Company defends use of drug-detection dogs JV Driver spokesman: ‘Our goal is to maintain a safe site and get the workers home safe’ By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

A company contracted to work at Highland Valley Copper Mine near Logan Lake hired drug-detection dogs after it received credible information there were possible banned substances on the work site. JV Driver Installations Inc. used the canines on the job site last week. Sources working for the company, who requested their names not be printed, told KTW the two days of searches followed safety concerns occurred on the job. After numerous calls from KTW, JV Driver responded to questions via email. “JVD Installations Inc.’s focus is on ensuring the safety of our people and others on site,” company spokesman Boyd Mitchell said. “Industrial construction work-

ers face unique risks when they go to work every day and, if we can deter drug use in safetysensitive environments, the outcome is a simply a safer place to work.” Richard Boyce is the representative of the United Steelworkers Union 7619, which represents workers at Highland Valley, but not JV Driver employees. Boyce said there were other methods that could have been taken that would have better respected the company’s employees. “If I was a representative of their union, I would have a huge problem with this,” Boyce said. Boyce noted discussions with James Leland, the business manager with the contractors’ union, Ironworkers Local 97, revealed the company didn’t contact the union before the search. Mitchell said JV Driver did its best not to cross any lines.

“All searches were conducted in the least obtrusive manner possible,” Mitchell said. While sources told KTW some employees were sent home and told to wait for a call, Mitchell said otherwise, noting employees had suffered no repercussions as a result of the search. While some sources believe the company went too far by using search dogs, others commended the operation. “We need to get that stuff out of the workplace,” one source said, explaining drug users are putting themselves and others at risk on the job site. Mitchell said the company couldn’t ignore tips regarding the possibility of banned substances. “We were legally and morally obligated to act to ensure the continued safety of the workplace,” he said. Sources told KTW marijuana and cocaine were found during the search but, while Mitchell

did confirm “some banned substances” were found, he would not specify which kind, noting all such substances were disposed of by the RCMP. Mitchell did not acknowledge reports of a union grievance being filed, but said the company would continue to work with the Ironworkers in the future. “We intend to work closely with our labour partners and client in continued support of substance-abuse prevention initiatives and other programs,” Mitchell said. “As responsible employers, our goal is to maintain a safe site and get the workers home safe to their families each and every day. “There is no higher priority.” A representative of a detection-dog service in Vancouver said they deal frequently with large companies on mine and construction sites. The first question asked is

always whether there’s a union. “The search always goes much better when all parties are aware of what is taking place,” the company representative said. “Unions are a powerful thing. You want to make sure you have them involved in the process. “If you go against them, you could end up not being allowed to conduct any future searches, even small ones.” The company representative added that, even with all parties on board with the search, JV Driver is still have limited in who and what can be searched. “We could walk the dog around and have that visual factor, but we could not search an individual employee,” the company representative said. The dogs can, however, search around the lunch area, in company vehicles, such as the buses used to transport JVD employees, and around the exterior of personal vehicles.

THIS WEEK

Stone the big election spender By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It could be a new record for candidate spending in Kamloops. New Kamloops South-Thompson Liberal MLA Todd Stone racked up nearly $160,000 in expenses leading up to and during the provincial general election in May, according to financial reports posted to the Elections BC website this week. It’s nearly double what Stone’s NDP counterpart, Tom Friedman, spent during the campaign and well above that spent by the two other rivals on the ballot. Stone’s spending appears to be a new high for Kamloops. His B.C. Liberal predecessor, Kevin Krueger, spent just over $100,000 getting himself elected in 2009, as did Claude Richmond in 2005. Both men led the pack in spending in those campaigns as well. Even bringing federal numbers into the mix, Stone stays on top. In her last campaign, Conservative MP Cathy McLeod spent the most, at just over $95,000. Most of Stone’s expenses were covered with money from the B.C. Liberal Party, which made about $140,000 in contributions to the Kamloops businessman’s campaign. It wasn’t the only time the party reached deep into its pockets for a Kamloops candidate.

Kamloops North-Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake received $117,000 of the $121,000 he spent during the campaign from the party. Lake also outspent his NDP competition in the riding, though not by quite the same margin as Stone. Kathy Kendall spent just under $77,000 on her campaign for the New Democrats, making her the only candidate in the mix who spent less than her predecessor. By comparison, Doug Brown, who ran in Kamloops North in 2009 for the NDP, spent $85,000. For the most part, candidates shelled out more money in 2013. Friedman nearly doubled his own campaign spending this election — $85,000 compared to $45,000 in 2009. While they weren’t as loose with the cash as other candidates, Kamloops’ BC Conservatives improved on Maria Dobi’s 2009 spending of just over $5,500. Both Ed Klop (KamloopsNorth Thompson) and Peter Sharp (Kamloops-South Thompson) spent about $9,000 each in their campaigns. Even independent candidate Brian Alexander spent more than $6,000 during the election. That outlay of cash earned Alexander just 428 votes. It’s the lowest total of any candidate and eight fewer than the X Party candidate’s John Ford, who spent only $250 — the cost of his nomination deposit.

A male and a female were treated and released at Royal Inland Hospital after a stabbing in the 400block of Columbia Street on Saturday, Aug. 17. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Edward Preto said the attack was not random and the detachment’s

serious-crime unit is in charge of the probe. • Mounties are investigating what appears to have been an assault after receiving reports on Friday, Aug. 16, of a male with blood visible walking on the south end of the bike path crossing

Overlanders Bridge. Const. Bernie Ward said callers indicated the male appeared to be holding a weapon. Several officers found the man in the Mission Flats area, while police found a second man believed to be involved.

City of Kamloops

Did You Know... Under the Motor Vehicle Act, cyclists are vehicle operators and have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. When motorists and cyclists follow the same rules, the roads become safer and more predictable for everyone.

What do these signs and markings mean? Bike Route ~ Directional signage (wayfinding) indicating that the road or designated facility is part of a bicycle route system. On-Street Bike Lane ~ Dedicated lane on the roadway for cyclists where motorists are not allowed to park, stop or drive on.

Off Street Shared Pathway (Multi-Use Path) ~ Shared pathway for cyclists and pedestrians. Cyclists must always yield right-of-way to pedestrians.

Share The Road ~ On

designated bike routes where the roadway is shared by motorists and cyclists. Often used at the end of a separated bicycle lane to indicate that the lane is ending. Motorists are to provide safe space for cyclists to ride on the road and can only overtake the cyclist when it is safe to do so.

Sharrows ~ Typically placed along wide roadways where there is enough space for cyclists and motorists to share the road. The sharrows indicate where cyclists should position themselves on the roadway. Motorists are to provide safe space for cyclists to ride on the road and can only overtake the cyclist when it is safe to do so.

Cyclists: - Obey all traffic control devices, including traffic lights and stop signs. - Use recognized hand signals to indicate stops and turns. - Don’t ride on the sidewalk, or in a crosswalk. - Wear a helmet. - Always ride on the ride hand side of the road, traveling with traffic. - Be visible. Wear brightly colored or reflective clothing; after dark, use a front white head light and a rear red reflector light.

Motorists: - Scan for cyclists on roadways and at intersections. - Reduce your speed when approaching cyclists. - When following cyclists, don’t tailgate and be prepared to stop quickly. - When passing a cyclist, do so slowly and leave at least one metre of passing space between your vehicle and the cyclist. - Watch for approaching cyclists before opening your car door.

Crossing wires and communication breakdown KGHM says it has always intended to study air-bast effects with proposed mine By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s been described by the city’s lead staffer on the Ajax file as a “last-ditch effort” to have a potentially major impact included in the environmental assessment for the proposed mine. But, a memo from Golder Associates commissioned to sway the province’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) was also an isolated incident in what appears to be a case of crossed wires and communication breakdowns, according to City of Kamloops sustainability and environmental services manager Jen Fretz. Written in May, the memo stated unmitigated air blasts or sonic booms could shake houses, break windows and spook pets and wildlife. Depending on weather, blast size, design and other factors, their effects might be felt 10 or more kilometres away. “It was a correspondence between myself and the Environmental Assessment Office and it was just to hammer the point that we wanted this information included in the AIR [application information requirements],” Fretz said. The AIR lists the various issues the mine must consider as it seeks an environmental certificate needed to operate. It’s being shaped in part by a couple of working groups — one made up of community members and a more technical group of experts that includes Fretz. As a member of that group, Fretz said she is used to providing explanations of why the city wants certain issues studied, but the air-blast issue is the only time she

external affairs manager Yves Lacasse have told media the company intends to study air-blast effects — and has for quite some time. In an interview with KTW not long after the memo was first reported on, Lacasse said the company had been talking about air blasts since May of 2012 and has made reference to sonic blasts in multiple drafts of the AIR. Fretz said she’s not sure why that wasn’t reflected in her dealings with the provincial assessment office. “I’m still confused by where the communication lapsed between the EAO and the proponent,” she said. “My understanding going forward was that

ever felt the need to draw on outside consultants to give her arguments more heft. “In this case in discussions with the EAO — even though the proponent has said differently — my understanding from the EAO is the proponent was pushing back, so that’s why we went above and beyond in this case,” she said. The Golder memo, sent to the province less than a month before a final list of requirements for the mine’s assessment was approved, was a final shot at getting that data included because Fretz said it still seemed to be absent. Yet Ajax spokeswoman Robin Bartlett and KGHM Ajax’s

that wasn’t going to be included and that’s why I asked Golder to put together the memo. “But, according to the proponent, they were always including it, so I don’t know.” Kamloops NorthThompson MLA Terry Lake, who served as environment minister before taking over the health portfolio after the May election, said he doubts there’s anything sinister to read into what happened. “The process is a complex one and you get people who change,” he said. “Maybe they’ve been working on the file and they’re not there any more. “That can happen, too. There’s an ability for people to lose continuity.”

In response to an inquiry from KTW, a Ministry of Environment spokesman said the AIR originally referred

to the more generic “blasting effects,” but now stipulates Ajax must study “‘ground acceleration’ and ‘overpressure’ instead

of the non-technical term ‘air blasting’ as these are proper terms used for the purpose of environmental assessments.”

Trafﬁc blitz unearths myriad infractions Speeders, seatbelt haters and driving drunk before nine in the morning. Such is what greeted Kamloops Mounties during a weekend traffic-enforcement blitz on Highway 1 between the city and Ashcroft. The Sunday, Aug. 18, campaign focused on aggressive drivers between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The results indicate officers were busy, dealing with 15 speeders, two excessive

speeders who had their vehicles impounded for a week, one driver doing an illegal pass on the right, one driver following too close, one driver crossing the double-solid line, one driver failing to stop at a red light, three drivers not wearing seatbelts, one rider without an approved helmet, one driver with illegal tinted windows, two drivers with no insurance, one driver who failed to slow down and move over when passing an

emergency vehicle, one driver with a misused licence plate (it belonged on another vehicle), one driver with no licence, two drivers who failed to produce their licences, two drivers who failed to display the ‘N’ (New Driver) sign and a driver with a trailer with a defective brake light that was towed.

However, the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. reminds those who keep them on their rear-view mirrors that they are considered a driving obstruction and could lead to a ticket from police. SPARC-BC suggests you just remove it and leave it nearby, hanging it only when you are parked. People in Motion is the Kamloops agency that provides the designation, hanger and wallet card.

Killer to learn if day parole becomes full parole A hearing will be held to determine if full parole is granted to convicted killer Steven Roe. In a decision made late last month by the Parole Board of Canada and obtained by KTW, Roe’s day parole has been continued and a hearing ordered for the now 26-year-old who was convicted of manslaughter in the Feb. 21, 2006 stabbing death of David Holditch. Roe was convicted of second-degree murder the following year, but appealed and was granted a new trial that, in January 2010, found him guilty of the lesser charge. He was sentenced to nine years in federal prison but, having been incarcerated for some time, the actual sentence was five years and eight months. The hearing last month reviewed Roe’s history since he was

sent to prison, which includes involvement in an assault on another inmate, being part of a group of inmates who set fires and damaged cells and acquiring a computer with Internet capabilities while in prison. A psychological assessment completed in May 2012 concluded Roe has a low to moderate risk to re-offend. Roe was granted day parole in August 2012 and had it renewed in January. He has been living in a halfway house in an unidentified community. Roe’s day parole requires he report “all sexual and non-sexual relationships and friendships with females to your parole supervisor” and “follow psychological counselling to be arranged by your parole supervisor to address your personal/emotional orientation and marital/ family needs.”

Roe confronted Holditch at the Esso gas station in Aberdeen 114th Annual

after he came across messages between his then-girlfriend, Kyla

Regnier, and Holditch, who worked at the Rogers Way station.

Pressure mounts for skills training in British Columbia

DVANCED EDUCATION Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for postsecondary education this fall. In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.” B.C. is forecast to have onemillion jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training and, for students, likely a move north. “My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island but, as a resourcebased economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.” That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched. Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children toward medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching. B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA Another 850 arrived from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers — and many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas. It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowledges his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But, he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs. NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen University and B.C. Institute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted advanced-education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years. Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have pro-

duced 456 additional seats in highdemand programs for this year. It’s a start. In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces for its new employerdriven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, with the average being $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that goes toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether or not it produces any useful education. Virk is under instructions to review the student-loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A wise person once said: Time is like money — it isn’t how much you have, but what you do with what you have. Certainly a commendable aspiration, considering how short life really is. The realities of modern-day life, however, seem to strip away at our precious time at an ever-increasing rate, making it difficult to spend time wisely. Faced with these tugs on personal time, it is remarkable and noteworthy many among us find the time to volunteer. For that we are grateful. Volunteers help build welcoming, supportive and rich communities. Rich, not in the sense of wealth, but in terms of activities, events and services that serve to enrich the lives of everyone in the community. In most communities, sports of any kind would not exist without the community members who volunteer their time to coach. Service organizations offer their time in service to the community, in addition to raising money for special community projects. The importance of volunteering is on full display this week as thousands of athletes, officials and their families converge on Kamloops for the 2013 BC Seniors Games, which run through Aug. 24 and which may well be the largest event ever hosted in the Tournament Capital. Witness the recent Ribfest to know what is — and is not — possible with or without volunteers. Giving back to a community you care for is always time well spent. Try it. You just might like it.

Re: Busted: Mine contractors ﬁnd drug-detection dogs when arriving for work: “Way to go, dogs. “Safety first. If you can’t practise the code, quit your job as there are many others who want to work.” — posted by Midge Stewart

Will taxpayers end up subsidizing Ajax mine? Editor: Regarding the proposed Ajax mine undergoing a supposed review, I would like to add my thoughts to the disastrous effect this will have on Kamloops. Should this mine be developed, it will forever change the character of Kamloops as a desirable community to live. I have nothing against resource development in general, but the idea of an open-pit mine such as this in the City of Kamloops is insane. Other people have commented on the negative effects Ajax will have on the community, so I would like to point out one additional negative effect I haven’t yet seen mentioned.

Should this mine be approved, I believe there will be an obvious readjustment of property values within the community. It would seem that many areas in South Kamloops will see an eventual reduction in value. Consequently, many areas of North Kamloops will see an increase in value. Notwithstanding this adjustment in property values, it may be probable that within Kamloops, the result will be a net reduction in overall propertyassessment values. I wonder how city hall will adjust to this? Will council bring in a reduced city budget? Will staff be laid off? Will our mayor and

regard to their income. In effect, we could have lowincome families, seniors and others paying to help a multibillion-dollar international corporation destroy our city. Kamloops in recent years has managed to increase its economic base in a more intelligent matter with sports, adventure tourism and other lifestyle activities. It has also promoted itself as a place for seniors to relocate. Somehow I don’t think Ajax fits into this picture. I am not looking forward to breathing toxin-laden dust in 40 C summer heat.

“One-hundred per cent agree. “I would not like to work with someone or rely on someone who is on drugs.” — posted by Jan Nademlejnsky “This treads dangerously close to infringement but, in this case these guys are working in some extreme situations and absolutely need to be at their sharpest. “Not being so could cost them their lives or the lives of co-workers. “There has to be zero tolerance.” — posted by Rocko Martin

city councillors step up to the plate and take pay cuts? I think not. It seems to me that, in the event city tax revenues fall as a result of this readjustment in property values, the probable result is the usual raise-the-taxes approach — in this case, an increase in the city’s propertytax mill rate. Should this be the case, residents — most of whom will not derive economic benefit from this proposed mine and who will suffer from its negative effects — will, in effect, be financially subsidizing Ajax. If this is the case, many citizens of Kamloops will see their property-tax bill rise without

Editor: Congratulations to the North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA), all the participating businesses and all the volunteers who made the first annual Overlander Days at McDonald Park on the weekend a resounding success. It was well organized by the NSBIA, well supported by the greater business community and well attended by the people of Kamloops. It serves as one more example of what makes the North Shore neighbourhoods such great places to live and do business. And kudos to the city for how nicely McDonald Park is tended and how good it looks. Peter Mutrie Kamloops

‘A most disturbing public hearing’ on building expansion Editor: The July 30 public hearing at city hall centred on Vince Cavaliere’s plan to expand his River City Realty building by 50 per cent and crowd five parking spaces next to the alley. River City Realty is located at 703 St. Paul St. in a converted home in a downtown residential neighbourhood. Only councillors Donovan Cavers and Tina Lange opposed the expansion. It was a most disturbing public hearing. Despite a request to allow more time, the hearing was held on July 30, when many residents are away on holidays.

This allowed residents six days to prepare. Seven replies objecting to the expansion request were put together on very short notice and council totally ignored them. Verbal presentations to preserve the integrity and safety of the neighbourhood fell on deaf ears. Not so Cavaliere’s self-centred plans to increase his profit at the expanse of the neighbourhood. Those were warmly welcomed by most of council. Cavaliere said his goodneighbourhood vision was to “control the

neighbourhood.” Randy Lambright, the city’s planning and development manager, made the bewildering comment that Kamloops had a policy to allow Cavaliere’s proposed illegal parking configuration at 703 St. Paul St. Yet it is in total contravention of the off–street parking bylaw. Where is that policy written? At what meeting did council empower staff to develop and implement policies that override city legislation/bylaws? Christina Mader Kamloops

Washroom talk back at council table today Kamloops city councillors will wrestle with the genderneutral washroom issue again during its meeting today (Aug. 20). Members of the city’s co-ordinated enforcement committee have been mulling the bathroom issue for some time and are encouraging council to set up a pilot project for the family washrooms, as they are also known, next year. Kamloops RCMP have expressed concerns about the washrooms in the past. Because they are generally constructed as single rooms with lockable doors, police worry such washrooms could become hubs for illicit behaviour or become sites for assaults in city parks. But, in a letter to council in this week’s agenda, Heather Brandon, executive director of People in Motion, said having a family washroom would make Kamloops more inclusive. “With no accessible gender-neutral washroom, many are excluded from attend-

ing events at Riverside Park if they require assistance from their

spouse or if their caregiver is a different gender,” Brandon

wrote as she urged council to get behind the pilot program.

Flashback to the mid nineties; the Hotel Vancouver, an eager looking group of a dozen or so assemble in a meeting room to learn about the wines of France. Before us, two wine educators: Park Heffelfinger and Mark Davidson. We are about to embark on an eight week journey through the wine regions of France, sample 200 plus wines and learn a little about the food associated with each region.

Aside from the obvious challenge of trying to plan a menu that satisfies 30 – 40 individual tastes, there is also the dilemma of ‘how to pair”. Some wines call for complementary foods, others a contrast, we also try to take into consideration, acid, sugar, tannins and alcohol. Sometimes, wines are new releases, still settling in their bottles. Other times, we might feature a rare, older wine that may have lost it’s edge.

When I look back, that experience almost 20 years ago formed the basis of many “a-ha” experiences with wine and food pairings over the years. After all, it made perfect sense that the intense and complex Syrah we experienced from appellations like St. Joseph, Hermitage and Cornas in the northern Rhone would pair beautifully with the grilled meat, rich stews and game common to the region.

In this season of abundance, here are some pairing suggestions that you can try from three different wine producing regions in BC. Ripe Okanagan peaches and Naramata’s Tiger Blue Cheese with Kelowna’s Quail’s Gate late Harvest Optima, Roasted eggplant, ( I can hear you eggplant haters out there – but trust me this will work) confit garlic and goat cheese puree spread on baguette and warmed Today, the simple principle of in the oven with Kamloops’own pairing local food with wine Harper’s Trail Riesling.

Project postponed The City of Kamloops will likely postpone a major reconfiguration of the intersections closest to city hall until next year to avoid jacking up the cost of the $1.8-million project by another $400,000. The reconfiguration, which the city put out to the public for feedback early this year, would have allowed drivers to move north and south between First Avenue and Lorne Street, added new traffic lights and replaced a merging-lane connection at Victoria and

Lansdowne streets with a green space. However, when it came time to tender the project ,city staff received only one bid for the job, which was well above the city’s budget. Staff are asking council to defer the work until 2014, when the city plans to put the project out to tender sooner in hopes of securing a better price. Other road work the city had planned to roll into the project, including a resurfacing of Lansdowne, will go ahead in 2013.

Sun Rivers on drive for food Sun Rivers’ annual collection drive for the Kamloops Food Bank will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 21, with the goal being to collect 4,000 pounds of food. Knowing the food bank struggles year-round to keep food on the shelves for those in need, Sun Rivers decided in 2010 to arrange an annual food bank drive to help fill the food-bank shelves in the late summer months. In 2010, Sun Rivers collecting 1,500 pounds of food and $400 in cash donations. In 2011, 1,700 pounds of good and $300 in cash donations were collected. Last year, 2,750 pounds of food was collected. Hoodoos at Sun Rivers and the Sun Rivers Pro Shop have also been encouraging patrons to participate by offering a chance to win golf for two and a 50 per cent off breakfast offer for those who bring in a minimum two-item donation — an offer available until Aug. 21, with no purchase required.

10 Ways of helping our children. While providing them with a comfortable home, a healthy environment and a good diet are all important concerns, but what can we do to help them even more? To allow them to grow to their full potential and to confront the challenges which they will face at school as well as in their personal lives? Here are ten tips and courses of action which aim to help parents promote and support their children’s development and in this way better help them on their path towards adulthood. 1- A structured lifestyle: children benefit from, and feel more secure, when they have a structured lifestyle. This is why daily routines are so important. 2- Plenty of sleep: sleep is an important factor in a child’s development. Many specialists believe that sleep is as important as a good diet. Between the ages of 3 and 5 years, a child needs an average of 12 hours of sleep per day. At the age of 10 this will change to 10 hours. 3- Clear rules of behaviour: all children need love but they also need guidelines and limits allowing them to control their behaviour within the family as well as in society. Parents must know how to set clear rules and put them into practice in a flexible but consistent manner. As well as equipping them for the future, this lifestyle will show children they are important in the eyes of their parents, which will, in return, reinforce the children’s respect for them. 4- Responsibilities: the fact of giving them responsibilities helps children to become independent and increases their self-confidence. Of course, these responsibilities must be adapted to their age and capabilities.

5- Encourage them to be active: the benefits of physical exercise and fresh air for children can never be emphasized enough. Encouraging them to play a sport or just to be physically active by playing outside, can only help their development, both physical and psychological. 6- Good communications: knowing how to talk and discuss things with your children will encourage a climate of confidence and personal growth by teaching them to express themselves. Try and find appropriate moments for these discussions, whether they are about television programs, family activities or daily life. 7- Support their dreams: having dreams is important for children and for their visualization of the future. Whether they are realistic or not, these dreams should be taken seriously and should never be ridiculed or discouraged by adults. 8- Praise them: Encouraging and praising your children, congratulating them for their successes and their initiatives, will not only stimulate them in the learning process but will also help them to build a good self-image.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Plan before you open your wallet Getting ready to go back to school? A recent report by Ernst and Young says Canadians will spend four per cent more this year than in 2012. Before you dive into buying new clothes and supplies, check out these back-to-school budget tips from the Better Business Bureau:

Make a shopping list Even if you don’t know the exact school supply list, you should get an idea of school clothing and other school needs. Make a list for each child, but start by “shopping at home” for items that you may already have left over from last year. For some items, it’s worth spending a bit more (a high-quality backpack will last for years).

Create a budget Do a quick price search online for the items on your list and add them all up. Be sure to clip coupons and make note of discount codes and any cashback or rebate programs. If your goal is to reduce spending,

now is the time to decide how much you want to cut.

Take advantage of discounts Many stores offer student and teacher discounts on hot items like laptops and uniforms. Retailers will be trying to make room for fall fashion and the newest models, so there are incredible savings to be had on older items.

Know the true cost of what you are purchasing You might be moving out for the first time and buying new furniture. If you are buying an item on credit, make sure you are aware of not only the interest rate being charged, but any additional fees and costs associated with purchasing on credit including late payment charges. If you engage in cross-border shopping, factor in the cost of gas, duty taxes, and any other additional costs associated with getting your goods back home. For more tips you can trust, go online to mbc.bbb.org.

Before you dive into buying new clothes and supplies for your kids, the Better Business Bureau suggests you follow its tips on back-to-school shopping.

BACK TO SCHOOL

They’re leaving the nest! The majority of post-secondary students (64 per cent) plan to live away from home while attending school this fall, despite expecting the cost to be about 50 per cent higher than those living at home, according to the 2013 RBC Student Finances Poll. Of those students living away, 83 per cent are confident in their ability to manage their finances. “For many students, post-secondary school is the first time they are responsible for managing their own expenses,” said Melissa Jarman, RBC’s director of student banking. “Armed with a budget and an interest in learning, many of these students are gaining a strong foundation out of the gates that can have a significant impact on their financial future. Good financial habits should be as important as study habits for post-secondary students.” Despite confidence in their ability, almost 78 per cent of students living at home say they still have “a lot to learn” when it comes to managing finances, with 36 per cent assuming their parents will take care of their financial needs. Only 25 per cent of those living away from home make that same assumption about their parents. While students who live away expect to take on 40 per cent more debt than their peers who live at home ($30,800 compared to $22,000), the RBC poll found both groups expect to pay back debt in a

similar time frame. Those who live away expect to take 4.8 years to pay back their debt, while those who live at home expect to take 4.2 years. “Whether you live at home or away, setting financial goals and sticking to them is important,” Jarman said. “The results from this poll highlight the fact that students want to take responsibility for their financial health and are looking to their trusted sources, including their parents, for guidance.” To help students manage their finances, Jarman offers the following tips:

Putting money aside on a regular basis will give you a head start when it’s time to move out.

Living away at school:

Living at home: Understand your household expenses: Your parents may be footing the bill, but getting an understanding of how much it costs to run the household will be helpful in forecasting future expenses for when you do live on your own. Make a budget: While you might not be responsible for household expenses, you will likely experience transportation/parking costs, student fees, clothing, entertainment and food (likely including a morning cup of coffee). Save for later: Living at home through school could give you an opportunity to save for your future.

Know all your financial options: Look for scholarships, bursaries and work programs to help fund your education. Track your expenses: From utilities to groceries, knowing where your money is going is the first step to establishing a budget. Also, if you’re living with roommates, decide in advance how you will share costs to ensure there aren’t any surprises. Assess your needs: Do you need your own car or can you take advantage of public transit? Can you rent your textbooks or buy used ones from your campus bookstore? Can you change your mobile plan to ensure you’re only paying for what you need?

For both groups: Ask for student rates everywhere you go: From the bus to the movies, retailers often give discounts to students. Be disciplined about debt: Whether that’s using a credit card for everyday spending or taking out a loan to offset tuition costs, understanding all the factors that impact the cost of borrowing money will put you in control.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Four essential items for back-to-school We can’t escape the fact a new school year is synonymous with the inevitable trips to the stores to get everything that the children need. Of course you should always try a keep to your budget but, for some essential items, quality should always be your priority. • Running shoes: Growing children need goodquality sports shoes to keep their feet healthy. Even though leather remains a big favourite because of its durability, lots of running shoes made with synthetic materials combine flexibility, lightness and resilience. Choose shoes with foam soles for extra comfort. • Backpacks: Choose a backpack no wider than the child’s back and shoulders. Look for one made of canvas (avoid plastic) that has several compartments and padded shoulder straps at

least five centimetres wide. Pay particular attention to the sturdiness of the zippers and stitching. • Plastic containers: There are two reasons why you should invest in good-quality plastic lunch containers: Buying reusable items is great for the environment and spills in the bottom of lunch boxes will be avoided. Forget about using old margarine and cottage cheese containers. • Thermal containers: You should never skimp when food safety is at stake. Your choice of a thermal container is crucial for your child’s health. The temperature of a hot meal should always stay above 60C, so it is recommended to use a thermal container made of stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation.

Grab those lists and prepare to buy supplies And, they’re off — the race to buy school supplies has begun. The time has come to head out to the stores with your list at the ready in search of school supplies, clothing, backpacks and lunch boxes. After all, you want your children to have everything they need for the school year and for their teacher’s class list. Here are a few tips to help you stay calm during all the tumult. Examine the list of supplies requested by the school.

These detailed lists can be big orders to fill, so start early, take your time and do it right. Some stores organize their school-supply section based on the lists supplied by the schools, while others offer personalized help in finding items on the list. Check flyers in KTW from stores before leaving home. Buy some items — pencils, pads of paper and exercise books — in larger quantities. That way, you’ll have everything at hand if your children run out during the school year.

Get in Sync with the Sunrays Synchronized swimming combines athleticism, artistry and teamwork in a challenging, supportive and fun environment

Keep in mind selecting products of a lesser quality could cause you a few headaches if they break or wear out too quickly. What you should be looking for is the best quality/price ratio. Include your children in this shopping trip if they express the desire to accompany you, but be sure to set certain limits before you leave home. Let them know if there is a budget for extras and, if not, remind them they are meant to be helpers rather than shoppers.

It’s time to fall for ﬁtness Back-to-school is a time to get back to routines and focus on school and work, but the change in activity and cooling weather often results in a more sedentary lifestyle. We all know that being active is good for us. Not only does it keep us healthier, activity can also reduce stress and it helps us adjust to shorter hours of daylight and to our new fall schedules. To help achieve your fitness goals and stay motivated, start with these simple steps: • Park further away or get off the bus a stop or two earlier and walk the rest of the way. • Invite your spouse and kids to take a walk with you after dinner and use the time to reconnect and get a bit of fresh air before settling down to homework and other chores. • Exercise has the additional benefit of helping to

improve sleep. • Encourage your kids to get involved in athletics at school. School sports are a great way to build friendships, a sense of teamwork and inject fun into an active lifestyle. • Encourage activity breaks between studying. Even a short break to stretch will help your child focus and maintain energy levels • Make sure you have the right gear to keep everyone motivated. Comfortable, well-fitting sportswear and athletic shoes will make every activity more enjoyable. Look for brands with a reputation for style and durability.

Naylor aging swimmingly, ready for Games By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

HIS 83-YEAROLD KAMLOOPS ATHLETE FEELS LIKE SHE IS JUST GETTING STARTED. Elizabeth Naylor is often slicing through the water at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre pool before most have had their first sip of morning coffee. It is her regular routine — but, this week things are a little different. Naylor isn’t just there for the fun or exercise — she is prepping for the BC Seniors Games, which get underway today (Aug. 20). Naylor is slated to swim in six events in the women’s 80- to 84-yearold division: The 25m, 50m and 100m backstroke events, along with the 25m, 50m and 100m freestyle races. The Games’ swimming events run at the Canada Games pool from Thursday, Aug. 22, to Saturday, Aug. 24. Naylor, who had never been the competitive type, began swimming 10 years ago after a friend convinced her to give it a try. While some might have their doubts about entering a sport competitively for the first time at 73, Naylor not only won multiple podium positions, but nabbed gold as well. After that, she was hooked. “From then on in,

s WORK HARD

Elizabeth Naylor of Kamloops is not letting age get in the way of excercise — or competition. The 83-year-old is scheduled to participate in six swimming events at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre during the B.C. Seniors Games, which get underway today (Aug. 20) in the Tournament Capital and wrap up on Saturday, Aug. 24. Cavelle Layes/KTW

I don’t think I was allowed to quit,” Naylor said laughing, explaining the entire swim team welcomed her with open arms. Swimming has now become a major part of Naylor’s life and she credits the sport for keeping her healthy, happy and in great shape. “I am not wasting away at home,” she said. Naylor said she even tries to make a point whenever she goes on vacation to track down the local pool and makes sure she has her swim gear packed. She is a regular face at the local Kamloops pools, taking time to get in a swim

most mornings. While she enjoys leisurely swimming, Naylor admits to loving the feeling of the competition. “I think a little competition is good for everyone,” she said. Despite a wall covered in medals, Naylor doesn’t let her success go to her head, explaining that she always walks into a competition knowing there is a chance she might lose. “I get very, very nervous and, if anyone tells you they aren’t nervous, they are lying,” Naylor said. The pre-competition jitters help her stay focused. “You do get a little

uptight, but it is good for you whether you win a medal or not,” Naylor said. “It isn’t about the medal, it is about getting out there and knowing you can do it.” “You can’t always win it, though. “Sometimes, there’s just people better than you, faster than you. That’s how it is and you just take it as it comes.” The competition isn’t the only thing that keeps Naylor coming back to the Games each year. “I enjoy the whole deal of it,” Naylor said. “Friday night they have a banquet and a dance afterwards and it is very interesting.” Naylor has had the opportunity to meet

many different people from different walks of life and has heard a plethora of inspiring stories. The spry 83-year-old is also the Kamloops Games’ swimming co-ordinator, a job she holds with pride. Her love of the sport has her seeing no end in sight, she said, explaining she won’t be letting a silly thing like age get in the way. “We had a lady in her 90s swimming last year and a man who was 94,” Naylor said. “Swimming is keeping me in good condition and it’s better than sitting around doing nothing all day.”

Football Conference play on Saturday, Aug. 17. “I think the effort and the execution in the first half was great on defence and special teams,” Broncos head coach Duncan Olthuis said. “Our offence, even though we had some bright spots every once in a while, we’d go cold and then our defence goes cold and we can’t do that.” Kamloops running back Jacob Palmarin plunged into the end zone from two yards out to register Kamloops’ only touchdown of the game — a play set up by Broncos’ defensive lineman Braden McCarthy, who recovered an Okanagan fumble on the Sun two-yard line. The Broncos held the Sun to 135 offensive yards in the first half and the home team had an 8-2 lead when the whistle sounded to signal the end of the second quarter. Kamloops was unable to carry the momentum

through to the third quarter. Olthuis took a risk with a short kickoff to start the second half, but the Sun recovered and promptly marched down the field for a major. “Coaching-wise, we took a chance in the second half that kind of blew up in our face, with the short kick,” Olthuis said. “But, you’ve got to take chances.” Okanagan quarterback Theo Deezar connected on two touchdowns passes to ice the game in the fourth stanza. He finished with a solid stat line — 12 for 24 for 216 yards, with three touchdown passes and no interceptions. Bronco pivot Connor Whitelaw was 14 for 33 for 154 yards and three interceptions. Kamloops was without two of its starting offensive linemen, Kyle Crall and Jack Gilliland, both of whom were out with ankle injuries. “With our backup O-line in there, I think they [the offence] performed pretty well,” Olthuis said. “When we get those guys back, it adds more stability.” Gilliland is expected to return on Saturday, Aug. 24, when the Vancouver Island

Raiders are in town. Game time is 7 p.m. at Hillside. Crall’s status is uncertain for Saturday’s tilt. The Nanaimo-based Raiders are 2-2 on the season after thumping the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack 56-3 on Saturday on Vancouver Island. Kamloops has yet to record a win at 0-3-1. Olthuis is banking on his team feeding off its performance in the first half of its latest defeat. “With the guys looking at that game, they know that we can compete with any team in this league, if we put up that type of effort each week,” Olthuis said. “Unfortunately, in the second half, there were too many little mental mistakes.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Armstrong wrangles bronze at worlds Dylan Armstrong won a bronze medal in the shot-put event at the World Track and Field Championships in Moscow. The Kamloops native’s throw of 21.34 metres on Friday, Aug. 16, was his best of the season and good enough to claim a medal at Luzhniki Stadium. David Storl of Germany won gold with a toss of 21.73 metres, while American Ryan Whiting snared silver with a throw of 21.57 metres.

Hewitt closes in on national-team spot Jessica Hewitt of Kamloops had a strong showing at the Canadian short track speed skating team selection camp in Montreal on the weekend and it is likely she will be included on the squad. An official announcement has not yet been made by Speed Skating Canada but, if Hewitt does crack the roster, she will compete in Asia in the coming weeks before World Cup events in Italy and Russia. The World Cup races double as qualifiers for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.

Keiffer Johnson and Zach Morgan of the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club (KCKC) also earned medals at the Games. Johnson won bronze in the C1 200m final on Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Stage One’s ‘most ambitious production to date’ Snow White features cast of 25 kids, including many from out of town By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

HEY ONLY had 14 days to cast roles, create music, learn lines, construct sets and rehearse — a time period that might seem daunting to even the best in the business. What’s even more impressive is that the cast consists completely of children.

Despite many challenges and a short timeline, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is set to hit the stage this weekend. The production is being put on by Stage One Theatre School, an acting class that helps kids with the acting bug take their passion to a professional level. Children from the ages of seven to 17 come together for a

two-week period to learn professional technique while producing a production. “Not only do we have 25 great kids, but we have 25 amazing parents,” director Melissa Thomas said. While some of the students taking part this year are from Kamloops, there are a number of who travel from outside of town. “Some put in over

two hours of driving time each day,” Thomas said. “It isn’t only the kids who are investing a lot into this. “We couldn’t do it without the parents.” Katie Newton is taking part in the class for the first time this year. While the 15-yearold — who plays the Evil Queen — said being a part of such a talented team is intimidating, she has enjoyed the experience. “Everyone is really welcoming,” she said. “It is not my first experience in theatre,

but it is definitely the biggest.” At just 11 years old, Caitlyn Anson of Coquitlam has taken on the role of Snow White. While playing the lead role in the production has meant some added pressure, the young star is excited for the opportunity. “I like being able to play someone who you can’t really be in everyday life,” she said. This year, the Stage One class has taken on an even greater challenge. With just two weeks to prepare, they decided

Photo contest celebrates beauty in imperfection The Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness (PEDAW) campaign is hunting for images that celebrate the beauty of imperfection and capture the campaign’s subtheme, Perfect is Boring, for a provincewide photo contest. “I’m so excited for this contest,” said Amy Pezzente, coordinator for PEDAW. “I think it has the potential to challenge perfectionism and the standards of real beauty.” Pezzente said she understands the pull of perfectionism all too well. “I wanted the perfect life, the perfect body, the perfect job, “ she said, noting she struggled with an eating disorder for a number of years.

“After feeling overwhelmed with all my shortcomings of ‘not enough,’ I had to learn the hard way that there really is no such thing as perfect.” Pezzente has since recovered from her eating disorder. “I truly believe that there is no such thing as perfect and, with this contest, we hope you can realize it too,” she said. “Perfect is boring.” The top three winners will receive official “Love our Bodies, Love Ourselves” wristbands and Perfect is Boring T-shirts. PEDAW is a provincewide effort to raise awareness around prevention and early intervention of eating disorders as well as media literacy, resiliency, build-

ing healthy body image and selfesteem. The initiative is led by Jessie’s Legacy Eating Disorders Prevention Program at Family Services of the North Shore in collaboration with Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre, Looking Glass Foundation, St. Paul’s Specialized Adult Eating Disorder Program, BC Children’s Hospital Eating Disorders Program and Healthy Minds, Healthy Campuses. Deadline for submissions is Aug. 31. For more information or to submit photos, email pedaw@ mail.com. Full contest information is available at bit.ly/ PerfectisBoring.

Proceeds from show go to Vandenberghe Memorial Bursary “It is a pretty big commitment and it doesn’t end when they go home at night,” she said. “When they leave here they are taking their scripts and music and choreography with them. “People need to understand that when you are watching them, you aren’t watching kids, you are watching professionals.” This year’s production has some other minor changes to it as well. “It is a lot more serious this year,” 14-yearold Jenny MacKay said. This is McKay’s third production with Stage One and she feels, compared to previous shows, this play has dropped the laughs and got down to business. Thomas echoed that sentiment. “We have adopted more of the Brothers Grimm’s version of Snow White rather than the Disney version,” Thomas said. “It is a lot darker.” Audience members can expect challenging and entertaining scripts, as well as creative music and dance, when Snow White hits the stage this weekend. Admission is by donation, however those who would like to see the play are advised to come early. “I think word has gotten out that it’s not like watching a kid’s school play,” said Jennifer Jones, Stage One instructor. She noted last year’s show saw the lobby fill up with eager audience members as soon as the doors opened. “They were waiting outside,” she said. Snow White and the

Seven Dwarfs will be playing three shows this weekend, with opening night taking place Friday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m.. Saturday, Aug. 24, will see a 2 p.m. performance and a 7 p.m. encore. All money raised by the event will be put back into the program, including the Henry Vandenberghe Memorial Bursary, which is given to kids who couldn’t otherwise afford to take part in the Stage One program.

Reba McEntire puts Kamloops on her tour map Country-music legend Reba McEntire will be in Kamloops on Friday, Oct. 11, for a 7:30 p.m. show at Interior Savings Centre. Opening for her will be Gord Bamford, who broke onto the Canadian country-music scene in January 2001 with his debut album, God’s Green Earth. McEntire has sold 56-million albums worldwide and has more awards than any mantelpiece could hold, including 15 American Music Awards, 13 American Country Music Awards, nine People’s Choice Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards, two Grammies and the National Artistic Achievement Award from the U.S. Congress. She’s one of four entertainers to receive the recognition from the political body. McEntire started her musical career while in high school, singing in the school band, on local radio shows and at rodeos. While in college, she performed the American national anthem at a rodeo in Oklahoma City, catching the eye of countrymusic singer Red Steagall. He took her to Nashville and she signed with Mercury Records in 1976, releasing her first solo album two years later. McEntire moved into another side of performing in 1990 when she co-starred with Kevin Bacon in Tremors, playing part of a couple who had built themselves a nuclear refuge filled with guns. She starred in Annie Get Your Gun on

Broadway, on television in Reba — for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award — and Malibu Country, which was cancelled after its first season. Her last tour, All The Women I Am, led Billboard magazine to declare her the No. 1 female country touring artist. Bamford has opened shows for Tim McGraw, Kenny Rogers, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Don Williams and Terri Clark. In 2005 and 2006, he was nominated for independent male vocalist of the year, independent song of the year and Rising Star awards by the Canadian Country Music Association. His first single GORD BAMFORD: Set to open for Reba from Honkytonks and McEntire in Kamloops. Heartaches — Blame It On That Red Dress — was his first Top 20 hit on Canadian country-singles charts. His most recent album, Is It Friday Yet?, was released last year. Tickets are $69.50 and $89.50 for reserved seating, plus service charges and taxes, and go on sale Friday, Aug. 23, at 10 a.m. Tickets are available at the venue box office, online at ticketmaster.ca or by calling 1-855-985-5000.

The 2014 model might be Jeep’s best Compass yet STORY/B8

B uckle up with B rittany

Last week I got to test drive the new 2012 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE. This car was centre of attention everywhere it went! It was so much fun and enjoyable to drive with the roof off. I love that with a push of a button I can easily turn this car into a convertible. It had lots of power whether you were driving in auto or using the sport shifter. Very smooth and handled really well, I felt super comfortable while driving it. I was very impressed with fuel economy. Being a 2 door it still had so much space that my 3 year old loved riding in it.

Now it’s your turn! Come test drive it yourself! IN 2013 EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A RAM

Jeep has labelled its 2014 Compass “the most capable compact SUV,” and it’s seen here in Limited 4X4 trim featuring a new sixspeed automatic transmission, along with a list of added refinements inside and out.

Compass won’t lead you astray By Rob Beintema METROLAND MEDIA wheelstalk.com

HE 2014 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED IS AS PRETTY AS A PICTURE. The yearly upgrades continue this summer for the latest model year with new exterior touches and tweaks. There’s more emphasis on the trademark Jeep face, with new plated upper grille trim and billet silver grille textures gleaming on high-end models. This top-of-the–line Limited version also adds sport projector halogen headlamp assemblies with a black inner bezel (or sur-

round) around the headlights, along with new chrome fog-lamp bezels. That theme continues in back with smoked inner bezels around the taillamps and a new chrome insert topping the tailgate trim. The Compass Limited also stands on new 18-inch aluminum wheels that help emphasize a new and more aggressive presence for this compact sportcute. Exterior refinements are also reflected inside the Compass Limited. This as-tested model comes dressed in one of the new interior trim options — saddle brown perforated leather seating with accent stitching and matching

colour door treatments. The tan tones might not be to everyone’s taste, but I thought the leather struck a nice note set against a black textured interior that has come a long way from the crappy boom-box plastics of the past. Illuminated cupholders also emphasize the reach toward refinement. The instrument cluster graphics have also been updated and satin chrome finishes on some interior trim pieces subtly highlight the new cockpit.

Announcement The management and staff of River City Nissan would like to welcome

Ezra Majnaric to their sales department. Ezra has over 5 years of sales experience, and is always conscious of the customer’s needs. He would like to invite all his friends, family, past customers and future customers to come see him in his new Nissan home!

Interior tweaks set 2014 Compass apart X From B8

Front-seat-mounted side air bags now come standard on all models and the Compass also includes a new noise-reducing acoustic windshield. The 2014 Jeep Compass comes in a variety of trim levels, two engine choices with varying transmission selections, and in 4X2 or 4X4 configurations. But, because the new 2014 models are just coming to market, Chrysler Canada’s Jeep website seems to be a step behind, still listing 2013 specs, although customers should be able to explore the different model and trim choices as soon as the site is updated. But, I can tell you this as-tested Compass Limited 4X4 version ($27,795) comes just about as well-equipped as you would expect from a top-of-the-line model, with standard items that include auto climate control, power windows, power locks, power/heated foldaway mirrors, a six-way power drivers seat, heated leather seating, steering wheel-mounted audio/ info/phone/cruise controls, keyless entry, fog lamps, 60/40 fold-flat rear seat, fold-flat passenger seat, 115-volt accessory power and

Chrysler’s Uconnect 130 AM/FM/ CD/MP3 audio system. A full range of options bumps our as-tested price to $34,425. The cabin is roomy enough for five with comfortable seating for a compact and with a capable cargo area that will swallow 643 litres — or 1,519 litres with the second row folded flat. A few interesting features in this tester worth mentioning include the relatively rare fold-flat front passenger seat that enables long and awkward cargos. And, two articulating rear speakers will make you either the scourge of the neighbourhood or the life of the party at the next tailgate gathering. I could go on and on about content but the biggest change for the 2014 Compact lies deeper beneath the skin of the Compass with a new 6F24 six-speed automatic transmission that replaces the much-complained-about CVT in most applications. A five-speed manual is still the base transmission for lower trim levels but the new Hyundai Powertech-sourced six-speed auto is an optional choice and standard in this Limited model. The six-speed tranny is a com-

deep snow, sand and other lowtraction challenges. An upgraded Jeep Freedom Drive II 4X4 system combined with a second-generation CVT transmission is available for more serious off-road bush-bashing — steeper grades, occasional wheel lift and rock or log climbing. And, we should round off the Compass Limited’s equipment list with the healthy dose of more than 30 safety and security features on board, including the new standard front-seat-mounted side air bags, a new available rear backup camera, front- and side-curtain airbags, electronic stability program, electronic roll mitigation, Hill Start Assist, tire-pressure monitoring, four-wheel ABS disk brakes and LATCH child-seat anchors. It’s a pretty competent package for a very competitive compact SUV market. And, while cynics might decry this as the Compass’ swan song in light of a rumoured Fiat-based replacement for 2015, when you tally up the addition of the new six-speed automatic, improved fuel economy and a list of new refinements inside and out, it’s not a stretch to consider the 2014 model the best Compass ever built.

The 2014 Jeep Compass Limited 4X4 features a full suite of instruments and controls, along with an enhanced Uconnect system, including Bluetooth voice-activated communications and navigational system.

Engine r.p.m. have been lowered significantly, especially when cruising the highway in top gear, and the transmission’s fill-for-life design should also lower maintenance cost. This transmission can be mated to either of the carryover fourcylinder engines — the base 2.0litre engine (158 horse power, 141 pound-foot) or the 2.4-litre motor (172 horse power, 165 pound-foot) that is available on all models and standard on the Limited. The 2.4-litre World Engine features dual variable-valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts, a performance enhancing technology that Jeep boasts is not typically available on vehicles in Compass’ price class. As tested here, the 2.4-litre I4 is rated at 10/7.4L/100km (city/hwy). My real-world combined results average closer to 11L/100km. This Compass Limited 4X4 matches the new six-speed tranny to Jeep’s Freedom Drive I system, a full-time, active four-wheeldrive, really an all-wheel-drive system that responds to slick roads and challenging weather conditions. But it also features a fourwheel-drive lock mode to handle

Chevrolet will be showcasing a host of new convenience and safety enhancements to its lineup at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Ford is proving pickups can be green and tough by adding rice hulls to the list of sustainable materials used to build F-150. Ford is using plastic reinforced with rice hulls — a byproduct of rice grain — in an electrical harness in the 2014 F-150. The company will need at least 20,400 kilograms of hulls in the first year. Rice hull-reinforced plastic is the most recent example of Ford researchers and engineers using sustainable material whenever possible in the F-Series — without compromising toughness and durability. F-Series trucks already feature: • Recycled cotton: Used as carpet insulation and a sound absorber; every 2014 F-150 contains enough recycled cotton to make the equivalent of 10 pairs of jeans. • Soybeans: Used to make seat cushions, seat backs and head restraints. • Recycled carpet: Some F-150 trucks have cylinder head covers made with EcoLon, a nylon resin produced from 100 percent post-consumer recycled carpet. • Recycled tires: A thermoplastic material made from recycled tires. tion of the popular city car.

Mom touched by KTW readers’ generosity By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The story of Crystle Booth and her two children touched a lot of hearts — and led to many offering to help the paraplegic mom in her quest to replace her vehicle. Booth had been reluctant to contact the media with her story, not wanting to look like she had her hand out, but a local advocate encouraged her. The result was a story about a mom left paralyzed in an accident that also killed her husband, the father of her two then-young children. After months of rehabilitation, Booth returned home determined to make a life for her family. She bought a van, had it adapted to allow her to drive and became the mom who organized

barbecues and other events at her children’s school, who drove to all the sports events, cultural activities and who didn’t let her disability rule her life. The van was totalled in an accident after a drunk driver hit her, so Booth saved for a second van, had it adapted and continued living life with her now-teenaged children, only to have the vehicle totalled in another accident. Still, she soldiered on, having her children push her in her wheelchair to the nearby bus stop, taking cabs and finally getting registered for HandyDart service. But, Booth said, she wants to be able to go to the driveway, unlock her own van, get in and go to the grocery store with her kids or take them to the movies. The June KTW story

Crystle Booth’s children Taylor (left) and Mackenzie survived the crash that killed their dad and left mom a paraplegic. Booth has stayed as active as she can in her now-teenaged kids’ lives, but two accidents with adapted vans — neither her fault — have left her without the cash she needs to again replace the vehicle. She has, however, been touched by the generosity of Kamloops This Week readers.

on Booth’s situation led to readers stepping up to help, offering to provide her with rides, to give her an old van, to donate some of the adaptive equipment

she might need — that $30,000 part of her goal had already been looked after by her — and who came to the KTW office with donations that added up to

needs to get for the adapted equipment to work, it’s another big step forward. Booth said she’s been surprised by the reaction to her story.

In Loving Memory of MARGARET SUSAN TURNER December 19, 1920 ~ August 14, 2011

Gary is lovingly remembered by his wife Joanne, daughter Jennafer (Justin) of Kamloops BC, son Josh of Andrew, Alberta, grandson Logan, brothers and sister: Jack (Gail), Bill (Connie), Linda (Blake) and Don (Sandy). He is also remembered by his Aunt Edith Lang of Richmond BC, as well as several cousins, nieces, nephews and a circle of treasured friends.

Norman Elliot Hicks aged 75 years passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, August 11, 2013. Survived by wife Delores; sons Clinton (Lark) and Jeffrey (Darbie); grandchildren Benjamin and Kimberlee (Chris); nieces and nephews Tanja, Lori, Jason, Justin, Leanne, Deborah, Garry, Barry, Michelle and Darren, as well as many relatives and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Benjamin and Lydia, and brothers Frank and Ken. Norm is at peace and is in a better place now. We all will miss him very much. He was a father of two boys, Clint and Jeff, and a grandfather of two, Kim and Ben and Chris by marriage to Kim. Norm worked hard all his life as a mechanic and supervisor at Arrow Transfer and Magnum Trailer, and IRL Truck Shops. Dee is his wife of ﬁfty-four years and along with everyone else, will miss him very much. See you later Norm. A Celebration of Life will be held at his son’s farm, 8536 Deroche Landing Rd., Deroche, BC on Saturday, August 17th at 4:00 pm. In lieu of ﬂowers donations may be made to Canadian Lung Association.

Gary was born in Kamloops, graduated from Norkam Secondary and went on to a 30 year career as a cable technician. Gary was a deeply caring family man who loved to be around family and friends. He was hardworking, dependable, and was the first person to offer a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Gary was passionate about life, had a great sense of humor and enjoyed a good joke. He was an avid sportsman who enjoyed fishing, softball, camping but his passion was hockey (Edmonton Oilers). Gary played hockey at a competitive level and later shared his love of the game through his coaching. A celebration of Gary’s life will be held on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 11:00 am at the Southwest Baptist Church 700 Hugh Allan Drive, Kamloops with reception immediately following. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Foundation, 120-540 Seymour St, Kamloops BC, V2C 2G9 or the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 729 Victoria St., Kamloops BC V2C 2B5 Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Restyou in Peace. Love always, YourLove, son, Ron Your son, Ron Yourdaughter, daughter, Bev Your Beverley and all your family and all your family

Every day, she said, she would encounter someone who had read it. “I, too, am touched by how generous people can be, especially those who have so little to give,” Booth said. “The kids and I still have a battle ahead of us, as its unrealistic that we will be able to come up with the remaining $19 000. “My daughter and I have a few ideas on how to raise money and I have faith.”

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.
