The first stage at the city’s wastewater-treatment centre screens out solids, which appears to be mostly garbage — the smelliest stage in the process, resembling the stench of an outhouse.

A TRIP THROUGH THE SEWAGE TREATMENT CENTRE JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

As controversy continues to swirl around its biosolids being sent to Turtle Valley, the City of Kamloops invited media for a tour of its sewage-treatment plant on Thursday and briefly outlined eight future management options that will go to council in further detail later this month. City utility services manager Greg Wightman

walked media through the large property on Mission Flats Road, along the Thompson River. An automated system treats the city’s sewage — everything that flows down a drain in city and Tk’emlups te Secwepemc homes — and is operated by a crew of up to seven via the “brains,” a sophisticated computer system. A murky liquid resembling a cross between puddle water and lime juice enters the plant by pipe. It is not what one might expect to see from

untreated sewage. “There’s a lot of misconceptions, when it comes to wastewater and wastewater treatment, for sure,” Wightman said. “It’s one of the biggest hurdles we have as a city is trying to get factual and accurate information out there to folks. … It’s not the visual you’re probably expecting.” The first treatment stage screens out solids, which appeared to be mostly garbage — the smelliest stage in the process, resembling the

stench of an outhouse. (Wightman said the odour is confined and does not add to complaints related to the neighbouring Domtar pulp mill.) Meanwhile, a glimpse at this stage of the process provides evidence that residents continue to flush items down the drain that should not be flushed, including plastic bags, feminine hygiene packaging, syringes, rags and wipes.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

DOMO ARIGATO, MOWER ROBOTO

Kamloops council has deferred the issue of evening city council meetings and quashed the potential for councillors to participate in meetings electronically on a limited basis. During a committee of the whole meeting Tuesday morning, council was presented with a number of updates to its procedural bylaw. Having spent the better half of the morning discussing transit, council voted unanimously — Coun. Bill Sarai was absent — to defer discussion about evening meeting times, given time constraints. A staff report to council concluded the majority of communities analyzed held regular meetings at night, but noted later meeting times did not result in increased public participation. Participation, instead, was linked to topics. Additionally, staff research concluded it would cost more to hold meetings at night, due to having to pay CUPE-contracted staff. Council will discuss the matter at a future committee of the whole meeting, likely in the fall.

Meanwhile, council ditched a proposition to dial in digitally to regular meetings. Staff recommended up to two city councillors per meeting could participate in council meetings remotely, via an iPad — a move supported by Coun. Arjun Singh, who said he has watched city council meetings from hotel rooms while absent under his duties as president for the Union of BC Municipalities. He pushed the idea on a limited basis, not wishing to allow snowbirds the ability to vote from a sunny spot all winter, and noted situations of service or accessibility issues related to an injury or disability. “I think it will be a rare provision,” Singh said. “But I think it’s important.” Coun. Mike O’Reilly, disagreed. He said councillors are making multi-million-dollar decisions for which they should be present. “We owe it to people to be here,” O’Reilly said. “To listen and to look them in the eye.” Council voted 5-3 to defeat electronic participation, with councillors Singh, Sadie Hunter and Kathy Sinclair voting in favour, but councillors O’Reilly, Dale Bass, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and

Mayor Ken Christian opposed. Additionally, Singh tried to open up the public inquiries portion of council meetings to allow residents a few minutes to speak to council on any matter concerning them, at the chair’s discretion. Four council members — Singh, Bass, Hunter and Walsh — voted in favour. The other four — O’Reilly, Dudy, Sinclair and Christian — were opposed, with the tie defeating the proposal. Council also wants delegations and proclamations to be held at the beginning of meetings, to avoid people waiting around during the public submissions portion of the meeting, which can take an indeterminate amount of time based on public feedback and council questions. Additionally, council wants those who file notices of motion required to be present to defend their notices of motion. Former city councillor Donovan Cavers filed 11 notices of motion during his final city council meeting last October, none of which have been adopted by the current council. Council’s feedback from Tuesday will be included in final staff recommendations, which will return to council for approval at a later date.

MAY IS INVASIVE SPECIES ACTION MONTH We all have a role in stopping the spread of invasive plants. Prevention is the most effective method of control, but if your residential landscape is past the point of prevention, use integrated pest management (IPM) methods to deal with noxious weeds. The following actions can help prevent the spread of invasive plants: • Be careful of sharing plants that are self-seeding, vigorous spreaders, or prolific growers. • Be cautious of ordering plant seeds over the Internet or through catalogues. • Be wary of wildflower mixes, as many contain invasive species. • Never dump garden waste or hanging baskets into natural areas. • If you discover invasive plants in your yard, contain them within your property. • Control weeds that grow under bird feeders.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

These techniques can oftentimes prevent an accident.

Police say a serious stabbing on the North Shore on Wednesday was a targeted attack connected to the city’s drug trade. A 34-year-old Prince George man was stabbed multiple times during an incident at the Northbridge Hotel on Tranquille Road. Police said the man was bleeding profusely and suffering serious injuries, but is expected to survive. A short time after the stabbing, Mounties arrested four people at a home on nearby Linden Avenue. Jennifer Manuel, 36, Devon McConnell, 39, and 33-year-old Derek Jensen have each been charged with aggravated assault relating to the stabbing. Another man, 24-year-old Evan Davis, was arrested on unrelated outstanding warrants relating to an alleged domestic incident. “There were several third-party witnesses on this case,” RCMP Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay said. “When combined with nearby surveillance video, police identified several suspects and their vehicle immediately.” Manuel, McConnell, Jensen and Davis were slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday afternoon for bail hearings. Investigators have asked anyone with dash camera or surveillance footage from the area around the Northbridge Hotel and Linden Avenue around 3 p.m. on Wednesday to contact police. Linden Avenue has been the focus of police activity in the past year. On Nov. 4, 2018, a vehicle parked in the alley of the 500-block of Linden was firebombed, while on June 22, 2018, the RCMP emergency response team raided a home on the street, arresting two people and seizing drugs and weapons.

Dream Home Buying Rental Property is a Smart Investment

Have you been thinking of investing in real estate to build future wealth for you and your family? Now’s a good time to begin as mortgage rates are still on the low side. Rental properties have proven to be a wise long-term investment. Working with a mortgage broker from the onset of becoming a real estate investor is very beneficial. You’ll be provided with ongoing information that’ll help you make informed investment decisions and feel at ease throughout each purchase. It’s important to understand that, if the mortgages on your investment properties aren’t set up properly, you won’t be approved

for future financing – a necessity if you want to continue buying revenue properties. Take advantage of your home equity If you’ve built up equity in your primary residence, you can often use these resources for the down payment on your investment property through a refinance or a home equity line of credit (HELOC). Depending on your current mortgage lender, you may be eligible for a HELOC product that would allow you to withdraw some equity from your current residence to help finance your investment property. One benefit of using a HELOC is that there

is little or no set-up fee involved and you only pay interest on the portion of the HELOC that you use. If you choose to refinance, it’s important to note that there are penalties for paying out your existing mortgage prior to renewal. But this may be offset by the extra money you could acquire to put towards your investment property. Of course, the best time to access your home equity is approaching your mortgage renewal date because you won’t pay any penalties. Still, waiting doesn’t always make sense. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons before making the decision that’s right for you.

City examining options City ex for disposal of biosolids for disp From A1

A good general rule of thumb is if it doesn’t come from your body, don’t flush it. It is not out of sight, out of mind. “Every time a pump fails or a sewer backs up, obviously there is a cost to it,” Wightman said. “We’re all paying sewer rates and it takes some of the money we could be using for other things to make emergency repairs. “And it’s also potential backups. If you’re putting things down there that are not meant to be down there, there’s a potential that your service or main on your street could back up. Nobody wants to be dealing with that.” From the screening area, the liquid is transported underground to a covered pond, where methane gas is burned off via a giant flame, resembling the Olympic Torch. Next, the liquid moves to an open pond known as the bioreactor, where environmental conditions are created to allow growth of bacteria, which then eat the waste to treat the sewage. The bacteria then settle on the bottom, resulting in irrigation water (transported by pipe under the river to Cinnamon Ridge and Kamloops Airport for fighting fires), biosolids and water that goes back into the river, the latter of which is further sterilized with ultraviolet light. Wightman said he would swim in that water, but he would not drink it — though, apparently, some politicians have consumed it in the past. It does not, however, meet the standards of drinking water, he said. Overall, it takes two days to treat sewage at Mission Flats. Meanwhile, the city remains backed up when it comes to biosolids. When the city improved its sewage-treatment process in 2014, it began producing

They’re getting smellier, in fact, as Arrow Transportation awaits a court injunction to take effect that will allow it to transport that stockpile to the Turtle Valley Bison Company near Chase, where it will be mixed with native soils and used to reclaim a forested area of the property. Wood chips are mixed into the biosolids to help stem the stench. Protestors have been blocking trucks owned by Arrow, which was hired by the city to manage in the short-term its biosolids. According to a court order, opponents have until this Saturday to remove the blockade. The city maintains that while others are getting information from different sources, it relies on provincial regulations that oversee biosolids, which deems class B biosolids beneficial for agricultural purposes. “People need to be aware that this isn’t just a Kamloops issue, this isn’t just something we’re doing in Kamloops,” Wightman

Nikki said they attempted to drill a well on the slope where the biosolids application is planned, noting the hole went 450 feet deep without reaching water. After selectively logging the slope to deal with dead trees and to create a fireguard for the rest of the ranch’s property, the Schiebels said it was their intention to plant on the slope to grow feed and mitigate possible slope stability and runoff issues created by the logging. They found the soil on the slope poor. The Schiebels said they were initially wary when Arrow approached them with the biosolids plan. Nikki said a look at evidence compiled by scientists who study soil and water changed their minds. Nikki said her research into the topic has satisfied her that the concentrations of biosolids are small enough that there is no threat to human health. The ranch’s property has been the subject of vandalism since the biosolids debate began. A sign for the ranch was defaced with profanity, an RV was shot with a paintball gun and, most recently, broken glass was thrown into the yard of one of the houses on the property.

SOMETIMES WE NEED TO LET GO

e write an awful lot about politics and other societal ills in these editorial spaces, but sitting in a park on a sunny morning, watching people relax and listening to the birds chirping and grass growing, it all seems so very far away. In many ways, it is. Worries about whether construction projects are going to be union or non-union, crime rates, good and bad decisions by city councils, the problems of homelessness and drug abuse — they all fade away as we slow down. It doesn’t mean those problems are gone or meaningless. They are very real, requiring real thought and real solutions. But in the discussion, the arguments and the details, the real goal gets lost. We rarely speak about it, but the overall goal is creating a world where we can all share equally in what the U.S. Declaration of Independence calls “the pursuit of happiness.” It’s not easy to figure out what creates happiness. Too often, we replace that pursuit of happiness with the acquisition of status symbols and other forms of instant gratification, such as Facebook likes. We need to have a larger — more long-term — vision, especially on the part of our politicians and bureaucrats. We need laws, we need solutions to the problems, but we should always have that long-term vision of creating a better place to live for everyone. The easier path, of course, is to continue on as we have been. Or we can slow down, relax and figure what really brings happiness for everyone in the long term, like building affordable housing instead of McMansions for the one per cent. And then, make sure the politicians know what we want. Their happiness comes from being in office. Let’s make sure they know what they have to do if they want to retain that happiness.

The union battle zone

ne of the big battles of the Christy Clark years was imposing an openshop construction contract for the Site C dam project in northeast B.C. BC Hydro’s latest dam is the first to depart from the closed shop of boilermakers, pipefitters, teamsters and other oldschool international unions that have been joined at the hip with the NDP since the party formed. The main civil works contract for Site C, the largest in this $10-billion project, went to a consortium of contractors, with a workforce represented by the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC). John Horgan and other NDP politicians seethed as Clark took the stage with Tom Sigurdson, executive director of the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council, to announce the shared site. Now Horgan and his labour minister, former United Steelworkers employee Harry Bains, are turning back the clock to a monopoly of U.S.-based unions. Their first move, setting up a Crown corporation to restrict major public works to their 19 favoured unions, is headed for court. Now comes the NDPBuilding Trades bid to push CLAC, the Canada West Union and other such unions out of large-scale private construction as well. CLAC is not only at Site C. It and affiliated contractors have about 70 per cent of the Trans Mountain pipeline expan-

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA sion project, including rebuilding the Westridge Terminal in Burnaby, and several pipeline “spreads” along the line, says CLAC vice-president Ryan Bruce. And the Kitimat liquefied natural gas plant and associated pipeline are up next. “We’ll be working on two or three spreads of Coastal GasLink,” Bruce told me. “We’ve been working at the LNG Canada site on site prep. Those contracts haven’t all been awarded yet, but we will certainly be a player on a good portion of the LNG projects, once they get underway.” LNG Canada, as Horgan and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau never tire of reminding us, is the largest private-sector investment in Canadian history, with a $40-billion price tag. The building trades, noted for strict “craft lines,” higher costs and “no raid” deals with each other, are not happy. In Horgan’s B.C., they’ve already got a lock on the Pattullo Bridge replacement, Trans-

Canada Highway widening and Broadway subway in Vancouver — and they want the big private stuff, too. Bains sent an expert panel of business and labour around the province last year to consult on a new Labour Relations Code. The experts recommended a three-year period between “raids” to sign up workers of another union. Horgan and Bains accepted the stability this offers, except for big construction. There, unions can raid every July and August, when building activity is at its peak. There was already a raid on Site C in 2017. Organizers descended on Fort St. John Airport to meet CLAC workers, in some cases following them into the massive work camp to lobby them to sign a new card. It failed, but the new legislation welcomes them back. It turns construction sites into a summer “battle zone,” said Paul de Jong, president of the Edmonton-based Progressive Contractors Association of Canada, which works with CLAC, other multiskill unions and provinces with sensible raid rules. This column recently discussed the union-only raise for community care workers. This is essentially a mega-raid on 17,000 non-union employees of contract agencies that care for developmentally disabled people. And the NDP’s union monopoly plan is just getting started. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

KAMLOOPS NEEDS A CATH LAB Editor: Al Patel, who founded the ICCHA/Wish Fund, continues with his efforts to have a catheter lab installed at Royal Inland Hospital. It is difficult, after suffering a heart attack, to wait in Kamloops for that golden ticket to Kelowna to get a test that is 100 per cent accurate in assessing a blockage in the heart. The stress my family endured in 2012 was harrowing. At that time, I had eight events during a 10-day stay at RIH, most with troponin leaks. A heart condition called ventricular tachycardia was causing the cardiac events. I had a MEBE test at RIH that was negative. As I got off the table, another episode of ventricular tachycardia occurred followed by a heart attack, which led me to my first of two stays in the hospital’s intensive-care unit. On the 10th day, a cardiolo-

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The Kamloops Symphony performs with the Kamloops-Thompson Honour Choir during the season’s final show on May 11 at the Oasis Church.

KSO DESERVES GREAT VENUE Editor: Kamloops Symphony’s last concert of the season last weekend involved a huge choir and an augmented orchestra. There was a work premiered with the composer in the audience. There was another in which a clarinet player — fully dressed in fishing gear — sat at the front of the stage in a makeshift boat and recreated a fishing story. Orchestra members played with their breath as well as their assigned instruments, making whooshing sounds by breathing in a certain way. The clarinet was the fishing rod and a fish was caught. These two fairly short pieces formed the first half. The second half of the program was the 65-minute Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. It was a wonderful, rousing, fullbodied, exhilarating choral work inspired by some rather raunchy medieval poetry. A choir of 200 was posi-

tioned above an orchestra of 65. Topping it off, a children’s choir with the most glorious clear voices and perfect diction sang twice. The orchestra had some standout performances, notably the principal flute player, Heather Beaty. The fiveperson percussion section accented the rising and falling emotional impact with everything from a gentle tap on a triangle to full swings onto the bass drum. It seemed every member of the orchestra and choir was fully present, with all eyes on conductor Dina Gilbert, who is amazing. And the soloists — tenor Zack Finklestein, baritone Michael Nyby and soprano Chelsea Rus — have strong international reputations. How does KSO do it? This was an event worthy of a great concert hall. It is obvious we need a venue that matches Gilbert’s strength. Leslie Hall Kamloops

gist from Vancouver was doing rounds in my room as another event began. She quickly got me hooked up to an ECG. Just like you see on TV, a team of nurses and doctors rushed me down to ICU for the second time. They then called for a helicopter to rush me to Kelowna, but none were available, so a team of three specialized heart nurses accompanied me to Kelowna late that night. An angiogram was done the next day and the cardiologist behind the glass noted 90 per cent and 80 per cent blockages in the main artery. Options were stents or openheart surgery. Two stents were inserted and I was discharged the next day after passing a treadmill test. The nurses and doctors who looked after me in Kamloops were amazing and I would not be writing this without their care. They could only work with

PEACE WALK, SOUNDING LOUDER ... Editor: Last Saturday, the annual peace walk attracted about 150 people — a good crowd, but it would have been nice to see many more, especially considering today’s atmosphere of violence in many countries. I was puzzled by the route taken this year. The march went through less populated streets instead of going down busy Victoria Street.

It almost seemed as though we did not want to embarrass people on that street. Isn’t the peace walk meant to make people aware there is a peace walk? I hope the route is changed next year to include Victoria Street. Gene McDonnel Kamloops

How would you add vitality to the North Shore? KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Better-connected pathways and trails, more (and wider) sidewalks, perhaps a pedestrian bridge across the Thompson River, more clothing stores and formal dining and a more generous revitalization tax-exemption policy. These are a few of many suggestions designed to revitalize the commercial zones on the North Shore. They are contained in the 2019 North Shore Business Improvement Association Membership and Community Planning Input Sessions Report, a document created via consultation between the NSBIA staff and board and its member businesses. The report details members’ ideas under five key themes: infrastructure, commercial growth, transportation, community building and common spaces.

NSBIA executive director Jeremy Heighton said another document in the coming weeks will outline which projects to various budget lists. The North Shore houses about 43 per cent of Kamloops’ population, with 39,225 people living north of the river. There are 430 businesses serving the area. 1. Infrastructure: focus on more easily navigable sidewalks, connect existing trails systems, improve Tranquille Corridor sidewalks by reducing the number of planter boxes, increasing seating-only benches (with bars to discourage lounging) and expanding lighting to include sidewalks. 2. Commercial growth: seek more diversity in children’s and women’s clothing stores, pursue a department store and/ or smaller boutique

outlets, help establish a more formal, adult-style restaurant to join the 43 eateries now on the North Shore, 3. Transportation: scrap parkingminimum rules for developers and let the market determine the ratio, creating partial transit service earlier in the morning and later at night and have Kamloops Airport pursue international designation more stridently. 4. Community building: create areas where buskers and public art can be featured, emphasize festival events such as Brewfest, connect the North Shore to downtown with an expanded footbridge separate from Overlanders Bridge, examine the possibility of more dog parks and the return of a pool to McDonald Park and address safety issues at street level. There was also talk of revamping the

Commons spaces: create more lively green spaces along corridors, focus on street-level

activities and repurpose under-utilized areas. The report did note that the area’s homeless population emerged as a central theme throughout the input process. “Many respondents were unable to articulate their desire to be socially responsible and balance it with the desire to reside in a safe and prosperous community that balances the needs of all parties,” the report stated. “Communitysupportive housing was supported, with the consideration of community expectations being fulfilled.”

DAVE EAGLES/KTW The NSBIA is examining many ways to revitalize an area of Kamloops that is already undergoing a major transformation, with myriad developments being proposed and nearing completion.

Policy prevented fire agencies from fighting the flames MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Locals came to the aid of LeBeau Bros. Logging Ltd. when three of the company’s trucks went up in flames last Friday night. The action from passersby was in lieu of service from Kamloops Fire Rescue or the BC Wildfire Service, both of which attended, but did not attack the flames. At about 8 p.m., on May 10, multiple explosions were heard and thick black smoke was seen billowing into the sky from the company’s yard on Shuswap Road, near the Lafarge plant, east of the city limits. LeBeau Bros. Logging Ltd. confirmed on its Facebook page that three trucks had caught fire. “Thanks to everyone who came out to help tonight,” Tracy LeBeau wrote on the page, alongside photos of the fire. “Words can’t express our appreciation. We’ll let you guys know, when we do, what caused it. As of now, thee trucks gone. Good news, nobody injured.” Kamloops Fire Rescue did not action the fire as it was outside its jurisdiction. KFR Chief Mike Adams told KTW the department informed BC Wildfire Service of the fire, with the service monitoring the situation. Kamloops RCMP also responded to the scene. Adams said if a fire outside KFR’s boundary is threatening the city, firefighters would work in partnership with the agencies that do

have jurisdiction in the area to offer help fighting the fire. He noted the fact there was another fire in Kamloops — a mobile home blaze at Ord Road and Singh Street — about 20 minutes after the Lebeau LeBeau Bros. Logging call that required KFR’s attention. “The resources that would have been applied to the one outside our jurisdiction would not have been available to suppress the fire that was on Ord,” Adams said. KFR covers properties within the city limits, as well as on the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc reserve through an agreement with the City of Kamloops. BC Wildfire Service fire information officer Hannah Swift confirmed a response officer attended the property to assess the situation. She said the BCWS isn’t trained nor equipped to handle vehicle fires or other structures and only handles grassfires on Crown land. “We don’t have the equipment and the safety precautions necessary to be dealing with structures because of the chemicals found in them,” she said. “Our jurisdiction is Crown land.” Swift said the gravel pit surrounding the trucks was considered large enough that there was no risk of the fire spreading beyond and into grasslands. Craig LeBeau told KTW on Tuesday that he still doesn’t know what caused the fire, but noted he has hired an investigator to look into it. The blaze started in one truck

and spread to two others. LeBeau said he doesn’t believe the fire was maliciously set. He expects the incident to cost the company about $150,000 for the vehicles that weren’t covered by insurance for fire damage. According to LeBeau, a couple of people working for Habitat for Humanity in the area spotted the fire and moved other trucks in the yard out of harm’s way. “They saw black smoke and thought something’s not right and just went back there and took care of things,” he said. Neighbours and family members, including one person who had a water truck, responded to knock down the flames. “Between us all, we managed to put it out and nobody got hurt putting it out,” LeBeau said. Tracy LeBeau lauded those who helped. “Just random people were coming in to help,” she said. “They did a great job. It could have got out of hand.” She said no one was monitoring the yard when the fire began. “Now we have a couple drivers out of work and we have wood to move,” she said. Craig LeBeau said they waited for firefighters to action the fire, but that didn’t happen. “Forestry said it’s not their problem until it crosses into Crown land, so they wouldn’t do anything about it,” he said. “We should have just actioned it ourselves right off the bat. Probably would have saved ourselves a bunch of money.”

A former Kamloops man is behind bars after allegedly taunting police in a Facebook post, bragging about having fled B.C. Jessie Kowalchuk is charged with breaching his probation order stemming from an alleged incident in 2015. In December, the 27-year-

According to Kamloops RCMP Cpl.

because he had been living in Edmonton, Alberta, for three years,” she said. Kamloops Mounties then asked prosecutors to extend Kowalchuk’s outstanding warrants from B.C. to include Alberta. Edmonton Police officers stopped Kowalchuk last week and found he was wanted. He was arrested and transported to Kamloops. “We are very pleased that

A passerby reported seeing a teenaged male start a fire in the grass along the sidewalk of Singh Street, south of Greenfield Avenue, at 5:20 p.m., Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said.

Jodi Shelkie said. “This year is no different.” Between May 6 and May 12 police received 50 theft-from-vehicle reports — incidents that involved doors being left

unlocked, doors being locked, but windows being smashed to steal visible items in the vehicle and three cases in which garage door openers were taken out of vehicles and used to steal more items. Shelkie said the thefts occurred in various neighbourhoods throughout Kamloops, noting items stolen from vehicles included purses, wallets and backpacks.

A man accused of robbing four convenience stores in a span of 30 hours last month is scheduled to be back in a Kamloops courtroom next Tuesday. Ian McPherson, who was was released on bail on April 30, is facing four counts of robbery stem-

Neighbourhood Store at Parkcrest Avenue and Windbreak Street in Brocklehurst. Police said the suspect matched the description of a man wanted for robbing three other convenience stores — the Cornerstone Market at Halston Avenue and 12th

In the cases involving garage door openers, thieves gained entry into the garages and mainly stole bicycles. “Unfortunately, warmer weather means that more thieves are roaming the streets,” Shelkie said. “The only way to protect your vehicle and your home is to always lock the doors and take all valuables out of the car, including the garage door opener.”

Sooner or later, the police will find them. In this case, the suspect aided us by giving his current location.” Kowalchuk was scheduled to appear in Kamloops provincial court this Thursday for a bail hearing.

Mayor to meet with B.C land title CEO JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian will meet next week with the CEO of the Land Title and Survey Authority of B.C., following a request from council. The city requested a meeting with LTSA CEO Connie Fair, in addition to Forests Minister Doug Donaldson, to ask for a moratorium on the relocation of documents from the local office in Kamloops to Victoria. In a response to council, Donaldson referred the city to the LTSA. “Whereas the LTSA is an independent, statutory authority governed by a board of directors and is responsible for the day-to-day operations, maintenance and management of BC’s land title and survey systems,” Donaldson wrote to council. “As such, the LTSA is best suited to meet with you on the matters you have raised.”

The mayor said he will be meeting with Fair on May 24. The ThompsonNicola Regional District also sent a letter to the province, requesting reversal of a decision to move the documents. TNRD director and Kamloops Coun. Mike O’Reilly brought forward the request, which was carried by the board. O’Reilly cited concerns over lack of First Nations consultations and a dozen private research jobs that rely on the documents. He stressed the importance of the documents and said they are safe in Kamloops, as the city does not have seismic concerns that exist in Victoria. O’Reilly also noted the local office was recently upgraded. Kamloops MLAs Todd Stone and Peter Milobar have also sounded the alarm, stating earlier this year that they had heard rumours the local office would be closing. In addition, Whispering Pines Clinton Indian

City seeking cash for housing study The City of Kamloops will apply for provincial funding to assess its housing needs. Council on Tuesday approved an application for $50,000 from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s new housing needs report program. Social development supervisor Natalie Serl said the city underwent an assessment in 2012, with the goal of improving affordable housing, and a revision was conducted last year by Thompson Rivers University’s School of Business and Research and Graduate Studies. However, Serl added, amendments to the Local Government Act require municipalities to publish reports, detailing current and projected housing needs for at least five years. Kamloops is eligible to apply for $50,000, based on its population. Serl said the bulk of the research has already been done and she does not anticipate needing the full amount, with money going toward public engagement, meetings and collaboration with housing providers in order to create a more fulsome report.

Correction A story published in the Friday, May 10, edition of Kamloops This Week incorrectly stated the civic operations committee has been tasked with reviewing single-use plastic items. In fact, the committee has been tasked with reviewing all single-use items, in addition to a commercial recycling program.

Band Chief Michael LeBourdais last month launched legal action this week to stop the

movement of the original documents. A Land Title Office spokesperson told

KTW the office is remaining in the city, but will be relocating from its current site

in the Kamloops Law Courts building. The spokesperson added that documents are

City staff concurred with Christian. “Through his statement that he has publicly declared to not have an open mind on this, I believe Coun. Walsh has effectively recused himself from the public hearing on this matter,” corporate officer Maria Mazzotta said. Christian reminded council to consider comments prior to the public hearing. “We’re going to be a slim bench if we go down that road,” he said. Council voted 7-1 in favour of sending the project to a public hearing at a later date, with Walsh opposed and Bill Sarai absent.

During Tuesday’s council meeting, Coun. Denis Walsh commented on the proposed development at 8960 Dallas Dr., which requires rezoning to allow commercial day care and 19 multi-family units. While Coun. Arjun Singh inquired about the location’s proximity to grocery and transit and its designation as urban, Walsh took things further, questioning how the city’s planning department allowed the project to come forward in light of perceived urban sprawl. He recommended against sending the project to a public hearing, a meeting at which councillors are expected to maintain an open mind before hearing from the public and making a decision. “I will confess to not having an open mind,” Walsh said, arguing adding to the area in east Kamloops effectively expands city boundaries, impacting the city’s greenhouse gas targets. “I don’t see how we could, from a plan-

Kamloops’ first cidery is a true family affair “

MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Debbie Woodward’s sons were grown. And their parents were now all alone. But when the boys found cider They were back beside her. To start a business that was homegrown. From a blue tractor that lost its brakes on a hill to a grandmother’s passion for crude limericks, the Kamloops residents behind the Privato Winery in Westsyde are venturing into a new craft beverage business inspired by family memories. Woodward Cidery Co. is the first of its kind to bubble up in the Tournament Capital, opening its doors this past Wednesday at the longstanding winery at 5505 Westsyde Rd. to a crowd of dignitaries. The entrepreneurs behind the business are Ben, Adam and Tim Woodward — the sons of Debbie and John Woodward, who have operated the winery side of the farm for the past eight years. It was “a dream come true” to

”

see her three sons show an interest in being back on the farm after having left home to pursue their own interests, Debbie Woodward told KTW. “It’s really pulled us together as a family,” she said. “We were a close family anyways, but now we’ve got this project to work on, so it’s a lot of fun, whether we’re bottling or labelling or mashing in the fall. “We’re all working together now and it’s great.” Her sons left Kamloops to become professional engineers and were working as project managers for construction outfits when they got the itch to start their own business. “I missed working with my hands,” 29-year-old Adam Woodward said. “I also wanted to do something for myself that I could call my own.” His brother Tim, 23, felt the same way and the two began brainstorming ideas for their own

— ADAM WOODWARD

business, recruiting older brother Ben, 31, in the process. The three siblings thought of joining their parents’ Privato Winery and helping them out, but they also wanted to build something from the ground up. Adam’s girlfriend inadvertently gave them the idea. As she is celiac, her alcohol of choice was often cider, which she introduced to the brothers. One night while drinking cider and brainstorming ideas, the apple hit them on the head. “It just clicked,” Adam said. A cidery made sense. The boys would be able to live the lifestyle they grew up with at their family farm, which contained much of what they needed to succeed — land to start an orchard and much of the equipment required to produce the product. “Most importantly, we had mom and dad,” Adam said, noting his parents’ expertise. The brothers researched the

business and received plenty of help from other craft cideries in the area, including Left Field Cider. “Cider in general, I think, is coming around. I like to describe it as following the craft beer trend,” Adam told KTW. “The cider industry is also shooting up. I think it’s popular as people are becoming more sensitive to their allergies. “Our cider’s totally glutenfree and people are looking for a healthier, more natural product that’s also low in sugar.” At Privato, two acres of apple trees were planted and they remain tiny saplings for now. While waiting on the trees to grow, the Woodward boys produced their first batch of cider this past fall from Okanagan apples. Now three types of their ciders are ready for sale. Blue Tractor is the driest of the bunch — named for the piece of machinery about which every family member has a story. The raspberry-infused cider Send It gets its name from the brothers’ passion for outdoor activity. The not-so-dry 5 Liner honours their grandmother, Anne Genge,

who enjoys writing limericks about her family. With a grin on her face, Genge had the crowd in stitches on Wednesday as she belted out some cheeky verse about her grandsons. Woodward Cider will be sold at the Privato Winery and in some local liquor stores and restaurants. The brothers plan to first serve the Kamloops market before branching out into other areas. Adam said it’s great to come back home and start a new chapter at the farm. “Mom and dad have done several different businesses here on the farm and we’re always changing and adapting to what’s new,” he said. Kamloops Coun. — and Privato neighbour — Dieter Dudy said he is confident the new business will be a success. “To me, it’s not just that you’re starting a business, you’re bringing something to a small farming community that already has a great deal of vibrancy and you’re adding to that,” Dudy told the crowd. A grand opening event for the new cider business will be held this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SD73 to join Pride Parade ANNUAL EVENT WILL BE HELD DOWNTOWN IN AUGUST The KamloopsThompson school district will enter the Kamloops Pride Parade in an official capacity for the first time. In August, SD73 will send a delegation to march in the parade, following a unanimous decision this week by the board of education. Staff members asked that the school district participate in the third annual event, which will be held on Aug. 25. While individuals from SD73 are welcome to participate in the parade if they choose, Supt. Alison Sidow said the board should consider sending a delegation flying the SD73 banner to show the district stands in support of people who “have for far too long felt excluded from the mainstream in Kamloops and our schools.” “We feel it would be a proud moment to be able to walk in the Kamloops Pride Parade,” Sidow said.

SD73

BRIEFS SD73 director of instruction Trish Smillie will organize the delegation. VALLEYVIEW CASH SOURCE IDENTIFIED The school district is using funds saved for the employers health tax to help fund its portion of the Valleyview secondary expansion. The overcrowded high school will receive a $34.5-million facelift, with the lion’s share being funded by the province. SD73 is on the hook for $1.75 million. As the province will be covering the cost of the employers’ health tax, the school district is setting aside $425,000 it had earmarked for that, along with $398,000 from other reserves to help cover their share. SD73 will also budget $927,000 over three years from surplus

funds to contribute the $1.75 million. The school board approved the staff recommendation to transfer and budget the funds unanimously without any discussion. SD73 is currently in the process of determining an architect to design the expansion of the high school. Valleyview secondary sits at 140 per cent of its capacity, with 942 students filling space meant for 675 students. The expansion project is expected to start in September and be completed by the 2022-2023 school year, with space for 1,200 students. SUN PEAKS, SD73 TO FORM COMMITTEE School District 73 and the municipality of Sun Peaks are forming a steering committee to discuss short- and longterm needs for more space at the resort community’s elementary school.

SD73 board chair Kathleen Karpuk said invitations will be issued shortly, noting an announcement of committee members will be made public once those members are in place. The decision to strike the committee came during discussions between the board, council and Sun Peaks’ parent advisory council. Building a new K-12 school to combat consistent growth is among the top priorities SD73 has identified in its long-range facilities report. Sun Peaks elementary consists of four portable buildings that house more than 100 students. The PAC has been lobbying SD73 for an interim solution to the space shortage at the school, noting one or two more portables could fit on the existing site in the resort municipality

Kamloops doctor wins award

Hillside Stadium KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Saturday, June 1 st 5:00pm - 9:30pm Hillside Stadium DE TAIL S AT BCLION S.COM

This Sunday is BC Family Doctor Day, a day set aside to salute the province’s 6,000 family doctors. As part of the annual celebration, the BC College of Family Physicians has announced award recipients for 2019 — and a Kamloops doctor is among physicians receiving kudos. Dr. Steven Broadbent is one of five recipients of the My Family Doctor Award, a patient-nominated honour. One of Broadbent’s patients noted: “I feel like I have developed a great relationship with him and I truly trust his medical opinion. “He is well connected with the available resources in the community and he values his fellow professionals’ opinions. He is not too proud to ask a specialist for advice.”

DR. STEVEN BROADBENT

Broadbent, who practises in an office at Columbia Street and Greenstone Drive in lower Sahali, graduated from Leicester University in England and completed his family medicine and basic surgical training in the United Kingdom. On relocating to Canada, he spent more than three years practicing in Clearwater, followed by a move to Kamloops two years ago. Broadbent describes family practice as “challenging, with constantly shifting evidence; no two days are ever the same especially with

my complex care practice. Over two-thirds of health care occurs in our [family medicine] domain, meaning we can make real differences in conjunction with working with our patients.” Other recipients of the My Family Doctor Award are doctors Elizabeth Payne of Port Coquitlam, Christopher Collins of Nanaimo, Marlowe Haskins of Smithers and Margo Sweeny of Vancouver. Other BC College of Family Physicians award winners: • BC Family Physician of the Year: Dr. Catherine Textor of Prince George; • First Five Years of Practice Award: Dr. Aryn Khan of Vanderhoof; • Small Changes, Big Difference Award: Opioid Agonist Treatment Force, an initiative of the SurreyNorth Delta Division of

Family Practice; • Resident Leadership Award: Dr. Saima Ali; • Dr. Manoo and Jean Gurjar Award, BCCFP Family Medicine Resident Scholarship: Dr. Natalie Chan and Dr. Vincent Wong. Dr. Jeanette Boyd, president of the BC College of Family Physicians, said research shows that having your own family doctor is good for your health, noting it is the doctor-patient relationship that makes the difference. “We know that when communities have sufficient numbers of family doctors, they have lower rates of hospitalizations and emergency room visits, higher cancer detection rates and improved management of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease,” Boyd said.

TODD ROAD WORK BEGINS

KTW PHOTO

The city has awarded the $4-million Todd Road pedestrian improvement project to BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd., with Phase 1 of construction starting this week. The city received four proposals for the project, which will see improvements — highly anticipated by area residents — to Todd Road between Klahanie Drive and Ronde Lane. Work includes a raised sidewalk, concrete curbing, a crosswalk on Todd Road near Ronde Lane, improved bus stops, road repaving, additional lighting and retaining walls. Construction during the first phase will limit traffic to single-lane alternating traffic, accessible to local traffic only. Construction is expected to take place Mondays to Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pedestrian access will be maintained through the construction zone, while bus traffic via route No. 17 will be rerouted between lower Lamar Drive and upper Lamar Drive, beginning May 21.

Mapping out forestry projects in B.C. SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

An agency established to provide funding for projects that enhance the province’s forests has mapped out all of the ways it has distributed government money. The Forest Enhancement Society of B.C. funds projects that reduce or avoid carbon emissions, fertilize trees or plant trees in areas that otherwise wouldn’t be reforested. A recent undertaking by the society is a map locating many of the projects funded, available online at fesbc.ca. A local example of FESBC funding being put to use is a project created to avoid carbon emissions at the Domtar pulp

mill. Arrow Transportation received funding to retrieve and deliver woodfibre, that otherwise would have been burned, to the Kamloops facility, FESBC executive director Steve Kozuki said. Another nearby is in Logan Lake, where the Logan Lake Community Forest Corporation is using funds to reduce wildfire risk in the community to rehabilitating an area of dead trees. “There are dead pines immediately adjacent to Logan Lake, so the primary purpose was to re-establish trees and ecological processes with all the environmental and habitat benefits,” Kozuki said. The nearby Skeetchestn Indian Band is also putting FESBC funds to work

along the Deadman River. Kozuki said because of all the land use in the area — timber harvesting, wildfires, ranching and agriculture — it was determined the river and surrounding area would benefit from more cottonwood trees. “So, to stabilize the banks, improve wildlife habitat and improve water quality, they wanted to plant cottonwood trees along the river,” he said. The trees also have another benefit. “They’re carbon-sucking machines,” Kozuki said. The provincial government has invested $235 million in FESBC since 2016. In 2018, it awarded $134 million to 71 projects.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q: With all of the services being offered to seniors to keep them in their homes why would I consider a move to a retirement community? A: There are many benefits when considering a move to a retirement community; nutritious well balanced meals, housekeeping, transportation, emergency response and recreational activities. Most importantly, the opportunity to stay socially connected is a benefit that is often overlooked. Building new relationships and social connections with likeminded people can help you live a longer, happier and healthier life. Remaining in your home can result in growing isolation and loneliness. Studies show that having low social interaction is as bad for your health as smoking, alcoholism and as harmful as never exercising. Staying socially active can help you maintain good physical and emotional health and cognitive function as well as help protect against illness by boosting your immune system. While planning for your post retirement years why not choose a place where you can create and enjoy new friendships. Your overall quality of life and health will improve! Guaranteed!

Rangers raising cash to honour Frederick Lee JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Frederick Lee was a Kamloops farmer who died in the First World War. His body was never found.

The Rocky Mountain Rangers are fundraising for a bench at the Hill 70 memorial in France to honour Kamloops veteran Frederick Lee, a Chinese-Canadian who died while fighting in the First World War. Lee fought in the battles of Vimy Ridge and Hill 70. He died at age 21 on the sixth day of the 10-day Hill 70 battle. Lee’s body was never recovered. It is believed the young Kamloops farmer enlisted with the 172nd Battalion on a voluntary basis, prior to conscription. “That is significant,” Rocky Mountain Rangers Association president Michael Young said. “Because, as he was of Chinese heritage, he was not considered a Canadian citizen, but we suspect through his history that

Lee Walkway,” Young said. Additionally, a section of a plaza will honour the 172nd Battalion, considered a lost battalion after it was broken up, with soldiers joining other battalions. One bench is being paid for by the Canadian Chinese Military Museum and the Rocky Mountain Rangers began fundraising about a month ago for the second bench. The Rangers were at city hall on Tuesday, requesting a letter of support from council, which was unanimously supported. “It is a legacy that’s going to belong to Kamloops,” Young said. “You’re going to have 30,000 people a year or more that are going to walk through that

we know of that he would have volunteered out of duty to himself and to prove himself a Canadian.” The Rangers have so far raised $9,000 of $25,000 needed to fund a bench along a pathway honouring Lee as part of The Battle of Hill 70 Memorial Park, which opened in August 2017 in France. Various walkways are being named in honour of fallen soldiers. “The highest of these walkways is going to be officially named Frederick

memorial and they are going to see Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, associated with Frederick Lee, who was killed there. He was from here. He was our brother in arms.” Young said visitors to the memorial will be given an audio presentation narrated by Canadian actor Dan Aykroyd. “They’ll learn about Frederick Lee, they’ll learn about the Rocky Mountain Rangers, the Rocky Mountain Ranger Plaza, all narrated by Dan Aykroyd,” Young said. Anyone wishing to contribute to the cause can call Gerry Jones, vice-president of The Rocky Mountain Rangers Association, at 250-851-1775 or email ggjones5345@gmail.com. Donation in excess of $25 is eligible for a tax receipt. For more information on the Hill 70 memorial, go online to http://www. hill70.ca/.

ASSESSING POSSIBILITY OF WAR IN THE GULF

SAFETY IN NUMBERS

City of Kamloops employee Britney Keys (left) takes part in an AED refresher course in the public boardroom at city hall under the direction of aquatics co-ordinator Rosie Sammet. Last week was North American Occupational Safety and Health Week, an initiative that aims to highlight the importance of occupational safety and health awareness and to foster a safety-minded culture.

Suited Up wants to help Kamloops grads TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

Graduation should be a special time in someone’s life and, for most people, it is. But for some students — those facing financial hardships, for example — graduation can be more stressful than it is exciting. Some may even choose to not participate. Digital content creator and social media influencer Sultan Sandur has taken a step forward in an attempt to make graduation better for a couple of local kids with a program he calls Suited Up. “I noticed that in the community, there are a lot of initiatives that were geared towards finding dresses for female graduates,” he said. “But I didn’t find anything for male graduates.” Sandur decided to leverage his work as a blogger and men’s accessory designer to team up with a number of fashion companies to help dress two deserving local graduates. Companies involved with the initiative include Black and Lee, Tense Watches, Vichy Canada, CeraVe, Conair, McAllister and Howard, Fern & Frond, Ra Hair Salon and Got2B. With those companies on board, the program needs nominations. The only criterion for a nomination is that the student has struggled with adversities in life and still made it to graduation. “Being able to get up to Grade 12 is a major milestone and they’ve already accomplished a lot,” Sandur said.

Suited Up is an inclusive initiative, with male, female and non-binary students eligible to be nominated. Though the initiative is only able to dress two students this year, Sandur hopes the program can expand in the years to come, as there are many more students who could use the support. “There’s so many people in need and this initiative will be able to make two people feel special and two people feel supported by the community,” he said. And, Sandur noted, if more businesses want to join the initiative, there is room for them. Sandur grew up in Kamloops, attending Valleyview secondary and completing his bachelor of arts at Thompson Rivers University. He recently returned to the city to pursue his master’s degree. He said this initiative is his way of giving back to the community. “It’s just a way for me to use my platform to do some good,” he said. Nomination forms can be obtained by emailing Sandur at info@justsultan. com. More information can be found on his website at http://www.justsultan. com/suited-up-initiative/ and by following him on Instagram at www.instagram.com/JustSultanTO. Nominations close on May 22.

.S. President Donald Trump is well known for his desire to cut American military commitments overseas. Indeed, it is one of his most attractive characteristics. But his attention span is short, he plays a lot of golf and he does not have the knack of choosing good advisors. His main domestic advisors on the Middle East are Vice-President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and National Security Adviser John Bolton — all hawks on Iran. His closest allies in the region itself are Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, both of whom can wrap him around their little fingers. And they both want the United States to attack Iran for them. Trump doesn’t want a war with Iran. He has an extrastrength version of the usual Washington obsession with Iran, as irrational and ineradicable as the parallel obsession with Cuba — the United States will forgive and forget anything except humiliation — but he imagines Iran can be bullied and bluffed into submission. His advisers are not that naive. This is not to say Pence, Pompeo or even Bolton prefer war to any other outcome of the current confrontation. They would rather see the sanctions they have imposed on Iran, which are strangling the economy and causing great hardship, lead to a popular uprising and regime change. Fat chance. It’s the ever-popular moral mistake. We would never yield to such blackmail because our cause is just and our will is strong. They will crumble before the same threats because they

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH are weak and they must secretly know they are in the wrong. But if the Iranians perversely refuse to overthrow their government, then Trump’s advisors would accept war as the next-best outcome. Bolton might actually welcome it and may already be involved in manipulating the intelligence to justify such a war in the same way he did in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. (He called a rather peculiar early-morning meeting at CIA headquarters last week.) Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, some players in Iran now appear to be pushing back against the American pressure. They are probably hard-liners associated with the not-so-loyal opposition to President Hassan Rouhani’s moderate government (moderate in the sense he doesn’t want nukes and does want trade with the West) and they may just have given the American war hawks something to work with. If push came to shove, Iran’s one available counter-weight to overwhelming U.S. military strength would be to threaten the tanker traffic that carries 20 per cent of the world’s crude oil and LNG out of the Gulf. The choke point is the Strait of Hormuz, between Iran’s south coast and the United Arab Emirates, where the navigation channels narrow to three

nautical miles wide in each direction. Last Sunday, there was a “sabotage attack” on four merchant ships at anchor off the UAE port of Fujairah, just outside the Strait of Hormuz, where tankers often wait to be refuelled. At least two were Saudi tankers. Something holed all four ships at the waterline and the instant suspicion was that some Iranian group is reminding everybody that Iran can close down the Strait if it is attacked. Or at least that it could do enough damage to drive insurance rates on cargoes transiting the strait into the stratosphere. But it might not be an Iranian group at all. It could be an American, Israeli or Saudi intelligence operation seeking to create a pretext for a U.S. attack on Iran (like the Gulf of Tonkin incident created a pretext for the U.S. to start bombing North Vietnam in 1964). You have to keep an open mind on these things, unless you believe intelligence agencies never lie. At any rate, an actual war against Iran now seems much closer than it did last week. The long-planned transfer of another American aircraft car-

rier into the gulf is now being re-framed as an emergency response to a new (but unspecified) Iranian threat. B-52 bombers that could easily reach Iran from their current bases are being ostentatiously flown into the gulf. Pompeo makes an unscheduled four-hour visit to Iraq. If the United States does attack, nobody will help Iran, even though every other signatory to the no-nukes treaty that Trump trashed knows (and says) Iran has complied with its terms. And the U.S. would only bomb Iran, not invade it on the ground, so the only people who would get hurt in the initial round would be Iranians. But then it would spread: mines in the Strait of Hormuz, missile attacks on Israel by Hezbollah, maybe an uprising by the Shia minority in Saudi Arabia. There would be lots of death and destruction and no possibility of a happy outcome. I really don’t think this is what Trump wants. Maybe somebody should tell him.

Captivating Isle of Capri in the Bay of Naples IRENE BUTLER

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

he Isle of Capri in the Bay of Naples is a gem of Italy and a perfect day trip from the county’s south-western coastal city of Naples. A one-hour ferry ride whisks us to the island. The hilly terrain is dotted with whitewashed grand villas glistening in the sun. Yachts galore come into view as we near the Marina Grande dock — not surprising as Capri is known as a playground for the rich and famous taking a few days off from sailing to nestle into one of the upscale hotels. Farther out, cruise ships are anchored, their passengers no doubt enjoying the beaches. Upon disembarking, my husband Rick and I spot several handy kiosks to purchase a variety of tours around the island coastline. Our focus is a tour to the most famous Capri draw — Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto). This cave illuminated by unearthly blue light is said to be most vibrant on a sunny day –— like today. Our choice of time when the sun’s rays are strongest (noon to 2 p.m.) gives us several hours to bop around Capri Town. A steady line of novel taxies line the water front; the vehicle tops lobbed off and rigged with a canopy for a breezy yet shady ride. White tablecloth restaurants and outdoor seating cafes are in the mix of eateries. Settling in one of the latter for lunch, we shared a gigantic panino caprese — thick tomato slices, slabs of mozzarella cheese, basil and olive oil — the flavours absorbed into fresh baked panini bread. OK, we lack resistance and follow up with an ample slice of tiramisu — each. Duly energized, I breeze

through boutique and souvenir shops, coming away with a dozen packs of naturally scented lemon soaps for folks back home. Back at the dock, we locate our 32-passenger boat and within 15 minutes are near the Blue Grotto … but not that near. Our captain informs us that our boat, along with a dozen others, must wait in a queue and when it’s our turn, a fleet of small rowboats will come alongside, each taking two to four people inside the grotto. We note people lined up on steps descending from a hill near the grotto entrance are also vying for the rowboats. The chaotic activity of jostling, bobbing and bottle-necking of these small crafts provides entertainment for our more than one hour wait.

Although long known to local fishermen, the grotto was put on the world map in 1826 by two Germans— writer Augustus Kopisch and painter Ernst Fries. Subsequent research, however, revealed it was once the private swimming pool of Roman Emperor Tiberius who built a quay in the cave circa 30AD with a shrine to the water nymph. Statues of sea gods Neptune and Triton recovered from the floor of the grotto in 1964 are now housed in a museum. Tiberius had many villas on the island, the ruins of one a 45-minute walk from Capri Town. Our turn at last. Luigi, our rowboat captain, instructs us to lie flat so as to clear the low entrance into the grotto. He also lies back grasping a chain

affixed to the opening and pulls us through to the other side, calling out, “now you can sit.” It’s an unforgettable sight. We are encased in astounding blue light, both eerie and magical in this 54-metre by 30m cave. This anomaly of nature results from sunlight entering through a small underwater aperture that is reflected through the water, combined with the reflection of light off the white sand seafloor. Our heads twist and turn absorbing the vivid azure tones from the cavernous ceiling to where it morphs into shimmering sapphire waters. Stranger still is any movement that ripples the water, as from the boats and ores, creates hues of polished silver. I dip my hand in and sure enough, I am seemingly

wearing a sparkling metal glove. Of the nine boats in the cave, some of the captains, including Luigi, break out in strains of O Sole Mio. Their voices echo off the rock walls. All too soon we exit, and although our breathtaking time in the cave was a mere 10 minutes, my “finance minister” Rick agrees it was worth every Euro. Back in Capri Town we sit with our faces turned toward the sun sipping a cappuccino. We do not budge until it’s time for the last ferry of the day — wishing we had longer in this charming bit of paradise. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate.

FAITH

KAMLOOPS Heresy or modernization Places of Worship

n April 29, a number of prominent Catholic theologians and clerics issued an open letter to the bishops of the Catholic Church accusing Pope Francis of heresy. This is an extremely rare occurrence, but certainly not without precedence. Pope Honorius, who ruled for 13 years in the seventh century, was condemned by the Third Council of Constantinople in 680 for teaching that Christ had one will, rather than two (human and divine), the belief accepted by the church. The term heresy is one that may not be familiar to many. The dictionary defines heresy as “adherence to religious opinion contrary to church dogma.” “Church dogma” means the accepted teachings of the church, often called “the magisterium” in the Catholic church. The magisterium consists of the teachings of the Bible and the authoritative traditions of the church. “Traditions” include the writings of the early church fathers, the pronouncements of the various church councils over the centuries, and the Catechism, which defines in great detail what members of the Catholic church must believe. Conservative Catholics have grown increasingly alarmed at some of the actions and public pronouncements of Pope Francis, particularly in the areas of fitness for receiving of the holy sacraments, inter-faith dialogue and support for disgraced clerics. The first high profile reaction occurred after Pope Francis published a document in April, 2016, which summarized a synod on the family, called Amoris Laetitia (Joy of Love). The Amoris Laetitia document appeared to imply that divorced and remarried Catholics were now able to receive the sacrament of communion without going through the annulment process (a major departure from church practice). In November of the same year, four prominent cardinals posed five questions, called dubia (doubts), to the Pope, ask-

FAITH

ing him to respond. Their stated goal in posing the dubia was to “prevent conflicts and division in the church”. In church tradition, dubia questions simply require a “yes” or “no” answer without theological explanation. Fifteen additional cardinals, archbishops and bishops have since added their names to the dubia letter. Despite all these concerns raised by church leaders, Pope Francis has refused to respond to the dubia questions. The following year, a group of 62 theologians, academics and clergy issued a letter of “filial correction” to the Pope, basically admonishing him for the positions he had taken in the Amoris Laetitia document. This type of action has not been taken against a sitting pope since the 14th century (Pope John XXII in 1333). The third major controversy erupted after Archbishop Carlo Vigano, the former papal nuncio (the Vatican’s senior representative to the United States responsible for vetting and recommending senior papal appointments such as new bishops), accused Pope Francis of willfully ignoring the serious sexual misconduct committed by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. Cardinal McCarrick was found to have sexually abused an altar boy and pressured countless (adult) seminary students into having sex with him. Pope Benedict had suspended the Cardinal from his posts, but Francis re-appointed him to a position of high influence despite knowing of his misconduct. The latest accusations are more sensational because of the allegations of heresy.

Some of the signatories are very well known and respected. One is Father Aiden Nichols, a lecturer at Oxford University and author of almost 50 books of theology. Another is Catholic philosopher Dr. Josef Seifert, president of the new Academy for Life in Lichtenstein. He defended signing the petition in a written statement: “I sign this petition because I agree with the bulk of the letter signed by 20 [now 81] distinguished Catholics and because I believe, as they do, that it is a holy duty of all Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic church, as successors of the Apostles, to examine carefully any serious charge of heresy committed by the Pope. If they find these accusations correct, they have the further duty as brothers in the apostolic Office to tell the Pope without any false and cowardly fear, in all frankness and filled with the same Holy Spirit in which St. Paul publicly criticized and reprimanded the first Pope Peter, whom Christ himself had chosen, that he strayed far from God’s truth and will.” It seems clear that the defenders of Pope Francis have “circled the wagons” and dismissed the heresy letter signatories as “extremists” or “ultra-conservatives” intent on undermining Pope Francis and fomenting schism in the church. One Catholic friend I raised the issue with called them “a bunch of nutters.” But one might also say that Pope Francis’ unwillingness to respond to legitimate concerns about his un-Catholic positions is responsible for these divisions. As of this writing, almost 5,000 Catholics have signed a petition of support for the letter. I’m one of them. I guess that makes me a “nutter.”

Record fair to mark 10th anniversary SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

rant Zwicker figures the record fair started in about 2007. So that means it isn’t quite the 10th annual, but it is the 10th time campus and community radio station CFBX has offered music and wares from its library along with tunes from a variety of vendors and collectors. “We missed one year, and once switched from spring to fall — spring has always been way better,” Zwicker said. The station manager said the fair was started by volunteer Brian Saunderson, who conceived the fair as a fundraiser for the station. Saunderson’s timing was just right, just as the resurgence of vinyl records began, and Zwicker said the sale has been growing ever since. “If wax cylinders had been coming back, we probably would have done those,” Zwicker said. But in the basements of aging fathers everywhere, it’s mostly vinyl records that fill their cabinets, and that’s the kind of music that tends to show up at the fair. “A lot of stuff — ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s. Loverboy-type stuff. Led Zeppelin, The Eagles… and that’s what teenagers seem to go for,” Zwicker said. Zwicker said the station also has a supply of classical music that is prime for the taking. “There’s a staggering number of beautiful classical music

records that is still, in some cases, sealed or inside both sleeves — just babied,” he said. Among the teens testing the waters of their parents’ glory days of music are also serious collectors looking to grow their collection or offload something special. Although Zwicker didn’t see this item in particular at the fair,

he recalled a rarity sometimes sought after — a 1988 Beatles box set in a roll-top box — that typically sells for $800 or more, and said that’s the kind of thing collectors are just waiting to show up at record fairs like this one. Among the new attractions this year is London Drugs, which will also be contributing to the record fair for the first time —

Documentarian focuses on health and wellness alternatives

Upcoming event will screen two health and wellness films and local panels SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

n event set to be held in Kamloops in early June will feature two health and wellness documentaries and panel discussions with cast members and local wellness professionals, assembled by filmmaker Laurent Goldstein. Goldstein will screen two of his films, Your Second Fifty and On a Scale of 1 to 10. The two films are connected, Goldstein says. Your Second Fifty is based on Frank Moffatt’s book of the same name and explores the idea of living a fulfilling, active life even after reaching life’s more senior age milestones. “In that film, we wanted to inspire people, to tell them that turning 50 or 60 or 70 that your life is not over — you can actually have the best part of your life then in your second 50,” Goldstein said. His latest film, On a Scale of 1 to 10, addresses chronic pain and how those who suffer from it have coped and healed through methods not typically prescribed by medical doctors. The film’s crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo raised about $17,000 and it premiered in Vancouver in March. The treatments and therapies explored in the film range

from using light and sound for treatments to more traditional fields like nutrition and treating inflammation and other emerging treatments like medical cannabis. “For some things there is no science — yet. There are a lot of things out there that are kind of, out there, but there are a lot of things right now that are just being discovered,” Goldstein said. “We are just now finding out about things that didn’t have any foundation, scientifically, but now they are finding the science behind it. The field is evolving so fast.” The 64-year-old filmmaker attended film school in France in his 20s but ended up following another path in life and was producing educational material and software for the chiropractic industry in the U.S. and Canada until the 2008 recession made that business more difficult. It was around that time he made his turn toward filmmaking. He now owns and operates his own film production company and has made three films to date, with a fourth on the way — also health and wellness related. Goldstein said the film is about trying to look at health and wellness from a different perspective. “I want people to be inspired and for something they see to

Laurent Goldstein is the director behind Your Second Fifty and On a Scale of 1 to 10, which will be screened at an upcoming event in Kamloops.

resonate with them,” Goldstein said. To help accomplish that resonance, Goldstein has arranged for various local experts and some of the film’s cast members to appear on stage as part of panel discussions. The event’s speakers include NHL alum and performance coach

Jason Podollan, neuroacoustic researcher Jeffrey Thompson, holistic dentist Ara Elmajian and motivational speaker Brandy Gilmore. Another local contribution to the event comes from Kamloops musician Gorden James. Goldstein heard James in Kelowna and later, when trying to

decide what music to feature in his new film, remembered a tune he’d heard and decided to connect with James. Mind, Body. Reset is on at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on June 1 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are available at Nature’s Fare, 1350 Summit Dr., and online at eventbrite.ca.

Japan’s master of horror delivers with Uzumaki RANDY WAGNER

COMIC KAM

his week we’re taking a look at the work of Junji Ito in the giant omnibus Uzumaki. The book is an incredible story that, once started, you’ll have a difficult time putting it down. This is Japanese literature. If you’re not familiar with the right-to-left format of reading, the book will take a little getting used, but you get the hang of it quickly. The story starts out with a young girl named Kirie who tells the tale of what happened during a cer-

tain period of time in her town of Kurouzu-cho. The first chapter sets the scene with the title The Spiral Obsession and gets right down to business by showing certain “spiral” events and the effects they have on the people of Kurouzu-cho. As the story progresses, the abnormal spiral events increase. These events have very interesting effects on the townspeople. From spiralling ashes to spiralling hair, you never know where another spiral may show up. Before long, odd spirals are everywhere. Some people are able to deal with it with grace and compassion for others, but some go a little off their rockers as they try to cope with the circum-

stances at hand. As the story progresses, things go from bad to worse and it seems no one may be able to survive the catastrophic events unfolding. It’s an eerie little tale that made me take notice of certain things around me in my daily life and even my own home. I began noticing different shapes and it would always draw me back to the book so I could see what happens next. I really enjoy comics that make me think outside of the realm of my own experiences long after I’m done reading. Some things might seem a little odd at times, but they are usually explained as it all unfolds.

25th Annual PROGRESS

By the end of the book, I was left with a few thoughts. Could this actually happen in real life, or is it just the awesome imagination of Ito at work? How would we in the Western world react to such a situation in our midst? Would we handle it any differently? The story draws you in and makes you care for the characters as if they were real individuals, fighting for their very lives. With Ito also doing the artwork, it is a very well thought out and inspiring piece of work. I haven’t been a big fan of foreign comics in the past, but this has changed my outlook quite a bit. It is an omnibus to remember and I highly recom-

mend it, even though it may seem a little off the wall to some. Ito has written more than 38 different stories, most of them in the horror genre with titles like Gyo, The Enigma of Amigara Fault, Tomie and the newly released Smashed. Ito is Japan’s master of horror with works that combine mystery, the macabre and lots of sickening twists. Uzumaki is undoubtedly the most recognized of Ito’s works and also the creepiest. It is recommended for mature readers. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250 Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.

t would be easy to store new vinyl records and never listen to them. They would stay in pristine condition — but their sound would never be heard. That means cleaning and caring for your records is important. First and foremost, when removing your records from their sleeves, make sure you handle them correctly. Always hold your records by the edges, using the flat of your hand along the outside edge. Your fingers should never touch the surface, since you will leave behind dirt, grease and oils that collect in the grooves. The same goes for CDs, which your body’s oils can smudge or scratch. If you must touch the record, then only touch the label in the centre. When removing a record from or placing it back in its sleeves, use your finger tips on the very outside edge to avoid touching any of the surface. Of course, you’ll want to use your record covers to store your records — don’t leave them out in the open where they can gather dust. Use the inner sleeve that comes with the record, as long as it’s still in good condition. If it’s ripped, replace it. If you’re really serious about protecting your records, you can even get plastic anti-static sleeves to replace the paper

RADIO EDIT

sleeves the record came with. While records are played horizontally, you never want to store your records like that. Records stored flat will warp and compress over time. Your records should sit vertically. You can get plastic covers for your records in their sleeves, which will protect the cover art from fading or damage. Remember to keep your records in a cool place, out of sunlight and away from excess moisture. To clean your records, you’ll want to invest in a couple of essential tools. First, you’ll need a carbon fibre brush, which you can run over the surface of your record as it spins on your turntable to remove dust. If you need to clean dirt off of your records, use a solution of 1/4 isopropyl alcohol to 3/4 distilled water and a couple of drops of dish detergent. Drizzle the solution on your record, then gently wipe a microfibre cloth counter-clockwise over your records. There are also devices like an anti-static cleaner that

will clean your records for you when put them into the machine. To clean your turntable, use a microfibre cloth to clean dust off the surface. Keep your stylus, or needle, clean too. Don’t let dust or lint build up on your stylus. Blow it clean regularly and replace your stylus as it gets worn out. Your stylus should spin firmly in the grooves your records. If you find the sound of your records getting muffled, dipping in quality or volume, or any other sound problems, it may be time to replace your stylus. If the stylus skips or drifts across your record, then replace your needle. If you have static in your speakers, it may be a good time to get your connections checked, the speaker wires replaced, or have your amplifier’s knobs and pick ups cleaned. Dust and dirt can get into your connections and degrade the connections between them and the rest of your turntable set up.

Nogic rounds out WolfPack coaching stable Goran Nogic is tasked with leading the TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team to new heights. The 47-year-old bench boss from Belgrade, Serbia, was named the squad’s head coach on Wednesday, replacing Scott Reeves, who was dismissed in March after 13 seasons on the job. “Goran’s experience at elite levels and the success he has achieved really set him apart in this search,” WolfPack athletics and recreation director Curtis Atkinson said in a TRU Sports Information press release. “The fact he is well connected internationally is also appealing when it comes to recruitment. “Even though he hasn’t worked in the Canadian university sport

system, we are very confident about Goran’s ability to adjust to the university level in Canada.” Nogic, who moved to Canada with his family in September of 2015, most recently ran North Vancouver-based 3D Basketball Academy and has professional coaching experience

in Serbia and Portugal. “The possibility to challenge and share my coaching philosophy at the university sports level was the main reason I wanted this position,” Nogic said in the press release. “At the same time, I believe and I hope that together with the players, directors and all supporters of the program we can change the current status of WolfPack women’s basketball in the Canadian basketball community, as well as the chance to promote Kamloops as a sports city.” The Pack are 14-46 and have not reached the post-season since Canada West eliminated divisions in time for the 2016-2017 season. TRU dropped its final six contests in 2018-2019 to finish 4-16 and place 14th among 16 teams in

Opponents outscored the rebuilding WolfPack 1,464 to 1,156, an average of 15.4 points per game. “During our search, one respected basketball leader described him as the best technical coach he has ever seen,” Atkinson said. “His high-level knowledge and understanding of the game — as well as his history with a variety of athletes all over the world — will help him to adjust quickly.” Ken Olynyk and Joe Enevoldson ran the team on an interim basis when it made the jump to U Sports in 2005-2006. Scott Reeves

took over in 2006-2007. Olynyk was the athletics and recreation director for 16 years, but retired last January and was replaced by Atkinson, who spent much of last season analyzing his coaching stable. Kelly Shantz resigned from his post as WolfPack women’s soccer head coach after the 2018 campaign and was replaced by Mark Pennington. Chad Grimm and Pat Hennelly are in charge of the women’s and men’s volleyball programs, respectively, Scott Clark leads the WolfPack men’s basketball team, John Antulov is at the helm of the men’s soccer outfit, Brad Dalke is head coach of the swimming team and Carmin Mazzota guides the cross-country runners.

First-year B.C. Lions’ head coach DeVone Claybrooks fielded questions from media on Day 2 of rookie camp at Hillside Stadium on Thursday. Here’s what he had to say: HOW HAS THE ADJUSTMENT PERIOD BEEN? You mean like all these microphones in my face after every practice? No, it’s been fun. Guys are doing a great job, TRU is doing a great job of hosting, great facilities. Everything’s been good. Hopefully, we just keep this train going.

CFL.CA PHOTO B.C. Lions’ bench boss DeVone Claybrooks is adjusting to life as a head coach in the CFL. Rookie camp began on Wednesday at Hillside Stadium and Claybrooks was champing at the bit to take the field.

WERE YOU JUST AS EXCITED AS THE ROOKIES GET HERE? I was like a kid on Christmas counting down the hours. Now, you really get to coach football. These last three, four months, you’ve been prepping in your playbook. Now you get to see the fruits of your labour. You’ve got all the ingredients and you want to see what kind of soup you’re going to make. Hopefully, I make some chicken noodle.

HOW CONCERNING WAS THE LABOUR DISPUTE? It always ends up working out in the 12th hour. The same thing happened in ’14. We knew that something was going to get done. We were operating as if it was going to happen and it did.

WHAT CAN BRETT BOYKO BRING TO THE TEAM? I think he can bring versatility. He’s a proven O-lineman who’s been successful in other leagues, played at a high level. He makes us better, adds to our depth. It gives us flexibility in other aspects, other areas of the team.

WHAT IS ONE AREA YOU WANT TO SEE THE TEAM IMPROVE IN? I just think overall we need to be more consistent. In the past, it was inconsistent play. One week, you look like game breakers. The next week, you look like the Bad News Bears. You can’t win in this league if you’re not consistent.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW? Just getting everybody acclimated and implementing your system. You know it’s not going to be a smooth transition and you’re going to get resistance from guys. They have to understand the standard is the standard and it’s not going to be compromised for anybody.

HOW ARE THE NEW COACHES SETTLING IN? They know me. They know what I’m going to tolerate, what I’m not going tolerate, the standard of what I want. It’s like a brotherhood and the best part is we all like each other. We hang out outside of work. I think you’ve got to have that camaraderie to try to have something special.

ROYALTIES FOR THE KIDS The 10th Royal Cup road hockey tournament was held on Saturday in McDonald Park and raised about $14,000 for KidSport Kamloops. Sixteen teams, many of them featuring current and past majorjunior hockey players, were in action, with cash raised through a beer garden, donations and a 50-50 draw. Casa De Cassie bested the Dukes of Hazzard to claim its second consecutive Royal Cup title. HOOPS TOURNEY ProHop Basketball Club’s third annual tournament will run from May 24 to May 26 in Kamloops, with 70

SPORTS LIONS’ GM CONTINUING YOUTH MOVEMENT MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ed Hervey is aiming to shave a few more years off his B.C. Lions. The Lions’ general manager spoke to KTW on a drizzly morning at Hillside Stadium on Thursday — Day 2 of the CFL club’s rookie camp in Kamloops. “We’re trying to get younger as we move some veterans out of here,” Hervey said. “That’s been a common goal since I’ve become a GM.” Hervey was the Edmonton Eskimos’ GM from 2013 to 2016 and moved into the role with the Lions in time for the 2018 campaign, taking the job from Wally Buono, who stayed on as head coach until his retirement after last season. “Do I feel like it’s more of what I want?” said Hervey, who hired head coach DeVone Claybrooks in December. “Of course. We’ve shifted in that direction and will continue to do that until we have a championship.” Rookie camp wraps up on Friday, with practise slated to run from 8:30 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. Main camp gets underway at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday with a noncontact practise. “Ultimately, the buck

stops with me when it comes to players and personnel, but it’s a collective effort and we’re making the changes we need to make,” Hervey said. “We’re trying to get younger and more athletic than we were last year.” BOYKO SIGNS The Lions on Wednesday announced the signing of 6-foot-6, 301-pound offensive lineman Brett Boyko, a 26-year-old Saskatoon product who has spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and San Diego Chargers, mostly on practice squads. B.C. nabbed the University of Nevada, Las Vegas graduate 14th overall in the 2015 CFL Draft. “When you have quality offensive linemen, that’s huge,” Hervey said, noting Boyko is versatile and able to play guard and tackle on both sides of the line. “When you have quality Canadian offensive linemen, that’s even greater.”

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Lorna Heloise Ciriani July 16, 1935 - May 12, 2019

Lorna was born in Leroy, Saskatchewan on July 16, 1935 to Herbert and Lenora Swanson and passed away on Mother’s Day. This was a fitting day, as her family meant the world to her and her proudest joy was her role as a Mom and Nonna. Survived by her loving husband of 61 years John and her children David (Rebecca) and Gerry (Catherine) and her four much loved grandchildren Amelia, Ethan, Danielle and Jordan. Predeceased by her daughter Jean (Jeff Christensen) on May 21, 2009, who she missed dearly. She also leaves behind three sisters Jean (Gordon) Smith, Norma (Wally) Russell and Phyllis (Barclay) Draper and was predeceased by her brother George. Lorna cherished the time she spent with her in-laws Eddie (Alice) Ciriani and Eda (Graziano) Favaro. She was also generously loved by cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and friends too numerous to mention. Lorna moved with her parents to Fruitvale and subsequently to Trail where she graduated from the J. Lloyd Crowe High School. Upon graduation, she attended St. Paul’s Hospital Nursing School in Vancouver and graduated as a R.N. in 1956. She returned to Trail where she was employed at the Trail Regional Hospital and where she met her husband John. In 1971, the family relocated to Kamloops where John accepted a position in the math department of Cariboo College. Soon after, Lorna began her career at Royal Inland Hospital where she worked, mainly in the maternity department, as an obstetrics nurse for the next 30 years. Her capable, kind and compassionate manner served her well in her vocation and benefitted countless Moms in her care.

August 26, 1952 - May 17, 2009

Lorna’s greatest joy was taking care of and providing for others. She was the heart of every celebration from her delicious meals to her genuine interest in all those that were lucky enough to spend time with her and be part of her life. Lorna’s guests never left the table hungry and were always encouraged to “mangia, mangia” as her adopted Italian sometimes overwhelmed her Swedish heritage. She was able to pass her cooking skills onto a new generation by teaching her granddaughter’s cooking class at SKSS how to make gnocchi. Sewing was also a big part of Lorna’s life, with many family and friends benefitting from homemade grad dresses, maternity clothes and summer frocks. In all, Lorna was a fantastic cook, seamstress and consummate host.

Betty was born on September 29, 1944 in Princeton, BC, living most of her life in Kamloops, working for BC Tel for many years. On June 10, 1978 she married the love of her life David Stockford.

Betty is survived by her husband Dave, daughters Wendy (Rob), Heather (Marc), son Glenn (Tammy), eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, her twin brother Ted (Blanche), brother Bill (Gloria), sister-in-law Edna Gwynn, her brother-in-law Doug (Ellie) Stockford, several nieces and nephews.

Colin is predeceased by his son Michael Brown of Amherst, NS, grandson Ryan Marshall, father Ross Brown, mother Dena Brown, sisters Laurel (John) Merrit, Renee Woods and Marnie of Vancouver, brothers little Leagh Brown (Marilyn) and John. Colin was a hardworking man from being in the Army in his early years to owning his own construction company. After selling his company and relocating to the Maritimes, Colin worked seasonally painting bridges, worked in a penitentiary as well worked in a school for the hearing impaired. Colin then switched to building modular homes and repairing any issues that arose after they reached their final destination. In 1994, he relocated back to British Columbia and worked for the Diocese of Prince George managing the College Heights Modular Home Park until his retirement. Colin enjoyed reading, listening to music, watching TV, camping, building things with wood and loved to joke around. Most of all Colin was a TRUE family man and loved his “child bride” Barb. A celebration to honour Colin’s life will take place at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Sandra Patricia (Pat) Mochizuki (née Wolgram)

Archie Stuart Nichol October 7,1923 - April 10, 2019

Archie Nichol passed away on April 10, 2019 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops with Pat, his dearly loved wife of 66 years at his side. Archie enjoyed a long, wonderful life, always loving and appreciating his family and friends. He is survived by his wife Pat, son Ross (Patti), daughter Heather (Tom), youngest brother Jerry, as well as many nieces, nephews and their families. All who knew Archie considered him a true gentleman.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Sandra Patricia (Pat) Mochizuki on April 28, 2019 after a short battle with lung cancer. Although we know she is at peace, we miss her dearly and would love to have a few more moments with her. Pat will be forever remembered by her husband Jim of 49 years, her children Tara (Kelly Whitehead) and Clinton (Devon Sereda). She will be kept alive in memories by the joys of her life, her four grandchildren Mason and Adam Whitehead and Jackson and Lincoln Mochizuki. She was eagerly awaiting the birth of her first granddaughter. Pat was predeceased by her parents Bernard and Esther Wolgram. Pat was born on October 3, 1949 in Vernon, British Columbia and lived in Kamloops most of her life. She had three sisters Betsy (Dennis), Barb (Kevin), Debbie (Gerry) and a brother Dave. She worked raising her children and on the Mochizuki family farm and later became a bookkeeper until her retirement just a few years ago. Pat loved her family with all of her heart and her kids and grandchildren meant the world to her. She never said no when asked for something, especially when it came to her grandkids. She had endless patience, an aptitude for organization and a great sense of humour. She only worried about the little things and was rarely bothered about the big things in life. She loved going antiquing with her sisters and spent countless hours volunteering with the church doing bookkeeping and other tasks. She was a very hard worker and instilled values of kindness and decency towards everyone. The family would like to thank Dr. Steyn, Dr. Varma, Dr. Pwint and the RIH Cancer Clinic, all of whom provided excellent care in the short time between her diagnosis and passing. A Service will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 1:00 pm at the Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 2481 Sunset Drive, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kamloops Lord of Life Lutheran Church or a charity of choice.

Archie grew up on a farm in Truax, Saskatchewan with his parents and eleven siblings. Times were tough but there was still some fun, especially dancing to big band style music at the Truax Hall. This is where Archie developed his dancing skills and became known as “one hell of a dancer”. His love of music and dancing stayed with him his entire life. Archie left the Truax farm in the spring of 1947 with a combine crew and worked through eight US states. In the fall, he relocated to Calgary where he began working for Greyhound Bus Lines. In 1948, he transferred to BC to become a Greyhound Bus driver. Archie drove almost every major road and highway in BC, starting before many roads were paved or mountain passes constructed. He set the highest standards for passenger service, driving them safely to their destinations, often in exceedingly difficult weather and road conditions. Archie and Pat were married in May 1953. They raised their family in Ashcroft, BC where they lived for 55 years. Archie dedicated much of his time to his family, keeping their home and garden in order and working in his garage and on his vehicles, including the beautiful little red Morris Minor that he restored for Pat by handsewing a new convertible roof and reupholstering the interior. Archie had a remarkable ability to fix or make anything he set his mind to do! Archie and Pat developed strong friendships in Ashcroft, enjoyed many community events including stampedes and parades and hosted and attended fun parties. Their children Ross and Heather grew up in Ashcroft and as a family they spent many happy times, picnicking, camping, waterskiing and fishing. After the kids left for

university in Vancouver, Archie and Pat continued to enjoy socializing with their friends, taking local trips in their motor home and vacationing to such places as England, Scotland, Switzerland, Florida, Mexico, Hawaii, Whitehorse and the Maritimes. In 2012, Archie and Pat moved to Kamloops where they reacquainted with old friends from the Ashcroft area and made many new friends. Archie was a loving husband and father and a good friend to many. He will be fondly remembered for his considerate and gentle manner, his determination to overcome challenges and accomplish goals, his kindness and his enjoyment of life with family and friends at home, at work, in the outdoors, on the dance floor and when travelling. Archie has left us now for a peaceful place where he can lovingly look down on us, all the while trying to keep us organized and on schedule...until we meet up with him again. Bye for now Archie The family would like to thank the care workers from Interior Health and Bradwins Home Support Services, along with the staff at Chartwell Ridgepointe Retirement Residence, Kamloops Seniors Village, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and Dr. Newmarch and Dr. Hamilton for their care and attention. A gathering of family and friends to remember and Celebrate Archie’s Life will be held at Chartwell Ridgepointe Retirement Residence, 1789 Primrose Court, Kamloops BC, on Friday, May 31, 2019 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Howard John Gordon Woodrow February 22, 1952 – May 5, 2019 On May 5, 2019 with his niece Cheryl Gagliano by his side, God took John Woodrow home. Howard John Gordon Woodrow, best known as “John” or “Johnny” will be forever remembered by his loving family sister Elisabeth Snyder, brother Edward Woodrow, sister-in-law Joan Woodrow, nine nieces and nephews, nineteen great-nieces and greatnephews and five great-great nieces and nephews. His home share family, Kirk Bilous, Sharon (Kirk’s mom) and Orest (Kirk’s Dad) Bilous and family. His work family RMS Horticulture Program, Marylen Steinhauser, Kristen McEachern and co-workers. Also held close in memory are so many more extended family and friends that loved John as a brother, an uncle and a friend. He was predeceased by his mother and father Anna and Horace Woodrow, sister Jean Zelisko, brother David Woodrow, brothers-in-law Ronald Mann and George Snyder. John was born on February 22, 1952, in Ashcroft, BC and the doctors told his parents that he would not live long after birth, and here we are, 67 years later, blessed beyond words to have known such a loving soul. John always showed joy, even as a young boy. When it became too much for his mom to care for him due to his intellectual disability, he moved into Woodlands and from there to Tranquille. John was a survivor! Once Tranquille closed he moved into a group home and from there to the home share program, living first with Kirk Bilous and then with Kirk’s parents, Sharon and Orest Bilous; for 24 years John was blessed with their love and support. The last six months of John’s life were full of health challenges, long hospital stays and he was in need of 24 hour care. He moved into the McArthur group home on January 30, 2019.

Maxine Jensen

Through all of these trials and challenges, John’s smile never stopped growing and his love of life continued to shine. Thank you to all the loving souls that cared and showed kindness to John over the years.

April 8, 1932 – April 17, 2019

Maxine was born on the family farm in Wadena, Saskatchewan on April 8, 1932.

John worked at the RMS Horticulture Program for the last thirty years. He loved his job, especially planting seeds with Kristen for their annual plant sale. He never missed a day of work unless he was sick, even then, it was hard to keep him home. He was a dedicated employee. Who was John? He was the smile that lit up a room, eager handshake that showed respect, the charmer of compliments to get his way, he was a hardworking man that loved to work and help, the lover of CocaCola and coffee, the huge grin giver when company visited, even if it was for a few minutes, he was the comfort of a hug, he was the joy to make you forget you were having a bad day, he encouraged you to be a better person by just being in his presence. He was LOVE, GRACE and GLORY. He truly enjoyed life in its simplest form, he knew how to live.

John, you were so brave to endure what you did. You deserve to rest in peace now. We love you and know we will see you again someday. Watch over us now as we have done for you. A Memorial Service will be held at the Kamloops Community Church, Salvation Army, 344 Poplar St., Kamloops, BC on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 11:00 am. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Martin “Red” Delaney

She married Olaf “Ole” Jensen in July 1950 and the dream of a big family began. Ole and Maxine moved to BC in 1957. They had seven children.

Pennies From

Heaven

by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found.

Maxine was predeceased by her husband Ole in 1993 and son Olaf Bradley in 2014.

“Found” pennies come from heaven,

She is survived by her children Adri Ann (Barry), Terry (Dawn), JoAnn (Bob), Brenda (Bob), Les (Yvette) and Barbara (Rick), daughter-in-law Linda, as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He said angels toss them down;

That’s what my Grandpa told me

Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you,

The Memorial Tea to Celebrate Maxine’s Life will take place at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 25, 2019 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Tea Room, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, BC.

They toss a penny down

Memorial donations in Maxine’s memory may be made to the charity of your choice.

So don’t pass by that penny,

Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577

When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Martin “Red” Delaney passed away on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at the age of 63. Martin was predeceased by his father Jerry and step-father Sterling. He is survived by his beloved mother Frances and loving wife Joanne, his children Bridget (Murray) Lute, James (Cassie) Delaney and grandchildren Hunter, Hudson and Harlow, all of Kamloops. Also surviving Martin are his siblings Jim (Cal), Patricia (Al), Kathleen (Lorn), Jean (Greg), Paul (Amaya) and Peter (Angie). In addition, Martin leaves behind his uncle Frank, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and in-laws.

DYLAN THOMAS

Martin was born into a large and boisterous family. His mother, siblings and their spouses/partners have always been essential to his happiness. Martin carried on the railroad tradition following his father into CNR. He started his career as labourer and retired as senior manager, with the many friends he made at work remaining an important part of his life. In 1980, he met and married his wife Joanne. His two children were born and became the lights of his life. Eventually three grandchildren entered his life; his buddy Hunter, Hudson, whose antics always made him laugh and Harlow who melted his heart just by saying “Hi Papa”. The other loves in his life included all of his puppies over the years, gardening, fishing in his boat and staying in touch with family and friends both near and far, often using Facebook with considerable expertise. Our hearts are aching, but we will live our lives in a way that makes him proud. We wish to say a very special thank you to Dr. Howie and his wonderful team for the knowledge, support and kindness provided to us in this most difficult time. In addition, thank you to our friends and neighbours for their kindness and support over the years and especially during Martin’s illness. Memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops SPCA. The Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, May 18, 2019 in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Dr., Kamloops. A reception to follow. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

That an angel tossed to you.
