Kammuters take note: West Vic project begins KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The city is asking motorists to be patient, slow down and follow traffic signs and personnel as the reconstruction of West Victoria Street has begun. The $13-million project, which could last to two years, will see replacement of underground utilities, road rehabilitation, pedestrian and lighting improvements and landscaping. The multi-phase project began at the east end of the corridor, near First Avenue. On Monday morning, traffic from the North Shore was backed up on Overlanders Bridge as commuters travelled south over the Thompson River. Traffic from downtown heading west on West Victoria Street appeared to be moving without delays. While vehicular access to local businesses has been maintained on the First Avenue block, commuters are being rerouted through West Seymour Street. That three-lane road is traditionally one-way heading east, but has temporarily been changed to allow traffic to flow in both directions, with one lane travelling west. The speed limit in the area has been reduced to 30 km/h. “We’re asking motorists to use

the zipper merge when approaching the construction zone. Drivers are encouraged to use both lanes until the point of merge and then to take turns to ease safely and smoothly into the remaining lane,” city capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said. “By maximizing the full use of two lanes until the point of merge, congestion can be reduced and help keep traffic flowing.” Construction will take place Mondays to Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with weekend and night work also possible. One lane will be maintained in each direction throughout the construction zone. Transit and emergency vehicles will be given priority access from Second Avenue through the construction zone.

Valleyview will undergo $34.5-million expansion SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Valleyview secondary will soon say goodbye to the nine portables it has relied on for years. The school is currently at 140 per cent of its capacity, with 942 students filling space meant for 675. Minister of Education Rob Fleming was at the school on Friday afternoon to announce the facility will soon expand to house 1,200 students, with a $34.5 million project to create the new space. That additional space includes new classrooms, a new 9,700-square-foot gym, social and eating space and a new sports field. There are also plans for improved pick-up and drop-off areas to keep traffic flowing, as well as room for further expansion in the future. The province will contribute $32.7 million, while the KamloopsThompson school district will fund the remainder — $1.75 million. The school is the largest in the district. It opened in 1969 and will

celebrate its 50th anniversary in September — the same month Fleming said construction is set to start on the project. The school was previously expanded in 1972, 1994 and 2001. “We have not lost any time getting to this,” Fleming said, laying out the government’s actions since it came to power nearly two years ago. “I looked at the books in terms of the capital plan and there was nothing referred, in either the three- or 10-year plan, to Valleyview secondary — and it had become the district’s No. 1 priority. It was nowhere under the previous administration,” Fleming said. The expansion project is expected to be completed in time for the 2022-2023 school year. Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Alison Sidow said she felt overjoyed for the project to finally be approved. “We’ve worked long and hard to bring this to the attention of the provincial government,” she said. But that work isn’t over. “We’re not out of the woods yet, but we’re on our way,” Sidow said.

Fleming was at the school to confirm a muchneeded expansion has been approved. The school was built to accommodate 675 students and now has an enrolment of 942 teens, many of whom learn in the nine portables on campus.

The superintendent said the district has no secondary space on the South Shore, which might necessitate additions to schools like Sa-Hali secondary. But there is also pressure in Pineview and Batchelor Heights. “Westmount is well known to be a school that is over capacity,” she said. For a time, Sidow said, the district felt like it was not being heard with regard to its capital needs — in part, she said, because enrolment declined for so many years. She wouldn’t say what the next capital project would be, with the school board set to make that decision after it meets with the city later in the spring. The district has another opportunity this June to submit additional capital requests. Priorities include an addition at Westmount elementary (estimated cost of $8 million), a new school in the Pineview Valley area (estimated cost of $18 million), a new gym and more classrooms at South Kamloops secondary (estimated cost of $20 million) and a new K-12 school in Sun Peaks.

Kamloops Mounties arrested a suspect believed to have robbed four convenience stores during a 30-hour knife-wielding crime blitz on Sunday night and Monday morning. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the suspect was arrested without incident in the Batchelor Heights area following the fourth robbery — a 9:50 a.m. heist on Monday at the Parkcrest Neighbourhood Store at Parkcrest Avenue and Windbreak Street in Brocklehurst. Shelkie said a containment area was set up and the suspect and his vehicle were found in Batchelor Heights. A 44-year-old man was arrested and a knife was found in the vehicle. Shelkie said the man arrested was previously known to police. Charges are pending. Police said this suspect matched the description of a man wanted for robbing three other convenience stores in the past 30 hours — the Cornerstone Market at Halston Avenue and 12th Street at 3:50 a.m. on Monday, the Halston Esso at 1271 Salish Rd. on the Tk’emlups reserve at 1:30 a.m. on Monday and the Mac’s convenience store in the 200-block of Tranquille Road at 6:20 a.m. on Sunday. During the robberies, a man entered the stores brandishing a large knife and demanding money from the clerks on duty. Cash was taken, but no one was hurt.

Police probe report of armed robbery at TRU KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are investigating an alleged armed robbery of a person on the campus of Thompson Rivers University, the second reported mugging on campus in the past month. Sgt. Brandon Buliziuk said police were called after a man said he was robbed at gunpoint by three men while walking in the area of University Drive and College Drive at about 1 a.m. on Sunday. Buliziuk said the victim told police the three assailants demanded that he hand over personal items and said one of the trio was carrying a small black pistol. Buliziuk said the victim was not injured during the mugging. The incident led to a large number of

armed Mounties patrolling the university area Sunday morning. The three suspects are all white and in their mid-20s. They were wearing black clothing and last seen on foot in a northerly direction along the Summit Connector. “Situations such as this remind us of the rare, however, real possibility of being the victim of this type of crime,” Buliziuk said. “In this case, the victim handed his property over as directed and was not harmed. The property we own is most often replaceable. “Our well-being and personal safety should remain the priority.” The mugging follows a report of a robbery on the TRU campus on March 11. On that day, police were called at 2:40

p.m. after a man walking near Wolfpack Road and College Drive said he was robbed by a knife-wielding suspect. The victim, who was not injured, told police the robber demanded his wallet, then escaped toward Summit Drive. Shelkie said the wallet was found on campus 30 minutes later and turned in to security. Some cash was missing from the wallet, but all other items remained. The suspect in that case is a man in his mid-20s, standing six feet tall and wearing a grey hoodie and jeans. He was carrying a leather, striped backpack. Anybody with information on either incident is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Woman suing church takes back request for office search MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A request to search the offices of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Kamloops has been withdrawn by a former elementary schoolteacher suing the church and a retired priest. Rosemary Anderson has filed a notice of claim in B.C. Supreme Court, claiming sexual abuse at the hands of Father Lindo Molon and an alleged coverup by thenbishop Adam Exner while she taught at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in North Kamloops four decades ago. On Feb. 27, Anderson filed a notice of application in B.C. Supreme Court, asking for an order to search the offices, stating “there is a real concern that material documents exist that have not been appropriately searched for, disclosed or explained.” A written response from the bishop of the Kamloops Diocese contends the order is unnecessary, noting church officials “searched everywhere there is to search at its offices and within its possession” and disclosed all documents to the plaintiff as required by the rules of the court. “If there are ‘incriminating documents’ within the possession of the bishop, such items have now been identified, listed and produced,” the response reads. “There is no evidence of the ‘possibility that the defendant may destroy such materials before the discovery process can do its work’ and, beyond that, documents were produced and Adam Exner was examined under oath on documents relevant to the inter-relationship of all the parties.” The response states that even if more

documents existed and were in the bishop’s possession, the plaintiff does not require them to make her case, which will be proven, or not, by the quality of evidence already gathered — the documents produced by the bishop to date, her own evidence and the Aug. 14, 2018, evidence given by now Archbishop Emeritus Exner. “The facts are the defendant, Molon, operated as a priest in the Diocese of Kamloops and he apparently had a personal relationship with the plaintiff,” the court document reads. Anderson’s lawyer, Sandra Kovacs, told KTW they adjourned the application in light of the thorough response from the diocese. “We still don’t have all the answers Ms. Anderson is looking for, but we’re simply exploring a different process of getting those answers,” Kovacs said. She said the challenge in such cases is that often documentation is sometimes missing or sparse. “We’re not suggesting that that’s intentional on the [part] of the diocese, but Ms. Anderson’s goal is to discover the truth and the whole truth. That is part of her journey for justice,” Kovacs said. In her claim, Anderson describes being vulnerable when she began teaching at the North Shore school in 1976, having gone to Molon, her superior at the school, for help after the death of her father. “Commencing in or around September 1976 and continuing for approximately eight months, Father Molon — approximately 20 years older than the plaintiff and in a position of superior spiritual, religious, moral and vocational power and/or authority — exploited the plaintiff and repeatedly performed sexual acts

upon the plaintiff innumerable times, including intercourse,” the document reads. Anderson claims in the document to have reported the incidents in the spring of 1977 to Exner, then the bishop of the Kamloops diocese, after which Molon was transferred to an Ontario parish. The claim also states Anderson was ordered to leave the Kamloops diocese “by the close of the school year, under threat of slander and/or harassment by the OLPH education committee.” In the document, Anderson claims to have suffered a loss of potential earnings. She is also seeking aggravated damages, punitive damages and special damages. “The defendant, Father Molon, exploited the plaintiff’s vulnerability, religious devotion and obedience to manipulate her into submitting to the sexual assaults,” the claim reads, also accusing Exner of wrongdoing. “The bishop intimidated the plaintiff and demanded that she leave the diocese under threat of slander and harassment by the education committee that governed the plaintiff’s employer, the OLPH elementary school.” In June 2017, Exner responded to the civil claim, denying liability. None of the allegations raised have been proven in court. An Oct. 7 court date has been set for the civil trial.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul member Don Cameron will be among those taking part in this year’s Way of the Cross walk on Good Friday. The one-kilometre, 90-minute journey will begin at 10 a.m. outside the ASK Wellness Society, at 433 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops. From there, a large cross will be carried north on Tranquille, with participants stopping at 12 community agencies. At each stop, participants will read from the Bible passages about Jesus’ journey from the Garden of Gethsemane to his crucifixion on Golgotha. The walk will conclude with refreshments at 168 Briar Ave., home of the St. Vincent de Paul charity, where breakfasts are served three times per week.

More criticism for busker licence plan The head of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association says he will be meeting with the city and is “disappointed” to first hear about a proposed street performer policy, which would impact the area, through the media. “It’s unfortunate that the city didn’t take the time to engage with the stakeholders, as they should have,” KCBIA executive director Carl DeSantis said. The city has come under fire from artists for a proposed street performer policy, which would require anyone wishing to perform on city streets or parks to have a permit at a cost of $40, including a mandatory membership

to the Kamloops Arts Council. “The problem that we struggle with downtown is the requirement to regulate anybody to perform on the streets,” DeSantis said. “We’re looking to have a vibrant downtown and animated downtown and the feedback we continually get from businesses, from visitors, from tourists, is that people don’t really appreciate being approached by individuals asking for money. “In the spirit of trying to do something to earn their tips, why is there a problem? Why do we have to regulate somebody picking up a guitar and offering some form of entertainment?” DeSantis said he was invited by the city to meet, along with the North Shore Business Improvement Association.

He said he is optimistic. “To their credit, the city has given us a heads-up on various things,” he said. “This one slipped through the cracks.” Former Kamloops Arts Council president Caroline Dick called the proposed policy a “terrible idea” and said she doesn’t know a single musician who is happy about it. She questioned whether, in fact, it goes against the Kamloops Arts Council’s mandate of making art accessible. “It’s contrary to their bylaws and their mandate and they have to follow those bylaws and mandate,” she said. Kamloops councillors Kathy Sinclair and Bill Sarai have both stated they are not in favour of charging licence fees to performers.

RETURN OF THE ZIPPER MERGE

emember the zipper merge from the summer of 2015? It’s back — and will likely be a hot topic of discussion for the next two years. It seems nothing sets commuters’ hair on fire like a major obstacle in their daily drives to and from work, even if those commuters had received ample warning about a project and plenty of advice on how to make the treks across the city as pain-free as possible. Those who commute between the downtown core and the North Shore will by now have encountered the congestion created by the West Victoria Street reconstruction project. The $13-million project will see crews replace century-old infrastructure below the road and improve landscaping at street level. The work is expected to last anywhere from 18 months to two years, which is much longer than the 2015 Overlanders Bridge resurfacing project that created much consternation in the city. Though it may seem counter-intuitive, and though it can appear to others as though drivers are cutting in, the zipper merge is indeed the most efficient way to move traffic through such projects. As city capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said: “By maximizing the full use of two lanes until the point of merge, congestion can be reduced and help keep traffic flowing.” If you would rather not fuss with the zipper, there are other options. The Halston and Red bridges will be busier than usual due to people seeking alternate routes to downtown, but the wait should not be nearly as long as the line of vehicles backed up on West Victoria each day. In addition, transit is available for those who don’t mind leaving for work earlier than normal. The bonus with being on the bus is you can finish many books and let the transit driver deal with commuting stress.

NDP eyes care workers

he biggest and most media-ignored battle in the B.C. legislature so far this spring has been over the sudden revelation in March that the NDP’s $40-million low wage redress fund for community social services agencies is going to only half of them. That would be the half where the employees are unionized. Thousands of people work for agencies contracted to the province to care for developmentally disabled and other vulnerable people, including children and the elderly. All these agencies get funded for the standard six per cent pay increase over three years that the John Horgan government is offering to its big government unions. The unionized half gets the low wage redress fund, allowing their employers to add an additional 14 per cent increase, about $4 an hour. It would be half as much if the fund went to the whole sector, but the unions took the whole pot at the bargaining table and the NDP has been trying unsuccessfully to conceal that fact. As many people have pointed out, this is clearly a strategy to force unionization of the whole group. It pays some people doing the same difficult work significantly less. In all health-care and elderly-support fields, there is a chronic shortage of willing and able workers and this is how the B.C. government proposes to fix that — a cull of non-union

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA community agencies on ideological lines. Incidentally, the previous NDP government tried to do this in 1998, before being swept out of office and reduced to two east Vancouver seats. After several days of concentrated questions and frantic evasions in the legislature, with Social Development Minister Shane Simpson and Children and Family Development Minister Katrine Conroy howling about the awful budget cuts of 2002, I asked Horgan about this forced unionization. He interrupted me twice before I could even ask the question, then went back to the “16 years of neglect” refrain his weaker ministers lean on these days. I started by noting B.C. Green MLA Adam Olsen had been the latest to question this obvious inequity toward a group of hardworking people, 75 per cent of whom are women and many of whom are Indigenous. Olsen specifically asked

Simpson to refrain from the “16 years” routine and received the same tired, dismissive evasions from Simpson. Fast forward a week and Horgan was asked in another media scrum whether this obviously unfair situation is ever going to change. He revealed that he met with the ministers the previous night, joined by Finance Minister Carole James and NDP house leader Mike Farnworth, whose job is to keep the government from losing votes or otherwise screwing up. Asked if there is “some plan for parity,” perhaps after three years, Horgan replied: “Absolutely. There is a disparity and it wasn’t created by us — and it won’t be solved in one year.” No one is arguing that these employees shouldn’t be paid more, but this statement is simply false. The “disparity” was created by this government, in March, intentionally and for a purpose they don’t want to talk about. Horgan said the non-union agencies are those that “aligned themselves with the Liberals for question period fodder.” And, as was apparently decided at his inner-cabinet crisis meeting prompted by this “fodder,” the new party line is that these targeted agency managers might just line their own pockets instead of paying employees to keep them from leaving. What a disgrace. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FAILED BY JUSTICE SYSTEM

KTW reader Sandra Moore says this alley off Fortune Drive in North Kamloops — the only access to her home — is in dire need of repair.

HOW ABOUT A REFERENDUM ON BETTER CITY ROADS? Editor: Why are we worried about spending money on a performing-arts centre when the roads and infrastructure in Kamloops are in dire need of repair? I have contacted the city on many occasions, as have my neighbours, regarding the state of our alley, which is the only way of getting to our homes as there is no access or parking on Fortune. I do not know how the city expects us to use this alleyway without complaining as it is ruining the undercarriage of our vehicles, especially when it is used on a constant

basis. For the taxes we pay, we should have better and safer access. This road has not had any repairs in the 14 years we have been here. This is a safety issue as well as people cannot even walk down the alley because the surface is very uneven and unsafe, especially at night as there are no lights. The city has been given money for infrastructure, not a performingarts centre. Maybe taxpayers should have a referendum to demand better roads and access points to our properties. Sandra Moore Kamloops

Editor: Regarding the recent manslaughter trial of David James Bond, who killed Sean Dunn on Dec. 30, 2016, the Dunn family and friends would like to set the record straight. Sean Patrick Dunn was not a horrible deviate prowling the streets at night looking for women to sexually abuse, as defence counsel made him out to be. Although it was never made public, he had no criminal record, let alone any arrest of a sexual nature. He was a fine son, brother, grandson, husband, nephew, friend and productive citizen who was loved by all who knew him, yet he was portrayed by defence counsel as a monster. So many things went wrong the night he was murdered and not one person stepped forward and made a difference. A jury of our peers was completely devoid of science and physics and totally discredited the testimony of the pathologist who did the autopsy. The prosecution did an amazing job of blowing holes in the defence’s case, but to no avail. As reported in Kamloops This Week after the trial, the

On Dec. 30, 2016, Sean Dunn was beaten to death on a North Kamloops street by David James Bond. Last month, Bond was acquitted of manslaughter.

judge would not allow the jury to hear the police report days before Sean’s death in which the accused became violent with another male involving his girlfriend. During Justice Sheri Donegan’s charge to the jury, she stated the many ways in which the accused could be found not guilty and a few ways the accused could be found guilty. The judge also stated it was a fact the accused was responsible for Sean’s death, but that was not what the jury was to decide. Apparently, Canada now has stand your ground laws similar

to those in the United States. This means you can now legally kill someone if you perceive a threat and you have no duty to retreat. Sean was extremely drunk, with a blood-alcohol level of 0.275, well over three times the legal limit to drive. He did not throw a punch and the jury decided he was somehow a threat to the accused’s girlfriend and deserved to die. In Canada, you no longer are obligated to walk away or diffuse a situation you believe may arise, meaning you are now above the law. It is strange that just days before this verdict, a similar case in Vancouver did result in a manslaughter conviction in which the threat was actually carried out. It was bad enough to lose Sean to murder, but to then see a not guilty verdict has destroyed all credibility in our justice system.

EDUCATION BEFORE THE BAG BAN Editor: I agree with letter writer Ken Dalke (‘No plastic bag ban until city gives us alternatives,’ April 9) that there needs to be a good alternative to plastic bags before they are banned. I think the education campaign is working. I use less and feel guilty if I forget my re-usable bag and have to pay for one. Not everyone has reusable bags or can afford them. Yes, I can keep a bag in the car for unplanned shopping, but not everyone has a vehicle or a place to stow a bag. And, sometimes, we humans just forget.

So, I won’t buy the items I wanted (less money to local business) or drop things as I try to carry them home? Some of the newer plasticized antimicrobial-coated bags do not last and are only wipeclean. I prefer the re-usable cloth bags I can throw in the washer and know they are clean. There are some filthy reusable bags out there. If people put leaky meat/ poultry/fish in those bags and later use them for fruits and vegetables, they can create a petri dish of bacteria to contaminate themselves and others who handle those bags.

It could be an infection-control issue, especially for cashiers expected to handle those bags. I predict cashiers refusing to handle unclean re-usable bags. Education about cleaning such bags is not well publicized. Until there is an affordable, re-usable, washable bag available to everyone, Kamloops council should encourage more education about reducing and recycling plastic bags and/or source alternatives. How about something biodegradable, like paper? Crystal Weston Kamloops

VARIOUS VIEWS ON PROPOSED PAC Editor: Re: The KTW article of March 25 (‘Kamloops Coun. Singh says any borrowing for performing-arts centre should go to a vote’): In Kamloops, we have a nationally recognized theatre company in Western Canada Theatre and a highly respected symphony orchestra in the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. With the very generous support of Ron and Rae Fawcett regarding funding, surely a referendum for a performing-arts centre is unnecessary. Fred and Pat Kaatz Kamloops Editor: We may not need a vote on the proposed performing-arts centre, but we need a say. True, we may not need a referendum on the matter. The other option is a counterpetition. City council could say it is going forward with building a PAC unless enough people signed a petition against it. This was the process that

played out in 2008, when a counter petition killed council’s plan to build a parkade in the Lorne Street parking lot at Riverside Park. Either way, the city must allow residents who will fund this project a say in the matter. It is the law. I support the idea for this project, but we need the details worked out. We also need a sound business plan so we aren’t on the hook for a potentially big mistake we have to live with and pay for in subsequent years. Let’s do it right and get a PAC that fits our needs and our budget. Stephen Karpuk Kamloops Editor: A convention and performing-arts centre is a no brainer if this city wants to grow. Kamloops competes against other cities for everything from tourist dollars to conventions. I moved to Kamloops in 2001 and have seen very little development to draw in both of those mentioned above.

The majority of cities our size or even smaller have larger convention space than we can offer. Kamloops has historically been a one-day layover for those travelling and that needs to change to broaden our revenue base. In an April 5 KTW article (‘Tourism Kamloops CEO pitches dual convention centre/ arts centre’), Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis confirmed many events go to other cities. Delaying developing a convention/performing-arts centre only puts our city further behind. More tourist and convention dollars increases employment and adds to the city’s bottom line to support local programs. Yes, tax dollars will be needed to help build the facilities, but the spinoff economically will be huge for many years to come. These facilities will put us on the map. It is a no-brainer to me.

Lightening heavy industry JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Domtar and Tolko’s tax rate will decrease slightly this year, at a cost of about $4 to the average household. But heavy industry in Kamloops will continue to pay more on average than other B.C. municipalities. City council on Tuesday approved this year’s mill rates. Residents will pay $4.98 per $1,000 of assessed value of their homes, generating an expected revenue of $71.3 million, which is 64 per cent of the total tax revenue. Businesses will pay $13.57 per $1,000 of assessed value, worth $26.7 million and 26 per cent of the tax revenue, while heavy industry will pay $71.81 per $1,000 of assessed value, worth $5.5 million, or five per cent of tax revenue. The city needs to collect $111.8 million of taxes, which is about a three per cent increase over what it collected last year. One city councillor took issue with a reduction of the heavy industry rate, which is charged to the Domtar pulp mill and Tolko’s plywood mill. Last year, heavy industry paid $73.34 per $1,000 of assessed value. The reduction is a result of a council policy implemented in recent years to incrementally lower the rate, due to high taxes paid in Kamloops by heavy

industry compared to other communities in the province. “If they’re [Domtar] trying to decide, do I spend $10 million to upgrade my environmental controls? Do I do it in Kamloops or do I do it somewhere else?” city corporate services director Kathy Humphrey told KTW. “That’s the decisions that they were facing. That’s why the policy came into play, to show a commitment that any investment in their mill wouldn’t also increase their taxes.” Coun. Denis Walsh argued the policy was inherited from the previous council, upon which he sat, and should be reviewed. “I think we need to look into this and see because it has serious ramifications for residential taxes,” Walsh said. Humphrey said the amount shifted to residents this year is $286,000. The reason for shifting to residents as opposed to businesses, non-profits or farms, is because a small increase has more of an impact on the latter three classes. For example, one penny per $1,000 of assessed residential property values results in the city netting $143,200. Businesses, non-profits and farms would have to pay much more to get the same result. Humphrey said the result this year is about 1.5 cents added to the mill rate, or about $4 for the average household. Since 2015, a total of

$1.9 million has been shifted from heavy industry to residents. Meanwhile, the average heavy industry rate among a dozen comparative communities in the province in 2018 was $23.36 per $1,000 of assessed value. Based on this year’s assessed values, if council were to reduce rates for Tolko and Domtar to meet that average, the city would lose $3.5 million worth of tax revenue in 2019. Mayor Ken Christian cautioned Walsh, noting the freeze allows Domtar to go to its board of directors and request investment in its pulp mill on Mission Flats Road. He noted heavy industry is generating $5.5 million in tax revenue for the city this year,

with Domtar the singlelargest taxpayer. “I don’t think we should characterize this as giving a break to heavy industry,” Christian said. Council voted 8-1 in favour of the mill rates, with Walsh opposed. Coun. Mike O’Reilly made a motion to have the city’s heavy industry rate policy reviewed at the finance committee level. His motion also included a review of tax exemptions in North Kamloops and downtown and was supported by council. Adoption of the mill rate, along with last month’s budget being finalized, means a tax hike for owners of average-assessed properties — which is $403,000 — of $66 on their annual bill.

Record year for Y Dream Home LOTTERY TICKETS SOLD OUT IN 10 DAYS; DRAW ON JULY 3 SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

The annual Y Dream Home lottery fundraiser has sold out after just 10 days, which is a record. A total of 15,000 tickets were sold to those hoping to win an $842,000 prize home in Tobiano. Kamloops Y Dream Home lottery spokesman Bryce Herman said he has watched as locals have continued to embrace the lottery while similar contests elsewhere haven’t fared as well. “It was about the 20th anniversary where things really started to catch on,” Herman said. And it really has caught on — and continues to. In 2017, Y Dream Home lottery tickets sold out in 23 days. In 2018, they sold out in 13 days. Both were records. “Really, I think it’s the fact this is a proven product. People are waiting for it. There’s this anticipation and pent-up demand,” Herman said.

BC Transit to pay blind woman $11,000 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The 2019 Y Dream Home is in Tobiano and is hosting open houses each weekend leading to the July 3 draw date. More information is online at ydreamhome.ca. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

The 3,300-square-foot house was built through a partnership between the Canadian Home Builders’ AssociationCentral Interior, Thompson Rivers University’s School of Trades and Technology and the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA. This is the first year a Y Dream Home has been located outside city limits. An open house is still being held each weekend at the Y Dream Home and, even though tickets are gone, one draw for a sold-out ticket will be held each week-

end until the draw date of July 3. A 50/50 draw that began last year has also returned — and grown. This time, the pot will go as high as $188,750. As of KTW press time, the pot was at $88,180 and Herman said tickets for that contest are selling “unbelievably well.” Tickets for the 50/50 draw are available at three locations: John Tod Centre, 150 Wood St., Kamloops YMCAYWCA, 400 Battle St. and at the Y Dream Home, 110 Cavesson Way in Tobiano. For more infor-

BC Transit has agreed to pay more than $11,000 to a legally blind woman who was mistreated by Kamloops bus drivers. Helen McFadyen filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal following a pair of incidents — one in late 2017 and the other in early 2018. On both occasions, McFadyen said she was a passenger on a Kamloops transit bus. She said on one occasion, her

driver failed to call out stops, as required by BC Transit policy, and on another occasion the driver announced stops in a “disrespectful” manner. BC Transit acknowledged McFadyen’s complaints and apologized to her. The transit provider also agreed to pay McFadyen $10,000 “for injury to dignity, feelings and self respect,” as well as $1,500 for expenses. McFadyen has since moved to Victoria from Kamloops.

Kamloops councillor, business partner buy Zack’s JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops councillor and his business partner have purchased venerable Zack’s Coffee Teas and Gifts downtown, assuming control of the store at Victoria Street and Fourth Avenue on April 1. Denis Walsh said he and Todd Mason wanted to purchase the coffee shop to make improvements and inject optimism for the future of the downtown core. “We feel that that location is underperforming and it has lots of potential,” Walsh told KTW. Walsh also owns MovieMart at St. Paul Street and Fourth Avenue. Mason said minor improvements have already be made, including seating, a new front display and cooler space. Major renovations have been teased down the road, though no details have been provided as to what to expect at the coffee shop in the future. “It’s going to be more vibrant,” Mason said. Meanwhile, the coffee shop has come under some fire on social media for posting a sign that state said it will not be honouring gift certificates issued prior to April 1,

when ownership changed hands. Walsh explained the business sale did not include money from the gift certificates that was received by the previous owner, Blackwell Roasting Company. Walsh said it was a detail missed during completion of the sale. “It’s the previous owner that accepted that money and they haven’t reimbursed us for the money they received for those gift certificates,” he said. Asked if it is fair for customers to lose out in that situation, Walsh likened it to a company that closes it doors and moves out of town. He said he does not know how many gift certificates are in circulation, though Mason said the previous owner’s son, who managed the coffee shop, told him not many certificates have been sold. Walsh said the business will collect names and phone numbers of customers with gift certificates. Once a list has been compiled, he said he will contact the previous owner and ask to be compensated so the gift certificates can be honoured. Walsh said customers can call the coffee shop at 250-374-6487 or pop into the café to provide their information.

City couple fundraising as transplant nears TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops woman has gone online in her search for financial help to cover expenses related to her husband’s pending liver transplant. Mark Daley contracted hepatitis C in the 1990s while undergoing a blood transfusion following an injury. “He got dirty blood,” wife Paula Hucker told KTW. “He got hep C from that. He lived with that because there was nothing much to do from it.” In 2015, Daley underwent treatment to cure his hepatitis, but the medication ruined his liver. “His liver is totally destroyed,” Hucker said. “He’s Stage 4 — end stage. He’s made it through neardeath experiences I can’t even tell you how many times.” The 67-year-old’s only shot is a new liver, but the treatment surrounding a transplant carries with it a hefty price tag.

Hucker said the procedure will take place at Vancouver General Hospital. “We have to get there,” she said. “We have to basically move there and that costs money. They told us it’s about $30,000 per family. Every time we go there, it’s about two grand.” Hucker said the treatment and medication is covered, but accommodations are not. “It’s just we always need to get to his next appointment, then after that it’s the next one after that,” she said. “It’s killing us financially. We can’t keep doing it.” In the meantime, Hucker said, Daley is looking into treatment in Manitoba and Ontario. “They have what’s called a MARS machine and it’s like dialysis for your liver,” she said. “B.C. doesn’t have it and it’s $15,000 per treatment. They tell me he’ll need three treatments and that will keep him alive longer to get a donor.” For more information or to donate, go online to gofundme. com/borrowedtime.

Suspect surrenders after Penticton shootings kill four Former municipal employee facing four charges of murder BLACK PRESS

A Penticton man has been charged in connection with a quartet of fatal shootings Monday in the South Okanagan city. John Brittain has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder. Penticton RCMP Supt. Ted De Jager said the names of the victims will not yet be revealed. De Jager said the victims and the suspect were known to each other, but he would not speak to the relationship between them. “There is no further danger in this matter to that community,”De Jager said. “The person we have in custody we are confident he was acting alone.” De Jager said although he understood the concerns of the Cornwall neighbourhood, where several of the shootings occurred, he said he “can’t speak to the events that led up to this.” “I can certainly respect what the neighbourhood has gone through.” De Jager said Brittain surrendered peacefully to the front counter of Penticton’s RCMP detachment on Monday. “It was a very dynamic situa-

A Penticton resident said one of the men who was fatally shot in Penticton was the type of guy to pull up a barstool and have a good chat with. Rudi Winter was one of four people, two men and two women, who were shot and died on Monday. “I knew him a little bit, he was part of a group of regulars that would hang out at Bar One and have a beer. He was a bit of fixture there that after a day at work he would be there or would show up,” said Daryl Clarke, vice chair of the Penticton Industrial Development Association. Clarke said he last saw Winter about two weeks ago and described him as being a “nice guy.” “No one deserves this to happen to them, especially over a trivial thing like a neighbour-

On Tuesday, John Brittain was charged with three counts of first degree murder and one count of second degree murder as a result of the incidents that allegedly occurred on April 15. Supt. Ted De Jager said four people were found dead in three

locations within a five kilometre radius. RCMP confirmed that it was two men and two women that were killed. Clarke said he was at a selfserve bottled water business just up the street from where Winter was killed on Lakeview Street and Heales Avenue. “I heard shots and a woman scream and thought someone had been shot. I jumped in my vehicle right away and went home, just around the corner and about 30 seconds later heard the sirens,” Clarke said. Clarke has lived in Penticton for almost 30 years and is shocked by the incident. “It makes feel sick that this happened in a town the size of Penticton. I have lived here since 1990, things like this don’t happen in Penticton,” he said. “I think police did a phenomenal job dealing with shootings at both ends town and something else going on at a motel.”

Man shot dead Sunday during Salmon Arm church service

Victim of Salmon Arm shooting remembered as father figure to many

BLACK PRESS

A 25-year-old man has been charged in connection with a fatal shooting Sunday at a Salmon Arm church. Matrix Savage Gathergood is charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault and disguising his face with intent to commit an offence. Two men were shot at the Church of Christ on Sunday afternoon. One was taken to hospital and is expected to recover, but Gordon Parmenter, 78, was killed. His son, David Parmenter, told Black Press he believed the attack on his father was targeted. RCMP are continuing to speak with witnesses and access to the Church of Christ remained closed Tuesday as forensic police teams investigated the scene. Staff Sgt. Scott West said police are “limited with the amount of information we can share at this time” as they gather evidence for the court proceedings. “Additional resources have been called in to support the ongoing investigation and offi-

cers will be looking at any and all previous investigations or interactions with the accused and the victims to determine their relevance to the ongoing fatal shooting investigation,” West said.

Gathergood appeared in court in Salmon Arm by phone on Monday morning and remains in custody. His next appearance was slated to take place on Tuesday.

Father killed daughters, attempted suicide, Crown argues as trial starts CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A Crown lawyer says a Vancouver Island father stabbed his young daughters dozens of times before attempting to kill himself on Christmas Day in 2017. Clare Jennings delivered her opening statement to a B.C. Supreme Court jury in Vancouver at the start of the trial for Andrew Berry, who has pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree murder. Jennings said the girls’ mother, Sarah Cotton, went to the Oak Bay police detachment on Dec. 25, 2017, after the father failed to return their daughters by noon as required by a court order. She said police went to his apartment and found six-year-

Gordon Parmenter is being remembered as a father figure to many who had a way of connecting with people. Parmenter, 78, was killed on Sunday during a shooting at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ, an incident that left a second victim injured. “There’s a lot of people he informally parented through the years, just being there for people who are struggling,” said Gordon’s son, David Parmenter, deeply shaken by the loss. David said his father lived his faith and took his role as church elder seriously. “For him, it wasn’t just work. He was actually there for people,” David said. “He just 100 per cent gave of his time and his energies to serving others.” Every Sunday afternoon, after church, Gordon would meet with elderly members of the congregation who have difficulty leaving their homes.

old Chloe Berry and four-yearold Aubrey Berry dead, lying on beds in separate bedrooms with multiple stab wounds to their bodies. Jennings said police found Andrew Berry naked in the bathtub with a black eye and stab wounds to his neck and throat, and he told first responders, “Kill me,’’ and “Leave me alone.’’ The defence has not yet had an opportunity to deliver its opening statement or to call witnesses. Jennings said one police officer initially responded to the home and saw a girl dead on a bed before he closed the door and called for another officer to join him. By the time that officer arrived, it was about 6 p.m.,

David said his father was an expert at connecting with people. “If it was little kids, he would get right down on their level and talk to them so they felt respected and understood,” he said. David described Gordon as the patriarch of a large family with children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren both nearby and in the U.S. “I know that all of my mother’s family looked at him as a brother and, in some cases, maybe even as a father figure,” David said. Gordon was born in the U.S. and served in the U.S. Navy. He worked as a manager for Coca-Cola, a job that brought him to the Vernon area in the 1980s. The Parmenter family moved to the Shuswap in the late 1980s, when Gordon bought a stake in a pig farm in Tappen. “He loved this area, he loved the people here,” David said. Described as a life-long learner, In his spare time, Gordon tried his hand as a pilot, scuba diver, rock hound and cabinet maker.

and she said the officers had to use flashlights because Berry’s power had been shut off. They saw blood on the floor and walls throughout the apartment, she said. Firefighters and paramedics responded to provide first aid to Berry in the bathroom, where he asked them to kill him, Jennings told the jury. He was taken by ambulance to hospital. Another paramedic assessed the two young girls in the bedrooms, where they were wearing bloody pyjamas, had bloody hair and were stiff and cold, she said. “They had been deceased for some time,’’ she said. Berry was treated in hospital and underwent surgery to repair a serious injury to his throat or neck, she said.

B.C. expands mental health injury access CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — Emergency dispatchers, nurses and care aides in British Columbia will soon have easier access to workers’ compensation for mental-health disorders associated to their work. Labour Minister Harry Bains

said the regulatory changes are about fairness and support for workers who experience mental harm because of their jobs. Bains said people in certain professions are more likely to encounter trauma on the job that can lead to mental illness. The government changed the Workers Compensation Act

last year to add a list of mentalhealth disorders associated with jobs like police and firefighters, and now Bains said they’re expanding that to the other occupations. WorkSafeBC statistics from 2016 show nurses accounted for 12 per cent of claims because of mental disorders.

destroyed, the couple said it is a “miracle” that their family’s home remained standing. “It was a trying month or so, but it also really brought us closer together,” Harder said. “It’s so neat to see how people, neighbours that necessarily wouldn’t even talk to each other, all band together to help each other.” “Immediately,” Chisholm added. “There was no question about it — how can we help?” The Quesnel couple was in Kamloops on Friday to unveil the monument they created to honour volunteers who lent a hand, much like they did, during the 2017 wildfires. The Lend a Hand monument was commissioned by the

MY CHOICE SALES EVENT

Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The artists’ personal connection to the fires poured into their work, a steel and concrete structure located at what Mayor Ken Christian called “ground zero” — right behind Sandman Centre. Christian was among several politicians from every level of government — city, regional district, provincial and federal governments — at Sandman Centre on Friday to thank volunteers for banding together. More than 11,000 evacuees were housed in Kamloops, including in the Blazers’ home rink, and volunteers gave about 100,000 hours of service. Politicians agreed the efforts are indicative of a volunteer

spirit in the River City, which can be traced to 1993, when the city hosted the Canada Games. That volunteer spirt was again evident during the wildfires of 2003 and 2017. “It is truly an honour to be the mayor of a city that cares,” Christian said. Emergency support services volunteer Gord Davis ran the receptionist centre at Sandman Centre in 2017 and noted the smiles on people’s faces on Friday, compared to the looks on the faces of evacuees nearly two years ago, when people from throughout the region came to Kamloops to sleep in the arena. The retired school principal said the centre was active for 71 days,

happens to be.” Some people questioned whether the TNRD should spend $100,000 to erect the monument. There was apparently also much debate by board members about the best way to honour volunteers. TNRD board chair Ken Gillis advocated for something permanent. “I’m proud that I argued in favour of it,” Gillis said. “And there will be a cost, no doubt. And we’ll hear about it. But I think it’s well worth it. We needed something that’s timeless, something that will be here and outlast us. Volunteers played an integral role in supporting those impacted by wildfires and we are so very appreciative.” The artwork was unveiled and Harder

explained steel and concrete were chosen to “withstand the test of time, much like our communities.” Surrounding the base of the monument is an imprint of forests, demonstrating the imprint the fires had on people’s memories. Also included is a glass map of the Thompson rivers and centre marker for Kamloops, as an essential place of refuge, and concrete hands that Harder said represent the volunteers “breaking away from their daily lives to help everybody in need and lifting everybody up in the community.” “We hope this becomes a space to reflect and remember that we’re all stronger together,” Chisholm said.

from early July to midSeptember. He volunteered 10 hours per day for 55 days, giving upwards of 500 hours that summer. Volunteers were responsible for everything from registering evacuees and setting up accommodations to lending an ear. He recalled challenges, including training those who walked in off the street to help and burnout among those who refused breaks. “To recognize the volunteers, I think is a really good idea,” Davis said. “Also to encourage people to continue to volunteer. That’s what makes things run. If you took the volunteers out of the equation, a lot of things would collapse. “Whether it’s coaching teams, whatever it

he Quesnel couple behind a new monument honouring 2017 wildfire volunteers can relate to those who put in thousands of hours to house evacuees in Kamloops. During the beginning of the fires that year, lightning struck in Quesnel and Lee-Anne Chisholm and Aaron Harder received a worried phone call from Chisholm’s parents — a fire had started in the distance. “We took that halfhour drive and when we had arrived, the forest fire had surrounded their house,” Chisholm told KTW. “We basically had a few minutes to convince them to evacuate. That’s a very tough situation to realize that you have to leave. And we evacuated so quickly that we realized we have to help our friends and neighbours.” Help they did. As bombers and firefighters arrived on scene, Chisholm and Harder told friends and neighbours about what was happening and helped them evacuate. And with nowhere else to go, the couple’s front yard became a pseudo-refugee camp, housing RVs, evacuees and what was thought to be the last of their family’s worldly possessions.

LIGHTING THE NIGHT IN A FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

The inaugural Light the Night Walk took place on Saturday in Riverside Park. Light the Night was organized by Shane Hanna, whose wife, Nancy, died last spring from complications during treatment for leukemia. The walk raises money to fund research into blood-borne and other cancers. Those holding gold lanterns did so in memory of loved ones lost to a blood cancer, while red lanterns were hoisted by those supporting the cause.

Kamloops Farmers’ Market set to open this weekend Opening day of the 2019 Kamloops Farmers’ Market is this Saturday. The market will be open in the 200block of St. Paul Street downtown from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will continue each Saturday through Oct. 26. The Wednesday farmers’ market will begin on May 1 outside the TNRD Building, downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue. The Wednesday market will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Oct. 30. Market organizers have received more than 100 vendor applications, with about 60 vendors expected to be on site this Saturday. Included in that group will be farmers, those with prepared food, artisans and those operating home-based businesses. “All products are made, baked or grown by our vendors within B.C., the majority within a 100-kilometre radius

of Kamloops,” market manager Greg Unger said. The market will again feature a number of special events, including the annual Tomato Festival in September and new collaborations with the Downtown Kamloops association and other community groups. A significant change at the market this year is the decision to not hand out plastic shopping bags to customers. Market patrons are encouraged to bring re-usable bags or baskets. For those who do not have a re-usable bag, the farmers’ market information booth will have cloth bags for sale. In addition, the information booth will feature a need a bag, leave a bag exchange of re-usable bags. As for products, here is what customers can expect to see when visiting

the market this Saturday: • Potatoes, sunchokes, green garlic, parsnips, carrots, beets, kohlrabi, baby winter greens, onions and cabbage; • Jams, pickles and preserves; • cheese; • local honey; • flowers and hanging baskets; • fresh herbs; • fresh baking, including breads, cookies and sweets; • potted plants, including strawberry, raspberry, tomato and pepper; • a variety of meats, including frozen cuts, ground beef, sausages, smokies and jerky; • bedding plants, starter plants and seeds; • soaps and beauty products; • farm fresh eggs; • hand-made quilts and paintings; • hand-crafted jewelry.

COMMUNITY

Simmering in silence shows you are hurting

am angry about all the hurt, pain and denial out there. Addiction strikes about one in 10 people, so the next time you are in a classroom, in a meeting or on a bus, take a gander around and estimate how many near you might be secretly addicted or impaired. Then consider their impact on others, how widespread their disease is and how far it reaches beyond you. Mothers, fathers, children, nephews, cousins, employers, sisters, brothers, grandparents, foster parents, government (in terms of costs), doctors, nurses, lawyers, coworkers, police officers, paramedics, funeral

ASK AN ADDICT Ask an Addict is a column penned by a Kamloops scholar with expertise in addiction issues and someone who is also an addict. The column is meant to inform and help, which is particularly important as we remain mired in an opioid crisis that continues to claim thousands of lives each year. If you have a question you would like answered, email it to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Anonymity is guaranteed. directors, morticians, journalists, friends and even strangers are all impacted by this deadly disease. We live in such utter denial about addiction’s harmful reach and it impacts us all — people who vape, smoke, gamble, overeat, under-eat, drink, do drugs, have

excessive sex, watch too much porn, masturbate too often, overspend, hoard, continually seek love, play endless video games, overwork, overexercise and compulsively wash. I am curious about those who raged on the KTW Facebook page, then suddenly stopped.

I fear they have retreated or, worse, are living in denial about the impact of all this. They stopped commenting, perhaps thinking their silence conveys they are OK. I am thinking their anger does not convey they are OK. I am not here to incite rage, but to help. What worries me most is when people refuse to comment and remain in their pain (by simmering in silence) because it shows they truly are hurt. The disease of addiction loves to silence all. It loves to go underground and into the dark as this is where addiction flourishes most. People rage against the alcoholic/addict and

say we must stop. They point their fingers at us while three fingers point right back at them. Dr. Phil McGraw said it best: “There’s something about that person that I don’t like about me.” I isolate because people reflect me back to me. I can’t be me because of people like you, who unconsciously rage against people like me. Pain begets more pain and increases mine — and when in my pain, I reach for more wine (whine/anger/drugs). (Life is too deadly to be taken seriously all of the time.) People wonder why it is so hard for addicts to seek help. All I can say is look

in the mirror to see why that might be. I see me wherever I go. I isolate at times because it is hard to see me reflected in you. Some people are unconsciously hurt and refuse to admit this. They have denial, just like within us. They might unconsciously scream that you are not like the addict. Unfortunately, their unacknowledged pain and anger comes out sideways when dealing with us. They rage against addicts like me who do exactly the same thing when we rage against them. Like the addict, blame us for their pain. Like the addict, they refuse to seek help. I am grateful to have a program to lean on

and a higher power that guides me each day. I am not religious, but spiritual in nature. It bears repeating that addicts are frustrated mystics who constantly seek greater purpose in life. When we discover alcohol or drugs, we think we have finally filled the holes in our souls. We mistakenly believe we have found our answer, the meaning of life through intoxicated states, but when we realize we haven’t, we grow frustrated and rage. Twelve-step programs bring us a lifelasting peace. They provide us purpose and meaning in life so we no longer need to suffer.

OPPONENTS OF BIOSOLIDS EXPORT PLAN PLANNING PROTEST JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Turtle Valley residents met on the weekend to organize a protest in Kamloops, likely to be held after the Easter long weekend, in light of plans to have thousands of tonnes of City of Kamloops biosolids applied to ranchland in the Turtle Valley area near Chase. “We’ll probably head into our government offices,” Turtle Valley resident and community spokesperson Connie Seaward told KTW. “Because it’s not just an issue of we don’t want to be dumped with this toxic waste here in the valley. We think it shouldn’t be on any agricultural land, right?” She said the issue transcends what the landowner is doing, noting the issue involves organic matter recycling regulations and various levels of government. “Not just Turtle Valley’s against it,” she said. “Serious change needs to be made.”

The City of Kamloops is working on a long-term solution to manage its biosolids — organic material resulting from treated sewage at its waste-treatment centre on Mission Flats Road. In the meantime, Arrow Transportation has been hired to manage the biosolids via land application, a process that has come under fire throughout the province, including in Kamloops and Merritt Arrow’s plan to address the city’s stockpile was to transport about 23,000 tonnes of biosolids to a compost and soil fabrication facility on Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band lands to produce compost that could be blended into soil and used to construct a nine-hole expansion of Talking Rock Golf Course. Those plans, however, are on hold. Jeff Mayer, regional manager of Arrow Environmental Services, said after a year of working with the First Nation, the band ran into a permitting issue on the Talking Rock land. “It postponed the project,” Mayer

said. “In the interest of keeping the momentum up, LSLIB introduced us to one of their partners, which was the Turtle Valley Bison Ranch. “We started exploring alternatives and they were keenly interested in the biosolids project.” The new plan is to transport the stockpiled biosolids, likely beginning within the next month and carrying on into early fall, to the Turtle Valley Bison Company, where it will be mixed into an enhanced, nutrient-rich soil to reclaim a piece of previously logged property more than 20 hectares in size. “The idea behind our project is that we can go in there and, using these biosolids — which are very rich in a number of elements that help agricultural land, like nitrogen, phosphorus — we can enhance their land and their soil and we’ll also be recontouring the property so that it would be more stable, less prone to erosion,” Mayer said. “Then we can actually create for them some usable land.” About five minutes from that

We’ll show you it’s possible.

property is the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge, the location at which up to 100 residents have met and will continue to meet in opposition to plans to spread the biosolids. Donkey refuge president and co-founder Shirley Mainprize said the registered charity is “vehemently against” the application of biosolids on a hill and beside a lake, calling biosolids “toxic.” “Our first concern is the donkeys because that’s our mission statement, that we provide a safe home for the donkeys,” she said. Seaward said she is concerned about the amount of biosolids to be spread on the ranchland and the potential impacts on drinking wells. “They have done other land applications on farms and things, just not to this extent,” she said. Seaward criticized current regulations and said the community was not given enough time to be properly consulted. Mayer said the company chooses its biosolids projects very carefully, including the Turtle Valley applica-

tion, of which he said the company is “very proud.” The project was approved by the Ministry of Environment. Mayer acknowledged conflicting science, but said there is no evidence biosolids impact humans or wildlife. “At the end of the day, the science that we subscribe to is the science that is endorsed and ultimately informs the regulations that MOE puts in place,” he said, noting the company continues to consult with the community. “We’re still working actively with engaging the community and putting the final touches on the plan together to make sure that we have as little impact on the community as possible,” Mayer said. However, Seaward said residents also oppose the project on principle. She said the city has nowhere to put years worth of stockpiled biosolids and is now dumping them in Turtle Valley’s backyard. “That kind of ticks everybody off,” Seaward said.

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

Shopping local has long been treated as a valuable, community-minded mantra. And while there are plenty of people who can tell you the reasons that shopping local is a good idea, maybe the best people to ask are the very ones behind those local businesses. For example, Chris Emsland of Emsland Insurance had this to say: “When you shop at independent or local-to-you businesses, more money is kept within your community because local businesses often use or buy from local service providers. “The income is spent locally, which helps grow other businesses as well as

your region’s tax base.” Emsland also shared this quote from Michael H. Shuman, author of the book Going Local: “Going local does not mean walling off the outside world. It means nurturing locally owned businesses, which use local resources sustainably, employ local workers

at decent wages and serve primarily local consumers. “It means becoming more self-sufficient and less dependant on imports. “Control moves from the boardrooms of distant corporations and back into the community where it belongs.” Wayne Richardson,

owner and operator of Runners’ Sole, offers a similar sentiment. “I think it’s important to shop local because it keeps the dollars in our community,” he said. “My business is based on taking care of my community and myself, shopping in my community. “Runners Sole has a true interest in what we do. If businesses that are locally operated shop with each other, we will refer our customer to businesses that we have done business with that have the same philosophy.” It sometimes feels as though the world has become smaller due

to technology and the internet and, while we can purchase a product from across the globe as opposed to a shop down the street, that’s not always the wisest choice. Keeping your dollars local can also have an impact on the environment. When you pick up your produce at the local farmers’ market in Kamloops, you’re not only supporting the local farming community, you’re also buying fruits and vegetables with a much smaller carbon footprint than veggies shipped from other nations. The steps required to shop local are ultimately fairly minimal. It only takes a fresh perspective and a desire to change your habits. But the local impact can truly be immense.

Runners Sole would like you to meet their store manager Ryan Pidhirniak.

“The proper fit is crucial to your health and well-being” says Ryan.

Ryan has been a runner his whole life and has competed in many races from 5Ks to an Ironman triathlon, and is passionate about health and fitness. He is also a great community supporter and enjoys giving back to his adopted hometown of Kamloops.

What is important to you is important to Ryan. His customer-first mentality will not only leave you walking out of our shop with your new favorite shoes, but with a smile on your face as well.

Like all the staff at Runners Sole, Ryan has been extensively trained in how to properly fit you in the right pair of shoes.

They do this because advertising in local newspapers and local news websites continues to be a powerful and costeffective marketing platform – and that’s because of your trust in us. According to research conducted by our national association, News Media Canada, Canadians trust ads they see in newspapers and on their affiliated websites more than the ads in any other medium, including social media, other internet websites, radio and TV. In a world drowning in increasingly dubious advertising messages on what seems like every surface, that trust in advertising is vital.

You, too, can celebrate Kamloops-area businesses

Owning a business is the goal of many would-be entrepreneurs. Being your own boss has certain perks, including making your own hours and not having to report to anyone but yourself. But owning a business is a lot of work, especially for new business owners trying to get their businesses off the ground. According to Bloomberg, eight out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within 18 months of opening their doors. Other statistics say 30 per cent of new businesses fail in the first two years of operation 50 per cent during the first five years; and 66 per cent during the first 10 years. Local businesses face an uphill battle to survive,

but there are many things residents can do to support these valuable additions to their communities. • Shop locally: Shopping locally not only supports local businesses, but it also contributes to the local economy. Shopping locally keeps money in the community,

which can benefit everyone. Shopping locally produces a trickle-down effect, as local businesses that are thriving may patronize other local businesses, and so on. This, in turn, helps grow other businesses in the community, making it a nicer place to live and work.

• Spread the word: Wordof-mouth advertising is effective. A respected member of the community who shares a good experience with a local business may propel others to patronize the business. Speak up when you feel a business owner has provided an exceptional level of service. Recommend a company to friends and neighbors. You also may want to review a business via online rating websites. • Attend grand openings: Each community is unique and often the vibe of a community is defined by the businesses that call that community home. Attend grand openings to show you are invested in the quality and vitality of your

community. When others see a business doing well, they may be more inclined to shop there when out and about. • Apply for work: Another way to support a local business is to work for one. Small local businesses employ scores of people across the country and many foster great working environments. In addition, small businesses are known for their customer service and employees often become experts in their products and services because of the hands-on experience they gain while working for small businesses. Supporting and celebrating local businesses can instill a sense of community pride and benefit the local economy in a myriad ways.

DIG IT: WHO FOOTS THE ARCHEOLOGY BILL? An archeological Impact assessment is done for highway expansion east of Kamloops. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE PHOTO

KIM CHRISTENSON

SPECIAL TO KTW

republicofarchaeology.ca

here have been several articles published in various newspapers in the last number of years about homeowners facing unanticipated archeology bills. A pretty common statement is, ‘Why isn’t the government paying for this? Why do I have to pay?” The answer isn’t completely straightforward, but we have a user-pay system in B.C. Most of the earlier archeological studies in B.C. were governmentfunded through the Ministry of Highways, which gave money to the Archaeology Sites Advisory Board to conduct work in advance of planned highways. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, but ceasing in the early 1980s, a handful of archeologists would set out in the summer with a truck, a tent and some sturdy hiking books. They would survey the various transportation corridors to document archeological sites. In the mid-1970s, BC Hydro was booming

with proposed developments and it conducted archeological assessments in advance of hydroelectric projects. This was done in conjunction with universities in the province, moving to using private contractors by the mid1980s, thus creating the user-pay model we see today. After a re-write of the Heritage Conservation Act and the implementation of the Forest Practices Code in the mid-1990s, a wider net was cast for the requirement of archeological study. Then both larger and smaller-scale develop-

ers became required to conduct archeological assessments where conflicts with sites would occur, furthering the payment-responsibility model we see today. There are many reasons why an archeological study or assessment may occur. A small percentage of archeology conducted in B.C. is academic in nature. In these cases, the archeology is paid for by the institution undertaking the research, usually universities or museums, as they stand to benefit from the research through published

research papers and future grants for additional research and study. In most cases, however, archeological studies are done through the process of cultural resource management, when a proposed development conflicts, or may conflict, with archeological sites. In many cases, our government does still pay for archeological assessments with taxpayer dollars when the archeological assessment is being conducted as part of a project or development that will benefit

the taxpayers at large. Highways are a common example. Utilities corporations, such as FortisBC and BC Hydro, pay for archeological assessments when developments to install or upgrade those services are required. This in turn is paid through the fees collected by users of those utilities. This payment model also applies to smaller developers. An individual or company planning a residential or commercial development is financially responsible for any required archeological assessments, just

as they would be financially responsible for undertaking a geotechnical assessment prior to designing a housing foundation on a steep slope, for example, or a hydrology study in advance of installing a septic system. As it stands, those who are positioned to benefit from a given development bear the costs associated with any required archeological assessments. If the profits or benefits from a given development are not going to be shared with the wider public, the users who will benefit bear the cost, be that a large mining corporation with shareholders, a family-run winery or an individual homeowner building a dock. As a side note, a common theme archeologists observe when people are upset about

facing unexpected costs is that they purchased a property without being aware there are or could be archeological concerns. Currently, protected archeological sites aren’t listed on property titles unless there is a legal covenant or notice of heritage assessment in place, but these are generally rare. In some cases, individuals can avoid being surprised by making this a consideration before purchasing property and discussing it with their realtor, especially if they intend to develop or make substantial changes to an existing development. This type of due diligence could help alleviated the unexpected nature of some of these situations. Kim Christenson is a Kamloops archeologist. Interested in more?

those factors come in. “When a coach is evaluating whether I can be dedicated to giving the time and effort to making sure that this team continues to grow, well, the GM is also going to start to think, ‘OK, well, as much as this is a fit in our eyes, maybe it slowly doesn’t become a fit.’ It was a collaborative approach.” Gaglardi said he was not personally involved in what he called an amicable split between Lajoie and the Blazers, but was kept up to speed by general manager Matt Bardsley. Bardsley said the fit was right for neither the Blazers nor Lajoie. “A major, major decision like this, you certainly let the ownership group know what’s happening,” Bardsley said. “At the end of the day, it is my

decision as the GM. “Going in, we made the decision to bring Serge in and I felt good about the decision, but sometimes, as things evolve, maybe things just aren’t quite working.” Bardsley noted his club was inconsistent throughout the campaign and said Lajoie faced challenges in making the move to junior hockey from the U Sports ranks. Lajoie said he did not feel threatened by the late-season addition of assistant coach Darryl Sydor, a part-owner of the Blazers. “It had no bearing on my decision,” Lajoie said. “I didn’t see it and I still don’t see that there was anything backwards or intentional. I looked at it as an opportunity to grow and learn from some-

body. How do we integrate a guy that comes in part way through the year?” Bardsley was asked if Sydor will be the Blazers’ next head coach. “We talked to Darryl and I think we’re comfortable Darryl is going to come back as a coach,” Bardsley said. “At what capacity, we have to discuss that. Is it the head coach? We haven’t even discussed that.” The Gaglardi ownership stable, which includes Sydor, Shane Doan, Jarome Iginla and Mark Recchi, has been at the helm for 12 seasons. The next bench-boss hire will be the 11th full-time or interim head coach since the group took over. Gaglardi, who had rave reviews for Sydor during a post-season interview with KTW, said there is no hurry to name a head coach and “the intention is to proceed with a full coach search process.” Assistant coach Dan Kordic, who came to Kamloops with Lajoie from the Golden Bears’ program, has been retained by the Blazers, although his status with the club could be affected by the decision on a new head coach. Lajoie seems likely to seek other opportunities behind the bench. “If I stay out of coaching too long, do I fall out of being relevant?” Lajoie said. “Do I become less marketable? Do people forget about me? “If I make the decision I’m tired of coaching, I can always go back into the classroom, go teach, go into a sports academy. That’s why I’m always grateful to have committed to getting my bachelor of education and also my masters in coaching.”

erge Lajoie is no longer head coach of the Kamloops Blazers. The WHL club issued a press release that said the Blazers and Lajoie have mutually parted ways. “I’m very comfortable with it,” Lajoie told KTW in a phone interview. “Both the Blazers and myself, totally on the same page. It was an evaluation that I made at the end of the year. “When you sit down with your family and you think, ‘Is this really worth it?’ It would not have been fair to the Kamloops Blazers.” Lajoie was asked if he was fired. “I know people are going to speculate, but at the end of the day, there’s a good understanding. We’re parting amicably,” Lajoie said. “There’s always that bittersweet. I’m definitely disappointed. I had an absolute blast with the players. They challenged me. They helped me grow. “Yeah, I really would have liked to have seen this through, but then you say, ‘OK, on the flip side, can I really dedicate all the time and effort that is necessary?’” The Bonnyville, Alta., product was hired prior to the 2018-2019 season to replace Don Hay, who did not escape sweeping changes made by majority owner Tom Gaglardi following the 2017-2018 campaign. Lajoie, the former head coach of the University of Alberta Golden Bears, led the Blazers to a 28-32-6-2 record, which left them tied for third in the B.C. Division with the Kelowna Rockets. Kamloops, which picked up 11 of 12 points in the final six games of the regular season, knocked off Kelowna 5-1 in a rare post-season play-in game at Sandman Centre to reach the playoffs.

Rattlers to have more competition SENIOR LACROSSE CLUB STILL LOOKING FOR JUNIOR GRADUATES

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last year, it was hard to take seriously the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League, which was comprised of two teams, the Kamloops Rattlers and Armstrong Shamrocks. The squads agreed to play a six-game season series. Kamloops was unable to floor a team for one of the games. Armstrong won the series 5-0. A much-needed jolt is helping to legitimize the senior C league for 2019. The Vernon Tigers, an original league member that folded before the 2013 campaign, and the Kelowna Raiders, who took last year off due to a lack of numbers, have returned. Brennan Plante of Vernon has played for the Shamrocks since the Tigers folded, but is working to revive his hometown team. “Even a three-team league wasn’t fun, but a four-team league is pretty good,” Plante told the Vernon Morning Star. “When Kelowna dropped out at the last second last year, leaving just Armstrong and Kamloops, I thought, ‘Oh man, we’re in trouble.’ “I figured it was now or never.” Rattlers’ captain Mark Jurista said the return of the Tigers and Raiders is great for the league, but he remains concerned about the longterm health of his Snakes. Jurista has been vocal in

local media for years, appealing to graduating junior players to make the jump to the senior ranks. “The aging core group is our biggest concern,” Jurista said. “It’s the same guys and we’re onto our later 30s. We might not be able to play senior C for that much longer. We’ll see how long our bodies can handle it.” Liam Hagerty, who plays for the Rattlers, has taken over head coaching duties for the Kamloops Venom of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League. That connection may help foster the relationship between the teams and lead to a few more junior B graduates joining

the Rattlers, Jurista said. The TOJLL has been reduced to three teams, the Venom, Tigers and South Okanagan Flames of Penticton. The Armstrong Shamrocks and Kelowna Raiders are unable to floor teams this season. Some of the displaced juniors from Armstrong and Kelowna are expected to join senior teams. “It’s going to be tough on us,” Jurista said. “We don’t have that luxury of having that influx of 15 junior guys that can play for our team. We’re really hoping that we can get a relationship with our junior team and have some call-ups, for at least a few of our games.

“If we’re getting romped by teams that have 30 players because they have an influx of juniors, and we have 12 runners show up to the game, it might get a bit wearing on our guys. We’ll have to see. I’m not too sure how it’s going to pan out.” The Rattlers will begin league play against Vernon at Memorial Arena on Friday, April 26. Game time is 8 p.m. “We’re just happy there is still a league and we can be a part of it,” Jurista said. “If we have to scrape by for part of the season, where we’re a bit short on numbers, we’re OK with that, but, hopefully, we can get some younger blood in the coming years, as we say every year.”

Jepson will play ball in Texas BLACK PRESS

University of the Fraser Valley baseball star Riley Jepson is heading to the Lone Star State this fall, committing to the NCAA Div-II University of Texas at Tyler. The Cascades’ slugger from Kamloops

put pen to paper earlier this mongh and will head to Texas in September, after he wraps his spring season at UFV and a summer stint with the Western Canadian Baseball League’s Lethbridge Bulls. “It was surreal, an amazing feeling that

first brought relief that I had achieved one of my goals,” Jepson said. “I have been working with a network of American baseball coaches for an opportunity to play NCAA baseball. I wanted to play with another winning organization like UFV and play-

ing baseball for the Patriots while attending school in Tyler will be a thrill.” Until this year, Texas at Tyler was a Div-III program. Jumping up to DivII, the Patriots are currently in the midst of their first season in the Lone Star Conference,

facing the likes of Angelo State, West Texas A&M, Texas A&M Kingsville, Cameron, UT Permian Basin, Tarleton State and Eastern New Mexico. Jepson is a graduate of the Kamloops RiverDogs’ and Kamloops Sun Devils’ baseball programs.

Ward, Pioneers ousted in Frozen Four semifinal Tyler Ward of Kamloops enjoyed a run to the NCAA Division One Frozen Four national championship hockey tournament in Buffalo, but his Denver Pioneers were ousted last Thursday in the semifinal round. Marc Del Gaizo scored in overtime to give the University of Massachusetts a 4-3 victory over Denver. Ward, a 19-year-old forward, had an assist as the Pioneers fought back from a 3-1 deficit in the third period to force overtime. He had five goals and 15 points in 38 games for the Pioneers in 2018-2019. Ward belonged to the bantam tier 1 Kamloops Blazers in 2013-2014 and midget AAA Thompson Blazers

BRIEFS in 2014-2015. He played for the junior A Merritt Centennials in 20152016 and 2016-2017 before joining the Tri-City Storm of the United States Hockey League in 2017-2018. Minnesota Duluth blanked Massachusetts 3-0 in the national championship game in Buffalo on Saturday. NATIONAL CHAMP Randy Nelson of Kamloops claimed gold with Team B.C. at the Canadian Police Curling Championship, which wrapped up

earlier this month in St. John’s, N.L. B.C., the oldest team at the tournament with an average age of 63, knocked off Saskatchewan 4-2 in 10 ends in the final. Nelson played second for the rink, which includes skip Dale Hockley of Chilliwack and a pair of Comox products, third Glen Brennan and lead Dan Brennan. B.C. rolled through round-robin play with a record of 10-1 to finish in first place. Nelson was named to the first all-star team. Team B.C. earned the right to play as Team Canada at next year’s national event, which will be held in April in Scarborough, Ont. Nelson has compet-

ed for nine years at the event, winning three gold medals, one silver and two bronze. The police nationals raised about $20,000 for Tourette Canada. JOINING THE PACK The TRU WolfPack men’s basketball and volleyball teams have added to their rosters. Sam Jean, a Grade 12 student South Kamloops secondary, will join the men’s hoops squad in time for the 2019-2020 Canada West campaign. “To represent the city and the university will be a big honour,” Jean told TRU Sports Information.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The first green jacket was all about the future. The fifth green jacket Tiger Woods won Sunday at the Masters was more about the past, best measured by a powerful celebration and enormous popularity than by any ripple effect it might have in golf. Tim Finchem was in this third year as PGA Tour commissioner in 1997 when a 21-year-old Woods — in his 15th start on tour, already with three victories — set 20 records at Augusta National with a 12-shot victory that made him the youngest Masters champion. Finchem now is in his third year of retirement from the PGA Tour with his own green jacket as an Augusta National member. He was at the Masters most of the week until watching with millions of others on Sunday, with a different perspective from most. “It was eerie to me on Sunday because in my mind, this was just a ‘97 repeat. It was incredible,’’ Finchem said Tuesday. “But then I started thinking about it and it’s not that at all. It was very different.’’ Woods was the freight train everyone heard coming in 1997. The most dominant junior ever, he won three straight U.S. Junior Amateurs and three straight U.S. Amateurs. The last one was held the same week as the World Series of Golf at Firestone, and Finchem once recalled how players would watch the U.S. Amateur in the locker room

and wonder what they were in for when Woods turned pro. Within two months, Woods qualified for the Tour Championship by winning twice in seven starts. He won the Tournament of Champions to start the next year. And then he demolished the field and Augusta National like no one had ever seen, making him the first man of colour in a green jacket. It remains his most significant victory because it changed the entire golf landscape. “Golf fans were all into him,’’ Finchem said. “But they hadn’t seen that much of him except for winning tournaments.’’ Now they know a lot more — too much, at times. It’s those 22 years between his first and latest major that make No. 15 the most popular of all. “Between then and now, these people have watched his every move — every difficult challenge, losing his game, coming back, private issues — and so they know a lot

more about him as a person,’’ Finchem said. “People are just over the moon about this. Part of this has to do with how he’s handled himself the last two, three, four years. He’s been a very positive force, a leader among the players, and he’s at another level of interface with millions and millions of fans. “They love to watch him play golf.’’ That much hasn’t changed. Television ratings spiked following that 1997 victory, right when the PGA Tour was negotiating a new television contract. The total prize money on the PGA Tour in 1997 was $70.7 million, and it jumped to $135.8 million under the new TV deal in 1999. This year it’s at $340 million, not including FedEx Cup bonus money. Woods made everyone rich. Ratings still spike whenever he plays. Galleries are larger and louder. It’s been that way since 1997, even during the lean years for Woods when his image was tarnished through tabloid stories of extramarital affairs, when his body began to break down and his glutes didn’t activate, when he returned too soon from his first back surgery and went five years without winning. The appeal never left. When he plays, people want to watch. When he wasn’t playing — Woods went two straight years without a tee time in the majors — the legend grew because all anyone had were memories, and those were far more powerful than anything he showed on the golf course. That’s why his latest Masters victory was so amazing to so many.

Memories became real. The Sunday red shirt was brighter than ever. There was audible excitement in the press building, from a younger generation that had never seen him win a major, from an older generation that thought it might never happen again. It felt for a moment that nothing had changed, when so much has. And in some respects, that makes it even bigger. Woods no longer is invincible. This was his hardest major to win, and not just because he had overcome so much in his life and with his health. Woods had never won a major when so many others had a chance on the back nine. He won because he hit better shots, smarter shots. This was more about execution than mystique. And it was about redemption. Finchem recalled one other moment, at Torrey Pines in 2015 a week after Woods shot 82 in the Phoenix Open, when he was asked if he was worried about Woods. There was concern as a fan because Finchem wanted to see him at his best as he challenged the records for majors (Jack Nicklaus) and career PGA Tour wins (Sam Snead). As a commissioner? Not so much, because everyone was watching. “But now, it occurred to me looking back on it that in many ways, people love to watch him play golf, but they wanted to love him,’’ Finchem said. They missed him. Now they have him back, and for how much longer doesn’t matter as much as it once did.

RATTLERS’ LACROSSE TEAMS GETTING STARTED The Kamloops Rattlers had teams in Thompson Okanagan Minor Lacrosse League action on the weekend. In midget play, Kamloops earned a 17-1 victory over North Okanagan and an 8-3 win over Shuswap. Both games were played in the Tournament Capital. The peewee A Rattlers knocked off visiting North Okanagan 12-1. Recording points for Kamloops were Kieran Thibault (4G), Tyson Von Hollen (2G, 3A), Logan Abel (2G, 1A),

BRIEFS Keaton Thibault, (2G), Spencer Brown (1G), Dane Kinney (1G), Alex Von Hollen (2A) and Ty Richardson (1A). Cloe Rupert made 21 saves between the pipes. The novice 1 Rattlers edged hometown Penticton 10-8. Kamloops goal scorers included Deacon Lockwood, Miller

Horner and Greyson Aderstedt. DOGS’ RESULTS Two 13-and-under Kamloops RiverDogs teams posted matching 2-2 records at the second annual Bring the Heat tournament on the weekend on McArthur Island. RiverDogs White reached the semifinal round, in which it fell 12-3 to North Shore. Game MVPs include Nash Pearce, Jace Koskimaki, Trisztan Bowen and Kale Adams. Central Okanagan Minor Baseball

Association bested RiverDogs Red 11-5 in a consolation-round game. Game MVPs for RiverDogs Red include Hayden Leganchuk, Jack Schultz, Ryder Corsi and Grady Johnson. The Salmon Arm Hornets edged North Shore 3-1 to win the title. ON THE PODIUM The Kamloops Pickleball Club finished its indoor campaign with a tournament, Battle of the Paddle, earlier this month

in Coquitlam. Mitch Mitchell and Joanne Leesing claimed gold in the mixed doubles 3.0 division. Mitchell and Neil Steinke placed first in the men’s mixed doubles 3.0 division. Kristina Lidster, Brent Jackson, Casey Rogers and Matt Stodola also found the podium at the event, which featured about 250 competitors. The club is shifting to outdoor play and will play host to the Kamloops Open on May 25 and May 26 at Riverside Park.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Cherie Ferneda Balison

Andrew Cowie Quirie

March 1, 1929 –April 10, 2019

1928 – 2019

It took him from Winnipeg, MB to Port Coquitlam, BC to McBride, BC, Prince George, BC and then to Smithers, BC where he met the love of his life Marguerite Erickson. They were married on April 8, 1961 and then in March 1965 they moved to Kamloops, BC where they raised their family and he has remained for the last 54 years.

Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Cherie completed her education and married the love of her life Dave. She and Dave soon relocated to Heffley Lake, BC in support of her husband’s family business venture (Balco Sawmill and later Balco Forest Products). Together Cherie and Dave raised their three children in the Kamloops area. Cherie enjoyed travelling with her husband to many different locations around the world. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed baking cookies for her grandchildren. In her pastime, she loved to do crosswords, crocheting and reading. Always pleasant to be around, Cherie is remembered for her kind, unassuming nature. Her kind heart and impeccable refinement will never be forgotten. The family thanks the staff of Kamloops Seniors Village, Dr. Jonathon Wiltshire and Christine and the nursing staff on 4-North of RIH, for their outstanding and compassionate care. Her funeral will held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Kamloops, BC, officiated by Pastor Harold Wiest.
