ANOTHER SEX-RELATED CHARGE

ALL EYES AND EARS ON AJAX

This man is Brett Anthony Nelson. He has just been charged with sexual interference of a minor. This is his third sex-related charge involving underage girls in the past decade. He will appear in court on Feb. 7, but remains free on $10,000 bail.

City councillors were less than impressed after meeting with officials behind the proposed Ajax mine. Meanwhile, a clearer vision of the process involved in the project was revealed at TRU.

Public to be given input on arts centre By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The public will have a chance next month to give input on a potential performing-arts centre. Mayor Peter Milobar, in announcing a sixmember committee charged with kickstarting any move to build a centre, said the session will be held at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday, Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Milobar said it is fitting to hold the session at the centre, which represents a similar initiative taken years ago to build facilities to promote the city’s sports and athletics side. Joining Milobar on the committee are Thompson Rivers University president Alan Shaver, Norm Daley, Michael Fane, Alexander Watt and Fiona Chan.

The mayor said the five were chosen because of their track records in moving large projects forward. However, he expressed caution on any potential timeline in creating a centre. “I know they want to run,” he said of the committee members, “and I want us to walk before we run. “But, having said that, there is a lot of excitement around the possibilities.” He noted there is no money allocated or location identified for a centre, little data on the need for one, who might use it and what the revenue stream would need to be. Milobar, acknowledging many people wanted to be on the committee, expects to see more people become involved as the project moves forward.

The committee has had a few meetings already, Milobar said, “and we want to get rolling on this.” He announced the committee members at the sixth annual Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, a fundraiser for the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Western Canada Theatre and the Kamloops Art Gallery. Milobar told the crowd at the Saturday, Jan. 19, event at the Kamloops Convention Centre the committee will also look at the current status of the arts and culture community in relation to the arts strategic plan developed in 2004. • Two awards were presented at the weekend event. Tenor Thomas Bijok was named emerging artist and New Gold received the businesssupport award.

Nelson faces another sex-related charge A former teacher who was fired in 2004 for engaging in sexual contact with a Grade 11 student has been charged with sexual interference of a minor, breach of probation and failure to comply with a probation order. The charges against Brett Anthony Nelson come one year after he was sentenced to nine months in jail

Crash witnesses sought Police are looking for witnesses to an accident on Sunday, Jan. 13, at about 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of Third Avenue and Columbia Street in downtown Kamloops. RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said a red 1988 Suzuki 4wift was leaving Royal Inland Hospital, heading north on Third Avenue, when it was hit by a grey 2002 Toyota 4Runner travelling east on Columbia. There were no serious injuries, although a female passenger was treated and released from hospital to be checked over and released. Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP at 828-3000.

Nelson had attempted to lure 13- and 14-year-old girls over the Internet for sexual purposes. Nelson first met the 14-year-old victim after she posted an ad online seeking older men. The two exchanged a number of sexually charged emails, including a nude photo of Nelson on his stomach. They never met in person, but Nelson was

introduced through her to the 13-year-old victim. After a number of graphic email exchanges, the two met once in person. Nelson bought the teen a pack of cigarettes and gave her a ride to her elementary school. The relationship ended when the 13-year-old girl’s father found the cigarettes, traced them back to an

older man and called police. “We cannot say, of course, what might have happened with [the 13-year-old victim] had her father not intervened,” Judge Hermann Rohrmoser said during last year’s sentencing. In 2004, the B.C. College of Teachers revoked Nelson’s teaching certificate and terminated his membership after a jury found

him guilty of sexual exploitation. In that instance, he engaged in a sexual relationship with a Grade 11 female student over a period of one month. The sentencing judge in 2004 granted Nelson a conditional discharge, meaning he had no criminal record following the conviction despite the jury’s finding of guilt.

Coun. Arjun Singh seemed to be speaking for everyone on Kamloops city council when, at the start of the second three-dog variance discussion on the agenda during the first meeting of 2013, he said, with a half-laugh and half-groan: “Are we ever going to be free from this?” Freedom won’t come today (Jan. 22). At today’s council’s meeting, another pair of threedog applications lead off the agenda, as they so often have done in the past 10 months. Three-dog variances aren’t new to Kamloops. Mayor Peter Milobar told KTW the city has for years limited the number of dogs per household to two and has signed off on exceptions to the rule on a DOGGY DAY CARE household-by-household AT CITY HALL basis for just as long. Dog-variance applications and In 2012, however, the appeals in 2012: 21 third dogs of Kamloops Third dogs approved on first seemed to come out in application: 16 droves.

Compare that number to the handful of variances the previous council doled out through its entire threeyear term. According to meeting minutes, there were six. Milobar attributes the doggy onslaught to a couple of decisions of the previous council, which overhauled the city’s policy on the issue. The changes require the city to send out notices and ask for comment from neighbours of dog owners. Council also allowed bylaw-enforcement officers to begin licensing third dogs. “Previously, if you went in and asked for your third dog to get a dog licence, bylaws would say, ‘No, you can’t have three dogs.

Three-dog ﬁghts time-consuming issues X From A3

“‘You can’t licence three’,” Milobar said. “And, most people would just shrug their shoulders and say, ‘Oh, I didn’t realize that. I’ll have to get rid of my third dog’ and leave. And, no complaints. Bylaws wouldn’t bother following up.” Today, dog owners can properly licence all three dogs but, in doing so they are flagged and sent through the variance process and, eventually, to council chambers. Council’s decision last April to waive the fee for such applications until Jan. 1, 2013, also made the process more attractive. However, Milobar thinks the dog days are nearly over. “Yeah, it seems like a lot right now, but it’ll work its way through,” he said. “We’re hitting the tail end now, by the sounds of it.” Not everyone at the council table is so sure. Coun. Ken Christian points to the two dogs on the agenda today as a sign the issue may not be on its way out. He is also concerned about a council decision on Jan. 15 to allow a local woman to apply for a variance so she can purchase a third dog.

Mainly, though, Christian wonders if council chambers is the appropriate place for owners to air their three-dog fights. “We’ve heard medical information that really shouldn’t be public information at a council meeting on television,” Christian said. Other applicants have shared details of custody battles, job losses and neighbourhood disputes. Tears were sometimes shed. There’s also the issue of time. At their speediest, variance applications take up between five and 10 minutes of council’s time. But, when controversy dogs the proceedings, a variance application can rack up the minutes. One memorable case on Uplands Drive, where property owners had a history of letting their dogs run free, took just under 50 minutes — not including an appeal at a later meeting when council initially voted against the request. “It’s taking time away from making other fairly important decisions and having discussions about other civic matters that I think would be, at least in my opinion, more worthy of council’s attention,” Christian said. He suggested council may want

to revisit the bylaw to give enforcement officers more power to process three-dog requests. In cases where the situation is temporary — for example, a child with a dog moves home — bylaw officers could grant pet owners a six-month period of amnesty, Christian said, noting the decision wouldn’t need to come to council. When owners are looking to keep three dogs for an extended period of time, Christian tends to take a harder line. “I’m not convinced there is any rationale to change the number just because people want that. What if someone comes in and says. ‘I really, really want a horse’?” But, Milobar said, the city needs to be open to people who have three dogs for other reasons, in particular because blended families are becoming more and more common. “There’s two dogs in one household, one in another and, suddenly, they become a couple or they move into the city for work with three dogs they’ve always had,” he said. “How do you just say absolutely no for something that may not even be a neighbourhood concern?”

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE Kamloops firefighters were called to a motor-vehicle accident on Highway 1 in west Kamloops on Monday, Jan. 21. Icy conditions apparently led to the mishap at 10 a.m., when this vehicle was hit by another and left the freeway just below the Kozy Klean car-wash business in Versatile. While the vehicle landed in spectacular fashion, it is believed injuries were minor. Slick conditions led to a number of crashes on Kamloops area roads and highways and there seems to be no end to the dicey conditions as Environment Canada is calling for more flurries later this week. Andrea Klassen photos

It’s a sign of planning ahead A new overhead changeable message sign has been installed on Highway 1, giving motorists travelling east from Kamloops updated road and weather conditions. The changeable message sign was installed as part of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 Monte Creek to Pritchard Project. The sign was installed to replace an older sign in Valleyview, which used old lighting and communications technology. The new sign’s message is remotely changed by DriveBC to reflect latest road conditions. According to the province, the new lighting systems are more

dependable and require less maintenance. Overall cost of the sign is approximately $200,000. It was installed by Westcana Electric Inc. The sign has been activated and is now providing up-to-date information to drivers on Highway 1 who are travelling east or taking the Highway 97 exit to drive east to Vernon. For travellers about to set out on their journeys, the drivebc.com website offers up-to-date weather and traffic conditions across the province. The website also has a number of highway webcams that show current state of traffic and weather.

Less-than-impressive meeting with Ajax By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It wasn’t the meeting they were expecting, but city councillors who attended a closed-door meet-and-greet with representatives of KGHM International feel they might be a step closer to getting proponents of the proposed Ajax mine to speak with them publicly. Councillors had assumed they were attending a sit-down meeting on the controversial proposal on Wednesday, Jan. 16, but Coun. Donovan Cavers said the actual event was much less formal than expected. “I wouldn’t call it a meeting,” he said. “It was basically just the same open house format the public had afterwards and the day before, just with less people. It wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for.” The mine’s public open houses, held on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16, were meant to introduce the city to the new Ajax project team that

was put in place after KGHM increased its stake in the mine to 80 per cent last year. Coun. Nelly Dever was surprised to discover council had been invited to a smaller version of the same, along with representatives from Venture Kamloops, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and the ThompsonNicola Regional District. “My initial feeling was disappointment,” she said. But, Dever said, she feels she was able to bend the ear of KGHM Ajax CEO Marcin Mostowy, pressing him on the timeline for a digital scale model of the mine site and the city, which council requested last spring. “That is so important because a lot of people are making assumptions about what the visual impact of the mine will be,” Dever said, noting Motowy told her he hadn’t realized the model was so important and would make sure it was completed. Cavers was less enthusiastic about the outcome of the meet-

ing, noting he received “a few business cards, not really any new information” from the talks. He did, however, extend an invitation for Ajax’s proponents to come to council, as did Dever and Mayor Peter Milobar. “Our door’s wide open to them and I think we made it abundantly clear,” Milobar said. “So, now it’s just waiting to see if they’ll take us up on the offer,” Dever said she spoke to one representative about the possibility of KGHM delegates coming to council regularly, perhaps every few months, to keep the city updated on the project’s timeline. She thinks the meeting ended up being more valuable than it seemed. “I was a little disappointed walking in, but I felt pretty optimistic when I left,” she said. Though council had originally planned to send only three randomly chosen members and the mayor to the meeting, all of council ended up attending the meet and greet in staggered shifts.

United they build: Church open house set By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The boxes are still being unpacked, but Kamloops United Church is throwing open the doors to its revamped church building for a community housewarming on Thursday, Jan. 24. Last year, the church embarked on the first phase of a major redevelopment of its property at 421 St. Paul Street, which saw the church scale back its meeting and worship space to make room for an affordable-housing project. Since construction began, the congregation has met in a hall in another building on the property. It moves back into the new sanctuary for services starting on Feb. 3. “It’s like coming home after you’ve been away on a long vacation,” said Ron Routledge, chairman of the church’s redevelopment committee. “I think the overall feeling is one of, ‘Hey, we’re coming back home again and this is kind of neat’.” The housewarming will give the public a chance to see the new hall, programming space and kitchen. Routledge said the kitchen will be a special focus of the open house. The church received

$80,000 for its upgrade from the Aviva Community Fund after winning an online competition last year. The old kitchen produced its final hot meal for the church’s People In Transition (Pit Stop) program this past weekend — a task Routledge said had become increasingly challenging. “The stove, for example, it would heat, but you couldn’t really adjust temperatures, so you had to cook, if you were putting something in the oven, based very much on time,” he said. “If this thing is boiling hot, let’s see, you used to cook that for 20 minutes at 350, you stick it in for about four-and-a-half minutes and let her go.” While phase two of the project is moving ahead, Routledge said the congregation still has plenty of work to do as it moves into its new space. “You’re not going to walk in and marvel at how we’ve got the seating arranged in the sanctuary,” Routledge cautioned. “What we’re celebrating is the opening of the building so we can start putting things into it.” If members of the community feel like pitching in with that process, Routledge said the congregation would

be happy for the help. “We’ll probably be looking for people to build some shelves or donate some of their time,” he said. The open house runs from 1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24.

PHASE TWO With BC Housing’s blessing secured, Kamloops United Church is moving ahead with its affordable-housing project. BC Housing has given the church preliminary approval for

a 56-unit development, which will also house the church’s thrift store and offices. Routledge said final drawings of the units should come to market in early March. One of the conditions of BC Housing’s approval — and funding — for the project is that the church pre-sell a certain number of units in the building. Routledge said 70 per cent of the units, which range from bachelor suites to three-bedroom designs, will be “affordable purchase.”

Yes, it’s true — Ajax mine process has been impressive

COTT BAILEY OFFERED an open pit of valuable information, yet took some unnecessary blasts from those in attendance whose rigid opinions cannot be changed even with the most powerful excavators. Bailey is executive project director with the province’s Environmental Assessment Office. As such, he is the guy co-ordinating the process through which the proposed Ajax mine application journeys. He spoke to a decidedly anti-Ajax crowd during an event last week at Thompson Rivers University sponsored by the TRU Faculty Association and TRU Human Rights Committee. Bailey was invited to give a presentation on how the environmentalassessment process works in general and where the Ajax application stands in particular. Aided by environmental-assessment officer Lindsay McDonough, Bailey gave a thorough presentation, one that answered many questions and filled in many blanks for those wishing to know more about the process a project — be it a mine, a pipeline or ski-hill application — must navigate to become a reality or be rejected. The problem with such forums related to Ajax, however, is the fact attendance is dominated by those who are opposed to the project — always and forever. To be opposed, and intransigently so, is a democratic right, but to be opposed and attend a meeting intended to explain the process, then lob questions and statements at Bailey that have nothing to do with his jurisdiction is plain silly. At one point, after an audience member delivered yet another comment completely irrelevant to the topic at hand (something about alleged lies told by an Ajax proponent and the pending mass exodus of people from Kamloops due to

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS certain air-quality deterioration), Bailey reminded the crowd of his role. When he said he didn’t care whether the Ajax mine proceeded or not, there were some gasps of indignation. But, Bailey is correct. As project manager, he is responsible for ensuring all technical analysis is completed, for ensuring all reports are finalized, for ensuring all problems have mitigation proposals and for ensuring the final report delivered to the provincial ministers of environment and mines and federal minister of environment is detailed, complete and ready for a decision. Bailey does not care whether Ajax proceeds because Bailey cannot care. Objectivity is the crucial aspect of his job, something many at last week’s forum failed to note as they lobbed questions and made statements that have nothing to do with Bailey’s role or his purpose in presenting his lecture. (Objectivity is also part of the deal for Terry Lake, the Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA and B.C.’s environment minister. He will be part of the decision-making process; therefore, it is incumbent upon him to stay out of the fray until the report is delivered, despite some ridiculous calls along the way that he get involved and “protect” Kamloops). To be fair, there were some solid

questions asked at the TRU event, some of which led to answers that enlightened me on the process. Nothing, however, was made more clear than the fact the Ajax proposal is alone among all previous environmentassessment proposals in the magnitude of attention given the process. No other project has seen Bailey’s office hire its own socio-economic consultant; no other project (save for one, possibly, decades ago) has seen the creation of a community advisory group; few other projects receive three (rather than one as required) public-consultation periods; few other projects are afforded the maximum 75-day public-commenting period; and few other projects require the proponent to hold community-consultation meetings. And, as Bailey said, it is not often he engages in such an information session as the one at TRU last week. “Yes, we are blazing new trails,” he said. “Under certain circumstances, we throw our whole toolbox at a project. This is one of those projects.” All we as a community can ask is that the environmental-assessment process, with its stack of documents fivefeet deep, is as thorough and objective and fair as possible. Under the existing legislation (no, it is not perfect. For example, it requires consultation with affected First Nations, but not with affected municipalities and regional districts), it would appear Bailey and his crew are being as thorough and objective and fair as possible. A decision on Ajax is likely at least a year away, based on the timeline of the process. There is plenty of time for more opposition, more meetings, more information — and more rhetoric. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

The NHL is back in business. After five months of sportscasts that sounded more like business reports as owners and players argued their cases for the protracted labour dispute that kept arenas dark, teams returned to the ice to prepare for a truncated season that began this past weekend. Some teams are trying to make amends, to salve the wounds that three difficult lockouts in 19 years have wrought on ticket-buying fans. The Vancouver Canucks are cutting prices at their concessions and gave away the jerseys their players wore in their home opener. The Edmonton Oilers held their first practice on a frozen pond, using Twitter and Facebook to alert fans. Canadians generally, and hockey fans in particular, are pretty forgiving. The arenas in the NHL’s six Canadian cities have been just as full and noisy had the season been at its proper midway point. Those who can’t get a ticket, or afford one, will be tuned in to Hockey Night in Canada, a Saturday night TV tradition for more than 60 years, and Sportsnet and TSN during the week. By the time the race for the Stanley Cup playoffs heats up in earnest, in a few weeks, most fans will probably have forgotten there was a lockout in the first place. It’s hard for the average working person to relate to a labour dispute between billionaire owners and employees who earn millions of dollars. There were never any picket lines set up outside those glittering arenas, many of them built with help from taxpayer money. Locked-out players never huddled around fire barrels to stay warm, worrying about how their strike pay would cover the rent. Perhaps both sides should pause and think about that the next time they threaten to put hockey on hold.

Q&A Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of Jan. 15 (‘Wondering about God since the beginning of his time’): Regarding how to respond to a son’s curiosity about religion and, specifically, the Bible, is indeed an issue for many parents and one that must be handled carefully. Of course we in the atheist/agnostic community believe the best way to create an atheist is to read the Bible, especially the Old Testament. Many so-called Christians, even fundamentalists, haven’t bothered to read what can only be described as a horror story of murder, mayhem, genocide, infanticide and pretty much anything else one would find abhorrent. For many families that do not adhere to any religious tradition, it’s not something that’s discussed much and, in many cases, our children aren’t interested. However, I would say Foulds’ attitude is the correct one to adopt in his case. It should be pointed out,

WE ASKED

TO DOUBT OR NOT? however, that the book his son is reading is just that — a book. The fact many people seem to give it more credit than that really doesn’t enter into the equation. There are many religions that predate Christianity and there are many other books that exist in other religions that disagree with the Christian Bible. The Bible was written by men many years after the events it describes. It is a historic novel at best and a truly scary one at that. When the son gets to the really horrible stuff in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, he may have to go to bed

with the lights on. Most of all, I would urge Foulds to urge his son to study other so-called holy books as well, and religion in general, to help him come to his own conclusions about the subject. Most atheists I know have very well adjusted, happy and healthy children who have never had to live with the threat of an eternity of horrible punishment. They are indeed good without God.

KTW a valuable jewel in community Wisdom of God Editor: I thoroughly enjoyed two pieces in the Jan. 15 edition of KTW. The first one was the column by editor Christopher Foulds concerning his son’s questioning of God. I, too, remember that age growing up in a strict Pentacostal home and questioning many things and never being satisfied with the stock answers (such as blind faith). To this day, I continue to question the existence of God and struggle with the concept of religion and the misery it has caused throughout the ages. Foulds should encourage his son to question and he will be a better man for it. I was also thrilled to read the letter from Ida Cumming (‘Idle No More? Great idea — so much can be done’) regarding the Idle

No More movement. I could never have said it better than she did. She was right on in so many areas and complemented so many theories I believe in. Let’s get on with it and quit assuming natives have a divine right to be here because, as Cummins writes, where is the proof when nature has thrown so many variables at us throughout the millinium to question who was here first? I am finding the twice-weekly Kamloops This Week newspaper an interesting and provocative read and look forward to its arrival. You are a valuable jewel in our community and a excellent counterpoint to the Kamloops Daily News. Keep up the good work!

found in Jesus’ words Editor: The point Foulds makes in his column is indisputable. No one can impose his beliefs upon another. Influence him, yes, maybe even prejudice him, too, but, in the end, he will make his own decision. I was disappointed to see Foulds remains in the limbo of doubt. What progress can one make from doubt? Now, let me say something to his son. I am happy to see he is a reader. I am still happier to see he is reading the Bible, my favourite book. When he gets to read the words of Jesus and what he says about human behaviour, the son will see in them the wisdom of God.

WolfPack in post-season hunt By Marty Hastings

STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

LITTLE bit of home cooking might have been exactly what the TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball team needed ahead of its push toward the Canada West playoffs. The WolfPack split a pair of matches with the UBC Thunderbirds in front of boisterous crowds inside the TRU gym on the weekend, winning 3-1 on Friday, Jan. 18, and losing by the same margin on Saturday, Jan. 19. “For sure, every match we play now is critical,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly said after the win on Friday. “We helped ourselves out tremendously tonight. We didn’t lose ground and that is what is important.” The T-Birds (10-6) are ranked sixth in the conference, while the Pack (6-10) remain two spots out of the playoffs, in ninth. Being swept on the weekend would have left the Pack with a long road back to playoff contention. Instead, Hennelly’s charges are still within reach of the seventhplaced Winnipeg Wesmen (8-8), with six winnable matches left to play. TRU travels to Calgary for a pair of tilts against the Dinos (4-12) this weekend. The WolfPack host Mount Royal University of Calgary (7-9) twice, on Feb. 2 and Feb. 3, and the Wesmen twice, on Feb. 8 and Feb. 9, to finish the regular season. All the remaining home matches will be played at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC), the WolfPack’s usual home digs, which were unavailable for the

MacInnes falls short Skip Allison MacInnes of Kamloops was eliminated from the Scotties B.C. Women’s Curling Championship in the quarter-final round. Marla Mallet of Cloverdale Curling Club (CCC) downed MacInnes 7-4. Kelly Scott of Kelowna Curling Club won her fourth-straight provincial title with a 9-6 win over Patti Knezevic of Prince George Curling Club in the final on Sunday, Jan. 20. MacInnes posted a 6-3 record in the roundrobin. In its first draw at the Scotties, MacInnes’s Abbotsford Curling Club-based rink doubled Simone Brosseau of Juan De Fuca Curling Club 6-3. The MacInnes quartet earned a 9-8 win over Mallett in Draw 2 on Monday. In Draw 3, MacInnes fell 8-5 to Kirsten Fox of Royal City Curling Club on Tuesday (Jan. 15) afternoon. Knezevic edged MacInnes 8-7 in Draw 4 on Tuesday evening. MacInnes won twice on Wednesday, Jan. 16 — 9-6 over Marilou Richter of CCC in Draw 5 and 9-7 over Scott in Draw 6. It was Scott’s first loss of the tournament. On Thursday, Jan. 17, MacInnes lost 8-7 to Lori Olsen in Draw 7 and beat Roberta Kuhn 8-6 in Draw 8. Both Olsen and Kuhn play out of CCC. MacInnes recorded a pair of wins on Friday, Jan. 18, blanking Simone Groundwater of Williams Lake Curling Club 9-0 in Draw 9 before booking a spot in the quarter-finals with a win in a tiebreaker over Richter, 11-8. Rounding out the MacInnes rink were third Grace MacInnes, Allison’s sister, second Diane Gushulak and lead Jacalyn Brown.

Wolfram paces Titans

UBC matches on the weekend. Hennelly said the crowd played a big role in the Pack’s win on Friday, when the team was playing inside its former home, the TRU gym. “If we had the same number of people at the TCC, they would have been quiet. They are right on top of us [in the TRU gym]. “Loud fans raise the intensity. It’s a massive win for our team, but I think the atmosphere

was awesome.” TRU has been waiting for the emergence of outside hitter Phil Ozari and the injuryplagued Dane came through on Friday with 15 kills, four service aces, a dig and two block assists. He said the fans created an atmosphere comparable to that of a European youth championship game. “We had a very good spirit on the court,” said Ozari, a product of Birkerod, Denmark.

“The crowd made us shout and be louder on the court. “I think it carried our team through the game.” On Saturday, American Jake Tricarico was among TRU’s best players, compiling 13 kills, two digs, a solo block and two block assists. “I think the level of competition against UBC is where we need to be to perform,” Hennelly said. “We are a young

team. I think we have to play with that edge.”

Women’s woes The WolfPack women’s volleyball team fell to 0-16 on the season with a pair of losses to the T-Birds in the TRU gym on the weekend. UBC swept TRU 3-0 on Friday and Saturday. Next up for the Pack are a pair of matches against the Dinos in Calgary this weekend. — with files from TRU sports information

Emma Wolfram struggled with foul trouble, but still managed to lead the South Kamloops Titans to victory at the Top Ten tournament in Coquitlam on the weekend. She racked up 23 points, 14 rebounds and nine blocks in South Kam’s 59-54 win over Brookswood secondary in the final. The tournament featured most of the topten ranked AAA female senior high school

basketball teams in the province. Maya Olynyk added 12 points for the Titans, along with six assists and four rebounds. Anna Frenkel knocked down three shots from long distance on her way to 13 points. Ashley Lamoureux and Emma Piggin added four points each, with Kanesha Reeves adding three to round out the scoring for the Titans.

Needham developing, Blazers search for form By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Blazer netminders Cole Cheveldave and Taran Kozun could use a dose of teammate Matt Needham’s confidence. “I’m finally starting to get my game where it needs to be and starting to put up points as a result,” Needham told KTW. “Once you kind of get on a roll, things start to come easy for you. You don’t second-guess yourself. “You’re confident the play you’re making is the right one.” Needham racked up five points in two weekend games, including a hat-trick in a 5-4 loss to the Victoria Royals at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday, Jan. 19. Kamloops downed the Tri-City Americans 4-1 in Kennewick, Wash., on Friday, Jan. 18. On Saturday, indiscipline and shaky goaltending plagued the Blazers, who have struggled to find consistency since tearing up the Western Hockey League in September and October. Needham, from Penticton, is developing into the player

Kamloops management expected him to be when he was drafted eighth overall at the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. The Blazers picked Cole Ully in Round 2, 30th overall, the same year. The Calgary product has led the Blazers in scoring since the Christmas break. Needham and Ully, both 17, have found chemistry playing on a line with 18-year-old forward Chase Souto. The unit combined for 13 points on the weekend. Blazer head coach Guy Charron has been looking for that type of secondary scoring for quite some time. Now, it’s up to the big guns to return to form. JC Lipon, Tim Bozon and Colin Smith, in fairness, have had little time to rekindle the early-season magic, with Lipon only recently returning from international duty at the world junior hockey championship in Ufa, Russia, and Bozon out on the weekend due to sickness. Charron is still tinkering with line combinations, deciding where to use the likes

Needham has 11 goals and 28 points this season, on pace to dwarf last season’s totals of 12 goals and 34 points. “I’m just getting some confidence back,” Needham said. “Playing with [Souto and Ully] has been great. We’ve got a lot of chemistry.” The Blazers are hosting the Everett Silvertips at ISC on

Wednesday, Jan. 23. Puck-drop is slated for 7 p.m. First-place Portland held an 11-point lead over third-place Kamloops in the Western Conference at KTW’s press deadline on Monday, Jan. 21. Kelowna, in second place, was five points back of the Winterhawks. Bozon and defenceman Landon Cross are both questionable with sickness for

Wednesday’s tilt, and forward Aspen Sterzer is still out with an upper-body injury. Fans will soon be able to decide for

themselves if the deck with which Kamloops is playing has enough cards to make a championship run. “We’re home and

everyone’s healthy,” Needham said. “We’ve got to take advantage of it and start climbing our way back up the standings.”

After a brief illness Floyd Emmanuel Parkinson, passed away peacefully while surrounded by family. Floyd was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, moving his family to Logan Lake in 1972. He will be remembered for his numerous home businesses, generosity and dry wit. Floyd is survived by his loving and devoted partner Pat Osborne; his sons Kent and Keith (Cole), daughters Leslie Biro, Susan (Gene) and Jennifer (John) and grandchildren Stacey, Kassidy, Chelsea, Kendal, Stephanie, Tyler, Jordan, Bailey and great granddaughter Hannah. Floyd was predeceased by his oldest son Kurt (Penny), and his beloved wife Lorraine. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Saint Michael’s Parish (Logan Lake Community Church). Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

A Vanished Friend One Final Gift

Anne Elizabeth Platzer (nee Cameron) June 6, 1943 – December 7, 2012

Anne was predeceased by her husband (Roy) Joseph George Platzer. Leaving behind children Serena Platzer-Byron & Marcus Platzer, daughter-in-law Catherine Platzer and grandchildren Cole Landrie, Julianne Platzer and Justin Platzer-Byron

A celebration of life will be held at a future date.

Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. Author Unknown

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

Actors perform in The Importance of Being Earnest at the Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon on Sept. 18, 2012. It previews at the Sagebrush Theatre on Jan. 24 and Jan. 25, wrapping up Feb. 2. Liam Richards photo

Set design brings Earnest to life in 2-D By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

HERE’S A PRACTICAL REASON THE SETS FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST ARE TWO-DIMENSIONAL. It’s easier to move them on and off stage, said Ross Nichol — the man behind the set for the play that opens at Sagebrush Theatre, this week — but the two dimensions also play into the theme of superficiality in the Oscar Wilde play. “The two-dimensional works

with that,” Nichol said. “Superficiality was one of the themes the director wanted to follow ROSS up on,” Nichol said, NICHOL with the director “always wanting more” and the creative department doing its best to meet those demands. Earnest is a co-production with Persephone Theatre and Nichol went there to work on construction of the sets – one interior and two exterior.

The play opened the Saskatoon theatre’s season last September and the sets were then loaded onto a 45-foot-long tractor-trailer and shipped to Kamloops. “Our rental truck to move it up the hill [from storage on Lorne Street] was a bit smaller,” Nichol said. “It took four trips to get it all up here.” One week before previews and the opening, Nichol was in Sagebrush with Brian Britton, Eric Maher, Darren John and Joel Eccleston creating the Victorian setting Wilde — and director

Johnna Wright — envisioned. Nichol said he’s taking advantage of the machinery at the Ninth Avenue theatre and will use the flys to move the scenery in and out. “It’s the director’s role to ask for the impossible,” he said, and Wright has done that “but it’s not unreasonable. “It’s like a challenge, exchanging ideas, talking about bits of the script and creating the vision.” Inspiration can come from anywhere, he said. Much of it comes from Nichol’s theatre education at the University

of Victoria and the decades he has put into his craft — but, sometimes, it can just pop up in the most unlikely place. Use of the rose-covered trellises for an outdoor scene, for example, comes from a visit to a Swedish palace when the Nichol family was touring Europe a few years ago. There was an outdoor theatre at the palace; it used hedges to create the wings of the stage — and Nichol is doing something similar with the trellises. X See ‘IT’S LIKE’ B3

Kamloops:

‘It’s like a big ship with ropes running everywhere’ X From B1

Because of the shared production, costs have also been split between the two theatres. Nichol said materials alone cost about $3,000, with more money for props required. Lighting is just as key to a production and especially with Earnest. In one eight-squarefoot area of the stage alone, Nichol said, there will be 11 lights, each with its own function. Some will be focused on the trellises and will have stencils on them to diffuse and texture the lights. Others will be on different parts of the stage. As the audience enters, one light will shine across the stage, its sole purpose to look like sunlight coming in from a window while the theatre-goers take their seats. Lighting a play “is like a big ship with ropes running everywhere. there are lights all over,” Nichol said. “We have to break it all down to what is happening on the stage at any time and what

lighting it needs. “I’ve hung just about every light in the place for this one,” he said of Earnest. And, as the play starts its run, with previews on Thursday, Jan. 24 and Friday, Jan. 25, opening night on Saturday, Jan. 26 and the final performance on Saturday, Feb. 2, Nichol has already moved on to the next WCT production he’s creating, Never Shoot a Stampede Queen. It

opens at the Sagebrush Theatre in mid-April. Nichol is married to Robin Nichols, who teaches in the theatre-arts program at Thompson Rivers University — and that makes for an interesting experience when they go to a play and sit in the audience. “She’s looking at how it’s directed and acted and I’m sitting there looking at the set and the lights,” Nichol said.

“After seeing a play, it’s like a debrief in the car on the way home.” Having done more than 150 plays — including The Man Who Shot Chance Delaney in 2010 with Wright — there’s one Nichol said he’d love to design and light — Filthy Rich by Canadian playwright George F. Walker. A crime-drama, it’s of the film noir genre, Nichol said, “and it would be fun to do.”

Teacher gets dramatic with curriculum By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Everyone who has seen A Christmas Story knows Ralphie Parker has a specific item he wants for Christmas. But, what if he didn’t get it? What if the gift he opened on Christmas Day was something else? How would Ralphie — or any child — react? Westmount elementary teacher Katherine Richard gave that assignment to her Grades 4/5 class last month, with the directions they were to mime the entire episode, from picking up the box to setting it down to opening it and reacting. From those actions — a la the classic game of Charades — the other students were to guess what the gift was. Richard said she ensured the students knew they had to use actions that made it fairly easy for the students — and some of the skits included finding a puppy to pet and a hockey helmet to put on and fasten. The inspiration for the exercise was a study guide created for A Christmas Story, Western

Canada Theatre’s holiday-season production, and, in particular, a suggested assignment based on Ralphie receiving a bunny-suit pyjama set rather than the BB gun he wanted. Jennifer Jones creates the guides and, as a teacher, she said she tries to overlap the various components with existing school curriculum. For example, the guide she did for Where the Blood Mixes, a story of First Nations residential schools and redemption, Jones had units that could be used in English, history, social justice, theatre-production and drama classes at various grade levels. Richard liked the guide for A Christmas Story because there were many ways to use it to deal with educating her students about bullying. For The Importance of Being Earnest, which opens at Sagebrush Theatre on Thursday, Jan. 24, one of the units Jones has included in the guide deals with what British society was like in the late 1800s, the time period in which Oscar Wilde set his satirical farce. Another unit uses suitcases —

a key element in the Wilde play at one point. Jones said she approaches each guide with the viewpoint of what she as a teacher would find beneficial for teachers and appropriate for various age levels. Some plays aren’t suitable for younger grades and the guides are geared toward older students. Others — each WCT season has at least a couple of familyfriendly productions — are written with an eye to the younger demographic. Teachers who register to take their students to production matinees are sent the guides, said WCT education co-ordinator Terri Runnalls, although the guides are also posted online. They go to principals and to teachers who have attended matinees in the past as a way of enticing them back, Runnalls said. It’s all part of a strong focus on education and the role of the theatre in schools, she said, something Richard agreed has taken on a new life with the arrival of artistic director Daryl Cloran in 2010.

Matinees offer cheap Deadline fast approaching for juried show-and-sale ﬁeld-trip alternative ART GALLERY X From B4

“Since Daryl has come on, he has turned that theatre around to be more proactive with kids,” Richard said. “And, I just don’t understand why more teachers don’t take their kids to them. They’re not expensive.” School matinee tickets are $7 each. The program is popular, Runnalls said, particularly any production geared toward younger children. Matinees of the family-friendly plays are always sold out and, last year, with the addition of Where the Wild Things Are — brought in specifically to help introduce young children to the theatre — 10 matinees were scheduled and each also sold out. Richard took her class to one of them, although she thought the Maurice Sendak story might be too juvenile for them. “They absolutely loved it,” she said. “It was interactive and they got right into it.” And, the teacher said, you never really know how great the impact of seeing a play might be on a student. She’s seen it, she said. In her first year at Westmount, teaching a Grades 6/7 class, she took her students to one of the plays. One girl in particular who Richard described as animated and fascinated with voices had never seen a live production before. “She saw it and she saw something that affected her and, now, that girl wants to go into drama.”

The deadline for submissions for the third annual Kamloops Arts Council Juried Art Show and Sale is Saturday, Jan. 26. The event, which will see $700 given out in awards, provides emerging and amateur local artists with constructive criticism and a chance to have their work seen by the public. All mediums are welcome and all submissions will be on display for the length of the the show and sale, which opens on Saturday, Feb. 16, and continues to Sunday, Feb. 24, at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. Information on entering the show is

available online at kamloopsarts.com. Awards include $300 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 each for third place and People’s Choice award.

Nissan plans to build on what was a banner year in 2012 For Nissan, 2012 was a banner year and one the company expects to emulate in 2013. In Canada, Nissan sold 82,194 vehicles, proof again the brand is foremost among drivers from coast to coast to coast. In particular, 2012 was one of the best years for the Infiniti brand, with 7,993 units sold, up 15.2 per cent from 2011. Two redesigned Nissan core models achieved a strong finish to the calendar year. Sales of the new Nissan Pathfinder SUV reached 530 units in December, an increase of 278.6 per cent from December 2011, while the Nissan Sentra subcompact achieved 944 units, a year-over-year sales increase of 24.4 per cent, making it the top-selling model in the Nissan lineup. Nissan division sales were 4,439 units for the month. The completely redesigned Nissan Pathfinder posted sales gains of 41.8 per cent — which equates to 2,666 units sold. The Rogue crossover continues to be a top performer in the Nissan portfolio, with sales totaling 14,329, besting last year’s milestone sales record. Nissan’s truck lineup performed extremely well in the market last year, with both the Nissan Frontier and Titan posting their best sales year ever, up 18.4 per cent and 12.8 per cent, respectively. The Infiniti brand experienced 11 months of consecutive year-over-year growth, with 2012 sales totaling 7,993, up 15.2 per cent from 2011. Propelling this sales momentum is the all-new Infiniti JX luxury crossover, which has shaken up its competitive segment, posting sales of 2,178 units in nine months.

The Sentra was the best-selling Nissan product in Canada last year and figures to lead the company into a equally successful 2013.

2013 Chevrolet Trax handles all scenarios in all seasons W ON TRAX ITH THE 2013 Chevrolet Trax, interior space is not an issue thanks to the immense amount of storage space. Everywhere you look in the car, there’s a cubby, cup holder, coin dish, magazine pocket, or some kind of hidden compartment. For those who travel with their hockey sticks, snowboards and whatever equipment they have, they will find the rear trunk large enough for bags, while the 60-40 rear-seats fold down to accompany larger items. Need more space? The front passenger seat also folds flat. In terms of pricing and packaging, the Trax is well suited to the young adventurer. Its secret weapon

is the slick new Chevy MyLink infotainment system, a vibrant touch-screen that is fast and responsive and features tight integration with smartphones. An iPhone can provide tunes from a Swiss reggae station (or numerous others) thanks to the TuneIn

App integration. The Trax’s wide stance and enhanced traction technologies — including available all-wheel drive — give it the capability of handling all situations in all four seasons. A standard turbocharged Ecotec 1.4L engine makes the

streets come alive, yet also delivers excellent fuel efficiency and safety, with 10 standard airbags. Three trim levels are available. The LS model is front-wheel drive and comes with a six-speed manual transmission, while the LT and LTZ

models get a six-speed auto and will have the all-wheel drive option. The Trax all-wheel drive system is interesting. Engineers thought that if the vehicle started from a stop in front-wheel drive and then encountered slippery conditions when the allwheel drive kicked in, it might be noticeable and bothersome to the driver. So, at every stop, the Trax starts out in all-wheel drive and, if there’s no slip detected on any of the wheels, it unobtrusively shifts itself into front-wheel drive at three to five km/h for less drag and optimum fuel economy. All models of Trax come with hill assist that won’t allow the vehicle to roll backwards, which is nice if you’re taking off from a hill.

1. All new for 2013, the Trax is available in more than 140 markets, including Mexico and Canada, but not the U.S. 2. Under the hood of the Trax is a 1.4L, turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the Chevy Sonic, which puts out 138-hp and 148 lbs-ft of torque. 3. An optional Active-On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive system is exclusive to the Trax and the Trax-based Buick Encore. 4. Chevrolet MyLink is getting an expanded app selection, including BrinGo navigation, which is a $50 smartphone app that adds navigation to the infotainment system.

Auto Show. The seven-seat Santa Fe is powered by a 3.3-liter direct-injection V6 good for 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Towing capacity is rated at 5,000 pounds, thanks in part to the Santa Fe’s active cornering control AWD system, which uses both torque and brake vectoring to send specific amounts of power or braking to each wheel. Compared to the Santa Fe Sport, the Sante Fe’s wheelbase grows four inches, while the overall length of the vehicle gains almost 10 inches. Leg room in the second row increases 1.9 inches, while the rearbench seat passengers get 31.5 inches of legroom. The long-wheelbase Santa Fe gets a little bit of its own style as well, with larger rear windows and its own body side lines that stretch back from the B-pillar. 18-inch Euroflange alloy wheels, chrome-tipped dual exhaust and a flush-mounted tow hitch design

round out the larger Santa Fe’s unique features. Interior design stays the same as the Santa Fe Sport model, except for the addition of the third seat, which uses a 50/50 split and can also be folded flat into the floor. Inside, the 2013 Santa Fe’s interior is attractive as it is high tech. Front-row and second-row legroom has been increased by 38 millimetres and 45 millimetres, respectively, over the outgoing model. Also featured are electronically powered adjustable front seats with a memory function that adapts to the preferred positions of different drivers. An optional 220-volt power socket also provides additional convenience, giving power to laptops and other devices necessary for road-trip needs. Located in the trunk, the socket can power equipment rated up to 200 watts without a specific inverter. Additional electronics fitted to the third-generation Santa Fe include driver aids such as light-detecting and rain-detecting lights and wipers, as well as a clever radar-controlled, adaptive cruise-control system. To help with parking, the new Santa Fe is also fitted with the Smart Parking Assist System, aiding parking-challenged drivers.

Smaller, fuel-efﬁcient B-Class gets huge response in Canada The B-Class happens to be the smallest MercedesBenz-branded car the German automaker sells in Canada. But, that doesn’t mean the launch of a new B is small news. Underneath the second-generation four-door hatchback lies an all-new compact platform, a modular architecture that will support a whole new family of compact and subcompact vehicles from the German automaker; in fact, as governments demand more fuel-efficient fleets, Mercedes-Benz Canada is counting on a host of new small Tri-Star cars coming here over the next few years to form a large part of its business. The first frontwheel-drive Mercedes ever sold in Canada, the B was a tall, five-

passenger, four-door hatchback that was marketed as a little brother to the full-size R-Class minivan. The new B essentially sticks to the same formula as the outgoing model. Its new platform

is flexible enough to allow not only frontwheel drive, but allwheel drive variants as well, and the ability to slide in gasolineelectric hybrid, natural gas, pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell powerplants.

B-Class features include: • 208 hp turbo engine; • LED daytime running lamps; • 17” alloy wheels; • ARTICO upholstery; • 5.8-inch infotain-

ment display; • 7G-DCT automatic transmission; • Dual exhaust system; • Runflat tires; • Steering-wheel shift paddles; • Ambient lighting. The B-Class is also

all about safety, as it is the safest car in the segment. Innovative assistance systems further enhance the excellent standard of safety offered by the B-Class: • Nine airbags; • Collisionprevention assist; • Attention assist; • Electronicstability program

(ESP); • Acceleration-slip regulation (ASR); • Tire-pressure loss warning; • Anti-lock braking system (ABS); • Brake assist (BAS); • Adaptive brake including hill-start assist, predictivebrake priming, automatic brake drying and a hold function. B-Class specs include a 2.0-L,16V direct-injection turbo four-cylinder engine with ECO start/stop and a 7G-DCT dualclutch automatic transmission. It turns out 208 hp at 5,500 rpm and 258 lb-ft torque at 1,250 to 4,000 rpm. The B-Class boasts more than $7,000 in added value, yet the $29,900 MSRP remains the same.

New Stingray steals the show in Detroit By Jim Robinson METROLAND MEDIA wheelstalk.com

The undisputed star of this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit was the 2014 Corvette Stingray. It marks only the third time since the Corvette was launched in 1954 that the Stingray name has been used — such is its importance to General Motors. Its styling leaves no doubt this is a Corvette but it is easily the sleekest version yet with a 6.2-litre V8 producing an estimated 450 horse power and 450 pound-feet of torque and will have a zero to 60 m.p.h. time of less than four seconds. Corvette officials say it is expected to be better on fuel than the (U.S.) 26 m.p.g. of the current model. The interior features genuine carbon fibre with magnesium frame seats and dual eightinch configurable infotainment systems. Heightening the ride and handling is a five-position Drive Mode switch that allows the driver to factor in 12 different “attributes,” while the new seven-speed manual transmission comes with Active Rev Matching that anticipates when the driver is about to shift and matches the gear to engine speed. For those who want more, there is the track-capable Z51 performance package including an electronic limited-slip differential, dry-sump oiling system, integral/ differential/transmission cooling as well as an aero package that improves high-speed stability.

FORD Over at Ford, it was all about trucks with heavy emphasis on commercial vans starting with the all-new Transit full-size van powered by a new 3.2-litre power stroke fivecylinder diesel. In Europe, the same engine produces 197 horse power and 347 poundfeet of torque. The new engine features state-of-theart piezoelectric fuel injectors fed through a high-pressure common rail fuel system and advanced emissions technology with the expectation of fuel economy exceeding (U.S.) 40 m.p.g. And then Ford showed what it called “a little surprise” with the Atlas Concept pickup giving a very clear indication of what the next generation F-150 will look like. The design was heavily influence by customer feedback, with the inclusion of multiple tie-down points integrated within the cargo box walls and load floor. There are 110-volt electrical outlets in the cargo box to charge power tools. An integrated roof-carrying system and hidden extendable ramps give the truck unique functionality for a variety of jobs. Inside thin, lightweight

The much-awaited 2014 Corvette Stingray (above) — with a 6.2-litre V8 engine turning out 450 horse power and expected to provide better fuel economy than previous ‘Vettes — was the hit of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. One of the most popular exhibits at this year’s show has been the Mopar Garage (below), featuring a variety of Chrysler products with Mopar performance and appearance packages.

leather seats allow extra legroom for rear passengers. The Atlas powertrain features auto stopstart that shuts off the engine when stopped in traffic to save fuel. Other fuel saving devices include active grille shutters that close to improve aerodynamics when cruising on at steady speeds; active wheel shutters that automatically close at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics and a drop-down front air dam that lowers at highway speeds to improve underbody airflow. The air dam is raised at low speeds to improve ground clearance.

JEEP The diesel-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee is back with a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel with a range of close to 1,000 kilometres. Also available with the current 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and 5.7-litre Hemi V8, it will also feature air suspension, a choice of fourwheel-drive systems and the ability to tow up to 7,400 pounds. And it will also be the safest Grand Cherokee ever with more than 60 driver security features including front park assist, forward collision warning with crash mitigation, adaptive cruise control and selec-speed control.

CADILLAC GM Canada president Kevin Williams told Canadian autowriters the car he is most excited about this year is the Cadillac ELR. It is not a hybrid but an extended range electric vehicle (EREV), much like the Chevrolet Volt. A T-shaped lithium-ion battery rated at 16.5 kW provides primary motive power good for 35 miles of normal driving. When that is depleted a 1.4-litre gasoline engine/ generator kicks in extending the range to

300 miles. The battery/engine can be configured into four modes – sport, touring, mountain and hold. Hold allows the driver to use the engine as a generator to save battery power for things such as prolonged city driving. The battery alone has 295 pound-feet of torque that is instantly available allowing it to sprint to 60 m.p.h. in about eight seconds. When the battery is depleted, the engine/ generator produces 207 hp. X See CHRYSLER B20

Saab, GM enter warranty deal Saab Automobile Parts North America (SPNA), the exclusive provider of Saab Genuine Parts and Accessories to the U.S. and Canadian markets, and General Motors Company (GM) have entered into a warranty-services agreement. It authorizes SPNA to provide warranty administration and related services through Saab’s network of warranty service providers for model year 2009 and prior Saab vehicles still covered under the GM limited warranty. The agreement permits Saab owners the opportunity to have their vehicles

repaired by Saab factory trained technicians using Saab genuine parts by a nationwide network of warranty service providers. The transition of warranty administration services from GM to SPNA commenced on December 17, 2012. Geographically, the agreement covers all of the United States and Canada. It will not affect the original manufacturer limited-warranty coverage on GM vehicles. All scheduled maintenance, roadside assistance, loaner vehicle allowances and

Certified Pre-Owned coverage remain in effect. Saab warranty service providers will have a Saab dedicated claims processing team and access to technical experts to assist with the timely completion of necessary maintenance and repairs. The agreement also calls for the establishment of a North America Customer Assistance Centre (CAC). All Saab owners will benefit from the CAC which will be available for customer facing interactions across North America in the coming months.

Introduced last year, the Chrysler Blacktop styling package, shown here on the Charger, proved a big hit and now it is being expanded across all models.

Chrysler shows off Blacktop trim X From B19

CHRYSLER/FIAT Chrysler introduced a much extended lineup of Blacktop trim package vehicles. For the 2013 calendar year, the Dodge Grand Caravan minivan, Durango seven-seat SUV and Journey mid-size crossover join the Challenger, Charger and Avenger to complete the Dodge brand’s offering of Blacktop packages. As an example, the Dodge Blacktop package adds unique gloss

black wheels, select exterior paint colours, gloss black-painted “splitcrosshair” grilles with gloss black matching grille surround, black headlamp bezels, and interior touches. Fiat, meanwhile, continues to spin out versions of the 500. At Detroit, it showed the Fiat 500 Abarth “Tenebra” design concept with unique matte grigio (gray) paint and special appointments including a roof-size Abarth scorpion logo. The Fiat 500 “Cattiva” design concept highlights the 500 Turbo’s modern look featuring sporty bi-color look and blacked-out appearance.

Mitsubishi snags IIHS praise Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. has seen a pair of its 2013 vehicle offerings named by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as Top Safety Picks. For the sixth year in a row, the Mitsubishi Lancer compact sport sedan (including Sportback five-door) joins the elite group of 2013model vehicles that meet the Insurance Institute’s rigid vehicle crash testing criteria in order to be called an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer is one of the most fuelefficient vehicles in the company’s varied model lineup as it achieves a lofty EPA-rated (U.S.) 34 m.p.g. highway with the 2.0-litre engine. And, for the second year in a row, the Mitsubishi Motors’ made-in-America five-passenger 2013 Outlander compact crossover makes the grade as an IIHS “Top Safety Pick.” Outlander Sport achieves an EPA-rated (U.S.) 31 m.p.g. highway.

language, taking many styling cues from the Infiniti Essence concept car that was first shown in 2009. Two power options will be offered, a 328 hp 3.7-litre V6 or a hybrid model combining a 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 with a 50 kW electric motor and a compact lithium ion battery, producing a net hybrid power of 360 horse power. Both rear- and allwheel drive systems are available with a sevenspeed automatic transmission. One major new technology debuting in the Q50 is Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering that allows advanced control of the tire angle and steering inputs and transmits those driver inputs to the wheels faster than a mechanical system. Four different steering settings are available. The Q50 will also be the only vehicle in the world currently offering a new safety system called Predictive Forward Collision Warning, a feature that Infiniti president de Nysschen says will eventually be on every car on the road.

If the North American International Auto Show is any indication, the luxury automotive market is still very much a going concern these days. Surprisingly, despite the tough economic times of recent years, the luxury segment has continued to grow in North America and Japanese models from Infiniti and Lexus as well as others from European, domestic and even Korean manufacturers are being showcased at this year’s event. Among the notable vehicles bowing here is Infiniti’s G37 replacement, the 2014 Q50 sports sedan. This is the first model to employ Infiniti’s new ‘Q’ naming nomenclature and it will be in dealerships this summer. From now on, Infiniti will be using the letter Q to identify its car models. The letter Q will be combined with a double-digit number. The higher the number, the higher the model is on the Infiniti hierarchy, according to president Johan de Nysschen. The Q50 is also the first model to display Infiniti’s new design

Audi’s race-car technology used to design chair The seemingly humble household chair has just undergone a Vorsprung durch Technik makeover — inspired by the Audi sports prototype that competed in the Le Mans 24-hour race this year, resulting in a tremendous 1-2-3 finish. The visually stunning R18 Ultra Chair was revealed earlier this month at the prestigious Design Miami show to a global audience. Masterminded by designers Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram, and developed using the most efficient and sustainable processes, the R18 Ultra Chair is made from a mix of carbon fibre, carbon and high-strength sheet aluminum.

The Audi R18 Ultra Chair unveiled at Design Miami, developed using the same technology employed in Audi racing cars. Made from carbon fibre, carbon and high-strength sheet aluminum, it weighs just 2.2 kilograms.

This combination guarantees maximum stability and comfort while reducing the consumption of materials. It also ensures that the chair is almost feather-light to lift. In conjunction with engineers at the Audi Lightweight Construction Centre, the designers used the data to optimize their prototype, resulting in a finished product which embodies the principles of Audi ultra-lightweight construction — through the intelligent deployment of advanced materials, high strength and exceptionally low weight have been achieved — in this case a total weight of just 2.2 kilograms.

NOT YOUR GRANDPA’S KIA

Kia is entering the premium sedan market with the 2014 Cadenza, which is the most technologically advanced vehicle Kia has ever offered in Canada. Expected to go on sale this spring, the Cadenza moves the brand upmarket with standard and optional equipment like advanced smart cruise control, a lane departure warning system and blind-spot detection. Designed under the watch of Kia’s styling guru Peter Schreyer, the company’s chief of design, the Cadenza has a distinctive “Tiger Nose” front fascia and an athletic stance.

Lexus hybrids like this GS 450h have helped the company sell more than 506,000 hybrids since the RX 400h made its debut in 2005.

Lexus hybrid sales pass the 500,000 mark Since the first RX 400h took to the road in 2005, through to the end of November this year, Lexus has sold more than 506,000 vehicles equipped with its Lexus Hybrid Drive system. There has been a steady increase in sales, with expansion of the hybrid range taking the technology into new parts of the market and reaching new customers. In the year Lexus Hybrid Drive made its debut, 26,000 vehicles were sold. By Nov. 30, 2012, the annual total was already at 113,000. Today, hybrids account for about 25 per cent of all Lexus sales. The RX 400h, launched in 2005, was

the world’s first production full hybrid luxury SUV. Succeeded by the RX 450h in 2009, it has claimed the largest share of Lexus hybrid sales with 259,000 units sold through the end of November of last year. Lexus’ second hybrid model — the GS 450h — was introduced in 2006 and was the world first premium production saloon to be fitted with a rear-wheel drive full-hybrid powertrain. Global sales have so far reached 32,000, with a significant boost achieved in 2012 following the introduction of the new generation model, with 8,000 units sold between January and November. The LS 600h extend-

ed the range further in 2007, marking another world-first in being the first production car to
