END OF A YOUTHFUL ERA

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Demolition of the McArthur Island Youth Centre began this week. The building that once housed the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops, the 204 Black Maria Air Cadets and seniors’ groups will be replaced, likely by an indoor-soccer facility. The city last year estimated the cost to replace the roof and other upgrades at $1.5 million, while demolition was pegged at $400,000.

IS CITY MUSEUM WORTH ANNUAL COST? ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A city councillor wants to see improved numbers at the Kamloops Museum and Archives to justify money spent on the space. At a regular meeting of council on March 3, Coun. Tina Lange said she thinks the museum’s visitor numbers — 15,000 in 2014 — don’t justify the $383,126 tax requirement to keep the downtown facility running. “It seems to be it’s time we re-did the whole way museums are done,” Lange said, suggesting the city look at integrating more historical displays into other buildings, similar to the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame at

the Tournament Capital Centre, rather than continue to host displays at its building at Seymour Street and Second Avenue. “I never go by there without stopping and looking,” she said of the Hall of Fame display. “I think if we have roving displays of heritage where the people are, that would be better.” Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell believes the city will see an increase in numbers at the museum that will put some of Lange’s concerns to rest due to changes in staff, including a new curator, and what he called a “new vision” for the space. “Our staff is being challenged to be more in tune with the community and make the

community more responsive,” McCorkell said. “Give us a chance. I think we’ll see that museum take its rightful place in the community.” The parks department is hoping to secure extra funds from the city for the museum as part of this year’s supplemental budget. The money would be used to convert the heritage B.C. Sheep Breeders Building on Lorne Street into a storage space for artifacts dropped off by the public and collected by the museum. McCorkell said the space would be interactive, allowing the public to get a behindthe-scenes look at museum operations. Repairs and a retrofit of the building would cost $150,000, funded via taxation.

Go down the lists of campaign contributions for Vancouver’s Non-Partisan Association or Vision Vancouver and you will find plenty of November civic-election donations in the five-figure range. In Kamloops, there’s only one candidate to bring in that much cash in a single donation — newly elected Coun. Dieter Dudy. Dudy’s $15,000 donation from Richard Antoniak was the largest of any in the city by a large margin, with Mayor Peter Milobar a distant second with a $5,000 contribution from developers Jeff Arnold and Frank Quinn. But, Dudy told KTW, the contribution — which covered all but $1,400 of his election expenses — could have been higher, had he wished for more. “I didn’t feel comfortable with that,” he said. “In fact, I didn’t totally feel comfortable with the amount he gave me.” Antoniak, who does not live within the City of Kamloops and could not vote for the candidate he supported financially, declined to speak to KTW about his donation. Other high-profile donors also refused comment or didn’t return inquiries at all. Dudy attributes the donation to his opposition to the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. Antoniak’s ranch at Goose Lake Road was one of many properties proponents KGHM needed to purchase for its operations. When Richard Antoniak and wife Sharon sold the property last year, they said they did not want to do so, but felt it was either sell then or be pushed out later after the company had purchased all surrounding properties.

An executive director fired by Kamloops Immigrant Services six years ago was “continuous and unrelenting” in her attempt to depose the board, a lawyer told B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, March 3. The Kamloops-Cariboo Regional Immigrants Society (KIS) and its president, Bernard Igwe, are suing Wanda Herman, alleging breach of duties, breach of confidentiality, defamation and abuse of process. Society lawyer Frank Scordo outlined events beginning in 2008, when the office that assists immigrants settling in the

Kamloops area became enmeshed in infighting and allegations of harassment, including sexual harassment. Herman’s goal, Scordo claimed, was to bring down the board headed by Igwe, “even if it meant the end of the society itself.” Herman was hired by the society in late 2007, given a salary of $65,000 a year and five weeks’ vacation. She signed a number of pledges, including a codeof-ethics policy, a confidentiality statement and a conflict-of-interest policy. The employee code-of-ethics warned against insubordination, Scordo said. Problems started in early 2009, when the board told Herman it would do a performance review following questions raised by board

member David Cruz after what he termed a “miniaudit.” Cruz, an accountant, testified as a witness for KIS. “Financial records, for lack of a better word, were grossly inaccurate,” he said. Cruz said he also found examples of Herman paying her daughter-in-law as a subcontractor and hiring friends for more pay than long-term employees. “The board was shocked,” Cruz said. In April of that year, Herman went on medical leave, complaining of abuse. “A hostile environment your board president has created has seriously affected my health,’” Herman wrote to the board. Scordo said he would prove Herman sought and

found new work at another non-governmental society shortly after and then started to plot the overthrow of the board and have it replaced with people friendly to her. In the midst of the political manoeuvring, employee Deborah Harrison made an allegation of sexual harassment against board member Vern Short. The society settled that claim with Harrison following a wider investigation by a Vancouver lawyer that cost $36,000. In 2009, stories appeared in Kamloops newspapers about unrest within the Kamloops-Cariboo Regional Immigrants Society and attempts to replace the board by gathering new members and voting for a new set of directors.

Herman was fired in July 2009, but Scordo said her attempts to upend the board continued. “From the start, she wanted to get rid of Short and Igwe,” Scordo told Justice Martha Devlin. “The attack was continuous and unrelenting. Even after she was fired, she called him [Igwe, in an email] a monster and a fool.” Herman apologized for that email, but the society continued its pursuit of her. The trial, which began on Tuesday, is scheduled for nine days. Herman’s lawyer John Drayton told Justice Devlin that his client has dropped her counterclaim against the society. Harrison is suing the society in small-claims court.

Student granted bail on assault charge TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University international student who admitted to police that he viciously beat and choked his girlfriend over a two-hour period in the off-campus apartment the couple shared has been granted bail. Vladislav Arnautov, a third-year TRU business student, also told police he planned to flee to his native Russia in order to escape any charges against him, court heard. The 23-year-old was arrested on Feb. 26 after an incident at his McGill Road apartment. In Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, March 3, Crown prosecutor Katie Bouchard said police were

called after Arnautov’s girlfriend, an international student from Ukraine, ran into the U-District Liquor Store with injuries to her neck and asked for help, telling an employee her boyfriend was trying to kill her. Court heard the violence began earlier in the day, when Arnautov became angry at his girlfriend after she spoke to another man. Arnautov then pulled out a knife and threatened her, Bouchard said, before taking her home and launching into a two-hour assault. Court heard Arnautov punched the woman and choked her into unconsciousness. When she came to, Bouchard said, he started again, grabbing her by the hair and slamming her head against the wall and floor.

Arnautov then told her to leave, court heard, and the assault spilled out into the hallway. Bouchard said both Arnautov and the victim told investigators the same story with similar details. Court heard Arnautov told police he brought his girlfriend back to consciousness by rubbing her cheeks. He also said he has voices in his head giving him orders and has delusions of seeing a figure named Kane, who protects him from his inner demons. Court heard Arnautov went on to tell police he has undiagnosed mental-health issues and scored 38 out of a possible 40 on a psychopathy test. Bouchard said Arnautov’s statement that he would flee Canada

to avoid prosecution, along with the seriousness of the allegations, means he should be held in jail pending trial. “Mr. Arnautov told [investigators] that he is going to leave the country in order to escape the charges,” she said. “You can’t have much clearer of an attempt to abscond than that.” Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate handed Arnautov’s passport to the court clerk and said two of his client’s friends have offered to stay at Arnautov’s apartment and be with him 24 hours a day to make sure he does not breach his bail. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame released Arnautov on $3,000 cash bail with housearrest terms, meaning he can only leave home to attend classes or for

two hours each afternoon to run errands. At all times, Frame said, Arnautov must be in the company of one of his friends. In addition, she ordered he have no contact with his girlfriend. She was seated in the courtroom as Frame handed down her decision and could be seen exchanging affectionate smiles with Arnautov, who was in the prisoners’ box. Frame noticed the exchange and reiterated the no-contact order. “Seriously, there will be no contact,” she said. “None between the two of you — at all.” Arnautov, who is facing one count of assault causing bodily harm, was also ordered to seek mental-health treatment. He is due back in court on March 30.

Mayoral campaign spent less than Kelowna, PG From A1

Dudy said he doesn’t feel the donation comes with an obligation to do anything but voice his opposition to the mine, as he would have done anyway. “Just to be vocal on the subject when it came up — not necessarily to go out and make all kinds of noise and feel like I was beholden to him,” Dudy said. Nor is he sure how much the cash, which made him one of the election’s top spend-

ers, helped with his third-place finish in the race. If anything, Dudy seems uncomfortable with the money, shaking his head over his purchase of 550 campaign signs. “In retrospect, I’m generally fairly frugal and, to me, that was excessive and that wasn’t me,” he said. The campaign’s largest spender doesn’t feel the same sense of excess. Milobar told KTW his campaign expens-

es, which came to more than $37,000, were reasonable for the combination of bus ads, signs and advertisements that went up around the Tournament Capital. He pointed to the Prince George mayoral race, where winner Lyn Hall and losing candidate Don Zurowski both spent more — $40,000 and $72,000, respectively — and to Kelowna, where Mayor Colin Basran spent $76,000. “I don’t think it was really an over-the-top push in everyone’s face, but advertising is

not inexpensive — and that’s what it comes down to,” Milobar said. While Milobar’s donor numbers were up substantially from 2011 — in that campaign, his list of contributions didn’t fill a single page; in November, it filled four-and-a-half pages — he said his campaign team didn’t set out to run a full campaign, as it appeared he would be acclaimed until the tail end of the filing period, and thus didn’t mount the same kind of fundraising effort.

TCC: $3 MILLION IN REVENUE For the second year in a row, revenue at Kamloops’ Tournament Capital Centre has crested the $3-million mark. In 2014, the centre brought in $3.056 million, up from $3.019 million in 2013 and enough to cover just over 80 per cent of the costs of running the centre, according to yearend numbers from the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services department.

Uplands listed for $650,000 CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the city’s largest low-income buildings is up for sale, causing concern among social advocates that rent may become unaffordable if a major renovation is undertaken. Uplands Apartments at 100 Columbia St. downtown is listed for sale at $650,000. It is the only significant low-income building on the South Shore not operated by a nonprofit society. It is composed of 11 primarily one-bedroom units. “It does need a lot of love and care,� said ASK Wellness Centre of Kamloops executive director Bob Hughes. The social agency has placed clients in the building and has helped do periodic cleanups. Hughes said some tenants on social assistance have lived in the building for 15 years.

Listing agent Rick Waters said he has received interest from owners of other lowincome buildings in Kamloops. “Run as is or great potential with full renovation and tenancy change‌ . Asking price reflects condition and updates required,â€? reads the MLS listing. Waters said the building has been listed several times in past, but not since 2006. It is owned by Robert Wing, a former railroader. He could not be reached for comment yesterday (March 4). Waters said scenarios for a new buyer include running the building as-is, upgrading it suite-by-suite to avoid evicting tenants en masse or evicting all the tenants and doing a complete renovation. The latter option worries Hughes, who said it would displace about 15 people with little chance of finding

housing at the same price. “As much as the city is breathing down his [Wing’s] neck on compliance issues, and it doesn’t look good with gentrification of the area, he’s given a home for 15 years to people who struggle to be accepted elsewhere,� Hughes said. Louise Richards, executive director of

Elizabeth Fry Society in Kamloops, said she is not aware of any significant funding available from B.C. Housing allowing a non-profit to purchase and renovate the building while charging subsidized rents. “It’s not necessarily in the best of condition,� she aid. “Something needs to be done. Losing it would cause pressure on other resources.� Waters said it’s unlikely the building would be knocked down and redeveloped as market housing. “There are parking issues,� he said. “It wouldn’t allow that many units. I’d see it being a fix-up.� Hughes said an investor who plows money into renovations will be looking to recoup that money. He said a resulting $800 to $900-a-month rent “gets out of reach for people we’re trying to find housing for.�

His intention follows the opposition NDP disclosing several universities and colleges have spent money on lobbyists.

said, and the tenets of Christianity will also be taught. While the school had originally planned to rent space at the Kamloops Christian School building on Cottonwood Avenue in North Kamloops, Savage said the location is changing to another building, an address he hopes to be able to confirm at next week’s meeting. For more information on Fidelis Christian Academy, go online to the school’s website at fidelischristian.com.

He said he will advise all B.C. postsecondary institutions they don’t need lobbyists but, as independent institutions, it will be up to them to decide. Opposition critics produced records showing Kwantlen Polytechnic University had paid consultant Mark Jiles $177,000 for “relationship-building� with the government over several years. Jiles also worked on executive compensation for Kwantlen, where school officials were paid unreported bonuses that broke government salary caps. That controversy led to Wilkinson switching cabinet jobs with SurreyTynehead MLA Amrik Virk, who was involved in the overpayments as a member of the Kwantlen board. The cabinet shuffle took place quietly in December, after emails surfaced that contradicted Virk’s claims he was not involved in the overpayments. TRU has used a paid lobbyist in the past. Garth Williams of Public Knowledge Canada was hired in 2005 to lobby for a regional chair in aboriginal prenatal and perinatal health. Seguin said that was before he was hired at the university and he was unaware of the details. “We believe we have strong lines of communication with government,� Seguin said, noting other universities also have staff whose only job is to liaise with government. It is part of his responsibilities, he said.

The Mount Polley mine disaster spilled millions of litres of tailings into Polley and Quesnel lakes and, eventually, the Fraser River.

First Nations take watchdog role in wake of Mount Polley tailings-breach disaster CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A co-ordinator for two North Shuswap bands responding to the Mount Polley mine disaster said the First Nations have assumed a watchdog position in wake of the Cariboo disaster. Jacinda Mack is mining co-ordinator for the Soda Creek and Williams Lake Indian bands, appointed in the aftermath of last summer’s breach of a tailings dam at Mount Polley. The breach spewed millions of litres of impounded liquid into Polley and Quesnel lakes and, eventually, Fraser River. Mack told a forum at Thompson Rivers University on Tuesday, March 3, the breach has awakened public knowledge the industry carries huge environmental risks, along with its prosperity. “Mount Polley was held up as the crown jewel in B.C. It was a new way of doing mining,� Mack said. “This was ‘how you do it right.’ It failed in under 20 years of operation.� The bands are working with the province and mine owner Imperial Metals on a containment plan for this winter’s runoff.

The immediate plan is to contain runoff with a partial rebuild of the breach, strong enough to hold spring freshet. While the snowpack is half its typical level this year, which lessens refill, the operation is being hampered by warm weather, making ground too soft for heavy machinery. Imperial Metals has been denied a permit seeking partial re-opening. Mack said both the bands and province found the application incomplete. The company is eager to begin producing revenue again and employees not involved in the repair work want back on the job. “What’s the big picture for the mine?� she said. “How will it manage water?� While initial and frequent testing of water quality has found no impact from the breach, Mack said it will take years before all the factors are known. The primary long-term concern is sediments in Polley and Quesnel lakes. “Impacts can come over time,� she told KTW. “It’s much more than six or seven months. How readily will metals be picked up in the environment?� A panel convened

following the Mount Polley breach recommended future mines use dry-stack tailings rather than wet-tailings ponds. KGHM Ajax is reevaluating its tailings plan for its proposed copper and gold mine south of Kamloops in wake of the recommendation from engineering experts.

KGHM Ajax initially had a dry-stack tailings pile planned, but its design has switched to a wet-tailings pond. Mack said the world is watching the followup to the disaster for signs of impacts and to see if the correct steps are being taken in its aftermath. She said the failure has awakened British Columbians to

the fact there is more to mining than money and that failures happen.

WHERE IS THIS STASH OF CASH?

S

chool trustees across B.C., including those in the Kamloops-Thompson district, must be scratching their heads at their premier’s apparent lack of awareness about what’s going on in their schools and administration offices.

Last month, Christy Clark suggested school boards grab a stepladder and start picking some “low-hanging fruit” to the tune of nearly $54 million over the next two years from district administrative costs. Later, Education Minister Peter Fassbender clarified that school districts must find efficiencies to get administrative costs down to 6 per cent, where they were 10 years ago, which requires 0.5 per cent savings this year and one per cent the year after. While there is a concern that trimming administrative costs will eat up valuable dollars that must go to the classroom, the province should lead the way by showing where this cost-cutting should be made. B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff has been quoted as saying Clark’s comments ignore the fact school districts are already working together to save money and have been doing so for years. Among the ideas being touted is converting school board meetings to a paperless model and moving professional-development workshops outside of school hours, thereby saving in substituteteaching costs — ideas that have already been adopted by some school districts. Bulk buying and sharing services are measures have been tried with more or less success, depending on the district and the circumstances. Everyone hates waste but, instead of making off-the-cuff comments, would the premier please show school boards exactly where the hidden cache of cash is located?

Welcome to the family

A

bout 15 years ago, my younger sister called from Ontario and, within minutes, turned my family’s world upside down. Well, to be fair, it wasn’t really my younger sister’s fault; she was just the person who knew the phone number to reach me to introduce me over the telephone with our older sister — a woman neither of us had ever met or even knew existed. It was an abrupt and stressful introduction to the world of adoption, a new reality that left my younger sister jubilant at meeting someone who not only looks like us, but shares our DNA and that of our parents. It left me in a different state — angry, bewildered, doubtful, confused and looking for some support. Perhaps the Adoptive Families Association of B.C. existed back then and maybe it had a Kamloops chapter at the time. But, I found no reference to it that might have led to a connection with someone who could explain all those feelings swirling around. Instead, I turned to the mental-health community and, after a session with a calming and insightful counsellor, left the meeting feeling OK that I was angry and confused. They were acceptable emotions, given the new reality. Janis Otremba understands the need for communication, for having others to lean on occasionally when working their way through the reality of adoption. Through a contract with Insight

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL Support Services, Otremba works with the local adoptive community in many ways — including putting together an event on Saturday, March 7, for the local chapter with the fourth annual Family Fun Day at Calvary Community Church. The fun starts at 1 p.m. and goes to 4 p.m. Sure, there will be food, crafts, games, face-painting and a 45-minute magic show by Clinton Gray, all key components when you’re bringing families together to interact. But, there will also be that sense of community, of shared understanding, of friendship that is essential for anyone touched by adoption. There’s one rule, however — what is said in the group stays in the group. That’s a good rule to have because all too often, adoptive families are dealing with issues they really don’t want to share with the world. This makes them just like pretty much every family. Maybe they’re just starting on

the long process, one with more checks, balances and intrusions into people’s lives than the system imposes on natural parents, and they need advice and reassurance. Perhaps they’ve adopted someone other family members aren’t quite ready to accept; maybe it’s a child with fetalalcohol syndrome, a disability recognized by the medical side of government, but not by its educational side. It brings with it its own complications in life, the kinds of challenges that make my own reaction to having a sister seem small and insignificant. If you are a member of this community, but have never heard of the organization, reach out and connect with them. The main website is bcadoption.com and there are links from there that will take you to lots of information. There’s even a link to the Forget Me Not Family Society, one designed for people touched by adoption. It might have helped me out back in 2000 when my sister came into my world, rewriting the family history, turning me into the middle child and leaving everyone in the family amazed our parents would have given me the same birth name they gave to the child they put up for adoption — and the same name my sister’s brother also shares with me. Confused? That’s some of the reality that comes with adoption — and it’s a reason why the work Otremba and the others are doing in the community is so important. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SEND OIL ARE ‘STARK’ STATISTICS TRULY STARK? BY PIPE, NOT BY TRAIN Editor: The Kinder Morgan pipeline has been in existence for approximately 60 years with no major spill during this time. Millions of litres of petroleum products have been safely transported through this line. I believe this is the only safe way to move them. There is an old saying: If there is a demand for a particular product, a way will be found to get the product to market. Today, millions of litres of petroleum products are being moved through Kamloops to Vancouver via the Fraser Canyon. The safety record of trains in North America is anything but stellar. It is not a matter of “if” there will be a major spill, but “when.” And, when this happens, the devastation to the Fraser River will be nothing short of catastrophic. E.A. Stratichuk Kamloops

Editor: Re: KTW editorial of Feb. 19 (‘Saving young drivers a must’): I read the editorial and the “stark” statistics regarding young drivers killed in B.C. between 2004 and 2013 which is 106 within a nine-year period. I am curious what the numbers were for adult drivers and passengers killed in that same nine-year period. I have a memory of electronic speed enforcement being introduced and discarded years ago. Now the proposal is to place them in “high-risk areas” because of teenage deaths? How is this going to prevent a teenager from making a bad decision before getting into a vehicle or while driving? I suspect this is once again the introduction of electronic speed enforcement to enable the government to garner increased speeding fines to line the coffers in the easiest way possible.

Absolutely no one wants to see anyone die, especially young people, but they do — and in different ways. It is the same as adults, some of whom who make bad decisions, just like the teens. Sending speeding tickets out to people who happen to drive over the speed limit in a “high-risk area” (I wonder who determines that and who knows where teenagers drive and what the high-risk areas are for them?) will not prevent deaths if people, young or old, do not make wise decisions. I get frustrated with the manipulation of people by using “stark statistics” to play on emotion and fear. I get frustrated when our justice system actually has a chance to protect the public from a person who is a proven hazard on the road, who has proven they will not desist driving, who causes the death of an unsuspecting human being and who is given a light smack on the wrist

because they had a tough past. This person gets a pass on being accountable for inexcusable behaviour, but can we send out more speeding tickets the easy way and collect more money and call it keeping the public safe? Sure we can — if people can be convinced by way of “stark” statistics. One more point: There has been a decline in revenue collected for parking in the downtown Kamloops area (as reported in the Feb. 19 edition of KTW). Let’s pretend it is not because of the new kiosks, people avoiding downtown due to frustration with them and the high price of parking. Here is an idea. We can make up that revenue by sending out electronic speeding tickets, considering the electronic kiosks are failing to live up to expectations of revenue collection. Sigh. Sharon Huuha Kamloops

ATROCITIES NOT DONE IN NAME OF ATHEISM Editor: Mark Gelderblom’s Feb. 26 letter to KTW (‘In this debate, let’s stick to the facts’) rebutting Bill Ligertwood’s column of Feb. 20 (‘The trouble with private religious schools’) regarding private religious schools stresses that we stick to the facts. Gelderblom states people become “blinded

by their fanatical atheist beliefs . . .” What Gelderblom fails to understand is atheism is definitely not a “belief.” In fact, it is simply a lack of belief. One cannot be blinded or fanatical about unbelief. Gelderblom then cites the deaths of millions of people as a product of a brand of atheism.

I’m not sure which “brand of atheism” he’s referring to, but the fact is, the horrific events he mentions were not done in the name of atheism. Yes, the people who did them may have been atheists, but that is incidental. The horrors themselves were not perpetrated solely because the dictators

were atheists. That’s more than I can say for the millions who have died horrible deaths solely in the name of religion and because the perpetrators thought they were doing God’s work. Yes, indeed, let’s stick to the facts. Diane McLeod Kamloops

“They’d be a lot more likely to save lives by enforcing the current laws against following too closely, speeding and using a hand-held device while driving. “The obvious downside of this proposed legislation is to make it easier to speed excessively in the left lane.

Province set to target left-lane huggers TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The left-lane-hugging road hog seems to be a species that particularly flourishes in B.C.

It can often be seen trailing a line of vehicles on the highway or cutting across lanes of traffic on right turns to get to its preferred habitat. Transportation Minister Todd Stone

said he has spent time in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario — and noted this inappropriate love of the left lane seems unique to the Left Coast. So, he’s looking at legal changes to make it easier to enforce the practise of keeping the left lane open for passing. Stone said the issue came up often in last

year’s rural speed-limit review. “One of the key things we heard from British Columbians all around the province was this frustration with left-lane hogs, people who tend to camp out in the left lane and seem to think that the left lane and right lane are there to serve the same purposes,” Stone said. “They’re not.”

One result of that review is a new road sign to replace the “slower traffic keep right” and “keep right except to pass” wording used in B.C. “Keep right — let others pass” with a graphic is the new design and it seems to be having some educational effect, Stone said. Accident studies have shown frustrated drivers following too closely or passing on

the right are risk factors. Premier Christy Clark said the problem should be dealt with, but she added a caution. “I think we should go a little bit easy sometimes on the folks who are in the left-hand lane going a little bit slow,” Clark said. “I think about my 75-year-old mother driving down the road and, sometimes

she’s in the wrong lane, and it might be really frustrating for the people behind her. But, we should try to be respectful and civil about that.” Stone declined to give specifics about what legislative changes are coming. Police told the ministry last year the existing law isn’t clear and tickets can be overturned in court challenges.

Last year, Bernice Hammett went public with the story of her son, Brad. In doing so, the Kamloops mom joined a legion of other British Columbians lobbying the provincial government for a program to help people like her son — adults who were treated for cancer as children and are living with the after-effects. NDP health critic Judy Darcy, who took up their cause, praised Hammett and the other members of the Pediatric Cancers Survivorship Society of BC for convincing the government to do just that. Health Minister Terry Lake said the program, a partnership between B.C. Cancer Agency, B.C. Children’s Hospital and the Provincial Health Services Authority, will be dedicated to

clinical and research needs of adults who had cancer as children. The plan includes improving services for cancer survivors as they move from the pediatric system to adult care, creating a registry to track patients to ensure they receive the appropriate long-term support, identifying past patients who may not be aware their current heath issues might be related to the cancer treatments and continuing to research and evaluate the program to ensure it meets the needs of the survivors and their families. Lake said the society members made the case that, while the treatments may have saved the children’s lives, they may have been left with after effects, particularly if their cancer was treated decades ago. “Now, we know so much more about how to treat it,� he said. Hammett’s son was treated

for Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare cancer that required treatment of and eventually the rebuilding of his cheek area, He continues to live with issues from the treatment. Darcy said Hammett and others who spoke out show “what a determined group can do. They were not going to take no for an answer.� When a private-member’s bill she introduced on the issue last year was debated, Hammett and others packed the legislature and the society was invited to join a provincial government working group to investigate their concerns. Darcy said there are an estimated 3,500 adults who were treated successfully for cancer as children, a number that will continue to grow as more diagnoses are made. “I’m over the moon for these folks,� Darcy said. “Now, they’re going to have a place to go.�

EARLY EXPOSURE TO ART ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“

Make sure to bring your grandparents,” 12-year-old Isaac Bean instructed as he ended his sales pitch at R.L. Clemitson elementary. “Or any other grandparents.” Tomorrow (March 6), students in Andrew Clare’s Grade 5/6 class will take over Exposure Kamloops on Victoria Street for the Amateur Artist Gallery Extravaganza — a one-nightonly art show more than a month in the making. And, after weeks of sales, marketing and financial training, Isaac and his classmates clearly have the target demographic for their first business venture nailed down. “Sara said that grandparents usually like to buy a lot of the art,” said Kathleen Moore, 11. “Grandparents get suckered in easily,” Isaac agreed. “Sara” is Exposure owner Sara Schreiner, who is lending the class both her gallery space and business knowledge. Schreiner said she came up with the idea of the art show

after helping her daughter, Tlell, set up another small business called Unicone — selling frozen treats on a bike while dressed as a unicorn. While working through Unicone’s business plan, Schreiner said she wanted more kids to have the experience of setting up their own venture. “If you introduce kids to business early and you tell them that, yes, you can do this right now, you don’t have to wait, they will take their chances earlier in life and be more successful,” she said. To put together the show, the class split into five groups. Finance students keep the books and secured a loan of about $350 from the school’s parent-advisory council, while logistics students will set up the show and make sure there are snacks. The product team sourced art from every grade level in the school, providing more than 60 pieces for exhibition and sale. Marketing students, including Isaac and Kathleen, have been doing media rounds, while the sales team is prepping for its big moment on the night of

the event — and Schreiner said attendees hoping to leave the sale with their bank accounts intact should be wary. “They all had to bring in an odd object and sell it to me, and I taught them to initiate conversation to find a need and then sell their product to me as a solution,” she said. “And, they’re really, really good at it, which is kind of scary.” Money raised at the sale will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund and R.L. Clemitson’s gym-improvement fund. Both Isaac and Kathleen are confident they’ll leave the night with few, if any, piece left unsold. “There’s lots of landscapes and cool stuff like that, and I think there’s also a bit of nature and people, polar bears and stuff like that. It’s awesome,” Isaac said. “We’re probably going to get rid of every single one except three.” The Amateur Artist Gallery Extravaganza runs tomorrow from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Exposure Kamloops, 351 Victoria Street.

The city has suggested it could hold a referendum on the project as early as this fall.

Battle at TRU looms

Thompson Rivers University will host the Three-Minute Thesis Western Regional Championship in April.

Sixteen competitors, all graduate students, will be given three minutes to explain their research work before a live audience with just one static slide to assist them. The winner moves on to the Canadian championship. Last year, a TRU master of environmental science student took first place at the Western regional level. The competition began in Australia in 2008, with the University of Queensland hosting 160 students. It has expanded to 170 universities in 18 countries, including 32 in Canada.

FIRED UP

Collin Shirley’s emotion after scoring against the Calgary Hitmen was contagious, judging by the faces of his Kamloops Blazers’ teammates. Calgary skated away from Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, March 3, with a 5-4 overtime victory, but Kamloops snared an important point, with the Western Conference playoff race coming down to the wire. For the complete game story, go online to kamloopsthisweek. com. It’s crunch time for the Blazers, who have turned their attention to an important game against the Spokane Chiefs tomorrow night (March 6) at ISC. KTW asked players and coaches if they are capable of handling the pressure. See how they responded to the question in tomorrow’s edition of our newspaper. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

here was gold to be had at Silver Star Mountain. Liam Applegath of the Sun Peaks Alpine Club (SPAC) placed first overall in the male division at the TECK U-14 provincial skiing championships, which featured slalom and giant slalom events. “He dominated,” SPAC head coach Montana Molyneux said. “He won five out of six races by a decent amount.” The event wrapped up on Sunday, March 1, on the mountain near Vernon. Applegath was not the only Sun Peaks skier who fared well at provincials. Emily Whitecross was third overall on the female side, while Joshua Jacoby won bronze in the male division and

MONTANA MOLYNEUX

Beckett Hooton placed sixth. Jacoby, Whitecross and Applegath qualified to compete for Team B.C. at the Whistler Cup, an international competition to be held at the end of the month. Those three, along with Hooton and Erin Cope, earned the right to ski at Revelstoke Mountain Resort at a Can-Am event, which will feature some of the top 12- and 13-year-olds from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and the northwestern U.S.

That event runs from March 19 to March 22. There were 107 boys and 98 girls vying for hardware at Silver Star. Sun Peaks brought 10 skiers, a relatively small number compared to the Whistler team, which had about 40 athletes, and the Grouse squad, which had about 35. “We’re a small group, but we have a really good group this year,” Molyneux said. “They’ve been getting top 10s in

our zone races but, at the provincial level, it’s obviously more difficult to get into those top 10 spots.” SPAC skiers Halle Smith, Delphine Langevin, Joel Elias, Colton Kovacs and Rio Shatzko were also in action at provincials. Molyneux, 27, moved to B.C. from Ontario to pursue a Master’s degree in coaching and kinesiology at UBC. “I liked it too much out here, so I decided not to go home,” she said. After working at Grouse

Mountain for two years, Molyneux moved to Sun Peaks to coach the alpine club’s under-14 group. She was promoted to head coach for the 2014-2015 season. There are about 130 SPAC members, with divisions ranging from under-six to under-16. Once skiers reach the U-16 level, they can chase spots on provincial teams and make names for themselves on the B.C. circuit. The next level is the national team, which might be a realistic goal for some of the up-and-coming SPAC speedsters. “We had some fast athletes going into the provincial races, but a lot of them really stepped up,” Molyneux said. “To have so many athletes on the podium and in the top 10 was really impressive.” Complete weekend results are available online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

WolfPack coach reflects ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Scott Clark is proud of how his team played in its final weekend of Canada West action. Clark, head coach of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s basketball team, and his team went 1-2 in a best-of-three playoff series against the Saskatchewan Huskies to end 2014-2015. The pair of losses were enough to eliminate the WolfPack from playoff contention, but that’s not what the coach was focused on a few days removed form the series. “I’m proud of how we performed,” Clark told KTW, earlier this week. “I thought we competed quite well and it would be a situation where I don’t think the players have any regrets. As a coaching staff, I don’t think we have any regrets either.” The WolfPack, who entered the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Explorer Division and won a play-in series against the Pioneer Division’s No. 6 team, the Winnipeg Wesmen, in the first weekend of playoff action, equipped themselves well against the Canada West’s top team in Saskatchewan. The Huskies — who are ranked fifth in the nation and will face the Canada West’s No. 3 team in the UBC Thunderbirds this weekend — may have won the series, but the Pack led all three games at the half. Clark said his team made significant gains during this year’s playoff run. Last year, TRU also played the Huskies, but lost in two straight. “The very first thing is, at

the end of the season, you can’t allow your last game to define your season. Your body of work defines your season,” the fifthyear head coach said. “The second thing is, you’re always looking for growth. Last year, we made the playoffs. Our performance in the playoffs was not maybe what we wanted it to be, for whatever reason. . . . So, now, this year, we’ve seen playoff basketball, we know what playoff basketball is and we grow — we win a playoff series.” The WolfPack lose three

players to graduation — Brett Parker, Brett Rouault and Tallon Milne — but Clark expects his underclassmen to fill the void left by the seniors. He hopes the players that remain can build on this year’s experience and again take the next step when they take to the court for a new season in September. “I think that’s what you take away from it,” Clark said. “It’s been a season of growth and the players should be very proud of that.”

Two more heading to Hall Jack McDonald and Bob Cowden are heading to the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame. McDonald, who moved to Kamloops in 1979, is a local golfer and administrator who will be celebrated for his devotion and passion for the game. A fine golfer in his own right, McDonald served as a zone director beginning in 1987 and as president of the B.C. Golf Association in 1997 and 1998. He joined the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1998 as a governor and served as first and second vice-president on his

rise to the presidency in 2010. The 2008 Sport B.C. official of the year is described by his peers as tireless in his efforts to improve the rules and the game of golf in Canada. Cowden, much like McDonald, has dedicated a great portion of his life to sports in Kamloops. The retired School District 73 principal began with school sports about 40 years ago, volunteering his time. He worked in the youth soccer ranks from 1986 to 1992 and with the Kamloops

Classic Swimming club from 1989 to 1996. Cowden has worked with the Canadian Amateur Swimming Association, the Sun Peaks Alpine Club, B.C. Alpine, Alpine Canada and the Kamloops Track and Field Club. He has climbed the athletics ranks both as an official and an organizer. Most recently, Cowden was chairman of the 2014 North American Central American Caribbean Under 23 Championships in Kamloops. He has accepted an invitation to officiate at

the 2015 World Masters in Lyon, France. The induction ceremony will be held on April 11 in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. The event gets underway at 6 p.m. Sam Lenarduzzi of B.C. soccer fame will be the guest speaker. Tickets are $45 and will be available at the Interior Savings Centre Box Office. Former Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Bob Brown heads the class of 2015. The Kamloops Rangers will enter the Hall in the team category.

To 100 Mile House they go. The Kamloops Storm will hit the road today (March 5), heading north for Game 3 of their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoff series against the 100 Mile House Wranglers. Kamloops leads the series 2-0. The Storm are expecting a big push from the Wranglers tonight in Game 3, a matchup that will be played in front of a packed South Cariboo Recreation Centre. The 800-seat venue was already sold-out on Tuesday. “They have a really nice rink and, obviously, they get a lot of fans,” said Storm goaltender Bailey De Palma, who has not allowed a goal in three postseason appearances. “But, I don’t think it’s any different than any other place. We just have to play our game and do the little things right.” With two games already in the books and two wins to their credit, thoughts around Kamloops have turned to the possibility of a Storm sweep of the Wranglers. But, in the Kamloops dressing room, players and coaches are being careful not to get too far ahead of themselves. “Your goal is always to sweep but, in reality, they’re a good team and it’s going to be a hardfought series,” said Storm head coach Ed Patterson, noting even winning one of two games would be a successful trip. “Any time you pick up wins on the road, they’re always positive in the playoffs, especially when you have home-ice advantage.” “You never really think about

the sweep too much. You just think about each game and each shift,” De Palma said. “You just play to win every day.” It might not seem it, but 100 Mile House is one of the premier locales in the KIJHL, if only because of its fan support. The Wranglers are the attraction in the Cariboo town and routinely sell out their newly erected venue. The fans are known around the league for travelling with the team and are vehement in their support of the club. After announcing the 50/50 winnings in Game 2 on McArthur Island, about $86, Wranglers fans told KTW winnings during the Chase series topped $1,200. Patterson sees his team feeding off the hockey-mad town, though, rather than being hindered by it. “To me, when you’re in the playoffs and you get a crowd, I don’t care if you’re home or away, it’s awesome,” he said. “I’ve played in plenty of sold-

out rinks on the road and I get just as fired up from it as the home team. It’s the energy, the atmosphere and the excitement that the fans create. You don’t care if they’re not cheering for you.” OVERTIME — The Storm will be without captain Felix Larouche for the third-consecutive game today — Larouche is nursing a groin injury. On Tuesday, he told KTW he’s not sure when, or if, he will be able to return to the lineup. In five playoff games, Larouche leads the Storm in scoring with four goals and one assist . . . The winner of the series between Kamloops and 100 Mile House will play the winner of the Osoyoos-Summerland showdown. Osoyoos is up 2-0 . . . The Sicamous Eagles are searching for a new coach after their firstround playoff series against the Kamloops Storm. It’s unclear when their former head coach, Blair Robinson, left the team. Robinson is a two-time KIJHL coach of the year.

Lions bow out of playoffs Caps out to silence critics Two losses to Kelowna ended the North Kamloops Lions’ playoff run in midget tier 1 action on the weekend. Kelowna blanked North Kamloops 6-0 at Memorial Arena on Saturday, Feb. 28, and the Lions fell 8-1 in the Little Apple on Sunday. Cody Kirbyson tallied the only goal for North Kamloops, with Bryce McDonald and Michael Fidanza adding assists. Spencer Eschyschyn and Kolby Pauwels each spent time between the pipes on the weekend. With the victory, Kelowna claimed the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA) banner.

JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps spent most of last season trying to prove doubters wrong. They find themselves in much the same boat heading into this campaign. After the messy departure of reigning Golden Boot winner Camilo Sanvezzo and with an untested rookie head coach in Carl Robinson, the Whitecaps overcame a number of hurdles in 2014 to qualify for the playoffs. The Major League Soccer club is more than happy to fly under the radar again when the schedule kicks off at home on Saturday, March 7, against Canadian rival Toronto FC. “That’s fine. Actually probably prefer that. I want to be the underdog,’’ defender Steven Beitashour said. “I don’t want people looking at us and giving us their best game. I want to be the underdog and [have teams] kind of overlook us. I know we’re going to come in and show them how we’ve been working and that we’re ready, because everyone here knows that we’re ready.’’ Unlike their weekend opponent, which spent a second straight off-season overhauling its roster with highpriced acquisitions, the Whitecaps prefer to develop players in their youth academy and mine for overseas talent

in lesser-known leagues. Among the notable additions to complement the squad’s 22 returnees are a pair of Uruguyans in striker Octavio Rivero and defender Diego Rodriguez, while veteran MLS centre back Pa-Modou Kah was signed after the team and Andy O’Brien couldn’t agree on a new contact. “The club has a strategy and they follow it,’’ goalkeeper David Ousted said. “I’m content enough with us not signing what you call ‘big names.’ I think the signings we have gotten in are big names, but they’re big names based on what they do on the pitch.’’ The Whitecaps grabbed the final Western Conference post-season spot for the second time in three years in 2014 before losing to FC Dallas in the first round. But, the strides made under Robinson didn’t impress many observers — bookmakers have Vancouver listed at around 30-1 to lift the MLS Cup in 2015. “I don’t mind being written off. We were written off last year when at the start of the year I took the team and we’d lost Camilo,’’ said Robinson. “I agree with (doubters) in a certain respect because we didn’t score enough goals, but I managed to drag the group into the playoffs, which is a fantastic achievement for that young group of players. Football’s about proving people wrong. “That’s the beauty of the game.’’

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam Ă´ BEVERLEY DIANNE BUCKHAM (nĂŠe BOND) Beverley Dianne Buckham (nee Bond) passed away peacefully early in the morning of Friday, February 6 in Overlander Extended Care Facility surrounded by members of her family. Dianne was a pillar within her large Kamloops based family and will be lovingly remembered by her husband Jack, her children Bradley (Dionne) and Aaron (Tanya), her sisters Karen (Ted) Chayeski, Kenda (Ron) Pauwels, and Vicki (Don) Hay, brothers Jim (Holly) and Gerry (Beth) Bond, and numerous nephews and nieces. Dianne is also survived by five adoring grandchildren Madison, Alex, Tyson, Daryn and Riley who brought her great joy and purpose. Consistent with how she approached all challenges in life, Dianne bravely faced Alzheimer’s Disease for several years and her family is relieved that she is now reprieved from that battle. Dianne was born to Ainslie Kenneth (AK) and Doris Bond in Dawson City, Yukon in 1943 and moved to Kamloops, BC in 1957 by way of Vancouver and Enderby as AK moved between RCMP detachments. Dianne was an accomplished student athlete and particularly excelled in basketball. She was a member of the 1960 Kam-Hi Red Angel provincial championship team that is now enshrined in the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame. Dianne continued her basketball career as a scholarship student at the University of British Columbia and also participated in the sport at the 1982 BC Winter Games. Dianne shared her love and knowledge of sport with Kamloops’ youth as a teacher, coach and mentor at MacArthur Park Junior High School, NorKam Senior Secondary and St. Anne’s Academy. Dianne’s professional career changed course in 1989, when she joined the Mutual Group/Sun Life as a financial planner. In that new setting, she delivered the same fervor as in her sporting exploits until her retirement in 2008. Dianne was a vibrant, energetic, and passionate individual who valued, above all things, opportunities to empower other people. She impacted the lives of many in the Kamloops community in her various roles as an educator, a coach, a financial planner and as a wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother. For those in difficult circumstance, Dianne’s time, patience and compassion were assured. This was especially true for the younger generation; Dianne dreamed big on behalf of many maturing minds and her genuine concern for their ambitions forged special bonds. For some, her influence was realized over a few direct conversations, and for others it was relayed over a lifetime. Her wisdom and conviction enabled many people to make today’s difficult decisions in order to produce tomorrow’s happiness. To honour her memory, Dianne’s family asks that those whose hearts she touched extract a few moments from daily routine to consider a passage she lived by and how they might share it with those she was deprived of the chance to meet by her illness, “You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.â€? Dianne’s family wishes to thank the staff and Caregivers of Overlander Extended Care Facility for their exceptional care of and emotional investment in Dianne. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, March 8, 2015 at 2 pm at the South Thompson Inn & Conference Centre, 3438 Shuswap Rd. East, Kamloops, BC. on-line at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com. Should friends desire, donations may be made in her memory to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

ROBERT (BOB) GLENN ESSELMONT August 3, 1923 – February 21, 2015 Robert (Bob) Glenn Esselmont passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 21, 2015, at his home at The Berwick on the Park, at the age of 91. He was predeceased by Mom Laura (Lolly) and eldest son Glen, as well as wives Elizabeth (Liz) and Doreen. He is survived by his son Randy (Ann), step-daughter Darlene Lutz (Don), six grandchildren, Glen’s sons Todd, Shea and Ryan, Randy’s children Stephanie McNabb (Jarvis), Greg (Audrey) and Heather Cook (Jeremy), as well as eight greatgrandchildren and one on the way. Dad was a loving father and husband, a very genuine, hard-working and generous man. He always looked for the good in other people, always ready with a helping hand and a terrific sense of humour. He was born in Clarkston, Washington, but moved to North Kamloops as a toddler and remained in the Kamloops area for the rest of his life, with the exception of the Second World War, where he served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1940 – 1945. He worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway from before the war until his retirement, a total of 45 years of service. He was also chosen to be the Engineer on the famous Royal Hudson as it travelled throughout the Western Provinces, a memorable achievement for his career. He was very good with his hands and built the house that still stands at 1046 Columbia Street, where he raised his family. He always enjoyed camping with his family and friends at the Shuswap Lake and after his retirement, moved to Sorrento, where he lived for many years. He was also an amazing golfer, a scratch-handicapper and he was a PGA Marshall while enjoying his winters as a snowbird down south. A special thank you to Doris Ringer, Darcy and Ken Ewers, Darlene and Don Lutz and the Berwick Staff for the care and love provided to Dad over the last many months. Dad was a terrific guy and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. To honour him, his family will be having a Celebration of His Life on Saturday, March 7, 2015 from 1 pm to 3 pm at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC. Anyone who knew Dad is cordially invited to drop by and enjoy a walk down memory lane with us. In lieu of flowers, if family and friends so choose, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation, in Dad’s name.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô RAYMOND FREDRICK MENSINGER It is with great sadness that we announce that Raymond Fredrick “Big Hummer”Mensinger passed away unexpectedly on February 19, 2015 in Kamloops, BC at the age of 56. Ray is survived by his loving wife Linda, his children Rob (Jessica) Mensinger, Tammy (Geordan) Mensinger, Kimberly (Josh) Price, and Carlee (Brendan) Mensinger, sisters Brenda (Rick) Mensinger and Denise (Dean) Imbeau and stepfather Archie Gilroy. Seven grandchildren Marloe, Savanna, Madison, Carter, Kasper, Teagan, and Claire knew and loved Ray as “Papa”. Ray was predeceased by his parents Harold Mensinger and Marion Gilroy. Ray was born on January 13, 1959 in Vancouver, BC. He had a fantastic childhood in Squamish where he learned his love of the great outdoors. He was an accomplished athlete and his infectious enthusiasm and energy made him a natural team leader and motivator. He followed his father’s footsteps and made his early living operating heavy equipment, eventually working his way into Alberta’s Northern oil patch. Raymond settled with his family in Kamloops where he turned his focus to building his marketing business with his wife. Their successes allowed them to retire at 30 and enjoy more than a decade of freedom and time to raise their family of four. His children remember him as a kind, gentle, patient father who encouraged them to pursue their goals. Raymond returned to work five years ago for West-Can Trucking where he met and developed friendships that would prove to be both meaningful and lasting. He also credited this experience for inspiring him to refocus on and further develop his marketing business. Ray’s bigger-than-life personality, wicked sense of humor and say-it-like-it is dialogue made him an inspirational public speaker, mentor and friend. He was a generous individual who loved dream-building and encouraging people to reach their potential. He never hesitated to volunteer his time, expertise and knowledge to those around him, as he believed he could change the world through helping others. Whatever Ray did, he did it with the relentless passion of someone who loved life. He was hard to miss, impossible to ignore and unlikely to forget. His passing will leave a Ray-sized hole in the lives of many. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for 2:30 pm on March 14, 2015 at the Colombo Lodge located at 814 Lorne St., Kamloops, BC V2C 1W8 with a reception to follow at the same location. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Ray’s life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Kamloops Hospice House at 72 Whiteshield Crescent, Kamloops, B.C., V2E 2S9. The family would like to thank the caregivers and staff at Kamloops Hospice House and Royal Inland Hospital for their care and compassion throughout this difficult time.

ROSE NELSON Ruzalia (Rose) Nelson, at the age of 95, passed peacefully in her sleep on February 22, 2015 at her home in Ridgeview Lodge, Kamloops, BC. She was born August 2, 1919 to John and Katryna Dowhaniuk, in Waugh, Alberta and was one of nine children. As pioneer farmers, they earned their living from the land and everyone had to do their share to keep the family going. She attended school in a one room rural school and walked the miles to and from. There were always chores and little money yet many happy times with trips to town and community gatherings. Along the way she met Mike Warman, a carpenter building on the farm, and married in April 1944. They left the farm and bought the Winnipeg Hotel in Grand Forks, BC. She was one of the first women in BC to receive a licence to serve beer. Sundays were reserved for fishing and picnics with their son Jim and daughter Margaret. Following Mike’s passing she met Harold Nelson, an engineer with the CPR. They married in 1969 and made a home along the South Thompson River in Kamloops. They both loved the outdoors and had dogs, horses, gardens and went fishing, hunting and camping. They spent summers guiding in the north country. Both were members of the Royal Canadian Legion and they loved to dance together. Following Harold’s passing she moved to Wedgewood Manor in Kelowna. While she had good physical health she was an excellent curler, lawn and carpet bowler winning several trophies and awards. She was an avid card player and enjoyed every outing with friends playing bridge and cribbage. Arthritis had taken a toll on her body and she moved to the Pioneer Residence in Barriere in 2010 to be near family and then into Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops for the additional care she needed. She loved her family above all and cherished her lifetime friends. Always cheerful, loving and caring with a special gift of laughing at anything silly she might have said or done, she touched our lives and is missed greatly by son Jim and Dorothy Warman, daughter Margaret Warman and partner Peter Hubert, step-daughter Dale Markstrom (Nelson), granddaughters Leanna (Alistair) Blachford, Chandra (Lex) Carstensen, Kyla (Chris) Matheison, great grand children Wyatt, Laurian, Ike, Freya and Eion, brother Bill and Polly Dowhaniuk, sister Paula (Agnew), and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by husbands Mike Warman and Harold Nelson, parents John and Katryna Dowhaniuk, brothers Alex, Nick, and Mike and sisters Helen Tkach, Annie Szlabey and Mary Storoz. Family and friends will meet in Barriere at Easter to celebrate Rose’s life and she will rest with her parents and siblings at St. Micheals Cemetery in Edmonton. We are so grateful to have had the special, personal care provided by very special people at Barriere Pioneer Residence and the Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops.

WONDER OF WHITECROFT WATERFALL TERESA CLINE

SPECIAL TO KTW

I

have been going up to Sun Peaks to ski, hike and hang out since the mid-1980s. In fact, I even spent some of my high-school years working as a ski instructor. Since so many of the staff members of what was once called Tod Mountain lived in Whitecroft, I also spent a lot of time in the quaint hippy village, visiting friends and coworkers. That is why I was absolutely surprised to learn there is a beautiful, secret waterfall on the way to Sun Peaks. How could I have not known about this serene little spot located a short walk from the main road? Probably for the same reason I was unaware of so many of Kamloops’ gems for so many years — I never looked. I got so used to going to the same places all the time that it never occurred to me to explore new areas. I first found out about the Whitecroft Waterfall on Facebook. My friend Marcia Wilson’s talented son Alex posted the most beautiful picture of the waterfall on his Facebook page, Alex Mey Photography. An online search uncovered a page on the waterfall at samtsai.com, with more pictures and a map showing how to get there. There is even a picture of some inuksuks people had built along the

path, giving the place a spiritual feel. During a particularly foggy January day in Kamloops, I decided to head up to Sun Peaks, where the sky was blue due to an inversion. Along the way, I finally stopped and checked out the waterfall. I easily found the trailhead and parked along the side of the road, then followed the tiny snow-beaten path past what appeared to be some water-intake buildings. The path was hard-packed and a bit slippery, making me wish I had come prepared with hiking poles and snow grips. After a walk of between five and 10 minutes, I was rewarded with the most stunning waterfall gushing out of a white frame of ice and snow. If it was this beautiful in the winter, I could only image what a serene place it would be in the summer. I vowed to come back when the snow had melted and the moss-covered rocks and inuksuks were uncovered from their blanket of snow.

HOW TO GET THERE

Drive toward Sun Peaks Resort and, when you get to the small village of Whitecroft, drive past it a very short distance and look toward the right, where you will see a chained gate with a trailhead. Park on the side of the road and follow the trail for about five or 10 minutes. For other interesting places to visit in the Interior of British Columbia, go online to teresathetraveler.ca.

Whether viewed in summer (left) or winter (right), the Whitecroft Waterfall near Sun Peaks is a breathtaking work of natural art.

Guilty plea for man ‘Life without parole’ panned by critics who impersonated Harper wants to throw away the key for worst of the worst criminals Most dangerous killers are “ already denied parole and Canadian soldier held for life. PAOLA LORIGGIO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A Quebec man accused of impersonating a Canadian soldier has pleaded guilty to unlawfully wearing a military uniform and medals. Two other charges against Franck Gervais of impersonating a public officer have been dropped. Gervais came into the public spotlight last November after he was interviewed while wearing a military uniform, including a medal of bravery and other decorations, near Ottawa’s National War Memorial on Remembrance Day. Almost immediately after the interview was aired, questions were raised by a number of veterans about his identity and whether he was actually a soldier. In fact, the 32-year-old Gervais was not a member of the Canadian Forces. Gervais, who lives in Cantley, Que., appeared in an Ottawa

FRANCK GERVAIS

court yesterday (March 4), where he pleaded guilty to the unlawful use of a military uniform and unlawful use of military decoration. Outside the courthouse, Gervais’s lawyer Claude Levesque said his client feels remorse for what he has done. “My client apologizes for his action,’’ Levesque said. “He never wanted to disrespect the men, women who wear the uniform or their sacrifice, and for that he apologizes.’’ Gervais is to be sentenced May 11.

TORONTO — The Tory government’s latest tough-on-crime initiative to make life sentence a sentence for life without parole appears to be aimed at scoring political points rather than protecting the public, some critics and legal experts said yesterday (March 4). Prime Minister Stephen Harper told a Toronto crowd his government will introduce new legislation next week to ensure that what he called the country’s “most dangerous, violent offenders,’’ could not be allowed back on the streets. The new bill will “ensure that for the most heinous offenders and the most horrific crimes a life sentence in Canada will henceforth mean exactly that — a sentence for life,’’ Harper announced in front of a crowd that included families of murder victims.

�

— NDP justice critic Francoise Boivin

The legislation would apply to those convicted of first-degree murder involving: the killing of police officers or correctional officers; terrorism; kidnapping or sexual assault; and crimes “of a particularly brutal nature.’’ It would also apply to those who commit high treason. While hesitant to judge the proposed changes until the bill is tabled, some critics and legal experts said the announcement raises several red flags. “Most dangerous killers are already denied parole and held for life,’’ NDP justice critic Francoise Boivin said in a statement. “Sentencing reform should be focused on improving public safety,

not on scoring political points. Decisions about who is released should be based on the risk an individual poses to the community and how to best protect public safety,’’ she said. Benjamin Berger, a criminal law expert at York University’s Osgoode Hall law school, said the announcement comes across as “political sleight of hand.’’ “As things currently stand, the community is protected by the individualized judgments of a parole board,’’ he said. “The government appears to be asking the public to believe that they’re currently vulnerable and will be safer as a product of this legislation. Based on what’s been announced so far, I fail to see any way in which

that’s the case,’’ he said. Currently, those who are convicted of firstdegree murder face an automatic sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. Harper said that in order to address constitutional concerns, under the new law, some killers serving life without parole will be permitted to petition the minister for public safety for release after serving no less than 35 years. “This is not parole,’’ Harper said. “Unlike parole, decisions will not rest with an appointed board but with the federal cabinet, men and women fully accountable to their fellow citizens and to the families of the victims of these crimes.’’ Several families whose loved ones were murdered said the legislation would spare others like them the trauma of repeatedly facing their relatives’ killers in parole hearings.

RCMP will show Ottawa shooter’s video this week, provide ‘detailed update’ Many questions linger about Oct. 22 attack JIM BRONSKILL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — After weeks of speculation, members of Parliament will get a chance Friday to see the video Michael Zehaf Bibeau made last October before he killed a Canadian soldier and stormed Parliament Hill. RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson will use an open meeting of the House of Commons public safety committee to provide a ‘detailed update’ of the investigation into Zehaf Bibeau’s deadly attack on Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, said a source familiar with the matter. The source, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly and therefore spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the video would be shown to the committee.

Pressure has been mounting on the RCMP — and the Conservative government — to release the video to give people a first-hand glimpse into Zehaf Bibeau’s state of mind on the eve of his assault. Last month, the public safety committee, while affirming the RCMP’s operational independence, invited Paulson to appear at his earliest convenience to display and discuss the video. Asked about the matter yesterday (March 4), Prime Minister Stephen Harper said it’s up to the RCMP whether to release the video, since it’s part of an ongoing police investigation. “It’s not my decision one way or the other,’’ Harper told a news conference in Toronto. In the days following the attack, Paulson said he wanted people to

see what he described as footage of Zehaf Bibeau explaining his actions in a deliberate and lucid manner, which were rooted in his religious beliefs and opinion of Canada’s foreign policy. Paulson also said the video was made by Zehaf Bibeau himself and was recovered from a device belonging to the gunman, who was shot dead in Parliament Hill’s Centre Block. The top Mountie has since said that while some transcripts might be provided to the public, he didn’t think the video would ever be released. Many questions about the Oct. 22 shooting remain, including how Zehaf Bibeau obtained the rifle used, whether he was motivated by Islamic radicalism and if he had any help in the planning stages.

TSN to stop airing public tweets after Phaneuf-Lupul post THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — TSN says it will no longer air public tweets during live coverage after the all-sports network accidentally carried an inflammatory post from a viewer about Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul and team captain Dion Phaneuf’s wife during Monday’s NHL trade deadline show. A spokesman for TSN would not discuss how the offensive tweet, which ran on a live crawl at the bottom of the screen, made it to air. But Greg McIsaac did say “going forward TSN will not be airing public tweets during our live broadcasts.’’ The network read an apology on the air Tuesday night after a lawyer representing Phaneuf, his wife Elisha Cuthbert and Lupul threatened legal action. TSN said the tweet was broadcast despite protocols to prevent unfounded and inappropriate social media posts from running on the air. The lawyer representing Phaneuf,

Cuthbert and Lupul said when offensive tweets are broadcast on reputable media outlets, they become much more harmful. “I can tell you in the case of the three of them, Joffrey, Dion and his wife Elisha, they were humiliated, they were embarrassed, they were outraged that this could have happened,’’ said Peter Gall. “That it had gone beyond somebody sitting in his basement . . . that it could go from that to being on your television screen for everybody to see. “It was quite shocking and devastating.’’ The Twitter user who posted the tweet, Anthony Adragna, has since deleted the offending post and has tweeted that he had no control over it ending up on TSN. Gall also sent a letter to Adragna demanding an apology and threatening legal action. He said Wednesday he hasn’t received an apology. Adragna hasn’t responded to interview requests via Twitter.

Theatre for Living’s Maladjusted lands at TRU on March 14. DAVID COOPER PHOTO

PLAYING WITH PUBLIC POLICY DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

t’s easy to say Maladjusted is a play about mental health. Easy, accurate — but also incomplete. In the hands of the actors and crew of Theatre for Living, the play takes statistics and turns them into situations that have the capacity to touch their audience. Then, once touched and engaged, the troupe gives those same theatregoers the opportunity to have their voices heard, their viewpoints expressed. Think of it as participatory theatre that has, as one of its many goals, the hope it can in some way affect public policy. Maladjusted was created and is performed by people with mental-health issues and their caregivers. The cast includes Jack, a man diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD as a child who struggles with it and with the medications prescribed for him. It includes a social worker who means well when she finds Jack, now homeless, shelter — but it’s in an addictions-treatment facility, where his medications are confiscated. See CREATING, page B2

Creating more ‘human-centred care’ From B1

There’s the psychiatrist working with Jack, a man who is tired of the politics of medicine. The three storylines that touch on Jack come to a head — and then director David Diamond takes over and the audience becomes more than watchers. Under Diamond’s direction, some of the scenes are revisited to allow members of the audience to, in essence, become part of the play as they intervene, step up and make their own suggestions on what should be happening to deal with the specific aspect of mental health the scene is addressing. David Ng, outreach co-ordinator with Theatre for Living, said at each performance on its current tour — which brings

the play to Kamloops on Saturday, March 14 — scribes will record the interventions, the suggestions, the ideas, the concerns of the audience and, once compiled, the report will be sent to the provincial government in the hopes of having an influence on public policy surrounding mental health. Diamond, artistic and managing director of the Vancouver theatre company, has to maintain control over the second part, allowing it to be “a bit organic as the audience reacts” without seeing the momentum taken off track. The segment is facilitated

heavily, according to company publicist Dima Alansari. The point is to discuss how society “can create more human-centred care.” Each participant brings personal involvement in the health-care system to the play. Pierre Leichner, for example, is a former psychiatrist who was dismayed with the direction of the healthcare system — and gave it up, taking up the arts. Martin Filby, who plays Jack, brings to the play his own experience of misdiagnoses, reactions to improper prescriptions, coping

with various therapies all while learning to live with his mentalhealthy reality. Kamloops is one of 28 performances the company is presenting throughout British Columbia and Alberta. The cast takes the stage on Saturday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. Tickets are $12 for students with valid high-school or postsecondary student identification and $15 for the general public. Tickets are available online at eventbrigte. ca/e/maladjustedtickets-15492770293, on campus at the TRU student union offices i or in room S215 of the science building. They can also be bought at the Phoenix Centre, the Elizabeth Fry Society or at the White Buffalo Aboriginal and Health Society.

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Amanda Parker remembers the first time she dealt with someone who has schizophrenia — she was scared. Danika Maartman blames the media for creating the stereotype that jumps immediately into people’s mind. If there’s a violent crime and the media can, they slap a mental-health label on the criminal, even if there really is no direction connection. Savanna Pavan said she also had stereotyped people with mental-health issues because “before I started getting knowledge, well, you hold your own stereotypes.” The knowledge the Thompson Rivers University students is getting comes from being enrolled in the faculty of nursing. As part of their studies, they are required to do a community project — and, by bringing the play Maladjusted to Kamloops, they’re hoping that work will help others, like them, expand their understanding of mental illness. Partnering with the Phoenix Centre, the students are promoting and will record notes during the March 14 Theatre for Living interactive play.

The notes will join similar documentation at the other stops the Vancouver-based theatre group is making during a tour through B.C. and Alberta and all that information will be used to create a report to be sent to the provincial government. It’s all part of the company’s goal to use theatre to hopefully influence policy. Maladjusted is a half-hour play with three distinct storylines that eventually come together. The cast is composed of people who have dealt with mental health in some way, either personally or professionally. The project was assigned to the three students but, once they found out what it involved, “we really wanted this one, Parker said. Maartman agreed, seeing it as a way to address the issue for Kamloopsians who attend the performance in a way that’s not clinical or stereotypical. Pavan has done a rotation through the Hillside Centre psychiatric facility and said one thing she’s learned is there medical charts might have the data but they might not include the realities that are also part of the reason behind the illness. As fellow student Parker said, it helps “if you also know their story.”

More than 70 countries are represented among the Thompson Rivers University student body

Indigenous focus of International Days DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

C

anadian anthropologist Wade Davis, officially the explorerin-residence with National Geographic, is considered one of the pre-eminent experts on indigenous people. Through his research, he’s spoken out on cultures and languages that are vanishing from society — 50 per cent of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages are no longer taught, he says, identifying language as akin to old-growth forests of the mind. Through 15 books, several films and an eight-hour documentary series, Davis has examined the world’s indigenous cultures — and he brings that insight and expertise to the annual International Days at

Thompson Rivers University this month. Davis is the keynote speaker at the event’s opening ceremonies on Tuesday, March 10, taking the stage at the Grand Hall on campus during the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. part of the program. This year, International Days is focusing on the indigenous, internationalization and online and global learning as it showcases many of the 70 countries represented in the university’s student body, along with 1,485 aboriginal students. The four-day festival touches many aspects, from food entertainment to political realities like the crisis in Congo. There are workshops on making pineneedle baskets, knitting and quilting, making an aboriginal drum and beading, among other crafts. Sylvia Dantas, a Brazilian academic, will give a talk on migration and gender roles

on Wednesday, March 11, at 2:30 p.m. in the International Building’s Panorama Room. Later that day in the same room, Peter Cunningham, senior academic researcher at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa, will speak on that country’s transition to democracy. On Thursday, March 12, again in the Panorama Room, Valmaine Toki, a law professor at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and vice-chair of the United Nationals Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, will speak on the 170-year history of the Maori in that country and the steps they took to obtain the right to govern themselves. There are many other sessions planned throughout the campus. The schedule can be downloaded at tru.ca/internationaldays/schedule.html.

Lottery helps SPCA The return of the BC SPCA Lottery for animals means helping animals in need and, potentially, put thousands of dollars in your pocket. Tickets are on sale for the 2015 BC SPCA Lottery for animals in need, which funds urgently needed medical care, sheltering, spay and neuter services, advocacy, adoption, foster care programs and other services provided for homeless and abused animals in BC SPCA shelters across the province. The BC SPCA is focusing on the province’s overwhelming cat overpopulation crisis with education and prevention strategies intended to help end the suffering of thousands of homeless and abandoned cats, as outlined in its fiveyear Strategic Plan. “There’s $100,000 in cash prizes in this year’s BC SPCA Lottery for animals in need,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events, BC SPCA. “It’s a win-win for animal lovers. You’ll help save the lives of animals in need throughout the province and have the chance to win one of 31 cash prizes. “We know money isn’t everything, but it can sure help to have some extra cash on hand.” Tickets are $25 each, three for $60 and five for $90. There are daily cash prizes throughout June — $2,500 each day and $5,000 on Fridays — with a special prize of $10,000 awarded on Father’s Day. There’s also an early bird draw on May 11 for $7,500 (the early bird ticket purchase deadline is April 26). To order tickets, call 604-205-5998 or request your tickets online at spca.bc.ca/ lottery.

KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

Jeep Renegade stylish for Great White North By Zack Spencer Driveway Canada OHC

N

ot that long ago, if an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle was on a buyer’s shopping list, the options were largely limited to SUVs and trucks. Today, the automotive landscape has exploded with manufacturers offering many more AWD vehicles. In fact, 48 per cent of all vehicles purchased in Canada come with AWD or four-wheel

drive (4X4). For Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Canada (Formerly Chrysler Canada), the percentage is even higher — at roughly 58 per cent thanks, in part, to the success of the Jeep brand and the many vehicles sold under that off-road-ready marque. The latest entry, the Jeep Renegade, will be arriving at dealerships around April, but recently I had a chance to drive this small Jeep in classic Canadian winter conditions just outside of Montreal.

DRIVE WAY

Advice to truck owners: Don’t drive into a watery grave Your truck’s transmission, transfer case and front- and reardifferentials must be

vented to compensate for changes in air pressure as temperatures go up and down when you drive, but when you are driving offroad in wet conditions, the most likely place for water to enter is through those vents. Water contaminates lubricants that protect parts, which can lead to bearing and gear damage. To prevent this, attach a rubber or vacuum hose to each vent and extend it to a high location on the truck. The length of tubing required will depend on your vehicle, but 30 to 35 centimetres should be enough. Before you begin, locate the vent on each component. Determine if each vent is a tube or a cap style. If it is a tube style, make sure the hose fits tight and secure it with a small hose clamp, leaving excess hose length to route upwards. Cap-type vents are usually screwed in mushroom-shaped. Remove the cap from each one by unscrewing it. Use this for a sample and buy a nipple vent with the same thread size and replace the cap with the nipple. The new vacuum hose for the transmission and transfer case vents can be secured along the frame or body to the firewall with plastic tie straps (do not over-tighten and pinch the hose) and from there up into the engine compartment. Make sure to secure the end. Leave about eight centimetres and bend it downward. The front differential hose is to be routed in a similar fashion, but allow enough slack for axle movement. The same goes for the rear differential, but instead of running it to the front, direct it up between the bed and cab of the truck. When you have finished, check the tubing to make sure it is free of kinks and positioned away from hot exhaust or engine parts. — Driveway Canada

DRIVE WAY

RENEGADE ON HEELS OF STYLISH CROSSOVERS From B7

Looks

The setting for the winter-driving program was at ICAR, an enthusiast’s racing facility built on the abandoned aprons and taxiways of the old Mirabel Airport, including a slalom course, road coarse and off-road adventure. The bold, orange Renegade jumped out against the howling wind and, at times, whiteout conditions. The Renegade is built in Europe on the same platform Fiat uses to make the allnew Fiat 500X. This cost sharing, multi-vehicle offensive is what has helped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to be successful over the past few years. The engineering and design was done in Michigan to insure

0 6WDUWLQJ IURP

the Renegade has all the classic Jeep characteristics, from the round headlamps and classic Jeep grille, to the trapezoidal wheel arches, appropriate ground clearance and overall bold styling. The Renegade is smaller than the Compass and Patriot models in the lineup, helping to promote the red-hot, small crossover segment.

Inside

With a high seating position and boxy roofline, the Renegade has a lot of headroom and large windows, making this compact crossover feel open and airy. The dash and surrounding trim is filled with eye-catching touches, like the speaker grilles and air vents that come painted for more panache. The front seats are supportive and provide a nice look down the

long hood, making this feel more “trucky.� The back seats offer plenty of room in this class and the cargo area is what Jeep calls class leading. Prices start at $19,995 for base Sport model with front wheel drive (FWD) and the first AWD model starts at $25,995. The volume leader will be the North trim with alloy wheels, starting at $27,494 for an AWD version. The problem will

be the higher end trims, like the $31,995 Limited, that look pricy compared to a bigger to a compact SUV, like a Honda CR-V, with a much more powerful engine, vastly bigger interior and a $30,000 AWD starting price.

Drive

FCA didn’t just have the Renegade to drive in frozen weather, but a selection of the 17 vehicles they offer with AWD or 4X4 capability. They were clear to

% $2,000 $35 Č•QDQFLQJ XS WR PRQWKV

point out that nine of the 26 models have AWD available even on the base trim. The Renegade’s base AWD system is a lighter weight active powertrain that can disconnect the rear wheels to save fuel but reconnect them in a fraction of a second if the temperature drops or the windshield wipers are turned on. On dry pavement, the system only needs to detect the slightest wheel slippage to

engage the AWD capability. In addition, there is a terrain-select knob in each model that lets the driver choose between auto, snow, sand, mud and rocks to alert the Renegades’ traction control, stability control and engine/ transmission electronics to keep the Jeep moving in different situations. The ultimate is the AWD system with a low setting for crawling over rocks, something Jeep purists appreciate.

Verdict

The Jeep Renegade follows on the heels of some other stylish compact crossover vehicles, like the Kia Soul and Nissan Juke, that provide a bit more flair, rather than just practicality. This new Renegade also has the advantage of being equipped with two sophisticated AWD systems to keep it

ahead of the pack. The base engine is a 1.4L turbo fourcylinder with 160 h.p., but this model is only available with a sixspeed manual transmission; if the buyer wants and automatic, the larger 180 h.p. 2.4L four-cylinder is fitted with a class leading nine-speed automatic. There is a whopping $2,990 premium to get the larger engine an automatic on the Sport trim and just $1,495 on the North, excluding the price premium to get AWD. At the end of the day, this Jeep has an attractive exterior and interior and is something fresh in one of the hottest segments in the market. The price can jump quickly if the buyer wants AWD and automatic. Time will tell if buyers will spend the extra to buy the higher end models.

DRIVE WAY

SWIVEL ALONG DOWN THE ROAD WITH YOUR 45S

A

nyone who has purchased a car has faced an overwhelming list of features on the window sticker. Over the years, there have been some imaginative features offered right from the dealership. Here are five of the more interesting examples.

Lightning Rods Shifter 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst

The Highway Hi-Fi did its best to stop the needle scratching your precious 45s. Not only is there a generous amount of suspension built into the record player, but the pressure placed on the needle was known to prematurely wear records out. As goofy as it may look, Lightning Rods have no problem putting the power to the ground.

The perfect option for any automotive enthusiast who just can’t get enough levers, the Lightning Rods shifter walks a very strange line between a typical automatic and a full ratchet shifter.

One major defect of the Rim Blow was shrinkage, which caused the horn to sound all the time.

Highway Hi-Fi record player 1957 Chrysler 300

Swivel Seats 1975 Chevrolet Laguna S3

It’s a wonder that more cars weren’t offered with swiv-

‘His-and-Hers’ Shifter 1969 Oldsmobile Hurst 442

One of the more sexist options to be offered on a car (to date), the Hurst Dual/Gate shifter was branded as the “His and Hers” shifter. The theory behind the ‘hisand-hers’ shifter was women wouldn’t want to be bothered by changing gears while driving. This option allowed the driver to kick the stick over and access all three gears “manually.”

Rim Blow Steering Wheel 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

elling seats, seeing as those troublesome stationary seats are always such a bother to get in and out of. While the swivel seat was designed for easy egress, an added benefit is that your vinyl won’t wear out nearly as quickly.

In a time before road rage, Ford, AMC, Chrysler and GM all thought it would be much better to get rid of the pesky horn button and just have drivers squeeze the wheel.
