Reported crime in Kamloops is up, but the num ber of people being charged is down, according to data released from the 2021 census. Statistics Canada recently released its latest police num bers and the results show that last year, total crime in Kamloops — excluding traffic offences — were at a five-year high of 13,379 incidents, while the number of people charged — 778 — hit a five-year low. The 13,379 crime files in Kamloops is an increase from 12,515 in 2020, 11,997 in 2019, 10,157 in 2018 and 10,614 in 2017.The number of charges from those files has trended down: 778 in 2021, compared to 934 in 2020, 1,307 in 2019, 1,383 in 2018 and 1,410 in Kamloops’2017.crime rate per 100,000 population — which is about the population of the city — is at its highest in the last five years, at a rate of 13,168. That is above the pro vincial average and it has sat above that threshold for the past five years. By comparison, the crime rate across B.C., excluding traf fic offences, per 100,000 popu lation in 2021 was 7,486. That rate is down from a five-year high for the province in 2018 of 8,632.Inneighbouring Kelowna — which has a population of more than 140,000 in the last census — that rate is 13,489 per 100,000 population for 2021, which is also a five-year high. The number of people charged in Kamloops is also at a lower rate than the province and Kelowna. Kamloops last year saw 803 files per 100,000 people ages 12 years and over cleared by charge, a rate cut in half from 2017’s 1,652 and below the provincial average of 919 in 2021. It’s also less than Kelowna’s 940 per 100,000.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com CIVIC ELECTION OCT. 15, 2022 Arjun Singh is a mayoral candidate in the Oct. 15 civic election. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
“I value people who are com mitted, who are connectors, who are bold in what they do,” Singh said. “I’ll tell you what I don’t like — I don’t like people who tear things down. I don’t like people who divide people unnecessarily … You have to bring folks together.”
In addition, Singh touted his local network and said he balances natural blindspots by walking with outreach workers or speaking with experts.
Singh credited Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian for being “solid” during the COVID-19 pandemic and Sun Peaks Al Raine for backing a health cen tre in the resort municipality.
Should the longest-servingcity’s coun cillor become mayor, Arjun Singh would hold monthly opendoor hours, lean on “pick-upthe-phone” relationships and show unwavering optimism and love for Kamloops. Singh, a 52-year-old property manager and incumbent coun cillor, believes in a strengthbased approach called apprecia tive“Ifinquiry.youcome at things through a positive lens on any thing, even the problems you have, you’re going to be more empowered,” Singh said. “If you say, ‘The world’s going to hell in a handbasket. What can we do about it?’ You just go further and further and further down the toilet. I com pletely believe that.” Singh said he is running to be the city’s next mayor because he feels a responsibility to give back to the community after his parents immigrated to Kamloops from India in the 1960s.He said he also enjoys the work because of diverse people and issues and cited his experi ence, relationships, ideas and ability to bring people together. Singh was first elected to council in 2005. His campaign portraits (which he turned into baseball cards) reveal significant time passed since his first term in hisHemid-30s.lostre-election in 2008 but said it taught him to work hard, including announcing and holding community con versations early in this 2022 campaign.Singhsaid people love the city’s caring mentality and outdoors, want a mayor who is approachable and acts decisive ly and have community safety in mind as the No. 1 issue. He proposes increased outreach, potentially repurposing police resources and thinks council should “lean in” despite others on council pointing to other lev els of Singhgovernment.saidheis proud of climate action work he cham pioned on council, including a tax increase to implement the Community Climate Action Plan.“That was a 7-2 vote on that, which, to me, was like — I just couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I went home and had a Blizzard thatSinghnight.”has been on the Union of BC Municipalities, Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Thompson Nicola Regional District boards and said he has a “pick-up-the-phone” relation ship with cabinet ministers, who he said know him as someone who wants to partner in a “pro ductive and positive way.”

A hiker is lucky to be alive after falling down a gully in the centre of Kamloops and breaking his leg, which left him trapped for more than a day before a faint cry for help alerted people to his predicament.
Trapped for more than a day in gully
Police were called at 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 31 for a reported scream heard coming from the Guerin Creek gully, which is located in Kamloops’ West End, between Chaparrel Place and Hudson’s Bay Trail, south of the intersection of Victoria Street West and Mission Flats Road. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn told KTW officers attended and heard a faint call for help from the basin of the creek, where a man was injured and unable to climbPoliceout.then called in Kamloops Fire Rescue and firefighters performed a steep slope rescue. The man, who is in his 30s, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Evelyn said the man said he had fallen and had been in the gully for more than aTheday.man had a broken femur, KFR Platoon Capt. Chris Pretula told KTW Pretula said the man had slipped and fell down an embankment, but wasn’t sure how far down he plunged.Assistant KFR Fire Chief Scott Karpiak said RCMP officers hiked in from the bottom of the gully to make contact with the patient and determined, due to the man’s injury and density and steepness of the terrain, he needed to be lifted out of the gully via rope rescue, rather than carried out.

Two KFR rope rescue teams were deployed and the man was lifted out of the gully in a basket stretcher before being handed off to paramedics. Karpiak said KFR cleared the scene by 7 p.m.The accident isn’t an uncommon one, Pretula said.“Definitely on the trails around town, there’s been incidents for sure. Peterson Creek usually gets lots of them,” Pretula said. “It’s a very upsetting situ ation for sure,” Karpiak said. “He’d certainly be uncom fortable and in a lot of pain. I’d say he’s very fortunate and lucky the residents did hearKarpiakhim.” said he does not know if the man had a cell phone with him. He advised that people recreating in the city or out side of Kamloops — with or without cellphone — ensure they notify friends or family of where they are going and when they expect to return.

I
n this column, I am shar ing my thoughts and experiences on serving as a trustee, vice-chair and chair of the KamloopsThompson board of education, while also hoping to inspire others to consider putting their names forward. I am not seeking re-election on Oct. 15, so I want to share how grateful I am to the voters of Kamloops who have given me the privilege of serving this school district for four terms. When elected to public office, you are given a trust that requires your time, commitment, skills, open mind and patience. A trustee’s work is compli cated. You become one member of a nine-person corporate board that must collaborate and com promise. There is no room for a narrow personal agenda, nor advocacy for a single organiza tion or group. You must always be willing to maintain an open mind to engage with all district and com munity members within the con text of the district’s strategic plan and your role as a governor. As a new trustee, there is an immense amount to learn about the entire district, the School Act, the board’s relationship to the Ministry of Education, the board’s role as employer to vari ous employee groups and the list goes on. A team of skilled profession als will help you learn what you need to know, but it will take time.Start the term by being curi ous and asking lots of questions. The board table will consist of incumbents who will absolutely support you in the learning. Improving student outcomes requires that all trustees be prepared to collaborate, com promise, listen and debate, consistently maintaining the line between governance (your role) and operations (the professional staff’s role). So, why run? You would be joining a board that celebrates student success in literacy, numeracy and high school com pletionThererates.will be tough times, tough decisions, endless meet ings, difficult conversations and challenging correspondence, but none of that outweighs walking into a classroom and having a primary student proudly read to you or receiving a student’s or a parent’s thank you email because you helped make a difference in their life. If students are always at the centre of what you do, the work is incredibly rewarding. I have no regrets.During my 14 years as a trust ee, Aboriginal graduation rates have significantly improved, but we are not done yet. The district is working hard on Truth and Reconciliation, a continuing journey of which I am extremely proud.InOctober, there will be the official opening of the expan sion of Valleyview secondary, an event more than five years in the making. Hopefully, we are only months away from a funding announcement for an elemen tary school in Pineview Valley as advocating for capital investment is forefront with trustees. During my terms, the district opened schools of choice, in addition to academies focused on meeting the needs of our diverse student population. The district’s new comprehensive strategic plan, created through extensive consultation, provides strong direction for the next five years. This was the third district strategic plan I participated in and implementation will be exciting.There is so much for which I am proud and grateful over the past 14 years. This district is not perfect and there is much we can do to improve our students’ outcomes.Ifyouhave the passion to truly be of service, consider running for school trustee and continue the work of moving this district forward. Plus, vote. An elected school board is the “pub lic” in public education. Meghan Wade is a KamloopsThompson school district trustee. She can be contacted by email at mwade@sd73.bc.ca.

WHERE ARE LYTTON REBUILD PLANS?
Editor: It has been 14 months since fire destroyed much of Lytton. There are five groups of people that are interested in seeing Lytton rebuilt and that need information: those who lived in the Village of Lytton, the Indigenous commu nity that lived on the reserve, those Indigenous people who lived close to the village, those of us who have called Lytton our hometown and CP and CN. I am among the fourth group. My mother was one of the original daughters of the first Loring family that settled in 1866 in the Botany val ley. I started my schooling in Lytton in 1945. I was 11 years old in the sum mer of 1949, when Lytton lost three of four blocks of the town to fire. I do not think it took more than two years to rebuild.Eachyear in May, I visit the graves of my Loring family and my mother and fathers in the Lytton cemetery. During my short visit to the village on Sept. 1 of this year, I discovered a complete lack of information about the rebuilding plan, time schedule or any information about who was in overall charge of the construction of the village and reserve. Neither the provincial or federal governments have provided any information to the public about what is being done, other than indicating some money has been allocated for theTherebuild.security personnel at the reserve said there is nothing being done on the reserve and thought that the downtown area was being addressed first — even though there were no signs of Matcon Environmental debris removal per sonnel working there. The village lost two museums and the village hall. On my visit, I wished to find out who was responsible for gathering any historical information that the public could provide to the museum and village office. I am a member of the Loring family and I have many original letters and photos of the family that would be helpful in restocking the museums and village hall.I know of many former Lytton families who also would like to know how to donate items for these civic projects.Whenever a company wishes to get permits for developing a project or building, it submits plans showing what it wishes to build. The com pany also provides visual drawings and technical details with enough information for all concerned parties’ comments.Surelyour provincial and fed eral governments have had more than ample time to submit their plans, schedules and budgets for the rebuilding of Lytton. The interested five groups or people only want some visual information on what our governments are doing. They need information so they can plan when they will be able to get back into their homes, schools, village offices, restau rants, motels, etc.

The Indigenous community needs someone to provide them with factual visual information about their school and community hall are rebuilt. They need their homes. A temporary office in Lytton right now would be able to answer ques tions, would it not? The major question from me: Who is in charge? Victoria or Ottawa? Presently, there seems to be no one in charge.
Editor: It was great to see activities return for Pride Week last week, including the Aug. 28 Pride Parade.Wehave been sharing our church community’s support of 2SLGBTQIA+ folx by proudly hanging a flag from our church since the start of Pride Month in June, just like several other Christian churches in Kamloops. We were looking forward to continuing our community sup port of Kamloops Pride with the flag waving all last week. However, our flag was torn down in the night just ahead of PrideWhileWeek.we are saddened by this act of vandalism, we are grateful for such wide support of Pride in the community. Happy Pride, everyone. You are so well loved.

MORE CRIMEVIOLENTINKAMLOOPS
Violent crime in Kamloops is also up sharply compared to five years ago. There were 2,551 violent criminal code violations in 2021 in Kamloops, up from 2,430 in 2020, 2,236 in 2019, 1,691 in 2018 and 1,421 in 2017. By comparison, Kamloops’s violent crimes per 100,000 popula tion in 2021 was 2,511, well above than B.C.’s 1,552 and higher than Kelowna’s 2,265. Of the 2,551 violent crime files in Kamloops in 2021, about 18 per cent, or 457, were cleared by charge. That’s up slightly from 453 in 2020, but down from 535 in 2019, 539 in 2018 and 520 in 2017.
ABOUT THESE NUMBERS
Overall, total reported crime in Kamloops (excluding traffic) is not the highest Kamloops has seen over the last 20 years — those numbers came in the early 2000s, when criminal code violations were 13,937 in 2003, 13,507 in 2004 and 13,783 in 2005. However, reported crime did hit a 20-year low about 10 years later, with about 8,500 incidents in 2014 and 2015, before trending up to the level it is However,today.numbers beyond the past five years may be skewed when compared to reporting from the past five Accordingyears.toStatistics Canada, crime trends in 2018 and 2019 may be attributable in part to changes in its reporting methodology for police services across Canada to a victim-centred approach. Many police forces across the country, including those in B.C., imple mented those changes, including B.C. in Statistics2019. Canada warned that comparisons in statistics between jurisdictions, provinces and years should be made with caution, as many factors influence policereported crime stats other than actual changes in crime. KTW has a call in to Kamloops RCMP regarding police statistics.
Charges per 100,000 population for violent crime in Kamloops in 2021 came in at a rate of 448, close to B.C.’s rate of 431 and Kelowna’s rate of Looking453. at specific stat lines, Kamloops has experienced 11 murders in the past five years — two in 2021, three in 2020, three in 2019, one in 2018 and two in 2017. There have been 13 murders in Kelowna during the past halfdecade.Compared with the rest of the province, Kamloops’ two homi cides in 2021 equate to a rate of 1.97 per 100,000 population, whereas across B.C. there was a rate of 2.40. As for assaults with a weapon or causing bodily harm, Kamloops had 213 in 2021, 175 in 2020, 183 in in 2019, 175 again in 2018 and 137 in 2017.

WHO THE HECK IS THE BC Interior Community Foundation?
This year, BCICF has the capacity to return $600,000 in investment income to communities in the Thompson, Nicola and South Cariboo region. The money will be disbursed through grants, scholarships and bursaries and it’s all thanks to the generous citizens and companies that believe in us.
A gift to your Community Foundation can make an impact on your community TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER!
As an integral part of the communities we serve, we’re proud to report that through all of last year’s unprecedented events the one thing that held steadfast and true was the continued growth of our endowed funds. And with that growth comes the ever increasing benefits that we bring to our communities.
People often want the “elevator pitch” to explain what a Community Foundation is because we’re all familiar with single-purpose charities (think of a university foun dation or food bank), who can explain their mission in one easy sentence. It’s a bit more complex for us! Our structure is unique. We are your one-stop charitable giving partner and our specialty is working with individuals, families, businesses and charitable agencies to create permanent endowment funds. You may not be familiar with the term endowed fund or how a Community Foun dation operates. When you make a donation to one of the endowed funds held at a Community Foundation, 100% of your donation is put into the fund. These funds are invested and will remain with the Community Foundation forever! It’s only the income earned on these investments that is allocated to a specific need, and it’s done so according to the donor’s wishes.

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops has begun erecting a fence between the rear of businesses along Victoria Street West and the Canadian Pacific Railway lineThedowntown.projectbegan on Tuesday and is expected to take weeks to complete the construction of the 350-metre long fence, which will include a retaining wall component. The wall will span from Overlanders Bridge, east to the Sun Life Financial building in the 200-block of Victoria Street West.All westbound drivers along Victoria Street West intending to go under the bridge and up the Summit Connector to Sahali will be detoured over the bridge to the North Shore, where they will travel down Tranquille Road, Leigh Road and Fortune Drive before doubling back across the bridge. The detour is in effect from Mondays to Fridays between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Detours from the construc tion site will be removed in the evenings and on weekends, but motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes if possible, according to the city. Motorists must obey all traffic control personnel and signage when driving through the construction zone. Businesses within the construction zone are open and accessible for eastbound traffic. The wall being built at the western end of Victoria Street West is being undertaken by the city as a requirement of a land transaction it made with CP that gave the city a piece of rail right-of-way it landscaped as part of the $13-million Victoria Street West Road reha bilitation project in 2019. The decorative safety fenc ing is expected to be about seven feet tall and made of metal.The construction is pegged for completion by mid-Octo ber and is being carried out by Urban Appeal Landscaping. The project has been on the municipality’s radar for a fewInyears.2019, city CAO David Trawin told KTW the railway had safety concerns regarding people crossing the tracks and cutting a chain link fence to access the South Thompson River, so the city proposed mitigating those concerns with better fencing in exchange for the land. CP Rail valued the land at about $200,000. Trawin told KTW last sum mer the wall would come in two sections — from the bridge to Sun Life and from Sun Life to First Avenue — with the total project costing about $700,000. Half of that cost was expected to be covered by a Transport Canada grant, but that was denied last year.
Fence project means detours across bridge

“We can’t do provincial stuff on mental health and health care. That’s not our role,” he said. Karpuk previously worked in forestry, with a background in fire ecology, and has been a Rotarian for nearly two decades. Karpuk believes the city could direct service clubs to access grant money to reduce fire risk in Kamloops. His campaign website also advocates creating a bylaw to keep streets clear of vehicles so snow crews don’t have to drive around obstacles, building a multipurpose convention centre at Thompson Rivers University, cre ating a Granville Island-style mar ket at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Columbia Street downtown and adding potable water to the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh.Karpuk can be reached at his website at stephenkarpuk.ca, by email at stephenkarpuk@gmail. com and on Facebook by search ing “Stephen Karpuk.”

Fifty-three-year-old Kamloops chiropractor and longtime Rotarian Stephen Karpuk said he was undecided on a third run for city council when he was on an errand downtown and was told by a young person: “You know, the great thing about this town is you don’t even have to work to be here.”“And I thought, ‘Wow,’” Karpuk said. “And, you know, they’re hanging out in front of city hall and lounging like so many oth ers are doing down there and I just thought, ‘Wow, really? Is it that good here? Have we got the Lotusland?”Karpuk,a Brocklehurst resi dent, has lived in the city for more than 40 years and it has changed during that time. He said he wants to see the city go in a “different direction” with new blood. He said new faces would allow for a fresh look at problems facing the city. Karpuk said a recent trip to Chilliwack and Cultus Lake revealed to him no signs of homelessness, poverty, unkempt streets or shopping carts. He said Kamloops has never had the same level of homelessness as it does now.He questioned whether service providers are doing enough. “Places like ASK Wellness, you’ve got to start putting them and others to account,” Karpuk said. “If you are housing people and those people — who have the very diverse needs that they do and those people are getting all the help that they are — then there shouldn’t be a problem.” Karpuk questioned place ment of a shelter in the former Greyhound bus depot in Southgate because it is an industrial area. He also takes issue with transfor mation of hotels and motels into housing.Hesaid the Fortune Motel, which has been purchased by BC Housing and will soon take in some of the city’s homeless popu lation, used to be a place for soccer teams to Karpukstay.said he would like to see the city put its foot down and said Thompson Rivers University should take some weight off hous ing pressure by building more stu dent housing on campus. Karpuk said city hall has been over-extending itself, taking on matters outside of its mandate.

He said he would like to do the same for Kamloops to ensure the city gets its fair share. “I’m not going to beat the drum and demand we need all these schools built, but we can see that Kamloops is definitely overcapacity and over-utilized,” he said, pointing to ongoing school capacity issues in the district.

With politics in his future, Hickson said he’s also been asked by some to run for council — but that is something he says he’s not inter ested in at the moment. “I still want to build my career, I still want to build my future, but I know the school district is a great place where I can help build other peoples’ futures and careers, as well, for a broadly more successful city that I want to be a part of in the future,” he said.

Hickson’s campaign is focused on five areas, including improved funding, boost ing experiential learning, improving student safety, encouraging young graduates to pursue careers in Kamloops and property planning.
Theissues.25-year-old candidate said a blown shoulder meant he couldn’t pursue the trades or military after high school, as he had planned, and instead attended Thompson Rivers University to study political science and economics.“WhenI got to university, I realized I was actually really interested in the way the world works,” he Hicksonsaid.said politics and economics captured his interests, which led to his work with the TRU Students’ Union, where he was elected four times to represent students, and an education that landed him a job at the very university he attended. Now working as the communications and engagement coordinator for TRU’s School of Business and Economics, Hickson has already been looking for ways to find opportunities for students — something he’s hoping to work toward as a schoolHicksontrustee.said he didn’t excel as a student before attending university, feeling as though there were no opportunities for him to be aca demically successful in his K-12 years. With “a bit of imagination, a bit of risk and a lot of work,” Hickson said he is hoping to turn that around and lay out more options for SD73 students during his term as school trustee, should he be elected.

“He has roots in the rural area that go back so far,” Carroll said, noting there are not many people in rural British Columbia who do not know Haughton. “He’d be a really good representative for ourContactarea.” Haughton by phone at 250-315-5780 or by email at knutsforddoug@gmail.com.
Haughton wants to succeed Gillis as TNRD Area L director
Doug Haughton is a TNRD director candidate in the Oct. 15 civic election. He can be reached via email at knutsforddoug@gmail.com.
Doug Haughton, 64, known as “John Deere Doug,” is running in the Oct. 15 municipal election in Area L (Grasslands), the regional district area south and east of Kamloops, including Knutsford andTNRDPritchard.board chair Ken Gillis currently occupies that seat, but is not seeking re-election. KTW met with Haughton at the TNRD Building downtown on Wednesday (Aug. 31) after he filed his nomina tionHaughtonpapers. said Gillis asked him to run.“Our present director, Ken Gillis, is retiring off the board and Ken approached me, oh, quite a while back, if I’d like to do it, and I’ve always been in the world of politics, which I’m usually out there helping other people come election time,” Haughton said. “I said, ‘You know, one thing in this world I want to do before my time is over is look after the rural community that I’ve lived in all my life,’” he Haughtonsaid. is a longtime Knutsford resident and rancher. His family has owned land in the area dating back more than 100 years. He grew up on Columbia Street in Kamloops before moving back to the eponymously named Haughton Ranch when he got married in theHaughton1980s. has not sought politi cal office in the past, but has helped with campaigns at the provincial and federal levels. He has also been involved with various boards, including the Kamloops Exhibition Association, the Provincial Winter Fair and the 4-H BC Foundation. Haughton said rural areas are not taken care of as well as they should be. He pointed to safety concerns on Highway 5A and suggested that, if the Ministry of Transportation will not ban semi-truck traffic, safety improvements — such as increased lighting, elimination of road corners and pullovers for drivers to put chains on tires — are needed. He said the regional district as a whole has a bad invasive weed problem, noting Crown lands are not being addressed.“Nomatter what road you go up, there’s weeds everywhere,” he said. “We used to be, the name of the riding is called the Grasslands. But if you drive up 5A today, it looks more like knapweed city.” Asked about Gillis’ performance at the regional district, Haughton replied: “I’ve known Ken for a lot of years. I know they have some issues here. I’m not going to com ment on that. I’d rather not get into that. That’s a prior issue.” Haughton was referencing the spending controversy at the TNRD, uncovered by KTW in 2021 and which led to a forensic audit, a criminal investigation (with no charges recommended by RCMP) and myriad policy changes. Haughton credited Gillis for working hard for the region, specifically for his work during last year’s wildfire season. Haughton said he does not believe there is a spotlight on Area L with Gillis’ departure, as he noted many other vacancies on the TNRD board this electionHaughton’sseason.campaign manager is Darla Hunter. Jim Carroll, a retired lawyer and neighbour of Haughton, is his financial agent. Carroll described Haughton as energetic, caring, hardworking, honest and a people person.

B.C.’s health authorities and pharmacies are preparing for a fall COVID-19 booster dose campaign, with mass clinics planned and the province hop ing to vaccinated 250,000 people per week beginning in midSeptember.Onoffer is a new bivalent vaccine that combines the original COVID-19 strain and the BA.1 Omicron strain to pro duce a more effective vaccine, which has been approved for use in adults age 18 and older by Health Canada and is expected to arrive in B.C. “imminently,” according to provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. Everyone ages five and older is being encouraged to get a fall booster shot at least six months since their last dose. Henry made the announce ment on Tuesday alongside Health Minister Adrian Dix and vaccine program head Dr. Penny Ballem.“While I do believe we are emerging from the pandemic part of it, it is clear that COVID19 will be with us for the long term. It is still, in my opinion, though, an unusual event, one for which we need to continue to take co-ordinated measures together,” Henry said. Henry is encouraging all who are eligible to receive a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, be it a booster dose or a first or second dose. She said there is still signif icant spread of the virus around the world and the impact of yet another variant is an uncertainty the public still has to live with. But it appears many of the health measures B.C. has seen in the past won’t be returning in the“Itfall.is without a doubt vacci nation that has allowed us to get to this point where we no longer need to have broad imposed measures like mask mandates, closures, distancing, that we know are so disruptive to soci ety,” Henry said. The province will prioritize those with higher risk of impact from infection, including resi dents of long-term care homes and those living in congregate settings, as well as adults age 60 and older, those deemed clini cally extremely vulnerable over the age of 12 and First Nations communities.Whilealso administering vaccines for influenza, which Henry said is expected to return this year with increased social contact, the province expects to provide at least 250,000 vaccines per week beginning in midSeptember.“Weanticipate we’ll have about 1,100 pharmacies partici pating all around the province and there will be more than 100 health authority clinics working with the clinics to provide the capacity we need,” Ballem said. Both influenza and COVID19 are expected to peak at the height of respiratory season in November and December. Invitations to receive fall boosters will be sent to those who have registered for vac cinations in the past. New reg istrations can be done online at getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca or by calling 1-833-838-2323.

Over the past few months, we have had the pleasure to meet with some great families who were looking for an advisor.We love getting to meet new people and learn about them. We do so by asking lots of questions to get to know who they are and what truly matters to them.
mayor wants sporting event in city
“We’ve also hosted women’s hockey and we could do it. I’m not as excited about being the gateway to Sun Peak, but if that’s all we get, then that’s something that we would be.” Kamloops is known for playing host to a wide variety of sporting events and has in the past hosted the Brier and the International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championship.Nextyear,Kamloops is set to host the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Memorial Cup.
1. What services do you and your team offer? An advisor should outline what his or her team looks like and the services they include. How often will you meet? Will you get afinancial or retirement plan? What reports will they provide? Do they offer additional services such as insurance solutions, tax or estate planning strategies?
Above all, you should feel comfortable with your advisor and have agood personality match. The best relationships are ones where people share their information, goals and work together towards achieving what truly matters to them and their families.
There are many reasons for the move towards fee-based compensation, among the most important is removing hidden compensation. This aligns an investor's objectives with those of the advisor and can limit investment recommendations that may offer the advisor alarger commission.

2. How much money do you manage and how many clients do you have? We find most clients want to deal with an advisor who will be there for years to come. This question should provide insight as to what their typical client looks like and if the advisor has capacity to take on additional families. We feel it is important to know if you fit within their target market or existing clientele.
3. What products do you offer? Currently,many firms and advisors are licensed with either the Mutual Fund Dealers Association (MFDA) or the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). Often these individuals can only offer their firm's products thus limiting options and truly not offering an unbiased recommendation. Historically,the “Big Banks” acted as brokerages. Now they are typically known as Wealth Management offices and can offer several investment products including, but not limited to: stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), alternative investments, commodities and insurance. Generally,brokerages are not limited to offering their own products, thereby giving investors more choices and limiting potential bias.

There are too many credentials and titles in our industry However,itisworth knowing that the Portfolio Manager title carries afiduciary duty to their clients. Similar to doctors and lawyers, they are legally bound to always put their clients' interests first. Another important credential that we feel advisors should have is either the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) or Personal Financial Planner (PFP) designation as this means that they have completed substantial training and certification specific to financial planning.

5. How areyou compensated? Today,there are many ways for advisors to make money Salary,commissions, bonuses and fee-based are typically the most common. More and more, our industry is moving more towards the fee-based model where investors pay apercentage fee on the assets they have with an advisor.Typically,services such as building and maintaining portfolios, wealth planning and trading costs are included.

Christian wants to see an Olympic sporting event held in Kamloops should a B.C. bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics moveCityforward.council has voted in favour of a feasibility study and continuation of discussions about a bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics, including events held at Sun Peaks. The International Olympic Committee is expected to award the 2030 Games between May 30 and June 1 of next year. A delegation from the BC2030 Canadian Olympic Committee Feasibility Team appeared before council last week to present feasibility findings. An initial hosting con cept report proposes the 2030 Olympic Winter Games be held in Vancouver, Whistler and Sun Peaks and be Indigenous-led, with a focus on reconciliation. First Nations representatives were part of the delegation. Speaking with KTW , Christian said the city’s support is subject to approval of First Nations.Christian said if the bid were to move ahead, it would be significant for the city, but he added has some reservations. He said he wants to see an event in Kamloops. The bid proposes freestyle skiing and snowboarding events held at Sun Peaks, but no events in the Tournament Capital. Christian suggested the city could host curling or hockey.
4. What fees will Ipay? Regulators have improved disclosures to ensure that costs are transparent however there tends to still be misunderstanding around fees. It is important for investors to understand all costs to investing and what they are getting in return. Are there any hidden, embedded or deferred sales charges (rear loads)? Does the advisor use lower cost products where suitable? It can be worthwhile to ask what the fees are in terms of dollars and percentages.

Like any good relationship, it should be atwo-way street and we get asked many questions as well. Some folks ask very pointed questions, while others admit they are not sure if they are asking the right questions. Given this, we feel some important questions to ask your current or prospective investment advisor are listed below in no particular order:
Questions to Ask an Investment Advisor
AN INITIAL HOSTING CONCEPT REPORT PROPOSES THE 2030 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES BE HELD IN VANCOUVER, WHISTLER AND SUN
6. What areyour credentials?
7. What is your investment philosophy? Advisors should be able to explain their strategies in asimple way.What is their process for selecting investments? What research do they do? For example, we put our "Investment Philosophy and 10 Core Beliefs” in writing.
The above questions are by no means exhaustive, but will hopefully give you abetter understanding of the advisor(s) you are meeting with.
“We’ve done curling before and we’ve hosted the world and we could do it,” Christian said.

Christian said if the bid were to only include Sun Peaks, Kamloops Airport, the city’s accommodation sector, Kamloops RCMP and more would still be involved. Although athletes are expected to stay in an athletes village at Sun Peaks — proposed new housing that in the long term would be used for Sun Peaks workers — Christian said others involved in the Games would stay in Kamloops, noting spectators, staff, media and more flock to the Games. The initial hosting concept report showed governments would be on the hook for essential services related to the international event. Christian said Kamloops RCMP would be supported by other communities. He pointed to Kamloops Mounties sent to help with the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler and said it would be a similar scenario, should the Games come to the region in 2030.Transportation infrastructure between Kamloops and Sun Peaks would also be required, Christian said. The mayor said any costs to Kamloops at this time are unknown. Council heard on Tuesday that costs would be part of the discussions going forward before any formal bid process. Should it proceed, the bid would be submitted in February 2023. PEAKS WITH A ON

Although a subdued fire season has thus far led to fewer blazes and less area burned throughout the province, compared to last year, officials are asking the public to be mindful of conditions in September, which is forecast to be warmer and dryer than usual. There have been 42,997 hectares burned to date this year, compared to the 865,839 hectares burned as of this time last year. The the 20-year average of hectares burned by the end of August is 299,601.
In August, however, the province saw a spike in wildfires, with 98,000 lightning strikes recorded. In total, there were 889 fire starts last month, with 85 per cent of them caused by lightning. That figure also illustrates just how many human-caused wildfires there have been this year — just Typically,291.lightning causes about half of the fires in the province, with human activity attributed to the remaining blazes. This year, that figure represents just 21 per cent overall. “B.C. is experiencing one of the lowest human-caused wildfire seasons since 1950, so we’re asking all British Columbians to continue the great work you have all been doing,” Conroy said. September is expected to bring hotter than normal conditions, with McLoughlin noting that ocean temperatures, which are currently 3 C to 5 C warmer than usual, being a leading cause. Stronger winds are also forecast as the province moves toward a fall weatherDangerouspattern.conditions on the ground are also possible. The buildup index, a measure of the total amount of fuel available to be burned, shows nearly all of British Columbia in the red, as well as smaller pockets of Alberta.“Without rain, these buildup indices will continue to climb in these parts of the prov ince, so, there still is hazard in the southwest corner and northeast corner of the province,” McLoughlin said. As a result, Conroy asked British Columbians to remain vigilant well into September, as the weather is not expected to return to seasonal temperatures until October.
Pursuant to Section 227 of the Community Charter, Council proposes to pass a bylaw at its October 11, 2022 Regular Council meeting, to provide permissive property tax exemptions to the following properties owned by not for profit organizations, for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025.

LOCAL TAME WILDFIRE SEASON THUS FAR, BUT SEPTEMBER SHOULD BE WARMER, DRIER THAN NORMAL
On Sept. 1, Forests Minister Katrine Conroy briefed media on conditions in August and invited Neal McLoughlin, super intendent of predictive services with the BC Wildfire Service, to provide an outlook for September.McLoughlin said there are a number of reasons why B.C. has experienced such a mild wildfire season. “We started the season quite late, we had above-normal over-winter precipitation, cooler spring temperatures, late snow melt at upper elevations and an overall late start to the fire season,” McLoughlin said.
The campfire ban has come to an end. As of Sept. 2, campfires were again permitted in the Kamloops Fire Centre. However, other open fires remain prohibited, as do fireworks, sky lanterns, burn barrels/ cages and binary exploding targets.
Campfire ban lifted
The campfire ban was enacted on Aug. 4 to help prevent human-caused wildfires. A map of the affected areas and their associated prohibitions is available online at http://ow.ly/oAHx50KxkuH. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $1,150, required to pay an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/ or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire, or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone KAMLOOPS THISWEEK

Honestly, I’m not feeling too much pressure. I’m just really confident going into this. I’m confident that I’m going to do my job and I’m really excited.” Ernst, who turned 18 this past February, is likely to start pre-season action atop the club’s goaltending depth chart, with 20-year-old Dylan Garand, one of the best netminders in franchise history, moving on to join the New York Rangers’ organization. “It’s a pretty tough act to follow,” Blazers’ general man ager and head coach Shaun Clouston said. “It just is what it is, but we’ve seen a much more focused, more confident, more structured goaltender so far in camp.”Ernst, who posted a 14-8-2 record, .900 save percentage and 2.95 goals-against average in 2021-2022, has competi tion in 18-year-old Michael Schnattinger, whom the Blazers nabbed 115th overall at the CHL Import Draft in July, and 16-yearold Jesse Sanche, the Kamloopsborn backstop who signed with the club in Schnattinger,December.fromBrno,

I’m so happy to be here and I’ll do everything, do my best, to prove myself. Everything is faster. The rink is smaller. Bounces are dif ferent. So, yeah, it’s different for me. It will just take me some time, but I will do OK with it.” Blazers’ goaltending coach Dan De Palma is working with Schnattinger on adjusting to the North American game. “Sometimes, it’s just getting to position a little bit sooner and to the right position more often,” De Palma said. “He said it’s his dream to come over and play in Canada. He wants to make the most of it. He might be quiet when we talk to him, but there’s a fire in there.”

SEMINOFF NHL Draft pick status did not get to Seminoff’s head. The 19-yearold forward from Coquitlam — picked by the Dallas Stars in Round 6 of the draft in July — trained five or six times a week in the off-season and took shifts in the pit to earn some coin. “I worked in a restaurant wash ing dishes,” said Seminoff, who had 26 goals and 57 points in 64 games last season. “Spacca Napoli in Port Moody. If anyone’s there, you should check it out. It was a little bit gritty, but it was fun.” Gritty, but fun, is not a terrible way to describe Seminoff’s game — and work ing in a restaurant might have helped him achieve one of his summer goals. “I ate a lot more,” he said. “It was my first year at NHL camp and I wanted to be stron ger.”Of course, dining on Italian delights was accompanied by strenuous work outs — and the clanging and bang ing in the gym has paidBlazers’off. head coach and gen eral manager Shaun Clouston, when given the chance to offer a thought on anything that jumped to mind from camp, spoke first of the beefedup lookstenacioushardestbeenmuscle.he’satthinknumbers,havesaid.shape,”camp“He’sdishwasher.comeintointerrificClouston“Biglegs.I’dtocheckthebutIhecamein192poundsandripped.It’sHe’salwaysoneofourworkers,aguy.Helikehe’sready

“It’s been awesome,” Behm said of his camp experience. “It was fun playing with guys like Semi [Seminoff] and [Ethan] Rowland. Those veteran guys helped out a lot. I’ve got to develop more, just develop this year, get a couple games in to get the feel for it and play full-time nextBehm,year.”who signed with the Blazers in June, is expected to remain with the team through the preseason will likely be in the lineup on Friday.

The Blazers last week traded 18-year-old Mats Lindgren to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for 19-year-old Masters and a first-round prospects draft pick, a swap of NHL-drafted defencemen that turned heads across the league. Masters told KTW on Monday he was ready for a change of scenery. “It was a home run, hon estly,” Masters said when asked about being dealt to a team that is hosting the Memorial Cup tourney. “It’s the best it gets. I’m a competitive, two-way defender who likes to be involved all over the ice, whether that’s defending or playing with the puck offensively. I think I can do a lot of things in different ways.”Masters, picked by the Minnesota Wild in Round 4 of the 2021 NHL Draft, did not produce overwhelming offensive numbers last sea son, with three goals and 14 points in 65 games. Clouston sees potential for notable improvement in that“Absolutely.category. With his skating and puck-handling skills, we think there’s lots more there,” Clouston said. “He’s got terrific speed. He sees the ice well. He’s not scared to join the rush and get on the attack. The other thing that’s nice to see is how well he’s fit in and mixed in with his teammates already. I’ve been really pleased with what we’ve seen.”

WEDNESDAY, September 7, 2022 A29www.kamloopsthisweek.com SPORTS Opening weekend of the Canada West Campaign finished without a victory for the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team, which was unable to register a goal in a pair of losses at Hillside Stadium.TheUNBC Timberwolves of Prince George edged TRU 1-0 on Sunday, despite facing 12 shots from the snakebitten WolfPack (0-2).Paige Payne scored on a stun ning strike for the T-Wolves (1-10) nine minutes into the match. “We had a bunch of good chances, but just lacked a little bit of quality in the attacking third of the field,” WolfPack head coach Mark Pennington told TRU Sports Information.Goalkeeper Marissa Young had a strong performance for the Pack in a losing effort. The Calgary Dinos (2-0) blanked TRU 5-0 on Saturday.
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
“We are missing four key play ers today and some young players got the opportunity to step up and I thought they showed well for the most part,” Pennington said after the loss to the Dinos. “Once we get our more experi enced bodies back, I think it will really help us.” TRU will aim to notch its first win of the campaign next week end, with two more matches on home turf — versus Regina (0-11) on Friday and Saskatchewan (1-1-1) on Saturday, with both contests slated to get underway at 5:30 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. Meanwhile, the WolfPack men’s soccer team suffered its first setback of the U Sports cam paign on Saturday in Langley, where the Trinity Western Spartans tallied twice in the first half and held on to win 2-1. “They scored early. We turned around and had some good opportunities, but we hit a crossbar, missed one right at the beginning and in the end two defensive lapses – which is for the most part uncharacteristic for us – cost us,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov told TRU Sports Information.PatrickIzett scored his second goal of the season for TRU (3-1-0) in a losing effort. Trinity improved to 3-0-1 on the campaign. The WolfPack blanked the Fraser Valley Cascades 1-0 on Friday in Abbotsford.

“A balanced approach is needed; being able to talk about it without being over vigilant. I tend to say that suicide is like a monster under the table. When we shine light on it, it’s not as scary. It’s more man ageable.”Theslogan of this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day is “Creating Hope Through Action”. By listening to survivors and those affected by suicide, sharing resources and advocating for sys temic changes in suicide preven tion, the Crisis Centre of BC strives to create a future where every per son experiencing suicidal thoughts feels supported and finds hope. “We need to have open conver sations about suicide for suicide to be prevented,” Ortiz said. “The more comfortable we talk about this topic, which might make us uncomfortable, the more lives will be saved.” TheCrisis Centre of BC, work ing with the BC Crisis Lines Network, provides immediate access to barrier-free, non-judg mental, confidential support and follow-up through 24/7 phone lines and online services.

What do you say to someone who has attempted suicide? The Crisis Centre of BC offers someOvercomingtips. a suicide attempt is challenging — both for the person who experienced it and for those in that person’s life. When we love someone, it’s terrifying to think of life without them and our fear of making things worse can get in the way of connection and healing. “The difference between just one attempt and many more is the experience itself and how the expe rience is integrated. What is the meaning behind the attempt?” said Jessica Wolf Ortiz, bereavement co-ordinator at the Crisis Centre of BC.“Asuicide attempt is always communication. We need to be able to talk openly about suicide and suicide attempts for the heal ing journey to happen.” Ortiz said there might be a fear in those around someone who has attempted suicide to talk about sui cide or to talk about pain. “Because if I talk about pain, I might make things worse, so I just don’t talk about it,” Ortiz said.

We seldom ask for miracles, But today just one would do. To have the back door open, And see you walking through. A million times we’ve missed you, A million times we’ve cried; If love could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a memory, That no one else can fill.
Always and forever Your Memory and Spirit will be with us. Our love, Lynn, Shai, Lizz

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always –Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Donna Rose Swiatkewich/Romaniuk
Our family began when Dave Edwards, Michael’s best friend in high school, introduced him to his sister, Judy who was always shyly trying to catch a glimpse of the handsome man her brother brought home. It wasn’t long after that Mike and Judy were married and headed off to New Westminster to start their life together Within 7 years, they had 2 boys and 2 girls and began madly moving all around BC as Dad tuned up Singer sewing machines, distributed truck parts and then sold tractor trailers for Inland Kenworth, Peterbuilt and Freightliner Dad loved making others happy whether it was dressing up like Santa and giving out toys to his coworkers’ children, or making Christmas pins with Mom for all of us to share with our own co-workers. He gave his gifts generously and unconditionally For all of us, Dad was the one who made waffles on Sunday mornings, popcorn on the stove for the drive-in theatre and his famous Daddy’s Special (aka Shepherd’s Pie) whenever we asked for it He built us doll cradles for our rubber babies, and tow-along toys for our real babies. He taught us how to drive a car (insisting on a standard first) and how to fix it when the brakes, timing chain, water pump or tires gave out. He showed us how to frame, drywall and wire a room for our own growing families and where to find the best fishing holes in BC. Most importantly, however, he shared his own unique wisdom that made his whole family strong, resilient, and brave. “Get your ducks in a row, and go hair straight back with anything you love to do… and when things get really tough, make sure you got tight lines and straight Onshootin’”.Sunday morning we lost someone who that we were the most important thing in the fighting Irish spirit in the depth of our hearts.

Michael Ernest Elwood
On August 28, 2022 we sadly lost our Da, the most loving and giving person in all of our hearts. Michael Ernest Elwood was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Lottie and John Elwood on July 29th, 1943. Although he was the youngest and probably most spoiled of 6 children, (Betty, Roberta, Pat, Big Mike and Douglas), Michael grew up quickly to become the rebel we all knew him to be.
It is with overwhelming sadness that we say goodbye to “Tim”, our son, brother, father, uncle and friend. Tim was loved by so many that it is difficult to name everyone. His free spirit and adventurous personality will always be remembered by us all.
May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of despair
The Prayer Service was held on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at 7pm in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints, 1044 8th St., Kamloops. The Funeral Service is Wednesday, September 7, 2022 at 10 am in the Church Following the Service, Donna will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery
Michael is survived by Judy, his loving wife of 58 years, and his children Barb (Bill), Brent (Dorothy), Susan (Darrell) and Neil (Tanya). He joins his first granddaughter, Catherine, in Heaven as well as his brothers Douglas and Big Mike and his sister, Betty He leaves behind 9 grandchildren, Elizabeth (Nathan), John (Tess), Madison (Niko), Kayli, Alexa, Hugh, Chelsea, Naomi, and Orson as well as Rhett, his great-grandchild. All, however, will remember Grandad for his wicked sense of humour, off-colour jokes, scroll saw gifts and fierce love he had for each of them.
Margaret was born and raised in Vancouver where she attended public school along with Japanese Language school, then a sewing and tailoring school. In 1942, during Canada's Japanese relocation program, the family moved themselves to Magna Bay where they established a strawberry farm. Tom reconnected with Margaret, were married in 1944, and they moved to Coldstream Ranch. In the early 50s they moved to Lumby with their young family They started a shoe repair store which grew to include shoes and dry goods. It was a reliable business for almost 25 years. During those years friends, neighbours, and relatives often called on Margaret for her wonderful sewing talents.
Milynda was born on March 28, 1971 to proud parents Ken and Pauline. In her childhood Milynda had a love of bowling and even participated in the provincial games. Once she was done school she worked numerous jobs such as the Bunmaster and a hairdressers before beginning her long career at the YMCA in Kamloops. Nothing made her prouder than her job at the Y where she worked for over 20 years. Once she retired from the Y it was time to look after her dad Ken as her mom had passed away. She loved holidays with her family, her Disney movies, stringing music on her guitar and finally working around her last home at The Hamlets of Westsyde.

If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow. Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

Benjamin "Ben" Douglas Beaver May 25, 1986 - July 19, 2022
When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention I will know it is you reminding me To appreciate the simple things in life.
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.
Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.
“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.”
For I know that no matter what You will always be with me.

Most precious to Ben, the loves of his life, Ben is survived by his daughters: Elleanor (Ellie) Teresa Rose Beaver-7 3/4 years (Kayla Holowaychuk Rosen)Louis Creek, and Emilia Marie Beaver1 1/2 years (Alysha Wackerhagen)Kamloops. You were a super Dad! And embraced fatherhood like none other! Predeceased by his Uncle Ron Beaver (1972), Grandparents-Ellen Nicol (1998), Herb Beaver (1999) & Ray Nicol (2000) all of Kamloops, his cousin Nathan Raymund Nicol (2004) of Blue River, and his Uncle Raymund Nicol of Midway (2012). Ben was also predeceased by good pals Connor Maher (2005)Westwold, and Ben Kirkey (2012)BenKamloops.wasborn in Kamloops and raised in Westwold, attending Westwold Elementary (1991-1999)~Home of the Wildcats! and Valleyview Secondary (1999-2004). Ben was an especially active child and youth, always busy, and more often than not, pushing boundaries. Ben had an immense passion for the outdoors; never to be found inside as a youngster as he and Myles Yule scouted and scoured the Westwold wilderness (“Dudes Forever”)! As a young man and adult, if Ben was sweet on you, you could bet that there would be a bush drive and a body of water involved! Ben so loved his family, and friends, hunting, fishing and a rural lifestyle.
I know that no matter what You will always be with me. When life separates us I’ll know it is only your soul Saying goodbye to your body But your spirit will be with me always.
I am all that you shape me to be You have a windshield view exposing the picture beyond Only you fit the pilot’s seat As your hands and feet heart and eyes are trained to work the plane You know every part and how to fix it You are navigating by the spirit You belong to a solid tender heart and so accepted as firm to soar You’re worth the shiniest mint coins and bills in circulation and so loved Your competence as an airplane secures my place For more experiences with you Will you invite me onboard?
Your Spirit
When I hear the rain pitter patter against my window sill I will hear your words of wisdom And will remember what you taught me so well’ That without rain trees cannot grow Without rain flowers cannot bloom Without life’s challenges I cannot grow strong. When I look out to the sea I will think of your endless love for your family.
Ben was always a worker He had an amazing work ethic, always striving for perfection, and was well respected among his peers. He started working for local farmers-CY Ranch & Buff Lumber at 14 years old and later for Scott McLeod, working seasonally until he graduated from high school. He then worked at the Monte Lake mill (formerly Paxton) for a year before he started his logging career in Penticton Ben loved working in the bush. He worked in the forest industry throughout the BC interior, on the coast and on the island from 2005 to 2018; ten years of that with Stamer Logging in Barriere. He never could find the right fit after his tenure with Stamer and that’s when he started working on the railroad in 2018. Always up for a challenge and something new, Ben was thrilled and embraced operating enormous pieces of machinery in a different industry, while being surrounded by the majestic mountains of British Columbia. He started working in February 2018 for Cando Rail Services & Brentwood Enterprises Ltd. in Western Canada, ultimately operating an Excavator Hytracker for Jake-Jay Holdings in Revelstoke.
When the sun shining through my window awakens me I will feel the warmth of your love.
Fly Me by Kathy Ruth Manongdo Written on Father’s Day 2010
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.”
He understands every mode of force He knows what’s true of the elements He is subtle but genuine at lift off and landing
A sad farewell to our Ben who passed away unexpectedly in Revelstoke on July 19th, 2022 at the age of 36 years. Ben will be forever loved and remembered by his parents, Teresa Nicol (David Pringle), of Westwold, and Doug Beaver (Penny), of Kamloops. We are so very proud of you son…always have been. Ben will also be lovingly remembered by his family, Grandma Gloria Lorraine Beaver (93 years old) of Kamloops, brothers and only sister: Dayna Beaver-Kamloops, Colt Smith (Angela)-Calgary, Joel Beaver-Kamloops, Cassidy Beaver-Nicol (Sasha Vasylega)Westwold, Elijah Beaver -Vancouver, Jared Pringle (Keyanna Ruddell)Edmonton, and step-siblings, Kyle Pringle (Sarah)-Vancouver, Alyssa Seitz (Kyle)Calgary, and Kayla Pringle (Jon Turk)Calgary; nieces and nephews-Canaan, Margaret, Adelina, Abigail, Kseniya & Jackson, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins too numerous to mention, as well as countless friends.
Am I your passenger? Am I your wingman? Am I your baggage? Am I your well oiled engine? Am I your wing? Am I your lift in the air? Am I your propeller that thrusts you to a new dimension?
When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely I will know it is you assuring me you are free from pain.
Psalms 91:4 says, “He shall cover you with His feathers, And under his wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler”

It was during a 2007 visit to Columbia with a friend that Pooley said he was struck with the idea of helping others. Sitting in an outdoor cafe in Battambang, Pooley struck up a conversation with a then-20-year-old barefoot woman named Salorm Tak. “That conversation changed my life,” Pooley recalled. “I had a newHefriend.”learned her salary was $20 a month and decided to help her.

Pooley said money raised from collecting cans and bottles goes to directly support children and their families in Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and South Africa. Pooley tells of helping a Vietnam family in 2015 who had a sick child in the hospital, which created a huge medical bill. The parents borrowed money to pay the bill, but were saddled with the debt, only paying the interest as they saw no way of paying off the loan.Pooley said, he fundraised hard for six months and was then able to cover their debt.

Just days before students returned to classes this week, KTW and other media were given a sneak peek at the reopened Ralph Bell elementary in Valleyview. After being one of five Kamloops schools closed in 2010 due to declin ing enrolment, School District 73 staff and board members joined the Sept. 2 tour. Principal Tiffany Hawkins led the group through remodelled classrooms, a learning assistance resource class and an updated library and across a newly waxed gymnasi um floor. Hawkins was clearly happy with all the hard work put in to get the school ready for students and teachers. Hawkins said she has spent the last six months preparing the school for the more than 40 families she has been touring through the school. Outside sits a new playground and daycare spaces, which will be available in 2023.On the facing page is the logo for the school’s nickname — the Bobcats — cho sen by the district, with the art designed by SD73 staffers Kelsey Jules and Cory Edwards.
School District 73 staff pose for a photo together during the Sept. 2 media tour of Ralph Bell elemen tary.

In addiction, we can rarely see beyond the tip of our nose. Everything revolves around “me.”Addiction changes our neurochemistry. It changes who we are, makes us act out of our values and causes great self-hatred and shame.
Zooming into the effective 12 steps

What was I to do with those overwhelmingly horrible feelings and thoughts when I had no recourse to escape or forget, as I did when using alcohol and drugs.? This is why a program is needed, because without this, anyone who does “just quit” with out doing some work is doomed to relapse — or worse. The program gives freedom by asking us to look directly at self, with help and loving guid ance from knowing others, Nowhere else can a person get free, no strings attached assistance based upon decades of wisdom and experience likeSomethis. react to the 12 steps by mistakenly thinking it is religious, which is a huge mistaken. I need to always reiterate this thought because the belief about religion is truly “fake news.” Sadly, though, one nurse took his case to court, based upon this argument, and won.He was a nurse in B.C. who was being monitored and thereby man dated to hismeetingsattendtoensurepracticewas safe. Sadly, his addiction had truly damaged his brain as he refused and decided to take his issue to court. His lawyer, based on misinformation, argued the 12 steps went against his client’s religious freedoms. Somehow, this nurse and lawyer won their case. Our literature claims those with addiction issues are egomaniacs with an inferiority com plex — a dangerous combination when not adequately addressed. We run on our own will, thinking we know it all. For me, this was certain ly true when I was sick with my disease (even after I had quit, as I did not adequately work a program back then). Without recovery, without deliberately changing my brain via creating new neural pathways, the sick, disturbed, deluded addiction pathways remained, even after substance use ended.Twelve steps, SMART (self-management and recovery training) recovery and other programs help retrain the brain. The brain is neuroplas tic and can be reprogrammed, but it needs constant, concerted effort and daily, repetitive dedication. Thisdoes not happen overnight because, remember, we are dealing with decades of daily chemical abuse. The addiction pathways — which change, warping our thinking and our perceptions about life — are well ingrained and thus a daily program is necessary to truly change.Today, due to everyday practice — which entails steps 10, 11, and 12, the maintenance steps — I am living a life beyond my wildest dreams. I am free, free, finally free. I am happy, snappy and joyous, For anyone afraid to attend face-to face meetings in the community due to the stigma and fear, I highly recommend searching online for “Zoom recovery.” You can attend, even without using your photo or real name. If you decide you want peace and serenity, I invite you to join in this recovery road, where you will find new freedom and an incredible new destiny beyond your wildest dreams.
When I did what I did when using, I hated myself, so in order to escape these horrible feelings about myself, I had to use more, which then caused only more self hatred and pain. It became a vicious, ines capable, down wardThespiral.reason I could not “just quit” was due to the centredandhatred,self-loathing,immenseguiltself-shame.

I know people who have two years of continuous sobriety via only attending meetings on Zoom. These people have never had to leave their homes to attend a single face-to-face meeting. Their entire clean and sober time was done virtually, which would have been thought impossible in pre-pandemic years.Zoom is an incredible way to open new recovery doors. People like me, when they first try to find recovery, are often afraid of being discovered for their alcoholism or addiction and thereby reticent to enter community rooms. One of my thoughts when first physically attending meetings was, “What if I see someone I know?” This is now amusing to me because if I did see someone there I knew, it would only con firm they were facing similar issues.

The Old aboutinmany42:1-4prophecyTestamentofIsaiahisoneofpropheciesIsaiahthataretheperson and work of Jesus Christ. The four verses at the beginning of Isaiah, chapter 42 introduce us, by the declaration of God, to “Behold My Servant”. Then, in the New Testament in Philippians 2:7, it is written of Jesus that he “took upon him the form of a servant”. In the word “form” there is the idea of character or nature. Nevertheless, we are left with no doubt that when God’s son left heaven to come into the world, he did not come to be served, but to serve. This brings to mind one of the times when Jesus displayed the character of a servant in John 13:4-17. It was at the Passover meal that Jesus took a towel and washed the disciples’ feet. He then spoke to them of the les sons he was teaching to them at that time. One of the things he spoke to his disciples about was his example of his taking the place of a servant. Now, to get to the servant who healed another’s servant. In the Bible, in Luke 7:110, we read that Jesus entered into Capernaum. There was a certain centurion’s servant who was dear to him. The servant was sick and ready to die. When the centurion heard of Jesus being in the area, he sent the elders of the Jews, beseeching Jesus to come and heal his servant.When the elders of the Jews came to Jesus, they pleaded with him to come right away. The elders told Jesus that this centurion had done some very kind things for the Jewish people in Capernaum. Then we read that Jesus went with them to see the servant. While they were in the way and coming close, the centurion sent friends to tell Jesus that he was not worthy for the Lord to come into his home. And that neither was he worthy to come before Jesus, either. To this, Jesus responded that he had not seen so great faith, no, not in Israel. A centurion is a Roman soldier who commanded 100 men and had authority given to him from Caesar. The Romans were ruling this little country of Israel. The Israelites were given some liberties, but were at that time subject to Rome. There were some of the Roman authorities who were friendly with the Jews, but there were some who were ruthless. Now, in these circumstances was what the son of God found to be the structure of the Jewish lot of those times. It was one of the many factors that Jesus had to take into consideration as he taught the people and did his Father’s will. Jesus was kin and willing to help all people, so he found doors of opportunity open to him for service. Luke 7:10 ends the account with “they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick”. We’re not told that the cen turion trusted Christ as his own personal saviour, nor are we told more about the servant that was healed. But we are told more about the other servant who healed the centurion’s servant.Itissaid of God’s servant in Philippians 2:7-9, “But (he) made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.”
