REPEAT RAPIST FOCUS OF COURT HEARING By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A hearing in a Kamloops courtroom this week will determine if convicted rapist Jack Froese should be designated a dangerous offender. The 33-year-old pleaded guilty last year to charges of kidnapping and sexual assault after he abducted a woman from the Crystal Blush Adult Boutique on Tranquille Road on Nov. 24, 2011. He drugged and assaulted her over a period of hours. Charges of theft of a motor vehicle and administering a noxious substance were stayed.

Froese has a long history of criminal offences, including many convictions for violent sexual assaults. Parole documents indicate he has refused treatment in the past. On Monday, June 10, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers, overseeing the hearing on the fifth floor of the Kamloops Law Courts, heard testimony from Bernice Hammett, the probation officer assigned to Froese after he was released from a federal prison and moved to Kamloops to live with family in May 2011. Hammett said she had felt Froese was working well on his

reintroduction to society after spending most of eight years in prison for other assaults. Part of that success, Hammett said, was the fact Froese had a pregnant girlfriend, appeared to be abiding by his parole conditions and was actively seeking employment. Hammett also spoke of Froese’s difficulty adjusting to life outside of prison, noting he felt anxious and was reluctant to co-operate with a request by a forensic psychiatrist he submit to a urinalysis before new medications could be prescribed for him. Hammett noted Froese’s family —

mother, stepfather and sister — were agreeable to him living with them and were eager to do what they could to help him adjust, find work and function in society. She said Froese noted a drug test through urinalysis wasn’t required by the conditions of his parole. Hammett said Froese was agitated the psychiatrist would not prescribe for him the same drugs he had been taking in prison for anxiety and depression. The doctor, Hammett said, wanted to know of any other drugs Froese might be taking before he prescribed medication.

JACK FROESE: Serial rapist subject of dangerous-offender hearing.

[the froese ﬁle www.kamloopsthisweek.com

Hammett said Froese eventually agreed to comply after he had been detained by police twice for breaching his parole conditions.

After his second parole breach — failing to respond for a curfew check by police — Froese was jailed for about six weeks. Hammett said Froese’s mother told her Froese had not only been home on the night in question, but had answered the door. However, Froese’s mother also told the probation officer she had found items in her son’s bedroom that worried her — pill bottles that were empty, bottles that should have had several doses remaining if the appropriate doses were being taken. Hammett said Froese’s mother told her she was concerned about

her son’s strange behaviour and wondered if it was his sexual “fetish” coming into play again or if it was post-incarceration adjustment issues. Froese’s lawyer, Jeremy Jensen, has said in the past he will argue against a dangerousoffender classification, which could mean Froese can be kept behind bars indefinitely. A two-hour victimimpact statement by Froese’s victim is expected to be played in court today (June 11). Froese was convicted of sexual assault in 2003 and again in 2004, when he raped a Saskatoon hotel worker at knifepoint for 25 minutes.

Council pay back on city hall agenda By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tranquille on the Lake project manager Tim McLeod outside the Greaves Building. The elements have damaged the building to the point it can no longer be used, but much of its interesting art-deco features will be rescued and used elsewhere. Dave Eagles/KTW

Creating a new tale at Tranquille By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE PAST HAS A WAY OF resurfacing at Tranquille on the Lake. Members of the Kamloops Vintage Car club tracked down a school bus in Montana, one that once ferried children to the Tranquille school, and returned it to the property. Exploration on the site has led to the establishment of seven archeological areas. Mostly, though, it’s the people. Nurses and groundskeepers, laundry ladies and maintenance men — or their children — remember the days when the crumbling, abandoned buildings at the far end of Tranquille Road hummed with activity. “People, they’re coming back to their youth,” project manager Tim McLeod said. Since the launch of an farmers’ mar-

[web-extra www.kamloopsthisweek.com MORE PHOTOS ONLINE ket last year, McLeod has heard plenty of stories and has dug up more through research. The Kamloops Heritage Society got involved, interviewing people with memories of the site to share. Last year, McLeod said, they recorded about 100 stories. An interview waiting list now has about 600 names. As more and more memories of Tranquille in its many heydays resurface — as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a training centre for the developmentally disabled, a gold-rush hot spot, a port filled with paddlewheelers — an already ambitious

development plan that could eventually see more than 1,000 homes and apartments added to the 190-hectare parcel is changing again. A cluster of homes from the 19th century that range from modest houses to a mansion that housed the sanitarium superintendent were originally slated for demolition. But, McLeod said, he’s had people offer to buy the properties on the spot, to be restored later. Others have called from the United States, inquiring about homes they remember from childhood. Now, the dwellings may live on as a historic farm village among the new buildings that will eventually make up the bulk of housing at the site. McLeod said the fire hall, cafeteria building and a portion of the main sanatorium building are all due for restoration in the future and will sit between multifamily units standing six to eight storeys.

They have their report, now Kamloops’ elected officials will have to decide what to do with information that shows they make $13,000 less on average than city councillors in similar cities in B.C. The report is in line with KTW’s own investigation on council pay published last month, when Coun. Nancy Bepple first put forward a motion to find out what her counterparts in other communities were making. At the time, Bepple said she thought the job of being a city councillor was becoming more time-consuming and wasn’t sure if her paycheque was reflecting that. City staff looked at 13 communities and found councillors, on average, make just over $38,000 a year. Kamloops councillors make less than $25,000. Mayor Peter Milobar’s salary of just over $74,000 is also well below the $97,785 average. The next-lowest salary — Kelowna, where councillors make $31,310 — is still more than $6,000 above Kamloops’ pay rate. While the Little Apple has 31,000 more people than Kamloops, councillors in smaller communities are also taking home bigger salaries. In Port Coquitlam, population 56,342, councillors make $34,000 a year. In Prince George, population 71,974, they get $31,394. Kamloops is also one of the only communities looked at that does not provide medical or dental benefits for councillors or allow them to opt into a benefits program in which they pay their own premiums. Only the mayor receives a benefits package. Councillors do receive disability-insurance coverage, however, which is less common. Of the 13 communities, five provide their councils with vehicle allowances, with Delta offering the richest stipend of $864 a month. Port Coquitlam offers an allowance as well, but only to the acting mayor. Kamloops councillors don’t receive an allowance, though the mayor gets $950 a month. All members of council also receive a $75 per month communications allowance. Most of the other communities surveyed provide cellphones and laptop computers or iPads to members. The report doesn’t contain any suggestions as to what council should do with the salary information, and many councillors have stated they’re not comfortable giving themselves any kind of pay increase at this time.

Kamloops gets cabinet call By Andrea Klassen

LEFT: Health Minister Terry Lake gets sworn into cabinet by Lt.-Gov. Judy Guichon. RIGHT: Transportation Minister Todd Stone poses for photo with Premier Christy Clark.

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hospitals and highways across B.C. are now the responsibility of Kamloops’ two MLAs. Both KamloopsNorth Thompson’s Terry Lake and KamloopsSouth Thompson’s Todd Stone snagged seats in Premier Christy Clark’s new cabinet, unveiled on Friday, June 7. Lake, in his second term as MLA, moves from his previous position as minister of environment to minister of health. Stone, a new face in the Clark government, will head up the ministry of transportation and serve as deputy house leader. “The voice of the people of Kamloops is going to be heard loud and clear at that cabinet table,” Stone told KTW by phone from the Vancouver ceremony. “Terry and I are going to be able to fight very, very hard for the priorities in Kamloops. Of course, we both have a provincial mandate in our respective portfolios, but we’ll be at the table making sure the issues of Kamloops are front and centre.” Stone said the cabinet appointment was an unexpected “bonus” and he’s excited to head up a ministry that deals with “some of the most important issues” for British Columbians. Lake also said the appointment of two local politicians to “two very big files” is a good sign for Kamloops. “I think that shows a great sense of confidence by the premier in us and bodes well for our communities,” he said. Lake wants his ministry to look for new and innovative ways of delivering heath care, with a focus on health promotion that keeps people from needing acute medical care down the line. Mayor Peter Milobar called the appointments “significant,” but said they won’t necessarily translate into more projects and provincial dollars for Kamloops.

But, he said, Lake and Stone will bring an understanding of local concerns to projects like the later phases of the multi-million-dollar Royal Inland Hospital expansion. “If you look at the hospital specifically, we have very strong commitments from the premier and both Todd and Terry on that,” Milobar said. “So, we were looking for those commitments to be followed through on regardless of which ministries they were in.” Milobar said having local representation at

the cabinet table does make the city’s working relationship with the province a little easier. “Certainly I consider both men friends of mine. It makes it a little easier to have those conversations,” he said. “It’s always nice, I can text them or leave them a voicemail and they get back to me almost right away. I’m not saying they don’t do that generally, but not all MLAs and mayors get along like that.” With Lake heading up the ministry of health, the decision on the controversial proposed

Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen is now in the hands of Langley MLA Mary Polak, who takes over environment portfolio, and new minister of energy and mines Bill Bennett, who represents Kootenay-East. Kamloops Area Preservation Association member John Schleiermacher hopes the new appointees will put the project “under a microscope.” He also hopes to see Lake engage more with groups in the community that have concerns about the mine.

As environment minister, Lake was required to stay impartial on the mine project, which he said kept him from meeting with many of Ajax’s opponents. “Now he’s representing the people of Kamloops in regards to the mine and his concerns should be the welfare of the people of Kamloops,” Schleiermacher said. “We’ll be looking forward to meeting with him and expressing our concerns on the issue. I know he’s had to step back from the issue, but now I think he’s going to have to become much more involved than he has in the past.” The new cabinet was formally sworn in on Monday, June 10.

Critical Illness Insurance... Is it Worth It? A critical illness can happen to anyone and everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with a critical illness – cancer, heart attack or stroke. We all think that this won’t happen to us! The Canadian Cancer Society will tell you that one in four Canadians are expected to die from cancer and that cancer is the leading cause of premature death in this country. 3,075 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every week, there are 70,000 heart attacks and between 40,000 to 50,000 strokes annually. These statistics are frightening, as are the costs related to these critical illnesses. In recent years, medical advances have led to increased life expectancy and the ability to recover from various illnesses. Thanks to these advances, you’re much more likely to suffer a critical illness and live, then you are to die suddenly – which means financial hardship is likely what will be left behind. So, critical illness insurance – is it worth it? If you find yourself diagnosed with any of the 25 critical illnesses covered, critical illness insurance gives you the ability to focus on your recovery by eliminating the financial stress that often accompanies many of these illnesses. Your critical illness insurance can be used to pay your mortgage; look after your family or pay for those medical costs incurred that may not be covered by the government or by your employment health benefits. Yes, it is definitely worth it!

Dr. Marcio Barros to his dental practice. Dr.Barros was born in Sao Paulo, Brasil, the middle child of three brothers. His passion for dentistry began at an early age, when he spent much of his learning about the profession from his mother’s dental practice. It was there that he began to learn the traits of compassion, dedication and self discipline which would aid him in his own efforts to become a dentist.

Two Kamloops-related deaths The weekend saw two traffic deaths connected to the Kamloops area. On the afternoon of Saturday, June 8, a 61-year-old Kamloops man lost consciousness while driving on Highway 1 in Abbotsford. He later died of his injuries. The man, driving a 2003 Toyota Camry, was driving west at No. 2 Road at about 12:15 p.m. when he became unresponsive. The vehicle left the highway from the slow lane, went into the ditch and returned to the highway, rolling onto its roof. The man’s wife received minor injuries. No other vehicles were involved. The coroners office and Fraser Valley Traffic Services are investigating.

POLICE BEAT The name of the deceased man has not been released, pending further investigation. Meanwhile, a 33-year-old Sun Peaks man died in a crash in the mountain resort on the night of Saturday, June 8. A vehicle rolled in front of the Sun Peaks Fire Department at about 11:30 p.m., ejecting the passenger. He was pronounced dead at the accident scene. The 24-year-old driver of the vehicle was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor.

Don’t forget the plug Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said four people are lucky to be alive after they forgot to put the plug in their powerboat on Saturday, June 8, and the boat took on water while they were in the South Thompson River. In addition, none of the four were wearing lifejackts when the boat sank, forcing them to swim in the cold, quickmoving water to get to shore. A dog with them also made it to land. The boat sunk in the river across from Riverside Park. Bush noted the water

is cold enough to bring on hypothermia.

Owner stolen, too Kamloops RCMP had the benefit of a on-thespot witness to a trucktrailer theft on Sunday, June 10 — the vehicles’ owner was inside the trailer. Bush said the man called police when he realized his vehicles that had been parked at an Aberdeen hotel were moving – and he wasn’t in the driver’s seat. He described the truck and trailer and relayed a landmark that helped police. The vehicles were eventually found in the Sun Rivers area, but the thieves had fled.

Upon graduation from the University of San Paulo in 1991, Dr. Barros completed a three year orthodontic programme. In 2006 he moved to Canada to continue his studies and in 2011 completed the International Dental Degree Completion Programme at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Barros recently graduated from UBC with a Doctorate in Dental Medicine. Although he worked as an orthodontic specialist for over 15 years, he was grateful for the additional training he received UBC’s state-of –the-art clinic. Dr. Barros will continue to practice orthodontics as well as general dentistry in his new ofﬁce in Kamloops.

Kinder Morgan pipeline may bypass Ajax site Providing, of course, either proposal gains government approval By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kinder Morgan may move its entire Trans Mountain pipeline out of the path of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. The company has released new information on its website about where it will lay the almost 1,000 kilometres of new pipe it wants to add to its existing lines, which run from Alberta to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lower Mainland. The extra capacity would allow the com-

pany to pump 890,000 barrels a day of light and heavy oils and refined products, up from the 300,000 barrels per day it pumps now. The project will cost an estimated $5.4 billion. North of the Thompson River, the company is proposing to lay its new pipe along the alreadyexisting fibre-optic transmission system line that runs through Crown land and the Lac du Bois Protected Area. In a video on its

website, the company says existing pipelines in the neighbourhood often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have room in their right-of-ways for another pipe. Steep cliffs, the North Thompson River and urban growth since the original pipe was laid in the early 1950s also limit options on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern edge.

Document concerns Ajax foes By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s what they don’t see about the proposed Ajax mine that concerns them. Though they’re still going through its 200plus pages, members of a community-advisory group set up by B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office are already concerned about what they are not seeing in the document that will guide KGHM Ajax’s application for an environmental certificate for its proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. “There are a lot of concerns,” said John Schleiermacher, who sits on the advisory group as a representative of the Thompson Watershed Coalition. “A lot of the issues have not been dealt with — and that’s just by skipping through it very quickly.” The application information requirements (AIR) detail the various studies the mine proponent will have to conduct as it tries to satisfy the province that it can offset any negative effects the project might have on the community or

environment. Impacts Ajax needs to measure include the mine’s effects on reptiles, property values and groundwater. But, Schleiermacher and other members of the group — originally created by the province to help shape the AIR — have criticized the requirements as being incomplete. Members of the advisory group have suggested KGHM Ajax won’t be required to test for certain hazardous chemicals that may be present in the rock at the mine site, and they worry studies on the mine’s effects on human health won’t be comprehensive. Schleiermacher said he’s also frustrated KGHM Ajax won’t have to discuss alternative sites it looked at for its tailings pile, which it currently plans to locate between Lac Le Jeune Road and the Coquihalla Highway. He said another site the company has considered would put the tailings pile near New Gold’s New Afton mine, but that plan appears to have been ruled out because it would cost more. “It reduces so

many of the public concerns — visual, noise, dust, wildlife,” Schleiermacher said. He said the assessment office should have pushed the company to tell the public about the alternate configuration. “They’re going to low-ball this project,” he said. “It’s like buying a car. When you go and buy a car, you’re going to try and get it as cheaply as possible. “The only people in this community that can stop them from low-balling is the environmentalassessment office,” Schleiermacher said. “They can say, ‘This is garbage. You can put that tailings pile over there, you can put that rock pile out of city limits, way behind Jacko Lake where no one can see it or hear about it.’ And, guess what? They won’t do it.” In April, the community advisory group wrote to federal Minister of Environment Peter Kent, asking for a panel review of the mine and criticizing the environmentalassessment process to date. Schleiermacher

said its letter has yet to get a response from the federal government. Yves Lacasse,

KGHM Ajax’s manager of external affairs, was unavailable for comment as of KTW press deadline.

The stripped-down truth is that the dance remains

HE LADIES FROM The Duchess on Tranquille donned their bikinis and got all sudsy on Saturday, raising money for the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism with their monthly charity car wash at the North Kamloops bar. The mood may have been a bit more celebratory than normal as the washing and wiping and spraying took place precisely one day after staff were told the last strip bar in Kamloops would not be closing — despite word from up above earlier in the week that the stage upon which many a lady has danced would soon be dismantled. As a waitress told me at lunch during a visit on Friday, why fix something that isn’t broken? Yes, the whole strip-club culture may be damaged — it certainly is not a growth industry — but, the waitress noted, business at The Duchess isn’t bad. Friday was Reprieve Day as word arrived that morning that a possible deal to sell the Northbridge Hotel in which The Duchess operates had fallen through. The proposal would have seen the strip bar mothballed and news of that possibility became the topic du jour in Kamloops. And why not? Strip clubs are almost campy now, an interesting holdover from the days before the Internet brought the ribald into homes, transforming the scandalous into the ho-hum. Like the payphone and arcade and cassette deck, we rarely think of strip clubs and, when we stumble across

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS one, it comes as a surprise they are still around. In 2008, the Rendezvous strip club on Victoria Street West in the downtown core closed, ending a century of continuous exotic dancing on the south shore. At the time, the closure was news, but was overshadowed by why it closed — the joint had become a drug den favoured by the city’s nefarious element and its owner had tumbled into trouble along those same lines. So, the duty of holding the stripclub torch for Kamloops fell to the North Kamloops club, then known as Outbacks, which was a much rougher version than its successor, The Duchess. The Duchess is a nice place — with or without the stage. It is not seedy watering hole frequented by dubious characters straight out of a Damon Runyon tale. Well, not many such dubious characters. It has a classic layout — the long bar leading to the stage, around

which are chairs, behind which are tables, behind which are solid black semi-circle booths. It’s a place in which you can imagine Frank, Dino, Sammy and the rest of the Rat Pack hanging out, smoking good cigarettes, drinking hard drinks and coughing with laughter. While the stage is the centrepiece, it is not always the focus of rapt attention. More than a few eyes on Friday strayed from the damsel in dis-dress and to the Scotland-Croatia World Cup qualifying match on one big-screen TV or the X Games Street League Skateboarding on another big screen. Up front, near the entrance and far from the stage, a few oldtimers sat at a table, making trips to the lunch buffet table, watching the soccer match and talking — oblivious to the show on stage. There were 48 people in the bar during the lunch hour, 10 of whom were women — some watching the dancer, others simply eating lunch and chatting with their tablemates. There are many pubs in Kamloops. The Duchess is but one, albeit the only one that has women disrobing legally for all to see. While some have opined such venues should be mothballed, that society has changed, one could walk into the joint and find many who simply don’t want to see such change. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com chrisfouldsblogspot.com

Summer weather is here and, while our minds may be drifting toward the beach, our brains need to be focused on safety. It’s as predictable as the tide. Every summer, the number of preventable accidents and deaths out on the water rise. Witness this past weekend on the South Thompson River, where four people ended up swimming for their lives when they forgot to put the plug in their boat. And, as the vessel sank, neither one of the four was wearing a lifejacket. Call it a recipe for disaster. While the seasonal increase in such incidents may seem like a simple yet unfortunate side effect of the masses flocking to our lakes and rivers, it’s high time those numbers decrease. We’re smart enough. We all know the rules and, even for those who don’t, the information is out there — as close as your nearest smartphone. Last month was North American Safe Boating Awareness Week, a time devoted to educating the public about the many dangers of the water. But, those lessons need to go on all year long. On average, 125 people die every year in boating deaths in Canada. So, we say it again. Be safe this summer. Encourage your friends and family to be safe. Inform tourists and visiting friends that dangers lurk in that natural beauty. And remember these key safety tips: Wear a lifejacket. Don’t drink and drive. Take a safe boating course. Ensure you and your vessel are prepared before casting off. Your life depends on it.

Come on! Join us for lawn bowling

Ridiculous to TALK CK attack over a BA& A Q simple sport

Editor: An open invitation: About a year ago, I tried out lawn bowling at the Kamloops Riverside Lawn Bowling Club. I soon became a member as I was attracted by the positive feedback and encouragement of the friendly members. As well as keeping one sharp mentally, the side benefit of waist control is not to be lightly dismissed. I also find that, as pick-up teams are organized on the spot, there is no pressure to turn out regularly or find replacements. One can be as active as one chooses. Times of play are Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 7 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m. It is advisable to arrive a half hour early to allow time for team selection. If you would like to participate in an enjoyable activity and make new friends, join us. More information is available online at kamloopsriversidelawnbowlingclub.com. Roy Simmonds Kamloops

Editor: Re: (‘Chadwick helps soccer-star daughter through racial abuse,’ June 4): I’m not a soccer fan, but I am a Canadian and do enjoy the rivalry that exists between Canada and the U.S. That being said, I was a little bit disgusted, to say the least, that Canadians would go so low as to engage in racial attacks over a game. To attack an individual over the choice of country they choose to represent in international sports is ridiculous. In my mind, Sydney Leroux’s decision to play soccer in the United States is a logical choice given her family’s roots and the prevalence and prominence of sports in America compared to Canada. The opportunity is much greater. Many people make the same choices every day and shouldn’t be made to feel any less for it. How many people have moved to secure a new job? How many people have gone away to school? Yet these same people don’t have a problem when the Vancouver Canucks have a roster of Americans, Swedes and Russians. Just my two cents from someone who has been in similar shoes as Ray Chadwick and his daughter, Sydney Leroux. Dennis Mullis Kamloops

Social contract broken by front-page Walmart ad Editor: Has Kamloops collectively shrunken so far as to have to endure a pathetically designed Walmart ad, as a supposed front page, in Kamloops This Week to sustain its own relevance — and, therefore, its financial viability? Myself and everyone else who mattered was nauseated by the blatant message transmitted by KTW’s decision to sell its own face page to Walmart — jobs, profit and circulation at any cost. Never mind questions related to impartiality or economics of scale — get the money, get it now and forget the actual context of what we as a society, are doing. If KTW thinks this kind of shameless pandering to the very lowest common denominator in our community (indeed, the very symbol of a system that will soon force you to recognize its own unsustainablil-

ity) will go unnoticed by its readership, think again. The race to the bottom (prices first, livability next) is easily won by those who would choose ignorance over effort and self-gratification over compassion for those indirectly impacted by their choices. I will not open an edition of Kamloops This Week until May 30, 2018. That is five years of your paper’s advertisers not enjoying the benefits of my eyes on their ads. That is five years of me not sharing your information in the community. That is five years of me dissing your paper over your obvious misunderstanding of the social contract with respect to community newspapers. Govern yourself accordingly. Vaughn Warren Kamloops

KTW’s front page should have news, not a full-page ad Editor: I’m disappointed again this week to see Kamloops This Week newspaper arrive at my home with a full front page ad for Walmart. Where is the news? I don’t care if Walmart is amping up to compete with the new Target store, or if Walmart is feeling neglected, I don’t want to be bombarded with a glaring, full-page ad on the front page when I expect to read headlines, see local folks and peruse stories that matter to me. Let Walmart put its flyer stuffer inside the paper, like everyone else, and get back to putting actual news on the front page. I’m more than a little disappointed. Ashley Williams-Larose Kamloops

Ring robbery in isolated arena parking lot Kamloops RCMP believe two incidents that kept then busy on the weekend may be related. At about 10:15 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, three people in a vehicle parked at Valleyview Arena were approached by two others who had just entered the parking lot. At first, the pair asked for directions, Cpl. Cheryl Bush said, but then demanded a ring a female in the vehicle was wearing. No one was injured and the pair fled in their vehicle. About three hours later, at 1:20 a.m. on Monday, June 10, officers noted a vehicle that matched the one involved in the arenalot robbery turn into an industrial area near Kal Tire on Victoria Street. Mounties tried to follow the vehicle, but found it upside down in a nearby alleyway, with

POLICE BEAT no occupants inside. Police later determined the vehicle had been stolen in Calgary on June 6.

These burglars had a smashing weekend Police also dealt with two break-ins on the weekend that had enough similarities they are looking into a possible link. Just after midnight on Monday, June 10, someone broke the front-door glass at Andre’s Electronics at 450 Lansdowne St., entered and took several electronic devices. Less than three hours later, someone smashed their way into Your Dollar Store With More at 750 Fortune Dr., but it was unclear if anything was taken.

Wilvers is charged with unlawfully causing bodily harm, criminal negligence causing bodily harm, assault, uttering threats, possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm without a licence, use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence, possessing a weapon dangerous to the public peace and possessing a firearm while prohibited. Wilvers will remain

in custody until his next court appearance on Thursday, July 13. Wilvers was arrested at the Tournament Inn in Valleyview on Wednesday, June 5, following a citywide, 15-hour manhunt by Kamloops Mounties. The shooting took place on Tuesday, June 4, in a home at 1724 Brunner Ave. A 25-year-old woman was with her 32-year-old husband

FATHER’S DAY

BEST BALL SCRAMBLE You Looking To Play Golf?

LOOKING AT SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR DAD ON HIS DAY?

Treat dad like a grill king With Father’s Day arriving this weekend, you can go back to the old standby tie and golf tees package — or you can step up to something that will come in handy every time your dad (or anyone else) fires up the grill. The grilling experts at Broil King have some suggestions for every type of grill master, so take a look at these: • The Neat Freak: For the dad who likes to keep the grill spotless before and after a meal, a heavy duty grid brush is a must. Recommended is one with a grime guard. Broil King says it will keep the grill — and your grill master — clean. Pair it with a biodegradable grill cleaner and let dad worry about cooking, not cleaning. • The Family Man: Trying to balance adult meals with kid-friendly choices can be tricky, but burger presses and grill baskets make it easy to accommodate everyone. Sliders are the perfect size for little hands and a basket that can grill at least six at time will help keep hungry mouths fed.

A stuffed burger press is perfect for creating unique flavour combinations for the adults. Try Greek burgers stuffed with feta cheese, roasted red pepper, and spinach. • The Enthusiast: If he insists on being called Tex, Tiny, Tubby or just dad when he’s tending the barbecue for hours on end, consider a pair of heavy stainless-steel pork claws. Broil King’s experts claim they make shredding pork a walk in the park. The Entertainer: Items designed for both cooking prep and presentation are great gifts for an outdoor entertainer. A jalapeno pepper rack adds grill appeal to this popular appetizer and a pizza stone helps backyard chefs prepare and serve an authentic pizza pie. For the dad who has it all, explore the wide range of rubs, marinades and wood chips available to provide hours of flavour experimenting. Additional gift-grilling ideas are available online at broilkingbbq.com.

Sheriffs’ shave a group sacriﬁce worth making By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sure, most of them don’t have a whole lot of hair to sacrifice, but that’s not stopping a group of sheriffs at the Kamloops courthouse from exposing those scalps to a barber’s razor. As of Friday, June 7, the group had already received more than $1,800 in donations for their sacrifice, which is being made for two people who are special to them. The main reason is to show their support for Shelly Ducharme, a manager at the courthouse who is being treated for an aggressive cancer. Her husband, Greg, is a sheriff there. Sheriff Glenn Fehr said the group taking

Campbell’s not new to the art of shorning locks to raise some bucks, having wielded her razor for several fundraisers in the past.

PG edges Kamloops It was a close race in the 2013 SPCA Community Challenge between Prince George and Kamloops, with the northern city edging the Tournament Capital in donations received. Throughout May, SPCA branches in the two communities held a variety of fundraising events and urged residents to show their community spirit by helping homeless and abused animals. This year, Prince George emerged as the victor, raising $37,296, while Kamloops brought in $36,175. “This is a great success for both Prince George and Kamloops residents to celebrate,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.

CASH MOBSTERS CONVERGE Kamloops Cash Mob founder Richelle Head (above, holding a $20 bill) leads a large group of participants to the Fudge Yeah! shop on Victoria Street as part of the city’s first such event. Cash mobs recruit people to meet near a pre-determined, locally owned business, where everyone will spent $20 on merchandise, helping provide a boost in revenue while supporting the local economy. Fudge Yeah! was chosen because it sells a wide range of products, supports other local businesses, plays music by local bands, decorates with art from local artists and supports local charities.

A Barnhartvale home was destroyed by fire on the weekend — with the elderly residents managing to escape the flames without injury. Kamloops Fire Rescue crews were called to 264 Belair Dr. at about 3 a.m. The fire apparently began on the stove in the kitchen and spread through the house. While firefighters managed to get the fire under control, the flames did enough damage to destroy the home. Inspectors were at the scene on Monday, June 10, trying to determine the cause.

FEATURES

The old superintendent’s mansion and the Centennial Building are just two of many historic structures at Tranquille on the Lake. The buildings, or some of the fixtures in them, will continue to stand guard over Kamloops Lake as the new development continues. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to see more photos. Dave Eagles/KTW

Food to be the focus of Tranquille X From A3

Buildings that are too structurally unstable to save will be mined for materials and unique architectural features that can be added to new frames. Then there’s the farm. While the owners of the property once envisioned a golf course as one of the anchors of the Tranquille development, urban agriculture has taken the place of putting greens and plaid pants. At its height, farmland around Tranquille provided most of the food needed for 2,000 meals a day — another legacy McLeod hopes to restore. As part of a strata fee, for example, residents would purchase farm shares and get all their produce on site. The goal is to have urban agriculture that can turn a profit and provide jobs for

people on-site, McLeod said. “We don’t want what I call a 7-11, Starbucks economy,” he said. “We don’t want to draw the downtown out here.” Instead, he envisions a property populated by food researchers, farmers and market gardeners. There have also been some preliminary talks with universities about bringing an agriculture program to Tranquille, though that would be years down the road. That’s the case with most of the village, which McLeod emphasized repeatedly is a project that will span a few decades. But, he added, if water approvals go smoothly and Kamloops city council signs off on a master-development agreement (the nuts and bolts of the project) that is

still in the works, “in two years, people could say, ‘I’d like to buy a home’ — and we’d be able to sell it to them.” Property owners Tranquille Limited Partnership are in talks with a few developers, McLeod said, looking for a partner with the same vision. Finding the right one is another crucial step for the project. But, even before that, McLeod said, the farm is already starting to build a community. Though it’s a for-profit endeavour with paid staff, volunteers keep showing up to help tend nearly 60,000 square feet. “The development will sell through the farm,” McLeod said. “Because frankly, we’re still not there yet building the houses, but people want to come up, help out and this lets them.”

MS not slowing Leos slotback By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

By Marty Hastings

.C. LIONS slotback Courtney Taylor, diagnosed five years ago with multiple sclerosis, has been given an opportunity to inspire. “I feel I can impact people not only with MS, but people with a variety of things,” Taylor told KTW after a training-camp session at Hillside Stadium. “Whether it’s a handicap reason, where they can go play in Special Olympics, whether it’s MS or cancer, if you put your mind to it and stay healthy, anything can happen.” Taylor was drafted 197th overall by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2007 NFL Draft after a standout career at NCAA Division 1 school Auburn. The 6-foot-1, 205pound wideout was trying to work his way up the ladder in 2008 when he noticed something just wasn’t right. “I had this one odd twitch deal where it was hard to track the ball from my right side,” said Taylor, who is Auburn’s all-time leader in receptions with 153. Doctors diagnosed Taylor with MS, described by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as “a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.” The medication prescribed took some getting used to, but Taylor said there have been no adverse effects from the disease since the initial scare. “When I had that one episode and found out what was the problem, I haven’t had anything since 2008,”

Lloyd: Meadow Creek ﬁnancial situation OK STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Meadow Creek Golf Club (MCGC) in Logan Lake is not rolling up the turf anytime soon. “The situation is not dire,” said Ken Lloyd, president of the MCGC Society, which owns the club’s assets and resources. “It’s not really that bad.” One Meadow Creek member told several Kamloops media outlets the course is in financial trouble. He said a fundraiser tournament scheduled for June 29 at the 3,091yard, nine-hole course might help save the club. Meadow Creek’s membership is supporting the fundraiser, as it does every year, but Lloyd is worried the public is getting the wrong idea. “If you want to become a member, there’s no need to worry about whether you’re going to be here next

year or not,” he said. “For some reason, one member decided to take it upon himself in the winter to do a bit more fundraising.” Lloyd said membership has declined in the past 12 years, to about 80 from about 200. “It has gone down, as it has at most golf courses, and it was to the point last year that we had to borrow a little bit more money from the bank,” Lloyd said. “But, we’re not down to minimum staff. We have seven employees.” The tournament’s $50 registration fee includes 18 holes of golf, dinner and entry into a number of prize draws, with the shotgun start scheduled for 10 a.m. Call the Meadow Creek clubhouse at 250523-6666 to register for the tournament. “We’ve always had a fundraiser within our own membership, “ Lloyd said. “The situation is not that bad.”

Women’s weekend at Sun Peaks

Courtney Taylor evades tacklers at B.C. Lions training camp, which ends this week at Hillside Stadium. The Leos slotback was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008. Dave Eagles/KTW

Taylor said. “I’ve been blessed and I thank God for that.” After struggling to establish himself as a starter with the Seahawks, he was released and signed to Seattle’s practice squad in 2008. Taylor was cut on the eve of the 2009 campaign and did not catch on with another

NFL team. He joined the Lions in 2011 and is part of a receiving corps expected to share the load in the wake of all-time great Geroy Simon’s departure to Saskatchewan. No. 86 finished the 2012 campaign with 16 receptions, 264 yards and two trips to paydirt. The Carrollton, Ala.,

product spends time in schools speaking with children about his experience with MS. “A lot of kids get discouraged when things happen,” Taylor said. “Everything is not always going to go your way. You’re going to have tons of good days and you’re going to have a few bad days. That’s life.

“It’s about how you handle that and how you accept it. That’s my message to kids.” On the field this season, he hopes his play will do the talking. “No matter what it is you got going on, a disease or whatever, you can fight it, you can be strong and still do what you love to do.”

Sun Peaks Resort is hosting a weekend aimed at empowering and inspiring women. Women Only Weekend (WOW) will run from Sept. 13 to Sept. 15 and feature keynote speaker Nancy Greene, a former Canadian Olympian. “WOW is about transformation,” said event organizer Cathy Earle, owner of Peaks Media and SPIN Newsmagazine. “Some women need a retreat from their day-today grind, while others are looking to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle.” Women who attend can choose to Zumba in the heart of the alpine village, flow through a vinyasa series in an alpine lodge or cycle to a mountain lake for brunch. “As you get older, you realize the importance of having girlfriends — they are there for you in good times and through struggles,” Greene said. A three-day pass gives participants access to the Friday night welcome reception and wine tasting, a choice of either the lunch seminar with Greene or a Roxy boot camp with Roxy ambassador and personal trainer Phillipa Thiessen, along with a Saturday evening wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres party. Pass holders also choose three fitness classes or seminars. Tickets are on sale at wowsunpeaks.com.

Underdog Venom shock Raiders in TOJLL action The Kamloops Venom claimed their most important win to date of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season. Cellar-dwelling Kamloops topped the first-place Kelowna Raiders 10-8 at Memorial Arena on Saturday, June 8. Rob Peterson led the way offensively for the Venom, notching three goals and three helpers in support of goaltender Cody Mior, who made 34 saves and chipped in with an assist. The Venom watched a 7-2 lead evaporate, with the Raiders tying the game late in the third period before Kamloops put the game away with a pair of goals. Also reaching the scoresheet for the Snakes were Trent Maunder (3G, 1A), Brady Jorgenson (1G, 3A), Jake Latin (1G, 3A), Kyle McLellan (1G), Marc Dumont (2A), Riley Polacik (1G, 1A), Ryan Emery (1A) and Kyle Gunn (1A).

Tourist trains bring big bucks Rocky Mountaineer business up 20 per cent By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

T’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. The time when you’re just about as likely to have German-speaking table neighbours at a downtown Kamloops restaurant as you are to overhear someone talking about the potholes on Summit Drive. The time when you’re more likely to hear France French spoken at local businesses than Quebec French. The time when the Tournament Capital receives its gigantic annual financial shot in the arm thanks to the Rocky Mountaineer. According to company spokesman Ian Robertson, 2013

is shaping up to be especially busy aboard Rocky Mountaineer coaches. “It looks really good so far,” he said, noting the season began in late April and runs into early October. “We’re trending to be up plus 20 per cent to a year ago and we’re seeing increases from all of our key markets.” Those key markets, Robertson said, are the U.S., Australia and Europe. “I would say the majority of our clients that travel with us, about 50 per cent are from the U.S. or Australia,” he said. “About 25 per cent are from Europe and about 20 per cent are from other parts of Canada.” Interestingly, Robertson said, a lot of Rocky Mountaineer’s

guests, regardless of where they’re from, have something in common. He said almost half of all passengers are either coming from or going to an Alaskan cruise, either out of Vancouver or Seattle. Last fall, Rocky Mountaineer and its unionized employees settled a labour dispute that affected the company’s 2012 numbers. Robertson said this year is back to “business as usual.” Rocky Mountaineer runs two routes through Kamloops — First Passage to the West and Journey through the Clouds. That means the company has passengers in the Tournament Capital six nights a week.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC-Core™ UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellﬁsh at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional proﬁle, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

Still Defying The Odds

support mood ﬂuctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being.

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efﬁcacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world. Not only are we able to give back to human all across the United States and overseas in beings, we are also giving back to the planet.” Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure the interest and countless testimonials from the oxygen!

Passengers aboard Rocky Mountaineer trains travel in class, and have no shortage of windows to capture the view. Allen Douglas/KTW

‘It’s a very good thing for our city’ X From B2

They stay in local hotels, eat at local restaurants and patronize local shops. “An average train will be anywhere from 500 to 800 guests and sometimes we’ll get as many as 1,000,” Robertson said. “It all really adds up and contributes.” Robertson said Rocky Mountaineer contributes about $18 million annually to the Kamloops economy. Big money is spent by passengers at service and retail outlets as well, not to men-

tion the 40 year-round and 28 seasonal workers Rocky Mountaineer employs in Kamloops. But, the biggest local sector to benefit from Rocky Mountaineer’s stopovers is the hotel industry. Robertson said $3 million is spent in Kamloops each year on accommodation for the railtour passengers, not including an estimated $60,000 collected in hotel tax. As part of their tour package, passengers are given accommodation at a number of Kamloops hotels.

Bryan Pilbeam, vice-president of National Hospitality Group, which owns and operates Hotel 540 and The Thompson Hotel in downtown Kamloops, said the Rocky Mountaineer business is huge for local hoteliers. “It’s significant not just for us but, as we fill up, it’s a spinoff for everybody,” he said. “If we’re full, then everyone else is getting those rooms as well.” Between the two hotels he operates, Pilbeam said they take in more than 100 Rocky

Mountaineer guests six nights each week. “That’s 600 room-nights a week, 1,200 people a week,” he said. “In a bigger picture that’s probably difficult to measure, the guests have a great experience here and are welcomed in a genuine way. “These are folks that would probably never get to Kamloops otherwise and they’re loving the city. “It’s a very good thing for our city, and maybe underappreciated, when you start to do the math.”

Last week I got to test drive the new 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. This was an awesome car to drive - very smooth ride, fantastic on gas, really comfy, and a great look! I was blown away by the AroundView Monitor, all-around camera views of the front, rear and sides (birds-eye view). It shows you all around the entire car! I’ve never had such an easy time parking before! It also had an amazing stereo system!

The 2014 Cadenza marks Kia’s first entry into the near-luxury market. It will be Kia’s flagship model in Canada.

EXTRAVAGANZA

By Jim Robinson METROLAND MEDIA wheelstalk.com

ITH 47 NEW OR refreshed vehicles coming by 2017, it was inevitable Kia would take another step up the product ladder. It has done just that with the 2014 Cadenza. The Cadenza is considered a near-luxury sedan with a similar size and a host of features found in the $50,000-plus bracket like the Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6. In fact, the Cadenza starts at $37,795 for the base model and $44,995 for the premium package. Kia more sensibly sees the Cadenza as going up against Acura TL, Nissan Maxima, Lincoln MKZ and Buick LaCrosse. But, Kia had a big chart at the Napa, Calif., press preview showing its competitors don’t have all the available extras as the Cadenza, which is something I’m sure Kia sales reps will be pointing out to potential buyers. The Cadenza is not a new car, but new to Canada, and will be sold as Kia’s flagship model. It is known as the K7 in Korea, sold alongside the K9, which is Kia’s flagship in Asia. The Cadenza is considered a full-size sedan and it is in every

sense of the word, especially the back seat. During our drive time in San Francisco and the Napa Valley, I made a point of getting in the back and I had more than enough legroom. Later, while driving, I had to stop smartly and that caused my travel bag to slide forward off the back seat and onto the floor. It’s a big bag and normally it gets wedged between the front seat back and the rear cushion. In this case, it plopped onto the floor and looked rather lonely with all the room around it. Kia/Hyundai is the only automaker to produce its own steel and, in the Cadenza, highstrength steel makes up 60 per cent of the chassis. Kia said at the Cadenza press launch this ensures only the highest quality steel is used in the Cadenza’s construction. There is one engine — Kia’s new 3.3-litre direct injection V6 producing 293 horse power and

255 pound-feet of torque driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Using regular gasoline, fuel consumption is rated at 11.2/7.4L/100 km city/highway. One thing that caused some discussion among autowriters present for the press launch in Napa was the steering. My Quebec co-driver found it “vague,” while Graeme Fletcher of Motoring TV called it one of the best he’d driven. I did note that FlexSteer (that offers three response modes in the latest Kia offerings) was not on the Cadenza. I was told that’s because it was an older model and it could not be refitted. So, the only thing to do was find out for myself. I know the roads in Napa fairly well and one of those is the Silverado Trail that runs northsouth beside the Napa River. X See CADENZA B7

Twisting and turning, but with pavement as smooth as glass, you can really put any vehicle through its paces, which I did. Bottom line was the steering was precise and predictable, with a hint of on-centre lightness which one expects from electric power steering. The feel of the Cadenza steering fits the nature of the car. Standard equipment is extensive, but includes the following: Rear parking sensors, rear camera, multimedia interface Navigation, AM/FM/CD/ AUX/USB, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless technology, Infinity 12-speaker audio system, chrome outside door handles, solar glass, projection headlights, front fog lights, LED daytime running lights and positioning lights, LED light bar tail lights, power heated body-coloured outside mirrors, power-folding outside mirrors with LED side repeaters, front and rear splash guard, dot matrix LCD cluster and trip computer. But, it was with the Premium that the Kia blurs with line between “near-luxury” and the real thing. This car is loaded. Again, just a partial list of goodies includes: Panoramic sunroof, HID headlamps with adaptive front lighting, triple-stage cooled/ventilated driver’s seat, dual-stage rear heated seats, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, memory seats, memory outside mirrors, memory steering column, driver’s seat knee extension, heated steering wheel, wiper de-icer, power rear window curtain, Supervision TFT LCD instrument cluster, premium Nappa leather seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, smart cruise control, blind spot detection, lane-departure warning system and electric parking brake. One of the things that caught everyone’s attention is the use of “hydrophobic” glass on the front side windows. They are treated with a special, permanent coating that repels water and dirt. And, if you like to golf, you can take a foursome and comfortably store their bags in the 451litre trunk. Suspension is MacStruts at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear. Part of the suspension comprises “dynamic dampers” that automatically soften when cruising but stiffen when more handling performance is wanted. I’m not a fan of adaptive cruise control, but many are, especially at the luxury level. On the Cadenza, speed can be set between 30 km/h and 180 km/h. I feel the same about lane-departure systems because I find the bell/chime/whatever is annoying and distracting, plus it adds to the stress level in the middle of a critical situation. Luckily, it can be turned off by a button located to the left of the steering wheel. Five or 10 years ago, there was a big gap between the perception of Kia and reality of Kia. By that I mean people used to think of Kias as “cheap and cheerful” transportation. But, with each new product, Canadians continue to be won over by the styling that is the gateway to the quality and content. The Cadenza marks new territory for Kia and it is very much the new boy on the near-luxury block. But, based on what we’ve seen so far, Kia will probably be one of the big boys on the block before very long.

Kamloops road earns dubious distinction A Kamloops thoroughfare has cracked a Top 10 list no selfrespecting street would ever want to be on — but at least we’re not Kelowna, right? Last week, the British Columbia Automobile Association unveiled its Worst Roads list — a compilation put together after a month-long survey of people across the province — and Kamloops’ Todd Road found itself in the No. 10 spot. From April 29 to May 27, motorists, pedestrians and cyclists took part in BCAA’s Worst Roads survey. Concerned British Columbians raised their voices and identified 581 separate stretches of road in B.C. they feel are unsafe, heavily congested or in desperate need of repair. This is the second year in a row that

Westside Road in Kelowna has taken first place. The road is part of an improvement project organized by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Sections of Westside Road have already been resurfaced over the past year. “We recognize the road work that has already taken place along Westside Road and, based on the votes, see that road users still feel more work needs to be done,” said Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice president of Road Assist. “By placing Westside Road at the top of the list again, road users, including a local committee dedicated to improving the road, are putting a spotlight on the need for more repairs

and improvement.” Todd Road — otherwaise known as the backdoor into Barnhartvale, running from the traffic circle near Pineridge Golf Course up and connecting with Barnhartvale Road — was cited because of concerns raised over pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Is that even a road? This year, a surprising twist occurred with Vancouver’s B.C. Parkway, a bike path, leading the pack throughout the survey and landing in second place. “It was really interesting to see a bike path get nominated, which shows that cycling safety is an ongoing concern and cyclists really see bike paths as their roads,” Cousin said. “The bike path making the Top 10 Worst

Roads list speaks volumes about the need to ensure cyclists — and pedestrians, for that matter — have safe places to commute, which helps reduce the risk of traffic collisions for all road users.” Moving up in rank to fourth place this year is the George Massey Tunnel, located in Richmond. The tunnel, which placed 10th last year, made the list again for the same reason — traffic congestion. Currently underway is the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.

votes made due to “potholes/crumbling pavement” has decreased to 65 per cent in 2013 from 77 per cent last year. Meanwhile, roads nominated due to “pedestrian/cycling safety” and “traffic congestion” have increased to 15 per cent from six per cent and to 14 per cent from four per cent respectively.

“Throughout the campaign, we’ve spoken with road users and they’re telling us that safety is a great concern when it comes to the state of our roads,” Cousin said. “Improving the safety of all road users is a priority for BCAA, and if they feel poor road design and maintenance increase the risk of traffic collisions,

we want to do what we can to help make road authorities aware about those dangerous and problematic roads in our province.” In the coming weeks, the BCAA will provide the complete survey results to municipalities and the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to encourage improvements.

Road design a growing concern While poor road conditions continue to be the top problem cited, the percentage of

BMW is taking the sports-activity vehicle (SAV) even further into the realm of luxury cars with the introduction of the third-generation X5. BMW claims to have invented the concept of the SAV with the original X5 and is the global market leader in the segment, with more than 1.3 million sales of the previous two models. The new X5 delivers major advances in design, luxury, comfort, versatility, efficiency, driving pleasure, safety and connectivity. It will be available worldwide with five TwinPower Turbo engines — four diesel and one gasoline — a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and the option of two- or four-wheel-drive (sDrive and xDrive). BMW coined the phrase sports-activity vehicle because it perfectly summarizes the character of the X5 — a car with the all-roads, all-weather capabilities and the space and versatility of an SUV, with the driving enjoyment of a BMW. The new BMW X5 is equipped with a raft of features that complement the new engine line-up and standard eight-speed automatic transmission to keep fuel consumption and emissions to a minimum. They are joined in the new model by extensive

Ford engineers are using 3D mapping in what is believed to be the technology’s first application in the auto industry to better analyze rear axle parts of F-Series pickups during assembly, leading to a smoother, quieter ride for drivers of Ford trucks. Similar to Google Earth, which uses three-dimensional imaging to map the world, Ford’s photogrammetric pattern reader uses a pair of digital cameras to combine photos of the axle gears into a series of 3D pictures that are compared against an ideal computer model of the gears. Gears that don’t meet Ford specifications are discarded. Ford’s system uses line-scan cameras and infrared lights to turn a series of twodimensional image slices into a single three-dimensional image for analysis. It was developed with Madison, Wis., firm Automated Vision and ATM Automation in Livonia, Mich. The complex curvature of the hypoid gears used on the rear axle ring and pinion makes it impossible to see both sides of each gear tooth in a single image. The two cameras used on the inspection rig capture 9,000 1024x1-pixel images from each side of every gear tooth in a matter of seconds as the gears rotate. The processing system contains a digital model of the gear profile that is then used to stitch these images together and flatten out the gear teeth into a single 3D panoramic image that can easily be scanned to ensure the teeth are meshing with one another correctly. Any parts that show anomalies that could cause noise or

In loving memory of

During the evening of May 30, 2013, Bill Bullock passed away peacefully at home after a long and brave battle with cancer. Bill wanted to remain in the comfort of his home until the end of his life, and was able to do so thanks to the unwavering love and support from his wife Sandy, his daughter Crystal, his sons Brad and Ryan, his special daughter Debbie and Sandy’s Mom Alice. Their love and devotion to him kept him comfortable and at peace during his ﬁnal days.

Antonio Iadarola May 29, 1928 - June 10, 2012

BILL BULLOCK 1949-2013 Picture

A day does not pass without thoughts of you. Our heartache brings only tears as our loss is overwhelming. You are in our hearts forever. Your loving wife Rosa & Family

Charles Watters (Chuck) July 19, 1945 - May 27, 2013

Bill will be forever missed by his wife Sandy, their children, Crystal (Rich), Brad (Katty) and Ryan (Debbie). He will also be greatly missed by Corey (Josee) and Tracey (Bill), his beloved children from a previous marriage. Keeping their papa close in their hearts are his beautiful grandchildren, Chad, Dayna, Dawson, Liam, Quinn, Lauren, Taya & Kailey. Bill also leaves his father Mike, his brothers Steve (Charlene), Ernie (Shayne), Len (Amber) and his sister Gloria (Franz), his mother-inlaw Alice (Bobby) and many nephews and nieces. Also missing Bill every day is his faithful four-legged furry friend, Brewski, who rarely left his side. Predeceasing Bill was his mother, Mary, father-in-law, Henry, and brother-in-law, John. Bill was born on May 15, 1949 in Vegreville, Alberta. He met Sandy in Edmonton in 1980 and they moved to Kamloops in 1987, where they’ve called home since that time.

Golf and gardening were two of Bill’s hobbies; however, the greatest joy in his life came from his family. His favorite activity was watching ﬁrst his children and later his grandchildren participate in their different sports and activities. Bill dearly loved all of his grandchildren and felt very fortunate to have Taya and Kailey living so close to him. They shared a special relationship and their frequent visits uplifted him and brought him happiness on even the most difﬁcult days. Upon his retirement from his position as a welder in 2009, Bill and Sandy were introduced to the joys of travelling. They took many special trips, but their trip of a lifetime was to Bora Bora in 2011. In fact, nearing the end of his life, with the help of Ryan and Brad, Bill was able to go to Ryan and Debbie’s so he could see artwork of Bora Bora in their home.

On Monday May 27, the world and family lost a loving and amazing man. “Chuck” passed away peacefully in arms of his beloved wife Shirl. He fought a long hard battle with cancer.

Sharing time with their father and papa was always important on Sundays in the Bullock home and it was the greatest gift Bill’s children could have given him.

His big dream was to travel back to Ontario with Shirl, to see friends and relatives. Chuck is survived by his devoted wife Shirl, his wonderful daughter Laurie (Dad’s girl, who he was so proud of). Grand daughter Kyla, great grandson Mathias, his large extended family, sons, daughters, grand children and especially grand daughter Michelle (Squirt), his dune buggy and dirt bike buddy, and two brothers, Sloan and Dick.

The Bullock family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to Laurie and Dr. Wiltshire (who was always available and even came to see Bill at home several times during the course of his illness), Gail from Community Nursing who visited on a regular basis and took care of him with great kindness and compassion, as well Dr. Rollheiser and Dr. Collier. Also, heartfelt gratitude for their tremendous support goes to Kamloops Minor Hockey Association and to Sandy’s daycare families. Family and friends are invited to the Bullock home at 424 Garibaldi Drive, on Saturday June 15th, 2013 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, for a celebration of Bill’s life. Blood transfusions greatly improved the quality of Bill’s life when he was ill, so we ask, in lieu of ﬂowers, that support be given to the Red Cross Association either by a ﬁnancial donation or by registering as a blood donor.
