THE DOMINO EFFECT OF A MILL’S DEATH JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

“I’ve been here
44 years. Your job, that’s a big part of your life, right? When that’s gone, now what, right?” — JESSICA WALLACE/KTW
Canfor employee DON MCCUAIG
ixty-four-year-old Don McCuaig was planning retirement next year until plans were cut short this week with news Vavenby’s Canfor mill will close in July. Canfor will close its sawmill and sell its timber rights to Interfor Corp. for $60 million. McCuaig is one of about 175 workers to directly lose their jobs. In a word, he feels “lost.” “This is a big part of my life,” McCuaig told KTW, donning a “Canfor” hardhat with sawdust flying into his face. “I’ve been here 44 years. Your job, that’s a big part of your life, right? When that’s gone, now what, right? You don’t have the money to do too much. You can’t just sit on the couch because that’s going to go downhill pretty quick. So, it’s still up in the air.” McCuaig, a heavy duty mechanic who lives in Clearwater, will make adjustments in light of early retirement — the odd project that won’t get finished — but counts himself lucky his house is paid off and grateful for a career that allowed him to do so.

The familiar red and white Safeway logo and branding that has long anchored Sahali Mall (left) will be replaced next year with the bright yellow hue representing FreshCo stores. Safeway’s parent company, Sobeys, is rebranding a number of B.C. stores into FreshCo, the company’s discount grocery store chain. Sobeys re-opening the store under the FreshCo banner will involve negotiating an entirely new collective agreement for employees with the existing UFCW 247 union at Sahali Safeway. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Sahali Safeway to become a FreshCo MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
One of two Kamloops Safeway stores will close later this year ahead of a rebranding. The Safeway store in Sahali Mall will close on Nov. 23. The space will then be renovated and re-opened next spring as a FreshCo outlet. Five other Safeway stores in B.C. will undergo the same transformation. Both brands are owned by Sobeys, a subsidiary of Nova Scotia-based Empire Co. Ltd., which has been opening its FreshCo brand stores in Western Canada since April. Jacquelin Weatherbee, Sobeys director of external communications, told KTW the decision to close the Sahali location was made in part due to poor performance. She said the company also conducted an assessment that indicated the Kamloops market would be a good fit for the discount grocery store. There are about 95 people employed at the Sahali Safeway. As per the collective agreement between management and the United Food and Commercial Workers union, Sahali Safeway employees will be given three options: transfer to a neighbouring Safeway location, accept a severance payout and move on or accept a job offer at the FreshCo store, Weatherbee said. When asked, she said she did not know if the new store will be hiring the same number of people currently employed in the Sahali Safeway outlet.
25th Annual PROGRESS
“We had our store leaders and HR representatives in each of the store locations yesterday having conversations with our employees,” Weatherbee said. “It’s really important to us that we handle everything as respectfully as possible. It does mean a lot of change for employees.” One worker, who asked that his name not be published, said he wasn’t surprised to hear about the closure. Having worked at the Safeway for about a year, he said none of the three options are an ideal fit for him, given his lack of seniority. He said the buyout offer is three weeks’ pay for every year worked, noting transfers to the North Shore Safeway store will depend on seniority and availability. As for remaining at FreshCo, he said the company has informed employees that only up to 25 per cent of the vacancies will be filled by former Safeway employees, based on seniority. As FreshCo is a discount store, the employee believes salaries will likely be minimum wage, with no professional positions for butchers and bakers, as now exists at Safeway. “I don’t think I’ll be leaving my house for minimum wage,” the employee said. “I can collect empties for that amount of money.” Nervous about the future, the employee said he hopes to find another job in Kamloops. “There’s still a little bit of time left until November,” he said. The employee said he thinks the store was destined to be converted regardless of how well the business was operating.
“We’re getting thrown under the bus,” he said. “The suits in the boardroom decided that’s what’s going to get done.” He said the company is trying to compete against the Walmarts and No Frills of the grocery market. “It’s unfortunate that Sobeys wants to concentrate on price and discount only, so it’s a race to the bottom,” he said. “You’ll have a little bit lower prices, but you won’t have any services.” Weatherbee said re-opening the store under the FreshCo banner will involve negotiating an entirely new collective agreement for employees with the existing UFCW 247 union at Sahali Safeway. Calls to the union for comment were not returned by KTW’s press deadline. The pharmacy in the Sahali Safeway will not be closed during renovations. A temporary location for the department will be set up to maintain customer service before the pharmacy is re-opened within FreshCo. The North Shore Safeway will not be converted, Weatherbee said, noting performance and market demographics are revisited regularly to determine whether stores shore remain open, are rebranded or are closed. In addition to the Sahali outlet, Safeway stores in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Kelowna, Vernon and Powell River will be closed later this year and re-opened as FreshCo stores in the spring of 2020, if the timing of construction and scheduling of permits goes according to schedule.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW The Canfor mill in Vavenby will close for good in July, leaving 175 people without jobs.
Mill’s closure to affect many From A1
McCuaig is one of an estimated 35 to 45 people let go within reach of retirement and anticipates a payout of 10 days per year of service. McCuaig will not receive annually what he earned at the mill — never a good thing, he said, when prices for everything from food to gas and insurance continue to rise. McCuaig worries for young families and expects they will leave the area to find work. He would, if he were younger. “Mortgages, car payments, children,” McCuaig said. “It’s going to be really tough.” That concern is echoed by Area A TNRD director Carol Schaffer. Calling the news “devastating”, she worries for the community’s elementary school, which just expanded to Grade 5, with plans to grow by two more grades by 2021. Schaffer was surprised to hear of permanent closure, rather than a temporary shutdown, as has occurred in the past. The news is indicative of a greater trend, she said. “We don’t have a mill from Valemount all the way to Barriere now that’s open and we used to have Weyerhaeuser, Canfor here,” Schaffer said. “There used to be a mill in Clearwater, a mill in Avola years ago. Blue River and
Valemount’s closed. Our mills are going by the wayside.” Following a one-day operational shutdown in light of the bad news, the mill was back in operation on Wednesday. A flurry of logging trucks drove in and out of the area. The Vavenby mill was the largest employer in the region, with North Thompson forestry having an economic spinoff of between $40 million and $60 million annually. The mill was central, processing fir logs cut within 100 kilometres of Clearwater and processed into dimensional lumber: two-byfours, two-by-sixes and two-byeights. The mill paid good salaries, offered university-paying jobs and helped cover many a mortgage. While some employees may be transferred, the jobs will effectively be gone by the end of July. Frustration and condolences could be heard over purchases of pizza and six-packs at The Vavenby Store, just down the road from the mill. The store is one of the only retail outlets in the small community of 300 just north of Clearwater, selling a little bit of everything from local honey and eggs to sandwiches, alcohol and work gloves. It’s the place mill workers and contractors grab lunch and customers talk shop with the clerk. “Sad about the mill closing,”
one customer said, though store owner Joylene Baylene remains optimistic. When one door shuts, she said, another opens. A young customer impacted, however, did not share her enthusiasm: “I don’t want to talk about it, really. They’re f----d. I don’t like them. I was there for six years. … It’s a f-----g joke.” MANY IN CLEARWATER WILL BE IMPACTED Most of the mill’s workers and contractors live about 20 minutes down the highway in Clearwater, a community of about 2,400 that boasts shopping, doctors and recreation. That’s also where most of the mill’s tax dollars go, about $120,000 per year — or five to six per cent of the community’s tax base. The money won’t immediately dry up until the equipment goes and takes with it the property value. Wood chips from the mill also heat Clearwater’s civic facilities, a system that garnered the community an Environmental Innovation Award from the Southern Interior Local Government Association and netted the District of Clearwater $90,000 in annual savings as a workaround to propane heating (natural gas is unavailable).

Permanent shutdown will be felt in city From A5
“Clearwater has been a pretty big hub for those people in the North Thompson Valley for 100 years,” Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell said. “And there’s quite a lot of small, long-term, multigenerational families that have been logging in this community.” Those contractors are without union support and perhaps have the least certainty. Blackwell worries for those employees impacted indirectly. Contractors might have the opportunity to work with Interfor, but demand for wood remains sketchy. Doug Borrow, who has owned Borrow Enterprise in Clearwater for 30 years, has been getting calls from forestry employees looking for work, but has laid off 20 staff as a result of losing his biggest contract with the mill — one he had for 15 years and which was worth $2 million annually. “It’ll affect our bottom line, huge,” Borrow told KTW. Driving into Clearwater, the highway is filled with logging trucks and RVs. The other major industry in the area is tourism, worth approximately $40 million per year. However, tourism jobs are largely seasonal and lowerpaid, compared to forestry jobs. “To me, tourism is good for the guy that owns it but it’s not for the worker,” Schaffer said. “When you’re used to making $35 to $40 [per hour] and you go down to $15, you need two jobs.” Clearwater Century 21 real estate agent Larissa Hadley said she has received a couple of calls this week requesting market analysis. She said when Weyerhaeuser closed in the early 2000s, impacts were not felt until the two subsequent years. A “huge impact” was felt in 2005, she said, when
houses sold for $70,000. Today, demand is high and supply is low, with houses selling for about $200,000. How long that continues remains to be seen. The area seemed to be on the rebound, having withstood that difficult time. “Real estate doesn’t get impacted immediately,” Hadley said. KAMLOOPS SUPPLIERS, RETAIL WILL FEEL RIPPLES SOUTH Impacts will be felt in the North Thompson and reverberate south to Kamloops. Kamloops resident and logger Jim Kopytko recently purchased a brand new piece of machinery at Kenworth in the River City to cut logs for the Vavenby mill. It cost $700,000 and he had barely taken if off the lot when he got word of the mill closing. Now he is waiting to hear whether his contract will be picked up by Interfor. He has already laid off five people. “It’s a person’s whole livelihood,” Kopytko said. The Goat Creek Logging Limited owner has logged his whole life and runs a family business. He said his heart breaks thinking about the future. “There’s so many new jobs, they call them,” Kopytko said. “Ninety per cent of those new jobs are part-time jobs, minimum-wage jobs. This is hard to make a family life for. These [forestry jobs] are permanent, full-time, goodpaying jobs being lost this week. “Being a Canadian taxpayer all my life, I just, it makes me sick because there’s so many people out there. Family out there is the most important thing to me in my life and it’s hard to see my grandkids going out on these part-time jobs. See CLEARWATER, A7

Clearwater mayor: ‘We will make it through’ Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way executive director Danalee Baker said Canfor was the main contributor to the North Thompson Community Fund, which has totalled $300,000 since 2005 and has supported schools and the local food bank. Mill employees have been “so generous to the community,” she said. Ironically, those employees now need support. Beneficiaries of the fund’s supports this year have not yet been allocated. Baker said United Way hopes to be alongside the community to support those in need during tough times, with money likely going to the food bank, schools and Yellowhead Community Services Society. Baker said United Way will take the lead from the community. Additionally, a job creation program United Way is applying for could help about 10 people. “It’s time to repay the favour,” Baker said.

“Part-time, minimum-wage jobs. And they’ve got to live at home at 20 years old because it’s so hard to get a job that pays, and now another one [mill closure] just goes south,” Kopytko said. He said his business has multiple economic spinoffs, from that brand new piece of equipment to fuel to repairs. He estimated spring repairs at the Kamloops supplier led to a bill of between $125,000 and $130,000. Aldin Loewen, owner of Loewen Forestry Equipment in Kamloops, said when loggers are out of work, it directly and negatively impacts his bottom line. Business from the North Thompson equates to between $5,000 and $10,000 a month. “If they’re out of work, it affects us down here,”
Loewen said. “A lot of people would feel that big time. It’s a huge impact on a lot of people.” Blackwell said the average person in Kamloops might not notice impacts from the Vavenby mill closure, but certain companies will. Additionally, Kamloops is a large community in proximity to the North Thompson.
When the area is hit financially, fewer shopping trips are taken into town. “Buying power, 172, 178 people, high-paying jobs that were at Costco, were buying things in Kamloops, buying cars, all gone,” Blackwell said. “If you’re even worried about money, even the contractor who still has his job, you stop spending.”
WHAT COMES NEXT? Schaffer and Blackwell are meeting with provincial and federal counterparts to come up with plans for economic diversification. A job fair was planned this week, with hopes some mill employees would be absorbed. Contractors remain on standby. On Wednesday,

As the community grapples with what fallout effect of the mill closure, Blackwell said his phone has not stopped ringing since the news. Schaffer said the area will need all of the help it can get. Added Blackwell: “We will make it through.”

MILL CLOSURE HAS A WIDE IMPACT
G
rim news that has roamed B.C. like an economic pine beetle landed in the North Thompson Valley this week, leaving a region shaken and about families wondering about life after the mill. Canfor will permanently close its sawmill in Vavenby, near Clearwater, and will sell its timber rights to Interfor Corp. for $60 million — pending provincial government approval. The reasons for the decision to shut the mill and throw hundreds of lives into disarray are familiar to communities that rely on the forestry industry to prop up the economy: long-term log supply constraints and the high cost of fibre. A year ago, lumber was trading at an all-time high. Today, it is trading at half that value. Like the oil patch, the forestry sector can operate on a boom-bust cycle, and this latest news in Vavenby will sound familiar to many across B.C. as a number of mills have been closed or temporarily shut down this spring. Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell is trying to figure out the future of his community — home to many Canfor mill workers — and region and knows the closure only further highlights the need for communities everywhere to diversify their economies. It is, of course, easier said than done, but diversification must be the focus, as it was and continues to be in Kamloops, with this city’s economy sharply different than what it was even two decades ago. In the meantime, those affected by this terrible economic news — from those directly impacted in Vavenby and Clearwater to those indirectly hit all the way down the North Thompson Valley to Kamloops — will need support. The United Way is ready to step up and we hope others will, too, in whatever way they can.

Flaws in NDP building
T
he first highway construction job under the B.C. NDP government’s Orwellian community benefits agreement has been awarded and it is one whopping steak-and-six-salads lunch for the U.S.-based unions so revered by Premier John Horgan. For a mere two kilometres of four-laning the Trans Canada Highway near Revelstoke, the cost soared 35 per cent in three months. That’s a jump of more than $22 million above a budget of $63 million that was announced when bids were invited in February. The NDP government slipped this past the Vancouver media, burying it in a news release put out just before the May long weekend. It was immediately brought to my attention by a representative of the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC), the primary target of the Horgan government’s pact with the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council. These guys go by such up-todate names as the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Shipbuilders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers Lodge 359. There are 19 of them, anointed by the Horgan government as fit for taxpayer-funded construction, including the Pattullo Bridge replacement, the Broadway subway and a half-dozen sections of the Trans Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border. Also chosen is Move UP,
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA formerly COPE 378, the BC Hydro office union and a key supplier of staff to the premier’s office. Their monopoly on public construction is filled and chilled like the salad table required on a highway job. But they had a bitter setback last week when the BC Green Party rose up to defeat a key part of the NDP’s labour code revisions, the one that allowed construction union raids every summer. Labour Minister Harry Bains adopted stabilizing rules that allow raids only after a union contract has been in place for three years, except for construction. Horgan attended a B.C. Building Trades convention in Victoria last year and it was like a religious rally. He and executive director Tom Sigurdson congratulated each other for the huge benefit their monopoly would have for apprentices. That fiction was shredded last week by the Independent Contractors and Business Association (ICBA), which compiled the B.C. government’s own
statistics on apprenticeships. A lot has changed since the Hyundai-Kerkhoff consortium built the Alex Fraser Bridge in the 1980s, the first non-union heavy construction in B.C. CLAC workers and affiliated contractors have since worked on the new Port Mann Bridge and are gearing up for pipeline work. The B.C. government’s Industry Training Authority reports that of the 28,432 registered construction apprentices in B.C., 23,172 are sponsored by open-shop companies, not unions. That’s three out of four. ICBA president Chris Gardner notes that in some trades, the ratio is even higher. Apprentice welders are 96 per cent openshop, plumbers 87 per cent, carpenters 85 per cent and electricians 83 per cent. “Over the past 35 years, the building trades unions have lost market share, lost any wage and benefit advantage they used to have and alienated generations of B.C. construction workers,” Gardner said. One of those disaffected construction workers is carpenter Zig van Akker, who worked on the Island Highway project in the 1990s, the last NDP-building trades road job. He remembers the strict craft lines and having to sue a union pension fund. Commuters on that highway are being held up these days by overpass construction north of Victoria. It’s finally being built after union featherbedding caused it to be replaced by a traffic light. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
URGENT CARE NOT SO URGENT AN ANNIVERSARY KINDNESS NOT SOON FORGOTTEN Editor: The evening did not start out very well. Rather than a special dinner for our 56th wedding anniversary, we decided to eat locally so we could be out on the deck. We arrived at the restaurant at the same time as a group of six people, so we moved to the end of the outdoor deck for shade. The other group was served immediately, but we sat for 20 minutes before getting a menu. I finally walked over to the wait person and told her we needed menus. She sent out another wait person and the rest of our meal went well. When my husband went to pay the bill, he was told that it was taken care of. We knew no one out there. As we passed the group of six diners, they wished us a “Happy Anniversary.” We asked if they had paid the bill. They said “no” at first, but then, admitted they did. These were strangers and we would just like to thank them very much for such a kind gesture. It is one anniversary we will never forget.
Editor: I had the bemusing experience of trying to book an appointment at the new, supposedly “urgent care” clinic on the ground floor of Royal Inland Hospital. In fact, it proved to be more like falling down Alice In Wonderland’s rabbit hole. The clinic does provide a contact phone number: 250-314-2256. If you phone later in the day, you will likely get a person who will tell you in order to book an appointment you must phone no earlier than 10 a.m. the following morning. If a live person doesn’t answer, you will get a recorded message telling you to try again. And try again is what you are advised to do until you reach an actual human being. Well, starting at precisely 10 a.m. on a recent morning, I phoned. I got the recorded message. One minute later, I
tried again. Same thing. Over the next 30 minutes I tried once a minute, for a total of 30 times. No luck. By 10:30 a.m. I was getting discouraged. So, over the next 30 minutes, I only tried six times. On the sixth attempt, I finally got a receptionist. By now it was precisely 11 a.m. I asked to make an appointment and was rather brusquely informed, “All appointments have been booked for the day.” “OK…” I ventured. “Can I make one for tomorrow?” Even more brusquely, I was told, “Nope. If you want an appointment, you have to call at 10 a.m. tomorrow.” So I made one more attempt; “How about if I came in person at 10 a.m. to make the appointment?” “Nope. Has to be by phone.” By now, I could feel the rabbit hole closing in on all sides. In spite of it, I pointed out their call-at-10 a.m. thing
Howard Neighbor Kamloops
KUDOS TO HOSPITAL INTENSIVE-CARE UNIT STAFF Editor: Cancer is a jarring prognosis. Needing cancer surgery now is frightening to the core. It is within this reality that we extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Chevalier and the nursing team of Royal Inland Hospital’s intensive-care unit on the sixth floor of the
Rose-Marie Voakes Kamloops
north tower. Their professionalism, unparalleled skills and obvious caring for a positive outcome from my recent bout of cancer surgery speaks volumes to how fortunate we are to have access to such talented individuals. Say what you will about our health care system, but it

wasn’t working. Then, I naively added, “Is there someone in authority I can speak to?” Of course, the answer was, “Nope” again. “All right,” I conceded, “Can I write to somebody?” “Sure,” the helpful receptionist replied. “Try your MLA or Interior Health.” I think I heard her punctuate this final gem of advice with a stifled yawn as she added, “Hey, that’s how changes get made, don’t they. . .?” Well, maybe in some alternate universe, but I haven’t seen it work much in this one. So I’m trying the letter-tothe-editor approach instead. By the way, if you are in need of medical help, you may want to go to some other source. That’s what the urgent care clinic recommended I should do.

WELCOME TO THe Holmes Is WHere
I once asked my readers what they thought the right time was for a first kiss. Would it be best to jump right in on the first date? How about the second? Or should the kiss wait until the third date? I was surprised by some of the answers from those 70-plus age range. They felt the first date was ideal for the first kiss — and many of them are quite pleased to report that, 40 years later, they are still together. Today, things are a bit different. The first couple of dates seem to be a time to determine if there is potential to want to kiss the person. Kissing is considered to be a meaningful form of intimacy. I find that refreshing, considering there are men and women who are swiping right on Tinder and, an hour later, rolling around exchanging more than just saliva with a person they don’t even know. I am not saying there is anything wrong with some safe extracurriculars, but the consistent concerns I am hearing from people, especially
ality and lifestyle. Your profiles could be very similar in what your goals are and sometimes it’s just instinct. B: First dates can be a little awkward and nerve-wracking for some. Not everyone loosens up and shows their fun side until the second or third date, so if there’s nothing alarming or upsetting on the first date, and the person is genuine and down to earth, I always recommend trying another couple of dates. Be patient. C: If, after the second or third date, you still aren’t sure, it’s a good idea to communicate that with the person. Maybe they are wondering the same thing of you. Having that conversation may make you both realize you are better off as friends. Then again, that open, honest, vulnerable chat could lead to the first kiss. Given first dates are usually a coffee chat in a public place, that’s really the opportunity for first impressions. The second date could be a bit more playful and, by the third

millennials, is that they are now wondering about their future and if they are going to have a committed partner and a family. When it comes to dating and matchmaking, some people are confused as to how long to date a potential match before deciding if it’s best to dissolve and move on to a different match. I give my clients my opinion based on what has been working best. Maybe this will make things a little clearer. Here’s the ABC’s of that: A: If I’ve sent you a match, it’s because after meeting with both of you, I feel there are similarities physically — in person-

Final Words of a Fallen Son. The story chronicled what may have been the final words penned by Norman Stuart Harper, a Kamloops man shot down in Germany during the First World War. A postcard Harper sent to his mother in 1918 from the battlefields of Europe was found last year in a Seattle-area antique shop, leading to the tale told by Brady in the pages of KTW.
Kamloops This Week also received a third-place nod in the Coverage of the Arts category. Brady is the newspaper’s entertainment reporter and co-ordinator of the entertainment section, in print and online. The national awards follow honours received by KTW at this past spring’s Ma Murray Awards, the annual gala that highlights awardwinning journalism in B.C. and the Yukon.

date, there certainly should be some butterflies and anticipation for what comes next. If none of that happens, you know you have given it your best shot and we move on to a new match. My first three dates with my husband went like this: A: Bowling and coffee shop. B: Mini-golf, then to a pub (first kiss). C: Dinner and live music. Some of my most successful couples are the ones who were slow builds. They seem to have a really strong foundation compared to some who jump right into the physical side of the coupling. Of course, intimacy is vital in a relationship, but it’s the foundation of friendship and compatibility that will get you through the tough times. If you would like to get into the ABC’s of matchmaking and you are a happy, single person, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca and we will get you out on your first three dates.

Savona wildfire at 200 hectares as of Thursday The B.C. Wildfire Service says the Sabiston Creek wildfire has burned approximately 100 hectares of land three kilometres west of Savona. The fire, sparked Wednesday afternoon, briefly closed Highway 1 and caused a power outage, which affected more than 400 BC Hydro customers before power was restored that evening. Fire information officer Marla Catherall said 33 personnel were on scene Thursday, including contract crews. They were working on establishing a fire guard on the eastern flank of the blaze. Crews remained on scene overnight on Wednesday and Catherall said the fire responded well to suppression efforts. No structures have been affected and none are being threatened, according to Catherall. Wildfire service crews received support from local fire department crews and air support from air tankers. Ground crews had planned a controlled burn on Thursday afternoon as part of the blaze battle.

City reviewing service-provider agreements JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The city’s finance committee is meeting with service providers as part of a review of millions of dollars worth of financial support dolled out annually. The city has service agreements, which are essentially contracts, with a variety of agencies and non-profits, big and small, totalling about $3.5 million per year. “They fall into a couple of different categories,” city corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said. “They could be providing a service that the city doesn’t do. It could be maintaining assets that the city owns on behalf
of the city. It could be helping them provide social services that are important to the city but not within our ability,” she said. “There’s a whole variety of things and they range from really small to really quite large, supporting Tourism Kamloops or the symphony, stuff like that.” The agreements expire at the end of December and council asked the finance committee to renew and review the agreements. The process began about a month ago. New councillors have been learning about the organizations, services provided and how much is given to groups. A recommendation is expected from the finance committee to
Language workshop A free workshop on the history and state of Secwepemctsin, the Secwepemc language, will be held at the downtown library later this month. Tk’emlups te Secwepemc language and culture manager Ted Gottfriedson will discuss the history and current state of the language. Gottfriedson earlier told KTW only two people on the reserve, ages 78 and 86, speak Secwepemctsin fluently, with between 20 and 25 adult learners and kids taking it through the public school system. He said he is concerned as the band’s language co-ordinator and as a band member, given the limited number of people available to continue the language. Secwepemctsin is culturally significant, linked to ecological and historical knowledge, values, beliefs, stories, structures and spirituality. The sound system consists of 43 consonants and five vowels and many of the sounds are not in the English language. The workshop will be held at the Kamloops Library, downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, on Wednesday, June 19, at 6 p.m. It is free to attend, but registration is recommended. To register, call 250-372-5145. Tk’emlups te Secwepemc offers a beginner’s Secwepemctsin course online at tkemlups.ca/ language-lessons. Courses are also offered at Thompson Rivers University and through Simon Fraser University at the band office.

Province to study cellphone billing and contracts The provincial government has launched a public questionnaire, inviting British Columbians to share their views and experiences regarding cellphone contracts. The goal, according to the government, is to identify ways to promote transparency and fairness and help Victoria in reviewing B.C.’s current consumer protection laws. The public survey also gauges an individual’s knowledge about their rights under the federal Wireless Code. “Cellphones are a part of everyday life and people deserve to understand where their money is going and have tools to make informed choices about their cellphone services,” Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said. “We will also use the results to advocate for British Columbians’ concerns to the federal government and encourage the delivery of more flexible, transparent and affordable cellphone options in B.C.” The survey, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, will run until July 5. It can be found online at https://engage.gov.bc.ca/cellphonebilling. The results will be summarized and included in a public report. According to government statistics: • 92 per cent of British Columbians have at least one cellphone in their household, while 59.3 per cent of British Columbians have a landline; • Cellphone use as a primary communications device is on the rise. Canada-wide in 2017, 36 per cent of households reported having only a cellphone and no landline, compared with 15.5 per cent of households in 2012.

An intergenerational bond has led to a Kamloops elementary school receiving accolades. Shanon Parker’s Grade 4 class at Arthur Stevenson elementary in Westsyde won a Golden Star Award from the BC Retired Teachers Association for the students’ activities with seniors. The program involved seniors at nearby The Hamlets at Westsyde assisted-living facility teaching the students how to play cribbage and engaging in the game with them every couple of months during this school year. “I know some schools have done things like crafts and coming and
singing [and] this may be a little simpler, but it really does what we want — it has the kids and the seniors interacting together,” Parker said. Students and seniors alike were enriched through new friendships as they worked co-operatively with one another, hand after hand. “Thank you residents of the Hamlets for being such good partners and teachers for these Grade 4s,” BC Retired Teachers Association director Stefan Cieslik said. “It’s a tremendous achievement that you have done what you’ve done.” Cieslik presented Parker and her class with the award last week at the seniors’ facility, where the students took in a few more games of cribbage with their elder friends before heading back to school.

Members of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation set up a display at a North Kamloops gas station on Thursday in a bid to raise awareness of billions of tax cash lost due to the poor price of domestic oil. Canadian Taxpayers Federation directors Franco Terrazzano and Kris Sims stopped in at the Canco gas station on Tranquille Road as part of a cross-Canada tour raising awareness of the $6.4 billion and counting in various federal tax revenues Canadians have missed
out on since 2013 because of the low price of Canadian oil. “That means we all have less money for important services like hospitals [and] teachers,” Terrazzano said. “From east to west, even if you’re not in the energy sector, you could be better off if governments let job creators build pipelines.” Based on data released from the parliamentary budget officer, the CTF calculated how much additional revenue the federal government would collect if there was no differential between the Canadian and American price of oil, which is impacted by differences in transportation and
quality. Terrazzano said Canada isn’t getting full value for its oil because it lacks pipeline capacity to reach foreign customers, an issue he said projects like Trans Mountain expansion, Northern Gateway and Energy East could alleviate if not hampered by unworkable regulatory conditions. The tour began in Ottawa on May 24 and wraps up in the Prairies this week, hitting locations in every province across Canada. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a not-for-profit group that advocates for smaller government and lower taxes.

People’s Party pick has political past MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The People’s Party of Kamloops has acclaimed a candidate for the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo in the upcoming Oct. 21 election. Ken Finlayson, who operates a small ranch near Lac la Hache, will run under the PPC banner this fall. “Having been afflicted with an active interest in politics my entire life, I now find myself drawn back into the political arena,” said Finlayson in an email to KTW. Finlayson was born and raised into a farming and ranching family near North Battleford, Sask., and has been
living in B.C. for about a year and a half, currently operating a ranch in Lac La Hache. He’s worked as a rancher in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, and as a truck driver and rodeo cowboy. Finlayson is no stranger to a federal campaign, having run as an independent candidate in BattlefordsLloydminster in a 2017 byelection. He said had previously attempted to seek the Conservative nomination but was rejected by the party’s nomination committee. Finlayson described himself as a conservative and noted “division, uncertainty and suffocating government regulations” as factors in his
decision to run as the PPC candidate for the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo. “I can’t just stand idly by and watch a great nation and a people I love, with our potential and opportunity, self-destruct,” he said. Finlayson described Conservative leader Andrew Scheer as being weak who shares similarities to prime minister Justin Trudeau — who he described as a train wreck — in their policies and platforms. Electing Scheer, he said, would mean maintaining the status quo in Ottawa. “More big government, more corporate welfare, more pandering to special interests, more unaccountable foreign
aid,” he said. He also criticized Scheer as trying to be “all things to all people,” which is impossible, whereas Bernier is more honest in stating that they won’t be able to please everyone and allows his candidates to speak about controversial issues. “You don’t have to act like a bunch of trained seals which is basically what we have in the House of [Commons],” Finlayson said. He said he’s not fond of PPC leader Max Bernier’s postal code — resenting the fact governments can be chosen by winning enough seats in just Ontario and Quebec — something he said needs to change — but that’s about the only thing he doesn’t like.
Kamloops lawyer trying to go Green MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops lawyer is hoping he can convince locals the Green Party is a viable option in the Oct. 21 federal election. Iain Currie has announced he’s seeking the party’s nomination as its candidate for Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding, spurred to action by desire to see global warming issues taken more seriously by politicians. Environmental issues such as the severity of fire seasons will continue to get worse with rising temperatures, and quick decisive action is needed from government to avoid catastrophe, he said. “The solutions that have been floated so far are, in my
opinion, half-measures which are partisan politics as usual,” said Currie, noting the Greens want the issue treated as a crisis and carbon-neutrality in Canada by 2050. A born and raised Kamloopsian, Currie was a prosecutor in the city’s provincial Crown office from 1999 to 2017, working on a number of prominent homicide cases. He currently works as a civil litigator in Kamloops. Currie has been a supporter of the Green Party for the last 10 years, having become a card carrying member at the start of 2019. Green candidates have seen recent success with the election of Canada’s second Green MP Paul Manley in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith byelec-
tion and forming the official opposition in Prince Edward Island. Despite being a Conservative stronghold, Currie said he thinks he can win Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo as the Green Party’s candidate, noting the Liberals and NDP combined for more votes than incumbent Cathy McLeod in the 2015 election. “The vote was split and the vote was strategic,” Currie said, noting he thinks many people voted to oust the Conservatives rather than choose who they wanted. He cited the recent Green Wave, poll numbers rivalling the NDP, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s sliding popularity and local Liberal candidate Terry Lake being a former member of a conser-
vative-leaning provincial government under Christy Clark as reasons people may “vote their conscious” in October. “I think [a lot of ] the 60 per cent of people who voted for the Liberals and NDP in this riding are potential Green supporters,” Currie said. While the KamloopsThompson Cariboo candidates for the NDP and Liberals each had more than 21,000 votes in the 2015 election, the Green Party received a little more than 2,400. Currie is the lone nominee to announce to date, but local riding association president Matt Greenwood has said the nomination will be contested. The Green Party’s nomination meeting is later this month.

Locking in Hope for Kamloops Food Bank Locking in Hope, a Kamloops Food Bank fundraiser, was unveiled on Thursday in Riverside Park. “It’s honestly breathtaking,” Kamloops Food Bank executive director Bernadette Siracky said, noting the river and mountain view behind. “I think it’s really going to show off our city.” The project has been 18 months in the making. The steel structure spelling out the word “HOPE” was just one piece of the puzzle. The food bank has been busy selling padlocks, which will be uniquely decorated and clasped to the structure. The unveiling took place Thursday afternoon, after KTW press deadline. Siracky said the message of hope has resonated, with 1,500 locks sold so far. The fundraiser has raised $67,275 of its $200,000 goal. Siracky said a lot of the money has come from sponsorships, noting the project was pricier than anticipated because the price of steal increased dramatically. Cost of the project is nearing $100,000. Siracky expects the fundraiser will take off when people see the structure in the park. Locks will be sold next to the artwork during peak park times, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. every day and from noon to 8 p.m. on weekends. A decoration station will also allow supporters to adorn their locks on site. “That’s where we think it’s going to really explode,” Siracky said of the fundraising goal. Locks can also be purchased online at lockinginhope.com. They are $10, with proceeds benefitting the Kamloops Food Bank.

Kamloops residents can contribute to ending youth homelessness this month with a $2 donation when they shop at Home Depot. Until June 23, the local store will raise funds for A Way Home Kamloops Society’s efforts to provide housing and support services to youth at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. The initiative is part of Home Depot Canada Foundation’s Orange Door Project fundraising campaign, which supports 120 organizations committed to preventing and ending youth homelessness. “As one of the fastest-growing segments of the homeless population in Canada, youth homelessness is an urgent and complex issue,” said Pam O’Rourke, chair of Home Depot Canada Foundation’s board of directors. “We are working together, with our community partners, to help truly understand and address the unique needs of at-risk and homeless youth, so we can help end this cycle.” According to Without a Home: The National Youth Homelessness Survey, young people ages 13 to 24 make up approximately 20 per cent of the homeless population in Canada. In May, The Home Depot Canada Foundation reached its five-year, $20 million goal to help prevent and end youth homelessness and increased its commitment to $50 million by 2022. A Way Home Kamloops has a continuum of housing options for youth that include Youth Housing First, communal living and independent scattered suites. Customers can also make online donations at OrangeDoorProject.ca.

Two local men seek to Give Cancer the Finger TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
D
DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE Derrek Strokon (top) gets in on Steve Passmore’s head shave last November under the watchful eye of Continental Barber Shop owner Lise Mitra.
erek Strokon and Steve Passmore are two of the men behind a move to introduce a new angle to cancer treatment in Kamloops through a foundation called Give Cancer the Finger. The goal of the foundation is to add a new level to cancer treatment in Kamloops with a cancer supportive care centre. “Upon diagnosis of your cancer, you go to the cancer supportive care centre,” Strokon said. “What happens at the cancer supportive care centre is you’re introduced to a navigator.” That navigator, he explained, is there to help you better understand everything that comes with the cancer diagnosis. “The navigator, essentially, is there to help you understand what your diagnosis is, what medications you’re on, what
your treatment prognosis is,” Stroken said. “How often do you need to go to Kelowna on the cancer bus? How often do you need to be here for this? What are the side effects that you should expect after treatment? During treatment? And then what are we going to do to get you better?” The foundation’s rather blunt name is a tongue-incheek nod to prostate cancer, but the aim of the foundation, and the care centre, is to work with patients with all types of cancer. The first step in getting the care centre off the ground is to present to Interior Health the existing cost of current cancer patient survivors presenting themselves at the emergency room in Royal Inland Hospital. The hope is that if the study shows financial benefits for the existence of a supportive care centre, the foundation would move ahead with a fundraising event to raise the estimated $1 million needed to need to build the centre.
Organizers are looking at pursuing a smaller-scale pilot project to help illustrate the feasibility of a centre. Passmore noted there are a number of hurdles that must be overcome by the time the centre becomes a reality and said the foundation is welcoming people who wish to help in the weeks and months to come. “Right now, it’s assembling blocks, but when we are ready, yeah, we’re going to need an army,” he said. The project evolved out of Strokon and Passmore’s past involvement with local Movember fundraisers. For last year’s efforts, instead of growing the traditional Movember moustache, they had moustaches shaved into the backs of their heads, with funds raised going to cancer research. Those interested in reaching out to offer support and assistance can do so at Give Cancer the Finger’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/.

A
ripping sound, followed by a crackle — and the crowd holds its collective breath. A thick chunk crumbles and falls off the crenellated wall of ice with a thunderous roar, raising a spume of gray and brown flecked spray. A moment later, another whipcrack reverberates on the afternoon air and farther along the glacier front a second sliver breaks free and disappears into a foam of churning green water. A collective “Aaah” shudders along the ship’s rails. Like the other passengers now paused before the Margerie Glacier in Alaska’s Glacier Bay, I am spellbound by what the Tlingit Indians call “white thunder.” I am also reduced to ant-like proportions before a mass of ice rising 250 metres above the surface of Tarr Inlet. Silhouetted against a cerulean sky, the glacier is a fantastical sculpture of castle turrets, spires, battlements and ramparts. Stray fingers of sunlight, find their way into fissures, transforming the ice into turquoise crystal caves. Farther away, to the right of the Margerie, the Grand Pacific Glacier cascades down the mountainside like an unfurled bolt of white satin. Glacier Bay National Park encompasses a tracery of fjords winding through 1.3-million hectares of primordial Alaskan wilderness. Our ship travels past four of its 16 active tidewater glaciers: the Margerie, the Lamplugh, the Grand Pacific and the Reid glaciers. The Reid Glacier from a distance resembles the ruffled jabot

of a dandy at the court of Louis XVI, but as we move in closer, the “ruffles” turn into jagged chasms, some of which fall precipitously to a depth of 24 metres. The water streaming by our aft deck is flecked with popcornlike blobs of icebergs, but as we progress deeper into the fjord these become larger, and take on a blue-fire translucence — blownglass sculptures, which, with a little imagination, become long necked swans and leaping ballerinas. The public address system on
the aft deck of our cruise ship now crackles to life. “Folks, take a look at the lower slopes of the mountain on the starboard side … you’ll see a couple of mountain goats.” At this distance the goats are gray-white balls against a furze of brown gorse and, absorbed in their meal of spring-tender lichen, they are oblivious to the sound of clicking cameras. A little later, the dorsal fin of an Orca whale causes a stir along the deck railings on the port side. In a split second of magnificence, the whale surfaces, breaches and
disappears below the waters with a flourish of its tail flukes. Farther along a shoreline, a bald eagle swoops and soars on the wind. Moose, wolves, wolverines, lynx, Sitka black-tailed deer, marten and mink inhabit Glacier Bay’s pristine wilderness. Grizzlies too, prowl through these forests, but for now they remain curled in hibernation, for the wind blowing hard across our ship’s deck still carries the bitter chill of winter on its breath.

woods, sapling alder and spruce, the mountainsides will be covered with horsetails, yellow bell-shaped dryas blooms, starry-flowered sandwort and bright stalks of dwarf fireweed. Puffins, guillemots and terns will speckle the waters and harbour seals along with their pups will sun themselves on the icefloes. Looking out across the glinting waters, it is hard to believe that when Captain Vancouver arrived here in 1794 this arm of Glacier Bay was locked in ice to a depth of 1,220 metres. In the space of 200 years — a mere nanosecond of time in terms of the Earth’s evolution— some of these glaciers have retreated at the astonishing rate of three metres a day. Geologists have determined, however, that the advance and retreat of glaciers is cyclical, and it is conceivable that as climatic conditions change, this fjord we are now cruising through could, in the distant future, be an ice-field once more. Later that evening, I stand on the aft deck and watch the setting sun turn the sky to copper. Chiffon trails of clouds wreathe the blushed snow-capped peaks. It is dinner time and the deck is almost deserted. Other than the wash of water against our hull, dusk brings with it a silence, accentuating the harsh beauty of these desolate towering mountains. The sheer immensity of this landscape stills the mind, evoking a sense of awe which borders on the mystical. Perhaps that’s why the Hoonah Indians centuries ago, called it The Abode of God.

Though it’s Kamloops Ford Lincoln that is celebrating 35 years in 2019, they’re not expecting any gifts. In fact, they’ll be the ones giving back to the community during their anniversary event. Taking place on June 9 at the Kamloops Ford Lincoln lot at 940 Halston Ave., the event will include delicious food, drinks from Brewloops, face painting, and live entertainment including music from four bands. And getting into this fantastic event won’t cost you a thing. “We’re like, Hey, thanks for all your support over all the years,” said managing partner Steve Davidson. “Come here and this is all on us.” And while you’ll be able to examine the cars on the lot during the event, you won’t actually be able to buy any of them that day. “Some people have an anniversary and they’re like, it’s all about us, come and spend your money here,” Davidson said. “And you absolutely can’t. Nothing’s
for sale, nothing’s open on our 35th anniversary. We specifically planned it on a Sunday.” Originally located on Brentwood Ave. and 7th St., which would later become the home of Kamloops Kia, Kamloops Ford Lincoln moved to its current home on Halston Ave. in 2012. It’s not just the dealerships longevity that’s impressive, though. Kamloops Ford Lincoln has a history of inspiring its employees to stick around and there are a number of them with impressive milestones of their own. Craig Brown, who’s now the General Manager, started in the service department in 2000. “It’s a great place to work and you feel great coming to work every day,” Brown said. “We’re a hard place to get, you’ve got to drive through wherever to get here. And I think a lot of people drive here to come visit us based on our reputation and who we are.” Among other long serving
employees are Mike Slywka, who is the Shop Foreman, and has been there since joining the team in 1994, and Nick Schiavon, Parts Inventory Coordinator, who has been at the dealership since 1991. “Through the years, I’ve watched everybody kind of grow, and how the business grows, and it’s been really good to me,” said Schiavon. Slywka agreed, and pointed to the things that had kept him with the company for so long. “Just he people, probably,” he said, “and the challenge, and the change, and the improvement and the enjoyment.” It’s a group that, for everyone at Kamloops Ford Lincoln, feels more like a family than anything, in part because many of them have been together for so long. “A lot of the people in key positions here all started their careers here,” said Davidson. “So it really is testament, over the years, to everybody that’s been involved, you can start here and you can work your way up through the system.”

For now, Pruden’s plan involves keeping a restaurant and theatre on the ground floor of the redeveloped building, but beyond that, his lips are sealed. The commercial development would be Pruden’s first. He completed the purchase with the help of a small group of investors on Friday, May 31. In the past, he’s worked with another recent acquisition, Nexbuild Construction, a company under which he constructed a four-plex residential building at the corner of Larch Avenue and Schubert Drive. Pruden’s target for the building was to achieve net zero in terms of energy, and although he missed that target, he said his electricity bills range from $40 to $450 each year, with no gas bills. The energy cost savings come from photovoltaic solar panels and a heat collection method built into the building to store passive energy. “There’s room to improve and it was a bit of an experiment, so we’ll keep tweaking,” he said. Pruden’s residential development is based on certain philosophies. “I’m really into making not just housing sustainable and net-zero

developer new to commercial properties has just scooped one up on the North Shore, and as he has with one residential property already, will factor in some personal philosophies once it comes time to build. The North Shore building that houses Hatsuki Sushi and the Stage House Theatre has been sold to Miles Pruden, a communityminded developer who has plans to rebuild at the corner of Tranquille Road and Aspen Street. Prior to the redevelopment, which won’t take place until Hatsuki Sushi’s lease is up in about five years, Pruden has planned some improvements for the current tenants — something Kamloops Players treasurer and director Sharon Huuha is looking forward to. “Our ceiling fell in. It would rain and we’d have to hold an umbrella. There’s been zip put into that building,” she said. Pruden said the work will be nothing major, since there are plans to eventually tear the building down. “But we do want to make sure it’s functioning well enough to be used dependably for its current use,” he said. The Kamloops Players Society has rented the Stage House for about seven years. It presents plays of its own and rents the space to other theatre groups, such as Chimera Theatre, for “very nominal rent” as part of its mandate. Even knowing the chaos a

energy and that sort of thing, but also increasing density in a way that’s palatable for people,” he said. The budding developer has lived in Kamloops all his life and grew up in the Lac du Bois grasslands. From 1995 to 2006, he ran Armageddon Paintball. After that venture, he had the idea to build affordable net zero homes and spent 10 years saving

It’s really easy to make money when you own land, but it’s really hard to get going until you do. So as housing gets expensive, we’re putting ourselves in a society of haves and

I think there’s a lot of problems that can be solved by building smarter, and I like solving puzzles, so I thought I would give it a shot.” he said.

Paramount eyes mid-month opening under new operator JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
he Kamloops Film Society expects to begin showing films mid-month after taking over operations of the Paramount Theatre earlier this spring. KFS executive director Dusan Magdolen said cleanup, decluttering, permitting and research has been underway and films will begin on Fridays and Saturdays, with the intention of slowly expanding to seven days a week by the fall. The first films, which have yet to be announced, are expected to show on June 14 and June 15. “We’ll see how things go,” Magdolen said, noting his excitement. “But we’re starting with three movies a night.” Kamloops Film Society took over the downtown theatre, located at 503 Victoria St., after Landmark Cinemas sold it to property-management company, Kelson Group. Kelson leased the theatre for five years to KFS at below market rates, with the option for the non-profit to purchase the building at the price Kelson paid or renew the lease for an additional five years. Magdolen recently toured about a dozen independent movie theatres in the province, learning how they operate and to get a sense of some unique things
being done to compliment the silver screen. Revelstoke’s indie theatre is the lone cinema in the community, so it shows blockbusters. The Rio Theatre in Vancouver, meanwhile, focuses on a wide range of programming, including live burlesque, improv comedy and musical acts. Magdolen said touring theatres taught him which suppliers to use and showed him a point-of-sale system designed specifically for independent theatres. He said he also saw what other non-profit run theatres were doing — specifically, packing their nights. When Landmark closed the theatre, it was running two films per night at 7 p.m., he said. KFS will show at least three. “Staff wise, they’re not staying that much longer to run two more films,” Magdolen said. Other changes to Paramount underway include lighting in theatre one, the larger 500-seat theatre closest to the entryway. Magdolen said the society intends to meet with an inspector from the liquor board in the next few weeks with respect to obtaining a liquor license. Whether or not filmgoers can wash down their popcorn with a pint will depend on whether security is required, he said. The society has a long list of “wants and desires” but it all

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
When? Thursday, June 13th, 2019 at 1:15 PM The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing in the TNRD Boardroom, 4th Floor-465 Victoria St., Kamloops, BC, to consider proposed Bylaws 2678, 2684, & 2686. What is Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2678, 2019? Zoning Amendment Bylaw 2678 comprises two primary areas of change to Zoning Bylaw No. 2400: 1. A variety of changes related to cannabis production and the creation of specific parameters for small-scale commercial production. The proposed amendments would align TNRD zoning with recent federal legislation and clarify terminology in the Bylaw. 2. Minor amendments to Zoning Bylaw 2400 that further restrict the construction of second or temporary dwellings on Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) land, all to align with recent changes to provincial legislation. What is Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2684, 2019? It is to rezone 4436 Kamloops-Merritt Highway 5A, Upper Nicola (legally described as Parcel W (Plan B1293) of District Lot 117, KDYD, as shown shaded on the map at right, from RL-1: Rural to P-2: institutional. This is to enable reconstruction of Murray Church which was lost in a fire and to recognize the burial grounds surrounding the Church. What is Temporary Use Permit (TUP 37) Bylaw No. 2686, 2019? Bylaw 2686, if passed, would enable short term vacation rental of the existing residential dwelling at 5115 East Barriere Lake FSR (legally described as Block N, District Lot 1954, KDYD), as shown shaded on the map at right. The proposed term is for up to 3 years. The specific TUP 37 conditions are stipulated in the proposed permit, a part of Bylaw 2686.
your squadron. There is a plethora of options, from Rebel rookie pilots to Luke Skywalker himself. Each pilot has their own unique abilities that help you achieve victory. Clear off a table for a space to play, throw down your ships and you can begin. Each ship has a navigation dial with all of its options for manoeuvers. Both players secretly choose a manoeuvre for each ship, which adds a deep level of strategy. Not only do you need to make sure your own ships don’t crash into asteroids or each other, you also must consider what manoeuvers your opponent is going to make. After movement, each ship has an opportunity to attack. To do so, each ship rolls a number of attack or defence dice that represent their offensive or defensive capabilities. When ships take damage equal to their hull value they are
destroyed and removed from play. Whichever player eliminates all of their opponent’s ships is declared the winner. The best way to start playing X-Wing is with the game’s second edition starter set. The box contains one X-Wing miniature and two TIE fighter miniatures (which come assembled and prepainted) as well as manoeuvre templates, attack and defence dice, a deck of damage cards, an immense number of tokens, and a QuickStart guide to get you flying on your kitchen table as soon as possible. To expand your collection, there are more than 30 ship expansions spanning from Han Solo’s iconic Millennium Falcon to Boba Fett’s Slave I and even Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi star fighter. Each ship can also be upgraded. You can outfit Wedge Antilles’ X-Wing fighter with R2-D2, who can repair the ship to stay in

combat longer, or install cluster missiles on Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced, allowing him to attack two ships at once. With the seven available factions (Rebels, Empire, Scum, Resistance, First Order, Republic and Separatist) there is unlimited customization for building the squadron you want to play. X-Wing is a musthave game for Star Wars enthusiasts, or any gamer looking for a great tabletop game. The tabletop game will have you planning your strategy, manoeuvring your ships, and destroying your opponent. It provides deep tactical gameplay that encourages critical thinking and strategy, and with the vast customization available no match you play will ever be the same.

Stormy Daniels event at the Duchess was a bust TODD SULLIVAN
STAFF REPORTER
todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
N
o one I talked to knew quite what to expect from Stormy Daniels’ visit to Kamloops. Here was an adult film star who was on tour, but a tour to promote her book, Full Disclosure, and instead of doing a promotion at a book store, she would be visiting The
Duchess Nightclub, known more for exotic dancers than literary icons. It seemed like an event that could have gone in just about any number of weird and wonderful directions, and of all the things the June 2 event could have been, the last thing I would have expected was that it be a disappointment. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what it was.
Doors at the Duchess opened at 7 p.m., with the event planned to start an hour later at 8 p.m. The evening was to begin with a talk from Daniels before transitioning to a meet-andgreet and photo-op with fans. Things didn’t go as planned, though, and Daniels didn’t arrive until almost 10 o’clock, leaving the 30 to 40 people in attendance
waiting two hours for her arrival. And once she arrived, she skipped over any sort of talk or reading that she might have done and instead went straight for the meet-and-greet portion of the night. To her credit, she seemed incredibly friendly and accommodating to those who were there to see her. When I made it through the short
line-up, she chatted with me briefly, signed the back of my ticket — “Breast Wishes” she wrote, somewhat appropriately — and posed for a half-dozen photos, including a couple of more playful poses. But friendly or not, it wasn’t the event we were promised, or the event I expected — and that’s from someone who would have been happy whichever way
it leaned, whether towards the literary or the sexy. But it didn’t lean to either side, it barely existed at all. Just before I left, I looked to the side stage where Daniels and her crew were sitting. The line of fans who had come to see her had already dried up.
Some were still in the building, but they had returned to their tables and their drinks. As for Daniels, she was on the sofa, legs crossed, staring off into space. She almost looked like she was wondering why she was there. I couldn’t help but wonder the same thing.

Lions’ QB Reilly: ‘There is no better scenario for a team to come and do camp’ MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW B.C. Lions’ quarterback Mike Reilly sandwiched by a pair of fans at B.C. Lions Fan Fest last Saturday. The 10th straight Lions’ training camp in Kamloops wrapped up on Wednesday. The Lions are under contract to host camp in Kamloops through 2020.
KAMLOOPS
Mike Reilly and Bryan Burnham sauntered out of Hillside Stadium wearing street clothes, a pair of relaxed-looking B.C. Lions. Merriment was all over their faces. Three weeks of hard work and seclusion in Kamloops is enough. Training camp reached a welcomed end on Wednesday. “Camp is always exciting when it starts,” said quarterback Reilly, who in February signed a fouryear, $2.9 million contract. “It’s always more exciting when it ends, but that’s because the work has been put in. It’s time to move on and get prepped for the season to start.” The Lions are under contract to hold training camp in Kamloops next year, but the deal with the city expires after 2020. “We were literally just talking about this as we were walking off the track, looking at the view and saying, ‘Soak it up. We won’t see this place until next year.’ It’s an awesome venue,” Reilly said. “The views are cool, the city treats us really well, but the facilities are perfect for a training camp. “You’ve got the dorms, where everybody is housed, and you’ve got the meal hall and the facility here with the field and the meeting rooms, weight rooms and the pool. There is no better scenario for a team to come and do camp.” Burnham has six times made the reflective stroll to the Thompson Rivers University dorms from Hillside Stadium following the final training-camp session. “I agree with everything he just said,” said Burnham, a receiver who is under contract with the Lions through 2020. “You’re driving up through the mountains and you think you’re in the middle of nowhere and then you get up here and you see this big city built into the mountains. Kamloops has a special place in

my heart. This is my sixth year here. This is where I made my pro career happen.” Cities across the province will make pitches, bids to intercept Lions’ training camp. Nanaimo, Prince George, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Courtenay and Kelowna were among cities rumoured to be interested in hosting the pre-season festivities when they were last up for grabs in 2017. “I hope we do continue to come to Kamloops, but we are the British Columbia Lions and if we have to go elsewhere, I won’t have a problem with it, but I do enjoy coming to Kamloops,” Burnham said. Added Reilly: “I love having it here, but whatever the decision is, if they feel like they want to move it around so it’s a little more accessible to people around the province, then I would understand that, too, but I’m perfectly happy to do camp in Kamloops.” The Lions’ final pre-season tune-up will come against the Calgary Stampeders on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. at BC Place Stadium. “We hit the ground running at the start of camp, then we kind of hit a speed bump and had a little adversity for a few practices, and it was necessary,” Burnham said. “We were back on track these last few days and put together some really good practices. “I’m excited to actually put it together and compete against another team.”

Sa-Hali secondary athletes banded together two years ago to get the ball rolling on a pair of beach volleyball courts on the southwest side of the school campus. The legacy project is finished and the inaugural Sa-Hali Beach Blast Women’s 2s Tournament last weekend marked the grand opening of the courts. “This is them taking ownership of it and not waiting for someone else to provide,” said Wai Ma, a teacher and coach at Sa-Hali who helped oversee the project. “We did this together and it’s been great.” Students created a proposal for former Sa-Hali principal Sean Lamoureux and the Ministry of Transportation, which owns the land. Ma, Emily Blower, Jaylyn Askeland, Emily Matthew, Kimberly Howard, Taryn Walter, Tegan Heshka, Marly Carusi, Alysha Muzio, Kennedy Robidoux, Josie Cumming, Sara Lane and Kaya Earl were on the presenta-

tion committee. They received a permit for the project and sponsors came on board to donate time and labour, with Chinook Cove Contracting, Roadman Transport, Extreme Excavating and Dawson Construction among contributors. Parents, staff and students helped with labour, which began last August and finished in the fall. Students will be in charge of maintenance, which includes weeding and raking the sand to make sure no
foreign objects are lying underneath. Indoor court time is not always easy to come by, especially with a recent surge in the popularity of basketball, said Ma. The new courts help address that problem and provide more physical-education options at the school, with fitness training and sand soccer among potential activities, as the volleyball nets are removable. “There is enthusiasm for volleyball and to compete with the
other volleyball athletes in the province, who are mostly on the Lower Mainland,” Ma said. “Beach volleyball has become a fastgrowing sport which helps complement the indoor game. “With two versus two, the athletes benefit from getting a lot of contact with the volleyball and you have to be more well-rounded with skills because you do everything.” RESULTS The Sa-Hali Beach Blast Women’s 2s
Tournament was held at Sa-Hali secondary on Saturday. Katie House and Emily Blower finished atop Pool A standings, while Caet McCorkell and Sawyer Hawgood topped Pool B. The teams met in the gold-medal match, with McCorkell and Hawgood earning a straight-sets victory — 21-18, 21-17. Kamryn Cousins and Emily Matthew knocked off Sydney Schell and Josie Cumming 21-16, 21-18 to win bronze.

Walking the BC Wildlife Park
C
lover the Kermode bear walks on a path in front of the viewing platform where we visitors are waiting to be entranced by him. He sits down, rolls his head around in a semi-circle, sniffs the air with two dark undulating nostrils and folds himself down onto the new spring grass, whereupon he eats it in little bits, pulling it up with his teeth, chewing deliberately. It’s a warm, mid-week spring day and I am walking the trails of the 43-hectare BC Wildlife Park. If I go the long way around the perimeter, I have the trail to myself and am unhindered as I make my way into the wooden enclosures that provide vantage points for watching, talking to, wondering about and marvelling at the various wild animals here. Most of them have been rescued after becoming orphaned, injured or sick. They are safe, though, and while they are acting bored, they seem resigned to their fate, even content. Except for the two silver coyotes. I see them trotting around their enclosure, sometimes following each other, sometimes diverting to a hollow log or a patch of new grass. Once or twice, they cast a glance upwards toward me and send a signal that I interpret as more than a tinge of exasperation, as if to tell me, yes, I know, we see you, and yes, we have been here for years and we are still not used to being cooped up like this. Are the coyotes relying on me to empathize with them? I doubt it. It’s clear that as they glance up through the plexiglass, they are aware of my presence. But soon I will move on and they will still be there. See you next time, I say to them. It is what it is. I talk aloud to the cougars, too. At the far end of their enclosure, in a large open-ended wooden box, I can barely make out the two large cats reclining. The older female cougar allows the leaning against her of her male companion, now about two years old. The youngster was orphaned when a conservation officer shot and killed his mother, who had gotten into an altercation with some hikers. This young cougar is lolling around in front of his foster mother, welcoming the warmth she is emitting and the security of her bulk. Is their consciousness like mine? The cougars seem healthy, as do the badgers, bison, whitetailed deer, mule deer, elk, moose, Rocky Mountain goats, big horn sheep, two grizzly bears, three brown bears (two black and one tan), trio of Arctic wolves,

dozen birds of prey (falcon, eagle, owl), porcupines and an unknown number of hoary marmots roaming around. Ah, here comes a young couple and their toddler in a stroller. The man glances at me and returns my zippered smile. The woman is intent on pushing the stroller away from some bumps and ruts in the path. As I wander farther, I pass over the steel tracks belonging to the Wildlife Express miniature train and visualize it full of kids. They will scramble into the seats of the open cars, imitating the train’s noisy whistle with glee while waiting to get going on a route that will take them past most of the animals. As I continue to amble, another group is walking toward me. It’s a woman of middle age, an elderly man, a boy about 15 and a girl about six. It’s immediately apparent to me that the woman is a caretaker of the others, who are unable to look after themselves. The man and the boy greet me. I say hi, nod my head and keep walking. They appear happy to be here. Another couple is walking nearby, this time in the same direction I am going. They are taking turns keeping track of a little boy about four who darts here and there, looking at all the animals and the fences and gates and hay and rocks on the path and, well, everything that little boys look at. He does not return my glance, but his mother does, nodding her head and producing a small thin smile. The dad is oblivious to all of us, his head bent over his mobile phone, his walking awkward. In the distance, a groundskeeper is digging up soil near a mound of rocks, probably intending to make the terrain more interesting for whatever animal gets the surprise of being gated there. He is too far away to engage with directly. In his peripheral vision and other senses, is he aware of my presence? It’s his daily job and he seems content. As I round a small hill, I am aware of a fragrance in the air, so I look up and around. It’s spring, so the Saskatoon trees are blos-
soming. Bees of all shapes and colours are flying near them, finding their reward for coming out of their hives on a sunny day. I bend over to take a whiff of blossoms and wait until a bumble bee flies out of my way before touching my nose to some ivory petals. I am humming to myself as I round a corner and head toward the visitor centre. I use the washroom and drink from a water fountain. I can acknowledge the clerk in the souvenir shop and, if I want to, engage her in chitchat about the weather, animals, and things they have to sell on the shelves. Instead, I pass by the clerk and glide through the exit doors. Clover the Kermode bear, the one I waited all winter to see, was late coming out of hibernation, late compared to the grizzlies and brown bears. Odd that it is Clover’s colour — champagne — that lures many curious visitors here. Spring is wake-up time for us humans, too, when we can be more easily in contact with other humans, animals, plants, the air, the noises, the odours, through every source available. Or we can decide not to. I have not seen all the 60-plus animal species in this wildlife park, but I plan to come again soon and scout out some I have missed. A few animals are in rehabilitation spaces and cannot be seen by people other than staff until they are recovered (including a young bobcat at the moment). I wonder how many animals will be rescued this season and end up here? Which ones will be rehabilitated? Which ones will not make it? On my next trip, I will time my visit to correspond with the feeding of certain animals, feeding by a wildlife expert who will tell us about each animal, its history, its habits, its needs and its future here. I look forward to this. As I head for my car, I plan ahead to turn on the radio to my local CBC station as soon as I turn on the engine. It will be time for the noon news. Today I am solitary, in contact, content. Joy Belle Conrad-Rice is a Quaker, someone whose faith and practice is part of the Religious Society of Friends.

Merle was born and raised in Glenboro, Manitoba and tells many stories of swimming in the river, skating and going by horse and buggy to her aunt’s farm for family occasions. She graduated in nursing from Winnipeg General Hospital and was always very proud of being a nurse.

Louis Alfred Hynes January 18, 1931 - May 30, 2019
It is with great sadness that
we are saying good-bye to Louis Alfred Hynes at the age of 88 years. Louis was born in Wokingham, County of Berkshire, England and arrived in Quebec by ship on August 26, 1932. He is predeceased by his parents and his first wife Jennie in 1989 and later, his second wife Beverly in 2011. Louis will be greatly missed by his sister Marie McCormick, nephew Rodney Wolfe (Johanne), nieces Sandra Pettipas (Glen), Colleen McCormick and Diane Schmidt, his great-nieces Mallory, Denise, Lisa, Ivy and great-nephews Nicholas and Micheal. Louis is related to the Hynes family of Harrogate, BC. Louis loved being outside, working in his huge garden; well known for growing his huge, juicy red tomatoes, of all kinds. He also loved fishing and hunting with his buddies from Kamloops. Louis was a great cook and loved to prepare all kinds of wonderful meals. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in Kamloops, BC.
Every two years they moved the family to a new base. However after a five year stint at Mt. Lolo Air Force Base in Kamloops, they knew they would retire in Kamloops. After moving here, Merle once again nursed at Royal Inland Hospital. When she retired from nursing she volunteered with the Breast Cancer Prevention program (teaching women to self exam), working in grief support and early fundraising for hospice and the RIH Thrift Store. She attended St. Paul’s Cathedral and enjoyed the monthly Friday discussions. In later years, she could not attend church so Verna Albright and Lindley Roff brought Communion to her once a month which was greatly appreciated. We are sad to see her go but happy her trials (which she met with grace and good humour) are over. The family appreciates the care and consideration given to Merle from the nursing staff, care aids and staff of RIH, Ponderosa Lodge and Overlander Extended Care. There will be a Memorial Service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola Street, Kamloops on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 11:00 am. Dean Ken Gray to officiate. Donations can be made to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation and Kamloops Hospice Association. Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Pat leaves behind by her loving husband John, children Stephen (Melanie) and Lisa, grandchildren Alec, Brandon (Ashley) and Lance, mother Verna Schnider, sister Sherry Rostron and many relatives and friends. Pat was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. With her husband John, they raised their family in Port Coquitlam. They later moved to Kamloops in 2004 to enjoy their retirement. She loved to spend time with her family, go for adventurous walks, enjoy a glass of wine and travel with her husband by her side, whenever they could get away. She had a passion for shoes. Especially admiring and commenting on others, hoping she could find the right size. She always made sure your favourite meal was prepared for those special occasions. Not to mention her specialty desserts for everyone who enjoyed them and only sharing the recipe with a selective few. Such a wonderful and beautiful lady, who touched the lives of many. Always caring to everyone. We will remember the way she made us laugh, her wonderful smile and the spunky and funny things she always did. You will forever be in our hearts and minds. She will be missed by everyone, including her friends at the gym and her volunteer group at the Western Canada Theatre.

In Loving Memory of Arno Kreutz
It is with heavy hearts and much sadness that the family of Arno Kreutz announce his passing in the early hours of Saturday, May 25, 2019. He passed peacefully in his sleep at the age of 89. He is survived by his loving wife Wally (Waltraud) of 61 years, children Tom (Lois), Heide (Don), Heinz (Kathy), grandchildren Haley, Spencer and Courtney, numerous nieces and nephews in Canada and Germany. He was born in Germany and immigrated to Canada in the mid 1950s. He first settled in Brandon, Manitoba where he met and married the love of his life Wally (Waltraud Walter), also from Germany. While in Brandon he worked in modern dairies, and construction. Later, he returned to school and received his certification as a registered orderly, then worked in the Assiniboine Hospital also in Brandon. He moved his family to Kamloops, BC in 1967, where he continued to work as an orderly in Royal Inland Hospital. He retired at the age of 58 after working many years at the McArthur Island Sports Centre. He spent his retirement years, together with his wife in Barriere, BC. Arno was always a hard worker and took great pride in all his jobs. Over the years, he built three homes for his family to enjoy. He loved fishing, camping, travel, tinkering in the garage, or working on their acreage. In later years, he spent much time playing cards or board games with Wally and friends. Arno gave countless volunteer hours helping to build the Barriere Seniors Hall. He distributed fresh water and ice in the aftermath of the fire which swept through Barriere and surrounding communities in 2003. He was a noble man who will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He will forever remain in our hearts. Please join the family for a Celebration of Arno’s Life on Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 2:00 pm at Barriere Seniors Hall, 4433 Barriere Town Road, Barriere, BC.

Predeceased by his wife Ruth (2005), his brother Ron (1998), his father George (1977), his mother Gertrude (1945) and many beloved relatives and friends.

He loved the outdoors and with his family camped, hiked and skied. Memorable destinations included Spruce Lake, Expo 67, Maui, Japan, Mystery Trips, any place where there were singable, danceable songs and particularly his children’s homes. Upon retirement he and Ruth moved to Salt Spring Island and plunged into island life. There, he loved golf and singing with the Salt Spring Island Choir. Moving to Kamloops 13 years later he devoted himself entirely to caring for Ruth. In the past decade his real joy was watching his many offspring grow and learn. Frequent calls, photos and visits by family and friends sustained him. To the end, he was involved and interested in what they were doing, smiling as he looked at real time pictures of them. He was the first to say that he had a wonderful life. Special thanks to the caring staff of Chartwell Kamloops and Royal Inland Hospital.

Keith was predeceased by his dad Ed and his brother Carter. Keith grew up in Northern Alberta and spent his time driving semi-truck to all sorts of remote places. In 2005, he moved to Kamloops to help raise his niece and nephew Katie and Kyle. With the move, he chose to change his career path and went into construction. He performed a variety of tasks such as a renovator doing carpentry and then went on to heavy construction as pipe fitter, certified crane operator, heavy equipment operator and general Jack-of-all-trades. His passion for riding really began when Keith purchased his Cherry Red Fat Boy Harley in February 2011. His circle of friends expanded with this new love of riding. He loved nothing more than to join friends on a road trip to wherever the winds took them. These friends became new brothers and sisters and joined his family.

Arnold George Armstrong Arnold George Armstrong passed peacefully away on May 24, 2019 at Overlander Extended Care Hospital at the age of 95. Surrounded by family, friends and angels on this journey, now with his wife Joyce and his Lord Jesus Christ. He was born on December 14, 1923 in Prince George, BC to Robert Clausen Armstrong and Mary Mabel Hall. Dad came from Newton, BC to Kamloops in the spring of 1938. He was ill with asthma and was advised by his doctor to move to a dryer climate, otherwise he would soon die. His uncle Frank found employment for him with Lawrence Shannon, shepherding off the Cardo Hill Road to Barnhartvale. A year later, he had a job with Alex Bulman at the Willow Ranch, here he became a cowboy, staying for eight years until shortly after this ranch sold. During this time, Dad met Mom while she was visiting her sister Shirley and husband Fred Hutchinson. They were married on June 7, 1947 at St. Aidan’s Presbyterian Church in New Westminster and came to live at the Willow Ranch, then moved to a cabin above Trapp Lake. In 1948, they went to work for Ralph and Shirley Devick at the Klondike Ranch near Knouff/Sullivan Lake. Alex and Edith were born during this time and when during the winter there was not enough work on the ranch, Dad went logging, just down the road. He worked with many fine men and made lifelong friendships with those such as Ephraim and Ida Steinke, Bert and Anda Warner, Clarence and Delores Jules. He then moved to Heffley area and worked for the Doug Palmer family for two years. Then in 1953, Dad was offered a “share job” by John and

In early 1958, Dad applied at the Old Gaol, 400 block Columbia Street and we moved into Kamloops, living for the 1st year in town while Dad, Mom and friends built a house on Drevlo Road, now known as Young Avenue in Brocklehurst. The family was completed when three more sons arrived. Dad worked for the BC Corrections for 25 years, good years except the 1962 R.C.M.P. tragedy. He was transferred to Raleigh Camp when it was built 1963. Dad was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for 69 years. Dad had a family project “Armstrong Christmas Trees” that kept him, Grampa Scotty and the kids and grandkids (including neighbourhood kids) busy for many years.

They travelled south with friends Hugh and Wynne McTaggert, toured with Wells Gray and Sun Fun and “Field Trips” with the family. Dad loved playing cards, especially crib and woodwork. He enjoyed his BCGEU lunches with fellow guards. In 2002, Dad and Mom moved to Cottonwood, stayed 14 years, then moved to Chartwell Renaissance. Dad was predeceased by his wife Joyce, his four brothers Ken (Aileen), Jim, Frank (Kay) and Ron, in-laws Shirley (Fred) Hutchinson, nieces Sherry Thomas, Barb Byette, Bonnie Armstrong, nephew Ross Nodge, sonin-law Kenneth McLean and many friends.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. Why do I need to bring the birth certificate?
Thank you to everyone who touched our Dad’s life, to us he was pretty amazing. Thank you to all at Cottonwood Manor, Chartwell Renaissance, Ponderosa Care Home and Overlander Extended Care Hospital, the BCGEU, Dr. Derek Ottem and Sandra, R.I.H., HandiDART, BC Ambulance and the caring nurses of Interior Health through these past few years. Thank you to Rev. Steve Filyk and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and to the Free Methodist Church for all of their visits and encouragement. Any donations to MWS Hospice would be greatly appreciated.
A. We ask for the deceased person’s birth certificate, care card, and social insurance card. Many times, the info on the birth certificate is different from what the family thinks is correct -- names spelled differently, dates a little off, etc. Errors can cost you money, payable to Vital Stats. Call/drop by.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Dad on Sunday, July 14, 2019 at 6:00 pm at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 6th and Douglas Street, Kamloops. Rev. Steve Filyk will officiate. Matt:25 16-23. And the Lord said “well done son”, and the people said “Amen”.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Marjorie Elizabeth Bancroft McIntosh With sad hearts but happy memories we advise of the passing of Marjorie Elizabeth Bancroft McIntosh on June 2, 2019. She was born to Bessie and Trask Mosher in 1922 in Port Alberni. Marjorie is predeceased by sister Ada (Bob Warner) and brothers Stafford (Eirien), Mark (Roslyn) and Vaughan (Helen). She is survived by daughter Jean and son-in-law Patrick Price, as well as many nieces, nephews, grand and great-grand nieces and nephews throughout the western provinces. Marjorie moved with her parents from Port Alberni to Lynn Valley where she finished high school, then worked in Vancouver and pursued her letters in piano. She married Bob (Robert Anderson) McIntosh in 1952 and they followed his banking career to McBride, New Westminster, Kamloops and Vancouver before retiring to Saanichton in 1975. Bob passed away in 1988. Jean had followed a career path to Port Alberni and in 2000 Marjorie moved back to the town of her birth to be with Jeannie and Pat. Marjorie (and Bob) were active and made great friends, in every community they lived in. Margie was always involved in the Presbyterian Church and constantly involved with music, as organist for a number of churches and accompanist for choirs, soloists and small ensembles. She was an observant and appreciative lover of gardening, nature and wildlife, especially birds. A warm, considerate and kind person, she will be greatly missed.
