‘A KILLER WALKS AMONGST US’ Gottfriedson urges local First Nations women to be careful

Local First Nations leaders are urging vigilance and asking for help after a skull found south of Barnhartvale in June was determined last week to be that of missing native women Samantha Paul.

“We call upon the public and urge people to come forward and speak up if they know anything about the disappearance of Samantha,” Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson said at a press conference on Monday, Aug. 11.

“Our community is small and it’s heart-wrenching and appalling to know a killer walks amongst us today.

“We cannot accept violence against or amongst our people, especially our women.”

Paul, 25, was last seen on Sept.

9, 2013.

In June, a skull was found near White Lake, about 15 kilometres south of Barnhartvale. DNA testing has since determined it is that of Paul.

Police have not said publicly whether she was murdered, only that foul play cannot be ruled out — but, Gottfriedson said, the evidence speaks for itself.

“In our hearts, we know that she was murdered and that foul play was the cause of death,” he said.

“We’re very, very concerned of the dismemberment of the remains of Samantha in an area she’s not known to be around.

Lack of inquiry a ‘national disgrace’

Shirley Paul (right), mother of Samantha Paul, is consoled by her sister Joyce Paul, during a press conference at the Tk’emlups Indian Band offices on Monday, Aug. 11. Samantha Paul vanished last September and, last week, remains found in June south of Barnhartvale were determined to be hers. Tim Petruk/KTW

“When her skull is in one spot and they can’t find the rest of her body, I guarantee that’s foul play.”

Paul’s relatives were present at the press conference.

Her mother, Shirley Paul, was too emotional to speak, but Joyce, Shirley’s sister, offered a few tearful words.

“We want proper closure,” she said.

“We want to know what happened. We need to know what happened.

“This is not an easy process.”

An exhaustive police search of the White Lake area last week turned up additional remains,

though investigators have not stated what they found. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the investigation is ongoing.

At the time of Paul’s disappearance, police described her lifestyle as “vulnerable,” and it’s believed she was a sex-trade worker.

British Columbia’s top-ranking First Nations chief says Samantha Paul’s death STEWART is the latest PHILLIP example of why the federal government should hold an inquiry looking into missing and murdered native women.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said native women are seven times more likely than non-natives to die as a result of foul play.

Lake plans fall meet with KAPA

Plans for an inland fishery at Kamloops Lake are proceeding with First Nations assured by the Secwepemc Fisheries Commission the Mount Polley breach won’t impact the salmon harvest. KTW file photo

Fishery plans going ahead

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Planning for a forecasted record inland fishery on Kamloops Lake continues in the wake of the Mount Polley mine disaster, which is not expected to alter the harvest.

The tailings breach caused several First Nations bands in the Lillooet area downstream on the Fraser River to close a traditional food fishery on Aug. 9 but further water-quality testing has found no contaminated samples.

On Aug. 4, the tailings dam at the open-pit mine near Likely collapsed, sending millions of litres of water into Polley Lake and then into Quesnel Lake, which feeds the Fraser River system.

The breach came just weeks before the start of the Fraser sockeye run, expected to see more than 20-million salmon re-enter the system to spawn, including at Adams and Quesnel rivers.

Murray Ross, who heads the Secwepemc Fisheries Commission, said the tailings breach brought some initial uncertainty to the unique inland fishery, which sees a contracted boat on Kamloops Lake harvest for commercial purposes.

It is still planning to begin net-

ting sockeye beginning as early as Aug. 18.

“We’ve ramped up our fishing effort compared to 2010 [the record brood year]. We have the opportunity for a second boat if we’re catching lots of fish.”

On Monday, provincial officials said water-quality testing on Polley and Quesnel lakes has found all samples are safe for human consumption and vary little from normal conditions.

The commission advises Shuswap bands on fisheries issues, including for traditional food fishing. Ross met on Monday, Aug. 11, with representatives of the Adams Lake Indian Band to report they should be OK to resume traditional fishing activities.

“I don’t think we need to have as much caution as a week ago. [But] there are still concerns and longterm issues we will have to deal with.”

Ross said he is heartened by early results of water testing as well as plans to test at the confluence of the Quesnel and Fraser rivers.

Environmental testing has shown the vast majority of water samples have come back at safe levels, according to Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines, stated a release

from the Ministry of Environment: “Water samples taken by Imperial Metals from the shore of Polley Lake on Aug. 7, 2014, have been tested and are very close to historical levels prior to the breach of the tailings pond.”

But, late last week, several bands along the Fraser reported finding salmon with skin that could be wiped off by hand.

“It’s not a risk worth taking,” said Xaxli’p First Nation chief Darrell Bob, who complained there has been no local testing by health or Department of Fisheries officials in the wake of the Mount Polley disaster.

Many families depend on the traditional harvest, whether by spear or dip net.

Bob said the uncertainty is too great and government officials have been silent.

“We haven’t heard from anybody,” he complained.

On Monday at Kamloops Lake, crews started building a dock, part of new infrastructure intended to land fish and get them on ice and to market more quickly.

The inland fishery hopes to net upwards of 250,000 returning sockeye using two boats on Kamloops Lake.

A few days after anti-Ajax protesters from the Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA) lined the street outside his North Shore constituency office, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake has agreed to meet with the group.

On the day of the protest, Aug. 6, Lake told KTW he didn’t want to meet with KAPA en masse “and have the same conversation over and over again.”

KAPA members have already met with Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart and were working on a meeting with KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone.

Now, Lake said he’s willing to meet the group in the company of his fellow Kamloops MLA. “We’re working with Todd’s office to try and set something up so we can do one session with the group, with both of us there hearing the same thing at the same time.” Lake told KTW. “That will probably be in September some time, given the way the timetable is shaping up.”

The reversal comes after a KAPA member disputed Lake’s claim he had already met with her on the mine.

KAPA secretary Fawn Knox said while she met with Lake in June, she did not do so as a representative of the anti-Ajax mine association.

“I was there as a complete citizen,” said Knox, who set up a meeting with Lake to discuss changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“I’m sure I did say on the ALR, they’re working on getting the grasslands out of the ALR

for the mine, and I might have said something like that, but we went off-topic on a whole bunch of things,” she said.

“We talked about education because he knew I was a teacher and the strike was going on.”

A few weeks after her meeting, Knox sent Lake’s office a letter from KAPA requesting a meeting with the group on KGHM’s proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen.

The request was turned down.

“Unfortunately, MLA Lake will not be accepting the offer to meet with KAPA at this time,” wrote Lake’s constituen- TERRY cy assistant Kirsty LAKE Morris in an email forwarded to KTW. “MLA Lake has consistently not met with people on this issue over the past few years and believes that we must allow the formal process run its course.”

KAPA members say they want to meet with Lake before KGHM submits an application for environmental review to the province’s environmental-assessment office because it believes there are flaws in the assessment process.

Knox believes Lake may have gotten mixed up.

“I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because it was two weeks apart,” she said.

“But, I was just mad about what they’re doing to farmers.”

Lake said the proposed mine was one of the subjects touched on during Knox’s appointment with him.

Knox said she’s looking forward to KAPA’s meeting with Lake.

“That’s all we wanted,” she said.

Council, chamber members walk, talk to business

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bill Sanesh had a list of concerns, but one was right at the top. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parking, parking, parking,â&#x20AC;? the Bikini Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner said, beginning a list of complaints and suggestions for improvement centred on where his customers can put their cars when they come downtown for a tanning session or swimsuit purchase.

Sanesh was one of more than 40 businesses owners who got a chance to bend the ear of members of city council and the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Aug. 7, during the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Chamber Walkabout.

Six councillors paired up with six chamber-board members and headed out to different neighbourhoods to meet with about seven businesses each over

a two-hour span. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives us a chance as a chamber and a council to talk one-on-one with our businesses,â&#x20AC;? said chamber president Aleece Laird.

Laird said other chambers of commerce have similar engagement sessions for their members, and she wanted Kamloops to try out the technique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conversation is kind of open,â&#x20AC;? she said, with business owners encouraged to teach their council-board pair about their operations, as well as spotlight issues and ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just real, general, open conversation.â&#x20AC;?

For the first event, Laird paired with Mayor Peter Milobar to canvas the downtown.

Bikini Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first stop.

Sanesh said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about the lack of downtown parking in the evening and dur-

ing community events.

He suggested the city look at extending paid parking and time limits on stalls into the evenings, in part to make downtown restaurants and shops more accessible during Blazer hockey season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My customers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in because people take spots and sit there all night,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sanesh said sales also often drop when community events take up parking stalls in the core, including Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market, which he said can reduce sales by 20 to 40 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old mantra that people come downtown and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shop, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old mantra,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very specific.â&#x20AC;?

Laird said the chamber plans to compile notes from the walkabouts and may raise recurring issues with candidates in the fall election.

‘Be careful out there,’ Phillip says Gottfriedson warns he’s ‘outraged’ X From A1

She is the fourth unsolved missing or murdered woman in Kamloops in the last decade.

Shana Labatte, Sheri Lee Hiltz and Cassandra Wilson were all also known to work in the sex trade.

Labatte’s body was found in Mission Flats in March 2004, and Hiltz’s severely beaten remains were located behind a Surrey Avenue

home 11 months later.

Wilson vanished in April 2012. Her remains have not been located, but police have said they believe she was murdered.

Gottfriedson urged caution among local First Nations women.

“It just makes us sick to think that there is a killer walking amongst us,” he said.

“Be careful out there. There’s somebody walking out there who’s a killer.”

“It’s a national tragedy but, more importantly, it’s a national disgrace,” he said.

“We are absolutely outraged the Harper government continues to refuse to call a national public inquiry.”

Phillip has been trying to bring about such an inquiry for more than two years.

David Walkem, chief of the Cook’s Ferry Indian Band, which counts two of Paul’s sisters as band members, said an inquiry is necessary given the history of First Nations women going missing and/or being murdered in Canada.

“This has got to stop,” he said.

“We need action. We cannot have our girls subject to this kind of treatment.”

Fake gift baits crook into theft of nothing

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It took two days for RCMP to get a nibble on a bait car, parked in North Kamloops with an unwrapped gift, iPod and sunglasses inside.

The car, intended to bait would-be car thieves, netted John Bednar, a local resident who pleaded guilty on Monday, Aug. 11, to stealing only the

wrapped gift box.

“It didn’t contain much more than air,” said Crown lawyer Bernie Caffaro.

Caffaro said RCMP placed the car on Yew Street in North Kamloops on April 2.

Two days later an alarm sounded indicating the bait car was entered, but not stolen.

Using video, RCMP later identified and arrested Bednar.

The unrepresented man said he was told the car sat outside a

relative’s house for two days.

He assumed it was stolen and admitted opening the car and taking the gift-wrapped box.

The glasses and iPod were left untouched.

Bednar’s only criminal record is for impaired driving.

“It was stupid, I know,” Bednar told Judge Stephen Harrison.

Harrison sentenced Bednar to a $100 fine.

Purpose:

Robbery suspect turns himself in Don’t show up with a knife to a gun fight, and don’t show up to rob a gun store with a crossbow.

A Kamloops man will likely face robbery charges after bungling an attempt at holding up a North Shore arms shop on Monday, Aug. 11.

RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the suspect entered Powder Keg Shooters Supply just after 9 a.m., armed with a crossbow.

Investigators believe the would-be robber pointed the weapon at the clerk, demanding a loaded gun.

The employee is believed to have loaded a firearm and pointed it at the suspect, who then fled in a pickup truck.

He turned himself in to police a few hours later.

Bush said the crossbow and the truck have been recovered by police.

Family Guy tattoo leads to robbery conviction

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The victim may have been only 13, but it wasn’t difficult for the young restaurant worker to identify the man who pepper-sprayed him and his sister in an attempted robbery — thanks to a prominent Stewie Griffin tattoo.

Devon Lynn has a large tattoo of the character — a talking baby from the animated series Family Guy — tattooed on the side of his neck as well as what Crown lawyer Tim Livingston said is an Asian-style character on his face. Those tattoos made it easy for RCMP to find Lynn after a violent attack on June 30.

Livingston said Lynn, 20, ate a buffet meal at Dynasty Garden. When he went to the till, he demanded money from the 13-year-old boy working at the front end of the restaurant.

The boy left and came back with his sister.

That’s when Lynn pepper-sprayed both of them and ran out of the restaurant.

Lynn pleaded guilty on Monday, Aug. 11, to attempted robbery and theft under $5,000.

“Mr. Lynn needlessly bear-sprayed a young man,” Livingston told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan.

Livingston and defence lawyer Sheldon Tate made a joint submission asking for the time already served in jail, about 43 days since his arrest. Lynn will also serve two years probation and is banned from possessing firearms for 10 years.

Freeman guilty of fleeing police

Alexander facing fresh charges

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

What happens when an accused criminal refuses to accept he’s bound by Canada’s laws?

He’s convicted anyway.

At least that’s how it went in Kamloops provincial court last week when 27-year-old Ian James McDonald stood trial on three charges stemming from a police pursuit in the Shuswap in November.

McDonald took no issue with the facts as outlined by RCMP witnesses — that he was pulled over by police for having a homemade licence plate, he was not in possession of a valid B.C. driver’s licence and he fled police after the initial traffic stop.

What he did have an issue with, however, was the RCMP’s

A Kamloops freeman-on-the-land who has run for mayor and MLA and who has racked up multiple convictions — including obstructing a peace officer and driving without a licence — will return to court this week to set a date for a trial on fresh charges.

Brian Alexander initially identified himself in provincial court as “Brian Arthur of the Alexander family” at a recent appearance on new charges of obstruction of a peace officer and driving while prohibited.

He addressed Judge Roy Dickey as “the man in the black robe sitting up there.”

McDonald was pulled over on SquilaxAnglemont Road on Nov. 28 after a Chase Mountie spotted a suspicious licence plate.

The plate turned out to be homemade and the driver of the grey Toyota Tercel — later identified as McDonald — didn’t have a licence.

Alexander initially refused to confirm his identity when his name was called for an appearance. Dickey said the alternative was to page Brian Alexander.

“If there’s no response, there will be a [arrest] warrant,” the judge said.

That’s when Alexander allowed himself to be identified.

The homemade licence plate above and the “Claim-of-Right” to the right were entered as evidence in Ian McDonald’s trial in Kamloops provincial court last week. McDonald was found guilty and will be sentenced at a yet-to-be-scheduled date.

KTW applied successfully in court to be given permission to publish the exhibits to better illustrate the freeman movement.

the laws of this country, you can go somewhere else where the laws are more suited to you,” the officer responded.

In his closing submissions, McDonald, who was self-represented at trial, called legislation “arbitrary whims” and argued he hadn’t committed a crime because B.C. exists “only on paper.”

At one point, McDonald, citing an

obscure piece of federal legislation, argued that Canada exists only on waterways and oceans — not land.

“As far as I’m concerned, my only obligation is to do no harm and honour my contracts,” he said.

“I believe the province is basically a figment of imagination created on paper.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen

Harrison was far from dismissive, engaging in a five-minute conversation questioning McDonald on his beliefs.

“I’m guilty of the facts, absolutely,” McDonald finally said.

“The problem is, what’s the point?

“If the Crown was to accuse me of wearing a black T-shirt, I’d be guilty of that, too — but it’s not a crime.”

Harrison didn’t buy McDonald’s persistent arguments, however, convicting him on counts of fleeing police and driving while prohibited.

Changes to Agricultural Land Reserve a great leap forward

T

he B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.

Political watchers may recall this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland-looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.

As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now, a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.

The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one-half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.

This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability.

It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools.

But. I digress.

“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper includes, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abbatoirs [large, small or mobile] on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.”

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA Then, there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical-marijuana products.

Did you know wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t?

(Mead is made from honey and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)

Now that we’ve discovered breweries don’t have to be giant, urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.

On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail-space and product-origin restrictions. The government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C. This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable — or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that create chaos on country roads. You decide.

On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes

to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions.

One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast.

What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22.

There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.

Finally, there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property.

Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham continues to insist these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”

It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Poverty is OK in some cases: CRA Relieving poverty is a charitable cause, preventing it is not.

By now, Canadians are aware of the Harper government’s view of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly when their agenda conflicts with the prime minister.

Audits are one of the tools the government has used against outspoken critics who receive charitable status.

According to Canadian Press, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is conducting audits on at least 52 NGOs, including the David Suzuki Foundation and West Coast Environmental Law, to assure they comply with guidelines restricting political activity.

Oxfam Canada is now in the CRA’s crosshairs — over a mission statement. In its application for renewal of non-profit status, Oxfam Canada states its purpose is to “prevent and relieve poverty, vulnerability and suffering.”

The CRA told Oxfam relieving poverty qualifies as charitable — preventing it does not.

The CRA’s logic is the 50-plus-year-old organization might use its clout to benefit those who are not poor.

Oxfam tends to focus on providing knowledge, skills and tools to help people help themselves. It also speaks out against political injustices that fuel poverty, using tactics such as its campaign to get Canada and other nations to take stringent action on tax evasion.

The CRA is also attempting to do this via the Offshore Tax Informant Program.

This “snitch line” has wound up more successful than anticipated, however, and critics are questioning whether the CRA, which has been severely downsized, can see the job through.

This overload can’t help when the CRA is also being tasked with keeping charitable organizations in line.

This will leak down to the Fraser and arsenic, cadmium and mercury are very serious toxins and cause long-term disease and pollution.

Editor: Is it a reasonable and sane proposition to construct a huge hole right above our fair city of 90,000 souls and fill it full of poison?

The hole will be filled with billions of litres of water and sediment full of arsenic and other toxic heavy metals.

The hole would have to be built to ensure the poison would never surge downhill into Peterson Creek, then through the centre of our city and into the Thompson River.

Forever is a very long time.

The Mount Polley mine was opened in 1997.

The tailing pond at that mine has been holding back its poison for 17 years— until a few days ago.

It is plain to see this has caused an environmental disaster in a sparsely populated area.

The Ajax spokesmen reassure us tailing ponds “if properly designed, constructed and maintained, don’t fail.”

Does this mean they won’t fail forever?

Does this mean we, our children and their children’s children are going to be safe from a similar disaster forever?

Our local provincial politicians will tell you this is a matter for ongoing study.

What does common sense dictate? Is anyone truly comforted by these words?

Are you?

Are we willing to subject ourselves, our descendents, our land and our waters to such risk?

Don’t condemn teachers for holiday breaks Editor: Re: ‘Most employees do not receive three months off work to recharge,’ KTW Aug. 5: I had to agree with a couple of Simon Mason’s assertions in his letter, wherein he corrected a couple of misconceptions on the part of Dawn Aziz, who had commented previously on the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the provincial government.

He is correct in stating teachers working for the Kamloops-Thompson school district are paid, in the main, for 12 months’ service over a 10-month period.

That is why teachers on a continuing contract pay into EI but cannot collect it in the summer.

As well, Simon underlined the BCTF is on strike and not simply locked out, as was maintained by Aziz.

At this point, Mason and I begin to differ in opinion.

He stated many workers “would love three-plus months to recharge.”

Again, I have to agree, but rather than deride those who have an enviable work situation, I would applaud their foresight and energy and recognize the time and money spent to put themselves in such a position.

As well, Mason states he hopes teachers “have reflected during the summer on what they are teaching their children and grandchildren.”

I believe the message to our children is quite clear.

The citizens of our province have a right to quality public education and the BCTF and its members are prepared to fight to ensure that right is enjoyed by the citizens of B.C., even if it means shortterm sacrifice for long-term goals.

Difficult times require difficult choices.

This is not an easy situation and there is no telling when or how this mess will be resolved.

In the meantime, let us remember there are at least two sides to this issue.

Apparently, Mason supports the B.C. Liberals. I support the BCTF in its effort to halt the deliberate erosion of quality public education in BC. Peter Nelson Kamloops

DAM KEENAN SPENT Sunday night trying to forget about his hammer-throw performance at the North American Central America Caribbean (NACAC) Under-23 Championships.

“It was pretty lousy,” said Keenan, who

managed to win bronze for Canada despite fouling on five of six attempts.

“It definitely didn’t go as planned.”

The event wrapped up in Kamloops on Sunday, Aug. 10.

Keenan, 20, started well, heaving the hammer 68.35 metres on his first toss, but fouled on his next five attempts, unable to sort out a few technique issues.

“I was really heavy on my right side,

RIVER CITY AUTO CORNER RIVER CITY NISSAN .com

which means I was pulling the hammer instead of pushing it, which ended up in five sector and cage fouls,” said Keenan, who moved to Kamloops from Victoria three years ago to train at the National Throws Centre with one of the sport’s premier coaches, Anatoliy Bondarchuk.

“I just went after it but, when you go after it, you have technical issues.”

Diego Del Real Galindo of Mexico took

first place with a toss of 69.42 metres and Matthias Tayala of the U.S. won silver with a throw of 68.93 metres.

Keenan, Kamloops’ lone competitor at the meet, said nerves were not an issue and he felt strong physically.

“I just couldn’t connect,” he said.

“It was definitely a disappointment.”

Next up for Keenan is a meet in Kamloops in September.

Fall soccer: Women wanted STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Annette Hanna, then 38, had never played soccer in her life, but she decided it was time to give it a kick.

Six years later, she loves the Beautiful Game and wants to spread the good word about the fall season of the Kamloops Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer League (KWSL). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a soccer mom and I sat back and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to try doing that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Hanna, a member of the

leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even play as a kid.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be more people like me out there.â&#x20AC;?

The action kicks off on Sept. 7 and runs through midOctober.

Each team plays eight games and there is minimal commitment involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about having a good time, enjoying the sport and getting to meet other people.â&#x20AC;?

Women ages 18 and up are invited to join the league. It costs $40 for new members and $30 for returning players.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take all of the people who are registered and we look at dividing them up by skill level, so every team is equal,â&#x20AC;?

Hanna said.

Email recdivision@kwsl.net to sign up.

Hanna, now 44, was hesitant to join six years ago, but she is glad she took the plunge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anyone else who played and I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d try for eight games and, if I really sucked, no one has to know,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; even tell my husband.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, I love it.â&#x20AC;?

Baseball powers armed and ready for playoffs HE LIST OF POWER teams in Major League Baseball became crystallized at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trading deadline.

As a result, fans in Oakland and Detroit are now not only making plans to see playoff games, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking to their employers about taking time off to watch the championship parade.

Baseball has always been a game of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;havesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;have-notsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but, in 2014, those who â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; went out and got more.

The Oakland Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, for instance, had one of the best pitching staffs in the game and that was before they acquired the Chicago Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best pitcher, Jeff Samardzija, who joined Scott Kazmir and Sonny Gray, both en route to 15- to 20-win seasons, in the rotation.

In the American League East, the Detroit Tigers did something similar.

Their alreadyimposing pitching staff (Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer have each won a Cy Young award in the last three years) became Hall-ofFame-like when they made a deal to acquire Tampaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ace, David Price, who was the Cy Young winner in 2012.

Dodgers, however, already had an all-star cast of pitchers, led by Clayton Kershaw and Zack Grienke.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to stomach in some quarters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Toronto, for instance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little hope for playoff success as soon as the trading deadline passes.

Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slugger Jose Bautista, in fact, was publicly critical of general manager Alex

Anthopoulos for not pulling the trigger on a deal to strengthen the Jays for a strong stretch drive.

So, while fans in a number of other cities have World Series dreams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baltimore, Milwaukee, L.A. Angeles are having outstanding seasons, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seeing the World Series parade in either Oakland, Detroit or Los Angeles this fall is almost as certain as hot dogs and beer being for sale at ballparks across North America.

McIlroy wins PGA Championship thriller

By Doug Ferguson

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The challenge finally arrived for Rory McIlroy, and he was better than ever Sunday (Aug. 10) to win the PGA Championship.

On a back nine filled with clutch shots and as much tension as a major can provide, McIlroy emerged from a four-man race to outlast Phil Mickelson and the darkness at Valhalla to capture his second straight major.

McIlroy closed with a 3-under 68 and became only the fourth player in the last century of golf to win four majors at 25 or younger. The others were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones, three of the game’s greatest players.

Boy Wonder appears on his way to belonging in that group.

“I didn’t think in my wildest dreams I’d have a summer like this,’’ said McIlroy, only the seventh player to win the last two majors of the year. “I played the best golf of my life. I really gutted it out today.’’

One of the greatest shows on soggy turf came with a most peculiar ending.

Three shots behind going to the back nine, McIlroy rallied to take the lead and then hit a 9-iron from the fairway bunker to 10 feet for birdie on the 17th hole for a two-shot lead going to the par-5 18th. Because of a two-hour rain delay earlier, darkness was falling quickly and it wasn’t certain McIlroy would be able to finish.

McIlroy was allowed to hit his tee shot before

Mickelson and Rickie Fowler had reached their drives. Both were only two shots behind, still in the game. McIlroy came within a yard of hitting into a hazard right of the fairway.

Then, the PGA of America allowed McIlroy to hit his second shot.

Mickelson and Fowler had to stand to the side of the green.

“We were cool with hitting the tee shot,’’ Fowler said. “We weren’t expecting the approach shots.’’

Fowler had a 50-foot eagle attempt to tie for the lead. He was well off the mark, and missed the short birdie putt attempt that cost him his third straight runner-up finish in a major.

Mickelson was short of the green, and his chip came within inches of dropping for an eagle that would have tied him for the lead.

Mickelson appeared upset that they had to wait to finish the hole — not standard procedure in a PGA Tour event — and he made two references in a TV interview that this is the only championship the PGA of America runs all year.

“It didn’t affect the outcome of the championship at all, I don’t think,’’ Mickelson said. “It’s not what we normally do. It’s not a big deal either way.’’

Mickelson closed with a 66 and was runner-up for the ninth time in a major.

Fowler became the first player in history to finish in the top five at all four majors without winning one.

He closed with a 68 and tied for third with Henrik Stenson, who fell out of a

AUGUST 8 - 14, 2014

share of the lead by missing a 3-foot par putt on the 14th hole. Stenson shot a 66.

McIlroy hit his second shot into a bunker and he had to two-putt from 35 feet for the win. He lagged the first one to tap-in range, and the major was his. McIlroy repeatedly pumped his fist before letting out a scream above the gallery that had been treated to one of the best shows ever in a major.

He won his first two majors by eight shots at the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship. Only a month ago, McIlroy took a six-shot lead into the final round of the British Open and completed a wire-towire win with only a brief scare.

This was his first big test, and it took some of his best golf to come through.

“I think I showed a lot of guts out there to get the job done,’’ he said.

The winning shot turned out to be that 9-iron from the bunker and the birdie putt on the 17th hole that gave him a two-shot lead, the largest margin for anyone on a day when as many as five players claimed a share of the lead.

It might not have been possible without a 3-wood on the par-5 10th hole.

Standing in the fairway, McIlroy watched Fowler drain a 30-foot birdie putt to take the outright lead.

McIlroy was 281 yards away, slightly uphill, and his shot caught the left side of the fairway and rolled onto the green before stopping 7 feet away for an eagle that got him back in the game.

Mickelson holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 11th hole to tie Fowler, and it looked to be his day when he rolled in a 30-foot par putt on the 12th. Stenson hit a bold shot to the island-green 13th for a short birdie to tie for the lead, only to fall back.

McIlroy caught the leaders with a birdie on the 13th.

None of the other contenders made another birdie the rest of the way until it was too late.

All that was left after an exhausting day of raw emotions was the coronation.

Not since Woods in 2008 has anyone won three straight tournaments, and they were big ones for McIlroy _ the British Open, a World Golf Championship and the PGA Championship. He played them in a combined 48-under par.

“He’s better than everyone else right now,’’ Mickelson said.

Ford says bomb threat called for his resignation CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Police were dispatched to Toronto city hall Monday, Aug. 11, after Mayor Rob Ford said a threat was made to bomb the building unless he resigned, but no evacuation was ordered.

Toronto police spokesman Const. David Hopkinson said officers were sent to the building after city hall security informed them of the threat that morning.

Police earlier said they were first notified on Sunday night.

Hopkinson said the building was not being evacu-

ated and couldn’t confirm whether a bomb sweep had been done.

Ford announced the bomb threat to reporters.

He said the email was sent to his brother, Coun.

Doug Ford, on Sunday night.

The mayor held up a copy of the typo-ridden note, which says there has been “chaos’’ since Ford returned from rehab last month.

“He has 12 hours to vacate otherwise city hall will blow. I have already set up explosive around.’’

Ford said he wasn’t phased by the threat.

“I’m moving on.

Business as usual.

“Obviously the police will be around and the police [will] handle this from here on in,’’ he said.

Ford also defended going public about the email.

“When I get something this serious sent to my brother’s office and to the deputy mayor’s office it’s only proper that the mayor of the city addresses this.’’

Coun. Paula Fletcher said there is a protocol dealing with threats, but that it doesn’t restrict officials from revealing them. But she said she hopes Ford knew the threat wasn’t real before he announced it.

“I hope he’s followed

what I would call the good rules, or good common sense.

“And since we’re still here in the building I’m going to assume it was just an angry letter from a disturbed individual.’’

Spokeswoman Wynna Brown said in an email that police “are conducting a thorough investigation in co-ordination with city hall security.’’

The controversial mayor has faced numerous calls for his resignation amid admissions of drug use, alcohol addiction and various instances of being caught on tape making offensive comments.

Canadian net worth up eight per cent: Study

By Alexandra Bosanac

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada’s average household net worth rose nearly eight per cent in 2013 — making it one of the best years since the recession — mostly because of rising stock and real estate values as well as moderating debt levels.

That’s according to data from Environics Analytics, which found that the average net worth per Canadian household last year grew by 7.7 per cent to $442,130.

It found that nonmortgage consumer debt was flat compared with 2012 while mortgage debt increased more slowly than the value of real estate or investments.

“Overall, 2013 was an excellent year for Canadian balance sheets,’’ said Environics senior researcher Peter

Miron said on Monday, Aug. 11, in a press release.

“Many people benefited from the strong stock market. But they also saved more and didn’t take on more debt — preparing [perhaps] for a rainy day.’’

The report drew on data from 121 financial and investment statistics from a variety of sources, including the Bank of Canada and Statistics Canada.

The report also found that disparities in wealth for households in Canada’s three richest cities — Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary — are rapidly vanishing.

Average household net worth in each of those cities is now within $29,718, or 4.4 per cent, of each other.

In addition, the average household has $533,172 worth of real estate holdings.

Alberta, Nova Scotia and Ontario had the highest growth in net

worth among the provinces in 2013.

In Saskatchewan, household net worth increased by 7.4 per cent, which was below the 7.7 per cent national average. Environics said that consumer debt in the province was up 7.6 per cent, partially offsetting a 9.1 per cent increase in the value of liquid assets such as investments.

“A lot of people moved to Saskatchewan to take advantage of the resource-based jobs and they sparked an economic boom,’’ said Miron.

“But, now the real estate market is starting to cool off while incomes are staying high. Taking on more debt is a belief in better days to come.’’

The cities reporting the greatest increase in net worth were Oshawa and Halifax, where household net worth grew by double digits — 11.2 per cent and

10.9 per cent, respectively. Calgary was also part of the group, gaining a 10.6 per cent increase in net worth.

From a macro view, Environics said the gains weren’t limited to a few small pockets — the effect was felt across the country.

Nationwide, the new data indicates that stock portfolios are growing, savings are on the rise and mortgage debt has ticked up only modestly Households enjoyed growth in liquid assets due to a robust stock market in Canada and the U.S. and took out more mortgages at the same rate that they’re paying it down.

In 2013, the growth in household debt was mostly attributable to mortgage debt growth of 3.3 per cent, as low interest rates kept mortgage debt manageable.

Consumer debt from credit cards, loans and lines of credit was unchanged from 2012.

Canadian Internet provider used to steal bitcoins: Researchers CANADIAN PRESS

Researchers with a cybersecurity firm said they uncovered that a hacker used access to a Canadian Internet provider to hijack large foreign networks, stealing more than US$83,000 in virtual currency.

The U.S.-based Dell SecureWorks said the hacker

operated between February and May this year.

It’s alleged the hacker targeted hosting firms with servers that generate Bitcoin — including Amazon in the U.S. — and redirected some activity.

SecureWorks said the hacker likely worked alone and was in Canada, and could be a former

or then-current employee of the ISP. The firm did not name the ISP, but says the “malicious activity’’ stopped after it handed the ISP its findings.

SecureWorks says it did not go to the Canadian authorities, and it is not known if the ISP has identified the hacker.

Doctor urges Ottawa to supply medical treatment for injured children from Gaza CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A man proposing to bring severely injured children from war-torn Gaza to Canada for medical treatment is urging the federal government to support the idea.

Izzeldin Abuelaish, a doctor whose three daughters died in the 2009 conflict in Gaza, says Ottawa appears to be unwilling to facilitate visitor visas that would allow wounded kids to enter Canada.

He said Gaza’s health-care system is severely damaged and overwhelmed by the number of injured

civilians, including thousands of children.

Abuelaish says it would be difficult to ensure the safety of Canadian medical staff in Gaza, which the federal Conservatives seems to be suggesting is a better option.

He says Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird hasn’t replied to his requests for a meeting to talk about the matter.

Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins, a doctor who has worked in war zones, says the province is willing to treat injured children from Gaza and Israel.

Byrnes sought music through pain, for help

Singer hosting workshop and taking the stage during Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival

By Dale Bass

Wiseguy co-star Jonathan Banks and he are good pals and see each other often.

“The last time, I told him my daughter is doing a video and it would be great if he was part of it.”

Now she’s got John Banks doing a cameo in her video.

“You know, 27 years

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

IM BYRNES’ daughter Caitlin has followed him into the world of art, of entertainment — of “getting your heart broken at some point,” the veteran blues singer said.

Caitlin’s mom wasn’t happy about their daughter’s decision that has led her into the film department at the University of British Columbia, although the situation is really one of support and pride tempered with that mother’s worry, Byrnes said.

As for him, “it was great trepidation that I let her take that direction and I told her, ‘You’re gonna get your heart broken, but I know you need to do this.’

“She didn’t get into it thinking she was gonna be a star.”

Neither did dad, although he remembers being three years old and regaling his family singing Roy Acuff’s Wabash Cannonball.

He remembers his parents insisting he and his two sisters learn to play the piano because it was an opportunity they didn’t have.

Byrnes remembers singing in church — and realizing how important music had become in his life, so important that the 65-year-old said it’s integral to his life.

A day without music can cause him to feel anxious, he said.

ago, when we were shooting Wiseguy, they were shooting 21 Jump Street right next to us,” Byrnes said.

“And I was doing a fundraiser back then and I had to put a band together, so I had Debby Harry — she was in Wiseguy — and Johnny Depp and Richard Grieco [of 21

Jump Street] and Glenn Fry [another Wiseguy co-star] as my band. We were doing a Variety Club thing.

“I think about that now and just think, ‘Wow, what a band that was.’”

Make Miracles Happen

Veteran blues singer Jim Byrnes will be hosting a workshop and performing at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival, Aug. 15 to Aug. 17.

“It’s a great painkiller for me. I’ve had some bad breaks in my life and, when I was in pain or needed help, I always turned to music long before I was a professional musician.”

It’s that side of his multi-faceted career, however, that will see the Vancouver-based singer-songwriter-actor hopping a plane early on Aug. 16 — after performing the night before at the Edmonton Blues Festival — to take part in the annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs from Aug. 15 to Aug. 17.

Byrnes is hosting and singing in one of the workshops, joining Alvin Hart, Herald Nix and Little Miss Higgins for a session that ostensibly is centred around Blind Lemon Jefferson, a bluesman Byrnes said was an earlier influence on him, “but it won’t be all him” as the four

of them sing and talk about other pioneering blues, roots, jazz and country musicians.

He’ll also be performing on the festival’s blues stage on Sunday, Aug. 17.

Feb. 26, 1972, remains a pivotal date in Byrne’s life — one chapter of his story appeared to have been closed and a more difficult one opened when, on a beer run with friends, he stopped to help push a stalled truck off the highway.

A friend, wondering what was taking the guys so long, hopped in his car and went looking for them — ending up driving into the back of the stalled truck and damaging Byrnes legs so badly both were amputated.

Thinking it was the end of his music career, Byrnes turned to odd jobs before returning to Vancouver, the place he called home after

leaving his native St. Louis.

Music called him back and he was playing clubs, easing his anxieties, doing what felt right to him.

Fifteen years later, however, an audition led to Byrnes landing the pivotal role of Danniel Burroughs — better known as Lifeguard — in the cops-and-the-mob TV series Wiseguy.

More roles followed — including several years playing Joe Dawson on the Highlander series.

In fact, check out his page on imdb.com and the list of roles he’s had is extensive, with 112 credits.

With music and acting covered off, Byrnes finds himself eager to work with his daughter, who has some film projects planned.

And, like any proud papa, he’s not shy about asking his buddies to step up if it will help.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Cactus Jacks nightclub, 130 Fifth Ave., will have more lights, a bigger stage and a better sound system when renovations are complete.

ANSWERS TO METRO CROSSWORD ON PAGE B15

City of Kamloops Activity Programs

Nightclub renovations geared at booking bigger shows

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rob Medves got some ideas for Cactus Jacks after a visit to Las Vegas last month followed by vacation in Vancouver.

The general manager of Cactus Jacks nightclub said that when renovations are complete in mid- to late-August, the Kamloops venue will further resemble the likes of clubs in the bustling metropolises, equipped with LED lights, a better sound system and bigger stage.

“Instead of having

to go to Vancouver or Kelowna you’re going to get it here,” Medves said.

The downtown bar has a capacity of 625 people and Medves said renovations will accommodate bigger live acts.

“The stage was too small to bring in any big bands,” Medves said.

The dance floor has already been moved across the room, and the former VIP section was converted into a new DJ area.

A 17-foot by 20-foot LED screen will be added to a custom-built

stage ideal for mediumsized acts from DJs to five-piece bands with full drum kits.

The venue will accommodate a range of acts from country to rock and electronica.

“They [bar patrons] want their variety,”

and life.ink.tattoo, 240Third Ave. Acts to follow include Aaron Pritchett with One More Girl on Sept. 24 and Big Wreck with guests on Sept. 31.

For more information, go online to cactusjacks.ca.

Medves said.

Keys N Krates will be the first act to christen the new setup for a back-to-school bash on Sept. 4.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Doctor Love and Hemp City, 521 Victoria St.,

At this size, this mushroom would be the life of the party — fungi that he is. Larry Staruiala of Dallas says this behemoth keeps reappearing in his yard, week after week, in precisely the same spot. The mushroom weighs 2.55 pounds and has a 22-inch circumference. It is difficult to determine the world’s largest mushroom as there are organisms covering hundreds of acres that are, technically, the growth of a single mushroom spore. The giant 800-hectare (2,200-acre) fungus in eastern Oregon’s Malheur National Forest is one such example and considered to be the largest living organism ever found. Christopher Foulds/KTW

NISSAN HITS THE RIGHT NOTE IN MUSIC CITY

By Neil Moore METROLAND MEDIA wheels.com

N

ASHVILLE, Tennessee, is synonymous with country music, with so many of the stars either having made their names here, if not their homes.

Nissan brought us to this city of 1.6-million people because they also call Tennessee home —with an assembly plant in nearby Smyrna, a powertrain plant in Decherd and their headquarters in Franklin.

Their goal was to have our group of Canadian journos get some seat time in the full Nissan lineup, but I’m sure it was also in their minds that we enjoy sampling the sights and sounds of Music City.

After checking in a stone’s throw from the Country Music Hall of Fame, we set out for a brief tour that began at the genre’s true Mecca, the Ryman Auditorium.

Take the backstage tour of this lovingly restored structure — which began as a church in 1892 — and you’ll hear captivating

stories about some of their regulars: Hank Williams, Minnie Pearl, Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline.

More recently, Taylor Swift has performed at the Ryman.

Whether during its 31 years as home of the Grand Ole Opry, or in later years as a performance venue with arguably the best acoustics in the business, the Ryman has stood proudly in a city that has so many other monuments to the art.

It also prominently wears the Nissan badge.

For several years now, the automaker has sponsored

Ryman’s concert series.

But, such pleasures are fleeting and, a few hours of sightseeing, which included a must-see stroll along Honky Tonk Row on lower Broadway, was followed by a fast-paced day in and out of Nissan’s past, present and future.

The day’s format was simple: Pick a car, get in and drive.

As you’d expect, with such a large group of writers, there would be some jockeying for the favourites.

Names like GT-R and 370Z would likely top the list.

But, I’m still pretty quick so, when the formal presentation was over, I sprinted to Nissan’s halo car.

The GT-R, which starts in Canada at $108,500 for the Premium and $118,000 for the Black Edition, will be joined by a new, higherperformance version of this supercar sometime this winter.

The GT-R NISMO amps up its hand-assembled, twin turbo 3.8-litre V6 from the current 545 h.p. and 463 lb/ ft to a monstrous 600 and 481 and, as you’d expect from the company’s performance division, it also

gets upgrades to suspension, body rigidity and aerodynamics.

With the full NISMO treatment, this promises to be the fastest GT-R yet, holding the volume production car lap record at Germany’s famed Nurburgring.

Unfortunately, I would have no such opportunity to plumb this car’s vast reserves of power on our short drive through the rural-suburban mix of horse farms and estate homes just outside of Nashville.

AUTO MARKET

Testing the waters with Nissan

kg car, there’s plenty of pep when needed.

Standard is a fivespeed manual, although you can order the fourspeed auto for an extra $1,000 in the SR and mid-trim SV. Having sampled the top and bottom of Nissan’s lineup, I settled on the 370Z NISMO, which is closer to the Micra in price and nearer the GT-R in performance.

It has been out of our market for a couple of years but comes back with revised exterior, upgraded suspension and retuned engine and exhaust, increasing output from 332 to 350 h.p. Torque is up a little at 276 lb/ft.

I loved the blackand red-leather Recaros which, like the GT-R, really hold you in place.

It also feature unique interior trim and badging and other NISMO eye candy like the restyled 19-inch lightweight aluminum alloys

by RAYS.

There’s an optional seven-speed automatic, but this rear-driver with limited-slip differential is plenty quick with the close-ratio six-speed manual with SynchroRev Match, offering synchronized downshift rev matching in a manual gearbox.

Also in the NISMO stable is the second Juke to get these tuner upgrades.

It began with the Juke NISMO, which I tested and grew fond of in a 2013 test and now includes the NISMO RS that will join the revised lineup.

Like the base Juke, the RS uses a turbocharged and directinjected 1.6-litre fourcylinder engine, but is tuned for an extra 27 h.p. and 33 lb/ft of torque.

Its 215 h.p. and 210 lb/ft are routed to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and helical limitedslip differential.

I’ve always appreci-

ated that Juke drives more like a front-drive sport sedan and the new NISMO RS further notches up the fun.

Our day included not only production models, but a few that were just testing the waters.

One of these was the diesel version of their compact Frontier pickup.

Tapping its partnership with Cummins, Nissan dropped in their small, but torquey 2.8litre unit, apparently rated at 350 lb/ft.

There are no firm plans to bring it here, but I wish they would.

Hopefully it will come with the option of a six-speed manual to take advantage of its ample low-end grunt.

Also available was the Quasquai, Nissan’s most successful vehicle in Europe. Picture a smaller and lowerriding Rogue, with less back seat and cargo room.

The company is positioning it against

ZIMMER WHEATON • GMC • BUICK Congratulations Gaetano Briglio

hatchbacks like Golf, while offering more utility.

Quasquai is sold in Europe with a diesel, which may be an option here — if Nissan decides to bring it to our shores.

The 2015 Versa Note SR and the all-new 2015 Murano were also on hand, and will be covered later.

I settled into its snug and deeply bolstered Recaro buckets and felt the engine rumble through seats and floor and through the lever for its dual clutch sixspeed transmission.

No lazy shifts here — this gearbox hammers each cog into place at a blazingly fast 0.15 seconds while in R-Mode.

With this kind of power in a vehicle that weighs only 1,746 kg, you might think the GT-R brutish and hard to handle.

Not to worry, when the pedal is applied sensibly, the GT-R responds more or less in kind.

And its otherwise firm suspension can be toned down a little, as can the VDC and transmission shift points.

Prod the accelerator, however, and you can see why the GT-R is considered a supercar killer — at least on the track — dominating vehicles at much bigger dollars.

MSRP hasn’t been announced yet for Canada but, based on U.S. pricing, we may see a premium of around $48K over base.

Next up was Nissan’s lowest-priced car, the Micra, starting life at $9,998.

It was also Canada’s least-expensive ride until Mitsubishi dropped the price of its Mirage subcompact.

That being said, the 2015 Micra may be cheap, but it doesn’t look, feel or drive that way.

Of course, we weren’t testing their bargain basement model, but a top-trim SR (MSRP $15,748), which includes a pile of features you wouldn’t expect in an entry vehicle: 16-inch alloys, Bluetooth, rearview monitor and audio with 4.3-inch display and steering wheel controls.

This made-for-Canada car, with no plans for the U.S., gets a 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder that produces 109 h.p. and 107 lb/ft of torque.

These aren’t big numbers but, in a 1,067-
