Firefighters gain control of Dewdrop fire ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A wildfire 12 kilometres west of Kamloops is on its way to containment after devouring 156 hectares of land in the Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area. The B.C. Wildfire Service had begun to gain control of the Dewdrop Trail fire by Wednesday morning, a blaze that started as a controlled burn on June 16. “The B.C. Wildfire Service is continuing to implement a full response to the wildfire out in the Dewdrop area,” said fire information officer Justine Hunse on Wednesday. “Our ground crews have been making significant progress on shoring up containment on the fire. We can now say that it’s 50 per cent contained.” The B.C. Wildfire Service revised the size of the fire Wednesday morning, after crews were able to get GPS readings on the ground and map the fire. Tuesday’s estimation that the fire was 260 hectares in size was revised by more than 100 hectares to 156 hectares. Hunse said 20 firefighters worked through the night Tuesday and into Wednesday morning, when 65 firefighters were on scene. The service also has two support staff and two water tenders — water trucks — working the blaze and expected to call in air support as necessary Wednesday. The Dewdrop fire grew significantly on Tuesday morning, prompting a traffic diversion on Frederick Road that lasted into the afternoon. The blaze began as a controlled burn on June 16, following a much

smaller wildfire that is believed to have been human-caused. Hunse said there are currently no threats to public safety or structures, with the nearest structures roughly five kilometres away from the blaze. Despite the size revision Wednesday, the blaze is still significant in size and is the largest fire currently burning in the Kamloops Fire Centre. Across the centre, fire-danger ratings range between high and extreme. The City of Kamloops falls into a pocket of extreme danger, Hunse said. The Kamloops Fire Centre covers a huge area, from Blue River in the north to the U.S. border in the south and from Bridge River in the west to the Monashee Mountains in the east. The numbers this wildfire season aren’t that far off those from 2016. There are nine active fires in the Kamloops Fire Centre and officials have responded to 43 fires so far this year, which have burned a total of 135 hectares. The Dewdrop fire is not included in those statistics. “In comparison to date from last year, we had 73 fires to date, which had burned 212 hectares,” Hunse said. Despite the extreme danger, it appears campers might still have the opportunity to roast marshmallows and hot dogs over an open flame for the Canada Day long weekend. But that may change in the days ahead. “At this time, campfires within the Kamloops Fire Centre are still permitted,” Hunse said. Up-to-date prohibitions can be found by going online to bcwildfires. ca.

Voters will go to the polls on Sept. 30 MAYOR’S SEAT, TWO COUNCILLOR POSITIONS TO BE FILLED IN $120K BYELECTION ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The race to replace Mayor Peter Milobar and at least two members of city council will come to an end on Sept. 30. In a narrow 4-3 vote on Tuesday, council chose an election date two weeks later than that favoured by mayoral candidate and sitting councillor Ken Christian and fellow challenger Cindy Ross Friedman. Christian argued council should opt for a Sept. 16 vote, noting departing councillor Marg Spina’s arguments that city business is being help up by empty council seats. “It’s not simply about the meetings and the opportunity that we have

on Tuesdays, it’s about all the other work that needs to get done in the City of Kamloops,” he said, arguing the earlier vote would get new councillors up to speed that much faster. With the current timeline, a new mayor and councillors will be sworn in on Oct. 14 at the earliest. Candidates will seek to replace Spina, who is leaving due health issues; Milobar, who won a seat in the legislature for the B.C. Liberals in KamloopsNorth Thompson; and Christian, who must resign to seek the mayor’s seat. All three will resign as of June 30. Coun. Pat Wallace is concerned an unstable

situation in Victoria could lead to more vacancies at city hall if a new provincial election is called and Coun. Donovan Cavers is once again tasked with

running for the B.C. Green Party. “I think we need more concern over city decisions than five people,” she said, arguing a Sept. 16 date could shore up the benches. But, Coun. Tina Lange countered that speed might not be in the best interests of democracy, since it would push campaigning into the summer months. “Nobody pays attention to anything in August except getting out to the lake and getting a few more days of fishing and getting the kids back to school,” she said, noting byelection turnouts are typically low, with 10 per cent participation or less. Polling stations from the 2014 campaign to

get the axe include R.L. Clemitson elementary, Arthur Hatton elementary, Heritage House, Sahali Mall and Royal Inland Hospital. Lange, along with Cavers, Coun. Denis Walsh and Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh, prevailed in the vote, with all four favouring the Sept. 30 date, which was also recommended by staff. On another recommendation from staff, council agreed to cut the number of polling stations by four for the byelection, then chopped another on its own to add a third day of advanced voting. The byelection will cost the city about $120,000. A chief electoral officer will be appointed on July 4.

SENIORS DAY

As far as crimes go, this one stunk — literally. A 28-year-old man from Kamloops is facing various charges after being caught hiding in a porta-potty on a Juniper Ridge construction site in the wee hours of Monday morning. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police were called at 4 a.m. to investigate a report of suspicious activity on the construction site.

A resident heard noises coming from the site and saw two men who appeared to be hiding behind trucks. When Mounties arrived, they found two jerry cans underneath a truck, with fuel flowing from the truck and onto the ground. Officers searched the site and saw the door to the portapotty was locked, with the “occupied” sign activated. An officer pulled open the

door and found a man hiding inside. The suspect was arrested and taken into custody, with his clothing smelling strongly of gasoline. It was also discovered he had a warrant for his arrest and had breached a condition of his probation by being out at 4 a.m. Police have recommended charges of trespass at night, theft and breach of probation.

Drive-thru order to court A Chase man is likely wishing he had ignored his rumbling tummy and bypassed a fast-food stop. A 29-year-old from the Shuswap community is again without wheels after being caught driving while prohibited, while having an open beer next him, while also talking on a cellphone.

McDonald’s restaurant called police to report seeing an open container of beer in the console of a vehicle in the drive-thru. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an officer was in the area and parked nearby, waiting for the driver to leave the drive-thru lane. “When the vehicle pulled away from the drive-thru, the officer noted that the driver was on his cellphone,” Shelkie said. “After the vehicle was

stopped, the driver admitted that he was a prohibited driver and had just been to court regarding those charges.” The driver was served an appearance notice to go to court in August to answer to driving while prohibited. The vehicle, which did not belong to him, was impounded for seven days. He was also handed a ticket for having open liquor in a vehicle and using an electronic device.

Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding a teenager reported missing. Sixteen-year-old Ashleigh Hillary was reported missing from the North Shore on Monday, June 26, but police say she could be anywhere in Kamloops. Hillary, who also goes by the name Ash-Lee Tress, is originally from Golden and could be attempting to travel to the community four hours east of Kamloops. She is white, stands 5-foot-2, weighs 120 pounds, has long brown hair and is likely wearing skinny jeans. Anybody who sees Hillary is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Truck tiff on highway A semi-truck driver from Salmon Arm is facing charges of assault and dangerous driving in connection to an incident on Sunday that began in Kamloops and continued south on the Coquihalla Highway. “It sounds like the incident had started in Kamloops between a tow truck driver and a semi-truck driver,” Merritt RCMP Const. Tracy Dunsmore said. “I’m not sure what the original complaint was.” Dunsmore said the 62-year-old driver of

the semi-truck was at a brake check area between Kamloops and Merritt at about 8:30 p.m. when the tow truck driver allegedly drove in to confront him about the earlier incident. “The semi-truck driver kicked him in the face and assaulted him, and then took off,” Dunsmore said of the allegations.

She said the semitruck driver also allegedly smashed his rig into another semi-truck while leaving the brake check area. That vehicle was parked and no one was in it at the time, Dunsmore said. The tow truck driver, who is from Hope, called Merritt Mounties, who found the truck and pulled it over. The semi-truck driver was arrested on the Coquihalla Highway south of Merritt without incident, said Dunsmore.

B.C. recreational property market shows rebound MEDIAN PRICE OF WATERFRONT SHUSWAP SITES HAVE JUMPED TO $520,000 FROM $372,000 OVER ONE YEAR

B.C.’s recreational property market has bounced back after a dip caused by last year’s imposition of a foreign buyers’ tax on the Metro Vancouver market, according to a new report by real estate company Royal LePage. The Lower Mainland real estate market has influenced pricing and sales of many of the province’s recreational markets, as prospective buyers consider “cashing out” their rapidly rising home equity and moving to a more relaxed location. Metro Vancouver residents have traditionally looked to recreational properties in the Okanagan and Fraser Valley, but now it’s Fraser Valley residents and others who are selling and heading for Vancouver Island, the Cariboo, Kootenays, Gulf Islands and other locations around B.C. “As price appreciation across Greater Vancouver resumes its previous pace from a year ago, and homeowners accumulate more wealth, many prospective buyers have decided to forgo upsizing within the highly competitive Vancouver marketplace, electing to instead push outwards in search of recreational property,” said Jim Morris, Royal LePage manager for Western Canada. “We are back to where we were a year ago, seeing a significant increase in prices across all product types.” With affordability of all kinds of real estate an issue, interest is picking up in fractional ownership and micro-condos for those who can’t

afford the price of a full property. As of May 2017, the aggregate price of a recreational property in B.C. was $595,077, the report says. U.S. demand remains strong with the relatively low Canadian dollar. The 2017 Royal LePage Canadian Recreational Housing Report contains regional breakdowns for locations including 100 Mile House, Comox Valley, Mount Washington, Cranbrook, Kimberly, the Okanagan, Gulf Islands and the Sunshine Coast. The full report is available on the company’s website at royallepage.ca. Meanwhile, Re/Max released its 2017 Recreational Property Report this week. Its key findings include: • 46 per cent of British Columbians feel that high housing prices in their primary housing market will discourage them from

purchasing a recreational property in addition to owning a primary residence; • Nearly one in three British Columbians (32 per cent) would consider buying with a family member in order to help finance recreational property ownership; • Over a quarter of Canadians (28 per cent) with children under the age of 18 would consider selling their primary residence in the city in which they live to help finance the purchase of a cottage or cabin; • Young families are fuelling demand: 73 per cent of regions surveyed reported that young families with children drive demand for recreational properties; • Buyers are increasingly selling their homes in Canada’s two largest urban centres and using the equity from the sale to purchase a cottage, cabin or ski chalet; • Almost two-thirds (65 per cent) of Canadian millennials (18 to 34 years old) would consider buying a recreational property in the next 10 years. The Re/Max report noted the median price of a ski-in property at Sun Peaks was $310,500 in 2016/2017, compared to $259,000 in 2015/2016, with 160 sales in 2016/2017 compared to 123 sales in 2015/2016. The median price of a waterfront Shuswap property was $520,000 in 2016/2017, compared to $372,000 in 2015/2016. The median price for a non-waterfront Shuswap property was $300,000 in 2016/2017, compared to $290,000 in 2015/2016. The Re/Max report is available online at tinyurl.com/ycx9zamo.

Daily News building. “On projects like this we’re going to find stuff we didn’t think was there when we start digging,” said capital projects manager Darren Crundwell. While the city has found some plans for the site, Crundwell said they weren’t available at the time the city purchased the lot from Glacier Media for $4.8 million in 2014 — something he said is common with older sites. One unexpected complication has already surfaced. Crundwell said plans the city was able to track down show there are two foundations from demolished buildings on the property, the outlines of which are actually visible in satellite photos of the site at the

corner of Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, such as those on Google Earth. “We know we’re going to have to remove some of them, but not all of them,” he said. “We’ll see how deep they go, but until we rip up the parking lot we won’t know.” The city is budgeting about $200,000 to deal with other unexpected issues that may emerge when the former newspaper headquarters comes down. A $500,000 contract with Dakota Reclamators Inc. to demolish the building met with approval from council Tuesday on a 5-2 vote, with councillors Donovan Cavers and Denis Walsh opposed. An interim parking lot of 170 stalls will be

constructed with inhouse labour, at a cost of $300,000. The total cost to take down the building and create a new lot is just over $1.1 million. Public works director Jen Fretz told council the price for demolishing the building was lower than staff had estimated, because Dakota is able to grind the building’s cement into fill onsite, which can be used to fill the hole it will leave behind, eliminating the cost of trucking away the debris and bringing in new fill. While asbestos was found in the building’s ceiling, floor tiles and boiler, Crundwell said there was less contaminated material than initially anticipated. — Andrea Klassen, KTW

MUSICAL MINDS MERGE STAFF REPORTER

He was still learning the chords, but when it came time to sing, Ricky Porter didn’t need a lyrics sheet to nail the words to Let it Be, the hit song by the Beatles. “I like the singing,” said Porter, one of several clients at the Kamloops Brain Injury Association who took park in a ukulele workshop this week. Led by summer students hired by the Kamloops Music Collective, participants strummed their way through other classic hits — the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine and Elvis’s Can’t Help Falling in Love were also on the set list — learning major and minor chords and singing all the while. Instructor Evan Snee, who will also work as an assis-

tant leader at the collective’s Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music, said the ukulele is a great starter instrument because beginners can play plenty of familiar songs more easily than they would on guitar. “The ukulele’s like an easier version of the guitar,” he said. “The strings are easier to press down on and it’s not hard to make a good sound.” This week’s class was the last of three held at the association’s headquarters on Victoria Street. Instructors started simple in week one, with chords played with only one finger, and have slowly ramped up the difficulty each week. The focus on classic songs, however, has stayed the same. Snee said the rock tunes go over well with the room and tend to be easier to learn and grasp. There have also been chanc-

es to share stories and talk about the students’ lives. “Just spending time with them and getting to know them is great,” Snee said. Kim Mangan, executive director of the Kamloops Music Collective, said the program is one of a number of outreach activities the Collective is running in an effort to bring more music into the community. “We’re always looking for opportunities where people can be involved without having to be the maestro,” she said. The goal is to increase the awareness of music and its benefits and offer community service in the process. She also pointed to the ukulele as a great way to make those first musical connections. “The ukulele never sounds bad,” she said, adding with a laugh, “it’s not like the recorder.”

LATER DATE GOOD FOR BYELECTION

amloops council made a wise choice in following staff’s recommendation and opting for Sept. 30 as the byelection date, rather than the Sept. 16 option. Either way, turnout will resemble that of a crowd at a Toronto Argonauts’ game as the byelection to select a new mayor and two new councillors will remain more of a rumour than fact among the great unwashed. Such is the reality when voter turnout will be lucky to break 10 per cent. Evidently, Saturdays in late September are busy. Coun. Ken Christian preferred the Sept. 16 date, saying the city needs a full council sooner than later as there is much more to do than simply attend scheduled meetings. Yes, council members do much more than attend those meetings, but two weeks either way will change nothing in the scheme of things. (And, to be clear, Kamloops council can pass a bylaw tomorrow, reducing the size of council to six councillors and a mayor, which would be just one person more than now sits around the horseshoe at city hall.) In other words, as long as there are enough council members to form a quorum, things can get done. Smaller councils in larger cities than Kamloops prove it daily. By a 4-3 vote this week, council decided to set Sept. 30 as the byelection date. That date was preferred by city staff based on input from School District 73, the facilities of which will be used by the city as voting places in the $120,000 byelection. The later in September the better if the aim is to attract the electorate’s attention and get more people to fill out a ballot. Christian is correct when stating campaigning has already begun, but fellow Coun. Tina Lange is also spot-on when arguing that a date closer to summer holidays simply means more people will tune out to the one level of government that affects them most. Let the campaign begin.

Throwing billions around

he good news is it doesn’t matter much which party you vote for in the next B.C. election, which may arrive sooner than you think. They all want to spend billions more of your money, so really, the pressure’s off. After presenting a Throne Speech with a couple of dozen big spending items lifted from the NDP platform, Premier Christy Clark was as upbeat as ever. She’s keen to have her government hang on long enough to present the public accounts, the audited financial statements for the fiscal year that ended this past spring. Economic growth was “a full point” higher than private sector forecasts used by the finance ministry, Clark disclosed at a news conference in the legislature rose garden. This revenue windfall is mostly from urban incomes, sales taxes and Bill Vander Zalm’s gift that won’t stop giving — the property transfer tax, now with the foreign buyer luxury tax on top. Clark assured us the audited books will show there’s a “structural surplus,” the opposite of the dreaded structural deficit. And it’s enough for a $1-billion expansion of subsidized child care, more hip and knee surgeries and rail transit, not just to Maple Ridge and Langley, but in Victoria and even Squamish. And no more of those awful road tolls the B.C. Liberals insisted all through the election campaign were vital to maintaining the province’s AAA credit rating.

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA During that campaign, the B.C. Liberals warned Interior and Island folks that the NDP is going to make them help pay off the Port Mann Bridge and highway expansion, subsidizing the prosperous southwest while rural B.C. communities struggle for resource jobs. They listed the big projects that were built without tolls, a new Kelowna bridge and so on. They didn’t mention the Coquihalla Highway, but those of us who paid that $10 toll for 20 years haven’t forgotten. B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan sounds like the fiscally prudent one these days. A $10 day-care spot for every tot will take a decade to build and staff. Welfare rates can be increased by only $100 a month, such a modest sum that even the B.C. Liberals now approve. Much has been said in this space about the B.C. Greens’ proposed spending spree. While Horgan talks about the challenge in his home school district to find 300 more teachers for this fall, Green Leader

Andrew Weaver continues to boast he has found $4 billion more for education. Of course, he’s got to collapse the two biggest construction projects in Western Canada first, assuming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t send in soldiers (sorry, peacekeepers) to facilitate construction of his chosen oil pipeline. Weaver rushed up to validate Site C dam protesters again last week, touring the site and declaring a sweat lodge and burial site to be new revelations in this clean energy project. Concerned about rising costs, he picked an inflated number out of the air to calculate future power costs, while angling for new delays that would help produce cost overruns. Weaver wants to shut down, pay out and remediate Site C, laying off 2,000 people and flushing at least $3 billion with nothing to show for it. BC Hydro provided me with a summary of alterations for the suddenly discovered burial site (no actual evidence so far) and the suddenly built sweat lodge (road moved to accommodate it). The protest organizer, West Moberly Chief Roland Willson, doesn’t even have the strongest aboriginal title claim there. That would be the Doig River First Nation, which has gas pipeline and Crown forest agreements with the provincial government. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LET’S ALL SHARE THE PATH WITH COURTESY Editor: Re: Maureen Jackman’s letter of June 27 (‘It’s past time to license cyclists’): I agree that common courtesy and respect among road and multi-use path users should be the norm, not the exception. That means cyclists need to slow down and warn others as they pass from behind and walkers need to stay aware of what’s happening around them (including keeping their dogs close by). I’m a regular user of the Rivers Trail along Schubert Drive. When riding my bike, I ring my bell

KTW reader Paul Robson wants to know why areas of Peterson Creek Park have been ignored and left to the weeds.

SHAMEFUL NEGLECT OF PETERSON CREEK PARK Editor: Does anybody have an answer as to why the city has stopped taking care of Peterson Creek Park? I remember growing up and going there and it was pretty well maintained. I was there the other day to have a picnic with my kids. We went to what I remember as a well-maintained

grassy area with a few picnic tables and found it overgrown, with weeds everywhere. It is a complete mess. As you can see from the photo, you can’t get to the garbage cans or sit at the table due to the weeds. Why have we stopped taking care of a beautiful area in Kamloops? Paul Robson Kamloops

and call out “On your left!” as I’m coming up behind someone who is walking. As a walker and runner, I try to stay aware of my surroundings and keep to the side of the path so others can easily get around me. As a rule, most people using the path are friendly and courteous. Licensing cyclists is not a new idea. Unfortunately, it’s also not feasible, as many other cities have learned. Licensing bicycles would be virtually impossible to enforce. It would also create a barrier and extra expense to cycling — a viable means of transpor-

tation and recreation that’s good for our health and for the planet and something cities should be encouraging. The real solution to this problem is building complete streets with separated areas for people who are walking and in wheelchairs/ scooters, those who are riding bikes and vehicles. Until then, yes, let’s remember that no matter the mode of transportation, we’re all people. Let’s all be aware and courteous of one another and enjoy this wonderful path together. Kathy Sinclair Kamloops

KUDOS TO CITY AND SLR Editor: Kamloops City Hall and SLR Consulting did an excellent job on the honest evaluation of the proposed Ajax mine. The main opponents at the public meeting were a few intelligent doctors concerned

about pollution. Perhaps they should move to Batchelor Heights, where there will be clean air, less noise and a nice view of the river and valley. Janos Gore Cache Creek

SD73 priorities

In its final meeting of the year, the KamloopsThompson board of education listed new capital infrastructure priorities for coming years ahead, based on the provincial government’s direction regarding capital projects. This list includes an addition to Valleyview sec-

ondary ($21.8 million), an addition to Westmount elementary ($8.6 million) and a new elementary school in Pineview Valley ($18.1 million) as the district’s top priorities. Also listed is a new gymnasium at South Kamloops secondary ($17.2 million) and eventual replacement of the school ($52.7 million).

The district also requires upgrades to dust-collector systems at secondary schools to provide safer shop environments for students ($1.9 million) and replacement of seven school buses ($864,000). The district has also identified a boiler upgrade ($220,000) at Bert Edwards Science and Technology School.

Beth Morgan’s Grade 7 class at Beattie elementary was the top-scoring class in Kamloops — and in all of B.C. — in the Cool It Climate Challenge. The class celebrated its achievement on Monday with a pizza party in its classroom, joined by Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh. The students learned about climate change in a workshop led by the City of Kamloops’ sustainability educator Jaimi Garbutt. They then worked on reducing their families’ carbon footprint through a series of challenges over a four-week period. Students reduced greenhouse-gas emissions through eating local foods, turning down the thermostat, taking shorter showers and turning off the lights. The BC Sustainable Energy Association offers the Cool It program, called Climate Change Showdown in past years, to students in grades 4 through 7 throughout British Columbia. Since 2006, 70,000 students have participated. In Kamloops, the program is offered in partnership with the City of Kamloops. For information about the program, go online to bcsea.org/ cool-it.

pleaded guilty to drug and property charges on Wednesday. He was arrested alongside two others in connection to a May 2016 raid of a home in Batchelor Heights, where officers found drugs, money and a cache of firearms. Court heard police found more than

$8,000 worth of drugs and $3,700 in cash in Pace’s area of the home, as well as a .22-calibre rifle. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said Pace moved to Kamloops from the Lower Mainland to help the Wolf Pack — a coalition of gangsters from the Hells Angels, Independent Soldiers and Red Scorpions — set up a drug-traffick-

ing enterprise. “This was trafficking that was conducted in the context of a criminal organization coming into our city in order to conduct criminal business and bring hardship and pain to the people of Kamloops,” Currie said. “Mr. Pace was contributing to the Wolf Pack, who had come to this town for a specific purpose.”

Currie described Pace, who has no criminal record, as a midlevel dealer in the organization. He urged B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop to jail Pace for 18 to 24 months.

Defence lawyer Paul Ferguson called Pace “a runner” — a lowlevel street dealer — who was effectively a naive, young employee of the Wolf Pack. He suggested Hyslop impose a sentence of time served. Pace was arrested on May 26 and released on bail in December. “At this point, putting Mr. Pace back in

jail would be a misguided step,” Ferguson said. Pace’s arrest was part of a crackdown by Kamloops Mounties aimed at dismantling the local chapter of the Wolf Pack. Police said last year they conducted seven Wolf Pack-related raids in the first half of 2016. A date for Hyslop’s decision has yet to be set.

Councillors Dieter Dudy, Donovan Cavers and Denis Walsh will join councillors Tina Lange and Pat Wallace and Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh on the regional board of directors until the Sept. 30 city byelection. Following the vote, the three councillors and the city’s newly elected officials will be eligible for the seats, which are decided on by a vote of council. Lange, Singh and Wallace have been appointed to their TNRD seats through 2018. Councillors voted for the plan 6-1, with Cavers opposed. Cavers — who walked out of a 2015 council meeting when TNRD directors were last appointed, calling the process unfair — said he wanted to see all of the city’s TNRD seats up for reallocation. A seat on the TNRD brings an extra paycheque for councillors. Last year, councillors with permanent positions on the board earned between $11,000 and $14,600 for their participation, which is on top of the $33,000 they earned in 2016 for their councillor work.

City to look at more recycling drop sites CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Residents who want to recycle glass and plastics banished from their curbside bins could have more places to drop those materials off — but not before fall. At council’s Tuesday meeting, Coun. Donovan Cavers asked if the city could

set up a third collection site for the materials, which are not accepted under the city’s new partnership with Recycle BC. Cavers said the two existing collection points in Sahali and on the North Shore leave many residents with long drives if they want to recycle. “It’s not very convenient for residents in Dallas, Barnhartvale, Valleyview, Juniper, downtown,” he said.

Cavers said the city should also look at collecting materials at its landfills. Public works director Jen Fretz said her staff would look into the request, but noted it will likely have costs as the city would need to truck materials collected at the dump to a recycling processor. Councillors unanimously voted to have staff report back on adding new drop sites later this year.

Five Eyes share data to battle terrorist plots JIM BRONSKILL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Security and justice officials from the Five Eyes countries plan to explore “more timely and detailed’’ information sharing to detect terrorists and extremist fighters. The Islamic State and its affiliates will continue to attack soft targets in public spaces — underscoring a need for better data exchanges to address the threat, the partners said in a joint communique issued Wednesday. Attorneys general and ministers for public security and immigration from Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand gathered in Ottawa this week for two days of closed-door talks. “Throughout these discussions, we affirmed that building

public trust within our countries is required to move forward on national security issues,’’ the communique said. “Enhanced safeguards and greater efforts to promote transparency are critical in this respect.’’ The sessions followed a rash of deadly attacks in Britain that highlighted the international alliance’s concerns about the threat of homegrown extremism and the backlash it can provoke. The meetings also came as police in Ottawa busily stepped up security measures in anticipation of tens of thousands of people gathering this Saturday on Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. In order to help prevent “sophisticated and relentless plots,’’ the five countries affirmed the importance of sharing information among

partners on known criminal and terrorist actors, the communique said. Security officials are worried about the widespread availability of encryption tools and applications that can allow extremists to more easily communicate without their phone calls and texts being intercepted. Civil libertarians argue the right of lawabiding people to converse in private should not be compromised in the name of fighting terrorism by giving authorities the means to crack encryption or build back doors into security programs. In a statement, Australian Attorney General George Brandis said his country planned to lead a discussion at the meetings on the terrorist use of cyberspace. In its Wednesday communique, the alli-

ance said the ability of terrorists and other criminals to shield their electronic activities through encryption can “severely undermine public safety efforts by impeding lawful access to the content of communications.’’ They agreed to a common approach to engaging with communication service providers to deal with online terrorist activities and propaganda, while “upholding cybersecurity and individual rights and freedoms.’’ The countries also committed to support a new industry forum led by Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter. In addition, they plan to: • Look at the role of traditional and social media and community voices in fostering — or discouraging — the radicalization of young people; • Share ideas on

Accused was drinking pre-crash COLWOOD — A court has heard that the man who sped his truck through a red light and rammed an RCMP cruiser, killing the officer inside, had been drinking before the crash and was distraught over the recent suicide of a friend. Crown prosecutor Tim Stokes told Kenneth Fenton’s sentencing hearing that the man’s truck was going between 76 and 90 kilometres an hour when it entered the intersection and crashed into Const. Sarah Beckett’s vehicle in April 2016, in the Victoria

Const. Sarah Beckett was killed in April 2016 when a truck driven by Kenneth Fenton crashed into her cruiser on Vamcouver Island.

suburb of Langford. Stokes said Fenton’s truck was being followed by another

RCMP vehicle after that officer noticed the tail lights were out.

Stokes described the crash as an explosion of glass and smoke to a courtroom full where people were holding tissues and wiping away tears. Stokes said one witness at the accident scene said he heard Fenton say “one stupid decision.’’ Fenton pleaded guilty last month to charges of impaired driving and dangerous driving causing the death of Beckett, a mother of two boys who had recently returned the West Shore RCMP detachment from maternity leave.

Brig.-Gen.: Sniper shot saved lives OTTAWA — The deputy commander of Canadian special forces said the sniper who shattered the record for the longest confirmed kill also saved lives. Brig.-Gen. Peter Dawe told the Canadian Press that Islamic State fighters were gathering for an attack on an unsuspecting Iraqi military unit when the Canadian took

the 3.5-kilometre shot. The shot killed one fighter and sent the rest scattering for cover, effectively breaking up the attack. Dawe would not say much else about the shot, saying that to do so could endanger the lives of Canadian soldiers in Iraq. Reaction to the record-breaking shot has been mixed, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

saying it should be celebrated, while NDP Leader Tom Mulcair saying it proves Canadian troops in Iraq are in combat. Dawe said the sniper was operating within the mission parameters laid out by the federal government, which includes shooting to defend friendly forces when needed. — Canadian Press

In this column, Simon Kaltenrieder explains why archeologists seem so preoccupied by stone tools. Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region. A group of nine professional archeologists living and working in the area contribute columns to educate and fascinate. From writing about specific sites to the life of an archeologist, the columns uncover the complex past of the land on which we walk in the present.

Dig It: And it stoned them to their souls SIMON KALTENRIEDER

SPECIAL TO KTW

republicofarchaeology.ca

n our last column, Nola Markey and Brian Finlay discussed stone tools collected from the shores of Little Shuswap Lake. This collection included some tool types about which readers may already be familiar: arrowheads, spear points and scrapers. Why do archeologists seem preoccupied with stone tools? Stone tools are ubiquitous in the archeological sites in our region. First Nations peoples made a great variety of tools and equipment out of wood, bark, tree roots, mammal bones and antlers and many other organic materials. But many of the things people made in the past do not preserve well under most conditions. Commonly, organic artifacts

decay in the ground, so what’s left for us to find? Stone tools. Archeologists rely on stone tools to understand the precontact life of First Nations in the Kamloops area and beyond. The study of stone tools has been a fundamental part of the archeology of the B.C. Interior for over a century. Making tools from stone is difficult (I know, I’ve tried). You can’t make anything out of most kinds of stone (I’ve tried that, too). Only specific kinds of stone share the physical properties that allow them to be predictably shaped into usable tools. First Nations peoples in our region have known for many thousands of years where to acquire the best tool stones. One especially important source is located near Cache Creek, in the aptly named Arrowstone Hills.

Pebbles and cobbles of dacite, a fine-grained volcanic rock, were collected on a massive scale across an area of at least 100 square kilometres. Hand-dug pre-contact mining pits, still visible in parts of the site, testify to the importance and intensity of use of this resource. This prehistoric quarry was used for millennia. One of the challenges in the regional trade in tool stones was their weight. To keep loads manageable, people with access to tool stone sources would complete the preliminary preparation and shaping of stones into what archeologists call “blanks,” creating lighter and standardized trade items. These could be manufactured into a variety of different tools by their eventual owner. Archeologists have used a variety of techniques to match the

artifacts they find to particular tool stone sources. The recent development of portable X-ray fluorescence devices has allowed archeologists to confirm the geochemical fingerprint of both tool stone sources and artifacts and has led to a renewed interest in this kind of study. Archeological research shows the high-quality dacite tool stone collected and quarried from near Cache Creek was traded across the region and beyond — and this trade persisted over thousands of years. First Nations communities established an interconnected series of pedestrian trails and canoe routes that facilitated regional trade. These trade networks allowed access to important resources that were not locally available. Regional trade and exchange helped maintain social connec-

tions forged through kinship and marriage. Recent archeological excavations near Vancouver confirmed that Cache Creek dacite was traded down the Thompson and Fraser rivers all the way to the coast 5,000 years ago. So, if you discover stone tools while you enjoy the outdoors around Kamloops, please don’t collect them. Instead, consider that what you’ve found represents a very rare resource, a tool stone collected and carefully curated and traded across dozens or hundreds of kilometres. All that before it was carefully crafted into the tools you’ve discovered. Simon Kaltenrieder is an archeologist. Interested in more? Go online to republicofarchaeology.ca.

Museum strives for inclusivity amid Canada 150 SECWEPEMC DISPLAY REWORKED WITH HELP FROM GUEST CURATOR, FIRST NATIONS COMMUNITY MEMBERS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ania Willard did not partner with the Kamloops Museum and Archives to curate anything to do with Canada 150. “I came here to remount the Secwepemc display that involves more voices, more partnerships, more contemporary strategies,” she said. The Kamloops Museum and Archives received Canada 150 funding and has used it to ask questions about how to move forward. Riverpeoplenationstatepeople opens on Friday, marking a concerted effort to add, among other things, more voices to the building on Seymour Street. “We want to go forward presenting history in a way that’s as inclusive as we can possibly make it,” said museum curator Matt Macintosh. Museum supervisor Julia Cyr said the museum is intended to represent the entire community, but almost all of the collections are donated. “We’re reactivating these spaces,” she said. Willard said the former Secwepemc display had an anthropological tone that acted as an authoritative voice for Secwepemc people. Her goal was to contextualize the display. “The exhibit was speaking to the non-native community,” Willard said. Many changes have been made, including moving the display to the centre of the thirdfloor rotunda and branching other displays from it like spokes joining the hub of a wheel. She also worked with elders to incorporate Secwepemc language. Willard said museum visitors have become accustomed to looking at artifacts, especially First Nations items, without stories or people attached to them.

Honda Accord debut in July

Recognize hot weather risks this summer

s Kamloops residents know all too well, high temperatures can cause all sorts of damage to a vehicle, from zapping battery power to overtaxing the cooling system. Recognizing potential hot weather risks and performing routine checks on the vehicle are the keys to keeping vehicles in top form. When the weather warms up, many people take to the outdoors to enjoy the

sunshine and rising temperatures. Summer road trips or vacations are the norm, but it is important to realize hot weather can take its toll even on a new, wellmaintained vehicle.

Battery:

Excessive heat can shorten the life of a battery because it causes battery fluid to evaporate more quickly. This, in turn, can damage the internal structure of the battery. AAA reports that car-battery issues are the most common breakdown calls.

It’s a good idea to top off a battery with distilled water if it is the kind that requires it. Low-maintenance batteries may not have filler caps and will not require water. Inspect the battery for corrosion and leakage of battery acid. This could be a sign the battery is getting old and will need to be replaced.

Cooling system:

Cooling systems work hard to keep the flow of air to the engine and prevent it from overheating

during warm seasons. Compromised cooling fans or lack of coolant can be troublesome. To avoid overheating, check coolant levels before getting on the road. In addition, have the cooling system checked by a trained mechanic prior to the summer driving season. It’s a small price to pay to avoid extensive engine damage from overheating.

Tires:

Hot weather causes the pressure inside of tires to rise.

Overinflated tires can wear down prematurely or result in blowouts. Check pressure routinely in the summer, when tires are cold. Follow the guidelines in the owner’s manual for recommended pressure. Look for improper tread, weak spots or other tire damage that may end up causing flats.

Fluid levels:

Hot weather can put extra demand on all fluids and engine components. Check transmission fluid, power

steering fluid, brake fluid and engine oil levels. Top off or change when necessary.

Prepare for breakdowns:

Plan ahead for potential summer breakdowns by bringing along water, snacks, sunscreen and an emergency medical kit. Be sure cellphones are fully charged and that the number of a tow service or roadside assistance crew is entered into your list of contacts in the event of an emergency.

Honda has released a concept sketch highlighting the aggressive stance and proportion of the all-new 2018 Honda Accord that will make its global debut in Detroit and via YouTube Livestream (honda. us/2018AccordReveal) on July 14, at 8 a.m. Honda says the allnew Accord is the most dramatically styled Accord ever. Earlier this month, the company announced plans for a new Accord that will feature three powerful and fuel-efficient powertrains, including two new direct-injected and turbocharged engines paired to either a new Honda-developed 10-speed automatic transmission, CVT or a six-speed manual transmission depending upon engine, as well as the nextgeneration of Honda’s two-motor hybrid powertrain technology. Honda will share additional details of its powertrain performance, along with the new design and technology, at the event.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

IS THIS THE YEAR THE CANADA DAY CLASSIC CURSE ENDS? MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

D#5333

rayden Baker has never met a microphone he didn’t like — and this year he has something to sing about. The Kamloops Kal Tire RiverDogs, for whom Baker plays shortstop, are enjoying a resurgent campaign, no longer the rookie-ladened team that struggled to a 9-30 record in 2016. “Everything is different, it seems,” said Baker, one of eight second-year players who make up the core of the team. “We’re really hitting our stride as a team, clicking. Everybody is really coming together and the growth mindset really seems to be kicking in.” The 17th annual Daley and Company Canada Day Classic tournament gets underway on Friday and the midget AAA Dogs — 15-13 this year in BC Baseball College Prep League play — will bring momentum to Norbrock Stadium. Kamloops gleaned a 3-1 record from a pair of doubleheaders last weekend on McArthur Island, splitting with Ridge Meadows (17-11) and sweeping Richmond (16-10), both teams it is creeping up on in league standings. “This past weekend, we started getting the bat on the ball, which is something we’ve been struggling with, and scoring some runs, so, hopefully, we can carry that through the month,” RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler said. Cloverdale (24-2) is the class of the league, miles ahead in first place. Chilliwack (18-11) is in sec-

ond place, with Richmond, Ridge Meadows and Kamloops rounding out the top five. The RiverDogs were 7-19 at this time last year. “It’s nice to see the change in guys, more mature and more confident out there,” said Rhys McKenzie, a versatile thirdyear player. “It sure is nice. Last year, some weekends were disappointing.” Each year, the RiverDogs hold a press conference in the week leading up to the Canada Day Classic. Each year, they are asked about the curse. Kamloops won the tournament in its inaugural year and has not won it since, a 16-year drought that includes silver-medal finishes in 2008, 2011 and 2013. “It’d be pretty special if we did do it, but we’ve got to treat it game by game and see where the cards fall,” Wandler said. The RiverDogs will play in Pool A, alongside the Whalley Chiefs, South Jasper Place Blue Jays, Northwest Prairie Pirates of Lloydminster and Nanaimo Buccaneers. Comprising Pool B are the defending-champion Parkland Twins (formerly known as Spruce Grove), Red Deer Braves, Coquitlam Reds, North Delta Blue Jays and Ridge Meadows. North Delta, sixth in B.C. Junior Premier League standings, and Parkland, first in the Baseball Alberta Midget AAA Norwest

League, are among the tournament favourites. South Jasper Place and Northwest are making their Canada Day Classic debuts, replacing a pair of 2016 entrants that won’t play this year — the Okanagan A’s and White Rock Tritons. Another strong field will make breaking the curse a tall task, but Baker is looking forward to the challenge. “We try to say our opponent doesn’t really matter,” he said. “If we come together as a team, we can play with the best of them. There’s nobody we can’t take on.”

The RiverDogs’ draw:

vs. South Jasper Place, 7 p.m., Friday vs. Nanaimo, 3 p.m., Saturday vs. Whalley, 8:30 p.m., Saturday vs. Northwest, 6 p.m., Sunday — All games at Norbrock Stadium

The playoffs:

• Semifinals, 9 a.m., Monday, Canada Games Field and Norbrock Stadium • Final, 3 p.m., Monday, Norbrock Stadium

Hardball central:

McArthur Island will be a baseball hub this weekend. The Sussex All-Star AAA Tournament, which will feature about 30 teams from across the province, will be held in conjunction with the Canada Day Classic. “Kamloops has now established itself as the go-to spot in this province for July long weekend baseball, from 18-and-under right down to 11-and-under, and teams just clamour to get into this tournament,” Wandler said.

Dylan Kooistra of the Kamloops RiverDogs tracked this ball down to make a wonderful catch against Richmond on the weekend on McArthur Island. The Dogs are 15-13 in BC Baseball College Prep League play heading into the annual Daley and Company Canada Day Classic tournament, which gets underway on Friday and wraps up on Monday.

Rossworn emerging on national scene MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jayne Rossworn ate Catharine Pendrel’s dust, but still emerged in rarified air. The 31-year-old Kamloops resident finished second behind Pendrel at the Cross Country Olympic (XCO) Mountain Bike Canada Cup race in Whistler on Saturday, the last event on the circuit’s six-stop series that stretches across the country. Rossworn’s runnerup finish vaulted her up the overall standings, to second place from sixth, meaning she is the 2017 Canada Cup silver medallist despite missing two of the series events in Ontario. The Whistler Canada Cup doubled as the Cycling BC championships. Pendrel finished about nine minutes ahead of Rossworn, a whopping margin of victory, but the Olympic bronze medallist opted not to be eligible for the provincial

Jayne Rossworn of Kamloops placed second overall in the XCO Mountain Bike Canada Cup standings.

championship, so the up-and-coming rider was handed the B.C. elite women’s crown. “I got to battle it out with her [Pendrel] for about 30 seconds,” Rossworn said with a laugh. “She’s always giving other people chances, which is nice, but she did really win.” Rossworn is coached by Pendrel’s husband, Keith Wilson. “I’m really happy,” said Rossworn, a selfemployed lawyer. “It’s kind of surreal. I didn’t know what to expect. I don’t have the experi-

ence that some of the other people do, so you never know how it’s going to turn out.” Rossworn, a rookie on the Canada Cup circuit, began mountain biking competitively about five years ago, but didn’t start taking the cross-countryOlympic discipline seriously until last year. She finished the national series with 600 points, competing in one fewer event than Soren Meeuwisse, the Ontarian who took gold with 740 points. “There’s part of me

that kind of regrets not going out there [to Ontario for the Canada Cups] because I had a chance at taking the overall title,” Rossworn said, noting she instead opted to explore trails in B.C. The late bloomer has amassed enough Union Cycliste Internationale points to qualify to race on the World Cup circuit. She will jostle with top-class riders, including friend and training partner Pendrel, at the World Cup stop in Mont-Saint-Anne, Que., on Aug. 6. “In terms of doing my best race ever, it might not be a good opportunity for that,” said Rossworn, who will have a poor starting position due to her low world ranking. “But being surrounded by the world’s best and just having the opportunity to have that experience will be really cool.” One year ago, Rossworn would have been happy to finish in the top 10 at a Canada

Cup event, but she won gold at the circuit’s second stop in Mont Tremblant, Que., on May 27 and her goals changed. They are even loftier now, with growing aspirations for more World Cup experience. “There’s always more and that’s the good and the bad thing about pushing yourself in training is it’s never enough,” said Rossworn, who is from Armstrong, but moved to Kamloops six years ago. Next up for Rossworn are the

Canadian XCO Championships in Canmore, Alta., on July 22. Pendrel flew to Europe on Monday to prepare for the next two World Cup events — in Vallnord, Andorra, on July 2 and Lenzerheide, Switzerland, on July 9. Perhaps the local hero will be seeing more of her training partner in the years to come on the World Cup circuit. “All I want to do is just become a better rider and racing is a really good way to do

that,” Rossworn said. “I’ve been feeling really strong in training and every year I train I get stronger and stronger.”

Podium toppers

Two more Kamloops riders won gold at the Canada Cup event in Whistler. Paul Berry placed first among eight racers in the 50- to 59-yearold men’s division and Kristine Brynjolfson was first among two entrants in the 40- to 49-year-old women’s category.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Understanding Mortgage Closing Costs Many homebuyers are startled to learn that after they arrange their mortgage they have to pay a range of additional fees to finalize the transaction. These are some of the most common costs: Property transfer tax – Not applicable to first time home buyers or buyers of mobile homes on leased land. This tax is 1% of the first $200,000 and 2% of any amount over and above. Lawyer’s Fees – These vary depending on the service required, on whether you use a lawyer or a notary and on the agency. A rough quote could range between $950 and $1400 in Kamloops for a basic home purchase. Mortgage Appraisal Fees – Lenders often require an appraisal to establish the current market value of a property. The appraiser values the home based on recent comparable sales, and estimates the selling price if it had to sell in less than 90 days. Appraisal costs start around $300 and up. Title insurance – These items serve to protect the lender from improvements (think fences, shed or house) built accidentally on a neighbouring property, title fraud and other issues related to the property. Average costs $250 for a single detached home. Fire Insurance – Fire insurance is required by most lenders as a condition for funding a mortgage. Speak to a local insurance agency for rates, contents coverage options and more. Home Inspection – This is peace of mind protection for the buyer. It involves an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, and serves to educate the buyer about the home, issues arising and associated repair costs. This service starts at around $480 and up. Property Tax and Prepaid Utilities Adjustments – If the previous owner prepaid property taxes or other utilities, they will be added to the buyer’s costs on closing. Alternately, if the owner owes taxes or utilities, this amount will be added as a credit for the buyers at closing. Good budgeting starts with good information. Speak to me about your buying situation and avoid surprises.

SPORTS

Blazers select Swiss forward at CHL Import Draft up nine goals and 31 points in 41 games. He also played for Switzerland at

the Under-18 World Championship, finishing with a goal and two assists in five games. Czech Republic import Ondrej Vala, a 19-year-old defenceman who signed last year with the Dallas Stars, occupies the Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other European roster spot. Kamloops struck gold last year when it picked Latvian forward Rudolfs Balcers at the import draft. He was runner-up in the WHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rookie of the year category after leading all CHL rookies in goals, with 40, and finishing with 77 points. The 20-year-old forward was picked by the San Jose Sharks in the 2015 NHL Draft, but has not yet signed. Balcers will try to find a place with the Sharks for the 20172018 season, but if San Jose deems he is not ready to play pro hockey, he may return to Kamloops. The Blazers can carry only two Europeans and three 20-year-old players. Former Kamloops forward Hnat Domenichelli is Sigristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent. Sigristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Shannon, played for Switzerland at the 2016 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Hockey Championship in Kamloops.

Sin City bound

Dylan Ferguson was not with the Dallas Stars for long. The Stars picked the Kamloops Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goaltender in the seventh round, 194th overall, at the NHL Draft on the weekend. He was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night, along with a secondround pick in 2020, in exchange for defenceman Marc Methot.

The WHL has released its 2017-2018 regular-season schedule. For notes on the Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slate, which opens on Sept. 22 in Kelowna, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Kamloops will play host to Kelowna on Sept. 23.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Joshua Boarderman a.k.a. ASILOS

Robert (Bob) John Stewart March 11, 1947- June 13, 2017

It is with great sadness that Bob’s family announces his sudden passing on June 13, 2017 at the age of 70.

March 8, 1993 Summer Solstice 2017

Survived by those who loved him. His mom, brother, grandma, couple aunts, couple uncles, cousins, second cousins out there in the world and of course all of you he touched. May his death not be his true calling. He’s gone before he could bask in his shine. I’m sorry I lost you my son. My love couldn’t save you and tough love did no favours. Rest now, in peace.

Mom

Bob will be sadly missed by his three children Robert Stewart Jr., Carol DeFehr (Jeff) and Jaclyn Stewart (Mark Lamley). He leaves behind grandchildren that loved him dearly: Spencer ScherrerStewart (Kamloops), Taiya and Blake Stewart (Richmond), Payton DeFehr-Robb (Kamloops) and the most recent grandson of three weeks, Nolan Lamley (Vancouver). Bob will also be missed by former wives Donna and Tatiana. Bob is survived by his mother Alice Stewart and his siblings Alan (Janice) Stewart, Stanley Stewart all of Kamloops and Marianne Morton (Victoria). Fatherin-law Ralph Becker (Kamloops) will miss Bob’s visits. Nieces and nephews will also miss him. He was predeceased by his father Donald Stewart in 1983, grand-daughter Baby Cora Lamley in 2015, mother-in-law Erna

Becker in 2007 and brother-in-law Larry Morton in 1995. Bob was born in Mission, BC. He moved to Kamloops in 1967. After moving to Prince George and Port Moody for work, Kamloops eventually became home for good in 1980. He loved Shuswap Lake and was most proud of his contributions of expanding the Pete Martin Bay area. Bob loved cars and boats. He loved to wash them, polish them and drive them. He took pride in his yard no matter what the weather. His grass was always the greenest and most precisely manicured. Bob loved his canine buddies Tux and Chappa. His love of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Tic Tacs (which his father loved too) will forever be reminders for the family as some of his favourites. Bob was a great story teller and entertained his friends and family with his humorous tales. He loved living at Blind Bay, BC. A Celebration of his Life will be held with family and friends at a later date. Should friends desire, donations to the SPCA Kamloops or the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Bob’s memory would be appreciated.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

Celebration of Life Open House on Saturday, July 1, 2017 at 273 Alder Avenue, Logan Lake from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Daryll McMechan 1942 – 2017 Philip Daryll McMechan went peacefully to be with his Lord and Saviour on June 24, 2017 in Kamloops, BC at the age of 75 years surrounded by his wife and three sons. Daryll was born on April 25, 1942 in Vernon, BC to Harold and Gwen McMechan. He moved to Kamloops at the age of 20 and began a 35 year career with CP Rail, beginning as a brakeman and finishing as an engineer. Shortly after moving here he met Pauline, whom he would court for three years and eventually marry on April 30, 1966. They were blessed with three sons; however, after being married for 16 years, they separated in 1982. Five years later, God restored their marriage and they renewed their vows to each other on June 27, 1987. During the time that followed, Daryll grew passionate about helping other couples and together he and Pauline would become involved with Marriage Ministries International for 10 years. They celebrated their 50th Anniversary with family and friends in 2016. Daryll will be remembered as a quiet, gentle man with a big smile and laugh. He enjoyed model railroading and spending time with his grandchildren - getting beaten time after time at Dutch Blitz, watching their hockey games and other activities and traveling together in their motorhome. During the final years of his life, Daryll fought a courageous battle with respiratory illness – one he referred to as a “win-win” no matter the outcome. He won his battle when he breathed his last breath and entered into eternity. He is survived by his devoted wife of 51 years Pauline, his sister Colleen, his sons Duane, Craig and Jamie and by his grandchildren Jorde, Colton, Iryn and Ella, who knew him affectionately as “Papa”. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, July 4, 2017 at Full Gospel Tabernacle in Kamloops at 1:00 pm. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff at Royal Inland Hospital and all who were involved in his care over the final years of his life. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Tim 4:7, NKJV

Each family gets 13 months of telephone counselling care available 24/7 as often as they wish. If they have a celebration or service the attendees will be able to have three (3) months of the same counselling. We care about this community.

Donald Avery Tait November 2, 1929 – June 17, 2017

Don passed peacefully at home on June 17. He had wonderful support and palliative care from Island Health, Dr. Nel and Dr. Kisman of Highland Family Practice, Shoppers Drug Mart (Comox), and Hospice. Our heartfelt thanks go to all those kind, compassionate, skilled people who looked after him over the past 5 years. Don was raised in Port Dalhousie, Ont. where he attended school and completed an electrical apprenticeship. He actively participated in rowing with the St. Catharine’s Rowing club where his crew (lightweight 8’s) won 2 Canadian Henley medals.

Myrtle Jacqueline Work was born on November 22, 1931 in Vancouver, B.C and grew up in White Rock, BC. She was received into the Kingdom of God through the waters of Holy Baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Myrtle trained as a nurse in Victoria and worked in the Royal Jubilee Hospital. She met the love of her life Lawrence Nelson, a sailor in the Royal Canadian Navy, and they were married in February 1953. Together they shared 46 years of Holy Matrimony and were blessed with three boys John, Jim and Ray. They lived in Victoria where Larry was based and raised their family there. Later, they made their home in various places in the British Columbia Interior and on Vancouver Island. A consummate homemaker and mother, Myrtle sewed clothing and made quilts for her family, was a good cook and made preserves every year. She was blessed with a beautiful voice and loved to sing in choirs and as a soloist, often singing sacred pieces. In 1999, she became a widow upon the death of her husband Larry. She moved to Kamloops in 2004 buying a home in the Dallas area. She subsequently attended Lord of Life Lutheran Church and became a member by the rite of Profession of Christian Faith. She was active in the choir and a regular attendee of Bible Studies. Myrtle will be missed by her beloved children John and Daisy, Jim and Ray, along with fellow members of Lord of Life Lutheran Church and many friends.

Myrtle had a strong faith in her Saviour, Jesus Christ and was ready to “walk through the valley of the shadow of death” and so to “dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23) Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. A Memorial Service was held at Lord of Life Lutheran Church on Monday, June 26, 2017.

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord. We give thanks to God our Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord, for our dear sister in Christ, Myrtle Nelson. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
