DAY K A M L O O P S

THIS WEEK

An independent lifeBy Michael Potestio

STAFF [email protected]

CONNIE MEYERS NEVER WANTED A HELPING HAND.

The 98-year-old Kamloops Heritage Railway (KHR) machinist gladly

offered his assistance to anyone who sought it, but always insisted he could do his own work.

“You [could] say he was a bit stubborn, but he was definitely his own man,” said Kamloops Heritage Railway president Glen Wideman.

Fellow KHR volunteer Arthur Styles recalled that if Meyers were to trip and fall and someone offered to help him up, he’d chase that person away.

Meyers was one of the first members of the Kamloops Heritage Railway, dedicating 18 years of his life to the KHR until he passed away on July 2, two years shy of becoming a centenarian.

Bob Cheramy, another colleague of Meyers’, said in the last few years, Meyers had a hard time walking, used a crutch and had difficulty climbing stairs in the shop.

This prompted his fellow volunteers to keep

an eye on him by calling or driving by his home to make sure he was all right.

On June 28, Wideman said Meyers phoned and wasn’t feeling well.

Meyers, a man known to never ask for help, was in need.

Cheramy and another volunteer went to check on him at his North Kamloops home.

Cheramy said Meyers had a hard time speak-ing, but they understood he was concerned about his property taxes. He asked the pair to take him to pay his taxes and then to the hospi-tal.

They took him to the hospital first and told him they’d take his taxes over to city hall.

As they crossed Overlanders Bridge from Meyers’ home to the hospital, Meyers told them something.

“He was talking a little bit and trying to make us understand something and the thing that we both heard as we’re crossing the bridge — and he’s looking at the water — he looked at me and he smiled a little bit and he said, ‘I’m waiting to die,’” Cheramy said.

Family shattered as daughter drowns

By Kristi PattonPENTICTON

The family of a 12-year-old girl from Kamloops who drowned in Penticton’s Skaha Lake on Sunday afternoon (July 29) is numb — and appalled with the lack of safety warnings at the popular swimming area.

“It’s very dangerous and it’s shocking that it happened,” said a female, noting she was the sister of the girl who slipped under the water at 2:30 p.m.

The female, who did not want her name published until all fam-ily members could be notified, was standing on the lakeshore with relatives, well after the

sun had set.Earlier, family

members watched as the RCMP officers and search-and-rescue members scoured the area the girl was last seen, just west of where the Okanagan River channel spills into Skaha Lake.

“She was messing around with her cous-ins doing handstands and she just slipped on the sand and went under,” the female said.

Penticton RCMP Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth said the search operation quick-ly shifted from rescue to recovery, with the help of a police dive team and a Kamloops-based RCMP helicop-ter.

“It’s not a rescue

dive at this point,” he told KTW on Monday (July 30) afternoon.

“It’s the recovery of a body to get some clo-sure to the family.”

Wrigglesworth said parts of Skaha Lake in the area near the chan-nel are as deep as 100 feet.

“It’s very well-signed,” he said.

“But, people go out past the buoys all the time.”

According to the family, the 12-year-old girl had walked out to the yellow warning buoys and the water was very shallow.

The female family member said the water was perhaps waist deep.

Connie Meyers, an

original member of

the Kamloops Heritage

Railroad, was 98 when

he passed away

recently. For those with

the railroad and

others in the

community, Meyers

could often be found

at work in front of his

machinist

metal lathe.

The two men tried

to make light of the

comment, telling

Meyers he had plenty

of gas left in the tank

and that the doctors

would make sure he

felt better.

“I’m not sure wheth-

er he believed us — he

probably didn’t — but,

nonetheless, those

were the last words I

clearly heard him say,”

Cheramy said.

“He was one of a

kind,” said Styles, who

assisted with many of

the funeral arrange-

ments.

Wideman said

Meyers showed him

around when he first

volunteered at KHR. He said Meyers’

claim to fame was making bolts required for the train engines, noting Meyers would buy and cut the steel himself.

“Well, that’s his claim to fame. I don’t know if that’s really true, but that’s what he said,” Wideman said.

Meyers was born on March 29, 1914,

delivered by his grand-mother on the shores of Meyers Lake in Saskatchewan, the eldest of 10 siblings.

He helped build the Alaska Highway from 1942 to 1949 and, in 1953, bought a lot in Kamloops for $300, on which he built the house that remained his home until his death.

Cheramy said when he first met Meyers back in 2000, he didn’t think he looked his age.

“I didn’t realize how old he was at that time because you could tell he was an elderly gentleman, but I didn’t think he was as old as he was.”

Meyers certainly didn’t act his age, with Wideman point-ing out his social life was livelier than most of the volunteers at KHR.

Meyers was a mem-ber of the Kamloops Royal Canadian Legion, the Kamloops Fish and Game Association and the Moose Lodge.

He also belonged to the Kamloops chapter of the Vintage Car Club and drove around town in a 1973 Cadillac, on which he constantly did his own repairs.

He was also a mem-ber of the Barnhartvale

Dance Club, which met on Sundays.

Wideman said Meyers had a “bum” leg he injured while playing baseball. It was an injury that eventually put an end to his dancing days.

“He faithfully went

to that dance group every Sunday when he was around but, in the later years, he said he still went to them, but he didn’t dance much,” Wideman said.

Over the years, Meyers donated many items to the KHR,

including two lathe machines and a three-foot working model of a tractor.

Wideman said Meyers’ specialty at KHR was operat-ing the drill press — and he was a dedicated volunteer in

the backshop. “Volunteers meet

there every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and there wasn’t too many days that he missed,” Wideman said.

“We still feel his presence.”

Bus ridership is up slightly in the Tournament Capital, according to a per-formance report from Kamloops Transit headed to city council today.

According to the report, ridership has increased by four per cent over the transit authority’s last fis-cal year, with an extra 138,162 rides logged in 2011-2012. Overall, people in Kamloops rode the bus more than 3.6-million times.

Three bus routes accounted for nearly half of all passenger boarding: Gleneagles, Aberdeen and Westsyde. The few-est boards came from the Lorne Street route, which council voted to take out of service during budget talks this spring.

HandiDART service saw a larger increase in ridership than main-stream transit, with nine per cent more rides taken this year, or an extra 9,553.

Revenue at Kamloops Transit is also up nine per cent this year and the report states the Kamloops service has the lowest operating cost per ride of any city of compara-ble size in the province.

In Kamloops, it costs $2.61 per ride to oper-ate the transit service, compared to an average of $3.18.

Judgment day has arrived and the Tournament

Capital is under the critical eyes of Communities in

Bloom judges Bob Ivison and Alain Cappelle.

Kamloops is entered in the Communities in Bloom

International Challenge and is being judged based

on tidiness, environmental action, heritage conserva-

tion, winter life, urban forestry landscape and floral

displays.

Each of these sections is judged based on munici-

pal, business, residential and community involvement,

said Gay Pooler, co-chair of Kamloops’ Communities

in Bloom committee.

So far, so good was how the judges described

Kamloops on Monday, July 30. They will be in town

until Wednesday, Aug. 1.

“Just starting judging today,” Capelle said on

Monday while at Tranquille Fresh Farm.

“From what we have seen until now is really from

a high, high standard.”However, the judges echo, it’s not about winning as

the real prize is the participation.“It’s not about winning the prize, it’s about being

part of it, being part of Communities in Bloom,” Capelle said.

“If you can win, that’s great and it’s nice to have the plaque on the wall, but I think the benefit is to the community and what they can achieve together,” Ivison added.

Based on what he had seen, Ivison said it appeared as though the municipality, businesses and the rest of the Kamloops community have come together to pro-duce amazing results.

“They do seem to be coming together and really producing what are excellent community facilities,” he said.

Ivison described projects ongoing at Tranquille as being “absolutely visionary.”

The judges left via helicopter from Tranquille Farm to get a bird’s-eye view of Kamloops.

KTW caught up with the judges after they toured

Tranquille and checked out the work being done at the

Cinnamon Ridge compost site.

“Cinnamon Ridge we’ve just looked at. Again, it’s

something that every community’s got to get involved

in,” Ivison said.

“That seems to be working there very well. The

quality of the material coming out — compost — is

excellent and obviously being re-used by the commu-

nity, both the municipality and the individuals as well.”

The judges have extensive environmental back-

grounds.

Ivison, from England, has a background in horti-

culture and judges for London in Bloom.

Capelle, from Belgium, has more than 25 years of

experience as a landscape architect and has competed

in various international competitions for local environ-

ments management.

Ivison said every community is different, as is the

scale of a community’s initiatives.

What judges look for, he said, is how people work

together and use their resources.

‘Abolutely visionary’ Kamloops projectsCommunities in Bloom international judges laud city for ‘high, high’ standards

Communities in Bloom judges Bob Ivison (middle)

and Alain Capelle (right) get set to take flight from

Tranquille Farm to get a bird’s-eye view of Kamloops

competition, the city is facing off against five other communities: Leduc, Alta.;

Pembroke, Ont.; Ville de Rosemere, Que.; Killarney,

Ireland, and Singapore’s South West District.

Aberdeen project has second public hearing tonightThe developers of a 58-unit

strata project proposed for

Aberdeen are getting a sec-

ond chance to pitch their case

tonight.

A rezoning application for

2171 Van Horne Dr. was turned

down by Kamloops council in

May due to concerns about the

development’s effect on ground

and storm water in the area.

However, developer

Craftsman Ventures redesigned

the project, which includes

a mix of duplex, triplex and

apartment-style housing, and

was able to convince council to

reconsider.

If council approves the

rezoning, the lot next to

Aberdeen elementary will

change from church use to

multi-family residential.

At the last public hearing

in May, more than 100 neigh-

bours came out to protest the

development, citing a loss of

privacy, damage to the charac-

ter of the neighbourhood and

flooding concerns.

A local Mountie accused of bilk-

ing a Kamloops big-box retailer out

of $1,000 in an electronics-return

scam will have his day in court.

In a meeting outside of court

earlier this month, lawyers set pre-

trial and trial dates for RCMP Const.

Trent Wessner.

The 32-year-old Mountie is fac-

ing one count of fraud under $5,000,

stemming from an allegation he pur-

chased about $1,000 worth of stereo

equipment from the store, then lied to

Costco staff about returning it.

He somehow wound up with the

returned cash and the equipment,

investigators have said.

The offence is alleged to have taken place between Aug. 25, 2010, and Sept. 15, 2010.

Wessner is stationed with the RCMP’s highway patrol in Kamloops. He is not a member with the Kamloops RCMP’s city or rural detachments.

The charge against Wessner was sworn on April 16.

He is slated to return to return to Kamloops provincial court for pre-tri-al hearings in December and January, with a two-day trial slated for Feb. 28 and March 1, 2013.

Wessner was suspended with pay after he was charged.

RCMP brass said at the time they hoped to have that changed to sus-pended without pay, but no updated information is available.

On March 14, 2007, Terry Lake was out-side the Rendezvous Hotel with Kamloops Mounties as they pulled off a dramatic, explo-sive arrest of two of the city’s gang leaders.

Lake, the then-mayor of Kamloops, happened to be on a ride-along with then-Insp. Yves Lacasse, who wanted to show off his detach-ment’s new crime-reduction strategies at work.

Lacasse got called to

the ‘Vous for the arrests

of Jayme Russell and

Thomas Crawford, and

Lake tagged along.

On Friday, July 27,

Lake, in his current

role as Liberal MLA

for Kamloops-North

Thompson, was one of

a group of dignitaries on hand at the formerly notorious building on West Victoria Street to cut the ribbon on Emerald Centre — a homeless shelter and

transitional housing complex on the former site of the Rendezvous.

“It’s a complete turnaround for this facility — a place that was home to gang lead-

ers and drug dealers and the exploitation of women, to a place that’s going to give hope,” Lake told KTW.

“That’s the past, but now we have this phoenix rising.”

The phoenix of which Lake speaks is a 35-bed emergency shelter — including 12 spots for women — and 11 transitional apart-ments.

Kamloops Coun. Tina Lange also har-kened back to the old ‘Vous in speaking at the ribbon-cutting cer-emony.

“I tell you, it was just a crap hole,” she said.

“It was really bad.”But, Lange said,

that’s no longer the case.

“I always saw this as a very negative build-ing — a building that destroyed people,” she said.

“But, now, it’s a building that builds people up.”

Emerald Centre will be operated by the Kamloops chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Doug Sage, execu-tive director of the association, said the new facility is just what Kamloops’ marginalized community needed.

“If you’re home-less and you’ve been mucking on the streets in plus-40 weather or minus-20 weather, you need a place like this,” he said.

“We are excited by the chance to provide a safe, secure environment to help the people who come here to set new goals and work toward realizing a brighter future.”

THE ‘VOUS THAT WASThe Rendezvous used to be a strip club and hotel, but operated

more like a rooming house. It was shut down in 2008 after a damning report by liquor inspectors led to its licence being yanked.

The report noted 133 police files involving the Rendezvous between 2006 and 2008, and said almost every ‘Vous resident had at least two-dozen criminal convictions.

In April 2008, before the report was issued, Kamloops Mounties raided the Rendezvous and found 50 grams of cocaine in the office of Christine Rae, who was then the owner of the building.

She was later sentenced to six months in jail.Jayme Russell, believed at one time to be the leader of the local

cell of the Independent Soldiers street gang, testified in court that he used to “work security” at the Rendezvous.

During the raid on Rae’s office, investigators found Independent Soldiers paraphernalia.

“On a hot day in Kamloops, if you wanted to find a criminal or a member of a criminal organization you would go to the Rendezvous Hotel,” said B.C. liquor inspector Greg Boggiss in the 2008 report.

In 2010, the provincial government purchased the building for $853,000. The renovation work cost $2.7 million.

Kamloops’ living wage is keep-ing up with inflation.

The latest calculations from the Changing Face of Poverty commit-tee peg Kamloops’ living wage at $17.95 an hour, up from $17.30 in 2011.

The wage is calculated based on the expenses of a family of four with two young children and two parents working 35 hours a week each and includes government transfers and deductions such as EI premiums.

While this year’s wage is up 65 cents from last year, Jeff Hicks, a research assistant with the Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan, said much of that change is due to some adjustments to the calculation that bring it more in line with similar calculations done across the province.

Without the calculation changes, the real difference in this year’s liv-ing wage is about two per cent, just slightly under the rate of inflation.

The Kamloops wage is lower than several other calculations.

Vancouver’s living wage for 2012 was $19.16 and Victoria’s $18.07.

“It represents the lower cost of living and that would be expected, especially given shelter costs are much higher in Vancouver,” said Hicks.

However, the measure of a com-munity’s health isn’t how high or low its living wage is, he said, but “whether people’s incomes match the expenses they face.”

That number wasn’t calculated for Kamloops last year, when the committee released its first living wage numbers.

But, it will come in the next couple weeks, once Hicks crunches income data from Statistics Canada.

“We’ll be doing some compari-sons of that, as to how many people roughly are below this household income that you require to meet the basic level of expenses,” he said.

While other living-wage propo-nents have in the past pushed for the City of Kamloops to adopt a living-wage policy, Hick said the commit-tee’s calculations are more about raising awareness.

“We give this information to the community, but we’re not pushing for a municipal ordinance, we’re not pushing for an official campaign,” he said.

Instead, employers may look at the data as they make choices about how to run their workplaces.

“This kind of information can factor into people’s decisions in many different ways beyond wage conditions, whether it’s simply being more lenient with their days off or making the work environment more family-friendly,” he said.

“There’s all sorts of decisions that having this information in the back of your mind could change the outlook of.”

One key difference for the Kamloops area, compared to Vancouver, is that single parent fam-ilies can get by on a far lower wage than their two-parent counterparts.

Here, the single-parent living wage is $13.59.

In Vancouver, the standard liv-ing wage isn’t considered enough money to support a single parent and children.

What the living wage includes:Food, rent, a $40 phone plan, one

car and a BC Transit bus pass, child care and up to $1,500 in non-MSP health care per year.

What it doesn’t cover:College funds for the kids, saving

for home ownership, payments for any student loan debt.

City living wage pegged at $17.95 an hour

Despite glitches, Games will be great

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

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

The sixth Olympic ring is schadenfreude.

In the days leading up to the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, the international media had been gleefully chronicling the myriad gaffes and shortcomings that had organizers scrambling and issu-ing statements of reassurance that all will be well.

First it was the weather, cold and rainy, then suddenly so hot power

lines for a new rail service to the Olympic Stadium were melting, result-ing in delays and shut-downs.

Ah, yes, transportation, the eter-nal Achilles heel of every modern Olympics; if it’s not cabbies protest-ing on the Tower Bridge, it’s every-day commuters fretting through gridlock to allow Olympic officials free passage along exclusive traffic lanes.

There are worries about security, as the private company contracted to make the Games safe underes-timated the magnitude of the job, necessitating the deployment of the military.

Customs agents are threatening to strike. And, nobody is sure how much it will all cost in the end.

Sound familiar?Two years ago, B.C. was sweat-

ing many of those very same issues in the days preceding Vancouver’s Winter Olympics. And, no one was more vocal in their criticism than the British media; one paper even girded their readers for “the worst Games ever.”

But, the problems were forgot-ten as soon as Wayne Gretzky lit the Olympic cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza. Just as they will be as the London Games proceed.

And we will all settle in for the dazzling athletic competition, com-pelling human-interest stories and national pride.

We’ll cheer everyone in red and white, but especially our local heroes — Dylan Armstrong, Catharine Pendrell, Sultana Frizell, Justin Rodhe and Kibwe Johnson — as they seek to claim a medal that will bring to fruition all the hours of training right here in the Tournament Capital.

The NDP can be defeated if — and it’s a big if — this happens

THERE IS A GREAT DEAL of talk, particu-larly among B.C. Liberal supporters, about rebuild-

ing the coalition of what is often called “the free-enterprise vote.”

They are correct that it takes a coalition to keep the NDP out of office.

Recent polls show the NDP with 45 to 50 per cent support, which will give the party a huge majority in the next election, should those numbers hold.

B.C. has had what in effect are free-enterprise coalition govern-ments since 1941, except when the coalitions fell apart.

The one notable exception was in 1952, when Social Credit came to power with 19 seats in a minor-ity government.

The only reason it was elected was the presence of the transfer-able ballot, which the former coalition partners (Liberals and Conservatives) agreed on before exiting from an arrangement about which both were unhappy.

It didn’t help them, but it did lead to the beginning of a Social Credit dynasty.

Social Credit was the coalition vehicle from 1952 until 1991 but, in 1972, it was challenged by reju-venated Liberal and Conservative parties, with young, telegenic lead-ers who were a contrast to 72-year-old W.A.C. Bennett.

The NDP won with the four-way split of votes.

Grace McCarthy and the

Majority Movement put Social Credit back together again, and it stayed that way until Bill Vander Zalm’s troubles caused many sup-porters to look elsewhere.

In 1991, they went to the Liberals, who won 17 seats with a minimalist campaign.

That made them the coalition party of choice, but it took a while.

In 1996, the remnant of the Socreds was known as the B.C. Reform Party and its share of the vote meant the NDP won a second term under Glen Clark.

The free-enterprise coalition has a very slim chance to win the 2013 election, but only if all the follow-ing happen:

1. Premier Christy Clark resigns ASAP. She simply can’t bring the coalition together;

2. All senior cabinet ministers closely identified with the Gordon Campbell government indicate they won’t run again.

This includes MLAs Rich Coleman and Mary Polak, as well as Mike de Jong, Shirley Bond,

Kevin Falcon, George Abbott and ex-minister Colin Hansen.

It does not include Blair Lekstrom, the only Liberal MLA to take the correct stance on the HST.

He resigned from cabinet and caucus because cabinet wouldn’t agree to do more consultation. He is a man of principle;

3. A truly neutral third party, respected by all sides (and not part of the downtown Vancouver business community) negotiates with John Cummins and the Conservatives;

4. As a result, there is a merger agreement between the two parties and an open leadership race, with ongoing financial disclosures (dur-ing, not after, the campaign) for all candidates.

In addition, there must be no mass member sign-ups, agreed to in writing by all leadership candi-dates;

5. The new leader must have a clean track record and an ability to bring people together.

She or he calls an inquiry into the BC Rail scandal; calls off liquor privatization; stops BC Hydro, MSP and ICBC rate hikes and opposes the Enbridge pipeline.

That could give the coalition a ghost of a chance.

Re: Letter: Reworking Sturgis North:

“I was at the 2012 Sturgis North and total-ly agree — I won’t be going back.

“They didn’t keep what worked in 2011 and improve; instead, they went backwards.

“The shower set-up was downgraded and if and when they had water, it was cold.

“They put tenters and trailers in a dry, dusty hayfield and there were absolutely no trees to shade us from the 40 C heat.

“We had to be bused to events when we were promised to be within walking distance.

“It was definitely not worth what was charged! The camping part sucked, but the entertainers were good.”

Mine too close to residencesEditor:

When fireworks go off in Riverside Park, I hear them from inside our home three kilome-tres away in Sahali.

Acquaintances hear them in Juniper Ridge, seven kilometres away.

In fact, a good percentage of Kamloopsians hear the fireworks from their homes.

So, if we hear the relatively minor pops of fireworks, might we hear the blasting of 205,000 tons of rock a day if the proposed Ajax open-pit mine goes ahead?

Of course we would. The daily noise would be bad for our

health, concentration, rest, enjoyment of our property and general quality of life.

Most affected would be people living in Aberdeen and Pineview Valley, where many homes are only 1.5 kilometres from the mine.

(The mine’s property is 50 per cent within city limits.)

But, even Kamloopsians living considerably farther away would be affected.

Residents of Logan Lake say they some-times hear blasting from the Highland Valley Copper mine 16 kilometres from them.

Fortunately for them, they are far enough away that only winds directly from the west bring them the sounds of the explosions.

The distance also diminishes the noise. It would be different in Kamloops. We would be immediately next to the pro-

posed Ajax mine site, which is about eight kilometres wide, and we would be downwind of it.

That means we would constantly be on the receiving end of noise, not just from the blast-ing, but from the trucks and the ore-processing plant.

Ajax’s target ore body is very large, extend-ing many kilometres. So, how about moving that proposed mine farther away from where 90,000 Kamloopsians live, work, play and try to rest?

Elma SchemenauerKamloops

Editor:I don’t quite understand all the

concerns of the proposed Ajax mine. The mine has a lot of environ-

mental regulations to meet, includ-ing a large dollar bond to be in place for the end of life wind-down.

I am more concerned about the Owl Road dump that is in the mid-dle of the city.

Has anyone complained lately about the massive dust clouds on any windy day from it?

How about the poor track record of the owner and his cavalier atti-tude?

Dennis VolansKamloops

Forget Ajax, what about Owl Road?

Editor:It a good thing

the judges are flying over the Tournament Capital Ranch.

If they were to walk outside the $10-mil-lion-plus ball fields, they would have to walk through six-foot high plumeless thistles.

They shouldn’t fly over at night either or they would be blinded by the lights on the ball fields — even though there are no games going on.

Come on, Kamloops, smarten up, get rid of the weeds so people can walk through the park and turn off the lights.

Be Power Smart and save us some money.

Leigh MooreKamloops

Lights, thistles — play ball!

Editor:Re: (City payroll

jumps by $3 million, July 10): The salaries paid to city staff, as

listed in your newpaper, are way out of line.

Most workers in Kamloops are probably paid one-third these sal-

ary on an annual basis. Who sets the stan-

dards for this level of salaries?

These rates are an

insult to working people in this city and province.

Bring it on.That’s the response

from Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake to a damning report from B.C.’s auditor general, describing Victoria’s books as a huge mess.

“We’ve known that this has been an issue,” Lake told KTW.

“I think having the auditor general’s report will help us in terms of . . . coming up with something construc-tive.”

Auditor General John Doyle said years of neglect resulted in a $1.3-billion discrepancy in his review.

The next step for Doyle will be to audit MLA spending — something Lake wel-comed with open arms.

“I’m happy to have my expenses audited any time,” he said.

“I run my constitu-ency office in a way that’s transparent and I think we all should be doing that.”

Meanwhile, the Legislative Assembly Management Committee will meet

on Tuesday, July 31, to discuss Doyle’s critical report.

The committee is the statutory all-party committee responsible for the overall manage-ment and administra-tion of the Legislative Assembly.

Following this meet-ing, the committee will issue a public statement, including a

full schedule of meetings and a work plan to expedite action on audit concerns.

“As chair of the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, I take the report and its findings very seriously”, said Bill Barisoff, Speaker

of the Legislative

Assembly and B.C.

Liberal MLA for

Penticton.

Doyle’s review fol-

lowed his report on the

provincial government’s

reporting this week on

the deficit.

While Finance

Minister Kevin Falcon

announced the province

posted a $1.8-billion

deficit for the 2011-

2012 fiscal year, Doyle

said the actual deficit is

actually $2.35 billion

— $520 million more

than the B.C. Liberals

reported.

Doyle said the deficit

is higher than reported

because some of the

government’s financial

summary does not fol-

low generally accepted

accounting practices.

The auditor-general

noted that auditors-

general have raised con-

cerns about provincial

government financial

statements in 13 of the

past 17 years.

Two Lower Mainland residents are facing a string of charges after an alert Aberdeen Mall shopper called police with a tip last week.

On Friday, July 27, a shopper in the Kamloops mall park-ing lot near Future Shop called Mounties to report a person breaking into multiple vehicles in the area.

By the time police got to the parking lot, the suspect had taken off in a Honda CRV.

An officer spot-ted the vehicle on a Dufferin residential street, police said, and the suspect fled on foot.

A female passenger remained at the scene and was taken into cus-tody.

Witnesses told police they saw the

male suspect run into the Canadian Tire store on Hillside Drive.

A perimeter was set up, police said, and the male was arrested inside the store.

According to Mounties, the suspect was found to be in possession of items allegedly stolen from Canadian Tire.

Both suspects are expected to face

charges of theft under $5,000, possession of stolen property over and under $5,000, driv-ing while prohibited, drug possession, pos-session of break-in instruments and a num-ber of breach charges.

The Honda CRV had earlier been reported stolen out of Chilliwack.

No names have been released.

Shopper helps with bust

Help the Knights send wheelchairs to Colombia

The Knights of Columbus are looking to Kamloops residents for help in raising funds to ship a container of 100 wheelchairs and replacement parts to Columbia in January.

They are in the process of raising $16,500 to fill a container with wheelchairs, which will be sent to Colombia by the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation.

Some local Knights will be travelling with their spouses to make the delivery.

Once there, they will help translate and distrib-ute the wheelchairs.

Those wishing to donate may do so by send-ing cheques to: Knights of Columbus Colombia Wheelchair Campaign, 635 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops, V2B 3H5.

For more information, call 250-554-6794.

LOCAL NEWS

The beach is now OPEN!

As the river levels continue to recede, the City of Kamloops has reopened the Riverside Park swimming area and began lifeguard service on Saturday, July 28.

Lifeguard service is available at the Riverside Park Beach from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. every day, weath-er and conditions permitting, through Sept. 2.

When lifeguards are on duty, the city recom-mends that swimmers stay within the buoy lines and always keep young children within arm’s reach.

The city urges parents and guardians to closely supervise children with inflatable toys as they can blow away from shore and childre n will often fol-low them to deeper water.

For the public’s information, an automated external defibrillator unit is located in the Riverside Park lifeguard office and will be available during lifeguard on-duty hours.

In the event of a medical emergency, call 911 and immediately alert the lifeguards.

Go online to kamloops.ca/swim for more water-smart tips.

Flood-damage assistanceKamloops residents

impacted by flood damage in the past month may apply for funding through the province’s disaster financial assistance program, which is legislated by the Emergency Program Act under the Ministry of Justice.

B.C.’s disaster financial assistance program helps those impacted by a disaster cope with the cost of repairs and recovery from uninsurable disaster-related prop-erty damage.

Kamloops residents who were impacted by the recent flood-

ing may apply for financial assistance. The program helps to replace or restore essential items and property to pre-disas-ter condition.

Insurable damages, such as sewer or sump pit back-up or water entry from above ground, including roofs and windows, are not eligible for assistance from the program.

Residents wishing to apply for assistance and have their applica-tions reviewed by the province may do so by going online to http://pep.bc.ca/dfa_claims/SummaryofDFA.pdf.

With the Thompson River finally receding, the city has reopened the beach at Riverside Park. Lifeguards will be on duty every day from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., weather and conditions permitting, through Sept. 2. KTW file photo

UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfi sh at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phyto-plankton for use in the Aquaculture indus-try. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profi le, upon his diagnosis he de-cided to consume the blend of micronutri-ents as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was in-explicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was offi cially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a random-ized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who con-ducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE re-ally does help enhance the immune system and support mood fl uctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being.

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more atten-tion than Harper could have imagined. “Peo-ple were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the offi ce so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Follow-ing the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UM-AC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a com-plete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most com-plete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s effi cacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”

Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the envi-ronment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

Also, once the majority of plankton is har-vested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain. Extraordinary benefi ts have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years. UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Cap-sule formulations.

HOT DOGS — AND COPS — FOR KIDS

New Afton Minehonoured with award

New Gold Inc.’s New Afton Mine west of Kamloops is already an award-winner.

New Afton has been selected by the Industry Council for Aboriginal Business (ICAB) as a recipient of the Corporate Champion for Aboriginal Business Award.

The award is in recognition of New Afton’s lead-ership in fostering opportunities for aboriginal people and economic development through its partnership with the B.C. Aboriginal Mine Training Association (BC AMTA).

The ICAB Recognition Awards honour individu-als and corporations that demonstrate leadership in developing aboriginal and non-aboriginal business relationships.

The Corporate Champion for Aboriginal Business Award recognizes a non-aboriginal corporation that has demonstrated leadership and best practices in establishing a working relationship with an aboriginal business.

“The New Afton Mine management team has shown proactive leadership by working with B.C. AMTA to create employment and contracting oppor-tunities for local First Nations that surpassed our expectations,” said Laurie Sterritt, executive director of the B.C. AMTA.

“New Afton consistently challenged the status quo by making decisions based on the question, ‘What is the right thing to do?’ and recognizing the financial benefits that result for First Nations and the com-pany.”

The New Afton/B.C. AMTA partnership has bridged employment gaps in aboriginal communi-ties, which Sterritt said has led to greater aboriginal participation in the labour market, while at the same time filling projected labour and skills shortages in the mining industry.

Chief Shane Gottfriedson of the Tk’emlúps Indian Band agrees the partnership between B.C. AMTA and New Gold is a success story. Several of the band’s members have participated in BC AMTA pro-grams and are now working at the New Afton Mine.

“The partnership is an excellent example of how First Nations and the mining industry can work together to come up with solutions that work for us all. Economic development is the door to financial freedom and prosperity for First Nations, and this serves as a shining example,” Gottfriedson said.

COVER PAGE STORYRCMP and Penticton Search and Rescue teams search the waters just off the shores of Skaha Lake on Monday, July 30, for a 12-year-old Kamloops girl who slipped into the deep part of the lake and drowned. Mark Brett/Penticton Western News

She said it was only after the incident that she learned the drop-off after the buoys was incredibly steep.

She said her sister had been sitting on the shoul-ders of another family member and the duo was playing in the water when the family member lost her footing at the drop-off.

“She slipped on the sand and went under water and then there was screaming of, ‘Help! My cousin is drowning!’ Instantly, all the boats and people in the water were trying to help,” said one of the fam-ily members.

“One woman nearby grabbed one of the girl’s hands and helped her, but couldn’t reach [the 12-year-old].”

As the sun started to set at about 8 p.m. on Sunday, the family huddled on the beach, some lining the shore, intently watching the rescue boats and hoping for any sign of the girl’s body.

The family of the girl said the incident happened so quickly — and they don’t understand why there are no warnings and why a log barrier onto which swimmers can grab as a last resort is not at the buoys.

“I think people should know about this because it is an outrage,” the female family member said.

“It could have been any of the kids that were out here today. There is no adequate warning signs and I don’t understand why there isn’t or why there isn’t a lifeguard here.”

Wrigglesworth said investigators believe the kids playing in the water were unattended.

“It didn’t sound like they were supervised by any adults,” he said, urging swimmers to use cau-tion in all situations.

“People think it’s all fun and games, but things can happen so quickly.”

Search crews, Wrigglesworth said, will evaluate the situation “day-to-day” to determine how long the search will go on.

Family decries lack of warning signs; RCMP says area ‘well-signed’

The Interior Health

Authority is mov-

ing forward with the

recently announced first

phase of Royal Inland

Hospital redevelopment

by posting a request for

proposals (RFP) for the

initial design work on

the new clinical-servic-

es building.

On July 11,

Premier Christy Clark

announced the first

phase of the redevelop-

ment of Royal Inland

Hospital, which will

include a new clinical

services building, medi-

cal teaching space and

more onsite parking.

The RFP is for initial

indicative design work

for the new building.

This first step will

look at space require-

ments and examine

which of the hospital’s

outpatient services

might be most appropri-

ate to move to the new

building.

“The

commit-

ment for

further

planning

to expand

Royal

Inland

with a

new clinical-services

building will help us

continue to deliver high

quality care and ensure

access,” said IHA board

chairman Norman

Embree.

The first phase

of redevelopment is

estimated to cost in

the range of $70 to

$80 million and will

be shared with the

Thompson Regional

Hospital District.

Detailed construction

costs will be determined

when the business case

is approved in early

2013.

The RFP has been

posted online on the BC

Bid website. The RFP

will close at the end of

August and the contract

will likely be awarded

in early September.

Sunday, August 12th 3pm - 6pm Thistle Farm, 710 Dairy Road, Westsyde (Kamloops)Food • Drink • Entertainment • Children’s activities • Fun for the entire family!

You’re invited to Thistle Farm in Westsyde for the 2nd annual “farm2chefs” event. Chefs from Kamloops to Salmon Arm are gathering to showcase the very best that local growers, farmers, ranchers, vintners and brewers have to offer. Guests will nibble and sip their way around this picturesque organic farm, enjoying fantastic food and drink from around the region.

Farm2Chefs is a “grazing event, where everyone wanders around the farm, sampling small dishes prepared by 15 different local restaurants and experiencing exciting new pairings for that food with local wines, beers and even a local coffee roaster. All participants use local and seasonal ingredients and food is served on natural or edible dishes, so waste is reduced while fl avours are enhanced.

Farm2Chefs celebrates connecting local farmers, producers and distributors with local chefs to create a sustainable food system. The Thomp-son-Shuswap Chef Farmer Collaborative seeks to join together those who cook with those who grow and farm2chefs is the fruit of that col-laboration.

“We’ve been sourcing local produce for several years, but the collaborative allows us to extend our sources into meat, dairy, fi sh, beer and wine,” says Ed Walker, chair of the Collaborative and of the Thompson Rivers University Culinary Arts Department. “We are very excited to see so many area chefs putting local food on their menus. It’s great for farmers and the local economy, and our food tastes better.”

Tickets for the event are available at the Kamloops Farmers Market every Saturday and online at www.farm2chefs.com

Don’t delay – Buy your tickets today. All tickets are in advance only. – there will be no tickets at the gate.

To many in the Kamloops squash com-munity, having two courts in a city known as the Tournament Capital is nothing to boast about.

At the same time, something is better than nothing, said Dave Clutton, president of the Kamloops Squash Association (KSA).

“There are some people who are going to be absolutely thrilled,” Clutton said.

“It’s a great step in a good direction because we have noth-ing, but, in terms of the Tournament Capital, we’re not there yet.”

Darren and Maria Maywood and Andrew and Lisa Watson pur-chased Malone’s on 8th and will be morphing it

into No Limits Fitness Centre, which will house the courts.

KSA director and local realtor Mike Mitchell was influen-tial in convincing the Maywoods to keep the courts located in the North Shore building.

“They didn’t have to put courts in,” Clutton said.

“They had plans to utilize the entire build-ing.”

In the summer of 2008, Racquetor Courts and Fitness on McGill Road closed its doors.

Malone’s followed suit in May of 2010.

One ragged, unof-ficial-sized, dimly lit court in the Thompson Rivers University gym-nasium became the only place to knock the little rubber ball around — until it closed earlier this year.

There seemed to be light at the end of the tunnel for Tournament Capital squash enthu-siasts when Kamloops vied for the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

As part of the city’s $9-million bid, the squash facility at TRU was in line for a serious upgrade, said Byron McCorkell, director of parks, recreation and cultural services for the city.

The upgrade would have seen the addition of three more courts, residing where the out-door basketball court behind the gym is now situated.

Included in the plans were a two-wall exten-sion of the gymnasium and an extended roof-line, which would have cost about $1.3 million, McCorkell said.

Instead, Prince

George landed a killer blow — a hard, low ball up the wall — and won the bid. Kamloops was left stunned in no man’s land, watching and wondering what could have been.

Clutton said an ideal squash-specific facil-ity would cost more than $1 million, but “nobody’s stepping for-ward with that.”

Until money falls out of the sky like a well-placed serve, the KSA will give its full support to No Limits.

Clutton will be con-ducting a survey to find out what the associa-tion’s members want from the new facility.

He estimated there were between 100 and 120 players who fre-quented Malone’s when its courts were still open.

There would have

been more, Clutton said, if the facility was better.

“A lot of people wouldn’t go there,” he said.

“It was kind of a dodgy atmosphere.”

A KSA newsletter is sent via email to about 350 people. There are about 200 KSA mem-bers.

Most of them will be happy to have a place to play when No Limits opens, possibly in December, but not all will be fully content until the River City is home to a squash-specific venue.

“Having two courts is better than none, but we still can’t have a provincial tournament,” Clutton said.

“It’s not everything we want, but we’ll do whatever we can to help

these guys succeed.”

Bruce Madu prepares to unleash a backhand at a squash tournament held in the Thompson Rivers University gymnasium last April. That court — the last remaining in Kamloops — closed earlier this year. Malone’s on 8th has been purchased and will become No Limits Fitness Centre, which will house two courts, but is that enough to appease River City squash lovers? KTW file photo

Great results are becoming the norm for the Kamloops Track and Field Club (KTFC) — and there were more to boast about on the weekend at the national junior track and field championships in Winnipeg.

Pole vaulter Spencer Allen and hammer thrower Adam Keenan won gold medals, while Kala Stone won bronze in the 1,500-metre race.

Allen vaulted 4.65 metres, edging fellow B.C. Athletics team-mate Adam Osborne, who cleared 4.50 metres to win silver.

Keenan cruised to victory in hammer throw, tossing 71.32 metres, easily beating second-place Jordan Young, who threw 63.79 metres.

Stone completed the 1,500-metre in 4:37.55.

Emma Galbraith of Ottawa won gold with a time of 4:36.30.

Also competing for B.C. were KTFC ath-letes Breanna Derker and Daniel Elke.

Derker was sixth in women’s hammer throw with a 42.43-metre toss.

Elke placed 14th in the men’s 110-metre hurdles with a time of 15.91 seconds.

Sun edge BroncosThe Kamloops

Broncos lost 15-12 to the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna in British Columbia Football Conference exhibition play on Saturday, July 28, in Salmon Arm.

Kamloops held a 9-1 lead heading into the second half, but Okanagan clawed back, scoring a touchdown with 1:45 to play in the fourth quarter to take the lead.

A 53-yard field goal attempt by Broncos kicker Aaron Smit with time winding down was no good and the Sun held on for the win.

Running back Mike McMaster scored Kamloops’ only touch-down.

Chris Rosa of the

Broncos finished the game with a fumble recovery and an inter-ception.

The Broncos open the regular season at home against the Chilliwack Huskers at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 5.

Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m.

Heat fi zzleNeither the men’s

or women’s Kamloops Heat could escape the first round of the Pacific Coast Soccer League playoffs.

The Heat men, competing in the men’s reserve division, fell 2-1 to hometown Chilliwack FC on Saturday, July 28.

Kamloops’ women were eliminated in pen-alty kicks, losing 2-1 to the eventual premier women’s champions, the Fraser Valley Action.

Victoria United downed Chilliwack FC 3-1 to win the men’s reserve title.

Chloe McAuley scored the women’s only goal, with Justin Wallace tallying for the men.

Snakes fourth bestThe Kamloops

Rattlers placed fourth at the Bantam A2 Provincial Lacrosse Championship, which wrapped up on Sunday, July 29, in Burnaby.

Kamloops suf-fered a heartbreaking defeat in the bronze-medal matchup against

Peninsula, which scored with 40 seconds remaining to down the Rattlers.

Losses to Mission, 11-9, and Port Coquitlam, 9-2, a 5-5 tie with Ridge Meadows and a 7-3 win over Coquitlam left Kamloops with a 1-2-1 round-robin record.

Josh Bosher (10), Anthony Matusiak (5), Kaiden Merz (2), Kordell Primus (5), Brenden Bickert (4), Ryan Dergousoff, Brayden Jones and Karsten Huth scored for Kamloops on the weekend.

Ethan Milobar pro-vided the lion’s share of the Rattlers’ goal-tending, with help from Paige Dairon.

I’VE SEEN PLEN-TY OF FINISH LINES.

Sometimes, there are lots of people.

Sometimes, there is no one and I flop into the back of my car and sigh before I get in and drive home.

Sometimes, I cry.Either way, I am

satisfied to have finished and accomplished the goal I set out to achieve.

On Thursday, July 26, after almost 79 hours on the road, including 24 hours in the rain, cycling 1,200 kilometres with a total of eight hours of sleep, I found the most satisfying finish line ever at the conclusion of the Rocky Mountain 1,200, a B.C. Randonneurs’ event.

Adding to the sat-isfaction was the fact I thought I was going to have to quit within 70 kilometres of home.

We left Kamloops on July 23 at 4 a.m. in the pouring rain with a group of people who chose to ride the distance in 84 hours or less.

It was like riding through a car wash as we headed up through Clearwater, Blue River and Valemount.

On the way to Jasper, darkness fell and so did the temperature.

Many riders chose to call an end to the insan-ity.

We arrived in Jasper at 11:30 p.m. and shiv-ered our way into dry clothes and a warm bed for three hours of sleep.

On July 24, we were on the road at 4 a.m. once again — and again it was raining.

We headed down the Icefield Parkway through Beauty Creek and Saskatchewan River Crossing.

The final climb to

Bow Summit before

descending to Lake

Louise was a killer.

Arriving in Lake

Louise at 6:30 p.m., we

did a very quick transi-

tion so we could do the

descent into Field in the

daylight.

This is when I started

worrying about my hus-

band.

He was feeling light-

headed and out of sorts

and he does not like

descending, so the long dark drop over the new bridge to the Kicking Horse Rest Area and the shoulderless descent into Golden were harrowing and dangerous.

It was a relief to crawl into bed again at about 11 p.m.

Three o’clock in the morning comes early and again we were on the road at 4 a.m., head-ing for Revelstoke over the Rogers Pass.

Suddenly, it was more than 30 C and we went from six layers down to one.

The worst parts were the tunnels, with so much debris on the shoulders and the roar of the trucks passing by.

With nerves on edge, I had my first cry at the top.

After an enjoyable descent to Revelstoke, we headed off to Sicamous.

I watched the mileage signs tick down as we got closer to Kamloops and I knew the last two hundred kilometres would be the most chal-lenging because we weren’t just heading straight back.

At Sicamous, we turned toward Armstrong and were seriously los-ing our enthusiasm, so we stopped for ice cream.

I was starting to worry about my right Achilles tendon, nagging at me since before Lake Louise, where we had taped it for the first time.

At Rogers Pass, we added a tensor wrap.

Between Armstrong and Salmon Arm, we added another tensor in an attempt to immobilize it and keep the knife-blade pain from searing into my ankle.

Cycling form was going out the window as I tried to pedal mostly with the left leg and

we limped into Salmon Arm, made a quick change and headed for Falkland.

As darkness fell, so did my spirits.

The pain got worse and I looked for a foot position that would not make me scream with each revolution.

Of course, with all this shifting back and forth, saddle sores started to form with a vengeance, but the Achilles lightning bolts took priority.

When we broke out onto the highway outside Falkland, I was in so much pain.

A group of men who had been riding with us off and on caught up to us again and offered more tape to wrap from my toe to my ankle in another attempt to immobilize my ankle.

Off they went and I once again began limp-ing . . . right heel down . . . left leg power.

For some crazy reason, it seemed like keeping the injured heel down was making it better but, in the end, that was putting way too much pressure on the tendon.

Finally, just outside Falkland, my resolve broke.

I pulled over and told Chris he had to finish without me — I was pulling the pin.

We called for our support to come and get me.

My amazing in-laws were on the way.

As I slid out of the truck in Westwold, I was greeted by a carload of four amazing women who had come to hug and cry and tell me I was a winner even without getting to the finish.

Once inside the hosp-tial, the nurse removed all the layers of wrap-ping, remarking some-one had good intentions.

Much of the pain subsided once the wraps were removed.

My foot and ankle had swelled up under the wraps and I felt immedi-ate relief.

The Achilles was still inflamed and angry, and rather than being scolded by the doctor as I had expected, I was rewarded

when I asked the ques-tion, “Can I go back and finish the ride?”

I just wanted assur-ance I would not rupture the tendon.

He was amazing.He explained how I

should tape it and told me to ride in without using the injured leg as much as possible.

By this time, my friends had all gone home and I stood on the corner of Columbia and Third streets waiting for my in-laws to come and pick me up and deliver me back to the same spot where I thought it was all over.

Thankfully, the rules allow riders to leave the course as long as they come back to that same spot and finish within the time cut-offs.

I rode into Falkland in the beautiful misty morning sunshine and waved at my support vehicle as it stopped once in a while to make sure I was moving for-ward relatively pain-free.

In Westwold, I once again met up with my husband, who had been my constant companion for this epic event.

Originally, I’d told him to ride on without me and finish, but he decided to wait and ride in with me.

I can’t imagine not having him there as we rode the last 50 kilome-tres to Kamloops.

As we rode easily along, we chatted about what we would do dif-ferently if we ever did this again.

Would we ever do this again?

Unlikely, but never say never.

Finally, we were back

on the road, taking the final exit toward down-town and the Kamloops Curling Club — where the finish line was located.

As I rounded the corner, I saw my son and his two friends run-ning along the sidewalk screaming.

I saw my parents and the four ladies who had come out to support me the night before, along with two other wonder-ful friends who also do ultra-distance events.

I couldn’t help cry-ing.

But, this time, instead of being tears of disap-pointment and frustra-tion, they were com-pletely tears of joy.

In the space of 10 hours, I had gone from thinking I was finished after 1,130 kilometres, with only 70 kilometres left to riding to the fin-ish.

Just more than half of the 114 riders finished the event due to the terri-ble weather that plagued us in the beginning.

Now, I am enjoying a little piece of retirement.

I am recovering, basking and smiling a

lot.

I cry whenever I

describe it to people.

I don’t know what’s

next.

Nothing for now —

this will be pretty hard

to top.

ONE OF THE most amaz-ing things about the

recent Canadian wom-en’s amateur golf cham-pionship in Lethbridge — besides the incred-ible 14-under-par score over four rounds posted by the champ, Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand — was the utter domi-nance by teenagers.

This was the Canadian women’s amateur, not the junior women’s.

Of the top five, the elder stateswoman was a South Dakota player, Kimberley Kaufman, the only one of legal age to enjoy a cool post-round beer. She’s 20. Just call her ‘Granny.”

Jutanugarn is a 16-year-old phenom well known in the world of women’s golf, where she’s the world’s No. 1-ranked amateur.

She’s a year or two away from the LPGA Tour, where she will take on the world’s best alongside her sister, Moriya, who is 17.

Moriya finished sec-ond at Lethbridge, with a nine-under-par score.

Angel Yin of California finished fourth, and she’s 13. We’ll repeat — this is the women’s amateur.

Just in case you thought the world of young teenaged phe-noms was limited to Thailand and the U.S., think again.

The top Canadian finisher was Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. She finished fifth and she’s only 14.

Imagine that! Canada’s best women’s amateur golfer is 14!

With Canada’s foot-print on the LPGA tour about as weak these days as it has ever been — Lori Kane and Alena Sharp stand 76th and 89th, respectively, in tour earnings — golf fans in this country might have to wait another six or seven years for Henderson to lend some legitimate Maple Leaf presence to the LPGA.

“Even at five years of age you could see that she (Brooke) was special,” her pro, Paulin Vaillancourt, told

Globe and Mail colum-nist Roy McGregor.

“Even on cold, rainy days when no one else would be out here she’d be here hitting balls. She has just an incredible work ethic.”

Henderson’s youth-ful talent is not an anomaly among the top Canadians.

Second-, third- and fourth-highest finish-ing Canadians at the national championship were girls aged 17, 21 and 19.

All it means is that Canadian girls are catch-ing up to the rest of the world, where American Lexi Thompson, 17, is the next big thing, and 12-year-olds in South Korea are black sheep of their families if they’re not regularly shooting under par.

While the Jutanugarns are slam-dunk stars-to-be in women’s golf, here’s hoping Henderson can keep pace.

Goodness knows she has youth on her side.

“Quote, Unquote”• Blogger Bill

Littlejohn, on why the World Toe Wrestling Championships weren’t broadcast: “They weren’t wired for Digital TV.”

• Scott Ostler of

the San Francisco Chronicle: “They should’ve had Keith Richards light the Olympic flame by flick-ing a cigarette butt.”

• Ostler, second of three in a row: “Second-guessing: To declare the Olympics open, why didn’t they let Mick and Keith play ‘Start Me Up’?”

• Ostler’s hat trick: “The Chinese wore great outfits. I heard they were made in Connecticut.”

• From TC in BC: “In an attempt to gen-erate more revenue, NBA jerseys will fea-ture small ad patches next season. This will open the doors to The Chicago Red Bulls, Orlando Magic Kingdom, Denver McNuggets, LA Frosted Flakers & Sacramento Burger Kings. Personally. I’d like to see The Houston Rocket Scientists.”

• R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A Scottish brewery has released Never Mind the Anabolics, a beer with eight illegal, perfor-mance-enhancing ingre-dients and high alcohol content. Or as a Detroit Lion calls it, a real time-saver.”

• Currie again: “Tour de France cyclist Frank Schleck has tested positive for a banned diuretic. That sort of thing usually gets you in the end.”

• Currie’s hat-trick crack: “In case you missed it, Ultimate Fighting has come to

Calgary. And no, we

don’t mean Rider fans in

the McMahon Stadium

beer lines.”

• David Whitley, FanHouse: “Too much is always made of the headaches Olympic visitors must endure. As long as the bus delivering the Dream Team doesn’t get lost, Americans’ biggest worry is Bob Costas will develop laryngitis and NBC will sub-lease Chris Berman.”

• British golfer Lee Westwood, to the Vancouver Sun, on why he’s moving his family to Florida: “The English winters and the English summers.”

• A quick one from Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Kobe Bryant said his U.S. basketball teammates should have their citi-zenship revoked if they don’t bring home the Olympic gold medal. ‘Hey, come up with your own material,’ said the Iraqi Sports Minister.”

• Budd Bailey of the Buffalo News, on the anonymity of Olympic athletes before and after the Games: “If the Americans do well, they make some money right after the Games on a tour at an arena near you, and then we spec-tators get ready for the next NFL game.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post on the Knicks not sign-ing one-month wonder Jeremy Lin to a long-term contract after he became a free agent and signed with Houston: “Geez, that would be like “Happy Days” get-ting rid of Fonzie after a half-season.

RIVERSIDE PARK WILL SOON BE

the place for the best barbecue imagin-

able as Kamloops’ inaugural and annual

Ribfest will take place from Aug. 10 to

Aug. 12. Admission is free.

The three-day festival, to which admission is

free, is being organized by the Kamloops Daybreak

Rotary Club, which hopes to attract about 40,000

people on the weekend, according to Rotary mem-

ber and Ribfest co-chair Sandra Blair.

Various vendors will be in the park and musical

acts are scheduled for the festival.

There will be a fun zone for kids, which will

feature many games and activities. There will also

be a fun zone for adults, in the form of a 1,000-seat

Ribfest beer garden.

Of course, the main event is the rib cook-off,

featuring five teams from across Canada and the

U.S. that will do battle to determine whose ribs

reign supreme.

A panel of judges will determine the champion.

Those lucky enough to sample the culinary cre-

ations while passing judgment include Kamloops

Mayor Peter Milobar, councillors Tina Lange and

Ken Christian, Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal

MLA Terry Lake, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse.

In total, eight judges will take the taste test on Saturday, Aug. 11, from 5 p.m. to 7p.m..

Winners will be announced on Sunday, Aug. 12, at 4 p.m., including first place, second place and Best Sauce and People’s Choice awards, the latter of which will be decided via a public vote.

Ribfest visitors will be able to buy the ribs, as each team will have theirs for sale during the event.

The teams include Smoke ‘n’ Bones from North Vancouver, Gator BBQ from Ontario — originally from Florida — Prairie Smoke and Spice from Saskatchewan, Smokin’ Babes from B.C. and Smokin’ Guns BBQ from New Mexico.

Smoke ‘n’ Bones owner Justin Kyllo said Ribfest will be a very unique and fun event for Kamloops.

“This is real Southern barbecue,” Kyllo said.“A lot of people think they’ve had barbecue, but

they really haven’t. “They’ve had Canadian grilling, which is a heck

of a lot different than low and slow, low-smoked barbecue that’s done with wood and coals instead of gas.”

All five teams are “highly accredited” squads, said Kyllo, who is a Canadian National Barbecue champion and won the rib title at the 2009 U.S. National Barbecue Festival.

“You’ve got some of the top barbecue teams around coming into Kamloops for you guys,” said Kyllo.

Ribfest will also feature a family feud of sorts as Kyllos’s daugh-ter will be competing with the Smokin’ Babes squad, a team to be reckoned with, accord-ing to Kyllo.

Needless to say, Kyllo is predicting vic-tory for his Smoke ‘n’ Bones crew.

“This year it’s mine — mine for [the] tak-ing,” he said.

Blair said the main reason for staging what will become an annual event is to raise money charity.

After this year’s inaugural festival, the

Kamloops Daybreak

Rotary Club’s goal is to raise $100,000 every Ribfest.

This year, the club plans to allocate prof-its to various youth programs and charities throughout the city.

Once funds have been counted, charities can apply for funding, Blair said, and Rotary will undergo a selection process.

“It’s going to be a large fundraiser and all the proceeds will stay in the community,’ said Blair, noting Ribfests in Ontario have gained massive popularity and

have proved to be great community events.

Ontario Rotary groups have given their Kamloops counterpart advice on the festival.

“It seems like an event that would be popular with our city and the people here,” Blair said.

Volunteers are still

needed for Ribfest. More information on volunteering is located on the Ribfest website at kamloopsribfest.com.

RIBFEST 2012Admission to the inaugural Kamloops Ribfest is free.

The event takes place:• Friday, Aug. 9

(2 p.m. to 9 p.m.)• Saturday, Aug. 10(11 a.m. to 9 p.m.)• Sunday, Aug. 11

(11 a.m. to 9 p.m.)

Dutchie Rutledge-Mathison’s acrylic on canvas exhibit, Storytelling Using Three Distinct Themes, opens today (July 31) at the Wilson House Gallery, 115 Tranquille Rd., and remains on display until Sept. 5.

Rutledge-Mathison was born in 1938 in a log cabin along the southern shores of Lesser Slave Lake in Alberta.

The stark loneliness of this vast land is sown in her work as she paints with a definite stroke of pure color. To Rutledge-Mathison, the North is not a blend or shade. Like its people, northern colours are bold and true.

Rutledge-Mathison, a Maple Ridge-based artist whose works are signed simply “dutchie,” has devel-oped an international following with her vibrant repre-sentations of northern aboriginal culture.

Rutledge-Mathison has painted for 11 years and success was a huge surprise for her. She has sold more than 100 pieces, with the highest price received being $9,700.

Wilson House gallery house hours are 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays to Fridays.

Storytelling using three distinct themes

at the galleries

Wayne Broomfield’s oil/acrylic exhibit, A Love for the Land, is at The Old Courthouse main gallery, 7 Seymour St., from Aug. 2 to Aug. 25.

Says Broomfield: “I began to take an interest in art at about eight years old. I have a background in graphic art and design, but am self-taught in fine arts. I never had any desire to paint anything but landscapes. Other than the southwest area of the U.S., I have never had any desire to paint anything but the Canadian landscapes. I knew at an early age I would paint Canada on canvas, coast to coast.”

“I like to finish them in the field, but sometimes will have to tweak a value at home to get the painting to read right. Lighting outdoors sometimes competes with living-room lighting; thus the changes.”

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays to Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

City of Sparks on fi reBy Dale Bass


While Ben Bermiller was likely thrilled to graduate in June, three other young men were just as delighted.

They would be the other members of City of Sparks and, now that school is in the past, the band can focus on rehearsals and touring, said Dan Redekop.

Bermiller and Redekop have come a long way from their meeting in April 2011, when Bermiller won a singing compe-tition at the Quaaout Lodge, where Redekop works.

Since then, the pair has added Shawn Edwards on drums and Jesse Bernardin on bass — both from Salmon Arm — and have ramped up their

performances.There are two

upcoming — one at the Dirty Jersey on July 31, where the band will share the bill with Counter Culprits and Handsome Distraction, and another one at the lodge on Aug. 10.

The latter night will be all about City of Sparks.

Redekop said the

band plans on doing two one-hour sets of its own compositions.

“We’ve got 30 songs we can play at any time,” Redekop said.

He and Bermiller share the bulk of the songwriting — Bermiller on lyrics and Redekop working on riffs — and then the band gets together to create the final product.

“Sometimes, when Ben brings us a song, by the time we’re done, it doesn’t sound a thing like it did at first,” Redekop said.

City of Sparks has five songs recorded for an anticipated release and plenty more in the creative stage.

A goal is to even-tually try to get into the Peak Performance music competition that sees the winning per-former receive career-development assistance — and about $100,000.

The band must wait, though — par-ticipants must be 19 and Bermiller’s still got a year to go.

Doors open for the Quaaout Lodge show at 7 p.m.

Admission is $10.Redekop said there

will be a barbecue to feed the crowd.

City of Sparks, which features Kamloops singer-songwriter Ben Bermiller (second from right), is ramping up its musical aspirations now that the Beattie School of the Arts student has graduated.

Fight or Flight for Handsome DistractionVictoria rock band

Handsome Distraction will headline a three-band show at the Dirty Jersey, 1200 Eighth St., on Tuesday, July 31, as part of its Fight or Flight Canadian tour.

The four-piece rock band took the steady approach since breaking the scene in 2009.

Handsome Distraction

earned a nomination for Best Live Ban at the 2012 Vancouver Island Music Awards.

Devin Perfect sings with passion and power while blaz-ing his two-step around the stage, Chris Weaver dances his fingers over the bass’ fretboard, while Joey Arthur sticks leads in your head like a well-placed catch phrase,

all being held up by Kyle White’s robust nerve pulsing rhythms.

Tuesday’s show starts at 7 p.m. and cover is $7.

Opening for Handsome Distraction are City of Sparks and the Counter Culprits.

Acoustic music will be the focus when Shawn McLeod (left) and Rob Wiggins re-open Bailey’s Pub on Eighth Street. With renovations now underway, McLeod says they hope to be open by mid-August. Dave Eagles/KTW

Bailey’s set to re-openBy Dale Bass


Shawn McLeod can remember wandering into Bailey’s Pub and, most times, he’d have trouble finding a place to sit.

It was a popular place, McLeod said — and he and business partner Rob Wiggins hope that atmosphere returns when the pair re-opens the venue at 1050 Eighth St. next month.

McLeod, formerly with Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse, said little will be changed inside.

“It was a good place before so why would we change some-thing good?’ he said. Wiggins, former owner of Sonic Sound, agreed.

Other than a bit of new paint, a new bar and some booths, the interior will remain much as it was when Michael Eakin owned it.

The pub closed in November, 2010, more than four years after Eakin died.

McLeod, a certi-fied chef, plans to take over kitchen duties and Wiggins — whose base-ment, McLeod said, has more musical gear in it

than many music shops — will handle the other details or running a pub.

The menu will be “the kind of food mom might cook, whole-some family food, good home-cooked food,” McLeod said.

“Nothing fancy.”The pair wants to

support the local music scene — something McLeod did when he handled bookings at the Pogue — and will likely focus on acous-tic performers on the weekend.

That doesn’t mean he’ll say no to Keith Whiteley, for example, if the lead of D.O.A.

calls, McLeod said.Music is planned

for Friday or Saturday nights.

The goal is top have an opening celebra-tion on Saturday, Aug. 11, for those who have signed up on the pub’s Facebook page, with an official opening coming later.

Until then, the men are at the pub daily, pitching in to restore the interior, get the kitchen up and running and start to stock the cupboards and coolers.

“This is my dream job,” McLeod said. “If Kamloops supports us, it will be great.”

AUTOK A M L O O P S THIS WEEK

IS THERE A MORE DISTINCTIVE CAR ON THE road than the Volkswagen Beetle?

Even the redesigned 2012 Beetle is every bit as identifiable as the iconic

Beetles of the 1960s and 1970s. This time around, though, designers set

out to give the third-generation model a more masculine look in an attempt to overcome the “chick-car” reputation the new Beetle had developed during its run from 1998 to 2010.

It appears they succeeded, based on the number of positive comments I got from both men and women during a recent week with a very attractive 2012 Reef Blue Metallic Sportline Beetle.

Though not the volume leader that the original Bug was for Volkswagen, when it sold more than 21-million copies between 1938 and 2003, the Beetle continues to sell in solid numbers here in Canada,

with 1,230 units delivered through the first six months of the calendar year.

As colleague Jim Robinson noted during his First Drive story on the 2012 VW Beetle, “updated versions of iconic cars not only have to look similar to the original, but the spirit of the car has to be there, too. So, in bringing out the 2012 Beetle, two major issues had to be addressed — the look and the image.”

This new Beetle looks more planted to the ground and is longer, wider and shorter than the previous model.

Comfort and stowage issues have been addressed so that now the back seat is much more user-friendly, with a decent amount of headroom. Ingress and egress is still a bit dif-ficult, however, due to the coupe design.

Meanwhile, the trunk now has cargo space of 426 litres, jumping to 850 litres with the 50/50 split/fold rear seats down.

As far as image is concerned, the exterior design has a more masculine look and the little vase and plastic flower affixed to the dash in the previous generation is now part of Volkswagen history.

My Sportline-trim tester came with 200 hp 2.0-litre tur-bocharged four-cylinder engine, linked to a six-speed dual clutch (DSG) automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The Comfortline and Highline models get a 2.5-litre inline five-cylinder engine (170 hp, 177 lb/ft of torque).

Standard on the Comfortline and Highline is a five-speed manual transmission with a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic and Sport Mode optional.

Prices start at $21,975 for the Comfortline manual and $24,225 for the Highline manual ($25,625 for the Highline automatic). The Sportline is $29,025 for the manual and $30,425 for the DSG automatic. Freight and PDI add $1,365.

MORE TRUCK OWNERS ARE SWITCHING TO RAM.≠AND THE REASONS KEEP ADDING UP.


Limited edi-tion Premiere and Premiere+ models are also available during the 2012 launch year.

A total of 600 of these will be offered, priced at $24,475 and $26,575 respectively. The Premiere models come only with the automatic transmission.

My tester also had the $1,290 technol-ogy package, which includes a 400-watt Fender premium audio system and a touch-screen navigation system.

The $675 connec-tivity package fea-tures a media device interface with iPad and BlueTooth mobile phone connectivity.

All in, the car priced out at $32,390 plus taxes.

The Sportline, as the name suggests, has a sporty look with 18-inch alloy wheels covering bright red brake calipers. This model also boasts a sport suspension,

eight-way driver and six-way pas-senger manual sport seats, leather seats (heated up front), dual exhaust, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear spoiler and alloy sport pedals.

With the same engine that powers the VW GTI, the Turbo Beetle is a hotter per-former than ever before thanks in part to the race-inspired DSG transmission, which does its job well.

The 207 lb/ft of torque reaches its peak at just 1,750 rpm, meaning the Beetle jumps to life in a big hurry.

As with most front-drive, turbocharged

vehicles, a bit of turbo lag and torque steer is evident, but the added performance of the turbocharger makes it all worthwhile for the driving enthusiast.

Using the paddle shifters also adds a touch of sportiness one wouldn’t expect in a Beetle, although the body roll felt on hard cornering lets you know you’re in a Beetle rather than a GTI.

Nevertheless, this is a level of handling never before seen on a Beetle.

In the driver’s seat, you’re greeted with an easy-to-grip, sporty, leather-wrapped steer-ing wheel with a flat

bottom and well-bol-stered seats that keep you firmly planted on tight corners.

My Sportline tes-ter had a carbon fibre look on the front of the dash, while other models get body-coloured faceplates, similar to current Fiat 500s.

So while the new-generation Beetle stays true to its roots with much the same iconic design, it is a thoroughly mod-ern version that still makes you smile but provides driving dynamics the originals couldn’t come close to matching.

The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were

aware of the signifi cant benefi ts of pet-friendly

housing, they would be more inclined to

offer it.One of the biggest

direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more

for housing.People with pets

also stay longer – an average of 46 months,

compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time

advertising for, fi nding and screening new reliable tenants.

If you think serious injuries just “happen,” have a word with yourself.Because they don’t. Often,

they’re the direct result of choices we make—or choices we don’t make.

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.

We want to get you thinking about risk and consequences.

Every day, more than 1,100 British Columbians are injured seriously enough by predictable and preventable injuries to

require medical attention. Of these, four die, 90 are hospi-talized and some 27 are left par-tially or totally disabled.

These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care sys-tem: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of vic-tims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our provincial budget.

—It’s time for this to change—

Who we are Preventable is a group of compa-nies, organizations and individ-uals that have come together to address this ongoing tragedy, and the incredible physical, emotional and financial toll it takes on our province.

We are a registered non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors that repre-sents organizations including TELUS, Pacific Blue Cross, London Drugs, Insurance Bureau of Canada, BCAA Road Safety Foundation, Justice Institute of BC, WorkSafeBC and the BC Ministry of Labour. Our work is made possible through the financial and in-kind support of over 80 other companies and organizations.

Our goal is simple: to change the way British Columbians think about preventable inju-ries. By raising awareness, starting dialogue, and trans-forming social attitudes, we want to significantly reduce both the number and severity of preventable injuries in BC.

What we’re doingWe’ve invested considerable resources to develop a province-wide, multi-year strategy. Guided by research and best practices, we’ve developed an approach that we hope will help British Columbians connect the dots between their current attitudes and their current behaviour; between their understanding of the inherent risks and the burden of preventable injuries in the province.

By staging provocative, unex-pected events in provocative, unexpected places, we want to cut through the noise and get British Columbians thinking about risk and consequences. We want to challenge the idea that serious injuries only hap-pen to “other people.” We want

to speak to that little part of you—that little voice inside your head—that knows that some-times, bad things do happen.

We need your help

The individuals, corporations and organizations that have joined our community share a concern about this growing epi-demic. They also share a convic-tion that the situation can and must change.

We invite all British Columbians to join Preventable and work with to us create a culture where we all look out for each other. Together we can reduce the bur-den of preventable injuries in BC. Join us. Visit preventable.ca.

ADVERTORIAL


WILLIAM HYATT MILLER

On July 24, 2012 William (Bill) Miller passed away with his family by his side.

William Hyatt Miller was born in Rossland, BC on Feb. 20, 1916. His parents were William Stewart Miller and Evelyn Miller. He and his family came to Princeton in 1919. Bill had 4 sisters, Jean Dunsmore/Broomfi eld (deceased), May Savage (deceased) Louise Mullin (deceased) and Beth Norman (Jim Sr.) and 2 brothers Wilfred (died in infancy) and Bob (deceased). Bill was married to his fi rst wife, Nadine, in 1940. She died in 1970. They had 3 children: Karen (Craig), Mary-Lou and Bill Jr. (Patsy). He married his second wife Connie in 1976. He had 2 step children, Leda Leander and Steven Leander. Bill had 15 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren. He will also be sadly missed by his many nieces and nephews who live throughout BC and Alberta and one in

South America and his many great nieces and nephews and great great nieces and nephews.

During the early depression years Bill worked on farms and for West Kootenay Power on power line construction. He spent 43 years in the mining industry mainly for Granby and associate companies at Allenby, Copper Mountain, Granisle (Plant Superintendent), Phoenix Copper (Manager), and Vancouver. He was also closely associated with Western Nickel, Jedway Iron Ore and Granduc. While in Vancouver he worked on many feasibility studies and spent time as manager of a mine in Southeast Africa. Late in 1979 Granby was sold to Noranda so he retired and moved back to Princeton.

He has travelled extensively over the world. He said recently: “my health and happiness over the last 36 years is mainly due to my lovely and loving wife, Connie, and I have had a good life and have been extremely proud of all my family and my extended family”.

He loved the great outdoors, loved to fi sh and could be seen frequently at MacKenzie Lake and at many of the streams, lakes and rivers in the Princeton area.

He will be sadly missed by all of his large family and his many many friends.

Condolences may be directed to the family throughwww.providencefuneralhomes.com

CASEYIt is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ethel Louise Casey on July 20, 2012 in Kamloops at the age of 86 years.

She was born in Pritchard on July 4, 1926 and spent her youth there. The rest of it traveling to different cities throughout B.C. She would fi nally settle here in Kamloops in the early 60’s. Here she met her future husband William Simon Casey and together they started a family.

Survived by her six kids and her one brother, she will also be fondly remembered by grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and all of the children whose lives she touched as their “daycare Gramma”.

Always remembered with love in her heart, a joke to tell and a smile on her face.

Do Not Go GentleInto That Good Night

DYLAN THOMAS

Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightening they

Do not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in ight,And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,Curse, bless, me now with your erce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
