Alleged driver faces four other charges By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The man being investigated as being the driver who hit and killed Valerie Brook in a downtown crosswalk in November was in court on Monday, Feb. 25, facing four driving-related charges not connected to the fatal accident. Donald Isadore told court he has yet to hire a lawyer and his case was adjourned to Monday, March 11. Isadore faces two charges each of driving while prohibited and operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. The charges stem from incidents in January — on Friday, Jan. 4, at 540 Victoria St. and on Wednesday, Jan. 9, on a unidentified Kamloops road. Brook was in a Victoria Street crosswalk when she was hit on Nov. 21 by a Ford F-150 truck turning left from Sixth Avenue onto Victoria Street — right next to 540 Victoria St., home to Hotel 540 and Lake City Casino. The 66-year-old woman was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital, but died on the way. Less than three weeks before Brook was hit, Isadore had been given a 30-day jail sentence and a two-year driving ban from other charges dealt with in provincial court. In April 2011, he was handed a 14-day jail sentence and a one-year driving prohibition. The Jan. 4 charges came after police received a tip a man prohibited from driving was at the Lake City Casino and had a vehicle in the parking lot. Mounties staked out the area and later arrested a man as he drove away. At that time, the RCMP said the driver was the same man involved in the Brook fatality. The investigation into the Brook fatality is continuing and RCMP are awaiting reports before recommending criminal charges to Crown. Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the report should be finalized in about three weeks. RCMP have already recommended charges under the Motor Vehicle Act of driving while prohibited and failing to yield for a pedestrian.

A new museum, access to shopping, an auditorium with decent acoustics, a good bar. These are a few of the features Kamloopsians want to see in a new performing-arts centre, accord-
ing to the approximately 200 participants who turned out to the city’s first public input session on the weekend. The mixed-age crowd spent three hours at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday, Feb. 23, talking everything from
design priorities to possible partnerships the city could pursue if it eventually commits to the as-yet-unfunded project. Jessie Paynter, an

Then there were three in the south By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
There’s a third name to watch in the battle for Kamloops-South Thompson. About 60 people turned out to a B.C. Conservative nomination meeting on Thursday, Feb. 21, with another 20 party members mailing in votes. Their pick is former city councillor and Mountie Peter Sharp, who scored a decisive victory over
Peter Sharp will be the B.C. Conservative candidate in Kamloops-South Thompson. The former city councillor will face B.C. Liberal candidate Todd Stone and B.C. NDP candidate Tom Friedman in the May 14 election. KTW file photo
Maria Dobi, who ran for the party in 2009. Sharp said he feels good about his chances against B.C. Liberal newcomer Todd Stone and NDP candidate Tom Friedman, who ran unsuccessfully for the party in 2009. “I think I can compete with the other two candidates with no problem, because there’s a number of issues going on with regards to the Liberal party and its government and I think people are looking for a change,” he said. “There needs to be something new. And people haven’t forgotten what happened when the NDP last
got office.” Sharp said both parties have poor fiscal records, arguing the NDP “left the economy in shambles” and the Liberals have only added to the province’s deficit. “They [Liberals] say they’ve balanced the budget but, in order to do that, they’ve had to sell off some of our assets and raise taxes — and even the Medical Services Premiums they’ve raised by four per cent,” Sharp said. While this version of the Conservative party is relatively new on the scene, Sharp said that may be an advantage rather than a handicap during the campaign that precedes the May14 election. “I think there’s an opportunity for a new party that has no baggage to carry to come in and say, ‘We need to change things here,’” he said. And, he added, there is some historical precedent for Conservative success. “When the Liberals first came to office, they were not even in contention and yet they jumped in with 17 seats first time around,” Sharp said, referring to the party’s resurgence in 1991. Sharp said he plans to offer voters increased transparency from their government and a commitment to reducing the deficit. “I don’t think it’s necessarily by cutting, but by spending better and not lavishing it out on the partypolitics scene,” he said. While the Conservatives in Kamloops-North Thompson have yet to announce any candidates for the nomination, regional director Al Forseth said at least one person will step forward once their paperwork is processed. Terry Lake (B.C. Liberals) and Kathy Kendall (B.C. NDP) are confirmed candidates in the KamloopsNorth Thompson riding.
ELOCUTION EXCELLENCE The Knutsford Double “L” 4-H Club held its annual public-speaking competition at the Knutsford Community Hall on Saturday, Feb. 23, with members excelling in the art of elocution. Above: For his three-to-five-minute talk in the junior category, Eric Crawford chose the topic of sports and the need for today’s youth to participate in physical activities. Top left: Alana Higgins spoke in the junior category of her visit to Vancouver to attend the Me to We conference on child poverty and bullying of children, featuring guest speakers such as Desmond Tutu. Top right: Emalee Higgins added to the diverse junior-category mix by speaking of her experiences in raising an ever-growing flock of chickens and the neverending need for more and more space to keep them.

Nelson to plead guilty to charges in April The charges relate to an incident in Kamloops earlier this year. Nelson has been free on $10,000 bail and did not appear in court on Monday, Feb. 25. He was represented by his lawyer, Rob Bruneau. On Jan. 23, 2012,
Brett Anthony Nelson is expected to enter a guilty plea in Kamloops Supreme Court on Tuesday, April 9, on charges of sexual interference of a minor, break of probation and failure to comply with a probation order.
Brett Anthony Nelson

Does that pedestrian The Slimming Solution. have a badge? intersections of Summit Drive and McGill Road and Fortune Drive and Tranquille Road are two spots where motorists frequently ignore pedestrians. While Mounties have run several enforcement campaigns over the year, Savage said the force is also working with the city to see if the problem can be tackled in other ways. In some cases, Savage said, intersections need better lighting or more crosswalk flashers. “It’s a total review of the entire system, to see what’s an issue with some of these,” he said. “Looking for the root cause and dealing with it.”

Thinking of blowing past a pedestrian waiting to use a crosswalk? Drivers beware — that person could be a plainclothes police officer. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Mike Savage said officers have been posing as pedestrians at troublesome intersections throughout the city as part of the RCMP’s focus on pedestrian safety. Savage said the goal of the officers is to identify and deal with drivers who ignore crosswalk flashers, stopped vehicles or other indications pedes-
trians are crossing. Reckless pedestrians are also a focus. “We have some who will jump into the middle of the intersection, across four lanes of traffic, nearly getting hit by cars, and thinking they’re getting across,” Savage said. “Or we have ones where the light is against them and they bolt across. even with traffic coming.” Savage said the

Eatery had decade-long run in Aberdeen Mall By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Hey budda boom budda closed. East Side Mario’s, the Italian-inspired eatery in Aberdeen Mall, is no longer. “After proudly serving the community for approximately 10 years, East Side Mario’s regrettably had to close its Kamloops location this past weekend,” reads an official statement provided to KTW by a public-relations firm representing the chain. KTW had called Prime Restaurants,
the parent company of East Side Mario’s, to inquire about the closure. “The franchisees and staff had been working together to overcome the challenges facing the restaurant,” the statement continued, adding there are no plans for the Kamloops location to re-open. Until recently, there were more than 80 East Side Mario’s restaurants in Canada and two in the United States. However, the chain appears to be in trouble and has abruptly closed a number of locations across
what’s rumoured to be happening at Aberdeen Mall. Mall staff are staying silent, but word around the shopping centre is that The Gap is set to make its long-overdue debut in the Tournament Capital. The clothing giant is expected to occupy the space currently home to Chatters Hair Salon, on the lower level near the entrance to The Bay, along with a currently vacant store next door. Chatters would move to a larger location within the mall. Attempts by KTW to contact a representative of The Gap were unsuccessful.
Canada in recent weeks. In Dartmouth, N.S., local media reported staff being caught by surprise about the closure of an East Side Mario’s last month. Closer to home, the Vernon location has also been shuttered. The Kelowna restaurant remains open. Representatives from Aberdeen Mall did not return calls before KTW’s press deadline.

Cavers will not run provincially By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Donovan Cavers is sticking with city council. After toying with the idea of running as an independent in the May 14 B.C. general election, the rookie city councillor has decided he wants to focus on the duties of the elected office he already holds. Cavers, who ran for
the Green party in the last federal election, said he was never that sold on a provincial campaign. “I didn’t really want to, to begin with. I wanted to focus on city council. “But, I was worried the Ajax mine proposal wouldn’t be significantly debated,” he said. Cavers said he has spoken to many people who plan to make the
mine an election issue, whether Kamloops’ MLA candidates like it or not, and thinks the issue will be well represented even if he is not running. “There’ll be a lot of people asking a lot of hard questions at all their debates and forums, including myself,” Cavers said, encouraging voters with concerns about
the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen to press candidates on their position on Ajax. “Make sure they give you an answer that satisfies your concerns,” he said. While Cavers won’t be championing the Ajax issue on the ballot, B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk told KTW her party
is in negotiations with a possible candidate in Kamloops NorthThompson. When Sterk initially put out a call for candidates in the city, she said the party was looking for someone who could address issues surrounding Ajax. Sterk said the party hopes to have candidates in place in both local ridings by March 16.

Taxi stands moved Kamloops’ bar crowd isn’t flocking to cab stands set up several blocks from downtown nightclubs and bars, so the city is bringing the stands to them. Community safety manager Jon Wilson said the stands, which the city rolled out last year, will be moved to the 300-block of Victoria Street — by the Blue Grotto and The Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge — and in front of Cactus Jack’s Night Club on Fifth Avenue. The change could take place by next week. Wilson said taxi companies drove the change. The current cab stands, located on side streets rather than in front of the bars, weren’t being wellused and the spaces reserved for taxis were sometimes illegally filled by parked cars. The new locations will allow bar staff to monitor the stands, to make sure no one parks in them, Wilson said. The stands were originally located away from the bars to keep patrons from packing up and potentially causing problems outside the establishments. Wilson said that’s still a concern bylaw enforcement will be monitoring: “But, trying to get people to go to the taxi cabs that were not right there and visible was problematic as well.”

There has to be a way to extend elementary magic
W
HY CAN’T KIDS stay in the same class beyond elementary school? Why can’t the near-perfection of the elementary years carry on through high school? Why must the comfortable cocoon of community give way to the frenzied and foreign world of secondary school, where cliques are amplified and when so many kids begin to fall through society’s cracks? Grade 7 is, in a very real way, the end of innocence. For a few magical days last week, I was fortunate enough to live amongst that innocence as part of a parental group that joined teachers and two classes of kids in grades 6 and 7 on a journey to the McQueen Lake Environmental Centre, run with precision by caretaker Dan Sargent. Parents who have bunked down at the lake just 16 kilometres north of Kamloops will know what I mean when I say the 48-hour trip is revelatory in myriad ways. It’s about a half-hour from the city, but decades from today in terms of technology. Everyone sleeps (or attempts to) in rustic cabins that contain a couple of windows, hard, wooden bunk-type beds and a propane heater. That’s it. When it gets dark, it’s lights out with a side dish of old-fashioned ghost stories. There is no cell service, so there are no cellphones ringing beeping, buzzing or vibrating. There are no iPods, no iPads, no X-boxes, no Wiis, no Playstations, no TVs

MUSINGS and no radios. There is a landscape that only Mother Nature could create, a breathtaking camp of cabins and a lodge and a lake and woods that seem stolen from a Robert Frost poem, all layered in the most majestic of snowfalls and overseen by a sky so blue the hue has hypnotic qualities. True, the trip spanned only two nights, but that time period, with so many activities packed into a schedule from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seemed much longer — and left most, if not all, wishing it could actually be longer. Kids stood elbow to elbow with parents preparing breakfast and cleaning up after dinner; kids gathered in front of the lodge for impromptu games of road hockey on a snowy, makeshift arena; kids were led on long cross-country ski sojourns, taught wilderness-survival skills and created art from the natural world. These trips are invaluable in connecting kids with nature. But, more importantly, I would argue, these trips are crucial in fostering a sense of teamwork among all
kids by eliminating any pre-existing cliques and instilling an us-againstthe-world bond. The little things are the big things — five kids who normally don’t hang out at school strapping on snowshoes and heading out on the stillness of McQueen Lake under a million stars and a moon as bright as spilled milk; Kamloops Minor Hockey Association hot shots urging their non-hockeyplaying classmates to score a goal; kids from diverse backgrounds spending time together to craft brilliant skits to be performed in front of their peers, their teachers and their parents. Trips to McQueen Lake take kids out of their comfort zones and propel them into an atmosphere of family and shared values. Watching the kids laugh as they worked together, giggle as they wiped out on skis and relax as they played board games in front of a roaring fire left me wondering: What is it that happens in that jump to Grade 8 from Grade 7? Why is the first year of high school so often the origin of so much misery and tragedy? If we can see what works in the elementary system, why can we not see what doesn’t work, what hasn’t worked, at the high-school level for too long? Can we not extend that which makes the elementary years so pure and at least attempt to emulate it in secondary school? If not, why not? Too much innocence is lost at far too young an age in the status quo. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Throne speeches, by their very nature, are short on detail. They are used by the government of the day to give a glimpse ahead and put a positive spin on the coming year. All things change in an election year and the throne speech is not immune to those pressures. The B.C. Liberals used the Throne Speech earlier this month to focus mostly on one issue — the development of liquefied natural gas and the revenues it could bring to help the province meet its financial commitments well into the future. The opposition cried foul, claiming the government failed to address so many other issues facing British Columbians. Fair enough, but the NDP knows, or should know, the inherent lack of depth in throne speeches and the government’s tendency to paint broad strokes in what is purposely a vague document. However, as stated, this is an election year, so we can toss decorum and basic understanding of throne speeches out the window. The real meat of what a government intends to do in the coming year is in the budget, which was delivered last week. As for the throne speech, we applaud the B.C. Liberals for being cautious about making grandiose and expensive promises in an economic climate that is fragile, at best. Our basic understanding of government finances — any finances, really — is that there are two sides to figures out: Revenue and expenses. Despite what must have been bigtime pressure to make bold promises with an election only three months away, the B.C. Liberals were careful not to make large spending commitments. That’s the expenses side. They also brought forward a new revenue idea for B.C. that could help our children and their children after that — a liquefied natural-gas fund. Clearly, the B.C. Liberals looked to Alberta for inspiration — and why not? These resources belong to the people of B.C. It’s the government’s job to see they are managed responsibly, which includes where the revenue goes, and the throne speech did just that with respect to natural gas.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Story: 36 deaths identified at Kamloops Residential School: “Just the tip of the iceberg nationwide. “The money given to the natives is blood money. “This is a black mark in Canadian history that still repeats itself.” — posted by Ken Drury “9,700 Canadians died from tuberculosis in 1901 and 11,700 in 1908. “TB was killing scores of people around the world, not just Indians in Canada. “Then came the Spanish Flu, which killed upwards of 50,000 Canadians in 1918. “So, Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson, there were no “alarm bells” going off because there was nothing anyone could do at the time. “As for more compensation you desire, look to the church that committed these crimes. “The government of Canada has given enough — $2.29 billion. “How much has the church offered for its crimes to Indians, considering it was at their hands these children died?” — posted by Damion Lutraan
Stone disputes columnist’s viewpoint Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of Feb. 18 (‘Liberal Stone needs to take a breath and count to 10’): Foulds’ commentary was over the top in stretching the context of concerns I raised relating to NDP Leader Adrian Dix’s recent visit to Kamloops. First, as the parents of three little girls under the age of eight, my wife and I strongly believe in introducing our daughters to everything we possibly can, from art and dance to sports and science. One of our daughters in particular has developed a real passion for science as a result of hands-on time she has spent at the Big Little Science Centre in Kamloops, a community-based organization dedicated to teaching science in an interactive environment. We are and always will be strong supporters of science programs for kids. With this in mind, it is important to understand my concern was not with Science World and programs like BC PALS. In 2005, our government provided BC
PALS with a one-time, $5-million grant to support provincewide, science-based educational experiences. I know our government would love to provide more grants for programs like it. Obviously, tough choices are required in order to balance the budget and, hopefully with a strengthened economy that will result from our government’s prudent financial management, government will be able to provide more funding soon. That said, I believe British Columbians have waited long enough to see a fully costed plan from Dix and the NDP. While the premier and her team have laid out their clear vision for British Columbia through the BC Jobs Plan, the recent throne speech and budget, Dix and the NDP have refused to put forward similar plans for public scrutiny. Voters must make a choice in the next election and, in order to do this, they need to know where both parties stand on issues like the economy, taxes, spending and the resource sectors. Dix has taken the time to inform British Columbians as to whom he would hire
in the premier’s office, but has not shown voters the respect of laying out his plan, despite the fact we are less than 60 days away from the election campaign. A $1-million funding announcement of modest consequence to the families of Kamloops is a tiny slice of B.C.’s $45-billion budget and a tiny slice of the issues that really matter in Kamloops. The people of Kamloops deserve better than to have their votes taken for granted. They deserve to know where Dix stands on the big issues in Kamloops, like continuing the jobs momentum in our city and region, continuing the growth of our resource and tourism sectors and further expanding our hospital and university. As I continue my way through this MLA job-interview process with the citizens of Kamloops-South Thompson, I commit this to you: As I have done throughout my life, I will always work hard and speak strongly on behalf of the issues and projects that matter most to the people of Kamloops. Todd Stone BC Liberal candidate Kamloops-South Thompson
Government created highway problem Liberals fudge facts Editor: I have received a petition in the mail for me to sign that advocates a ban on commercial traffic on Highway 5A. The location of Highway 5A (Kamloops-Merritt Highway) versus Highway 5 (Coquihalla Highway) is fraught with unintended consequences, for those living in the Nicola Valley along the Merritt-toKamloops corridor and for the provincial government. When government committed to construction of the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the intended route from Merritt to Kamloops was similar to the current 5A location. The advantage of this route, compared to alternatives, is obvious to the average person, let alone highway planners and engineers.
However, residents and landowners objected so strongly that government caved and built the highway over a large hill. The final Merritt-toKamloops portion of the Coquihalla, compared to the original planned location: • Commits taxpayers to significant additional roadmaintenance costs compared to the original route planned. • Typically offers drivers more severe winter-driving conditions. • Costs drivers higher per-kilometre vehicle costs (fuel, brakes, transmissions). The last two points are significant. In fact, they are so significant that the natural outcome is some drivers, private and commercial, will opt for the slower, less-engineered alternative of Highway 5A.
Today, we have people who objected to a wellengineered highway in the right location objecting to commercial use of a lessengineered highway in the right location. Considering the ongoing waste generated by the location of the Coquihalla Highway, I am not only unsympathetic to this position, I am offended by it. To my disbelief, we now have the Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger supporting a restriction of commercial use on Highway 5A. There seems to be a disconnect between Krueger and his government that proclaims itself to be business-friendly and is supposedly concerned with vehicle emissions — a party that says it supports efficiency and reduction of red tape. Les Laithwaite Kamloops
in recent budget
Editor: Once again, the B.C. Liberals are attempting to pull a fast one over the public. They are foisting another fudgetbudget based on selling assets when last year’s proposed sale of government land never materialized. The Liberals are hiding from the public the massive BC Hydro debt — a whopping $4.5 billion by next year and some $59 billion over the next 30 years due to contracts signed for independent power projects that are costing us far more than double what power costs on the open market. Their supposed “no-frills” budget still likely offers plenty of subsidy “frills” to the oil-and-gas industry. And the budget cuts important programs, such as much-needed skills training, environmental oversight and forest inventory and planting. Clearly, the Liberals have lost the mandate to govern. Jim Cooperman president, Shuswap Environmental Action Society

COVER PAGE STORY Dutch Masters Painting
O’Fee a fan of new arts centre 3 X From A1
“It’s a great space,” Paynter said of Sagebrush. “I love that space, but there’s a lot of problems with it.” She wants to see a larger theatre that can accommodate more types of acts — and which doesn’t have to worry about disruptions if the high school next door stages a fire drill. Colleen Stainton, who is retired, said she’d like to see the theatre somewhere downtown, where it would be accessible to seniors and guests in the area’s recently renovated hotels. She thinks the west end of Lorne Street, where the Pavilion Theatre stands, might fit the bill. A few attendees, however, were there to raise concerns about what they see as a costly project that will only benefit a niche group. “My favourite thing is performing arts but, as a city, can we afford another multi-million dollar project?” asked Eugene Allgaier, who came to the meeting to raise his concerns about Kamloops’ debt levels. Allgaier believes a performing-arts centre would appeal to about five per cent of the public “and the other 95 per cent would have to pay for it.” John O’Fee, former city councillor and current CAO of the Tk’emlups Indian Band, said he thinks that’s a low estimate. “You’re saying 95 per cent of Kamloopsians never go to a concert?” he said. O’Fee said a performing-arts centre will make the community more liveable and help it attract doctors and other critical professionals. That, he said, is worth the cost. “Take a look at the fastest-growing cities and I guarantee you they’re not the places with the lowest taxes,” O’Fee said. “They’re the places where you want to be.”
SUGGESTIONS FROM THE ‘DREAM BOARD’
The City of Kamloops held a public-information session at the Tournament Capital Centre on the weekend as residents gave their input on what a performing-arts centre should look like, if it is one day built. Those attending, such as Laura Bittante (above), were encouraged to participate in group discussion session and add their comments to the “dream board.” Laura described herself as a local artist with strong ties and interests in the local arts community. George Wycherley/KTW
Here are a few ideas, as marked down in various colours at the publicinformation meeting at the Tournament Capital Centre: — “Lobby with view, bar and space for pre-program presentations.” — “The new building could also house the Big Little Science Centre.” — “We need a new museum.” — “Place to hang artwork and a nice place to eat.” — “Put it downtown, on the 300-block between Seymour and St. Paul streets, with parking underground.” — “It’s got to be better than what Kelowna has.”

NOTICE TO ELECTORS OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS PULP MILL SANITARY FORCE MAIN This is the second of two notices to advise electors in the City of Kamloops of the intention to adopt the "Pulp Mill Sanitary Force Main Loan Authorization By-law No. 14-1-170". The purpose of the by-law is to borrow an amount not to exceed $2,979,500 to finance the cost to install 3 km of 750 mm diameter PVC sanitary force main along a portion of Mission Flats Road to convey sewage from the entire south shore of Kamloops to the Kamloops Sewage Treatment Centre that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 15 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will result in a tax increase for the average residential property of $6.69 per year.

BC have been so fortunate to receive funds from the Pink Shirt Day campaign each year since its inception,” said Carolyn Tuckwell, president and CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC.
“These funds have supported our antibullying programs that help children and youth to develop the skills to help to put an end to bullying in all of its forms. “Our club kids feel more confident standing up for a friend or classmate that they see being bullied and some even talk about how they’ve been able to help their parents to better understand bullying.
SUPER PACK
“Now that’s impact!” During the past six years, London Drugs has helped raise more than $330,000 for Boys and Girls Clubs in Western Canada through the Pink Shirt Day Campaign. Pink Shirt Day T-shirts are available for $9.80 at London Drugs in both adult and youth sizes ranging from small to XXL, as well as online at pinkshirtday.ca.

Brown rink lands in Sochi By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
After a gruelling few days of travel, Corryn Brown’s Team Canada rink is in Sochi, Russia, where Draw 1 of the world junior curling championships gets underway on Thursday, Feb. 28. Canada opens its tournament on Thursday against Denmark, which is skipped by Stephanie
Risdal Nielsen.

Ward is the only rink member not from Kamloops. She is a
New Brunswick product. The Brown rink made stops in Calgary, Toronto and Istanbul en route to its final destination. Canada will play nine round-robin games — Denmark on Thursday, Scotland (March 1), Russia (March 2), Japan (March 3), Czech Republic (March 4), the U.S. and Switzerland
(March 5), and Norway and Sweden (March 7) — before the Page playoffs start on March 8. The gold-medal game is slated for Sunday, March 10. Ward is keeping a blog of the team’s experiences at worlds.

WolfPack jettisoned By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
There will be no Round 2 of the Canada West playoffs for the 2013-2013 edition of the TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team. TRU was swept in two games of its best-of-three quarterfinal series with the hometown Calgary Dinos — losing 79-66 on Saturday, Feb. 23, and 71-58 on Friday, Feb. 22. “Clearly, no one wants to have their season end on a loss, but I am very proud of the effort and commitment this team showed all season,” WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves said. “I want to especially
thank our seniors for their tremendous leadership and example they set all their years at TRU.” Diane Schuetze, Tracy Kocs and Jen Ju are the graduating members of the WolfPack. TRU topped Calgary 69-60 in Kamloops on Jan. 12. It was one of only three losses on the season for the Dinos (19-3). That win, coupled with a 15-7 mark in the regular season, left the Pack with high hopes heading into the opening-round series in Cow Town. Ju led TRU on Friday with 18 points and Schuetze carried the WolfPack with 23 points and eight rebounds on Saturday, but it was not enough to down the Dinos.
“Tonight really came down to their threepoint shooting and our inability to shoot free throws,” Reeves said after Friday’s tilt. “We had a dry spell in the second quarter, but they had one in the third. Rebounds and turnovers were the same for both teams.” Jessica Franz scored 21 points for Calgary against her former team on Saturday. The WolfPack qualified for the playoffs for the first time in program history last season, but were ousted in the first round by the Saskatchewan Huskies. TRU’s hardcourt women will have to wait until 2014 to try and crack the second round. — with files from TRU sports information

horseshoes By Sarah MacMillan SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
“It’s like pitching a ball,” Terry MCready explained. Except it’s not a ball he is pitching, but horseshoes. MCready is the BC Seniors Games zone 8 horseshoes co-ordinator and he has been competing in the sport since 1989. “I first [saw] it at a strawberry festival in Victoria,” said MCready, noting that is how he got started in a game he calls “tough fun.” Horseshoes is a game played by two to four people in a sand-box area that contains one target
stake at either end. The goal is to throw the horseshoe as close to the stake as possible. The person closest to the pin or stake is awarded points. The number of points varies, however, depending on how close the horseshoes are to the stake. For example, a ringer — which means the horseshoe encircles the stake — is worth three points. Each game goes to 40 points. “It doesn’t matter what level you are playing,” MCready said, “you still play to 40 points.” In the BC Seniors Games, horseshoe players are divided into two age groups — men’s and women’s age 55 and men’s and women’s age 64 and up.
The participants are then divided into different classes depending on their ringer percentage. A person’s ringer percentage is calculated by having the person throw 50 shoes in a row to get started. They than compete in at least three games and the rate is recalculated. “It takes three tournaments to get a good average,” MCready said, noting that to gain a higher average takes a lot of brain power. “You just have to concentrate on what you’re doing,” he said. For more information regarding horseshoes, contact MCready at 250-376-1988 or visit the BC Seniors Games website at bcseniorsgames.org.

The TRU Actors Workshop Theatre is getting dark with Sam Shepard’s Curse of the Starving Class . . . oh, and there’s a lamb in it
Dave Eagles/KTW
By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The first thing you should know about the production of Curse of the Starving Class, premiering later this week on the campus of Thompson Rivers University, is that the cast is not entirely human. The second thing you should
know about the play is that one of the cast members — the interloper — is less than two months old. The non-human, underage cast member in the TRU Actors Workshop Theatre production is a lamb. But, the human beings taking the Black Box Theatre stage alongside the precious, ador-
able, oh-so-cute newborn sheep don’t have to worry about their fluffy co-star taking top billing. That’s because the lamb doesn’t have a name. The animal, on loan to the theatre from a farm in Pritchard, is making its acting debut. In fact, director Wes Eccleston said the animal
hasn’t even rehearsed. A dog has been filling in for the ungulate as the actors polish off their performances. (The lamb has been such a no-show that even repeated emails by KTW to the Actors Workshop Theatre could not establish whether the animal is male or female.) X See CURSE B3

WCT’s Educating Rita ‘refreshing and real’ By Don Levasseur SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Educating Rita, the current production by Western Canada Theatre, is acting at its finest. And, for her debut on the Sagebrush Theatre stage, Holly Lewis is magnificent. The Willy Russell play is the story of Rita, played by Lewis, a working-class Liverpudlian hairdresser who decides to get an education. She enrols in an open-university English literataure course and encounters her tutor, Frank, played by Scott Bellis. The professor, in the more-than-capable hands of Bellis, is an alcoholic, disillusioned teacher and poet assigned to work with Rita. Lewis’s characterization of the title character is replete with brilliant timing and she strongly controls the emotional development of the role. Bellis is believable and captivating with his portrayal as a middle-aged man, bitter and bored by his own mundane, humdrum existence. The costume and set design by Drew Facey are equally superb. The set captured the room of a true English university professor — I could almost smell the musty books that covered the walls and floor of his study. The costumes were accurate to the era and to the characters who wore them. This is a funny, thought-provoking and fastpaced play that had me engaged in every scene. One in particular must be noted. There is a scene in which Rita is bowled over by her first Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet, and
her engagement in her study is refreshing and real. “Why on earth would you want to bother giving up an evening in a pub to watch amateur dramatics?” Frank asks Rita. For me, the response should have been: “To watch exactly this kind of play.” Educating Rita continues to March 2. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 0125 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Curse a ‘gritty and realistic’ story Director says dark story of dysfunction also has light moments X From B1
“It doesn’t know its lines, it doesn’t know its blocking,” Eccleston told KTW. “But, we’re willing to take that risk. It adds another element of excitement and theatricality.” The mood is loose after rehearsal in the Black Box Theatre — largely because there are so many jokes being made about the absent four-legged actor covered in wool — but Curse of the Starving Class, written by American playwright Sam Shepard, is anything but light. The play is set in a late-1970s farmhouse in the American West and depicts the deep-seeded struggles impacting a dysfunctional family. Eccleston described it as a “gritty and realistic” story. “They [members of the farmhouse
family] are starving in many regards — intellectually, spiritually,” he said. “It’s set in the past, but its themes are still very relevant and topical.” And, although its a dark tale, Eccleston said there are light moments as well — and, as mentioned at length above, a cute little lamb. “I wouldn’t say it’s a drama or a comedy or a tragedy,” he said. “It’s tragic in many senses, but it’s also funny at times.” Third-year student Matt Hardy, who plays Slater, said the story lends itself to the group of TRU actors — minus a lamb — who have been rehearsing it for seven weeks. “We all work really well together,” he said. “It’s a really good script and we can
No animals were harmed in the making of this play When a director is asked about what some of the struggles have been in the weeks leading up to a play’s debut, the answer is often something abstract like “getting the actors deeper into the essence of their characters” or “really reading the script.” Not so for Eccleston ahead of the premiere of Curse of the Starving Class. “Definitely, the major hurdle has been dealing with the acquisition of the lamb and making sure the animal’s safety is paramount,” he told KTW. “And also just acquainting ourselves with dealing with the animal.” Eccleston said human cast members whose characters have interaction with
the animal even took a special course in animal safety to make sure nothing baaad happens. But, the animal remains nameless — for now. “Several of the cast members want to call him Sam the Lamb,” Eccleston said. “Because, you know, Sam Shepard — shepherd.” One of those cast members, Justin Hall, said he’s looking forward to sharing the stage with the lamb. “It’s going to be unpredictable, but it’s a new challenge,” said Hall, who is playing the role of Wes. “It’s going to be interesting.” And, Hall said, it might end up on his resume. “Yeah,” he laughed, “’Worked with lamb.’”
really work with these characters a lot.” Eccleston echoed Hardy’s sentiment. “Sometimes it’s difficult to make yourself keep loving a script,” he said. “But, after seven weeks, I still love it.”
WHEN AND WHERE The TRU Actors Workshop Theatre’s production of Curse of the Starving Class premieres on Thursday, Feb. 28, at the Black Box Theatre inside the Old Main building on campus. It runs through Saturday, March 2, and then again from March 7 to March 9. All showtimes are 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 each and can be reserved through the Actors Workshop Theatre box office at 250-377-6100, or the Kamloops Live Box Office at 250-3745483 and online at kamloopslive.ca.

Nissan’s compact sedan just turned 30, and the automaker celebrated by giving the venerable vehicle a complete overhaul for the 2013 model-year
T
By Lorne Drury he Nissan Sentra may not be the car that immediately jumps to mind when you think of compact sedans, but it has a much longer history here than many of us might expect.
Believe it or not, the Sentra has been around these shores for 30 years and sold more than 320,000 units in Canada. That is less than the traditional compact sedan leaders like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Mazda3, but nothing to sneeze at nonetheless. So, for 2013, Nissan has put a new game face on the Sentra as it battles for sales growth in a highly competitive segment that has changed a great deal in the past few years with contenders from Korea and elsewhere
taking an increasingly larger share of the pie. Early indications are that the new seventh-generation Sentra is regaining traction with sales of 759 units in January in Canada — an increase of 7.5 per cent over the same month last year, during what is traditionally a slow month for auto sales. In December, dealers moved 944 Sentras off their lots. The Sentra and Altima are the volume leaders for Nissan, so it was important to get it right when it came
to the re-designed 2013 Sentra. It is part of a new wave of redesigned models from Nissan that will transform the lineup. In fact, the Sentra was the third of five new vehicles being introduced in a 15-month period, following the Altima and Pathfinder. Our tester was a top-end Sentra SL — one of four trim levels offered for 2013. Making the choice easy, there is only one engine available on the Sentra, a new 1.8-litre four-cylinder, producing 130 horse power and 128 pound-feet of torque. On the test vehicle we had the “next generation” Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission), with a six-speed manual also available. Nissan is a leading proponent of the CVT transmission and uses it on
most of its models because of the fuel-economy gains. On the Sentra’s CVT, a sub-planetary gear contributes to improved fuel efficiency at high speeds and better response at low speeds. Prices start at $14,848 for the S-model. With $1,567 for freight and PDI all in, our test vehicle priced out at $24,700. The SL package added $4,150 to that price. With improved fuel efficiency being a major goal for the new Sentra, engineers worked diligently to reduce the weight, bringing it in at five per cent less than the outgoing model — a reduction of 68 kilograms (150 pounds) thanks in part to the use of more high-strength steel.

The weight reduction comes despite the fact that the new car has slightly larger overall dimensions and more interior space. All in all, the reduced weight, a better coefficient of drag (0.29 versus 0.34 for the outgoing model) and a refined transmission produces a 13 per cent improvement in combined fuel economy to 5.8L/100 km, which Nissan says is best in its class. The CVT has a fuel-economy rating of 6.6L/100 km city and 4.9l/100 km highway, while the manual (available on the S and SV) is rated slightly higher at 7.5/5.5 L/100 km city/ highway, an indication of why Nissan has been using the CVT in its vehicles for years. During my test period I averaged about 6.5L/100 km in combined city/highway use. On the Sentra, the driver has a choice of three driving modes — Eco, Sport and Normal. As the name suggests, Eco is for economy and Sport for a more sporty experience. Changes in throttle response and transmission tuning account for the differences. Styling wise, the new Sentra is much more modern and classy, a huge step ahead of the 2005 model that sits in our driveway. While still conservative compared with the Hyundai Elantra and even the Ford Focus, the Sentra may still turn a few heads with its elegant styling. Compared to the outgoing model, the beltline has been lowered and a new character line has been added that runs from the front fenders, along the sides to the sculpted taillights and trunk lid. Up front is the new signature trapezoidshaped grille and large wrap-around headlights with LED accents, Nissan says it is the only sedan in the segment to offer them as standard. In the rear, LED taillamps are standard fare.
Inside, the SL-trim model is very nicely finished with lots of soft touch surfaces, a nice two-tone colour combination including wood trim, leather upholstery and a host of high-tech features like a 5.8-inch touchscreen navigation system, eight-speaker Bose premium sound system, dual zone automatic temperature control, rear-view camera and power sliding glass sunroof. For those who have to stay in touch there is also a neat feature called NissanConnect that offers a hands-free text messaging assistant that reads incoming text messages and allows drivers to reply without taking their hands off the steering wheel. The Nav system also allows streaming audio via Bluetooth, and on the touch screen access to real-time weather, fuel prices, airline flight information and POIs powered by Google. The roomier interior allows for 950 mm of rear legroom, more than competitors like the Toyota Corolla (922 mm) and Honda Civic and Mazda3 with 920 mm. Also roomier is the trunk, which now has a cargo volume of 428 litres, up 57 litres from the previous model. With only 130 hp under the hood, the Sentra struggles in the acceleration department, doing the zeroto-100-km/h run in 10.5 seconds at the 2013 Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) Car of the Year testing. In that event, the Sentra placed third in the Small Car under $21,000 category behind the Mazda3 Skyactiv and Kia Rio. Due in part to the CVT transmission, the Sentra is noisy under full-throttle, but much quieter at speed. During normal conditions, it is a very pleasant car to drive with a smooth ride, even on uneven surfaces. With the emphasis on fuel economy over performance, the
Compared to the outgoing model, the beltline has been lowered and a new character line has been added that runs from the front fenders.
Sentra is not a car that provides an inspiring driving experience, but it is aimed at buyers who want value for the dollar and solid fuel economy. In both these categories, the Sentra equates itself well.

Cadillac is rolling out two new colours for its CTS and CTS-V models, including stealth blue (pictured).
Cadillac adds colour to limited-edition models A pair of new performanceinspired, limited-edition models featuring custom paint will join the Cadillac CTS Coupe and V-Series product lines this year. The Silver Frost Edition will be a special run of 100 CTS-V coupes featuring a special lowgloss matte paint finish. The Stealth Blue Edition is a vibrant new color in a more traditional metallic finish and will appear on the CTS Coupe and the high-performance CTS-V in coupe, sedan and wagon body styles. The silver frost matte paint will be on collector-edition vehicles available through select Cadillac dealers across
the country beginning in March. In addition to the 6.2-litre supercharged V9 engine delivering 556 horse power and 551 pound-feet of torque, the Silver Frost CTS-V will offer optional features including yellow or red Brembo brake calipers, high-polished or satin-graphite wheels and suede-covered steering wheels and shift knobs. The desired finish on the Silver Frost CTS-V coupe was achieved by applying a 30-gloss clear coat to the paint, as opposed to the 80-gloss found in standard paint finishes. The paint will still emit a low sparkle when certain lights
reflect off it, but the finish will be distinctly matte. The stealth blue models will have a limited production run starting in March and will be available on the CTS coupe and all CTS-V models. CTS coupe, V coupe and sedan models will also offer an optional “Twilight Blue” leather interior package to go with the blue-grey exterior paint finish. Stealth blue CTS models can also be equipped with multiple performance-inspired details including satin graphite wheels with silver calipers, dark-finish grilles and Recaro performance seats.

Richard Douglas Ross
It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that the family of Gina Caputo announce the sudden passing of their beloved daughter, sister and zia.
Dick is lovingly remembered by his wife Carmen of 29 years; sons Bob, Wayne (Debbie) and Perry (Arlette); daughter Stacey (Dan) Gartner; step-daughter Tracy (Greg) Tutt; grandchildren Brandon and Monty (Dallas) Ross, EvaJean Ross (Trevor), Jessica and Chad Gartner, Tanner and Teagan Tutt; greatgrandchildren Linden and Kallen Ross; sister Pat Johnston and brother Barry Ross; brother-in-law Kerry (Mary) Morrissey and sister-in-law Suzie (Les) Berkes; as well as cousins, nieces and nephews.
Gina was born on February 16, 1957 in Aiello Calabria, Cosenza, Italy. With her parents, brother and sister, she immigrated to Canada in 1963 making Kamloops their future home.
Dick was predeceased by parents Eddie and Isabel Ross; and by sisters Joyce Mitchell and Shirley Ross.
The word “volunteer” is described as ‘doing charitable or helpful work without pay, and performing or offering to perform a service of one’s own free will’. The following is a true testament of Dick’s love for volunteering: Member of the Royal Canadian Legion since 1954; Responsible for the beginning construction of the original Barriere ball park; Was instrumental in organizing the Barriere Maroons Softball Team in 1960 – which he coached; Past-president and ‘Charter’ Member of the Barriere Lions Club; Barriere Ambulance ‘driver’; Organized and was Arena Director the first Fall Fair Rodeo in 1973 – and for every one thereafter; Arena Director for the first Barriere High School Rodeo; President of the first Barriere & District Riding Club; President of the North Thompson Fall Fair & Rodeo Association during which time the large grandstands were built; First President of the B.C. Little Britches Rodeo Association; President of the B.C. High School Rodeo Association; President of the Barriere High School Rodeo Parent Advisory; Director in the B.C. Rodeo Association 1984/85 assisted Carmen in compiling and printing the first B.C. Little Britches Rodeo Rule Book; Charter’ member of the Chu Chua Volunteer Fire Dept and firefighter; In 2000 was voted Rodeo Person of the Year by members of the B.C. Rodeo Association; Represented rodeo committees on the Canadian Bull Riding Association; 2004 Barriere Citizen of the Year Some of his greatest moments in life was coaching his own children, along with many others in the sport of rodeo. Dick had a fierce love for his family, and his community. He could always be counted on to step forward when a volunteer or helping hand was needed. Dick was passionate about what he believed in, enthusiastic about ‘the Cowboy Way’, and embraced the joy of life to its fullest. The Funeral Service and a celebration of Dick’s life will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2013, in the North Thompson Fall Fair Rodeo Arena, in Barriere, at 1 P.M. Cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, if family and friends so choose, donations may be made payable to: Kamloops Hospice Association, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Cr. S., Kamloops, B.C., V2E 2S9. Funeral arrangements entrusted to North Thompson Funeral Services, 4638 Barriere Town Road, Barriere, B.C., V0E 1E0, 250-672-1999, www.NorthThompsonFuneral.com.
In Loving Memory of ADELINA SPINA
Oct. 5, 1945 - Feb. 25, 2006
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
February 26, 2011 Though her smile is gone forever and her hand I cannot touch, I still have so many memories of the one I loved so much. Her memory is now my keepsake which with I’ll never part, God has her in his keeping always in our thoughts forever in our hearts. Sadly missed but never forgotten. Harold, Crystal, Mandy, Mike, Derek, Sean, Seth, Summer, Ella, Landon and many Friends and Relatives.
February 16, 1957 – February 21, 2013
Richard Douglas Ross, born in Dodsland, Saskatchewan, March 12, 1930, passed away on February 18, 2013, in the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, Kamloops, B.C., after a four month battle of post op heart surgery.
Dick was the second of five children born to Eddie and Isabel Ross, and was raised in Flin Flon, Manitoba, where his father was employed by the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Upon graduation, in 1948, Dick moved to British Columbia, and worked for the CNR Signal Department from Boston Bar to Jasper. Dick joined the Army in Lytton in 1950. He spent two years with the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) forces in Hanover, Germany, in the RCEME (Royal Canadian Electrical & Mechanical Engineers). He returned home in 1952, and joined back up with the CNR Signal Department. In 1959 he was promoted to Signal Maintainer for Lucerne, Albreda, and Barriere; a position he held until his retirement in 1986. Soon after Dick found out that retirement was for “older” people, and he talked Carmen into moving north of Chu Chua where they managed a cow/calf operation for a number of years. During those years Dick also obtained his Class 3 drivers license, and drove school bus for several years on the Chu Chua and McLure route. After yet another retirement; Dick soon found himself employed by Inmet Mining Company (Minnova Mine) at Johnson Lake. He had gone up for a “couple of weeks” to help a friend from Peachland while they were dismantling the plant and ended up staying for nine years. He became the Plant Supervisor, and retired for the final time in August of 2004. Anyone who knew Dick, also knew that his retirement meant having the opportunity to spend the majority of his waking moments doing what he most loved to do – since 1959, until his passing – Dick was dedicated to the continuation and improvement of the North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo grounds.

LUIGINA (GINA) CAPUTO
We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too. We think of you in silence We often speak your name All we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake With which we'll never part God has you in his keeping We have you in our hearts. Love, Your family
Catherine Annie (Kitty) Macdonald
Gina earned her angel wings and is now joining her mother Fiorina, grandparents Giovanni and Rosina, Pietro and Anna, her cousin Rosa, aunts Maria, Concetta, Guiseppina and Eugenia and uncles Luigi and Tony. She is survived by her father Alfredo, her brother Peter (Loridana), sisters Anna (Greg Harrison) and Rosie (Walt Kirschner). Also mourning her passing are her “Lovies”: Clayton and Christina Harrison and Kyla, Brendan and Lukas Kirschner as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends. Co-owner of Genesis Fashion and Beauty Complex as well as Principessa Parties, Gina was a passionate business woman with over 30 years as a hair stylist. Her life was enriched by the numerous clients who also became her trusted friends. Her community involvement and the legacy she has left with her incredible generosity, dedication and commitment includes the Downtown Business Association, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, the Can-Ital Ladies Society, and the Kamloops West Rotary Club. Known as our “Queen”, Gina’s world revolved around her family especially during those special times of the year when we all sat around her beautifully themed dining room table and enjoyed her amazing cuisine. We will all especially remember “Queen Gina” because of her spirited personality, charismatic character and her flare for the fashion and style that she modeled on a daily basis whether at work, in the community or at home. The Reverend Father Peter Nguyen and The Reverend Father Paul Simms will celebrate the Funeral Mass of Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 11:00 am in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 635 Tranquille Road. Following the Mass, there will be a celebration of Gina’s life at the OLPH Parish Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 1589 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 5Y7 would be appreciated in her memory.

On Sunday, January 6, 2013 Mrs. Catherine Annie (Kitty) Macdonald of Sherwood Park, AB passed away at the age of 91. Catherine lived for many years in Kamloops, before moving closer to family in Sherwood Park. She is survived by her daughter Jane of Tobago: son Ian (Carrie) of Toronto; James (Robyn) of Australia and Bruce (Heather) of Sherwood Park as well as 9 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren and a great-great grandson. Her ashes will be interred in New Brunswick beside her husband George later this year.
Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman
