Weaver: Past year proves minority governments work MICHAEL POTESTIO

RIVER POLE RESTORATION
Artist Vaughn Warren is busy at work under the tarp, completing some much-needed touch-ups on the River Pole he constructed at the corner of Columbia Street and Summit Drive in Sahali. The work involves pressure washing, sanding and refinishing the seven-metre (22-foot) tall structure. It’s all part of regular maintenance work the City of Kamloops commissions him to do on his scultpture every five years. Warren said this is the third time he’s done maintenance on the pole, noting he enjoys smoothing out carving lines and filling cracks in the wood. The tarp will come off next Tuesday after three weeks of work.

A year of co-operation between the Green and New Democratic parties is proof minority governments can work in B.C., according to Green Leader Andrew Weaver, who was in Kamloops on the weekend to attend the party’s annual convention. Decked out in a flowery shirt and weary from previous engagements, the MLA from Oak Bay-Gordon Head sat down with KTW and a small napkin’s worth of food to discuss what has been the most influential year of his party’s existence. In May 2017, three Green MLAs signed a confidence and supply agreement, pledging to vote with the NDP on matters of confidence to hold Premier John Horgan’s minority government in place. Weaver said their working relationship since then has been good, noting only some initial rockiness trying to figure out

email editor@kamloops thisweek.com how they would collaborate. “It’s been a remarkable experience. We didn’t know what was going to happen after we agreed to support [the] NDP government,” Weaver said. The Greens have been successful in banning big money in politics, ensuring the establishment of the fair wage commission on increasing minimum wage $15 per hour to keep politics out of the decision and pushed the NDP to adopt an innovation foundation, which focuses on bringing the tech sector with the resource sector — all of which were conditions of the confidence and supply agreement.

June 6, 2018, is 74th anniversary of D-Day Troops of the 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders) wade ashore at Bernières-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. GILBERT ALEXANDER MILNE/DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE/LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA PHOTO
Seventy-four years ago today, on June 6, 1944, Canadian soldiers joined Operation Overlord, the massive D-Day invasion of France along an 80-kilometre stretch of the Normandy coast, heavily defended by German troops. There were five landing zones, each given special code names: Juno Beach (Canada), Gold Beach
(United Kingdom), Sword Beach (United Kingdom and France) and Utah Beach and Omaha Beach (United States). Seven-thousand vessels of all types, including 284 major combat vessels, took part in Operation Neptune, the assault phase of the D-Day offensive. Destroyers and supporting craft of the Royal Canadian Navy did their part and shelled German targets, while many Royal Canadian Air Force planes were among the 4,000 Allied bombers (plus some 3,700 fighters and fighter bombers) that attacked the German beach defences and inland targets. More than 450 Canadians parachuted inland before dawn on June 6 and engaged the enemy. A few hours later, some 14,000 Canadian troops began coming ashore at Juno Beach in the face of enemy fire. Their mission was to establish a beachhead along an eight-kilometre stretch fronting the villages of Courseullessur-Mer, Bernières-surMer and Saint Aubinsur-Mer.
A Second World War-era advertisement on display in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.
Once secure, the troops would push inland to capture the city of Caen, an important communications centre for the Germans. Victory in Normandy would be only the beginning of many months of hard fighting on the ground in Western Europe. Canadians would play an important role in the offensives that would finally defeat the Germans and end the war in this part of the world. The Canadians who served in the Normandy Campaign were among the more than one-million men and women who served during the Second World War. — Veterans Affairs Canada

Kamloops Fire Rescue continues to investigate the cause of a house fire that displaced four people. At about 6 a.m. on Monday, firefighters responded to a home at 6597 Barnhartvale Rd. that was fully engulfed in flames and smoke. No injuries were reported, but the fire displaced homeowner Tim Cole, his father and two tenants who were living in a basement suite. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but KFR Insp. Ray Webster is able to confirm the flames started in the basement.
Webster said the homeowner reported putting in a load of laundry and going upstairs to watch TV before the smoke detector went off. “He went to go downstairs, the
basement was full of smoke [and] he left,” Webster said. “We’re not sure exactly where it started yet and part of the reason for that is that the floor has collapsed in there.” Webster said the insurance company may remove part of the house so firefighters can get into the basement safely and continue the investigation. Firefighters had the blaze extinguished in about two hours. “We initially made an interior attack on [the fire]. We ran into a situation where the floor was compromised, so we switched over to a defensive attack, meaning we fought it from the outside,” said KFR platoon Capt. Wade Lindoff. He described the home as a total loss.

“It’ll be quite some time before people are back in here for sure,” Lindoff said. The displaced residents have been offered 72 hours of accommodation through emergency social services. Three fires in the last two weeks have left a total of 47 people homeless in the Kamloops area. On May 25, a malfunctioning propane barbecue led to a fire that gutted a home on Garibaldi Drive in Sahali, leaving one man homeless. Hours after that, on the morning of May 26, three units of the Thompson Rivers Manor on Tranquille Road on the North Shore went up in flames due to a grease fire, leaving 42 people without homes. There have been no deaths nor injuries reported in the fires.

KSAR fears search calls will soon mushroom From A1
The call came after a mushroom picker from out of province was reported missing earlier in the day. KSAR was joined by volunteers from South Cariboo and Nicola Valley search and rescue teams, as well as a local drone team from Hummingbird Drones and RCMP dog services. “As teams prepared for the second
operational period of the search, more volunteers were also being called in, including those from Barriere, Logan Lake, Wells Gray and Central Cariboo search and rescue teams,” KSAR’s Jenn Stahn said in a press release. “The police dog team located the tired and hungry subject around 7 a.m. Sunday morning and walked him out.” Following the fires throughout the area last year, Stahn said KSAR is concerned this
will be the first of many calls for missing mushroom pickers this year. “We are expecting people from all over North America to come to the Interior for what is expected to be a huge mushroom picking season,” she said, noting those venturing into the backcountry should have a way to communicate, let someone know where they are going and when they expect to be back and leave a trip plan with someone they trust.

THREE CHOICES? OR IS IT FOUR?
B
.C. residents will have three choices for electoral reform in a November referendum. Two of the voting systems have never been used before and the third was previously rejected by the province’s citizens’ assemblies. The current first-past-the-post system elects candidates with the most votes in 87 ridings. The NDP government has unveiled the options for the Nov. 30 mail-in referendum. Attorney General David Eby has decided the ballot will contain two questions — the first being a choice between the current system and one with proportional representation. Only a simple majority is needed in the first vote to allow responses to count on three types of possible new voting systems: • dual-member proportional, in which neighbouring pairs of voting districts in B.C. would be combined into a single, two-member constituency, except for the larger rural districts, which would remain unchanged; • mixed-member proportional, which combines single-member districts with party list candidates added to give each party the number of seats determined by their share of the province-wide vote; • rural-urban proportional representation, with multi-member districts for urban and semi-urban areas, with voters choosing their MLA on a ranked ballot. Premier John Horgan claims the existing system gives absolute power to people who get the minority of votes. No, it rewards the one who gets the most. Opposition Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson thinks the current system works fine and that the options will only confuse voters. He called them “alphabet soup” and said some have never been heard of before. But maintaining the status quo for historical reasons isn’t a strong rationale. Voters deserve a say, and again they will have it. The campaign period for the different systems will start on July 1, with the ballots to be mailed in between Oct. 22 to Nov. 30.

S
ome days, this job of journalism is nothing more than a waiting game. Here are a few examples, all focused on provincial politicians and the reality that, no matter what party is elected to govern, it quickly becomes (drop your voice an octave and add a cynical tone) — government. Example No. 1: I wrote a column on May 2 about a young man with several mental-health challenges whose life went downhill after he aged out of the care system. His grandmother and grandfather have been his caregivers since he was a child. They were struggling to help him and angry that the “system” had essentially abandoned him. He’s not alone. There’s a crisis in this province with those aging out who don’t have the ability to do it successfully. They may not even have any of the medical challenges this young lad had, but they still fail. I gave a heads-up to the communications department of Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy, advising I wanted to talk to her about what she would be doing to help this segment of our population. The response was good — she has a great communications team — but after being promised and then put off with a “soon” that became a “not now” that became a “maybe next week,” I’m still waiting. In the meantime, Darcy spoke at a conference on community mental health in the Lower Mainland, announced a new program to create an addictions-
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL recovery program on the Coast, sent out releases on substance use and abuse, helped create a onestop shop in Victoria for youth with physical, mental-health and additions issues — you get the picture. Up here, we wait to have a simple conversation. Example No. 2: I’ve been writing about local hotelier and philanthropist Al Patel and his quest for a cardiac-care unit at Royal Inland Hospital for a long time. Since March, I’ve frequently fired off emails to Health Minister Adrian Dix, asking to speak with him on this campaign. Again, he’s got first-class communications people who respond. But Dix? Nope. He did call me in mid-April when I emailed his people, asking if he would clarify remarks he made about Kamloops while speaking in Prince George, comments many thought were critical of Kamloops and former health minister Terry Lake. Breaking with tradition, Dix called within a few minutes of that email. So, having him on the
phone, I asked if we could also speak about the campaign Patel has been waging. Dix, however, knew nothing about it. You might think that’s understandable since provincial politicians get a lot of feedback and questions, but Patel sent Dix a registered letter advising him of his goal to raise $500,000 to create the clinic. And Patel’s a doer. He’s helped raised tens of thousands of dollars for other medical equipment at RIH. “Send me an email about it,” Dix said. I did. Still waiting. On the flipside of the coin, communication with KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone is great. He was never on the ignorethe-Kamloops-media-for-a-longtime list, but he wasn’t always prompt, nowhere near as accessible as his former colleague Lake. These days, however, Stone is proactive, texting to let us know he’s available to comment on whatever the NDP has announced. I mentioned it to him the last time he texted, got the “yup” response and immediately called. “Todd-in-opposition is really easy to reach these days,” I said. He laughed and attributed it to having less to do now that he is not a cabinet minister. I think that just as winning parties assume the role of (deep cynical voice again) government, losing parties become those rabble-rousers eager for the media to listen to them. Meanwhile, I wonder if Darcy or Dix will call after this column runs. dale@kamloopsthis.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I LIKE COVERED BRIDGE IDEA Editor: Re: Sid Barrie’s letter of May 25 regarding the old bridge pilings in the Thompson River (‘Build covered bridge across river’): I recently moved to Kamloops and also wondered about the pillars in the river. Barrie is bang on with his idea. It is the perfect solution for turning ugly and useless into useful and productive. The concept is community-oriented and could be communitybuilt as not only an educational process, but as a way of coming together to promote what Kamloops has to offer our residents, as well as the travel and tourist industry. What a terrible shame that all these years have gone without utilizing an abandoned treasure. Let’s get on with it. Linda DeBelser Kamloops

WE CREATE FLOOD, FIRE CONDITIONS Editor: This spring has again seen floods and forest fires. But it can be managed when properly handled. Common sense tells us the more trees and shrubs that can hold the water, the fewer floods, drought and wildfires we will have. In this province, it seems the officials responsible do everything opposite to what should be done and against our climate-change goals.
A few weeks ago, there was Forest Week (to celebrate exploitation of wood from the forests). That was followed by Mining Month (to celebrate exploitation of minerals from the ground). Shouldn’t we now celebrate what is left behind from such feverish production and activity? There were pages in KTW and the Merritt Herald, with photos of forestry and mining industries’ production and how they convert our beautiful province
into moonlike scenery. There are also dams — including the under-construction Site C project — and the Trans Mountain pipeline. No wonder we have fewer and fewer healthy forests that can hold and absorb water. No wonder we now have floods and forest fires that are left burning until there is another moonscape.

Weaver believes the biggest success his party has had with the NDP government is getting it to recognize that reducing greenhouse gases is an economic platform. “That’s why we’ve been focusing on innovation because it allows for growth in our economy in all regions of B.C. by building on our strengths when we’re given a target,” Weaver said. He noted there have also been concessions by the Greens. In his speech to delegates, Weaver cited one — agreeing to send the controversial Site C hydroelectric dam project to the BC Utility Commission for consideration and not demanding the project be stopped. “I understand there’ll be some in this room who are troubled by that decision, as [was] our caucus. But in the end, this is the decision we had to make with that,” Weaver said, adding that forcing an election on the issue at the time would have likely led to a majority NDP government. The commission didn’t take a stance on whether or not to continue with the project and, in December, the NDP decided to move ahead with completing the massive project. “We have to grapple with these things all the time,” Weaver said. “We’ve agreed to support them on issues. There’s a lot of to-and-fro. The public won’t know a lot of the good work we do.” Weaver said the past year has shown a minority government can get things done. “When you focus on what you can agree on, you can actually get the best of both,” he said. “In the NDP platform, you’d

find some stuff in there that perhaps caters really nicely to the labour union elements of that party that perhaps we’re feeling a little more uncomfortable with. “And in our party, you might have found some stuff that’s really catering to the environmental element of our party and maybe NDP weren’t comfortable with some of that, so you tend to govern more centrist.” When the B.C. Liberals won a majority government in 2013 under the first-past-the-post system, they didn’t have to listen to any other party in the legislature, Weaver said. “I think you’re seeing with our minority government right now that when there’s a requirement to work together, things like collaboration, compromise, consensus start to rise to the centre. If you don’t have to force collaboration, you don’t listen to anyone,” he said. Weaver said a proportional representation system (on which voters will cast ballot this fall) brings MLAs of different parties together to find common ground in order

to govern, noting parties with fewer MLAs can shift the balance of power. “That’s a far healthier democracy than one where Peter Milobar spends his time worrying about lunch receipts instead of actually working for the betterment of people in Kamloops,” Weaver said, referring to the Kamloops-North Thompson (Liberal) MLA’s recent attempt to have Victoria-area MLAs pay for their own meals and not qualify for daily per diems. Weaver said first-past-the-post leads to an adversarial system, but added he does not have a preference for any of the three options proposed for the fall referendum: • Dual-member proportional representation, which would elect two MLAs per riding — one using first-past-the-post metrics (whoever earns the most votes in the riding) and the other with proportionality (using provincewide results). In this case, ridings would be approximately doubled in size; • Mixed-member proportional representation, which would see potentially expanded ridings choose MLAs by party based on the proportion of the vote in the riding; • Rural-urban proportional representation, which would see MLAs in urban areas chosen with a ranked ballot and those in rural areas elected using a mixed-member proportional system. “Honestly, this is not my file. I haven’t spent a ton of time looking at it,” Weaver said. “I do know that the present system does not serve people well.”

Dog owner rattled by encounter with snake BARRY STABECK HAD TO DRIVE TO KELOWNA TO HAVE LAB-PYRENEES CROSS TREATED WITH ANTIVENIN Barry Stabeck’s dog, Boomer, is recovering after being bitten by a rattlesnake while hiking west of Kamloops Airport.
JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops resident Barry Stabeck and his dog Boomer were walking off-trail near Tranquille Creek last week when the usually bouncy canine lay down and put up his paw. “I noticed a couple of blood spots,” Stabeck told KTW. “Right down on his lower leg.” A Kamloops veterinary clinic confirmed the 45-kilogram (100pound) Labrador retriever-great Pyrenees cross had been struck twice by a rattlesnake and needed antivenin. Rattlesnake venom acts as a blood thinner and can be deadly, depending on how much of the poison is released. However, antivenin was not available for Boomer at any vet clinic in Kamloops. Veterinary clinics in Kamloops do not carry the expensive medication and Royal Inland Hospital wouldn’t lend its product, which is intended for humans. Barry and Boomer’s only option was a two-hour drive to
the Fairfield Animal Hospital in Kelowna. The trip and services cost Stabeck $2,500. As his dog returns to his bouncy self, Stabeck is raising the alarm over man’s best friend close call with a rattler. Stabeck contacted the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the federal agency that regulates drugs in Canada, and provided emails to KTW revealing limited access to rattlesnake antivenin not only for pets on Canada’s West Coast, but across the country. According to the agency, only two clinics in Canada (one in Kelowna and another in Ontario) have imported rattlesnake antivenin, which requires a permit. It’s all enough to rattle Stabeck.
“We live in rattlesnake country. And this is a really big year, apparently. I got a message from a fellow that drives down Red Lake Road from the ’80s,” Stabeck said. “He said he’s never seen so many rattlesnakes on the road …. I think at least one [Kamloops] vet should go through the process to get the anti-venom in.” Kamloops veterinarian Cam Koerselman told KTW a lack of antivenin availability locally is mostly cost-related. The $1,000 medication expires. In addition, rattlesnake bites among pets are rare — Koerselman has seen only one in nearly a decade — and not every case requires antivenin. “It would just expire and it’s way too expen-

pet owners don’t often see their pets get bitten, he noted bites can look like a gash on a lip. Symptoms include swelling, severe immediate pain, bruising, trouble breathing and numbness. Meanwhile, Stabeck is warning hikers and their furry friends who frequent Tranquille Creek. Rattlesnakes have also been spotted in the past in Batchelor Heights and the Lac du Bois grasslands. “They like sunning themselves on the rocks,” Stabeck said. “People have seen them actually on the creek on rocks.”

sive to have it on hand,” he said. Kamloops veterinarian Ken Gummeson said dogs usually survive rattlesnake bites without antivenin, depending on how much venom is released. He noted intravenous fluids and pain
management usually suffice. In the past, the hospital has sold antivenin to veterinary clinics, but Gummeson said there is “no guarantee” and costs are in the thousands of dollars. Fairfield manager Shannon Fisk told KTW antivenin from MG Biologics is imported from the United States. It stays frozen until use and expires within two years. Fisk said her clinic receives refer-
rals from throughout the Okangan, with Kamloops being the farthest city from which referrals have been received. Fairfield sees eight to 10 cases each year as an emergency practice staffed 24 per hours day, year-round. In the worst cases, Fisk said, pets have about four hours to receive the antivenin. On that note, Koerselman recommends pet owners get their animals to a local veterinary clinic as soon as possible if they suspect a rattlesnake bite. He said referrals can be made with a quick phone call. Being that

Administrators and trustees are doing what they can to help improve the playground facility at Pinantan elementary — and that means they are voting every day to help parents with kids at the school win a bundle of cash. Pinantan is one of 10 finalists in the annual BCAA Play Here contest to win up to $100,000 to revitalize what the school’s parents say is an old and unsafe playground with rusting and broken equipment that children don’t want to use. Parent advisory committee chair Nikki Williams said she has heard the equipment dates back to the 1960s. It provides no coverage from the elements — an important consideration since Pinantan, located 30 minutes northeast of Kamloops, gets more snow and rain than the city. Children often cannot use the swings or teeter-totters because of high snow drifts. The playground is used by the community as well as the students, Williams said, so there’s plenty of interest from everyone there to see it improved. Kamloops-Thompson board of education chair Meghan Wade said the district supported a similar bid last year by Marion Schilling elementary’s parents, who eventually won the money for their playground. Wade said provincial funding for playgrounds

In past years, however, parents have taken on the role of fundraiser for playgrounds due to the lack of capital funding from the government. Wade said she couldn’t speak directly to the conditions at Pinantan, as she has not seen the playground, but she is aware the PAC is working on it.

KTTA to get LRB hearing DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops-Thompson Teachers Association has been keeping track of teacher staffing for the past four years — and it’s not happy with what it has learned. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) has also noted ongoing shortages of classroom teachers, teachers teaching on call (TTOC) and specialists. KTTA president Amanda Jensen said her union local, along with three others in the BCTF, filed grievances that are finally being scheduled for hearings at the B.C. Labour Relations Board, meetings that begin soon and are expected to continue into the fall. In Kamloops, the key area of shortages in the past 24 months concerns TTOCs, Jensen said. There aren’t enough to allow for teachers to take sick days or time off for family obligations, she said. And, if they do, often the district takes learning-assistant teachers (LAT) out of their duties to put them into classrooms to teach, something their union contract allows. However, Jensen said such moves are meant for emergency situations. “And, when you’re doing it almost every day, that’s not an
emergency,” Jensen said, noting the routine practice points to a system shortage. Teachers are also needed in specialty areas — senior-level sciences, French, physics, math and technology. Not all gaps are as large; math, for example, occurs “in different pockets of time,” Jensen said. The grievance filed addresses the lack of TTOCs as the primary concern, as well as taking LATs away from their primary role of helping students with special needs. The problem has existed for years, Jensen said, noting the KTTA started its statistical recording in 2014. But it became a larger problem after the Supreme Court of Canada restored the BCTF’s right to negotiate class size and composition as it existed in its 2002 contract with the province, one that was torn up by then-education minister Christy Clark. “It’s been over 15 months since the March 2017 agreement that implemented teachers’ restored class-size and class-composition collective agreement language, but not enough has been done to resolve the ongoing teacher shortage,” BCTF president Glen Hansman said on Friday. “It’s also been six months since a government task force on recruitment and retention strategies
made recommendations for immediate actions, but only some have been implemented. “It’s now June 1st and there are still reports of non-certified teachers working in classrooms, students with special needs losing out on their programs or being sent home and hundreds of classes with class compositions that don’t meet the learning needs of students. “While there were some announcements in February to slightly increase teacher education spots, the lack of bold action and provincial co-ordination means the shortage will make the next school year challenging as well.” Proposals the BCTF has put forward to address the teacher shortage include: • housing and moving allowances accessible in all school districts; • mentorship programs to support retention of new teachers; • waiving fees for retiring teachers trying to re-certify; • expanding access to the current rural and remote living allowance; • a student loan forgiveness program; • a shortened salary grid to make teachers’ starting wages more competitive with other provinces; • financial assistance for teachers seeking additional qualifications in specialty areas.
The United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo has announced a new partnership with Home Hardware Kamloops for Days of Caring. Local businesses will match their volunteer efforts with a local nonprofit organization, tackling a project that may otherwise never have been completed. During the past three years, more than 600 people have completed in excess of 2,500 volunteer hours building fences, painting and much more. The new sponsorship provided by Home Hardware will help United Way expand and improve Days of Caring, enabling it to increase the reach and scope of projects and increase the number of volunteers. “We’re excited to have a new partnership with United Way,” said Home Hardware store manager Brian Hamilton. “It allows us to partner with businesses to offer a great price for sup-
plies used for Day of Caring projects throughout our community.” New fencing for clients of Family Tree Family Centre in downtown Kamloops means there will soon be a protected area for children to safely play in — something that has been on the centre’s wish list for two years.

Kamloops woman makes history with Rotary 5060 SHERRY CHAMBERLAIN IS THE FIRST FEMALE TO BECOME DISTRICT GOVERNOR STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Sherry Chamberlain will make history when she becomes the first Canadian woman to be named to the top position of Rotary 5060 district, which takes in a large part of B.C. and Washington state. She will be installed as district governor on June 15 and formally assume the one-year term on July 1. Chamberlain, a commercial account manager with Chubb Insurance, joined the local Rotary West Club in 1999 and was an assistant district governor from
2009 to 2011. She has twice been named Club Rotarian of the Year. “Having been a Rotarian for 19 years, I never did envision that I’d become so engaged in the organization, but I am and I’ve never looked back,” she said of the decision she made to attend after Pete Netherway invited her to her first meeting. Since then, Chamberlain has been involved in community projects in Guatemala, Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico, Nicaragua and Brazil, as well as the many programs and projects the local Rotary clubs take on each year. “Rotary has a focus on the environment and on world peace,” she said.
“My legacy as district governor is to encourage our many clubs to come together and plant trees or build peace gardens in their communities. I’ve seen it time and time again. When Rotarians join together to tackle a project, they walk away with tremendous new friendships.” District governors provide leadership, motivation and guidance to Rotary clubs under the general supervision of the Rotary International board of directors, fostering achievement in their district at the club level. Chamberlain joins a list of Kamloopsians who have held the position, including: • Dr. Robert Washington

Talking electric vehicles The Kamloops chapter of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association is sponsoring a session on electric vehicles on Saturday, June 9, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Thompson Rivers University in room 108 of the
Arts and Education Building. Two plug-in models — the Nissan Leaf, Smart ForTwo Electric Drive — will be on display as well as other electric vehicles (EV) owned by Kamloopsians.
The session begins with a talk by engineer Brock Nanson, who owns two EVs and is vice-president of the Tesla Owners Club of B.C. After the discussion and a questionand-answer session, participants will head
out to the parking lot to talk with the dealers of the two cars, as well as the other car owners. Test drives will be allowed. Registration is limited to 70 people. To register, go online to bcsea.org and look under the upcoming events tab.
Cheryl Kabloona (left), Bruce Bosdet and Michael Mehta own electric vehicles and are hoping to inspire more Kamloopsians to do so at a workshop this Saturday at Thompson Rivers University.

More cash for Tourism Kamloops in 2018 Promotional efforts, additional events and a tax increase have all amounted to extra cash for Tourism Kamloops to further promote that sector. The organization is reporting tourism growth in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same time last year. It collected $267,277 in municipal regional district taxes from the city’s accommodation industry in the first three months of the year, compared to $150,407 during the same time last year. April and May’s numbers are not yet available. During that time, the tax charged to visitors increased to three per cent from two per cent, but Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis said the industry grew 19 per cent excluding the tax bump. “It’s really indicative of our vibrant tourism economy,” DeSantis said. The extra cash — which is paid to Tourism Kamloops to promote the city — is going toward boosting the organization’s image bank, promotional videos and overall investment in digital media. She touts that online push for some of the first-quarter growth, including targeted marketing in

the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Occupancy rates and occupied room nights were also significantly higher in the first three months of the year compared to last year. Growth also stems from largescale events this year, DeSantis said, such as Rogers Hometown Hockey and the BC Winter Games. “Those all draw thousands of spectators and participants to our city,” she said. DeSantis is encouraged by the numbers heading into the summer, with July through September historically the high tourism season.
Feds spending millions on Facebook ads The government of Canada has been increasing its use of paid Facebook advertisements over the last three years, spending tens of millions of dollars on boosted posts, videos and ad campaigns, new figures tabled in Parliament show. From Jan. 1, 2016 to March 31, 2018, federal government departments and agencies spent more than $24.4 million on Facebook and Instagram ads, promotions and sponsored posts and videos. The data, tabled last month in the House of Commons, includes a breakdown of spending by each government department and agency,
showcasing a growing government reliance on Facebook for promoting events and publicizing key government messages and policy initiatives. The biggest spender was Destination Canada, which expensed more than $9.2 million for promoting tourism in Canada to Facebook users during the designated time frame. The Immigration Department, meanwhile, spent more than $2 million on campaigns, including some international ads promoting visa requirements and economic immigration streams. It also spent $47,497 domestically to provide
information about the Syrian refugee program ”in response to the outpouring of support and interest in how to get involved from Canadians,” the department stated. In 2016-2017, the federal procurement department reported that government spending on digital advertising surpassed television for the first time ever. Digital media represented 54.7 per cent of all advertising expenditures last year, with social media representing 23.3 per cent. — Canadian Press

Construction project along Valleyview Drive
Venture Kamloops has set out to show how livable the Tournament Capital is with the creation of a new online feature. The economic-development arm of the city is designing an online map for its website (venturekamloops.com) that details local housing sales, enabling prospective businesses and job seekers to get an impression of the quality of life in Kamloops. The map should be available for use on the website by June 8. “We don’t have a method to quantify our quality of life,” said Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson. “It’s not enough to say it’s a really nice place, it’s really warm here, because every other city in Canada with an economic-development department is doing the same thing.” Using the map, people will be able to check out the sales history of a particular neighbourhood or an individual house with the click of a button. This tool will provide an up-to-date snapshot of how the local real-estate market is performing by listing what homes are selling for and how those prices compare with the last time the home sold. Anderson said it will give someone who is researching Kamloops a clear idea on how much it’s going to cost to buy a house in the city. He said Venture Kamloops has been working on ways to quantify the quality of life in Kamloops for a couple of years. Anderson noted the application will list the dollar figure the homes sold
for, as opposed to the list price, to give an accurate snapshot of the housing market. “If you’re looking a house as an investment, you can see which areas of town are increasing the most, or if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, which areas of town are more stable price-wise, so you’re not paying an inflated price in a hot market,” Anderson said. The map is being created by Infocore, a Kamloops data and artificial intelligence company founded by two recent Thompson Rivers University grads. “When you get down to it and you’re just talking about real-estate data, it seems kind of blasé, but it really is an important decision that people make when they’re thinking about taking a job,” he said. The idea for the map arose from a labour-market study, which determined quality of life was a major factor in attracting qualified professionals, Anderson said. Venture Kamloops is now looking to develop a suite of tools that will help measure different quality of life factors in Kamloops, which could include comparing items such as the price of groceries and gasoline to other communities. “This is just the first one. What the next one’s going to be, I don’t know at this point because we haven’t nailed down anything, but we’ll keep working on it,” Anderson said. “But we knew the biggest component of anybody’s expenses is housing, so we decided we’d start there — plus there’s a lot of really good data, so we could make a really quantifiable and measurable tool for people to use.”

Keep the mind active with science camps Eureka offers week-long science day camps programs for students ages seven to 13. Juniors are 7-8, intermediates are 9-10, seniors are 11-13 and codemakers are 10-13. Campers will enjoy an interactive week of demonstrations, hands-on activities, group activities, building projects, university tours, outdoor activities and games. Areas of science covered include biology, chemistry,
physics, engineering and technology, with campers able to do all of their own experiments. Eureka has alternating A and B weeks that offer different projects, so campers can attend two weeks in the summer if they wish. Projects are different each and year (except for the favourites) as organizers ensure the curriculum is not repeated for at least seven years. Because of recent statistics showing greater
involvement for boys in sciences during school age, Eureka is offering a special girls’ weekend camp for girls ages nine to 13. The plan is to take up to 44 girls to Harper Mountain from Aug. 10 to Aug. 12, with female instructors helping with a variety of science experiments and outdoor activities.

STANKOVEN SIGNS WITH BLAZERS, STEPS INTO HOMETOWN SPOTLIGHT MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Macie Stankoven was in a gregarious mood. The 11-year-old St. Ann’s Academy student was watching her big brother Logan, 15, address media in the Kamloops Blazers’ dressing room on Monday, with the club announcing it had signed him to a standard WHL player agreement. “She likes to giggle a lot over there,’ said Logan, earning a laugh and breaking tension in the room. Macie, along with mother Deana and father Wes, were getting a taste of what it will be like for the rest of Logan’s major-junior career in this city, watching intently as he deals with the spotlight in his hometown. The last time the Blazers held a press conference to announce a player signing was for 2010 first-round pick Matt Needham, who went on to captain the team for three seasons. It made sense to give Stankoven the same treatment. He is a top-prospect forward, a 5-foot-7, right-shot centre who had 57 goals and 90 points in 30 games with Yale Bantam Prep of Abbotsford last season. The family was outspoken prior to the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft, saying Kamloops is Logan’s No. 1 choice and reiterating how much it would mean for him to play on Mark Recchi Way. He fell to the Blazers at fifth overall in the draft in Red Deer last month, scooped up by general manager Stu MacGregor and director of player personnel Matt Recchi, both of whom were given walking papers about two weeks later. Massimo Rizzo, the promising prospect the Blazers picked in Round 1 of the 2016 bantam draft, never reported to Kamloops and has committed to

play for North Dakota in the NCAA ranks. Logan can’t wait to pull on a blue and orange sweater. He might be exactly what the Blazers need. “I’d just like to thank the Blazers’ organization,” Logan said. “It’s a first-class organization, it’s got lots of history and it’s been a dream come true for the Blazers to draft me.” Logan will play next season for the Thompson Blazers, the B.C. Major Midget League franchise that qualified for the post-season this year for the first time in more than a decade. Deana is thrilled to have her son back home, but aware of what that will mean when Logan becomes a regular contributor at Sandman Centre. Playing in a River City fish bowl with the loftiest of expectations to help resurrect a struggling franchise will bring adversity, along with great moments. “That’s what parents are here for, to pick them up when they’re not feeling well,” Deana said. Added Wes: “I think he’ll be fine. Logan handles stress pretty good. I always tell him, ‘Go out there, have fun and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.’” The Blazers made Matt Bardsley their general manager last week. “I knew coming in that Logan was a property of the Kamloops Blazers,” said Bardsley, formerly the Portland Winterhawks’ assistant general manager. “He’s a player I’d liked all year long. With elite players, they also have options. I really appreciate that Logan and his family trust that Kamloops is the place to continue his development.” Macie spoke briefly with KTW after Logan’s duties in front of mics and cameras were over, but did most of the talking with her smile. “It’s pretty cool for him,” she said. “It’s going to be really cool.”

Matt Bardsley grew up in San Jose, hated the first hockey game he saw and never spent much time on the ice. The non-traditional hockey background is what makes the 47-year-old’s rise so remarkable. “When I first got into the business back in ’99, that was always something on my mind,” said Bardsley, who was introduced as the general manager of the Kamloops Blazers on Friday. “It was a non-traditional route. I wasn’t a player growing up, but I really became a student of the game. I surrounded myself with quality people, hockey people. I shut my mouth and opened my ears.” Bardsley is not a household name in the hockey world, but his reputation in WHL circles is rock solid and based largely on his work in the Portland Winterhawks’ scouting department. He joined the Winterhawks in 1999, knowing his background would make it tougher to prove himself. But he quickly gained favour with recommendations of players such as Paul Gaustad and Brandon Dubinsky.
Ryan Johansen, Ty Rattie, Nino Niederreiter, Sven Baertschi, Brendan Leipsic and Nic Petan are among the NHL players Bardsley touted. Bardsley, who formed a strong relationship with Winterhawks’ coaching legend Ken Hodge, survived an ownership change in Portland in 2008 and was kept on by Mike Johnston, who was then hired as the team’s head coach and general manager. “As the years have gone on, I think I’ve earned that trust from people,” Bardsley said. “They put a lot of responsibility on me. I think I’ve been able to execute.” He became involved in trades, contracts and scouting opposing WHL teams and protected players in other leagues. Johnston told the Oregonian in 2010 that Bardsley would have the tools to be a GM in the league within two years. “I’ve talked to people that have worked with him and under him,” Blazers’ co-owner Shane Doan said. “You just can’t find a single person to say something that is even remotely negative. They all go on and on and rave about his character, his work ethic, his humility and, on top of that, his understanding of this game.” See BARDSLEY, A23

WARRIORS AIMING TO ENTER DYNASTY CONVERSATION JANIE MCCAULEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry and coach Steve Kerr’s Golden State Warriors have repeatedly said they want to build something special for the long haul, to compete for championships year after year. LeBron James considers his familiar NBA Finals opponent among the best teams ever. Where the Warriors stack up if they
win a third championship in four years will make for a dynasty debate. The domination doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon so, if it keeps winning, Golden State will have its place in history. The Warriors are trying to join Bill Russell’s Celtics, the Bulls led by Michael Jordan and the Lakers’ trio of title runs fuelled by George Mikan in the 1950s, Magic Johnson and Kareem AbdulJabbar in the ‘80s, and Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant nearly 20 years ago as the only franchises in NBA history to
capture three championships in four years. The Warriors are halfway there, holding a 2-0 lead against the underdog Cavs as the series shifts to Cleveland for Game 3 on Wednesday. Tip-off is 6 p.m. “Listen, Golden State is one of the best teams I’ve ever played. It’s one of the best teams that’s ever been assembled,’’ said James, who is playing in his eighth straight NBA Finals and fourth in a row against Golden State.

BARDSLEY SEARCHING FOR HEAD COACH WITH SIMILAR PHILOSOPHY From A21
Vancouver Canucks’ head coach Travis Green, formerly head coach of the Winterhawks, and Johnston are among those who sung Bardsley’s praises to Doan. Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi announced last month that former GM Stu MacGregor will not be returning for the 20182019 season and Don Hay is retiring from his position as head coach of the Blazers. Gaglardi said it was likely the new GM and bench boss would be younger than their predecessors. Bardsley fits the bill and it is up to him to hire a head coach. “I want somebody who I think is a real good communicator. Especially with today’s players, you have to be able to communicate,” Bardsley said, noting he has been given full autonomy to make the decision, but will seek input. “I want to stress skill development. Our goal is to give players the best opportunity to be a pro.” Bardsley will hire a coach who wants to play an up-tempo, fast game, with an emphasis on puck possession. He has a long list of candidates, one of whom is Portland associate coach Kyle Gustafson. “Kyle is a good friend of mine,” Bardsley said. “I think he is a qualified coach. He’s a coach
that’s going to get opportunities. I have a long list of names. He’s certainly a person that’s on my list. He’ll be a head coach soon.” Hay has moved into a hockey operations consultant role with the Blazers. “If Don is going to be around here, I would love to work with him in the capacity that’s allowed,” Bardsley said, noting Hay is good friends with Johnston. “In Portland, Ken Hodge was a little bit like that when there was transition with ownership.” Matt Recchi was relieved of his duties as the Blazers’ director of player personnel last month in the major organizational shakeup. Bardsley will form the new-look scouting staff. “My plan is not to come in and blow everything up,” Bardsley said of the scouting department. “There are good people here. I need to learn from them and find out some of their thoughts. That said, we may be adding people to the staff.” Former assistant coach Mike Needham did not escape the makeover last month. Part-time assistant
coaches Chris Murray and Aaron Keller, along with goaltending coach Dan De Palma, will have conversations about their futures with Bardsley and the new head coach. “Certainly I want to get their feedback on what they would like to do,” Bardsley said. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about Chris, Aaron and Dan. I’ll have some plans in my philosophies. If it’s something they feel good about … I want to make sure it’s good on all fronts.” Bardsley joined the Winterhawks as an area scout in 1999, was promoted to director of player personnel in 2007 and became assistant general manager in 2013. “I felt I’ve been ready [to become a GM], but I wasn’t frustrated,” Bardsley said. “It’s been tremendous in Portland. I wasn’t looking to leave. It was just the opportunity to be a general manager in the league and with a franchise like Kamloops. I felt I just couldn’t pass that up.” During Bardsley’s time in Portland, the Winterhawks claimed four U.S. Division titles, five Western Conference championships and were crowned WHL champions in 2013. “He played an integral part in building our championship teams,” Johnston said. “We will definitely miss him here in Portland.”
Bardsley was asked for thoughts on the roster he is inheriting and what he sees in the cupboard. “There is certainly going to be some changes,” he said. “I like the makeup of the team. I think there are some good young prospects that are already here. “Their recent draft was real good. There are players coming up and there are some veteran players from last year you can still work with. There is going to be a template of players that we want. Same with the coaches. Everyone is going to know what is expected.” Bardsley’s wife, Stacy, was the Winterhawks’ director of ticket operations, but the Blazers’ GM said there are no plans for her to work on Mark Recchi Way after the move to Kamloops. The couple has a two-and-a-half-yearold daughter, Brooke, and is expecting a son in November. “I want to make sure to say how much I appreciate her sacrifices,” Bardsley said. “We don’t have family around anymore. It wasn’t easy to leave Portland. I’ve been there for 19 years. “When I was making this decision, I said, ‘Are you sure you want to do this? It’s a big sacrifice.’ She said, ‘I’ve been making sacrifices the last seven or eight years for you to get this opportunity.’”

Obituaries & In Memoriam Betty Duzsik (Barron) September 26, 1930 - May 26, 2018
Betty passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home with her daughter by her side. She will be greatly missed by her four children Kelly (Frances) Duzsik of Lethbridge, AB, Carol (Kevin) Bigham of Kamloops, BC, Randy Duzsik of Lethbridge, AB and Lisa (Shane) Halpen of Lethbridge, AB. She will also be dearly missed by her four grandchildren Damien (Bonnie) St-Amour, Carmen (Robbie) Gfrerer and Kayla (Mike) Yanosik all of Lethbridge, AB and Matthew (Megan) Bigham of Grand Prairie, AB as well as five great-grandchildren Alex Bigham, Aryanna, Landon and Tate Yanosik and Shaelyn Gfrerer. Her loss will be deeply felt by her brother Fred (Barbara) Barron of Sault St. Marie, ON and sister-in-law Gladys Barron of Collingwood, ON, as well by sisters-in-law in Kelowna, BC and Washington State, USA, numerous nieces and nephews in BC, Ontario and the USA. Mom was predeceased by her parents Frederick and Hendrika (Groenhuysen) Barron, her husband Leslie (1976) , her granddaughter Kelley Bigham (2008), her sister Dorothy McInnes (1970), and her brother Robert Barron (2016). Mom was born in Thessalon, ON. She spent most of her school years in the small town of Webwood, ON where her father was the Presbyterian Minister and later became the principle of the school there. This made for some interesting times for Mom and her siblings. She always said she could write a book about the colourful people in the town and her experiences growing up there. Mom worked unhappily at a candy factory for a few years after high school, although she said she never got sick of the candy and never gained any weight! She decided to start her nurses training at Brantford General Hospital. After becoming an RN in 1954 she and a few of her nursing friends decided to move “out west” to Vancouver for some adventure. A few years later she met our Dad. They married in 1957 and moved to Kamloops where they stared their family and established deep roots - Dad in the hunting, fishing and flying communities and mom in her various workplaces (she never had time for hobbies!). Sadly, Dad died at a fairly young age and Mom was left to finish raising their three children still at home. We never heard her complain. She was our stability and we never thought how hard it must have been for her. Mom worked as an RN at numerous facilities in Kamloops throughout her life, the last being at Gaumont House in Kamloops from where she reluctantly retired at age 76 - only because “the clients were offering to do my work for me”. She made many life long friends during her years in Kamloops. Sadly, many have predeceased her. Mom was devoted to her family. She was a vital part of all her grandchildren’s lives and helped us all in any way she could. All her grandchildren’s lives have been enriched by her presence.
Mom moved in with her daughter and son-in-law nine years ago to be there for her great- grandson Alex after her granddaughter passed away. Alex brightened her days and made her feel needed. She always made sure she had his favourite cookies freshly made and his favourite meals and snacks ready. Alex was a lucky boy to have her in our home. Sadly, Mom’s health began to deteriorate significantly over the last six months and she became more dependent on family for her care. This was intolerable to her as she was always fiercely independent. She did not wish to live like this and we are grateful she did not linger on in this way.
Celebration of Life Alexander Simons
Mom was the best mom, grandma and great-grandma we could have wished for! We will miss her (mostly) unconditional love, her humour, her cooking (the grandkids made sure we got all the recipes) and her presence in our lives. We are truly grateful we had such a long time with her and are also grateful she is now at peace. There are no words to express our thanks to the staff and volunteers at MWS Hospice. Mom could not begin to express how grateful she was for such loving and attentive care. She loved your teasing and jokes too! Thank you so much also to Dr. Sophie Weimar for her support and kindness to mom over the years. She could not have received better care. No matter what you had to say she always left your office feeling better. Also thank you to Barb and Stan Warsimage who were such caring, loving friends to Mom over the years. She looked forward to your outings for fish and chips and then the Casino-they kept her going. Barb, you were there to the end- a support to both Mom and myself- a true friend- we can’t thank you enough. Mom requested no formal gathering and we will honour her request. A private family gathering will be held in Lethbridge this summer. Cremation will take place and her ashes will be placed with Kelley’s at Hillside Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate donations in memory of Betty to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

Always ready to lend her support to the White Rock and South Surrey Newcomers Club, Vi was always a part of the festivities from organizing parties to being a part of the song and dance team.

Beverley Lois (Barbara) Johnson
Barbara was born in Revelstoke on September 26, 1932, the only child of Russell and Doreathea Southworth. After high school she moved to New Westminster to train as a nurse at the Royal Columbian Hospital. After graduation she worked on the paediatric wards at the RCH and Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Upon her marriage to Stane Johnson in 1956, they moved to the Lower Mainland, returning to Kamloops with their family in 1972.
A wonderful father, man and aid. One who was better God never made. A wonderful worker, so loyal and true. One in a million, that father was you. Just in your judgment, always right. Honest and liberal, ever upright:
Barbara was very active in the early years of the Kamloops Art Gallery and was a long time member of the Kamloops Arts and Crafts Club. There was not a craft that she did not want to try. Barbara is probably best remembered for her pine needle baskets. There were also many a child who slept under her whimsical baby quilts. She and Stane also spent many a winter day working on miniature houses, including a couple that became end tables in her living room.
At Barbara’s request there will not be a memorial service.
Loved by your friends and all whom you knew,
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, Kamloops, BC.
My wonderful father, that father was you.
Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577
I love you and miss you every single day Dad.

Doreen Bliault (née Cooper) 1933 - 2018

Predeceasing Doreen were her husbands Andrew Gerald Hodgkiss (1954) and Lloyd Walter Bliault (1997), along with her parents, five brothers and four sisters. Doreen was an inspiration to her family, always putting everyone ahead of herself. She kept a strong faith that was very important to her and always kept the Lord dear to her heart. Mom would stop the world to ensure that her family was taken care of, always offering kind words, or standing at their side whenever needed. She taught her family to love one another, and as her
Mom lived at Cottonwood Manor for the past 17 years, volunteering for many functions, enjoying the company of her many friends over a cup of coffee, and we know how much you all meant to her. Thank you to Dr. Franky Mah, the doctors and nurses at R.I.H., the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice and Drakes Funeral Home for the care, kindness and compassion that was offered to our mother and to ourselves during this difficult time. Our mother will be laid to rest in a private graveside service next to her beloved husband Lloyd in Jasper, Alberta which is a place that was very dear to both of them. If so desired, donations may be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Doreen’s memory. Rest in peace – your loving family Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Geraldine Hubbard
“A Life Lived” “Keep your head down!” Geraldine could be heard saying to her closest golfing friends and at least one of her children after they completely missed the golf ball. She was passionate about the game and the Kamloops Golf Club…but “never got any better at it”. Geraldine was always modest about her accomplishments. She was painter in her earlier years and transitioned those artistic talents into a prolific output of artfully designed quilts. Many younger quilters paid homage to her artistry and technical abilities. The most remarkable aspect of this consuming passion was her dedication to working with other quilters in helping to raise money for the Kamloops Hospital Auxiliary raffles. It was a 35 year journey and the happiness it gave Geraldine was incalculable. Even in her 94th year she was thinking about fabric and design and would force herself to work in spite of her gnarled hands and aching back. From a generation of women who mostly stayed home and raised children, Geraldine summoned the courage to start an in-home kindergarten while still extending unconditional love and attention to her five children. The business was a 16 year success. Some people have a “green thumb” and some don’t. Gardening for Geraldine was arguably a religious experience as every flower, shrub or tree that she planted or cared for flourished and they all mattered to her. She wasn’t actually observed talking to them but it wouldn’t be a stretch to have called her a “garden whisperer”.
Evelyn Byers It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Evelyn Byers (née Messier) of Kamloops, BC. Evelyn passed away peacefully on May 31, 2018, surrounded by her family after a long, hard fought battle with cancer. Evelyn (Ev) was born on December 2, 1942, in New Westminster, BC, and spent the majority of her childhood and adult life in the Maillardville/Coquitlam area, before retiring to Kamloops in 1998 with her husband Fred. Ev was an avid gardener who enjoyed spending time working in her yard, or puttering around the house. She also enjoyed camping and fishing with Fred and Keelah, and would not hesitate to out-fish him at every opportunity. Ev especially loved spending time with her family and friends and was an inspiration to all who knew her. She will be profoundly missed. Ev was predeceased by her mother Dorothy in 2002 and her father George in 2004. Ev is survived by her husband of 55 years Fred, her daughters Sandy (Branwen) of Nelson, Debbie (Kim) of Kamloops, her son Craig of Kamloops and her grandsons Mitchell and Joshua both of Kamloops. Ev is also survived by her brother Raymond (Rachel) of Pitt Meadows and her brother George (Sheryl) of Coquitlam, as well as many nieces and nephews. Ev has requested that there be no service, however a gathering of family and close friends will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, Ev has requested that a donation be made to the BCSPCA, and/or the Kamloops Hospice Association. The family would like to thank the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice Home for their exceptional care during Ev’s final days, and for allowing her to leave on her own terms with grace and dignity. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca
We provide in-home arrangements personally tailored for each individual. Different. On purpose.
As finances allowed in her middle years she and her husband Bill travelled to many exotic places throughout the world. Her adventures became conversation points with her inquisitive children. It has to be said that Geraldine was a loyal and devoted friend to many women in Kamloops and one still living in Victoria. As a mother she exceeded all expectations and was always present with each of her five children. Given her intelligence and general knowledge of the world at large she could engage them with ease and understanding. Each loved her in their own way.
Irene M. Patton
Too dearly loved to be forgotten Irene passed away peacefully on June 2, 2018 at Royal Inland Hospital, shortly after celebrating her 95th birthday. She was born on May 30, 1923 in rural Saskatchewan to Adam and Mary Aeichele. Her family moved to Kamloops in November of 1939. Irene helped care for her brothers and sisters until she married in 1942 and started a family of her own. Highlights of her career included working at Palm Dairy, Patton General store, Fountain Motel and a local dry cleaner until she retired in 1988. Irene enjoyed music, family and friends.
Geraldine passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on May 26, 2018.
She was predeceased by her parents, brothers Lawrence and Alvin Aeichele, sister Dorothy Cole and great-grandson Wesley Patton.
She is survived by her sons William (Bill) Hubbard and wife Kim, Nick Hubbard and wife Linda, Pete Hubbard and wife Lisa, daughters Kathy Danchuk, and husband Ian Douglas, Ayn Cargill and husband Richard, grandchildren Sean Danchuk, Coral Keehn, Dylan Cargill, Tyler Cargill, Cole Hubbard, Carrie Campbell, Courtney Hubbard and Nigel Hubbard. Her grandchildren produced eleven greatgrandchildren and a legacy for all time.
She is survived by sisters Jean Campbell, Pearl (Marcel) Greffard, son Errol (Sharon) Patton and friend Stan Ryder. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren Todd (Sally) Patton, Errin (Jason) Sahlstrom, great-grandchildren Melissa, Gerhard, Nikko and Daniel and great-great-grandchildren Lucian and Drake, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
There will not be an official celebration of life for Geraldine, however, we ask that you think of her and honour her in your very individual way. We can no longer See you with our eyes, Touch you with our hands, But we will feel you in our hearts forever.
As per her request there will be no service. A Memorial tea will be held on Sunday, June 10, 2018 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at Brock Activity Centre, 9-A 1800 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the CNIB. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
Ethernet Cables
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Ethernet network cables have eight wires. Naturally, there are certain ways to connect each wire to the jacks at each end if you want to do it correctly. But never mind getting it right here. The jacks that are commonly used to create these cables force only one wire per connection point. Assume this condition for this puzzle.

Aries, you feel especially creative this week and want to focus on the future. You may have concrete ideas, but don’t know just how to put those plans into action. Seek assistance.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, learning to detach from thoughts and feelings can help you learn which ideas are important and which ones are extraneous. This can help you reduce stress.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2 Gemini, if you feel like something is lacking in your life right now, you may want to surround yourself with some friends who provide inspiration and compel change.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, rather than looking to others for validation, take an inward look and praise yourself. There are so many things you do well, and these are deserving of attention.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you could have some psychically tuned feelings this week and will seem to know about things before they happen. Trust your instincts.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Make yourself more available to your loved ones over the next few days, Virgo. Try connecting with them by discussing your goals and asking advice.
LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, compassion and understanding will drive your actions over the course of this week. You seem especially connected to others and their feelings.
SCORPIO
- Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a hectic schedule may have you feeling tense and resentful of all your responsibilities. Concentrate on one task at a time rather than obsessing about it all.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Reminiscing about the past can be a good way to connect you with your history, Sagittarius. Just do not dwell too much on what should’ve been. Use it as a chance to grow.
COMMUNITY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY Investing in the community to impact change through collaboration and partnerships

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Capricorn, strengthen relationships by letting other people know how much you appreciate them. This will help you feel a greater sense of joy as well.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may feel enthusiastic this week about what life has to offer. Make the most of your rejuvenated spirit. Make an effort to reconnect with an old friend.
PISCES
- Feb 19/Mar 20 Feeling nervous about the outcome of some endeavors is natural, Pisces. But if you work through various scenarios, you will feel more relaxed.
