The city-wide program, which expands on a year-long pilot program that is nearing completion, will see organic waste collec tion added to all 27,000 residential homes in Kamloops that now receive curbside gar bage and recycling collection. The community rollout is scheduled to start in mid- to late-2023.

As expected, Kamloops council has approved a city-wide curbside residential organic waste collection program. Once rolled out, residents will receive weekly organic waste collection, while gar bage and recycling collection will likely be done twice-monthly, on alternating weeks.

“While we are still in the last part of the pilot, through our data collection and engagement with pilot residents to date, we are confident in understanding what we need to tweak for a successful community rollout,” Farrow said.

Glen Farrow, the city’s streets and envi ronmental services manager, said the pilot program has given staff an opportunity to test the program with a smaller group of residents across a handful of collection routes before expanding the scope citywide.

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW has confirmed the identity of the woman investigation,under but cannot publish her name until charges are sworn. See

On Aug. 17, Kamloops Mounties arrested a woman and executed a search warrant at a North Shore residence as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged fraudulent medical services. Police were following up on com plaints from people who said they received botched cosmetic procedures in her home.

“Police were made aware of the allegations earlier this month and, since then, investiga tors have spoken to several people who have reported receiving botched procedures,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said. “We believe there may be more people with information who have not yet come forward and encourage them to do so to help further the investigation.”

Brink’s wife, Carleen, who does patient consultations, told KTW one woman came in stating she had pain and lumps on her fore head from an apparent Botox injection, which Carleen said is not a normal side effect.

Brink said his clinic has the ability to dis solve injected fillers, noting in some cases staff are monitoring and advising patients as they wait for the injections to wear off. One concern for Brink, however, is that without records, it’s unclear exactly with what products patients may have been injected.

POLICE HAVE INQUIRED Dr. Brink said he became aware of the situ ation about three weeks ago, when a person came into his clinic with a facial disfigure ment. He said between 15 and 20 people have come forward to date, all claiming to have been victims of botched procedures performed by the same woman at the same location.Hesaid the RCMP has also visited the clinic to discuss the case. Brink said he has heard from victims who tried getting their money back and were refused.“Not only were they disfigured, but they were also out of pocket,” Brink said. He said he has asked patients why they went to the woman for their procedures, not ing the most common responses were that they were referred by a friend, that “too good to be true deals” were offered and that they were attracted by the perception of cheaper service compared to a licensed clinic.

VICTIMS OF

KTW has confirmed the identity of the woman under investigation, but cannot pub lish her name until charges are sworn. Doctors at SKIN Kamloops clinic down town have been working to reverse botched facial injections done on patients, all believed to have been victims of the woman under investigation.Clinicowner Dr. Chris Brink said staff have been inundated with calls, emails and visits, with about 20 people to date who have come for “Wehelp.have had some nasty, deformed lips with lumps and asymmetry,” he said. In addition to the lip damage, people have also come forward with droopy brows and mouth corners from improper injections to the face from what is believed to have been Botox.Brink, who is a general practitioner, said no serious complications, such as blindness or necrosis, have been reported and none of the damage seen thus far is irreversible.

MORE FACIAL, A6

City clinic comes to the rescue BOTCHED BOTOX WORK; POLICE INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY

A local medical and beauty clinic is help ing people with facial disfigurements as a result of alleged botched cosmetic procedures conducted by a North Kamloops woman who is the focus of a police investigation.

“She lured them in,” Brink said, adding he heard the woman charged $12 a unit for Botox, which is actually more expensive than his clinic’s $11 per unit. Brink, who has worked in Kamloops since 2004, said this is the first time in his nearly 20 years in business that he has come across someone performing fraudulent cosmetic procedures in the city. “That I know of. For all we know, there might be people doing this that we just haven’t been made aware of,” he said. “But this is the first time we’ve just been inundated with cases coming from the same person, with the same story and the same history.”

The Brinks hope that by speaking out, it will generate greater awareness about the issue of illegal operators.

Carleen described the incidents as “alarm ing” and believes more people will come forward now that the case has been brought to light in the media.

• facilitating community meetings that include social service, Indigenous, govern ment, business, neighbourhood and city representatives to focus on collaborative approaches to community safety;

• developing educational videos that fea ture peers who are or have been homeless to help educate the community and reduce stigma.

Brink said that while the col leges for health professionals regulate the licensing of individu als who are allowed to conduct the procedures, there is a shortfall in that no organization is policing for illegal “Unlessoperators.someone makes a claim of disfigurement or some body feels there’s illegal activity going on, the cops are completely unaware,” he said. Brink said he and his col leagues are advocating for change in the industry, believing there needs to be an organization iden tifying and shutting down illegal operators before they can harm people.Brink said there are multiple ways in which such procedures can go wrong if an injector isn’t trained to understand the anato my of the human face. Products such as Botox cause temporary numbing of muscles and, if the injector places it in the wrong muscle, or puts too much of it in a muscle, it can lead to negative effects, such as one side of the face drooping, appearing as though the person has had a stroke.Itis an affliction that can take three months to wear off. Brink said illegal operators also may not know the proper dosage and overdose or under dose a patient. He also noted they may use substances similar to brand names such as Botox, but may in fact be injecting knock-offs.

A CALL FOR BETTER REGULATION

• continuing the sharps recovery peer pro gram, which offers supportive employment to those who are or have been homelessness;

“We don’t want to limit it to one area or one name or one street,” Evelyn said. “If you have received cosmetic procedures outside of a licensed facility, please reach out to the RCMP,” Evelyn said. She said she hopes more people will come forward as there is reason to believe more people have information related to the case. Anyone with information regarding this investigation or other similar incidents can call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-27566.

Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, who would be registered with the BC College of Nurses and Midwives, can admin ister such injections, but only if a physician has first assessed the patient and is present in the build ing, according to the website.

Brink said companies that provide his clinic and other licensed operations with legal products don’t do so for those not licensed.Brink added that those who have had a botched procedure should not feel embarrassed. He advised people to check the credentials of the person administering injections and urged people to ensure they attend well-established, licensed operations and do not attempt to bargain hunt.

KAMLOOPS THISWEEK

Dr. Brink said his industry doesn’t have much “teeth” when it comes to regulating illegal injec tors.Only licensed doctors, who would be registered with the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons and eligible under their scope of practice, are authorized to inject Botox and/or dermal fillers.Estheticians or other non-reg ulated people are not authorized to inject medicines such as Botox, regardless of any training or quali fications obtained from a medical aesthetic institute or academy, according to the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons website.

The woman under investiga tion by police has been released on conditions, pending the inves tigation’s conclusion and possible charges.Cpl.Evelyn told KTW the specific cosmetic procedures conducted and the exact location where they were administered are not being disclosed at this time as police do not wish to limit the scope of their investigation.

The program will cost residents receiving curbside residential solid waste col lection one dollar more per month on their utility bills.

JOIN THE DISCUSSION

In September, pilot pro gram households will have the opportunity to share feedback in a third and final survey as the one-year pilot program wraps up. Farrow said feedback from the pilot program residents will continue to inform adjustments in planning for the launch of a community-wide pro gram.Once the pilot pro gram has formally ended, curbside residential solid waste collection for house holds on the pilot program routes will remain the same as during the pilot program, with alternating biweekly garbage and recy cling collection and weekly organics collection.

tion from two councillors who voted against the motion. And council did so with some residents in council chambers also opposed, one of whom issued this plea: “The biggest concern I have is not that the gays are searching for or asking for tolerance. They’re demanding acceptance.”

• Pride Week in Kamloops fea tures myriad events, a list of which can be found online at kamloops thisweek.com and at kamloops pride.com.Theweek culminates on Sunday, Aug. 28, with the annual Pride Parade downtown at 11 a.m. and a after-party in Riverside Park from noon to 4 p.m.

But he continued with this sentence: “What’s done in private between adults doesn’t concern the criminal code. When it becomes public, it’s a different matter.” Hence the 1969 Criminal Code amendment only addressed sexual acts between two consenting adults 21 years of age or older done in private.Ifthree or more adults wished to have same-sex sexual fun outside a home — in a bathhouse, for example — they were still committing crimes under the sodomy and gross inde cency laws in the Criminal Code. Only in 1987 did those laws get repealed.Thisis important information to note if one still wonders why Pride Week is held every year in Kamloops. It has been only 35 years since homosexuality was truly removed from the Criminal Code. And it has been a mere 19 years in B.C. and 17 years in Canada that same-sex mar riage was legalized. That is all very recent and shows we are very late to righting some serious wrongs.

A stounding as it may seem, homosexuality was actually illegal in my lifetime — and in the lifetimes of many KTW readers. In fact, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ last Stanley Cup victory, Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s first year as prime minister and NASA’s moon landing all occurred while it was a crime in Canada to engage in same-sex relations.Onlyin the summer of 1969 did Parliament begin to move homo sexuality from the Criminal Code — but the sexual act remained illegal in some forms until the late 1980s. Until 1969, engaging in same-sex relations was illegal in Canada, found under sodomy and gross indecency sections of the Criminal Code. Public sentiment began to change with the Everett Klippert case, which saw the man spend about a decade in prison for the crimes of having sex with other men. In 1967, while serving as justice minister in Lester Pearson’s Liberal government, Trudeau uttered a nowfamous line when speaking with reporters about amendments to laws concerning homosexuality. The first part of Trudeau’s quote is oft-repeated: “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.” But the second part of his quote — the one that illustrated that amendments to the Criminal Code would not fully decriminalize nor legalize same-sex relationships — is rarely included in retrospectives. Yes, Trudeau did say, rightly, that “there’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.”

A pastor at a Kamloops church who made the petition available for his congregation said “from a biblical standpoint, we see homosexuality as a sin. The lifestyle they promote is a sexual deviant lifestyle.”

Even the Kamloops Pride movement has encountered its fair share of opposition, at city hall and beyond.While the annual Pride Week (held this year from Aug. 22 to Aug. 28) is now well established and embraced locally (notwithstand ing the occasional rude comment online), it wasn’t always so. Just two decades ago, in the summer of 2002, simply asking Kamloops council to proclaim Pride Week was an arduous journey for the 2SLGBTQPIA+ community. That year, mayor and council were presented with a 300-name petition opposing any such proc lamation, with those against Pride Week citing city endorsement of “an immoral sexual behaviour.”

Well, I should hope so. God forbid someone with a sexual prefer ence that differs from someone else be accepted.I’vealways been bewildered by those who view same-sex relation ships with abhorrence. I have always viewed sexual preference as no greater a deal than whether one likes vegetables.Ifitisridiculous to base accep tance on whether one eats their broccoli, is it not equally preposter ous to base acceptance on whether one shares a bed with someone of the same sex? In either case, the preference has absolutely no effect on those who are so consternated.Thereisaphoto that ran in last week’s edition of KTW, on the pages previewing this week’s Pride Week events. It is the photo at the top of thisIncolumn.it,aPride Parade participant is holding a sign with a message that is as clear as any. A person may be gay — or, for that matter, straight, or trans, or gender-fluid, or asexual, or anything — but they are a person. The idea is that there are no gay people; there are people who hap pen to be gay, among many other attributes. It doesn’t need to define a person, but if a person wishes to be defined by their sexuality, who cares? For the record, I love broccoli.

Editor: Earlier this summer, I received a letter and phone call from my family doctor, who told me she will no lon ger be a general practitioner. I was devastated to be losing such a kind, caring human being as my physi cian. She informed me that the hours required to earn a modest income as a GP were all-consuming and left little time for personal fam ily life. After much thought, she has chosen to work in a more specialized field. After doing some research, I discovered that, under the current fee-forservice model used to com pensate family physicians, they are receiving $30 per patient, per visit. With this revenue, the general physician must pay staff, which includes receptionists, a registered or practical nurse, computer technologists, cleaning staff, etc.The GP must also pay rental for office space and purchase the necessary equipment to run the prac tice.After having done the math, it is my under standing that each family practitioner is paid about $240,000 annually and, with overhead expenses of about 40 per cent, the end result is about $144,000 before pro vincial and federal income taxes are applied, leav ing a net income of about $104,000.

THEIR HELP IS APPRECIATED

Editor: One of the recent highlights for me in retired life was accompanying Buddy when we attended the Seniors Picnic in Riverside Park. He was one of several dogs invited to attend, along with a human companion. A handsome young city employee wanted to have his picture taken with Buddy. As can be seen in the accompanying photo, they sure make an adorable pair. The suggestion was made that Buddy should consider making a run for mayor in the Oct. 15 civic election, but I just don’t know how that would look. He has no financial assets to disclose and he can be somewhat protective of those he loves, but we can chalk that up to genetics andHisinstinct.platform might read along these lines: • all city employees would have access by appointment for visitations as needed for comfort and reassurance; • playtime for mayor and council with Frisbee or sponge ball instead of sitting for hours through boring, closed-door meetings; • personalized lunch boxes provided for councillors. Those lunch boxes would have an attractive city logo, with a photo of their favourite mayor; • rewards given for good behaviour. For the time being, Buddy has not made up his mind about making a four-year com mitment of being the ambassador for our community.There’sstill some time.

As Buddy considers a mayoral run, he is busy meeting voters at events.

A ministerial investigation is a move Caputo, who is the Opposition critic for Veterans Affairs, requested of the ministry in an Aug. 17 letter. In his letter, Caputo said Veterans Affairs is not mandated to recommend medical assistance in dying. “It was only after multiple complaints from the veteran that an apology was offered for this deeply harmful act,” the MP’s letter reads. Caputo said an investigation from the ministry must be opened to determine the full scope of the incident and to determine whether the suggestion has been made to otherMedicallyveterans.assisted suicide became legal in Canada in 2016. In 2021, legislation was updat ed so that the law no longer requires a person’s natural death to be reasonably foreseeable as an eligibility criterion. In 2023, another change will permit people with mental disorders to request medical assistance in dying.

Kamloops MP wants broad investigation of Veteran Affairs

Kamloops’ member of Parliament said an investigation into a Veterans Affairs Canada worker suggesting medically assisted suicide to a former soldier must be broad enough to answer all remaining questions. On Aug. 16, Global News reported that the Canadian Forces veteran, who the news out let is not naming, sought treatment from the federal body for post-traumatic stress disorder and a brain injury and was shocked when the employee, unprompted, suggested medical assistance in dying. Veterans Affairs confirmed to Global the conversation took place and said it was look ing into the incident, while Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay said he was directing his deputy minister to launch a thor ough investigation into the case. He also said that all frontline Veterans Affairs staff will now be given training on how to address medical assistance in dying Kamloops-Thompson-Caribooissues.

MP (Conservative) Frank Caputo said that while he applauds the minister for undertaking an investigation, the scope of that investigation remains unclear.

As of Wednesday, the labour action is in its 10th day. The BCGEU represents more than 85,000 members in various public and private sec tors across B.C., with those workers belong ing to 550 bargaining units. The labour action involves 33,000 provincial govern ment workers in myriad departments — from liquor and cannabis store employees to correctional workers to child protection staff to forest firefighters. The most recent collective agreement between the union and government expired on April 1. The provincial government has present ed an offer to the BCGEU of wage hikes of about 11 per cent over three years, in addi tion to a $2,500 signing bonus per employee.

“At this point, we don’t know whether MAiD (medical assistance in dying) was offered to only this veteran or many other veterans,” Caputo said. “We also don’t know whether a veteran who was vulnerable may have taken the offer that was provided by a case worker, acting clearly outside of Veterans Affairs Canada’s mandate.” Caputo added that when a veteran in their most vulnerable state needs to be treated with the upmost respect and dignity they deserve as a person willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

While the BC General Union and the provincial government agreed on Tuesday to return to the bargaining table, job action continue.

Invideo posted to social media, one of the customers who helped nab the suspect can be seen talking to the suspect as he is led away by Mounties. As he is being led away in handcuffs, the suspect turns toward the customer who appre hended him.

Garand, the former Blazers’ net minder who is expected to play next season in the New York Rangers’ organization, had an outstanding world juniors, posting a 6-0 record and .925 save percentage.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ogan Stankoven and Dylan Garand were busy catching up on text messages and media requests on Monday (Aug. 22), both still riding high after winning gold for Canada on Saturday at the 2022 World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton.“It’sbeenunbelievable, going from playing in the gold medal game and the atmosphere and the fans and just how loud it was and the crazy sequence there in overtime to win the gold medal on home soil,” said Stankoven, the 19-year-old forward from“It’sKamloops.suchagreat feeling and experience for myself, Dylan and the rest of our team. It’s been a crazy last couple days and something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” Stankoven, who will toil for his hometown Blazers next season, racked up four goals and 10 points to finish third in team scoring and tied for fourth in tournament scoring — and he saved a magic moment for the Golden Goal. The toe-drag assist on Kent Johnson’s overtime winner in a 3-2 win over Finland will be seen on highlight reels for decades to come, in part because it followed one of the most improbable saves in tourna ment“I’vehistory.seen it a few times now,” Stankoven said. “It’s one of those things you dream of, just being a part of that moment. For [forward Mason] McTavish to knock that puck out of mid-air and off the goal line and for us to come back down and score … the building just erupted. It’s something I wish I could go back to in time and kind of experience that feeling again of Kent putting that puck in the net. The celebration was justGarand,unbelievable.”the20-year-old goalten der from Victoria, said McTavish’s goal-line heroics might just consti tute the greatest save in world juniors history.“Itwas crazy,” said Garand, who was in the backup role when Canada won silver at the 2021 world juniors. “It was kind of like a pass. I think it went off a guy’s skate and up and over me and I just remember watch ing the puck go by me. I turn around and I see McTavish scraping it off the goal“Afterline. the game, I was on Twitter. I didn’t realize he actually batted it out of mid-air. What a save. I’ve honestly never seen a better save in a better moment, in the gold medal game in overtime. It will definitely, in my opinion, go down as probably the save of the tournament’s history.”

1) ESG Consideration &Integration: focus on ESG scoring, removes laggards and focuses on leaders or best-in-class; however,may still hold controversial investments. For example, we found an ESG branded strategy that held casinos and alcohol companies. The rationale is that the fund is 25% more ESG friendly than an unscreened index. Sometimes this phenomenon is referred to "greenwashing" which we believe can mislead investors.

2. Decide what ESG themes are core to your beliefs. Would you prefer to invest in "better companies" or take amore direct stance on aparticular issue?

“It was just super exciting, first off, but it was super reward ing,” said Sopotyk, who edged the fourth-place finisher by less than two seconds. “I mean, to know what I’ve been through and the hard work I’ve been putting in toward these sports and to see it finally pay off, yeah, it’s amazing. It’s a good feeling.” Parents Lori and Bobby Sopotyk made the trip to Ontario from Saskatchewan. “They haven’t really had the chance to watch me too much in person, so for them to be able to come out to Niagara and cheer me on and to win a medal and see them afterward was pretty special,” Sopotyk said. “I just gave them a hug. They’re proud of me.” In March of 2021, only two months removed from the lifechanging accident near North Battleford, Sask., Sopotyk’s resolve was“I’llevident.bein a wheelchair moving forward, a paraplegic, but that’s not stopping me from anything,” he told KTW He wasn’t kidding around. So, what’s next? “Next, I’ve got two more races here [100m and 400m] and then on Aug. 31 I’m heading to Thailand as part of the Wheelchair Canada basketball under -23 men’s team,” Sopotyk said. “Sports have been a huge thing to help me move forward and move on with life. It’s been awe some.”Sopotyk placed fourth in the 400m and eighth in the 100m.

We believe companies that are more responsible to their employees and environment carry less risk and are more likely to outperform over time. The ESG space is challenging to navigate because there are no universal deﬁnitions, standards and measurements- yet.

We often say to be an investor,you need to believe in abetter future. Nowadays we are seeing companies, institutions, pensions and investors take deliberate action to help leave the world abetter place. For example, in 2021, UBC Investment Management Trust added $110 million to astrategy focused on achieving amore sustainable global economy.TDBank Group itself is one of the North American banks listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index as of March 21, 2022*. Globally there is more than one trillion invested within this space and Canada now has over 100 sustainable funds. We believe this could be amega-trend for years to come. We have spent aconsiderable amount of time researching Responsible, Sustainable &Impact Investing.

3. Recognize that there is no perfect solution but working with an experienced professional knowledgeable in Responsible Investing can help tailor your investments to your preferences and values.

2) ESG Exclusion: Typically aligned to common values and ethics by using negative screens and excluding industries like gambling, tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment, weapons, and in certain cases fossil fuels. Companies failing to meet a minimum ESG score will be rejected. Many pension plans are updating their Investment Policy Statement (IPS) to include this more active approach.

Kyrell Sopotyk’s arms were burning, pulsating pythons work ing at a furious pace. The 20-year-old Team Saskatchewan athlete was in fourth place in the 1,500-metre men’s wheelchair racing event last Wednesday at the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games and needed to find an extra gear on the home stretch to hit the podium.“Forme, it’s just determina tion,” Sopotyk said. “I wanted to get to that finish line. You want to pass that guy. You just kind of push through it. But I was defi nitely gassed at the end.” Sopotyk was paralyzed from the waist down in a snowboard ing accident in January of 2021, a few weeks before the start of his 19-year-old campaign with the Kamloops Blazers. Less than two years later, it was time to reach into reserves — it was time for a comeback within a comeback.“Isawmy chance at the end to pull ahead of the one guy and finish third, so I took that and I gave it everything I had left in the tank,” Sopotyk said. “I left it all out on the track to be able to get that third-place finish.”

Valleyview Overlanders Lions Club was two clubs that merged to become one club. This time, we are dissolving the club and our remaining members are transferring to other Lions Clubs of their choice

Dylan Hooper and the TRU WolfPack will play host to the UBC Thunderbirds on Friday at Hillside Stadium. TRU will play host to the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship in November.

In the 50 years that Valleyview Overlanders Lions Club served the community of Kamloops, they assisted and supported innumerable individuals and organizations. The club’s project areas have included: social service agencies for children, youth, and adults, and families, especially those living in poverty, those who are homeless, or living with ﬁnancial instability, and those who live with mental, intellectual, physical, or developmental disabilities.

“There was definitely a little summer rust,” said Garand, who turned aside 29 shots in the final. “It’s definitely different playing on that stage, too. There’s tons of pressure. You feel that and learn to deal with that throughout the tourna ment.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com JAN LUDVIG GEOFF GRIMWOOD

Geoff Grimwood’s ten ure as head coach of the Kamloops Storm is over after one season. Storm general manager Matt Kolle said Grimwood informed the club last week of his decision not to return for the 2022-2023 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League campaign, stating he would like to be closer to home on Vancouver Island. “Of course, it’s definitely not a great time,” said Kolle, whose club is scheduled to open training camp on Aug. 29 on McArthur Island. “We would certainly rather know months in advance that this type of choice is being made, but you know what, it comes with the ter ritory. We’ve always got to expect the unexpected. We wereJanprepared.”Ludvighas been named head coach of the Storm. KTW has contacted Grimwood for comment. “A lot of times in life and in hockey, it’s circum stantial,” said 60-year-old Ludvig, who played 314 games in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils and became a professional hockey scout after hanging up his skates.

Ludvig, who played 37 games for the 1981-1982 Kamloops Junior Oilers, said he is looking forward to passing on knowledge earned during his career. “I was so fortunate in hockey to work for some unbelievable people,” Ludvig said. “I worked for Lou Lamoriello for 27 years and was lucky enough to win three Stanley Cups with him. My old coach, Tommy McVie, he’s a bit of a legend in Canadian hockey circles. And people like Jacques Lemaire, Larry Robinson … I learned so much and really would like to pass as much as I can onto these youngAndrewplayers.”Fisher, Scott Norman and Steve Gainey are expected to return to the Storm this season as assistant coaches.

Kim continued, “Another reason for Stone’s success is our guardian, a gargoyle, who wards off the evil spirits of beer, namely cheap ingredients, pasteurization and chemical additives.”

Next evening, we entered the Yard House in the historic Gaslamp Quarter, with the goal of verifying its boast of having the largest selec tion of draft beer in the world.

The server, Charlotte, described a range of brews, including classic lagers and obscure ales and stouts served in authentic goblets, pints and half-yard glasses. We settled for a row of tasting glasses filled with attractive fluids of different colours, foaminess and clarity. Sipping contentedly, we felt like we were in an art gallery, for the walls were alive with many attractive paintings. We sampled from the menu, which offered an array of tasty, trendy cuisine. Toasting the Yard House and its unusual keg room, we realized good research isn’t really that difficult — it just requires perseverance.Overthenext few days, we vis ited several more breweries, but on our last day admitted we were simply outnumbered. San Diego definitely is a cham pion of craft beer. We promised to return, perhaps during Beer Week in early November. So much work remains. I want to sample Oi!, a wine-barrel aged English brown ale by Twisted Manzanita Ales & Spirits, a Habenero Sculpin (very hot) IPA at Ballast Point Brewing Company, a Peanut Butter Milk Stout at the Belching Beaver Brewing Co. and much more. It’s good to have challenges.

HANS TAMMEMAGI SPECIAL TO

Irevere the amber fluid and was excited when my dearest, Ally, and I had the opportunity to visit San Diego and see if it really has a claim to be the Craft Beer Capital of North America. The first evening we visited the Draft Restaurant in surfside Mission Beach, where our server, Matteo, waved his arms and said, “Of course, no question that San Diego is tops in beer. We have over 100 breweries, microbreweries and brew pubs in this county. Many are eclectic.”Hethen confronted us with a mind-boggling choice. Draft offered 100 local beers, with 69 served from a long line of taps. But we couldn’t help wonder: With that many taps, how can the servers possibly find the right one? We tested Matteo by order ing Cali Creamin, a vanilla cream ale by Mother Earth Brewing Company, and Devotion Belgian Blonde Ale by Lost Abbey Brewing Company and timed his response. Happily, our requested ales were back in short order — and they were Sportingsuperb.amoustache of foam, Ally smiled, clinked glasses and said, “I don’t usually like ale, but this is great. I can taste why craft beer has become so popular.” We were in heaven, sampling ales, porters, classic lagers andToIPAs.get further insight into the fast-growing beer craze, next day my dearest and I sought out the Stone Brewing Co., which was awarded the accolade All-Time Top Brewery on Planet Earth by Beer Advocate magazine in 2013, and which many credit for leading San Diego’s beer charge. We entered its World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido, just north of the city, where you can sit inside next to the tanks and piping, where the beer is made, or outside in the sunshine and warmth for which this city is famous, surrounded by an immense garden. We decided to further our research on the patio. Over a pint of Stone Pale Ale, its flagship beer, and an Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale, we also tested the kitchen. Ally bit into coconut green curry salmon and mussels, while I tried the chef’s specialty, Portuguese sausage and kale rigatoni. Kim, the server, explained, “A big part of the brewery’s success comes from their own farm, where they grow hops for the beer and food for the restaurant. Everything’s organic.”Happily rubbing my tummy, I asked about the most unusual beer.

Reduction flakes at a quarry site, at Arrowstone Hills. More photos can be seen online at kamloopsthisweek. com, under the Community tab.

he Arrowstone Hills have been used as a source of stone for manufacturing tools by the Secwépemc and Nlaka’pamux for more than 12,000 years. The hills are located northeast of the Cache Creek and north of the Thompson River, between the Bonaparte and Deadman rivers. The Secwépemc have an oral his tory about the transformer, Tlli7sa, and his brothers, who in a fight with Grizzly Bear sisters, shook loose the shards of stone from their spiky fur. Those shards were cast around Arrowstone Hills for subsequent generations to find. Volcanism in this area occurred approximately 56 to 47 million years ago and resulted in the formation of volcanic deposits rich in silicious fragments of a rock type known as dacite.Arrowstone Creek, a major confluence of Cache Creek (the waterway), subsequently dis sected through one of these volcanic deposits, which resulted in pebbles, cobbles and small boulders of dacite being spread over the landscape. Known dacite exposures cover an area measuring approximately 100 square kilometers and could extend evenThefurther.quarry sites within the Arrowstone Hills are unique in that arduous methods of stone removal were not required. Unlike many other prehistoric quarry sites, the material was found on the ground surface or just below it. One of the quarry sites has an astonishing 115 pits where the dacite rocks were mined from the ground. Instead of hauling large rocks off the mountain, stone tool technicians would knapp (chip) pieces off at the quarry site, leaving behind what are referred to as reduction flakes. They would also make rough tool shapes called blanks or preforms, which they could later knapp into more specialized tools or use for trade. At the quarry sites, the ground is covered with thousands of these pieces, in some places as thick as two metres. The Arrowstone Hills material is very good for knapping stone tools. This made the material extremely valuable and, as a result, it was traded Archaeologistsextensively.can learn about trade routes by tracing this material. First, the material must be “finger printed,” which can be done by ana lyzing the mineral and geochemical composition of the rocks at these quarry sites. Figuring out where the stone tools that we find originate allows for a much broader under standing of cultural exchanges. Historically, the source materials of obsidian tools have been easier to identify and have been a focus of previous archaeological research, but now, silicate toolstone datasets are Thisgrowing.isdue to the greater avail ability and portability of equipment used in geochemical analyses and modern ways of sharing knowledge, such as the internet and open source software. Recently, nine projectile points recovered from the YaçkEtEl site, a Coast Salish-Sts’ailes site on the Harrison River, located approximate ly 200 kilometers away, were geo chemically analyzed and attributed to Arrowstone Hills. As more of the stone tool material is correctly identified and geochemi cally analyzed, and as more source locations are “fingerprinted,” this number is going to grow and reveal more information about ancient interaction spheres and trade.

I was fortunate to visit Arrowstone Hills recently with Bert William, a member of Bonaparte First Nation and archaeologist with SNRC. Bert and his brother, JR William, discovered several of the quarry sites while surveying the landscape before it burned in the 2017 Elephant Hill fire. Bert is also a skilledAlthoughknapper.the stone tools Bert knapps are no longer used for hunt ing and processing, it speaks to the culture local Indigenous people are still sourcing dacite at Arrowstone Hills and keeping this tradition alive. Sadly, Bert said he does not see a lot of interest from younger genera tions in carrying out this tradition. It is a skill that takes countless hours of practise to perfect. Maybe as more archaeologists study the “fingerprints” of these materials, this will help foster a greater interest in knapping stone tools. As an archaeologist, learning to knapp provides valuable knowl edge in understanding the manufac turing of stone tools and how sites are Bertformed.has become one of my great est mentors and I am grateful to learn knapping skills from him.

The conquering of our fear W hen devoteea is in theperil,extremefacingdanger of imminent death, he has no other recourse than to pray to God for protection and shelter.Atthis time, the prayer becomes the most sincere and engrossing. The devotee enters into a state of ecstasy because the devotion is so fervent. The devotee has reached a pinnacle of devotional service. Now, contrast the mood of the devotee with the mood or a person with little or no faith in the power and will of God. “Thy will be done.” The non-devout face death with a sense of absolute desolation and absolutely no recourse nor hope for abso lution. Time passes over the most intimate of doorsteps, ready to drag each and every one of us over that threshold, whether we like it or not. Let’s go a little further with this proposition without materializing death for either the devotee or the nondevotee.ByGod’s hand, dumb luck or the arrival of the SWAT team in just the nick of time, both the devotee and the non-devotee walk away without a scratch. The non-believer is trau matized and has nightmares. When he relives the experi ence, the same sense of fear and dread haunt and torment him over and over again in a kind of living hell. The devotee, on the other hand, never has nightmares, nor does he suffer through anxieties when recalling the experience. He does feel a kind of anxiety, but it arises from the separation he feels in relation to God. He recalls the experience with a sense of peace and calm and may actually long for a reoccurrence of the tribulation so he can feel the same acute intimacy over and over again. It inspires and motivates him to perform deeper and fuller service with more sincere devotion. The reciprocation between the devotee and God makes the experience relishable. The devotee retains a sense of longing for the experience, while at the same time develops regret that he sought special favour from God.He comes to realize the protection he asked for is only a paltry request com pared to having the intimate association of that supreme person.Material circumstances attributable to this life are part of our destiny, which, for the most part, we are unable to change or alter. That is to say whatever fortune and securities — as well as whatever misfortune and perils we experience — are allocated to us because of previous activities,consequenceschangeAlthoughactivities.wecannotinevitableofpastGodcan.When he changes our destiny, he does it in a way that increases our attraction for him if we are devotees. This reciprocation is part of his mercy. On the flip side of that blessing, if our desires are aligned in the opposite direction, God will help us cultivate the consciousness necessary for the enjoyment of matter, the enjoyment of thisInworld.thisway, God exhibits both equality and detach ment toward all living enti ties.When we are determined to develop our enjoyment of this world, we develop material senses, but when we desire the association of that supreme person, we develop spiritual senses. So, when, in a time of dis tress, we touch upon his lotus feet, our own spiritual sense of happiness awakens from within the heart. In this way, we experience the feeling of absolute bliss — even at the point of imminent death. In the normal course of our lives, God doesn’t casually take us to the gates of death, but we all constantly face various challenges through which we can experience victory or defeat.Getting to the worksite on time, paying off the vacation to Mexico and finding an available seat at a popular restaurant are all examples of the small successes we can feel in our daily lives. The defeats are getting caught up in rush hour traffic, further accrual of interest on a missed Visa payment or getting turned away at the door for an anniversary or birthday dinner. We show a relationshipunderstandingpoorofourwiththe world and God if we are either elated and celebratory upon victory or remorseful and somber upon defeat. If we are really successful in our spiritual lives, we are indifferent to life’s triumphs and reversals because we understand that, while in this world, our activities are con trolled by the material nature. Everything occurs by God’s sanction. We feel his touch in everything. As spirit souls, we have nothing to do with this world.Our constitutional position lies in the spiritual world. We connect to that spiritual world and, ultimately, to the supreme through devotions and services rendered. As we develop that connection, we stop dancing around the stage of life like marionettes that are having their strings pulled. God enables us to step outside and see ourselves as apart from the doubts and inequities that arise in the course of our life, even up to — and including — the fear of imminent death.

AUGUST 24 - AUGUST 30, 2022 Aries, take a step back and allow people some room to figure things out. Your offers to help are appreciated and will be accepted in due time

It is alright to have some doubts when you are tr ying something new, Leo. Just don’t let those doubts get the better of you and derail your plans

Scorpio, at this point in your life, it is important to go with the flow and learn from others with an easygoing approach. Take time to exhale and unwind

Sagittarius,

Taurus, others appreciate your authenticity. Stay true to yourself and you will have no regrets Encourage others to do the same when they seek your input.

Gemini, this week is a good oppor tunity for some serious introspection. Put yourself in other people’s shoes before you render an opinion.

Virgo, a public gathering in the near future may attract several people, including some you are interested in meeting Take the first step and introduce yourself you have long been practical and sensible with your finances But this week you may be lured by a flashy purchase If it is in the budget, then let loose Be extra patient and affectionate towards all of your loved ones this week, Pisces Someone close to you will need your help

Aquarius, after many months of asking yourself where you want your life to go, this week you finally have a plan of action to put in motion. Enjoy the ride

An impor tant decision is looming, Cancer Take some time to look inward as your tr y to decide the best path to take. Don’t hesitate to seek input from people you trust.

Libra, this week you are likely to feel refreshed and energized. This may pave the way to some new ideas, including a change of scener y or even a new job Clear your mind of cobwebs and any other errant thoughts, Capricorn. Right now you need to relax and unwind for a bit, and you’ll feel better after a few days of recharging 21/Apr

Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years.

And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

Cathy was an avid seamstress, and she loved sewing clothes for her children and nieces too. A few still fondly talk about a certain favourite outfit that Cathy had sewed for them. Later on, she started a new hobby – quilting and this became her new favourite thing to do. She created many beautiful quilts and even had an online presence on Etsy called Grandma’s Quilts Studio and she sold several quilts to places as far as Ontario, Quebec, the U.S. and Australia. She enjoyed reading, crocheting, and knitting and created many beautiful afghans for her family

They were married for almost 31 years. They lived and raised their family at 209 Royal Avenue, Kamloops. Cathy loved this one acre property on the Thompson River and took great pride looking after her gardens and tending to her fruit trees. She was so proud to share a bountiful crop of cherries and plums and made countless jars of jam! In the winter, her Christmas display of lighted figures on the front lawn grew bigger and bigger every year Cathy’s door was always open and friends and family alike knew they were always welcome and that there would be a piece of freshly baked pie or cake and a cup of tea, a home cooked meal, or their favourite beverage would always be available. In 2019, she finally sold her property and moved to the other side of the river which was a little less work for her Cathy worked at Weyerhaeuser for many years and then moved on to be a delivery driver for DHL and she loved working part time for the KXA – organizing the horse races & winter fairs. Cathy was involved with the Kamloops Girl Guides for 18 years and was proud to be Grey Owl and Commissioner and help to guide many young girls who still remember her fondly She was always creative in thinking of different ways to make the activities and trips a fun experience for leaders and girl guides alike. She was a member of the Overlander Women’s Institute for over 40 years and was president for the last several years. Again, she was always thinking of ways to keep her “ladies” active and productive raising money with craft and bake sales and other similar projects. She was also a member of the Kamloops C.W.L for many years and was involved there as well with numerous activities including the Christmas bazaars & making baptismal quilts for all the babies baptized at O.L.P.H.

Cathy loved to travel and in her later years, travelled to visit family in Holland and went on tours to Greece, Italy, Australia and Peru with family and friends.

was born on March 2, 1954 in St. Marys, ON and grew up on a dairy farm near Stratford, ON. She loved helping with the chores - milking the cows and working on her tan during the summer months helping drive the tractor and machines or hefting the endless hay bales onto the wagon. If we couldn’t find Cathy, we found her playing with her favourite cats and kittens. Cathy was never afraid of a challenge and in 1973, she put her name in to run for Perth County Dairy Princess and won. The following year, she ran for Ontario Dairy Princess, and was one of the four runners up. She was an avid 4H member & leader and a member of the Perth County Junior Farmers. In 1974, Cathy moved out, on her own, to Prince George, B.C. to work for her Uncle Ben as his personal assistant at his construction company Cathy met her husband Gordon at an evening of squaredancing and they travelled back to St. Marys, ON to get married on July 23, 1977.

A Celebration of Darcy’s life will be held at a later date. There will be Celebrations in Kamloops, BC and Winnipeg, MB. Darcy will be laid to rest in the family plot at the Prairie Grove Cemetery in Lorett, Manitoba.

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1.

Success is failure turned inside out –The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

Joe and Barb loved to travel and took many trips, including Italy, Greece and Mexico. But his most favourite place was their yearly trip to Hawaii to golf, swim in the ocean and spend countless hours with the good friends they met throughout the years. Another highlight of their travel was to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Another of Don’s loves was his horses. One of his favourite times was early in the morning and starting down the trail on the back of a good horse with his dog at his heels. He stated that he had rode over 100 different horses in his lifetime and was grateful to have had that opportunity Don also loved hockey He especially loved to watch the Blazers play and had season tickets for over 30 years.

Donald James Krause

Don had a passion for collecting “treasures” as anyone who looked behind his shop could attest to. After retirement and with the help from his brother-in-law Jim, he was finally able to restore his 1957 Chevy truck that he owned for most of his adult life.

Joseph Vern Smith

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, August 28, 2022, from 1:00pm-3:00pm at the Knutsford Community Center In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in his name.

A. What’ll they think of next? There’s a company that produces necklaces, pendants, etc. that contains the loved one’s finger print. I must admit that they look nice, they’re not too expensive, and they can be a treasure. As with most things, they aren’t for everyone. Call or drop by to see samples.

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

Grace and Norm were a team – always on the go and busy with some special event or other Norm was of course the ringleader and often volunteering Grace to play the piano. Grace’s talented ear was evident to all who were able to join in the sing-song, but she never felt it was quite good enough. She accompanied her daughters in the school and church concerts, and we are so grateful for the gift of music that filled our home. Grace could play anything anytime.. we would play her a record, and she would quickly go to the piano and show us the notes and chords needed to learn to play the tune!

Grace by attending a school concert or play in your neighbourhood to keep the music playing. St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Kamloops will be the scene of a memorial celebration of Grace on August 27 at 11:00 a.m.

Doug was a talented innovator, woodworker, machinist/welder, and sportsman.

We the family of Grace Isobel Atkinson are saddened that she left life on earth on August 11, 2022. We are joyous to share that her only stay in hospital (since giving birth five times) was during the last month following a fall and broken hip surgery Her daughters were all able to spend many hours with her during this time and she was a grateful patient to all the hard-working staff at RIH who took such good care of her When she had enough, she peacefully left us and rode a glorious moonbeam to Graceheaven.was the eighth child of Lewis and Margaret Handford born on August 6, 1929 and growing up in Creelman, Saskatchewan. She loved reminiscing about small town tough life, with great friends and lots of family ball games. Grace learned to play the piano from her talented Mother Life changed dramatically for the youngest of the family when Lewis passed away, Grace was just 14. With their mother and little brother Wally, Grace and her sister Rose ventured into Regina to quickly grow up into working women helping their mother and learning about paying rent! Grace was proud of the few years she worked in the Revenue Building, and she became involved in the music scene where she eventually met Norman in the operatic society They had been dating for some time when Norm said he was coming over with a surprise. What a surprise… he sported a new brush cut (not the diamond Grace had been anticipating). That could have been the insight to frighten her off, but the romance continued and they were married April 11, 1953.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, August 28, 2022 at 1:00pm at The Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre with snacks and drinks to follow The family asks everyone to wear blue in support of colon cancer awareness.

August 6, 1929 - August 11, 2022

Faith in God and church family life was a big part in the lives of Grace and Norm. Although raised in the United church, Grace did become an Anglican upon her marriage, and the church family became their extended family Church choirs benefitted from the alto Grace, and tenor Norm. Grace led the junior choir for many years when we were growing up. The church congregations soon learned that putting on a musical as often as possible was an important part of church life. From the time we were little until our own little ones could participate, many learned to enjoy the applause. In 1972 Norman decided it was time to leave Regina, Grace tearfully came along. The nine passenger station wagon and tent trailer, followed by the volkswagon were loaded to the top and Kamloops became our home. Grace missed her family and neighbours, but quickly made new friends in the neighbourhood and at St. Paul’s – with four teenagers and eight year old Maureen, it was a very busy household It wasn’t long before Grace saw an ad for the cabin at North Barriere Lake that became our new happy place for wonderful times, hard work and great celebrations. Grace’s 85th birthday at the lake was a special time for all of us, especially grand as Rose was with her and those two sisters were beaming. Five years later, her 90th birthday was just as fun, with Grace enjoying a paddle in the canoe. Grace touched many in her life. She was Auntie Grace to not just her nephews and nieces but dozens of friends from everywhere we lived. There are guest books filled with visitors who knew there was always a meal and a bed – and likely a good card game or sing-song or even better, maybe the Roughriders had a game! There was always room for one more at Grace and Norm’s. Grandchildren were a great addition to the family and all were special to Grace. It even got better when she became GG-Ma to the great-grands!

Grace loved to support many charities (Cancer Society and Parkinsons in particular). You may wish to contribute to your favourite charity in her memory or perhaps you would like to support students wishing to attend the Kamloops Summer School of Music by contributing to the Kamloops Music Collective (bursary fund), Box 983, Kamloops BC V2C 6H1 Wwww.kamloopsmusiccollective.caewouldurgeyoutocelebrate

Doug passed away at RIH on August 20, 2022. He is survived by his daughter Loree Holmes, and sister Carol (Ron) Mickel. Doug started his working career as a teenager in Vernon, building apple boxes in a local packing plant, and running a large paper route. After graduating high school, he moved to UBC to study engineering. He enjoyed the parties, but decided to pursue other endeavours, which found him aboard oil exploration ships in the Arctic, owner of Kamloops Iron Craft, draughtsman designer for Foundex in Vancouver, and a geo tech in Kamloops.

There will be a funeral service being held on Saturday, September 10, 2022, at 1:00 pm at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. This is for anyone who would like to come and show their respects.

Married life for Grace included a new place to live – Norman’s family home which included his mother, Grandma Blanche lived with us the rest of her life. Grace and Norm had the upstairs (the bathroom was downstairs), and they lived there until daughter #4 was expected, and at that time took over the whole house. Life was busy with four little girls, Hallie, Laurie, Kathy and Norma, but to complete the family, Maureen arrived five years later for even more fun.
