An investigation is underway after two horses were found dead yesterday on a Shuswap Road property east of Kamloops. “I would suspect based on their body score, they probably starved to death,” said BCSPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. Nine other horses were found alive on the property, reportedly with inadequate shelter and access to food and water. The equines’ nails were overgrown, Chortyk said, and they scored two or three on a body conditioning scale of nine. “They were extremely thin,” she said. The BC SPCA is the only animal welfare organization in B.C. with the authority to enforce animal cruelty laws under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. Chortyk said necropsies will determine official causes of death. Evidence will be given to the Crown. No charges have yet been laid. “Sometimes it can take months,” Chortyk said. “Even a year.” Chortyk could not say whether the property on which the horses were found was a breeding facility, nor would not give further information about owners of the property or those using it. While not much can be said about who is responsible for neglecting the horses, Chortyk said the case isn’t unusual. “We do get a lot of cases involving horses,” she said. “We take in hundreds of neglected, abused horses every year.” The nine remaining horses were removed from the property by haulers and have been placed in foster homes to receive veterinary care.

LOSING LOCKS FOR CANCER AWARENESS
Sun Life Financial branch manager Derek Strokon puts the final touches on the recently shaved head of fellow advisor Steve Passmore under the watchful eye of Continental Barber Shop owner Lise Mitra. Passmore is among a dozen staff members raising funds for True Nth, a physical activity and lifestyle management program created to improve prostate cancer care. Local True Nth partners are the City of Kamloops, F3 Fit and Thompson Rivers University. All money raised will stay in Kamloops to support local men’s cancer programming. Donations are eligible for charitable donation receipts.
Work closes Quilchena Bridge Drivers travelling between Merritt and Kamloops on Highway 5A will need to use the Coquihalla Highway instead on two days this week. The Quilchena Bridge on Highway 5A will be fully closed to vehicle traffic on Tuesday and Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., for bridge maintenance.
The bridge, which is 25 kilometres north of Merritt, just south of Quilchena Creek Road, will be closed for 10 hours both days as work continues to replace timber caps over two of the instream piers. Traffic control personnel will be positioned at either end of Highway 5A during the closures to inform drivers and provide the ability
to turn around if necessary. Drivers will still have access to Highway 5A on either side of the bridge, but those travelling from Kamloops to Merritt should travel on the Coquihalla Highway. Go online to DriveBC.ca for the latest information on timing of the bridge re-opening and for more highway updates.
The wildfire sculpture that stands outside the Thompson-Nicola Regional District Building in downtown Kamloops will be getting some company. The TNRD board has approved setting aside $100,000 in next year’s budget to create a monument to regional district volunteers who helped during this past summer’s wildfires. The monument will be erected in the plaza outside Sandman Centre, the arena where many wildfire evacuees from Cache Creek, Ashcroft, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and elsewhere were housed. It is estimated volunteers put in more than 75,000 hours to help in July and August. The chair of the TNRD board is hoping to have more to offer than the $100,000 in public money set aside by officials to pay for a publicart memorial. John Ranta said the $100,000 from the TNRD’s general revenue might be augmented by corporate or philanthropic donations. “It’s consistent with what happened after the 2003 wildfire with the statue in front of the TNRD Building,” he said of the Cameron Kerr sculpture on Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue. Kerr’s creation — which houses regional district headquarters, the Kamloops Art Gallery and the Kamloops Library — features four people facing north and was created in memory of the 2003 wildfires that ravaged parts of the North Thompson Valley. Ranta said the regional district is hoping to move quickly on the memorial, aiming to have it done by April. “The timeline we’re looking at for this particular monument is a little shorter than the last one,” he said. “We’ll put up a request for expressions of interest and that will go out to artists and sculptors in the area.” As for what it might look like, the board is waiting to see what proposals artists come up with. “It’s kind of up in the air until we see what the area artists have in mind,” Ranta said.

Fentanyl test strips are coming to Kamloops DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The provincial government is introducing a drug-checking pilot project in Vancouver — a first in the country. Meanwhile, fentanyl test strips are coming to Kamloops. Judy Darcy, minister of mental health and addictions, said the moves are the latest in the government’s reaction to the ongoing drug crisis in the province, with more than 80 per cent of street drugs containing fentanyl, which has led to a dramatic increase in overdose deaths. The City of Vancouver is using $60,000 from its opioid contingency fund to work with the B.C. Centre on Substance Use to buy
and operate the portable drugchecking machine. It is already in use at two supervised drug use sites in Vancouver — Insite and Powell Street Getaway. People will be able to submit samples of street drugs anonymously to be analyzed by the machine, which can test for opioids, stimulants and other psychoactive drugs. Multiple compounds can be determined within minutes. The ministry is also expanding the use of fentanyl test strips in all supervised drug use and overdose prevention sites in B.C., including in Kamloops. “Drug testing shows promise as an additional harm-reduction tool in the fight against overdoses,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, Interior
Health’s medical health officer. “Knowing what is in the substance you are about to use can help a person make an informed decision about whether or how much to use and that has the potential to save lives.” The ministry has allocated $3 million to support drug-testing throughout the province. That amount is part of the $322 million in new funding for the next three years that will be targeted at the overdose crisis and used to improve addictions care. The strips had been tested at Insite in another year-long pilot project. In September, the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority began using them in all of that region’s overdose prevention and supervised drug use sites.

MLA says he is in top three in race CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Calling himself the underdog, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said his campaign to become the next leader of the B.C. Liberal Party is nonetheless among the top three. Stone is one of six Liberals vying to succeed former leader Christy Clark and take the party into the next election. Two candidates, MLA Mike Bernier and Terrace businesswoman Lucy Sager, have dropped out, backing Mike de Jong and Dianne Watts, respectively. “I’m pleased where we’re at,” Stone told KTW. “I think we’re in the top two or three.” The decision by Bernier and Sager to quit the race leaves Stone as the sole candidate outside the Lower Mainland, something that differentiates him and his campaign as it works to secure support and money prior to the leadership vote, which will take place between Feb. 1 and Feb. 3 via online and telephone voting. Stone most recently put forward plans to help with housing affordability by giv-
ing municipalities funding to clear planning delays, to increase density on major transportation routes and to apply the property purchase tax to flippers who use assignment clauses to transfer ownership in hot markets. He would also eliminate the property purchase tax completely for first-time buyers. “We have more bold, fresh, new ideas coming out than all the other campaigns combined,” Stone said. The former transportation minister and second-term MLA will fill much of his time this week, when the legislature is not in session, by touring communities to build support. That tour will include the Peace, Kootenays and Okanagan. Stone said it’s important in the campaign to keep good relationships with other campaigns because the party is using the preferential ballot system. That means the second choice of members will be crucial to victory. Remaining in the campaign are Watts, the former Surrey mayor and Conservative MP, and MLAs Andrew Wilkinson, Michael Lee,
Sam Sullivan and de Jong. Stone said pegging the frontrunners now remains a guessing game. Stone has the endorsement of four sitting MLAs — Peter Milobar (KamloopsNorth Thompson), Greg Kyllo (Shuswap), Coralee Oakes (Cariboo North) and Jane Thornthwaite (North VancouverSeymour) — and nine former MLAs. Deadline for new party members to join and vote in the leadership race is Dec. 29. The party had about 35,000 members before Christy Clark resigned this past summer. In the 2011 leadership race, the party membership grew to 100,000. “You’ll see how many your campaign signed up and where,” Stone said. Dec. 29 is also the deadline for leadership candidates to file nomination papers. Candidates seeking the leadership must pay a $25,000 candidacy fee and a refundable $10,000 compliance deposit by Dec. 29. Candidates can spend up to $600,000 on their campaigns. The party’s next leadership debate is in Nanaimo on Nov. 19.

Current deals won’t be stressed Federal authorities have loosened incoming rules for new homebuyers who sign deals this year, allowing them to qualify under current mortgage rules. The issue was highlighted by the Canadian Home Builders Association, which said as many as 20,000 Canadians who purchased homes this year could be caught in the new mortgage stress test. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions is imposing the new
stress test on buyers of uninsured mortgages — those with more than 20 per cent down — to ensure they can handle the shock of higher rates. Those rules will be in place as of Jan. 1. But the industry argued buyers who ink deals before that date should not come under the rules. If so, they may not be able to get mortgages for contracts they entered. The Kamloops-based Central
Interior branch of the association was one of those calling for an exception. The CHBA forecast up to 11 per cent of buyers who purchase a new home would fail the test — thus imperilling deals already made. “The CHBA was concerned that this issue could also trigger significant oversupply in certain markets, as unsold homes reentered the market, potentially at distressed prices,” the organization said in a statement.
Cat burglar afraid of fentanyl’s effects A Kamloops cat burglar who stole a laptop, a cellphone and money from a downtown townhouse while its residents slept has been handed a two-year prison sentence. Leo Neveu, 44, pleaded guilty to one count of break and enter in Kamloops provincial court. Court heard Neveu entered a townhouse on First Avenue sometime between midnight and
4:45 a.m. on July 20, 2016, by removing a screen on an open dining room window. Residents of the home told police they woke up to find items missing and the front door open. Neveu’s fingerprints were found on a change dish and a cellphone box. In court, Neveu described himself as a drug addict who hopes to turn his life around by taking a job at a mine in Ontario.

“Fentanyl is going to kill me,” he said. “Maybe I could have survived the China white in the early ‘90s, but fentanyl is killing people and I don’t want to die.” After being given credit for time served since his arrest, Neveu has 95 days left to spend behind bars.

WILL FEAR LEAD TO FEWER DEATHS?
A
s with most news subjects that continue to deliver stories day after day after day, the ongoing focus on the opioid crisis can threaten to become so overwhelming that readers begin tuning out the coverage. It’s called news fatigue and it is understandable. At a certain point, the stories become white noise to some as nothing seems to change while reporters chronicle the despair. The tragic numbers tabulating the deaths are rising and nothing the government sets in motion to stem the tide seems to be working. But the public health emergency — as it was declared 17 months ago by the province — remains, with more overdose deaths through September than the number recorded all of last year. While more drastic measures may need to be taken — legalization of all drugs, for example, with prescription narcotics for those with addictions — Victoria is still trying various ways to save lives, short of echoing Nancy Reagan’s failed “Just Say No” mantra. Coming soon to Kamloops are fentanyl testing strips, which will allow drug users to determine if their drug of choice is laced with the drug that is claiming so many lives. In Vancouver, a pilot project is employing a drug-checking machine. People will be able to submit samples of street drugs anonymously to be analyzed by the machine, which can test for opioids, stimulants and other psychoactive drugs. Multiple compounds can be determined within minutes. The key to this crisis, of course, is to ultimately help people kick their addictions — and maybe the sheer fear of dying is aiding in that effort. Consider the view of a self-admitted drug addict who was sentenced in Kamloops last week for burglary: “Fentanyl is going to kill me,” Leo Neveu told court. “Maybe I could have survived the China white in the early ‘90s, but fentanyl is killing people and I don’t want to die.”

Searching for decorum
T
his is a column that is supposed to provide some insight into goings-on at council and/or the city at large. But what I want to talk about speaks more to who we are as community leaders and members. It speaks to decorum. Recently I had the honour to attend question period in the legislature in Victoria. I looked forward to fiery debate on all manner of issues that would affect us as taxpayers. The members of the legislature (regardless of party affiliation) were there to represent the interests of their respective communities and it’s generally believed they would conduct themselves with a high standard of decorum. They would be respectful while being resolute in their stand to provide what is best for the province or, in the case of the opposition, would hold the government to account. Unfortunately, what I witnessed didn’t even come close to reflecting this. In fact, you couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when you looked across the gallery at the faces of visiting students, foreign guests and other members of the general public and saw the visible dismay as they reacted to this display before them. This behaviour wasn’t limited to opposition. It was also exhibited by our government. Though I recognize much of what we see in question period is theatre, I still had to wonder what was being accomplished. After leaving the legislature, I wondered aloud as to how the people of Kamloops would react to us treating our fellow councillors in the same fashion. If one councillor had a par-

View From
CITY HALL ticular point of view on an issue, would it be acceptable for others to not only shout them down, but also hurl denigrating remarks at them? Add to this challenging the chair (mayor) on attempts to restore order to the proceedings by asking people to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. I believe we would not only lose the confidence of our staff, but also that of our citizenry. I don’t know when it happened, but this lack of decorum has become commonplace in our society. One need look no further than social media or the forums on our local news feeds to see how little respect we have for our fellow citizens. When I came to council, I recognized there would be those who like me, those not so much and those who would base their opinion of me on a case-by-case basis. I knew full well that any attempt at resonating with every person in this city would be met with a quick dose of reality. What I came to realize very quickly, though, was how personal some of the attacks levelled at me had become. I have no problem with criticism and different points of view and I am definitely aware how at times my stand may truly
disappoint some. Yet, perhaps naively, I wasn’t quite prepared for the down-inthe-mire attacks. I learned quickly to recognize the issue that was being discussed and ignore the personal attack. I learned you can’t dismiss the anger. In the mind of the person delivering the contempt, what they say is legitimate and warrants consideration. I will always give due consideration. I will listen. What I will no longer do is become bothered by the attacks as they serve no useful purpose and I will not waste my energy on fighting something completely out of my control. What I’d prefer is to have people bring me legitimate concerns in a respectful manner. Seeing how we treat each other as individuals in our community, can we really be proud of ourselves? If your community leaders cannot conduct themselves in a respectful manner publicly, what example are we setting for our respective communities? If our legislators in Victoria or here in Kamloops have no sense of decorum, what right do we have to expect that level of respect from our own citizens? After all, we’re the ones who should be setting the example. I will always, regardless of how you feel about me, accord you the respect I would hope to receive and, hopefully, conduct myself with the professionalism you are entitled to expect. I would hope my colleagues on council would follow. Dieter Dudy is a Kamloops councillor. Council columns appear monthly in KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
STUDENTS NEED TO LEARN PRACTICAL SKILLS Editor: Re: Kamloops-Thompson school trustee Rhonda Kershaw’s column of Nov. 7 (‘New strategic plan a road map to a great local education’): I am a retired primary teacher and, having just read the column, it is, I am sad to say, the same old, same old. The wording is different, but there is no significant change. It is all very well to write these ideas down as a plan, but the reality of seeing genuine change and improvement is quite lacking. When I read “We will ensure every student acquires strong foundational skills and core competencies,” I cringed. Those concepts have been the foundation of the provincial primary program for more than 30 years. That is what teachers in perpetuity have been supposedly trying to do. How can we say this is happening when children are no longer required to learn their number facts, learn to spell
We are seeing so many “bright but incompetent
young people in the work force, in high school and attending higher education facilities, where they just barely cope.
”
or learn handwriting? Those are part of foundational skills. They are part of what is essential to education: teaching practical skills that are life-long. It is all well and good to be a creative thinker. Sadly, that only takes a person so far. If a person cannot do basic things such as make change, figure out percentages or add a column of numbers without using a calculator; fill out a job application or other forms properly; write a paper or letter knowing
the correct basic spelling, punctuation and grammar; or print and write correctly, that person has been seriously shortchanged. We are seeing so many bright but incompetent young people in the work force, in high school and attending higher education facilities, where they just barely cope. There are teachers who are tired of hitting their heads against the wall of impracticality. There is more and more pressure on those caring teachers who recognize this and who are trying to raise the standard so young people can succeed in their chosen fields. It is well and good to “connect students to their future dreams,” but the reality is stark unless basic skills are taught for mastery. The work by trustees is most important and appreciated. Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of students and staff of the KamloopsThompson school district. Lynn Eberts Kamloops
LEARN ASTRONOMY, HISTORY, MUSIC WITH KALS Editor: We’ve had many queries about KALS and its’ intriguing name, so we thought we would explain it for readers of KTW. KALS is the acronym for Kamloops Adult Learners Society, a group that formed in 2005. It was the brainchild of Margaret Cleavely, a longtime educator. When she arrived in
Kamloops, KALS was created after many conversations with like-minded folk. The response was immediate and gratifying as there was obviously a need for such an organization, whose aim was to provide stimulating ideas in safe surroundings that entailed no exams. Ideas for courses were formulated and presenters were found
in the community, including at Thompson Rivers University. All were keen on this concept and gave freely of their time and talents to help make it work — and work, it did. Early courses included astronomy, Canadian history, music, art, archeology and many newsrelated subjects. Kamloops has a wealth of educated, dedicated citizens
who readily share their ideas and knowledge. Today, the society’s mailing list has more than 425 names. Thirty-eight courses were offered in the fall and many were filled immediately. For more information, call 236-425-4414 or go online to kals.ca. Shirley Rowland KALS publicity co-chair

Robert Price calls it the longest drive of his life. The 43-year-old Alberta trucker spent three-hours driving along Highway 5 North last Monday after an assailant came to his window, waving a handgun, demanding Price drive him away from the turnout in the road where Price had been taking a break. “He came to my window and said you don’t have a choice — your only two choices are, are you driving or am I driving,?’ Price said. “In my own mind,
I had no doubt he wouldn’t have had a problem shooting me to get out of there. I’ve never been in the kind of situation like this.’’ It began late Monday afternoon, Nov. 6, when a RCMP officer found a man slumped over in his running van near Avola, two hours north of Kamloops along Highway 5 North. As the officer was putting the suspect into a police car, the suspect overpowered him and drove off in his original vehicle. The van driver allegedly forced a pickup truck to pull over, but couldn’t commandeer

worried about what would happen when they eventually reached their final destination. “That was running through my mind the whole time actually. How does this end?’’ Price was on the phone for most of the drive with his boss and the RCMP, but pretended it was his dispatcher. He was able to give information about where the vehicle was and police eventually told him to pull over at the weigh scales on the Coquihalla Highway, just south of the Copperhead Road exit. “I said, ‘I’ve got to get out. There’s something screwed up back there.’ I got out slowly and then the cops told me to run. As I was running, I heard gunshots and it was actually them taking out the front tires,’’ Price said. He said it was the gunshots that really scared him. “I was waiting for the bullet to hit when
I heard the shots. I thought he’s shot at me.’’ Despite the use of tear gas, Price said the suspect still tried to drive away and rolled his truck over an embankment. David Lee Chappell, 33, from the Lower Mainland, faces a number of charges, including kidnapping and use of a firearm in the commission of an offence. Price is philosophical about the entire experience. “I have a firm belief that people are put in certain places at certain times for a reason,” he said. “Maybe I prevented something worse from happening to other people,’’ he said. “I kind of joked with my sisters and I said, ‘You know how they say at the end of your life, he who wins has the best stories?’ “I said I think I’ve got one of the better ones.’’

the vehicle and took off again when police arrived. He ended up stopping at a roadside turnout where semitractor trailers were parked. He approached one of the trucks, smashed out a window and tried to get the trucker to drive him away. “He actually left that one and came over to me and when he pulled a gun it was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll drive you,’’’ Price said. “Once he was in the truck, we were driving down the road and stuff. I think in my mind I was thinking as long as I was doing what he wanted and driving, he was really no great threat to me, but it was a long three-hour drive to Kamloops.’’ Price said conversation was limited, but his passenger asked him how long he had been driving and said he had owned trucks in the past.

Tuked away no more: road to Arctic coast set to open THE CANADIAN PRESS
TUKTOYAKTUK, N.W.T. — At 6 a.m. on Wednesday, in the Arctic cold and darkness of the Mackenzie Delta, Darrel Nasogaluak will fire up his vehicle and head out on Canada’s newest and most exotic road trip. Nasogaluak, mayor of the Northwest Territories hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk, will drive down 120 kilometres of brand new, two-lane, all-weather gravel to Inuvik. Replacing a seasonal ice road, the new highway is the country’s first permanent link to its Arctic coast. With apologies to Stan Rogers, travellers will now be able to grasp the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea from the heated comfort of their drivers’ seats. “It’s something that’s been on the community’s want list for 40 years,’’ said Nasogaluak, who will make the early morning trip to join up with opening ceremonies in Inuvik. After it’s done, he will join an official motorcade heading back up the road to Tuk. That’s where the real party will begin — speeches, songs, fireworks and a lavish community feast with local favourites including caribou, reindeer, char, whale and muktuk. The $300-million road will cross a rolling landscape of tundra and lakes with many stream crossings and bridges. “I’ve travelled a lot of highways, but the scenery on this one is quite different,’’ said Nasogaluak, who has already
been out on the route on his ATV. “You come out of the forested areas out on to the tundra and you eventually reach the ocean.’’ N.W.T. Infrastructure Minister Wally Schumann has driven half the road. “When you come out of Inuvik, for about 20 kilometres you don’t realize how much you’re going uphill,” he said. “The trees just get smaller and smaller and smaller and, all of a sudden, you’re on the top of a mountain and there’s no trees and you can see about 100 kilometres on both sides of the highway. “It’s an amazing feeling.’’ People first began talking about the project in the 1960s. Surveys began in 1974. The Northwest Territories made the first proposal in 1998 and Ottawa granted $200 million in funding in 2009 after years of lobbying from the territory and aboriginal and business groups. Construction began in earnest in 2014. It’s taken a while. But maybe that’s a good thing, said Nasogaluak. It’s given us an opportunity to prepare really well,” he said. The community has had many public discussions on the road’s potential impact, both social and environmental. And it’s getting ready for visitors. A southern company has donated 2,000 cans of brightly coloured paint to spruce up the place. The local bed and breakfast has added rooms. Tuk is developing RV parking sites and
public facilities, such as toilets. It’s also estimated a reliable route for supplies will reduce the cost of living in Tuk by about $1.5 million a year. That’s the equivalent of $1,500 in savings for every man, woman and child in town. The road is likely to boost economic activity in the area by reducing transportation costs, said Schumann. It’s an example of the kind of infrastructure the N.W.T. desperately needs. “Our infrastructure deficit is horrendous,’’ he said. The Inuvik-Tuk road is only the start of the territory’s requests. It’s been looking for an allweather road from Yellowknife into the heart of the territory, where some of the richest mineral deposits anywhere in the world await, linking up to a port on Nunavut’s western coast. It would also like a road reaching up the Mackenzie Valley to open that region for tourism and development. “Every dollar invested by the federal government into this type of infrastructure in the territories is not only going to benefit us, it’s going to benefit all Canadians,’’ Schumann said. But for now, Inuvik-Tuk is cause enough for celebration, said Nasogaluak. “Everywhere you go, somebody’s saying it’s two months, it’s one month — now we’re down to days,” he said. “A lot of people are excited and we’re going to have quite a celebration.’’

CHRIS CHAN Hi! I’m Chris, Kamloops resident for over 30 years and rugby enthusiast. For me, being a member of this community is a lot like being in a rugby team. We all look after each other, we are proud of who we are, and no one gets left behind. It’s important for me and my family to support our community, not only through excellent groups such as the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, Kamloops Pride and Rotary but we also buy local produce, support local eateries and sample our local wineries as much as we can!

REAL ESTATE HEADWINDS EMERGE The Canadian real estate industry is still performing well, according to the 2018 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report published by PwC Canada and the Urban Land Institute. Despite the industry’s steady performance, interviewees shared a concern of potential headwinds resulting in some real estate investors rebalancing their portfolios and others taking a more defensive posture. Affordability concerns remain a dominant theme for residential real estate in Toronto and Vancouver and the report discusses rapid development outside urban centres across the country. The report also finds investors,
developers and homeowners are rethinking how they approach their real estate investments, from ambitious intensification plans, to building communities, to investments outside major urban centres due to increased focus on new transit-centric hubs.

I have been working with Kelly for about 6 months. I was picky and had certain criteria that had to be met. Kelly was extremely patient and when a house came on the market I knew instantly it was the one for me. Kelly acted fast, carefully pointed out advantages and disadvantages of the property and negotiated a fair price. Kelly was always a phone call away and made the purchase of my first home exciting and non stressful. I would recommend Kelly to anyone. - Jason M.

DRIVEWAY KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE
TOYOTA CAMRY UNDERGOES RADICAL SURGERY IN 2018
The new Toyota Camry isn’t much longer than the outgoing model, but it stretches the distance between the front and rear wheels by about 7.5 centimetres. The overall look is far more youthful.
Toyota’s family car takes on competing sedans and utility vehicles MALCOLM GUNN wheelbasemedia.com
D
on’t believe everything you hear or read about family sedans being overrun by utility wagons of every size and description. The 2018 Toyota Camry shows there’s still an abundance of life in the traditional family four-door. The eighth-generation Camry that’s now on sale has undergone what can be considered Toyota’s version of radical surgery. Nearly all the car’s bits and pieces are produced from fresh molds and stampings, yet the car still manages to remain, well, Camry-like.
That’s critically important for a vehicle that year after year (for the past 15) tops the midsize sedan field in popularity. It was the choice of 400,000 North American buyers in 2016. To update its long-standing superstar, Toyota extended the length by about 2.5 centimetres and the width by a bit less than that. The distance between the front and rear wheels, however, has grown by a generous 7.6 centimetres, which translates into more interior legroom. The roofline is slightly lower, as are the seating positions, which according to Toyota means a lower centre of gravity. The Camry platform is 30 per cent stiffer than that of the previous generation. Toyota claims the new architecture adds a “fun
driving experience that plays on all the senses.” That’s marketing jargon, but part of that improved sensory feeling includes a new 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 203 to 206 horsepower (depending on the model) and 186 pound-feet of torque. That’s 25 to 28 more horsepower and 16 more pound-feet than the previous 2.5. Optional is a 3.5-litre V-6 with an output of 301 horses and 267 pound-feet, up from 2017’s 3.5 that was rated at 268/248. For both engines, power is directed to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Note that, unlike most of the competition, both powerplants are naturally aspirated (non-turbocharged). They are also at the
thrifty end of the fuel-economy scale, especially the four-cylinder that delivers a rating of 8.1 l/100 km in city, 5.7 on the highway and 6.9 combined. Want better? The 2018 Camry Hybrid combines a 2.5-litre fourcylinder with a 118-horsepower electric motor to generate a net 208 horsepower. The base Hybrid LE uses lithium-ion battery technology and achieves 4.9 l/100 km in the city, 4.8 highway and 4.9 combined, which is way up from 2017’s 5.6/6.2/5.9 numbers. Interestingly, the better equipped SE and XLE Hybrid trims are fitted with older-technology nickel-metal hydride batteries. Economy in those models takes about a 10 per cent hit in
combined city/highway use when compared to the lithium-ion cells. Pricing for the base Camry L — one of five gasoline-model trim levels — starts at $28,200 ($33,100 for the Hybrid LE), including destination charges. The L, LE and SE provide all the basics plus a number of active-safety technologies (same as the 2018 Honda Accord). The top-end XSE and XLE are loaded with premium content, including dual-zone climate control, heated and leather-trimmed seats and a JBL-brand audio system with navigation system. As the shift to utility vehicles shows no signs of abating, Toyota seems more determined to take them on by infusing plenty of styling, comfort, fuel efficiency and performance into its star sedan.

Dan Condon and son Alex recently opened a new pottery studio, Redemption Pottery and Tile, at 340C Twelfth Ave., off Battle Street behind the Fireplace Centre. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Retirement Redemption — downtown pottery studio a passion project for former architect equipment to turn the space into a creative hub for potters in the community. He still owns that house. “They have 40 members there and put through 300 to 400 kids a year, students,” he said. “It’s just been really successful.” Redemption Pottery and Tile opened about six months ago. The space is large enough for the Condons to share with another potter, which is something they’re considering. Retail and studio space differentiates the Condons’ business model from other local potters. “What most potters do is they go to shows. They do it out of their house and then they go to shows,” Condon said. “Because of that, they can only sell at certain times of the year, so you tend to

have a lot of sales around Christmas. But other times of the year, you’re relying on your stuff to be in gift stores. It’s actually really challenging for potters to get their stuff anywhere someone is going to regularly see it. The idea here is you actually have a place that people can come to.” Condon said physical space is expensive and “pottery doesn’t pay” but he’s hoping the tile-side of his business will cover the bills. Either way, he’s in it for the love of pottery, not necessarily for the money. “We may not be in a big enough market here,” he said. Redemption Pottery and Tile is located at 340C Twelfth Ave. For more information, go online to redemptionpottery.ca or call 250-631-7113.

ome buy a boat, others buy a kiln. Pottery is Don Condon’s retirement project. “It’s become a hobby,” the owner of Redemption Pottery and Tile told KTW. “It’s sort of like buying a boat. Every weekend, you go to your boat and you throw a bucket of money at your boat and then after a few years, you can still sell everything.” The former architect recently moved from Terrace to Kamloops and opened the pottery studio and store downtown behind the Fireplace Centre, where he and son Alex design custom tiles, functional
dishes and artistic pieces. While pottery started as a side gig to Condon’s career, it eventually took on a life of its own and blossomed into a business. “One year, I sold $7,000 worth of pottery on the side,” he said. “After working 60 hours a week as an architect, I was like, ‘This is stupid.’ I had no friends.” That was about 20 years ago and there weren’t many potters in Terrace at the time — but things were about to change. In 2006, Condon rallied together a group of other home-based potters and invested in a “really old” house, which he purchased for just $29,000.

A B.C. Labour Relations Board arbitrator has declined to side with a union seeking to declare construction at Highland Valley Copper is contrary to its contract. Steelworkers Local 7619, which represents the 1,000 unionized workers at the mine located about 50 kilometres southwest of Kamloops, filed a grievance against the company. “Mr. Beblow [Corey Beblow, co-chair of the union’s contracting out committee] contends that the majority of the disputed work could
contract out is justifiable under the circumstances.

and should have been performed by Highland Valley Copper,” arbitrator Vince Ready wrote in his decision. The union sought a declaration the work should have been done by union workers, including an order the mine pay to the union all the wages that should have been
earned by its members on two multimillion dollar capital projects. Steelworkers was correct the work is normally performed by its members, Ready said, nevertheless ruling the mine was justified in contracting on the two projects, a replacement for a crusher backstop and a creek diversion
project. The work included trades work on concrete, carpentry and electrical. “Given this collective agreement focus on urgency and manpower availability . . . particularly within the prescribed tight time frames, the employer’s decision to contract out is justifiable under the circumstances,” Ready said.
Think like a Landlord There are several different types of investments that can help Canadians grow their wealth. Two of the most common are purchasing an income property and investing in the stock market. We tend to buy these investments for the same reason: looking for some combination of income and long term growth. With increased technology, stock market investors can check their performance monthly, weekly, daily, … even by the minute. While it can be exciting to watch your stock picks go up, it is more unsettling to watch them come down. Investor psychology can start to take over with doubt, worry, and potentially even selling in a panic. We see this often which is one reason why stock markets are not rational. A company can beat earnings projections and we see the stock price inexplicably fall.
On the flip side, how often do landlords check the price of their investment property? They do their research, have a budget and buy a property with the mindset that the rental income will offset the expenses of property taxes, insurance, maintenance and potential mortgage. There is the unknown of sudden repairs and vacancies to deal with as well. This all translates into risk for the investor, however they know that over the long term, real estate values tend to go up. This is not to say that real estate is immune to price shocks. Vancouver last year and Toronto this year both suffered major price corrections over 10%. All of Canada was hit hard in the late 1970s and early 1980s when interest rates soared and home ownership become unaffordable for many. So why the difference in psychology? Maybe it is because real estate is tangible. You can see it, walk through it and have the keys that go with it. Perhaps it's because you can sell a stock in just a few clicks, whereas real estate has a longer sale process. Potentially the costs of

buying and selling real estate deter investors from selling in a panic. In the end, the objective is the same. To invest in assets that will grow over the long term and increase your wealth. We find that investors with portfolios of stocks and funds are most successful in meeting their financial goals when they think like a landlord. They check their statements and enjoy seeing their "rent" in the form of interest and dividends paying into their account regularly. They avoid being concerned when investment values fluctuate over the short term and focus on the end game. There are precautions that need to be taken with investing, whether in the markets or buying a rental property. As always, we recommend you consult with a professional advisor beforehand. Benjamin Graham once said "In the short term, the market is a voting machine, but in the long term, it is a weighting machine." Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

Entrepreneurs and small businesses need capital to work with when it’s time to get off the ground or get to the next level — but commercial banks aren’t always an option for first-time borrowers. “A lot of times, people aren’t able to secure financing through a bank for a number of different reasons and we’re usually the next option from there,” said Blair Gray, Thompson Country manager for Community Futures. Community Futures has 34 offices throughout the province and focuses on rural economic development. The organization provides loans and information to smallto-medium-sized businesses and community initiatives and last year lent nearly $7.5 million to borrowers. “We really want to be the central hub for the
region for anyone that has questions around small business and rural economic development,” Gray said. “If someone in the community is looking at starting a business, we want them to come to us first.” The focus on rural development stems from how economic development funds are traditionally distributed. “I think a lot of provincial and federal funding can get divvied out to the bigger centres, so it’s important that our smaller communities benefit from economic development and have projects that enhance our communities, because they’re just as important as any larger centre,” Gray said. Loans can be anything from large initiatives that involve partnerships with other lending organizations to help for 4-H clubs. Gray will be at the
upcoming LinkUp: Kamloops Business Development Summit event and hopes anyone thinking about starting or expanding a business finds him. • LinkUp: Kamloops Business Development Summit is in its second year and will feature 19 organizations sharing information about their services to local business owners. “What we do is bring as many of the resources that are available to business into one place on one day so business owners can hear from all of them and decide whether they have something to offer,” said Jim Anderson, executive director of Venture Kamloops. The one-day event will be broken up into four seminars on financing, provincial and federal support, community support
and grant funding, with a keynote address by architect Melissa Higgs. “The theme we wanted to convey this year is the spirit of collaboration,” Anderson said. “And there are tonnes of opportunities for businesses to work together on things, to share ideas — there are all sorts of ways to collaborate — and that’s the message Melissa brings.” In between the seminars and speakers will be tradeshow-style networking breaks during which business owners and support organizations can connect directly. The event will take place on Thursday, Nov. 23, at the Coast Kamloops Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. Tickets are available online at venturekamloops.com/link-up.

llan Connor’s university soccer career was over, the Kamloops goalkeeper having played his last match for the TRU WolfPack in 2010. One remaining year of eligibility, after donning gloves for the Pack in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2010, was to be left unused. Then WolfPack bench boss John Antulov, who has coached Connor sporadically since he was 18, got wind the 32-year-old shotstopper — who works in IT for Horizon North — was transferring to TRU from Surrey-based Stenberg
College to finish his online schooling. “We had a few conversations about the possibility of coming back and helping out,” Connor said. “Two months before the season, we finally made the decision — OK, I’m going to come back and play my final year.” On Sunday, the husky goalkeeper summoned Peter Schmeichel in a penalty-kick shootout, making two jawdropping saves to propel his WolfPack to a 3-2 victory over the UBC Thunderbirds in the bronzemedal game at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship at Hillside Stadium. It was the first U Sports medal in WolfPack soccer history and only the second in TRU history,
with the men’s volleyball squad having won bronze in 2008. “It’s pretty big for me to be a part of this and to finally bring home some hardware,” said Connor, whose wife and sevenmonth-old boy were watching from the sidelines. Connor was part of WolfPack teams that fell short of medals at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Soccer Championship in 2007 and 2008. In 2007, he helped TRU to a penalty-kick victory over Capilano in the British Columbia Colleges’ Athletic Association title tilt. The Pack placed fourth at nationals in Halifax. TRU hosted the CCAA championship in 2008 and placed fifth. It seemed Lubo Magdolen of
Kamloops was the No. 1 choice keeper heading into the Canada West playoffs, but Connor replaced him in a 3-1 loss to UBC in a conference semifinal and kept the job. He was protecting the old onion bag when TRU won Canada West bronze with a 2-0 victory over the Alberta Golden Bears of Edmonton in Vancouver on Nov. 4. Alberta is the nation’s third-ranked team. Connor was between the pipes when the Pack upset the nation’s fifth-ranked team, the York Tigers of Toronto, in a U Sports quarterfinal on Thursday at Hillside. TRU, which qualified for nationals as the host team, held a 2-1 lead on the country’s No. 1-ranked team, the Cape Breton Capers, at halftime in their U
Sports semifinal clash in front of about 800 fans on Friday. The Capers ran away with the WolfPack’s gold-medal dreams, scoring three straight goals, including two in the first half of extra time, to deflate TRU and its orange-and-black clad fans who braved freezing temperatures on a chilly Kamloops night. “In the room at halftime, we knew the magnitude of it and how close we were,” said Ryan Glanville, a 34-year-old WolfPack forward from Williams Lake. “It’s going to sting for quite some time knowing we were that close, one half away from being in the national final, and that’s the part that’s going to be tough to digest.” See CONNOR, A22

rivals from Kamloops. Regrouping to chase bronze, knowing gold was the goal, was no easy task for the WolfPack, who had never beaten the T-Birds. “It was a tough turnaround for us,” Connor said. “We were right there.” UBC, which finished atop the Pacific Division with a record of 10-4-1, scored in the 85th minute to secure a 2-2 tie with TRU at Hillside on Sept. 3. TRU held a 1-0 lead on UBC in Vancouver heading into the 82nd minute on Oct. 13, but collapsed and surrendered three goals to lose 3-1. When UBC erased a 2-0 lead on Sunday, an advantage gained on goals by Ryan Glanville and Canada West player of the year Mitch Popadynetz, the WolfPack wondered if history was destined to repeat itself. “That’s exactly it,” Connor said. “A lot of us were thinking that right then and there. Here we go again.” After regulation, the match went straight to penalty kicks. Connor, who was beaten on a penalty kick by Kyle Sohi in the 69th minute, would get another chance at stopping the UBC forward from the spot in the shootout. The WolfPack goalkeeper guessed correctly in regulation, diving to his right in an attempt to foil Sohi, but couldn’t get his paws on the ball. “Our guys, when they’re comfortable going to one spot, they don’t really want to change it,” Connor said. “I kind of gambled he’s going to go to the same side again.” He did. Connor stopped the shot.
Popadynetz and Thomas Lantmeeters scored for TRU. Glanville missed the target. When Connor dove to his left to parry away Patrick Metcalfe’s attempt, all WolfPack forward James Fraser had to do was score from the spot to send TRU and its fans into euphoria. The Penticton product shot straight down the middle to beat UBC goalkeeper Chad Bush, who dove left, to incite celebration on the pitch. “The whole week, the fans and the support we got from the community was amazing,” Connor said. “I can’t say enough about having that many fans and they were so loud. It was definitely a home-field advantage.” Connor said he may have had some help from above, too. Errol Wild, a passionate volunteer and well-known figure on the Kamloops soccer scene, died in August 2009. “Errol was a big part of my life, a father figure to me,” Connor said. “I lived with him throughout pretty much all my college days. He was my coach. He was my mentor. It was a really tough loss to have him pass away. Connor’s son, Oliver Wild, was given the middle name to honour Errol. “[University College of the Cariboo/TRU alumnus] Tim Hutton said it, too — Errol was looking down helping us out,” Connor said.
EXTRA TIME
WolfPack players Glanville, Popadynetz of Maple Ridge and Colton Walker of Sicamous were named to the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship all-star team. The WolfPack won the Fair Play Award.

Cotter, Morris rink keep Olympic dreams alive BLACK PRESS
It’s a family story for John Morris and his Vernon and Kelowna teammates, only they’re hoping for a different ending this time. Four years ago, Morris, Jim Cotter of Kamloops and Tyrel Griffith went through the pre-trials to qualify for the 2017 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings in Winnipeg and made it all the way to the final before losing to eventual Olympic goldmedallist Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie.

It takes a few years, so to get back there feels absolutely phenomenal,” said Cotter, who abdicated last-rock duties to Morris on Friday. “Absolutely, [the 2013 trials final loss to Jacobs] is a motivator. To get that close lights a fire under you and you definitely want to put yourself back in that position.” Skip Karla Thompson of Kamloops and her rink finished 1-5 in pool play to miss the playoffs in Summerside.

With the victory, Morris, Cotter, Schneider, Griffith and Epp have booked their tickets for the 2017 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings, beginning Dec. 2 in Ottawa — the city in which John Morris grew up and to which he still has many ties. “It feels awesome.

Olympic gold in 2010 playing third for Kevin Martin, said this team learned a lesson from the 2013 run to the final that it will put into play in Ottawa. “We were sure determined in 2013 and I actually visualized playing my old team (Martin) in the final, and we actually played them in the semis,” said Morris, who will be playing in his fifth consecutive Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings. “There were just a lot of emotions in that game and I think we let off the gas pedal a bit and we weren’t at our sharpest in the final. So, we’re going to prepare for a grind for the entire event and we won’t let up one inch until the very last rock is thrown. That will be the biggest difference.” And while the team has been inconsistent at the beginning of the 2017-2018 season, Morris has no doubt that his team is ready to put on the Maple Leaf and travel to Pyeongchang, South Korea, for the 2018 Winter Olympics. “You bet,” he said. “We’ve been ready from the start of the season, and we’re just starting to put it all together right now. We’re a hundred per cent ready.” The Home Hardware Road to the Roar is the
final qualifying event for teams to reach the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings, Dec. 2 to 10 in Ottawa, where Canada’s four-player curling teams for the 2018 Winter Olympics will be decided. Bottcher won the B-side final and will join the men’s field in Ottawa. The men’s field will be rounded out by reigning Tim Hortons Brier and World Men’s champ Brad Gushue of St John’s, 2014 Olympic gold-medallist Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., two-time world champ Kevin Koe of Calgary, Steve Laycock of Saskatoon, John Epping of Toronto, and Winnipeg teams skipped by Mike McEwen and Reid Carruthers. The women’s side will feature Road to the Roar qualifiers Krista McCarville of Thunder Bay and Julie Tippin of Woodstock, Ont., along with current Scotties Tournament of Hearts and World Women’s champ Rachel Homan of Ottawa, 2014 Olympic goldmedallist Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, Michelle Englot of Winnipeg, Alli Flaxey of Toronto, Chelsea Carey of Calgary, Casey Scheidegger of Lethbridge and Val Sweeting of Edmonton.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Norm Healy on Monday, November 6, 2017 in Maple Ridge, BC after a brief battle with cancer. Beloved husband of 46 years to Dawn, loving father to Veronica, Stephanie, Joey (Lisa) and Jacinta (Brad), adored grandpa to Emma, Logan, Jared, Ella, Owen and Madelyn. Also survived by his loving sisters Pat (Skip) and Karol (Wayne) as well as nieces and nephews in BC and extended family in Australia. Predeceased by his mother, father and brother. After moving to Kamloops in 1986 to work for various automotive and heavy duty equipment parts dealers, Norm and Dawn moved to Fort St. John in 2001 where Norm worked for Inland Kenworth until his retirement in February, 2017. He and Dawn moved to the Lower Mainland to be closer to their children and grandchildren but sadly, Norm was only able to enjoy this time for a few months. Norm loved Christmas, going to car races, everything about trucks, snow, owls, watching the weather channel and playing with his grandkids. We were so incredibly blessed to have had such a beautiful man in our lives, so thoughtful and caring and a true representative of what every man should aspire to be. At Norm’s request, there will be no formal service. A gathering for family and friends will be held in December when all of the Christmas decorations and lights are up. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the BC Cancer Agency or the Ridge Meadows Hospice Association.
