tant to discuss two Kamloops Mounties identified as IIO subject officers, believed to have been directly involved in the actions that killed the deceased. MacDonald said subject officers are afforded the same constitutional rights as accused criminals and are not bound to co-operate with investigators. “I don’t really want to speak about what the subject officers have done to this point,” he said. “Like I said, they are not under any obligation to speak to us.” MacDonald said the IIO’s investigation is progressing well. “We have gathered information from many witnesses to this point in time,” he said. “We’ve also gathered a good deal of other information, such as radio transmissions and vehicle information from the RCMP. We have some video from overhead and it’s ongoing.” At the conclusion of an IIO investigation, the agency either issues a public report detailing its findings or recommends criminal charges to Crown prosecutors.

The watchdog agency probing what police say was a deadly shootout last week between Kamloops RCMP and an unidentified man is remaining tight-lipped, refusing to say whether two officers believed to have been involved in the incident are co-operating with investigators. Police said a man was killed on Friday during an exchange of gunfire with officers near the top of Rose Hill, about four kilometres south of the residential subdivision. “No officers, nor any other members of the public, were injured,” an RCMP statement stated, noting the investigation had been handed over to the Independent Investigations Office (IIO), the watchdog agency tasked with looking into deadly and violent situations involving police in B.C. Rose Hill residents had previously taken to social media to report more than a dozen police cars racing through their usually quiet neighbourhood. “Neighbours were a little bit

concerned, but once they realized it wasn’t within the neighbourhood itself, they all sort of calmed down,” said Andrew Karpiak, president of the local neighbourhood association. “When you’ve effectively got one way in and there’s 15 squad cars racing up the mountain, it rattles a lot of people.” Speaking to KTW on Tuesday, IIO spokesman Ron MacDonald said he could not provide any information about the deceased’s identity, his manner of death or any weapons he may have had with him at the time of the incident. “Those are, in fact, the key questions our investigators must answer,” MacDonald said. “While we try to disclose facts about a case at the outset so people can have an idea of what happened, the key questions that go to the reasons for what occurred we will always hold off on until we’ve concluded our investigation.” MacDonald said IIO investigators concluded their search of the scene on Monday and are continuing to conduct interviews with witnesses, both police and civilian. But MacDonald was reluc-

Kamloops civic election: two for mayor, 21 for council and 10 for school board KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

ELECTION 2018

There will be 21 people vying for eight councillor seats in Kamloops in the Oct. 20 civic election. Only two people are running for the mayor’s chair, while the board of education race — in which five Kamloops seats are on the line — has attracted 10 candidates, including familiar names from city council in past and present Nominations closed at 4 p.m. on Friday, with six incumbents and 15 newcomers taking aim at the eight council seats up for grabs. The crowded councillor ballot includes incumbents Donovan Cavers, Ray Dhaliwal, Dieter Dudy, Kathy Sinclair, Arjun Singh and Denis Walsh. Also running are Jennifer Adams, Nicholas Adams, Dale Bass, Chris Bose, Corally Delwo, Dennis Giesbrecht, Shawn Harnett, Sadie Hunter, Jim Johal, Stephen Karpuk, Caroline King, Alison Klie, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai and Gerald Watson. The name of former MLA Kevin Krueger, who ran in the 2017 Kamloops byelection and said he was seeking a seat in this year’s election, was not on the final list of candidates as

More coverage begins on Page A14 of the 4 p.m. deadline. Krueger said he tripped on stairs in his yard on Friday morning, landing on his forehead and suffering a concussion. He said he spent most of the day in the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital, missing the deadline to file. Krueger is recovering at home. In the mayor’s race, incumbent Ken Christian is running against William Turnbull. In the board of education battle, former school trustee and city councillor John O’Fee is among the candidates, along with incumbents Kathleen Karpuk, Joe Small and Meghan Wade. Also seeking seats are Donovan Cavers, Bowen Cooluris, Heather Grieve, Adam Jensen, Beat Klossner and Kerri Schill. Cavers is running for both a seat on council and a seat on the board of education. It is legal to hold both offices at one time. Earlier this month, Cavers told KTW he was considering running for both offices, but

decided against the idea. He eventually filed on deadline day, but told KTW this week he may yet withdraw by this Friday at 4 p.m., which is the deadline to do so. In the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, two of the three areas bordering Kamloops will have a contest. In electoral area J (Copper Desert Country), which includes Cherry Creek and Savona, incumbent director Ronaye Elliott is being challenged by Corine LeBourdais. In electoral area L (Grasslands), which includes the area south of Kamloops, from Knutsford east to Pritchard, incumbent director Ken Gillis is running against Mollie Routledge and John Turner. Mel Rothenburger, director of electoral area P (Rivers and the Peaks), which includes Black Pines, Sun Peaks, Paul Lake and Pinantan Lake, is unopposed. Candidates have one week — until 4 p.m. this Friday — to withdraw from the race. Campaign spending limits begin on Sept. 22. Mayoral candidates can spend up to $57,500. Board of education hopefuls have a spending limit of $29,600, while councillor candidates are capped at $29,000. Individual contributions to a candidate have a limit of $1,200.

City to look at installing solar on roof of TCC pool JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

City staff will be bringing to council this fall recommendations regarding upgrades to the Canada Games pool building and a Thompson Rivers University professor says it provides a unique opportunity to further invest in sustainable energy by adding solar panels to the facility’s flat roof. “This is a focal point where people from all around Canada come to workout and train and compete,” TRU professor Michael Mehta told KTW. “We’re showing the world that Kamloops shines, literally, and that we’re actually using that sun power to power our building is symbolic. Secondly, it’s the right thing to do.” The building was constructed in 1993 for the Canada Summer Games and roof upgrades have been on the city’s books for a couple of years. “It’s at the end of its useful life,” city civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said. “A building, over time, we’re going to have to

invest some money in for sure.” Putnam said the city has been working with engineers and plans to bring a package to council in October or November. Included in that will likely be discussion about renewable energy, though Putnam would not further disclose details about what that could look like. As the city explores the possibilities, Mehta, who is also CEO of Sweet Spot Solar Company, has drafted designs of what a solar roof above the pool might look like. He estimated it would cost between $300,000 and $320,000

installed and could save money in the long run as BC Hydro rates rise. “When you build a solar array like this, you’re basically pre-buying your power,” Mehta said. “The price of the electricity never goes up.” As electricity rates climb, Mehta said taxpayers would realize savings. “It more than pays for itself over time,” he said. The City of Kamloops previously installed solar panels on a clubhouse in Aberdeen Highlands and on the washroom facility at Singh Bowl in Brocklehurst.

A workshop this week in the River City will put the spotlight on affordable housing. “We know that lots of interesting work is happening in Kamloops,” BC Non-Profit Housing Association chief executive officer Jill Atkey told KTW. The Regional Education, Network and Tradeshow (RENT) will be hosted by the association this Thursday at The Plaza Hotel, located at 405 Victoria St. in downtown Kamloops. The association supports B.C.’s nonprofit housing sector by in part offering educational opportunities, including an annual conference that moves around B.C.’s Interior. Atkey said much of the conversation related to affordable housing is centred around the Lower Mainland, though the rest of the province has also been grappling with the issue. The association is also behind the Canadian Rental Housing Index, which looks at rental housing affordability in communities across Canada. It paints a grim picture of the city’s rental market, one in which nearly half (47 per cent) of the city’s renters are spending more than 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities and

spending on average $1,031 per month. Atkey noted medium incomes in the city are lower than the rest of the province — $40,000 compared to $46,000. “People’s dollars don’t stretch that far,” she said. “When you’ve got almost half of renters in a community spending more than they can on rent, they’re foregoing other basic necessities like food and child care.” The association’s policy director, Marika Albert, will provide a local update at the conference and the day-long event will bring together a variety of stakeholders, including nonprofits, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and local and provincial governments, with the hopes of educating but also facilitating relationships as the province looks to innovative partnerships after pledging to develop 114,000 affordable housing units in B.C. Asked about a solution, Atkey stressed increasing the supply of a range of affordable housing options. Challenges include the time it takes affordable housing projects to go from plans to being built. Atkey expects in the next four years the province will start to turn a corner. In the meantime, however, she stressed innovative partnerships and bringing municipalities

on board. Some ways in which municipalities can curb the issue include waiving property taxes, waiving development cost charges and fast-tracking development processing and permitting times. “All of that has a direct impact on rent,” Atkey said. As for innovative partnerships, Atkey noted the event will also include a panel on the revitalization of Spirit Square in Kamloops. Moderated by Radio NL’s Shane Woodford, the panel will include Ask Wellness executive director Bob Hughes, Arpa Investments partner Joshua Knaak, City of Kamloops assistant director of development David Freeman and Kamloops North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Jeremy Heighton. “Those sorts of partnerships are what we’re going to be seeing a lot more in the future,” Atkey said. RENT runs from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday and will be followed by a stakeholder networking reception. The association will also be offering a step-by-step workshop on Friday for non-profits regarding development of affordable housing. For more information, go online to bcnpha.ca.

More paramedics coming to Kamloops MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Ministry of Health is creating more fulltime paramedic jobs in the Kamloops area. Speaking to reporters via conference call Tuesday, Health Minister Adrian Dix announced that an additional 18 full-time positions will be added to the 24 already in place in the Tournament Capital. Another three full-time positions are being added in Chase to enable regular staffing seven days a week, Dix said. He said he expects most of the hirings to be filled internally by on-call, part-time paramedics and the positions to be filled by the end of the year.

The hiring process began on Tuesday, Dix said. There will also be two more ambulances added in Kamloops for a total of seven vehicles. There are two ambulances in Chase. “These additions to our service will add and improve response times and really deliver for people in the Interior what they expect from the ambulance service,” Dix said. Dix said that he feels today’s announcement is an “appropriate response” to increased ambulance call volumes in Kamloops and Chase. For Kamloops, he said, there were 13,351 medical emergency calls up from 12,243 two years prior in 2015. Median ambulance response times in 2017 were recorded at eight minutes and 51 seconds, up from eight minutes and 27 seconds in 2015.

In Chase, there were 699 medical emergency calls last year, up from 546 in 2016, with an increase in response time from eight minutes and 53 seconds in 2016 to 10 minutes and nine seconds last year. “We obviously want and expect those numbers to improve with these new hirings,” Dix said. The new jobs are part of a budget increase for BC Emergency Health Services across the province, Dix said. He said the new jobs in Kamloops make up $1.7 million in staff and ambulances from a government commitment to add $91.4 million over three years. This is year two of three. The ministry also announced on Monday the creation of new paramedic positions for Kelowna.

Road blitz sees Mounties issue 15 tickets Kamloops RCMP traffic services issued 15 tickets in a 2.5-hour span last week. The tickets were issued on Thursday to drivers who failed to slow down and move over for a police vehicle conducting traffic stops on the TransCanada Highway in east Kamloops. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said most motorists claimed they did not know about the law, which requires them to slow down and, if safe

A man was seen wandering in the North Shore neighbourhood with what appeared to be a firearm, prompting several cruisers to respond. Diana Skoglund, the communications manager for the KamloopsThompson school district said the lockdown — which the district and police called a “hold and secure” — was done as a precautionary measure. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the incident ended at about 1:30 p.m. with the arrest of a 17-year-old from Alberta. He was dressed in camouflage clothing and was carrying a replica BB handgun.

City staffer studying Secwepemc Tammy Robertson works with Tk’emlups te Secwepemc on behalf of city JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A city staffer began learning Secwepemctsin — the language of the Secwepemc — in recent weeks after working more closely with a local First Nation. “To help me better understand the culture and be respectful of the culture, I wanted to take the opportunity to learn the language,” City of Kamloops external relations manager Tammy Robertson said. Robertson, who liaises with Tk’emlups te Secwepemc on behalf of the city for projects such as the Peterson Creek multi-use pathway and the proposed cultural centre at the former Stuart Wood elementary, began weekly Secwepemctsin classes three weeks ago, alongside about 10 others. “I’m enjoying it very much,” Robertson said. Secwepemc language is culturally significant, linked to ecological and historical knowledge, values, beliefs, stories, structures and spirituality. The Secwepemctsin sound system consists of 43 consonants and five vowels and many of the sounds are not in the English language. Tk’emlups language co-ordinator

Ted Gottfriedson called learning Sewcpemctsin bridge-building and a step toward truth and reconciliation. “That is definitely a very personal step towards that,” Gottfriedson told KTW. “In terms of someone learning our language who is not Secwepemc — that’s huge. That’s a good positive step. If we would have done that before, problems would have been averted.” He said only two people — ages 78 and 86 — on the reserve speak Secwepemctsin fluently, with about 20 to 25 adult learners and kids taking it through the public school system. “What happens when they leave us is we’re left with the people that have been learning,” Gottfriedson said. “Whatever level I achieve and people like me, that’s what we’re left with. It’s scary. I’ve been learning the language quite a while. I’m worried as the language co-ordinator for our band and as a regular band member.” Tk’emlups offers a beginner’s course online for anyone interested in learning the language at tkemlups. ca/language-lessons. Courses are also offered at Thompson Rivers University and through Simon Fraser University at the band office. Gottfriedson said anyone interested

in learning can contact him through the band office at 250-828-9700. “I want to share our language,” he said. “It’s good for people to be able to say ‘Hello, how are you? My name is.’ Those are great things to be able to acknowledge the territory.”

MORE THAN ONE VOTE THIS FALL

e would bet most people haven’t thought much yet about an important vote that will be held this fall. No, it is not the Oct. 20 civic election — though that is indeed an important event. We’re talking about the provincial referendum on electoral reform. Elections BC announced this week that by the end of September, a referendum information card will have been mailed to every household in the province. Referendum packages should be arriving in the mailbox between Oct. 22 and Nov. 2, with responses mandated to be in by Nov. 30. This is a mail-in referendum. As such, we’re concerned about voter turnout. It’s hard enough to get people out to the polls to elect someone to represent them in government these days,(consider the 30 per cent turnout for civic elections, which is the norm), let alone get them to physically find a mailbox and send out their ballot. Then there is the fact there will be four different voting systems on the ballot, about which all of those voting will have, ideally, educated themselves. To find out about the four choices check out elections.bc.ca/referendum or go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and watch a video explaining it all. Search “So, you want to know what proportional representation means?” Some who feel strongly about this issue have organized campaigns, for and against. Their passion and insights may help you make your decision. It sure beats letting inertia make the decision for you. We all have busy lives, but this could change the very foundation of how we choose our government for years to come. Don’t let this vital question be decided by only a small fraction of citizens because it’s going to affect us all.

The civic race begins

hen the nomination deadline arrived last Friday at 4 p.m., the Oct. 20 civic election had two people running for mayor, 21 people seeking one of eight council seats and 10 candidates seeking one of five board of education slots. How does that compare with the September byelection? Last year, Ken Christian rolled to victory in a six-man mayoral race, receiving almost twice the number of votes as his five challengers combined. The councillor race in last year’s byelection featured the same number of candidates as are running this year — 21 — with 11 trying again this year and 10 being newcomers. However, compared to the last three general civic elections — in 2014, 2011 and 2008 — there are fewer candidates this year. In 2014, there were four mayoral candidates (double that of this year), 28 councillor hopefuls (seven more than this year) and 15 people seeking school board seats (five more than this year). The elections of 2011 and 2008 also featured more names on the ballot. As for male-female ratios, there continues to be more men than women on the ballots, which has been the trend this century. On the councillor ballot, male candidates outnumber female candidates 14-7. Previous elections and ratios: 2017 (13 men/8 women), 2014 (16 men/12 women), 2011 (17 men/7 women) and 2008 (18 men/8 women).

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Female candidates did do well when votes were counted, claiming half of the eight seats in 2008, five of eight seats in 2011, three of eight seats in 2014 and one of two seats up for grabs in last year’s byelection. On the school trustee ballot, there are six men and four women running this year. In 2014, the ratio was eight men and seven women. As for mayor, this century has yet to see a woman run for the city’s top political office, with two men running this year, six men in 2017, four men in 2014, four men in 2011, three men in 2008, three men in 2005 and two men in 2002. The most notable absence on the ballot this year is Kevin Krueger, the bombastic former B.C. Liberal MLA who finished third in last year’s byelection race to fill two council seats. Krueger used his Facebook page to campaign, regularly criticizing the current council, labelling it an “NDP farm team,” and specifically targeting Donovan Cavers, who Krueger accused of

various misdeeds, including riding his bike to events, then “bumming” rides home. Apparently, a fall at home and a lengthy stay in the hospital’s ER on Friday thwarted any notion of filing papers (though one wonders why the papers were not filed on any of the previous eight days of the nomination period). Other surprises include a name in the board of education battle. John O’Fee has come full circle, being a former trustee and city councillor while working as a lawyer. And, despite telling KTW three weeks ago that he wouldn’t, Cavers decided he would and is seeking both a seat on council and on school board — unless he decides he won’t and withdraws from the latter race by this Friday, which is the deadline to do so. Meanwhile, the decision by former KTW reporter Dale Bass to seek a seat on council had two candidates question this newspaper about its planned coverage. Bass’ retirement date coincided with the deadline to file nomination papers, so she filed the day before and we had her candidacy profile online later that day and in the next day’s newspaper, along with other profiles as we continue to ensure each candidate gets equal profile coverage. Going forward, candidates may get some ink depending on how they do at various forums we cover — but the fact they may have once worked here has no bearing whatsoever on coverage. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CAREFUL WITH THOSE KNEE-JERK REACTIONS Editor: I’ve been hearing a lot about the dissatisfaction people have with the current harm-reduction initiatives in our city. I can understand why. Anyone who visits downtown even once a week will have noticed the drastic increase in homelessness, drug use, assaults and other uncomfortable incidences. Simultaneously, Interior Health

and ASK Wellness have been ramping up their efforts to help the less fortunate and make harmreduction resources available. It’s natural to look at these two trends and think one may be causing the other — natural, but not necessarily correct. In fact, the opposite could be true. I’m not claiming to know the answer. I don’t have access to the data,

experience or education that (I hope) the decision-makers in the city have. What I am doing is recommending caution before any hasty decisions are made. The old adage could be true: “If you build it, they will come.” Perhaps having so many resources for the less fortunate is indeed attracting undesirable elements to our city.

Or perhaps these services are holding back an overwhelming trend of mental illness and homelessness caused by other external forces. If it’s the latter, a hasty removal of those services could utterly destroy our beloved downtown core. Be careful. Matthew Piroddi Kamloops

PHRASING WAS NIGHTMARE WITH PROBLEM TENANT OFFENSIVE Editor: Re: Douglas Morrison’s letter of Sept. 14 (‘It’s time to take back town from thugs’): I found the phrasing to be offensive. Categorizing people with addictions as not being “normal” people and using terms like “druggies” is not acceptable. In the summer of 2017, I lost my best friend to a fentanyl overdose. This has been one of the most challenging obstacles I have ever encountered, so when I read stuff like this, I take it personally. These are people like my best friend and they deserve better than this. I can only request that next time, you think of somebody’s someone before publishing such hateful letters. Liam Bass Kamloops

Editor: I agree with the Sept. 5 letter from Marguerite Dodds regarding the tenancy branch being partially responsible for the housing shortage (‘Residential tenancy branch shares the blame’). I have a basement suite that has not been rented for more than a year. After what I was subjected to, I doubt I will ever rent it out again. The residential tenancy branch supports the tenants, not the landlord. What I went through last year with the branch and the tenant was a nightmare. There was no support for me from the branch and I received wrong and conflicting information regarding the process I was to follow to evict a problem ten-

ant. I called the police several times and they came out, but they had limited power over what they could help with. It was not until I got a lawyer that the branch sat up and took notice. Then the process went quickly and I was able to get the tenant out. By the time the dust had settled, the eviction, with bailiff services, had cost almost $10,000. This included the junk removal inside and out, the cleaning that had to be done by a specialized team due to mouse infestation (no regular cleaning company would come out due to the threat of the hantavirus), an exterminator and

a vent company to clean and disinfect the vents. I also had to pay to store the tenant’s possessions for a month. This was all because he refused to move after receiving legal notice for cause and nonpayment of rent. After this, the tenant can go back to the branch, receive a pat on the head and get another damage deposit, more rent money and start again. I know there are good people out there who would appreciate living accommodations for $600 a month. But the stress and fear I went through keeps me from renting the suite out again. L.

Turnbull pushes people power JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

William Turnbull wants to listen and speak up. The mayoral hopeful told KTW he wants the city to be run by residents and council, not by mayor and city staff. He pointed to the defeated performing-arts centre proposal, which he said was destined to become a parking lot from the beginning. Turnbull said public input could be improved if rules were changed to allow residents to speak at council meetings about topics that don’t relate to the business of the meeting. “We need to have a look at that and we need to have a lawyer look at that,” Turnbull said. The 51-year-old retiree has lived in Kamloops for little more than a decade after moving to the city from Williams Lake. He is married to Jennifer Turnbull, who works for Interior Health, and has an adult daughter, who lives on the Coast. Affordable housing tops issues facing the Tournament Capital, said Turnbull.

“Which means it’s housing for everyone,” he said. “Housing is a concern for most people.” Asked how he would tackle affordable housing as mayor, Turnbull said he has already started — by setting up a meeting with BC Housing’s regional director and donating $2,500 to JUMP, a drop-in soup kitchen in North Kamloops. Turnbull does philanthropy work under the moniker Turnbull Humanitarian Foundation, though it is not a registered charity. Money comes from deceased family members, he said, which was invested, along with his own income, to live off while donating to various causes. A logo for the foundation includes the motto “Fortuna Favet Audaci,” which translates from Latin to “Fortune Favours the Bold.” Turnbull also donated to the first Pride Parade last year in downtown Kamloops, along with donating to the campaigns of Kathy Sinclair, Sadie Hunter and Bill McQuarrie in the 2017 byelection. “One of the first things I asked was, a) are they human?” he said. “Reason being for that is do they care about other people?”

THANK YOU!!

In evaluating council’s past term, Turnbull lauded Coun. Denis Walsh for standing alone on issues. He saw Walsh’s push for council agendas to be released earlier as a “slam dunk” and was surprised and angered when it wasn’t supported until it was “watered down.” Asked if he would resemble Walsh if elected mayor, Turnbull said he has much to learn in his first run for politics. “I would definitely continue to do my best to be passionate,” he said. “I’d be pretty surprised if it [being elected] silenced me.” Asked about his ability to manage meetings, which would be part of the job as the city’s top elected official, Turnbull noted he has chaired the Downtown Neighbourhood Association (he lives downtown) and his strata council. As the lone mayoral candidate to challenge Mayor Ken Christian, Turnbull noted Christian received 10,000 votes in last year’s byelection. “If two-thirds of the progressives come out to vote, we got this,” he said. Find Turnbull on Facebook by searching “William James Turnbull for Mayor of Kamloops.”

CIVIC ELECTION Oct. 20, 2018

Here’s your chance to ask questions MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Kerri Schill is seeking a seat on the Kamloops-Thompson board of education in the Oct. 20 civic election.

Schill’s focus on reducing poverty MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kerri Schill hummed the theme song to Rocky as she climbed the steps of city hall to submit her nomination papers for school trustee. Making the run for a school board seat in the Oct. 20 civic election inspired her rendition of the tune because the 41-year-old care-aide has always wanted to do something important for her community. “As a care-aide, you get to do that … but this way I get to take my two passions of health care and education and put them together,” Schill said. If elected, Schill intends to promote nutrition and the reduction of poverty in the school district by

lobbying the province for more funding. “There’s a lot of children in SD73 that do not get enough food,” she said. “There’s a lot of kids who also don’t have enough money to do extracurricular activities. They don’t have enough money for school supplies.” There is a food-sustainability program at Brock Middle School that Schill said she would like to see operating in all schools — one example she cited as a way to improve nutrition in the district. Schill doesn’t see much need for wholesale changes in SD73, but rather tweaks she believes she can help accomplish. “If I do get elected, I don’t want to come in and create waves. I want to work with those that are already there that have been there and work together,” she said.

Working collaboratively, Schill aims to create district-wide improvements to classroom conditions and wants a plan of action in place to ensure there are sufficient staff numbers, including learning assistant teachers, librarians and Aboriginal education workers. Originally from Logan Lake, Schill has called Kamloops home for many years and works at Ponderosa Lodge. She has been a residential care-aide for the past 10 years. Schill is a mother of three children, both former and current students of SD73, and is married to a longtime teacher in the school district. Schill’s website is at electkerrischill.com. Find her on Facebook by searching for “Elect Kerri Schill.”

Meghan Wade is seeking re-election to the Kamloops-Thompson board of education in the Oct. 20 civic election.

The chair of the Kamloops-Thompson school board still has work to do. Meghan Wade initially thought she would call it a career, but after thinking about it over the summer, she decided to

seek a fourth term as a school trustee in the Oct. 20 civic election. Wade said she wanted another term to address issues such as the need for more capital plan funding from the province to address the needs of a growing student population. “I spent the last two years lobbying and advocating very hard

Wade said communication and collaboration with community partners are areas in which SD73 can improve upon. She noted the district has made strides in the area of communication, citing the creation of a new district website. Wade, who has served as board chair for the past two years, is in her 50s and has called Kamloops home since 1989. She has a daughter who attended NorKam secondary. Wade spent 20 years working with female survivors of trauma and abuse and women re-entering the workforce through her own business and via the YMCA/YWCA.

for that and it’s not done yet — and I can’t leave until I try harder,” Wade said. “We haven’t had any significant capital dollars into this district in almost 18 years.” Though she’s been on the board for the past 10 years, Wade said she doesn’t feel responsible for the lack of funding because the demographics of the district have changed. Eight years ago, enrolment was declining and there were more than enough schools to house students, she said. Today’s space issue is concentrated on Kamloops’ south shore and in Westmount. Wade said the board needs to figure out ways it can address the issue in the meantime because even if it receives the necessary funding for expansions, those will take years to complete. If re-elected, her goals in a fourth term are to continue finding ways to help teach-

One of two men found guilty of weapons charges stemming from a shooting incident in Merritt last year is a free man, while a second man found guilty in the same incident will be behind bars for another three months. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley has sentenced Michael Drynock to 21 months in jail and Kleon Pop to 29 months, less time served. They also each received a year of probation. Drynock and Pop were credited with 26 months in jail for time already served (calculated at 1.5 days per day spent behind bars awaiting trial), which means Drynock is no longer in custody. Crown prosecutor Laura Drake sought 38 months in jail for Pop and 27 months for Drynock, while the defence argued for time already served in pre-trial custody and no probation. In July, both men were convicted of possessing firearms while prohibited, but were acquitted of reckless and intentional discharging of a firearm into a residential street on the night of April 22, 2017, fol-

lowing an altercation with a group of men intent on fighting them. Drynock, 22, was also convicted of assault and carrying a concealed knife with brass knuckles, while Pop, 30, was also found guilty of using an imitation firearm while uttering threats and possessing a concealed extendable baton. During the trial, court heard a man by the name of Alex Collins and four other men approached a house in the 2500-block of Coldwater Avenue, where Collins had been assaulted by Drynock and threatened at gunpoint by Pop earlier in the day at a party where all had been drinking. When they called out the two men from the street, the group was met by gunfire from the house. The five men retreated, but were followed by Pop and Drynock to a field at Diamond Vale School, where the accused were eventually arrested by police. Upon arrest, they were in possession of a rifle and shotgun. In her submissions, Drake suggested the shots fired that night — despite Drynock and Pop having been acquitted of those charges — were an aggravating factor Dley should take into consideration when making his decision.

Dley said he could not take the shooting into consideration because he would indirectly be sentencing for an offence of which he found the defendants not guilty. In rendering his verdict, Dley found that one of the two men fired the gun, but couldn’t determine beyond a reasonable doubt which one of them pulled the trigger. During the trial, Collins testified he saw the barrel of a gun appear at the front door, but couldn’t see who was firing it. Drake also argued both Drynock and Pop’s lengthy criminal records should factor into sentencing, noting Drynock had six prior weapons prohibitions and Pop’s manslaughter conviction from 2012. In making their case for a lighter sentence, defence lawyers Richard and Alfred Kaiser cited their clients’ issues with alcohol, their difficult upbringings and their completion of various programs while incarcerated. Dley returned his decision the same day as arguments were heard. Under the terms of their probation, Drynock and Pop must remain 100 metres away from Collins and the four other men he was with the night of the incident. They also received lifetime bans on possessing firearms.

No deaths and 22 reversed overdoses KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

More than 7,000 people passed through Interior Health’s supervised mobile drug-use site in Kamloops during the program’s first year, with 22 overdoses reversed and no deaths recorded. A retrofitted RV is being used as a supervised drug-use site, with the vehicle being parked downtown at the Crossroads Inn, at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue, and on the North Shore at ASK Wellness’s offices at 433 Tranquille Rd. It operates five days a week, downtown in the afternoons and on the North Shore in the evenings. The program began in the summer of 2017. In addition to lives being saved at the sites, Interior Health said 634 referrals were initiated for people in Kamloops

seeking help with housing, mental-health and addiction services and other supports. “It is encouraging to see that clients who traditionally do not engage with health-care providers are regularly accessing this service,” said Maureen MacKinlay, Interior Health’s interim administrator of mental health and substance use in IH West. Interior Health said an evaluation of the service found that, overall, the service is meeting objectives, with people finding staff welcoming and knowledgeable and many visitors accessing nursing services and being connected to community supports. Said one person who took part in the evaluation: “I feel more positive and have access to other services.”

Said another: “Staff are kind and understanding of addictions.” Interior Health said the evaluation also identified areas for improvement, particularly the constraints associated with the use of a retrofitted RV, such as space limitations, privacy concerns and mechanical issues. An action plan has now been developed to build upon some of the evaluation’s findings. “This is a relatively new service and we expect it will continue to develop,” MacKinlay said. “Moving forward, we are committed to keeping our community partners informed and involved.” To learn more about Interior Health’s response to the ongoing opioid overdose crisis, visit the public health overdose emergency page at interiorhealth.ca.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO “OVERBRUSH” YOUR TEETH?

Brushing regularly is considered vital for healthy teeth and gums, but it is possible to overdo a good thing. This “toothbrush abrasion” often leads to gingival recession and tooth sensitivity, by scrubbing away your enamel and exposing the sensitive dentinal root area at the neck of the tooth. Receding gums also lead to further problems, such as periodontal disease and root caries, which are difficult and unsightly to fix with white fillings and occasionally reaches the root canal; you can even lose the tooth. The Wall Street Journal estimates that 10 to 20 percent of the population have damaged their teeth or gums from overbrushing. It is the diligent person that is most at risk for tooth or gum damage from overbrushing; especially if you use a medium or hard-bristled toothbrush. Additional factors, such as genetic predisposition to receding gums, clenching or grinding your teeth, or having had your teeth straightened with braces, can increase your risk for damage from overbrushing. Brushing vigorously isn’t necessary to remove plaque. Plaque is soft enough to remove with a cotton swab but it’s hard to access the whole tooth with a cotton swab. Good brushing technique is what is required for plaque removal, not aggressive brushing, and that takes time to achieve. We dentists recommend that you brush your teeth for two to three minutes to get the most thorough cleaning. Use a soft or ultrasoftbristled toothbrush; place the head of your toothbrush with the tips of the bristles at a 45-degree-angle to the gumline when brushing. Don’t saw back and forth across the teeth with your toothbrush but rather apply just enough pressure to feel the bristles against the gums. If you are squashing the bristles, you’re brushing too hard. Sweep “in a curling action” by rotating your wrist, angling the bristles towards the biting surface of your teeth and then move to the next tooth. Changing brushing habits can usually stop the problem from getting worse. But if the gums have been brushed away, it is still possible to do some gingival grafting to ressurrect the gums into what was originally there…new gum tissue. Note that the goal of grafting is to thicken the tissues to prevent future recession and the earlier you treat the recession, the better chance of covering the tooth root as well.

Use of trans fats in food products now banned Canada’s ban on the main source of artificial trans fats came into effect Monday, making it illegal for manufacturers to use the additive in any food made or imported into the country, as well as in any meals prepared in restaurants. The ban takes aim at partially hydrogenated oils, or PHOs, which

The new regulation applies only to PHOs, not naturally occurring trans fats, which can be found in some animalbased foods such as milk, cheese, beef and lamb.

texture to food as a replacement for butter. They also extend the shelf life of many foods, including commercial baked goods like cookies, pastries, donuts and muffins, snack foods and fried foods. But they are known to increase levels of bad cholesterol, raising the risk of heart disease. The head of the Heart and

Stroke Foundation, an organization that has long pushed for the removal of trans fats, said he is thrilled to finally see the ban implemented. “This important and final step will eliminate these heart-clogging fats from our food supply, benefiting the health of all people in Canada by reducing the number

of heart attacks and saving lives,” Yves Savoie said in a statement. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death, killing tens of thousands of Canadians each year. Replacing trans fats in foods with unsaturated fatty acids, such as canola oil, decreases the risk of heart disease. — Canadian Press

OTTAWA — A Toronto-area MP who shocked political observers on Monday by ditching the federal Liberals for their Conservatives foes says she isn’t aware of other members of her former party who are ready to cut bait. Leona Alleslev said Tuesday her decision to switch parties was entirely a personal one, suggesting her choice may not reflect greater turbulence within the ranks. “Of course leaving a party to go to another party, you’re leaving a team to go to another team,’’ she said in an interview. “That’s a difficult decision and one that everyone really needs to make, I think, on their own.’’ Alleslev’s unexpected decision, how-

ever, has left her Liberal colleagues in disbelief, including dozens of volunteers who canvassed this spring to ensure she could fly under the Liberal banner again in 2019. Clayton Haluza said he was sitting at his desk on Bay Street when he learned Alleslev had defected — a choice leaving him, and his party, blindsided a year out from an election. Haluza, the president of the AuroraOak Ridges-Richmond Hill Liberal riding association, said he spent a good five minutes on Monday staring at the wall thinking, “what the heck has just happened?’’ when he read an update on his phone about Alleslev’s defection. “There are no words to describe it,’’ he said Tuesday, adding he did not receive a heads up. “We had worked together since before she became a member of Parliament.”

Canadian NAFTA team issued warning: Time is running out CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Republicans in the U.S. Congress are ratcheting up pressure on Canada to get a deal done on the North American Free Trade Agreement. House of Representatives majority whip Steve Scalise, who represents the state of Louisiana, delivered a stern warning Tuesday about “growing frustration’’ in Congress with what he calls Canada’s “negotiating tactics.’’ In a statement, Scalise said Canada is running out of time to get on board with the bilateral agreement in principle negotiated last month — without Canada’s involvement — between the U.S. and Mexico.

“Members are concerned that Canada does not seem to be ready or willing to make the concessions that are necessary for a fair and high-standard agreement,’’ the statement reads. “While we would all like to see Canada remain part of this three-country coalition, there is not an unlimited amount of time for it to be part of this new agreement.’’ That appeared to be a response to recent indications from the federal Liberal government in Ottawa that it won’t be held to an artificial deadline, nor will it rush the talks to settle for an agreement that it doesn’t consider fair or good for Canadian industries and workers.

UNITED STATES

GOP stands behind nomination ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Republicans are forging ahead with plans for a Senate hearing they had hoped to avoid on a woman’s claims that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were high schoolers, hoping to salvage the judge’s endangered Supreme Court nomination with a risky, nationally televised showdown between him and his accuser. Republicans reversed course and agreed to the hearing in the face of growing demands by GOP senators to hear directly from Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, now a psychology professor in California. Their sworn testimony, certain to be

conflicting and emotive, will offer a campaign season test of the political potency of a #MeToo movement that has already toppled prominent men from entertainment, government and journalism. Ford says that at a party when both were teenagers in the early 1980s, an intoxicated Kavanaugh trapped her in a bedroom, pinned her on a bed, tried to undress her and forced his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream. She said she got away when a companion of Kavanaugh’s jumped on him. Kavanaugh, 53, has vehemently denied the accusation. He said in a statement Monday that he wanted to “refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity.’’

B.C. company providing pot for U.S. study CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canadian licensed marijuana producer Tilray Inc. has received the green light from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agency to export a medical cannabis product south of the border for use in a clinical trial. The Nanaimo-based company and a researcher at the University of California San Diego believe it is the first export of a cannabis study drug from a Canadian company to the U.S., where marijuana is still illegal at the federal level. Tilray will be exporting capsules containing a cannabinoid formulation with the active ingredients cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as CBD and THC, for a study examining the drug as a potential treatment for adults with essential tremor. Getting the approval was a monthslong process and required an OK from the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. DEA, said Dr. Fatta Nahab, a neurologist and associate professor of neurosciences at UC San Diego’s medical school.

Rare fire whirl caught on video FORT ST. JOHN — A towering funnel of smoke and flames captured on video by a firefighter with the BC Wildfire Service is giving viewers a peek into the surreal world that crews have faced while battling some of the worst wildfires this summer in British Columbia. In the video posted to Instagram by firefighter Mary Schidlowsky, three crew members can be seen in a tug of war against what she calls a “fire tornado,’’ which is sucking a hose skyward like a kite string. “Fire tornado destroyed our line. It threw burning logs across our guard for 45 minutes and pulled our hose 100 plus ft in the air before melting it,’’ Schidlowsky wrote in the post. The smoke is too thick to show it, but Schidlowsky wrote that the column stretches 60 metres into the sky.

Crews cleaning grounded barge QUEEN CHARLOTTE — Crews in British Columbia say they’re making some progress and the weather is co-operating as they deal with a grounded and potentially explosive barge on Haida Gwaii. The barge carrying Westcoast Resorts’ Hippa Lodge broke from its moorings and ran aground on Lina Island, near the village of Queen Charlotte, on Sept. 8. The Council of the Haida Nation said in a release that removal of the cargo — a process known as lightering — began late Monday and that each step requires significant co-ordination and careful execution. It said detailed plans are in place for safety, environmental protection and the safeguarding of culturally significant areas.

Dig It: After the blaze comes archaeology and wildfire recovery

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 this page and online at kamloopsthisweek.com twice per month. To read previous columns, search “Dig It” on our website.

JOANNE HAMMOND

SPECIAL TO KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

s our second consecutive season of enormous wildfires winds down, the recovery is underway. Alongside foresters, range experts, road and bridge builders, archeologists are combing the landscape and literally picking up the pieces left behind after the blazes. In most of B.C., we’ve been fortunate not to lose many homes or buildings, but the fire’s impact to the land itself is substantial: vast tracts of forest burned to nothing have left bare slopes and loose silt. Fence lines that defined cattle ranges are gone. Fireguards and ad hoc roads made in the effort to contain the fires have also scarred the land. The work of stabilizing slopes, rebuilding fences and reclaiming fireguards is just beginning. In all of these settings, archeological sites long hidden under the surface have been exposed and the scientific information and cultural knowledge contained in these sensitive and finite cultural resources are at risk. In archeology, fire recovery is considered in two main areas: the impacts caused by fires themselves and the often much more serious damage caused by heavy machinery used to fight the fires. Impacts to sites from the flames generally includes destabilizing site deposits, as ground cover, tree roots and organic layers that have protected buried sites are burned off. This means sites long held in place under forests are now exposed and at risk of literally slipping away. Severe mechanical damage is caused to sites by plowing through forested landscapes to create breaks, helipads and staging areas. Features like housepits and earth ovens are easily destroyed and

artifacts can be broken and displaced. In the Southern Interior, caring for these remains in the wake of the fires has become a co-operative project of local First Nations, archeologists and the Ministry of Forests. As you read this, archeologists and Indigenous field technicians are surveying the fire zones, recording new sites and assessing

damage to known ones. This triage work will continue through the fall and into next year as we decide which sites need attention and what, if anything, we can do to preserve their value. Fireguards in particular are providing an exciting opportunity to get a glimpse at terrain we’ve seldom had a chance to see. Fireguards are a swath of ground about a tree length in width and

plowed around a fire’s perimeter in an effort to contain it. They are giving us an excellent look at terrain commonly overlooked by archeological researchers. In our area, hundreds of kilometres of fireguards made to contain the giant Elephant Hill wildfire of 2017 have been surveyed, painstakingly walked by crews looking for signs of archeological deposits.

What we’re finding is refining how archeologists think about pre-contact land use. While we usually focus our attention on residential occupation in large river valleys, we’re now finding more and more sites in all kinds of different settings, from headwaters to valley bottoms. In the hills above Cache Creek, we’ve recorded several extensive stone-tool processing sites. In the mountains around Loon Lake and Hihium Lake, we’ve visited highelevation butchering sites used by hunters more than 6,000 years ago. In the Bonaparte River Valley, ancestral villages abandoned more than a millennia ago have been exposed. Because the guards have been built through all kinds of environmental settings, they’re giving us a kind of random sample, peeling back the cover on places we wouldn’t normally see or even consider when looking for archeological sites. The destruction of the recent wildfires is awesome and undeniable. But for archeology, the opportunity to glimpse the past at this scale is golden and will forever change how we reconstruct the past.

6TH ANNUAL

Overlander’s Day September 23rd • 10am-3pm Brock Park

Celebrate Overlander’s Day on the North Shore

Glaciers were receding through the interior valleys of BC, when the North Shore got its first taste of community. Indigenous populations travelled through our valleys, set up communities along our Shore, traded with coastal tribes and waged war on our hillsides. The Shore has seen a lot of change over the last few thousand years. In the late 1800s and early 1900s the BC Fruitlands Company segmented the Shore into lots and invited

immigrants from all over the world to come here and start a new life. Names that show up on the 1920s map include some of our current community leaders. At the time, the community was a mishmash of cultures, originating countries and diverse practices. All of them came for the same reason: to build a better life. From clearing trees, to planting crops, they worked dawn till dusk and wrestled a better life from the rich soil. Even though it was a

hard life, one simple concept was always

the other day, she told me about how she was

present – the strength of family. I spoke with a lady named Theresa

born on the floor of her family’s “cabin” at the foot of what is

now Clapperton Street. She is a fiercely proud woman who believes in her community, its values, and its connections to each other. We agree with her. At the North Shore BIA, we also applaud and support our surrounding community. We celebrate our ancestral roots, welcome our cultural diversity and always stay focused on our family, as diverse and multicultural as it is.

City targets recycling contamination rates JESSICA WALLACE

[video online]

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

In efforts to reduce contaminated recycling, the city has been targeting multi-family homes in Kamloops. “We are seeing improvements; however, they still need to be better,” said City of Kamloops environmental services manager Glen Farrow. Through Recycle BC, the city’s recycling is sent to global markets, which have restricted contamination rates to one-half per cent. While Farrow said recycling would ideally stay closer to home, he noted countries like China and India have greater demand for the materials, due to manufacturing for big box stores. In a worst-case scenario, the city could get kicked out of the Recycle BC program if residents continue to deposit contaminated recycling into their blue bins. While Kamloops is nowhere near that level — Farrow said the city’s relationship with Recycle BC is good — there is room for improvement. “Whatever we can do to strive to get down to that .5 per cent,” Farrow said. The city has in the past six months targeted multi-family dwellings, such as apartments and townhouses, in order to reduce its contamination rate. City staff have knocked on doors,

See how the Waste Wise app works at kamloopsthisweek.com painted dumpsters, improved signage and even simply moved bins, since people are more likely to deposit garbage into whichever dumpster is closest to them. Farrow said the focus stemmed from information from RecycleBC that indicated contamination has been significant in the multi-family sector. Kamloops is one of few communities that offers dumpsters for recycling, Farrow said, resulting in people leaving larger items like furniture. “There’s a greater probability of contamination,” Farrow said. Asked about the potential for a future commercial recycling program, Farrow said the city already accepts commercial cardboard. He said global markets create a challenge in collecting commercial paper and hard plastics. “There’s still a struggle globally for recycling,” Farrow said. “Thankfully, our residential product is accepted and handled through our RecycleBC contract.” The city’s Waste Wise app updates residents about new products that can be recycled via recycling depots.

MUSIC MADE IN B.C.

An effort to end the twice-yearly changing of the clocks in B.C. has been endorsed by the Union of BC Municipalities. The bid to end time changes in the spring and fall and have the province on a single time year-round has been the work of Kamloops residents Bob Dieno and Tara Holmes for the past few years. At last week’s UBCM convention in Whistler, delegates voted to discontinue the practise of falling back and springing forward, with the approved resolution stating “daylight savings time no longer serves a vital function in today’s connected economy.” The UBCM will now lobby the government to end time changes, though Victoria has thus far shown no sign it is ready to end the semi-annual ritual.

Kamloops’ mining resolution nixed JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C. communities will not get a say over mining projects within their jurisdiction. At its annual convention last week, the Union of BC Municipalities did not endorse a resolution to lobby the province

for communities to have official input on mining projects within 10 kilometres of their boundaries. The resolution stemmed from Kamloops city council, which sent the request to the UBCM, which met last week in Whistler. Kamloops Coun. Dieter Dudy first brought the idea forward at city hall following the rejection by the provincial government of the

proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. Dudy said he was disappointed with the UBCM vote. “I still think we need to have the right to determine what happens in our community,” Dudy told KTW. Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Mel Rothenburger — who represents an area north

and east of Kamloops, including Black Pines and Sun peaks — amended the resolution to include regional districts. Dudy said that amendment, coupled with time constraints for pitching the idea and one person calling the resolution “NIMBYism” led to its defeat in a vote Dudy said was fairly close. He said the resolution was

not a case of NIMBYism, arguing municipalities deserve to be included in a process that impacts them. The Ajax project required approval from both the provincial and federal governments to proceed. “I think you should also have the city saying yes or no,” Dudy said. “That’s just my feeling.”

No change to natural gas rates through 2018 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Natural gas prices will remain static for at least the next three months. FortisBC has received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) to maintain the cost of natural gas for its customers. As of Oct. 1, more than three-million FortisBC customers will see no change to the cost of natural gas on their bill. “Natural gas prices in our province continue to remain near their lowest levels in over a decade and our natural gas customers have not seen a rate increase in two years,” said Diane Roy, vice-president of regulatory affairs at FortisBC. “The preference for natural

gas is reflected by our continued customer growth.” Kamloops customers will continue to pay $1.549 per gigajoule (GJ). WHAT IS ON YOUR BILL? • Basic charge: The basic charge is a flat daily fee that partially recovers the fixed costs of the system, whether or not you are using any natural gas, as long as you are connected to the system. The basic charge is reviewed by the BCUC annually. • Delivery charge: The delivery charge is based on consumption and pays for the cost of delivering gas to homes and businesses.

The delivery charge also covers the costs of maintaining the natural gas distribution system, earn a return on the amounts invested in FortisBC and fund improvements. Delivery charges are reviewed by the BCUC annually. • Storage and transport: Storage and transport reflects the prices FortisBC pays to other companies to store and transport gas through their pipelines and infrastructure. These costs are reviewed quarterly and set annually by the BCUC. • Cost of gas: Every three months, FortisBC reviews natural gas and propane cost of gas rates with the BCUC to ensure rates passed on

to customers cover the cost of purchasing the gas on their behalf. Factors affecting the market price of natural gas and propane in North America include weather, supply and demand and economic conditions. Propane prices are also influenced by global oil markets. FortisBC does not mark up the cost of gas as customers pay what it pays. • Other charges and taxes: Other charges and taxes include the B.C. carbon tax, the clean energy levy, the GST and, in some municipalities, a municipal operating fee. These charges are set by various levels of government and collected by FortisBC on their behalf.

Begin With the End in Mind (One year later…) Last September, Christopher Seguin, a family friend and relentless community leader passed away. More importantly he was a loving son, husband and father of two young children. One year ago, I think most of us were in shock and disbelief. Christopher's passing has been a struggle for many of us because we cannot understand how a shining star was gone just before his 40th birthday. This tragedy has caused me to reflect. I am reminded of Stephen Covey’s principle “Begin with the end in mind”. Covey wrote the famous book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and he suggested readers complete a profound exercise. He asks them to envision themselves at their funeral. Who is attending and what would people say about you? What would you hope they were saying? How would your obituary read? Many of us have attended funerals and

celebration of life ceremonies. Being born and raised in Kamloops, I regularly read the obituary section. I have yet to see a tribute to how much money one made, saved or spent. If anything, the individual’s successes are briefly mentioned but the bulk of their life commemorates their passions: family, career, sport, friends, travel, philanthropy and all those that have been touched by their passing. Our father would often say "It is a shame that we wait until someone passes away before recognizing and saying so many kind things about them. If only they were here to see how much love they created and in return received." Some may be wondering what this column has to do with finance? I believe it has everything to do with it. Money is a tool, a conduit and medium of exchange. Personally, I like the quote from the Greek Philosopher, Epictetus, "Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants." We have the pleasure of working with affluent and high net worth families. Those that are the most "wealthy" in my eyes are those that seem the most content. For most, the value of

their portfolio does not guarantee nor assure fulfillment. It is often health, relationships, recreation and travel that elicit happiness. The most common goal I hear in my office is retirement, which is more of a stage of life that hopefully allows you to tackle your bucket list. Because life is short and fragile, we don’t all make it to retirement. Christopher’s passing, as well as, many others, is a cruel reminder that life isn’t fair and we should not wait to cross things off our bucket lists. So please…take that trip, learn to dance, practice piano, run a marathon, climb Kilimanjaro, give back to your community or just tell those that have touched you how much you love and appreciate them. Again, I want to thank Christopher and Melissa for all you have done and continue to do in our community. We continue to teach our kids that life is full of surprises, so follow your dreams, live for today, plan for tomorrow and give back. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

Some seniors might find they no longer qualify for a yard waste pickup program in Kamloops. Eligibility criteria has been narrowed to qualify for the program, which recently transferred from the City of Kamloops to Interior Community Services’ Better At

Home program. The city said while it operated the program for years, it is limited in its capacity to administer it properly. City of Kamloops acting social development supervisor Natalie Serl was unaware of details of the previous criteria. Those ages 65 and older with an income threshold of $25,000 for a single person or $38,000 for a couple are now eligible.

Serl said the process will be more streamlined to be able to better find those who don’t have the financial means to rid their yards of waste. Yard waste is picked up in the spring and fall and must be bagged, tied, bundled and accessible for collection. Seniors may qualify for that collection on Fridays through September and October. Asked whether some people will be left out based

on new eligibility requirements — those ages 64 and under who meet that threshold, for example — Serl didn’t know. “We might run into incidents for someone who has accessed that service before,” she said. Eligible seniors can register on Wednesday (1 p.m. to 3 p.m.) and Thursday (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) by calling 250-828-0600. For more information, go online to kamloops.ca/ seniorsyardwaste.

More talks on tap for Stuart Wood future The next steps for a proposed cultural centre at the former Stuart Wood elementary school downtown include more conversations with Tk’emlups te Secwepemc. The city has been consulting with Tk’emlups regarding the project and the city’s mayor and CAO toured Squamish’s Lil’wat Cultural Centre while in Whistler last week during the Union of BC Municipalities convention. CAO David Trawin said the facility welcomes visitors into its lobby with a short movie providing history about the First Nations. He said the centre also features a guided tour, an arts room where visitors can make birch bark bracelets and a store. “We’re trying to figure out if this is something we can look at,” Trawin said. Next steps include returning to the table with Tk’emlups, applying for access to the building, which is restricted via a covenant to educational opportunities, and seeking out potential grant funding. Talks won’t likely resume under after the Oct. 20 municipal election.

Still here after 46 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972. The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long. Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success". Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license. They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing. "After 46 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

Something fishy with the labelling in stores ALEKSANDRA SAGAN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

When consumers buy butterfish or white tuna at a grocery store, they may instead receive a fish dubbed “the laxative of the sea” because escolar can cause diarrhea, vomiting and other stomach problems. Nearly half of seafood samples tested at Canadian grocery stores and restaurants is wrongly labelled, according to an investigation into seafood fraud that claims such practices can harm consumer health and wallets, as well as hurt the environment. “The results show widespread mislabelling,” said Julia Levin, seafood fraud campaigner for advocacy group Oceana Canada, which conducted the study. It collected 382 samples of snapper, sea bass, sole and other fish that other studies indicate are often substituted. They chose samples from 177 retailers and restaurants in five Canadian cities. Scientists at laboratories at Tru-ID, a Guelph-based lab, used DNA barcoding to determine the species of fish. That was compared to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Fish List, which contains acceptable market names for various fish species. They found 44 per cent of the fish were not what the label claimed. Snapper, yellowtail and butterfish were mislabelled 100 per cent of the time, according to the study. Half of the seabass samples were wrongly identified, while more than 30 per cent of cod, halibut, tuna and sole samples were mislabelled. Most often the fish turned out to be escolar, tilapia or Japanese amberjack. The samples were mislabelled in restaurants 52 per cent of the time and 22 per cent of the time at retailers, including grocery stores and markets. The CFIA, which is responsible for mitigating food safety risks and monitors food fraud in the country, is reviewing the report, a spokesman wrote in an email. Previous studies have shown similar results. It’s been a problem in the industry “forever,” said Hana Nelson, a fishmonger with Halifax-based Afishionado, who was briefed on the study’s results before they were made public. She wants to believe the issue isn’t people acting maliciously,

Escolar or albacore? Can you tell the difference? WIKIPEDIA COMMONS PHOTO

but rather mostly accidental. “I’m not so pessimistic to think that a lot of people are doing it on purpose,” she said. “I think it’s just the nature of the supply chain. It’s really, it’s allowed for that lack of transparency.” Seafood is susceptible to food fraud because of a complicated global supply chain that has opportunities for mislabelling at many stages — from the fishing boat to the restaurant or store. While some mislabelling happens accidentally, Levin said, the majority appears to be deliberate. She stressed the restaurants or stores where the samples were collected are not necessarily the ones responsible for misguiding consumers and may instead by victims themselves. “Economic profit is the primary driver,” she said, noting the pattern is for more expensive fish, like red snapper, to be replaced with a cheaper alternative, like tilapia. Industry insiders often try to convince Robert Hanner, an associate professor at the University of Guelph whose lab tested the samples, that the problem amounts to no more than random mix ups — a confused employee laying out fish under an incorrect label. “If it were purely random, you would expect that once in a while you’d get the good stuff when you’re paying for the cheap stuff,” said Hanner, whose lab demonstrated the

first use of DNA barcoding to show seafood fraud in Canada about a decade ago. “There’s no evidence that that ever happens.” This means shoppers pay higher prices for lower value fish and may unknowingly consume harmful products, like escolar. People living with allergies are especially at risk, as they may eat something that could seriously harm or kill them. People may also mislabel seafood to mask illegally caught fish, Levin said. When this happens, it hampers efforts to curb overfishing and protect at-risk areas, among other things, according to the report, which adds illegal fishing is often linked to troubling practices like modern slavery and child labour. Oceana Canada wants the federal government to increase labelling requirements to match those in the European Union. In the EU, labels must show the fish’s scientific species name, catch method and origin — among other information. It also requires catch documentation. Studies show seafood fraud rates appear to have fallen since the union implemented the more stringent labelling practices. Oceana Canada wants what it calls “boat to plate” traceability. “We need Canada to implement a traceability system to keep everyone accountable,” Levin said.

Provincial Winter Fair. The event was held for years on what were the Kamloops Exhibition Association grounds in the Mount Paul Industrial Park before moving briefly to the North Thompson. It has been taking place at Circle Creek Ranch in Upper Sahali since 2016. In its early days, the fair was a venue for B.C. ranchers to show off their work and sell livestock. While those facets remain,

it has grown to become largely focused on 4-H and youth involvement in farming. “It first came up as open sin-

gles, so all the ranchers in the area could showcase their animals and sell them to feed people in the community,” Arduini said.

“Now there’s 4-H and open singles.” 4-H means farming youth between the ages of nine and 21, not necessarily affiliated with a club. Open singles are any ranchers ages 21 and up. Arduini said he is expecting 4-H members and ranchers from across B.C.’s Interior. “This year, we’ve got about 100 4-H members and probably 30 open singles,” he said. “Animal-wise, the sheep division is about 182 to 185, in that neighbourhood, beef are probably 32 to 34, there are five dogs, probably 10 horses, poultry and a goat division.” But it’s not just about animals, Arduini said. “There’s a craft division where

people will do whatever knitting or sewing, any type of craft they can think of, and then come to display it,” he said. “And these are kids. 4-H is not just animals. It’s to learn to do by doing — that’s their motto.” The Provincial Winter Fair runs Friday through Monday at Circle Creek Ranch. Friday is Kids’ Day, Arduini said, but will include some lamb judging. Other divisions will be judged on Saturday and Sunday, with sales on Monday. A Kids’ Zone, featuring facepainting, entertainment and a climbing wall, is slated to run throughout the event. Other events include music and entertainment on the Forward Law Main Stage, wine pairings and seniors’ tea on Sunday. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for seniors. Kids under nine are free.

Kidney Walk this Sunday honours Lyle Roberts KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Organizers of the 2018 Kamloops Kidney Walk have selected Lyle Roberts as the honouree of the event, which will take place this Sunday. Each year, organizers of the Kamloops walk honour someone who has been involved in the fight against kidney disease and the promotion of organ donation. Roberts, 73, spent most of his life in Salmon Arm, but now lives in Kamloops. He has kidney disease and does hemodialysis three times a week. In addition to kidney disease, Roberts also has experienced heart problems, having undergone six bypass surgeries. But the health issues haven’t slowed him down. When he isn’t on dialysis, Roberts volunteers at Royal Inland Hospital, is active with his church and has coffee with friends. He also volunteers annually on World Kidney Day and spends one Sunday per month with friends in Salmon Arm, where he spent 40 years in transportation and also trained firefighters. People who know Roberts say he has an amazing attitude despite his health-related issues and that he has real compassion for his fellow renal patients. In the region served by Royal Inland Hospital, there are 1,346 kidney patients being monitored by nephrologists. Of those, 1,090 have chronic kidney disease, but are not on dialysis. There are 93 patients doing hemodialysis in a clinic, 28 doing peritoneal dialysis at home, and five on home hemodialysis. There are about 100 patients on the

transplant waiting list, while 130 have received transplants. The 2018 Kamloops Kidney Walk, which is in support of kidney transplantation and organ donation, is scheduled for McDonald Park on the North Shore. Registration is at 10 a.m., with the walk starting at 11 a.m. The walk will follow the Rivers Trail from McDonald Park to the entrance to McArthur Island. After the walk, the Brock Central Lions Club will have pancakes and sausages available, along with coffee, all by donation. As well, this Sunday (Sept. 23) marks the fifth anniversary of Dorothy Drinnan’s kidney transplant and that milestone will be celebrated with cake. Drinnan was a co-honouree of the 2016 Kamloops Kidney Walk and is a co-founder of the Kamloops Kidney Support Group. A silent auction will be held as part of the walk, with items available on site. The Kidney Walk raises funds for programs and services to support patients. When a transplant comes available, patients must spend a minimum of six weeks in Vancouver. To donate to a team or an individual, go online to kidneywalkbc. ca. The 2017 Kamloops Kidney Walk raised $16,736.

NEW-LOOK BROWN RINK OFF TO GOLDEN START MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Corryn Brown and rink put the B.C. Women’s Curling Tour on notice on the weekend in Maple Ridge. The Kamloops Curling Centre quartet of skip Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Dezaray Hawes and lead Ashley Klymchuk won the tour’s opening event, knocking off Diane Gushulak of New Westminster 6-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Golden Ears Winter Club to claim the King Cash Spiel title. Team Brown was named Curl BC’s adult team of the year for 2017-2018, earning the nod with bronze in its first appearance at the B.C. Scotties, gold at the Western Canadian University Curling Championships and silver at the U Sports Championships. Lead Sam Fisher left a big hole when she stepped away from the team after the campaign, opting to focus on studying respiratory therapy at TRU. Klymchuk was quickly added to the roster. The new combination had little ice time with which to practise before stop No. 1, about three-and-a-half hours in Maple Ridge the weekend before the King Cash Spiel. “We had a good rhythm going out there,” Brown told KTW on Monday. “It was very positive and everyone was shooting really well considering we haven’t had much practice ice.” Pincott and Brown made key shots to set up a steal of

two in the eighth end of the final on Sunday. Gushulak’s last rock was off target, sealing the win for the Kamloops rink. The victory brought with it valuable B.C. tour and Canadian Team Ranking System points. There are three automatic qualifying berths available for the 2019 B.C. Scotties, the women’s provincial championship that will run from Jan. 29 to Feb. 3 in Quesnel — one for the B.C. rink with the most CTRS points and two for the top-two finishers on the B.C. circuit.

Four stops remain on the B.C. tour — the Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic, which runs from Sept. 27 to Sept. 30 in Vernon; the Driving Force Abbotsford Cashspiel, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 14; the Kamloops Crown of Curling, from Oct. 26 to Oct. 28; and Raymond James Kelowna Double Cash, from Nov. 2 to Nov. 4. The team is also aiming to rack up points this season that will help it qualify to compete in tier 2 women’s Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge events. “It’s definitely not in the cards this year, but if we gain quite a few points this year, it could be something we’d be able to qualify for next year,” Brown said. The next step up from there is locking horns with the Rachel Homans and Jennifer Jones of the curling world in tier 1 slam events. Brown plans to compete at two out-of-province spiels this season — the Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic, which runs from Oct. 5 to Oct. 8 at the Calgary Curling Club, and the Red Deer Curling Classic, which gets underway on Nov. 16. The $4,000 pay day that came along with victory on the weekend will help with travel costs. “You’re not worrying so much about making ends meet,” Brown said. “To get the win with a new combination was really great.” The Karla Thompson Vancouver/Kamloops was rink also in action in Maple Ridge on the weekend, recording a 2-2 record in round-robin play and failing to reach the playoffs.

OSMOND TALKS ON SKATING FUTURE MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kaetlyn Osmond is not closing any doors. The 22-year-old reigning women’s world figure skating champion is about to embark on a performance season and has made no commitment to return to the competitive scene. “That’s the point of me taking this year, is to be able to enjoy a different side of things and not think too much ahead about the future,” said Osmond, who was in between teaching Kamloops Skating Club seminars on McArthur Island on Saturday when she spoke to KTW. “I started competing because I wanted to be a part of shows. This year, I finally have that opportunity. I can do more shows, bigger shows, and for a long period of time.” Osmond is amped to begin the Thank You Canada Tour, which begins at Abbotsford Centre on Oct. 5. She will travel across the country with fellow Canadian figure skating icons Tessa Virtue, Scott Moir, Patrick Chan, Megan Duhamel, Eric Radford, Elvis Stojko, Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje. The prospect of driving across the Great White North (the 28-stop tour ends on Nov. 24 in St. John’s), performing at intimate venues and

enjoying the experience with friends is a welcome change from what has been a gruelling four years. And that — mental exhaustion — is why Osmond is on competitive hiatus. Four years ago, seven months removed from her Olympic debut in Sochi, Osmond broke her right fibula while training in Edmonton. It took two years to recover physically and believe in herself again. “I had to come back from a broken leg and then I had a year of upset at competition,” she said. “But by the time the Olympics came around, I was in the best shape I’ve ever been in, the most fit I’ve ever been and the most ready I’ve ever been for a competition.” She snared a bronze medal in women’s singles in Pyeongchang in February and helped her country earn gold in the team event, extinguishing any remaining self-doubt and reaching a lifelong goal. But it came at a price. “You have an emotional roller coaster [at the Olympics] from being super high to super down and then there is what a lot of people call an Olympic hangover,” said Osmond, who won silver in women’s singles at worlds in 2017 and silver in the team event in Sochi in 2014. “I definitely felt that when I got home, but I had to prepare for a world

championship that was just a month later.” Osmond’s coach, Ravi Walia, watched her struggle to train in the aftermath of South Korea — dog-tired, weary, spent, but still determined. “She had a real tough time training for worlds,” Walia said, noting many of her Canadian Olympic teammates opted out of the world championships, which were held in Milan, Italy, in March. “I’m glad that she went. She was so exhausted, but now she’s a world champion.” Osmond became the first Canadian woman to win the women’s singles crown at worlds since 1973, when Karen Magnussen accomplished the feat. The Black Swan routine that lifted the Marystown, N.L., product to the podium was immaculate. For now, her competitive wings are clipped. Eyebrows raised in June when Osmond announced she would sit out the ISU Grand Prix circuit to begin the 2018-2019 campaign. Two months later, news surfaced of her decision to take the whole year off. Chan, Moir and Virtue are among those who counselled Osmond when she was deciding whether it was smart to take a break from the competitive circuit — only 22, in her prime and on top of the world. See COACH, A41

Kaetlyn Osmond is focused on doing what she loves — performing for people. A decision can wait on her return to the competitive figure skating scene. Read about Osmond’s visit to the Kamloops Skating Club in KTW on Friday. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

tampering charges. Two tampering charges, which came with a $10,000 team fine and a one-year suspension for owner Barry Dewar, were levied in July after BC Hockey determined

Dewar was involved in improperly attempting to recruit two players who were carded with another KIJHL team. Each tampering charge was accompanied by a 10-game suspension for the team’s head coach. Kamloops is appealing the decision. The Storm appointed Johnathan Dewar, Barry’s son, head coach to incur the 20-game suspension so Sangha was not punished. On Sunday, the 100 Mile House Wranglers will visit Kamloops to play the Storm. Game time is 5 p.m. at Memorial Arena.

Pre-season records mean very little, but winning more than losing is rarely a bad thing. And if there are rumblings across the WHL of a surprise season brewing for the Kamloops Blazers, who finished the pre-season slate with a 4-1 mark, then general manager Matt Bardsley is happy to hear it. Although he isn’t quite sure about the surprise part. “I guess I’m not surprised by maybe what people are saying,” Bardsley said, noting he likes the balance of size, speed and skill in his lineup. “I expect us to be competitive every game and I think we will be.” Bardsley has taken notice of his team’s resiliency in the preseason, referencing for example the 5-3 victory over the hometown Kelowna Rockets on Sept. 8. “We were up 2-0, then they took the lead and we came back to tie it up and scored the game-winner shorthanded with a minute left,” Bardsley said. “And there have been some games where we were down a couple of goals and we’ve came back. “We don’t get too high or low.” The Blazers and Rockets will square off at Sandman Centre Centre on Friday, the first regular-season contest for both teams. Game time is 7 p.m. Kelowna will play host to the rematch on Saturday. Bardsley’s assessment of his team included praise of its depth. “It seems like our coaches have trust in the players, that guys can play within the lineup at different positions and with different lines,” he said. “I’ve been happy with that. There are interchangeable parts there.” The Blazers plan to

carry two goaltenders. Four remain on the roster. Dylan Ferguson, who turns 20 on Thursday, will be the Blazers’ starting netminder if the Vegas Golden Knights send him back to Kamloops. He made 25 saves — including one penaltyshot stop on Vinnie Hinostroza — for hometown Vegas in a 7-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes in pre-season NHL play on Sunday. Goaltenders Max Palaga, 18, Rayce Ramsay, 17, and Dylan Garand, 16, are vying for a roster spot and making the Blazers’ decision a tough one. “We don’t really want to make any decisions until we know for sure what’s happening with Dylan,” Bardsley said. Overage forward Jermaine Loewen was drafted by the Dallas Stars in the summer and was invited to their training camp. He is still with the NHL club, but was not in the lineup for an exhibition game against visiting St. Louis on Tuesday. Montana Onyebuchi, an 18-year-old defenceman, was invited to the Tampa Bay Lightning’s camp on a free-agent tryout and remains there. “If they’re going to get an extended look, it’s really good for them and, in the end, it’s good for us,” Bardsley said, noting he expects to hear more this week on the timeline for their return. Sean Strange was invited to the Colorado Avalanche’s training camp on a free-agent tryout. The 18-year-old defenceman is back in Kamloops. “I’ve always felt exhibition is about evaluating your lineup,” Bardsley said. “It’s certainly nice to go 4-1, but it’s still about evaluating. “We do have a good blend of everything, but it’s still a work in progress and it’s about understanding our group.”

SPORTS COACH WALIA SAYS OSMOND CAN BE HAPPY WITH ACCOMPLISHMENTS IF COMPETITIVE CAREER IS OVER From A37

They are educated on the matter, each having taken a year off after the Sochi Games in 2014. “We travelled for Stars on Ice together,” Osmond said. “It was a perfect time then for me to talk and get their opinions and see how much it benefited them and how hard it was to come back from it. Ultimately, it was my decision.” More shows and seminars mean more money. Nobody can fault an Olympic athlete who wants to capitalize on their fame. Many spend years training and living on a razor-thin budget. Some are never compensated fairly — see Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops. In 2015, he was retroactively awarded a bronze medal in shot put from the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing after Andrei Mikhnevich of Belarus was caught for

RAVI WALIA doping and stripped of his medal. The recognition was great, but the window was all but closed for major sponsorship, speaking engagements and other money-making events. Osmond said finances had little to do with her decision, noting figure skaters can do shows during and after their competitive careers. “And, personal-life wise, I think I’m actually travelling more for these shows than I would for competition,” said Osmond, who lives with her family in Edmonton. “Mentally and physically, I wanted the time to be able to do something

else and try something new.” Walia, entering his 14th season as Osmond’s coach, said the year off will give his pupil time to recharge, a recovery stint that will bode well if a return to the competitive circuit materializes. And what if it doesn’t? “I don’t think there is a bad decision,” Walia said. “If she decides she loves it [more freedom, performing at shows] so much and wants to stick with that, that’s great. “She’s already done so much and accomplished all of her goals. Whatever happens, it’s exciting either way.”

Here’s how to get your kids to exercise

xercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. That’s not just true for adults, but for children and teenagers as well. Parents concerned about their kids living seden-

tary lives may have more to worry about than they know. According to a 2017 study published in Preventive Medicine that analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination

survey from 2003-2004 and 2005-2006, 19-year-olds spent as much time being inactive and sedentary as do 60-year-olds. Getting kids to be more active may be especially difficult for today’s parents, who must contend with the internet, social media, tablets, smartphones and other distractions as they try to encourage their kids to unplug and spend more time being physically active. But parents can try various strategies to get kids off the couch and exercising: • Set a positive example. Kids, especially young children, often try to emulate their parents. Parents can capitalize on kids’ desire to be like mom and dad by exercising in front of their children. Young children may not be ready to lift weights or run on the treadmill, but parents can embrace kidfriendly exercises, such as walking and cycling. Invite kids along for daily bike rides or go for family walks around the neighbourhood after dinner. • Park the car. Kids don’t need to know they’re exercising in order to be more physically active. In lieu of driving to the

bank or pharmacy, parents can leave the car at home and ride their bikes alongside their children when running errands. If possible, parents can walk youngsters to and from school rather than driving them. • Choose friend-friendly activities. Adults employ the buddy system as a means to motivate themselves to keep exercising and that same principle can apply to children,

who might be more excited about physical activity if their friends are joining them. Team sports provide chances to exercise with friends, as do various community organizations. But even inviting a child’s friend along on a family hike or bike ride may make such activities more fun for kids. • Give gifts that encourage physical activity. Kids might want the latest device or video game for their birthdays, but par-

ents also can give gifts that encourage youngsters to be physically active. Bicycles, inline skates, ice skates and sports equipment are just a handful of potential gifts that may compel kids to exercise more. Childhood obesity is a significant problem. Getting kids off the couch and exercising more often can help reduce those figures and ensure healthier futures for kids of all ages.

CHECK OUT THE GUIDE If you are looking for activities as the school year begins, the 2018 City of Kamloops Fall Activity Guide is the publication to pick up. Distributed in the Aug. 17 edition of Kamloops This Week and available at the Tournament Capital Centre, the guide offers page after page of indoor and outdoor activities. From sports to crafts to learning languages, the guide is the go-to source for kids and adults alike. The guide is distributed by KTW and the city twice per year — in the fall and in the spring.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

SEPTEMBER 19 - SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 LIBRA

- Sept 23/Oct 23 You are naturally trusting of others, Libra. But keep a small amount of skepticism going so that no one takes advantage of you. Once you vet friends, keep them close.

You have a trustworthy circle of friends, Cancer. If the going gets a little tricky this week, call upon the people who just can’t wait to support you.

Aries, things that may have confounded you in the past will be much clearer this week. Someone comes into your life and will explain what you need to know.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Conversations with friends the next few days prove to be a great mood-lifter, Taurus. Things in your life will continue in a positive direction for some time afterwards.

SCORPIO

- Oct 24/Nov 22 Spending too much time worrying about what others are doing or what they think of you is not productive, Scorpio. Focus on what makes you happy and don’t worry about others.

Let supervisors know just how much you have been contributing at work and how it has been beneficial to their bottom line. This can be the doorway to a pay increase, Leo.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, even though work life and home life are separate, there are some instances when they might overlap. Use this time wisely to build deep relationships.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Virgo, do not feel like you have to change much about yourself to fit the mold others have created. It is okay to be unique and be proud of your differences.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 It is okay to seek perfection, Capricorn, but not when others are helping out. Be grateful of all they have to offer, even if you may need to fix something along the way.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you must follow through when you say you are going to do something this week. If not, others may associate you with empty promises, and that reputation is not easily remedied.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Fortunata Spina Fortunata Spina, mother of Maria (Joe) Presta, Franca (Dave) Boechler and Ross (Marg) Spina passed away peacefully on September 14, 2018 at the age of 92 at Ridgeview Lodge. Much loved grandmother and nanna of Emilio Falsetta (Ornella), Peter Spina (Joanne), Ross Presta (Tanya), Paula Presta, Christina Clow (Riley) and Vincent Spina, and step-granddaughters Yvonne Duffus (Gordon), Laurieann Smith and their families, great-grandmother to Joseph, Matthew, Daniela, Andrew, Luca, Alex and Emily. She was predeceased by her loving husband Vincenzo (2013) and daughter-inlaw Marg (2017). She was also predeceased by parents Francesco and Peppina Marrello, cherished sister Fenice Spina and greatgranddaughters Baylie and Isabella Presta. She is survived by her only brother Davide Marrelli, her sister-in-law Esterina Giardullo and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Mom was an exceptional mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and a wonderful, kind hearted and gentle human being. Her children and extended family are grateful to have enjoyed her loving presence for 92 years and that they were able to tell her often how much they loved her. This special woman left her family and friends with a smile on her face and fulfillment in her heart. Fortunata means good fortune in Italian, and mom reminded us often about her good fortune in having a loving husband

(Vincenzo) for 67 years and three “tesori” (treasures), Maria, Franca and Ross, whom she adored and who blessed her with six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Through the gifts of kindness, caring, integrity, optimism, faith and constant love Fortunata shaped the lives of her children, extended family and all with whom she came in contact with. She made all who knew her feel special; for that she was greatly respected and loved by many. Fortunata taught her children many life lessons, including the values of hard work, a positive attitude and honesty at all times. Fortunata was a bright and multi-talented person. Growing up her children were always amazed with her ability to do math in her head. She often corrected store cashiers (pre-computerized cash register days) if the wrong change was returned to her. She was an outstanding cook as can be attested by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their friends. She could cook up a superb tasting lunch or dinner at a moment’s notice. Family and friends have many fond memories of the many delectable dishes she prepared. Fortunata was an excellent seamstress and was often called upon by family, friends and neighbors to shorten slacks, fix dresses, expand waist sizes of pants and replace broken zippers. She never took payment for the work she did. Despite not having the ability to read in English, Fortunata showed her talents by knitting beautifully designed wool sweaters and blankets for her children and grandchildren. She looked at the design in the instruction manual and figured it out.

She placed great value in her Catholic faith. Fortunata loved the rosary and her prayer book and despite her dementia over the last several months, she was still able to recite her prayers by heart. She often reminded her children of the power of prayer and faith and that one should never lose hope. There are many other good things and stories that could be said about Fortunata, suffice it is to say that her family and friends were blessed to have such a great role model and extraordinary woman in their lives. The family extends our deep appreciation to Dr. Wynne and the caring and dedicated staff at Ridgeview. The Reverend Father Paul Simms will celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, September 21, 2018 at 11:00 am at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. Entombment will follow at Evergreen Mausoleum. Should family and friends desire, donations in her memory can be made to the Vincent Spina Scholarship Fund or the Marg Spina Community Enhancement Fund through the BC Interior Community Foundation at #2 - 219 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC or through the Foundation’s website https://www.bcicf.ca Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

It is with immense sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of Nick, who was taken from us far too soon, on Sunday, July 29, 2018. Nick grew up in the community of Rayleigh, attending elementary school there and high school at Norkam Secondary. He then carried on his studies at UBCO in engineering. He had a love for life and never wanted to waste a second. Summers were spent with his family at East Barriere Lake or playing softball, and winters snowboarding at Sun Peaks. He was also unfairly skilled at outdoor activities and spent leisure time golfing, fishing, downhill biking and dirt biking, sledding, hiking and being out on the water wakeboarding and surfing. With his love for photography Nick captured the people around him and saw the beauty in nature, where he liked to spend as much time as possible. Nick’s proudest accomplishments were obtaining a degree in civil engineering, receiving his pilot’s licence, starting a company with his brother, Justin, and marrying the love of his life, Michelle. Nick loved deeply and had endless patience. He was so generous in nature, enjoyed spending time with family and friends and was supportive to those who were close to him. He met his wife in 2008 and they spent the following years enjoying many adventures together, including travelling the world, diving the great barrier reef, jumping from the world’s second highest bungee and most recently building a home. He was a kind and loving husband, son, brother and friend. Nick is and will always be greatly missed by his wife, Michelle Strate; parents, Bob and Sandy Strate; brother Justin (Stephanie) Strate; and the Strate, Drummond and Blackburn families. Nick’s Celebration of Life will be held in the Ballroom at the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel at 2pm on Saturday, September 22, 2018.

She was a cook at the Kiwanis House for several years and after meeting Wilf, they bought a flooring business until they sold that and started an assisted living facility in their home. Mom and Wilf took in many seniors over the years giving them a caring and nurturing home. When she and Wilf retired, they bought a motorhome and took to travelling. They spent several winters as snowbirds down south. She loved travelling, camping, playing cards, sewing and mom made many beautiful stained-glass windows. Mom was a warm, funny, giving and very sweet person who was happiest when surrounded by family. She loved to play euchre with us kids and her grandkids. She looked forward to her visits from home care where she always had a lending ear. As per Mom’s request there will be no service, but a family celebration will be determined at a later date.

I feel a warmth around me, like your presence is so near. And I close my eyes to visualize your face when you were here.

Love Always, Diane

provide in-home Stanley Wayne Johnsen gemtns personally

Proud to provide you with a different approach to funeral and cremation.

December 2, 1955 - September 8, 2018

It is with such deep sorrow that we announce the all too soon passing of our beloved Stan. Survived by and left to cherish his memory is his wife Vanessa, their fur babies Ben and Koby, his sisters and brothers-in-law Cathy and Mark, Jackie and Jim, Lois and Scott and Sharon, nieces and nephews Nicole, Randy, Braxton, Trenton, Michael, Kandy, Kaitlyn, Tara, Greg, Abbigail, Tyler, Allison, Kelly, Winston, Stacey, Brandon, Chase, Paula, Colton and Ryland. Stan’s memories will also be cherished by his lifelong best friends and brothers Jim Galati and Jim Stewart (Neuf), previous wife Rose and step-sons Rodney and Brandon. Stan had an incredible work ethic and will bes missed by Roy, Avi, Barry, Glen and all of his union brothers at Highland Valley Copper. “We all thought we had more time.” Born and raised in the Lower Mainland, Stan loved his family and friends and shared his love for camping, fishing and hunting with them. Stan touched so many people’s lives with his genuine smile, kind and gentle nature and pure spirit. He met his challenges with courage, dignity and grace. Although too soon, Stan left the world a better place, simply by being it and now he is at peace and reunited with his loving parents Jack and Lilian. A heartfelt and sincere thanks to all of the first responders, paramedics, coroner and Tracy and Taylor, my angels from victim services, thank you for the love. The staff at Schoening Funeral Home, for taking such kind care of our Stan. Thank you all, the unsung heroes that work tirelessly to help us all. Rest in Peace and Heavenly Glory my darling husband, “daddy”, brother, son, cousin, uncle, nephew and loyal friend. You are loved by so many and will live forever in all of us. Until we are together again, we love you.

“ANOTHER ANGEL JUST GOT HIS WINGS.” No service by request. For those who wish to honour Stan, donations can be made to The A.L.S. Society of BC. Thank You

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

We will deﬁnitely use her again and we encourage others to hire her as well!“ – Ellysa Kayer

If you have any real estate related questions, please feel free to contact me anytime. I would love the opportunity to work with you.

MONSON

I’m happy to say Kamloops is my home. This is a city with spirit and heartbeat!

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.

Prior to getting into real estate, I owned and managed a successful business here for 20 years which taught me the importance of hard work, customer service and attention to detail. As a realtor, my clients are very important to me and I take seriously the level of confidence, professionalism and loyalty they come to expect and deserve. Buying or selling, I will provide you with service above and beyond your expectations, negotiating the best deal possible on your behalf, while making the process as seamless as possible.
