KAMLOOPS BLAZERS 2017-2018 SEASON PREVIEW WEEKLY FIVE-PART SERIES BEGINS TODAY

n old adage suggests building a hockey team from the net out. The expansion Las Vegas Golden Knights seem to be following that thought with the selection of veteran netminder Marc-André Fleury from the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins in June’s NHL expansion draft. And Kamloops This Week sports editor Marty Hastings is sticking to that route as he begins KTW’s five-part Kamloops Blazers season preview from the blue paint in the crease. With standout goaltender Connor Ingram likely to begin his pro hockey career this year, the 2017-2018 Blazers will rely on Dylan Ferguson to backstop the club to victory. Ferguson was outstanding in relief of Ingram last season, while the latter was wearing the Maple Leaf at the World Junior Championship. This year, Ferguson is No. 1, with an intriguing competition for No. 2 underway between a recently acquired veteran and a young Kamloops-raised goaltender. The five-part series on this season’s Blazers begins on page A21 of today’s paper and will continue each Thursday, leading to the start of the regular season. Each instalment can also be found online at kamloops thisweek.com, under the Sports tab.

Construction will create traffic gridlock at Thompson Rivers University to begin the school year.

Get set for TRU parking crunch SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Road and parking lot closures at Thompson Rivers University may continue into October, since the university says it can’t meet the construction schedule it set out earlier this year. Construction on new utility lines under University Drive along the east side of campus has been ongoing since April. The new utilities are being installed to service The Reach, a

private residential housing development on campus. Work was scheduled to be completed before students head back to class on Sept. 6, but a gamble by the university to get drawings sooner than expected didn’t pay off. “There weren’t really any delays. We knew that some of the drawings we required were potentially going to take some time and that we might not get them as soon as we wanted,” said Warren Asuchak, TRU’s director of facilities. Asuchak added that the con-

struction revealed old asbestos pipe, which also delayed the project. As a result, the east gate entrance to the university off of McGill Road — one of its busiest — will remain closed while students flood back onto campus. Those driving to campus may also see a parking crunch, with parking lot E, located on the corner of Summit and McGill, closed and filled with construction equipment. See TRU, A6

Don’t call it the Southwest sector, Southgate or lower Sahali. A newly formed association has a new identity in mind for the commercial area above downtown Kamloops. “What we’re interested in is building a bit of a new identity of Uptown,” said David Hughes, one of the brains behind the organization and a lawyer with Forward Law. The area stretches from the top of the Columbia Street hill to businesses on Hillside Drive.

“We want to create a neighbourhood,” Hughes said. “I think we’re big enough in Kamloops to have multiple vibrant neighbourhoods and they should be walkable and there should be festivals going on. “Why don’t we have A Taste of Uptown? Why don’t we have Cold Nite in the City?” Already incorporated as a non-profit, the Uptown association will begin signing up members at a meeting on Sept. 12, at a location to be determined. While there will be fees to join, Hughes said there are no plans now

to turn the group into a tax-levying business improvement association similar to those operating downtown and on the North Shore. However, since the association’s actions will be based on demand from membership, nothing is entirely out of the question. Hughes said the idea for the association came about when staff at the law firm was having difficulty finding places to eat lunch in the summer, due to lack of green spaces. “And then other things occurred to me that we’ve always talked about — the need for another crosswalk across Summit Drive by Tudor Village, because

big enough in Kamloops “toWe’re have multiple vibrant neighbourhoods.”

— DAVID HUGHES

there’s people who jaywalk there a lot,” he said. “I thought we should talk to other businesses in our area about what they thought we needed and there was quite a lot of interest in that.” Feedback on the association’s Twitter feed (@ UptownKamloops) has mainly focused on issues of walkability and green spaces. “It’s an area thousands of people go to every day,”

Hughes said. “We could do with some more beautification.” He also hopes to see more events held in the area, pointing to the B.C. Wildhearts wildfire fundraiser held in the Sahali Mall parking lot in July as an example of what the area could accomplish. For more information on the association and its first meeting, go online to UptownKamloops.com.

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION • SEPT. 30

Pro-business approach to Giesbrecht’s bid Dennis Giesbrecht said he is running for council in order to give a voice to those not represented by the current slate of politicians in Kamloops City Hall.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When sitting city councillor Donovan Cavers flipped the bird at a stack of reports on the proposed Ajax mine, Dennis Giesbrecht started an ultimately unsuccessful campaign to get Cavers removed. This time round, Giesbrecht is looking to join Cavers, by adding his name to the growing list of candidates seeking two vacant city council seats in the Sept. 30 byelection. “There’s a lot of folks out there who aren’t being represented by this current council,” said Giesbrecht, a father of two who works as an inspector for a northern Alberta oil company. “So, I guess I’m going to try to give them a voice.” Giesbrecht said the proposed Ajax mine, which council officially opposes, is one issue in which he feels sitting councillors have not well represented the city. “They basically ignored 50 per cent of

the population,” he said. “Every poll I’ve seen splits Kamloops down the middle for support and opposition of Ajax. But council’s gone 100 per cent the other direction, so a lot of people are feeling their voice is not heard.” Describing himself as pro-business and pro-industry, Giesbrecht said he wants council to focus on attracting businesses and reducing industrial and business

taxes until they are in line with or lower than the provincial average. He suggests the city explore a system that would allow businesses locating in Kamloops to have a single point of contact within city hall as they get set up, rather than needing to interact with multiple departments. He also suggests the city offer tax breaks aimed at enticing new doctors to the city. “If you have a small clinic, you have a small

business,” he said. “We need to encourage those guys to come to Kamloops. We need to give them advantages and make it a no-brainer to come to Kamloops.” And, in a nod to the petition he once created, Giesbrecht said he wants to bring in a code of conduct for city councillors. “We need something with some teeth. We need something with some ability to go back and track and say, look, whether you’re sending emails out full of swears or whatever you’re doing, that’s not acceptable as a representative of the city of Kamloops,” he said. As of Wednesday afternoon, about 20 candidates have either declared or filed nomination papers for the byelection. Nominations close on Friday.

Marr begins progressive campaign Jeanne Marr likes much of what the current Kamloops council has done and wants to expand on ideas to make the city more liveable.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

You may have seen her working in the front office of schools around Kamloops. Now, Jeanne Marr is hoping for a seat at the council table. A self-described “research nerd,” Marr said she has a love of politics and wants to see Kamloops stay on track to becoming a more progressive city. “The current council is making some bold decisions and forward-thinking, which is excellent,” she said. “I’m very proud of that. “I would like to see a broader range of spectrum that we look at in the years ahead. “We’re at a bit of a crossroads, I think, with the Ajax mine.

“We’ve largely been an industrial hub and we need to move towards fostering clean, sustainable jobs.” Marr said she has been impressed by

council’s embrace of transit, taking on extra service hours when other municipalities decline, and by its support of the Kamloops Innovation Centre and the

high-tech industry. If elected, Marr said she would continue to push for improved transit in the city, which she believes is necessary based on firsthand experience. “If the service isn’t there, the ridership will never be there,” she said. “Raising my daughters in the Juniper Ridge area, the transit system was one of the big challenges, with it only coming hourly and stopping earlier in the evenings. It was just not something that was feasible for school or jobs they had growing up.” Marr also wants

to see council promote more density downtown, walkable neighbourhoods and other policies that would make the city attractive to millennial and Generation X workers. In addition to promoting technology, Marr suggests council look to bring another upcoming industry to town as part of its economic development mission — cannabis, once it becomes legal in 2018. “We’re surrounded by prime agricultural growing land and cannabis manufacturing plants is something that is almost the new gold,” she said. “I think Kamloops needs to take part in that. It has the potential to benefit the whole ThompsonNicola Regional District.”

TRU: try ridesharing, transit From TURN, page 00

“We could probably find a way to open that lot up, but the concern was that we were going to have excavators and people working, and I think we just thought the safest thing was to keep people away from the site,” Asuchak said. Some parking lots behind Old Main will also be closed. Lot A2, the site of the first residential building for The Reach, will be lost to construction, and

parts of nearby lots will be used for equipment. When asked if parking rates might be lessened as a result of the turmoil, Asuchak said that’s not going to happen. “No, because what that does is it just encourages people to drive,” he said. As a result of the closures, TRU is recommending ways of getting to campus it says are more sustainable, such as transit, its Zipcar program or ridesharing.

The university’s master plan does show that, over time, parking lots will be phased out across campus as more market housing, commercial and academic space is added. A parkade is planned to balance out the lost space, but Asuchak said no timeline has been set. “The combination of less parking and increased rates is what leads to more sustainability,” Asuchak said.

THE GREAT TRAIL

Body ID’d as that of carver Kamloops RCMP have identified the man who was found dead in a tent next to the Thompson River near Mission Flats on Aug. 16. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the man had been in Kamloops for a number of years and had been known to stay in a tent by the river. She said his next of kin has been notified. Foul play is not suspected in the death and the BC Coroners Service is investigating the cause. While police did not release the man’s name, his friends are remembering Kevin Harvey in online tributes, with a memorial barbecue set for Friday, Sept. 1, at the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Centre, at 125 Palm St. on the North Shore. According to friends, Harvey was a talented carver with two sons and a grandchild. He was also a gifted artist whose tent was referred to as an art studio.

BALLOT NUMBERS COULD SURPRISE

f voter interest matches that of prospective candidates, perhaps the Sept. 30 civic byelection in Kamloops can deliver ballot numbers that exceed expectations. As of KTW’s press deadline on Wednesday, four people had declared their intention to run for mayor and 20 others had signalled their desire to chase one of two empty council seats. With candidate nomination deadline arriving on Friday, don’t be surprised to see a few more candidates file at city hall. Even at the current numbers, the interest in running in the byelection is remarkable, considering the last general civic election, in 2014, saw 28 councillor candidates and four mayoral contenders. Byelections generally attract fewer candidates, but the long list of those seeking seats on council would seem to indicate a passionate political voice in the city — and, perhaps, disenchantment with the three-years term of the current crop of local politicians. Civic elections generally attract far fewer voters than do their provincial and federal counterparts, despite the fact civic elections and the people they place in power have far more impact on a voter. Kamloops routinely sees a general civic election turnout of about 30 per cent. Byelections tend to attract a third of that number, so anything above a 10 per cent turnout on Sept. 30 would be seen as a success locally. With such a large candidate list vying for so few seats, it is incumbent upon voters to read each and every candidate profile being churned out by KTW reporter Andrea Klassen (available to read online at kamloopsthisweek.com; search “Kamloops byelection”) and to attend the Sept. 20 media-sponsored (KTW, CFJC-TV and CBC Radio) forum at Sagebrush Theatre. To paraphrase President Lyndon Johnson: A person without a vote is a person without protection.”

Truth is the best weapon

t was while viewing one video or another from Charlottesville that I realized what I was watching. Beyond the violence and the racism — all of which are disturbing but not exactly new – the thing that stood out to me was just how young and how male the white supremacist crowds were that had gathered in that city. The majority of those holding tiki torches, yelling Nazi slogans and railing about white power were men in their early to mid-20s. Most seemed likely to have attended university recently and few seemed like they were suffering socioeconomically from their supposed discrimination. It’s easy to label these racists idiots, because their views sure are dumb. Their arguments are tangled knots of errors, distortions, omissions and inconsistencies almost none of which would withstand a second of solid research or probing. They shout about people taking their freedom away while their lives and actions — the walking through a distant town armed to the teeth and yelling treasonous slogans — are evidence to the contrary. But are they idiots, or just young men who have absorbed one falsehood upon another and then arrived at the most heinous of conclusions? A certain level of self-absorption and mental incompetence is surely at play here. But the internet’s insular communities, and the ease at which one can become immersed in a community dedicated to spreading lies and fallacious arguments, also seem to warrant considerable blame. But I actually don’t think the cause of the racism is that impor-

SHOT tant. That’s because the best preventive measure we can level against intolerance should be almost universally effective. I’m a journalist, so it shouldn’t surprise that I would say that such people need more exposure to information that — while it can never be perfect — has been vetted and assembled with an eye on telling the truth, not a particular viewpoint. But as important as I think journalism is, schools are even more crucial. In Canada, some of the most pernicious views involve First Nations and their relationship with the government and non-Indigenous people. Much of Canada’s anti-First Nations racism seems like it stems from a total lack of knowledge about the history of how Canada was settled. Two decades ago in school, I learned about the explorers who “discovered” British Columbia and was taught a cursory history of the province’s last century and a half. I learned about the French explorers. But that was about it. Nothing about residential schools and vanishingly little about a smallpox epidemic that wiped out much

of B.C.’s First Nations population. There was little about how the land was used before settlers showed up, and treaties were glanced over. I hope (and think) that education about those events has improved in the last decade-plus. History should be taught for history sake’s itself — not to convince people not to be racist. But in telling true stories, and giving a full accounting for the past, history can also be a weapon wielded against the arguments and mistruths that racists use to convince themselves they’re right. The often-sad history of B.C.’s settlement is important because they tell the province’s true and full story. But it also explains why things are the way they are today — why Indigenous men and women are more likely to be homeless, and why something like the voyages of Simon Fraser may not be embraced as something worth celebrating. History education has a similar role to play in arguments over the American South’s thousands of confederate monuments. Not only is a dispassionate, full accounting of the Civil War — and the critical role of slavery in prompting the conflict — required, but so is widespread education on the history of the statues there, most of which were erected not immediately after the conflict but in response to civil rights activism more than 50 years after the ceasing of hostilities. Today, as in the 20th Century, the best weapon against would-be Nazis won’t be slogans, but the truth. Tyler Olsen is a reporter with the Abbotsford News. His email address is tolsen@abbynews.com.

AN EXPLOSIVE PROPOSAL: BOMBING THE PROVINCE TO PREVENT WILDFIRES Editor: Why spend $300 million and more to fight forest fires when the wildfires can be stopped for just a fraction of that cost? The wildlife have left the fire area and people can be evacuated. Blow the fire out of the forest. We have an air force that can bomb the fire with highly explosive bombs. The explosion will dissipate any fuel the fire has and the explosion will suck in the oxygen, taking it away from the fire. Firefighters can come in later and do the clean-up, assisted by the military. We also have artillery that can put out smaller fires with accurate shooting, also using highly

City of Kamloops nature parks staff member Kirsten Wourms waded through the Dufferin pond recently, calling out water depths to Shayne Kuchma and Travis Cumming as part of waterdepth monitoring to verify design specifications. The newly created Dufferin Park wetlands seeks to restore nature wetlands and improve habitat for flora and fauna, including waterfowl, amphibians, raptors, pollinators, insects, birds and mammals. Later this year, the city hopes to complete a boardwalk with a large viewing platform. An educational kiosk is also in the works for local school children to learn about the wetlands.

Eclipse’s high tides break net, 25 — dump Atlantic salmon in Pacific 50% THE CANADIAN PRESS

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Members of the public in Washington state are being asked to help mop up a spill of Atlantic salmon from an imploded net holding 305,000 fish at a Cooke Aquaculture fish farm near Cypress Island. Washington state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife is urging the public to catch as many of the fish as possible after Lummi fishers out for chinook on Sunday near Samish were surprised to pull up the Atlantic salmon — escapees that turned up in their nets again on Monday. The fish are about 4.5 kilograms each and the department is asking people to catch them with no limit on size or number. No one knows yet how many escaped, but Ron Warren of Fish and Wildlife said the net had some 1,360 tonnes of fish in it when it imploded Saturday. Warren said the spill was caused by tides pushed unusually high by Monday’s approaching total solar eclipse. The department has been

erations. “We don’t want those fish preying on our baby salmon. And we don’t want them getting up in the rivers.’’ G.I. James, a member of the Lummi natural resources staff and fish commission, said Pacific salmon face enough trouble as it is without duelling with invaders in their home waters. “It is potentially a disease issue, and impact on our fish, as dire a shape as they are in, right now any impact to them is difficult to absorb,’’ he said. The federal NDP’s critic for fisheries and oceans said the incident shows a different approach is needed to acquaculture. “I’m alarmed to hear thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon have escaped into our Pacific waters,’’ said Fin Donnelly, the MP for the B.C. riding of Port MoodyCoquitlam. “These events underscore the need for mandatory land-based, closed containment fish farms in order to protect our wild salmon fishery and the integrity of the marine environment.’’ Atlantic salmon are also raised in fish farms in British Columbia.

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

Canada, Mexico shrug off threat to blow up NAFTA ALEXANDER PANETTA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s sudden threat to blow up NAFTA less than a week into its renegotiation isn’t drawing much of a response from the other North American countries, which are downplaying his remarks. Canada and Mexico say it’s a predictable event in the course of a trade negotiation. “As we said last week, trade negotiations often have moments of heated rhetoric,’’ said Adam

Austen, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland. “Our priorities remain the same and we will continue to work hard to modernize NAFTA, supporting millions of middle class jobs.’’ “Canada’s economic ties with the United States are key to middle-class jobs and growth on both sides of the border. Nine million American jobs depend on trade and investment with Canada.’’ Trump told a partisan crowd at a rally in Arizona on Tuesday night that he doubts a deal is possible.

Bride, groom spend wedding night in jail after bar fight THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — A bride and groom spent their first night of wedded bliss in jail when Edmonton police arrested them after a post-wedding brawl in a downtown bar. It’s unclear how it all started, but photos and videos posted on social media show the fight on the weekend spilling onto the street outside the bar. Witnesses say the bride was right in the middle of it. Police say she was charged with assault and the groom was charged with mischief. Their names have not been released. Witness Matt Machado told CTV Edmonton that the doors to the bar just exploded open and bodies stared piling out. “It was just absolutely ridiculous and absolutely absurd,’’ Machado said.

“Personally, I don’t think we can make a deal,’’ Trump told a campaign-style rally in Arizona on Tuesday night. “Because we have been so badly taken advantage of. They have made such great deals — both of the countries, but in particular Mexico — that I don’t think we can make a deal. “So I think we’ll end up probably terminating NAFTA at some point.’’ While he’s made the threat numerous times, this is the first time he’s done it since Canada, the U.S. and Mexico

began talks last week. Freeland was unavailable to comment today, but she as good as predicted it during her appearance before a House of Commons committee last week when she said there likely would be “dramatic moments ahead.’’ A Foreign Affairs official speaking on background said Trump’s threat to cancel NAFTA came earlier than expected, but it was expected. “We knew it was very likely the president would play this card,’’ he said. “We’re not going

The Mexican foreign minister described Trump’s threat as an obvious leverage play: “No surprise: we’re in a negotiation,’’ Luis Videgaray tweeted in response to Trump. “Mexico will remain at the table with calmness, firmness and in the national interest.’’

Trump preaches unity after fiery speech JULIE BYKOWICZ

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. — A day after a searing speech tearing into the media and members of his own political party, President Donald Trump returned to calls for unity and love as he spoke to veterans Wednesday at an American Legion conference. “We are here to hold you up as an example of strength, courage and resolve that our country will need to overcome the many challenges that we face,’’ Trump told the veterans, speaking in measured tones and adhering to his prepared remarks. He said all Americans must learn the same work ethic, patriotism and devotion as veterans. The messaging zig-zag appears to reflect the president’s real-time internal debate between calls for moderation and his inclination to let loose. Trump had opened his Tuesday rally in Phoenix much the same way — but quickly erupted in anger, blaming the media for the widespread condemnation

Dig It: Heritage for healing, heritage for all In this column, Joanne Hammond explains how the past has meaning for all of us, be it in the traditional territory of Skeetchestn in Savona or elsewhere. Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region. A group of nine professional archeologists living and working in the area contribute columns to educate and fascinate. From writing about specific sites to the life of an archeologist, the columns uncover the complex past of the land on which we walk in the present.

SPECIAL TO KTW

’d like to tell a story about the power of heritage to heal, to reconnect and to rebalance. Driving on the TransCanada Highway west of Kamloops, you will cross Durand Creek just above its mouth at Kamloops Lake in Savona. This is the traditional territory of Skeetchestn, a division of the Secwepemc Nation historically known as the Deadman’s Creek Band or, even further back, the Bout-du-Lac Indians. Today at this spot, there’s a mill, a highway and a railway. Skeetchestn histories tell us it was once a busy fishing station, one of many small villages occupied until the 1870s, when settler encroachment became intense. By 1880, gold rushersturned-ranchers-and-farmers had claimed the most productive lands and waters along the Thompson River and Kamloops Lake, in defiance of B.C.’s plan to set aside “lands reserved for Indians.” Secwepemc people continued to use some of the land into the 1940s, now under title or lease, either by the grace of the owner or covertly. Skeetchestn elders say they were ousted from Savona for real in 1950s, when the TransCanada Highway came through. Neighbouring properties were fenced and gated. Elder Elsie Hewitt recalled how promised Indigenous rights quickly lost out to private property rights and new landowners’ political power: “They’d always ask us, ‘Why did we give up our rights?’ We had no choice. We were chased out. We were told we were trespassing.”

JOANNE HAMMOND PHOTO

Generations passed and alienation from this property strained the community’s connection to this place. Little was known about how people used to live here (obviously, theft of Indigenous languages and wretched epidemics didn’t help with continuity of knowledge, which traditionally relied on oral record-keeping). Last year, under the heat of the summer sun, Skeetchestn and Tk’emlups heritage crews went back to find that connection to ancestral use, using archeology. I went, too.

The archaeological site we found had been disturbed by a century of uses — an orchard, a mill and an airstrip, to name just a few — but traces remained. We found a story’s worth of artifacts: tools made by ancestors of stone quarried locally at Arrowstone Hills and bone implements for fishing. We found clues about the diet that once sustained Secwepemc families: bones of deer, elk, marmot and salmon. Horse and cow, too, from the early post-contact era. The artifacts tell us the site was occupied from 150 years back

to at least 2,400 years ago. The archeology we did here wasn’t groundbreaking. We found what we suspected we’d find, what the elders said was there. More important was what it did for the people involved: it drew a direct line between today’s Skeetchestn fishers who work the lake nearby and their ancestors who did the same. It allowed the yucwmimen (caretakers) who found the site to exercise traditional heritage stewardship roles usurped by colonial rule. And for seme7 (whites), for whom oral history isn’t concrete

We can’t undo colonial damage, but a new kind of heritage stewardship can change the balance. Think about it, the next time you pass through here or somewhere like it, there is a past under there.

‘Pulled back from the edge of the grave’ Kamloops cancer survivor taking part this weekend in Ride to Conquer Cancer SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

hris Brochu will spend this weekend on his bike, cycling 200 kilometres from Vancouver to Seattle. Afterwards, if he feels like he did last year doing the same ride, he’ll be tired, sore and burnt out — but it’ll still be a ride he was lucky to be able to make. Brochu will hit the road for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, an annual fundraising event that has garnered more than $77 million for the BC Cancer Foundation since 2009. And he knows a thing or two about conquering cancer. Brochu’s legs will still be aching on Aug. 30, when he’ll have his final every-three-months checkup at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. It’s a milestone that marks the end of a long chapter in his road to recovery. In 2009, a 28-year-old Brochu had a penny-sized mole checked out on his back. It was diagnosed as stage one melanoma. The mole was removed, and further surgery showed that he was cancer-free. Doctors said there was little

chance it would come back. “I thought I was free and clear. I went back to normal life,” he said. But in May 2015, Brochu, then a plumber by trade between jobs, was hiking in Kamloops when he suddenly felt short of breath. A visit to Royal Inland Hospital showed he had a collapsed lung. Further tests found fluid in his lung and that the cancer had returned. This time, he was diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma. “My prognosis was very grim — the doctor told me I had a 15 per cent chance of living,” he said. Brochu started treatment using oral chemotherapy, but slowly became immune to it and by October 2015 the treatment was no longer effective.

Walk for rare cancer in Riverside Park this weekend ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

nna Evenrude didn’t know if there was anyone else in Kamloops with cancer like hers. While about seven Canadians per day are diagnosed with myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells in bone marrow, the incidence rate is far lower than that of more commonly discussed cancers, such as breast cancer (which 10 times as many women are diagnosed with per day). But when Evenrude made a trip to Kelowna this spring for an educational talk put on by a myeloma group there she discovered three other Kamloopsians in the audience. Soon, a local version was in the works. The Kamloops Myeloma Support Group is now about 10 members strong, including caregivers, spouses and a few people with myeloma from the

surrounding region. Just months after forming, the group will hold its first fundraising and awareness walk in Riverside Park. “It’s a bit scary,” Evenrude said of the undertaking. “We’re just going to put our little net out there and see what happens.” Myeloma is typically diagnosed in adults in their mid-60s, though Evenrude, 75, was only diagnosed late last year. Her story is one of luck — because the cancer strips calcium out of the bones, most people are diagnosed with myeloma when a bone fractures, releasing the cancer into the body.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Anna Evenrude has myeloma, a kind of bone marrow cancer. She started a new charity walk and support group, with a fundraising stroll slated to take place on Saturday.

Evenrude caught hers before it had spread, though the process took about a year and required

multiple rounds of MRIs, scans and biopsies. She’s now about halfway

through her chemotherapy treatment. “I am lucky because I didn’t have any fractures and no bone spread at all on my re-evaluation,” she said. “If we could just get myeloma caught early we could actually control it.” Early signs of myeloma include fatigue, back or bone pain and elevated calcium and creatine levels in a person’s serum — the fluid left over after red blood cells and clotting factors have been removed from the blood. Evenrude said she hopes the Kamloops walk can both raise awareness of a less-known cancer and help raise funds for new treatments, which have expanded the life expectancy for people with myeloma from three to five years to 10 or more over the last two decades. The Kamloops multiple myeloma march begins with registration at 9 a.m. on Saturday. To register in advance visit myelomamarch. ca. For more information contact Evenrude at 250-372-8077.

Brochu hopes to share message of hope with others From A19

“I got sicker and sicker and then the cancer really came back full force,” he said. Brochu said there weren’t any treatment options available to him in B.C., but a visit to a naturopath in Vancouver sparked the recommendation of an immunotherapy drug trial in Edmonton at the Cross Cancer Institute. Brochu was lucky for once and got into the trial, which was limited to 1,000 patients across North America. The treatment didn’t work right away. He was hospitalized for six weeks in Edmonton and became even sicker. But Brochu said knowing the treatments were the way for him to survive helped a lot. “I was really focusing on the outcome.

f Connor Ingram is Brett Favre, then Dylan Ferguson would love to be Aaron Rodgers. Ingram established himself as one of the greatest goaltenders in Kamloops Blazers’ history, recording a franchise-best save percentage of .922 in 2015-2016 and breaking his own record the next season with a .927 mark. The 20-yearold backstop from Imperial, Sask., was signed by the Tampa Bay Lightning in April and will likely play pro

hockey this season. Quirky quips and spectacular saves, both timely and entertaining, made him a fan favourite. He leaves sizeable goalie skates to fill. But his successor, Ferguson, has pedigree, much like first-round NFL Draft pick Rodgers did when he was tasked with replacing perhaps the most beloved quarterback in Green Bay Packers’ history. The Lantzville product who turns 19 on Sept. 20 is looking to carve his own niche in Blazers’ lore. “Connor was a great goalie for this team,” said Ferguson, speaking to KTW on

KTW will look ahead to the 2017-2018 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a series that starts today. Stories will run each Thursday until Sept. 21. The local WHL club opens its season in Kelowna against the Rockets on Sept. 22. We start with a look between the pipes in today’s instalment. Each story in the series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. the first day of the Blazers’ pre-season goaltenders’ camp on Tuesday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. “I looked up to him a lot. He was like a silent mentor to me. He taught me a lot of things. “But I’m not going to try to resemble my game after his,” Ferguson continued. “I’m going to do what I can do for the team.” Ferguson’s rise from relatively

unknown backup WHL goalie to NHL Draft pick bordered on meteoric. While Ingram was away at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Toronto and Montreal last season, Ferguson took over and started 15 consecutive games, compiling a record of 9-4-0-2 and a .931 save percentage to put himself on the NHL Draft radar. Within a span of 48 hours in June, he was drafted 194th overall by the Dallas Stars, traded to the expansion Vegas Golden Knights and hopping a plane to Sin

City for development camp. “It’s been a bunch of whirlwinds,” said Ferguson, who was sporting a shiny new Golden Knights hat on Tuesday.

“It’s a great feeling and everything came pretty fast. “I’ve been preparing for it [to be the No. 1 guy in Kamloops] for about two years. I knew it was going to happen. I’m ready to get things going with this team.” Blazers’ goaltending coach Dan De Palma was asked about the greatest challenge facing Ferguson this season. “Just keeping it about today and living in the moment,” De Palma said, noting comparisons with Ingram are natural and shouldn’t bother Ferguson. “It’s been pretty exciting for him and it should be. You don’t want to deny that from a young guy, but let’s live in the moment.

The Kamloops Blazers are not expecting Connor Ingram, who signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning in April, to return for his 20-year-old WHL campaign. Lantzville product Dylan Ferguson, who was selected in the NHL Draft in June, is taking over for one of the best in franchise history.

“Embrace this moment and the next moment will look after itself.” Ferguson will fly to Vegas for Golden Knights’ rookie camp on Sept. 6, leaving the crease wide open for one of the more intriguing pre-season roster-spot competitions. Kamloops product Max Palaga, 17, and 19-year-old Kyle

Dumba, acquired in a trade with Calgary on Aug. 1, will be vying for the backup goaltender position. “It’d mean the world to me to make the team,” Palaga said. “I’ve been following this team my whole life, living here my whole life. It’d be a dream come true.” Palaga backed up Ferguson while Ingram was at world juniors

last season. He played the gatekeeper role, seeing the ice for only 19 minutes, but his familiarity with the team, and vice-versa, could be considered an advantage. Dumba’s advantage is experience. “In Calgary, I battled almost every year for a spot,” said Dumba, the brother of Minnesota Wild defenceman Matt

Kosolofski, Macks look back on NAIG experience Goalkeeper Kelly Kosolofski allowed only one goal in five games for Team B.C. last month at the North American Indigenous Games in Toronto.

Goalkeeper Kelly Kosolofski stood her ground for Team B.C. The 14-year-old keeper from Kamloops played the biggest games of her life at last month’s North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in Toronto. Kosolofski put up a wall to help earn Team B.C. a gold medal in under-16 soccer. In the five games the girls played, Kosolofski, the team’s only goalie, only allowed one goal. “It felt so unreal because I was playing with a bunch of girls who were a lot older than me. It was a really good experience,” she said. Kosolofski, who represented her home nation of Haida Gwaii, said the Indigenous

Soccer Championships in Prince George. As a 13-year-old, she took an under-18 team to third place in their division. That wasn’t enough for that team to head east, but it turned into an opportunity for Kosolofski, as B.C.’s U16 team called her up to try out and later gave her the spot. Once she made the team, she had to practise with them and, with practices in the Lower Mainland, juggling her commitments in town made things harder. But Kosolofski managed to keep up with her Kamloops Youth Soccer Association U14 select team and kept training with the Whitecaps Academy here in town while travelling back and forth for weekly practice on the Coast. Kosolofski has the support of her mom, Colleen Bradley, and the rest of her family, who helped out along the way and were there to cheer her on in Toronto. “As a parent, we just think she’s the most amazing person out on the field, both her other mom and myself, we just want to continue to support her,” Bradley said. “She loves soccer,

she loves sports, and for us as long as she continues to love it and be passionate about it, how could we not support her in that?” The team’s gold medal was also a contributor to B.C.’s overall medal win at the Games, bringing in 179 medals, trailed by Saskatchewan (166) and Ontario (136). Kosolofski also wasn’t the only one from Kamloops at the Games. Kiara and Mya Mack both competed in track and field and a number of Kamloops athletes competed in 16-and-under male box lacrosse. Kiara Mack won silver in high jump and the 4×400-metre relay and bronze in the 4×100-metre relay, while her sister Mya took bronze in the 4×100-metre and fifth place in discus and high jump. “I wanted to stop running because the pain was so brutal, but if I did I would have let my team down and I didn’t want to do that, so I kept running. I crossed the finish line in both races and I could barely put pressure on my left leg because it hurt so bad,” Mya said. Trey Dergousoff, R.J. Gerow, Spencer Vaughan and Nolan Virgo of Kamloops won three of their four games and took fifth place in male 16U box lacrosse.

Ageless Kamloops wonder Peter Findlay, 58, placed second overall in a time of 2:31:36, just behind 27-year-old Fernie rider Thomas Gibson, who won in a time of 2:30:52. Ashley Vrielink of Kamloops was the top female rider, finishing in 3:26:30. Evan Wynne, a 19-year-old rider from Lac le Jeune, posted a time of 3:22:35, with 18-year-old Eric Spence of Kamloops crossing the finish line in 3:48:34.

Reynolds: Cavs won the deal TIM REYNOLDS

THE ASSOCOATED PRESS

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor brought their carnival to Las Vegas this week. The fight, scheduled for Saturday at T-Mobile Arena, may set pay-per-view records.

Megafight to draw huge PPV numbers TIM DAHLBERG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor’s improbable challenge of Floyd Mayweather Jr. could be seen by a staggering 50-million people in the United States as fans and the curious gather in small and large parties. The fight Saturday night threatens the pay-perview revenue record set by Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao two years ago and could dwarf it in viewership as people use the event as a reason to have friends and family over for a little escapism and controlled violence. “It’s a cultural event that crosses all demographics and all social and economic factors,’’ said Mark Taffet, who formerly ran pay-per-view for HBO. “People are getting together to have a great time and we surely need an excuse to have a great time.’’ Taffet said that while an average of five to six people normally watch a pay-per-view, he wouldn’t be surprised if the fight averages 10 people a household. If it sells five million pay-per-views as widely anticipated, the fight could be watched by nearly one in six Americans. The fight will also be seen by millions more worldwide, with promoters claiming it will be available either online or on a TV screen to more than one billion homes in 200 countries. “If you are in Manhattan or you are on a desert island somewhere, if you have Wi-Fi, you can buy this fight,’’ promoter Dana White said. Each pay-per-view sale means more money in the wallets of both fighters. Though estimates vary widely, Mayweather is expected to make some $200 million, while McGregor will likely pocket at least $100 million. Though ticket sales have been slow in Las Vegas — largely because of astronomical prices — the fight is shaping up as must-see TV at a price of $99.95. There are plenty of tickets left in the arena itself, where prices originally ranged from $2,500 in the upper sections to $10,000 at ringside.

MIAMI — It’s not the principals that will define the blockbuster trade between Cleveland and Boston. Great point guard leaves one city for another. That seems fair. All the other parts, they will tell the story. There are many ways to claim victory in the deal made Tuesday night. Kyrie Irving wanted his own team and got it, so he wins. Isaiah Thomas gets to play with LeBron James, so he wins. The Cavaliers got rid of a supposedly disgruntled star, so they won. The Celtics now won’t have to decide if Thomas is worth something like a $180 million deal next summer, so they won. It’s all semantics. But look past all that. In the end, Cleveland won. James won, too. Here’s a few reasons why James will be celebrating this deal: He’ll still have a high-octane point guard; he’s getting an absurdly good defender in Jae Crowder (he could have helped the Cavs’ cause against Golden State in The Finals); he won’t be going into the season dealing with drama about Irving’s Cleveland future; this trade might even reap the Cavaliers the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft. All good things, all edge to Cleveland. Give the Celtics credit for being bold. Danny Ainge knew winning the Eastern Conference’s regular-season crown last season was meaningless, so he completely blew up a team

KYRIE IRVING: Now a Boston Celtic.

that was a No. 1 seed and got hammered by the Cavaliers in the East finals. Sure, the Celtics played most of that series without Thomas, but that wasn’t going to matter. The Cavs weren’t losing that series. So Ainge goes out and gets an all-star point guard in Irving, after he hauls in Gordon Hayward during free agency and adds probable rookie of the year front-runner Jayson Tatum to the mix in the draft — plus gets another draft pick in either 2018 or 2019 for his trouble. It’s not a bad deal for the Celtics. They get Irving. It’s his team. A storied franchise is in his hands and he will savour that. It’s just a better deal for Cleveland, at least right now. Regardless of all these Celtics-Cavaliers fireworks, it’s still Golden State’s world and probably will be for a long time. This deal didn’t change that. The Warriors will still be the favourites to win the last game of next season. The first game of next season, as luck would have it, just happens to be Boston at Cleveland. And just like that, the NBA has drama again.

Rooney done with England ROB HARRIS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

England record-scorer Wayne Rooney called time on his often tempestuous international career on Wednesday, retiring from duty after spurning an offer to return to the squad. “I believe now is the time to bow out,’’ the former England captain said in a statement. “I will always remain a passionate England fan.’’ A return to form since leaving Manchester United to go back to Everton in the off-season had seen England manager Gareth Southgate approach Rooney about upcoming World Cup qualifiers. But the 31-year-old striker has decided to focus on his club career, quitting England duty with a record 53 goals in 119 appearances — more than any other outfield player.

“It is a really tough decision and one I have discussed with my family, my manager at Everton and those closest to me,” Rooney said. “Playing for England has always been special to me. Every time I was selected as a player or captain was a real privilege and I thank everyone who helped me.’’ Rooney never progressed beyond the quarter-finals of a tournament with England and his struggles on the international stage often saw him cast as the fall guy for his country’s inability to come close to adding to its solitary title in the 1966 World Cup. “One of my very few regrets is not to have been part of a successful England tournament side,’’ Rooney said. “Hopefully, the exciting players Gareth is bringing through can take that ambition further and I hope everyone will get behind the team.”

Canada looking to finish strong at RWC THE CANADIAN PRESS

BELFAST, Ireland — Elissa Alarie scored two tries and Canada advanced to the fifthplace final of the Women’s Rugby World Cup with a 52-0 rout of Wales on Tuesday. Brianna Miller had a try and five conversions for Canada, while Barbara Mervin, Jacey Grusnick, Karen Paquin and Cindy Nelles also

Thursday, September 14, 2017 | RIVERSHORE GOLF LINKS

scored tries as Canada posted its second shutout win over Wales at the tournament. Latoya Blackwood, whose tackle-busting run helped set up Alarie’s second try, was named player of the match. “I’m really proud of the way they rallied together after a bit of a disappointment earlier this week,” captain Kelly Russell said.

Canada will face Australia in Saturday’s fifth-place match. Canada came into the tournament ranked third in the world and finished runner-up to England in the 2014 World Cup. Hopes of a second straight World Cup medal were dashed after ending the preliminary round with a 48-5 loss to powerhouse New Zealand. COMMUNITY PARTNER:

Garand is an exciting prospect, but Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans concerned with the here and now will be more interested in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on atop the depth chart. Ferguson, much like Rodgers, is under pressure to replace an all-time great. He is off to a good start, having buoyed the team last season while its starting backstop was on national duty and finished the campaign with a .922 save percentage to tie Ingramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old record.

Ford, Chinese partner look at possible electric deal

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL — Hyundai Motor plans to launch early next year a secondgeneration hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that will travel more than 580 kilometres between fill-ups under Korean standards. If delivered as promised, the new fuel cell vehicle will travel 40 per cent farther than its first generation fuel cell SUV, the Tucson ix FCEV, launched in 2013. Under European standards, Hyundai said the new vehicle can drive 800 kilometres. Fuel cell cars, emission-free like pure electric cars, can be refuelled in two to three minutes unlike electric vehicles that can take several hours to fully recharge. But the dearth of hydrogen fuelling stations is an obstacle for mass adoption. Toyota, Honda and General Motors also are investing heavily in fuel cell technology but fuel cell cars are gaining less traction than electric vehicles, which can find charging stations more easily. South Korea plans to increase the number of hydrogen fuelling stations from 16 stations this year to 100 stations by 2020 to sharply raise sales of fuel cell vehicles. The country is aiming to have 10,000 fuel cell vehicles on its roads by 2020 to help alleviate air pollution, its environmental ministry said in March. That would be a jump from just 121 fuel cell cars in 2016. Hyundai Motor also plans to

BEIJING — Ford Motor Co. and a Chinese automaker said this week they are looking into setting up a joint venture to develop and manufacture electric cars in China. Ford’s potential venture with Anhui Zotye Automobile Co. adds to the global auto industry’s rising activity in electric vehicles for China, which passed the United States last year as the biggest market for them. Chinese planners who see electrics as a promising industry and a way to clean up smog-choked cities are pushing automakers to speed up development. Ford previously said it plans to offer electric versions of 70 per cent of its models in China by 2025. Privately owned Zotye Auto, headquartered in the eastern city of Huangshan, produces its own electric vehicles and said sales in the first seven months of this year rose 56 per cent over the same period of 2016 to 16,000. “This presents us with an exciting opportunity to leverage each other’s strengths,’’ Zotye chairman Jin Zheyong said in a joint statement. Sales of pure-electric and gasoline-electric hybrids in China rose 50 per cent last year over 2015 to 336,000 vehicles, or 40 per cent of global demand. U.S. sales totalled 159,620. Beijing has supported sales with subsidies and a planned quota system.

The 2017 Hyundai FE remains a fuel cell concept, but Hyundai plans to introduce next year a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that will travel more than 580 kilometres between fill-ups — which take two to three minutes.

catch up in the eco-friendly car race with longer driving range electric vehicles. It plans to launch an electric vehicle with a driving range of 500 kilometres after 2021. Before the summer of next year, it plans to release a small electric

sports utility vehicle with a driving range of 390 kilometres per charge. In 2021, its luxury brand Genesis will unveil an electric vehicle model as well. One reason drivers are reluctant to buy electric vehicles is that they fear not being able to find a

charging station in the middle of a trip. Hyundai’s first pure electric car IONIQ launched last year had a driving range of 191 kilometres per charge, shorter than the electric vehicles made by Tesla and General Motors.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Gary Lawson

AMALIE GUNHOLD

March 30, 1943 – August 13, 2017 It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my husband and best friend, Gary Lawson. Losing his battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully in my arms. Gary was born on March 30, 1943 to Albert and Kathleen Lawson, in Lethbridge, AB. He moved to Vancouver, BC at age 5, where he did his schooling. At age 18, he joined the 2nd Batallion, Queen’s Own Rifles, Currey Barracks, Calgary. He served overseas as a Peace Keeper. Upon returning home, he trained for auto and then heavy duty mechanics, working in the Vancouver area. In 1993, his work as a heavy duty mechanic brought him to Kamloops. Here he met his soul mate, Elizabeth “Lee” Frocklage, and gained his “family I dreamed of having”. He had a love of the outdoors, passion for hunting, fishing, backroad touring and a great joy of dancing. Gary had been a Member of the Legion BR. 52 and Kamloops Eagles until his fight with cancer left him no strength to participate in these organizations. Gary is predeceased by both his parents. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Lee and step-daughters Denise (Dean) Trumbley, Tanya Frocklage (Todd MacRae), sister Kay (Reno) Orsato, brother David (Judy) Lawson. He will be fondly remembered by in-laws Carroll and Ted Scott, Isabel Sawich, Marie Turner, Robert Bigham and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gary’s memory to the BC Wildlife Confederation or BC Cancer Agency. A Celebration of Gary’s Life will be held on Sunday, October 8, 2017 at 1:00 pm at Brock Activity Centre, 9B- 1800 Tranquille Road, Kamloops. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kamloops BC (250) 554-2429

On Thursday, August 17, 2017 Amalie (Ami) Gunhold (Berndl) passed away peacefully at Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops at the age of 106 years. Ami was born October 24, 1910 in Munich, Germany and at the age of 19, she immigrated to Canada in January 1930 with her family to join her father who had come a year earlier. Arriving in Montreal she travelled to Lethbridge, AB and later to Raymond, AB. Shortly after, she relocated to Calgary and in 1957 moved to Penticton and later to Kamloops in 1998. She always enjoyed good health, the love of her family, and had many good friends and good times. Many thanks and much appreciation to the workers and friends who attended her home care needs, from High Country Health Care and took the time to visit with her, and thanks also to the staff at Ridgeview Lodge whose concern and care for her well being this past year was exceptional. She will be lovingly remembered by her son Alf (Doña) Cook, grandchildren Cambi Cook (Nathan) Labrie and Gavin Cook, great grandchildren Logan, Amalie, Aidan and Chloe Labrie all of Kamloops; step-daughters Shirley Gunhold of Calgary and Margaret (Eric) Lepoidevin of Scarborough, Ontario, niece Eleanor Mahoney of Calgary and nephew Ron Neidermayer of Bisbee, Arizona. She will also be fondly remembered by her many friends that remain.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

A kind, honest and hard working man, Clarence passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 19, 2017, from complications related to Parkinson’s disease.

He started work logging as a teenager and later became a welder and heavy duty mechanic in Burns Lake. He was a talented carpenter and could build and fix anything. He built their house at François Lake and was always working on projects for the house or the Sons of Norway. He loved music and playing the accordion, curling, a game of crib and crossword puzzles. He spent many weekends camping and fishing and always had a garden. He especially enjoyed a beer with family and friends. Clarence was very fond of animals and if people wish, a donation to the S.P.C.A. would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. A Service will be held on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at Mayfair Manor, 755 Mayfair Street, Kamloops from 1:00-4:00 pm.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Leonard Arthur Short October 18, 1957 – August 14, 2017 On Monday, August 14, 2017 I lost the love of my life Len to cancer. Len was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in November 2010. With Len’s positive attitude he was an inspiration to everyone and became known as “the miracle man” after enduring 99 chemotherapy sessions. We were blessed with six plus years of continuing to live each day after his diagnosis to the fullest with smiles and humor. Len will leave a huge hole in many hearts including mine. I am proud to have called him my husband. Len is survived by his wife Heather, mother Vera, brother Vernon Jr., sister Marilyn (Roger) Mounsey, brother Ray (Teri), uncle Earl (Joan), nieces Adina, Alanna, Shawna (Darryl), Allison, Jamie, Erin and Cate. Len was pre-deceased by his father Vernon. Len’s in-laws also played a major part in his life. Dorothy (Jack), David (Carol), Jack, Randy (Cindy), Steve (Christiane,) Dave Junior (Dawn) and Jeremy, Julia, Tony and Allaina. Len was born in New Westminster but spent most of his years living in Kamloops. He considered himself a “jack of all trades” but operating heavy equipment was his passion. He enjoyed his vacations to Las Vegas and Palm Springs and any time spent with family and friends. His passing leaves a void in the lives of his many friends. Their true friendship showed all through Len’s illness and especially in the last few days of his life. Too many to mention but you know who you are. A special thanks to Goldie, Pastor Don, Dr. John Reid, Dr. Gabriel and staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and the caring staff at Marjorie Willoughby. A Celebration of Len’s Life will take place on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 1:00 pm at the Summit Drive Church, 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops with Pastor Don Maione officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Len’s memory. We are all better human beings for having known Len.

Hans K. Jensen November 20, 1934 – August 21, 2017 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Father and Papa on August 21, 2017, at the age of 82. He is survived by his daughters Donna (Rick) and Diane, grandchildren Ashley, Leanne, Matthew and Ryan, as well as his brother Erik (Hilda). He is predeceased by his loving wife Elizabeth of 56 years, parents Hansine and Kristian and brother Poul. Hans was born in Skovey, Denmark on November 20, 1934. At 15 years old he started his four-year apprenticeship as a mason. Upon graduation with top honours he then joined the army for 12 months, after which he worked as a mason in Norway. Thereafter, he visited London and immigrated to Calgary by boat in 1954. Although he did not speak English upon arrival, he quickly learned the language. Four years after arriving in Calgary, Hans met the love of his life Betty, and they were married April 18, 1959. Their family began with the arrival of their first child Donna, born on October 22, 1960 and they welcomed their second child Diane on September 27, 1964.

Hans built his first home in 1961 in Calgary; however, a promising job opportunity moved the family to Kamloops in 1964. Three years later, in 1967, Hans completed building their family home, which he and his wife lived in for 50 years. Hans was well-known and highly respected in the community for his masonry skills and expertise. He co-owned two companies Bilt-Rite Masonry and Bettnel Masonry – before retiring in 2002. During retirement he was able to dedicate more of his free time pursuing other passions such as fishing, hunting, camping, snowmobiling, golfing and bowling. His greatest passion, however, was his family and many friends. He touched the lives of anyone who was lucky enough to know him. We would like to give special thanks to the ambulance attendants, emergency staff, nurses of 7N (Heather, Rachel, Megan, Amanda) and physicians (Dr. Cribb, Dr. Montgomery, Dr. Varma) for their exemplary care during such a difficult time for our family. Prayers will be held on Sunday, August 27, 2017 at 7:00 pm at OLPH Church, followed by the Funeral Mass on Monday, August 28, 2017 at 11:00 am with reception to follow in the Parish Centre. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to the R.I.H. Foundation.

Her family moved to BC and she had a happy childhood growing up in Enderby. As a teenager, she ventured to Kamloops to work at the Tranquille Sanatorium. Of all her various jobs, her favourite employment was as a nanny for families in Vancouver and Vernon, including the O'Keefe family. After a four year courtship, Nell and Michael married in Vancouver in October 1958. They resided in Kamloops and began their own family. She was a devoted mother to her children, a doting grandmother to her grandchildren and a delighted greatgrandmother to her great-grandchildren. Having family around made her happy. Nell was strong willed and always there for everyone. Her legacy of strength for enduring family bond will continue on in all of our hearts.

Garry Hook It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Garry Hook on August 14, 2017. Garry leaves behind a grieving wife Sue and their daughter Tinalee and family. He also leaves behind daughter Heather, son Reg, daughter Roxene, daughter Shereen and their families, brothers Rog, Rick, Harley and their families, and loving sisters Mae, Arti and their families. Garry was predeceased by father Reg, mother Bertha and Don Duncan, as well as brother Jim, sister Connie and Jimmy. Garry in his youth was a calf roper and rode bulls and broncs, which he loved. In later years, he was a rodeo contractor and started the Kamloops Indoor Rodeo. He never missed watching the rodeo in Vegas on TV, or the bull riding. He so loved raising cattle and raising thoroughbred race horses and racing them. It didn’t matter what endeavour he attempted, he was successful through hard work and dedication. He was a very loyal and trustworthy friend, so anyone that knew Garry always think of him as living in the hearts of the so many people he touched. As we all know, nothing loved is ever lost and Garry was always loved so very much. Special thanks to Dr. Howie for being our doctor and such a special person. Thank you to Dana Levere for bringing Garry to Ridgeview which became our home for almost three years. Thank you to Shawn for being so special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the staff and caregivers at Ridgeview for the care Garry received. Thank you for all the calls from so many people and thank you to Janet and Steve at Save On Foods for all your caring. Thank you Kim at Alternatives for the care you took of my husband through this journey. Thank you to my so dear friend Marti for the love and support. Thank you to my family for all the visits and phone calls of love. A special thank you to such a dear friend Marv Kempston. Funeral Services to be announced at a later date by daughter Shereen Hook.
