Plea expected in fatal hit-and-run case TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
FACEBOOK PHOTO Jason Gourlay is charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident and attempting to obstruct justice in connection with the death of Jennifer Gatey, a South Kamloops secondary student who was one day shy of her 17th birthday. The hit-andrun occurred on Nov. 4, 2016, in Aberdeen.

MARCH IS DENTISTRY MONTH
The man accused of killing a Kamloops teenager in a 2016 hit-and-run crash on a residential street near her family’s Aberdeen home is expected to agree to a plea deal, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has been told — something the teen’s father said would be “a great relief.” Jason Gourlay, 43, is charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident and attempting to obstruct justice in connection with the death of Jennifer Gatey, a South Kamloops secondary student one day shy of her 17th birthday. Gatey died on Nov. 4, 2016, after being struck by a vehicle on Pacific Way south of Aberdeen Drive, just behind her family’s home. She was walking to catch a bus to the Tournament Capital Centre for a workout. A Jeep belonging to Gourlay was identified early in the investigation as potentially having been involved in the incident. The vehicle was seized four days after the crash and has been in the care of police since. In court on Tuesday, Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said he and defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen are very close to an agreement for a guilty plea, but are still ironing out the details. “My friend and I have been engaged in resolution discussions for several weeks and we are both, I think, as confident as we can be that this matter is going to be resolved,” Flanagan said, noting he expects “certainty” by the end of the week. Cameron Gatey, Jennifer’s father, said the family is looking forward to closure —

hopefully sooner than later. “If there is in fact a guilty plea deal, it will be a great relief to our family,” he said. “It’s been a terribly troubling 18 months and one of the issues has been the fact no one has taken responsibility for the situation that has been created. To know that someone may be admitting guilt would bring some resolution.” Gatey said he has been “dreading” the thought of sitting through Gourlay’s potential trial. “It disturbs me greatly,” he said. “If it’s resolved with a conclusion where someone admits guilt, that would be a relief.” Lawyers will return to court Friday to update B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley on their progress. If a deal is not reached, a voir dire dealing with the admissibility of the Jeep as evidence is slated to begin later this month.

Millennia-old wisdom is inspiring millennials. In the sun-dappled backyard of the Cplul’kw’ten gathering place, a circle forms. Drums sound. A song rises, and weaves its way from student to elder, staff to faculty, joining those present and honouring the past. The Secwépemc people have lived here for millennia. Now, their wisdom is inspiring new learning opportunities across TRU through an initiative called Coyote Brings Food from the Upper World.

Firefighters managed to douse a blaze in a duplex at Kyle Drive and Westsyde Road on Monday afternoon, but not before the flames, smoke and water created considerable damage. Paramedics treated one person for undetermined injuries. More photos are online at www.kamloopsthisweek.com/duplexfire/.
Possessions lost in Westsyde duplex fire JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Online fundraising efforts has been launched to help those affected by a fire that damaged a Westsyde duplex on Monday afternoon. A GoFundMe campaign, online at https:// www.gofundme.com/help-waterhouse-family, seeks to raise $25,000 for the Waterhouse family, with the page stating: “The Waterhouse family lost everything in a devastating house fire in Kamloops, BC, on March 12th. The family needs to completely rebuild their lives including all necessities like furniture, clothing, etc. Funds will go to covering living necessities as well as veterinary bills, any related medical costs to patients impacted by the fire, and any costs as a result from any time needed taken off from work. We thank you for any contributions, big or small.” Another GoFundMe effort, online at https:// www.gofundme.com/t95cy-family-homedestroyed, is for the resident of the other duplex unit, with the page stating: “Today marks a very sad day. Our family home was destroyed by a fire that started in the
other sides basement. My mom has lost everything. She left with a few photos ( most of them was unsalvageable) that the firefighters were able to rescue and the clothing she was wearing. My mom will have to rebuild her life. The fire ripped through the house and has destroyed her world. Donations would be greatly appreciated during this hard time for her. She will need hotel stays, food, clothing , and basic necessities.” Crews responded to the house fire on Monday afternoon, with one person being treated for undetermined injuries. The call came in to Kamloops Fire Rescue at about 3:30 p.m., with smoke and flames appearing in a duplex at the northwest corner of Westsyde Road and Kyle Drive, just north of Centennial Park. The duplex is a Habitat for Humanity home that was built in 2014 to house two Kamloops families. The fire was extinguished by 4:10 p.m., with firefighters mopping up. Firefighters called for an ambulance to treat one patient at the scene, as well as police for traffic control. Kamloops Fire Rescue platoon captain Dave
Ferguson said crews were able to contain the flames to one of the two duplex units, adding there is smoke and water damage in the other unit. “On the one side, there is going to be extensive damage,” he said, noting firefighters from four halls responded to the blaze. Ferguson said it is too early to determine what caused the fire, which began in the basement of one of the units. Westsyde Road was closed while firefighters dealt with the incident, with traffic backed up for kilometres in both directions. “There is no alternative route around this incident,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. Julian Stodola arrived early at the scene of the fire. His car was parked in a long line on Westsyde Road, vehicles filled with motorists, halted as they headed home at the end of the work day. Stodola, who is retired, lives on the other side of Kyle Drive. “A lot of smoke,” he said. “A lot of dense white and black smoke. It’s just amazing how quickly it was burning, how intensely it was burning.”

Camille guilty in 2016 stabbing death TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The sister of a Kamloops man slain in a Valleyview motel suite two years ago says her family feels relieved now that her brother’s killer has been found guilty — and could potentially serve an indefinite length of time behind bars. More than 30 people crowded into a Kamloops courtroom on Tuesday to hear that verdict read to Gordon Camille, 67, who was convicted of manslaughter in connection with the 2016 stabbing death of 49-year-old Dennis Adolph. “It is relief,” said Carol Finney, Adolph’s sister, who attended most of Camille’s trial, which began in late January. “I can’t believe it is over.” Adolph was found dead on Jan. 26, 2016, in the 4 Seasons Motel suite he shared with Camille. The two men were related through marriage, court heard, and it was Camille who alerted motel staff to Adolph’s injuries on the morning of his death. Camille co-operated with police following the incident, but was arrested 10 days later.
Dennis Adolph (above) was killed in a room at the 4 Seasons Motel in Valleyview (left) on Jan. 26, 2016.
He admitted under questioning from investigators to having been responsible for Adolph’s death, but that admission was ruled inadmissible by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes last month. In Holmes’ reasons for that decision, she mentioned Camille’s vulnerability and his apparent “acquiescence in what appeared to be an unavoidable process and an inevitable result.” The Crown proceeded with an
entirely circumstantial case including Adolph and Camille’s DNA on a knife, grainy video surveillance footage and the testimony of a forensic pathologist. Defence lawyer Ken Walker suggested Adolph could have been stabbed outside the room. One video surveillance clip appeared to show Adolph walking wounded back to the room he shared with Camille. Walker also asked Holmes to

consider whether Adolph might have injured himself, whether by accident or intentionally. Adolph died of blood loss, having been stabbed once in the abdomen. Court heard his blood-alcohol level at the time of his death was .40 — five times the legal limit to drive and potentially deadly on its own, according to the doctor who performed Adolph’s autopsy. “The body of evidence established beyond a reasonable doubt
that Mr. Camille was the only person in the room with Mr. Adolph when he was stabbed and died,” Holmes said. “Accidental or deliberate selfharm is not a reasonable inference. The only reasonable inference is that Mr. Camille stabbed Mr. Adolph.” Holmes ordered Camille to undergo an assessment to determine whether the Crown proceeds with a dangerous offender application — a sentencing proceeding that could see him jailed indefinitely. Camille has a violent criminal record, including another manslaughter conviction in 1984. In that instance, he drunkenly shot his spouse while she sat in an outhouse, then confessed to a neighbour and, later, to police. He has also served jail time for two separate stabbings in Kamloops — one in 1998 and the other in 2008 — as well as a 1994 stomping incident. Each of the offences, as well as Adolph’s slaying, involved alcohol use. Camille’s dangerous-offender assessment will be completed within 60 days. He is scheduled to return to court on May 14.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Christine Linton (as Charlotte Thompson) shows Dallas elementary students how to make fire with flint and leads them in a rousing rendition of Alouette. Linton’s sessions, which run for 90 minutes, start out with an introduction to Charlotte and David Thompson and an explanation of the fur trade of 1815.
BRINGING HISTORY TO LIFE IN THE CLASSROOM DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER

W
hen Charlotte Thompson entered Jennifer Moretti’s classroom, the Grade 4 students ran to hug her. They’ve come to know the wife of fur trader and map-maker David Thompson well. There was no hesitation when Charlotte asked them to check out what she was wearing to determine what was different from her last visit with them. They recognized her green and black blanket coat, although one student was curious to learn what material was used to make the buttons. Metal, Charlotte told them, before asking the students to describe the fur-trade fashion she was wearing. “Itchy,” many of them shouted out to a smile and nod from Charlotte, a Métis who, with 13 children, often travelled with David on his expeditions across the country. Charlotte told the students the plan for this visit, one of nine planned at Dallas elementary, was to write in their journals before she
would be talking to them about more clothing — pants and underwear in particular. She would then teach them how to make fire with steel and a flint and give the kids a taste of some food she had whipped up for them — a hominy corn and pork concoction she, David and many other Voyageurs who travelled the country relied on daily. Charlotte uses Ojibway symbols and has been teaching the students how to use them. To record the weather on the day KTW visited, she asked them how they would indicate it was a sunny day. Forget about the usual circle with rays coming out. For the Ojibway, it was an upside down and quite wide U. “When it’s sunny, there is no line under it. We don’t show the horizon, right?” she asked to nods of agreement. “But, if something is in the sky, put the horizon line.” More nods. Other voyageur terms reviewed included “the necessary,” which is a washroom, and Adam’s ale — water. Charlotte talked about fellow voyageur Jean-Baptiste Cadeau and how important his pipe was, not only for him, but for all those travelling with him. “If Jean-Baptiste told you he had 10 pipe breaks, how would your

face look?” she asked to immediate smiles. “And if he said two, how would your face look?” Frowns abounded and Charlotte explained 10 pipe breaks would mean the fur trappers would be paddling in the river for 10 hours, but would get a break every 15 minutes. Two pipe breaks meant they would paddle for two hours and spend the rest of the day on foot toting heavy packs. Charlotte took the class through a discussion of clothing, showing voyageur pants and underwear, beckoning one student to come up and try on the underclothing.
The message was clear — the short pants, which stopped at the knees, had a flap at the front that would unbutton when it was time for “the necessary.” The underwear covered the legs, but left the front and back open for what was necessary. Christine Linton has been creating Charlotte for 28 years. When she’s not in schools presenting her nine sessions called Charlotte’s Fur Trade, she works at Hat Creek Ranch, sharing her love of history there. Linton said she started the series while living in Ontario and working
at Old Fort William in Thunder Bay, an historical attraction devoted to re-creating the days of the North West Company, Voyageurs and the fur trade. Her daughter’s teacher asked her to share some of her knowledge and the project grew from there. She’s been doing it in Kamloops schools for the past decade through her work at the Ashcroft ranch’s education programming. Her fur-trade sessions, which run for 90 minutes, begin with an introduction to Charlotte and David and the fur trade of 1815 and have students sew their own journals. In subsequent sessions, she shows kids how to make glass-bead necklaces, Ojibway bread and a voyageur pouch and play games and sings songs from the era. On the day KTW visited, students performed a rousing version of the French-Canadian song Alouette and learned how to make sparks with flint and steel. Moretti said the students look forward to Charlotte’s visits. Moretti said she could teach them the same things, but she would still be Mrs. Moretti. When Linton arrives in her itchy coat, long dress and many bead necklaces, it’s Charlotte Thompson entering the room — and history comes to life.

Utilities Commission has now refused to implement the freeze, instead approving a three per cent increase effective April 1. Energy Minister Michelle Mungall blamed the previous B.C. Liberal government for its mismanagement of BC Hydro, while praising the independence of the BCUC. (Residents left freezing in the dark can certainly take some solace in that.) But the rate freeze that wasn’t is only the latest example that fiction and falsehoods have become a political reality. Remember that $400 renters rebate? Premier John Horgan sure hopes not because it’s nowhere to be seen. Are you looking for $10-aday child care? Well, keep looking because even an electron microscope couldn’t help you find that in this year’s provincial budget. And the provincial NDP government is not alone in this. It is an issue that transcends borders and political stripes. Justin Trudeau campaigned on getting rid of the first-past-the-post electoral system. Fast forward one majority mandate for the federal Liberals and it seems the current voting system works just fine. And that promise to legalize marijuana by July 1? Up in smoke — or, at least, smoldering for a while. The list goes on and on for politicians going on and on with promises that never quite made it into legislation. So, get ready for higher energy bills. But instead of cursing the darkness, voters must vow to hold our political leaders to account when their promises fail to see the light of day. How many days until the next election?

Don’t silence journalism
T
wo years ago, Justin Brake was praised by the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Commission for his reporting on an Indigenous standoff in that province. The commission went on to later nominate him for one of its annual human rights awards. One year ago, Canada dropped from 18th to the 22nd spot in an annual ranking on freedom of the press that is compiled by Reporters Without Borders, an international nonprofit, non-governmental organization that promotes freedom of the press and access to information. One of the four reasons cited for that drop in ranking was Brake and the work he did as a reporter-editor for The Independent, an online publication in Newfoundland and Labrador. On Monday, a judge in Labrador ruled criminal charges laid against Brake would be moving forward. He’ll be spending time fighting to prove he was just doing his job when police charged him with mischief, disobeying a court order and civil contempt. His crime? He entered a camp of people protesting planned work at the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador. A provincial Crown corporation wanted to build a multi-billiondollar hydroelectric dam at the falls on Churchill River to help move the province to renewable energy and away from oil dependency.
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL The Nunatsiavut government, which represents Labrador’s Inuit population, expressed concerns the Crown corporation wasn’t properly managing the risk of methylmercury at the site contaminating the river and flowing downstream to a community of Inuit people. The Indigenous weren’t the only people protesting; many others from the area joined them as they set up a camp at the dam site — and invited Brake in to report on their concerns. In praising Brake, the province’s human rights commission chair said the committee choosing nominees for its award “was inspired by your courage to conduct journalism and tell the stories of the people affected by the Muskrat Project, despite the risks involved.” That’s the job sometimes. We may spend a lot of time sifting through and following up on press releases, covering press conferences, dealing with angry — and thankful — readers, but it’s also our job to follow those big stories, the ones with major
consequences on people. It’s why the Committee to Protect Journalists keeps an ever-growing tally of journalists killed while just doing their jobs. Last year, for example, there were 74 of them. I’m not sure it’s possible to keep tabs on how many journalists are charged with offences for doing their jobs, but a quick Google check brought up a lot of stories about reporters, producers and photographers being charged in the U.S. last year. Six reporters who were covering protests during President Donald Trump’s inauguration, for example, were charged with rioting and faced up to a decade in prison. Which brings me back to Brake. The province’s human rights commission praised him. The province’s court system sees a crime in the way he simply did his job. He faces criminal and civil charges, all laid by the government in some way. It’s ridiculous. It fails to acknowledge the role of the journalist in society. It’s a temper tantrum by a government Brake embarrassed by reporting Indigenous concerns. And, if you’re wondering why this is important to us in B.C., there are many reasons. First, journalism matters. It simply does. And when one provincial government uses its powers to try to suppress it or create a chill for those who do it, who’s to say another government won’t do the same thing? dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
COUNCIL GOT GRAVEL DECISON CORRECT
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Editor: Kudos to those city councillors who voted to deny a temporary-use permit for a gravel storage business to operate at 7905 Dallas Dr. I intended to attend the meeting and oppose this asinine idea of storing gravel next door to a well-established residential area. Unfortunately, I was called away at the last minute. It appears the strategy to
RE: STORY: ONLINE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN FOR KAMLOOPS FAMILY WHO LOST POSSESSIONS IN WESTSYDE HOUSE FIRE:
pay high incomes to attract the so-called best people on city administration is somewhat flawed, since some of them were recommending acceptance of this foolish proposal. Did we not just reject a mine at our doorstep out of fear of dust, noise and other pollutants that would negatively affect our city and lifestyle? The additional concern I had was having large, fully loaded or even heavy, unloaded gravel
trucks find their way down Dallas Drive, possibly speeding and rambling through our residential areas and school zone, shaking homes as they bumped along our already potholed and poorly patched road, causing even more pavement deterioration. I have already noticed some gravel truck operators hauling from Barnhartvale bullying smaller vehicles and speeding to presumably make better time
so they may increase their haulage from point A to point B. I have been behind a couple of these trucks heading west from Dallas on Highway 1 and observed them running red lights in Valleyview while fully loaded. I am, therefore, not a bit disappointed to see this proposal nixed. Bob Wren Kamloops
RE: PHOTO: WRAPPING A RIBBON AROUND KIDNEY CARE:
KAMLOOPS STORM SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON THE ISLAND Editor: I believe the move of the Kamloops Storm junior B hockey club to Memorial Arena downtown from McArthur Island on the North Shore was a bad move. I am a Kamloops Blazers’ season-ticket holder, but when the Blazers were on their lengthy
road trips, I would go to Storm games on McArthur Island because the hockey — and access — were good. Being handicapped, I found that parking was good (plenty of handicap spots), along with a parking lot cleared of snow making it easy to come and go. The arena on McArthur
Island has good seating with backs on chairs, along with an elevator to get to the seating. Memorial Arena has poor parking with only a couple of handicap spots and the everpresent windrows to climb over. I’m not doing that. I felt there was a loyal following of locals on McArthur Island
who were not going to make the trek downtown. It appeared the attendance was good on McArthur Island and I am not surprised when it dwindled at Memorial. It would be sad to see the team leave Kamloops. John M. Birk Kamloops
WE HAVE NOTHING WITHOUT OIL, GAS AND MINING Editor: In the recent squabble between B.C. and Alberta over oil delivery, I have to wonder what is going on with this province. Are people who protest oil, gas and mining not quite up to speed on their education? If these people would stop driving their
cars or SUVs and move into a grass house with a wood-burning source of heat, I would say they can complain and protest all they want. But it is time they give their heads a shake. Everything we drive, live and play on comes from oil, gas and mining. Do they understand Canada is ranked
near the bottom for total greenhouse-gas emissions? Why are we voting in people who are against oil, gas and mining? They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Well, no more, because guess where grease comes from? Jamie Paluck Kamloops

t goes without saying that providing education to more than 14,000 students in several communities across hundreds of kilometres of the Southern Interior is no small feat. School District 73 has an annual budget of more than $175 million, employs nearly 2,000 people and maintains scores of buildings, vehicles and other infrastructure. It’s a job that is only possible if people work together. Teamwork is a key principle that drives how we go about the day-to-day work of providing education, so much so that its core attributes are embedded in SD73’s five-year strategic plan. Priority No. 4 of our plan states we will “foster an inclusive, adaptable and accountable district culture.” The wording for this

priority was carefully chosen. Being “inclusive,” for example, goes to the heart of teamwork. SD73 recognizes that communities are made up of unique individuals with differing skills, philosophies, cultural perspectives, ideas and strengths. When different perspectives come together in common purpose, it creates an opportunity for new approaches — particularly in problem solving — to emerge.
up to them builds strong teams because when we are accountable, everyone on a team knows they can count on the others around them for support. We can trust that others will do their work to the best of their ability, allowing us to do the same. Defining the key building blocks of teamwork in the manner we have in our five-year strategic plan shows our district is doing more than paying lip service to the concept of teamwork. We want all the people who make up our district to work together so that we can achieve our prime goal and objective — giving our children the education they deserve. I won’t suggest we are perfect, nor that there is no room for improvement. Any organization as large as School District
73 will struggle at times to collaborate. We will disagree from time to time about any number of things, such as how to interpret language in our collective agreements, for example. That doesn’t mean our team falls apart. Using the five-year strategic plan as a guide, we can move toward resolution in a manner that fosters the understanding that we must stand together as we work towards our goals.

An inclusive culture respects the needs of its members, which ultimately provides the climate for people to feel they are safe in their roles. Inclusive teams feel like more than just a group of individuals; they are joined together by bonds more like that of family or friends. Being “adaptable” means our people have the autonomy to do the work required in the face of changing conditions. Our world is always changing and we need to change with it as we provide our young people with the skills they need to succeed. Adaptability builds teams that know how to co-operate, especially when changes are needed. And, lastly, being “accountable” is a key part of teamwork. Setting standards and expecting people to live

Editor: We have to pay for parking when visiting the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital, which is disgusting. In the past year, I have had to rush two loved ones to the ER. While I was in there with one, I came out to find a parking ticket. I was with someone in serious distress and could not stop and put money in the meter — nor did I even think of paying for parking. I refused to pay for the ticket and I
now have a bill collector sending me letters, demanding $57. This is money I will not pay out of principle. Let me get this straight: I’m in what I think may very well be a lifeor-death situation and I’m supposed to stop and play with the damn parking machine? It’s ridiculous and beyond shameful.

Clarification A March 7 column written by Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers contained incorrect information about previous and new tax subsidies at the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre. The subsidy is the shortfall between the total facility revenue, including admission fees, program fees, and rentals, and the total facility expenses, including staff wages, maintenance and program costs. According to the city, in 2014, the per visit subsidy per visit at Westsyde was $12.65. The per visit subsidy in 2018 is predicted to be $11.36. On Feb. 27, Kamloops council supported staff’s recommendation to increase Westsyde staffing levels by 2.28 full-
time equivalent employees, with an annual increase of $125,666. “It is reasonable to assume an additional increase in visits and revenues based on extending the operating hours and service levels to the community. This projected increase will help offset the total subsidy and decreases the projected subsidy to $11.36 per visit,” said Byron McCorkell, the city’s director of community and protective services. “The City of Kamloops believes that the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre plays an integral role in the program and service delivery to the Westsyde community and contributes to the overall well-being of the citizens in our community.”

The body found in a settlement pond at Domtar’s pulp mill on Mission Flats Road is that of a Williams Lake wildfire evacuee who was reported missing last summer. The death of 67-year-old David Michael Jeff is not considered suspicious. A Domtar worker found Jeff’s body in the pond on March 7. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an autopsy conducted on Monday led to the identity of Jeff and to an indication his death is non-suspicious in nature. Jeff was among the thousands of people in the B.C. Interior evacuated from their homes during last summer’s wildfires. He came to Kamloops in July and was reported missing on July 31, leading to an extensive search for him by police, family and friends. Shelkie said police are asking for the public’s help in determining a timeline of Jeff’s activities prior to his death and how he came to be on the Domtar property, where his body was found. “To this end, Kamloops RCMP are

One dead in highway crash west of Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The investigation continues into last week’s fatal crash on Highway 1 in Cherry Creek. One person was killed and four others taken to Royal Inland Hospital on March 6 following a head-on collision on the highway near Greenstone Mountain Road, about a half-kilometre west of the Cherry Creek gas station. RCMP Sgt. Mike Pears said the crash occurred at 1:40 p.m. Pears said a westbound pickup
truck carrying only a driver crashed head-in into an eastbound pickup truck with four people inside. The driver of the westbound truck died at the scene and the four occupants of the eastbound truck were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Pears said the cause of the collision is still under investigation by Kamloops Rural RCMP, Central Interior Traffic Services, Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service and the BC Coroners Service.
DRIVE WITH CARE It’s that time of year again... Potholes are formed when water seeps into small cracks in the asphalt and freezes, especially during a repeated freeze-thaw cycle. During the winter months, potholes can only be temporarily repaired until warmer, drier weather. City crews operate 24 hours/day Monday to Friday patching potholes. Until they can be permanently repaired, motorists should stay vigilant. We encourage you to report potholes by calling 250-828-3461 or using the myKamloops app at www.kamloops.ca/mykamloops.

City housing contruction expected to remain robust MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Local housing construction got off to an impressive start in 2018 compared to last year — and it’s expected to stay hot for the next few years. In January and February, there were 94 new housing starts in the Kamloops area, up from 12 over the same time period in 2017, according to data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. One reason for the spike is the fact inventory of completed and unsold housing is smaller this year than it was in the first two months of last year, CMHC senior analyst Taylor Pardy told KTW. “Builders [might have been] a little more hesitant to take on new projects at that time, whereas this year the story’s a little bit different,” Pardy said.
The statistics show new apartment units made up the majority of those 94 new housing starts, with 49, compared to none during the first two months of last year. Pardy said there was one new apartment complex that broke ground in January, which makes up most of that number. There were 39 new singledetached housing starts these past two months up, from 10 in 2017. Housing completions in the first two months of 2018 totalled 121, compared to 61 over the same time period in 2017. Pardy said the CMHC is forecasting “another few strong years in terms of housing starts in Kamloops,” in part due to an increasing population. “We monitor a bunch of different variables that we consider in our forecasting [and] one of the key
ones is net migration and how that contributes to population growth,” he said. Over the past two to three years, there has been a significant number of people moving to Kamloops from out of province and from other B.C. communities, he said. “This has been contributing to some stronger housing demand in the area,” Pardy said, noting homes have been selling well in the Kamloops market, a trend that is expected to continue. In 2017, Kamloops saw 658 new housing starts and the CMHC is expecting more of the same this year, Pardy said. “Anywhere between 570 to 640 housing starts for 2018,” he said. Last year’s housing starts in Kamloops were down from 697 the CMHC recorded in 2016. The CMHC is forecasting between 540 and 650 housing starts for 2019.

School District No. 73 has added first vice-president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers Association Laurel Macpherson to the task force on student safety. Not included in the initial announcement of members, the addition of Macpherson came after a conversation with KTTA president Amanda Jensen on Monday, SD73 superintendent Alison Sidow told KTW. “We talked about the importance of the committee and making sure we had sufficient perspectives from teachers, particularly those who deal with social justice issues,” Sidow said. Macpherson chairs KTTA’s social justice committee and works as a special education teacher in SD73. In February, Sidow announced the creation of the task force — officially called the Superintendent’s Task Force on Student Safety — in the wake of complaints from parents of

two students who claim the district failed to protect their children from sexual harassment and intimidation. One of the parents who lodged a complaint alleged her elementaryaged daughter was assaulted by male students and claimed administration at her daughter’s school failed to call the police or the Ministry of Family and Child Development when informed of the incident. The parent also alleged a critical incident report was not filed. “There are now two teachers on the task force,” Sidow said, noting task force member and school district family consultant Tom Beveridge is also a teacher. She said parents also have representation on the task force, pointing out social worker Dionne Mohammed is a parent of an SD73 student. “We selected her because she is also a current parent of a student in the system and can also bring perspective both from the parent perspective and the Aboriginal perspective,” Sidow said. In forming the committee, Sidow said the focus was to have “subject matter” experts. “We really looked to select people who have in-depth knowledge and experience with the topic, and I’m really proud of the group of people who have stepped forward to help us with this really important job,” Sidow said. The role of the task force will be to conduct interviews and focus groups with teachers, students and others who can provide information that will help inform the recommendations com-
ing out of the task force, Sidow said. She said she is open to hearing from the task force whether SD73 policies are providing enough guidance to administrators and if there’s any new practices, such as educational programs, that would help address peer-to-peer sexual harassment. “We believe that we have strong policies, but it may be that it’s in the implementation of those policies that the issues lie,” Sidow told KTW. Recommendations from a review of the two most recent incidents of sexual harassment in the school district will be made privy to the task force for its consideration, Sidow added. “There’s some good information there about what we could do differently,” Sidow said. “I think that the power of the task force is that we have experts there and if there’s things we can do differently then I want to hear it and I want to then follow through with the recommendations that they set.” The task force will report to Sidow, who will present a report to trustees by June 30. The addition of Macpherson brings the number of representatives on the task force to 10, and Sidow noted plenty of people came forward to offer their services. “We actually had to say no to several people who were interested,” Sidow said, adding that there were about 10 others they couldn’t accommodate as the task force could only be so big. The task force will be chaired by Michelle Marginet., who has three decades of experience in health, safety and
workplace management specializing in the public sector. She helped develop the district’s policies for health, safety, bullying, harassment and intimidation and chaired the district’s Superintendent’s Task Force on Safety and Security in 2013, following the mass killings at Sandy Hook elementary in Newtown, Conn. Also on the task force are trustee Joan Cowden, school district Aboriginal education worker Vicki Hanson, clinical counsellor Barb Gladdish from the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre, Ministry of Children and Families team leader Jacqueline Judd, school district director of student support services Trish Smillie, RCMP school resource officer Const. Sofie Winkels and Sa-Hali secondary principal Sean Lamoureux. In announcing the creation of the task force, Sidow said that, based on discussions with parents and students involved in the complaints and a review of the district’s policies, she came to the conclusion the policies and protocols need to be improved. Sidow said she also found “that there are cultural drivers at work that may inhibit our ability to respond effectively to sexual violence against women and girls.” Sidow said the task force will examine policies, protocols and practices to ensure they address actions required when dealing with perpetrators and consider the needs of victims. In addition, Sidow said the district is seeking the advice of experts in the field of violence risk threat assessment through the Safer Schools Together organization.
Biosolids group a go The city will continue to produce biosolids. The question is how to deal with them. That will be the focus of a new stakeholder group that will advise Kamloops city council on long-term biosolids strategies. “At the end of the day, we will continue to produce biosolids,” said the city’s civic operations director, Jen Fretz. Councillor Arjun Singh expressed
concern about “alarmist” information “devoid of scientific facts” around the treated waste. Representatives from Interior Health Thompson-Nicola Regional District, Ministry of Environment and Tk’emlups te Secwepemc have been invited to take part in the group. Two council members were also asked to put their names forward to Mayor Ken Christian in the next weeks to round out the group’s membership.

Residents who would like to hear the mayor’s annual State of the City address to the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce on Thursday night can reserve a limited number of free seats or stream the presentation online. “If somebody just wants to hear the mayor’s speech, they are welcome to come after the dinner,” said Deb McClelland, the chamber’s executive director. “The main thing that people need to understand is this is a Chamber
of Commerce event, so the mayor will be addressing business issues.” The free seats in the back of the Rivers Room at Hotel 540 come after the Chamber was criticized online for charging $90 for non-members to attend the annual event. Chamber members pay $75. McClelland said the ticket fees cover the cost of the venue and dinner, among other event expenses unrelated to fundraising. About 10 seats at the back will be available.

WKIMEDIA COMMONS PHOTO The Theresienstadt concentration camp near Prague, Czech Republic, is now a historic site open to the public. During the Second World War, Germany sent 140,000 people to Theresienstadt. Only 17,000 survived. Vera Schiff was one of the survivors and she will be speaking at Thompson Rivers University on Thursday night. All free tickets have been claimed, but KTW interviewed Schiff earlier this week.
Holocaust survivor: ‘People have to understand’ DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
hen Vera Schiff speaks to an audience, it’s never an easy task. She’s passionate about her message, but in relaying it, she has to revisit a time in her life she hopes no one ever again has to experi-
ence. Schiff is a survivor of the Holocaust. She was the only member of her family to emerge from Theresienstadt, a concentration camp near Prague. Her grandmother, parents and sister died there. “Of course it is difficult. It is difficult for every survivor,” Schiff told KTW. “I lost every single family member. Then again, not everything you perceive as correct and right to do is easy.” The 91-year-old Schiff will bring her story and her warnings about not letting history repeat itself to Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building at TRU on Thursday night. The free event’s tickets have all been claimed. Schiff was born in Prague in 1926 and her family had a comfortable life. Her dad was in the finance ministry. They were Jewish, but hadn’t been affected by the turmoil around them.
Vera Schiff as photographed by Roy Danics.
Life became difficult when the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939. First, they weren’t allowed to go outside, a situation that lasted until 1945, when they were taken to the camp. Her grandmother died on the way to Theresienstadt. The camp experience included starvation, infections, night blindness, infestations of lice, fleas and bedbugs, as well as tuberculosis. Her sister, Eva, became sick within three months and died. Later, her mother became ill and also died.
Schiff, who had a job in the camp hospital, was sent to clean her mother’s area and, in doing so, found her diary, with messages to her daughter about how to move forward if she survived the camp. That diary later became one of the many books Schiff has written, translated into English and published as A Theresienstadt Diary. Schiff has written several other books about the Holocaust, each based on her belief today’s generation needs “to understand it, to absorb it, to learn from it. “I remember in 1945, when the war ended, we all shouted, ‘Never again!’ — and we did not succeed. It happened again and again and again … In many parts of the world, as we speak, people are dying in conflicts. The world never learned.” Schiff believes the Second World War could have been avoided if other world leaders had seen German’s leader, Adolph Hitler, “was bluffing and full of arrogance. Instead, they served up on a silver platter half of Europe.” Schiff conceded the Holocaust is now seven decades and three generations in the past, but said the lesson is important as ever. “Make the message clear, loud and important,” she said. “People have to understand. People have to absorb it.”

Some prom dresses that may have been languishing at the back of closets have new life now — courtesy of students at the Kamloops School of the Arts. After all, what’s a fancy ball for a fabulous prince without equally elegant attire? Teacher Katrina Melan said many of the cast members for the school’s production of Cinderella found gowns in their mothers’ or sisters’ wardrobes, but others came in through donations to ensure
the girls and boys are dressed appropriately. Yes, boys, Melan said, because cast members play more than one role and, for the ballroom and slipper tryout scenes, there are some decidedly lower voices in the mix. That was one of the goals she set in choosing the play — by having to play more than one part, the students learn about creating characters, something many of them have not done before. For most of the Grade 8 students, this is their first time taking part in creating theatre, Jack Henderson, for exam-
ple, is not only King Cornelius, but also the fairy godmother who sends Cinderella off on her eventual journey to love. He said “it’s been quite the experience” creating the regal and the magical. Melan said she liked the script because of the issues it raises, dealing with many issues kids need to know. Some cast members have performed under her direction before. Many of those now in Grade 9 took part last year in the school’s production of Get Smart. There aren’t only students out on stage; the technical crew is also composed of the-
atre students. The set in the school’s black box theatre has been built through the years by students, with different components added annually. Theatre is a key component at the school, which has an education philosophy built on the arts. In its school improvement plan, for example, one of the three goals set is to provide an arts-infused projectbased learning environment for all students. The play will be presented on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and on Thursday and Saturday at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 and tickets can be purchased at the school office.

COMMUNITY
Chowing down on the role of food in our culture MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A crowd of about 150 people were treated to a five-course panel discussion on food and its role in our culture during Thompson Rivers University’s I Days (International Days) last week. Each of the five panelists were given a few minutes to answer prepared questions, each providing their own unique perspective on the need for a paradigm shift when it comes to harvesting food to one more focused on sustainability. Ethnobotanist Dawn Morrison spoke of the need to view land, water, plants and animals in a concentric way and not as a commodity. “We don’t think of ourselves as controlling nature, rather it controls us,” Morrison
said of the First Nations worldview. Freelance journalist Taras Grescoe told the crowd about a wine tour of Greece, where he was able to witness the passion local winemakers brought to their work. “I think that we’ve put a lot of connoisseurship and a lot of fancy labels on food,” he said, noting what he discovered was that despite not making much money, the vintners all had love for the grape. “For me, food is love,” Grescoe said. “It’s a love for the earth, it’s a love for your loved ones and it’s a way of connecting with the earth no matter which culture you come from.” Chef Ned Bell, who founded Chefs for Oceans to advocate for responsible seafood choices, spoke of the need to allow Mother
Nature to recover and to live “ocean-wise” lives by refraining from eating types of fish whose numbers have been depleted over the years. He said those in his profession have a unique opportunity to engage in this area and challenged the audience to eat sustainable seafood once a week and, once a month, something from the ocean they’ve never eaten before, noting that there are 10,000 edible plants in the saltwater that dominates the planet. Rebecca Keen, an organic farmer and owner of Crannog Ales and Left Fields in Sorrento, said the agriculture industry is in need of a restructuring. “As farmers, instead of talking about growing commodities or producing things, we can talk about ourselves as farmers, as
stewards, as people who take care of the land and grow food for our communities,” she said. “That sort of linguistic change, while it seems really minor, if you start integrating that into the way you’re actually living, it changes the entire way that you relate to the land and to your community — and it allows you to
start taking care instead of taking profit.” She said there needs to be more support for small-scale agriculture that is appropriate to the region. To close out the night, Hawaiian keynote speaker Dr. Manulani Aluli Meyer, who works in food sovereignty and wilderness education, spoke of the need
for a sharing economy. She also told the crowd of a three-day food sovereignty event she held with some of her students on the island of Oahu. “They loved it. They loved feeding for 100 to 150 people for three days. They had absolutely no idea how they were going to do it, but that was the class,” Meyer said.

Bill Amy, the man behind the transformation of Sun Rivers Golf Course and Hoodoos Restaurant into the Bighorn Golf and Country Club and Bighorn Bar and Grill. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Bighorn begins to take shape at Sun Rivers TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
If Sun Rivers had a mayor, he might look like Bill Amy. The 10-year resident of the community has been the driving force behind the purchase and rebranding of Sun Rivers’ restaurant and golf course, both of which will soon be open to the public under new names and, in the case of what used to be Hoodoos, a decidedly different look. Bighorn Golf and Country Club and Bighorn Bar and Grill are both expected to open for business later this month, the former dependent on the weather and the latter undergoing finishing touches in preparation for a soft launch in the coming weeks. “I have passion for it,” Amy told KTW. “I realized if somebody didn’t step forward, the golf course would have closed. The Hoodoos building needed new life. My goal was I wanted to put a little life back into the community. It was gone. I think we will reinstall that.” After an initial attempt to purchase the two properties from Sun Rivers fell through in 2016, Amy sold 300 shares at $5,000 a pop to raise half the cash for a $3-million
purchase that was completed late last year. Once the sale went through, Amy said he went to work renovating the restaurant. His work has transformed the bar side of the building, changing it from a Western theme to a contemporary feel with 12 screens, 12 taps and plenty of room. Part of the work included claiming some space for the bar from the pro shop, a corner Amy said will be called the Bobby D Room in honour of Bob Davoren, a longtime Sun Rivers resident and golfer who died in May after a lengthy battle with cancer. Davoren was known in the community for his large collection of sports memorabilia, some of which will be on display in the room bearing his name. Another room in the restaurant will be named Hoodoos, Amy said, a nod to the first occupant of the building. Amy said he hopes to attract a younger crowd to the golf course and the bar. He plans to offer shuttle service downtown on weekends and, next season, to Kamloops Blazers games. “My goal is this will be the best bar in Kamloops,” he said. “When you think about it, we’ve got the best view. There are a lot of good bars in this town and we’ve got a lot of good competition. But I love competition.”
It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.
The next step, he said, will be work on the lower level of the building. According to Amy, a meeting space downstairs will be doubled in capacity to 174 to accommodate weddings and golf tournaments. Also downstairs, former Sun Rivers office space will be converted, potentially into a space for a spa or hairdresser, he said. “I’m a very community-oriented guy,” Amy said. “I live here. I want to get this done.” Other projects included in Amy’s plans include a playground, pickleball courts, a new pro shop building and a six-hole Par 3 course. Amy said he has received a lot of positive feedback so far and he is excited to get the restaurant and golf course open. “The community now owns it. There’s no way this building will ever be closed and there’s no way the golf course will ever turn into real estate — and that’s because the community owns it,” he said. “I just truly believe that when people come and see what we’ve done, how can they not be excited when they come in here? “This is just the start. Come and see what we did.”

Sun Peaks eyes $7-million event centre expansion
A new multi-purpose indoor facility in Sun Peaks that could hold 3,000 people, something big enough to host concerts, large sporting events, trade shows, will cost about $7 million. The project is expected to be completed in 2020.
Sometime in 2020, Al Raine is hoping to see big-name performers or events heading to Sun Peaks every couple of weeks. The mayor of the resort municipality said that vision has taken another step toward reality with the announcement of a plan to create a multi-purpose indoor facility that could hold 3,000 people, something big enough to host concerts, large sporting events, trade shows — reasons to head up to Tod Mountain year-round. The project is expected to cost $7.1 million; the federal gas tax will provide $6 million through its strategic initiative program. The community has already raised $1.8 million that is dedicated to an ice-making plant, rink and land purchase. Raine said Sun Peaks’ challenge is never the winter season. Skiers and snowboarders come from around the world to enjoy the amenities. “Our challenge is the summer and shoulder seasons,” Raine said. In recent years, summer music concerts have been added to the list of events designed to bring people there when there is no snow. “But I’d love to have 3,000 who pay a reasonable fee than 800 who come for free,” he said. The existing sport centre will be expanded to create the new centre. “For the residents of Sun Peaks, this is an important turning point,” Raine said. “Our goal is to make Sun Peaks a strong summer and off-season resort and this project gives us the tools to succeed.” He said he hopes to see construction start later this year and be done by 2020.
Thank you for the trust and inspiration, Kamloops! Till next time!

CHBA-CI’s Rose Choy wins provincial award Rose Choy, executive officer with the Central Interior chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, displays two awards the organization won. One honours Choy as the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C.’s executive officer of the year/ The other awards went to the CHBA-CI for outstanding achievement in membership recruitment.

She’s the glue that holds everyone together. The Canadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C. has named CHBA-Central Interior’s Rose Choy as executive officer of the year. Choy received the provincial award in recognition of her leadership, dedication and professionalism in her role with the local chapter — one of nine in British Columbia. “It’s such an awesome feeling because you’re being recognized provincially,” Choy told KTW. “It’s such a privilege to be honoured. Everybody is doing an amazing job across the province.” CHBA-Central Interior president Rob Lemire said Choy’s work with fellow chapters is one of the reasons she was recognized. “She’s always there for all the other chapters when they need her as well,” Lemire said. As executive officer, Choy oversees every aspect of the
local chapter’s operations. “She runs the events, she creates some of the events — everything from our education portion to our dinner meetings. She’s basically the stickhandler of all of it,” Lemire said. In describing her role with CHBA-Central Interior, Choy said she acts as the glue holding everything together when it comes to the organization’s various projects and events.
The flagship project for CHBA-Central Interior is the Training House it constructs each year with the help of trades students from Thompson Rivers University before being raffled off as the Y Dream Home to support the YMCA/YWCA. Choy works with the project manager and the other organizations involved to ensure everything runs smoothly. “That’s the biggest part
of my job,” she said. In addition to various fundraisers, the CHBA-Central Interior also hosts the Keystone Awards, recognizing development projects built in the region. “It’s like the Oscars for the construction industry,” Choy said. CHBA-Central Interior is also the voice of professional residential building in the Central Interior region.
“We advocate for our industry. We have a very good relationship with the City of Kamloops and TNRD,” Choy said. Lemire described Choy as an integral part of the local chapter and deserving of the award. “[I’m] really glad that she got that recognition,” Lemire said. Choy’s dedication to her job is evident by the fact the award comes just a few months after Choy was officially named the chapter’s executive officer — after 11 years as office manager. “I’ve been doing the job for five years, but just changed title last year, so it doesn’t really feel new to me,” Choy said with a laugh. As executive officer, Choy said she has taken on a more “vocal role” with CHBA-Central Interior by acting as the chapter’s representative at media events, which is one of the reasons for her change in title, Lemire said. In addition to Choy’s accolade, the CHBA-CI also received the provincial award for outstanding achievement in membership recruitment, with the highest percentage increase for 2017.

Nick Sarai and Tim Unaegbu used the same word to describe the 2017-2018 South Kamloops Titans boys basketball team: immortal. One year after suffering a heartbreaking defeat in the B.C. High School Boys AAA Basketball Championship final, the Titans avenged the loss with a 74-66 triumph on Saturday over the Byrne Creek Bulldogs of Burnaby in the 2018 title tilt. “We’re always going to have this banner,” said Sarai, the Titans’ Grade 12 guard who was named tournament MVP. “It’s still an unbelievable feeling. It hasn’t really hit me.” Head coach Unaegbu was suspended for technical-foul violations incurred earlier in the season and was barred from the sidelines this week, a tough pill to swallow for him and his charges. “He has spent more time with us than he has with his own family and his girlfriend,” Sarai said. “We did this for Tim. He was always involved. We were all bummed out at first, but in the end it gave us more fuel to bring

We
didn’t want to have the feeling we had last year.” The Rick Hansen Hurricanes bested the Titans 69-63 in the 2017 championship game. South Kamloops, ranked No. 2, earned three wins at the provincial tournament to get to the 2018 final — 58-51 over No. 15 Cahiri of Campbell River, 62-44 over No. 7 Duchess Park of Prince George and 65-59 over No. 6 Pitt Meadows. Ripley Martin, a 6-foot-10 forward, was named best player of the championship game after netting 16 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. South Kam led 26-10 in the first quarter, but No. 1-ranked Byrne Creek chipped away and the game was tied at 57-57 early in the fourth quarter. Reid Jansen nailed a threepointer to give the Titans a small cushion and later dished to a wide open Sam Jean with less than one minute remaining.

put the game to bed. “Last year, we kind of let it slip away,” said Sarai, who was 12-for12 from the charity stripe and finished with 28 points and nine rebounds. “This year, we were so much more poised and prepared.” Jansen, a Grade 12 guard, was named to the tournament’s first all-star team. Martin Djunga scored a teamhigh 25 points for the Bulldogs. Bithow Wan scored 16 points to go with 16 rebounds for Byrne Creek in a losing effort. “Today, it’s almost like it hasn’t happened yet, but it’s done,” Unaegbu said. “I said in Grade 9 we are going win provincials in Grade 12. The guys trusted and we did what we said we were going to do four years ago.” The victory marked the first senior boys’ basketball title in South Kamloops secondary history and it capped the most successful Titans’ hardcourt campaign. Last weekend, the South Kam girls won the AA championship with a 73-67 win over the G.W. Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack in overtime. “After you win at provincials, you become immortal,” said Unaegbu, who does not plan to coach the Titans next season. “I’m
really just so happy and proud of the boys. It’s a story you really can’t make up.”
The team
The 2017-2018 South Kamloops Titans: Nick Sarai (Grade 12), Reid Jansen (Grade 12), Ripley Martin (Grade 12), Evan Jumaga (Grade 12), Sam Jean (Grade 11), Josh Jean (Grade 11), Graeme Koppes (Grade 11), Foster Wynne (Grade 11) and Denzel Marican (Grade 11). The coaches: Head coach Tim Unaegbu and assistant coaches Bryce McMillan, Mike Flaco Zayas and Ben MacDonald.
The AA bracket
The Westsyde Whundas placed fourth and the Sa-Hali Sabres were 12th at the B.C. High School AA Boys Basketball Championship. No. 5 Seycove of North Vancouver topped No. 2 Westsyde 69-64 to win bronze. No. 9 Pacific Academy of Surrey topped No. 14 Sa-Hali 77-63 to place 11th. Brentwood College of Mill Bay beat the King George Dragons of Vancouver 97-59 to win its second consecutive AA championship. Spencer Ledoux of the Whundas was named a first-team tournament all-star.

Five Cliffside Climbing Gym athletes were in action at the March Madness difficulty competition in Vancouver on the weekend. The event, sanctioned by Sport Climbing British Columbia, was the first competition of the year for Cliffside athletes Ethan Long, Chantel Martens, Summer Bogetti-Smith, Isabella Marchese and Naya Macaulay. Bogetti-Smith placed second and Marchese was fifth in their respective divisions.
The TRU WolfPack cheerleading team placed first at the ATC Canada Championships in Vancouver on the weekend. TRU scored 86.7 out of 98. “They let their nerves get to them, which showed on the scoresheet,” co-head coach Mikayla Levy said. “Despite this, they needed to have a bad run to learn how to overcome it. It’s not easy to do what this team does.”

At age 49, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer, John left us with a legacy of love, family and laughter that is unmatched. He is survived and will be deeply missed by the love of his life Linda. His children Robbie, Rachael (Roger), Anthony (Miranda), his sweet grandchildren Ashton, Connor and Lyla, his loving mother Roseanne O’Hearn and his siblings Ted, Bryan (Crystal), Lynnette (Timothy), Victoria (Sylvain), numerous cousins, nieces and nephews throughout Canada will also miss John dearly.

His generosity, kindness and many other amicable traits were appreciated throughout the community.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved grandson, son, brother, nephew and friend, Garth Benjamin Sawchuk on February 27, 2018 at the too young age of 26 years in his hometown of Kamloops, British Columbia. He was predeceased by his grandfather Lloyd Perkins of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Garth was born in Kamloops, BC on February 2, 1992 to loving parents Dave and Louise Sawchuk. He grew up knowing joy and happiness of many varieties, always exploring the world around him and wanting to know how it was put together. With his family he experienced New Zealand at a young age, living and traveling for a year and easily taking to friendly and open conversation with people he was meeting for the first time. This characteristic persisted throughout his life and may be one of the ones that best defined him. He had traveled to Guatemala with a medical team to help those less fortunate than him, and often talked about traveling again. Garth loved all sports. Growing up he focused on hockey and lacrosse, developing lasting friendships along the way. He also maintained a keen interest in personal fitness and Martial Arts, including Taekwondo, boxing and kickboxing. Garth’s passion for being outdoors was perhaps best exemplified by his love of snowboarding at Sun Peaks.
We can find comfort easy with the countless wonderful memories John left us. Only Sunshine for you now John. The family wants to express their gratitude to the staff at Kamloops Hospice for their compassionate loving care they provided for John. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a charitable donation can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.
Many of John’s happiest times were spent with his grandchildren, fishing, shooting at the range, camping at Magna Bay, morning crosswords and Sunday afternoons watching classic movies with Linda. He also loved to cook-almost as much as he loved to eat. Those who knew John would agree that he could never turn down a good poutine, or anything that
Taking care of each other is what a community is all about.
Garth Benjamin Sawchuk
He now has position above, which involves polishing the stars up in the sky. This job comes with a huge signon bonus, a reunion with his father Edward O’Hearn, uncle Kerry O’Hearn and some great friends he has not seen in some time.

He often spoke of the peace and contentment he felt while he was on the mountain enjoying the beauty of the world around him. Furthermore, his chosen profession of structural iron worker helped identify the type of person he was. His capacity to work with his hands and utilize his size and strength motivated not only himself, but those around him. He enjoyed being in the open air - at great heights, whether strapped in or not. Garth’s sunny disposition, infectious smile and amazing hugs touched everyone he met with love. He was always willing to help others in any way he could. He is survived by his father Dave Sawchuk (Wanda) of Kamloops, mother Louise Sawchuk of Kamloops, and brother Scott Sawchuk (Katie) of Victoria. Also, grandparents Trudy Perkins of Winnipeg, Isabelle MacKay (Dave) of Winnipeg and Joe Sawchuk (Joyce) of Salmon Arm, uncles Brian Perkins (Debbie), Craig Perkins (Sue), aunt Lorraine Franklin (Jamie), uncle Dale Sawchuk (Candace) and Don Sawchuk, all of Winnipeg, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank all those who cared for and helped Garth during his difficult journey these past several years. A Memorial Service will be held on April 29, 2018 at West Highlands Community Center, 1185 The Links from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The family wishes that instead of flowers, donations be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kamloops branch in memory of Garth.

Thomas Lorne Baker July 3, 1926 to February 17, 2018
Tom passed away peacefully on February 17, 2018 at the age of 91 with family at his side. Tom was born in Wapella, Saskatchewan into a large, loving family. Tom met Sylvia in Kamloops and they were married on August 21, 1953. They moved to Vernon in 1955. Tom worked as a stationary engineer in Vernon then as a manager for BCBC out of the Kelowna office until his retirement in 1982. Tom and Sylvia and family lived on a small acreage on Pleasant Valley Road in Vernon. Tom had a beautiful garden and enjoyed raising birds and animals on his small farm. Every winter he built a large outdoor skating rink that family and many neighbors and friends enjoyed. Tom loved the outdoors, camping and fishing and telling stories about the “big one” that got away. Most of all Tom enjoyed spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. Tom and Sylvia moved back to Kamloops in 2007. While they lived in Kamloops the weekly coffee get-together with family and friends was a much anticipated event (thanks to nieces and nephews who provided transport and company). All those who knew Tom enjoyed his generosity and friendliness. Tom is survived by his wife Sylvia (Webley), his children Stephen (Lynda) Baker, Pat (Don) May, Sue (Mark) Schnyder, Charles (Gail) Baker, his grandchildren Heather (Adam) Goudreau, Geoff (Stephanie) Baker, Laura (Jesse) Patterson, Shannon May (Joe Bogstie), Teressa (Dennis) Myers, Kristine (Tyson) Cline, Greg (Melissa) Schnyder, Drew Baker and Nicole Baker, great-grandchildren Abigail, Waverley, Sophie, Eiley, Lance, Colton and Lucas. Tom is survived by his siblings Howard Baker, Bunny James, Pat Price and Bob Baker, many nieces and nephews and Leslie Baker. Sylvia and family would like to thank everyone who helped Tom and Sylvia while they lived at their home and at Ponderosa Lodge. They would like to thank the staff at Ridgeview Lodge for their kindness, laughter and care with dignity. Also, thank-you for the comfort that you provided Tom during his last few weeks and for the support you gave to Sylvia and her family. At Tom’s request he was cremated and his family will gather at the end of July 2018 to celebrate his life. Tom, we love you and will remember you.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Leonard (Len) Joseph Larson 1942 - 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leonard (Len) Joseph Larson who passed peacefully in his sleep at noon on March 5, 2018 at the age of 75 years old. Survived by his loving partner Ruth Bockhodt, his forever friend and mother of his children Kathleen Larson, his children Sherie Szekeres (Darcy Bara), Brent Larson, Brad Larson (Elisa Larson), his grandchildren Caitlin Larson, Bryan Larson, Angeline Szekeres, Madison Larson, Brandon Steele, Makayla Steele, Darshae Bara, Ayden Pentney, Sarah Quintero, Cassie Sorensen, Emily Pearson and he often stepped into the father role with his nieces Loree Boyd and Amber Larson. Len was a loving uncle, great uncle, brother-in-law, cousin, good friend, adopted dad and grandpa to so many, too many to list here but you know who you are and the love that you shared. Predeceased by his father Harry Larson, his mother Ann Larson, his sisters Marlene Anderson (Silversong) and Patricia Larson and his brother Ron Larson. Len loved his family and told us and showed us every chance he got. He always said “You won’t know how much I love you until you have your own children.” His greatest joy was when we had our own children and felt our love for them so there left no doubt in our minds how much he loved us. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for us. He was always there. Len always had a smile and conversation for anyone he met, sharing his warmth and compassion without regard for a person’s status or situation. A quote by the Dalai Lama comes to mind: “the quickest way to happiness here on earth is through compassion for others.” Len lived this virtue everyday. After meeting Len you never forgot him no matter how much time passed or distance was between you. Len drove truck for many years. His experiences on the road, away from home, inspired many of the songs he wrote. Len was a gifted musician, singer, songwriter, artist, along with the ability to fix or build anything. His talents and abilities were endless because he was always willing to try or learn something new. If he didn’t know how to

do something he figured it out and didn’t stop until he did. He loved entertaining people with his music and his humour. He was able to engage even the shyest people and always made everyone feel like they belonged. He even made friends with and helped a wrong number once, someone who called him by mistake.
October 6, 1947 - March 8, 2018
Daniel Alexander Gunn passed away suddenly on March 8, 2018 at 70 years of age.
There is no possible way to capture all the unique and special things about Len, so if you were blessed enough to know him you will have more than enough memories to keep you going and if you didn’t know him ask anyone who did and they will never run out of stories about the loving, fun, compassionate, gifted person he was. Please help us honour him and carry on his legacy through your acts of kindness and compassion for others, with laughter and fun, through music and dance and with a fearless curiosity to learn new things. Len lived an extraordinary life in an ordinary way! Special thanks to all the caring staff in the Renal Clinic at Royal Inland Hospital. Memorial donations may be made to The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC and Yukon Branch Office #200 - 4940 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC V5G 4K6.

Pennies
That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story.
We thought of you today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories, And your picture in this frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our heart.
Your Loving Family
He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

He leaves behind to mourn and remember him Willy Gosse, partner of six years, brothers Terry, Garry (Bernice), David (Grace), his sisters Dorothy, Debbie and Lori (Nancy), his beloved pets Frisky, Fred, Maggy and Holly, as well as numerous extended family and friends. Rob was a BIG man with a BIG heart, known locally in Chase for his kind, generous and gentle character, especially soft hearted with the frail, elderly and handicapped with whom he worked with most of his life.

Rob contributed his free time to helping charitable events, donating hundreds of hours to numerous organizations, The Chase Fire Department, The Chase Lions Club and was a proud member of Legion #107. We will miss his deep belly laugh and his teasing nature. Rest in peace Robbie. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all who attended to Rob: Dr. Redel, Chase Police and Victims Services and the paramedics who showed excellence in their jobs and compassion to us and to Willy: we are grateful to you, standing by his side, Robbie loved you. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservices.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454
