WHO IS KEN LEPIN? By Dale Bass

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

Ken Lepin never went to university — but he believes in the one Kamloops claims as it own and has helped build and promote it through the years. Dave Eagles/KTW

he said, “a bird house that I made with stuff from my grandpa’s woodshed. I don’t think it amounted to much but I always had a talent for making things, building things.” He also had a strong work ethic, one he saw in his childhood through his father, who worked on the Kettle Valley Railway keeping his allotted 15-mile section clear and in top shape, and from his mother, who eventually went back to school to

become a home-economics teacher. “I was so proud of her,” he said. About the same time he was building the birdhouse, Lepin was a newspaper carrier, working for a couple of papers. Soon, he added part-time jobs at The Bay and Safeway because “if I wanted clothes — and I liked clothes — you did what you had to do to be able to buy them.” X See $200 A10

And why did he give TRU more than $2 million? Ken Lepin spent his early years living in the bush with his family and a trapper in Chute Lake, just north of Penticton. He was home-schooled by his mother in his early years, not setting foot into a traditional classroom until Grade 3. Mom herself had left school in Grade 8. “I grew up to be a loner,” the Kamloops man said, “semi-unsociable. It did affect me.” University wasn’t for him. “I wasn’t disciplined enough,” he said. “I just squeaked through Grade 13, spent most of my time playing pool.” Through the years, Lepin has given back to the community he calls home now. He’s given thousands to Royal Inland Hospital. There’s a studio named for him at the Kamloops Art Gallery. He’s helping pay for a rehabilitation enclosure at the B.C. Wildlife Park for fawns and deer. Years ago, after reading a story in KTW about the Salvation Army’s need of a new van, he bought it one — and, recently, when a call to the agency to pick up donations revealed the van needed repairs, “I bought them another one,” Lepin said. Through the years, he’s also supported Thompson Rivers University, adding more than $250,000 to its coffers to help students. Last weekend, at TRU’s annual gala, Lepin and his wife Maureen presented another $2.25 million. Lepin said he’s had an ongoing relationship with TRU, acting as a sounding board for its deans and, for a short period of time, teaching there. He said he thinks the partnership has been successful because “I come at things from a different perspective. “I tend to ask why a lot. You cut to the cause, apparently, as you get older. You don’t pussy-foot around.” It’s a philosophy built on his own life. “I was 10 when I built my first house,”

A second B.C. Supreme Court ruling against the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles has placed the province’s four-year-old drinking driving law in jeopardy, lawyers said on Friday (Feb. 14). Sam McLeod, B.C.’s Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, responded “that our laws remain in place and we’ll continue to be tough on those who drink and drive.” The B.C. Ministry of Justice is reviewing the decision to determine next steps. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jane Dardi sent back a roadside prohibition — given to a driver who blew a ‘fail’ on a roadside screening device — to the superintendent’s office for a rehearing, said Vancouver lawyer Kyla Lee, who successfully argued the case. Lee and other lawyers contacted on Friday said the decision imperils the way police deal with drinking drivers and jeopardizes thousands of driver suspensions already handed out. Lee said in a telephone interview the oral decision in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver follows a similar finding by a B.C. Supreme Court justice in Kamloops in September last year. That case was successfully argued by defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen. In the Kamloops decision, Justice Dev Dley found there “is no presumption that a driver’s ability to drive is affected by alcohol solely on the basis of a ‘warn’ reading.” Blowing a ‘warn’ on a roadside screening device indicates a level of intoxication between 0.05 and 0.08. In that case, Lee Michael Wilson of Kamloops was handed a driving ban after being stopped by police in Coombs on Vancouver Island last September, a ban overturned by Dley. The province appealed and that decision is being heard in the B.C. Court of Appeal next month. X See APPEAL A5

Laughter returns to John Tod gym By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the first time since 2010, the children have come back to John Tod elementary — though few of the kids making use of the gymnasium and classrooms are old enough to worry about spelling tests and math homework. While major renovations that will transform the closed school into a community centre are still a few months off, a corner of the campus has re-opened early to house the Kamloops YM-YWCA’s child drop-in centre and many of its family-focused programs and services. Until January, the drop-in was housed in a building in Aberdeen. Monica van der Meulen, the general manager of child, youth and family services for the agency, said when the Y’s lease expired at the end of 2013, it was decided to move to the North Shore ahead of the other YMCA programs planned for the space. The Y will share the centre with the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. One month in, the move looks like a success. Van der Meulen said the drop-in program drew about 90 children for its first open house and routinely sees 20 to 30 children under the age of five each day. While the Y’s Aberdeen families have mostly followed the centre to John Tod, van der Meulen said the number of North Shore residents using the services has exploded. “It was tough for people from the North Shore to come up to Aberdeen and use our services,” she said. “We didn’t see that many. Now we’re just so much more accessible.” The Y’s decision to scrap its $3-a-day drop-in fee for the centre isn’t hurting attendance either. Van der Meulen said the centre originally planned to offer its programs for free in January and re-introduce the fees in February. “We were getting all kinds of people in and they said, ‘Well, once you start charging we can’t come back’,” she said. “Even sometimes just getting the bus here is too much. So, we didn’t want to lose them.” Besides the drop-in program, which runs 9 a.m. to noon on weekdays, the centre also offers parenting classes, training for child-care workers and home day-care providers, and a child-care referral service. John Tod also hosts the Y’s toy-lending library, where parents and guardians can sign out boxes of toys with themes like musical instruments, police and family puppets, as well as books and puzzles. Van der Meulen said the service is especially popular with grandparents hosting children for the weekend. Other YMCA programs are expected to move into the school later this year, following a $1.8-million renovation expected to start in the spring. The city plans to have the Boys and Girls Club moved out of its space on McArthur Island by September and hopes to demolish the building this fall to make way for an indoor soccer facility.

B.C. will balance its budget for a second straight year, despite a larger than usual contingency fund for labour costs, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said. De Jong wouldn’t comment directly on a January court decision in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which Education Minister Peter Fassbender has MIKE estimated could DE JONG cost $1 billion over the coming years. But, de Jong said there are only two ways the government could cover unexpected labour costs without going back into deficit. “One is to ask the taxpayers for more money — and we’re not prepared to do that,” de Jong said. “And, the second is that it comes from somewhere else in the budget.” Government lawyers have filed in the B.C. Court of Appeal for a stay of provisions that would force school districts to return to staffing rules in place in 2001. De Jong said the 2013-14 budget surplus is “modestly ahead” of the forecasts and no major tax changes are coming this year. For the fiscal year that begins April 1, he expects B.C. and Saskatchewan to be the only provinces with balanced budgets.

Compassion-club pot case begins Judge acknowledges case could ultimately lead to a Charter challenge By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The two counts of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking listed on the provincial-court documents are commonplace and simple. But, participants in a trial that began on Monday, Feb. 17, publicly recognized the criminal proceedings are likely to mark the start of a lengthy legal battle: A compassionclub owner’s attempt to undermine Canada’s war on pot. Carl Anderson and Wesley Jenkins are each charged with a single count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The charges came after RCMP raided a marijuana compassion club on Tranquille Road Anderson owned and operated and where Jenkins worked. Crown lawyer Lesley Ann Kilgore — one of two out-oftown federal government lawyers working on the case — told provincial court Judge Stella Frame the key issue the Crown will prove is the accused men had knowledge and control of about three kilograms of marijuana seized at the store. The pot was found by police in what Kilgore described as a “deli-style case” in the storefront operation.

The trial is slated to take three weeks. If the Crown is successful in proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt, the matter will move into its second, and more important, phase: A Constitutional challenge launched by defence lawyer Shawn Buckley that attempts to undermine Canada’s marijuana laws for medicinal users. Frame told the lawyers she is aware the trial and subsequent constitutional challenge marks what is likely to be a lengthy court battle through multiple levels of appeal. “I’m mindful this is just the starting point,”

HEARTFELT THANKS

Ross Forrester is happy to be alive after his wife Heather performed CPR when he went into cardiac arrest. For saving his life, Heather received the BC Ambulance Service’s Vital Link Award on Friday, Feb. 14, at the Kamloops Ambulance Station on Clapperton Road. Dave Eagles/KTW

she said. It also appears clear the two sides are not co-operating in the typical fashion meant to speed matters by agreeing to minor points — known as admissions — that can be entered into court through a written statement of facts agreed to by both sides. The Crown must prove every element of its case. The Crown is also proceeding by charging the two men with possession three kilograms of marijuana or less. In reality, pot seized at the club, when added to that found in cookies and oils also confiscated, could be totalled up to more than that amount and the prosecution potentially moved to B.C. Supreme Court — at the defence’s choice. That would have saved Anderson and defence lawyer Buckley from one step in the legal process. Kilgore said there was no “deliberate decision” to force the trial into provincial court. If found guilty, the two men will be sentenced on possession for the purpose of trafficking on the three kilograms of marijuana or less. The constitutional challenge argues the act violates section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the section that guarantees Canadians the right to life, liberty and security of the person. Buckley argues Canada’s marijuana laws violate the security of person because it puts patients who require medicinal marijuana at risk — there is no practical way to test its safety nor complex chemical requirements without assistance and expertise of compassion clubs. “If the law causes illegal behaviour, if that person must break the law to pro-

tect their health, then the law violates the principles of fundamental justice,” the

challenge argues. Buckley has also challenged the right of police to obtain a

search warrant to raid the compassion club, arguing it violated the men’s Charter rights.

Mr. Big ruse behind charges in cold case Crown alleges Sandy Charlie was killed for ratting to police on a colleague By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

RCMP mounted an elaborate Mr. Big operation — a fake gang able to clear its members of crimes — in order to obtain a confession in the historic death of a Lytton man, a jury has been told. William Robert Smith is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court for manslaughter and interference with a dead body. Prosecutor Tim Livingston told the 12-person jury on Monday, Feb. 17, the Crown will attempt to prove during the next three weeks that Smith killed Sandy Charlie between December 1999 and January 2000 by beating him. Charlie’s body was discovered by accident

11 years later. Smith’s attack was motivated by Charlie “ratting on him to police for a previous assault,” Livingston said during his opening address. Smith left after the initial beating, the jury was told. He returned some time later, allegedly beating Charlie again and then dragging him on the stairs outside the home in winter. “When he went to check on Mr. Charlie, he was dead,” Livingston said. “Mr. Smith dug a hole on the property and cleaned up . . . . He never told anyone what he’d done.” Witnesses will include investigators from the RCMP’s unsolved-homicide unit. Livingston said those

Mounties will testify police had suspicions 14 years ago Smith played a part in Charlie’s disappearance but were unable to find sufficient proof. In September 2011, construction crews working on Indian reserve land near Lytton dug up human remains, which were later determined through DNA sampling to be those of Charlie. The remains included fractured bones. In the spring of 2012, RCMP mounted an elaborate undercover operation, commonly known as a Mr. Big sting. Livingston said undercover Mounties will testify they gradually gained Smith’s confidence by bringing him into the supposed gang.

Smith’s bogus tasks included providing security for a highstakes poker game and loan-sharking. Smith was told the gang valued “honesty and loyalty” above all else. Police undertook one scenario detailing how a member was kicked out of the gang after being busted for lying about being caught drinking and driving. RCMP also undertook two scenarios to clean up and backdate information that could implicate another supposed member for a crime. It included receiving a package from a fake crooked cop in Ontario and altering a security video from a casino — all of it part of the elaborate RCMP undercover

operation targeted at obtaining a confession from Smith. The boss — Mr. Big — “was able to make problems go away through his wideranging contacts,” Livingston told jurors. The operation culminated in Smith confessing to Mr. Big how he killed and buried Charlie, Livingston said. Smith also took undercover police to the place where he alleg-

While police did not alter the way drivers stopped at roadblocks are handled following the September decision, lawyers said the second ruling should prompt change. McLeod said in an email B.C.’s immediate roadside suspension laws will stand. “Individuals who drink and drive will be held to account with immediate roadside driving prohibitions, vehicle impoundments and monetary penalties,” he said. “We’ve led the way nationally on tackling drinking and driving, and the results speak for themselves — 143 lives

saved and a 51 per cent reduction in alcoholrelated motor-vehicle fatalities.” In the decision, a B.C. Supreme Court justice did not accept the prohibition given to driver Wendy Richardson by the superintendent’s office. Richardson was pulled over at a roadblock and compelled to blow into a screening device, where she registered a ‘fail.’ No other evidence of impairment was given. Lee argued successfully, in the wake of a similar argument by Kamloops lawyer Jensen, that police need to suspect some evidence of impairment before a prohibition can

be handed out — that a ‘warn’ reading alone is not enough. Under the new laws introduced in 2010, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles argued it can only consider whether the roadside screening device is accurate and cannot consider evidence of impairment — slurring of speech or unsteadiness, for example — in any administrative reviews. But, two B.C. Supreme Court rulings have now sent that back for a rehearing. “There’s tens of thousands of people who could be affected by this,” said Lee, whose firm specializes in the challenges.

Jensen said the second decision should force the province to change the way it handles drinking drivers. “There’s going to be big ramifications. It makes the Court of Appeal decision in Wilson very important.” Micah Rankin, a law professor at Thompson Rivers University, is arguing that appeal in March. He said the issues are whether police require more evidence of impairment beyond drivers blowing a “warn” and whether the Superintendent has the ability to review that evidence under power given to him by the Motor Vehicle Act.

Sex offender Froese found dead in prison cell By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

A 34-year-old man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted a store clerk in Kamloops and was later declared a dangerous offender was found dead JACK FROESE in his cell on Wednesday, Feb.12. Correctional Service of Canada said Jack Froese was found

including property crimes and failure to comply with court conditions. At age 22, he sexually assaulted his sister’s 16-year-old friend, receiving a seven-month jail sentence. Two years later, in 2004, he trapped a 19-year-old chambermaid in a Saskatoon hotel room, restraining and raping her. He was jailed three years

Froese came to Kamloops in May, 2011, after his jail sentences were exhausted. He told authorities he would live with his mother and was bound by another court order. A specially trained probation officer supervised Froese, with police making one or two checks nightly. He was also interviewed by psychiatrists and psychologists. But, in November

the same year, after he told the probation officer he was in a happy relationship with a woman pregnant with his child and was receiving job training, Froese used his paycheque to buy drugs — drug use preceded all his sex crimes. Froese admitted to kidnapping the clerk, injecting her with cocaine and sexually assaulting her in a terrifying ordeal that left the

woman with post-traumatic stress disorder, “agony, anguish and emotional trauma,” said B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers in his ruling last year. A court-appointed psychologist, as well as psychiatrists who interviewed Froese earlier, diagnosed him with anti-social personality disorder. He scored in the 97th percentile on a psychopathy score.

HOT DEALS from this week’s flyer

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is now accepting suggestions on what to do with 155 hectares of farmland it owns near the Kamloops Airport. An expression of interest (EOI) on the BC Bid website invites farmers, developers and ranchers to submit ideas for its Cinnamon Ridge property that fall within permitted uses for land within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The property, which lies to the west of the airport site, includes the city’s biosolids and yardwaste compost sites, as well as a small portion of the airport runway and multiple fields. The site is irrigated using treated effluent water from the city’s wastewater-treatment plant. Until last summer, a portion of the property was leased to Cinnamon Ridge Farms for $25,000 a year, but the city broke its lease for the property when it became concerned the equipment being used to pump the effluent was outdated and no longer safe. Replacing the equipment, a city responsibility under the terms of the lease, would have cost $360,000. Instead, the city opted to pay Cinnamon Ridge Farms $100,000 to get out of its agreement two years ahead of schedule. Utility-services manager Micheal Firlotte said the city is required by the provincial environmental ministry to pump 20 per cent of its effluent water onto Cinnamon Ridge and other agricultural properties in the area, but is hoping it can find a way to do so more cheaply. Firlotte said until now, only “parts and pieces” of Cinnamon Ridge have been used. “Now the whole thing has opened up.” Because the city has issued an EOI, it isn’t bound to accept any proposals it receives. “We’re just asking ranchers and farmers, ‘hey, give us your best shot — what would you like to do with this parcel if I gave you these rules? What would you like to see?’” Firlotte said.

Judge convicts man in torture of neighbour By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice accepted testimony of a convicted drug dealer, who testified he was kidnapped and subjected to bizarre torture by his neighbour on East Shuswap Road in October. Justice Sheri Donegan found Daniel

Lecamp guilty of assault with a weapon, kidnapping and uttering threats following an incident on Oct. 1 last year. Lecamp, who has been in jail since his arrest in October, was sentenced to one year of additional jail and two years probation. Testimony given in court by victim Gerald Oberholzer, 60, was “elaborate,

detailed and bizarre,” said Donegan. Olberholzer testified he was confronted at his trailer home by Lecamp, who started striking him with a fish bonker and then led him back to his own trailer by the hair, a knife in his hand. Once back at the Lecamp’s trailer, Oberholzer said cardboard was placed over

“What will it take for you to overdose?” Oberholzer admitted to selling drugs to Lecamp in past. When police found Oberholzer, they noticed cardboard tubes in his ears and powdered material on his face. The victim also testified he was forced onto his back and a thick book placed on his chest, in what

his eyes so he could not see, glass rods were placed in his mouth so he couldn’t close it and a pasty substance was put in his mouth. “He heard Mr. Lecamp spitting,” Donegan said in her ruling. “He thought it might be drugs or medications.” He also testified to hearing Lecamp say:

Mop attack nets woman 15 more months in jail By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A woman who blinded her former boyfriend in one eye when she attacked him with a mop handle in a domestic dispute was sentenced to 15 new months in jail by a B.C. Supreme Court justice on Thursday, Feb. 13. Siobhan McGarry quietly wept in court after the decision by Justice Hope Hyslop. She was found guilty in June after a trial of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and uttering threats. Crown lawyer Will Burrows said her former boyfriend was blinded in one eye and it may need removal due to

infection problems. The loss has affected the boyfriend’s selfesteem and earnings prospects in the oil patch, according to his victim-impact statement read in court. McGarry was bound by a court-imposed nocontact order at the time of the assault. She was held in custody from February to April, when she was released on bail. The Crown asked for two years less a day in jail and another two years probation, while defence lawyer Don Campbell argued McGarry has already spent 64 days in jail and should be placed on probation due to the more than nine success-

ful months she spent in a recovery house. The 37-year-old Metis woman has suffered from substance abuse and is estranged from her foster parents. She has been convicted of violent offences in past. Hyslop said a strong

Who provoked school strike?

MADE AN ERROR IN A column two weeks ago about the latest court ruling in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). I referred to an “illegal” strike in 2012, and was quickly reminded the teacher walkout was sanctioned by the Labour Relations Board (LRB). After months of withholding report cards and refusing to meet with administrators, the union went to the LRB to seek permission for a full-scale strike. It got its wish, with authorization under essential services rules for a three-day strike in the first week . . . and one day a week after that until the end of the school year or a settlement was reached. For the record, the last illegal BCTF strike was in 2005, in defiance of a B.C. Supreme Court order that resulted in a $500,000 fine against the union. That was the same year BCTF lawyers won a split B.C. Court of Appeal ruling allowing teachers to bring political propaganda into classrooms. Two out of three judges decided this was appropriate to preserve their freedom of expression. The authorized three-day strike went ahead in March 2012. Regular readers may recall my reports of students being indoctrinated in classrooms and, in some cases, sent out as union pickets, and of the strong-arming of unionized government office staff here in Victoria to make them join a rally on the legislature lawn.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA This was the strike that, according to the current media and political narrative, the provincial cabinet conspired to bring about. This notion is central to the Jan. 27 ruling of Justice Susan Griffin that orders the B.C. government to attempt to reconstruct the world of 2001. Government lawyers have filed an application with the B.C. Court of Appeal to suspend parts of this ruling. Imposing Griffin’s terms would cause “irreparable harm to the public interest of unprecedented magnitude,” they said in arguments backed up by a series of affidavits from superintendents who have to keep B.C.’s war-weary public schools running. In Surrey, returning to 2002 conditions would add $40 million to the district payroll in year one. That’s one of 60 school districts. The government’s submission includes affidavits from superintendents around the province on its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth, construction of portables to meet arbitrary class-size restric-

tions, transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff and cancellation of school participation in the internationalstudent program. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that, when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap: In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open — and eventually yielded a two-year deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again, this mess is before the B.C. Court of Appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around.

Spell of the Games a tough thing to shake As the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, heads into its second week, the narrative is sounding awfully familiar. Remember all those horror stories about costs run amok, facilities unfinished or not up to snuff, unseasonably mild weather, displaced and displeased citizens and stray dogs being dispatched? Hmmm, rewind the clock four years, and we might be talking about Vancouver — minus the stray dogs part. Or, eight years ago in Turin, Italy. Winter or Summer, the script for every Olympic Games seems to be coming from the same writer. It’s already being composed for Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where slums have been razed to make way for sporting facilities and workers have died building those venues. But, the crazy thing about the Olympics — and the trump card the International Olympic Committee carries in its back pocket, nuzzled up against the vast wealth it amasses by governing the Olympic movement — is, as soon as the spotlights illuminate the ever-kitchy opening ceremonies and the first competitors enter the starting gates, all the collateral drama is forgotten. When it comes to the Olympics, we just can’t help ourselves falling in love all over again — especially when the memories of being a host city are still so fresh. Maybe it’s the sheer volume of Olympic hype and coverage that overwhelms us every couple of years. Maybe we’re just suckers for the human interest stories and athletic dramas that play out on the ski slopes, ice rinks and running tracks. Maybe we’re just looking for the chance to show our patriotism without feeling self-conscious. Whatever fuels your Olympic spirit, enjoy the ride. The cynics will be back next time round.

Challenge for Intersection needs better signage city hall: Look at the books Editor: Re: (View From City Hall column, ‘Would taxsystem tweak be welcomed by homeowners?’): Mayor Peter Milobar wrote, “The other big decision council will have on March 25 is dealing with the request from heavy industry to reduce their mill rate on their tax bill.” Could he be trying to convolute what this really means? In reality it means that, if council decides to give heavy industry a reduced tax bill, then homeowners would see higher taxes to make up the difference for the gift we will bestowing on the shareholders of these multinational corporations. The rest of your taxation thoughts are sort of self-defeating. If big business can write off their taxes, as you stated, why would the city want to lower their taxes so the homeowners can pay more? Also, trying to play in the federal and provincial taxation sandbox is pure hallucination. Starting at zero and going line by line through each city department budget to see what is really needed would probably drop our tax rate by five per cent instead of the near to per cent increase. How about it, Mayor Milobar — tell us why this can’t be done?

Editor: I am writing with regards to the North Shore intersection of Sydney Avenue, Fortune Drive and Seventh Street. People drive straight from Sydney Avenue to Seventh Street. The Sydney side has the green light while traffic from Seventh Street doesn’t have the green arrow. O`n too many occasions, vehicles come speeding from Seventh Street turning left onto Fortune Drive right in front of the people going straight. I also notice confusion on which lane to use to go straight. On the

ground, there is — or at least was — a right lane turn-only arrow, with the left lane to go straight or left when safe to do so. However, many people go straight in the right lane. We need city traffic personnel to assess the situation, put up a rightturn only sign, or maybe we just need to teach some people how to drive and slow down.

$200 first Lepin gift to TRU X From A10

Typical teenaged boy, he also had a love for cars, buying a 1938 Willy and, later, a white 1957 Chevrolet Continental. He chose accounting, he said, because, at that time, he could do articling internship in Prince George and get paid. “I thought it would be easy but I never worked so damn hard in my life,” Lepin said. He liked Prince George, he said, and the $325 a month he was making. When his employer suggested a transfer to Vancouver, “I had no desire for that but I heard of a practice in Clinton that was for sale. They wanted $8,900 for it and I had some money and my dad loaned me some and there was a note for the rest but I bought it and I paid it out within a year.” His first year, he netted $20,000. One of his clients was Ron Bregoliss, a man who wanted to start a sand and gravel business in Heffley. “Ron had a partner who was backing out and he was in moaning about it and my little antenna went up.” Lepin bought in as a partner “and we made some pretty good money.” Next came a move into the ready-mix business his sand and gravel company had been providing aggregate to, which led to buying some trucks, which meant a visit with his bank manager. “That’s the difference now,” Lepin said. “Back then, I went to my bank manager and said ‘I need this, can you finance it?’ and, a week later, here’s your money. Now, you just can’t do that.” The business thrived — Lepin recalls driving his trucks, empty, past his competitor’s doors “just to make him crazy” and, eventually, he sold the company.

Through the years, he’s built, owned and sold 20 properties, starting with the Pemberton Terrace 47-suite building in 1971 and ending with the Hillside Plaza shopping centre in 1995. He’s made some bad decisions, he said, but, for the most part, has benefited from the economic conditions at the time and wise financial moves. He fought not only with his insurers but with his lawyers when one of his properties, the Acadia building on Seymour Street, was hit by fire. The fight was over the cost to repair the roof, “my lawyer is saying I’m out of my league so I went to another one.” The matter went to trial with his lawyer and his lawyer won. But, Lepin said, it wasn’t always luck on his side. Sometimes it was being in the right place at the right time. His first donation to TRU, Lepin said, was $200. He started donating to the schools trades program “because I wanted to encourage kids to go into the trades.” Eventually, there were student prizes throughout the university provided by Lepin donations. Deciding how the money is to be spent took some time, Lepin said, with several meetings between him and vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin. “He came over here to talk — and I’m not known to be reticent. “So, we talked a lot.” He’s made the donation now for that reason, to have some say in how the university uses it. It’s important to him the money goes to help students — and not just for academic excellence. “Marks are only one part,” Lepin said. “It’s also about what you do to help others.”

Students to benefit from trio of donations By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When someone stands up in front of you and tells you he’s giving you more than $2 million, he gets your attention. It could be said, however, that Ken Lepin already had the attention of the sold-out audience at the Thompson Rivers University Gala on the night of Saturday, Feb. 15, one that saw three donations announced. One came from retired lawyer Don Andrews, a former member of the board of the TRU Foundation, who is giving the university $100,000. The next was from the Royal Bank of Canada, which reaffirmed its $700,000 announcement made earlier this week. Then came Lepin.

Already a donor of more than $250,000 to the university, Lepin announced he was giving another $2.25 million to the post-secondary institution. There are specific directions with the donation, all designed to benefit students. Existing prizes of excellence in carpentry, electrical, mechanics, plumbing and welding will increase to $1,500 from $1,000. New $1,500 prizes are being added for instrumentation technician and the diploma of transportation and motive power. Prizes in science are also increasing; Two Prize of Excellence awards are increasing to $2,500 from $1,000 and two for academic achievement are increasing to $1,250 from $500. A student award in education will increase to $2,500 from

$1,000. Two business prizes and one in nursing also increase to $2,500 from $1,000. A second one is being added to nursing for $1,250. New $2,500 awards are also being created for the faculties of law, arts and adventure arts, culinary and tourism. A new $1,000 award has been created for the veterinarytechnician program. Graduate-research studies will receive $500,000, the university’s trades-innovation fund gets $250,000, its Wells Gray lab receives $243,750 and its nursing lab will receive $200,000. Another $250,000 goes to the business school and $200,000 has been allocated to initiatives by the university president.

Two months in jail for threatening social workers By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A father of three who threatened a social worker and admitted to fantasies of holding a workplace hostage was sentenced to two months jail on Friday, Feb. 14. The threats by Frederick Philip Shupe “destroyed the sense of peace and security of the victims and destroyed the atmosphere of the workplace,” said provincial court Judge Mayland McKimm. In a victim impact statement, a social worker with Secwepemc Child and Family Services said she feels unsafe in her own home after the threats and had to tell her young child “someone wants to hurt mommy.” Shupe was convicted at trial of two counts of uttering threats. In one instance, he left a message on a social worker’s voicemail stating: “I will . . . haunt you until you die.” In another instance, he confided to a probation officer he wanted to tie up social workers, hold them hostage and set traps for police when they came to free them. While the phone message started out evenhanded, by the end McKimm characterized it as “intense, screaming and incredibly frightening. “He was spiralling out of control.” The defence argued unsuccessfully Shupe should serve a conditional sentence in the community. McKimm said Shupe’s criminal record, including assault, robbery and multiple impaired and dangerousdriving convictions, makes jail necessary. He also said a message needs to be given to those who intimidate social workers concerned for the safety of children, workers who showed Shupe “extraordinary tolerance.” Shupe was also handed 12 months probation and a 10-year firearms ban. At his sentencing hearing, Shupe told McKimm he was driven by frustration at bureaucrats with ultimate control over every aspect of his children’s interactions with him. He said he was once told by a social worker at Secwepemc Child and Family Services he was not to approach his children and their mother if he saw them in a public place. “If I see my children anywhere in a public place, I’ll hug and kiss them and tell them I love them,” he told McKimm. The hearing provided an insight into the complex factors courts and social workers must face in child protection — including driven and volatile parents.

Defence attorney Don Campbell called the 45-year-old man his “own worst enemy” during his interactions with bureaucrats over access to his children. Crown lawyer Neil Flanagan called him “rude, aggressive and intimidating” — so much so the social agency’s offices were placed on lockdown. “He’s created a situation where it’s impossible to contact directly with Secwepemc Child and Family. “Can you understand that?” Flanagan asked Shupe. “Can you absorb that and change your behaviour?” Campbell said Shupe has been sober for 11 months. “He’s worked hard, as hard as any client I’ve had to keep his life on track,” said Campbell, adding Shupe is locked in a battle of wills with social workers — a battle he cannot win but nonetheless continues. “This is a situation where he’s reduced to 20-minute supervised calls with his children,” he said. The lawyer, who has extensive family-court experience, said he advises clients their best attitude toward social workers in child protection matters is “obsequious fawning. “As soon as you get on their bad side, you’re doomed.” In one instance, social workers refused to let Shupe’s children eat lunch with him at the New Life Mission, where he resides and is undergoing a treatment program. “They [social workers] deal with way too many cases and have way too few resources,” McKimm said, adding while the rule against the children’s lunch at the Mission may be “absurd,” Shupe has to live with their rules. “Why would he do that it they’ve told him not to do it?” he asked during the hearing. Campbell also presented letters of support, including one from a psychiatrist who diagnosed Shupe with post-traumatic stress syndrome. He is on medication for his mental health. Lawyers said Shupe’s problems began when he voluntarily agreed his three children could go into ministry care after officials found his home was not clean enough. He argued he was working fulltime in forestry and was overtaxed at the time and also drinking. Shupe was convicted in 2011 of an assault on a son from another relationship in a dispute over a computer. He was jailed 60 days. Flanagan said letters and threatening behaviour to social workers began after his release from jail in 2011.

Education affects confidence in justice system By Dean Beeby

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — An internal Justice Department report said Canadians have little confidence in the courts and the prison system — and the best way to counter those perceptions is through education. Opposition critics argue that message is at odds with the Conservative justice agenda, which they say simply exploits public misunderstanding of justice issues by enacting tough-on-crime measures that can be harmful. The federal report summarizes a decade’s worth of opinion polls and research, some of it unpublished, that has consistently found high confidence in the police. But, research shows Canadians also see the courts as too slow to deliver justice and judges as handing out sentences that are too lenient. The research indicates the public believes victims are too often ignored in the justice system and prisons do a poor job of rehabilitating offenders. The study, prepared for a policing symposium last month in Ottawa, was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. “The public generally believes that sentences are too lenient and that the corrections system is not doing a great job of rehabilitating offenders,’’ said the 13-page report. Author Charlotte Fraser, a Justice Department employee, notes Canadians’ generally low levels of confidence in the justice system are similar to those of citizens in other western countries. Such views have remained relatively stable over the last 10 years, even as crime rates have fallen. “Canadians have less confidence that the CJS [criminal-justice system] is helping victims of crime,’’ Fraser concluded. “Canadians also have less confidence in some functions of the courts and corrections system, particularly sentencing practices, providing justice quickly, rehabilitating offenders and releasing the right offenders at the right time.’’

The report links the poor opinion of Canadians to a “lack of understanding of the specific mandates of courts and corrections,’’ and said public education is the favoured approach to correcting misperceptions. The Conservative government has made some elements of public opinion the cornerstone of its justice policy, imposing mandatory minimum sentences to remove discretion from judges, and promoting a victims’ charter of rights. “It’s legislation by popular opinion on many complex justice issues,’’ said MP Francoise Boivin, the NDP’s justice critic. “The way that the Conservatives have been acting on criminal-justice bills, it’s been kind of catering to these impressions.’’ Boivin, a lawyer who once practised criminal law, said the justice system can be improved, especially in its treatment of victims. But, Canadians also need to be better educated about the system rather than “just exacerbating their preconceived impressions.’’ Media reports and the Conservatives’ own claims about criminal justice can distort reality, she said. The Liberal justice critic said he was surprised public opinion has remained static even as crime rates have fallen. “The empirical evidence in terms of crime rates and rates of re-offence don’t justify the pessimism that appears to exist,’’ MP Sean Casey, a lawyer, said in an interview from Charlottetown. The Conservative justice agenda, he said, is “playing on perceptions, stereotypes and fears as opposed to the evidence.’’ The study notes the often-reported phenomenon that much crime goes unreported, but said only about 15 per cent of Canadians decline to report crime because they lack faith in the justice system. A spokesman for Justice Canada, Andrew Gowing, said the report was “an opportunity to synthesize existing research on public confidence in the Canadian criminal-justice system.’’ “At this time, no further steps are planned.’’

Climate safety net gone, geo-enginnering fails

AD NEWS ON THE CLIMATE FRONT. It was already clear we are likely to break through “do not exceed” limits into runaway warming later this century because greenhouse emissions haven’t dropped, are not dropping and probably will not drop, but now our fallback position — geo-engineering — has failed The leading technique for geo-engineering looks like it won’t work. In a paper published this month in Environmental Research Letters, three researchers at England’s Reading University have shown trying to cool the planet by putting large amounts of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere would lead to a 30 per cent decline in rainfall in most of the tropics. That would mean permanent drought conditions in countries like Indonesia, and millions left to starve. Starvation is the main impact higher average global temperatures will have on humans, causing substantial loss in food production, particularly in the tropics and sub-tropics. But, the standard assumption was that rain levels would stay the same in the tropics — maybe even increase rain — as the heat would mean higher rates of evaporation and more powerful tropical storms. Doctors Angus Ferraro, Ellie Highwood and Andrew Charlton-Perez have used several climate model simulations to examine

reflect back a portion of the incoming sunlight from above, they also reflect a portion of the long-wave radiation — heat — coming back up from the surface, heating the top of the troposphere. The troposphere is the lower part of the atmosphere, where all the weather happens. If you heat the top of the troposphere, you reduce the temperature difference between there and the surface, so the tropical overturning circulation weakens. That means less water vapour is carried up and less rain falls back down. The result is drought and famine. This is exactly the kind of scientific investigation that Crutzen wanted. He understood clearly we were venturing into dangerous territory when we start intervening in a system as complex as the climate, and he stressed more research before gambling on geo-engineering to halt imminent disaster. Nonetheless, it’s a very discouraging conclusion. The sulphur dioxide option was the cheapest and seemingly best understood option for holding the temperature down. A great many people were glad it was there — as a kind of safety net — if we really don’t get our act together in time to halt the warming by less intrusive means. Now there’s no safety net.

SYLVAIN JOSEPH CLAUDE BRISSON

HAUGHTON

Sylvain Joseph Claude Brisson, aged 46 years, entered into rest at the Kamloops Hospice House on February 16, 2014. He is survived by his wife Laurie Beauchamp, son Devin and daughter Chloé, parents Jean-Claude and Nicole of Montreal Quebec, and brother Normand (Anick).

Marie grew up mainly in the Kamloops area. She admitted she was a bit “wild” as a teenager and thus she made a very difficult decision at the age of 17 to give up her first born, Colleen for adoption. She was blessed to become part of Colleen’s life again in 2002. In 1964 she married Robert Haughton in Cour d’Alene Idaho. They had 2 children Rob and Carolyn and once moved to Lillooet they foster parented two boys. They eventually adopted Tamara and Troy VanLoon. Marie’s house was always open to children of any age. In the winter of 1973 Marie and her children moved to Lillooet and it became her home. Here she became involved with the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion to present day. She worked for the BC Ambulance, BC Provincial Emergency Social Services, Lillooet Rec Center, Lillooet District Hospital, and was a Chairman of the School Board. Marie was always involved with her community. She was active with the Lillooet Spring Softball League, Swim team, Lillooet Minor Hockey, Old Timers and Men’s Rec hockey and was always supporting and fundraising any cause. Marie was a very hard working, generous woman and always put her family, friends and community first! Predeceased by her parents Edgar and Nonie, stepfather James, stepmother Glen and sister Lyn. Mom will be dearly missed by her sister Nora, sons Rob (Amanda), Troy (Tara), daughters Carolyn (Sha), Colleen (Larry), Tamara (Bob), grandchildren Ryan, Reed, Tasha, Shalyn, Brieana, Marshall, Toni, Michael and great-granddaughter Talia, along with many nieces, nephews and friends.

WolfPack blow roof off TRU Gym By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T COULDN’T have been any closer. With their best-of-three Canada West quarter-final playoff series knotted at one, the TRU WolfPack won a fiveset thriller against the Saskatchewan Huskies on Saturday, Feb. 15, to advance to the Canada West final four next weekend. The scores were 22-25, 25-23, 16-25, 25-18 and 22-20. The deciding set went down to the wire, with both teams trad-

ing points on the way to 15. Each squad had multiple cracks at match point before the WolfPack were finally able to eek out the 22-20 victory, with fifth-year setter Colin Carson at the service line. “Three years ago, we were the worst team in the Canada West,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly said following the match, as fans and family flooded the court in celebration. “That fifth set was awesome. I’ll probably watch that again a few times in my life. “My adrenaline’s

still firing.” The Huskies had the WolfPack on the ropes heading into the fourth set, dominating the hometown squad 25-16 in the third to take a 2-1 lead in the match. The WolfPack pushed back in the fourth, forcing the match to a thrilling finale. “You look at us any of the last two years, we probably roll over here after getting killed in the third set,” Carson said. “To come back and fight like that, that just shows how much we’ve grown in the last couple years.”

Hennelly told his charges the fourth set would be their last if they didn’t pick it up and the team responded to the ninth-year WolfPack coach. TRU carried the momentum into the fifth set and made use of a raucous crowd at the TRU Gym to walk out the victors. “The crowd was huge tonight,” Carson said. “In the fifth set there, the ref was blowing the whistle and you couldn’t even hear it the crowd was so loud. “That’s awesome that the city of Kamloops is out here supporting us like that.” It was a win-bycommittee-type victory for the WolfPack, who had 14 kills from both Brad Gunter and Casey Knight, with Gunter adding eight digs and a service ace. Philip Ozari pitched in with 11 kills and 10 digs. In his final game in Kamloops, Carson picked up 44 assists and 16 digs, making a key block on match point to lead the WolfPack to victory. Bryan Fraser led the Huskies in the loss, notching 15 kills, two

service aces and 10 digs. Jordan Nowakowski and Paul Thomson both had 12 kills for Saskatchewan. “It’s perfect,” Hennelly said. “I can’t be happier for Colin Carson after the five years here.” The WolfPack will travel to Langley to face the University of Alberta Golden Bears on Friday, Feb. 21. In the other semifinal matchup, the Trinity Western Spartans will face the Brandon Bobcats. TRU swept its first match against Alberta 3-0 on Nov. 15 before losing to the Golden Bears in the fifth set the following night. Both matches were played in Edmonton. “Alberta, we played really well against them this year,” Carson said. “We were able to split with them — won in three the first night — so I like our chances playing them, too.”

Hewitt’s Olympic journey ends today By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jessica Hewitt has put the disappointment of a costly fall behind her, instead focusing on winning a medal in her last race at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. “I am re-focused and ready for the relay on the 18th and I’m excited to see what our team can accomplish,” said Hewitt, who hit the deck on the final lap of her heat in the women’s short-track speed skating 500-metre quarter-final round on Feb. 13. The Kamloops product skated today (Feb. 18), along with Canadian teammates Valerie Maltais, Marianne St. Gelais and Marie-Eve Drolet, in the women’s 3,000-metre relay final. By the time KTW’s readers pick up today’s paper, the medals will have been awarded, with the final’s start time set at 2:54 a.m. The results are posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Despite the tumble in the 500-m, Hewitt was pleased with how she skated and seemed upbeat about her team’s chances this morning. “I was trying my hardest to catch up to my competitors and on the last lap I saw an opportunity to pass,” she said. “I was going fast and leaning hard and I think that my boot touched the ice and that’s how I fell. “It’s unfortunate, but I am happy with how I skated.”

Storm claim KIJHL regular-season title By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Storm are the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s regular-season champions. “It’s not what we play for, but it’s nice because you work so hard all year,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said on Sunday, Feb. 16. “But, we really have to prove ourselves in the second season.” Kamloops cemented its spot atop the 20132014 league standings with a 4-1 win over the Revelstoke Grizzlies at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Saturday, Feb. 15. On Sunday, the Storm improved their record to 41-8-0-1 with a 3-2 overtime victory over the 100 Mile House Wranglers in Lillooet. Poor crowds at the local junior B squad’s home games have been a hot topic of late and the turnout was not great on Saturday.

It was rain check night at Interior Savings Centre, with the Kamloops Blazers squaring off against the Prince George Cougars in WHL action, and that didn’t help the Storm’s cause. “When you feel like nobody appreciates you, it’s hard, but it’s a little extra motivation,” Patterson said. “It’d be huge to get big crowds in the playoffs.” Kamloops has two regular-season tilts remaining — on Wednesday, Feb. 19, against the Eagles in Sicamous and on Saturday, Feb. 22, against 100 Mile at McArthur. Many of the Storm’s top guns will be rested this week, giving some of the team’s younger players a chance to see the ice. “These guys have worked hard all year and it’s a good opportunity to get them some good minutes,” Patterson said.

“We’ll see if they can prove themselves and step up.” Sicamous will be the Storm’s first-round playoff opponent, with Games 1 and 2 set for Feb. 25 and Feb. 27, respectively, at McArthur. The franchise existed in Osoyoos from 1996 to 2006 before owner Barry Dewar brought it to the Tournament Capital. Only once had it captured the regularseason banner, in the 2004-2005 campaign, and it went on to beat the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in the championship final.

Playoff preview

KTW will have a look ahead at the KIJHL post-season in its sports pages on Feb. 25. Reporter Adam Williams will be interviewing players, coaches and fans at McArthur on Saturday, looking for their thoughts on the team.

Hedley show nothing short of Perfect By Cindi Hamoline SPECIAL TO KTW

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

EDLEY, MULTIPLATINUM CANADIAN pop stars and Juno Award winners, have started its most extensive Canadian Tour to date, with more than 30 cities on the itinerary. Kamloops was the third stop on Hedley’s Wild Live 2014 Canadian Tour and Kamloopians were thrilled to welcome them back to our city. The energy around Interior Savings Centre was buzzing on Sunday, Feb. 16, and the loud squeals and screams of the concert attendees were heard in full force before, during and after the show. Artists Jacob Hoggard (vocals), Dave Rosin (guitar), Tommy Mac (bass) and

Chris Crippin (drums) gave their all during this high-energy performance. The group played to a nearly sold-out audience with a set list that showcased latest album Wild Life, released in November. Hedley experimented with some new instruments on this album and the result is a creative, retro and interesting sound. Highlights from the album included Anything, featuring vintage keyboards, and Crazy For You, showcasing a funky sound reminiscent of a Michael Jackson song. Visually, the show was fun, with multiple stages, many instrument changes, and featured impressive video vignettes threaded throughout the sets. Fans also enjoyed the T-shirt cannon and the up close and personal

interactions with the band. When Cha Ching (The Show Must Go) was playing, TRU cheerleaders took to the stage and did a routine that had fans screaming their delight.

With their infectious energy, genuine love of music and unique style, it is easy to see why this band is still going strong after 10 years and five albums. The opening acts also featured Canadian talent with Danny Fernandes, JRDN and Allysa Reid. I was unfamiliar with these acts and didn’t have any expectations but was impressed with their talent. Fernandes is an R&B/pop performer from Toronto who has been making some serious waves in the industry as a solo songwriter. He has emotional lyrics that seem to focus on breakups, love lost and starting over. JRDN had the crowd moving with his catchy R&B sound and strong electric beats.

centre of Silent Chap, Corbishley said the show also pays tribute to Chaplin’s comedic chops. “There are definitely, true to his style, a lot of elements of sentimentality and sadness and tragedy within it,” he said. Silent Chap runs from Feb. 20 to March 1 at the Sagebrush Theatre, 821 Monroe St. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live Box Office, kamloopslive.ca, or 250-374-5483.

Tramp — to the lineup. “When the Tramp is born or created, because it has such a huge impact on society and pop culture and social culture, he actually becomes part of society,” Corbishley said. From then on, the two Chaplins must negotiate life in the spotlight side-by-side, with the differences between the man and his creation at the show’s heart. “So, it’s how do people respond to each?” Corbishley said. “How does someone he’s in a relationship with — a girlfriend or a marriage — is the girl really in a relationship with the celebrity person, the Tramp, or is she actually in love with the person?” The set, which he describes as one of WCT’s most advanced efforts, muddies the lines between reality and Hollywood as well, with cast members interacting with previously shot film. While there are heavy questions at the

Dance DISC

With two versions of its main character and a script that blends film and live theatre, the latest offering from Western Canada Theatre blurs the lines between pop culture and reality — and does it all without a single line of dialogue. Silent Chap, a new work by B.C. Living Arts artistic director Alan Corbishley, lives up to its title. Taking its cue from the life and films of Charlie Chaplin, actors perform with music and sound effects, but few spoken lines. “It’s 98 per cent dialogue-free,” said Corbishley. “As per Chaplin’s films, however, there are title cards with dialogue in them. So, there’s still dialogue, we just don’t actually speak it.” While the concept of a silent performance came before the subject matter, Corbishley said

Chaplin proved a perfect character to base a show around. Born in Victorian-era London, Chaplin was raised in poverty by his single mother, who was committed to an asylum when he was 14. Though his films would eventually make him one of the most influential and beloved stars of the silent era, he was dogged by personal and professional troubles. He was eventually banned from returning to the United States in the early 1950s, in part because of accusations he was a communist. “His life was just riddled with controversy,” said Corbishley. “It was really, really a fascinating sort of find.” In its early stages, Silent Chap read like a standard biopic but Corbishley found himself more interested in the ways reality and celebrity intersect and eventually added a second Chaplin — or, rather, Chaplin’s most influential character, the

Cadillac CTS withstands weather conditions

wheelstalk.com

HROUGHOUT

the dark days of GM’s 2008-2009 fiscal meltdown, the first signs of change had already started to emerge and the most prominent was the Cadillac CTS. Now in its third generation, the 2014 CTS heads up GM’s resurgent Cadillac division that sees sales climbing and, most importantly, consumers re-evaluating the brand favourably against European luxury competitors. With its striking, chiselled looks, the CTS also has the feel of a quality sedan which was lacking in previous Cadillacs like the DTS and STS. It’s also the right size — not too big for the sake of being big. The standard engine is a direct injection, turbo 2.0-litre producing 272-horsepower and 295 pounds per feet of torque — which is a lot of grunt for a powerplant that looks so small under the hood. Optional on all but the base CTS is GM’s workhorse, a direct injection, normally aspirated DOHC V6 with 321 horsepower and 275 pounds per feet of torque. The one exception in the CTS sedan lineup is the Vsport Premium that gives the V6 the twin-turbo treatment which sees power soar to 420 horsepower and 430 pounds per feet of torque. I experienced the

twin turbo just before driving the CTS in the form of the top-line XTS premium luxury sedan. Even though the XTS was bigger and heavier, it had an abundance of power because the torque gets to the road surface so solidly. There are five CTS sedan trim levels: Standard, luxury, performance, premium and vsport premium. Rear-wheel-drive is standard, while allwheel-drive is an option except on the vsport, which retains RWD with the addition of a limited slip rear differential that you need with that kind of power. Tested here is the premium AWD and was I glad to have it after a two-day ice storm, followed by some of the coldest temperatures we’ve seen in decades. Coupled with washboard-like road surfaces made by ice expanding, morning driving was an adventure. Luckily, it had new snow tires, as well, but I could actually feel the tires taking a pounding through the electric power steering. The CTS would sometimes track a little to the left or right as the AWD, traction control and stability control worked overtime. That drive required constant attention. I could not imagine what it would have been like with only two driven wheels and all-season tires. On the centre console is a drive-mode selector for the sixspeed transmission that gave a choice of

normal, sport and snow, which is a valuable plus in winter conditions. If there ever was a reason why it’s wise in Canada to pay more for AWD, that one drive was proof. One of the features on all but the standard model is the driverawareness package, that includes side blind-spot warning, rear crosstraffic alert, IntelliBeam headlights, rear backup camera, rain-sensing wipers, safety-alert seat and forward-collision alert. The latter two show just how advanced driver and passenger safety have become, starting with the forward collision alert that uses radar housed behind the Cadillac grille crest to gauge the distance and closing speed of the car ahead. If everything is happening too fast, the driver’s seat vibrates and, with the premium as tested and its heads-up display, a red warning flashes on the windshield in the line of sight. Using radar and cameras, the safety-alert seat also gives a little rumble on the left or right bolster if the car strays across the dotted line. CTS Premium also comes with adaptive cruise control that keeps the car at a safe distance and even provides extra protection with automatic seatbelt tightening. It takes a little getting used to the first couple of times. Ride and handling are world-class, starting at the front, where

the CTS combines double wishbones and MacPherson struts, along with a rear, specially tuned, five-link independent setup. Brakes sourced from Brembo provide the stopping power. And, while it was nasty on the outside, things were cozy on the inside, starting with the heated steering wheel. I’ve never had to use one before but was glad to have it. GM, in the last decade, has gone from OK to superb when it comes to interior fit and finish, starting with the wonderful leather seating with classy double stitching. Ambient lighting came with the CTS Premium, as did — get ready — an electronic cupholder cover on the transmission tunnel. It’s touch sensitive and rolls open and shut silently. And then, of course, is Cadillac User Experience, a faceplate that covers the centre stack and includes an eight-inch LCD touchscreen activated by sensing the proximity of your hand. This goes beyond infotainment systems but includes everything you’d expect and more, such as the ability to store up to 60 pre-sets including addresses, songs, phone numbers and even points of interest. Bluetooth enabled, it has a handset recognition function with direct access to a smartphone. CUE offers so much, but I still struggle trying to get used to swiping my finger across the

faceplate to change volume or change radio stations instead of using a simple knob. What I do like is the instrument cluster that has a screen instead of real gauges. It can be configured in a number of ways while showing a wide range of information including transmission drive modes, phone calls, radio stations and I liked being able to show my speed in very large numbers. A park-sensing front and rear has the usual audio alerts, but it is also depicted on the screen with a series of waves that change from white-yellow-red the closer you get to an object. I thought the icon of the CTS — with its Cadillac signature vertical taillights — was neat. As you can imagine, the CTS Premium AWD as tested had just about everything feature thus the starting price of

$71,690. As tested it was $74,730 including a $1,700 shipping fee. If you want to see

how far GM has come, a test drive in the 2014 Cadillac CTS will open your eyes.
