VISION ZERO
CIVIC OPERATIONS OPEN HOUSE
Vision Zero is a multi-national traffic safety initiative that was founded in Sweden in the late 1990s. It is based on the philosophy that no one should be killed or seriously injured within the road transport system. Ultimately, the main goal of Vision Zero is to achieve zero fatalities or serious injuries on the road. One of the Kamloops Transportation Master Plan's strategic directions is to “develop and implement a comprehensive Vision Zero Road Safety Strategy that outlines goals and measures to achieve a target of zero collisions causing fatalities or serious injuries by 2039.”
Kamloops residents are invited to a free, interactive Open House on:

Trudeau says Ottawa there to help CHRISTOPHER FOULDS KTW EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated during Monday’s visit to Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc that Ottawa is ready to help First Nations communities dealing with the trauma of residential schools. But Trudeau did not offer specifics, aside from noting he had spoken that day with Morning-Star Peters, a Tk’emlúps councillor, about a local proposed elders lodge/healing centre. In a Q&A session with media, the prime minister said the federal government will help with whatever communities need as part of the reconciliation process, noting it cannot be an Ottawa-led process. “The federal government will be there for whatever this community and others need,” he said in response to a reporter’s question about a national approach to helping fund reconciliation-related ini-
tiatives. “It is up to each community to decide what the right path is for them and the federal government will support it.” When asked what help, financial or otherwise, Ottawa will offer First Nations communities undertaking ground-penetrating radar surveys of land for possible graves, Trudeau responded: “We will be there for whatever is needed.” When asked for an update on attendance and other records pertaining to students who attended residential schools in Canada between 1890 and 1996, the prime minister said it is his understanding the federal government has handed over all known documents to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Prior to the Q&A with the media, Trudeau joined Tk’emlúps Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir at the nearby Powwow Arbour. There, before a large crowd, Trudeau offered remarks on the one-year anniver-
sary of Tk’emlúps’ announcement of the discovery of 200 probable graves. “I’m here with a simple message. We’re here for you. We’ll continue to remember the children who never returned and to support one another as we walk forward together on the shared path of reconciliation,” he said. As the prime minister began to speak, a few First Nations protesters briefly shouted him down, claiming he was not welcome there. UPDATE ON EXCAVATION PLANS When asked at the media Q&A for an update on excavation plans, Casimir reiterated what she said last week, that a task force has been created, technical experts have been consulted and any remains found will be connected to the communities of origin. Thus far, Casimir said, there is no timeline for when excavation work will begin.

More ground-penetrating radar work begins TK’EMLÚPS TE SECWÉPEMC HAS ENLISTED DR. SARAH BEAULIEU TO FOCUS ON CHIEF LOUIS CENTRE LANDS OFF HIGHWAY 5, WITH THE PROJECT EXPECTED TO LAST FOR ONE MONTH MCHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
More ground-penetrating radar work is being done on Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc land. Work in May 2021 uncovered signs of about 200 probable graves near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, with excavation of the site to determine what is under the ground yet to be done. The latest round of groundpenetrating radar work is being done under the direction of Dr. Sarah Beaulieu of the University of the Fraser Valley, who also oversaw the work in May 2021. This new operation is focused on the Chief Louis Centre lands off Highway 5 and is expected to take more than a month to complete. Beaulieu will be supported by Le Estcwicwéy (The Missing) team and members of the Tk’emlúps
natural resources department. A day of ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of last year’s announcement took place at the Tk’emlúps Powwow Arbour on Monday, with Prime Minster Justin Trudeau, Governor General Mary Simon and Tk’emlúps Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir among the speakers. As for the timeline on excavating the existing GPR site to confirm that remains are there, Casimir said the band is looking at a process of “exhumation to memorialization.” “We know that when we start doing some of the archeological work, we know that it’s going to be about communication, respect, honour and dignity, but also about connecting anyone we may find to their home communities,” she said. Beaulieu spoke of the groundpenetrating radar process at a
press conference in Kamloops on July 15, 2021. “With ground-penetrating radar, we can never say definitely they are human remains until you excavate, which is why we need to pull back a little bit and say they are probable burials, they are targets of interest,” Beaulieu said. “They have multiple signatures that present as burials, but because of that, we have to say they are probable until one excavates.” However, Beaulieu said the features of the anomalies found, including an east-west configuration — which matches standard Christian burial practices, added to her belief that the area likely hosts human burial sites. Beaulieu has years of experience in the use of the technology, having surveyed municipal and Indigenous cemeteries across Canada, along with Second World War internment sites.

Police-involved shooting probed KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Highway 5 was closed in both directions in the North Thompson south of Barriere at Louis Creek from just before 11 p.m. this past Friday to 6:46 a.m. on Saturday due to a police incident involving a shooting.

to the 2900-block of Highway 5 in the Louis Creek area to investigate a report that a man had been dropped off on the side of the road and had picked up what appeared to be a weapon. BC RCMP Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet said “an interaction occurred” between the man and officers, with shots being fired by police. Shoihet said the man was shot and injured, but officers were not injured. Shoihet said officers at the scene began administering first-aid until paramedics arrived and took the
injured man to hospital. Highway 5 was immediately shut down as a result of the shooting and remained that way until just before 7 a.m. on Saturday morning. A large number of passenger vehicles were able to turn around on the highway and re-route to their destination, but some 100 commercial big rigs and RVs spent nine hours on a cold night parked along the highway. Shoihet said the RCMP Southeast District general investigation section is also conducting a concurrent criminal code investigation.

Child released during robbery arrest KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A 32-year-old Okanagan man is facing a string of charges after allegedly robbing a gas station in Westsyde on May 19 and using his child during an encounter with police as a human shield. According to a release issued by BC RCMP, a Kamloops Mountie was conducting a traffic stop in the parking lot of the Super Save gas station in the 3200-block of Westsyde Road at about 7 p.m. when he was notified of an armed robbery that had just taken place at the very gas station at which
he was conducting the stop. “The suspect had allegedly entered the gas station holding the hand of his small [three-year-old] child and, after walking around the store, approached the counter and demanded money,” the release states. “During the course of the robbery, the suspect had pulled up his shirt, exposing the butt of what appeared to be a firearm.” The officer had spotted the man and child leaving the gas station property and found them nearby. According to police, the situation became “deeply disturbing” when the
man allegedly threatened the police officer and put the child between himself and the Mountie, using them as a human shield. “The man eventually released the child, who ran to a nearby family member,” the release states. “After a brief struggle, the man was taken into custody and found to be in possession of a replica firearm.” Andrew Miller of Oliver is facing the following charges: robbery, uttering threats, willfully obstructing a police officer and using an imitation firearm for committing an indictable offence.

Fill those arms with needed funding
S
cience can make dreams come true for families. However, many of those families simply cannot afford it as the pricey cost of fertility treatment has recently been in the news. British Columbia’s medical system covers infertility investigations and initial treatments, but it does not cover many treatments, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF is a procedure involving fertilization of an egg outside of the body and transfer into a uterus. It dates back to the 1970s and the technology has come a long way since the first so-called “test tube baby,” helping countless parents have children. Fertility treatment in British Columbia largely occurs in private clinics in Kelowna, Vancouver and Victoria. The care is splendid and staff can seemingly perform magic — but treatment costs range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, in addition to travel requirements and time off work. IVF bills range from $10,000 to $20,000 for one round and it often takes more than one round to have a baby. BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon is calling for the province to fund IVF through the public health-care system. The CBC recently reported on companies like Starbucks that are providing coverage through benefits for fertility treatment to incentivize employment in an increasingly competitive job market. They’re onto something. Infertility can pop up in many
JESSICA WALLACE
View From KTW NEWSROOM forms. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, one in six couples in Canada experience infertility. It is so common that, once you start talking about the issue, it feels like you have entered into a secret club you didn’t know existed. I have written in the past about my own experience with fertility and my husband and I are still awaiting our rainbow baby. Although we are not at the IVF stage, we have spent thousands of dollars on treatment and travel through both the private and public health-care systems. We are fortunate to be in a position to do so, but that is not the case for everyone. I have watched couples make tremendous sacrifice simply because such treatment is not funded.Concordia University public policy professor Francesca Scala penned a book called Delivering Policy and identified existing policy that precludes the treatment from public funding. “Part of the reason why IVF is not publicly funded is that

although infertility is understood to be a medical condition, IVF is not considered a medical necessity,” Scala wrote for Policy Options, a digital magazine published by the Institute for Research on Public Policy. “The Canada Health Act mandates provinces to provide coverage only for treatments and services deemed to be ‘medically necessary.’ The term, however, is not defined in the Act. Provinces are left with considerable leeway in interpreting which services they must cover.” In British Columbia, it is not covered. A statement from the Ministry of Health reads: “This is not a comment on the value of invitro fertilization (IVF), but rather
reflects the limits of available public funding. Our focus is to ensure that British Columbians have access to effective, medically necessary procedures, while keeping health-care costs sustainable.” Government funding, however, is all about prioritization and one could argue fertility treatment is medically necessary when couples are impoverished by private health-care costs, face physical and mental-health issues caused by infertility and find family doctor, nurse practitioner, OBGYN and hospital resources drained. Fertility treatment is not covered across much of Canada. Consequences of that, Scala wrote, include minimal oversight of private IVF clinics, encouraging
higher risk pregnancies as couples choose multiple embryo transfers and inequity for marginalized groups, including low-income couples and those in the LGBTQ community. Women also need access to this treatment to preserve their ability to have children later in life and provide them with the opportunity to educate themselves and get established in the workforce. Most Canadians, however, aren’t getting help from federal and provincial political parties in power as they look inside their wallets with empty arms. Jessica Wallace is a reporter with KTW.

SHRINKFLATION A GROWING PROBLEM Editor: Shrinkflation has been in the news recently as inflation rises.

Editor: This wonderful multi-use Xget’tem Trail in Peterson Creek Park is used on a regular basis by scores of Kamloops residents and visitors to our community. Most everyone respects others, but there are a few exceptions. Some cyclists fly down the trail and do not give other trail users any warning that they are approaching, nor do they slow down. This is particularly an issue when the biker is coming from behind another trail user. I am blind and it is very scary when one of these cyclists flies past my guide dog and myself without any warning. Most cyclists do use bells or say “Coming up behind you” and this is so greatly appreciated. It would be awesome if all cyclists on the trail either used a bell or let people know they are coming up behind them. This would make the trail a safer place to be and would have a positive impact on the end user’s experience. Todd Harding Kamloops

But — and there’s always a but — there are a few people on bikes who have no respect for anyone else and tear down the trail with no warning. It’s very unnerving.

Goose gets golden welcome by Kamloops Mounties KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A baby goose is recovering on a farm after the Kamloops RCMP helped it fly the coop. The Kamloops gosling, which has since been dubbed Little Jerry, was rescued by Mounties, who were recently called to a local homeless shelter, where a woman had run afoul by bringing the bird back to her room and refusing to let it free. Taking a gosling is in contravention to the Migratory Birds Act, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Crystal Evelyn explained.
“When officers attended the room, the woman denied having the gosling,” Evelyn said, adding that while officers did not see the gosling, its chirps led police to its location — inside the woman’s pocket. Evelyn said that after consulting with the Conservation Officers Service, an officer attempted to return the gosling to the beach from where it had been taken, but no other geese were present and he was concerned the baby goose would be killed if he left it there alone.
Instead, Kamloops Const. Richard Christy offered to take the bird home to his family farm, where he has a safe place with some chickens, ducks and a pond. Christy discussed his plan with the Conservation Officers Service before bringing the gosling home for rehabilitation and eventual reentry into the wild. Anyone who comes across an animal they believe to be abandoned is advised to not touch it and to contact the Conservation Officers Service at 250-371-6266 before interfering with wildlife.
PILOT PROJECT NEAR BRIDGE WILL BE MADE PERMANENT KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The City of Kamloops is dubbing a recent pilot project to improve traffic flow onto Overlanders Bridge “successful” and is planning to make the change permanent. The city recently decommissioned a traffic light, closed the right lane accessing the bridge
from Victoria Street West and installed a merge lane. The project means westbound traffic on Victoria Street West must merge into one lane when approaching the bridge, while eastbound traffic on the Summit Connector can flow onto the span without being interrupted by a traffic light. The city’s transportation man-

city is now waiting for a contractor to implement detailed design drawings. Lane markings, concrete barriers and signage will be needed to make the change permanent. “By the beginning of June, we are trying to have that lane configuration permanent,” Irani said. “In the future, we’ll see how it performs and if there is any other
future projects that we need to plan for.” Irani said the city is working constantly on traffic optimization projects. He said the next area to be analyzed is Hillside Drive near Aberdeen Mall, toward Canadian Tire. “In the near future, we will make the signal timing adjustments,” he said.

After fire, Quaaout Lodge will be rebuilt MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The entire guest wing of rooms was destroyed in a fire at Quaaout Lodge on May 22, but the Little Shuswap Lake Band said the lodge will be rebuilt. “Our focus right now is on the safety of our community and doing what we can to support our guests and our employees,” Little Shuswap Lake Band Kúkpi7 (Chief ) James Tomma said in a statement. “But I can tell you we will rebuild. Quaaout Lodge is an important part of our community. It’s an engine of economic development, but also the cultural heart of the community. Tomma said the fire has been traumatic for all involved, including guests, employees and community members. “Thankfully, and most importantly, there were no fatalities or serious injuries,” he said. “I want to personally thank
our Skwlax volunteer firefighters and the Chase Fire Department for their heroic efforts in responding to the fire — and also the staff at Quaaout Lodge who, without a second thought, ensured they got everyone safely out of harm’s way when the fire started.” Chase Fire Rescue Chief Brian Lauzon said all 70 units of the guest wing at Quaaout Lodge were destroyed by the fire, but the lobby, kitchen, dining room and conference centre are still intact. Lauzon said Chase firefighters were called for assistance and left the incident on Sunday night, but had no updates on the blaze as Chase Fire Rescue personnel haven’t been back on scene since. Little Shuswap Lake Band Fire Chief Paul Gamble had no update, saying band council asked he not release any information on the fire, directing KTW to Tomma, with whom a message was left. KTW is also awaiting word from Chase RCMP on whether it is involved in the investigation
of the fire’s cause. Tomma noted that “Quaaout” means “when the sun’s rays first touch the water.” “And there will be a new dawn for the lodge and for our community,” he said. The band, through its fire department, Quaaout Lodge management and in-house emergency support services co-ordinator, is working with agencies to provide support to displaced guests and employees. The resort and adjacent Talking Rock Golf Course will remain closed while the initial investigation is completed. Tomma said the situation is being closely monitored and updates will be made available via the media as new information becomes available. Quaaout Lodge opened in 1991. It has been updated and expanded over the years, including the addition of the Talking Rock Golf Course in 2007, which is a Top 20 PGA of Canada-rated course.

I once received an email that read, ” I’m lonely. Can you help?” Sadly, I responded to this man, telling him can’t help the lonely. I explained that trying to find a partner when one is feeling lonely could be disastrous. A partner can’t fix loneliness. Lonely and being alone are very different. I have heard from many women who say it’s vital that the partner they consider for a relationship, have their own life full of hobbies and activities. They don’t want to become the only thing in someone’s life. I have observed some glaring differences in the single men and women I have been meeting during the past five years. Of course,
this isn’t in all cases as there are exceptions and, in several cases, it’s reversed. But for the most part, when women become single, either through death or divorce, they move forward with strong friendships and various activities. Many join groups and organizations and take lessons as they try new things. Men, on the other hand, tend to isolate and stop doing the things they used to do. They say their wives used to plan everything. Again, this is not in all cases. I love it when I see groups of retired men having their coffee at Tim Hortons or A&W, engaged in great conversation. Some men tell me they just don’t have those friend groups and they are wired differently than women. This is true and some men don’t need or want a lot of friendships, but if they are looking for a new romantic partner, they will need to step out of their comfort zone a little bit. Those of you who have been reading this column over the years probably notice I have mentioned several times that volunteering is a great way to put yourself out there. Even introverted people can do some quiet volunteering. You will feel rewarded and these steps could be life -changing.

If your answer is, “Nothing much,” when asked by a potential match what you do for hobbies or enjoyment, chances are you won’t be getting a second date. I once went grocery shopping and I had not had breakfast or lunch. I found myself famished and grabbed some junk food in the checkout aisle and polished off a big bag of jujubes before I got home. I felt this disgusting blob of sugar in my guts and immediately regretted it. Nutritionists will advise against shopping for food when you are hungry. That’s the same reason you shouldn’t look for a partner when you are lonely. It will lead to regret. Once you have found a couple of new hobbies or something new to put on your calendar every week, you will have a new spring in your step. That is the time to meet someone new. A partner can enrich and enhance your happy life, but a partner cannot fix your sad, lonely life. If you are happy, single and already had lunch, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis. ca and I can introduce you to someone with whom you can share some fun adventures. Don’t forget — your last chance for romance is this summer.

Debating expense amounts at the TNRD THE FINAL DECISION ON HOW MUCH DIRECTORS CAN CLAIM WILL BE DECIDED LATER BY THE BOARD JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Discussion on policy work at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District got heated last week, including a split 5-4 vote and concern raised by one director about overall tone of the meeting and resistance to putting in place reasonable restrictions on politicians’ expenses. The TNRD’s policy review committee met on May 18 to discuss a policy item that pertains to board expenses. Staff are proposing directors claim $25 for breakfast, $30 for lunch and $45 for dinner through per diems submitted without receipts, to a maximum of $100 per day. The per diems would apply to directors on TNRD business for meetings, conferences and more. The flat rate applicable any-
where in the province is more than a previous proposal for rates of $80 and $100, which would be adjusted depending on where in B.C. an expense was taking place. TNRD chief financial officer Doug Rae said he reviewed directors’ 2019 per diems since the initial proposal earlier this year and thought $100 would be a better threshold. The per diems will replace a former $120 overnight per diem rate, which included $37 in daily incidentals. City of Kamloops director Denis Walsh is new to the committee after replacing former committee chair and fellow city councillor Kathy Sinclair, who resigned from her role at the regional district to take a job at Thompson Rivers University. Walsh called the new proposed per diem rates “excessive.” He suggested the rates could be cut in half, noting he went out for
dinner and a drink recently and it cost him $26. Walsh also suggested that, without receipts, directors could charge taxpayers $25 for breakfast while only spending $10 on a coffee and bagel, pocketing the other $15. If they don’t claim it, meanwhile, the director would instead be out $10, he noted. “I don’t think this really covers it properly,” Walsh said. Merritt Mayor Linda Brown (who was acclaimed the committee’s new vice-chair at the May 18 meeting) said $45 for dinner includes tax, tip and drinks. She suggested the TNRD utilize a higher daily meal expense rate of $113.50, as set out by Canada Revenue Agency. “I don’t go to fast food restaurants. I’ve got too many allergies,” Brown said. “I don’t use fast food and I can’t use toast for breakfast. So, I have to have a restaurant that
serves me gluten-free meals and, when I look at that, when you include the tip and the taxes, the meal cost is not that significant.” Area L (Grasslands) director Ken Gillis opposed new wording in the policy that eliminates the option for directors to go to a restaurant instead of eating conference meals. He told the committee food offered during conferences is not a meal anybody wants to eat. Area A (Wells Gray Country) director Carol Schaffer agreed. “I’d just like to say that I attended SILGA [Southern Interior Local Government Association conference] and the breakfasts were god-awful,” she said, referring to the late April conference held at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort in Salmon Arm. “They were cold. They weren’t edible, as far as I’m concerned.” Gillis furthermore spoke on

behalf of those with food allergies. Gillis and Brown are married. Deanna Campbell, the TNRD’s general manager of corporate and legislative services, explained that some conferences charge meals automatically as part of registration. Campbell said Gillis’ desire for directors to be able to go to a restaurant instead of eating conference meals goes against what the regional district has been allowing for staff. “The concern for both staff and board was that we’re paying this additional cost of the conference, which includes meals, and then we’re also reimbursing you for additional meals,” Campbell said. TNRD Area P (Rivers and the Peaks) director Mel Rothenburger and City of Kamloops director Dale Bass expressed opposition to Gillis’ proposal.

“The problem is, the TNRD — i.e. the taxpayers — end up paying an extra amount if somebody doesn’t happen to like the bagels that are provided at, say, UBCM conventions,” Rothenburger said, noting every penny expensed by directors is charged to taxpayers and the purpose of the policy review is to implement reasonable restrictions upon themselves. “I get a sense here, chair, that we’re resisting this stuff instead of promoting it and trying to put reasonable restrictions on ourselves. So, I have a concern about the kind of tone that’s coming out of this meeting.” Added Bass: “I’m kind of embarrassed of this conversation.” On multiple occasions throughout the discussion, staff were also asked to “massage” language in the policy. Ashcroft Mayor and com-
mittee chair Barbara Roden said many taxpayers would be happy with the food politicians receive at conferences and suggested food allergies and inedible food could be accommodated via per diems, but only as an exception. Roden has replaced outgoing Sinclair as chair of the policy committee. Gillis moved to amend the policy so directors could have the option to choose a meal provided or expense a meal. The motion passed in a 5-4 vote, with directors Brown, Gillis, Schaffer, Barriere Mayor Ward Stamer and Area B (Thompson Headwaters) director Stephen Quinn in favour. Bass, Roden, Rothenburger and Walsh were opposed. The director expense policy also includes 61 cents per kilometre for vehicular use on TNRD business and communication expenses of $2,000 per year for electoral area directors and $500 per year
for municipal directors, which can be used for cellphones, internet and more. Gillis and Stamer pointed to sky-high gas prices and questioned whether the vehicular rate was sufficient. Chief financial officer Rae, however, said directors are being paid more than $5 per litre to drive. The remainder of the rate is for insurance and maintenance costs. Rae also noted the Capital Regional District on Vancouver Island provides 50 cents per kilometre. The committee then voted 7-1 to send the proposed policy to a full board meeting for discussion and vote at a future date. Walsh was opposed, Bass, Gillis, Quinn, Roden, Rothenburger, Schaffer and Stamer voted in favour and Brown left the meeting prior to the decision. Roden said the board will have an opportunity to review what was decided by the committee.

A call for a review of existing TNRD boundaries JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Should the ThompsonNicola Regional District — which encompasses 45,000 square kilometres in the Southern Interior of British Columbia — be split up into
multiple regions? At the least, a Kamloops director is calling for a review of regional district boundaries. TNRD director and Kamloops Coun. Mike O’Reilly has presented a notice of motion, stating a boundary review has not been conducted since regional district incorpo-

ration, which occurred in 1967. The motion notes the TNRD is one of the largest regions in the province and cites precedence for the boundaries review, as other regional districts have changed theirs in recent years. The notice of motion calls for a working group to be established to communicate with staff and report back to the board, with a recommendation within one year on potentially restructuring the regional district (which may include adjustment to TNRD boundaries and/or dividing the TNRD into two regional districts) or leaving the boundaries as they currently exist. The notice of motion calls for the working group to consist of a maximum of 12 directors, with a mini-
mum of three municipal and three electoral area directors. Speaking with KTW, O’Reilly said he presented the notice of motion after he was approached a few months ago by someone involved with a regional district boundary alignment on Vancouver Island. He said several new regional districts resulted from the process in the early 2000s. O’Reilly said he does not know why the TNRD boundaries — which are vast and include Kamloops, Merritt, Clearwater, Blue River, Lytton and more — were chosen back in the 1960s, but pointed to population growth since then. O’Reilly said the benefit of changing the regional district boundaries could be efficiency.
He said the existing 26-person board is only set to get bigger. “The No. 1 reason for this is to look at the best way that we can serve the constituents of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District,” he said. Through their property tax bills, Kamloops residents fund about a third of the TNRD’s overall budget. O’Reilly said provincial guidelines exist that set out how to restructure a regional district. Should a recommendation to do so occur, the TNRD would go to the province with the direction and the province would assess the request. The motion will be debated at the regional district’s next board meeting, which will be held on June 16.

Thompson Rivers University will offer discounted tuition rates to some students from war-torn Ukraine in the 2022-2023 academic year. Ukrainian students who come to Canada under the federal government’s Canada-Ukraine Authorized for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program will be eligible to pay domestic tuition rates, rather than international fees. Domestic students in a full-time degree program pay $4,487 in tuition,
plus fees, at TRU, while international students pay $18,355, plus fees. TRU hopes to sponsor 50 students under the program, including 20 who have already enrolled at the university, for up to 60 credits, or two full-time years of study. The federal CUAET program helps Ukrainians come to Canada as quickly as possible, providing opportunities to work and study while here. The program also extends the visitor status for any Ukrainians already in Canada.

The relationship between the City of Kamloops and Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc has been recognized by the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA). The city and band were presented with an award for collaboration during a virtual awards ceremony last week. The municipal administrators association, which represents city managers and CAOs across the country, highlighted the following collaborative initiatives between the city and Tk’emlúps: community-tocommunity meetings, recreation, celebrations, service agreements for fire protection, transit and sewer and the city’s hiring of an archeologist. Also cited was the city’s support for Tk’emlúps following the May 2021 announcement by the band of 200 probable graves being found near the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. “CAMA is pleased to recognize Kamloops and the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc for excellence demonstrated through their collaboration to reconciliation,” CAMA president Jack Benzaquen said in a release. “The efforts of both communities put towards relationship building, collaboration and reconciliation is immense.” The city also has an external relations manager, Tammy Robertson, who took on the initiative of learning Secwepemctsin, the language of the Secwépemc, in recent years and works closely with the band on behalf of the city. On May 20, the city, Tk’emlúps and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District unveiled a new crosswalk (in photo above) that was installed downtown in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. The new crosswalk is intended to highlight the one-year anniversary this month of the announcement by Tk’emlúps of suspected graves near the former residential school.

Bone belongs to city man reported missing DAVID BOSANAC WAS REPORTED MISSING ON MARCH 18. ON MARCH 26, THE BONE WAS FOUND KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
David Bosanac, 22, was last heard from on Feb. 25 and reported missing to police on March 18 by family, with whom he had not been in contact for weeks.
A human bone discovered along a walking trail near Kamloops Airport has been identified as belonging to a missing Kamloops man. David Bosanac, 22, was last heard from on Feb. 25 and reported missing to police on March 18 by family, with whom he had not been in contact for weeks. Police did not seek public help in finding Bosanac for another nine days, when they issued a press release on March 27, seeking assistance in locating him. However, by then his remains had already, unknowingly, been discovered. On March 26, one day before police issued the missing persons release, a person walking their dog along Aviation Way near the loop section of the airport trail, found a human bone, leading to a police investigation that on May 18 confirmed the bone belonged to Bosanac. Police are now asking the public for more information on the last movements of the 22-year-old Kamloops man. “Since the initial discovery, police were able to obtain DNA to compare to the
found bone and can now confirm that it did indeed belong to Mr. Bosanac and that he is deceased,” Kamloops RCMP Const. Crystal Evelyn said. Evelyn said that because the cause of Bosanac’s death is still unknown, police are not releasing what specific bone was discovered. It does not appear as though any other human bones have been found in the area as police said subsequent searches since March 26 resulted in no other items of significance being found. Since March 26, police have searched the area where the bone was found with a police dog, Kamloops Search and Rescue and, most recently, RCMP cadaver dogs. A police boat and aircraft were also utilized to expand the search and cover the shoreline. A second bone was found in the same area by a hiker on April 9. Initially believed to be human, the bone was determined to have been from an animal — possibly a juvenile deer. Police are hoping to speak to anyone who had contact with Bosanac around the time he was last heard from — on Feb. 25.

Whether Bosanac was a victim of a crime is not yet clear. “At this time, the circumstances surrounding Mr. Bosanac’s death are still unknown and we’re hoping the public may have information that can help police better determine a timeline on his final days, providing some clues as to what happened,” Evelyn said. Bosanac was scheduled to stand trial in Kamloops provincial court on April 22 on a charge of assault causing bodily harm. When he did not appear, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-8707.

BRUIN BROWSING FOR BRUNCH
This brown bear was spotted on May 19 rummaging through garbage in the Valleyview area. Multiple bruin sightings have been reported to KTW recently in neighbourhoods throughout Kamloops. The Sagebrush Neighbourhood Association warned last week of bear sightings in that area south of Columbia Street, between Sixth and 13th avenues, and advised its residents not to put out garbage too early. The city’s garbage bylaw prohibits bins from being placed curbside until at least 4 a.m. on collection day between April 1 and Nov. 30. According to WildSafeBC, hundreds of bears are destroyed in B.C. every year as a result of conflicts between the animals and people. To report a conflict with wildlife that threatens public safety, call B.C. Conservation’s RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277. LUCILLE WALLACE PHOTO

Uride promises cheaper fares, faster service SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A new ride-hailing service is set to launch in Kamloops, promising cheaper trips than taxis and prompt pick-ups. Uride will begin offering rides in Kamloops on June 3. Five years ago, Cody Ruberto launched the company in Thunder Bay, Ont., pledging to reduce impaired driving in his community. “Operating in smaller communities where people don’t have the same access to great public transit or reliable ride-share or taxi,” he said. “So, the whole reason we started was to prevent impaired driving.” The service, which is available

through a smartphone app, has since grown to span four provinces, including B.C. The service is already available in Kelowna and there are plans to also expand to Nanaimo, Victoria and Prince George. Ruberto said his service focuses on quick pick-up service and competitive pricing. “In most cities we operate in, pricing is usually 15 to 35 per cent less than taxis in those towns. Passengers can expect to save,” he said. The service will launch with various promotions for customers, such as first-ride discounts, and for signed-up drivers, too. Ruberto couldn’t say how many drivers the service will launch with in Kamloops, as the sign-up process is ongoing, but as a ball-

park figure, he said he expected “dozens.” The service will launch with a $1,250 weekly guarantee for those designated as “all-star drivers.” Ruberto said to qualify, drivers would have to be available to work for 60 hours each week to earn the minimum, but he expects actual driving hours would be between five and seven hours a day. “In the beginning, we want to ensure drivers are being paid a
minimum amount and then, once it gets busy and the market gets off the ground, hopefully drivers will earn more than that over time,” he said. Part-time positions are also available, with the company offering a $700 sign-up bonus. Applications can be accessed online and require drivers to hold a Class 4 license, be at least 19 years old and own a vehicle built in 2012 or later, among other qualifications. Ruberto said it’s important that drivers are able to earn a reliable income. He said he hopes the minimum weekly guarantees will become irrelevant, with drivers earning beyond those amounts through sheer demand. “I think we’re going to get there in Kamloops. It might take two or

To apply to become a driver and for more information, go online to uridetech.com. Uride is one of 25 companies approved to offer ride-hailing services in British Columbia and one of eight approved to operate in the B.C. Interior.

Jake Caughill will soon wave goodbye to Zamboni driving duties at Kamloops Blazers’ games. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
Caughill parks Zamboni for good MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Operatic Zamboni driver Jake Caughill will soon take his swansong spin around Sandman Centre. Caughill, a City of Kamloops employee who has been driving icecleaning rigs since 2009, is switching to day shift and relinquishing his beloved duties behind the wheel on Kamloops Blazers’ game nights. The Blazers offered parting gifts this past Saturday, when Seattle downed Kamloops 4-1 on Mark Recchi Way. Caughill cranked the siren before puck drop, with an introduction from game host Tara Holmes, and was featured prominently on the big screen while driving during intermissions. “It was tearful, at times, just looking up and seeing people I’d seen and waved at for the past 10 years,” said Caughill, who plans to put his machine in park for good after the
Western Conference final. “Just the fans, the kids waving at you, the people you meet, reporters who write stories about you singing, things like that … I’ll miss everything about it.” The Zamboni man possesses serious pipes and was often heard belting out ballads long after most fans had exited the building, his voice echoing throughout the arena while he piloted the Zamboni. “I’ve just always liked to sing,” Caughill said. “In the car, truck, whatever, so I figured I’d transfer it over to the Zamboni. It passes the time and this building, when it’s empty, has amazing acoustics, so it’s kind of fun to hear yourself.” Fans were not allowed to attend games during the 2021 WHL campaign, the bubble season that took place amid the pandemic. On opening night, player introductions, a tradition usually accompanied by smoke and lights and red carpet and cameras and, most importantly, humans cheering for
their hometown players, rang hollow — until Caughill’s voice filled the barn. “I got to know a lot of the kids,” Caughill said. “When I saw them coming out and no one was there to cheer for them, I figured someone had to yell. I knew they’d get a kick out of it and laugh about it after, but it was also just nice to hear that cheer. It was so empty in the building. It felt so wrong.” “Yeah, Zary!” he yelled. And Caughill did that for most everybody, altering the hollered name, of course. “100 per cent I heard him,” former Blazers’ captain Connor Zary told KTW after the game. “Jake’s awesome. It’s nice to have him in the corner cheering for us. At least we have one voice in there cheering loud.” Caughill’s humming Zamboni and big voice will be missed. “I just always wanted to drive the Zamboni, like every other kid in Canada,” Caughill said.

Donald Percy Greenstreet September 11,1933 - May 17, 2022
It is with our deepest sadness that our father, grandfather, and friend passed away in his sleep, after a short battle with pneumonia and lung cancer. Donald met his wife Muriel in Vancouver in 1953, and they shared a wonderful life for 63 years. Donald retired early from truck driving to care for his late wife for 20 years. He spent his last years living with his daughter Carolyn, spending time with family and friends enjoying good food and laughter. Donald came to Canada in 1950 from Ashford Kent ,England, for a better life after growing up during the war. Through the years, Donald travelled across Canada, and moved the family to various places, but finally retired back in Kamloops. Donald worked for CN Telecommunications, Midcontinent Supply and Arrow Transport. He and his wife managed various apartment buildings over the years. Donald loved golf, fishing and camping at Hyas Lake. He always helped out his neighbours and enjoyed growing a garden. He loved his family, and was proud of his granddaughters, as they brought great joy to his life. He loved watching Celtic Thunder music videos and loved singing along. In his final hours, Brenda and Carolyn played music for him. Donald will be missed by his daughter Carolyn Tytor, son Tyler Greenstreet, daughter-in-law Brenda Greenstreet, granddaughters Danielle Greenstreet and Nicole Greenstreet and close friends the Austins and the McKenzies. Thank you to the amazing care team at Royal Inland Hospital.
Charmaine, Sharilyn, Melissa & Trent, grandchildren and great-grandchild.
In lieu of flowers , please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society in Donald's name.

She is survived by her son Cory Sandyke (Kelly), daughter Pamela Jules, daughter-in-law Jo-Anne (Stacey Sandyke), and sisters Gloria and Bernice.
Until We Meet Again Those special memories of you will always bring a smile If only we could have your back just for a little while Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do You always meant so very much and always will do too The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause us pain But you’re forever in our hearts until we meet again. We miss you so very much Keit Love Amanda, Nick, Martha and Judy.

Olive Martin
February 11, 1938 - May 10, 2022 Olive passed peacefully in Royal Inland Hospital with family present and comforted by the love of all those who had spent time with her in her final days and hours. Olive was born in Paisley, Scotland. She married and emigrated to Canada in 1960, excited for the opportunities that lay ahead. She and George moved their young family to Kamloops via Montreal and Terrace Bay, ON in 1967. In addition to caring for her family, Olive worked at Cariboo College and later at Ponderosa Lodge, retiring in 1999. She had a life well-lived, with George ever at her side and lovingly caring for her as her health declined in her later years. Olive was a strong woman, which was necessary to manage the mischief and adventure that came with having three sons. Mum loved Ken, Rod and Peter deeply and fiercely. She cherished their families and the daughters she finally had in their wives. Olive was thrilled to be a Gran, and her grandchildren were blessed to be so loved by her. She adored and had a special relationship with each of them. She was proud of their accomplishments and was especially looking forward to becoming a Great-Gran this summer. Mum valued tradition and spent many hours tracing her family history. There was a Doulton figurine and a bit of Scotland or plaid in almost every room. There was never a Christmas without her trifle for dessert and never a grandchild without some cherished item that Gran had lovingly knitted or sewn for them. Our Mum and Gran has left each of us with fond memories. She will be deeply missed by her husband of 62 years, George, sons Rod (Darcy) and Peter (Victoria), and grandchildren Jarred (Nicole), Kelsey (Connor), Parker, Evan, Thane, Paige and Emily. She was predeceased by her son, Ken in 2020. Olive and Ken loved summers at the cabin and time spent with family there, so a celebration of life will be held for them on Sunday, June 26, 2022 at East Barriere Lake.

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of despair
Dennis Epp Dennis would have called us stupid for doing something fancy for him, but we are going to do it anyway. Dennis wasn’t much for doing what other people told him to do! Dennis was born in Hedly, B.C. where he would later climb a mountain with a string of horses to rescue some people who didn’t know how to drive properly. He was a champion bull rider in the 70’s and has a belt buckle from Cloverdale to prove it. He later joined the Air Force, where he served in the Special Forces in Europe, doing things you are not cleared to know about. Dennis was a race car mechanic and had a series of hot cars, which he drove real fast. The RCMP never caught him and now they never will! He played bass and had a sweet guitar. In his later years, Dennis did exactly what he wanted to do. He drank beer, smoked hand rolled cigarettes, and talked to pretty girls. He was also an active member of the Kamloops Brain Injury Association, taking a highly visible role at the Gur Singh Memorial Golf Tournament and the KBIA information tables. The guy with the cowboy hat and cowboy boots – that was our Dennis. Dennis always claimed to be grumpy, but somehow, he was always laughing. We will miss you Denny.

In Loving Memory of Stanislawa (Stella) Grubisa (nee Besaraba) November 13, 1932 - May 16, 2022
Mrs. Stanislawa (Stella) Grubisa passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on May 16, 2022 at the age of 89 years. She is survived by her loving son Gerald (Darlene) and grandchildren Garrett and Olivia, all of Kamloops, BC. Stella was predeceased by her husband Gaetano in 2014. Stella was born on November 13, 1932, in Bonnyville, Alberta of parents Alexander and Anna Besaraba, (who immigrated from Poland) along with sisters Agnes and MaryAnn (deceased), and brother Frank (deceased). She grew up on a farm outside of Bonnyville and had an interest in caring for people, eventually becoming a nurse’s aide. However, later in life Stella wanted a different experience where she set her sights on moving to the big city of Edmonton. It was in Edmonton that she was able to carve out her successful life path. Not long after moving to Edmonton, Stella met the love of her life Gaetano and were married in 1967. Together they forged a long lasting and devoted relationship in Edmonton until Gaetano’s passing in 2014. Life to Stella was all about supporting her family and ensuring that her home was a stable and comfortable place for her family. Stella took great pride in shaping her household by having a colossal green thumb. Gardening and yardwork were a passion as evident by the yard paradises that she created and maintained for the various homes that she lived in throughout her lifetime. Walking also became a passion for Stella later in life and would be a frequent mall walker in Edmonton. In 1982, both Stella and Gaetano made the decision to open their own business, Grubisa Millwright Services Ltd. It was though this business that Stella developed a strong business acumen by supporting Gaetano to develop the Company. She took great pride in the support that she provided to Gaetano to develop the successful business by taking care of the front end while Gaetano took care of the back end. Stella loved to travel with her late husband Gaetano and was fortunate to visit many destinations in Canada by motorhome and by traveling abroad. In 2013, Stella and Gaetano moved to Kamloops to enjoy retirement and to also be closer to her family. Stella was a devoted and loving mother and grandmother. She took particular joy in watching her grandchildren’s extra-curricular activities and would be regularly seen in the local hockey/lacrosse rinks, dance studios, and volleyball gyms cheering her grandchildren on…a true ‘sports grandma’. Spending birthdays and holiday seasons with her grandchildren also held a special place in her heart. While living in the Sun Rivers neighborhood in Kamloops, one of her favorite hobbies was walking the neighborhood and collecting golf balls while enjoying the warm climate that Kamloops had to offer. In 2018, Stella moved to Kamloops Seniors Village and flourished in the facility by developing numerous friendships and would be regularly seen in the bistro having coffee and chatting with friends. Special thanks to the compassionate staff at Kamloops Seniors Village for the care and attention that they provided to Stella until her time of passing. Stella will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Mom. The funeral mass will be celebrated on Monday May 30, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. in St Thomas Moore Catholic Church, 210 Haddow close NW, Edmonton, AB. Internment will take place at the Holy Cross Cemetery Condolences may be expressed at SchoeningFuneralService.com

Linda Zylstra It is with great sadness that the family of Linda Zylstra announce her peaceful passing on May 15, 2022, at the age of 72. Linda is survived by her daughters Angela Zylstra of Kamloops and Sherry (Doug) Kristjanson of Kamloops, grandchildren Amanda (Patrick) Zylstra-Kristjanson, Sarah ( Kevin ) Brandt , Jessica (Casey) Collingridge, Great Grandchildren Zeppelin, Onyx and Stryker, brothers and sisters Sheila (John) Osborne, Denise Cleveland, Marlene (Rob) Landsburg, Ralph (Karin) Neil, sister-in-laws Ann Smallegange, Trinka (Peter) Jellema, Freda Zylstra, Weylla Vanteen, Margaret (Tom) Elliott, Nancy Banyai, and brother-in-law Mickey (Heidi) Zylstra.

Linda grew up on a farm with her three sisters and two brothers. At the age of 15 Linda met the love of her life Tom. Linda and Tom married in 1968 and welcomed their first daughter later that same year and their second daughter in 1971. It was in 1980 Linda and Tom took a leap of faith and moved out west in hopes of creating a better life for their family. Linda and Tom arrived in Kamloops on August 18, 1980. Within a year Linda’s three sisters joined her and their two brothers in Kamloops. Linda and Tom spent many years enjoying the great outdoors together and on February 14th, 1993, they purchased their little piece of paradise on Red Lake. Here they created many fond memories together. Linda spent 28 years as a dedicated employee at Zellers where she formed many friendships. Linda was well loved and will be greatly missed by us all, especially by her sister Sheila with whom she shared a special bond.

Myrna Gwendolyn (Gwen) McMaster (nee Burgess) May 13, 2022 -
Our family lost a true matriarch when Gwen: Mom: Grandma: Gigi: slipped away from us to join the others that passed before her. She left with a smile on her face, the taste of a Manhattan on her lips, and three generations by her side at Kamloops Hospice. Gwen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on September 10, 1938, as the middle child of five. She moved from the Prairies to the West Coast to be with her older sister Bev and her family in Delta, BC. It was there she met the love of her life, Dick. Together they raised their family of five settling in Burnaby, BC. In 1980 they relocated to the Interior of BC living out their golden years in Kamloops. Mom was the epitome of the classic housewife; chief cook and bottle washer, taxi driver, counselor, disciplinarian, nurse, and friend. She was a woman of strength, tradition and family values and a great example of the glue that holds the family unit together as one. She transitioned easily to the role of grandma who attended as many concerts, recitals, sporting events and graduations as humanly possible. As great grandma, Gigi maintained a youthful exuberance she seemed to absorb from the younger generation. On top of all that she was an organized and diligent business woman, running Surrey Lake Fishing Camp often single handedly, balancing the books to the penny, cleaning cabins and smoking fish. She had a passion for travel, seeing distant lands and accepting the diversity of the planet from its people, creatures, and landscapes. That travel bug was encouraged and passed down to the subsequent generations. It wouldn’t be fair not to acknowledge her role as partner, wife and best friend to her husband of 54 years, Dick. Her broken heart never completely healed over the five years since dad’s passing. Luckily her heart was always open to make room for all the latest additions of family and friends. Together Dick and Gwen’s union was the envy of many and forged the framework that became the gold standard for all those who knew them. She is survived by her five children, Doug (Nadene), Ron (Edwina), Greg, Kathleen (Bruce) and D’Arcy (Christa), and their respective families, fifteen grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and her sister, Joyce Baker. She was predeceased by her husband Dick, sisters Bev and Marlyn and her brother Dan. The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Kamloops Seniors Village and Kamloops Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Kamloops Hospice or Alzheimer's Society of B.C. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Jack Dolinar
July 21, 1939 - May 5, 2022 It is with profound sadness that the family of Jack Dolinar announces the passing of their beloved husband, father and grandfather on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at the age of 82 years in Kamloops, B.C. Jack was born on July 21, 1939 in Javorje, Slovenia to Martin and Marija Dolinar and was the youngest of 11 children. By the age of 18, Jack obtained his apprenticeship as a cabinet maker and came to Canada to pursue his dreams. He landed in Winnipeg, MB where he was employed as a cabinet maker at a local business. After braving the harsh winters for 8 years, Jack travelled west with a friend to Kamloops, BC where he began working at Nor-Val Industries as a cabinet maker. He then met the love of his life, Veronica, and they were married on January 14, 1967 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. They proudly raised a son and daughter and celebrated 55 years of marriage this year. After working at Nor-Val for 11 years, Jack started his own business making beautiful cabinetry for homes and businesses in and around the Kamloops area. In 1982, he was given the opportunity to be head carpenter at Royal Inland Hospital and accepted this position where he remained until his retirement in 2003. Jack was a very skilled and hard-working craftsman, whose finished products were well known throughout the region. After retirement, he continued to do small jobs and travelled to Slovenia with Veronica to visit their families and enjoy the beauty of the country. Jack enjoyed going for daily walks, sometimes two or three times a day and looked forward to talking with everyone along his routes. He was an avid fly fisherman and hunter who particularly enjoyed the Peterhope Lake and Jamieson Creek areas where many fond memories were made with family and friends. Jack had a real passion for hockey as he spent many years in numerous arenas watching his son play the game they loved. He was a dedicated season ticket holder for the Kamloops Blazers and always enjoyed his special seat at Memorial Arena. In his retirement, Jack continued to find himself in arenas but this time watching his two grandsons play hockey. Jack is survived by his wife Veronica, son Tony Dolinar (Michelle), daughter Majda Dolinar, grandsons Jacob and Matthew, and numerous relatives in Slovenia. The family would like to thank the staff at Overlander Extended Care Facility for their care and support of Jack over the past year. As per Jack’s request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com Our hearts still ache with sadness, and many tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain. To walk with us throughout our lives,until we meet again.
Jessie Jane Patricia Toews b: Vancouver, BC July 3, 1939 d: Kamloops, BC May 27, 2021
Dear momma, it's been a year since we lost you. David and I miss you everyday. I hope you have enjoyed the trips we've taken you on since you left! David took you to Hawaii and to the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, I took you to Mexico and Indonesia. Your ashes are travelling around in the Pacific, Caribbean and Indian Ocean! Not sure what David has planned next for you but I am planning to take you to Egypt (a wedding!), Turkey and the UK. I will also scatter ashes in London, where your mom lived. I'm also planning to take Julia to Costa Rica - show her where you taught in the early 60's I've been there and I know she will love it. We miss you so much, every day. With love, David and Deedee (and Stephanie, Chloe, Julia, Sienna, Darryl and Ryan).
Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near. May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of despair

Aquamation instead of cremation? DAVE EAGLES
STAFF REPORTER
dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com
Most people have probably never considered how decisions about their death could impact the planet. When faced with the death of a loved one, British Columbians can only choose between burial and fire cremation. A group in Kamloops is advocating change to provincial laws to include alkaline hydrolysis, also known as aquamation, as another choice. Transition Kamloops is an organization focused on increasing local resilience and self-sufficiency in food, water and energy, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Transition Kamloops has
joined the provincial efforts of the Aquamation BC Coalition for change to laws governing disposal of bodies. “Most of us don’t really think about this until we’re in a stressful situation,” Transition Kamloops organizer Gisela Ruckert told KTW. “That’s not the time when we’re going to make any changes.” That impact on the environment is what caught the attention of Transition Kamloops, which emphasizes a local economy, healthy ecosystems and grassroots community building, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Ruckert said that while the aquamation movement has been around B.C. for at least a decade, it’s just now gaining momentum. Aquamation is already
offered in Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland/Labrador and the Northwest Territories In B.C., aquamation is only available to be used with pets. “When you look at the bulge of Baby Boomers who are getting elderly, there is actually going to be quite a significant impact if we don’t give people lower carbon options,” Ruckert said. Cremation is believed to release about 10-million kilograms of carbon every year in B.C. — enough to drive a gaspowered vehicle 1,000 times around Earth’s equator. As an alternative to flamebased cremation and burial, aquamation is a process that uses heat and a solution of 95 per cent water and five per cent alkali (potassium hydroxide)
don't stop Believing That you can make a difference
THEFATHERSDAYRUN.CA
to reduce all organic material, leaving only skeletal remains. Ruckert said changes would need to be made to the provincial Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act to allow for aquamation to be a third option. “There are two options for legalization,” Ruckert said. “A small housekeeping change in adding a definition to the existing regulations that cover cremation (an order in council) or legislation, changing the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act.” Ruckert said she hopes the B.C. government chooses the first, less costly option to make the change, as Saskatchewan has done. For more information on the Aquamation BC Coalition, go online to aquamationbc.ca.
• To begin the process for human disposition, the deceased is placed into a stainless steel vessel, to which an alkali solution is added. • The process works by slowly circulating a heated solution of 95 per cent water and five per cent alkali around the body for an extended period of time. • Alkaline hydrolysis is a proven sterilization technology in which all pathogens are destroyed, as well as all chemotherapy and embalming agents (if present in the body). • Any mercury in the amalgam of the teeth (from dental fillings) is not vapourized through this process as it is with flame cremation. • The dental fillings remain unaltered and are safely recycled to prevent release to the environment. • All that remains at the end of the process are the final bone remains and any medical implants. • The medical implants are clean and ready for recycling. • Just as with flame-cremation, the final bone remains are processed into a fine powdered ash for return to the family in an urn.

Riversong’s latest guitar model pays tribute to Valleyview SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
The latest guitar model from Riversong Guitars was built using techniques patented by the local shop — and it bears a local name, too. The Glennwood guitar was named after Glenwood Drive in Valleyview, where the home of Riversong Guitars owner Mike Miltimore also served as a guitar workshop. Miltimore said the guitar uses a special aging process called torrefaction, in which the wood used to construct the guitar is repeatedly heated, dried out and rehumidified. “They go from being this blond colour to a caramel colour and they smell amazing. The wood also becomes electrostatic and sticks to everything,” he said. The wood processing for the latest model, done by a company in Quebec, turns B.C. Sitka spruce into something akin to driftwood. Miltimore said he chose the wood for its
tonal qualities. “It’s kind of like the perfect blend between mahogany and maple for sound,” he said. The Glennwood, which retails for US$1,999 on the company’s website, also uses a patented construction design featuring what Miltimore calls a double reaction bridge. “The bridge isn’t just glued to the top, it actually goes through the top and makes contact with the underside where all the bracing and the structure is,” he said. That feature, Miltimore said, is unique to Riversong and patented. The shop has fared well during the pandemic, especially in the early days, when most companies were cancelling supply orders due to the economic uncertainty of the situation. But Miltimore steamed ahead and kept producing guitars. Riversong Guitars is currently out of some models, but more are set to arrive soon. Its custom shop is also backed up, but Miltimore considers that
a good problem, showing strong demand. Despite building through the pandemic, Miltimore said staffing has been a concern, with guitar-building talent hard to find. But the shop’s guitars are still popping up across the world, landing in the hands of artists like Jim Cuddy, Trace Adkins, Eric Church and Paul McCartney. Recently, Miltimore said spotted the guitar in the hands of comedian J.R. Guzman, who combines music and stand-up comedy and has been featured on Netflix, Comedy Central and NBC. “He’s a pretty funny comedian and he’s playing our guitars. We’re hoping they’re going to be used on his Netflix special,” he said. Riversong has also paired up with Priscilla Block, who exploded during the pandemic via social media platform TikTok, and is now a touring musician — sporting a custom blue sparkling Riversong Guitar on stage.

Forever faithful, Yellowstone National Park JANE CASSIE
SPECIAL TO KTW
Y
ellowstone. It has been America’s granddaddy national park since March 1, 1872, and it’s one that takes me back to my childhood. Grizzlies, geysers, gushers, oh my! After two days of travelling from British Columbia, we’re here. And we’re blown away (no pun intended) by the magnitude of this recreation playground. The encompassing 2.2 million acres (comparable in size to Metro Vancouver) is primarily composed of forested, volcanic plateaus that have been eroded by glaciations and steam flow over the millennia. It is home to more than 10,000 thermal features, 300 geysers, 290 waterfalls, 285 types of birds and 67 mammal species, including bears. These furry fellows are the first attraction we see after driving though the park’s west entrance. A crowd of lookie-loos are vying for a photo opp as two roly-poly cubs lumber across the road. Mom isn’t far behind. People come in droves each year to experience all the “wows” at Yellowstone and we’re
just as eager as the next one in line. The park is divided into five sections, each that offers lodging, dining and shops. There are a total of 12 campgrounds; seven first come-first serve and five that permit reservations (up to one year in advance). If you haven’t prebooked, “early bird gets the worm” is a good motto to follow. At the junction of the Grand Loop and Mammoth Hot Springs Drive, we pull into Norris, hosting 100 or more sites within its forest of lodgepole pine. Before we even have time to set up, Mother Nature is putting on a show. Billowy grasslands, scored by the adjacent Gibbon River, sprawl out beyond our firepit. Hawks swoop above the golden maze, waterfowl waddle along the shorelines and the biggest, hairiest bison I’ve ever seen (not that I can recall seeing any) grazes peacefully in the distance. At the turn of the 20th century, these buffalolike creatures were nearly extinct. We’ve read that they’re a dime a dozen at Yellowstone. In fact, it is the only place in the lower 48 states where there have been continuously freeranging bison since prehistoric times. Because of

their sheer physical size, the population of these beasts increase each year in Yellowstone. They can weigh over 900 kilograms and travel faster than 50 kilometres per hour. “Did you know these brutes cause more human injuries than all other wildlife combined in park?” I say to my travelling companion, as we pass a herd while driving to Mammoth Hot Springs the next day. “If we don’t bug them,
they won’t gore us,” he reassures me. It’s true. Although tourists are anxious to get close to the wildlife, this safari-like setting provides ample pullouts, so shutterbugs can snap and shoot from the safety of their vehicle. Over the next six hours, we skirt massive mountains, bisect golden plains, slice through charred and new-growth timber and navigate amazing passes.
As well as steamy geysers at Norris Basin, we check out the million-plus year-old Sheepeater Cliff Columns — magnificent basalt formations that look like massive granite fence posts, a 50-million-year-old petrified tree and the lavagouged Calcite Canyon. As well, we visit the centrally-located Mammoth Hot Springs where spewing calcium and travertine have shaped and beautified the terraces of soft stone. From the boardwalk that trails down to the village centre, we have a perfect view of this beautiful spectacle, even though it does smell like rotten eggs. During the final three days at Yellowstone, we re-locate twice, first to Bridge Bay, located 50 kilometres from the park’s east entrance. Here, we are privy to spectacular views of the lake and an the Absaroka Range as a backdrop.
Then, to Grant Village at the south end of Yellowstone Lake, where we are cocooned in a grove of pine. From each outdoor haven, we are able to take in more of the motherlode this recreation king has to offer. A visit to Yellowstone National Park would not be complete without seeing its main attraction. Discovered in 1870 by the Washburn Expedition, this famous geyser was named for its frequent eruptions and has spewed more than a million times since the park first opened. And just like clockwork, as we wait with cameras focused, it doesn’t let us down. Old Faithful lives up to its name and erupts again.

Young Artists Conference celebrates student creativity
T
he School District 73 2022 Young Artists Conference saw more than 120 students from grades 4 to 7 selected to represent their schools. A selection committee recently reviewed a variety of two-dimensional artwork and chose students’ submissions to be framed and hung in the school board office in the next year. Kamloops This Week will regularly present some of this year’s submissions on this page and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.
Creations from School District 73’s Young Artists Conference were on display at the Old Courthouse Gallery downtown until May 7. DAVE EAGLES/KTW Mehar Ganghas, a Grade 4 McGowan Park elementary student created this vivid watercolour painting entitled Watercolor Garden. Mehar used liquid watercolour, painting with Q-tips. Mehar chose watercolour paper, using Sharpies and salt to create the special effect.
Elanie Ruberg received Honourable Mention for her water colour painting of a cat. The Grade 6 student at McGowan Park elementary said she loves painting animals and the way watercolours blend easily. Elanie said she would like to follow in her mother’s artistic footsteps. Brooklyn Fantuz, a Grade 5 student at Rayleigh elementary, created this handsome portrait of her bulldog. Brooklyn explains, “I like art because it brings me joy and makes my days better. I painted my dog Frankie with the background with different colours because my bulldog Frankie inspires me every day. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t take a picture of her. This painting of Frankie created a bond that will last forever in my heart. I love Frankie, she’s my BFF."

FAITH
The freedom to be visibly religious
T
here appears to be a world-wide element trying to remove expressions of religious faith from public view. Some have even felt the need to make the physical expressions of faith illegal, potentially subjecting individuals to personal and financial penalties or even imprisonment (see Quebec’s Bill 21, recent legislation in Sweden and India and some of Marie Le Pen’s recent proposals in France). Granted, no religious expression should cause people to feel unsafe. I understand people have been oppressed by those claiming religiosity and, as a result, some symbols of religious faith might evoke painful memories. Our hearts should surely ache for those people. But to suggest that viewable, religious symbols — say, the wearing of the hijab or even an eagle feather in the hair — are a threat to civil Canadian society is gross exaggeration, secular extremism and most likely represents the self-serving, political ambitions of a very few. Freedom of expression and freedom of religion are inseparable. It is impossible to claim a belief in freedom of expression while limiting sincere, religious expression. Physical expression of faith is at the core of most religious practices, whether through symbols or ceremony. Curtailing religious expression is a personal assault of the most profound nature because it strikes at the deepest core of many people’s identity — what they believe and what that belief encourages them to be. To most religious people, faith-based symbols are a reminder of something more important than themselves; that is, a divinity that is concerned about them and the way they behave. When symbols remind people of their accountability to a higher power, they tend to think about the consequences of their actions and to act thoughtfully. In short, symbols can reinforce moral behaviour. The Jewish skull cap, or kippah, helps the Jew remember humility, while the Sikh turban recollects a commitment to personal standards.

FAITH
To the non-believer, rather than causing feelings of being threatened, these visible symbols should communicate feelings of peace and safety because the symbols let others know the person wearing them believes in self-examination and self-discipline. Physical religious expressions can also convey concepts of hope for all. Think of the Christmas star as a light in the dark or the multireligious dove as a symbol of peace. There is nothing more hopeful than to believe that, despite the rotten things that happen in this life, ultimately there is a force that can make things turn out alright. Hope is the source of all action; we do nothing unless we have a hope for a positive outcome. The believer bases daily activities on a foundation of some day seeing a better future, whether in this life or the next, and realizes this positive outcome is partly dependent on self-regulation and efforts to improve the conditions of people around them. (I have yet to study a religion that is entirely based on selfishness). Thus, religion and its expression can be a great source of positivity. Elder Ronald B. Rasband, speaking of religious freedom recently, stated, “If religion is not there to help with shaping character and mediating hard times, who will be? Who will teach honesty, gratitude, forgiveness and patience? Who will exhibit charity, compassion and kindness for the forgotten and the downtrodden? Who will embrace those who are different yet deserving, as are all of God’s children? Who will open their

arms to those in need and seek no recompense? Who will reverence peace and obedience to laws greater than the trends of the day?” Are there secular-based agencies that foster the above qualities? Absolutely, but I suggest no other organizations seek to foster those individual strengths so persistently as religious organizations. Are there religious leaders who oppress and foster conflict? Yes, but the huge majority — the vast community of believers — are peaceful, discipline themselves, oppose tyranny and look outward to help and strengthen others. Although definitely having strong views in favour of his own faith, Joseph Smith, first president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, once said, “I am bold to declare before heaven that I am just as ready to die in defending the rights of a Presbyterian, a Baptist or a good man of any
other denomination; for the same principle which would trample upon the rights of the … [Latter-Day] Saints would trample upon the rights of the Roman Catholics or of any other denomination who may be unpopular and too weak to defend themselves. It is a love of liberty [that] inspires my soul — civil and religious liberty to the whole of the human race.” Rather than being repressed, religious expression should be defended. In fact, the religious and non-religious should all celebrate the fact our society can encompass the religiously faithful. John Franks is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
WORD SCRAMBLE Rearrange the letters to spell something pertaining to cycling.
