Rob Dickinson left his duties as engineering manager Tuesday after eight years with the city. Rob Dickinson left his duties as engineering manager Tuesday after eight years with the city. I had an awesome time at the city, said Dickinson, who is returning to the private sector to help open an engineering office in Saskatoon, Sask.

\"It takes 10 to 20 per cent of the traffic off 27th and 32nd streets. It becomes a huge, major spine,\" said Rob Dickinson, director of engineering. \"There will be fewer signals on this route compared to 27th and 32nd streets and it will be a shorter commute,\" said Dickinson. \"If we don't look at every other option in our city, we will see that $500 million option (bypass) come before us,\" said Dickinson.

\"It's treated very well, almost to the extent of our drinking water,\" said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager. \"There's so much misinformation out there,\" he said. \"In Canada, we say, 'Oh, it's been touched by dirty water.'\"

\"It won't be that bad,\" said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager, of the potential workload. \"Our only job is to make sure it's filled out and signed.\" Under B.C.'s Environmental Management Act, all property owners must submit completed site profile forms when applying for development permits, development variance permits, rezonings, subdivisions, soil removal permits, site preparation permits and demolition permits.

In the July 20 edition of The Morning Star, Rob Dickinson, Vernon's engineering manager states that using RDNO's water utility contractor to repave Old Kamloops Road, once the water utility upgrades are done, would be far more costly, than using their own to repave later on. The upgrades to Old Kamloops Road, in their entirety, are inevitable here. If you are heading west on it, towards town, the condition is not too bad until you get to around Miriam Road, just east of Freedom Motorsports, then the generous supply of potholes begin.

\"We've looked at the age of the sewer in that area and also identified some pedestrian deficits in that area,\" said [Rob Dickinson]. \"Early budget approval provides more available construction time and lowers the contractors' risk exposure which translates into more competitive bidding and lower contract prices,\" said Dickinson.

\"The bridge is designed to minimize the impact on the Vernon Creek riparian area and connect to a recently completed pathway, making walking and cycling trips to nearby employment and shopping destinations faster and safer for area residents,\" said [Rob Dickinson]. \"Through a provincial Trees for Tomorrow grant, the city was able to provide trees which now line the bottom portion of the trail adjacent to Okanagan Avenue,\" said Dickinson. \"Careful planning for capital work budgets over the next few years should see a number of positive changes and the city will continue to schedule projects that ultimately realize the public's vision for a sustainable and vibrant community,\" said Dickinson.

After labouring on and off on his own material for several years, [Rob Dickinson] finally released an amicable collection of mature, romantic guitar-rock anthems called Fresh Wine for the Horses in 2005. It drew generally decent reviews but the looming collapse of his label, Sanctuary Records, effectively drove the album from sight. Enter friend and Canadian uber-producer Bob Ezrin, who helmed the Catherine Wheel's 1997 disc Adam and Eve. He felt strongly enough that Fresh Wine deserved another go-'round that he passed the record along to Universal Music Canada boss Randy Lennox last year. While away on holiday, the entire Lennox clan fell in love with it and now, although \"the slow-turning wheels of the record industry\" have taken 12 months to make it so, Dickinson's solo debut is about to get a second lease on life with a forthcoming, worldwide release on Universal. That Dickinson's salvation should come from Canada is quite appropriate, since the Catherine Wheel generally sold more records and played to bigger crowds in this country than it ever did in the States or its native Britain. The band was one of the marquee acts on Our Lady Peace's Summersault festival tour several years ago, alongside the Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins. Indeed, during the Happy Days/Adam and Eve-era the band was a near-constant presence on MuchMusic and 102.1FM.

Despite the slow build-up, bar owners predict a big weekend with few problems -- from the tourists anyway. \"They have a far better drinking culture than Kiwis do,\" Mr [Rob Dickinson] said. \"They enjoy their beer and stick to it all night and don't get visibly intoxicated. They don't hit the spirits, shots and shakers later either. It would be great if we could have them every night.\" The odd All Black supporter can also be found in the campground. Tana Umaga fan Chandler Hayward, 5, from New Plymouth, can hardly wait for tomorrow's test. His dad, Raymond, used to play with Umaga and Chandler has been promised a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the All Blacks before the test. \"He's the greatest player of the world,\" he says. \"I love him.\" Home comforts: This bunch of likely lads is looking for a female driver for their campervan _ cooking skills preferable.

China is the last country still using steam locomotives in large numbers. Their demise will pretty much close the steam chapter of history - an era that spanned the Industrial Revolution to the Atomic Age. The locomotives are watered and restocked with coal every day, their pistons and bolts oiled at the start of each 12-hour shift, and their furnaces emptied of coal ash after each trip. Only during overhauls or when they are sidelined are their fires extinguished, so even when not pulling loads, the engines steam and sputter to themselves and their metal cabin floors throb with life. A train worker uses a metal rod to poke out coal ash from the furnace of a steam locomotive at Tongchuan in China earlier this year. The trains require a lot of work; they must be oiled before each 12-hour shift, watered and loaded with coal daily. After every trip, the furnace is emptied of ash. China is gradually phasing out steam trains, but a half dozen are still used in Tongchuan, a town in the central Chinese province of Shaanxi, to haul coal from mines.; Photo: Associated Press
