-volt charging cord that plugs into any standard three-prong household outlet.
based on the way the car is being driven at the time. You can add kilometres by braking and, as I was to find out, by coasting downhill. The big issue with pure electric cars is “range anxiety,” which simply means do I have enough juice to make it to where I’m going or will I be stranded in the middle of a busy street or the middle of nowhere? The other issue is charge time. On a standard 110volt system, 12 hours or more is common. Ford does offer a 240-volt charging station that is claimed to lower the charge time to something like four hours but costs $1,599 and has to be installed by the geek squad from Best Buy. On my first trip around town, I covered 80.1 kilometres and used 12.7 kW. The display showed the battery down about 40 per cent. According to the supplementary readout, it was going to take 8.1 hours to recharge. Plugging in inside our garage at 8 p.m. to take advantage of off-peak power rates, the blue ring was out, showing it was fully charged when I went out to check at 8 a.m. the next day. X See RANGE A24

That was quite acceptable, as getting around town and having it ready to go the next day is probably the main use this car will see. But, what about going to the limit, ergo about 141 to 145 kilometres, as shown on the battery graphic when it is fully charged? The next day, I decided to go for it and drove north on primarily two-lane highways, averaging about 70 to 80 km/h, which was the rate of the flow of traffic. With 71 kilometres remaining, I decided to turn around and return. It all looked pretty good until I entered a town halfway home while showing 58 kilometres left in the battery. To my horror, I realized I was probably still about 50 kilometres
away from my garage. The longer you brake, not how hard, puts more regenerative power in the battery. I was recapturing one or two kilometres this way, but it still looked like it was going to be close. Being in a hilly moraine region, I would gingerly accelerate up hills and then coast

down the other side. This was good for another one or two kilometres. I probably irked a lot of drivers behind me, but it sure worked. By the time I got home, there was still 21 kilometres in the battery. The big lesson I learned here was not just to be realistic about range but to constantly practise battery-regeneration tactics and make it an art. My combined total driving that day was 124.0 kilometres. But, I was shocked to see the summary readout say it was going to take 18.9 hours to recharge. I plugged in at 8 p.m. and, at 8 a.m. the next day, three quadrants were solid and the

fourth was flashing. I had to go out and, when I came back six hours later, it was all topped up. I guesstimate it took about 14 hours to fully charge. Total ground covered in both trips was 204.1 kilometres, with 29.9 kW used over a total of
4:11.56 hours used. Because hydro rates are different depending on where you live, I’ll let you do the math. On top of that is the Canadian price of $41,199. There is a provincial rebate of $6,000 in B.C. that lowers the price to $36,199. That’s still pretty pricey for a car that can’t get you realistically beyond about 140 kilometres in 24 hours. The charging station isn’t cheap either, but it sure makes sense if it cuts charging times dramatically. On the other hand, judicious use makes vehicle a practical family car that never needs to see a fuel pump again. With fuel costs ever rising, that attribute alone makes tit a viable motive alternative and me much less skeptical.

GemStone Kala Stone is one of Kamloops’ brightest young sports stars By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
HE KAMLOOPS TRACK AND FIELD CLUB HAS A DIAMOND IN KALA STONE. Raw and uncut, but a gem, nonetheless. The 17-year-old South Kamloops Titan won three medals — gold in the under-18 girls’ 1,500-metre, silver in the 800metre and bronze in the 4X400 relay — at the Legion Canadian Youth Athletics Championships, held this month in Charlottetown. Stone has won gold four years running in the 1,500-metre — her favourite event — at the B.C. High School Championships. Her mother described the blossoming athlete as a wee bit stubborn — a girl who “knows what she wants” — and her KTFC coach, Bruno Mazzotta, agreed. “Kala is opinionated in the sense that she is strong-minded about what she wants to do,” said Mazzotta, the club’s middle- and long-distance coach. “Sometimes, if she doesn’t see a real tangible reason to do something, she will question that. “I like that. I like having that dialogue with my athletes.” For example, Stone did not warm quickly to the idea of running 200- and 400-metre races earlier this year because she is not a sprinter. It seems like a logical line of thought, but there was no real competition for her in those early-season regional meets in
the 1,500-metre, so Mazzotta insisted she test her mettle in shorter distances. “With an athlete, their idea of what they should or shouldn’t be doing will sort of not be as evolved as a coach’s,” Mazzotta said. To be clear, the athlete-coach duo gets along just fine and Stone is no prima donna. In fact, her determination and strong will are among her best attributes. When asked what she does for fun, Stone replied, “Track. There’s no time for anything else.” The former Aberdeen elementary student’s ceiling is Jack-and-the-Beanstalk high. “She has the talent to go all the way — Olympics,” Mazzotta said. There are, however, plenty of decisions to make before then. “She seems hellbent on going to a big university in the States,” Mazzotta said. Scholarship offers will no doubt be filling the Stones’ mailbox. The tall, lean runner, Mazzotta said, is a kicker. A what? A kicker — a middle- to long-distance runner with an extra gear that kicks in on the home stretch. “She has remarkable speed for a distance runner,” Mazzotta said. “With that sprint speed, I actually think Kala would be best in the 800-metre.” In Charlottetown, she entered the 800metre on her coach’s advice and because the event took place after
the 1,500-metre. She proved to be the second-fastest under-18 female runner in the nation at that distance, which she ran only twice this season. In Kamloops, Stone is a big fish in a small pond. If she attends an NCAA Division 1 school, there are several pitfalls she must avoid, according to her coach. “You have this amazing pressurecooker environment,” Mazzotta said. “Top-level NCAA athletes are at Olympic level. It can be quite demanding when you’re 18 to have the patience to work through those years and to put into perspective the results you’re achieving against 23-year-olds.” Mazzotta said his pupil will also have to get used to less attention from coaches, given the size of most Division 1 school track teams. It hasn’t been all smooth sailing for the young athlete, who last year began feeling lightheaded and fatigued during races. When her results started to decline, she went to see a doctor, who diagnosed Stone with iron-deficiency anemia. She began taking iron supplements and, over time, the results began to improve. Now it’s full steam ahead for Stone, who has eyes for a place on the world’s biggest stage. “You watch the Olympics and, of course, you want to be there,” she said. “I certainly would love to do that in my future.”

TRU’s soccer women ready for regular season
LEFTY UNLOADS
The TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team finished its preseason on a high note against the Concordia Thunder of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference on Saturday, Aug. 25, in Edmonton. TRU overcame a 3-0 deficit and edged Concordia 4-3. “We gave up a goal in the first three minutes and didn’t play well in that opening half,” said Tom McManus, TRU’s head coach. “In the second half, I went
with most of the players I think will be starters and we battled back.” Jaydene Radu, Laura Smylie, Marlie Rittinger and River City product Bronwyn Crawford notched goals for the WolfPack, who went with Jamie Wheeler between the pipes. WolfPack rookie Kindra Maricle of Kamloops was the player of the match. TRU finished the pre-season with a 2-1 record, losing 3-0 to UBC and beating Edmonton’s
MacEwan University 6-0. McManus has some rosterrelated decisions to make before TRU opens its Pacific Western Athletic Association season against the Douglas College Royals on Saturday, Sept. 8, at Hillside Stadium. He will cut the roster to 25 from 29, likely by week’s end. The WolfPack placed fourth last season at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championship after winning the PacWest.
Pack men fall to CIS teams,Thunderbirds, Huskies Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) soccer looks to be a sure thing in the near future for the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team, which got a taste of top-level competition on the weekend. TRU, which plays in the Pacific Western Athletic Association, fell 2-1 to the Saskatchewan Huskies on Sunday, Aug. 26, and 3-0 to the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday, Aug. 25. The Huskies and T-Birds are CIS teams. “I think both of us

TRU wraps its preseason with a pair of games, on Friday, Aug. 31, against the NCAA Division II Simon Fraser University Clan in Burnaby and

Broncos booted into bye week

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
A bye week will give the Kamloops Broncos time to lick their wounds after falling 59-17 to the Jordan Yantz-led Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo on Saturday, Aug. 25, at Hillside Stadium. Yantz, one of the most highly touted quarterbacks in junior Canadian football, completed 20 of 27 passes for 398 yards and six touchdowns, five of them to different receivers. “He put on an air show,� said Darryl Chow, the Broncos’ general manager. The Nanaimo club’s QB became the first in Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) history to throw 100 TDs, finishing the game with 104 in his career. Kamloops posted its highest-ever point
total — 17 — against the BCFC-powerhouse Raiders, national champions in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Receiver Derek Yachison was the Broncos’ go-to guy, racking up 84 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. Kamloops’ pivot Jesse Neufeld had a decent night under centre, completing 14 passes on 25 attempts for 161 yards and one major. Backup Stephen Schuweiler played well in relief, connecting on four of six passes for 57 yards. Running back Mike McMaster, a former Raider, punched in a TD from four yards out in the fourth quarter, but gained only seven yards on eight carries against a stingy Vancouver Island defence. Broncos’ kicker Aaron Smit was good on two converts and
one field goal, from 40 yards out. Next up for the Broncos are the Langley Rams, who sit tied atop the BCFC standings with the Raiders
at 3-0-1. Kamloops (1-3), tied for fourth in the six-team league with the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna, will travel to Langley on Sept. 8

D-men duelling for roster spots STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Blazers hopeful Ryan Rehill might have said it best. “You don’t know whether they’re going to keep you or send you home,� said the 16-year-old, one of about 10 defencemen vying for a spot on the Blazer blue-line. “It’s not really frustrating, it’s just kind of nerve-racking.� Returning to the fold on the back end are Marek Hrbas and Tyler Hansen, both 19, and Tyler Bell, Landon Cross and Brady Gaudet, all 18. Austin Madaisky, 20, is under contract with the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets and his future with the Blazers is uncertain. If there is a lockout and the Blue Jackets’ American Hockey League affiliate team, the Springfield Falcons, has too many D-men, he might be back in Blue and Orange. What must make it frustrating for some of the younger defencemen at camp — Rehill, Josh Connolly, 17, Connor Clouston, 16, Jordan Thomson, 16, and Mackenzie Ferner, 16 — is they are all
likely good enough to play WHL hockey this season. Thomson was drafted fourth overall in the 2011 bantam draft to be Kamloops’ next Madaisky-type player, an anchor on the blueline. At 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, Connolly is a smooth-skating, puck-moving defenceman who has shown signs of genius throughout camp. Rehill possesses a completely different kind of skillset. “He’s got to be a prototypical player like Hansen and do that type of job,� said Dave Hunchak, the Blazers’ associate coach. “He’s got to assert himself and be more of a presence. It’s a do or die type thing.� The Blue vs. White game, which gets underway at 7 p.m. tonight (Aug. 28) at Interior Savings Centre, will be a great place for Rehill to show his teeth. “You’re battling against a few guys for a few spots,� Rehill said. “I’ve just been playing my game, playing physical and standing guys up at the blueline.� Kamloops is host-
ing the Victoria Royals in exhibition play at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30, at ISC. Clouston is the son of Medicine Hat Tigers’ head coach Shaun Clouston and has also shown well at camp thus far. Ferner, attending his third Blazers’ training camp, told KTW “it’s a little frustrating� knowing he might not make the opening-day roster, but he will stay positive, showcase his talents and see how others players do. The Vernon product is the son of former Blazers’ head coach Mark Ferner and grandson of renowned Kamloops scout Ed Ferner. Having a deep blueline is a great problem to have for coaching staff and management. “It’s a credit to our scouting staff,� Hunchak said. “They’ve drafted not just good defencemen, but different defencemen.� It’s not such a great problem for the aspiring players who are left off the roster, or the veterans who might be traded to make room for younger talent. “We will all sit down as a group and
give our opinion on how we want our team to look,� Hunchak said.
“It usually sorts itself out in the next two or three weeks.�

Signing Josh Hamilton could be a risky move
B
ASED ON statistics alone, Josh Hamilton should be one of the most sought-after free agents this winter in the history of Major League Baseball. But, any general manager offering what a player of Hamilton’s calibre should normally command — something in the Albert Pujols/Prince Fielder stratosphere . . . $200 million or so for nine or 10 years — would either have to be partly off his rocker to do so, or have extraordinary faith. Hamilton, you see, is an enigma. A team signing the Texas Rangers star won’t really be sure what its getting. Will it get the ‘good Hamilton’, the 35-home-run slugger who bats .350, as he did in 2010 when he was the runaway winner of the American League MVP voting? Or, will it possibly get the ‘bad Hamilton’, the drug- and alcoholaddicted loser whose life spun so miserably out of control that his career stats have a three-year void (2003 to 2005), when the booze and drugs caused him to hit rock bottom. His fall was dramatic — his comeback has been wonderfully heartwarming. Two-hundred million dollars, however, is a big investment, no matter how much money some of the big players (Yankees, Dodgers, Angels) might have to throw around. Since getting his life under control,
BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW and his terrorization of American League pitchers has been the norm, Hamilton has had a couple of alcoholic ‘slips.’ And, you know what they say about alcoholics, of which Hamilton is admittedly one: “One drink is always too many and 100 is never enough.” Baseball MVPs in their prime (Hamilton is 31) who are free agents are usually followed around by general managers driving Brinks’ trucks until they agree to take hundreds of millions of dollars from one of them. But, a strange thing happened to Hamilton this summer. After living up to his new image by batting .395 and .344 in April and May, he slumped horribly — hitting only .202 during June and July. At one point, perplexed Rangers’ manager Ron Washington even benched his slugging outfielder. In all probability, Hamilton will need a number of suitcases to carry all the cash some hopeful team will offer him this winter. But, it will be all that other Hamilton baggage that the ‘winning’ team should be worried about.

HE COULD GO ALL THE WAY Curtis Owens of the peewee Kamloops Wildcats heads to the endzone in Southern Interior Football Conference play at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 25. Kamloops fell 30-6 to the Vernon Yellowjackets. Callum Gorman and Sean Smit led the Kamloops defence with five tackles each, while Rorik Munson, Cole Simmons and Nick Berry combined for 10 tackles. Strong offensive-line play from Preston Jenkins, Mattias Nelson and Graham Epp allowed quarterback Carsen Day to find Owens on a 25-yard touchdown strike. In atom SIFC play, Vernon edged the Kamloops Broncos 12-6. Tailback Sheldon Aitken scored for the Broncos on a 65-yard run. Ty Kitamura played well at QB in his first-ever start for Kamloops.

first time Canada has medalled at a women’s world championship age-group event. “Unbelievable effort . . . we got down but did not quit,” Canadian head coach Carly Clarke said. “This group has been resilient the entire time we’ve been together and today was another great
example of that.” Wolfram, a South Kamloops Titan, added 15 points in the win, second in team scoring to Emily Potter, who netted 17. Japan trailed by one point, 72-71, with six minutes to play, but the Canadians pulled away in the stretch run. The Kamloops prod-
uct sparked her team with a strong performance in the paint. “As we have all tournament, we got meaningful contributions from all 12 players on the team,” Clarke said. “This was a great group of people and players to work with and I look forward to watching them continue
to develop over the years.” The 6-foot-5 Wolfram was a star at the B.C. AAA senior
girls’ basketball championship final in North Vancouver, where South Kam won gold in March.

Fall baseball registration open The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association (KMBA) is embarking this week on its annual fall-ball season and is seeking players new to the sport for a lowcommittment month of baseball. The association is hosting divisions for
mosquito (2002-2003), peewee (2000-2001) and bantam-midget (1999 and older). “The cool and dry fall season is perfect weather for baseball and comes at the same time as Major League Baseball ramps up for division championships and World Series,”
KMBA president Dean Martin said. “It’s just a great time to be out on our diamonds.” It costs $50 to register for the five-week season. Coaches will emphasize the basic skills of fielding, throwing and hitting. Depending on the
division, a combination of practices, scrimmages and games against other associations will be held. “Kids sometimes have conflicting activities at this time of year so the committment expected of players to attend practices and games is lower,” a
KMBA press release said. “The emphasis is on getting out and playing baseball when we can.” Division and registration information is available at kamloopsbaseball.com. For more information, call Martin at 250-377-3903.
Curing the end-of-summer blues
I
’M NEVER ready to give up summer. I could very happily live every day in 30 degrees with swimming and paddling and cycling and running in the sunshine. But, there are some reasons to be looking forward to fall, mostly to do with getting back into a fitness and nutrtion routine. There’s something about summer that throws that all out the window. I usually make it to somewhere in July before I start truly letting my good habits slide and this year has been no different. Add to that the end of my race season and an injury and my clothes are all getting a wee bit snug. One of my friends said the summer sun must be shrinking her clothes on the clothesline and I quite like that explanation but, unfortunately, I don’t think it will fly. One thing about doing this every year is I know how to deal
SHAWN WENGER Fitness For MORTALS with it. I’m almost looking forward to logging my food and planning my exercise program and being consistent with rehabbing my injury. I’m looking forward to reconnectiong with friends who have been just as busy through the summer. I’m missing the participants from my fitness classes and can’t wait to see them again and I know they’ll be ready to get back to working out. The crazy thing is I know the cycle. I will work really hard to shed the few pounds I’ve gained. Then, Christmas will come and I’ll gain a few there. Then, in January I’ll lose that again.
Ah, the challenges of a slow metabolism. The difference? I know the cycle. I’m not letting it get me down as much as it has in past years. I’m a little grumpy, yes, but not as depressed as usual. I have enjoyed the treats and the relaxation and socialization with friends. I needed it after a very challenging and rewarding season of ultra-distance cycling. I wish I was one of the people who can do all of that and stay the same weight, but I’m
not, so I have to deal with it. Many people are in the same boat. So, we roll our sleeves up, get our focus back and feel good about making the positive changes again. Years ago when I fought this cycle tooth and nail, I would inadvertently make it last longer because I let the depression get me down. I let the snowball keep rolling for longer than it should have and often I didn’t pull myself out of the nose dive before it was much
too late and way too much damage had been done. It takes a long time to learn some things, but eventually we do learn them. Sometimes when we lighten up on ourselves a bit, we can be so much happier.

NORTH It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of the truly remarkable Mr. Ken North on August 22, 2012 at the age of 66 years. An incredibly kind and generous man who touched many lives, Ken will be hugely missed. Ken was born October 22,1945 in Nepawa Manitoba. After moving around quite frequently as a child, Ken decided to move out to BC with his friend Henry. It was while in Vancouver that Uncle David introduced Ken to the woman who became his beloved wife Arlene and they were married in December 1970. They then moved to Kamloops in1973 with 2 year old son, and with the addition of a daughter in 1974, have lived here happily ever since. Ken started his career with Westinghouse as a warehouseman in Vancouver and worked his way up through the company, and through its transition to “ Wesco”, to become the Kamloops Branch Manager. His career with Wesco lasted 36 years, ending with his retirement in 2005. He was an amazing salesman, mediator and businessman who was greatly respected in the industry. Ken is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Arlene and their two children Dan (Casey) and Jennifer (Jon), his beautiful mother, Orlo, and her husband John Kuharski are also mourning his loss along with Ken’s loving brother Laury. Ken will also be missed by his precious grandchildren, Hailey and David, as well as numerous other family and countless friends. Not to be forgotten, he will be dearly missed by his devoted pup, Pyper. Ken was predeceased by his father Roy North. Ken was a charter member of the Paddlewheelers Lions Club and devoted countless hours to raising money for those in need. He was always happy standing behind the grill, serving up breakfast or burgers with a big smile and often a joke. Ken was also a talented musician who took great joy in any chance to strum and sing. He loved cruising the Caribbean and the Oregon Coast. Ken fought Lymphoma for several years and we shall always cherish every day we had with him. We Love you Papa, with all ours hearts. “This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit it.” There will not be a formal service but a celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Kamloops Paddlewheelers Lions Club would be appreciated. Box 1304, Kamloops, BC V2C 6H3. Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services in care of arrangements
Rise Up Slowly . . . Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.
Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.
Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.
Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.
Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.
Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.
Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.
Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.
