A ROUNDABOUT WAY TO AVOID COLLISIONS By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With its latest efforts on Lorne Street now complete, the City of Kamloops is taking a break from roundabouts. Erin Felker, the city’s transportation planner, said there are no new traffic circles planned for the Tournament Capital in 2013 and 2014. But, that doesn’t mean they won’t be back at a future date as the city plans future upgrades at intersections. “Let’s say the traffic volumes have grown to the point where the current stop sign or whatever isn’t meeting the needs — it isn’t providing high enough capacity to get the volume of traffic through the intersection — then, as we’re considering a signal, we also consider a roundabout,” Felker said. According to ICBC spokeswoman Kathy Turner, roundabouts are “the single-most effective traffic-control device for reducing the frequency and severity of crashes at intersections” because the shape prevents head-on and left-turn crashes. There are also fewer potential spots for impact, Turner said. In conventional intersections, drivers have 32 points at which

they could collide with each other. In roundabouts, there are eight. Kamloops now boasts four roundabouts: The newest at Lorne Street, at Dallas Drive and Todd Road, at Pacific Way and Aberdeen Drive and at Highland Road and Q’Appelle Boulevard in Juniper Ridge. Juniper’s is the eldest of the bunch, installed in 2001. While ICBC has data for each roundabout intersection, Turner said it’s still too early to draw conclusions about roundabouts installed as of 2009 or later (as all but the Juniper circle were). Crash data from 2007 to 2011 provided by ICBC shows few accidents at the Aberdeen and Dallas roundabouts since their installations — in both cases only two collisions were recorded in the years following their installation. However, the data also shows few accidents in the area beforehand, at about one per year. The Lorne Street/Third Avenue intersection has a greater accident frequency, though still in the single digits, but Turner said it will take two or three years to assess the roundabout’s impact. Juniper Ridge’s roundabout, however, is considered by the

Crown Corporation to be a success. Between 2001 and June 2012, there were 25 collisions at the intersection, 19 of which ICBC designated “property-damage only.” According to ICBC spokeswoman Michelle Hargrave, the intersection was never a problem spot but, when Juniper West was being planned, the city wanted to find a way to accommodate a large increase in car traffic. The city’s former traffic engineer, Chris Darwent, estimated in December that about 7,000 cars now travel up or down Highland Road, and thus through the traffic circle, per day. “We’re pleased the annual collision frequency has stayed low in spite of the large increase in traffic over the past 12 years,” Hargrave said. There is one drawback to roundabouts, Felker said. Depending on the circumstances, they can be far more expensive than a new traffic signal. “A roundabout takes up a lot more space so, if you’re talking about having to build retaining walls or do major earth works or buying property, then that makes it cost-prohibitive,” she said. “There has to be a good safety benefit to go with a roundabout rather than a signal.”

Pre-election ad attacks begin By Dale Bass and Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTERS dale@kamloopsthisweek.com andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new radio ad by the NDP is a disappointment to Todd Stone because he feels it attacks his B.C. Liberal Party. Stone, the Liberal candidate for Kamloops-South Thompson in the May 14 election, said he wasn’t surprised the ads are being targeted to Kamloops. “At the end of the day, advertising is not going to win. It will be hard work and talking to people.” The ad, released this week, features NDP Leader Adrian Dix talking about what his party would do in government, mentioning the Liberals once when he says the party “relies on personal attacks.” Stone said he was unhappy with the ad because Dix had “assured people he was going to run a positive campaign and, the first time out, he takes a swipe at the B.C. Liberals.” Stone said his party’s advertisements do not mention the NDP, focusing on specific plans and initiatives instead. However, asked how he feels about advertisements paid for by Concerned Citizens for

B.C., a group that supports the B.C. Liberals and headed by a former adviser to Premier Christy Clark, Stone did not reply, other than to say he has no control over advertising decisions made at the provincial level or by other groups. CCBC is headed by Jim Shepard, a former executive with Finning and Canfor, as well as a $1-a-year Clark consultant. Last June, Shepard announced he was creating the organization to work to see Clark and her government re-elected. The first ad is running on radio and attacks the NDP, claiming “Adrian Dix, a risk we can’t afford” as it talks of Dix falsifying a document and the NDP’s fast-ferry purchase in the 1990s. Stone said he has radio and television advertisements planned for the campaign. Their tone, he said, will be positive, focusing on specific issues, which he said has been his message since he started talking with Kamloopsians six months ago. As for a promise by Dix to introduce legislation that would require all government advertising be reviewed by the auditor general’s office to ensure none have a political bent, Stone said the idea

is interesting. However, he added, “government has an obligation to communicate with its citizens.” Dix’s proposal comes after sharp criticism of a $15-million ad campaign by the B.C. Liberal government that features Premier Christy Clark in several prime-time TV spots. Though he won’t be in the legislature — which is due to reconvene in February — when the proposed rules are submitted, Tom Friedman, KamloopsSouth Thompson’s NDP candidate, is cheering the move. “I think having the premier front and centre in these ads is really disturbing,” he said. Friedman said commercials with Clark are fine if the party is paying for them as part of the election campaign. “In ads that are supposed to be government policy and government operations, it’s just really not appropriate.” In a November interview, Clark told KTW the ads are meant to get British Columbians more engaged in government activities and called the charges of self-promotion an oversimplification. “I’m sure the NDP would like nothing better than for the government to disengage from citizens because I think that might serve their political agenda,” she said at the time.

DreamLift Day arrives tomorrow at Wendy’s Wendy’s DreamLift Day is a day away. The annual fundraiser to send deserving kids to Disneyland for a day will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at Wendy’s restaurants in the B.C. Southern Interior, including Kamloops locations. The 19th year of the event will, as always, raise funds for the Sunshine Foundation of Canada to fly children and teens — between the ages of three and 18 and who are challenged by severe physical disabilities and/or life-threatening illnesses — to Disneyland for one day in December. All net proceeds from the day’s sales, as well as staff, management and owner’s wages, are used for the charitable event. Local celebrities and dignitaries will be on hand, along with members from the RCMP and other service/sports organizations. Last year, Dreamlift Day raised a record $114,276.35 — and was witnessed firsthand by Wendy Thomas, daughter of the late Dave Thomas, founder of the restaurant chain. Thomas visited various locations, including Kamloops restaurants, during a trip to B.C. from her Ohio home. Since 1995, the fundraising effort has gathered a total of $1.1 million.

Feb. 23 is Coldest Night of the Year in Kamloops By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

New Life Mission is calling on Kamloopsians to bundle up and brave the cold as the Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser for the hungry and homeless returns to the city next month. While participants in last year’s event experienced relatively mild winter weather, mission executive director Stan Dueck said it’s anyone’s guess what the thermometers will show on Feb. 23, this year’s walk day. However, he added, registered walkers will have a yellow tuque and the promise of a hot meal at the end to keep them going as they walk either five or 10 kilometres in support of the mission. The event’s atmosphere may also help keep the chills at bay. “It was amazing,” Dueck said of last year’s event, which drew more than 200 walkers and raised $25,000 for the mission. “It was just really a fun thing, a very upbeat environment and a great meal when we got back to the outreach, actually.” Dueck said Coldest Night of the Year was the mission’s single-largest fundraiser in 2012, with the aim to make it even bigger in 2013. This year, he’s hoping to see 300 walkers come out, with a fundraising

goal of $40,000. To heat up the event, the mission has issued a challenge to several other communities also participating in Coldest Night. “Kelowna, Vernon and Salmon Arm are all walking in it this year as well and we have a challenge going out to Kelowna to see who can create the most teams and walkers and raise the most funds,” he said. Last year, Kelowna’s event raised $15,000 and brought out more than 100 walkers. Though it’s still almost a month away, Dueck said organizations around the city have started putting teams together, with 12 groups already registered. The mission is also trying to get more young people involved in this year’s walk and is doing presentations in schools around Kamloops to spark interest. “We’d love to see as many students, TRU students, young people walking in it as possible,” he said. “I think we’re going to see a lot of walkers coming from every different part of Kamloops.” To pre-register for the Coldest Night of the Year, go online to coldestnightoftheyear.org. Kamloops’ event begins at the New Life Mission, 181 West Victoria St. on Saturday, Feb. 23. Registration opens at 4 p.m., with the walk set to begin at 5:15 p.m.

Great timing leads to jewelry recovery Good timing led to the owner of stolen jewelry finding her items at a precious-metal exchange business on Friday, Jan. 25. As the Fernie Place resident entered the Victoria Street business, two men had just concluded a sale and were leaving as the woman recognized her items. Police were called, but the men had fled. Descriptions were taken and, a short time later, an RCMP officer saw a man fitting one of the descriptions in a Money Mart on the North Shore, trying to cash a cheque he had received from a pawn shop. The man was arrested and later released from custody after signing a promissory document to be in court when a date is set to deal with possible charges. RCMP are recommending charges of possession of stolen property. The theft occurred on Thursday, Jan. 24, when the house was empty

POLICE BEAT Jewelry valued at $30,000 was stolen from a Fernie Place house inthe Guerin Creek area.

Arrest in home invasion Kamloops Mounties have made one arrest in connection to a home invasion last week in North Kamloops. A 40-year-old Kamloops woman was arrested at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 23. The home invasion occurred at 1:20 a.m. that same day, when three masked men and one masked woman, armed with bear spray and edged weapons, forced their way into a home in the 1000-block of Kemano Street and stole a variety of household items, including electronics, videos, a wallet, a purse and cash. One man in the house was injured after being punched. Police had been

looking for the female suspect — whose mask had come off during the home invasion — and two officers went to a B.C. government office on the North Shore when she was spotted entering the building. The woman was brought back to the RCMP’s Battle Street detachment and held overnight pending her first appearance in court on Thursday, Jan. 24.

Mounties are recommending she be charged with break and enter and disguising face with intent. Police say the woman is known to those living in the house that was targeted.

ROM ORANGE AND WHITE to green and white, the colours Geroy Simon will wear this summer constitute, quite simply, a football fashion faux pas. Simon is, of course, the legendary ex-B.C. Lion slotback, a man known well enough in the province that even non-football fans are aware of his presence. Like Lui Passaglia and Trevor Linden and Harold Snepts and Bobby Lenarduzzi before him, Simon has that intangible connection to the public that very few athletes possess. His rise to top-of-mind status is all the more remarkable, considering he came to Lotusland all the way from Johnstown, Pa., via a short stop in Winnipeg. Today, however, Simon is a Saskatchewan Roughrider, having been traded last week. Age, salary and his role in the Lions’ offence led to the transaction, which means the man who owns the CFL record for most career receiving yards will not be at Kamloops’ Hillside Stadium when the Lions open training camp in early June. Trades happen, athletes age and teams need to address the future. Fans understand that. However, the trade brings to mind the fact some players simply belong in certain uniforms, while others can fashion a plethora of togs with no sense of unease on the part of the spectator. Simon is an example of the former. To see Simon in Rider green is just wrong. For whatever reason, it will never look right. There are certain players in profes-

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS sional sports who are connected to a team in ways the vast majority of athletes are not. Linden never looked right wearing New York Islander, Washington Capital and Montreal Canadien jerseys. He looked right only in a Vancouver Canuck uniform. Same with Ryan Smyth, now back to being an Edmonton Oiler, as God intended. Ray Bourque won a Stanley Cup as a member of the Colorado Avalanche, but he will always be a Boston Bruin, as will Bobby Orr in spite of donning a Chicago Blackhawk jersey. Then there are players who rack up Air Miles and look just fine wherever they play. Mike Sillinger holds the record for most teams played for — at 12. He looked OK whether skating for the Anaheim Ducks, Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings or any of the other nine clubs for which he toiled. If there exists in sports that intangible aspect that ties certain players to specific teams, might there be a similar situation in politics? Perhaps. In my mind, Ujjal Dosanjh and the

NDP go together like peanut butter and jam. Dosanjh and the federal Liberals? Not so much. Pierre Trudeau embodies the federal Liberals, yet he was a New Democrat before leading Canada’s natural-governing party. Seems weird to think of Trudeau as part of the NDP. More recently, we have had politicians switch sides now and again, though without sacrificing that intangibility that ties the person to a particular political entity. Bob Simpson is the well-known independent Cariboo-North MLA who in 2010 was booted from the NDP. Five years before that, he was a senior organizer for the B.C. Liberals. Simpson may well be the Mike Sillinger of provincial politics, calling various dressing rooms home without invoking any attachment with voters. If so, Simpson’s political linemates could be John van Dongen (B.C. Liberal/B.C. Conservative/ Independent) and Kamloops’ very own Claude Richmond (Social Credit/B.C. Liberal). Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio (13 years, all with the New York Yankees)? A nation turns its consistency-starved eyes to you. And, to you, Ed Broadbent (24 years, all with the federal NDP). And, to you, Peter Lougheed (19 years, all with the Alberta Conservatives). And, to you, Grace McCarthy (22 years, all with the B.C. Socreds) . . . editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

Flip-flops aren’t unusual in politics, but the back-and-forth over B.C.’s auditor general takes the cake. Last week, the five members of a legislative committee voted to renew John Doyle’s contract for two years. That wouldn’t generally be significant, except the same MLAs had only decided a week-and-ahalf earlier they didn’t want him at all and weren’t willing to grant him a second, six-year term in office. It would be interesting to know what occurred to change the committee’s collective mind. Are any initial reservations over Doyle’s activities now irrelevant? Was the reversal a direct result of the furor that erupted over Doyle being handed his walking papers? Of course, the actual reason for canning Doyle and then welcoming him back will never be known because the committee hides behind confidentiality rules. And, that is unfortunate and ironic as the Liberals and the NDP — both represented on the committee — have always presented themselves as the defenders of openness and transparency. Residents of B.C. have a right to know what has been going on behind the scenes as the auditor general represents their interests when it comes to the spending of taxpayers’ dollars. They must have confidence the process that appoints an auditor general is thorough and not at the mercy of political games. However, with no firm details being released, there is only one explanation for the public to consider — Doyle’s contract originally didn’t get renewed because he has been critical of the Liberal government and now he has been endorsed because Premier Christy Clark told the committee to bring the controversy to a close. The entire mess just shows it’s business as usual in Victoria — and taxpayers are, once again, the last consideration.

CITY NEEDS TO EXPLAIN COSTLY BIKE PATH Editor: During the City of Kamloops’ series of public “Let’s Talk” meetings on the 2013 budget, it would be nice of them to explain some items from the 2009 to 2012 budget concerning the Valleyview bike path. This project’s budgeted cost went from $1.8 million at conception, to $4.2 million in 2009, to $5.9 million as per a newspaper account of June 2012, and to a final cost of $6.1 million as per information from city CAO David Trawin. This was for a 600-metre long, sixfoot-wide bike path with chain-link fencing, cement road dividers, some retaining walls and a small overbuilt bridge — all at a cost of $6.1 million. The most expensive part, according to the city, was $3.5 million for 500 metres of chain-link fence, cement road dividers, some retaining walls and a sixfoot-wide paved path. Compare this to the Hillside Drive North project that was connected to Summit Drive and was constructed around the same time. It was about 1.3-kilometres long, with a huge rock cut, steep grading, street lighting, sidewalks, treed boulevard, a two-lane paved road and what appears to be a provision for another

two lanes in the future. The cost was $9.6 million. This equates to $10,166 per metre for 600 metres of a six-foot-wide bike path, compared to $7,384 per metre for a full blown, fully serviced, two-lane main transportation street. City representatives have told me most of the cost was paid for by the two upper levels of government, that it did cost more than expected and that they would learn from it. The taxpayer still paid for all of it, no matter where the money came from. As far as I can ascertain, the city paid out about $3.3 million for this project, good for about a three per cent hike in our property taxes. Something happened here that needs a better explanation than we, the taxpayer, have received so far. This project needs a full-value-forthe-money audit from start to finish. with all of the players and contractors named. For those who disagree, please tell me why 600 metres of a six-foot-wide paved trail costing $6.1 million is a goods deal? Are overruns like this the reasons our taxes go up every year? Ken Barry Kamloops

Mountain bikers need washrooms Editor: Re: (‘The $25-million question,’ Jan. 24): We live in Valleyview near the end of Valleyview Drive, where the mountain bikers get picked up and/or dropped off

by the mountain-bike adventure businesses and by friends after riding in the hills between Highland Drive and the Orchards Walk development. Washrooms are something the City of

Kamloops needs to consider. Pit toilets would be fine. This is becoming a problem for the area near the start and end of the trail. Kathleen Bucher Kamloops

North Shore to get a nurse practitioner The recruitment process has begun to hire a nurse practitioner to work with frail seniors on the North Shore. The new position is possible through a $22.2-million provincial government initiative announced last May that will fund hiring 45 nurse practitioners, including six for the Interior Health Authority. In October, the government announced new regulations to allow

nurse practitioners to admit and discharge patients from healthcare facilities and work with physicians and other health-care providers. Darlene Arsenault, IHA director for primary health care and chronic-disease management, said the North Shore was targeted because it has a growing population of seniors, but fewer necessary medical services. There are more fam-

ily physicians on the South Shore, Arsenault said, and that reality, coupled with transit issues that could see seniors riding buses for lengthy time periods to get to a doctor, combined to identify it as an area that needed someone on the ground to do follow-up care. There are also more assisted-living and residential-care units for seniors on the North Shore, she said, with additional units sched-

uled to be built there. The Kamloops nurse will work in conjunction with Royal Inland Hospital staff, community-care nurses and

Kamloops trustee on Talk taxes in person — and online provincial association By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Gerald Watson is still studying the premier’s proposed 10-year plan for labour peace with the province’s teachers. He needs to learn its intricacies not only for his job as a school trustee for Kamloops-Thompson, but for his new position as a member of the board for the B.C. Public School Employees Association (BCPSEA). Watson said there was a vacancy on the board and, at the association’s annual general meeting on the weekend, he put his name forward. It’s the first time a Kamloops trustee has been elected to the board. Noting the history of contract negotiations between the province and its teachers has been contentious at times, Watson said he’s not daunted by the task. “I’m in politics and community service because I want to help,” he said, “and I think I have the skill set to do this.” Watson called Premier Christy Clark’s new proposal, which would see teachers given more say in aspects of education and have their salary increases tied to increases in the province’s public sector, a novel approach. He noted there is a provincial election in May and that reality “certainly shades everything,” but added it is to everyone’s benefit to put forward ideas to find a common ground between the two sides. The board of 13, which includes four appointees from the provincial government, meets about every six weeks.

The second in a series of public meetings on the city’s budgeting process will be held tonight (Jan. 29) at Interior Savings Centre. And, as with last week’s meeting, with focused on the parks, recreation and cultural services department, tonight’s forum will be live-streamed on the web, with residents urged to take part on Twitter via the hashtag #kamloopsbudget. Presentation materials for each weekly public-budget meeting will be available online at kamloops. ca/2013budget two days prior to the meeting so residents can preview the information, formulate questions and

comments and follow along with the meeting from wherever they are, with the use of a computer or smartphone. Residents can also attend in person, with meetings starting in ISC’s Parkside Lounge at 7 p.m. The last public meeting will be on Tuesday, Feb. 5, with the focus on the city’s corporate services and community safety and development and engineering services departments. These public meetings will be summed up with final deliberations taking place on April 9 at 9 a.m. in council chambers at city hall., when council will determine the final tax rate for 2013.

HELPING THE HOMELESS: Valleyview Overlanders Lion Dennis Bartlett (left) of the Valleyview aids street-outreach nurse Gaudenza in displaying a cheque from the club for $400, with an additional $100 not shown for items for ladies. Items include gloves, tuques and socks for the homeless and will be given out by street-outreach nurses Gaudenza and Lisa. The Lions approached Surplus Herby’s to be the supplier of the products and store operations manager Todd Flodstrom thought it was an excellent idea, with the total dollar value ending up being close to $1,000. AGENCY BANKS ON LOCAL SCOUTS: After a successful campaign of selling Scout popcorn, Glenn Lomond and the 1st North Shore Beaver Scouts popped in to the Kamloops Food Bank with their excess bags of treats. They also collected from other Scout groups in the area and donated it all to the local community organization. Here’s hoping others enjoy the sweetness of it all. Barrie Lockton photo

HAVING A GAS IN CLINTON: The Village of Clinton will see major improvements to its water system as a result of $2.45 million returned to the community through the federal gas tax fund. The project will ensure the delivery of safe drinking water and will help to eliminate boil water advisories in the community. It will also ensure the Village has adequate reservoir capacity in case of a major fire. Celebrating the funding are, from left: Clinton Coun. Wayne Marchant, Clinton Coun. Susan Swan, Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, Clinton Mayor Jim Rivett, Fraser-Nicola NDP MLA Harry Lali, Clinton Coun. Diana Guerin and Clinton Coun. David Park. Between 2007 and 2014, British Columbia will receive more than $1.48 billion from the gas tax fund to improve local infrastructure. The Union of British Columbia Municipalities administers the gas tax fund in B.C., in collaboration with the federal and provincial governments.

THERE WENT THE JUDGE: Retired Supreme Court of Canada Justice Michel Bastarche delivers a lecture to Thompson Rivers University law students on Jan. 18. Bastarche, a former law-school professor and businessman, told students Canadian judges have started to exercise more discretion in interpreting the law, sometimes in spite of the wording of legislation, since the country’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982. He said he’s concerned more judges are basing their decisions on public “trends” of thought and less on the letter of the law. Andrea Klassen/KTW

Kamloops kid enjoying breakout season STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD. That’s what Arlene Olynyk always says — and it holds true for her own son, Kelly, who is fast developing into a basketball star at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. “It’s tough when we start naming people because there is going to be someone who says, ‘Well, I had a lot to do with Kelly’s basketball career and upbringing, too,’ and they’re exactly correct,” said Ken Olynyk, Kelly’s father. The seven-foot forward leads Gonzaga in scoring this season, averaging 18.2 points per game for the Bulldogs, who, at 19-2, hold seventh spot in the NCAA Division 1 rankings. Kelly is fielding more media requests than ever, especially after being named West Coast Conference player of the month for December. It’s flattering, Kelly said, but the big man feels reporters might be giving him too much credit. “It’s not just me,” he said. “It’s more the team right now and how good of a season our team is having. Our team is having the best season Gonzaga’s ever had right now. “With the way I’m scoring, a lot of it is because of what other people on the floor are doing.” True. It also has a lot to do with the people who helped him get to

where he is today. Kelly lived in Toronto — where Ken, now the athletic director at TRU, coached the University of Toronto Varsity Blues — before moving to Kamloops in Grade 7. Glen Grunwald, current GM of the New York Knicks and an Olynyk family friend, was among Kelly’s mentors back east. In Kamloops, the list includes Del Komarniski, head coach of the senior boys at South Kamloops secondary, and Russ Ferguson, Kelly’s coach with the Titans in his junior years. “Del, he worked with me a lot,” said Kelly, who is being pegged by some experts to go late in the first round or early in the second at this summer’s NBA Draft. “Even now when I go back home, I still work out with him. He was a huge influence in my development. “In Kamloops, there are a lot of people that helped me. People at TRU . . . a lot of people helped me. Too many to name.” The towering forward, who has gained 50 pounds since moving to Spokane in 2009,

is also a product of Basketball B.C. and its coaches, including Paul Eberhardt and Rich Goulet. Greg Francis, who coached Kelly with the National Elite Development Academy and with the junior national team for two summers, also deserves credit for the 21-yearold’s blossoming career. The coaching staff at Gonzaga, former Canadian senior men’s team head coach Leo Rautins . . . the list goes on. Kelly got off to a decent start with the Bulldogs in his freshman year, but struggled to get minutes in his sophomore season playing behind NBA prospects Robert Sacre, a fellow Canadian, and Elias Harris. “There was some frustration for him early,” Ken said. “He started four of the first five games and, after that, he didn’t start. His minutes went up slightly from his freshman year, but not to the extent that he would have liked. “He had to make a decision.” Kelly chose to redshirt during the 20112012 campaign, meaning he would practise

with the team, but wouldn’t play and the season would not count against his college eligibility. It turned out to be a prudent decision. “He grew up and his game grew up,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few told the Associated Press. “In the past, he was a little out of control and made a lot of turnovers. Now, he is in control and his game is more mature.” Kelly needed to improve his inside game before he could emerge as a starter and that’s exactly what he did during the redshirt season. “I got into the weight room and worked on my body and worked on my skills,” he said. Now, with the help of their starting junior centre, the Bulldogs are poised to make noise when March Madness rolls around. “Right now, the goal at Gonzaga is to make the Final Four and see how far we can take this,” Kelly said. “After Gonzaga, the goal is to play in the NBA, as it is for every kid who plays basketball.”

River City awarded 2018 BC Winter Games STAFF REPORTER Dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the B.C. Winter Games open in Kamloops in 2018, there should be a solid contingent of local athletes ready to take part. Carolynn Boomer, general manager of PacificSport, which provides sport-development and performance programs and services, said she’s confident many of the athletes training now will be aiming for the event. During a press conference on Friday, Jan. 25, just outside the McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre, the city was named host of the event by KamloopsNorth Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake. In the audience were many athletes who took part in the first BC Winter Games, hosted by Kamloops in 1979. Their legacy, Lake said, was the determination that grew in the city

to first become known in the province as the place to go for sports events and, later, as the Tournament Capital of Canada. Celebrating that history will be important when the four-day Games begin on Feb. 22, 2018. Boomer said athletes attending a competition like the Games for the first time will be in for some new realities. “It’s very different than a single-sport event,” she said. “When you get 19 sports together, they’re eating together, taking transportation together — it is different. “They will be energetic, but they’ll have to adjust to wait times, things like that. Now, they have to figure out how do you perform at your optimal level in that kind of environment.” The friendships and camaraderie will be one of the lasting memories

Eyeing the NBA X From A14

The former Titan grew up emulating his favourite Toronto Raptors — Doug Christie, Alvin Williams, Jerome Williams and Vince Carter, to name a few. When he moved to B.C., Kelly followed the Phoenix Suns and MVP guard Steve Nash. The Kamloops product has become recognizable for his long hair, like Nash once was, but what do his parents think about the new style? “I don’t care and his mother doesn’t care,” Ken said. “It’s a bit of an identifier for him. Everybody knows that long-haired kid from Gonzaga.” Opposing fans certainly know who he is, as evidenced by the “Get a haircut!” chants. The plan is to cut the long locks and raise money for cancer research, but the shears are not coming out any

time soon. “I’m not trying to change it right now in the middle of the season,” said Kelly, who scored a career-high 33 points against Santa Clara on Jan. 5. “Give it to the end of the season before I do anything drastic.” Kelly is barely old enough to legally enjoy a Budweiser in the U.S., but he is already a role model for young basketball players in the River City. “It’s great that they can see a guy from their small town and have someone to look up to and have someone to model their game and their path after,” Kelly said. “Once you see that it’s possible and that it’s happened, it gives hope and direction for all these young aspiring kids. “I think it’s a great thing for basketball in Kamloops.” Most tend to agree.

athletes will take from the Games, Boomer said. Lake noted 40 B.C. athletes at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games in London had once competed in the BC Winter Games. “When Kamloops hosted the first ever BC Winter Games, it inspired us as a community to take our first steps down the road to becoming Canada’s Tournament Capital,” Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said. “Since then, our facilities have come a long way and this event will give us the opportunity to showcase them.” As Canada’s Tournament Capital, Kamloops hosted more than 100 events last year and has played host to numerous highprofile sporting competitions, including the 1993 Canada Summer

Games, 2011 Western Canada Summer Games, and two previous BC Games. The 2018 BC Winter Games in Kamloops will see more than 2,100 athletes, coaches, and officials visit from Feb. 22 to Feb. 25. Sport venues include the Tournament Capital Centre (gymnastics), the Thompson Rivers University gym (badminton), McArthur Island Sports Centre (curling, figure skating and speed skating), Interior Savings Centre (hockey and ringette), Memorial Arena (hockey), Sun Peaks (alpine and freestyle skiing and biathlon), Stake Lake Ski Trails (cross-country skiing), South Kamloops secondary (judo and karate), Pacific Way elementary (archery) and NorKam secondary (netball). The cost of hosting the Games is covered

by the province, which kicks in $525,000, and the city, which adds a minimum of $45,000 cash and $50,000 in kind. The Games are expected to provide about $2 million in economic impact to the city. Athletes competing will range in age from 10 to 19. The province’s summer and winter competitions are held every two years. The 2014 BC Winter Games will be held in Mission and the 2016 edition in Penticton. Last year’s BC Winter Games were held in Vernon. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for more information.

2013 BC SENIORS GAMES

Kamloops will host the 2013 BC Seniors Games from Aug. 20 to Aug. 24, 2013.The city is expecting more than 3,500 athletes, ages 55 and up, to attend the Games, which will feature 25 events, ranging from cribbage to ice hockey. The BC Seniors Games Society is a volunteer non-profit society funded by the provincial government and in co-operation with the BC Games Society, which event manages the Games. Kamloops can expect an economic impact from the Games of more than $2 million. KTW continues its biweekly feature page, with each page focusing on one of the Games’ events.

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

Curling on ice is a well-known sport with a large audience in British Columbia and Canada. There is, however, another version of the game that is very popular with seniors— and one that doesn’t require a winter coat. Floor curling is played indoors on a smooth surface such as hardwood or linoleum. It is very similar to ice curling because it shares the same scoring rules and the teams are formed in the same manner. Each team consists of four players who throw their rocks in the same order in each end. The team with rocks closest to the center dot score points. Wilf Schneider is the zone 8 representative for

floor curling at the B.C. Seniors Games, which will be held in Kamloops in August. Schneider used to compete in ice curling, but has now transitioned to floor curling because of how convenient it is. “And, this is ideal for people who are kind of worried about slipping on the ice,” he said. “There is no sweeping, but the idea is essentially the same.” There are a few differences in the game that make floor curling unique. First, because there is no ice for the rocks to slide on, the curling area is covered with shuffleboard wax or cornmeal. This reduces the friction on the rocks and allows them to slide across the floor. Another difference is the rocks are delivered from a standing position. The person throwing the rock uses a specially designed stick, which cups the rock.

This allows them to push the rock from a standstill with one hand. Players are not allowed to move when throwing their rocks and there is no sweeping because it would remove the wax from the floor. Schneider encourages curious seniors to try floor curling for themselves. “There is no great big learning curve,” he said. “The camaraderie is important. We play a game that takes about an hour and then we stop for coffee and socialize.” If you are interested in floor curling and would like to get involved, or would like more information about the August BC Seniors Games in Kamloops, contact Schneider 250-374-7201 or visit the BC Seniors Games website bcseniorsgames.org.

Colt Ford brings unique countryrap to ISC Former pro golfer set to open for country star Eric Church in Kamloops on Feb. 2 By Nigel Hanks SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Pro-golfer-turned-country-rapper Colt Ford is slated to open for Eric Church at Interior Savings Centre on Feb. 2.

SALE ENDS JANUARY ON 31ST

At first, rapping to country music might seem like a clash of genres. Colt Ford demonstrates this is not the case. His newest album, Declaration of Independence, debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard Country Music Chart. Once a pro golfer, Ford is bringing his energetic band and unique style of country music to Kamloops, touring with Eric Church on the Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour on Feb. 2. He hails from Athens, Ga., but is not very concerned about touring Canada in the middle of winter. “My dad will call all worried,” he said. “But, I tell him, ‘These Canadians know what they’re doing.’” Ford distinguishes rap as a vocal style apart from hip-hop as a musical genre, citing country acts that utilize the talking blues style of lyrical delivery, including Charlie Daniels’ The Devil Went Down to Georgia. When asked what got him into music, Ford’s response was simple: “Music got into me.”

What truly separates Ford from the mainstream Nashville scene is authenticity. “I got a lot of words to remember and sometimes I’ll forget a couple,” he said, laughing. Don’t expect to see a typical rap show when Ford takes to the stage. He plays with a live band comprised of his closest friends. “No one wants to go to a live show and hear a recording,” he said. Throughout his career, Colt Ford has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including John Michael Montgomery, Bone Crusher, Darryl McDaniels (of Run D.M.C.), Tim McGraw, LoCash Cowboys, and Eric Church. Declaration of Independence features the singles Answer to No One, an all-around feel-good country anthem featuring J.J. Lawhorn, and the heartfelt track More. You can catch Colt Ford performing with Eric Church on Feb. 2 at the Kamloops Interior Savings Centre, 300 Lorne St. Tickets are $35, $55, and $65 (plus service charges) and can be purchased through Livenation or Ticketmaster by calling 1-855985-5000.

Ford’s C-MAX Hybrid is fancier than it looks By Rob Beintema METROLAND MEDIA wheelstalk.com

“So, finished with the fancy schmancy cars?” A friend made the comment after spotting the familiar Ford badge in my parking spot instead of the upscale logos of the Teutonic testers that had recently been parked there. “Oh, it’s fancy enough,” I replied. Maybe not as head-scratchingly complex as the over-engineered German vehicles I had just finished with, but the 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid, despite its diminutive dimensions and rather plain-Jane wrappings, has been loaded with enough electronics and technology to make things interesting indeed. The C-MAX’s origins are simple enough. It was a Euro-designed fivepassenger, front-wheel-drive vehicle, powered by a choice of small gasoline or diesel engines and designed for a variety of international markets. A second-generation upgrade allowed for a North American version and, rather than have it compete with their new Escape lineup, Ford designated the C-MAX as a hybrid-only product for the U.S. and Canada, aiming it squarely at Toyota’s stable of Prius models. It is usually compared most closely to the similar-sized Prius V. The 2013 C-MAX Hybrid lineup is Ford’s first lineup dedicated solely to hybrid technology. The C-MAX Hybrid harnesses the same mix of gasoline engine power and the torque of a batterydriven electric motor as its Fusion Hybrid cousin. A 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle fourcylinder engine makes 141 hp at 6000 rpm and 129 lb/ft of torque at 4000 rpm and it is one of the most advanced and fuel-efficient nonturbocharged four-cylinder powertrains ever offered by Ford. An 88kW electric motor blends its power into the mix via a CVT transmission for an accumulated net power rating of 188 hp. The electric motor gets its juice from a 1.4 kWh lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack that is nearly 30 per cent smaller and 50 percent lighter than the nickel-metal-

The 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid SE in Ingot Silver Metallic with Charcoal Black cloth interior. Aimed as a domestic hybrid rival squarely at the Toyota Prius lineup, Ford boasts better fuel economy with the C-MAX Hybrid.

hydride (NiMH) batteries used in earlier hybrid vehicles. Ford’s next-generation powersplit controller divides the chores, allowing the electric motor and gasoline-powered engine to work together or separately. Under light load conditions, the car can drive in EV (electric only) mode at faster speeds than any other hybrid. That EV range usually lasts for only a few kilometers before the battery needs to be recharged by the gasoline-engine. Regenerative braking also recaptures more than 95 per cent of the braking energy that would normally be lost. And, the usual hybrid traits of

automatic engine shut-off on deceleration and stopping can make city driving even more economical than highway runs. With hundreds of patents on what they clearly feel is a superior technology, Ford execs have not exactly been shrinking violets when it came to predicting fuelefficient supremacy over Toyota’s best efforts. Transport Canada rated the C-MAX Hybrid at 4.0/4.1L/100km (city/hwy). But, in the U.S., even the EPA’s less-optimistic results of 5.0L/100km have been challenged by Consumer Reports and other testing publications. X See C-MAX B6

C-MAX has lots of cargo space for a compact X From B5

It’s one thing to run bench tests in a lab, quite another to put up with urban traffic, changing temperatures and variable road conditions, not to mention quasi-legal highway speeds of between 100-120 km/h. My realworld results were less dramatic, coming in at 7.1L/100km (comb). The powertrain package won’t disappoint when it comes to performance. Although I drove moderately for the most part, the combined powertrain has more than enough oomph for on-ramps and passing maneuvers. The C-MAX Hybrid may be a compact but its tall wagon architecture provides upright seating, plenty of headroom and a spacious feel to the cabin. It provides 705 litres (24.9 cubic feet) of cargo space behind the second row, expanding to 1,538 litres (54.3 cubic feet) with the 60/40 rear seat folded flat. Up front there is delight in the details of a well-constructed and sophisticated instrument layout. Some of the technology men-

tioned earlier includes the newest version of SYNC with MyFord Touch with multiple ways to control phone, navigation, entertainment and climate functions through voice commands, steering wheel controls, touch screens and buttons. But, I’d still kill for a tuning knob on the radio. The SmartGauge with EcoGuide system uses a cluster to the left of the single gauge speedo to display fuel economy and a Brake Coach to hint at ways of improving your regenerative braking style. A cluster to the right shows Ford’s creeping ivy of green leaves, a visual demonstration of your overall driving efficiency. Other available C-MAX Hybrid technologies include pushbutton start, active park assist, an upgraded AM/ FM/CD/MP3 Sony Audio system, a voiceactivated Navigation System, and a kind of funny but innovative hands-free liftgate that opens when your arms are full of groceries and you make a “gentle kicking motion” under the rear bumper.

manual driver’s seat and 4-way manual frontpassenger seat, dualzone automatic A/C, tilt/telescopic leatherwrapped steering wheel with cruise, audio and MyFord controls, 110volt AC outlet, 17-inch aluminum wheels and a whole lot more. A step up the trim ladder to the C-MAX Hybrid SEL ($30,199) adds more goodies that can be supplemented with stand-alone options or packages. And, I didn’t want to confuse the issue, but a plug-in model

— the C-MAX Energi ($36,999) — offers extended EV range (32+ km) and even better fuel economy along with all the SEL goodies. We’ll explore that version some other day. With the 2013 C-MAX Hybrid lineup, Ford has provided consumers with a new alternative in the hybrid market, blending gasoline power, electric power and a wealth of technologies into a package that offers a new kind of power — as they put it, “the power of choice.”

Kia will show off all-new Forte and Sorrento in Toronto

2014 Mazda6 expected to dazzle in Toronto New model of Mazda’s flagship has advances inside and under the hood All-new Mazda6 was shown for the first time in Canada at the recent 2013 Montréal International Auto Show and it expected to be in Toronto in February for the Toronto Auto Show. The 2014 Mazda6 is the all-new flagship sedan that showcases the full suite of SKYACTIV Technology with a new SKYACTIV-G 2.5-litre I4 engine. Along with the new engine, the 2014 Mazda6 will also be the first vehicle to use i-ELOOP, Mazda’s capacitor-based brake energy regeneration system, and i-ACTIVSENSE safety technology. i-ACTIVSENSE is a series of Mazda’s new advanced safety technologies designed to aid the driver in recognizing hazards, avoiding collisions and reducing the severity of accidents when they cannot be avoided. Strongly influenced by the TAKERI Concept, the Mazda6 is the next vehicle to receive the KODO – Soul of Motion design language after the CX-5 and CX-9. The new Mazda6 will be available with a choice of SKYACTIV transmissions in either the SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic or SKYACTIV-MT sixspeed manual. The SKYACTIV-G 2.5-litre produces 184 hp at 5,700 rpm and 185 lb/ft of torque at

3,250 rpm. Fuel economy for the 2014 Mazda6 is among the best in its class, at 5.1L/100 km highway, and 7.6 L/100km in the city when paired with the optional six-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission. Fuel economy for the standard six-speed manual transmission is 5.3/8.1 L/100km (hwy/ city).

When the 2014 Mazda6 goes on sale in January, it will have a starting price of $24,495. The Mazda6 will have more standard equipment than the outgoing sedan, and will be available with performance-inspired, designengineered amenities, such as aggressively styled large-size alloy wheels, expressive LED lights, supportively bolstered seats and high quality interior materials as well as premium technology offerings in a TomTom-based indash navigation system, Bose premium audio, and Bluetooth phone/ audio connectivity, to name a few.

Horst Penzkofer On January 19, 2013 at 6:50 am at the age of 72 Horst Penzkofer entered his final stage of life. He is now back home lying on a mountain in a field of tall green grass while looking at the clear blue sky. In comfort we know he is with our Lord and his mother Emma talking about old times while looking over us. May our lord bless him. Love, Michael Penzkofer Horst was born May 8, 1940 in Konigsbronn Germany, and in 1966 he married his wife Erika. In 1967 Horst and Erika migrated to Toronto Canada and in 1971 found thier way to B.C. where Horst often said he found God’s Country. Horst loved many things, he loved to tinker in his work shop and he loved to work in his garden. He also loved going into town and talking to people (particularly in Canadian Tire). But his greatest joy in life was his Granddaughter Saphira. Horst’s rugged exterior melted away when he was with his sweetheart Saphira. Horst will be forever loved and missed by his wife Erika, brother Gunther, son Michael, daughter Kimberly, granddaughter Saphira, daughter-in-law Irene, son-in-law Michheal, and Shiela Dubria and by countless friends and family. A Memorial Service will take place at 10:00 am on Saturday, February 2, 2013 in the Kamloops Funeral Home. Donations may be made to the family or to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Ivan Korenic With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Ivan Korenic, 94, on Friday, January 18th. Ivan went peacefully in his sleep.

Born in Melfort Saskatchewan April 13, 1925 Margaret Nelly May Hawley married Herbert Phelps in Topeka, Kansas September 21, 1946. He predeceased her in 2006.

Special thanks to the friendship and care provided by the staff at Pine Grove Care Center, and the compassion and care from Dr. A. Wynne and the nurses and doctors at Royal Inland Hospital Emergency department.

A small family service was held at the Capilano Cemetery in West Vancouver on Tuesday, January 22nd.

Life is like a butterﬂy, Softly, softly . . . One never knows why . . .

JANUARY 30 , 2012 Take this beautiful butterﬂy up to the heavens peak, and set her in your garden where she can hear us speak. My darling child I hope you know that we love and miss you so and think about you often. Not a day goes by without your family missing your sweet face and beautiful personality.

It touches your cheek, then says “goodbye.” Fragile and sweet, like blooming ﬂowers Life’s loves and trials last only the hours That they touch your heart, then say

Miss you and love you from your loving daughter Makaila, Mom, Dad, Jim, Pete, Hazel, Evelyn, Delilah, Darla, Domenic, Braxton, Joey, and your entire family.

Graciously she lived life, and gracefully she passed away on January 22, 2013. A life well lived.

Ivan, born in Croatia, married Antonia in 1951 after moving to Australia. The Korenic family moved to Canada in 1967. Ivan has two children, John and Diane and three grandchildren (Danielle, Kristopher and Natalie) and one great granddaughter (Alivia). Other members of the family include Bill, Dave, Katie and Pat.

Life Is Like A Butterﬂy IN LOVING MEMORY OF TANNIS LOUISE ALLISON

PHELPS 1925-2013

“goodbye” Life is like a butterﬂy.

Mom had a full and happy lifetime contending with a house full of men and boys, and her fondest reminisces were all of family.

One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. Author Unknown
