AT LAST, JESSIE SIMPSON IS COMING HOME MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
Savona man who nearly died after being assaulted with a baseball bat on a Brocklehurst street six years ago will this weekend be able to spend a night at home for the first time since the life-altering attack. While out celebrating the end of the school year on June 19, 2016, Jessie Simpson, now 24, was beaten into a coma by Brocklehurst resident Kristopher Teichrieb, who has since been given statutory release after serving two-thirds of his seven-year sentence for aggravated assault. Simpson wandered onto Teichrieb’s property in the early-morning hours and the attack, which took place predominantly in the street when Simpson fled, left the then-18-year-old with permanent brain injuries, confined to a wheelchair and in need of 24-7 care. Simpson spent 10 months in a coma and currently lives at The Hamlets at Westsyde, but has gradually recovered over the year to the point where his mother, Sue Simpson, is now able to bring her son home on weekends, beginning this upcoming Victoria Day long weekend. Numerous retrofits have been done at the family’s Savona home. “It’s been a long time coming,” Sue said. “I’m ecstatic. I cannot wait to have him home. It’s been a long journey not

even knowing if he’s going to live, never mind coming home.” Sue said she has received approval for the return from her son’s various care providers, having stocked up on supplies and equipment and put medical and transportation plans in place. “It’s been a few weeks of meetings having them come to the house to approve everything,” Sue said. The retrofit included adding a hospital bed with a lift assist and installing a ramp, a wider door, a new deck, a cement pad and new flooring to accommodate Jessie’s wheelchair. Her son will be picked up at The Hamlets this Friday and driven 45 minutes to his hometown of Savona, where he will now be spending weekends. During the week, Jessie will still live at The Hamlets, where he receives rehabilitation. Sue said caring for her son alone on weekends will be a big job as he requires constant attention, but she added she is looking forward to spending time alone with him. “Jessie’s still in a diaper, he still needs to be washed and changed and fed and watched 24 hours a day, but he’s a joy,” Sue said, noting she is curious to see her son’s reaction to being home. “I think it will be a lot for Jessie to take in for the first weekend. His routine is his routine,” she said. “To sit down and have a meal at our own kitchen table and just to be together at home is pretty exciting.” After the attack, Sue said she was told

by doctors Jessie’s brain was so damaged that he may never eat on his own or talk again and that he could possibly be on life support his whole life. Jessie, however, has exceeded expectations in his recovery, as he is now able to speak in full sentences, feed himself and put on his own shirt. Sue credits that to the care he has received and his youth. “Jessie is starting to be a little more independent,” she said, adding, however, that a specialist who makes her son’s leg braces said he will never walk again. “Jessie’s feet are too turned in now from not standing over the years,” she said. Sue plans to have a 25th birthday/ homecoming party for Jessie at the end of July now that he can be home on weekends. Those who wish to send him a birthday card can do so by mailing it to PO Box 233 Savona, B.C. VOK 2JO. Meanwhile, Sue plans to begin a Justice for Jessie petition, the details of which are still being determined. Simpson sued her son’s attacker and won nearly $7 million in damages. To date, she has not received a penny. Lawyers representing Jessie have accused Teichrieb of hiding assets after the attack in anticipation of a lawsuit. Teichrieb is alleged to have sold his $587,000 Clifford Avenue house to his parents for $1 six months after the assault. That issue is being dealt with in a separate court proceeding, which has yet to begin.

Dearborn has deep roots in community CONTINUED FROM F1 Our charities are certainly blessed to be based in a city that truly supports its residents. From individuals to businesses, the culture of community in Kamloops is as strong as it has ever been. One such company that continues to lead by example when it comes to supporting the community is Dearborn Ford, a local dealership in Valleyview that has roots in Kamloops going back almost a century. Dearborn general manager Justin Grover explains why his team continues to invest heavily in its community. “It’s really not about the advertising or financial return on our investment when it comes to supporting our community” Grover said. “I have seen this dealership thrive because people in this community continually show up for us and support our business. I feel like we are indebted to the Kamloops community for everything they have done for us.” Alongside the community support is the fact the Dearborn team has perfected strong business practices that have led to third generations returning to invest in their new vehicles. “Absolutely,” Grover said. “We have an
amazing team here, as well as multiple generational employees, but the community culture still holds true. Our whole team consistently treats our customers as they themselves would want to be treated.” Grover touched on the fact all Kamloopsians are neighbours. “You’re going to see your customers again, whether it’s at the next Blazers game or when you’re walking through the local grocery store,” he said. “And we all want to be able to hold our heads high and know we did everything we could to make the customers’ experience unforgettable.” A big part of what makes the Kamloops community truly a community is the tireless giving and the ripple effect of one business giving back, which in turn encourages other businesses to do the same. Grover said Dearborn gives everything it can when connecting with Kamloops. “If we donate $100,000 to local charities and initiatives, it doesn’t make us better than other local businesses,” he said. “It’s just what we are able to do as one of Kamloops’ largest dealerships. When another local business donates their hard-earned time or resources, it’s not the amount that is important, but rather their commitment to our community
that stands out. This is what makes me so proud to live and work in Kamloops.” Kamloops can be seen coming together for myriad causes and those who have lived in the Tournament Capital for some time may assume such a giving spirit can be found in all other communities. However, as the website GoFundMe confirmed in a December 2021 report, Kamloops is the most generous city in Canada, ranked No. 1 in the nation with the most donations to charitable causes per capita last year. That may be the signal for all Kamloopsians to start taking note of how supportive city businesses are and making plans to support them back. Many readers may have seen the posts on social media reminding people that large online retailers like Amazon aren’t going to sponsor their daughter’s soccer team or donate thousands of pounds of food and thousands of dollars to the Kamloops Food Bank. When we make the choice to support the local business community, we help empower them to continue supporting local initiatives we all value — and the community stands tall together.
General Manager Justin Grover and staff, gather round a current Mustang model in the showroom.

Has mandate impacted shortages? CHRISTOPHER FOULDS KTW EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Staffing shortages continue to plague Royal Inland Hospital, with the pediatric/obstetric unit closed this past weekend due to what Interior Health called “limited unforeseen staffing availability.” The obstetric portion of the unit reopened on Sunday and pediatric reopened on Monday. Interior Health told KTW a number of patients were moved to alternate units and four patients were transferred to alternate facilities in the health region. The health authority said it could not get into the specifics of the patient transfers, citing privacy issues. “When a particular unit or hospital is facing staffing challenges, our priority is to ensure that all patients get the care they need in the right location,” Interior Health said in a statement in response to KTW’s query. “Our hospitals work

as a network and there are various situations where patients are moved to alternate facilities. “We recognize this was not ideal and concerning for those who were impacted and we are sorry we had to take these necessary steps. These decisions were made in consultation with our pediatrician and other physicians with the safety of mothers and children being the focus in each case.” The weekend unit closure follows numerous incidents in which doctors and nurses have told KTW and other media of shifts at RIH during which an extremely low number of staff are on duty. Interior Health said the vaccine mandate has had “minimal impact” on the staffing shortage at RIH when KTW asked for statistics on the number of employees lost due to their decision to not get vaccinated against COVID19. Across Interior Health, 895 health-care
workers lost their jobs due to the vaccine mandate, 66 of whom worked at RIH. The breakdown at Royal Inland: 28 nursing staff, including RNs, LPNs, student nurses and care aides, 17 in support services, nine clerical, six technologists/technicians and six in allied health. In February, 28 nursing grads were added to the RIH employee roster. Due to privacy reasons, Interior Health said it cannot disclose the number of physicians at RIH impacted by the vaccine mandate. It did note 10 physicians across the health region were impacted by the vaccine mandate, with an “extremely low” number of doctors affected at Royal Inland. Health Minister Adrian Dix stated last week that 98 per cent of physicians in B.C. are vaccinated. RIH now employs 2,595 people, of whom 1,075 are nurses, with 69 on temporary leave.

Mayor pans riding proposals
Dr. Albert De Villiers faces one count of sexual assault and another for sexual interference following his arrest in Kelowna in June 2021. The charges stem from alleged incidents in Grande Prairie, Alta., where his trial will be held. KTW PHOTO

IH’s former top doctor to go on trial in January BLACK PRESS
Interior Health’s former chief medical health officer will stand trial in January 2023 for alleged sex crimes against a child. Dr. Albert de Villiers’ case will be heard at Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench in Grande Prairie from Jan. 10 to 12, according to that province’s Justice and Solicitor General office. De Villiers faces one count of sexual assault and another for sexual interference following his
arrest in Kelowna in June 2021. RCMP have said the offences allegedly occurred between 2018 and 2020 when de Villiers was Alberta’s north zone lead medical officer based in Grande Prairie. At the time of his arrest, De Villiers was Interior Health’s top doctor and its primary spokesperson during the COVID-19 pandemic. Details of his case, including the outcome of a bail hearing, are protected by a publication ban,
Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian is unhappy with proposed changes to the local federal riding makeup. Christian criticized the possible changes in the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission’s new electoral map for British Columbia that would see east Kamloops split from the remainder of the city. If approved, the east part of the city would be in the North Okanagan-Shuswap riding, with the rest of the Tournament Capital part of the Kamloops-Thompson-Lytton constituency. Currently, the entire City of Kamloops is part of the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding, a constituency that stretches from Kamloops and north past 100 Mile House and Clearwater. Christian said he has an issue with the redistribution taking the neighbourhoods of Campbell Creek, Barnhartvale, Dallas, Valleyview and Juniper Heights and adding them to the North Okanagan Shuswap
riding. “Which I believe is simply an exercise to create the sufficient number of bodies that are required for an electoral riding,” he said. The problem with doing that, Christian said, is that any issues those Kamloops residents have with items such as Employment Insurance, passports, immigration documents and the Canada Revenue Agency will have to be adjudicated at a constituency office out of town, while other residents are able to access a local MP. “I find that inconsistent with what Kamloops is all about,” Christian said.

He recommends there either be one riding of an adequate size for Kamloops or, if the riding must be divided, that it be partitioned into north and south sections, as is the case with the provincial ridings. If an east and west division must be done, Christian suggested it be done without cutting off a specific chunk simply to balance the population. “This notion of simply trying to get to the numbers without taking into account trading area, hospital district, school district, areas of employment and where people live and the communities that are involved goes a little too far,” Christian said. He urged the public to express their opinions on the document and, if they feel the same as he does, to let the commission know as they redesign the ridings in the Kamloops area. The Kamloops hearing in the proposed changes will take place on June 16 at 7 p.m. at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre at 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen.

STAFF REPORTER

A Kamloops woman accused of setting fires in rural areas near the city has had a bail hearing decision postponed until next week. Angela Elise Cornish, 42, was arrested on May 11 and charged with multiple counts of arson following a joint investigation between the BC RCMP and BC Wildfire Service. The charges are connected to four fires — one in Monte Lake on April 30 and three in Lac Le June in early May. Cornish was in court this past Monday for a bail hearing, the details of which are protected by a court-ordered publication ban. She remains in custody this week as a decision on her release has been set for May 26. According to online court documents, the reason for the
hearing includes a technical suitability report, which are ordered and reviewed by justices to determine whether to impose electronic monitoring conditions on an accused. On April 30, police said, a resident in the Monte Lake area east of Kamloops encountered a suspicious vehicle on a forestry road while investigating some smoke in the hills. The resident took note of the licence plate on the pickup truck and reported it to the RCMP. Other residents then reported to police their own encounters with the vehicle, driven by a woman. “I wish to acknowledge the
tremendous assistance of the Monte Lake and Westwold residents who provided our investigators with the valuable information we needed to successfully advance this investigation,” Supt. Brad Haugli, the RCMP’s Southeast District commander, said in a statement. Monte Lake, about 45 kilometres east of Kamloops on Highway 97, saw many homes and structures destroyed by flames last year when the White Rock Lake wildfire ripped through the community. Wildfires can be reported to BC Wildfire Service by calling 1-800-663-5555 or dialing *5555 from a cellphone.

Newspapers are not packaging
A
cross the world, municipalities and provinces have been moving their recycling program to extended producer responsibility (EPR). EPR is great in theory and in practice. It levies fees on manufacturers and retailers for the packaging that wraps everything from the food we eat to the toys with which our kids play. Any parent who has helped their child open a new toy knows that between the thick plastic that practically takes garden shears to open, the twist ties and the cardboard, there is still far too much wasteful packaging associated with so many products. EPR has one laudable objective — reduce packaging in the waste/recycling stream. It does so by shifting the burden of recycling costs from taxpayers to producers. When producers must pay these fees, they innovate and find ways to wrap their products in much less packaging. Since the advent of the Blue Box, newspapers have had the highest level of collection of all recyclable materials — more than plastics and even more than aluminum. Newspapers continue to be a valuable recovered resource in the recycling stream. They have a stable end market and high commercial value. And recycling newspapers saves trees. Newspapers have always been a public good. The dissemination of news to the public is a necessary element of a vibrant and healthy democracy and a well-functioning society. Fake news — around COVID-19, elections and many other issues — has highlighted the importance and value
ANOTHER VIEW
JAMIE IRVING AND PAUL DEEGAN of credible news provided by trusted media sources. Newspapers allow the reader to pause, engage and reflect — providing an important service that is not met through other media. So, what does any of this have to do with extended producer responsibility? Until recently in Ontario, the EPR program in most provinces of Canada has treated newspapers the same as waste packaging. Unlike product packaging, the newspaper is the product. Publishers have moved to thinner paper to lower our footprint. Driving up the cost of newspaper production with EPR fees drives down the content as newspapers are forced to cut pages and, therefore, value to readers. The knock-on effects are a loss of jobs, many of which are unionized, in a sector that is already facing many external challenges and a less informed citizenry. Across Canada, newspapers face a patchwork of provincial regulations, administrative regimes and fees. The levies charged are based on opaque formulas often devised by monopolies controlled by waste haulers, retailers and consumer packaged goods companies. In British Columbia, for example, the levy on newsprint went up by 80 per cent in a single year, while the levy on plastics remained flat. That’s not fair.

We cannot have a misguided system that puts newspapers at risk at a time when the public needs trusted sources of information more than ever before. The unintended consequences of EPR on newspapers are to reduce the number of pages in a newspaper or for the paper to simply close. This has a detrimental effect on both readers and advertisers across Canada. Recently, the Ontario government issued a regulation that will exempt newspapers from EPR levies in the province. Canada’s newspaper publishers applaud this change and we hope other provinces will follow Ontario’s lead. Alberta is about to put an EPR regime in place and British Columbia is working through changes in that province. We hope Premier Jason Kenney and Premier John Horgan will exempt newspapers. To its considerable credit, the federal government has taken meaningful steps to support local journalism across Canada. Provincial and municipal governments should not undo that with punitive fees that are based on the flawed premise that newspapers are unnecessary and wasteful packaging.

WE NEED ROUTINE KRUGER PURCHASE IS GOOD NEWS SURGERY HERE means or the supports to be able to go to Chilliwack. It is perplexing that a city with a population of about 100,000 does not have the capacity to perform such routine surgery on an individual in a wheelchair. As people age, statistics indicate some of us may lose their mobility and most of us will develop cataracts, requiring surgery.

Canadian company. But the reality is it is part of the complicated and opaque multi-billion-dollar corporate empire of Sinar Mas, owned and run by the Sino-Indonesian multi-billionaire Widjaja family. Part of that group includes Asia Pulp and Paper, which has a track record of huge default financial arrangements and runs a large pulp mill in Indonesia that is always looking for overseas fibre. A good example of Paper Excellence’s community relations can be found in Nova Scotia. Several years ago, the company purchased the Northern Pulp mill in Pictou County. In 2020, the Nova Scotia government shut the mill down due to a wholly inadequate effluent system. Shortly after that, Northern Pulp

applied for bankruptcy and creditor protection through B.C. Supreme Court, seeking relief for debt payments, including $85 million owed to the Nova Scotia government and several million dollars owed to the workers’ pension fund. In late 2021, Northern Pulp filed a statement of claim, suing the Nova Scotia government for $450 million, alleging the mill was shut down improperly. Earlier this year, the company asked the B.C. judge to order the Nova Scotia government into mediation. That order was granted on April 1, with Northern Pulp choosing the mediator. Thankfully, this company will not be operating in Kamloops much longer. It has a reputation of playing both ends against the middle, taking advantage of tax breaks and government handouts. If it does not get them, it plays hardball and shuts the operations down, with no consideration to the employees or communities in which it operates. Goodbye, Paper Excellence.

Editor: The recent announcement that Kruger Inc. of Montreal has purchased the Kamloops pulp mill is good news for the employees, the community and the province’s pulp industry. Paper Excellence recently acquired the mill as part of the US$3 billion Domtar purchase, but the Canadian Competition Bureau ruled the Kamloops operation could not be included in that sale. That ruling, citing too much control and influence of the industry, came amid many red flags that went up around North America when Paper Excellence started eyeing Domtar. Paper Excellence now operates more than half the pulp mills in B.C., two in Saskatchewan and one in Nova Scotia. Since the Richmond-based company started acquiring these mills, it has shut down two in B.C. Paper Excellence own two mills in southern France and, in 2021, completed a complicated deal to acquire Eldorado Brasil Celulose for US$4.7 billion.

TRU convocation truly a community celebration
O
f all the rituals we mark or celebrate in our society, few are as universally appreciated as convocation ceremonies. We all understand them to be celebrations of achievement. They are exciting and happy times for students and their families — and for a good reason. They mean something, and not just for those students who cross the stage. The smiles and excitement of proud parents, family and friends in the audience all make clear that many people value and appreciate what is happening at convocation. We are on the cusp of convocation season at TRU and already our teams are buzzing with pre-event activity. There is a great deal to do to arrange for the convocation of hundreds of graduates and it takes many people to pull it off. This year will be additionally hectic as we will also offer graduates who were denied a ceremony in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic the opportunity to don a gown and

cross the stage in front of family and friends. It was sad that so many students lost the ability to have that experience because of COVID-19 and restrictions and I hope most of them will return to avail themselves of the chance. I am very grateful I will again have the opportunity to preside over convocation in person. Recording video messages for virtual events hasn’t been the same. Convocation is the highlight of a
university’s year. It’s our celebration season. During convocation, we commemorate the achievements of students, faculty and staff members and leaders in the broader community. Many students succeed at university on their terms; they might only have sought to learn a specific skill, take a class of interest or try something out for the experience. These are all successes, but for those who have been pursuing a certificate or degree, crossing the stage at convocation is an enormous event. Convocation isn’t just about looking back at what students have accomplished. It’s also about injecting skilled new graduates into our communities with all the energy and ideas they bring. Some are graduating with specific job-ready skills in trades and professions. Many have gained work experience through job placements and employment during their studies. Many more have developed the skills in active listening, clear communication, analysis and teamwork increasingly demanded by employers today. Whether they will contribute to business, human services, arts and
culture or any other area of community life, graduates represent hope for the community’s future. At a time when our economy and society desperately need people and talent, convocation is like a shot in the arm that comes twice a year. It’s also worth recognizing those who make this possible because it’s a cooperative endeavour to get students to this place of success and accomplishment. There are the faculty and instructors who teach the courses. The supervisors and preceptors who oversee students at work. The support staff, laboratory assistants, counsellors, advisors, librarians, university maintenance staff, IT specialists, groundskeepers and more. Everyone who works at TRU has played a part. The government and taxpayers of B.C. also deserve recognition, as they make all this possible. The provincial operating grant pays for a substantial part of the university’s overall budget. In addition, student grants and loans are essential to helping many students get through with relatively little debt. Lastly, it’s important to show grati-
tude to family, friend and neighbours who have supported our new graduates in countless ways. Many students are not in it just for themselves, but are looking to better the circumstances of their family or others. Convocations are indeed community celebrations. But it’s the students who deserve centre stage. Not only has each of them worked hard and well, but they have helped each other. The most inspiring thing at TRU is the leadership provided by students. This is evident in students who volunteer and work to help other students, whether as tutors, wellness ambassadors, international and research ambassadors or in other roles. I am inspired by our students and energized by the drive, ambition and hope they bring. To all those who will soon cross the stage at TRU, I offer my congratulations and my best hopes and wishes for your future.

How Do I Reduce My Estate Taxes? Before COVID-19, we often held client appreciation events including educational seminars on specific financial planning topics. To date, our most attended session was estate planning and strategies to reduce taxes. We never thought talking about death and taxes could fill a room. Our previous article discussed potential tax implications when one passes, including income tax and probate fees. As promised, we are following up with strategies that can help reduce tax burdens: 1.

experiences a marital breakdown, business failure, or personal lawsuit. Furthermore, adding one adult child joint, but not all of your children could cause misunderstanding and/or potential strife. In addition, adding someone to title on primary residence could result in losing a some of the tax-free capital gain allowance. 3.
Have an up to date Will: First and foremost, please ensure you have a Will in place. Please review it every five years or after any major life event (marriage, divorce, birth of children, etc.). Appropriate use Joint Accounts: Placing assets/accounts in joint names with spouses or adult children can avoid probate, ease the transition and can help to ensure no bills lapse. Some examples include bank accounts, investments, vehicles, safety deposit boxes and household bills. There are some instances in which joint ownership may NOT make sense. For example, adding your adult child to the title of your primary residence could jeopardize the asset if s/he
Have named beneficiaries: Review your Retirement Saving Plans, Retirement Income Funds, Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA), insurance and pensions. Remember to also check work policies and investments if applicable. Spouses should be designated successor annuitant for TFSAs so they can retain the full tax-free status within their TFSA.
5.
Pre-Inheritance & Gifting: Since there are no taxes on gifts, consider gifting to loved ones as a pre-inheritance while you are alive, so you can see them enjoy it. Please note, there are special consideration and attribution rules when gifting to minors.
6.
Charitable: There are significant tax-breaks for the philanthropic. This can include strategies such as naming a charity as beneficiary on your RSP or RIF to eliminate the tax burden, gifting securities with large capital gains to charities, or making direct bequests in your Will.
7.
Insurance: Insurance can help replace income, pay taxes (including large capital gains on a recreational property or business) and can be particularly useful for blended or complex family situations. It typically is paid out quickly, tax-free and kept private as flows outside the Will. There are additional opportunities for incorporated businesses.
8.
Consider Trusts: Those with substantial assets can explore Trusts to help minimize tax, avoid probate, ensure proper distribution of assets, provide income and retain privacy.
Sometimes it is wise to name your Estate as beneficiary on your RSP or RIF so the executor can facilitate distribution and pay taxes. This typically makes sense if single, divorced or widowed. 4.
Take more income now: One of the consequences of losing a spouse is losing the ability to income split which can result in a higher tax bracket and loss of Old Age Security (OAS). Three common areas to consider are: I. Drawing RSP or RIFs down faster and/or earlier than age 71 - especially if you have larger balances. II. Harvesting capital gains each year from your nonregistered investment. III. Drawing additional wages or dividends from your company.
The above is not an exhaustive estate planning list. Because every family has different dynamics and values and estate planning is complex, we strongly recommend that you seek professional guidance to build your estate plan. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well. Written by Eric
Pro tip: if you have a large amount of credits or deductions in any year (business or investment loss, charitable donation, medical expenses, etc.) be sure to review the merits of taking extra income to offset.

Tk’emlúps chief disappointed that pope won’t visit reserve MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir said she is disappointed Pope Francis will not be in Tk’emlúps when he visits Canada in July, but she hasn’t given up hope the pontiff may reconsider. The pope is visiting Canada as part of a bid for reconciliation over the Catholic Church’s role in running residential schools. Pope Francis will spend a week in Canada between July 24 and July 30 in Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit, with the 85-year-old’s mobility issues, Canada’s vastness and the trip’s limited timeline noted as reasons for keeping the trip to those three cities, according to Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). Tk’emlúps was left off the list of stops, despite Casimir hand-delivering to the pope an invitation to visit her community during her meeting with the pontiff in March in Vatican City. “The pope is coming to Canada — that is truly historical in itself,” Casimir told reporters on Friday. “My hope is that he does have the opportunity to come to British Columbia and he takes that time. I haven’t ruled anything out as of yet and I’m going to hold on to a bit of hope, but he does have some limitations in his mobility.” Casimir said his mobility issues would be taken into consideration if the pope does end up visiting Tk’emlúps after all, noting the area is a hub for highways and the Kamloops Airport is not far from the reserve. If Pope Francis could not attend the band’s Powwow Arbour, organizers could look into appropriate, alternative venues in Kamloops to accommodate the pope and large crowds, Casimir said, noting it’s important he meet with all those impacted by the Kamloops Indian Residential School. “While we understand the vastness of Canada and the need to make the trip manageable for him, it is really unfortunate

he will not have the opportunity to come to the former Kamloops Indian Residential School — the largest residential school in the country run by the Roman Catholic Church,” Casimir said. In May 2021, the Tk’emlúps band announced that a ground-penetrating radar survey of grounds near the former school revealed signs of 200 probable graves. Excavation of the site to confirm there are human remains there has not yet been done. Following that announcement, other bands in Canada announced findings of probable graves at former residential school sites. “This I do see as a missed opportunity to visit Tk’emlúps — ground zero — and hear directly from survivors and intergenerational survivors and offer more words of apology, retribution and reconciliation,” Casimir said. Asked if the band plans to send a delegation to one of the cities the pope will visit, Casimir didn’t specify. She did, however, say she hopes that if the pope doesn’t visit B.C. in person, he will reach out to every First Nation with people impacted by the Kamloops Indian Residential School “to come and bear witness his journey to Alberta and that, somehow, some way, they would also be able to participate.” As for whether there may be a future opportunity to visit Tk’emlúps, Casimir said she would love that opportunity at any time. She said the decision not to take up the Tk’emlúps invitation or come to B.C. and visit communities in this province where signs of probable graves have been found has brought about shared sentiments of disappointment from herself and other community members. “He hasn’t acknowledged invitations to come and meet with us and walk on those meaningful steps moving forward,” Casimir said. “I hope he has the final say on what his visitation to Canada will be.”

FireSmart Conference 2022
Fire fuel management is key
NOTICE OF DISPOSITION
MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Pursuant to Sections 26(3) and 94 of the Community Charter, S.B.C. 2003, Ch. 26, the City of Kamloops (the “City”) is disposing of 218.7 m2 of surplus road adjacent to 4152 Davie Road, legally described as:
Wildland-urban fires are a structure-ignition problem, not a wildfire control problem, according to Dr. Jack Cohen, a retired U.S. Forest Service research scientist who spoke at last week’s FireSmart conference in Kamloops. He said burning ember accumulation on a home’s flammable materials can cause structure fires, noting local fire fuel conditions in a community (HIZ) cause structure ignitions, rather than intense heat from a wildfire’s flames, which are not sufficient for lighting wood on fire beyond a 30-metre (90-foot) distance. Cohen explained that typical patterns of wildland-urban fire destruction don’t support the notion of high-intensity wildfire flames sweeping through communities and destroying structures, showing examples from the U.S. and Northwest Territories in which homes, surrounded by still-intact tree canopies, were set alight hours after fires passed through communities. “Although initiated by wildfires, wildfires do not spread through communities like this,” he said. “Community fuels, the structures and vegetation, continue the fire spread within the community — the community burns without the wildfire.” He said this is happening because there is sufficient fuel and heat, in combination with ever-present oxygen, for combustion. “Fire is a combustion process that occurs at the fuel. Fire is not a thing like we visualize — dragons from hell coming down the mountain to lay our communities to waste that independently travels to place to place like tsunamis, floods and earthquakes,” Cohen said. “Fire requires a sustained sufficiency of fuel and heat. If it doesn’t have that, then the fire goes out and we end up with unconsumed tree canopies next to homes.”
Road to be closed shown on Bylaw Plan EPP117421, dedicated on Plan 11199, Section 17, Township 21, Range 17, W6M, KDYD (the “Property”). The City is transferring fee simple title of the Property to James MacJette Developments Ltd., to be consolidated with 4152 Davie Road, for consideration in the amount of $41,000.

He said wildfires don’t “overwhelm the landscape with superheated gases” and, due to a lack of fuels, intense wildfire flame fronts don’t spread into and through communities. Cohen showed a photo from one U.S. fire in which flames on one side of a road burned trees, but did not jump across the street to burn the other canopy as a crown fire. However, a house within those trees across the road from the blaze was consumed. The reason for the house fire, Cohen explained, was a blizzard of burning embers off the fire front, noting they are a “principal mechanism for ignition.” He demonstrated this by showing a video of an experiment he ran on a full-size house with debris at its base and in the gutters. The house was showered with only burning embers and a structure fire in debris on the home started within two minutes. “That’s how fast it can occur in real time,” Cohen said, adding embers from such a structure fire don’t have far to go to ignite other fuel sources in a community, making homes with flammable materials and adjacent vegetation significant sources of fire fuel. Wildfires can be a community threat, but they are also natural disturbances, Cohen said. He said science has established that fire-mitigating controlled burns have been significantly reduced since European contact in North America. During the last century, wildfire suppression has largely eliminated the practice, resulting in a paradox in which the elimination of controlled burns and high success rate of initial attacks on wildfires has only postponed fires until there are more severe conditions. “Basically, we’re pooping in our mess tent,” Cohen said. He said to manage wildfires, they must be accepted as inevitable, appropriate and essential ecological processes required for the restorations of landscapes.

FireSmart Conference 2022
Embers, not flames, led to destruction of Lytton MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Village of Lytton was not destroyed last summer by wildfire igniting each structure, but rather by an abundance of burning embers from rapidly spreading flames that continued to consume homes and other flammables in town well after the wildfire burned out at the community’s perimeters. Dr. Jack Cohen, a retired U.S. Forest Service research scientist, and Alan Westhaver, a consultant and researcher with ForestWise Environmental Consulting, presented those findings from their examination of the Lytton fire during the keynote speech at last week’s inaugural FireSmart conference in Kamloops. Cohen said local home ignition zone (HIZ) conditions in Lytton determined what structures caught fire, resulting in the destruction of the town. He said the disaster was not a unique phenomenon as it occurred amid the same general conditions that have led to other destructive wildland-urban events, with the presence of adjacent unconsumed vegetation around town. Wildfire conditions were extreme in Lytton, due to the
heat dome. The Lytton Creek fire started in a basin at the south end of town, between a railroad track and the village, Cohen said. As the fire spread out of the basin, it rapidly moved north along four independent pathways. The fire’s behaviour showed surface burning through grasses, forest debris and light shrubs that rapidly spread to and along the Lytton boundary. Cohen said there was not high intensity spreading of flames through tree canopies or significant canopy torching, but there was a profusion of burning embers. Those embers ignited spot fires across shortdistance vegetation gaps, carrying the fire through town. The blaze moved along the west end of town and north to Indian Reserve 18. It also independently spread quickly into structures on the south end of town and along the eastern side of town on both sides of the railway, below Highway 1. A fourth path spread up and across the highway into Indian Reserve 17, Cohen said. The fire was first reported at 4:38 p.m., on June 30 in the basin and spread across town in minutes. At 4:54 p.m., it was moving along the railroad tracks east of structures on Main and Second streets. By 5:09 p.m., it was was on

the west side of Highway 1, across from IR17. At 5:18 p.m., it was east of the highway at IR17 and, at 5:20 p.m., it was in the southern part of IR18. “What that means is that surface fire and burning embers initiated widely dispersed, multiple ignitions along the perimeters of the Village of Lytton, IR18 and IR17 in less than an hour,” Cohen said. At 6:00 p.m., less than 90 minutes from discovery, more than 20 structures, homes and businesses were simultaneously burning. Noting an example from IR17, Cohen said that at 6:00 p.m., the wildfire had burned out at that location, but five structures had been
set alight and were largely consumed in a half-hour. Cohen said this showed that after the wildfireinitiated ignitions, homes burned independently of the wildfire’s influence and structure ignitions were determined to be by local HIZ conditions. He said 60 fire trucks and up to 300 firefighters would have been required to save all 20 heavily involved buildings burning at once — which were not available in Lytton. “In your dreams. This is a very unrealistic response for most communities,” Cohen said, adding that it can be expected that a reasonable wildland-urban fire response will be overwhelmed during extreme conditions.
Cohen said if communities aren’t vulnerable to ignition sources, available firefighting structure protection can be successful in protecting most homes and averting disaster. He said it’s possible to prevent homes from burning during times of extreme wildfire danger by mitigating fire fuels in home ignition zones and creating fire-resistant residences and communities. Westhaver listed myriad recommendations for Lytton from their research, which are applicable to any community in a wildfireprone area. He said the Village of Lytton, its residents, businesses and authorities, should be taking action
to reduce the ignition vulnerability and exposure within 30 metres of all structures and infrastructure. Suggestions include starting an annual program managing grassy fuels in Lytton, establishing a wildland-urban steering committee, implementing a FireSmart program and staffing the fire department to support those initiatives. Bylaw and regulatory measures should also be brought in, such as amending regulations to support FireSmart activities, mandating fire mitigations and exploring means of compelling fuel-management compliance on private land. Other recommendations include enhancing prescribed burning at both the local and provincial level for fire fuel maintenance, periodic management of woody fuel on public, private and corporate lands and conducting risk assessment and mitigation at all critical infrastructure.

FireSmart Conference 2022
Social media hindered evacuation of Juniper MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Social media worked against the evacuation of Juniper Heights during the Canada Day fire last year, according to former Kamloops Fire Rescue chief Steve Robinson. But he feels the City of Kamloops’ addition of the Voyent Alert emergency alert app will lead to better communication in future emergencies. That was one of the messages Robinson had for a crowd that gathered at last week’s inaugural FireSmart conference at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. There was gridlock down Highland Road due to a mass exodus of people from Juniper Heights fleeing the wildfire that was sparked by lightning near homes, leading to criticism of the City of Kamloops over the evacuation and lack of exits out of the neighbourhood. Highland Road is the only permanent route in and out of Juniper. During the Canada Day fire, Robinson said KFR had asked that residents from a specific number of homes be evacuated from the area — about 15 — as part of a
tactical, staged evacuation process. However, that message soon got on social media, leading to a mass evacuation. “Once it gets on social media, the wheels of the bus fell off,” Robinson said. “We thought we were doing a good job of getting out to the radio and all those kinds of things, but we could not beat social media. You may not be able to beat social media and you may not be able to beat everybody deciding that they’re going to go whether you want them to or not, so you have to be ready for that.” Robinson told Kamloops This Week that KFR did not want the entire community to evacuate when the fire began, but it started to “snowball.” He said the Voyent Alert app is a much faster and efficient messaging tool. Voyent Alert sends alerts to people’s cellphones via push notifications, but only to those residents who are registered. Meanwhile, if a house fire was sparked elsewhere on Canada Day last year while KFR had its hands full battling the wildfire in east Kamloops, firefighters may not have been able to attend in time.
Robinson said that is why it is so important for residents to implement FireSmart tactics around their homes. The Canada Day fire led to “all hands on deck,” Robinson said. About 30 firefighters were on duty that night, but many more showed up on their own after seeing news of the blaze on social media as the dispatch centre was busy. The response meant KFR ceased attendance on medical calls and traffic incidents that night. “That night, if you were having a heart attack in Kamloops and you were expecting KFR to show up, it wasn’t going to happen,” Robinson said. “We phoned EMBC (Emergency Management BC) and said road rescue on all the highways we normally do, we’re out.” It took just 13 minutes for the July 1 fire to grow exponentially. KFR had expected a possible fire given the heat dome and tinder-dry conditions that led to the destruction of Lytton by fire the previous day. Firefighters were also tracking a massive lightning storm heading Kamloops’ way that night via smartphone apps. “We knew the severity of the lightning storm coming in,” Robinson said.

The project produced maps showing potential impacts from extreme heat, flooding, wildfire smoke vulnerability and extreme cold. The hope is that the maps will lead to more resilient communities, according to interim chief medical health officer Dr. Sue Pollock. “As we’re facing climate change, I think all information will help us, whether it’s through mitigating the effects of climate change or adapting, but really the idea is that we create communities that are resilient — and I think these maps will help us do that,” Pollock said. Three factors are considered for each map: the level of exposure, the sensitivity within the area and the area’s adaptive capacity. Census data on population demographics and socioeconomic status has been combined with climate-related data to produce maps showing general vulnerabilities in an area. “It gives us information on where the vul-
nerabilities might be, for wildfire smoke or high temperatures, for example,” Pollock said. Using heat in Kamloops as an example, three maps combine to show heat vulnerability in the city. A first map shows neighbourhoods within Kamloops with higher temperatures (days over 18 C), while the second shows sensitivity to heat by neighbourhood, factoring in the age and preexisting health conditions of those who live there. A third map shows the adaptive capacity by neighbourhood, considering the income and social status of those who live there, along with their physical environments (housing) and education and literacy. Pollock said she hopes the maps will be a useful tool for communities to prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change. She pointed to their potential use in emergency response plans or infrastructure planning. One specific example
mentioned by Interior Health is how the maps could be used to develop a heat alert response system. In 2018, the health authority partnered with the municipality of Ashcroft to develop such a system as a pilot project, with the goal of lessening the negative impacts of extreme heat through early warnings and a plan to deal with blistering temperatures. With weather likely to get even hotter in the coming decades, that pilot project spawned a toolkit in 2020. With the maps now released, communities have specific data to work with in implementing such a system. The maps were created following a similar project undertaken by Vancouver Coastal Health in partnership with the University of British Columbia, which produced similarly themed maps for the Lower Mainland in 2020. The maps can be found on the Interior Health website at interiorhealth. ca/about-ih/communitypartners/climate-resiliency-and-planning.

Complaints rise from Kamloops graveyard COUN. MIKE O’REILLY SAID SOME RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE HANGING OUT IN HILLSIDE CEMETERY MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops councillor said he has been receiving emails from residents complaining of homeless people congregating at Hillside Cemetery in Southgate. “And I’m wondering what protocols we have in place … to keep the cemetery clean and a place to respect and reflect,” O’Reilly said. The city’s community and
protective services director, Byron McCorkell, said the cemetery has had security issues for years, but thinks that more people are concerned now since the 50-bed Merit Place homeless shelter opened in the former Greyhound bus depot, which is across Notre Dame Drive from the cemetery. “But we’ve long dealt with folks using the cemetery for reasons other than to visit their loved ones,” he said. McCorkell said the city’s
community service officers (formerly bylaws) regularly patrol the cemetery and have notified the Canadian Mental Health Association that manages Merit Place to have its security personnel aware of people moving around the area. He also said there are security cameras in the cemetery to alert staff to any issues, adding parks staff also frequent the graveyard and notify community service officers of any issues with homeless to which to respond.

Sarai re-elected to SILGA board JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Coun. Bill Sarai has been re-elected to the board of the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA). SILGA works on behalf of dozens of municipalities, villages and districts in the Southern Interior region, representing them at the provincial and federal levels. It is Sarai’s third term on the board during his first council term. Sarai is standing for re-election in the Oct. 15 municipal election. Sarai said SILGA has focused of late on flooding, wildfires and recovery efforts. Cannabis legalization has also been at the forefront for the board in recent years. “Flooding and fires has been No. 1, front and centre,” Sarai told KTW. The SILGA conference was held in late April in Salmon Arm. Most of Kamloops city council attended, but councillors Kathy Sinclair and Denis Walsh were absent. Sarai said it has been three years

since the conference was held in person, due to the pandemic. He said attending the conference face-to-face was a valuable experience. “It’s making connections with other elected officials and communities, to see the good, the bad, the ugly that they’re going through,” he said. Resolutions presented at the conference included desire for weightier consequences and greater accountability from the provincial and federal governments for repeat offenders and for school districts to be required to keep some school buses in summer
months for evacuations, if required. Sarai said street issues are being seen not only in Kamloops, but in communities across British Columbia. Part of the problem is prolific offenders, he said, some of whom are camouflaged amongst the homeless, thereby degrading community compassion. “The prolific offenders are the worst ones and they, in turn, give everyone a bad name,” Sarai said. Since the SILGA conference, B.C. Attorney General David Eby has announced an investigation into the prolific offender problem in the province, with two experts reporting back to him by September. On whether the school district should be called upon during emergencies, Sarai said the issue was canvassed during a recent meeting between School District 73 and the city. He said the issue comes down to liability — if school buses and spaces are utilized for emergencies or shelters, who is held responsible if dangerous substances are left behind and a child accidentally comes across it? “Those are valid questions overall,” Sarai said.
Mayor likes sale of pulp mill to Kruger of Montreal JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said he is excited about Kruger Inc. of Montreal purchasing the local pulp mill. The Competition Bureau of Canada deemed the sale necessary after Paper Excellence bought Domtar last year. The bureau concluded that the merger would likely lessen competition for the purchase of wood fibre from the Thompson/ Okanagan region. Christian said the pulp mill, which is the city’s singlelargest taxpayer and employs about 350 people, faced ownership uncertainty after Paper Excellence was required to sell the mill. He said he was in contact with a “number of people” in the bidding for the mill. As Kruger emerges as the new owner, Christian said he
is confident about the mill’s long-term viability. “This is a Canadian company,” he said. “They’re one of the largest producers of paper towel and toilet paper, so there’s a market for some of the lower-end pulp but they also want to look at markets for the bigger, higherend pulp. Traditionally, Weyerhaeuser and Domtar had been selling a lot of their pulp overseas and so, hopefully, this will be a more madein-Canada solution.” Christian pointed to Kruger’s existing presence in B.C., with a tissue plant in New Westminster and the Zeballos Lake Hydro Plant on Vancouver Island. He said the sale is not only beneficial for Kamloops, but the region. “The chip supply will be maintained through the region, so that is very beneficial for the forestry industry all around this central Interior,”
he said. Christian said he is planning to meet with Kruger in the next month and discuss taxation, projects and the future. “One is the ring road that would allow mill access from the back end, rather than through downtown, and that’s an important one to me,” he said. The operation pays about $5 million per year to the city in property taxes. The mill opened on Nov. 30, 1965, under the Kamloops Pulp and Paper Company name. In 1971, Weyerhaeuser bought the mill and operated it under that banner until 2007, when Domtar purchased the operation. The Kamloops mill produces high-quality northern bleached softwood kraft pulp and unbleached softwood kraft for customers in North America and Asia.

Will BC Lions FanFest proceed? IF THE CFL PLAYERS’ STRIKE CONTINUES LATER THIS WEEK, THE MAY 21 EVENT AT HILLSIDE STADIUM WILL BE CANCELLED JESSICA WALLACE

With Canadian Football League players on strike, the fate of the popular BC Lions FanFest remains up in the air for now. City of Kamloops business
operations and events supervisor Sean Smith said the city is in a “holding pattern,” awaiting the outcome of negotiations between players and the league. Smith said the city is hoping the May 21 event at Hillside Stadium will proceed and is waiting until later this week to announce a decision on FanFest. The decision was expected after KTW’s Tuesday press deadline. “We are hoping to have a confirmation of FanFest by end of day [Wednesday]
or early Thursday,” Smith said. “If the strike is carrying on, it will not take place.” The event coincides with BC Lions training camp, which has also been impacted by the strike. FanFest provides an opportunity for the public
to meet players and watch a live scrimmage. Smith said there is no contingency plan in place and, at this point, the event would simply be cancelled if the strike were to continue later into the week. Smith said the event is popular
with Kamloops residents, noting it has not run in the past two years due to the pandemic. “We’d love to see it go on. There’s been a lot of work put into it,” he said. Lions fans can find updates about the event’s fate on the city’s website at kamloops.ca. The labour dispute is the latest in a series of bad news for the venerable league. The 2020 season was wiped out due to the pandemic, with the virus also impacting the 2021 season, which featured a truncated 14-game season.

RIVERS FC BEGINS INAUGURAL LEAGUE 1 BC SEASON
A21
Kamloops-based Rivers FC is one of seven teams in League1 BC, a semipro circuit that begins its inaugural season this weekend. Rivers FC has two teams in League1 BC — a men’s club coached by John Antuluv and a women’s squad coached by Jost Hausendorf. Rivers FC also has a team — Rivers FCII — in the Pacific Coast Soccer League, the province’s top amateur league. Rivers FC general manager is Keith Liddiard. The League1 BC teams will open the season this Sunday at Hillside Stadium against Altitude FC of North Vancouver. The women play at 2 p.m., followed by the men at 4:30 p.m. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
RIVERS FC READY TO MAKE A BIG SPLASH
SEMI-PRO SQUAD IN LEAGUE1 BC IS HIGHEST-CALIBRE SOCCER TEAM TO LACE UP BOOTS IN KAMLOOPS
T
he semi-pro Rivers FC soccer club of League1 BC begins its first season this Sunday at Hillside Stadium against Altitude FC of North Vancouver. The women’s team hits the field at 2 p.m., while the men will take to the field at 4:30 p.m. Club general manager is Keith Liddiard, while Jost Hausendorf is coaching the women’s side and John Antulov is in charge of the men. League1BC fills a gap between amateur leagues such as the Pacific Coast Soccer League (in which Rivers FCII will compete) and the top-tier national circuit, the professional Canadian Premier League. The league is pegged to be a springboard for Interior athletes aspiring to join the TRU ranks and WolfPack players aiming to ink
professional contracts. Rivers FC is expected to also become a major recruiting tool for the WolfPack, who can tout a path to the pro ranks, including the CPL and Major League Soccer, that runs through TRU. BC Soccer director of operations Gabriel Assis, who will oversee League1 BC operations, said talk of creating the semi-pro circuit began about six years ago and the product is set to debut at an ideal time, with the women’s and men’s national teams reaching new heights and men’s World Cup action coming to Canada in 2026. “With women’s soccer, there’s not really much after university,” said Camryn Curts, a midfielder for the WolfPack women’s soccer team. “Most people kind of gravitate and go to the States if they want to move up. It’s good to have that semi-pro team here to maybe
draw players in and see if they can play here after or during university in the summer.” Premiere Ligue de soccer du Quebec and League1 Ontario operate at the same semi-pro level as League1 BC. Rivers FC is run by a non-profit society and has a nine-person board of directors — president Nick Rinaldi, vice-president Paolo Munegatto, secretary Domenic Comita, treasurer Tom Calne, director Victor Lizzi, director Jason Fawcett, director Curtis Atkinson, director Matt Milovick and director Robyn Hollas. Dino Bernardo is the team consultant. “There are different groups that have put up sponsorship money to allow it to operate,” said Rinaldi, noting ticket sales and sponsorship dollars are key to the financial model. “It’s very community based.”
Along with Rivers FC, League 1 BC is composed of TSS Rovers of Burnaby, Vancouver Whitecaps, Altitude FC of North Vancouver, Unity FC of Langley, Varsity FC of UBC and the Victoria Highlanders FC. Players of any age and from any part of the province are eligible to play for Rivers FC, which will play a 12-game inaugural season — six home games and six road games from May 22 to July 24. All but one home game (July 9 at McArthur Island Field 2) are at Hillside Stadium. Tickets to games are between $7 and $40 and can be purchased online at riversfc.com. Rivers FC defender Jan Glasmacher is the recipient of the 2022 Kamloops Sports Council’s University Male Athlete of the Year Award and was named Thompson Rivers University Male Athlete of the Year.

Introducing Rivers FC II
In addition to the League1 BC semipro club, Rivers FC is fielding a team in the province’s top amateur league. Rivers FC II will compete in the venerable Pacific Coast Soccer League, tangling with the circuit’s other nine clubs: Khalsa Sporting Club, Mid-Isle Mariners, Okanagan FC, Penticton Soccer Club, Surrey United Soccer Club, Tigers FC, Victoria Highlanders, Victoria United and Westcastle International.

Connecting with TOFC Rivers Football Club today has established a formal working relationship with the ThompsonOkanagan Football Club (TOFC), the organization that is the Interior representative in the BC Soccer Premier League, the province’s top youth league. The BC Soccer Premier League was established by the provincial governing body in 2011. Its overall objective is to support the development and identification of players within a standards-based environment for under-13 through under-18 male and female age groups.

Piano man, Blazers induce Giant slumber KAMLOOPS VANQUISHES VANCOUVER, REACHES CONFERENCE FINAL FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2013

F
raser Minten tickles the ivories, a Yaletown talisman and piano man extraordinaire. The NHL Draft prospect forward was Beethoven on Sunday at Langley Events Centre, caressing the first key in a Moonlight Sonata that put the Vancouver Giants to sleep. His short-handed marker at 6:06 of the first period — a virtuoso backhand effort — set the tone for the Kamloops Blazers, who performed at their vivace best in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal, lively, quick and with up-beat tempo in a series-clinching 6-0 rout. “I don’t know if there is anything directly that relates,” said Minten, reaching to find similarities between puck and piano. “But I think it’s good for your mental development to have some variety, and maybe it will unlock

some neurological pathways that help out on the ice.” The pathway to the Western Hockey League final will run through the Tournament Capital, with the Blazers snaring home-ice advantage for their first Western Conference championship series since 2013. Kamloops earned a 4-2 series
victory in the best-of-seven conference semifinal to gain valuable rest days ahead of Round 3, which is scheduled to begin on Friday at Sandman Centre. The Winterhawks and Thunderbirds squared off in door-die Game 7 on Tuesday after KTW’s press deadline in the other conference semifinal series.

“It was probably our best game of the playoffs so far,” said Blazers’ head coach Shaun Clouston, whose club finished 46 points ahead of the Giants in final regular-season standings. “I just thought it was a complete team game.” Boston Bruins’ draft pick Fabian Lysell and his never-say-die club knew a fast start was imperative on Sunday, so they must have been salivating when awarded the game’s first power play while some fans were still finding their seats. “We’ve been trying to play aggressive on the penalty kill, especially on Lysell,” said Minten, who is 28th among North American skaters in final NHL Central Scouting rankings. “He likes to make plays, but take away his time and space and you can get the puck off him, sometimes. I read that they were dropping it, picked it off and broke away. The book was high glove, so I went to my backhand and put it up there.” The injury plagued Giants,
the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, vanquished the alsoinjury-riddled Everett Silvertips in Round 1, an upset that ranks among the greatest in league history. Vancouver fought back from a 2-1 third-period deficit to hometown Kamloops last Friday in Game 5, the 5-2 victory buoying aspirations for another improbable scuttling. “Any time you give up a shorthanded goal, it’s a dagger,” Giants’ head coach Michael Dyck said. “We continued to fight. I just think we ran out of gas.” Luke Toporowski’s clap-bomb special at 10:27 of the opening frame seemed to pierce the Vancouver balloon. “It was a real gritty, gutsy effort,” Dyck said. “Even for a guy like Jesper Vikman, who was really, really sick for the last two games, battling the flu, to Zack Ostapchuk and Ty Thorpe, who were playing through injuries.” See ENGLOT, A27

Kolby Lukinchuk pitched a gem for the TRU WolfPack on Saturday at Norbrock Stadium, his 10-strikeout, complete-game performance coming in a 5-0 victory over the Fraser Valley Cascades of Abbotsford on the final day of the Canadian College Baseball Conference campaign. TRU finished second-last in the eightteam league and enters the league championship tournament this weekend in Lethbridge as a major underdog. The WolfPack will aim to ride the momentum of two wins on Sunday, having knocked off Fraser Valley 7-4 in Game 1 of the doubleheader. Matt Olsen belted a two-run homerun for the Pack in support of hurler Zac Robinson, who pitched eight solid innings before Hudson Scheres picked up his third save of the season. The league-leading Okanagan College Coyotes of Kelowna swept TRU in a doubleheader on Friday, winning 10-7 and 18-0 at Norbrock Stadium. Final regular-season standings: Okanagan College (25-5), Prairie Baseball Academy (21-11) of Lethbridge, University of Calgary (17-15), Vancouver Island University (14-13) of Nanaimo, Fraser Valley (11-19), TRU (10-18) and Victoria Collegiate (8-17).

Englot addition fruitful From A25
Vegas Golden Knights’ prospect Vikman, who stopped 30 shots in a losing effort, was twice solved in the second period — by Daylan Kuefler at 12:03 and Dallas Stars’ prospect Logan Stankoven, a power-play marker at 13:07. “After we didn’t close it out in Game 5, we were pretty disappointed,” said Blazers’ goaltender Dylan Garand, the New York Rangers’ prospect who recorded a 24-save shutout. “We really sat down as a team, with the coaching staff, and watched video, talked with our mental performance guy [Bob Wilkie] and figured out what works for us and let go of the outcome and focused on the process. We did exactly

that tonight. It’s great to be moving on.” Vancouver was 0-for-3 on the power play, while Kamloops finished 2-for-6, with Toporowski bagging his club’s second man-advantage goal at 1:05 of the third period. With the game and series — which became increasingly physical with every contest, but never reached a boiling point — all but over, the time to settle grievances arrived. “Me and [Damian] Palmieri, we’ve been kind of bickering back and
forth,” said Drew Englot, the Candiac, Sask., product who is proving to be an astute trade-deadline acquisition. “We always wanted to fight. If I was in his shoes, I’d probably want to get a fight before the season is done. I was like, ‘OK, well, I’ll give it to you here in this last game.’” Mitts were shed, the second bout of the evening — Logan Bairos and Kyle Bochek were on the undercard — proving to be the main event. “It was good,” said Englot, who has three goals, six points and 23 penalty minutes in 10 playoff games. “I thought it was even. He held his ground. I got a couple shots in. He got a couple, too. It’s fun to be part of a series like that. That’s what junior
hockey is all about.” Minnesota Wild prospect Caedan Bankier hit the sonata’s final note, his 6-0 marker at 12:30 of the third stanza scored amidst a symphony of silence at the LEC. “It was incredibly impressive,” Clouston said of the Giants’ resolve. “They got in on the last day. They knocked off the top team on our side and shocked everybody and did everything they could to keep it going. They didn’t just say, ‘OK, we got our win and that’s good enough.’ They wanted to beat us.” The Blazers traversed the
Coquihalla in daylight and reached Kamloops at dusk, a half step closer to taking the ultimate bow. Night has fallen on Vancouver’s season, its slumber induced by a piano man’s gamewinner. “We didn’t want to have to play a Game 7,” Minten said. “Anything can happen in those games. We were ready to put it away tonight.” OUT EAST The Winnipeg Ice and Edmonton Oil Kings will lock horns in the Eastern Conference final. Game 1 is slated for Friday in Winnipeg.

ANGOVE PRIMED FOR SPLENDID SWIMMING SUMMER MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Sienna Angove played the french horn in Grade 7 at Aberdeen elementary. “My lungs were good, so I could play notes for longer,” Angove said. Brad Dalke, whose Kamloops Classics’ swimming program helped cultivate those organs, is trumpeting Angove’s exploits in the pool. “Long term, she’s working to try to get on the national team,” said Dalke, head coach of the Classics. “Olympics, all of that kind of stuff, is something she’s very interested in.” Stunning results last month at the Western Canadian Swimming Championships in Edmonton, along with inclusion to provincial teams this summer, have the Grade 10 Sa-Hali secondary student amped for the future. Angove, swimming in the 13to 15-year-old girls’ division, won gold in the 50-metre freestyle, silver in the 200m individual medley, 400m individual medley
SIENNA ANGOVE and 200m backstroke and bronze in the 100m freestyle and 400m freestyle. She set club records in the 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley and placed fourth in the 200m freestyle and 100m backstroke. “Things have been going really well lately,” said Angove, who participated this month in the Swim BC Prospects Camp in Richmond. “It definitely helps my confidence. It shows the work in the pool I’m putting in is working.” Angove, whose focus is on
distance freestyle swimming, will compete for B.C. in her first international event this summer, the Pan-provincial Open Water Camp, which gets underway on May 26 in Mallorca, Spain. “She had to be top two in her age group in B.C. to make it,” Dalke said, noting Angove has been invited to train this month at the Swimming Canada High Performance Centre in Vancouver. “We’ve lost two years of swimming. It seems like she’s come onto the scene pretty quickly, but she’s been busting her butt since a pretty young age. It seems sudden, but it’s not, for us.” The pandemic has stunted growth of swimmers across the world. “It’s difficult for the kids, in terms of their development,” Dalke said. “We’re trying to catch her up quickly. Every kid in Canada and the world is basically in the same boat. It’s all relative.” Following in the footsteps of some of her heroes, Angove will compete in St. Catharines, Ont., at the Canada Summer Games, which are scheduled to run
from Aug. 6 to Aug. 21 across the Niagara region of the province. “You have to remember, athletes like Julia Wilkinson, Kylie Masse, Penny Oleksiak, Maggie Mac Neil — they’ve all gone to the Summer Games,” Dalke said. “It’s kind of like the kickoff to international, higher-level swimming.” Angove, who is in the pool about 20 hours per week and tacks on about three hours of dryland training, is looking forward to the multi-sport-event vibe. “I’m super excited for that, just to go travel with all of my friends, compete against other provinces and stay in the athletes’ village,” Angove said. “It just makes me more motivated to train and get better.” Post-secondary institutions in both the U.S. and Canada are showing interest in acquiring Angove’s services. She recently took her SAT, the standardized test widely used for admissions in the U.S. She seems likely to have fared well, considering her marks at Sa-Hali. “I have a 98 per cent aver-
age,” Angove said with a sheepish chuckle, noting she is leaning toward swimming and studying down south, but is not ruling out schools such as UBC and the University of Toronto. She is not one to toot her own horn, but Angove’s swimming goals include cracking the national team, representing Canada at the Olympics and competing in the International Swimming League ranks. The leader of the Classics’ brass has no problem sounding off. “To be able to make that [Canada Games] team, it’s pretty significant,” Dalke said. “It’s a big deal. She’s shown promise all the way along. She’s a hard-working kid.” • Diego Paz, a graduate of the Classics’ swimming program who swims for the Alberta Golden Bears, has qualified to compete for the national team in the World Junior Open Water Swimming Championships. The event will take place in September in Beau Vallon, Seychelles.

Fly Me He understands every mode of force He knows what’s true of the elements He is subtle but genuine at lift off and landing He is an airplane ride blowing through the clouds He is an airplane window that reveals a whole dimension He is a propeller to delve farther deep into the universe like fractals He is an airplane grounded in the sky mighty with fuel He is an airplane engine efficient, sustaining and swift He is a wing of a plane that stabilizes my lift He has an open storage to keep the baggage balanced on flight He has a trap door that releases the body of pain He has a water tank to keep the peace Here is a safe place to crash A ride in the sky at night reveals a bright shiny movement You, my plane, are visible to the naked eye in each spectrum

Am I your passenger? Am I your wingman? Am I your baggage? Am I your well oiled engine? Am I your wing? Am I your lift in the air? Am I your propeller that thrusts you to a new dimension? I am all that you shape me to be You have a windshield view exposing the picture beyond Only you fit the pilot’s seat As your hands and feet heart and eyes are trained to work the plane You know every part and how to fix it You are navigating by the spirit You belong to a solid tender heart and so accepted as firm to soar You’re worth the shiniest mint coins and bills in circulation and so loved Your competence as an airplane secures my place For more experiences with you Will you invite me onboard?

Remembrance is a gold chain Death tries to break, but all in vain; To have, to love, and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart. The years may wipe out many things. But this they wipe out never. The memories of those happy days, when we were all together.
We love and miss you forever in our hearts The MacLaurin Family

In Loving Memory Russell Douglas Toombs April 24, 1953 - October 9, 2021
Russ passed away on October 9, 2021 in Kelowna General Hospital after suffering a massive stroke at his home in Sorrento, BC a few days earlier. He is survived by his wife Athena; son Aaron (Kristen), their children Raina, Eden and Callum; his daughter Alicyn, (Carlo) and their children Avery and Carmen. He is also survived by his first wife Audrey, the mother of his children. He has three brothers; Phil (Dot), Ray (Linda) and Larry (Deborah) and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Russ was born in Kamloops to Doug and Alice Toombs. He lived most of his life in Kamloops but spent a few years on the prairies before returning to Kamloops where family, the weather, fishing, hunting and living at the lake were all very important to him. As a final gesture and a reflection of his kindness and compassion, Russ donated a number of his organs to those in need. Because of his generosity, there are several people who will live longer and healthier lives. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be something that Russ would appreciate.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Elaine Doris Rodzinski
November 24, 1930 - May 3, 2022
November 24, 1949 - May 5, 2022
Surrounded by her loving family, Lucy Hicks passed away peacefully on May 3, 2022. She is predeceased by her husband, Jack, of 61 years. She is survived by four daughters, Susan (Allan), Judy (Garry), Donna (Ken), and Jackie (Ron), eight grand-children and five “greats.” Above all, Lucy loved her family. She treasured the many, many memories that were made together through the years. Lucy always felt that her family was what she was most proud of in her life. Lucy was born in Fenn, Alberta on November 24, 1930. She was raised on the farm and she rode her horse to and from school daily. When she was 13 years old, her family moved to the family farm in Mirror, Alberta. At the age of 16, Lucy started dating the love of her life – Jack Hicks. Their fate was sealed. After graduating from high school, Lucy attended Business College in Stettler, Alberta. Upon completion of her program, she moved to Calgary and she started working for the brokerage firm Locke, Gray and Company. Lucy and Jack were married on June 16, 1951. They welcomed four daughters into their family while in Calgary. In 1972, Lucy and Jack moved to Kamloops. It was at this time that Lucy took up the game of golf seriously. She looked forward to the many golf trips that she took with Jack and with good friends. She sat on the executive of the golf course and was Club Captain. In her golf career, Lucy had three holes-in-one of which she was very proud. Lucy also loved the game of Bridge. As young married couples, Lucy and Jack spent many hours playing this game with good friends. Once in Kamloops, Lucy was a part of several Ladies’ Bridge groups as well as playing mixed Bridge. Lucy enjoyed travelling. Often, Lucy and Jack were joined by both family and friends on their trips. Lucy particularly loved exploring Europe with Jack. She travelled to Mexico, Hawaii, Banff and Montreal. Lucy and Jack enjoyed many, many different cruises together and they frequented several all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Lucy also loved sharing special holidays with her family. She went to Disneyland with each of her grandchildren and in the summer, all of Lucy’s family would get together for a, “week at the lake.” To sum Lucy up, she was social, positive and grateful. She vowed to never lose her sense of humour and true to her word, she did not. Those who knew her well, knew that you could not spend time with Lucy without a lot of laughter. Her infectious laugh was one of her trademarks and her down to earth approach to life served her well throughout the years. She had a love of adventure and a wonderful zest for life. We would like to thank Dr. Cribb for the excellent care that she took of Lucy through many years. Also, thank you to the staff at both Kamloops Seniors Village and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for the compassion, kindness and caring that they gave to Lucy. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops.
Elaine was born in Newmarket, Ontario, the third of six children. She married Ronald Paul Rodzinski in 1971 and had two children, Leitha Charlene and Ryan Wesley. Elaine and Ron divorced when the children were small and Elaine moved the family to Vancouver and went back to school to complete her Grade 12 and then become a Registered Nurse (Langara College). Upon graduation, the family moved to Kamloops and Elaine worked at the Royal Inland Hospital and then at the Ponderosa Lodge. Elaine’s greatest love was her children and she would unapologetically tell everyone she met about them. Often complete strangers, upon meeting Elaine’s kids for the first time, would ask for the latest updates on the kids’ lives and share Elaine’s opinions on these matters, much to the children’s horror. She also loved animals and the children were lucky to grow up learning to care for and love gerbils, birds, cats and dogs over the years. Elaine was a hard worker and prided herself on being a strong “worker woman”. She could drywall a basement, paint a house, build a fence, bake a pie and crochet anything you could need. She won ribbons for her crotchet work in later years. Although she was hard of hearing, Elaine loved music (Rod Steward, Boney M, Linda Ronstadt and Gloria Gaynor come to mind) and took every opportunity to sing and “boogie”. Naturally athletic, Elaine enjoyed swimming, cycling and playing tennis and softball. She was incredibly generous and spoiled her children and grandchildren, often surprising them with gifts just because she saw things that reminded her of them. Elaine was a voracious reader and often said that reading was like breathing for her. Many nights you could find her in bed, dog snuggled up to her, with a cup of tea and a book reading into the wee hours. She instilled this love of reading in her kids and grandkids. In 2008, Elaine was reunited with her first-born son Leighton Trent Kathler whom, although she had not raised as a child, she had loved all her life, and his children Nathan and Mitchel. The family grew and Elaine had another child and more grandchildren to be proud of. Elaine passed away from cancer at the age of 73, six weeks after being diagnosed. She was cheery and sweet in her final days and said it was her faith that helped her to be so happy. Her children cared for her at home until she passed. She is survived by her children Leighton, Leitha and Ryan (Adriana) and grandchildren Nathan, Marcus, Melana and Mitchel. The family would like to sincerely thank the nurses, care aids, doctors, and paramedics that were so supportive all through Elaine’s transition from this world. A Celebration of Life will be held in the coming months. If you would like to make a donation in Elaine’s honour, the family suggests the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation: https://www.rihfoundation.ca/donate/
Details for Lucy’s Celebration of Life is yet to be determined and will be posted on this website.

Douglas "Dean" Perrault March 27, 1938 - April 9, 2022
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beautiful soul. Dean was gently cradled out of life with his loved ones by his side, into the hands of his Saviour. He was born in Delburne, AB one of 12 children. He lived in AB until he met the love of his life Sylvia in 1965. They moved to the Yukon, then Nipawin, SK to Logan Lake, BC in 1980. After 23 years working for Highland Valley Copper (Lornex) he retired in 2003. Most recently Dean and Syl have been living in Abbotsford, BC. Through the years, Dean provided immense joy to everyone who had the honour of knowing him. He was a man that wore many hats in his lifetime. He was a farmer, cowboy, HD mechanic, coach, athlete, card shark, curler, ball player, umpire, Little Britches rodeo announcer, world traveller, mentor and an inspiration to many. Sadly, he was a lifelong Calgary Flames fan as well. Dean/Dad was 84 at the time of his passing and will be lovingly missed by his wife of 52 years Sylvia; his children; Laurie (Bill); Keith (Brenda); Scott, Cheryl, Danielle; Jimmy; Samantha; Doug (Marina); and many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and greatnephews.

Paul P. Reibin 1932 - 2022
It is with unmeasurable pride and love that we say good-bye to Paul P. Reibin. On the morning of May 12, 2022, Paul passed away peacefully at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops, B.C. Paul lived 89 glorious years that started in Veregin, Saskatchewan, on December 6, 1932. Predeceased by his Parents Paul and Moly Reibin and his 1st love and wife Dorothy Reibin. Paul, survived by his 3 boys who were the inner bullseye of his life. Mike, honorable #1 son John, honorable #2 son and David, the honorable #3 son, and their beautiful wives Dianne, Crystal and Sue. Dad was so proud of his 3 younger siblings, brother Donald Living in Osgoode, sisters Judy and Deborah, both living in the lower mainland. He leaves his 2nd love, and life partner, Patricia Roberts and her family with lots of love and great memories. Dad and Pat were best friends they shared 33 years loving the same pastimes, travelling, shooting, family, and friends! Dad deeply loved and always asked over his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and furry grand-dogs. He never forgot his family and roots, every Sunday he routinely called his cousins, 2nd cousins, brothers, sisters, and family friends, before calling his boys to share the family news. He would then get an update from us boys and send his love to all... Dad was raised in the Doukhobor community in Veregin, SK, and went to the Tolstoi School (SD 4730) - of course he walked up hill both ways. In 1939 brother Don was born, 4 years later the family made the arduous journey to Queensborough, BC. Once settled, and with a few hard times behind them, Paul stepped up huge to help run the family dry cleaning shop. Judy and Debbie were born in 50’s, and Donald became a successful military man. Paul started his career with Canada Customs at Blaine, and then the Peace Arch Border. In 1954 Paul married his 1st love Dorothy Dunham and stared their life together. Mike was born in 1958, and John in 1961 they lived White Rock Crescent Beach community. The humid climate was not good for Dorthey’s or John’s health. So off to the big city of Kamloops in 1962, where David was born in 1964. In late 65 Mom and Dad bought the Pleasant Street forever home. Dad was already an avid hunter outdoorsman and accomplished shooter. He was the President of the Kamloops Fish and Wildlife for many years, a leader the Thompson District Search and Rescue, coach and mentor at many target ranges, board member at the DCRA & BCRA. Most important to dad was his success as a competitive F class marksman with many championships all over the world as part of the Canadian “F” Class Rifle Team. He shot in Bisley England, Wales, Switzerland, all over the USA, Ireland and all over Canada. His pride and joy was both raising his beautiful Malamute show dogs & Range Sports Unlimited, his target rifle business he ran for many years to support the sport he loved. We want to thank all the beautiful people that where here to support our family (John)! Brian, Joyce ,Emily & Jenna Roberts. Fred Solheim, Mark Anderson, Connie Jamson, Erin Madsen, Coleen Tobin auntie Judy and so many more that were here to help with Dad’s care. A very special thank you to long time neighbour and family friend Maria Coelho! We wish to invite all who knew Paul Reibin to celebrate his life on May 21, 2022, starting at 1:00PM at Dad’s favourite restaurant, Frick & Frack 577 Victoria St., Kamloops BC. Bring your pictures, stories, memories and lies of Paul to share with all. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

John Arvid "Jack" Hollstedt June 4, 1937 - May 3, 2022
John Arvid "Jack" Hollstedt passed away peacefully on May 3, 2022 at RIH where he received excellent care during a brief bout with vascular dementia. The Hollstedt family emigrated from Northern Sweden to Canada in the 1920s and settled in Ontario where Jack was born in the small gold mining town of Geraldton and in 1949 the family moved to Vancouver. He was a very proud Swede and loved to sing the National Anthem of Sweden in Swedish. Along with the Swedish anthem he knew a few cuss words and other Swedish songs. It was at Gladstone high school in Vancouver in choir and music classes that he met, and in 1958 married, his lifelong friend and partner Lois. Jack and Lois began to build their lives in Kamloops in 1964 when he came to work at the Kamloops Daily Sentinel newspaper in the advertising department. He later went to work with Texaco Canada and Imperial Oil as the sales area representative and regional sales manager. Following retirement, he worked with the Federal Business Development Bank. A true Kamloops booster, Jack was heavily involved in shaping the Kamloops community from 1964 though 2021. He was a lifetime member of the Kamloops Kinsmen and K-40 clubs, Kamloops Legion and ANAVets, and a member and past president of the Kamloops Gyro club. He served on the first executive and organizing committee of the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament (KIBIHT) and later as president. Through that work he was thrilled to meet the King of Sweden when he travelled to Europe to recruit bantam hockey teams to play in the Kamloops tournament. Jack also served on the Executive and organizing committee of the first BC Winter Games held in Kamloops in 1978 and attended the 40th Winter Games again in Kamloops in 2018. Many would know Jack for his time ensuring events in Kamloops had the sponsorship element captured. From 1995 to 2008 he worked on no less than 10 Season of Champions Events of Curling Canada. Our community would not have the successes of the 1996 Brier, 1998 World Championships and numerous Canada Cups without Jack’s tremendous support and encouragement. He also lent his talents to both Kelowna and Prince George for other successful Events. Subsequent to this was his involvement with the 2010 World Masters, 2011 Western Canada Summer Games and the 2013 Kamloops Baseball Indoor Training facility fundraising objectives. Actually, he never stopped as he was a part of several Kamloops International Baseball Tournaments in his later years. He was part of the original group that brought the Kamloops Blazers to town and starting in the 70's was a member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club, and the Kamloops Curling Club. He enjoyed playing hockey, mixed slow pitch, golf, curling, swimming, and many seasons skiing at Tod Mountain/Sun Peaks. Jack was an avid outdoorsman and loved hunting and fishing. Fly fishing was a favourite pastime. Rossmore, Janis, Little Lac Le Jeune were among his favourite locations along with just hanging out at the cabin at Walloper Lake. Jack was proud of being the one to introduce the "Idaho Nymph" fly to the area and everyone he mentored into the sport understood the value of that fly. His friends were many. Everyone remembers his ability to tell stories, joke and laugh, a gift he passed on to his two children. The lifelong friends he made in the Kinsmen organization enriched his whole life and Norm Daley and family were a valued support over many years. Jack was predeceased by his parents, older brother and two sisters and his 16year-old loyal four-legged companion Boo. Celebrating his legacy are his children John (Terry), and Nancy (Terry); four grandchildren John (Caitlin), Kirsten (Brock), Michael, and Jacqueline; and six great-grandchildren, who knew that "Grampa Jack" was a fixture at Halloween, and always dressed for the occasion. And Lois, his lifelong friend and partner, of whom he was so very proud; the many nephews and nieces in his extended family and his wonderful friends. He treasured them all. Jack was grateful for a wonderful life, full of opportunity, friends, service and family. He requested that you remember the laughter, raise a glass of your favourite drink, and enjoy a chuckle. In lieu of a service or flowers please make a donation to KidSport Kamloops or the Kinsmen Foundation of BC.

Doreen Frances Beer (nee Angel) February 26, 1933 - May 5, 2022
Doreen passed away peacefully surrounded by family members at the age of 89 years. She is survived by her children Sandy (Joel) Madden of Kamloops, BC; Glenn (Jackie) Beer of Thunder Bay, ON, Marv (Trena) Beer of Salmon Arm, BC and Kim (Fraser) Cameron of Coquitlam, BC; grandchildren Robin, Kyle, Laura, Jason, Cory, Derek, Travis, Riley and Connor and great-grandchildren, Whitney, Chelsea, and Emily. Doreen is also survived by her younger sister Freda of Modesto, CA; her sister-in-law Bernice and niece Colleen of Winnipeg, MB, as well as many relatives throughout Canada, the US, and England. She is predeceased by her son Barry, her parents Johann and Daisy Angel, and her siblings Johnny and Catherine. Born in Winnipeg, Doreen grew up by her father’s side and worked along side him in his family owned service station and garage on St. Anne’s Rd. In school, she loved math, and once she finished high school, she took a comptometer course (accounting) and worked for a number of oil and grain companies based out of Winnipeg. She married at 24, had 5 children over the next 15 years, and lived in Winnipeg and Montreal. In 1988, she moved to Blind Bay, BC. She moved to Kamloops in 1994, where she started over and built a wonderful new life for the next 28 years. She immediately took a very active roll in her church, Hills of Peace Lutheran, participating in many aspects of the church including creation of the Mitten Tree over 20 years ago, which collected hats, mitts, and scarves for children in need. She was also very involved with gardening groups including the Kamloops Garden Club, and Friends of the Garden. To occupy her time further, she volunteered with her strata. Doreen always kept herself busy, and did so with a bright smile and a generous heart. Doreen loved to travel! She travelled to Australia, New Zealand and England, where she met many members of her mother’s family. She has also travelled all across Canada, and to many destinations in the US. Very late in life, Doreen joined a new “family”. It was the family at Chartwell Ridgepointe retirement home in Kamloops. She quickly immersed herself with the residents and in the activities there. She loved her time there, and was loved for being part of that community. Thank you to the staff and residents for welcoming mom into your home. Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 11, 2022 at 2:00 pm at Hills of Peace Lutheran Church in Kamloops. For information about live streaming, please contact firstbeers@hotmail.com.

Arline "Rae" Agassiz
August 17, 1938 - April 25, 2022 It is with profound sadness the family announces the recent passing of our mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Rae Agassiz, on April 25th, 2022. In Mom’s final years, Rae had been a full care resident at Kamloops Seniors Village where she bravely fought the challenges of Alzheimer’s that had robbed our parents’ ability to live their final years together at home. Rae was predeceased by her husband, John Agassiz, on Nov. 2, 2021 not long after John was reunited with Mom at Kamloops Seniors Village. Although short, it was the family’s great joy to be able to reunite our parents after 62 years of marriage and over 50 years of shared life together at the same family home they cherished on Dufferin Terrace. Rae is survived by her two sons Jay (Angel), and Rob (Carolyn), her grandchildren (whom she was all so proud of) Whitney, Vanessa, Julia, Hailey, Graham and Amanda, as well as eight great grandchildren. Rae was an only child, born Arline “Rae” McMorran in Kamloops on August 17th, 1938 during a time when her parents were managing and ranching at the Gang Ranch west of Clinton. Our mother’s fascination and connection to the history of the legendary Gang Ranch in BC stayed with her throughout her life. Her family relocated to Kamloops, and Rae went to school at Kam High before being one of the first graduates of the Kamloops Nursing School located behind RIH at that time. Rae met John Agassiz (the one love of her life) in Kamloops in 1958 while mom was finishing Nursing School and John was working towards a career on the Kamloops Fire Department. They were married in Kamloops in October of 1959 which was followed later by the births of their two sons. They moved their young family to Dufferin Terrace in 1968, a home they kept for the rest of their lives together. Rae was a talented musician from a very young age and she loved to play piano in all types of genres. At 16 years of age, Rae was part of the legendary Kamloops High School Band, the only school band in North America invited to the 1954 World Music Festival in Kerkrade, Holland. Saxophone in hand, Rae, along with her school group, crossed Canada by rail and then crossed the Atlantic Ocean by ship on their way to winning not just one, but two World Championships in Europe! This was major news in Kamloops, and despite only being 16 at the time, this was a once in a lifetime adventure that Rae reminisced about her entire life. Rae was not only talented; she was incredibly smart and accomplished at everything that took her interest. In her early years Mom was a proud, registered nurse working on various floors of RIH. She eventually retired to focus her time on caring for her family. She was a long-time member of both the Royal Inland Hospital and Ponderosa Lodge Woman’s Auxiliaries. Rae was an artist and craft extraordinaire, an amazing cook and baker, and could knit or needlepoint like no other. In retirement John would cut out multiple wood craft patterns that Rae had designed and hand painted, many purchased, and proudly displayed by families for every special season of the calendar year. Rae was an accomplished skier in her younger years and the family enjoyed many years of season memberships at Kamloops area ski hills. Before dementia struggles, Rae, (with John) enjoyed their friendships with fellow Retired KFR Firefighters and their wives, their Dufferin Terrace neighbours, as well as many other lifelong friends they spent time with as a couple over their lifelong marriage. Late in life Rae and John had both become “super fans” of the Kamloops Blazers Hockey Club. They enjoyed many years as season ticket holders as well as were past members of the Blazers Booster Club volunteering and taking part in many road trips following the team. Pre-dementia, Rae had aged pretty well. Free of any grey hair, Mom looked younger than her years. She loved colour, was a snazzy dresser, and took pride in her appearance. Rae had a strong will and was outspoken to a fault, but everyone loved and celebrated her for it. Rae loved her kids and was a supportive mother. She loved her daughter in laws, and was the absolute best Grandma. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and following all of their busy lives. We will all miss you Mom. The family finds peace knowing you are reunited again with Dad. (Gpa). We can all see you in your chairs, holding hands, having a glass of wine, reminiscing about the incredible life you had together, while reminding us all just how lucky you were to have each other. A Celebration of Life for Rae (and John) may be announced in the future. However condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Ted Belyk
Born 1921 - Died 2022 Ted Belyk was born on a farm 13 miles north of Borden, Saskatchewan on November 21, 1921. It was a time when most farms were still quiet since powered machinery were just coming into common use On Friday May 6, 2022 Ted Belyk of Kamloops passed away at the age of 100. Dad is predeceased by the love of his life, our mom, Marion (Pat) Belyk. They met in 1944 while both were in the military, stationed at Patricia Bay, BC.

He is also survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and one great, great-grandson. Ted worked as a carpenter on many projects around the Kamloops area, Hell’s Gate fish ladders and Mica dam, to name a few. His excellent skills were displayed as he build multiple lovely family homes, that we as a family, enjoyed while growing up. Ted also enjoyed many decades of trailer camping as well as being an avid fly fisherman on our local lakes. He was a regular crib card player and loved winning, which he did most of the time. He still won games in the last few weeks of his life, I guess that is what happens when you have been playing the game for some 80+ years. One of Dad’s goals was to live to be 100 years old. Well Dad, you did it! Congratulations. You are greatly missed by your family and friends. Rest in peace

Kamloops Food Bank opens distribution centre SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops Food Bank is celebrating the opening of a new food distribution and storage warehouse, located across from its main building on Wilson Street on the North Shore. The occasion was marked at a May 12 event, with a number of speakers, sponsors and community members gathering. “This building is truly a physical manifestation of compassion in this community,” said food bank executive director Bernadette Siracky, noting she has never seen anything like the demand during the past two years. “I think as a staff, we all know that those folks in our lineup, their struggles just mirror our own. COVID taught us so many lessons and one big one was that it really could be you there,” she said. Food bank staff from other regions were also at the event. Their interest in the new warehouse is that it furthers the Kamloops Food Bank’s place as a regional food hub. Siracky said the need for the building isn’t just driven by demand in Kamloops, but in the entire region. “Lillooet does not have storage for 10 palettes of anything, but they can sure come get a palette at a time and we save it for them,” she said. Siracky said the food bank serves 6,000 people, nine smaller food banks in the region, 45 meal-making
agencies in Kamloops and six farmers, the latter who use expired food to as animal feed. Food bank board president Lisa Lake acknowledged the project’s many donors and partners, including 16 title donors and 21 construction partners. She said through the donations and grant funding, the project was undertaken without debt. Each speaker also took the time to thank food bank staff and volunteers. “This is an essential service and we could not shut the doors for even one day — and we didn’t shut the doors for even one day,” Lake said. One of those workers is Gabrielle Bray, whose first visit to the food bank was not as a volunteer, but as a client. She later started volunteering at the food bank a way to help herself out of depression. “I kind of figured in my head, that to help myself, I could help others,” she said. Bray said she fell in love with everyone at the food bank and was eventually offered a paid position that led to full-time work. That was nearly eight years ago. She said her past experience has helped her connect with those she is serving. “I can see myself in the face of the clients,” Bray said. “I was there.” • The Kamloops Food Bank always welcomes donations. Its contact number is 250-376-2252.

Wizard of Oz runs continues through May 28 SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
KTW is again publishing this story on Western Canada Theatre’s production of The Wizard of Oz, which began on May 12 and runs through May 28 at Sagebrush Theatre. This story appeared in the May 11 edition of KTW, but nefarious activity by some wicked witches at the press centre led to the bottom part of the article being cut off. Western Canada Theatre is going all out with its upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz, which will feature a promising local actress centre stage as Dorothy. The Wizard of Oz will run from Thursday, May 12, to Saturday, May 28, at the Sagebrush Theatre, with a number of matinees and special events also planned during the long run. Western Canada Theatre artistic director James MacDonald, the play’s director and other man behind the curtain, said he started
planning for the production back in January 2021. The play, an adaptation written in 1987 by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Society, stages the familiar story many know and adds other elements, too. “It’s also got touches of humour, a lot more music and a pretty show-stopping production number that was cut from the movie,” MacDonald said. Mandisa Volo, 15, is set to take on her biggest role yet as Dorothy. It’s not her first foray with Western Canada Theatre, though, having appeared in The Sound of Music (2019) and Elf (2018). “I’m working with such an amazing cast and crew and they all made it very clear that I belonged here — and that was really important for me,” Volo said. Dorothy is a role castmate Robbie Towns, who plays the Scarecrow, said Volo was born to play. “I’ve done the show before and, usually with Dorothy, you get someone a bit older, but the fact
Mandisa Volo is Dorothy.
Robbie Towns is the Scarecrow.
Mandisa is just so natural in this role, I think everyone in Kamloops should come see this — just for that,” Towns said. Volo said she was familiar with Oz beforehand, but didn’t know the story too intimately prior to her audition. “I think the great thing about the show is that the themes presented are so timeless,” she said. “They’re just as important now as they were then.” MacDonald said the play’s “there’s no place like home” theme may resonate particularly well right now.
“We’ve been at home, mostly, for the past couple of years. But in doing that, we’ve also discovered the value of home and the value of community and friendship,” he said. Themes around escapism and imagination also remain “valuable messages,” MacDonald said, even for adults. Towns, an Alberta-born actor who has performed throughout Canada and the United Kingdom, has taken on the role of Scarecrow before, “a long, long time ago,” he said.
In fact, it was Towns’ first professional production. He said playing the Scarecrow again “feels a bit like coming home” — especially because he’s working with a familiar face once again. Western Canada Theatre choreographer Tracey Power worked on both productions. Towns said it has been challenging to be given such a physical role while coming out of the pandemic. He said he has been belting out songs on treadmills at the gym in order to prepare. Another unique aspect stems from Western Canada Theatre’s “Go Emerald” sustainability initiative. The play’s sets will feature items donated through a recycling drive, including bicycles, rakes, bottles, cans, umbrellas and more. “People are going to see them on stage and I just think the team has created this incredible world out of these common objects,” MacDonald said. Tickets and more information can be found online at wctlive.ca/ oz.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A battle fought with sound waves will be waged in downtown Kamloops on Wednesday (May 18), with a winning band taking home a trophy and $1,000 gift card. The Battle of the Bands competition, sponsored by Kamloops Kia, will take place in the 200-block of Victoria Street from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The audience vote and a panel of three community judges will decide who advances in each round. The winning band will receive a $1,000 gift card to Lee’s Music, along with a trophy. The winning group will also receive a radio-ready recording from local studio Smash Happy Music. Mike Miltimore of Lee’s Music said he is expecting an exciting showdown of local bands.

HARBURG Background Music by HERBERT STOTHART Dance & Vocal Arrangements by PETER HOWARD Orchestration by LARRY WILCOX Adapted by JOHN KANE for the Royal Shakespeare Company Based upon the Classic Motion Picture owned by Turner Entertainment Co. & distributed in all media by Warner Bros.
“Pre-pandemic, you always had little areas to play and all your friends would show up,” he said. “But during the pandemic, we lost a lot of that. So there’s a lot of pent-up energy just waiting to be unleashed and I’m super excited about it.” Miltimore said the event feels a bit like returning to his roots, recalling annual battle of the bands events held in the 1990s in Kamloops. Some equipment will be set up for competitors to use, including a drum kit, bass amp, two guitar amps and the sound system. Otherwise, bands will supply their own equipment. Each band (minimum three members) will play two original songs, together totalling no more than eight minutes. For more information on the event, go online to downtown kamloops.com.

Moose Squadron to visit Kamloops in late May KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The 419 (Moose) Air Force Squadron is scheduled to visit Kamloops on May 27. The jets from the fighter training squadron in Cold Lake, Alta., will be in Kamloops for a weekend visit. Squadron members will be attending the 36th anniver-
sary celebration dinner of 886 (Overlander) Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association on May 28th at the Royal Canadian Legion’s branch on Lansdowne Street downtown.

Kamloopsians to ever serve in the Second World War. At 29 years of age, he was reported missing in action in August 1941 after his aircraft was hit by German night fighters, The Royal Canadian Air Force Association (RCAFA) was formed in 1948 to advocate for the Air Force and to recognize and honour military and civilian
aviation, as well as support the Royal Canadian Air Force Cadet movement. 886 (Overlander) Wing was created in 1986 as part of the RCAFA to promote the traditions and heritage of the Air Force in Kamloops and to maintain a strong relationship with the City of Kamloops and 204 Black Maria Air Cadet Squadron. In 2009, 886 (Overlander) Wing was bestowed
the Freedom of the City designation by the City of Kamloops. The May 27-29 weekend visit will see the jets arrive Friday afternoon, with a departure scheduled for Sunday afternoon.

How to properly maintain those hardwood floors Hardwood floors have long been sought after by homebuyers. Homeowners who have hardwood floors know just how impressive these floors can be, especially when they’re well maintained. Maintaining wood floors is not necessarily as straightforward as it may seem and homeowners may benefit from a tutorial on how too keep the floors under their feet looking good.
recommends a simple way for homeowners to determine which type of finish is on their hardwood floors. Homeowners are advised to rub a finger across the floor. If no smudge appears, then the floor is surface sealed. If a smudge is created, then the floor has been treated with a penetrating seal. The HDA also notes that recently installed wood floors are likely surface sealed.
TO POLISH OR NOT TO POLISH? Polishing floors is an inexpensive way to keep them looking good. But the home improvement experts at BobVila.com note that not all floors can be polished and determining which ones can depends on the finish. Floors with waterproof barriers such as urethane will benefit from routine polishing. However, floors with penetrating finishes like tung oil will need to be waxed rather than polished.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD FLOORS BE POLISHED OR WAXED? Wood flooring professionals recommend polishing floors that can be polished once every few months. Waxing wood floors does not need to be done as frequently and most can benefit from a fresh coat of wax every 12 to 18 months.
WHAT FINISH IS ON THE FLOOR? The Hardwood Distributors Association
WHAT CAN I DO ON A DAILY BASIS? Some simple tricks and daily maintenance can help wood floors maintain their impressive look. • Utilize floor mats. The HDA notes that floor mats near entryways can reduce the time it takes to clean hardwood floors and
reduce the wear and tear they endure. For example, tiny particles like dirt can scratch the floor and contribute to the kind of minor damage that adds up to significant scarring over time. Floor mats near entryways ensure that most of that dirt never makes it to the wood floors. • Vacuum without a beater bar. Some vacuums contain beater bars, which are designed to pick up human hair, dog hair and other things that conventional vacuums may not be able to pick up. The HDA advises vacuuming without the beater bar, as it can contribute to small scratches in the floor. Sweeping with a high-quality broom or microfiber cloth is another way to pick up dirt without damaging floors. • Use manufacturer-recommended cleaning products. Local home improvement stores sell a host of hardwood floor cleaning products, but the HDA notes that many flooring manufacturers now sell their own hardwood floor cleaners designed specifically for their floors. These products are likely homeowners’ best bets. Homeowners who can’t find them can seek recommendations from a local flooring retailer.

F
or those homeowners lucky enough to have entertaining spaces outside, spring and summer provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh air under the sun or stars. Over the last few years, families have become especially familiar with what works about their yards and where there is room for improvement. Pandemic-related travel restrictions and early stay-at-home mandates resulted in plenty of time spent in backyards on staycations. Even though many such restrictions have been lifted, homeowners may have seen the benefits of having functional respites right outside their doors. A major backyard renovation can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. It has been suggested that homeowners budget the cost of a major landscaping project at between five and 10 per cent of
their home’s value. Large or small, here are ways to make an outdoor oasis at home. CREATE LIVING PRIVACY Living in close proximity to neighbours may make privacy harder to come by. Wood or vinyl fences, however effective, may not provide the all-natural look many people desire. Vertical gardening,
which trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Clematis or various climbing roses to grow on trellis or fencing, adds greenery and privacy. Hedges and fast-growing shrubs also can be used for natural barriers. INSTALL A POOL Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days. An elabo-

rately shaped in-ground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hang-out zone. However, above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis. PROVIDE OUTDOOR ATMOSPHERE Create a bespoke bistro vibe by using freestanding planters and posts along with hanging lights to make an intimate outdoor hangout spot at night. For those with permanent structures, like a deck or a gazebo, lights can be strung across
the area or on railings or edging. EXTEND THE LIVING SPACE Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on the grass or gravel. Plus, they add another “room” to the home. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture, such as sofas, loungers and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for any number of entertaining desires. HANG A HAMMOCK Few things evoke feelings of relaxation better than a hammock. Fitted between two trees (or two posts if trees are sparse), a hammock is an ideal place to grab a nap or read a book. Additional oasis-inspired ideas include outdoor kitchens, letting up lanterns, cascading water features, and bird feeders to attract the sounds of nature.

ALICIA QUAN/UNSPLASH
Prince of Life raised from the dead
I
n Mark, chapter three, we see the varied places where Jesus would preach. He preached wherever he had an opportunity to tell people of the love of God. In this chapter, he is found speaking in the Jewish synagogue, along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, on a mountain and in a house. It is said of him that “never a man spoke like this man” (John 7:46). In chapter three, there is also a multitude of people who are being healed by this preacher from Galilee. From verse one to verse three, there is an account of an individual who had a withered hand. The setting is in the Jewish synagogue and there were present that day some of the Pharisees and those of the Herodians. The Herodians were a sect of political ones who sought to work with the occupying Romans in things related to their lives. We read that these Pharisees and the Herodians were watching Jesus to see what he would do while he was in the synagogue. They were waiting for him to heal on the Sabbath day, that they might have some accusation against him. He spoke publicly to the man and asked him to stand forth. Then the Lord put forth a question to all the people who were in the synagogue. He asked them, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?” No one answered the question as there was silence in the synagogue. We read that Jesus looked around at the people with anger because he was grieved for the
JOHN EGGERS
You Gotta Have Faith hardness of their hearts. Then Jesus spoke to the man, saying, “Stretch forth your hand.” The man opened his hand up and it was restored to a normal hand. The Pharisees went forth and took council with the Herodians against Jesus to destroy him. We read then that Jesus left the synagogue and went to a place by the Sea of Galilee. Verses seven to 12 speak of the time by the sea and what was happening there. There was a great multitude gathered there from many areas of Israel. There were many who Jesus healed. Jesus told the people to not make it known as there would be so much commotion regarding the things that were done that the people would not be able to be controlled. Jesus didn’t come to Earth to make a name for himself, but rather “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). Next we read from verses 13 to 19 that Jesus went up into a mountain. He took his disciples up with him to choose 12 who would be the closest ones to him and who would learn about the work of God. They would be given responsibility to heal and
do other miracles that would glorify God and give evidence showing that the message of the Gospel they preached was from God’s heart to a lost world. Next, in verses 19 to 35, we find Jesus in a house with another crowd present that spilled outside of the house. In these last verses of the chapter, there are three times that Jesus is spoken against. First in verse 21, they said “he is beside himself.” They accused the Lord of being unfit mentally or that he was not thinking clearly. Second, some of the people who Jesus healed were demon possessed and the scribes who were present at the house said that Jesus cast out the demons through the power of Satan. This was a serious accusation to make and attribute the work of Jesus to evil powers. Third, in verse 30, we read that some said the Lord had an unclean spirit. Jesus responded to the accusations by saying that if evil powers were casting out evil powers, then those powers
would cease to exist. Jesus was constantly attacked by those who hated him and they would not be satisfied until they had done away with him for good. In Acts 3:15 and 3:16, Peter was preaching in Jerusalem after the resurrection of Jesus. He was telling how a lame man was healed by the power of the Lord through Peter, who said to the people, “You have killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name has made this man strong.” In verse 19, Peter preached, “Repent you therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out.” John Eggers is an elder in the assembly that meets in Westsyde Gospel Hall in Kamloops.
