Five-year-old Hudson Fenwick sits perched in one of the beautiful, old trees in Riverside Park, clutching his birthday balloon. Perhaps he is taking a moment to reflect on his young life or, maybe, like Winnie the Pooh, he is contemplating bees and honey. The active youngster spent the morning with friends and family at Thursday’s annual Teddy Bear/ Mother Goose Picnic, hosted by the City of Kamloops, Kamloops YMCA/YWCA, Kamloops Early Language and Literacy Initiative, School District 73 and the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library.

Simpcw First Nation wants say in Canfor’s timber rights sale KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Interfor’s planned $60-million purchase of Canfor’s timber rights is being opposed by the Simpcw First Nation unless the band has a role in management of the area forests. Canfor last week announced it will close its sawmill in Vavenby, near Clearwater, in July and sell timber rights for the operation to Interfor, which intends to use that product at its Adams Lake sawmill. The timber rights sale needs approval from the provincial government. “It’s a non-starter,” Simpcw Chief Shelly Loring said. “Unless and until Simpcw has a meaningful role in management of our forests, this transaction will not go forward. The loss of 178 jobs in a small community is most definitely not in the public interest. Simpcw is not only looking out for our own interests, but the local interests up and down our valley.” Loring said Canfor’s timber rights are in the heart of the First Nation’s territory, noting Simpcw has consistently expressed its focus on acquiring tenure to grow its forestry operations, including in a meeting in May with Forests Minister Doug Donaldson. “We were clear that forest tenure and forest management is a key component to Simpcw’s economic sustainability

and reconciliation with the province,” Loring said. “We have also had discussions with Interfor and Canfor. They were both aware of our interests. It’s unfortunate that with this knowledge, instead of working with us, they were making a deal in another room.” Tina Donald, a Simpcw councillor and manager of the First Nation’s natural resources department, cited Bill 22 as a tool for the province to level the playing field between larger private companies and First Nations. Bill 22, implemented in April by order-in-council, means that any sale or transfer of timber rights must be approved by the forests ministry. The aim of the bill is to address concentration of timber rights among the few larger forestry companies by allowing First Nations, employees and the general public to have input. “We are prepared to work collaboratively with the province on this, but we will not hesitate to take appropriate action to ensure that our rights are protected and we are preserving our forests for our future generations,” Loring said. Calls to Canfor were not returned to KTW by press deadline on Thursday. Simpcw First Nation covers about five-million hectares in the North Thompson region and has a band membership of more than 700.

Two men killed in a boating accident on Osoyoos Lake last weekend, one of whom lived in Kamloops, have been identified by friends on social media. Ryan Ellison, 35, who lived in Kamloops, but was originally from Maple Ridge, and Nick Trask, 36, from Maple Ridge, died after two boats collided on the lake last Saturday evening. The two longtime friends were reported missing following the collision. RCMP divers found and recovered the bodies at just after 7 p.m. on Sunday. The boats sank quickly and three other people were taken to hospital — two in critical condition and one in stable condition, according to BC Emergency Health Services spokesperson Vincent Chou. Osoyoos Fire Department Fire Chief Ryan McCaskill said the three people hospitalized were on the same boat. Police continue to investigate the crash and

Osoyoos RCMP Sgt. Jason Bayda told KTW there are still a lot of unknowns and said the investigation will be lengthy. “It’s not much different than, say, a plane crash, but yet quite different from a road crash,” Bayda said. “When there’s a collision on the water, we

don’t have skid marks to view and determine speed and things like that.” Both boats have been removed from the water and are now being examined at a compound, Bayda said. “We’ve got to take every little piece of evidence we can and put that together to come up with what happened here and we’re still in that process,” Bayda said, noting mechanical inspections are being done and witness interviews and surveillance video are being reviewed. Police have a copy of one video of the crash that was show on television news, which somewhat indicates the boats were travelling at a 90-degree angle to each other, but evidence on the boats is not completely consistent with that, Bayda said. “There’s a lot of stuff to do to determine the actual angles the boats were travelling at,” he said. Bayda said officers had preliminary talks with the three people taken to hospital, but still have to conduct follow-up interviews. Police don’t believe the parties involved knew each other.

Housing project hopes to ditch diesel generator for BC Hydro power this month JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
BC Hydro is expected to connect power to a 55-unit transitional housing project on Mission Flats Road within two weeks. Mission Flats Manor has been powered via diesel generator since opening last November. Diesel power has been criticized for being costly, noisy and bad for the environment. “Frankly, we had no other option,” Ask Wellness executive director Bob Hughes told KTW. “What other source of power do we get, other than being on the grid? It was and still remains a housing emergency, so do we sacrifice the well-being of individuals because we’re not willing to burn fuel? It’s an unfortunate reality that we have found ourselves in after a decade of being somewhat negligent around the needs of affordable and supportive housing in our community.” Mission Flats Manor was built by the province and city (with the city leasing the land to Victoria for $1 per year). BC Housing is covering day-to-day costs and ASK Wellness is in charge of operating the living units. Hughes said the former workforce camp went from concept to delivery at an “incredibly rapid pace” of 11 weeks. At the time of its opening,
BC Housing regional director Ann Howard told KTW it came together in record time, with no other project in B.C. being completed so quickly. What has stalled the project from getting on BC Hydro’s grid is a lack of power supply. Hughes said re-engineering was needed to accommodate an extra 400 amps of service to power wall air conditioners. He said ground work is being done and Mission Flats Manor should be powered by BC Hydro within 10 and 14 days. Meanwhile, the diesel generator continues to run and has been operating for seven months, Two sources familiar with such systems told KTW northern and rural communities depend on diesel for power, though even in those communities the trend has shifted to renewable energy. In places like Kamloops, diesel power is unusual and comes with negative trade-off. The carbon-fuelled systems create exhaust and carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas emissions). While not speaking directly to the Mission Flats Manor operation, director of engineering services at Thompson Rivers University, said a diesel generator running since last November would be similar to having a semi-truck idling during that time period. Thompson Rivers University environmental studies professor Michael Mehta said diesel exhaust is a known human
carcinogen with short-term and long-term health implications, from aggravating asthma to cancer. “These are relatively lowincome, vulnerable people being exposed to an environmental pollutant, which is really unacceptable,” Mehta said. He estimated an “extremely high” cost between five and 10 times that per kilowatt hour of BC Hydro electricity, due to the price of diesel fuel. KTW is awaiting a response from BC Housing on the costs accumulated so far with diesel power usage. Hughes conceded it is disappointing and unfortunate to have had to use diesel power, but underlined the importance of the housing to the people who live there. Currently, he said, 55 vulnerable people live on site, paying subsidized rent of $375 per month, with three meals per day, areas for socialization, health care and laundry. “They’re thriving,” Hughes said. “It’s an incredible community of people there. “They’ve got a horseshoe pit at the back that they’ve built. They do their own barbecues. One guy went out and bought a barbecue. “People are getting better and that’s the part that I go, it’s a terrible sacrifice we’ve made around the consumption of fossil fuels, but what the outcome has been is 55 people now have a home.”

City, TNRD want more recycling options RECYCLE BC IS BEING ASKED TO COLLECT INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL RECYCLING JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops city councillor and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District want Recycle BC to accept industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) recycling. Recycle BC has arrangements with a small number of depots in the province to collect ICI recycling, but has halted allowing additional municipalities to add on the service — an idea floated at both city hall and at the TNRD. The TNRD said that, as of May 2019, Recycle BC “unexpectedly stopped.” Coun. Kathy Sinclair called it a step backwards. “They [Recycle BC] said they may do it in future, but they need to reconsider,” Sinclair said. “So, basically, throughout the TNRD and here in Kamloops, Recycle BC will no longer take any business recycling anymore, at all. So, we’re really going backwards. We say we have a growing problem. We have seen the federal [government] move to rectify that on a residential sector basis, but we have a real issue.”
Sinclair said Kamloops’ waste stream is 60 per cent commercial, industrial and institutional, amounting to a larger problem that residential. TNRD manager of environmental services Jamie Vieira said that when the TNRD signed on with Recycle BC last year, its contract — residential only — included the option to opt into ICI recycling at a cost of $60,000 annually. That option has since been taken off the table. “There was an option with the contract that said if you want to take ICI recycling, we will let you do that, but you will not get paid for it and you have to pay us,” Vieiera said. “TNRD would have to pay Recycle BC because that’s not within their responsibility. That was the decision three months ago or two months ago, the board made, saying yes, we want to pay the extra money so we can provide this service to our residents. “So, then, we went to Recycle BC and said we want to take this option that’s clearly written in the contract and they came back to us just a few weeks ago and said actually we changed our mind, that’s
not an option any more.” Recycle BC maintains ICI is not included within its program and that it never had an arrangement with the TNRD. “We totally appreciate that there’s interest on the part of some municipalities and regional districts to start having us accept these materials,” Recycle BC spokesperson Dave Lefebvre told KTW. “They’re not part of our program plan and what we’re doing right now is we’re taking the time to fully evaluate the issue.” Asked why Recycle BC cannot accept Kamloops and TNRD ICI recycling, Lefebvre cited issues with contamination and global markets. A staff report that went before the TNRD board on Thursday noted ICI recycling “continues to be a challenge in most areas of the province due to poor market conditions and lack of private sector collection options. Local governments are faced with either directing ICI recycling into landfills or setting up separate collection programs for ICI materials.” Sinclair made a notice of motion during Tuesday’s regular
city council meeting, requesting the Union of BC Municipalities to lobby the province to amend recycling regulations to include ICI in its extended producer responsibility plans for packaging and printed paper. Sinclair attended the Recycling Council of BC Conference about a month ago, where she said it became clear political pressure was needed. Her motion will be debated next week. “I think we’ll find a lot of support if this does go to UBCM resolution because every municipality is in the same boat and the city could create an ICI recycling program ourselves, but it’s going to be extremely costly and one of the reasons we went with Recycle BC was that over a longer term it prevents us from having to take on that piece,” she said. Meanwhile, TNRD staff on Thursday also recommend to the board political pressure — a letter to the BC Minister of Environment George Heyman urging ICI recycling be added to the BC Recycling Regulation, a meeting request with Heyman at this fall’s Union of BC Municipalities convention and a
dsom
mun by randi ed
letter to the Recycle BC chair and board of directors asking reconsideration of the decision. Also on the table was a costly alternative for the TNRD to accept ICI paper and containers — plastic, tin and other containers currently accepted in the residential stream — at TNRD disposal facilities. Vieira said the TNRD can truck the materials to Vancouver at a cost of between $200 to $400 per tonne on behalf of the regional district, compared to $80 per tonne to bring it to the landfill. Residents would be charged $80 for ICI recycling, meaning the TNRD would offer the service at a loss. “We’re trying to have a sustainable, long-term waste reduction plan,” Vieira said. “Our waste-reduction program, our full waste-management goal is to reduce the waste to landfill and divert as much as we can. “We’re seeing this expense as an interim measure in hope that it will become part of the regulated material.” The TNRD board dealt with the issue after KTW press deadline.

Another Cavers ghost motion evaporates JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops council has nixed an idea to provide seniors free transit use during midday, non-peak times. Following a lengthy debate on Tuesday, council decided not enough information was known to make a decision. “We need to be intentional when we make these decisions,” Coun. Sadie Hunter said. The idea was one of former councillor Donovan Cavers’ so-called ghost motions. Cavers filed 11 notices of motion at his final council meeting last October, with each notice of motion to be introduced monthly. Cavers failed in his bid for re-election in the Oct. 21 civic election. Hunter said she did not think Cavers’ suggestion was a bad idea, but she suggested council did not have enough information to make an informed decision. Questions posed by council included: Could other demographics, such as youth, benefit from free transit? How would it impact the recently approved budget? How would the service be monitored? Could it create problems for bus drivers? Would it align with BC Transit? The city’s corporate services director, Kathy Humphrey, said there would “defi-

nitely be” an impact to the budget and she suggested the idea could be considered during next year’s budget cycle. Coun. Bill Sarai said seniors deserve a break, but conceded he would support a similar initiative for youth. He suggested the issue be taken back to the committee level for further hashing out, given the little information available and questions posed by councillor. However, he could only get two other councillors on his side, with the vote to refer the issue failing by a vote of 6-3. Councillors Sarai, Dale Bass and Denis Walsh voted in support of the motion, while Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dieter Dudy, Hunter, Mike O’Reilly, Kathy Sinclair and Arjun Singh were opposed. Walsh argued it was a “very good idea” that needed more research. Bass noted there was no timeline for implementation, adding she did not want to see the idea die. “I just think that it’s the right thing to do,” Walsh said. Christian, however, noted the issue was not identified during council’s strategic planning, while Sinclair said the city’s new recently approved ARCH program will provide subsidized transit to low-income individuals. A second vote, on Cavers’ motion to implement the service, was rejected unanimously by council.

BASE BREAKS ON INCOME, NOT AGE
P
redictably, Kamloops council has again dismissed a notice of motion filed last year by former councillor Donovan Cavers. Cavers failed in his bid for a third term on council in the Oct. 20, 2018, election. At his final council, meeting, he submitted 11 notices of motion, with one to be introduced each month for the next 11 months. It is June and, this past Tuesday, another notice of motion was received and dismissed by council — but not before healthy discussion. Cavers’ idea was to offer seniors free use of transit during mid-day, non-peak hours. It is an idea worth considering, as some councillors noted, but why limit such a program to seniors? As some councillors noted, there are others in Kamloops facing similar financial constraints who could use a hand up and onto the bus. In the end, because more information on impact is needed and because the transit budget for the year has been set, council decided to not embrace Cavers’ idea just yet. However, this provides an opportune time to urge council — and any level of government or private business — to widen the scope when considering discounts for customers. Not all seniors are fiscally challenged, just as not all 40-somethings are financially secure. If transit use is to be offered free to a group, let it be as segment that is in need of such a break due to the numbers in the bank account, not the digits on the birth certificate. Transit’s ARCH program already does that — providing subsidized rides to people with low income. It is now time for all other discount programs to follow suit and design a method for testing and determining which customers and clients should qualify for eligibility.

Snitching away rights
I
magine the following scenario. You leave work and make a beeline for home, intent on catching the opening kickoff of the big game. You drive the speed limit, maybe a few clicks above, like every other driver on the road. Perhaps a vindictive ex is the car next to you at the red light. Maybe someone else saw you swerve to avoid a pot hole. Perhaps the driver behind you simply hates the make of your vehicle. You arrive home, enter the house, get changed, open a cold beer and plant yourself in front of the TV. The game is as exciting as anticipated and you realize you have had four beers by the time half-time arrives 90 minutes later. You are thinking you should make some dinner. Just then, the doorbell rings. You answer and two police officers are on your doorstep. Someone reported your vehicle as being driven by a suspected drunk driver about an hour-and-a-half ago. Can’t be me, you tell the police. You drove straight from work to home and only had your first beer once you turned on your TV. Nevertheless, you are ordered to perform a breathalyzer test and you fail. You lose your licence for 90 days, your car is impounded, you are facing thousands of dollars in fines — all for being guilty of drinking while seated in a couch in your home. Yes, it sounds utterly ridiculous, but that is how the law works in Canada, with an East Germanstyle Stasi-state snitch society percolating thanks to a colossal failure by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, then-Justice Minister
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS Jody Raybould Wilson and every other MP in Ottawa who voted in favour of a most heinous impaireddriving law that has stripped rights from citizens. The above scenario has already happened, although the woman targeted managed to have the province’s superintendent of motor vehicles reverse her punishment on appeal. But Lee Lowrie only prevailed because she had video proving police in Maple Ridge lied when they claimed she did not ask for a second breathalyzer test and was slurring her words. She did ask for a second test and was not slurring her speech. The fact she was charged for DUI after sitting around her sister’s pool for a couple of hours was not a factor in her successful appeal. The law, Bill C-46, passed last December, is rightly the subject of Charter challenges and needs to be sent to the pile of bad ideas that should by now tower over Ottawa. The new law gives police the power to demand a breathalyzer test without any signs of impairment. The test can be ordered within two hours of a driver being on the road, even after they have come
home and consumed alcohol. This asinine law is the latest in the campaign against drunk driving, but instead of focusing on the real menace on our roads — drunk drivers — it targets anyone who has had a drink and driven. And there is a massive difference between driving drunk and driving after having a drink or two. A Traffic Injury Research Foundation report of July 2018 contains definitive statistics that show the overwhelming majority of fatal crashes involving alcohol involve drivers who are, quite frankly, blotto, with blood-alcohol limits well in excess of the .08 legal limit. Data from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation’s national fatality database includes policereported crash data combined with alcohol and drug test data collected from coroners and medical examiners in every jurisdiction in Canada. The report’s most recent exhaustive data, from 2014, showed that of drivers killed in fatal crashes in Canada, 83.2 per cent of them had a blood-alcohol concentration over .08, while 16.8 per cent registered a blood-alcohol concentration under .08 Moreover, database statistics show the average blood-alcohol concentration among fatally injured drinking drivers who were tested for alcohol has consistently been .17 over the past decade — or more than twice the legal limit. Yes, drunk driving should be targeted by law enforcement. But focusing on the after-work pint and wings crowd or having a law criminalize people for imbibing at home is simply wrong. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BASIC HOUSING IS A NECESSITY
LIKE FRANCE, WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER Editor: The three pages dedicated to coverage of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, published in the June 5 edition of KTW, were excellent. Some people are unaware that Canada participated in the liberation of Europe or that our soldiers even fought in the Second World War. Let us never forget. A small town in France didn’t forget. Our uncle was in a Lancaster bomber when he was shot down over the town on Aug. 5, 1944, while delivering supplies to resistance. The town of Plougoumelen still celebrates annually the deaths of the airmen from Canada, Britain, New Zealand and Australia who lost their lives helping France fight the Nazi occupation. The town is having a special celebration this August and have invited families of the airmen to attend. Plougoumelen officials have named six streets in town after each airman. It is amazing that, after all this time, they have not forgotten. Kathleen Bucher Kamloops
Editor: Re: Fred Bugden’s letter of June 12, in which he decries the idea of $10-aday day care, subsidized by taxpayers (‘I should not be forced to pay for your kids’): I don’t want to live in a world where only the wealthy can procreate, with the assumption we can all plan our lives. My partner and I waited until we were “financially stable” to have our kid. We had a plan. We moved to Kamloops for a better life and then, poof, life happened. After buying our first home, my partner’s job of 13 years disappeared. On to plan B. We were fortunate to recover, but others may not be so lucky. And nobody should be shut out of having a family because of an income bracket. Disability, illness, death of a loved one and finances can change
our lives on a whim. Believe it or not, we were all once kids. I grew up in a very different time. Families could survive on one income. They could afford homes And villages really did raise children. My parents had four kids and had to work multiple jobs and raise us with the help and support of families and neighbours. My grandparents crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with nothing but a little hope and two kids in tow. I’m grateful for their sacrifices and the support of their community. Most of all, I’m pretty darn grateful they had me, even though they couldn’t “afford” me. The same goes for letter writer Bugden. No matter what life he lived, I am grateful he exists and is in a position to choose a lifestyle that works for him, even
WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE LOOKING AFTER CANADA Editor: Re: Richard Lodmell’s letter of June 5, in which he casts doubt on human-caused climate change (‘Check your facts’): I invite the letter writer to look into more reliable sources such as realclimate.org, rather than the website of an anthropogenic climate change denier like Dr. Tim Ball. He is a retired geography professor, not an expert on climate change. I countered his claims many years ago in the Williams Lake
Tribune after he was invited by the Cariboo Regional District to speak on climate change. The letter writer should also check out climate scientist Dr. Katherine Hayhoe’s TED Talk, entitled The Most Important Thing You Can Do To Fight Climate Change: Talk About It. I found her presentation most inspiring. There also is an actual reading list attached to the TED Talk. Marten Lettinga Kamloops
[web-extra] Many more letters, columns and editorials can be found at kamloopsthisweek.com
TALK BACK Q&A: kamloopsthisweek.com We asked: Should the federal government approve the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline?
if it is drastically different from mine. We all benefit from paying taxes, regardless of whether it affects us directly. I enjoy knowing my community has my back in case plans A, B or C fall through. People are going to procreate. It’s what we humans tend to do. The more support families get, the healthier those kids become. Those healthy kids become healthy adults. It is no coincidence that the happiest countries on earth also have high taxes and support for families, including affordable child care. Not many people plan to be subsidized, but life sometimes has a plan of its own. James Lee Kamloops

PROPER LAWN CARE SAVE TIME, MONEY, AND WATER! Have a lawn you can feel good about! MOW HIGH - Leaving grass 5–7.5 cm (2–3”) tall, shades the roots and helps
prevent evaporation. This allows grass to grow deeper, stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grasses height. As mowing height decreases...
depth of rooting decreases...
and maintenance increases.
GRASSCYCLE - Leave grass clippings on the lawn while mowing. This eliminates bagging and raking and reduces watering and fertilizing. WATER EFFECTIVELY- Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1–2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1”) of water. Along with mowing high, this produces deeper, stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods.
Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn • Dethatching–Aerating–Topdressing–Overseeding–Fertilizing • Consider mixing White Clover in with your lawn to out-compete weeds as well as reduce water and fertilizer needs. • Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds; however, it does not control existing weeds.

Land title brass: office will remain JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Land Title Office will not close nor decrease staff when it moves from its current location in the courthouse to new office space downtown, BC Land Title and Survey Authority’s (LTSA) president and CEO has told the city. Connie Fair, in a letter to Mayor Ken Christian following a meeting on May 24, also stated plans to move were made to improve the work environment for staff. Council requested a meeting with Fair in light of news the LTSA planned to move documents from its Kamloops office to Victoria. Kamloops North and South Thompson MLAs brought attention to the issue and Coun. Mike O’Reilly took up the cause through council and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. O’Reilly concerns were with the dozen registry agents who rely on original documents for work, a lack of consultation with First Nations and previous renovations made to the local office that protect the documents. Then came word of the move, which LTSA appears to be saying is a nonissue. In her letter, Fair said $590,000 worth of renovations to the Kamloops office in 2012 and 2013 were made to downsize space and upgrade storage, with the primary driver being the reduction unnecessary space and cost savings. “In the six years since the change, the LTSA has more than recovered the renovation investment through savings in lease costs,” the letter states. “While the current facility in the Kamloops Land Title Office does include some features to protect documents, it was not purpose-built to protect documents and does not contain a laboratory with onsite conservators
to preserve documents.” Meanwhile, Fair said the Victoria location is “purpose-built, climate-controlled space with fire suppression technology and protection against potential water damage and includes a laboratory with onsite conservators.” The LTSA maintains most customers access hardcopy records via a so-called “scan on demand service,” which provides scanned copies of documents. A dozen registry agents access physical records in the Kamloops location, with $30,000 collected from them between March 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019. In the future, Fair said, the records can be accessed digitally. “Once the relocation of the historic records is complete, these same people will continue to have access to the records in digital format,” the letter states. Meanwhile, the LTSA is currently meeting with First Nations. Whispering Pines Clinton Indian Band Chief Michael LeBourdais had launched legal action to stop movement of the documents. Fair said in the letter that the LTSA will discuss with First Nations its program for preserving and digitizing historical records. “The long-term plan is to digitize all LTSA paper records and thus improve the accessibility of all historic records,” the letter states. LTSA GOES DIGITAL: • Average land title turnaround times: 37 days in 2003, 4 days in 2019; • Per cent of applications e-filed: 13 per cent in 2004, 94.5 per cent in 2019; • Per cent of applications autoexamined: zero per cent in 2011, 51 per cent in 2019; • Per cent of survey plans e-filed: zero per cent in 2007, 100 per cent in 2019; • Average processing time for applications to surveyor general: 32 days in 2005, 5.5 days in 2019.

No police warnings to go with posters Photos of a poster warning of a sex offender, put up in various locations in Kamloops, are circulating on social media, but Mounties have not issued any warnings. Only if a person is identified as a dangerous or high-risk offender would a public warning be issued, RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW.
That warning is issued in conjunction with BC Corrections if an individual being released into a community is believed to be of extreme likelihood to reoffend, Shelkie said. As for the posters, Shelkie said that would be a matter for civil court if they are considered libellous.
Night paving deserves a quiet night . . . GAS BREAK IN JUNIPER
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW
Mounties, firefighters and paramedics responded to a gas leak in an under-construction condo development in Juniper Ridge on Tuesday afternoon. Residents from a number of homes west of the roundabout at Highland Road and Qu’Apple Drive were evacuated for a short period of time. A FortisBC spokeperson said the gas line was ruptured during construction work and repaired shortly thereafter.
No need to boil in Logan Lake The boil water order in Logan Lake has ended. Residents of the town of 2,000, about 45 minutes southwest of Kamloops, had been under the order since June 1. As of Wednesday, June 12, the order has been rescinded. Town officials say residual chlorine will remain in the system over the next 2-3 weeks as a result of disinfection. The town’s water system was flagged by Interior Health for high bacteria levels stemming from maintenance activities. The high bacteria levels did not originate from groundwater, but were believed to be connected to somewhere in the distribution system.
On May 31, the district issued a public notice, telling residents the water distribution system would be undergoing temporary chlorination due to maintenance conducted during the previous month.
Dawson Construction paving crews will work at night this summer in an effort to reduce traffic disruption as they pave on- and off-ramps, cloverleaf exchanges and sections of the TransCanada Highway and Highway 5 through Kamloops. The work will get underway next week and is expected to be completed by the the end of August. Jason Shank, the project’s manager for Dawson Construction, said working at night makes sense, as it reduces disruptions for motorists and makes the work safer
and more efficient for his crews. “By working at night, our crews can focus on the task without the distractions caused by high traffic, congestion and impatient drivers,” he said. “We’re confident our plan will get the work done right with the least disruption possible through the busy summer season.” Crews will work Sundays to Fridays, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. In some cases, on-ramps and offramps will be closed as work is done, with traffic detoured to an adjacent exit of the highway.
The paving work will move in phases down the TransCanada Highway to the east, starting at the Copperhead Road exchange. Crews will repave the on- and off-ramps and sections of highway from Aberdeen to Valleyview, then move to Highway 5 from the Valleyview exchange to the CN junction. Some work will also be done on the Halston Bridge. The $9-million project is part of extensive highway rehabilitation approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways across B.C.

Landmark developer back to public hearing JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Another attempt is being made to rezone commercial units in the final phase of Landmark Heights on McGill Road. McGill Redevelopment Corporation, under Kelowna developer Mike Culos, has applied to rezone Landmark Place, located at 765 McGill Rd., to allow two commercial units — 102 and 103 — to be converted into residential space. Council has unanimously supported sending the rezoning to a public hearing, which will be held on June 25. Last year, the previous city council rejected a similar request, but for five units. Culos told KTW he hopes to put to bed concerns heard during last year’s public hearing. The lone business owner to buy in Landmark Place, Jonni and Darrel Yeomans of Jonni’s Styling Studio, had urged council to deny rezoning after purchasing unit 101. The couple told KTW at the time they invested their life savings into the business. They share an entrance with unit 102 and were concerned about being the only commercial property in the building and about lack of public access negatively impacting walk-in traffic. Reached by KTW on Wednesday, Yeomans
was surprised to hear the issue had resurfaced. She said Culos had been issued a stop-work order for pre-emptively converting the commercial units into residential suites. The city noted it issued a stop-work order on April 6, instructing the developer to submit building permit applications to finish the units as commercial. Culos stopped the work and is trying again to rezone. “It was a little premature,” Culos told KTW. Culos said that should the property be rezoned, the elevator in Landmark Place would be secured to open the lobby for Jonni’s during business hours. Others residents in the development attended the public hearing last year to complain about parking. Tied to this rezoning is a revised parking covenant intended to address deficiency next door at Landmark One and Landmark Two. While Culos tries to find a compromise, it is not the first time he has charged ahead without appropriate permits. The developer also came under fire for preemptively cutting down three trees on two plots of land on either side of the CN Station downtown, violating a bylaw protecting the city’s tree canopy. The tree-cutting — and erection of a fence to keep out the public — came after council denied vehicular access
into the CN Station plaza for townhouses Culos wanted to build on the two plots.
Culos defended that decision. “It’s not our style to be jumping the gun.”
He purchased the historic CN Station in a complex land swap deal with the city. He said he is

Rezoning of an improperly zoned apartment building on West Battle Street will go to a public hearing. Kamloops council will solicit public feedback after a paperwork error for the building dating back to the 1960s was recognized in light of impending renovations. The eight-unit apartment building, which is located at 23 West Battle St. in the West End, is zoned RS-1, single-family residential. The applicant, BDF Consulting Inc., is proposing to legalize the building by rezoning it to RM-2A, downtown multi-family medium density. Additionally, BDF Consulting wants to repurpose a space previously used for laundry as a bachelor unit, which would bring the number of units in the building to nine. The property is located just off First Avenue and is surrounded by houses. As part of the application, variances have been requested: reducing the minimum number of parking stalls required, to nine from 13, with a $24,000 payment to the city in lieu, and reduction of minimum front, side and backyard setbacks.

dition of the school, as well as the population projections,” Karpuk said. “And then we have to look at what is our best bet of actually getting funding for this.” About half of the schools in the district will require replacement within the next 20 years, according to the facilities report. The No. 1 priority identified in the facilities report — a $34-million expansion of Valleyview secondary, announced in April by Education Minister Rob Fleming — has already been checked off that list. The province, however, has not committed to any other immediate funding announcements for the Kamloops-Thompson school district. “They haven’t given us any indication, other than the fact they’d like to give us more money,” Karpuk said. “I’m sure they’ve made that indication in every single district they’ve been to.” The deadline for the school district to submit its priority list to the provincial government is June 30.

per a new Ministry of Education format. Those categories include new buildings, expansions and replacement schools, said board chair Kathleen Karpuk. She couldn’t, however, specify what the top priorities will be until the list is approved. SD73’s long-range facilities report identified a number of capital needs to address overcrowded schools and increasing enrolment that are likely to be on the list. An addition to Westmount elementary, new schools in Pineview Valley and Sun Peaks and an addition to South Kamloops secondary for a new gym and classes are among the top priorities identified in the report. “The ones that were previously identified as concerns are still concerns,” Karpuk said, noting the list will specify what category each need fits into and which will come first. Karpuk said she doesn’t believe the list identifies any replacement of schools as urgent priorities. “We go by the con-

A longtime member of the Kamloops Heritage Railway team is leaving his post. Events and experiences manager Jordan Popadynetz has announced his resignation, effective this Friday. The resignation was unexpected and the railway’s board is now reviewing its options moving forward. In the interim, Popadynetz’ duties will fall to assistant manager Sara Bonderud and administration manager Julie Clark, who will take over this season’s operations. Popadynetz was recently named the Tourism Attractions Leader of the Year in the Tourism Kamloops Bold Hospitality Awards. In his work with the railway, he was responsible for running events such as the Ghost Train, Spirit of Christmas, Trick or Treat Train, Harvest High Tea and the upcoming annual fireworks special on Canada Day. “Once again, there are no words to describe how grateful I am. A little boy’s dream came true. I ran the railway and loved every second of it,” Popadynetz wrote in a statement. “For now, my one-way ticket is in hand, the whistle is blowing and I’m steaming forward to my next career endeavour.”

A vehicle is transported acoss the North Thompson River via the venerable McLure ferry.
McLure ferry celebrates 100th year of service VESSEL AND CREW HAS TRANSPORTED LIVESTOCK AND HELPED FIGHT THE MASSIVE MCLURE WILDFIRE OF 2003 JILL HAYWARD
BARRIERE STAR-JOURNAL
news@starjournal.net
This year marks 100 years that a ferry at McLure has serviced the residents and travellers of the North Thompson Valley under the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The McLure ferry is a cable ferry on the North Thompson River, located about halfway between Kamloops and Barriere. It takes people and their vehicles
from one side of the river to the other, from Highway 5 on the east to Westsyde Road on the west, and vice versa. This ferry is a reaction ferry, meaning it is propelled by the current of the water. An overhead cable is suspended from towers anchored on either bank of the river, and a “traveller” is installed on the cable, with the ferry being attached to the traveller by a bridle cable. A one-man crew operates the ferry by using rudders to keep the ferry’s pontoons angled into
the current, thus causing the force of the current to move the ferry across the river. The ferry is free to its users and runs on demand daily between 7 a.m. and noon and between 1 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. It carries a maximum of two cars and 12 passengers per trip. The crossing is about 100 metres (330 feet) in length and takes five minutes, but the ferry cannot operate at times of high water or winter freeze-up. See FERRY, A17

Ferry has actually operated for 129 years From A16
The ferry was originally started in 1890 by farmers and ranchers in the area who needed a mode of transportation, not just for people, but for livestock and necessities. In 1909, the town of McLure was named after John McClure, an early rancher in the area. Although the railway came to the North Thompson in 1916, it was the McLure ferry that held the communities of the Lower North Thompson together. McLure resident Sherry Lidstone still has a T-shirt that she purchased at the McLure Cafe in 1991. The shirt celebrates 100 years of the McLure ferry as of 1990. The slogan printed on it states: “Friends Of The McLure Ferry 1890-1990.” “I did a little digging,” Lidstone said, noting she had been wondering about the date discrepancies between the T-shirt from 1990, which marked 100 years for the ferry, and 2019 being heralded as the 100th anniversary of the service. Lidstone said she learned the original McLure ferry was operated by local farmers on both sides of the North Thompson from 1890 to 1919, at which time the government assumed control of the service. “The Friends Of The McLure Ferry T-shirts were made to call attention to the fact that the ferry was going to be taken out of service forever at that
The ferry at McLure came into service in 1890 to keep lower North Thompson communities connected by transporting people, goods and livestock. The service was run by area farmers from 1890 to 1919, when the provincial government assumed control. The 100th anniversary of the ferry is being celebrated this year, based on the century the government has operated the vessel.
time,” Lidstone said. “I assume enough people spoke up and it was kept. If I remember correctly, the ferry was also in danger of closing until its value was proved over and over again during the McLure wildfire of 2003.” During the devastating fire that started on July 31, 2003, the flames ran all the way to Barriere. More than 3,000 residents were evacuated from the area, including the entire town of Barriere. The Yellowhead Highway (Highway 5) was closed, with the fire raging on both sides of the river. For many people, the only way out was via the ferry. It was also the only way in for firefighters and equipment to battle the blaze. In a 24-hour period at the height of the evacuations, some 125 trips across the North Thompson River were successfully completed by the McLure ferry and its crew. Without the service, it would have been impossible for those fleeing the fires to escape or for the firefighters to access the area. The Barriere and District Heritage Society is asking anyone who may have photographs of the ferry from times gone by, stories to share or keepsakes related to the ferry and its history to please contact the North Thompson Museum office by phone at 250672-5583 or on the Barriere History Facebook Page. The society is especially interested in information or photographs from the early years.

When Byron Link gave blood for the first time in 1965, he had no idea he would eventually go on to donate dozens more times. In fact, he wasn’t even sure he’d ever do it again after the first donation. “It was kind of a bad experience,” he told KTW. “But it was just all psychological.” Later, after Link joined the RCMP and, as a first responder, had the opportunity to see the value of blood donations, he began to again visit the clinics. “It just seemed like the right thing to do,” he said. But that desire to give increased rather dramatically in 1996. His wife became very sick and only survived because of blood donations. “If it wasn’t for blood services, I’d have been a widow,” Link said. “Well, that was a motivation.” Link has been honoured by Canadian Blood Services for 150

blood donations — though, in reality, he has given blood a few more times than that. “It’s 154 now,” he said. In addition to the help provided by the sheer number of times Link donated his blood, he was also providing Canadian Blood Services with a relatively rare blood type — AB RH negative. It is a blood type found in one of every 200 people. “It runs in the family. My grandmother had it. My dad had it, too,” Link said. “I know my grandmother
needed blood once. They couldn’t find anybody to give it to her, so my dad, he says he laid in bed beside her and they just made a live transfusion.” Alas, Link’s blood-donation days have ended. A recently diagnosed medical condition has Link on medication that prevents him from donating blood — but he is encouraging anybody who has considered giving blood to do so. Link points to some surprising statistics as a reason more people should donate. “Half the people are eligible to donate, but only one in 60 do,” he said. “Just give it a whirl. Like I said, the first time it’s something new, but once you’ve done it, there’s nothing to it.” The next blood-donor clinics will be held at Oasis Church, 1205 Rogers Way in Aberdeen, on June 17, June 18 and June 19.

Iain Currie will be acclaimed as the Green candidate in Kamloops Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo in the Oct. 21 federal election. Nominations closed this past Wednesday, with only the former Crown prosecutor and practicing civil lawyer filing papers. Currie will be officially acclaimed as the Green candidate at a June 26 nomination meeting, at a place and time to be determined.
“Several people had initially contacted me to express interest in running and ask about the process for seeking the nomination, but in the end, only Iain completed the entire application,” said Matthew Greenwood, two-time federal Green candidate and current president of the party’s riding association. “At least one potential candidate bowed out after he found out who he would be competing against,” Greenwood said. “We’re extremely proud to have someone of Iain’s stature in the community running under our banner.”

Currie said the acclamation process will allow his campaign to begin sooner. “I will definitely not be running a doom-andgloom campaign, but rather one that will remind people what it’s like to be able to vote for something again,” Currie said.

A: There are many varying thoughts and views on the meaning of “independence” and “home”. People are often lead to believe that when moving to a retirement community you are no longer home and that you will lose your independence. This actually couldn’t be further from the truth. We have all heard the saying “Home is Where Your Heart Is”. This could be the home you’ve lived in for 50+ years, it could be a new townhouse or condo that you have moved to or it could be a retirement community. Home truly is where your heart is and the great thing about this is you decide! If you feel living in a community of your peers is important, living in an environment designed for your physical comfort, living where you have a sense of purpose and opportunities to be involved and give back then maybe retirement community living is for you and maybe it is your next “home”!

The University of New Brunswick students were returned to safety by Ghana’s security forces Wednesday after a raid in the suburbs of Kumasi, the country’s second-largest city. Youth Challenge International, the non-profit group the women were volunteering with, has said Tilley and Chitty are receiving emotional and psychological support from professionals as they travel home. Joe van Vulpen, deputy warden of Cumberland County, says the two-word offer of support went up at the public health centre on Amherst’s main street where Bailey’s mother Christina Chitty works. He says it’s a phrase that sums up how “love and hope and prayers came to fruition.’’

AMHERST, N.S. Simple signs with a pair of blue hearts capture a small town’s sentiments over the rescue of two young Maritime women from kidnappers in Ghana. A sign on the main street of Amherst, N.S., declares, “Love wins,’’ and placards have appeared in windows saying “Love won.’’ Aaron Stubbert, the principal of Amherst Regional High School, said in an interview Thursday the message spread as the town celebrated the rescue of 20-year-old Bailey Chitty of Amherst, as well as 19-year-old Lauren Tilley of New Brunswick. “We’re happy and overjoyed and excited and glad it turned out the way it did,’’

The mother didn’t respond to requests for comment but her Facebook page expresses her gratitude. She wrote: “My chosen family whom I have the honour of working with everyday have been my quiet rock (along with many others).’’ She added: “Today we celebrate ‘Love Wins.’’’ The Ghanaian government has said five Ghanaians and three Nigerians are now in custody in connection with the incident and more arrests are possible. No ransom was discussed or paid in the case, and there’s no indication yet of any affiliation between the kidnappers and any religious or political group, a government spokesman has said. Both of the women are studying at the Renaissance College campus of the University of New Brunswick.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW FILE More than 700 jobs will be lost with the already-announced permanent closures of a Canfor sawmill in Vavenby (above), a Tolko sawmill in Quesnel, a reduction of one shift at a Tolko sawmill in Kelowna and the reduction of shifts at West Fraser sawmills in Fraser Lake and Quesnel.
Interior timber supply falling off GORDON HOEKSTRA
VANCOUVER SUN
editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
There are no immediate solutions to prevent more sawmills closures in the B.C. Interior as the amount of timber available for logging has been significantly reduced by the mountain pine beetle epidemic. Both the B.C. government and industry agreed on that point as a sixth woodmanufacturing facility announced a mill or shift closure in the past seven months. Norbord Inc., which operates an oriented strand board mill in 100 Mile House, cited the reasons for its closure as the beetle epidemic and, more recently, the increased number of wildfires that have led to wood-supply shortages and high prices. The timber-supply problem has been exacerbated by lumber prices that are falling in B.C.’s main market, the United States. “I think we are dealing with the reality of the timber supply coming home to roost. It’s not something that wasn’t known,” B.C. Forests Minister Doug Donaldson said. The B.C. government wants to focus on helping communities and workers after the closures and to find ways over the longer term to get more value out of the timber supply. The mayor of 100 Mile House, Mitch Campsall, and others are lobbying to
have Crown timber harvesting fees — called stumpage — reduced to make B.C. mills more competitive. But giving forest companies an artificial break on stumpage to prevent sawmill closures is a non-starter as prices are set based on market forces, Donaldson said. And fiddling with stumpage would also be a “dangerous game” in the middle of the latest softwood lumber dispute with the United States, he said. B.C. lumber producers currently must pay a 20 per cent tariff on shipments across the border. Donaldson said the focus needs to be on maximizing the value of timber, not the volume, and finding a way to give smaller wood-manufacturing facilities access to wood fibre. The government can also help in the interim by investing in Interior communities, including projects such as a rebuild of a hospital in Williams Lake, said Donaldson. Showcasing wood in public buildings, as will be done in the new St. Paul’s Hospital project in Vancouver, can also help, he said. More than 700 jobs will be lost with the already-announced permanent closures of a Canfor sawmill in Vavenby, a Tolko sawmill in Quesnel, a reduction of one shift at a Tolko sawmill in Kelowna and the reduction of shifts at West Fraser sawmills in Fraser Lake and Quesnel. The companies have all cited the loss
of timber supply from the beetle epidemic in the closures. The B.C. Council of Forest Industries president, Susan Yurkovich, said the issue is clear: the timber supply is declining and there is not enough to feed mills. Yurkovich said what is needed is for industry, government, First Nations, communities and workers to work collectively through the transition period. “But going forward, when rebalancing milling capacity with a sustainable timber supply, we have to ensure conditions that allow us to be competitive globally,” she said. Forest industry analysts have forecast that another 12 sawmills will be closed in the next decade to cope with the shrinking timber supply, with a loss of between 2,000 and 2,500 mill jobs. According to government data, the B.C. Interior timber supply is forecast to drop as much as 40 per cent in the B.C. Interior to 40-million cubic metres from its peak during the beetle epidemic when harvesting was increased to salvage dead trees before they were no longer economically viable. According to B.C. government data, the Interior timber supply is forecast to stay at 40-million cubic metres from 2025 to 2070, when it will begin to increase. At its peak in 2005, the beetle killed 140-million cubic metres of pine timber. — Vancouver Sun

Reductions may not be enough
14 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum AWD
The latest reductions in B.C. sawmill output may be enough to stop the slide of lumber prices after they hit record highs last year. Canfor’s provincewide sawmill shutdowns were announced this week as North American prices for sprucepine-fir two-by-fours and twoby-sixes slipped below $300 per 1,000 board feet, according to the latest figures from Madison’s Lumber Reporter. A year ago, the two-by-four price was above $650 and the downward trend has continued since the beginning of 2019. Canfor’s curtailments take effect next week, with a target of reducing B.C. lumber production by 200-million board
$
feet. Sawmills at Houston and Vanderhoof are shutting down for four weeks, with two-week breaks mills in Prince George, Chetwynd, Fort St. John, Radium Hot Springs and Elko. The only Canfor mill in B.C. to continue production is Wynnwood in the Creston Valley, which produces highgrade specialty boards used in furniture, siding, fascia, doors and windows and other fine woodwork. Tolko Industries announced in May it will permanently shut down its Quest Wood sawmill in Quesnel, and Canfor followed suit last week with the pending closure of its Vavenby sawmill near Clearwater. That mill is set to be shut down in July, affecting
178 jobs. Interfor is reducing operating days at three B.C. Interior mills, at Castlegar, Grand Forks and Adams Lake. Interfor has agreed to pay $60 million for Canfor’s timber rights to Vavenby, to supply logs to its 100-year-old Adams Lake sawmill, but that sale must get ministry approval under the NDP government’s new legislation and is facing opposition from the local Simpcw First Nation. B.C. Liberal forests critic John Rustad said there have been 83 weeks of operational downtime at B.C. mills so far in 2019, as well as the two permanent closures. On top of that, Norbord announced this week it is shutting down its
oriented strandboard plant in 100 Mile House in August, due to log supply problems after wildfires and the depletion of mountain pine beetle-killed timber in the B.C. Interior. “There are possible solutions that government could employ to increase supply to OSB operations like Norbord and make B.C. more competitive by bringing down the highest production costs in North America,” Rustad said. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett called on the province to help the people losing their jobs. The Vavenby mill employs more than 170 people, and Norbord’s mill in 100 Mile House employs 160. — Black Press

Dream Home How Does a Gifted Down Payment Work?
Saving for a down payment large enough to secure your dream as a homeowner can often be challenging. Thankfully, there are many forms of down payments available to help you get into a home quicker. Gifted down payments are one popular option used to help people build their own equity through homeownership now, as opposed to continuing to pay rent so someone else profits. This type of down payment works well for those who have qualified for a
mortgage – based on such things as favourable income, credit and debt ratios – but they need an added boost to come up with the required down payment amount. The gifted amount can be used for a portion or even the full down payment amount. A gifted down payment is also sometimes used to reach the 20% down payment threshold for a conventional mortgage, which means the borrower isn’t required to secure mortgage default
insurance and pay premiums. Lenders have stringent guidelines in place for gifted down payments. The gift must come from an immediate family member – eg, parents, grandparents and siblings – and it must solely be given as a gift that’s never expected to be paid back. A gift letter is most often used to verify the funds aren’t part of a loan. Confirmation proving that the funds have been deposited into the buyer’s account is also required.

Trump, tariffs and war
T
he best way to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, especially if you are a foreign government negotiating trade issues, is to give him a little win. It doesn’t have to be big and important. He’s mainly interested in declaring a triumph and he will supply the hot air to inflate your little concession into an allegedly major defeat, free of charge. Just remember to look crestfallen and you’re home and dry. Thus, for example, Trump’s recent “triumph” over Mexico. He threatens escalating tariffs against Mexico, the Mexicans cave in after 10 days and the border problem is solved (until the next time he needs it). Only the nerds notice the Mexican “concessions” are almost all actions Mexico had already promised to take in quiet, orderly discussions with the United States between December and March. The Canadians did even better when renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump called it the “the worst deal ever signed,” but several clauses in the old treaty that Ottawa disliked were dropped. The only Canadian concession was to give U.S. dairy producers access to 10 per cent of the Canadian milk market (that’s just three-million people) – if the Americans can persuade those Canadians to buy their bovine growth hormone-treated milk. A very small price to pay, but nobody in Canada was so foolish as to crow out loud that they had seen the Americans off. The Canadian negotiators looked suitably hangdog and defeated and Trump claimed the credit follow us for a “great deal” and a “historic transaction.” Game, set and match to Ottawa. And so to the grand drama of Trump’s tariff war with China. This one ought to be a follow us
GWYNNE DYER
World
WATCH no-brainer because China is in an extremely vulnerable position. Its exports to America are worth almost three times as much as U.S. exports to China, so it really cannot afford to lose the American market. Chinese President Xi Jinping should just give Trump enough to make him happy — he’s easily pleased — and move on to the next problem. To the extent that Trump calculates his moves beforehand, this would have been his calculation and it is logically correct. But it didn’t work out that way. After a year of escalation and counter-escalation, the two countries are nearing the point where they will have imposed 25 per cent tariffs on all of each other’s exports. What went wrong? Trump issued his usual threats and was the first to escalate at every step of the dance, but if the Mexicans and the Canadians can work around his histrionics, why can’t the Chinese? Maybe it’s just pride — Xi simply can’t abide the vision of Trump capering with joy as he celebrates his victory over the Chinese. Or maybe it’s fear — letting Trump have a victory (and a real one, this time) would so humiliate Xi in the eyes of his own colleagues and rivals that his own position would be in danger. It’s probably the latter.
The negotiations seemed to be going well, with Trump predicting an “epic” deal and praising his dear friend Xi. Then, suddenly in early May, the White House complained that China was trying to re-negotiate points previously agreed and the whole thing fell apart. It feels like Xi lost an argument at home, which would imply that he is considerably less secure in power than everybody assumed. In either case, Xi is making a big mistake. The Chinese economy is not doing well. Factory output is declining and new car sales fell last year for the first time since 1990. China’s total debt, even on untrustworthy official figures, is nearing three times annual GDP, which is the level where panic usually sets in. In fact, it’s the level at which Japan’s three-decade economic depression began in 1991. Strip out all the unproductive investment and creative accountancy and Chinese GDP grew last year by less than two per cent. Employment is stagnant, retail sales are falling and the stock market dropped by a quarter last year. This is not an economy in good shape to withstand a prolonged trade war. The great fear of the Chinese Communist Party is that people will turn against the regime if the economy stalls and living standards stop rising. They certainly don’t love the regime. Why else would they obey it? This theory may be tested to destruction in the next few years. So, if Xi is not free to do a trade deal with the U.S. and the Chinese economy tanks, what must he do to save communist rule and his own power? He will need a foreign war, or at least the threat of one, in order to get nationalism on his side. Not war with the United States, of course. That would be crazy. But Taiwan would do nicely. And this is one that you really can’t blame on Trump.

TRU wins national education award RECOGNIZED FOR INDIGENOUS STUDENT RESEARCH MENTORING Thompson Rivers University has won the 2019 Alan Blizzard Award from the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education for its unique, collaborative Knowledge Makers program. Knowledge Makers is about growing the number of Indigenous researchers, beginning at undergraduate level. A network of 42 members, plus supporters at TRU, have taken steps to significantly expand Indigenous student research. The network includes four Indigenous elders, the executive director of the Office of Indigenous Education, all nine TRU deans and leadership from Open Learning, the TRU Library and TRU World. The initiative is led by Dr. Sereana Naepi (associate director of All My Relations Research Network) and professor Airini (dean of the Faculty of Education and Social Work). Indigenous students are selected to become Knowledge Makers to deepen understanding of Indigenous research, prepare multi-year research plans, learn to conduct research and publish research. A multi-modal approach has been developed that transforms university teaching and learning. Since the program’s inception in 2015, more than 65 Indigenous stu-
dents from at least 30 nations and bands have completed the fourthmonth program and published their first reviewed journal articles. Many of the students have gone on to other research successes and the Knowledge Makers network now includes mentoring circles at undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. There is also a Knowledge Makers International Circle that spans five countries: Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. “Knowledge Makers is about the students first and the potential within Indigenous researchers,” Airini said. “We approached the award process humbly, but intentionally. We believe in the need for Indigenous-led research. The Knowledge Makers team has been recognized for this award — Canada’s only team-teaching excellence award — which is granted once every two years. “It is our hope that colleagues across Canada may be encouraged to also develop programs in support of
Indigenous research and researcher advancement. “We look forward to sharing with them and continuing to walk this journey together.” The Knowledge Makers was chosen from the highest number of applications ever for the Alan Blizzard Award. The Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education recognized the Knowledge Makers at a ceremony in Winnipeg on Thursday. The award highlights excellence in collaborative teaching and learning in post-secondary education. The award was established in 2000 to encourage, identify and publicly recognize those whose exemplary collaboration in teaching enhances student learning. The award honours Dr. Alan Blizzard, president of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from 1987 to 1995, and his convictions about the effectiveness of collaboration in team teaching for student learning. The award seeks to make visible and disseminate scholarship of teaching and learning, based on the values and practices of collaborative teaching.

Professor a ‘culture changer’ Donald Lawrence, a professor of visual arts at Thompson Rivers University, has received the Arts and Humanities Faculty Mentor Award from the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR). The CUR is an internationally recognized body representing more than 700 institutions and 13,000 individuals and supports faculty development for high-quality undergraduate research. The awards are designed to nurture undergraduate research, scholarship and creative inquiry in arts and humanities disciplines. Lawrence has been mentoring students for nearly 28 years. In 2017, he received TRU’s Undergraduate Research Mentorship Award. To date, he has mentored 64 visual-arts students. Lawrence began his career at TRU in 1989. His work has been exhibited in more than 20 solo exhibitions and he has contributed to important international group exhibitions. He has participated in numerous artist residencies, produced multiple refereed publications and is in demand as a speaker and workshop leader. In 2018, the City of Kamloops named Lawrence the Artist of the Year. “Anything I give to my students, I get back equally or more from them,” Lawrence said. “Seeing their own accomplishments gives me such pleasure and they routinely make me think differently about my own teaching and artistic practice. “When I work with my students, I’m creating a longer term network that crosses back and forth, between faculty and students, and then alumni; as faculty, we’re building up a community of artists.”

COMMUNITY
The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is hosting an education session this Friday in Kamloops. The session, entitled What Can We Learn About Multiple Sclerosis From Routinely Collected Health Information? will be presented by Dr. Elaine Kingwell. The session will be held at 5 p.m. at the Sandman Signature Hotel, 225 Lorne St. downtown. Kingwell is a research associate and epidemiologist in the Department of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests include the epidemiology of multiple sclerosis, co-morbidities, the natural course and disease progression in MS, risk factors for MS and the longterm influence of disease-modifying therapies, with an emphasis on utilizing health administrative and clinical databases for research on MS related questions. The free session is open to people affected by MS and health professionals to learn about the latest MS research and symptom-management developments. For more information or to register, call 1-800-268-7582, extension 7259, or email at marcia.spanier@mssociety.ca. FREE FAMILY FISHING Family Fishing Weekend returns this Father’s Day weekend, with two events in the Kamloops area — Knouff Lake Resort on Saturday and Sunday and Walloper Lake on Sunday. The events run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year is the 20th anniversary of the Family Fishing Weekend, a free event with hands-on instruction available. Loaner rods, reels and tackle are provided for those who do not have their own gear. The events also offer opportunities to learn about fishing gear, share freshwater and saltwater fishing tips and learn about environmental stewardship and the tradition of recreational fishing. Fishing licence requirements are waived for the weekend, meaning Canadian residents can fish licencefree over the three days, although some requirements remain in effect. “We are excited to see the growth of these events and how they have evolved into a fundamental family tradition in many communities,” said Cam Aronetz, Family Fishing Society president. “We would love to see fishing with dad on Father’s Day become the equivalent of Mother’s Day brunch with mom.” SPECIAL TORCH RUN The Law Enforcement Torch Run, in support of Special Olympics BC, will take place this Saturday at 10 a.m. on McArthur Island. Members of the public can join Kamloops Mounties and Special Olympics athletes as they run and walk in the Kamloops Torch Run.

Help police catch these vehicle thieves
A lost key chain led to a Kamloops resident having two vehicles stolen within hours of each other — and Mounties are hoping the attached photos will lead to the arrest of the suspects. On May 30, a resident lost their vehicle key chain as they were entering a business in the Mount Paul Industrial Park. Surveillance video shows a man and woman getting into the resident’s vehicle and driving away. During the middle of that same night, the resident was victimized a second time when a vehicle was stolen from outside of their home. Police believe the suspects from the first vehicle theft used the insurance papers from the stolen vehicle to find the resident’s address. They went there and, using the keys from the lost key chain, stole a second vehicle The first stolen vehicle was recovered in Kamloops on June 7, while the second stolen vehicle remained missing as of June 13. The male suspect was wearing a black ball cap with white lettering on the front, a black T-shirt with white lettering on the front and dark-coloured pants. The female suspect has tattoos on her right arm and long, dark hair. She was wearing a black tank top, black pants and had a sweater tied around her waist. She was also carrying a large purse or bag. If you know the names of this couple, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
www.kamloopsCrimeStoppers.ca If you know where any of these people are, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Suited Up for Prom 2019 Digital Content Creator, Sultan Sandur, of travel and lifestyle platform JustSultan.com, along with McAllister & Howard and Black & Lee are thrilled to have collaborated on the first annual ‘Suited Up’ Initiative. The initiative is aimed at alleviating the financial pressures of prom for graduates who are facing adversity. Two deserving students received a full ‘head to toe’ prom package, which included a tuxedo rental from McAllister & Howard and Black & Lee, along with grooming services, skincare products, and accessories to make their milestone stylish and memorable. As ‘Suited Up’ scales up for next year, please contact Sultan at info@justsultan.com to get involved as a partner!
Testimonials “Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the opportunity given to my son this grad season. Not to mention the relief I felt having some of the high ticket items of grad being taken care of. Life has not always been kind to myself and my family. Through a rough divorce and several losses, my son has always coped with the hardships given to us with such strength. He has remained a grounded and caring person that continues to come out even stronger and more compassionate than ever. I couldn’t think of a more deserving young man to be pampered to celebrate his big accomplishment. We are ever so thankful and will always remember the kindness of the Suited Up initiative. We are very grateful for all the support given to us by the community and especially Sultan, for giving my son such a wonderful opportunity and memorable gifts that will last a lifetime.” “It was such a blessing receive the Suited Up Bursary. It relieved so much stress and it's been fun to get ready for grad and prom with the help of Sultan.”

FAITH
TRU grad returns from missionary work in Kenya
F
ollowing his graduation with a bachelor of social work degree from Thompson Rivers University in 2017, Geordie Milne worked to save up enough money to undertake a short-term missionary stint in Kenya. He spent one year — from February 2018 to February 2019 — based at Kisumu, Kenya’s third-largest city on the shore of Lake Victoria and the capital of Nyanza Province. Prior to his 12-month assignment, Milne had previously twice made shorter trips to the country. The East African nation has gone through a lot in recent years, not the least of which being the threat of a civil war. President Uhuru Kenyatta has been at the helm for six years and is trying again to stabilize the country amid political, social and economic discontent. Kenya’s High Court has refused to strike down laws that criminalize homosexual acts in a country that remains conservative. Working with the Indigenous Sea of Life Ministries, Milne accumulated a storehouse of friends and experiences. “My personality and background were good fits, my ability to adapt there and my love for God helped me to stick around,” he said. “The work focus was on
NARYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH youth, but I ministered to seniors and children as well. The youth centre was open all week. We played board games, with young people joining us from homes. They could feel they belonged here. And through the friendship made at centre, we would invite them to Bible studies.” Milne said they would discuss topics such as what their stresses and needs were for the past week. He said he and others helped meet the needs of locals, sometimes even meeting financial ones, paying for their schooling at times. “Their visiting the centre paved the way to visit them in their homes, as well, and meeting their families,” Milne said. “Some local church leaders used to go with me, speak to them in their languages, although some of the kids knew some English.” Milne noted his hosts had dif-
ferent ways of doing things. “Even entering their homes required observing some etiquettes, like never refusing what hospitality they offered, such as drinking hot tea at 40 degrees Celsius,” he said. Milne was meticulous about praying for them before leaving their homes. He tried to remember that he was there to adapt to them and their ways, not vice versa. That included eating supper at 10 p.m. Even though he was a sevenhour drive from the capital of Nairobi, Milne observed quite a bit of Western influence. In practical terms, it meant reaching a different culture within a culture with the gospel. Kisumu has two hospitals and a Christian hospital. Once, when he fell sick, Milne went to a private hospital, where he received quality care. “I observed a lot of churches preaching the gospel of prosperity, which, with its emphasis on wealth and health uplift as rewards of following the Lord Jesus, often obscures the true value of the Christian gospel, which salvation in him alone,” Milne said. Milne now can speak a bit of Swahili. With his sights set on returning to Kenya, he is learning the language online. Meanwhile, he is content to earn and save money with a job in social work field, determined to
QUEBEC LOOKS TO SPEED UP PROCESS TO ADOPT SECULARISM BILL BY SUMMER BREAK Quebec Premier Francois Legault said his government is showing good faith by specifying what kinds of religious symbols it plans to ban for many publicsector workers. The government tabled an amendment to its secularism bill late Tuesday in hopes of assuaging the opposition and ensuring adoption of the proposed law before the legislature’s scheduled summer break. Quebec’s Bill 21 would prohibit public servants in positions of authority — including teachers, police officers, Crown prosecutors and prison guards — from wearing religious symbols on the
job. The original draft of the bill didn’t define religious symbols. The amendment states symbols, jewelry, ornaments, accessories or headgear that are worn with a religious conviction or belief will be banned for those in positions of authority. The objects will also be banned if it can be reasonably inferred they
are worn in relation to a religious affiliation. Legault accused the Opposition Liberals of slowing down the legislative process to protest the bill. The premier said the amendment is a response to Liberal criticism that the legislation was unclear about what symbols would be banned. Legault’s government is running out of time to pass Bill 21 before the legislature is scheduled to break for the summer on Friday. The government could extend the session or invoke closure to force the adoption of the bill. — Canadian Press

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor: Re: Chris Kempling’s Faith column of May 17 (‘Heresy or modernization?’): Kempling’s condemnation of Pope Francis is unfounded. For the truth about Kempling’s column regard-
ing Pope Francis and former American Cardinal McCarrick, go to the Vatican News website at vaticannews.va. On Jan. 11, the Vatican imposed on McCarrick the penalty of dismissal from the clerical state.
That means he is no longer recognized by the Catholic Church as a priest. Kempling’s other comments of Pope Francis being a heretic are irresponsible. Theresa Lidster Kamloops

Climb aboard buses and boats in Copenhagen JANE CASSIE
SPECIAL TO KTW
travelwriterstales.com
“
Watch out,” my husband shouts, just before I step off the curb into oncoming traffic. “You always have to look both ways and yield.” Anywhere in North America, you might think he was referring to motorists. But here, in Copenhagen, it’s all about the cyclists. They’re everywhere and they have the right of way. The morning commute is more like a professional’s pedal parade: women dressed in long skirts, men in suits, kids tucked into attached carts. And while getting where they want to go, they all exude that effortless, Scandi-cool style. Although we opt out of twowheeling this trip, the Hop On, Hop Off boat and bus tours provide us with the perfect perspective to take in the attractions from both land and water. Pretty much every major epicentre on the global tourist trail hosts this sightseeing option and we’ve always found it’s been a great way to get a quick overview. So, with map in hand and ear buds plugged in, we unite with other sun-lovers on the top open floor of the double-decker. The Mermaid tour is the most popular of the three routes. Our coach breezes by Tivoli Gardens — the second-oldest operating amusement park in the world. We pass by the National Museum, where exhibits explore history of the Stone, Viking, Middle Ages and Modern Danish culture. Our coach pulls to the roadside, where we view the Little Mermaid sculpture, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. Since August 1913, she’s been

sitting, immortalized in bronze, staring longingly toward the shore in hopes of seeing her prince. We hop off at Christiansborg Palace, where the Danish prime minister’s office resides today. Nearby narrow streets wind throughout the city’s hub. Many are linked to courtyards boasting statues, historical monuments and talented street performers. Stroget, one of Europe’s longest pedestrian pathways, offers a slew of shops. Nearby is Studiestræde, once the city’s Old Latin Quarter, now home to a string of thrift stores and coffee hangouts. Strædet tempts us with its
many eateries, gift shops and retail outlets. Although I can’t pronounce a single name correctly, each block is unique and ablaze with colour. But Nyhavn takes the prize for its pretty palette. Once a hangout for sailors, it’s now one of the trendiest areas of the city. Sidewalk cafes spill out from the crayon-coloured buildings that line up along this bustling canal. Several days later, after visiting with our son and daughterin-law, we return to check out the sites from the water. Some guests claim seats under cover, others head to the rear of the longboat, where roving views
can be clearly photographed. While we cruise, we schmooze. “Amalienborg Palace is the winter home of the Danish Royal Family,” our river guide says. “You may see Danish princes and princesses driving in and out as we motor on by.” With eagle eyes, we pan the entrance gates of the palatial homestead.

New KSO exec works where music and business mix Daniel Mills, 30, knows he has big shoes to fill after departure of Kathy Humphreys JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
amloops Symphony Orchestra introduced its new executive director at St. Andrews on the Square on Monday. Daniel Mills, a 30-year-old from Calgary with a background in business and music, will fill the shoes of outgoing executive director Kathy Humphreys, who will retire at the end of the month after almost three decades at the helm. Fourteen people were interviewed and Mills was chosen not only for his experience, but also for his chemistry with music director Dina Gilbert and his understanding of the role. “His background, but also he and our music director — we feel it’s a perfect match,” Kamloops Symphony Society president Miki Andrejevic said. “They’re almost the same age, younger people. They have the same philosophies. Also, I’ve been in this business 35 years and when Daniel told me that, actually, executive director makes things happen and music director is somebody who is on stage — he understands the role. It’s not who is going to be in the public, it is actually working together — executive director makes things happen and music director is the dream.” Mills worked in fundraising for the Calgary Arts Centre prior to working in operations
for the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and in marketing and the box office for Honens Piano Competition. Mills is also a freelance classical trumpet player, having performed with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Red Deer Symphony and the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. He first started playing trumpet at age 10 and called it a part of his life. Mills recently graduated with a master’s of business administration and said the job opening brought him to Kamloops. Mills wasn’t the only applicant from outside of the province. Andrejevic told KTW applications were received from people in the United States and Vietnam. “I thought it was the exact right moment for me to jump into this sort of role and, thankfully, I put my name forward and I was chosen,” Mills said, adding he is looking forward to getting to know the area and is excited about the climate. As an amateur triathlete and runner, he said he is going to look at ways in which the active outdoors and arts can be “melded together.” Asked about specific plans coming into the role, he said he and the KSO are “very excited” about the possibility of a performing-arts centre. Coming from Calgary and growing up in the city that boasts the Arts Commons — one of the largest performing-arts venues in the country — Mills said he understands the importance
TNRD TO SPEND $100K ON PHOTOS Regional/A33
of such a venue. Getting it built in Calgary, he said, included a community-driven society. Kamloops city council will hear about a similar idea this Tuesday with respect to the proposed performing-arts centre downtown. Asked of the significance of such a facility in Calgary, Mills said: “What it really does is have a consolidated location for all the arts. Even people not from the city, they come and go, ‘Oh, there is a dedicated space for the arts and it’s a geographic place.’ The trick is making sure the place is accessible for everyone, not just considered for the elite.” Mills said having that dedicated space allows for cross-promotion of different kinds of arts and options for community events. Mills understands he has big shoes to fill. Andrejevic said after 29 years, Humphreys will be missed. “The fact is, she has been very instrumental for a long time in what has been accomplished thus far,” he said. “She is the one who brought the orchestra to this stage. Right now, she is retiring and it is time for somebody new to take over. But it is always exciting and I think a challenging time, as well. We are really hoping for a smooth transition.” Humphreys will help ease that transition, working with Mills over the next few weeks before she officially retires. Humphreys had no role in the hiring process and said she first met Mill about 10 minutes

prior to Monday’s announcement. “It’s bittersweet, obviously,” Humphreys said. “I’m excited to see a new executive director who has got some music, quite a bit of background in music, for sure, and is ready to take it on and is enthusiastic and has a tonne of energy.

Regional district will spend $100,000 updating photos DARA HILL
MERRITT HERALD
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District film commissioner hopes updating the region’s photo library will bolster more business in the region. Victoria Weller said a $100,000 grant from the provincial government should help her do just that. The funds will help Weller and her colleagues create a digital archive of high-quality images showcasing all aspects of the region in an effort to attract more filmmak-
ers, tourism and economic development to the TNRD. “From a film perspective, we really, really want to start making our library more robust and comprehensive for stakeholders to draw from,” she said. While TNRD staff and contractors have taken thousands of photos over the years, recent technology and ever-changing scenery mean updates are in order. “The landscape has changed so much. Especially when you have a fire or a washout or something,” Weller said.
“Look at the difference after a fire — every year the ground changes. It is so pretty, there is new foliage and wild flowers and bushes and grasses. And the Ministry of Transportation is improving so many roads with these state-of-the-art bridges, which changes the look of the roads — that matters to car commercials. It is another tool for me to market the region to filmmakers to see what they can find for locations.” Weller said the photo updates will likely bolster tourism, as well. “So when people think, ‘Oh, should we go through Cache Creek?
They did have a flood’ — well, that was two years ago and look what the ministry has done since,” she said. Weller added the TNRD will be hiring professionals to take photos, noting she is shooting for top-notch quality. “We’re not open to having people email us a bunch of their photos because everybody has a camera in their phones these days,” she said. “We’ll employ professional photographers, tell them what we want and how we want it, do some signature events and go places that nobody really goes to.”
Effects of the loudness war still echoing
A
s recording mediums have evolved, so have the techniques to record on them. Back in the 1940s, with the 45-RPM single, record companies had to find ways to make an individual song stand out. With jukeboxes and radio stations using a constant volume, some records were recorded louder, making them “jump out” more to listeners. This was the first salvo in the loudness war. The problem with making music louder is that there’s a limit to how loud you can make it. The louder a piece of music is recorded, the less room there is for you, as a listener, to increase the volume yourself before the music becomes distorted. When vinyl was the medium of choice, there was little wiggle room to play with the loudness of a recording. When the CD came along, it raised the ceiling for how loud a recording could be. A CD was a digital music file,
STEVE MARLOW
RADIO EDIT
a flawless recording that had no hissing, static or distortion that could be manipulated in a number of ways that vinyl couldn’t. The first CD recordings were recorded in much the same way as vinyl recordings. They were recorded low to allow the listener to increase the volume at home as they wanted to. But, with the realization that
there was more room to increase the initial recording’s volume without distortion, CDs became louder and louder over the years. In the early 2000s, computerbased techniques has pushed CD volumes so loud that they were clipping digitally, meaning the loudest parts couldn’t be heard, making the music sound distorted. Compression and digital manipulation in mastering music has become commonplace, and finding a CD recording that hasn’t been digitally manipulated to increase its volume is rare, especially in rock and pop. One of the reasons why vinyl has become more popular lately is because of the loudness war. Most vinyl is mastered at a lower level than CDs, meaning you can raise the volume louder at home more than a standard CD without encountering distortion or clipping, resulting in a cleaner sound, despite being on a
“dirtier” and more noise-plagued recording medium. In 2010, a pushback on modern recordings began with Dynamic Range Day, a movement encouraging using the CD medium to its intended use, for lower volumes to use the superior dynamic range of volume on digital recordings. Since then, volume of recordings in rock and pop music has dropped, but lack of dynamic range in popular music still plagues modern recordings. While record companies need to do everything they can to get their music noticed, unless lowering the volume of music becomes an industry accepted standard, we’re bound to see volume to still be used as a tactic in promotion.

Asked how an injection of youth will impact KSO, Mills said it will be a challenge balancing institutional knowledge with new ideas. “I think Dina has already experienced that,” he said. “Her and I talking, I think we have a lot of the same ideas in terms of some directions we can go. Hopefully, I can support her on the administrative side to make those happen. It is very exciting, I did my first degree in Montreal. Though I had never met her before, we have a lot of the same friends from the Montreal music community. I think we’re on the same wavelength.” Humphreys, meanwhile, won’t be going far. In addition to a seat in the KSO audience, she plans to stay in Kamloops and will volunteer within the arts community. Asked if she will be involved in the performing-arts centre society, she said “maybe” in a very high pitch. She has been a vocal supporter in the past. “I’m going to be involved in some volunteer capacity, some other things,” she said. “So that’s exciting for me. I’m really looking forward to that and to be able to do it justice. Because, when you’re working full time and fully immersed in an arts organization, you don’t have a lot of spare time. “So you get extra projects to work on, but you’re trying desperately to balance all the things that need to get done. I’m going to be able to focus on another project in my retirement, so that’s good.”
Sunrise Records to shine on music lovers in Aberdeen Mall Music shoppers in Kamloops will soon have more CDs and records to flip through. Sunrise Records will move into space in Aberdeen Mall this fall. An opening date has not been announced. The store sells music on CD and vinyl, as well as movies, TV, apparel, games, electronics and gifts. It has locations in nine provinces across Canada and nine stores in B.C. The chain was founded in Toronto in 1977 and marked a major expansion in 2017 with the purchase of HMV Canada’s
assets after that company went belly-up, purchasing 70 of the former store’s locations. That expansion went a step further in February of this year, when the chain bought out HMV altogether, including 100 stores across the UK. The expansion has been the work of Doug Putman, who purchased the chain from Malcolm Perlman in 2014, when it had just five stores. The chain now includes 85 locations, most of them

Congratulations to
EMILIO DEROSE
for being chosen as KTW’s Hero Dad of 2019. Thanks to the testimonials of his kids, Emilio wins four tickets to a B.C. Lions game this year.
And KTW thanks all the family members who told us why the fathers in their lives are heroes to them. We are pleased to present a sample of responses from our readers.
Our dad, Emilio DeRose, is our hero. He is the most selfless person we have ever met. He is always going above and beyond to help anyone, any time, with whatever they need. Our dad is a single parent, which means he is very busy with three kids on his hands and a full-time job. Regardless of how busy he is, he is always volunteering to help with our sports and in our community on a regular basis. He works tirelessly and puts so much time and effort into making sure we have everything we need and keeping us happy and healthy. Not only is he thoughtful and kind, but he is one of the funniest people we know. Our dad is always making everyone smile and laugh wherever he goes. Our dad is not only a
great dad, but he is a great friend. He is so understanding and approachable and it’s easy to talk to him about anything. He gives us a true voice and makes us feel listened to and cared about regardless of the nature of our situation. We are very fortunate to have such an amazing dad. He truly is one of a kind. - Isaac, Ella and Olive DeRose My submission is not for my dad, but for my brother Andrew Scott. Our dad was sick from the time that my brother and I were less than 2 years old, and when we were only 7 & 8, my dad passed away from systemic lupus. Andrew has always been strong. He worked hard for our family from a young age, and this summer he stood in
my dad’s place and walked me down the aisle at my wedding. Now a father to 3 young children who adore him, and a husband to a wonderful wife, Andrew continues to work hard to serve his family, and the community through Rotary, and the local church. The stability, resilience and strength that has been shown by my brother throughout all of life, makes him a true hero to myself and our family, his wife and children and many others. - Ashley Wood One vivid childhood memory I have is coming home from my first day of Grade 1 to find my dad, Dale Heichert, standing outside of our house with a sign that celebrated my first day at school.

He used to make rhymes for every grade we were in, like “Big Grade 1-er, don’t forget to tie your runners”. My dad has been my biggest supporter since I was a child. I grew up with my dad teaching us three kids the value of hard work, dedication, being kind and going after your dreams. He taught us that we could be whatever we wanted to be and that nothing could hold us back. He coached or watched our sports, helped us study for spelling tests and dreamt with us about our futures. When we entered university, he watched videos to learn about engineering, accounting and psychology so he could have conversations with me and my siblings about our respective educations. He is the epitome of support and he, along with my mom, are and always have selflessly been our No. 1 fans. This Father’s Day, he deserves to be treated like the hero that he is to us. We love you, dad. - Sydney Heichert My dad, Brandon Bell, is my hero because he is always there to help me, no matter the circumstance. When I bring home some challenging school work, he drops everything to help. He makes me dinner most nights and puts up with my complaints, but also finds something I like. He keeps me from adopting too many bad habits and he helps solve my arguments with my older brother. One reason I have so much fun during the summer is because he pulls our trailer to all different campgrounds. During the winter, he makes our skiing trips happen by coming along with us; otherwise, we couldn’t go. All the things my dad does for me add up and he must be exhausted at night. This is why my dad is my hero. - Juliana Bell, age 11 My father, Jim Karr, has been my rock and my best friend for my whole life. He’s always supported me and showed me a good example of how to work hard and provide for my family. We have been thrown some really complicated struggles as a family but he always manages to tap into that fatherly compassion and finds a way to encourage me to keep going. He’s my first phone call to celebrate with me when things go right and my first phone call to help me sort my thoughts
when things go wrong and I need a new perspective. He’s always been ready to help me in all ways as I raise my own children on my own. I am so grateful for this man and the things he does to show us how much he cares. It’s for these reasons and more that my dad is my hero. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou” - Stacey Burt My name is Wilde and I am 1 years old, and I have the best Daddy in the whole wide world! Curtis Whitford! Not only does he work really hard so my mom can stay home with me and my doggie brothers, but he spends all his free time outside of work playing with me and my mom. It doesn’t matter how tired he is, he always wakes up early with me on his days off so mommy can sleep in. We eat breakfast together and it is my favourite part of the weekend. We go for family bike rides, use his tools in his shop and build lots of cool things! He does more than just play too, he gives me my bath every night and always reads me a story before bed too. He helps mom with chores and never says no when she comes up with fun ideas for us. I know I’m still a toddler and have only had a daddy for just over a year, but I know he is the best Dad out there! - Wilde Whitford (my mom helped me type this out) My Dad Warren Sheldon Keith is my hero. I grew up in the Dallas neighbourhood of Kamloops & have clear memories of him being my coach, Beaver leader, instructor of many of life’s lessons & even though he was pretty strict, he lead by being such a fine example. The lowest & scariest time of my life was receiving the phone call from my Mom that he’d suffered a massive heart attack & had to have a quadruple bypass at St. Paul’s. Mere teenagers, my younger brother and I hopped in the car & drove through the night to be at his side. Thank goodness he fully recovered & continued to work hard - such a significant role model for me through those years. So much so that I now
do exactly the same job & trade as my Dad did - even with the same company! Now that has got to stand for something :) Now in my forties, I have all those experiences with my Dad to draw upon & have we have built a great friendship of respect and appreciation for each other as adults. He’s still my hero today; always will be and for all of this, I am truly thankful. I appreciate your time. - Brian Douglas Keith On behalf of my two young girls, I would like to nominate their dad, Jonathan Horlick, for the Father’s Day Hero Contest. According to our three-yearold, daddy is her hero because he “puts her hair into ponytails before taking her to day care.” Jonathan is the most amazing dad to our two girls and would do anything for them. Since he is always surrounded by girls, it would be nice for him to win the B.C. Lions tickets and go watch some football (even though he would take his girls to the game!). -Korinne Horlick Ever since I can remember, my dad, Robert Charles Ecclestone, has been my hero. When I was a young girl, he encouraged me to be active with whichever sports appealed to me. His medical career fascinated me, which led to many talks in my teens, when we would jog together nightly before bedtime. This must have factored in to my becoming a physiotherapist. My dad is a huge spectator sport guy, which has definitely come in handy as my husband also loves watching sports. I now understand most sports, especially Canadian football, which has enriched our lives. Last week, we celebrated my dad’s 80th birthday with a trip to his favourite place in the world, the Yukon Territory. It was wonderful to return to our north and I was overwhelmed with appreciation for my dad making it a priority to travel across our country while I was growing up. On successive summers, we drove RVs to the east and west coasts of Canada. I’m noticing signs of aging in my dear old dad, but I still appreciate that he’s been my rock through all my years. I will never forget that he is indeed my hero. - Cynthia Jane Keith

CITY’S REMAINING SQUASH COURTS TO CLOSE MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
No Limits Fitness part-owner Maria Maywood said the North Shore gym will close its squash courts at the end of July. The two courts, one of which can transform into a wallyball or racquetball court, are the only that remain in the city, but have not proven to be moneymakers for the gym since it opened in 2013, according to Maywood. “Our biggest revenue is the gym and we’ve got to grow the gym,” she said. “It’s unfortunate for the amount of space they [the courts] take up, it doesn’t give us the reveA S P C A H E E L

nue. That’s what it comes down to. “If it was a younger crowd that was getting into it more … but it’s an older crowd and it just seems to be dying off. The people that do get hurt or stop playing, they are not getting replaced by new people.” The Kamloops Squash Association (KSA), which operates programming out of No Limits and has fought for years to keep the sport alive in the city, is not giving up on convincing No Limits to keep its courts. “We will continue to follow up with the owners at No Limits,” KSA president Dave Clutton told KTW. “This is a good opportunity to look at developing a better foundation

for squash in town and, in the meantime, we will see if we can keep the courts.” Clutton added that while the average age of squash players in Kamloops is likely in the 40s, he coaches about 40 kids in weekly sessions and No Limits’ leagues feature players 19 and older. Two longtime squash players, Alison Slater and Trevor Stephens, had just finished a match at No Limits when they shared thoughts on the news. “It’s part of my lifestyle, it’s part of the camaraderie I enjoy with the other players, it’s very social and I’m really going to miss it,” Slater said. “I know it’s a private facility and

they have every right to determine how they want to put their facility to use. In saying that, I’m disappointed. I’m really disappointed.” Added Stephens: “It’s private enterprise. Squash is a great cardio sport and it’s social, but it’s probably not a moneymaker. We’ve been through this before.” No Limits part-owner Justin Grover spoke to KTW on Wednesday. “What we want to do from July 1 to July 31 is open up the facility, free of charge, to anybody who has played squash or wants to play squash as a way of saying thank you to the community for the support over the past few years,” Grover said.
“Moving forward, the wall between the squash courts will come down and we’re going to expand the gym into that section and create more space for our current members to take advantage of.” Grover said the renovation will be done in three phases, which include the removal of the squash courts and expansion of the gym, along with enhancement and expansion upstairs in the ladiesonly section and of the boot-camp room. Members of the Tournament Capital’s squash community are familiar with displacement. See SQUASH, A37

Arch Madness: Blues win their first Stanley Cup The St. Louis Blues celebrate with Lord Stanley’s mug after their 4-1, Game 7 win in Boston on Wednesday. On Jan. 1, St. Louis was in last place in the NHL standings, then won 30 of its final 49 games to enter the playoffs on a roll. CANADIAN PRESS
JIMMY GOLEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
St. Louis Blues’ goalie Jordan Binnington was waiting patiently, as NHL rookies learn to do, while the Stanley Cup was passed from teammate to teammate across the recently conquered ice of the new Boston Garden. Thirteen St. Louis players took their turn with the iconic trophy, raising it above their heads, lowering it for a kiss, posing for a picture. Finally, understudy Jake Allen gave the starter a little shove, and the Game 7 star timidly skated forward to receive the Cup and cap off one of the great rookie runs in NHL history. Binnington stopped 32 shots and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Ryan O’Reilly scored for the fourth straight game on Wednesday night to lead the Blues to a 4-1 victory over Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and their first NHL championship. “To bring a Cup to a city for a
first time is crazy. Tough to put into words,’’ forward Jaden Schwartz said on the ice as players and team officials took their turns caressing their new bauble. “These fans have been waiting a long time. It’s exciting. We’re going to have a lot of fun with it.’’ O’Reilly added an assist, Alex Pietrangelo had a goal and an assist and Brayden Schenn and Zach Sanford also scored for St. Louis, which had the worst record in the
league in early January, but won 30 of its final 49 regular-season games. “Once we pulled it together, we were tough to beat,’’ said coach Craig Berube, who took over when Mike Yeo was fired in November. He is the fourth coach in the past 11 years hired in mid-season to lead his team to the NHL title. Behind Binnington, the Blues eliminated the Jets in six games, the Stars in seven and then knocked out the Sharks in six to reach the final

for the first time since 1970. That year, the Blues lost in Boston when Bobby Orr flew through the air after scoring his Cup-clincher — a goal that is commemorated in bronze outside the building. “It’s pretty crazy how things come full circle like that,’’ Sanford said. “You know, this team deserves it more than anyone, I think. This is the best group of guys ever. We put in the work, and we earned it.’’ In a physical series that left Bruins ‘captain Zdeno Chara with a broken jaw and saw two Blues suspended for head hits, the teams took turns winning the first three games, with Binnington getting pulled from a 7-2 loss in Game 3. St. Louis won the next two to move one win from the title, but
Boston erupted for five goals in Game 6 on Sunday to force the series to the limit. Boston had home-ice advantage, along with a huge edge in Stanley Cup and Game 7 experience — five Bruins remained from the team that beat Vancouver in seven games to win the franchise’s sixth title in 2011, then returned to the final two years later. But it was the rookie Binnington — not 2014 Vezina Trophy winner Tuukka Rask — who took a shutout into the final minutes Wednesday. The Blues were never really in danger after scoring twice in the final few minutes of the first period. “He bounced back. We knew he would,’’ Pietrangelo said. “Unbelievable first period. His confidence, his swagger, his belief in himself — unbelievable.’’ Rask, who had been the favourite for the post-season MVP if the Bruins had won, stopped 16 shots. The Bruins outshot St. Louis 33-20, but Matt Grzelcyk scored Boston’s only goal.

Squash association exploring options From A35
In the summer of 2008, Racquetor Courts and Fitness on McGill Road closed its doors. Malone’s on 8th and its squash courts followed suit in May of 2010. A dimly lit, aging squash setup in the Thompson Rivers University gymnasium became the only place to knock the little rubber ball around until it closed in 2012. Maria and Darren Maywood and Andrew and Lisa Watson bought the Malone’s on 8th building and transformed it into No Limits, which opened in January of 2013. Justin and Alicia Grover have since bought into No Limits. In July of 2012, Byron McCorkell, then the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, said the squash facility at TRU was in line for a major upgrade had Kamloops won its bid for the 2015 Canada Winter Games. Prince George was awarded the Games. Andrew Watson told KTW in 2015 he was worried about
declining squash membership at No Limits and warned one court may have to be closed, but remained hopeful No Limits could remain a hub for the sport. A survey sent to No Limits members on May 29 asked for help with ideas for upcoming improvements to the gym, but nowhere on the list of options was squash mentioned. Some squash-playing members saw the writing on the wall. “The gym is growing, but that part [squash] isn’t growing,” Maria Maywood said. “Boot camps are growing. We might have to expand that room. More functional stuff is so big right now. Training for Spartan, Tough Mudder. They want agility and speed and a little bit of room. Weights.” The goal is to complete renovations by September. “For us, it’s scary,” Maria Maywood said. “We’re taking it [squash] away with no money coming in at first. We can’t afford to buy too much more equipment. It’s going to be a slow transition.”
KSA members are looking into alternative options, the most viable of which seems to be the refurbishment of the courts in the TRU gym. One of the squash courts is not the size commonly used in Canada and the other is a racquetball court that could double as a squash court if it had an adjustable back wall, but both have been used for storage since 2012. TRU athletics and recreation director Curtis Atkinson has been contacted for comment. There has been talk in the past of building some sort of squash facility on the Kamloops Tennis Association grounds at 750 Front St., but that project, a seemingly expensive one on city land, is unlikely to happen anytime soon. “Everybody is sad,” Maria Maywood said. “I’ve had a lot of messages on Facebook. People know we are the only place in town. That makes me sad. We definitely don’t want to crush people if it’s their only sport. We know we are going to lose them. “But we need to make money to run the business.”

THE SPECIAL YOU CAN'T MISS...
SINCLAIR TRYING TO STAY YOUNG AT WOMEN’S WORLD CUP IN FRANCE NEIL DAVIDSON
GRENOBLE, France — Christine Sinclair’s wish for her 36th birthday was simple and sweet — lava cake. There were other perks. A representative from the local Women’s World Cup organizing committee surprised the star forward from Burnaby with a bouquet before training. Sinclair did not talk to reporters on Wednesday, but veteran midfielder Sophie Schmidt said the skipper had woken up to a sign on her door. Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday was one of the first songs played pre-training as the team piled out of the bus and put on their boots at the picturesque Stade Paul Bourgeat in Gieres, just outside Grenoble. “She’ll probably get a cake. She’s requested a lava cake. But I don’t know if that’s going to come to fruition,’’ Schmidt said with a laugh. Sinclair, who shares her birthday with Cameroon’s Michaela Abam (22) and Marthe Ongmahan (27) and Thailand’s Orathai Srimanee (31), is the seventh-oldest player at this World Cup. At 41 and three months, Formiga became the oldest player to feature in a Women’s World Cup when she started in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Jamaica on Sunday, surpassing American Christie Rampone (40 and 11 months in 2015). Competing in her fifth World Cup, tying Karina LeBlanc’s Canadian record, Sinclair is four goals from surpassing retired American Abby Wambach’s world record of 184. Her composure and vision in front of goal are still impressive. Sinclair remains the tip of the Canadian spear, flanked by the speedy Nichelle Prince and multi-talented Beckie. Schmidt and Jessie Fleming are talented providers behind her. Coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller says Sinclair has expanded her game in the last three years. “When I came [here] first, she was a player who couldn’t go back-to-back,’’ said the Dane. “Then leading into the [Rio] Olympics, she could. And now she can go back-to-back against Tier 1 opposition, which is quite impressive. “So one thing is she knows her body a little bit

better and can take good care of that. But she has worked very, very hard during the winter. We talked about this (before the World Cup). She needed to be in her best shape coming into this tournament because we do want her to defend more. And she can do that. And she can do that back-to-back. “So it’s impressive. It takes some physicality, but it takes a lot of heart.’’ With three preliminary-round games in 10 days, Canada faces a demanding schedule. With three points under its belt following Monday’s 1-0 win over Cameroon, Canada was in high spirits Wednesday ahead of its match against New Zealand (0-1) on Saturday. Kickoff is slated for noon.
KGTC athletes in fine form Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre athletes participated in recent provincial and national competitions.

and Hannah Walker claimed silver in women’s trampoline competition. Guertin also had a sixth-place finish in tumbling, while Walker was fifth in doublemini. Hermione Loehr and Graeme Cant enjoyed second- and third-place finishes in double-mini, respectively, and will compete for B.C. at the Trampoline Gymnastics Western Championships later this month in Saskatoon. Auden Wozniak-Schlichter
finished atop the podium in men’s Level 2 trampoline. Cheyenne Haywood-Farmer placed third overall in her division. Teammates Linden Marshall and Genna Bruno both finished eighth in trampoline action in their respective divisions. Marshall also placed sixth in women’s tumbling and Bruno was fifth in double-mini. Christine Strain placed fifth in tumbling and Anna McDonald was fifth in doublemini. Gavin Dodd, Linden Marshall, Hermione Loehr, and Emma Guertin earned top honours in a team double-mini event. Kristina Dodd, Christine Strain, Cheyenne HaywoodFarmer and Hermione Loehr were second in a team tumbling competition.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM John Tudor Crowe
the unifying force of the family. John also stayed active as a Dallas volunteer firefighter.
John Tudor Crowe died on June 8, 2019 surrounded by his family as we shared memories of amusing stories he had told us of his youth. John was born on April 14, 1934 in Nottingham, England to Douglas Cormack Crowe and Elsie Sophia Catharina (née Eklund) Crowe. At school, he excelled at sports, especially swimming, water polo and rugby and first developed his love of language, art and learning. John’s young years were eventful and adventurous, beginning with a narrow escape from aerial bombings during WWII. On either side of the war, his mother took him on summer holidays to visit relatives in Sweden. Following school, John served with the Seaforth Highlanders in Scotland, West Germany and Egypt. In 1956, John began his Canadian adventure in Nakina, a northern Ontario Hudson Bay Company fur trading post. The next year, he drove west, where he joined the BC Forest Service. In 1961, he skied at Tod Mountain in its first year of operation. That same year, he was fortunately based in Williams Lake, when another adventurous Brit, the young English girl Jean Calverley, sold him a ticket for a palomino pony at the stampede. In 1964, they married and began their life together in Victoria. Work moved them to Prince George in 1965, where Catrina and Michael were born. Out went the racing TR7s and MGs; in came the Valiant station wagon. In 1967, the family moved to Kamloops, where John first worked with the then Department of Indian Affairs and later became a real estate appraiser. With Stephen’s arrival in 1969, the family was complete. And the adventures became of the family-camping, sailing, swimming kind – usually on the Shuswap or Hornby Island – interspersed with trips to England and Sweden or road trips through the western US. The winters were busy with skiing,
A Division of Service Corporation International (Canada) ULC.
For over 40 years, the family home was a warm, inviting house on the South Thompson River. John and Jean loved the home, not just for the views and the wildlife, but for the opportunities it gave them to host guests from around the world and throw dinners and parties in the garden for their large circle of wonderful, fun and caring friends, many of whom became part of our extended family. Travel and adventure were an important part of John and Jean’s life, including a trip of a life-time John made, sailing for three months across the South Pacific, and a six months European tour they made together in a VW van. Between John’s on-going volunteer activities with the Rotary Club of Kamloops and their involvement with the informal Walkie Talkies hiking group, Sun Peak Antiques and Probus Club, their social circle and interests continued to expand in retirement: hiking and camping, golf, and skiing, always skiing. Even in early February, John was on the black diamond slopes of Sun Peaks. John is survived by his wife and best friend Jean, his daughter Trina, his sons Michael (Susan Butland) and Stephen (Monica De) and his grandchildren Christopher and Sierra, of whom he couldn’t have been more happy and proud. He leaves an uncle and cousins he was fond of in Sweden, England and the US. John was also close to Jean’s English family, ten of whom joined us at Sun Peaks this past Christmas and made it a family holiday to remember. We thank the many people who helped us through the whirl of John’s short illness, particularly the truly outstanding and compassionate people at hospice, who made John’s last days so comfortable and peaceful. And we especially thank Dr. Chip Bantock for his immense care, support and guidance to the entire family. Please join us for a Celebration of John on Friday, June 21, 2019 at 1:00 pm at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul Street, Kamloops.
Jean passed away on June 1, 2019. Jean was born to John and Mickey Morgan in Wells, BC on December 6, 1939. They moved to Quesnel where she went to school. Jean was predeceased by her husband Karl. Left to mourn are her sister-in-law Ingrid (Blair Curtis), nephews Ian and Todd (Dawn) and special friends Pat and Ralph Maltman. Jean loved animals and spent many happy times with her schnauzers and cats. Riding horses with Pat and Ralph pretending they knew how. Jean worked at Woodwards and had fun dressing up in period costumes for their staff parties at the Stockmans. Jean spent the last nine years at Pine Grove Extended Care, where they were like family to her. Thank you so much for the wonderful care and a shout out to Trish and Tracy.
Donations can be made to the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism, A Way Home Kamloops Society, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice, or a charity of your choice.

Owen “Cobb” Barry Braun February 4, 1968 – May 19, 2019
It is with heavy hearts and much sadness that the family of Owen announce his passing on Sunday, May 19, 2019 in Victoria, BC at the young age of 51. Owen is survived by his dog Cooper, who was his best friend, his mother Meta, sisters Sue (Dan), Frankie, Sandy and Jennina (Jim), brothers Monty and Mark (Fay). He was predeceased by his dad Issac, sisters Lyanna and April and brothers Barry and Brian. Owen will be sadly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He will also be sadly missed by his little community of friends that he considered family in Victoria. Owen was always able to make people laugh and he was the life of the party. He was always happy to help people, even people he didn’t know. Owen lived life to the fullest but it was always on the edge. He was born in Terrace, BC and worked for tree topping companies in his younger years. He touched many peoples lives and was taken by surprise way too soon. As of late he was enjoying demon hunting, but he is now another angel looking down upon us. Rest in peace Cobb, you were a great son and brother. Cheers!! The Celebration of Owen’s Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, June 22, 2019 at 907-12th Street, Kamloops.

George Mike Hasbon August 31, 1934 – June 9, 2019
“On
the road again ”
George passed away peacefully on June 9, 2019 at RIH in Kamloops, BC after a long battle with heart disease and complications of the disease. He leaves behind his wife Lena Hasbon, his children Mark (wife Rosemary), Pam Hale, Candace Galbraith (husband John) plus grandchildren Brent Galbraith (spouse Jessica Lane), Corinna Long (spouse Lunden Long), three great-grandchildren Derek and Devyn Galbraith and Hudson Long. He was predeceased by grandchild (Derek Galbraith) and brother Andrew Hasbon. He is survived by his brother Peter Hasbon.
Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. It’s illegal to scatter ashes, isn’t it?
George’s career was spent in Prince George working with CNR and Via Rail, after retirement in 1990 George and Lena moved to Osoyoos, BC. In 2014, George and Lena wanted to be closer to their children so they packed up and moved to Kamloops, BC.
A. I get this question often. In a word...no. Now, you have to respect private property laws, municipal and other laws around “disposing” anything. But before you scatter, call us or drop by to discuss this. There are things you need to know before you scatter; afterwards, it’s too late.
George was a very loving and devoted husband and father and will be missed terribly by all. George’s passions included being at Fraser Lake at the family cabin, heading south to Yuma, Arizona as snowbirds, spending time with family and friends and he was known for spending endless hours enjoying the outdoors. George was know for his quiet demeanour and teasing nature. His family wishes to thank Navy Sahota for her TLC and all the staff at Ponderosa and RIH for the care and support they provided during George’s short stay at their facilities. !
George’s wishes were to have no formal service. In lieu of flowers, individuals could send donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ronald Saunders. Ron was born in Athabasca, Alberta on May 10, 1941. He grew up on a farm and developed a strong work ethic that stayed with him his whole life. Ron joined the military where he served a successful 26 year career with the Canadian Armed Forces, including two postings to Germany and a NATO peacekeeping tour in Egypt. Ron’s final posting had him at Mount Lolo radar station until the base closed. He then drove a school bus for School District 73 until his retirement at age 65. After retiring from the school district, Ron decided to continue driving busses for a few private and christian schools in Kamloops until 75 years old. Every Christmas Ron would receive numerous cards, chocolates, baked goods and gifts thanking him for his gentle kindness, care and safe driving. Just last fall Ron sold his home of 30-plus years in Valleyview and moved to Ridgepointe Retirement Residence in Pineview. He would always comment that
he felt spoiled having all his meals prepared for him and having a dessert with every meal. Ron was a loyal member of the Salvation Army Church and took great pride in being a Salvation Army Soldier. He took his oath very seriously and always had his shoes shined up for Sunday service where he would welcome everyone with a handshake at the door. Ron also volunteered countless hours manning the Christmas kettles at numerous locations in Kamloops. Ron’s presence will be sorely missed by his fellow worshippers. Ron was so proud of his two sons John (Jodie) Saunders of Nova Scotia and Ron (Coralea) Saunders of Kamloops, his two grandsons Theodore and Joshua Saunders and his granddaughter Jaime Saunders. Ron was such a kind and gentle man full of honesty and integrity who set a great example for his sons. He will be missed and never forgotten.

Celebration of Life Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away,
David (Doc) George Hughes April 4, 1953 – April 28, 2019
David will be greatly missed and always remembered. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Big Little Science Centre or The Kidney Foundation. A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, June 30, 2019 from 2:30 - 4:30 pm at St. Andrew’s on the Square, 159 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC.
Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
