Clock ticking on pit bulls Owner of seized animals disputes city’s story tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of a pair of pit bulls alleged to have randomly attacked a passerby near a busy Sahali street told KTW the city isn’t telling the whole story about the incident. Kyle Esau, who owns five-yearold American Staffordshire Terriers Kitta and Buster, admits his dogs bit a 19-year-old man on April 1, but maintains the attack was not random. “I was going through a dumpster and I had my dogs on a leash,” the 24-year-old said. “My dogs started barking at this guy. He got scared or something, he kicked them and he started running backwards.” The victim was bitten a number of times and required treatment at Royal Inland Hospital. Police were called to investigate and Esau, who is homeless, was arrested. He was later released without criminal charges. The dogs, however, were seized by the City of Kamloops and will likely be put down if Esau can’t meet a lengthy list of conditions by the end of this week. According to Jon Wilson, the city’s community-safety and enforcement manager, the attack was the result of negligence on the part of Esau. “The owner failed to maintain proper and reasonable control of the dogs prior to and during the incident,” Wilson said. “Both dogs involved aggressively pursued and engaged in a sustained attack on the man in an unprovoked manner.” The incident is alleged to have began on a walking trail near Upper College Heights, in the area of Summit Drive and McGill Road. The melee eventually

spilled out onto Summit Drive. Injuries to the victim included punctures and bruising on his arms and legs and a cut on one leg. “The injuries may have been more severe had the attack been of a longer duration,” Wilson said. The attack ended after motorists on Summit Drive stopped their vehicles and convinced the dogs to let up, Wilson said, alleging Esau did not intervene. Kamloops RCMP conducted an investigation and have not forwarded any potential criminal charges to the Crown. However, according to Wilson, a municipal investigation has found Esau to be at fault — and the dogs to be dangerous. “Both dogs involved have been deemed aggressive under the city’s dog responsibility and control bylaw, which places significant onus on the owner to provide strict controls and undertake risk management to ensure public safety before the dogs will be

returned,” he said. Requirements include orders that Esau house the dogs in a permanent outdoor enclosure, use a short leash and muzzles whenever the animals are in public, implant microchips in the dogs and adorn them with high-visibility dog tags. “The owner is further obligated to obtain and maintain suitable liability insurance in the amount of $2 million at all times and sign a release and indemnity waiver with the city,” Wilson said. “The owner has been provided 14 days to meet the requirements under the city’s bylaws for keeping an aggressive dog. “If the owner does not meet these requirements, the animals will be forfeited as unclaimed and the animals humanely euthanized as unsuitable for adoption.” Wilson noted the dogs had no history of violence, but said the owner could face municipal charges in bylaw court. “Charges are also pending against the owner for the dogs being at large, attacking and causing injury,” he said. “Fines of $500 for each dog are pending, given the nature of the attack and consistent witness statements that the owner made little to no attempt to intervene and gain control of the animals.” Esau said he has had Kitta and Buster since they were puppies, noting they have never exhibited violent behaviour in the past. He said he is trying to meet the conditions before the dogs are put down. “It’s hard because I’m homeless,” he said, adding he and his ex-girlfriend are attempting to set up a fundraiser to help save the animals. “I’m just trying to get on my feet myself. How am I supposed to do all that?”

A fire in a home in North Kamloops claimed the life of the pet dog of this distraught tenant. The investigation continues. Dave Eagles/KTW

Dog perishes in house ﬁre By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

No people were hurt as flames gutted part of a North Kamloops duplex unit on Thursday, April 12, but a family pet wasn’t as lucky. Emergency crews were called to the blaze, in the 600-block of Clearwater Avenue, at about 2:30 p.m. after a neighbour spotted smoke and called 911. Kamloops Fire Rescue assistant chief Mike Adams said firefighters entered the home and found the flames were confined to one room. “They found it was in the basement and they made an initial knockdown,” he said. Initial reports indicated the blaze

might be suspicious in nature, but Adams said investigators are still looking into the cause. “It’s too early to tell,” he said. “As our investigation progresses, we’ll find out more.” Kamloops RCMP was also at the scene, with officers apparently collecting evidence from in and around the home. The tenant of the basement suite, who did not provide his name, said he was at work when the fire broke out, while his children were at school. His dog, identified by neighbours as a five-year-old miniature sheltie named Buddy, died as a result of the fire. Adams said it’s too early to put a dollar value on the blaze.

Wiping the slate clean By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“These buns are really gross,” declares Taya Reinbold between bites of her burger. White, fluffy chunks of the bun litter her plate. Across from Tara, Kira Kershaw is dismantling her meal as well, leaving just enough to keep the condiments intact and her fingers clean to tap at her phone every few moments. Around the pair, other students at the Twin Rivers Education Centre are working through their own servings of barbecue, a school treat after a morning spent cleaning the streets near the alternative school on the North Shore. About 50 teens donned bright orange reflector vests and filled bags with neighbourhood litter, their contribution to this week’s KamClean activities. Taya accessorizes her vest with a pair of aviator shades that obscure much of the top of her face. “Work it,” another girl in the lunch area calls out when she passes.

She and Kira are new to the school this year, but became fast friends when they met in their favourite class, art. “We’re really alike,” says Taya. “Yeah, we have a lot in common,” Kira adds. Among those are an age (18), a grade (12), and big, genuine laughs when they crowd around a digital camera to check out photos of themselves in their littercollecting outfits. There’s also a shared sense of quiet surprise as they talk about the future. Before changing schools last semester, neither girl saw herself graduating. “It’s pretty weird,” Kira says. Once she’s done, she wants to upgrade some of her courses before she heads to college or university. Taya has plans to take a health-care assistant course. The giggles they’ve been sharing over lunch subside with the discussion of grad. Taya looks over her burger in thought. “I didn’t think I was ever going to grad.” she says. “I was really far behind,” “Yeah,” Kira says, “me too.”

Cash for Bear Aware The provincial government is providing $225,000 over the next 12 months to bring the Bear Aware program to more communities around the province. Bear Aware is an education program focused on reducing human-bear conflict in residential neighbourhoods through education, innovation and co-operation. Last year, 22 communities participated. The most effective and natural way to prevent conflicts with bears in urban areas is to put away food attractants such as garbage, bird seed, compost and fruit. In communities where attractants are

managed properly, there has been a decline in human-bear conflicts and in the number of bears destroyed. In Kamloops, over 23 bears were destroyed every year because of conflicts with people but, since 2004, that number has decreased to four bears per year on average. The city hired its first Bear Aware coordinator in 2002. Kamloops has been designated Bear Smart, one of four communities in the province with the status. Bear Aware education is one criterion that must be met for a community to obtain the status.

Anderson’s pot charges changed By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The lawyer representing a Kamloops pot activist said prosecutors are playing dirty by amending charges against his client to keep the file out of B.C. Supreme Court — and out of the hands of a jury. Carl Anderson is facing one count of posses-

sion for the purpose of trafficking under three kilograms, stemming from a raid on his North Shore compassion club in November. That charge replaces an earlier count of possession for the purpose of trafficking over three kilograms — a count which was stayed during a brief court appearance on April 16. According to

Carl Anderson is arrested outside his compassion club on Tranquille Road. KTW file photo

defence lawyer Shawn Buckley, who spoke to the media outside court, the charge amendment is a tactic aimed at keeping the file away from a jury. “I’m speculating it’s because, with the old count, we had an election [for B.C. Supreme Court judge and jury],” he said. “It would just be a given that you’d be in a superior court for this kind of a charge.” The new charge falls under what’s called “absolute jurisdiction” of the provincial court — meaning there’s no way to have a trial held in B.C. Supreme Court. And, because there are no juries in provincial court, it means the matter is destined to be heard by a provincial court judge alone. Buckley said the new charge does not reflect the original allegations against Anderson. “The police report

indicates they had seized more than three kilograms,” he said. On Nov. 1, investigators with the Kamloops RCMP’s drug section raided the Tranquille Road headquarters

of the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society. Mounties obtained a search warrant based on information from a confidential informant and a client of Anderson’s.

Lawyer says new charges laid to avoid a jury trial X From A6

Investigators also conducted minimal undercover work prior to the raid. While the warrant was being executed, a group of Anderson’s supporters gathered outside the building. Anderson was eventually arrested on an allegation of obstruction after he refused to move out of the way of offi-

cers coming and going from the building. He was not charged with obstruction, but drug charges were laid against him earlier this year. The raid resulted in the seizure not only of pot, but computers, scales and other equipment used by Anderson in operating his compassion club. At a court appearance in January, before

he had been charged with drug offences, Anderson made an application to a judge to have more than 900 grams of marijuana, a computer, a scale and a vapourizer — all seized during the raid — returned to him. That application is still before the court. Buckley said he plans to make constitutional challenges at trial, pertaining to the

laws currently outlawing compassion clubs. If he were to be successful in challenging Canada’s pot laws, he said, the decision would carry more weight if it was handed down by a B.C. Supreme Court justice as opposed to a provincial court judge. Anderson said he hopes to see the case bring about change in the laws governing marijuana.

“The law’s not just,” he said. “The law has to change, and it will.” Anita Chan, the Vancouver-based federal Crown prosecutor handling Anderson’s case, refused to speak to KTW. Anderson and a co-accused, Wesley Jenkins, are slated to return to Kamloops provincial court for arraignment on May 17.

Speaking of powerful orators, our schools have voices

HERE THERE’S SOAP, THERE’S HOPE. Where limbs have been amputated, the impoverished have been helped. From the explosion of a landmine was born a Nobel Peace Prize winner. And, from the deep of Africa rose a global movement to capture a war criminal. Peace was the overarching theme guiding 10 dedicated students at Aberdeen elementary as their research, writing and presentation saw them advance to the school’s final in the annual public-speaking contest. However, these students had a wide berth in interpreting peaceful initiatives. Hence the focus on work by the Canadian Cancer Society to never stop its battle against cancer; the scourge that is abuse and bullying; the aforementioned amputee, Spencer West, who dedicates his time to help the impoverished and inspire kids to chase their dreams; and the Global Soap Project, which collects partly used bars of soap from hotels and crafts them into brand-new bars, ready to be used in Africa to stave off myriad diseases. It was interesting to watch as these 10 young minds — many, if not all, about to step into the formidable world of high school in five months — prepared to speak before an audience that included about 50 of their peers, their principal, a collection of teachers and the three Rotary Club judges, one of whom was Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Seated next to each other in chairs, facing their audience, the six girls and four boys were a faction of fidgeting hands, tap-tap-tapping feet, nervous laughter and a hard swallow or two. It appeared as though they were nervous, and for good reason. Public speaking is often listed as the No. 1 fear of people — even ahead of death in many surveys. You may be a kid who plays at lunch and recess with a group of friends, but paralyzing fear often arrives when, just moments after playing tag outside, you are confronted with speaking in front of this same group of friends. Dale Carnegie cited failure, insecurity and perfectionism as three reasons for the fear that takes hold as one approaches the podium. We could analyze and dissect it further, but most people will simply say it’s scary because it’s scary. However, nervous though these 10 Aberdeen students may have appeared as they were seated, nothing but confidence spilled from the podium as, one by one, they delivered their three- and

four-minute speeches with authority, humour and poignancy. It may seem a little thing. Public speaking is something we have all done, something the vast majority of us despise. Every school has some kind of public-speaking competitions and teachers work hard to help students emerge from various shells as a result of the process, which is anything but easy. But, it really isn’t just a little thing to each of the 10 students — and the dozens more who presented to their classrooms in the run-up to the speaking finals. Books, websites, peers and parents were consulted as a germ of an idea blossomed into a sentence, then a paragraph, then a whole body of work. Through the process, the fear of not having enough information, enough words, to fill a timespan of three or four minutes morphed into the agony of having too much information, too many words. Thus students were introduced to the practice of deciding which gem of a sentence to cut, an editing process known in journalism as “killing your darlings.” It’s a shame there won’t be a district competition this year as the speeches at Aberdeen — and, I am sure, at other schools — were powerful. Instead, the winner will get to read aloud at a future Rotary breakfast and provide real food for thought. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

Taken at face value, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s bemusement over the legislature press gallery’s reaction to his noncommittal comments about next year’s general election is welltimed — and amusing — damage control. The Surrey-Cloverdale MLA’s remarks came in response to questions stemming from the defection of Abbotsford MLA John van Dongen from the B.C. Liberals to the B.C. Conservatives. Reporters asked if Falcon would run in the May 14, 2013, fixeddate election. His response: Family priorities might take precedence over any political aspirations. Not unexpectedly, one would think, this kicked off speculation on what it meant to the party’s — and, specifically, Premier Christy Clark’s — future. Falcon noted he goes through the same process before every election. After all, shouldn’t family — as Clark often suggests — come first? Besides, what incumbent commits to running 14 months prior to voting day? Many, it turns out. With good reason. When we cast our ballots for political representation, we are investing in our future. At all levels, we seek visionaries with both long- and short-term goals to better serve us. The minister of finance, it must be noted, is the architect of the annual budget, projecting our economic needs well into the future. If Falcon can’t commit, Clark must find someone who will. During the divisive campaign, for the premier’s job, Falcon repeatedly stated he would be running in the next election, win or lose. What has changed?

Editor: Much has been made of the 400-orso temporary jobs that will be generated in exchange for the chance of polluting our air, water and environment by the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. I am definitely in favour of job generation in Kamloops, but I recently came across a short video that does an excellent job of outlining a totally environmentally friendly way of creating as many — or more — jobs as the mine. It goes something like this: If everyone who lives in our community makes the commitment to buy only 10 per cent of their goods and services from local businesses, it would put in circulation an additional $40 million, which would generate $12 million in wages, thus making it possible to hire 400-or-so additional employees. And, this would be

indefinitely. Our community and our tax base would be strengthened, making Kamloops a much more vibrant and resilient living environment. Local economies have been undermined in the last few decades by international trade deals, the arrival of big-box stores, vertical integration of business and gradual loss of local manufacturing and small businesses. We can make our community stronger by just making this small commitment. Think local first before making any purchases and make it a priority to spend at least that 10 per cent with locally owned and operated businesses.

Mine not needed if we can attract just 800 seniors Editor: Kamloops on sale — two for one! That’s right. We can mitigate the effect of the Ajax copper and gold mine not coming to a neighbourhood near us any time soon. Kamloops citizens can generate as much economic benefit to the local economy by opening our doors to the masses leaving large cities like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Recent demographic data shows a shift

of retirees from larger centres to smaller cities, such as Nanaimo, Red Deer and Saskatoon. In B.C., the redistribution of seniors is taking place in the Kootenays, in the Thompson-Okanagan (including Kamloops) and along the B.C.-Yukon border. Given that the average retiree generates an annual income of about half that of a miner, all we need to do is attract 800 seniors to Kamloops to make up for the loss of Ajax.

The economic spinoff will probably be greater when families visit Kamloops in the summer (for our warm weather) and in winter (for some of the best skiing in the world). That way, we can still all enjoy the air we breathe, the water we drink, the grasslands we hike and the gardens we grow. Let’s get the word out now. Kamloops is on sale: Two for one.

Ajax set to amp up advertising campaign By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Ajax mine could be coming to a TV set near you. Jim Whittaker, project manager for the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, said proponent KGHM Ajax is thinking about rolling out a television and radio ad campaign for the project as it moves closer to the end of its permitting process. “Everything we do now will be to engage the public and get more information out there,” Whittaker told the Canadian Home Builders Association-Central Interior at its April 11 meeting at the Kamloops Convention Centre. “When I look at this project from a technical point of view, I see a boring, benign project,” he said. “But, we are sitting on the boundary of a major city.” Over the course of his presentation, Whittaker gave a rundown of the proposed mine and offered his views on some of the community concerns surrounding the controversial development. Chief among those for the homebuilders are vibrations residents nearest the project might feel

during blasting. Whittaker told the crowd test blasts conducted last year showed shockwaves from the mine would be “under human tolerance” by the time they hit Kamloops’ city limits. However, “air blasts,” the noise from the construction, likely will be heard by those living closest to the operation. “If you’re standing in your backyard really still and it’s 1 p.m. and it’s blast time, you’ll hear it,” Whittaker said. “But, it won’t be something that’s a nuisance for people.” Questioned on the effect Ajax would have on Kamloops Lake — the water source for the project — Whittaker said the mine will use about 1,200 cubic metres of water (one cubic metre is equivalent to 1,000 litres) per hour, but will only use 0.2 per cent of the water flowing in the Thompson River system. Whittaker said he expects property values in the Aberdeen area “are going to be under stress to go up more than down,” but noted economic effects of Ajax will be studied further by consultants as part of the permitting process.

Whittaker said other studies underway or already conducted include a model of dust-fall patterns as the mine grows, measurements of current noise levels in the Aberdeen area and an inventory of “everything walking, flying or crawling” near the site for wildlife management. Those studies will be available for public review in late 2012 at an open house held in conjunction with the provincial Environmental Assessment Office when Ajax finishes answering hundreds of questions from a public-input process that wound up last month. At that time, a scale model of the project might also be available for viewing, though Whittaker said that idea is still up for discussion. To date, Ajax has only released a 3D-video projection of the proposed mine, a presentation that elicited much criticism from some Kamloops councillors and from mine opponents in the community. In the meantime, a companyhosted community workshop is set to take place on Wednesday, April 18, at the Thompson Rivers University Conference Centre — and Whittaker said more will be scheduled in the coming months.

Size still matters for Lincoln

N MANY WAYS, THE 2012 NAVIGATOR IS LINCOLN’S FORGOTTEN SUV. While Ford and Lincoln have been busy turning out new sedans, the only truck in the Lincoln lineup remains the Navigator. With its attention focused elsewhere, Lincoln has had to let the Navigator (pardon the pun) chart its own course. Like the Cadillac Escalade and the Dodge Durango Citadel, the Navigator is aimed at a select clientele who need a large vehicle with a maximum of towing power and cargo space. For them, a pickup truck, no matter if it’s swaddled in leather, just won’t do. With its 5.4-litre V8 engine (310 horsepower, 365 pound-feet of torque), towing up to 3,946 kilograms is a given. A standard six-speed automatic transmission features tow/haul mode that controls the tendency JIM ROBINSON to pick up speed when towing downhill. First On uphill climbs, it helps the DRIVE engine stay in the optimum power range. Also included as standard is trailer-sway control that works with the traction-control system to counteract the trailer from getting out of line. Cargo is another area where the Navigator is hard to beat. There are actually two sets of cargo numbers between the standard Navigator and the stretched Navigator L. The L adds 401 millimetres of length behind the third row seat. Cargo volumes for the Navigator/Navigator L are: Behind first row, 2,925/3,630 litres; behind second row, 1,540/2,444 litres; behind third row, 513/1,206 litres. Navigator comes with a cargo-management system consisting of dividers that keep things like luggage and groceries from rolling around. The 10-way power front seats are both heated and cooled with six temperature settings.

Lincoln Navigator 2012 at a glance Body styleE: Full-size, three-row, premium SUV. Drive method: Front-engine, four-wheel-drive. Engine: 5.4-litre SOHC V8 (310 hp, 365 lb/ft). Fuel economy: (Est.) 16.4/11.3L/100 km (17/25 mpg) city/highway. Tow rating: Navigator/Navigator L, 3,946 kg (8,700 lb)/3,856 kg (8,500 lb). Cargo volume: Navigator/Navigator L: behind first row: 2,925/3,630 litres; behind second row, 1,540/2,444 litres; behind third row, 513/1,206 litres. Price: $73,500; as tested, $77,730 including $1,600 shipping fee. Website: lincolncanada.com. The second-row captain’s chairs recline and have two heat settings. These seats also fold forward to increase cargo area. The third row 60/40 split/fold bench has a power fold function activated by a button on the right cargo wall for each seat. A power tailgate is standard. Up front in the driver’s seat, the amount of space around you is a bit hard to get used to if you come from a compact car. It’s a real reach over to the centre console to turn up the volume, although the functions are all on the steering wheel, as well. One thing I love is the instrument panel, with a truly retro look, capped off by four analog gauges across the top for voltage, fuel level, engine temp and oil temp. I remember when these were standard and I forgot how much more informed I was. Keep the idiot lights and bring back analog! Smack in the middle of the expansive walnut-trimmed centre stack is the infotainment system, with 6.5-inch colour screen. At the core is Ford/Lincoln’s SYNC system developed with Microsoft; voice-activated, it controls functions like cellphone, media and vehicle information. It allows the driver to access phone calls, hear text messages, get playlists/flash drives and even stream music through Bluetooth.

If SYNC senses a call coming in, it lowers the volume so you will hear it. As noted, there isn’t a lot extra you can put into a Navigator — an included power sunroof and remote start being examples. The 2012 tested here starts at $73,500 with special white tri-coat metallic paint costing $500. Listed as a no-charge option is the second-row 40/20/40 leather bench seat. Part of the package is load-levelling rear suspension. But, with the big engine comes a big environmental green levy of $2,000. X See ENGINE A14

AUTOMARKET Nissan takes DeltaWing to Europe for tests

EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

American Racers group in California, Panoz’s EMT organization were put to work this week to fine tune components and bodywork — using the lessons learned from the initial shakedown test at Buttonwillow in California and the Sebring test to refine the Nissan DeltaWing mobile experiment. Like Gurney’s All American Racers group, Elan has a win-

Nissan is not only providing the 1.6-litre turbocharged engine for the DeltaWing. Nissan technical personnel have been embedded within the DeltaWing team since the manufacturer first became involved and

AUTOMARKET

Engine runs smoothly Adding it all up, the as-tested price was $77,730, which includes a $1,600 shipping fee. It’s a long way up into the cabin but it’s helped by the power deployable running boards that fold down when a door is opened and tuck up automatically when the door is closed. Once in the driver’s seat, you are struck by the size of the outside mirrors. In the upper outside corner of each mirror is a smaller concave mirror that gives a much wider rearward field of view. The engine starts with a big V8 whoosh. The six-speed automatic is so seamless in shifting you are never quite sure what gear you are in. It’s only when you tromp the pedal does it shift more aggressively — but you don’t want to do it too often. Fuel consumption is estimated at 16.4/11.3L/100 km (17/25 mpg) city/highway, but it will only be the feather-footed who get this kind of mileage. Helping this out a bit is a fuel-shutoff system that automatically starts working when the Navigator is running at cruising speeds. The Navigator is also a certified flex-fuel vehicle, which means it can run on E85, which is 85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent gasoline. This, of course, primarily helps our American cousins, where E85 is available. This is not the case in Canada. The four-wheel-drive on the Navigator is Ford’s rock-solid control-trac system found in a wide variety of Ford working trucks. Selectable by buttons on the centre stack, picking a traction mode to match the terrain is

simple. My week with the Navigator was strictly around town. For such a big truck, it was easy to park, partly because of the commanding view forward from the driver’s seat, standard rearview camera and reverse sensing system. To try and park in a cramped apartment building underground would be a challenge. It would be easy to dismiss the Lincoln Navigator, along with all the big premium SUVs, as creatures of a time before gasoline started averaging $1.30 a litre, instead of touching that amount just five years ago when we all went nuts. But, on a recent trip to Phoenix to test a compact SUV, I counted dozens of Navigators and Escalades, all brand new and all with extras like huge wheels. There is still a market for a full-size premium SUV — and, with all it’s got going for it, maybe the 2012 Navigator shouldn’t be Lincoln’s forgotten SUV.

EXPERIENCE LIFE ACROSS ALL TERRAIN

Two of the finest British names have joined forces for a unique project: Winner Sport, the ultimate lightweight driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoe. Co-designed by Aston Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of design, Marek Reichman, and John Lobbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative director, Andres Hernandez, this sleek aerodynamic shoe, with its finely tuned detailing, speaks to the world of the automobile yet sits

comfortably within the John Lobb collection. Winner Sport embodies the style, craftsmanship and quality for which both brands are celebrated the world over. Crafted around John Lobbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8695 last, Winner Sport is made from full-grain calfskin and lined with supple sheepskin. Soft padding has been added at the ankle for comfort and metallic eyelets, punched

with a wheel of fine holes, reflect the automotive design cues of Aston Martin. Unlike the more formal, welted John Lobb shoes, Winner Sport is

created with a specially engineered bonded rubber sole that wraps beneath the shoe, giving a sleek line and a sporting feel. Winner Sport is

Miller gets house arrest By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Adrian Miller is a free man — sort of. After spending nearly a month behind bars, the Thompson Rivers University student-senator has pleaded guilty to a string of charges has been handed 125 days of house arrest, to be followed by a two-year probation term. The Crown had been seeking a five-month jail sentence. Miller’s house arrest includes exceptions for work and school, but his status as a student at TRU remains in limbo. When contacted by KTW, Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vicepresident of advancement, said officials at the school have been notified of the sentence and were likely to meet on Monday, April 16. Miller, who was elected to TRU’s senate and board of governors in December, had been facing a total of 11 criminal charges — five for breach, two each for theft and possession of stolen property, one for mis-

chief and the most recent for fraud under $5,000. Three of the breach charges are from last fall, while the other two offences are alleged to have taken place in February. Also in February, Miller was arrested and charged with multiple counts of theft and possession of stolen property, as well as mischief. The Crown alleges he stole electronics and jewelry from his Pineview Valley landlords, pawning a number of the items and hiding others in his basement suite. The mischief charge stems from an incident just prior to Miller’s arrest, in which he is alleged to have made a false burglary report to police. The most recent charge, one of fraud under $5,000, dates back to March 11. On that date, Miller is alleged to have entered the Real Canadian Superstore and returned items he had not purchased. He pleaded guilty to an amended list of charges covering the same facts. Miller addressed the

court on his own prior to sentencing. Following the submissions, Kamloops provincial court Judge Hermann Rohrmoser began reading his sentence. He got as far as “conditional sentence order” before Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone jumped out of her chair. Rohrmoser had not allowed Firestone to respond to Miller’s submissions, which included statements ranging from

Kamloops Dodge Chrysler Jeep is pleased to Welcome Back

the lack of “afro picks” at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to the embarrassment he’s been subject to as a result of the media’s coverage of his proceedings. After Firestone replied, Rohrmoser continued with the same sentence. Miller has a lawsuit outstanding against TRU, alleging the school has been negligent in its dealings with him.

From Kamloops to Jeopardy By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

This Kamloops trivia buff has become one of a small number of Canadians to appear on the TV game show Jeopardy. Answer: Who is Mike Garrett? A trivia night team leader and former newspaper editor, Garrett is used to being hit up by friends and co-workers for word spellings, names, dates and miscellaneous facts. But, when Garrett first decided to try out for Alex Trebek’s longrunning quiz show, he wasn’t much of a Jeopardy fan. That changed when he filled out an online quiz for the show and landed in an audition pool in 2009. Since then, Garrett has watched upwards of 800 episodes, scoresheet in hand and a finger on the pause button — the at-home version of a game show buzzer. “If I knew an answer, I would pause the tape and I’d say it out loud because you have to get used to that,” Garrett said. Watching the show also helped him figure out what kind of questions were likely to come up and where to focus his energies. “It’s too daunting to say, ‘I’m going to read the Bible,’ or ‘I’m going to read this massive biography of World War Two or something,’” he said. “If it’s Napoleon, you need to know his wife was Josephine and he was exiled on an island, for example. “You can kind of know what they’re going to ask from what they’ve asked before.” The more Garrett played, the easier it was to figure out where the gaps in his knowledge were. “I was an English major and I though I knew my Shakespeare pretty well, and then discovered it was actually pretty spotty,” he said. Other categories, like movies, sports, geography and current affairs, were already in his wheelhouse.

Mike Garrett of Kamloops will appear on the April 23 episode of Jeopardy, but cannot reveal how he did. “I, of course, remember all the things I got wrong and I remember how deep in the hole I got at the beginning. That’s about all I can really tell you.” Dave Eagles/KTW

Two years into his preparation, Garrett’s time in the audition pool expired, requiring him to restart the process. After taking the online test again in August, he was in studio by December 20, 2011, part of a day of filming that created a week’s worth of shows. While he is barred from saying much about his episode before its April 23 air date, Garrett said most of the filming is a blur at this point anyway.

“It happens in the blink of an eye, really,” he said. “I, of course, remember all the things I got wrong and I remember how deep in the hole I got at the beginning. “That’s about all I can really tell you.” Though his competitive moment is over, the experience has had at least one lasting effect: The occasional game-show watcher has become a dedicated Jeopardy buff. “It’s something that’s

got in my blood,” Garret said. “Lately, I’ve been doing it just to see if my body of knowledge is still sharp. “It’s become a thing, like an addiction, really.”

LOCAL NEWS

Health alert linked to frozen berries People who have consumed uncooked Pomeberry Blend frozen berries manufactured by Western Family since April 5 may be eligible to receive a dose of hepatitis A vaccine. The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), regional health authorities and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) have been investigating five cases of hepatitis A in people who have consumed Pomeberry Blend frozen fruit. On Thursday, April 5 the BCCDC warned the public to not consume Pomeberry Blend frozen berries and to discard them. The CFIA issued a food recall on the same day. There is now addi-

tional laboratory information that has confirmed a link to four of the cases. The BCCDC said the overall risk to the public is very low. However, if people have consumed uncooked Pomeberry Blend frozen fruit since April 5 and have not previously received two doses of hepatitis A vaccine or had hepatitis A disease, they are eligible to receive hepatitis A vaccine. For further details on how to obtain the vaccine, people should contact their local public health unit. The blend contains frozen pomegranate seeds, blueberries, strawberries and cherries. No frozen products other than the Pomeberry Blend from Western Family

Burst

are a concern at this time. The product has been distributed to Save-On-Foods, Price Smart and affiliated Overwaitea stores. The CFIA recall and product image is available online at http:// www.inspection.gc.ca. Hepatitis A is a preventable disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus, which can last from a few weeks to several months. It does not lead to chronic infection. After the hepatitis A virus enters your body, it can take from 15 to 50 days before you feel sick. The symptoms can be so mild that people may not be aware they have been infected with hepatitis A.

Students learn some cold hard street truths By Jessica Wallace SPECIAL TO KTW

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com dit @k l thi k

ANHANDLING PAYS BETTER THAN JOURNALISM. At least it did for my classmate, Jason Perry, and me when we panhandled downtown for one hour and made $27. It was part of an ongoing assignment in our political-reporting journalism class to pick a subject and follow it throughout the semester. I had picked the issue of homelessness; Jason offered to help with this part of the assignment. Jason had let his beard grow out and I put on shabby clothes and backcombed my hair. We made a sign and mangled it to appear old, then sat in front of a no-soliciting sign beside the Kamloops Inn with an old coffee cup. We found a nook to hide from the wind, but it may have hidden us too well. We felt shy at first and just sat hoping people would acknowledge us. That didn’t work. A few people walked by as we settled into our discomfort. One man smiled; the others ignored us. As we headed toward a more active spot — the corner of Victoria Street and Third Avenue in front of McDonald’s — I approached a woman to ask her outright for money. “Ma’am, do you have any spare change? We are just trying to catch a Greyhound home,” I said to the stylish middle-aged woman plugging coins into a parking meter. She looked at me, put her head down, turned around and walked away.

Some offered to help, others just walked on by X From A21

Jason had been watching in the reflection of a store window. “That was the coldest thing I have ever seen,” he said. It felt cold. I was disappointed. We settled outside McDonald’s, holding the sign and asking people for change. Reactions varied. “We are all cold and hungry,” one man said in reaction to what was written on our sign. True, we thought — but maybe we were just more cold and more hungry? The first person to give us money had just come out of McDonald’s. She was drinking a smoothie and turned and stared at me for a few seconds after I asked her for change. She emptied her pocket — right down to the pennies. I felt so grateful, not only for the change, but for some kind of sympathy she clearly had for us. She didn’t just ignore us and walk by — she looked me in the eyes and felt the need to empty her pockets. Many people, maybe 30 or 40, passed us in that hour. Four or five people donated money. One man went to his car to get a $5 bill. One woman walked by, then came back with a $10 bill and a bunch of change. One man came up to us and said: “You aren’t from around here, are you?” We said we were from Ontario. He told us about a hostel down the road where we could get free food and shelter. He said he would take us there because he was on his way. We went with the flow and walked with him toward the the New Life Mission. As we spoke with him, we learned he was a drug

dealer who had just got out of jail in Calgary. With several factors going through our heads — including our cover story not being solid enough, safety risks and messing up our experiment — we decided to head back to our spot at McDonald’s and parted ways. It felt reassuring, however, that someone offered to help us in a constructive way. Jason played some guitar and we continued to ask for money. An older lady with big jewelry and bright lipstick stopped in front of us. She reached down into the cart she was pushing. A tiny dog sat in the cart and the lady had reached down to tuck the dog in with a pink fluffy blanket. It made me think of something Ken Salter, outreach co-ordinator at ASK Wellness, had said. “A guy could lay in an alley all afternoon. “You put an unconscious dog in the alley and people would be on their cellphones in 15 minutes. “That guy would be there all day. They’re invisible.” Overall, we found people were either generous or just ignored us altogether. The people who donated gave whatever they had. A few said sorry, walked by — and I respected the humanity. We packed up and walked to a nearby cafe to get some tea. People stared, but we just wanted shelter from the cold. We were thankful and fortunate to be going home, somewhere warm. The money we made was donated to St. Vincent de Paul. It has a program that provides free breakfast for women and children on Saturdays. Members of the Holy Family parish volunteer there every Saturday. On March 17, my family, members of the parish, were helping out so the money raised was used to buy groceries that day.

THE WITNESS D Daughter of a controlling mother, Elizabeth Ànally let mo loose one night, drinking lo at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that ffollowed changed her life forever. Twelve years later, the woman known as Abigail Lowery lives on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she designs sophisticated security systems—and supplements her own security with a Àerce dog and aan assortment of Àrearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. But Abigail’s reserve only intrigues police chief Brooks Gleason. Her logical mind, her secretive nature, and her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated.

Colin Day remembered for his Blazer passion Former Kamloops Blazers’ president Colin Day died on the weekend. He was 72 when he succumbed to ongoing health problems. Day served as the WHL club’s president from 1987 to 2003 — presiding over the team during its run of three Memorial Cups. “He put a lot of hard work and a lot of years into the Blazers,” said Craig Bonner, the

club’s general manager. “He was very dedicated to the team.” Day was chairman of the Riverside Coliseum — now Interior Savings Centre — fundraising committee and was the Blazers’ president through the championship years and into the early 2000s, which signalled the beginning of the club’s toughest run on and off the ice. Day was preceded in the

president’s role by Gary Cooper. Case van Diemen and Murray Owen occupied the president’s role after Day’s tenure. Day was chairman of the University College of the Cariboo Sports Task Force for about 20 years. He also helped raise funds for the Kamloops Wildlife Park. “He initiated the desire to build the new rink,” said Murray

Owen, who served on the team’s board of directors from 2005 to 2010 and who, like Day, was a founding member of the Kamloops Blazers Sports Society in 1984. “That’s a huge, huge benefit to the city, in terms of our sporting identity,” Owen said, adding that, without Interior Savings Centre, the Tournament Capital program might not exist and certainly wouldn’t have been as successful.

The Kamloops Blazers had planned to honour Day prior to last night’s (April 16) playoff game against the visiting Portland Winterhawks. Kamloops city council is also expected to honour Day in some form at today’s regular council meeting, which begins at 1 p.m. at city hall. A memorial service is being planned for Friday, April 20, with time and location to be announced.

The Vibe opened pool play against the Saskatoon Tazers on Friday, April 13, skating to a 3-3 tie. Scoring for the Vibe on the weekend were Gaylene Smith (4G, 6A), Rochelle Smith (4G, 3A), Emily Edmundson (4G, 2A), Jenna Ormondy (3G, 3A), Alyssa Reid (1G, 5A), Desiree Blair (1G 1A), Kayla Keeping

BC VIEWS

Environmentalism for dummies David Suzuki resigned from his foundation — so what? AVID SUZUKI HAS RESIGNED AS A DIRECTOR OF HIS NAMESAKE FOUNDATION SO IT WON’T BE THE TARGET OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT “ATTACKS.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: TOM FLETCHER Suzuki is a saint. His every Our Man in utterance is VICTORIA treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s envi-

ro-scare industry: First, salmon farming and, now, the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked. This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And, he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions, as well? This news comes as I finish reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing and then turned to the regime’s slaughter of whales. In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family chinook

ELIZABETH (ELSIE) MARY

WOODD Sept 3, 1921 - April 8, 2012

Elsie was born in Erpatak, Hungary and came to Canada at 3 years of age. Survived by her nine children: Jim Valachy of Sorrento, Betty Aspeslet of Kamloops, Mary McMurray of Kamloops, Ron Woodd of Ottawa, Don (Karen) Woodd of Calgary, Bonnie (Lorne) Dunn of Kamloops, Connie (Ray) Bonner of Cobble Hill, Len (Irene) Woodd of Kamloops, Debbie Woodd of Kamloops. Predeceased by her husbands, Michael in 1949 and Alfred in 1991. Elsie was matriarch of 5 generations, and is survived by 17 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and 14 great great grandchildren. A service and tribute will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday April 21, 2012 at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, BC. Flowers at the service are welcome or a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society. Interment at Hillside Cemetery at 11:00 AM on Monday, April 23, 2012, for all family members wishing to attend.

salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell. This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in pulp mills. Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But, the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims

CHERYL GAYLE JEANNOTTE (Nee Aasen) 1947 – 2012 It is with deep sadness that the family of Cheryl Gayle Jeannotte announces her sudden passing in her home on April 11, 2012 at the age of 64 years. She is survived by her loving husband of 45 years Dennis, son Shaun and daughter Alesha. Also left to cherish her memory are her brothers Odin (Bonnie) and Brian (Jan), brother in law Brian (Marjorie) and sister in law Charlaine (Cliff) in addition to many nieces and nephews. Cheryl was predeceased by her parents John and Esther Aasen, sister Darlene, brother Victor and nephew Terry. Born August 19, 1947 in Edam, Saskatchewan. Cheryl grew up in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. She met the love of her life Dennis there in 1965 and the two married on March 11, 1967. Cheryl became a hairdresser shortly after they moved to Kamloops in 1969. Cheryl had aspirations to start a family and in 1978 she was blessed with her son Shaun followed by her daughter Alesha in 1983. She devoted herself to her family and her kids’ activities, volunteering and spending many hours watching hockey, lacrosse, ball hockey and other sports.

were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted LEED certification for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 Great Bear Rainforest agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business.

You are never far from our thoughts and are always in our hearts.

Cheryl opened up her heart and her home to many foreign exchange students from Japan and China over the years, showing them love and support when they were so far from home. Cheryl loved to travel and was fortunate to see much of the world on her many trips and cruises with Dennis. In her later few years, Cheryl devoted many hours of volunteer work at the Ponderosa Respite, something she was very passionate about.

Road to

Spring Edition 2012

Honda: Answering the world’s needs If you stop in at your Honda dealership, you will notice there is quite an array of vehicles on offer. There are plenty of choices for customers wanting efficient transportation, comfort and performance, all while respecting the environment. If Honda’s smallest car is the versatile Fit, its most popular product remains the recently redesigned Civic. Though it has been completely redone, the Civic retains its original silhouette and is still available as a front-wheel drive sedan, coupe, the sporty Si or the environmentally friendly hybrid. Honda also offers a dedicated hybrid-electric car called the Insight. This small hatchback, based on the Fit platform, uses a tiny 1.3-litre, fourcylinder engine combined with an electric motor that develops 98 horsepower and that provides real fuel economy. Honda’s success also relies upon the popular Accord, a front-wheel driven

mid-sized car offered as a coupe or a sedan. It can be powered by a thrifty four-cylinder engine or a more powerful V-6. A redesigned but recognizable version is coming soon. There is a also stationwagon-like version of the car, called the Crosstour. Recognized as a practical crossover, this car can be powered by a V-6 engine or by the recently announced four-cylinder. It can come as a front- or all-wheel drive. If you are looking for a snappy two-seater sports car, you’ll want to see the great looking CR-Z with hybrid power. For light-truck fans, Honda dealers are proud to announce the arrival of the redesigned CR-V, with front- or all-wheel drive. It will join such great Honda trucks as the slightly retouched Pilot, the recently redone Odyssey minivan, and the original Ridgeline pickup/SUV. Note that Honda also builds more luxurious and

What’s your colour? With the right lighting, everything else falls into place. The interior lighting in the all-new Ford Fusion proves that out. It moves beyond simple functionality. Ford researchers realize a person’s attention span is limited — and lighting can play a key role in providing a driver with critical and noncritical driving-related information without diverting attention. Developing the ice-blue colour available in the ambient, or accent, lighting palette was critical, since it is a shade that can help keep drivers and passengers more alert. This makes it easier for a driver to absorb all the other messages coming from inside the vehicle. So, it’s not your imagination — colour can affect how you feel. In fact, it affects everything from your buying choices to your blood pressure. For example: • There are shades of yellow that stimulate parts of the brain, bringing clear-headed, decisive action • Green, on the other hand, affects the nervous system, causing us to breathe slowly and deeply, helping the heart to relax by slowing the production of stress hormones • Red — arguably the most attention getting of colours — likely will evoke the strongest emotions, be that passion or anger On the Ford Fusion, the palette is ice blue, purple, blue, orange, red, white and green. The palette allows the customer to set and change each colour, depending on wants and needs.

sporty cars under the name Acura. Expect a redesigned version of the smaller RDX to come soon, as well as the return of the legendary NSX sports car. Honda products are well-appreciated by motorists.

Cadillac offers something for everyone For years, Cadillac has been known as the great American brand of cars. While it no longer produces those huge limousines of the past, the carmaker has adapted its products to today’s needs and requirements. The most popular Cadillac on the market now is the popular CTS, a more compact sedan, coupe or a slick-looking station wagon. Powered by a thrifty V-6 engine, it comes standard with rear-wheel drive. Keep in mind there is not only a more powerful V-6 in the options catalogue, there is also a 556-horsepower

V-8 in the V performance version. An all-wheel drive configuration can be ordered with the V-6 engines. Cadillac has just unveiled its new and smaller ATS compact car, which should, with time, be able to compete with European cars like the 3 Series BMWs. On the other hand, though Cadillac has dropped its DTS and STS sedans, it will soon be offering loyal customers the XTS sedan, new and bigger than the CTS. Recently, Cadillac surprised a lot of people by introducing a redesigned

SRX crossover. This sensibly sized SUV is delivered with a 306-horsepower, 3.6-litre, V-6 engine. The once-touted turbo V-6 is no more. The beautiful SRX comes with front- or all-wheel drive configuration. Last, but not least, Cadillac still markets the mighty Escalade SUV. It is powered by a 403-horsepower V-8 or by a smaller hybrid-electric V-8 with 332-horsepower, the latter available only with the standard-sized wagon, not in the transformable pickup or extended versions.

Still, there are not many models in that lineup — only three — but all are offered in many variations that make the brand attractive. The most significant vehicle to represent Chrysler has to be the mighty 300 sedan.

Already an icon in the industry, the 300 was slightly redesigned over the last few months. It is available in many versions, powered by a great new V-6 engine that is now available with an eight-speed automatic transmission or with one of the HEMI V-8s,

$ including the 470-horsepower version found under the hood of the SRT-8. The 200 replaces the older Sebring, not only as a sedan but also as a beautiful convertible that is available with a rigid roof (the same car is sold as a Lancia in Europe). Its base four-cylinder engine can be coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, the same one that comes with the powerful Pentastar V-6 engine. Finally, the biggest Chrysler available remains the impressive Town & Country, one of the bestselling minivans in the world. Recently improved, it now sports a new and betterappointed interior. Only one engine is available under the hood of this front-wheel drive, the 283horsepower Pentastar V-6 — but it does not need more.

Spring Edition 2012 ®

ULTIMATE FLY AND DRIVE The Transition Roadable Aircraft, developed by Terrafugia, Inc., made its auto-show debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show earlier this month. People got to see the street-legal vehicle’s wing’s fold up and meet some of the staff who designed the Transition, as well as watch a video of the Transition flying — and driving on the road. Terrafugia’s mission is to design and deliver revolutionary, practical air and land vehicles that provide freedom, flexibility and fun to their loyal customers.

GMC: A brand in itself For the longest time, GMC was considered a professional truck brand. But, since General Motors, owner of the GMC brand, stopped making medium- and heavy-duty trucks, the company had to find itself a new vocation. Consequently, GMC began to offer people-movers in its lineup. While everyone is waiting for the upcoming Granite compact CUV to hit the market, the smallest vehicle your GMC dealer can offer you is the tough-looking Terrain. This is a mid-sized crossover, similar to the Chevrolet Equinox, which is powered by a four-cylinder engine or a V-6. It can be ordered with front- or all-wheel drive. Following this successful light truck is the bigger Acadia, also front- or all-wheel drive, that can carry up to eight passengers. This family friendly crossover, available in the luxury Denali trim, can pull up to 2,363 kilograms. GMC’s largest

SUV remains the impressive Yukon, available as a big station wagon or a longer XL version. The Yukon can be bought as a hybrid with a short body or as a luxurious Denali model. Where GMC excels is in the pickup segment. Its smallest offering remains the well-designed Canyon, but a lot of people go for the full-sized Sierra, available in many sizes and trims, including a unique hybrid version. The Sierra is also offered in the more luxurious Denali trims or as a more robust HD version. With the HD, it is possible to order a strong diesel engine. And last, but not least, let’s not forget that GMC still produces the classic commercial delivery van, the Savana.

Drive smart, save gas

Jeep keeps growing in popularity Jeep used to be a brand of SUV vehicles aimed at people who needed them for work. Sometimes they were used for off-road play, but that wasn’t the standard. Today, although Jeeps still are capable off-road utility vehicles, they are widely appreciated as fun city vehicles. Chrysler, the company that makes Jeeps, has been busy improving the lineup, giving the vehicles better road handling, more elaborate and luxurious interiors, and more efficient powertrains. Jeep designers have gone back to the drawing board and redesigned the front end of the least expensive model, the Compass. Resembling a smaller Grand Cherokee, with its redone interior it has climbed a few notches in the brand’s hierarchy. Fans will also enjoy the

off-road capabilities of the Trail Rated models. Its almost-twin brother, the Patriot, is also back with a few minor changes, as is the mid-sized Liberty. The biggest news is that the ever popular Wrangler

now comes standard with the Pentastar V-6 engine. It is not only more powerful than the older V-6 it replaces, it is also more economical. The Grand Cherokee, too, is back this year, still

available in the high-performance SRT8 version with a HEMI engine pumping out some 470 horsepower. Another great piece of Jeep news is that the diesel engine will also be available.

With no end in sight to rising gas prices, consumers who modify their driving habits and properly maintain their vehicles will get more kilometres per litre. Be Car Care Aware Canada recommends the following ways to drive smart and save gas money: • Observe the speed limit. Fuel efficiency decreases rapidly above 100 km/h. • Avoid excessive idling. Idling gets zero kilometres per litre. Warming up the vehicle for one or two minutes is sufficient. • Avoid quick starts and stops. Aggressive driving can lower fuel efficiency by 33 per cent on the highway and five per cent in the city. • Consolidate trips. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much gas as one longer multi-purpose trip. • Don’t haul unneeded items in the trunk. An extra 45 kilograms in the trunk reduces fuel efficiency by one to two per cent. • Check the gas cap. Damaged, loose or missing gas caps allow gas to vaporize into the air. • Replace dirty or clogged air filters on older vehicles to improve fuel efficiency by as much as 14 per cent. • Replace dirty spark plugs, which can decrease fuel efficiency by .85 kilometres per litre. • Change oil regularly to gain an additional .5 kilometres per litre. • Keep your car properly tuned to improve fuel consumption by an average of four per cent. • Keep tires properly inflated and improve fuel consumption by three per cent.

Buick — the great American brand is back When General Motors had to eliminate some brands during its reorganization, many feared that Buick would be a casualty — thank heavens, it wasn’t. As a matter of fact, it is back in better shape than ever. And did you know that Buick was also among China’s favourite brand of cars? Buick now offers four vehicles in its lineup, with a fifth model coming out soon. The biggest car on offer is a great looking full-sized sedan, called the LaCrosse. This four-door, front-wheel drive is powered by a base 182-horsepower, four-cylinder engine

that now comes with the stop-start technology. That means that when the car is stopped at a traffic light, its engine shuts off and restarts automatically when the driver takes his or her foot off the brake pedal. A V-6 engine is still available. The mid-sized Buick is called the Regal. Also a frontwheel drive, it only comes with a four-cylinder engine, but the Turbo GS version develops some 270 horsepower. This is quite a sports sedan. Incidentally, this great-looking car is based on a German GM product. The smallest car Buick has to offer right now is the highly styled Verano compact sedan. Though it shares its basic structure with the Chevrolet Cruze, all resemblance stops there. The Verano is powered by a bigger and more powerful four-cylinder engine and its interior is far more luxurious. Buick dealers also offer the now well-known Enclave crossover, the brand’s biggest vehicle, powered by a V-6 engine and available with front- or all-wheel drive. It will soon be joined by the recently unveiled smaller crossover, the Encore.

Kia makes amazing vehicles Amazing! There are no other words to describe Kia’s newest additions to the market. Have you seen them? They now have a design you would never expect to see on such reasonably priced cars. Even though they have a million-dollar look, they still are among the most affordable vehicles in the country. Kia’s lineup begins with the small Rio, a recently redesigned subcompact car available as a coupe or a five-door hatchback. It sure doesn’t look like a typical small car. Then comes the uniquelooking Soul, a little CUV with a redesigned front end and a now more powerful four-cylinder engine. The Forte is next — and it’s still available as a coupe (aptly called the Koup) or a sedan. Add to that a new fivedoor hatchback version. The most-interesting surprise from Kia has to be the all-new Optima. This mid-sized frontwheel drive sedan is the product of designer Peter Schreyer, who comes to Kia from a German auto manufacturer. He is also responsible for the smaller Rio’s and Kia’s new design approach. The Optima is available with a regular four-cylinder

front- or all-wheel drive. The Sportage comes with one of two four-cylinder engines (one of them is turbocharged), while the Sorento is offered with a four-cylinder engine or a more powerful V-6. Kia still has a big minivan in its line-up, the impressive Sedona.

Road to

Spring Edition 2012 The Dodge Journey is a popular crossover vehicle.

Ford’s lineup surprises automotive market If there is a brand that has really taken the market by surprise, it has to be Ford. This North American manufacturer has been unveiling so many new cars that people are amazed. The smallest Ford right now is the modern-looking Fiesta, a vehicle that has made it around the world. It is followed by the compact Focus, another international vehicle available as an electric car. The popular Fusion sedan has just been unveiled with a new and exciting design and it is still available as a hybrid or with all-wheel drive. Ford’s biggest car remains the Taurus, also available with all-wheel drive and even as a sporty SHO model. The Taurus is now offered with a thrifty four-cylinder engine. And, of course, we cannot ignore the almighty Mustang sports car. Looking at what Ford dealers can offer its customers within the SUV-CUV segment, it begins with the new C-Max mini-

van-type vehicle, marketed with a hybrid or plug-in electric configuration. It continues with the redesigned Escape, which is about to hit our market. There is also the popular Edge (now with an optional fourcylinder engine), the recent Explorer (with the same optional four-cylinder engine) and the bigger Flex, with its redesigned front-end. Motorists in the market for a light truck will find the F-150, with its popular and economical V-6 engines, or one of its rugged Super Duty versions. Professionals in need of a little van will enjoy the amazing Transit Connect (and its electric version) or the more traditional E-Series, still popularly called the Econoline. Ford dealers in Canada also sell Lincoln products, including the affordable MKZ (available as an hybrid), the bigger MKS, the MKX crossover, the uniquely designed MKT wagon, and the mighty Navigator traditional SUV.

Passat, the all-new North American Volkswagen Not only is the 2012 Volkswagen Passat new and redesigned, it is now built right here in North America, in Chattanooga, Tenn. The German-based manufacturer intends to make this car a major competitor to many popular cars such as the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord and the Ford Fusion. Motorists interested in the mid-sized, front-wheel drive Passat have the choice between three engines: A standard 2.5-litre, five-cylinder powerplant, an economical 2.0-litre, turbodiesel four-cylinder, or a more powerful 3.6-litre V-6. The choice of transmissions ranges from a fivespeed manual to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, including a six-speed manual or more conventional automatic transmission. Thanks to its generous interior, the new Passat can

Journey: Dodge’s best crossover vehicle The mid-sized Dodge Journey crossover was highly revised and eagerly received by car buyers early last year. It has been carried over into 2012, but the improvements are still worth taking a look at. In fact, the Journey is the best-selling vehicle of its category in Canada. It’s no wonder, since it is available in so many models, some with front-wheel drive, others with all-wheel drive systems. The base engine remains the economical 2.4-litre, inline four-cylinder engine. The already legendary Pentastar 3.6-litre, V-6 engine is offered as an option in some versions or as a standard choice in high value models such as the

Nissan’s completely redone Versa Japanese automaker Nissan is definitely not resting on its laurels. As part of its regular restyling program, it was recently the small Versa’s turn to be redone. Consequently, we now have a curvier Versa than ever before. Changes have been brought in on the sedan version of the car, with a revamped hatchback expected soon. It may not appear to the naked eye, but the most recent Versa uses a new platform that increases interior room, making the car slightly bigger than its predecessor. Even the engine was revamped, with the 1.6-litre, four-cylinder powerplant developing a healthy 109 horsepower. While some motorists will choose the five-speed manual transmission, the optional CVT automatic transmission (meaning “continuously variable transmission,” a solution

Ninth-generation Civic redesigned adopted by Nissan for most of its vehicles) should deliver even better fuel economy. This small Nissan has some heavy competition on the market, but we are sure it will rise to the occasion. The redesigned 2012 Nissan Versa has a lot of room to offer.

Incredible: the Honda Civic has been with us since 1973. Now, for 2012, the Japanese manufacturer is launching the ninth generation of its popular compact car. Yes, though it still looks like a Civic, it is completely new. What has not changed is the option of a sedan or coupe, and the Civic is still powered by an economical four-cylinder engine combined with a front-wheel drive. The 2012 Civic is available with a base 1.8-litre, four-cylinder mill that develops 140 horsepower or as a sportier 2.4-litre, four-cylinder engine that pumps out 201 horsepower. And, yes, the Hybrid version of the

Mazda’s new philosophy starts with the CX-5 Japanese car maker Mazda is evolving its manufacturing philosophy, which it now calls SkyActiv. This change is reflected

in the company’s new engines, transmissions, suspension, brakes, steering mechanisms and structures. The small Mazda3 car does offer one of the new

engines and transmissions, but it is the all-new Mazda CX-5 small crossover — accompanying the bigger CX-7 and CX-9 — that will show off the full

new approach. The CX-5 also replaces the older Tribute SUV and has a much more modern design. The CX-5 uses the base 2.0-litre, in-line fourcylinder engine from the new SkyActiv engineering approach. It also uses one of the two new SkyActiv transmissions, a manual or an automatic, both with

six speeds. The CX-5 is available with front- or all-wheel drive. The all-new CX-5 will have to compete against some of the most-popular vehicles on the market in one of the most popular segments, that of the compact SUV-CUV which includes players like the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Kia Sportage.

Have home, will travel

HEN IT COMES to recreational vehicles, there is something to suit every taste, from basic models to truly luxurious ones. This type of vehicle is considered a second home: There is enough room to store clothing, products, accessories and groceries, which means you can finally travel without spending hours searching through suitcases. If you would like to take your home with you when you travel, here is an idea of what is available: • The largest of the motorized recreational vehicles is the Class A motorhome. This is the ideal representation of a travelling home. They come with every convenience: A kitchen area, a bathroom, one or two bedrooms, a living area and storage space. They are equipped with propane

systems, electricity, lighting, heating and air conditioning and have sliding extensions for additional space. The advantage of these vehicles is their smooth drive, which makes travelling that much more agreeable. • A mini-motorhome, or a Class

C, has all the same conveniences as the Class A, but on a smaller scale and at a lower cost. They are generally built on the chassis of a small commercial truck and look a bit like a mini-bus. • Finally, the Class B is the smallest of the motorhomes. Built on the chassis of a normal

van, to which a raised roof has been added, this model also has all of the necessary conveniences for a camping trip or for when you’re waiting for your favourite team outside a stadium. In addition to mobile recreational vehicles, park models and stationary trailers can be found on

the market. These are second homes, often seasonal, although some of them can be lived in year-round. Often made to measure, according to the specific needs of the client, they are generally in a fixed place or can be moved with the help of a special tow truck.

You’ve arrived — it’s time to set up your camp RVers are some of the friendliest, most helpful people you will ever meet. Don’t be surprised if you pull into your site and your neighbour, whom you never met, is right there to assist you with hooking up, levelling and offering advice. Never be afraid to ask for help — everyone was a first-timer at one time. RVers often ask to tour your RV if it’s a model they are unfamiliar with and, likewise, will invite you in to see theirs. If you’re new to RV camping, at checkin, ask if the campground provides an escort service for first-timers. A seasoned staffer will guide you to your site and assist you in getting parked and levelled. Determine if you need to back in or if it is a pull-through site. Know where your water, electrical and sewer hookups are on your RV. Position the RV so you have easy access to the hookups on the site. Survey your assigned site. Be sure there are no low-hanging branches or other obstacles that will interfere with the RV.

If you have a slideout or awning, be sure there is room on either side for those to fully extend. Once you are positioned properly, apply the parking brake if you have a motorhome (as a safety precaution, slideouts will not operate if the parking brake is not engaged). The ground is not always flat, so level your RV as necessary, using blocks or stabilizing jacks if your RV is equipped with them. Chock the wheels securely to keep the RV stable on the site. If you are in a towable RV, disconnect the unit from the tow vehicle and stabilize the trailer hitch. Manually pull the entry steps out or, if yours are electronic, turn the switch off so the steps stay out when the door is closed. (Don’t forget to turn the switch back on before leaving or to pull up your steps before driving away.) If you have slideouts, remove the travel locks or brace bars. Whenever you are operating slideouts, keep all windows closed for safety and have

someone on the outside watch for people, clearance and obstacles in its path. Plug the electrical shore power cord into the campsite receptacle that matches the amperage requirements of your RV. Electrical adapters may be needed, but keep extension-cord use to a minimum. Switch your refrigerator to the AC setting to draw on the electricity rather than your propane. Always use a white potable RV drinkingwater hose. Attach it to the tank on the side of your unit and run the other end to the campground water supply. Turn on the water and check for any leaks. When you are hooked up to a water supply, you don’t need the 12-volt water pump, only the pump to draw water from the fresh water tank when an external source is not available. If you have sewer service at your site, wear latex gloves to remove the cap from the sewer hose valve and attach the sewer hose to the sewer drain outlet.

Be sure to turn it so the locking tabs securely lock in place. Place the sewer-hose seal in the campground sewer connection. Attach the other end of the sewer hose in the seal and securely connect. Prop a rock or sewer hose support under the hose to create a slight slope from the RV down to the sewer connection so everything drains smoothly. If you are hooked to a sewer connection, you can open the gray water tank valve to allow sink and shower water to drain directly into the sewer. It is the smaller of the two valves. Never leave the black water tank valve open. Turn the main LP gas supply valve on at the tank or bottles. Now it’s time to set up the exterior of your home away from home. Put an outdoor carpet mat down if you have one. Set up the lawn chairs. Put the awning out per the manufacturer’s instructions — be sure to close and secure your awning if storms or winds are expected.

Easy riding

ERTAIN SKILLS HAVE TO BE MASTERED IN ORDER TO DRIVE A MOTORCYCLE.

The pleasure of driving on two wheels must be combined with flawless safety practices. After all, the smallest of errors can be fatal. Before getting on their bikes, motorcyclists must first of all pay careful attention to their clothing. Why? Because their clothing is the only form of protection they have. Everyone has scraped a knee on asphalt when riding a bike or a scooter as a child, so just imagine the result of a fall or a crash at 100 km/h. Wearing a jacket made of leather or an anti-abrasive material is not a luxury, it’s a necessity, whatever the weather. Gloves and boots are other indispensable items in a motorcyclist’s wardrobe. As far as helmets are concerned, full-face models offer the best protection. The techniques for maintaining balance at slow speeds, negotiating bends and corners, braking at intersections, and avoiding obstacles must be mastered perfectly — all while keeping to the speed limits, of course. Sharing the road with other users is another important element that will only succeed if everyone behaves in a safe and courteous manner. Being aware of the risks attached to driving a motorcycle and being capable of managing them is to demonstrate an exemplary, proactive attitude, one that will never detract from your pleasure and sense of freedom.

Suzuki perfects its dual sport Without doubt, Suzuki was a pioneer in the development of sport motorbikes and its line contains many evocative names, such as Hayabusa, GSX-R, and SV. In the niche market of custom motorbikes, Suzuki has also contributed to the recognition of classic Japanese motorbikes as potential rivals to Harley-Davidson, especially with its Boulevard series. Even if 2012 appears to be a transition year for Suzuki, engineers have made several improvements to existing models. First, the dual sport V-Strom 650 has benefited from some retouches to the styling and a new, height-adjustable windshield, while the driving position has been slightly reworked in order to gain more legroom. Information from the instrument cluster is now transmitted in a digital format, making it easier to read. As for the mechanics, modifications to the engine have extended the torque over a wider range of r.p.m. adjustments. If the 645-cc engine of the V-Strom 650A ABS and 650ASE ABS seems inadequate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to opt for the 996-cc engine of the V-Strom 1000 and 1000 SE. In the sport category, the engine of the famous GSX-R 1000 has gained in power as well as torque in 2012 and new brake calipers give more bite. Last year, the GSX-R750 and GSX-R600 were totally revamped, with a weight reduction and an increase in engine power that improves their manoeuvrability and performance.

1128 TRANQUILLE RD. • 250-376-6737

No rest for Kawasaki Kawasaki, one of the most active Japanese manufacturers in 2012, has recently unveiled a wild new model, the ZX-14R in the sport category. This new generation of motorbikes is powered by a 4-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 1,441 cc. Faster when riding in a straight line than its sibling the ZX-10R, the power of the ZX-14R engine should fluctuate at around 200 horsepower in the regular version and at 210 horsepower with the ram-air system. Less agile but more comfortable than the ZX-10R — which requires a forward leaning riding position — the stability of the ZX-14R will be more appreciated over long distances. Apart from the engine, the fairing and some other mechanical elements have also been reworked. This year, changes to the ZX-6R were inspired by those made to the ZX10-R last year. These include a lighter weight and more torque at mid-range. The brakes and suspension have also been adjusted for more efficiency. Motorbike categories never cease to multiply, just like in the world of automobiles. The street/touring segment is one of the most popular this year, so Kawasaki has introduced the Versys 1000 to keep up with the competition. No matter what type of cladding it comes with, this dual purpose motorbike is comfortable, thanks mostly to its riding position, long travel suspension, seat and tire profile.

Harley has habits True to its good old habits, Harley-Davidson is introducing only one newcomer to its stable this year — the Dyna Switchback. Indeed, most other North American manufacturers are introducing a few small changes. At Harley-Davidson, all the Touring and Softail models (except for Street Bob and Super Glide Custom) are now powered by a twin-cam 103 engine instead of a twin-cam 96. The Dyna Switchback is a union of opposites, combining the characteristics of a tourer with those of a street cruiser. The engineers designed it with a big twin-cam 103 1691cc engine in a Dyna frame, while its windshield and saddle bags are perfect for long rides. Harley-Davidson caused quite a commotion in 2002 when it introduced the V-Rod. This model was given a futuristic look and unusual mechanics for a Harley-Davidson. A special edition has been produced this year to celebrate the V-Rod’s 10th anniversary in shining style, including silvery finishing touches, lots of chrome and new split fivespoke cast aluminum wheels. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars in order to personalize a Harley-Davidson. All you have to do is choose a CVO version. These motorbikes come enhanced with a multitude of accessories from the Harley-Davidson catalogue. Take special note of the more comfortable seats, the audio systems with powerful amplifiers and speakers in the rear. The CVO range is available in the Softail Convertible, Street Glide, Ultra Classic Electra and the new Road Glide Custom.

Yamaha is always ready for adventure In order to attract new customers, motorbike manufacturers are continually developing specialized models.

The trend in recent years has been to design motorbikes with an adventuretouring vocation. To stay at the head of the

pack this year, Yamaha has introduced the Super Ténéré. This all-new Yamaha competes with the BMW R1200GS, KTM 990

Adventure and Suzuki V-Strom 1000, not to mention the now-discontinued Honda Varadero. Perched high on long travel suspension and benefiting from increased ground clearance, the Super Ténéré is capable of tackling the toughest of unmarked trails. Moreover, this machine is overflowing with riderassist technology to improve power as well as braking on loose terrain. Tear up the tarmac or the toughest of trails with the 1199-cc inline two-cylinder

engine packed with torque. The optional and rather ingenious storage cases are ideal when heading out on long expeditions. Yamaha also offers a wide range of scooters, including the all new maxiscooter T-Max. The Stratoliner, Raider, Road Star, Royal Star, Roadliner, Stryker and V-Star can all be found in the custom and touring niche markets, where chrome and classic styles hold a place of honour. Yamaha is also offering

a hyper-modified motorbike called the VMAX, which is halfway between a custom and a sport model. Yamaha’s supersport range includes the YZF-R1 and YZF-R6, which have already proved themselves on the race track. But, if you prefer just a little more comfort, there are always the FZ1, FZ8, Fazer8, and FZ6R models. Yamaha has also developed special editions of the R1, R6 and FZ8 in celebration of 50 years of Grand Prix-racing success.

Tobiano offers a unique ranch-style golf experience. Its 18-hole course includes vistas of the rugged Columbia and Cascade mountains framed by an expansive view of Kamloops Lake. Unlike most golf communities where the course is planned around the homes, Tobiano sits softly on the land, following the natural ebb and flow of the terrain, with all other development strategically positioned around the fairways. The result is a course that runs sequentially and without interruption, creating an exceptional golf experience. With a stunning view of Kamloops Lake from every hole, the front nine features desert dunes and lush green fairways while the back nine offers open rangeland, ravines, and bluffs. White silica-sand bunkers — a recent innovation by course architect Thomas McBroom — and scenic gullies define and bisect many of the holes.

Revelstoke Golf Club The immaculate Revelstoke Golf Club is like a fine red wine — it just gets better with age!

This par-72, 6,537 yard championship layout provides an excellent golfing challenge and, with its spectacular setting, you will find you will want to play it over and over again. With the majestic Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges as a backdrop the golf course is a traditional, tree-lined beauty that features many graceful holes that bend through the trees and dash alongside the mighty Columbia River. The city of Revelstoke is not only rich in history, with its restored buildings dating back to the late 1800s, it is also known for being home to one of the most interesting clubhouses in North America. The 100-year-old building features a lookout tower and used to be a clubhouse for bygone equestrian races.

Eaglepoint Golf Course Architect Robert Heaslip is best known for building straightforward, affordable golf courses throughout Canada. At Eaglepoint, he definitely utilized the natural terrain to his advantage. The course was built in 1991 through a thick stand of pines creating a world of its own as each hole was played. Now that the majority of trees are gone, due to a pinebeetle infestation, golfers are treated to open, rolling terrain and fantastic views at every turn. Shot-making is still a critical component of the game, as

views — and awesome golf

Overlooking the beautiful Shuswap Lake

the new owner, Dennis Hong, has introduced native fescues to areas that were once bare or treed. Thus, there is always a demand on shot-making. Each hole is unique, giving the golfer a moment to pause and reflect on the task at hand or what was. The strength and signature of the golf course are the four par-threes. With four sets of tees, Eaglepoint Golf Resort is fun and a challenge for all levels of golfers.

Canoe Creek Golf Course Canoe Creek's unique design brings you a bit of the British Isles, offering more than 7000 yards of open fields, grass-faced bunkers, playable greens and striking water features. This new addition to the region’s wide spectrum of golf facilities is architect Dave Barr’s first signature course. The course, located at Shuswap Lake near Salmon Arm, offers a new look and a very rewarding golf experience. The course features creeks, waterfalls, fountains and natural marshes, with fescue defining many of the fairways. This is a traditional look with a modern approach. The unique layout allows you to hit the driver off the tee in some situations, while a more conservative club selection is required in others. Pot bunkers are scattered strategically throughout the golf course and simply avoiding them is a good option. Canoe Creek is well known for its immaculate greens. They are open, accessible and receptive to approach shots; subtle undulations add to the challenge of negotiating these spectacular greens. The pro shop and Barr’s Bistro reflect the same attention

Hyundai’s got some Accent If there is something to be said of Hyundai, it’s that this Korean automaker is not afraid to offer some of the best-designed economy cars on the market. Its most recent subcompact, the Accent, is living proof of that decision. The 2012 Accent is powered by a new 1.6-litre, inline four-cylinder engine that features direct fuel injection.

The small engine can develop some 143 horsepower. Both automatic and manual transmissions are sixspeed and the car remains a front-wheel drive. The new Accent, available as a sedan or a hatchback, also sports a brand new redesigned interior that matches the exterior lines. Among the most interesting features are the four-

Ford Focus now comes electriﬁed The new Focus, launched last year, is already a success in North America and around the world. In fact, Ford’s new philosophy dictates that most of its products should be the same, no matter where they ’ae sold around the globe. That said, some differences might show up according to the market where the car is sold. In North America, the Focus is available as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback with a direct-injection 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine that develops some 160 horsepower. A newer sporty model called the ST will soon be available with a 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine and a six-speed manual transmission. The current Focus is sold with a fivespeed manual transmission or a very advanced dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission.

The biggest news is that the all-electric Focus will be sold in some markets. The Electric Focus is wholly powered by an electric motor, with no help whatsoever from a mechanical engine. This electric motor puts out close to 125 horsepower, while the car’s batteries allow it to travel close to 160 kilometres before recharging.

The days of manually adding air to under-inflated tires could be a distant memory thanks to an innovation at Goodyear. Goodyear’s air-maintenance technology will enable tires to remain inflated at the optimum pressure without the need for any external pumps or electronics.

All components of the system, including the miniaturized pump, will be contained within the tire. Goodyear did not provide an estimate on when this technology would be available at tire retailers, but said the timetable would be accelerated due to recent government research grants in the U.S.

This front-wheel drive sedan is also available with a refined hybrid combination consisting of a similar four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor that delivers some 200 horsepower. For those more oriented toward performance, the car is also available with a 268-horsepower V-6 engine. The new Camry offers an even roomier cabin with 10 standard airbags, as well as optional sound and navigation systems. It is still possible to get the sporty SE, featuring a sporttuned suspension, sporty suede trimmed seats and paddle shifters for the automatic transmission.

The big ﬁsh eat the little ones Wherever it is permitted by law, natural live bait will always give great results. The bait’s movements are what all artificial lures are designed to imitate. Live minnows are the most effective of all the many types of bait and will always be the preferred prey in their natural habitat. In order to maximize your chances of capturing a beautiful specimen with your minnow, use a fishing rig that is as sturdy as it is natural-looking. The best way to fix a minnow onto the hook is by its mouth because this will prolong the life of your bait. Remind yourself that the longer this little fry is wriggling around on the end of your line, the more chance it has of catching the eye of a hungry predator. Also remember the minnow should be presented as naturally as possible, which means fishermen should always try to use fishing techniques that simulate the natural movements of the vulnerable prey. Drift fishing is a good example of this. This technique allows you to keep the bait at the desired depth while leaving

the minnow enough freedom to wriggle. Other methods can also be successful. Whatever method is used, be on the alert as bites can come quickly and aggressively on this type of rig. In other words, grip your rod securely and have your line brake well-adjusted, not

too tightly, in such a way as to be able to let the potential predator run with its prey before you strike the fish. This type of fishing is one of the most exciting but, for your own sake, be sure to check the law before you start your fishing trip — live bait is illegal in some areas. And, don’t forget to tire

Road to

Spring Edition 2012

Subaru redesigns Impreza Japanese manufacturer Subaru certainly has no problem selling its cars but, like every other carmaker, the pressure is on to continuously improve its products. This year, Subaru has refined its smallest car, the compact Impreza. The company has redesigned the whole car, including its flat-four engine. The 2012 Impreza is available as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback.

Typical for Subaru, it remains a four-wheel drive vehicle and is still offered as a five-speed manual or a modern CVT automatic transmission. Under the hood is the usual flat-four engine, a design almost unique to Subaru. What’s new is the smaller 2.0-litre engine that replaces the 2.5-litre model of the past. According to the manufacturer, it develops 148 horsepower but is about 30 per cent less fuel-guzzling.

The new Impreza also has a new flat-four engine.

Subaru Impreza at a glance Category: Compact sedan/hatchback. Weight: 1,175 kg. Length: 458 cm. Engine: 2.0-l, 148-hp flat-4. Transmission: 5M, CVT. Seating capacity: Five. Later in the year, Subaru will offer new WRX and STI performance versions that have known success in the past in rally racing.

Conserve ﬁsh stocks — catch, photograph and release Many recreational fishermen practise catch-and-release in order to ensure the sustainability of a fish species in a particular stretch of water. The bigger specimens and the most promising progenitors should be conserved as well as small fish that offer very little flesh. With this in mind, it is important to injure the fish as little as possible before returning it to its natural habitat. Fishing with barbless hooks makes this possible or a pair of pliers can be used to crush existing barbs flat.

This technique will limit injury to the fish and improve its chances of survival. Effective catch-and-release fishing techniques involve careful handling of the fish from the time it enters the landing net to the time you release it. An even better method, if possible, is to unhook the fish without removing it from the water. In order to do this, the fish should be held into the current, if there is one, until it recovers its strength. You should be able to feel its muscles quivering all along its body.

Watch the tail: Once it starts to move, the time has come to say your goodbyes. After a hard-fought battle, fishermen must be patient, as some fish take a longer time to recover than others. Nevertheless, most of them will survive unhurt and readily return to their

natural habitat. Sometimes fish will be too injured to swim away, in which case you’ll have no choice but to keep your catch. Be ready for this eventuality by always leaving room on your daily catch limit.
