After 13 years on council, Lange won’t seek re-election DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Calling it the toughest decision she’s ever made, Tina Lange said she will not seek re-election in October. The veteran Kamloops councillor — she was first elected in 2005 — said two factors dominated the internal struggle she had deciding if she would run one more time. First was the death of fellow councillor Marg Spina last year from breast cancer. “That was huge for me,” Lange said. “And I thought that there are so many other things I want to do.” The second was the fact she turns 65 next January. Lange wants to spend more time watching her eight grand-
children play soccer, hockey and other sports. She wants to be with her daughters more often. And, she said, there are places in the world she still wants to visit. Lange won’t miss election day. She said campaigning for office “makes me depressed” and, on past election days, she retreated to her house, waiting for it all to end. Looking back on her 13 years on city council, Lange said she is most pleased that “with my own performance, I didn’t waver.” She points to the pesticidecontrol bylaw in 2015 as a highlight, noting it was obvious some city staff didn’t want to adopt it. “They said it didn’t fit under the urban agriculture plan,” she said. It was a close vote — 5-4 in
favour of enacting the bylaw— after two-and-a-half hours of debate. “I remember thinking this shouldn’t be a big deal, but it was the biggest issue ever,” Lange said. She lost friends over her position on the proposed Ajax mine. “Ajax was a huge one for me. I was one of the first to say no,” she said, attributing the work she did on the city’s airshedmanagement plan as one of the driving forces behind her objection to the project. “I knew the air downtown is often borderline and I had made a commitment with that plan that we wouldn’t let the air get worse — and, hopefully, we would make it better,” Lange said.

Delays in affordable housing openings JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
BC Housing said engineering and site conditions are to blame for delays in constructing more than 100 affordable-housing units in Kamloops.
Tina Lange wants to travel and spend more time with family, which is why she is not running in the Oct. 20 civic election. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
The province announced in January funding for modular housing at two properties purchased by the city — 259 West Victoria St. downtown and 317 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore — as part of a $291-million investment to build 2,000 units
across the province over two years. While construction was due to begin this summer, with applications for occupancy available this fall, a development permit for Tranquille was only secured on Tuesday. BC Housing regional
director Ann Howard told KTW the projects were due for completion by December, but January and February, respectively, are now more likely, Howard said the delays are “not significant.” See BC HOUSING, A7

From A1
She has experienced nasty feedback on some of her positions. One time, a senior accosted Lange while she was in a grocery store and she still has an email from the beginning of her political career, from a person who referred to her with a word few newspapers would print and which can still elicit shock from people who hear it. “You just have to let it go. I had to learn that,” Lange said. “The problem is people think they can say what they want. I used to get nasty phone calls where they’d rant and then hang up and never leave
their name. And now it’s social media.” When she now reads something negative about her on Facebook, Lange said, she will immediately hit the “Like” button and send a message offering to be friends. She is hoping they understand the hidden message that she is not going to be swayed by vitriol and hurtful words. While she is stepping away from council, Lange said she will still be contributing to Kamloops in some other ways, perhaps through volunteer work or sitting on some boards. She wants to keep helping grow “this amazing city. “You know, I ride my bike or
a drive around and see buildings I was part of,” she said. “Yes, we need more social housing, but what people need to realize is we never turned down one [social housing] rezoning application — not one, even though some of them had people saying, ‘Not in my backyard’. “The other thing people need to know is that they think I have to do what they tell me to do. But the thing is, half of the people who voted for me want this, but maybe the other half don’t want it. “I’d like to think people have voted for me because they trust me to make the right decisions for Kamloops.”

Residents recount fire at doorsteps LIGHTNING OFFICIAL CAUSE OF 60-ACRE BLAZE DOUSED BY FIREFIGHTERS MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Residents of a 20-unit townhouse complex in Batchelor Heights had no idea what was closing in on their doorsteps when a grass fire ignited behind their homes last Thursday. Ridge View Heights resident Charlotte Turner was busy making dinner when her boyfriend noticed the smoke. “We went out the front door and there’s ash falling through the air, so we knew the fire was obviously close,” Turner said. “We couldn’t see flames or anything, but saw tonnes of smoke.” Brian Purfield was watching TV at the time and didn’t realize what was going on until his neighbour interrupted the show he was watching. “He called me and said, ‘Have you looked outside yet?’” said Purfield, who is the president of the Ridge View Heights Condo Association. A 60-hectare acre grass fire, which was sparked by lightning at about 5:30 p.m., was burning downhill on the west side of Batchelor Hills Drive, toward homes in the North Kamloops residential area. When the fire broke out, Purfield left his home immediately before any emergency personnel came to the door. “At the time, when I saw everything coming
down, you don’t know what to do, there’s no time to make decisions … there’s a little bit of panic involved and you want to leave as fast as you possibly can,” Purfield said, noting the smoke was getting more intense as he left. Hearing sirens outside their home, Turner and boyfriend Stephen Graham also decided to leave, packing a suitcase of a few belongings. “About five minutes later, I’m assuming it was a firefighter, knocked on the door and he’s like, ‘You guys have five minutes and you’ve got to get out,’” Turner said. A stream of vehicles was seen leaving the neighbourhood, heading down the hill as the fire raged and emergency vehicles sped toward the blaze.

Purfield watched the fire from a friend’s house while Turner and Graham decided to find a hotel. “I was so scared. I thought for sure there was no way we were ever going to see this house intact again,” Turner said. Multiple homes were evacuated that night, but Kamloops Fire Rescue and the BC Wildfire Service had the blaze under control in about three hours. Residents were allowed to return to their homes that night. The remaining large patch of burned grass, visible from around Kamloops, serves as a reminder of what KFR Chief Mike Adams described as a “close call.” The fire burned to within feet of homes in the 20-unit complex. Purfield said there are about six retirees and many young families who live in those units. As president of the condo association, he heard from many of his fellow residents following the fire. “They were basically in tears, telling me this is how fortunate they were,” Purfield said. Flames along the ridge could be seen from across Kamloops, with heavy smoke shrouding the rest of Batchelor Heights as it drifted into Westsyde. The fire was aided by heavy winds. Kamloops Fire Rescue firefighters responded quickly, working to protect homes backing onto the grasslands that were ablaze.

After a decade of helping people during cold nights in Kamloops, an extreme weather shelter will open for the first time this summer — offering a cool place for the city’s homeless to escape the blistering heat. The Out of the Cold program, which operates two nights per week out of St. Paul’s Cathedral from November to March, will expand as Out of the Heat in July and August. “We’re pretty excited to welcome everybody back,” Out of the Heat program co-ordinator Renee
Stein told KTW. In the winter, the shelter allows overnight stays on Wednesday and Sunday nights for those seeking a warm place on which to rest their heads. Summer services, however, will operate during the day, allowing those who might be pitching a tent outside at night temporary refuge from the sun. Sleeping bags, refreshments, lunch and recreational activities will be offered. “During the summers, they can be quite comfortable sleeping at night,” Stein said. “But it’s the heat during the day when they can get sunstroke
at the end of March when funding from BC Housing ended. The City of Kamloops has other plans for that property and is in talks with Tk’emlups te Secwepemc to create a cultural museum in the space. The North Shore Business Improvement Association recently reported an influx of people camping throughout North Kamloops. Two affordable housing projects through BC Housing, the City of Kamloops, Ask Wellness and the Canadian Mental Health Association are planned for North Kamloops and downtown, with 114 units for people transitioning from the streets to independent housing. They are expected to open this winter.
or become dehydrated.” The shelter, which is located at the corner of Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue downtown, will be open Mondays and Fridays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. A count in March revealed at least 190 homeless people in Kamloops. “We don’t have enough shelter space for everybody,” Stein said. Out of the Cold, which is staffed by volunteers, welcomed more than 1,700 people this past winter. The former Stuart Wood elementary downtown served as a temporary cold weather shelter this past winter, but closed
Count:136 homeless youth DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Even though it’s just a snapshot, the picture isn’t pretty as A Way Home Kamloops Society has released the results of the youth homelessness count, conducted earlier this year in the city. Between May 8 and May 10, volunteers counted 136 youth who said they had experienced homelessness or were still homeless in the past year. Katherine McParland, executive director of the society, said that number is largely exclusive of another count in March that found 190 homeless in the city. She said it’s possible some of the youth were in the March tally. Fifty-seven of 136 youth surveyed said they were absolutely homeless — sleeping in public spaces, on streets, in vehicles, in shelters or anywhere else they can find a place to get some rest. Another 35 youth surveyed
account for the hidden homeless, those who said they have housing of some sort, but it’s precarious and not secure. About 21 per cent of those surveyed said they are engaged in survival sex, using their bodies to acquire a place to sleep. Eighty-one per cent of the absolute homeless surveyed are on income assistance or receive disability funding. Thirty-three of those surveyed said they have been released from jail in the past year and are unable to find housing. Another 18 per cent said they were released from treatment shelters. At an announcement in Ontario this week of construction of a youth shelter, one of the speakers said that for every 10 homeless, three might make it out of the cycle of homelessness, another three might continue along that lifestyle, three might spend their adult life on the street, one might move on to some other place and the remaining three would

die prematurely. McParland agrees with that assessment. She said it’s essential for the B.C. government to develop a distinct youth homeless plan that addresses all aspects of the crisis, including the challenges faced by youth who age out of the government’s care system. McParland said she will be using the statistics and the report being created now that dives deeper into the information gathered to continue lobbying the province to bring all ministries that could be involved in the issue together. She said she knows the three days of interviews did not capture other homeless youth who were not counted or those struggling to get by, but not using an social services in the city, agencies that helped with the count. An October 2016 youth-specific count identified 129 youth who had experienced homelessness, including 56 who were absolutely homeless.

uled for Aug. 26. The petition received hundreds of signatures and Blaine scribed messages from supporters onto the flag that flew at BCLC last year, which she recently delivered to city hall. The flag has phrases such as : “We need equality.” “I support my daughter.” “I am an out and proud gay man and I believe the city should support our community.” Decisions on what to fly on the flag pole will be made by consulting legislation and policy, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards. A third flag pole at city hall (the other two poles fly City of Kamloops and Canada flags) will cost $4,000, to be paid for through the city’s gaming reserve fund. Policy updates would also give the mayor discretion to lower flags when deemed appropriate.
Tk’emlups te Secwepemc. Howard said BC Housing is working with the City of Kamloops to bridge the gap until housing is built. She said BC Housing is prepared to provide operating funds for a rental building with washrooms, showers and, ideally, a kitchen. “We recognized that there’s a need and we’re happy to work with the city,” Howard said. The Tranquille Road development, which will be operated by Ask Wellness, is slated to cost $11.4 million. The West Victoria Street project next to the Emerald Centre shelter, both of which fall under the the Canadian Mental Health Association umbrella, does not yet have a price tag. The modular housing units, which are being built by Horizon North, will provide roundthe-clock supports to transition people from the streets to
independent housing. Meanwhile, affordable housing was on the minds of city councillors on Tuesday, when they discussed adopting a final strategy on the matter. The city has been increasing its inventory of social and affordable market housing as the need persists in Kamloops. A report to council noted the city continues to be faced with rising building costs, a lack of new rental housing construction and inadequacy of incomes to match the cost of rent. “The net result of these trends has been a relative erosion of rental housing inventory and rising rental costs,” the report states. “The city does not have the mandate to build and operate affordable housing; however, it has developed an important role in promoting the creating of affordable housing in the community.”

Katlyn Blaine delivered this rainbow flag to city hall, with a petition calling on the city to fly a pride flag. The petition received support from 371 backers. Blaine scribed messages from those supporters onto the flag, which last year flew at BCLC, next door to city hall, after the city denied Kamloops Pride a request to fly it.
show of support,” Kamloops Pride president Kirstin McLaughlin said. The move comes after the city denied a request last year from Kamloops Pride to have a rainbow flag flown at city hall during its inaugural Pride Parade. While the decision was disappointing, she noted the city supported the parade financially by waiving hundreds of dollars in required permits. The decision prompted Kamloops resident Katlyn Blaine to ask her employer, BCLC — which occupies the building next to city hall — to fly the rainbow flag last year. Thompson Rivers University also flew a flag. “I grew up in Kamloops,” she said. “It’s not a lot to ask to fly the flag.” This past spring, Blaine continued her campaign, starting an online petition and calling on city hall to fly the pride flag for the city’s second parade, sched-

BC Housing, city, are working to bridge gap until housing built “Certainly not in the land of construction, where there are so many variables,” she said. The original announcement stated the rental units would open this fall and delays will occur during cold winter months at a time when more people are living on the streets in Kamloops. The Point in Time Homeless Count in March identified at least 190 homeless people in Kamloops — compared to about 100 people identified during a count in October 2016 — raising questions about where those people can go in the interim. A cold-weather emergency shelter was temporarily funded by BC Housing at the former Stuart Wood elementary last winter, but that property has been tentatively earmarked by the city for a cultural museum in collaboration with

A rainbow flag could soon be hoisted at city hall. In a 6-3 vote, Kamloops council on Tuesday agreed to update its flag and banner policy and add a community flag pole at the Victoria Street property to accommodate requests from Kamloops Pride and other groups in the future. Coun. Arjun Singh noted previous councillors stayed clear of the idea due to issues over discretion. “Here’s my problem,” Singh said. “My problem is discretion.” City of Kamloops deputy corporate officer Stephanie Nichols said legal advice would be sought for sensitive matters, noting sponsoring group names would be displayed. Coun. Pat Wallace suggested adding a flag pole in a park or other location. “I won’t be able to support the motion because I’m adamantly opposed to flying a flag other than our own in this location [city hall], but I’m not opposed in another location,” she said. Councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Kathy Sinclair voted in favour. Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Wallace and Singh were opposed. “It’s a very active, tangible

A REMINDER TO BE PREPARED
O
ne minute, you are watching television; the next minute, you are frantically grabbing important items as flames roar down a hill toward your home. The instantaneous transformation from placid to panic was clearly illustrated last week when a lightning strike created a grass fire on a hill above homes in Batchelor Heights. Aggressive winds then blew those flames down the hill and toward homes on Grasslands Boulevard. This all happened within minutes. If not for the work of Kamloops and B.C. Wildfire Service firefighters, the 60-hectare patch of blackened earth now highlighting Batch could have been much larger and caused so much more misery. Brian Purfield was watching TV at the time and didn’t realize what was happening until his neighbour interrupted the show he was watching. “At the time, when I saw everything coming down, you don’t know what to do, there’s no time to make decisions,” Purfield told KTW. “There’s a little bit of panic involved and you want to leave as fast as you possibly can.” The scary situation demonstrates the awesome power and speed of Mother Nature. It should also prompt us all to do what government officials have long been telling us to do — take some time to create an emergency kit for such situations. Whether it is an earthquake, windstorm or wildfire, a serene afternoon can change suddenly. Experts say we should all have at the ready water, a minimum three-day supply of non-perishable food, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, flashlight, first-aid kit, extra batteries and more. We simply don’t know how long we will be out of our homes, nor where will be going. In addition, it would be wise to invest in a fire-proof vault of some sort, into which important and irreplaceable items can be stored, including passports, insurance documents and family photos.

City comes in under budget on projects
C
oun. Arjun Singh posted something this week on Facebook — “One headline you will never unfortunately see: City comes in under budget on big project.” Ironically, his posting came just a few hours after KTW contacted the city’s chief administrative officer, David Trawin, asking for information on how many capitalworks projects the city undertakes come in under, over or right on budget. Sparking Singh’s observation could have been anything, but I’m betting it stems from an online discussion about the parkade art project downtown that is going over budget. I must confess I shared that frustration and wondered why anyone is surprised at any construction project going over budget. Taking off the voter hat and putting on the reporter one, it made sense to actually ask the question. Trawin replied within a few hours on Monday, advising that every year, city administration has to provide a report on capital projects over and under budget. The one for 2017 is expected to make its way to council in the summer, possibly on July 16. However, Trawin added a bit of perspective to those projects and their costs in 2015 and 2016. In 2016, all projects were completed for three per cent less than budgeted, adding $981,000 to the city’s we-didn’t-have-
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL to-spend coffers. In 2015, all projects came in at 5.7 per cent under budget — a cool $2 million in savings. Trawin made an interesting observation about how we look at the costs of the city building things, one that’s important to consider. He said it’s a lot like going to the grocery store with a list. Some things may cost a little more than you thought and some things a little less than you anticipated. Overall, though, you are still on budget. It makes sense. Trawin said council is always asked if it wants to proceed on any tender or request for proposal that comes in over the administration’s estimate of the project cost. And Trawin continued to note the city is under its budget estimate for capital works in its overall plan for the city. • On another note, a few weeks ago, when Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar
suggested his fellow politicians in Victoria go home for lunch rather than collecting the per diem paid, many people jumped on the pot/ kettle bandwagon through social media. They speculated our former mayor might have been a big spender on meals himself during his terms in office at city hall, so KTW filed a freedom-of-information request on meals Milobar billed to the city and the results show that, as editor Christopher Foulds said, Milobar walks the walk. Between 2008 and February 2017, Milobar submitted expenses totalling $40,000 (about $4,400 per year) — and that’s not just meals. That’s hotel costs, fees to attend events and other expenses. All are linked to vital city business — meetings in Ottawa, Union of B.C. Municipalities gatherings, heading to Victoria to advocate on behalf of the city with MLAs, lobbying B.C. Transit and meetings with the provincial government to discuss Recycle BC, the organization that now rules what we recycle on garbage day. Not one single expense Milobar claimed seemed the least bit off. Still being skeptical, I emailed the city again and asked if Milobar ever sprung for a lunch with councillors, some drinks after a meeting — anything? If he did, came the reply, he paid for it himself. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor: Last Thursday’s grass fire in Batchelor Heights was a real eye-opener as to how fast a blaze can spread in seconds. We would like to thank the emergency responders for the outstanding job in responding so quickly. Kamloops Fire Rescue, BC Wildfire Service firefighters and pilots, RCMP, ambulance paramedics, city bylaw officers and volunteers were extremely professional in carrying out their duties. Our biggest disappointment concerned the people who felt they had a right to drive up to our area to take photos while hampering the efforts of the residents, who were told to evacuate their homes immediately. As with any natural disaster, there were so many things that could have gone wrong, but didn’t because of the expertise and hard work of the professionals. Rosalind Flockhart and Bonnie Jesten Kamloops
IDLING BYLAW LACKING INSIGHT Editor: Re: (‘Kamloops council adopts new anti-idling bylaw,’ June 19): This is yet another example of our politicians’ lack of insight and imagination. Would it not be a better idea to examine those occasions when government requires its citizens to take unnecessary vehicle trips? For example, why do we pay a deposit on aluminum cans, which
RE: STORY: PRIDE FLAG (AND OTHERS) MAY SOON FLY ABOVE KAMLOOPS CITY HALL:
necessitates loading our cars up with the empties and a trip to a recycling depot? This is an activity that burns more fuel than does a bit of idling. If the deposit was eliminated, we could put the cans out with the weekly collection. And how many vehicles spend up to an hour on the road driving to and from compost facilities? How many trailers and tires and
tarps do we purchase and ultimately discard to accomplish this? Would a municipally run biweekly garden waste collection, as available in other jurisdictions, be a lower emission/waste option? Finally, why can’t qualified drivers renew their insurance online or through the mail, as is done in other provinces? Marion Bacon Kamloops
IDLING BYLAW EXEMPTS TRUE CULPRITS Editor: Kamloops council’s decision to limit car idling to under three minutes once again demonstrates its inability to really effect change in any meaningful way.
The biggest offenders are the ones council specifically exempted, namely all the cars that idle for far longer as they wait for their morning coffees in drive-thrus. If council was serious about this
issue, it would have gone much further and really addressed the main culprits. Michele Hadley Kamloops

A number of records were set in the summer of 2017 that many in this province won’t ever forget. More than 1.2-million hectares of land caught fire in the province and approximately 65,000 people were forced to flee their homes. When they needed somewhere to go, Canadian Red Cross volunteers were there to help and distribute funds from the provincial and federal governments and donations from fellow Canadians. So far, approximately $120 million has been distributed. That figure was one of several provided by the Red Cross in a one-year-later update given in Kamloops on Tuesday. All told, $162.2 million was raised for wildfire relief efforts — $23.6 million in donations, $100 million from the provincial government and $38.8 million from the federal government. Of the $90 million of that fund allocated to supporting individuals and families, $62.1 million has been spent on more than 66,500 individuals and families seeking support. Another $42 million of the fund was allocated to supporting small businesses, not-forprofits and First Nations cultural livelihoods. Nearly all of that — $40.5 million — has been spent. Community organizations
were given the remaining $29 million, including 49 Indigenous communities that were provided with emergency food and firewood. Only half, $15.5 million, of that allocation has been spent. Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth was at the press conference for the update and said the government is looking at what the province can do better to prevent the need for such relief in coming years. Farnworth said $175 million has been allocated above and beyond what the provincial government provided the Red Cross, including $13 million for wildfire rehabilitation on 236,000 hectares of wildfiredamaged land, $65 million to support reforestation activities, $70 million for reforestation of burnt plantations and mitigation work. A report prepared for the government and delivered in late April contained a number of recommendations based on last year’s fire response, which Farnworth said the government has reviewed and is looking at what it can implement in the short-term. Farnworth said early investments mostly involve dealing with the land — such as reseeding burnt land on steep terrain to stabilize it or infrastructure needs such as replacing culverts. He also said changes could be coming to emergency social services.
“The Red Cross is on an online system for registration, but we’re still on a paper-based system that requires people to register every three days, so we’re looking at making that far more efficient and better into the future,” he said. Other efforts include promoting mitigation programs like FireSmart, which provides information to homeowners on how to protect their property from wildfires. Opposition MLA Peter Milobar (Kamloops-North Thompson) was also at the press conference and told KTW that Kamloops is a good example of how mitigation work can be effective. “We went through all of our interface areas after the 2003 fires and made sure thinning was done and spacing was done, and what we’ve seen as a result is that when there are those fringe fires, our ground crews are able to get to it and keep things under control,” he said. Last week, a lightning-caused fire broke out above Batchelor Heights, prompting a full response from Kamloops firefighters. Despite flames coming down the hill all the way to the roadway, no homes were damaged. “It doesn’t stop a fire from starting, but it does help mitigate the spread and give those responders a chance to get a toe-hold,” Milobar said.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Crown has concluded its evidence against an alleged murderer accused in the 2011 shooting death of a Shuswap drug dealer. Nick Larsen, 24, was shot to death on a quiet Blind Bay street on June 1, 2011. Jeremy Davis has been standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on a charge of second-degree murder. Jordan Barnes pleaded guilty in 2016 to second-degree murder in connection with Larsen’s death and was sentenced to life behind bars with no chance of parole for 10 years. Davis and Barnes were arrested and charged in 2014 at the end of an undercover RCMP operation. Barnes testified against Davis in February, claiming he and Larsen became involved in a

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO Police search for evidence following a June 1, 2011, shooting in Blind Bay that killed 24-year-old Nick Larsen.
turf war over drug sales in Blind Bay the day before the shooting. According to Barnes, Larsen pointed a gun at his chest and told him to stop selling drugs in the community. “He thought I was moving into his territory,” Barnes said. “I just remember seeing a gun and seeing red. I snapped.” In February, Barnes said he got into the passenger seat of
Davis’ SUV — with Davis at the wheel — to go searching for Larsen in Blind Bay. Barnes told court he saw a handgun slide out from under the passenger seat and he used it to kill Larsen. Barnes changed his story in April, claiming the gun was actually his and Davis knew nothing about it. It is not yet known when closing arguments will take place.
Preliminary inquiry set for woman accused of arson, attempted murder A young Kamloops woman facing charges of attempted murder and arson will return to court later this summer for a preliminary inquiry. Megan Medos, 19, was charged following a small fire in an Aberdeen home last year. Emergency crews were called to a home in the 1300-block of
Dunbar Drive just before 5 a.m. on May 14, 2017, for a report of a structure fire. At the time, a Kamloops Fire Rescue official told KTW the blaze was small, limited to an area on the home’s second floor near a couch. He said both residents of the home escaped with their pet dog.
Medos’ three-day preliminary inquiry will begin on Aug. 27. Preliminary inquiries are hearings at which the Crown presents its case against an accused, after which a judge rules on whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial and are bound by publication bans. Medos is not in custody.

Interior Health is the lone region in the province that saw an increase in the number of illicit drug-overdose deaths in May compared to the month before. In the IHA region, there were 23 such deaths in May and 17 in April. In Kamloops, however, there was just one death in May, bringing the year-to-date total to 18. In all of 2017, Kamloops recorded 39 such deaths. In 2016, 44 people died of an overdose in Kamloops, which is the most ever recorded in the city. Across B.C., the report by the BC Coroners Service said, there were 109 suspected drugoverdose deaths in May, a 23 per cent decrease from the same month in 2017 and a 12 per cent decrease from April of this year.

Opinions vary on which proposal should be selected for a monument to honour wildfire volunteers, but residents agree on one thing. “There’s a lot better things to spend money on,” a North Kamloops library patron told KTW when a reporter visited the library on Monday to gauge feedback on models of three proposals for public artwork that will be installed at Sandman Centre by the end of the year. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is paying $100,000 to erect the artwork in honour of volunteers who are said to have contributed some 75,000 hours last year helping evacuees from surrounding communities, many of whom were housed at the downtown arena. The public, including volunteers, are getting the chance to weigh in on three proposals for the monument, with models circulating in communities in the region impacted by the fires. On Monday, the models were in Kamloops. Lend a Hand was created by B.C. artists Lee-Anne Chisholm and Aaron Harder to represent support and the Canadian spirit, underscored prominently by hands and a maple leaf. Library patrons who spoke to KTW appreciated the natural feel of the monument, though some criticized a separate hand coming out of the earth. The second option, Volunteer Spirit, was created by Garry Davies and Maureen Light of Kamloops. It features three figures holding up a sphere covered in activities carried out by volunteers. Patrons who shared their thoughts appreciated the sphere, which lights up from the inside to provide an illuminated mural in the dark. Another library visitor liked the idea of their kids being able to interact with
the piece, which had space to climb underneath. The third and final option is a bench created by Kamloops’ artist Vaughn Warren — who also designed the river pole at Columbia Street and Summit Drive— called Helping Hands: A Place of Rest for Volunteers. Warren’s artist statement describes the work as a place of rest, meeting and visiting, which would be ideal for taking photos. It incorporates open hands and a heart, each coloured to represent the fires (red), fire-free safe havens (green) and the Thompson rivers (blue). Views differed on how functional the commemorative sculpture should be. “It should be admired, not slept on,” one woman said. All three proposals received votes when KTW visited, eliciting a variety of opinions as subjective as public art itself. A recurring theme, however, was continued frustration over the dollar figure attached. One person called all three pieces of artwork “terrible,” linking them back to the price tag. Another said half of the money could have been used for a smaller-scale monument, with the other half used to fund rural fire programming “in the spirit” of the fire aid given by volunteers. “It’s a lot of money,” the woman said. TNRD chair John Ranta earlier told KTW the board had not reconsidered its decision despite public backlash. “There was no formal vote to reconsider the decision to spend the money; however, everybody was aware that there was some anxiety expressed,” Ranta said at the time. Meanwhile, at the library, many residents cast ballots and took solace in having a say in the artwork, even if they don’t have a say on the price. A decision on which piece of art will be chosen as a monument to wildfire volunteers is expected in mid-July.

Five members of the climbing team. From left: Bryan Thompson, Ron Ireland, Susanna Oreskovic, Stuart Rickard and Joe Vanasco, Not pictured is former Thompson Rivers University student Paddy McGuire. ERIC DELORME PHOTO A team of alpinists will explore the Waddington Range of Western B.C. in the same way it was done by the first party to attempt to climb Mount Waddington, led by Don and Phyllis Munday in 1926. A team of climbers will approach Waddington via steamship up Bute Inlet, hike along the Homathco River Valley to Coola Creek, then approach Waddington Glacier. Camps will be established and supplied along the way. The party will then follow Waddington Glacier to Mount Munday, traverse that peak to reach Tidemann Glacier and attempt to climb Waddington via the Bravo Glacier route. A film crew will accompany the re-enactors and make a documentary film of the expedition. At 4,000 metres (13,000 feet), Waddington is the tallest mountain entirely within B.C.
Time travelling mountaineers DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Imagine lugging 1,400 pounds of food and supplies through an uneven terrain for five kilometres along a huge river. The route includes crossing a trestle bridge and climbing a ridge that divides a couple of other waterways. Keep in mind the trip has to be done three times by each of a six-member expedition team and a support squad of four, all dressed in 1920-era clothing and using equipment created to that same time-period specifications. That’s the only way to get everything needed for The Mystery Mountain Project to where it has to go, said Ivan Petrov, a member of the team that plans on spending five
weeks re-creating a climb led by two people almost a century ago. Paddy McGuire, a former Thompson Rivers University student, is another member of the crew that plans to climb Mount Waddington, just as Don and Phyllis Munday did in 1925. For McGuire, the trip poses a tough challenge. “But if it was easy, everybody would be doing it,” he said McGuire said he likes climbing trips and has been on plenty of them, indulging his love of mountaineering in the Rockies, along the B.C. Coast and in the U.S. and Nepal. McGuire got involved in Mystery Mountain adventure when he joined the Canadian Exploration Heritage Society, a
not-for-profit group dedicated to “raising awareness about Canadian explorers and the retelling of the stories that make up part of Canada’s history,” as its website explains. Inspiration for the trip grew from the experiences of the Mundays, two climbers who were determined to find and climb a high peak Phyllis saw one day off in the distance while they were on a trip to Vancouver Island. Cartographers and others insisted what they were calling Mystery Mountain did not exist, but the Mundays eventually found the 4,000-metre-high (13,000-foot-high) mountain — the highest peak in entirely in B.C. — and climbed to its northern peak, about 24 metres (80 feet) below the actual summit.

I tried new jobs, new friends, new relationships and new towns. Nothing I tried ever stopped me from using. I believed I was defective and my willpower weak. I had no idea I was physically and biologically unwell (the World Health Organization deems addiction a disease). As a health-care professional, I knew medical ailments require assistance, but somehow did not see this applying to me. Today, I see how absurd I had been in trying to treat an illness — addiction — by myself. It has now been more than 25 years since my last drink. I write this column because of my shame. I almost died alone in my bathroom of fentanyl poisoning. I preferred death over discovery and facing my truth. I have been angry at the opiate crisis plaguing us and I need to do something, no matter how small. This column is my personal attempt. It is fashioned upon the Dear Ann Landers advice columns. Ann is not my real name, as stigma is real. One day I plan to reveal who I am, but for now I hope to humanize my illness and take stigma away. Readers may ask all questions relating to addiction — be it gambling, sex , love, alcohol, opiates, pornography or food. If I don’t have the answer, I know someone who will as my network is extensive. Questions asked of me include: What does it feel like to be high? Why didn’t you just stop? When and why did you start? Were you ever psychotic? What’s the worst thing you did? Send your questions to editor@kamloopsthisweek. com. Anonymity is guaranteed.

The Mundays spent years returning to what is now known as Mount Waddington. Every summer, they spent a month dealing with storms, grizzlies, glaciers and the simple reality the mountain was a significant challenge, even for veteran climbers. Petrov said the drive to be as authentic as possible extended to climber Susanna Oreskovic, who found and restored a 1921 camera she will use to help document the trip. She plans on using the same platinum-paladium printing process Phyllis Munday used when she made one of the climbs. Modern technology is also along for the climb. There will be plenty of digital photos and video that will be used later to create a documentary, Petrov said. Total cost of the expedition is $88,000, which the team has been raising through fundraisers and sponsorships. McGuire said much of the time after they head out on July 5 will be spent just getting the team — and all the supplies and equipment — to what he called a formidable mountain. It is expected the actual climb will start on July 20 on the northwest ridge to its summit, with mountaineers then heading for the top on the second or third day of climbing. The support team gets to fly out by helicopter on July 29 — taking all the garbage along — while the climbers hike back to Bute Inlet, then down the Homathko River Valley. The expedition is schedule to end on Aug. 4 and the team is expected back in Vancouver on Aug. 5. “I started [climbing] when indoor climbing gyms didn’t exist,” McGuire said of the sport. “I like big adventures and if there’s one planned, I’m in. This is going to be cool.”

Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region. A group of nine professional archeologists living and working in the area contribute columns to educate and fascinate. From writing about specific sites to the life of an archeologist, the columns uncover the complex past of the land on which we walk in the present. To read previous columns, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and search “Dig It.”
The steps that form an archeological review or mitigation strategies can be designed before impacts to archeological sites have occurred. Taking a proactive approach reduces frustration and cost while protecting a non-renewable resource. An archeological overview assessment (AOA) is frequently the first step in this process. The AOA is a tool to define the archeological potential (e.g., areas with high, moderate and/or low expectations for sites) of a project area and determine the presence and nature of documented archeological sites. It is conducted following provincial guidelines and standards, but does not involve an HCA permit. The first step typically includes reviewing the remote access to archaeological data (RAAD) system, an online database of archeological information maintained by the provincial archaeology branch. The archeologist will then
TODD PAQUIN STAFF REPORTER republicofarchaeology.com
Archeological sites on provincial and private lands are protected in B.C. under the Heritage Conservation Act (HCA). Each site is unique and provides information on the cultural adaptations people made to their natural, social and non-physical environments. Many provide a tangible link between today’s First Nations, their ancestral groups and the landscape. Once disturbed or destroyed, sites cannot be replaced. When a developer proposes a project, government agencies or First Nations (for on-reserve lands) may direct them to work with a professional archeologist before the project is approved for construction. Initiating archeological review of a proposed project early in its planning stages means avoidance
examine the reports associated with the RAAD results, as well as other archeological, ethnographic, historical, environmental and terrain data. In this way, the archeologist gains an understanding of details or gaps in information relevant to the proposed project area and generates expectations for what archeological resources may be found. The archeologist will contact First Nations whose territories overlap with the project area to notify them about the proposed project and associated AOA. This provides an opportunity for First Nations to contribute unpublished traditional, cultural and/or archeological knowledge that may not be otherwise available for review. This notification and information-sharing process is a means for the archeological community to maintain respectful relationships and participate in First
Nations heritage policies. When it is not possible to delineate a project area’s archeological potential during the background review, the archeologist conducts a direct observation, preliminary field reconnaissance (PFR) as part of the AOA. The PFR is also conducted to provincial standards and guidelines. It is standard practice for First Nations members to participate in the PFR, which provides cultural knowledge and land-use interpretation to improve AOA results. Documented sites within the project area are visited to verify or refine what has been previously recorded. In addition, surface artifacts or features may be observed at newly identified archeological sites, increasing knowledge of the project area. However, artifacts are not collected, nor is any digging conducted during the PFR. At the conclusion of an AOA,
the archeologist prepares a report for the proponent. It will include a map that outlines identified areas of potential and locations of any archeological sites. The archeologist assesses the anticipated project impacts in light of the desktop and/or PFR results. Recommendations are then provided for further archeological work if project activities cannot avoid identified areas of concern. Generally, the earlier in a project schedule that archeological assessment is conducted, the easier it is to adjust the project to avoid areas of concern. The report is provided to the project proponent, to identified First Nations and, as necessary, to regulatory agencies. Todd Paquin is a Kamloops-based archeologist. Interested in more?

TRU buys apartment buildings for $33 million
COMMUNITY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY Investing in the community to impact change through collaboration and partnerships

TRU president Alan Shaver praised Milovick and his team for the years they have worked on the plan. As for a potential overpass connecting the complex to the larger campus across the Summit Connector, Horgan said Friday’s housing announcement might speed up that discussion. If an overpass is built, Milovick said it would start at the empty land behind the Upper College Heights buildings. When an overpass was last discussed in 2012, the estimated cost was $5 million. TRU also has 872 housing units at two residence complexes; 570 are in the 11-storey residence on the north side of the campus, with two- and four-bedroom units, and another 302 are in buildings on the south side of the campus, at McGill Road and Dalhousie Drive. A market study last year indicated TRU needs to add another 104 housing units by 2021. Since universities do not pay municipal property taxes, the City of Kamloops will no longer receive property taxes from the property once it is 100 per cent student housing. Based on its assessed value of $26 million and the residential tax rate of 5.5 per $1,000 of assessed value, tax revenue lost would be about $143,000.

Thompson Rivers University’s campus has crossed Summit Drive with the purchase of the Upper College Heights apartment units. The $33.4-million price tag and $3.5-million renovation planned are being helped with a $25.5-million loan from the provincial government. The university has a 142-unit expansion planned for the site, with hundreds of more units eyes for future development on an adjacent parcel of land that is part of the purchase. Upper College Heights, which sits across Summit Drive from the university, at 704 McGill Rd., has long been used as residences by TRU students, who simply have to walk across Summit to get to class. The deal was announced on Friday morning at the apartment complex, with Premier John Horgan and two cabinet ministers at the press conference. Upper College Heights and the adjacent 3.4-hectare piece of land, which are assessed at $26 million, were purchased from a numbered company which owned them and will become part of the TRU campus. Matt Milovick, the university’s vice-president of administration and finance, said specific details of the
loan have yet to be finalized — including the interest rate — but Horgan said the project benefits from the government’s ability to borrow money at a rate lower than the average person would pay. Milovick said work will begin next spring on renovations and some construction at the 391 units that are in six buildings at Upper College Heights, which is at the northeast corner of McGill Road and Summit Drive, behind the Kamloops-Thompson school district bus yard. Milovick said future plans include expansion on the 3.4-hectares, with 400 more units possibly added. No students now living in the buildings will be evicted while renovation and expansion work proceeds. Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Selina Robinson spoke on the housing crisis students at many post-secondary institutions face. She said in her own riding of Coquitlam-Maillardville, she has heard of students knocking on doors, looking for rooms to rent. Robinson applauded the partnership between her government and TRU to address “this desperate need.” Horgan said adding to the student housing inventory at TRU should ease the rental situation in the rest of the city.
The City of Kamloops wants to develop a strategy to implement the Energy Step Code. The provincial initiative phases in more energy-efficient construction guidelines under the building code, with the goal of net-zero energy-ready buildings in the next 14 years. Council directed staff during a March workshop to apply for funding to assess and implement the code. On Tuesday, staff are asking council to endorse developing an implementation strategy, along with allocating $110,000 from the climate action reserve fund to pay for assessment and engagement activities and half of the costs for a community energy specialist over two years. FortisBC would pay for other half of position. If approved by council, the climate action reserve fund would have slightly less than $1 million left, with other commitments and revenues taken into consideration. The province has allowed communities a transitional implementation, with supports to accommodate green updates to the building code. Victoria wants to implement higher standards across the board by 2032.

can potentially be achieved, the likelihood is low.
We feel this applies to retirement planning. Just like a road map, you need to know where you want to go in order to know how to get there. In short, you need a plan. There are many variables to consider from savings rates, rates of return and tax rates to retirement dates and longevity dates (a polite way of estimating when you will pass away). There are more than a few numbers we try to extrapolate a path from today through retirement. A lot can skew one's plan. There are potential financial setbacks such as job loss, income drop, separation or medical event. Using the wrong assumptions can also wreak havoc on a financial plan. I was reading an article the other day giving examples of how much savings is required to build a portfolio of one million. I was surprised the see they assumed a rate of return of 10%. Not many financial planning professionals would use this number today. The reason? While it
The Financial Planning Standards Council (FPSC) oversees Canada's Certified Financial Planners and is considered the gold standard in financial planning. Each year their panel of experts comes up with projections, assumptions and recommendations for building financial plans. Here are a few highlights:

According to Morningstar®, historically the stock markets the U.S. and Canada have returned closer to 10%, however the assertion here is that the potential return for these markets is expected to be lower in the future. For simplicity, let's assume an investor takes a balanced approach with 40% fixed income and 60% equities (stock) and consider that their stock portfolio is half in Canada and half in Global. This would suggest a projected rate of return of 5.5%. From here, we might consider using 5% in the retirement plan in order to give a bit of buffer.

What happens if a retirement plan forecasts too high of a return? Let's say a plan is built forecasting 6% a year return, however given an investor's preferences and current market conditions he or she only earns 4%. After 25 years and ready to retire will $1 million, they would amass $877,023 or about a 12% shortfall. The impact could mean the need to work longer, save more money, or spend less in retirement. None of which are appealing. To avoid these potential situations, we recommend using a conservative rate of return for investors when doing retirement planning. Why does all this matter? A 2017 CIBC financial priorities poll found that nearly half of Canadians do not have a written financial plan and even fewer have reviewed it recently. According to the Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC), those who work with an advisor for 15 years on average amass 173% more in investment assets than those who do not work with an advisor. We feel advisors who have earned the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) or equivalent are your best option as they have undergone additional training, certification and require continuing education to maintain their designation. We believe every investor should have a written financial plan and review it every 2-3 years, or after a major life event. Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

Construction begins on Legacy Square project KELSON GROUP’S RENTAL BUILDING SECOND TO BREAK GROUND AT THE REACH KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A groundbreaking ceremony at The Reach development at Thompson Rivers University on Friday marked the beginning of construction of Kelson Group’s 77-suite, five-storey multi-family rental building on the north side of TRU’s Old Main Building. The company’s goal is to welcome its first residents to Legacy Square in late 2019, as the 20192020 school year gets underway. The Reach is a 25-year plan to create 3,500 multi-family housing units, retail and office spaces, as well as other services, on the TRU campus. Legacy Square is the second building to break ground at The Reach. Construction began last October on the four-storey, 57,000-square-foot Creston House development. It will consist of 50 contemporary condominium homes available for purchase by anyone in the com-

Loewen, 20, is aiming to become the second Jamaican-born player to crack an NHL roster, the first being Graeme Townshend. The Kamloops forward was born in Mandeville and moved to an orphanage in May Pen before he was adopted. The Loewens brought him home to Arborg, Man., where he did not start playing organized hockey until he was 10. Loewen had a breakout season in 2018-2019, leading the Blazers in points, with 64, and goals, with 36, in 66 games. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
Lajoie to coach Blazers Serge Lajoie is the head coach of the Kamloops Blazers. Lajoie was among those shortlisted to succeed Don Hay, who retired from the Blazers this past spring after becoming the winningest coach in Western Hockey League history. Lajoie, 49, spent the past three seasons as head coach of the University of Alberta Golden Bears men’s hockey team, where he won the U Sports championship last season. Lajoie became head coach of the Alberta Golden Bears in time for the 2015-2016 season when Ian Herbers stepped away from the position for a three-year sabbatical. “There were a lot of qualified candidates and some very good interviews, but in the end, I felt really strong about Serge,” Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley said in a release. “He is an excellent communicator, a teacher of the game with a focus on devel-

opment and has a good understanding of today’s players. These are qualities that I believe are important in a coach to help maximize the players’ development as well as the overall success of an organization.” Lajoie, from Bonnyville, Alta., was a defenceman for the Golden Bears for five
seasons and won the Canadian university championship in 1992, when Billy Moores was Alberta’s head coach. Billy’s brother, Don, is the Blazers’ president and COO. The Blazers connections don’t stop there. Lajoie played seven games in blue and orange in the 1986-1987 season, recording two points. Don Moores was an assistant coach for that team, along with Don Hay. Lajoie also played four seasons in Germany before getting into coaching. In addition to his three-year stint at the U of A, he spent five seasons as assistant coach with the Golden Bears and was head coach of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology men’s hockey team for five years. He has also coached and been a coach mentor at many Hockey Alberta events. He recently led Team Alberta to a gold medal at the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup.
Lajoie has also worked with Hockey Canada on two occasions, serving as assistant coach at the 2015 Under-17 World Hockey Challenge and as assistant coach at the 2016 Under-18 World Championships. “This is an excellent opportunity for me to be involved with such a strong CHL organization,” Lajoie said in a release. “There have been so many great players and coaches come through Kamloops. I am looking forward to the challenge of continuing this rich tradition of excellence. I’m excited to work with Matt, the staff, the entire organization and the players in creating a strong environment where each player has the opportunity to maximize their potential.” Lajoie and wife Kelly have two children, Marc and Isabelle. Marc was a first-round pick of the Tri-City Americans at the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft and Isabelle is entering Grade 12, with plans to attend the University of Alberta.

The Wolves won the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association gold championship game.
Mosquito champs crowned The 11-and-under mosquito Kamloops Minor Baseball Association season came to an end with a pair of championship games. In the gold title tilt, the Wolves devoured the Navy Expos 21-8. Jayce Matkowski led the way with two home runs, including a grand slam that sealed the mercy-rule victory. Kieran Milne was 3-for-3 at the dish for the Wolves. “Our bats really came alive this game and every player on the team contributed,” Wolves’ head coach Devin Matkowski said. Two pitchers stole the show in the silver championship game — Nash Pearce for the Blue Expos and Grady Johnson for the Mustangs.
The Blue Expos won 5-2, thanks in part to Pearce, who racked up 11 strikeouts in four innings of work. Pearce neither gave up a hit nor walked any batters. Grady Johnson was excellent on the mound for the Mustangs, striking out nine batters in three innings of work. “I’ve never seen anything this dominant from two 11-year-old year pitchers,” Mustangs’ head coach Ryan Johnson said. Johnson, Pearce and Matkowski will begin the all-star summer season with the mosquito RiverDogs, aiming to qualify for the provincial championship in August in Chilliwack.
The team was selected after the national club volleyball tournament, held in Edmonton earlier this month. “Being recognized as being two of the best players in the country is certainly a big achievement,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly said. The last TRU player to play on Canada’s youth team was Gord Perrin, who now plays professionally in China and is the captain of Canada’s senior men’s team.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Lionel Messi and Argentina finally got things going at the World Cup. Messi scored an exquisite 14th-minute goal to give the two-time champions the lead in a must-win game against Nigeria on Tuesday, but it wasn’t until Marcos Rojo’s 86th-minute strike that Argentina was assured of a place in the round of 16 with a 2-1 victory. Victor Moses scored from the penalty spot in the 51st minute for Nigeria, putting Argentina in danger of being eliminated without winning a match in Russia. It took an unlikely goal by Rojo — a centre back — to save Argentina with a cushioned volley into the corner. The win gave the Argentines second place in Group D and allowed the soccer-mad nation to forget about the 3-0 loss to Croatia last week that sparked days of soul-searching within the squad and back home. Argentina will play France in the last 16 in Kazan on Saturday, keeping alive Messi’s quest for a first world title.

Iceland could have finished second in the group with a victory because Argentina beat Nigeria 2-1 at the same time. Instead, the Croats will face Denmark on Sunday in Nizhny Novgorod.

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.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
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!
Using the digits 2, 6 and 5 exactly once and any of the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and factorial, come up with expressions that evaluate to the integers 0 to 9. (n! is the product of the integers from 1 to n. 0! = 1.)

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Opportunity is knocking, Aries. You must tune in and listen to it this week. Stay passionate in your endeavors, but exercise a little cautioun as well.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, honesty may be the best policy, but you may have to temper how much information you reveal at one time. Be a little stingy around sensitive people.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2 Gemini, this week may be off to a bumpy start, but you are perfectly capable of turning things around in a hurry. Just don’t race too far ahead without a plan.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, you are heading in the right direction, but you may have to fine-tune the destination this week. Your intended romantic target may not be the perfect fit.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Planning and project management seemingly takes over your life, Leo. Just when you think there is no time for fun, an exciting opportunity falls in your lap.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your creative muse has come calling and you can’t resist her siren’s song. Dabble in any artistic or craftsy project you can get your hands on in the next few days.
JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2018 LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 People often see you as even-keeled, Libra. But tempers may flare this week if you don’t get your way. Others should watch when you’re fired up.

Bessie (Elisabeth) Farr On the morning of Monday, June 18, 2018 at the Hospice Home in Kamloops, BC, Bessie passed away peacefully at the age of 90 from lung cancer. She was born Elisabeth to parents Cornelius Hildebrand and Elizabeth Dyck on July 26, 1927 in Waldheim, a Mennonite colony near Cuauhtemoc in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Her family moved to Gnadenthal, Manitoba in 1930. There were five girls named Elizabeth in grade one so her teacher provided a different nickname for each. She got Bessie which remained with her for life. Another move took the family to Matsqui, BC in 1946. Bessie graduated from Philip Sheffield High School in nearby Abbotsford in 1948. Afterwards, she worked as a nurse’s aide at the Royal Columbian Hospital and as a clerk with Kelly Douglas. Bessie met John Farr through her sister Nellie. They fell in love and were married on July 5, 1952. They resided in Powell River where John was a teacher. Four children were born from 1953 to 1962. They moved to Kamloops in 1967 as a family of six when John took a new position in educational television. Bessie dedicated her life to the care and well being of her family. In her day, she loved to play golf. This included a hole-in-one on the sixth hole at the Kamloops Golf & Country Club in 1983 and teaching her youngest son the game. Bessie took up kick boxing in her mid-seventies. Her homes were infused with the healing aromas of essential oils. Other passions included choral singing, bridge, curling, and gardening. Bessie is survived by her children Veb (Julie) of Magna Bay, Lisa (Tom) of Winlaw, Lori (Graham) of Comox

The Angel on Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N. Union Blvd, Suite 4 Colorado Springs, CO 80918

I LOVE REAL ESTATE! Your home is your most valuable possession.
I love living here and working here, so it’s no wonder to me that others want to make it their home, too. While our city keeps growing and the landscape keeps changing, people’s basic needs tend to stay the same… especially when it comes to buying and protecting their most important asset, their homes. My experience has always centred around helping people from all walks of life, which has made a career in real estate a perfect fit for me. Working to do a great job as your realtor is my goal, whether you’re thinking of buying or selling I would be pleased to help you. Call Doreen. RE/MAX Real Estate (Kamloops)
