It was just another one-block walk from Kamloops United Church to Stuart Wood elemen-tary, one the church’s pre-school teacher, Patti Pernitsky, made every weekday, taking her charges in the before- and after-school program to class.
Outside the then-empty Coast Canadian Hotel building, workers were smashing enter-tainment centres with sledge-hammers.
“I stopped and asked them what they were doing and they said they had given a lot away, but nobody wanted these, so they were breaking them up to get rid of them,” Pernitsky said.
“So, I smiled and said, ‘Could I have three?’’
When she showed up a few days later, pushing her little
dolly cart, the same workmen laughed and said she’d need something bigger.
“Those things are solid wood,” Pernitsky said.
Long story short — one of the workers delivered them to the church, got them down to the new nursery-school location in the basement and helped her set them up.
That’s been the story of the KUC pre-school since the day it began, Pernitsky said — people helping out, all to ensure the youngsters who go there have a positive, fun, educational expe-rience.
It’s a story that marks its sixth decade this year and Pernitsky has planned an open house on Saturday, Feb. 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., for people to come back, reminisce, and check out the larger and improved area the school occu-
pies.She knows plenty of grads
will come back — and, in its 60 years of operation, the school has a lot of graduates in the city — and is hopeful one in particular, Mayor Peter Milobar, will be there to help cut the cer-emonial ribbon at 11:15 a.m.
When the pre-school started, there was no kindergarten in B.C. and the school had upward of 600 students tending.
“We filled the building from the ground floor all the way up,” Pernitsky said, noting the original structure was later replaced as the church went through renovations.
Once the half-day kinder-garten was added to the public-education system, the school switched to accommodate pre-schoolers and kindergarten kids when they were not at school.
Kamloops United Church pre-school teacher Patti Pernitsky has been educating young minds in Kamloops for a long time.
The school marks its 60th anniversary this year and will host an open house on Saturday, Feb. 15, when past students are
urged to return and reminisce. Dave Eagles/KTW

TRU warns of ‘game’
By Adam WilliamsSTAFF REPORTER
A new social-media drinking game has prompted Thompson Rivers University to issue warning letters and online alerts to its students.
“Neknomination” is a drinking game that involves challenging friends to drink alco-hol, generally in large amounts, in increasingly dangerous ways.
Participants take vid-eos of themselves drink-ing alcohol, sometimes while performing some sort of stunt or other risky behaviour, before posting it to social media and challenging others to out-do the feat.
TRU became aware the game was occurring on campus on Thursday, Feb. 6, and sent warning letters to its residences that night and early the next morning.
The university also issued a warning to students on the school’s website in an effort to reach those living off-campus.
“It moved really quickly across the country,” TRU dean of students Christine Adam said.
“When we saw that it had happened here, and because it has a sort of multiplier effect to it, we really wanted to get a message out to students quickly.”

Kamloops city coun-cillors saw the insides of plenty of airports and hotels in 2013.
Three of the city’s elected officials exceeded their individual $5,000 allotment for travel expenses, with two spending almost double the amount to attend meetings and confer-ences.
Council has a global $50,000 budget for travel expenses, which Mayor Peter Milobar said has not come close to being exceeded in his time at city hall.
Of the big spenders, Coun. Nancy Bepple, went the farthest in her travels, attend-ing a Federation of Canadian Municipalities Convention in St. John’s in September.
Bepple attends three extra FCM meetings each year as a member of the organization’s standing committees on environmental issues and sustainable development, increasing women’s par-ticipation in municipal politics and northern and remote communities.
Those extra meetings added $5,743 to Bepple’s expense claims for 2013.
Her other trips came in at $3,517, for a total
of $9,260. Only Mayor Peter
Milobar spent more, with a final total of $9,808 in expenses for the year.
Among the mayor’s out-of-town destinations were a Vancouver pipe-line conference, a B.C. mayors’ caucus in Prince George and this year’s national Communities in Bloom symposium in Ottawa.

The Crown has
stayed charges against
a man accused of
shooting through the
floor of a Brocklehurst
home and hitting a
young mother in the
arm causing serious
injury.
The charges were
stayed after a B.C.
Supreme Court judge
ruled as inadmissible
a witness statement to
RCMP implicating the
accused.
Trevor Wilvers was
charged with unlawful-
ly causing bodily harm, criminal negligence, assault and uttering threats.
Following the Friday, Feb. 7, rul-ing by Justice Sheri Donegan, Wilvers walked over to his lawyer, Don Campbell, and hugged him.
Wilvers remains in jail on unrelated charges.
Donegan ruled that statements to police by Trevor Newton and another woman in the Brunner Avenue home at the time of the shooting in June 2013 cannot be used as evi-
dence against Wilvers.Both later recanted,
saying in court they didn’t remember any-thing. Newton had to be arrested and brought to court to testify.
The Crown sought to enter the police statements, arguing the recantations were an attempt to cover for Wilvers. It argued unsuccessfully that Newton’s statement to police was done to the highest standard — videotaped — and he accurately described details that were cor-roborated by other witnesses and physical
evidence at the scene.But, Donegan said
Newton blatantly lied in court, noting that, despite testifying he had a complete memo-ry blank from that day due to a drug-and-alco-hol binge, he testified Wilvers was not in the home at the time and didn’t handle a gun.
“Mr. Newton, in the course of these pro-ceedings, directly lied to the court,” Donegan said.
Donegan ruled that because Newton so readily lied in court, he may have fabricated the statement to police
implicating Wilvers. She said it was obvi-ous in comparisons between Newton’s courtroom demeanour and his demeanour on the police videotape that he was intoxicated with drugs or alcohol at the time he talked with police.
For those reasons, Donegan said, she can-not allow Newton’s statements to police implicating Wilvers as the shooter.
As a result, the Crown no longer had sufficient evidence with which to continue the trial.

Armed with a strong majority vote by members of the Neskonlith Indian Band in the Chase area, B.C.’s transportation minister expressed confidence a project to four-lane the Trans-Canada Highway through deadly Hoffman’s Bluff could begin this fall.
The band reported a referendum of members, including those who live off-reserve, was strongly in favour of upgrades to the highway west of Chase through Hoffman’s Bluff.
It has been the site of numerous fatal col-lisions for decades.
Those fatalities included Neskonlith elders.
“To receive a man-date, what I’m told is 97 per cent in favour, is an outstanding signal of support for the chief and the proj-ect,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said of the band and Chief Judy Wilson.
Phase 2 of the over-all project, designed to eventually four-lane the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and Chase, is slated to cost $42 million for a three-kilometre section of roadway squeezed between the South Thompson River on
one side and cliffs on the other.
The federal govern-ment has committed $18 million to the project.
Next steps are to sign an accommoda-tion agreement with the band and then receive approval from Ottawa. Stone said he doesn’t expect delays at either step follow-ing the strong vote in favour of the project by the band.
With that in mind, a tender for the project could go out in late spring, with construc-tion possible in fall.
The widening is part of a larger elec-tion commitment by the B.C. Liberals to spend $650 million on the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border.
Under Stone’s leadership, the min-istry recently came to an agreement on First Nations remains thought to be several-hundred years old that were in the path of the highway project several kilometres east of the Monte Creek interchange.
The Shuswap Nation Tribal Council originally backed a demand the remains be untouched; how-ever, the Neskonlith band agreed last year that the remains could be entombed deeper beneath the highway.

On June 4, 2013, Tanya
Watkins was sitting on the
couch in her Brocklehurst
basement suite when
somebody in the residence
upstairs fired a gun.
The bullet passed through
the floor and struck
Watkins in arm, barely
missing daughter Tristan
and causing serious injury
to Watkins. After the
shooting, Watkins and her
family, including husband
Cory Sabyan, moved
to Watkins’ sister’s
home in Merritt.

CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Deputy Liberal Leader Ralph Goodale is urg-ing the federal Conservatives to abandon what he calls “their obsession with austerity” in today’s (Feb. 11) budget.
The former finance minister said it’s the wrong policy when households are carrying record levels of debt, the country is run-ning a chronic trade deficit and businesses aren’t boosting their investments.
Goodale said government should allot more money for infrastructure and access to post-secondary education, while eliminating tariffs on consumer goods and reducing the burden of higher employment-insurance payroll taxes.
He said the Conservatives
should also stop spending mil-lions of taxpayer dollars on advertising unless there’s some accountability on how that money is spent.
Goodale said he doesn’t know whether the Tories should delay their self-imposed deadline of 2015 to balance the books because he doesn’t have access to all the financial information they do. But, he added, he is skepti-cal of the Conservative math because they’re planning to bal-ance the books, in part, by simply not spending the money they’ve promised in the budget.
“On one page of the budget plan, you announce big spending in things like infrastructure or national defence, for example,’’ he said.
A few pages later, Goodale noted, the government said it
won’t be spending that money after all.
“That’s a great hocus-pocus sleight of hand that really raises serious doubts about the govern-ment’s arithmetic.’’
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty insists he won’t balance the books on the backs of the provinces.
According to Liberal MP John McCallum, that is not the case,
He noted Ontario has already complained its equalization pay-ments are being cut and Prime Minister Stephen Harper is trying to claw back money Ottawa gives the provinces for a contentious new federal jobs training scheme that’s yet to be created.
“I do think he’s showing signs of riding roughshod over the provinces in his efforts to balance the federal books as quickly as possible,’’ McCallum said.
Liberals: Abandon austerity obsession

A mandatory cattle-
tracking program in
Canada gives ranch-
ers a unique edge in
marketing, a industry
leader recently told a
Kamloops conference.
The B.C.
Cattlemen’s
Association and the
B.C. Association of
Abattoirs recently
hosted a workshop
on cattle traceability
and what it can offer
beyond its stated goal
of food safety.
The Canadian Food
and Inspection Agency
instituted a radio-
frequency tag program
for all beef cattle in
the wake of the bovine
spongiform encephal-
opathy (BSE) crisis a
decade ago.
That system allows
quick tracing of ani-
mals in cases of dis-
ease outbreak.
But, Larry Thomas,
national co-ordi-
nator for the Beef
InfoXchange System
(BIXS) for Canadian
Cattlemen, told KTW it
also gives retailers and
producers a window
into production that
can be used for mar-
keting or feedback on
quality of the product.
Radio-frequency
identification tags
are not mandatory in
the United States and
industry leaders asked
the question: “Can we
bring value to the fact
we have to get tags in
Canada?”
Thomas said the
industry believes the
tags give ranchers in
Canada an advantage.
For example, ranch-
ers can retain ID num-
bers and determine
how their animals are
graded after they are
sent to Alberta packing
plants.
“Today, a rancher
sells the animal at an
auction and that’s the
last thing they have for
that animal.”
On the other side,
Thomas said, retailers
will be able to use the
tags to determine, for
example, if beef is free
of hormones or vac-
cines.
They can advertise
that fact.
“It’s end-market
intelligence.”
While the radio-
frequency tags are
mandatory, use of
BIXS is not.
Thomas said the
Canadian Cattlemen’s
Association is advis-
ing ranchers to use the
system, which replaces
a difficult-to-use ear-
lier version.
There is no fee to
use the system.

McPhailGordon Thomas McPhail passed away peacefully in the the Royal Inland Hospital on February 4, 2014 at the age of 84.
Tom was born in Belmont, Manitoba, on January 17, 1930. After farming in Manitoba and working in the forests of Northern Ontario, Tom worked his way across Canada at various jobs, including dairying in the B.C. Lower Mainland; building a retaining wall at Hell’s Gate, in the rugged Fraser Canyon; and putting up telegraph lines for CN Rail. In 1954, Tom started work for the BC Telephone Company in Kamloops, B.C. In 1958, Tom met Myrna in Merritt and the two were married in September, 1959. After a few years residing in Kamloops, Tom and Myrna moved to Merritt in 1962 where he continued to work with BC Tel and where he and Myrna owned and operated the Cottonwood Trailer Park in Lower Nicola until 2002. Tom and Myrna also ran the Cottonwood Store until the mid 1960s. Tom retired from BC Tel in 1985.
During his retirement, Tom and Myrna traveled extensively throughout North America and would often spend winter months in Arizona. Tom enjoyed many activities including curling and golf; he continued to golf even last year.
Tom will be lovingly remembered for his kind, gentle nature, his dry wit and wonderful sense of humor, his horsemanship, his entertaining rhymes and songs, his unwavering generosity and helpfulness.
Tom is survived by his wife, Myrna, daughter, Linda Murray, son, Lowell McPhail, brother, Bob McPhail, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
Tom was a hardworking and devoted family man who will be greatly missed.

MCCALL’S OF VICTORIA, BC(1-800-870-4210)
JOHN EDWARD BURNS, known as JACKNOVEMBER 13 1929 — JANUARY 29 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jack Burns on January 29, 2014 at Overlander Extended Care Facility at the age of 84 years. Jack became ill with Brittle Diabetes, Parkinson’s, and Heart Disease in his 70’s and passed away from complications of Norwalk Virus with his family by his side.
Jack is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Ruth and his three
children — Debra (Jay), Peace River Alberta, John (Marina), Nanaimo BC, and Lori, Sydney NSW Australia. Jack had seven dear grandchildren whom he tickled and teased and bounced on his foot: Erin (Bob), Shayne, Mykah (Heith), Amelia, Pearce, Taylor and Caitlin, as well as three darling great-grandchildren Lexie, Kashlee and Evan. Jack also leaves behind his brother Robert (Angie) nephews Norman, Shawn, and great niece Delany, his brother-in-law Ronald, cousin Peter (Jennifer) plus other extended family and numerous friends. He was predeceased by his sister Shirley in 2009.
Born in 1929 in Abbotsford BC to Edward (Ted) and Harriet (Hetty) Burns, Jack was the second of three children. He was an industrious school boy and helped his Dad with his electrical store deliveries, had a paper route and also worked for the shoemaker and then in a men’s wear store after school. After graduating from Phillip Sheffi eld High School, he worked in Eaton’s Men’s Wear and also with the Fraser Valley Diking Board as an apprentice Surveyor before starting his 35 year career at BC Hydro in Abbotsford, eventually transferring to Hope, Chilliwack and Kamloops, where he was a “Land Rep” and retired at age 55. On December 15, 1951 he married Ruth Duveen Larson in Chilliwack BC. Jack’s passion and favorite hobby was building and about every three years in his spare time he would have the urge to build us a new house — needless to say we moved many times and were fortunate to always live in “The House That Jack Built”.
He was a founding member of the Abbotsford Kinsman club, Boy Scout Leader “Aquino” in Hope as well as a Chamber of Commerce member. He joined the
Masonic Ionic Kent Lodge #19 in 1960 in Chilliwack and received his 50 year pin in 2010 and was also a Chilliwack Volunteer Municipal Fireman. In Kamloops Jack was a member of the Builder’s Association of
Kamloops 1965-73, Director of the Boys Club from 1971-73 and President of the Boys Club in 1974, joined the Royal Arch Masons of BC, Kamloops Chapter #18 in 1973 and in his capacity as a BC Hydro Rep presented many achievement awards to 4H Club Members.
In his late teens he was a sparring partner for a wrestler. In those years he started to bowl, curl, jog and bike. After he retired he had other JOBS as he called them — such as the Lawn Bowling club, Remote Control Model Airplane Club, Kamloops Golf and Country Club and Cross Country Ski Club, where he enthusiastically helped to maintain and clear the trails. Jack was also involved in building the ski hut at Stake Lake. He belonged to the Kamloops Tennis Club and helped build an offi ce and of course put the bubble up and down seasonally and weeded the courts with a crew of young players. He played partners tennis but his favorite sport was singles tennis where at age 67 he entered and won a bronze medal in the BC Senior’s Games. He also played pool and a mean game of crib with any and all who would challenge him. He taught most of the children in the family to play crib and tried, but only taught a few, to play tennis. He liked to hunt and fi sh but was generally accused of really enjoying sitting in the weeds and watching the animals and birds, so rarely came home with a catch. He loved to go camping at the lakes or beaches of BC or Washington State and was also fortunate to visit numerous countries in the world making friends and enjoying laughter with his jokes wherever he went.
Jack was a loving husband and father and a true caring friend always ready to give you a hand. He was a decent, kind, honest, patient gentle man and an ardent storyteller with an infectious sense of humour. He had a ready smile and constantly teased us. He always had time to chat and had the ability to make conversation with anyone on any topic.
A grateful thank you to Dr. Miranda du Preez for her care and compassion toward Jack and our family — you are the best!!. We also are so very appreciative to Teena, and All the wonderful staff at Overlander Extended Care Facility for their TLC. What a team! A special thank you to Shari, Tom and Sharon who shared Jack’s journey the past few years — you are a blessing.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Jack’s life will be held at a later date in the spring. An announcement will follow.
If friends desire, please make a donation to a charity of your choice in memory of Jack.
JACK’S PASSING LEAVES A HUGE HOLE IN THE LIVES OF HIS FAMILY AND WE WILL CARRY HIM IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.
WE REMEMBER ALL THOSE WONDERFUL YEARS.

The ShipI am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

MOOSE JAW — Canada’s famed Snowbirds aerobatic flying team has been forced to cancel all shows in the United States because of bud-get cuts.
Snowbirds spokes-
man Capt. Thomas
Edelson said the num-
ber of flying hours were
cut for the squadron
based in Moose Jaw,
so the four U.S. shows
were cancelled.
Edelson said the
team enjoys going
south of the border, but
Canadian audiences
have to be the priority.Herb Gillen, a
spokesman for the Oregon International Air Show, said organiz-ers received a call from the Snowbirds about 10 days ago to cancel a September show.
Gillen said remov-
ing the Snowbirds from the lineup is a fairly big blow for the Oregon show.
He said organizers are regrouping and try-ing to figure out what the viability of the show is if it doesn’t have a jet-demonstration team.
By Adam WilliamsSTAFF REPORTER
It might not be hap-pening on the coldest night of the year, but The Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser is hoping to help people understand the issue of poverty across Canada.
The Coldest Night of the Year is a national fundraiser, taking place on Feb. 22, 2014, in 63 cities from coast to coast.
In Kamloops, the event includes five-kilo-metre and 10-kilometre
walks, with walkers teaming up to raise money and awareness to help combat poverty and homelessness.
Stan Dueck, execu-tive director of the New Life Mission, the local organizer, said the pro-gram is about making sure those who have the greatest need get those needs met.
“Go watch some of the news programs,” Dueck said. “It’s been 20 below around here — or close — for the last couple weeks and
we still had people sleeping under bridges.
“What we want peo-ple to see and recognize is we’re walking on a night when probably it’s going to be cool — in
Kamloops, chances are
it may not be ice cold, it
may not even be below
zero — but, the fact of the matter is, there are people that are living outside in these condi-tions. They’re sleeping outside in these condi-tions.”
Dueck said the pro-gram is as much about
raising money as raising awareness.
The issue of home-lessness and poverty is more complicated than people not wanting to work, he said, noting there are also issues of addiction, mental illness and a lack of supports.
Nationally, the goal of The Coldest Night of the Year is to raise $2.5 million. The New Life Mission is aim-ing to raise $50,000 in Kamloops.
As of Friday, Feb. 7, Kamloops had
raised $6,209, 12 per cent of its goal, with $688,637,000 having been raised nationwide, 27 per cent of the goal.
Last year, the sec-ond time the New Life Mission participated in the event, it raised between $22,000 and $23,000 Dueck said.
Kamloops has 26 teams consisting of about 80 walkers reg-istered, with the target being 300 participants by the time the event rolls around.
Captaining one of those teams is Mayor Peter Milobar.
“For us, that’s just
a big deal,” Dueck said of the city’s support, adding he is hoping Milobar’s challenge to council to get involved will bear fruit.

Hewitt, Terwiel show dreams are within reach
Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]
K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT
It’s not often residents of a city the size of Kamloops get a chance to watch their own aim for a medal on the biggest sporting stage in the world.
In the next two weeks, how-ever, Kamloopsians will get just that opportunity as speed skater Jessica Hewitt and alpine skier Elli Terwiel take to the ice and slopes in Sochi, Russia, as part of our respective national teams.
Kamloops is Canada’s Tournament Capital, a monicker firmly rooted in this city’s
sports heritage.What better representation of
that slogan, that lifestyle, than the two young women whose hard work and untold sacrifice has vaulted them to the pinnacle of their competitive careers?
As detailed in our sports pages in this edition (page A15), Hewitt and her Canadian speed-skating teammates have started the Olympic Winter Games impressively.
Hewitt finished second in her opening 500-metre heat and will skate in the quarter-finals on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 2 a.m. (set those alarm clocks as the race is on CBC).
Five days after that race, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, Hewitt and her teammates will skate for gold in the always-exciting short-track 3,000-metre relay (again, set your alarm clocks for that 2:45 a.m. start on CBC).
Terwiel will ski for glory on Friday, Feb. 21, with two runs broadcast on Sportsnet — at 4:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.
Do yourself a favour and try to rise and watch these home-town heroes as they embody all that is right with youth and demonstrate to all Kamloops athletes that dreams never die — regardless of how distant they may seem.
From Sochi to the Cold War via that iconic, scary symbolM
UCH ATTENTION AT the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi has been focused on the
exorbitant cost, the threat of terrorist strikes from militant Islamists fight-ing for a religious state of their own in the region near Sochi and less-than-stellar accommodations.
However, as with Vancouver in 2010 and Beijing in 2008, the opening cer-emony in Sochi was breathtaking.
From Peter the Great; to Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace; to Russia’s mind-boggling span of land mass set to a musical production; to the legendary Vladislav Tretiak lighting the Olympic torch, the three-hour production was impressive — glitches and all.
However, there was an image in the Sochi opening ceremony that jumped out at me like no other — an image that elicits varying reactions specific to a generation.
When a giant hammer and sickle entered Fisht Stadium to symbolize the Russian Revolution and the country’s seven-decade-plus era under commu-nism, there appeared to be enhanced cheering from the crowd.
On social-media networks like Twitter, especially among Americans watching the spectacle, there was much criticism, with many opining the giant sculptures were an ode to communism.
I saw it differently. I saw the hammer and sickle as but one part of a ceremony that detailed the history of the world’s largest country. I did not see glorification in the display, which featured workers toiling alongside the two most dominant images of the Cold War.
But, that hammer and sickle — man, did it get my heart beating a bit faster.
I thought, as I watched it sail through the air, how vastly different my reaction is to those two tools than would be my kids’ or anyone else who grew up after
the 1980s.Coming of age in the 1970s and
1980s, there was Us and Them — and they were the mysterious, robot-like, ungodly Evil Empire.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, embod-ied the Cold War as did the hammer and sickle.
When I was a kid, the Stars and Stripes looked powerful, our Maple Leaf was comfortable, but the mighty Soviet Union’s hammer and sickle was simply frightening.
Combine those two workers’ imple-ments with that powerful Soviet national anthem and this Western kid was occa-sionally jolted awake by nightmares of a decided political bent.
My generation knew all about 1972 (though we were too young to remem-ber, if we watched at all). We knew all about the Cuban Missile Crisis before that and the strange scene of Nikita Khrushchev pounding his fist (or shoe) on the table at the United Nations before that.
But, it wasn’t until the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, leading to the duelling boycotts of the 1980 Olympic Summer Games in Moscow and the 1984 Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles — both of which coincided with the beginning of Ronald Reagan’s two terms — that my generation had its
Cold War moments.Add to those events the Eagle and the
Bear fighting proxy warns in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Grenada and the simplistic Us vs. Them/Good vs. Evil became a bit more complex to teenaged minds.
To me, Daniel Ortega was less a vil-lain and more a hero; Archbishop Oscar Romero’s murder was an indictment of the CIA and U.S. policy in Central America; the invasion of Grenada seemed a bit bullyish.
Still, still — that hammer and sickle remained an image of fear etched in my mind.
To some extent, it continues to be so today, if not inspiring fear, then rocketing me back to the pre-Internet days of yore when shaping the world view of youth was so much easier than it is today.
Back then, we had Walter Cronkite at dinnertime on KIRO, the Seattle CBS affiliate. We had Knowlton Nash on the CBC and Harvey Kirck on CTV. We had newspapers.
And that’s about it.Today, skepticism abounds thanks to
the Internet’s power to spread voices — sane and deluded; honest and corrupt — around the world in an instant.
When I read about the Sochi Olympics, my mind still imagines the Russia of my youth, the Soviet Union of terrifying lore, the land of power and mystery.
When today’s kids read about the Sochi Olympics, their minds are on the sport and, perhaps, on whatever else they know of the country — and I guar-antee it is much more Pussy Riot and Ovechkin and precious little gulags and communism.
When I see the hammer and sickle, I see an image that defines my youth; when kids see the hammer and sickle, what do they see?

Re: Story: How Rivers rose — and a brief history of publc-art protocol in Kamloops:
“Now, if we could extend the ‘artistic’ approach to everything we do in this city, we would have a daily spectacle!
“The ideas and thinking that goes through a person’s mind when contemplating an art piece, regardless of what it is, is the true value of what art is all about. It inspires.
“Let’s extend ‘artful thinking to all public spaces in our city, not only static displays, but the living part as well — the plants!”

Trudeau’s Senate move is ‘bold new thinking’Editor:
Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has made a bold move in his release of Liberal senators from the party caucus, while members of the Conservative party are dismissing the significance.
Trudeau makes the point that the Senate is broken and needs to be fixed and, given recent media reports, police enquiries and public sentiments, the Canadian public agrees.
Also in agreement for Senate reform are members of both the Conservative and New Democratic parties.
There is, however, no consensus, nor even a mature discussion, on how to affect any reforms. The Conservatives favour an elected Senate and the NDP would abolish it altogether.
The Senate model, with its partisan wrangling over short-term power strug-
gles, has usurped the original intention of providing sober second thought as a coun-terbalance to parliamentary decisions.
As an aside, it is worth noting there are no NDP senators to help balance upper-chamber debates.
The Conservatives are right when they state no immediate changes in Senate function are forthcoming.
Trudeau’s disentanglement transcends the immediate and does not require the lengthy, angst-ridden, costly and compli-cated constitutional changes that would accompany abolishment proceedings or triple-E status as proposed by the other parties.
Senators with Liberal hearts, as well as those with Conservative hearts, will still apply their world views to the debates of the day and short-term changes will be hard to notice.
But, over time, with senators unfettered by the election cycle fears of Parliament, perhaps we can begin to see a relevant function in the form of independently applied wisdom from within the Red Chamber.
Perhaps at some point we can even appreciate NDP views among Senate debates.
In context of today’s political realities, Trudeau’s release of Liberal senators from the caucus is a practical, intelligent move that disrupts the current mechanics of appointment and allegiance.
It demonstrates bold new thinking, savvy politics and intellectual weight.
I appreciate the new thinking and the fact somebody actually stepped forward and did something.
Peter MutrieKamloops
Editor:There continues to be opin-
ion expressed by anti-mining people residing in and around Kamloops that the industry should operate under a zero-impact umbrella.
For any industry, and for any human activity, this is impossible.
Any reasonable person understands mines cannot be developed without some impact — negative and posi-tive.
The reason we have an environmental-review pro-cess is to discover how much impact there will be and whether the predicted negative
impacts are worth the positive socio-economic benefit to the region.
Similar to the panel review findings of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, some projects are seen as more necessary for the greater public good despite estimated negative impacts.
This may well be the case for the Ajax mine proposal.
There is a robust team of highly skilled and well-cre-dentialed individuals working on the Ajax project.
Their objective is to find a way for the proponent to sub-mit an environmental assess-ment that will be accepted into
the review process.Many of these people are
from Kamloops, possibly your neighbours, who work for companies based in this city.
We should not ignore their findings.
We certainly should not favour emotional expressions of opinion given as “facts” by anti-mining groups — which often send letters to this newspaper and post to vari-ous websites — over actual scientific information gathered by experts working on the project.
The final decision for or against Ajax will have to weigh the eco-
nomic benefits against the environmental impacts.
This is not an easy deci-sion, especially with the pres-sure of rising unemployment and while personal and prop-erty taxes continue to increase as a necessary measure to pay for all we want in this city.
The Ajax proposal should be allowed to proceed through a fair and objective review.
Anti-mining propaganda backed by bad science should not be allowed to interfere with the collection and report-ing of real data backed by scientific study.

Milobar’s totals do not include the expenses for a visit to Kamloops’ sister city, Uji, Japan, with Coun. Donovan Cavers and other community members.
Council’s airfare, which Milobar said was about $1,400 each, is paid for out of a special sister-city reserve fund.
Council expenses totalled $38,833 for the year.
That’s on the higher side when com-pared to 2012, when councillors spent $31,850, and 2011, when expenses totalled $25,999 (though the 2011 elec-tion meant those councillors had only 10 full months in which to travel).
But, Milobar said, he doesn’t think this was an unusual year for council travel.
“It fluctuates that little bit and, with the cost of airfares and even a night in a hotel, all it takes is an extra trip or two and suddenly the number can creep up a bit,” he said.
“Then there’s things like the Mayors’ caucus, which was just created over the last year and a bit, which adds another trip a year.”
Milobar attributes the rise in council expenses to the number of meetings councillors attended because of their work on other boards.
Coun. Marg Spina, who is presi-dent of the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA), was the only other councillor to exceed the $5,000 limit, with $5,519 in expenses.
Most of those were split between the UBCM and FCM conventions held in Vancouver, both of which cost more than $2,000 to attend.
As head of SILGA, Spina attends several additional UBCM board meet-ings a year, as does Coun. Arjun Singh.
However, because both she and Singh serve on the board, not on com-mittees, those travel expenses are paid for by the UBCM instead of the city.
Total expenses below $50KFrom A1

VALENTINE’S DAY
While many will spend Valentine’s
Day — and perhaps the weekend that
follows it — immersed in all things
hearts-and-flowers, David Darwin
will be focusing on another aspect of
love: Marital relationships.
Darwin, a local psychologist, is
again offering a one-day workshop
based on principles he learned dur-
ing a training period at the Gottman
Institute in Seattle, which works to
help couples and mental-health or
health-care providers confront all the
things that make a marriage.
Darwin said that, while commu-
nication is important, it’s equally as
vital to be friends who can work their
way through any conflict to create a
better marital foundation.
This can involve issues like avoid-
ing criticism, stonewalling or con-
tempt, he said.
The workshop involves “very
structured, simple exercises,” Darwin
said, as well as debriefings.
“Some couples said we had cov-
ered more ground in that one day
than they had in years,” Darwin said
of the response after last year’s work-
shop.
He is holding it at the Southwest
Community Church, 700 Hugh Allan
Dr. in Aberdeen, but emphasized
there is no religious connection —
it was just a convenient space that
could accommodate the workshop.
Registration is $345 per couple.

ter, go online to perspectives-counsel-

It’s always been parent-partici-pating, Pernitsky said.
In addition to ensuring there was always someone else there to help with the kids, having parents involved created its own larger pre-school family.
She started as a substitute teach-
er a quarter-century ago, going full-time when then-teacher Joan Lyons left. Pernitsky has her own retire-ment plan, one that sees her ideally leaving in about five years.
“I want to retire while I’m still a good etcher,” she said.
She’s thrilled with the new school, which now has its own
fridge, stove, microwave, dish-washer and deep freeze.
There are a lot of items that will be familiar, though.
There’s an animal cage, this year providing a home to a chin-chilla.
There’s a dress-up area for kids’ imaginations to soar.
The kid-sized tables and chairs are still there and artwork adorns the walls.
Her rocking chair is still there, a stack of books nearby for story time.
Even the old cubbies kids used to keep their shoes and coats in are there — but they benefitted
from another Pernitsky walk.“I was walking by and one of
the workmen asked me if I could use the old ice buckets from the rooms,” she said.
They’re now filling each cubby, holding a variety of fun items for kids to play with — and from which to learn.
Neknomination is being blamed for two deaths in Ireland last week and has spread across the globe rapidly. Adam said her office is not aware of any injuries to TRU students play-ing the game.
Of particular concern with Neknomination is the bullying or peer-pressure aspect, with indi-viduals singled out for the challenges.
Adam said the university is monitoring social media to ensure the game isn’t taking place on campus and is educating its students
and residence staff members about the dangers of playing.
Adam added recent surveys conducted on student health, including drinking behaviours, leads her office to believe TRU students already take steps to reduce risk and drink responsibly. The nature of the game, however, is what has TRU officials concerned.
“Because this had that social media and the peer pressure aspect to it, we were just con-cerned that it might counterbalance some of the things we know they make good decisions about normally,” Adam said.
Pernitsky will add to her 25 years at schoolFrom A1

INSIDE Changes to Kamloops Marathon/A16
K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKSPORTS
Canadian short-track speed skater Jessica Hewitt had two strong performances at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, on Monday, Feb. 10.
The Kamloops product finished second in her heat in the ladies’ 500-metre event, posting a time of 43.447 seconds. Kexin Fan of China was first with a time of 43.356.
“I felt pretty nervous before-hand but, once I got on the ice, I took it all in for a second and I felt really calm,” Hewitt told KTW from Sochi.
“My race went well I had a good start and I finished with the second-fastest time, I’m happy and I’m confident.
“We were expected to be in the final for the relay, so it’s a good result and I can’t wait for the final.
“Things here are crazy with a lot of excitement, so I’m trying to relax as much as I can.
Hewitt will race in the quarter-final round on Thursday, Feb. 13.
The races begin at 2 a.m.
Kamloopsians should also think about getting up early on Feb. 18, when Hewitt and the Canadian women’s team compete for gold in the 3,000-m relay final.
They are scheduled to race at 2:54 a.m.
Hewitt, along with teammates Valerie Maltais, Marianne St. Gelais and Marie-Eve Drolet, placed sec-ond in their heat in the semifinal round on Monday.
It appears the 27-year-old is peaking at the right time.
Cycling accidentHewitt had an unfortunate run-
in with metal spikes in Sochi on Saturday, Feb. 8.
“I was biking last night back from the rink to go to the dining room and I cut across a pathway and I didn’t see some big metal spikes sticking out of the grass,” she told the media.
“So I hit that and fell face-first.”The cuts on her face were visible
at training on Sunday.

Jim Cotter will be heading to his home town of Kamloops as the reigning B.C. champion for the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier.
Cotter’s team, with Olympic champion John Morris calling the shots and Kelowna residents Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky rounding out the team, were crowned B.C. champions after a decisive victory over Team Montgomery on Sunday, Feb. 9.
“Going to a Brier in my hometown is going to be a phenomenal feeling. I still have a lot of friends and family there and I am really looking forward to it,” Cotter said.
The Canadian Direct Insurance BC Men’s Curling Championship final ended 12-2 after eight ends.
Morris and Cotter were in control from the start, opening with three points. It
was then up to Jason Montgomery and his team of Jody Epp, throwing fourth rocks, Miles Craig and Will Duggan to catch up.
But, it was not to be. The team from Victoria was never able
to take control of the game and its fate was sealed in the seventh end, when Team Morris secured a four-ender, putting the score at 10-2.
The game followed a thrilling semifinal tilt on Saturday that saw Montgomery’s rink edge 2009 B.C. champion Brent Pierce on the last rock of the 10th end.
This will be the fourth trip to the Brier for Cotter, who grew up in Kamloops but now lives in Vernon.
It will also be the fourth trip to the Brier for Sawatsky and the second trip to the Brier for Griffith.
Skip Morris, who joined the rink at the start of the season, is no stranger to the Brier, with six purple hearts to his name, but this is the first time Morris will repre-sent B.C.
Kamloops rinks skipped by Scott DeCap and Brent Yamada fell short at the provincial championship.
Yamada’s was the closest of the two Kamloops Curling Club rinks, winning four straight games after losing its first to New Westminster’s Pierce rink.
A rematch against Pierce in the B-event final ended in a 6-4 loss for Yamada and the team was eliminated from conten-tion with a 10-4 loss to Tom Buchy’s Kimberley rink.
DeCap led his rink to victories in its first two games, before losing three
straight and falling out of contention.
Brier field setCurling fans in Kamloops now know
who will compete for the national title next month at Interior Savings Centre.
The field: John Morris (British Columbia), Brad Gushue (Newfoundland-Labrador), Jeff Stoughton (Manitoba), Steve Laycock (Saskatchewan), Glenn Howard (Ontario), Jamie Murphy (Nova Scotia), Eddie MacKenzie (Prince Edward Island), James Grattan (New Brunswick), Jeff Currie (Northern Ontario), Jamie Koe (Northwest Territories/Yukon), Kevin Koe (Alberta) and Jean-Michel Menard (Quebec).
The Brier runs from March 1 to March 9 at ISC.

The Kamloops Marathon will see a handful of changes in 2014, which organizers are hoping will help registration swell to more than 400 racers.
Each of the mara-thon’s races will be held on the same day — July 27, 2014 — rather than span-ning two days, with staggered start times allowing for all run-ners to finish at similar times.
The 10-kilometre race will be shortened
to an eight-kilometre event, while the five-kilometre route will be downgraded to a three-kilometre walk/run for families.
The half-marathon will be included in the Interior Running Association’s Canadian Tire Road Race Series in 2014.
Organizers have also added a marathon relay — with four runners racing about 10 kilometres each — which is expected to bring more people
on board.The marathon dis-
tance will again be a qualifier for the Boston Marathon in 2015.
This will be the third annual Kamloops Marathon and, for the third year, a portion of the race’s entry fees will go toward bursaries for athletes at Thompson Rivers University.
All participants will receive a shirt and a medal and will be able to partake in a pancake breakfast.

Former Kamloops Venom lacrosse player Quinn Smith was drafted by the Langley Thunder of the Western Lacrosse Association on Feb. 6.
Smith was selected in the fourth round, with the Thunder’s first pick of the draft, 22nd overall. Smith played his junior lacrosse for the New Westminster Salmonbellies.
Kamloops native Alex Turner also plays for the Thunder.
Going first overall in the draft to the Coquitlam Adanacs was Tyler
Garrison. The 6-foot-2 right-hander plays professionally for the Vancouver Stealth.
The calibre of lacrosse in the WLA is high, as the majority of its players also play in the National Lacrosse League during the winter months.
Titans dump VikingsThe South Kamloops Titans beat the
Valleyview Vikings 55-23 in tier 2 junior
girls’ basketball action on Thursday, Feb. 6.
Andrea Bissonnette led the way for the

COLE IN THE FIRE
Cole Ully of the Kamloops Blazers competes for a loose puck in front of the Victoria Royals’ net at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Feb. 7. The Blazers continued taking their lumps on the weekend, losing 3-1 to the Royals on Friday and failing to score in a 3-0 loss to the Calgary Hitmen at ISC on Saturday, Feb. 8. Kamloops (11-40-2-3) is last in the Western Conference and was tied in the WHL’s cellar with the Lethbridge Hurricanes (11-41-2-3), the Eastern Conference’s last-place squad, as of KTW’s press deadline on Monday, Feb. 10. Kamloops squared off against the Tri-City Americans at ISC on Monday afternoon. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for the result. Prior to Friday’s game, Dennis Coates was honoured with the WHL Distinguished Service Award for the 2013–2014 season. Allen Douglas/KTW

It was Jacob Tricarico’s tribute night on Friday, Feb. 7, inside the TRU gym, an eve-ning intended to honour the fifth-year middle from Huntington Beach, Calif.
Tricarico used the spotlight to help sew up the WolfPack’s playoff plans, picking up the team’s final kill in a 3-1 victory against the Manitoba Bisons, clinching TRU’s first-ever home playoff series in men’s volleyball.
With the victory, TRU improves to 13-9 on the season, while Manitoba is 10-12.
“He had a great match,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly said of Tricarico.
“I love it when a guy — on his night — comes through.”
The WolfPack were playing without right side hitter Brad Gunter, who remains out of the lineup with an ankle injury.
In Gunter’s absence, Casey Knight led the WolfPack with 19 kills in 44 opportunities.
Colin Carson had 47 assists, while Stuart Richey had a team-high 11 digs. Tricarico totalled 13 kills on the night.
The WolfPack fell 3-1 to the Bisons on Saturday, Feb. 8.
TRU will host the Saskatchewan Huskies (11-11) in the first round of the playoffs.
Match 1 of the best-of-three series will be played at the Tournament Capital Centre on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m., with Match 2 set for Friday, Feb. 14., inside the TRU gym.
Hoops squad locks up playoff berth
The TRU WolfPack men’s basketball team
is headed to the Canada West playoffs after splitting a pair of week-end games against the Victoria Vikes (17-3).
The Pack topped the Vikes 82-68 on Feb. 7, before falling 94-74 on Feb. 8.
The WolfPack are 12-8 and sit in third place in the Canada West’s Pacific division.
They will finish either third or fourth.
“We set a goal of making the playoffs at the start of the year and I am proud of the guys for achieving that,” head coach Scott Clark said.
Pack women earn split on Island
The TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team split a pair of games in Victoria on the weekend, losing 77-60 to the Vikes on Feb. 7 before winning the rematch 84-82 on Feb. 8.
The WolfPack remain in fourth place in the Canada West’s Pacific Division and have already clinched a playoff berth.
With only two games remaining in the regular season, the WolfPack will play the top team in the Prairie division on the road — Alberta (18-2), Regina (18-2) or Saskatchewan (17-3) — in the first round of the playoffs.
Winless season comes to an end
TRU’s women’s volleyball team closed out the season with a pair of 3-0 losses to the Manitoba Bisons on the weekend.
The WolfPack posted
a 0-22 record, having won only one set all year.
Clan teach WolfPack a lesson on ice
The WolfPack men’s hockey team was routed by the Simon Fraser Clan on Saturday, Feb. 8, falling 8-2.
Simon Fraser improves to 16-2, while the WolfPack falls to 9-10.
“I think the problems we have gone through over the last few weeks finally caught up to us,” WolfPack head coach Don Schulz said.
“We weren’t moving our feet or doing any-thing that we taught the players. Against a team like SFU, you can’t let that happen.”
Anthony Delong and Duncan Schulz scored the goals, while Chris Solecki and Mark Menicucci split time in goal.
TRU is tied for third with the Trinity Western Spartans.
The B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League’s top four teams receive playoff berths.

Strings brought Trent Freeman and the rest of The Fretless band together.
“Through the fiddle, we’ve known each other a long time,” Freeman said of the group that includes Ivonne Hernandez, Karrnnel Sawitsky and Eric Wright.
While one might expect a quartet that plays violin, viola and cello to lean more to Mozart, The Fretless is all about folk music, Freeman said.
Its beginnings came from the simple joy of jamming together, Freeman said, although the idea of forming a quartet was always there somewhere.
“We have similar traditional backgrounds” in music, he said, “but each of us comes a it from a different place.”
Hernandez, who plays violin and viola and step-dances, has performed with Alan Jackson, Steve Winwood, Natalie MacMaster, Ben Heppner and film composer Howard Shore. She takes folk music and turns it upside down.
Sawitsky, who plays violin and viola, draws his influences
from almost anywhere music is played, including classi-cal, country, rock, blues, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, Ukrainian, French-Canadian, Metis, Irish and Scottish.
Cellist Wright’s musical roots are based in traditional Irish and folk music and Freeman — whose parents wanted him to learn piano — said he’s willing to follow in any musical journey the band wants to take.
The musical dispute in the Freeman house ended when five-year-old Trent opted for violin “because it looked like a guitar.”
The group is popular with festivals and does a fair amount of touring.
“We go over big in the Maritimes,” Freeman said. Tonight (Tuesday, Feb. 11), the four are at The Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge, a venue Freeman is familiar with and finds a cool place to per-form.
With a photographer accom-panying the group on this tour, he’s particularly delighted to be at the Commodore because the setting itself will likely lead to some “amazing candid shots.”
Don’t fret about this quartet
Born out of jam sessions, The Fretless are bringing their strings to The
Commodore tonight (Feb. 11).

Tom Landa didn’t
pick music as a career,
he said.
It picked him.
Growing up in
Mexico City, he was surrounded by the music of the country but preferred to listen to pop and rock.
“Every penny and all my allowance went into buying 45s and I listened to the radio,” he said. “And, as a teen, I really got into rock music.”
(For those of you unfamiliar with 45s, they were seven-inch vinyl records that rotated 45 times per minute — hence the name — and invariably contained one song
on each side.)Music went from his
passion to his profes-sion and he’s perhaps best known for The Paperboys, a folk-music band he created after moving to Vancouver.
That band’s first three albums each gar-nered Juno Award nom-inations, with the band finally winning one in 1997 for Molinos.
More awards fol-lowed and, while The Paperboys had elements of Celtic, African, zydeco, soul and coun-
try, Landa wanted to do more with the sounds of his heritage.
“The last two records with the Paperboys had Mexican influences,” Landa said, “but I want-ed to go full hog into the Latin thing.”
Locarno was born.It also combines
various sounds, Landa said, but they all have the same Latin roots.
A Canada Council grant helped him hone his skills in the many sounds when he studied in Veracruz, Mexico,
with Ramon Guttierrez,
an expert in not only
the songs of the Latin
Culture but many of its
unique instruments, as
well.
Landa, for example,
has added the jarana —
a small stringed, fretted
instrument — to the
instruments he’ll pick
up during a show.
He also plays piano, guitar “and a bit of banjo.”
Kamloopsians will have a chance to see him and his band on Thursday, Feb. 13, when Locarno performs at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, at 7 p.m.
As for the name, Landa said Locarno has several definitions. It’s a city in Switzerland, a beach in Vancouver and
the name of a Spanish sailor.
He chose it because he wanted “a name that could be pronounced in English and Spanish. If we’d used a Spanish name, it would get butchered too much.”

Network. Learn. Be mentored. Win! ONE PROGRAM—MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES
School of Business & Economics
Students and Faculty of Thompson Rivers University gathered together to hear from CIBC professionals on January 21 as part of a Business Kickstart 101 Career Path Information session.
Business Kickstart 101 consists of events that bring employers and students together for valuable networking experiences.
Mobility is the Message
CIBC, which is one of Canada’s leading banks, employs over 42,000 people and offers an abundance of opportunity for prospective employees.
Eight CIBC employees talked to the audience about their career paths and gave students their advice when it comes to breaking into the industry.
The main message of the evening was mobility.
“ If you’re a mobile employee and willing to work in rural areas, you’ll be able to move up more quickly,”
president of retail distribution at CIBC.
Jennifer Husband, intake manager of CIBC for the British Columbia Northern Territories region, also agreed that smaller, rural communities are a great option for new graduates.
Husband also stated that students can better prepare themselves for employment by attending events like those offered under the umbrella of Business Kickstart 101 and using their networking skills to their advantage.
Two of the speakers, Adam Schleiermacher and Kamal Kaur, are recent graduates from TRU, and both of them agreed that networking is important.
“ Keep your connections open,” said Schleiermacher. “Talk to everybody.”
To get involved in Business Kickstart 101, contact John Zubak at [email protected].

WHEN YOU have a car that has topped
the sales charts for 16
straight years, you sim-
ply leave it alone.
Right?
Wrong — at least
when you’re talking
about Honda and its
Civic compact.
After a major rede-
sign in 2012 with the
introduction of the
ninth-generation model
and a refresh of the sedan for 2013, Honda has concentrated much of its efforts for 2014 on the two-door coupe.
The Civic Coupe gets a significant rede-sign on the front and rear flanks, while the sedan boasts a snappy new interior look.
Also new for 2014 is a continuous variable transmission (CVT) that promises improved fuel economy and perfor-mance without much of the dreaded “whine” that most CVTs exhibit.
It replaces an outdat-ed five-speed automatic transmission.
So how has Honda been able to keep the Civic atop the sales heap in Canada for all these years?
According to Dave Gardner, vice president of sales and marketing for Honda Canada, it’s because the Civic is such a well-rounded car with variants that appeal
to all walks of life.“Our strategy is to
continue as the bench-mark,” Gardner said, as Honda Canada intro-duced the new Civic model to Canadian auto journalists here in the land of Disney and sun-shine.
“We’re going to give it our best shot to keep the Civic the best-sell-ing car for 17 straight years.”
Honda Canada says the Civic is rated at or near the top for each of the five key purchase reasons for compact car buyers — value for the money, dynamics, safety, premium exterior and technology.
For 2014, the Civic Coupe gets a sportier look with a bold new grille, headlights and taillights along with a sculptured hood, front fenders, side mirrors and rear bumper.
Step up to the performance-oriented Si Coupe (the Si is also
available on the sedan as well) and you get a bolder, more aggres-sive look again with an exclusive grille design to set it apart from the regular Civic Coupe.
There is also a float-ing spoiler on the rear deck lid to emphasize the high performance of the vehicle. New 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels add to the sportiness.
Inside the cabin, the 2014 Civic is also upgraded with new upholstery fabric, a sev-en-inch display screen for audio and navigation functions and a snappy new red colour combi-nation for the Si.
All this follows a significant interior refresh in 2013 to com-bat criticism that qual-ity and features within the cabin were lagging behind the competition.
The familiar dual-tiered dashboard returns with displays top and bottom.
It gives the interior a unique look, but the top tier readouts are sometimes difficult to rear in bright lighting conditions.
Otherwise, every-thing is top notch with new high-tech features like the available seven-inch capacitive touch screen that will handle HondaLink, an appli-cation-based platform that allows integration of your car and your smartphone, providing access to online and cloud-based content and information.
LaneWatch is Honda’s blind-spot monitor that goes one step further than we’ve seen before.
It uses a camera, mounted under the passenger-side mirror, which can be activated by turning on the right turn signal or tapping the end of the signal stock.
The driver sees what the camera picks up on
the big display screen atop the centre stack, meaning less time with your eyes off the road.
The Civic Sedan, which starts at $15,690, comes in four trim lev-els — DX, LX, EX and Touring.
A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all but the Touring model, which gets the CVT. The CVT is a $1,300 option on LX and EX.
For the Civic Coupe, trims include LX, EX and EX-L Navi, which offers only the CVT. The others get the 5-speed manual as stan-dard. The Coupe EX and EX-L get steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
The engines are unchanged, but power and fuel efficiency are improved over last year.

The Civic Sedan and Coupe feature a 1.8-litre twin-stage VTEC engine, with power up three horses to 143 and torque up one to 129 lb/ft.
Thanks to the new CVT transmission, fuel efficiency improves to 6.9/5.1/6.1L/100 km city/highway/combined.
Unfortunately, the performance-oriented Si wasn’t yet available for testing, but it has an
additional four horses to
205, and torque jumps
from 170 to 174 lb/ft
thanks to refinements in
the exhaust system.
Suspensions on both
the regular Civic Coupe
and Si model have been
tuned to improve han-
dling and the steering
has been tweaked to pro-
vide a more linear feel.
All this sounds great
in theory, but it’s how it
all comes together that really counts.
Here, the Civic shines with perfor-
mance and responsive-ness that is sportier than ever before.
This is a car that has always handled well, but the upgrades for
2014 move it up among the class leaders in all areas.
The ride is generally smooth and composed with little road noise making it into the cabin except on sub-par pave-ment.
There’s enough power in the Civic for everyday driving situa-tions, but keep in mind the regular coupe and
sedan are tuned for fuel efficiency, not perfor-mance.
For that, move up to the Si version and the 200+ horses it provides.
And, if even greater fuel efficiency is what you want, the Civic Hybrid will be on sale in March.
For the Si Coupe and Sedan, you’ll have to wait until March 12 and
April 1 respectively. The regular Civic
Sedan and Coupe are on sale now.
So with the 2014 Civic, there really is something for everyone.
It’s no wonder it’s been the best-selling car in Canada for all these years and with the changes noted above.
And, it’s obvious Honda isn’t about to

Maserati for your earsBowers & Wilkins has announced
the P5 Maserati Edition Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones.
These join the Bowers & Wilkins 805 Maserati Edition loudspeaker and Bowers & Wilkins uniquely tuned in-car audio systems for the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte.
The highly regarded Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones are now available in a special Maserati Edition, matching the unbeatable audio performance of Bowers & Wilkins with the under-stated elegance of Maserati.
Paying homage to the design heri-tage of both brands, the P5 Maserati Edition delivers an immersive mobile listening experience and the
true sound performance that is syn-onymous with all Bowers & Wilkins audio products, combined with design elements and materials drawn from the rich Italian heritage of Maserati.
The P5 Maserati Edition is crafted from fine-grain natural leather, in Maserati’s distinctive deep blue, for a luxuriously comfortable fit.
P5 Maserati Edition also features the iconic Maserati Trident emblem on both the headband and the exclu-sive quilted leather travel pouch.
The Trident was designed by Mario Maserati, based on the statue of Neptune in the fountain of Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore.
The P5 Maserati Edition is avail-able online at maseratistore.com.
Extending the collaboration between two legendary brands, Bowers & Wilkins has announced the P5 Maserati Edition Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones.
Chev unveils pricing for 2014 CamaroChevrolet has
announced the 2014 Camaro Z/28 will go on sale this spring in Canada with a sug-gested retail price of $77,400, plus a $1,600 destination charge.
The new Z/28 is offered in five exte-rior colors – Red Hot, Black, Silver Ice Metallic, Ashen Grey
Metallic and Summit
White.
The Z/28’s unique
exterior is designed like
a racecar to produce
downforce that presses
the tires against the
track for greater grip
– up to 1.08 g in corner-
ing acceleration – and
faster lap times.
The aerodynami-cally optimized design helped the Camaro Z/28 log a lap on Germany’s legendary Nurburgring road course that was four seconds faster than the Camaro ZL1’s and beat published times for the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
Power comes from
the 7.0-litre LS7 engine, with dry-sump oiling, rated at a SAE-certified 505 hp and 481 lb/ft of torque. The engine will be built by hand at the new Performance Build Center within GM’s Bowling Green assem-bly plant.
A close-ratio six-speed manual trans-mission is the only
transmission offered
and power is distributed
to the rear wheels via
a Torsen limited-slip
differential featuring a
helical gear set, rather
than traditional clutch
packs, for optimal trac-
tion.
The differential
works in unison with
Chevrolet’s proprietary Performance Traction Management system, allowing drivers to adjust the level of throt-tle and braking inter-vention to match their capability and driving environment.
The Camaro Z/28 is also one of the first production cars fitted with race-proven, spool-
valve dampers, which allow four-way damp-ing control, enabling engineers to precisely tune both bump and rebound settings for high-speed and low-speed wheel motions.
The wider tuning range also allows dra-matically greater damp-er stiffness without a significant change in ride quality. Additional
chassis changes include stiffer spring and bush-ing rates for improved cornering response.
Lightweight, 19-inch forged alu-minum wheels and Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires reduce unsprung weight by 22.5 kg (49.6 pounds) per car com-pared to the 20-inch wheels standard on Camaro SS and ZL1.
