ON THE ROAD FOR BOB

Gary Averbach, 79, walked into Kamloops on Sunday, as part of a long-distance trek in support of cancer research. Dubbed Bob’s Walk for Cancer Research, Averbach is walking from Calgary to Vancouver in memory of his late cousin, Bob. He has walked more than 500 kilometres and raised more than $326,000. For information on how to support Averbach’s cause, turn to page B4.

Kamloopa Powwow organizers have issued an apology and made changes, following public backlash to event rules said to discriminate against those who are of partial indigenous ancestry, two-spirit and young mothers. On July 12, the Kamloopa Powwow Society posted its dance rules online for those participating in the 41st annual competition. The powwow

is set to return from July 29 to July 31 after two years of cancellations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The document stated participants must be at least one-quarter native blood. Other rules stated: each contestant must dress in full regalia and be of the “correct gender” for that category. Those participating in the princess pageant were required to be single, have no children or spouse and be a female enrolled in high school. See SOCIAL MEDIA, A14

Latest census data includes income, household, military service stats KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The latest data from the 2021 census has been released by Statistics Canada, painting an updated picture of demographics around Canada, including in Kamloops. Topics covered by the latest data release include family composition, income and military service.

The data shows increases in after-tax income in all provinces except Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador. In Kamloops, the average household income increased from $80,000 in 2015 to $88,000 in 2020. By the numbers, 50,685 earners in Kamloops earned less than $50,000 in 2020, while 22,875 earned between

$50,000 and $100,000 and 8,715 reported an income of more than $100,000. The agency also noted that fewer Canadians reported income in 2020, particularly women, lowerincome earners and older workers. It also noted that two thirds of Canadian adults received income from at least one pandemic relief pro-

gram. Income inequality also declined in all provinces and territories, with Alberta seeing the biggest change. Other household data released on July 13 shows more people living alone than ever — a total of 4.4-million Canadians, including 13,315 people in Kamloops. More women live alone (7,210) than men

(6,205), which is a trend that holds provincially and nationally. Of those, most live in houses (detached) and apartments (less than five storeys). The average number of children per household is slightly lower in Kamloops (2.7) compared to B.C. (2.8) and the rest of Canada (2.9). The data also showed 4,895

single-parent families in the city. The stats agency also reported on military service. In the 2021 census, 95 residents of Kamloops indicated they were active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, in either the regular or reserve forces. That figure includes 70 men and 25 women.

WATERING PROPERLY FOR PLANT HEALTH

ELECTRIC AVENUE AT HOT NITE IN THE CITY

ROYAL AVENUE LOTS FOR SALE

Plants in the landscape are constantly defending themselves from enemies. Pests prefer plants that are stressed, and one of the most common causes of plant stress is improper watering.

Do you drive an electric car? Show off your EV on Electric Avenue at Hot Nite in The City! Electric Avenue is the place for Hot Nite attendees to learn about EV technology, charging, and more.

Under watering stresses plants, which makes them more prone to pest problems.

Be one of the first 25 EV registrants and receive a gift card to Downtown Kamloops.

The City is selling five lots on Royal Avenue. Located on the Rivers Trail and between McDonald Park and McArthur Island, the lots are serviced and ready for construction. The minimum offers range from $360,000 to $370,000 plus GST, depending on the lot.

Over watering increases the risk of plant disease and attracts certain insects that prefer lush, weak growth. It is not in your plant’s best interest to water every second day. To encourage deep rooting and drought resistance, water deeply, thoroughly, and less often.

Electric Avenue and Hot Nite in the City are happening Saturday, August 6, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, in downtown Kamloops.

Let soil moisture be your guide for watering frequency. Squeeze a handful of soil. If soil is too dry to form a ball, you’ve waited too long to water. If soil forms a crumbly ball, it’s time to water. If the soil forms a ball and is slick, there is no need to water yet. Learn more on this topic at: Kamloops.ca/HealthyLandscapes

Sealed offers on individual and multiple lots will be received until 1:00 pm on August 19. Property information, title documents and related reports, details on the offer process, and information on how to submit an offer are available at: Kamloops.ca/RealEstate

Sprinkling and irrigating are not allowed between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm on any day. • Even-numbered addresses may only sprinkle or irrigate on even-numbered days. • Odd-numbered addresses may only sprinkle or irrigate on odd-numbered days.

RIH patient care tower now open JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Royal Inland Hospital’s new patient care tower opened on Monday, as the province announced investments in operating rooms and staff retention and recruitment. The $417-million Phil and Jennie Gaglardi tower includes single-patient rooms, mental health and substance use spaces, new labour and delivery rooms, a neurosciences and trauma unit, rooftop helipad and more. “It’s been a long time coming,” B.C.’s health minister, Adrian Dix, said during a press conference. He touted single-patient rooms with their own washrooms, large spaces for families to gather and the ability for smudging. Interior Health CEO Susan Brown called the move on Sunday “sleek,” with administration and medical staff onsite to help. “As you can imagine, it’s a fairly complex move,” she said. “And, overall, very little hiccups. There’s always things you find out as Dr. [Todd] Ring told me, sometimes a door

will stay open too long. Those are very minor things and I think, overall, what I’m hearing, was there was a lot of happiness yesterday [Sunday] in the building.” Brown said the new environment will aid in patient healing and provide a better work environment for staff. Staffing issues have plagued the hospital of late. Interior Health said in a statement staff levels fluctuate from day to day but the vacancy rate on Monday was 28 per cent, with 283 job postings for clinical positions, including both full-time and part-time nurses, practical nurses and care aids. Both Dix and Brown acknowledged staffing challenges. Brown cited staff redeployment and said the hospital improvements will help retain current staff and attract new staff to Kamloops. Dix also announced on Monday an additional $2.9 million to support additional staff in the intensive-care unit, emergency department and hospitalist program at RIH. Dix said the province is working with healthcare workers on those incentives.

Brown noted some initiatives: 10 new care-aid positions to help nurses, a travel nurse program bringing staff to the area, partnering to provide more than 100 extended-hour childcare spaces, an additional 100 staff parking passes for Peterson Creek and shuttle service improvements. Brown said a potential parking solution will be going to city council on Tuesday, when an Interior Health delegation was expected to appear after KTW’s press deadline. Dix further announced on Monday a $6.7-million capital investment to open three new operating rooms in 2023. RIH previously had nine. A tenth opened in the patient care tower. The additional three will bring hospital ORs to 13. It is expected to provide an additional 5,400 operating room hours, or 3,240 procedures, per year. Dix was also asked about service reductions in other communities, such as Clearwater. He said Clearwater has seen the most closures in B.C. and the province is focused on recruiting staff to the community, including improving access to housing.

TNRD to keep FOI fee JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson Nicola Regional District will continue charging a $10 application fee for Freedom of Information requests, despite questions from some board members about transparency. At Thursday’s meeting, a motion by TNRD Area P (Rivers and the Peaks) director Mel Rothenburger to scrap the fee failed in a vote of five to 19. Kamloops councillors Dale Bass and Denis Walsh, as well as Ashcroft Mayor Barbara Roden, Rothenburger and TNRD Area E (Bonaparte Plateau) director Sally Watson voted in favour. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dieter Dudy, Bill Sarai (filling in for Mike O’Reilly) and Arjun Singh were among those who opposed. Rothenburger said scrapping the fee was in the regional district’s best interest in its commitment to transparency. He called it a matter of “principle.” “The information about our decisions does belong to the taxpayer, it doesn’t belong to us,” Rothenburger said. TNRD general manager of corporate and legislative services Deanna Campbell told the board the intent was not to create barriers for access to records but encourage FOI applicants

to be more “focused” and “thoughtful” with requests and offset processing costs. “An FOI request, depending on the complexity and the nature of them, take up a significant amount of staff time,” Campbell said. Campbell said the board received 22 FOI requests in 2021. Adding in requests from other levels of government, it received 33 requests. Campbell said it took 250 hours of staff time, which equates to about five hours per week. Merritt Mayor Linda Brown spoke in favour of the fee, which she said is not a significant amount. Area I (Blue Sky Country) director Steven Rice said a group became vocal in recent years over a new water system in Spences Bridge. He said six boxes of documents were compiled by staff for different members of the group and no charges were in place at the time for FOIs. He said the community began to charge for copying and staff time and requests stopped coming in. Logan Lake Mayor Robin Smith said she has been the subject of FOI requests. “I have a lot of experience with frivolous FOIs and I can tell you they’re incredibly expensive and incredibly taxing on our staff,” she said. Bass, who previously filed FOIs in her career as a newspaper journalist, said

the regional district should make it as easy as possible for taxpayers because people have a right to information. “This isn’t about frivolous,” Bass said. “This isn’t about number of them. This is about, it isn’t even about deterrent. It’s about the people. And we’ve been forgetting about them for a long time and we have to remember them.” Rothenburger pointed out that FOI requests requiring a significant amount of work can already be charged extra. Singh said he was not clear about the waiving of fees because no report was provided to the board. Some directors requested the decision be postponed to the next meeting, on Aug. 14, in Ashcroft. A motion to postpone failed, in a split vote of 11 to 13. KTW asked Campbell in what circumstances the fees would be waived. She said if someone cannot afford to pay the fee, but not when a request is deemed in the public interest. The fee was imposed by regional district staff, following legislative changes by the province that allowed public institutions the option to charge the fee. The City of Kamloops has not implemented the fee, stating it would cost more in staff time to administer the fee than it would bring back to the city in revenues.

CHECK OUT OUR NEW ARRIVALS

TRU looks to build student housing Thompson Rivers University is planning to construct new housing for students on land across from campus. A development permit application headed to city council on Tuesday, after KTW’s press deadline, reveals a four-storey 80-unit dormitory style building planned at 704 McGill Rd. The area is located across Summit Drive. The building is proposed to

include 68 rooms with two beds and 12 one-bedroom dorms, for a total of 148 beds. Thirty-eight vehicular parking spaces and 40 bicycle parking spaces will also be included, as well as an outdoor amenity area with picnic tables and benches. Plans for the property include potentially up to three new buildings, for a total of 280 units. The permit currently

being considered is for the first building. According to a report to council, the university will also construct a 3.6-metre wide multi-use pathway to connect Summit Drive and Dalgleish Drive. Councillors have been vocal in the past about their desire to improve active transportation and connectivity in the area. The city is also seeking grant

funding to help build an overpass in that area. Thompson Rivers University has faced challenges of late finding student housing, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, limited on-campus student housing and a lack of available rental units in the city. Last year, the university installed modular housing in its parking lot for students as a temporary solution.

City to sell former Thrupp Manor property The city is selling five lots on Royal Avenue in North Kamloops. The lots are located at 577, 581, 585, 589 and 593 Royal Ave. adjacent the Rivers Trail between McDonald Park and McArthur Island. The lots were previously home to Thrupp Manor. The city purchased the property for $900,000 in 2011. Council voted in 2018 to subdivide the land and sell the lots.

At the time, the city said the cost to service the lots would be $75,000 each and each lot would be sold for $240,000. Four years later, the lots have since been serviced and, in a press release, the city stated it expects minimum offers of $360,000 per lot. “As the City has invested significantly in the purchase and development of the lots, it intends to accept those offers that are most

advantageous to the City’s interests,” the press release states. KTW has reached out to the city for more information on how much servicing of the lots cost and how much the city stands to make off the property sales. The city is accepting sealed offers until 1 p.m. on Aug. 19. For more information, go online to kamloops.ca/realestate.

Spray park, organics, EV rules and more . . . City council was scheduled to meet on Tuesday, after Kamloops This Week’s press deadline. Topics on the agenda

included a delegation from Interior Health, canvassing a wide variety of topics. In addition, council was set to hear options for a temporary

spray park, an update on curbside organics collection and more. On Tuesday night, a public hearing was also held on

EV-ready development. Read those stories on kamloopsthisweek.com and in next week’s edition of Kamloops This Week.

IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS: THE END OF THE ROAD

bout six weeks ago, Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned that the attempt to revive the 2015 deal that restricted Iran’s ability to enrich uranium was on the brink of collapse. Three or four weeks more without an agreement, he said, would deal the talks a “fatal blow.” The problem was that since former U.S. president Donald Trump unilaterally trashed the deal in 2018, imposing “maximum pressure” U.S. sanctions against Iran in the hope of extracting further concessions, the Iranians have been gradually discarding the controls they agreed to in the original deal. The three European countries that guaranteed the deal — Britain, France and Germany — backed the IAEA chief up, warning that “the more Iran is advancing and accumulating knowledge with irreversible consequences, the more difficult it is to come back to that deal.” In other words, once the Iranians have learned all they need to know to enrich uranium to weapons-grade, they cannot promise to forget it again. They will have that knowledge forever, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the ridiculous official name of the 2015 deal. In fact, it is worse than that. On July 9, Tehran announced it has installed new centrifuges that will let Iran enrich uranium up to 90 per cent purity — enough for nuclear warheads.

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH They are adjustable centrifuges that can easily be switched between different levels of enrichment, and Iran says they are currently set for only 20 per cent purity. But the JCPOA set the maximum permitted enrichment at 3.67 per cent, so Iran is already way beyond the limit. And what is the rest of the world going to do about this? Not much. In fact, it seems neither Washington nor Tehran really expected to resurrect the 2015 deal: too much time had passed, and they were just going through the motions. When Joe Biden entered the White House in January 2021, his previous statements about JCPOA obliged him to try to repair damage done by Trump. However, he put more effort into placating antiIran hawks in Congress than into talks with the regime of reformist Iranian president Hassan Rouhani (the man who originally signed the deal). Biden would have known Rouhani’s presidency had only six months left, and he was likely to be

followed in office by the hard-liner Ebrahim Raisi. (Rouhani could not run again and the Supreme Leader’s people were disqualifying rival candidates.) Yet Biden barely lifted a finger to restart serious negotiations. Then, after Raisi replaced Hourani at the beginning of August last year, the U.S. and Iran agreed on a five-month time-out, allegedly to give Raisi’s new administration time to get up to speed on the issue. Why did Biden consent to that? Because he knew it was already a lost cause. In 2021, Iran’s enrichment levels rose to levels far above the JCPOA’s

limits. When negotiations finally restarted last December, everybody knew the deal’s original purpose had been overrun by events. Iran has become a ‘nuclear threshold’ power, able to build actual bombs within six months of the word “go” at any time in the future. That is the reality, which is why subsequent talks have been rather lackadaisical. Iran is clearly in no rush to build actual nuclear weapons and nobody gains by abandoning the talks completely, but they are not going anywhere and everybody knows it. This is a disappointment, but not a disaster. Possible Iranian

nuclear weapons at some point in the future are less threatening than real North Korean nukes in the present, and the Far East has learned to live with that. The Middle East is a tougher neighbourhood, and there were few signs of panic during President Biden’s recent tour of the region. He did not even have to promise that American nuclear weapons would be available to deter a potential nuclear-armed Iran. Israel’s several hundred unadmitted nuclear weapons are quite sufficient for that. Gwynne Dyer’s new book is The Shortest History of War.

I couldn’t help but notice that, with five candidates in the race, it’s theoretically possible for one of the candidates to win with just more than 20 per cent of voter support. We could easily end up with a mayor that most voters do not want, due to vote-splitting.

This mayoral contest once again highlights the inadequacies of our current winner-take-all electoral system. Mayoral contests should ensure the majority of voters get a mayor we can support. There is a very simple fix for this: we could simply allow voters to rank multiple candidates in order of preference (using 1, 2, 3 instead of a single X). This system of ranked ballots is considered a best practice for single-position elections like mayors. In fact, most

STAFF REPORTERS

A train derailed last week on the Canadian Pacific Railway line in Mission Flats. The Transportation Safety Board said 18 loaded grain cars derailed on the main track on July 13. CP Rail cars were overturned along the Thompson River east of the Overlanders Bridge. Grain from the train cars spilled. The City of Kamloops said no hazardous materials were on board the train. The Transportation Safety Board further told KTW no dangerous goods were released and no pollution occurred, as a result of the derailment. Allan Michener, who works in environmental services for the city, attended the scene. He said he attended to get a visual and determine potential impact to city property on the south end of the track. Numerous workers in hard hats and safety vests, as well as CP pickup trucks, also attended. KTW observed 13 cars overturned north of the track. A number of train cars were on their sides in a zig-zag pattern. Cause of the derailment is unknown. However, CP Rail and Transport Canada confirmed no injuries occurred. In a statement, CP Rail’s manager of media

DAVE EAGLES/KTW A train derailment in the Mission Flats area involved 18 train cars carrying grain. No one was hurt. For many more photos of the derailment, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

relations and community affairs, Salem Woodrow, said: “CP has dispatched crews and equipment in response to the incident. The incident is under investigation.” The Transportation Safety Board is also looking into the derailment. Various onlookers stopped to examine the scene. J.P. Page stopped his motorcycle on Mission Flats Road, when he saw the derailment. He was worried about impacts of on the Thompson River. A Mission Flats Manor resident called the scene a “mess.” The man, who did not wish to give his name, told KTW he was out on the deck nearby, when he heard the crash. “Just a loud, screeching, banging noise — bunch of cars banging together,” he said.

Jessica Carleton pulled over to snap photos. “It’s pretty crazy,” Carleton said. “I’ve never seen it [a train derailment] in real life before.” This is the second train derailment in Kamloops in recent months. On April 2, a train derailed on the Canadian National Railway line near Kamloops Airport. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said the city has been “lucky” the two train derailments in recent months did not involve dangerous goods. Christian said dangerous goods travel by rail through Kamloops once per day, via tanker cars. “We’ve been lucky with these derailments,” Christian told KTW. “You could have a situation where you were transporting dangerous goods and then the train

derailment would be a much different scenario. So, that is of concern. I will be looking at what is the Transportation Safety Board’s ruling, with respect to this derailment. Was it a maintenance issue or was it a track issue — and see what we can learn from that.” Christian said the April derailment was a result of operator error. Christian said train traffic was also expected to be impacted, as a result of the train tracks remaining blocked during cleanup. He said a CP representative informed him of rail damage. Christian said train traffic could avoid the derailment via the spur line on Lorne Street but the line was not designed for the increased traffic, which was also of concern.

Pope Francis will not be making a stop-over visit in Kamloops, as previously hoped, during his visit to Canada next week. Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir expressed her disappointment in May when the announced trip did not include a visit to her community in the schedule, but told reporters she was holding out hope the pontiff would reconsider. While that will not happen, KTW has learned the band intends to send a delegation to meet the pope while he is in Edmonton. The Vatican press office released the pope’s itinerary for his five-day visit to Canada, which will span from July 24 to July 29, with stops in Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqualiut. The trip will see Pope Francis arrive in Canada at Edmonton International Airport, where there will be a welcome ceremony, with the pontiff taking the remainder of the day to rest, according to a release from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. The pope’s first public

event will be on July 25 in Maskwacis, where he will be joined by residential school survivors from across the country at the former Ermineskin Indian Residential School, which was one of Canada’s largest. Later in the day, Pope Francis will visit Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples, a national Indigenous church in downtown Edmonton. On July 26, the pope will hold mass at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton in observance of the feast of St. Anne — the grandmother of Jesus — and will travel for a prayer service to Lac Ste. Anne. On July 27, Pope Francis will depart for Quebec City, where upon his arrival, he will visit La Citadelle and take part in private meetings, including with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and First Nations representatives. He is scheduled to make a public address that day. On July 28, the pope will hold mass at the Sanctuaire of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Then, he will meet with bishops, priests and other church members in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Following a private meeting with his Society of Jesus and an audience

with Indigenous leaders from Eastern Canada in Quebec City on June 29, the pope will depart for Iqaluit, where he will spend the afternoon in a private meeting with residential school survivors before attending a public event. The pope will leave for Rome from Iqaluit that evening. Tk’emlúps was left off the list of stops despite Casimir hand-delivering to the pope an invitation to visit her community during her meeting with the pontiff in March in Vatican City. Casimir described her community’s exclusion from the list of Canadian destinations as a missed opportunity. In May 2021, the Tk’emlúps band was the first of many First Nations to announce signs of probable unmarked graves on former residential school lands using ground-penetrating radar surveys, which have ultimately led to the pope’s upcoming visit to Canada in an act of reconciliation over the Catholic Church’s role in operating the government institutions. The health of the 85-year-old pontiff and mobility issues have been cited as reasons for the limited stops on his upcoming trip to Canada.

Airport improvements flow from federal funding ON MONDAY, FEDERAL TRANSPORT MINISTER, OMAR ALGHABRA, WAS AT THE AIRPORT TO ANNOUNCE THE FUNDING FOR NEW RUNWAY LIGHTING MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Airport has received $1.8 million to upgrade 40-year-old runway lighting. On Monday, federal transport minister, Omar Alghabra, was at the airport to announce the funding, which will cover half the cost of the $3.6-million project. The project will see airfield taxiway lights, which line the runway, replaced with LED lighting and approach lighting to ensure flights takeoff and land safely. New direction indicators as well as LED airport signage will also be added. “These upgrades will keep Kamloops Airport maintaining safe airport operations,” Alghabra said. The project will begin in two weeks. Most of the work will take place at night to prevent flight disruptions, YKA manager Ed Ratuski told KTW. He said the industry, in large part, has gone to LED technology and the existing system is outdated and costly to fix. “There are supply chain challenges for getting replacement parts for the existing light systems,” Ratuski said. “They’re very expensive.” He said the project will be completed in mid-November and lighting infrastructure is not expected to need replacement for another 30 years, following completion. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, who is the chair of the Kamloops Airport Authority Society, said the new lighting will use less energy and provide better visibility. The

funding comes from the federal Airport Capital Assistance Program to support airport recovery in Kamloops during the COVID-19 pandemic. Alghabra said the aviation industry has been hit hard during the pandemic. Ratuski told KTW West Jet and Air Canada have been increasing trips to Vancouver and Calgary from Kamloops, with both airlines expected to be operating the same number of flights to those cities as they were prior to the pandemic at some point this summer. He said the airport is seeing about 60 per cent of passenger numbers it had prior to the pandemic, back in 2019, and it is estimated to take until 2024 to return to pre-pandemic levels. Last week, passengers faced flight delays and cancellations. Ratuski told KTW it is due to resource issues with airlines, as well as traffic interruptions into Vancouver. He said they are occurring more than usual right now. “There’s still enough capacity in the system, flying into Kamloops, to move people to their next flights, but generally people can expect or plan for delays in the travel system, especially if they’re flying beyond Vancouver or Calgary,” he said. “Don’t leave things to the last minute. If you say, ‘Oh, I have to be in Vancouver by 9 a.m. or 3 p.m., then you might want to take an earlier flight just in case to ensure you’re at your destination at your required time.” Last year, Kamloops Airport also received $1.3-million from the federal program to rehabilitate its taxiways.

Complaints came via social media From A1

The rules came under fire across multiple social media channels, with outrage and disappointment expressed. Comments were posted to the society’s Facebook page, including accusations of the rules being transphobic, colonial and discriminatory. Others called for rule changes and a boycott of the powwow. Garry Gottfriedson, a Secwépemc cultural advisor at Thompson Rivers University, told KTW he was angered and saddened when he saw the rules. He said indigenous culture is complicated and rules around blood quantum are colonial constructs that dictated who could be defined as indian. “Our societies never operated that way,” Gottfriedson said. “If you were willing to live in our community and you were willing to accept our culture — no matter how much Indian blood you have in you — then you were accepted as a member of our tribe.” Kamloops Pride president Ashton O’Brien said she heard from two-spirit and gender-diverse individuals, who did not feel welcomed by the event rules and thought they were now being excluded from a cultural celebration, due to the gender requirements.

“For a lot of people, that didn’t make sense,” she said. “Like, what is the correct gender and, if that meant aligning with whatever gender the category was, it felt exclusive.” On July 13, the Kamloopa Powwow Society posted an apology online and said wording of the rules did not reflect how the event was run in the past. It said the organization would update its dance rules to “reflect equality.” Over the weekend, the society posted rule revisions. The society stated it had removed outdated and discriminatory language regarding gender and updated rules to welcome all selfidentified indigenous people. In the updated rules, the one-quarter blood requirement has been changed to “dancers must self-identify as indigenous” and language in the document now includes both sexes. As for the princess pageant, the only remaining stipulation is contestants must be between the ages of 13 and 17. The society said beginning this year it is also adding an annual switch dance special and two-spirit round dance to the powwow. It also plans to appoint youth and a two-spirit member to its committee. “We are inclusive in honouring our 2SLGBTQIA+ and

will continue to recognize our relatives,” the online apology read. Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Chief Rosanne Casimir said in a statement that the band is thankful the society is taking corrective steps. “Those rules do not reflect TteS values,” Casimir said. “TteS chief and council endorses the implementation of a National Action Plan that addresses violence against indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and 2SLGBTQQIA++. They are our people and are our k’wséltkten, our family and we all hold them dear.” Kamloopa Powwow Society president Delyla Daniels indicated the powwow’s tabulators and others have dropped out of this year’s powwow. “I do not know how we are going to recover from this,” Daniels said. “We’ve impacted so many people who were set to have specials and celebration of their family and loved one that are no longer having specials.” C&T Tabulating, a business that does powwow tabulations, posted online last week that it had withdrawn from the powwow, due to the viral social media outrage. It is not clear if the company now intends to rejoin the powwow, given the updated rules.

KFR douses Aberdeen house fire MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Fire Rescue doused a house fire in Aberdeen last week. The fire, which occurred on July 12, originated at 2209 Sifton Ln. KFR confirmed to KTW at the scene no one was home at the time of the fire. The home was gutted, charred and blackened. The fire spread to the neighbouring property, at 2213 Sifton

Lane. Damage to the second property was minimal. Neighbour Bill Demuth walked outside his front door at about 4 p.m. to see flames and feel intense heat from the house fire burning two doors down. “I work at home and some kid banged on the door and I came out and thought it was a delivery guy and nope, he says ‘fire, get out,’” Demuth said. “It was raging.” Assistant fire chief Scott Karpiak told KTW

no one was inside either house that caught fire. He said firefighters began extinguishing the flames on the neighbouring house, at 2213 Sifton Lane, first and then moved over to extinguish the flames on the 2209 residence. KFR deployed a mass response to the fire, which was labelled a second alarm fire, which brought in every fire truck in town and everyone on staff, who got the fire under control in a record amount of time,

Karpiak said. Media reports indicate the cause of the fire was electrical issues and that a pet or pets may have been lost in the blaze. KTW has made numerous calls to KFR for an update. The fire, however, led to caution by KFR on social media to homeowners about planting cedar hedging near to a home. KFR advised removal of cedar trees in order to firesmart homes.

As of Tuesday, it was estimated to be more than 2,000 hectares in size. Lytton First Nation deputy chief John Haugan said during a wildfire update on Friday that at least six structures — and as many as nine — have been lost. Lytton is located about

two hours southwest of Kamloops. The cause of the fire is unknown. Fire origin and cause specialists have been deployed. The fire is highly visible from Highway 1 and surrounding communities. The Village of Lytton burned down last sum-

Illicit drugs claim 195 lives in May

Discover Summer Contest

There were 195 lives lost due to toxic illicit drugs in May, according to the latest update from the BC Coroners Service released on July 14. The preliminary report shows B.C. is on track for its worst ever year since the opioid epidemic was declared in 2016. “The illicit drug supply in this province continues to be volatile and inconsistent, and presents a significant risk to anyone who uses drugs. I strongly urge those purchasing illicit substances to take every available precaution to protect yourself,” said the province’s chief coroner Lisa Lapointe. Lapointe also advised drug users to start with a small amount of a drug and ensure someone else is present to provide naloxone and call emergency services, if necessary.

action plans and a framework for establishing a substance-use system of care. The coroners office said no response has been received on its recommendations. “Six people a day are dying due to the toxic drug crisis in this province and it’s nothing short of tragic. But it’s the reason we must persevere and continue the vital work of reducing the risk of toxic drug poisonings and saving lives,” said Premier John Horgan in a statement. The premier said the province is “urgently working” to build and fund a mental health and addictions system that includes treatment and recovery options across the province. “We know there is much more to do, and we won’t stop working until we finally put an end to this terrible crisis,” he said.

Between January and May, 940 British Columbians have died due to drug toxicity. That figure includes 39 deaths in Kamloops. A testing protocol implemented in July 2020 shows 91 per cent of drug samples submitted contained fentanyl and/or its analogues, while 73 per cent had at least one stimulant, 19 per cent had contained at least one another opioid, and 44 per cent contained at least one benzodiazepine. Toxic drugs are the leading cause of unnatural death in B.C. A death review panel recently convened by the coroners service made several recommendations to the provincial government in March. The recommendations included a provincial framework for safe-supply distribution, time-based

Health Canada has approved the use of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for children ages five and younger. The vaccine, which can be administered to children as young as six months, is the first vaccine for children under age five. Approximately 1.7-million children across Canada are now eligible. COVID-19 vaccines were made available to various age groups from the top

down, with eligibility beginning in December 2020 for those 18 and older. Children ages 12 to 17 became eligible in August 2021 and children six to 11 could get the shot after March 2022. The approval follows an independent scientific review and recommends two 25 microgram doses, which is half the amount prescribed for children ages six to 11 and one-quarter of the adult dose. No safety signals were

identified from the vaccine trial, according to Health Canada. Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada will be monitoring the safety of the vaccine and will take action if any concerns are identified. On its website, the Government of British Columbia said while the vaccines are not yet ready, pre-registration can be done online at getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca.

Bank of Canada bumps key interest rate to cool inflation The Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate by a full percentage point overnight. On July 13, the Bank of Canada announced it had raised its rate to 2.5 per cent. It is the fourth interest rate increase in four years, since rates were slashed to near zero at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank of Canada said

in a press release that inflation in Canada is “higher and more persistent” than the BOC expected in April. It said inflation is expected to remain at about eight per cent in the next few months. “While global factors such as the war in Ukraine and ongoing supply disruptions have been the biggest

WEAPONS SEIZED FROM MAN ON E-BIKE Mounties in North Kamloops seized a gun, drugs and other weapons from a man riding an e-bike without a helmet last week. On July 7 at 1:30 p.m., a Kamloops RCMP officer patrolling the 300-block of Tranquille Road stopped the man who was riding the e-bike on the sidewalk. The officer observed

the man had a machete attached to a backpack, and a subsequent search of the rider resulted in the seizure of ammunition, suspected cocaine, break-in instruments and identification documents that did not belong to the man. The officer also seized what appeared to be a homemade gun.

The man was released with a court date, pending the investigation’s conclusion and any subsequent charge recommendation from police. Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250828-3000 and reference file 2022-23233.

Boat launches reopen, rivers drop Boat launches repoened in Kamloops on July 15, as river levels recede. Late last week, the city announced it is “demobilizing” its flood mitigation efforts, following months of concern and preparation over flooding. Earlier last week, the BC River Forecast

Centre ended a highstream advisory for the North Thompson River. It remains in effect, however, for the South Thompson and Thompson rivers. The boat launches reopened because lower water levels have led to room for Kamloops Fire Rescue to pass beneath bridges

on the river, in the event of an emergency on the water. City crews are also removing flood-protection bags covering catch basins throughout the city, as well as sand and sandbags. Residents are responsible for disposing of their own sandbags. It can be done at

the Mission Flats and Barnhartvale landfills free of charge. Officials are warning residents that, while the boat launches have reopened, the rivers remain “unseasonably high and fast flowing” with debris present. Boaters are being asked to minimize wakes to prevent ero-

sion of riverbanks. Those seeking to take a dip in the river to cool off during warm weather are asked to remain cautions around the river banks and be aware of potentially unstable earth. Boat launches were busy over the weekend and sun remains in the forecast this week.

Europeans added to help in crease, on blue line MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Blazers’ head coach and general manager Shaun Clouston said his club addressed two needs on Canada Day during a CHL Import Draft that lacked depth. “This year’s draft pool was real slim,” Clouston said. “With the Russians and the Belarusians not being available, not only did that decrease the supply pool, but it really had a trickle-down effect. There were a lot more younger players staying over in Europe with contracts they normally maybe wouldn’t have had. We were able to get two players that are committed to coming over that we believe give us lots of depth. That’s what we were trying to accomplish.” The Blazers selected defenceman Aapo Sarell of Lappeenranta, Finland, with their first pick (55th overall) and goaltender Michael Schnattinger of Brno, Czechia (formerly known as the Czech Republic) with their second pick (115th overall). Kamloops has questions to answer in the crease heading into the 2022-2023 CHL campaign, which will conclude with the Blazers hosting the Memorial Cup on home ice. The Blazers have been grooming Dylan Ernst (entering his 18-year-old season) to succeed Dylan Garand, who is expected to toil next season during his 20-yearold campaign within the New York Rangers’ organization.

Ernst was pegged 30th among North American goaltenders in NHL Central Scouting rankings ahead of the 2022 NHL Draft. He was not among the 20 goalies selected this year. “He’s not in the same part of his development going into his 18-year-old year that Garand was,” Clouston said of Ernst. “There are some questions. They’re not negative. There is nothing negative about his development. For a lot of goaltenders, I would even say the majority in juniors, it takes until they’re 19 or 20 to really hit their prime. Goaltending is the most important position.” Ernst, a Weyburn, Sask., product, posted a 14-8-2 record, .900 save percentage and 2.95 goalsagainst average in 2021-2022. “Erny took some really big steps this year,” Clouston said. “He proved he does have that potential and that capability.” Schnattinger, the sixth-ranked goaltender on the NHL Central Scouting European goaltenders’ list, is also heading into his 18-yearold season. He stands six feet tall, weighs 181 pounds and toiled for Czechia in the 2022 IIHF U-18 World Championships. “I trust Dan [Blazers’ goaltending coach Dan De Palma] a lot,” Clouston said. “He’s not only an excellent goaltending coach, he’s a real good evaluator. We really liked this guy. He’s excited about coming over and we’re excited about getting him over.”

Aapo Sarell of Lappeenranta, Finland, will toil next season for the Kamloops Blazers.

Kamloops had Schnattinger ranked second on its list of goaltenders available in the import draft, according to Clouston. “We didn’t get the guy we wanted at No. 1, but he [Schnattinger] was, from our ratings, the best guy available in the draft at that point,” Clouston said, noting their firstchoice netminder was snapped up by an Ontario Hockey League club. “We believe both goaltenders [Ernst and Schnattinger] have the potential to be a No. 1 guy.” Schnattinger played 34 games for HC Kometa Brno U20 last season and had a 3.16 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. Sarell will join the Blazers in

time for his 19-year-old campaign and helps to fill the void left by graduated blueliners Quinn Schmiemann, who recently signed with the Abbotsford Canucks, and Viktor Persson, a Vancouver Canucks’ draft pick. “He’s big and he’s a 200-foot guy, probably a defender first,” Clouston said of Sarell, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound rearguard. “He was trending up as the season went on. His minutes were increasing in the junior level and he was getting games in the Liiga, the top league in Finland. We really liked his game at that level, against men, so I think that gave us a lot of confidence

he can come in here and help us right away.” In April, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the CHL banned from the import draft Russian and Belarusian players who were not already on a CHL protected list. The depth of the import draft was likely also affected by the timing of the NHL Draft, which took place after the CHL Import Draft this year. Teams that select players in the NHL Draft — which is traditionally held in June — may influence them to make the move to North America by way of the import draft.

Broncos get new board ahead of season 2022 SEASON BEGINS AT 6 P.M. ON JULY 30 AT HILLSIDE STADIUM MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Broncos have a new board of directors, which is led by president Kyle Armstrong. “Our goal here is to turn the Broncos into one of the best junior football programs in Canada, giving young players a place to develop skills both in football and in life,” Armstrong said in a press release. The board has much work to do, with Kamloops having posted one victory in the past three B.C. Football Conference seasons, including a 1-7 mark in 2021, a campaign that was marred by off-field issues, but ended with the club snapping a 27-game losing skid. “To be honest, I think the future of the team was on the line tonight,” Broncos’ quarterback Ayden Cummins told

KTW after the 18-7 triumph over the Westshore Rebels of Langford last October. “The future of recruiting, the future of excitement around a program, it all came together today to keep this team together, to keep faith in our coaching staff and our players.” The board of directors, elected at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, includes vicepresident Adam Sancewicz, secretary Fraser Neave, treasurer Michael McMaster, registrar David Gore, director of football operations Travis Kent, director of player operations Evan Mutrie, game day co-ordinator James Bicknell, social media co-ordinator Braden Capostinsky, head coach Braden Vankoughnett and directors Ben Hoffman and Aaron Smit. “Vanky is our guy,” Armstrong said. “Last season

was a tough one with various challenges, but he continued to put the team first and they pulled out a huge win in the final game of the season. “It was an easy decision to bring him back as head coach.”

Kamloops will open the 2022 campaign on Saturday, July 30, with the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo slated to come to town. Game time is 6 p.m. at Hillside Stadium.

McLeod staying positive during expansion season MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rivers FC fullback Molly McLeod did her best not to react earlier this month at Hillside Stadium. Her brother, Blair, led the chant. “He got all my friends in on it,” McLeod said. “Everyone was saying it — ‘Molly! Molly! Molly!’ “Oh, my goodness. I just had a little smile and kept playing. It’s super fun.” Rivers fell 4-1 to the Victoria Highlanders and dropped into the League1 BC soccer basement, but moments like that — and valuable playing time against top-tier opponents — are contributing to club morale. “This league is awesome,” said McLeod, the Kamloops product who attends Saint Mary’s University in Halifax and toils for the Huskies’ soccer team. “The competition is just unreal. We’re playing girls that are Div. 1 in the states. Going back to school in

September, I’m going to be completely prepared because I’m playing against such quality girls right now.” McLeod began her soccer career in the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association ranks and moved on to Thompson-Okanagan Football Club. She is familiar with Rivers FC president Nick Rinaldi, RFC men’s head coach John Antulov and Mark Pennington, who was pegged to coach the women’s side, but stepped aside prior to the campaign, when Jost Hausendorf took the reins. “It started off a bit hectic and crazy, but Jost took over and he did a great job as our coach,” said McLeod, who plans to play U Sports soccer for two more seasons. The RFC women — whose team manager, Michelle McLeod, is Molly’s mother — are 1-8-1 on the campaign. “It’s definitely hard, but we’re staying positive,” she said. “We’re doing well for what we’ve got. We always boost each other up.” Rivers will wrap its inaugural

The McLeod cheering section will have to wait until next year to return to full voice at Hillside Stadium. “I just said, ‘I can’t believe you did that,’” Molly recalled of a conversation with Blair about the chant. “I love it. It’s awesome. There are so many people and you can hear them cheering. I think it makes us play better.”

Makauwahi Cave: A treasure trove of fossils KAROLINE CULLEN

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

rom ground level, the opening in the rock face is about one metre high. It is dark inside, so it is hard to tell how long the passage is, but I know it leads to a cavern. I crouch down as low as I can, trying to not hit my head, I duckwalk my way through. On Kauai’s south shore lies the Makauwahi Cave Reserve. It has the largest limestone cave in the Pacific, is the most fossil-rich site in Hawaii and one of the richest in the world. To reach the entrance, we saunter atop coastline cliffs, where the trail’s red dirt contrasts with green shrubs and blue ocean. We pause often to watch crashing waves, check for breeching humpback whales and admire the distant, almost empty, white sand beach backed by a lushly vegetated hillside. After safely negotiating the entrance passage and exiting the low-ceilinged cavern it led us to, we cross a large open area. At the entrance to a larger cave, we join Jerry, a volunteer guide from the Reserve Society. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the heart of an ancient sand dune here turned to stone and formed a huge cave. About 7,000 years ago, the cave’s central ceiling collapsed and the rubble blocked off the tidal ocean water. Fresh water and groundwater collected, forming an inland sinkhole lake.

An artist’s rendering of what it might have looked like features extinct birds flying over the lake and lush native vegetation. Jerry explains, “Whatever falls into the water of that lake gets preserved in the sediment in the bottom of the lake. Over the thousands of years since the roof collapsed, the sediment is now built up and the lake is now dry.” We stand on 10 metres of sediment, recording 10,000 years of time. The layers bear evidence of myriad plants and animals, floods, droughts and dramatic events, such as a tsunami and hurricanes. Archeological bores have

revealed finds such as the huge talon of an extinct bird-hunting owl, bones of extinct flightless ducks, and evidence of the first settlers: fish hooks, octopus lures, and shell jewelry — all preserved in this natural time capsule. The selection of plants for the sink hole floor restoration was guided by the fossils found. A stand of native palms is a focus point and some are almost as tall as the outer walls. Outside the sinkhole, more reforestation with native plants has become an ongoing project. Integral to the process are African land tortoises. These

lumbering, pre-historic looking beasts munch on low lying invasive species but do not have teeth to chew on the bark of newly planted native trees. We follow our guide deeper into the sand floor cave. Openings to the surface let in wind-blown sand, which is very fine and it filters down through the rock to the cave floor. In the light from his flashlight, we see popcorn-like flowstone, formed from condensation, dimpling the ceiling. Water flowing through cracks in the walls has formed delicate lines of stone drapery. It is impossible to count the multitude of diagonal

layers of sand that make up these limestone walls. There are smaller caves behind this larger one. They are culturally significant for Hawaiians and are “kapu” or forbidden to others. One is a wet cave and in its total darkness live rare creatures, which are adapted to their environment. The white Kauai cave spider has no pigment or eyes and hunts other blind cave dwelling invertebrates. They only live here and in a few other locations nearby. I am glad we are not exploring that cave. Retracing our steps, we exit the cave and blink in the brightness of the day. Strolling around the sinkhole, we study the formations in the rock walls and admire the lush greenery of the reintroduced native and Polynesian plants. In typical Kauai fashion, a downpour suddenly starts. We take shelter in the cave near the entrance and contemplate the likelihood that thousands of years ago, early visitors to this site must have also sheltered from the rain like this. Once the storm abates, we crouch down low and make our way out through the entrance hole. The rim trails, which wind through more native plantings, lead us to views into the sinkhole from above. Looking at it from here, it is amazing to think of the thousands of years of history preserved just below the sinkhole floor. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper column.

His siblings Euclid Curly (Joyce) and Roger. He was predeceased by his son Dan, parents Omer and Mary, sisters Delia, Terry and Annette, brothers Albert, Harvey and Edmond. Art was a devoted father and grandfather. Art loved to travel back home to Winnipeg to visit his siblings and many nieces and nephews every summer, this was always a highlight for him. He loved to play poker, crib and winning was the only option when it came to anything he did. Art loved sports and you could often find him at the park watching a game or two of baseball or sitting in his chair watching the Winnipeg Blue Bombers or a hockey game, Montreal was his favourite team. He was proud of all his kids and grandkids and we will miss him everyday. A private family service will be held at a later date.

Celebration of Life will be held at The Rebekah Lodge Hall - 423 Tranquille Rd, Kamloops, BC. On Saturday, July 23, 2022 from 1:00 - 3:00pm.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. Double Disposition? A. Laws in BC say that a deceased body must be “disposed of” (what a horrendous word!) and it can happen in one of two ways: burial or cremation. If it’s buried, the law considers “disposal” complete. If it’s disposed of by cremation, it has to be disposed of again once it becomes ashes. That second disposal can be complicated!

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

Verne was raised in Falkland. He was a self-taught Jack-of-all-trades who was always willing to help out others with their various projects and act as project manager whether they wanted it or not. If you knew Verne, you also knew about his cheeky sense of humour and “Vernisms”. He enjoyed outdoor adventures and visiting with friends. In his downtime he would constantly be renovating his home and improving St. Peter’s Church in Monte Creek. Verne’s favourite hobby was buying and selling recreational vehicles, much to the chagrin of his always patient wife. In lieu of flowers or donations, please contact his wife Phil to pickup some of Verne’s thousands of tools that still clutter the family home.

Dennis Aho Dennis John Aho, age 79, of Kamloops, British Columbia passed away on Monday, June 6, 2022. Dennis was born on August 1, 1942 to Arthur and Hilda Aho in Revelstoke, BC. He grew up in the Sicamous area and graduated from Eagle River Secondary School where he was on several sports teams and committees. He began a lengthy career with Canadian Pacific Railway as a Brakeman and Conductor working in various yards and subs including Field, Golden, Revelstoke, Kamloops, North Bend, Port Coquitlam and Vancouver. In his off-time in his younger years he spent time snowmobiling, camping, fishing, bottle digging and getting to know the railway inside and out. It was said he was great to work with, but a road trip with Dennis was like a railway rules-refresher course. Dennis wed Thelma (nee Freer) in 1972 in Revelstoke, and the family moved to Kamloops in 1974 which was primarily the base for the remainder of his railway career. Always on the look out for a good deal, when he wasn’t working Dennis enjoyed checking out garage sales, flea markets, and various book and thrift stores. Dennis is predeceased by his parents Arthur and Hilda; his wife Thelma; and some of his siblings, Karl, Allan, Elmer, and Bertha. He is survived by his son Jason; daughter Shannon; sisters Laina and Irene; many nieces and nephews; and grandchildren Tyler and Ashlyn. A celebration of life for Dennis will be held Saturday, July 23, 2022 at 10:00 AM at Schoening Chapel in Kamloops, BC. Please feel welcome to share a story or memory of Dennis at the service or online. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com for the Aho family. In lieu of flowers, consider making a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Kamloops Hospice Association, in Dennis (or Thelma’s) memory.

The family would like to extend sincere gratitude to Dr. Dickinson for his continued amazing care since Helen moved to Kamloops in 2018. Thank you to Sherri for her kindness and competence. We would also like to thank all the specialists, the Heart Function Clinic, Imaging, and lab staff who cared for Helen over the years, and the nurses in the ER.

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.

After a lengthy battle with cancer, Donna Marie Schwieger (nee Watson) passed away in the early morning of May 10, 2022, with her husband Terry at her side.

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.

Ted Fisher On July 7, 2022 Ted said goodbye to his family and friends in his 70th year, following a long battle with liver disease. He was born in Kamloops on March 3, 1952 and adopted by Ted and Rose Fisher where he became a part of a very large extended Fisher family. He was predeceased by Ted, Rose and his adopted sister Robyn. Ted is survived by his wife Brenda; daughter Tammie, husband Steve Bowden and their daughters Kylie, and Kenzie; his son Adam Fisher, wife Lorraine, their children, Delena Carl, husband Patrick, daughter Isobelle, and their son Eric Weibe, wife Jessica and son Aiden. He also leaves behind many in-laws, cousins, nephews, nieces, and close friends who enriched his life by their friendship. Ted married Brenda Teed on August 28, 1972. They were blessed with a daughter Tammie and then a son Adam. Life was good and Ted loved taking his family on camping trips with many hours in his fishing boat and around a campfire. He believed his children were his greatest achievement and he was so very proud of the adults they became. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren provided lots of love, many smiles, and special memories. In 2003 he was granted a precious gift when he met his birth mother, Frances Fall, and her husband Elmer, of Prince Edward Island. Many trips to P.E.I. followed, where he had the privilege to get to know his birth family. He was lovingly accepted by his brothers Gary, wife Lorena, children Angie and Kendall; Robert, wife Paulette, daughter Rhonda; Sheldon, wife Mary, sons Nick and Colin; and sister Sharon, husband Francis, daughters Sharlene, Coralee, and Melissa. Sadly, he lost his mother Frances, stepfather Elmer and brother Gary. Ted loved that he was a lifelong citizen of Kamloops. As a teenager and young man, he worked with his father, Ted Sr. who owned Fisher Hay Sales. When Ted Sr. decided to retire, Ted began working at Kamloops Bottling Works with the Day family. He stayed with the Pepsi crew for many years before going out on his own doing equipment maintenance work for Pepsi, Starbucks, and Culligan Water. He developed strong friendships with co-workers and business owners throughout his territories. He also spent a short time working at Canadian Tire on the North Shore where he could share his handyman knowledge. As a member of the NorKam graduating class of 1970 Ted joined with fellow classmates to put together Class Reunions in 1990 and 2000. He was hoping to have the 50th Reunion in 2020 but Covid-19 made that impossible. He treasured the friendships that started at school and lasted many years. As a young man Ted joined the Kamloops Jaycees and spent many hours with good friends working on self-improvement and community development projects. He spent many years going to the September Jaycee Friendship Stag where he could meet with other Jaycees, fish, play horseshoes and have a weekend of male bonding. Ted and Brenda became Kamloops Blazers fans beginning at the Memorial Arena. They enjoyed the friendship of other fans and will always remember the Memorial Cup winning years. Ted loved people and enjoyed his time working, fishing, square dancing, attending hockey games, doing Tai Chi, serving on his Strata Council, or helping a neighbour with a project and will be missed by all those who knew him. We would like to thank Dr. Susan Vlahos for her support as Ted went through his journey. During his many trips to Royal Inland Hospital, he was gently handled by the staff in Imaging and Ambulatory Care, especially by Marlous and Jordan. When his disease became unbearable, we were grateful that he could partake in the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, which allowed him to die at home. As per his wishes, there will be no service or celebration of life. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Richard (Rick) David Browning May 12, 1946 - July 6, 2022

Rick was born in Toronto, lived a beautiful life, and passed gently away in Kamloops, BC at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. He is survived by his loving wife and caregiver Susan (Stokes) and their children Catherine & David Browning; his daughters Ashley & Brianna Browning and their mother Wynn Browning; as well as his loving sister Ruth Howse (Robert). Rick was predeceased by his parents Col. Lydia & Col. Albert Browning. He also leaves behind a large extended family and many friends. Rick was self-deprecating, and he didn’t like to fuss. But he lived a life worthy of recognition. As co-founder of the Institute for Human Resource Development (St. John’s, NL 19871999), he offered a different approach to healing communities and brought new perspectives to human issues. He worked in the NWT before settling in BC, where he retired from Thompson Rivers University as the Director of Human Resources (Kamloops 2005-2015). There, he was known to be a fair and thoughtful leader by the Administration and the Unions, and his ability to mediate tense situations and lead them to desirable outcomes was respected by all. He mentored both colleagues and students. Some of his favourite times were Convocation, and the Back-to-School BBQ where he would proudly wear his TRU polo shirt and flip burgers. He loved his work, and through it he made many friends and confidants. Rick’s kind, gentle and loyal soul was front-and-centre to those that met him. He was soft-spoken, but also funny and charming - right to the end. He was a devoted husband and proud father and doted on his cat Jenny who was by his side for many of his last days. He loved camping, his motorcycle, watching sports with his family, and hanging out at the ball field. He could often be seen enjoying a Timmies Hot Chocolate and Fruit Explosion muffin. In earlier days, Rick loved a good book, good beer, and good chicken wings. Rick fought a lengthy illness - an imperfect storm of Alzheimer’s and then cancer. While life did become more challenging as time went on, Rick continued to engage with his usual humour, and built many wonderful memories with his family. Rick’s remains will be repatriated to his beloved Newfoundland in August for a private celebration of life. Contributions in his memory can be made to the Alzheimer's Society Canada research program or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House. We’d like to recognize that Alzheimer’s is a complex, devastating, and underfunded disease; and would also like to thank the staff at Hospice Home for the amazing support they provided to the whole family during Rick's long stay in their care.

Charles (Carl) Davison Rigby of Kamloops, BC With deep sadness we announce that Charles (Carl) Davison Rigby passed away peacefully in the early hours of June 27, 2022, in Kamloops, just shy of his 93rd birthday. His was a life well lived. Carl leaves his loving wife of 64 years, Nancy, son Mike (Cathy), daughter Laura (Rob), daughter-in-law Shannon, and his younger brother Ralph. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and numerous loving family and friends. He was predeceased by his son Keith and brother Dick (Nancy). Carl was born in Vancouver on July 21, 1929, though spent his formative years in England. He returned to Canada at the age of 17, initially working in banking. This career path took him to several cities across Canada, eventually landing a position in New Westminster. Shortly thereafter, Carl met Nancy Stoddart, who he wed in Scotland in 1957. Carl changed jobs by this point to work with the federal government in what was then the UIC. In 1969, Carl accepted a transfer and the family of 5 relocated to Kamloops. A highlight of his career with the government was in helping refugees new to Canada settle in the Kamloops area. This quickly meant much more than a job to him, and he became family to many of these new Canadians, who have kindly kept in touch throughout the years. There were many annual family camping trips and Dad did enjoy getting out fishing, though he rarely came home with any. He loved puttering in the yard and with his pool. Many hours were spent up the numerous apple trees in the yard and dealing with the apples. Carl and Nancy were very active members of St. Georges Anglican church for close to 50 years and spent many hours volunteering with various organizations in the community. After retiring Dad's sporting skills were put to use on the golf greens. He honed his swing at Mac Park before becoming a member at Mount Paul golf course, where he spent many mornings enjoying a game and lunch with friends, he was rarely without a foursome. To cure his "itchy feet" he and mom travelled often. These travels included journeys through Canada, the US and Mexico in their camperized van, and further afield to countries throughout the world. If they weren't already travelling with family or friends, Dad was sure to make new friends along the way, many of which he kept in touch with. Friends were always important to Dad, which led to many lasting friendships, some of 70 years. A warm thank you to the staff of Pinegrove Care Centre, who went above and beyond caring for him in his last years. We would also like to thank friends and family for all of the love, care, and support they have given Dad and Mom.

Three new ambassadors will represent Kamloops DAVE EAGLES

STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three new Kamloops Ambassadors will represent the city, following a gala at Sagebrush Theatre last weekend. For the first time, the program was open to youth of all genders. Previously, the program awarded titles to three elected participants, including Miss Kamloops and two princess positions. Those titles no longer exist. After the election this past weekend, they hold equal titles of “ambassador.” Of seven candidates, Sarah Brouwer, Alexis Cloet and Tiffany Friesen were named Kamloops Ambassadors. Kamloops This Week spoke with Cloet and Friesen before they attended their first-out-of town event in Kelowna. Fellow ambassador, Brouwer, was unavailable. Friesen, a South Kamloops secondary Grade 11 student, said she joined the ambassador program to gain new skills in public speaking. “Just going out into the community, you have to learn how to public speak, so it was something I had to work on,” Friesen said. “If you would have met me six months prior to now, you would really see the growth.” One of the things Friesen said she likes most about the program is that people have to

work as a team. “We all worked close together to get to the same point,” she said. “We helped each other out a lot. I’m really glad I got to work with the group.” Being an Indigenous youth, Friesen said she hopes to make a difference in the Indigenous community by improving their representation. Friesen said she worked closely with her sponsor, speaker Ashley Callingbull — a model, actor and First Nations activist who was the reigning Mrs. Universe 2015 — to gain new experiences and skills for the ambassador program. “That was definitely an experience,” Friesen said. “I still get to work closely with her for the next year to come. I’m excited about that.” Cloet said being part of the program is a way to learn about the city, get involved, give back and volunteer. “Most importantly, to make connections with people,” Cloet said. Cloet said after graduating next year from South Kamloops Secondary, she plans to attend Thompson Rivers University to continue her passion for gymnastics, while pursuing a career in the medical field. Presently, Cloet is busy with two part-time jobs, one as a gymnastics coach for the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre and as a front desk reception for her sponsor, Tournament Capital

Strength and Conditioning. With the program now including youth of all genders, Cloet said she thinks anybody can be an Ambassador regardless of how they identify themselves. “Seeing Ambassadors of all genders in the public eye shows younger people that it doesn’t matter who you are. If you’re right for the job, then you’re right for the job,” Cloet said. “It doesn’t take away any opportu-

nities for anyone.” Other awards presented at the July 9 gala: • Knowledge of Kamloops Award, sponsored by Tourism Kamloops: Alexis Cloet; • Public Speaking Award, sponsored by NRI Distribution: Alexis Cloet; • Sponsor Presentation Award, sponsored by Kamloops and District Chamber of Commerce: Alexis Cloet; • Butterfly Award (for most personal growth during the program as determined by the Kamloops Ambassador Society Committee): Bethany Mahoney; • Friendship Award (decided by peers): Sarah Brouwer.

PROGRAM DATES BACK TO ‘20S The Kamloops Ambassador Society comes from a tradition that is almost 100 years old. What began as Dominion Day Carnival Queen in the 1920s evolved into Carnival Queen, Miss Spoolmak and, eventually, Miss Kamloops in 1952, with Peggy Kelly holding the title. In 2021, the society transitioned into three equal Kamloops Ambassadors representing the city as a team. The program has included more than 860 candidates since its beginnings. Several alumni have gone on to hold titles such as runner-up to Miss Dominion of Canada, Miss Interior of BC, BC Ambassador, first runner-up to Miss Teen Canada and candidates for Miss Canada. The program is a modern, selfdevelopment-focused initiative for youth that provides them with life skills and the opportunity to serve within their community, enhance their education and create a positive network of peers and mentors.

Lace up your sneakers, grab a walking stick and take a smartphone on the newest walking tour in Kamloops. The first tour launched on Thursday (July 14) at Cunliffe House in Riverside Park. Created by the Community Alliance for a Resilient Kamloops, the Sustainable Stories tour is a partnership of local groups and individuals in support of sustainability. Creators Dr. Kim Naqvi and Deb Alore were on hand at Thursday’s tour launch

to explain the features and background to the project. “This project came about as a result of a coalition of groups in Kamloops who decided to work together to come up with ideas to support the Community Action Plan,” Alore said. The five stories focus on sites in the city’s downtown, sharing people’s experiences of events that transpired during their life in Kamloops. The working group and story creators sought to share their own experiences of sustainability from within events taking place in the city. Participants can find out about the tour by going

online or can spontaneously come upon the signs downtown and then use a smartphone to scan the QR code to enjoy a five-minute story as they continue walking. “It’s not a specific history of Kamloops, it’s a series of examples of alternative ways of doing things and ways of thinking differently,” Naqvi said. The project will continue to add more stories to the tour, exploring other areas of the city as people continue to share their stories. If you have a Sustainability Story to share, email info@transitionkamloops.net.

BOB’S WALK FOR CANCER RESEARCH Gary Averbach arrived in Kamloops over the weekend, having walked hundreds of kilometres in support of cancer research. Averbach is a senior nearing his 80th birthday. He decided to knock a longdistance walk off his bucket list, while raising money in the name of his late cousin and business partner, Bob. Bob’s Walk for Cancer Research is a walk from Calgary to Vancouver. It began on June 25. Averback has walked more than 500 kilometres and raised more than $326,000 of his $500,000 fundraising goal. Averbach said the idea to walk for cancer research came at the request of his cousin, prior to his death. He also knows that cancer is an illness that affects many people across Canada. “It’s for cancer research because there is hardly a family that hasn’t had someone taken away from them by cancer,” Averbach said.

JESUS SAID: ‘RISE, TAKE UP THY BED AND WALK’

n the Bible, in John 5:116, we have the account of a man who was plagued with an infirmity for 38 years. We are not given his age, name, who his parents were or many details of his life. The man seems to have some kind of paralysis or movement disorder. The account starts with one of the annual feasts of the Jews and Jesus has come to Jerusalem for the feast. It could be the Passover, but we are simply not told. One thing to note here at the beginning of this article is that John wrote his gospel with a purpose in mind. In the end of his gospel, John wrote that what was given was for us to focus on seven or eight main signs that would give us reason to “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing we might have life through his name” (John 20:31). Jesus came to this pool of Bethesda where our unnamed man was found. There is mention of a sheep market, but it would be better called the sheep gate of the north east gate of Jerusalem.

JOHN EGGERS

You Gotta Have

FAITH

Thirty-eight years is a long time for a person trying all he can to get into this pool and be healed. The man is a picture of us in our weakness. Romans 5:6 says, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” We read that Jesus knew of the long time that this man endured this malady. Jesus asked the man, “Will you be made whole?” The man responded that he did not have anyone who could help him into the pool. So it seems that the man had all but given up hope of ever being well again. We next read that Jesus told

the man “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” John writes that the man was immediately whole and took up his bed and walked. It was an amazing miracle and John says it was the Sabbath day when he made the man whole. There was a multitude of people at the pool still waiting for the right time to step into the pool. The Lord only healed this man and moved on in his work to other places in Jerusalem. The fact that it was the Sabbath day directs our thoughts to the hatred of some of the Jews. They said to the man that, according to their law, it was wrong for him to carry his bed on the Sabbath day. The man responded that the man who healed him told him to take up his bed and walk. The Jews asked him, “Who healed you?” The man did not know it was Jesus because he left just after he healed the man. Afterward, Jesus found the man in the temple and spoke to him. So then the man knew it was Jesus who had healed him and he went to the Jews that had asked him about it earlier. The healed man told them

who had healed him and their response was one of hatred. In Psalm 69:4, it is written prophetically of God’s Son: “They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head.” So John writes, “And, therefore, did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him because he had healed on the Sabbath day.” In John’s gospel, this is where the opposition to Jesus started. It all culminated in his crucifixion outside of Jerusalem where he died for our sins. In John 3:14-15, where it is written, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John Eggers is an elder in the assembly that meets in Westsyde Gospel Hall in Kamloops.

Mustard Seed recovery program, raises support KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Men’s Supportive Recovery Program, through The Mustard Seed, is launching a fundraising campaign to bring awareness to the work they do for those in our community struggling with substance use disorders. The program is in the process of acquiring accreditation from the Community Care and Assisted Living Act with the province. Along with the 17-room facility/home, it provides a safe, supportive and judgement-free living space for men. The 12-month recovery program works with men already committed to a life change and who have completed five days of sobriety on their own. The Recovery program uses a holistic approach, encompassing the spiritual,

emotional and mental aspects of the person. Programs include: boundary workshops, relapse prevention training and mandated fiveday attendance to Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step meetings are part of the required curricula. The recovery home itself provides supportive community living. Recovery manager Jeff Arlitt, who previously struggled with drug dependence in his early years, provides additional support for men committed to working through the 12-month process. “It was this program that changed my life,” Jeff Arlitt said. “It works. I am living proof and I am here to support others who want this same freedom.” The Mustard Seed Kamloops, managing director, Kelly Thomson said, “Speaking

to the graduates of the program is so encouraging, they are full of hope for a new life, and so many changes occur during their time there. We provide the tools, support, and resources for those who want to make a life transformation. They go

on after graduation, living as whole, active, contributing members of our society.” The fundraising campaign runs from July 11 to Aug. 9. To support The Mustard Seed’s Supportive Recovery Program, go online to: theseed.ca.

THE AWARD-WINNING PROJECT RETURNS!

For the last two years, Kamloops showed just what a kind community it was in Kindloops - a special project produced by Kamloops This Week. We asked for your submissions of random acts of kindness, published them in a special edition This project was recognized as the winner of the Ma Murray Community Service Award by the BC and Yukon Community NewsMedia Association. That’s a testament to our community as a whole pulling together to help each other through the most challenging time of our generation. While we are emerging from the global crisis caused by COVID-19, we need to keep being reminded what a kind place we can be - and need to be. So we’re bringing it back. All you have to do to participate is give the name of a local individual who’s done something kind for someone else in Kamloops. We’re going to publish those submissions in Kamloops This Week. The person who performed that act of kindness and the person who nominated them will each get a $25 gift certifıcate to a local shop. On July 27, we’re going to put all the entries together into a special commemorative edition, celebrating all the acts of kindness that have been nominated.

Celebrate kindness with us in Kamloops with Kindloops.
