Fourteen parks closed due to wildfire danger reopened at noon on Tuesday, but Kamloops’ firefighters are urging the public to take care when they head back into nature. Kamloops Fire Rescue closed the parks, which included Kenna Cartwright, the Kamloops Bike Ranch and Peterson Creek, earlier this month, saying it needed to focus resources during a period of intense fire danger. Chief Mike Adams said the wildfire situation is now stabilizing throughout the province “We feel much more comfortable there’s additional provincial resources available to us, should we have an unfortunate event in the city,” he said. Cooler weather over the weekend also played a role in the decision to reopen the parks, Adams said. While firefighting resources are not as stretched, Adams said fire danger ratings in the park remain high — as is typical for a Kamloops summer. “The threat of fire in a desert city is ever present,” he said. “So we do stress to the public to not drop our guard, dispose of smoking materials in a public receptacle and if you do see smoke or fire in any of the regions in the city to phone 911.” As well, Adams said residents should avoid parking or using gaspowered equipment in or near tall grasses.

Former interim dean suing TRU CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The former interim dean of Thompson Rivers University’s law school is seeking compensation from the university after being fired two years ago. Anne Pappas, 53, filed the suit in B.C. Supreme Court against TRU. She alleges the university terminated her employment while she was out of the country, at the start of a nine-month professionaldevelopment leave. She was hired in 2010 by TRU as a development and external-relations manager. She was later named assistant dean of TRU law school. After founding dean Chris Axworthy quit in 2013,

Pappas became temporary interim dean. Pappas is claiming TRU did not pay her adequate compensation when it terminated her employment. “The plaintiff was paid certain amounts to the date of termination, but no accounting was provided for the final payments by the defendant despite requests to do so,” the notice of civil claim states. Following her termination, Pappas was sued in B.C. Supreme Court by a former colleague, TRU law school professor Craig Jones, for defamation. Jones alleged Pappas spread false rumours that he was involved in a sexual relationship with another professor. Pappas did not file a defence to that lawsuit.

In an email message, Jones told KTW that Pappas was not served with the claim. “After a year, I decided not to renew the writ because I just couldn’t be bothered with pursuing it,” he said. As assistant dean, Pappas earned $95,000 annually, along with pension, 30 days’ extra vacation in addition to time off at Christmas and a 12-month paid “personal leave of absence” for each employment contract. She is seeking general and special damages, mental distress damages, aggravated and punitive damages. TRU has not yet filed a statement of defence. None of the allegations have been heard or proven in court.

TNRD PHOTO FROM VIDEO FOOTAGE

TNRD footage shows damage at Loon Lake from the Elephant Hill wildfire. While charred remains are evident across a wide area, there are striking scenes of where flames obliterated some structures, but did not touch nearby buildings. To watch video from the air and from the road, go online to www.kamloopsthisweek.com/fireloonlake.

Challenging days ahead for firefighters Devastation in Loon Lake is evident. A number of structures were lost to the flames. The community of 170 full-time residents and 200 part-time residents lost its volunteer fire hall, which is now the focus of a fundraising effort online at https://www.gofundme.com/loonlake-restoration.

SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Weather in the coming days has the BC Wildfire Service concerned about increased fire activity as hot and dry temperatures continue, with thunderstorms that may not be accompanied by rain, especially in the south of the province. Chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said it will be a challenging few days ahead, with lightning and winds of 30 to 40 km/h expected in most parts of the province, on top of the usual hot and dry temperatures sticking around throughout the week. The Elephant Hill fire burning near Ashcroft has already seen a significant increase in fire behaviour in recent days, according to Skrepnek. It has currently burned 61,500 hectares (which is the equivalent to twice the size of the City of Kamloops) and is 30 per cent contained. On Wednesday, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District issued an evacuation order for 15 properties northeast of Clinton as a result of increased activity on the fire. Evacuation orders remain for other areas

near Ashcroft and north of Cache Creek. The three fires burning near Little Fort an hour north of Kamloops on Highway 5 North total 3,607 hectares, though the largest fire there, a 3,035-hectare blaze near Dunn Lake, is 100 per cent contained and being held. The other two fires are classified as under control. A new fire was detected Wednesday afternoon northeast of Heffley Lake near Sun Peaks. As of KTW press time, the fire had grown to 0.7 hectares and is suspected to be lightning caused.

The BC Wildfire Service now has 4,500 personnel working under it. Among those are 2,000 contractors and 800 firefighters and specialists from out of province. Costs are now estimated at $145 million. The firefighting budget this year was set at $63 million. Robert Turner, assistant deputy manager of Emergency Management BC, said a total of 19,100 people are currently evacuated and 45,000 have registered with the Red Cross. Among those evacuated are the residents of Williams Lake, who still may have to wait a little longer to return home. The Wildwood and White Lake fires burning near the city are a combined 17,000 hectares. “Given that weather forecast, in terms of our recommendation, we’re definitely going to want to wait and see in terms of what these fires are going to do, how they’re going to react to this weather,” Skrepnek said.

Rapid access clinic opens its doors to opioid crisis SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Addiction workers used to have the luxury of time. Before the opioid crisis, those looking to kick their habit weren’t at such a serious risk of dying by overdose. According to Dr. Rob Baker, who has provided addiction services in Kamloops for decades, the appearance of fentanyl has changed the game. Now, an opportunity to beat an addiction is more important than ever and second chances don’t always arrive. “If people stumbled and didn’t have success on the first take, we would almost certainly get a second or even fourth try,” Baker said. The BC Coroners Service reports that illicit drug overdose deaths in Kamloops totalled 42 in 2016, a six-fold increase over the previous year. Through this year, there have been 16 such deaths in Kamloops alone, while the Interior Health region has seen the second-highest death rate from overdoses in the province this year. Baker said that he doesn’t expect the situation to get better, noting others expect it to get worse. To deal with the ongoing crisis, the Addiction Treatment Associates of Kamloops — which

“

The lack of payment isn’t going to stop anyone from getting in the door and getting the process started.

”

— DR. ROB BAKER, Addiction Treatment Associates of Kamloops

counts Baker and a roster of about 15, including physicians and psychiatrists — has created a rapidaccess clinic that helps people access addiction treatment as fast as possible, typically the same day they call. When those with addictions are in crisis and cross paths with police, paramedics, nurses, doctors or counsellors, Baker said that quick access is especially important. “There’s a window of opportunity and we have to seize that quickly because a week or two from now, that window may be closed again,” he said. Once a patient is working with the clinic, Baker said the immediate focus is on getting things stable and encouraging opiatereplacement therapy with a safer drug like Suboxone. “That’ll keep people alive. Then we’ll move on,” he said.

“Before I worry about painting the kitchen, I want to put the fire out in the backyard.” Baker said using drugs like Suboxone gives physicians time to explore other options, such as outpatient counselling, psychiatric follow-ups and treatment for infectious diseases like hepatitis C or HIV. Addiction-treatment institutions across the city and region — including hospital ERs, ASK Wellness, the RCMP and other emergency medical service workers — are already aware of the clinic and are referring people to it. The clinic offers access to those without medical coverage, pledging it will absorb the cost if coverage can’t be arranged. “The lack of payment isn’t going to stop anyone from getting in the door and getting the process started,” Baker said. The facility also offers its expertise to other health-care providers in the region, including doctors and emergency rooms in nearby communities who can contact the clinic’s on-call doctor seven days a week. The clinic’s first two weeks have been busy, with calls being fielded every day, according to Baker. The Rapid Access Addiction Clinic is at Victotria Street and Third Avenue downtown and can be reached by phone at 250-3742345 and by email at kamloopsraac@gmail.com.

ROAD REHAB IN THE HEAT

Work has begun on a $1-million project to upgrade Qu’Appelle Boulevard in Juniper Ridge. The city received two bids on the project, with the contract awarded to BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd., the low bidder, in the amount of $1.04 million. The Qu’Appelle Boulevard overlay project will include milling, paving, adjusting castings, replacing sidewalk, repairing curb and gutter and making minor pedestrian improvements from Highland Road to Omineca Drive. Updates on the progress of the project will be posted on the city’s website and social media accounts.

In fact, I was quite impressed with some of the people with whom I have been working.

One of the city’s newest hotels is hoping to break ground on additional buildings on the same property next year. Fairfield Inn & Suites opened in 2015 with 114 units in Aberdeen, at the intersection of Pacific Way and Hugh Allan Drive. General manager Steve Earl said preliminary design work is underway for what will be two more separate Marriott buildings on the large property. Together, the high-end Courtyard by Marriott — which would become one of the city’s premier hotels — and Town Place, a new extended stay concept, would add upwards of 200 new rooms. PHI Hotel Group is developing properties in Vernon and Hinton, pushing back the schedule in Kamloops. Zoning is in place, but design and other approvals are still required by the city. “It looks like the fall of 2018 [for construction,” Earl said. The former Home Hardware property is large and has room for four buildings. Earl said a trend in the accommodation industry is to locate multiple hotels, catering to different travellers, as part of a complex. Earl said demand comes from continued growth of the city and its tourism sector. Looking further ahead, concepts for a fourth building include potential for seniors’ housing.

Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said work has begun inside the building on property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, which was purchased by the city for $4.8 million after the daily newspaper folded in 2014. Crundwell said crews will spend two to three

A report to city council put the full time required to demolish the building, as well as the remaining foundations of some previously demolished properties that remain on the site, at about 12 weeks. The parking lot is expected to be ready by late fall, though paving will not be completed until spring of 2018.

Crown has Charged in connection to Sunday stabbing shooting file

Kaitaia Drobot is charged with aggravated assault in connection to an alleged stabbing in Westsyde on July 23.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It is now up to prosecutors to determine whether criminal charges are warranted for a Salmon Arm police officer who shot a robbery suspect two years ago. B.C.’s police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO), has passed its file on the July 3, 2015, incident to Crown counsel. “Pursuant to the Police Act, the (IIO) must refer a file to Crown counsel for con-

sideration of charges if the [IIO] identifies that an officer may have committed an offence under any enactment,” the agency said in a press release. If an IIO investigation results in the finding that no laws were broken, the file is not passed on to prosecutors. The shooting took place in Canoe, east of Salmon Arm, after reports of an armed robbery in Sicamous.

A Kamloops woman has been charged in connection to an alleged stabbing at a home in Westsyde on the weekend. Police were called to the home at about 2 a.m. on Sunday and arrived to find a man with what appeared to be stab wounds to his chest. Kaitaia Drobot, 19, was arrested at the scene. She was released on bail on Tuesday following a brief hearing in Kamloops provincial court. Court heard Drobot and her boyfriend, Christian Varty, were at a house party early Sunday morning when she is alleged to have picked up a knife and stabbed him in the chest in front of a number of witnesses. Varty remains in hospital, but is expected to recover. Drobot has no criminal record. She is due back in court on Aug. 14. The police investigation is ongoing.

2017-273 OCTANE LITE TOY HAULER

As summer temperatures increase, so does the risk of West Nile virus. Interior Health said the risk of getting West Nile virus is highest from the end of July through August. West Nile virus is a disease that is spread from infected corvid birds (crows, ravens, magpies and jays) to humans through mosquito bites. It was first detected in B.C. in the south Okanagan during the summer of 2009. Since then, there have been four human cases — all in the Okanagan. Last year, the virus was detected in horses and birds in the Kootenays. Several parts of Canada and the U.S. continue to report West Nile virus activity. There are some important measures people can take to reduce their risk of infection: • Prevent mosquito breeding around your home; • Install screens on windows; • Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn as that is the time of day mosquitoes that can carry the virus are most active; • Wear protective clothing. If you are in an area Silver & Gold with many mosquitoes, wear loose-fitting, light coloured, full-length pants and a long-sleeved shirt. • Wear mosquito repellent.

TOUGH TASK FOR NDP’S HORGAN

ohn Horgan doesn’t have the luxury of a honeymoon period in office following his swearing in as B.C. premier last week. A good portion of the province is literally on fire. The experienced (and large) Liberal opposition is out for blood and already planning for the next election. The NDP alliance with the Greens is the only thing holding the whole rickety edifice together. Horgan is now going to find out if he can swim by being dumped in the deep end. Although he has only served in opposition as an MLA, Horgan spent much of the 1990s in government as an NDP operative. He saw that government’s projects — and its fall — up close. He’s also been in the rough and tumble of the provincial legislature since 2005. Hopefully, he’ll do well and live up to some of the NDP’s key promises from the spring election campaign. If Horgan and the NDP do well, B.C. should do well. B.C. is doing well relative to much of the country, and has been in that position under the Liberals, but the problems that exist are difficult to solve. “We’re going to work hard every day to build a better B.C.,” Horgan said as he was sworn in. He isn’t kidding that it will be hard work. Over the next few years, Horgan will be expected to make a serious dent in homelessness, rescue addicts from death by fentanyl, boost the minimum wage, get TransLink moving forward again and do something about the soaring cost of housing without tanking the entire economy. In the meantime, he needs to douse some very literal fires. We welcome Horgan and his cabinet to government. And we hope they’re up to the difficult tasks ahead.

Rumours amid the flames

id you hear about the looting in Cache Creek while it was under evacuation order? No? What about horsestealing on the Ashcroft First Nation reserve? You must have heard that, on July 16, members of the RCMP were going door-to-door in Ashcroft, warning that the village was under an evacuation alert, or that residents of Cache Creek could get back in to retrieve things with a police escort, or that we were going to be without internet service for up to eight weeks. All false. The rumour mill has been in overdrive since the Ashcroft Reserve/Elephant Hill wildfire began and our newspaper, the Ashcroft-Cache Creek Journal, found itself investigating and quashing rumours as quickly as they came to our attention. It has been like a particularly grim game of Whac-a-Mole: as soon as one rumour is bopped on the head, another one pops up to take its place. It is easy to understand how and why rumours get started, particularly during the week when Ashcroft was without phone and internet service, and when residents of Cache Creek were far from home and wondering what was happening. Nature abhors a vacuum and our region became one massive Dirt Devil. The Journal is fortunate to have direct access to people who are in positions of author-

SHOT ity and know what is going on. We realize others do not have that same access. However, it would be a good idea for all — upon hearing such rumours — to take a deep breath and consider the source. Is the person in a position to know these things in an official capacity, as a first responder, Mountie, local government official or information officer with the BC Wildfire Service? If not, perhaps reach for the salt before accepting what you hear as the gospel truth. As frustrating as these local rumours are, however, the most pernicious and upsetting piece of false news was the “fact” Ashcroft was under an evacuation order as of July 7 and that residents had either evacuated or were in the process of doing so. Many media outlets — including Global News, Globe and Mail, CBC and Radio NL in Kamloops — reported this, sometimes for days after the fire broke out. The result was predictable.

People outside the community saw or heard or read this, tried phoning or getting in touch with loved ones via email or social media and received no answer because power, internet and phone services were out. The result was confusion, fear and even outright panic as people sought to find out what was happening and where people had gone. On the evening of July 7, the Journal posted online in numerous places — including the paper’s website — that Ashcroft was under evacuation alert only, but some of the other news media failed to pick up on that fact. It was at first frustrating, then anger-inducing, to respond to numerous requests from frightened people enquiring about loved ones, knowing the panic could have been avoided if other media outlets had done a little research and fact-checking before filing their stories and reporting something that was simply not true. It may be cliché, but when hearing rumours — especially at a fraught time when people are on edge — consider the source. And big news media? Do some basic fact-checking. The local paper is a good place to start. Barbara Roden is editor of the Ashcroft-Cache Creek Journal. She can be reached at editorial@accjournal.ca. Care to comment on this column?

DAMN DO NOT BEND, THAT CITY COUNCIL SITE C DAM Editor:

Editor: I notice a good percentage of Williams Lake folks smoke. I do understand the stress factor from being evacuated, but it is not right to flick cigarette butts on to the grassy areas of our beautiful Riverside Park. This has occurred where the roadside sidewalk — where smoking is permitted — is, literally, feet away. Let’s keep Kamloops parks beautiful and smoke-free. Elmer King Kamloops

Editor: The communitybenefit agreement between KGHM Ajax and the City of Kamloops is $3.8 million a year. That works out to 11.5 cents for each Kamloops resident, per year. Wow — that’s a lot of compensation/benefits, for “zero harm” from KGHM Ajax and its proposed copper and gold mine. Bill Hadgkiss Kamloops

Editor: I voted for the B.C. Green Party, not for the B.C. NDP, nor for the B.C. Liberal Party. I did not vote for the Greens to give my vote to either of the other parties. I would like to cast my vote again in another election. That would be democracy. Kris Tower Kamloops

Editor: In honour of Christy Clark’s bungled leadership, perhaps best manifested by the abusive political end run around an appropriate objective review of BC Hydro’s proposed Site C dam project, can we now rename this hopefully doomed project the Christy Clark Damn? John McNamer Kamloops

Re: (City to pay Pride Parade permits,’ July 20): I agree with Coun. Pat Wallace that the city should not start a precedent by paying costs for events. Our tax dollars are not for use at the whim of councillors. What will be the next request and how will council answer it? Regarding organizations putting their flag up, I think that is another waste of city staff time and can also lead to precedent-setting situations. As for Coun. Donovan Cavers’ suggestion that the city should bend its policy, he should ask himself if bending policy is part of his duty as a city concillor. Ed Skretka Kamloops

Ranchers in the centre of British Columbia’s cattle country are facing “heartbreak’” as they return to scorched fields, dead and displaced livestock and damaged infrastructure following weeks of wildfires. Kevin Boon, general manager of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said the process of tallying losses has just begun and could take some time because the extreme heat of the wildfires would leave little evidence of a carcass. He said it’s expected hundreds if not thousands of cattle were killed or injured by the fires. ``The devastating part is done, and now the work really does begin,’’ said Boon. “[The ranchers] have got a lot on their plate right now and the more that can be done to help them is going to be key to their ability to bounce back from this.’’ Generations of infrastructure

like barns and equipment have been lost in some cases, and kilometres of fencing will also need to be replaced. Boon said the association is already working to replace fencing burned along major highways to prevent cattle from wandering into traffic, creating a safety hazard and potential for further losses. Scorched fields also mean ranchers will need to find other sources for feed. Boon said he’s working with ranchers to find opportunities to relocate some of the cattle for the short-term in the Peace region in northeast B.C., where conditions have been wetter. The devastation is expected to take an emotional toll on ranchers who have seen their livelihoods disappear in an instant, Boon said. He added it will continue to have long-term effects beyond

the immediate costs of rebuilding. The fires have disrupted breeding season, meaning calving next spring will be either delayed or significantly reduced, he added. While the extent of the damage is still being calculated, ranchers and communities are still on alert, bracing for the potential of more fires this summer. “At any given time, a lightning event or some more hot dry weather like they’re predicting is going to create that atmosphere for more fires, so where is the next one and with what severity?’’ Boon said of the focus of ongoing emergency planning discussions. For the first time, the cattlemen’s association is working directly with emergency response crews, a change Boon said has helped mitigate the extent of the loss. — Canadian Press

Creep catchers must remove posts

SURREY VIGILANTE GROUP HAS 30 DAYS TO DESTROY VIDEOS, RECORDS THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s information and privacy commissioner has ordered a Surrey-based vigilante group to stop posting personal information about two men the group alleges are linked to child luring. Acting information and privacy commissioner Drew McArthur said in his ruling that Surrey Creep Catcher violated B.C.’s Personal Information Protection Act by gathering and posting information about the men. McArthur investigated complaints from two people and says the group used deceptive or misleading practices when

it communicated with them and made video recordings of their meetings. The decision said the recordings were posted to social media along with added allegations that the men had attempted to lure and meet with a minor for sexual purposes. Surrey Creep Catcher defended itself, saying that it wasn’t violating laws because it was acting for journalistic purposes, a claim McArthur rejected in his decision. McArthur said the group made no effort to provide an accurate and fair description of the facts and he has given the group 30 days to remove videos and personal details of the men from its social media sites.

“In short, the organization’s true purpose in collecting, using and disclosing personal information is to ‘name and shame’ those whom it considers to be creeps, rather than offer a journalistic perspective on the issue,’’ he said in his written decision released Tuesday. McArthur has also ordered the group to destroy all of its records, video and communications with the complainants. Surrey Creep Catcher president Ryan Laforge was not immediately available for an interview, but he told Vancouver radio station CKNW that he will not comply with the ruling. “No, the whole purpose of what we do is to protect children from these guys,’’ he said.

LIBERAL TAX PROMISE VEXING DEFENCE STAFF LEE BERTHIAUME

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — National Defence has been struggling to make good on one of the Trudeau government’s recent promises: giving tax breaks to military personnel and police officers deployed on certain overseas operations. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan announced the measure during a major speech at the Royal Military College in Kingston, in May as part of the Liberals’ new defence policy. While Sajjan billed the move as an attempt to recognize the sacrifices that are often made by military personnel and their families, it also addressed what had been a prickly issue for the minister. Some service members

based in Kuwait had become increasingly vocal in the weeks leading up the announcement about a policy change that threatened to strip their taxexempt status. Yet the devil has proven to be in the details, with officials now scratching their heads over what types of operations and deployments should and should not be eligible for tax relief. The debate is particularly relevant for the navy’s sailors, many of whom on close reading of the defence policy would not be eligible for tax relief despite spending up to six months at sea at any given time. Sources tell The Canadian Press that the military’s senior leadership is now seized with the issue.

Alan Okros, an expert on the management of military personnel at the Canadian Forces College, said officials are now caught trying to make good on the Liberals’ promise without making matters worse. The tax measure would see the salaries of military personnel and police officers sent on certain operations exempted from federal income tax for the duration of their deployments. The move, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2017, exempts eligible salaries up to the pay level of lieutenant-colonel and is expected to cost the federal treasury about $85-million over the next five years. Personnel would still be eligible for extra hardship and risk pay if deployed into dangerous environments.

Both Sajjan and the Liberals’ defence policy, which was released a few weeks after the minister’s speech at RMC, said the exemption would be given to members deployed on what are called “named operations.’’ Named operations are usually the largest and most complex. But many military personnel deployed overseas for extended periods are never attached to a named operation, or may only spend a portion of their time in such a situation. That is particularly true of the navy, which has had two frigates sailing around the Asia-Pacific region since March, but whose sailors are not technically on a named operation.

IMF: break on child care pays for itself OTTAWA— International Monetary Fund researchers said the federal government can afford to spend $8 billion annually to reduce the cost of child care spaces nationwide because the program would pay for itself. The proposal is more than 10 times what the Liberals have promised to spend annually over the next decade on child care. The IMF predicted the cash would bring down the national average for child care fees by about 40 per cent, a figure expected to be high enough that it could entice more women into the workforce and drive greater economic growth. By the organization’s estimate, there are about 150,000 highly-educated women who are stay-at-home parents. If they all entered the workforce and started paying taxes, the IMF said, they would boost economic growth by two percentage points, equal to about $8 billion more in federal income tax revenue — enough to cover the cost of the program. But the IMF added a caveat to the proposal: It should be conditional on employment so that highly-educated mothers are prodded into the workforce. A spokeswoman for Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said the government’s commitment of $7.5 billion over 11 years towards child care would increase women’s labour market participation. “When quality educational child care services are affordable, parents — particularly women — can more easily participate in the labour market and invest in their careers. Taking gender equality seriously means taking child care services seriously, and our government will continue to work on improving gender equality,’’ Emilie Gauduchon-Campbell said. “Canada succeeds when women and girls are given opportunities to succeed.’’ —Canadian Press

cannot proceed. “What an exciting day for us,’’ said Jerry Natanine, the former mayor of Clyde River. “We’ve been saying justice is on our side because we’re fighting for our life, we’re fighting for our way of life.’’ Natanine clutched an eagle feather as he spoke in soft tones of the years-long battle that pitted his tiny, remote hamlet of about 1,100 people against three Norwegian companies seeking to fire air guns into the waters of Baffin Bay and Davis Straight looking for oil. “We are not totally against development,

but it has to be done right,’’ Natanine said. “You know whales don’t have to die, seals don’t have to die off, or plankton. There’s a better way to do these things.’’ A spokeswoman for the NEB said the agency is reviewing the court decision. “We always want to make sure our hearing processes are fair, timely, accessible and transparent,’’ wrote Sarah Kiley in an email. “Our focus right now will be on how we can advance our processes towards meeting those objectives in the future.’’ A lawyer for the companies said none

were in a position to make a statement Wednesday. The court said the Inuit had treaty rights in the region, including the right to harvest marine mammals, and it was also undisputed that the seismic testing could harm mammals like whales and seals, damaging their hearing, affecting their migration routes and even killing them. That assessment meant the Crown’s duty to consult was “at the highest end of the spectrum,’’ but the consultations “fell short in several respects,’’ the court found.

Kamloops is kind

It is so amazing to witness the heart of Kamloops with its generosity and compassion in helping out fire evacuees. My experience has been with the Kamloops Food Bank. I have to give a huge shout out to Bernadette, Wes, Darin, James and the crew for not only handling the usual day-to-day, but the huge influx of kindness from everywhere. Honoured and grateful to have such a crew in our fine city. — Dar Jens Kamloops

New ambassador program in hospital emergency department to enhance safety

nterior Health’s three busiest emergency departments have welcomed new team members. The health authority has introduced a Client Service Ambassador (CSA) program to enhance safety at Royal Inland, Kelowna General and Vernon Jubilee hospitals. “At Interior Health, the safety of our employees and physicians is a top priority, as is the safety of our patients and clients,” Interior

Health board chair John O’Fee said. “Unfortunately, when caring for people who are in emotional, vulnerable and stressful situations, their actions can be unpredictable and may include violence or aggression. This program is a good example of ways in which we are taking action to prevent and better respond to violent incidents.” Although they are security employees, the ambassadors’ role differs from that of security officers. They are more casually dressed and

are integrated with the emergency department team. They are to work proactively with patients, visitors and others in the department to avoid and mitigate incidents of aggression. The new initiative is based on a similar program that has been used in several emergency departments in the Lower Mainland. The ambassadors have specialized training, which helps them to recognize and de-escalate potentially aggressive behaviours.

As a result, if an incident arises, they are able to step in and mitigate potential violence. The special training is developed and provided by security company Paladin, in addition to the regular provincial violence prevention curriculum and other education. Visitors to the hospitals can identify the ambassadors in their casual uniform (polo T-shirt and khaki pants.) Nine ambassadors have been hired — three per hospital.

I was recently returning home after having coffee with a friend at Safeway on the North Shore. While scurrying along, I tripped on a raised section of sidewalk concealed by grass. I was catapulted 13 feet, unable to move and groaning from the jolt. Out of nowhere came an angel, who helped me up, assessed that I would require stitches, had a contusion on my hand and called for an ambulance. From his use of medical terms, I believe he may have been a retired doctor or had medical training. He gathered the necessary information from me in a compassionate way and waited with me until the ambulance and fire truck arrived. If I remember correctly, his name was Terry W. Unfortunately, I do not recall his last name. In these times, I thought we all needed to hear of the wonderful things he and society do every day. Thanks to Terry, ambulance and fire personnel and hospital emergency staff. — O.M. Grundy Kamloops DO YOU HAVE CHEERS OR JEERS? EMAIL EDITOR@ KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM.

The party is set to start that day — a Thursday — at 5:30 p.m. and is open to the community. Marteny said the key to happy and healthy golden years is good nutrition and being on guard against depression and loneliness. At The Shores, she said, the social setting helps on both counts. “All they have to do is make one friend,” she said of the residents

at the home at 870 Westminster Ave. on the North Shore, noting the social atmosphere is strong. Those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP Marteny by phone at 250-376-0315 or by email at Sharen.

tone tools and other portable items left behind by people from the past make up a significant portion of archeological research, as the last three installments of this column have done an excellent job highlighting. The physical remains of past human activities are the focus of archeological studies, which also include non-portable items. Archeologists refer to the non-portable components of archeological sites, such as hearths, trails or structural

remains, as “features.” Walking along lake and river shores in the Interior, we sometimes come across small and large depressions in the ground. These depressions provide evidence of past human occupation and archeologists call these distinctive features “cultural depressions.” The function of a cultural depression is determined, in part, through the size and shape of the depression, as well as the results of any archeological testing. Common types of cultural depressions include the remains of past housing structures, storage facilities or cooking locations.

The larger depressions, ranging in size from five to 15 metres or more in diameter, are typically the remains of housepits. These were semisubterranean houses constructed by digging a pit and piling excavated sediments around the perimeter to form a rim. A timber frame was then assembled over the excavated pit and covered with a combination of woven mats, dry grasses, pine needles, bark, animal skins and sod. This style of house was often occupied in the late fall through winter. Snow would accumulate on the surface, adding extra insulation during cold

winter months. Entrances to the housepits commonly consisted of a timberframed side entrance or an opening in the top centre of the house that acted as both a chimney and an entrance/exit using a ladder. Inside, there would be sleeping platforms and benches around the perimeter and a hearth in the centre to provide warmth, light and a place to cook. Several different styles of housepits have been recorded in B.C.’s Interior, representing regional differences and changes through time. Housepits were often used and reused for multiple years.

They would be abandoned in the summer in favour of more portable housing styles, such as tents, and then cleaned out and reoccupied the following autumn. Smaller-diameter depressions (one to three metres) are often the remains of earth ovens or storage pits. Earth ovens or roasting pits were used to cook various food items and often contain large quantities of cooking stones and burned rock. Storage or cache pits consisted of an excavated pit lined with woven mats, dried grasses or tree boughs. Food items, such as dried salmon or prepared roots, were then

placed in the pits and reburied for consumption later in the winter. Storage pits were often located within or just outside housepit locations so that stored food could be accessed throughout winter. What typically remains of abandoned housepits in the present day is a sunken pit with a well-defined rim around the perimeter that formed when the house structure collapsed. These depressions may be easily identified in open grassland terrain, but in more forested areas cultural depressions might only be located when someone fortuitously stumbles into the feature.

PAUWELS PLAYS HERO IN DECIDING GAME OF TOJLL FINAL MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

olby Pauwels sent the Snake Pit into orbit and snagged his small piece of local sports history on Tuesday night. The 20-year-old Kamloops Venom runner — who was diagnosed with cancer when he was two and underwent unproven proton radiation to survive — scored with one minute and 25 seconds left in a 10-minute overtime period to give his team a 10-9 win over the Vernon Tigers in the fifth and deciding game of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) final. “It’s unbelievable,” said Pauwels, standing in the middle of a sea of discarded helmets and sticks as teammates celebrated around him. “I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say, honestly. It’s a great feeling.” Memorial Arena was a sauna, reeking at times of body odour and cigarette smoke, a balmy, smelly, perfect stage for the final act of an epic series that went the distance in front of about 750 sweaty fans. Venom captain Riley Peterson, playing the last home game of his junior B lacrosse career, scored twice in the first period. “That was probably the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of,” Peterson said. “It had everything — overtime in Game 5 in the Snake Pit. It was a wild one tonight. No words to describe it.” Jake Pelletier scored in the first frame for the Tigers, who trailed 2-1 heading into the second intermission. Mack Stead pushed Kamloops out to a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but Kolten Kirschner and Chris Inscho replied quickly for Vernon to level the score at 3-3. Brady Georget relayed a deft, looping outlet pass from goaltender Matt Hans to Peterson at about the halfway point of the second period and the Venom captain notched his hat-trick goal. Hans and Tigers’ netminder Darnell Hauca exchanged impressive saves before Vernon evened the score at 4-4 through Steele Pelletier, who tallied 4-on-4 after Georget had taken Kamloops off the power play with a cross-checking penalty. “It’s not the best thing to be feeling right

now,” a dejected Steele Pelletier said after the game. “It didn’t end how we wanted it to end, but we’ll get them back in the first round of provincials.” The Tigers and Venom were heading to the provincial junior B lacrosse championship no matter who won the league final, Vernon as the host team and Kamloops as the TOJLL representative. Champions of the four-team Pacific Northwest Lacrosse League (Vancouver Island) and 11-team West Coast Junior Lacrosse League (Lower Mainland) will join Kamloops and Vernon at the tournament, which gets underway on Aug. 4 at Kal Tire Place.

Kelly Olynyk spent 15 minutes on Tuesday speaking to media during a break from his annual basketball camp in Kamloops, the Olynyk Klynyk, this year being held inside McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Topics of conversation with the seven-foot NBA star included his recently signed $50-million contract, his supposed frugality, sticking it to the Boston Celtics, his future in Miami, the state of Canadian basketball and Game 7 heroics last season that brought the man bun into the mainstream.

The Heat is on

Multiple teams were in the Olynyk sweepstakes, but the South Kamloops secondary graduate decided to sign a fouryear contract worth in excess of $50 million with the Miami Heat. “Miami was the best fit, the best opportunity for me from a playing standpoint,” said Olynyk, who played mostly off the bench in four years with the Celtics. “The money was there as well.” Olynyk set career highs last season in assists (148), defensive rebounds (288), field goals (260), field-goal percentage (51.2 per cent) and minutes (1,538), but started only six regular-season games (a career low) and two of the Celtics’ 19 playoff games. Boston signed centre/power forward Al Horford to a fouryear, $113-million deal last summer, an addition that didn’t help Olynyk’s chances of seeing the floor in an already crowded frontcourt. Boston rescinded the rights to

Olynyk on July 4 and made a big splash by signing small forward Gordon Hayward to a four-year, $128-million deal. “As soon as Kelly Olynyk became an unrestricted free agent, we pursued him,” Heat president Pat Riley said. “He is not only a post player, he can also play away from the basket. What we like the most is that he is a playmaker, tough defender and rugged rebounder. At just 26 years old, he fits in perfect with our young core that will play together in their primes.” Versatility may be Olynyk’s greatest asset. Last season, he joined Dirk Nowitzki as the only sevenfooters in NBA history to connect on at least 200 three-point field goals and record at least 400 assists during their first four seasons in the league. “The way they [the Heat] play and the way coach Spo [Erik Spoelstra] does his system, I think it’s perfect for me,” Olynyk said. “I can bring a little bit of shooting and skill in the front line for them. “They had a great last half of the season, the top record in the NBA, and they signed pretty much everybody back.” Miami started the season 11-30 and finished with a record of 41-41.

Something to prove

Boston made it clear Olynyk is not part of its plans going forward. Will he have a chip on his shoulder, something to prove to the Celtics’ organization next season? “Yeah, definitely,” Olynyk said. “We were No. 1 in the East. It was tough. I would have definitely enjoyed going back.

“Hopefully, I get a great opportunity down in Miami to keep growing and keep improving and maybe a little more opportunity to play a little more and keep growing, rather than looking at plateauing.” Olynyk expressed his appreciation for the city of Boston and its fans and said there is no bad blood between him and the Celtics’ front-office staff, but it never hurts to have a little extra motivation. “They helped me grow into the player I am right now and gave me the opportunity to be in this position and sign with Miami,” Olynyk said. “Now, I’m excited for a new chapter and to see what we can do down in Miami.”

Game 7

KO delivered the knockout punch for the Celtics in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Washington Wizards in May. “I went to this game and will always remember it as The Olynyk Game. ALL HAIL THE PRINCE OF MAN BUN!!!!!!” columnist Bill Simmons said on Twitter, adding to the media frenzy after the game. Olynyk finished with a career playoff-high 26 points, including 12 points in a three-and-a-halfminute span in the fourth quarter to wax the Wizards. “It was probably the best game I had as a Celtic and the best atmosphere I’d seen as a Celtic,” Olynyk said. “To hear 20,000 fans in the Garden chanting your name and solely your name is pretty unbelievable. It’s pretty unreal and surreal to think about — and it actually happened.” See OLYNYK, A19

Olynyk: I’m money-savvy, not frugal From A18

Post-game coverage included TNT analyst Charles Barkley threatening to cut off Olynyk’s man bun and more love on Twitter from former Celtic Kevin Garnett: “@celtics ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! #ManBuns.” Olynyk’s phone blew up with messages and notifications after the game. “I was glad to be relevant there for a little while,” Olynyk said with a laugh.

If Kelly Olynyk and the Miami Heat are going to make a run at an NBA title next season, they will have to dethrone LeBron James (left) and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Penny pincher?

A headline in a July 14 Toronto Star article referred to Olynyk as frugal. “I wouldn’t call myself frugal,” Olynyk said. “I would say I’m more money-savvy. I have a few things in my mind brewing up.” The only purchase Olynyk has made since signing his new deal is a set of golf clubs for his father, Ken, the athletics director at Thompson Rivers University.

“I could hear properly for the first time since I was a teenager.” Nate Davis will never forget the first time he used his hearing aids. Nate had suffered with his hearing for most of his life but all that changed when he got in touch with Miracle-Ear. After several operations in his younger years, he was told the hearing had completely gone from his right ear, a situation he had lived with for 25 years. “My wife, Brenda, had to be my ears, even when we were talking she’d have to do lots of listening to make sure I heard it all correctly. I would struggle when I went to the pub with friends, and always felt like I wasn’t part of the conversation. “It got more frustrating and I didn’t want to accept that I might spend the rest of my life in a world that was becoming increasingly silent. So I decided to book an appointment with Miracle-Ear. Nate was amazed by what happened when he was fitted for his hearing aids. “It was incredible,” says Nate. “Everything was there and crystal clear: voices, birdsong, traffic noise—sounds

There are no plans to upgrade his 2016 Toyota Tundra. “It fits me well,” he said. “It’s tough to get into one of the more expensive sports cars. It’s all cramped in there.” Making it rain on Miami Beach doesn’t seem to be in Olynyk’s immediate plans, but he might test out the surf.

“I’m going to have to work on my tan a little bit before I get out there,” Olynyk said. “It’s going to be nice. Coming from here and moving to Gonzaga [in Washington state] and Boston, the winters have not been warm.”

The Maple Leaf

Canada beat Italy 79-60 to

claim the under-19 FIBA World Cup tournament earlier this month, a feat recognized by outspoken Canada Basketball proponent Olynyk. “It’s unbelievable,” Olynyk said. “Watching the U-19s win the world championship was heartwarming. It’s huge for our country. It shows you what kind of impact

the game of basketball can have on our youth.” The Olynyk Klynyk is the NBA star’s way of giving back, trying to inspire the next generation of Canadian basketball players. Adrianna Little, who is heading into Grade 9 at Westsyde secondary, is among those attending the Klynyk this week. “He talks to everyone when he has chances,” Little said of Olynyk. “He helps me with dribbling and how to put the ball through my legs.” Olynyk was part of the Canadian team that fell just shy of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. “Hopefully, we can get everybody together for 2020 [in Tokyo], get everybody on the same page and go out and make it happen,” Olynyk said. “You never know, some of the kids in this camp might be on that team one day. It’s cool to see your influence on some of that.”

ADVERTORIAL

I hadn’t been able to hear since I was in my teens. The memory of it still overwhelms me. If just one person reads this, books an appointment with Miracle-Ear and regains their quality of life, it will all have been worthwhile. Go and see them. It’s never too late.”

Chuckers stand in Dogs’ way Brain disease research alarming LINDSAY TANNER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Research on 202 former football players found evidence of a brain disease linked to repeated head blows in nearly all of them, from athletes in the CFL, NFL, college and even high school. It’s the largest update on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a debilitating brain disease that can cause a range of symptoms including memory loss. The report doesn’t confirm that the condition is common in all football players; it reflects high occurrence in samples at a Boston brain bank that studies CTE. Many donors or their families contributed because of the players’ repeated concussions and troubling symptoms before they died. “There are many questions that remain unanswered,’’ said lead author Dr. Ann McKee, a Boston University neuroscientist. “How common is this’’ in the general population and all football players? “How many years of football is too many?’’ and “What is the genetic risk? Some players do not have evidence of this disease despite long playing years,’’ she noted. It’s also uncertain if some players’ lifestyle habits — alcohol, drugs, steroids, diet — might somehow contribute, McKee said. Dr. Munro Cullum, a neuropsychologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, emphasized that the report is based on a selective sample of men who were not necessarily representative of all football players. He said problems other than CTE might explain some of their most common symptoms before death — depression, impulsivity and behaviour changes. He was not involved in the report.

McKee said research from the brain bank may lead to answers and an understanding of how to detect the disease in life, “while there’s still a chance to do something about it.’’ Currently, there’s no known treatment. The strongest scientific evidence says CTE can only be diagnosed by examining brains after death, although some researchers are experimenting with tests performed on the living. Many scientists believe that repeated blows to the head increase risks for developing CTE, leading to progressive loss of normal brain matter and an abnormal buildup of a protein called tau. Combat veterans and athletes in rough contact sports like football and boxing are among those thought to be most at risk. The new report was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. CTE was diagnosed in 177 former players or nearly 90 per cent of brains studied. That includes seven of eight brains from former CFL players, 110 of 111 from former NFL players; 48 of 53 college players; nine of 14 semi-professional players and three of 14 high school players. The disease was not found in brains from two younger players. A panel of neuropathologists made the diagnosis by examining brain tissue, using recent criteria from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, McKee said. The NFL issued a statement saying these reports are important for advancing science related to head trauma and said the league “will continue to work with a wide range of experts to improve the health of current and former NFL athletes.’’ The CFL is facing a $200-million class-action lawsuit over concussions and brain trauma.

Gibbons not writing off season NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Blue Jays’ general manager Ross Atkins may be looking to next season but manager John Gibbons is still focused on 2017. Speaking to reporters Monday, a week ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, Atkins acknowledged the window for a third straight playoff appearance was getting smaller. His interest is acquiring young, controllable talent to help the team next season. Asked what he took

from that message, Gibbons offered little. “That’s not my department,’’ he said prior to Tuesday’s game against Oakland. “All I know is the plan is we want to put a good team on the field next year. I’m worried about this year. This year’s not over yet. “It’s all about winning,’’ he added. “But I stay out of that acquisitions thing. I worry about what goes on the field.’’ The Jays were 46-54 going into Wednesday night’s game against the Athletics, but still drawing good crowds.

Average home attendance has been 39,644 this season with 11 sellouts despite the fact the Jays have been swimming upstream since a 2-11 start. “Nothing better than going to a bigleague ball game,’’ said Gibbons. “And we’ve got an entertaining team. “At this stage of the season we’re not where we want to be obviously but it’s still good entertainment. There’s two months left. We’ll see where we end up. But it makes a huge difference when (the fans) do come out.’’

The Kamloops RiverDogs will play the Richmond Chuckers in a B.C. Baseball College Prep League series on the weekend. Host Richmond (23-17) qualified as the third seed, while Kamloops (17-23) finished sixth in league standings. Games 1 and 2 will be played at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, respectively. Game 3, if necessary, will get underway at 11 a.m. on Sunday. The winner will advance to the fourteam provincial championship, which will be held in Chilliwack on Aug. 5 and Aug. 6.

Macks on track

Two Kamloops Track and Field Club athletes were in action at the North American Indigenous Games last week in Toronto. Kiara Mack, competing in the 16-andunder division, won silver medals in high jump (1.44 metres) and the 4x400-metre relay. She also earned bronze in the 4x100m relay. Her sister, Mya, had fifth-place finishes in discus (22.32 metres), shot put (7.04 metres) and high jump (1.25 metres) in the 14-andunder category.

On the water

The Kamloops Tsunami Swim Club placed sixth overall at the Salmon Arm Invitational on the weekend and earned 67 top-five finishes and many personal-best times. Four Tsunami swimmers were aggregate award winners, with Jared Roberts winning silver in Division 1, Sebastian Martin winning gold in Division 5, Raina McEachernToombs winning bronze in Division 5 and Shale Maurice winning gold in the open category.

The Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) is offering summer camps for the eighth consecutive year. KYSA prospects, along with development and select players ages 10 to 17, are invited to attend a high-performance camp taught by coaches from Stoke City FC of the English Premier League. The camp will run from Aug. 8 to Aug. 11, with boys’ sessions from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and girls’ sessions

from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. From Aug. 14. to Aug. 18, the KYSA is offering its regular school for boys and girls of all skill levels between the ages of five and 13. Sessions run from 9 a.m. to noon.

The Widebody is equipped with 20x11-inch “devil’s rim” alloy wheels, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero 305/35ZR20 tires for increased grip. The car also gains electric-assist power steering and selectable steering tuning, which helps manage the enhanced grip for maximum performance on the drag strip, but also around a track. According to FCA, the roadholding ability of the Widebody climbs from 0.93 g in the regular SRT Hellcat to 0.97 g, while the zero to 96 km/h dash is cleared 0.1 second sooner, pegged at 3.4 seconds. Top speed is rated at 314 km/h. The Hellcat Widebody boasts a supercharged, 6.2-litre V8 that cranks out 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, managed by a Tremec six-speed manual or a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing for the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody starts at $87,995 before tacking on freight and delivery charges of $2,495.

any people prefer leasing an automobile to buying one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and leasing can be more advantageous than buying in various ways. For example, leasing allows drivers who cannot afford to purchase a new and more reliable vehicle the opportunity to drive such a car or truck at a cost that is considerably less over the long haul than buying the vehicle outright. Leasing also makes it possible for drivers who prefer newer cars to exchange automobiles every few years, saving them from maintaining a car as it ages. When leasing an automobile for the first time, motorists may not be aware of certain things about leasing that could benefit them over the course of their leases: â&#x20AC;¢ Kilometre restrictions are not set in stone. Standard leases typically limit drivers to a certain number of kilometres per year over the life of the lease. Any additional miles on the vehicle when it is turned in at the end of the lease would incur a penalty. But mileage limits are negotiable and drivers who think they will exceed the maximum number of kilometres stated in the lease agreement can tailor their leases to allow for additional miles. Extra kilometres will cost more money, but that extra expense will likely pale in comparison to excess mileage charges, making it well worth the investment for drivers to negotiate at the time of signing. â&#x20AC;¢ You may need to pay a substantial initial down payment. Monthly lease terms are favourable to men and women who cannot afford to finance a car or those who want to avoid long-term financing with hefty monthly payments. But many leases require lessees to pay substantial down payments upon agreeing to the lease. If such a down payment proves a hurdle you cannot clear, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know

Obituaries & In Memoriam Alfred David Daniels

November 28, 1925 – December 27, 2016 It is with sadness that the community of Seymour Arm bids farewell to Alf Daniels, the last member of a generation that was one of the original homesteading families at the north end of Shuswap Lake. Alf spent most of his life in Seymour Arm working at everything from trapping, logging, guiding, running a sawmill, building forest roads, cattle ranching and working for Fisheries and Parks. His final endeavour saw him become a small business owner dispensing gas, groceries and sound advice from Daniels’ Store and Marina, a floating store that operated all year round despite a small customer base and the long, bone-chilling winters. The ‘store’ was a place that folks could gather for a small purchase and a long conversation on anything. The community of Seymour Arm was a very important part of Alf’s life and while he usually chose to avoid the limelight he did find ways to support the community through other means. The community hall and ‘upper’ ball field were built on land donated by the Daniels family and the gravity-fed community water system was originally conceived and then built in partnership with the Daniels brothers Ernie and Alf. Thanks to a local organization called AWE (Aging With Ease), Alf was able to remain in Seymour Arm up to his last days. He even kept one of the best fruit and vegetable gardens going up to the end… until a mother bear and two cubs helped themselves to all the carrots and parsnips. Gardening was always an adventure and a challenge for Alf in the Arm.

Alf was pre-deceased by his ‘tough-as-nails’ parents Vern and Nellie, his brothers Ernest, Arnold and Albert (Abbie), his sisters Violet (Hamilton) and Shirley (Quast), and his nephew Randal Quast.

Peggy Barbara Martin April 4, 1934 – July 22, 2017 Peggy passed away peacefully on July 22, 2017 leaving behind her beloved husband of 63 years Guy, cherished by her children Linda (Gary), Claude (Shawn) and Dean, grandchildren Aaron and Nicole and step-grandchild Eden.

He is survived by his nephews Arnold and Jack Hamilton, Rick and Leroy Daniels and his favourite (and only) niece Shari Bachynski (Quast), as well by as a host of great nephews and nieces. Thanks go out to all the community members who made Alf’s life comfortable and meaningful at the end, in particular Sue Kyle and Lorraine Thompson, to the AWE Association for setting up a support system, to Dr. Welder who kept him going into ripe old age, to Lillian and Gary who supplied much-needed and appreciated in-home care in the last few months, to the medi-vac and ambulance crews who braved the weather and roads to ferry Alf out a few times, the Kamloops Hospital staff who made his last few days peaceful and to all the friends, relatives and neighbours who were so supportive along the way. Alf will always be remembered as being a ‘foundational’ member of the community of Seymour Arm and his memory will be cherished by those whom he touched with his humour and his kindness. A Memorial in Alf’s honour will be held at the Seymour Arm Community Hall on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 starting at 2:00 pm. All welcome.

Born Peggy Darwin in Nelson, BC, where she was known for her prowess on the baseball field. Always up for adventure, she left home after high school to join the RCAF and was stationed in St. Hubert’s Air Force Base in Montreal, where she met the love of her life Guy. After having their three children in Halifax, Vancouver and Kamloops, Peggy was very involved in community volunteer work, including minor hockey, baseball, figure skating and the Brocklehurst Recreation Center that she was so proud of. Peggy’s biggest love after her family was playing golf with her dear friends for more than 30 years at KGCC and the Dunes. She loved a cold beer after the game and was known for her fun-loving spirit and great sense of humor. In recent years, she visited her dear Guy at The Hamlets daily, where her gregarious personality touched the lives of all who knew her for the past eight years. Peggy now joins those loved ones who left before her. Her mother Mary, sister Anne and dear friends Bobbi and Bev. She will be forever missed, always loved and never forgotten. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to all the caring staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. Your kindness, caring and generosity made Peggy’s final weeks as comforting as possible. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at 3-West at RIH, who cared for Peg in the early stages of her illness. A Celebration of Peg’s Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice.

Lynn (English) Burrows

Mike Mahon

“Embrace Life” is what our beloved Lynn did every day until July 12, 2017 when she passed away at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice surrounded by her husband Will and their four sons. Lynn’s family was everything to her. They were her reason for living and her inspiration until the end. Her husband of 34 years Will and their sons Jason (Denise), Tyler, Kiefer and Braeden (Danya) will miss her beyond measure. Predeceased by her father Allen English of Victoria, she leaves a hole in the hearts of her mother Joan and her brother John (Vicki), as well as her and Will’s extended family and friends, many of whom Lynn cherished deeply. Lynn’s calling was helping others. While raising four active boys (five counting Will) she attained a Masters in Counselling from the University of Victoria in 2000 and spent a decade helping others, especially those dealing with loss and grief. She later focused on improving the lives of seniors. After being diagnosed with a rare cancer, Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) in 2008, she did what came so naturally to her - she learned everything there was to learn about her cancer and began helping others who were ‘in the same boat’. She served on the Board of Directors of the national patient support group ‘GIST LifeRaft Group’ Canada and rather than worry about herself, she travelled internationally supporting and advocating for her “GISTer sisters and brothers”. Lynn loved to laugh. She loved watching her guy’s sports. She loved her garden, her lattes, her dogs and anything she could make to show others how much they meant to her. More than anything, she loved Will and their boys - who will carry Lynn in their hearts forever.

On July 16, 2017 Theodore Michael Bulmer Mahon passed away in Abbotsford at the age of 88. Mike was formerly of Wells and Logan Lake, BC. Mike was born on July 2, 1929 to Lucy and Ted Mahon. He spent his formative years in Wells, BC. He is survived by his brother John and wife Gladys, nephew John Jr. and wife Marnie and son Nicholas, niece Kim LeGrandeur and husband Cam and sons Brett and Justin.

Her family has asked that Lynn be remembered not by flowers but rather by a donation to www.liferaftgroup.ca or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, where Lynn spent her final weeks of life finally relieved of pain and with her family by her side.

Mike lived his last four years in Abbotsford under loving support and care of his nephew John Mahon Jr. Mike dearly loved his nephew John Jr. and his niece Kimberley. He was the best Uncle ever!

Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

We will miss him and his wry sense of humour.

Lynn’s life will be remembered and celebrated on Sunday, July 30th, 2017 at The Mountain Room at TRU’s Campus Activity Centre, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Rest in Peace Mike

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. 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.
