A fourth resident said she was watching TV at about 10:45 p.m. when she heard what she thought was someone banging on her back door — a prospect that frightened the Kamloops senior, given the time.“I waited and then I turned all my lights out, but then I looked up a little bit later and there was all the [emergency vehicle] lights up above [my home],” she said.
Police released stock photos of a late 1990s-model Honda Civic, black in colour, similar to the car that was torched in Rayleigh following shootings in Brocklehurst that killed one person and injured a second person. The Aug. 26 shootings occurred along Ord Road, a few metres east of Singh Street, in the area of the Singh Bowl soccer fields.

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW
Foothills Estates mobile home park said they heard five gun shots ring out late Friday night in what they would later learn was Kamloops’ third homicide of the year.Many of those who spoke to KTW following the shooting men tioned having never heard gunfire before, nor has the park experi enced anything like what took place on the street just outside their homes in the 1500-block of Ord Road in Brocklehurst. At about 10:45 p.m. that night, officers responded to a 9-1-1 call along Ord Road a few metres east of Singh Street in Brocklehurst — in the area of the Singh Bowl soc cer There,fields. police found two men had been shot while inside a red Toyota Matrix. The driver of the vehicle was pronounced dead shortly after police arrival, while the second victim was taken to hospital in stable condition. Police say the deceased was well known to them. Several hours later, at about 2 a.m. on Saturday, police were called to a vehicle fire on Frontage Road in Rayleigh and police are now trying to determine whether the fatal shooting and vehicle fire, involving a late 1990s model black Honda Civic, are related. Police had a pullout area off Ord Road between Foothills and the City of Kamloops BMX track cordoned off on Saturday morning. By Sunday morning, police had cleared the scene. Some shards of glass and a piece of police tape were all that remained. One Foothills Estates resident told KTW he was sitting on his deck when, at about 10:45 p.m., he heard a series of five shots.
“I heard three and then two. I heard three rapid fire — bang, bang, bang — and then bang, bang with a space,” the resident said. He said he paused for a second upon hearing the noises and then went inside his home. Asked if he heard any tires squealing, the resident said he only heard the gunshots.Another park resident who lives just off Ord Road said a couple of cars went by his home, but he’s not sure if they stopped. Right after they passed by, he heard what sounded like three or four fire works go off. “It was kinda scary,” said the resident.Athird resident, whose Foothills Estates home backs onto the section of Ord Road near where the shooting took place, said she was lying awake in bed when she heard what sounded like five “whacking” noises that rang out consecutively with “no hesitation.”

The annual campaign raises awareness of overdoses, which are one of the world’s worst public health crises ,and stimulates action and discussion about evidence-based overdose prevention and drug policy.
“This is not just ‘those people.’ It is people in every community that are being affected,” Henry said. “It is so prevalent and we’ve come to realize that it is our family, our community members, our aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters that are being affected across this province.”Moreinformation on the International Overdose Awareness Day can be found online at overdoseday.com.

In April 2016, the provincial government declared the opioid overdose crisis a public health emergency, a declaration that remains in placeSincetoday.then, B.C. has recorded more than 10,000 overdose deaths, with the majority being linked to fentanyl, which was detected in substances involved in 86 per cent of deaths in 2021, compared to five per cent of such deaths in 2012. The province recorded another 146 deaths in June due to illicit drug toxicity, according to the latest report from the BC Coroners Service.

Interior Health said people in the community who need life-threatening emergency care for issues such as chest pains, difficulty breathing and severe bleeding should call 9-1-1. Anyone unsure whether an emergency room visit is warranted can call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or visit HealthLinkBC.ca for nonemergency health information from nurses, dietitians and pharmacists 24 hours a day, seven days per week. The emergency department in Barriere is normally open Mondays to Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The closure is the latest in what has been multiple ER diversions in rural communities surrounding Kamloops in recent months, including Ashcroft, Clearwater, Lillooet and Merritt.Staffing shortages have been cited.
“They just threw a bunch of money to the doctors — what are they doing about the ambulance care?” Stamer asked. “This needs to be thrown back in their lap and let them explain it. We want to hear from the B.C. minister of health regarding plans to get service returned to the smaller communities who are struggling, as we are, with the loss of their ambulance services.”

Baby dies in Barriere while awaiting ambulance
An eight-month-old baby has passed away in Barriere while waiting for an ambulance, devas tating a young family in the North Thompson community about 45 minutes north of Kamloops. When the child went into car diac arrest on the night of Aug. 25, an ambulance was called, but none were available in Barriere. Instead, an ambulance had to be dispatched from Kamloops. However, the baby died before that ambulance arrived. It is not known if the outcome would have been different had an ambulance arrived earlier. BC Emergency Health Services stated the closest avail able ambulance was dispatched to the Barriere call and that it is reviewing the call. For a number of years, Barriere and area was under 24-hour ambulance coverage. That changed last summer when the province revamped the community’s ambulance coverage to become a 24/7 alpha station.Thechange now requires paramedics with a higher level of training than what had previously beenButacceptable.changingthe training requirements has created a prob lem in trying to fill paramedic positions for ambulances. “This is a tragic situation for the family,” Barriere Mayor Ward Stamer said. At this point, I have no way of knowing what actually occurred until I talk to the ambulance service. Right now, it’s specula tion regarding what actually hap pened.”Headded the problem of dealing with the loss of local ambulance service has been hap pening for a long time. “We’re not the only commu nity that’s having this happen,” Stamer said. “I don’t know if the time delay was a contributing factor or not, but we have some significant gaps in our health-care system and now it’s showing what can happen when you have these gaps.“This ongoing problem needs to be addressed now.” Stamer said Barriere is not the only small community dealing with ambulance service issues.

On Jan. 28 of this year, the body of 18-year-old Sa-Hali secondary student Jagraj Dhinsa was found in a parking lot of a business on the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc reserve. He had been killed. Police said a black Honda Civic found 24 kilometres away, near Lafarge, was linked to Dhinsa’s murder, but Mounties have not specified whether that car was also torched.
“We are turning to the public with hope that someone has infor mation related to the movements of that black Honda Civic from the days and hours prior to its discovery in Rayleigh on Saturday morning,” Staff Sgt. Todd Wiebe of the Kamloops RCMP serious crime unit said.
Police seek information on Honda’s movements

LEFT: Kamloops Mounties are asking the public to think back to last week and recall if they saw a late 1990s-model black Honda Civic (like the one in the stock photo) that struck them as being suspicious. Tips can be called in to 250-828-
21, 2017, Red Scorpions gang co-founder Konaam Shirzad was shot and killed as he walked near his Guerin Creek home. Afterwards, a Honda Civic, reported stolen out of Surrey, was was set on fire in Upper Sahali, far from the murder scene. That vehicle is the same car from which the suspects were seen walking in the surveillance video images released by police.
Residents told KTW a large police presence descended upon the section of Ord Road, with one saying police responded about 10 minutes after the shots were fired. While police have said they are trying to determine whether the fatal shooting and vehicle fire are related, the practice of gang mem bers committing murders before torching vehicles — usually stolen — is commonplace in the Lower Mainland gang wars. And it has happened before in Kamloops.OnSept.
Anyone who witnessed or may have information related to the carnage, including security footage, cellphone or dash-cam video that may have captured anything suspicious is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-30179.
Unlike a corporation, a sole proprietorship is not a separate legal entity. As a sole proprietor, you may not be taking advantage of tax benefits which are available to an incorporated entity It may also be time to consider incorporating to limit your personal liability exposure, meaning to limit the risk of being personally sued and putting your own assets at risk.

Jeff Pelley said. “It is very important that any one with information come for ward as soon as possible to help officers determine what transpired and who is responsible.”

The mass movement of climate refugees from poor, hot countries to rich, temperate ones is the polit ical dynamite that could destroy global co-operation on stopping the emissions and the warming.
Everybody who has been pay ing attention knows that, but Gaia Vince has a suggestion for dealing withWhatit. we need, she says, is “a planned and deliberate migration of the kind humanity has never before undertaken,” in which several billion refugees from the worst-hit regions are resettled in the richer, cooler parts of the world.After all, most of the latter countries have falling birth rates and they’ll need someone to look after them when they’re old. And then we have James Crawford’s new book, The Edge of the Plain: How Borders Make and Break Our World He sees the same problem of mass migration and offers an even more radical solution — the aboli tion of borders. Away with the fusty rules of the Westphalian system, in which each state has absolute sov ereignty within fixed frontiers. Crawford likes anything that undermines or dissolves those rigid borders, like the “nation” of Sapmi that sort of unites the Lapps of Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway, or “climate mobility” advocated by Simon Kofe, foreign minister of Tuvalu. Kofe’s tiny island country will be the first to disappear as the sea level rises, but he wants its sover eignty to continue even though all its citizens must live elsewhere. The sovereignty of the coun tries that give homes to Tuvaluans and refugees from other countries would also survive, but shared with the many sovereignties of the newVincearrivals.and Crawford are sincere and intelligent people taking on a genuinely existential problem — how can we co-operate to make it through the climate crisis when the pain and the blame are so unequally shared? Vince writes about having to “shed some of our tribal identities and embrace a pan-species iden tity,” but both authors must know what they are proposing is unreal istic and unlikely. Bits of that transition are already stirring, but it’s hard to believe it can supplant the tradi tional loyalties in the next 30 to 50 years, which is the relevant time frame. There’s also a hidden defeat ism here. Both authors assume the heating will be big and long-lasting enough to force the refugees to move. That’s effectively writing off a lot of the planet as a human abode at least for a long time, if not forever.Vince is well aware of all the partial techno-fixes to the climate crisis that are being discussed or investigated. She does not dismiss geoengineeering out of hand, but she doesn’t see its real potential, either.Holding the temperature down artificially, if it can be made to work safely, is a patch designed to win us time to get our emissions down without a disaster, not a per manent solution to the problem. But the biggest disaster it would forestall is the climate refugee cri sis. If the heating stops not far from where it is now, the refugees never start to move.
Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World and she has certainly grasped the key polit ical problem in a rapidly heating world — some people will be hurt a great deal more than others. It’s mainly a question of dis tance from the equator. Countries in the tropics and the sub-tropics will be experiencing intolerable temperatures — accompanied by monster storms, droughts and floods — well before mid-century, while those in the temperate lati tudes will suffer inconvenience and discomfort, but far less actual damage.Inparticular, they will still have an adequate food supply, while those nearer to the equator will be seeing their agriculture collapse. That’s what will start the refugees moving in their millions — and 70 per cent of the world’s population lives in these vulner able regions. The only places for them to go for safety is to the richer countries farther north or farther south.
Y
ou wait ages for the bus and then three come along at once. Books are a bit like that, too, although in this case it’s only a pair of them, both tackling the question of what to do about all the climate refu gees.The United Nations; International Organization for Migration estimates that 1.5-billion people may be forced to move in the next 30 years. First up is Gaia Vince, a British environmental journalist who has interviewed a great many climate scientists. Her book is Nomad
The refugees will feel entitled to settle in those privileged countries, too, since the rich, industrialized countries are responsible for the great majority of the greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) that have caused theItwarming.isastoundingly unfair that the culprits get off lightly while the innocent are ruined — and the innocent know it.

Editor: The music that comes from events in Kamloops is far too loud and Ribfest was a good example of that.Ilive a fair ways from Riverside Park, yet from my house I’ve been able to hear the bass and even people talking on a microphone. I don’t know why things can’t be enjoyed with music that is at a reasonable level. This has also happened with previous events and I was told by a community services officer that since it’s a city event, they can’t do anything about it and I’ll need to contact the city. The city said it would consider my “request,’” but if something is done, it’s only temporary. My neighbours aren’t allowed to blast bass, noise or use live instruments (unless there is soundproofing), so why is the city exempt?Whyare live events not done indoors, where noise would be lower? Or, at the bare minimum, why not just lower bass levels?

Editor: Cyclists and pedestrians need to share the road and often share side walks and trails. Recent editions of KTW have included letters about cyclists and pedestrian etiquette. The letters were powerful, but will do little to solve the problem. This is a big problem that will be legislated to the dissatisfaction of most if we do not deal with it by common sense and education. We need to consider cyclists and pedestrians, but also toddlers playing on trails, dogs on too-long leashes, the hearing, mobility and sight impaired and, yes, those wea ingWeearbuds.must also deal with inconsid erate and rude cyclists. Most would share the space if they were aware of theThisproblem.requires the weight of gov ernment to initiate a life-saving campaign to educate the public, specifically drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.Isubmitted my paper on the sub ject to ICBC and suggested it is the appropriate subsidiary of govern ment to take the lead. The Motor Vehicle Act governs some aspects of cycling. ICBC responds that it has no responsibility for the Act. Is ICBC not the most influential in motor ing safety, the catalyst in legislative change?Iinvite readers to add their names and opinions in support of this issue. I will send those interested a copy of the paper I submitted to ICBC. Write me at stevehbarnes@ gmail.com

The recent block party was a perfect example of extreme, unnecessary bass that would have resulted in police showing up if it was ran by anyone other than the city.I wonder why no mind is paid to people who live nearby, those who have to put up with unfair noise from city-hosted events — especially when most of those events run until late at night.

“I fear they will push families into home lessness, worsening many of the social crises we’re already experiencing,” he said. Ritcey is looking to keep housing afford able across the board, noting he favours a housing-first response to homelessness.
Although he initially considered volun teering for other council candidates, Ritcey ultimately set his sights on a council seat for himself.“After closely watching decisions the current council has made over the past four years, I believe that some perspectives are being missed. Some voices aren’t being heard,” he said in front of friends, volunteers and media at his campaign launch. One of those missing voices is that of a renter like himself Ritcey said.

Ritcey said crime will need to be addressed, but argued the approach should be thoughtful and informed by social sci ence.Having followed council by reading agen das and attending public hearings, council meetings and committee meetings, Ritcey said he is already familiar with how the system works and the limitations of his role, should he be elected.

“Traditionally, we’ve elected property owners, some people with multiple proper ties. I believe this is one of the reasons why the importance of sufficient affordable hous ing stock and the cost of rent don’t get talked about enough,” he said. Ritcey took issue with the 10-year tax exemption issued by the city to redevelop hotels and motels along Columbia Street and with the city’s purchase and subsequent emptying of the Northbridge Hotel, which Ritcey called a renoviction. He said those moves did not adequately consider the importance of maintaining affordable housing.

On crime, social issues and safety, Ritcey acknowledged that anger is boiling over for some in the community. But, he added, being angry is not a solution.

King said she volunteers her time, working with street people and seniors, and with her husband operates a mobile repair business serving the agricultural industry throughout the Interior.King said it made sense to share costs between the three candidates for advertising and she believes teaming up shows the public the trio is serious when it comes to fiscal responsibility. The cost of advertisements currently seen on BC Transit buses in Kamloops, for example, was split three ways. “There’s not really a better way to show fiscal responsibility than starting right out of the gate, right?” King said. “And it really reduces the costs, holy smokes.”

Dennis Giesbrecht, Caroline King and Darpan Sharma have launched joint campaign advertising and will soon release a platform on which they intend to vote together, should they be elected in the Oct. 15 municipal election.Thetrio is not registering as an offi cial political party with Elections BC, but instead will remain primarily inde pendent. Giesbrecht said the candidates would not vote together on every issue. “We have some pretty vigorous dis cussions already on things that we see a little differently,” he said, adding a half-dozen “common sense ideas” they think the city needs would be jointly voted it’s not a coalition. It’s every person for themselves and they absolutely have to vote with their con science.”

Sharma — a 41-year-old rental prop erty owner who has never run for poli tics — has worked behind the scenes for the Conservative Party of Canada and has helped on campaigns for former MP Cathy McLeod, as well as Giesbrecht’s previous council campaign. Sharma said the trio shares desire to see increased accountability, fiscal responsibility, ethics and transparency at city hall. Although their platform will not be released until early September, street issues, city hall spending and in-camera meetings were cited as concerns.Sharma said the three candidates are also vowing to serve on council for a maximum of two terms. He said he has had bad experiences with incumbents who have served for too long and criti cized what he called “career politicians” at the municipal level. “Maybe a second term, but that’s it,” he said. “Then we want to move on with ourKing,life.”

Walsh said he believes councillors should serve two or three terms, then move on to run for mayor or another level of gov ernment.“I’vealways believed that, so it’s been a struggle for me because I thought about staying,” he said. Walsh said he had gone back and forth in the past year on whether to seek re-election, deciding to wait until the end of summer before announcing his decision.
Walsh further told council on Tuesday the past term has been challenging and he has felt less fulfilled from the work of late.

A veteran Kamloops councillor has made up his mind and said he will not be running in the upcoming civic election. Coun. Denis Walsh announced on Tuesday during council’s regular meeting his intention to step down from council after three terms. The municipal election is on Oct. 15. “It’s been an honour to serve Kamloops residents for these three terms, but it’s time for me to step aside,” Walsh told KTW Walsh was first elected in 2008. He said he grappled with the decision because he is concerned there could be a lack of experi ence on council and his personal belief that civic politics should not be a career.
There will be a new mayor — with Mayor Ken Christian not running again — and at least five new councillors after the Oct. 15 vote, with incumbent councillors Dieter Dudy, Sadie Hunter and Arjun Singh run ning for mayor and councillors Walsh and Kathy Sinclair opting not to seek re-election.
In May of 2021, Walsh told KTW a coun cil decision to allow recreational rentals in Riverside Park prompted him to consider seeking another term. In addition to his goal of protecting the downtown park, Walsh has been outspoken on issues includ ing the proposed Ajax mine and vaccine mandates.Walshhas been involved in various business ventures and boards in the city throughout his many years in Kamloops. not

head to the polls on Oct. 15 to elect their next mayor, eight councillors and five school trustees. This year, they will only have to be residents of Kamloops for a single day in order to vote as provincial legislation has been updated, removing the 30-day residency requirement.“Ifyoushow up and you have a tenancy agreement saying as of Oct. 15, I’m renting in the City of Kamloops, you qualify as a resident,” city legislative services supervisor Amanda Passmore told council on Tuesday (Aug. 16). Electors, however, must still have been residents of B.C. for at least six months to vote, while a 30-day timeline still applies for non-resident property electors, Passmore said. Also new in the legislation is that it per mits all eligible voters to choose mail-in ballot voting. In past years, mail-in ballot eligibility was limited to people who were unable to attend a voting place in-person.
Registration for mail-in ballots begins at 9 a.m. on Sept. 6. After Oct. 2, any requests for mail-in ballots will only be available at city hall due to time restraints. “If you don’t like coming to populated places … or none of the advance dates or general voting day work for you or the poll ing places, by all means, we’re happy to have you vote by mail,” Passmore said. As for this year’s polling stations, two new locations have been added.
The city usually only operates one advance polling station for three days: Heritage House, downtown in Riverside Park. Another one has been added for this fall’s election, on the North Shore at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.
Nomination packages can also be picked up during regular office hours from the fourth floor of the TNRD Civic Building, downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue.Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding statutory holidays. Directors on the TNRD board are elected by voters in areas outside of Kamloops.

He is also barred from contacting or com municating with a number of indi viduals and must not attend the Dufferin address outside of which Abdullah’s body was discovered in March.The March release order includ ed conditions barring Bagabuyo from attending his Columbia Street residence and his Victoria Street law practice, locations where police could be seen attending over the course of three weeks this past spring.Acopy of the release order dated April 14 does not include those con ditions.According to Abdullah’s daughter, Sarah Jeet Lalata-Buco, 26, Bagabuyo was her father’s lawyer, as well as a trusted friend and confidant. Police believe Abdullah was mur dered, but have yet to charge anyone with that Kamloopscrime.RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky told a city council committee in June that it will take time to complete the investigation.“Youcanexpect to see this in the not only months, but years to follow,” LeckyHesaid.described the investiga tion into the death of Abdullah as “labour-intensive,” “very complex” and “unprecedented,” given that a practising lawyer has been charged in connection with the death. Lecky said that because the investigation involves a practising lawyer, the Law Society of B.C. and the courts have to give it particular scrutiny.Because police would have access to a variety of sensitive information when searching crime scenes and/or potential crime scenes, including perhaps a law office, a judicial referee was hired to oversee that process and review the material police would be looking at to determine it if is relevant to the investigation.Policeconfirmed Abdullah was found deceased in a vehicle parked outside 1649 Monterey Pl., where they attended after receiving a suspi cious death report on March 17.

His case came to the attention of the University of B.C.’s Innocence Project, which handles claims of wrongful conviction, and eventually resulted in an application to the Justice Department for a review in 2017.In December 2020, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ordered that Klassen, then 60 years old, be released on bail, pending the review. In a news release, the justice department said that before deciding to order a new trial or appeal, the minister must be satisfied there is a reasonable basis to conclude that a miscarriage of justice occurred.
The review involved close examination of informa tion initially submitted in support of the application, followed by an in-depth investigation.Theminister’s deci sion came as a result of the identification of new infor mation that was not before the courts at the time of Klassen’s trial or appeal, the news release states. “It is not a decision about the guilt or innocence of the applicant, but rather a decision to return the mat ter to the courts where the relevant legal issues may be determined according to law,” the release states. At the time of Klassen’s release on bail, court heard that the focus of his appli cation was new forensic reports that cast doubt on the findings of the patholo gist who testified at trial. The reports found that the pathologist’s evidence was flawed and might repre sent a miscarriage of justice. Tamara Levy, co-founder of the Innocence Project, said the Crown must decide whether it is going to seek a new trial for Klassen.

Klassen will be able to move to Kamloops
“I think it would be highly unlikely, but they have that option,” she said. “He’s already spent 26 years in prison. There is no longer a substantial likelihood of conviction with the new evidence and it just doesn’t seem in the public interest.”
The trial heard that the victim, McLeod, was last seen alive in Klassen’s vehicle on the evening of Dec. 15, 1993, when the pair obtained beer from a clan destine supplier.
The Crown’s theory was that after they drove to the Nicola Lake recreation area near Merritt in Klassen’s vehicle, he sexually assault ed and murdered her. Klassen testified that they had been drinking and had consensual sex before engaging in a confrontation. He said he pushed McLeod and she fell to the ground and hit her head, adding he left her and drove home. Klassen denied commit ting murder, but the jury rejected his evidence. — with files from the Vancouver Sun

A Merritt man who spent 26 years in prison for a murder conviction that was reviewed by federal Justice Department will be allowed to move to the Kamloops area, a B.C. Supreme court judge has ruled. Justice Joel Groves has varied the bail conditions for Gerald Bernard Klassen, who intends to move to Kamloops from his current residence in Mission. Klassen’s application for the variance lifted condi tions that he remain in the Fraser Valley community and was made with the con sent of Crown, which has yet to release a decision on whether it will seek a retrial.Earlier this year, fed eral Justice Minister David Lametti concluded that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred and has ordered a new trial for Klassen. The decision came after a lengthy review by the federal Justice Department into the case against Klassen, who in 1995 was found guilty by a B.C. Supreme Court jury of the 1993 first-degree murder of Julie McLeod, 21. Klassen received the mandatory sentence of life in prison with no parole eligibility for 25 years. He appealed his conviction, but the appeals were rejected.

Derhak is a boilermaker and had been work ing a job in Kamloops with the co-worker when the incident took place.
Guilty plea after robbing store while with toddler
Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet told court the two men had been drinking with some other people in the co-worker’s room and got into an argument that lead to a consensual fight. After being separated, Derhak apolo gized to his co-worker and left.
Jordan Derhak, 53, was issued the sentence by Judge Mariane Armstrong in Kamloops provincial court on Aug. 25 after pleading guilty to assault with a weapon. Court heard the assault took place on Aug. 6, 2021, at the Kamloops Quality Inn on Rogers Way in Aberdeen, where Derhak and his co-worker were staying in separate rooms.
Andrew Miller, 32, of Oliver, was in Kamloops provincial court on Aug. 25, when he entered guilty pleas on charges of robbery and using an imitation firearm for committing an indictable offence, according to court documents. Miller had also been facing charges of uttering threats and willfully obstructing a police offi cer, but no indication of pleas on those counts are present online.
“And shortly thereafter, there was a bang at the door,” Goulet said, adding Derhak ran back into the room and whipped his coworker with a buck knife contained inside a welder’sGouletcap.said the co-worker eventually got Derhak in a choke hold. Police arrived to find Derhak unconscious on the floor and his co-worker bleeding profusely from his head. Derhak was awoken and found to be intoxi cated, Goulet said. Kamloops Mounties responded to the call and arrested Derhak after he was medically cleared. Both men were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Armstrong described Derek’s actions as “shameful,” saying he could have had a moment to let better judgment prevail when the initial fight was broken up. “But it didn’t, you went back,” she said, noting alcohol use doesn’t excuse his actions.
“The man eventually released the child, who ran to a nearby fam ily member,” the release stated.
Conditional discharge for attacking co-worker
The officer had spotted the man and child leaving the gas station property and found them nearby. According to police, the situa tion became “deeply disturbing” when the man allegedly threat ened the police officer and put the child between himself and the offi cer, using them as a human shield.
A Surrey man who pleaded guilty to assaulting a co-worker with a knife wrapped in a hat while they were in Kamloops last year has been handed 18 months of probation.
An Okanagan man accused of robbing a Westsyde gas station with his three-year-old toddler alongside him, and using the child as a human shield during an encounter with police, has pleaded guilty to a number of charges.
“After a brief struggle, the man was taken into custody and found to be in possession of a replica firearm.”
“Our society has become, it just seems, so trig gered and people responding to things com pletely out of Armstrong’sproportion.”18-month conditional dis charge sentence came with a number of con ditions with which Derhak must abide.

You may have seen Sam Thacker’s face appearing more and more around the community. This is no coincidence; Sam has hit the ground running at Dearborn Ford earning top salesperson several times since he’s started, including back-to-back salesperson of the month for June and July this year. Born and raised in Kamloops, Sam embodies the Kamloops spirit, supporting and being a positive part of the community. This started at a young age, as he played a wide range of sports in town such as football, hockey, baseball, and rugby. Being part of a team gave Sam the foundation on how to work in a group environment and understand the value of every member and what their role is to help create the success of the club. These values have helped Sam become the person he is today. These are lessons that he has not forgotten. Sam spends much of his time giving back to the people and community who helped him become who he is today. This list includes the SKSS football team, Jesse Faubert, and coach JP Speaking with Sam, he references his creed that helps him be the person he is: “Do more for the world than the world does for you.” There is a resilient focus to help the next generation of driven people—something that Sam feels passionate about. This includes taking the initiative to sponsor both the Kamloops Blazers and the Kamloops Storm for the 22/23 seasons
Forest projects across B.C., including near Kamloops, are helping in the effort to mitigate the impacts of climate change through reducing greenhouse gases and carbon emissions, accord ing to the latest report from the Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC).Since2017, the organization — an agent of the provincial govern ment — has distributed funds for 134 projects intended to reduce green house gas and carbon emissions. Approximately 10 projects are in close proximity to Kamloops, including funding transportation of wood fibre that would otherwise have been burned in slash piles, for est fertilization projects and more.
Instead, slash piles at some sites have been rerouted and used to produce electricity, including at the Kruger pulp mill in Kamloops, where the waste from Clearwater and Adams Lake is converted into heat energy and electricity, which is used at the mill or fed back into the powerKozukigrid.said when incinerated at higher temperatures, dirty byprod ucts other than carbon dioxide are largely“Obviously,eliminated.that’s still a green house gas, but we’re avoiding those other potent greenhouse gases that are present in open burning,” he said.FESBC has spent approximately $150 million on carbon and green house gas projects in B.C.

FESBC executive director Steve Kozuki said the projects are part of Canada’s commitment to meeting the Paris Agreement, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emis sions and limit global temperature increases to 2 C. Kozuki noted three ways in which the projects are aiding in climate change, including planting trees that otherwise wouldn’t have been planted, fertilizing trees and avoiding carbon/greenhouse gas emissions.Whilelogging companies are required to plant trees following cutting, he said those trees don’t count against action toward mitigat ing climate change, noting any treeplanting projects are “above and beyond” the replacement trees. Fertilization projects are rare in the Interior, Kozuki said, but noted one project located between Adams Lake and Barriere in the Lower North Thompson area. One way in which carbon emis sions and greenhouse gases are avoided are by rerouting slash piles that would normally be burned openly in the forest. Kozuki said these slow-burning piles are partic ularly “dirty” in how they burn and do nothing other than eliminate the unused organic matter.

Blood
Air ambulance paramedics in the Interior now have full-time access to blood products from Royal Inland Hospital, which should lead to patients in need of life-saving blood transfusions getting faster care. A new partnership between Interior Health and BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) means that blood prod ucts will always be available on the BCEHS ambulance helicop ter in Kamloops. If needed, emergency re-sup ply of blood products for the air ambulance is also be available from Kelowna General Hospital, as trauma patients are often transferred to the Okanagan hospital. Pre-hospital blood was previ ously only available to criticalcare paramedics dispatched from Vancouver and Parksville on Vancouver Island. “It is going to be a gamechanger for the people we serve,” said Brian Reichert , critical care paramedic and acting chief of Station 370. “We cover a large area with a lot of boat traffic, ATVs, motor cycles and other vehicles on our highways. For us to have a blood product for someone who has suffered an incident will buy us the time we need to get them to hospital and into surgery to get the help they need.” Reichert noted traumatic injuries account for most cases in which blood transfusions are needed, but added there are also some medical conditions that can result in significant blood loss.Critical-care paramedics have already used blood on board the air ambulance in responding to at least one motor vehicle crash in the Interior this summer. The blood is prepared by Transfusion Medical Services at RIH. It is couriered to the station and stored in a special fridge. When the helicopter is called out, the blood is carried on board in a special temperaturecontrolled, secure cooler, in case it isTwiceneeded.aweek, the station is re-supplied with two fresh units of blood.Iftheblood is unused, Reuchert said, it is returned to the hospital to prevent wastage.

The Kamloops Flying Club has marked its 50th anniversary, celebrating the occasion with current and former members, including some who were there at the time it all started. The club was started in 1972 with a distinction not many flying clubs had at the time — it pledged never to own an aircraft. Whereas other clubs purchased an aircraft for members to use, the Kamloops Flying Club endeavoured to be a social club for the purposes of furthering aviation.Allan McNeely, 89, joined the club about a year after it formed, and recalled that attempts to get a flying club off the ground in past had“Mostfailed.flying

clubs own aircraft and have instructors, but the deci sion was made because of the fail ures of previous clubs,” McNeely told KTW ahead of the club’s 50th anniversary celebration at its club house on Saturday (Aug. 27). McNeely said that approach to the club meant that it could sur vive the ups and downs it has seen over the years, without the finan cial pressures of maintaining an aircraft and paying an instructor.
The club maintained about 100 members throughout the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s, McNeely said, and week ends where seven to 10 aircraft would fly to a particular destina tion were common. But in the ‘90s, the club reached a low point, having dwin dled to just 14 members. McNeely said it was a sign of those times, with costs increas ing and clubs of all kinds closing across the “Insurancecountry.costs went sky-high for aircraft, so a lot of people just sold, got rid of their birds and quit flying,” he said. But without aircraft maintenance pressures and staff costs, the club was able to survive, and in the years since has returned to a healthier membership of 40 pilots, former pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Its members own planes like single-engine Cessnas and Pipers, mostly four- or two-seaters, McNeely said. Club president McNeely is also the club’s oldest member. He still flies about once a month, he said, renting aircraft time from the flyingTheschool.club’s youngest member is about 25, McNeely said, noting membership is open to anyone interested in furthering aviation in general.“Most of the newer members have been flying for awhile and have moved to Kamloops and joined the club, or those who recently got their licenses,” he said.

“Sometimes, players are look ing for a different opportunity. Sometimes, things aren’t a per fect fit,” Blazers’ general manager Shaun Clouston told KTW “This is a scenario where both teams are able to give their players an opportunity with another team.” The first-round pick the Blazers picked up in the deal will be bumped to 2026 if Red Deer is part of the draft lottery in the 2025 prospects draft. Clouston was asked if Lindgren became intent on a trade after he was taken in Round 4 (107th overall by the Buffalo Sabres) in the NHL Draft in July in “ThereMontreal.werediscussions after the draft, but again, the most important thing is we just kind of move forward and wish Matsy all the best and look forward to working with Kyle,” Clouston said.“The player [Masters] is a year older. It works really well with our age group and where we’re at with the cycle and the Memorial Cup.”
Lindgren traded It appears Mats Lindgren was no longer content to toil for the Kamloops Blazers. The Blazers on Monday (Aug. 29) traded 2004-born defence man Lindgren to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for 2003born rearguard Kyle Masters and a conditional first-round pick in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft.

In the bottom photo, Logan Hrapchack forces an incompletion against the Langley Rams earlier this month at Hillside, knocking the ball from the grasp of receiver Beckham Dickie.
Each of the rink’s members are older than 70. The team posted a perfect record on route to gold.

SPORTS Did Lindgren’s camp provide any other reasons for wanting the trade? “Not exactly,” Clouston said. “They really didn’t. Sometimes, people think it’s time for a change. We were able to work something out.”Masters, from Edmonton, was taken in the fourth round of the 2021 NHL Draft by the Minnesota Wild. He has five goals and 27 points in 109 WHL games. The right-shot blue-liner stands 5-foot-11, weighs 172 pounds and was picked 16th overall by the Rebels in the 2018 prospects draft. Lindgren, a 6-foot, 176pound left shot from North Vancouver, recorded six goals and 54 points in 94 games with the Blazers, who picked him seventh overall in the 2019 prospects draft. Clouston said it took time to find a trading part ner and noted the impor tance of acquiring the first round-pick.“Therehave been con versations with different teams,” Clouston said. “This just came together kind of in the last few days. Both teams are happy. It’s a good hockey“Nowdeal.we’ve got a couple of firsts in 2023 and couple of firsts in 2025. It’s a nice place to be when you look forward and anticipate possibly having to make another move or two.”

She had many partners and made many friends over the years: Bev, Manju, Kathy, Brenda, Helen, Wendy, and so many more. Her favourite vacation was to go to Penticton in June for the annual bridge competition there. The rest of the family passed the time on the golf course or at the beach. The high-light of her week was the potluck dinner for the entire Kamloops bridge Anothergroup.favourite event was her annual New Year ’s bridge evening at her home. She rang in the New Year doing what she loved best with as many of her friends as she could fit into the house. Audrey was an incredible wife, mother and friend and she will be missed greatly She will be remembered for her kind-heartedness – she was a volunteer at Overlander Extended Care. She also had a wonderful sense of humour – she loved dressing up on Halloween and ‘surprising’ both friends and family She was always there when you needed her Her children would like to thank all the doctors, nurses, care aides, and others at both Active Care Senior Services, and at Ridgeview Lodge, who took such good care of Audrey in her later years.

Maxine was an equally devoted and loving wife and mother, never giving less than 100% in caring for her family and maintaining the household while working full-time, making it look easy in an era when it was anything but. She loved music, playing piano, and dancing. She was known for her impeccable style, her endless smile, and bright blue eyes.
Mom loved music. Always looking to improve her piano playing skills or sing in a choir, she loved to be engaged by her music. Her house was always brimming with articles stuffed into old binders (from her time at P H &N) covering classical music, gardening, sewing and every other crafty, artistic or hobby idea there was – never ending clippings and copious notes.
She carved out her little blue house, complete with her beautiful gardens, among the not always so pleasant Riley Park neighbourhood. That house became a haven for Les and his friends. Mrs. C. was always ready to feed the boys or turn a blind eye to the beer on ice they would enjoy in the fishpond on a Saturday afternoon now and then. Her brother Ron gave her a great deal of help during the early years of home ownership. He and Weis, and the cousins, were a big part of her life. With their help, and friendships like those of “Marg and Arnie”, she figured out how to make life Herwork.home also welcomed many cats and several dogs. “Katie-bell” loved her animals and also loved to paint them, that is of course when she wasn’t painting the gardens, ocean scenes (Galiano Island with Edith and Elsie) or the blue house itself.

Between 1965 and 1967 they followed job opportunities to Kamloops, Coquitlam, and New Westminster, before settling in Vernon, BC in 1967. For the next 31 years, Nan taught primary grade classes in Vernon at the Beairsto and Hillview Elementary schools.
After a teaching career spanning 41 years, Nan began her richly deserved retirement in 1998. Ewald passed away in 2003 and Nan moved to Kamloops in 2012 with her beloved dogs, Cory and Gus, to be closer to family Her retirement was filled with travel, learning new things, and even teaching dog agility classes (once a teacher, always a teacher!).
When Tony was 15, he left home and found a job in the forestry industry, working in Prince George, Tete Jaune Cache, McBride, and Mica Mountain (which was his favourite). After a logging accident in 1956, he returned to Kamloops and started working in the transport industry as a driver for Chapman’s Transport. It was here he met his wife Kay, and on October 11, 1958, they married and raised a family He continued working in the transport business until he retired in 1986. In his spare time, Tony enjoyed target shooting, hunting, fishing, being outdoors, bowling, and watching sports, especially baseball. After he retired, Tony worked in the cattle ranching business until his death on August 21, 2022 at the age of 91. Tony was sharp and kept his sense of humour until the end, and will be dearly missed.
Bob was predeceased by his sister Jean (2021), and is survived by his loving wife Fay, his children Lindsey (Lorrae) and Rob (Mary), and grandchildren Max (Abby), Madison, Jordan and Luke.
Tony was born on March 5, 1931 in Highridge, Alberta. He moved with his family to Brocklehurst in 1937 where they had a 12-acre farm, growing vegetables and cultivating fruit. The original home is still standing on Schreiner Street.
Kay moved to Kamloops in 2000 and after a stint in an executive house found another small “blue house” to make her cottage. She spent the last 17 years rebuilding that house into her haven. The expansive gardens and dry creek beds, a spare room full of sewing projects, her doll collection and a piano were just the start. She found a choir to sing in for over 10 years and always had a dog. After losing her last dog she welcomed Marty’s dog Arthur, which she dog sat three afternoons a Nanaweek.

In January, Western Canada Theatre’s Stage One Theatre School will move into a new 1,500-square-foot studio and another 1,700-square-feet of space will be used for nine teaching classrooms for the Kamloops Symphony Music School.
The building has been designed to be fully“Kelsonaccessible.Hall will prove to be an extraordinary cultural space,” said Barbara Berger, Recreation, the city’s social devel opment, and cultural manager.
“It is a completely stand-alone facil ity that will greatly enhance our cultural experiences. Of course, we would like to see the Kamloops Centre for the Arts move forward, but in the interim, Rae and I saw how Kelson Hall could fulfill our commitment to support our arts commu nity in an important and meaningful way, so we jumped at the opportunity.”
Once the official handover of Kelson Hall is made to the City of Kamloops, expected to occur in October of 2022, an open house will be held. Hall handed

Philanthropists Ron and Rae Fawcett — the driving force behind a years-long bid to see a performing-arts centre rise downtown — purchased the property a few years ago for the specific purpose of housing arts groups. Once it opens, the couple will donate Kelson Hall to the City of Kamloops. Once renovations are completed, the KSO and WCT will move into the building thisKelsonfall. Hall will feature offices and schools, along with spaces for perfor mances and rehearsals. In addition, the plan is for the build ing to become an arts hub for the city, eventually welcoming a variety of com munity arts organizations, individuals and students.“Itisno secret that Rae and I are sup porters of the arts here in Kamloops,” Ron Fawcett said. “We also realize that the work we have been doing on this building isn’t a secret, either, with so many people collaborating and the construction soon to wrap up. “We are excited to be able to donate as a gift the fully renovated building to the City of Kamloops later this fall when the citizens of Kamloops will become the 100 per cent owners of this building. We then understand it will be leased to, and operated by, the Kamloops Symphony and Western Canada Theatre.”
“Ron and Rae Fawcett’s passion and unwavering support of the arts is amaz ing, but it is their commitment as con tributors in building a truly liveable com munity that is remarkable. The generosity of this gift is significant for building the capacity of the arts in Kamloops.”
Ron Fawcett anticipates that Kelson Hall will alleviate the need to upgrade some of the city’s current facilities, pro viding cost savings to taxpayers.
“Located adjacent to the current site downtown where the Kamloops Centre for the Arts could be built, Kelson Hall has been designed to support the proposed centre by including a number of amenities and much-needed spaces for Kamloops’ arts groups,” he said.

The American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio’s Canadian tour arrives in Kamloops this week for a five-day stay. The big tent will be up in the Aberdeen Mall parking lot from Sept. 1 to Sept. 5. There will be two shows on Sept. 1 (5 p.m. and 7 p.m.), two shows on Sept. 2 (5 p.m. and 7 p.m.), three shows on Sept. 3 (3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m.), two shows on Sept. 4 (3 p.m. and 5 p.m.) and one show on Sept. 5, which is Labour Day (7 p.m.).“We have an acrobatic circus. We’ve got acts from Argentina, Columbia, Mexico. We are an interna tional circus. The acts you see here are big-thrill acts,” said ringmaster Roberto Osorio, who founded American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio with his broth ers, Leo and Francisco. The three brothers are part of a four-generation circus family. The brothers’ great-grandfather entered the industry after falling in love with a girl who was a trapeze artist, Osorio said. “He ended up running away and joining the circus. This happened in Mexico in the late 1800s. Then, his family brought him back and then he’d run away again and they’d bring him back. That happened three times,” Osorio“Theysaid.eventually stuck him in the Mexican military for three years. He fin ished with the military, went to look for the girl, found her and married her. That’s how my family started in the circus.” Osorio and his brothers performed a high-wire act from 1990 to 2000, includ ing stints with Circus Circus Reno and Circus Circus Las Vegas. After their perform ing career was done, they opened American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio in 2000 and have been travel ling ever since. The circus has continued to grow and change since its inception, Osorio said. “I remember when VHS tapes came out, there was an article saying circuses were over. They [writer] believed in five years, circuses would cease to exist. We just evolved,” he said. “Circuses evolve and change with the times.”For more information, or to buy tickets, go online americancrowncircus.com.to

Sensing a political opportunity to win support among Canada’s growing indus trial working class (just months ahead of a federal election), then-prime minister John A. Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act, which legalized and protected union activity in Canada. The strike ended shortly afterward. Unions — now legal — began to demand fair wages, working hours and safer work places.The political class recognized that work ing people, as voters, were interested in issues that impacted their lives. On July 23, 1894, the government of Canada under the leadership of then-prime minister John Thompson passed a law mak ing Labour Day official.
Today, hundreds of communities across Canada and the United States hold picnics, parades, concerts and marches to mark the day.
Tracing the history of how Labour Day came to be
KAMLOOPS THISWEEK
The first Monday in September has been an official holiday in Canada since 1894 and in the United States since 1892. But the origin of Labour Day came 20 years before that, when unions started holding parades and rallies in Toronto and Ottawa to celebrate the successful 1872 Toronto printers’ strike — the original “fight for fairness” that won major changes including the decriminalization of unions in Canada.Today, Labour Day marks the unofficial end to summer and the start of a new school year for children in Canada and the United States.Itis a day of rest and, for unions and labour activists, a day to celebrate the accomplishments of the labour movement and the benefits of having a union at work. But, as is the case with most holidays, the origins of Labour Day come from the struggles of working people and the demand for it was the movement to establish a nine-hour work day (the stan dard was a 12-hour work day and a six-day work week) and a strike by printers in Toronto in the spring of 1872 to get it.

The question is: Do we justify our violence using quasi-sacred words like “freedom” and “democracy”?
Rather, it begins in each and every human heart. As St. Seraphim of Sarov, one of the greatest of the Orthodox saints, put it: “Acquire the spirit of peace and thousands around you will be saved.” Only by engaging in this painstak ing process of acquiring the spirit of peace — which Orthodox Christians do by immersing themselves daily in the church’s sacramental life — can people begin to conform to the image of the suffering God. And only in the midst of that process can they begin to build com munities based on their family like ness as God’s children, so that slowly, heart by heart, community by com munity, a new world of co-suffering, peace and joy may emerge.
Co-suffering culture (part 4):
I would add as an aside that the 12-Step program is not a substitute for historic Christianity, but a pro phetic reminder — when we are tempted to forget — of the Gospel’s inner meaning. Similarly, 12-Step recovery groups are not church substitutes, but offer a vision for the conduct of authentic Christian com munity.Let’s consider specifically one of the fundamental rules of every 12-Step meeting — no cross-talk. In 12-Step lingo, cross-talk is defined as addressing advice, com ments or questions directly to someone else in the group. The pro hibition of cross-talk is essential so that members can feel safe to share freely and completely, without risk ing judgment, criticism or unwanted attention.Atadeeper level, the no crosstalk rule has a spiritual purpose.

The culture of co-suffering calls us to a different attitude. If we must shoot and bomb, we have to do so in full knowledge that we are not just “neutralizing the enemy,” but killing, making widows and orphans. We must weep for those whom we have killed and for our direct role in destroying the lives of their families.
The need to not cross-talk
RENERICHARD Gotta Have FAITH
Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@Pleasekamloopsthisweek.com.includeaveryshortbioandaphoto.
Imagine a global community in which nations no longer seek to pur sue their interests at the expense of other nations, but rather begin with the goal of recognizing each other’s needs and seeking to provide mutual support.These are not new ideals; they exist already, enshrined in many church teachings and political consti tutions, and they all derive ultimately from the New Testament itself. The no cross-talk rule acts simply as a lens to focus us on those Gospel ele ments, which are most essential and yet most easily forgotten. As we strive to build a co-suffering culture, however, we will encounter those who won’t abide by the nocross talk rule. They insist on assert ing their power over others through violence or try to cure violence by violentHowmeans.dowe respond in the face of this refusal to respect others?
Are we, in fact, engaged in crosstalk by asserting our moral superior ity over others, fighting fire with fire?

V. Rev. Richard René is the priestin-charge of St. Nicholas Orthodox Mission, (orthodoxkamloops.ca), an English-language Eastern Orthodox Church for the Kamloops community. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
The only authority permitted is that of the higher power of God, while everyone else speaks simply as one of God’s servants. We can perhaps see how the no cross-talk rule might speak to com munities well beyond the 12-Step program.Imagine faith communities where members strive not to offer advice, platitudes, judgments or criticisms.
In my estimation, pacifism is not the answer. When someone invades my home and threatens my family, I am obligated to resist, violently if necessary.Ifagovernment starts murdering its own people, the global community must intervene, violently if necessary.
Finally, our violence must lead us to repent of the rivalries and power struggles in our own lives and turn toward the spirit of the one who told his disciples, “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matt 26:52)Inreal world terms, then, the path to a co-suffering culture is neither easy nor clear cut. It is not simply a matter of more legislation or better education or more effective social or evangelical programs.
Given everything I have written so far about the Christian Gospel and a culture of cosuffering, you might think today’s Christian communities would offer paradigms of humility and compassion for our world. Sadly, this is not the case. Too often, Christians define ourselves against others — other Christian traditions, other faiths or others who hold to no faith at all. We too often view our claims to truth as a zerosum game. For us to “win,” everyone else must lose. Since we Christians so often fail to take the challenge of our own Gospel to heart, fresh insight must come from unexpected places. Where bet ter to look for a co-suffering culture, then, but among those who are acutely aware of their own powerless ness and who seek freedom by shar ing a common struggle? I am speaking here of recovering alcoholics and addicts in the 12-Step program. In fact, the 12-Step program has its origins in the Christian Gospel and presents the heart of Christianity in ways that are practical and acces sible, not just for those with addic tions, but for anyone seeking spiritual clarity. (Google “Oxford Group” for more on that.)

“I thought it was pretty cool because they wanted a local animal, which, for me, is pretty important as a Secwépemc artist who lives locally,” Jules said.The elementary school in Valleyview will reopen next week for the first time since 2010, when it was closed as the district agglomerated students into fewer schools. Recent enrolment pres sures, which are occurring in many Kamloops neighbour hoods, prompted the district to reopen the school.

The colours in the design were chosen by the district and harken back to Ralph Bell elementary’s previous colours. The rest is the work of Jules and SD73 graphic designer Cory Edwards, who Jules was keen to thank for his help digi tizing the design. “I do pen and paper, or pencil and paper artwork. I don’t really do anything graph ically,” Jules said. Jules said the district was initially deciding between Ravens and Bobcats for Ralph Bell’s nickname before choos ing the latter after feedback from parents. She said the ani mal choice was important. “Being an Indigenous artist, I want to make sure that some of the symbolism behind it is true to the territory that I live in,” Jules said. The artist said she is excited to see the work around the school and appearing on items like T-shirts and hats.
