BABY, YOU’VE CHANGED!
TUESDAY
Eight-month-old Summer Meger and 34 other babies (and their parents) took part in the fourth annual multi-city attempt to set a Guinness World Record for most babies being changed into cloth diapers at on time. The Saturday, April 20, event was held at the Southwest Community Church in Sahali. The gathering at the church comprised one of 285 groups in 17 countries who participated in the mass diaper-changing event, created to raise the profile of cloth diapers, which produce less waste and are seen by some parents as a more natural solution than their disposable counterparts.

Advisory group wants federal review on Ajax By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
They were meant to provide community input during the environmental-assessment process for the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. But, after 15 months of meetings, members of a government-appointed community-advisory group are calling for a complete revamp of the way mines are approved in B.C. “The environmental process is not set up to deal with a mine that’s going to be placed inside a city — or, at least partially inside a city — and those flaws in the process are glaring,” said Dr. Twila Burgmann, a gastroenterologist who is a member of the advisory group on behalf of the
Aberdeen Community Association. Members of the group, whose meetings are typically held behind closed doors, released a joint statement on Monday, April 22, airing concerns about the review process. The group also called on the federal government to appoint a review panel for the project. Reading from a prepared statement, member Gina Morris said because the application-information requirements Ajax will be asked to meet have changed so much since the last public comment session over a year ago, the group asked for another round of community input. The environmentalassessment office rejected the request.
Group member John Schleiermacher, who represents the Thompson Watershed Coalition, said the public needs to know there are issues Ajax’s proponents won’t be required to address to receive an environmental certificate. Members of the community-advisory group are bound by a confidentiality agreement, which limits what specifics they can discuss, Schleiermacher said, noting gaps in the requirements are numerous. “There were 1,465 items that were put through what they call the tracking table and, when I see the latest revision — which is the F, so it’s been revised many times — I don’t see those addressed.” One concern, mentioned in a letter the

group sent to federal Environment Minister Peter Kent last week is that a health assessment on the mine may not factor in all the metals found in rock at the mine site. Burgmann said that’s not her only issue with the health assessment, which she wants to see done independently, rather than by KGHM. “One of the big concerns of Kamloopsians is our health and, if that’s not being addressed
properly, you can imagine the other concerns we have that are also not being addressed properly,” she said. Burgmann said the environmental-assessment office hasn’t given the group much explanation as to why some of its concerns aren’t appearing on the list of issues Ajax must address. “It’s a process, that’s all we’re told. Wait for the final draft, that’s also what we’re told,” she said.
Schleiermacher said the group has lost confidence in the province’s assessment process and wants to see Ajax held to the higher standard of a panel review. While the federal government has in the past opted not to give the project that level of scrutiny, Schleiermacher hopes it will reconsider. An Environment Canada staffer told KTW the ministry would follow up on the group’s letter. Kamloops-North
Thompson MLA and provincial Environment Minister Terry Lake believes the assessment process for Ajax is up to standard, opining that the group’s decision to call a press conference “seems more like a political stunt.” Lake said the group should be working with the environmental-assessment office to address its concerns. “Confrontation isn’t a way to improve the process, I don’t think,” he said. Lake said the group’s timing — in the middle of a provincial election campaign — is concerning. “We have to be careful that we’re not just having people that are against the mine fundamentally and then using this as a way to discredit the process,” he said.

Dix vows to scrap Pacific Carbon Trust, ban cosmetic-pesticide use NDP Leader Adrian Dix was in Kamloops yesterday (April 22), where he announced his intention to dissolve the Pacific Carbon Trust and place its measurement and monitoring functions in the Climate Action
Secretariat, if his party forms government on May 14. Dix also restated the NDP’s opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline and plans to maintain a moratorium on offshore oil exploration,
drilling and tankers on the North Coast. In addition, Dix said a provincewide ban on cosmetic-pesticide use would be part of his government’s action.
Ignition off Meanwhile, John
Cummins, leader of the Conservatives, said yesterday his government will eliminate the Clean Energy Vehicles program, which includes a $5,000 subsidy off the purchase price of plug-in hybridelectric cars.

TODAY: TOM FRIEDMAN, B.C. NDP, KAMLOOPS-SOUTH THOMPSON
These shoes are meant for walking By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Andrea Klassen/KTW
Regardless of the outcome on election night, Tom Friedman will have achieved one thing during the campaign — a good workout. “I had to buy a new pair of shoes,� the B.C. NDP’s Kamloops-South Thompson candidate says. “The old ones were wearing out. It’s a lot of walking and a lot of talking.� In an interview with KTW, Friedman put his household visits in Kamloops at about 5,000. But, that was last week and another trip up the hill to Aberdeen was already on the agenda. A professor of Canadian literature and film at Thompson Rivers University, Friedman first got a taste for politics while heading up the faculty association as the school transitioned from the University College of the Cariboo to its current iteration. Already a lifelong NDP supporter, Friedman says when the party approached him about running as a candidate, it was the experience at TRU that gave him
the confidence he would have the skills to succeed as an MLA. “Academics are the most diverse group out there,� he says. “They have so many different opinions on things.� In a riding where the incumbent MLA is stepping down, where most every candidate has laid claim to the underdog status — for reasons of polls, finances or party novelty — Friedman has, at least, had the advantage in terms of time. While most candidates earned their nomination papers in the back half of 2012, Friedman has been on the ticket for the NDP since the summer of 2011. Besides that, he first announced his plans to run in 2009, on the same night the province’s last general election campaign was wrapping up. Of course, that was the same night now-retiring KamloopsSouth Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger bested Friedman by about 4,500 votes. However, it was before the HST referendum that killed the tax, before Gordon Campbell’s departure and before Christy Clark’s installation as B.C.’s new premier.
Since his last election defeat, Friedman believes the ground in Kamloops-South has shifted. “I found there was a lot of positive response to me as a candidate in ‘09,� Friedman says. “It’s just the party was not seen as the way to go at that time. Now, I think there’s a really different movement. “I was out last night in Valleyview and Valleyview has never been really traditional NDP territory,� he says. “So many said, ‘We need a change.’� Even so, Friedman thinks the campaign is yet to be decided and will hinge on which candidate can hit the most doorsteps, talk directly to the largest number of voters and wear out the most pairs of shoes. “You have to be up front with them and tell them the truth and make sure there are no surprises,� he says. “I think that’s the secret to electoral success. We’re taking the hard road to victory. It involves a lot of time and a lot of effort.� The first 20-plus months were a warm-up. It all comes down to the last 20-some days and the ground game.
KTW Q&A: The lighter side of Tom Friedman and his hot time in Israel KTW: What is your favourite movie?: FRIEDMAN: “I really like the director Stanley Kubrick and 2001: A Space Odyssey is probably my favourite. I’ve seen it about 10 times now and, every time I see it, there’s something new and something wonderful.� KTW: What’s the last book you read?
FRIEDMAN: “I re-read, for about the sixth time, Margaret Lawrence’s The Stone Angel. I think it’s a great example of classic Canadiana.� KTW: What is one interesting fact most voters don’t know about you? FRIEDMAN: “When I was 18 years old, I spent a year on a kibbutz in Israel
in the cotton fields. That was interesting, because I went there in April, it was about 45 degrees Celsius and this is the Jordan Valley. It was just brutal — but, at 18 you can handle it.� KTW: Who is your favourite Canadian author? FRIEDMAN: “Michael Ondaatje. He’s the
most inventive, creative writer today. I just taught The English Patient again for the third time and I think he’s a wonderful writer.� KTW: When you were in university, what was your worst subject? FRIEDMAN: “I had a course in genetics and, let’s put it this way, I didn’t do as well in the course as I did in history and
English courses. It’s ironic because my wife teaches genetics at TRU.� KTW: When it comes to films, do you go for subtitles or no subtitles? FRIEDMAN: “I don’t mind subtitles. I think it’s really rewarding not to shut yourself off from foreign films just because there’s a bit of a challenge with subtitles.�

Look up! Something is rising downtown By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
At 12 storeys, a new highrise planned for the 100-block of Victoria Street in downtown Kamloops could become one of downtown’s taller buildings. Total Concept Developments, owned by Casey VanDongen, is in early-stage discussions with the city about the condo project, planned for a vacant lot at 127 Victoria St. “We want to target the downtown working professional,� said Total Concept manager Sheila Minten.
“There seems to be a lot of interest from people who want to live and work downtown,� she said. “There’s a lot of interest and the age range really varies and the state of people’s lives. “The one consistent thing is it’s all downtown working professionals. That’s who really wants to be downtown.� Minten said the project would include about 78 units, with styles that would target older buyers looking to downsize and less-established first-time homeowners. “What we want to do with
this one is do finishing similar in quality to Library Square and Harrison [View], not necessarily in the look, but then offer really good upgrade options,� Minten said. “So, if people want hardwood they can have it, but, if they can’t afford that yet because that’s not the stage they’re at, they can still afford to be downtown.� Minten said the city seems supportive of the plan so far, though issues of parking and other details are still being worked out. City of Kamloops planning
and development manager Randy Lambright said there isn’t a target date to get the company’s development-permit application before city council yet, but the process usually takes about six weeks from submission. If the process goes smoothly, Minten said the company hopes to have shovels in the ground this summer. Minten expects sales of the units will be brisk. “I’m really excited for it because we haven’t had anything downtown in a long time that’s really right in the core,� she said. “There’s been stuff on the

It has taken eight years of discussion between the KamloopsThompson school district and provincial officials, but the trades and technology centre at NorKam secondary finally appears to have been given the green light. “We’re doing it,� KamloopsNorth Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake told KTW, announcing $6.3 million in provincial funding to go along with another $1.1 million promised by SD73. “Given the obvious need for increased trades training, combined with the fact we’ve seen our

The existing music room will be replaced and a common area created for students at the trades centre and the secondary school.

It will also include instruction
and silviculture technology, energy-efficient building technology, refrigeration and air-conditioning, and power-systems engineering. In its capital plan, School District 73 set as goals for the centre: • Providing retraining opportunities for workers displaced from the forestry sector; • Providing expanded opportunities for aboriginal skilled-trades and technology training; • Providing enhanced access to career transitions for students; • Improving retention and completion rates of students; and • Providing employable skill sets for at-risk students.

LOCAL NEWS Const. Meg Grainger (left) and Special Olympians Peter Donovan and Marilee Manning. Dave Eagles/KTW
Torch Run open to all By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
With Kamloops set to host the 2015 Special Olympics Winter Games, local athletes and organizers are looking to add more snow-related sports to their roster. First, though, it’s all about the simple act of walking or running as they gear up for the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a major fundraiser for the provincial organization. Special Olympians like Peter Donovan and Marilee Manning will take part in the June 9 event, joining the lawenforcement, legal, justice and general-public runners and walkers who will be taking part in the event. The goal, said run organizer Const. Meg Grainger, is to have local Special Olympics athletes run the last kilometre of the route that is keyed on the theme Bridging the Gap.
The route, broken up into five- and 12-kilometre stretches, starts at Riverside Park, heads across Overlanders Bridge, down Schubert Drive and up to the Halston Bridge, across it and through Tk’emlups Indian Band land to the Red Bridge and then back to the park. Unlike past years, when the run has been largely dedicated to lawenforcement participation, organizers decided to open it up this year, inviting their colleagues from the local fisheries, probation and parole offices to take part. “This run is not just raising money, but raising awareness,” Grainger said. There are about 130 local special-needs children, youth and adults involved in the program, taking part in sports including bowling, swimming, softball, T-ball, bocce, soccer, curling and floor hockey.
Basketball was added this year and plans are to try to bring in more winter sports next year, although cost is an issue because the equipment needed for many of the sports is expensive. The money goes to continue to support programs and to assist athletes who progress from local competition through to other levels. Donovan and Manning, for example, will be at the Summer Games in Langley in July after qualifying at the regional level. Manning has also been nominated for an award given by the Special Olympics B.C. for her 30 years of competing. Donovan has been involved for 15 years. Registration for the run is $50 for adults, $30 for those 18 and younger and can be done online at sobckamloops.org. Pledge forms and other information is also
available at that website. Registration includes a dri-fit T-shirt.

Kirpans now allowed in court By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Following the lead of Ontario and Alberta, the B.C. government will now allow Sikhs to wear kirpans — small daggers or swords — into public areas of courthouses. The policy change, which went into effect on April 12, comes with several conditions, however, including advising courthouse sheriffs they have the kirpan in its cloth holder under their clothes, showing proof they are a Sikh, asserting they practise their religion and explaining why they must be in the courthouse. The sheriff’s office staff will conduct a risk assessment and can allow or refuse a kirpan-carrying Sikh to remain. For Kamloops lawyer Bill Sundhu, the change and the precautions attached equal “a good balancing act. “It’s not a blanket thing, but there is a balancing of safety and the dignity of an orthodox Sikh to practise his religion,” Sundhu said. Sundhu, a non-practising Sikh, said the kirpan is one of the articles of the faith.
It is considered a symbol of standing against justice. Sundhu said the decision by the three provinces flows from a Montreal situation that eventually was ruled on by the Supreme Court of Canada. It involved a 12-year-old practising Sikh student at an elementary school in Montreal who, in 2001, was outside playing in the schoolyard when his kirpan fell out of its cloth holder. A mother saw it, complained the child had a weapon and the student was told he could no longer wear his kirpan in its bag under his clothing. Five years later, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled banning the kirpan in school for practising Sikhs violates the Charter of Rights. Sundhu said the decision was good because it not only reinforces the charter right to practise one’s religion, but stands as a lesson to society on the value of that freedom. “And, in a broader context, we live in a society changing rapidly and there’s lack of understanding,” he said. “We need to have greater understanding and tolerance.”

Oops! Mountie fined for using disabled parking spot A Mountie with the Central Interior Traffic Services division will be a tad lighter in the wallet after being fined for parking his marked RCMP cruiser in a handicapped spot in Kamloops. The prohibited parking procedure took place on Wednesday, April 17 in the Kamloops area, according to Staff Sgt. Terry McLachlan of the RCMP’s Southeast District Traffic Services.
The division was notified of the infraction on Friday, April 19, and investigated. McLachlan said the probe found the officer was not on an emergency call when parking the marked cruiser in a stall reserved for those with disabilities. “Given the circumstances that have been confirmed, the member is being issued with the applicable parking-violation ticket, along with
receiving the appropriate corrective guidance,” McLachlan said. “The member will be spoken to in order to ensure that a shortsighted decision such as the one made regarding proper parking practices does not re-occur.” The Central Interior Traffic Services detachment of the RCMP is located at 1280 TransCanada Hwy.

In November 2012, a police officer in Camden, N.J., was suspended without pay for four days for parking his cruiser in a handicap stall. In August 2011, a police officer in Woodstock, Ont., got off with a warning for the same infraction.

In this campaign, B.C. Liberals are running — scared This is the third in a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election. HE B.C. LIBERAL PARTY deserves credit for releasing its policy book in full on the eve of the formal election campaign. That’s about the only positive thing to be said about it. For those who take the time to read party leader Christy Clark’s 40-page booklet, there are a few nuggets of news. For instance, a re-elected B.C. Liberal government would continue its justice-reform agenda by moving traffic-ticket disputes out of courtrooms, as they did with impaireddriving cases. Most of it consists of glowing descriptions of the government’s 12-year record and attacks on the NDP of the kind that are not normally seen in a platform. This is consistent with Clark’s style since she was anointed party leader two years ago. The main focus, as revealed in February’s throne speech, is a plan to pay off B.C.’s growing debt and perhaps even get rid of the provincial sales tax with an Alberta-style prosperity fund from liquefied natural-gas exports. Whether this is from imposing a new export tax on LNG or simply from a windfall of gas royalties is not clear. Clark and her energy minister contradicted each other on that when it was announced and the platform
T
TOM FLETCHER Our Man in
VICTORIA doesn’t shed any new light. All we have is a big logo on the side of Clark’s campaign bus declaring “DEBT FREE B.C.” As I’ve written before, there is plenty of real evidence of a huge new LNG industry in the making. As for paying off the $60-billion debt the B.C. Liberals’ pre-election budget predicts will keep growing, cartoonist Adrian Raeside summed it up best: LNG revenues are “Christy Clark’s invisible friend.” Clark finished up last week with stops in Terrace and Prince Rupert, promising an LNG windfall for local governments. She repeated the platform’s attack line that the NDP is going to wreck the trillion-dollar LNG boom with a Quebec-style moratorium on fracking to extract gas from deep shale formations. That’s not an outright lie, but it’s almost as speculative as Clark’s notions of a 30-year windfall that could at best barely start during the next four-year term. The NDP is not calling for a mor-
atorium on natural-gas production. It is calling for yet another review, one of many vague, wobbly positions that have been adopted by both dominant parties. An earlier premier named Glen Clark became famous for freezing things like ferry fares and auto-insurance rates. Now Christy Clark is freezing personal income-tax rates for five years — and carbon-tax rates, too. That implies she’s planning to win this election and the next one, at a time when it is unclear whether she can even hold her own seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. The B.C. Liberals will cut smallbusiness taxes by a point some time in the next five years. They will also increase income tax on large businesses and personal income of more than $150,000, but that’s not mentioned in their platform, since it goes against 12 years of their policy as a government. • A clarification of last week’s column on the B.C. Conservative platform. Leader John Cummins informs me his plan to phase out the carbon tax does not include reversing the personal and business income-tax rate reductions that were legislated as the fuel tax reached its current level. The platform asserts total provincial revenues will continue to rise in the next four years, despite the uncompensated loss of $1 billion from the carbon tax.

The 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, that’s said during every election campaign — to no avail. In the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will things be any different this year? It’s hard to say. Is it negative advertising that turns people off? Some politicians say so and promise a more positive campaign. Will that end indifference or will people turn away from boredom? Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. Why? Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. Clearly there is a disconnect and the media may have contributed to this malaise by blowing every little incident out of proportion. As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, many voters simply tune out after a while, yet, sadly, when there is a real issue, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special-interest groups — business, unions, lobbyists — to hijack the results. The truth is politicians will only be accountable if held accountable. The public has a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised, so voters need to pay attention to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are.

There are also election-related stories on myriad issues in today’s edition of KTW, online at kamloopsthisweek.com and in other Kamloops news publications. Read up. Talk to the candidates.

Re: Story: ‘Devastating’ attack takes its toll on kin: “From Mike’s relatives in Aberdeen, Scotland, I would like to thank the medical staff at Kamloops hospital for their dedication and professionalism. “Those following Michael on Facebook have been very impressed with his treatment and will be forever grateful.” — posted by Ron Falconer

Here’s why cynicism exists Editor: Re: Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake’s letter of April 9 (‘Bass column denigrates hard-working politicians’): Lake’s letter helps explain KTW columnist Dale Bass’s cynicism regarding politicians. Lake used Bass’s column as an opportunity to toot his and Kevin Krueger’s horns while neglecting to list the backfires in which he and Krueger have participated. There was the silence when $6 million of taxpayer dollars was used to end court proceedings in the Basi-
Virk BC Rail case before cabinet ministers were to testify under oath. There was the silence while more than $15 million was spent on promoting the B.C. Liberal government instead of supporting home and community care for seniors and postsecondary education. Lake’s bind obedience and failure to speak out against Premier Christy Clark’s misuse of taxpayer dollars is exactly the kind of complicity that led to Bass’s column.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree With credit comes responsibility
Editor: Re: Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake’s letter of April 9 (‘Bass column denigrates hard-working politicians’): Bass has a deep sense of cynicism. Politicians have a high sense of hubris and self-importance. Take Lake’s letter. Politicians are given credit for the hospital, the university, sporting facilities, the water-treatment plant — pretty much everything. Well, what about the taxpayers who paid for them? What about the workers who built them? What about the citizens with the vision and courage to have made the proposals? The only credit is given to politicians. Lake claims credit, but what about
Russ Mackie Kamloops
responsibility? What about the HST? Will Lake accept responsibility for treating voters like knuckle-dragging Neanderthals by not even trying to present the case? For me, all voters have ample reason for deep cynicism regarding politicians. In a free and democratic society, anyone should have the freedom to express an opinion beyond the party line. If Lake really wants a provocative idea, here’s one: In a free and democratic society, the voting system should allow voters the freedom of wider political choice and politicians should be free from the yoke of party discipline in order to truly represent their constituents.

Nice Road Trucker ‘breath of fresh air’ Editor: Thank you for the March 28 article on Gary Webber (‘Nice Road Trucker’). I don’t know him personally, but I do know it is true when he said he helped hurting people when he shared the gospel with them. Many years ago, someone like Webber told me about Christ when I was going through a severe trial — and Jesus Christ
brought healing and hope to me, changing my life. In contrast to the usual news about protests, fraud, robberies and nuclear threat, how appropriate on Easter weekend to publish that inspiring article about Webber and place a photo of his truck and cross on the front page. It was a breath of fresh air. Margaret Weaver Kamloops
Editor: Liberal Party of Canada Leader Justin Trudeau’s suggestion that we need to look at the root problems of the recent bomb attacks in Boston is quite possibly the most irresponsible absurd statement that a politician has made since Jean Chretien hinted at the possibility the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were the result of Western arrogance and the continued gap between the haves and the have-nots in the world. Whether the bombings were the work of al-Qaeda or some local nutcase is irrelevant. It is by definition, without any question, an act of terror. Yes, I suppose at some point we may want to try to be proactive in trying to secure the safety of innocent people, including women and children, from these radical nut jobs, but the timing of these types of irresponsible comments are an embarrassment to this country. I wonder what the families of the victims think about these absurd sentiments from their friend and neighbour to the north. “Listen, sir, I understand and I am very sorry that you lost your boy, your daughter had her leg amputated and your wife has a major brain injury, but it’s very possible the perpetrators of these heinous acts are just poor, misunderstood victims of our own system and likely had bad childhoods. What they need is some love.” This makes me embarrassed as a Canadian citizen. But, we shouldn’t be too surprised as, back in the mid-1970s, our leaders of the day decided, against popular opinion, that Canada should abolish the death penalty. They also ruled there would be no such thing as a life sentence in our great country, regardless of how evil the crime. Everyone sentenced to life is eligible to apply for parole after 10, 15 or 25 years — and there would be no consecutive terms. The political leader who was behind these socialist bleeding-heart decisions? Pierre Trudeau. What is that we say about the apple and the tree? Brent Arnason Kamloops

VOLUNTEER WEEK
The Canadian government honours volunteers On the occasion of the 71st annual National Volunteer Week (April 21 to 27), Diane Finley, minister of human resources and skills development, is paying tribute to the millions of Canadians who volunteer across the country every year. “As the minister responsible for volunteerism, I applaud the commitment of countless Canadian volunteers who give so generously of their time and who have made a difference in improving the well-being of families and their communities,” Finley said. “It is so important that we take a moment to pause during National Volunteer Week and thank those who dedicate themselves to making this country a better place in which to live.” Volunteerism improves the quality of life of many, building stronger social networks and strengthening intergenerational relations. According to the Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, each year, over 13-million Canadians volunteer more than over two-billion hours of their time to help others. In order to further recognize the outstanding voluntary contributions made in Canada, the government introduced the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards. Canadians can show appreciation for exceptional volunteers within their communities by nominating them for one of the 17 awards. The second call for nominations closed on April 15. More informa-
tion about the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards, including the first award recipients, can be found at pm.gc. ca/awards or facebook. com/PrixduPMAwards. National Volunteer Week is the largest celebration of citizen participation in Canada. As part of many events taking place throughout the week, Finley and other officials will participate in a reception on Parliament Hill.
National Volunteer Week National Volunteer Week pays tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers who donate their time and talents to our communities. This special event began in 1943 to draw attention to the vital contribution women made to the war effort on the home front. Although this week was largely forgotten
after the war ended, it experienced a revival in the late 1960s, when organizations stressed the importance of thanking volunteers across Canada. National Volunteer Week was reinstated and has since grown to become the largest celebration of civic participation in Canada. Now in its 71st year, this annual event is all about volunteer recognition. This year’s celebra-
tion is taking place the week of April 21 to April 27.
The federal government is committed to recognizing the
enormous contribution volunteers make to Canada.
Open your eyes and look for some man, or some work for the sake of men, which needs a little time, a little friendship, a little sympathy, a little sociability, a little human toil. Search and see if there is not a place where you may invest your humanity. Do not be satisfied without some sideline in which you may give yourself out as a man to men! ––Albert Schweitzer.

VOLUNTEER WEEK
Volunteer with the Canadian Red Cross The Canadian Red Cross celebrates National Volunteer Week and thanks the more than 22,000 volunteers who deliver programs and services across the country. In British Columbia, volunteers actively help people in need by providing services such as disaster relief and recovery, healthequipment loans, violence and abuse prevention education, injury-prevention training, supporting families with children in B.C. Children’s Hospital and promoting humanitarian issues. “After I took an early retirement, I wanted to find a hands-on way to do volunteer work,” said Joanne McKechnie, a Red Cross disastermanagement volunteer. “I find volunteering with the Canadian Red Cross to be a very meaningful way to serve.” McKechnie, a retired population-health specialist, has volunteered with Red Cross for more than five years. When she’s not donating her time to the Red Cross, McKechnie spends quality time with her three grandchildren and also works as a glass artist, creating functional and artistic glassware out of her studio in Kelowna. “Volunteers are the backbone of the Red Cross and serve at all levels of the organization,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Canadian Red Cross director for B.C. and the Yukon, “I am continually impressed by the dedication and compassion of our volunteers, as well as the skills and experience they bring to the Red Cross. “We are very fortunate to have so many high-calibre volunteers providing leadership and service — we would not be able to help so many people in need without them.” As the world’s largest humanitarian movement, the Red Cross/ Red Crescent has close to 100-million volunteers in 187 countries around the world. Canadian Red Cross
volunteers have worked as part of this move-
ment for more than 100 years and continue to
provide communitybased services and assistance, while also supporting the larger international movement

‘Voting is kind of a precious thing’ X From A5
What emerged was a civics lesson by a jacketless Dix, shirtsleeves rolled up and orange tie firmly in place. Noting the presence of Indonesian exchange students, Dix talked about the differences between government systems there and in Canada and then segued into a comparison of the cost he faced when he went to university — $800 a year — and what highschool students could face after they graduate. From there, Dix moved on to jobs and the need to save the environment, each step in the lesson including — but not dominated by — planks from his party’s election platform. Dix praised Reid and the students. “Voting is kind of a precious thing, but a lot of people think it doesn’t matter,” he said. It was then time for questions from the students, where the topics included the proposed Ajax mine, mining in general, the proposed Enbridge pipeline and the provincial debt. Grade 11 student Flora Desir asked Dix why he thinks he would be a good premier. He told her he may not be the smartest politician or the best orator, but “I learn from people . . . and I want to make people feel it’s their government again.” Danielle Knauff, also in Grade 11, asked Dix what he would do about the provincial debt.
In response, Dix focused the answer on education, noting “you only get to go to high school once, so we need to make sure you get the highest education possible.” As for the debt, Dix suggested his government would have different priorities than spending $550 million on a retractable ceiling at a sports venue in Vancouver, referring to the BC Place Stadium retrofit. To Grade 12 student Jake Wilson’s question about the proposed Enbridge pipeline, Dix responded with a review of the process now underway and his belief British Columbians, not the federal government, should have final say on the project. Flora and Danielle said afterward the opportunity was welcome and they would have liked for Dix to have stayed longer so they could asked more questions. Just sitting next to local NDP candidates Kathy Kendall and Tom Friedman was exciting for Flora, who noted Kendall had called her home last week as part of her campaigning. “And there I was talking to her,” Flora said. “I was excited by it.” Danielle said she was glad to know the NDP has proposed a voting pre-registration option for those 16 and 17 to start and engage them in the process. Reid said plans are to bring in other candidates to talk to the students as they prepare for their mock vote on May 13.

Critical Illness Insurance... Is it Worth It? A critical illness can happen to anyone and everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with a critical illness – cancer, heart attack or stroke. We all think that this won’t happen to us! The Canadian Cancer Society will tell you that one in four Canadians are expected to die from cancer and that cancer is the leading cause of premature death in this country. 3,075 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every week, there are 70,000 heart attacks and between 40,000 to 50,000 strokes annually. These statistics are frightening, as are the costs related to these critical illnesses. In recent years, medical advances have led to increased life expectancy and the ability to recover from various illnesses. Thanks to these advances, you’re much more likely to suffer a critical illness and live, then you are to die suddenly – which means financial hardship is likely what will be left behind.

It wasn’t just Kamloops city councillors who spent more than the usual amount of time in 2012 dealing with dogs. According to a year-end report from the city’s department of corporate services and community safety, bylaw officers were called to deal with dog issues far more often than the previous year. Dog-bite calls rose by 33 per cent, to 40 from 30, and complaints about the number of dogs being kept at a property — two
So, critical illness insurance – is it worth it?

Your critical illness insurance can be used to pay your mortgage; look after your family or pay for those medical costs incurred that may not be covered by the government or by your employment health benefits. Yes, it is definitely worth it!

CHAMBERLAND John J. Chamberland, aged 85 years, passed away peacefully with his family at his side, on April 15th, 2013. His struggle with COPD was finally finished. Lovingly remembered by his wife of 64 years, Elenore, his son James (Heather), daughter Janet (Cecil Tarasoff) and grandchildren, Ian, Whitney, Mackenzie, Zachary, and Logan. John was born in Big River SK. in 1927, the 7th of 11 children to Alonzo and Angelique Chamberland. Dad was the last surviving member of his immediate family. He moved out to BC to join his parents in Port Alberni in 1946. Good fortune smiled on Dad in 1947 and when he invited Mom to join him for a cup of coffee, since she knew not to ask for a doughnut as coffee was a nickel and all he had was a dime. After Dad and Mom where married in 1949, they began a life of going where ever the work was available. John was a life long mechanic and worked many jobs throughout northern B.C. as a heavy duty mechanic, working largely on road construction through the 1950’s and 60’s. 1957 saw Dad and Mom living in Kelowna while Dad worked on the floating bridge. While working for Bregoliss Construction, Dad worked on the crews that installed the original ski lifts into many of the BC ski hills, including the Burfield at Todd Mountain. The last large project Dad was involved in was the creation of the Lafarge Cement site out in Dallas. After that, Dad and his brother started Rollies Truck and Tractor where Dad worked and held court until his retirement in 1987.
NOER David Darrel January 24, 1961 – April 10, 2013
David was born in Kamloops B.C. and lived with his parents and siblings in Clearwater until age 5. Following his mother’s passing, David moved to Kamloops and was cared for by Irene Crowson and her husband until the age of 18. In April 1994, he moved to Interior Community Services Centennial House which he called home for the past 19 years. David was an active volunteer with the SPCA for 22 years and received the Provincial Volunteer of the Year award in 2002. He also actively participated in Special Olympics, volunteered at the Kamloops Food Bank, held a position as a board member for the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Association for the Mentally Ill, cleaned the streets of Tranquille 3 days a week as well as the Northills Mall bus loop through his employment at Smart Options. He will be fondly remembered for his ready smile and contagious giggle. His kind and generous spirit touched all who knew him…especially his soul mate Ann Marie. David was predeceased by his mother Mary Barbara (Jean) brothers John and Louis, and sisters Phyllis and Darlene. He is survived by his father Victor as well as his three sisters Rose, Cindy and Jeannie. He also leaves behind his Niece Becky (Jeff) and Great Nephew’s, Braden and Luke. Also feeling his loss are his Uncles Mel, Vic and Walter as well as his cousin Mike.
Dad’s latter years have been spent holding court with his coffee buddies and swapping stories of a very interesting life. Dad loved a good argument and would pick whichever side you were not! He did not suffer fools lightly, but would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Dad was from a long line of blacksmiths and mechanics, He never watched a clock and worked until a job was done whether for himself or an employer. He was devoted to us and tried to protect us to the end. We will love him and there will be a large hole in our hearts that will fill with our memories of him and his life stories. Job well done, Dad.
He was Dearly Loved by his family and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Royal Inland Foundation or BC Special Olympics greatly appreciated

March 31, 1943 – April 15, 2013
It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of David at the age of 52.
After a long 10 year wait, James was born in Pouce Coupe, BC, then in 1962 Dad and Mom settled in Kamloops where Janet was born. Once the grandchildren started arriving, Dad hung up his wrenches and grabbed a fishing pole. Traveling Canada, Dad and Mom managed to visit the birthplaces of 400 years of his French Canadian family history and to revisit the places of their early marriage.
The family would like to thank Dr.Paul Farrell for many years of caring for Dad, as well as the nurses and staff at Royal Inland Hospital. There will be no funeral by John’s request.

If I Knew If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today.

Blazers, down 2-0, need more from big guns By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
D
IGGER BETTER GET HIS SHOVEL. The Kamloops Blazers are in a hole. Head coach Guy Charron was in a talkative mood when KTW caught up with him, his squad down 2-0 in the Western Conference final, with Game 3 against the Portland Winterhawks
slated for tonight (April 23) at 7 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre. The suggestion his team in Games 1 and 2 did not contain the Winterhawks’ powerhouse first line, in particular, got the conversation rolling. “By saying that,” Charron said with a touch of disdain for the proposal, “you have to make a comparison. It’s not about shutting down a line.
“It’s their best players versus our best players. Their top guys are on the scorecard. Our top guys are not.” Kamloops suffered a pair of weekend losses in Portland — 4-1 on Friday, April 19, and 4-0 on Saturday, April 20. The Rose City squad’s first unit — Nicolas Petan, Ty Rattie and Brendan Leipsic — combined for 13 points, while the Blazers’ big guns
were pointless. Colin Smith, Brendan Ranford, JC Lipon, Kale Kessy, Matt Needham, Cole Ully, Tim Bozon and Dylan Willick. It’s goose eggs across the board through two games. In fact, fourth-line fixture Joe Kornelsen is the only player with a point — a goal registered two minutes into Game 1. “It’s their best players and our best play-
ers and they find ways to produce. That’s how you analyze it,” Charron said. “If you look at the scoring chances, we had 37 and they had 44. It’s not like we’re being dominated, but how do we get to capitalize and build momentum for our team? That’s from scoring. “We need something to get us feeling good about ourselves. Now there’s nothing to
feel good about.” Perhaps the Blazers can feel good, in some weird way, about being in a 2-0 hole. Charron has said on multiple occasions his charges play their best hockey when their backs are against the wall. (See last season’s West semifinal). That is most certainly the case now. Kamloops is 0-for10 on the power play. Portland is 3-for-11. Mac Carruth has
been excellent in net for the Winterhawks, not only inside the crease, but in thwarting the Blazers’ dumpand-chase attempts with skilled puckhandling. The Winterhawks’ D-core has been as advertised: Impressive in its own zone and dangerous inside the Kamloops blue line. Charron said his team is not working hard enough. X See CHARRON A17

Chevy remembers grandpa By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
Kamloops Blazers’ netminder Cole Cheveldave is doing his best to put his grandpa’s death in the back of his mind, with his team counting on him to perform against the Portland Winterhawks. KTW file photo
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Cole Cheveldave last week etched another pair of initials onto his goalie stick. G.P. stands for George Poulos, Cheveldave’s grandpa, who was 87 when he died on April 8. “We lived on the same parcel of land for almost my whole life, so it’s pretty emotional,� said Cheveldave, the Kamloops Blazers’ netminder. “One thing my mom wanted me to do is just keep on smiling. That’s pretty much what I’m doing.� Thanks to the Blazers’ sweep of the Kelowna Rockets in Round 2, Cheveldave was able to attend the funeral in Calgary on April 15. J.C. — for John Cheveldave, Cole’s other late grandfather — is the second set of initials on the stick. There are plenty of memories to choose from, but the one that stands out most is like-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a foam bat, me and my brother. I was five and he was two. [Poulos would] pitch marshmallows to us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just hammer them across the house and my grandma would freak out.â&#x20AC;? Cheveldave said he will do his best to keep

The time is now for Kamloops Blazers fans. Interior Savings Centre has not been sold out through five post-season games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three against the Victoria Royals in Round 1 and two against the Kelowna Rockets in Round 2. Kamloops, down 2-0 to the Portland Winterhawks, is hosting Game 3 of the Western Conference final tonight (April 23) at ISC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, it would be nice to see sellouts but, for me, it was probably the loudest all year [in Game 4 against Kelowna on April 10],â&#x20AC;? said JC Lipon, who leads the Blazers in playoff scoring with 21 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really supportive from the fans and it was a good atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we can carry that atmosphere on and maybe get some sellouts.â&#x20AC;? It would seem the time for excuses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the games are on TV, ticket prices are too high, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always next round, et cetera â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is over.
Shaw TV is carrying the Eastern Conference semifinal. Calgary and Edmonton have each won a game in that series, with the third tilt scheduled for tonight in Cow Town. Only WHL Live On-Demand subscribers will be able to watch the Portland-Kamloops series from the comfort of their own homes. The Blazers lost 4-1 in Game 1 and 4-0 in Game 2 in front of 16,211 Portland fans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 7,079 in the first tilt at Veterans Memorial Coliseum and 9,132 in the second. Surely even those who feel $25 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the listed walk-up price per ticket for Round 3 games at ISC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is too steep can make an exception, given the do-or-die nature of the matchup.

TRU Visual Arts Graduating Exhibition 2013 The show, titled 12 Places, 12 Spaces, runs through May 3 in the fine-arts wing of Old Main on TRU’s campus, featuring the work of graduating students from the university’s visual -rts program. “It’s actually quite a global group we have,” said Christine Beaton, president of TRU’s BFA (bachelor of fine arts) Society and herself a graduating student. “We have one from Australia, China, Egypt, Northern Canada,
Toronto and quite a few from B.C.” Beaton said the exhibition is to visual-arts students what a convocation is to the rest of the student body — a celebration. “This is instead of the cap-andgown event,” she said. “This is our cap-and-gown event. This is where we can show anyone who’s really interested in art what we do. “It’s a really pointed result of four years of work.”

HERE IS A ROOM INSIDE OLD MAIN AT THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY THAT IS FULL OF TWIGS AND BRANCHES AND ONE GIGANTIC STUMP. Across the hall, a large room has been converted into a downtown Kamloops alley — complete with lots and lots of graffiti. Another room is home to a six-foot-tall marionette. Down the hall, there is a display of remarkably life-like — but entirely make-believe — items that have been painstakingly crafted out of ceramic. It’s all part of 12 Places, 12 Spaces — an exhibition showcasing the work of TRU’s graduating visual-arts students. Robin Hodgson, a fourth-year visual arts student and vice-president of TRU’s BFA (bachelor of fine arts) Society, said the show is a culmination of the work put in by students over the course of their education. A Tournament Capital native, Hodgson’s work is distinctly urban — and his display at the show is an artificial streetscape built to mimic textures, colours and sounds of downtown Kamloops. “It’s very representational of me,” he said. “I’ve gone around town and taken pieces of walls and found material that emulates all the different surfaces in the city you’d find. “I’ve gone back to graffiti because this is how I started and I still have a passion for it.

EARTH MONTH
FortisBC supports the environment FORTISBC editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Earth Day is celebrated annually in April with events held across the globe to demonstrate support for protecting the environment. FortisBC recognizes that sound environmental practices make good business sense and that’s why the company is committed to delivering safe, reliable energy in an environmentally responsible way to all of the communities we serve. We look for ways to support the environment in our operations and with services that we provide to our customers. One simple way customers can help the environment is to consider our paperless billing option, a fast and simple way to save paper and ultimately our forests. When customers go paperless, their bill is delivered directly to their email address as a PDF file attached to the email. The eBill service is a fast, easy and environmentally friendly way for customers to access both their electricity and natural
gas bill. Another simple way customers can look at reducing their carbon footprint is through rebates and financial incentives offered as part of our PowerSense and Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs. . Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012. The PowerSense programs helps customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both financial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices. In 2012, FortisBC’s natural gas Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs helped residential, commercial and industrial customers save more than 360,000 gigajoules of natural gas, enough energy to heat some 4,100 homes in one year. Renewable natural gas is a B.C.-made, carbon neutral energy source. The methane gas used to produce renewable natural gas
comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Instead of escaping into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured, cleaned and added to our pipeline, giving our customers a renewable energy source. For about $5 more per month on their natural gas bill, customers can designate 10 per cent of their natural gas use as renewable. We’ll then inject an equivalent amount into our system. To date, more than 60 businesses and close to 3,800 residential customers have signed up to be part of the renewable natural gas program. Helping customers conserve energy is one of the most cost effective ways for us to meet future needs. And by making thoughtful energy choices — whether it’s switching to paperless billing, installing energy efficient lighting or upgrading to a highefficiency natural gas furnace — you’re supporting the environment. Tom Loski is the vice-president of customer service at FortisBC.

Casey Koyczan, a fourth-year student from Yellowknife, has what is no doubt the largest display in the show — a room, measuring 50 feet by 25 feet, completely filled with branches and sticks. The centrepiece is a gigantic hollowed-out log — eight feet tall and two-and-a-half feet wide — suspended from the ceiling. Inside, speakers play sounds to make Koyczan’s installation a multimedia one. He said he’s been planning and working on the display for the better part of two years. “They [the branches and sticks] have been collected from all over Kamloops,” he said. “I’ve been just flagging people down who have truckloads of sticks and asking, ‘Can I have those?’” 12 Places, 12 Spaces is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. through May 3, including weekends, in the fine-arts wing of Old Main. Admission is free.

Last week I got to test drive the new 2013 MAZDA3 SPORT. It was super fun to drive! It’s a very sporty look, and was also really comfy inside! The proximity key was amazing - I could open the trunk (which was WAY bigger than I expected) by just pushing a button, even with my arms full of groceries! No digging in my purse for a key! It’s also great on fuel and very affordable - a perfect combination.

Deacon honoured by VARAC David Deacon has been named Grand Marshal of the Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada (VARAC) 2013 Canadian Historic Grand Prix.
Legendary driver will be one of two grand marshalls Racing Series of the mid to late 1980’s that David Deacon created. “That series showcased many, many of Canada’s greatest drivers, including David and his co-Grand Marshal, Ludwig Heimrath, battling it out at Mosport and racing circuits across Canada in Porsche 944s,” Bruce said. “Just let me say that it is an honour for myself and all members of VARAC that David has accepted our invitation.” In 1980, Deacon was class winner in the Molyslip Endurance Series in his Porsche RSR. He was co-driver with Marc Surer and Dieter Quester in the 1981 24 Hours of LeMans for the BMW Factory Team. He was also codriver with Jacques Villeneuve and Ludwig Heimrath Jr. in the 1983 24 Hours of LeMans. David was both creator and competitor in the Rothmans Porsche Challenge Cup Series. Away from the track, he is a successful businessman and artist. For more information, go to canadianhistoricgrandprix.com.

The Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada (VARAC) has named David Deacon as Grand Marshal for its 2013 Canadian Historic Grand Prix. The VARAC 2013 CHGP is Canada’s premier Vintage & Historic racing event. It will be held on Father’s Day Weekend in June at the world-famous Mosport Grand Prix Circuit, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park near Bowmanville, Ont. The featured marque for the 2013 event is Porsche 944 and the weekend will be a tribute to the iconic Rothmans Series that saw so many great Canadian drivers as challengers, including Deacon and co-grand marshall Ludwig Heimrath. “On behalf of all VARAC members, it gives me great pleasure to announce that David Deacon has accepted our invitation to act as Grand Marshal,” said Del Bruce, VARAC president. “As you know, the VARAC 2013 CHGP will feature a tribute to the extremely competitive and groundbreaking Rothman’s Porsche Challenge and Turbo Cup

Performance, style and fuelefficiency make X3 stand out It’s not the twinturbo 3.0-litre unit still found in the 28i’s big brother, the xDrive 35i (which cranks out 300 horse power and 300 pound-feet of torque) but, compared with the inline six it replaces, the new four-banger does generate the same number of horses and significantly more poundsfeet much earlier. It also does so more fuel efficiently. The previous engine was rated at 10.9/7.8 litres/100 km; the new one at 9.7/7.0 city/hwy. Let’s be clear, though — if you’re like many BMW drivers, who like to push it a little (and reap the reward), you’ll never see these numbers. But, the X3 does offer an Eco Pro setting that will help curb such naughtiness, as it blunts the throttle response, shifts earlier and tweaks climate control settings for less drain on the system. This setting even turns down your seat heater. And when you consider the insane price of premium fuel, Eco Pro does make sense, although it pretty much saps all the fun of driving a BMW. Sport mode and Sport+ were my guilty pleasures, and although I paid dearly for them at the pump, the quicker throttle, more direct steering and higher shift points made me forget
I was driving what is essentially a wagon on stilts. Indeed, the X3 is a tall vehicle, but in Sport or Sport+ (which tones down the traction control to allow a little more wheelspin), it will carve corners nearly as well as a sedan. Mind you, the X3 is based on the 3-Series platform, and like driving the legendary sedan, you do feel connected to the road. All X3 models get an eight-speed transmission. That’s a lot of gears, particularly when the engine is delivering ample torque, but the unit is extremely smooth and has nearly imperceptible but quick upshifts. Downshifts, however, are slower and more in line with typical automatics. In many ways, the turbo-four outperforms the naturally aspirated six, but it doesn’t sound as nice — in particular when it’s cold and the engine clatters like a diesel. That does, however, quiet down a few kilometres down the road. My other small gripe is the auto start-stop function, which shuts down the engine while you’re stopped with foot on the brake. It’s good for saving fuel, but doesn’t operate as smoothly as those found in hybrids. Lift your foot off the pedal and the engine

shudders back to life, kind of like a golf cart. I found this feature offputting during stopand-go driving and kept it off much of the time. Even though the base X3 lists at $42,450, which isn’t particularly steep for a premium compact SUV, its interior, as you’d expect from BMW, is neatly crafted. There are abundant soft-touch surfaces — for example, in the door panels and dash, along with brushed aluminum accents, and all of it nicely stitched and fitted together with the tightest of seams. Controls are easy to use — in particular the HVAC, which employs simple knobs and buttons — but the iDrive is less old school. It is, however, now more intuitive. iDrive’s main knob and buttons for media, radio, phone and navigation (the latter is part of the $2,200 Technology Package) make it easy to access these functions through a series of menus. The X3 also includes the usual stuff you’d expect in this segment — dual-zone climate control, heated front seats with driver memory, tilt/telescopic steering with controls and a decent audio system with Bluetooth. Sure, the standard upholstery is leatherette but, for another $1,900, you can remedy this with Nevada leather. Other upgrades in
Inside, BMW’s trademark fit and finish are on display in the X3. The two-tone beige leatherette is very pleasing and the controls are simple and uncluttered. In back, the X3 benefits from the same increase in rear legroom found in its 3-series sibling. There’s ample room for full-sized adult passengers to travel comfortably for long periods.
my tester included the premium package ($3,600), which provides panoramic sunroof, park distance control, bi-xenon headlights and auto dimming mirrors. All X3s offer abundant leg and head room in the back seats, and ample cargo room behind them despite the vehicle’s outwardly stubby appearance, inward-sloping rear hatch and relatively low rated capacity of 550 litres. Drop the second row and you max out at 1,600 litres, although it does appear larger. I had no problem loading it with enough stuff to set up and fill our 10-foot by 10-foot Home Show booth one weekend, with plenty of room to spare.
In practice, I’d say that it’s not far off its more capacious competitors. Setting all that practical stuff aside, the BMW roundel delivers something else that’s hard to put a price on — and that is brand cachet. Indeed, BMW says success — which, as I mentioned earlier, can either impress other drivers or make you about as popular as Piers Morgan at an NRA convention. Either way, a little envy can be quite the tonic — when you’re on the receiving end.

Hyundai has revealed unique concepts for single-person future mobility, designed for use in congested cities across the globe. Prototypes have been created by engineers working at the company’s research and development centre in Korea for an internal contest called the IDEA festival. For the last three years, Hyundai has been organizing this internal contest to enhance and expand research-anddevelopment staff’s creativity, and to discover fresh ideas for future mobility. There is always one overriding theme, but there are no boundaries for the ideas. Contestants demonstrate how new thinking can truly create new and innovative possibilities. Hyundai’s engineers submit their ideas, which get evaluated based on creativity, technology, fun and relevance to the theme. Winning teams from the first round then compete in a presentation contest and approximately half of the ideas make it to the finals. The final ideas are produced and demonstrated on the festival day in Korea. There was a wide range of prototypes showcased at the IDEA festival 2012, including the E4U egg car, one of the winning ideas. Hyundai is currently preparing for the IDEA festival 2013 with its staff submitting their ideas this month. The theme this year is research and design for Customers, focusing on how to meet customers’ future needs. This reflects Hyundai’s current strategy to focus on developing the brand and customer experience. Each winning team will turn its ideas into working prototypes and showcase them in September this year. Ideas submitted for the IDEA festival 2012 included: • A multi-rotor flying car — powered by four electric motors and propellers which means
