Police fi nd
bike grave-
yard on NS Police found a bicycle graveyard
on the North Shore Wednesday
afternoon (July 13). The discov-
ery of almost a dozen bike frames
in the backyard of a Nelson Av-
enue home happened when a sus-
pect running from police jumped
the fence onto the property, ac-
cording to Kamloops RCMP Cpl.
Jodi Shelkie.
An offi cer noticed a bicycle-
riding man who was believed
to have an outstanding warrant.
The offi cer tracked the man to
the backyard of the home. The
man jumped into the backyard
where he was arrested with the
help of several offi cers in several
vehicles.
“In the backyard, the offi cer not-
ed that there were quite a few old
and dilapidated bicycle frames,”
Shelkie said. “There were 21
frames that were found located
in the backyard. The people that
live in the residence there said
that they don’t know who the
frames belong to, and they just
found them abandoned.”
The bikes’ serial numbers were
run, and at least one bike was
confi rmed stolen on June 19;
none of the rest came back a sto-
len or missing, Shelkie said.
No charges have been laid in
connection to the bikes found.
WILD, WET FUN. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, Kamloops Mayor Peter
Milobar, and NSBIA president Steve Puhallo cut the ribbon with neighbourhood children to of-
fi cially open McDonald Park Spray Pool last Friday. Submitted photo
The suspect did not live at the
address, and the residents had
no knowledge of the bikes be-
ing there. The house had recently
been the subject of police activ-
ity, and new tenants had only re-
cently moved in.
The man was wanted on a
breach of probation order.
All the frames were quite weath-
ered and by-laws offi cers took the
bikes away. Anyone that may be
missing a bike is advised to call
by-laws to see if parts of their
bike have been found.
Those bikes that are not claimed
will be taken to the Kamloops
landfi ll, Shelkie said.

Five simple ways to relax during summer travel
No matter whether you’re hitting the road for a cottage weekend or
jet setting overseas, a few quick and simple enhancements to your
packing list will pump up the experience without adding weight to
your bag.
L�� ��� ���!" #$%&. No trip is complete without its own soundtrack
to help make the experience more memorable. If you’re travelling by
car, bring an adaptor or a mini dock to create a fun atmosphere wher-
ever you go. Create playlists and download it to your phone so you can
play regardless of the status of Wi-Fi.
S�%& '(���. It sounds like a no brainer, but when travelling long
distances, especially by air, you’ll want to feel fresh throughout the
journey. Travel kits with deodorant, face wipes, hand sanitizer, and a
breath freshener of some sort will keep you feeling your best. Keep
packs of naturally sweetened gum in your bag or purse for the perfect
fresh breath boost without sugar substitutes, artifi cial sweeteners and
artifi cial colours.
C�() ��*+�(. Don’t let hunger slow down your travels. Keep non-
perishable snack sized items on hand like granola bars or trail mix. It
may help during a fl ight delay or to power through long drives.
B%��$� ),(�-,�. If you aren’t busy taking in the sights, maximize
your time by enjoying a book you’ve always wanted to read. If you have
trouble selecting your next text, check out a recommended reading list
such as www.cbc.ca/books/books100.html.
T(& /,�(*%$!*+. A journal can become one of your most treasured
souvenirs after travelling. Put pen to paper during downtimes and
chronicle some of your favourite experiences including recommenda-
tions for friends planning similar trips. – NC
The improper towing of boats
can create dangerous driving
conditions resulting in traffi c ac-
cidents.
When towing a boat or trailer:
• Ensure that the tires on the
trailer and tow vehicle are prop-
erly infl ated.
• Connect safety chains prop-
erly.
• Make sure that your boat is
properly secured to the trailer.
• Check that the trailer’s signal
lights and brake lights are oper-
ating properly.
• Ensure that the trailer is prop-
erly secured to the trailer hitch.
• Secure and contain all equip-
ment and cargo. This will keep
it from shifting within the boat
which can aff ect stability or fall-
ing out into traffi c.
• Allow for more space between
yourself and the vehicle ahead
of you. The added weight will
increase the stopping distance
required.
• If you are traveling for an ex-
tended period stop in a safe lo-
cation to make sure brake lights
and signal lights are still work-
ing properly.
• Exercise caution when pass-
ing another vehicle. The added
weight of the boat can dramati-
cally reduce acceleration.

Life is busy. Life is good.
Being a working mom, the
weeks have rushed by in a blur.
Summer is upon us already. The
end of the school year came and
went, with Zachary on the cusp
to middle school, and Aubrielle
fi nished Kindergarten.
When did summer get here?
... Weeks ago, and I haven’t had
time to notice.
However, I have a growing list
of items that keep me sane and
keep my children entertained,
while they bask in this free time.
So, here is my Mommy’s sum-
mer survival guide:
1. D� �� ����!"#$ – "%"��-
�&�'(: Snacks, clothes, break-
fast, entertainment. Kids are old
enough and independent. They
are more than capable to make
their breakfast (they are strong
enough to get the jug of milk –
check!); get their own drinks and
snack (water fl ows easily out of
the tap); fi nd clothes to wear (I
am not your dressing machine);
Entertain themselves (if I hear
“I’m bored” just once, there is an
empty box to clean out their bor-
ing book and toys).
2. B")��*" 7 +.*. I don’t care if
you are 10 years old. Go to your
room and read. I do not have the
summer off work. I still have
bedtime and an alarm clock that
rings at an ungodly hour. Mom-
my is off duty at the same time ...
Ok, maybe 8 p.m.
3. P�"-*,/" #�'0&"! ,')
!',0/!: I need to stay on sched-
ule, in the mornings still (see
item #2). I still need to get ready
and pack myself food for work.
All the better – none for school.
4. S�'!0�""', , $#�++� &,�,
,') , (��) 6��/: At the be-
ginning of my youth, I would
have been oil soaked, laying in
the sun, reading Cosmo. Now,
it’s a fl oppy hat, parked in the
shade, a good book or Chatelaine
magazine looking for recipes. It’s
a good thing I can tune out kids
screaming while getting lost in
Mommyland while still looking
like an attentive parent. (Oops,
did I say that “aloud?”)
5. L,9' 0&,�� (recline-able, if
possible) or patio table set with
umbrella ... Fresh air, sunshine,
sending the kids outside and keep-
ing an eye on them. See item #4.
6. F�������: This year, it seems to
be a communal treat. All kids in our
neighbourhood are sharing Freez-
ies, daily. I guess we should join in
the sharing, too. It keeps the kids
outside and somewhat hydrated ...
The sugar keeps them energized.
7. B#"')"�. I still need coff ee.
However, a piping hot, vanilla
coff ee/caramel macchiato is a bit
hard to take when roasting in the
hot sun. Cold, fl avoured, special-
ty coff ee blended on ice. Mmmm.
(Mamma needs her coff ee!)
8. W,�"� 6���#"! ,') K��#,�):
Kids will go a full day on a sip
of water – but fi ll a glass with
kKoolaid and they will drink an
entire cooler full of Koolaid in
a matter of 30 minutes. It helps
keep the kids hydrated by all
means necessary.
9) W,�"� ,00"!!���"!: wings/
fl oaties, balloons, squirt guns. A
trip to the pool or a water fi ght.
This comes in handy if they think
they are getting bored. Everyone
likes water, except no one likes
getting wet! (Note: A trip to the
pool does not count towards their
minimum hour of playing outside.)
10. The list: I saw a list online
of all the things the kids have to
do before they even think about
asking to play any type of video
games or watch TV/movies. We
tweaked it to suit our needs. It in-
cludes basics such as:
And last, but certainly not
least...
11) M!""# $�"�: I just dropped
the kids (and hubby) off at the air-
port to travel to Montreal for two
weeks! It’s all about me, me, me!
.... When the kids are away, Mom-
my will play..... Stay tuned...
