First Nations, first rights
Some of the reaction to the Kapyong Barracks decision is downright bizarre
About 274 years ago, the first white guy set foot in Winnipeg. Some of his buddies have been acting like they've owned the place ever since.
On Sept. 24, 1738, a Quebec explorer named Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, better known as La Vérendrye, got off a boat at The Forks and established Fort Rouge along the Assiniboine River. Although the fort was just a short-lived trading post, this marked the beginning of a European presence in what's now Winnipeg.
Before La Vérendrye showed up, this soggy corner of the continent had been home to one group of indigenous people or another for about 6,000 years. By the time the first European explorers and fur traders were inching their way into southern Manitoba, the Assiniboine, Cree, Dakota and Ojibwa were all established in the area.
But the first Europeans to actually see this place — and pretty much everywhere else in North America — made the mistake of assuming there were never that many people living here. That's because smallpox and other European diseases were racing across the continent, wiping out people whose immune systems were unable to fight off foreign microbes.
For example, Hudson's Bay Company records reveal Assiniboine bands lost about 50 per cent of their people every time a wave of disease hit in the 1700s and 1800s, adding up to a cumulative population loss of well above 90 per cent after European contact. By their mere presence on the continent, white guys unwittingly depopulated the place.
But since the surviving First Nations tended to be small and struggling, the first settlers also made the mistake in the 1800s of assuming the locals had never really mastered the art of living comfortably off the land.
In turn, this erroneous assumption led to the belief First Nations would benefit from a European cultural makeover: a sedentary farming existence, rather than a semi-nomadic life of hunting and fishing. And that ill-advised strategy persisted well into the 20th century in the form of the residential schools system, which sought to wipe out any remaining vestiges of indigenous culture.
The cumulative effect of all this, as most Winnipeggers are acutely aware, was nothing short of cultural genocide. Yet somehow, Manitoba's First Nations endured and are now on the cusp of finally becoming equal partners in a less overtly racist society.
But racism endures, in both the institutional and common form. The irrational reaction in some circles to the Kapyong Barracks decision only illustrates how much further this city and this province have to progress.
On Friday, a Federal Court judge ruled Ottawa has to consult with four Manitoba First Nations before it disposes of a highly desirable chunk of surplus military land in Tuxedo.
What this means is Peguis, Long Plain, Roseau River and Sandy Bay First Nations may realize their dream of gaining ownership of all or part of the former Kapyong Barracks. Such a move would go a long way toward settling outstanding treaty land-entitlement claims.
What the First Nations intend to do is develop the Kapyong land and use both short-term and ongoing profits to fund improvements in their communities. If they set up the land as an economic-development zone, businesses on the properties could also provide employment opportunities that aren't available on the First Nations themselves.
While the federal decision was hardly unexpected — Ottawa is already in the midst of negotiations — aboriginal leaders nonetheless celebrated. But the reaction of some Winnipeggers was bizarre.
The fear the First Nations will set up an "urban reserve" inside Winnipeg sparked irrational and frankly racist fears of The Rez coming to the big city, when in fact what the First Nations are proposing is not really that different from what any other developer would propose.
First Nations leaders would like to build a mix of commercial and residential buildings on the Kapyong land. Any development they proposed would have to conform with existing city zoning regulations. An aboriginal-owned condo tower would look no different from one owned by a developer of any other ethnic background. A First Nations-owned Boston Pizza outlet would offer the same menu items as one owned by another franchisee.
The First Nations may also seek to set up a special economic-development zone that could grant them special taxation powers. That is where the misleading term "urban reserve" comes in, as such zones exist as political jurisdictions unto themselves. But again, anything inside such a zone would have to conform to city zoning regulations and would look just like any other development in Winnipeg.
Most city councillors as well as Mayor Sam Katz are extremely supportive of either option — the straight-up First Nations-owned development or the economic-development zone.
Nonetheless, the mere mention of the term "urban reserve," used as media shorthand Friday, had racists among us foaming at the mouth. Most infamously, Progressive Conservative party youth president Brayden Mazurkiewich was forced to resign his volunteer position after tweeting and Facebooking about "freeloading Indians" setting up on the land and possibly selling "smokes."
Other young Tories, it must be noted, were among the first to condemn Mazurkiewich's comments. There's no reason to believe the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba is racist.
But the mere fact a person with any form of public profile would not think twice about displaying such ignorance suggests we could all better acquaint ourselves with First Nations issues.
To be fair, treaty rights are poorly understood by many non-aboriginals. The treaty land-entitlement process, a legal means of compensating First Nations located in highly developed areas with land located outside their borders, can strike the uninitiated as counterintuitive or even generous. But this is not just a means of righting a historical wrong: It could provide First Nations with an economic leg up.
Unfortunately, there are Winnipeggers who don't care about history and take offence to any suggestion Canadians have harmed the nation's original occupants. To them, any reminder is just another guilt trip.
This is unfortunate. Unless you are First Nations, Métis or Inuit, you are a relative newcomer to this place. It doesn't matter whether you stepped off a flight from Frankfurt yesterday or are descended from one of the Selkirk settlers who travelled over from Scotland in 1812.
To recap, Europeans came to this continent and unintentionally wiped out more than 90 per cent of the population. They then quite intentionally declared war on some of those who remained and confined the rest to plots of land where traditional indigenous economic strategies no longer made any sense.
Non-aboriginals then parcelled up the rest of the land, took it for their own and radically altered it. Finally, they spent more than a century trying to assimilate any indigenous people who somehow survived all the earlier unpleasantness.
After all that, Canada came to its senses and devised a legal mechanism that might, in Winnipeg, allow four First Nations to take ownership of 65 hectares of desirable real estate.
If that's way too generous, then you and I have very different ideas about what constitutes generosity.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley appears every second Wednesday on Citytv's Breakfast Television. His work has also appeared on CBC Radio and in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Oct. 24 pancake fund-raiser to help Janesville kidney transplant recipient
From press release
Janesville, Wis.—Dan Chesmore has a new appreciation for life. After suffering from kidney disease for many years, his uncle Rodney "Butchy" Chesmore donated one of his own kidneys to save his nephew's life in February. The transplant was very costly, and he continues to face overwhelming expenses. Friends and family are planning a pancake fund-raiser to help.
Chesmore, 42, was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) when he was 16. The disease progressed over time, and he was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease in July 2009.
A kidney transplant costs approximately $250,000. Even with health insurance, Chesmore faces significant medical expenses. For the rest of his life, he will need follow-up care and daily anti-rejection medications. The medications can cost as much as $5,000 per month, and they are as critical to his survival as the transplant itself.
He was forced to take time off work while enduring regular dialysis treatments prior to his transplant, adding to his financial strain.
To overcome these financial challenges, Chesmore and his family turned to the National Foundation for Transplants (NFT) for assistance. NFT is a nonprofit organization that helps transplant patients raise funds to pay for transplant-related expenses.
"We're thrilled Dan received a second chance at life," said Claire Prince, NFT fund-raising consultant, "but he still faces lifelong financial obstacles. Many people don't realize the long-term financial challenges these patients encounter. At NFT, we're helping Dan and his volunteers fund-raise so he can embrace his new life without having to worry about how to afford his medicine and follow-up care."
Friends and family are planning a flapjack fund-raiser from 8 to 10 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 24, at Applebee's, 3024 Milton Ave., in Janesville, Wis. Admission is $6 per person, and proceeds will be used to help Chesmore with his transplant expenses. Tickets can be purchased beforehand or at the event, and the general public is welcome to attend.
For more information, contact Gail Chesmore at (608) 289-6536 or email@example.com.
To make a donation in honor of Chesmore, mail a tax-deductible gift to the NFT Wisconsin Kidney Fund, 5350 Poplar Ave., Suite 430, Memphis, TN 38119. Be sure to write "in honor of Dan Chesmore" in the memo line. Secure donations also can be made online at transplants.org. Donors should click on "Patients We Help" to locate Chesmore.
National Foundation for Transplants
NFT is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Memphis, Tenn., that has been helping transplant patients overcome financial obstacles since 1983. NFT provides fund-raising expertise and advocacy to transplant patients by organizing fund-raising campaigns in the patients' own communities. In the past 27 years, NFT has helped generate nearly $60 million to assist patients with their expenses.
NFT assists more than 1,000 transplant candidates and recipients nationwide. For more information about NFT, call 800-489-3863 or visit transplants.org.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1960 Rambler Super
Finding an original, low-mileage collector car can be a challenge, as many ads that include terms like "survivor" also include phrases like "single repaint" or "period-correct engine." This 1960 Rambler Super for sale on Hemmings.com may be an exception to the rule: Showing just 21,500 miles on the odometer, the car comes with a detailed ownership history and is said to have been previously owned by the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Aside from maintenance items like the battery and oil filter, the car is also said to be original down to its 53-year-old General Electric headlamps, making it a likely preservation-class winner in any AMC or Rambler show. From the seller's description:
This incredible 1960 AMC Rambler Super 4door Sedan is a 100 percent original car. It is completely unrestored and has just 21,500 actual miles. It was recently purchased from the AACA Museum (Antique Automobile Club of America) where it was a winner of the Preservation Class. It is fully documented with every piece of ownership history you would want. Ownership history, original invoice, owner's manual and much more. A true piece of American history that is rarely seen today…
The car is amazing. This completely original car still retains its original tires, which are still in great shape. The engine is immaculate and runs perfectly. The interior is virtually brand new. The gauges are crystal clear and everything works as it should. Seating is flawless. The famed Rambler feature of fold-down seats that turn into a bed were optional on this car, but the owner chose to have them as if they knew that one day, they would need to fold down the seats and sleep in the car. They still work perfectly. Weather Eye heating, signals, lights and all gauges work as well. The car was ordered as a Radio Delete car. The fake dials look like new.
The paint is 54 years old and looks incredible. it still has a nice luster throughout. The trunk shows a slight fade from its years in the sun, but you have to really look to see it. The gas cap shows some paint fade as well, probably due to spillage (see photo). That is it! Chrome and trim are excellent, with no pitting and absolutely no rust Anywhere! The original GE headlights are still in place and work.
The engine is the original matching numbers 195.6ci 6-cylinder engine. The engine numbers are shown in the photos. All decals are in place. The VIN plate and Trim Tag are also shown in the photos and still look brand new. Every single thing is original, with the exception of maintenance items such as oil, filters, etc… Like the rest of the car, the undercarriage is completely untouched. Only original wear and tear exists. As of today, there are absolutely no leaks of any kind.

Who invented cash for clunkers? Would you believe AMC?
Photo by gab482.
Car companies will do just about anything to move cars in that doldrums period that starts just after the New Year and lasts until the onset of warmer weather. Witness the many and various spring specials, mid-year introductions, and other gimmicks over the decades. American Motors was no stranger to those tactics, but in the early 1960s it tried to move the metal with another scheme, one that today we'd call "cash for clunkers."
In early 1962, American Motors dealers apparently had far more inventory on their lots than Kenosha cared for. While sales were up over the dismal year before, George Romney had ordered a hike in production capacity so as not to be caught flat-footed against increased competition in the compact car arena. In addition, American Motors had the redesigned Rambler Classic and Rambler Ambassador in the pipeline for 1963, and company executives were tiring of the company's dowdy image in the marketplace.
Contributing to that image, the executives apparently believed, were the legions of old and tired used cars that Rambler dealers took in on trade and left on their lots. Scrapping the cars tended not to make financial sense to the dealers, but American Motors wanted them selling new cars instead of used, so AMC came up with an incentive for its dealers, the Used Car Junking Plan.
Effective from February 1 through April 30 that year, AMC agreed to pay its dealers $25 for every car that the dealers took in on partial trade for a new Rambler and then subsequently junked "to the satisfaction of the District Manager." The dealer would also get $25 from a kitty funded essentially by the dealers themselves that came from an extra invoice of $5 per new Rambler delivered to the dealerships. So, in essence, the dealers had to sell five new cars to take advantage of every clunker they received in trade.
Used Car Junking Plan letter scans courtesy Eddie Stakes.
As AMC's V.E. Boyd, vice president of automotive sales, put it in his letter outlining the program to dealers, the dealers got to keep whatever cash they got selling the used cars to their local junkyard, so the $50 from AMC was meant to serve as a prod to the dealers who might consider those used cars still good enough to sell on their backlots.
We believe this Plan will materially assist you during the late winter and early spring season to liquidate certain undesirable used cars which are of too poor quality to sell, either wholesale or retail, and yet which you normally feel are too good to junk. With the sale of the junker to the junkyard for an additional $15.00 to $25.00, the amount varying in different localities, this will give you a total return of $65.00 to $75.00 for such units.
It also offers many other advantages. These units usually create an unsightly appearance on your lot and detract importantly from the selling appearance of your later model used cars. The cost of keeping these units in running condition is usually greater than later model cars because of frequent battery recharges or replacements, tire repairs, and various other conditions which increase your maintenance cost while the car is in your possession. They also take up just as much room as a $1,500 unit.
Not to mention – which Boyd didn't – that the used cars traded in on new Ramblers likely were cars that the competition built.
How many dealers took advantage of the plan and how many clunkers they scrapped as a result we've yet to find out. Rambler sales did increase for 1962 and 1963, however – from less than 370,000 in 1961 to 442,000 in 1962 and 453,000 in 1963 – so, perhaps it did contribute in some way to keeping Rambler afloat and competitive in those years.

Despite the fact that AMC built its final four-wheel-drive Eagle model in 1988, the cars remain the stuff of legend, particularly among those living in snowbelt states where winter can be a six- or seven-month fact of life. Among Eagle variants, however, none is rarer than the Series 50 Kammback, a car that combined the off-road capability of a Jeep with the body of an AMC Gremlin.
American Motors introduced its Eagle four-wheel-drive passenger car lineup for the 1980 model year, and with the AMC Concord-based models it sought to bridge the lineup between the automaker's cars and its Jeep utility vehicles. A four-wheel-drive sedan or compact wagon, AMC rationalized, would give customers living in harsher climates additional peace of mind in inclement weather, without forcing them into fuel-thirsty vehicles designed for more rugged off-road excursions. Few automakers built comparable models, especially at the Eagle's intended price point, and first-year sales of 34,041 units were promising.
The Kammback was aimed at commercial customer and first time buyers.
For the model's sophomore year, AMC rationalized that a compact Eagle model, aimed at both first-time buyers and fleet sales, would fill a niche that the manufacturer wasn't yet covering. Turning to its shorter, 97.2-inch wheelbase Spirit models, AMC added the same full-time four-wheel-drive system found on larger Eagle models and introduced its Series 50 Eagle in two body styles: the sleeker SX/4 liftback and the more squared-off Kammback.
Though "stylish" and even "sexy" were words used to describe the SX/4′s lines, the adjective that best fit the Kammback was "quirky." From the rear, it looked very much like a Gremlin, albeit one with larger rear windows. Up front, it shared a more contemporary egg crate grille and quad-headlamp setup, but there was no mistaking that the car was built to sell at a specific price point, and to a very specific audience. In fact, AMC had two types of customers in mind with the Series 50 Kammback: first time buyers and fleet customers who needed to get employees and light cargo to off-the-beaten-track locations in all kinds of weather. Priced from just $5,995, the Kammback was $725 less than the SX/4, and $1,332 less than its least expensive (but considerably larger) Eagle Series 30 model. Even the Series 30′s range-topping "Limited" trim was unavailable on Kammback (or SX/4) models; instead, high-end buyers had to be happy with the less luxurious DL package.
The Kammback's interior was functional, though not luxurious.
The base engine in the Series 50 Kammback was GM's 151-cu.in. "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, and the standard transmission was a four-speed manual (though a three-speed automatic was also offered in the car's first year). While relatively fuel efficient, the four-cylinder's 82 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque hardly made the Kammback a choice for enthusiast drivers, so to add more go, AMC offered its 258-cu.in. inline-six as a $136 option. This raised output to 100 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque, which was, at least, a step in the right direction.
For the 1982 model year, AMC offered the Kammback (and other Eagle models) with an optional five-speed manual transmission in an effort to increase its CAFE numbers. Another improvement across the entire Eagle range was the addition of Select Drive four-wheel drive, which allowed drivers to choose from fuel-efficient rear-wheel drive or traction-enhancing four-wheel drive with the flip of a dashboard-mounted switch. The (minor) drawback to the system was that on-the-fly operation was not possible; prior to engaging four-wheel drive, the vehicle had to first be stopped. On the plus side, no manual locking of front hubs on muddy or slushy roads was required.
With rear seats folded, the Kammback provided a reasonable amount of cargo space.
During the car's first year on the market, the Kammback sold 5,603 examples, more than the Eagle Series 30 two and four-door sedans combined. It was a hopeful start for the Kammback, but sales evaporated in the car's second year, when a mere 502 examples were produced. AMC was forced to trim models from its lineup as it geared up the Kenosha, Wisconsin, plant to assemble the Renault Alliance, and the Kammback simply didn't have the sales numbers to further prolong its existence.
The Kammback (and, ultimately, the Gremlin profile) was killed off after the 1982 model year, but the SX/4 remained in production for another year, selling just 2,259 examples in 1983. In many ways, these models (along with the other Eagle variants) predicted that consumers would embrace a vehicle with the comfort of an automobile, but the ride height and foul-weather capabilities of a four-wheel-drive utility vehicle. While today's front-wheel-drive-centric "cute utes" may bear little visual similarity to the Series 50 Eagles, conceptually the two aren't that far apart.
Ronnie Kaplan, a driving force behind AMC's Trans-Am efforts, dead at age 87

In 1967, automaker AMC found itself with both a desire to go racing and a new car, the Javelin, which fit within the definitions of the SCCA's fledgling Trans-Am series. The man tasked with turning the Javelin into a competitive race car was Ronnie Kaplan, who'd mastered his craft setting up Indy Cars, Corvettes and even Scarab sports racers. On March 1, Ronnie Kaplan died at the age of 87.
It was Bob Tullius who first suggested that AMC enter the Trans-Am series, and Tullius who helped to get the proposal approved with AMC management. When it came time to pick a partner to develop AMC's factory racing efforts, however, the job fell to Ronnie Kaplan Engineering. Kaplan, a Chicago-area wrench who had served with the Coast Guard during World War II, had previously prepared promoter Jim Jeffords's race cars – Corvettes and Scarabs alike – and, according to Jim Alexander, it was Jeffords's connection with Roy Chapin (then the CEO of AMC) and Brooks Stevens that led AMC to choose Kaplan.
Kaplan had previously enjoyed support from the likes of General Motors, which gave him access to high-tech resources (such as a wind tunnel) for race car development. AMC lacked such resources, forcing Kaplan to get creative in his efforts. As Kaplan's friend Ray Larson recounted to Hemmings, his workaround was to "borrow" the wind tunnel at Modine Radiator, then decrease the Javelin's front tire pressure to drop the nose. At set tire pressure intervals, until the tires were completely flat, Kaplan would measure the amount of force necessary to keep the car in place, recording data such as front bumper height and nose droop. Through trial and error, Kaplan eventually arrived at the stance needed to make the Javelins race-ready.

Race-ready is not the same thing as competitive, and the Javelins proved no match for the Chevrolet Camaros in the 1968 Trans-Am season. At a time when rules were often open to creative interpretation, Kaplan (initially) followed them to the letter, and the fact that the Javelin was very nearly able to challenge the Ford Mustang for second place in the 1968 manufacturer's championship was a testament to Kaplan's efforts and abilities. The car's distinctive red, white, and blue livery (for driver Peter Revson; George Follmer's Javelin was blue, white, and red to distinguish it) soon became a fan favorite, helping to put AMC's Javelin on the map for pony car shoppers (though the red, white, and blue painted Trans-Am Javelin tribute cars proved to be a tough sell for dealers).
For 1969, Kaplan experimented with lightening the cars and adding more power, occasionally bending the rules as needed, but the team found itself losing ground to both Ford and Pontiac. AMC's management demanded change, so for the 1970 season the factory-backed effort was taken over by Roger Penske and driver Mark Donohue. The wins began to come by mid-season, and in 1971 AMC finally realized the Trans-Am manufacturer's championship it had long been seeking. This may have come under the stewardship of Penske Racing, but it was Ronnie Kaplan who laid the groundwork necessary to turn the Javelin into a winning car.
According to his obituary, Kaplan was one of the last surviving crew members that helped Jim Rathmann win the 1960 Indianapolis 500. He will be buried Tuesday in Park Ridge, Illinois.
Toys full of hot air
Eddie Stakes is still playing with old toys. While the last toy AMX he showed us had photovoltaic cells atop the roof that apparently were used to guide the battery-powered car around, the latest two use pneumatic steering controls. Eddie explains:
Eldon AMC AMX 69-70 steerable air car. Battery powered, had 'pneumatic' steering, that is, a small hand-held bellows that would turn wheels right or left. If you got good at it, you could steer it straight ahead, but it took some practice. The license plate read 1970, BUT it was a '69 AMX. Eldon toys rocked, and this was no different. A battery in this could last a whole day! It was like walking the dog, except it was an AMX. The photos here are of a NOS unit I have, and have a used one in collection, both from 1969. I am guessing that Eldon used a 1970 license plate on them thinking AMC would not change design on the two seater for 1970.
COX AMC Matador Stocker (NASCAR) Gasoline powered! Yes, runs on real gas. These big COX AMC Matador Stockers not only ran on real gasoline (back when it was 29 cents a gallon, but also had pneumatic steering, real rubber tires. Patterned off the successes of American Motors efforts in NASCAR (Team Penske) these wore red, white and blue paint. The two here, one is NOS, the other used, both from my collection. They made a pppfffffffttttt sound and the LONG steering wheel tube used to get in the way, but as you walked along with the car, you were driving a REAL GAS-powered car. As a kid. These could really scoot along at a good clip, I may add. Dad never realized the gas came from our '62 Rambler wagon anyways, hee hee.
Thanks, Eddie!
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1965 Rambler American 440 convertible
It won't win any concours awards, but then again, few people own an American Motors product to go clean up at the concours events. Instead, this 1965 Rambler American 440 convertible for sale on Hemmings.com appears to be a solid driver with a recent mechanical refurbishment and tuneup. A little detailing would do it wonders, but so would keeping it running and on the road. From the seller's description:
This car features the straight 6 engine with an automatic transmission with a posi rear end. Some of the car's features include: power steering, power brakes, pushbutton AM radio, factory vanity mirror, and an operational power convertible top. I have had this car gone over from bumper to bumper. It has many new parts like five new tires, alignment, current PA state inspection, muffler, brakes including wheel cylinders and master cylinder, brake hoses and brake booster, current tune-up with electronic ignition conversion kit, carburetor rebuilt, and a new fuel filter was installed. All fluids have been recently changed. This car runs and drives perfectly. I can't believe how well this car rides for being a 1965. Overall condition of the body is good, there are some scratches and there is some paint bubble around the rear wheels. The rear bumper does have some rust on it, and the back rest of the passenger side seat has a small tear in it. Otherwise, this car is absolutely wonderful.

Behold! The power of the sun!
Eddie Stakes has been cleaning out his toy closets lately, and came up with this little gem, an AMX – naturally – but one with a nifty trick up its sleeve:
Kenner Light Beam Solar Powered AMX. Like AMC, way ahead of its time, these came out in 1969 and were solar powered with two small solar cells on the top of the car! There was also a Dodge Charger. But the little AMX, battery powered, would move when you shined the flashlight (which came in the box) on the roof of the car! Pretty amazingly little car, 1:20th scale, about a foot long. High degree of difficulty to find used or new, not sure Kenner still even in toy business. Some of these came with a 1970 ram air hood, not sure how or why that happened, but makes them more rare than the ones with 69 hoods. The rear license plate also reads 1969. My dad brought home 2 of these from the AMC Dealership he was working at in 1969. I still have them.
Anybody else play with one of these as a kid?
So the French loved the AMC Pacer…
Or so we learned from Vince Geraci's interview for "The Unfortunate History of the AMC Pacer," a 25-minute documentary from Joe Ligo of AutoMoments that explores the life and times of AMC's "small, but wide" Seventies sensation.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1983 AMC Eagle
This 1983 AMC Eagle for sale on Hemmings.com appears to have had plenty of work done on it over the last several years to make it a reliable daily driver and to address some of the more common Eagle weak points – notably the emissions controls and the plastic rocker arm cover. Unlike most Eagles, the interior doesn't appear to be roached out, and it even still has its bumper end caps. It may not be the most original or showworthy Eagle out there, but it does appear ready to rock as a daily driver. From the seller's description:
I bought this car two years ago, after it sat for nine years, from the original owner. Immediately, I replaced the headliner, sun visors (the rest of the interior is in excellent shape, except the carpet is faded). Also replaced – front axles, shocks, tires, water pump, all belts and hoses and filters. I replaced the plastic valve cover with an aluminum one – no more leaks. The heater core was replaced. The transmission was rebuilt. The car has a new exhaust and muffler. Everything on the car works, including the AC and 4WD. My mechanic removed all the emission controls and replaced the carburetor with one from a '76 Jeep then installed an HEI distributor. The car rides nice and tight. The paint is ok from 20 feet – maybe 30. It is all original paint and the wheels are the only nasty part, but they could be repainted or replaced. I am sorry to sell it, but I have one project in process and another old car I use for shows. This was my daily driver for a while. I have three times what I am asking invested in it.

Lost Cars of the 1980s – Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler SL Sport. Photos courtesy Jeep Heritage.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, compact Japanese pickups saw a surge in popularity among U.S. buyers. Ford was well-positioned to respond to this trend, as it had been selling Mazda compact pickups under the Ford Courier name since 1971. Chevrolet also had a response, in the form of the Isuzu-built Chevrolet LUV (for Light Utility Vehicle), which the bowtie-brand had been marketing since 1972. Even Plymouth had a captive import pickup of its own, the Mitsubishi Forte, sold here as the Plymouth Arrow pickup from 1979 until 1982. Jeep, then under the umbrella of American Motors, had nothing to offer in this growing segment of the market, at least until the 1981 introduction of the CJ-8 Scrambler compact pickup.
In planning a compact pickup offering, Jeep initially explored the idea of using unibody construction to save weight and boost fuel economy. However, this was deemed too costly for the division to engineer and build, particularly when the existing Jeep CJ-7 could easily be modified to produce a compact pickup. As an added bonus, the CJ-7′s body-on-ladder-frame design could enhance the capabilities of such a mini-pickup, albeit at the expense of a few miles per gallon in EPA fuel economy ratings.
While the Jeep CJ-7 rode on a 94-inch wheelbase and had an overall length of 153.2 inches, the two-seat Scrambler used a 103.5-inch wheelbase and measured 177.3 inches from bumper to bumper. Its larger size made the Scrambler a bit heavier than the CJ-7, but the difference was a mere 130 pounds. One area where the Scrambler failed to measure up to the competition was in bed length; while many rivals offered a six-foot bed, the Scrambler's cargo area measured 61.5 inches, or slightly more than five feet.
Engines were shared with the CJ-7 as well. Base Scrambler models received the 151-cu.in. four-cylinder, rated at 82 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque, but returning an acceptable 23 MPG (28 MPG highway) according to the EPA. Those wanting more horsepower could opt for the 258-cu.in. inline six-cylinder, which produced 110 horsepower (later reduced to 102 horsepower) and 205 pound-feet of torque (later lowered to 204 pound-feet), but only delivered an EPA-estimated 18 MPG (27 MPG highway). In 1981, buyers could also opt for the 304-cu.in. V-8, although it isn't clear if any first-year Scrambler models were assembled in this configuration. Checking the option box would have delivered a Scrambler with 150 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque, but this engine was eliminated from the Scrambler's list of options for the 1982 model year.

First year Scrambler models came only with a four-speed manual transmission, but a five-speed manual with overdrive became an available option in 1982. A three-speed automatic transmission became an available option on six-cylinder models, though most were built with manual transmissions in the early part of the truck's production run. All were equipped with part-time four-wheel drive, which relied on a transfer case and manual locking front hubs. For maximum grip regardless of road surface, a Trac-Loc rear differential was an available option.
To keep retail pricing to a minimum, the least expensive Scrambler model came in roadster form, sans top, although better-equipped models gave buyers a choice of soft or hard tops (similar to the CJ-7). Optional accessories included a soft top with steel doors, a soft top with cloth doors, and a hard top with steel doors. One soft top variant, created for the U.S. Postal Service, used steel doors and covered both cab and bed, providing all-weather protection for cargo. Another variant, built for the U.S. Postal Service in Alaska, included a steel body to cover the bed; similar designs were sold in the Australian market in both van (sans windows) and wagon (with windows) body styles.
1982 Jeep Scrambler SR Sport.
Had American Motors initially marketed the Scrambler as a compact pickup truck with real off-road capability, the truck may well have been a sales success. Instead, the brand pitched the CJ-8 as a "sporty" and "versatile" Jeep with reasonable fuel economy, at least in four-cylinder trim. Shoppers largely ignored the Scrambler, viewing it as little more than a disproportionate CJ-7, and sales never really took off. For the 1981 model year, Jeep built 7,480 CJ-8s, but this fell to 7,138 for 1982; 4,678 for 1983; 2,826 for 1984; and 2,015 for 1985. Though some count 1986 as a model year for the Scrambler, any sales were of unsold 1985 production, and Jeep officially dropped the vehicle from its 1986 lineup.
Lack of a two-wheel drive version, at a lower price point, also negatively impacted Scrambler sales. While priced competitively (starting at $7,288) with four-wheel drive import pickups, the Scrambler was considerably more expensive than rear-drive compact pickups of the day. Today, the Scrambler's limited production makes the truck highly collectible, something Jeep dealers in the mid-1980s never could have envisioned.

How USA Network is using social to redefine TV syndication
Modern Family just launched in syndication on USA Network, a big win for the network that's not usually known for its comedy. If you've never seen Modern Family, or heard of the hit show you might not even know it's only a syndication launch with the network's smart, social-TV savvy launch strategy. Here are the details from the network:
An entire social community" for their newest fans called Mofy Nation (Make Our Family Yours) , which has an active presence across social media.
Modern Family Sync – every episode has a sync for fans to access as they watch. It has fun facts, bts info, images and will include writer commentary. This is available both on USA's core property and Shazam, Viggle, zeebox and NextGuide via the USA Sync syndication platform which is powered by Watchwith.
Sunday night is the pièce de résistance for fans. From 9pm to 11pm, viewers can play Modern Family Live – which is powered by iPowow (here's what it looks like). They can participate in multiple polls and quizzes as they watch with some of the voting appearing on-air during each episode. At the end of the night USA will post a leaderboard touting the top five registered players.
USA is once again setting precedents for what's possible with syndication and social media.
- Networks Opt Out of Obama's Speech Because It's #TGIT
- Dish Customers React to Potential CBS Blackout
- If You're Tweeting About Primetime Fall TV, the Show is Probably on ABC
- Wallenda Stunt Rivals 'Shark Week' on Discovery Channel

Celebrity Cruises' new cruiseliner, Celebrity Reflection, has been equipped with an extensive range of navigation, automation and entertainment systems from SAM Electronics and its associate L-3 companies. Built by Meyer Werft in Germany at a reported cost of $750m, the 315m 126,000-gt vessel was formally named in Miami last December.
Bridge equipment includes a SAM NACOS 65-5 integrated navigation command assembly comprising five S and X-band radars serially linked to a similar number of Multipilot 1100 workstations for combined display of ARPA radar, Ecdis and conning functions as well as integrated operation of automatic steering control. Additonal workstations are also installed on both starboard and port wing areas together with Chartpilot 1100 Ecdis and voyage planning units and secondary display facilities. Supported by an integral 4350 VDR, all other subsidiary navaids such as DGPS, doppler log, echosounders and wind sensors, are directly connected to the Multipilot stations for operational purposes.
Control of Celebrity Reflection's machinery, air-conditioning and emergency shutdown requirements is provided by an L-3 Valmarine Integrated Automation System (IAS) featuring multiple levels of security through superior redundancy. It is capable of processing approximately 16,000 control and monitoring signals of which around 9,500 are hard-wired, with the remainder fed from serial lines. The operator interface consists of five multifunction workstations variously sited in the engine control room, on the bridge and in a designated safety center. There are also connection points for laptop PCs in machinery spaces and air-handling unit rooms while the emergency shutdown facility operates independently via an interface to the IAS communications network.
Other installed equipment includes a wide range of sophisticated audio and video entertainment facilities from L-3 FUNA International. AV systems include internal and external lighting control and PA networks, hospital and safety call equipment and dedicated sound-powered telephone and talk-back amenities.
One of the largest cruise ships to have been launched in Germany, Celebrity Reflection is the last of a series of five Solstice-class vessels built by Meyer Werft for Celebrity Cruises. All have been extensively fitted with comparable SAM Electronics navigation, automation and associated systems.

OSU's starting big men — center Philip Jurick and Kamari Murphy — were limited to six and three minutes, respectively, in the first half Saturday, due to foul trouble. Marcus Smart picked up his second and third fouls less than two minutes into the second half.
Oklahoma State basketball: Cowboys crippled by foul woes
And the No. 22 Cowboys never seemed to be themselves, falling 73-67 at Kansas State.
"That really hurt us, because Philip's our one physical presence," said OSU coach Travis Ford. "He can guard people one-on-one. And when Marcus got his third, it wasn't good. I thought it took our aggressiveness away a little, especially his, and that's what he excels on.
"I don't want to make any excuses, but that foul trouble took a little of our energy away and created a little hesitation."
Maybe the game's start should have served a warning, as Murphy was called for his first four fouls two seconds in.
"I got in early foul trouble — since the tipoff," Murphy said. "Just watching from the bench is always frustrating. As a freshman, I go through certain things that all freshmen go through. It's up to me to get through it."
Wildcats guard Rodney McGruder entered as his team's leading scorer (13.7 points per game) and a noted clutch player through the course of four seasons.
So he shouldn't have been a mystery for the Cowboys.
Maybe a 1-for-6 first half of shooting took him off the radar, but McGruder did his thing and more over the final 20 minutes, scoring 26 of his game-high 28 points.
"We lost him," Smart said. "Our defensive matchups got lost. We switched a lot of screens and he just found open spots and knocked down some shots."

76ers want helipad, big signs at Camden facility
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) -- The Philadelphia 76ers are planning to install a helipad and two large signs on the practice facility and offices the team is planning to build in Camden.
The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill reports ( http://on.cpsj.com/1oKXCwB ) the developer for the waterfront site has included the details in an application to the city's planning board, which is scheduled to consider the team's designs on Monday.
In June, New Jersey approved $82 million in tax breaks over 10 years to move the 76ers' headquarters and 250 jobs from Philadelphia.
The team would still play its games in Philadelphia.
The preliminary plans submitted to local officials call for a 4,000-square-foot sign with letters up to 9 feet high on the 3-story office building and a 1,000-square-foot sign on the practice building.

I ordered a pair of glass bookends in March. They arrived with chips out of them so I got a returns slip from BrandAlley and sent them back on 2nd April. It is now almost August and despite several emails to them I cannot get a refund, in fact I cannot even get a reply to any of my emails.
These were not an expensive item, it is the principle that matters.
Do not buy from Brand Alley unless you are prepared to lose your money should the goods be damaged or unsuitable for you.
