Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said Canadians deserve to be consulted before the Liberal government removes a section of the Criminal Code that allows parents to spank their kids. Prime Justin 2016 IIHFMinister Ice Hockey Women’s WorldTrudeau Championship Logo Guide has pledged to adopt all recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. One of those recommendations calls for removal the section of the Criminal Code that allows spanking, or corporal punishment, within strict limits. “It’s one of the recommendations I thought needed a broader Canadian conversation,” McLeod told KTW. She doesn’t believe Canadians are broadly aware a ban on spanking is contained in the report on Indian residential schools. Kamloops lawyer Sheldon Tate has defended a number of parents accused of going too far with corporal punishment and veering into assault. “If they remove the defence [section 43], any application of force would amount to an assault,” Tate said. Under the law, a child cannot consent to spanking. A simple slap on the behind to a toddler in a public place could result English (vertical)

Tate said he could also see problems in the years ahead if children grow up and claim their parents spanked them when they were minors. Kamloops Roman Catholic Bishop David Monroe said he would not counsel corporal punishment, favouring “instruction over destruction.” He recalled a time as a child when his younger brother cut a hole in his bedspread to make a tent. The punishment from his father involved his brother learning to use a needle and thread to repair the damage. McLeod said the Liberal government has said little about the issue. “I’m concerned they’re not going to have that debate,” she said.

More data from the air-quality station installed in Aberdeen in the fall confirms widely held belief that winds overwhelming come from the south — from the direction of the proposed Ajax mine. Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment (KPHE) released a report with updated analysis of the Aberdeen meteorological station located beside Pacific Way elementary. “South [direction of winds] would be three-quarters of the time,” said Robert Schemenauer, a PhD scientist who analyzed the publicly available data from the station. Schemenauer cautioned the data comprised only 2.5 months and wind direction could change at other times in the year. He added, however, the findings agree with generally held views by residents about wind direction. Winds hailed from the south 74 per cent of the time and from the north 26 per cent of the time measured.
That our modelling — done over a year ago — seems to agree with measurements that just started in October is very encouraging.
”
— PETER REID, Stantec consultant speaking for KGHM Ajax
KPHE is calling on mine developer KGHM Ajax to acknowledge the new data as part of its environmental application, as well as particulate values found at the site. In general, air quality in Aberdeen is better than downtown. In November, the newly installed Aberdeen station had an average reading of 6.8 micrograms, below the ministry’s annual average objective of 8 micrograms and almost half the level of particulate downtown. In response, KGHM Ajax submitted a statement from Peter Reid, a consultant with engineering firm Stantec.
“We, too, have been looking at the new Aberdeen station data with interest. We are encouraged because, as best we can tell, these measurements agree with our CALPUFF modelling predictions,” the statement said. “As part of our assessment, we have modelled emissions from the City of Kamloops (called our base case). “It shows a similar pattern where air quality is better in Aberdeen than in the valley bottom. That our modelling — done over a year ago — seems to agree with measurements that just started in October is very encouraging.” Analysis in the KPHE report found pollutant sources at the Aberdeen station, in the form of tiny particulates, come from a northerly direction, toward Domtar Corp.’s pulp mill, as well as from traffic and other sources in the valley. Schemenauer said the southerly direction from Aberdeen represents a source of clean air, something he said is potentially compromised by dust, fuel and other particulate from an open-pit mine that would be operating several kilometres away.

Kamloops records a rarity in 2015: a murderfree year

Last year was an anomalous one for Kamloops Mounties — they didn’t have any murders to investigate. “We did not have any homicides in 2015,” RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush told KTW. “We probably average one or two a year over the last five years.” The last murder to have been investigated by Kamloops RCMP was the Dec. 30, 2014, slaying of Deanne Wheeler, who was found dead in the North Shore apartment of her former boyfriend. Bush said she can’t recall a year in which Kamloops police had no murders to investigate. “That’s probably the first time in many years that we’ve had a year without, that I can think of,” she said. “It’s rare that we’d have a year without a homicide investigation initiated.” Wheeler’s death was the only murder in Kamloops in 2014. In 2013, three people were killed in Kamloops, down from six the previous year. Overall, Bush said, police were busy in Kamloops last year. She said the file count was up by about 1,500 over 2014.
Will clock once again tick-tock? ANDREA KLASSEN

It’s still not clear if the hands of time will move again at the Kamloops cenotaph. While an anonymous donation of $50,000 and a federal government grant of $25,000 gave the city the cash to undertake repairs on the memorial near Stuart Wood elementary, Kamloops Museum and Archives supervisor Julia Cyr said the fate of the
cenotaph’s clock remains undecided. The clock hasn’t worked for much of the cenotaph’s history. Getting time moving became a joint cause of local veterans and students at Stuart Wood, who staged a letter-writing campaign to help secure federal funding for the project from Veterans Affairs. “Hopefully, we’ll see in January or February if the clock really can get moving again or not,” Cyr said. She said part of the city’s plan is to seal off the inside of the monument to
prevent rock dust from falling into the clock’s inner workings. The city will also remove the concrete around the cenotaph and replace it with improved paving. Stairs leading to the site will get a similar upgrade. In addition to its grant and donation, the city will spend an estimated $13,000 on upgrades. The Royal Canadian Legion and Rocky Mountain Rangers also offered some funding for the project. Cyr said the city hopes to get started on the cenotaph repairs in the spring.

Sahali hit and run was part of larger crime spree A pickup truck involved in a hitand-run in Sahali on Tuesday afternoon was stolen from Cherry Creek minutes earlier and is connected to a crime spree. The crime wave includes two stolen vehicles, a burglary that netted thieves firearms and the victim of the break-and-enter being rammed in his vehicle by the culprits driving the two stolen automobiles. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Mounties pieced together the string of incidents following a hit -and-run incident at Summit and Waddington drives at 4:15 p.m. At that time, police were called to the intersection after a Smart car was struck by a Chevrolet pickup truck. The driver of the truck drove away, while the male driver of the Smart car was taken to Royal Inland Hospital to be treated for injuries. Witnesses helped police find the pickup
truck nearby, which is when Mounties began tying it to the crime spree. The truck, a 2007 Chevy Silverado, had been reported stolen from a home in Cherry Creek, 10 minutes east of Kamloops, at about 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Bush said a resident returning home encountered someone driving his brother’s pickup truck, followed by someone driving a 1993 green Jeep. Bush said the resident tried to block the vehicles, but the drivers of the pickup truck and Jeep rammed their way through and headed toward Kamloops on the highway. The resident was uninjured and went to his home, where he discovered it had been burgled, with several firearms among the items stolen. Earlier on Tuesday, at about 9 a.m., the Jeep was reported stolen from a home on Curlew Road in Valleyview. Its licence plate is BF742B.
As of yesterday morning, police had recovered the stolen
pickup truck, but the stolen Jeep — and those behind the crime
spree — had yet to be found. Bush said officers are trying to identi-

One man is in custody after allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident on Westsyde Road on Saturday afternoon. An SUV was being driven northbound and crossed into the oncoming lane, colliding with a southbound vehicle. The lone occupant of the southbound vehicle was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Following the collision, the driver of the northbound vehicle fled the scene before police arrived, winding up in the area around Oak Hills Boulevard. An RCMP police dog service team was used to track a sus-
pect, who was arrested as he tried to leave the area in a taxi. A 30-year-old Kamloops resident has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

Loonie falls further as oil slides
THE GOSPEL MESSAGE Shared Simply & Freely
SUNDAYS AT 3:30PM Commencing January 10th
Desert Gardens Seniors’ Community Centre 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops
Canadian dollar hits lowest point since 2003; TSX posts triple-digit loss THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The Canadian dollar ended the day at its lowest point in more than 12 years yesterday as worries over global economic growth continued to roil equity markets worldwide and drag down commodity prices. The oil-sensitive loonie closed down 0.46 of a U.S. cent at 71.02 cents U.S. after falling below 71 cents earlier in the day. That marked the dollar’s lowest close since July 2003 when it was recovering from a historic low of 61.79 cents US set in January 2002. The February contract for benchmark crude oil dropped $2 to settle at US$33.97 a barrel, the lowest level since 2008, while gold, seen as a safe haven in times of uncertainty, rose $13.50 to end trading at US$1,091.90 a troy ounce.
On equity markets, the Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index tumbled 193.34 points to end the day at 12,726.80, the sixth consecutive losing session of a post-Christmas slump. In New York, the Dow Jones average fell 252.15 points to close at 16,906.51, while the S&P 500 lost 26.45 points to 1,990.26 and the Nasdaq dropped 55.67 points to 4,835.76. Norman Raschkowan, senior partner at Sage Road Advisors, said there appear to be few reasons for optimism about the Canadian economy, with tepid global growth dragging down prices for the country’s commodity exports, including oil. “Everybody’s in the more bearish, more concerned camp,” he said. “The more cyclical sectors are getting hit harder, the
resource sectors in particular, so Canada feels the brunt of that.” A spat between Saudi Arabia and Iran earlier this week did little to budge the oil price, Raschkowan said, reinforcing the market’s concerns about crude’s outlook. The loonie has been trading progressively lower for some time, partly because of the declining value of crude oil and other commodities, as well as slow economic growth and the U.S. dollar’s rise against most major currencies. On Tuesday, Bank of Montreal chief economist Douglas Porter told a gathering of leading economists that the loonie could fall below 70 cents U.S. before it begins to recover. A dim economic future hurts the dollar in part because it gives investors
little reason to buy up the Canadian dollars they need to invest in Canadian companies, Raschkowan said. McGill University economics professor Chris Ragan said a cheap Canadian dollar means consumers can expect to pay more for imports such as coffee, tropical fruits and consumer electronics. At the same time, he said, a low loonie should help boost Canada’s exports and foreign investment. “If the Canadian dollar is low, stays low and is seen to stay low for some time, then that’s one more reason why you do your next expansion plant in Ontario rather than in Michigan,” he said. In other commodities, February natural gas fell 5.8 cents to US$2.267 per mmBtu and March copper shed 0.75 of a cent to US$2.088 a pound.
New airline promises Canada condemns rock-bottom pricing North Korean claim about bomb NORTH KOREA
ROSS MAROWITS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canada is condemning North Korea for what Pyongyang says was its first test of a hydrogen bomb. Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion initially took to Twitter to express Canada’s outrage about the “reckless behaviour’’ of North Korea, then followed that up with a formal statement. “We unequivocally condemn the behaviour of North Korea, which today claimed to have detonated a nuclear weapon,’’ the statement said. “North Korea’s continued violations of its international obligations pose a grave threat to international peace and security, and particularly to the stability of the region.’’ North Korea’s announcement has been met with widespread international skepticism. But Dion said: “Any nuclear testing by North Korea would be an illegal and provocative action.’’ The development has ratcheted up tension between the impoverished pariah state and the rest of the world, and could lead to more sanctions. Conservative foreign affairs critic Tony Clement called on the government to take a strong stand with its allies, while not losing sight of the severe human rights violations of the Pyongyang regime. “The regime in Pyongyang continues to be a threat to world peace, and its self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world only serves to further oppress its own citizens,’’ Clement said in a statement. Clement also noted the continued imprisonment of a Canadian in North Korea, Rev. Hyeon Soo Lim. Dion said Canada remains engaged with the international community on the issue and “support efforts to forge multilateral solutions to enhance security in the Asia-Pacific region.’’

we invite you to come and hear
MONTREAL — A new airline in Canada is hoping to shake up travel next month by offering rock-bottom fares — but be prepared to pay for everything from carry-on luggage, on-board drinks and printed boarding passes. NewLeaf Travel, which announced yesterday it will fly between seven cities in the country starting Feb. 12, is unabashedly courting the budget traveller market. On its website, it says, “Your fare gets you the two essentials: a seat and a seatbelt. The rest is up to you.’’ The company will initially fly two 156-seat Boeing 737 aircraft leased from Kelowna’s Flair Airlines. It aims to have a fleet of 15 planes including larger models of the popular aircraft in three years if its plans to expand across Canada and into the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean are successful. NewLeaf chief commercial officer Dean Dacko said Canadians have been forced to pay too much for air travel because of a lack of competition. “There’s a huge hole in the market today of Canadians that are just looking for a more cost-effective travel value for their travel dollar and we believe that we can fill that void,’’ he said. Initial interest in the airline caused its online booking system to crash — an unfortunate but potentially positive omen, said Dacko. “It’s amazing that we’ve had that
much interest that fast.’’ The company is promoting oneway fares for as low as $89 including taxes. But passengers will face additional charges ranging from $25 to $150 for a variety of services, including checked-in and carry-on bags, seat selection and printed boarding passes. The carrier will fly into Halifax, Hamilton, Regina, Saskatoon, Abbotsford, Kelowna and Winnipeg, where the carrier is based. About one-third of capacity will be available at the lowest fares with the cheapest fares available for flights between the B.C. and Saskatchewan cities, NewLeaf said. Fares will be slightly higher for longer distances. The longest flights between Hamilton and Kelowna will start at $149. WestJet and Air Canada flights from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport to Kelowna cost at least $340. Airlines around the world, including large carriers like WestJet and Air Canada, have been moving to a similar so-called unbundled model. Dacko said NewLeaf is going to be disruptive to Canada’s two largest airlines, but has deliberately avoided going head-to-head by using secondary airports where costs are at least half of those at larger facilities. It also won’t offer daily service. WestJet, which said it has been Canada’s low-fare leader since it got off the ground with three planes in 1996, said it will “vigorously defend this position in the market.’’

LET’S TALK ABOUT SPANKING KIDS
N
ew Zealand and Costa Rica, among other countries, have banned spanking. Should Canada follow suit and add spanking one’s kid to the list of actions that could result in an assault charge under the Criminal Code of Canada? Yes, according to one of the recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the body that produced the landmark report into the experiences of those who lived through, and were often abused in, the Indian residential-school system. The so-called spanking law now allows parents and caregivers to use force to discipline a child. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod has called attention to that recommendation, noting the newly elected Liberals have vowed to adopt all 94 recommendations. If that happens, taking your hand and slapping it across the bottom of your screaming child in a department store would in effect be a crime. McLeod’s concern is that Canadians are generally not aware of such ramifications if Justin Trudeau’s government implements all recommendations, including the spanking provision. Trudeau’s father, Pierre, famously declared the state had no business in the bedrooms of Canadians; there will be many arguing the state has no right getting involved in the business of parents disciplining their kids. Granted, there is decades of research that shows spanking is not only ineffective, but can produce children even more prone to bad behaviour. But, when it comes to family issues between the four walls of a home, research will often hold no sway with moms and dads who believe in their right to parent as they see fit. The debate will rage on forever, but McLeod’s call for more discussion on the issue is a rational request. We suspect this story will elicit much response from readers — as well it should.

Tears of common sense
B
arack Obama cried — and I wanted to cheer. He shed tears as he did something that should have been done years ago and exercised his right as president of the United States to order new gun-control laws. It’s about time. Actually, it’s way too late — but the timeworn adage “better late than never” certainly applies. Last year, there were 52,606 gun incidents in the U.S., leading to 13,344 deaths and another 26,929 injuries, according to Gun Violence Archive, a not-for-profit corporation that collects information on gun-violence incidents from a variety of sources. It then checks for accuracy and compiles it on its website, providing what it calls “verified data to those who need to use it in their research, advocacy or writing.” The statistics are broken down further and the picture it creates is one certainly worthy of presidential tears. There were 692 children from newborn to age 11 injured or killed by a gun last year and another 2,688 teens ages 12 to 17 killed by firearms. There were 330 mass shootings, 4,362 shootings involving police officers and another 2,318 shootings during home invasions. Guns were used defensively 1,275 times and there were 1,944 accidental shootings. In every category but one, the numbers had grown from those collected for 2014; the only one to show some improvement, if one can use that word when talking about this, is in home invasions.
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL In 2014, there were almost 300 more home invasions where guns were used. This year, as of 11 a.m. yesterday, there had been another 589 gun incidents, 163 deaths, 360 injuries, 10 children killed or injured, 28 teenagers killed or hurt, one mass shooting, 53 officer-involved incidences, 22 home invasions with guns used, 16 times guns were used defensively and 31 accidental shootings. So, yes, it’s about time someone cried about this. Yet, reading the comments on just one newspaper’s story about Obama’s press conference and his announcement of the law changes — I opted for the Washington Post — showed nauseating missives. There was one from someone who uses the online handle LeroyBoy, who wrote most of the gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides and have been increasing among white adult males during Obama’s term. Criticized, LeroyBoy went on to declare an American is four times more likely to be killed by a bad prescription than a gun.
Sadly, LeroyBoy reflects too many Americans who believe their Constitution gives them the right to buy guns, to take them to soccer games and to shoot first and ask questions later — which has led to a lot of parents killing their kids, who were coming home late. They forget it was written back when about the only gun you could buy was a musket, something that could shoot about three rounds a minute and only go a distance of about 50 metres. Too many Americans think the second amendment gives them the right to buy an AK-47 that shoots 600 rounds a minute and can go 400 metres or an M-16 that shoots 950 rounds a minute and can kill a person 800 metres away. Curious how Canada compares? Last month, Global News reported Americans are almost seven per cent more likely to die from a gunshot than Canadians are to die in a car accident. American firearm death rates are three times higher than the Canadian death rates from ovarian cancer and Parkinson’s disease and 42 per cent higher than our prostate-cancer death rate. In 2009, as he was sworn in for his first term as president, Obama told his nation and the world watching that “what the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them, that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.” Eight years later, the stale arguments remain but, finally, a president has done something. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

abuses his or her privileges, they should lose that privilege. For example, how can someone become a Canadian citizen and, on the same day, denounce our laws and traditions and a judge deems it OK? We need to make judges accountable for their bad decisions. They need to get out from behind their ivory towers and get in touch with the people who have made this country so great. This came from hard work, high values and, most of all common sense — not sitting behind a desk reading books that, to the average Canadian, have little meaning. Let’s get back to the values that make Canada great for the majority, not the few. Lorne Tippe Kamloops
WE SHOULD ALL BE ATTACKING BAD IDEAS Editor: According to Les Evens’ letter of Jan. 1 (‘Throw balloons, not bricks,’), the world would be a much calmer place if we showed respect. On the surface, it might sound like a great idea, but just think about it for a few seconds. Scratch under the surface and what do you find? Do you still think it “would be the end of most religious wars.” I hardly think so. According to my philosophy of life, I respect your rights and freedoms to have your own opinions and to express them freely. But, that does not mean I promise to respect said opinions. If I see your ideas range from crackpot ideas to outright dangerous propositions, you should realize I have the right to oppose and criticize them — and, at the top of the range, I
even have the duty to do so. As long as we live in a democracy, we have freedom of speech and we should not let political correctness deprive us of it. The Organization of the Islamic Conference tried to get the United Nations to pass a resolution declaring it was a crime to criticize or disrespect Islam. The request was rejected and for good reason — it was a very bad idea. If some religion tells you that, if your daughter is raped, you should kill her to redeem the honour of the family, do you think it is an idea worthy of respect? Another book tells you that, if a girl was not a virgin on her wedding night, she should be dragged to her father’s door and stoned to death. Is that an idea worthy of respect? If the so-called Islamic State decrees all kuffars should be killed, is that an idea
worthy of anyone’s respect? The world is in a hell of a mess, mostly because of bad ideas and because people of goodwill are afraid to publicly oppose them, having been silenced by the new liberalism of political correctness. Our Canadian Constitution recognizes our right of free speech and we should use it whenever we see something wrong. We should all criticize, mock and ridicule bad ideas. We should attack the ideas, not the person. If they pretend to be offended, tough. Showing respect for bad ideas is for cowards and would lead to our subjugation by bullies who have no respect for us. C.B. Villeneuve Kamloops

premiers and ask them to come forward to take the helm of the B.C. Conservatives and transform our province,” Brooks said. Alan Forseth, a former party organizer in Kamloops, said he’s not surprised Brooks is leaving. The one-time local party president said the B.C. Conservative Party has been wracked by inner dissension.
“I saw him in November,” Forseth said. “We had a conversation in Kamloops for several hours. Dan looked worn out, to be honest.” Forseth said the party is beset by infighting. He said he was denied membership in November and branded a dissident. Under leader John Cummins, the B.C. Conservatives failed to elect any of the 56 candidates they fielded in the 2013 provincial election. The party garnered 4.8 per cent (85,783 votes) of the popular vote.

than the basic $570 home owner grant offsetting taxes. The revised threshold is $1.2 million and homes above that lose $5 of the grant for every $1,000 in additional value.

“It’s most relevant to seniors on fixed incomes who have seen a tremendous increase in their property values and it’s allowing many of them not to have that additional drain on their limited income.” Seniors whose property tax bills have skyrocketed over the years also have the option of deferring property taxes until
the eventual sale of the home. Finance ministry data provided to Black Press shows residents of more affordable areas of the Lower Mainland are much more likely to claim the home owner grant than those in the priciest areas such as Vancouver and the North Shore. More than 76,600 Surrey homes received the grant in 2014, compared to 63,425 homes in the more populous City of Vancouver. Many Vancouver homes don’t qualify for the home owner grant because of the more rapid climb in house prices there, but they also don’t qualify if they’re not owneroccupied – for example the city’s thousands of investor-owned condos – or if their owners are not Canadian citizens or landed immigrants normally residing in B.C.

order to skim $11 million from home owner grants to general revenue and it was kept frozen at $1.1 million last year. Seniors, veterans and the disabled also may qualify for an additional grant of up to $275. The proportion of B.C. homes valued below the new cut-off for the full grant is 91 per cent, down from 93 per cent last year and 95 per cent in 2012. B.C. Real Estate Association chief economist Cameron Muir said the loss of the home owner grant for some property owners is unlikely to impact the market. “We’re talking about a few hundred dollars per year here,” Muir said. “It has a bigger impact on young home owners who have more stretched budgets.” But most first-time home buyers aren’t purchasing seven-figure homes, he suggested.

Canadian National Rail has confirmed that its yard in Kamloops was the site of a diesel spill on Christmas Day. Kate Fenske, manager of media and community relations for CN, told KTW 7,000 litres of diesel fuel spilled onto the ground as it was being transferred from a rail car to a contractor’s vehicle. Fenske said no diesel entered any
waterways and the entire volume was contained and cleaned up at the spot where it spilled. She added there were no injuries sustained by employees of CN or the contractor, Sands Bulk Transport of Prince George. Fenske said the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Environment Canada were notified of the spill.

Sun Peaks has more snow this year and, soon, it will have more wine. The Sun Peaks Winter Okanagan Wine Festival returns next week from Jan. 14 to Jan. 24 with six new events, including one based around the Kamloops Wine Trail. “We’re gaining momentum every year,” said Kyle Taylor, Tourism Sun Peaks communications specialist. Taylor said events were added in response to feedback and market trends, which included the addition of the Jan. 21 event Welcome to the Kamloops Wine Trail. Hosted by Monte Creek Ranch Winery’s Erik Fisher, it will showcase the four wineries in the Kamloops region at the

Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Centre. “We’re building our own wine trail,” Taylor said. “It’s pretty fantastic and people don’t know. It does get overshadowed by the bigger [Okanagan] wineries.” The Sun Peaks Wine Crawl is new, kicking off the first weekend of the festival on Jan. 15 and geared to a younger crowd. Designed like a beer or pub crawl, attendees will wander through the village — it takes place in the Village Daylodge, Sun Peaks Grand Ballroom and Upper Village Square — and snack on cheeses, popcorn and other
munchies while listening to themed music and sampling B.C. wines under $25. “In that crowd, they’re not as likely to spend the $50 to $60 on bottles of wine,” Taylor said. “These are affordable bottles of wine they can afford on a regular basis.” Outdoor games will take place throughout the village and a tent will be serving up hot cups of mulled wine and apple cider. Another new event is dubbed the Courier de Bois Repas, which translates to “runners of the woods.” The dinner will be held at the Voyageur Bistro on Jan. 19 and will be based on the historical French-Canadian woodsman, featuring fresh bannock, soups, Canadian cheese and paired with — you guessed it — wine. The evening will be facilitated by three hosts: Kevin Tessier, owner of the Voyageur Bistro; Gerit Van Staalduinen, wine educator; and David Beaudoin from the

Dairy Farmers of Canada. “Kevin is a big history buff,” Taylor said. Other new events this year are The Breadth of British Columbia Riesling, The Spirited Apres and Dessert Wines and Aromatic Cheeses, adding to the festivities that vary from wine sampling to dining and seminars. The popular Sun Peaks Progressive Tasting Presented by Westjet will take place on Jan. 22, where attendees bundle up and wander through the village with a wine glass, sampling 30 wineries and more than 100 B.C. wines. Recent snowfall — the hill had seen eight new centimetres in 24 hours when KTW checked — adds to the atmosphere of the outdoor wine tasting, Taylor said. “It feels like a unique winter experience.” Five events have sold out, including the Comforts of Grilled Cheese and Wine event that pairs artisan grilled cheese sandwiches with B.C. wines. The festival has grown from a oneday ice-wine event 18 years ago into the 10-day festival.

will fill in a log for the official Family Literacy Week, Jan. 23 to Jan. 30, on the number of hours they usually spend plugged in, breaking it down to TV, video games, tablets,
computer and cellphone. They will record how they played each day instead. Every class with students taking part will receive a prize,
said Fiona Clare, literacy outreach coordinator for Literacy in Kamloops. Students who bring their log and a book donation to the Kamloops Blazers game on Jan. 29 will be admitted for free, a new initiative this year. Those books will be added to the seventh annual Heap the Honda event, with the dealership ready to start receiving book donations on Saturday and continuing to Jan. 30. Drop-off locations include the dealership at 1308 Josep Way, both library branches (465 Victoria St. and 693 Tranquille Rd.), the Henry Grube Education Centre at 245 Kitchener Cr. and any Bright Red Bookshelf located in the city. This year, the week starts with the 10th annual Family Literacy
Day on Jan. 23, which has traditionally wrapped up the initiative. The move was required because some of the people who help organize Family Literacy Week will be out of town on the last weekend of the month attending an earlychildhood education conference. Clare said Family Literacy Day will have a circus theme this year and will include booths, activities and many Kamloopsians who will read stories to children. It will run on Jan. 23 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Henry Grube Centre. • Merlyn Horton of SafeOnline will give a presentation at Henry Grube on Thursday, Jan. 28, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on parenting in a digital age. The Vancouverbased organization provides educational

Horton, a veteran youth outreach worker, created the organization to promote her belief children and youth who spend time online need informed adults around them who understand the risks and opportunities online environments provide. Horton will also present a workshop on Friday, Jan. 29, from 9 a.m. to noon for childcare and educational professionals and students.

Chairman chuffed with KIBIHT’s trajectory ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
F
or Ted Kowalsky, chairman of the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament (KIBIHT), two moments stood out at the 48th annual event. First, the PA failure that sparked a spontaneous rendition of the Star Spangled Banner from fans in attendance and a stirring performance of the Hungarian national anthem from a player on Team Hungary. Both were feel-good moments, with the video of the Hungarian anthem eclipsing 620,000 views online as of yesterday. Then, there was the skate incident, when a Hungarian national team player came to the rink with a broken skate blade, expecting to miss his semifinal game and the final, unable to find a suitable replacement. As luck would have it, Kowalsky’s once-used skates hanging in his garage were a perfect fit — they didn’t even need sharpening. The chairman’s newest fan in Hungary would go on to capture gold at the tournament. There was something special about KIBIHT 2016, Kowalsky said, and it wasn’t just in the tournament’s organization. “It was unbelievable, just the camaraderie amongst everybody,” he said. “It wasn’t just a hockey tournament.” The buzz was evident from the opening ceremony onward. Kowalsky said it was the first time he had seen the building full for the opening event — people stood two- and three-deep at the apex of the stands. Organizers sold nearly all of their merchan-

Goaltender Dylan Barton of the Vancouver T-Birds makes a stop in the tier 1 final at the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament on Sunday. Tournament chairman Ted Kowalsky said this year’s event turned into a good building block and the future for KIBIHT is bright.
dise, local support was strong and a visiting coach told Kowalsky KIBIHT was the best tournament he had ever attended. “The Hungary team was a real drawing card, obviously,” Kowalsky said, trying to put his finger on what made the 2016 tournament such a hit. “Plus, KIBIHT went through a slump and now people are starting to come back because they’re realizing what we have here in Kamloops — this great international tournament.” While Hungary may have been the drawing card for much of the local attention, the tournament had a profound impact on its European visitors, too. Glen Williamson, the Canadian-born head coach of the Hungarian national team, said the introduction to Canadian culture
and hockey not only ended with a gold medal for his club, but with parts of his roster considering hockey futures in the CHL or NCAA. “They really got a belief factor, a confidence factor, not only in hockey, but in life,” he said. “It was really cool to see them starting to believe, ‘Hey, I’d love to play here.’” Hungary was dominant in its first trip to the Tournament Capital. The club played nine games — including exhibition — in eight days and swept its North American competition. Williamson was unsure how his club would fit in with the Canadian game, how it would fare in contests in the hockey-mad nation — and was surprised by the powerful performance. In the gold-medal final alone,
Hungary outshot the Vancouver T-Birds 61-21 en route to a 5-1 victory. But, as Williamson said, KIBIHT was about more than hockey for the Hungarians. “For me, a welcome back home and it reaffirms how great a country we’ve got,” Williamson said. “For the kids and the staff, a life-changing experience.” Playing in KIBIHT has always been a milestone for local players, but the international experience of this year’s tournament made the event especially impactful. Though Hungary beat Kamloops 5-1, the experience remained positive for the locals. “I was pretty impressed — it was a skilled group of kids,” Junior Blazers head coach Kyle Allan said of Hungary. “They skated well, they moved the puck well, it
was a pretty good group of kids to watch. “I was kind of happy to play them. It’s tough going into a game like that, but I was happy with the way our kids played against them and it was a really good experience for them.” Hungary’s dominance may have been due, in part, to the players’ ages — the national team had predominantly 15-year-olds, players who would have been considered first-year midgets in Canadian play. The Junior Blazers, meanwhile, ice a 14-year-old roster, with a handful of 13-year-olds. But, Allan didn’t take away from Hungary’s win when he spoke to KTW and pointed to scores after one and two periods throughout tournament play, which often showed North American teams holding their own against the Hungarians. “I certainly think they were a step above everybody else,” Allan said. “Like I said, for us, I just like playing good competition. It’s a good team to play. “I wouldn’t say it was easy on them — they had to earn it.” What the future holds for Kamloops’ bantam showcase will be determined in the coming weeks. Organizers are expected to pick a date for the 2017 tournament shortly and will re-examine an earlier commitment to establish a Premier Division for elite tier 1 talent. Kowalsky is confident the tournament is headed in the right direction, though, as is Kamloops’ tier 1 coach. “It’s still a good tournament to come to, as far as I’m concerned,” Allan said. “It’s going to take some time, but I think going to continue to get stronger every year, keep building and building and keep going.”

The sub-zero temperatures and buckets of snow blanketing Kamloops in recent weeks haven’t been ideal for organizers of the 2016 Stake Lake Ice Racing circuit. With the first date of the season — the test and tune weekend, when racers test the course and ready their bikes for the first official race — set for Sunday, organizers are already staring down their first cancellation of the year. “You’ve got a foot-and-a-half of snow on there — up to my knees — and that’s just acting like a big oven on there,” said Dan MacKenzie, promoter of the Stake Lake Ice Racing circuit. “It has been minus-20 for the last week. If I had only six inches [of snow] or something like normal . . . I could have got on there. But, with all this snow, I can’t get on there with a quad or anything. It’s just way too heavy.” Since 1972, ice racing has lured hundreds of racers and fans — young and old — to Stake Lake during the chilly winter months. Racers pilot modified motocross bikes and off-road utility vehicles around an oval course atop the lake, topping speeds of 60 km/h on the frozen surface. Their

tires boast razor sharp, half-inch metal studs that dig into the groaning and cracking surface for traction. The sport alone can be harrowing, even under ideal conditions. Right now, conditions are far from ideal. MacKenzie said an ice layer of between 16 and 20 inches is needed before the lake can support the weight of the bikes, vehicles and fans frequenting Stake Lake throughout January and February. But, when he travelled to the site on the weekend, drilling revealed layering — 12 inches of ice, covered by a two-inch layer of water and another two inches of ice, all beneath 18 inches of powder. The snow has acted as an insulator, preventing hard freezing of the water below. It has been impossible for organizers to get onto the lake to start preparations and, right now, hosting the circuit would be unsafe. “We’re working on it,” said MacKenzie, who plans to again check the surface on Thursday before making an official decision on cancellation. But, with rising temperatures and more snow in Environment Canada’s forecast, it doesn’t
appear help is on the way. “I wouldn’t be excited this week,” MacKenzie said. “We’re not in a good battle right now.”

Once the circuit is able to get underway, it’s expected to include five races. Following the test and tune date of Jan. 10, official races begin on Jan. 17. Races are then slated for Jan. 24 and Jan. 30, with the Western Canadian Championships set to bring competitors from across B.C., Alberta and Washington state to Stake Lake on Jan. 31, to vie for a $1,000 pro purse. The final race is scheduled for Feb. 7, with Feb. 14 reserved as a makeup date. Between 50 and 65 riders generally compete in the ice-racing circuit each season and MacKenzie said similar numbers are expected in 2016. Spectators are welcome at the site, with adult admission set at $5 and kids 12 and under watching for free.

Crosby absent as NHL announces all-star rosters NEW YORK — The full rosters for the 2016 NHL allstar teams were announced yesterday and conspicuous by his absence was Sidney Crosby. The Pittsburgh star forward wasn’t included in the Metropolitan Division’s lineup. Veteran centre Evgeni Malkin and defenceman Kris Letang will represent the Penguins in Nashville on Jan. 30 and 31.
The selection was Malkin’s sixth, leaving him behind only Mario Lemieux (13) and Jaromir Jagr (nine) among Penguins players with the most all-star appearances. Crosby has only appeared in one all-star game (2007), missing three due to Olympic commitments and five because of injury. Through 38 games this season, Crosby has 12 goals and 19 assists to trail
Rams’ relocation application questions viability of NFL in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS — The NFL would benefit most by moving the Rams to Los Angeles, leaving behind a St. Louis market that lags economically and a stadium proposal doomed for failure, the team said in its relocation application provided to The Associated Press yesterday. Rams owner Stan Kroenke, a real estate billionaire who still lives in Missouri, has proposed building a $1.8 billion stadium in Inglewood, Calif., with plans to put the Rams back in the market they left to move to St. Louis in 1995. The San Diego Chargers and

Malkin (18 goals, 19 assists) in scoring for Pittsburgh, but he has five goals and seven points in his last four contests. As part of the new format for the 2016 all-star game, players will take part in a three-game tournament, played in a 3-on-3 format, and featuring teams representing each NHL division. The Calgary Flames placed forward Johnny Gaudreau and defence-
man Mark Giordano on the Pacific Division squad. Also named were forwards Taylor Hall of the Edmonton Oilers and Daniel Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks. Forward Leo Komarov of the Toronto Maple Leafs and defencemen Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators and P.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens were named to the Atlantic Division team. Winnipeg defencemen Dustin
Oakland Raiders want to move to the Los Angeles area, too, proposing to share a stadium that would be built in Carson, Calif. All three teams submitted applications last week and owners meeting Jan. 12 and 13 in Houston could make a decision on relocation. The Rams’ 29-page application, first obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, lauds the Inglewood site, saying it has already been approved by the league as a potential stadium location and would serve as the epicentre for a NFL retail

Byfuglien was named to the Central Division squad. Earlier, fans voted Jagr, now with Florida (Atlantic), Chicago’s Patrick Kane (Central), Washington’s Alex Ovechkin (Metropolitan) and Arizona’s John Scott (Pacific) as the division captains. The four head coaches will be Gerard Gallant of the Florida Panthers (Atlantic), Lindy Ruff of the Dallas Stars (Central), Darryl Sutter of the Los
and entertainment district that includes a 6,000-seat theatre and up to 8.5 million square feet of office space, hotel retail and dining options. The team also offered a withering assessment of why St. Louis is no longer worth staying for, citing poor economics, poor attendance and a doomed stadium proposal. The task force proposing the new stadium in St. Louis calls the team’s assessment of its St. Louis experience “inaccurate and extremely disappointing. –The Associated Press
Angeles Kings (Pacific) and Barry Trotz of the Washington Capitals (Metropolitan). The coaches of the teams with the highest points percentage (points earned divided by total possible points) in each of the four divisions through Jan. 9 receive the all-star nods. Florida, Dallas, Los Angeles and Washington are all guaranteed of posting the top points percentage in their respective divisions.
GRIFFEY, PIAZZA GET HALL OF FAME NODS NEW YORK — Ken Griffey Jr. has been elected to the baseball Hall of Fame with the highest voting percentage ever and Mike Piazza also is headed to Cooperstown. A star slugger of the Steroids Era never tainted by accusations of drug use, Griffey was on 437 of 440 votes in his first appearance on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot. His 99.3 percentage topped Tom Seaver’s 98.84 in 1992. Piazza, on the ballot for the fourth time, received 365 votes. A player needs 75 per cent to gain election.

Obituaries & In Memoriam MURIEL GREENSTREET
WILFRED JAMES (JEFF) WILLETT
December 10, 1927 - December 29, 2015
1932 - 2015
On the evening of December 29th, Muriel peacefully passed away, after three winters at her home at Ridgeview Lodge, with her nurse Amanda by her side. Muriel will be lovingly remembered by her husband Donald of 61 years, son Tyler (Brenda), granddaughters Danielle and Nicole, daughter Carolyn, best friends Dave and Sylvia Mackenzie and Ray and Linda Austin. Muriel was predeceased by her mother Elizabeth Davies, father Sydney Davies, sister Lorraine Jones and brother Morris Davies. Muriel was born in Montreal, Quebec during the depression. She left school early to join the workforce, covering many types of careers. Over the years they included carnival entertainer, chorus line dancer, textile worker, cook, restaurant manager, apartment manager, wife and mother. In 1951, Muriel and Don met in Vancouver, and four years later began a family with the birth of their son Tyler on May 19,1958. Eight years later, their daughter came along, Carolyn on April 17,1966. Over the years, they travelled across Canada and lived in many places including, Prince Rupert, Montreal, Jasper, Edmonton and finally Kamloops. Muriel was active in her community including costume designing for The Kamloops Ice Capade; teaching The Marr family dancing lessons; advocating for the seal hunt and leg hold trap; working with the fraud squad undercover; acting on Magestrate’s Court show; writing for The Daily Sentinel newspaper; volunteering and adopting from SPCA; and fundraising for The Heart & Stroke Fund for 30 years. Don and Muriel sponsored two foster children over the past 17 years from World Vision. Muriel loved dancing, music, arts, knitting, cooking, laughing and being the hostess with the mostess. She was open to new adventures, and returned to Cariboo College later in life to take her cooking certification. She also learned to downhill ski and ride a dirt bike at the age of 50. Muriel was a kind and generous soul who always had her door open to anyone needing a hand, a hot meal or a place to stay. In 1992, Muriel suffered a CVA/stroke which caused her to relearn to walk and start life over. Her husband Donald retired early to care for her in their home for 20 years. In 2012, she suffered a broken hip, which moved her to residential care facility, first at Ponderosa, then to Ridgeview Lodge. This may have slowed most others down, but Muriel always found a way to enjoy each day, enjoying crafts, music therapy, therapy dogs, luncheons, bingo and singing such ditties as “Wee Dokken Dorris”. She was a night owl who kept her care staff entertained and company most nights. Although challenged with diabetes, strokes, dementia and vascular disease, Muriel always found a way to make others laugh. The family would like to very deeply thank the remarkable and dignified staff who allowed Muriel to feel compassion and love at her time in both care facilities. Thank you to Dr. James Howie and Dr. Wynne. The family request in place of cards or flowers, to please make a donation on behalf of Muriel to The Heart & Stroke Foundation or SPCA. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, January 17th, 2016 at Cottonwood Community Centre from 2:00 - 4:00pm in Kamloops.

CARMELA NICOLE DECICCO
Today we say good-bye to our dear mother, wife, friend and colleague, Cindy Kouroupis, who passed away peacefully at the age of 47 on December 31, 2015, after a short, courageous battle with biliary cancer. Cindy is survived by her loving husband Jim, their four daughters who she adored, Allison, Alexa, Elise and Caitlin, her younger sister Lori Hall of Vancouver, niece Emily and nephew Bradley Hall, her sisters-in-law Maria Kouroupis (Terry Aguillon), Lisa Kouroupis (Simon Kibugi) and mother-in-law Linda Kouroupis also of Vancouver. Cindy also leaves loving aunts, uncles and cousins in BC and in Nova Scotia. She will be dearly missed by her long-time friends from Ladner, BC, as well as many dear friends and nursing colleagues she made in Kamloops and other parts of the Interior over the years. Cindy was the oldest child of Cathy Eldridge (deceased) and grew up in Ladner where on New Year’s Eve in 1988 she met her one true love Jim Kouroupis when she was 21. Jim and Cindy were married in Tsawwassen in May 1992 before relocating to Kamloops in 1995 to pursue new work opportunities for Jim. Kamloops became their home where they raised their four beautiful girls. Cindy’s greatest love and passion were for her family – Jim and the girls, whom she spoke of fondly and often. Cindy had long wanted to pursue a nursing career, a foundation that was built on her natural inclination to care for people and previous work as a teacher’s assistant in Ladner and Langley. In 2004 she made the leap and went back to school at Thompson Rivers University, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree in 2009. She found her dream job within Interior Health’s Home and Community Care in Kamloops and loved her colleagues as much as she did her work and her clients. When she was not working, Cindy cherished time with her girls, watching them play sports and shopping with them, as well as going to Shuswap Lake with her family, where she was often found on her treasured stand-up paddleboard. Cindy also loved her home and was able to stay there as long as possible while she was ill under the care of her daughter Allison, also TRU nursing graduate, and her husband Jim. Cindy will be remembered for her generosity and thoughtfulness, for her beautiful smile and expressive green eyes, her unending humour and ability to laugh at life and parenting adventures, her always lively stories and her love of running the trails. In lieu of flowers or baked goods, Cindy has asked that all efforts be put toward the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, where Cindy received care in her final days. While in the hospice, Cindy and her family were well supported by the generous staff. Cindy wants to ensure that legacy of comfort and care is extended to other individuals and families well into the future. The Kouroupis family has set up a fund for donations to the hospice at https://www.gofundme.com/yyh26kck Special thanks to staff at the Kamloops Hospice – David, Janice, Lindsay, Emily, Melissa, Sara, Maureen, Sharon, Hilary, Lana, Pam, Joanne and all hospice volunteers. Thank you to Dr. Alan Proctor, Dr. Ruth Farren and Dr. Peter Loland for their care throughout Cindy’s illness and to the staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic. Thanks also to friends and neighbours who sent food, gifts and constant support throughout this time. Prayers will be recited on Thursday, January 21st, 2016 at 7:00 PM at the Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive, Kamloops, BC. The Reverend Father Fred Weisbeck will celebrate the Liturgy of the Word in the Church on Friday, January 22nd, 2016 at 11:00 AM. An afternoon reception will follow.

Logan Lake Pond Hockey Classic lovers were crushed two years ago when the tournament was cancelled for the first time since its inception due to unseasonably warm temperatures. Their little piece of Canadiana returned in 2015 and 22 teams played 68 games on seven rinks over three days — but, Mother Nature dampened spirits again when the mercury rose above zero and caused ice conditions to deteriorate as the tournament progressed. The pond-hockey gods appear to be in a good mood this year, with the 2016 tourney, which runs from Jan. 15 to Jan. 17, expected to benefit from preferred temperatures. “Things are fantastic here,” said Jeff Carter, who is leading the ice-maintenance team and helping to organize the tournament. “We’ve got 14 inches of ice, which is required, and we’re a week-
and-a-half away, so it’s just getting thicker as we go.” Temperatures in Logan Lake over the next week — the forecast calls for overnight lows of between –11 C and –14 C and highs around –7 C — should be ideal for Carter’s crew leading to puck-drop. The forecast is calling for suitable overnight-flooding temperatures of between –6 C and –8 C during the tournament, although a drop to about –10 C would be optimal. “It’s nice if you get the super-cold weather before the tournament — to give you the nice, hard ice, so you don’t have a lot of that melt and re-freeze — and it’s good if it warms up to the minus-5 range and sunny for the tournament,” Carter said. Daytime temperatures on game days are expected to hover between –1 C and –3 C, which is close to perfect, but it appears forecasted snow might keep the ice crew busy. “It’s difficult because then we’re out there clearing ice
and our crews will have to stay out literally all night, if it snows, to get all the rinks cleared and flooded again, as opposed to, if it’s not snowing, the players are off, we do a scrape and a flood and call it night,” Carter said. The ice-maintenance crew of about four or five has taken over from the Logan Lake ATV club, which was in charge last year. “It was an older group of retired guys that did it before, about 10 of them. Now, there are four of us trying to do it outside of our work hours,” said Carter, who has put in about 200 hours since midDecember. “It’s fire up the lights, get out there at minus-15 and minus-20, work until 12 o’clock and get up and go to work the next morning.” There are 21 teams signed up to play in three divisions next weekend, but organizers are accepting last-minute registrations. Time is running out as the schedule is expected to be finalized
in the coming days. For registration information, go online to loganlakepondhockey.ca or call 250320-6382. Karen Lindsey is the tournament registrar and her husband, Dave, has helped recruit referees. The Whalley Woodchucks won the inaugural Logan Lake Pond Hockey Classic in 2007. In 2008, the Kamloopsbased Oronge Beernuts downed the Woodchucks to claim the Platinum Division title — and a dynasty began. Oronge was victorious from 2008 to 2013, the tournament was cancelled in 2014 and the Beernuts did not participate in 2015, when the Tobiano Hackers became only the third team to hoist the top-tier trophy. The tournament is a significant economic generator for the town of 2,100. Its most successful year, numberswise, was in 2013 when 29 teams — mostly consisting of six players per squad — enjoyed great weather conditions and good ice.

Oh Great Spirit ... Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

BMW 7-Series provides new levels of performance, pampering and connectivity ANN M. JOB
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
he 2016 BMW 7-Series takes driving a large, luxury sedan to a new level of sporty performance, connectivity and pampering. The revamped vehicle offers lots of new technology such as BMW’s Gesture Control, where a driver merely waves his or her hand to send an incoming phone call to voicemail. There’s a key fob with a small computer display that tells with a swipe whether the sunroof was left open, the car unlocked and how many more miles one can get with the fuel in the tank. On-board wireless charging and even more technology — the flagship model’s own Samsung tablet and wi-fi hotspot — come with the usual luxury auto trappings such as leather-covered seats, chestnut-wood trim with intricate inlays, massaging seats, poweroperated footrest and window shades and rear-seat entertainment. A few things were only mildly refreshed in the rear-wheel-drive, fourdoor sedan, including the two BMW engines — a 320-horsepower, turbocharged six-cylinder and a 445-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8.
The BMW 7-Series maintains its poise in curves and turns, driving and darting around obstacles as if it were a smaller car.
The new 7-Series is some 190 pounds lighter than its predecessor (though it still weighs as much as a fullsize pickup truck) because it has a carbon core body and, for the first time, aluminum-skinned doors and trunk lid. The engine’s thrust is exciting: The test 750i xDrive with twin-turbo V-8 can go from zero to 60 miles an

hour in just 4.3 seconds. Passengers were strongly pushed into their seatbacks during quick acceleration. Torque peaks at an impressive 480 foot-pounds at a low 1,800 rpm and continues to 4,500 rpm. The starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $82,295 for the base 740i and $95,395 for the base 750i.
The lowest on the test model, which has all-wheel drive, is $98,395. The roomy 7-Series is a well-crafted, corporate chauffeur car, but it needed some sprucing up to better compete with the sales leader in its segment, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It’s obvious where BMW put its attention. Taking the beefy steering wheel in hand, a driver

rior of the 750i xDrive was serene with just a hint of a strong engine heard at sudden acceleration. At times, neither the driver nor passengers could detect the shift points from the eight-speed, Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. A small table stored in the centre rear-seat armrest operates like those in airplanes and allows executives to keep working as they are shuttled from meeting to meeting. There is more legroom in the back seat than in the front: 44.4 inches vs. 41.4 inches. The right-side back-seat passenger has controls to move the front passenger seat farther forward than it might be otherwise. Other thoughtful touches include soft-close doors so the back ones don’t slam shut loudly, optional luxury rear floor mats with deeppile carpet and wood trim on the seatbelt latch covers. Trunk space, at 20.6 cubic feet, is adequate for most needs. Fuel economy isn’t a big priority, and the test car averaged 18.1 mpg in combined city/highway travel, which is less than the federal government’s estimate of 19 mpg. Later in the model year, BMW plans to introduce a 740e xDrive plug-in gasoline-electric hybrid model.
