Interest rates having some effect, but house prices remain high
UKRAINE WAR REFUGEES WELCOMED IN KAMLOOPS
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops and District Real Estate Association says higher interest rates are starting to have an impact in the region, but the average price of a Kamloops home remains at record-high levels. The Bank of Canada key interest rate has more than tripled over the past two years, with three rate hikes — to 0.5 per cent, one per cent and 1.5 per cent — happening in the first half of 2022. The key interest rate is now comparable to what was seen in 2018, when the average cost of a Kamloops home was nearly half the price it is now. In June, the average price of a single-family home in the Kamloops and district area was $787,826, up another 16.6 per cent. Townhouses had an average cost of $569,396, while condos and apartments averaged $403,323. “The impact of the doubling of mortgage rates on residential sales performance in Kamloops and district is starting to show, but is not reflective

of the kind of impact some of the other regions are experiencing," said Lyndi Cruickshank, the president of the Association of Interior Realtors. The housing price index, which indexes average prices relative to the average cost in 2005, shows that over the past 17 years, house prices have nearly quadrupled in the B.C. Interior. The same increase is seen in Greater Vancouver, while a five-fold increase has been seen in the Fraser Valley. Sales activity is relatively stable compared to last month, with 263 homes sold in May and 250 in June. However, compared to last June, there were 25 per cent fewer sales. Average prices across all categories showed doubledigit percentage increases since the year before. Listings have shot up, as well, with June seeing twice as many listings as in 2021. Cruickshank said it's not unusual for mortgage rates to affect sales activity and that the slow-down may provide some more time for buyers to make decisions.

PEST MANAGEMENT
Cooling Centre Attendants
Traps and physical barriers can be excellent tools for detecting, catching, or preventing pest invasions. Most retail nurseries and garden centres carry a variety of these types of tools, often displayed together with other products to help customers implement a multi-pronged integrated pest management program to most effectively manage their pests. Many sticky traps, such as those for whiteflies, thrips, spiders, cockroaches, or fungus gnats, don't use a lure or chemical pheromone to attract the pest. Instead, they intercept crawling or flying pests in areas they travel. You can also keep ants out of trees and shrubs by applying sticky barriers to the trunks.
The City is seeking community volunteers to help operate up to three cooling centres should a response be activated. Sandman Centre will be the primary cooling site. Pending staff and volunteer availability, the City will aim to open the Parkview Activity Centre and Valleyview Community Hall as additional cooling centres. The centres will be open 12:00–8:00 pm on days of activation, and volunteers would contribute four-hour shifts. Emergency Management BC, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and BC Public Health will lead the BC heat alert response system coordination efforts. The City will share the BC heat alert response system messaging when the activation criteria are met, provide indoor and outdoor cooling and heat relief spaces, and encourage neighbour health checks to support community resiliency. To learn more and apply, visit:
Sometimes the best way to prevent a pest infestation is to keep the pests away with physical barriers, such as using caulking to seal cracks in structures, installing door sweeps, or placing row covers over young plants to keep pests out. Properly maintained screens also help keep out an array of flying or crawling pests, such as ants, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, and rodents.

The province purchased the Fortune Motel, located at 654 Fortune Dr. in North Kamloops, for $3.6 million last year with plans to open it as supportive housing for the homeless in the fall. Reopening has been delayed, however, due to flood damage caused by burst pipes over the winter. BC Housing told KTW it is now expected to open this summer.

STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
BC Housing’s board of commissioners was replaced late last week, following a report pointing to gaps in the Crown corporation and as communities grapple with housing issues. The province issued a press release on Friday evening stating the Minister Responsible for Housing, David Eby, was announcing the changes. It followed release before Canada Day long weekend of an external review conducted by Ernst and Young. The review was launched by the province, due to growth of the Crown corporation. BC
Housing’s budget five years ago, in 2017-2018, was $782 million. In 2021, it was $1.9 billion. The review examined financial and operational systems. It identified issues linked to inefficiency, risk and lack of oversight. Some findings include: • unclear roles, responsibilities and accountabilities; • misaligned financial approval and project risk reporting between the government and BC Housing; • outdated policies, including lack of clarity in some areas; • policy that does not document elements of the acquisition process in detail; • program performance measured by unit count with limited metrics on wider impact;
• process for selecting providers to operate properties not documented and based on qualitative criteria; • multiple programs with different terms and conditions for agreements; • no defined benchmarks in reviewing provider operating budgets. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar criticized timing of the announcement and called it “troubling” the file spans two ministers (Eby and finance minister Selina Robinson). He said high-dollarfigure projects were announced and touted successes, all the while BC Housing had operational issues. As for how it impacts
Kamloops and area, amidst issues of homelessness and housing affordability, Milobar said the changes could lead to a slow down of projects being announced. He said the situation could be further exasperated by anticipation that Eby will step down as minister to run for premier. “There’s a wide range of range of concerns here now locally, when you have this much turmoil,” Milobar said. Kamloops city council recently voted to request a joint meeting with B.C. Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Sheila Malcolmson, and Eby to seek a review of existing housing and mental-health services in Kamloops.

DOCTOR WAITLIST EFFECTIVENESS HAS ‘FADED’: MLA MILOBAR JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
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?

Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar said a waitlist system utilized by the province to connect residents with family doctors and nurse practitioners was helpful when it was started by the BC Liberal government in 2016. However, Milobar added, the waitlist system has since become a source of frustration. The waitlist is maintained through HealthLinkBC under the Ministry of Health. KTW spoke to Milobar after hearing from a resident who has been on the waitlist for four years and who has ran into roadblocks when seeking to find out where they stood in the queue and when they might come off of the list. KTW contacted the Ministry of Health for information and faced similar hurdles, with the ministry refusing to answer questions, such as how many people are on the waitlist in Kamloops and across B.C. Milobar said the waitlist system when first implemented allowed people without family doctors to feel like they were in a process in which they would progress through. He said significant placements occurred. “Lately, it seems to be more a source of frustration than anything,” Milobar said. “It seems to have changed, where now people aren’t sure where they stand on things. You know, what their timelines might look like. Is it even feasible that they’re ever going to get a placement or not? It definitely is hav-
ing its challenges.” Milobar said it is increasingly difficult to get updated and relevant health-care information in British Columbia, which he attributes to a “ratcheting down” of access to information. He said it exacerbates anxiety about the health-care system when people are left in the dark. Milobar said he doesn’t see the harm in letting someone know where they are in a queue for a family doctor and what it would roughly mean in terms of time frames. He said such information is typical of any service provider. “You even get that when you get put on hold with Air Canada,” he said. “They even tell you how long it’s going to be until they answer your phone call. It just seems strange that it’s not got more transparency to it.” Milobar said what the government is doing to improve the family physician shortage in B.C. is not working. He pointed to University of British Columbia graduates who were offered student loan forgiveness and other incentives, but did not take the offer. He said it speaks to a “big and worrisome systemic issue.” The Thompson Region Division of Family Practice represents primary care providers locally. Its work includes recruiting and retaining doctors. Executive director Tim Shoults said the division is not responsible for managing the waitlist, but noted it does receive updates from HealthLink BC. In turn, the division refers new doctors to HealthLink BC when building up new patient lists.

CELLPHONES, INTERNET, INTERAC WERE DOWN JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops businesses were among those scrambling during a nationwide Rogers outage last week. Services of Rogers Communications Inc. were temporarily down on Friday for millions of users, impacting cellphones and internet across the country, and creating problems for police, government agencies, Interac and more. The A&W restaurant in Valleyview was cash-only, as a result of the Rogers outage downing its Interac machine. Manager Taryn Galvin said the restaurant was forced to turn away business. “There were certain customers that weren’t able to pay in cash and they only had debit,” she
said. “So we were losing. ... There were customers that would come up and we would tell them that we were cash-only and they couldn’t pay, so they’d go somewhere else.” Gourmet Greens Produce Market in Aberdeen experienced a similar scenario. Owner Himanshi Vashisht said she has not yet tallied how it would have impacted the store’s bottom line. Vashisht said signs were posted and a staff member stood at the door to inform customers, who were generally understanding. “This was definitely a big eye-opener for not just us, I’m pretty sure all of the businesses, as well,” she said. “So, hopefully, this doesn’t happen again. Not very many people carry cash nowadays, so that was definitely a lesson for the
A7
customers, as well.” Rogers apologized to customers. “Today we have let you down,” the company said in a tweet to customers on Friday. A message from the company’s CEO, Tony Staffieri, issued on Saturday said that services had been restored and networks fully operational. “We now believe we’ve narrowed the cause to a network system failure following a maintenance update in our core network, which caused some of our routers to malfunction early Friday morning,” the statement reads. Canada’s Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne has since requested a formal agreement with telecommunications companies to mitigate future issues.

Council Chambers, City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West
Why?
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.

How not to host an asterisk in the Memorial Cup
T
he New Westminster Bruins franchise is the greatest in the history of major junior hockey in Canada — better than any other in the Western, Ontario or Quebec Major Junior leagues. By major junior hockey, we are referring to the era of 1970 to the present as the 1970-1971 season was when the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association divided junior A into major junior and junior A levels, with teams in the former vying for the Memorial Cup and clubs in the latter competing for the Centennial Cup. The Big, Bad Bruins advanced to the Memorial Cup four years in a row, from 1975 to 1978, winning the WHL title in each of those four years. The Bruins went 2-2 at those Memorial Cups, with both losses coming in the championship game. And it is crucially important to note that success occurred before the host team concept was introduced to the tournament. In other words, all teams playing for the Memorial Cup had to first win their league championship. Until the host team was introduced in 1983, the Memorial Cup was a true title test, with the champions of the Western, Ontario and Quebec major junior leagues meeting in a round-robin tourney in pre-determined locales, rotating between the three leagues. The first host team was the Portland Winter Hawks (the nickname was two words back then). The club — defending WHL

MUSINGS champion and Memorial Cup contender in 1982 — was chosen the year before to host the 1983 Memorial Cup tourney, joining the three league champions. Although enjoying an automatic berth via its host city status, Portland was a powerhouse that season, finishing second overall in the WHL standings and making it to the league final before bowing out to the Lethbridge Broncos in five games. But the Winter Hawks managed to win the Memorial Cup behind Cam Neely’s hat trick in Portland’s 8-3 title game victory over the Oshawa Generals. A double dose of history was made as the Memorial Cup was held outside of Canada for the first time and the Winter Hawks became the first U.S.-based team to win the trophy. In addition, and importantly, attendance at that Memorial Cup tourney in Oregon was the second-highest ever recorded, with 54,000 fans attending the eight games, second only to the 1977 Memorial Cup event at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver,

featuring the Bruins from nearby New Westminster. Attendance only grew from there, as can be expected with a host team igniting local attention. And here’s the rub, if every host team was as good as that Portland club, or as good as the host Kamloops Blazers in 1995, there wouldn’t really be a host city debate that has festered for four decades. But when champions like the Saint John Sea Dogs emerge, as they did last month, that debate is rekindled. Saint John had a solid regular season, but was ousted by the Rimouski Oceanic in five games (best-of-five) in the opening round of the QMJHL playoffs, despite finishing 23 points ahead of the Oceanic in the regular season. The Sea Dogs had a 40-day break before playing their first game in the Memorial Cup tournament. Saint John eventually defeated the OHL champion Hamilton Bulldogs 6-3 to win the Cup. Similar scenarios occurred in the 2017, 2012, 2004 and 1990 Memorial Cups. Of eight host city champions, five are asterisk Cup holders in that they failed to even make their league finals. Three others are legitimate Cup holders as they won it all by either claiming their league championships or making it to their league finals en route to the Memorial Cup tournament. These include the 1993 Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, the 1995 Kamloops Blazers and the 1997 Hull Olympiques. So, while eight host city titles in 40 years of host city inclusion
does not necessarily indicate an epidemic of asterisk titles, having five of those eight host cities hoist the Cup without even advancing as far as their league finals is indeed a problem. How to fix it? I have a couple of ideas, one of which I like better than the other. Create a fourth major junior league by hiving off teams from one of the three existing circuits (perhaps the WHL’s East Conference becomes its own Prairie Hockey League) and have four league champions (true champions) meet each year in a pre-determined city, rotating the locale among the four leagues, as was done pre-1983. The drawback to this idea is there is no guarantee a host city will be competing and, thus, attendance (and revenue, which is the most important consideration in sports these days) would likely be impacted. Failing that, if the host city concept is to be retained, then the playoff system within the Memorial Cup tournament must be changed. Here’s my suggestion — implement a Page playoff system to the Memorial Cup final. If a host team advances to the championship game and that host team did not get as far as its league final that year, that host team must then defeat its opponent (which will be one of three league champions) twice to claim the Cup. It’s not a perfect solution, but it rewards a league champion for getting to the tourney the proper way and challenges a host city that faltered in the playoffs to prove its mettle once again.
We all love the Blazers and the city is thrilled the 2023 Memorial Cup is coming to the Tournament Capital. However, if Kamloops does not at least advance as far as the WHL final next season, then wins the Cup on home ice, another asterisk will be added to the venerable trophy. Now, let’s circle back to my claim at the top of the column that the New Westminster Bruins franchise is the best of all time in modern-day major junior hockey. Before any Blazers fans rise up and begin the argue, relax. As some may know, the Kamloops Blazers of today — the team that has been to six Memorial Cups, winning three, and nine WHL finals, winning six — is that very same New Westminster Bruins franchise, having moved to Kamloops in 1981. In total, the New Westminster/ Kamloops 51-year lineage includes an impressive 10 Memorial Cup appearances (about one every five years), five Memorial Cup titles (once per decade), 13 WHL final appearances and 10 league titles. And nary an asterisk to be found on any of those accomplishments. Editor’s note: In KTW editor Christopher Foulds’ column of July 6 (‘An electric election 2022 shaping up’), it was noted Henry Pejril, campaign manager for mayoral candidate Dieter Dudy, had managed Terry Lake’s 2005 mayoral run. In fact, Pejril worked on Lake’s 2013 provincial election and 2019 federal election campaigns.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CYCLING UNSAFE? WAIT FOR BIKE LANES Re: (‘Get those bikes off Kamloops sidewalks,’ July 5): Cycling may be a popular mode of transportation in Kamloops, and I understand there are limited bike lanes, but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore rules in place to protect pedestrians. The fact of the matter is, bicycles are not legally permitted to ride on the sidewalk whatsoever, unless they’re on a shared pathway. Time and time again, I have been yelled at, threatened and had profanity-filled heated arguments for explaining the rules of the Motor Vehicle Act Chapter 318–Part 3 on safety and legality.
Sidewalks should not be a place where pedestrians constantly have to look over their shoulder, stress or worry about oncoming bikes and e-bikes coming from both directions. My suggestion to cyclists that think it is too unsafe to ride on the road: Wait until there is proper cycling infrastructure, instead of breaking the law. If you can’t do that, then at least ride on the curb to pass people, instead of demanding they move out of the way for you. After all, pedestrians are the ones who have the right-of-way. If you can’t accept that, leave the bike at home.

IS DRIVING SCHOOL THE ANSWER? Editor: Re: (‘Get those bikes off Kamloops sidewalks,’ July 5): Sidewalks — as the name implies — are for pedestrians. It does not indicate anywhere in the name that bikes or any other vehicle should be used on them. The issue, in my opinion, is the change the whole traffic picture has endured over the last 10 years, when Canadians discovered there was a different way to get from point A to point B. Other countries have known this for many years. Things have
pedestrians and cyclists until our inadequate infrastructure catches up to differing users needs. I’m challenged by pedestrians in two ways. First, a high percentage are wearing ear buds so, no matter what I ring or yell, they don’t hear me until I’m close. Then they glance over their shoulder and do a nervous jump out of surprise at how close I had to be to get their attention. Secondly, while we teach anyone who drives a car to always go to the right, the preponderance of pedestrians will move to their left, whether coming toward me or moving in the same direction. The result, in either case, is that they consciously move into my way. Yes, much needs to change. Tom Rankin Kamloops

McDonnell announces council bid with a ‘roll up your sleeves’attitude JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Scott McDonnell, 61, said he had an epiphany to run for council in the upcoming civic election. “I was at a function and there were a lot of people complaining about the various issues we’re facing… and I thought to myself, you know, I don’t think anyone in this room is really prepared to do anything other than complain,” he said. “I always remember our upbringing, my father saying, ‘If there is something you see that you think you can assist and fix, roll up your sleeves and get in there. Do your part.’” McDonnell, a vehicle salesperson who works for Knight Automotive, has ties to the Tournament Capital. The third-generation Kamloopsian has felt drawn to community service, like his family. His father volunteered and refereed in the sporting community, while his mother was involved in the arts and taught sign language. His grandfather, Bob Chalmers, is in the Kamloops Sports hall of fame and was one of the people who helped get built Memorial Arena. That roll-up-your-sleeves mentality instilled by family, McDonnell said, led
him to be successful in the restaurant business working for years alongside his brothers. McDonnell has a journalism education but ended up working as a chef and opening up multiple Earls restaurants and family-run operations, including Mackers (formerly located in the current Alchemy Brewing Company location in the Thompson Hotel in downtown Kamloops) and Mackers on the Mountain at Sun Peaks. Since the restaurants sold, McDonnell has done some food and beverage consulting and began working as a vehicle salesman in the past decade in his retirement from the restaurant biz. McDonnell said he is known locally as “Scottymac,” so much so some people may not recognize his full name on the ballot. McDonnell said he has no intention of becoming a politician. He said politicians worry about upsetting people, but he has thick skin. He said a city councillor, to him, is someone who comes in with a fresh perspective, does their part and then hands off the torch. He said an important attribute is listening. He said he understands that, if he is elected, he is only one of nine people on council. McDonnell said top issues are: the doctor shortage, street issues and downtown SPONSORED CONTENT
and North Shore revitalization. He said municipalities only have so much power but he doesn’t like to hear “we can’t do that.” “I’m that guy, ‘What do you mean, we can’t do that?’” McDonnell said. “There’s limitations to municipal abilities in B.C. — I get that — but they can be challenged. He said he thinks it is time to analyze constraints of the Community Charter. An idea McDonnell has to attract people downtown is to provide Kamloops residents with one hour of free parking downtown per day so that they may opt to shop at smaller local retailers, versus always going to big box stores. “The businesses that helped build Kamloops, they need to be looked after,” he said. It is not McDonnell’s first crack at politics. Prior to Sun Peaks becoming a municipality, he said he was previously elected a trustee for the community working in conjunction with the Thompson Nicola Regional District. Kevin Dergez, owner of Strategis Communications and Sugarbees Artisinal Ice Cream, is on McDonnell’s campaign team. McDonnell can be found on Instagram via @kamloopscouncillor.

Starting again in Kamloops UKRAINIAN REFUGEES SHARE TALES OF STARTING OVER AFTER FLEEING THEIR HOME COUNTRY MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER

A
33-year-old single mother and Ukrainian refugee would not let her four-yearold daughter look out the car window as they fled to the border when war began with Russia. Anna, who asked for her last name not to be published for privacy concerns, and her daughter Avrora, have called Kamloops home for two weeks. Anna is starting a job and the family is moving into a rental. Her mother and grandmother stayed behind when the Russian invasion began but are coming to live with them in Canada. “My family will be right beside me and I won’t be so crazy about where they are,” Anna said, noting she still needs to find daycare for her daughter. Anna, who is from Kherson in eastern Ukraine near Crimea, had already packed her bags and was ready to leave when Russia invaded. She said it was difficult
Sneak Peek
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Mother Anna and four-year-old daughter Avrora recently arrived in Kamloops, having fled the occupied city of Kherson. Anna said she wouldn’t let Avrora look out the window during their three-day drive to the Polish border. The two hope to soon be joined by Anna’s mother and grandmother.
to know when to leave. The war in Ukraine was preceded by conflict with Russian-backed separatists in the Donbas region, ongoing since Russia’s 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. Anna said she initially contemplated staying in Ukraine with her mother and grandmother but because of her fouryear-old daughter, she decided to leave after the fighting started and Russia began targeting the Chernobyl nuclear plant. Anna and Avrora drove for three days across the country, fleeing to Poland to stay with a friend. Anna recalled seeing bombing and clouds of smoke as she was driving.

“My city was bombarded,” she said. “When we were moving through those villages or cities, where the bombing was, it was scary. I didn’t let Avrora to look in the window.” Anna and Avrora eventually made their way to family in Ontario, entering Canada as temporary residents via the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program. Work opportunities brought the family to Kamloops. Kamloops Search and Rescue manager Alan Hobler opened up his home to Anna and Avrora free of charge. Hobler, who is more accustomed to saving people from the backcountry than a war
zone, said he had a room available and connected with Anna via a Facebook page linking people who can offer assistance to Ukrainian families. He posted that he had a room available and soon began receiving many inquiries. “I had a spare bed and there seemed to be a lot of people that would have benefitted from that bed, so it’s not a big deal for me to offer it up,” Hobler said. Anna described the act of charity as significant. She was not sure she would have enough money to find a place to stay when coming to Kamloops. She said searching for a rental was also a difficult process that at times required references from past Canadian rentals
and employers — something she did not have. Kherson is currently occupied by Russian forces. Anna said she has heard stories from people back home that Russians are moving into abandoned homes. She does not know if her house has been occupied. “They are just using our city as their own,” she said. Anna said it is a great relief to be in Kamloops. Avrora has asked about going back home to the Ukraine. Anna said she thinks they will return one day — but it will take time. “It could take years to end the war and it could take decades to rebuild the country,” she said.

72 Ukrainian refugees have come to Kamloops
THOSE FLEEING THE RUSSIAN INVASION SHARE THEIR STORIES
MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Mother Anna and four-yearold Avrora were among those who attended a recent event downtown for Ukrainian refugees. Kamloops Immigrant Services and Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Frank Caputo invited members of the Ukrainian community for ice cream outside Caputo’s office on Seymour Street. KTW dropped by the event. Smiles and Canadian flags were in abundance, live music was played and popsicles were consumed. The quintessential summertime treat provided a semblance of normalcy months into the ongoing Russian invasion. Kamloops Immigrant Services Ukrainian humanitarian effort co-ordinator, Paolo Bigit, said 72 Ukrainian refugees (32 families) have come to Kamloops. He said most have family or friends in town with whom they will stay until finding a rental. Others have received temporary housing. Bigit has helped four families secure long-term accommodations. Bigit said the city has a large Ukrainian population and events bring the community together, connecting displaced Ukrainians with those in the local Ukrainian community. “I think moments like this gets them to connect with each other, finding people who are going through the same struggles as you, beginning from scratch in a brand new country,” Bigit said. One of the Ukrainian refugees, who has connected with family already established in Kamloops, is Yaryna Oliinyk. The 26-year-old had a smile on her face as she received a Canadian flag and chocolate creamsicle. Oliinyk has called

Kamloops home for about two months after fleeing Ukraine. Her sister Sofiya Kondrashova, 28, and brother-in-law Petro Kondrashov, 38, are happy she is with them and safe. “I have to worry about at
least one person less,” said Kondrashov, who has lived in Kamloops the past two years and works for KIS. Oliinyk speaks little English. Through Kondrashov, she told KTW she is getting used to life in
Canada, and has been impressed with how close nature is to the city. She plans to return home one day if it is safe, depending on her situation. The three are all from Lviv in western Ukraine. Kondrashov said they still have family members back home in Ukraine. There has been little fighting in the west, but that fact does little to quell their concerns. “Nobody knows what can happen next,” Kondrashov said.
“It’s a war.” Tatyana Dikareva, who is originally from Ukraine, has lived in Kamloops for a decade and volunteers with KIS translating documents into Ukrainian. She rallied in support of Ukraine outside the Kamloops courthouse days after Russia invaded Ukraine. She said she is disappointed in what she feels has been global complacency over the war in Ukraine. “We used to have a lot of support,” she said. “Now people get used to it, and I don’t think it’s OK. It’s no longer fresh news.” For Dikareva, however, each day the war drags on poses fresh concern. She has family back home. “They always have their luggage in the car,” she said. “You never know when you need to flee. And me knowing they are there, I am no longer at rest.”

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops council has approved a new code of conduct, which guides how councillors behave, communicate and more. But some on council have raised concerns that it may limit free speech and debate, while there is confusion about how the policy will be interpreted and enforced. According to the policy, councillors may not use profane language on social media, must attempt to resolve conflicts of interest, must not disclose decisions until a corporate decision has been made for information to become public and more. The policy comes in advance of provincial changes requiring codes of conduct for elected officials. Councillors will be expected to sign a statement each year stating they have read and understood the policy. No enforcement measures were put in place. Two councillors are concerned about details in the policy. At a recent council meeting, Coun. Arjun Singh wondered why the policy includes a suggestion councillors display “deference” to local government offices and compared it to behaviour expected toward the Queen or an autocrat, not in a democracy. Singh questioned the policy statement that council members “must not disclose decisions until a corporate decision has been made for information to become public,” noting it is not the role of individual council members to report directly
on city business. Singh said councillors do that “all the time.” He said the policy suggests he wait for the city to put out an official communique before speaking on issues. Coun. Dieter Dudy said the city has a communications department. “We should allow them to do their work before we enter into this equation because, if we don’t, quite often we allow our personal opinions to come into it and it may be contrary to what the city as a whole or council as a whole may be trying to articulate to the community,” he said. Singh noted a clause requiring councillors protect confidential information, personal information and “other information” and questioned what other information includes. He asked what “negatively” means in the following clause: “Council members must not publish or report information or make statements attacking or reflecting negatively on staff or council members.” City corporate officer Natalie Garbay said the clause — and others of concern to Singh — was taken from other codes of conducts and/ or from recommendations by a working group formed by the Union of BC Municipalities and Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Garbay said she interprets “negatively” to mean not disparaging against staff and council members. “My problem is that it’s not defined that way,” Singh said, noting negative could be interpreted to mean disagreement over an issue between council colleagues. Singh said a clause that notes councillors attempt to “resolve” any
conflict or incompatibility between personal interests could inhibit individual choices to run for council. He said he doesn’t know how he could sell an apartment building to be on council. Dudy, however, said he did not interpret the clause to mean a councillor must divest their interests. Singh moved to strike some clauses from the policy. The motion failed, however, in a vote of 7-2. Councillors Singh and Denis Walsh voted in favour, while Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dudy, Dale Bass, Sadie Hunter, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai and Kathy Sinclair were opposed. Walsh called the policy “authoritarian,” arguing it provides control over council members and their right to have a personal opinion. He said one of the great things about municipal councils is diversity of voices, claiming the policy “quashes dissent.” Walsh said the provincial bill is not yet in place and questioned why council would implement policy now. “It’s just about three-and-a-half months before the next council comes onboard and we’re going to tell them how to conduct themselves … To me, that should be up on their agenda when they come in,” he said. Walsh’s motion to postpone a decision on the policy failed by a vote of 6-3. It was supported by Sarai, Singh and Walsh and opposed by Christian, Bass, Dudy, Hunter, O’Reilly and Sinclair. Hunter said the policy is a starting place.

July 19 public hearing on EV charging rules MEANWHILE, COUNCIL PUMPS BRAKES ON PARKING REDUCTION FOR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Proposed zoning changes that would require electric-vehicle charging readiness in new residential development beginning next year will go to a public hearing. According to a city report, the proposed zoning amendment will require new residential developments to have a “pre-wired, energized electrical outlet (208V to 240V) capable of providing level-two electric vehicle charging for a minimum of one parking space per dwelling unit.” Visitor parking spaces and residential suites, however, would be exempt. The changes, if approved, would come into effect on Jan. 1, 2023. City of Kamloops climate and sustain-

ability manager Glen Cheetham said the proposed policy revisions date back to 2020 and support the city’s transition to electric transportation. He said the majority of EV charging occurs at home and increased demand is anticipated. Cheetham noted more people are talking about electric vehicles, due to high gas prices. One year ago, city council approved a community climate action plan, which aims to reduce community emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. According to the plan, 66 per cent of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2017 came from transportation, with the majority (49 per cent) coming from passenger vehicles. Builders, however, have expressed concern about the impact of the requirement on the cost of development. Cheetham said a cost analysis found the new requirement would cost about $1,200 per stall for multifamily development and between $200 to $500 for single-family homes, depending on location. A previous proposal for 100 per cent of stalls to be EV-ready has been adjusted to one stall per dwelling unit. “We still feel that’s future-proofing

Sarai suggested a one-off project — but not citywide. Coun. Kathy Sinclair said it is not possible for everyone to ride their bike. Mayor Ken Christian pointed to concerns by Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Homebuilders Association. CHBA-CI president Tom Calne said a blanket application of .25 parking stalls for multi-family development would provide “undue stresses” on its members. West Victoria Street business owners also appeared at council. Nina Johal said vehicles spillover onto her property and onto the street from Rosethorn House supportive housing and Emerald Centre shelter across the street from her businesses, Sisters Sleep Gallery and Stereo Warehouse. Christian also noted constraints in city staffing resources at this time. “I’m thinking that this is laudable but not something that is a priority at this point in time,” Christian said. Council voted to send the issue to the development and sustainability committee, meaning it will not likely return to council for a decision until after the fall municipal election.

and that still aligns with best practice,” Cheetham said. The public hearing is on July 19. Meanwhile, council wants to pump the brakes on an idea to reduce vehicular parking requirements for apartments, row housing, townhouses and more in Kamloops. Coun. Arjun Singh brought forward the idea to reduce parking requirements for multi-family residential to .25 parking stalls per unit. Currently, the minimum vehicle parking requirement for multi-family residential varies from .7 spaces for a micro unit to two spaces per three-bedroom unit and an additional 15 per cent for visitor parking, depending on the housing type. Singh told council at a recent meeting the idea is intended to create environmentally friendly and affordable housing. He called it “bold” and said other communities are going down a similar road. Concerns, however, were raised by both the public and members on council prompting Coun. Dale Bass to suggest deferral to council’s development and sustainability committee, before it comes back to council. Coun. Bill Sarai called it “extreme” and said a majority of residents still need a car.

B.C.’s independent watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office of BC, has cleared a Kamloops Mountie of wrongdoing following an investigation into a crash east of Kamloops last September that claimed the life of a motorcyclist. Donovin Akerley, 35, died in the crash when his eastbound motorcycle on Highway 1 collided in an intersection with a pickup truck that was turning left from Highland Road. Akerley was speeding and failed to stop at a red light, striking the turning truck. He was pronounced
deceased at the scene. Shortly before, he passed a police van going in the same direction. The RCMP vehicle later came upon the crash scene, stopped and called it in to dispatch. The IIO investigated whether the officer driving the police vehicle committed an offence through his actions or inactions. The IIO’s findings were based on police recordings and statements from multiple civilian witnesses and police officers. According to the report, Akerley passed in between the police van and a civilian vehicle travelling in the left and right lanes of the twolane highway and the officer briefly activated his emergency lights in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to signal the motorcyclist then turned them off and did not pursue the vehicle. The IIO report noted concern the officer did not immediately tell the investigating officer who arrived on scene after him that he had activated his emergency lights when the motorcycle passed him but, rather, relayed that message on the way home, over the phone, to another officer who was a union representative. “The evidence, however, does not rise to the level of grounds to believe that SO’s [subject officer’s] delayed report of his involvement was wilful, or any more than inadvertent or negligent,” the report reads.
ARREST FOLLOWS WESTMOUNT BREAK AND ENTER Police arrested a man following a break and enter in Westmount over the July long weekend. Kamloops RCMP responded at 11:30 p.m. on July 2 to a report of a home intruder on the 300block of Collingwood Drive.
According to Kamloops RCMP, residents were alerted to the intruder via their security camera. “Police conducted patrols and located a man matching the suspect’s description soon after,”
a Kamloops RCMP press release states. “He was arrested, held in custody until sober, and released with a court date and conditions as part of the charge recommendation and assessment process.”

Tiny House Warrior receives sentence MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The last of three members of the Tiny House Warriors charged in connection with crashing a closed-door meeting on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project at Thompson Rivers University in 2018 has been sentenced in Kamloops provincial court. Isha Jules was given an absolute discharge on June 29, having earlier this year been found guilty of causing a distur-
bance and mischief for spilling red paint on the campus. Jules was acquitted on two counts of assault. An absolute discharge is the lowest level sentence in which, while a finding of guilt is made, no conviction is registered, nor does any probation come into effect. Jules, alongside Nicole Manuel and Chantel Manuel, stood trial in May 2021 on counts of mischief, causing a disturbance and assault in connection with the Dec. 10, 2018, incident.
The trio was part of a group of protesters that deliberately spilled red paint outside the university’s Campus Activity Centre before storming the doors to the Grand Hall inside the building, where representatives from Natural Resources Canada and Trans Mountain were meeting with First Nations leadership under the guidance of former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Frank Iacobucci. In January, Judge Stella Frame handed down rulings on the myriad charges, rendering

some guilty verdicts and some acquittals. In March, Nicole Manuel was sentenced to 12 months’ probation on convictions of causing a disturbance, mischief in relation to spilling the paint at the CAC and assaulting a Trans Mountain security guard in the skirmish to enter the Grand Hall. In May, Chantel Manuel was sentenced to 12 months’ probation on two counts of assault and causing a disturbance, but had previously been acquitted of the mischief charge.

MERRITT SENIOR DIED IN HIGHWAY 5 CRASH LAST MONTH WEST OF KAMLOOPS A Merritt woman in her 70s has been identified as the victim of a crash on Highway 5 west of Kamloops near Sugarloaf Road last month. Mounties responded the afternoon of June 17 to the area for a two-vehicle collision in
which a southbound vehicle collided with the rear of a transport truck broken down in the lane, according to police. The woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle, died at the scene. The vehicle’s driver was taken to hospital with serious, but not life-
threatening, injuries. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
THREE DEAD IN SORRENTO CRASH Three people died in a head-on crash on July 5 on Highway 1 near Sorrento. Paramedics
and Mounties responded to the crash, which occurred at about 1 p.m. on the highway near Little River Boat World when a black sedan collided with a SUV. The BC Coroners Service is conducting an investigation into the deaths of a 51-year-old
Sorrento man and a 67-year old woman and a 60-year-old man, both from Blind Bay. The cause of the crash is under investigation, but witnesses reported that the black sedan drove into the oncoming lane of the SUV.

Province recommends fall COVID-19 boosters COVID-19 booster shots will be available to a majority of British Columbians again this fall and new versions of vaccine, better equipped to tackle variants, are expected to be available by then. B.C. residents ages 12 and older will qualify for a fall booster shot, the province unveiled during an update on its immunization plan on Friday. Fourth shots have already been offered since April to the elderly (ages 70 and older and long-term care residents), indigenous people ages 55 and older and individuals most at risk in the province, such as the immunosuppressed. Residents should expect invitations to book a booster shot. As of July 6, 2.8-million third doses had been administered in British Columbia, which is about 60 per cent of residents ages 12 and older. Individuals who received two shots and a booster dose between April and May were five times less likely to be hospitalized as a risk of complications from the virus as those
who were unvaccinated, according to the province. Although society continues to reopen following two years of restrictions during a global pandemic, the Ministry of Health warns that COVID-19 continues to circulate in communities and experts warn of a seventh wave upon us.

Expect trail detours, as FortisBC works in Peterson Creek this summer FortisBC is warning Peterson Creek users of work in the park this summer, with some trail detours to be expected. The natural gas company said in a press release areas will be fenced off between July and mid-September
and that the Tom Moore trail will be detoured, as a section of the natural gas line that runs through the park is replaced. “This is routine work FortisBC does to ensure its natural gas system continues to operate safely in the
community,” a press release from FortisBC states. Restoration work will follow construction. Park users should also expect to see vehicles and equipment and are warned to stay clear and follow signage.

Nutrition Healthcare service reductions continue Healthylife healthylifenutrition.ca • Sahali Mall • 250-828-6680
The emergency room at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwater shuttered over the weekend, due to limited staffing. Patients who would otherwise attend the Clearwater emergency department were directed to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Kamloops NorthThompson MLA Peter Milobar called the
Clearwater emergency room closure “unacceptable” in a tweet to B.C.’s Health Minister, Adrian Dix. “Too many closures of the ER and diverting people over an hour-and-a-half to an already busy ER in Kamloops is no solution,” Milobar wrote. On Monday, Premier John Horgan hosted a meeting with Canada’s pre-
miers, during which time healthcare was expected to be among topics discussed. The provinces have asked the federal government to increase healthcare transfers. The federal government, however, has said it provided additional money to the provinces during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as funding for targeted programming.

New fire ban comes into effect July 15 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Additional fire prohibitions — including the banning of fireworks — will begin later this week in Kamloops and surrounding areas. Campfires, however, will be allowed to continue. The BC Wildfire Service released news of the ban on Tuesday morning, as weather forecasts in the Kamloops area were calling for a period of hot weather. Effective at noon on Friday, July 15, category two open fires, as well as other
equipment and activities, will be prohibited in the Kamloops Fire Centre and surrounding fire protection regions. The ban will take effect from Lillooet to Clearwater, Vernon, Penticton, Merritt and Kamloops. The prohibitions will remain in effect until Oct. 15 or until orders are rescinded. Banned activities include: • category two open fires (open fire that burns material in one pile not exceeding two meters high and three metres wide and stubble or grass over .2 hectares); • category three open fires (open fire
in three or more piles not exceeding two meters high and three metres wide and grass or stubble over .2 hectares); • fireworks and sky lanterns; • burn barrels or burn cages, except when used for a campfire defined by the wildfire regulation. Consequences for those caught burning in contravention of the ban include steep fines and even jail time. Should a wildfire occur as a result of a prohibited fire, the person may be ordered to pay firefighting and associated costs.
Stolen puppies prompt police to ask for public help KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Mounties are hoping the public can help sniff out the mystery surrounding a litter of puppies missing from the home of a local dog breeder. KTW heard from the sister of Dainya Watson, 33, who died suddenly in her home in the 2500-block of Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst on June 28. Watson’s sister, 29-year-old Kearston Burton-Weatherhead of Chilliwack, said within about an hour of police and medical personnel leaving the home at about 6 a.m.,
a thief or thieves stole eight Alapaha blue blood bulldog puppies from Watson’s front yard. She said her sister bred the puppies as a business and three families had already paid for the dogs and scheduled to pick them up. She said Watson lived with two roommates, both of whom were in the house and neither of whom witnessed the puppies being taken. She said a vehicle of interest was seen in the area: a silver or black 2000 Honda Odyssey mini-van. Police received two reports regarding the puppies, but they contained conflicting details.
Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn told KTW that police received a report involving theft of the puppies. “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. She said police received another report indicating someone in a black van had stolen seven puppies. “Right now what they’re doing [investigators] is following up on the leads,” Evelyn said. “That’s why we’re asking the
BCLC supports
public if they did buy or receive one of the puppies they think could be related to this to please contact us. It can help get more information and figure out exactly what’s going on.” Evelyn confirmed the puppies were present in the home when police attended the June 28 death. If anyone recently purchased or received a puppy they think may be related to the investigation or knows the whereabouts of the puppies, they are asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250828-3000 and reference file 2022-22226.

Vandalism program aims to aid city’s businesses Know of a business in town that recently had their window smashed? It may qualify for reimbursement from the city. A city-funded grant program that aims to help local businesses impacted by vandalism and graffiti has been extended, following a recent decision
by city council. Council heard $50,000 previously allotted through a service agreement with Kamloops Chamber of Commerce still has a majority of its funds remaining, about $33,000. Businesses must provide a photo of the damage, repair and receipt or insur-
ance claim and submit a grant application to be eligible for up to $500 and no more than 50 per cent of the claim. City of Kamloops external relations liaison Sarah Candido said the Chamber has received dozens of applications for the program and provided 29 reim-
bursements to businesses, for a total of $17,000. Candido said most of the grants (22 of 29) provided to local businesses were for broken glass replacement. Most businesses that have applied are located downtown, although businesses can apply from anywhere in the city.
The city launched the program last year in response to concerns from residents about property crime. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky recently said property crime continues to be a challenge for police, including business property crime.
Council voted unanimously, nine to zero, to extend the vandalism cleanup program until the end of 2023 or until a time when the $50,000 budget has been fully utilized. To apply for vandalism cleanup support, go online to https://tinyurl.com/ jr7a4tc8.

SPORTS Blazers recap NHL Draft day INSIDE: Mey, 85, wins five medals at worlds | A25
MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Maple Leafs’ draft pick Fraser Minten survived his bout with rabid media wolves, many of them reporting back to Toronto on Friday from the NHL Draft in Montreal. “They’re not ripping me apart just yet,” Minten said with a laugh. “I haven’t played for them yet, so there’s no reason for that. The questions were nice and easy. “The social media presence, with a ton of Leafs’ fans following me and messaging me, that’s been probably more of a new thing than the media.” Minten, a left-shot forward from Vancouver, was picked by the Leafs in Round 2 (38th overall) and gained about 2,200 Instagram followers on the weekend. An increase in social media fame is only a small footnote in what was a memorable weekend for Minten and three of his Kamloops Blazers’ teammates. The Buffalo Sabres snagged defenceman Mats Lindgren in Round 4 (106th overall), the New York Islanders selected forward Daylan Kuefler in Round 6 (174th overall) and the Dallas Stars picked forward Matthew Seminoff in Round 6 (179th overall). “It was pretty emotional,” said Kuefler, a left-shot forward from Stettler, Alta, who is entering his overage major junior campaign. “It’s something every day you dream of as a kid growing up, playing mini-sticks or road hockey. “Your body floods with every emotion in the book.” Kuefler hit the links at Pheasantback Golf Club on Friday morning in Stettler before returning home to watch the draft with

his family and best childhood buddy. The phone rang at about noon. “My agent called,” Kuefler said. “He said, ‘Have you seen the news?’ I hadn’t seen it yet. He’s like, ‘Well, keep watching.” Islanders’ president and general manager Lou Lamoriello was on the horn about 20 minutes later. “I felt a little starstruck,” Kuefler said. “You dream of having your name called on draft day. To have mine up on that board, it was … oh, it was incredible.” Kuefler’s path to the NHL Draft was not a straight line. He was selected by the Blazers in the 10th round (212th overall)
of the 2017 WHL Prospects Draft and did not pop up on the NHL Draft radar until this past season, his 19-year-old campaign. “It might be a little more unique than other guys,” said Kuefler, who lived with Blazers’ part-owner Shane Doan in Arizona for a season. “It felt like a different route. It’s something that doesn’t happen overnight. You’ve got to put in the work to be rewarded like I was yesterday.” Minten and Lindgren took a more traditional route, nabbed in the NHL Draft in their first year of eligibility after promising 17-yearold seasons. Lindgren is aiming to follow in the footsteps of his father,
also named Mats Lindgren, the former NHLer who toiled for the Vancouver Canucks, among other teams. “You watch the top guys in the NHL, they play both sides of the game. That’s the type of player I want to be. My goal is to win the Norris trophy one day,” Lindgren told reporters at the draft in Montreal. “I got a little antsy. You always see these lists and where you’re projected. I was sitting there waiting. Just hearing my name was tremendous. You get the feeling of happiness after all the work you’ve put in all these years. Just being drafted overall is an amazing feeling. It doesn’t really matter where you go. Where

you prove yourself is in camp. I’m just so happy to be drafted to such a great organization and stoked to get going with them.” Seminoff joins Blazers’ teammate Logan Stankoven on the list of Stars’ prospects. Tom Gaglardi owns both the Stars and Blazers. Minten’s draft week experience was filled with notable interactions. “You get to go from Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer,” said Minten, noting the Leafs were among teams that showed keen interest in him leading up to the draft. “Shane Doan from Arizona. Scott Niedermayer with the Ducks. Kyle Dubas. You see Brendan Shanahan’s there, sitting right beside you. Ron Hextall of the Penguins. Brian Burke. Lots of guys you’ve heard about your whole life. It’s pretty cool to be interacting with them. It was a very crazy week.” Minten had time to slow down and reflect on Sunday morning after returning home to the Lower Mainland, where he took his grandpa Peter for a round of golf. “It was super nice to spend some time with him,” Minten said. “He’s been a big supporter of my hockey all through my life. He’s super happy and proud of me. It’s pretty cool to get to see his excitement about it, as well. “It’s pretty hard to put into words. I felt super proud. It felt richly deserved and rewarding. It’s been a dream of mine. I’m proud of where I’ve been able to get to as a player and being selected that high to an organization like that, it couldn’t really have been better, so pure joy in the moment. “It was one of the highlights of my life.”

Rivers to host Varsity at Hillside Rivers FC suffered a pair of defeats to Unity FC of Langley in League1 BC Soccer action on Saturday on McArthur Island. Unity edged Rivers 3-2 in women’s play, with Taylor Miller and Camryn Curts bulging the old onion bag in a losing
effort, one of RFC’s best performances of the season. The women’s team from Langley improved to 6-4-0 on the campaign and sits third in league standings, six points behind first-place Varsity FC (9-1-0) of Vancouver. Rivers is in the
seven-team-league basement, with a record of 1-7-1. Jackson Thompson scored the winner — during second-half stoppage time — for Unity in a 1-0 triumph over Rivers on Saturday in men’s action. Varsity (8-1-1) sits atop the table,
16 points ahead of fifth-place Rivers (2-4-3). The Kamloops club will play host to Varsity in men’s and women’s play on Saturday, July 16, at Hillside Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. for the men’s tilt, with the women to follow at 3:30 p.m.

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 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.
In 1988 she was predeceased by her husband Raymond of 27 years and a month prior to her passing, her granddaughter Alyssa. She is survived by her partner Leigh of 32 years, sister Doreen, brother Sidney and her nine children, Brenda (Grant), Brad, Clayton, Sheila (Scott), Karen, Bonnie (Ted), Tracy (Dez), Trevor (Nancy), Shawna (Bill), twenty-five grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Please join us for a luncheon and celebration of life which will be held Saturday, July 23rd, 2022 from 12:00-2:00 pm at the North Shore Community Center, 730 Cottonwood Avenue #452, Kamloops, BC.

Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. Why so many ashes from my little grandpa? A. Cremated remains are bone fragments. A little person from Sahali might have great bone mass and more ashes; a larger person from NorKam might have small bones and less ashes. The ashes usually weight anywhere from about 4 to 8 pounds.

Fly Me He understands every mode of force He knows what’s true of the elements He is subtle but genuine at lift off and landing He is an airplane ride blowing through the clouds He is an airplane window that reveals a whole dimension He is a propeller to delve farther deep into the universe like fractals He is an airplane grounded in the sky mighty with fuel He is an airplane engine efficient, sustaining and swift He is a wing of a plane that stabilizes my lift He has an open storage to keep the baggage balanced on flight He has a trap door that releases the body of pain He has a water tank to keep the peace Here is a safe place to crash A ride in the sky at night reveals a bright shiny movement You, my plane, are visible to the naked eye in each spectrum

Am I your passenger? Am I your wingman? Am I your baggage? Am I your well oiled engine? Am I your wing? Am I your lift in the air? Am I your propeller that thrusts you to a new dimension? I am all that you shape me to be You have a windshield view exposing the picture beyond Only you fit the pilot’s seat As your hands and feet heart and eyes are trained to work the plane You know every part and how to fix it You are navigating by the spirit You belong to a solid tender heart and so accepted as firm to soar You’re worth the shiniest mint coins and bills in circulation and so loved Your competence as an airplane secures my place For more experiences with you Will you invite me onboard?

March 1, 1937 - January 30, 2022 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Mary. She was called home to the Lord on Sunday, January 30, 2022 with family members by her side. Mary was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan on March 1, 1937.
Please join us for an informal celebration of life for Fenna Cook. On Saturday, July 30, 2022 at 11:00 am at Paul Lake near the beach by the day use picnic table.
A Vanished Friend Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend! by Anders Lim

John Benson Casteel 1942 - 2022
With hearts broken into splinters, we, the family of John Benson Casteel announce his passing on 1 July, 2022 in the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice, Kamloops, B.C. John was born on 28 October, 1942, to Arthur & Grace Casteel in Oakwood, Illinois, USA. He grew up and attended school in Oakwood, Illinois, graduating from high school in 1958. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree from University of Southern Illinois, he attended Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, graduating with a Masters in Forest Management. After working in the forests of Norway and Finland for a couple of years, his sense of duty directed him to return to the US, and enlist in the US Navy. He spent 6 years serving his country. Two years in the US Airforce Reserve (ROTC), and 4 years, in the US Navy, including 18 months serving in Vietnam during that conflict. On receiving an honorable discharge in October of 1968, he married Bernice Mogusson, and together they travelled across Canada until he found employment with Lakeland Mills in northern B.C. In 1971, their only child, daughter Diane, was born in Prince George, B.C. In early 1989, he found himself alone again, and in the fall of 1991, he married his soulmate Bernice E. Atherton (nee Johnson). After their retirement in 2002, they moved to Chase where John enjoyed his large garden, happy to give produce to his family, neighbours, friends, church family, and anyone who needed it. John & Bernice travelled extensively to Australia, England, Norway, Hawaii, the midwestern United States, eastern Canada, and Cuba. They spent 14 winters at their park model home in Sun Vista Resort, Yuma, Arizona, where John served as head usher at the community church in the park for several winters, led the Investment Club, and enjoyed his nightly bike ride around the park. A quiet person by nature, yet John loved to discuss politics, economics, philosophy, philanthropy, and the stock market with anyone he met. He had a very strong faith, and read his Bible every morning with out fail. At the time of his passing, he had served as Chairman of the Board of the E. Free Church in Chase.

Emilia (Leigh) Marini June 8, 1932 - June 9, 2022
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Emilia (Leigh) Marini, who passed one day after her 90th birthday – surrounded by love and in the presence of her family. Mom is survived by her husband of 67 years, Mitch, as well as her five children Michelle, Julie (Ken), John (Janice), Robin, and Andrea (Bruce). Also left to mourn are her ten grandchildren, Angela, David, Joel, Kristen, Miranda, Adam, Rudy, Emily, Danielle and Joey, and her two greatgrandchildren, Ryder and Noah. She was predeceased by her parents and her siblings Leo, Joe, and Ann, but her remaining siblings Helen, Ella, Val (Ruth), Don (Pat), and Len (Bea) also mourn her loss. Family was everything for mom. She had a kind and loving way about her and only saw the good in people, which was felt by all who met her. Mom enjoyed spending time at the cabin, tending her garden, and helping out at the church. She was always there to lend an ear, give good advice or share a smile or caring hug with whomever needed it. Our family has so many great memories of this monumental and influential matriarch, who we will never forget. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends, but her love will live on in all of us. Special thanks to Dr. Cribb and Diane for always being there for mom, to Fr. Fred Weisbeck for his kind words and presence during mom’s last days, and to the many caregivers throughout the past year and a half, who gave mom exemplary care, especially Teresa Marini, Nicole Bereiziat, and Bonnie Tindall. Mom was blessed with your kindness and love. No service at this time. A celebration of life will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please do a random act of kindness for someone in keeping with one of mom’s favourite sayings: “Kill them with kindness

Ivy was born in Lonebutte, AB on February 20, 1931, to Samuel and Noel Blair. She was raised on the family farm in Picture Butte, AB, eventually attending Old’s College, studying Home Economics. Ivy met and married Ray in 1951 while living in Lethbridge. They went on to live in Edmonton, Dawson Creek, and eventually settling in Kamloops in the 1960’s. She attended College of the Cariboo (now TRU), completing bookkeeping studies in order to manage the administrative duties within her husband’s business, Allison Outdoor Advertising, until retirement in 1984. Ivy was a talented seamstress that took on any project big or small including upholstery. She had a love for horses from a young age and enjoyed many rides in the wilderness with her friends. Ivy was an avid volunteer with significant involvement in the Lion’s Club and the Legion, serving on the Ladies Auxiliary and running the weekly meat draws for too many years to count. She was passionate about baking and always went above and beyond for multiple charity bake sale events throughout the community. Ivy’s door was always open to friends and family. It was a given that there would always be a fresh pie or 3 along with cake and a variety of goodies. She loved to entertain, going all out for any gathering. Ivy was kind, generous, caring, and had a big heart. Her sense of humour was spot on and she loved to laugh as well as make others laugh. She resided at Gemstone Care Centre just short of 7 years. Mom had a select few staff members that she loved, because they paused, noticed, and took good care of her, along with being fun and jovial. We know she left her mark.

Susann Lavon Borth formerly of Kamloops passed away on June 13, 2022, in Vanderhoof, BC with her family by her side. Susann was born on July 16, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska and moved to Vanderhoof, BC, Canada with her husband Clark in 1973. Susann had many talents and pursued many great adventures. She was an accomplished musician, playing piano since she was 3 years old and played for church services, weddings, and funerals. She was instrumental in the formation of the first Air Shows in Vanderhoof, was part owner and manager of the Gang Ranch, and political assistants for a US Senator and a BC MLA. She was also an office manager, bookkeeper, rancher, and farmer. First and foremost, she was a devoted mother and wife. Susann and Clark moved to Kamloops in 2000 for a warmer climate. They enjoyed camping and gardening and were members of the Kamloops Vintage Car Club and active members in their church. Susann battled breast cancer over the past 10 years. She was always positive throughout. Susann is survived by her children David (Shelly), Lori (Wayne), Timothy (Jillian), grandchildren Serene (Andrew), Brenden (Krystal), Rachelle (Devon), Erin (Greg), Taylor (Nick), Riley and Logan and great-grandchildren Andi Jo and Liam. Susann was predeceased by her husband Clark and her parents Cecil and Verna Brookshire. A Memorial Service will be held for Susann on Saturday, July 16, 2022, at St. Andrews Lutheran Church, 815 Renfrew Ave in Kamloops at 2:00 pm. Susann had an immense love for animals. In lieu of flowers donations to the BCSPCA in Susann’s name are greatly appreciated. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca
We’d like to express our gratitude to Dr. Andrew Wynne for his exceptional care and kindness, going above and beyond with many personal phone calls and consultations over these challenging years. She was blessed to have you as her MD. Thank you! Ivy used her humour to get through the tough stages of decline. Once she lost her mobility and independence, life became very challenging for her, as she had always been fiercely independent with zero reliance on anyone. Along with her impeccable humour, her true nature as a farm girl remained in tact right through to the end.

Young Kamloops scientists get recognition ANSH VASHISHT ONE OF THREE ST. ANN’S STUDENTS AWARDED SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
Three Kamloops students have seen success at national science fairs in recent weeks, picking up awards at two different Canada-wide competitions. The students, who are all from St. Ann's Academy, include: Eboni Samaha, a Grade 8 student who earned the Junior Bronze Excellence Award, Grade 12 student Adam Paton, who came home with the Senior Silver Excellence Award and Ansh Vashisht, who earned the Sanofi Biogenius Canada award in the intermediate category at the Canada-Wide Science Fair held in May. KTW spoke with Vashisht about his work. He said his recognition all started with a class project on food-borne illnesses. The topic led him to superbugs and alternative ways to combat the bacteria E. coli. "I hadn't heard of superbugs at the time but, from the research I did, I figured out they're immune to antibiotics in our modern health-care systems," Vashisht said. Vashisht used bacteriophages, which are a type of virus that infects bacteria, to combat E. coli and

Ansh Vashisht and his E. coli defense presentation won a special award and a cash prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in May. He came home with a $750 prize, which may fund next year’s submission in another branch of science.
accurately measured their efficiency and the prospect of their use against superbugs, which have evolved resistance to antibiotics. “I’ve been researching a lot more stories about how they [doctors] have to leave patients and have nothing to do except wait,” Vashisht said. “This is definitely a
problem that, if we don't solve it in the next 10 or 20 years, there could be mass, rapid casualties.” The Grade 9 student has found a passion for science and plans on sampling each of its many branches before university, when he knows he'll have to narrow his focus.
At the second regional science fair Vashisht attended, he picked up a cash prize for his presentation on energy-efficient windows. “I’d won $200 and I thought, 'Wow, I should keep doing science fairs for the money,’” he said. “But then I started thinking
again and thought it would be better for the things I could do and the recognition I could get.” When asked who has helped him most along the way, Vashisht said his mom and that she has learned along the way, too. “She doesn't know a lot about the science, but

she does know enough,” he said. “This year, I asked her if I could have E. coli, and she agreed, but first she had to research it.” After presenting regionally, Vashisht's latest project was chosen to move to the national Canada-Wide Science Fair competition, where it won the Sanofi Biogenius Canada bronze award. The win also earned the 14-year-old $750, which he said he'll save or use toward next year's project. It may not be in biology. “I always try to do a different type of project, maybe engineering, just to get experience in all areas,” he said.

Mapping the future of Kamloops, in your hands KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The City of Kamloops has presented its first Strategic Cultural Plan since 2003, in collaboration with Kamloops Museum and Archives. Together, with Thompson Rivers University and the TRU/ City of Kamloops Researcherin-Residence partnership, You Are Here has transformed the
museum’s second floor into a summer-long cultural mapping research lab. Participants can drop in and help create a collective vision for Kamloops' cultural future. Its purpose is to understand how, where and why — to create a landscape in which everyone’s culture has a chance to be seen. The museum’s second floor, curated exhibition of historical
images, maps and texts gives context to the Cultural Strategic Plan for participants. You Are Here explores the notion that people, place and culture are each shaped by one another. The project provides handson ways for individuals and communities to share their experiences of Kamloops culture and to present their own
voice of their visions for the city’s cultural future. Data is gathered through cultural mapping activities and interviews. As the project unfolds, more interviews, cultural maps and other data will be produced and displayed for the public. Visitors can take copies of select materials, making the project a site for the
exchange of cultural information. Individuals and communities from the region will join the conversation through interviews, talks and presentations. The project runs until Sept. 24. Kamloops Museum and Archives is open Tuesdays to Saturdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission to the museum is free during the exhibition.
City looking for volunteers to help people beat the heat this summer Have a little time to help protect your neighbours from extreme heat this summer? The city is looking for people to volunteer at cooling centres, as it works to respond to extreme temperatures. The province has implemented a new heat alert plan following last year’s deadly heat dome and the city has provided its own clear direction about how it will work to
protect residents during extreme heat events, including indoor and outdoor cooling centres. Such centres will be launched when the forecast is 35 C or hotter. Volunteers are sought for up to three locations: Sandman Centre, the Parkview Activity Centre in North Kamloops and the Valleyview Community Hall. The centres will be open from noon to
8 p.m. on days of activations and volunteers are being asked to contribute four-hour shifts. “Volunteers are an extremely important component of our heat response plan, and we’re asking residents to consider volunteering their time during a heat warning,” the city’s recreation, health and wellness supervisor, Linda Stride, said in a press release. “When a
cooling centre is activated, it is initially staffed by city employees; however, in the event of an extended heat event or a concurrent emergency, volunteers would be required to keep cooling centres open.” Last year’s heat wave killed nearly 600 people in British Columbia, including 17 people in Kamloops. On June 29, 2021, the
temperature reached a recordsetting 47.3 C in the Tournament Capital. As of Friday morning, Environment Canada's seven-day forecast was calling for temperature highs into the low-30 C range. To volunteer, go online to: kamloops.ca/public-safety/ emergency-preparedness/heatresponse.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A former Kamloops resident who made a run on season 20 of the hit reality television show American Idol is taking his talents to Aberdeen Mall. Locals will get to see what impressed the judges as Cameron Whitcomb will hold a free live performance at the centre court of the mall on Friday, July 15, at 6 p.m. The then-18-year-old got his golden ticket and advanced to the top 20 of
this year’s competition. He fell short, however, of the final 14 when he was not among judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan’s choices joining the top 10 contestants who advanced via audience vote. During his time on the show, Whitcomb became known for his trademark backflips. Upon being eliminated, Whitcomb expressed his thankfulness to the show for changing his life and vowed they “haven’t heard the last of me yet.” Whitcomb, now 19,
attended high school in Nanaimo and lived in Kamloops for a time working as a labourer on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project and at Barnes Harley-Davidson. He has since moved back to Nanaimo. He told Kamloops This Week in May he wants to get more gigs under his belt and has been taking acting classes and spending time in the recording studio making music, as he tries to break into the entertainment industry.

Teaching Your Kids About Money Eric and I have two kids each who proudly are the centre of our worlds. As much as we want them to have nice things in life, we feel it is also important to teach them about money and healthy financial habits. Here are some tips to help talk to children about money: 1.
2.
Split money into three buckets: Spend, Save and Share. This helps teach children to think about what they can do with money, that spending is not the only option, and the importance of saving and helping others. Talk about how you make money and where it is spent. Given the prominence of credit and debit cards and other payment technology, kids rarely see money change hands. Letting kids know that money does not grow on trees but rather comes from hard work is important. Understanding your job pays for your house, food, car, gas, internet can be things they may take for granted.

Share money mistakes you have made. Kids love hearing parents are fallible. Within reason, share stories of mistakes you have made and how you learned the hard way. Examples could include overspending on your first credit card or regretting that you did not start saving sooner in life. Set a financial goal. Show them how to plan and save up for something such as a new video game, expensive clothing they MUST have, or even their first car. What are they willing to do for it? How long will it take? It also teaches trade-offs and financial discipline – what we feel are two great attributes to long term financial success. Kids who have worked hard to earn their reward also feel empowered versus entitled. Teach them how to negotiate. Overcharged on a bill? Have them listen as you problem solve and work to get your money back using positive conflict resolution skills. Ask them what they think is fair to be paid for chores. Why do they deserve more allowance? This also helps teach them the value of their time.
It is paramount to explain credit cards and the impact of paying upwards of 20% interest on the balance. 7.
Get them involved. Grocery shopping can be a great experience to learn what things cost, how to look for sales and work within a budget.
8.
Tell them no. Our kids are not shy asking repeatedly for things. While wanting to do nice things for our kids, we also want to avoid raising entitled children. Sometimes the best answer is no.
9.
Pay for half. Growing up, our parents would sometimes compromise to pay for half a purchase. This meant we had to raise the other half and would look for the best deal as it saved us money.
By teaching kids about money, it can help them grow up to be financially savvy and confident. It could save parents money in the long run too! Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well. Written by Keith
Discuss the impact of fees and interest. Show them where to review items such as bank fees, cell phone bills, or how interest charges add up and take a bite out of hard-earned money.
