Capital ideas are percolating at TRU

FAIRBAIRNBRETT View From TRU

Education requires more than good programs and exceptional fac ulty (both of which TRU can boast). Good infrastructure enables and empowers learning. We will con tinue to look for ways to improve in all areas in the years to come.

The added route will provide more convenient access for staff and students who have children at the Early Childhood Education Centre and will alleviate traffic pressure on TRU’s other entrance gates during peak times.

Once again, the start of the academic year feels like a real event.Our grounds are alive with people. Students are back on campus in good numbers, bringing vibrance and energy. University education is essential for their future; you can feel their hope and optimism. A sense of purpose per meates our buildings.

New connector road: A new route to TRU from McGill Road was completed in mid-July, con necting the campus to the new Early Childhood Education Centre building. The new route travels from McGill Road beside the Early Childhood Education Centre to University Drive adjacent to the intersection with the Tournament Capital Centre.

SOCIETY NEEDS A CHANGE IN ATTITUDE

KTW readers Verita van Diemen and Lynnette Ferguson feel nothing is sacred after thieves pried three plaques from this andbetweenmemorialfamilybenchRiversidePioneerparks.

Editor:

I immediately spread the news to family and friends and everyone was appalled at this act of vandalism.

We are fortunate that we live in a province where elec tricity is produced by hydro power and this provides us with alternative choices. This doesn’t come for free, though, since dams flood a huge area of potential agricultural land, another rapidly diminishing resource.Society needs a change in attitude. This can be done, as proved by the campaign to get people to stop smoking ciga rettes.The trick is to involve all levels of government at the same time, as well as all forms of media.

My sister and I informed the city and filed a police report. I am also writing this letter to inform the public about this incident.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OPINION

Here’s what we don’t have: no initiative to encourage citi zens to buy electric vehicles, no bylaws to protect old growth trees on private and city-owned properties, and no teeth in the no idling bylaw since there is zeroInternalenforcement.combustion vehi cles still rule the city, as do developers. The latest proposal to require some basic infra structure for electric chargers in new apartment complexes is written in such vague language that developers can easily do little or nothing.

During the civic election campaign, KTW has identified four issues and is asking mayoral candidates about them. This is the second of a four-part series, with the remaining two issues to be addressed by candidates in subse quent print editions of KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

“There will be a smaller footprint, plus the smaller unit for these people to live in, and the cost will come down a little bit there, so hopefully they’ll be able to get in the market

“They don’t necessarily want to see various things and they’d be happy to see other things. Your home is your biggest invest ment, usually, so you want to make sure that you understand, you touch and feel what’s hap pening.”Singh said he was involved in electoral reform in the past, not ing a citizen’s assembly can be successful if done right.

“I feel that the zoning rules are there as a guideline. They’re the black and white. I think we can do more to kind of smudge those lines and try something new to encourage different types of development, especially more of the missing middle hous ing that’s more affordable for families who might not be able to own or afford a single-family home, but it would move them out of those units and apartment buildings that would then be available for, say, a student or a younger, lower-income renter.”

He said everyone has a stake in housing, noting it can be a hot-button political topic. Singh said he was surprised to see public support for legalization of secondary suites across the city and believes a citizen’s assembly involving all involved could lead to consensus-building.“Ifyoubringpeople together again, in a citizen’s assembly model, they’re all talking about

“I don’t know that I would be in favour, necessarily, of a blan ket policy reducing parking min imums, but in some situations, I think it makes sense. There are probably some other things that we could be looking at, as well, to try in certain areas on a perproject basis to get things going,” she said.

• Arjun Singh: Singh propos es convening a citizen’s assembly on housing supply and afford ability in 2023.

Singh said homebuilders have a “strong lobby” on directions they want to see to make housing more affordable, but he added it is important to also consider neighbourhood desires.

“It’s the opposite of a conten tious public hearing,” he said.

Housing affordability is in crisis mode, by many accounts. How can council make housing more affordable for buyers and renters?

“So, in other words, if a devel oper comes to us with a plan and everything that’s within that plan falls within the parameters of the OCP [Official Community Plan], why is this going to a pub lic hearing and why is it being slowed

and make it attainable.”

• Dieter Dudy: “It has more to do with the red tape that a lot of the developers need to go through.“We’re seeing developers becoming very, very frustrated by the fact that they can’t get things done. They can’t seem to get things done in a timely manner and that’s primarily because, No. 1, we have a short age of people in our planning department, but I’d like to see processes streamlined. I’d like to see unnecessary red tape taken out of the equation.

Note: Reid Hamer-Jackson was the lone mayoral candidate who was not available to be inter viewed by KTW for this series.

• Ray Dhaliwal: “For attain able [housing], we need to redo our zoning, infill some more on Brocklehurst properties. There’s only one house per 160-foot lot by 60-foot. You can put four to six to eight families on those,” he said.

Upon his death in 1790, Franklin left $2,000 to the city of Philadel phia and another $2,000 to the city of Boston.

We all know Ben Franklin as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. You may also know that he was a scientist, inventor and phi losopher But did you know that he was also a philanthropist, and when he died, he left a very interesting legacy for his two favorite American cities...

the capital gain. But when you donate and transfer the shares directly to BCICF, you owe no capital gains tax and you’re able to receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value.

The funds were invested, and after the ﬁrst 100 years, and as Franklin directed, the cities began making personal loans to young tradesmen starting out in business.

In his wisdom, Franklin had much to teach us. And, did you know that if you chose to start your own endowed fund or make a gift to one of the existing endowed funds at BC Interior Community Foundation 100% of your donation is invested?

BC Housing has shown it can strong-arm cities to approve projects on its terms, but it is our city and we need to push back if the negative impacts are not addressed.

Q1: Firstly, how council develops and implements its strategic plan is critical. It must be focused, transparent and clearly connected to tangible outcomes.Itmust be tied to an annual work plan and the CAO’s annual performance review. The public should clearly see, in regular reporting, how council’s priority outcomes are being achieved. Council is thus held accountable for progress. It is the glue that holds all the initiatives together, ensuring resources remain focused, connected and coordinated.Myplatform is based on six focus areas: spending, safety and security; shelter; support ing business success, sustain ability and shared engagement.

I’m not suggesting Kamloops should have no people, but if you think of any issue, it involves a person.

Correction In last week’s series of councillor candi date profiles, candidate Stephen Karpuk was referencing “pervious concrete” sidewalks for Dallas Drive, Parkcrest Avenue and Puett Ranch Road so pedestrians are safer. Unfortunately, an autocorrect feature in the editing process changed “pervious” to “previous.”

When you look at community challenges that have arisen from the increase in mental health addiction and the opioid crisis, it is easy to understand why there is a heightened sense of frustration within our city. We have to work with the RCMP, provincial and federal government agencies, not-for-profit organizations, community groups and taxpayers alike to resolve our safety issues.Speaking with those who are on the road to recovery, the call is for more detox beds, complexcare facilities and recovery centres and timely service from our local agencies.

However, while speaking with residents and business owners, the hot topic of concern is com munity safety on the streets.

Fourth, housing options for all types of people.Inthe past, single-family residential was the dominant land use in Kamloops. With thousands of students, growing numbers of seniors and shrinking family sizes in Kamloops, more options are required to make sure everyone has housing that works for their needs.

There is not one cause to the disorder, but as a community, finding solutions needs to be a priority. Housing and health-care options need to be provided. Changes to detention of prolific offenders, led by the attorney general’s office, should also be lobbied for by the City of Kamloops. Second, climate resilience. Our community needs to work to lessen greenhouse gas emis sions to reduce climate change. As well, we need strong climate-mitigation strategies to ensure fire, flood and other effects of climate change impact Kamloops as little as possible.

Q2: I know all of them and can work with any of them. I will work with any candidate who is elected by Kamloops voters.

“I think in our community, we have to be looking at residential construction in more of a timely manner, helping city planning to be a little more creative with some of the solutions,” he said. “I know they have a very good working relation ship with CHBA, but I think we need to explore and expand that oppor tunity.

Hall also suggested incentives for builders, including reviewing and potentially reducing development cost charges. He suggested develop ing an achievable housing reserve fund, noting other communities are looking at a similar initiative, where in the city and developers establish a reserve fund to help young families and first-time homebuyers with a down payment on a home.

“That’s going to pick up the pace in Quesnel and I think it would work nicely here,” he said.

Middleton said she will listen to builders and developers in the city to find issues for them in moving for ward on projects, as well as look into challenges faced by the city’s devel opment department. Middleton said the city’s 2018 affordable housing strategy should be reviewed and possibly updated.

RE-ELECT BILL SARAI FOR CITY COUNCIL Aurthorized by David Deol ddeol@telus net A16 WEDNESDAY, September 21, 2022 www.kamloopsthisweek.com LOCAL NEWS

Council candidates on housing affordability

• Stephen Karpuk: Karpuk said when looking at housing affordabil ity, it is important to look at a per son’s complete picture of living costs.

• Dale Bass: “Increasing the sup ply. It’s basic economics. Increasing the supply will help a lot, but it can’t just be single-family homes being built. We have to increase the supply of multi-family and creative multifamily. Not necessarily build up, but build creatively, like fourplexes, duplexes, triplexes, things like that, is one thing that we can start to do right away,” she said.

Basssaid.pointed to a mass timber housing project in North Vancouver constructed in 11 days, noting she would also like to see incentives for co-operative housing.

Hall said Thompson Rivers University also needs to be chal lenged to become a bigger partner.

Karpuk said city hall’s develop ment department spends a lot of time supervising parts of the process it should not be supervising. He said when engineers and architects sign off on projects, city hall should pro vide a checklist and expedite hous ing projects. Furthermore, he said, Thompson Rivers University should build more onsite dormitories.

Bass said some housing in areas with access to transit and near work places could have reduced parking requirements to lower costs for builders. She said she would also like to see builders get involved in mass timber construction, which is made by affixing or gluing together many pieces of wood veneers, flakes or dimension lumber to form stronger panels and beams. It is considered a green type of building material and Bass said it is as strong as concrete.

Sunderman said zoning needs to allow more units, such as row housing, on single-family lots. He also wants to see a dashboard developed to measure perfor mance and have an annual afford able housing forum to discuss innovative approaches and allow staff to discuss progress.

Sunderman also pointed to the Quesnel model of pre-approved secondary dwelling designs.

Marian Anderberg is running for school trustee in SD73, hoping to put mental health in the spotlight during her tenure.

SD73 has made a number of catchment area changes to manage student populations in schools, but overcrowding remains a problem, with a number of schools more than 150 per cent over their intended capacity, forcing them to rely on portables and sacrifice multi-purpose spaces to continue teaching.

“For the past four years, we have been working non stop to explore possible solutions to build a safer and healthier communit y for the citizens of K amloops. The single biggest impediment has been the ineffective approach of the majorit y of our current cit y council. It is time for a change There are no limits to the goals that we, as a communit y, can pursue and achieve Attainable housing for all, better shelter systems, better suppor tive housing, and dedicated addiction and mental health recover y facilities, are all achievable. Better and safer public transit systems, assistance for our seniors, better schools, recreational facilities and infrastructure are all wor thwhile goals that we can pursue K amloops Cit y Council needs to improve and widen its lane, in order to have any positive influence over other levels of government in addressing these challenges Let ’s get pro-active and vote for change, for a safer and more prosperous K amloops

The social worker and mother of a student in the district said she will use her experience to make mental health something that is OK to talk about.

A Kamloops man who was one of the subjects of a two-year drug investiga tion was the person shot and killed in a car along Ord Road in Brocklehurst lastLawrencemonth.

RCMP’s targeted enforce ment unit began follow ing suspects engaged in dealing small amounts of street-level drugs and was able to identify those responsible for bring ing large amounts into Kamloops from New Westminster, with arrests and drug seizures being made over the course of the summer that year.

As a result of that investigation, Pooli was charged with one count of possession of fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking and one count of possession of ammunition while prohibited.

KTW has learned local drug dealer Lawrence Pooli, who was one of five people charged in a multi-jurisdic tions drug trafficking investigation by RCMP earlier this year, was the man shot to death in a red Toyota Matrix along Ord Road just before 11 p.m. on Aug. 26.

Dhinsa’s body was found in a parking lot of a business on the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc reserve. He had been killed. Police said a black Honda Civic found 24 kilometres away, near the Lafarge Bridge in east Kamloops, was linked to Dhinsa’s murder, but Mounties have not confirmed whether that car was also torched, though it’s not believed that it was.

In April 2020, Kamloops

RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn told KTW police will usually release the name of the deceased if doing so will help further the investigation, noting that while the name of the Aug. 26 shooting victim has not been released by police, that could change.

Lloyd Pooli, born in 1990, was shot and killed on Aug. 26 near Ord Road and Singh Street, a few metres east of the Singh Bowl soccer fields, while in a red Toyota Matrix. A second man in the car was shot and taken to hospital

in stable condition. A few hours later, a burned-out Honda Civic was found in Rayleigh, which police believe

may be connected to the shooting.Afamily member con firmed to KTW that Pooli was the victim of the shooting and described him as someone who made some decisions in life none of his family will understand, but that he was a good son to his par ents and a good sibling to hisInsisters.February, Kamloops and New Westminster RCMP announced they had charged five local men, including Pooli, with drug-trafficking and fire arms offences.

Kamloops RCMP say there’s currently nothing to indicate the Aug. 26 Brocklehurst shooting death of Lawrence Pooli and the Jan. 28 murder of 18-year-old Sa-Hali secondary student Jagraj Dhinsa are related.

A few hours later, a burned-out Honda Civic was found a few kilometres away in Rayleigh, which police believe may be connected to the shooting, given the timing of the incidents.Kamloops RCMP Insp. Jeff Pelley told KTW earlier this week the homicide investigation is still in its infancy and he did not yet have any updated information regarding whether police believe the shooting has a connection to gang violence in the city.

Victim in Aug. 26 Kamloops shootings was subject of two-year police drug probe

LAWRENCE LLOYD POOLI

The investigation into Dhinsa’s murder is also ongo ing and being led by the RCMP Southeast District’s major crimes unit, with the support of the Kamloops RCMP’s serious crime unit.

Pelley said he has kept abreast of that investigation on a regular basis and described it as making progress.

While police have said they are trying to determine whether the fatal Brocklehurst shooting and Rayleigh vehicle fire are related, the practice of gang members committing murders before torching vehicles — usually stolen — is commonplace in the Lower Mainland gang wars and it has happened before in Kamloops.

On Sept. 21, 2017, Red Scorpions gang co-founder Konaam Shirzad was shot and killed as he walked near his Guerin Creek home. Afterwards, a Honda Civic, reported stolen out of Surrey, was set on fire in Upper Sahali, far from the murder scene. That vehicle is the same car from which the murder suspects were seen walking in the sur veillance video images released by police.

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

Police have yet to comment on whether the motives behind any of Kamloops’ three homicides so far this year are believed related to gang violence in the city.

Anyone with footage or information about the Dhinsa murder is asked to call the police information line at 1-877-987-8477. For those with footage or information related to the Aug. 26 shootings contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-30179.

He was charged alongside David Jeffrey Tremblay and Rylee Laureen Bains, who are facing drug-trafficking and weapons charges, and Jason Ray Sauka and Roberto Silio Lupi, who are facing drug-trafficking charges.Online court records show Pooli was the sub ject of numerous charges dating back to 2012. One file from an incident on Sept. 21, 2020, saw Pooli charged with a pair of break-and-enters, forcible confinement and assault with a Accordingweapon.to Pooli’s obituary, he was raised on a farm in Heffley Creek and was the youngest of three children. He also worked in the oil and gas industry and CN Rail before returning to work in the oil Kamloopsfield.

Following Shirzad’s murder, Kamloops experienced a wave of gang violence, including numerous murders between 2018 and 2019.

On May 23, 2021, a passerby in the Anglemont Mountain area said she felt her heart drop when she found dozens of bear paws discarded on a North Shuswap forest-service road and called in the COS. Several paws were on the road, but most were in an adjacent culvert.

The Conservation Officer Service (COS) has determined the discovery of numerous skinned bear paws last May east of Kamloops was the result of a taxidermist losing their lawful load.

Bear paws found in Shuswap belonged to taxidermist

charged with one count of robbery in which a firearm is used and are expected back in court on Sept. 20 for bail hearings.Those arrested were tracked down at various locations in the area, accord ing to the Kamloops RCMP, which is now asking the public for any dash-cam or surveillance footage in that block of McGill, as well as at nearby shopping plazas on Columbia Street and Summit Drive.Police said the shooting report is believed to be a tar geted incident. No one with injuries had been located and police believe there were no unaccounted suspects

Hunters, as well as those in the taxidermy and related industries, are required to dispose of wildlife remains in a lawful and ethical manner to avoid alarming passersby, as well as attracting dangerous wildlife to an area frequented by people, which can create a public safety risk, the COS statement reads.

KTW has a call in to Kamloops RCMP for addition al details regarding the incident.

Kamloops’ 50 deaths are the sixthmost among communities in B.C., behind Kelowna (51), Abbotsford (56), Greater Victoria (94), Surrey (136) and Vancouver (310).At least 10,158 British Columbians have died from toxic drugs since the provincial government declared a public health emer gency in April 2016.

As has been the case since the beginning, fentanyl is most associated with the deaths.

The monarch died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96 after spending 70 years on the throne.

A new light industrial park is planned for the Iron Mask area in southwest Kamloops.CometIndustries — which is based in Vancouver and holds property through out British Columbia — has submitted an application to the city to rezone 190 acres of land between Sugarloaf Road and Bowers Place.

The city has not seen a new industrial park for 25 years, when the Campbell Creek industrial park rose on the east side of Kamloops.According to the company, the projected value is $150 million in 2020 dollars over the life of the Cometdevelopment.hopestohave lots for sale by 2024.

A public hearing is expected some time nextTheyear.Comet site is at the junction of high ways 1 and 5 and the company has owned the land for nearly 50 years.

Peter leaves behind his brother Don (Olga), his two children, Steve (Fiona) and Joanne (Frank), and three stepchildren, Stuart, Todd (Leslie), and Kim. He will be profoundly missed by his 7 grandchildren: Brendan, Jayna, Caelan, Devyn, Madeline (Hannah), Quentin, and Simone (Quinn), as well as his nephews, Bill and Gerry, who kept him amused with phone calls and letters.

He was predeceased by his parents Jeremiah and Joanna Desmond, sister-inlaw Angela Desmond, brother-in-law Clarence Huculak and niece Sheila Desmond. He is survived by his wife Amelita and siblings Tim (Martha), Barry, Monsignor Jerry, and Catherine (Huculak), as well as his nephew, nieces and their families.

Peter Baron 1938 - 2022

Peter believed he had achieved no great status in life but had served his community He often noted that it was people who were important to the success of an undertaking not physical assets and he tried to conduct his life according to this premise. This was evident within both his service to his occupational community and the broader community as a whole. His occupational service included his Presidency of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board, multiple stints (6 years total) on the Real Estate Council of BC, and a Governor of the Real Estate Institute of BC for 4 years. His community service included sitting on school parent councils, board membership on the United Appeal, President of the Thompson Valley Credit Union, and twinning his love of biking with fund raising with rides for the Lung Association in a variety of locations.

He is survived by his wife Marjorie; children: Jim (Lenore), and Dianne (Kelly); niece Chelsea; brothers: Roman (Theresa) and Robert (Lorraine); grandchildren: Andrew, Nicky and Cody; and great-grandchildren: Keenan, Asher, Micah, Luca and Mia. Edward will be remembered by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Overall, Peter was known as the guy with a thousand sayings. A man who made friends easily and could hold long conversations with complete strangers. A creative person who was always generous with his time, understanding and support for others.

Born in Enderby BC (March 3, 1938), Peter began life on a small farm in Grindrod BC lacking electricity and running water What followed was a bit of a nomadic life chasing family employment to Nickle Plate Mine, Allenby (Mill) and back to the Grindrod (Mill) homestead. After high-school, he began his adult life as an auto-mechanic in Salmon Arm BC. Simultaneously, he continued his education graduating from the Chicago Vocational School in Edmonton. He was also always proud of the fact that he was only the 9th person in the province to hold a BC Government Automobile Mechanic Certification Qualification. Following his promotion to shop foreman at Columbia Auto Customs came a move to Kamloops and a service manager position at Eveready Motors Ltd. Peter then changed careers and began the rest of his working life in the real-estate business, first in a short-stint as a salesman, followed by a long successful career operating his own prominent Real Estate Corporation, Pyper Realty, for 30 years. An early career side gig as an appraiser and a late career addition as an arbitrator, book-ended this period of his Retiringlife.

He spent many years on the family farm at 908 Desmond Street where he grew and sold hay, apples, corn and delighted in growing various flowers. A man of great faith, John attended Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. He was a member of the 4th Degree Knights of Columbus. John loved his family and spent quality time with them at the numerous family gatherings throughout the years. Even through his trials and tribulations he maintained a positive attitude and a cheerful spirit. He will be greatly missed.

1937 - 2022

A special thanks to all the family, friends, doctors, nurses, and care aides who helped care for John.

Edward Herchak

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Peter Baron on September 5th at the age of 84. Predeceased by his father (Stephen), and mother (Mary), two wives Pat (Donnelly) and Sheila (Collier), and three grandchildren Fergus, Phoebe and Azra.

Peter also liked to point out he wasn’t much of a hockey player but he did try (a hallmark of his personality). He once suggested that this was the result of his teacher making him change the hand he wrote with when he was in school leaving him right-handed with left-handed skills. He did cherish his career year where he finished 2nd in scoring in the North Okanagan Hockey League, and his membership on the 4-time NOHL champion Salmon Arm Aces. He finished his career with “the over 70 boys” as a strong stay at-home defenseman. He similarly observed that the rest of his athletic career was not all that illustrious despite participating in the BC senior games 4 times in the bike racing where his best finish was 5th in a time trial event. But Peter also noted “I don’t do hill climbs.”

A celebration of life will be scheduled for Spring 2023.

in 1998, Peter began to explore the wider world for the first time, traveling extensively to various locations. He also continued his recreational passions of hockey, bike riding, and stock market investing, as well as his service and social activities that ranged from Rotary to Probus to ballroom dancing to appreciating the performing arts.

It is with deep sadness, we announce the passing of Edward Herchak on September 12, 2022, at Sturgeon Community Hospital.

Prayers will be held at 7:00 pm on Friday, September 23, 2022 Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Saturday, September 24 at 10:00 am. Both will be held at St John Vianney Catholic Church, 2826 Bank Rd. Kamloops, BC.

A particular community service that occupied a great deal of Peter ’s dedication was Rotary Peter joined the Rotary Club of Kamloops in 1979, serving as President in 1993-94, and remained a member until his passing. Peter really believed in helping those in developing countries with vaccines. Eradicating Polio was really important to him due to the reality that as a small child he had witnessed the effects of the disease on children he knew and its devastating impact on the community

William (Bill) Hunter Kelly A Life Well-Lived

WEDNESDAY, September 21, 2022 A43www.kamloopsthisweek.com

Bill was born to William and Emily Kelly, who resided in Avola B.C. (due to William senior ’s posting as CN section foreman). He was baby brother to Beth (deceased 2001) (Armand Cordonier) and Jean (deceased 1997) (Ken McDonald - deceased 2012). The family moved from there to Little Fort and finally to Kamloops. Life was good at 619 Pine Street. It was at this time that the lifelong friendship with Doug Drummond and Martin Dohm began, (with the threesome still reliving memories at Bill’s 90th birthday gathering) of boys paddling the river in their homemade kayaks, bicycling and roaming the hills and riding their Harleys in their young rebel era.

With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our dear husband, father, stepfather, grampa and great grampa, at RIH the evening of Aug. 28 - surrounded by and engulfed in the love of his wife Mary and family members.

In 1992 Bill began (what he referred to as) Chapter 2, when after retirement, he left the hobby farm and married Mary Spencer, also adding to the mix Mary’s three grown sons - Duane Spencer (Annie) — Steve Spencer (Cheryl) Jenna, Bailie, Erika — Kelly Spencer (Jesse) Liam, Ethan — as well as Mary’s large extended family

A celebration of life will be held at Sandman Centre (300 Lorne Street) on Saturday, October 29 at 1 pm. Lunch to follow

After settling back in Kamloops they started their family of four girls - Cathy Marr (Kim), Aaron Marr; Tina Marr Pat Ives (Mike - deceased), Jessica Ives (Ted Lawrence) and Jane; Libby Ives (Joe); Ali Ives (Kate) — Colleen Lepik (Kerry), Lea Lafontaine (Will) and Benoit; Scott Lepik (Shawna) and Henri, Brooklyn — Maureen Kelly (Tom Bill,Perry).Bessie

with his wife, favourite dance and golf partner, Christabel (Chris), and his sister, Joan, who preceded him in death. They loved him dearly and will never forget his wit, charm, grace and tomfoolery

Bill’s first job after cutting his schooling short in 1948 was as CN Crew Caller, often riding his bicycle many miles to give the ‘call’. He also worked as a masonry assistant. From there he worked as a much sought-after sawyer in numerous sawmills around the interior until finally obtaining a permanent position at CN as Conductor/Brakeman until his retirement in 1990 with the phasing out of the Incaboose.December

Upon suffering a major stroke in 2006, Bill remained resilient and accepting and turned to his passion of reading of BC History and amassed a large library of such. He managed to stay cheerful and often said “I’ve had a great life - all the way

curious, Bill was a life-long learner He was confident and capable with many abilities - though always humble. He is described by his daughters and stepsons as a man of integrity and a wonderful role model to them as well as his grandchildren. He was well loved and his large presence will be terribly missed.

Vance was born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 1936. He and his family would summer in Port Stewart and he loved to share stories of his adventures there including roller skating, golfing and general shenanigans. While studying medicine at Queen's University in Belfast, Vance met Chris, a nurse in training; they married in 1963. Vance worked as a surgeon in Northern Ireland before emigrating to Canada in 1970 with three children under the age of 4. Vance spent two years at the University Hospital in Edmonton before moving to Kamloops where he completed his career at Royal Inland Hospital. He made many lifelong friends throughout his medical career Vance retired in 1998 soon after moving to Sun Peaks where Vance and Chris enjoyed life on the mountain. Vance stayed at Sun Peaks after Chris passed away in 2015 and was well supported by friends from the mountain, especially Tom and Carol. Due to medical concerns, Vance moved to Ian and Erin’s house in 2021. We are thankful for their love and support.

William George Vance Mitchell

Tremendous heartfelt thanks go to the compassionate and exceptional nurses and doctors at Royal Inland Hospital and Kamloops Hospice. And many thanks to his primary care aide, Rya, who provided much more than comfort to him; they shared so many laughs.

Vance was so many things to so many people. He was a gifted surgeon; a loving husband and devout family man; a quiet, peaceful man; a funny, gregarious host; an avid sportsman; an impatient man; a patient man; an introvert and an extrovert. He had a finely honed Irish sense of humour and loved to tell stories. His children inherited their unique sense of humour from him. Outside of the operating room, Vance enjoyed golfing and fishing (and tying flies), but his happiest times were with his family

In Loving Memory of Donald Jerome Dircks

Glen was active in various wine clubs having learned the art from his father-in-law Wilf, winning several medals along the way Glen was a gifted amateur photographer, and made much use of his in-home dark room; in later years, he developed a greater appreciation for art. Camping was probably Glen’s favourite pastime, so much so, he helped found a camping club, Wagon Folks, organized originally around people with Volkswagen vans, forging many life-long friendships. As a family we went out camping with the Wagon Folks or by ourselves at least one weekend per month and took at least one major trip each summer The epic trek to the Yukon and Alaska in 1973 in the Westfalia (of course including a journey on the narrow-gauge White Pass and Yukon Railway from Skagway to Whitehorse, along the gold rush route) remains a highlight of our lives. A deep appreciation of nature is a huge part of Glen’s legacy to his children. After his retirement, blessedly early at the age of 55 (allowing him decades of enjoyment of his free time), Glen and Sandi moved to Squamish where he joined the volunteer staff at the Railway Museum of B.C., contributing countless hours to various projects. Upon relocating to Kamloops, Glen joined the Kamloops Railway Heritage Society, eventually becoming its president, and participating enthusiastically up until the last couple of years when his health began to decline. His den at home is a shrine to his love for trains and interest in the history of telecommunications in B.C. Sometimes all three interests would collide, as when he'd stop driving on a camping trip beside an old railway to scale an old telephone pole and scavenge a glass line insulator, especially a prized green or purple one, for his collection...

This northern Quebec town contributed to Mom’s love of astronomy, geology, curling, nature, mining head shafts, and family She cultivated her lifelong trait of self-sufficiency early on. As an only child in a male dominated town with few children, Mom used her incredible imagination and invented her imaginary friends, Minnie -all and Binnie -all; Mom often joked that they were much better friends than Alexa and Siri. When she was 15 years old, Mom moved to Stanstead on the Quebec-Vermont border in the eastern townships to complete her high school education. She lived there until she moved to Winnipeg to complete her nursing degree (class of 54B) and where she made lifelong friends. Mom’s nursing career spanned more than 35 years including as a matron of a northern Ontario hospital at 25, working in a women’s hospital in London, England and as a public health nurse in Manitoba and BC, and finally finishing her career in community and long term care in Kamloops, BC.

As the granddaughter of a baker, Mom made one-ofa-kind shortbread. In addition to baking, Mom’s other passions included music, curling, learning, reading, history, nature, loons, dogs, PBS, travelling, world news, Saskatchewan Roughriders, desserts and social justice. Mom loved to travel. On March 17, 2020, Mom moved from Kamloops to live with me in the Lower Mainland to keep her as safe as possible and her world as large as possible. The last 2 and a half years of Mom’s life were full of music, gardening and gardens, digital learning courses/concerts, road trips near and far including a weekly trip to her beloved White Rock, Saturday morning farmers market and bakery visits, picnics, laughter, baking, reading, love, learning Spanish, recounting family history, loving Chilco and Dulce, enjoying our small bubble’s valued companionship and keeping in touch with Alistair, other family and friends. Mom’s faith, her joy and her love of living were bedrocks in her life as well as her resiliency as she faced her own health challenges and supported Dad for 14 years after he became a paraplegic at the age of 70. Mom’s wonderment of life, love of learning and her family shimmered like a beacon that we are now left to continue. Mom, you are dearly missed and your legacy lives through each of us that loved your kind, generous, joyful and intelligent soul.

She was well known in the Kamloops Educational and Arts Community She started out as a high school teacher, later teaching English at the College before joining the Cariboo Management Centre. She loved her time as the curator of the Kamloops Art Gallery but is possibly best known for Owl Productions and her 7 years as an impresario bringing 1st class performances in theatre, music, dance and opera to the Kamloops Senior Secondary Auditorium. In 1984 she moved to Kelowna where she built "Picture "Perfect" - a successful retail art and framing store.

Jacquie found her perfect retirement spot at the Orchards Apartments in Victoria where she cultivated new friends and interests and had a full life for the last 15 years. Jacquie was a fearless world traveller - starting with long trips to Europe and Mexico in the 60's and 70's through to driving solo to Mexico at the age of 68 (after 7 previous trips) with multiple trips to Central and South America and working as a volunteer advisor with CESO, an international business development charity in Honduras, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia, all up to the age of 77.

However her heart could always be found at Little Shuswap Lake starting in 1961 in the 2 room original fisheries cabin which she later transformed into "Casa Jacquie" in 1992. Shuswap Lake is where her family has been gathering for more than 60 years and where she loved to host friends, parties and annual events like the Little Shuswap Ladies Invitational Golf Tournament. Everyone is always welcome at the lake! Jacquie was brave, independent, interesting, generous and collected friends wherever she went - she will be missed by so many

A celebration of her life will be held at Casa Jacquie next summer. Contact the family for further details.

Remembering Ishbel Elliot

Saskatoon, Grande Cache and Kamloops. Mom and Dad decided to establish roots in Kamloops where they raised my brother Alistair and myself, Katrina. Mom and Dad had many adventures including when a bridge had to be built to move to our new home in Grande Cache, driving from Saskatoon to Mazatlan, Mexico in the middle of winter for a four month holiday with us when we were 4 and 2, many trips to Scotland to visit family and a trip to South Africa, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Together, Mom and Dad loved to fish, rock hound, camp, explore backroads, participate in Caledonian Society events, dance and garden.

“And, so, any kind of therapy that we can provide to that parent to normalize their feel ings and also acknowledge their own past hurts and how that’s coming up for them right now — even that can help that parent go back in with their child and be more attuned and feeling a little bit more secure in their ability to parent throughout this crisis.”

A Toast to You has been organized by Thrive Clinical Counselling and Consulting, with proceeds going to Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Centre.

“I was having, like, a nervous break down a bit because of what had I had just gone through. And so I called in and I’m like, ‘I just don’t know what to do. I can’t handle this. Like, it’s too much. And I’m so stressed out.”

Big Bear connects families to supports, including therapy, that promote long-term healing and cultural well being. Another aspect of Big Bear is that it has a warm and inviting Kamloops office where various agencies can work with families, away from the more stark environs of their institutions.

From A1

“So, literally, it is a one-stop place where kids and families can come to. Instead of going to the police station, child-protection agencies, the court house, the hospital, everything can be done at Big Bear, where we have family advocates that support the kids right from the get-go,” Ettinger said.

Big Bear: one-stop place for help

“We had to work through that expe rience before I could even help them with the trauma of why they got into the system in the first place.”

And that was one of the biggest things she taught me, was that it’s OK, what I’m going through is OK and the emotions that I’m going through is OK. I don’t want to repeat myself, but, yeah, like it’s not my fault, it’s not.”

From B1 Abuse can happen in any home

“And, you know, the guilt and the shame and the fear— she helped me help myself. And to have that resource and to have that offering, I don’t even know how to say it. I don’t know what I would have done without it. You know, when you’re going through something so horrible in your life and then there’s this program that you randomly find and they’re the great est thing ever and help you in such a time of crisis.”

“If that pattern continues when chil dren are scared and in crisis, emotional development may be delayed and selfesteem may break down. And the worst case is relationships break down during these crisis when the children and par ents need each other the most.”

ling.“It’s overwhelming, being involved in the child-protection system, the jus tice system,” she said.

“What I’m going through isn’t my fault and what I’m going through isn’t my responsibility — I think that was one of the biggest things I learned,” she said.

Ettinger said the child and youth advocacy centre concept started as experts learned more about trauma.

“It was the very first person in this town that made me feel like everything’s, you know, going to be OK and help me navigate through what’s going on in my head at the time,” she said.

“Things change with ages and stag es. If the abuse happened when they were seven, they may interpret things differently now that they’re 10 or 14 and that can impact the family, as well.”

“You could be supporting somebody that you don’t even know is already going through this. You know, we cover up our wounds and our tears.

opened its remote testimony room so children do not need to go to the courthouse if their testimony is needed in a

“The clients that I have worked with in my career talk about what their parents said and what their parents did when they needed them the most,” McCabe said.

“If the response is helpful, the child comes out of difficult experiences feel ing safe and cared for. What we hear the most is parents doing the best they could and, unfortunately, that might mean withdrawing, shutting down, becoming upset and angry themselves.

Another insight that came to her is the fact abuse can happen in any home, which is why she feels the A Toast to You fundraiser is so important.

So, she noted, it stands to reason that if children do not have stable care givers and a stable environment, the likelihood of them coming out of a cri sis or a traumatic event in like any kind of healthy fashion is low.

Each case that comes to Big Bear is assigned to a family advocate, who works with the family through the entire process and beyond, if necessary.

“And what we’ve learned over the years is that actually being involved in the system after, potentially, a child has been abused, the system creates a lot of secondary trauma,” Ettinger said, not ing her work as a therapist with abused children often involved addressing trauma from being involved in the criminal-justice system.

“We cover it up really well as victims, so helping out can be helping anybody.”

“And privacy is really what they’re seeking. What’s great about Big Bear is we only have one family in at the centre at a time to respect people’s privacy. But they’re also seeking that through counselling.“So,thisis an amazing project that Thrive thought of.”

Thetrial.last stage is to have the SCAN (suspected child abuse and neglect) clinic move from Royal Inland Hospital to Big Bear’s office.

The family advocate, Etttinger said, is that “steady person” that helps pre vent people from falling through the cracks.“You can really change the trajecto ry for a lot of children and families just by that ongoing support,” she said.

Her son is now six, a victim of domestic violence and a child with special needs. He continues his thera py and she is taking what she has learned and using it to help her son with his trauma.

“It’s not my fault, you know, because being an abused person, you take on this guilt and shame that you don’t need to carry because it’s not your fault.

While there are services locally to which Big Bear refers families, Ettinger said many parents and caregivers have expressed a need for private counsel

When children are in crisis, they need their parents the most. It is difficult for the staff at Big Bear CYAC to connect parents with timely trauma therapy to promote healing.

In Kamloops, there are different agen cies and services for children who struggle with mental health and the detrimental effects of trauma and abuse. For the parents and caregivers struggling with the same ele ments, there are limited services and longer wait times. Responses from parents to their children have the biggest impact on develop ment, self-esteem and future success.

Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.toPleaseincludeashortbioandaphoto.

Now, intentional listening is nothing new in the Christian tradi tion. But a book full of stories of people hearing God’s voice, coming from someone I knew and trusted, encouraged me pursue this practise for Themyself.method my cousin lays out is simple. First, quiet your heart. Second, focus on Jesus. Third, ask Jesus a specific question. Fourth, note any thoughts and images or voice.Just to be clear, this isn’t brain storming.

It requires dis cernment to recognize whether the thoughts are divine or my own.Yet through this intentional listening to God, I believe I’ve heard God’s voice. So far, I haven’t heard any audible words. The communication I’ve received is more often an impression of a word or an image that speaks to my personal cir cumstances.Whenitcomes to intentional ly listening for God’s voice, I have lots to learn.

One of Wallace’s men retorts, “Is your father a ghost or would you converse with the Almighty?” Stephen replies, “In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God.”Looking heavenward again, Stephen says, “Yes, Father,” then pro claims to everyone: “The Almighty says, ‘Don't change the subject, just answer the [expletive] question!’”

The Bible teaches that God frequently communicates with people. And the experience of many Christians supports this.

He then addresses Wallace: “If I risk my neck for you, will I get a chance to kill Englishmen?”

The book is full of anecdotes of the various ways God has communi cated with my cousin and the people with whom he worked. This is the fruit of his own practise of intention ally listening to God.

So, when Bob and Pat King, both in their 80s, saw the ad for a free digital literacy program in The Senior’s Connector, they thought, “What have we got to lose?”

When asked what they liked about the program, both replied, “Well, we just love Sarah!”

The first thing Sarah did was to make the font size bigger on their devices. They then learned how to text. Now they can text their three children, none of whom live here, and feel more connected to family and friends.

“Our kids are totally impressed that we are doing this,” Pat said.

f you had thought you were too old to text, download an app or surf the net, the past two years probably changed that thinking for you.

Both agree they have gained more confidence using their devices and are more interested in learning about all the things they can do on them. Bob is quite impressed with all the apps, including Google maps and Google calendar, and couldn’t believe there is a compass on his phone.

They both have iPads, share a cellphone and have a desktop computer and a laptop at home. When asked what they were having trouble with, their answer was succinct” “Everything!”

They also like that they can ask their own questions, set their own goals, work on their own devices at our own pace and that it’s free.

The pandemic forced us all to become digital learners. To participate fully in society, digital literacy is the new essential skill.

Suddenly, you had to talk to your doctor on Zoom, download the ArriveCan app to get back into the country and scan your vaccine card to eat out.

“After thinking about it, I was left wondering how I could help,” said Randy. “I had a conversation with my wife and how the thought of a book club might interest him.”

The plan would entail Leif choosing a book and reading it with his dad at bedtime. He would then bring the book to Randy to read the following day. On the long and bumpy ride home, the two would discuss the book.

Wilgosh provides cultural programming to Early Years children in many communities in the North Thompson Valley at weekly playgroups and via licensed childcare programs. Wilgosh makes regular visits to programs for children and families in Blue River, Vavenby and Barriere. She also holds gatherings for families and participates in numerous community events. Takehome craft bags containing dream catchers, medicine

bags, song sheets, Michif colouring pages (with traditional language words in English Cree-Michif) and traditional food recipe cards are available to families.

“When I first heard about the book club from Randy, I thought it was a great idea,” said Ryan Erickson, the child’s father. “Leif is normally a very hyper child who loves his electronics and playing outside. He was never much for reading, especially with me. But since the start of the club, I have noticed that his reading has improved quite a bit and his confidence is going up as well.”

“Raise-a-Reader funding is a major contributor in enhancing the YCS Indigenous Early Years Program,” said Wilgosh.

Randy and his “buddy,” 8-year-old Haldane elementary student Leif Erickson have created a bus ride book club, the first of its kind in the district.

School District 73 bus driver Randy Trowsse is part of a prestigious club with some unlikely friends.

The idea was born as Randy and Leif chatted during their usual ride to pick up the next students. Leif is the first stop of the day for Randy and lives on a remote logging road, which makes for a slow, 10-minute drive to the next stop. Leif mentioned to his driver that he didn’t like to read.

“We hope to work with these enthusiastic readers to help others by rating the books they have read,” said Barbara Maher, literacy outreach co-ordinator for Chase Literacy.

Chase Literacy Program helps by supplying books for the newly formed club.

What began as a dynamic duo reading short stories has blossomed into more challenging reads like chapter books and the addition of a third eager member, Haldane student Taryn August.

said Wilgosh. “This includes building awareness of the importance of early childhood development while also engaging the community in taking part. We enrich community resources for the benefit of our young children and provide more opportunities for families to access available resources. We are committed to supporting and promoting the importance of traditional ways of early learning, through play, songs, stories and drumming for the healthy development and wellbeing of all Indigenous, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children, their families and their communities.”

“The activities focus on Indigenous and nonIndigenous children, their caregivers and families who want to learn more about different Indigenous cultures,”

Thus, Thumper’s Book Club was born — Thumper referring to the name of the bus.

Wilgosh’s Connection Circles continue to provide new and unique ways to connect with children and families in the area who also receive take-home activity packs that provide nutritional support.

“All Raise-a-Reader funds donated in our area are matched, in whole or in part, by government and national corporate sponsors. Raise-a-Reader funding is used to support this outreach program through wages and program supplies.”

arlier this year, KTW published an article about an act of kindness from one of the bus drivers in Chase that has since gone viral. The story is a good reminder that everyone has the power to change a life.
