PM looks to Interior in appointing B.C’s lieutenant governor

Roadwork on Grandview Terrace was scheduled to be completed this week, but has been extended to the end of the month. This project, combined with projects on Summit Drive and Victoria and Columbia streets, will create delays through October. Dave Eagles/KTW

WELCOME TO DETOURTOBER By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Keep your maps handy, Kamloops. The city is asking motorists to find alternate routes as major road-construction projects begin on Summit Drive, Victoria Street and Columbia Street from now until the end of October. On Columbia Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, workers will be replacing the box culvert running under the road, with both road and sidewalk closures expected. “The concrete box culvert that’s under the ground there had just deteriorated over the years and needs to be replaced,” said Jim McNeely, the city’s streets and internal services manager. “There’s going to be some disruption to traffic, but it’s one of those things where it’s better to do it in a proactive way than have it actually collapse and create a much

bigger problem.” On Victoria Street and Summit Drive, road crews will mill off the top couple of inches of asphalt before repaving the routes. On Victoria, work will stretch between First and Fifth avenues. On Summit, work will run from Columbia Street to Springhill Drive. In both cases, McNeely said, the roads have outlived their lifespan and are now patchy, potholed and rutted. “You drive down Victoria Street and you’ll notice. I think that Victoria Street was upgraded almost 30 years ago, when they did the beautification downtown,” he said. “So, that road is that old. Generally, you like to think you get about 25 years out of an asphalt road.” McNeely said the construction will cause delays on both routes, but it will likely be more significant on Victoria, since contractors have more traffic-routing

options on the four-lane Summit Drive. “Victoria Street’s pretty tight. The most expedient way may be to actually close it for a period of time while they go through and mill it,” he said. Residents on Grandview Terrace are also facing another month of street closures as the city continues a major road reconstruction. Capital-projects manager Kristen Meersman said the project — which will see new sidewalks, gutters and a new roadway put in — was originally due to wrap up at the beginning of October but, when the city discovered the water line in the area was set much deeper than it should have been, it elected to install a new one. That decision pushed the project’s end date to late October. “We’ve run into a number of things,” said Meersman. “It is one of the older streets, so we do tend to run into some things that we don’t expect all the time.”

Nicola Valley rancher Judith Guichon has been appointed lieutenant governor for British Columbia, succeeding Steven Point. “She has a deep appreciation for the history and traditions of British Columbia and has spent a lifetime ensuring that we all stay connected to our roots, particularly through her work with the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association,” said Premier Christy Clark of Guichon. “Those deep, abiding roots are what have driven Judith to get involved in her community, industry and province. She never has just stood by, but always sought ways to bring her perspective forward in a positive fashion and make our province better.” Lieutenant governors in each province are appointed to five-year terms by the Governor General on the recommendation of the prime minister. “Mrs. Guichon has dedicated herself to her community, province and country,” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “She is a leader in keeping British Columbia’s agriculture and cattle industries environmentally sound and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of British Columbia.” Guichon has had a successful career in ranching and introduced the holistic management method to ranchers in B.C. She is the owner and operator of Gerard Guichon Ranch Limited on Highway 5A (Kamloops-Merritt Highway). It overlooks Nicola Lake in Quilchena. Guichon lives there with two of her four children. She has worked with several organizations, including the Fraser Basin Council of B.C. and the Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C. and recently completed her two-year term as the president of the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper introduces Judith Guichon in Ottawa on Monday, Oct. 1.

ETTY INOUYE was too young at the time to realize what was happening. It was 1942 when the seven-year-old and her Japanese-Canadian family were forced to move from Vancouver to Bridge River. “Life went on,” she told KTW, describing her family’s three-year stay in the small community, one of 15 such camps in B.C. set up to house Japanese citizens living in Canada and Canadians of Japanese origin. “Kids had lots of fun. We had playmates,” Inouye said. “There wasn’t that much discrimina-

opening offers history lesson tion because there weren’t a lot of people living there.” The internment was in response to the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. On Saturday, Sept. 29, Inouye was at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in North Kamloops for the official opening of the centre’s Japanese-Canadian Museum and Archives.

Inouye was one of eight committee members who helped make the project a reality. She is the only one who actually lived through internment. The Museum and Archives, located in the basement of the centre’s 160 Vernon Ave. location, features information displays detailing the B.C. internment camps, documents from the time and even a uniform Japanese men were required to wear at work camps. Inouye said the process of creating the project has been cathartic. “I think so,” she said. “I’ve learned an awful lot.” But, Inouye already knew an awful lot, too, having worked in the 1980s on getting redress for those interned in the camps. That wasn’t always the case, though. At the time, Inouye said, she thought her family had “just moved” to Bridge River.

Inouye’s family was not typical of Japanese internees. Her father was a physician, so the family was provided special allowances — including the right to keep their car. And, while many internment camps stayed in place until 1949, Inouye and her family moved in 1945 to Lillooett, where her father had been hired as a doctor. “By the time I was in high school [in Lillooett], I knew why we had been there,” she said. The Japanese-Canadian Museum and Archives is open to the public on Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and on the second and fourth Saturday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There is no charge to enter the museum and archives. The internment display is slated to remain in place until the end of the year.

Hotel seeks $17K from former guest By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An alleged fraudster from Quesnel is being sued by a downtown Kamloops hotel that claims he skipped out on a bill of more than $17,000. The Thompson Hotel and Conference Centre has filed a notice of claim in Kamloops provincial court, seeking $17,332.01 from Austin Smith for room fees, food, in-room movies, phone charges and laundry services it claims to have provided earlier this year. The documents claim Smith, 55, stayed at The Thompson for about three months, from Feb. 21 to May 30. Since then, the hotel claims, the former guest has offered a string of excuses when asked to pay.

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

According to court documents, Smith has told managers at The Thompson his credit card was stolen, has claimed personal medical issues and has said his cellphone wasn’t receiving calls at various times while being hounded for payment. “Austin will text to say he’s going to be in town, and has been seen in town, but he never follows through and still there is no payment on this account,” the documents read. At one point, the hotel claims, Smith handed over a $14,000 cheque, but the bank said there was no money available in the associated account. When contacted by KTW, Smith claimed to be waiting for payment himself. “I did stay — actually, other people

had stayed there under my name,” he said. “The hotel is owed some money.” But, he took issue with the dollar value in the court documents. “That sounds pretty high,” he said. “That amount, $17,000, that’s a lot of money at any hotel.” In an unrelated matter, Smith is facing trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Quesnel later this month on three charges — fraud over $5,000, uttering a forged document and forgery. The Crown alleges Smith defrauded the Quesnel Lacrosse Association during a 14-month period ending in March 2009. Smith has not yet filed a response to The Thompson’s lawsuit, but he has spoken to his lawyer. He said he hopes to meet with the hotel soon.

Kamloops loses out on Ironman bid By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops will not be the new home to the Ironman Canada triathlon. While a shortlist released by event organizers the World Triathlon Corporation includes two B.C. communities — Kelowna and Whistler, as well as Hunstville, Ont. — the Tournament Capital didn’t make the cut to succeed Penticton as host of the Canadian triathlon championships. Seven communities submitted bids to host the event, including Kelowna, Whistler, Kamloops, Vernon and Victoria in B.C. Penticton, which had long been host of the Canadian Ironman event, decided to go with another triathlon beginning next year. Last week, rather than attend the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria, Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray led a delegation to Florida, to present the city’s proposal in person to the World Triathlon Corporation. Kamloops decided to submit its proposal electronically. When asked by KTW to comment on Kelowna’s aggressive

approach, Tournament Capital co-ordinator Sean Smith said Kamloops opted to not make a promotional trip. “I don’t think a decision is going to be made on whether to host an event because the bid was delivered in person,” he said. According to the World Triathlon Corporation, the selection of the three Canadian finalists was based on criteria as stated in the bid process that closed on Sept. 24. Mayor Peter Milobar said it’s disappointing to be out of the running for the event, but added the city’s Ironman bid was serious and put together well. “Our bid didn’t really pan out, but it wasn’t for lack or trying or seriousness or financial commitment or anything like that,” he said. “I think we were very serious. We were in the ball game. We weren’t just hoping our reputation carried the day.” As part of the bid, the city had agreed to commit $75,000 in cash and more than $100,000 in in-kind services to the triathlon — which Milobar had suggested could have delivered about $15 million in economic spinoffs to the Kamloops.

Milobar said he hasn’t heard a reason why WTC opted not to go with the Kamloops bid. “We always knew there were a couple little technical pieces on the course that may have been problematic, depending on how they wanted to view it or not,” he said. “Whether they wanted to stay close to the airport that would’ve been the point of entry for Penticton normally, if they’re going to stay in this region or not, who knows?” Though Kamloops is out of the running, Milobar once again declined to reveal details of the city’s suggested Ironman route — which is being looked at as a possible starting point for a new, Kamloops-organized event. “The neat thing out of all of this is there’s now people within the triathlon world in Kamloops going, ‘Maybe we can do something that’s not tied to anything else’,” Milobar said. As part of the next phase in the selection process, Ironman staff will conduct in-depth visits to each finalist community. Ironman expects to announce the host for the 2013 Ironman Canada, as well as additional eventrelated details, by mid-October. Murphy’s

Company seeks hundreds from Gaglardi’s ﬁrm By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A local traffic-control company is suing Tom Gaglardi and his Northland Properties company for less than $300, claiming the millionaire failed to pay up after a day of work in downtown Kamloops earlier this year. Interior Traffic Control filed a notice of claim in Kamloops provincial court on Friday,

Sept. 28, seeking $268.80 — plus $156 in court fees — for work done at the site of Gaglardi’s new Sandman Signature development on Lorne Street. The court documents claim Interior Traffic Control provided services on Feb. 16. The company claims the invoice sent to Northland has not been paid. In addition to his role as president of Northland — the

company behind the Kamloops Sandman development — Gaglardi is also majority owner of the Western Hockey League’s Kamloops Blazers and the owner of the National Hockey League’s Dallas Stars. Northland will have 14 days to reply to Interior Traffic Control’s claim once it has been served with court documents. Calls to the company were not returned as of KTW press time.

Union still probing alleged planned ‘hit’ of guard By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre staff are continuing to look into reports last month that a gang-affiliated inmate had put “a hit” on one of the jail’s correctional officers, according to the spokesman for the union representing the guards. “It’s still ongoing,” Dean Purdy told KTW. “At the end of the day, basically, the inmates don’t talk, but it’s still an ongoing investigation from our standpoint.” On Sept. 6, Purdy said, KRCC was under

lockdown following an unrelated stabbing. That’s when jail staff learned of a “gangrelated hit” having been placed on a correctional officer by an inmate, he said. According to Purdy, “the culture of inside the jail” makes it hard for staff to investigate such allegations. “From our standpoint, there was something to it,” he said. “But, because the inmates stay silent on these investigations, nothing is found. “Just because we don’t find out or get to the bottom of it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Kamloops Mounties have said they are not investigating the alleged threat.

Another strike at ICBC The Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union local 378 (COPE 378) has announced another day of strike action. About one-third of ICBC’s unionized workforce, which consists of more than 1,300 employees, will walk out on Wednesday, Oct. 3 — and, while the driver’s licence office on Concordia Way will be involved, it will not be closed. Mark Jan Vrem, manager of media relations and strategic communications for ICBC, said the office at 937 Concordia Way will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but service levels will be affected by the one-day strike. ICBC’s claims centre on Battle Street will not be affected by the job action. Union members last walked out on Sept. 18 as the union and ICBC continue to fail in reaching a contract settlement.

“Something simple, but when life is complicated, this is a very, very good thing! Thank you for the difference you make.” Dear Strauss Herb Company, I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing for people. This has been an eye-opening year. I am a young mom and am healing naturally from advanced cancer. Through this journey of ¿nding what it means to truly heal my whole self, more and more levels of change are becoming clear to me: my diet, the products I use in my home, on my body, and what I provide for my family... and that’s not even starting into the condition of the heart and mind. Part of these realizations has had me believing that the whole world was against me- toxins everywhere, all foods contaminated, poisons in our water, conspiracies every where I look, greed, sel¿shness... That mindset can get a little depressing. But I have begun to see how much people are actually changing, looking for change, making it happen, seeking, learning- it gets incredibly exciting to be a part of it all. In the search for something as simple as shampoo, I could not ¿nd an honest, legitimately clean product any where I looked. I scoured. I tried a few that still had a few undesirable ingredients (labeled incognito on the bottle)- the result was “dog-fur” hair! I thought I’d give up and just get my own dog-fur results by making my own vinegar and baking soda recipes at home. My hair was awful! But when I read your ingredients and Googled them, I was impressed. It all said what it claimed. And my hair? So incredibly soft and smooth! This is awesome! Something simple, but when life is complicated, this is a very, very good thing! Thank you for the difference you make. Oh, and I forgot to mention in my last comment that when I read where this product is made, just so happened to be my home town! I’m an Albertan now, but made me proud to be from Kamloops.

A question for prohibitionists: If pot illegal, why not alcohol?

HOSE WHO WISH TO retain the status quo, who wish to retain the abysmal failure that is the war on drugs (and, in particular, marijuana) have pointed to the Canada/U.S. dilemma. That is, prohibition proponents — in reacting to last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities resolution to pressure the federal government to decriminalize pot — are quick to note the U.S. will not follow suit if Canada does decriminalize marijuana. Therefore, argue the prohibitionists, gangsters in Canada will still make obscene amounts of money and violence will still rage as they continue to try to get B.C. bud south of the border. Perhaps. But, that’s what is happening now. If marijuana was decriminalized in Canada, that may continue — but many positives would emerge. Decriminalization would at least stop making criminals out of lawabiding Canadian citizens for having the audacity to enjoy smoking a joint. The fact that it is deemed illegal for one to smoke a joint, yet deemed legal for one to smoke a cigarette or drink a beer or pop a pill, is ludicrous. Decriminalization would at least lessen the burden placed on police departments, who spend far too much time and far too much money enforcing a law that is as nonsensical as prohibition of alcohol was in the 1920s. Decriminalization would at least give government the opportunity to begin to regulate marijuana sales,

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS with the ultimate aim being to regulate, sell and tax the product in the same manner as government now regulates, sells and taxes alcohol. It won’t be easy, but it can be done, step by step, until the product is of a high-enough quality and lowenough cost to render grow-ops and dealers obsolete. Don’t think so? How many illegal moonshine stills have the Kamloops RCMP busted lately? If the Conservative government believes in marijuana prohibition, why does it not believe in prohibition of tobacco or alcohol? Then there is the health argument. Smoking pot is not good for you. No, it is not — lighting anything and inhaling its toxic smoke into your lungs rarely is. However, if we are to go down that road and base the legality of a substance on its health effects, then we must ban alcohol, which kills more people each year than all other drugs combined. We must ban cigarettes. We must ban sugar. We must ban trans-fats.

If health is the benchmark, we must ban it all — and, if we did, the black-market mavens who now feast on marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy profits will be drooling in anticipation of becoming wealthy beyond their dreams. There is also the youth argument — that legalizing pot will encourage youth to smoke and make it more available. No, what it will do is separate marijuana from truly destructive substances and end the lie given to kids that a joint will lead to a life on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. When kids realize smoking pot does not, in fact, lead to a Reefer Madness psychotic state — as has been preached to them incessantly — is it any wonder they may not believe us when we try to convey the dangers of cocaine, crack and heroin? Try this experiment to determine availability. Wander down to any high school and ask a teenager to get you a sixpack of Budweiser. Ask another teenager to get you some pot. Guess which one will deliver immediately? Guess which one will have a hell of a time procuring the goods? Does it not seem strange to prohibitionists that the illegal substance is so much easier to obtain by kids than is the regulated, taxed substance? There is no logic to maintaining the illegality of marijuana, and to argue the issue is beyond exhausting. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

The choice of Judith Guichon as B.C.’s new lieutenant governor is a significant nod to the B.C. Interior and the cattle industry, which goes back to B.C.’s earliest days as an organized colony and, later, as a province. Very few of this province’s 28 previous lieutenant governors have had significant connections to the Interior, despite the fact it makes up much of B.C.’s geography and has been the source of much wealth for all B.C. residents. While Iona Campagnolo, the only other woman to hold the position, lived for some time in Prince Rupert and represented Skeena in Parliament, she was the last lieutenant governor with strong Interior connections since Robert Randolph Bruce, who established a mine near Windermere Lake in the East Kootenays in 1887 and served as lieutenant governor from 1926 to 1931. Most of B.C.’s lieutenant governors have been involved in the business community in either Vancouver, Victoria or both. One was a former premier of Quebec who had never lived in B.C. until his appointment. While the Vancouver-Victoria axis has been a dominant force in much of B.C.’s political and economic history, it is important that lieutenant governors represent the whole province and all its varied peoples. Outgoing lieutenant governor Steven Point is a shining example of this as the first person from B.C.’s culturally rich and diverse First Nations to serve in the position. Another example of a valued Queen’s representative was David Lam, who served from 1988 to 1995 and was the first Asian-Canadian in the position. Guichon, who has introduced holistic management to the cattle ranching business and lives in Quilchena, between Merritt and Kamloops, is a longtime resident of the Nicola Valley and the Guichon family have a deep connection to that part of the province. She should be a significant addition to the lieutenant governor roster.

Based on the letter from Frank G. Sterle, Jr., perhaps Knute, the male grizzly at the B.C. Wildlife Park, is very lucky to be living in captivity in Kamloops, based on the number of wild bruins that have been shot and killed this year. Sterle argues the animals should be relocated, not slain, when found in urban areas. After all, he points out, bears are simply living on their natural home grounds, which have been theirs since before any humans arrived in the Thompson Valley. Allen Douglas photo

SURVEY RESULTS

Bears should be relocated, not killed by humans Editor: When are we going to clearly acknowledge the great injustice being committed against wild animals— in this case, bears in Kamloops — by human deforestation and encroachment on the animals’ natural home grounds that have been theirs millennia before colonization, even by aboriginals.

Too many wild bears and other such potentially dangerous animals are being killed when they behave in a threatening manner toward humans. We’re willing to kill many of them when we could make it a regulated rule to dose them with as much potent tranquilizer as is necessary to encase and relocate them all,

alive and well. But, it appears humanity’s superiorminded nature allows our collective conscience to simply shoot dead such animals for reacting in their natural, predatory manner. Frank G. Sterle, Jr. White Rock

Know the dangers of genetically modiﬁed foods Editor: Re: (‘Learn more about non-browning Arctic apple,’ Sept. 20): I have recently sent a letter to Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod regarding the non-browning Arctic apple and my concerns with this genetically modified (GM) apple seed affecting organic apple farming in the Okanagan. I have copied it below. I would also like to mention the Sept. 20 article in KTW did not mention anything about the Arctic apple being genetically modified. I feel that is a very important piece of information for readers to know. Dear Mrs. McLeod: Thank you for your reply. I appreciate there are proper procedures followed that are meant to ensure the safety of these GM apples for human consumption and the environment, but can the safety for all truly be measured 10 to 15

years into the future? Is it fair to our children’s future? I am a certified horticulturist and have some knowledge of the cycle of natural seed distribution in the environment. The most beautiful and natural thing that takes place right under our noses, and continues life year after year, is a miracle in itself. However, it is the organic farmers themselves who are more aware than all of us as to what threats lie ahead for their farms and the future of organic seeds. They are the ones who should be listened to. I feel the rigorous assessments made are still lacking when these decisions are life-changing for our environment. How much do they lean on the side of Mother Nature over science? Even though the threat of these GM seeds to be pollinated (by bees, rather than wind) with other organic crops may be limited, it is never going to be

100 preventive. This is where I feel the safety assessment fails. Mother Nature does not work that way. Pollination is supposed to happen in nature and there are various methods that she will use, including insects, wind and water, to make it happen. It is a process that works perfectly — and, to think that having an apple that doesn’t turn brown is more important than the cause and effect this will eventually have on organic-seed farming is turning a blind eye to the truth. If I can make any suggestions at all, it would be for politicians and members of Parliament to please educate themselves further on the cycle of natural-seed distribution vs GM seeds — and to really open their eyes and ears as to how this will change the course of organic seeds and farming in the Okanagan.

New ﬁrehall a busy place By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s newest fire hall is already seeing plenty of action. At the grand opening of station No. 7 on Monday, Oct. 1, Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Neill Moroz said the call volume for the Aberdeen hall is higher than originally projected when operations began in March. “We’ll be keeping them busy,” Moroz said, noting he expects the station to handle annually about 400

calls as first responders and approximately 200 more as back-up. Before the hall opened in March, calls to the Aberdeen area were covered by the department’s main firehall at Summit and Arrowstone drives in Sahali. “That was a problem. It was such a long response time for this area that we had to shorten those response times,” Moroz said. The station has a full-time staff of four and houses other equipment that isn’t needed

for run-of-the-mill calls, such as hazardous-material gear and wildland trucks. It also serves as a year-round training hub for the entire fire service and includes a training tower for practising rope rescues, high- and low-rise firefighting and other scenarios. “There’s just so many things you can do with this facility,” Moroz said. “We thought, ‘Here’s a space. What can

we do to make some training function in this place?’ So, every room in this placed is designed with that in mind.” Firefighters from other stations will cycle through the Aberdeen facility throughout the year. “Every firefighter in the city will train out of this hall at some point,” Moroz said. A public open house with tours of the new fire hall is planned for later this month.

Chief Neill Moroz speaks at the grand opening of Kamloops Fire Rescue’s No. 7 station in Aberdeen. Moroz said the station, which opened in March while construction was still ongoing, is fielding more than the projected number of calls. Andrea Klassen/KTW

Fire ban extended The summer-like September has resulted in the open-fire ban in Kamloops to be extended through Halloween. Kamloops Fire Centre officials say open-fire prohibitions in the Kamloops Fire Centre will be extended to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. Due to recent warm and dry weather, 70 per cent of the region remains at a “high” or “extreme” fire-danger rating. A map of the affected areas is available online at bit.ly/Rl2J35. These prohibitions apply to burning any material piled larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide, the burning of stubble or grass, using fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description. Anyone found in violation of an open-fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for up to $345.

Blazer parking at a premium No more pay-by-game parking in lot behind ISC Kamloops Blazers fans will no longer be able to park directly behind Interior Savings Centre — unless they pony up $249 for the privilege of reserving a spot for the entire season. Due to what it calls

strong demand, the City of Kamloops is expanding its preferred-parking program at Interior Savings Centre for all regular-season Blazer hockey games. The cost for a full season, which includes the first two playoff

HandyDart drivers treated for CO2 poisoning A HandyDart bus has been returned to Ford for the second time in the last three weeks after two of its drivers were treated at Royal Inland Hospital for carbon-monoxide poisoning. Maribeth Burton, spokeswoman for B.C. Transit, said a male and female driver were affected. The first incident happened three weeks ago, Burton said. The driver left work feeling ill, stayed home for a day, returned to drive the same bus and became ill a second time, requiring treatment at RIH. On Thursday, Sept. 27, another driver became ill during the route and was taken to hospital. Burton said BC Transit mechanics checked the vehicle both times and were not satisfied, so they sent it to Ford for more detailed examination. She said the bus is diesel-fuelled and carbonmonoxide fumes are uncommon with that type of engine, though not unheard of. Passengers would not likely have been affected, Burton said, because it requires hours of exposure for the gas to cause sickness. She said Ford is looking at the fuel-injection system, but the bus will not be back on the road until BC Transit is satisfied it is safe.

Highway to be four-laned At the 2012 Union of BC Municipalities convention, Premier Christy Clark promised continued fourlaning of the TransCanada Highway. The premier announced a total of $650 million over 10 years to continue four-lane improvements to the Trans-

Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border. In addition to the $141 million from the government’s current three-year service plan, Clark said, it is allocating another $509 million over the next 10 years, for a total of $650 million.

All preferredparking stalls have been relocated this year from the Heritage House parking lot on Lorne Street to the north lot directly beside ISC.

This means that the ISC north lot will no longer be offered as event parking during Blazer games to the general public. There will be additional capacity for public use at the Heritage House parking lot, which is about a block west of the arena. The cost for event parking at Heritage House and other-city-

Plan the Perfect Party!

Vittorios has been voted Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Best Banquet Hall & reception restaurant!

Reserve early & have a great Christmas! If you are in charge of organizing a Christmas party for your family, a group of friends, your company, or just a romantic dinner for two, do yourself a favour and reserve early â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that means right now! Why the rush? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that there are still a few weeks before all those Christmas parties begin, but there are plenty of reasons why you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t procrastinate on this. By looking now for the ideal restaurant, bar, pub, reception hall, or hotel for your party, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have many more possibilities to choose from as you search for a place that will suit your needs. Another advantage of making early reservations is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to choose the nicest room or the best-placed table, an undeniable privilege during this busy time of year when places are snapped up quickly. If you get on the ball now, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up with the table that no one else wanted, like the one next to the main entrance or the kitchen. Either one of those scenarios are enough to ruin the party mood, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a romantic dinner for two or a huge reception. If you reserve now, you are more likely to be treated well, as a good customer. One last reason to get busy: if you reserve early, the success of the party is sure to earn you a ton of compliments!

Bears busy preparing for winter By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

As bears attempt to pack on the pre-hibernation pounds, Kamloops Bear Aware is stepping up its campaign to minimize bruin-human conflict. Frank Ritcey, provincial Bear Aware co-ordinator, said the Kamloops program is planning a “bear blitz” for October that will include classroom visits and Facebook giveaways. Residents who put their garbage on the street before collection day may also wake up one morning to find their bags stickered by program volunteers, “just as a way of reminding people about why they should be keeping their garbage in,” Ritcey said. So far, five bears have been destroyed in Kamloops this year — most recently, a mother and cub who were active in the McArthur Island area this summer. While the sow and her three cubs were relocated from the park, conservation officer Darcy McPhee said the bears returned to the island within a few weeks of the move.

This bear was seen in a tree at Riverside Park but, Bear Aware co-ordinator Frank Ritcey says, the bruins are still wandering throughout the city, packing on pounds for hibernation. KTW file photo

“She was right in McArthur Island Park during a very, very busy Sunday afternoon. “There was several kids’ soccer games ongoing, people golfing, people riding bikes. Hundreds of people in the park,” McPhee said. “It was really not a very good scene. She was on one side of the fence at the golf course and her cubs were on the other side and she was highly agitated.” When the sow charged a conservation officer, she was killed. While officers were

able to successfully tranquilize two of the cubs, who had run up a tree, a third one didn’t respond to the dart. After a few more tries that pushed the cub farther up the tree, McPhee said an officer became concerned he would injured the bear and decided to kill it instead. “In his words, it was really becoming kind of cruel,” he said. The remaining cubs were shipped to a rehabilitation facility in Williams Lake. While it’s not the

preferred outcome, McPhee said the bears’ fate isn’t surprising. “Relocation is pretty much always a failure, we know that. But, with family units we try really hard to give them that second chance,” he said. However, he and Ritcey said bear activity in the city is down this year. Ritcey said there have been just over 300 calls about bears this year, compared to more than 400 at this time last year. Conservation officers

are seeing more activity from families of bears, McPhee said, which is unusual. “And, of course, they’re problematic because you have multiple bears to deal with.” In most cases, it’s fruit trees that are luring the bruins into town, something that will continue to be a concern until apple season ends, Ritcey said. While strong berry crops likely kept most bears out of the city during the summer, equally strong fruit hauls in town could draw them back. “That is just such a strong draw for bears,” said McPhee. “They’re willing to tolerate people honking horns and throwing things at them and pets barking — it’s such a good food source for them at this time of year that they will tolerate a lot of things they normally would not.” Ritcey said Bear Aware is planning a number of fruit-related campaigns on its Facebook page at facebook.com/bearawarebc, including recipe suggestions and a contest in which people can submit pictures of themselves picking fruit for prizes.

Police seek famished burglar Kamloops Mounties are on the trail of a hungry burglar believed to have broken into a downtown pub in need of a midnight snack. RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said police were called to the Central Station Pub at about 12:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 1, for a reported break-in. The Central is located at Fourth Avenue and Lansdowne Street. The pub’s owner had responded to an alarm and found a man in the kitchen of the bar preparing himself some food. Ward said the burglar fled when the owner arrived, noting nothing was taken. About 90 minutes later, Mounties were called to another downtown business — Frankly Coffee, at Fifth Avenue and Lansdowne Street — after a window was smashed. The suspect is described as a young

white man wearing dark clothes. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

BC Transit driver assaulted in Valleyview Kamloops Mounties are on the hunt for a drunk would-be transit rider alleged to have assaulted a bus driver in Valleyview on Thursday, Sept. 27. RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said police were called to the area of River Road and Valleyview Drive at about 1:30 p.m. after a drunk man boarded a city bus. The driver called police after the passenger refused to leave when asked to do so. Before officers arrived, the man left the bus, removed his mountain bike from the front rack, went to the driverside window and began punching the driver.

“The driver attempted to grab the man’s arm through the window but, in doing so, he suffered two cuts to his lower left arm,” Learned said. He is described as a white man in his early 50s, unshaven with dark hair. He was wearing a white shirt with pink and blue accents and riding a nondescript mountain bike. Maribeth Burton, corporate spokeswoman for B.C. transit, said the man punched through the bus window as he attacked the driver The driver sustained some minor injuries which were treated at the scene, Burton said. She added the suspect had been on the bus for some time and that there was a young woman and an older, burly man also on the bus. The suspect didn’t leave and assault the driver until the other man left, Burton said,

which BC Transit officials think was deliberate. The driver is off work. Anyone with information can call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Mounties on hunt for Mission man Kamloops Mounties are looking for a 28-year-old man from Mission after a provincial court judge in Kamloops issued a warrant for his arrest after he failed to abide by conditions imposed by the courts in relation to a previous weaponsrelated charge. Mathew Kevin Hickson stands fivefeet, nine-inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. He has blond hair and brown hair and has tattoos on his neck that spell “GUTES”. Hickson was charged after being stopped by police

for driving erratically in the area of Pemberton Terrace and West Columbia St. in Kamloops on the night of Tuesday, Aug. 28. The passenger in the truck being driven by Hickson was suffering from a gunshot wound to the shoulder and officers at the scene found a loaded pistol in the vehicle when it was searched.

Strike notice Are You Ready to Change the Shape served Members of CUPE Local 4879’s strike committee are meeting today (Oct. 2) to discuss job action after the union served Thompson Rivers University with a 72-hour strike notice. Last month, 68 per cent of the local’s 607 members voted 83 per cent in favour of strike action. Their contract expired in 2010 and the workers did not receive a raise that year or in 2011. Union president Lois Rugg said at the time of the strike vote that the local’s goal is to not impact students but to pressure the university. The main issues remain job security, inflation protection and a wage increase. CUPE workers at TRU consist of support workers in a variety of fields, including filing clerks, janitors, cafeteria aides, research assistants and book buyers.

Salituro equals success A Kamloops family raised the most money ever fundraised for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation by a nonincorporated group. Anthony Salituro and his family have raised more than $500,000 for breast-cancer research since creating the Pink Ribbon Charity Ball 15 years ago. At the beginning, Salituro’s goal was to raise a couple of thousand dollars for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, which he did. Today, Salituro and his committee of 12 are well on their way to reaching the $1-million mark. “The support from this city is incredible,” Salituro said. “They just all want to be a part of the Pink Ribbon Charity Ball. It’s huge.” Last year, the ball raised $96,000. This year, Salituro is expecting the event to raise more than $100,000. This year’s Pink Ribbon Charity Ball was held on Saturday,

Storm steady, despite injuries By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T WOULDN’T be a hockey season without injury troubles, which are plaguing the Kamloops Storm early in their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League campaign. “We’re a little beat up right now,” Storm owner and general manager Barry Dewar said. “What can you do, though?” Despite the growing list of hurt players, the Storm are 3-1-0-2 and three points back of the Doug Birks

Division-leading North Okanagan Knights, who have played one more game than Kamloops. On the infirmary list are leading scorer Blake Culbert, defenceman-turned-forward Ryan Skinner and rookie forward Connor

Fortems, who the Storm “are very high on,” said Dewar. Culbert broke his wrist and will miss about five weeks. “Skinner went down against Chase and nobody really knows why,” Dewar said. “He’s on crutches and will only be out a week or 10 days.” The Storm play five consecutive road games starting on Friday, Oct. 5, when Kamloops travels to Sicamous to meet the Eagles. Trips to Spokane, Fruitvale, Grand Forks and Chase will follow before the Storm return home to play Sicamous

on Oct. 20. Fortems is expected to make his debut on the upcoming road swing. Missing from the fold, although not due to injury, is forward Jacky Lu, one of the Storm’s better players from the 2011-2012 campaign. He has yet to play a game this season. “It’s a long, complicated story,” Dewar said. “He’s got to get signed to a card and that should happen within the next few days.” There are no health problems in net, where

Marcus Beesley is 3-2 with a 2.68 goalsagainst average and a .926 save percentage. Kamloops is coming off a pair of weekend losses at McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre — 4-3 to Chase on Friday, Sept. 28, and 3-2 in overtime to Osoyoos on Saturday, Sept. 29. Dewar is hoping the return of a few of his charges will help right the ship. “We’re expecting it to be a challenging road trip but, if we can get Fortems and a couple other guys back, we should be able to weather the storm.”

The TRU WolfPack men’s and women’s soccer teams were undefeated in four weekend games against the UBC Okanagan Heat in Pacific Western Athletic Association (PWAA) play. TRU’s men and women both drew 1-1 with UBCO on Saturday, Sept, 29, with the women playing at Hillside Stadium and the men squaring off in Kelowna, The WolfPack men edged the Heat 1-0 at Hillside on Sunday, Sept. 30, while the women played to a 1-1 draw in the Little Apple. Scoring on the weekend for TRU’s men — who are 3-2-3 on the season and fifth in the PWAA ranks — were Corey Wallis and Oriol Torres, who notched the late winner on Sunday. Courtney Daly and Vanessa Zilkie did the damage for TRU’s women, who boast a 5-2-1 record and sit atop the PWAA standings. Both the Pack’s men and women are on the road this weekend to play Douglas College in Coquitlam and Kwantlen Polytechnic in Surrey.

Swinging the sticks The TRU WolfPack golf team could do no better than seventh place at the third of four PWAA tournaments in Nanaimo on the weekend. With 654 total team strokes, the WolfPack were six spots behind the tournament-winning University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, which shot 588. TRU also finished seventh at the first and second PWAA tournaments, The PWAA season wraps up this weekend with a tournament at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. The top finisher from TRU on the weekend was Chase Broadfoot of Kamloops. He placed 28th with rounds of 79 and 82. Jarred Cailback of Camosun College won the men’s event with a two-round total of 143. Natasha MacKenzie of Kamloops placed fourth in women’s play, shooting 82 and 88. Kate Weir of Douglas College shot 158 over two days to win the championship.

Broncos alive and kicking By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Broncos kept their hopes for a B.C. Football Conference playoff spot alive with a 29-1 victory over the Chilliwack Huskers at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 30. Mike McMaster led the way for Kamloops, racking up 153 rushing yards and a touchdown. Next up for Kamloops is its biggest game of the season, a must-win tilt with the Westshore Rebels of Victoria at Hillside on Saturday, Oct. 6. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Okanagan Sun of Kelowna are holding the fourth and final playoff spot, with games against the 0-7 Chilliwack Huskers and the 6-1-1 Langley Rams remaining on the schedule. Kamloops needs to beat the Rebels on Saturday and the Huskers in Chilliwack on Oct. 13 and hope Okanagan loses one of its remaining two games. The Broncos have lost both their meetings with the Rebels this season — 34-21 on Aug. 12 and 48-41 on Sept. 16. Both games were

played on Vancouver Island. Connor Whitelaw had a solid game under centre for the Broncos on Sunday, completing 14 of 21 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Sean Poeppel and Carter Bilawchuk were on the receiving end of

the touchdown strikes. Wes Black had a 12-yard scamper to paydirt, Aaron Smit kicked four extra points and Mark Discombe recorded a single point on the second half’s opening kickoff. On defence, Adam Nesbitt snatched an interception, as did

Derek Apps and Evan Parr, while Tyler Lee and Grady Chalmers were pressuring the quarterback throughout the game. If Kamloops does manage to make the playoffs, it will be the squad’s first post-season berth since joining the BCFC in 2007.

Blazers enjoy success on Vancouver Island By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Blazers came away with three of a possible four points on a weekend trip to Vancouver Island. Kamloops rode Cole Cheveldave to a 3-0 shutout victory over the Victoria Royals on Sunday, Sept. 30, two days after falling 4-3 in a shootout in the front end of the two-game set. Cheveldave, who suffered a suspected

knee injury against Kelowna in the Blazers’ home opener on Sept. 21, returned to the lineup on Sunday, making 22 saves in his fifth career WHL shutout. Taran Kozun got the start on Friday and played well under fire, stopping 34 of the pucks that came his way. He did, however, make one puck-handling error, which led to a Victoria goal. In 148 minutes of play this season,

Kozun has posted a 2-0-0-1 record, a 2.84 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. Scoring for Kamloops on the weekend were Rob Trzonkowski, Colin Smith, Cole Ully (3) and Marek Hrbas. Ully scored twice in the loss on Friday, while Hrbas notched the tying goal in that game with less than five minutes to play in the third period. Kamloops and Prince George sit tied

atop the B.C. Division with seven points after four games. Victoria holds second spot with six points, while Kelowna, with three points, and Vancouver, with two points, are fourth and fifth, respectively. The Blazers are hosting the Seattle Thunderbirds on Friday, Oct. 5, and the Medicine Hat Tigers on Saturday, Oct. 6. Puck-drop at Interior Savings Centre is scheduled for 7 p.m. both nights.

Vikes win The senior boys’ Valleyview Vikings defeated the Okanagan Mission Huskies 33-0 on Friday, Sept. 29, in Kelowna. The Vikings led 6-0 at halftime and scored 27 unanswered points in the second half. Kaden Degen (2), Ryan Jackson, Mason Harding and Jordin Comeau scored touchdowns for the Vikes. Bryce Taylor recorded 15 tackles and and interception. The Vikings (2-0) travel to Vancouver this week play Eric Hamber in an exhibition tilt.

2013 BC SENIORS GAMES

badminton By D. Mark Crown SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Murray Foubister competes in badminton tournaments all over the world and is looking forward to competing in the B.C. Seniors Games when they come to Kamloops next summer. “It is a good venue for people that play badminton,” he says. “You get like-minded people.” Foubister is just one of many who will be making the trip to Kamloops from across B.C. to compete in 2013. The badminton competition will feature male and female divisions, with six age categories of seniors 55 and above.

There are singles, doubles, mixed doubles and recreational events for those who just wish to participate for love of the game. The objective of the game is to hit the birdie over the net so it lands in your opponent’s court before they can return it. Matches are played best two games out of three, with each game to 21 points. Badminton requires a combination of physical fitness and mental alertness. “Lots of twisting and turning and you travel a lot of distance during your match,” Foubister says. “Badminton is a very strong aerobic fitness level sport that stands on its own.” The local badminton club plays each week at

Pacific Way elementary in Kamloops. Foubister encourages everyone to compete in — and support — the B.C. Seniors Games. “The better you get at it, the more fun you can have just playing it, even if you never go into another competition other than this one,” he says. If you are interested in badminton and would like more information, go online to the Games’ website at bcseniorsgames.org. Foubister is also available. “They can contact me, both for participation in the Games or just to find out where badminton is played in the city.” Contact Foubister by phone at 250-374-6449 or by email at mfoubister@shaw.ca.

Are you ready for the ghosts and goblins? By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Yes, it’s just Oct. 2 and Halloween isn’t for another four weeks — but that hasn’t stopped some planning to make the event memorable. There are homeowners throughout the city planning their annual displays of fright and delight but there are some other public places that are ready to get into the spirit. Tranquille Farms is inviting the public out for its family Halloween nights on Saturday, Oct. 27 and Sunday, Oct. 28. The main attraction will be the corn maze that has been challenging and delighting people in recent weeks, said development manager Tim McLeod. It won’t be frights a la Freddy Krueger — more along the lines of what famed director Alfred Hitchcock might have devised, McLeod said, where there will be some creepy noises but the maze wanderers will have to use their imaginations to conjure up what is making those sounds. “We want you to get scared but not terrified,” he said. The pumpkins will be coming out of the patch, as well, and presented in a way that kids can sit on them, carve them and have some fun. There will also be apple-bobbing and other entertainment. The goal is to keep it family friendly, McLeod said, so admission is $20 for a family of four, $6 for children and $8 for adults. Children need to be accompanied by an adult. McLeod said the farm has been busy since it opened in the summer, with “thousands of people” coming out to take advantage of the Farmers’ Market, the chefs on site whipping up food and the 90-minute historic tours he said cover 6,000 years of history in the area. The tours cost $17 and have to be booked in advance by email to info@ tranquillefarmfresh.ca.

The corn maze at Tranquille Farm will be the centre of action when it is given a spooky makeover for Saturday, Oct. 27 and Sunday, Oct. 28, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be plenty of other Halloween-themed activities for families those nights. George Wycherley/KTW

Tours are at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. McLeod said he expects the market will end on Oct. 28 — judging from how the vegetable gardens are looking these days — and that will be the end of events at Tranquille for a while. “We’ll take a break and then we’ll start planning for Christmas.” The farm has many school trips booked now and has started two-hour photography tours where someone accompanies the shooters and gives the history of what they’re capturing. For the more creative Halloween fan, the Kamloops Farmers’ Market and the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association are sponsoring a scarecrow-building contest on Wednesday, Oct. 3. There is no entry fee; groups just build their scarecrow and bring it to the market between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. There will be an option to build mini-scarecrows at the market as well. Entries in the main contest will be grouped by age or type of group before judging. Individuals will be judged separately and prizes will be awarded. Pre-registration is recommended by going online to kcbia.com. Sahali Mall is hosting a Halloweenthemed fundraiser for two charities in the city. On Friday, Oct. 5, and Saturday, Oct. 6, the mall will be decorated throughout and offer arts and crafts, bouncy castles, a colouring contest, face painters and more, including a haunted house put on by Halloween Alley, which has an outlet in the mall. Participation is by donation with proceeds going to the New Life Mission for its upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. The haunted house has a separate by-donation charge, with those proceeds going to Bald Kids Rule, a local charity that provides support for families of children with cancer.. The events run from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 5 and 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 6.

Making the presentation to KAG executive director Jann Bailey (left) and education and public programs co-ordinator Malaina Buch is community board member Bert Braybrook.

Kamloops projects vie for awards The Pavilion Theatre is again up for an Aviva Community Fund award. Voting in the annual online competition began on Monday, Oct. 1, and continues to Saturday, Oct. 15 in the first round. There are two more rounds of preliminary voting to reduce the number of applicants. Semifinal voting runs from Dec. 3 to Dec. 12 and, once that is complete, finalists will be named and voting continues to Jan. 24. Last year, the Pavilion project made it through to the semifinals but, when it became apparent it wasn’t going to move on to the finals, the people behind the project at Western Canada Theatre encouraged

Kamloopsians to vote for another Kamloops submission — the PIT stop at Kamloops United Church, which eventually won its category. Pavilion Theatre is in the category that will award a grant of up to $100,000. The money would be used for upgrades to the theatre, its rehearsal hall and studio. Other Kamloops projects included in the voting are the Westsyde Water Park in the category of up to $50,000 and a nature playground submitted by the Kamloops Child Development Society in the $100,000 to $150,000 category. Registration is required and can be done online at avivacommunityfund. org/users/registration/

Stuart McLean & the Vinyl Cafe Fall Tour – Live on Stage

It’s all about the kids By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The women behind Found 4 Kids don’t make any money from the venture. But, said Dianne Noble, there are those truly moving moments that tell her she is doing the right thing. Like the dad who came in last December. He had several kids, had lost his job and money was tight. He left with bags of clothes to ensure his kids had something under the tree to unwrap. He also left with tears in her eyes and, Noble said, she had a hard time avoiding them herself. There was the time she was in the outlet at Sahali Mall going through the inventory. There was a small pair of shoes she picked up three times, debating on whether to toss them.

Then came a knock on the door. A mother and little girl stood there. The girl’s shoes were beyond repair, runners that looked more like sandals with Velcro holding them together. She saw the shoes in Dianne’s hands, tried them on and they fit. There was the social worker who came with two children. Their mother had died and, just days after that, they came home to find mom’s boyfriend had changed the locks and wouldn’t let them in. “They went into care with just the clothes on their backs, so they came here to get what they needed,” Noble said. “When we can see kids leaving here with their arms full of clothes they need, that’s our reward.” She and Cindy Croken collect lost-

and-found items from schools, mend and wash them — with help from other volunteers — and then make them available to families in need. The outlet isn’t open to the public; families get referrals from their school principals and make appointments to do their shopping. It’s the second year the outlet has been in operation and already this early in the school year, there have been families coming through. The stock is dependent on whatever is left behind at the end of the school year —and, having seen the racks and bins of clothes, a lot of kids are forgetting sweatshirts, hoodies and coats at school. There are shoes and boots, some expensive name-brand clothes, T-shirts, even dress shirts ideal for kids who are in

school choirs. Croken said teenagers are hard to please when they come in, “but we’ve never had a teen leave with nothing.” The program is approved by the school board and principals have forms with all the contact information. There’s a tear-off sheet they must sign that has to be presented when the families come, but that’s just to ensure those using the outlet are families in need. And, the women agreed, they’re thankful mall management is continuing to let them have the space for free to provide the service. “Sahali Mall has been so great to us,” Noble said. For more information, the program has a Facebook page that can be found by doing a search for Found 4 Kids.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Gilliat packs some surprises By Nigel Hanks SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ever since he was nine years old and picked up his first guitar, John Gilliat has loved entertaining a crowd. This crowd now extends throughout North America and Japan — and Kamloops, as Gilliat returns to the city with a new lineup on Friday, Oct. 5, for a performance at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave. The John Gilliat World Music Ensemble is composed of bassist Brent Gubbels, drummer Lyndon Dewitt and Rossi Tzonkov on guitar and steel drums. Gilliat, who spent several years studying flamenco guitar, describes the sound as “Caribbean-rhumbajazz-rock,” a combination of party genres that will certainly shake up the audience. He is also excited about putting a bit of spin on some classic rock tunes, blending styles for something that he said will be truly unique. Between playing festivals like the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Harmony Arts

Festival and the Robson Valley Music Festival, Gilliat still finds time to record with fellow musician Rossi Tzonkov in another band called Carumba. He anticipates a full album by Dec. 25, one of two being released shortly. John Gilliat won Music West Star Frets Competition’s Best Instrumental Acoustic Guitar Performance in 1996 and released his first independent CD, Freedom, in 1999, followed by Peace in 2002. which was nominated for a West Coast Music Award in the Best Instrumental Release category. He has performed for former prime minister Jean Chretien and his music has been featured in documentaries, films and TV productions. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Dogwood Room at the centre. The doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 (HST and services charges are included) at Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca, or cash at the door. For a sneak peek at what Gilliat can do with a guitar, visit his website at johngilliat.com.

The John Gilliat World Music Ensemble is in Kamloops for a concert on Friday, Oct. 5, at the North Shore Community Centre.

Dance music at Cactus Jack’s tonight Young Empires, a band critics have compared in sound to The Killers, Arcade Fire and Yeasayer, will be in Kamloops today (Oct. 2) with Dragonette for a show at Cactus Jack’s Saloon, 130 Fifth Ave. The three-piece band uses synthesizer tones to supplement its guitar and bass to

create dance music that feature some soulful guitar licks. Some of their music has been incorporated into the fashion industry, with Glory of the Night being used by French fashion/music label Kitsune Maison 10 and Against the Wall used in a fashion video.

The band has performed in Europe, the U.S. and across Canada, sharing the stage with acts including Jamiroquai and Chromeo. Its live performance at the NXNE Festival was named in the top 10 out of more than 500 bands. Also performing will be Data

Responsive, Reliable, Professional

Romance. Dragonette is an electronic-music band from Toronto touring to promote its third studio album, Bodyparts, which was released two weeks ago. Tickets are $15 in advance at Mountain High Pizza, 314 Victoria St., or $20 at the door.

Chevrolet makes Trax into CUV segment

ITH ITS WORLD PREMIERE LAST WEEK AT THE PARIS MOTOR SHOW, THE 2013 TRAX BRINGS CHEVROLET’S FLEET OF SMALL-VEHICLE CHOICES TO FIVE. Starting in November, the 2013 Trax CUV will join Spark, Sonic, Orlando and Cruze in Chevy showrooms across Canada. There will be four trim levels — LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ. The red-hot Canadian CUV market is where buyers expect utility along with increasing levels of content such as connectivity and luxury appointments — but not at excessive cost. We have all seen how Korean carmakers have risen from barebones transportation to world-class cars and trucks and GM has benefitted from this. As owners of the former Daewoo company, the Korean work ethic and near obsessive drive to excel is shown in the design/engineering details of its GM offerings like the new Trax. Utility is served with no less than eight different seating/cargo possibilities. For example, the front-passenger seat folds flat for long items. In addition to a 358-litre trunk JIM ROBINSON (785 litres with second row 60/40 First split/fold seat flat), there are variDRIVE ous bins/cubbies above and on both sides of the centre stack, as well as a tray under the passenger seat. Further stowage can be made available under the cargo floor. It also has four, inline cupholders between the front seats — the first time I’ve ever seen this. The interior is offered in two-tone colours besides the standard allover black once so prevalent in GM’s Korea vehicles. The main gauge-ccluster design is borrowed from the Chev Sonic, with a motorcycle-like round tach with an attached digital readout that has everything from speed to several drive- information readouts. The top two trim levels will feature Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system that aggregates content from smartphones onto a seven-inch, high-resolution, full-colour touchscreen display. By winter, MyLink will feature a navigation app which can be downloaded onto compatible smartphones. It will project the route calculated by the smartphone onto the system’s touch-screen. Based on the Sonic platform, Trax is 4,248 millimetres in length, with a width of 1,776 millimetres and a wheelbase of 2,555 millimetres. In an interesting aside at the press launch in Sonoma, Cakuf., GM presenters noted that, only a few years ago, there were six or more different versions of the corporate golden bowtie badge with varying shades of gold. Today, there is only version used on everything Chevrolet makes, so you know it is a Chevy immediately. Trax also comes with a full suite of driver/vehicle safety features including 10 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) including hill-start assist (HSA), traction control (TC), an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution.

Hill-descent control (HDC) is standard on all models. Motive power is a turbocharged 1.4-litre, twincam fourcylinder engine producing 138 horsepower and 148 poundfeet of torque with a standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission. Towing is not recommended.

Front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard with optional allwheel-drive on all but the base LS. With FWD models, there are front disc brakes with drums rear but four discs on the AWD. X See TRAX B8

Equinox, the back seat was more than ample for a person my size. Ergo three abreast might possible, but not comfortable on a long haul. I found one thing vexing and that was the outside mirrors. Each had a small, round convex minimirror at the outside corner. Put there to help

give a wider view of traffic behind, it was located in my line of sight, resulting in two images of the same car behind, making it confusing at a quick glance. Having said that, the Trax I was driving was a pre-production model from Korea and the mirrors were the kind they use over there. I am assuming the

There were no fuel ratings for the AWD available at the press launch but for the FWD manual it is 7.8/5.7/6.9L/100 km city/highway/ combined and 8.1/5.9/7.1 for the automatic. Even though it’s a turbo, Trax runs on regular gasoline. Driving the AWD and FWD versions I couldn’t notice any real difference, except in the suspension. The FWD did not exhibit any front end plowing but the AWD had some. For some reason, the suspension on the FWD seemed a bit taughter, notably in the tight, downhill switchbacks which abound there. I think it is probably due to the AWD adding just under 100 kilograms, thus more weight/compression on the springs and shocks. Steep ascents under load resulted in the transmission shifting down significantly in order to make the climb. On the flat and fast Highway 101 south of Sonoma, it was a difference story, with the Trax (in AWD) having sufficient power for sharp lane changes amid the hoards of wandering Californians on their cellphones talking and not looking. Despite being visually smaller than the

mirrors we get may be more conventional. I should have asked, but, honestly, I forgot. Pricing was not announced in California and won’t be until sometime in November. No one at Chevrolet would admit it and I’ll bet that’s because they’re probably still crunching the numbers, as pricing will be critical in the compact CUV arena coming up against the likes of RAV4, CR-V, Escape, Sportage, Tucson, Crosstrek and Journey, just to mention a few. Chevrolet looks at Trax as the junior member of its threemember CUV fleet that includes Equinox in the middle and Traverse at the top. I see it as making Chevrolet dealers a one-stop shop for five small vehicles each designed to satisfy the wide range of wants and needs. Either way, Chevrolet seems to be on the right Trax.

Viper costs nears six The Canadian manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2013 SRT Viper model has been announced as $99,995 (excluding destination). The SRT Viper offers a blend of extreme performance and deliberate preservation of what has become the iconic DNA of the Viper to deliver a supercar that continues to bring the driver as close as possible to the machine Canadian MSRP for the 2013 SRT Viper GTS model will start $119,995 (excluding destination) The SRT Viper GTS builds on the DNA of

the SRT Viper model with more technologically advanced solutions, like two-mode active suspension, to allow this world-class GTS to find new capabilities on the track while also opening up its envelope as a more premium and mature evolution of the classic, extreme performance formula Under the hood of both models is the allaluminum, mid-front 8.4-litre V10 engine that delivers 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque — the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports-car engine in the world.

The design with the three side windows is taut and concentrated. The distinguishing element at the front of the A3 Sportback is the distinctive, stone grey single-frame grille with its angled upper corners. Thanks to the increase in wheelbase length, the Sportback offers ample rear seat space and easy access for three adults. It also offers several millimetres more head and leg room than its predecessor.

Crown of Curling helps Feed the Valley The Valley First Crown of Curling has partnered with Feed the Valley, Valley First Credit Union’s hunger-fighting program. The Kamloops Curling Club has been collecting food-bank donations for a number of years; however, the partnership with Feed the Valley will mean the food bank can help even more people in need in the Kamloops area. “We are grateful for the consistent support of Valley First and the creative ideas that have unfolded through this campaign,” said Bernadette Siracky, executive director of the Kamloops Food Bank. ‘ “The thoughtful efforts ensure that we can feed each person who comes to our door. This is a true example of corporate social responsibly in action.” Len Bosch, chairman of the organizing committee for this year’s Crown, agrees bringing Feed the Valley on board is good for the Crown and good for the community. “We know the Crown has great economic spinoff for Kamloops and the surrounding area,” says Bosch. “Partnering with Feed the Valley will allow us to create some tremendous community spinoffs, too.” During the Crown, Valley First employees will be there to collect food and cash donations. All proceeds will go to the Kamloops Food Bank. Since March 2010, Feed the Valley has raised more than $10,000 and 1,400 pounds of food for the food bank. Launched to coincide with hunger awareness month in March 2010, Feed the Valley is a corporate citizenship program created by Valley First. Feed the Valley aims to raise food, funds and awareness for local food banks. With the ultimate goal of eliminating hunger through the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson valleys, Feed the Valley has raised more than $300,000 since its inception.

TEAM-UP TO SUPPORT

Open-ﬁre TUESDAY ban extended The summer-like September has resulted in the open-fire ban in Kamloops to be extended through Halloween or until the public is informed otherwise. Kamloops Fire Centre officials say open-fire prohibitions in the Kamloops Fire Centre will be extended to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. Due to recent warm and dry weather, 70 per cent of the region remains at a “high” or “extreme” fire-danger rating. Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton, Merritt and Lillooet fire zones: Category 20 and category 3 open fires are prohibited at all elevations until Oct. 31. A map of the affected areas is available online at http://bit.ly/Rl2J35. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go online to http://bcwildfire.ca.

GLORIA LORRAINE FRASER (née Martinson)

July 29, 1926 ~ September 27, 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gloria Fraser. Gloria was predeceased by her husband Don and brother Fred. She is survived by her son Terry Brown (Carol), grandchildren Kevin Brown (Yvonne) and Lisa Ellis (Rod), great-grandchildren Andrew, Matthew, Jeffrey Brown; sister-inlaw Grace Falk and nephew Barry Martinson.

In 1964 the family moved to Sorrento BC, and then to Kamloops in 1966. There they were involved in Pinesprings development in Westsyde and operated the Kamloops Music Box for several years. After selling this business, they returned to Sorrento to farm, garden and enjoy retirement. Vern was active in the Sorrento community and the “Sorrento Silvertones” band.

She was born in Calgary and raised in Vancouver. With Don she had a wonderful life Älled with mountains, forests, wildlife and pristine wilderness. This led to their operation of Lakeshore Pet Boarding where she provided care for pets and wild animals. In retirement, Gloria and Don came to live in Kamloops where they worked tirelessly to improve the plight of animals who were mistreated or in need. She became SPCA branch vice-president; was a founding member of the interior BC Sled Dog Association and she wrote the weekly newspaper column, “Animal Update”.

Recently,Vern and Doreen lived at Berwick on the Park in Kamloops. Through his life,Vern was an active member of the Elks Lodge, the Legion, and the United Church.Vern was well-respected by all who knew him. He liked to say “You can take the boy away from the farm but you can’t take the farm out of the boy”.

She loved music and dancing; was involved in the Kamloops Ballroom Dance & Vaudeville Society; founded the tap dancing group “The Happy Tappers”, and the Kamloops Swing and Jazz Society. Teaching dance and her love of music delighted her the most.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Overlander Extended Care Hospital for their loving care for Vern. In memorium, please consider making a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Thank you to all the care aides at High Country Health Care who made it possible for Gloria to remain in her home as she desired.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 1:00 PM in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops BC.
