GUILTY PLEAS IN 2011 MURDER

Two men have pleaded guilty to reduced charges in relation to a gang-related 2011 murder in a downtown Kamloops schoolyard. Travis Johnny and Anthony Scotchman entered guilty pleas in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday. Both had been charged with one count each of first-degree murder and commission of an offence for a criminal orga-

nization — alleged to be the Redd Alert street gang — stemming from the March 22, 2011, slaying of Archie Lepretre. In exchange for the guilty pleas, the Crown dropped the

criminal-organization charges. Johnny, 26, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which carries an automatic sentence of life in prison, while Scotchman, 28, admitted to manslaughter. Lepretre, 23, was playing basketball in the Stuart Wood elementary schoolyard with his cousin when he was attacked by three masked assailants wielding knives and a baseball bat, police said at the time.

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau has launched a new Liberal era with a 30-member cabinet that features predominantly fresh faces, an equal number of men and women and probably the most diverse lineup of ministers in Canadian history. The newly minted prime minister emerged yesterday from the formal swearing-in ceremony boasting that he has put together a cabinet “that looks like Canada.’’ Fully 18 of the newly minted ministers are rookies who won election for the first time on Oct. 19, including the all-important finance minister, millionaire Toronto businessman Bill Morneau. The cabinet includes two aboriginal ministers, two disabled ministers, one openly gay minister, a refugee from Afghanistan and four Sikhs — one of whom was once wrongly accused of terrorism, tortured and detained without trial for almost two years in India. From the moment Trudeau and his team arrived by bus at Rideau Hall and walked together up the long, tree-lined driveway to the Governor General’s mansion, the swearing-in event was designed to convey openness, optimism and inclusion — a stark contrast to nearly a decade of what the Liberals call the one-man, secretive rule and politics of division of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. Even the weather seemed to co-operate, the brilliant, warm autumn day underscoring Trudeau’s vaunted “sunny ways’’ approach to politics. “We’re a government that wants to earn Canadians’ trust by demonstrating that we trust Canadians,’’ Trudeau said. “Openness and transparency’’ will be a hallmark of his government, he insisted, with the media allowed to hold government to account, MPs empowered to be powerful voices for their communities and public policy based on evidence, not partisanship.

Mounties held a press conference at which they labelled the murder gang-related, saying it had been the result of a conflict between members of rival criminal organizations. “Police have established that Archie Lepretre and his cousin were victims of a focused, targeted, gang-related attack,” Kamloops RCMP Staff

Sgt. Grant Learned said at the time. “The suspects are believed to be from a known rival gang.” Lepretre’s family, however, said he was not involved with a gang. A Vancouver resident, Lepretre was in Kamloops visiting family when he was killed. Johnny was arrested and charged in December 2013. Scotchman wasn’t arrested until April 2014. Johnny is slated to return to court on March 10 to find out how long he will serve behind bars before becoming eligible for parole.

Surprises lead to rise in costs ANDREA KLASSEN

Surprise roof asbestos and a failing heating and ventilation system in a former car dealership are being blamed for two City of Kamloops over-budget capital projects. According to a report that went to council on Tuesday, the city is five per cent under budget on its $34-million slate of capital projects for the year, which includes roadworks and building renovations. Of the 39 projects undertaken this year or slated for completion in early 2016, only seven were over budget. Capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell told council one project, the demolition of the McArthur Island Youth Centre, which went over its $400,000 budget by $100,000, was the case of a consulting error. “Asbestos was missed in the roof tiles — picked up in the walls and everywhere else, but missed in the roof tiles,” he said. Dealing with the tiles added to the cost of the project. In the case of the North Shore community policing office, which the city is building in the former Kamloops Kia dealership, CAO David Trawin said complications

Morning commuters on Overlanders Bridge were greeted by city staff Tuesday — Darren Crundell (left), Glen Farrow and Colleen Lepik — thanking them for their patience during the six-month resurfacing project. The $10.3-million job finished $300,000 under budget.

including a failing HVAC system have led to projected cost overruns of up to $310,000, which could push the original $490,000 budget for the renovation as high as $800,000. Trawin said the city hopes to find a solution to the issues that will cost less than what is listed in the report, Council will be presented with options later this winter. Other large projects for the year came in under budget, including road work on Columbia Street and Overlanders Bridge.

Overall, the city spent $1.8 million less than it had planned, using $32 million of the $34 million budgeted for capital works. Coun. Ken Christian said the report showed that council should spend less time “jumping all over each other” when projects that have gone over budget come to the table. “It gives the impression in the community we don’t know what we are doing,” he said. Money saved from the projects will go back to departments from where it originated.

PAC numbers: Reality or crystal ball? ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Megan O’Riordan and her neighbour attended yesterday’s city-sponsored open house on the proposed performing-arts centre planning to vote No in Saturday’s referendum. By the time they left, they had changed their minds after speaking with city staff and arts-centre advocates about how the building would be funded each year. “I was wondering how much it was going to cost us a year to have someone stand around or sweep up the floors,” O’Riodran said. Hearing the city has a budget for operations and plans to have a nonprofit society run the centre eased her mind. But, many other residents who dropped in during the lunchtime session at Sandman Centre told KTW they are deeply skeptical of the project. Brocklehurst resident Michael Jackman said he would rather see

money spent on improving Tranquille Road, the Brock Recreation Centre and other infrastructure. “If you’ve got a house and it’s a $400,000 home and you put in a $40,000 kitchen when your roof is leaking, what kind of an idiot are you?” Jackman said. While the city has pledged the $91-million project won’t go over budget, Jackman said he watched another referendum-driven project, a recreation centre in Williams Lake, go several million dollars over budget despite a cap placed on borrowing at voting time. Bill Travis believes the $11-million in annual economic spinoffs for the centre, as stated in the city’s business case, are overblown and doesn’t feel other projects in the city, including Sandman Centre, have lived up to their promise. “It’s a crystal ball, it’s not reality,” he said. Travis also thinks the city should make a commitment up front to repeal the two one per cent tax hikes it plans to bring in to fund the centre’s

operations and construction once the city’s debt is paid off. He said staff told him it would be up to council of the day to repeal the tax increases — which he thinks means the money won’t be flowing back to homeowners. “That’s annoying,” Travis said. Darrell Collins said he’s a supporter of the arts and is married to an artist, but he feels the city is moving too fast with its current proposal and should explore cheaper options. He’s also not convinced the centre will generate the $11 million in annual economic spinoffs, noting examples staff gave (which include salaries, new productions, increased tourism dollars and other factors) did not seem like they would add up to the amount. “It’s all about the numbers with me and the numbers don’t make sense,” he said. Predictions for Saturday’s vote varied. Travis expects a No, while Jackman believes the Yes side will prevail because those in favour are more motivated to vote.

Coroner rules senior’s death a homicide DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The death of an elderly woman at Kamloops Seniors Village earlier this year has been ruled a homicide. Emily Houston, 84, died 10 days after she was pushed by another resident, falling and breaking her hip. Houston had gone into the other person’s room

to retrieve belongings. Coroner Margaret Janzen said the woman who pushed Houston had come from another area of the facility, accompanied by a caregiver, to attend a church service. Houston was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where she was diagnosed with the hip fracture, as well as a broken finger on her left hand. She was operated on the

following day and, although considered a high-risk patient, came through the surgery well. Three days later, she was diagnosed with pneumonia and, three days after that, she was diagnosed with a preexisting aneurysm that had grown in size and was leaking. Doctors decided she would not survive an operation to repair the aneurysm

and, following discussion with her family, she was moved to palliative care and died on July 15. RCMP investigated at the time and decided the resident who assaulted Houston “did not have the requisite mental capacity to support criminal charges against her,” Janzen wrote in her report. Houston’s daughter, Nancy Bradley, said the woman who

hit her mother in the chest and pushed her into a metal door frame was suffering from dementia and simply wanted to return to her former room, which had been given to Bradley’s mother. Bradley is calling on senior’s facilities across B.C. to increase staffing to prevent similar incidents. — with files from The Canadian Press

“It could have went either way. But, I think the jury saw what we saw.” William said his family has a greater sense of closure now that Gordon has been convicted. “It was a long haul, a long couple of years for our family,” he said. “Now, we can hopefully put it behind us.” Family and friends of the victim held a prayer circle outside the courtroom following the verdict.

During the trial, the jury heard evidence that Gordon lit a box of clothes on fire after having an argument with his girlfriend. He then fled the house and his roommate was unable to douse the flames or wake up William. Gordon had only been living in the house for two days prior to setting the fire. Gordon will return to court on Nov. 23 to set a date for a sentencing hearing.

Rare bear a public sensation With the help of a rare bear, the B.C. Wildlife Park is on track to smash its yearly visitor records. General manager Glenn Grant said the park had more than 86,000 visitors at the end of its third quarter and expects to see up to 104,000 people pass through its gates by year’s end, which would be a new record. Grant said warm weather in the early months of the year helped bring in the additional bodies, as did Clover the Kermode bear (above), whose new enclosure opened to the public in May. The park is also benefiting from

new tour-bus agreements that bring overnight visitors from California into the city. “Those bus tours are actually coming because of Clover and Clover’s there because of your investment in the park,” Grant told city council this week. The city contributed to the cost of building Clover’s new enclosure. With numbers and revenue up, Grant said the park plans to create a capital-reserve fund to put toward future improvements. The park is also looking at shortterm improvements at its playground and water park.

A debate over a North Shore bus stop will get another airing at Kamloops City Hall. City council decided Tuesday to reconsider its decision to not relocate a bus stop in front of the Norkam Health Clinic on Tranquille Road. The clinic wants the stop moved to make room for a loading zone in front of its front doors, but nearby businesses have objected to the loss of parking stalls on their block that would result. Coun. Marg Spina said staff at the clinic are upset they weren’t

unhappy with a decision is not the same as us making an error,” he said. However other councillors said they want to make sure everyone involved in the bus stop dispute was able to give an opinion. “There are people who feel they didn’t really have the opportunity to present their case properly,” Coun. Denis Walsh said. “We may come to the same decision again, but at least the people will feel they’ve been properly heard from.” The issue will be back for debate on Dec. 1.

able to make their case for the move on the day council decided what to do with the bus stop. Spina said they feel the conversation was “derailed” by parking and transit issues, rather than remaining focused on patient safety. The clinic’s manager had been at council at an earlier date to ask it to consider the move. Coun. Ken Christian said he doesn’t feel discussing transit and parking changes was out of line because the existing bus stop is in the spot where the loading zone would go. “Someone being UT TAKE-OBLE!

While the former boyfriend of Deanne Wheeler admitted to killing her at his apartment by strangling and beating her, he will undergo a hearing to determine if he is not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. Lawyers for the Crown and defence have agreed a hearing will be set in B.C. Supreme Court for Christopher Butler,

who has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Butler acknowledged in court he killed his former girlfriend, saying she was a demon. His guilty plea was accepted. He has since retained a lawyer. The hearing will determine whether Butler had the mental capacity to form intent to kill Wheeler. If he did not, he will come under the care of the B.C. Review Board. A date for the hearing has not been set. In August, a B.C. Supreme Court jus-

tice ordered a psychiatric report. Wheeler, 26, was slain in Butler’s Cherry Avenue apartment in North Kamloops on Dec. 30, 2014. He told police he strangled Wheeler, describing her as a demon and stating: “When it entered my apartment, I set down the coffee it had bought. We went forward into the living room. It turned around and said, ‘You will no longer call me Satan’ and its eyes went huge and black . . . I feared for my life and said, ‘Die, demon, die.’”

The number of homes sold last month, at 202, is down about five per cent from the same month in 2014. Sales in the city are up by 15 per cent through the first 10 months of the year. The median price for a single-family home in Kamloops came in at $367,000. Cyndi Crossley, president of Kamloops & District Real Estate Association, said one trend that will affect both buyers and sellers is a decline in inventory. Residential listings on MLS are nearly 10 per cent lower than a year ago. She said other markets, including Chilliwack, are experiencing the same decline in listings — a factor that can lead to increasing prices and a so-called sellers’ market. Another notable aspect for the month was

SCAMS ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY

f it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s an expression worth remembering and something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated. That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic. It should be a good thing if someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams. Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. As a result, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behaviour. Once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back. Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets. When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. Then ask to phone them back. If you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the offer is on the up and up. Most times, if it’s a bank or Canada Revenue Agency, they’ll tell you it’s a scam and you should ignore it. There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes is asking a question.

A message of real change

ustin Trudeau knows how to send a message — and he clearly told Canadians this week that things are very different now. There will be no long wait for Parliament to be recalled. He wants his government to start early next month, but that decision is not his alone to make as it will come from his cabinet. Government by cabinet is back, he told the country. First, however, Trudeau will take his message to the world stage, attending four summits in the next three weeks, including the G20 gathering in Turkey in two weeks — arguably the most important as it brings together 20 developed and developing countries and the European Union. He’ll be heading to Malta for a gathering of Commonwealth countries at the end of the month, as well as the United Nations Climate Change Conference that opens in Paris on Nov. 30. Trudeau will also be going to the Philippines for an AsiaPacific Economic Co-operation conference. In other words, Canada will have a big presence on the world stage. His cabinet is unlike any other in Canadian history. It is one that “looks like Canada,” he said, with gender parity, diversity and a lot of new faces. Asked afterward by media — in itself a new message given the disdain Trudeau’s predeces-

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL sor had for reporters — why he chose that cabinet, his answer was short and sweet: “Because it’s 2015.” You could almost imagine him adding a big, “Duh!” to that declaration. His first bill, Trudeau said, will be reducing taxes on the middle class by adding one per cent tax to what he called the one per cent of Canadians. What will he do about students graduating from postsecondary institutions saddled with debt? Change the rules so repayment isn’t required until they’re making at least $25,000 a year. That statement drew applause from the crowd on the lawn of Rideau Hall, where a very public swearing-in ceremony took place yesterday. Sometimes during his question-and-answer session, the message came in the words he chose. His government will be one of evidence-based policies. In those three words, Canadians can expect scientists

who are allowed to talk about their work. Canadians can maybe even expect research to be done because it needs to be done, not because it serves industry, as was former prime minister Stephen Harper’s viewpoint. It was good to hear Trudeau also say his government believes in access to information and answering hard questions by reporters. The day of every government word being vetted by the Prime Minister’s Office appears to also be gone. He was asked if he thought about his father when he was sworn in. Again, an answer with a message — of course he did but, sorry dad, his main thoughts were on his kids and all the other kids in Canada, thoughts of making decisions to give them a better future. For me, the biggest statement Trudeau made came at the end of it all when he simply plowed into the throng of people watching the ceremony. CBC commentators likened it to Where’s Waldo and, no doubt, his security detail was confounded, so novel was that action after the past decade of control, control and more control. This is a prime minister who is not afraid of Canadians — and it’s a welcome change. He’s starting out strongly, boldly and busily. It will be fascinating watching it all unfold. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAC(K) WE VOTED YES FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS UP THE DREAM Editor: It’s fine for those who have money to say the proposed performing-arts centre (PAC) will be the best thing since sliced bread, but I cannot afford to use what we have. What makes anyone think half this town can afford to use it? I make just above the poverty line and I work for the government. My cheques allow me to live in a tiny trailer and pay enormous pad rent. I have had to cancel some of my life insurance just to afford to get a few extra groceries. I cannot afford to go and see anything at Sandman Centre. I live in Westsyde and our pool is going to close unless we can convince the city to spend some of my tax dollars on it. The rich people who can afford to use it need to use their money and build the PAC privately. Loretta Berkelaar Kamloops

Editor: My husband and I moved from Toronto to Kamloops in 1978 with a plan to stay for five years. We stayed initially because we loved the outdoor opportunities, our jobs and the people we met. Then we stayed because the community continued to grow and offer

such a diversity of recreational opportunities. In one weekend, you could catch a Blazers’ game, hear the Kamloops Symphony, see a Western Canada Theatre show, work out at the Tournament Capital Centre or ski the next day with friends. Everything was in our backyard

DEVER MISSES MARK

Editor: Re: Nelly Dever’s comments in the Oct. 22 edition of KTW (‘Yes group gets Not Yet opponent,’): Diana Krall is from Nanaimo and would sing in a 300-seat venue, or smaller, for her hometown audience. Also, Nanaimo is not between Vancouver and Calgary or Edmonton and does not have travelling acts overnighting without playing there, as does Kamloops.

Kamloops does not now have a venue that suits them. Alice Cooper did play in Kamloops at what is now Sandman Centre. We are trying to attract people like Elton John, Rihanna and, most recently, Ringo Starr, who bypass Kamloops, but have gone to Prince George and/or Penticton. Peter Allik-Petersenn Kamloops

IMAGINE WHAT $91M COULD DO Editor: Imagine. Imagine $91-million. Imagine housing for the homeless, those living on the streets.

Imagine housing for single mothers. Imagine seniors with affordable housing. Imagine our roads repaved (with no holes

or uneven pavement). Imagine $91 million plus interest owed. Imagine! Frank Desmet Kamloops

RE: STORY: TRU EYES ENGINEERING PROGRAM AS LONG-TERM GOAL:

“Use UNBC in Prince George as an example. “Over the course of only a few years, they added both a medical school and an engineering program, both of which have been a benefit to the community in a big way.” — posted by GiddyupPG

“How about a medical school? They also forecast a need for health professionals. “How about we educate some of them locally?” — posted by Jason

Editor: I am of the opinion the City of Kamloops is not telling the whole story about financing of the proposed performing-arts centre. The money from the gas tax and gambling rebates is already being spent as part of the city budget, yet there are no guarantees these funds will continue. How are these funds going to be replaced in the city’s budget if we divert them to paying the interest on the $49-million PAC loan? The money from the parking meters is also committed. We have put off repairs to Westsyde pool and the Tournament Capital Centre and the city is proposing to divert $3.5 million from the operating budget. The $3.5 million is the equivalent to 3.5 per cent of property-tax revenue. That money will have to come from somewhere — and that somewhere is the pockets of city taxpayers. Don Porter Kamloops

PERFORMING-ARTS CENTRE WILL GROW CITY’S POTENTIAL Editor: Please, Kamloopsians, make an informed decision on the performing-arts centre referendum. I am confident that, if you read the factual information on the City of Kamloops website that has been carefully researched, you will see that voting yes will allow our city to

grow the potential it is already showing. Besides the fact grants are already in place to cover a large amount of the project’s cost, those who work in the arts know the impact access to the arts has on our young people. They know it means contributing to and investing in the well-being of each student

who walks through the doors — whether to watch a professional, live production or to partake in educational classes. Watching the countless children walk through the doors who go from shy, quiet and unsure, to confident, happy and well-spoken individuals solidifies the importance of the arts in our community.

But, as successful as arts-education classes are in Kamloops, we currently don’t even have the space to conduct them — and that is a problem. For example, most of Western Canada Theatre’s classes are held at rented spaces around the community. We have far outgrown the facilities we do have and we

LET 1% PAY BILL Editor: By asking taxpayers to borrow $49 million, city council forget to mention we already carry $100 million in debt that costs 8.4 per cent per year. Another $49 million would raise that to 10.4 per cent. All I hear coming out of city hall is how great the performingarts centre would be for all of us and the downtown would come alive. Explain to countless seniors who live on a fixed income that it’s only $40 a year added to taxes that keep rising every year. If this is what the city needs and if this is what is going to generate such prosperity for us all, let the one per cent who want the PAC raise private funds. Greg Fenrick Kamloops

There’s plenty of art in September Kuromi’s house right now and the collection is still growing. It won’t be staying there — it’s headed for a year of storage, thanks to the Kamloops Arts Council (KAC). But, before that, it will be on display tomorrow at The Rex, 418 Seymour St., for Timeraiser, a national program Kuromi brought to the city four years ago. Timeraiser’s goal is to connect local agencies and organizations that rely on volunteers to operate with people looking to get involved in their community. It’s like a silent auction; people bid on the art with hours, rather than money. The person who pledges the most gets the art at the next event. Kuromi, an artist herself, said the maximum bid for each piece is 100 hours and, should there be more than one person making that commitment, the names go into a hat and a

winner is drawn. She has some repeat artists from previous Timeraisers, people whose work was popular with those who attended. With plans to buy more art this week, the list of artists includes Jeannette Ardern, Chris Davis-Rollins, Karla Pearce, Alyssa Barclay, Lance Weisser, Gerhard Schumacher, Linda Davidson, Marianna Abutalipova and Donna Vanderlip. Sponsors provide the money to buy the art at market value and a committee of friends and like-minded people, as well as the KAC staff, bring the evening together. Kuromi praised the arts council in particular as being “the most fabulous organization on the planet, so inclusive to all artists.” Each of the 20 organization seeking volunteers will be at Timeraiser to answer questions and promote their own volunteer needs. Kuromi said most people who attend already do a lot of volunteering but, each year, there have been people just starting to get involved with organizations.

Organizations include Special Olympics, Overlander Extended Care Hospital, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, the Canadian Cancer Society, Junior Achievement, Oncore Central Services, the MS Society, Operation Red Nose, the Pregnancy Care Centre, Kamloops Food Bank, People in Motion, the B.C. Wildlife Park, Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks, the Kidney Foundation, Project X, Literacy in Kamloops, the Kamloops Broncos and the arts council. The evening starts when the doors open at 6:30 p.m. A bar and appetizers from Terra Restaurant will be available throughout the evening. Bidding starts at 8 p.m. and continues to 9:30 p.m., when a DJ starts up the music. Winners are announced at 10 p.m. and the entertainment continues. Tickets are $20 and are available online at eventbrite.ca, and if any are left, at the door although Kuromi said the event has sold out each year.

When she was just 15 years old, Jeanne Hungar asked her dad to build her a potter’s wheel. “He was my dad, I figured he could do anything,” Hungar said of that request — it wasn’t quite in his skill set and it would be another 20 years before Hungar got her wheel. “It was a noisy, clunky thing and I had a little wee kiln,” but the creative spark in her had been lit. Now, the Logan Lake resident and long-time member of the Thompson Valley Potters Guild has a computerized wheel, a larger kiln and the entire basement area of her home to create. Hungar will be one of more than

two dozen potters taking part in the guild’s annual sale on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St. Joining the guild will be some local artisans who paint, make jewelry, soap and other items, as well as a few members from the Okanagan Potters Guild. The local guild started in 1969 and Hungar joined 20 years later. Back then, she recalled, it was a large group of artists who plied their trade fulltime and would fill the large banquet room at what was then known as the Stockman’s Hotel — now Hotel 540 — for their annual sales. Eventually, many of them found they needed to take on a regular job with a pay-

cheque she said, as did Hungar, trying to fit in moments with her wheel and kid between work and family. In 2000, however, she quit her job to see if she could make a living creating and selling her pottery. “I thought that if it didn’t work out, I’d go back to work if necessary,” Hungar said. It worked and she didn’t have to — but, in building Meadow Creek Pottery, named for the ribbon of water that runs through Logan Lake, she had to learn all the business aspects associated with marketing and selling her works. She creates what she calls functional art, the kind that won’t necessarily end up on a shelf but perhaps in the oven holding a casserole or in someone’s hand as they sip

wine from it. Recently, she’s begun working with soft slabs, basically slabs of clay that can be textured, rolled, clipped to create their own unique objects. She’s created a group for like-minded artists in Logan’s Lake, the Hairy Potters. She likes it because “your hands are your tools. You don’t need a lot of expensive equipment.” But, her heart remains with her roots. “I’ve always loved the wheel,” Hungar said. “I use it every day.” The sale is free and continues from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The guild is always looking for new members or those just interested in learning about pottery at the workshops it holds.

WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS

SURE, IT’S DARKER EARLIER THESE DAYS BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES GOING ON THIS WEEKEND TO ADD SOME BRIGHTNESS INTO YOUR LIVES, INCLUDING THESE: Tonight, tomorrow and on to Nov. 14, Piece of Mind is on display in the main gallery of the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. A partnership between the B.C. Psychological Association and the Kamloops Arts Council, it features works based on the theme of psychological health. The centre is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Sticking with art, the Thompson Valley Potters Guild will be showing — and selling — its members’ work on Saturday at Desert Gardens Community Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The guild, which started 46 years ago, has about 25 members who create all kinds of pottery from stoneware to raku to porcelain and tableware.

Sean McCann is performing Monday night in Kamloops.

Later on Saturday, local award-winning authors Lorna Crozier and Ian Weir will head to the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre for an evening of readings, wine and cheese, book sales and signings and a silent auction hosted by playwright Glen Cairns. Money raised will go

toward future Kamloops Writers Festivals. Tickets are $25 and $15 for students and are available at the Kamloops Arts Council in the cultural centre. They can be bought by cheque, Visa, MasterCard or cash; the council cannot handle debit purchases. Dinner and music will be

served up on Saturday at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola St., as Kamloopsians come together to present Songs and Stories from the War Years. Dinner is at 5 p.m., the music starts after. Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for children, $35 for families, available at the cathedral office. And, while it’s not the weekend, Monday night’s a good night for music and Sean McCann, formerly of Great Big Sea, will fill the bill with a 7:30 p.m. show at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour St. Tickets are $28 and available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

encased in large plastic bubbles, recently bounced into the Tournament Capital. It can be played on a variety of surfaces — from grass to artificial turf or, in this case, the hardtop inside the track at the Tournament Capital Centre. “We’ll have the use of the full facility,” Verity said. “Two courts.” Registration for the one-day tournament, which takes place on Feb. 21 as part of February Heart Month, is open now and allows for 12 teams of 10 players ages 13 and older to bump and score their way to the top. “We’re going to play informal, but still somewhat competitive,” Verity said. Five players will take to the court during a 12- to 15-minute game, with no stops or halftime. A referee will moderate the games, of which each team is guaranteed at least one and maxes out at four. While equipment — the bubble, ball and nets — is provided, players are asked to bring a towel to wipe down their bubbles on the fly between substitutions. “A lot of people are taken aback when they learn that the games are only 12 to 15 minutes long,” Verity said. “It’s an extreme intense physical workout.” For those who aren’t up to the challenge, bleachers will be set up for fans who want to cheer on a family member or simply watch their pals run around in a giant bubble. “People are welcome to come out and watch, even if they’re

not participating,” Verity said. “Apparently it is absolutely hilarious.” Sponsor tents, a blood-pressure clinic and awareness materials will also be on hand, with Verity emphaszing the true reason for the event. According to the foundation, since the inception of the Heart and Stroke Foundation in 1952, the death rate from heart disease and stroke has declined by more than 75 per cent. The national foundation, among other things, invests in researching preven-

Money raised from this event will help fund research and tools to save lives, Verity said, noting AEDs and awareness resources are examples of community initiatives by the local chapter. “That’s why it’s so important that our supporters continue to support us and come out to these events. “They’re not just fun . . . there’s really a cause behind it.” February’s tournament will also include Ken Smedley presents THE

a kid-friendly “family challenge.” With no age limit, players for the onegame event simply need to be able to carry 20 to 25 pounds. “If you’ve got a really strong five-year-old, they can do it,” Verity said. Registration for the team tournament is $500 per team, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

He launched the camera on a weather balloon, sending it 25 kilometres above Earth and aimed it at the horizon.

Once it was in the desired position, with the sun behind the camera, it exposed the single piece of film. Amateur radio operators helped him launch and recover the balloon. The work is part of Kevin Schmidt: The Commons now on display at the gallery. The presentation is at 7 p.m. in the Tricia Sellmer and Ken Lepin studios.

Students will Loewen to Summit MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

he question was inevitable. “Jermaine, how many goals have you scored?” asked one of Gina Fabbro-Smith’s inquisitive Grade 3 students at Summit elementary last Monday. The answer, while a touch embarrassing, was simple. “None yet,” replied Jermaine Loewen, the 6-foot-3 Kamloops Blazers’ forward, towering above the transfixed children. “But, I feel like it’s coming any day now.” Before the orphaned-Jamaicanturned-WHLer left the class, he passed on a message, one that wasn’t lost on those listening. “He said, ‘I’m not a negative person, I’m positive,’” said Landon Lockwood, one of Fabbro-Smith’s pupils. “‘It helps you a lot if you think positive, not negative, and good things always come up.’” Each day, the students write in an agenda and more than a few of them decided homework that Monday night would be to think positive thoughts for their 17-yearold hero, willing him to score his first major-junior goal. They didn’t have to wait long. In his very next game, Loewen, who didn’t start skating until he was 10, wired home a wrist shot to ignite a euphoric celebration at Sandman Centre on Oct. 28 — two days after the Summit speaking engagement. “I was excited because he hadn’t scored a goal for the Blazers,” said Nate Sanders, one of Lockwood’s Grade 3 pals. “In our agenda, me and Landon wrote, ‘Go Blazers go! Score Jermaine!’” When news of the milestone marker — scored in his 48th WHL

game, nearly a year and a half into his career with the Blazers — reached the classroom the next morning, the students decided to pen a letter to Loewen. “Everyone was so excited and they came in that morning and they were all celebrating,” FabbroSmith said. “When they learned more about his family history and his story, they were even more impressed.” Stan and Tara Loewen adopted Jermaine when he was three, but were forced to endure an agonizing two-year wait before he could go home with them to Arborg, Man. Now, in addition to striving to follow in Graeme Townshend’s footsteps and become the second

Jamaican-born player to lace them up in the NHL, Loewen is adapting to the position of role model. “It’s not always easy, but you’ve got to embrace it and, yeah, there’s a lot of pressure to be that guy, but it’s not about me,” Loewen said. “It’s about how I can impact the kids out there and how I can impact my team.” Blazers’ community relations co-ordinator Ashley Neuls told KTW about the letter FabbroSmith dropped off last week and arrangements were made for Loewen to return to the classroom to say thanks. “Thank you very much for the letter,” said Loewen, standing in front of the students yesterday morning. “It meant a lot, your supporting me. It really helped.

I could feel the energy from you guys and you listened well when I read to you. That was awesome.” Loewen posed for a picture with the letter and the children who wrote it before he drove home to prepare for a practice, slightly worried about the wrath of head coach Don Hay, who was not thrilled about his team’s start against Spokane a night earlier. The bag skate to come quickly vanished from his mind when asked about the letter he received last week. “I’m blessed, just blessed,” Loewen said. “There’s a lot of people who want to be in the position I’m in. “People are always watching you and want to know where you stand in life. I feel that if I can be a

good role model for the kids, I want to be that way.”

Soccer women pack it in following playoff berth ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A stepping stone, a building block, part of the progression — no matter the wording, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack’s first playoff berth in Canada West women’s soccer was a significant step. Still, the result — a 6-1 loss to the UBC Thunderbirds on the weekend — shows the fledgling Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) club still has a ways to go before measuring up against the nation’s elite. “Obviously, it wasn’t the outcome we were looking for,” said WolfPack forward

Danielle Fauteux, who scored the Pack’s lone goal Friday at UBC. “UBC is a tough team — they’ve been in the CIS for a long time. They’re a pedigree team and they’re a highly sought-after team to play on, so they have a ton of great players to chose from in Vancouver. “So, for us, only being in the CIS for a second year, I think even being in that game was a good thing. I think that was a chance for us to sort of pave the way for next year.” Thompson Rivers no doubt made strides in its second campaign amongst Canada’s elite in university sport.

This season, the club posted a 5-7-2 record, scoring 16 goals in 14 matches, while surrendering 22 to its opposition. By comparison, the 2014 WolfPack, the first to play soccer in the Canada West, finished the season 1-10-1, with just nine goals to its credit and 25 surrendered. But, the club is still searching for its footing against upper-echelon teams. First-place UBC outscored TRU 10-1 over two matches. The Victoria Vikes won the lone match between the clubs, 3-0, as did the Manitoba Bisons, 4-0. The Fraser Valley Cascades and Trinity

Midfielder Taylor Miller, who scored on this shot against the Mount Royal Cougars, has played her last university soccer match. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Western Spartans defeated the Pack 1-0 and 3-0, respectively.

Thompson Rivers also faces significant roster turnover. Fauteux, fellow forward Jaydene Radu and midfielder Taylor Miller combined for 12 of the WolfPack’s 16 goals and will now hang up their cleats. Brianna Powrie, a key addition to the WolfPack’s midfield this season, has also played her final university game. “Obviously I’m concerned,” head coach Tom McManus said when asked about the impact of losing a number of core pieces. “Whenever you lose three key players like that . . . it takes a little rebuilding. As I said, I’ve been looking to that and the recruiting I’ve been doing is with that in mind.” Concerns aside, an improved record should be a boon to the WolfPack and McManus heading into his third recruitment cycle as a Canada West coach. Among the club’s wins this season were matches against the UBC-Okanagan Heat and the Mount Royal Cougars of Calgary. TRU also tied the Alberta Pandas

and swept the UNBC Timberwolves. In Fauteux’s words, the WolfPack will enter next season with the belief it can beat a significant portion of Canada West teams. “I wasn’t around last year, but I think it was a bit of a shock to the system, the level of competition and the intensity of CIS,” Fauteux said. “I could see, this

year, them starting to believe more in that, OK, we can win the games against teams like U of A. I think just confidence and stepping up the level of play, they made huge improvements.” The offseason won’t be a long one for the Pack — McManus said the club will get back to training in three weeks’ time and will hope to play a few exhibition matches in the spring. He is already in the thick of recruitment, hoping to replace the club’s six outgoing pieces. He is happy, but not satisfied with the season’s result — and 2016 is a new year. “We met what I was hoping for but, at the same time, I would have liked to have gone further, that’s a guarantee,” McManus said. “I wanted to get by that and get into the final six . . . I really believed that we could have been there. “That, for me, was a little bit of a downer, that we didn’t catch it. But, that’s OK. We’ll go for next year. We’ll make sure we get there.”

The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Do you need a different mortgage strategy? Are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all…there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

This might be the best crop of players Tony Cuzzetto has seen in six years as head coach of the St. Ann’s Crusaders’ boys soccer team. “We’re city champs, we were undefeated in our zone and we also won the Okanagan championship,” Cuzzetto said. “Our defence is really, really strong and we have really good centre midfielders.” St. Ann’s is hosting the B.C.

Friday afternoon and wrap up with the final at 11 a.m. on Saturday. For the complete schedule, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. The Crusaders downed Immaculata of Kelowna 5-2 to claim the regional championship and Cuzzetto has high hopes for provincials. “We’re hoping for top three for sure this year,” he said, noting Glenlyon Norfolk of Victoria, West Point Grey of Vancouver and Southridge of Surrey are likely the teams to beat.

“This is definitely one of the top teams we’ve had.”

Game time is 5 p.m. Valleyview is coming off its first victory of the campaign — a 24-6 triumph over the Clarence Fulton Maroons (0-4) in Vernon on Friday.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE

McDavid out ‘months’ with broken clavicle; surgery needed DEAN BENNETT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Edmonton Oilers phenom rookie Connor McDavid was expected to undergo surgery yesterday to repair a broken left collarbone, with a recuperation period expected to stretch into months. “He’ll be out indefinitely,’’ Oilers general manger Peter Chiarelli told a news conference at Rexall Place. “We’re talking about months. We don’t have a particular time frame, but as I said, plural, months. There will be plates and screws involved.’’ McDavid was injured Tuesday night in the Oilers’ 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Racing down the left wing toward the Philadelphia goal late in the second period, with Flyer defenders Brandon Manning and Michael Del Zotto beside him, McDavid appeared to lose the edge on his skate. The trio fell and plowed hard into the end boards. McDavid struggled to his feet and skated slowly to the bench. “He didn’t have much to say [after the

game],’’ Chiarelli said. “He was upset. He loves to play the game and he won’t be playing it for a while.’’ He said McDavid has age and character on his side. “The silver lining is that he’s young, he’s a strong kid mentally and physically, he’s still developing, so he’ll come back probably even stronger. “In my experience with these significant injuries with younger players they come back stronger.’’ McDavid went down in the 13th game of his rookie season, but in that time he had already established himself as one of the key players and catalysts on the Oilers. McDavid has five goals and 12 points in 12 games this season. He was named rookie of the month for October. The Oilers are 5-8 and fighting to return to the playoffs for the first time in a decade. “Injuries are a part of hockey but to be out that long this early in his career, I’m sure he’s pretty heartbroken,’’ said winger Taylor Hall, the Oilers’ leading goal scorer. “We’re going to try

and be there for him and make sure that he gets through it well.’’ It’s the latest in a string of injuries to key Oilers, including winger Jordan Eberle (shoulder) and defenceman Justin Schultz (back). Eberle is close to returning and head coach Todd McLellan said the team will soldier on. “We’ve played without key people,” McLellan said. “Now we’ll play without Connor.’’ Some fans took to social media to criticize Manning for appearing

to grab McDavid on the way down. McLellan said he didn’t see it that way. “It’s a hockey play,” he said. “You could watch it 100 times and there’s nothing dirty about it. “When the pile of three went down it was self-survival. All three of them were in a dangerous situation with the boards coming at them very quick. “[McDavid] caught a rut or he lost an edge and he went down. It happens.’’ It’s the second major injury for McDavid in

less than a year. Last November, while playing junior for the OHL’s Erie Otters, McDavid broke a bone in his right hand in a fight with Bryson Cianfrone of the Mississauga Steelheads.

FALLING FOR WELLS GRAY

SIX WATERFALLS ON MURTLE RIVER TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.com

elmcken Falls is one of the most spectacular falls in British Columbia and a must-see for any outdoor enthu-

siast. The 141-metre waterfall on the Murtle River within Wells Gray Provincial Park is the fourth highest waterfall in Canada, measured by total straight drop without a break, and was one of the reasons for the 1939 creation of the park. Credit for discovering Helmcken Falls goes to Robert Henry Lee (1859 to 1935), a land surveyor working for the B.C. government. In 1911, Lee was awarded a fouryear contract to survey lands in the North Thompson and Clearwater Valleys. By 1913, he was working south of the Murtle River laying out lots for homesteaders. On July 24, 1913, he walked west along the Murtle River from his remote camp and reached the top of the waterfall. He was so impressed he wrote a letter to Sir Richard McBride, premier of British Columbia, requesting the falls be named “McBride Falls.” Three weeks later, Lee received a reply from the premier stating the waterfall was instead to be called Helmcken Falls. This name honoured John Sebastian Helmcken, a physician with the Hudson’s Bay Company who arrived in Victoria in 1850. He helped bring B.C. into Canadian Confederation in 1871. Helmcken died in 1920 at the age of 95, but never actually saw the falls himself. My friends Donna, Debbie and I tackled this eight-kilometre return trail in late August. It was a warm day but the shady forested

trail kept us cool. The one way in and out trail took us roughly three hours return. It is a fairly flat and gentle grade but the very tree-rooty path gives your legs a good workout. About half way up the trail, we discovered a stony beach with the most interesting volcanic rocks; we stopped here for a snack before continuing on to the brink of Helmcken Falls. Most people see the falls from the viewpoint on the other side of the canyon. Seeing it from the Rim Trail is a much more exhilarating experience. With no fencing to keep people from the edge, it is definitely a hike you want to bring your more cautious buddies on. The trail follows right beside the edge of the canyon where you will get a close of the falls going over the edge and the small falls before the large one.

Did you know?

There are six other waterfalls on the Murtle River, upstream from Helmcken Falls. The others are The Mushbowl, Dawson Falls, Majerus Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Meadow Falls and McDougall Falls. Teresa the Traveler is a travel writer. Find more online at teresathetraveler.com.

Bryan was born in Kamloops, British Columbia, March 26, 1991. He graduated from Valleyview Secondary School, 2009. Bryan was an avid outdoor enthusiast; he loved skiing, golfing, camping, fishing and hunting. Bryan, we hope that your campsite has a beautiful view and the lake is well stocked with fish. You will live forever in the hearts of those who love you. A private family service in memory of Bryan will be held on November 12, 2015.

He spent most of his life in the Lower Mainland of BC. After retirement, he moved to Rayleigh, or “Southern Rayleigh” he would say. Carpentry was his career choice, but sports definitely was his passion. He loved baseball the most. Having played the sport at a fairly serious level, he connected with people through sports his whole life. Many would gather through the years to watch a variety of games. He touched many with his kind soul, sense of humour, and his open door policy. The love of his life was Coco, his companion. A special thanks to all his Rayleigh friends, who were dear to him. As per Stephen’s wishes, no formal ceremony will take place. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Trudeau bringing Women take on priority ‘real change’ to portfolios in Liberal cabinet Canada’s cabinet GENDER EQUALITY

JENNIFER DITCHBURN

From page A1

Highlighting Trudeau’s campaign promise to deliver “real change,’’ Trudeau weighted his cabinet with newbies, giving them some of the most crucial and influential portfolios, some of which he has reconfigured or renamed. Crown prosecutor and former B.C. regional aboriginal chief Jody Wilson-Raybould takes on Justice; family doctor Jane Philpott takes Health; economist Jean-Yves Duclos takes Families, Children and Social Development; Catherine McKenna takes Environment and Climate Change; Harjit Singh Sajjan takes Defence; Melanie Joly takes Canadian Heritage; and MaryAnn Mihychuk takes Employment, Workforce Development and Labour. Former journalist Chrystia Freeland, who won a byelection in Toronto two years ago, will head up International Trade, while Navdeep Bains, who is back as an MP after being defeated in 2011, becomes minister of innovation, science and economic development. The rookies will be backstopped by seven veterans with previous federal or provincial cabinet experience, including Ralph Goodale in Public Safety, Stephane Dion in Foreign Affairs, John McCallum in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Carolyn Bennett in Indigenous and Northern Affairs, Judy Foote in Public Services and Procurement, and Scott Brison in Treasury Board.

Veteran MP and lifelong Trudeau friend Dominic LeBlanc becomes government house leader, while fellow longtime MPs Marc Garneau and Kirsty Duncan take on Transport and Science, respectively. Trudeau himself, who has promised to usher in a new era of collaboration with the provinces, takes responsibility for intergovernmental affairs and youth. Trudeau’s Liberals won a strong majority of 184 seats, with representation in every province and territory. His cabinet reflects that, with 11 ministers from Ontario, six from Quebec, three from British Columbia and two each from Alberta and Manitoba. Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island all have a single representative in cabinet, as does Nunavut. Geography — along with Trudeau’s determination to have a smaller cabinet than Harper’s 39-member ministry and to ensure half his ministers are women — resulted in some surprising absences, including former general Andrew Leslie, popular former Toronto city councillor Adam Vaughan, former Toronto police chief Bill Blair, former provincial minister and one-time leadership rival Joyce Murray and Trudeau leadership organizer Mark Holland. Trudeau was unrepentant when asked why gender parity was so important. “Because it’s 2015,’’ he said simply.

OTTAWA — “Visitors in the Commons’ gallery couldn’t help seeing one woman among so many men,’’ the late cabinet minister Judy LaMarsh lamented in 1969. “But they made no effort to disguise the fact that they regarded me as a curiosity and stared whenever I could be seen.’’ More than 50 years after Progressive Conservative Ellen Fairclough and LaMarsh, a Liberal, became the first and second female cabinet ministers, women are no longer just sprinkled on the front benches. Fifteen women from different walks of life took positions Wednesday in the first genderbalanced cabinet in Canadian

history, assigned portfolios that will include priority policy files for the new government. The cabinet has 31 members, including Trudeau. “Because it’s 2015,’’ Trudeau said, when asked about why parity was important to him. A cheer went up in the crowd gathered outside of Rideau Hall. Jody Wilson-Raybould, a lawyer and former regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, was sworn in as attorney general and justice minister, becoming the first aboriginal person to hold the post. She follows in the footsteps of Tory Kim Campbell and Liberal Anne McLellan. WilsonRaybould will have to tackle the legalization of marijuana, how to approach physician-assisted death and the retooling of anti-

terror legislation introduced by the Conservatives. Ottawa lawyer and NGO director Catherine McKenna takes on the environment and climate change portfolio, just as world leaders prepare to meet in Paris for international climate change talks. McKenna’s win over popular NDP MP Paul Dewar in downtown Ottawa was one of the most stunning local victories of the 2015 election. Former journalist and media manager Chrystia Freeland is the trade minister, the first women in the job since Pat Carney held the post in Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservative government in the 1980s. She will have the finalization of the Trans-Pacific Partnership on her plate.

Finance minister a rare breed ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — For the first time in nearly 100 years, a political newcomer is stepping into the high-stakes, pressure-cooker position of federal finance minister. Multi-millionaire Toronto businessman Bill Morneau takes over the file at a critical time, as the economy struggles

to rebound from the steep drop in the price of oil and other commodities. Morneau, sworn in Wednesday as a key member of Justin Trudeau’s new Liberal cabinet, is the first political rookie to take on finance since 1919, but he brings considerable experience from the business world. Until recently, he was executive chairman of Morneau

Shepell, the country’s largest human-resources consulting firm. He resigned from his post at Morneau Shepell a week after last month’s election, but his holdings in the company will likely come under scrutiny now that he’s finance minister. Morneau still owns nearly a five per cent stake in the company, Canada’s largest administrator of pension plans.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed three rookie B.C. MPs to his new cabinet, all from the Lower Mainland. Vancouver South MP Harjit Sajjan, a former LieutenantColonel in the Canadian Forces who served three tours in Afghanistan, is the new Minister of Defence. He was a Vancouver police officer for 11 years before running for Parliament in the Oct. 19 election. Vancouver-Granville MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, another first-time candidate elected to the new riding of VancouverGranville, is appointed Justice Minister. Wilson-Raybould is a former Crown prosecutor and served as B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations before running for national office.

Delta MP Carla Qualtrough is appointed minister for Sport and Persons with Disabilities. A lawyer and specialist in disabilities who is visually impaired, Qualtrough won three medals in swimming at the 1988 and 1992 Paralympic Games. B.C. Premier Christy Clark congratulated the new B.C. MPs, part of a contingent of 17 elected with the Liberal majority in Ottawa. “I am pleased to see British Columbia will be well represented at the cabinet

table,” Clark said in a statement Wednesday. “I know ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould, Harjit Sajjan and Carla Qualtrough will be strong, passionate advocates not just for our province, but for our shared priorities, like renewing the Softwood Lumber Agreement, LNG development, increasing support for international trade, investing in infrastructure and immigration, as well as fully including First Nations in our diverse economy.”

Civic to set benchmark in looks, performance KEITH MORGAN

DRIVEWAY CANADA

drivewaycanada.ca

onda has pulled out all the stops to guarantee its all-new flagship Civic continues as Canada’s topselling car for the 18th consecutive year. The first sedan rolled off the line at the Alliston plant in Ontario last week and yours truly had the opportunity to put 200 kilometres on the clock of an early production model. Truly, it is hard to imagine the manufacturer’s position in the compact market segment faces any serious challenge. Early examination suggests the 10thgeneration Civic will set a new benchmark in looks, performance, safety and fuel economy, to name but four areas important to today’s car buyers. The base model, which includes a list of standard features that mocks its lowly position in the model pecking order, is $15,750 (excluding taxes). The loaded Touring version doesn’t come close to $30,000 with its base sticker price of $26,990.

The base Honda Civic model, which includes standard features, starts at $15,750.

On the business side, this car is a major Canadian business coup as it is the first time Honda has designated a plant outside of Japan as the lead location for the manufacture of any product, let alone its most successful model. “Civic is a vehicle that Canadians have grown to trust. This 10th-generation model will continue to set a new benchmark in the compact class with fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency and safety performance, together with a new level of

refinement,” said a proud Jerry Chenkin, president and CEO of Honda Canada Inc. “Canadians can also take pride in knowing that every Civic coupe, sedan and Si model sold in Canada is made right here in Ontario, for Canadians, by Canadians.” More than 4.5 million Civics have been built at the facility since 1988 and sales in Canada exceed 1.89-million units. The sedan is the first in a series of models that will also include a coupe, highperformance Si mod-

els, a five-door hatchback and the first-ever Civic Type-R model for the Canadian market. Set alongside an original model from the 1970s that greeted us at the launch location two hours away at Blue Mountain resort in Collingwood, the sleek car that goes on sale next month looks like a car from a highspeed computer game. A Civic is now rolling off the line at the rate of one every 63 seconds during each day’s production, so a variety of versions should hit the media test fleets soon.

Therefore, a more comprehensive review will follow when there’s an opportunity to put the different trims through their paces in local conditions. However, here are some quick initial observations, first on performance. Two new engines are introduced: a 2.0litre i-VTEC power plant propels the base DX with the assistance of a six-speed manual transmission. The LX/EX ditto, though there’s a choice of manual transmission or continuously variable transmission

(auto) in the LX and the EX gets the CVT. The EX-T and Touring versions get the turbocharged 1.5-litre DOHC directinjected engine 1.5litre The anticipated fuel economy ratings for the 1.5 with CVT is expected to be around 7.6/5.5/6.7 (L/100km) (city/highway/combined) and for the 2.0/CVT 7.8/5.8/6.9 (L/100km). The Touring trim tester I spun through rural Ontario drew its zip from the impressive 1.5-litre turbo unit. It moved smoothly through a muchimproved CVT when accelerating on the flat and did not continuously search for the right gear on long inclines, as earlier examples typically did. It’s a global car so its design and performance were benchmarked against the best prestige European cars — and it shows. Opening up on the rural route was a pleasure and, despite the less than smooth road surface under the wheels, the cabin was remarkably quiet at speed and every bump was softened by the car’s suspension. The wheels are pushed to the four corners and the car has been lengthened,

providing great human cargo space for five, especially noticeable in the rear passenger area, and the trunk will swallow the week’s big shop at the grocery store. The interior is somewhat more refined and, though the materials used are clearly better than previous models, they are perhaps not as deluxe or soft-touch as Honda boats. Not a dealbreaker though. In terms of tech toys, the optional touchscreen/audio system is compatible with Android Auto2 and Apple CarPlay3, thus enabling you to connect your smart phone seamlessly. Wireless charging is also an option. The use of an electronic parking brake creates much more space for the centre console, which can easily take two large cups of java and your tablet of choice. Honda sensingsafety and driver-assistive technologies are available and a closer look at those will feature in our full review. A novelty that will be appreciated in colder climes will be the remote start option that, in addition, automatically sets the car temperature to 22 C. Toasty.
