The SD73 district parentadvisory council (DPAC) said data from the 2018 McCreary Centre Adolescent Health Survey shows students ages 12 to 18 in the region are more likely to have had sex and to have experienced sexual harass ment and dating violence at higher rates than the provincial average. That age group also shows declin ing contraception use.

Solomon, a sexual health edu cator herself, said the plan SD73 has come up with is not sufficient and doesn’t address what she calls a crisis

Inglis acknowledged it can be challenging for teachers to have those kinds of conversations, noting the district does plan on continuing its use of guest present ers. But, Inglis added, the goal is to create an environment in which

“If you look at the parents’ concerns, they feel that we need to have sexual health educators who are certified to teach three or four lessons. I’m not saying that’s not good, but I’m saying it’s not good enough. We actually have to have training for all teachers to act in inclusive ways all day long with students because a student isn’t necessarily to disclose that in 90 minutes with an outsider.”

Nixon said the district is not opposed to providing more staff or certifications if needed, but added what is in place is a “pretty com prehensiveSolomonprogram.”doesn’tthink the training will go far enough and is concerned the results of the next McCreary Centre survey will show little has changed. The next survey is set to be conducted in 2023.

SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER

Some parents within School District 73 are concerned about the level of sexual health education their children are receiving — something district administrators are hoping will be addressed with a new plan to train teachers across multiple grades.

Becoming a co signer creates a direct link to your assets, even after you have died. Your child’s creditor now becomes your creditor So, if your child cannot pay a loan that you have co signed, that creditor could attempt to seek payment through your estate Subsequently, your children may not receive the proceeds of your estate as you intended.

Inglis said training is underway for Grade 8 and Grade 9 physical and health education teachers, with training for Grade 7 teachers later this fall and for grades 4 to 7 teachers next spring.

Vessy Mochikas, assistant superintendent for inclusive edu cation, said the new plan will mean sexual health education is consis tent across the district.

“Every adult in the building needs to be prepared to have that conversation,” Nixon said.

Co signing during your lifetime can have unintended consequences when you die. When a person co signs a loan, they and the borrower agree to be jointly responsible for the debt. If the borrower doesn’t pay, a lender can demand payment from the co signor before, or instead of, first demanding payment from the borrower

Helping with your Children's Loans?

“They don’t seem to under stand the harms that could be done by implementing a plan that isn’t safe or by having teachers who don’t have the proper train ing teach this material,” Solomon said. “Talking about bodies, gender, sexuality or sex is hard for most people. Most people are not com fortable with this.”

In today’s economic climate, it is understandable to want to help your children by helping with their loans However, you should first consider the effect your attempt to help may have on your overall estate plan

The group presented the data to the Kamloops-Thompson board of education in April and has also met with district staff.

But after meeting with district administrators multiple times, DPAC members feel they have not been heard and continue to press the issue in light of the new plan.

An organization of parents has called on SD73 to provide more consistent and equitable sexual health education to the district’s students, citing survey data that shows some troubling outcomes to make their point.

“We feel like there’s a real dis connect between how the district

“They think they can pull something together in six months and have teachers working in class rooms, and my parent point-ofview and my professional point-ofview is that that’s not safe,” she said.

“We feel we have a very robust, inclusive, comprehen sive, evidence-based curriculum that fits with what the Ministry of Education requirements are, that is beefed up by excellent resources, community partners and mentor ship available,” Mochikas said.

“Wesituation.sayitneeds to be done now and they say they have a long-term plan to address it. That’s where the disconnect lies,” she said.District co-ordinator Alex Inglis, who is working on training SD73 teachers as part of the plan to address sexual health education, said she knows it can be a difficult topic for teachers to tackle.

As for getting people to actually vote on Oct. 15? Well, if 35 per cent of eligible Kamloops voters actu ally vote, it just might be a “Stop the presses!” moment.

In 2018, turnout locally was 30.6 per cent (below the provincial aver age of 35.6 per cent). But voter turn

Last Friday was the deadline for candidates to file nomina tion papers if they wish to run for mayor, a city council seat, a school board trustee seat or a director seat on a regional district board.

out locally in 2014 (34.9 per cent), 2011 (31.9 per cent) and 2008 (30.2 per cent) exceeded provincial aver ages by slight margins.

The mayoral race will likely be the most interesting in Kamloops since 2005, when Terry Lake was elected.Thepast few elections have largely been coronations for either Ken Christian or Peter Milobar (save for the latter’s near-defeat to the then-unheralded Dieter Dudy).

Butballot.nonames can be added, so the list is as long as it can be and we in Kamloops have five people run ning for mayor, 23 people seeking eight councillor seats and 11 people vying for five city school board seats. How does that compare with previous general civic elections? Well, in the last two elections, the number of city school trustee can didates has not changed too drasti cally — 10 in 2018 and 15 in 2014.

If you are fed up with the streetrelated social and crime situation and feel council needs to take a harder approach when dealing with BC Housing and local non-profits that run shelters, there are candi dates for you.

The forum will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University.Theforum — co-hosted by KTW, CBC Radio Kamloops and Radio NL — will follow the format of the successful 2018 civic election forum and will feature a mayoral session, followed by groups of coun cillor candidates taking to the stage in 20-minute increments to answer questions from the public.

ATTEND A FORUM, GET INFORMED

At city hall, the numbers and male-female ratio in this election and going back four elections is intriguing.•In2022, there are five mayoral candidates and 23 councillor can didates.•In2018, there were two may oral candidates and 21 councillor candidates.•In2014, there were four may oral candidates and 28 councillor candidates.

You can attend in person and ask a question of the candidates or you can catch the forum online via KTW’s Facebook page.

If you believe an arts centre and more ice rinks and pools are just too expensive right now, there are can didates for Regardlessyou.of your views on cli mate change, bike lanes, property taxes, parking and snow-clearing, it is likely you will find at least one candidate among that list of 23 who agrees with you. Will you find eight? Maybe not, but you are not required to vote for the maximum eight can didates. You can walk into the poll ing booth and vote for eight, or two, or four, or one — or none.

If you feel council needs to con tinue doing what it is doing on the issue, there are candidates for you.

Who wins? Hard to say, but each and every candidate needs their vocal online supporters online (and there are many) to translate that keyboard passion into trips to the polling station on Oct. 15. With seven out of 10 eligible voters likely not to vote, recognizing which 30 to 35 per cent will vote and appealing to them will be crucial.

CIVIC ELECTION OCT. 15, 2022

• Councillor candidate Nancy Bepple is once again organizing an election seniors forum, something she has done in the past four elec tions, regardless of whether she was a candidate.Theforum will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at noon at the Desert Gardens Seniors Community Centre, downtown at 540 Seymour St.

This year’s mayoral elec toral battle should be a recipe for intrigue. Take an outgoing mayor who always topped the polls, add in two businessmen who hope to tap into the public anger over streetrelated issues and mix in three incumbent councillors.

• In 2011, there were four may oral candidates and 24 councillor candidates.•In2008, there were three may oral candidates and 26 councillor candidates.Thisyear’s election is the first this century to include a female candidate for mayor — Sadie Hunter.Meanwhile, the female-male ratio of councillor candidates this year is 30 per cent (seven women and 16 men). That is right on par with past elections, save for 2014, when the percentage of female councillor candidates was a healthy 43 per cent (12 women and 16 men). In 2018, 2011 and 2008, women councillor candidates com prised 33, 29 and 31 per cent of the ballot, respectively.

I have reflected on the past four years on what I would have done dif ferently and how I will vote in the Oct. 15 civic election.

I noted that perhaps all services can be centralized, such as Service Canada has done, with a one-stop shop. My letter did not get published, but I was so pleased when another Kamloopsian wrote in with the same idea.

I attend meetings, participate, write letters provide feedback and speak up in a manner that encourages our local government. I will be at the polls this fall. For that, I am responsible.

I was disheartened to see Save-On-Foods has followed the lead of Real Canadian Superstore and is no longer publishing a weekly grocery flyer in print editions of KTW

The one issue that continues to generate discussion, concerns and questions in the city is the subject of homelessness and related social problems.

COUNCIL NEEDS TO LOOK OUTSIDE ITSELF

The Kamloops and District Chamber of Commerce has put forward a land trust policy document proposing a “robust mechanism for ecological land donations.” These are the kinds of solutions to seek. Additional consider ations include maintaining awareness that industrial land must be preserved for business development and that social housing and its occupancy should be regularly inventoried.

We can find realistic solutions to complex problems without resorting to extremists who don’t truly understand the issues, will hold up productivity and lack the most basic qualifications required of a prominent community leader.

• Darpan Sharma: Sharma said council has been lobbying the province, similar to other munici palities, but it is not working.

Sharma also wants to increase competition amongst social agen cies that have contracts with BC Housing, calling it a “monopoly” in Kamloops. Sharma said the city has to be an equal stakeholder in decisions on shelter locations.

Sharma said his plan would be to lobby with council in the first six months, then look at fining nui sance properties, including social agencies and hotels hosting their clients.Healso wants to look at zoning and invoke rules that prohibit peo ple from living in hotels. He said the city can withhold funding and utilize its good neighbour bylaw.

King said Kamloops was the only city to disband its bylaws department during the COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of a crime wave. She said other cities chose to increase bylaw divisions by add ing higher-level and better trained community services officers to existing bylaws officers.

In addition to active transportation infrastructure, Proctor cited property crime, homelessness, the opioid cri sis and housing affordability as issues in the upcoming election.Asked why someone should vote for him, Proctor said: “I think one thing that I provide that’s kind of unique is I am, I think, the only can didate, the sort of blue-collar working class that’s still just an actively working individual, so I sort of bring a unique perspective in that regard, just a different outlook that comes from me, Joe-Blow Worker Bee.

At the time of his death, Hibbert, 29, was wanted on rob bery charges. He was one of three people arrested and later charged in connection with the Aug. 3, 2021, robbery of the Lordco Auto Parts east of downtown, which was followed by a van used in the robbery being set ablaze in Riverside Park.

RCMP responded at 6:50 a.m. on Jan. 23, 2019, to the parking lot of the Super 8 motel in Valleyview, where 31-year-old Cody Mathieu of Kamloops died of apparent gun shot wounds.

“We’re happy to say we have the first portion of that unit going to be staffed this month and we’re going to be very progressive on the offenders responsible for those drivers and any increases,” Pelley told the committee.

Crimes against persons is also up seven per cent over the second quarter 2021, which was up eight per cent from that quarter in 2020.

Pelley said the detachment’s proactive crime-reduction unit has not been staffed for the past year, but noted two constables and a corporal will shift to that unit at the end of September and focus on tar geting prolific offenders.

MORE FROM THE DATA

Meanwhile, police attended 182 intimate partner violence calls in the second quarter of 2022, which is down from 196 over the same period in 2021 and a four-quarter high 240 in 2020. They were in line with the 181 in 2019.

In the second quarter of this year, there were 153 Car 40 inter ventions, down from 240 in 2021, 237 in 2020 and 196 in 2019.

He said police have been calling for addi tional charges on those files.

Pelley said he included stats from 2019 as the world begins to enter post-pandemic era. Outgoing RCMP Supt. Sad Lecky has previ ously noted there was a rash of property crime in 2020 as a result of pandemic restrictions, leaving more businesses closed and fewer eyes and ears on the street. He has also said the pandemic years of 2021 and 2020 are considered anomalies.

According to the RCMP statis tics, there were 2,348 reported and confirmed property crimes in April, May and June of 2022, up 17 per cent from the 2,000 reported over the same period in 2021 and 26 per cent more than the 1,861 registered in 2020.Compared to the pre-pandemic year of 2019, however, there was a four per cent increase from the 2,255 property crimes reported during that year’s second quarter.

“We are seeing some challenges of offenders being released with quite a lengthy criminal record,” Pelley told the committee. “Our crime-reduction unit will be able to focus on our top offenders as they get out in the community.”

Pelley told the committee he is not sure what is responsible for the reduction in calls between 2022 and 2021, noting some repeat offenders have had success with the program, but noted it could be that fewer calls are being attended as the two positions involved in Car 40 have not been fully active.

“We’ve got a full season ahead for us to chip away at things,” Clouston said. “It doesn’t have to be solved right now, but there’s an awareness that what we are set ting out to do is challenging, that we’re going to support each other through this year and try to have a lot of fun doing it. A lot of times, people in general, and maybe young people, have a tendency to withdraw a little bit and not reach out to get some help. Right from Day 1 with Bob, we’ve discussed those things and encouraged players to reach out.”

Daylan Kuefler fires a puck on net on Friday at Sandman Centre. Kuefler is among the Kamloops Blazers’ leadership group, which plays a key role in relaying strategy for mental performance coach Bob Wilkie.

The pandemic forced Wilkie into working with the Blazers mostly through Zoom, but inperson visits have resumed and he joined club staff and several leadership group players for a Sun Peaks retreat in August.

leadership group players is key, as lessons filter down through them. “We’ve been instilling that since Shaun became part of the Blazers’ organization. During the pandemic, we were on calls every week. We really got to know each other and talk about a lot of things. It has been the focus and theAddedmandate.”Clouston: “It’s probably more challenging for some people than others. It’s a challenge in life, in general. There is only so much you can do about the future. You have to take care of today. We’ve tried to be very process-driven.”

the culture of hockey isn’t always the safest place for young men,” Wilkie said. “That’s a lot of our focus, is getting them comfortable in the environment, normaliz ing the fact that we all deal with different things throughout our careers and that when we can reach out, ask for help and learn some valuable things, what was a big issue once is now not.”

Shaun Clouston was hired to be head coach of the Western Hockey League club in June of 2019 and immediately acquired the services of Wilkie, the team’s mental-performance coach who lives in Calgary and runs I Got Mind, which offers social and emotional learning programs.

“That helps,” Clouston contin ued. “Just knowing this is chal lenging and I am going to feel some things and they’re going to be a little bit uncomfortable, but we’re all going to work together to try to help each other out and if players need a bit of extra help, we’ll make sure they get that.”

The Kamloops Broncos are aiming to snap a three-game losing streak on Saturday, with the Prince George Kodiaks coming to town for a 6 p.m. start in B.C. Football Conference action at Hillside Stadium.

“It’s one of the most ful filling things in the world,” he said. “As a young guy in their position, striving to be what they’re trying to be and knowing that I didn’t have the skills and didn’t have the people around me where I felt comfortable, it’s very rewarding to be able to be that sounding board and resource for the younger players of today.

Several Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association products toiled for B.C. and earned medals at recent national championship tournaments.LandonLockwood claimed gold at the under-15 Field Lacrosse National Championship earlier this month in Fredericton. B.C. knocked off Ontario in the final.

Gemini, this will be a week to focus on financial gain, but don’t put too much swagger into your business negotiations; other wise, your plans may backfire It is possible that you have outgrown cer tain people in your social circle, Virgo Don’t feel bad about removing those who fit this description There are new friends to be made Move at your own pace this week, Sagittarius There is no reason to rush around Take leisurely breakfasts and enjoy strolls around the neighbourhood Do you need a confidence boost, Pisces?

You may feel that others are not giving you the respect you deserve, Scorpio If this pertains to your career, start polishing your resume and putting out feelers

You may be tempted to live the week in a fantasy world, Taurus However, there are too many pressing issues that need your attention for you to tune out

The perfectionist in you may be unhappy with the work of a loved one or colleague, Aquarius Try not to critique the job they do harshly Let constructive criticism prevail

Glen David Bertram of Kamloops, BC, passed away on August 30, 2022.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Sally Tupholme. She died peacefully on Sept. 2nd with her daughter Nicolette and granddaughter Jessica by her side. The late summer evening held a hint of autumn in the air, reminiscent of times spent at her favourite retreat at Park Point on Shuswap Lake; a cabin where she shared many happy hours with her children and grandchildren and entertaining family and friends, especially at Thanksgiving.

Sally’s interests were many and varied. She was known for her sense of style and grace, ability to make every meal she prepared a culinary delight and her attention to detail. She was a formidable Scrabble player, sewed, knitted and crocheted to create professional looking garments, linens and gifts, was an avid reader and had an incredible memory for facts. Sally also enjoyed bridge and theatre, served on the board of the Kamloops Symphony, the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, and the Kamloops Parks and Recreation Commission.

Sally was a keen tennis player both on the court and in supporting tennis in the community Her formal training in physical education and physiotherapy ensured that she was very fit and capable on the court. Sally’s competitive streak made her a sought-after partner but her most cherished award was the one she received for sportsmanship.

Sally was predeceased by Ted Joslin, (the dreamer and husband she emigrated to Canada with in 1956) and her brothers Tony and Don. She lost her loving husband of thirteen years John Tupholme in 2007. Sally’s generous heart extended openly to her entire family This included her children and their partners Dominic and Mary (Australia), Simon and Dalyce (Victoria), Jolyon (Kamloops) and Nicolette and Vic (Kamloops) and Nicolette’s first partner Wilf (Kamloops). Her grandchildren Jessica, Dustin, Joel, Simon, Marianna, Noel, Gabrielle and Katherine and great grandchildren Madison, Joe, Teddy and Margot, were forever a delight and joy to her Sadly, it will have to be through shared memories that her great grandchildren Jakob, Tommy, Sid, Henry and Mariarosa learn of the limitless love Sally had for her Sallyfamilynever

will be a small informal open house for family and friends on October 15th between 2 – 6 pm at 755 St Paul Street in Kamloops for those who wish to pay their respects and take a moment to reflect on Sally’s life. She was dearly loved and a true inspiration.

And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour

Although an electrician by trade, he was very skilled with his hands and took to woodworking in recent years and was also an avid leatherworker in his younger years. He used to camp, play in ball tournaments and party with friends until eventually putting down roots in Kamloops, BC and later retired to the Shuswap where for over two decades he has proudly tended to his home. He enjoyed puttering in his shop and his gardens – Did he ever tell you story about the squirrels that tried to steal his tomatoes? Later in life he learned that he enjoyed travelling and looked forward to getting away each winter for an adventure or two. He was involved in his community and could sometimes be found “volunteering” at the Sunnybrae Senior ’s Center flipping pancakes.

A private family memorial is planned for a later date.

Robert Randal Smith

Margaret was always adamant that no fuss be made, so there will be no service.

The world is definitely a sadder place without him. He was taken far too soon.

Robert Randal Smith passed away peacefully on August 6th, 2022, surrounded by his loving family Robert was predeceased by his wife Marjorie. He is survived by his three daughters, Randi (Norman), Robin (Greg) and Jessi (Ken), his six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, brother Carman (Barbara) and nieces and nephews. Robert was born and raised in the interior of British Columbia, spending his formative years in Blue River, Vernon and Kamloops, where from a young age, he came to love the landscape, the climate, and the outdoors.

In 1946 Margaret married her best friend’s brother Scott, who ranched south of Kamloops. In the 1950’s the couple built a home in Knutsford, where they lived for over fifty years. Margaret never gave up her fight against weeds on the driveway, even after she moved into her daughter ’s house next door. During the last ten years, Margaret received understanding and compassionate care at ACSS, and since January 2022 at Overlander

Margaret’s one true source of joy was her grandchildren, and each of them have many fond and funny memories of their grandma.

Lucas Lee White

Margaret Hutchinson will be remembered by literally thousands of former students from a career teaching in Kamloops elementary schools from 1944 until 1990 and from decades of volunteerism at Kamloops United Church, and in various literacy programs following her official retirement.

August 25, 2022

Lucas was a kind and generous person, known as “that guy” who would help anyone in need. He could grow anything and his gardens were amazing. He could build anything including structures and furniture. Lucas could fix anything from small motors and appliances to vehicles and farm equipment. He was a very good mechanic. Lucas drove semi trucks for a number of years and had just recently made the choice to return the school.

Robert’s main priority was his family and he was a devoted husband to his wife Marjorie. As a parent, father-in-law and grandparent, Robert was always ready to chat, be a mentor, and watch a hockey game. He will be dearly missed by his family and memories of him long cherished.

August 13, 1974 - August 19, 2022

Margaret Helen Hutchinson

In 1953, Mom married my Dad, Bill Lehrle, had two children: Gar th and Vashti In 1975, the loss of Gar th, a Bush Pilot in Prince Ruper t, took a toll on Mom and their marriage Thankfully her creative talents, sewing, knitting, embroider y, and painting, brought her peace. In our Tsawwassen home, with a hammer in hand, Mom displayed her ingenuity, determination, and independence by building a large bar in the family room I am sure this is where I learned to swear Mom enjoyed long walks, coffee at Donna’s Rocky Mountain Café followed by games of Bridge Oh my gosh! She loved Bridge She also loved her son in law Terr y Lawrence for his big Sunday night dinners making sure she had her favourites Sonia was “Abba” to her Grandchildren,

Later, Robert moved to Vancouver to study at the University of British Columbia, graduating as a civil engineer (class of ‘49). He was also on the UBC hockey team, and belonged to the Varsity Outdoor Club. Robert had a long and successful career as a civil engineer His projects took him to many parts of the world, presenting him with both interesting work and travel opportunities.

‘Where the Roses never fade’

Rest easy love.

Howard wanted to help future patients of IPF and insisted that his body be donated to the Science department at UBC to help learn more about this terrible disease.

Howard loved his family of course but we all know what he really loved (and hated)…his sports! Howard was a passionate Canucks fan (some might say TOO passionate), a dedicated Blue Jays fan, a BC Lions fan and later on, a Raptors fan. If you wanted to know where Howie was on a Saturday night, you could bet he was in a living room watching hockey, swearing at Rob Shick, “shooting” at the opposition or Hi-Fiving the

course of the last few months, hundreds of friends, young and old, have reached out, expressing their love and warmth but there seemed to be a reoccurring theme; How comfortable Howie always made people feel, how big his heart was and how everyone was always welcome at the Stein house. If you grew up on the North Shore between 1992-2000 odds were you attended at least ONE of the infamous Stein house parties… AND odds are you shared a laugh with Howie!

She was an incredibly strong willed, witty, gentle, and brave women. She had never given up hope during her strenuous battle with cancer The absence she leaves behind in the lives of those she touches will weigh heavy on many hearts.

A special time for us all to enjoy was the Rock Creek Family Reunion. Families from everywhere came for this fun packed weekend of music and talent. The highlight was floating on tubes down the Kettle Creek River on those hot sunny days to cool off. These times are cherished memories.

It is with great sadness and infinite heartbreak that we announce the passing of Howard Scott Stein. Howard had an uphill battle in his fight with Pulmonary Fibrosis and succumbed to it on his own terms with his cherished family right by his side. He was upbeat, happy and making friends with passersby right until the very end, in true Howard fashion.

We loved mom for who she was. She passed on her strength and unconditional love, she was a remarkable woman, strong and determined with a beautiful smile.

She passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital surrounded by her loved ones.

Arlyn West (Froese)

In loving memory of our mom. Mom went peacefully with her five children by her side at the age of 86, on September 2, 2022, at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in Kamloops, BC.

Mom ventured off opening businesses, Budget Boutique (Brocklehurst), A’Jays decal T-Shirt shop (Westsyde) and A’Jays Shoe and Sears pick up in Osoyoos with her sister Judy

Her pride and joy were all her grandchildren, Nana loved spending time playing card and board games, she was competitive! Nana also treasured her one-on-one talks with her grandchildren and looked forward to their warm hugs and kisses.

Howard also loved scoping out vintage cars, listening to his Elvis and his 70’s Gold, watching his Young & The Restless soap (which always baffled us!) and spending time with his wife… his best friend… his confidant…Laurie. While battling IPF, he was able to find some peace living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in the small community of Sechelt where Laurie and Howie were able to play in the sand and bask in the sun.

She leaves behind her husband Clayton, two children Jake and Lexi, sisters Debbie (Greg), Delores, and younger brother Wade (Thersea), in-laws June and Wilfred Bells, Shawn (Rechelle), Kim (Kevin) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She will be remembered fondly by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family and friends on both sides of the family She will be additionally greatly missed by her beloved dog Raine.

She will be dearly missed by family

Having heard of the royal visit to the River City, Blades’ class was eventually chosen to be part of the entertainment during the stopover in Kamloops.Bladeswas among eight pupils chosen to perform a dance dressed in Dutch costumes, which were made by mothers of the children.

In July 1959, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived in Kamloops at the Canadian Pacific Railway station. From the rail sta tion grounds, the motorcade of the Royal party toured a small area of Kamloops, then headed to the baseball grounds at Riverside Park, where they were escorted to a raisedAfterplatform.theceremony, the motor cade proceeded west on Victoria Street, crossing the bridge and passing through North Kamloops

and Brocklehurst en route to Fulton Field at Kamloops Airport.

There were presentations from several other schools before the Royal Family continued on their trip.In the fall of 1951, the thenprincess and family again visited the city, greeting residents in RiversideAndreaPark.Martin was five years old in Grade 1 at Lloyd George elementary in late October 1951 when the school’s entire student body and all staff marched down to Riverside Park to see Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip.

In May 1971 during B.C.’s Centennial Celebration, the Smokey 2, a four-engine aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force, landed in Kamloops and taxied to the passenger terminal building. On board were Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and Princess Anne.

Martin, who retired from teach ing 20 years ago and now lives in Victoria, said seeing the princess that day still resonates with her today.“That is my most exciting memory of Kamloops,” Martin, 76, said. “I just remember how excited we all were to be taken down to Riverside Park, the whole school, to meet Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. I was looking for a real princess with a real crown and all that. But it was raining and miserable and she was wearing an ordinary wool coat and hat. But we were still so exited.”

It was warm that spring day and Blades fainted. She recovered after some time in the medical tent and joined her classmates for the dance.“Ido remember this,” she said, “They were on a platform on the last car and they came out to greet us and we danced.”

In March 1983, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip again visited B.C., spending time in Victoria, Vancouver and Vernon, with Prince Phillip stopping in Kamloops.

It appears the Royal visit only lasted between 35 and 50 minutes.

Martin said a classmate was also searching for a fairy tale prin cess, at one point being shushed by a teacher for shouting out, “She isn’t a real princess!”

In May 1939, the Royal Family visited Canada for a six-week coast-to-coast tour by train, including a stop in Kamloops.

of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 8 at the age of 96 elicited a flood of memories worldwide.Someof those memories came from Kamloops residents as Elizabeth visited the city four times — twice as princess and twice as queen.Elizabeth’s death prompted local aviation historian Neil Burton to note visits to Kamloops by the queen over the years.

The Royal party entered auto mobiles, travelled eastward along the apron and returned via the airport entrance road, where about 4,000 people were waiting around the parking area. A dais was set up in the parking lot just to the northwest of the passenger ter minal. The queen didn’t address the crowd, but the royalty mingled freely with the crowd. Queen Elizabeth was presented a bouquet of flowers by 10-year old Vivian Zumino.Mayor Wing presented the queen with a painting, on behalf of the citizens of Kamloops, of the Balancing Rock near Savona, by local artist Doris Nelson.

During that 1971 visit, the roy alty also visited Prince George, where Jim Madill told KTW he met Queen Elizabeth when he was 17 years old and in Grade 11. Madill said he spoke to the queen in Fort George Park.

The future queen and her hus band were not scheduled to be in Kamloops, with the visit an unex pected side trip from their official

Madill said Queen Elizabeth was “a very remarkable lady who is going to be missed by a lot of people around the world.”

Kamloops resident Rose Blades was six years old at the time, attending a one-room schoolhouse in Brocklehurst and among those chosen to be part of the entertain ment during the royal stopover.

“I spoke to her very briefly because she had so much security around her,” Madill said, noting he told her he was a trainee reporter at the Prince George Citizen. “I said, ‘It’s nice to meet you. You’re a very beautiful person.’ And she thanked me very much.”

Jan Surline sent KTW this photo of her sister, Girl Guide Patricia McComb-Woo, presenting a bouquet to Queen Elizabeth II in July 1959. Surline said her sister had an interesting conversation with Prince Phillip about Tranquille, where the family lived. “He said they would dip a wing when they flew over Tranquille to say hello — and he did!” Surline recounted; Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip visited Vernon in 1983, with Prince Phillip splitting off to stop in Kamloops (Kamloops News photo).

Entering the bay, the wind picked up and was blowing straight into us. We had to stroke-stroke-stroke in order to make headway and our initial 20-minute trip became a 35-minute workout.

God wants to relieve us from these and give us His peace. Jesus said, “Come to me all that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

There God revealed to him that He was not the tempestuous wind or the shattering earthquake or the devouring fire, but a still small voice.

“Cease striving and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

“O Sabbath rest by Galilee. O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with Thee, the silence of eternity, inter preted by love. Silence often connotes to us aloofness or indifference.

A summer study from a hymn of faith

After all the high pressure activities, he suffered a breakdown and just wanted to die. He ran a marathon and hid himself in a cave fearing for his life.

“In simple trust like theirs who heard/ beside the Syrian sea/the gracious call ing of the Lord/let us like them without a

a few hymns of the Christian faith have originated from real life situations or because of special occasions.

Perhaps it’s a call to go deeper with the Lord rather than being ostentatious with our personal and church activities.

We should let the Spirit of God work through us, then surely we will be engaged in building His kingdom.

The hymn, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, is no Theexception.writer, John Greenleaf Whittier, a Quaker, was reared in an environment where his family was given to meditative silence.Anobnoxious and noisy “revival” service is said to have moved Whittier to write the said poem, wherein he paints the finest picture of true worship in five stanzas.Itbegins with “Dear Lord and Father of mankind/forgive our foolish ways/ reclothe us in our rightful mind/in purer lives Thy service find/in deeper reverence praise.”Nodoubt the poet had in mind the story of the Gadarene demoniac who was a raving lunatic, crying and cutting him self with stones (Mark 5:1-15).

When he saw Jesus, he cried with a loud voice: “Jesus, the Son of the Most HighButGod.”Christ did not accept his noisy, demonic worship, but quietened him and then healed him. It seems Whittier wrote not “foolish ways,” but “feverish ways” in theThisoriginal.stanza is a prayer for spiritual sanity instead of religious madness.

Is this not our real life picture?

FAITH

In a frantic race with life, we miss the very essentials — peace and rest. For the fishermen to leave behind two boats full of fish to follow Jesus was something unusual. Something extraordinary must have happened. They saw something far beyond their livelihood. Now a new rev elation had come to them.

If we cannot make it by fair means, we are tempted to go into devious ways.

language where their voice is not heard. Yet the communication was full of meaning, love and worship.

The troubled world wants to see peace. The Christian’s witness for God is an ordered“Breathelife. through hearts of our desire, Thy coolness and Thy balm, let sense be dumb, let flesh retire, speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm.”

Here it means God the Son communicating with his Father in love and adoration. There is no speech nor

“Drop Thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess, the beauty of Thy peace.”

Here is an illustration from the Old Testament story of Elijah (1 Kings 19:916).At Mount Carmel, Elijah showed his zeal for God by calling down fire from heaven and slew 450 prophets of Baal.

In that calm voice, God commanded Elijah how to build up the ministry of anointing kings. He asked him to find a successor to continue God’s ministry.

He did to Elijah. But we will not be able to hear His voice if we are ‘busy’ for God.

God wants to speak to His followers as

We work for present comforts and future security.

What the poet perhaps was trying to tell is that life is not a rat race of running, of activities, seeking fame and popular ity. In running the race of life many get stressed and have mental breakdowns.

This scene comes to us from Luke 5:111 from the desperate cries of the fisher men: “Master, we toiled the whole night and have taken nothing.”

Then the 80’s came and my Mom decided it was time for a replacement. So she went out and bought him a new recliner - not a La-Z-Boy - and lucky me! I inherited his chair and brought it to Kamloops. Dad absolutely hated the new chair and we always heard about it!

Then the 90’s came, my Mom passed away, my Dad came to live with us and he was in his glory when he saw “his chair” in front of the TV.

In the early 70’s in Calgary, Dad bought this La-Z-Boy and it quickly became the “Archie Bunker” chair. When he came into the room, whoever was in it quickly got out!

Well, soon after, Dad passed and this chair always held a special place in my heart. Today, I have bought myself a new La-Z-Boy but with great sadness. Dad’s chair still works great, but it is time... I have a picture of my Dad sitting in “his chair” and the memories will stay with me forever!
