The Crown expects to call 13 witnesses during a month-long trial of a Kamloops man accused of killing his wife more than a decade ago. Robert Balbar’s second-degree murder trial, which started on Wednesday, Nov. 12, in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, marks the first time so-called Mr. Big evidence is heard in a Canadian courtroom since a landmark decision earlier this year limiting the controversial undercover technique employed by the RCMP across the country.

How to provide laundry will be put through the wringer at Royal Inland Hospital and other health-car facilities as the Interior Health Authority (IHA) looks at the possibility of privatizing the service. The IHA has notified unionized staff it is exploring the future of laundry service — specifically whether using a private contractor is financially feasible. “There is no pre-determined option,” said Lori Holloway, the IHA’s regional director of facilities management. The health authority has five large and six small laundry sites with 175 employees. In Kamloops, there are 15 full-time equivalent staff. “We want to ensure we have a sustainable laundry service,” Holloway said of the review. “We have limited capital dollars to support our aging infrastructure.” Mike Old, communications director with the Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU), which represents the workers, said the collective agreement allows the IHA to contract out services after a 90-day consultation period with the union. That right was created through the controversial Bill 29, the Health and Social Services Delivery Improvement Act, which was passed in 2002 and allowed the province to tear up its contract with the HEU and which led to the layoff of more than 8,000 workers.

KGHM Ajax defends its election letter KGHM Ajax has responded to concerns it has waded into the Kamloops municipal election after pledging to stay out of the fray. The company behind the Ajax copper and gold mine sent its supporters a list of Kamloops city council candidates opposing the mine. Originally compiled by pro-Ajax Facebook group Support Ajax Mine, the list splits candidates into “waiting for scientific studies” and “opposed to Ajax.” “As a company, we are neither endorsing nor financially supporting individual candidates, and while we encourage everyone to vote, we would never tell anyone how to vote,” reads the letter, signed by KGHM Ajax’s external affairs manager Yves Lacasse. “At the same time we support transparency, and trust that with factual information in hand Kamloops residents will make good decisions about the future of our city. “While city council has no formal decision making role in the Ajax review process, its leadership is important.” Candidate Dustin McIntyre, among others, took issue with the letter. According to Elections BC, because the letter meets Election B.C.’s definition of third party advertising — “the transmission
to the public by any means, during the campaign period, of an advertising message that promotes or opposes, directly or indirectly, a registered political party or the election of a candidate” — KGHM must register with the province. Deputy chief electoral officer Nola Western told KTW KGHM is in the process of doing so, but only began the process three days after it sent out the letter. In an emailed statement to KTW, senior communications strategist Robert Koopmans said the company is not endorsing candidates, and downplayed the letter’s status as political advertising. “We do encourage our neighbours to get out and vote. “Several of our supporters have shared council candidates’ position on Ajax, and others have asked us for a list. “We shared a list researched and prepared by one of our supporters and shared it with other supporters in one of our regular project update letters,” the statements reads. “This list simply indicates those candidates who want to wait for the environmental studies before taking a position on Ajax. Regardless, Ajax decided last week to register as a third-party sponsor and expects to file the required paperwork this week.”

Balbar trial expected to run into early December From A1
Balbar, 42, is alleged to have murdered his girlfriend, Heather Hamill, in July 2003.
Hamill’s body was found floating in the North Thompson River on Aug. 1, 2003. The 31-year-old had been bludgeoned with a hammer.
Balbar admitted to an undercover officer that he killed Hamill, claiming to have been acting in self-defence while she swung a machete and threat-

pect is asked to come clean about anything that might get him or her in trouble. Court heard Balbar confessed to Mr. Big that he killed Hamill. The first Crown witness was the undercover Mountie who presented himself as Mr. Big. His name is protected by a courtordered publication ban. He outlined how Mr. Big investigations
are conducted, and described his meeting with Balbar in December 2007. He said Balbar admitted during a meeting at a Kelowna hotel to killing Hamill. In July, the Supreme Court of Canada issued a ruling that placed severe limitations on police officers engaged in Mr. Big undercover operations. The technique
can still be used, but severe restrictions have been placed on admissibility of evidence and some police tactics. The trial — before a seven-man, fivewoman jury — is expected to run into early December. This is Balbar’s second murder trial. He appealed an earlier conviction and was last year granted a new trial.

In 2007, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled parts of that decision to be unconstitutional, but the right to contract out remained. In recent weeks, KTW has been contacted by employees working in the laundry service at Royal Inland Hospital, complaining about health issues they said were related to the chemicals used there. At least one employee was later ordered by her doctor to take medical leave, claiming her physician determined chemicals were making her sick. Old said the HEU is limited in what it can discuss publicly about the situation, due to a similar contracting-out dispute with health-worker employers who filed a grievance against the union, complaining it had violated a confidentiality agreement that covers the consultation period. The arbitrator agreed with the employers. Old said, however, the focus will be to protect
the affected employees. “Clearly, today is a day full anxiety,� he said yesterday (Nov. 12). The IHA spends about $10 million a year to operate the laundry service and it is believed about $10.5 million is needed over the next several years to replace equipment such as washing machines. In the next week, the Interior Health Authority, along with Lower Mainland health authorities, will issue a joint request for qualification to determine if private companies are interested in providing laundry services. Old said unlike the Lower Mainland, the Interior has not seen many hospital services contracted out. The IHA tried to do that with its laundry in 2003, later changing its mind and looking for cost savings through consolidation and other efficiencies. The health authority contracted out security services at Royal Inland Hospital in 2010.

UNCERTAINTY FOLLOWS COURT RULING CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A unanimous Supreme Court of Canada decision that gives powerful title rights to aboriginal people left many uncertainties in its wake, said an Ontario law professor. Kent McNeil, a professor at Osgoode Hall law school, said during a lecture yesterday (Nov. 12) that the Supreme Court of Canada’s Tsilhqot’in decision giving title to 1,700 square kilometres of land follows an ancient commonlaw principle that the first to use or exploit land can take title of it. “They [Tsilhqot’in] were the first possessors of the land and that’s the standard that needs to be applied,� said McNeil, who spoke to law students and faculty at Thompson Rivers University’s Ike Barber Centre. In a unanimous decision in July, the country’s highest court rejected the B.C. government’s argument that aboriginal title should be restricted to settlement sites and other places frequently occupied by semi-nomadic aboriginal people before European contact. McNeil said First Nations groups can rely on factors to prove occupation of land that include enforcing against trespass by other aboriginal groups or historical laws related to land use. Experts have said the decision gives First Nations in B.C. a near-veto on development for what is unceded aboriginal land. But, in reponse to questions, McNeil said many uncertainties remain. Adams Lake Indian Band Chief Nelson Leon noted in a question-and-answer period the Crown’s underlying title interest is granted, while First Nations title must be proven. “Onus of proof is still on aboriginal people,� McNeil said, noting if title is proven after development, for example, compensation would be required. A number of Secwepemc bands are pursuing a related case to the Supreme Court of Canada, asserting a First Nations logging operation more than a decade ago that was not authorized by the province is lawful. “I think the onus should be on the Crown to prove it’s Crown timber . . .� he said. “I hope the courts will acknowledge that. It’s going to take litigation.� Other outstanding issues including overlapping aboriginal claims and status of fee simple land. In advancing its case, the Tsilhqo’tin specifically left out private lands for strategic reasons. But, McNeil said, questions remain about compensation for those now-private lands across B.C.

Barb Lundstrom has a goal. She wants to collect 77 warm blankets or sleeping bags — no afghans, but the kind of covering that might help someone who calls an alley or a piece of shoreline home this winter survive the cold we all know is coming. The former nurse said reading a KTW story about the recent homeless count in the city from the warmth and comfort of her North Shore home lit some kind of fire in her — one that has her on what she calls a mission to collect the blankets. With friends Zena
Lawrence and Linda Brooks, she plans to head to the riverbanks where the homeless live to distribute them. Lundstrom has collected five from friends and is clear she isn’t looking for brand-new, but clean, gently used blankets. “Anything new is a bonus,” she said. Lundstrom is hoping people will drop off blanket donations at Mount Paul United Church, 140 Laburnum St., a place she heads to weekly as a volunteer in the Jubilee Urban Movement and Partners (JUMP), a group that provides a meal for homeless and low-income people every weekend. “When I read that,” she said of the story,

A DIFFERENT FEEL TO THE DAY
T
his year’s Remembrance Day felt a little different than years past. To be sure, the ceremony was much the same, honouring those Canadians who took up arms in defence of country and principle, and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms. Still, there was a special poignancy this year as the thoughts of many attending ceremonies across Canada turned to two young soldiers — Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent — who lost their lives in the performance of their duties, killed not in battle, but as symbols. It’s 95 years since the first Remembrance Day was held, marking the end of “the war to end all wars.” But, war didn’t end with the First World War. It continued on, as it has through all the ages of man. How tragic that almost a century after we started to solemnly mark it, we are still adding names to the long list of the fallen. It’s a thin line between glorifying war and remembering and honouring those who fought in war. That’s why the poppy is such an important symbol. It focuses our attention on the sacrifices made by the soldiers, the blood spilled of foreign soil. Remembrance Day is often fittingly grim. We gather in the dark and cold of oncoming winter, to pause, reflect and honour. Unlike other holidays throughout the year, this isn’t a celebration; it’s a reminder that, sometimes, sacrifices have to be made to defend the freedoms Canadians hold dear —or to correct injustices. And, especially, we gather to remember the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives fighting for our freedom. Ask yourself what the world would be like without their sacrifice.

On Nov. 15, get out, vote
T
wo more days to decision day — when we’ll not only see who we’ve chosen to run the city and the school district for the next four years, but also how many of you care about it. This is the first time I’ve covered a municipal election in the 40-odd years I’ve been in the business, a blessing in the past created by a few simple realities. First, our newsroom in Ontario, where I spent much of my life, had a reporting staff then of 187 — don’t ask what it is now, but a couple of us would only be needed to count fingers. For a few of those years, my dad was a city councillor, which created a welcome conflict of interest. I also asserted throughout that time, as a mom first, I didn’t want to wade into anything emanating from our school-board administration because I had kids in the system. Unfortunately, the youngest finally graduated and the education beat is mine. It’s been a depressing time to cover this election because so many people have told me they don’t plan on voting — or, if they do, it might just be for one or two running for council. But, they’re not sure. It might be a beautiful day on Saturday, Nov. 15, and they can spend their time better

LEVEL washing the car, blowing the leaves, maybe watching some silly-season golf or anything else that interferes with heading down to their neighbourhood school to vote. Anyone see the irony on schools being the venue for the democratic process, when so many rookie candidates this time around said how stunned they were many people not only didn’t know what a trustee does, they don’t care. My list of potential X-receivers has varied depending on the day, the story I was writing or reading, the weird things some candidates in this municipal election have done — from stroking a friend’s neck to yelling at some of their challengers to quite simply not knowing anything about the offices they were seeking. Some lost my interest with their incessant Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, warm fuzzies and not one single sentiment expressed that vaguely resembled positions
on issues. Others lost my support because they didn’t live up to my expectations at all. But, that doesn’t mean I’ll be sitting at home on Saturday. This is the one chance we get to really have a say in the only level of government that, with pretty much every decision it makes, has an immediate impact on our lives. They decide how many children will be in our classrooms, what roads will be fixed up, if school trips will be approved, when the buses will run — all those things that are part of our everyday lives. They make sure the roads are plowed in the winter, we don’t waste water in the summer, our schools are run efficiently, our children are in a safe place. I’ll be honest: There are some incumbents I’m not voting for because there are some new faces with new ideas who have been impressive. I don’t expect everyone I vote for to be elected — that has only happened once in the 40-odd years I’ve had the opportunity to exercise my right to vote — but the thing is, I’m taking part in that process because it matters. Only 29 per cent of you felt that way in 2011. Let’s fix that this time. The leaves can sit — you shouldn’t. Go vote. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A HEARTWARMING GESTURE ON NOV. 11 A short time “later, the waitress came by and said, ‘Your lunch has been paid for.’
”
Editor: Marching with the old guard to the resounding cheers and clapping of the citizens is always a truly heartwarming experience. This year, my family and I received an additional heartwarming gesture of appreciation for my military service. Following the Remembrance Day parade, we went to Scott’s Inn to warm these old bones, along with my heart, still in my regimental blazer with medals.
First, a lady dropped by our table, shook my hand and conveyed her sincere and personal thanks for my service. Warmed by those sentiments and an early coffee, we ordered lunch. A short time later, the waitress came by and said, “Your lunch has been paid for.” “By whom?” I asked. She replied: “The person already left.” Further questioning revealed the
lunch for everyone at the table was paid for. That made this a really special gift. This anonymous person had recognized that service in the Canadian Armed Forces is actually service and sacrifice by the whole family, even during peacetime. To that generous and thoughtful anonymous person, our most sincere and heartfelt thank you. Marvin Dyck Kamloops
DON’T LET CATS ROAM OUTSIDE
FOUR NATIONS CUP ROCKED KAMLOOPS Editor: Accolades to the city for staging the wonderful Four Nations Cup women’s hockey tournament. It continues to put Kamloops on the map as a great host. It was so uplifting to see Interior Savings Centre packed for the TV audience across the country. Kudos also to Tara Gostelow for her entertaining hosting job in the arena during games. She was fun to watch and had excellent command of both languages. I wish Quebec could have heard this from a Westerner. She made the place rock, as did the teams. It was great to turn on everyone to the speed, skills and play of women’s hockey — and let’s not forget those wonderful volunteers. Thanks to everyone. Jenny John Kamloops
Editor: Re: (‘Caring for a cat colony,’ Nov. 4): I read with interest about the kind-hearted lady who feeds a large population of feral cats in Kamloops. As a cat owner, I empathize with wanting to provide welfare to these animals. Unfortunately, feral cats and roaming pets have a great impact on native wildlife. The numbers of birds killed by cats in North America is in the hundreds of millions annually and small mammals killed are in the billions. Not all of these mammals are introduced pests such as house mice and rats. I have three unrestrained neighbouring cats that visit my yard and I often find dead birds, squirrels, voles and chipmunks they have dispatched. I don’t feed birds because I do not wish to attract them to a sure death by predation. Our own cat has contributed to wildlife loss in the past and is undergoing “therapeutic rehabilitation.” She now has a screen tent that restrains her movements whenever she gets an outdoor experience. Trapping, neutering and releasing animals
seems to be the preferred method of dealing with feral-cat populations, but this serves only to stabilize the population over time. It does not eliminate the negative effects on wildlife but, hopefully, tends to reduce impacts. Unfortunately, complete humane population removal appears to have limited success. Other cats often arrive to occupy the space made by removing some. It is an enormous challenge that has seen much effort by agencies across North America. To help reduce wildlife losses, owners should re-train their animals to be indoor cats. Declawing does not prevent them from killing wildlife. When finished with owning pets, they should never simply be dropped off around known feral-cat populations. A good home should be found for our cats. If they are too old or sick to put up for adoption, they should be properly euthanized by a veterinarian. Abandoning pets is a cruel practice and adds to an enormous problem everywhere.

LETTERS CAMPAIGNING BY FOREIGN COMPANY IS ‘UNCOMFORTABLE’ Editor: Re: (‘KGHM Ajax letter raises question of impartiality,’ Nov. 10): Finally, KGHM Ajax has come clean on its attempt to influence the outcome of the Kamloops municipal election. This is the Polish government, mind you, campaigning in Kamloops. It owns a significant portion of KGHM. It’s astonishing that we have a foreign government-controlled corporation actively campaigning in an election to help elect politicians friendly to the proposed Ajax mine. These same politicians will be making decisions to approve zoning changes to allow for the company’s mineral-processing activities. Doesn’t that make you just a little uncomfortable?

STAND BEHIND SOLDIERS
Editor: I attended our recent vigil at the Cenotaph to honour the two soldiers who were killed in Quebec and Ottawa. It was a wonderful ceremony with quite a large turnout. After the service, and after most people had left, I walked up to the Cenotaph and bowed my head. As I stood there, I heard the quiet sobs of someone behind me. I turned to look and there stood a young woman, alone, tears running down her face. I asked if she was OK. Her lip quivered as she quietly said no. I asked if she would like

a hug. She nodded. I walked over to her — a perfect stranger — and hugged her as if she were my best friend. We both cried. She said she didn’t know why she was crying. After all, she didn’t know the men who died. I offered up my own thoughts. Men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces have always been ready to answer the call to protect the innocent and, on occasion, to fight the wars we are asked to fight. We are proud to wear our uniforms in public and provide assistance in times of disaster, at home and abroad. We answer the call because it is our duty. When a soldier is overseas, they know they may become a target. They know there is a risk of injury or death. It is an accepted risk. However, they would never expect to be a target of violence at home in Canada — and most certainly not when on guard, unarmed, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was the ultimate insult. The deaths of these two soldiers at home,
in these circumstances, makes us all feel vulnerable. I was there to honour Cpl. Cirillo and Warrant Officer Vincent, but also to support all members of the Canadian forces — my regimental family. As a retired member of the forces, married to a member from a military family, losses like these affect us all deeply. But, just as importantly, I was there as a Canadian — strong and proud. I was there to show those who would inflict horror and terror upon us that we will not yield to these cowardly attacks, that the events will only strengthen our resolve to stand up to individuals or groups that target us for having the strength to stand up for others and lend a hand — because that is what Canadians do. After a time, we parted, both of us going our separate ways. I never did get her name. I think she felt better after our talk and cry and hug. I know I did. I hate to quote Don Cherry but, on a recent edition of Coach’s Corner, he said some-
thing I truly believe — that, while we are going to events and showing our support right now, in a month’s time, the memory of this event will begin to fade for most people. One thing we can do to ensure our support for our troops continues is to pledge funds to any of the following groups: • cfmws.com, whose mission is to enhance the morale and welfare of the military community. Includes personnel support and military family services. • familyforce.ca, also known as the Military Family Resource Centre. My family has supported this organization, which supports military personnel and their families. There are soldiers who have been deployed overseas who have returned home with a variety of issues — physical and mental health, etc. — who could really use our help. Even if you are not behind the mission/ politics involved, let’s show our appreciation for the sacrifices these soldiers and their families have made. Stacey Jyrkkanen Kamloops
IDA LANE PARKING THREAT ‘COMPLETE CRAP’ Editor: This week, as I’ve done hundreds of times in my life, I parked my vehicle at the top of Ida Lane. My dog and I hiked up to the Deep Lake/Lac Du Bois Grasslands area. After a nice hike, I returned to my car, which was parked where I and others always park — off the street, not in front of anyone’s home. There was a pink notice stuck under my wiper, informing me if I parked there again, I’d be towed. This notice was from Rockcliffe Strata. I was invited to “walk-in or bike in.” I don’t live within walking distance of this spot and I don’t own a bicycle. Where am I supposed to park my
vehicle if I want to access public land I have been hiking since I was five years old? Cooper’s? The church? Westsyde elementary? What if I want to take my parents or grandparents for a hike up to Deep Lake? They’re in their 60s and 80s and a trudge up Ida Lane in addition to the hike is too much for them. This is unreasonable and I don’t appreciate being threatened with towing because I’m out enjoying nature with my dog. So, now only residents of Ida Lane and nearby streets have the right to access Deep Lake/Lac Du Bois Grasslands? This is complete crap. Chad Pearson Kamloops

Battle Street Cenotaph to get a face lift The Memorial Hill Park Cenotaph on Battle Street will have some work done on it, courtesy of a $25,000 grant to the Kamloops Museum and Archives. Through the federal cenotaph/monument restoration program, the site just west of Stuart Wood elementary will see the clocks in the monument repaired and the cenotaph cleaned. The concrete pad expanded, new walkways installed, along with a ramp and inground lighting will also be completed.
Benches will be added, a new fencing put in place and the area will be landscaped. Plaques honouring veterans of the two world wars, the Korean War and Canada’s contribution to the Afghanistan mission will also be refurbished and remounted. Cathy McLeod, Conservative MP for Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, said that the work would ensure this cenotaph would preserve the memory of the fallen for future generations.
Calling for war roll honour audit KTW readers have directed the newspaper and St. Paul’s Anglican church toward a different understanding of names featured on the First World War roll of honour as shown on the front page Nov. 7. Reader Adele Saemerow recognized the name of her great uncle, Wilfrid Green, on the church’s roll of honour. The story on page A3 documented the effort to restore the historical document and the church’s understanding of its significance. St. Paul’s had stated it believed the nearly 200 names on the roll of honour were men from Kamloops and region who went to war and died in Europe; the shaded names were members of St. Paul’s congregation. Saemerow knew, however, her uncle continued to live in the region after the Great War. He died in 1961. Louise Peters, dean and rector of St. Paul’s, said a member of the public approached her before Sunday’s dedication service. According to his research, the names on the roll of honour were members of the Anglican church in Kamloops who served in the First World War. The shaded names, he said, were men who died in Europe. Peters said the church is relying on informed speculation and oral history as it comes to a more complete understanding of its restored roll of honour. KTW readers with more information and research are encouraged to contact the church.

Landowners sue province alleging salt contamination CAM FORTEMS

Two Nicola Valley landowners are suing the province for what they claim is salt contamination from a neighbouring road-maintenance yard. Hyung Keun Kim and Kyoung Hee Kim have filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court against the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, seeking damages for what they claim is contamina-
tion of ground and surface water, as well as soil, on their 10-hectare property on Coldwater Road, south of Merritt. The lawsuit claims the ministry operates the Godey Pit near their property, where it stores winter aggregate with a salt level of three to five per cent. “For the past number of years, the defendants have allowed salt in the Godey pit to leach into soil of the plaintiff’s property,” reads the statement of claim filed by the Kims.
The statement of claim said the ministry constructed an engineered facility in 2008, but salt-impacted soils remain and it undertook no further measures. The Kims said they discovered contamination of their property in 2011, when they attempted to sell the land, which includes a residence, a barn and an outbuilding. The ministry has yet to file a statement of defence. None of the allegations have been heard or proven in court.

BRIEFS Mounties have some old, rare coins — are they yours?
Kamloops Mounties want to reunite some are coins with their owner. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said two old, rare coins were found in Riverside Park during the Remembrance Day ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The coins are being held at the RCMP’s Battle Street detachment and can be claimed by calling 250-828-3000 and identifying them and the container in which they were kept.
Police want to track down those responsible for two vehicle thefts
Kamloops Mounties are hoping a tip from the public will help them track down those who went on a brief crime spree over the weekend. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said police were called to a vehicle-repair shop on West Victoria Street at about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, for a reported break-in. Investigators determined someone had forced their way into the business and stolen a Chevrolet SUV — which was found abandoned a short time later in the nearby Guerin Creek neighbourhood. Another vehicle, a Toyota pickup, was stolen from the Guerin Creek area and found abandoned several hours later on East Shuswap Road on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Alleged robber enjoyed fruits of his labour for about five minutes
A Kamloops man is in custody after a downtown bank was robbed on Friday, Nov. 7. At about 3 p.m., a man entered Interior Savings Credit Union on Lansdowne Street and passed a note to the teller, demanding cash. He was given a small amount of money before fleeing on foot. Investigators tracked down a suspect five minutes after the call came in. The 23-year-old was allegedly in possession of the stolen money and the demand note.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Ajax Mine Project
Public Comment Period and Information Sessions KGHM Ajax Mining Inc. is proposing the construction and operation of the Ajax Mine Project, a copper-gold mine located near the city of Kamloops, British Columbia (B.C). The Project has an expected mine life of up to 23 years with a production capacity of approximately 60,000 tonnes of mineral ore per day. The Ajax Mine Project is subject to review under both the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Act and is undergoing a cooperative environmental assessment. Public Comment Period The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) are inviting the public to comment on revisions to the environmental assessment information requirements that result from changes to the mine plan for the Ajax Mine Project. The Agency and the EAO have recently revised the Application Information Requirements / Environmental Impact Statement Guidelines (AIR / EIS Guidelines) to reflect the proponent’s changes to the layout and design of the project. The AIR / EIS Guidelines provide direction regarding the studies, methods and information the proponent is required to include in the preparation of its Application / EIS document. The proponent’s Application / EIS will describe the new project design and layout, and provide the assessment results for the potential environmental, heritage, health, social, and economic effects of all phases of the project. The revised AIR / EIS Guidelines document is available online on the EAO’s website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. The revised AIR / EIS Guidelines and a summary of the document will be available on the Agency’s website, www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, as of November 18, 2014. Additional information regarding the environmental assessment process for the Project is available on either website. The public comment period is from November 18, 2014 to December 18, 2014. The Agency and the EAO accept public comments during that time submitted by any of the following means:

Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about the steps of the cooperative environmental assessment process. Next Steps The comments received during the comment period on the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines will be considered in the ongoing provincial and federal environmental assessments of the Ajax Mine Project, and will also be considered in finalizing the revised AIR / EIS Guidelines document.

n China, the communists had just massacred the students in Tiananmen Square and won themselves another quarter-century in power. On the other hand, the Poles voted overwhelmingly for Solidarity in June and, by September, Hungary had opened its border with the West. But, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 1989, that really opened the floodgates. I had been spending a lot of time in the old Soviet Union since 1987, when I visited Moscow after a five-year absence and found the place unrecognizable. People had lost their fear: In the kitchens and, sometimes in the streets, they were saying what they really thought. It was the first time I had gone to Russia without feeling I had left Planet Earth.
GWYNN DYER
World
WATCH I went home and told my friendly neighbourhood network something very big was going to happen. I didn’t know exactly what but, if they gave me a travel budget, I’d spend a couple of weeks in the Soviet bloc interviewing people every three months and when the big thing happened, I’d give them an instant radio series on it. Networks had more money and more nerve in those days, so they said yes. By 1989, I had kind of worked out what
was going to happen, but I didn’t know if it could all be done nonviolently. The signs were good — I had spent much of the summer in the Soviet Union and the first big demos had already happened peacefully in Moscow — but, where and when the dam would finally break was still anybody’s guess. Then, in early September, I flew from Moscow to Hungary for a quick look around. On the way into Budapest from the airport, the streets were full of abandoned East German cars, mostly pathetic Trabis any sensible person would abandon. But, still . . . The taxi driver explained Hungary had opened its border with Austria. East Germans were coming down in droves across the “fraternal” communist country of Czechoslovakia (no visa needed) to travel

onward to Austria and then to West Germany. So, I had the taxi take me up to the Young Pioneer Camp in the hills behind Buda that was serving as a transit camp. Every few minutes, a taxi would pull up and East Germans — usually a young couple — would get out. Every hour, an enormous coach would drive up and take them all off to the West. And, after an hour or so interviewing them as they arrived at the gate, I knew what was going to happen next. They didn’t see themselves as refugees fleeing to start a new life in the West. They were taking advantage of an opportunity to see the West and they’d be safe there if things went badly wrong in East Germany, but most fully expected to be home again, in a democratic East Germany, within a year. When I got on the plane home, I started writing a piece in which I compared East Germany’s communist regime to a Walt Disney character who had run off a cliff — but wouldn’t actually start to fall until he looked down. And, as soon as we landed, I booked a ticket back to Berlin for late October. I was just in time for a great party. What astonished everyone was the way the old system just rolled over and died. This amazing new technique of non-violent revolution had been working well in Asia since 1986 — the Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, Bangladesh — but taking down a communist regime seemed like a much more dangerous and doubtful enterprise, especially after Tiananmen Square. The party was so great because most people were enormously relieved it had been so easy. They were fed up to the back teeth with the petty-minded, boring communist bullies who dominated their lives and they were sick of being poor, but nobody wanted to
die in an old-fashioned revolution. Yet the communist ideology obliged the believers to launch a civil war rather than surrender power peacefully. So, when it turned out non-violence worked even against communists, at least in Europe, people quite rightly felt they had been very lucky. As a bonus, the threat of a nuclear world war went away. The old NATO alliance still trundles on a quarter-century later, picking up work wherever it can, but it has become the sound of one hand clapping. There were some problems later on in places like Romania and Russia, but it was a radical, amazingly peaceful revolution in a part of the world that was not best known for its ability to change peacefully. So, once the celebrations died down in Berlin, I rented a car and drove off to Warsaw to see how the new post-communist government was doing in Poland. I parked outside a government ministry and, while I was inside interviewing the minister, somebody broke into my car and stole my bag, including all the interview tapes from Berlin and the piece of the wall I was bringing home to my daughter. The soldiers marching back and forth inside the fence saw it happen, but pointed out stopping thieves was not their job. I reported the theft to the police for insurance purposes and explained to them that, if they spotted a welldressed man who was limping badly, it was probably the thief. The stolen bag contained the suit I wore for interviewing presidents, but I had mistakenly packed two left dress shoes with it. They didn’t laugh — they had been trained by the communists, after all — so I drove off down to Prague for the next revolution. gwynnedyer.com

Rationalizing what’s in the news
I
want to touch on a couple of items that have been in the news lately. First, there was the issue of a little girl not being allowed to wear a head scarf to Lloyd George elementary because she did not belong to any religion that required it. Our local school district has a policy in place regarding the wearing of head gear by students and it exempts students on the basis of their religion — or, should I say, the religion of their parents. To simply accept that, for some reason, religions should get special treatment when it comes to such issues is, of course, to actually single out those who do not subscribe to any of these ancient creations. The policy that prohibits the girl from wearing a head scarf seems quite reasonable, as were the explanations from the school. However, it should and must apply to all
students, regardless of gender, race or religion. Perhaps the student in question should have claimed exemption based on her religion, which is no religion. If there is a God, and I’m pretty sure there isn’t, I find it quite amusing he or she or it would concern itself with what one wears or does not wear on their head or, for that matter, what food one can eat and on which days and with whom one sleeps and in what position. I could go on with more examples of this kind of silliness, but I’ll spare you and just suggest you read the Bible. Secondly, I feel it necessary to comment on the media and political hysteria surrounding the shooting of a soldier in Ottawa. As we now know, this individual was nothing more than a victim of mental illness who, it turns out, was known to police and had a criminal record. Indeed, he may have been motivated
BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS by religious beliefs, as many such people are; however, he was not connected to any socalled terrorist group, nor could this incident be considered a terrorist attack. Our federal government has been attempting to provoke such an incident for many years and, in fact, right after this so-called attack, the Conservative government passed a bill that attacks our privacy and freedom. This was an extremely tragic event and, of course, our hearts go out to the victim’s family, but is

this any reason to turn Can Canada into a police stat state? L Let’s keep in mind Can Canada has now joined th neverending war in the in the th Middle East, a war that has been raging for some 13 years, with no victories and no end e in sight. T only beneficiaThe ries of such mayhem are of the military industrial complex. Do Canadians really want to expend billions on bombing religious fanatics and, inevitably, killing civilians on the other side of the planet, while cutting benefits to veterans’ pensions and closing veterans’ affairs offices at home? It’s obvious to me our government really doesn’t care about soldiers or veterans, except when they are politically useful. Unfortunately, the soldier killed in Ottawa has been used by a government that seems bent on turning us into the United States. I fear this will not be the last incident of this kind but, next time, it
might actually be a terrorist attack. Are you willing to be the victim of such an attack? During the incident on Parliament Hill, our prime minister hid in
a broom closet and, frankly, so would I. Then again, I haven’t sent hundreds of young Canadians to their deaths and rendered hundreds more injured for life to make a point
that seems increasingly hard to grasp. Bill Ligertwood is director of the Kamloops Centre for Rational Thought, which can be found online at kcfrt.com.

COMMUNITY NOT NUTS FOR THIS TREAT
KTW photographer Allen Douglas captured this shot of a robin that hatched in his yard this past summer. The robin stood patiently behind a couple of young Steller’s jays about his age who dropped by for a peanut. The young robin decided to see what the jays were so excited about and tried a peanut. He grabbed it, crunched it and spit it out right away — and gave Douglas a decidedly dirty look.

A NUTTY EXCURSION

here is no better place to feel like a nut than the Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park in West Kelowna. This nutty story started in 1900 when the Gellatly family purchased more than 120 hectares of land on Kelowna’s West bank. They moved the family from the Fintry area, where David Gellatly Sr. was a successful farmer who shipped the Okanagan’s
first railcar of potatoes to the Kootenays and earned the nickname “Tomato King”. David’s sons, David Jr. and Jack, were passionate about importing many different kinds of trees in order to develop new kinds of nuts that could withstand the cold Okanagan winters. Together they created about 58 varieties, working mostly with hazelnuts, filberts, walnuts, chestnuts and butternuts. Jack lived and worked at the farm until he passed away in 1969 at the age of 86. Afterwards, his
How to get there Travel to the community of West Kelowna located south of Kelowna. In Westbank, from Highway 97, turn south onto Gellatly Road. Continue down the road to the heritage park. Further down the road is the entrance to the Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park. The park is open from 6 a.m. to dusk year-round.
brother, Bill, took over operations of the farm. The farm has since been turned into a regional park but it is still a working farm that harvest nuts each year from September to November. The nut farm is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during harvest in late September to early November. Stroll amongst the nut trees
along the series of short trails that bring you to the original Gellatly family home and barn, built in 1905, the Lakeshore Cottage, built in the 1920s, a children’s play area, a wedding arbour and various other heritage buildings and articles collected over the years. The walking trails are easy grade and wheelchair accessible,
with sitting benches to relax and admire the beautiful surroundings. The park trails lead down to the shores of Okanagan Lake, where you can cool off in the water during hot summer months. The park is maintained by the Gellatly Nut Farm Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the 100-year-old orchard and trees
in perpetuity. Some nutty facts: • Studies have shown those who include nuts as part of their diets are slimmer than those who don’t. • Historically, almonds are mentioned 73 times in the Old Testament and the branch of the almond tree was used as the staff of the Pope. • The walnut tree is very hardy and is 15 years old before reaching full production. The average tree produces for 45 years. • Perhaps a true royal nut, the Queen of Sheba loved pistachios. In fact, she demand-
ed the entire region’s pistachio harvest be set aside for her. • In America, pistachios were once dyed red to disguise shell imperfections and make the nuts stand out in vending machines. • Like popcorn, a chestnut is a closed shell with moisture trapped inside. When heated, the moisture can forcefully pop the nut open. When cooking chestnuts, always slit the shell first to allow the steam pressure to escape. Otherwise, the nut will burst with a small explosion.

This photo of terrain on Gil’s was taken just after Sun Peaks Resort received early-season snowfall on Oct. 24. The area is no longer considered out of bounds, with the resort having incorporated Gil’s for the 2014-2015 winter season, which is set to begin on Nov. 22.
Gil’s breathes new life into Sun Peaks MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Redefining its boundaries, Sun Peaks Resort has incorporated 500 acres of new terrain with the addition of Gil’s, located on the upper reaches of Tod Mountain. “Locals have long been familiar with the terrain and most will describe it as the best snow on the mountain,” said Christopher Nicolson, president of Tourism Sun Peaks. “It comes the earliest and it’s typically the deepest.”
Gil’s has for decades provided backcountry turns for skiers and riders. Increased safety measures should offer a new sense of security. “When the avalanche forecasters and controllers have done their work in the morning, then the gate opens and that’s how Gil’s will work,” Nicolson said. “There have been professional avalanche forecasters brought onto staff over the last couple of years and they’ve been monitoring slide areas and building snowpack history, studying where
the wind blows snow and where the hazards are, a database.” Much of Gil’s — named after Gil Marini, one of the resort’s founders — and new runs on West Morrisey will be catered to experienced skiers and riders, who have been petitioning the resort for more advanced terrain. Already the secondlargest ski area in B.C., Sun Peaks, with the new additions, now ranks second in Canada, growing to 1,728 hectares (4,270
acres) of in-bound ski terrain for the 20142015 winter season. With more than 3,237 hectares (8,000 acres), Whistler is first in both categories. The three main chairlifts at Sun Peaks — Sunburst, Sundance and Morrisey — started churning last year on Nov. 23, with 50 centimetres of snow in the week leading up to Nov. 20 having brought the mid-mountain base to 70 centimetres. As of yesterday (Nov. 12), there were 25 centimetres at midmountain, but ideal
snowmaking temperatures have the resort on schedule to open on Saturday, Nov. 22. Race teams from across the globe will start skiing at Sun Peaks next week. “It’s an exciting time for us,” Nicolson said. “In Gil’s, the trees help retain snow and block wind. It’s just fun from a skiing perspective, like a playground. “Being able to go into that terrain with the confidence that avalanche forecasters and professionals have control in that area is very exciting.”
et’s get rid of the shootout and replace it with 3-on-
3 overtime. Gimmicky, maybe, but at least there’s still hockey being played — extremely entertaining, end-to-end puck — and it’s less contrived than a shootout. Breakaways will still feature and we’ll get the added bonus of watching a ton of odd-man rushes, 2-on-0s and even 3-on-0s. My ideal format to break a hockey tie: 4-on4 for five minutes and, if that doesn’t do the trick, 3-on-3 until the lamp is lit. The American Hockey League adopted this format in July: Seven minutes of OT — 4-on-4 for at least three minutes, then 3-on-3 for the remainder, beginning at the first stoppage after the three-minute mark — before going to a shootout. The frequency of shootouts has decreased dramatically. After 171 games this season, there had been only five shootouts in the AHL. For more numbers and insight on the matter, go online and read columns by Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo and James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail. This topic has long been discussed, but it’s resurfaced in a big way this month — even the boys at ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, hardly

a hockey-centric show, dedicated part of a segment to the issue. Goodnight, Canada. You can be sure the NHL is examining closely what’s happening in the AHL, a longtime lab animal for rule changes in The Show. Just imagine Toews, Kane and Keith versus Hank, Dank and Vrbata. There are at least two people — Ryan Miller and Corey Crawford — who’d rather not picture that nightmare and a host of hockey traditionalists who will hate the idea, but I’m all for it. Yup, you could question the Canucks’ strategy there. Is it prudent to go with three offensive-minded forwards? Should you throw a D-man in the mix? What about here in Kamloops? You can’t tell me it wouldn’t be fun to watch Ully, Sideroff and Connolly of the Blazers throw down against Merkley, Chartier and Bowey of the Rockets with the game on the line. Let the debates and free-flowing hockey rage on.

SPORTS BLUE WAVE ROLLING
The Westsyde Blue Wave’s defensive line prepares for an all-out assault on Valleyview Vikings’ quarterback Jordan Durning in the Warner Rentals Friday Night Lights game at Westsyde on Oct. 17. Weststyde won 38-6 and proved itself to be the best senior high-school football team in Kamloops this season. The Blue Wave, the only River City team from the Okanagan AA Varsity Conference to qualify for the playoffs, knocked off Prince George 48-17 in post-season play at Hillside Stadium on Friday, Nov. 7. In their Round 2 matchup, Westsyde will play the hometown Ballenas Whalers on Saturday, Nov. 15. The Blue Wave, who have put together their best season in about 20 years, leave tomorrow (Nov. 14) for Vancouver Island. Read KTW tomorrow for more on Westsyde’s impressive season. The Vikings and South Kamloops Titans failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Ticats, Als on fire
S
omeone should check the Hamilton TigerCats and Montreal Alouettes for performance-enhancing something. Hamilton had a 1-6 record at the end of August. They zoomed to an 8-3 record in their last 11. The Alouettes were 1-7 on Aug. 22. They went 8-2 down the stretch. Today, with the Grey Cup game being less than two weeks away, who would bet against either team to win it all? Migawd, there’s hopes for the Cubs yet. What’s next? A Stanley Cup parade in Buffalo? When the Grey Cup is played Nov. 30 in Vancouver, not only might the Ticats or Als be one of the competing teams, they might be favoured. Two months ago, that would have been laughable. The Canadian Football League standings were somewhat of a joke in mid-August, with not a single Eastern Conference team even remotely close to .500. More than a few CFL experts suggested the league’s ‘crossover’ playoff system would likely lead to two Western Conference teams playing in this year’s Grey Cup game. But, when the leaves began to turn colour, the Ticats and Als started to look like the Green Bay Packers of the 1960s. Kent Austin in Hamilton and Tom Higgins in Montreal were suddenly coaching like Vince Lombardi.
BRUCE PENTON And, don’t think those down-thestretch records were only because they were feeding on the other East weaklings. Hamilton went 4-0 against Western teams in September and October, while the Alouettes were 3-0. While the Als are getting decent seasons out of quarterback Jonathan Crompton and 1,000-yard receiver Duron Carter, their overall offence was last in the league. Their success is due to their defence, a stout fourth overall. Hamilton has been riding the strong arm of Zach Collaros on the road to respectability and when they won a crucial 29-15 game over the Alouettes to finish the regular season, they ascended almost miraculously to first place and a bye into the Eastern final. One more win for Hamilton at Tim Hortons Field, where they were 6-0 in their first season at the new stadium, and they’ll make a second consecutive trip to the CFL Classic. After a 1-6 record to start the season, that’s almost a miracle.

Top-prospect McDavid to see specialist STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Junior hockey phenom Connor McDavid was scheduled to see a specialist yesteday (Nov.12) afternoon, as the Erie Otters hope to get more information about the hand injury that has knocked him out of the lineup indefinitely. The 17-year-old centre, who is expected to be the top pick in June’s NHL draft, was injured Tuesday night after hitting his right hand on the top of the boards during a fight with
FORWARD’S STATUS FOR UPCOMING WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP, ERIE OTTERS SEASON STILL UNKNOWN Mississauga’s Bryson Cianfrone. McDavid reportedly fractured a small bone in his hand. An Otters spokesman said he hoped to have an update on McDavid’s condition later in the day. Depending on the severity of the injury, McDavid’s availability for the upcoming world junior championship could be in doubt.
Canada’s world junior camp takes place from Dec. 11 to Dec. 15 in Toronto and the team plays its first game on Dec. 26 in Montreal against Slovakia. Reached by phone at his hotel in Regina, Sask., Canadian world junior coach Benoit Groulx said it’s too early to know about McDavid’s status for that tournament. He

said Hockey Canada would stay in touch with the Otters and continue to monitor the situation “There is several weeks before world juniors, so it’s too early to know,” Groulx said. “We hope that he’ll be able to be there, but I don’t have that answer yet.” Groulx said this isn’t the first time the program has dealt with an uncertain injury situation. At the Olympic level, Hockey Canada wasn’t sure if Steven Stamkos would play in Sochi after he broke his leg a year to the day of McDavid’s injury. McDavid was set to play for Team OHL in
Thursday’s Super Series game in Peterborough, Ont., but was removed from the roster as expected. His longterm prognosis for the world-junior tournament is the bigger question. “Is this bad timing for Hockey Canada? It is,” Groulx said. “We’ll see how it plays out.” In an interview on TSN 1050 in Toronto, Otters owner and general manager Sherry Bassin said X-rays taken after the game were not definitive enough. Bassin said the specialist would be looking at a “tiny” bone in McDavid’s hand but voiced some optimism. “We’re hoping it won’t be too long,” Bassin said. McDavid leads the Ontario Hockey League with 16 goals and 35 assists in just 18
games this season. The Otters lead the Western Conference with a 16-10-1 record. His injury ignited debate around hockey about whether star players should be fighting. Don Cherry said on Global News “There’s no way (McDavid) should’ve ever been fighting,” adding that when he coached the Boston Bruins he wouldn’t allow Brad Park to drop the gloves. Current Boston coach Claude Julien said McDavid would have been praised for fighting had he not been hurt. “I don’t think this is a guy that goes out and does it all the time,” Julien said at the Bruins’ morning skate before their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. “Those things are going to happen, unfortu-
nately. For a guy like him, he’s trying to show that he’ll do whatever it takes to be a help to his hockey club.” Leafs centre Nazem Kadri, himself a top prospect in the OHL a few years ago, knows what it’s like to get targeted as a result. He called McDavid’s injury a “freak accident.” “Obviously it’s unfortunate that that happened,” Kadri said. “Good for him for standing up for himself . . . You don’t like to see it, but there’s that compete level, especially in every young star, that enough’s enough and you’re sick and tired of getting abused.” McDavid’s injury hurts the Otters in the immediate future and could put a dent in Canada’s chances of ending its world-junior gold-medal drought.
SENTENCING DELAYED FOR BIOGENESIS OWNER THE CANADIAN PRESS
MIAMI — The former owner of the South Florida clinic that supplied performance-enhancing substances to Major League Baseball players will get more drug rehabilitation. Yesterday (Nov. 12), a federal judge agreed to delay sentencing for Anthony Bosch
from Dec. 18 to Feb. 17. Bosch lawyer Guy Lewis says Bosch needs a second phase of treatment for his admitted cocaine addiction. Bosch pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to distribute testosterone to MLB players and others from the now-closed Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables. Among the cus-
tomers was New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, who was suspended for the entire 2014 season. Bosch faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence but will likely get less because of his co-operation in the Biogenesis investigation. Rodriguez cousin Yuri Sucart, and others, are facing trial.
FIFA ethics committee to release statement on Russia, Qatar World Cups ZURICH, Switzerland — FIFA says its ethics committee chairman will release a statement today (Thursday, Nov. 13) on the investigation into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. FIFA says ethics chief HansJoachim Eckert will issue a state-

But Eckert has ruled that out. His statement will contain “an overview of the investigation report, a summary of the main findings, conclusions and recommendations of the report, as well as a brief evaluation of the same.” — The Canadian Press

Minister promises more child-protection workers STEPHANIE CADIEUX SAYS 200 WILL BE ADDED DURING NEXT TWO YEARS TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS

B.C.’s struggling child protection service will be strengthened by the addition of 200 more social worker and support staff positions over the next two years, according to Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux. The announcement comes after the union representing staff issued a report saying they continue to deal with excessive workload and staff shortages due to high staff turnover, unfilled positions and budget cuts. Cadieux said the additional staff and centralizing of child protection intake screening is a response to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGU) report and previous
critical reports by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond. The BCGEU estimates 80 per cent of social workers have more than the recommended 20 cases, with nearly half carrying more than 30 and some reporting caseloads of 70 or more. Cadieux said 70 auxiliary employees are being made permanent immediately, mostly in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and the target is to bring the total to 200 new positions by the end of 2016. “We’ve heard the concerns of our staff about their workload, about their inability to do all of the things that they feel are necessary,” Cadieux said. NDP children and family critic Doug Donaldson said help is still far away for rural

and northern communities, where recruiting and retaining staff is most difficult. He said the Smithers ministry office has seen 100 per cent turnover of child protection staff in the last three years. “It’s really good that the government has finally woken up, six
years after the child representative said that staffing issues and turnover issues need to be addressed,” Donaldson said. A mobile-response team is being expanded to help offices with long-standing vacancies cope while new staff is recruited and trained.
Cadieux said the ministry budget has increased by about $47 million since 2008, with another increase set for next year. Adjusting office hours and doing more administrative work online or by phone allows the ministry to focus its resources on face-to-face services,

DAVID FREDERICK BROADFOOT “FRED” October 25, 1921 – October 31, 2014 Fred passed away peacefully at the age of 93. He was predeceased by Edie, his beloved wife of 70 years. He is survived by his daughter Carol (Tom) and sons Doug (Colleen), Glen (Helen), grandchildren: Adam, Terra, Amy, Darren, Christine and great-grandchildren: Noah, Meghan, Ryan, Jayden and Luke who all lovingly cherish his memory.
JEANNE LUCIE MARIE PETHYBRIDGE May 28, 1927 – October 31, 2014
January 5, 1948 October 24, 2014
Fred was born in Winnipeg. He and Edie met when he was 17 and it was love at first sight. They were married May 1, 1943 and he considered her to be his greatest inspiration throughout his life. Fred was a WWII Veteran and enlisted in the RCAF in 1942; he served overseas with the rank of Flying Officer with “Snowy Owl Squadron 420”. His plane was shot down in March 1945 and he was a POW for 33 days. Although wounded, happily he returned home safely. In 1945 Fred and Edie moved to Vancouver and Fred began his 29 year career as a Postal Officer. He later transferred to Kamloops and retired to Chase in 1977. Fred and Edie shared many wonderful adventures and travels together. They shared a love of nature and the outdoors. Fred enjoyed fishing and perfected the art of fly tying. He loved canoeing and he and Edie paddled many of the rivers and lakes of BC, including the Bowron Lakes Chain. In the early days in Winnipeg they would take their canoe “Dinah “along with a gramophone and a brick of ice cream for a day of paddling. During those days they would spend time at Grande Beach where one of the highlights was dancing to the Big Bands. Fred also enjoyed hunting, camping, oil painting, wine making and traveling; he especially liked Mexico for its culture and its people. He built the family cabin at Heffley Lake where we spent many wonderful times with family and friends. He also built bird houses for the Swallows in Chase and looked forward to their return each year. He had a real affinity for animals and although he didn’t have the opportunity to do it often enough, he loved horseback riding. Dad’s greatest love was for his family and spending time with us. He made us all feel cherished. He was renowned for his wonderful warm, loving “bear hugs”. He taught us to always respect and love one another.
Dad we love you so much and will miss you dearly. We take comfort in knowing you and Mum are together again. Celebration of life will be held at their home for the family November 15, 2014.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Stuart Wood again a topic DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Coming just weeks after the end of a teachers’ strike and hours after officially ordering the close of Stuart Wood elementary, a public forum for school-board candidates had the potential to be filled with fireworks. However, the event in the Mountain Room at Thompson Rivers University on Monday, Nov. 10, saw each candidate say “No� when asked by the head of a downtown residents’ association if they would reopen the public-input process if elected. Earlier that day, the Downtown and West End Residents’ Association (DWERA) filed a petition in the Supreme Court of B.C., in a bid to stop Kamloops-Thompson trustees from holding a special meeting later that day to pass a bylaw to order the school’s closure at the end of the school year in June 2016. Bruce Thomson, acting chairman of DWERA, pointed out to the 15 candidates they had all introduced themselves as people who feel communication is important. “I’ve been listening to you all talking about listening and we tried to talk to the district about ways to find money to renovate Stuart Wood, but our experience was frustrating,� he said. While all trustee candidates said they would not re-open the
Stuart Wood issue, candidate Bowen Cooluris tempered his response by saying he’d like to look into the reasons for the closure, noting — as did most rookie candidates — he wasn’t privy to the details behind the decision, a viewpoint with which candidate Colin Madland agreed. Incumbent Kathleen Karpuk, however, was frank. “I have a four-inchthick binder of feedback from the consultation we received from the public,� she said, referring to the period from early November 2013, when the process for input began, to June 9 of this year, the deadline for comment. The forum, cosponsored by the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association and the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), included prepared questions posed by moderator Wilson Bell. One addressed labour relations between the district and its unionized employees. Incumbents Gerald Watson and Joan Cowden said one of the biggest hurdles is the reality the major issue for the teachers’ union is its fight with the provincial government over what can and cannot be bargained, a dispute
that remains at the centre of a court case between the two sides. Candidate Colleen DeVeyrac said she would emphasize trustees support teachers during future bargaining, while candidate Aaron Shufletoski said teachers should have the right to self-regulate. Council candidate Denis Walsh, who was DWERA chairman until he announced his candidacy on Oct. 10, asked trustee candidates if they believed in term limits. While all said they didn’t agree, candidate Joe Small got off perhaps the best reply when he suggested Walsh ask incumbent councillor Pat Wallace, who has been on city council for 27 years and is seeking another term, while incumbent trustee Meghan Wade noted voters ultimately control how many terms anyone serves. John Hall, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 3500 – which represents support, clerical, maintenance and technology staff, along with educational assistants, in the KamloopsThompson school district — noted only three candidates had acknowledged his members when they talked about relations with staff.

He asked what each would do to improve morale in the district. Candidate Michael Carroll, continuing his thread that schools should be open longer to provide day care and other activities for children, said if people used schools more, they would care about them more, while fellow candidate Madland added: “The first person you should get to know in your school is the one pushing the broom.�
Forum notes
In response to a question on how each would use their professional relationships to deal with concerns from the public, candidate Christy Campbell said she would stay calm, be compassionate and “really listen and find mutual understanding,� while fellow candidate Adam Jensen stressed his strong community roots and communication skills. Candidate Don Kitt stressed his years of involvement with DPAC and the parentadvisory committee at his son’s school. Talking about inclusion, candidate Christine Watson said it’s important to work the communities, while Madland said difference is necessary. Cooluris talked about the specialneeds people he and his teacher-wife work with and DeVeyrac said inclusion is necessary as it teaches acceptance. Campbell, Small and Shufletoski talked about the need to ensure classrooms have the resources to deal with inclusion and Jensen spoke on how inclusion enriches the educational experience. Gerald Watson said schools should be home to inclusion and safe spaces. Added Cowden, a longtime teacher: “We believe in it. We practise it.“We believe in it. It’s why I like public education.�

Arts forum gets emotional SHOUTING MATCH ENSUES AT ART WE ARE ELECTION EVENT ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A debate on the state of Kamloops’ arts and cultural scene turned into a shouting match in the Art We Are on Thursday, Nov. 6. Hosted by the Kamloops Arts Council and Kamloops Vote 50, the debate packed the Victoria Street cafe and drew all of this year’s city hall hopefuls, save for incumbent Mayor Peter Milobar and former councillor Nancy Bepple. Much of the early evening served as a love-in for a new performing-arts centre and the city’s artists in general. Most candidates gave at least tentative support to the project, with some cautions about responsible use of tax dollars and the need for broad community support. The evening got a major jolt of energy when councillor candidate Glenn Hilke posed a question of his own during the debate, asking incumbent councillors why artists can’t have studios that are open to the pub-
lic, and potential buyers, in their homes. Coun. Tina Lange told Hilke there’s no reason an artist can’t set up shop in their home, but noted they need business licences and must apply for a rezoning from the city if they want to conduct retail sales.
If I’m a “potter,
why do I have to be rezoned as a factory?
�
“Just like a hairdresser who works out of her house, his house, as well, it would be a sitespecific rezoning allowing people to to come to your home,� Lange said. Hilke argued artists should not be required to go through what he said is a lengthy, bureaucratic process.
“If I’m a potter, why do I have to be rezoned as a factory?� he asked. That’s what I was told by a potter in town.� After several moments of back-and-forth shouting between a number of candidates, Coun. Arjun Singh said the city requires the rezoning so neighbours have a chance to air their concerns about businesses. “So, we put a potter by your house,� Singh said, “and the potter has a lot of people parking, people coming and going all the time.� “No,� Hilke interrupted, only to be interrupted himself by calls of “let him finish� from other candidates and crowd members. “What you’re basically saying is you want a potter in place, but not any consideration of your neighbours,� Singh said, before asking Hilke how many public hearings on rezoning he had ever attended. Moderator Will George from Kamloops Vote 50 stepped in shortly after, asking candidates to move on to a new question about their own interest and participation in the arts.

Seniors’ centre debated at candidates forum ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Does Kamloops need a public-funded seniors’ centre? The question popped up from candidates and audience members at a senior citizens’ forum at Desert Gardens on Monday, Nov. 10, that brought out approximately 100 older voters. Candidate Alexandra Proctor was among the
first to raise the issue of a new centre at the debate, with a call to keep the McArthur Island Youth Centre open after it is vacated by the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club. The building, which has also been home to various seniors’ sporting groups, is slated for demolition. The Kamloops Youth Soccer Association is eyeing the spot for a new indoorsoccer facility. “I was taught when
something is broken, you don’t throw it away, you fix it,� Proctor said, arguing the centre only needs $100,000 in repairs to fix its aging roof, making it cheaper to keep than to demolish it at a cost of $400,000. Mayor Peter Milobar raised questions about Proctor’s numbers, however, citing a city review of the building putting renovation costs closer to $1 million. He said required
upgrades include a new heating and ventilation system, washroom upgrades and other fixes. Proctor said she thinks most of the city’s repairs are either unnecessary or aren’t needed at this time, other than the $100,000 for a new roof. Asked by the audience whether they would support a city-funded centre, other candidates were split on the issue. Dustin McIntyre said he wants to see a facil-
ity for “active seniors,� which would have room for pickleball and other sports, as well as community meeting space. “It wouldn’t just be a gymnasium, it would be a place where seniors can meet and learn, a community centre,� he said. Glen Thompson called it “shocking� the city does not have a publicly funded centre and said a centre would be a top priority for him.

“I would put it above the road to the airport and above a performingarts centre,� he said. That had Tina Lange defending the city’s efforts for seniors. “We have great seniors’ centres in this city. We’re in one right now,� she said, adding she does want to see the city find space for an indoor pickleball court. Peter Kerek said his concern is financial barriers that may keep some seniors from using facilities designed for
them, which could be addressed in a public facility. Cheryl Phippen said she wants to see money spent on more city sidewalks. “We have seniors like my parents who do not walk in our community because it’s not safe,� she said. Candidates also answered questions about the proposed Ajax mine, the city’s new downtown parking stations and making Kamloops age-friendly.
PAY PARKING PANNED BY MOST The city’s downtown parking meters were a hot topic at a seniors’ forum at Desert Gardens, with both incumbents and challengers panning the new, digital pay stations introduced by the city last fall. But, while many city council candidates explained why the meters haven’t worked, only candidate Nancy Bepple discussed potential fixes for the issue. Bepple said she’s spoken to city administration about the meters and believes staff has a plan in place to improve some of their most notable issues, including new coloured screens for the pay stations, which will be easier to read. KTW reached out to other candidates who spoke on the pay-station issue, to ask them what they would do to improve the downtown parking situation: • Tanja Hasler wants to see the city add more 15-minute express parking stalls downtown and speak with the kiosk contractor to see if there is any way to speed up the machines. She also wants more speed put behind plans for a new parkade and a three-year freeze on parking rates as the city explores its options. • Arjun Singh wants to keep working with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), which lobbied for the kiosks, to improve common issues — screen readability, speed and the like. He also wants to see if the company can change the machine software so users input how much time they want to buy before they start putting money in the meters. • Glenn Hilke would like to see if the city can opt out of its contract for the new pay stations and revert to its old coin-operated meter system, assuming it does not cost the city more money and does not impact the amount of revenue it makes from meters. • Donovan Cavers wants the city to have a designated staffer downtown merchants can call if there is an issue with the machines, rather than having to route their complaints through the KCBIA. He also wants the city to negotiate harder with its contractor to lower the processing fee for customers paying by cellphone and to replace the kiosk screens with the new coloured models as quickly as possible. • Brad Harrison is not sure what the city can do to fix them, beyond small improvements such as clearer screens, but wishes the city had done a pilot program with the meters, instead of rolling them out across the city. • Glen Thompson would like to see if it’s possible for the city to remove the meters altogether, as Vernon and Burnaby have done, if the cost is right. He also wants to see the city form a small-business committee, which could take suggestions from merchants on how to improve the kiosks. • Marg Spina wants a list brought to council of all potential improvements that could be made to the machines, and at what cost, as well as a look at the financial implications of getting rid of, or possibly selling, the kiosks to another community.

TNRD candidate: Pony up, KM STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Noting the municipality of Barriere extracted nearly $300,000 in promises from Kinder Morgan, an Thompson-Nicola Regional District candidate from a neighbouring rural area said the Black Pines subdivision near Kamloops should get in on the action. Mel Rothenburger, the former Kamloops mayor running for election in TNRD Area P, said the corporation behind the proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline “should ante up for a major contribution toward the cost of a $1.3-million upgrade to TNRD’s Black Pines water system.� Rothenburger said twinning of the pipeline, which must receive approval from the National Energy Board, will have a dramatic impact on
tance with the local water system. “We’ve been in touch with KinderMorgan,� Sternig said. If local electors approve the proposed $1.35-million intake in a vote later this year or in early 2015, Sternig said it’s possible construction on both lines could occur at the same time, noting it would provide opportunity to utilize Kinder Morgan’s contracted crews through an agreement. “There won’t be an intake if Black Pines doesn’t pass it,� Sternig warned, noting the regional district has applied to the Building Canada fund for $900,000 toward the $1.35-million cost of a new intake. He said the regional district believes the intake will eventually run dry due to a migrating sand island on the North Thompson River. “In another three to

The municipality of Barriere and Kinder Morgan have announced a memorandum of understanding that will see about $290,000 worth of cash and work awarded to the municipality if the twinning project is approved. It follows a motion by the district municipality’s council last month to support the proposal, which will not travel through the North Thompson town about 45 minutes northeast of Kamloops.

Suspects in attack on teen face new charges CHINTA PUXLEY
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — Police have charged two young men with a pair of violent sexual assaults, including one on an aboriginal teenage girl, and say they will take a closer look at whether the suspects had anything to do with the death of another First Nations teen in the summer. The two suspects, who are 20 and 17, face several charges, including attempted murder, in the attack on 16-year-old Grade 11 student Rinelle Harper, who was beaten on Friday night (Nov. 7) and left for dead on a walking trail along the Assiniboine River in
downtown Winnipeg. They also face aggravated sexual-assault charges in a second attack that same night on a 23-year-old woman. Police Supt. Danny Smyth said the two will come under closer scrutiny as police continue to look for 15-year-old Tina Fontaine’s killer. Her body was wrapped in plastic and dumped in the Red River in August. Her death has renewed calls for a federal inquiry on missing and murdered aboriginal women. “We don’t have any information right now that would suggest these men were involved with the Tina
Fontaine investigation,’’ Smyth told a news conference yesterday (Nov. 12). “That being said, we really had little, if any, contact with these men before this. We will certainly take a closer look at them now.’’ Police say Rinelle was out with friends Friday night when she became separated from her group. She met two males who struck up a conversation with her, Smyth said. The three of them walked to the Assiniboine River, where the girl was attacked and ended up in the frigid water. “Rinelle managed to crawl out of the river a short distance away
upstream and she was attacked a second time . . . and left unconscious and essentially left for dead on the riverwalk,’’ Smyth said. She was found by a passerby the next morning and was taken to hospital in critical condition. She has been upgraded to stable and her family says she is recovering. Police say the second woman was attacked a short time later. Again, the attackers struck up a conversation with the woman and then turned on her in an alley near a public pool, Smyth said. She was sexually assaulted, beaten with a weapon and left

unconscious. Police were called shortly before dawn. Justin James Hudson, 20, along with a 17-year-old male who can’t be named, are charged with attempted murder, aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon. Court documents show Hudson pleaded guilty to drug possession in October and was fined $200. He is also facing charges laid in August of possessing stolen property. Rinelle is originally from the Garden Hill First Nation and has been living in Winnipeg for two years while attending Southeast Collegiate. The high school for aboriginal students issued a statement saying staff and students
are “trying to come to terms with this horrific assault on one of our own.’’ The school said Rinelle, like any other student, was looking forward to a long weekend after completing her mid-terms. She left the collegiate with her parents Friday “for a much deserved rest,’’ the statement said. “We are extremely thankful of the remarkable progress she has made since Saturday. “We are wishing her a speedy recovery and hope she returns to school soon.’’ Victims of sexual assault are not usually identified, but police took the step of releasing Rinelle’s name, with the permission of her parents, to “humanize’’ her and to ask for any-
one with information related to her attack to come forward,” Smyth said, noting the public response was overwhelming. Police were also able to watch surveillance video from a number of cameras in the area, he said. “Some of the camera footage was used to piece together the timeline.’’ Fontaine had been in the city less than a month and had run away from foster care. Her body, wrapped in plastic, was found in the Red River on Aug. 17, just over a week after she had been reported missing. Police haven’t said how she died, but are treating her death as a homicide. No arrests have been made.

The size of the 100-kilogram Philae lander, which was named for an island in the Nile, has been compared to a small fridge. “I’m really proud of our team,’’ SED business manager Denis Sirois said
The MFLNRO file number for this application is 3412923. Written comments concerning this application should be directed to the Senior Land Officer, Thompson Okanagan, MFLNRO, at 441 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T3.
just hours after Philae touched down on the odd-shaped comet, which is about four kilometres wide. “It’s kind of a testament to our capabilities for a small company (250 employees) out here on the Prairies.’’ SED’s three tracking stations are located in Australia, Spain and Argentina. Sirois went on the Internet to watch the ecstatic reaction of scientists at the European Space Operations control room in Darmstadt, Germany. He could only imagine what they were thinking. “A lot of these scientists and mission planners spent a good portion of their careers working on this, so for them it’s practically like their child,’’ he said. The Rosetta spacecraft was more than 500 million kilometres away from Earth when it released its Philae lander. That’s more than 1,000 times the distance between Earth and the moon.

‘EVERY BOX IS IMPORTANT’ JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
H
allie MacDonald wanted to keep Operation Christmas Child going in Kamloops. She knows the importance of the annual international campaign — which sees shoeboxes of goodies sent overseas to children in need — having been part of the delivery earlier this year in the African county of Senegal. She spent a week there in July as part of a group of 20 or so volunteers, all picked to surprise children with toys, school supplies, hygiene products and candy. “It was amazing,� MacDonald said. She remembers the look
on one girl’s face when she opened the box to find a big lollipop, before having a taste and sharing it with her sister. She remembers a little boy confused to find a recorder inside his box, having never seen the musical instrument before. “Every box is important,� MacDonald said. “You don’t know what difference it will play in a child’s life.� The experience inspired MacDonald to lead this year’s campaign in Kamloops after the previous organizer moved away. “I just didn’t want it to fall off in Kamloops,� MacDonald said. “Especially when we were up to 2,800 boxes [last year]. That’s a really good number.� She’s hoping to match that
number, despite it being her first time spearheading the cause locally. Fifteen-year-old Jaylene de Vries is helping MacDonald get the word out. She started putting together boxes in Sunday school when she was three and has been doing it ever since. Boxes are tailored to boys and girls of different ages and are collected between Nov. 17 and Nov. 22, to be sent to the head office of the Christian organization behind it all — Samaritan’s Purse — in Calgary. A sample box for a girl includes a toothbrush, pencil crayons, scissors, notepads, dolls, beads and suckers. De Vries and her mother include their own special touch each year — a harmonica,
“It’s just an easy instrument,� de Vries said. “And, it’s small and it doesn’t take up that much room.� De Vries is hoping to one day be selected for the delivery trip, which takes place year round beginning at Christmas. “It just feels great to give back,� de Vries said. Boxes collected from Western Canada will be sent to Central America this year. The campaign is also pushing to send an extra 20,000 boxes to Ukraine. Boxes can be picked up from participating businesses in Kamloops and returned to them full of goodies, or to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 1136 Sixth Ave. For more information or to send a box digitally, go online to samaritanspurse.ca.
Pick up a box and return it full by Nov. 21 to these Kamloops businesses: • Gord’s Maytag, 948 Tranquille Rd. • B.C. Wildlife Park (return full boxes for free child’s entry pass), 9077 Dallas Dr. • Big O Tires, 160 Leigh Rd. • Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, 615 Victoria St. • Dollar Tree locations in North Hills Shopping Centre, 700 Tranquille Rd., and Sahali Centre Mall, 945 Columbia St. • Your Dollar Store with More locations, 1210 Summit Dr. and 7-750 Fortune Dr. • Embellish Esthetic Lounge, 426 Victoria St. • Flight Centre, 1210 Summit Dr. • HUB Barton Insurance, 299 Third Ave., 111 Oriole Rd. and 750 Fortune Dr. • Smith Chev Olds, 950 Notre Dame Dr. • Kamloops Hyundai, 948 Notre Dame Dr. • Lizzie Bits Baby Co., 665 Victoria St. You can also return filled boxes to the collection centre at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 1136 Sixth Ave., Nov. 17 to Nov. 22, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. or with an appointment, by calling Hallie MacDonald at 250-318-8035. t WEEK )NTENSIVE #ONDITIONING 0ROGRAM t MINUTE ON 4RAINING 3ESSIONS t $ESIGNED TO IMPROVE ¹EXIBILITY AND STRENGTH

be rocking it out and I’m loving it.” While Hilliard has a voice somewhat akin to the unique sound of CCR lead vocalist John Fogerty, Weeks said it’s not about pretending, but bringing their own voices to the music. “This is not a tribute band,” she said. Another aspect Weeks likes about the Reflections series is the local musicians keep their own identify, “but bring that piece of yourself to the artist.” The first Reflections show focused on the music of Bob Seger and one planned for Feb. 6 and Feb. 7 will feature Fleetwood Mac — a choice made by the audience at the recent CD release for her other music project, Swing Cat Bounce. For that show, she’s brought together Denis, Paulline Kyllonen, Matt Stanley
and Nicole Clay to share the stage with her. Weeks said she asked Clay in particular because Fleetwood Mac music is ruled by harmonies and Weeks loves how Clay can bring that harmonic focus to her singing. The shows are all in the Coquihalla Ballroom at the St. Paul Street hotel and Weeks emphasized the layout is deliberate to allow for dancing. “Every show I’m going to do will have dancing,” she said. Tickets for the CCR shows are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. They’re available at the hotel at 339 St. Paul St. or online at sabrinaweeks.com. For more information, call 250-572-4427. Fleetwood Mac tickets go on sale later this month.

he thing about the Reflections music series Sabrina Weeks organizes is that the goal is not to come across like a tribute band. It’s why she chooses musicians for the shows — the second series is on Nov. 14 and Nov. 15 at the DoubleTree Hilton — not because they sound like the musicians whose works they’re singing but because they bring their own takes to the music. This month’s Reflections is on Credence Clearwater Revival (CCR) and Weeks has brought together Renea Denis, Kelly Spencer, Marie Jackson, Mike Hilliard and herself for the two nights of the roots- and swamp-rock band that topped music charts throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Weeks said she is excited about the upcoming shows because CCR is one of the “most-popular bands that ever existed,” she said. “We’re going to

Acura’s electric approach JIM ROBINSON
METROLAND MEDIA
A
cura calls its flagship RLX Hybrid the most powerful sedan it has ever produced. With the mating of a 3.5litre gasoline engine, three electric motors and a potent lithium-ion battery, this full-size premium sedan easily leaves others behind at the stoplight. But, in real-world terms, the ability to pass on the highway is — excuse the pun — electrifying. When the engine/motors come together, the RLX takes off, but what impresses is the linear feel as you are pressed back into the seat. You can almost sense the building of torque through the steering wheel. Try one and you will be surprised. Officially called the 2015 Acura RLX
Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (super handling all-wheel-drive), there’s quite a lot of thinking that went into the overall concept and design. Acura said the RLX Hybrid is part of its “human-centred approach” or, more simply, the blending of what a human can do to make life easier and what a machine can do to make life richer. If we take a little trip into Japanese culture, Acura wants the RLX to achieve two goals — Takaburi (exhilarating) and Inomama (at the will of the driver). Taking this one step further, the RLX SH-AWD Hybrid is aimed at providing V8-class performance (Takaburi) with fourcylinder fuel economy but not without the enjoyment of driving (Inomama). So, how does Acura do this? It starts with a 3.5-litre direct injection V6 at the front in tandem with an integrated electric motor and seven-speed dualclutch transmission.
RIGHT ON THE CORNER, RIGHT ON THE PRICE!!! ASK
RIVER CITY AUTO CORNER
The engine alone produces 310 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. But, at the rear are two, one-way clutch electric motors drawing on the lithium-ion battery producing a combined 54 hp and 108 lb/ft of torque for an overall 377 hp and 341 lb/ft of torque. That results in a 2015 five-cycle fuel economy rating of 8.0/7.5/7.7L/100 km city/highway/combined, which is as good or better than hybrids at half the size not to mention luxury. All this is displayed to the driver through the information display located at the centre of the main instrument panel. At launch, only the electric motors at the rear drive the RLX. Depending on how gentle you are, the range at moderate speed in my case was 12 kilometres. At that point, if you switch to gentle acceleration, the engine drives the front motor and front wheels.
While all this is going on, the hybrid drive system is monitoring electric draw and engine/coast/brake regeneration harvesting for the most efficient of the onboard power sources. Of course, you have to accelerate or pass at some point. So, if you lay the hammer down, the engine and all three motors kick in to impress (at least me) with the acceleration. When you get up to highway speed, the rear motors shut down and the engine drives the front wheels, which is pretty standard in most hybrids. Where the RLX Hybrid differs is in the way the SH-AWD system deals with traction by using rear torque from the motors to generate its own turning force by actually changing the pitch angle to, in effect, create rear end torque vectoring. Think of it this way. See FRONT, page B8

Front torque steering rewrites corner power From page B7
ible control of rear torque [that] generates its own turning force,” meaning the car actually pivots on the inside rear wheel for a cleaner and stable exit. It sounds confusing, but it is completely transparent and it works. The same system will be used when the Acura NSX supercar debuts later this year, but it will be swung around 180 degrees with the engine/motor/trans-
You come into a right corner. The front engine and electric motor powers you forward. At the rear, the motors supply positive torque to the outside wheel and negative torque to the inside wheel. That alters what is known as the yaw moment, resulting in what Acura says creates “unique flex-
mission at the rear and the two electric motors at the front. With torque steering available at the front, the NSX looks to re-write cornering power. On the RLX Hybrid, all of this is displayed by a full colour heads-up display that is entertaining, but distracting. I didn’t look but I expect it can be turned off. As the brand’s flagship,
the RLX Hybrid abounds with the latest safety technology such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and a truly nifty 360-degree surround system with no less than six viewing angles. On the highway from Collingwood to Meaford on a wet surface my co-driver and I tried lane departure mode. Sometimes, older

Wood you like to sit down?
CHEVY RECYCLES AND REPURPOSES
A custom tailgating package built into the Chevrolet Suburban Premium Outdoors concept features a handcrafted table and benches made of recycled wood salvaged from deconstructed Detroit homes. The table and benches were designed and built by Workshop Detroit, a furniture company whose products are made almost entirely of salvaged wood and materials. It includes material from three deconstructed homes — and each section is stamped with the donor home’s address. Workshop Detroit started a year ago as a pop-up shop during the holiday season and is now in a permanent
location in Detroit’s Fischer building — in the heart of the city’s resurgent Midtown district. The Suburban Premium Outdoors is one of a trio of outdoors-themed concept trucks and full-size SUVs introduced by Chevy at the recent SEMA Show — the world’s largest automotive-personalization trade show. In addition to the salvaged-wood table and benches, the concept tailgating package also includes a bigscreen, smart HDTV mounting in the cargo area. — Metroland Media

Volvo Cars will unveil the long-awaited V60 Cross Country at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show later this month. The Cross Country brand has a long and distinguished heritage. Volvo Cars was the first premium brand to offer increased all-road capability and styling on its wagons as far back as 1997 when it introduced the V70 Cross Country, creating a whole new type of car experience that has since captured the imagination of the motoring public. Reflecting Volvo’s Scandinavian heritage and love of nature and adventure, the V60 Cross Country brings together the best of both worlds — a sporty, connected yet comfortable driving experience with the freedom to explore new horizons. Offering new Cross Country 18- and 19-inch wheels, the V60 Cross Country comes with high profile tires, adding comfort and off-road aesthetics, reducing road noise and providing added wheel protection whether climbing curbs or negotiating rocky roads. The V60 Cross Country also comes standard with Hill Descent Control, which controls the car’s speed automatically when driving down steep inclines. The U.S. and Canada will get the first V60 Cross Country cars and they will launch with Volvo’s five-cylinder 250 hp gasoline engine with All-Wheel Drive coupled to an automatic transmission delivering a highly competitive (US) 23 mpg.
