MAID IN THE SHADE DURING HEAT WAVE
KTW photographer Allen Douglas was lucky enough to take a flight in the B-25 Bomber Maid in the Shade, which is on display at Kamloops Airport through Sunday. For a price, the public can also take flight in the aircraft that was in action during the Second World War. Tours of the B-25 and two other planes are also available — one in which visitors can enter the planes and one in which visitors can see the planes up close without entering the aircraft. All the information on hours of operation and prices for flights and tours is online at bit.ly/KamloopsBC.

A worker killed at Domtar on June 29 worked at the plant for 37 years, the union representing workers at the Kamloops pulp mill said Wednesday. Unifor issued a statement on the death of Jim G. Macleod, who died in an incident involving a crane at the mill. “Nobody should lose their life while trying to earn a living,” said Unifor national president Jerry Dias. “On behalf of all Unifor members I want to extend our deepest sympathy to Jim’s family, loved ones and work colleagues.” Domtar reported two employees were injured in the accident, one of them fatally. It is co-operating with a WorkSafeBC investigation. The union said the injured worker is Ross Thompson, “who was injured in the crane incident and is now healing at home.” The union said Macleod, 57, was an active union member through committees and as a delegate. “Macleod was a dedicated leader who faithfully represented his fellow members in the best possible manner,” the union said. On Tuesday, the union held a flag-lowering ceremony with Macleod’s family, staff, retirees and Domtar officials. Unifor’s western regional director, Joie Warnock, said it will support the investigation, including how to prevent similar workplace accidents.
