XERISCAPING Xeriscaping is water conservation through creative landscaping. The principles of xeriscaping can be applied to any landscape style and can be as plain or elaborate as you would like. The term is pronounced "zair-i-scape". The most significant benefit of xeriscaping is reduced water use. In fact, xeriscaping requires 50% (or less) water than a traditional landscape. Even better, xeriscaping usually requires less fertilizer, less pruning, and less mowing. Why should you Xeriscape? The average Canadian uses 326 L of water per day. The average Kamloops resident uses about 800–850 L of water per day. In the summer, that number rises to 1,800 L of water per person, per day! During the summer, 80% of the water consumed is used outdoors to water grass, hose driveways, and wash vehicles. A successful xeriscape requires a well thought out plan. Identify the conditions that will influence water use, such as sun and wind exposure and slopes. Group low water use plants together and high water use plants together, and water them separately. Learn more tips on how to create your xeriscape at: Kamloops.ca/Xeriscape

Cyclist remains in ICU after collision MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man is fighting for his life in an intensive care unit in Vancouver a month after he was struck by a vehicle while bicycling down Highland Road from Juniper Ridge. On May 11, emergency personnel were called to a utility access road off Highland Road — the busy route that connects Valleyview and Juniper Ridge — at about 3 p.m. after a water truck collided with a cyclist. The cyclist and father of two, Kamloops resident Andrew van der Westhuizen, was taken to hospital with broken ribs, internal injuries and a concussion. His wife, Jen van der Westhuizen, is now calling for better safety measures on Highland Road and added access to Juniper, while laud-
ing the medical care and multiple blood donations her husband has received as he remains in the ICU. Jen told KTW she was out for a bike ride with her husband and in-laws, all headed northbound and downhill on the multi-use path alongside Highland Road from their West Juniper home when the crash occurred. The family was going to the bus stop at the bottom of the hill to pick up the van der Westhuizen’s six-year-old daughter after school. Jen left a few minutes ahead of her husband and her in-laws — her two-year-old son along for the ride — to be on time to meet her daughter. Andrew and his parents were expected to meet them there. When they didn’t arrive and Jen heard that a crash occurred up Highland Road, she assumed her husband, a radiologist at Royal
Inland Hospital, and in-laws, who are also doctors, had stopped to render assistance. She called all three, none of whom answered, but soon got a return call from her father-in-law, who explained Andrew had been in the accident. He was airlifted to hospital in Vancouver that night. SAFETY ISSUES ON JUNIPER BIKE PATH DUE TO TRUCK ROUTE Jen learned the trio had been travelling down the multi-use path when the driver of a water truck from Juniper West Developments travelling in the same direction crossed into Andrew’s path when the vehicle turned right into a dump site off Highland Road.

A call for flaggers amid truck traffic on Highland From A5
“Unfortunately, it was just imperfect timing where the truck obviously didn’t see him and Andrew didn’t stop in time — and then they collided,” Jen said. His parents had been riding a bit behind his bike and were able to stop in time. Jen said while it was traumatic for them to witness the crash, she is grateful they were there to help their son. Highland Road has four lanes — two uphill/southbound to Juniper and two downhill/northbound to Valleyview — but the easternmost northbound lane is blocked by a series of concrete barriers, creating a multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists. However, there is a break in the barriers to property off Highland Road, where trucks have been dumping excess dirt from residential construction sites, meaning vehicles are often crossing over the multi-use path to enter and exit that site. Jen described the multi-use path as the safest in town, if not for the

truck traffic. “We watch them all the time. Our house has a perfect view of the site, so we watch them turning into it all the time,” she said. “It’s a constant construction site crossing
over an otherwise perfectly safe bike lane.” She believes having flaggers in the area would improve safety as an extra set of eyes for truck drivers accessing the site. “I’m not sure why that site is there. As far as I’ve been able to glean, it’s just a site for them to dump dirt and it doesn’t seem to be a smart place to dump dirt,” Jen said. The other issue, she noted, is that Highland Road is the only access in and out of Juniper — a neighbourhood of thousands of people that is growing, hence the residential construction in the area — leaving only one option for cyclists and vehicles alike. The lone access in and out was put to the test during the July 1, 2021 wildfire that led to residents being evacuated. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn told KTW the crash is still under investigation.
the couple’s young son and daughter in Kamloops and making trips to the Lower Mainland to check in on her husband, who has his parents by his side. Jen said Andrew sustained extensive trauma to his body and organs and has undergone six surgeries on his abdomen following the accident. She said he remains on life support as he tries to heal and overcome his injuries. While Andrew has been conscious for about two weeks, Jen said he still cannot talk as he has a tracheostomy tube helping him breathe. She said Andrew had extensive internal injuries. Though he broke most of his ribs in the crash, his limbs and pelvis were intact and, while he suffered a concussion, his helmet saved his life, Jen said. Andrew has received at least 26 units of blood from 26 anonymous donors, to whom Jen said she is very thankful. She asked that people, if they are able, register to be blood and organ donors. Jen said her two-year-old son has had a hard time being home

without his dad, but their six-yearold daughter has been resilient. “We definitely have a lot of conversations about missing daddy,” Jen said. “She’s been able to see him once on FaceTime. We had to prep her because he has tubes and machines and he’s not able to talk to us. That was heartbreaking, but she did really well.” The family has called Kamloops home for a year, having lived in the Lower Mainland for years. Jen has hope Andrew will be able to resume his previous quality of life, but there are still many obstacles to overcome. “He still has a lot of healing to do and there’s still some concern on some of his organs,” Jen said, adding that Andrew has just 35 per cent of his liver left after doctors removed the damaged portion. The human liver regenerates, but Jen said doctors are not confident what remains will be able to and Andrew many need a transplant. “We’re still not out of the woods and we don’t have any long-term plans at this point because he’s still kind of up and down,” she said.

What is an Easement? An easement is a legal right to use someone else’s property for a specific purpose. Typically, an easement is registered against the land it applies to, with terms signed by all property owners involved. A registered easement could impede where you want to install a garden, a retaining wall or a fence, so check your land title before starting a new project. If you have questions, we’re here to help.

This fraudulent $50 bill found its way into the till at Desert Hemp Hut downtown. LOIS PETCH PHOTO
A fake $50 mystery JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A small business owner is out cash and product after unknowingly accepting a fake $50 bill she believes may have come from a film set. Lois Petch, owner of the Hemp Hut on Fourth Avenue downtown, was annoyed to realize that she unwittingly accepted the fake bill at her store on June 9. “I’m just the little guy, you know?” Petch said. It’s unclear if, in fact, the fake bill came from a local film set or if the person said to have used it was actually working locally on a movie, but the person who used the bill indicated he was, Petch told KTW. She said she was busy at the time of the transaction when a man entered her store and bought a small item that required change. “He was on his radio and I was like, ‘Oh, film crew guy,’ and he was like, ‘Yup’ and that was kind of it,” Petch said. She said she runs the store herself and, while she accepted a couple of other $50 bills last week, she recalled the fake bill coming from the June 9 transaction, noting her operation is small, can be slow and she keeps track of everything. Petch said the fake fifty wasn’t caught until she went to deposit the contents of her cash register at the bank
on June 10. She then posted a photo of the note to social media. The phoney bill looks strikingly similar to the real deal, with just a few details giving it away. The top left of the note is misspelled “Canad” instead of “Canada” and the clear strip on the right side appears white. On the left side, which would ordinarily state “fifty dollars” in both official languages, it instead reads “This Note Is Not Legal Tender.” Petch told KTW the note also has the words “film production” on the back. She said she didn’t reach out to the police, as she figures they would just confiscate the bill. Instead she was hoping she could track down the film company the bill belonged to and exchange it for a real one. After making some calls, however, Petch said she ran into a dead end. “I’m at a point now though … I’ve written it off,” she said, noting this wasn’t the first time she’s been passed a fake bill. If the $50 did come from a film set somewhere, Petch feels such realistic-looking movie money should be locked up better to ensure it doesn’t get into circulation. Thompson-Nicola Film Commission film commissioner Vicci Weller told KTW just one production was filming in Kamloops last week — a movie called The Loving Spoonful by Champlain Media West.
Country singer Reba McEntire was also filming a movie recently in Merritt. The Loving Spoonful producer, Cjay Boisclair of Askem Productions, said she spoke with Petch and noted both films are American productions and wouldn’t have used Canadian cash. “I’m really lost as to who it would be,” Boisclair said, adding most film productions in Kamloops are U.S.-based. She said legal tender cannot be used on screen, noting fake notes used have size restrictions and certain features of a bill have to be changed. Peter Cameron-Inglis, CEO of Mastermind Studios in Kamloops, said his company is not involved in any productions filming in Kamloops at the moment, but noted the studio was involved in about 65 per cent of all film production days in the entire Thompson-Nicola Regional District last year. He wasn’t sure of any productions that may have used fake Canadian cash, adding that as per general copyright law, real currency can generally be used in quick instances that don’t show the markings and symbols of the bill on screen. “I cannot think of any of the productions that we’ve done that required props to use any cash or money,” CameronInglis said.

Stable government funds help TRU
E
very year, B.C.’s standing committee on finance and government services tours the province and meets with stakeholders as the government considers future budgets. And every year, TRU offers its ideas for funding priorities that government should think about. TRU had its five minutes with the committee last week, during which we offered three recommendations for government to ponder. I emphasized for the committee that stable funding allows TRU to offer flexible, innovative and responsive programs for students, which helps meet community needs. Here is a summary of the recommendations we made:
BRETT FAIRBAIRN View From

funding through provincial grants to cover negotiated increases, as it has in the past. External pressures (high inflation, pandemic recovery, work from home expectations, etc.) this time around could see larger increases to contract settlements than in previous years. If PSIs such as TRU must cover negotiated increases from other sources of revenue, our ability to provide mission-critical service will be put at risk. TRU values being a publicly supported university, and strong, stable operating grants from the province are central to this. TRU needs the province’s full support to carry out our mission.
FUNDING STABILITY Stable, transparent and predictable public funding enables universities to plan to meet regional and provincial needs. We ask the province to continue past practice of funding negotiated contract and wage increases so we can hire and retain a full and productive complement of faculty and staff. Provincial block funding has long been and will continue to be a significant, stable source of revenue for B.C.’s post-secondary institutions (PSIs). This year, TRU is in negotiations with three unions (TRU faculty, Open Learning faculty and support staff) and expect resulting agreements to add to our operational demands. It is our hope the province will continue to provide additional
GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH B.C. and the Interior face critical talent shortages, particularly for graduates with specialized and professional training at the master’s level and above. We ask the province to invest in graduate students, programs and research that meet community Robert W. Doull President/Publisher President Aberdeen Publishing Inc.

needs and the needs of provincial economic growth initiatives. Graduate-level students play critical roles in B.C. and Interior communities in fields such as health sciences, data science, environmental science, business leadership and education leadership. Our businesses, not-for-profits and public institutions need these specialized skills to adapt to economic, social and climate change. TRU recently announced a new master of arts in humans rights and social justice program, the development of which was selffunded. Also, our School of Law was created without any corresponding increase in government support. Creating advanced programs with government support would help PSIs develop professional programs that meet market and student demand. Regarding research, TRU has worked hard over the past several years to develop our capacity for important community-based research. TRU professors are involved in research in areas such as natural disaster response and wildfire science, land reclamation,
Indigenous wellness, early childhood education, homelessness and the opioid epidemic. Initiatives that support graduate programs, students and faculty will be aided by targeted funding from the province. Our emphasis is on transforming knowledge into community action. TARGETED INVESTMENTS IN PAN-PROVINCIAL PRIORITIES Across B.C., institutions are working on key challenges such as regional development, a clean economy, mental health, climate adaptation and reconciliation. We ask the province to dedicate funds to enable universities to have real impact in these or other priority areas. Universities are often at the forefront of societal growth and change and discussion of the need for new programs, support and services related to regional economic development, a clean economy, climate adaptation, mental health, sustainability, accessibility and Indigenous reconciliation often emerge on campuses. However, costs related to the
implementation of such programs and services have grown dramatically, as they often require more staff, faculty advisors, counsellors and other support professionals. No change to base grants has been made to account for these expenditures. We see tremendous opportunity for PSIs to do even more work in these critical, socially important areas in the future, but doing so will require support from the province.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CITY’S MISLEADING HERBICIDE DATA CRIME IS GETTING WORSE IN THE CITY Editor: KTW’s recent story regarding a decrease in thefts from vehicles is hard to believe. Perhaps reported thefts from vehicles is down, but crime is getting worse in Kamloops. We all see it and we all hear about it. We need accountability. Kamloops has problems and we need to solve them. We need to get off social media and get to know our neighbours. We need to support each other and local businesses. We need to report all crimes, regardless of how minor they might seem. Crime is crime. Let’s come up with local solutions to solving these prob-
lems. Governments don’t solve our problems — we do. We need local initiatives, local ideas and local programs. If the government was solving our problems, things would be getting better and it is obvious they are not. If you have an idea, put it out there. It is going to take some creative thinking and a community effort with an attitude change to make things better. The big picture is that crime is getting worse in Kamloops, not better. Kamloops is our community, so let’s make it what we want. Get out and vote on Oct. 15. Stephen Karpuk Kamloops
Editor: Re: KTW’s story of June 7 (‘City of Kamloops says herbicide use is decreasing’): The article quotes city staffer Kirsten Wourms as saying the city has been testing different techniques to limit the use of herbicides, noting that in a two-year span, the amount of glyphosate used has decreased by 20 litres — moving from 37.9 litres used in 2019 to 17.5 litres in 2021. Wourms suggests this reduction is part of a downward trend in city herbicide use between 2019 and 2021. However, in 2020, Kamloops used 53 litres of glyphosate on city sports fields, roadsides and other public areas. In fact, the city’s overall herbicide use rose from 94.28 kgai
CLEAN UP THE MESS
(kilograms of active ingredient) in 2018 to 204.49 kgai in 2019 and then again to 343.18 kgai in 2020. Last year saw the city use 290.72 kgai, down from 2020 levels, but still much higher than levels in 2018 and 2019. This suggests that glyphosate and overall herbicide reduction is not a trend. Wourms also said “The reason for that is that glyphosate is considered one of the least toxic products that we could use.” In fact, the World Health Organization just upgraded glyphosate to a probable cancer causer and there are many less-toxic alternatives, as listed online at naturepest.com. Also, it is important to note that when the city uses glyphosate (or any herbicide) on hard surfaces, it does not post any public signage to

that effect. In 2021, the city sprayed hard surfaces at bus stops, roadsides, utilities and parks, including McDonald Park, Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre, the former Stuart Wood elementary, Pioneer Park and all city tennis courts. Though the city is not required by provincial law to post such areas, it was asked last year to do so due to high pedestrian traffic in such areas. The city declined to do so. It is hoped that Kamloops’ 2022 herbicide use, for which the report will be available to the public in early 2023, will show a further decrease in the use of glyphosate and 2,4-D, particularly in pool and park areas, where children play and run barefoot.

SD73 SALUTES THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADS OF 2022 Editor: I am proud of SD73 graduates who are coming from every community across our district. Each graduate deserves to be recognized and celebrated for their many accomplishments. Graduates were challenged in unforeseen ways throughout the global pandemic. I am so proud of each of you for persisting through these challenges. You have adapted to changing learning environments and become more resilient as you overcame obstacles to reach your goals. I have been lucky enough to be a coach and I know that reaching your many goals required more

than talent. It required commitment to practice, the ability to take feedback and see it as constructive (a skill in itself that will serve you well in life), to act on the feedback and, most importantly, to never give up on yourself. You have made many friends and mentors in your high school
years and my hope for you is that you continue to grow these friendships and take on new challenges to learn and grow. On behalf of the KamloopsThompsin board of education, congratulations, and we stand in awe and immense gratitude for your commitment to yourselves and to those who stood by you. Heather Grieve chair, Kamloops-Thompson board of education Editor: As we take these next few weeks to celebrate the graduating students in each school within School District 73, I am struck by
not only their academic achievements, but their many personal successes. So many of you have been on multiple sports teams — soccer, rugby, volleyball, basketball and hockey, to name a few. You have also shared your talents in the fine arts through band, art and drama. Importantly, you gave back through volunteer roles in schools and in the community, with Big Brothers Big Sisters, 4-H clubs and Habitat for Humanity being examples. I thank each of you for your persistence in developing who you are and who you are meant to become.
I hope you continue to visit and share your life moments as you enter post-secondary programs, start careers and go on life ventures, such as international travel. There are so many people who have come to care about you and who take an interest in what you will do next. On behalf of the superintendent’s office and administration, thank you to the parents, family members, friends and staff members who stood by this class of 2022 and to the graduates for all you have accomplished. Rhonda Nixon superintendent, KamloopsThompson school district
PLEASE, CITY OF KAMLOOPS, SHED SOME LIGHT ON PIONEER Editor: The City of Kamloops needs to install more lighting in Pioneer Park and update existing lights to something brighter. As it stands, it’s quite hard to see inside the park when it’s dark. Over the past year, there has been
more noise, groups of people and parties in the park after 10 p.m. compared to before. On a few occasions recently, multiple units of community service and Kamloops RCMP officers have been called to disperse large, scattered, angry crowds.
These gatherings have also led to people being assaulted and arrests being made. Something needs to be done. The city’s community services officers can only do so much and calling the police — which is only a stop-gap measure anyway — just takes valuable
resources away from the detachment, Having bright lights throughout the park would deter after-hour mischief and other growing nuisances. Sarah Walker Kamloops
Kamloops Tomorrow:
BOOM BUSINESS SOLUTIONS IS THE BUSINESS
L
et’s talk about Kamloops, actually, let’s talk about the future of Kamloops. Our team is connecting with innovative entrepreneurs from the Thompson Valley who are paving the way for a diverse, inclusive and sustainable future to discuss the River City and what we need to tackle today to create the Kamloops of tomorrow. Welcome to Kamloops Tomorrow. We had the opportunity to sit down and chat about SMEs with Boom Business Solutions’ Roxanne Kennedy (Founder and CEO) and Joanna McKameyMartin (Director of Human Resources). Boom Business Solutions is proud to be located in Kamloops, where its team provides Digital Marketing, Human Resources Consulting (under the Boom People Solutions umbrella), Graphic Design, and customized Virtual Assistance to small businesses and entrepreneurs throughout BC. Interview questions answered by Roxanne Kennedy and Joanna McKamey-Martin. Interview conducted by Nic Zdunich.
People that own small and medium-sized enterprises/ businesses (SMEs) often wear many hats within the organization. How does Boom fit into the equation? Roxanne: Boom is here to be an extension of your team. SME owners often don’t have the budget to hire someone full time to help with the tasks they need to complete, nor do they have the time or expertise to do it all themselves. That’s where we come in. The Boom team is here to help with your business needs when you need it and hang out on the proverbial back burner when you don’t. Our combined 25 years of experience in tourism, construction, municipalities and mining give us a wide range of knowledge and expertise to help any SME with all of its specific business needs.
These social platforms can build your audience and brand awareness with organic (posting without money behind the posts) reach, unlike Facebook and Instagram, which now require paid ads to reach a larger audience. Don’t get me wrong—it’s important to continue creating organic content for Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) as well, but your mindset should change about this content. Think of this organic content as a digital ‘business portfolio’ for the world to see. Current statistics show that approximately 1% of your followers see your content in their feed when you post organically because the Meta platforms have so many users and so much content worldwide. LinkedIn and TikTok are still ‘newer’ platforms, and their algorithms will reward you for posting often by showing your content to a wider audience.
When is it time for a business to reach out to Boom? Roxanne: Whenever they have a project, problem, or monthly tasks they need a hand with. We customize service packages to meet each client’s specific needs. Boom requires no monthly retainer and instead charges an hourly rate. There is no commitment fee and no certain amount of spend per month—just call on us when you need a hand. While being proactive is the best business approach, it’s inevitable that at some point, companies/managers will find themselves stuck in a situation that they don’t know how to get out of. That is just part of the entrepreneurial adventure. At those times, Boom is here to support you with your marketing, administrative, and Human Resource issues in a judgment-free and thoughtful way.
You’ve recently expanded to offer HR services. What advice do you have for small businesses that are currently experiencing labour shortages? How do we not only recruit, but retain employees? Joanna: Labour shortages are a nation-wide problem that is affecting every industry. Retention is critical. The solution is straightforward — invest as much in your employees as you want them to invest in you. Learn what motivates them, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and lead them based on those factors. There is no ‘one size fits all’ strategy when it comes to management. Everyone is unique and worthy of you discovering their uniqueness. Will it pay off every time? No. But it will create a great working environment and empower the majority of your team. Employee retention is based on your ability to celebrate each employee’s unique skill set and work style, not the other way around.
The way that we do business continues to evolve and change dramatically.What are some emerging trends that excite you? Roxanne: Being your true authentic self. I love the path that brands and influencers are taking. Highlight reels that showcase a perfect life are being replaced with a more accurate, and sometimes messy, reflection of reality. Authenticity is one of the core values of Boom and we ensure we are our true, genuine selves with every client we work with. Joanna: Diversity and inclusion! It’s exciting to finally see organizations promoting and celebrating a diverse workforce. What is the one thing that all businesses should be doing, but no one is currently doing? Roxanne: I wouldn’t say no one is doing it, but many more businesses could be : creating and posting a TON of content on TikTok and LinkedIn.
We often hear people talk about great corporate cultures. What is a great corporate culture? Does that have a role to play in retention? Joanna: Some think that a great corporate culture is the company’s support to the community in which they operate. For example, food drives, donations, scholarships, etc. In my opinion, a great corporate culture is one that supports its employees so fiercely that they are motivated to give back to their community. It’s not about PR; it is about showing your genuine appreciation of the people that are part of your company. Appreciation from an employer is so powerful because it meets more than one level on a person’s hierarchy of needs and can make a person feel more fulfilled in their work life. This creates a great environment at work and plays a role in retention, because a happy employee is less likely to go in search of a new job.

Police: probe into homicide ‘unprecedented’ JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The city’s top cop is describing the investigation into the murder of Mohd Abdullah as “very complex” and “unprecedented,” due to a man charged in connection with the death being a practising lawyer. Kamloops lawyer Rogelio Butch Bagabuyo, 54, has been charged with interference with a dead body for allegedly placing the body of Abdullah, 60, in a plastic bin. He has since been released on bail and is scheduled to return to court on June 16 to consult legal counsel. Details of his bail hearing cannot be published due to a court-ordered publication ban. While police believe Abdullah was the victim of a homicide, no murder charges have yet been laid. The investigation, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Sad Lecky said, has included the hiring of a judicial referee to protect sensitive legal information of clients of Bagabuyo. Abdullah, a Thompson Rivers
BUTCH BAGABUYO
MOHD ABDULLAH
University employee, was found dead in a vehicle outside a home at Monteray Place in Dufferin on March 17. Abdullah was last heard from on March 11 and was reported missing after failing to show up for work March 14 at TRU, where he was a senior lecturer in the computing science department. A memorial service for Abdullah was held on June 5 at the university. Lecky spoke about progress of the investigation during a June 9 meeting with the city’s community services committee. “That was, is and continues to be a very complex investigation, the
likes of which we haven’t seen in this province, certainly not in this city, because the accused in this matter, as you know, is a practising lawyer who was charged and the complications that are related to that from the judicial services needs are significant, expensive and, needless to say, very complex,” Lecky told the committee, which includes three city councillors. “This is an unprecedented investigation for us, but it is progressing very well.” Lecky said the Kamloops RCMP has received support for the investigation, noting a “judicial referee” was required.
“Because the individual being investigated is a lawyer, a practising lawyer, the law society and the courts have to give it particular scrutiny,” he said. “And because, when we would have access if we had to search crime scenes and/or potential crime scenes, including perhaps a law office, there’s a lot of information there that people would be very sensitive to that police would have access to. So, we have a judicial referee who was hired to oversee that process and review the material that we would be looking at to see if it’s something relevant or not.” Lecky said the investigation also includes digital storage devices and more. He called it a “very labourintensive process.” Lecky said cost of the judicial referee has been covered by the the province’s RCMP headquarters, known as E Division. Lecky said Kamloops RCMP was, however, responsible for scene security, which occurred over three weeks at two locations — Bagabuyo’s downtown law office and his
Columbia Street home in Sagebrush, both of which had police officers and vehicles stationed outside. Lecky said it will take more time to complete the investigation. “You can expect to see this in the not only months, but years to follow,” Lecky said. Kamloops Mounties have asked the public for information regarding a white, 2020 GMC Budget rental van that was parked outside 1649 Monterey Pl. in Dufferin in midMarch. Neighbours told KTW the van didn’t belong to the people who lived at that address and that it had only been parked there a few days prior to police attending the scene. Abdullah’s daughter, Sarah Jeet Lalata-Buco, 26, told KTW from the Philippines that Bagabuyo was her father’s lawyer, as well as a trusted friend and confidant. She said her father would often talk about Bagabuyo when Abdullah visited her in the Philippines, noting her father had sought Bagabuyo’s advice about her potentially immigrating to Canada about five years ago.
Should I Defer Property Taxes? The Canadian real estate market has been red hot as of late. As property values rise, often so do city assessments which can means more property taxes. As our grandfather used to say, "Sometimes that's the way it goes." With property taxes due soon, we were recently asked the question, "Should I defer my property taxes?" As often is the case, the answer is, "It depends."
If you meet all these criteria and application deadlines (refer to gov.bc.ca for full details), you can defer property taxes on your home. Interest is charged at a nominal rate that is set every six months by the Minister of Finance. As at June 1, 2022 it was only 0.45%.
You are a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident (as per the Government of Canada Definition);
2.
You have lived in B.C. for at least one year prior to applying for property tax deferral;
3.
You currently live in the home for which you are paying property taxes;
4.
You are 55 years of age or older OR a surviving spouse OR a person with disabilities; and
5.
You have a minimum of 25% equity in your home based on B.C. assessment values.

Why defer? 1.
You are tight on cash flow: Many seniors have limited income and deferring taxes can alleviate financial pressure and allow you to redirect funds elsewhere.
2.
You are depleting retirement assets quicker than anticipated to pay property taxes. By deferring taxes, this can stretch out the potential life of a retirement portfolio.
3.
Better returns from CPP: If you needed to draw on the Canada Pension Plan early to cover taxes, the reduction is 7.2% per year versus the cost of deferring taxes currently at 0.45%. Based on this scenario, it could make sense to defer taxes.
As an overview, the province of B.C. allows homeowners to defer their property taxes if the following criteria are met: 1.
freed up cash to pay the cost of the policy. Assuming he lives to age 85, a tax-free payout of $200,000 could go to his wife, children, etc. This results in an after-tax return of $131,360.
4.
You want to invest: Deferring taxes and moving these funds into a Tax Free Savings Account may generate greater returns and avoids probate and income taxes. Technically this is a form of borrowing to invest, which is considered higher risk and would need to make sense for your personal situation. Another example: Using the city's online property tax estimator (kamloops.ca), the average assessed home value is $631,670 and average property tax is $3,750 before grants. Let's say a 65-year-old male non-smoker takes this and applies for a $200,000 term life insurance policy. A quick internet search using winquote.net offers an approximate annual cost of $3,432. He could use this
TD Wealth Private Investment Advice
You want access to some equity in your home without selling or applying for a line of credit. Keep in mind you are freeing up your existing cash, and not getting any extra money.
Why not defer? 1.
You are debt-adverse: The province will register a lien on your home and ensure they get paid back down the road. Some are ok with this, others are not.
2.
You have ample cash flow and don't plan on spending it: Why defer taxes only to let it sit in your bank account earning zilch or close to it? Arguably if you are deferring taxes, you should use it in some regard.
3.
Keep things simple. Not just for yourself, but the extra paperwork, time and effort an executor could need to deal with this may be worth taking into consideration.
4.
Leave more for your estate: By paying taxes annually, you keep the value of your residence intact, which could benefit your estate and heirs.
These are just a few quick points to both sides of the argument. As always, the best course of action will depend on your own circumstances. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well. Written by Keith

Her pencil work and her conceptual art, it was so beyond somebody her age. It was just crazy and that’s why we spurred her to go to Alberta College of Art and Design.” Angela graduated from the college, specializing in silversmithing, “And then she had a series of what I would call tragic events,” McHugh said. “Here’s where I think it went really wrong.”

bout a month before she died in Kamloops, Angela Dalton spoke by phone with her mom, Maureen McHugh, who lives in the Calgary area. “I said, ‘Honey, when are you going to give up the one thing to get back everything?’” McHugh recounted to KTW. “And she said, ‘I already tried that.’ I don’t think she did. And between that conversation and her passing, I thought, “I need to go out there.’” On March 30, Angela, 33, died of a drug overdose while in the washroom of the Winners store in Kamloops. Her death was the final sad chapter in a devastating story of a woman who had a gilded upbringing on a prosperous southern Alberta ranch, only to experience a series of traumatic episodes and suffer mental illness and addiction and wind up living on the streets of Kamloops. Angela was one of 11 homeless individuals profiled earlier this year by Kamloops This Week in a series that involved interviews by university student Karina Laitres and KTW photographer Dave Eagles. GROWING UP ON A RANCH The story of the life and death of Angela Dalton is one that illustrates one can have access to every material want growing up, yet still end up without that most essential of material needs — a home. When Angela spoke with KTW,
Angela Dalton loved horses, having grown up around them on an Alberta ranch and having competed in rodeo events. Mom Maureen McHugh said this is her favourite photo of her late daughter.
she talked about growing up on the ranch, rodeoing and training horses in her free time. She said her parents split up when she was seven years old and that she and her brother were looked after by hired hands on the family’s ranch every day after school, workers who used drugs. Angela said she and her brother “grew up around addicts,” adding that she began using by age 11, with both she and her brother ending up with severe drug addictions. McHugh disputes her daughter’s recollection of that time, explaining she and the kids lived on McHugh’s father’s 350-acre ranch and that the children were cared for by their mother and grandfather. McHugh said she separated from the children’s father when they were preteens, due to his drug use. “It was me, my dad and my kids.
And there were no workers on that ranch. I was the worker. I would come home after I was done my job with GM, then I would look after the cattle and the horses and all that stuff and run through my dad’s day, still trying to keep those kids,” McHugh said. “But while I worked in the dealership in Okotoks, when my dad wasn’t available to take them, they would hop on the bus and come to my place of work. And my co-workers knew well my kids because they were dropped off two or three times a week and they’d go upstairs to the coffee room and do their homework. And I could check and help them all that stuff, then I would drive them home.” McHugh said her daughter had the opportunity to become talented in various fields, including rodeo,

LOSSES PILED UP When Angela was 19, she moved off the ranch east of Okotoks to live in Calgary with her boyfriend. While living together, McHugh said, Angela discovered her boyfriend’s father, sick with cancer, deceased in the basement. “She never went got help for that, but I think that was a trauma that you don’t get over,” McHugh said. “He had cancer and he had a tumour in his throat that was inoperable and one morning he didn’t get up.” McHugh said her daughter went downstairs to check on him. “And it was not a pretty sight because he drowned in the blood that burst from that tumour in his throat. She was the one who found him and it was traumatic.” When Angela’s grandfather, then in his late 80s, began to get ill — dementia and diabetes — he had to be moved off the ranch and into a care home. McHugh said that also impacted her daughter, who then began “a separation” between her family
(husband and two children) and McHugh. Add to that postpartum depression following the birth of Angela’s second child and the sale of the 130-year-old family ranch and McHugh said her daughter was in a world of pain. “So, she lost her father-in-law. She she lost the ranch. She was losing her grandfather. And then he died in 2017.” Two years later, on Dec. 31, 2019, Angela’s brother died after being shot in what McHugh said was an accident. He was 33, the same age Angela was when she passed away. When KTW spoke with Angela, she said she began using drugs after the death of her grandfather and after she separated from her husband. She said she was sober for a short time, but relapsed after the death of her brother. DOWNWARD SPIRAL At her grandfather’s funeral, McHugh said, her daughter was in the parking lot, but could not bring herself to come inside. It was then that McHugh suspected Angela had began using drugs to cope with the losses she was experiencing,. “It was just a series of losses in three or four years for her that I don’t think she could handle.” What followed for Angela were job losses and, eventually, leaving her own family and living with others in Calgary amid an environment of drug use. McHugh said she asked her family doctor (and Dalton’s physician) for aid in getting her daughter help, to no avail. CONTINUED ON A13

“She’s not functioning right. She’s not acting like the girl I knew,” McHugh said she told her doctor. “She’s doing things that are totally out of character and she’s living in a shithole with five other people in Calgary. Now she’s left her kids. She needs some help.” McHugh said she was told Angela needed to come forward and ask for that help. “And to me, that’s just wrong.” The spiral continued and Angela ended up homeless, McHugh said, eventually getting kicked out of a Calgary shelter due to using at the facility. Finally, around Family Day in 2021, McHugh said she drove Angela from Calgary to a friend’s cabin in Blind Bay, about 50 minutes east of Kamloops, in an effort to get away from the drug scene in Alberta and plot a way to recovery. McHugh said she hid everything from Angela — her purse, her money, her credit cards and the keys to her one-tonne Dodge pickup truck. But on the fifth day in Blind Bay, Angela found the keys to the truck. “She somehow figured out the keys were under my pillow. I was sleeping on them and she was so stealth,” McHugh said. “She stole my keys. And I woke up at about 7:30, I guess it was, to the sound of my diesel starting up. I ran outside and I just screamed, “No!” And she pulled that truck into gear and just about ran me over. Like, she blazed down the driveway at this cabin like I wasn’t even standing there.” Angela was eventually arrested by police in Kamloops via GPS tracking of the truck. “And they phoned me up and

they said, ‘OK, what do you want us to do with her?’ And I said, ‘Well, you’ve got to throw her in jail. They said, ‘I’m sorry. All we can do is charge her with taking without consent.’ And I begged them to throw her in jail so she could get a dry out there, where she doesn’t know anybody. But they refused.” Instead, Angela was released from custody with a future court date and McHugh’s truck was towed back to Blind Bay, from where she returned to Calgary. “She was crazy,” McHugh said of her daughter’s state of mind that day in Blind Bay. “She tried to run me over. That’s not normal. That’s not normal in any definition of behaviour.” During their time in Blind Bay, McHugh suspects her daughter was using drugs to satisfy her addiction and that the theft of the truck occurred when the drugs ran out. “I don’t know because she was so removed emotionally from me at
this time,” McHugh said. “I mean, I’d cook her toast and eggs in the morning and bring it in and she’d just say, ‘Put it there.’ I don’t know if she ate it. I mean, you can’t make a 32-yearold woman do anything. I was just trying to help her and I’d ask her if everything’s OK and are you going to be able to make it through this or you feeling OK? “And I’m such an idiot because I’m not a drug user and I didn’t know that she had enough drugs to keep her going and probably what the tipping point was on the fifth day is that either she maybe ran out two or three days before and now she needs a fix. And that’s what the con was. I was totally conned by my daughter. I love her to death, I miss her dearly and it makes me cry to think about what happened. But f---, I couldn’t save her.” CHANGES NEEDED NOW Six months later, in August 2021, McHugh said she returned to

Kamloops to look for her daughter, but could not find her. She said Angela called her when she was driving back to Calgary and asked for a ride back to Alberta. “And I actually told her, ‘No. If you’re not going to come to rehab and you’re not going to let me look after you, you can stay here.” From asking for help from the family doctor to imploring police to keep her daughter behind bars to offering help herself, McHugh said there was no way to save Angela. “So, I feel that even though she went to jail for some of her crimes and spent time in there, there’s no help for those people at all — none whatsoever. I’m angry. I’m really angry. I’m even angry at her. I’m still in the anger stage of my grief because it just pissed me off to no end that she did that and threw her life away for drugs. And I could have helped her. I live right here in Claresholm. We have one of the best facilities. I offered her to come here, but she just wouldn’t do it. She didn’t want to do it. She had a lot of losses,

but there’s help for that. There’s all kinds of stuff for that. And I mean, I just don’t understand. I don’t understand how I couldn’t get her help. I don’t understand why she didn’t want help and I guess I just don’t understand that mentality.” While Angela told KTW that “I wouldn’t wish the life of an addict on anyone,” her mother said it was impossible to get her help or convince her to want to get help. If someone has an addiction and/or mental-health issues and needs help, but refuses to seek help, what can be done? “I think what needs to change is, we need to change how we look at mental illness,” McHugh said. “I don’t know how you do it, but she should have been locked up and reprogrammed. And that’s just not an option because in Alberta, you can walk out of any facility. Unless you’re deemed a danger to somebody else, they can’t hold you. That needs to change. I think once you get to the point where you’re not you, you don’t get a say.”

Battery-fuelled fires spark disposal warning of every landfill operator right now,” Michener said. “You ask any landfill operator right now, the one thing they wish they could get a handle on, it’s the challenge of lithium ion batteries getting into the landfill. Residents just don’t understand the risk that those materials pose to operations.” The city’s environmental services manager, Glen Farrow, told KTW lithium ion batteries — including common household batteries, cellphone batteries, scooter batteries and more — are “very flammable,” increasingly common and sometimes
JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A fire last month at the Mission Flats landfill is prompting a warning from the city for residents to properly dispose of batteries and raising questions about products that do not have proper disposal streams. The city’s environmental services supervisor, Allan Michener, said a small fire at the landfill was caused by lithium batteries in an electric scooter. “Lithium batteries are just the bane
without proper disposal avenues. Farrow said the city provides messaging to residents about what they can and cannot toss in the garbage, but it does not have complete control over the city’s 27,000 garbage bins and commercial waste. Fires at the landfill are not uncommon, he said, occurring about once a year and typically doused with dirt. Last year, a landfill fire sent toxic, black smoke into city skies. It was caused by fuel on the pile. Most landfill fires, however, are caused by batteries.
“Often, when we have had these fires, the culprit or the reason for that is certain batteries from cellphones, laptops, scooters, different things like that, that are not being disposed of properly,” Farrow said. He said batteries are hazardous waste and should not be thrown in the garbage. He said the front end of the landfill accepts batteries, along with paint, propane tanks, electronics and metal. If residents are not sure whether they should dispose of an item into the garbage, Farrow said they should search the product via the city’s Waste Wise app, which is available both through the app or in an internet browser. Farrow said some items can be difficult to dispose — and certain batteries, he said, do not have proper readily available disposal options. One option, he said, is taking the item back to where it was purchased. “There’s more and more of that product and, as we begin to manufacture more things, are we truly looking at the big picture and closing that loop and understanding the full life cycle of that product?” Farrow said. “In some cases, I’m not sure.”

Flood threat means extended closure of city boat launches JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Extended closure of city boat launches amid a cool and wet June may not be welcome news to those yearning for summer fun in the sun, but the measure is necessary as the city continues to monitor flood risk in Kamloops. McArthur Island experienced light flooding over the weekend, resulting in closure of a pathway and portions of the disc golf course, and the city is warning of prolonged closure of boat launches, potentially extending beyond the Canada Day long weekend. The BC River Forecast Centre has issued a flood watch for the North and South Thompson river basins. The city’s utility services manager, Greg Wightman, provided a virtual media update on Tuesday (June 14). He said the rivers are rising
and “approaching or exceeding bankfull,” but it is mostly applicable to the “upper reaches of those two systems and not particularly right here in Kamloops.” Wightman said the city continues to monitor the weather. The city has been watching a significant amount of rainfall in the Kootenays, which is adding water to the Shuswap River. Kamloops, however, appears to have dodged that bullet. Light rain is expected this week in the River City, which Wightman described as a “good thing.” The city does not want to see significant rainfall (30 millimetres in 24 hours). “Anything that avoids a significant rainfall is going to be best-case scenario and worst-case scenario would be a large system that brings a heavy rainfall over a period of a day or two anywhere in the South or North Thompson valleys, too,” he said. “It doesn’t have to just be in Kamloops here, obviously.”

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia Tuesday, July 5, 2022 at 11:00am Delta Hotels Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort Harbour Room 100 Harbour Road Victoria, BC V9A 061 The Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) is a publicly accountable, statutory corporation. Established under the Land Title and Survey Authority Act, the LTSA is responsible for operating British Columbia’s land title and survey systems.

Thompson could peak midway next week, Wightman said, and the hope is the South Thompson does not peak at the same time, which remains a possibility. “A little hard to say,” Wightman said, when asked
when the South Thompson could peak. Flood risk is amplified when the two rivers peak simultaneously, as they did in 1972, leading to major flooding. The North Thompson usually peaks in the first week of June, with the South Thompson usually peaking in the third week of the month. “Certainly, the rain that we’re seeing through the Kootenays that is spilling into the Shuswap River is going to increase the levels there and that’s part of what’s pushed that river system to the flood watch, so a little unknown at this point,” Wightman said. “Best guess would be somewhere at the end of the month here, towards the end of June, so hopefully that comes a couple weeks after the North Thompson. But there is definitely potential for the two rivers to synchronize this year.” Wightman said the rivers are expected to stay high for an extended period this year.

Tk’emlúps a recipient of 2022 British Columbia Reconciliation Award THE AWARD RECOGNIZES EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP, INTEGRITY, RESPECT AND COMMITMENT TO FURTHERING RECONCILIATION WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA OR INSPIRED OTHERS TO CONTINUE RECONCILIATION EFFORTS KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc is among six recipients of the 2022 British Columbia Reconciliation Award. The award recognizes six extraordinary individuals and organizations who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, integrity, respect and commitment to furthering reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in British Columbia or inspired others to continue reconciliation efforts. The awards are handed out by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, in partnership with BC Achievement Foundation. Also being honoured alongside Tk’emlúps are: • Kwuntiltunaat, Kim Baird (Tsawwassen); • T’ła’wagila, Chief Bill Cranmer (Alert Bay); • Brendan Eshom (Prince Rupert); • * Atomic Cartoons in partnership with GBH (Vancouver); • DIVERSEcity-Surrey Local Immigration Partnership (Surrey). “Reconciliation builds relationships and bridges the gap between two worlds through the efforts of both Indigenous and nonIndigenous people,” said Cloy-e-iis, Judith Sayers, board member of the BC Achievement Foundation. “By recognizing the truths of past wrongs and showcasing examples of how to make things right, others will be inspired to follow.” The BC Achievement Foundation has several programs honouring excellence and inspiring achievement throughout British Columbia, including the Indigenous Business Award and the Fulmer Award in First Nations Art.
“The 2022 recipients represent elders and youth, partnership and leadership,” B.C. Lt.Gov. Janet Austin said. “They showcase creative ways of educating young generations and new Canadians on the history and culture of Indigenous people, ensuring all are included on the journey of reconciliation.” The lieutenant governor has chosen reconciliation as one of the key priorities of her mandate. The commitment includes participation in promotion of public awareness of the ongoing journey of reconciliation and developing a legacy through the creation of the award. The British Columbia Reconciliation Award draws inspiration from the work of Steven Point [Xw’ l’ qw’l t’l], 28th lieutenant governor of British Columbia and a founder of the award. His hand-carved red cedar canoe, Shxwtitostel, which is on display at the Parliament Buildings, was created as a symbol of reconciliation, with the understanding that “we are all in the same canoe” and must “paddle together” to move forward. In honour of his legacy, this year’s recipients will receive a print of a canoe paddle beaded by Dene and Carrier artist Crystal Behn, who is the Emerging Artist recipient of the 2021 Fulmer Award in First Nations Art. The selection committee for the 2022 British Columbia Reconciliation Award, which includes representation from Indigenous elders and leadership consists of: • p’i·q’, Dr. Christopher Horsethief- Ktunaxa Nation; • T’esóts’en, Patrick Kelly-Leq’á:mel Nation; • Nicole McLaren-Métis Nation; • Cloy-e-iis, Dr. Judith Sayers-Hupacasath Nation; • T,lalisam, Dr. Kim van der Woerd‘Na’mg’is Nation.

Candidate Hall eyeing seat in city hall JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kelly Hall, a 64-year-old local media executive, is eyeing business prosperity, community safety and arts and sports facilities in his bid for a seat on Kamloops city council. Standing outside Fratelli Foods downtown on Monday morning, Hall, general sales manager of Stingray Media and former publisher of Kamloops This Week, announced his intention to run. Hall touted the products and service at Fratelli Foods and said a vibrant and healthy business community starts downtown. “Whether you’re in the downtown or whether you’re in the North Shore or whether you’re in Sahali, we, as a city, need to have a very prosperous and busy busi-
ness community,” he said. Hall plans to retire in the fall and said he decided to run because he has a passion for the city as a resident for 40 years. He said his work with local businesses through three decades of media sales will help him listen to the business community and ensure growth. Speaking with reporters, Hall was asked what he hopes to achieve for the business community and what is currently at issue for businesses. He said changes are needed to the way in which mental-health and addiction issues, trickling onto city streets, are handled. “People in Kamloops need to feel safe when they walk down the streets in Kamloops,” Hall said, noting he will release his platform closer to the Oct. 15 election, but will continue to talk to residents about issues in

Kamloops in 1983, the city had a population of 64,000 and Kelowna had a population of 61,000, Hall said. “When I mention that to a lot of people, they’re really surprised,” he said. “So, what happened?” He wants to see growth and development and noted need for commercial development and achiev-
able housing. Hall is also in favour of the proposed Kamloops Centre for the Arts. Calling himself an “avid sports guy,” Hall said the city needs to upgrade sports facilities, including recreational ice and another swimming pool on the North Shore. He looks back at a former proposal for Riverside Coliseum, which included a conference centre and hotel, as a missed opportunity. “I think that if we would have had the vision and we could have had the city accept that, we would have a marquee rink and conference centre and hotel that we don’t have because we ended up saying no to that,” he said. In addition to his media experience, Hall has sat on numerous boards, including
the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA, Kamloops Sports Task Force and the BC Wildlife Park. About a dozen supporters, including family, colleagues and friends, were on hand for his announcement. Speaking with KTW, Mitzi Funk said she is friends with Hall and wants to see “new blood.” “Kelly knows a lot of people in town,” Funk said. “He’s got a lot of contacts, networking. He’s a good listener. I just think that he would do well and, since he’s retiring as well, he’s going to be able to make this part of his new — we’ll say — job, possibly.” For more, go online to kellyhall.ca or find Hall’s campaign page on Facebook.

House arrest instead of jail for Kamloops man MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michaell@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man set to stand trial next year for second-degree murder will be able to prepare for trial while under house arrest rather than behind bars for a separate offence. James Dylan Sanford, 34, was sentenced in Kamloops provincial court on June 10 on drug charges from 2018 to which
he pleaded guilty. Judge Raymond Phillips handed Sanford an 18-month conditional sentence order (CSO), to be followed by 18 months of probation, according to Sanford’s lawyer, Joe Killoran. Killoran said the first 12 months of the CSO will have conditions with exceptions for being outside his home for tasks such as work and medical appointments. Court heard Sanford sold
drugs to an undercover police officer twice on the same day almost four years ago. According to an agreed statement of facts, on Aug. 23, 2018, a Kamloops Mountie placed a call to a dial-a-dope number, setting up a 1:21 a.m. meeting with Sanford in Kamloops, where they completed a transaction — $40 in exchange for 0.37 grams of what was a combination of fentanyl and heroin. The officer
contacted the number again at 8:49 p.m., meeting Sanford and giving him another $40 for 0.26 grams of heroin/fentanyl. Sanford is also charged in connection with a September 2020 murder and Killoran sought to keep him out of jail ahead of his impending trial, to help him better prepare his defence. That trial is expected to begin on Jan. 9, 2023, and last one month.
Sanford was arrested and charged in connection with the stabbing death of 33-year-old Daniel Thomas Myles on Sept. 12, 2020, near the Canada’s Best Value Inn (formerly the Acadian Inn) in the 1300-block of Columbia Street in downtown Kamloops. Sanford has been on bail since December 2020, living with his mother in the Paul Lake/Pinantan area under conditions and employed.

Investigation into fatal ammonia leak continues MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Officials with WorkSafeBC were conducting a multiday investigation on the weekend as they continue to investigate the circumstances behind an ammonia leak at a local ice-making facility that claimed the life of one person. The leak occurred on the morning of May 26 at Arctic Glacier, located in the Mount Paul Industrial Park on the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc reserve. Kamloops Fire Rescue responded that day to a report of smoke in the area, which ended up being a release of ammonia. According to a notice from WorksSafe BC, investigators in hazmat suits arrived at the facility last Friday and were expected to be there for two to four days. “This investigative work will be done in co-operation with Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP, Technical Safety BC and the B.C. Ministry of Environment,” the notice states. The Arctic Glacier ice facility is secure, under the control of the RCMP and remains closed while
the incident is investigated by police, according to the latest online information posted to the provincial government’s website about the incident. The ammonia leak at the facility in the 700block of Sarcee Street resulted in the death of an employee — a man believed to be in his 60s. According to the province, the ammonia release occurred during routine maintenance and three other workers were taken to hospital for treatment. Six people were medically assessed at the scene. The facility was evacuated and the release shut off, with the spill being confined to the building with no danger presented to the public, the province said. The source of the ammonia spill was from a storage tank, according to the province. “We now know that, as a result of doing some refrigeration repairs and decommission of equipment, there was a malfunction somewhere, which is obviously still under investigation as to how it unfolded,” KFR Deputy Fire Chief Ryan Cail told KTW shortly following the incident.

Cail said the release of ammonia affected staff in the building, including the person who died, who ended up being trapped before being able to be extricated by firefighters. The person was deemed in critical condition and taken to the hospital immediately, with crews performing emergency medical intervention en route to Royal Inland Hospital. On Monday, WorkSafeBC manager of media relations Alexandra Skinner told KTW the organization is not able to “provide any additional details while the investigation is underway.” She said it often takes several months or more to complete such an investigation, noting the timeline depends on the level of complex-
ity in the investigation. WorksSafeBC investigations will generally involve investigators securing and examining the site and equipment involved, taking notes, photos and interviewing workers and witnesses. They will conduct tests on equipment, collect relevant documents, then analyze the evidence to determine a sequence of events, explore contributing factors that led to the unsafe conditions and identify deficiencies. The investigation will culminate in a report determining the cause of an incident and may lead to enforcement action for violations of the Workers Compensation Act or the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation that may have occurred.

purchased from the unregulated market, their life is at risk. Until a safer, regulated supply is widely accessible, I encourage those using drugs to use only in the presence of someone who can provide help and call for medical assistance if that’s required,” she said. “Anyone using illicit substances, whether they are regular or occasional drug users and whether they know their dealer or not, is currently at risk from the unpredictable, unregulated supply.” Lapointe again pointed to the drug toxicity death review panel report, released earlier this year, that contains advice focused on urgent measures to reduce the numbers of those dying. “The panel highlighted access to a safer drug supply as the most critical lifesaving need in this crisis, along with a co-ordinated, goal-driven provincial strategy and a comprehensive continuum of substance-use care,” Lapointe said. “BC Coroners Service data for the first four months
of 2022 shows us that our province is on the path to yet another tragic milestone in terms of lives lost. I am hopeful that the implementation of the panel’s recommendations, on an urgent basis, will stop these preventable deaths.” Earlier this month, the federal and provincial governments announced that, effective Jan. 31, 2023, a three-year pilot project will see decriminalization of simple possession (2.5 grams and less) of hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine. B.C. Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Sheila Malcolmson referred to that announcement in a statement. “One of the reasons that people continue to lose their lives is the stigma that surrounds addictions and substance use,” she said, “Shame and fear keep many people from accessing the care they need. The fear of being criminalized has led many people to hide addiction and use drugs alone — and using alone can mean dying alone. That’s why decriminalization is a critical step in B.C.’s fight against the toxic drug crisis. It will break down the barriers that prevent people from getting life-saving supports, while interrupting the cycle of drug criminalization and poverty. Malcolmson reiterated that substance use is a public health, not criminal, matter. “There is no magic bullet to end the drug poisoning crisis,” she said. “But decriminalizing people who use drugs is essential to stemming the tide of the toxic drug crisis and to reducing the stigma around drug use.”

Skydiving club to shut down CLUB MEMBER MAKES LAST-DITCH PLEA FOR LANDING ZONE MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Liability has been the No. 1 stumbling block for the club, which has drafted letters and sent them to many potential landing-site owners. “We carry $2 million in liability ourselves and we’re covered with $3 million of thirdparty liability through the governing association (Canadian Sport Parachuting Association) and are fully insured and have waivers everybody signs, no different than whitewater rafting,” Sutherland said. “The difference is whitewater rafting doesn’t have to land on someone’s personal property.” Sutherland was asked if there is a drop-dead date to find a new landing zone. “Yesterday, really,” she said. “We’re in the process of selling the buildings [two double-wide trailers] we have on premise and vacating our current rental property. This is hard. We fondly refer to each other as sky family. We are family away from ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE PHOTO home.

ime appears to have run out on the Kamloops Skydivers Sport Parachuting Club’s search for a new landing zone. The club is shuttering after more than 60 years in operation, said secretary and treasurer Heather Sutherland. “With the recent expansion for the airport and the construction of the pipeline, we lost our longtime landing zone at the airport,” Sutherland said, noting Kamloops Skydivers is the last remaining not-for-profit skydiving club in Western Canada. “We’ve been trying for the last three years to either find a new landing zone in and around the airport or move our drop zone entirely. We have not been successful. We have no choice but to permanently close our doors. There were tears.” Sutherland said a last-minute offer could save the club. “Maybe a farmer hears this and says, ‘Oh, I don’t care if skydivers land in my field in this specific small area.’ Then we could continue to operate,” Sutherland said. “We don’t have any leads today, so we’re forced to close.”

The Kamloops International Baseball Tournament has been cancelled for the third consecutive year, longtime organizer Wayne Harper told KTW on Tuesday. KIBT, which traditionally runs in July, was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 amid the pandemic. Harper said there are several reasons for nixing the tournament this year. He said there were pandemic-related concerns regarding travel to Canada for U.S. teams. “We did send out
requests for anybody that was interested. I think only two teams replied,” Harper said. “There wasn’t that much time left for them to plan.” Harper said the arrival of the Kamloops NorthPaws, the expansion West Coast League franchise, created conflict with concession and beer-garden operations. “Also, advertising and sponsorship were going to be tough,” Harper said. “The other thing is we only have two people on the executive. Everybody else, with COVID, they said, ‘Nah, we don’t think KIBT is going to go.‘”
Norm Daley, partowner of the NorthPaws, said his club was willing to work with KIBT organizers to ensure they could run the concession and beer garden. “They can run it like they did historically,” Daley said. There are no NorthPaws’ home games scheduled from July 7 to July 21. “It was required in our lease to leave those dates open for KIBT,” Daley said. “With whatever group, we want to work with everybody. We’re not here to try to stop KIBT. I was involved in it for a number of years.”
The Everett Merchants knocked off the Alaska Goldpanners 6-1 in the 2019 final to claim their second consecutive KIBT title. Event coffers took a hit in 2019, the 46th edition of the tournament, with rain leading to delays, postponements and rescheduling throughout the weekend on McArthur Island. Harper said he hopes the cancellation in 2022 is only a blip. “I’m optimistic about that,” Harper said. “We’ve just got to get our shit together, pardon my language. Are we going to go for it or are we not going to go?”

MUG SHOTS OF THE WEEK ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE PHOTO Greg Stewart, a 7-foot-2 shot putter and Paralympics gold medallist, has retired from high-performance sport. He made the announcement on Monday in a message on social media.
Stewart retires
Greg Stewart announced his retirement from high-performance sport on Monday in a message on Facebook. “A bit of a bittersweet way to leave, but on top,” said Stewart, the 7-foot-2 multi-sport athlete from Kamloops who won gold in shot put last summer at the postponed Paralympic Summer Games in Tokyo. His efforts to reach the Paralympics began in 2001, with stints on the national standing and seated disabled volleyball teams yielding gold medals at world championships
and world cups. Stewart had an outstanding basketball career with the TRU WolfPack and earned Canadian Interuniversity Sport defensive player of the year honours in 2011. The big fella moved the implement 13.08 metres at his first International Paralympic Committeesanctioned shot put event in 2017. His growth over the next two years was phenomenal. Stewart, who was born with nothing below his left elbow, won silver in the men’s F46 division at the
2019 World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai, throwing 16.30 metres to establish a Canadian record and dismantle his own personal best. He bested that mark on Throw 1 in Tokyo last year to claim gold for Canada — a personal-best 16.75-metre heave that is a Canadian and Paralympics record. Stewart earned the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association Male Athlete of the Year Award in May at the Kamloops Sports Council awards ceremony at TRU.

at the provincial level and also at the national level,” KCKC head coach Stanislav Marek said in a press release. “This is just one achievement that has resulted from a lot of hard work from a lot of people — athletes, coaches, parents and volunteers.” Donaldson, who began her paddling career as a KCKC summer camp participant, will compete as one of five B.C. female kayakers, while Mischa
Grover, who is the youngest member of the squad, will race for the female canoe team. Salomonson and Liam Grover are half of the four-person B.C.’s men’s canoe squad. Canoe and kayak events — there are 200-, 500-, 1,000- and 5,000-metre races — will take place on the Welland Canal, which connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. KCKC headquarters are at Shumway Lake.
Racing canoes and kayaks are narrow and balancing in them requires significant skill. Kayakers use a double-bladed paddle and are seated in the boat, while canoers balance on one knee and paddle only on one side of the boat. There are one-, two- and four-person kayaks and canoes. For more information on the club, go online to kamloopscanoeandkayakclub.ca.

Beatty blasts way to WCL home-run lead MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Zack Beatty has a fairly straightforward approach at the plate. “My hitting philosophy, pretty much, is to pump the fastball,” said Beatty, a 6-foot-6 first-baseman from Maple Park, Illinois. “Get ready and geared up for it. If you get around on it, you’re going to hit it a long way and do a lot of damage with it.” Beatty had done more damage with the long ball than anyone else in West Coast League baseball as of KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday, with four home runs in 32 at-bats. Five players were tied for second in the league, with three home runs apiece. “He’s a big boy and I’ll tell you what — he’s a really advanced hitter,” said NorthPaws’ head coach Cole Armstrong, who was working for the Chicago White Sox when he first heard of Beatty. “He’s somebody who has an approach, understands what his approach is and doesn’t veer from it.” Kamloops began a threegame series against the Victoria HarbourCats on Tuesday at
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Zack Beatty of the Kamloops NorthPaws leads the West Coast League home run race. The NorthPaws will host the Victoria HarbourCats on Wednesday.
Norbrock Stadium. Games 2 and 3 are slated for Wednesday and Thursday, with first pitch slated for 6:35 p.m. both nights. The NorthPaws (7-5) were atop
North Division standings, with a .583 winning percentage and half-game lead on the Wenatchee AppleSox (5-4) and HarbourCats (6-5).
Beatty, who was tied for third in the league in strikeouts (10), toiled for the past two seasons for McCook Community College in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division One ranks. He racked up 24 home runs (the most in a single season in McCook history) in 56 games in 2021-2022. Armstrong was following his progress. “You put him behind a bunch of guys who can get on base and he’s going to be able to do a bunch of damage in this league,” Armstrong said. Beatty on Monday earned an honourable mention on the NJCAA All-American Team list. “It’s actually been a very cool experience,” said Beatty, an outdoorsman who is looking forward to exploring the Kamloops area. “It’s such a prestigious league. There are a lot of leagues back home in the states, but it’s nothing like I get here. I get to go against some pretty top competition. I get to come up here, travel the northern half of the west coast and it’s beautiful up here, too.” Beatty might be a little further ahead in the home-run race had he not been ejected last Friday,
when the NorthPaws doubled the Bellingham Bells 6-3 at Norbrock Stadium. “It was a very upsetting at-bat,” Beatty said. “I’ve always been told you can tell an umpire what you think, just don’t swear at him and don’t make it personal. That’s exactly what I did. I didn’t cuss and I didn’t say his name. I just turned around and said, ‘That’s terrible.’” The slugger was suspended for Game 2 of the three-game series against the Bells, an 8-1 victory for the visitors on Saturday, and was held out of the lineup for the rubber match, in which Kamloops prevailed 4-2 on Sunday. “It was a very soft ejection, I believe,” Beatty said on Monday. “Hopefully get back it again tomorrow night and we’ll go from there.” NorthPaws’ co-owner Norm Daley on Tuesday reported a strong start to ticket sales for the expansion franchise. “It’s been amazing,” Beatty said of fan support at Norbrock. “In junior college, there were about 40 people at the game. “Walking out and seeing 800 people in the stands is absolutely mind-blowing.”
Rivers winless on road, Lions, Kamloops ink training camp deal aim to rebound at home MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Varsity Football Club of Vancouver posted a pair of victories over Rivers FC of Kamloops in League1 BC soccer action on Sunday at the University of B.C. In women’s play, Varsity blanked Rivers 3-0, with goals from Emma Regan, Vanessa Tomie and Aman Shergill. Goalkeeper Emily Edmundson had a strong game for Rivers before leaving the contest with an injury in the 60th minute. Rivers has one win, three losses and one draw on the campaign. Varsity is undefeated at 4-0. The Vancouver side, paced by two secondhalf goals from Caleb Clarke, earned a 2-1 win over the Kamloops club
in men’s action. Patrick Izett scored for Rivers, which dropped to 1-2-2. Varsity sits atop league standings at 4-0. Rivers will play host to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Sunday, June 19, at Hillside Stadium. The women’s game is slated for 1 p.m., with the men to follow at 3:30 p.m. Vancouver’s men are 2-2-1 on the season, while its women are 4-0-1.
B.C. Lions’ owner Amar Doman raised a few eyebrows in the River City when he suggested during an interview last week on CHEK TV’s Donnie and Dhali that his CFL club may be pondering moving training camp away from Kamloops. “Everything is on the table,” Doman said. “Kamloops has been a wonderful host and partner of the Lions for a long time. Those are discussions we’ll have coming up, but it would be nice to share the Lions around a little bit.”
For now, the Lions are staying put in the Tournament Capital. Sean Smith, business operations and events supervisor for the City of Kamloops, confirmed the Lions and the city this spring inked a two-year deal, for 2022 and 2023, with an option for 2024 upon mutual agreement. The city will pay the Lions $55,000 in each of 2022 and 2023 for the right to host camp. There is an estimated economic spinoff of $300,000 per year into the community, according to the city. Smith was asked about the comments made by Doman, who took the
Lions’ reins in August of 2021. “We all know the B.C. Lions are B.C’s team,” Smith said. “It’s no secret they do want to get out and generate a bigger fan base. We feel we’ve been really fortunate to have had them in Kamloops for as long as we have and we look forward to more years of camp, but understand they have an operation to manage and objectives to meet with generating more fans.” For more on this story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. The Lions opened their season with a 59-15 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Saturday in Vancouver.
Tsunami storm podium in Salmon Arm The Kamloops Tsunami Swim Club was in action on the weekend at the Salmon Arm Sockeyes Invitational, along with nearly 200 athletes from the Okanagan and Interior. Twelve Kamloops swimmers combined to post 40 topfive finishes. Winning overall gold medals in their respective age divisions were Liam Blackall, Caiden Blackall, Alexandra Karpuk and Jack Savage. Winning overall silver medals were Jared Roberts and Aleah Freeman.
Savage and Raina McEachern-Toombs both finished first in a pair of races. Liam Blackall and Victoria Karpuk each recorded five personal best times, while Aleah Freeman, Michael Karpuk, Kayleigh Roberts, Jared Roberts and Jasper Swyers each achieved four personal best times. Recording three personal best times each were Caiden Blackall, Dominik Comparelli and Alexandra Karpuk. The Tsunami will next be in action later this month at the Penticton Invitational Swim Meet.

Dig It: The Garbage Project HOW THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF TODAY IS CHANGING THE WAY THAT WE LIVE
A
s all archaeologists will attest, archaeology (studying human culture through material remains) often means we are digging through the garbage of the ancient past. Fifty years ago, William Rathje and his students began asking questions: What could we learn about ourselves if we studied the garbage of the recent past? And how can we truly understand ancient garbage if we don’t truly recognize how humans deal with waste in general? Spurred on by his students’ questions and enthusiasm, Rathje in 1973 began the groundbreaking University of Arizona study known as The Garbage Project. The first part of the study had students and volunteers collect census and survey data of households in Tucson. The garbage from those areas was then rerouted to a lab to be weighed, sorted, recorded and analyzed. What they discovered when they analyzed the results was that there were serious differences between what the respondents said they did with their trash as opposed to what they actually did with their garbage. Participants’ survey responses stated they were very rational with their consuming and disposing of refuse; however, the analysis of the actual trash showed very different,

very irrational behaviours. Middle income homes typically wasted more than richer or poorer ones. People reported that they ate significantly healthier than they actually did, drank less alcohol than they actually did (by 40 to 60 per cent) and recycled more than they actually did. During periods of economic stress, households tended to buy more perishable goods to get the cheaper, bulk pricing. However, much of this extra food spoiled before it was eaten and was ultimately thrown away. For example, during a beef shortage in the spring of 1973, the project documented the highest rate of edible beef waste they had noted throughout the survey. By analyzing the data, they found consumers had responded to the much-publicized shortage by

purchasing more beef when it was available, but in typically cheaper and unfamiliar cuts. Lack of experience with how to store and prepare these cuts were large factors in what caused the waste of beef and contributed to the continuing shortages. The Garbage Project expanded throughout different cities in North America and continued to ask new research questions. A study of three Metro Toronto landfills in 1991 revealed curbside recycling had saved 20 per cent of those landfill spaces since the program began in 1982. Rathje also focused on what was happening with environmental factors in the landfills. It was a common assumption that items in landfills would degrade fairly quickly.
It quickly became apparent this was not the case. Biodegradable items, such as 50-year-old newspapers, hot dogs and several types of vegetables were found and looked like they had been just thrown out the day before. More than 900 students and volunteers worked on The Garbage Project over the years. Rathje created an entirely new subdiscipline of archaeology now known as “garbology.” The discipline has prompted change in many fields, including hazardous waste disposal (from hospital waste to nuclear waste), recycling, nutrition, diet and food loss, biodegradation and methane generation. Perhaps one of the most important principles garbology has proven is that the greater the
technological achievement, the greater the amount of waste we generate. However, it has also established that we are capable of breaking this link through consumer awareness and education, as well as reduction in packaging materials used by industrial suppliers. Archaeology has proven that we can learn a lot about ourselves through what we discarded in the distant and not so distant past — and that by studying it, we can make positive changes to improve the future.

Never Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Love Mel, Shane and Adam
Oh Great Spirit Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me
The more you do unselfishly
I come to you as one of your many children
The more you live abundantly.
I need your strength and your wisdom
The more of everything you share, The more you laugh, the less you fret. The more you’ll always have to spare. The more you love, the more you’ll find That life is good and friends are kind. For only what we give away, Enriches us from day to day.
I am small and weak May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

Catherine Ann Turner
October 17, 1952 - June 7, 2022
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Klassen on May 31, 2022, surrounded by his family at home. He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Anne, his daughters Tanya (Ben), Corrie, and Trisha (Ryan), and his grandchildren Jordanna, Eli, Nyla and Nolana. He will be greatly missed by his siblings Ben (Russella), Herald (Maureen), Gerald, Lesa (John), and Norman (Kit), along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother William.
We would like to announce the passing of Catherine Ann Turner in Kamloops, BC.
John was born on a farm near Hague, Saskatchewan to John and Sarah Klassen, the eldest child in the family. He began working in the trucking industry at a young age, putting many miles on the road from Alaska to Ontario before moving to Vancouver. It was there he married Anne and had two daughters before moving to Grande Prairie in 1978. They welcomed their youngest daughter there, and then moved to Kamloops in 1985. After his retirement, John still loved to drive, especially traveling to see his beloved grandchildren who gave him so much joy. John was known for his warm smile and kind nature to all he encountered throughout his years. From extended family to friends, and those he just met, John would take the time to listen and leave you with a smile on your face. He found joy in spreading the gospel across Canada to those in the trucking community by volunteering through Transport for Christ. His love of God was apparent in how he lived his life and in how he treated others. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, June 17, 2022 at the Kamloops Alliance Church. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW!
Q. I told you Murray wanted to be cremated? Is it done yet? A. A lot of people think it’s as simple as that. It isn’t. There are a number of legal documents to sign before we’re allowed to proceed. That plus the minimum 48 hour law in BC.

Eleanore Rittenhouse
Eldon (Daryl) Smeeton
August 1922 - June 2022
February 21, 1940 - May 24, 2022
Eldon (Daryl) Smeeton was a gentle, loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He passed away peacefully on May 24, 2022 leaving his family with a lifetime of wonderful memories.
God looked around his garden and he found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, as he always takes the best.
Daryl was predeceased by his parents Mildred and Ed, 10 of 11 siblings, his son, Brian and grandson, Devon. Left to mourn his passing are his wife of 61 years, Sharon, son Ed (Antoniette) and daughter Deborah and brother Gord, grandchildren Daryl (Lindsey), Derrick (Jessica), Olivia (Shak) and Tyler and their father Jeff as well as Brian’s partner Coney, great grandchildren Liam, Saylor, Zirayah, Deacon and Savanna as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
With sad hearts we say goodbye to our wonderful Mother, Eleanore Rittenhouse. Eleanore has gone on to join her beloved husband, David E and two of her sons, David J and Philip E. Eleanore was born August 1922 in Ontario. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in Economics before marrying the love of her life, David. The two of them settled down and started their family.
Daryl was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan February 21, 1940. He was the 7th of the 11 children. He met Sharon – the love of his life and best friend in 1954 and the two were together ever after. The two travelled throughout BC, Dawson City and to South America as they followed Daryl’s work. He was a winchman on the gold dredges. The family eventually settled in Kamloops, BC to continue raising their children. After their children were grown, Daryl and Sharon became foster parents to kids with special needs which brought them great joy before making the difficult decision to fully retire.
Eleanore is survived by her remaining sons, Joseph E, Robert G (Agnes), Steven F (Dora) and daughter Christine M (Lester), daughter-in-law Theresa. She is also survived by her much loved grandchildren: Kathleen, Philip Jr, Steven, Rosie, Christine, Nicholas, Timothy and David as well as several great-grandchildren and loving nieces and nephews.
Daryl and Sharon were “snowbirds” and travelled to Arizona every winter for 3 years where they made many friends. In the summers they visited with their children and their families. Daryl’s favourite pastime was spending time with Sharon. The two were near constant companions and never tired of each others company.
Condolences may be sent to the family at www.drakecremation.com
Funeral Mass for Eleanore will be held on Saturday, July 9th, 9:30am at Holy Family Church, Kamloops.

Joy Hilda Parkes (nee Mackill) Cancer has taken another vibrant life with the passing of Joy Parkes at the Kamloops Hospice Home on June 9, 2022, just a few days short of her 74th birthday. Joy was predeceased by her parents Clarence and Ivy Mackill, her brother Frank Mackill, and her sister-in-law Miriam McLean. She is survived by her brothers Don (Pat) Mackill and Bruce Mackill, husband Dick, son Dale (Alex) Parkes, daughters Holly (Murray) Lester and Jessica (Scott) Rouse, grandchildren Cole Parkes, Mya and Jordyn Lester, Kaylea Long, Austin and Levi Rouse, many cousins, BFF Janet Surline, and uncountable special friends. Joy was born on June 22, 1948 at Kleena Kleene, once a very remote area of the Chilcotin, where her parents owned and operated a hunting and fishing lodge on One Eye Lake. When the lodge was sold the family moved to Riske Creek, then Alexis Creek and later to Puntzi Mountain where Joy’s dad, Clarence, obtained a job working for the Puntzi air force base. In the mid fifties, Clarence transferred to the Mt. Lolo air force base so that the children could get a better education in Kamloops. Joy attended North Kamloops Elementary and then Norkam Secondary, with grade 11 in between at Kam High. Upon her graduation in 1966, Joy began working as a stenographer/bookkeeper at the Mt. Lolo base. Her high school graduation prom date was Dick Parkes and that was the beginning of a life-long partnership. Joy transferred to Immigration/Manpower in Vancouver in 1969 while Dick attended U.B.C. and they were married in Kamloops on August 22, 1970. In December 1971 they quit their jobs in Vancouver, drove across Canada in the middle of winter, and flew from Montreal to Munich for a five month tour of Europe. Upon their return, Joy obtained a job as the manager’s secretary at the Bank of Montreal in Kamloops and eventually Dick was permanently hired by the City of Kamloops Planning Department. As children started arriving in 1975, Dick and Joy bought their first, and only, house in Dallas and have been there ever since. Joy was a wonderful stay-at-home mom until their third child, Jessica, was in high school and then she went back to work at the Crisis Centre, then to Youth Resources and eventually retiring from a counselling office. Throughout the years Joy was active in Girl Guides, school activities, a “Stitch and Bitch” club, quilting groups, and as a volunteer at the RIH Thrift Seller for over 10 years. She was also a willing participant with her husband’s involvement in the Vintage Car Club and the Rube Band, both of which included many trips around B.C., Alberta, the U.S. and even to Mexico and Hawaii. When in remission from her first bout with brain cancer, Joy treated the entire family to another memorable trip to Hawaii, which everyone will remember forever. Joy and Dick celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2020 at their summer cabins on Shuswap Lake, where almost every summer of those 50 years was happily spent with family and friends. Joy will be remembered as a terrific loving wife, an exceptional mother and “Nana”, and as a special friend to many. Her name exemplifies the joy she brought to almost everyone that came into her life. A memorial service in Joy’s honour will be held in the Mountain Room of the TRU Campus Activity Center at 1:00 pm, Friday, June 17, 2022. Interment at Hillside Cemetery will be held at 10:30 am, prior to the service. Joy loved her flower garden, and if you could bring a small bouquet from your own flower bed to add to a floral tribute, that would be a special gift. The family would like to express our sincere thanks to the nurses and staff at the Kamloops Hospice Home, where Joy peacefully passed her final days, and to the Royal Inland Hospital, the Kelowna Cancer Clinic, Dr. B. Proctor, and Dr. J.F. Malan for their care and compassion.

Frank Haywood-Farmer 1924 - 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Frank Haywood-Farmer just weeks shy of his 98th birthday. He joined his wife Betty on May 30, 2022, on what would have been her 100th birthday. He will be lovingly remembered by his 4 children, Sally (Bob), Frances (Rob), Cathie (Rudi), Stewart (Diana), 11 grandchildren Teresa, Karla, Patrick, Lydia, Riley, Tyler, Devin, Lucas, Carson, Maxine, Jaclyn and partners and 11 great-grandchildren. Born on June 19, 1924 Frank was one of the 8 children of Stewart and Mildred Haywood Farmer of Indian Gardens Ranch in Savona,BC. He was the last of his generation. All his early schooling was in Kamloops and Savona, to which he rode his horse, named School Bus, up and down the hill daily. While at Kam High he loved athletics, playing 5 sports at once and his favorite was baseball. After a year of Senior Matriculation in Vancouver,he enlisted in the RCAF and from August, 1943 to May 1945 completed 500 hours of flying. Frank met Betty Wilkinson at the Flying U Guest Ranch in 1946. After their marriage on December 4,1946 they ranched at the Green Lake Meadows, for 16 years. (1946-1962). Despite lots of hard work and no power or telephones he enjoyed the lifestyle. He especially loved the animals, and in his later years told us fond stories of his dogs and horses, along with his memories of hunting, card games and baseball games at Lone Butte. Raising a family of 4 children prompted a move to Vancouver and more schooling, where he trained at UBC to become a teacher and subsequently taught for 21 years in Richmond, BC. That's where he started his famous annual hockey pool that's still going strong today! In 1963, Frank and Betty built a summer cabin at the Bullpasture on Green Lake to which he returned every summer until 2021. In his encouraging ways he taught his family, especially his grandchildren, horseback riding, golf, water skiing, fishing,and cribbage. Ranching stories were shared at afternoon tea on the porch with the many, many guests of the Bullpasture over the past 60 years. Frank was also a good listener and conversationalist. In 1979, Frank and Betty fulfilled a lifetime dream of travelling around the world on a one- way ticket from west to east. Frank especially enjoyed viewing Machu Picchu and African animals. Abbotsford was their retirement home where they loved to play bridge, bet at the harness races and of course spend their summers at Green lake. They were long term members of the 108 Mile Golf and Country Club and he even had a few trophies from the men's club tournaments. Many hours were happily spent gardening and fishing local lakes. ”Never throw the first fish back” was his motto. In 2016, Frank returned to Kamloops to reside at Kamloops Seniors Village and thoroughly enjoyed participating in the activities, especially crib games and bus trips. Thank you to the wonderful staff of KSV for helping to make these final years so enjoyable for Frank. In the words of his grandchildren, Frank was a true cowboy gentleman and a stand up guy with strong values who modeled caring, humility and honesty. His devotion and love to his family and friends and welcoming attitude to all, is at the core of his legacy. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 1:00 p.m - 4:00 p.m. at the 70 Mile Community Hall.
Donations may be made in Joy’s name to the Kamloops Hospice Association, the Canadian Cancer Society or the RIH Foundation. Arrangements entrusted to Drake Cremation & Funeral Services.
As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

OVO IS ON THE WAY

irque du Soleil is returning to Kamloops next week with its highenergy acrobatic production. Described as a “colourful intrusion into a new day in the life of insects,” Ovo showcases an array of acrobatic feats, from crickets bouncing off a trampoline wall to a hypnotic spider contorting inside her web. Kamloops This Week sat down with one of those crickets to learn more about a bug’s life. Kilian Mongey’s path to performing as a high-level athlete in Cirque du Soleil’s Ovo has closely mimicked the very movements of the cricket character he portrays. From very early on, Mongey leaped from one career opportunity to another — at each interval moving closer to the Cirque stage he now commands. Mongey said his mother enrolled him in gymnastics at the age of three in an effort to direct his hyperactive energy. After a move from California to Paris, France, Mongey found he wasn’t getting as much class time in gymnastics as he had been in the U.S. His coach suggested Mongey specialize in tumbling so he combined gymnastics and tumbling for five years. “I was doing good on both, but I was a little better in tumbling,” he said. Mongey recalls his mother taking him to see Alegria, his first Cirque du Soleil show. As an 11-year-old, he watched wide-eyed, seeing tumblers like himself doing things he had never seen before. It was an “ah-ha” moment for Mongey. “When I saw it, I thought, ‘Wow, this is what I want to do,’” he said. “I was a young tumbler and I saw the best in the world.” His recruitment at age 14 to train with France’s National Institute of Sport developed his training further and enrolling in acting and dancing classes continued to expand his skills. As Mongey improved, he sent performance videos of himself to Cirque casting each month, receiving positive feedback until his level was high enough to receive the call. “It paid off, all that hard work since I was three years old. It was a long road, but I rode it. It’s a pretty awesome life,” Mongey said.
Mongey has been touring with Cirque du Soleil for six year, minus a one-year break. Early on in the pandemic, Cirque du Soleil began plans to re-open, a welcome announcement for artists whose practice regimes had been abruptly halted. “When we stopped performing in front of an audience — feeling the energy every night of the audience — it was pretty hard at the beginning,” Mongey said. It was also difficult for artists to find a place to train, with facilities being closed. The past year has seen gyms opening up, allowing performers to get back to their regular routines. “We’re all so grateful to be able to be on stage [again],” Mongey said, adding that hearing the audience’s reactions during performances is special for himself and fellow athletes. “We can see people that are crying from joy because the story touched them, their feelings. I guess that’s our job, trying to make people think of nothing else but our show — entering our world,” Mongey said. Ovo, meaning “egg” in Portuguese, is what Deborah Colker, (first female creator and director at Cirque du Soleil) took her inspiration from — the world of insects. Backing the show is a percussion-heavy score by Berna Ceppas, who was inspired by the music of Brazil. There are 100 people from 25 different nationalities touring with Ovo, including 52 artists — all of them bugs. “We’re doing it with a lot more gratitude,” said Cirque du Soleil Ovo senior publicist Janie Mallet. “There’s a renewed sense of gratitude of what we do.” Mallet said Ovo is a show that is accessible for everybody. The story is woven by three clowns, beginning with arrival of the blue fly (voyager) arriving into a new colony of insects with a big egg on its back. The interactions bring about several underlying themes — how we react to change, diversity and inclusion. “Our show is super cute to watch,” Mongey said. “It’s a love story.” “You come to the show and you take away what resonates with you,” Mallet added. Tickets can be found online at cirquedu soleil.com/ovo for six performances from June 23 to June 26 at Sandman Centre in downtown Kamloops.

EXPEDITIONS
A year after a wildfire swept through, scarring much of the landscape, Marshall Potts has done some work on himself and is looking for the silver linings. The Sparks Lake wildfire wiped out most of the trees on his property just northwest of Kamloops. But now, as loggers salvage any timber they can, Potts can only see the rolling grassland hills and young trees left to grow. The fire forced him to leave his property in late June of 2021, subsequently delaying the music he had planned to release. “I don’t lament things not happening on time anymore. I have more patience with it and I always look for the silver lining in everything,” he told KTW.
Potts released his third album in March and singles from The Storm have been trickling out all year. The latest is Let It All Go, which reflects Potts’ new philosophy. “I think I’m just more honest. I got out of my head and more into the heart space. I’m trying to do that in my life, so it’s coming out in the music,” he said. Potts’ latest effort is an earnest one, following newfound self-reflection and some work he’s done with himself, seeing how events in his childhood can grow into bigger issues and have real effects in adulthood. “So that was a process I did and, as I did that, my creativity and ability to get a message out that wasn’t my ego — it was for other people as much as it was for me — that’s how I went about it,” he said. Potts said he hopes his latest album will stir up things people need within
themselves and inspire them to be brave in pursuing their passion. “I hope it’s a really clear mirror to them. This is my goal with music going forward,” he said. The country/rock musician also has big plans to tour in the coming years, with shows this fall in Toronto and Quebec, where he said he has received plenty of radio play. “Like any artist, I just want to tour and play. You want to get in touch and experience life with other people,” he said. The tour will continue in 2023. Potts said he is working on dates in Europe, including the U.K. and Sweden in the spring of next year.

A night of epic storytelling THE CBC’S GRANT LAWRENCE COMES TO KAMLOOPS THIS FRIDAY SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
crusty old oyster farmer once told Grant Lawrence that misfits have the best stories. He took that lesson to
heart. From Sasquatch hunters to cougar wranglers to race car drivers, the CBC Radio host and author has honed his storytelling skills through a vibrant cast of characters — and he will tell some of those stories during a show at The Effie Arts Collective on Friday, June 17. The Effie is at 422 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops. Grant Lawrence and Friends will include a collection of the host’s stories and music from friends Dustin Bentall and the Blue Wranglers, along with Kamloops’ own Madison Olds. Bentall is an old friend of Lawrence’s who has formed a bluegrass band featuring players from the Cariboo, while the connection to Olds came after her 2019 Top 10 success in CBC’s Searchlight music contest. And Olds won’t be the only Kamloops connection at Friday’s show. Among the tales collected by
Lawrence for two of his books — Adventures in Solitude and his latest, Return to Solitude — is the story of a man named Russell Letawsky. “He’s a fascinating figure who came into my life when I was a nerdy, scared little kid,” Lawrence told KTW. Many of Lawrence’s stories revolve around a real life cast of characters he has met in Desolation Sound, a remote area he described as “The Beachcombers meets The Shining.” He also calls it his second home. Letawsky, once a suit-clad Toronto businessman entrenched in the rat race in the 1960s, “snapped” one day and began heading west, eventually arriving in the region to pan for gold in the hills around Kamloops, Lawrence explained. Years later, Letawsky would make the city his home base in his quest to find the mythical Sasquatch before eventually being led away to Desolation Sound, where Lawrence met him. Letawsky’s story is full of twists and eccentricities, much like most of those Lawrence has written about over the years. “There’s all these different people who were kind of like square pegs in round holes,” he said, explaining how so many characters ended up in such a remote region of the province.
Lawrence’s books, and the stories he will tell at The Effie, are filled with characters about people who carry nicknames like the Cougar Lady, or titles like the second-fastest man in Canada, who lined his wilderness cabin’s shelves with racing trophies from his glory days. “I tend to lean toward the funnier ones because we’ve been through so much crap over the last couple of years,” he said. “I feel people just need a release.” Lawrence is the first author in the history of the BC Book Prizes to win the Bill Duthie Booksellers Choice twice. He is also the host of the CBC Music Top 20, the lead singer of The Smugglers, a Canadian Screen Award winner, a newspaper columnist and a goalie for the Vancouver Flying Vees beer league hockey team. Lawrence is married to musician Jill Barber and they live in Vancouver with their two children. Lawrence’s latest book, Return to Solitude, is his long-awaited sequel to Adventures in Solitude, and was released on April 30. Tickets for Lawrence’s appearance this Friday at the Effie are $25 in advance, available at The Book Place, 248 Third Ave. downtown, or online at effieartscollective.com. Remaining tickets will also be available for $30 at the door.
Grant Lawrence will be spinning yarns and Dustin Bentall and the Blue Wranglers, along with Kamloops’ own Madison Olds, will be providing music during a June 17 show at the Effie Arts Collective, at 422 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops.
Father’s Day weekend of free family fishing To kick off the summer fishing season, free Family Fishing Weekend events are being hosted in all regions of the province, including the Kamloops area, this coming weekend. Fishing licence requirements will be waived for Canadian citizens this weekend, helping to make it an affordable activity for families. Family Fishing Weekend events offer hands-on instruction and the opportunity to fish in a social setting. Loaner rods, reels and tackle are provided for those who do not have their own gear. The events also offer opportunities to learn about fishing gear, share fishing tips and learn about environmental stewardship and the tradition of recre-
ational fishing. The events combine fishing, learning and socializing for participants who range from avid anglers to those trying the sport for the first time. In the Kamloops area, the free family fishing event will take place at Walloper Lake, south of the city along Lac Le Jeune Road/Meadow Creek Road, on Sunday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The local event is being presented by the Kamloops and District Fish and Game Association, which will have hot dogs, donuts, coffee and hot chocolate standing by.

If you have ever tried to book an Airbnb, chances are you have read some of the reviews of the place you are considering renting. If there is good feedback and you decide to reserve, your host will get notified of the request and will most likely check your reviews from previous Airbnb hosts where you have stayed. So, if you both like the reviews, chances are the experience will be a good one for both host and traveller. This is the same idea for ridesharing companies like Uber ) and URide, which has arrived in Kamloops). The Uber platform features a twoway rating system so drivers and riders can give each other ratings
based on their trip experiences. By reviewing your driver or your Airbnb host, you have more confidence in staying there or booking your transportation It also keeps everyone accountable. Hosts and guests will be more likely to provide good service and be on their best behaviour when they know they are being rated publicly. I met with a young woman last week who said she and her friend were discussing how online dating should also have a review or rating system. She said many of the guys she comes across online are brutal communicators, or their conversations completely drop, and they don’t show any enthusiasm to meet. In some cases, they may not even show up for a planned date. Imagine being able to use a dating app to give public feedback about a person, information that would show up as soon as someone swiped their profile? I thought her idea was genius. In some cases, people meet up because they liked each others’ profiles and wanted to get to know each other better. However, perhaps the chemistry or spark was not there, but they still think each other is a great person and they can give each other good reviews. Being able to give a five-star or one-star rating for an online dater

Kamloops author Shirley Ellen Dodding will be at a book signing at Chapters on Saturday, July 9, from noon to 3 p.m. Dodding is a retired teacher who taught Grade 7. Her former students may remember her as Mrs. Collins. Upon retiring from the classroom, Dodding wrote six novels. Her most recent two books — Dancing with the Stripes and its sequel, Michael & Brie.
(off the ship) Book 2 — will be offered at the book signing as a package (complete with ribbon) for $18. The first book is a romance with a twist (of murder) on a cruise ship, while the second novel extends the antics of the same two children (from the ship) as they fight for survival in their home city of Miami, in a school system combatting bullying.

would be a great way to clean up some of those sites and weed out the riff-raff. It could also be a great way to reward those who are doing the right things. How nice would it be to say, :John Smith was a great guy. He showed up on time for his dates and he communicated well. I think he will make a great partner for someone.” In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need rating systems for the services we use and everyone would provide good service and respectful manners. I like to think the majority of people are caring individuals who are genuinely legitimate. But I guess accountability is necessary in today’s world. If you can rate your Airbnb host, your Uber driver or your doctor (does anybody still have a family physician?), you should be able to do the same with your online date. I think a fun slogan for this app could be Rate your Date. If someone from a tech company is reading this and starts an app, I will let the woman whose idea this is so she can patent it. You may have heard I am closing at the end of the summer, so if you or someone you know might be a good match for any of my clients reach out by email at at holmes@ wheretheheartis.ca and I will introduce you to some five-star matches.

New home for therapeutic riding association KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association is moving to a new home. The association, which operates out of a site on Aviation Way in Brocklehurst, near Kamloops Airport, will be moving to the Koalrock Equestrian Centre, a seven-hectare (18acre) facility about eight minutes east of Rivershore Estate and Golf Links. Koalrock Equestrian is owned by Lisa and Robert Vandriel. The Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association is a not-for-profit registered charity that provides therapeutic riding lessons to children and adults with diverse abilities. “One of the most exciting parts about this move is that Koalrock Equestrian has a covered arena, so the KTRA will not have to cancel lessons if the weather isn’t co-operating,” association executive director Ashley Sudds said, noting the move also means the association will be able to increase services from two seasonal sessions per year (spring/ fall) to four sessions year-round. Sudds said the move to the new location east of Kamloops will help thera-
peutic riders increase their emotional regulation, physical capacity, sense of accomplishment and sense of connection with others and the horses due to the opportunity of up to 10 continuous months of therapeutic riding, as opposed to the five interrupted months of riding now available at its current site. Sudds said the KTRA will also be able to service 18 per cent more riders per year because of increased utilization and increased sessions. Horses will be moving on July 1 and the KTRA plans on hosting an open house as soon as the animals are all settled in. The association will also be seeking more volunteers to help with lessons for the fall session, which will run for eight weeks in September and October. Those interested in helping can find information in the association’s website at ktra.ca, under the Volunteer tab. Those interested in becoming a rider at the KTRA can find application on the website, under the Program tab. The KTRA’s current four-hectare (10-acre) site on Aviation Way has been leased from Kamloops Airport.
Horses will be moving on July 1, 2022, and the KTRA plans on hosting an open house as soon as the animals are all settled in at Koalrock Equestrian. More photos of the facility can be seen online at kamloopsthisweek. com by clicking on the Community tab. KTRA PHOTO

Kamloops RCMP honours officers and civilians KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
On June 2, the Kamloops RCMP Detachment held an awards and recognition ceremony at the McArthur Island Sports Lounge. The event honoured those receiving Commanding Officer’s Commendations, Detachment Commander Appreciation Certificates and Long-Service Medals. “Each person recognized did not take the actions they did or do the job they do
with the hopes of recognition,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky said. Commanding Officer’s Commendations were awarded to seven police officers for bravery, courage, outstanding service, life-saving measures, leadership and dedication. Thirteen police officers and eight auxiliary members received recognition for their long-service in the form of medals and certifications. At the local level, several civilians and two police constables were presented with
a Detachment Commander Certificate of Appreciation. Civilians who were able to attend the ceremony included: • Tanya Chandna: Columbia Street fire, leadership; • Adam Rebalkin: Member assistance with armed suspect, bravery • Kevin McSweeney: Member assistance with resistant suspect, bravery • Byron McDonald: Member assistance during Juniper Ridge fire, leadership
• Cliff Fregin: Member assistance during Juniper Ridge fire, leadership “The civilians recognized stepped up and displayed great leadership by helping those the community depends on to provide help,” Lecky said. “Daily, police are faced with increased challenges and safety risks taken for granted. It is encouraging and reassuring to see good citizens who share our interest in public safely and realize that we can’t always do it alone.”

COMMUNITY Welcome to Kamloops This Week’s Art Page. Today’s art is from the SD73 Young Artists Conference. All art submissions can be sent via email to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.
This cafe scene was created by Nya McLellan, a Grade 5 student at Pacific Way elementary. Nya explains: “I like to draw what is in my head. Sometimes it turns out and sometimes it doesn’t. I named the cafe after my cat because he is a crazy cat and he inspires me. I started with pencil and then coloured it with pencil crayon. I love to do art because it is very calming and if you mess up, it is still perfect.” Anaya Fuoco, a Grade 4 student at McGowan Park elementary, first drew a frog design using pencil on a piece of styrofoam by pushing hard. Anaya explains: “I used block paint and rollers to complete my print. I like prints because I can change colours and make many of one design and give as gifts. I feel relaxed whenever I do art.” Kiera McGrath, a Grade 7 student at Juniper Ridge elementary, created this artwork. Kiera explains: “The meaning of my painting is to show that everybody belongs. The variety of colours represent the LGBTQ+ community, but it also represents different skin colours. I connect to this because I know lots of people who are in the LGBTQ+ community, but also because I have brown skin. My dream is that one day everybody could see each other as equals. This isn’t perfect, but that’s what makes it perfect.”

Importance of fathering fathers
N
o doubt the number of fathers are still aplenty in the world (and quite many of them in the growing teenage bracket), but the lack of severely responsible ones are of great sociological concern. The role of Canadian fathers in a family has seen colossal changes in the last 50 or so years. In the past, fathers were outsiders when babies were born. The man’s role was to chauffeur the expectant mother to the hospital, wait outside the delivery room and partake in the celebration when the doctor declared mother and child were in the all clear. Today, when babies are born, fathers are expected to be in the delivery room, to feel the release of emotion in the birthing experience alongside the mother. He has to experience the joy as well as the bawling on seeing the new life come through into the world. Being a parent today also means the dad playing an active role in the daily physical and emotional life of his children. This new code of behaviour means corporate warriors are supposed to go home to be with their children. And mothers, while still keeping the home fires burning, also have to
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have
FAITH
work outside the home for economic survival, as well as advancing their own careers. If men are competent to parent, what stops them from engaging in more family work? While many men may want to be more involved, they have not been prepared for extensive roles in parenting, either through family socialization or formal education. In our post-industrialized culture, getting back to the involved father’s role involves an act of pioneering for most men. Men must figure out how to balance breadwinner and nurturer roles and bring up the next generation with values that will serve the kids well. This requires a leap not only in conscious attitudes and behaviours, but also the implicit gut-level assumptions about what is appropriate for the children. What does the church have
to say to men today that will help them make the leap into fatherhood? The most important resource for helping a man become a caregiving dad is probably sitting right next to him in the pew. Some pre-parenting support at the church and community level could help both parents to prepare. Changing behaviour by helping men realize the benefits to their own psychological health is a good first step for churches to take. Not only do men who are involved in day-to-day care of children reap real benefits, but their children are helped by male nurturing, as well. Benefits for the children of caregiving fathers are well documented. Fathers provide a distinct model of male behaviour for children that is different from mothers. Children who have caregiving fathers have advantages over those with traditional fathers. Adjusting our perception to how families work does not necessarily mean altering church doctrine or biblical theology. However, discovering how the community that our church serves has altered may call for adaptation of style and behaviour. Taking the time to consider what we can do to help individual fathers meet new expectations will make our
congregations a place of leadership in the community. Patterns help predict the future, which includes men with their children. That is good news for husbands, wives and children. Being relevant to busy couples who want to put family first means helping them move beyond the traditional role models of the 1950s and adapt to the new needs of the family in the 21st century. Having church leaders who are aware of the importance of men in childrearing will help in the understanding of new patterns. If the church updates the caricatures of families past with the realities of families in the present, it will give the church the opportunity to continue influencing the future through the leadership of fathers active and present. Indeed, “one father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” according to George Herbert.
