Jann Bailey, executive director of the Kamloops Art Gallery (KAG), died Friday night. Bailey, who began working with the gallery in 1987, oversaw the institution’s move from the basement of the former Kamloops museum location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Victoria Street to the expansive facility now adjacent to the downtown library. She also helped the KAG build a national
reputation, one that saw her awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in 2012, one of 37 Canadians recommended for it by the Canadian Museums Association. Bailey was cited then for her enthusiasm and “lifelong conviction that art and culture add to the quality of life, and her leadership during the presidencies of the Canadian Museums Association and the Canadian Art Museums Director’s Organization.” In 2011, Bailey was the first person to receive the Barbara A. Tyler Award in

The evaluation period for the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Kamloops has been extended to allow the T’kemlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands (together known as Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation) more time to peruse the application. The extension means KGHM’s application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office will have an evaluation period ending on Nov. 2. Evaluation of the mining application began on Sept. 14, when KGHM filed its 18,000-page application. The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office said time beyond Nov. 20 may be needed to review and respond to comments from the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation. KGHM Ajax also noted an extension would allow further review and clarification of the tailings storage facility alternatives assessment.
The company’s original proposal included a dry-stack tailings pile, which was changed to a wet-tailing pond under a revised site plan. Last month, Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation filed a title claim in B.C. Supreme Court to lands owned by KGHM Ajax, including Jacko Lake and the adjacent area south of Aberdeen. The two bands made a Declaration of Title on June 21 at Jacko Lake, which they call Pípsell. The filing of the claim moves Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation to the pre-declaration stage identified in the Tsilhqot’in decision for Title and Rights. The historic Supreme Court of Canada decision in June 2014 granted the Tsilhqot’in First Nation title to more than 1,750 square kilometres of land in an area west of Williams Lake.
However, private property was specifically excluded from the landmark court case and the Supreme Court of Canada did not address the issue. Skeetchestn Indian Band Chief Ron Ignace told KTW last month that the bands simply want title to land that is rightfully theirs. He said such a title would establish that the bands have the right to dictate use on its land — including resources. Ignace said the concerns of the bands and their members include environmental impacts of Ajax with respect to Jacko, Goose and Inks lakes, and to the amount of water to be taken from Kamloops Lake. In August 2014, the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council — of which the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands are members — called for a moratorium on development of new mines in B.C. following the tailings-pond dam failure at the Mount Polley mine in the Cariboo.

Once healthier, Bailey returned to the gallery, but her new reality was an ongoing regimen of antirejection drugs and steroids that had weakened her immune system to the point doctors preferred she not even hug people. “But, I’m a huggy person,” she told KTW at the time. “So, I still hug.” Typical of Bailey, her long stay in Vancouver General Hospital inspired her. While there, she saw the vast collection of art on the walls of the hospital and especially in the Krall Centre for patients with leukemia and having bone-marrow transplants. Once back at work, Bailey was determined to create the same environment at Royal Inland Hospital and, in 2011, she hammered a nail in a wall there to hang the first piece of art, One piece was hung on the eighth floor in the cancer ward, a symbolic move for Bailey.

KAMLOOPS
“This is great art,” she said then. “It enriches your soul and makes you feel better.” Bailey recently took a leave of absence from the KAG. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Remembering Jann: • Margaret Chrumka, acting KAG executive director: “Jann was a force in the gallery and museum community. She worked tirelessly to support artists, ensure excellence at the gallery and engage people in the importance of our art in our lives. Our hearts go out to Jann’s husband, family and her many close friends.” • Judy Basso, longtime friend and KAG special-events co-ordinator: “I am just stunned. Jann and I were dear friends way before she was my boss. I loved her to bits. I am going to miss her so much.” • Local artist Marlene Wideman on the value of the art auctions Bailey oversaw: “A year ago, I had two paintings accepted for the KAG Annual Art Auction, one of which
was a Thai Lotus. At the auction, I noticed two Chinese men looking rather out of place, looking as if they were not sure how to be at an art auction, so I approached them. Smiling, I tried conversing with the men, hoping to make them feel at ease, but, when I realized their English was very limited, I took one of them by the hand and walked him over to my Thai Lotus painting. Immediately, his face broke into a wide grin and he pointed to the number of the first bid on the painting and then to the number on his jacket. He was the first bidder. Later in the evening, I was delighted to see him leave the auction with my painting under his arm. My painting of a classic Asian flower was going back to China.” • Brendan Shaw, local realtor and arts patron: “I remember one of the first times meeting Jann, at an art auction in benefit of the Kamloops Art Gallery. Jann was so grateful for everyone who attended. I remember bidding on an artist’s
COMMUNITY
print by Ann Kipling and seeing the excitement in Jann’s eyes as she gave me the artist’s life story and significance of the sketch. I may not be the most knowledgable about the arts, but whatever attraction and curiosity I have to it is because of her.” • Mayor Peter Milobar: “Jann will be missed not just locally, but nationally as well. She was a force when it came to advancing and lobbying for arts and culture. Everyone knew that if Jann believed in something, ‘no’ was not an acceptable answer. Her passing is a great loss for Kamloops.” • Health Minister Terry Lake: I knew Jann as a councillor, mayor and MLA and she was a powerful force to ensure a strong and vibrant arts and culture community in Kamloops. She always challenged us to recognize the tremendous importance of culture to us as individuals and, as a community, that was as important to quality of life as sports and recreation. She will be deeply missed.”

McLeod calls out Cavers for ‘Sluts’ posting CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
KTW EDITOR

Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod said she is “appalled� with a Facebook page that has been shared by Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers. The shared page is called “Sluts Against Harper� and promises to send nude photos of women to people who vow to vote against the incumbent Conservative government in the Oct. 19 election. “For city councillor Cavers to promote a website that offers pornographic images in exchange for a vote against current leadership is absolutely appall-
ing,� McLeod said in a press release. “This is degrading to women, diminishes the importance of an election and is disgusting that a city councillor promotes this. “There are young women who look at city councillors as role models and this behaviour is unbecoming of the office,� McLeod said. “This post tells them that their minds and voices don’t matter.� Cavers told KTW he did indeed share the Facebook page on his personal Facebook page, noting sharing it does not necessarily means he endorses the tactic. “I certainly don’t
Plan your legacy
Reduce your current or future tax bill by supporting your favourite charity. The Canadian tax system provides great incentives to encourage your donations on an ongoing basis during your lifetime or with a bequest in your Will. The way you structure your charitable donation can be as important as the amounts you give, both to the charity and to the donation’s after-tax cost to you. Your after-tax cost for a $1,000 cash donation ranges between $470 and $570. But your options are much broader than simply giving cash or leaving a sum of money to a charity in your Will. Gifts of property, also known as “gifts in kind�, such as securities, real estate and life insurance can be very tax-effective alternatives to gifts of cash. In light of the recent changes to the rules regarding donations of private company shares, real estate and upon death you should review your donation strategies and your Will to ensure you maximize your tax benefit and the benefit to the charity of your choice.

until election day. Please talk about issues that matter.� As for McLeod’s assertion the Facebook page is degrading to women, Cavers noted he first saw it on the Facebook page of a friend of his — a mother of three. “I’ve seen more women posting it than men,:� Cavers said, arguing the creation of the Sluts Against Harper
campaign speaks to the fact women feel marginalized under the Harper government.

DEADLINE FOR CHARITY APPLICATIONS IS OCT. 27 on Christmas and helping others. This year’s Christmas Cheer Fund, the long-running fundraiser that moved to KTW last year, has been revamped. The most important change is creating a standardized form that must be completed by charities in the city that want to be considered as recipients. The form can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. The form requests contact information, charitable number and some financial information, but it also keys in on values a new committee established to oversee the fund has identified — legacy, diversity and trust. The committee this year has grown and now includes KTW’s publisher, Kelly Hall, its sales manager, Rose-Marie Fagerholm,
office manager Cindi Hamoline and two staff representatives — sales representative Linda Skelly and reporter Andrea Klassen. It also includes two people from the United Way Thompson-NicolaCariboo, who are there to provide advice from their own knowledge base on the charities that apply. Also on the committee is Jim Doan, owner of Western Karate Academy. Doan and his students have raised tens of thousands of dollars through the years for the Christmas Cheer Fund. That committee recently spent some time with Deb McClelland of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce in a meeting that not only led to establishing the three values, but which also set as the fund’s mandate “Giving together to
build a stronger community.” This year, the fund is moving away from an equal split of the money among recipients, setting a limit of $10,000 as a maximum donation. The main reason for this is a desire by the Cheer committee to help smaller charities and not become the only reason those organizations can operate. It also provides some flexibility to perhaps add an extra charity that needs a bit of money to accomplish a specific goal. Of course, if, at the end of the campaign, there’s more money raised than requested by a specific charity, the committee will meet to distribute that excess. The committee also decided to formalize something that has been ongoing, but
never cast in stone. Under the direction of Gregg Drinnan, who ran the fund in Regina and brought it to Kamloops when he moved here, women’s shelters were the recipient. In Kamloops, that meant every year, the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter was going to be on the list of charities chosen. Drinnan asked KTW continue that support and the committee decided to designate the shelter as an ongoing recipient that no longer needs to apply for funding. The charities chosen this year will remain in place next year as well to ensure some sustainability and to give them a bit of help in planning for the short term. So, the ones that will be announced next month will be the ones
we’ll support at this time next year, too. For those who found the online donation portal a challenge last year, the staff at the United Way ThompsonNicola-Cariboo, on whose website the donation portal exists, have made changes to make it easier to use. Donations will also be welcome at the KTW office at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. The online donation site will again issue tax receipts for amounts greater than $10. Applications from charities must be submitted by Oct. 27. Charities chosen will be announced on Nov. 3, the day the Christmas Cheer Fund will officially launch. As it continues, KTW will be writing about the charities, the donors, the work being done and who it impacts.

Day parole granted for killer of four
A 100 Mile House man who killed his parents and two others when he was a teenager has been granted day parole despite the fact he has been labelled by authorities a “moderate to high” risk to re-offend violently. In 1996, 15-year-old James Ruscitti, along with a 14-year-old accomplice, shot and killed four people — Ruscitti’s adoptive parents and two boarders —
inside a 100 Mile House home. After the shootings, Ruscitti left his twomonth-old infant niece alone in a locked room. She was discovered near death two days later. According to parole documents, Ruscitti has participated in programming while incarcerated, but still has several risk factors. The documents indicate Ruscitti will
likely reside in a half-way house on Vancouver Island, where he will be
required to participate in further programming and counselling.

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I’ve own always loved hanging out with younger kids because their decisions, but they with it’s usually so easydo to that make things fun and exciting, even simple consultation of the board games andcomplaying outside. I heard it over my school’s announcements munity.” and asked my friends if they were doing it too and they said yes as well. What do you enjoy about the In-School Teen Mentoring Program? I enjoy seeing how happy it makes my little buddy to see me even if it’s only once a week, and that I get to do something I enjoy with someone who loves it just as much. How often do you see your Little and what do you do? My little buddy and I meet once a week at a time decided between both of us. Last year we met every Tuesday at 12:30 until 1:30 so I didn’t have to miss any of my classes during school. It fits because we both get to miss school for something more entertaining :) Who would you recommend this program to? I would recommend this program to anybody who likes hanging out with kids and having tons of fun because they can. It’s a program for anyone to enjoy. How has your Little benefitted from the program? My little buddy’s Dad is away a lot, as said in his description letter, and so having a big buddy is almost like having a sister for him, someone he can talk to and just be himself with outside of his home. He also mentioned he doesn’t have many friends but this program has helped him make new ones! Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? I think people should do this program because it’s an awesome way to meet new friends, younger and older who do the program as well, plus it’s just nice to see how happy you make them and how much they love your company.

FREE TRADE IS GOOD FOR B.C.
W
e do not agree with the hue and cry, the Chicken Little attitude, whenever a trade deal is reached that reduces tariffs and impediments for Canadian products to reach more markets. It was the same thing in 1988 when then-prime minister Brian Mulroney signed the free-trade agreement with the United States. We were going to be swallowed up by the U.S. and become the 51st state, detractors warned back in 1988. Wrong. The free trade deal with the U.S. has worked in Canada’s favour. That’s the same fear-mongering we are hearing now with news of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. How is the ability to sell our goods to larger markets, without tariffs and other impediments, a bad thing? Why must we be scared by competition? Yes, there are those subsidies, the taxpayer and/or consumer-funded propping up of certain industries. Yes, those industries could be hurt by a more free flow of goods in and out of Canada. Agreed, it’s a cold world when it comes to business. We are bullish on Canada. We believe in our industries, our innovative minds, our cutting-edge thinking. We believe in the people of this country and their work ethic. We believe our products and our people can and will (and do) stack up against anything or anyone in the world. Now, free trade doesn’t necessarily mean fair. The U.S. continually refuses to play nice with softwood lumber. They have an inferior product (it’s a latitude thing, mostly) they continue to prop up. This new Pacific agreement (which still requires approval in many nations) will also have its challenges. If we have to pay more for Canadian dairy products and provide subsidies to Canadian producers because of health concerns regarding dairy products from other countries, that seems logical. We should pay for that peace of mind. But opening up more Pacific markets for B.C.’s lumber or seafood? How is that not something to be encouraged?

PAC a positive proposal
A
re you voting next Monday? Once you’ve cast your federal-election ballot, don’t forget that there is another important vote taking place on Nov. 7. I’ve struggled for quite a long time about whether I should support the proposed performing-arts centre (PAC). Generally, with most subjects, once I’ve launched into the relevant reading materials and/or background studies, I’m able to come to a firm decision within a reasonable amount of time. In some cases, like the Ajax open-pit mine proposal, I arrive at a sound conclusion in short order through simple common sense. For the PAC, my thought process has been somewhat more nuanced. I had the good fortune this past Saturday of attending the Western Canada Theatre play Don’t Dress for Dinner and it was a very good show. In Kamloops, we’ve always had a knack for punching above our weight, not only when it comes to sports, but across the board. Western Canada Theatre, Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Kamloops Art Gallery (R.I.P., Jann) and Kamloops Arts Council are but a few of the outstanding art organizations in our community, all of which produce high-calibre art and artists. Facilitating the creation of more stage space is critical in the effort to foster and nurture more young aspiring artists in our community. Any parent who has had a child in hockey knows all too well how

CITY HALL important it is to have access to ice time and for the city to maintain an adequate inventory of arenas to avoid too much of a time squeeze as we grow. For performing artists (think high-school theatre, bands, amateur actors, dance schools and local musicians), securing stage time comes with many of the same challenges and, over the past decades, the squeeze has been on big time. Just in these past few weeks, I’ve seen plenty of online posts by friends who have travelled to the Lower Mainland to take in a concert by a bigger name performer. Instead of being able to support our local economy by spending their entertainment dollars here in Kamloops, these people are forced to travel to Vancouver. With the new PAC, seeing many of these acts in Kamloops will be possible and we will be able to support our favourite local establishments before or after the show. Situated as we are between Calgary and Vancouver means we will be able to attract many acts that would normally pass up stop-
ping in a community of our size. As outlined in the PAC business case (online at tinyurl.com/qaaxvaz), the new facility will attract significant investment to the city and will undoubtedly be a net positive to the local economy. An anticipated 240 per cent return on investment is nothing to sneeze at. For professionals like family physicians who, given the shortage everywhere, can essentially choose to live wherever they’d like, an amenity like the PAC could be just the thing to convince them to plant their roots in Kamloops. Likewise for the owner of a tech company that can set up shop almost anywhere with an internet connection, the PAC would be an attractive city feature that would help them bring in the highly specialized workforce they need. To maintain a diverse, vibrant economy well into the future, we need a community in which professionals such as doctors and tech innovators want to live. As you’ve probably guessed by now, I’ve come to the conclusion that, although this facility will be an investment with a hefty upfront cost, the pros far outweigh the cons. If approved on Nov. 7, the PAC will meet the needs of local and regional spectators and artists well beyond 2050. I encourage you to get out and vote on Oct. 19 and on Nov. 7. It could take as little as 15 minutes out of your day — as simple as ABC. Every vote will count. Donovan Cavers is a Kamloops councillor. His email is dcavers@kamloops.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
IT IS HIGH TIME WE ARE ABLE TO VOTE ONLINE Editor: I am not sure I quite understand the voting process and why it has not gone electronic. We went to the advance polls and were greeted with a long lineup . We then had to produce ID and wait while an election officer looked me up on a huge ledger. The officer then filled out some kind of form for me to sign and I was able to vote, with a little pencil, and put my ballot into a big box. So much paper and cardboard and manpower. It seems to me that, if I can apply for a sixfigure mortgage and get approved online, or send money from my bank account to someone anywhere in the world, then it just stands to reason I should be able to sign in, prove my identification through a username and pass-
word and vote.

CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN BIZARRE PUMP-PRICE DISCREPANCY? Editor: I’ve been in Vancouver a few times recently and have noticed gas prices in Vancouver have been the same as in Kamloops. Kamloops has typically had the cheapest gas in the province.
Now, with a decrease in world oil prices, Kamloops stations are not lowering their prices. What is with this? I wonder if there is a reason for this or if Kamloopsians are being taken advantage of.
From Oct. 5 to Oct. 8, gas was $1.03 in Hope, $1.01 in Abbotsford and $1.12 in Vancouver. I paid 96 cents per litre in at Costco in Abbotsford, where premium was $1.08.
Gas remains at $1.17 in Kamloops. I am not impressed with this and would love an explanation. Rick Carlson Kamloops
QUESTIONING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PROPOSED TPP Editor: Multinational trade deals, like all others, are drawn up to benefit corporations. They allow corporations to pick and choose those countries with the lowest standards and wages and without restriction or impediment from governments to export their products freely. That could include GMO foods, contaminat-
ed products or counterfeit parts and medicine. Corporations have no soul or conscience with only one allegiance — their shareholders. If there are jobs created here as a result, it is only because it has to be so, not because of some sense of responsibility or goodwill. Jobs are overhead and deplete the bottom line, contrary to their mission of maximizing profits.
Any government that tries to impede their “rights” could be sued for lost profit or hauled in before some trade tribunal in a foreign country. Since the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations did not include Canada’s First Nation, is the agreement even constitutional? Pierre Trottier Kamloops

Bianca Liberatore will be part of a Canadian team competing at the 2015 Commonwealth Championships in Richmond later this year. The Kamloops native holds records in a number of powerlifing events and will be up against athletes from 11 other countries.

ianca Liberatore was afraid people wouldn’t like her unless she was skinny. So, for a time, she was willing to do whatever it took to be thin. “When I was younger — I think I was about 13 — I was obsessed with wanting to be like the other girls and be skinny, stuff like that,� Liberatore, now 23, told KTW. “You get in this mindset, especially being a young teenage girl, that the only way people — especially boys — will like you is if you’re skinny and pretty and all these lovely things.� For a period of four years, she fought with the bingeing-and-purging cycle of bulimia, battling pressures at
school and the urge to lose weight. Things got so out of control, there came a time she was unable to swallow water, her esophagus so burned by stomach acid. “It just clicked for me one day,� she said. “I was like, if you want to be healthy and spread health and fitness to other people, you’re not walking the talk, you have to do something about it. “That’s when I started bodybuilding — and it changed my life.� The turnaround for Liberatore began at 16, when she started a job as a receptionist at a gym in Kamloops. She wasn’t new to the world of working out, but she didn’t have the sort of knowledge the personal trainers and bodybuilders around her did. With their help, she began training for her first bodybuilding event.

Liberatore competed for the first time at 18 and went on to become a provincial and national champion. Everything seemed to fall into place the moment she decided to stop trying to be the person she thought everyone else wanted her to be. “I was like, why am I so obsessed with this? Why can’t I focus on being strong and feeling good about myself?� she said. “Like anybody else, I have my insecure moments, but I’ve never felt more confident than I do in a gym, lifting weight and feeling strong.� A few years later, Liberatore made another change — she left the world of bodybuilding in pursuit of powerlifting. And, as she did in bodybuilding, she thrived. See LIBERATORE, A11

LIBERATORE TO COMMONWEALTH CHAMPIONSHIPS IN NOVEMBER Just three years into her powerlifting career, Liberatore holds provincial and national records in the benchpress, squat and lift total (a sum of an athlete’s heaviest weights in squat, benchpress and deadlift). Her record benchpress is 165 pounds (75 kilograms), her squat 297 pounds (135 kgs.). Her lift total record weighs in at 815 pounds (370 kgs.). Her achievements in her three-year career have been enough to land her on the Canadian team for the Commonwealth Championships in Richmond from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6. There, she will be one of 100 Canadian athletes on
a team competing against powerlifters from 11 other countries. “I’m really excited about it,” Liberatore said. “I honestly didn’t think I was going to get chosen, so I was pretty excited when they gave me a letter saying I got in.” Liberatore trains six times a week at her gym — she owns NXL Athletics — and will continue to do so in preparation for the Commonwealth Championships. But, considering how far she has come, the Kamloops powerlifter has no concerns about being ready to take on the world’s best powerlifters. “I always knew I wanted a gym and to

compete and inspire others. And, I knew that with hard work, I could accomplish whatever I wanted,” Liberatore said. “I can say I feel I’m exactly where I should be. I feel with a strong and positive mindset, anyone is capable of doing anything.” Liberatore is fundraising and looking to secure sponsorship to help cover the costs of her upcoming trip.

A) Most retirement communities offer an emergency response system. It is important to know and understand how the response system works. Some communities will dial 911 for you after you have activated your emergency pendant. Some communities have voice to voice systems. These systems allow you to explain your situation to the emergency personnel. Some communities have a nurse on duty 24 hours per day and they will attend to your private suite in an emergency situation. When doing your research it is important to ask a lot of questions on this topic. Fully understanding how the emergency response system works will give you and your family peace of mind. This is not an area that you want to “sort of” know how the system works and what the protocols are. This is a topic that you want to fully comprehend and be comfortable with the service and the protocols.

Hay: D-man Kneen has bright WHL future From A10
Kamloops dropped to 0-6.
“I’m going to talk to him [Kneen] here pretty quick,” Hay said
following the game. “I didn’t say anything to him on the
bench. He feels bad. He probably wouldn’t even have heard me.”
The Blazers are back in action tonight against the Red Deer

Rebels. Game time is 7 p.m at Sandman Centre. Red Deer (5-2) has been led up front by 18-year-old European import forward Michael Spacek, who is tied for fifth in WHL scoring with 12 points, five of them goals. The centre from the Czech Republic picked up an assist in the Rebels’ 5-4 shootout victory over the Calgary Hitmen in Red Deer on Saturday. Rebels’ netminder Rylan Toth is 5-1 and has a .902 save percentage this season. Kamloops played a solid game on Saturday and received strong goaltending from 16-year-old Dylan Ferguson, who made 27 saves in a losing effort. Matthew Phillips opened the scoring for the visitors with a highlight-reel goal at 17:06 of the second period, toe-dragging the puck
past defenceman Patrik Maier, retrieving it and slipping a shot through Ferguson’s pads. Less than one minute later, Needham notched his first goal of the campaign to tie the game. That was the end of the scoring until Kneen’s gaffe, which occurred while Kamloops product and Royals’ D-man Joe Hicketts was in the penalty box. Kneen, the highest bantam-draft pick in team history (third overall in 2014), will be in the lineup tonight, looking to bounce back from what will feel like a bad dream. “He’s going to make a lot of good things happen over his junior career,” Hay said. “That’s what he’s got to know going forward. “There’s going to be bumps in the road and there’s going to be smooth sailing. He just had a bump.”

While Steve Powrie is busy butting heads with politicians ahead of the Oct. 19 federal election, the Liberal candidate’s daughter, Brianna Powrie (right), is using her cranium on the soccer pitch for the TRU WolfPack. Steve will be aiming for victories like the one Brianna’s WolfPack (3-5-2) scored on Friday — 3-0 over the UBC Okanagan Heat in Kelowna. The Powries will be dreaming of a landslide Liberal triumph, but many are predicting something closer to the 1-1 tie played to by the Heat and WolfPack at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. The men’s TRU soccer team (1-5-2) also played back-to-back matches against the Heat, tying 1-1 in Kelowna on Friday and losing 2-1 in Kamloops on Saturday. The UBC Thunderbirds and Victoria Vikes men’s soccer squads will be in town for showdowns against TRU at Hillside this weekend, the T-Birds on Saturday and the Vikes on Sunday. Both games will start at 2 p.m. In women’s action, TRU is hosting the Mount Royal Cougars of Calgary on Saturday and MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton on Sunday. Both matches get underway at noon at Hillside.
THIEVES RANSACK KAMLOOPS BMX CLUB
A weekend burglary at the Kamloops BMX Club’s Ord Road facility has left the organization without about $10,000 worth of equipment. Club vice-president Ryan Messere said thieves managed to cut the hinges to get into four containers under the starting ramp and make off with a wealth of goods. The burglary happened on Friday or Saturday night. Stolen were five adult bikes, between eight and 10 helmets, a generator, a compressor, a start box that runs the gate, a publicaddress system — and even the stickies (first-place, second-place, etc.) given to kids following races. As Messere noted, the start box is useless to anybody but those who operate BMX tracks. Messere’s four-year-old son, Hayden, is among the kids who ride at the BMX track. “He was asking me, ‘What’s going to happen next year? How am I going to get

a sticky next year?’” A crowdfunding initiative has been started online. To donate to help the club raise money to
replace the stolen equipment, go online to gofundme.com/kamloopsBMX. The Kamloops BMX Club’s
new track on Ord Road is more remote than its former home on McArthur Island, though there are neighbours — a trailer court backs onto the BMX facility and BC Transit’s Kamloops headquarters are next door. Messere is hoping someone from the trailer court heard or saw something on the weekend, adding Mounties will be looking at BC Transit surveillance-video footage on the chance cameras caught images of the burglars, who drove over a chain-link fence to enter the property. Messere said there were “burnout marks” next to the containers, which indicated the thieves tried to pry off the doors with a vehicle. He said the hinges were finally cut when thieves could not open the three padlocks and a “monster lock” used to secure the goods. He said the bikes and helmets stolen were used for newcomers and for kids who do not have full equipment.
Messere said he received a message via Facebook that someone was trying to sell BMX bikes at the McArthur Island skate park, a tip he was following up on yesterday. “We are a club that provides a place for adults to come together and have fun and race,” Messere said. “We provide a safe place for kids to race and show them the basics of bike riding. With this break-in, it has cost the club everything from running a simple practice to providing a bike to borrow to a family in need at the track.” The club’s season wrapped up about two weeks ago and the goal is to have the equipment replaced in time for the spring season. To view photos of the five stolen bikes, visit the Kamloops BMX Club Facebook page. Anybody with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

IVO CINEL
May 22, 1982 ~ October 13, 2013
As a young boy he was full of energy, loved his Hot Wheels, biking and family camping. His favourite part of high school was not books but football and rock climbing, and it was also where he made his lifelong friendships. When David left home, he lived in Vancouver for several years, working as a steel worker and a plumber’s apprentice. He then headed north to Rainbow Lake, then Grande Prairie, eventually settling in Peace River, where he met and married Shirleen. David found his greatest joy and sense of accomplishment when his three babies entered his world. He cherished the little people they were and will watch over the people they will become. They miss him immensely. He leaves behind a daughter and two sons, 11-year-old Harmony, 7-year-old William and 6-year old Ronnie. David was predeceased by his mother and father in 1987 and 2012 respectively. He leaves behind his sisters Cindy (Albert), Gabriel, Karen (Jim) Duffey, niece Laura Finden, nephews Kyle Brooks, Brandon Gabriel, Layton Gabriel, great-nephew Wyatt Finden, aunts and numerous cousins. Blessing the guidance and compassion of Tom Kissick, Becky, for initiating a Memorial Fund for David’s three children; and Lori Ann, Ryan, Troy and the rest of the All Peace Towing family.

BEAU MURRAY MAYES
David was born in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital in Vernon, BC in December of 1963, a blue-eyed cherub welcomed by his two sisters. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Kamloops, BC, where we grew up.
Schoening Funeral Service 250-374-1454
In Loving Memory of
When we asked Mom what she wanted in her obituary, she said, “Don’t be boring.” Which is an unusual request from an accountant, but she was an unusual accountant, so we ought to have expected as much. (Have you ever tried to write a “not boring” obituary? It’s not easy. But, then, everything about Mom was special, so maybe that’s what prevents it from being boring.) Eleatha was born in Eastend, Saskatchewan on January 25, 1948 to William and Elsie Kay. She grew up in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Striking out on her own, she moved to Cranbrook in 1966 to begin her career as an accounting student. She made lifelong friends and met a dashing Robert Petrie (a man she swore she would never date). They were married in North Vancouver in 1973. Her “early career years” (as she described them) were some of the happiest of her life. Aside from her family, she was the most proud of the work she did with CanDive in North Vancouver. Despite its distance from her beloved ocean, Eleatha and Bob moved to Kamloops in 1978, because family was the most important thing. (This theme continued throughout her life.) She was absolutely devoted to her family, and spent every day of her life – think about that, for a moment – helping Bob, Reagan and Robert. Eleatha was a consummate volunteer, acting as treasurer (always the treasurer) for countless minor sports teams and volunteer organizations. She loved learning and reading. Both numbers and words were beautiful to her. Eleatha began working for the British Columbia Lottery Corporation at its inception in 1985, holding various financial positions until her retirement in 2003. Retirement suited her: she enjoyed coffeeing with her walking group, working out with her son at his gym, skiing, planning tea parties (always another tea party) with her granddaughter, and, above all else, being with her family. Eleatha passed away from breast cancer on October 9, 2015. She remarked, near the end, that when she used to read “long battle with cancer” in an obituary, she hadn’t understood. “I get it now. But I am not fighting a battle. I choose my battles.” Eleatha is survived by Bob, her cheerful husband of 42 years, her children Reagan (Shawn) and Robert (Crystal), and two spirited grandchildren, Elsie (4 years old) & Simon (7 months old). (And because she would never leave anyone out, whether it was Christmas dinner or an obituary, she is also survived by Emslie and Henry, the grand-dogs.) Eleatha made her parents proud, her friends blessed, her husband smarter, her kids feel loved, and her grandkids the centre of the universe. She was right on all counts. A service will be held at Calvary Temple on Friday, October 16, 2015 at 1:30. In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations for a scholarship in Eleatha’s name with The Society of Management Accountants of British Columbia.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Paul Valdemar Horsdal and Gary Fjellgaard are making their annual fall trip to Kamloops on Nov. 7. Tickets for the show, which is at Sagebrush Theatre, are on sale at the Kamloops Live box office.
OH, GARY, WE MISSED YOU
DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
O
n the day KTW talked with Gary Fjellgaard, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame member declared it “a grand day.” The sun was shining in Nanaimo and he was headed into the studio to put the finishing touches on another CD with his longtime friend Paul Valdemar Horsdal — best known as Valdy. Just two years shy of marking eight decades of life, Fjellgaard laughs when asked when he’s going to stop making music. “I don’t know,” he says. “You know, I would retire, but I don’t know what to retire from. “There’s always a place to play. Years ago, I didn’t like to play in the bars much but, you know, it doesn’t matter where you play as long as you play.”
He and Valdy are making their annual fall trip to Kamloops on Nov. 7 as they bring their The Contenders tour through the Interior, stopping at Sagebrush Theatre. The pair have been friends for a long time, dating back to the 1970s when Valdy recorded Fjellgaard’s song Me and Mr. Martin, which is about his Martin D18 acoustic guitar. “I was so proud of that,” he said of hearing the song interpreted by Valdy. Fjellgaard set out to meet Valdy and, by 1999, the friendship led to sharing stages across the country in sold-out shows — and it gave birth to the name of the tour, one they use every time they head out together. During a show in Alberta, they enthralled the crowd. “But, we had product to sell,” Fjellgaard said. “So, I wrote The Contenders.” The pair headed into the studio and an album was born. The new CD is a melange of their own works and songs they love.
“Yesterday by Roy Clark, gems like that we wouldn’t just leave alone,” he said. Fjellgaard is proud each track “is just pure, no overdubs,” and, on the day of the interview, he was looking forward to finishing off a new song, Oh Tom We Miss You, written in honour of fellow country/folk musician Stompin’ Tom Connors, who died in 2013. He’s hoping the CDs are ready for the tour, which starts on Oct. 30 in Armstrong at the Zion United Church Hall and wraps up in Kamloops a week later. “Then we’ll go our separate ways again,” he said. Fjellgaard is happy with the music, but particularly delighted with the cover art for it. It’s a picture shot at floor level with his cowboy boots and Valdy’s running shoes and a mic in front of them — a photograph that has given the release its title, Off the Floor. Tickets for the show are on sale at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Review: Outright hilarity DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
If theatre that makes you think, challenges your viewpoint and gives you another perspective on the world is your thing, skip Don’t Dress For Dinner. All it provides is laughter, giggles and outright hilarity. Really, it’s a couple of hours of fun, frivolity and a bit of farce, with a cast of talented actors telling the story of adultery, mistaken identities, some Tim Currie-worthy campiness and spot-on timing. The set looked some-
what familiar to that of Boeing Boeing from the 2013 season, with lots of doors to be slammed, a comfy couch and a stocked liquor cabinet. Enter the cast and the sense of deja vu continued, and for good reason; this play chosen to kick off Western Canada Theatre’s main-stage season was written by the same playwright (Marc Camoletti) who created Boeing Boeing. In many ways, it’s a continuation of that tale and the theatre has wisely brought back most of that cast for this instalment. It again centres on

Bernard The Cad — lovable as he may seem, he truly is one — taking advantage of his best friend, Robert The Dolt, to cheat on his wife with his mistress. Todd Thompson is Bernard, taking over the role Brett Christopher played in the earlier telling of wanton lust and using your friends — and he’s delightful. He’s funny, he’s exasperating and he’s actually quite likeable as he tries to get out of the mess he’s created by inviting his mistress, Suzanne (Krista Colosimo,) to visit while his wife, Jacqueline (Alison Deon), is out of town. Unexpectedly, Robert (Kirk Smith) arrives for a visit, a fact that sparks Jacqueline to cancel her weekend away with her mother. Smith is, as in Boeing Boeing, the stereotypical oh-so-stupid friend who agrees to Robert’s plan on how to get through the weekend with wife and girlfriend sharing the dinner table. His physicality in the role borders on slapstick funny, but it works perfectly with the script. He definitely earned the sudden applause at the
i pledge...
end of one speech, when he improvised an explanation of the evening. The only other new cast member is Beau Dixon, who has a short time on stage as Degenstein’s husband. His sudden arrival throws another wrinkle into the web of lies and constantly changing identities — and he’s hilarious. My son and I loved Colosimo and Deon but, truth be told, it was Degenstein that sparked the most laughter from us. As she alternately had to be the cook, the girlfriend, the nice and the wife — and, sometimes, a combination of the two — her sense of timing and comic delivery was a killer. WCT artistic director Daryl Cloran directed the 2013 Camoletti play, but turned that job over to Ashlie Corcoran, artistic director of Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque, Ont. The play opened there in the summer and, later this year, it heads off to Gateway Theatre in Richmond, another example of the co-productions WCT does every year. Fort tickets, call 250-374-5483.

Throughout October, salons across B.C. will be participating in Streak for Cancer, a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society that involves putting pink streaks in clients’ hair. For a $10 minimum donation, clients at participating salons can get a pink hair streak to show their support for women facing breast cancer, a disease that affects more than 3,000 British Columbian women every year. Each salon will do the event a little differently, including the type of streak (permanent, temporary or hair extension) and whether or not the event is for one day or the entire month. “This is a fun, simple way for people to show their support
during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Jennifer Harbaruk, revenue development co-ordinator with the Canadian Cancer Society. “We’ve definitely come a long way. In 1986, breast-cancer patients had a 53 per cent chance of survival. Thanks to significant investment in breast-cancer research, the survival rate is now 88 per cent. That’s a 35 per cent increase in only 26 years. Wouldn’t it be amazing if that survival rate was 100 per cent?” Kamloops salons
taking part in Streak for Cancer include: • Angelina from Get Polished (519 Victoria St.) will be set up to give pink streaks at the salon from Oct. 14 to Oct. 17 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m No appointment necessary.

WHO SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED WITH PEACE MEDAL? The Kamloops YMCAYWCA is accepting nominations for its annual Peace Medal. It’s a program run at the national level to recognize people or groups who have demonstrated a commitment to building peace within their community or communities elsewhere in the world. It’s not open to professionals paid to work on peace and is focused on
those who make a difference without special resources, status, wealth or position. Last year’s winner was Louise Edwards, who was recognized for her work with women and families in Kamloops and on the Lower Mainland, volunteerism that was sparked more than three decades ago when she met an inmate in a correctional centre who needed some help. Nomination guidelines
include a requirement the focus be on activities in the past two years. Self-nominations are not accepted. The Y also looks for characters it feels reflect peace — participation, empathy, advocacy, community and empowerment. The deadline to nominate someone is Monday, Oct. 19. Information and forms are available online at kamloopsy.org/peace.htm.

This was another one of those ubiquitous pieces of omnibus legislation, over 60 pages in length and changing at least eight “I was a child, sang the anthem with pride. It stood for peace, justice pieces of legislation, drafted and enacted without consultation and human rights.” with non-governmental or non-partisan experts in the areas of This phrase resonated so deeply with me as it is exactly the Canadian human rights and security.

CSIS may now spread misinformation about you, influence your In 2006, Mr. Harper famously stated: “You won’t recognize Canada employer to fire you, freeze your financial assets and even arrest when I am through with it.” and detain you without charge or warrant. Did any of us have any idea that his intention was to destroy the cornerstones of parliamentary democracy in this country and transform a country famous and held in high esteem for humanitarian efforts and peacekeeping into a war mongering Bush-style Republican America?
So, if a political science professor offers a scathing critique of a government policy, can they expect CSIS to ruin their life? If I were to grab my placard in support of water protections that would run counter to government policy, could I expect to be detained in some secret prison like the U.S.-run secret prisons recently exposed?

We are no longer the Canada we once were and, if you haven’t yet been tossed out of slumber yet, you are in for a rude awakening. If the Conservatives are restored, we will see the effects of Bill C51 (the so-called Anti-Terrorism Act) come into effect. Do you know that this law has given every single government department a mandate to collect information on YOU. Not the terrorist — YOU.
Dissent is a fundamental democratic freedom that is necessary to ensure that it is, in fact, the body politic speaking in Parliament. Dissent is critical to providing checks and balances to ensure the even-handed exercise of power.

You, as a Canadian, no longer have any privacy rights as it pertains to financial information, your tax returns, EI, CPP, your travel history and plans both for business or pleasure and, since it is EVERY government department that is mandated to collect information, this would presumably include Health Canada.
Please consider the ongoing dismantling of democracy we are suffering at the hands of this government. And you, young Canadians, think of the people around the world who are dying in order to be able to vote; in order for their voice to be heard through their ballot.
Do we have any privacy with respect to our health issues? Now, those who blindly fall in line behind this government are quick to chime in that they have nothing to hide. Well, the issue is not whether or not you have anything to hide. The question is: What business does the federal government have snooping and collecting information on every single aspect of your life?
We take these rights for granted because we have yet to feel what it is like to live without them.

Probe into death still incomplete FAMILY OF MAN SHOT BY POLICE A YEAR AGO TODAY AWAIT ANSWERS THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A year after a British Columbia man was shot by police on Thanksgiving, his family is still waiting to find out what exactly happened. Peter de Groot was killed on Oct. 13, 2014, after he had a confrontation with police in the small community of Slocan in southeastern B.C. He fled into the bush near his property, prompting a days-long manhunt. RCMP alleged de Groot shot at officers before fleeing. The force told media the 45 year-old man was known to police and should be considered armed and dangerous. De Groot’s family denied he was a threat, saying he had no history of violence or run-ins with the law. The case was turned over to B.C.’s police watchdog, which reviews police
handling of incidents that result in death or serious injury. De Groot’s family issued a statement on Sunday saying they have yet to see any details of the agency’s investigation. “We are still waiting on any results of the investigation from the Independent Investigations Office of B.C.,” the family said in a statement issued by their lawyer, Don Sorochan. “Our perspective and our position on the matter remains unchanged,’’ Sorochan said in an email that the family has not made a decision on whether they will file a lawsuit and that they are waiting on the Investigations Office of B.C.’s report into all the facts and circumstances of de Groot’s death. The agency is waiting on reports about some of the elements of the
investigation before the chief civilian director decides whether any of the officers involved may have committed an offence, Investigations Office of B.C. spokesman Marten Youssef said in an email. Firearms analysis of the case is expected within the next two months, he added. “While we wait for these reports, we never lose sight of those whose lives were changed and who continue to wait,’’ Youssef said. The statement from de Groot’s family also thanked everyone who gave them love and support over the past year. “We would like to remember our brother today for the honourable person that he was and we hope that he rests with the knowledge that he was dearly loved.’’

NATIONAL NEWS
The Nobel Prize goes to . . . . . . ANGUS DEATON FOR WORK ON MEASURING POVERTY THEASSOCIATED PRESS
ONLY $325
STOCKHOLM — Princeton University’s Angus Deaton won the Nobel Prize in Economics yesterday for his wide-ranging work on consumption that has helped redefine the way poverty is measured around the world, notably in India. Deaton, 69, won the eight-million Swedish kronor (about CDN$1.2 million) prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for work that the award committee says has had “immense importance for human welfare, not least in poor countries.’’ The secretary of the award committee, Torsten Persson, said Deaton’s research has “really shown other researchers and international organizations like the World Bank how to go about understanding poverty at the very basic level, so that’s perhaps the finest and most important contribution he has made.’’ Deaton, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and holds U.S. and British dual citizenship, said he was delighted to have won the prize and was pleased the committee decided to award work that concerns the poor people of the world. In a press conference following the announcement, Deaton said he expects extreme poverty in the world to continue decreasing, but that he isn’t “blindly optimistic.’’ He said there are “tremendous health problems among adults and children in India, where there has been a lot of progress.’’ Deaton noted half of the children in the country are “still malnourished’’ and “for
many people in the world, things are very bad, indeed.’’ The prize committee said Deaton’s work revolves around three central questions: How do consumers distribute their spending among different goods? How much of society’s income is spent and how much is saved? How do we best measure and analyze welfare and poverty? Committee member Jakob Svensson said Deaton introduced the Almost Ideal Demand System, which has become a standard tool used by governments to study what effect a change in economic policy — such as an increase in sales taxes on food — will have on different social groups and how large the subsequent gains or losses will be. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences also highlighted the model that has become known as the Deaton Paradox, in which he laid bare a contradiction between earlier theory and data on consumer behaviour. Ingvild Almas, associate professor at the Norwegian School of Economics, said the Indian government has changed its methodology for measuring poverty thanks to research from the likes of Deaton and that has affected poverty-reduction policies. Yesterday’s announcement concludes this year’s presentations of Nobel winners. The medicine prize went to three scientists from Japan, the U.S. and China who discovered drugs to fight malaria and other tropical diseases. Japanese and Canadian scientists
won the physics prize for discovering that tiny particles called neutrinos have mass and scientists from Sweden, the U.S. and Turkey won the chemistry prize for their research into the way cells repair damaged DNA. Belarusian investigative journalist Svetlana Alexievich won the literature award while the peace prize went to The National Dialogue Quartet in Tunisia for its contribution to building democracy in Tunisia following the 2011
Jasmine Revolution. The awards will be handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896, at lavish ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo.

REVIEW: URBAN SMART A FUNKY RUNABOUT With only 89 h.p. and 100 lb.-ft of torque, the five-speed made diving in and out of traffic a lot of fun. The vast majority of buyers will get the automatic equipped with a sport setting that also provides a more spirited drive. For those who want paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, opt for the sport package that also upgrades the wheels from 15-inches to 16-inches. The wider platform makes the 2016 Smart much more stable at all speeds, in fact on the highway it was very smooth and could easily keep up with traffic.
ZACK SPENCER
DRIVEWAY CANADA
Mercedes-Benz chose a funky city to showcase its urban city runabout — the allnew Smart fortwo (for two people). Since Portland is already known for keeping it weird it was amazing to see just how much attention this little car got in a city littered with strangely coloured hair, far-out fashion, trendy food trucks and more hipster beards than a lumberjack show. Over and over, the questions from passersby asked if we were attending a Smart car convention. Perhaps not surprisingly, given there were more than a dozen brightly coloured Smart cars buzzing around the city during the three-week media launch.
LOOKS
Just like Vancouver, Portland is in the Car2Go car-sharing program, so those blue and white cars are all over the road. The all-new 2016 model has a more grown-up look to it. The length is exactly the same, making it easy to park and
VERDICT
Mercedes-Benz recently launched its new Smart car. Driveway Canada’s Zack Spencer took one for a test drive and said it looks a bit more “grown up” than past models and comes equipped with a much less jerky transmission.
turn, but the width side-to-side has been increased by 10 centimetres, making the front cabin a much more conventional size. This size update also helps make the design look more masculine, with bigger headlamps and taillights. There are LED marker lights available.
The body is still made of dent-resistant polymer panels that can be replaced individually. The black sections of the body are made of high-strength, lightweight steel that makes up what Mercedes calls the Tridion Safety Cell. This has proven to be very safe in the previous car and now
Congratulations
utilizes more of that lightweight steel.
INSIDE
With a wider cabin, the dash now looks like a more conventional subcompact. The quirkiness of the previous car was fun, but this new model is much more practical. The space between the driver and passenger never feels cramped and the rear cargo rear has an addi-
tional 10 litres of space. I particularly like the clam-shaped rear tailgate and flip-up hatch, providing a sturdy platform to sit on. The biggest news for many buyers will be the addition of a smartphone cradle built into the radio unit. With this, the driver’s smart device can charge and provide information to the radio via Bluetooth. The free Smart

Cross Connect app lets the driver use the basic functions of the phone like music, navigation and phone via large buttons. The test unit was an early beta unit and had many bugs. To be honest, I ended up using my phone’s native apps, but I did enjoy the useful cradle. There is an optional navigation screen but, instead of opting for the $1,300 additional cost, I’d stick with the phone holder.
DRIVE
What has really changed is the way this latest Smart drives. Gone is the jerky transmission of the older unit. It is replaced by a fivespeed manual or an all-new duel clutch sixspeed automatic. The manual is a first for this market and made the most out of the new 900cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
The Smart car has always been a lifestyle choice. Starting at $17,300, there are plenty of subcompact cars with seating for five and much more cargo capacity. This car isn’t about getting the most for the money, but getting around with ease. The turning radius is amazing; the driver can make manouevres you would imagine only a cyclist could pull off. It’s remarkable. Parking is a snap and the smallest spaces are for the taking. The Smart is available with an optional moon roof. The convertible version, along with the electric model, will come some time in 2016. The rest of the trim packages include the middle Passion trim for $18,800 and the top Prime model for $20,900. To get a car with an automatic, the buyer needs to add $1,400 to each trim and the sport package is $800. This isn’t an inexpensive car, but it is a much better Smart in every direction.
