Tk’emlúps Kúkpi7 calls pope’s apology a ‘pivotal point’
HIGH RENTAL MARKET IN KAMLOOPS FELT BY ALL MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER

amloops residents at both ends of the economic spectrum are facing challenges in the rental market. Kim Torreggiani, a senior executive at Thompson Rivers University, recently had difficulty finding a new home. She spent the past month going through some 40 listings before finding a place to stay, after she was evicted from her rental of five years, due to her landlords moving in. When she did find a new home, it cost $600 more than her previous rental. Torreggiani’s new place is also farther away from work, meaning higher travel costs added to her higher rent and cost of living. Meanwhile a 67-year-old Kamloops woman told KTW she is struggling to find affordable housing. Shirley, who did not wish to give her last name, is a pensioner. She lives off about $2,500 per month, with $2,200 going to pay her rent at the Country View Motor Inn in Valleyview. Shirley said she does not qualify for subsidized rent. She said it is difficult to purchase groceries and medication, with the few hundred dollars she
has left each month. Shirley said she was evicted in January from her home at Karamar Apartments, where she was paying $1,058 per month in rent. She said she was connected by ASK Wellness with her current two-bed hotel room, which includes a bathroom and fridge. Shirley said she does not believe the hotel room is worth $2,200, but she feels forced to spend it with no where else to go or risk ending up on the streets. She told KTW she inquired as to why the rent was so high and was told it was due to a lack of housing inventory in town. “For $2,200, I could have a mortgage,” Shirley said. KAMLOOPS RENTS SHOWING COMPARISONS TO VANCOUVER Torreggiani described rental prices in Kamloops as high. Out of curiosity, while searching for her new place, she checked the current rental rates in Vancouver. The results, she said, surprised her. She found examples of rental accommodations for the same amount of money as some in Kamloops. She said one of the main reasons she moved back to her hometown of Kamloops from Vancouver seven years ago was the afford-

ability factor. Kamloops has historically been a much more affordable place to live. Torreggiani said she is now seeing basement suites in Kamloops listed for $2,000 per month. “I can’t wrap my mind around how people think they can charge that,” Torregiani said. “But they’re $2,000 in Vancouver, too.” KTW searched basement suites listed for rent on Kijiji for both Kamloops and Vancouver. The River City yielded 28 results, compared to Vancouver’s 33 rental listings. Many were going for the same monthly rates in Kamloops and Vancouver. The Vancouver rentals ranged from $1,400 to
$3,300 per month, while the Kamloops rentals ranged from $1,000 to $3,000. “The fact we’re narrowing the gap is concerning to me,” Torregiani said. Torregiani said she would expect to pay more to rent in a large city because it has more amenities. She said she worries Kamloops will lose its competitive edge in attracting workers and students, if it can no longer offer an affordable lifestyle. In her role at TRU over the years, Torregiani has touted Kamloops’ affordability to recruit employees. “And that’s not the case anymore,” she said.
Pope Francis’ apology in Canada went further than what he expressed at the Vatican this past spring and contained important acknowledgements survivors of residential schools needed to hear, according to Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir. Casimir led a delegation of Kamloops Residential School survivors via shuttle bus to take part in ceremonies in the Edmonton, Alta. area, during the pontiff’s week-long visit to Canada — a trip she described as a “pivotal point in history.” The trip is in an effort by the Catholic Church to reconcile with Canada’s Indigenous peoples for abuses inflicted by the church-run, federal government institutions. Speaking in Spanish to a large crowd during a ceremony on July 25 in Maskwacis, Francis told the crowd he was sorry and asked forgiveness for the “cultural destruction and forced assimilation” at residential schools. “I am deeply sorry,” he said. “Sorry for the ways many Christians supported the colonizing mentality of the powers that oppressed Indigenous peoples. I am sorry. I ask forgiveness.” The Tk’emlúps delegation, which consisted of the chief and some 15 residential school survivors, took in that ceremony.

Mounties target organized crime SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
An organized crime investigation that began in 2017 has concluded with three men charged and drugs, cash and guns seized by police. The investigation involved the Kamloops RCMP targeted enforcement unit (TEU) and the Combined Special Forces Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC). Using three search warrants, police in November 2019 found a number of items, including: $330,000 in Canadian currency, 174 grams of fentanyl, 704 grams of cocaine, 1.7 kilograms of methamphetamine, weapons including a .40-calibre handgun, an Airsoft replica handgun and a pair of brass knuckles, a Throttle Lockers Motorcycle Club vest, Hells Angels support gear, digital scales and cash counting machines. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky said police received information that indicated the Throttle Lockers, a “support club” for the Kelowna chapter of the Hells Angels, were attempting to establish a presence in Kamloops. “Certainly they were interested in expanding their presence and control, and our priority was to prevent that from happening,” he said. Lecky said what resulted was an “exceptional” project that resulted in the three arrests on a number of drug-related charges and large-scale seizures. The investigation began under former superintendent

Brad Mueller and was led by former Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay. CFSEU-BC took over the investigation in July 2018, after the scope grew. One of the search warrants targeted the Sunshine Gardens Greenhouse Superstore in Valleyview. According to reporting by the Vancouver Sun’s Kim Bolan, it was owned by Zale Coty, one of the three men recently charged and a close associate of a Hells Angels member. Coty is facing seven drug-related charges, including trafficking, possession for the purposes of trafficking and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. Shawn William Carlisle, 49, is also charged with trafficking a controlled substance and a violation of the Cannabis Act, and Jacob Andrew Cavanagh, 27, is
charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. CFSEU-BC Supt. Duncan Pound called the investigation “a hugely important step to try to take enforcement action to prevent that establishment from taking place.” Pound called the investigation “a huge success.” Following a shooting that occurred in Dallas last week, Lecky said it may be related. “I can’t say there’s any direct connection at this time, but what I can say is, as has been our experience in the past, it’s not uncommon that we find these are [gang related],” he said. Lecky said organized crime will continue, despite enforcement action, with gangs occasionally jockeying for control. “Our job is to try to maintain
the pressure to keep it in balance, to prevent any one group from taking over and the crime that follows, the homicides and shootings,” he said. With charges coming more than five years after the investigation began, Lecky said there is some frustration in the charge approval process because “offenders don’t stop offending.” “Whether we’re talking about bail reform for the little guy — a property crime offender, they don’t stop committing crime — and neither do these guys,” Lecky said. Without providing any details, Lecky did say there are other, similar investigations about to wrap-up, including one tied to a larger group. He said he hopes to make announcements related to that investigation soon.

Funds approved for organic waste collection MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A municipal organic waste collection program, which has been piloted in some areas of town, is expected to expand to homes across Kamloops next fall. Council voted eight to one to spend $1.2 million from the city’s solid waste reserves to implement the new curbside organic waste collection program for all singlefamily residences in Kamloops. The city is looking to separate out food scraps and other materials from household garbage bins — and, therefore, the landfill — by collecting via a new third bin compostable items including: meat bones, vegetable trimmings, soiled paper, yard waste and more. Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dale Bass, Dieter Dudy, Sadie Hunter, Bill Sarai, Kathy Sinclair, Arjun Singh and Denis Walsh voted in favour, while Coun. Mike O’Reilly opposed. The new program will cost $600,000 in annual operating costs, including $360,000 for four new full-time employees and $240,000 in fleet-related costs, as the municipality will add two more garbage trucks for the program.
The city plans to charge residents $12 per year for 120-litre organics carts and an additional $70 for the largest 360-litre garbage bin (to $300 from $230 per year) to offset the operating costs. The city expects $642,442 in revenue per year. During a recent committee of the whole meeting, council asked staff to look at pulling money for the program from the city’s Community Climate Action Plan reserve. During last week’s council meeting, however, the city’s streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow advised against using that source of funding. Farrow

said using climate action funds would delay the curbside organic collection program until 2024, in order to build up enough money. The city plans to expand the program in the fall of 2023. Farrow also said using that reserve would hinder other projects, as it has been earmarked for climateaction initiatives. Farrow told council increasing the city’s waste diversion rate and extending the life of the city’s landfill are two key reasons to implement the program across the city. Council read the bylaw amendment approving the funds for the first three
times. Council will be required to adopt the amendment through an additional vote at a future meeting. Bylaw adoption is typically a rubber-stamping process, with changes typically made ahead of that stage. One question left to be answered about the program, however, remains: Where is the organic waste going to go, once it is collected by the city? Singh asked if the material will be transported out of town or composted locally. Farrow said the city is still in the process of negotiating details of the cost for processing and where it will take place with a contractor. Farrow’s report to council states that the city expects the resulting agreement will see the material processed via windrow composting, similar to the process used for the municipal yard waste program. The new agreement is not expected to have an impact on the program’s current cost projections. Walsh asked about plans to include multi-family and commercial properties. Farrow said the focus right now is on single-family residences, which was a similar approach taken with recycling. The city plans to look into expansion, once singlefamily collection is established. KTW reached out to O’Reilly for comment on why he opposed.

Apology ‘extremely important’ From A1
Casimir said the visit was an “experience of a lifetime.” Residential school survivors got to witness the papal apology close to where the pontiff was seated. She said hearing the pope acknowledge wrongs of residential schools and policies of assimilation and colonialism were “extremely important for our survivors to hear.” “It was those things that had impacted their ways of being and knowing, and apologizing for that and saying the words that he begged for forgiveness, I think that was truly something that had to be heard and witnessed,” Casimir said. On Tuesday, the pope held mass at Commonwealth Stadium and in the evening travelled for a prayer service to Lac Ste. Anne. Casimir told KTW on Tuesday morning their delegation did not take in the mass, but would head to Lac Ste. Anne to visit with the pope, before returning to Kamloops on Wednesday night. The pope’s apology followed one he made at the Vatican on April 1 to First Nations delegates, including Casimir. The chief met with the pontiff and invited him to Tk’emlúps. Twohundred probable graves were detected by ground-
penetrating radar near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in May 2021 and set off a series of findings across the country. It renewed a call for reconciliation and ultimately lead to July’s papal visit. What stood out to Casimir from the pope’s apology on Canadian soil was that he touched on justice and reconciliation, assimilation and colonialism, an apology being the first step of many, acknowledging residential school pain and trauma and expressed his remorse. “To me that was a lot more than what was shared over at the Vatican,” Casimir said. Pope Francis described his visit as a “penitential pilgrimage.” He said the overall effects of policies linked to the residential schools were “catastrophic.” “What our Christian faith tells us is that this was a disastrous error, incompatible with the gospel of Jesus Christ,” the pope said. He said it was painful to think of how Indigenous identity eroded and that Indigenous people have continued to pay the price. “For my part, I will continue to encourage the efforts of all Catholics to support the indigenous peoples,” he said. “I realize that all this will require time and patience. We are speaking of processes that must penetrate
A7
hearts. My presence here and the commitment of the Canadian Bishops are a testimony to our will to persevere on this path.” Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Frank Caputo took in both the ceremony at Maskwacis and the mass at Commonwealth Stadium. He told KTW he went through a lot of emotions listening to residential school survivors. “You hope for healing and reconciliation, but that’s not going to happen overnight,” Caputo said. Casimir, when in Rome, hand-delivered the pontiff an invitation to Kamloops, which ultimately was not fulfilled. During his speech in Maskwacis, the pope lamented his inability to accept many invitations he received to visit places, including Kamloops. “Nonetheless, please know that all of you are in my thoughts and in my prayer,” Pope Francis said. “Know that I am aware of the sufferings and traumas, the difficulties and challenges, experienced by the indigenous peoples in every region of this country. The words that I speak throughout this penitential journey are meant for every native community and person. I embrace all of you with affection.” —with file from Black Press

Research will be increasingly important in TRU’s future
I
f asked what TRU’s primary purpose is, most people would likely say teaching. Of course, they are right — teaching has been and always will be what TRU strives to do best. We want our students to get the skills and training they need to succeed in their chosen endeavours. We have another complementary purpose; however, that is playing an increasingly important role at our institution, one that will drive exciting growth and opportunity areas in the future — research. Pursuing this purpose will only enhance and improve our historical function. By developing opportunities for meaningful research experiences, we provide students with more profound learning opportunities. This past spring, TRU approved a five-year Strategic Research Plan. It is an exciting vision that will open new realms of opportunity for students and faculty, as well as for communities, government and private enterprises. Our plan ties together many aspects of research that people might hear about but may not fully understand. For example, there are Canada Research Chairs and B.C. Research Chairs — world-class scholars funded by grants provided by governments for specific areas of research. TRU has 12 research chairs, which are positions that allow top professors to focus their scholarly efforts in areas such as wildfire ecology, nursing, children and law, building sustainable communities, land restoration and Indigenous health. There are also partnerships

TRU
with other post-secondary institutions and organizations, including the Research Universities Council of B.C. and the Interior University Research Coalition. These organizations work proactively to promote and develop B.C.’s research potential. They also help amplify the impact of the research results produced by TRU’s faculty and students. And there are many other avenues for research that TRU has either created, negotiated or supports, such as new graduate programs, research networks, focussed publications and critical partnerships with outside agencies, including a collaboration with the City of Kamloops for a Researcherin-Residence. This partnership embeds a team of six TRU faculty and students working with the City of Kamloops’ staff and TRU’s social innovation lab. Together, they are identifying and co-creating practical solutions to challenging social issues confronting municipal planners and leaders. TRU’s Strategic Research Plan takes a mission-driven approach.

At the core of this plan is a desire to connect TRU with partners at all levels. It identifies social, cultural, health, environmental and economic areas where our research will significantly contribute to developing and implementing solutions to societal challenges. These challenges reflect our areas of research strength and emerge from TRU’s mission, vision, values and change goals. Over the next five years, TRU will look for opportunities to tackle the following: • Understanding and responding to changing climate, its consequences for our environments (built, natural and social) and pursuing sustainable solutions; • Contributing to greater social cohesion and a sense of belonging through a commitment to social justice, equity, diversity, inclusion and social responsibility; • Strengthening the health, quality of life and cultural sustainability
in our local and regional communities; • Advancing technological, social and economic development and innovation that improves people’s lives; • Seeking truth, reconciliation and rights through Indigenous-led research and capacity building. This is what university research is all about: identifying social challenges, problems, issues, and opportunities for advancing knowledge and focusing resources to create progress. In this short space, I cannot describe all the ways TRU will do this vital work. All the research infrastructure I mentioned earlier is designed to support this purpose. I can say that research will continue to emerge as an ever more essential function at TRU, ensuring that TRU becomes recognized as a national leader in researchinformed teaching and learning. There is much work to do; how-
ever, it is the stuff that drives excitement and purpose at universities, and I do not doubt that our increasing focus on research alongside excellence in teaching will take TRU to new heights. The chance for students to engage with professors working at the top of their academic fields will only benefit those who come here to learn, putting them at the forefront of knowledge. I expect that TRU and excellence in research will become synonymous with each other, in the same way that TRU is known for the quality of our student-focussed, open-access teaching programs.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NEW STREET LIGHTS, MAYBE NOT SO COOL Editor: While we have been enjoying the lovely long days of summer, the City of Kamloops has directed BC Hydro to switch out residential street lights on wooden Hydro poles, so we will have daylight 24 hours per day, all year. There will be no more restful nighttime rhythms to the neighbourhood. Our night sky will be diminished. We will have to deal with glare, when walking or driving, but we will have no greater safety. The switch to LED lights does make sense for the energy savings and to comply with a federal government requirement. However, while BC Hydro’s website recommends to the customer (in this case the municipality) the lights in residential areas be in a warm white range — which is still considerably brighter than the old lights — the city has chosen lights in the cool white range. These lights are industrial-area bright and are in the blue-light range experts have warned against for years. For reference, light is described by colour
temperature on a Kelvin (K) scale. The old lights were 2300K; the lights BC Hydro recommends for residential communities are 3000K. The city, meanwhile, has chosen 4000K. Visit Home Depot’s lighting section and experiment with the samples they have to see the difference between these three levels. The cooler white of the 4000K emits more of the blue light associated with suppressed melatonin, disturbed sleep patterns, and disruption to birds and wildlife. In a city already noisy from highways and railways, now even the lights shout at us. We ask the city to honour our request to have the 3000K lights recommended by BC Hydro installed. Until the lights are corrected, be aware BC Hydro suggests residents contact the city to have those lights already installed modified so that their immediate light trespass onto your property is resolved.

TAXPAYERS ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE Editor: Here is one man’s point of view on why everything from the price of gas to building products, groceries and other goods will not return to normal. Basic math says higher bills to pay for larger bills on anything will produce higher taxes going out to both provincial and
federal coffers. Governments welcome that extra windfall for paying down the provincial and federal debt loads, amongst other uses. Therefore, odds are not in the taxpayers favour that the provincial or federal governments will shoot themselves in the foot, by offering legislation that could
regulate or stop higher costs of living we are all enduring. Those bigger bills on literally everything are producing bigger taxes. They want it, of course. We taxpayers are caught in the middle. Les Evens Kamloops

onkeypox is very unpleasant and it spreads very fast, but it’s not a real killer: 16,000 cases in 75 countries in just a couple of months is impressive, but there have been only five deaths. Yet, the World Health Organization has just declared monkeypox a global health emergency, which is a big deal. The only other infectious diseases in that category are COVID-19, which has already killed 6.4-million people, and polio, which is trying to make a comeback. Targeting monkeypox seems disproportionate — but there is a reason. “COVID-19 is broadly viewed as being a oncein-a-lifetime or once-in-a-century pandemic. Modeling work based on historical data shows that this is not necessarily the case,” reported the epidemiological start-up Metabiota last year. That’s because “the frequency of ‘spillover’ infectious diseases like COVID is steadily

WATCH increasing.” It is increasing because quick-killer pandemic diseases only started thriving in human societies when we began living together in large numbers. Lethal viruses and bacteria probably always spilled over into human populations from time to time but, if they infected little hunter-gatherer groups of 50 or 100 people, they just died out along with the victims. The natural home of those diseases were birds and animals that lived in big flocks and herds: lots of potential victims to sustain the transmission. But, when human beings started living in big civilizations and domesticated some of those animals, the pandemic diseases happily transferred across and thrived amongst us, too. For most of the history of civilization, successful transfers did not happen all that often: big new killer pandemics only came along every 500 years or so. However, now that there are eightbillion people and millions criss-cross
the planet every day, the disease vectors have more opportunities to spread and they move much faster. At the moment, according to Metabiota’s calculations, it is even odds that we will have another new pandemic on the scale of COVID-19 in the next 25 years. More precisely, they estimate the probability of another global pandemic as deadly as COVID to be between two and a half to three and a third per cent each year. It could even arrive next year. Monkeypox is not that disease. Despite its rapid spread to so many countries, it is transmitted mainly between men who have sex with men. There is an existing, fully effective vaccine for it (the same one that eradicated smallpox, which no longer exists in the wild). And hardly anybody dies from it. So WHO director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had some explaining to do when he broke a stalemate
at his emergency committee and decreed that monkeypox is a global emergency. He explained that it was to speed up research on “the new modes of transmission that have allowed it to spread” and to press countries to use vaccines and other measures to limit the numbers infected. These are all sensible things to do, but they really do not justify declaring a global health emergency. What he carefully avoided saying is that he really intends it as a reminder of our peril and a spur to action. The whole pandemic response system needs an exercise that incorporates all the lessons learned from our stumbling response to COVID and monkeypox provides an excuse to do it. Ghebreyesus is manipulating the system in a wellmeant attempt to persuade the world to build better systems for containing dangerous emergent diseases in general, and he may come under serious fire for doing so. But you can see his point because we have not learned enough from our harrowing experience with COVID. The vaccines were developed faster than in any previous pandemic and two thirds of the world’s population has been fully vaccinated in
about 16 months. However, the rate of immunity in the poorest countries is abysmal. That leaves reservoirs of high infection that serve as breeding grounds for new variants of the virus, some of which may be able to evade vaccines. This is an issue of distribution and organization, not a medical issue. Doing it on a smaller scale for monkeypox could improve the system for the next time something truly dangerous appears. The same goes for the initial phases of detection and containment, which were badly bungled with COVID. There will be much worse pandemics coming down the road in the future — will be, not may be — and the world needs to be better prepared. Just spending one-hundredth of what the world spent on fighting COVID to improve global readiness for dealing with the next pandemic — building local vaccine production facilities, regional labs with good analytical capabilities and stronger reporting networks — could spare us another two years of the misery and loss we had with this pandemic. If that’s Ghebreyesus’s real goal with this monkeypox business, it is all right with me. Gwynne Dyer’s latest book is The Shortest History of War.

Vacancy rates remain low in Kamloops From A1
Land Act: Notice of Intention to Apply for a Disposition of Crown Land Take notice that Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) from the Southern Interior Region has applied to the Ministry of Forests (MoF) Thompson-Okanagan Region, for a Land Exchange for Indian Reserve Lands purposes situated on Provincial Crown land described as all that unsurveyed Crown land together with that part of Section 7, Township 22, Range 12, West of the Sixth Meridian, Kamloops Division Yale District.

The Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation’s October 2021 rental survey showed the vacancy rate in Kamloops is 0.9. Seven years ago, in 2015, the vacancy rate was five per cent. Shirley said she has tried looking for a cheaper place to rent in Kamloops, but noted she is disabled, needing a wheelchair to get around, due to a leg injury, and cannot get down the stairs of the hotel to view places to see if they meet her accessibly needs. She said she has inquired on some rentals, but potential landlords have been vague about amenities. Torregiani described the process as a renter looking for a new home as a “full-time job.” She said it is stressful. In her experience, she said listing photos were sometimes misleading and landlord lease requirements were unfair. In one instance, the landlord asked to speak to references, prior to allowing her to view the unit.
Torregiani said demand for rentals in Kamloops is high. In one instance, she was one of 80 people selected to view a unit and it had been viewed 800 times online. Torregiani said she felt she would be the ideal renter, as she does not smoke or have pets. She said she feels for other people who are trying to compete for rentals with various caveats. Torregiani lived in Vancouver for 25 years before moving back to Kamloops seven years ago and has been renting ever since. When she moved back home, she expected to save about a third or half the amount of rent money paid in Vancouver. CITY, TRU HAVE EYE ON HOUSING ISSUES The city’s social, housing, and community development manager, Carmin Mazzotta, told KTW the CMHC’s most recent rental vacancy numbers are extremely concerning.
He said a healthy threshold is between three and five per cent. Mazzotta said the situation is compounded by recent reports about current and projected future housing supply gaps across the country and a housing affordability crisis. As of the 2016 Census, 47 per cent of renter households in Kamloops were living in unaffordable housing. The 2021 Census data has yet to be released. However, Mazzotta said he anticipates that number has increased over the past five years. As for the municipal response to housing issues, Mazzotta said the city continues to waive development cost charges on non-profit rental housing or provide funds from an affordable housing reserve to support affordable units in new development, parking reductions for affordable housing and social housing. He said the city also continues to work with BC Housing through a memorandum of understand-
ing to support development of shelters, supportive housing and affordable rental housing. Thompson Rivers University, meanwhile, is actively trying to increase its supply of student housing in Kamloops. Students have lately had difficulty finding places to live in the city, as a result of limited availability. The university added 114 units of temporary modular housing last winter and has committed to maintaining it through the end of April 2023. Council also recently approved a development permit for an 80-unit student hosing complex across Summit Drive. Development in that area could include up to three buildings of student housing. TRU spokesperson, Michelle Nordstrom, told KTW via email on-campus housing is in high demand for the 2022-2023 academic year, and TRU is encouraging students to apply or get on waitlists, if they have not already secured accommodation.

Split vote on EV rules will lead to ‘rough in’requirement next year MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Council powered down a proposed bylaw amendment, following a public hearing on new electric vehicle charging requirements for residential construction. The city proposed changing its zoning bylaw to require single- and multi-family homes built beginning next year to have pre-wired, energized electrical outlets (208V to 240V) capable of providing Level 2 EV charging. It is the equivalent of power required for hot tubs and dryers. The requirement was for a minimum of one parking space per dwelling unit, while the charger itself would be the responsibility of a future occupant to purchase and install. Visitor parking spaces and residential suites were to be exempt.
Council approved an altered version of the amendment. It will require developers to “rough in” wiring for a charging outlet, but not the outlet itself. Council passed the amendment in a 5-4 vote, with Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dieter Dudy, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai and Denis Walsh in favour and councillors Dale Bass, Sadie Hunter, Kathy Sinclair and Arjun Singh opposed. The amendment was proposed by Sarai as a compromise between those for and against the amendment. “Let’s rough it in so anyone who wants to buy an electric car, all they have to do is finish [it] just like you rough in your basement suite,” Sarai said. “I think that’s the fairest way to go.” Council read the bylaw changes for the first three
times. Staff will now draw up a definition of what a roughed-in requirement will entail and bring it back to council for possible adoption on Aug. 16. City of Kamloops climate and sustainability manager Glen Cheetham told council the term “rough in” is not universally defined. “For some, it could mean just the conduit, some might mean the conduit and the wires, it might be conduit, wires and receptacle,” Cheetham said, prior to council’s vote. “The part I think is important is we have insurance the entire [electrical] system itself has the capacity to provide and meet the objective of the policy and, by requiring it to be an energized out, it is basically been verified.” He said with an energized outlet, all necessary components of the system are in place, so contemplat-

ing something roughed in would need to come with clear and specific language to avoid misinterpretation. Cheetham noted a majority of EV charging occurs at home and increased demand is anticipated in Kamloops. He said it is cheaper to install outlets at the building phase, rather than after the fact. Eighteen people packed council chambers for the public hearing, with about 10 presenting to council. Council heard from local builders opposed to the bylaw changes and wanting a change to a “rough-in” requirement. Some residents, meanwhile, lauded the benefits of electric vehicles. Debate centred around the implementation of energized outlets in multifamily homes, whereas talk surrounding single-family dwellings was almost nonexistent and viewed as a
less onerous process. Concerns expressed by developers included a lack of current demand — with four per cent of Kamloops cars currently being electric, according to the city — added costs bringing proper hydro to multi-family buildings and the potential for obsolete technology in the future, creating wasted costs now. Council heard added construction costs would be passed onto buyers and further Kamloops’ housing affordability issues. Cheetham said a cost analysis found the outlet requirement would cost about $1,500 or more per stall for multi-family development, up to $500 for single-family homes. Those who spoke in favour of the amendment noted the benefit of addressing climate action and a better world for future generations. Council
heard electric vehicles are increasingly in demand, due to high fuel costs, and current charging capacity of multi-family homes is limited. Proponents also warned that not preparing outlets at the build stage would pass on the issue of expensive retrofits for EV charging outlets to strata boards. It was also noted having the outlets in place at the development stage could increase people’s willingness to buy electric vehicles, while more electric vehicles on the road would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, which the city said accounted for 66 per cent of Kamloops’ community emissions in 2017. The proposed bylaw changes have now been altered twice. A previous version of the proposal was for 100 per cent of stalls to be EV-ready.

Interior Health says RIH recruitment ongoing MORE THAN 300 FRONTLINE WORKERS HIRED SINCE SEPTEMBER 2021, AMONG OTHER INITIATIVES MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER

Local health officials are actively recruiting staff at Royal Inland Hospital, Interior Health North vice-president of clinical operations, Diane Shendruk, told city council. The Interior Health executive, who is stationed in Kamloops, appeared before council at its regular meeting. Staffing issues have plagued the hospital of late, and RIH has been the subject of local news stories surrounding staffing shortages in various departments. Temporary ER closures have also occurred in rural towns near the city. Shendruk told council she is aware people have questions and concerns

people really can go anywhere, be it within B.C., Canada or elsewhere,” she said. She said RIH has hired more than 300 frontline positions, including licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, care aides and student nurses, since Sept. 1, 2021. She said IH has supported RIH by redeploying 31 employees from other hospitals for specific shifts, with another 21 more expected. New clinical and support positions have been added in busy areas of the hospital, such as the emergency room, with shift co-ordinators and a director. RIH will now also permanently increase its intensive-care unit physician coverage to 24-seven and is now recruiting for those positions, she said.
Shendruk said the number of physicians in the ER will also be expanded by two fulltime positions to improve access and flow in the building. “As you can see we are actively recruiting to Kamloops,” Shendruk told council, adding this year Interior Health has also launched a digital marketing campaign to attract new employees to RIH. Coun. Dieter Dudy asked whether IH will have a role in recruiting family doctors. In addition, to hospital issues, many residents do not have access to a general practitioner. Shendruk said the health authority does not directly recruit those positions, but they work with the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice.

Meanwhile, the announcement of three more operating rooms being added in 2023 to RIH comes with the pursuit of more specialized nurses to fill those rooms. Shendruk said IH is actively trying to recruit more operating room nurses, which is a specialty trained profession. “We need to ensure we are able to make sure they are ready with their specialty training once we open the new OR theatres,” Shendruk said, noting two anesthesiologists have recently been recruited to start this fall. The newly-opened tower was initially to add just one more operating room to RIH’s current nine, but the province announced on Monday a $6.7-million funding commitment to add three
more. It will result in a total of 13 operating rooms at RIH. The new operating rooms will allow for an additional 3,240 surgeries to be performed each year. Shendruk said such investments in the hospital can help with recruitment. Coun. Dale Bass said one of the biggest issues council has had with IH is a lack of communication. Director of Communications Michaela Swan said cited new staff, six months to a year in their roles, and added relationships were lost over the COVID-19 pandemic and need to be rebuilt. Shendruk also recently appeared before the Thompson Regional Hospital District board. To read that story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

The non-profit services communities in the Central and Northern Interior of British Columbia. The Restore will relocate its inventory and operations to Salmon Arm. The announcement follows a recent move from their longtime former Kamloops location in
Southgate to the North Shore. “We were very excited to move to the 800 Fortune Dr. location and it’s unfortunate the decision had to be made,” Habitat for Humanity Kamloops executive director William Miller said in a press release. “Habitat Kamloops will maintain its administrative and operational offices there [Fortune Drive] but relocate the ReStore inventory and operations to the Salmon Arm location.” The release said the decision was made because of a downturn in the economy, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and
the impacts of shifting of consumer shopping habits. Major donations and local drop-offs have declined, the charity said. In addition, Habitat for Humanity has faced challenges with multiple break and enters, broken windows and issues of people sleeping in doorways and camping on the property. The release said the move to the Fortune Drive location was a temporary decision, with the site to eventually be redeveloped. KTW reached out to Habitat for Humanity for comment but did not hear back before press time.

Twisted Steak restaurant to relocate to CN station downtown WORK UNDERWAY BY RESTAURANTEURS TO OPEN EATERY THIS FALL The Keg in 2016, there were plans to use the space for a distillery and restaurant, but that project fell through, according to Mitton.
SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
The former CN Railway station in downtown Kamloops will host a steakhouse once again. This time, however, the venture will be run by local restauranteurs. Twisted Steak is expected to open at 500 Lorne St. sometime in the fall, bringing steak back to a location that housed The Keg restaurant for 11 years until 2016. “It’s got a cool downstairs lounge/bar area and the dining room is in great shape, still. It’s been really well kept. It looks like you could have it open next week if you already had the licensing,” said Twisted Steak co-owner Jeff Mitton, who runs a number of restaurant locations in Kamloops, including Mittz Kitchen. Mitton and his brother own 50 per cent of the new location, with investment partners taking the remaining stake. Twisted Steak is currently located at 1175 Rogers Way in the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel and Mitton said that location will remain open at least until the end of August. Mitton said work is underway to submit a floor plan to the city and apply for a

new liquor license — as the hotel held the current Twisted Steak license. The move will also be an expansion, with 70 to 100 more seats than the current location, Mitton estimated. That might also mean more staff. “We’ll probably have to bring a few more
people on, but it all depends on business. I like to think that we’re going to be busy. Anybody we’ve talked to likes the idea of having a restaurant down there again,” Mitton said. The station opened in 1927 and served CN rail passengers. Following the closure of
YEW STREET FOOD HALL STILL IN THE WORKS Another project involving the Mitton brothers is planned to open before the fall. The Yew Street Food Hall will house 10 stalls for non-franchise eateries. The food hall still has one stall to fill and some work with equipment left to do, but Mitton said things are shaping up. The hall, which is located in commercial space below a residential building in North Kamloops, dubbed The Colours on Spirit Square, was originally expected to open in the spring of 2021. However, it has been delayed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re getting there. The timeline is shortening up,” Mitton said. “I’m hesitant, still, to put a date on it because it’s still a moving target.” Mitton said the food hall will have “a very warehouse feel,” and plenty of options to eat, including two restaurants owned by the brothers, Mittz and Co. and Inferno Pizza Company.
Am I Empowering or Enabling My Adult Child? Parenting can be the most rewarding and challenging job. According to a 2018 survey on finder.com, a staggering 68% of Canadian parents are helping their adult children with finances. Personally, we have had assistance early in our lifetimes from our parents. Many of our clients are confronted with situations whereby they are debating when or how to help their son or daughter financially.
1.
Assistance can be for aspirational endeavours such as post-secondary education, home purchases, or helping invest in a business. Alternatively, help is often needed when times are tough or cash flow is lacking. These can include subsidizing rent, unexpected expenses, or major events such as job loss, marital break down, or credit issues including bankruptcy.
2.
Regardless of the reason to help your children, we encourage parents to consider the following when providing financial support:
Eric Davis
Senior Portfolio Manager and Senior Investment Advisor eric.davis@td.com 250-314-5120
Keith Davis
Associate Investment Advisor keith.davis@td.com 250-314-5124
Have a discussion. Sit down with them and help review their current financials and cash flow. We understand people tend to be private about finances or there could be underlying sensitive issues. However, we believe candor is required to make an effective plan and improve your son or daughter's situation. Sometimes it is helpful to engage an independent third party like a banker or accountant. Are funds a gift, loan, or investment? This should be clear up front. Gifts typically come with no strings attached. Loans should be in writing and have clear expectations with respect to interest rate and repayment schedules. You can be creative - no payments for the first six months. If it is an investment, how are funds to be recovered: sale of home, after a set number of years, or upon a predetermined increase in value?
3.
Set boundaries. If you are reaching into your wallet frequently, some suggestions include: reducing monthly support incrementally, offering assistance for 90 days, limiting help to one request every 12 months. Generally, you want to provide a hand up not a hand out.
4.
Where is the money coming from? Drawing from savings, investments or taking a loan. There are pros and cons to each. For example, dipping into your RSP has tax implications. Cosigning a loan means parents
TD Wealth Private Investment Advice
are liable and do not have control. Alternatively, parents could lend against their line of credit and have the kids cover the payments often at a better rate too. 5.
What is the impact on other family members? We advocate some level of transparency here. Family members often find out and we feel it is better to lead the discussion. Parents typically strive for fairness which may not mean equal. Offsetting gifts or adjusting inheritance amounts for prior financial support can be ways to help balance or maintain harmony. Again, ensure you document and update.
A final note around helping kids with credit troubles: We strongly urge parents to be part of the process with creditors or insolvency agencies before providing assistance to ensure debts will be properly cleared out. This will help ensure creditors are satisfied and avoid further repercussions. It can be rewarding yet stressful to find a balance when helping kids with finances. One of the key questions to ask is "Am I empowering or enabling my child?" Don't forget the impact on your own financial well-being and engage help along the way.
Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well. Written by Eric

Residents advised to prepare for heat wave Environment Canada issued a heat warning for much of the province this week, including Kamloops and surrounding areas. A heat warning is issued when daytime temperatures are 35 C or higher two days in a row and overnight temperatures remain higher than 18 C. The heat wave is expected to bring daytime temperatures of between 35 C and 40 C. On Tuesday, Environment Canada was calling for clear and sunny days throughout the week and into August long weekend. The forecast for Kamloops was as follows: • Wednesday, July 27: high of 37 C, low of 22 C; • Thursday, July 28: high of 40 C, low of 19 C; • Friday, July 29: high of 37 C, low of 20 C; • Saturday, July 30: high of 38 C, low of 17 C; • Sunday, July 31: high of
35 C, low of 19 C. The city has opened the concourse at Sandman Centre to provide residents reprieve from the heat. The arena is located downtown at 300 Lorne St. It will be open beginning on Tuesday from noon to 8 p.m. and will be open daily until the end of the heat wave. The city is advising water parks, water fountains and washrooms with potable water will also be available. A waterpark in Riverside Park remains out of commission, due to construc-
tion underway to replace the former infrastructure. A splash park is available in Aberdeen at McGowan Park and an outdoor pool is available in Brocklehurst, among other options throughout the city. The city is cautioning those who plan to take a dip in the river to be careful. Although high streamflow advisories for the North and South Thompson rivers have ended, the banks remain unstable. In addition, the city said it is working with commu-
nity partners to distribute bottled water to people at-risk of heat-related illness. Community services officers will distribute water during patrols. The city continues to seek volunteers to operate cooling centres in other areas of town. To volunteer, go online to: kamloops. ca/public-safety/emergency-preparedness/heatresponse. Last year, extreme heat claimed the lives of 595 British Columbians, including 17 people in Kamloops, where on June 29, 2021, the temperature reached a record-setting 47.3 C.
Preparing for heat:
Interior Health is recommending residents check air conditioners, to ensure they are in good working order. For those who do not have an air conditioner, find somewhere to cool off on
BCLC supports
hot days, including: libraries, community centres, movie theatres, malls and otherwise. Shut windows and close curtains and blinds during the day to block sun and prevent outdoor air from coming inside. Ensure fans are working. Consider staying with a friend or relative with air conditioning, if possible. Identify people who may be at-risk of heat illness in your life and help and/or check on them. Drink plenty of water and other liquids to stay hydrated, even when you are not thirsty. Wear a damp shirt, take a cold shower or bath in cool water. Take it easy during the hottest hours of the day. Wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or more.
Heat-related illness:
Although extreme heat
impacts everyone, young children, pregnant women, older adults, individuals with chronic illnesses and people who work or exercise outdoors are at greater risk of heat-related illness. Effects include: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and worsening of some health conditions. For more on protecting from heat-related illness, go online to healthlinkbc. ca/healthlinkbc-files/heatrelated-illness or call 811.
When to call 911:
Loss of consciousness, disorientation, confusion, severe nausea or vomiting, very dark urine or no urine, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe burns, choking, convulsions, drowning, severe allergic reaction, head injury, signs of stroke or major trauma.

Book reveals tales of poaching close to home RANDY NELSON’S SECOND BOOK A COLLECTION OF TALES FROM ACROSS NORTH AMERICA SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops author and former fisheries officer is behind a new collection of poaching stories gathered from every Canadian province and U.S. state. The Wildest Hunt is the work of Randy Nelson, who had a 35-year career as a fisheries officer that began before he even knew what a salmon looked like. It is Nelson’s second book. It builds on the success of his 2014 book, Poachers, Polluters and Politics, which detailed stories from his career. For his latest book, Nelson was the one on the hunt, scouring North America for the best poaching stories he could find and leaning on his connections to hear directly from those who lived them. “In every story except about three, I connected with investigating officers to get direct information that has never

been told,” Nelson told KTW. Nelson said he wanted people to understand the nature of poachers and how often poaching occurs. “Most poaching books are written about elephants and rhinoceros and everything is about African animals, but poaching happens in our backyard,” he said. A particularly chilling tale comes from New Hampshire. In An Officer’s Worst Nightmare, Nelson tells the tale of an ambushed conservation officer who likely only survived because the bullet ricocheted off his badge. Nelson recalled the story as particularly spine-tingling. He said he did not include stories where officers were killed — but those stories are not hard to find in a career that is often dangerous. The retired fisheries officer will be holding a book signing on Sunday, July 31, at Chapters, 1395 Hillside Dr., from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The book will also be available on Amazon toward the end of August.

His previous book, also from B.C. publisher Harbour Publishing, is in its second printing. Nelson’s second career as a writer came about when he decided to write down what he had experienced as a conservation officer. After sharing some of those stories, he was urged to try to get a book published. “Someone said, ‘You can’t write a book in 2.5 months,’ and I said, ‘I didn’t write a book — I just wrote down stories,’” he said. Nelson said he was so immersed in writing his second book that he would start making calls at 7 a.m. to talk to conservation officers on the east coast, leaning on connections he made at past conventions. Profits from Nelson’s debut book went to the North American Game Warden Museum. Half of the profits from The Wildest Hunt will go toward the Fallen Officer Fund, which is for families of fish and wildlife officers who were killed in the line of duty.

RIBFEST RETURNS TO RIVERSIDE Ribfest is set to return for a three-day event beginning on Aug. 5, following two years of pandemic-related cancellations. This year will mark the 10th annual event, returning from the pandemic in full force, along with the Hot Nite in the City car show, the dragon boat festival and, of course, a variety of barbecue temptations from six vendors. Ribbers attending this year’s event include Boss Hog’s, Gator BBQ, House of Q, Grizzly BBQ, Prairie Smoke and Spice and Smoke Dem Bones BBQ. Sustainability is also on organizers’ minds and the event will be a zero-waste undertaking, with materials being upcycled, recycled or composted. Spokesperson Bryce Herman said the goal is to create the first zero-waste event in the city. “We’re pretty excited and we think we can achieve it,” Herman said, noting work already done by the sustainability team. Herman said vendors were asked to provide compostable and recyclable materials this year, with everything that comes in and out of the park being sustainable in some way. Ribfest will run 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day from Aug. 5
to Aug. 7. The layout has changed slightly this year, Herman said, due to construction underway within the park. Herman said the changes, however, are for the better. “It means the beverage garden is going to be larger and it’s going to be right in front of the main stage,” he said. The main stage will host entertainment throughout the event, with daily entertainment from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Artists include three tribute bands honouring popular and classic acts, including Bryan Adams tribute, Reckless, on Aug. 5; AC/DC tribute, OC/DC, on Aug. 6 and Fleetwood Magic, Fleetwood Mac tribute band, on Aug. 7. Other acts taking the stage include: Some Band, InVerse, Someone to Blame, Golden Blackout, Chapter 9, Paisley Groove and Full of Excuses. Special transportation considerations have also been made this year for Ribfest. The City of Kamloops has made transit free for the weekend and a bicycle valet will be operated by District Bicycle, with security onsite and overnight storage available

Paddock told the Regina Leader-Post last month the plan is to build around Bedard for the 2022-2023 season. Gaglardi was asked during the media scrum if the Blazers are pursuing Bedard. “No, but it’s an interesting name, for sure,” Gaglardi said. “It’s something I suppose we’ll talk about if there is an oppor-
able, then, of course, he’s one of the best in the world, not only in his age group, but in junior hockey,” Clouston said, noting Regina is a first-class organization and he has respect for GM John Paddock. “It would be something we would have high interest [in].

amloops Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi took part in a press conference earlier this month at Sandman Centre to introduce Norm Daley as the club’s president and alternate governor. Gaglardi was also asked about the team’s roster, with the 2023 Memorial Cup on home ice on the horizon. “We have some moves we want to make,” Gaglardi said. “When do we make them? Sometimes, when you want to make them, the opportunities aren’t there. You’ve got to wait for the right market to occur. We’re paying attention. While we’d like to kind of make a splash and do something now, we really haven’t seen the opportunity to do that.” Gaglardi said the club has an exciting group of returnees. “We’ve got a good team,” he said. “This team I expect to be more competitive than last year’s team. We’re going to make it better over the season, but we don’t need to be in a big hurry. There is lots of time to make changes.” KTW asked Blazers’ head coach and general manager Shaun Clouston last month about the possibility of acquiring Connor Bedard — perhaps the most heralded prospect since Connor McDavid — from the Regina Pats. “If, for some reason, he was somehow at some point avail-

Katzberg to throw for Canada at the Commonwealth Games MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Ethan Katzberg of the Kamloops Track and Field Club will compete for Canada in hammer throw at the Commonwealth Games, which will run from July 28 to Aug. 8 in Birmingham, England. Katzberg, the 6-foot-6, 235-pound Nanaimo product, threw a personalbest 74.16 metres to win the Oregon Relays in the spring and that mark earned him a spot on the 43-person Canadian team
heading to the Games. “Being 20 years old and making the Commonwealth Games team is such an amazing achievement for such a young guy,” said Dylan Armstrong, head coach of the KTFC. “It’s going to be a good stepping stone toward world championships next year in Budapest and the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.” Katzberg moved to Kamloops from Nanaimo two years
ago to train with Armstrong, who identified the upand-coming talent at high school and club meets across the province. “It’s paid off,” Katzberg said. “It’s been a great decision. I’ve got some of the best coaching in Canada.” Armstrong and Katzberg are taking part in a 20-day training camp in Leverkusen, Germany, prior to the Games. “He’s super talented and he’s worked hard this year,” Armstrong said. Birmingham
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Ethan Katzberg’s personal-best heave of 74.16 metres is the mark that qualified him to compete in the Commonwealth Games, which will run from July 28 to Aug. 8 in Birmingham, England.
2022 will feature 19 sports and eight Para sports, with more than 4,500 athletes to compete, includ-
ing Kaila Butler, who recently moved to Kamloops from Port Coquitlam to train under Armstrong.
Butler, 23, has also qualified to compete for Canada in hammer throw in Birmingham.

The Secwépemc c7ístkten or winter home KEN FAVRHOLDT
SPECIAL TO KTW
A
mong the Interior Salish peoples of the Plateau culture area, the common type of dwelling used during the winter months was a semi-subterranean house. The winter home was known by the Secwépemc as c7ístkten. (See the website firstvoices.com for an audio clip of the pronunciation). These houses have been called different names by the early fur traders and settlers – keekwillies, quigglies, or kekulis (in Chinook jargon trade language, meaning “beneath” or “below”) but most commonly termed “pithouses” by archaeologists. Secwépemc ethnographer James Teit, writing in the 1890s, spelled the Chinook word “kekule-house.” Although pithouse is the generic term, winter home is the preferred term used by Secwépemc elders. Winter homes were semisubterranean log dwellings built of log poles covered with brush and earth. A hole at the apex of the dome was the entrance, with a notched pole. Ground level entrances were used, as mentioned by the late Dr. Mary Thomas, and were known as women’s entrances, as opposed to the men’s entrance who used the ladder. Depending on their size, the
c7ístkten could accommodate 15 to 30 people, usually four or five families. According to Teit, sometimes, the interior was divided into “rooms” and had benches for sleeping. The central or common area was where a hearth was made for cooking and heat when needed. Storage pits were also made for food. The floor of the house was covered with evergreen boughs and reed mats. Winter homes came into use in the B.C. Interior about 4,000 years before the present. Their origin in North America, however, is older and may have been derived from northern California, the Columbia Plateau or even the Sonoran Desert. Readers may also be familiar with the Mandan and Hidatsa pithouses of the northern Great Plains, which Lewis and Clark visited on their journey west in 1806. The use of winter homes marked the transition from a nomadic to a semi-sedentary lifestyle. The people of Tk’emlúps were a mobile society in the summer, dependent on hunting, gathering and fishing for subsistence. The houses were generally inhabited from December to March, depending on severity of the winter. They were reused and rebuilt if necessary. These dwellings were used by the Secwépemc and other Interior peoples into the late 19th century. According to Teit, among the Thompson or Nklaka’pamux, winter homes were used until the 1880s after
which log houses of the whites superseded them. Several winter homes would form a community. They were generally located along rivers, close to food sources, and a place with loose soil. The largest pithouse village site discovered in the B.C. Interior is at Keatley Creek, northeast of Lillooet on the east side of the Fraser River, researched in the 1980s by archaeologist Brian Hayden. This site is also home to some of the largest housepit depressions in the archaeological record — 115 housepit depressions, some 18 to 21 meters in diameter. The Keatley Creek site is estimated to be 7,000 years old, blossoming from around 2,400 BP (before present), with a population of about 1,000 people. In 1847, Hudson’s Bay Company trader A.C. Anderson estimated there were between 4,000 to 5,000 people gathered in the Fountain-Pavilion area along the Fraser, for fishing. At this time, the network of villages in the mid-Fraser region would have been one of the largest precontact communities in Canada. Fur trader Archibald McDonald, writing in 1826 from the fort in Kamloops, describes attending a “grand banquet” in a pithouse where there were nearly 300 people who, “sat upon the ground as thick as they could…” McDonald provides likely the earliest description of a pithouse in B.C., “…its dimension at base

is 45 feet square with an upright wall of about 4, and then the roof running to a point in the centre, to answer the purpose of a door. To this aperture is fixed up, near perpendicular, a stout stick of about 18 ft. notched at convenient distances to serve as a ladder…” As McDonald recounts, not all pithouses were circular. The remains of winter homes have been found throughout the Plateau region, where they leave a round depression in the ground. A pithouse village site at Kamloops, at the Heritage Park on the Tk’emlúps Reserve, is more than 2,000 years old, leaving depressions between five and seven-and-a-half metres in width, according to archaeologist Mike Rousseau.
Other village sites included in Valleyview, Westsyde and Tranquille. They have been destroyed leaving only housepits. Under BC Heritage Conservation Branch regulations, it is illegal to dig for artifacts in a house-pit without a permit. Replicas have been made of winter homes, including those at the Secwépemc Heritage Park. Unfortunately, due to the park closure, they are not accessible at this time. Others have been constructed at Shuswap Lake Park in 1972, Simpcw First Nation (Chu Chua), Xatsúll Heritage Village (Soda Creek) and Quaaout Lodge. Ken Favrholdt is archivist for the Secwépemc Museum and Heritage Park.

In Loving Memory of Mathew Justin Priestley July 13, 1978 - July 31, 1993
THE ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
A Rememberance for Carole Anne Kay. She was born on May 9, 1938 in Vancouver, BC and passed away in Kamloops on July 28, 2015. It is exactly seven years since she passed away. She will always be remembered and missed by her sister, two sisters-in-law, a brother-inlaw and numerous nieces and nephews. I will love her until I pass away. Carole was the whole world to me. She passed away in my arms at the Royal Inland Hospital. She has left a gaping whole in my life and my heart, that can’t be filled. She leaves a younger sister Penny and numerous nieces and nephews. She enjoyed travelling, her favourite places to go on vacation were Hawaii and Las Vegas.
Her loving Husband Robert (Den) Kay

No one knows the sorrow we share, When the family meets, and you’re not there. We laugh, we smile, we play our parts, Behind it all, lies broken hearts. Unseen, unheard, you are always near, So loved, so missed, so ever dear. Just as you were, you will always be, Forever treasured in our memory.
We love and miss you Mom, Dad, Jesse & family
The World changes from year to year… Our Lives from day to day… But our Love and Memories of you Shall never change or pass away.
Love your wife Lorraine and family

Time goes by really fast, It’s been a year since you passed. You are missed and remembered every day by family & friends and “Hey” We miss your words of wisdom & laughter and love you forever and ever after.
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.
Always Remembered Always Loved MUCH LOVE, Kathy, Darryl, Grace, Pete and family.
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
by Kathy Ruth Manongdo Written on Father’s Day 2010
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?

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. You advised most people not to prepay. Doesn’t prepaying give my family peace of mind? A. For some people it’s terrific. But two things can go haywire. First, Mom tells the kids “It’s all paid for...” But some parts aren’t guaranteed! So the family’s mad. Second, when you prepay you lose control of that money. What if you need it for something? Give us a call.

In Loving Memory of Audrey Boyd 1932 - 2022
Our beloved mother, grandmother and friend passed away peacefully in Invermere. She is lovingly remembered by her children: Patricia, Bob and Maureen, her grandchildren and dear friends. She was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Bob, and her older sister, Mary. Audrey was born in Smithers in the summer of 1932 to Ernie and Lois Dawson. The family moved to Quesnel shortly thereafter. Audrey graduated from high school in 1950 and even though she and Bob were already an “item” she attended Normal School in Victoria before embarking on a teaching career. She first taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Fraser Lake and later in Quesnel. Audrey was especially passionate about sharing the joy of reading with her children, her grandchildren and her many students. An animated and thoughtful woman, she knew how to bring out the nuance of any story. Mom was a lifelong learner and earned her B.Ed. from UBC in 1987. Audrey often gave more than she took, filling countless lives with smiles, laughter and a little wisdom. Her generosity of spirit was reflected in her lifelong mantra: “do unto others as you would have others do unto you”. Audrey and Bob retired to Chase in 1996, where they happily made many friends and took up new interests (quilting and choir singing). Frequent visits from and to children, grandchildren and friends filled Audrey’s days with laughter and good times. Audrey enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends and inherited her mother’s green thumb. She found great pleasure in her garden and the friendships that developed from sharing a love of gardening and a “cuppa”. We can’t help but think of Mom with a smile when the iris bloom. Peace be with you, Dear Heart.
Karen Ann Hanson Karen Ann Hanson age 80 passed away suddenly on July 17, 2022. She was born on April 11, 1942 in Watrous, Saskatchewan.

On July 20, 2022 Yaeko was laid to rest next to her husband, Alan Denis Brooks, at Kamloops' Hillside Cemetery. Yaeko was born in Ondo, Japan, on August 7, 1925. She and her large family enjoyed a seaside life filled with swimming, one of her favourite pastimes. Major global events influenced Yaeko's youth. Yaeko survived the hardships of World War II in Japan, wartime rationing, and the devastation following the terrible event in their neighbouring city of Hiroshima. During the Korean war, Yaeko worked as a seamstress and nanny for an Australian colonel on the Kure army base. She met her future husband, Alan, on her journey to and from work. They married and had their first child in Japan. In 1953 she made the brave decision to leave behind all that she knew and start a new life in Canada with her little family. Over the next six years her family would grown as she and Alan welcomed four more children.
PJ played ladies ball and had been an active member of the Ilderton Curling Club. She enjoyed time with her many friends in London with whom she and Doug snowmobiled, fished and socialized. PJ and Doug were looking forward to many years of travelling together in their motorhome.
She lived in parts of Ontario and BC before settling in Kamloops in 1966. It was here that Yaeko blossomed and lived the life she wanted. Taking cake decorating classes at the college. Supporting the local Japanese community via cultural events. Participating in the Japanese club and making life long friends. Making clothes for her children. Repairing clothes for people and missionaries at church. Making the best cakes for birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries.
A Celebration of Life will be conducted at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Friday, August 5, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. with visitation from 10:00 a.m. until service time.
Loving to do service for others, Yaeko took her many talents on the road and served two missions for her church; Chicago, USA, and Manila, Philippines. She loved to share her many mission stories with others.
Interment at St. George Cemetery, Hyde Park, will follow at 3:00 p.m. A livestream of the Celebration of Life will be available for those who are unable to attend in person – registration is required.
Yaeko loved keeping busy and working with her hands, evidenced by thousands of towels, blankets, and other crocheted items. She also loved giving her creations to friends, family, and the person who just knocked on her door.
To view P.J’s livestreamed service, on Friday, August 5, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. EST please register online at Westview Funeral Home, London and the live link will be emailed to you.
She was predeceased by a few but survived by many more including her five children, Susan, Lance, Sally, Vance, and Deborah, as well as over one hundred grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and their spouses.
Those wishing to make a donation in memory of PJ are asked to consider the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the London Regional Cancer Program.

Patricia Hofmann It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia Hofmann after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Patty passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday July 23, 2022. Left to mourn her loss is her husband of 30 years, Dwayne, her son Jarrett (Annika) and her daughter Miranda. Patty is loved and remembered by her parents Arlene and Dan Neath, her sister Sandy (Chuck), nieces Kaitlyn (Ian), Emily (Nick) and Cassie and a large extended family in Ontario, BC, and PEI. Patty was born in Owen Sound, Ontario on August 28, 1967, and moved with her family to BC as a young lady. Patty completed High School and graduated from Cariboo College before joining School District 73 to work at Parkcrest and Kay Bingham over many years. As an advocate for sign language and the rights for the hard of hearing, Patty spent countless hours teaching others how to communicate and create a more inclusive community for people with hearing challenges. Patty was an active member of the community working with many different sports groups her kids were involved in and she maintained a lifelong love of baseball. Patty was proud of her children and family and remained fiercely devoted to them throughout her life. Patty enjoyed travelling and was able to make a trip to Mexico this year where she created treasured memories with her family. The love, strength, courage and positivity Patty showed throughout her life, and in the face of her battle with cancer, is what has helped the rest of us navigate this loss. We will continue to carry on the love and legacy she has left for us all. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Canadian Colon Cancer Society. The family also wishes to thank the nurses of 7 North for their outstanding care over Patty’s final days. A celebration of Patty’s life will be held on August 28th.

Bonnie Jean Flanagan July 24, 1942 - May 23, 2022
Bonnie was born in Calgary, Alberta and grew up in White Cliff in West Vancouver. Bonnie was a grandmother to three, a mother to two and a loving wife to one. Bonnie grew up with her older sister Kenna. Throughout her life, she had a contagious laugh and a caring heart. There in West Vancouver she swam with her sister and competed for handmade medals from their father. Later in her life, she met her loving and of course Aussie husband, Neville. After just one month of knowing each other, they fell in love. Hand by hand the couple travelled the world and created many memories and hilarious stories. Not to mention that both of them completed the El Camino and were hoping to go there again. After travelling various countries and experiencing many cultures they decided to settle in Kamloops, BC. They shared their love of sportsmanship and leadership with the community. Bonnie completed several marathons and was active throughout her life. Bonnie Flanagan started the Subway stores in Kamloops and was one of the founding members of Developing World Connections. Bonnie has left her mark on Kamloops and all of those who have been fortunate to meet her. Bonnie was a mother to two sons, Grayden and Darren, and always supported the two with her positivity and realism. She showed them how to be good workers and supported them in their life pursuits. Everything she took on or started she took with stride and put her full heart into it. She was a role model for her sons and the backbone of the family. She shared her love with her grandchildren as well, as she would read to them before putting them to bed. She soothed them to sleep by sitting with them until they slept and would pretend to put sandman dust in their eyes. A sleepover with their grandmother Bonnie was always loving and creative. One such shared adventure was to look for dinosaur eggs in the backyard (even though they were just a pile of oval rocks). She was a woman of class and taught the grandchildren how to host the best tea parties, including chocolate-dipped strawberries. Bonnie was known to be a cheerful woman who enjoyed a beer shandy and loved sharing stories with family and friends. Bonnie was the historian of the family and knew the family tree by heart, thus passing this passion onto her granddaughter. She continued to amaze our family as a grandmother, a mother and a wife. Although she hated heights, she will certainly leave a towering space in all of our hearts, and we will miss her greatly. I think we can say for everyone we will miss her laugh the most. Special thanks to all that were involved in her care, especially the nurses, care aides and the guidance of Dr. Jill Calder. - The Flanagan Family

Elizabeth Winetta Palmer (nee Moffat) November 17, 1925 - July 17, 2022
With broken hearts we announce that Elizabeth (Betty) Palmer passed away in Kamloops, BC. She was predeceased by her two husbands David Laidler and Donald Palmer, daughter Grace Wolkosky, her only sibling Bill Moffat and her grandson Jessee Palmer. All of them will be awaiting her arrival with their dancing shoes on. Mom was born in North Vancouver November 17, 1925 to parents William and Grace Moffat (nee Wilson). She and her younger brother Bill grew up among the natural beauty of Lynn Valley. She loved to share her memories of riding her horse through the river valley. Following the death of her mother in 1948 she moved to Victoria where she met and married David. Together they would have 5 children until his passing in 1963. Mother was blessed in meeting Don a few years later, who not only fell in love with her but became a loving stepdad to her 5 children following their marriage in 1966. From this union her last child Kenneth was born. Following Don’s retirement from the navy in 1972 they moved to Edmonton where Don started a new job with the Federal Government. They made many lifetime friends while living there. In 1987 they returned to Vancouver Island to live out their retirement years in a large house in Sooke where they hosted many joyous gatherings of family and friends. Following Don’s death in 1999 Betty moved back to familiar grounds in Esquimalt and lived there until the passing of Grace in 2007. Later that year she relocated to Kamloops to be closer to her surviving daughter Carmen. Betty was gregarious and embraced the social opportunities of her new surroundings. She loved to dance, starting as a little girl with the Vancouver Ballet Company and we have great childhood memories of her dancing in the kitchen. Four months after recovering from broken hip surgery in 2017 she danced the night away at her grandson’s wedding. She joined the ladies Red Hats social group and loved participating in their many fun events. Moving to Berwick On The Park retirement home in 2017 opened up more social activities for her and she maintained a robust schedule throughout her 90’s. She leaves behind her 5 living children, Robert (Sharman), Donald (Cathy), John (Shelly), Carmen (James), Kenneth (Tina), 13 grandchildren and 12 greatgrandchildren, sister-in-law Yvonne Moffat in Halifax and her children William, Robert and Anne-Marie. Also left to mourn is her “second family,” the Watling sisters in Victoria who loved Betty like an aunt. She was blessed in her later years with many friends and loved ones, providing her a wonderful quality of life as she aged. To all her friends at Park Place in Kamloops where she lived for several years, we will continue to swing by and watch her tree grow. Kudos to the wonderful staff at Berwick on the Park. Mom enjoyed her years there. Thanks also to Dr. Thomasse and Daphne for administering to mom’s medical needs over many years. A celebration of Betty’s life to be announced at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577
A Celebration of Bonnie’s life will take place on Sunday, September 4, 2022, in the Parkside Lounge of the Sandman Centre at 1:00 pm. We ask that all who wish to come please respond with the number in your party to graydensam@hotmail.com by August 15th. Please attend in bright clothing with colourful stories to share. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favourite charity.
Love’s greatest gift is remembrance.

In chatting with my friend Dodie Costain, I mentioned a lady who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Cathy and I used to work together. Dodie — not even knowing the woman diagnosed with cancer — purchased two outfits for her to relax in, while having treatment. It was so kind and giving, I was blown away. Dodie is the best. - Bonnie Kavanagh My good friend, Sheila Nystoruk, has a heart of gold and makes it her mission to spread positivity on social media. She chooses to regularly post kindness quotes and messages to lift the spirits of others and encourage kindness. If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful soul, you know she embodies what she posts. Did I mention she gives the most amazing hugs, as well? Thank you, Sheila, for making the world a kinder place. - Lori Henderson Hi there, I have an office downtown where I come into contact with a wide variety of Kamloops citizens. Most are aware of Ben, and I do wish I knew his last name. Ben is a young man who people might easily overlook or misunderstand. He possibly has some limitations that prevent him from participating in the labour force in a traditional way. Ben cleans downtown streets meticulously every day. He is not paid, though he does accept tips. He is diligent and I have seen him working morning to night some days. While he might not be a typical candidate for a kindness honour, because he is not connected with the usual volunteer and community agencies, I think he has created a benefit to our community that exceeds what Kamloops can provide through usual paid or contracted means. I believe he would be well-deserving of an honour for his contributions to our community. - Lori Seeley
I think that David deserves to be recognized for the amazing work he has done on the FB page Living and Growing up Kamloops. He started this page when many of us were at a very low point. His kindness and generousity in allowing hope and laughter to grow and expand can never be replaced. I know myself there have been days when the only laughter has come from reading comments and reliving fun of the past. I would bet that if asked the other 19,000 plus people on his page would agree. In my opinion, David is more than deserving. - Cindy Herrick Georgia Martin Jackson has been making 300 peanut butter and jam sandwiches for the Kamloops Covid Meal Train two days per week for 65 weeks. It has totalled 130 volunteer days (520 hours) making 20,800 PBJ (420 sandwiches weekly) sandwiches for the homeless and others living in poverty. These delicious sandwiches were distributed far and wide — from Aberdeen to Valleyview, downtown and the North Shore — feeding people in the streets, motels and housing projects. She is the most dedicated volunteer who has never missed a scheduled day. She has also been donating water and juiceboxes regularly to wash down the PBJ. - Glenn Hilke
I live at the Hillside Walk apartment complex, which is located beside where a fire sparked between Valleyview and Juniper last summer. On the night of the fire, tenants were quite panicked and nobody seemed to know if we were to stay or leave. The next thing I knew, the building manager, Kevin, was onsite talking to everyone and providing calm direction. He advised us to have a bag packed but that there was no need to leave, unless we wanted to, and tenants would be informed quickly if there was any change. He stayed onsite until about 1 a.m. talking to returning tenants after the nearby evacuation was lifted. He was all over the property, walking in the rain, going from person I am from Neskonlith #2. After witnessing to person. I later learned he lives in Sun Rivers, the disaster of Lytton and ongoing attrocities which also had a fire at the same time, yet he of the federal government, I want to help people instantly after such events. I think I can chose to be with us instead of worrying about himself. He could have just stayed home and change the world, but I have got to change protected his own property but instead he came Canada first! What comes after reconciliation? out to ensure his tenants were taken care of. I A foundation of trust, compassion, understanding and most importantly the truth. think his kindness deserves mention. - Mark Nelson - Blair Deneault

Kindness begins at home and reverberates through the community and rememberr FIREWORKS are fun for humans but...
My son Alex and I were driving up Columbia Street, when we saw an elderly gentleman on the sidewalk trying to pull his scooter up the hill. It was obvious he was really struggling. Sadly, some people walked passed. It seemed like they simply did not see him. My son said, “Mom, turn around,” so that is what I did. Alex jumped out and asked if he could help. This poor old guy was so grateful and thanked immediately. He was out of breath, so Alex suggested he sit on his scooter while he pushed it up the hill for him. It was quite a ways before we reached a point where it was flat and the gentleman could actually use the last of the battery power to get him to Superstore and some shelter. He thanked Alex very much and was on his way. My son jumped into the jeep exhausted but happy to have been able to lend a hand. I was just so proud of the kind and compassionate man I had raised. #kindnessisking” - Correen Genshorek Emily Nicole went around colleting fans to give to us old folks, who were suffering in the heat. She drove all over town to pick them up and drop them off for us. She was so nice and gracious to me and I wish to be able to help her and give back. I want her to get gas cards or a gift basket with nice relaxing things. Us old folks do not usually have extra cash around so, if soemone can do it for free, I think that is nice and can give back to the nice young lady who has been helping us old folks since the pandemic started by also picking up our groceries. - Joanne Scott Angie Edgson had a yoga and wellness studio in Kamloops. She moved to Tofino to join her husband. Angie has a passion for wellness and community. Shortly after her move, the pandemic occurred. She started online meditation and yoga groups free of charge to support Kamloops and beyond to give them healing tools and positive energy during a difficult time for many. I want to give a shoutout to her for acting with such thoughtfulness of others and generosity of giving as is always in her nature to do so. Thank you, Angie. - Jeanie Cardinal
As my wife and I were leaving a restaurant after lunch, Shelley noticed Roberta was having mobility problems and kindly and gently offered her a ride in a golf cart, over to the parking lot where our vehicle was parked. The whole episode was done with such caring that I was almost brought to tears by her tender concern. Thanks for making my day. An appreciative husband and diner. - Roberta Barlow We have the most incredible neighbours. We adore them and they have been so kind to us over the years. When we recently found ourselves in a precarious situation and once again, they showered us in love. I was in the hospital due to an unexpected surgery. I was having a C-section after quite a rough labour. My husband was right by my side. We had let the lawn grown as we wanted to help the bees and participate in no mow May. Our incredible neighbours did not know what to do to help us out, when we were in the hospital. Marty Young decided at the end of May, when our lawn was a mess and we were at RIH, to mow our lawn. This act of kindness was not small. It meant we got to come home, focus on recovering and spend time connecting to our wonderful new baby boy. - Kelsey Ashe On Mother’s Day, I left about 15 pairs of handmade earrings and pendants (I’m an artist) at the base of trees in the local park. The message said Happy Mother’s Day, take for yourself or for a gift. They were all mounted on cards, as if in a sale. A little girl brought some home to her mom. She looked my name up (it is on the cards) and sent me an email telling me how it was the most amazing Mother’s Day gift because her daughter brought her home earrings. Pass along this story but leave my name off please. It’s not about recognition. - Anonymous All during the winter, Gary’s Deli provided Out of the Cold homeless shelter enough meat and cheese to make bunwiches for any person with an empty stomach. The deli always provided whatever amount of meat and cheese we needed. Thank you Gary’s Deli for their selflesss sharing to a part of the Kamloops community that has great needs. - Kathy Moore

I misplaced my cat’s harness and needed one for his vet appointment. I thought I would throw him in his cat carrier for the short drive to Go Fetch in Valleyview, where I could buy a harness and head off to the vet’s office to investigate why my cat was out of sorts. The plan failed miserably and instantly because my cat had a disgusting accident in his carrier the moment we got into the car. I called Go Fetch frantic and upset, telling them I needed help and was heading their way. I know for sure I was not articulate in my plea for help. I was not sure how to get a messy cat without a useable carrier or a harness into the store to buy a harness. However, store staff ended up greeting me at the door, invited me in (messy, unleashed cat and all). Before I knew it, they had fitted him for a harness and even cleaned him up. They were so friendly and helpful to my cat, Sherman, and myself. I appreciate the two ladies there for being so awesome. - Jennifer Jones
My sister Val Shannik is a teacher at Brock Middle School. She is spearheading a clothing drive to help support Brocklehurst families that were struggling before COVID-19. Many of them continue to face challenges, after losing their jobs during the pandemic. She personally has been driving around all over the city collecting donations from everyone willing to donate. Not only is she organizing, collecting and cleaning all the donation to get them ready for the families that desperately need them but she has been busy cooking special goodies to add to the lunch program and Starfish program to help feed struggling Brock students. She goes out of her way to make sure her students are fed, spending 100s of dollars of her own money on food items to make sure her students do not go to bed hungry. She personally delivers the food packages to families that cannot make it to the school to pick them up each day/week to support her students during this difficult time when their parents can’t. - Ashley Shannik

No prophet is accepted in his own country
T
here are four times when the statement “No prophet is accepted in his own country,” is found in the Bible. Jesus said it, while he was in Nazareth. The statement is found in: Matthew 13:57, Mark 6:4, Luke 4:24 and John 4:44. It is Luke who gives us the most detail of the context in which Jesus spoke these words. Luke 4:16-30 is where Luke writes of what happened on the day these words were said. Prior to verse 16 in Luke 4:1-13, we read of when Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into a wilderness area. He went there to be tested by Satan for 40 days and nights. At the end of that time, in verses 12 to 13, we read the last thing said by Jesus to Satan at the time. The Lord said, “It is said, you shall not tempt the Lord your God.” And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. In verses 14 to 15, it is told that Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into the area of Galilee. It said there went out a great fame of him through the
the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” So Jesus stopped at the place in the prophecy of Isaiah before it spoke of vengeance or JOHN judgement. EGGERS In Luke 4:20, we read that You Gotta Have Jesus closed the book and gave FAITH it back to the leader of the synagogue and sat down. All the people who heard Jesus read from Isaiah were looking entire region. intently at him. They wondered Jesus came into the town of at the gracious words that Jesus Nazareth, where he had been spoke and asked the question, brought up. He had a custom isn’t this Joseph’s son? of reading the scriptures in the They were astonished that synagogue on the Sabbath. Jesus of Nazareth was such a So he stood up to read from wonderful man.

not appreciated in Israel. Then Jesus reminded them of the days of Elisha and how he healed Naaman of his leprosy but the Israelites rejected Elisha. Then the people of Nazareth led Jesus to a cliff, where they were going to throw him off but we read that he passed through them and went to Capernaum and preached there. It is amazing that Jesus was so rejected. He was either hated by those who could not see their need of a saviour or trusted as the one who died for their sins on the cross. Jesus loved us and gave himself for our sins by laying down his life for us. Of course that is not the end. He is raised from the dead and lives in the power of an endless life. He is the hope for a struggling world of people who need to be reconciled to God through him. John Eggers is an elder in the assembly that meets in Westsyde Gospel Hall in Kamloops.

Pope continues to make stops on Canada visit The Vatican press office released the pope’s itinerary for his five-day visit to Canada, which will span until July 29, with stops in Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqualiut. Pope Francis arrived earlier this week in Canada at Edmonton International Airport. On July 27, Pope Francis will depart for Quebec City, where upon his arrival he will visit La Citadelle, where he will take part in private meetings, including with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and First Nations representatives. He is also scheduled to make a public address that day. On July 28, the pope will hold mass at the Sanctuaire of SainteAnne-de-Beaupré. Later in the day, he will meet with bishops, priests and other church members in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Québec. 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 te Secwépemc was left of 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. Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne 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.

This week you may find yourself taking on a teaching or mentoring role, Aries. It is one way to volunteer in the community and pay it forward.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Get together with others this week because you can use some extra support, Cancer. Otherwise, you may find yourself floundering in an uncomfortable situation.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Taurus, this week it may be challenging for you to relate to others on a certain level. Try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and see things from a different perspective.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Leo, self-control is important for you this week, especially as it pertains to shopping. Do not buy every item you see. Rather, think through purchases before taking the plunge.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
It’s possible you will find people to be extra aggressive this week, Gemini. Try not to react to what they are putting out. Instead, deflect that negative energy.
Hold your tongue as much as possible, Capricorn. Even a slight criticism may put a person off you for a while and that can cause friction that is tough to overcome.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
This week you may consider furthering your education or learning new skills. Try volunteering if you’re not ready for a financial commitment or if you don’t want a firm schedule.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
This is a good week to look at things in a new way. All it may take is viewing something from a new angle or with a revised attitude to have an entirely new perception.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20
Take a break and get some exercise in the process, Libra. Visit a nearby park and take an extended bicycle ride or jump in the pool to swim a few laps. Enjoy fresh air and breathing room.
Aquarius, even though you would like to spend most of your time planning fun activities for the future, this week you have to hunker down and focus on business.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

HOLMES IS WHERE
TARA HOLMES
Matchmaker
MASTER
Here we are. After writing two dating columns per month since February 2017, this is my last submission. I mentioned in my previous column I would be revealing my favourite couple since I started this process and, as you will see by the photo, it is my husband Chris and I. This does not mean we are a perfect couple or that we have not faced our share of problems and ups and downs. Relationships are hard work. It did not occur to me, however, that immersing myself in this business would make me realize how grateful I am to have my perfect match. I have heard so many stories of jealousy, control, insecurities and many who have unrealistic expectations of each other. Believe me, Chris and I have had our battles. I have an Irish background and he is a fiery red head. However, my husband has supported me completely since I donned my cupid wings and started aiming my arrow. He never once had an issue with me going out for coffee meetings with single men every day. One man I met with told me he
would never let his wife do this job. I am 5’6” and Chris is 5’7”. I have met with women who are 5’3” who have said they will not date a man shorter than 5’9”. I have had men tell me they will not date women with short hair. Many of these people want a partner, but they have so much criteria that they will most likely remain single. They call it “not wanting to settle.” Whereas, I see it as missing out on an amazing person who could be your perfect match. My husband and I met online before apps and people swiped away photos. If you can believe it, I did not even have a photo and I was just navigating the system to see how it worked. Chris started talking to me even though I did not have a photo. (That does not happen now). We spoke for a few weeks and he still did not even know who I was. When I finally told him my name, he actually had second thoughts because he knew ‘of me’ and, based on what he thought he knew, he was pretty sure I was not the kind of person he would be interested in. Luckily, he trusted his instincts based on our conversations and we met and fell in love. Here we are today, all of these years later. I want to thank all my friends and family for their support over the last five years and my business colleagues who helped guide me with their knowledge and insight when I doubted myself. Thank you to Neil Allkins of Save-OnFoods in Sahali, who has sponsored me from the very beginning with his wine store. He also allowed me to put a sign up and sponsor the ‘Single Banana’ section in the produce aisle. (The first sign was stolen out of the banana section and someone split with it and peeled out of the parking lot.) Neil is a gem and his staff are top notch. Thank you to Nandi Spolia, who has also been there from the beginning. His restaurant — Harvest by Nandi, in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel downtown
— is a place you must try. He has always helped with prizing and gift certificates and is generous to our community. Thank you to Kamloops This Week for allowing me to have this platform all these years to help me build my business. Every time I asked people how they heard about me, a majority of times they said in this very paper. It is important to support it and, take it from me, the advertising works. Thank you to editor Christopher Foulds, who always edited my ramblings before press and the whole team at KTW in production, sales and management.
WAS Lastly, thank you to the readers for taking time to enjoy these columns. I have loved your feedback and comments. Even though this is the last column I am doing, it will not be the end of reading my work. I hope to get your support next year, when I write a book about my matchmaking experience and offer some behind the scenes stories on the business of love. Keep reading this paper for more information on that next year. Until then, I am officially taking off my wings. However, unofficially, don’t be surprised if I still ask if you are single.
We love a good patio lunch Try our Harvest Spring Flatbread, made with our famous Roasted Garlic Bruschetta, locally grown greens and a spiced Flatbread from Brynns Bakery. Pair it with a Caesar because why not.
