Biosolids protestors set up Chase roadblock Plan to apply Kamloops biosolids in Turtle Valley has angered some residents; Arrow seeking injunction JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A group of protestors have set up a roadblock in the Turtle Valley, blocking Arrow trucks from accessing land upon which the company plans to apply biosolids from Kamloops. One truck was turned away on Monday morning. Turtle Valley resident Connie Seaward said the group of between eight and 10 people and a few vehicles will continue to allow through local traffic at English Road, located near the Turtle Valley Bison Company, but will block Arrow trucks until the group’s concerns have been addressed. The group also held a protest with between 50 and 60 people outside City Hall in Kamloops on Saturday. “We’re just being ignored,” Seaward told KTW. Arrow was contracted by the city to deal with its biosolids in the short-term, as it continues to work on finding a long-term solution. Arrow initially intended to transport 23,000 tonnes of the city’s biosolids to Talking Rock

Some support for project in community KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

JIM ELLIOT/BLACK PRESS Protestors set up a roadblock near Chase on Monday, turning back at least one Arrow Transport truck. The group behind the roadblock is upset about a plan to apply the City of Kamloops’ biosolids in the Turtle Valley area. Arrow had been contracted to haul and apply the materials. The company was in the process on Tuesday of obtaining an injunction to halt the roadblock.

Golf Course for construction of a nine-hole expansion. Those plans are on hold, however, after the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band

ran into permitting issues. The new plan is to mix the city’s biosolids into an enhanced, nutrient rich soil to reclaim a

piece of previously logged property owned by the Turtle Valley Bison Company.

See POLICE, A12

Not all Turtle Valley residents oppose the application of biosolids in the area. Chase resident Leo Lenglet said that when he received a petition from residents in opposition, he noted alarming information. He said the petition alleged industrial waste in the city’s biosolids and called them “toxic.” Lenglet said he and a handful of other residents travelled to Kamloops for a tour of the city’s wastewater treatment plant, leading him to believe the group is using misinformation to make its point. He is worried fellow residents are being “manipulated by the opposition rhetoric” and said that while there is stigma surrounding biosolids, he supports Arrow’s project. “Biosolids are actually a good thing for the land,” Lenglet said.

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

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

A Kamloops man died following a single-vehicle rollover crash on Heffley-Louis Creek Road near Sun Peaks on Monday. Emergency crews responded to the scene just after 8:30 a.m. about two kilometres east of Lake Bay Road, where a cement

truck was found on its roof in a ditch. Kamloops Fire Rescue Platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper said paramedics couldn’t access the middle-aged male driver, so firefighters extracted him from the vehicle and brought him up to the road where he was pronounced dead. It’s not clear how the crash

occurred, but Cooper said witnesses described the truck leaving the road on its own. “It wasn’t a collision with anybody,” Cooper said. Police and coroners will be investigating the death. Single vehicle alternating traffic was moving through the area when KFR left the scene at about 10 a.m., Cooper said.

Amid backlash, city’s proposed street performer fee will not be mandatory But Kamloops Arts Council maintains program would ultimately benefit artists JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Arts Council is backtracking on a proposed street performer program. Executive director Terri Hadwin said public feedback has revealed the policy needs to be fleshed out, with more consultation and research needed. The arts council and the city have been meeting with business improvement associations and will continue to meet with others. A revised policy is not expected until at least this fall. For starters, however, Hadwin said policy verbiage has changed to no longer make the program mandatory. “We wanted to make sure that everybody felt that we weren’t excluding everybody,” Hadwin said of the change. Last month, KTW reported on the city’s proposed street performer policy to regulate buskers in Kamloops. The city said the policy followed last year’s inaugural International Buskers Festival. City events supervisor Sean Smith said the Kamloops Arts Council wanted street performers differentiated from panhandlers. “The idea is to have the arts council vet the applications from performers,” Smith said, noting the proposal would have performers pay a Kamloops Arts Council membership fee of $30, in addition to a $10 street-performing fee. Vetted performers would be given identification proving they met the requirements of arts council. “Then, when they are out on the street performing and not just panhandling, bylaws officers will be able to distinguish those who are acceptable or not and it just keeps policing and enforcement of it a little more streamlined,” Smith said.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE A busker who goes by the name Willow was playing Neil Young classics outside the Brock Shopping Centre in 2009. The City of Kamloops has reversed course on a controversial proposal that could have seen buskers charged a fee to play.

“It also encourages high quality of street performers to take up the trade on our streets, giving some ambience and atmosphere

on downtown streets.” Hadwin said performers would apply to the arts council via an application form but noted

“we aren’t here to judge who is qualified and who is not.” Part of public criticism with the proposed policy is in who gets to decide what is and is not art. The city’s draft policy states the purpose of the regulation is to “allow the growth of street performers while being able to regulate performers based on their qualifications and enforce the regulations set out in the street performer policy and guidelines.” It also notes content may vary by performance and that the city “encourages a wide variety of street entertainment and provides permits according to performance type and content on a case-by-case basis.” Hadwin said the implication the arts council would be evaluating performers based on quality was “miscommunication on the city’s behalf.” The Kamloops Arts Council maintains it supports all artists and art forms, stating a street performer program would increase abilities, accessibility and rights of artists, not inhibit them. Asked about other changes to the proposed policy, Hadwin noted possible tweaking to the proposed permit hours, which in the draft policy are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. No concrete changes were noted. “More consultation and more research needs to be done before we bring that policy back to the table,” she said. The fees are apparently here to stay for now, but Hadwin said performers unable to pay for arts council memberships will be able to apply for a hardship bursary. Hadwin said artists through the program would have the ability to better market themselves and be part of a buskers database, which could in turn get them future work.

SD73 passes $182M budget MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson school board budget passed Monday includes money to address the district’s aging facilities, mental health and math. Highlighting the budget are two new full-time positions to deal with aging infrastructure — a capital projects manager and an assistant operations manager. For 2019-2020, School District 73 will hire another full-time

school and family consultant, and a part-time healthy relationships co-ordinator. The district is also increasing funding for professional development in numeracy for teachers and will have a resource teacher previously focused on literacy reallocated to focus on math. “Numeracy is again an area where we have demonstrated concern over the last several years,” superintendent Alison Sidow told the board. Math skills in the district

haven’t had the same level of progress as reading and writing, Sidow said. SD73 is adding new maintenance positions — an assistant manager of operations to provide support to the evening shift custodians and a capital projects manager to plan and implement the growing number of district capital projects. “We know we have many facility pressures as a result of class size and composition and because our facilities are aging,” Sidow said.

place on Sunday in Kelowna’s Kerry Park in front of dozens of bystanders. The baby was not harmed. Nyren, 30, is from Calgary and played this season for a professional hockey team in France.

Kamloops This Week was honoured multiple times over the weekend at the B.C. and Yukon Community NewsMedia Association’s Ma Murray Awards gala in Richmond. KTW marketing co-ordinator Tara Holmes earned the community service award for her work on the Timeraiser project — a unique community event that pays local artists to create works which are then auctioned off to community members who bid not with money, but with volunteer hours spent working for local groups. This newspaper also placed

third in general excellence in the largest circulation category — with judges describing KTW as “a consistently high quality paper in service of their community” — behind the North Shore News and the Peace Arch News. KTW photographer Allen Douglas earned bronze for sports photography in the over 25,000 circulation category for a fantastic shot of a local rugby game, placing behind entries from the Penticton Western News and the Peace Arch News. In addition, KTW editor Christopher Foulds was honoured with a Silver Quill award for 25 years of dedicated service in the community news industry.

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE

pril 21 was the 49th annual Earth Day. If you didn’t notice, you’re not the only one. Earth Day hasn’t had much of a profile in recent years, which is a little odd, considering the effects of climate change are increasingly obvious and pronouncements about its effects are increasingly dire. Let’s face it, the changes we would have to make in our society to deal with climate change are unpopular, and that’s not just the carbon tax. It’s a lot easier to not believe in climate change, because then we don’t have to give up the easy life and cheap items manufactured overseas. Decades ago, experts predicted we would run out of fossil fuels, but it hasn’t happened and we’re just digging deeper. At this point, we’ll have destroyed the climate that makes the earth livable before we run out of oil. The problem seems to be convincing people that something needs to change, both the climate change deniers and the rest of us who are too unmotivated to change. But if we could convince more people to understand the facts of the situation — like the last five years being the five hottest on record and that Canada is warming twice as fast of the rest of the world — maybe we would be motivated. But as long as there are those who deny the facts, spreading false claims that fly in the face of reality, it’s going to be hard to convince enough people to instigate change. It’s always easier to believe the option that doesn’t require you to commit. We can probably survive for longer but this planet isn’t going to be the same beautiful place we like to think of it as. Catastrophic climate events are going to be more common, life is going to be harder. It would be better to start changing now and steer our path into a new way of living, rather than being forced to accept even harsher changes in coming decades. We won’t destroy the planet. Nature will probably just start over, maybe with insects, after we’ve killed ourselves off. Let’s not let another Earth Day pass by in silence. Black Press

Court action horror show

his column has given credit where credit is due to B.C. Attorney General David Eby. Faced with billion-dollar deficits at the Insurance Corp. of B.C., Eby has capped “pain and suffering” awards and moved minor injuries out of court to administrative hearings. Naturally, the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. is suing the province in an effort to prevent the loss of the hugely increased income its members have extracted from ICBC, partly due to aggressive U.S.-style personal injury tactics adopted by B.C. lawyers. The association’s lawsuit notes that the average ICBC “pain and suffering” payout for 2016 was $16,499, which is “almost exactly three times the cap” legislated by the B.C. NDP government. Now $5,500 is all you can get, and ICBC is back on its way to solvency after a $1 billion bailout from B.C. taxpayers that was included in this year’s B.C. budget. The election of Jason Kenney as Alberta premier highlights another one of Eby’s legal adventures, one that isn’t going so well. B.C. now has lawyers working on two separate Alberta cases. One is arguing that B.C. should be able to regulate petroleum shipments from Alberta (diluted bitumen), and the other suggests that Alberta should not be able to restrict shipments of petroleum to B.C. (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel).

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA Outgoing NDP premier Rachel Notley passed the “turn off the taps” law but didn’t enact it. Eby rushed his team into court to argue that it’s an unconstitutional infringement on trade, but alas, their case was tossed out. Come back when there’s an actual law in place, Eby was told. With Kenney in the Alberta premier’s office, that will be soon, and B.C. pump prices will likely be headed towards $2 a litre. In 2018, the original Trans Mountain pipeline shipped more than half its volume as crude to Washington state refineries, with smaller shares to the Burnaby refinery and Westridge terminal for export. The smallest share of pipeline space is refined fuels to B.C., and it’s a safe bet that will get smaller. B.C. may have to buy jet fuel from Asia. As taxpayers absorbed that billing, B.C.’s bid for jurisdiction over heavy crude shipments from Alberta carries on. It’s a “reference case,” basically asking the B.C. Court of Appeal for advice rather than a ruling.

It’s a pathetic little show for anti-pipeline voters, according to Notley, and she’s polite about it compared to Kenney. Now comes the threat of legal action by a group of social services agencies, whose union employees are getting raises three times as big as their nonunion workers. In some cases this happens within the same contracted agency, running care facilities for developmentally disabled children and adults. The B.C. CEO Network, a Prince George-based group representing more than 120 of these agencies, has served Finance Minister Carole James with notice that if this sweetheart deal with the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and other NDP-friendly unions isn’t fixed, they will go to court. In a statement released with their lawyer’s letter, the B.C. CEO Network board notes that 17,000 employees are affected. The network represents union, non-union and partially union agencies, which report their wage payments through the Community Social Services Employers Association every year. Premier John Horgan claimed the “low wage redress” money was withheld from nonunion employees because their bosses might keep it without a union contract to set pay. Eby’s likely going to need more lawyers to defend that statement. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BIOSOLIDS DUMP IS LEGAL: ARROW Editor: Re: Margaret Fryatt’s letters of April 18 (‘Turtle Valley biosolids plan should not proceed’) and April 22 (‘Biosolids in Kamloops should not be Turtle Valley’s problem’): We recognize there will always be a diversity of opinions on innovative initiatives like the project at the Turtle Valley Bison Ranch. We respect people’s rights to express their views, even if they’re not ones we share. However, Ms. Fryatt and those who actively oppose the project continue to make statements and claims we would like to address. Arrow regularly evaluates biosolids opportunities, looking at things like topography, water and air quality and transportation impacts to determine whether the proposed project is a good fit. Most are not. The company does not take on projects that cannot be done responsibly and safely. Many Arrow employees live in this community and region too and share Turtle Valley residents’ interest in ensuring the health and wellness of land, water and people. Let us clear up confusion about our 777-dry-tons-per-hectare application rate. Ms. Fryatt and others speculate we are planning to apply biosolids in amounts that greatly exceed those permitted in other jurisdictions.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Protestors demonstrated outside Kamloops City Hall on Saturday in opposition to a plan to apply the city’s biosolids in Turtle Valley.

This ongoing apples-to-oranges comparison implies our project and B.C.’s regulations governing the beneficial reuse of biosolids are irresponsible, inadequate, and unsafe. So why is there a 22-dry-tonsper-hectare limit in Ontario and we’re planning to apply 777 dry tons at Turtle Valley? Because the type of biosolids project determines the application rate. The often-cited limits for Ontario, Holland, Denmark, and Manitoba are for year-after-year, direct-surface applications where the project objectives are to fertilize crops and improve the soil’s organic matter and suitability for sewing seeds. At the Turtle Valley site, our objective is to build a productive

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Do you support the plan to apply Kamloops biosolids in Turtle Valley? Are you opposed to the idea based on potential risk, like those who set up a roadblock in the area on Monday? We want to know what you think. Email a letter to editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com.

soil on land that is rocky glacial till, was previously forested and recently logged, and is low in organic matter and fertility. We are not fertilizing an existing crop through direct surface application of biosolids on a regular basis. Instead, we are turning

disturbed, non-agricultural land into healthy agricultural land, by making and applying a fabricated soil. This soil, comprising nine-per cent biosolids, will provide nutrients and organic matter to the existing mineral soil in order to establish and sustain a perennial grass pasture. This fabricated soil enables nutrients to release slowly over time, meaning the site will not require additional fertilization for five or more years. This is a responsible and safe biosolids project with significant support. Our project at the Turtle Valley Bison Ranch is designed to meet rigorous regulatory standards and has the backing and support of many. We continue to work diligently to keep the community informed about what we are doing and produce a project newsletter which anyone can access at nutrigrow. ca/resources. We appreciate Ms. Fryatt taking the time to write and share her opinions.

DO WE TRUST HORGAN ON GAS PRICES? Editor: I can’t help but wonder how many British Columbians are as confident as I am of our premier, John Horgan, assuring us that he is “looking into” B.C.’s high gas prices for possible “gouging.” Are we also confident that he is monitoring the situation in the U.S. Pacific Northwest where the state of Washington has just declared it is abolishing the antiquated twice-annual time change, and will he be following suit — as many people seem to desire — any time soon?

It offered to contribute that money toward a more permanent facility. Christian said cost of a public washroom is about a quarter of a million dolHappy Family Day lars.

“Are we going to spend a quarter of a million dollars of taxpayers money because it’s more convenient for people six months of the year?” he said. “That’s a question that has to be asked.” The city is also installing a public washroom down the road on Victoria Street. Last year, the market had about 100 vendors and 5,000 visitors.

Police expect roadblock to remain until injunction

The same group of protestors that set up a roadblock Monday near Chase was responsible for a demonstration outside Kamloops City Hall on Saturday. Members of the group have said they are concerned about the potential problems a large-scale biosolids dumping project could cause in Turtle Valley. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

From A1

That plan rankled some area residents, who organized, openly opposed the plan and have since taken matters further — including Saturday’s protest and Monday’s roadblock. Arrow Environmental Services regional manager Jeff Mayer said police were notified about the roadblock. “They intend to block the transporting company from going down the road; they’re allowing local traffic through and they said it’s their intention to stay there until an injunction is served upon them to move,” said Chase RCMP Sgt. Barry Kennedy, adding that if an injunction is served, he doesn’t see there being any issues. Arrow is in the process of seeking an injunction, KTW has learned. The company has been doing preparatory work on the Turtle Valley site to which it has been blocked, mixing biosolids with native soils to create a final product that is nine per cent biosolids and can provide nutrients to the ground for several years. Arrow noted the project has been thoroughly vetted and approved by the Ministry of Environment. “Arrow respects that there’s a diversity of opinions on projects like this and we respect individual opinion,” Mayer said. “But, at the end of the day, we do have obligations that we need to meet for our partner, contractually.” Asked if he is concerned, Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said city hall is always concerned when people protest. But, he said, part of the city’s contract with Arrow requires the company to comply with the law. “Whatever their concerns are, they have to be sorted out in accordance with the law related to biosolid applications,” Christian said. The mayor reached out to protesters on Monday and Seaward said she is waiting on more information requested about testing and impacts on waterways. Mayer said application won’t follow for at least a month or two. All the soil the company has been mixing needs to first be tested. “We’re just going to keep pushing forward,” he said.

A pair of city councillors are talking public discourse in a new podcast, which launched last week. Arjun Singh and Kathy Sinclair are behind the new monthly show Kamloops Councillors Talk About Civility, which is available online via Sound Cloud. Singh said he values diverse opinions and wants to promote civility, with negativity removed from the debate. He said he has had success in the past addressing the issue of negativity head on, reminding people there is a human on the other side of the computer or phone. “The podcast is kind of one way, not the only way, of talking about those issues and talking about how it’s important, how effective, good collaborative dialogue can be,” Singh said. Sinclair said she has noticed public dialogue decreasing since she was elected. She said social media triggers emotional responses and allows people to react quickly, often resulting in anger. Thompson Rivers University journalism professor Charles Hays said Canada’s public discourse in 2019 stems from political divisions in the United States, which are increasingly mirrored north of the border. He noted negative debate in the recent Alberta leadership race and said sunny ways touted by Justin Trudeau during the last federal election did not last. It’s also a sign of the times and how technology has changed. Hays said letters to the editor HAYS take time to consider, write and send before they are edited and published — or may not run at all — but today people can post anonymously and immediately. Hays wished Kamloops councillors success with the new podcast, but questioned whether the message will reach its intended audience or add fuel to the fire. Sinclair said the councillors are not trying to tell people how to behave, but rather offer pointers about how messages can be heard more effectively. “It’s like any conversation,” Sinclair said. “If you come at somebody yelling, your message may not be received.” Asked what can be done to improve public discourse, Hays said it will be up to the willing to conduct themselves with civility inside their circles and hold to account those who do not. “Everybody has a right to their opinion,” Hays said. “We also don’t have a right to everybody else’s opinion.”

Doors open on Delta following $9M renovation Formerly Hotel 540, building closed last fall prior to rebranding as Delta Kamloops JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rocky Mountaineer guests were welcomed into a renovated hotel space in downtown Kamloops on Friday and the hotel will open to the public as the Delta Kamloops in about one month’s time. Friday marked a soft opening, after Hotel 540 closed in the fall to undergo an extensive makeover and reopen under the Delta brand and parent company Marriott. The final renovation bill totalled more than $9 million. “It’s almost a complete transformation,” general manager Bryan Pilbeam said. Local flair permeates the lobby, from the brown, sage and blue colour scheme in honour of the city’s rolling hills and rivers to a new “wine library” boasting sips from regional wineries, including Monte Creek Ranch Winery. The lobby watering hole is intended to become a destination bar, also featuring craft cocktails and beer, such as Iron Road and Red Collar.

Gone is the former Blue Dining + Lounge, replaced by a grab-and-go style restaurant called Cordo — short for cordillera, another regional nod. The restaurant will serve Starbucks throughout the day — not just the coffee, but also most of fancier drinks — and pastries and breakfast sandwiches in the morning. Upstairs, the rooms were gutted and given new beds, countertops, lighting, 55-inch televisions and local artwork. “They’re really bright and completely brand new,” Pilbeam said. On Friday, the hotel will host the Kamloops Food Bank’s fourth annual Empty Bowls fundraiser, when artisan bowls signed by celebrities will be auctioned off in support of the local non-profit. Among this year’s autographed bowls is one signed by Canadian musician Randy Bachman. Pilbeam said the event, which is sold out, will be the first opportunity for the public to check out the new space.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Renovations are complete at the Delta Kamloops, formerly Hotel 540 on Victoria Street, including a new lounge and restaurant.

BURNABY — The 71-year-old man who defied a court injunction and climbed a towering tree in Burnaby to protest the Trans Mountain pipeline plans to end his day-long protest soon, but said more demonstrations will follow. Terry Christenson said RCMP arrived at the base of the tree inside the Westridge Marine Terminal on Tuesday, advised him of his rights and explained they were prepared to climb the tree to arrest him. Christenson said he staged a similar protest and was arrested last year at the height of rallies against plans to triple the capacity of bitumen through the pipeline.

The trained climber said he is prepared to descend from his perch, 30 metres above the ground, rather than risk the safety of the officers ordered to make the arrest. He said his demonstration is a renewed awareness of the strong opposition to expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline that stretches from the Edmonton-area to Burnaby. Work on expansion of the pipeline was suspended in August when the Federal Court of Appeal found First Nations were not adequately consulted and that the National Energy Board failed to consider the marine shipping impacts. The federal government purchased the pipeline from Kinder Morgan Canada for $4.5-billion last year in order to ensure

Vancouver city council approves two per cent tax shift to homeowners CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — City councillors in Vancouver have ignored staff advice and voted to shift some of the city’s tax burden from businesses to homeowners. Council voted Monday night to pass two per cent of the commercial tax load on to homeowners. The shift will be phased in over three years, with the first bump of one per cent added to homeowner’s tax bills by July. Increases of .5 per cent will be added to residential taxes in 2020 and 2021. A staff report urged councillors not to impose the measure, saying the blanket 2 per cent shift would

cut property taxes for all commercial properties, from tiny corner stores to large multi-national chains, regardless of need. But Michelle Barile, with the West Broadway Business Improvement Association, told council that 75 stores had closed along that busy corridor since 2015, and many of those businesses blamed the soaring tax load. “We should put up a sign that said, ‘Sorry, we’re dead’ because that’s what it looks like right now,’’ Barile told council. City documents show commercial and non-residential properties pay a 45.3 per cent share of Vancouver taxes, while residential properties pay 54.7 per cent.

B.C. labour code changes to promote ‘harmonious’ relations, minister says CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — British Columbia plans to change the province’s labour code in an effort to provide greater protections for workers and stability for employers. Labour Minister Harry Bains said the proposed changes to the Labour Relations Code aim to ensure stronger protection of collective bargaining rights and promote more durable labour relations between employers and unions. B.C.’s labour code was established in 1973 and Bains said it hasn’t

undergone a major public review since 1992. A three-member panel appointed in February 2018 reviewed the labour code and made 29 recommendations. Bains said amendments will retain secret ballot votes for union certifications, but will give the Labour Relations Board broader discretion to impose union certification if an employer is found to have interfered in the process. Changes will also extend union contract successorship protection to service contracts re-tendered.

Street clashes erupt; uprising in Venezuela ASSOCIATED PRESS

CARACAS, Venezuela — Anti-government World News demonstrators clashed with troops loyal to Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro at an air base in the capital hours after opposition leader Juan Guaido took to the streets in a bold and risky attempt to lead a military uprising against the embattled socialist. The early-morning rebellion seems to have only limited military support. But it was by far the most-serious challenge yet to Maduro’s rule since Guaido, with the backing of the U.S. and dozens of other countries, declared himself the country’s interim president in January in rejection of a government he accused of stealing last year’s presidential election. The dramatic events began early Tuesday when Guaido, flanked by a few dozen national guardsmen and some armoured crowd control vehicles, released a three-minute video filmed near a Caracas air base in which he called on civilians and others in the armed forces to join a final push to topple Maduro.

Japanese emperor abdicates in palace

TOKYO — Japanese Emperor Akihito announced his abdication at a palace ceremony Tuesday in his final address, as the nation embraced the end of his reign with reminiscence and hope for a new era. “Today, I am concluding my duties as the emperor,’’ Akihito said as he stood in front of the throne, as other members of the royal family and top government officials watched. “Since ascending the throne 30 years ago, I have performed my duties as the emperor with a deep sense of trust in and respect for the people, and I consider myself most fortunate to have been able to do so. I sincerely thank the people who accepted and supported me in my role as the symbol of the state,’’ Akihito said in his last official duty as emperor.

Kenney takes power in Alberta CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Former federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney was officially sworn in on Tuesday as Alberta’s premier and he repeated his campaign promise to bring renewed economic prosperity to the province. “We will focus relentlessly on creating good jobs, growing the economy and building pipelines — west, east and south — to get our products to market,’’ he said after the official ceremony at Government House in Edmonton. “We have many more commitments to keep — 375 to be precise — and we are eager to get to work today.’’ The United Conservative leader becomes the 18th person to head the province’s government. Kenney has also taken on the role of intergovernment relations in what is expected to be a battle with the federal

public servants and teachers. We even have some lawyers.’’ Travis Toews, a rookie member of the legislature from Grande Prairie-Wapiti, is the new finance minister. He was a chartered accountant and rancher before getting into politics. Calgary lawyer Doug Schweitzer, who ran against Kenney for the UCP leadership, is the new minister of justice. Veteran legislature members Ric McIver and Jason Nixon have also been given cabinet posts — McIver in transportation and Nixon in the key environment and parks portfolio. Calgary lawyer Sonya Savage is the new energy minister and Red Deer Catholic school trustee Adriana Lagrange is the new education minister.

China sentences another Canadian to death penalty ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — A court in southern China handed down sentences Tuesday to at least six foreigners involved in an international methamphetamine operation, including a Canadian given the death penalty. The Jiangmen Intermediate People’s Court in southern Guangdong province sentenced 11 people who produced more than 139 pounds of methamphetamine, an illegal drug. Among them were one American and four Mexicans, who were all given life sentences or death sentences suspended by a period of two years. The court statement did not make clear which individual received what sentence, nor did it give their full names. The Canadian sentenced to death was identified as “Fan Wei,’’ but it was unclear whether that was the person’s legal name. A person identified as Wu Ziping, whose nationality was not specified, was also handed a death sentence. The sentence is likely to further strain Sino-Canadian relations, which have frayed since Canada arrested a Chinese tech executive last December at the

request of the U.S. Since then, China has detained two Canadians and delayed some Canadian exports in apparent retaliation. Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland called the death sentence cruel and inhumane. “We’ve very concerned about this sentence,’’ Freeland said. According to the court, Fan Wei and Wu conspired to manufacture and sell the drugs in 2012, and brought the others — described as “drug-making technicians’’ — on board. Between July and November of that year, the court said, the group set up a “den’’ in Guangdong’s Taishan city, where they produced and sold more than 63 kilograms of methamphetamine and 365.9 grams of dimethyl amphetamine. A court employee reached by phone declined to give further details on the case. In a separate drug smuggling case, China sentenced Canadian Robert Lloyd Schellenberg to death in a sudden retrial in January — one month after Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained on vague national security allegations.

In their last budget, the Liberals announced plans to turn the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, the Crown corporation responsible for screening people and baggage, into an independent, not-for-profit agency. Transport Minister Marc Garneau said the new model will benefit the travelling public. The National Airlines Council of Canada, which represents the country’s four largest carriers, tells MPs on the House of Commons transport committee today that the government expects the new system to be in place by next April. However, the council said, many important questions still need to be answered. The council said it is unclear on how the government arrived at the figure.

Wine Festival slated to kick off next month JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Take a sip of Syrah and dip your paint brush into some cab sauv. Painting with wine is apparently like painting with watercolour. Boil down and reduce some red — don’t worry, not the pricey stuff — dip a paint brush into some water and let the creative juices flow. “I did a flower last year and it was a big flower, like an open rose, and the depth we were able to get with just one colour and just different tones, it just blew me away,” Kamloops Art Gallery fundraising events co-ordinator Judy Basso said. “I couldn’t believe it. It was so much fun.” Painting with Wine will be among the events featured at the 21st annual Kamloops Wine Festival, one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Kamloops Art Gallery. The festival will run from May 24 through June 1 at various venues in Kamloops. Basso said the festival offers something for everybody’s wine glass and wallet. Painting with Wine — which is on Thursday, May 30, at the Kamloops Art Gallery — costs $5, while an eight-course meal with wine pairings on Monday, May 27, at the Brownstone restaurant, dubbed Farmed and Foraged Feast, costs $90 per person plus tax and gratuity. The popular Grand Wine Tasting Party returns to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre ballroom on Saturday, June 1, capping off the week-long festival with about 50 wineries serving up everything from patio wine to pallet preferences and local pours. Save-On-Foods, Uptown Chefs and more will provide snacks, while the Dave Coalmine Trio will entertain attendees. Money raised from the events will support KAG exhibitions. The goal is to raise about $25,000. “Art is such an integral part of our community,” Basso said. “I can’t even imagine what our world would be like without

DAVE EAGLES/KTW The Kamloops Wine Festival held a preview event last week, about a month before the festival is slated to kick off on May 24. The festival features a variety of events at venues throughout the city. For more information or for tickets, go online to kac.bc.ca.

art. All forms — singing, dancing, clothing, makeup, hairstyles. Art is something that challenges us, something that just entertains us. There’s all different kinds of ways that art is so important in our lives.” Returning from two years ago to the festival this year is a Western Canada Theatre fundraiser called Wine Bluff. The evening of food, wine and entertainment will be hosted at Colombo Lodge. WCT artistic director James MacDonald

will quiz three wine professionals who will describe wines — a Riesling that smells like dirty socks or tennis balls, perhaps? — with attendees sipping along, trying to guess who is telling the truth. Teams are encouraged and tables of six will receive a discount. Tickets are $92.50 or $500 for a table of six. MacDonald said the fundraiser comes at a time when Western Canada Theatre has taken a hit financially, after having to move

productions from the temporarily shuttered Sagebrush Theatre to the Coast. “We had to refit the entire theatre with sound, lights, dressing rooms, adaptations to the set, overtime for all the production staff,” MacDonald said. “That was a big expense for us. And, of course, there is a loss of revenue from the box office. We run the KLBO [Kamloops Live Box Office] and because of the events we had to cancel at the Sagebrush,

we do face a shortfall of box office projection because of that and the loss of those events.” Basso said the Kamloops Art Gallery will continue to accept silent auction items, should locals wish to donate. For tickets to the festival events, go online to kac.bc.ca. Monte Creek Ranch Winery, Privato Winery and Sagewood Winery will also be donating their tasting fees during the wine festival to the fundraiser.

When I arrived in Kamloops in 1987, my initial work was with the Kamloops Food Bank and women in low-income households. It was during this time that community kitchens were launched as a means to stretch the food dollar and Kamloops This Week covered those stories, announcing the new program in Kamloops. (I still have the newspaper clippings.) Building on the success of community kitchens and wanting to increase access to fresh, healthy food, the community garden program was expanded in the early 1990s. At that time, there was only one community garden on Tranquille Road. Today, there are 18 in the city and on the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc reserve.In 1994, farmers, non-profits, churches, community members, antipoverty groups and local government came together for a first

time ever, meeting at the Food Day Forum. Then-mayor Cliff Branchflower opened the day and our goal was to increase food security for all Kamloops residents. In 1995, I helped create the country’s first grassroots food policy council, which created many programs and partnerships, including Gardengate Training Centre, Kamloops Food Share and Public Produce. One of the greatest successes was achieved in 2015 with creation of the Food and Urban Plan for the City of Kamloops. This put Kamloops on the map as the first community in British Columbia to have a food policy. A more recent success is the Gleaning Abundance program, in which volunteers venture out and pick fruit from trees that would have otherwise gone to waste. The recycled fruit is now being used in a Popcycle social enterprise, with the fruit being used to make popsicles for local events. More recently, through a

strong research partnership with Thompson Rivers University, the Nourish conference was held, with household food insecurity the focus. I joined others in starting this work in 1987 and find we are now coming full circle, with many more players at the table — from a half-dozen in 1987 to a conference room of more than 80 in March. It has been a major highlight of mine to see the momentum around food security continue and to know my vision of Kamloops achieving food security will be carried on by the Kamloops Food Policy Council and the amazing leadership of all the groups in town. All of this work during the past three decades has created long-lasting projects and legacies. I want to thank the support of local media for getting the word out, the City of Kamloops for all its support and the people of Kamloops for their enthusiasm and willingness to embrace food action over the years.

District Governor wants to see communities thrive

hen Sherry Chamberlain joined Rotary in 1999, it was only her second experience with a volunteer organization, after bring involved with Crime Stoppers. “Before that, I didn’t know anything about volunteer work, I wasn’t even that interested in doing anything beyond things for myself and things for work,” she said. Signing up with Rotary changed all that. “I discovered a whole family of people and collaboration of efforts from incredible volunteers that just want to make their city better, and make their community grow and thrive, and help youth and help seniors,” Chamberlain said. Now, 20 years later, Chamberlain is the governor for District 5060, which consists of 57 Rotary clubs in the United States and British Columbia. “Being a district governor means being the direct repre-

sentative of the Rotary clubs, and the assistant governors, to Rotary International,” she explained. “And Rotary International is over 330,000 rotary clubs in the world. “And so there’s all these different levels that help manage rotary worldwide.” Over the years Chamberlain has been involved in a number of Rotary projects, but she pointed to a few that she’s the most proud of. “My proudest moments have been the work in Thailand helping the children of the Golden Triangle,” she said. “They’re basically the hill tribe girls that get protected from getting taken into the sex trade. And so we were involved for many years, our club specifically with helping to build a community for these girls, to be safe, and to be educated in a safe place.” As far as local projects, she pointed to her work getting Rotary involved with the

Family Tree Family Resource Center in Kamloops. Looking to the future, Chamberlain said she’d like to continue working on Rotary’s youth-focused programs “I would like to get going a junior RYLA program, which is Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, and have a junior component to this where we sponsor young kids to go to a camp, and we teach them leadership skills, and teach them about rotary and help build their confidence,” she said. Chamberlain was quick to note that it took more than her own work to bring the conference together and thanked her key conference executives Carol Tennessy, Anna Harrison, Cindy Piva and Suzanne McCloy. “We and the rest of the committee that composes of about 30 members from all five Rotary clubs in this area will be putting on the most fantastic conference,” Chamberlain said.

o, what is Rotary? That is a difficult question to answer because Rotary is involved in so many different things. The common perception is that Rotarians are an exclusive group of Old, Rich, White, Men that own businesses, play golf, drink cognac and smoke cigars. Rotarians actually think of themselves as beauty queen contestants that speak of world peace and solving world hunger. And that’s actually closer to the truth, but most do not wear tiaras or formal evening gowns. Rotarians generally are common folk that are interested in making the world a better place. Some own businesses, but that is not a requirement. They come in all colours such as white, red, brown or black. Both men and women belong and in many clubs, it’s half and half. While it’s true that many Rotarians are old, it’s only because they joined when they were younger and had so much fun they just never quit. There are lots of Rotarians in their 20s and 30s. There are 34,000 Rotary Clubs around the world, in 200 different countries or regions with a total of 1.2 million members. Rotarians work on local projects such as parks, food banks, helping with literacy, helping youth and many different things. On the International front, Rotary is helping people in many countries with clean drinking water and sanitation, schooling, peace, etc. Rotary clubs around the world work with each other to ensure that the services delivered are exactly what is needed. That is, we will partner with a Rotary Club in Ethiopia to work on the clean water project their. And we believe in sustainability. If we teach the locals how to do the work, they will be able to help themselves long after Rotary has finished the project. Rotary is an upside down organization. That is, each club is independent and decide what projects or causes they want to be involved in instead of being mandated from head office on how to operate. This gives Rotary clubs a lot of strength.

SALUTE TO ROTARY IN KAMLOOPS DISTRICT CONFERENCE 2019

Rotary Club of Kamloops working to change stereotypes

rad Serl, president of the Rotary Club of Kamloops, wants to try to break some of the stigma attached to the organization. “The big thing that that we hear all the time is some version of Rotary is male, pale and stale,” he said. “It’s old conservative white dudes that do left wing things. And that’s not the case anymore.” Rotary District 5060, of which Serl’s club is a part, is certainly a testament to a more progressive Rotary — current district governor Shirley Chamberlain is the first Canadian woman to hold the position. “Having women in leadership roles is something that’s very important to us,” Serl said. “Because we want our club to best represent the entire population. So it can’t just be one side or the other, it has to be about working together.” So why should someone look to join a Rotary Club? According to Serl, one big reason is that it’s fun. “Getting involved in a good cause with good people and

Rotary members in the kitchen at NorKam secondary volunteering to cook dinner for families suffering from food insecurity at the Christopher Seguin Rotary Family Dinner.

having a good time doing it makes volunteering rather effortless,” he said. It’s also a great way to give back to the community, and many of the Rotary Club of Kamloops’ projects revolve around food security. There are the Christopher Seguin Rotary Family Dinners that are held at Norkam secondary every few weeks.

There’s also the Starfish Backpack Program, which provides a backpack full of food for kids with food insecurities so they have access to healthy meals over the weekend. The club is also involved in the Food Bank food drive that takes place twice a year. “If you’re not feeding hungry kids, you’re doing some-

thing wrong,” Serl said. Even their fundraising projects lean toward involvement with food, like Chefs in the City, an event which showcases some of the great food and drink options available in Kamloops. The 2019 event will host 21 local restaurants and caterers, as well as 10 local wineries and breweries.

With a current membership of 56, Serl says the Rotary Club of Kamloops is always on the lookout for new members. Interested parties can drop by one of their lunch meetings at Storms on the River to find out more about the club. “Come check us out,” Serl said. “You don’t have to marry us after the first date.

“If you’re looking for new friends, new to the community and want to get a social group going, as I as I did when I got here, or want to give back, it’s an excellent venue.” Rotary Club of Kamloops We meet Mondays at 12:00 PM Storms on the River 1502 River Street

Kamloops West is out feeding the community W ith a membership of about 70 people, the Rotary Club of Kamloops West is one of the city’s larger clubs. “We’ve had quite a few new members over the last two years,” explained president Gwen Ginter. “Membership was starting to go down, but it’s been pretty steady.” And, like all Rotary clubs, Kamloops West is knee deep in projects to improve their community — regardless of what their membership numbers look like. One of those projects is the annual Seniors’ Dinner that the club

hosts in February. Tickets to the free meal are distributed to about 300 seniors throughout the community. “Our club cooks the food and provides a night of entertainment for seniors,” Ginter said. “We’ve been doing that for over 30 years.” The seniors dinner is currently held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, though in the past it has taken place at Desert Gardens and the United Church. Though they didn’t originate it, they’re also involved with the PIT Stop Program, a free dinner held at the United Church every Sunday.

Rotary West handles the dinner four times a year, which means purchasing the food, preparation and service, and then cleaning up at the end of the meal. The club is also involved in the Boys and Girls Club Power Start program, which helps children who may be experiencing challenges with food sustainability or getting to school on time get a positive start to their day, with a nutritious breakfast and help with preparing for school. It’s hard to do this sort of work without the funds to do it and, as such, Kamloops West has a few fun-

draisers that they’re known for in the community. One is the golf and restaurant cards that they sell every year. Cards offer two-for-one meals at local restaurants or two-for-one greens fees at local golf courses. The club is also hosting the Iron Sommelier event this year, which they previously put together with the Rotary Club of Kamloops. It’s a tasting dinner featuring gourmet food and wine. The Rotary Club of Kamloops West has a healthy membership but, according to Ginter, their doors are

always open to potential new members. And, she says, there’s a lot to be gained from membership. “It’s a way of getting involved in fundraising projects,” she said. “Events that effect the community where you get to interact with people and see the people you’re assisting, and I love to do that.”

DISTRICT CONFERENCE 2019

RibFest and CrabFest are iconic Kamloops Daybreak events

f you’re a fan of the annual RibFest event in Kamloops, then you can thank the Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak for bringing it to life. “I would say that if you asked 100 people, probably 75 of them would say it’s a City of Kamloops event,” said Lisa Lake, president of the Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak. “They work in partnership with us.” The idea was brought to Kamloops from the East Coast, and it was initially planned as a project that could involve multiple Rotary groups, but Lake explained that wasn’t in the cards. “We tried to see if it could be an all clubs events, but it’s very, very difficult to organize all clubs,” she said. Instead, Daybreak tackled the massive project alone because its membership numbers were the highest. And while it’s been a huge success, she also said

that it’s a lot of work. “We did it the first year, and we were all really thrilled. And then at the end of the three days, we sat down and said, that was so great,” Lake said. “And then our next thought was, oh no, we have to do this again.” Of course Daybreak isn’t only known for its work on RibFest. It’s also behind CrabFest, which usually hits in February, and recently helped the SPCA get its new location built. The club is also planning a new fundraiser called Art from the Attic, scheduled to take place the first weekend in October, where people donate pieces of art that they no longer care to display for Daybreak to clean up and sell. The funds from this project would likely go towards the Overlander Residential Care facility. “We’re working with Overlander right now to redo their outdoor living space,” she said. “They’ve got a gazebo

there that needs to be condemned, people can’t even use it, it’s got to come down. The pathway needs to be fixed, because people with mobility issues couldn’t use the current pathway. There’s a four bed hospice there, none of us even knew that, there’s no outdoor space for people that are accessing hospice there.” The club is also considering tackling an international service project in Africa. “The last international project we did was a water project and it was in Sri Lanka,” she said. The club, which is about 30 years old, has a current membership count of 102, so they aren’t exactly hunting for new members, though Lake did say that they’re always willing to consider new faces.

RibFest is one of the Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak’s signature events.

he Rotary Club of Kamloops North might be a small club, but according to president Bob Attfield, they’re very passionate and dedicated to the North Shore community. “Right now we have about 17 members,” Attfield said, “and our big projects, we partnered with the school district, and our big project is McQueen Lake.” McQueen Lake is an education centre that’s owned and operated by the school district, allowing district

students of all grades to utilize the site for many different objectives. “Our club was instrumental in supporting the initiative to build that camp, and we continue to support it to this day.” The club also offers scholarships and bursaries to the two high schools located on the North Shore: Norkam Secondary School and Westsyde Secondary School. They’re involved with the Salvation Army’s kettle program and they do street cleanup work along Tranquille Road

a few times a year. And like the other Kamloops Rotary clubs, they’re involved in the Food Bank food drive. A few years back the club also participated in international projects, like helping to build wells in Mexico. Attfield has been personally involved in eyecare projects in Africa. “It’s about giving back to our communities,” said Attfield, in describing what Rotary means to him.

“Living in Canada, we won the lottery the day we were born, and it’s an opportunity for Rotarians, like myself, to give back to the community, to use our skills to give back to the community.” The group is small, but Attfield hopes they can grow. “We’re in a rebuild mode,” he said. “We’re looking for new members, and we meet the first and third Wednesday evening of every month. “Most of our members are long time Rotarians and come from very

SALUTE TO ROTARY IN KAMLOOPS DISTRICT CONFERENCE 2019

Kamloops Aurora Centennial newest club in city Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial members hard at work at the Kamloops Hospice Garden.

he Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial may be Kamloops’ newest Rotary club, but it has accomplished a lot since it chartered on the 100th birthday of Rotary International in 2004. Aurora is a Tuesday morning meeting club that started at UCC (now TRU), and presently meets at Nandi’s Flavours of India, 610 W.

Columbia Street. Starting with 26 members in 2004, Aurora has grown to 35 active members. The Aurora club sponsored the start-up of the two junior Rotary clubs, Kamloops Hybrid Interact (14 to 18 year olds) plus the Young Professionals of Kamloops Rotaract Club (18 to 30 years old). Both meet Tuesday evenings at 610 West Columbia. New members are

welcome. From the beginning, the Aurora club chose to focus its service on youth, education and the environment. Aurora has purchased Smart Boards for SD73 classrooms, school jerseys for athletics, a recent robotics program for SD73, plus many others. The club also supports the Rotary Youth exchange, has set up a TRU Scholarship Fund and gives

monthly recognition to local SD73 students who exemplify leadership in their local school. Each year Aurora sponsors a local student to participate in the Adventures in Citizenship program in Ottawa plus the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. The club continues to be involved with the Rotary Food Drive, the Starfish backpack program, The Pitstop Sunday meal program at Kamloops United Church, The Christopher Seguin Rotary Family Dinner at Norkam Secondary, plus others. Twice a year the club members, with family and friends clean up their Adopt-a-Road along Highway 5A from Rogers Way to the Summit Drive/Hugh Allan intersection. Aurora actively participated in and supported the Disaster Recovery Fund (a Kamloops Rotary initiative formed to deal with the 2017 Wildfires). Club members are also regular participants in many causes like Raise a Reader program, Kamloops Spelling Bee, the Christmas shoebox campaign, Operation Red Nose and the list goes on. Aurora has supported international water and education projects in Chile,

many areas in Africa and Southeast Asia, plus Developing World Connections initiatives. Over the years, Aurora has given away hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups and service projects, locally and internationally. To do this, Aurora has had to fund raise. The club’s annual Spaghetti Western held in the fall at the Colombo Lodge is a regular sellout and lots of fun. In 2017, the Aurora club organized and hosted the Canada 150 RCMP Musical Ride tour. The club has had many other events and support other Rotary clubs events. Currently, the Aurora club is in the process of giving away $40K in local community grants. Aurora is always looking for people who want to make a difference in the world. If you are looking for a diverse, fun group of people of action, drop by a Tuesday morning meeting and check them out.

Rotary clubs responsible for many Kamloops events R

otary is a club that unites people, across communities and across the world, towards a common goal of solving real problems. Kamloops is home to five clubs that have each had impact in the local community through volunteer work as well as creating fundraising events which have become signatures of life in Kamloops. One project that unites all five of the local Rotary clubs is the food drive for the Kamloops Food Bank, which takes place twice a

year. People fill bags with food items they have around the house, leave them on their front step, and Rotary volunteers pick them up in the morning. It’s an important event for the Food Bank, bringing tens of thousands of pounds through their door. Local Rotary Clubs are also participants in Adopt-ARoad campaigns. Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak is responsible for some of Kamloops’ most recognizable events. Ribfest has become a staple of sum-

mer in the city and Crabfest is just about as popular. And they’re hoping a new event — Art from the Attic — will grab people’s attention as well. Rotary Club of Kamloops North keeps their attention on the north side of the river, with regular clean-ups along Tranquille Road and scholarships and bursaries for north shore high schools Norkam and Westsyde. They also work with the Salvation Army’s kettle program helps with the McQueen Lake Environmental Education

Centre that’s a part of School District No. 73. Rotary Club of Kamloops continues to the focus on food-related programs with Chefs in the City, a great opportunity get a taste of some of the cuisine from local gourmet chefs. They also help with the Christopher Seguin Rotary Family Dinners and the Starfish Backpack program. Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial is also involved in the Christopher Seguin Rotary Family Dinners and the Starfish

Backpack program. They also work with the United Church on the PIT Stop Sunday meals provided by the church. But their signature event is probably the Spaghetti Western held in the fall. It’s a fun event filled with great food, entertainment, and dancing. Rotary Club of Kamloops West is another club that participates in the PIT Stop Sunday meals. They also put on a free seniors’ dinner every February and volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club Power Start program.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE 2019

ROTARY FEEDS THE NEED

Last weekend was the 22nd Rotary Food Drive in Kamloops and more than 50,000 pounds of non-perishable food donations were collected, according to Cassie Nolan, office co-ordinator for the Kamloops Food Bank. She said this amount would have cost the Food Bank more than $150,000 to purchase and will keep it going for the next few months. It was the third food drive with the Any Bag Will Do program. Nearly 100 volunteers helped unload and sort donations in addition to Rotarians who gather donations from around town. Since 2008, more than 1 million pounds of food has been collected for the Food Bank. ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS / KTW

City welder eyes retirement after 50-year career MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Drago Gluvic has run his business, Drago’s Spring and Welding at 1429 River St., for more than 50 years. Now, with two new owners taking the reins, Gluvic is set to retire.

We’ll show you it’s possible.

he sun shines bright on a worn, peeling sign standing over a shop on River Street. Faded letters read “Drago’s Spring and Welding” — a familiar moniker to many in Kamloops. Amid the clanging of metal, it’s a relatively quiet Friday at the shop following a busy week, but a distinct shuffling sound can be heard in the distance. It’s the sound of dusty concrete grinding against shoes — those of 81-year-old Drago Gluvic, who has run the business for more than 50 years. Sporting a ball cap, two hearing aides, large glasses and a collared shirt buttoned all the way up, Gluvic slowly makes his way to his now former office ready to talk about past, present and future with KTW. But work is always on the old blacksmith’s mind, even on the doorstep of retirement. He takes frequent pauses from questions to talk business with new owners Rob Guido and Maciej Kucko, and when a large BC Hydro truck rolls in for repairs, Gluvic is drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It’s clear: Gluvic loves his work and is quick-witted. Asked why he’s retiring, he replies with a smile, “I didn’t know nothing better.” As the business was becoming too much to handle in his old age, Gluvic sold his shop to two lifelong friends in their 30s, who were also former customers. “When I was 16 … I used to come here and Drago used to sell me U-bolts. He would tell me

one price before I got here and then I’d pick them up and they’d double by the time I got here,” Guido quips. Having talked about opening up a business together for years and feeling the time was right, Guido, a mechanic, and Kucko, a metal fabricator, were interested in purchasing Drago’s. “I used to love coming in here and seeing him in the shop, it’s a great shop,” Kucko says. The process started in September as mere chats, and the three became close friends through months of discussions. Kucko and Guido would stop in some days just to visit. “We’d come here and just bullshit with him for hours,” Guido says. Filled with massive homemade machinery, the shop is quite literally the house that Drago built. He bought the place in the early 1960s and extended the building in the 1990s. “You believe me, I never borrowed penny from bank — nobody,” Gluvic says, noting it was easier to save money back in the day. His pride and joy is a U-bolt press he built, but it’s just one of many pieces of homemade machinery in the shop. “I built that about 40 years ago,” Gluvic says. Asked how he built them, Gluvic didn’t speak, but instead smirked and simply tapped his finger to the side of his head. Gluvic was born in Banja Luka in the former Yugoslavia in 1937. He immigrated to Canada in the ‘50s and worked on a farm in Williams Lake and then at Harper Ranch before getting a job at the shop he would soon own. CONTINUES A28

FROM A27

Reminiscing about the old days, Gluvic said business was lucrative, even when he was working on his own — but it came with long hours. The business was often a family affair, however, as his wife Agnes and daughter Debbie helped with the books. At its peak, Drago’s had up to eight employees and the shop was constantly filled with vehicles. One of Gluvic’s fondest memories, however, has nothing to do with business — it was teaching his son Brian his craft in the shop. Now, Gluvic and his wife have plans to move to White Rock to be closer to their son and daughter — a doctor and teacher — and with multiple rental properties and four grandchildren, he’ll likely

be a busy man in his golden years. The octogenarian also plans to be a mentor to the shop’s two new owners and will likely still pop in from time to time. “You’re still the boss in our eyes, right?” Guido asked Gluvic. “Oh yeah,” he replies. Guido said Gluvic had many offers for the shop, but most included plans to sell off the equipment and change the name. Gluvic wanted buyers who would maintain the shop’s history, and Kucko and Guido were happy to oblige. The name will remain Drago’s and the machinery will be used, as well. “This is a one of a kind shop,” Guido says, noting Gluvic’s customer rapport he has built over the years. “He’s still the face and the brand of it all.”

CALGARY — Encana Corp. shares rose sharply and then fell in early trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday after it reported first-quarter production and financial results that missed analyst expectations. The Calgary-based oil and gas producer closed the all-shares acquisition of U.S. rival Newfield Exploration Co. in mid-February, thus gaining a new core operating area in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma. The purchase sparked a 15 per cent reduction in the combined companies’ workforce, as well as operational changes that Encana said have already resulted in more than US$1 million per well cost reductions in the former Newfield oilfields. On a conference call, Encana CEO Doug Suttles promised the company will not increase spend-

ing beyond the US$2.8 billion it has budgeted for this year despite recent higher oil prices. The company reported already completing 60 per cent of the 91-million-share buyback program it launched in March. “We see compelling value in Encana stock today; in fact, we believe that buying our own equity is an incredible value,” Suttles said. “Although higher oil prices are certainly a nice tailwind, I want to be very clear that higher oil prices will not translate into higher capital spending.” Encana shares rose by as much as 4.5 per cent to $9.98 early Tuesday before trailing off to close at $9.28, down 2.8 per cent. Encana, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, reported a net loss of $245 million in its latest quarter as it was hit by $113 million in employee severance and outplacement costs and non-cash losses of $427 million from its

commodity hedging program. It earned a net profit of $151 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Annual general and administrative cost savings from the Newfield purchase are now expected to be $150 million, up from the earlier estimate of $125 million, Suttles said, noting the company is realizing more savings by measures including selling or subletting unneeded real estate. Analysts said Encana’s firstquarter production of 468,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day — including a month and a half of Newfield output — was lower than consensus expectations of 478,000 boe/d. Slightly better than expected Anadarko volumes were offset by third-party midstream outages that caused reductions in production from Texas Permian wells and from the Montney region in Western Canada.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 19.64 points at 16,580.73 after hitting an intraday low of 16,544.55. Decreases in the health care and energy sectors more than offset gains in information technology, which rose 1.8 per cent on a stellar performance from Shopify Inc.

Energy lagged with Crescent Point Energy falling 4.8 per cent despite a rise in the price of crude oil after the Saudi energy minister signalled that the production cut agreement could be extended to end of the year.

MONTREAL — The head of Canada’s largest railway says ferrying crude remains a lucrative, albeit temporary solution to Canada’s pipeline quandary. Canadian National Railway Co. chief executive Jean-Jacques Ruest said the company ramped up capacity with more track, crews and locomotives, only to see volumes fall this year from record highs last autumn after Alberta lowered the oil production cap to free up export pipeline space and boost the price of Western Canadian Select amid an oil glut. Ruest, who has headed CN since July, said he sees railway’s role in the commodity as complimentary, a bridge between the past and the near future when pipelines will again bear the lion’s share of the black stuff. Attempts to build or expand pipelines have faltered the last few years, leaving railways to pick up the slack. Major projects such as the Northern Gateway and Energy East pipelines were cancelled, and delays continue to snarl the Trans Mountain expansion, Line 3 replacement and Keystone XL pipeline. Meanwhile CN Rail and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. shipped 23 per cent more oil and petroleum in 2018, according to the Association of American Railways. Crude-by-rail exports hit a record 327,229 barrels per day in October, a 58 per cent year-over-year increase, accord-

The Canadian dollar traded at an average of 74.50 cents US compared with an average of 74.32 cents US on Monday. That helped gold prices, with the June gold contract rising $4.20 at US$1,285.70 an ounce and the July copper contract was up 0.7 of a cent at US$2.90 a pound. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 38.52 points at 26,592.91. The S&P 500 index was up 2.80 points at 2,945.83, while the Nasdaq composite was down 54.09 points at 8,107.77. The U.S. markets responded largely to divergent earnings reports. Alphabet fell 7.5 per cent on disappointing sales that held back revenues, Pfizer Inc. was up 2.6 per cent after profits beat expectations and General Electric was up 4.5 per cent on surprisingly good earnings. “I think what the market is focused on right now is really more company specific so what we’re seeing is the whole firstquarter earnings parade is continuing to drive the price action,’’ Maloney said. About half of the U.S. companies have reported, with about 75 per cent beating expectations.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s sales are still shrinking amid weakening iPhone demand, despite the company’s effort to emphasize services designed to bring in a steady flow of money from the 1.4 billion of its devices still in use. Revenue for the January-March quarter fell five per cent from the same time in 2017 to $58 billion, the company said in its earnings report Tuesday. That downturn followed a five per cent drop in the previous quarter. It’s the first time Apple has suffered two consecutive quarterly revenue declines in two-and-half years. Apple still posted a profit of $11.6 billion during its latest quarter, though that was down 16 per cent compared to last year. That translated into $2.46 per share, down 10 per cent from last year, but above the $2.36 per share forecast among analysts surveyed by FactSet. The Cupertino, California, company also announced a 5 per cent increase in its quarterly dividend to 77 cents per share. That news, coupled with results that weren’t quite as bad as analysts had feared, seemed to please investors.

Developers must think about archaeology Without proper steps taken, builders could disturb archaeologically significant sites — destroying irreplacable First Nations history while delaying building, costing them time and lots of money RAMSAY McKEE

SPECIAL TO KTW

colleague recently called me to ask for advice on how to respond to a builder who wanted to erect a large lakeshore development within a registered archaeological site, but did not want to obtain the proper paperwork — a site alteration permit under the Heritage Conservation Act. From this conversation with my colleague, it was apparent the developer did not think they needed to consult an archaeologist or the archaeology branch of the provincial government because the area had been previously disturbed. To make a long story short, the developer went ahead with the development and in the process destroyed significant intact archaeological deposits that were still present underneath the disturbed surface. Indigenous monitors on site stopped construction work and contacted the archaeology branch, who issued a stop work order. This resulted in irreparable destruction of important archaeological deposits — a non-renewable resource. It also resulted in long delays to the developer’s schedule and major unplanned costs. Archaeologists have lost count of the number of times construction managers, developers, government officials, and landowners have said that an archaeological assessment or archaeological monitoring of a development site is not needed because “it’s all disturbed.”

There have also been countless times an archaeologist has had to stop construction during monitoring for archaeological resources because there were intact archaeological deposits present in an area where everyone expected the entire work site to be previously disturbed. This highlights the need for developers to engage qualified professionals to assist them with their compliance with relevant laws, regardless of how a work site appears on the surface. Professional archaeologists and Indigenous communities together have the technical expertise and knowledge of the complex history of human presence in B.C. to provide expert advice. Often, archaeologists can provide site specific recommendations that allow developers to move forward with some understanding of the archaeological costs involved with proceeding with development. Plans can be changed to avoid areas with high archaeological sensitivity, and still allow for development to proceed without the unnecessary and costly delays that usually give archaeology a bad reputation in the news. While it is true that archaeological sites that have been previously disturbed may be managed in a different way from sites that have not been disturbed, it is also true that both intact and disturbed archaeological sites are afforded the same protection under the Heritage Conservation Act. To quote one of my mentors, “A disturbed site is still a site.” Ramsay McKee is an archaeologist and heritage manager with Yucwmenlúcwu (Caretakers of the Land) LLP.

Believe it or not, there is an intact archaeological site underground beneath this dirt road and power poles.

Matt Bardsley entered the hockey business in 1999. After nearly 20 years of building a reputation with the Portland Winterhawks, he earned the Kamloops Blazers’ general manager position last June. Bardsley will run his first WHL Bantam Draft in Red Deer on Thursday. The Blazers’ scouting staff includes holdovers from previous regimes and talent adjudicators brought on board by Bardsley. GM Stu MacGregor and director of player personnel Matt Recchi were not retained after the 2017-2018 campaign. When they were in charge, head scout Ken Fox was righthand man to Recchi, who oversaw all scouting. Bardsley has introduced a different system. Kamloops has three head scouts — Fox (Saskatchewan/ Manitoba), Jason Pashelka (Alberta) and Robbie Sandland (B.C.). Regional scouts report to head scouts, who report to Bardsley, who has the final say in determining players’ rankings on the team’s draft board. The buck will stop with Bardsley on Thursday. Pashelka replaces the Blazers’ former top Alberta scout, Mark Blair, who moved on to the Moose Jaw Warriors. Sandland and Pashelka are among Bardsley-hired newcomers, who also include regional scouts Kevin Haupt (Alberta), Stephen Zipp (Alberta), Scott Blakeney (B.C./Lower Mainland), Chase Souto (U.S./California) and Mike DeAngelis (U.S./ Arizona). Adding two Alberta-region scouts may have something to do with the Blazers’ recent draft record. Since 2015, Kamloops has drafted 42 players, only six of whom are from Alberta. “You want to make sure you have coverage,” Bardsley said. “That way you know you’re not missing guys. That was the reason we added some more in that area.” Bardsley inherited a group that includes regional scouts Rocky Allen (Kootenays/ Southern Alberta), Greg Batters (Vancouver Island), RoyEl Caswell (Lower Mainland), Ken Cross (Manitoba), Grant Evans (Lower Mainland), Dennis McKinnon (B.C.), Warren Renden (Alberta) and Mike Leier (Saskatchewan). The Blazers will pick twice in the first round — seventh and 20th overall — for the first time in the bantam draft’s 29-year history.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE Matt Bardsley is no stranger to the WHL Bantam Draft, but has never called the shots as GM. The draft will get underway at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Trading either of those picks does not seem likely, as the Blazers want to nab quality players from a crop that lacks depth, according to most in scouting circles. “We feel we’re going to get two really good players in the first round,” Bardsley said. There is room for deviation, but the Blazers’ plan for the early rounds is to pick the highestranked player remaining on their draft board, regardless of position. Bardsley and the head scouts met on Monday and Tuesday to work on finalizing the draft board. “We have discussions and certainly there are debates, with guys fighting for their guys,” Bardsley said. “That’s what you want to see.” Kamloops has two first-round picks, two fourth-round selections and three seventh-round picks, in addition to its own full draft board. Teams often select between nine and 12 players at the draft. With 11 picks in the first seven rounds, Kamloops may be done for the day by Round 8 and pass on remaining selections. The extra first- and fourthround picks were acquired by MacGregor in a deal in January of 2018 that sent Ondrej Vala and Garrett Pilon to the Everett Silvertips. Orrin Centazzo and Montana Onyebuchi, both of whom will be 19 next season, and 2002-born prospects Kalen Ukrainetz and Nathanael Hinds also came to Kamloops in that trade. “Our scouting staff has done a real good job of doing the work, identifying the talent, evaluating the players and doing the research on the character of the players, so I’m real comfortable with where we are with our list,” Bardsley said. “The draft is the bloodline to

your team. It’s critical that you draft well.” Pashelka, Fox, Sandland and director of hockey Tim O’Donovan will join Bardsley at the draft. DRAFT INTRIGUE Matthew Savoie is widely considered the best player eligible to be selected at this year’s bantam draft. The 5-foot-9 forward from St. Albert, Alta., has committed to the University of Denver and it is not clear if he will report to any WHL club that picks him. The Winnipeg Ice, who have the first overall selection, acquired the rights to 2002-born Carter Savoie, Matthew’s older brother, in a trade with the Regina Pats in April. Carter is also committed to the University of Denver. “Everyone’s wondering what’s going to happen with the first pick,” Bardsley said. “That’s why you want have your list in order, so that whenever there is a little bit of a curveball, it doesn’t change your thinking. You’re prepared to make your pick.” Prince George is scheduled to have the second- and fourthoverall picks, with Saskatoon to go third and Kelowna slated to have the fifth selection. The Rockets, who did not qualify for the 2019 WHL playoffs, won a bid to host the 2020 Memorial Cup. Kelowna’s owner and general manager, Bruce Hamilton, may be interested in trading the fifth overall pick in exchange for a player who can contribute next season. Carter Streek, a forward who played last season for Yale Hockey Academy, and Mathew Ward, a forward who toiled for Delta Hockey Academy in 20182019, are among Kamloops products expected to be drafted on Thursday.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops Bike Riders Association Kids League members hit the trails in Lac Du Bois last Friday. The league, which maxed out at 40 participants in Year 1, was capped at 70 this year.

KBRA Kids League growing each year MARTY HASTINGS

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

There appears to be demand in Kamloops for more organized youth mountain biking programming. “It’s starting to blow up in this town,” said Chris Martin, who runs DMB Mountain Bike Coaching and volunteers with the Kamloops Bike Riders Association Kids League. The Kids League had room for 70 riders ages seven to 12 and sold out in three days. “It’s nice to be able to fill that need and to, hopefully, grow it even more in the future,” said Catharine Pendrel, the Kids League director who helps out when she isn’t out of town racing against the world’s best cross-country mountain bikers. “We definitely have lots of parents contacting us for the waitlist.” This year, the Kids League consists of three race days and three skill clinics, with the season running from April 12 to May 31. “We just wanted to recognize that while not every kid is competitive, some are, and we give them an introduction to what cross-country mountain biking is,” Pendrel said. There was no cost to enter in its first two years of operation, 2017 and

2018, but a registration fee of $30 was established this year. “We got jerseys for the kids, it covers insurance, prizes, makes things a little more official and provides us with a registration base,” Martin said. “Also, you’re not guessing every week if people will show up.” Registration fees and a Kamloops Sports Legacy Fund grant of $17,599 to the KBRA are helping the Kids League improve in a few areas. “Just simple stuff, like getting us a tent for shade, some instructor training, making sure more of our instructors are first-aid certified,” Pendrel said. “Little things that help drum up excitement and let kids know they are part of the cycling community and that it’s their league.” Events are held in Lac Du Bois and at the Kamloops Bike Ranch. The Kids League is run by 16 volunteers, 14 coaches and two folks in organizational roles. “I would love to see it turn into something like the KYSA has with soccer, where the kids can have one practise and one game a week,” Martin said. “Our hands are a little bit tied by the number of qualified coaches we have.” For more information, email kbra. info@gmail.com or find KBRA Kids League on Facebook.

The Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre athlete represented B.C. and competed in the Level 4 division, winning gold medals in rings and vault in individual competition. Sirianni, who was named the KGTC’s athlete of the month, helped B.C. to silver in the team event. “It was really nerveracking,” said Sirianni, a South Kamloops secondary student. “I just listen to my music before I go and I think about what I’m going to do and really put my time into focusing. I drown everything out. I listen to some rap.” Sirianni placed ninth all-around in his category, finishing 20th on floor, 16th on pommel horse, ninth on parallel bars and fifth on high bar. “I’m not so agile on the pommel,” Sirianni said. “I just started three years ago. It’s probably the hardest event in gymnastics. I’ve got to work on that mainly.” A fall on a tumbling pass hurt Sirianni’s score in the floor event, but excellent work in rings and vault boosted him to a top-10 all-around finish in his first appearance for Team B.C. “I’m hoping to move up to the junior category next year,” Sirianni said. “I’m hoping to go to nationals next year and, hopefully, compete internationally. I’m going to work really hard to get there.”

AT PROVINCIALS The B.C. Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held recently in Coquitlam. Sirianni and Drew Kanigan were among the KGTC’s big winners in the male division. Kanigan was first in floor, pommel horse, rings and high bar, second on vault and third on parallel bars en route to a gold allaround performance in the junior division. The junior national team member has qualified to compete at the Canadian Artistic Championships, which will run from May 3 to May 5 in Ottawa. Sirianni placed first all-around in the Level 4 category, finishing first on floor, rings, vault and high Bar and third on Pommel horse. Eduardo NunezPalma, a Level 3 Athlete, was first on pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar. Lachlan deFouw was second on floor in Level 4 action. Eva Poissant and Leah L’Ecluse competed in female junior Olympic Level 6 competition. Poissant was first on uneven bars and third on beam to place second all-around. L’Ecluse placed second on uneven bars. Daryn England placed first on floor in junior Olympic Level 7 action. KGTC artistic athletes will compete this weekend at the Delta Invitational in Richmond.

Boogie the Bridge was held in Kamloops on Sunday on a route affected by construction in the downtown area. The 22nd Boogie started and finished in McDonald Park on the North Shore and did not bring participants across the Overlanders Bridge, which is usually part of the route. “It was fantastic,” event founder and race organizer Jo Berry said. “It honestly was considering we had to lay down a new route, in new neighbourhoods with lots of new dynamics. “One of the highlights was how nice the North Shore neighbourhoods were. People were out on their lawns. We had a big sound system set up at 7 a.m. Nobody complained.” Boogie has raised more than $1 million for charities. Numbers for this past weekend’s race will be released later this week. In the five-kilometre race, Parker Lehmann was the fastest man, with a time of 18:37.3, and Faryn Brown (21:58.6) won the women’s race. Troy Morgan (33:45.7) won the 10km men’s race and Kaileen McCulloch (36:22.0) claimed the women’s title. In the 21km event, Eric Tommasini (1:19:21.7) placed first among men and Louise Chiasson (1:40:03.5) was the fastest female.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS

Not Path

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Consider the square below. You are to work out paths from the 1 at the top left corner to the zero at the bottom right corner. To move along a path, move to the next higher integer where that number is immediately to left of, to the right of, above or below the current position. 1 2 3 6 5 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 7 8 5 8 7 8 7 6 7 8 9 There are many ways to do this. Rather than ask how there are, the puzzle is how many of the 25 values are not on one of the paths.

She is lovingly remembered by her son Craig (Brenda) Thomson of Kamloops, BC, grandchildren Trista (Chris), Kara (Jeff), Caitlin, and Pearce (Brooklyn), greatgrandchildren Carter, Logan, Carson and Brynn and other relatives Pauli (Gregor) Gabb, Eric (Doris) Woodward, Judy (Greg) Clark, Ken (Carla) Woodward, Chelsea and Alex Woodward and Sarah and Evan Walker. Eileen was predeceased by her husband Jack Douglas and son Derek Thomson. Eileen was born and raised in the Vancouver area. She married Gordon Thomson and together they had two loving sons. Though they parted ways, they remained close friends. Eileen then married the “love of her life” Jack Douglas. Eileen had a passion for her work at Purdy’s Chocolates but eventually her adventures took her to West Kelowna. After many years there, she finally settled in Kamloops with her son and her beloved dog. Eileen loved staying close with her family through coffee time, TV time and “Happy Hour.” A private family gathering will be held for Eileen in the summer. The family would like to offer a special thank you to all the fine caregivers of Unit 2B at Kamloops Seniors Village.

In Loving Memory of

Robert Earl (Bob) Wilson

Celebration of Life

After fighting her battle with Parkinson’s for 26 years our beautiful, feisty Mavis Olm has passed. She will be fondly remembered by everyone who were so fortunate to have been in her life and there were many. Mavis will be dearly missed by her husband Ken, having spent 36 wonderful years together, sons Paul (Jackie), Greg (Iola), stepdaughters Kim (Steve), Marni (Harry), grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as her sisters and brothers Orvan, Arlene, Marilyn, Bonnie and Brian. Mavis moved to Kamloops from Nova Scotia in 1975 and worked for the City of Kamloops, retiring in 1997. Mavis was filled with creativity and always had a “project” on the go, doing paper tole, sewing, painting or building her beautiful gardens at their home or with Ken’s patience and help at North Barriere Lake where they had a summer home for many years. With Ken by her side they golfed and loved to travel, Mexico being their favourite place to winter for the last 12 years. It warms our hearts to know that she was welcomed by her predeceased grandsons David and Jorden. Mavis, you will be missed so very much by your family and friends. There will be a Celebration of Life for Mavis on Sunday, May 12, 2019 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at Cottonwood Manor, 730 Cottonwood Avenue, Kamloops. Thank you to the staff at Royal Inland Hospital and a special thank you to Doctor Jennifer Takahashi.

Jesse Joseph “Joe” Denison January 19, 1925 to April 18, 2019

We are sad to announce the peaceful passing of Joe Denison on April 18, 2019 at the age of 94 in Kamloops, BC. Joe lived his final year at The Hamlets, Ponderosa, and the Overlander Hospice. Joe will be fondly remembered by his sons Dan (Beverly), Dave (Reyna), Doug (Elizabeth) and grandchildren Andrew, Shelby and Jeff, Jesse, Luke and Tahara and Clare and Peter. He was predeceased by his wife Margaret (2000) and siblings May, Frank, Jim and Charlie. He is survived by two great-grandchildren, brother Vern, three sisters-inlaw, one brother-in-law and many nieces and nephews. Joe was the eldest of seven siblings, born and raised in the Northern Peace River area on the family homestead. He met the love of his life Margaret. After they married, they moved to California where the three boys were born. Joe moved the family back to Peace River, then Salmon Arm and finally settled in Santa Barbara, CA which they enjoyed until his retirement as an engineer for Raytheon. Later, Joe and Margaret moved to Kamloops to spend time with family and grandchildren. They enjoyed many camping trips and winters in Arizona where they learned new instruments and shared a passion for singing bluegrass music. After Margaret passed, grandpa Joe continued on by learning new things, listening to people’s stories, offering help to anyone in need, meeting for breakfast, playing music and games and enjoying conversations with his grandchildren. Joe continued to travel every chance he had to Arizona, Mexico, Southern California, Oregon and he even took a Caribbean cruise at the age of 90. Joe was a kind, gentle, caring man who lived a very good life. Should friends desire, donations to the charity of one’s choice would be appreciated in Joe’s memory. This summer, Joe and Margaret will be brought back to the hills near Peace River where they grew up. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim

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