ERRY SULLIVAN WANTS TO MAKE ONE thing perfectly clear. If Kamloops students are offered year-round schooling — and that’s a big if — it’s going to change a lot more than summer-vacation plans for families. “When you start looking at different [scheduling] structures, it starts to have a trickle-down effect in a lot of ways,” the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s superintendent, told KTW. “I don’t think parents really understand how radical this could be if changes were to be made.” In April, the provincial government enacted legislation giving more flexibility to individual school districts when it comes time to scheduling the school year. Last week, a regulation was issued, putting the calendar
in the hands of the districts themselves. Basically, Sullivan said, it’s now up to district officials to decide when the school year begins, when it ends and when breaks take place in-between — a task that had, until now, been undertaken by the province. “The only thing that’s going to be in place is the number of teaching hours,” Sullivan said. “How you configure those hours will be up to the boards.” Next year, if all goes according to Sullivan’s plan, the
‘I don’t think parents really understand how radical this could be, if changes were to be made.’ — TERRY SULLIVAN SD73 SUPERINTENDENT
Kamloops-Thompson school district will follow a standard school schedule. He said the 2013-2014 calendar has to be completed by the end of February, which doesn’t leave enough time for district officials to do their homework concerning any drastic changes. “I think it’s almost impossible to have a broad public discussion and make all kinds of changes to the school calendar and have it done by then,” Sullivan said. “We want to have a very broad discussion with the public.” That process will likely begin in late December with a public meeting. After that, Sullivan said, he would like to see the district put together “four or five different models” of what a yearround school calendar — or any other altered school year — might look like.

Differing views on alcohol applications By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A seniors’ centre in Brocklehurst will likely get the go-ahead from city council to begin serving alcohol, but a downtown club’s bid to expand its operations isn’t getting the same warm welcome. Staff are encouraging council to deny an application from Cactus Jack’s Nightclub to increase its capacity to 625 from 495, including staff, citing concerns from Kamloops RCMP and the city’s socialplanning council. According to a report, the nightclub was served an overcapacity notice in April, when 611 people were inside the bar — though Cactus Jack’s is contesting the infraction. Mounties are also concerned added capacity could put more people on the city
streets during the barflush period and make it harder to clear out the downtown after hours. Similar concerns were raised by the social-planning council. However, both groups have indicated they may eventually be open to an expansion of Cactus Jack’s, provided the club can go a year without another licensing infraction. Staff are also recommending the club look at a number of crowdcontrol measures, such as providing shuttles to Thompson Rivers University at closing, adding video surveillance and installing barricades at the edge of the sidewalk to keep patrons off the street. But, in a letter to council, Cactus Jack’s owners said many of those requirements are already in place and called the bar-flush issue “to some extent irrelevant.”
The club owns the liquor licence for the defunct Rivers Night Club, which has a capacity of 250 people, and has offered to cancel that if the city agrees to its request. That would reduce the potential number of people able to be served liquor in the downtown by 115. Meanwhile, on the North Shore, a liquorlicence application from the Centre for Seniors Information is seeing more support from city staff. The centre, located in the Brock Shopping Centre, is looking to become a licensed private club with a 110-person capacity so it can offer alcohol at special events. Council is being advised to support the application, since there are already two pubs in the area and a growing number of seniors living in the neighbourhood.

Pot luck for couple in grow-op bust By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A married Kamloops couple will walk without criminal charges after police uncovered a marijuana-grow operation on their property — and then dismantled it without a search warrant. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said two officers working on an unrelated investigation in Barnhartvale on Sunday, Nov. 18, were alerted to a home on Country Place after noticing a strong “vegetative odour” in the area. The Mounties knocked on the door and spoke to a 51-year-old Kamloops man and his 47-year-old wife, who apparently admitted to having a 100plant grow-op and four rifles in an outbuilding on their property. Learned said the officers dismantled
the grow-op and seized the firearms — which the owners agreed to relinquish. Because it was all done without a warrant, Learned said any charges against the couple not have stood up in court. “It’s not a case where the Crown would likely approve charges,” he said, noting a 100-plant grow-op would result in criminal charges in other circumstances. “They would have been required to obtain a warrant,” Learned said of the officers involved. “In this particular case, they were on the property when the grow-op was discovered.” Learned said police had received no previous complaints from neighbours about the marijuana-grow operation, noting neither of the growers were previously known to police.
Wired in on finding owner Investigators are hoping information from the public will help them track down the rightful owner of a large coil of heavy-duty copper wire found in a Sahali backyard on the weekend. Learned said the discovery was made just after 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17, when a woman living in a house on Carmel Court noticed the copper on her property. She called police, who determined it was likely stolen from a construction site or work truck. Learned said investigators haven’t been able to link the wire to any recent reports of stolen copper, but think its unique characteristics and markings will make it easily identifiable. Anyone with information about the theft or wire is asked to call police at 250-828-3000.

Accused in pool-cue attack expected to enter plea next month By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Thompson Rivers University student from Saudi Arabia accused of plunging a pool cue into his friend’s brain during a fight at a Kamloops nightclub isn’t expected to enter a plea until next month. Yousef Mohammed Almotairi is facing one count each of assault with a weapon and aggravated assault. Court documents allege the 26-year-old assaulted his friend,
Abdulaziz Alhedaib, with a pool cue. According to police, the assault took place at Cactus Jack’s nightclub just after 1 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3. Mounties have said Alhedaib, 28, punched Almotairi, who struck back with a pool cue. Shortly after the incident, police said Alhedaib — also a Thompson Rivers University international student from Saudi Arabia — suffered severe brain trauma. He was said to be in critical but stable
condition following the incident. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned told KTW this week he cannot provide an update on
Alhedaib’s condition because Royal Inland Hospital officials “have not been provided a consent waiver by the family” to update police on his health.
Learned said Alhedaib’s family travelled to Kamloops from Saudi Arabia after the incident and has since returned home.

Councillors to get first look at planned RIH expansion By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops city council is getting its first look today (Nov. 20) at a plan for a new sevenstorey clinical-services building that will add 350 parking stalls at Royal Inland Hospital. While a spokesperson with the Interior Health Authority said the drawings are preliminary — detailed designs will come after a business case for the building is submitted to the province this winter — they offer a basic plan for the $80-million building. According to a staff report, the new building will contain a floor of retail space at ground level, two floors for clinical services and three floors for parking, as well as a floor of mechanical equipment. In addition to 350 vehicle stalls, the new building will also contain parking spaces for 50 bicycles — and can be reconfigured to hold up to 90, depending on demand. It will cover much of the hospital’s front lawn
and drawings show it will require the removal of 21 trees. Eight “memorial trees” will be relocated. To offset the loss of greenery, the new building will have a “green roof” planted with shrubs and grasses. From the street, pedestrians will enter the building at the corner of Third Avenue and Columbia Street, take an elevator to the building’s upper floors and walk through a glass skywalk to RIH’s main building. An outdoor staircase on the west end of the site will also connect to the hospital and a sidewalk and pick-up and drop-off zone for motorists would be added to the portion of Columbia Street now served by a pathway through hospital property. Funding for the new building, the first phase of a $400-million redevelopment, was announced in July by Premier Christy Clark. In addition to covering a parking shortfall of more than 200 spaces, the clinical-services building will house
cardiology, neurology, renal and respiratory programs and provide teaching space for UBC medical programs. IHA project manager Martin Deheer and architect Ken Johnson are set to speak about the project at today’s council meeting.

Your plate data is not being shared By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Motorists parking in downtown Kamloops don’t have to worry that bylaw-enforcement officers are sharing their licence-plate data with the RCMP — unless their car has been stolen. Under a new directive from B.C.’s information and privacy commissioner, Victoria Police will no longer be allowed to share licence-plate data unconnected to criminal activity with the RCMP. In that city, licenceplate data collected from car-mounted cameras is turned over to the RCMP by the Victoria force at the end
of each day. The data dump included information on cars that could be connected to criminal activities. But, it also included information on vehicles whose owners had not run afoul of the law, what is called a “nonhit.” It’s the non-hit data transfer that has Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham crying foul. “Non-hit data is personal information about the suspicionless activities of citizens — information that the police have no reason to believe relates to criminal activity. This information
is not serving a law enforcement purpose,” Denham said in a release. According to media reports, Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham has suggested in the past that the data — which includes the time and location at which an image of a licence plate was snapped — should be stored to create a database for checking alibis. Instead, Denham said, police should be deleting licence-plate data as soon as it’s registered as a non-hit. While Kamloops uses similar licenceplate reading technology for parking control, community safety and
enforcement manager Jon Wilson told KTW, there’s only one circumstance in which data collected by the readers is shared with the RCMP. “We download a database of stolen automobile licence plates from the B.C. Crime Prevention Association’s website and that’s populated into our database so that, if we come across one of those vehicles, it’ll flash up and we contact the RCMP to say that it’s come up,” Wilson said. He added that bylaw services only stores licence-plate data when a vehicle has been ticketed for a violation. Data on legally parked
vehicles is destroyed. Information that is held is stored with the city and not shared with the Mounties. Wilson said.

To the Community of Kamloops, On September 1, 2012 KGHM International Ltd., a Canadian based wholly owned subsidiary of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A., became the operator of the Ajax Copper-Gold Project. Formerly known as Quadra FNX Mining Ltd., we currently operate six mines in Canada, United States and Chile and are advancing two other development projects: the Sierra Gorda project in Chile, which is in the late stages of construction and is scheduled to begin production in early 2014, and the Victoria project in Sudbury, Ontario, which is in the permitting process and is in an advanced exploration state of development. At the time we were appointed the Ajax Copper-Gold Project’s operator we began a thorough evaluation of all social, environmental, health, technical, economic and other aspects that could potentially impact the community and the proposed project. We have dedicated all necessary resources, both internal and external, to ensure that our approach to the development of this project is socially and environmentally responsible, innovative yet sound, and technically viable. We are committed to earning the social license needed to develop this project and to gain your community’s trust by demonstrating that we will build and operate the Ajax mine according to the same high standards to which we conduct all of our operations.

HE BACKGROUND colour is the same, the very hue — blue — that defines the mood of the industry of the business that once called this building home. What was once Blockbuster Video in Sahali is now Bookland Warehouse as the printed-word dealer sets up books where DVDs once lived in an attempt to determine if, in this age of downloads and uploads, this temporary outlet becomes business by the book — if enough people buy a book. When Blockbuster closed as part of the death of the Canadian portion of the once-mighty chain, it marked a seismic shift in the movie-rental habits of Kamloopsians, a shift that continued with the closure shortly thereafter of nearby Rogers Video. The chain collapse has left the city with two independent video stores with two locations each, both of which soldier on in the face of Netflix, cable and bit torrent services that multiply by the day. Blockbuster’s building sat empty for some time, its blue awnings a sad reminder of healthier (and happier) days gone by. Sure, turning on the Wii or ordering a flick via your TV for a few bucks is easier. But, it will never replace the satisfying experience of taking the family to a bricks-and-mortar store and setting loose the kids to pick out a couple of movies while you try to find that perfect sleeper among the hundreds of boxes staring out at you, DVD boxes on movie-store
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS shelves are the celluloid sister to album art in the days before CDs and iTunes. There were rumours that the Blockbuster building at the corner of Notre Dame Drive and Columbia Street would be home to a Browns Socialhouse restaurant and an adjacent sushi eatery. Apparently, trendy dining gave way to bestsellers in the leasing game — and we definitely need more of the latter in Kamloops. To see a bookstore open in an empty building in 2012 is to receive a jolt of hope that maybe, just maybe, there remains room in this digital age for the traditional. Books, unlike their electronic companions that exist in hard drives and appear as cold, impersonal text on finite screens, breathe life into a room, lined as they are, like blood brothers, along shelves of the living rooms of the well-read. Of course, ebooks are here to stay and will only continue to carve out a larger share of sales. The National Book Count in January found that 10 per cent of
all English-language books sold in Canada are ebooks. They are generally cheaper and their electronic format allows one to “carry” dozens and dozens of tomes on a device not much larger than a cellphone — or on a cellphone. Still, there remains something special about holding a book, feeling its sheets, revelling in the disparate aromas of pages hot off the press or unopened for years. Novelist Jonathan Franzen, author of blockbuster bestsellers The Corrections and Freedom, holds firmly to the bound book and makes his disdain for ebooks clear. “Maybe nobody will care about printed books 50 years from now, but I do,” Franzen said at a gathering in Colombia this year. “When I read a book, I’m handling a specific object in a specific time and place. The fact that when I take the book off the shelf, it still says the same thing, that’s reassuring. “I think, for serious readers, a sense of permanence has always been part of the experience.” There may come a day when a Kindle or some other e-reader lands in my lap and I become a digital convert. But, I still cannot envision a day ending without the sound of pages turning, illuminated not by a batteryoperated device, but by a bedside lamp focused on ink and paper. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds
“Hamas has been trying to maintain calm in Gaza and extend a ceasefire agreement with Israel, but it has little control over various radical jihadi groups who build popular support by making utterly futile rocket attacks on Israel. “Even if they kill a few Israelis, so what? How does that serve the cause? “So then Hamas fired a few of its own rockets into Israel, and Israel retaliated massively, and we were off to the races once again. “A complete cock-up and a pointless waste of lives.” Those are the words of KTW’s global-affairs columnist Gwynne Dyer, whose column on the carnage in the Middle East can be found online at kamloopsthisweek. com. Dyer is correct — the entire scenario involves a pointless waste of lives as, even when a ceasefire is again reached, the situation between Israelis and Palestinians will not change. The West Bank and Gaza will remain, as will Israel, and it will be only a matter of time until the next skirmish takes more innocent lives. What is interesting is the content of emails sent to KTW since the rockets started flying. Some (but not many) have been 100 per cent critical of Hamas’s actions; others have been 100 per cent critical of Israel’s reaction. The problem with the authors of these emails is that this entire mess is the fault of both sides. One can point to Israel’s treatment of Palestinians over land and occupied territories. One can also point to the decision by those in Gaza to launch rockets into Israel, knowing full well a retaliatory strike would result — and knowing full well the innocent people of Hamas have nowhere to run to for safety. Laying all the blame at the feet of Israel or Hamas is like engaging in a political chicken-and-egg argument — one can continue to go back until the beginning of time to unearth the party that started the latest mini-war. The fact is, neither deserves unreserved support when innocents from both sides die for no sensible reason whatsoever.

Editor: To think we still have people roaming Canada and B.C. who think it is their right to take a perfectly healthy animal and put him in a pen for people to observe makes us concerned whether or not we are mentally capable of living on this planet. There is no warden or government leader who will convince us that if Clover (the slave name they gave to the Kermode bear at the B.C. Wildlife Park) were to be flown 400 miles north, he would come back. He might die. He might live. But, it’s not our right to decide. He’s not encroaching on us. We already encroached on him and now he’s the one to blame and the one who gets locked up. The ones who should be locked up are those who show their ignorance and stupidity to think Clover should be locked up to begin with. Free the Spirit bear. Paula James and David Shaw Kamloops
Re: Tourism Kamloops likes this Destination: “If the tourism industry in Kamloops wants international visitors, it should promote Super Natural BC, not imprisoning a Spirit bear in a Kamloops zoo jail. “The B.C government should also get back to promoting viewing the diversity of wildlife in their natural homes. “That is truly conservation education. “Watching this bear pace back and forth and back and forth only promotes speciesism. “The B.C. Liberals must properly inform the public that the bear can be safely returned to the wild.” — posted by Peter Hamilton
Re: Letter: Wireless water meters are available: “There should be no fee for keeping existing meters. “The homeowner can read the meter and inform the utility company or city of the numbers. The savings from keeping the existing meter is more than enough to warrant the city or utility company to do a verification reading if there is a concern consumption is below the expected equal payment plan yearly breakdown.” — posted by Serge Vaillancourt
laws of the road over the years. What I find is most are more than willing to learn how to be better drivers. However, the same is not true with most drivers out there. The KTW article quoted statistics that noted 65 per cent of older drivers fail in-
office and road tests. What I see is that most drivers on the road would never pass a road test if given one. I have videotaped drivers while training others and it is shameful to see how most people drive today. Speed, aggressive driving and lack of due care and attention
are common. Before we look at how seniors drive, maybe we should look at how most of us drive. I put a challenge to any driver out there to see how they would do on a road test. If they were to fail, should they have their licence taken away, leaving them stranded,

City council looks at toughening fire bylaw Backyard burning could get more expensive in the Tournament Capital. At today’s (Nov. 20) regular meeting, Kamloops city council will look at a number of tweaks to the fire-prevention bylaw, including an increased fee for burning permits. The fee would rise from $50 to $100 and permits would still only be issued for properties that are one acre or larger in size. In another change, residents looking to set off fireworks in the city would have to take a safety course to obtain a discharge permit. A report to council says the move is meant to cut down on the number of fires started on neighbouring properties due to unsafe use of fireworks, as well as other related injuries.

Much to consider with school calendar change X From A1
Then would come the input from parents, teachers, maintenance staff, contractors, daycare providers, youth sports groups and any other interested parties. Sullivan expects plenty of feedback from a variety of groups. “It’s so complex,” he said. “I think it’s a lot more complex than people understand. “It’s not only the issue of vacations — it’s simple things people haven’t even thought of.” For instance, Sullivan said, schools don’t sit empty all summer. The district’s maintenance department, including various local contractors, take advantage of the two-month break to make sure the buildings are ready for the next influx of kids in September. Roofing repairs, for example, would be much more challenging to complete during a snowy one-month break in
December than during two months of sunny summer heat, Sullivan said. “And, that’s just one aspect of it,” he said. “There’s a lot to consider.” Child-care providers might have to change their staffing levels. Minor baseball or soccer teams might have to re-schedule tournaments. And, of course, summer-vacation plans for families might become more limited. One form yearround schooling might take, if it were to be implemented in the Kamloops-Thompson school district, is on display in the Lower Mainland — and has been for nearly a decade. Spul’u’kwuks elementary in Richmond operates on a yearround calendar. The school year starts in September and runs through November, when students are given a onemonth break. They re-convene in January and classes continue though March.
Students then get April off. Classes start again in May — just as most students are counting down the days and getting amped up about summer break — and run through July, when the school year ends. Spul’u’kwuks students get August off, and return for a new year in September. “We go the same number of days that all elementary schools go and we balance the terms,” Spul’u’kwuks’ principal Darlene Shandola told KTW. “Some people find that it doesn’t fit their personal situation, but some people find that it has a lot of benefits.” One benefit, Shandola said, is evident in the classroom. Students who take three short breaks per school year, as opposed to one long break, retain more of what they learned the previous year. “We find that it’s good for students,” Shandola said. “For some kids, the summer break is too
long of a break from school. “For them, the three shorter breaks work better.” Sullivan agreed, noting knowledge retention is one of the issues B.C. superintendents discussed during a meeting about yearround schooling five years ago. “We looked at it quite closely, but we didn’t have any authority, so we looked at it and kind of put it away,” he said. “But, with shorter breaks, we found we had better retention of what was learned.” There’s no shortage of data on non-traditional school years, Sullivan said, with many European countries having departed from the long-summer-break model years ago. He’s even had some experience himself while working in Yellowknife. “We had good weather from June to August, so we started our year in early

DePape bids tearful adieu to Blazer teammates Once-promising Blazer feels ‘empty’ after decision to go under the knife in Winnipeg By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

“I just started bawling. Then I stood up and gave a speech to the young guys, telling them to enjoy every moment because it goes by fast and one day you’re going to miss it.” — Jordan DePape Allen Douglas/KTW
WO DAYS after letting his teammates know his career with the Kamloops Blazers is over, Jordan DePape has been able to let it all sink in. “I feel pretty empty,” DePape said. “I’ve never felt like this before.” DePape has elected to have surgery on his injured right shoulder — a decision that will likely end his juniorhockey career. The 20-year-old right winger returned from left-shoulder surgery last season, scoring 14 points in 14 regular-season games and adding 13 points in 11 playoff games. DePape missed six games earlier this season with a minor injury to his right shoulder and returned to action, only to separate the same shoulder on Nov. 11 against the Portland Winterhawks. “It’s not fair to myself or my body and also I don’t think that it’s fair to the team,” said DePape, who racked up 98 points in 120 games with the Blazers after being acquired via trade from the Brandon Wheat Kings in December of 2009. “The surgery is something I have to do or I’m going to keep getting injured.” The Winnipeg prod-
uct and Blazer brass knew he was likely done for the season before Kamloops played Portland at ISC on Friday, Nov. 16. DePape did not want to distract his teammates with the news, so he sat on it until after Saturday’s (Nov. 17) game, when head coach Guy Charron addressed the team in the locker room. “Guy quickly went over the game and he started saying a great speech about me and the tough decision that had to be made,” DePape said. “I just started bawling. “Then I stood up and gave a speech to the young guys, telling them to enjoy every moment because it goes by fast and one day you’re going to miss it.” DePape received great news on Monday, Nov. 19. He had told Craig Heisinger, senior vicepresident, director of hockey operations and assistant general manager of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, about his shoulder injury and the decision to leave Kamloops. Heisinger, a friend of the DePapes’, was able to pull some strings. “I got a call from the Jets’ athletic therapist today and I have an appointment with a surgeon and a surgery date,” DePape said. “Maybe a miracle can happen and I can
be playing hockey somewhere again this season.” DePape will go under the knife on Monday, Nov. 26. The odds of a return to junior hockey are not great, DePape conceded. “If it doesn’t happen, my junior memories have been phenomenal,” he said. DePape, a Type 1 diabetic, has always been a great ambassador for the Blazers. He often worked with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation while in Kamloops and toured the nation with Canadian country-music star George Canyon in the off-season, encouraging those with the disease to pursue their dreams. His hockey dreams, it seems, have been put on hold and might never materialize as he once had hoped. With the Blazers sitting atop the WHL and poised to make noise in the playoffs, the decision to leave the team was not made any easier. “Hockey has been part of my life forever and to let my junior career end like this is harder than I could ever imagine, but my health is my No. 1 priority.” said DePape, who will likely play hockey at the University of Manitoba next season and study criminology, with eyes on a career as a policeman.

Reeling in a Rebel By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
There will be many across the hockey world who question Kamloops Blazer GM Craig Bonner’s decision to acquire Charles Inglis from the Red Deer Rebels. “He’s had some situations in the past,” said Bonner, who sent a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft to Red Deer in exchange for Inglis on Monday, Nov. 19. “That’s no secret.” Inglis, 20, left both the Saskatoon Blades and Prince George Cougars on less-thanamicable terms, with many believing the now 20-year-old forward is disruptive in the dressing room. When Rebels’ owner and GM Brent Sutter fired Jesse Wallin last week and took over his post behind the Red Deer bench, he also sent Inglis home to Saskatoon to await a trade. Bonner said he has
done enough research to feel comfortable acquiring Inglis, whose on-ice ability is not in question. “In talking to Jesse Wallin, he said he would have [Inglis] on his team any time,” Bonner said. “If he plays the way we think he can and he’s the person we’ve been told he was in Red Deer, we’ll have no problems.” Inglis had racked up 11 goals and 14 points in 21 games this season with the Rebels before he was sent packing to Saskatoon. “In Red Deer, there were no issues, as far as discipline goes,” Bonner said. So, why would Sutter trade him away? One source told KTW his style of leadership might have been too gruff in Red Deer, where the Rebels are working from the ground up with an inexperienced lineup. Sutter himself decided to let fans read between the lines in an interview with the

for 10 games during his stint with the Cougars for an elbowing incident that left Victoria Royals’ forward Tyler Stahl in a heap on the ice in October of 2011.

Not surprisingly, Game 6 of last season’s Western Conference semifinal — a thrilling 7-6 win over Portland — is a highlight for DePape. “Game 6, that was just an amazing feeling,” said DePape, who had a goal and an assist in that game, following up a four-point performance in Game 5. “But, the overall highlight is just all the time spent with the guys . . . joking around with Guy. “Those are the moments I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.”
Pats in town The Regina Pats will be at Interior Savings
Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 21, to play the Kamloops Blazers. Puck-drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. Regina (10-12-1-1) is tied for third in the Eastern Conference’s East Division. The league-leading Blazers (19-5-0-1) are in the midst of a sevengame homestead.
Player of the week Colin Smith of the Kamloops Blazers is the Denny’s WHL player of the week for the second time this season. The Edmonton-born forward racked up one goal and seven points in two Blazers’ wins on the weekend — a 6-4 victory over the Portland Winterhawks on Friday, Nov. 16, and a 5-4 shootout win
over the Prince George Cougars on Saturday, Nov. 17. The 19-year-old Colorado Avalanche draft pick also won the

Inglis thrilled with trade X From A14
Inglis was sent back to Saskatoon later that year after disobeying team rules following a Cougars-Blazers game in Kamloops. KTW caught up with Inglis on Monday afternoon. He was saying all the right things and sounded genuinely excited about the trade. “It’s a first-class organization and they’ve got a first-class team there,” said Inglis, who has amassed 92 goals and 172 points in 279 regular-season WHL games. “I’m glad I can be a part of it.” Inglis is well aware of his reputation. “There’s not too much I can say about it,” he said. “I think my actions speak louder than words
and I proved that in Red Deer. “I tried to take on that role in the community and take on the role as a team player and a leader on the team. “I know I’m going to bring that to Kamloops and there won’t be any worries when it comes to that situation.” Bonner said the Blazers were in need of secondary scoring to take some of the attention away from the explosive line of Colin Smith between JC Lipon and Tim Bozon. “I really thought we were in need of a top-six forward,” the Blazers’ GM said. “Ideally, someone to play with [Brendan] Ranford.” Inglis and Ranford played summer hockey together in Alberta and have kept in touch over
the years. “He makes a lot of plays and he creates a lot of room out there,” Inglis said of Ranford. “I see myself as a gritty forward. I battle real hard and I’m a guy that can put the puck in the net. “I like to finish my checks, too, and make my presence felt.” Inglis will be looking to make an immediate impact on Wednesdy, Nov. 21, when the Regina Pats come to Interior Savings Centre. Puck-drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. “I’ve played in that rink a lot and had some success with the Cougars,” Inglis said. “I really look forward to getting on the other side of things and sticking it back to them, too.”

Website soon for Internet-voting panel Celebration of By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s panel on Internet voting is getting closer to having a web presence of its own. Appointed by Elections BC in September at the request of Attorney General Shirley Bond, the five-member panel is tasked with studying Internet-based voting for provincial and local government elections in the province. A website for the panel was
promised and Elections BC spokesman Don Main said it should go live at either the end of November or the beginning of December. “We are working on that,” he said, noting the site will include information on online voting, the panel’s mandate and its makeup. There will also be a section for public feedback and submissions. The panel has met twice so far, in September and earlier this month, and is in the process of setting up a work plan,
Main said. It’s still being determined if it will host any public comment or information sessions as part of its research, while a deadline for its findings has not been set. When creation of the panel on Internet voting was announced in August, KTW spoke with Thompson Rivers University political-science professor Derek Cook. “It can be too easily hacked at the moment,” he said. “Any electronic voting can be hacked. It’s not secure.”

City receives $1.15 million from Victoria The City of Kamloops is receiving a $1.15-million grant from the provincial government in lieu of property taxes. The amount is less than the $1.2-million the city received last year. Across B.C., 64 communities will receive $16.9 million in grants-in-lieu, which are distributed as a way to reimburse municipalities for services benefitting government properties, such as sewers, roads and fire protection. The amounts paid are based on the assessed value of the properties and the municipality’s tax rate. Each municipality distributes a portion of the
funds to its regional district and those governments use the money to help pay for local services. ■ Meanwhile, Heffley Creek Hall has received minor funding from the federal government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund. The $4,900 in funding, announced by Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, will be used by the Heffley Creek Community Recreation Association to improve the Heffley Creek Hall. The association will replace the flooring in public areas of the facility.

He was born in Bellevue, Alberta and made his home in BC. He worked construction as a pipefitter and industrial gasfitter until ill health forced him into early retirement. For many years he was active in volunteering for the community for a number of causes including Canada Summer Games, Cancer Car and Special Olympics driver. In later life Bill discovered the game of golf and fancied himself an aging Tiger Woods (the golf part). Bill and Marie enjoyed many years of exploring and travelling the world, often with friends. Bill didn’t need a plane to explore and discover new places. He would often hop into his blue and white Ford Ranger in search of another secret fishing hole, or just to see where a road would take him. These trips were the catalyst to some great memories for his children and grandchildren. His truck was so much a part of him that his grandchildren refused to let him sell it to a stranger. This resulted in his first grandchild purchasing the truck for one dollar and promptly christening it “Toby.” Currently Toby and David, with Bill’s fishing gear, are following new roads to the next great fishing hole. Special thanks to Dr. Alan Burris and the staff and physicians on 6th South for their excellent care, compassion and support.

BROWN It is with deep regrets that we announce the passing of Winnifred Brown, age 83 at Royal Inland Hospital on Thursday, November 15, 2012. Loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and dear friend to many. Born in Teulon, Manitoba, raised at Traverse Bay, Man. Settling in Kamloops after working various places with Canada Railway News. Spent time in Kamloops working for Zeibarts restaurant and later the Hudson’s Bay. Married George in Kamloops on June 3, 1950. She and George moved to various CNR locations where he was employed as Operator, Agent and Dispatcher, retiring in Kamloops as Dispatcher in 1985. They spent a good retirement in Kamloops, then eleven winters in Yuma, AZ. During their retirement many exciting trips in their camper van from Mexico to Yukon Territory, Manitoba and many spots out west as both enjoyed camping and Àshing. Winn and George both started Áying lessons in their 50’s, although she didn’t go all the way to becoming a pilot. She did take about 10 hours Áying instructions and because of the expense of both learning she dropped out. She could take over in emergency and became quite proÀcient in navigating and meteorology. She, luckily for George, enjoyed Áying and they spent a little more than 500 hours covering many of the United States, Canadian provinces and a bit of Mexico and North West Territories. Winn is survived by husband and buddy George, son Dale (Sandra), sisters Jean (Zolinski), Fran (Murray) and brother John, seven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Her parents predeceased and brother Mike, and sister Marion. She suffered one miscarriage, one stillborn and 2 infant deaths.

Bond voyage — London 007-style By Glenna Turnbull SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
M
Y NAME ISN’T BOND. Or James. And, I’ll probably never own an Aston Martin — but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy some of the same luxuries and adventures London offers its legendary secret agent. Ever since Daniel Craig’s 007 and the Queen came parachuting into the Olympic stadium, he’s become the talk of the town and, with the recent celebration of five decades of the debonair spy — and the release of Skyfall — London is abuzz with all things Bond. Even the storefront windows of Harrod’s were decorated in scenes featuring Britain’s favourite secret agent. While you can’t get dropped from an exploding hot-air balloon onto the roof of the O2 Arena, as Bond did in The World is Not Enough, you can scale that same roof strapped into a climbing harness in Up At the O2, the city’s newest adventure attraction. “It’s a great event for group bonding,� said our guide Gary Day, as we zipped ourselves into the specially designed one-piece suits and strapped on climbing harnesses. The 90-minute trek requires a moderate level of fitness, as the incline at both start and finish is a 30-degree angle. The viewing platform at the top, however, makes the climb worth it as it provides a 365-degree panorama of the city. The roof is like a giant canvas tent and the walkway, designed to cross up and over the top, feels almost like walking on a trampoline — especially when you get a large group travelling together. Thankfully, you’re safely clipped on with a carabineer so you’re not going to go rolling down the side the way Pierce
Hardy tourists who have trekked up the 30-degree incline to get to the top of the O2 Arena in London stop to pose for a group picture. The climbers wear special tethered suits as they retrace the steps — in a decidedy different manner — James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan took as he chased a fleeing sniper in The World Is Not Enough. One way to get there is to take the Emirates Air Line (right), a cable-car ride that crosses the Thames River near the arena. Glenna Turnbull photos
Brosnan did. There’s a height restriction. You must be at least four feet tall and not so wide you can’t fit into the climbing suit but, other than that, it’s something the entire family can do. The day we were there, a visually impaired girl in the group behind us was clearly enjoying the sensation of bouncing her way up the roof. Getting to the O2 can be half the fun, either by travelling on the KPMG Thames Clipper or the Emirates Air Line. The Clipper is like a bus on water, with stops at all the major attractions in London, starting at the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, then travelling on to the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Covent Gardens, Tower Bridge and
many more, including the North Greenwich Pier, where we landed close to the base of the O2 Arena. You can pick up one of the Clipper’s Daily River Roamer tickets that lets you have unlimited on and off stops on the full route for the day for $21.35, or get the family pass for two adults and three children for $46.32. Travelling up the Thames is truly a great way to see London’s most famous landmarks. More information is online at thamesclippers.com. Without a doubt, the most uplifting way to travel across the Thames is the new Emirates Air Line. It’s a cable-car ride that connects across the Thames right near the base of the O2. The latest addition to London’s
transportation system, it’s not only functional, but offers a breathtaking view as it climbs to heights of 90 metres during the 1.1-kilometre route. The cost is about $6.75 for a single crossing. For those who love the Bond cars, the biggest exhibition ever of Bond-mobiles is on display in the National Motor Museum, located in Beaulieu, about a two-hour drive out of London. You’ll find the famous underwater car used in Diamonds Are Forever, the Aston Martins and BMWs and even the jet pack, motorcycles and miniature helicopters. Adding to it all, the Union Jack parachute used in The Spy Who Loved Me hangs from the ceiling. You could easily spend the
whole day in Beaulieu, as the National Motor Car Museum is located on the same grounds as the Beaulieu Abbey and Palace House. The great abbey was completed in the 14th century and parts of the Beaulieu Parish Church date back to the 13th century. For those who love to shop, you can shop Bond-style by taking a stroll through the St. James district, where you can have your own perfume created at Floris, creators of James Bond’s perfume 89, or drop in to Turnbull & Asser, where they make shirts and ties for the stars, including Daniel Craig’s Bond. You can have a pair of shoes created just for your feet at John Lobb or get one of the world’s best cigars at Davidoff. X See TRY B3

Grads head for home – and the stage Works sought for juried art show The deadline for the third annual Kamloops Arts Council Juried Art Show is Saturday, Jan. 26.

Don’t ask Stephen Sawka what he was wearing at any important point in his life. He won’t remember, the Westsyde secondary teacher said. But, ask a woman what she wore on a special day and she’ll remember. “Women have an emotional connection to their clothes that men just don’t have,” the theatre teacher said. That reality spawned Love, Loss and What I Wore, a play based on a series of stories women wrote for a book by Ilene Beckerman. From that book came the play by sisters Nora and Delia Ephron. Sawka chose the play for this year’s presentation by the Performing Arts Westsyde’s Acting Alumni Theatre Company. It brings back to the Rachel Ball Theatre at the school four graduates — Terri Runnalls, Chelsea Isenor, Paige Cross and Kayla Sorley — with guest actress Giovanna Rondinelli for performances from Wednesday, Nov. 21, to Saturday, Nov. 24. Sawka said he loves having graduates come back to perform on the stage. A Westsyde grad himself, Sawka said “to be there now, teaching theatre and having kids I’ve

taught, having them want to come back to perform is special. “It’s home,” he said of the school. “You always want to go home.” Sawka first saw the play while visiting in Toronto. “I was the only man at the matinee,” he said, explaining he was drawn to the play because of its intimacy and the stories it tells. There is no set or props — in many
ways, it’s performed as is The Vagina Monologues, with the actresses sitting on the stage, telling the stories. The alumni company was formed after Sawka saw a performance of Driving Miss Daisy. His friend encouraged him to have his students do it but he felt the play was too much for high-school students. “I wanted to bring
the alumni back home to where they learned to love the theatre,” he said, “so that’s how it started.” Tickets are $10 and a portion of the proceeds will go the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Tickets are at the door or can be purchased by calling 250579-9271. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. The theatre is in the school at 855 Bebek Rd.

Kamloops’ Best Italian Experience
Try a martini — shaken, of course X From B1
Ever wonder about the phrase, shaken, not stirred? Then, a trip to Duke’s is in order, the bar where Bond’s creator, author Ian Fleming, used to frequent to drink martinis — and they were made only to the highest standards. Located just off St. James Street, there’s an old-boys club feel to Duke’s, where the term understated elegance best describes its decor. With complimentary olives, a bowl of nuts and some crackers to nibble on, you can watch as they make your martini right in front of you. We ordered the classic James Bond Vesper. On the lower level of Duke’s, you’ll find the elegant, upscale dining room, Thirty Six, where presentation is only eclipsed by taste, and upstairs they have the boutique-style Duke’s Hotel. From the new cigar lounge at the Mayfair Hotel to sparkling Bond women-style jewels at Nigel Milne jewelry store, London’s St. James district is ready

Hospital, 1 week in ICU. I had an angiogram at Kelowna Hospital on October 16, 2003. I returned to Kamloops Hospital awaiting transfer to St. Pauls for a stent procedure (a small mesh tube that’s used to treat narrow or weak arteries). The procedure was performed at the beginning of November. More stent procedures were performed at the beginning of December. All stent procedures failed. I had another angiogram in Kelowna in February and one in March. A decision was made to perform a quad bypass with a tentative date of March 20th, 2004.

A diamond is always forever The joy of selecting wedding rings is as precious as the feelings that unite you. Examine the warranty and after-sale service carefully. You should also insist on a professional evaluation of the ring and wedding bands you want to purchase. When it comes to engagement rings, diamonds dominate the selection.
There are four key features to consider when appraising the diamond on your engagement ring: Cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. The quality of the gold, or silver, content in the rings is another important selection criterion. In addition, the style must suit your fingers — a delicate model for fine hands and a more elaborate style for stronger hands.

TRU BRIDAL FAIR PREVIEW
Before tying knot, visit 2013 TRU Bridal Fair will showcase gowns from Viva Bridal, tuxedos by both McAllister & Howard and Torino Clothing, hair and makeup by La Dolcevita Day Spa and music by Rhythm and I Do’s. Lai is co-ordinating the event on a volunteer basis, with support from the university’s PCMA. Platinum sponsors Viva Bridal, First Comes Love Wedding and Event Design, and the Thompson Rivers University Conference Centre also play a large role in making the show a success year after year. As a student at TRU, Lai is excited to see her education put to use. She is in her second year in the bachelor of tourism-management program. “This event gives us a much needed learning opportunity,” Lai said. “Hands-on experience is much more beneficial than just learning the theory of event planning in a classroom.” To respond to high demand from vendors
and brides, the 2013 Bridal Fair: Luxury Wedding showcase will feature a
new lounge area for all guests. Champagne and assorted appetizers will be served and will provide a place for brides and grooms to sit down after visiting all the vendors. The trade show is a great place for brides to gather information and learn about the variety of services the Kamloops region has to offer. Whether the question has just been popped or the date is just around the corner, every bride will walk away satisfied. The trade show will include wedding suppliers, bridal-fashion stores, caterers, flower shops, beauty salons,
photographers, rental companies, bakeries, venues and DJs. Many exhibitors will offer promotions for attendees, and there is never a shortage of door prizes. Once again, Viva Bridal will be offering a $100 dress room — an opportunity no bride can pass up. Bridal Fair is expanding and improving every year. Lai and the PCMA offer their thanks to Campus Activity Centre Services and Lorna Gorsline, manager of conference and food
services. The event is one of PCMA-TRU’s largest fundraisers. With a club fundraising goal of $25,000, PCMA-TRU is working to send 16 students to the annual PCMA conference in Orlando this year. The bridal fair is one of many fundraisers PCMA-TRU students have undertaken this year. “Our goal for this year is to have one philanthropic event and one fundraiser each month,” Lai said. “We will be participating in Trick or Eat and the Moustache Movement in the coming months.”
The PCMA conference is a great opportunity for students to learn about the meeting/ planning industry while networking with professionals from around North America. With more than 4,000 attendees, the conference leaves students with contacts to start their careers. Brides are asked to register in advance for the bridal fair to help organizers provide the best experience — and to avoid lineups on the big day. Everyone is welcome, but only brides are required to register. Online registration can be found online at
tru.ca/kamloopsbridalfair under the “attendees” tab. Last year, more than 1,200 guests attended. “This event is to be an enjoyable one for everyone involved,” Lai said. Questions can be forwarded by email to bridalfair@tru.ca. “It’s so important that everyone feels welcomed,” Lai said. “Getting married is one of the biggest steps an individual will ever take and we want to make it the most exciting and stress-free experience possible. “We look forward to seeing everyone there.”

You’ve celebrated with friends, called all your family, notified your bridesmaids and picked up your first few bridal magazines. Now you have to start planning.

Make a budget This is often considered the most important step to wedding planning and it really is a great place to start. Calling around to different vendors and venues asking for quotes can give you a good idea of how much each aspect of your wedding is going to cost. One thing to keep in mind is ensuring you are comparing apples to apples as opposed to apples to oranges. Be sure to ask questions, such as, “Are linens, tables and dishes included?”; “How much gratuity will be charged?”; “How many edited prints will I receive at the end?”; and “What is the cancellation policy?”

Finding a venue that can meet all of your needs is a great way to reduce stress. Consider a location that offers an outdoorceremony site, indoorreception venue, nearby accommodations and full-service catering. The TRU Conference Centre boasts a central location close to many
nearby stores and amenities, Horticulture gardens for your beautiful outdoor ceremony, multiple reception venues and onsite summer accommodations in the Residence and loft suites. Wedding packages include everything you need in a venue while providing a great selection of catering and bar options to suit your budget.
Attend a bridal fair When arranging your decorator, photographer, makeup artist, venue, wedding planner, florist, caterer, baker and more, driving around town or making dozens of different phone calls can be quite exhausting. Why not make a day of it and meet all of your vendors in a one convenient location. This is the biggest advantage of attending a bridal fair— such as the Kamloops Bridal Fair on Jan. 27, 2013, at the TRU Campus Activity Centre. Attending the bridal fair can be an outing for you and the girls and, if your fiancé is willing, they are more than welcome to attend.

Hire a wedding planner So, now you’ve got an idea of what vendors you would like to use and where your wedding will take place, but this is just the beginning. Many more details need to be ironed out, including floor plans, theme, color co-ordination, timeline development and execution. This is when a wedding planner comes in handy and Kamloops is home to some wonderful event planners. Be sure to ask your TRU co-ordinator for our personal recommendations. If you are a bride on a smaller budget,
Hire a decorator Last, but most definitely not least, is to hire a decorator. Many brides do a fantastic job planning out their décor and arranging their rentals, but often forget that, when it comes to your big day, you will be busy getting your hair and makeup done and getting ready with your girlfriends. You need to feel confident your décor will be exactly how you planned it — and the best way to do that is to hire a professional. Your venue should be able to recommend a decorator who
is familiar with their facility and will know the best ways to hang drape, run electrical wires, maximize visibility and increase the ‘wow’ factor. You may be thinking your mom and Aunt Judy can do that job. However, don’t forget they only get to enjoy your special day once. The time leading up to the ceremony is often the best time for family and friends to enjoy each other’s company, explore the city or go for brunch. By following these five simple steps, you should be well on your way to a stress-free day you will always remember, celebrating

Getting that wedding-day glow Every bride wants to look her best on her wedding day. From a beautiful dress right down to manicured nails, no detail is overlooked — except, sometimes the skin. Having a radiant glow on your special day starts with radiant skin. It’s the canvas to build upon so everything else you do looks even better. The Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) advises there are natural ways to have glowing skin on your wedding day — and well beyond. Here’s the scoop: Skin needs vitamins, minerals and nutrients found in nature to stay healthy. Consuming vitamin-rich fruits like pineapple, limes and bananas provide potassium, fibre and vitamins B-6, A and C. Blending these fruits with a lowcalorie almond beverage (found at a natural health-food store) is bound to bring radiance to your skin and boost
how you feel since it adds nutrients. Additionally, natural health products (NHPs) are an important option for producing glowing skin from the inside out. “Sometimes we don’t eat all the nutrients we need to function at our best and to have great skin,” said CHFA president Helen Sherrard. “Natural health products are an accessible, healthy option to supplement what we might be missing and take care of our skin from the inside out.” For example, vitamin K, which helps with blood circulation, is found in not-so-popular foods like liver and spinach. If those aren’t regular items on your menu, a good multivitamin that includes a daily dose of vitamin K may be an option. It will help to avoid deficiencies and may improve dark circles under eyes. Finally, remember the things you can
do to beautify your skin are essentially the same things you should do to improve your overall health. Healthy lifestyle choices like getting enough sleep, watching sugar and alcohol intake, using NHPs and making time for regular exercise are natural recommendations that go a long way to looking your best on your wedding day and beyond.

TRU BRIDAL FAIR PREVIEW
Is there going to be a crowd of children at your wedding? Here are a few entertainment tips to keep them amused during the reception. Their parents will appreciate the opportunity to socialize and the kids will remember the event as a success. To occupy younger children before the meal, you could organize a visit from a magician or a clown, who can perform a colourful routine lasting about 30 minutes. If your reception hall will allow it, you could rent an inflatable castle or organize a thematic treasure hunt with a teenaged guest to facilitate it. Inside the hall, set up an activity table with bottles of bubbleblowing liquid, arts and crafts supplies and board games. You might even hire an artist to do face-painting.

At the very least, it’s a good idea to reserve an area especially for the kids, where their high energy levels won’t bother the other guests and where they can be free from pressure to sit still and be quiet. If you do have a kids’ table, cover it with a paper tablecloth on which they can doodle to their heart’s content while they wait for their meals. Don’t forget to ask your caterer if their menu includes a children’s plate. Then, at the end of the meal, distribute surprise bags filled with candies and small dollar-store games or gadgets that will keep them entertained. If your reception runs into the evening, you could always set up a DVD player so the kids can watch a movie with popcorn and drinks. For the whole day,
or for the evening movie, a hired babysitter is an expense well worth adding to the budget.

TRU BRIDAL FAIR PREVIEW
Don’t forget your money vows Make honeymoon last with solid financial planning A sound financial plan is one way to make the honeymoon last forever. According to a survey by Torque Customer Strategy, 86 per cent of couples admit they argue about money. “It’s important to figure out from the beginning how you will manage finances as a couple,” says Liz Lunney, senior vicepresident of Fiduciary Trust Company of Canada, a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton Investments. “Sitting down with a financial advisor and figuring out a budget can help avoid issues in the future.” • Decide how to pay the mortgage or rent and monthly bills:
Does a joint chequing account make sense or should one spouse pay bills and the other put away savings? • Figure out what works best: Ensure you financially plan for large purchases and check with your spouse before buying a high-priced item. • Take care of debt: Many couples are surprised when they tally their debt. Build a plan to manage liabilities. Start with the highest interest items and make paying these off a priority in the beginning years of marriage. • Save for a rainy day: The future is unpredictable so ensure you have an emergency savings account
in place. This will provide security in the event of unemployment, health problems or other unforeseen expenses. • Contribute a small percentage of each paycheque to a separate savings account: Speak to your financial advisor about ways to invest savings and emergency funds without taking on too much risk. If one spouse earns a higher income, they can contribute to a registered retirement savings plan in their spouse’s name, providing there is contribution room. The higher-earner’s taxable income will be reduced by the contribution amount, leading to significant tax savings.
Plan the Perfect Day! If you’re looking for a venue to host your special day then look no further. Floor to ceiling windows allow our guests an unending series of gorgeous vistas of the golf course, surrounding mountains and the South Thompson River. Our experienced event coordinators will see to your every need, including personal consultation, menu planning, decorations - every detail to make your wedding day perfect!

Sprinter makes fast work of big loads
M
Y FIRST FEW MINUTES ON THE ROAD FELT LIKE TAXIING DOWN A RUNWAY. Admittedly, I was a bit uneasy piloting something this large, probably due to my inexperience with full-size cargo vans. Could I change lanes and not take out an entire lane of traffic? Could I make a tight turn without crushing a few pedestrians along the way? The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter looks and feels like the behemoth it is. It dwarfs any of today’s minivans and even outclasses the big Econolines that serve many of the trades. Fortunately, NEIL MOORE my tester was one First of the smaller DRIVE models — a 2012 Sprinter 2500 with 144-inch (3,665 millimetres) wheelbase and 128-inch cargo floor. But, with the high roof package extending the vehicle to a towering 107 inches (2,820 millimetres), it still seemed immense. By comparison, the Dodge Grand Caravan gives up 30 inches in length and 43 inches in height. And, in terms of cargo volume, the Caravan’s generous 4,100 litres is dwarfed by my tester’s 10,500. Still, that pales in comparison to some of the larger Sprinter variants, maxing out with a 170-inch wheelbase, extended body with 185-inch cargo floor, and “super high” roof providing 84 inches of inside height. That nets out to 17,000 litres of space — nearly enough to actually swallow a minivan — and carry its weight with a maximum
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 2012 at a glance Body style: Cargo van. Drive method: Front engine, rear-wheel drive. Engine: 3.0-litre V6 diesel (188 hp, 325 lb/ft of torque). Cargo volume: Up to 17,000 litres (600 cubic feet) depending upon variant. Tow rating: Up to 3,409 kg (7,500 lb). Fuel economy: N/A Price: $42,900 TO $51,100. As tested $49,950. See website for pricing on all models Website: thesprinter.ca.
payload, depending on model, of up to 5,375 lbs. If you’re getting the idea this vehicle can be ordered in countless configurations, you’d be right. There are two wheelbases, three body lengths, three cargo heights, three gross vehicle weight ratings, a crew-van package that offers a rear bench behind the front seats, and too much equipment to list. For example, you can choose axle ratio, stabilizer bar thickness, and front and rear springs. Need a vibration damper, speed limiter (to 120 km/h) or pulleys for an additional alternator or compressor? How about the partition wall? That can be ordered with or without a fixed window, or if you need more contact with the rear, a sliding window or door. As for the cargo floor itself, you can get wood or washable plastic and numerous load-securing options that include standard floor rings and available lashing rails in the floor, walls and roof. I scanned the company literature and found dozens of standard and available items on the work side of things but, even though
this is a cargo van, you can still outfit it reasonably well for comfort. Every Sprinter van gets air conditioning up front, keyless entry, outside-temperature display, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system, heated power side mirrors and more. My tester also included the high-roof package ($2,500) which bumps roof height
in the cargo area from 65 to 76.4 inches, allowing you to work upright in back. It also had a partition wall with fixed window ($310) and the Parktronic system ($940) to help guide this beast in and out of loading docks and parking spaces without incident. X See SPRINTER B15

Sprinter ready for big load X From B13
The $900 Audio 20 system (AM/FM six-disc CD, MP3, Bluetooth) seemed a bit steep, but hey, this is a Mercedes and. if you’re going to drop this kind of coin on any vehicle ($42,900 base MSRP), it needs a decent audio system. Other upgrades included the ‘Comfort’ co-driver’s seat ($220), washable full-height interior trim ($460) and a rear step ($180). All in, this press vehicle priced out at $49,950. The powerplant for all Sprinters is the Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC 3.0-litre turbo diesel. This V6 engine employs the company’s clean diesel technology that converts nitrogen oxide into nitrogen and water and is not only smooth running, but quiet. Still, it has just a hint of diesel clatter — enough to make you at least feel like a trucker. This engine delivers a modest 188 horsepower but, more importantly, 325 pound-feet of peak torque that comes in at an early 1,400-2,400 r.p.m. The specs may have you wondering if this engine is up to the task, but I had no such concerns. I wouldn’t say my Sprinter leaped off the line but, with a light load of appliances and furniture, it accelerated briskly enough not to be an annoyance
to other drivers. Still, a 24-foot-long monster Sprinter with 2,920 kilograms (6,437 lb.) curb weight, fully loaded, may challenge the 3.0litre diesel. My tester, on the other hand, tipped the scales at only 2,335 kilograms, which is about the same as some mid-size SUVs. But, like all cargo vans, it is not to be driven aggressively, nor is the Sprinter ideal for zipping around town running errands — although I managed to do this for a week. Parking must be done with an exit strategy as backing up is a pain — even with the parking sensors — and the turning circle, despite being good for a vehicle this size, is vast. And, forget about underground garages. My vehicle had only two front seats which were comfortable enough but, if you’re planning on carrying passengers, order the Crew Van package. It’ll bite into the cargo room, but the bench seat can be removed if you need the space. On a positive note, one can stand up in the passenger cabin and seated, you’re high enough to see over even the tallest SUVs. It almost feels like driving a big rig — but with a wimpier horn. Decent build quality is evident throughout, but there’s a fair bit of road noise due to the
lack of insulation. More can be ordered both up front and in back, however. Still, unlike the rental vans I’ve used in the past, the Sprinter is relatively free of squeaks, rattles and bangs as you navigate city traffic. Once you get used to its bulk, it’s relatively easy to drive. During the week, I had the opportunity to clear a few items from my father’s basement, which included a fullsize chest freezer. Sliding it into the cargo hold was easy, with rear doors that open 270 degrees and a side door that opens wide enough for a standard palette. All lock into place. My six-foot-four brother was able to climb onboard without rapping his head and, once inside, the chest freezer seemed lost in the cavernous hold. Nearly vertical sidewalls and level wheel arches (with 51 inches in between) add to its utility. After a few days with the Sprinter, I found it less a handful and more manoeuverable than expected for a vehicle its size. I wouldn’t choose it as my daily driver, but can see why so many business people have looked to the three-pointed star for their business vehicles — and have done so more than a million times worldwide.

Tips for winter driving As the weather turns cold, are you prepared to face the hazards of winter driving? Some key tips for winter driving include: • If you can see your breath, it’s time to switch. When the temperature approaches freezing, switch your all-season or high-performance tires to winter tires. • Periodically check traction, or available grip, when driving in challenging conditions. Road conditions can change drastically in a short period of time/ distance in winter. Apply the brakes with moderate pressure to determine the available grip and modify your driving, if needed, to respond to everchanging road conditions. • Maximize available grip by separating driving manoeuvres when negotiating a curve. Brake to an appropriate speed while travelling in a straight line prior to a curve. This allows you to use all the available grip for negotiating the curve. Accelerate gradually when you are able to straighten the steering wheel at the exit of the turn. • Forgo driving if the weather looks too treacherous. Safety comes first.
designed to provide maximum performance during low winter temperatures and on ice, snow and slush. They perform better due to the combination of specialized winter tread patterns, deeper tread depth and unique tread compounds that remain softer in winter temperatures. Retailers offer a wide range of tires sold as winter tires with an
M+S (mud and snow) rating, but they are not at all equal in performance. The Rubber Manufacturers Association (in the U.S. and the Rubber Association of Canada developed the mountain/snowflake symbol, which can be found on a tire’s sidewall, to designate winter tires that meet the newest severe-snow standards.
