‘One of our offi cers is going to pay the ultimate price and get killed on the job’

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected]

A pair of assaults

last week by inmates

on Kamloops prison

guards is evidence

of a growing prob-

lem — one that could

see a corrections

officer killed on the

job, according to the

spokesman for the

union representing

B.C.’s guards.

B.C. Government

Employees’ Union cor-

rections and sheriffs

spokesman Dean Purdy

said two Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre guards were assaulted last week by inmates in separate incidents.

On Tuesday, June 14, a male corrections officer was spit on by a prisoner.

On Friday, June 17, a female guard had a bucket of urine dumped on her head.

“These are just two of a number of assaults we’ve had at KRCC in the past few months,” Purdy said, estimating the number at eight

or nine.

“Not all of them get

reported, but this is not

an isolated incident or

a one-off.”

Purdy said the

inmates responsible

will likely be disci-

plined internally for

both assaults, but they

could also face crimi-

nal charges.

Kamloops RCMP

Staff Sgt. Grant

Learned said Mounties are looking into the urine incident, but he wouldn’t offer any additional details.

“I can confirm we did receive an assault complaint where a KRCC guard alleges that a vessel containing a liquid was deliberate-ly thrown at the guard, with the contents landing on the guard,” Learned said.

Purdy said spitting is somewhat common as far as jailhouse assaults go, but dump-ing urine on a guard’s

head is relatively rare.“It has happened in

the past, but it’s not something that happens all the time,” he said.

“It’s a reality of just how violent and how dangerous our job is inside the correctional centres.”

Purdy said the nine provincial jails in B.C. — including KRCC — are between 170 per cent and 180 per cent over capacity.

“It stands to reason that the stress and agitation levels of the inmates [because of

overcrowding] are going to be very high,” he said.

“Any time you throw overcrowding in the mix, the risk increases for correc-tions officers.

“There’s been a number of serious assaults on corrections officers in the last few years.

“Our concern is one of these days, because of overcrowding, one of our officers is going to pay the ultimate price and get killed on the job.”

Union spokesman says overcrowding in KRCC is leading to attacks on guards

Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre has been the site of eight or nine assaults on guards in the past few months, according to B.C. Government Employees’ Union corrections and sheriffs spokesman Dean Purdy. KTW file photo

Amanda Fjeld doesn’t know if she’s a water hog or a H2O saver, but the newly installed water meter in her house will clear up any uncertainty.

The Dallas resident was the first of 20,000 Kamloops homeowners who will switch to water meters over the next three years.

On Monday, June 20, Fjeld opened her home and the wall that covers the meter to the media and the city, to mark the start of the universal water-meter program.

The homeowner appeared to be content with the fancy new gadget inside the wall.

Fjeld believes meters will help make people accountable for their water usage.

“Hopefully, it will encourage people to use a little bit less,” she said.

Once installed, an antenna attached to the meter sends a reading to a truck, allowing the company in charge of installing the meters, Neptune Technologies, to get a read-ing from the street.

That information is downloaded to a computer and then uploaded to billing software.

In the case of Fjeld, her husband opened the wall prior to the installation, but Neptune can do the work and patch it up during the process in most cases.

It took about 45 minutes for the meter — which can be held by hand — to be installed.

Fjeld said the only inconvenience during the installation was having the water shut off.

The majority of residents can expect the same experience when it’s their turn for water meters.

Jeff Flewelling, project manager for Neptune, said the typical installation time runs about 90 minutes.

He noted the company is operating Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., to accommo-date appointments for working homeowners.

“This process is not extremely disruptive,” Flewelling said, adding most homeowners can find the water valves where the meters are installed in either a basement or crawl space.

It’s expected about 10 per cent of residents will need to have the water meter installed on the exterior of the home.

The city is starting the task in Dallas, Barnhartvale and Campbell Creek, then moving to Valleyview, Juniper Ridge and the downtown core by the end of the year.

Residents can also expect to receive a 12-page brochure explaining the entire process.

When work ramps up next week, Neptune plans to install 50 meters a day.

Tom Marstaller, the city’s utility-services manager, said meters are expected to reduce water use by 20 per cent dur-ing peak periods.

The city won’t likely begin reading the meters until as late as July 2012.

A court decision in March paved the way for city council to finally award the contract for the universal water-metering program, moving the project to the next stage.

The city wanted to start installation earlier, but plans hit a snag after one of the companies with a failed bid on the project initiated a judi-cial review of the process.

Calgary-based Canadian Meter Installation asked the city to redo the tendering process,

arguing it was skewed in favour of Neptune.A judge decided the process was fair and transparent and

rejected Canadian Meter Installation’s request.Neptune will carry out the work of installing the meters

for $11.5 million.

As politicians in Ottawa get set to pass legisla-tion that will get the postal service running again, some Kamloops postal workers KTW spoke to are not pleased with the way the lockout is ending.

Elaine Bonderud, a clerk inside the Canada Post mail plant on Dalhousie Drive, said the union’s inten-tion has always been to negotiate a new contract and not be legislated back to work.

“I’m not happy about it,” she said of being forced back to work.

“I believe in democracy and the proper process, which is to negotiate a settlement.”

Bonderud added the majority of locked-out work-ers feel the same.

She maintained morale remains high among employees as the lockout stretches into its second week.

“I think we’re strong and I think we’re united,” Bonderud said.

As of KTW press deadline on Tuesday, June 21, the federal government had introduced back-to-work legislation for Canada Post employees.

The bill was expected to be debated and passed by tomorrow (June 23).

Some 54,000 members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have been locked out since June 15, following two weeks of rotating strikes by employees.

Dave Lynn is another postal employee who would prefer a settlement be reached.

However, he noted employees were legislated back to work during the last postal strike in 1997.

His biggest issue in the labour dispute is the way Canada Post and the federal government have handled employee pensions.

Lynn said the former Liberal federal government dipped into pensions to balance the budget, but never put the money back.

But, not all postal workers on the front lines will be that upset to be back on the job.

Kori McKenzie has worked for the postal service for eight years and being locked out is a new experi-ence — one she’s not enjoying.

She said her family depends on her paycheque and, since job action began, her husband has been working three jobs to make up for the shortfall.

“I want to go back to work. I think all of us do,” McKenzie said, adding however, she wants a “proper” resolution to the dispute.

Devastated, heartbro-ken and alone.

Those are the words Cheryl Reynolds uses to describe her state of mind since her one-year-old dog, Teddy, vanished from the yard outside her North Shore apart-ment building last week.

“It’s devastating,” she said.

“Since he’s been gone, I don’t eat. I can’t sleep.”

At about 7:30 p.m. last Thursday (June 16), Reynolds let Teddy, a black chihuahua who tips the scales at five pounds, out of her floor-level apartment on the corner of 12th Street and Tranquille Road.

The apartment’s yard is fully fenced and baby gates and chicken wire have been put up in spots where a five-pound dog might conceivably be able to sneak through.

At some point around 8 p.m., Reynolds poked her head out the window and called Teddy.

“He never came,” she said.

“I came running out

right away.”

There was no sign of

Teddy or any potential

dognappers.

Reynolds said she is

sure he was stolen —

and now she’s putting

up posters all over North

Kamloops.

“Everybody loves

Teddy,” she said.

“When kids were

walking by, they would

always stop and say hi

to him.”

Brianne Whiteman

walks by Reynolds’

apartment building every

day with her daughter.

She said she was sad

to hear Teddy had van-

ished — and now she’s

looking for him all over

the North Shore.

“He was bouncy,

happy, tiny,” she said.

“I go up and down

the back roads here, just

seeing if I can see him.”

With Teddy gone,

Reynolds said her health

is suffering.

“I’ve got severe anxi-

ety disorder and, as soon

as something like this

happens — “ she said,

stopping mid-sentence.

“He fulfilled every-

thing for me. It’s my

soul — it’s all I have.”

Reynolds moved

to Kamloops from the

Lower Mainland in

November. She moved

into the apartment on

Tranquille in March.

She said Teddy was

her best friend and her

only regular source of

social interaction.

“If anyone honestly

wanted to return him,

they would have by

now,” Reynolds said.

“If it was an honest

person, the next morn-

ing, they would have

called one of the shelters

or the SPCA.”

There were no injuries, but a hot air balloon’s emergency landing on the weekend made for some dramatic pictures.

KTW reader Frank Dwyer said he was enjoying a Sunday morning (June 19) coffee in his Cloverleaf Crescent home when a strange sound caught his attention.

“I heard a tremendous blowing sound,” he said.

“I didn’t know what it was.”Dwyer went outside to see a

large hot air balloon — “with

five or six people inside,” he said — floating about 50 feet above his neighbour’s house.

He said the craft rose slightly, then crossed Highway 1 and disappeared.

The balloon’s pilot ended up making an emergency land-ing on the other side of the highway.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Jeff Bell said the pilot was likely hampered by weather conditions.

“It was a pilot from out of town,” Bell said.

“The wind came up and he was unsure of where to

set it down.”Bell said there was no

damage and no injuries, but conceded the scene was not something one encounters every day.

“It looked kind of spec-tacular on the side of the road there,” Bell said.

Dwyer commended the pilot for making a safe land-ing, but speculated an equip-ment malfunction might have been to blame.

“Something was wrong,” he said.

“Some equipment must not have been working right.”

KTW reader Frank Dwyer snapped these photos of the Sundance hot air balloon that was forced to make an emergency landing next to Highway 1 on Sunday, June 19.

The company behind the proposed Ajax cop-per-gold mine south of Aberdeen in Kamloops knew going in the proj-ect would be a tough sell to local residents.

During an open house on Thursday night, (June 16), officials with Abacus Mining and Exploration, which is owned by Polish com-pany KGHM, heard first-hand the opinions of some in the community on the proposed mine.

Some 300 residents attended the consultation meeting at the Kamloops Towne Lodge, with many expressing their concerns and opposition to the project.

Some of those con-cerns include the effect the mine will have on air quality, traffic and the surrounding grasslands and lakes in the area.

The open house, which is part of the mining company’s environmental-assess-ment application, was being sponsored by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office.

Sharon Antoniak lives on Goose Lake Road, less than two kilometres from the proposed mine, and is convinced the project will have a nega-tive impact on her prop-erty and the surrounding area.

She said the mine will also cause prob-lems for the residents of Kamloops, in the form of poor air quality and vibrations and safety from increased traffic.

“In no time should they allow Kamloops to be a mining town,” Antoniak said.

The mine operation, which would be located a couple of kilometres south of the city limits in Aberdeen, stretches west to the Coquihalla Highway and is part of the old Afton Mine site.

The mine is expected to produce about 50,000 tons of copper and 100,000 ounces gold per year for the life of opera-tion, which is expected to be 23 years.

Dave Prehara also

lives within a short walk from the mine site and came to the meeting not having formed an opinion, but with some concerns.

“When a mine is going in your backyard, you can’t help but won-der how you may or may not be impacted by it,” he told KTW.

Prehara said he felt it was important to get the correct information, adding there has been a lot of rumours in the community surrounding the project.

However, not every-one who showed up to the four-hour open house was opposed to

the mine.Ken Graf has worked

in the mining industry for years and believes the project could be good for Kamloops if the mine can garner community support and meet all environmental standards.

Abacus president and CEO James Excell is confident the mine will have a positive economic impact on Kamloops, noting the project will bring millions of dollars to the community on an annual basis.

Excell hopes the open house and the consulta-tion process will help give residents a better

understanding of what the company is propos-ing.

Excell said the com-pany is trying to address the environmental con-cerns raised by some residents.

“We think it’s an operation that can be handled,” he said, not-ing the operation can put strict controls on

dust and vibration from blasting.

As for the environ-mental-assessment pro-cess, the open house was just the start of the pub-lic consultation, which is divided into three stages.

Following the initial public-comment portion of the process, which ends on July 11, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency will prepare a plan for the environmental assess-ment.

That plan will be fol-lowed by another period for public comment.

The actual assess-ment will then take place, followed by more public consultation and comments. After all the studies and consulta-tion is complete, a final report will be written and submitted, with approval required from Victoria and Ottawa.

A crucial vote in which yes means no

Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

Barring any slowdowns from the postal dispute, the HST mail-in referendum is underway, with packages en route.

The packages include a bal-lot, instructions and three enve-lopes — and for those of you who generally toss out instruc-tion manuals — don’t.

In typical government fash-ion, the key thing to remember for the HST referendum is that

yes means no and no means yes.

Feel confused? You are not alone.

The wording of the ballot reads: “Are you in favour of extinguishing the HST (harmo-nized sales tax) and reinstating the PST (provincial sales tax) in conjunction with the GST (goods and services tax)? (Yes/No).”

Remember the wise words of high school teachers every-where and read the question thoroughly before marking your answer.

Voting yes means you are in favour of scrapping the HST.

Voting no means you’d like to keep it around.

The cynic in us wonders if Christy Clark’s government is counting on voter confusion as a way of boosting support for the tax at the ballot box.

This is much like how the Liberals were planning an “edu-cation” campaign on the HST, which has since turned into an obviously partisan attempt to sway voter opinion in favour of the new tax.

You might believe the Liberals’ change to a 10 per cent HST is the best choice.

You might not.How you decide to vote is up

to you.But, be sure you are marking

your ballot with your true inten-tion, not out of confusion.

If rioters are truly remorseful, why the need for lawyers?T

ODAY MARKS ONE week since hundreds of idiots went on a rampage in downtown Vancouver fol-

lowing the Canucks’ Game 7 loss to Boston in the Stanley Cup final.

Much ink has been spilled on the riot and its aftermath, most notably the role social media (Facebook and Twitter in particular) has played in identifying the culprits.

But, within the past seven days, commentary has gone from attack-ing what these cretins did to criticiz-ing some of those who are outing the guilty.

Nathan Kotylak is a 17-year-old elite water-polo player caught on cam-era trying to light a police car on fire.

His father is a surgeon and his mother is a registered nurse, so obvi-ously Kotylak’s anarchistic actions are a direct result of his deeply unprivi-leged upbringing in the inner city that is Maple Ridge.

Kotylak turned himself in to police. His father has hired a lawyer who has already started the talk-show circuit in an obvious bid to reshape the pathetic image of his client.

Kotylak has apologized and allowed his name to be used in the media (under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act, those under 18 are minors and cannot be named in criminal matters).

Kotylak is the first of many more to come — rioters who turn themselves in, offer an apology and pledge to take their punishment.

The problem is they have no choice but to do all of the above in this age of social media and TV news crews and newspaper cameras documenting every minute of their disgraceful actions.

Would these rioters be walking into police stations while uttering mea cul-

pas if their faces had not been plastered all over the Internet?

There is only one way to find out.If Kotylak and others truly are

remorseful, there would be no need to hire lawyers, whose sole job will be to make money while getting the best deal for their clients.

If Kotylak and others are truly sorry for what they have done, they will plead guilty to charges they are fac-ing; they will apologize in person and in public to the owners of the vehicle/business they destroyed; they will apol-ogize in person and in public to those brave enough to try to stop the carnage, only to be pummelled by rioters; they will pay all costs required to replace and repair said vehicle/business; and they will accept without question what-ever sentence is handed down in court.

A truly remorseful person would do all of the above.

My bet is not one rioter arrested and charged will do so.

My bet is all will hire lawyers and all will try their best to get the most lenient sentence possible, hoping time will help in sending their actions fad-ing into the background of public dis-course.

Quick question: Whatever hap-pened to those black-clad idiots who

broke business windows in downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games?

Don’t know? Me neither.There will be much talk by lawyers

of rioters arguing evidential minutiae.Yet, if we have video footage of

three young men flipping a vehicle, high-fiving after the act, then posing for photos in front of the overturned and now burning wreck, and we have suc-cessfully identified the three vandals, can anybody explain why there should be a court process of any kind?

If we have video of three identified goons intentionally destroying a car in the midst of a riot, should that not result in a guilty verdict and sentence immediately?

Why the need for lawyers? Why the need to set court dates ad nauseam into the next year or two?

Sending any of these rioters to jail would be less effective than forcing them to pay all damages and stand in the public spotlight as they apologize to their victims and to the city, and as they carry out whatever community-service demands imposed upon them by court.

On another note, the owners of the countless vehicles overturned and set ablaze will no doubt have their rides replaced via ICBC and private insur-ance companies.

Owners of businesses damaged and ransacked may have insurance protec-tion.

Would it not make sense for ICBC and these private insurance companies to sue those responsible?

Here’s hoping the court process fac-ing Kotylak and countless others will be followed by a very painful financial civil suit.

A selection of comments on

KTW stories, culled online

Re: Mayday! Mayday! Construction tumbles:

“These sharp declines in building permits have a massive message to send — and people who don’t have their finances in order may want to pay attention.

“I think no one has bothered to comment because it’s pretty much common knowledge people are living beyond their means.”

— posted byJust_Reading_By

“The economy is still fragile and has a very real potential to get a lot worse.

“People have notori-ously short attention spans. The recession is not over, but it seems like it’s back to business as usual for companies that were verging on bankruptcy a couple of years ago

“Case in point — the auto industry.

“Some companies had to get bailed out by taxpayers, so they cut back on their product lines. Now, they’re back to making millions of new vehicles per year that people can’t afford to buy. It doesn’t make sense.

“Remember the last time crude oil spiked? The public started demanding smaller, more efficient vehicles and that lasted right up until the ‘crisis’ was over. Then they wanted their pickups and SUVs back.”

— posted byCZ_858

Editor:This is a note to

congratulate the hon-est and upstanding actions of the indi-vidual in the white Ford Ranger or Mazda who rammed my grey Nissan pickup truck (the one with the red canoe on top) on Wednesday, June 15, at about 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Valleyview A&W res-taurant.

What a brilliant move it was for them to pull back into their parking stall and wait a few minutes to see if anyone came rush-ing out to find out what happened.

When no one did, they drove away unnoticed — almost.

I would like to assure this person the $750 deductible on a hit-and-run victim will not destroy my faith in disturbed humanity like them.

Hit-and-run victims are victimized again by ICBC in that, when a claim is made, vic-tims are the only one to pay the deductible.

Having said all that, it is pos-sible I might meet the offender when police review the foot-age from the security camera on the east side of the building.

Again, it’s impor-tant people show integrity and moral fortitude in times of stress.

Congratulations.

A.C. BrumellKamloops

Editor:I hope that significance of the

Vancouver riot over the loss of the Stanley Cup to an American-based hockey team is not lost on most Kamloopsians.

This is not a story of athletic achievement or failure, but of politics.

TSN reports 80 per cent of Canadians watched Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final and thou-sands were inspired to destroy property of no association to the Canucks. In contrast, 61.4 per cent of Canadians voted in the May federal election.

The fault here lies with our elite.

How is it that Canadians find

a 60-minute hockey game more relevant to their lives than the governance of their reputation and finances.

Charles Landry writes: “Crime will not be reduced by tinkering with sentencing policy, but through public engagement.”

This parable is clear.The pine-bark beetle is aided

in the destruction of our forestry industry by a long succession of mild winters. However, the ques-tion on minds of Canadians is not climate change.

Since 1989, various parti-san parliaments have reduced government subsidies to medical schools drastically and Canadians fail to understand why

the health-care system is failing.Forty per cent of Canadians

with families have not seen a raise in income in 30 years.

Statistics Canada reports that 60 per cent of guests at homeless shelters have full-time employ-ment.

Municipal governments sub-sidize expanded infrastructure when the cash flow does not maintain the current infrastruc-ture, and property taxes rise.

Yet hockey is more relevant to Canadians than who we elect to represent and preserve our repu-tation, dignity, honour, stability, employment and finances.

How not to act after a traffi c mishap

Editor:Re: The June 15 let-

ters on the proposed Ajax mine, penned by John Schleiermacher (‘Mining controversy’) and Mary Hill (‘It’s time to stop Ajax proposal before it begins’):

Both letter writers have very uninformed opinions of mining in Kamloops.

What they don’t real-ize is blasting already takes place in and around Kamloops.

The appropriate government bodies are aware, but the townsfolk of Kamloops have no idea this has been occur-ring for years.

Have we noticed any adverse affect? No.

Would we have the Coquihalla Highway and the ability to drive to the Coast if this constant blasting did not take place? As for comments regarding the tailings dam and it seeping into our water, again, these are statements that are wrong.

This will not happen. Nor will the fish die,

nor will the local forests perish.

There are people employed in Kamloops to ensure this does not happen. Do we want all these people to join the queue at the Kamloops Food Bank if mining were to cease?

Kamloops needs mining to survive as the local mill, prison and lot-tery headquarters are not enough to keep the city going.

The new Abacus mine will create more jobs than Highland Valley.

There are clauses

in the creation of these mines and they are required to employ a large number of local people.

Imagine the infra-structure required from local Kamloops business-es to set up this mine.

How many business do we see closing on a weekly basis?

Imagine a large proj-ect helping Kamloops residents, rather than blaming a proposal for declining property values.

Our economy will pick up with new mines opening.

The proponents are not asking to create a mine on Victoria Street. They are asking to create a mine on the outskirts of town, which is where the pulp mill and other mines are located.

Take away the mines and watch what happens to the Kamloops econo-my and housing prices.

I am not employed in the mining industry, but I understand what happens to a town when mines are forced out due to total arrogance.

A woman was treated for minor injuries after four masked men opened fire on her North Kamloops home early Tuesday morning (June 21) after attempting to break in, police say.

Kamloops Mounties were called to a home on Sitka Place at about 5:30 a.m.

Const. Bernie Ward said four men, wearing dark hoodies and ban-danas over their faces, tried to enter the home through the front door.

When they were unsuccessful, they fled — but not before firing four shots at the home.

Ward said a female resident was treated at the scene by paramedics for minor injuries.

The suspects were seen leaving the area in a vehicle, but no descrip-tion was provided to police.

Investigators are now trying to determine why the would-be robbers chose the Sitka Place home.

Elderly woman sleeps through burglary

An elderly Kamloops woman was “uninjured but upset” after crooks burgled her home while she slept overnight on Monday, June 20, police say.

Learned said the 80-year-old woman went to bed at about 11 p.m. on Sunday night.

“When she woke up around 4:15 a.m. . . . she noticed the hall light was on outside her bedroom,” he said.

“She got up and went downstairs and further discovered a kitchen light was on and her cupboards had been opened and searched.”

The woman called police, who searched the area around the home, but found no suspects.

Learned said inves-tigators were able to determine the burglars had entered the home by cutting out a screen in an open window.

“The initial check for missing property found that the suspects had stolen cigarettes, some liquor bottles and a small digital camera,” he said.

“Investigators believe the suspects left the home via the front

door, which was found unlocked and ajar.”

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The official arrival of summer may be a welcome sight for sun worshippers, but it has city officials keeping a nervous eye on flood-ing along the North and South Thompson rivers.

Although river levels have dropped slightly during the last few days, the blast of warm weather predicted to stay until Friday is also expected to send river levels rising.

It’s that prediction that has prompted the city to keep public boat launches closed and warnings in place to stay away from the river.

“Just to be on the safe side and make sure we don’t have people taking any unneces-sary risks,” said Tom Marstaller, the city’s utilities-service man-ager.

He noted it could be a couple of days before the effect of the warming on the river is known.

The boat launch was officially closed on June 17.

The city is monitor-ing the flood situation on a daily basis but, so far, no homes are in imminent danger of flooding.

For some perspec-tive, Marstaller noted the river has reached its

sixth-highest level in the last 15 years.

According to the River Forecast Centre, the cool April and May led to a delay in the onset of snow melt by up to four weeks.

As a result, there remains a significant amount of water left to drain into the riv-ers — and the weather over the next couple of weeks will determine how fast the water will come.

Based on informa-tion provided from Environment Canada, the forecast centre and the water-stewardship branch, no significant change in the river level is expected through the weekend.

Residents who need sandbags can pick them up free of charge at the public-works centre, 955 Concordia Way, Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and any time at the follow-

ing fire stations: 1205 Summit Dr.; 2-1578 Tranquille Rd.; 3-1625 Valleyview Dr.; 4- 615 Porterfield Rd.; Heffley Creek; and 5300 Dallas Dr.

The city posts on its website (kamloops.ca/riverlevels) river levels measured at Overlanders Bridge.

For more informa-tion, residents can also go online to the forecast centre website at bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca.

River levels expected to rise againWarm weather is expected in coming days and with it comes the likelihood water levels in the North and South Thompson rivers will continue to rise, prompting the city to keep an eye out for flooding. Marty Hastings/KTW

Marg Brown isn’t surprised there’s anoth-er petition circulating about parking at Royal Inland Hospital.

In fact, the hospital administrator said, she wishes sometimes she had bought a house nearer to her place of employment because she also runs into occa-sions when it’s impos-sible to find a spot.

It’s why parking remains a priority in the institution’s master site plan process, a document now being reviewed by the senior executive team and board of the Interior Health Authority (IHA) before being taken to the city.

Brown noted parking is a longstanding issue at RIH.

“So, I think it’s neat that someone has taken the initiative to have this petition about it.”

She was referring to a decision by Rose Bourdin to start gather-ing signatures at the recent Seniors Expo at Northills Shopping Centre, an exercise that saw her collect 399 names in a five-hour period.

“Oh, and the hor-ror stories we heard,” Bourdin said of the

comments she received

from people waiting

to sign her document,

ranging from someone

who didn’t stop to pay

for metered parking at the emergency depart-ment — “He just ran in and, when he finally got out, had a $47 fine” — to a senior who guessed she’d need four hours of parking, paid her $6 and walked into the hospital, only to learn her appoint-ment for tests had been rescheduled.

“And, that’s money she can’t get back,” Bourdin said.

The parking-pay-ment issue is one that particularly angers her, especially at the ER, a place she was at seven times in a two-month period when her hus-band was sick.

“You’re stressed, you just want to get in there and they expect you to stop and pay and not know how long

you’ll be?” she said. “It’s inhumane. Why

can’t they go back to the way it was when you paid when you left and you just paid for the time you were there?”

She’s not happy about the lack of park-ing in the parkade, either, another issue mentioned to her by many of the seniors who signed her petition.

One area Bourdin mentioned is the treed area at the front of the hospital, a site once eyed for parking.

That plan was aban-doned after a lengthy public campaign to save an ancient tree that would have to be

removed for a parkade.Brown is not sure

there would be the same groundswell of support for the trees now as there was a decade ago.

One of the reasons, she said, is hospital use has increased dramati-cally in the past decade, making the parking problem an even greater issue that has to be addressed.

“It’s very frustrat-ing,” Brown said.

“I know how frus-trating it is.”

Bourdin is still col-lecting signatures and plans to ask city coun-cil for its support in her quest before she meets with IHA officials.

Petitioning for parking solutions at Royal Inland

Mary Lazar signs her name on a petition started by Irene Jones (middle) and Rose Bourdin (right). The petition is to support the removal of metered parking at Royal Inland Hospital’s emergency department and the improvement of parking in general. Dave Eagles/KTW

Vehicle break-ins on the rise in KamloopsHas a new group of

crooks might have moved into the Tournament Capital? Has a talented car thief been released from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre?

Whatever the case, Kamloops Mounties have noticed a sharp spike in the number of vehicle break-ins on local streets in recent weeks.

“It’s become quite evident to investigators and folks doing the crime

stats we’re having a bit of a push,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned.

“Over the last little while, we’ve noticed an increase in thefts from vehicles in the area. Usually that means there’s someone . . . who is trying to make their livelihood by stealing property from vehicles.

“It could be people coming in from out of town, it could be

people who were recently released.”

Learned said police noted a half-dozen indi-vidual vehicle break-ins in a single shift over the weekend — two in Batchelor Heights, one downtown, one on the North Shore, one on Highway 5A and one in Valleyview.

“What we do know is a lot of these people are mobile,” he said.

“And, one of the easi-

est ways to get around town is on a bicycle.”

Mounties caught two suspected vehicle bur-glars over the weekend — both of whom were riding bikes.

A 22-year-old man was arrested after a short pursuit following a vehi-cle break-in on Brandon Avenue overnight on Friday, June 17. Police say he was found to be in possession of goods sto-len in two separate thefts.

A 52-year-old man was also arrested on a bike in Valleyview, with a back-pack containing 13 iPods. He has yet to be charged, but Learned said it’s likely the mp3 players were sto-len.

“We can only say so many times to remove all property from your vehicle, including small change,” he said.

“If you keep the inside of your car as clean as pos-sible, it minimizes the risk.”

Spring was fussier than a cheap umbrella, which is what Kamloops residents were forced to use dur-ing in the second-soggiest such season on record.

The weather in May struggled to resemble the hot and dry climate for which Kamloops is known as the mercury was barely able to reach normal average temperatures each day.

The beginning of the month piqued the interest of sun enthusiasts but, by mid-month, they were disappointed — and a bit drenched.

Daily temperatures in May were below normal. Average daily high was 19.6 C, compared to the

normal average daily high of 21.3 C. Average daily low was 7 C, compared to the normal average daily low of 7.5 C. Mean temperature was 13.3 C, below the normal May mean of 14.4 C.

A record cold and wet day was set on May 26, with a temperature of 11.6 C paired with steady rain.

The warmest day of the month was 26.1 C on May 20. The coldest day dropped to 0.5 C over-night on May 1.

Precipitation skyrocketed past the normal of 24.4 millimetres to 53.6 millimetres — 219 per cent of the normal precipitation for the month and soggy enough to become the third-wettest May on record.

The most rainfall landed on May 26, when 14 millimetres of the liquid sunshine fell.

The wet trend has been seen in other areas of the province, with Williams Lake and Quesnel both breaking their May rainfall records.

Yesterday (June 21) was the first day of sum-mer, which sun worshippers hope will herald an end to the wet spring session.

Total precipitation for March, April and May was 208 per cent of the normal 45.7 millimetres, with a total tally of 95.2 millimetres.

This year’s rainy season ranked second for most precipitation in the second season of the year, with the wettest spring being in 1983, when 96.5 mil-limetres of precipitation was recorded.

The mean temperature this spring was typical, at 8.8 C, compared to the normal 8.9 C.

The upside to all that rain? Kamloops is looking a lot greener this month.

A suspected street race late Monday night (June 20) led to a hit-and-run — and now police are hoping it will lead to criminal charges.

Kamloops Mounties received a call at 11:30 p.m. about a black Nissan and another car racing on Ninth Avenue near Fraser Street.

A few hours later, at about 3 a.m., police received a second report of street racing, this time in the area of McMurdo Drive and Munro Street.

Mounties arrived at the scene and saw a red 1992 Honda Accord travelling at a high rate of speed, then crashing into a parked car, caus-ing limited damage.

The driver and a pas-senger fled on foot.

A police-dog unit was unable to pick up a scent and the investigation is ongoing.

Car, lung totalledAlcohol is behind a

single-vehicle accident early Sunday morning (June 19) in a down-town alley, according to police.

At about 2 a.m., an officer patrolling down-town Kamloops noticed a Ford Probe driving fast down a back alley near Sixth Avenue and Seymour Street.

The driver lost con-trol of the vehicle and hit a ground-level garage door.

The car was totalled and the driver suffered a collapsed lung. His passenger also suffered

what is believed to be a concussion.

A blood demand was made to determine whether the driver was drunk. The investigation is ongoing.

More thieveryA 22-year-old man

who is well-known to police was arrested over the weekend after climb-ing over a fence and into a secure compound at a North Kamloops

business.Just after 11 p.m. on

Saturday (June 18), a witness spotted some-one climbing the fence outside General Grants Bottle Depot on Fortune Drive.

Mounties set up a perimeter and entered the compound, where the man was found and arrested.

Police are recom-mending charges of break and enter with

intent to commit an indictable offence.

The man’s name has not been released.

■ Thieves also broke into a Kamloops busi-ness over the weekend, but left almost empty-handed.

A pair of crooks forced their way into a paper-recycling business in the 1700-block of Kelly Douglas Road and made off with 12 bags of empty bottles and cans.

Tiny dancers ready to take the stage

By Jessica WallaceSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake.

Keep going, look to your classmates for guid-ance and smile.

Not bad advice from seven- and eight-year-old dancers Jaydyn Overwater, Rowan Haselman, Ella Woehle, Alyssa Ollek, Shealyn Andres and Sara Worsfold.

It’s what they have learned in their few years of dance and what they will remember in their dance school’s year-end show on June 26.

Dressed in fluffy, white costumes, they transform into clouds, rehearsing a fantasy.

The girls like dress-ing up from head to toe. They like their makeup and their ballet slippers and everything between.

They say it takes two or three minutes to get ready.

No, it’s about a half-hour, says their teacher, Gay Rudichuk.

They don’t get ner-vous because the dance isn’t something thrown together. It has taken time to develop.

The choreography began around Christmas, followed by months of practising the routine.

As they glide around the studio, it is evident the practice is paying off.

Their teacher is nearby, supporting them

as she encourages smiles and perfect form from her students.

The dance is coming together.

For the teacher — calling the performance one of the most beauti-ful she has seen from that age group in her 30 years of teaching.

For the girls — they chose to dance because they didn’t want to play hockey and because they idolize dancers from the television show Dancing With the Stars.

The girls follow each other in unison to the soft melody playing in the background. The tune is dramatic, yet light. The girls occasion-ally incorporate pillowy boards into the routine and sway as clouds.

All the work amounts to only a small part of the Rainbow School of Dance’s year-end show.

The annual show brings together the entire school, with about 40 dances in several styles and age groups, and includes singing, dia-logue and acting.

This year’s show is called A Magical World and was written by Rainbow owner Heather Clark. The story fol-lows a young girl who becomes lost in the for-est and finds a magical world.

The production takes place on Sunday, June 26 at 2 p.m. at Sagebrush Theatre.

The B.C. Lions’ offensive linemen look happy in this picture, but they might not be so cheery if they were deprived of food. The hogs dined at various establishments during training camp — which wrapped up on Tuesday, June 21, at Hillside Stadium — but Minos Restaurant was their favourite spot to eat. The brutish men are in action tonight against the Calgary Stampeders at Empire Field in Vancouver. Marty Hastings/KTW

B.C. Lions’ O-Line fi nds fellowship in foodBy Marty Hastings

STAFF [email protected]

MINOS

Restaurant

owner

George

Georgiou was caught

off-guard when a group

of 300-pound bruis-

ers piled through the

door of his venerable

Tranquille Road estab-

lishment.

“Four big guys walk

inside . . . I have to

stop, like that,” said

Georgiou, recounting

what happened at the

Greek eatery in May.

“I got no clue they

were big B.C. Lions.

They order some food

and, all of a sudden,

they start clapping.

“I go. I sat with

them. I got no clue.

They say, ‘We highly

recommend you for healthy Mediterranean organic food.’

“I said, ‘Thank-you. That’s how I’m here for 30 years!”

Among the hungry Lions at Minos that night was Simon Fraser University graduate Angus Reid, an 11-year Canadian Football League veteran.

Anyone who has fol-lowed the Lions’ centre on Twitter throughout the off-season and into training camp will know annihilating food is nothing new to the Leos’ hogs.

“It’s quite a sight for the other patrons at their establishment to see three, four or five 300-pounders walk in there and demol-ish everything on their menu,” Reid said.

“We work hard and we play hard. It’s part of the life and the fun of being a professional athlete.”

Reid promised Georgiou he would return to Minos with more of his linemen pals during training camp, which wrapped up on Tuesday, June 21, at Hilliside Stadium — and, on June 11, that’s exactly what Reid did.

This time, however, Georgiou was prepared.

“There was 10. I prepare food for 20,” said Georgiou, whose humour goes down just as well as his hummus.

“They love chicken souvlakis, jumbo prawn souvlakis, Greek salad, rice, potatoes, filet mignon souvlakis, beef souvlakis and roast lamb.

“They said, ‘George, stop. No more food, OK?”

Reid wasted no time expressing how he felt about his Minos experi-ence that night.

“The BEST Greek food I have EVER had!! With George the owner,” a bursting-full Reid posted on Twitter minutes after the meal.

It was not the first time in recent history that aggressive eat-ing was on the Lions’ menu.

In March, Reid and fellow linemen Justin Sorensen, Andrew Jones, Dean Valli, Jesse Newman and Jon Hameister-Ries each attempted to eat three Mikeburger meals at Mr. Mike’s Steakhouse and Bar in Langley.

The madness contin-

ued in May when the O-line spent Cinco de Mayo at Taco Del Mar in Coquitlam, where they tried to polish off five-pound burritos.

Charities often ben-efit from the Lions’ eat-ing sprees. For exam-ple, 10 per cent of Taco Del Mar’s sales for the first week in May were donated to the Children of the Street Society.

“It’s good for chari-ties and it helps get the Lions’ name out in the community,” Reid told KTW.

The Lions are always welcome back at Minos, said Georgiou, noting he would love to serve the Vancouver Canucks, but they don’t present the same challenge for him in the kitchen.

“It’s an honour

to have [the Lions],”

Georgiou said.

“They’re beautiful

people. They talk to

everybody. They give

hugs to the kids.

“They give me a

nice ball, everybody

signed it, ‘To George,

the best Greek food

ever.’

“It’s beautiful.”

For a guy who read-

ily admits to “demol-

ishing” food, Reid is

pretty confident in the

offensive line’s condi-

tioning heading into the

regular season.

“I can guarantee

you, and these guys

say it to me every day,

they’re in better shape

than they’ve ever been in their lives,” said

Reid, who wears No. 64.

It might sound like false bravado, but the six-foot-1, 305-pound centre has every reason to believe quarterback Travis Lulay won’t be spending too much time on the seat of his pants.

“I’ve always been a hard worker but, this year, I got the guys together for almost the entire off-season — the whole O-line that lives in town — and we trained together every day.”

Reid, Hameister-Ries, Jones, Newman and Sorenson spent a great deal of time at Gold’s Gym in Richmond, where they worked hard in prepara-tion for training camp.

This week, Bill Bilton, Jr., head golf instructor at The Dunes, teaches readers how to position the ball properly in their

stance. In this space next Wednesday, he’ll talk about the importance of setting up

parallel to the intended target line.

652 Dunes Dr.

By Bill Bilton, Jr.CPGA GOLF [email protected]

Ball position varies depending on what club you pull from the bag.

Traditionally, the ball should align at a right angle with your target line and one inch inside your left heel.

As you move from driver to

sand wedge, the ball position will

get progressively further back in

your stance, but not more than four inches inside your left heel.

At no point should your hands set up behind the ball.

Stance width also varies depending on the club you are hitting.

Driver stance is the widest and can is measured by the outside of the shoulders fitting between the instep of the feet.

Middle irons are measured by the outside of the shoul-ders aligning with the middle of the feet, and the short irons measured by the outside of the shoulders aligning with the out step of the feet.

All that said, a million-dollar set up is only as good as a golf-

er’s aim. Without good

alignment, a player is merely hoping to hit the target.

I like my stu-dents to expect to hit good shots — and, with dead aim, a sound set-

up and a sequential swing a great

result is achievable.

Taking dead aim for every

shot starts with you standing

about eight feet behind your ball

so your intended target and ball

are in a straight line from your

view.

Next, pick a spot three to five

feet in front of your ball that

you can keep your eye on —

like a piece of grass, a divot or

a broken tee — that is on your

intended target line.

When you walk up to your ball, you can now set the face of the club behind the ball that lines up with this intermediate target — which means you will also be aligned with your final target.

In next week’s lesson, we’ll discuss the importance of setting up parallel to the intended target line.

“They gave us a pri-

vate room because, let’s

be honest, most public

gyms don’t like 300-

pound guys bending

bars, throwing weights,

using chalk, yelling and

screaming and cranking

music,” Reid said.

“At 8 a.m. every day,

we met and we got after

it.”

The group also spent

time working on posi-

tional play and fitness

at the B.C Lions’ train-

ing facility in Surrey.

“We’ve spent four

months together as a

unit,” Reid said.

“When things get

tough out there, you

know you can rely on

each other because

you’ve already been doing it for months on end.

“A lot of guys get prepared on their own and they’re asked to come together and blend in a week at camp, and that’s impos-sible to do.”

Lions head coach and GM Wally Buono has taken notice of the extra work put in by the big boys up front.

“A lot of the guys, like Angus said, have been in town pretty much the whole off-sea-son, so they’ve worked out together, they’ve socialized together and had some fun together,” said Buono, who is entering his ninth sea-son with the Lions.

“The O-line is such a close-knit group of guys that I think it cre-ates a good chemistry among them.”

Here is proof in the form of Angus Reid

tweets that restaurants should be looking

to capitalize on the B.C. Lions’ visits to

Kamloops.

— Great brecky at #Cora’s with @Rikester13 and @TravisLulay. Now off to get a workout in and some pool work

IT WAS ALWAYS AN EXCITING

experience as a kid when your parents

or grandparents would take you to

McDonald’s for a treat.

You remember the golden arches, splash-

es of bright yellow and red and the plastic

tables and benches where you gobbled

down your first Happy Meal.

But, you’ve grown up — and the largest

restaurant chain in the world is trying to do

the same.

Kamloops residents who frequent

McDonald’s have probably already started

to notice a change in their favourite restau-

rant.

It looks less like a giant toy and more like a coffee shop or lounge.

That’s because the restaurant chain is spending $1 billion in North America to update its looks.

Several locations in the Tournament Capital are following suit.

Alan Gozda, the franchisee for all six McDonald’s outlets in Kamloops, explained the makeover is an effort to stay relevant with the changing times.

“McDonald’s today is different,” he told KTW.

“People’s taste and ideas of what’s cur-rent, relevant and trendy is a lot different today.”

Some of the changes people will notice when they walk through the doors is a more contemporary lobby environment, a self-

serve beverage area and, outside, dual order points in drive-thru lanes.

Gozda noted the changes will not only speed up wait times at the window, but shorten idle times.

But, the biggest difference will be the expansion of the chain into the coffee busi-ness through McCafes.

Gozda said McCafes is a brand that offers espresso-based coffees.

Industry watchers have described McCafes as having a Starbucks-like feel to them.

Gozda, who couldn’t put a dollar fig-ure the amount spent in Kamloops on the renovations, suggested when visitors from Europe and Australia — conti-nents that have had McCafes for years — see the cafe signs, they will migrate

straight toward them.

He said McCafes are popular around the

world and the chain is hoping for the same

success in Canada.

Three of the six locations in Kamloops

— North Kamloops, Aberdeen and

Valleyview — have had their transforma-

tions completed, while the Sahali location

will be finished in a couple weeks.

The downtown restaurant will undergo

its makeover later this summer.

That will leave the Wal-Mart location to

be transformed.

The changes may already be paying off

as Gozda noted many of his customers like

the new-look McDonald’s.

“It makes it easier moving forward when

people are saying good things,” he said.

McDonald’s billion-dollar makeover

Gozda owns all six McDonald’s outlets in Kamloops, all of which are undergoing renovations as part of the chain’s billion-dollar makeover in North America. Dave Eagles/KTW

Revenue from the city’s accommodation tax increased 16.2 per cent in the first three months of the year from the same period in 2010.

March numbers are the highest seen for that month since the 2005 introduction of the tax.

The 2011 first-quar-ter results are keeping pace with 2010 overall numbers that saw an increase of 15.6 per cent over 2009 tax rev-enues.

The increase is due in part to an ongoing economic recovery, sport tourism, a strong meetings market and tactical marketing by Tourism Kamloops to its target markets, the agency said in a press release.

“These numbers

are strong and exceed forecasts set for growth in 2011,” said Tourism Kamloops CEO Lee Morris.

“With major sport-ing and other special events being hosted in Kamloops and market-ing efforts targeting the Metro Vancouver area, there is consider-able optimism that the growth will continue throughout the year.”

Chamber electionBrant Hasanen and

Deb McLeod have been re-elected to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce Board at its annual general meeting

held recently in Prince George.

Hasanen is a mem-ber of the local board while McClelland is its executive director.

LOCAL NEWS

After travelling through Kamloops — and collecting a banner — representatives from KAIROS are in Ottawa to raise awareness about the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The group, travelling by train to Ottawa to present ban-ners, stopped in Kamloops on June 15 to meet with First Nations and church represen-tatives.

Charlotte Manuel of

Tk’emlups Indian Band offered a prayer for a safe journey while Justin Young of the Ojibway First Nation drummed and sang.

Others taking part included Chief Judy Wilson of the Neskonlith Indian band, rev-erends Teri Meyer and Bruce Comrie from the Kamloops United Church, Judy Bergman, Lynda Fisher, Julie Graham and elders Bert Deneault and Minnie Kenoras of the Skatsin Neskonlith Indian band.

KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives is a church-based social-justice organization focusing on human rights and sustain-ability.

KAIROS staff travelling across the country collected banners at each stop that were used to create a giant banner.

It was paraded through Ottawa on June 20, the day before National Aboriginal Day.

AUTOK A M L O O P S THIS WEEK

IT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME COMING, BUT THE CHEVROLET CAMARO CONVERTIBLE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED AND JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER.

With wilder styling than its neo-retro pony car compet-itors (Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang), getting the soft top to blend in with the styling is not as easy as you might think, especially when the objective was to mirror the roof lines of the coupe.

What Chevrolet engineers did was borrow some of the features from the Corvette, including the same centre latching, using the same supplier.

The result is a Z-folding structure that goes up and down in 20 seconds.

It is weather-tight with lots of acoustic foam to help keep out noise.

The 2011 Camaro Convertible is offered as a V6 and a V8, each of which has two trim levels.

Pricing starts at $33,995 for the base 1LT V6, up to $47,835 for the fully loaded 2SS V8 (as tested).

While the SS is available with a 6.2-litre overhead-valve V8, power is slightly different depending on transmissions.

With the standard six-speed manual there is 426-horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.

With the optional six-speed automatic (as tested), it produc-

es 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.The base 3.6-litre V6 in the LT produces 312 horse-

power and 278 pound-feet of torque with either the manu-al or optional automatic.

Just to add a little confusion, the V8 with manual is termed the LS3 engine, while the V8 with the automatic is the L99, which is derived from the LS3.

The difference is the latter features GM’s active fuel-management system. It saves fuel by shutting down half the engine’s cylinders during certain light-load driving conditions, like highway cruising.

Costing an extra $1,710, the L99 option’s automatic has “tapshift” sequential manual-shift mode, including paddles on the steering wheel.

Fuel consumption for the manual is rated at 13.2/8.2/11.0L/100 km city/highway/combined and for the automatic, 13.3/8.0/19.9L/100 km city/highway/com-bined.

One of the goals of the engineers was to produce a droptop that felt as solid on the road as the coupe.

With a track as wide as that of the Camaro, it could not have been easy.

One noticeable difference is a broad and thick stress bar connecting the two front shock towers.

There are also braces for the transmission on prop shaft tunnel and the V-shaped under body braces fore and aft.

AUTOMARKET EXPERIENCE LIFEACROSS ALL TERRAIN

Cargo space at a premiumAdditional safety

structural reinforce-ments are designed to improve noise and vibration characteristics while also contribut-ing to the elimination of cowl/steering wheel shake.

They include a hydroformed tube in the A-pillars, an inner reinforcement bracket in the windshield header, a reinforced front-hinge pillar and reinforcements inside the rockers.

On the SS, I noticed there was no steering-wheel shake and the expansive hood was as flat as wine on a plate.

With the LT V6, I briefly sampled there was minor cowl shake, but only at speed on frost-heaved secondary roads.

The result is a solid-feeling car which GM says has better chassis rigidity than a BMW 3 Series.

With a weight distribution of 52/48 front/rear, handling is surprising good for a car tipping the scales at 1,891 kilograms (4,168 lb).

Part of this is due to a sharp turning circle of 11.5 metres (37.7 feet), plus a very stout suspension system fore and aft, especially the 4.5-link independent rear.

The driving route was up and through Ontario cottage country,

with few other cars on the road and brilliant sun in the sky.

I know I’m supposed to be politically green these days, but that big V8 exhaust note at full song was music to my ears.

It was a day meant for cruising, which is just perfect in a car like the SS Convertible.

But, it is fast, too. I didn’t try it, but

GM quotes a zero to 100 m.p.h. acceleration time of 4.9 seconds for the LS3 and 5.0 sec-onds for the L99.

Despite the weight gain, the V8 convertible has a stopping distance equal to the coupe of 100 to zero m.p.h. in 36.2 metres (128 feet), thanks to the four-piston fixed Brembo aluminum front and rear callipers.

At normal highway speeds, you never have to lift or brake on a

bend in the road — and that goes for most curves, as the balance of the car makes the most of the nearly equal front- and rear-weight distribution.

Like the coupe, the sills on the convert-ible are high, so you sit down inside the car rather like being in a fighter-plane cockpit.

Gauges and controls are intuitive, with four secondary gauges mount-ed under the centre stack in a signature-design tip of the hat to the early Camaros.

Because the combined OnStar/XM/AM-FM radio antenna is mounted on the roof of coupe models, it had to be relo-cated on the convertible.

On RS-equipped LT models and SS models, which include a rear spoiler, a small shark fin OnStar/XM antenna is mounted on the deck lid, while the AM/FM radio antenna is hidden inside the rear spoiler.

With the top up, vis-ibility is at a premium, especially to the rear. A backup proximity sonar is fitted which helps but even with the top down, watch out when revers-ing.

My co-driver almost took out the rear bum-per backing up at GM’s Oshawa headquarters when he did not see a long-slung decorative planter.

Trunk space is expect-edly limited due to the need for somewhere to

store the top and folding mechanism.

With the top up, there is 290 litres (10.25 cubic feet) of cargo space and 220 litres (7.85 cubic feet) with it down.

But, who cares?If you need to stow

golf bags, throw them in the back seat and get out and enjoy the summer we Canadians so sorely crave.

And, when you think about it, there aren’t too many ways you can enjoy it more than in a canary yellow Camaro SS drop-top.

sored by Kamloops Ford Lincoln and the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour.

Players will be taught by Canadian PGA professionals and will receive a tee gift and refresh-ments.

SCHOOL’S OUT

Free golf clinic for kids

The Running Room and Kamloops fire-fighters have teamed up to host a Canada Day-themed fun run/walk and picnic to help send Kamloops kids to camp.

The School’s Out For Summer run/walk on June 29 will help send kids to camp with the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops and the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA.

The run/walk is part of a long-standing Running Room tradi-tion.

When a new store is opened, the company hosts an event that will raise awareness and funds for a charity or cause of special mean-ing and interest to the community it will serve in the coming years.

“As Canada Day approaches, we believe it is fitting to pay tribute to a group that are particularly impor-tant to Canadians in

this part of our great nation — the brave men and women of the Kamloops Fire Rescue who put their lives on the line to protect their fellow citizens,” said Running Room founder John Stanton.

“In keeping with their spirit of volun-teerism and service to the community, Kamloops Fire Rescue is using the oppor-tunity to help the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA and the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops send Kamloops kids to sum-mer camp.

“Both charitable organizations do out-standing work in supporting children and youth in their journey toward becom-ing healthy, produc-tive members of our Canadian society.”

Stanton is the author of eight books on run-ning and walking.

He is also a Member of the Order of Canada

for his contribution to fitness and his work with charities.

He will lead School’s Out For Summer run/walk on Wednesday, June 29, at 6 p.m. at the new Running Room in Columbia Place Shopping Centre, 300-1210 Summit Dr.

Entry is $10 and 100 per cent of the fee will be shared equally by the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops and the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA.

The event, which will feature 2.5-kilome-tre and five-kilometre distances, is suitable for people of all fitness levels.

Every participant gets a Running Room medal and a Canadian hand flag to show their patriotism and sup-port of Kamloops kids along the route.

A free summer-themed picnic will fol-low. People are encour-

aged to show their patriotism by wearing their best Canadiana to the event and dressing in clothing suitable to run or walk outside.

Register online at events.runningroom.com or pick up an entry form at any Kamloops fire station, the YMCA-YWCA or the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops.

People can also sign up at the Running Room on the day of the event.

For more event information, e-mail [email protected].

CREATIVE BEGINNINGS


With summer just around the corner, KidSport and Triple O’s have teamed up to help B.C. kids get in the game.

Following a successful partnership in 2010 that raised $25,000 for KidSport BC, Triple O’s launched a two-week promotion for the same cause on June 20 that continues to July 3.

The public will be able to contribute to their local KidSport chapter when ordering off the Triple O’s menu in any of the 30 par-ticipating locations.

Funds raised during the two-week period will help kids with financial barriers experi-ence the benefits of sport participation by covering the registration fees for a sport sea-son of their choice.

“Triple O’s is a community staple in B.C.,” said KidSport BC director Pete Quevillon.

“With their support, KidSport is better-equipped to serve kids in communities across the province who are inspired to be active and get involved in organized sport this summer.”

White Spot hospitality president Warren Erhart said its Triple O’s chain is thrilled to be in partnership with KidSport.

“We feel that every child should be able to experience the benefits that playing a sport can give them and we look forward to contributing to such a worthy organization.”

Since its inception, KidSport has enabled 250,000 children to play sport across the country.

With assistance from partners like Triple

O’s, KidSport BC continues to expand its reach to ensure all children across the prov-ince have the opportunity to experience the power of sport.

KidSport was established by SportBC in 1998 and is in 39 communities in the prov-ince.

It is a community-based sports funding program that provides grants for financially disadvantaged children ages 6 to 18 to par-ticipate in amateur sport and learn valuable life lessons and skills.

For more information about KidSport, go online to kidsport.ca.

Tweet to giveIn addition to donating in-store, people

can help raise money for KidSport by visit-ing Triple O’s on Twitter at twitter.com/TripleOs.

From now to July 3, Triple O’s will donate an extra $1 to KidSport for every re-tweet of the promotional details.

OBITUARIES AND IN MEMORIAM

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fi elds of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling fl ight.

I am the start-shine of the night. I am in the fl owers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there – I did not die.

Alexander "Sandy" Fairbrother

February 14, 1954 ~ May 21, 2011 One night a man had a dream, He dreamed

he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky fl ashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.When the last scene of his life fl ashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffer-ing, when you saw only one set of foot-prints, it was then that I carried you.”
