Sex offender to plead guilty to new charges By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Brett Anthony Nelson will be in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday, Feb. 25, to fix a date for a guilty plea in connection to the most recent charges against the former teacher. Nelson’s lawyer, Rob Bruneau, has asked for a hearing with a judge alone and waived a preliminary inquiry. Nelson, who was fired from his job in 2004 for engaging in sexual contact with a Grade 11 student, faces charges of sexual interference of a minor, breach of probation and failure to comply with a probation order. Last year, he was sentenced to nine months in jail after pleading guilty to luring charges in connection with another incident. When he was released, Nelson was banned from going near parks, playgrounds, swimming pools or other places where children might be present. He was also ordered to not communicate with children through a computer and to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. He has been out of custody on $10,000 bail.

Like the rays of sunshine seeping through the windows, Missagh Manshadi’s health-focused development is brightening up a section of North Kamloops that continues to undergo a remarkable transformation. Dave Eagles/KTW

or more than six years, the land lay vacant at the northeast corner of Tranquille Road and Wood Street in North Kamloops . Then, in late 2011, Missagh Manshadi saw the land he had owned all those years broken as construction began on his vision — a structure that would house a pharmacy, a medical clinic and seniors’ housing, and have space for other commercial ventures, ideally all focused on health. Later this month, Manshadi Pharmacy will open in the almost 34,000-squarefoot, $8-million structure, which will house his second drug store in the city. There are already some seniors living upstairs in the housing he included in the project.

“I’m thrilled that he put that building up in that neighbourhood,” said Dawn Hrycun, head of the Door to Roof Society that has been involved in renovating housing in the area to add to the affordablehousing stock in Kamloops. “It was really needed and it has changed what that street looks like. “And, as new construction, it has long sustainability. You renovate something that’s already there and it’s really just a renovated building. But, this is a good vision for the North Shore.” Manshadi hopes the city agrees with

viewpoints like that of Hrycun and puts more attention on the North Shore. Allocating money to install street lights, for example, should not be a news item in his mind, but something that is simply done — yet Manshadi said he was called to comment for a story about the project that will see lights installed on Tranquille from Leigh Road to Sydney Avenue. The pharmacist sees the North Shore in a positive cycle now, with construction of the new library branch and Library Square. “I want to make sure the city and council are with us,” he said. “We want the city to do their job and we, business, will do our job.” Manshadi sees part of his job as involving the creation of an integrated medical centre.

Valentine’s Day brings Happiness to Kamloops By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Drive through the intersection of Summit Drive and Columbia Street on Valentine’s Day and you might get sprinkled. With happiness, that is. Started in Washington state in 2012, the Happiness Sprinkling Project aims to pass on happy energy in communities across North America. The Thursday, Feb. 14, event in Kamloops will be the second held in Canada. The event itself is simple, according to Kamloops organizer Melanie Reed. A group of people, about 35 locally, dressed in bright yellow T-shirts, stand at the side of a road and wave signs with positive, encouraging messages at passersby. The signs contain messages such as “It’s going to be all right” and “You are loved.” Happiness sprinklers will also hand out smaller versions of the messages to passing pedestrians.

“It asks nothing of the participant,” said Reed, who first heard about the project through family friends, who organized an event in Victoria. “We’re not asking anyone to do anything, contribute anything, donate anything. “It just is there to encourage people.” Reed put out the word on Twitter, found other people who wanted to get involved locally and contacted the Washington state-based Anacortes Centre for Happiness, which oversees the events. The Valentine’s Day date the city was assigned was simply a happy coincidence. Sprinkling will begin at about 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 14, and run for about an hour, spreading good vibes to drivers on their way home from work. “As people are driving home from work, their heads are full of what they have to do next, where are they going in the evening, all the things that happened at work,” Reed said. “They get distracted

Driver to enter plea at next court appearance By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The senior charged with a driving offence after a pedestrian was hit and seriously injured in a North Kamloops crosswalk last year is scheduled to return to court on March 7. Merle Peter Michels is charged with driving without due care and attention in relation to the September accident that saw 20-year-old Chloe Jasmine Demers suffer life-threatening injuries and spend several weeks in a medically induce coma. It is expected the 85-year-old Michels will enter a plea at the

March hearing. Demers, also known as Chloe Ardiles, was in a crosswalk at Fortune Drive and Fort Avenue on Sept. 7, 2012, when she was hit by a car alleged to have blown through a red light. Late last month, Demers’ family filed a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court seeking money to cover loss of income, loss of earning capacity, future care costs and general damages, among other claims. According to the notice of claim filed on Demers’ behalf, the woman suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, a broken tibia and fibula, multiple lacerations,

abrasions and bruises to her entire body, a blown pupil and an ACL injury to her left knee. The document claims she has been left with scars on her head and body and now suffers seizures, pain, depression, sleep problems, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and headaches. According to the document, Michels was speeding when he allegedly ran the red light and failed “to take reasonable steps to avoid a collision” with Demers. There is no dollar amount listed in the document. Michels has yet to file a response.

Victoria wants your input on highway work

Free Soup Bowl

First public session will be held tonight in Kamloops Victoria St., from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. At the Union of BC Municipalities Conference in September, Premier Christy Clark promised the highway would expand to four lanes and said her government would earmark $650 million over 10 years to complete the work. Polak said the province is in talks with Ottawa about federal funding, though no commitments have yet been made. The consultations run through February. Until they’re completed, Polak said it’s “impossible” to guess at when construction

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloopsians are being asked to weigh in on the B.C. government’s plan to widen the Trans-Canada Highway between the city and the Alberta border — but it’s not clear when the project will be going ahead. Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Mary Polak was in Kamloops last week to announce several weeks of public-consultation sessions in Interior communities along Highway 1. The first session will take place tonight (Feb. 12) at Hotel 540, 540

might begin. “Part of what we want to understand in the consultation is if there are priority areas where we should begin first, ones with very high safety challenges or ones where the residents feel they should be a priority area,” she said. The project is expected to run over a number of years. Asked whether the B.C. Liberals can deliver on the highway widening with a provincial election only a few months away, Polak said this isn’t the first time the government has committed to a major road project just before voters go to the polls.

Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said the four-laning project will improve public safety for communities and motorists along the highway corridor and cut down on traffic accidents “that are really unnecessary in this day and age.”

Jules inducted in hall of fame Former Tk’emlups Indian Band chief Manny Jules has been inducted into the Aboriginal Business Hall of Fame. Jules and Jim Thunder of Buffalo Point First Nation in Manitoba were inducted on Tuesday, Feb. 5, in Toronto, where they received the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business’ Aboriginal Business Hall of Fame Award. In inducting Jules, the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business and ESS Support Services Worldwide (founding

and exclusive sponsor for the Aboriginal Business Hall of Fame) noted he has dedicated his life to the betterment of First Nations. “His long and successful career as an elected leader of the Kamloops Indian Band in British Columbia is well known. Mr. Jules retired as chief in December of 2000 to devote his full attention to leading the drive to establish First Nations fiscal institutions.” Today, Jules is chief commissioner and

CEO of the First Nations Tax Commission. Thunder held the role of hereditary chief of Buffalo Point First Nation from 1967 to 1997. Under his leadership, Jim drove the implementation of a long-term economic development plan for his community. Aboriginal business leaders inducted into the ABHF are recognized for their accomplishments in achieving sustainable economic development in aboriginal communities.

Found4Kids ﬁnds new home in Lansdowne Village Found4Kids is back in the business of recycling lost-and-found articles from local schools. The project, created by Dianne Noble and run by her and some friends, had been housed for free in a vacant storefront at Sahali Mall the last two years but, in early December, mall management advised Noble it had leased the space to a paying tenant and she had to vacate. Calls went out to friends and colleagues to help find a new location and, within a few

days, a friend had contacted the management of Lansdowne Village. Dawn Surette of Dundee Realty Management Corp., which runs the downtown mall, said “Found4Kids is a worthy cause and plays an important role in the community and we’re happy to be the location of choice for them.” Noble started the project after seeing the piles of clothing in the lost-and-found bins at her children’s schools, items that remained long after school was finished.

She and other volunteers collect the items after schools have tried to return them to their owners, clean and mend them and then provide them for free to families referred through their schools. Principals provide referral slips to families, caregivers or students to ensure confidentiality and appointments to visit the store and pick out items are made by email to found4kids@gmail.com. More information is available on the project’s website at google.com/site/found4kids.

There are ways to save some money at city hall

NOTHER CITY BUDGET is almost ready to be adopted and, for yet another year, Kamloops residents had a chance to tell council what they want to see done with all those numbers. A handful of public-consultation meetings were held at Interior Savings Centre, where taxpayers weighed in on parkland, sewage systems, streetlights and the like. At the end of the three public-input meetings, Coun. Ken Christian noted that, while there was plenty of advocacy for projects, he did not hear much in the way of suggestions on trimming costs. Christian said council should look at postponing some major capital projects to 2014 while focusing on staffing numbers at city hall, noting the major cost is in benefits paid. Consider this column an attempt at filling the void left at those public meetings with some suggestions as to how city council can work to lessen the tax burden on a populace simply overwhelmed by taxes and fees at all levels of government. I took a look at property taxes I have paid since arriving in Kamloops in 2005. It’s a steady increase, to be sure, but so, too, has the value of my abode risen during these years. I am paying $192.84 more now than I did eight years ago. Thanks to Victoria’s decision to bump up the homeowner’s grant, my cumulative property-tax hike in Kamloops has been diluted to $107.16. Nevertheless, every year property taxes have risen, due to the city needing to cover increasing costs, paramount which is wages paid to staff, wages that have risen every year, regardless of the state of the economy. Property taxes are but a portion of the costs to Joe Sixpack that

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS rise annually. While Kamloops council has managed to keep property-tax hikes to about two per cent each year, there are also increases in water, sewer and garbage rates, not to mention the limitless list of additional expenses to be found at the provincial and federal levels. Fifty-five dollars a year here. Sixtyfour bucks a year there. Twenty-two beans here. Thirty-five dollars there. On their own, such hikes don’t seem onerous. Add them up, year after year after year and many of us become enmeshed in our very own Ronnie Dunn song. Cost of Livin’? It knows no heights it cannot exceed. The City of Kamloops has about 640 employees. At the end of 2011, those employees were paid about $50 million in wages and another $400,000 in expenses. Of that $50 million, one-third was paid to employees earning $75,000 or more a year. Now, nobody should begrudge somebody a decent salary to support a family and whether Kamloops can do with fewer than 640 employees is debatable. But, getting back to Christian’s comment on the focus being on city staff and benefits, there is a very clear opportunity to find savings in the benefits

package enjoyed by city staffers. The city’s contract with CUPE expires at the end of this year. That contract includes CUPE employees having 100 per cent of their benefits paid for by taxpayers. Why should city employees (union or management) not pay some of the cost of their benefits, as is the norm in much of the private sector? That contract also allows sick days (1.5 days permitted per month of employment) to be banked and cashed in upon retirement — to a maximum of 120 days, paid out at 80 per cent value. Sick days are essentially insurance against getting ill. Why are taxpayers paying employees for not getting sick? One does not receive money paid for fire or car insurance if there has never been a blaze or accident. Furthermore, I suggest city council adopt the following: • Until there comes a day when a zero per cent property-tax increase can be guaranteed, there will be an end to all beautification promotions/contests that carry a cost of any kind. • Unless it’s a matter of life or death, there shall be no new major roads built in the city. The Hillside Connector is pretty to drive down, but hardly necessary. • If a multi-million-dollar performing arts centre is desired, the project must be put to a referendum. If 51 per cent of those voting approve the proposal, I will pay my share willingly. • See previous suggestion and apply to every non-essential project under consideration in the city, be it a park in Aberdeen, a new city hall or a proposed parkade downtown. I am sure KTW readers have even better cost-cutting suggestions. Tell us what they are by dropping a line to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

Politicians representing their constituents rather than party leaders or special interest groups is a request most Canadian voters have dreamt of for years. Unfortunately, in this day and age with power-hungry politicians, it’s often simply that — a dream. Three B.C. MLAs — Bob Simpson, Vicki Huntington and John van Dongen — are calling for reforms to party financing to put an end to corporate and union donations influencing provincial affairs. It’s a refreshing idea, but all three are independent MLAs and have their work cut out for them. From an all-controlling prime minister in Ottawa, to businessfriendly Liberals and a pro-union NDP in B.C., politicians usually have their priorities and rarely does the electorate’s desires play a part in them. Instead of their wishes brought to fruition, the public more often has to fight government to show politicians they were elected to work for the people. Examples include the proposed Riverside Park parkade at the municipal level, the harmonized sales tax provincially and Idle No More movement on the national scene. Unfortunately, for every time politicians listen, there are a host of times in which they plough through with an agenda no matter how loud the voters protest. The Conservatives’ 443-page omnibus Bill C-45 is one example that comes to mind. But, change has to start somewhere and three MLAs — albeit independents — is better than nothing. One can only hope those who toe their party’s line will have a change of heart and see the sense in working for those who sent them to Victoria. If not, the public has a trump card to play on election day, May 14, and revoke a politician’s privilege of representing them any further.

Re: Story: Dueck seeks to give New Life to Mission: “The way it is, this mission was always a terrible idea. “Overbuilt at the time, it was obvious to me it could not sustain itself in this building. “I would really like to see a sensible plan developed to utilize it, even if that means the mission moves somewhere else.” — posted by Linda James

Re: Story: Benevolent boarding: “This is the best thing that has ever happened to my daughter. “She is so excited and looks forward to the day she gets to snowboard and spend time with her Big Sister. “I am a single mother who just wanted my daughter to have another special person in her life who did things with her and enjoyed her company. “The opportunity for her to do this is so special because, with my income, I would never have been able to afford this on my own. “A big, big, big thank you to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Bluebird Foundation. “It is amazing there are programs like this out there for me to access.” — posted by Missy Armour

Stolen is stolen — nothing was given up Editor: Re: Mike Collings’ letter of Feb. 5 (‘Aboriginal Incorporated has become entrenched’): Collins presents what would otherwise have been a logical analysis of a complicated situation, had he known the proper and pertinent facts regarding the history of this specific area, the area of so-called British Columbia. His error lies in the fact virtually none of this particular area, unlike large parts of areas elsewhere on this continent, was ever abandoned by The People, was ever given up by The People, was ever bought from The People or was ever won by fighting The People. Anybody who disputes this as fact should read the Memorial to Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the subsequent Memorial to Hon. Frank Oliver, which are eloquent, historic documents stating in plain language to these two dignitaries the concerns of historic chiefs of The People. These documents are easily found online. The original agreement between the “real whites” — the shemma-la (phonetically speaking) equalled good whites, (i.e., those who arrived here initially) — was to live as guests in the house of The People. What is ours is theirs, what is theirs is ours; we will help each other to be great and good. The People here are not treaty Indians and, for the most part, do not want to become treaty Indians. Who could blame them? It would be far easier to list the promises kept, rather than the greatly more numerous promises broken, not to mention the despicable abuses The People, these generous-hearted people, suffered at the hands of the greedy whites, the shemma, who arrived later seeking and taking gold, land and anything they could get their hands on — and often ruthlessly so. To put it into an overly simplistic, but modern analogy, the situation is somewhat like that of which we often hear about in the news: Parents go away for a weekend, leaving the house to their responsible teenagers, who invite a few close friends over. Those friend then invite a few of their friends, perhaps somewhat known to the household teenagers; those people then each invite other people, who each and all invite other people and so on and so on until the house is filled with hundreds of unknowns, including adults, who destroy it, throw the TV through the window, ruin the carpets, deface the walls, wreck the furniture, steal the possessions and render the house unlivable — until the parents come home and end it all, but remain yet faced with the huge problem of cleaning up the mess, repairing the house and recovering their property. Well, guess what? The parents are pulling into the driveway right now folks. The party is over. I am shemma-la. I earned this title by sharing and abiding by the original deal. I was designated shemma-la during a sacred sweat-lodge ceremony. I live as shemma-la, sharing equally with my brothers and sisters of The People. Heed this: Since we, my sisters and brothers of The People, share equally as above stated, the greedy white government that has stolen this land from them and then “sold” it has also then stolen from me. What makes any thief think they are going to get away with stealing from me or anyone else here? Bruce J. Perry Savona

Dear Fellow Bowler:

SPECIAL DAYS! SPECIAL PRIZES!

We welcome you to the 35th Annual Bowl for Kids Sake campaign (formerly “Strikes for Tykes”)! Big Brothers Big Sisters must raise its own budget every year in order to continue to assist the children and youth who require our services. All proceeds raised stay in our community to help us deliver programs needed by the children and youth in Kamloops and surrounding communities including:

Bring your pledge sheet and bowl for free on one of these special days (pre-booking is mandatory):

Big Brothers Big Sisters Traditional Program A Big Brother or Big Sister is an adult volunteer who is matched with a child between the ages of 6 and 16 for a mentoring friendship. The Big and Little spend time together once a week, having fun in the community.

Couples for Kids

In-School Mentoring

In-School Teen Mentoring

Sports Mentorship

Another fun and rewarding program, the In-School Mentoring program matches a volunteer (mentor) age 17+ with an elementary school child with activities taking place at the child’s school.

A friendship-based, non-academic program that matches high school students, grade 10—12, with boys and girls, grades K-7, for 1 hour a week with activities taking place at the child’s school.

This program matches a volunteer with a child who shares a mutual sport interest in order to mentor the child by teaching life skills, goal setting, character and good sportsmanship.

Couples for Kids matches couples with a child for a two-to-one friendship. Children who spend time with a mentor gain conﬁdence, learn new skills, discover more about their community and the world around them, and increase their capacity to care for others.

We believe every child should have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential, both as individuals and citizens – that by doing so, they will not only do well, they will also do good. We believe that by changing the course of young lives we can in turn be changing the course of a community’s future. That it could lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment. Or to safer schools and neighbourhoods. That it could even lead to change on a broader, more far-reaching scale. Or to a renewed optimism for growth.

The anchor is in place — a stateof-the-art medical clinic that could house up to six doctors. He didn’t spare the expense creating it, Manshadi said, ensuring everything, including a major datatransmission centre, is included to make the clinic the best it can be. Attention was spent to little details, such as a large area to store samples, a counter in a hallway where doctors can make a quick stop to check something on their way to examination rooms, the best ventilation and air-flow possible and efficient design. Adjacent to the centre is the pharmacy, which is scheduled to open later this month. In his vision, Manshadi sees complementary medical services opening in the remaining commercial part of the building so people do not have to travel to several locations for healthcare needs. The need for his vision to be fulfilled led Manshadi to hire Unitech Construction Management to create the building. The Vancouver company has extensive experience in building medical facilities. “Boxes. People build boxes,” Manshadi said, “but, beauty and

esthetic is important and was important when we built it. So, when I told them to cut some angles, make some space, they knew what it was I wanted.” Open space in a building is an area that can’t be leased and won’t generate income. “But, it should look good,” Manshadi said of the building. Because contractors had to use adjacent Elizabeth Fry Society-owned land to access the construction site, Manshadi built that housing complex a playground for children as a thankyou gift. There were, however, hiccups along the way. A major one came when his plan to have the Door to Roof Society run the residential component fell through. Manshadi said he wanted to add affordable housing for seniors to the city and had applied for that through the city’s program that provides incentives for such construction, but the plan fell through and the housing — still targeted at seniors — is now being handled by a property-management company. Dave Freeman, the city’s realestate manager, explained the program allows for tax exemptions when

Recycling Depot Changes

— Missagh Manshadi

The City’s Recycling Depots are undergoing changes. On March 1st 2013, the Valleyview and Mission Flats depots will be closed - Ord Rd and McGill Rd depots will remain open. A new bin setup and site layout will be brought in to simplify sorting for depot users. Recyclables need only to be separated into two streams: cardboard and mixed recycling. Cardboard · Corrugated Cardboard · Boxboard (cereal, detergent, shoeboxes, etc) Mixed Recycling · Paper · Plastic Containers & Bags (#1-7) · Glass (bottles & jars) · Metal (food & beverage, trays, foil)

affordable housing is built. but the guidelines only work with nonprofit societies doing the construction. This was the first time the city had dealt with a “private sector, socially conscious developer that wanted to provide affordable housing,” Freeman said.

After many discussions about options, it didn’t work out in the end. “What he’s doing,” Freeman said, “is wonderful.” Manshadi is hoping the clinic fills soon with other health-care professionals joining him in completing the vision.

He noted the North Shore has few doctors or complementary medical services. “There is an opportunity here for health-care professionals to come to town and do a viable business here. The most vulnerable people are the people who need the most care and they don’t

have it on the North Shore. “There has been tremendous change in Kamloops,” Manshadi said of the 13 years that have passed since he moved to the Tournament Capital in 2000 and opened his first pharmacy. “And we have come a

long way. “The mayor and council, now they just have to wake up. “They can’t forget about this part of the city.”

National champs

The pure elation shown on these girls’ faces is a result of their victory at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Women’s Curling Championship, which wrapped up in Fort McMurray on Sunday, Feb. 17. Skip Corryn Brown (left), second Sam Fisher, third Erin Pincott and lead Sydney Fraser, all of whom are from Kamloops, are national champions. They curl out of Kamloops Curling Club. Mark O’Neill photo

Corryn Brown ended a quarter-century of frustration for B.C. at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships. Brown’s Kamloops team defeated Manitoba’s Shannon Birchard (Winnipeg) 6-3 on Sunday night (Feb. 10) at the Suncor Community Leisure Centre in the women’s gold-medal game and booked a spot at the world junior championships, which run from Feb. 28 to March 10 in Sochi, Russia. “It feels incredible,” Brown said. “It hasn’t really sunk in too much right now. But, it’s just unbelievable. Going to Russia is going to be incredible and having the Maple Leaf on our back is going to be even better.” It was B.C.’s first victory since 1987 at

Prince Albert, Sask., when Julie Sutton (Skinner) won her second-straight Canadian title (she played third a year earlier for her sister Jodie). It was the fourth gold medal for a B.C. team at the event and second for a Kamloops entry. Sandra Plut won in 1982 at Winnipeg. The Brown rink — skip Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Sam Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser, all of whom are 17 — curls out of Kamloops Curling Club. “I could not be more proud of these girls,” Brown said. It will be Brown’s second chance to wear the Maple Leaf overseas. In 2012, she won a bronze medal with the Canadian mixed team (skipped by Thomas Scoffin, who lost in the men’s final

on Saturday) at the inaugural Youth Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. “I just can’t wait for these girls to experience this for themselves,” said Brown, whose father, Ken, is the rink’s coach. The win on Sunday marked the second time the Brown rink has won national gold. The same lineup captured first at the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax. It was a tight first five ends on Sunday. B.C. took a 1-0 lead with a single point in the fourth end when Brown made an open hit while looking at three Manitoba counters. In the sixth, though, Birchard, 18, was able to make a cold draw to the four-foot to score two and take her first lead of the game.

Team B.C. answered right back in the seventh end, when Brown made a spectacular tripletakeout to score three and take a 4-2 lead. “We were fortunate enough to have that set up and we thought the worst we can do if I miss it is give up one,” Brown said. “So, we thought the benefits outweighed the risks. We tried and ended up making it.” The B.C. champs continued pressuring in the eighth end. Birchard was looking at five B.C. rocks in the rings, but coolly drew to bite a piece of the button and score one, cutting the B.C. lead to 4-3. Brown made an open hit for a single in the ninth to restore her twopoint lead going into the 10th end. In the 10th, Birchard had a runback double

takeout to score two and force an extra end, but the raised rock jammed, giving B.C. a steal and the victory. “There was just so much moving at once and then all of a sudden ours stopped just outside of the eight-foot and we knew we won it,” Brown said. “It’s an incredible feeling to know that we did enough to pull out that win in the last end.” B.C.’s victory ended a three-year run in which the same province had swept both the men’s and women’s gold medals. Manitoba’s Matt Dunstone won the men’s final on Saturday. It was the secondstraight year Birchard has finished second at junior nationals. She, along with lead Mariah Mondor, lost the final of last year’s Canadian juniors

to Alberta’s Jocelyn Peterman in Napanee, Ont. “It’s definitely heartbreaking,” Birchard said. “Coming back into this, it was a way better final than last year. Just a couple missed shots here and there that really killed us.” The 2013 silvermedal Manitoba team was rounded out by third Nicole Sigvaldason, second Sheyna Andries and coach Bruce Birchard. “They’re a great team and they’re going to represent the country really well in Sochi,” Birchard said of the Brown rink. Brown was named a first-team all star on Friday, Feb. 8, at a tournament awards banquet, while Fraser received a fair-play award. Two New Brunswick players who competed

in Fort McMurray have been named alternates for the Canadian teams in Sochi. Josh Barry will accompany Dunstone’s men’s team, while Cathlia Ward will be with Brown’s women’s team. The world juniors in Sochi will serve as a test event for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Canada has won a leading 17 world junior men’s titles since 1975 and eight women’s crowns (one behind Scotland) since 1988. The last Canadian teams to win world junior titles were skipped by Saskatchewan’s Marliese Kasner (Miller) in 2003 in Flims, Switzerland, and by Brendan Bottcher last year.

EMERGENCY GENERAL MEETING

Globetrotters to entertain at TCC By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It took a few seconds, but 42-year-old Wun (The Shot) Versher was eventually able to remember where he was during an interview with KTW last week. â€œWhere am I . . . I am in . . . somewhere in Massachusetts . . . Lowell, thatâ€™s where I am,â€? said Versher, a member of the Harlem Globetrotters for the last 18 years. â€œEverything kind of jumbles together after a while.â€? The Globetrotters will play 270 games on a North American tour that started on Dec. 26 and wraps up on April 21. There are three Globetrotter teams out on the road, one of which will entertain a Kamloops crowd at the Tournament Capital Centre on Wednesday Feb. 13. When the festivities get underway at 7 p.m., Versher, regarded as one of the best shooters in Globetrotter history, will be in Oregon. Four years ago, he retired from playing and took over publicrelations duties for the team. He is usually in a city a week before his high-flying teammates arrive. With a wife and two children â€” a sixyear-old son and a three-year-old daughter â€” life on the road can be tough on the Versher family. â€œSometimes, weâ€™re on the road six to nine months of the year,â€? said Versher, who hails from Compton, L.A. â€œYou always want to get back to the kids.â€? The Globetrotter gig, though, has provided the 6-foot-5 Arizona State University graduate with some incredible opportunities. He has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Extra and Access Hollywood, and he was part of a group that visited the Vatican City in 2000 to name Pope John Paul II an honorary Globetrotter. For Globetrotter players, the day-to-day

grind can be tough physically and mentally, but the adrenaline rush provided by a big crowd has healing powers. â€œAs soon as you hit that floor and you hear the crowd cheering for you, everything that has happened before that game kind of melts away and you just want to give people a great show,â€? Versher said. â€œThe motivation really is the crowd. I donâ€™t care what it is thatâ€™s been going on in your day, unless itâ€™s death, it just goes away and you want to entertain.â€? The transition from the court to media relations was seamless for Versher, who, after 18 years, knows the business inside and out. â€œIt was really cool for them to say we still need you and want to use you,â€? he said. â€œI like this portion even more than actually performing. Iâ€™m actually out in communities across the U.S. and Canada and Iâ€™m up close and personal with kids and giving back personally, putting smiles on peoples faces.â€? Versher might not be wowing crowds with trick shots or big jams anymore, but he is a valued member of the team and The Shot plans on being around for a while. â€œI havenâ€™t slowed down yet,â€? he said. â€œI think I can go another 18 years now.â€?

Shine bright like a Dimond The Globetrotters will be joined on the hardcourt by Michelle Dimond, a former member of the TRU WolfPack womenâ€™s basketball team. â€œI donâ€™t think weâ€™ve had too many females participate in playing,â€? Versher said. â€œI wish I was there to see that. She will likely play with the opposing team. â€œWe might make her look a little silly, but sheâ€™ll enjoy it.â€? Tickets, priced at $28, are still available.

They can be purchased at the front desk at the TCC, at the ISC Box Office, on ticketweb.ca or by phone 1-888-222-6608. On this tour, the You Write The Rules World Tour, fans will be able to have a say in the gameâ€™s final outcome by altering the rules. This could be any-

The Devil we know By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Arizona State Sun Devils inked one hell of a middle-distance runner. Kala Stone of the Kamloops Track and Field Club (KTFC) signed on this week with the NCAA Division 1 school and will start her college track-and-field career this fall. â€œIâ€™ve been going through the recruiting process for the past year and Arizona was the school that I liked best,â€? said Stone, who spoke to KTW from South Kamloops secondary during a study block. â€œI visited in January. I loved the coaches and the team and the facilities and the school itself â€” and the weather.â€? Stone, who will turn 18 on Saturday, Feb. 9, said about 80 per cent of her schooling will be covered by Arizona State. Adding to the allure of the desert was the schoolâ€™s proximity to a Canadian highperformance training base, run in the winter months by Athletics Canada middle-distance running coach Wynn Gmitroski. The university is

located in Tempe, about 15 minutes from the training base. â€œI think that provides opportunity for the future,â€? Stone said. â€œBeing in the area and keeping the Canadian connection. Other schools were offering me a full ride, but I really wanted to go to a school that was the best fit for me.â€? Stone clocked Canadaâ€™s third-best youth 1,500m time (4:34.55) last season, along with the fourthquickest 3,000m mark (10:03.8). She also ran a career-best 2:13.87 in the 800m last season. Those three times were the fastest recorded last season by any female British Columbian runner in her age group. Stone won gold in the under-18 girlsâ€™ 1,500m, silver in the 800m and bronze in the 4X400m relay at the 2012 Legion Canadian Youth Athletics Championships. She has won gold four years running in the 1,500m â€” her favourite event â€” at the B.C. High School Championships and will look to five-peat this season. Stone is also an

Arizona State distance-running coach Ryan Cole said on the Sun Devilsâ€™ website. â€œWe look forward to her coming in and contributing to our mid-distance group and watching her progress during the upcoming track-and-field season. â€œSheâ€™s an athletic kid, maybe a bit underdeveloped, and will be able to contribute in cross-country as well.â€?

The budding track starâ€™s KTFC coach, Bruno Mazzotta, will likely be monitoring her progress closely. â€œShe has the talent to go all the way â€” Olympics,â€? Mazzotta said.

2013 BC SENIORS GAMES

Kamloops will host the 2013 BC Seniors Games from Aug. 20 to Aug. 24, 2013.The city is expecting more than 3,500 athletes, ages 55 and up, to attend the Games, which will feature 25 events, ranging from cribbage to ice hockey. The BC Seniors Games Society is a volunteer non-profit society funded by the provincial government and in co-operation with the BC Games Society, which event manages the Games. Kamloops can expect an economic impact from the Games of more than $2 million. KTW continues its biweekly feature page, with each page focusing on one of the Games’ events.

golf By Sarah MacMillan SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Golfing used to be something Inky Whalley only did on vacation but, after moving to Chase, she became more involved in the sport. “I’ve always liked the outdoors and my husband and I used to take the clubs on vacation. Then we moved to Chase and got involved,” Whalley said. “Plus, I live by the golf course.” Whalley first competed in the 2000 BC Seniors Games in Kelowna. She has since participated in Games in Prince George, Chilliwack, Surrey and Castlegar. And there is a reason she keeps going back. “The Senior Games is about meeting new people and having a good time,” she said. Whalley also become involved as the zone eight golf co-ordinator four years ago, meaning that,

On The Go?

while participating in the Games, she also makes posters, contacts those who participated in previous year and books golf courses, if needed. Each zone in B.C. can send two men and two women per age category, per division, and no more than 12 men and 12 women can compete per division. There are four divisions in golf at the BC Seniors Games: Women’s division “A” for golfers who have a handicap of 0 to 24.3; women’s division “B” for golfers who have a handicap of 24.4 to 40.4; men’s division “A” for golfers with a handicap of 0 to 20 and men’s division “B” for golfers with a handicap of 20.1 to 36.4. However, though there are limitations to the number of people who can participate in golf, the co-ordinators do try to give everyone the chance to compete. “We try not to refuse anyone,” Whalley said.

Golf participants at the Games play in a 36-hole stroke event, meaning two rounds of golf are played at one or more 18-hole golf courses, with the number of strokes taken at each hole counted. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded to golfers with the lowest net score and lowest gross score in each of the categories. However, for Whalley, it’s not about placing. “I use it as my recreation,” she said. “The BC Seniors Games, to me, if you get a medal, that’s a bonus. It’s really about meeting new people, having fun and two days of good golfing. “I love being outside and, at the level I’m golfing, I just love the friendships.” For more information about golfing at the 2013 BC Summer Games in Kamloops, B.C. contact Whalley by phone at 250-679-8723 or by email at biwhalley@cablelan.net, or visit the Games website at bcseniorsgames.org.

Handyman ﬁnds fame thanks to foosball Mark Ulinder’s creative foosball table landed him on reality TV By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE SECOND TIME WAS A CHARM FOR MARK ULINDER. In 2011, the Kamloops handyman — an employee at Molycop Canada — tried out for the HGTV reality show Canada’s Handyman Challenge. It didn’t go so well. “The wife actually put my name in for it,” Ulinder, 41, told KTW. “It was really stressful. I didn’t know what to expect and I kind of choked.” Fast forward one year and Ulinder was prepared. “I stewed on it for a year and I went back,” he said. “It went a lot better.”

VOTE FOR MARK Ulinder is contractually obligated to refrain from discussing the specifics of what happened when Canada’s Handyman Challenge was filmed last fall, but he’s happy to ask Tournament Capital residents for their help in an online poll looking to name a fan favourite from among this season’s contestants. To vote, go online to hgtv.ca and follow the links to Canada’s Handyman Challenge. There, viewers can vote as many times as they want for a fan favourite.

Ulinder travelled to Vancouver to try out for the show, taking with him a foosball table he’d created

Ulinder credits work history for handiness X From B1

“I said, ‘Well, I enjoy foosball, so let’s do that.’” It worked. A few weeks after the Vancouver audition, Ulinder was in Toronto with 14 other finalists for two weeks of filming the second season of Canada’s Handyman Challenge. Ulinder said he’s always been handy, thanks largely to a varied vocational history. “I’ve done an awful lot of things over the years,” he said, mentioning everything from welding to general labour and lots in between. Three Canada’s Handyman Challenge episodes — showing try-outs in Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax — have already aired, but the meat of the competition will begin for viewers today (Feb. 12) at 7 p.m. on HGTV. The show will be on each Tuesday at 7 p.m. until the finale on March 19. Hosted by Jenn Robertson, Canada’s Handyman Challenge competitors will have their work judged by HGTV personalities Scott McGillivray (Income Property), Bryan Baeumler (Leave it to Bryan, House of Bryan) and Paul Lafrance (Decked Out, Deck Wars). On the finale episode, the trio will be joined by Mike Holmes (Holmes Makes it Right, Holmes Inspection) to make sure they’re doing their judging right. Ulinder can’t say how he did,

The Tenors â€” from left, Fraser Walters, Remigio Pereira, Clinton Murray and Victor Micallef â€” played Interior Savings Centre on Feb. 8. Allen Douglas/KTW

Sex and the Kitty

Tenors didnâ€™t disappoint at ISC By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sitting through twoand-a-half hours of opera can be tedious unless youâ€™re a devotee. Iâ€™ve done it and Iâ€™m not. That same amount of time with The Tenors, however, was revelatory. In the hands of skilled performers, even songs you think you know can hold you spellbound. Consider Me He Enamorado De Ti. The four Canadians were partway through it during their concert at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Feb. 8, when I realized I had heard the song before â€” but it didnâ€™t sound this good when Barbra Streisand released it back in the early 1980s. Victor Micallef had said during an interview late last month he and the other tenors â€” Remigio Pereira, Fraser Walters and Clifton Murray â€” enjoy adapting well-known works, be they operatic or pop, and giving them a new identity.

They did it with Fare Thee Well Love, one of the signature songs of The Rankins, and, while it retained those same haunting tones the Maritimers bring to it, there was no doubt it was opera-trained singers performing. Their interpretation of Amazing Grace was equally soaring and reverent. I didnâ€™t like their adaptation of Leonard Cohenâ€™s Hallelujah, but must confess I remain

conflicted about who has done the best version â€” Jeff Buckley or K.D. Lang. Iâ€™m pretty sure I am in a minority on that opinion, given the number of times parts of and, eventually, the entire audience rose to applaud.

Walters won crowd over with Tournament Capital stories X From B3

He had the audience in the palm of his hand as he talked of his sports career and the times the Richmond-born soccer player came to Kamloops for tournaments, training with the likes of Dylan Armstrong and Gary Reed, both familiar names to most Kamloopsians. I found their story of the adventures they had in Las Vegas, where they went to film a television special, a bit bewildering, but perhaps it was part of their goal of connecting with their audience, revealing themselves as nothing more than four Canadian boys who are out having a great time doing something they love. Attention must be given to their band, which included pianist and music director Darryn Dasousa, bassist Stu Watkins, percussionist Mark Inneo and guitarist Antonio Mancini. They were solid, commanded their own spotlights at times and provided the perfect musical curtain behind the quartet.

I suffered a heart attack on October 1, 2003. Medically speaking, it was considered a major with 2 arteries at 90% and one at 100% plugged. I spent 3 weeks in Kamloops Hospital, 1 weekk inn IC ICU.

I had another angiogram in Kelowna in February pr ro aand an nd one in March. A decision was made to perform a quad bypass with a tentative date of March 20th, 2004.

HEART MO ONTH H FE EAT TURE

Jayne makes her health last Shortly before her 50th birthday, Jayne Farrell was inspired by a Heart and Stroke Foundation ad campaign to make some serious life changes so she’d be here for her family in the years to come When Jayne Farrell ﬁrst saw the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s edgy ad campaign for ‘Make Death Wait’ last year, she wished the commercials would be taken off the air. But as the ads continued, she discovered the root of her discomfort. Farrell was on the verge of turning 50, and wanted to be around to enjoy life with her husband and two sons, and the ads forced her to face the facts: to live a long, healthy life with her family, she needed to make some lifestyle changes. “The ad prompted me into action,” she says. “I thought, ‘Gosh, that is the truth and that’s what can happen when you don’t take care of yourself’.” When Farrell says she took action, she’s not kidding. Thanks to a subsidized gym membership from her employer, Farrell began to exercise regularly. While many of us are still slumbering in the early morning hours, Farrell is in the gym lifting weights or using the elliptical machine. She spends her work breaks outside walking with a coworker instead of grabbing a coffee, and enjoys golﬁng in her spare time. And it’s not just exercise that Farrell has incorporated into her healthy lifestyle. She drinks plenty of water, ensures she gets at least eight hours of sleep each night, likes to look for healthy recipes for home cooking inspiration (she even uses the Heart and Stroke’s recipe index as a resource), and watches her intake of sodium and processed foods.

In the last year, Farrell has dropped several inches and seen her energy levels improve , and is conﬁdent that she’s increasing her health and longevity.

“

My body knows when it’s not happy. I feel a lot better when I eat healthier foods and when I work out. I think when it becomes a habit, it becomes fun and you miss it when you don’t get to it. Even though it’s taking time, it gives you time. —Jayne Farrell

“My body knows when it’s not happy. I feel a lot better when I eat healthier foods and when I work out,” she says. “I think when it becomes a habit, it becomes fun and you miss it when you don’t get to it. Even though it’s taking time, it gives you time.” Healthy living has become second nature to Farrell, and she encourages others not to give up, even when things seem bleak. “There’s a crucial period when a lot of people want to give up because they think it’s not

working,” she says. “I think the key thing to remember is if they can just persevere at that point, it’s not too long after that when things start to happen, and that’s just when the body is getting into gear.” This year, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is urging Canadians to Make Health Last by making lifestyle changes, like Jane.

The Nissan Quest takes a different approach to the long-stagnant minivan market “The rumours of the minivan’s death have been greatly exaggerated” as Mark Twain once famously wrote. Or, wait a minute, I might have got that quote wrong . . . In any case, pundits have been predicting the minivan’s demise for some time. Some manufacturers, like Ford and GM, surrendered to forecasts of doom and gloom, gave up on their failing family haulers and replaced lineups with new crossover choices. Kia and VW dropped out temporarily, promising to return. And a few hung on to continue to exploit the diminishing but still sizable minivan market.

Chrysler, with a lock on the niche for over 25 years, still dominates with over half of all minivan sales in Canada, while Toyota and ROB BEINTEMA Honda, distant First second- and DRIVE third-place holders respectively, have held their ground with overhauled versions of the Odyssey and Sienna. Even Nissan, a small-time contender in

this class, refused to throw in the towel, returning for another round with a new, fourth-generation Nissan Quest, redesigned for the 2011 and still carrying on today. The Quest takes a slightly different approach. Yes, there are the usual requisite minivan elements — the big-box dimensions, the higher driving position, sliding side doors and rear liftgate, along with three rows of seating with cargo/passenger layout flexibility. And the Quest starts off simply enough, sharing Nissan’s “D” platform with Maxima, Altima and Murano. The Quest is taller but, at the same time,

smaller than some of its competitors, not quite as long or as wide. Character lines and “fluidic sculpture design” break some of the potential monotony of the Quest’s expansive sheet-metal sides. And, while its slab-sided exterior makes it look bigger than it is, a smallish turning circle also makes it surprisingly maneuverable. The most eye-catching styling aspect of the Quest design is an unbroken sweep of the full surround privacy glass. Accented by black sash molding and chrome trim, the Quest strikes a distinctively X See QUEST B12 classy pose.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the marque, McLaren has released the first of three films that express the spirit of the company.

Automaker launches first of three films for 50th anniversary

age of 32. Shot in Söderlund’s trademark, dreamlike state, it is accompanied by a spinetingling Bruce McLaren monologue, ending poignantly with the words: “What might be seen as a tragic end was in fact a beginning. As I always said, to do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. Indeed, life is not measured in years alone, but in achievement.” Ron Dennis, executive chair-

man of McLaren Group and McLaren Automotive, added: “McLaren’s history is long and storied, but McLaren’s legacy is harder to define — and that’s because it’s still being vividly written every day by the dedicated men and women who work at the McLaren Technology Centre. “Bruce McLaren wrote the beginning of the story and the legend is going to continue for many years to come. “I’m only a chapter, not the book, and I want other people to come in and write their own chapters as time goes by. “This is a book that’s still being written, and that, perhaps, is the greatest legacy of McLaren.” Parts two and three of the McLaren short film trilogy will be released in due course and promoted, like part one, via the company’s website, mclaren.com, and through its YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Inﬁniti debuts 2014 Q50 at Toronto auto show Infiniti Canada will stage the national debut of the Infiniti Q50 luxury sports-sedan at the Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS) in Toronto. Building on Infiniti’s legendary sports sedan design, performance and technology leadership, the all-new 2014 Infiniti Q50 is designed to create a new, distinct level of customer engagement when it launches in Canada this summer. The 2014 Infiniti Q50 will be the centrepiece of the Infiniti display at the CIAS, which runs from February 15-24 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Also featured at the Infiniti exhibit is the complete line of 2013 Infiniti cars and SUVs, including the all-new Infiniti JX luxury crossover and the championship-winning Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One racecar. As the official sponsor and exclusive automo-

tive partner of Cirque du Soleil touring shows, the Infiniti CIAS booth will also include animation by Cirque du Soleil Special Events for photo opportunities throughout the first weekend of the show. Two new world’s first production performance technologies make their debuts in the Q50 — Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering technology and Active Lane Control. The new steering system allows advanced control of the Q50’s tire angle and steering inputs, transmitting the driver’s intentions to the wheels faster than a mechanical system. Four different steering settings are offered, allowing customization by driver preference or road conditions. The Active Lane Control uses a camera-based lane-marker detection system to further enhance on-centre driving capability.

The first of three specially commissioned short films has gone live, depicting the McLaren brand in a way never before seen as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. Instead of focusing on the high-tech, high-octane world of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, or even the Group’s new Automotive division and its groundbreaking 12C and McLaren P1, the short film sheds light on McLaren’s very human back-story — namely that of Bruce McLaren, who founded his racing team five decades ago. Directed sensitively by Marcus Söderlund, a leading music-video maker from Sweden, the short film forms part one of the 50th anniversary trilogy following the ghost of Bruce McLaren as it retraces the scene of his crash at the Goodwood circuit in 1970 — the crash that took his life at the tragically young

Toyota will take the wraps off two contrasting new concepts at the Geneva Motor Show and also pave the way for two new model introductions that will strengthen its European model range in the coming months. The FT-86 Open and Toyota i-Road concepts will be sharing the spotlight with the new, Britishbuilt Auris Touring Sports and the fourth-generation RAV4 compact SUV. The Toyota FT-86 Open concept previews a possible future development of the award-winning GT86 sports coupe. The show car will help Toyota gauge public reaction to the idea while the company carries out engineering tests on the concept’s prototype. The Toyota i-Road has been conceived as a compact, fun and emissions-free personal mobility concept, designed to offer quick and efficient urban transport for two people. The fourth generation RAV4 will be appearing at a European motor show for the first time, coinciding with its market launch in Europe. The new model builds on its

The 2013 Nissan Quest minivan, starting at $29,998, offers a unique and family-friendly range of equipment choices and trim levels, culminating in the top-of-the-line 3.5 LE model, tested here with an MSRP of $46,998. Under the hood, Nissan’s 260 hp VQ35DE 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine is mated to an Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) with adaptive-shift control that provides power to the front-wheel-drive.

ZIMMER WHEATON • GMC • BUICK Congratulations Mike Kostynuk

Quest ﬁts minivan model, but does things different X From B9

It looks best in black, but passes itself off nicely in the silver shade tested here. Inside, you’ll find evidence of the slightly different approach. Rather than adopt a flop-intothe-tub third row, or a removable or fold-into-the-floor second row, Nissan has opted for a simpler fold-flat philosophy. Quick-release seats make that conversion easy and, although the overall cargo space is less than in some competitors, the resulting flat cargo floor offers good access and plenty of space. The tub behind the third row acts as a permanent rear storage well hidden under a sturdy 60/40-split multi-position removable cover. Quest’s family-friendly design includes power-sliding side doors and a lower than average step-in height intended to ease access for children or older adults getting into the second or third rows. It would help if the door openings were wider as well. Up front, the Quest offers room, comfort and a wealth of options available in a traditional instrument layout that dials down the kitschy eccentricities of earlier generations. The shifter protruding from the dash blocks some of the driver’s view of HVAC and audio buttons, and a little more range in tilt-telescopic steering extension would be nice but, overall, the interior ergonomics work well. Under the hood, Nissan’s 260 hp VQ35DE 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine makes more than enough oomph to get the Quest up to speed. The front-wheel-drive power is smoothly translated by an Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). Fuel economy is rated at 11/8.0L/100km (city/hwy). I managed 10.4L/100km on a 200 km highway run and averaged 13.6L/100km in real world, combined driving. The 2013 Nissan Quest comes in four trim levels — S, SV, SL

Nissan Quest 3.5 LE 2012 at a glance Body style: Full-size minivan Drive method: Front-engine, front-wheel drive Engine: 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 (260 hp, 240 lb/ft torque) Fuel economy: 11/8.0L/100 km (city/hwy) Cargo capacity: 190 L under floor; 728 L behind third row; 1,801 L behind second row; 3,070 L behind first row Price: 3.5 S $29,998; 3.5 SV $33,398; 3.5 SL $38,898; 3.5 LE $46,998 Website: nissan.ca

and LE — and carries over relatively unchanged, although price reductions for 2013 are listed below. The Quest 3.5 S, at $29,988 (price unchanged), starts with A/C, 16-inch steel wheels, rear roof spoiler, six-way adjustable front bucket seats, fold-flat second- and third-row seats, permanent rear storage well, first- and second-row centre consoles, Nissan Intelligent Key with push-button ignition and a four-speaker AM/FM/6CD audio system. The Quest 3.5 SV, at $33,398 (less $2,380) adds 16-inch alloy wheels, one-touch power sliding doors, tri-zone auto temperature control, power lumbar, fog lights and a conversation mirror. The Quest 3.5 SL, $38,898 (less $180), adds leather and heated seats with eight-way power adjust for the driver, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, power liftgate, HomeLink, autodimming inside mirror with compass, roof rails, auto headlights, quick-release fold-flat third row, outside mirrors with integrated turn signals, 4.3-inch colour audio display, six speaker audio with USB, Bluetooth handsfree phone system with steering wheel controls and rear-view monitor. And the Quest 3.5 LE, at $46,998 (-$1,580), as tested here, tops the list with Nissan Navigation, Bose Audio with

12 speakers and subwoofer, XM prep, driver’s seat & mirror memory, auto tilt-in-reverse outside mirrors, second and third row blinds, four-way poweradjust front passenger’s seat, 8-inch VGA colour dash display, 11-inch DVD Entertainment System with headphones and remote, advanced climate-control system, blind-spot warning, HID xenon headlights and a new-for2013 AroundView Monitor. Only three option packages are offered — DVD entertainment system (SV & SL), Bose and dual opening glass moonroofs (SL), and dual opening glass moonroofs (LE), although a long list of accessories are available. Some may think that minivans are on their way out, like Mark Twain’s steamboats, a fading icon of an earlier age. But, the new crossover choices of today are just evolutions on the same theme, whether they are tall wagons, five-door mini models of the minivan, or same-size SUV versions with more machismo and padded profit margins, but with the same unibody sedan platforms and functionalities of the minivan. I think the cycle will continue to turn and the minivan, in whatever form, will remain the most sensible and versatile solution for Canadian families. And, for now, the 2013 Quest offers a minivan alternative for Nissan loyalists shopping at their local dealer. And, with four trim level choices and a wealth of available options and accessories, the 2013 Nissan Quest also offers a different flavour and unique take on the family transport challenge.

While ice-cold winter weather sweeps across Lake Shore Drive, the Dodge brand heats up the 2013 Chicago Auto Show this week by building on Challenger’s red-hot record selling year, Chicago will see the introduction of the new Challenger R/T Redline with modern muscle-car cues, a potent Hemi V8 engine throwing down 375 horse power and a performance-tuned chassis for world-class dynamics. This new Challenger delivers exactly what Dodge fans want. The new 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline builds on the success of the 305 hp V6 Challenger Rallye Redline model that arrived in the middle of the 2012 model year. Following Dodge Challenger’s signature A-line bodyside character line, an all-new two-color Redline Red and Graphite stripe runs from behind the front wheel arches to the tail. For a distinctive look, the rear-quarter section of the stripe features the “Redline” name in Red over Graphite color scheme. For a distinctive look, the R/T Redline features a body-color grille surround. Filling the wheel wells, the Dodge Challenger R/T Redline features 20-inch black chrome wheels with a Redline red lip and inner backbone for a one-of-a-kind look For the performance enthusiast, the 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline features the legendary 5.7litre Hemi V8 engine that delivers up to 375 horsepower and 410 lb/ft of torque When paired with the track-proven Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission, the Dodge Challenger R/T delivers smooth shifts, while delivering even more power through unique performance-tuned dual exhaust and under-floor mufflers with low-restriction bottle resonators. The result — 0-60 mph runs in the low-5second range and a sinister exhaust growl for the cars left in its rear-view mirror; a trademark of the original Challenger Hemi from more than four decades ago. The Chicago Auto Show began on Feb. 9 and runs through Feb. 18.

BLAZERS IN HIS BLOOD: Two-year-old Nathaniel Colligan waits patiently next to the area where the Kamloops Blazers emerge from their dressing room at Interior Savings Centre. While mom Brooklyn Schmidt keeps watch in the background, Nathaniel managed to get a fist-bump from his favourite Blazer — Colin Smith.

RUSS BLACK Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend Russ, age 75, passed away in the early morning hours of Thursday January 31, 2013 at the Vermilion hospital. The Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday February 5, 2013, at Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic Church in Vermilion, Alberta with Celebrant, Father Adam Deren. Russ leaves to mourn his loving wife Grace (Married 47 years) of Vermilion. He was the proud father of daughter Andrea (Cam) Bell of Calgary, son Russell Ross (Lena) Black of Vermilion; Grandfather of cherished grandchildren Liam, Jared and Clay Bell; Zachariah and Hannah Black. His dear Sister and friend Stella Black and Brother Walter (Odell) Black both of Kamloops, BC. Russ was predeceased by his parents Fred and Julia Black and sister-in-law Martie Black. He passed away following a 5 year determined and courageous challenge with chronic leukemia. Most recently he spent time at both the University of Alberta and Vermilion hospitals. Russ was born and raised in Kamloops, BC. Russ was a proud member of the RCMP (1960 to 1980). His service was entirely spent in “F” Division, Saskatchewan. He was a very dedicated participant and contributor in his communities’ volunteer organizations. One of Russ’s greatest passions was the family gathering place at Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan. This became his and his family’s oasis to this day. His experience of life was most enjoyed there, which will be continued on by his family and grandchildren. During his retirement years, Russ truly loved coffee row, spending time and socializing with friends. Thank you The family expresses their sincere thanks to the professional staff at the Cross Cancer Clinic, U of A Hospital and the Vermilion Health Center. The family sends a special thank you to Dr. Maulud for her compassionate care. The family also wishes to thank those who made donations to the charities, ﬂowers, condolence cards, and for all the phone calls and visits. Thank you to the Crossroads Funeral Home for their assistance and guidance with the arrangements.

GORDON MACDONALD 1927 - 2013 Gordon MacDonald died on Feb.5, 2013 at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver at the age of 85. Predeceased by wife Terry in 1999, he is survived by daughter Carol Bryan (Len), son Craig MacDonald (Vicky) and grandchildren Sarah and Alexandra. Born in Vancouver, he lived in Ocean Falls, Vernon, and later Kamloops where he worked for CP Rail until retiring at age 60 after 37 years’ service. He shared a love for Labrador Retrievers, the outdoors, and hunting, with his lifelong friends Roy McNutt and Graeme Hanes. In later years, he loved to talk about his newest dog, “ Rocko the Chihuahua” who may not have been a Labrador, but certainly was Top Dog in his eyes. Gordon was fortunate to have wonderful neighbours all around him who provided him with unlimited support and friendship over the years. Special thanks to Barb and Merrick Morrill and the Kobayashi family for their ongoing support to the MacDonald household. Active until recent health issues, Gordon was still driving and attending his favourite Pensioner’s luncheons. He appreciated good food, good company, and certainly, good conversation. Gordon was a devoted father, grandfather, and ardent dog lover right up to the end. Service to be held at Kamloops Funeral Home, Wednesday Feb.13, 2013, at 1:30 pm. No ﬂowers please, donations to the S.P.C.A. and Kamloops Food Bank Welcome. Gordon was fond of donating non-perishable goods to the food bank, if you like bring a couple of items to the service in his honour for donation. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home ~ 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a aven penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.
