Attorney General Shirley Bond was at Thompson Rivers University on Monday, Oct. 22, to announce a plan to try to speed up the pace of justice in the province.

Speeding up justice — without new cash?

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. government is hoping a new plan can speed up the pace of justice in the province without requiring it to find new funding for the courts.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond was at Thompson Rivers University on Monday, Oct. 22, to announce a 10-step plan which she said should help modernize the province’s courts and decrease case backlog.

The report comes two months after an independent review of

the provincial courts called for a speedier, more transparent justice system.

Bond told media the plan doesn’t include any new funding commitments for the courts or concrete plans to increase the number of judges in the province.

Instead, she said government wants to get a better handle on what’s happening in the courts right now.

While she acknowledge there is an issue of speed in the justice system, Bond said the province doesn’t know, for instance, how long it’s actually taking an aver-

age criminal case to go through the courts.

“We don’t know,” she said.

“In B.C. today, we have an unbelievable lack of ability to measure the system because we don’t have the data.”

The report also calls for an embrace of new technologies, better court scheduling and the creation of a new Justice and Public Safety Council, which will be tasked with creating an annual set of goals for the justice system and reporting on its performance to date.

The council will also host yearly justices summits, the first

of which is tentatively set for March 2013.

Bond said she’s not ruling out the possibility of adding more funding to the justice system at a later date, but said the government needs to ask questions about how the system is working first — which might allow it to reduce costs.

“For decades I think the answer has always been, ‘Just put more money in’ and it certainly hasn’t solved the backlog issue today,” she said.

“We have a declining crime rate and we have fewer cases going into the court room.

“So, the question is — why are we having backlogs?”

The report is the first of two, the second of which is due to be released in mid-January, Bond said.

The second portion of plan will include public input from the B.C Policing Plan and findings from the Mission Women Commission of Inquiry.

Bond said she hopes to introduce legislation needed to kick start some elements of the plan, including the new council, when the next legislative session begins in 2013, just months before the May election.

Second-degree murder charge laid

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops woman is dead and a man is in custody after a stabbing on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve on Saturday night (Oct. 20).

Investigators believe the incident, which took place in a home in the 600-block of East Shuswap Road, was a case of domestic violence turned deadly.

Deborah Anne Joseph, 48, was found dead in the home shortly after 9 p.m. Initial reports indicated she had been stabbed, but police won’t confirm a cause of death.

Her common-law husband, 48-yearold Gerald Raymond Peters, was arrested at the scene and remains in custody facing a charge of second-degree murder.

RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said police are familiar with the couple.

“The Kamloops RCMP rural detachment has in the past attended this particular residence involving this couple in regard to domestic-violence issues,” he said.

Court documents show Peters has a history of domestic violence.

Earlier this month,

Thanks to McCleaners, Kamloops This Week, The Salvation Army, Saint Andrews Church, Lighthouse Christian Fellowship, and The River.

COATS ARE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF AGE, AND CAN BE PICKED UP AT: An RCMP cruiser remains at the scene of Kamloops’ third murder of the year, which happened Saturday night (Oct. 20) at 625 East Shuswap Rd. Andrea Klassen/KTW

he was sentenced to an 18-month probation term after pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm. That charge dated back to an incident on July 2, 2011 involving a girlfriend.

In June 2008, he served two weeks in jail after breaching the terms of his probation stemming from a previous assault conviction.

Mounties are staying tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding Joseph’s death.

Moskaluk refused to answer questions about what was happening in the home prior to the slaying, but did hint that there may have been other people present at the time.

“This is the type of investigation where a small group of people might have information,” he said.

“So, we want to protect that information so that it will hold

up in court.”

The home at 625 East Shuswap Rd. remained behind police tape on Monday, Oct. 22, as investigators attempted to piece together what happened to Joseph.

“They are making progress in the investigation,” Moskaluk said.

“In a situation like this, we do want to be

very methodical. We certainly do not want to miss any evidence at all.”

Joseph’s death is Kamloops’ third murder of 2012.

Peters, who was remanded in custody by a justice of the peace on Sunday, Oct. 21, is expected to make his first court appearance later this week.

Surgical tools focus of new RIH department Royal Inland Hospital has a new $10.75-million medical device reprocessing department (MDR) which includes a major renovation and state-ofthe-art equipment.

The department comes two years after contaminated operating tools at the hospital led to surgery delays and an RCMP investigation that did not result in charges.

The Thompson Regional Hospital District funded 40 per cent of the total project cost, with the remaining capital expense coming from the province.

The medical device reprocessing area is responsible for the cleaning and sterilization of medical equipment and surgical tools.

In 2010, the Interior Health Authority hired an external consultant to conduct a review of the unit following discovery of the contaminated surgical tools.

The ensuing report made several recommendations, the most significant being unit redesign and renovation and the purchase of new equipment.

This major project was approached in phases to allow surgical procedures to continue uninterrupted at the hospital.

The first phase,

A new and improved medical device reprocessing (MDR) department at Royal Inland Hospital is now open, part of a $10.75-million overhaul to the unit, which includes a major renovation and state-of-the-art equipment. On hand to celebrate the event were, from left, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, RIH health-services administrator Marg Brown, Interior Health Authority board director David Gillespie, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, RIH MDR co-ordinator Bechy Geeson and RIH health service director Denise Chartrand leading a tour of the facility. Dave Eagles/KTW

which consisted of the redesign and expansion of the MDR unit and installation of new sterilization equipment, is now finished.

With the new area complete, a new dedicated elevator is being installed for delivery of surgical tools between operating rooms and the unit.

Renovations to the supply room and imple-

mentation of a new case cart delivery system will also be done.

This second phase will be complete by early 2013.

“The MDR redevelopment provides our technicians the tools and space they need to do the best job possible,” said IHA board chairman Norman Embree.

“Improving the MDR is about ensuring

safe, quality care for our patients and providing the best environment possible for our staff,” More than 11,000 surgical tools and pieces of medical equipment are cleaned, sterilized, packaged and delivered each month.

The department supports RIH and health centres in Merritt and Chase.

“We are very pleased to be celebrating the completion of this redevelopment, especially as it supports not only RIH, but the whole region,” said Peter Milobar, Thompson Regional Hospital District chairman and Kamloops mayor.

“RIH is an important referral centre and, of course, there are neighbouring community hospitals which rely on the sterilization and cleaning services of this department as well,” Design services were completed by Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd., while construction management has been provided by Delnor Construction Ltd.

Calling all Kin

Dial-a-dope disconnected

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties said they have delivered a major blow to the Tournament Capital’s drug trade, busting what they call “an extremely sophisticated” diala-dope operation being run by a Lower Mainland criminal gang.

RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse said local drug investigators were aided by federal resources in an eight-month operation — dubbed Project E-Nocturnal — culminating in five search warrants executed in Kamloops last week.

The result was on display for media at a press conference on Thursday, Oct. 18, including 1.3 kilograms of cocaine, $142,000 in cash, three firearms, ammunition, three vehicles, a cocaine press and other drug paraphernalia.

Nine people were arrested during the raids, Lacasse said, but all have since been released “on strict conditions.”

The eight men and one woman, ranging in age from 20 to 40, are expected to be formally charged in the coming weeks.

“This drug operation effectively shut down a major supplier of cocaine to Kamloops,” Lacasse said, noting the investigation included the use of undercover officers and wiretaps for phone calls and text messages.

“This was extremely sophisticated. They ran this like an actual business. They had people working shift work, they had a reporting structure, they had expense claims they were giving back to their leader.”

Usually, Lacasse said, dial-a-dope operations supply drugs to low-income addicts.

This one was apparently different.

Lacasse said most of the clients were from a “well-established, employed cross-section of the community” — people who could

afford a $1,000 per month cocaine habit.

“We’re talking about people in the community that do have jobs, that do have families,” he said.

Lacasse would not say to which Lower Mainland gang the operation was associated.

“We prefer to stay away from that right now,” he said. “But, it’s a well-known gang.”

Among the charges being recommended to federal Crown prosecutors are counts of commission of an offence for a criminal organization — punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

No names were released, but Lacasse said the person suspected of running the dial-a-dope operation is a Kamloops man.

He said the investigation is further evidence of the Kamloops RCMP detachment’s

I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support.

To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In 2007, he declared the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him.

Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline.

It’s worth noting the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration.

The southern section from Cushing, Okla., oil-storage facilities to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA Canadian “tar sands” oil that ecocelebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it.

It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington, D.C., where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011.

At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil-sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically.

Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.”

George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil-sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions.

Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total.

Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent.

“How does the oil-sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedent-

ed?” George asks.

Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar-sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron.

George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bilecancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewya and blamed it on oilsands mining. Headlines blared around the world.

George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years.

Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population.

This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases — there is no cause for alarm.”

Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer.

My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media.

And, I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The attack and the counterpunch. The jab and the thrust. The set-up and the knockout blow.

The winner and the loser.

No, we are not talking about the latest round of MMA bouts.

We are talking about the story that dominated North American media this past week — the U.S. presidential debate.

Even way up here in a foreign country, discussion focused on how President Barack Obama “came out swinging” and “hammered” the Republican challenger, following the previous debate, in which Mitt Romney “battered” a “passive” president, “knocking him back on his heels.”

And, it brought home the biggest flaw in what passes for democracy these days — the idea that it is about winners and losers.

We love debate.

To us, it is an opportunity to present ideas we hope may be useful to others, have those ideas sharpened by outside insights and observations and, perhaps, push them in directions the original proponent may not have considered.

It is the mechanism societies and individuals should be using for learning, education and growth.

Instead, most people tend to use it as a bludgeon to force others into accepting their ideas as the correct ones.

Do you think the words, “That is a good idea, Mr. President. If you combine it with our policy on this, we could come up with something special” will ever come out of Romney’s mouth?

Or something similar from Obama’s?

No, the presidential debate is pitched, staged and analyzed as if it were a heavyweight-title bout.

These boys aren’t playing for consensus or the common good.

They are playing to win.

Instead of being about uniting a country, it becomes about dividing it.

Perhaps someday it will be something we can rise above.

A song for Amanda — and against bullying Editor: I am a 14-year-old girl from Kamloops and I became inspired to do more after I saw Premier Christy Clark at We Day and how she spoke about standing up against bullying.

Well, today I am standing up.

I want to do more and I want Amanda Todd to be remembered every day, not just today.

I want bullies to be reminded frequently and I do not want them to escape her message.

Premier Clark has challenged me to stand up.

I am standing up strong and proud for Amanda and for all those who are bullied.

I will not rest and I will be relentless in my pursuit to carry her message.

The Boomtown Rats wrote and produced an epic song about the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda

Ann Spencer, who fired at children in a school playground at Grover Cleveland elementary in San Diego on Jan. 29, 1979.

That song was written 33 years ago and still remembered today.

I have written and produced a song for the memory of Amanda Todd, which I hope to be played frequently to remind bullies of her tragedy.

My song can be seen on YouTube at http://

www.youtube.com/ watch?v=kn9NaB43C8A. The song is sung from the perspective of what I think Amanda must have felt like and the action of taking her life into her own hand.

It ends with questioning the bullies about how they feel.

I used to live in Maple Ridge and the topic is dear to me as it is my old hometown.

I am very passionate about anti-bullying.

My heart goes out to Amanda’s parents and I want them to know she did not die in vain.

I am truly hoping the song will make people think before they ever bully again.

Why not let Ajax give families a chance in life?

Editor: I can’t wait for Kamloops This Week to be delivered — and it is free.

So little is free these days, so thank you.

I love reading and talking about what is in the news. People will have opinions whether we like it or not — banners that offend some people, dogs barking, kids at play, trains going though town or the proposed Ajax mine.

I recently went on a tour of the land where the Ajax mine would be (or where the mine is since 1880, when copper, gold and iron mineralization were discovered).

The mine area has been an active working cattle ranch and is going to stay that way, even if Ajax received approval.

The mine will open, whether we like it or not. Too much money has been spent to stop something that has been there for many years.

People bought property and built houses in Aberdeen with the knowledge there was a mine just beyond the hill.

Some now want to say their property will be worth less and might not get sold, for they did not know about the mine and would not have bought there had they known.

All kinds of excuses are made.

Whose fault is it that some people did not

do their homework on the area? They can say the mine was not active at the time they bought, but no mine is ever clear on what the future holds.

As an example, look at Afton/ New Gold Mine.

A mine attracts people like bears to honey. Look at Sudbury, Ont. That town was build around the mine, to name one.

Johannesburg, South Africa is built on a mine and there are open mines all across that part of the country. Mines are the riches of a town or country.

We can make something good of this by making sure the roads leading to the mine are built wider and remain in excellent shape. At the moment, it is an patched-up, insufficient road to travel in sunshine, snow or rain. Make sure sound is controlled and dust control is efficient.

Do talk about things that can be made right.

If the Domtar pulp mill is OK to live with, I am sure the mine will be more than OK to live with. Embrace the fact people/companies are putting money into Kamloops.

This is a blue-collar town, after all, and those living here need to work and grow.

A working town is not paradise. We make our own paradise wherever we are.

I love Kamloops and the surrounding towns. Don’t get me wrong, as I am retired, but the majority of people are working to get where we are and we should give them the same chance we had in getting here.

The existing mine on Ajax property is today covered with natural plants and was seeded after use. That blends it into nature again. The mine was filled as much as possible and made safe.

I am sure that, when the time comes to close the mine again, they will do the same and more to preserve that land.

Go to ajaxmine.ca and take a look with an open mind at what they have to show and tell you.

Be fair in your judgment to all and not only for yourself for wishing to sit on your porch and criticize others who still have to make a living here in beautiful Kamloops.

We have property in Aberdeen and we live a stone’s throw from a working mine.

And, yes, I do sit on my porch and think of young families that have to make a living in this pressure-filled world.

If this mine can give 400-plus families a chance to work there, why would anybody add their name to a list that does not want them to get a chance in life?

More homeless counted

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The sun was still in bed, but the back parking lot at the ASK Wellness Centre in North Kamloops was swarming with activity.

This year’s annual homeless count began on Thursday, Oct. 18, with a shelter count.

The report will be released in November, but Salter said he expects it will show between 60 and 75 people are homeless in Kamloops.

That would be up from 2011’s count of 45 people, but still down from previous years, when about 100 people were identified. “We’ve been questioned about whether we found them all or not [during the last count], so this year will kind of show us whether we missed some or not,�

Salter said.

But, on Friday, it was time for the legwork as volunteers fanned out across the city with clipboards, surveys and backpacks filled with clean socks, deodorant and other personal supplies.

In a dispatch centre at the back of the building, outreach worker Ken Salter was orienting volunteer teams, blacking off areas of a city map as each was assigned.

His first goal: Get the riverbanks covered. “The riverbanks are the most popular for people who camp

out, but there’s other places like Peterson Creek Park. There’s guys that don’t have camps. They just sleep in the downtown,� he said. “So, any businesses that have cardboard out behind their business — cardboard is a homeless person’s mattress or roof. They go everywhere and anywhere and they move around.�

On the map, red thumbtacks marked out homeless camps Salter had visited in the past few days — but, he said, those locations could be empty by the time volunteers hit the banks of the Thompson River. “They’re not necessarily there today because they move,� he said. “Because if they don’t, somebody will complain to bylaw, bylaw will come down and make them move anyway. They’ll camp for a couple nights in one spot and then move down the beach a couple of hundred yards.�

Joining this year’s volunteers was a group of Thompson Rivers University students who Salter assigned to the alleyways between Fortune Drive and Tranquille Road. “I haven’t seen that many homeless people in Kamloops,� said Kaitlin, a second-year nursing student. “So, I wanted to get out there and find out where they live and if I can help.�

Got Food?

Petland does...

An hour later, the area proved largely empty, save for a few dog walkers.

That’s not uncommon, Salter said. “But, just because there’s nobody there today, it doesn’t mean there won’t be somebody there tomorrow. “And, anywhere there’s a green space or abandoned vehicle to climb in, just anywhere.�

This year’s count is the first since 2005 in which a full-scale report will be compiled based on the data collected.

It’s also the first time the count is being done using criteria set out by the province in an attempt to standardize counts across B.C. While the count gives groups in the city numbers to point to when they’re lobbying for funding, Salter said it’s more important as an outreach activity for the volunteers and the homeless community. “I think a lot of people that aren’t in this business would be surprised to hear that there’s 60 people living outside in Kamloops,� he said. “People don’t know that.�

Those who are counted, meanwhile, get to see others in the city trying to do something to alleviate their problems. “It’s an acknowledgement to them that we know that they’re out there and they’re part of our community.�

Double-parking dialogue downtown

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Downtown parking will be the subject of a lot of chatter this week.

One night after the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) hosts its open house on the subject, the Kamloops Voters Society will present a parking discussion forum on Thursday, Oct. 25.

Brad Harrison of the Kamloops Voters Society said the group was approached by a number of business owners and members of the public who wanted to have more say on changes proposed for parking in the downtown core.

Among the options

on the table is a meter rate hike to $1 an hour on most downtown streets and up to $1.50 an hour on Victoria Street — with the extra cash going to fund new parking in the area and better management of existing stock.

Parking meters would also be replaced with credit-card friendly terminals and the 24-hour discount rate on parking tickets would rise to about $10.

The ideas were pitched to the city by the KCBIA and workshopped at city council earlier this summer.

Kamloops Voters Society member Chris Ortner said he recognizes the association put a lot of volunteer work into its plan, “but it’s from

the point of view of the downtown business association.

“No one stopped to ask the public or the seniors or the churches or the social agencies or anybody like that what they want to see.”

“This began with people asking the individual directors of the society when they were going to get to say their two bits’ worth, and the fact is they might not have if someone hadn’t

organized something.”

The forum will begin with a panel discussion including, among others, city CAO David Trawin, community safety and enforcement manager Jon Wilson, Peter Pietramala of the KCBIA, Movie Mart owner Denis Walsh and developer Casey Van Dongen.

After the panel offers some background on the issue, “then it’s basically an open floor for people to either a) give sugges-

tions or b) ask questions,” Harrison said.

“There might be someone with some real good ideas out there that we’re missing.”

The session will run on Thursday, Oct. 25, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour St. The KCBIA’s parking open house takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 24, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at Caffe Motivo, 229 Victoria St.

Protesters denounce pipeline expansion

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

More than 2,000 protesters gathered at the B.C. legislature on Monday, Oct. 22, some promising to provoke arrests as well as criticizing proposed heavy-oil pipelines from Alberta to the B.C. coast.

Organizers offered training in civil-disobedience techniques to the more than 1,000 people who signed up for the protest, under the banner of Defend Our Coast.

Sponsored by Greenpeace and the Council of Canadians, the coalition includes unions, aboriginal lead-

ers and environmental organizations.

Victoria police were out in force to back up legislature security, who locked the buildings down and turned away visitors for the day.

The protest focused on two proposed projects, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway

Kamloops pipeline protest planned Opponents of pipeline proposals for B.C. will rally in front of the Kamloops office of Environment Minister Terry Lake on Wednesday, Oct. 24.

The 3:30 p.m. protest will be part of a provincewide Defend Our Coast day of action, which will feature protests at MLA offices across B.C. Lake is also Liberal MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson. His office is at 618-B Tranquille Rd. The Kamloops rally will be followed by a forum as part of the Council of Canadians No Pipelines, No Tankers speaking tour to oppose three proposed pipeline projects — including an expansion plan that would go

through the Tournament Capital.

The forum will take place at 7 p.m. in room CT200 of the Clock Tower Building at Thompson Rivers University.

Speakers will include Barlow, Jim Cooperman of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society, Sven Biggs of Tanker Free BC and Janice Billy, Secwepemc activist and educator, or Kanahus Pelkey of the Secwepemc Nation Youth Network.

The tour is being held to oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway, Pacific Trails and Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline proposals, the latter of which would see an existing route twinned through some of Kamloops.

pipeline from northern Alberta to Kitimat and the pending application by Kinder Morgan to twin its oil pipeline that has been carrying Alberta oil to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years.

Among the speakers was David Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.

He said his union is “diametrically opposed” to pipeline expansion, despite the fact it represents employees at the Chevron refinery in Burnaby that is supplied by the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from Alberta.

The new proposals are “job killers” because more diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands will be shipped out raw, either from Burnaby or Kitimat, Coles said.

Protesters ringed the crowd with sections of

black banner described as being the length of an oil tanker, and staked it to the legislature lawn.

That is technically a violation of legislature rules, which are aimed at preventing people from setting up tents and other structures on the lawn.

Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations group on B.C.’s North Coast, said the protest is designed to show Prime Minister

Stephen Harper and Premier Christy Clark people are prepared to “stand in front of the bulldozers” to stop the projects.

Other speakers included federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May and B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert.

Maude Barlow, national chair of the Council of Canadians, called for opposition to

gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas exports from norhern B.C. as well.

Supporters of the oil sands protest include Simon Fraser University professor Mark Jaccard, former United Nations ambassador Stephen Lewis and U.S. environmentalist Bill McKibben, a leading campaigner for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

And now when she travels, she simply locks up and goes knowing her things (including her delicates) are safe and secure.

Slick roads lead to big crash POLICE BEAT

Police find missing pedestrian An 80-year-old man from China visiting family in Kamloops got more than he bargained for when he went out for a leisurely stroll on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Learned said the man, who speaks no English and had no money, left his relatives’ West Columbia Street house early Saturday for his daily walk.

When family members woke up at 8 a.m. and noticed he wasn’t there, they called police.

Just before noon, an officer in the area of Aberdeen Drive and Hillside Way found the man — still walking.

His family was notified and relatives went to pick him up.

“The officers on duty were impressed with the octogenarian’s fitness level, noting that he had covered a significant distance during his outing, including the trek up the Pacific Way hill,” Learned said.

Hunter located — cold but safe A Surrey man was lucky to escape serious injury after spending a cold and wet night in the bush after becoming separated from his hunting group near Cache Creek on the weekend.

The man, in his 20s, had been last seen by his four partners just before dark on Friday, Oct. 19.

Early the following morning, Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSAR) set off to locate him, alongside members of the Aschroft RCMP and a Kamloops RCMP dog unit.

At about 8:30 a.m., Kamloops RCMP dog Zak located the missing hunter about 15 kilometres north of Cache Creek in the Hat Creek area, on a logging road a few hundred metres west of Highway 97.

According to KSAR search manager Allan Hobler, the man was “ill-prepared” to spend a night in the bush — wearing a fleece top, pants and hiking boots.

Hobler said the incident should serve as a reminder to dress

Fire ban lifted just in time for Halloween The ban on open burning in the Kamloops area in place since June 6 has been lifted early — thanks to some help from Mother Nature.

As of noon on Monday, Oct. 22, it is once again legal to burn materials larger than a half-metre by a half-metre, burn stubble or grass and use fireworks or burning barrels.

The ban is routinely imposed by the Ministry of Forests each summer in the Kamloops region to help prevent wildfires.

This year’s ban was slated to remain in place until Halloween, but cool and wet weather has sped up the process.

Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said people still need to be cautious with fires, and be especially mindful of wind conditions and the flames’ proximity to structures.

What is W C Critical Illness ce? e?

Insurance?

Woman survives suicide attempt in cell A woman was rushed to hospital on Thursday, Oct. 18, after apparently attempting suicide in the drunk tank at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment.

The woman, whose name and age are not being released, was in custody after being picked up by police for public intoxication and causing a disturbance.

At about 11:30 p.m., paramedics were called to the RCMP cellblock for a report of a prisoner in cardiac arrest.

“It was a female prisoner who had tied a piece of clothing around her neck and attempted to choke herself,” Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned told KTW. “She was released from our custody into medical care.”

She is expected to make a full recovery.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse said detachment brass looks at every serious incident and attempts to improve operations.

“We’re constantly reviewing everything we do,” he said. “We do administrative reviews on everything that happens internally, and we try to learn from everything that takes place.”

for the elements and pack food, water and fire-starting equipment when spending time outdoors.

“

The first slick roads of the year were likely to blame for a 10-car collision on the Overlanders Bridge on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Just after 1:30 p.m., emergency crews were called to the southbound lanes of the bridge for the chainreaction wreck.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the crash started when a driver stopped for an unrelated fender bender at the south end of the bridge.

“That started a chain of successive rear-end collisions, which ultimately sent four people to hospital with minor injuries,” he said.

All of the patients taken to hospital were treated and released.

Four of the 10 cars involved were not drivable.

Learned said the crash should serve as a reminder to drivers to slow down as temperatures continue to drop.

“In addition to reducing speed, extra distance must be left between vehicles to allow for the longer stopping distance required on wet or slippery surfaces,” he said.

Simply put, it is insurance that pays out a lump sum, tax-free payment if you are diagnosed with a Critical Illness.There is more than 25 critical illness covered (cancer, heart attack, stroke, etc.)

The statistics reveal the fact that more and more Canadians, at even younger ages, will be confronted by a critical illness in their lifetime.

Fortunately, statistics also show that progress in medical science and improvements in our lifestyle have helped people to survive these illnesses, and to live longer.

“I am 33 years old now and am happily living my life out on Vancouver Island and I owe it all to you and your company.

You saved my life and I can never re-pay what you have done for me.”

Dear Strauss Herb Company, I had cancer when I was 10 years old and went through 2 years of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. One of the drugs they used was called adriamycin. The adriamycin is very hard on your heart and ten years later I went from a normal 20 years old young man to not being able to physically lift myself off the couch. Just existing was like running a marathon and I was dying. After 4 months in the hospital and a few trips to the critical care unit for crashing I had enough knowledge to at least keep myself stable. One day the doctor came in and told me that they had found a node on my lung and did a biopsy and found another cancerous growth. I was now diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure and lung cancer. Because of the lung cancer I was taken off of the heart transplant list and because of the heart condition I wouldn’t survive another round of chemotherapy. I was sent home with a prescription for my heart meds and a six month timeline as to how long I was going to live. They sent me home so I would be in familiar surroundings when my ¿nal breath was taken.

Being as that I was only 20 years old, I had no intention of dying. One day I wandered into a health food store in my hometown and explained my story to the woman working. After a few tears and a heartfelt hug from her she showed me Strauss Heartdrops. I began as directed and continued to increase my dosage until I was taking 2.5ml/3x a day. After 6 months I began to be able to go for walks without seeing stars. The feeling like someone was standing on my chest started to subside. I remember the ¿rst time I fell asleep on my back - it was a small miracle because before it had felt like I was drowning.

I reported to my cardiologist appointments as ordered and was stunned as I watched my improvement not only on a personal level but in a controlled environment using the best in modern equipment. I am 33 years old now and am happily living my life out on Vancouver Island and I owe it all to you and your company. You saved my life and I can never re-pay what you have done for me. There is so much more to this story but I just wanted to give you the gist of it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Time needed to review Lindsay psychiatric report

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An Edmonton man who in August admitted in a Kamloops courtroom to murdering his girlfriend and attacking an undercover police officer before stabbing his prison cellmate twice in the eye won’t know until at least next month if he will be held criminally responsible for his B.C. crimes.

Mark Lindsay stood trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on charges he stabbed an undercover RCMP officer in Barriere during an elaborate Mr. Big sting and that he attacked his Kamloops

Regional Correctional Centre cellmate during a game of Scrabble a month later.

The 25-year-old, the son of Edmonton’s former police chief, claimed both victims were part of a group of serial killers trying to kill him.

Lindsay claimed in court his girlfriend was also part of the group trying to kill him.

In court, Lindsay maintained his sanity however, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley ordered a 30-day psychiatric evaluation.

If the doctor’s report comes back saying Lindsay does suffer from a mental disorder, Dley could find him not crimi-

nally responsible for the stabbings of the undercover Mountie and the KRCC cellmate.

On Friday, Oct.19, Lindsay was again led into a Kamloops courtroom — in shackles and handcuffs, escorted by three sheriffs — and told he will have to wait a bit longer.

Burrows told court he received the psychiatric report just before the hearing.

“I think both sides are going to need some time to review the report and decide how to proceed,” he said.

Dley agreed, ordering the matter be put over to Nov. 5 to fix a date for a hearing.

ROBERT LLOYD TINDALL April 17, 1947 – October 6, 2012 It is with great sadness that we lost an amazing husband and the best father to cancer Oct. 6, 2012. He died in his wife’s arms with his sons and family by his side.

Robbie worked at Ponderosa Lodge for 35 years. After retirement he worked with his buddy Uly. Robbie’s passion was “fishing” with his best fishing pals Dan, Gerry and Uly. A highlight of his life was the helicopter ride and fishing trip at copper mines with his sons.

Appreciation also to Chris and staff at Pratt’s Pharmacy, to Jim, Graham and staff of Shoppers Drug Mart in Valleyview, to our awesome doctors - Dr. Loland and Dr. Jonat, and staff, to Inspire Health, Dr. Schnurr, and to the staff at Hospice.

Do Not Go Gentle Into 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 Áight, 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 Àerce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

WolfPack women on top entering playoffs With regular-season title in hand, TRU seeks post-season crown The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team will enter the 2012 PACWEST playoffs on a three-game winning streak.

The WolfPack closed out their regular season with a wild 3-2 win over the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Sunday, Oct. 21, and a 1-0 victory over the Capilano Blues.

Both games were played at Hillside Stadium.

Against Vancouver Island, a scoreless first half was replaced by a Wild West shootout in the second half.

Emily Edmundson stood tall in net, while WolfPack goals came from Amanda Barrett, with two, and Marlee Rittinger.

Against Capilano, Blair MacKay scored for TRU. The victories left the WolfPack with a PacWest-best record of 10-2-2 entering the playoffs, which begin on Friday, Oct 26, in Squamish.

TRU, the defending PacWest champion, enters as first seed and will play No. 4 Langara in the opening round.

No. 2 UBCOkanagan will face No.

3 Quest of Squamish in the other semifinal, with the winners meeting for the PacWest title on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m.

Meanwhile, the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team defeated Capilano 2-1 and tied defending PacWest champion Vancouver Island 1-1 on the weekend to finish third in the league and qualify for the playoff tournament this weekend in Squamish.

Oriol Torres and Ashley Raynes scored for TRU in the win over Capilano, while Peter Loncar tallied for the WolfPack in their draw with Vancouver Island.

This coming weekend will be deja vu for the Kamloops side as, being the No. 3 seed with a 7-4-3 record, it will face No. 2 Vancouver Island in the opening round of the post-season on Friday, Oct. 26.

No. 1 Douglas will play No. 4 Kwantlen in the other men’s semifinal, with the title tilt being played on Saturday, Oct. 27.

“We always have had really good battles with them,” WolfPack co-head coach John Antulov said.

“They are a team.

Canada’s best team back home this weekend It’s a great time to be a Kamloops Blazer.

The nation’s No. 1 ranked major-junior hockey team is hosting the Brandon Wheat Kings at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26, at Interior Savings Centre — and there is no lack of reasons to buy a ticket.

JC Lipon, a rightwinger from Regina, leads the WHL in scoring with 13 goals and 32 points.

The 19-year-old was twice this month named the Canadian Hockey League and Western Hockey League player of the week.

Linemate Colin Smith, a 19-year-old centre from Edmonton, is this week’s WHL player of the week after he bagged 10 points, including three goals, in five Blazer road games, all wins over Central Division opponents.

With nine goals

and 28 points, Smith is second only to Lipon in league scoring and one spot up on the line’s left-winger, Tim Bozon, and Blazer forward Brendan Ranford, both of whom are tied for third, with 21 points apiece.

Kamloops goaltender Cole Cheveldave is ranked second-best in the WHL, with a 2.06 goalsagainst average and a 9.24 save percentage.

Only Cam Lanigan, a former Blazer, is ahead of Cheveldave, but the Medicine Hat Tiger goaltender has played five fewer games than his former teammate.

Kamloops brought its undefeated-in-regulation record to 12-0-01 with five straight wins on the Central Division swing, disposing of Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Kootenay.

The Blazers lead the WHL and the Western

Conference with 25 points, five more than second-place Tri City.

Kamloops is nine points clear of the Victoria Royals in the race for the B.C. Division crown.

The Blue and Orange lead the WHL with 61 goals, 15 more than Calgary and Edmonton, both of which are tied for second in the league.

It’s more of the same at the other end of the rink — Kamloops is second in the WHL in goals against, allowing 30 goals in 13 games.

Only Portland, which has allowed 27 goals, has been stingier on defence.

Brandon, at 6-5-1-0, is sixth in the Eastern Conference ahead of its tilt against Victoria tonight (Oct. 23) on Vancouver Island.

The Wheat Kings will play the Giants in Vancouver on

Wednesday, Oct. 24, before making the trip to the Tournament Capital for Friday’s matchup.

A well-rested Blazer squad will have every opportunity to improve on its mind-boggling start.

Gaudet traded Kamloops Blazer defenceman Brady Gaudet was traded on Sunday, Oct. 21 He was sent to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for a thirdround bantam draft pick in 2013.

“With nine defencemen on our current roster, we felt it was necessary to free up more ice time to our other defencemen,” Blazer GM Craig Bonner said.

“Brady is a terrific young man and we wish him well in Red Deer.”

The Redvers, Sask., product played 117 games with the Blazers, racking up seven goals and 34 points.

Kamloops now has 24 players on its roster — eight defencemen, 14 forwards and two goaltenders.

Hockey WolfPack mauled It was a weekend to forget for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack hockey team.

The WolfPack travelled to Castlegar and were blown back to Kamloops with 11-0 and 8-1 losses to the Selkirk College Saints.

The losses drop TRU’s record to 2-2.

“We found a new way to lose tonight,” WolfPack general manager Chris Hans said.

“We had a lack of discipline, which resulted in six power-play goals.

This is unacceptable. By far these past two games have been major disappointments, not only because we lost, but how we did it.”

Colten De Frias was the lone WolfPack player to score.

The WolfPack are back in action at Memorial Arena on Saturday Oct. 27 to face the Trinity Western Spartans. Faceoff is at 8 p.m.

Different starts for volleyball teams The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s volleyball team have opened some eyes in the CIS this weekend.

Meanwhile, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s volleyball team struggled in its final pre-season tournament before the start of the 2012-2013 Canadian Interuniversity Canada

West season.

Playing at the Best of the West tournament at Trinity Western and UBC, the WolfPack lost their final three matches 3-0 to go winless in four matches.

TRU fell to the host UBC squad 25-13, 25-15, 25-13, lost to the UBC-Okanagan Heat 25-14, 25-16, 25-9 and succumbed to the University of Regina Cougars 25-16, 25-13, 25-12.

“We need to work on our passing and competing,” said WolfPack head coach Keith Lundgren.

“We will keep pushing and hope to be ready for our season opener.”

The WolfPack open the regular season on Friday, Oct. 26 when they host UBCOkanagan.

Game time is 6 p.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre.

FANTASY AS

REALITY

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER/MODEL andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Most days, hairdressers get to use only so much imagination.

There’s the standard haircut with layers, the standard haircut without layers, maybe a slightly more daring short ‘do here and there.

But, once every fall, students at Interior Academy get to go a little wild.

For their annual Fantasy Competition, hairdressing and spa students create hair, makeup and nail looks that are more costume party than day at the office.

“There’s not really a time for the girls to do something avant garde unless they’re in competition,” explains school coowner Rammy Sandhu.

“It’s so different than the day-to-day.”

Armed with bold colours and hair and eyelash extensions, students must complete their looks under strict time constraints after a month of designing and planning.

Points are awarded for creativity and originality, but also for using proper styling techniques.

This year’s contest takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, at Interior Academy, 519 Victoria St. Members of the public are encourage to drop in and browse this year’s fantasy looks.

KTW reporter Andrea Klassen was a willing model for Interior Academy students, surrendering herself to their creations.

The event is free, but donations on admission are accepted.

There will be three keynote speakers and a trade show with healthrelated organizations.

From noon to 1 p.m., Kamloops Blazer Jordan DePape and for-

mer Blazer Ajay Baines — and both living with Type 1 diabetes — will be available to talk about the challenges all people with the disease face.

Pre-registration is recommended by calling 1-888-628-9494.

Human Library returns Six “books” will be featured as the Kanloops Human Libary project returns this fall.

LOCAL NEWS The first event is on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Smorgasbord Deli, 225 Seventh Ave. The setup involves volunteers with interesting life stories who talk with people about their lives.

Featured will be: • Marg Archibald, who ran her own advertising agency before

OFF TO HIGH-LAND SEAS Ainsley Mutrie is heading out today (Oct. 23) for Miami, where she will take part in the BATD Nort American Scholarship Competition on Friday, Oct. 26.

Ainsley, a student at the Shalni Prowse School of Highland Dance, was accepted into the competition based on her dance-exam marks given by the British Association of Teachers of Dance (BATD) in the spring. Her examiner nominated her for the competition, which involves a written theory paper, a technique competition and a highland solo-choreography event. Ainsley will follow the event with a three-day cruise in the Caribbean that will include highland-dance workshops and lectures during the day and fun events in the afternoon.

moving to Kamloops.

She has biked around the world and published books about her travels.

• Thompson Rivers University Ebglish professor and NDP candidate Tom Friedman comes to the event with a willingness to put aside politics and give people a glimpse of other facets of his life.

• Rick Turner has had a high profile in the community due to his involvement with the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association.

Now retired, he is active with the Kamloops Health Coalition and is president of the KamloopsNorth Thompson NDP. • After a career as a behaviour specialist with the Kamloops school district, Jim Fornelli taught for several years at TRU. These days he can often be seen around the city delighting young and old in the form of his clown persona, Sancho.

• Having raised a family and worked in social work and community development, Wendy Weseen discovered her inner artist and became a Buddhist.

• Sigi White’s career as an accountant is in direct contrast to her current occupations: She finds adventure climbing mountains and capturing the beauty of landscape and nature in photographs.

Biographies of the human books are online at lookkamloops.ca/living_human_library.

Inheritance Not so very long ago, Eragon—Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider—was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. The much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle is now available in paperback.

NOW

When the days are still mild, it’s hard to believe deep winter is just around the corner.

In Canada, winter weather is tough on vehicles, what with cold starts in the morning and salty roads that corrode the bodywork.

For sure, now is the time to start preparing your car or truck for the cold season.

The first thing to take care of is to get a proper set of winter tires, if you don’t already have one. Get them installed and be ready for the first freeze.

Other than that, there are a lot of little things you can do to get your car ready for winter, including applying a good wax on the body.

Such a treatment will protect the paint and finish of the vehicle from scratches caused by flying rocks, salt and mud.

This is a job best done now, while the weather is still warm enough to let you work outside comfortably.

With the guidance of your owner’s manual, take the time to check all the fluid levels that you can reach in the engine compartment. That can include the engine oil level, brake fluid, power steering pump fluid (if so equipped) and, of course, the windshield-washer fluid.

It is no fun to find yourself on a slushy road with none of that in the reservoir!

If you don’t want to be bothered with this kind of maintenance, be sure to have your local mechanic do it. At the same time, why not have him or her change the engine oil for one with the proper cold-weather viscosity?

Then, you’ll be all set for winter!

Winter is Almost Here!

Stay green and save green this winter Take a bite out of winter and save money on fuel with these green driving tips from Natural Resources Canada.

Usually no more than two to three minutes of idling is needed on cold winter days, then drive it; check your tire pressure at least once a month; use a block heater; and avoid electric battery blankets and space heaters.

More than just junk in the trunk Though most experts will tell you to keep the trunk of your car as empty as possible for optimal fuel economy, there are, nevertheless, some useful tools you should keep in the vehicle in case of an emergency.

The first one is a small blanket that will come in handy should you become stuck in a snowstorm.

The foil survival blankets that can be purchase at a hardware store are perfect for this as they are very lightweight and fold up small.

A candle and some matches or a lighter will also be useful in such a case.

Then there is the unavoidable shovel.

You can buy a small light shovel at any major store selling car-maintenance products.

At the same time, why not choose a set

, and huge -location!

B9

of those tough plastic traction bars that can help you get unstuck in deep snow?

And, if your car is older, it might be wise to keep a set of jumper cables in the trunk.

Here is another smart object to keep in your trunk: A half-metre-squared piece of flat wood, such as plywood (but not pressed wood).

Why? Because it makes a solid base on the ground in case you have to use the jack to change a tire.

Jacks have a tendency to sink in the snow or slip on ice. A flat wooden base will assure a steady, solid surface.

One thing you should never keep in your vehicle is de-icing salt. Any leak from the bag and the contents will rust away that part of the car.

KTW CAR CARE

Fall back now on fluid checkup in your ride As winter closes in, we start asking ourselves how to prepare our vehicles for the upcoming cold season.

We pay good money for the best cars, yet we can feel so helpless in front of Mother Nature and the wear and tear she can inflict upon a car or light truck.

Other than putting on winter tires, one of the most important things to look at is

the fluid levels of the engine and the many technical accessories in the engine compartment.

One of these is the radiator antifreeze.

If your car or light truck is new, don’t worry — the automaker will have filled your radiator with one of the best all-season fluids.

But, if your vehicle is a few years old, it would be wise

to have the antifreeze level checked, along with the density of the liquid itself.

There was a time when many motorists were very handy in maintaining their own vehicles.

Just about everybody had on hand the proper tools to check most parts of their cars or trucks.

Today, people buy vehicles and do not expect to have to maintain them as they did in the past.

That is understandable since most new vehicles are so wellbuilt and do not require such care when they are new.

KTW CAR CARE

Finding fuel efficiency in the dead of winter

P

ART OF BEING A SMART, SAFE, fuel-efficient driver includes knowing how to achieve good results — even in the worst weather.

Did you know, for example, that the combined effects of various conditions can increase fuel consumption more in winter than summer? While it may sound obscure, when you break it down, it really makes sense.

• Drivers should expect higher fuel consumption in cold weather. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that a drop in temperature from 24°C to 7°C increased fuel consumption in urban commutes by 12 to 28 per cent.

• Aerodynamic resistance is greater in winter. Cold, dry winter air is about 12 per cent denser than warm, humid summer air, increasing highway fuel consumption by about 1.3 per cent in winter. The average wind speed is also higher in winter, which contributes to increased aerodynamic resistance and fuel consumption.

• Winter roads create difficult driving conditions. Roads tend to be rougher in the winter, with increased asphalt deterioration and a mix of snow, ice, slush, water, salt, gravel, and sand.

The engine works harder to offset the increased rolling resistance, as the tires must

push aside heavy snow and road cover.

The snow and ice also increase wheel slippage, which results in higher fuel consumption. U.S. EPA data shows that fuel consumption can increase from seven to 35 per cent as a result of poor road conditions, depending on the surface type and snow load.

• Winter gas normally has lower energy density. Gasoline composition is seasonally and geographically adjusted based on historical temperature data.

A litre of winter gas has less energy than a litre of summer gas, typically in the range of 1.5 to three per cent.

Diesel fuel is similarly affected.

• Winter driving taxes the vehicle’s electrical system.

Except for using air conditioning on hot summer days, a vehicle’s electrical loads are normally higher in cold weather due to greater demand from heating, defrosting, heated seats, heated mirrors and increased use of the windshield wipers and washer pump. The energy for these electrical loads is provided by the vehicle’s electrical system, which obtains power from the engine.

More winter driving tips can be found on the Natural Resources Canada website at oee.nrcan.gc.ca. newscanada.com

KTW CAR CARE In Kamloops, weather conditions call out for winter tires, yet a Canadian Tire study found a majority of drivers in British Columbia, Ontario and the Prairies choose not to install winter tires, mistakenly believing all-season tires offer adequate safety.

mornings when you’re rushing to work or school and the salt trucks just haven’t made it to your neighbourhood yet.

“These conditions are much more dangerous than just plain snow and having the right tires can keep everyone safe.”

The reason these tires are the most effective at preventing accidents is because they have deeper, specially-designed treads and are made of innovative rubber compounds that are softer and more pliant.

This allows them to perform better on ice, snow and slush, but also in both dry and wet conditions when the temperature dips below 7 C. Daly also suggests it’s also important to keep an eye on your tires’ air pressure.

“Overnight temperatures can drop from 5 C to -15 C and this rapid reduction can zap the air out of you tires by as much as four pounds per square inch (PSI). An under-inflated tire can be quite dangerous, so it’s important to keep tracking your tire pressure.”

Having a safe winter is a great reason to equip your car with the best tires.

Transport Canada says “winter tires marked with the pictograph of a peaked mountain with a snowflake meet specific snow-traction performance requirements and have been designed specifically for use in winter conditions.”

Another incentive is that some insurance companies, like DGI, will reward their clients who use winter tires with a discount on their auto insurance. newscanada.com

Don’t think trucks don’t need winter tires For owners of light trucks and SUVs, snowy roads and winter driving conditions can seem less perilous than they would to a small-car driver.

With features such as fourwheel drive, larger tires and a heavier build, drivers of these vehicles often feel they have the tools needed to conquer Canada’s winter roads.

However, relying on these features alone can give drivers a false sense of security during these tough travel months.

The truth is, without qual-

ity winter tires, no vehicle is exempt from losing control on snow or ice.

“Winter tires are designed with a rubber compound that stays flexible in cold temperatures for increased traction,” says Bill Hume, vice-president of Hankook Tire Canada.

“This added flexibility, combined with unique tire treads that are designed to grip ice or move snow out of the vehicle’s path, make winter tires essential for all drivers.”

Drivers of light trucks and

SUVs should keep in mind that the purpose of four-wheel drive is to send the same amount of a vehicle’s torque load to each tire, allowing the vehicle a more secure grip on the road’s surface during acceleration.

However, the moment even one tire hits a snowy or icy surface, the reduced traction combined with the still-even torque-load distribution can cause tires to spin.

Winter tires, designed to grip these surfaces, will help prevent this.

EEL THAT COLD AIR? It won’t be long now until we’re all dealing with sub-zero temperatures and a wind chill that takes your breath away.

While we can all agree the prospect of winter can be pretty miserable, being prepared and taking the necessary precautions in advance of the ice and snow is ideal. One of the best ways of doing this is by switching to winter tires.

However, according to a recent Canadian Tire survey, a majority of drivers in British Columbia, Ontario and the Prairies choose not to install winter tires, mistakenly believing all-season tires offer adequate safety.

The evidence says otherwise.

In winter-condition tests, Transport Canada and the Rubber Association of Canada found that stopping was 30 to 40 per cent longer with all-season compared to winter tires.

In cornering, vehicles with all-season tires went off the testing track at speeds of only 40 to 50 km/h, while vehicles equipped with winter tires had no problem. The results were consistent with front-, rear- and all-wheel vehicles.

The experts from Desjardins General Insurance (DGI) agree that winter tires are designed to save lives.

“What’s interesting is that many people who live in snow-belt regions across the country recognize the need for them,” said DGI spokesman Joe Daly.

“But, some drivers in urban regions don’t see the need to switch.

Going offroad with Mercedes’ SUV lineup SPECIAL TO KTW Wheelstalk.com

T

HE PULSE QUICKENS A little when a driving invitation lists Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport) in Bowmanville, Ont. as the driving venue.

Closer inspection reveals the track is just a staging point for road and trail tests of the latest SUV models from Mercedes-Benz.

But, that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be boring.

There’s still plenty of excitement to be had, albeit at lower speeds, when Canadian automotive journalists get a chance to see what’s new for 2013 in Mercedes’ family of four “offroaders”.

Now, I slapped those quotation marks around the “offroader” tag because some of these vehicles are more trail-competent than others. Most modern SUVs are more about attitude than aptitude, selling the image rather than the reality.

Because, frankly, most SUV owners rarely venture off the asphalt further than the overflow parking area of an antique market or to brave the occasional cabin or camping trail.

But, the evolution of sport utility carries on with a convergence of all-condition driving security enhanced by new benchmark levels of luxury and comfort, especially here in a revised 2013 Mercedes-Benz lineup.

Let’s begin at the bottom — if there is such a thing in a Mercedes lineup — and work our way up, starting with the GLK (Gelandewagen Leicht Kurz or cross-country vehicle, light, compact).

The GLK 350 4MATIC ($44,900) maintains its distinctive, high-top sneaker profile, but it ups the power with a new 3.5-litre directinjection CGI V6, making 302 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. The new engine features ECO start/ stop technology that shuts the motor down to eliminate idling (like a hybrid).

There are new paint choices for 2013 and interior tweaks include a swap in positions for the turn signal and cruise stalks. A variety of options and packages, including AMG treatment, are available.

I don’t want to give the game away early, but this was my first and favourite drive of the day. The GLK 350 4MATIC blends all the right ingredients in a nimble, supple and powerful package that is less ponderous that the GL, less ambiguous than the ML and less eccentric than the top-of-the-line G Class.

The GLK seems to resonate with Canadians. Ours is the only market in the world where the GLK outsells the Audi Q5.

For 2013, the rear-wheel-drive model has been dropped but a later addition of a new GLK 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC model will feature the first application of a 2.2-litre twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel in the Canadian lineup.

Two riders pause to check out the G 550 exploring the back trails and unassumed roads north of Bowmanville, Ont.

AUTOMARKET Navigating a land yacht

EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

X From B17

The GL (Gelandewagen Leicht) — not compact and not really all that light — rolls with the confident aplomb of a suitably decorated land yacht.

Mercedes refers to the GL as the S-Class of SUVS. It is bigger and roomier than the GLK and offers ultimate comforts, pulling out all the stops with premium positioning and a wealth of standard and available technologies.

Some of those technologies for 2013, beyond the usual traction control and assisted ABS systems, include AIRMATIC with adaptive damping, Acceleration Skid Control (ASR), PRE-SAFE anticipatory occupant protection system, Blind Spot Assist, LaneKeeping Assist, Crosswind Assist, Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR), Hill Start Assist, Attention Assist, Collision Prevention Assist, Active Curve Systems, Night View Assist, PARKTRONIC with active parking assist and a Parking System with 360-degree cameras. Whew!

The ECO start/stop feature will also be added later in the vehicle’s lifecycle.

The all-new second-generation 2013 GL lineup comes in model choices that include the GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC ($73,700), GL 450 4MATIC ($75,900), and GL 550 ($95,900). A top-of-the-lineup GL 63 AMG model ($TBA) will be added in early 2013.

The M-Class name has evolved,

as have the ML (Mehrzweck Leicht or multi-purpose light) models within.

The M-Class lineup got a major overhaul for 2012, with new powertrains, more technologies and other revisions. The exterior look shifted to a more rugged style while somehow staying in touch with the familial cues of sedans like the E-Class. The interior went in the other direction, with new levels of sedan-like refinement.

For 2013, Mercedes is stressing the addition of the brand’s acrossthe-board Collision Prevention Assist and also offers most of the available technologies mentioned above in the GL. The M-Class lineup blends the best of wagon, SUV and minivan qualities in a premium package, and it features the ML 350 4MATIC ($58,900), the ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC ($60,400), the ML 550 4MATIC ($76,500) and the ML 63 AMG ($100,900).

The original Gelandewangen is instantly recognizable because of its iconic boxy shape.

I don’t know if “rugged opulence” is an oxymoron, but the G-Class somehow pulls off both qualities. In civilian form, this uber-SUV may seem to be somewhat of a fashion affectation, sort of like having your muck boots designed by Armani.

But, it is an effective affectation, with truck-like body-on-

frame construction, three locking differentials and a choice of two powerful V8 engines. The G-Class, originally designed for military use, supports over 60 armies and was chosen for use by Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.

Although our driving day familiarized us with the entire Mercedes SUV lineup, a good portion was dedicated to the launch and testing of the refreshed G-Class on a grueling offroad course carved through the woods around Mosport’s track.

The G’s narrow track and width allows it access to the kind of trails that usually limit admission to serious bush bashers made by competitors like Jeep and Land Rover.

The terrain verifies some of the number crunches on the spec sheet — 21 centimetres of ground clearance, a fording depth of 60 cm and driving stability at inclined angles of up to 54 per cent, along with sharp angles of approach and departure.

The two-model lineup includes the G 550 ($120,900) that we tested offroad, and the pimpedup, more street-oriented G 63 ($149,900).

The G 63 replaces the former G 55 and harnesses a 536 hp bi-turbo 5.5-litre V8 that can hustle the G 63’s more than two and a half tons of mass down the road almost as quick as you can yell “Mein Lieber Gott!” (or in 5.4 seconds from 0-100 km/h).
