TNRD has enacted $10 FOI fee
SKEETER SEASON IS HERE High water could mean heavy itching

ith multiple and late peaks of the rivers, this year may prove to be a particularly bad mosquito season. The latest helicopter campaign, which sprayed larvicide in flooded pools along riverbanks, took place in late June, conducted by BWP Consulting. Cheryl Phippen, who owns the company contracted by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to reduce mosquito populations, said her work is normally completed much earlier. “The big difference for us this year is that it’s July and we’re still going hard,” she said. “Even when we have these multiple peaks, it usually means a mid-May or early June wrap-up.” Mosquito treatments are undertaken across See TNRD, A6 the TNRD, but largely upon the riverbanks of the

North Thompson and South Thompson rivers. Martin Dickson administers the process each year. He is the environmental services coordinator with the TNRD. Dickson explained where the treatments are done. “You’ll get seepage from the river and it’ll basically form standing water in the lower lying fields. But also, the edges of rivers that aren’t contiguous with the flow of the river, just so we aren’t impacting any fish-bearing waters,” he said. That standing water wets mosquito eggs, which hatch into larvae and later develop into adults, which then start feeding. “It’s so much easier to reduce mosquitoes when they’re in such a concentrated state, versus when they’re adults and fly off,” Dickson said. Phippen anticipates a flood of adult mosquito activity within the next week to 10 days. “We’ve really had very little adult activity so far, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to

have a lot of mosquitoes,” she said. Should this year’s mild weather continue with lower temperatures, Phippen said those adults may live until the fall, but hot weather at the right time could also wipe out the bulk of the bugs. “Some typical summer heat would mean that even if some adults do emerge, they would die quickly. That could potentially be a good thing,” she said. If they do emerge, Phippen recommends using a mosquito repellent containing DEET, rather than the “voodoo ones out there that don’t work,” she said. “They make a ton of money on something that does nothing,” she said, noting repellents containing DEET are safe to use if instructions are properly followed. The TNRD has a 24-hour mosquito advisory line at 250-372-5700. Residents can also send an email to bwp@shaw.ca.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has implemented a $10 application fee for Freedom of Information requests, following the lead of the provincial government. The fee comes despite public backlash over the provincial decision and the TNRD’s stated intention to be more transparent in the wake of a forensic audit last year that found a “culture of inappropriate spending” under former CAO Sukh Gill. The audit, which cost $500,000, was ordered as a result of a Kamloops This Week investigation into spending at the regional district under Gill between 2015 and January 2020. TNRD general manager of corporate and legislative services Deanna Campbell said the decision was operational and made by herself, CAO Scott Hildebrand and deputy corporate officer Agnese Saat. The TNRD board did not debate the issue nor vote or decide to implement the fee. One director is planning to request the fee be removed when the board next meets on July 14. “I think freedom of information should be free,” TNRD Area P (Rivers and the Peaks) director Mel Rothenburger said. Rothenburger said he was not aware of the new fee until contacted by KTW. He was critical of the provincial government’s initial implementation of the fee.

Mrs. Morgan’s grade 6/7 class from Pacific Way Elementary are the ones behind this project. They not only put the plans in motion to make the pollinator garden come to life, they also funded it thorugh grants and fundraising. The students partnered with the City to make the pollinator garden a reality and researched and designed everything from the plants they wanted, to their design and placement in the garden. The team cut the turf out by hand, tilled the soil, planted the plants, and installed the fence around the garden, working alongside the City's Parks team. The planting was followed by an education component with the rest of the classes at Pacific Way to explain why pollination is so important and the class has entered their project into "Our Canada Project" for a chance to win $3000.

How many Kamloops residents are on the family doctor waitlist? IT’S A QUESTION, AMONG OTHERS, GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO ANSWER JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
British Columbians without family doctors advised to add their name to a waitlist by calling 8-1-1. However, once they register for that waitlist, they remain in the dark as to when they may receive primary care. On May 26, Kamloops This Week reached out to the Ministry of Health’s media relations department, following an inquiry from a reader about where they stand on a waitlist to get a family physician. The Kamloops resident indicated they had lost their family doctor four years ago and registered through 8-1-1 to get on a waitlist for a new physician. The individual has been waiting ever since. When they tried to find out where they stand on the waitlist and how long it might take to get a new doctor or nurse practitioner, no clear answer was provided. KTW reached out to the ministry and, despite numerous emails and phone calls
between May 26 and July 4, has been unable to obtain basic information about the system. In a May 26 media request, KTW asked: • How many people in Kamloops and across B.C. are on a waitlist for a family doctor or nurse practitioner? • Are people are allowed to know where they stand on the waitlist? • Is a waitlist system effective if doctors take on some patients via other avenues (such as word of mouth)? • What is the longest a British Columbian has been on the waitlist? • How often does the waitlist turn over? The ministry was told personal information was not being sought. Ministry of Health senior public affairs officer Amy Crofts provided the following statement to KTW two weeks later, on June 9, and requested it be attributed to the Ministry of Health. The statement did not address any of KTW’s questions: “The Health Connect Registry (HCR) is a provincial system that allows British

Columbians and their families to register for a family doctor or nurse practitioner in a Primary Care Network. “It is part of the government’s broader strategy to make sure every British Columbian who needs health care has access to family doctors, nurse practitioners and other primary care providers. In the Kamloops area, we continue to see substantial success attaching patients to primary care providers. The HCR is still in its preliminary phase, but it will become an important tool to match patients with primary care services in their community.” KTW called and spoke to Crofts on June 10, June 17 and July 4, each time requesting more information and each time Croft stated she would look into the matter. The only additional statement was provided on July 4: “With regards to your questions, we provided the statement below [previous statement attached]. We are happy to consider any other questions, but our response to your questions and follow-up stands.”

TNRD has received 10 FOI requests this year; had 22 in 2021
When?
Tuesday, July 19, 2022, 7:00 pm
Where?
Council Chambers, City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West
Why?
Kamloops City Council will hold a Public Hearing to consider the following proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 55.
Purpose:
1. Zoning Bylaw No. 55, as amended, is further amended in Division 2, Interpretation, Section 2.2, Definitions, Subjection 2.2.1 by repealing the definition of “Energized Outlet” in its entirety and replacing it with the following definition: ‘“Energized Outlet” means a connected point in an electrical wiring installation at which current is taken and a source of voltage is available for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.’ 2. Zoning Bylaw No. 55, as amended, is further amended in Division 4, Off-Street Parking, by the sequential addition of Section 4.22, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Requirements, as follows: ‘4.22 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS 4.22.1 For all Residential Use developments, a minimum of one space per dwelling unit or the total number of residential parking spaces required, whichever is less, shall include an Energized Outlet capable of providing Level 2 Charging or a higher charging level intended for Electric Vehicle charging except: a) visitor parking spaces; and b) residential suites. 4.22.2 The provision of Energized Outlets, provided pursuant to section 4.22.1 above, shall be consistent with the City’s EV Charging Infrastructure Guidelines for Residential Development, as amended.’ 3. Zoning Bylaw No. 55, as amended, is further amended in Division 4, Off-Street Parking, Section 4.7, Permitted Parking Space Reductions, Subsection 4.7.1, by repealing Table 4 in its entirety. The table will be replaced without the following: provision of Energized Outlets* capable of providing a minimum Level 2 Charging for 10% Electric Vehicles for 20% of required residential parking stalls (excluding visitor parking stalls) * For Energized Outlets, the Development, Engineering, and Sustainability Director may specify requirements for technical matters, including, but not limited to, metering and performance standards for Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems (EVEMS).
•
If approved, this bylaw shall come into full force and effect on January 1, 2023. When residential developments are built with EV-ready capabilities, a homeowner, occupant, or property manager would be able to install a Level 2 EV charger in the future without having to retrofit or upgrade the electrical service, which can be a barrier due to its cost and complexity. The proposed EV charging infrastructure requirements support key priorities in the City’s EV and E-Bike Strategy and Community Climate Action Plan and are consistent with best practice policies in the Residential Electric Vehicle Charging: A Guide for Local Governments. They also serve to prepare our community for the Province’s ZeroEmission Vehicles (ZEV) Regulation, which requires automakers to meet an escalating annual percentage of new light-duty ZEV sales and leases, reaching 26% of light-duty vehicle sales by 2026, 90% by 2030, and 100% by 2035. The federal government also has targets for all new light-duty cars and passenger trucks to be zero emissions by 2035. Questions?
For relevant background material contact the Climate and Sustainability Division at 250-828-3857 or sustainable@kamloops.ca. The proposed bylaw can be viewed at Kamloops.ca/CouncilAgenda. (June 14, 2022, Regular Council Meeting, Agenda Item 8.10, Attachment “A”) or at City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West, between the hours of 8:30 am and 3:30 pm, Monday–Friday (excluding statutory holidays).

In an opinion piece for CFJC-TV reviewing Premier John Horgan’s record, Rothenburger called Horgan’s “erosion” of Freedom of Information access “inexcusable.” He told KTW the provincial FOI fee was brought in because of perception that many FOI applications are frivolous and it was an effort to reduce frivolous applications and cover costs, though he does not think those arguments have merit. This week, KTW filed a FOI request and was told it would be subject to a $10 fee implemented as a result of legislative changes. Saat said the changes to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act came into effect on Nov. 25, 2021. Campbell said local governments qualify as public bodies under legislation and can choose to charge the application fee for general FOIPPA requests, which are nonpersonal. She said 20 local governments — including Vancouver, Whistler, Pemberton, Surrey and the Regional District of Central Okanagan — are charging the fee. The City of Kamloops opted against implementing the application fee. City privacy officer Stephanie Nichols said the city felt administration of the fee would result in more costs than the fee itself. The city receives about 70 FOI requests per year. The TNRD’s Campbell called it a “business decision” and compared it to
a building permit application fee. Money collected goes into the legislative services administration budget. “We’ve opted to do it mostly because we’ve seen an increase in getting FOI requests,” Campbell said. “Obviously, that comes with an added cost to us. We see the $10 application fee as fairly minimal and so that’s just something that we implemented as soon as the legislation was updated.” So far this year, the regional district has received 10 FOI requests. In 2021, the regional district received 22 FOI requests. Campbell said years past have seen between two and three such requests. Some requests — including financial information like former CAO Sukh Gill’s expenses obtained in the past by KTW through FOI requests — are deemed public and, although they initially come through the FOI stream, are not classified in that category. Campbell said Saat’s role includes processing the requests, among other responsibilities, such as filling in for Campbell. She said some FOI requests can be labour-intensive, while others are simpler. They can include time from additional staff, depending on the request. According to a provincial explainer on the $10 fee, the province stated it receives among the highest number of requests in the country, with more than 10,000 requests each year, including a more than 40 per cent increase between 2018 and 2020. Rothenburger said it may discourage some
people from seeking information about government decisions. “I just feel that access to information should be as free and easy to get at as possible in a democracy and in a transparent government,” he said. Campbell said she does not see the fee as a barrier. She said there are some instances when the fee could be waived. Campbell said that if the TNRD found that people were not willing or wanting to pay the fee, staff would also revisit the decision. “That would go against our goal, which is to ensure that records are made publicly available and that the public can access records when they make an FOI request,” she said. “So, absolutely, if we started to find that over time this was resulting in deterring applicants from making an FOI request, we would absolutely revisit the fee.” Campbell said the TNRD is working on changes to its privacy and FOI bylaw in the near future and she anticipates more specific information around the application fee to be included. KTW asked for its fee to be waived in the public interest, but the request was declined. “The only fees that may be waived under the public interest exception in the legislation — if the FOI head determines the request is in the public interest — would be the fees that would be charged to search for, collect, copy and prepare the records if the time required to do so exceeds three hours, not the application fee,” Saat said.

Puppies were stolen after sudden death DAINYA WATSON DIED IN HER BROCKLEHURST HOME ON JUNE 28. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, EIGHT PUPPIES SHE HAD BEEN BREEDING WERE STOLEN FROM HER FRONT YARD CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
KTW EDITOR
editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Shortly after a Kamloops woman’s sudden death at home this week, somebody stole eight puppies from the front yard of the deceased, Dainya Watson, 33, died in her home in the 2500-block of Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst in the early-morning hours of Tuesday, June 28. Watson’s sister, 29-year-old Kearston Burton-Weatherhead of Chilliwack, said within an hour or so of police and medical personnel leaving the home at about 5 a.m. tor 6 a.m., a thief or thieves stole eight Alapaha blue blood bulldogs that were in Watson’s front yard. Burton-Weatherhead said her sister bred the puppies as a business. There were four male and four female puppies. Three families had already paid for the dogs and were scheduled to pick them up this week. She said Watson lived with two roommates, both of whom were in the house and neither of whom witnessed the puppies being taken. Burton-Weatherhead said she is not aware of any security footage of the theft, but did note a vehicle of interest was seen in the area — a silver or black
2000 Honda Odyssey mini-van. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn confirmed police are investigating. “Police followed up on the information provided, but no puppies were located and it was suggested that most of the puppies may have been sold or gifted previously,” Evelyn said. “Another report indicated that someone in a black van had stolen seven puppies.” Burton-Weatherhead is asking for the public to be on the lookout for the puppies. She can be reached on Facebook by searching her name, while the Kamloops RCMP investigation file is 22-22226. The RCMP can be reached by phone at 250-828-3000. Watson is survived by two children: a 14-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl. Burton-Weatherhead said her older sister had a degree in social work and was passionate about animals, in particular dogs and horses. She had been breeding and raising dogs for a number of years. Watson was born in New Westminster in the summer of 1989 and raised in Mission until her family moved to Chilliwack. Watson moved to Kamloops with her fiancé and two children about six years ago “Dainya’s passing was very sudden and unexpected,” Burton-Weatherhead said. “Her family and children miss her and love her.”
Dainya Watson (above) was breeding these Alapaha blue blood bulldog puppies, which were stolen from the front yard of a home in the 2500-block of Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst on June 28.

Do I keep my inheritance in a separation? In some cases, but not all. If you are in a relationship and you receive an inheritance, you may need to consider a Marriage/Cohabitation Agreement. These agreements serve to formalize expectations regarding use/ownership of property while parties live together, and if/when they separate. A beneficiary planning to use all or a portion of their inheritance to purchase real property with their spouse should consider registering as tenants in common with their spouse, as opposed to joint tenants. A tenancy in common can be registered in uneven proportions. For example, if Spouse A contributed 30% of the purchase and ongoing costs, and Spouse B 70%, then the title could be registered as 30/70 between them. This tactic ensures that the ownership percentages will accurately reflect the portion contributed by each spouse. Evidence of the intention of the spouses regarding ownership of an inheritance is vital, and formalizing this understanding with a written agreement adds additional certainty. If you have questions, we're here help.

An electric election 2022 shaping up
T
he 2005 mayoral campaign pitting Terry Lake against free-spending Al McNair and former Mountie Pete Backus was an exciting time in civic politics. What was initially billed as a battle for the ages, what was expected to be a neck-and-neck race between the very well-known mover and shaker McNair and the very popular veterinarian-cum-politician Lake became anything but as Lake coasted into city hall with 57 per cent of balllots cast, amassing more votes than his two challengers combined. Who can forget the image of a shell-shocked McNair entering city hall on election night, Lake’s massive victory already confirmed? The only consolation McNair could hope for was a second-place finish. “Come on,” he whispered as he watched the results come in, “I gotta beat Backus.” Alas, it was not to be as the early favourite became the third-place mayoralty candidate. Since then, both McNair and Backus have passed away and Lake has progressed through various career changes — MLA, cabinet minister, federal election candidate and, today, CEO of the BC Care Providers Association. A nail-biter, but an unexpected one, came in the 2011 mayoral race, when challenger Dieter Dudy decided to enter the race, if only to prevent incumbent mayor Peter Milobar from winning by de facto acclamation. The Westsyde farmer evidently

MUSINGS had reams of retail strength from meeting multitudes at the downtown farmers’ market and came as close as possible to upsetting the mayor. Milobar hung on for a 235-vote win — 9,391 vs. 9,156. Had even a third of voters who cast ballots for secondary candidates Gordon Chow (441 votes) and well-known freeman of the land Brian Alexander (251 votes), we would be speaking today of Mayor Dudy’s time in office. Aside from those two elections in 2005 and 2011, the mayoral battles in Kamloops this century have been rather mundane. Milobar won a three-way battle in 2008 with 74 per cent of the vote and he coasted to victory in 2014 by garnering 75 per cent of the voter in a four-way race. When Milobar decamped for provincial politics, it created a byelection in 2017, easily won by Ken Christian, who prevailed in a six-way race by cornering 64 per cent of the vote. A year later, Christian coasted to victory in a two-way race with 84 per cent of the vote. Truth be told, those elections

featured incumbent mayors (and, in 2017, a historically poll-topping councillor and school trustee in Christian) facing opponents with little chance of even keeping the race close, much less winning. This 2022 election, though, is shaping up the be the most intriguing since 2005 — and perhaps of this century. We have a virtually unbeatable mayor deciding to call it a day, opening the door through which three incumbent councillors have walked: Dudy, Sadie Hunter and Arjun Singh. Also seeking the mayor’s chair are businessmen Ray Dhaliwal (who served for a year on council after being elected in the 2017 byelection) and Reid Hamer-Jackson, both of whom have thus far focused mainly on crime and issues relating to homelessness. Hunter’s entry into the race is intriguing on a couple of fronts. She is the first female mayoral candidate in Kamloops in the 21st century. Like Lake before her, Hunter decided on a mayoral run with only one term as city councillor under her belt. Milobar and Christian secured landslide mayoral wins after serving two terms at city hall. Much can change between now and election day, but it would appear Dhaliwal and Hamer-Jackson are battling for similar voters — residents who don’t see the current approach to addressing homelessness and related street issues working, residents who are beyond fed up with (mainly property) crime, residents who want a tougher approach undertaken. Among the three incumbent councillors seeking the mayor’s
office, from this perspective, Dudy would appear to be in a favourable position in that it is more likely that Hunter and Singh will be courting similar voters. Both are seen as progressives with a focus on social issues. Singh’s statement on community safety on his campaign website spells out his position on issues relating to crime, addictions and mental health. Hunter made a point earlier this year of opposing a motion from Coun. Denis Walsh regarding a rural recovery centre study, calling the language in the motion dehumanizing and accusing Walsh of both perpetuating stigma and of “blatant ignorance.” While both Hunter and Singh have been vocal on the social issues file, only Hunter has experienced the struggles many in Kamloops are dealing with today. As Hunter noted in her campaign announcement (and at times previously), she has lived below the poverty line as a single mother and faced the challenge of making ends meet while also living with a physical disability. If Hunter and Singh might appeal to the same voter, does that make Dudy a candidate with no social issue sympathy? Of course not. As he states in his platform on his
campaign website, “We need more outreach, we need complex care facilities, we need more members on our police force, we need to work together.” However, Dudy is more blunt in his assessment of the problem and, I would argue, is not as tightly tied to social issues in the minds of voters as are Hunter and Singh, which could — could — lead to a vote-splitting scenario that benefits Dudy. And he may be right in opining, as he did when speaking to KTW at his April campaign announcement, that he has broader appeal with voters than does Singh. There is also the immense value of his retail politicking — he has for years held conversations with such a large cross-section of voters while manning his stall at the twiceweekly Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market — and a powerful team that includes campaign manager Henry Pejril (who helped Lake, Milobar and Christian to the mayor’s office), Bryce Herman and Lake. Of course, it is early and summer vacation time (when attention on the campaign will, understandably, plummet) is beginning. As of today, we have six people declaring their mayoral candidacy and another 10, by my last count, seeking one of eight council seats. Nominations can be submitted as of Aug. 30 and the deadline to file is Sept. 9. There will be many more candidates to come (my bet is six mayoral and 34 council candidates) and it is probable some of those who have already announced a run won’t actually file by deadline. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TIME FOR ALL OF US TO BE EDUCATED
Editor: Various candidates running for mayor in the Oct. 15 civic election are coming up with different ideas of how to combat drug, homelessness and marginalized populationrelated issues in Kamloops. This is a multi-faceted, complex issue. When I hear someone talking about moving our homeless to a rehab centre in Raleigh, my heart breaks. This is not humane nor helpful to those who are struggling. I have worked in the downtown core for the last 30 years. We have someone riding a bike on a seen significant changes and, sidewalk. during the COVID-19 pandemic, E-bikes are now travelwhen office workers began working ling at high speeds down our remotely from home, some people sidewalks.

And it is not only up to the poliJames Herd Kamloops ticians to find one. It is about all
GET THOSE BIKES OFF THE SIDEWALKS Editor: It is illegal to ride a bicycle on sidewalks, which is why we have posted designated bicycle routes, so why are pedestrians in Kamloops constantly having to get out of the way of cyclists on sidewalks? I have tried to educate some of these folks, but all I receive is profanity in return. When I called the RCMP after almost being hit several times, the woman I talked to laughed and said they were working on it, but not once have I ever seen a Mountie or a city bylaws officer pull over
of us coming together to do some heavy lifting on combating the issues we face. I would ask that people get educated about drug addiction, homelessness and substance abuse. The more research I do, the more I think we have three subsets of the population living on the streets. • Group 1: The vulnerable. There is a large part of the homeless population with mental-health issues. A large number of the men and women suffer from brain injuries and mental-health and addiction issues. With a crumbling healthcare system and lack of funds focused on mental health and addiction, the opioid crisis is running rampant. Most of these people do not choose to be homeless or addicted to drugs/alcohol. This population is my largest concern, as we have failed them. Three decades ago, when we closed institutions, we failed to support them on a regular and continuous basis. • Group 2: Those who need a hand up. There is a subset of the population that has been adversely impacted by the pandemic.

These people just need a hand up with support, affordable housing, career training, etc. • Group 3: The violent predators. This is a small group (I think I have been told less than 10 individuals) who are preying on people in the other two groups. They are doing break and enters, selling drugs, trafficking people and making life difficult for all people in Kamloops. Given our current Criminal Code constraints, one such individual has been arrested 100 times. People need to read up in Supreme Court of Canada decisions that have led to a change in offenders being kept in custody. Three cases to study are the Jordan, Gladue and Zora decisions. The not in my backyard (NIMBY) attitude needs to stop. We need to help these individuals before their lives turns into crises.

The City of Kamloops will spend $750,000 to create a civic facilities master plan. It will apply for grant funding, but fund it through the city’s asset management reserve (which is funded via taxation) should the grant be unsuccessful. City capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city is responsible for 349 buildings, such as recreational facilities, utility buildings, lift stations and more. He said the replacement value is about $1 billion, noting buildings are well-maintained, but long-term capital and maintenance is done on a “reactionary basis.” Crundwell said most buildings were built around the same time and the city has no single source of information. “We also want to look to start treating these assets like a critical network, like our water, sewer and storm assets,” Crundwell said. The price tag of the plan, presented at a recent council meeting, caught the eye of one city councillor. Coun. Arjun Singh questioned how creating a plan could cost $750,000. Crundwell said about half of the money will go toward conducting building assessments,
with major assets prioritized. “A lot of that is building that data and then the other is the plans and what comes out of that,” Crundwell said. “I guess calling it a plan maybe doesn’t do it as much justice. It will be a major decision-making tool.” Coun. Mike O’Reilly questioned how often the plan would be updated. Crundwell said the city’s water, sewer and transportation master plans are updated every two to three years and the civic facilities plan would be similar. He said it would be a living document, in which the city
continually invests. He said that although the cost appears large, getting started is the biggest part. Asked what will change from the city’s current process, the city’s civic operations director, Jen Fretz, said Kamloops currently has more specific plans for HVAC systems or roofing, but noted the master plan would look at the bigger picture. Fretz said the assessments will include examination of the entire building, including structural issues, drainage, electrical capacity and roofing. “The sooner we can identify potential problems and fix them,
the less we will have to do big, sort of, scale things,” Fretz said. “So, if you take a leaking roof, for example. The sooner you can identify the leak and fix the leak, the less you’ll have to do from a whole building perspective. If you just leave it or don’t know about it, then you’re potentially tearing down ceiling tiles, tearing down a wall and all of that kind of thing.” In addition, the information will help the city align priorities, similar to how it manages road projects. For example, if a building needs a new HVAC system, but the roof is good for five more years, both would be done at the same time instead of separately, Fretz said. “Essentially sort of messing up the work that we’ve already tried to do,” she said. The city will apply to the Union of BC Municipalities Canada Community-Building Fund. If approved, the grant would cover the entire cost of the plan. It is unclear when the city could hear back about the results of the application. The proposed draft master plan will be presented to council in late 2024 or earlier.

The City of Kamloops will apply for federal funding to provide education aimed at reducing gun and gang violence. Kamloops is one of the communities pre-identified for funding through the Public Safety Canada Building Safer Communities Fund. City community services manager Tammy Blundell said the funding is being offered to communities across the country. Kamloops qualifies for a maximum of $2 million over
four years and Blundell said the funding would be for custom, community-driven initiatives, noting the city will first hire a co-ordinator. RCMP officers are not allowed to be hired, as per the funding criteria. “It’s strictly addressing crime prevention,” Blundell said, noting Interior and smaller municipalities were among those identified for the program because larger cities already have these types of programs in place. Blundell said Kamloops will look at education programs already existing in Vancouver and work with School District 73, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc
and community organizations. Blundell said an education approach should target young girls in grades 4 through 6. She said it is a vulnerable stage, during which time youth are drawn into gangs. Blundell said the new co-ordinator will have a criminology background and identify and develop programming for Kamloops. Kamloops CAO David Trawin told KTW the funding is not a result of city crime statistics but rather a targeted approach by the federal government to support this type of program in middle-sized communities.
Police watchdog probing sudden death at transit loop KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The province’s police watchdog is investigating an incident in Kamloops involving the death of a man. The Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIOBC) said that on June 29, at about 5 p.m., a passerby noticed some people who appeared to be unconscious at the North Shore transit exchange, which is located on Sydney Avenue, along the
north parking lot of Northills Centre. The passerby reported this to Kamloops RCMP. The IIOBC said that, approximately two hours later, paramedics called for the Kamloops RCMP’s assistance for a possible sudden death at the bus exchange. The IIOBC has begun an investigation to determine what role, if any, police actions or inactions played in the man’s death. The IIOBC is asking any-
one with relevant information about the incident to contact the witness line, tollfree at 1-855-446-8477, or to use the contact form online at iiobc.ca. The IIOBC is the independent civilian oversight agency of the police in British Columbia. It investigates all officerrelated incidents that result in serious harm or death, regardless of whether there is any allegation of wrongdoing.
Substance use survey available KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Addictions Matters Kamloops and a number of other organizations have launched a survey online, with the hopes of opening up conversation about how substance use is perceived in the community. Addictions Matters Kamloops was formed in 2015 and includes community groups, organizations and individuals working in the field of substance use. “Despite deaths from toxic illegal drugs in B.C. at a record high, more research is needed
to understand how stigma and discrimination continues to prevent those affected from seeking help,” a release states. The survey is available to all residents in Kamloops. Results will help to guide future initiatives to reduce stigma with the overall goal of saving lives. The survey is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/ AMKStigmaAssessment. It takes between five and 10 minutes and is available until July 12. Those who complete the survey will be eligible to win one of three $50 gift cards.

Flood risk declining KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The risk of widespread flooding from freshet is minimizing, but flood-protection measures will not be removed in the immediate future with river levels expected to remain high. City of Kamloops utility services manager Greg Wightman said the rivers dropped about 20 centimetres over the Canada Day long weekend, despite rain on Sunday. Crews responded to localized flooding (essentially sucking up puddles around shuttered catch basins) and dikes continued to be
monitored closely due to prolonged freshet (snow and ice melt). Wightman said the rivers are not expected to drop as they would following peaking in a typical year. As a result, the closure of public boat launches and some trails will not be lifted for the foreseeable future. ”Until we have certainty that the river is going to drop and we’re getting into a more stable weather pattern, we’re going to be unable to open it because we’re still just not at a level that allows Kamloops Fire and Rescue to get up and down the river,” he said.

2022 Y Dream Home prize recipients amazed by wins JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
For those who didn’t win this year’s Kamloops Y Dream Home, they will soon be able to find it on the open market. Marilyn Gerow and son Brad Gerow of Kamloops bought the winning ticket for the $1.2-million, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 362 Rue Cheval Noir in Tobiano that was raffled off June 28. Marilyn was on vacation when she learned of the win via a phone call from her son. “We couldn’t believe we had won,” she told KTW. Marilyn said she was excited to find she and Brad had won the home, noting she has
bought tickets every year, with this being the first prize won. They plan to sell the home and split the money, each already having their own houses. Marilyn said her son and daughter-in-law work in Kamloops and have two teenage children and would rather not move out to Tobiano. “But it’s an awesome house. Best they’ve ever done, I think,” she said. Geoff Barker of Kamloops won the 50/50 draw, taking home $464,875. The husband and father of two preschool-aged children said he feels lucky to have won, noting it is a relief to know money is not longer a major issue. Barker said he was at work
when he noticed a missed call about his prize, thinking initially he might have won a dinner. “But it ended up being the big second-place prize,” he said, adding he has never before won a prize as large. More than 30,500 tickets were sold in this year’s Y Dream Home Lottery, with 95 per cent of tickets purchased by Kamloops residents, according to lottery spokesperson Bryce Herman. As always, funds raised from ticket sales will go to support the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA programs and activities. There were 26 prize packages in total, with winners’ names posted online at kamloopsylotto.ca.

Opening of the Fortune Motel for the homeless has been delayed due to renovations and flood damage caused by burst pipes in winter. BC Housing to purchased the North Kamloops motel in June 2021 for $3.6 million. it will be turned into supportive housing for the homeless. The province initially said the property would open last fall. A year later, it remains empty at 654 Fortune Dr. It is now expected to open this summer. KTW inquired the status of the motel and when people may be housed there. BC Housing
provided the following statement: “The property consists of one small building with 12 units and a second larger building with 28 units, which required significant renovations. “Due to freezing temperatures well below seasonal averages in early January, burst pipes caused flooding in the smaller building and four units in the main building. While the flood damage was considerable and delayed the opening of this project, the required repairs provided an opportunity for BC Housing to repurpose space in the larger building to create an amenity and programming area. BC Housing is working closely with our project partners to open the Fortune Motel later this summer.”

Doctor succumbs to injuries sustained in cycling crash MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops doctor who was injured in a cycling accident in May has died. Andrew van der Westhuizen, 36, spent seven weeks in the intensive-care unit at Vancouver General Hospital before succumbing to traumatic internal injuries on June 30, his wife, Jen van der Westhuizen, confirmed to KTW. On May 11, Andrew was biking north (down) on Highland Road from Juniper Ridge along a multi-use pathway when he collided with a water truck that was travelling in the same direction and turned right, in front of Andrew, to access a dumping zone utilized by construction in the area. Andrew was rushed to hospital with internal injuries, broken ribs and a concussion, underwent multiple surgeries over several weeks and given about 100 units of blood product. He managed to communicate non-verbally while in hospital, unable to talk as he has a tracheostomy tube helping him breathe. Andrew, a radiologist at Royal Inland Hospital, and Jen moved to Kamloops with their two young children about a year ago. Jen told KTW on Tuesday Andrew was awaiting a liver transplant when he passed away. “His injuries were just too great,” she said. “He just wasn’t healing and it was a catch-22 in the sense that he wasn’t healing because his liver wasn’t working, but his liver wasn’t
ANDREW VAN DER WESTHUIZEN working because he needed a new liver, but they couldn’t give him a new liver until he healed a little bit more.” Jen said family support has been invaluable in helping to cope with Andrew’s passing, which has changed plans for Jen and her children as they had moved here for Andrew’s job and had just begun to get situated in Kamloops. Following 10 years of medical school in Vancouver and two years as a locum physician in Victoria, Andrew had secured full-time work at Royal Inland Hospital last year and the couple was planning to call Kamloops home for a long time after investing years of hard work into Andrew’s medical career. “We were starting the next chapter,” Jen said. “This last year was such a blessing. Andrew was so happy in his life. He had reached a point in his career where he was secure and extremely happy with the radiology group in Kamloops and it was just the perfect fit.” The couple had found a good work-life balance and was looking forward to planning trips and doing more activities with their children, who are six and two.
Andrew and Jen were high school sweethearts, having dated since Grade 11, when they attended St. Michaels University School in Victoria. “We already had a lifetime together,” Jen said, noting they had been together for 19 years and were set to celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary in August. “I’m so thankful to have had that.” While Andrew was in hospital, Jen split time between Kamloops and the Lower Mainland to see her husband and lauded the medical care and empathy Andrew received from his doctors and nurses despite challenges they face in their work. She also asked that people consider making blood donations and register for organ donation. Jen’s has also advocated for better bicycle safety since the crash. In an earlier interview with KTW, she called for flaggers along Highland Road to improve safety between cyclists and crossing trucks and noted the need for additional access routes in and out of Juniper. Jen said that while she’s gutted by the preventable loss of her husband, she holds no bitterness toward the driver of the truck that struck Andrew, noting the burden one bears knowing one is responsible for a death. “My heart goes out to him,” she said. The City of Kamloops has told KTW it intends to monitor traffic activity along Highland Road over the summer to determine if any improvements and/or pilot projects should be implemented to enhance safety along the corridor.

Majagalee creation is a mural marvel The Majagalee mural can be seen on the Kamloops Travel Centre building in west Kamloops at Copperhead Drive and Versatile Drive. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

amloops’ newest mural was unveiled at the Versatile PetroCanada’s Kamloops Travel Centre on June 20, which was National Indigenous Peoples
Day. The work of art greets motorists at 1522 Versatile Dr. in west Kamloops and is a bright, colourful statement by Gitxsan artist Michelle Stoney. The mural is called Majagalee, which is the word for children/flower in the Gitxsan language. It wraps around two sides of the building’s exterior. “We wanted to make some of the sites space available for Indigenous artists in various ways to tell their stories about their culture, their cultural journey,’ said Suncor general manager of wholesale operations and sales Steve Duke. “It’s important for us, it’s important for the people in the communities we operate in and we thought what better way — we’ve got these blank slates across the country that we could make available to Indigenous artists to tell their story.” Canadian cities now telling their stories
with art murals include Kamloops, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. “When we talked with each artist, we said, ‘Do you have a story to tell us around truth and reconciliation that we can then share on our platforms to Canadians?’” said Lynsey Mason, Suncor Petro-Canada’s advisor of

brand management. Mason said each mural is different, but all are within the same theme of reconciliation and what that means to the artists. Mason said the project is less about Suncor and Petro-Canada and much more about the artists’ own stories.
“This is a really special project … to have an opportunity to work with Michelle personally, it’s really touching,” Mason said. For artist Michelle Stoney, being chosen to create the mural was a welcome opportunity. Standing beside Stoney, as drummers from the Tk’emlúps community performed the Honour Song, were her aunt and uncle, having made the road trip from their Hazelton home to offer their support. They, along with others from within Stoney’s own family, had returned home from residential schools. “This is really to honour residential school survivors,” Stoney said. “Our history and culture is still striving, even though they tried to take it away from us.” After probable unmarked burial sites were identified in Kamloops in 2021, Stoney created the orange Every Child Matters hand sign — a combination of trees, mountains, flowers and feathers.

Gitxsan artist credits her community for success From A16
In that design, the mountains and trees represent the Gitxsan Nation, the flowers represent children and the feathers represent the children who were lost in residential schools. Stoney explained the Majagalee mural in Kamloops is based on her orange hand design incorporating some of the same elements and their meanings. “I got to use my earlier work and combine it with elements from the orange hand design,” Stoney said. “I wanted to re-work the hand and have something different for people — to show people what I would do if it was coloured. The mountain [in the mural] represents community to me. The cedar tree represents the children that left, but came back and built their roots where their culture is still striving.” Stoney was raised in Gitxsan territory, in the House of Delgamuukw, and comes from a family of Gitxsan artists. Her grandpa, the late Victor Mowatt, was a master carver and her grandmother’s brother, Earl Muldow a world-renowned sculptor and jeweller. Stoney’s accomplishments are substantial in their own right and she works mainly in the medium of acrylic painting and metal sculpture. Stoney’s unique style takes from the traditions
of her two distinct First Nations cultures: bright colours with black outlines from her Cree heritage and form line from her Gitxsan heritage. In 2012, Stoney received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. She received the YVR Art Foundation Award in 2009 and had her work selected in the YVR Banner Contest in 2013. Stoney is now a full-time artist living in Hazelton, where she keeps busy with painting and jewelry studios, manages an Etsy shop and takes on commissioned work throughout Canada. Stoney regularly collaborates with her brother, photographer Alex Stoney, and together they create prints, a calendar and public art projects. Asked what she attributes her success to, Stoney said one of the biggest reasons is her community. Stoney said she is honouring “the trees” in her community, like her uncle, who returned home from residential schools. By carrying on their traditions, Stoney is making her own mark on First Nations art in B.C. and across Canada — broadening understanding of its meaning and place within Canada’s history. You can learn more about Stoney on her website at michellestoney.com, on Facebook at facebook.com/mstoneyart and on Etsy at storeoutetsy.com/ca/shop/Mstoneyart.

Housing a need for Ukrainian refugees in city MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Housing is an ongoing need for Ukrainian refugee families who have fled their homeland for Kamloops since Russia invaded the European country in February. Kamloops Immigrant Services (KIS) has been inspecting homes and meeting with homeowners wishing to provide places to stay and short-term accommodation for Ukrainian refugees and continues to see a need for more housing options. The organization assists refugee families arriving as temporary residents under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET).
In late June, KIS executive director France Lamontagne told KTW 61 displaced Ukrainian refugees among 14 families are residing in the Kamloops area. On average, she said, about four Ukrainian refugees have been arriving in Kamloops every week. All 61 to date have found housing — most having arrived with a temporary residence for the next three to six months already in place. However, about five families, consisting of 24 refugees, are now in need of finding long-term housing by August, Lamontagne said. “We continue to keep an eye on long-term stays. The problem we’re hearing is that some landlords want guarantors and co-signors,” Lamontagne said. She said most renters would only need

to prove their income, sign a tenancy agreement and put down a deposit. She said she is dismayed that more is being asked of displaced Ukrainian families. Lamontagne said it can be a challenge for some of the larger families to afford two- or three-bedroom homes, noting that given the lack of childcare spaces in Kamloops, some have just a single parent working. “You can’t pay $2,200 a month or even $1,800 a month with just one wage,” Lamontagne said, adding most working-age refugees have found jobs locally. Lamontagne said all school-aged Ukrainian refugee children have since been registered in School District 73. Matches are being made between Ukrainian refugees and housing providers, with expectations being exceeded, according to an email update from KIS, which also noted a community organization donated a duplex with a year of free rent for two Ukrainian families. Refugees also receive a welcome package from KIS that includes information about Kamloops and $200 from a community fund for the refugees. To date, the fund has raised $40,000.

“Most have not come here with savings and they are starting from scratch,” Lamontagne said. The federal government has launched the Ukrainian Transitional Financial Assistance program to help those arriving in Canada under CUAET with a one-time, non-taxable benefit of $3,000 per adult and $1,500 per child. The B.C. government has announced Ukrainian citizens arriving in B.C. under CUAET can now apply for hardship assistance from the province. Eligibility is based on need and can be as much as $935 per month for a single person and as much as $1,770 per month for a family of four. The maximum for a single person with a disability is $1,358.50 per month and $2,193.50 per month for a family of four, in which one adult is a person with a disability. KIS is directing donations to the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store, where Ukrainian refugees can visit and receive what they need through a voucher program. The United Way and KIS, alongside members of Kamloops’ Ukrainian Society and TRU World, are hosting monthly dinners for Ukrainian refugees. KIS continues to look for donations and volunteers to assist Ukrainian refugees arriving in the city. Laptops and computers in good condition are items in particular need. Anyone looking to lend a hand can call the organization at 778-470-6101.

Theatre Under the Trees in Prince Charles Park Rem Murray, Jakob Kopytko, Jessica Buchanan and Morgan Benedict (left to right) perform on the Prince Charles Park stage during a dress rehearsal of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. SEAN BRADY/KTW
SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
Project X’s Theatre Under the Trees will return in full force this year, with actors hitting the Prince Charles Park stage this week for nearly a month of nightly performances. The two main shows this year include an all-ages presentation of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and a musical adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood that caters to younger audiences. An adults-only improv night is also set for July 22 at 9 p.m. Theatre Under the Trees includes 18 days of performances featuring a cast of local actors and other talent. Project X artistic producer Randi Edmundson said people keep returning to these stories for their high stakes, magic, adventure and fantasy. Edmundson’s role began in 2020, just as the pandemic set in, delaying that year’s shows until now — though Theatre in the Park also ran in 2021 in a single-show format.
This year’s pair of performances will return to the stage set amongst the trees in Prince Charles Park, downtown at Columbia Street and 11th Avenue. That stage, designed by local set designer and TRU instructor Leon Schwesinger, serves both plays in its design. That’s something The
Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe director Catriona Leger said creates opportunities for actors. “This is my favourite kind of set to direct on because anything can happen,” she said. “A staircase can become a mountain, a spot under the stairs can become a cave. It’s a wonderfully flexible space and it’s a
playground for the actors.” Those actors include Brendan Law and Brittney Martens in Little Red Riding Hood, and Rem Murray, Jakob Kopytko, Jessica Buchanan and Morgan Benedict in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Kopytko, one of several cast members who studied theatre at Thompson Rivers University, said he has enjoyed the experience while playing multiple characters. He said he’s also looking forward to doing some puppeteering in the show — a first for him. “It’s a great opportunity to just kind of grease the wheels and see what feels good, what’s fun and what the kids might like,” Kopytko said. Buchanan, who developed her acting skills in Kamloops and honed her improv comedy skills at Second
City Toronto, said it’s important to treat the puppets as real, knowing her audience’s imagination will see it that way. “You look at them in the eyes, like it’s an actual, living, breathing thing,” she said. Buchanan is also behind this year’s improv night, which will include the actors on stage, some of Project X’s technical crew and other staff. “It’s a true Project X event, with people just getting together, having fun and trying stuff,” she said, noting many of those taking part will be first-time improv performers. Shows run Mondays to Saturdays until July 23, with most performances at 7 p.m., but other special performances, including the Rivertown Players, take place earlier in the evening or throughout the day. For tickets and a complete schedule, go online to projectxtheatre.ca. Tickets will also be available at the new box office in Prince Charles Park, 1145 Nicola St., from noon to 4 p.m., Wednesdays to Saturdays, as well as an hour prior to each night’s shows.

Kamloops City Council proposes to adopt Hotel and Motel Redevelopment Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 22-4-19
Purpose:
To adopt Hotel and Motel Redevelopment Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 22-4-19. Adoption of the bylaw will establish a city-wide revitalization tax exemption program. The City hereby gives notice of Council’s intention to adopt Hotel and Motel Redevelopment Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 22-4-19. The establishment of the tax exemption program will allow for the redevelopment of existing hotel and motel properties into new multiple-family residential or mixed-use developments which will improve the image and attractiveness of the properties and improve housing diversity. To be considered for a Tax Exemption, a project must: • be located on a parcel which currently contains a hotel/motel use • completely remove a hotel/motel to construct - a multiple-family residential building or - a mixed-use building. The Hotel and Motel Redevelopment Tax Exemption Program accomplishes these objectives by granting municipal tax relief for projects that meet the criteria for new construction or improvements. Tax relief may encourage new projects that are constructed, maintained, operated, and used in a fashion that is consistent with and will foster the principles of the Official Community Plan. The process and criteria to qualify for this program are set out in the Hotel and Motel Redevelopment Tax Exemption Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 22-4-19. The amount of the proposed tax exemption shall be based upon 100% of the Increased Assessed Value of improvements, and the maximum term of exemption that may be provided under the purpose of this bylaw is 10 years.

Pop-up spray parks coming to Kamloops? JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
With the spray park in Riverside Park set to remain closed until next year, the city will explore the feasibility of a temporary solution. During a recent council meeting, Coun. Mike O’Reilly expressed his disappointment that the new spray park — which is part of a $5.1-million Riverside Park improvement project — would not be open this summer, as initially planned. The city has said the spray park will not open until the spring of 2023, due to supply chain issues. “That definitely was very disappointing to me
and many people that I’ve heard from,” O’Reilly said. “That waterpark is a key asset for families and kids to cool down in the summer. I’m also concerned that, by default, we’re actually going to be having more kids use the river because they need somewhere to cool down.” The North and South Thompson rivers remain high after a cool spring delayed the melting of snow in the mountains. The city has warned residents to stay away from the river at this time, including through this past weekend’s Canada Day long weekend, which saw large crowds attend festivities in the downtown park, due to safety concerns. O’Reilly proposed the
addition of a pop-up spray park in Riverside Park, which could be used until the permanent fixture is complete. O’Reilly asked staff to report back on the initiative, including cost, at the July 19 council meeting. He noted a similar initiative in nearby Vernon and said the temporary spray park could be used at events around the city in the future. Council voted unanimously, 9-0, in favour of exploring the pop-up waterpark proposal. The Riverside Park improvement project also includes flood-mitigation work, revitalization of the riverfront walkway, a new accessible playground, a food truck plaza and new changeroom building.

Will city get sobering centre?
July 10th
Love from your whole family.
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
After the province announced last month a sobering centre would be opened in for Prince George, a Kamloops councillor continues to wonder when a similar announcement may come to the Tournament Capital. Coun. Dale Bass has advocated for a sobering centre. The centres provide shortterm shelter, assessment and monitoring of inebriated people and may include referral by police or a hospital. At a recent council meeting, Bass noted a business case created by the city has been sitting for about five years with the province. Mayor Ken Christian said he recently spoke with Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Sheila Malcolmson, who indicated to him it remains under consideration, but that he is happy to see Prince George — which he said has a similar demographic of alcohol addiction — get a centre. City of Kamloops protective services director Byron McCorkell said it is interesting to see Prince George get a centre. “I’m optimist that maybe there’s a phone call coming,” he said.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A council code of conduct to be reviewed by council was deferred during a recent jam-packed meeting. The city is preparing for provincial changes that require local government boards to introduce codes of conduct for elected officials. A working group has been struck by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the Local Government Management Association of BC and the Union of BC Municipalities and will provide resources to local governments to help implement such policies. The city’s draft code of conduct includes rules around how councillors ought and ought not behave, outlines relationships with staff and interactions with the media and public and advises on what should and should not be posted on social media.

Black belt history at judo club MARTY HASTINGS

Tony Plumtree hoisted his son, Nicholas, onto his shoulders and whipped him to the ground with vicious vigour, the impact making a thud that sounded like pain. The group that gathered to watch applauded the violent throw. They can do that without being arrested because years of practising at the Kamloops Judo Club allows the Plumtrees to execute moves with a great degree of care — and the dynamic demonstration was all part of a celebration. Tony and Nicholas are the first father-son duo in the 66-year history of the club to earn black belts, with dad satisfying the grading board’s
requirements on Father’s Day in Steveston, with his boy as his Kata test partner. “It was pretty surreal,” said 17-year-old Nicholas, whose father was his partner last year when he passed his black-belt test. “It was a lot of years in the making. He was there from Day 1. There were many, many tough nights and a lot of progression. So, finally seeing him able to put a capstone on it was really, really cool.” Club members marked the occasion on June 28 at the North Shore dojo, applauding Tony after he received his belt from club instructor Michael Lindsay before watching the father-son throws and chokehold demonstration. “This is pretty cool for us,” Lindsay said. “It’s pretty prestigious for us. It brings the
whole morale of the club up. They don’t just hand them out. You’ve got to be consistent and earn it.” Tony enrolled his son in judo and watched Nicholas begin the training that eventually led him to provincial success and national competition. “I was more of a judo dad, but I really had a hard time staying on the sideline,” said Tony, who has trained with Nicholas for about nine years. “I wanted to join him and partake. We really bonded together, travelled a lot and really enjoyed the whole process of working up through the ranks.” Tony has taken knocks along the way, including hematomas, broken ribs, broken fingers and mild concussions. The test earlier this month in Steveston required Tony to perform a series of moves,

throws, armlocks and chokes on Nicholas. “It really went well,” Tony said. “I was pleased because sometimes I get a little forgetful when I’ve got a lot of people intensely watching every single move. But we pulled it off. The grading board was really happy with us. It was a wonderful day. It was Father’s Day.” Added Lindsay: “I wouldn’t let him go if he wasn’t ready. I knew he was ready.” Nicholas will soon head off to university. He will be seeing less of dad on the mat. “It was his idea to put me into it,” Nicholas said. “I’m happy it was because I wouldn’t have thought about judo. A lot of parents just sit on the sidelines and yell at their kid to do this or do that. He was actually there — right beside me.”

Officials Kim Clow and Doug Swaine, who have been instrumental to the sustainability and growth of the SF Electric Kamloops Ball Hockey League, have hung up their whistles. “Tonight we say goodbye to our two senior officials,” league president Zach Moffat said in a Monday press release. “This league and association has persevered thanks to these two consistent and foundational pieces.” Clow recently completed his 40th year of officiating in the league, while Swaine has spent most of his adult life playing, calling games or handling head of officiating duties. “Kim put in 40 years as a ball hockey official,” said Swaine, who has been the league’s referee in chief for 12 years. “It was an honour and a pleasure to officiate with Kim.” Clow and Swaine called it quits after Monday night action at Valleyview Arena, where a city champion was crowned. The Bohnefide Blackjacks blanked the Junkyard Dogs 1-0 to claim the Kamloops banner, with Morgan Zulinick notching the lone goal in support of netminder Brayden Armstrong, who posted a 31-save shutout. “It was excellent hockey,” Swaine said. “It was a great way to go out.” See HISTORIANS, A25 Eric Davis, BBA, CIWM, PFP© Senior Portfolio Manager and Senior Investment Advisor Keith Davis, BBA, CFP®, CIM© Associate Investment Advisor TD Wealth Private Investment Advice T: 250 314 5124 | 1 866 377 1511 eric.davis@td.com | keith.davis@td.com daviswealth.ca

Aiden Sutter and Seppe Mazzei had assists on the goal. Ben Turvey recorded 23 saves for the Dogs in a losing effort. Clow’s son-in-law, Sean (T-Bone) Thompson, toils for the Blackjacks. Thompson is married to Clow’s daughter, Layne, who was on hand to watch the city final, along with their newborn, Rio Violet, who caught grandpa’s last game and daddy’s big win on her first night out. “It’s kind of bittersweet,” said Clow, who refereed Swaine during his playing days in the 1980s. “My body says it’s glad it’s over, but I’m going to miss the guys, just loving the friendships I’ve made all through the years.” The Stingray Comets thumped the Hornets 8-1 in a semifinal tilt. Matt Langenegger led the Komets with four points in support of goaltender Jody Tedford, who stopped 26 shots to pick up the victory. Peter Spina made 25 saves in a losing effort. Clow and Swaine were applauded by players and invited to be in the Blackjacks’ championship photo. “It was very emotional,” Swaine said. “It’s actually been rewarding. As an official, you build up relationships with players and sort of earn their respect.” Clow hung around long enough to referee multiple generations. “One thing I thought was really cool was doing the second generation of ball hockey players,” Clow said, noting he was happy to end his officiating career alongside Swaine. “I lost track at about 25 or 30 kids I reffed that I actually reffed their dads, too. “I enjoyed the whole time.” Added Moffat: “They’re historians and legends of our league and will be sorely missed.”

Tom Gaglardi is eyeing what he called a monumental season in 20222023, with his Kamloops Blazers under a microscope as they build toward competing for the Memorial Cup next year on home ice. Gaglardi, the WHL club’s majority owner, on Monday (July 4) tapped Norm Daley to take an influential role in ensuring the Tournament Capital lives up to its name in front of the eyes of the hockey world. Daley was named president and alternate governor of the Blazers, becoming the first to occupy the position since the passing of Don Moores, who died of a heart attack while golfing on June 30, 2021. “Don led the resurgence,” sad Gaglardi, whose opening remarks centred on the club’s love and appreciation for Moores. “There’s no doubt about it and the resurgence started before our club started to win a lot. Then we started to win and it’s grown and we’ve had, what are we, three straight division titles and I expect a fourth next year with this team. “Norm’s a leader. Norm gets things done and he’s not worried about any impediments. He’s a successful businessman and he’s had lots of experience in community events. He really ticks all the boxes.” Daley has lived in Kamloops for more than 30 years and was managing partner of accounting firm Daley and Company until his retirement last year. “He’s connected with the city and the big business leaders in the city,” Gaglardi said. “He’s got deep roots here. He was an easy decision to see. I can’t think of a better guy in the community to take this on and lead the

organization through this monumental year.” Daley was co-chair of the 2016 Women’s World Hockey Championship, volunteer chair of the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier and has chaired the Blazers’ advisory board since inception in 2017. He was integral to the Blazers’ bids to host the 2020 and 2023 Memorial Cup tournaments. Daley told KTW last year succeeding Moores was not on his retirement bucket list. “The last time we had spoken, I had just retired,” Daley said. “That was the intention. My wife retired. We had some plans for some trips and doing different things. We still have those plans and we will do some of it, but the next year is going to be really busy and I really want to be a part of this.” Gaglardi planted the idea in Daley’s head last fall and allowed him to mull over his options. “He said, ‘I just want to have 40 consecutive nights’ sleeps, which I’ve never been able to have in my life with this job, then I’ll give you a call,’” Gaglardi recalled of the conversation. “We won the Memorial Cup bid and then Norm said, ‘I think I’m ready to take that role.‘” Gaglardi said a multi-year agreement
is in place with Daley. “We’ll see where it goes,” Gaglardi said. “It’s past the Memorial Cup season. We’ll see where Norm’s at with his own journey.” Daley, a former minor hockey and baseball coach, has served on several volunteer boards, including time as a director for the Blazers and Kamloops Blazers Sports Society and secretary treasurer for the TRU Foundation. He is also part-owner of the Kamloops NorthPaws of baseball’s West Coast League. Moores had considerable influence in both hockey and business operations. Daley will be focused almost solely on the club’s off-ice success. “Don did a fantastic job in making the Blazers important in the community and I want to continue that,” Daley said. “I want to make sure the people are aware of us throughout the season, making sure we’re filling this building, getting good sponsorship, being good community supporters in Kamloops and making sure the Memorial Cup is a memorable event.” Daley, Sean Smith of the City of Kamloops and Blazers’ assistant general manager Tim O’Donovan flew to Saint John, N.B., last week on a fact-find-
ing mission at the 2022 Memorial Cup. “There are lots of things they did very, very well,” Daley said. “You see some things and you go, hmm, I think we could do that differently. There is always right, wrong and different. My motivation is I wanted this event and I wanted this for our community and I want to ensure we make this if not the best, one of the best that’s ever been held.” ON ROSTER, BEDARD Gaglardi was asked during a media scrum about the team’s roster, with the 2023 Memorial Cup on home ice on the horizon. He noted the club plans to be active, but does not want to make any deals unless they make sense and the timing is right. Gaglardi was asked if the Blazers are pursuing Connor Bedard, perhaps the most heralded prospect since Connor McDavid. “No, but it’s an interesting name, for sure,” Gaglardi said. “It’s something I suppose we’ll talk about if there is an opportunity to land a player like that. There’s nothing to it at this stage.” Find more of Gaglardi’s comments online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

e would come to Colorado looking for some soft adventure — the kind that everyone in the family could enjoy with minimal risk of injury. We found it just two hours from Denver, in Cañon City and Colorado Springs, two towns that contain a playground of canyons, mountains and rivers nestled in the embrace of the magnificent Rockies. With its craggy mountains and gently undulating hills, the state offers lots of opportunity for visitors to explore its nooks and crevices on land, on water and by bike. These are my top picks for a getaway in Denver’s backyard. Boasting one of the world’s highest suspension bridges, Royal Gorge is a great introduction to Colorado’s impressive geological landscape. The steep, granite rock faces that line both sides of the Arkansas River stretch 290 metres from top to bottom, offering inspiring views of Pike’s Peak Mountain and the Sangre De Cristo range. The park has a variety of options for experiencing those views, including my son’s favorite choice, the Royal Rush Skycoaster, a roller-coaster type swing best suited for those looking for an adrenaline rush. Others prefer the relative calm

Taking kids river rafting can be challenging, but the Arkansas River’s calmer whitewater makes it a safer option than many other rivers. We geared up at Echo Canyon River Expeditions and headed out to Bighorn Sheep Canyon for some Class II and a handful of Class III rapids. The ride was a pleasant drift downstream, with

At the mountain’s base the weather was hot but by the time we’d driven to the top, where the air is much thinner, we were ready for sweaters and gloves. Donning helmets we angled our bikes downhill and followed a cyclist named Harvey Heasten, a spritely 72-year-old bike guide with Challenge Unlimited for the 32-kilometre ride.

There were frequent stops along the way to admire the Cheyenne Canyon, Colorado’s eastern plains and Wild Dog Mountain, much of it still black and burned from the summer wildfires. Moving between alpine, foothills and prairie Eco-zones, there was lots of variation in flora and fauna along the way, including statuesque bighorn sheep that gazed at us from the sheer mountain slopes. If the name Garden of the Gods doesn’t catch your attention with its 5.2-square kilometre garden, perhaps the upended towers of rock that characterize this garden certainly will. Once, a cultural crossroads for Indian tribes, the towers in God’s Garden were once giant sand dunes formed by water emerging through the ancestral Rocky Mountains, 280 million years ago. Pocked with holes formed by erosion, these blood-red rock formations and the semi-desert that surrounds them are home to falcons, mountain lion, bears, rattlesnakes and coyotes among other species. Take a hike along one of the paths, check out the informational movie in the visitors centre and look out for autographed rocks, some containing the signatures of gold miners that date back to the turn of the century.

he recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn the 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling — which ended the constitutional right to an abortion, giving individual states the power to again ban abortions — has made this contentious issue the focus of huge protests and divisive debate. Pro-choice advocates are incensed, while pro-life campaigners are elated. In Canada, abortion was completely illegal from 1869 to 1969, with limited therapeutic abortions being permitted when the law was changed in 1969. Dr. Henry Morgenthaler challenged that law and, in 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the 1969 law as being too restrictive. In their ruling, the justices did not forbid the government from enacting laws limiting abortion by gestation limits or by gender, as is common in virtually every liberal democracy in the world. For example, in Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, on-demand abortion is permitted up to 12 weeks of gestation, while in France and Spain, it is 14 weeks. One wonders why French and Danish babies in the womb can be protected, but Canadian babies cannot. Even Morgenthaler thought late-term abortions were unethical, but they are completely legal in this country. Pro-life advocates are often Christians. So why is it that members of this religion are

against abortion? Christianity arose, of course, out of Judaism and the Jews were strictly forbidden to follow the practices of the pagan Canaanites. The Canaanites were infamous for sacrificing babies to their god Moloch. Moreover, the infant Moses was saved from Pharoah’s edict that all newborn Jewish males be killed. Ancient Greeks and Romans practiced “exposure” for unwanted or deformed newborns, often leaving them in garbage dumps or dunghills. Early Christians had a welldocumented reputation for rescuing these abandoned infants and this practice continued well into the Middle Ages. The Emperor Constantine (who made Christianity the state religion) outlawed the practice of infant abandonment in 339 A.D. Abortion is not specifically referenced in the Bible, but there are numerous verses that affirm the personhood and humanity of the unborn. In the Book of Exodus,

Mosaic law stated that someone who struck a pregnant woman, causing a miscarriage, could forfeit his life if the fetus was fully formed (“you are to take life for life”). In the Book of Jeremiah, the Lord says to the prophet, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Christians have taken this to mean our soul pre-exists our physical selves and that “ensoulment” occurs at conception. Therefore, is it considered a great moral evil to wilfully destroy a life created by God. The Sixth Commandment, “Thou shall not kill”, pretty much covers it. The Didache, also known as The Lord’s Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations, is considered the oldest catechism of the church, which most believe was written in the late first century. Its teaching on abortion is explicit: “Thou shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten.” The Epistle of Barnabas, another first century Christian writing, echoes the Didache: “Thou shall not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born.” Tertullian referenced abortion in three of his extensive writings. In Apologeticum, he writes, “Murder being once for all forbidden, we [Christians] may not destroy even the fetus in the womb.” He specifically mentions that noxious drugs used to induce a miscarriage are forbidden (the morning-after pill and mifepristone concoctions of the day).
Every Christian writer in the first 300 years of the church condemned the practice of abortion. These ideas have been incorporated into the Catechism of the Catholic Church which states, “Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person — among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.” The “rights of a person” is the right that allows a surgeon to operate on the fetus in the womb to correct an identified defect. Prenatal surgery has been performed successfully since 1981 and is a growing, but highly specialized field of perinatal health care. Who is the primary patient in these cases? Clearly, it is the unborn infant, who, in this country, has no legal status whatsoever. We are precious to the Lord from the moment of conception. Psalm 139 says, “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” We are all created in the image of God and no one should have the right to wilfully destroy what God has created.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Aries, you can expect anything to happen this week, which makes it an ideal time to fall in love — or fall back in love. Throw caution to the wind and welcome romance.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Spiritual matters are on your mind, Cancer. You are increasingly drawn to them as you get older. Do not hesitate to ask questions in your pursuit of enlightenment.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Taurus, don’t be surprised if a former romantic partner or close friend reconnects with you this week. It may be possible to rekindle this connection if you so desire.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Optimism about life is in full force for you, Leo. Others will notice you are smiling more and moving about with a spring in your step. Channel that energy into a fun project.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Don’t hesitate to try something new this week, Gemini. You’ll likely be surprised at what you discover you enjoy. You may even meet some interesting people.
Virgo, this week is full of possibilities. You may strike up a new friendship or decide to try a unique hobby. Travel may be the name of the game as well.

JULY 6 - JULY 12, 2021
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20
Libra, even though you may be feeling positive and looking well, you’re simply not drawing that special attention you desire. Don’t be too hard on yourself; it will come.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Try an activity that strays from your usual routine, Capricorn. Change the time or the location to get a fresh perspective on your experiences. It can be the boost you need right now.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Scorpio, communication channels have been blocked lately, so you have been facing challenges getting your point across. Employ a little more patience.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Don’t be surprised if you have a desire to redecorate or change up your living space in some way, Aquarius. A new look can refresh your mindset as well.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Sagittarius, there have been days you have felt better. Don’t let a minor illness derail your plans. Before you know it, you will be back on your feet.
Some interesting news is likely to come your way, Pisces. It’s important to answer your phone, read your texts and check your emails.

Colleen Michelle Gropp April 28, 1969 – July 7, 2021 I don’t know where you’re going but I’ll meet you there I can’t blame you for leaving but it’s still not fair And when I don’t know what to sing I sing about you Now I don’t know what to do now that you’re not here I don’t know how to love, don’t know how to feel But I don’t want to believe I’ll believe in you I’ll believe in you I’ll believe in you If all I can do To keep you here with me I’ll remember you Won’t you remember me If all I can do To keep you here with me I’ll remember you Won’t you remember me And when I don’t know what to think I’ll think about you Song by We Are Messengers It’s been a year since we lost you. Even though we don’t have you, we can still feel you and hear you. Miss you every day. Love You…Love You Your Loving Husband Brent, Family and Friends.

THE ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER
By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials
May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of Despair
And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N. Union Blvd, Suite 4 Colorado Springs, CO 80918

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.

Norman George Zwarich August 6, 1934 - June 26, 2022
Norman George Zwarich passed away June 26, 2022, at the age of 88, at his Westsyde home in Kamloops after battling serious medical issues for the past few months. He will be sorely missed by his wife, Pat, his children and numerous relatives and friends. Norman was born in Kamloops on August 6, 1934, in Kamloops and raised in Monte Lake. There, he attended the one-room school where he met his future wife Pat. They were married on December 31, 1955, in Kamloops. They continued to reside in Monte Lake when their four children were born. He and his family moved to Westsyde in the mid-1960s, built a new house in 1972 and continued to reside there till the end. Norman is survived by Pat, his wife of 66 years, two daughters: Jeannette and Cheryl and three grandchildren Curtis, Adam and Zachary. Also surviving are two sisters Audrey and Linda, as well as one brother Ronald. He was predeceased by his parents George and Jennie Zwarich and two children: Laurel and Lawrence, as well as three brothers: Clarence, Andrew and Alexander Michael and sister Sonja. Norman’s working life was mostly associated with the logging industry. Interestingly, when he first started to work in the industry, teams of horses were used to skid logs to a location where they were then loaded onto trucks. Norman’s early introduction to working in the woods was as one of those Teamsters. He soon moved on to driving a logging truck — firstly for other owners, and when his entrepreneurial spirit kicked in, he bought his own truck. Until his retirement, he hauled logs for many years for Weyerhaeuser Kamloops. Outdoor activities were among his other interests, including hunting and especially fishing the many lakes and rivers in the Kamloops area. When his kids were young, he also enjoyed snowmobiling in the mountains. Norman and Pat did go exploring in their camper to Haida Gwaii and Alaska. He was also an avid sports fan, making trips to Vancouver and Edmonton to watch live hockey and football games. In keeping with Norman’s wishes, there will be no service or celebration of life.

Donna Marie Schweiger After a lengthy battle with cancer, Donna Marie Schweiger (nee Watson) passed away in the early morning of May 10, 2022, with her husband Terry at her side. Donna is predeceased by her father Lewis Watson, her maternal and paternal grandparents, and her nephew Alex. She is survived by her husband Terry, mother Doris Watson, brothers Robert (Bob) and Gerald (Gerry), sister Wendy, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Donna’s main goal in life was to be a nurse, something she knew from an early age. After being turned down by the Royal Columbian Hospital due to a congenital hip disorder, she was accepted into the Vancouver General Hospital’s nursing program. From there, her life took off. She eventually decided that she wanted to specialize in critical care. She travelled to London, England to take a course specializing in this field. She worked in the critical care units in Williams Lake, Vanderhoof, Penticton and the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. She finished off her career as a Shift Coordinator at the Royal Inland Hospital. Donna made so many good friends throughout her life. She met her best friend Lynda in training and stayed in contact with many of the girls she went through training with. She seemed to make strong friendships wherever she was. Her friends, many of them co-workers, were very important to her and retiring was difficult because she loved the camaraderie. After retirement, Donna kept busy with the Savona OAP, serving as president for 6 years. She loved playing cards and making cards, but she mostly just loved being with friends. She will be greatly missed by all her family and too many friends to name. A Celebration of Life will take place Saturday, August 6th, 2022, at the Savona Community Hall from 1:00 – 3:00pm. Please bring your stories to share for our open mic. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Pearl (Anne) Doucette (nee Dillabough) March 8, 1938 - June 22, 2022
Anne passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family. Anne was born in Kamloops, one of 9 children of Tessie and John Dillabough. She is survived by her sisters Louise Jess, Maureen Rode (Rudy), and brother Raymond Dillabough. She is survived by 10 children Janet (Brent), Tony, Joanne (Lloyd), Catherine (Dave), Laurie (Jeff), Linda (Wayne), Russell (Donna), Adele (Steve), Yvonne (Sid), Daniel (Susan) and 26 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews. Anne grew up on the Kamloops reserve and always felt a strong attachment to her Tk’emlups community, it grounded her and always drew her back. Even after spending years away, it was the place that helped to shape who she was. That wasn’t an easy thing- she didn’t always feel a sense of belonging as a part Secwepmc, part English person. She faced stigmas in both worlds and wasn’t always accepted in either camp. But those struggles gave her courage and strength that helped her forge a fierce sense of independence. She was determined to succeed in whatever she took on- and she did, passing those values onto her family. She found true happiness in coming back home. Tk’emlups was always homewhere she was meant to be. Raising a large family is an accomplishment- a feat on its own. Anne created more than that, she built a legacy. She had a keen ability to make each one of us feel like we mattered. Her families accomplishments large and small was something she was very proud of. The family she raised is one filled with love and support for one another.

Linda Latin
February 19, 1963 - June 25, 2022 Linda left us on June 25, 2022. She was predeceased by her parents, Roy Leveridge (1999) and Pat McWilliam (2009). Linda was born in 1963 in Portland Oregon USA. She was raised in Williams Lake, BC then moved to Kamloops BC where she married and raised her family. She is survived by her husband Danny Latin, and their sons Jimmy and Jake. Linda also leaves behind her brothers Roy (Sheryl) and Scott (Barbara) Leveridge and sister Kelly (Wayne) Swift; her nieces Danielle Swift (Damir), Kylee Swift (Jeremy), Raelene Leveridge, Destiny Leveridge and many more. She excelled as Granty (short for Great Aunt, but she was really a Grandma) to Carson (15), Aubrey (13), Jalen (5), Ryan (2), Casimir (8 weeks) and also as Halmeoni to Ido (4). Her love of family, extended family, and friends was the cornerstone of her life. Her home was a haven to those lucky enough to enter, and she invited many. Her skill in sensing pain, stress or anxiety was only exceeded by her ability to alleviate it. She enriched and soothed too many lives to count. Her passions and interests were numerous and varied— learning and sharing were constant themes. Linda was proud of her Métis heritage and served as treasurer to the Two-Rivers Métis Society. She was one of the original members of the Ladies of Lax Lacrosse team. She had a diploma in horticulture from TRU, and a certificate of reflexology. For a time Linda volunteered by giving foot massages to the elderly.
In addition to raising a large family, she also went to work. Working in restaurants and care facilities, owning a restaurant in Keremeos and a sandwich shop in Kelowna. She was always a good cook and continued to produce tasty food for anyone and everyone who came to her house. She also worked for many years for the Tk’emlups band in the housing department and served on the board for the Sk’elep school. One of her crowning achievements was when she was elected to be a band councillor for 2 terms. Her portfolio was housing. She was always humble about this- but when asked why she got involved in, she said her adopted sisters Freda and Jeanette Jules and her adopted mother Delores Jules told her it was her responsibility as a member of the family and as a band member. The glimmer in her eyes, the smile on her face as she shared her accomplishments as councillor showed how proud she was to give back to her community and gave her an immense sense of belonging that she didn’t have as a child.
Linda had a great love, understanding and respect for nature and Mother Earth. She was seeking acreage to realize her dream of off-the-grid, self-sufficient and sustainable living. Her pursuit of well-being through healthy nutrition, exercise and natural ways of nourishing mind, body and soul was an inspiration to many.
When she wasn’t working she loved to be in her garden. She enjoyed gardening throughout her life. She shared her joy and knowledge of gardening with everyone. When she came home to her new home on the reserve, few of us can forget the desert landscape that greeted her. It was a labour of love that transformed her yard into what it is today. It became a labour of love for her family as well, sage brush and tumble weeds were cleared..memory trees planted along with countless shrub, perennials and garden features were installed. Her yard has held weddings, graduations, reunions, dinners. Anne’s pride for her garden and her family are intertwined, it has brought us home in times of joy and celebration and in times of grief. We, her family are forever grateful for all the things that she was…
Linda’s passion for life was limitless and she lived without boundaries. Nothing could contain her love, her enthusiasm, her empathy and her need to create. Linda’s impact extends widely and reaches deep.
Anne was laid to rest June 27, 2022 in Tk’emlups Pen Pen. (Cemetery at St. Joseph’s). She is home.
Linda worked side by side with Danny, sharing in the rigours of running their business, Mount Paul Golf Course, contributing hard work, bookkeeping acumen, landscaping vision, people skills and her warm personality. They were partners in life. Linda loved her boys. She raised Jimmy and Jake with energy, devotion and creativity. Her fierce support and encouragement, devoid of judgement, provided a safe, nurturing environment and left a legacy of love and guidance that will last their lives. She taught them so much.
As her family, friends, clients and colleagues, we grieve, but know that she is not gone. Her spirit and love remains and we are comforted. A gathering for Linda will be held at 1:30 pm at the Tk’emlúps Powwow Arbor, at 330 Chief Alex Thomas Way in Kamloops, BC on Saturday, July 9, 2022. The family is also working to establish a fund to support Métis children and youth in Linda’s memory and will have more information available soon for those who would like to participate.
In memory of Anne donations to the Kidney Foundation are appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
