Friends gather in Brocklehurst to celebrate Jessie Simpson’s birthday TIM PETRUK

HELP JESSIE

Friends and family of a young Savona man who suffered serious brain injuries as the result of an alleged altercation with a Kamloops homeowner last year gathered in Brocklehurst on Wednesday to celebrate his 20th birthday. Jessie Simpson remains hospitalized, but about 15 of his relatives and close friends met at the corner of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue — where the alleged altercation took place — holding signs of support. “It’s Jessie’s birthday, so we all thought it would be a good idea to show Jessie our love,” said Shayla Mortensen, a former

classmate of Simpson’s. “Although Jessie can’t see this, he can feel it.” Simpson was in a coma for months following an alleged beating in Brocklehurst last year. On June 19, 2016, Simpson was allegedly attacked by

area homeowner Kristopher Teichrieb, who has been in jail since the incident. Simpson’s family and friends have said he had been out celebrating high school graduation the night before the alleged attack and may have been searching for a group of friends when he was assaulted. At the time, police said a Brocklehurst man confronted a person on his driveway in the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue. Teichrieb is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault. His trial is scheduled to begin in January. Simpson began to wake from a coma following a surgery in January, but has since faced mul-

tiple medical setbacks. Last month, a B.C. Supreme Court judge declared Simpson legally infirm due to his brain injuries, appointing his mother, Susanna, to act on his behalf. Kathy Desmond, a longtime friend of the Simpson family, said it was “not conceivable” a year ago to even picture Simpson turning 20. “We are all amazed and elated that he’s still here,” Desmond said. “It was day by day and, honestly, he was asleep in a coma for many months.” Desmond brought 15 balloons in Simpson’s favourite colours of blue and green for attendees to release into the air in his honour. “I think he would be super happy if he were here,” she said. “He’d be very happy about it.”

HEALTHY LAWNS There's more than one way for your lawn to be healthy. Reducing or eliminating pesticides are healthy options for your family, pets, and neighbours. A healthy lawn is achieved by feeding the soil, not the grass. Nourish the soil, and most weeds will be crowded out over time. Many people recognize that there are beautiful and ecologically significant alternatives to grass lawns. White Dutch Clover is a great choice due to its many benefits. Try growing a clover lawn in a small area, and see how much time, energy, and water you save.

Powwow will proceed Fate of the 38th-annual event had been in doubt with powwow grounds playing home to Williams Lake evacuees TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The powwow is a go. Tk’emlups Indian Band leaders and organizers of the Kamloopa Powwow decided on Thursday to proceed with this year’s event, slated to get underway next week on the grounds that have been used for nearly two weeks by evacuees as a campsite. TIB Chief Fred Seymour said the decision became an easier one on Thursday with news that the evacuation order for Williams Lake had been downgraded to an alert. Most of the 500-or-so campers staying at the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Special Events Facility — powwow grounds — were from the Cariboo city. “With the news of evacuees from Williams Lake getting to go home, that should clear our grounds,” Seymour said. This year’s is the 38th annual Kamloopa Powwow. The event attracts hundreds of attendees from across North America and bills itself as one of the largest in Western Canada. It is scheduled to get underway on Friday, Aug. 4, and wrap up on Sunday, Aug. 6. Seymour said it was a nervewracking couple of days, but

Drum competitions, like this one at the 2013 Kamloopa Powwow, are usually one of the event’s most popular aspects. This year’s powwow was almost cancelled because the grounds have been used by wildfire evacuees for temporary camping, but organizers and Tk’emlups Indian Band leaders met on Thursday and decided the event would proceed.

he’s relieved to have come to a decision and that the powwow will proceed.

“It’s all good,” he said. “We’re going to go ahead now anyway.”

STAFF REPORTER

Stay cool, Kamloops. That’s the message from WorkSafeBC, as temperatures soar in the Tournament Capital over the next week. Environment Canada is predicting temperatures above 30 C throughout next week, with highs of 35 C on Saturday and 37 C on Wednesday. “Over the last few days, we saw a couple of disturbances move through that helped temperatures subside a little bit, but we’ve got this big ridge of high pressure rebuilding through the weekend and it’s going to persist through next week,” said Environment Canada Meteorologist Matt MacDonald. MacDonald said the latter end of next week could see

record-breaking temperatures in the city, and in general the city will be running about five degrees hotter than the average high for this time of year, 29 C. With the heat on, WorkSafe is advising outdoor workers and their employers to be on the lookout for signs of heat stress. Left untreated, heat stress can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Last year, WorkSafe accepted 16 claims of heat-related injuries, mainly from truck and bus drivers, lifeguards, fitness and sport instructors and film production assistants. To prevent heat stress — the body’s internal temperature rising faster than it can cool itself — WorkSafe BC suggests employers establish cooling areas with shade and water, look for ways to limit heat exposure and make sure there is adequate

first-aid treatment available. Workers should drink a glass of water every 20 minutes, do the most strenuous physical labour before 11 a.m. and after 3 p.m. and wear cool, loose-fitting clothes. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, fainting, muscle cramps and excess sweating. In cases of heat stroke, a person may have stopped sweating, and may experience confusion and heavy breathing — as well as seizures or even cardiac arrest. MacDonald said Kamloops residents shouldn’t expect much reprieve from the heat until fall. “We continue to suggest warmer than normal conditions throughout the rest of the summer,” he said. Environment Canada’s predictions also call for continued dryness, with no rain expected in the next two weeks.

The Martin Mountain fire burning near Monte Lake has grown to 150 hectares and is still threatening structures in the area. The fire spread quickly after igniting Wednesday afternoon, going from zero to 100 hectares in a matter of hours overnight. “In this case it was ideal conditions and ideal fuel for that fire to work its way up the hill very quickly,” said fire information officer Max Birkner, adding that the slope of the hill contributed to how quickly the fire spread. The B.C. Wildfire Service initially listed “person” as the suspected cause of the fire. “It does appear that the fire started fairly close to Highway 97 — as far as determining an exact cause, that investigation is ongoing,” said chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek. The fire resulted in the evacuation of 58 properties, with another 60 or so on alert. Monte Lake resident Tyler

Willson said he and his wife Kris had more time than some neighbours, about 30 minutes, to grab what they could after they were given the evacuation order. “We got our dogs, three cats and were able to catch three chickens before we got out of there,” Tyler said. On Thursday, those three birds were staying in a box inside a friend’s closet in a Kamloops apartment. They also received word their chickens and quail left behind were rescued by emergency personnel on Wednesday. When Tyler first spotted the wildfire on his way home from work Wednesday afternoon, it was a small roadside grass fire about 50-feet in diameter. “The fire was 300 or 400 metres away [from the house] last night. Who knows what it might be when we return?” As of KTW press time on Thursday, the fire was 30 per cent contained with 25 firefighters on site and three aircraft fighting the blaze. The B.C.

es to the fire Thursday afternoon, including helicopters and ground crews. On Thursday, a GoFundMe page was set up and posted to social media for a family that says it has lost its home to the blaze. The page, “Tobin & Shane’s Fire Campaign,” had raised $650 of its $10,000 goal by press time. In the rest of the province, there are currently 148 wildfires burning, and the Martin Mountain fire by Monte Lake was just one of 14 new fires started Wednesday. The Elephant Hill fire burning near Ashcroft was last measured at 61,500 hectares, but is likely larger. Skrepnek said estimating the size is difficult because of how much smoke remains in the air. The fire is 30 per cent contained and burnoffs are expected to continue, creating more smoke, but also limiting the growth of the fire. In all, there have been 794 fires in the province since April 1 this year, burning a total of 379,000 hectares and costing the B.C. Wildfire Service an estimated $154 million.

B.C.’s cattle ranchers say business is slow this summer because of wildfires raging throughout the province, even in areas not directly impacted by fire.

Cattle ranchers feeling pinch during intense wildfire season CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Even cattle ranchers not directly impacted by wildfires are struggling to do business in B.C.’s hot summer. B.C. Livestock Producers Co-op has cancelled sales in Williams Lake and Vanderhoof due to fires burning in the Central Interior. It held a small sale in Kamloops Tuesday, despite the fact its stockyard is being used to

board some evacuated animals. “It’s more horses than cattle,” co-operative manager Kevin Johnson said of the boarded animals. “Most Williams Lake cattle are on the range. . . . You open the gates and hope.” B.C. ranchers are facing millions of dollars in losses as livestock, fences and other infrastructure succumb to the fire. The cancelled sales come during what otherwise is a slow time. Ranchers typically bring cattle to market in volumes

beginning in August and peaking in early fall. But Johnson said there is no way to determine how the normally peak sales season in late summer and fall will look like for ranchers. He called the Highway 97 corridor north of Cache Creek through Williams Lake “a dead zone.” “We can’t plan or look forward to anything until the fires go out and they open the highways… . Everything is shut down.”

Williams Lake mayor welcomes evacuees back to Cariboo city THE CANADIAN PRESS

WILLIAMS LAKE — Thousands of people who rushed out of their homes as a wildfire neared Williams Lake are being allowed to return to the city, but with a warning that they could be forced to leave again. Mayor Walt Cobb said he couldn’t be happier that an evacuation order that went into effect on July 15 was being lifted on Thursday. “The wildfires near our community are not 100 per cent contained and due to the changing weather conditions an evacuation could happen,’’ he said. “So welcome home and please be as orderly in your return as you were during the evacuation.’’

Williams Lake was ordered evacuated on July 15. Many displaced residents spent their time as evacuees in Kamloops. Cariboo Regional District chairman Al Richmond said that while an evacuation order for Williams Lake and 10 surrounding areas was being lifted, residents of five other areas could still not return home due to ongoing wildfire dangers. Richmond said the returning evacuees should keep their belongings packed because they may have to leave at a moment’s notice if another evacuation order goes into effect. “People need to consider, particularly those in rural areas, that the areas have been profoundly affected by wildfire.

The services you used to rely on may be limited for some time.’’ Richmond said people should bring back basic necessities such as food and prescription medications to last them for up to a week. Hospital and ambulance services as well as grocery stores and gas stations were being re-established in co-ordination with local and First Nations governments and agencies including the Red Cross, he said. North and south routes into Williams Lake along Highway 97 reopened on Thursday as the regional district urged residents to watch for livestock and wildlife on roads around Williams Lake because many fences were burned in the area.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The weather and the strain it imposed on those charged with protecting us while also being cognizant of Kamloops’ reputation as a serious outdoors city. While the powers-that-be this week lifted a ban that closed 14 popular parks in the city, the decision came just as the temperatures were set to again soar into sizzling territory. It’s a fine balancing act — trying to maintain access to the wonderful landscape of this region while also attempting to reduce the risk of wildfires. If you are out and about in nature parks this weekend and beyond, please be extra careful not to do anything that could lead to a spark.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: President Donald Trump’s latest nastiness, in which he informed the United States populace of a major military policy decision via a tweet — and one that was poorly constructed, as usual. Trump has declared that transgendered people can no longer serve in the military, using some vague reasoning concerning “medical costs.” As some media outlets stateside have noted, Trump’s climb back into the Dark Ages of human rights not only will force trans people to serve in fear and bring back the despicable don’t ask, don’t tell environment, his announcement came precisely 69 years after President Harry Truman ordered the racial integration of the military. It is interesting to see such a warped policy being set down by a man who managed to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War several times, clearly intent on avoiding having to go into battles via a plethora of questionable excuses.

Not banking on community

lan Vyse leaned against the railing in the waning sunlight of another hot July day and watched two teams of young girls play soccer on the field below. Vyse noted a small part of the Valleyview community had been eroded moments earlier in a meeting in the neighbourhood’s community hall, which is attached to the railing where he leaned. I noted those girls playing soccer below us may very well never know the “community” of which Vyse and many others spoke minutes earlier, their passionate pleas to have their bank branch spared meeting a permanent rebuke in the form of a top executive from TD Canada Trust. Vyse, 75, was among a few dozen people, mainly seniors, who gathered at the Park Street hall on Monday night to appeal to Maura Manzi, TD Canada Trust’s Pacific region senior vicepresident. They bank at TD Canada Trust in the Valleyview Square shopping centre. They walk there, they drive there, they meet friends there and they go for coffee from there. They know the staff. The bank is part of the Valleyview community. It is part of their family. And, on Sept. 22, it will close, with the Valleyview customers who need to bank in person required to drive the six kilometres west on Highway 1 to the larger, more modern TD Canada Trust branch at Columbia Street and Notre Dame Drive. “It’s not about TD, the bank,” Vyse explained. “It’s about the people IN the bank — Crystal,

MUSINGS Fami, Julie. We know them. They are part of our community.” Vyse pointed to the Valleyview Community Hall, to the well-tended gardens, to the nearby playground at Marion Schilling elementary that will soon receive a major facelift. It is all about community, he said, something vitally important in a city as massive in size as Kamloops. That was the sentiment echoing inside the hall Monday night as resident after resident, all TD customers, used Manzi as a verbal pinata for their frustrations at not being consulted before the corporate giant decided to shutter their branch. Manzi travelled to Valleyview from Vancouver to bear the brunt of the anger, even while repeating that the decision has been made. Then again, he may have had no choice as the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada states a meeting about a bank branch closure must be held “if someone locally affected by the closure” asks for such a meeting. There may be many more such meetings on the horizon. While the Valleyview closure is TD’s first in B.C. this year, dozens of bank branches are

expected to close across Canada this year as online banking continues to dominate. But why was the Valleyview decision made, when TD Canada Trust, like all Canadian banks, continues to post eye-popping numbers (a net income of $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2017)? Well, Manzi cited a few general issues relating to the number of customers, maintenance of the building housing the branch, lease considerations and changing dynamics in the way people bank in 2017. I suspect it is mainly the first and last in that list of items, considering those raising an outcry at the meeting trended more toward Sinatra than Swift. My kids’ last visit to a bank branch may have been their first, when I opened an account for them. With their generation, everything is online via their cellphones — their friends, their music, their news (as long as the browser is at kamloopsthisweek. com, says I) and even their banking. My daughter is 18 and my son is 16 and they use the once-crude device Alexander Graham Bell patented in 1876 to cash cheques, transfer money, deposit funds and pay for virtually anything. It’s a fast, fast, fast generation and the drive-thru, smartphone tapping wave in our wake has no need to slow down, take a breath and talk to Crystal, Fami and Julie while taking out some money or even buying a coffee. And the Big Banks like speed because speed slows down costs — even if that cost includes a slice of a community. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

INSPECTORS NEED CODE OF ‘COMMON SENSE’ Editor: Unfortunately, most home owners undoubtedly face faults in proper construction to their homes not disclosed at the time of purchase. The fault I am addressing was constructed by a shoddy contractor in blatant disregard to the B.C. Building Code and was surprisingly unchecked during construction by City of Kamloops building inspectors. The builder buried a wooden rim joist with concrete only protected by galvanized sheet metal. The sheet metal rusted and started to expose the OSB rim joist. This contravenes many codes — the biggest being common sense. How can a company build so many homes in Kamloops and pride themself as an elite designer/builder? Here lies the dilemma, which party is responsible

During all of my dealings with the “manager of the City’s building

department, I realized his attempt at public relations was only exasperated by his true calling that lies with writing fiction.

”

for the problem with this 11-year-old house? (The new home warranty has expired.) I started by contacting the City of Kamloops building department to hold them responsible, since they must have noted this infraction during many visits/inspections. The city surely exercises due diligence and professionalism, given the great responsibility of inspection. The manager of the department said, “The purpose of city inspections is for providing limited and interim spot checking for reasons of health, safety and the

protection of persons and property.” This is the building code in a nutshell. After being stonewalled for six weeks, the manager and chief inspector granted a site visit to verify the issue. The manager was scripted, ensuring no liability was evident, where the chief inspector seemed more cordial (perhaps he had not become drunk on the self-serving Kool-Aid yet). Procrastination continued, so I involved one of our city councillors and, within two weeks, I received my first formal reply.

In summary, the two building department employees could not ascertain or determine whether this was a violation of the building code and stated it was a maintenance issue. That was contrary to my perception as to what was discussed during the inspection. It was becoming clear why there are so many homes in Kamloops with construction issues. The department’s reputation preceded them, as usual. I corrected the building issue and sent pictures of the violation along with highlighted articles of the building code that pertained to this issue to help educate the manager and chief inspector. Miraculously, he agreed “the work did not meet the code.” During all of my dealings with the manager of the City’s building department, I realized his

attempt at public relations was only exasperated by his true calling that lies with writing fiction. In the future, I implore you and the department to develop some integrity and come up with a statement to truly represent your position and not waste other people’s time. Perhaps you may choose to use the following: “The building department for the City of Kamloops accepts no responsibility or liability, monetarily or professionally, for inspections that may or may not have taken place — consequently allowing flaky and shoddy contractors to contravene the building code. “Please continue to pay our exorbitant permit fees and we will continue to be self-serving revenue generating overpaid paper collectors.” Randy Walter Kamloops

Solar roadway installed at TRU ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University’s sustainability office will be living up to its name a little more this week, thanks to a new solar installation which should produce enough power each year to run the building. The 16 panels, now being installed on a 40-foot stretch of sidewalk between the office and the university’s day care, are the first of two solar roadway prototypes being installed on campus this summer. Produced by Vancouver-based Solar Earth Technologies, the panels are more durable than rooftop solar panels and are designed to be walked on and, eventually, driven over. “A standard solar module is framed, usually it has an aluminum frame around it, and it’s tempered glass that sandwiches the solar cell between them,” said Michael Mehta, a professor in the geography and environmental studies department who has been spearheading the project. “This is a polymer with fibreglass sub-

strates to prevent it from bending and everything else. It’s super strong.” The panels are also textured, so they can be walked on without becoming a safety hazard. They have been lab-tested for resistance to corrosion from salt, damage from shovels, dropped objects and other environmental hazards, Mehta said. “It’s a much harsher environment than a protected roof would be.”

The panels will also have to contend with shade from parked cars and some nearby trees. Mehta said that’s intentional, to allow testing in less than optimum conditions and to see if technology in the panels designed to offset those issues functions as hoped. While rooftops and unobstructed farmland may provide more immediately ideal spots for solar panels, Mehta said improving on-

ground solar technology has its advantages. For one, there’s plenty of concrete and asphalt on which to install panels. He also sees the panels as the first step in creating “smart roads,” where lines for traffic signals, cable, phones and other below-surface infrastructure could all run through embedded solar panels. TRU has been working with Solar Earth

to improve the panels for about two years, and all solar equipment was donated by the company. TRU is covering the costs of installation. In August, volunteer trades students will install 64 more panels in front of the Arts and Education building, in the shape of a compass. Those panels are expected to produce enough energy to power 40 computers for eight hours a day.

Horgan to talk softwood lumber with trade reps in Washington THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — Premier John Horgan is in Washington D.C. for two days of meetings with the Trump administration’s top trade officials. He intends to press to resolve the softwood lumber trade dispute between Canada and the United States. Horgan has met with U.S. Trade Secretary Robert Lighthizer, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Dave Reichert, a congressman from Washington State. Lighthizer is regarded as Trump’s top official in upcoming

North American free trade talks, while Ross is a billionaire banker appointed by Trump and known as a fierce trade opponent. Reichert is the chairman of a committee looking into the modernization of NAFTA. Horgan met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa on Tuesday where the two leaders discussed the need to resolve the trade dispute. The premier also met Canada’s U.S. Ambassador David MacNaughton and B.C.’s special softwood trade envoy David Emerson.

Second supervised injection site to open in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside THE CANADIAN PRESS

KTW FILE PHOTO

The last Canada-U.S. softwood lumber agreement expired in the fall of 2015.

VANCOUVER — Drug users in Vancouver now have the option of using a second federally sanctioned supervised injection facility. The service will be provided daily starting Friday at the Powell Street Getaway, a drop-in centre for people living with mental health and substance-use challenges. Health Canada granted the centre an exemption to the country’s drug laws in May and completed an inspection this week. British Columbia’s Mental Health and Addictions Minister Judy Darcy said the aim of the service is to prevent overdose deaths and connect people with needed services. Insite opened in the same neighbourhood as a stand-alone facility in 2003, when a public health emergency was declared over high rates of HIV in the Downtown Eastside. Vancouver Coastal Health operates both facilities and has asked Health Canada to allow people at the Powell Street Getaway to also be allowed to take drugs in other ways, including snorting them.

B.C. judge rules men accused of human smuggling not guilty THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia Supreme Court judge has found four Sri Lankan men not guilty of human smuggling. Justice Arne Silverman said Thursday that while there was evidence of organized crime in the smuggling operation, he wasn’t satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the men were

connected to any crime. “I have determined that these four accused were asylum seekers and that there is an air of reality to the defence of mutual aid.” The accused — Francis Anthonimuthu Appulonappa, Hamalraj Handasamy, Jeyachandran Kanagarajah and Vignarajah Thevarajah — smiled, laughed and shook hands with their lawyers after the judge

released his ruling. The Crown argued the four accused were in charge of the smuggling operation and out to make a profit on people seeking asylum in Canada. Silverman said the Crown didn’t prove its case. “I am also not satisfied that their actions were to obtain either directly or indirectly a financial or material benefit or that any of the them obtained one.’’

The men were part of a group of 76 men from Sri Lanka who arrived on B.C.’s coast in October 2009. They travelled about 45 days across the Pacific Ocean seeking refuge in Canada from a civil war that ravaged their homeland, Silverman said in his decision. Defence lawyers told the trial their clients were trying to escape poor living conditions and seeking a better life.

In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that people providing humanitarian aid, including family members, were exempt from smuggling laws. But the Crown told the trial the top court’s exemptions didn’t apply because the accused had a role in organizing and executing the voyage, which it said was a money-making scheme costing migrants thousands of dollars.

Report: prevention, disaster management key lessons from Fort McMurray wildfire THE CANADIAN PRESS

FORT MCMURRAY — A report on lessons learned from the Fort McMurray wildfire recommends improved prevention measures along with better disaster management and evacuation planning. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo commissioned the KPMG review following the fire in May 2016 that forced about 88,000 people to flee the area in northeastern Alberta. Mayor Melissa Blake said other communities in Canada facing the threat of wildfires can learn from Fort McMurray’s experience by stepping up prevention work such as clearing trees and brush from around homes. Blake said there was pushback from residents about treeclearing before the disaster that torched more than 2,500 homes and caused $3.6 billion in insured property damage. But since the fire, people have become more open to the idea. “Unfortunately what we have experienced in the community is that when you take trees off of the greenbelt people

get quite concerned and agitated by it,” Blake said. “Fire-smarting is absolutely a critical component to helping to mitigate.’’ The report said in the years leading up to the fire very little was spent on wildfire prevention programs in the region. Since the disaster, Alberta and the Red Cross have pledged $14 million for mitigation efforts. The report said the municipality did a good job protecting people’s safety and noted nobody died as a direct result of the wildfire. Two people were killed in a traffic accident during the evacuation. It recommends key emergency leaders take more training, pass on their knowledge to staff and use a command system to better coordinate how a disaster is managed. Fire Chief Jody Butz said it is possible residents could have been given clearer information earlier about the need to evacuate on May 3 if there had been better command and control. Butz said the municipality has bolstered training and strength-

ened its emergency management plans since the fire. “This report has given us the perspective that we needed to be able to take a hard look at the areas we need to improve upon,’’ he said. “We are not going to shy away from addressing these issues as we have a duty to the residents to ensure that we are doing our part to make our region both safe and resilient.” The report recommends other communities in the region, including First Nations, should be included in evacuation planning. KPMG also says the municipality should include a pet rescue program in its emergency management plan. During the wildfire, volunteers and others saved or looked after more than 1,600 dogs, cats and reptiles. The municipality said it accepts all the report’s recommendations and is already working to put them into effect. The Fort McMurray report comes as 148 wildfires burn in British Columbia, forcing thousands of people from their homes.

The partners of Gillespie & Company LLP are pleased to announce that Erin N. Hunter has joined the firm as an associate. Erin completed her Bachelor of Science in Forestry at the University of British Columbia and worked as a professional forester in Kamloops prior to obtaining her Juris Doctor from Thompson Rivers University in 2015. After law school, Erin completed a judicial clerkship with the BC Supreme Court in Victoria, and articled at an international law firm in Vancouver. Erin was called to the British Columbia bar in January, and joined the firm in April of this year.

Saskatoon Health Region ‘deeply sorry’ for Indigenous tubal ligation coercion THE CANADIAN PRESS

The report was authored by Yvonne Boyer — a lawyer

Boyer and Bartlett’s report recounts the experiences of seven women who described feeling powerless, discriminated against and like they lost their womanhood.

Many said they did not understand the operation, which involves clamping or severing the fallopian tubes, was a permanent form of birth control. The report’s authors make a number of calls to action, such as cultural training and an intensive support centre for vulnerable pregnant Indigenous women. “On behalf of

Saskatoon Health Region, we are deeply sorry for what these women experienced, and for any other women in our community who had similar experiences, but were unable to come forward,’’ said Jackie Mann, vice-president of integrated health services at the Saskatoon Health Region. “The report states that racism exists

First Nations chiefs ‘divided’ on national inquiry KRISTY KIRKUP

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — First Nations leaders are divided on what to do about the troubled inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde says. Some want a reset of the commission while others want resignations from the four commissioners, Bellegarde said Thursday in an interview with The Canadian Press prior to a vote on resolutions at a Regina meeting of chiefs. Bellegarde is steering a middle course, saying the commission needs to focus all of

its energy on ensuring the stories of families are front and centre, adding it is critical for the commission to improve communications going forward. “Our chiefs are divided,’’ he said. “Some want a total reset, some want to start fresh and then there are others that are saying ‘You know, we should be empowering those commissioners, we should be supporting those commissioners, we should be praying for those commissioners because they have a tough job, they’re dealing with hurt and pain’.” The inquiry has spent weeks fending off criticism from some families who have loudly expressed concern about the process and the recent resignations of senior staff-

ers and a commissioner, Marilyn Poitras. Two of the remaining commissioners — Michele Audette and Brian Eyolfson — addressed some of those concerns directly Wednesday night at the AFN annual meeting in Regina. There are also family members encouraging the commissioners, Audette said Wednesday. “There’s a silent group that are saying ‘stay, don’t give up’,’’ she told reporters. “We hear that too.” Another theme that emerged at the meeting is concern about police failing to conduct adequate investigations into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada, Bellegarde said Thursday, adding policing must be a prior-

FAITH

Trust plus obedience equals faith

“

Whatever he says to you, do it” (John 2:5). These are the words uttered by Mary, the mother of Jesus, at a wedding feast in Cana, where Jesus did his first miracle of turning water into wine. Regular students of the Bible are aware of what followed next. An abundance of wine flowed and satisfied the feastgoers to the point of jubilation. Some think a life of full trust means a donothing life. Instead, it means a life of implicit obedience as the servants at the feast demonstrated. Trust in God does not just mean doing some things, but to do “whatever He says.” The gospels say Jesus “learnt obedience” and he knew the blessedness of it. We shall too, if we follow his words.

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

Mary knew much about her dear son. She knew Jesus would never ask anyone to do anything that is not for their good. She knew also knew that what Jesus says is worth doing. When we know as much of Jesus as his mother did, we shall not only long to do ourselves everything he says, but we would lead others to do the same. To obey is a happy thing when it is Jesus that we obey.

Obeying at once is comparatively easy, but if we wait, it becomes harder. A little longer and it becomes drudgery. Jesus’ command to the servants was: “Fill the water pots with water.” Mary did not know what he would say, but we read that the servants, following his strange command, filled the huge vats to the brim. They did not mind the hard work. Perhaps some of us would have cheated ourselves by filling them only half full. But we ought not to obey the Lord in part but with a brimful obedience. Then Jesus said: “Draw out now.” How strange the instruction must have sounded to supply quality wine to the governor of the feast and dignified guests. But because Jesus

said it, they did it. They drew the water out, now reconstituted as wine. If they had reasoned or refused, there could have been no more drink. They trusted a stranger’s words. From this incident of water-turned-intowine, we learn about the attitude of our soul. This is echoed in Hebrews 12:2: “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.” We need to keep fixing our eyes on Jesus moment by moment, if it is to be an effectual fixing. We cannot just take a look and turn away. If we want to know the time, we look at a clock. But that look would be of no avail few minutes later. We have to look again and again. Similarly, we must keep looking continually to Jesus. Psalm 112:7 says of the good man: “He will

not fear evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” The person who trusts in the Lord will undoubtedly have “evil tidings” down the road, but he will not be moved. It is such a blessed experience that if an archangel were to tell us we were to have no more trouble, we would not thank him. Christ learned obedience by suffering. Should his followers shrink from them? If we hope for the companionship of God throughout eternity, He would expect the disciplined ones down here on earth in His own ways. We can’t have a stock of grace. We want our hearts just fixed on Him who gives grace. What the Lord wants is to keep us as chronic beggars. All we have we receive from Him anyway.

I am a poor beggar, but I have my hand on the open purse of a true friend by my side who is both able and willing to supply my need. He keeps telling me to take as much as I want. The more we take, the better He likes it. We shall always have enough moment by moment, but we shall never have more than enough required for the moment. The moment a Christian’s heart is unfixed and he begins to doubt, murmur and regret God’s will, he is on the high road to distrust and unbelief. The more trouble we have the more we are to repose on Jesus. If we have very many troubles and the Lord were to say, “I only can undertake half of the,” our situation would indeed be a sad one. But He is willing to

take every trouble from us and He does with much love and ease. Perhaps some of us would say, “I have no faith.” This is not true, though we have very little. Perhaps we think we must wait until we have strong faith. Where do we find this argument in the Bible? We must make use of the faith we have. Afterwards, we may pray for more. If we don’t exercise the faith we have, we are almost mocking God by asking for more. Let’s put all in the hand of the Lord, remembering that unbelief is sin. Let us throw ourselves at His feet with whatever little or much faith we possess. And let us start today. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com

Hillside home opener a grudge match MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

either team needed extra motivation, but the Kamloops Broncos and Valley Huskers are finding oodles of it in the media. Kamloops and Valley kick off their B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) seasons at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, with game time set for 6 p.m. and Environment Canada calling for sunny skies and temperatures around 32 C. Last week, Huskers’ defensive lineman Travis Dietrich encouraged fans from Chilliwack to make the drive to the Tournament Capital to watch his team kick the Broncos’ butt, a friendly jab that found its mark. “I find it to be a lot of disrespect from a team that hasn’t won a game in two years to come and be saying this in the newspaper [Chilliwack Progress],” said Maximilian Joseph, the Broncos’ first-year receiver who is already being pegged as a rookie of the year candidate. Earlier this week, former Okanagan Sun general manager and Huskers’ head coach Howie Zaron picked Valley and Kamloops to finish last and second-last, respectively, in a press release issued by the BCFC. He cited a lack of balance on both sides of the ball in Kamloops, along with undersized linemen and a questionable defence. The comments are not unfair, considering the Broncos posted a 2-8 record last season, their only wins coming against the 0-10 Huskers, but coaches

are always looking for fuel. “They [the BCFC] just have to do what they need to do,” Broncos’ bench boss Brad Yamaoka said. “They’re trying to promote the league. If they have to tear a couple teams down with them, so be it. “We’re going to go out there and play football. Everybody can say whatever they want. The proof is in the pudding. Hopefully, we’ll make them change their tune for Week 2.” Bob Reist took the head coaching reins in Chilliwack in January and is charged with turning around a franchise that last won a game in 2014. “I don’t think we pay too much

attention to the comments being made in the media about us,” said Reist, formerly a linebackers/special teams coach with the Manitoba Bisons. “Are we going to turn it around and go 10-0? That’s highly unlikely, but we think we’re fielding a competitive team, we’ve had a good training camp and we’re ready to go.” If the Broncos and Huskers plan to reach the post-season, they cannot afford to lose games they play against each other. The matchup Saturday already carried that weight. It’s tipping the scales with a few extra pounds now. “Especially with a team like

Chilliwack, who was 0-10, releasing a quote that says they’re going to come to our home field and kick our butts . . . it’s definitely added motivation to us,” said Colby Henkel, the Broncos’ starting quarterback and 2016 Canadian Junior Football League rookie of the year. “I don’t think our O-line is too small. Everyone is ruling us out, but I think we’ve got a lot of heart up front and we can get through pretty much any team we want to, if we put our minds to it.” Reist said his team’s swagger is one of its attributes and Dietrich’s comments reflect his charges’ confidence. “If you don’t have confidence

going into Week 1, you probably didn’t have a very good training camp,” Reist said. “We’ve got a bit of a chip on our shoulder, with the history of this program. “We’re not too worried about the comments. Nothing he said was malicious. I’m sure Kamloops is saying similar things in their camp.” The talking will be done on the field on Saturday. “It’s a huge game,” Reist said. “We talked a lot leading up to this about how we’re trying to change our culture. “Our goal is to make the playoffs. Getting off to the right start goes a long way in helping us achieve our goal.”

Wood a shooting star in track and field MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bryson Wood noticed he was burning past defenders on the pitch, clearly among the fastest players in his Kamloops Youth Soccer Association age group. He decided to give track and field a try. “That was a wise decision,” said Shane Wiebe, the Kamloops Track and Field Club’s sprints, jumps and hurdles coach. Wood, 15, had an excellent showing in the 14- and 15-year-old midget division at the BC Athletics Track and Field Championships Jamboree, held in Coquitlam earlier this month. He won a gold medal in long jump with a leap of 6.10 metres and three silver medals — in hammer throw, with a toss of 49.77 metres; in the 300-metre race, with a

time of 36.90 seconds; and in the 200-metre race, with a time of 23.68 seconds. “When I got into track, I started win-

ning, so I decided to drop soccer last year,” Wood said. “Back then, I was doing more events than I am now. Now that I’ve narrowed

it down, it’s getting easier to perform better at each meet.” With less than two years of track-andfield experience under

his belt, Wood has established himself as one of the province’s top prospects and his results this season prove it. In his age division in 2017, he ranks first in B.C. in long jump with a leap of 6.29 metres and second in three disciplines — the 200-metre, with a time of 23.39 seconds; 300-metre, with a time of 36.90 seconds; and hammer throw, with a heave of 51.03 metres. “He is an odd bird in that the hammer throw, long jump and 300 are all very different events,” Wiebe said. “Most of the guys he’s competing against are specialized, running 200s and 300s, or doing long jump and triple jump, sort of staying within their event groups. “He’s a very powerful athlete. He’s got speed. He’s got it all.” It doesn’t hurt Wood to have an Olympic bronze medallist for a throws coach, Dylan Armstrong. “It’s pretty crazy,” Wood said. “At first,

I didn’t really realize how big a deal it was to have someone like that coaching me. Then I went to a few meets and people came over and asked for his autograph. It’s almost surreal I have him as a coach.” Wood eclipsed the provincial standards required in both long jump and hammer throw to compete at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships, which run from Aug. 11 to Aug. 13 in Brandon. “Apparently, we haven’t had a team member from our club at this level make a provincial team in about five years,” Wiebe said. “We’re celebrating this. This is a big deal.” He will compete for B.C. in long jump, not the hammer throw, and will also run the 300m and possibly join a relay team. “I’m really looking forward to nationals,” Wood said. “It’s an opportunity for me to improve and generate my future with track.” Wood is heading into Grade 10 at Valleyview secondary in the fall, leaving him with plenty of time to figure out which events he wants to specialize in. “We’re giving him some room to explore,” Wiebe said. “Part of it is about having fun, learning about yourself and where you can excel.” Wood said he is aiming to secure a university or college scholarship in the next few years and Wiebe is confident international

competition is in his future. “We’d love to start a program here,” Wiebe said. “We’ve got the only indoor facility in all of B.C. It would be such an amazing thing to stay on here, rather than shipping him off to another coach in another program.” Next season will be pivotal for Wood, who will jump up to the youth division in club competition, matching up against 16- and 17-year-old athletes, while ruling the roost in high-school action in the Grade 9 and Grade 10 division. “Next year, the 300-metre moves to a 400-metre,” Wood said. “There are a few guys from B.C. this year who are running really good 400s. I’m excited to be running against them.” Given his relative inexperience in track and field, Wiebe is looking forward to watching the strides his pupil will make in the coming years. “He’s got every possibility to really come away with some good performances at nationals,” Wiebe said. “He’s a workhorse.”

Not bad, coach

Wiebe qualified to compete in weight throw, shot put, discus and javelin at the Canadian Masters Outdoor Championships, which run on the same weekend as the Legion youth nationals. He is ranked first in the country in the 45to 49-year-old division in weight throw and shot put, and second in discus and javelin.

Toledo to receive Larry Ashley Award

Valdez to start again

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kamloops Blazers’ trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson will be honoured on Friday at the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Penticton. Robinson will be given the Larry Ashley Award, handed to a trainer or equipment manager who has demonstrated a commitment to community sports by helping young players in achieving their goals and aspirations. “It means a tonne,” Robinson said. “Professionally, it doesn’t get any better. Larry Ashley at his prime was the pinnacle of trainers. To have my name in the same breath as his is amazing. He’s a lot like the Wayne Gretzky of trainers.” The humanitarian award is handed out in memory of Ashley, a head trainer in the NHL for 16 years who died of cancer in September of 1995. Those eligible must have either been born in B.C. or have spent a minimum of 10 years of service in the province. Robinson left the Swift Current Broncos to join the Vancouver Giants in time for the 2001-2002 campaign and spent four seasons there before coming to Kamloops in 2005-2006. “I was hoping I’d get the call sometime in my life,” Robinson said. “Now that it’s happened, it’s a huge honour. I’m just so thrilled and excited.” Robinson celebrated 1,500 games as a WHL trainer in February. The Blazers

TORONTO — Cesar Valdez has earned another start with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 32-year-old right-hander posted his first major-league win in more than seven years, throwing six strong innings in a 4-1 win Tuesday over Oakland. Manager John Gibbons says Valdez will likely start Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. “I tell you what, he’s got something,’’ Gibbons said prior to Thursday’s afternoon game against the Athletics. “He can throw anything at any time, he changes arm angles. He’s very confident too. “I like what I’ve seen.’’ Filling in for the injured Aaron Sanchez, Valdez gave up one run on five hits with four strikeouts and one walk in a surprisingly smooth 77-pitch outing featuring 51 strikes. His only other win came in his majorleague debut May 3, 2010, for Arizona over Houston. Valdez had previously made four relief appearances for the Jays following his acquisition via waivers from Oakland on May 5. His only other start this season was a no-decision April 20 pitching for the Oakland Athletics. Toronto (48-54) earned its second straight walk-off victory over Oakland on Thursday. A grand-slam from Steve Pearce secured an 8-4 win in the 10th inning.

recognized the feat during a break from a game against the Kelowna Rockets at Sandman Centre. “It’s been a great year for me,” Robinson said. “I’m not used to being in the limelight. To get two things come across in the same calendar year is pretty crazy.” Thomas Gradin, Tony Tanti, Dave Nonis, Brad Lazarowich, Ron Toigo (who brought Robinson to Vancouver in 2001),

John Shannon and the 1996-1997 Allan Cup champion Powell River Regals will be inducted Friday at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Robinson, never afraid of the microphone, will say a few words after accepting the award. “They want me to do a quick little thing,” he said. “I’ve got one of my little jokes lined up to get everyone laughing a bit and we’ll go from there.”

City council agreed to pay more than it has in the past to host B.C. Lions’ training camp, inking a threeyear deal that will keep the Leos in Kamloops through 2020. The Lions have been coming to Kamloops since 2010, with the city paying $40,000 annually for the preseason CFL camp. Jeff Putnam, the City of Kamloops’ parks and civic facilities manager, said the Lions will receive $45,000 in 2018, $50,000 in 2019 and $55,000 in 2020. “We are over-the-top thrilled about it,” Putnam said. “We heard rumours that other communities were knocking on their doors. We know that’s a fact. “We believe in our negotiations that we put our best foot forward and reminded all the parties of the advantages Kamloops has. Our facilities and our hosting ability won the day.” After eight years in Kamloops, it would be understandable if the Lions took training camp elsewhere. They are B.C.’s team, after all. Nanaimo, Prince George, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Courtenay and Kelowna are among the cities rumoured to be interested in intercepting the pre-season festivities. “They all thought they were in the running for it and they all have fine facilities,” Putnam said. “Vernon has a great facility now, as well. The competition was severe. We’re fortunate they decided to stay in Kamloops. We set that bar at a certain level.” There is an estimated economic spinoff of $300,000 per year into the community, according to the city. Putnam was asked where that number comes from. The Lions are here for nearly a month, spending money at restaurants, night clubs, the movies and malls, he said, and, “you name it, there is a gamut of companies they do business with, rental companies for vehicles, scissor-lift companies for camera crews, photographers, that type of thing.” B.C. also hosts FanFest at each training camp, attracting tourists to the city and its hotels and restaurants, Putnam said. “But what we get the best value from, in my opinion, is the national exposure we get from media that comes here to cover camp,” Putnam said. “A football camp is the best training camp you can host as a community. They’re here for so long. NHL camps are two-and-a-half days on the ice and they’re gone.” TSN 1040 broadcasted live during camp in June from Match Eatery and Public House inside Cascades Casino and on-air personalities were often heard singing the city’s praises. Terms of the deal dictate Kamloops is promoted in game programs and on the Jumbotron

at Lions’ home games at BC Place Stadium and the city receives $10,000 in tickets, which are sold or given to charities for fundraising. The Leos practise at Hillside Stadium, use the Tournament Capital Centre’s facilities and sleep and eat at Thompson Rivers University, a onestop shop that is proving tough for other communities to beat. Camp came to Kamloops in 2010 on a three-year deal with an option for 2013, which was exercised. The Leos announced in February 2013 they would stay in Kamloops through 2014. In May 2014, the city and the Lions confirmed camp would be held in the River City in 2015. The two sides continued to talk about a longer-term extension, the one announced in Sept. 2014 that kept the Lions here through 2017. “It’s always tough because you don’t want to be locked into one place because people feel they’d like to share what you’re giving to Kamloops, but you also have to look at your own needs, the club’s needs, the players’ needs and the relationships,” Lions’ head coach and GM Wally Buono told KTW. “When it comes to the combination of facilities, community support and climate, there is no comparison to being in Kamloops each June.”

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

Obituaries & In Memoriam “Sir” Ernie Smith

March 10, 1924 - July 23, 2017 “Sir” Ernie died peacefully in the hospital with wife Delyse by his side. He’s now at peace in the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was the 3rd youngest born to Joseph and Mary Schmidt in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. At the age of 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy serving in WWII in theatres of war in North Africa, Italy, Greece and Albania. Specializing in underwater demolition and as Captain of a landing craft, he landed with Canadian troops at Juno Beach in Normandy on D-Day and made many other landings on other beaches with allied troops including the famous “Gurkhas”. His many service metals included a special Greek Liberation medal for his role in evacuating women and children in Greece. In August 2015, he was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour for his professional involvement in the liberation of France. He worked for the Haney Correctional Facility and Port Moody as recreational director for many years. Ernie loved to talk to anyone about almost anything, he was like a living encyclopedia in many ways. Magic and being “Santa” were two of his many talents and he was affectionately called “Mr Magic” and Santa. He will always be remembered for bringing laughter and joy to children and adults alike for his many tricks and stories he loved to share. As a boy, he spent many hours enjoying hockey on the outdoor rinks in his Saskatoon neighbourhood with his buddies, many of whom became NHL players, including two of his brothers who played for Vancouver Canucks and other American teams. After the war, Ernie coached and managed professional and amateur hockey teams in SK. and BC. Swimming being a sport he loved, he coached young disabled youth and managed outdoor and indoor pools in the

Lower Mainland, as well as being a Diving judge in the Olympics. As a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion he loved to be with other veterans to share wartime experiences.

Lindsay Diane Quelch October 10, 1981 ~ July 05, 2017 Lindsay Diane Quelch of Kamloops, BC passed away on Wednesday, July 05, 2017 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops.

One of the places he loved to spend time was in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, friends there have always been considered “extended family”. Ernie and Delyse where married October 26, 1986 in this beautiful paradise. Before moving to Kamloops in 1991 they lived briefly in Coquitlam and Burnaby. Survived by his loving wife Delyse, son David (Natalie), daughter Lauri (Paul) and their mother Jeanne, step-sons Brent (Christine), Bryon (Shanna), Robert, Kevin (Kim), grandchildren Tanya (Mike), Lacy, Trisha (Kyle), Lindsay (Jordyn), Leah, Alex, Brian, Jasra, Isobelle, Micky, Jaedyn, Kevin Jr, George and Pippa as well as nine precious great-grandchildren. Brothers and sisters-in-law Don and Simone, Gerry and Detty, Michelle, Bryan, Patricia and Carl; many dearly loved nephew, nieces, cousins and friends. Predeceased by his daughter Linda, parents, five brothers, three sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins. A Celebration of Ernie’s Life with Hawaiian theme will be held on Friday, August 25, 2017 at 11:30 am at Gateway City Church, 163 Oriole Drive in Valleyview, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations to New Life Community or charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Linzy was born and raised in Kamloops. After graduation, she moved to the coast and began her career in the Tourism Industry. She had a zest for life that wasn’t main stream. Her first few years after college took her to some amazing places and adventures - from creating meals on a floating fishing resort to a medic assistant at a diamond mine. Her wanderlust eventually led her to Field, BC. She enjoyed life among the Rockies for 5 years – a special place to her – a place where her son Max was born and many new friends and memories were made. In 2014, she returned to Kamloops. Cooking and planning gourmet dishes for her friends and family became one of her greatest joys as well as spending time in her garden and yard. There was immense adoration for her two dogs but she treated all animals with kindness. She was a unique, extremely giving person with a huge heart and a lovely soul - her smile and spirit will remain forever with those who knew and loved her. There is solace in knowing she is now resting peacefully with her father Victor. Linzy is survived by her two sons Keenan Del Quelch and Max Victor McMillan, her mother Patricia Quelch, her grandmother Eleanor Pedlar who was very dear to her, Max’s father Kirk McMillan as well as close friends and relatives. A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, July 29, 2017 at 5:00 pm at 101 Paul Rd., Kamloops. Her family wishes to thank all of those who cared so wonderfully for her while in the hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Kamloops Hospice, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

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.

In Loving Memory Of Ellen Meek Who left us on July 12, 2017

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.

Carole was born in Vancouver, BC and shortly after birth, her family moved to Edmonton, AB. She completed High School and graduated from Business College in 1957. She was a very happy person, who liked to cook and who loved dogs. She enjoyed making special treats and cakes in the Festive Season for family and friends. Her favorite places for holidays were Hawaii and Las Vegas. She will always be remembered by family, friends and her best friend, her husband Robert (DEN).

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. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, the other died with you.

Q. How many urns can we bury in Murray’s plot? A. It varies from cemetery to cemetery. Some allow two on top of Murray’s body, some more, some none! In a cremation plot, some cemeteries allow just one set of ashes, some allow two. We check on this for clients.

I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is heartache that never goes away. Sadly missed by family and friends.

His final venture brought him to Kamloops to be closer to family and to start working as maintenance supervisor at Overlander Residential Care. Dean was also an active member of the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge. He had a wonderful sense of humor and everyone who knew him will miss his fun loving demeanor. In the time he was given, Dean left behind wonderful memories in the hearts of all who’s lives he touched. Dean is survived by his mom Doreen Tevely, step-mom Kathy Rosenau, step-brother Michael and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many great friends. He is predeceased by his father Wayne Rosenau and step-father Les Tevely.

by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

“Rest in Peace Kind Soul” A Celebration of Dean’s Life will be held at a later date.

James B. Currall

December 11, 1943 - July 6, 2017 Jim Currall, known to friends as Currly or Birdman, passed away on July 6, 2017.

In Loving Memory of Mathew Justin Priestley July 13, 1978 - July 31, 1993 We often sit and think of you, And of the day you died. Many nights we dream of you, Many nights we’ve cried. We think of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We though about you yesterday, And the day before that too. Our hearts still ache with sadness, And secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.

Forever Missed, Forever Loved Dad, Mom, Jesse and Family.

Jim was born in Vancouver but spent his life in Kamloops. He is predeceased by his parents Reginald and Dorothy (Warren) Currall, his nephew Gabriel Davis and his beloved ferrets. Jim is survived by his daughters Dawn and Debbie, sister Muriel (Currall) Davis (Les), nieces Angela (Suzanne) and Maxine (Nils), nephews Darrin (Jane) and Daniel, as well as many grandnieces and nephews. Jim was a talented design draftsman (Old’s Cool Design & Drafting) and surveyor inspector - a man of many gifts. He had an inventor’s mind - he even designed, but never built, his own dream motorcycle, “The Wayward Wind.” Jim built bicycles as a hobby, was a truly brilliant artist and had an amazing green thumb. He loved animals and always had pets, from birds to fish and his latest, ferrets; he even once had a monkey! Jim will be remembered by his friends and family for his interesting combination of sarcasm, humour and seriousness. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Greyhaven.bc.ca.

Brian Stuart 1951 – 2017

Brian Lee Stuart, 66, died peacefully at home on July 24, 2017 surrounded by family. Brian was born on February 4, 1951 in Hardisty, Alberta and grew up on the family farm with his parents Bud and Doreen and four brothers John, George, Larry and Steven. As a young man, Brian attended Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, met Sandi, fell madly in love, dropped out of instrumentation and got hitched in 1973. Soon after, their first born son Brad was introduced to the world in 1977 and Trevor made his entrance in 1978. Brian started his career with NCR in 1973 which eventually brought them to Vancouver, BC. After a while, the family settled in Kamloops until Brian retired in 2006 and he and Sandi moved to Gun Lake the year after. Brian loved to work with his hands and designed and built his and Sandi’s dream home on Gun Lake. He enjoyed spending time tinkering and visiting in his shop, hunting, fishing, quading and snowmobiling. Eventually, in 2015, Brian and Sandi moved back to Kamloops to be near family.

Messages can be sent to jimcurrallcondolences@gmail.com

Brian is survived by his wife of 44 years Sandi, his son Brad (Jen) and grandson Kaden, his younger son Trevor (Jill) and his grandson Carson and granddaughter Kate.

BACK STAGE WITH STAGE ONE

Summer theatre school to perform The Trials of Robin Hood

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

tage One Theatre School is offering a tongue-in-cheek take on the folklore outlaw who robs from the rich and gives to the poor. This summer’s Western Canada Theatre Stage One performance class is inviting the public to The Trials of Robin Hood. The comedy sees Robin Hood tried before King Richard. “Robin Hood tells his version of events. They’re told Maid Marian’s version of events and the Sheriff of Nottingham’s,” said Stage One instructor and Western Canada Theatre education co-ordinator Terri Runnalls. “So, it’s mainly about the Robin Hood story, but just set in front of the king.” Youngsters ages 10 to 18 are participating in the two-week theatre camp, an intensive program that culminates with three public performances. “It’s an amazing two weeks, to watch that 18 kids can do this in a time that adults don’t do this,” Runnalls said. “It’s impressive.” Runnalls said The Trials of Robin Hood offers kids the opportunity to take on multiple characters. There was a wait list to get into the camp, but WCT wants kids to get plenty of experience on stage. Bailey Frey is juggling four roles. “It’s all in a row I have to play those characters,” he told KTW. “I’m changing between one character and another character, different voice and different actions and so it’s quick because it’s one line in between each one.”

He’s up for the challenge, noting he has Stage One experience under his belt, which is part of the requirement to be admitted into the upper-level intensive program. “Each time you do it, it’s just as exciting as the first time,” said 13-year-old Lauren Fesenko. When KTW met up with the class on Monday, work was well underway with help from five instructors and one student who returned this summer to help after attending Stage One for multiple years. “Which is really cool,”

Runnalls said. “Obviously in our program we love that when they come back and then they start helping out backstage or technically.” The Friday and Saturday performances are admission by donation. Half of the proceeds benefit the Henry Vandenberghe Memorial Bursary, which helps students in financial need attend Stage One, while the other half will this year be donated to the Red

Cross for wildfire emergency relief efforts. “Speaking with my artistic director James McDonald, we have been talking a lot about how we can help evacuees in the city. We know it’s tough because a lot of those evacuees need essentials,” Runnalls said. “Not always do free performances come on their radar. They have lots of other important things going on at this time. Western Canada Theatre is on a hiatus, it’s not our time for shows. Stage One thought it could help.” Stage One Theatre School

evolved from Western Canada Youth Theatre, brainchild of founding artistic director Tom Kerr in the 1960s. In the last 20 years, the programming expanded from weekly night classes and workshops to year-round theatre education. The Trials of Robin Hood shows on Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building at Thompson Rivers University.

Music in the Park

Q&A with Sam Spades

LEFT TO RIGHT: John Richards (upright bass), Gregory Hann (drums), Trevor McNeely (lead guitar and vocals) and Sam Heine (guitar and lead vocals) make up the Edmonton rock band Sam Spades, en route to perform in Kamloops next week. JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW recently spoke with Trevor McNeely from the band Sam Spades, which is performing during Music in the Park on Tuesday, Aug. 1. The free show is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Riverside Park.

ORIGINS

Sam Spades is an Edmonton-based band that began about three years ago with three members. John Richards (upright bass), Greg Hanns (drums) and Sam Heine (guitar and lead vocals) formed the group, which was named after the lead character in Dashiell Hammett’s 1930s pulp detective novel The Maltese Falcon. “I joined about a year later,” said Trevor B. McNeely, noting they met while studying their respective instruments at MacEwan University. They were looking to grow and flesh out their sound with a lead guitarist. These days, McNeely splits his time between the band and teaching guitar lessons. Fall and winter months are

dedicated to his students but once summer hits: “You’re on the road,” he said. While admittedly biased, McNeely said Edmonton offers a relatively small but supportive music community. “I think Edmonton is a great place for bands,” he said. He noted a rough patch in recent years due to venue closures, but said additional locations have popped up in the last year.

MUSIC

Some people describe Sam Spades as rockabilly — early rock and roll that blends country and blues. The group’s musical influences include JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge, Junior Kimbrough, Albert King and Alabama Shakes, but each band member brings with them their own personal tastes. “Personally, I brought more of a psychedelic and country influence to the band,” McNeely said. “We all pull from different places.” The group’s next album will sound a bit different — more traditional blues and rock and roll. With a multitude of influences and styles, McNeely doesn’t

like to pin the band into a corner. “I just like to call it rock and roll music,” he said. McNeely plays multiple kinds of guitar, including the steel variety. Designed to be played sitting down, it is supported on a stand and adds a “bit more of a country sound” via a slide technique. Five or six of the band’s songs feature the steel guitar and McNeely adds it to unplugged performances to mix up arrangements.

UP NEXT

McNeely said the band has been busy working on a new record, which is expected to be released in January of 2018. Before then, the group will be stopping in Kamloops to perform a summer gig during Music in the Park and making its way to play at wineries in the Okanagan. “I’ve never played in Kamloops,” McNeely said. Future Music in the Park acts include: Harpdog Brown and the Travelling Blues Show (Aug. 2), Hip Replacements (Aug. 3), Trama Rock (Aug. 4) and Fully Loaded (Aug. 5).

6th Annual “Empty Toy Box” Campaign

ot all comics are for kids just as not all of the stories in them are suitable for every audience. That doesn’t mean they aren’t great stories worth venturing outside of your comfort zone. This week, I’ve steered away from my RANDY preferred superhero WAGNER genre and picked up Kill Comic or Be Killed, Volume 1. KAM The book is the most recent collaboration from the talented creators Ed Brubaker (writer) and Sean Phillips (artist), often known for their crime and noir stories. Different than their previous works, the series is ongoing, as opposed to a pre-planned number of issues telling a specific story. This title is not for kids, due to content, coarse language, suggestive scenes and some nudity. Dylan is the protagonist of Kill or Be Killed — a recently turned vigilante. The 28-year-old college student is struggling with studies, depression and his roommate dating his longtime best friend, Kira. One evening, Dylan has had enough and decides to jump off the top of his apartment building. He comes to his senses before leaping — but not soon enough. Momentum carries him over the edge but Dylan miraculously survives the fall. Shocked and slightly delirious, he heads to bed only to be woken in the middle of the night by what he believes to be a shadowy demon who tells him it intervened to save his life. The figure tells him he must now kill another person every month or his own life will be forfeited. With all the troubles in the news and limited choice, Dylan must find some candidate to fulfill his grim bargain. There are plenty of bad people in the world, but are they bad enough to warrant murder to prolong his life? Even if he can find a suitable victim, how is he going to be able to pull it off? He doesn't own a gun, so how easy is it to get one? Dylan’s struggles are now different and he needs to find a way to kill or be killed. Phillips’ illustrations are on par with his usual excellence, a gritty style that compliments the written subject matter. He impresses me with his ability to accurately convey changing facial expressions on the same character over several panels, proving a picture can be worth 1,000 words. Elizabeth Breitweiser is the colour artist. She mostly used a subdued moody palette that matches the tone of the story and drawings to cement this graphic novel into a great piece. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this title and I’m definitely looking forward to future volumes of Kill or Be Killed. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics.

Jungle Book offers family REVIEW fun in Prince Charles Park KTW

This weekend last chance to catch the outdoor summer theatre JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Corina Akeson’s eyes say it all — personifying The Jungle Book’s villainous tiger, Shere Kahn. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

curious toddler and kids throwing a football during intermission perhaps best sums up a Wednesday night performance of The Jungle Book in Prince Charles Park. The classic Rudyard Kipling story reworked by Greg Banks was adapted for Project X Theatre’s annual summer theatre festival in the park. Less musically inclined than its Disney counterpart — you won’t hear The Bare Necessities, except for an instrumental variation after the cast takes a bow — but the story left kids laughing out loud to quick-witted quips from Baloo the bear, portrayed by Kamloops’ own Wyatt Purcha, and waddling up to the stage for a closer look at the jungle set designed by Jared Raschke. That set was tested throughout the twohour production, as Mowgli (played first by Maddin Lidder and then by Dylan Floyde as the older man-cub) ran circles, climbed trees, jumped through caves and hopped on top of Purcha for multiple bear hugs. Those bear hugs made for “awhh”inducing moments and the show’s overall cuteness quality added

to its G-rating. Adults who remember Project X Theatre’s take on the Rocky Horror Picture Show in recent years should know this one is more for the kids. (I recommend adults without youngsters take in this weekend’s always-hilarious improv night.) Parents, however, can provide a valuable takeaway for children — the meaning of family, which comes in many sizes, forms and, in this case, species. In the story, Mowgli grows up and yearns to leave the group of animals that has taken care of him since he was discovered in the jungle at an early age. He seeks to find his place in the world, but ultimately recognizes the value of his adopted jungle family — Bagheera the panther, played by Andrew Cooper, Baloo and a pack of wolves. Meanwhile, the story’s antagonist was portrayed by Corina Akeson, who hails from

Vancouver and is also the director of X Fest’s other production, Rapunzel. While Akeson’s striped mask signalled to the audience she was portraying a tiger, it was her surreptitious movements on stage that immediately identified her as The Jungle Book’s most villainous character, Shere Kahn. Her eyes said it all — she’s a pro. An understated scene that featured Akeson and Cooper was among the show’s highlights. In portraying two vultures — characters so minuscule to the plot they didn’t even get credits — the two riffed off each other with corny jokes funny enough to get the adults laughing while moving the story along. Set amid blue skies and oversized trees next to a swing set and close enough to multiple ice cream shops — The Jungle Book is the perfect family outing. And don’t forget the football.

Olympian gets flak

Michael Phelps defends Shark Week ‘race’ against great white THE CANADIAN PRESS

Don’t expect an apology from Michael Phelps to TV viewers who were disappointed with his race against a simulated great white shark for a Discovery Channel Shark Week special. The Olympic champion was bested by two seconds Sunday night in Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White. The race didn’t pit

Phelps against a real shark, but rather a

computer-simulated fish based on data on the swimming speed of sharks. Phelps responded to critics in a Facebook Live video on Tuesday. He notes that a shark doesn’t swim in a straight line and suggested a side-by-side race with the predator impossible. He later added that he made it clear before the show aired that he wouldn’t be racing a real shark.

Cineplex joins Topgolf, to open venues in Canada COMPANY DIVERSIFIES WITH DRIVING RANGE COMPLEXES THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Cineplex has signed an exclusive partnership deal to open Topgolf entertainment complexes across the country over the next several years. Topgolf combines a driving range with other games and entertainment options including point-scoring golf games that feature microchipped balls. Locations are typically three-level venues that offer food and drinks,

big screen TVs and music in climatecontrolled hitting bays. There are 33 Topgolf venues operating in the United States and United Kingdom. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The agreement is the latest example of Cineplex’s efforts to diversify beyond movies. In recent years, the theatre chain has hosted video game tournaments and live entertainment in addition to expanding its concession offerings, all in a bid to attract more business.

Huatulco’s eco-tourism a far cry from Cancun CHRIS MCBEATH

SPECIAL TO KTW

he van bumped and cajoled its way up into the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains, kicking pebbles into the jungle precipice from the dirt track and lurching to a standstill every so often for us to view the local wildlife: a tarantula the size of Boris Karloff’s hand, an armadillo waddling out of our way and a rattler warming its length in the Mexican sun. Huatulco (pronounced wah-tool-co) is 400 kilometres south of Acapulco in the state of Oaxaca — a far cry from the party-central excesses of Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. In fact, the folks at Fonatur, Mexico’s staterun tourism organization, would like to keep it that way, having set aside some 40,000 acres as a nature reserve to protect the tropical hillsides, as well as the wild and extensive shorelines — some of the most pristine in Mexico. Against the overindulgent developments like Fonatur’s other successes including Cancun, Baja and Ixtapa, Huatulco’s resort area is still largely underutilized. Yes there are facilities for two cruise ships and several major hotels, but it feels as if the parade has passed by the region. In reality, the parade has yet to come. The name Huatulco

comes from the Hahuatl word cuauhtolco, meaning “the place where the wood is adored.” According to legend, the great civilizing god Quetzalcoatl left the inhabitants of the bay of Santa Cruz, a wooden cross.

Another legend talks of an old, white man with long hair and a beard arriving from the sea. He carried a beautiful timber, like a cross, stayed to teach them many things and when he departed, left them the holy timber.

La Crucecita, Huatulco’s city centre, is charming. It comprises a heritage market square with a church boasting the largest Madonna painted on a ceiling and a good assortment of local restaurants and stores selling trinkets, hand woven rugs and blankets, clothing and jewelry. Huatulco is the only place in Mexico to buy black pottery (clay polished with quartz before firing) and if your Spanish is up for it, bartering is the order of the day. Most visitors, however, do not come to Huatulco for the shopping.

They come for the hospitality of ‘old style’ Mexico, the safety (this community is about as far removed from Mexico City as you can get) and to experience the country’s new style of eco-tourism: birding, diving, golf, mountain climbing or shooting the whitewater rapids of the Rio Capalito, where three different rafting trips are offered based a visitor’s skill level and fear factor. Or you can take an ATV, horse or hardy four-wheeler into the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains in search of their green gold: pluma coffee. This was where our van was heading. February 25 4 days

After an hour of driving, we reached a remote village dating back some 400 years. Another hour of travel and some magnificent waterfalls at the head of the Rio Copilato were a welcome respite to the hot journey. Finally, we arrived at the Lagloria coffee plantation, a ramshackle group of adobe buildings and rather crude processing barrows and slatted drying racks surrounded by 550 acres of tangled bush. At 2,000 metres above sea level, the ecological coffee has acquired a mythical status for its one-of-a-

kind high altitude taste — smooth like chocolate, yet dark and full bodied, without a hint of bitterness. Harvesting the beans is gruelling work earning pickers (primarily women for their smaller, nimbler hands) US$4 per 12-hour day. Even though the coffee plants grow wild amidst thorny bushes and jungle undergrowth where multicoloured tarantulas and deadly Naouyaka snakes make their home, danger money isn’t even a consideration. But this is the reality of authentic Mexico and the visit to the plantation, without doubt, is a highlight of the area. However, if you are looking for an alternate pace to this ecological paradise, you won’t be disappointed. The inevitable tequila tour boats can be found. They travel the coastline, music blaring, past nine mesmerizing bays, 36 lovely sandy beaches, most of which are inaccessible by land, to crystal clear snorkelling waters. The entire experience seems to fly in the face of the eco-message Huatalco is trying to promote. And while ecotourism is barely on the map, it holds the promise to be its salvation. So you might want to make tracks to this sleepy and beautiful part of Mexico before the pleasures of these party boats start to make their mark. travelwriterstales.com
