A buffer zone has been set up around an archeological site on West Victoria Street after construction crews discovered what the city is calling a “significant find” on Wednesday morning. City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell told KTW the discovery of ancestral human remains dating to before European settlement was made at about 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday in the middle of the West Victoria Street reconstruction project. It’s not the first time artifacts have been found during the construction project, which began in April in one of the oldest areas of the city. Items previously discovered include glass bottles and a portion of a tool. However, Wednesday’s discovery is different. “It’s a significant find,” Crundwell said. He said when the remains were discovered, crews immediately

stopped work. The RCMP, Tk’emlups te Secwépemc (TteS) and Golder Associates were called in to control the site and it was determined the origin of the remains

are not modern. Crundwell said the exact age of the remains is not yet known, but he said it was confirmed they date back to preEuropean settlement in the area.

“They just know based on what they see that it’s not modern,” Crundwell said, noting soil is taken into consideration. The area is cordoned off and security has been put in place at the site

where the remains were found. The city said it is committed to following the Heritage Conservation Act and working with TteS to protect cultural heritage.

The city and Tk’emlups were scheduled to meet on Thursday afternoon. Crundwell said among top priorities is protecting the site. “We’re asking the public to respect how this is going to get dealt with,” he said. Asked if this will slow the West Victoria Street project, Crundwell said: “At this time, no.” He said crews will take the weekend off and noted the city had anticipated the potential for archeological discovery in the area. “We appreciate the immediate actions taken by the project team and are fully aware of the steps that have been taken, which are in line with our policies,” Tk’emlups Chief Kukpi7 Rosanne Casimir said in a release.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

SKATE DAY IN KAMLOOPS

Following an impassioned plea while persuading council colleagues to adopt global standards for reducing greenhouse gases in Kamloops, Coun. Arjun Singh made another bold statement. “I am prepared to lose an election over this issue,” Singh told KTW. Singh put forward a notice of motion on Tuesday, calling on the city to align itself with global efforts to maintain a 1.5 C temperature increase as set out in the Paris Agreement. His notice of motion also called on staff to outline a series of efforts to attain that goal. Setting that target would amount to a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and an 80 per cent reduction by 2050. The notice of motion passed by a vote of 8-1, with Coun. Mike O’Reilly opposed. In making his pitch, Singh called on council to take “bold leadership” on the issue of climate change, citing impacts in the area from extreme weather. “This is not negotiable,” Singh told council. “It’s not negotiable, in my view. I think that’s what we have to really think about. Are we just going to sit here? ... Think about your kids and your grandkids. “ In my case, my niece and my nephew. I don’t want to give them a world where they said, ‘Arjun,

you kicked the can down the road.’” Singh received some opposition. Mayor Ken Christian noted the city already has a number of sustainability initiatives underway and said Kamloops is likely to reach a population of 100,000 during council’s term. “If this is a choice between green and growth, I’m going to go with growth,” Christian said. Coun. Bill Sarai said he preferred a blanket policy across the country. Kamloops residents, for example, are unlikely to give up their cars any time soon, he said. “Not everyone has a little pot of cash at home to buy an electric vehicle,” Sarai said. O’Reilly also had concerns about costs. However, his question centred on the yet-to-bedetermined tasks that will come with meeting the emission-reduction targets. Coun. Dieter Dudy suggested watering down the language of the motion to include the word “encourage” rather than “mandate” in order to prevent the inevitable backlash the city would encounter for not meeting the targets. Staff noted, however, council was not committing to carrying out any of those tasks. Singh countered, stating he doesn’t want an out. “I’m going to be very, very upset if I don’t get there [targets], but I don’t want an out,” Singh said. After the decision, Singh called it a tough discussion, but noted council has set an important marker that shows the city is fully

in line with global goals. Next steps will include staff bringing back to council a series of tasks to carry out the emission-reduction goals. Council will have difficult decisions to make at that time, when price tags are attached. Singh told KTW he would rather pay money up front and less down the road, noting the costs of fighting fires. However, spending now for something later can be politically challenging — a risk Singh is willing to take over the issue. “I’m not a guy that, hopefully, cries wolf very often, but I’m calling alarms on this,” Singh said. “I’m saying there is an opportunity here that we can take advantage of. If people say, ‘Arjun, you’re out to lunch’ ... I’ll be out. But I’ll feel very happy that I did my job.” BLUE DOT TO GO BACK TO COUNCIL The city’s development and sustainability committee made changes earlier this week to the Blue Dot campaign community declaration, which will better align it with what council is already doing. The initiative will go back to council at a later date for final approval. The Blue Dot campaign is a David Suzuki Foundation initiative focusing on enshrining environmental rights — such as the right to clean air and drinking water, safe food and access to nature — in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Fines for recycling recidivists JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Those who carelessly toss items into their curbside recycling bins could face fines as the city amps up enforcement to lower contamination rates. Repeat offenders could be fined $100 beginning this month. “This isn’t a new message,” city environmental services manager Glen Farrow said. “We’re at a point now where we need to start ramping up our enforcement.” In 2017, the city joined Recycle BC, a provincial organization that oversees recycling across the province. Under Recycle BC rules, collectors must limit contamination — items not allowed under its guidelines — to three per cent. Farrow said Kamloops is sitting

at a 10 per cent contamination rate. Asked who could be fined, he said anyone who puts recycling to the curb. The focus will not be on the household that improperly sorts one item, but instead on those repeat offenders who toss trash in the bin. “It’s that high level of outright garbage in our containers,” Farrow said. The city previously had the ability to fine residents through its bylaws, but has until this point opted instead to educate and warn residents, with hopes the situation would improve. City staff have been at neighbourhood meetings discussing the issue, have promoted a Waste Wise app developed to make clear what can and cannot be recycled and have connected with multi-family developments, which are appar-

ently among the worst offenders. More recently, staff have been looking inside carts before they are tipped and issuing warnings to those who do not comply. Still, the situation has not improved enough and Farrow said enforcement is the next step. “We’re at that point now,” he said. If contamination rates don’t improve, Recycle BC could fine the municipality. Fines start at $5,000, though the city has not yet been fined. “Each load we bring to their facility, we could be fined,” Farrow said.

COHABITATION AGREEMENTS What, Why and When? Like signing a Will or Power of Attorney, a cohabitation agreement can help you plan for an unpredictable future. Cohabitation agreements (or marriage agreements for married couples) are written contracts signed by couples that govern their relationship while they are living together, or more commonly, address issues that may arise if the relationship comes to an end.

BOWLED OVER BY BIKE BLING

Cohabitation agreements are common for couples with blended families, to ensure that both partner’s assets are protected. They are also common for couples if one partner has a substantial amount of property or debt, and can protect a partner from having to pay spousal support if one partner has significantly more income than the other.

If approached in a positive way, while both partners are on agreeable terms, this tool can provide a roadmap for how the financial aspects of a relationship are dealt with. They can determine which assets and household expenses are shared, which are kept separate, and determine how certain assets and property are divided if the relationship comes to an end – before the stress and pressure of the actual family breakdown.

City management gets 10.75% raise over five years JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

On the heels of a new contract with the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 900 and the City of Kamloops, council has approved giving managers a percentage raise similar to that received by union employees. The raise is effective as of Jan. 1 of this year. Management’s contract expired at the end of 2018. A closed council resolution from a June 11 meeting presented Tuesday during the mayor’s report revealed staff will receive a 10.75 per cent pay increase over the next five years, through 2023. The resolution states the motion was moved by Coun.

Dale Bass, seconded by Coun. Arjun Singh and carried, with all councillors present. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin explained to KTW the five-year proposal was presented to council, matching CUPE’s pay raise. The city and CUPE agreed to a new five-year contract in May, with a pay raise of 10.75 per cent over the next five years. Trawin said management’s new contract did not see increases to benefits nor work practices (holidays and sick time). City managers are paid on a five-step grid and Trawin said the city matched its third step to the middle mark of other communities. The comparison is made among the same 13 communi-

ties to which council salaries are compared. “It showed that management salaries are generally in line with other communities in terms of what compensation is,” Trawin said. “They don’t need to be increased beyond the cost of living. We also asked what other communities are doing. Generally, what the union had is similar to what other communities are doing.” Management’s last contract saw a 7.5 per cent pay raise over five years. Asked why the raises are more this time, Trawin said if managers don’t stay in line with the union, managers can wind up making less than the staff they supervise. Management doesn’t get overtime pay, for example.

Major purchases can impact mortgage qualification Buying a home is likely the largest financial purchase you’ll make in your lifetime. That’s why it’s important to ensure you don’t take on major expenses, such as financing or leasing a vehicle, leading up to the time you’re in need of a mortgage – whether you’re buying a new home or renewing/refinancing an existing mortgage. When applying for a mortgage, there’s a lot of information you’re required to provide in order to qualify, particularly as it pertains to your current

financial situation. Based on the information at hand, potential lenders will then determine whether you can afford your mortgage payments. If you have too much debt, such as a large car loan or lease payment, there’s a risk your mortgage will be declined or significantly reduced with traditional lenders that offer the most competitive rates. Lenders will compare your debt levels versus your income (known as a debt-to-income ratio). Having a large car loan reduces the

amount of money you have available to pay for other things, including a mortgage. Obtaining financing for your vehicle also directly affects your credit score, which plays a significant role in the mortgage approval process. That’s not to say you should never purchase a vehicle if you’re buying a home but, before you do, make sure you can afford both. It’s always wise to check in with your mortgage broker before making major purchases to err on the side of caution.

Sweeping changes are being made to way the City of Kamloops regulates secondary suites. Following a public hearing on Tuesday night at Sandman Centre, council approved amending its zoning and business licence bylaws to allow secondary suites in more areas of the city and charge $67.20 to homes in which landlords do not reside. The city will allow secondary suites (above-ground, basement and garden) in single-family dwellings in all urban neighbourhoods, impacting about 93 per cent of the population from Aberdeen to Juniper to Westsyde. It effectively removes the rezoning process, which includes a public hearing. Coun. Kathy Sinclair initiated the idea at city hall. “To me, this is a concrete action that will help put that density that we talk about in KamPlan into place,” Sinclair told KTW following council’s decision. Council voted unanimously to support the changes, but not before suggesting other ideas. Coun. Mike O’Reilly suggested relaxing the parking rules. Three unstacked (meaning side by side) parking stalls are required, which O’Reilly called a “barrier” that could prevent residents from legalizing their suites. He suggested only two side by side parking spaces be required. “For me, this bylaw is a lot about making suites safer via legalization and helping with affordabil-

ity,” O’Reilly said. “I think we need to encourage people to legalize as much as we can.” Staff have said parking is among top concerns from residents when it comes to allowing more suites in the city. Council heard it would be better to make gradual changes, with re-evaluation down the road. In the end, only councillors Dale Bass and Bill Sarai supported O’Reilly’s idea and the proposed amendment died. “We’re testing the waters here,” Mayor Ken Christian said in speaking against the amendment. From the public during the hearing came still more ideas — none of which amounted to changes to the city’s plans. Former city councillor Tina Lange spoke as a landlord with multiple rental houses. The city will charge a business licence fee of $67.20 to landlords for homes in which they do not live. The city said the fee aligns with those charged to bed and breakfasts and is similar to that in other communities. But, as Lange pointed out, landlords with multiple homes will be required to pay that fee for each house. She suggested the fee cover up to five houses or be reduced to $20 for each additional home. “Landlords don’t make buckets of money,” Lange said. Another resident suggested the city look at splitting the title on carriage suites, while others wondered why the city excluded lots with frontage less than 50 feet. If densification is the end goal, some asked, why not open it up completely? Staff explained, however, the lot

size was chosen in order to accommodate parking and a minimum front yard landscaping requirement of 40 per cent. Homeowners with small lots, however, could still go to the city and request a variance. Meanwhile, one resident said he had concerns about increased noise in his neighbourhood — more doors slamming and cars running, for example — and increasing the city’s carbon footprint as a result of spreading secondary suites throughout Kamloops. Several residents lauded the city, including one man who said the changes would allow young people the opportunity to get into the housing market. “I really believe that a lot of millennial are priced out of the market right now,” he said. The plan will now go to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for approval. City planning manager Jason Locke said the city requires approval for any zoning changes within 800 metres of a controlled access highway. An enforcement policy is also due in council chambers next month. BC Assessment has identified about 3,000 residential suites in the city, with only a small fraction of them legal. The city has said it will not proactively enforce illegal suites. Enforcement will remain on a complaint basis, including for life-safety issues. Instead, the city will encourage legalization. The city will be working on a legal suite registry and app to identify legal suites for renters.

Rainbow crosswalk cost estimated to be $10K JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A rainbow is expected to form over a downtown intersection after council directed staff to research location, cost and engineering of a rainbow crosswalk in the city’s core. On Tuesday, the Kamloops Pride organization requested support from council for a permanent rainbow crosswalk downtown. “Really, it’s just to remind us to look out for those who are most vulnerable in our communities, just like pedestrians,” Kamloops Pride president Sam Numsen told council. Rainbow crosswalks have become symbols of inclusion in the LGBTQ community. Numsen said dozens of municipalities and organizations across the province have installed them. One city council, however, rejected the idea. Last year, Merritt council rejected a proposal from the school district for a rainbow crosswalk at an intersection adjacent to the local high school. In response, community initiatives resulted in multiple rainbow crosswalks being created on private property. Kamloops has four rainbow crosswalks: at Thompson Rivers University (installed in 2013), two at Kamloops Airport (installed in 2018) and a recent addition at Lansdowne Village downtown. However, Numsen said the proposed downtown rainbow crosswalk would be the first permanent one downtown on public land.

The downtown location was also cited for accessibility and visibility. Kamloops Pride is eyeing a hightraffic intersection, such as Third Avenue and Lansdowne Street or up by the Kamloops Farmers’ Market, at Third Avenue and St. Paul Street. “Many events take place in the downtown core throughout the year,” Numsen said, noting the Pride Parade is also held downtown each August. Talks with Kamloops Pride for a rainbow crosswalk downtown began in 2016. Asked what has taken so long, Numsen said the plan has taken on various iterations, noting the nonprofit has had varying priorities over the years. “What we’ve heard from the community is that it is something they’d like to see,” Numsen told KTW. “So that’s why we’ve been having these conversations over the years. We saw, obviously, there’s a change in folks at city council. “We do have a letter of support from the KCBIA for the downtown rainbow crosswalk and the social planning council has also [endorsed] a recommendation from the now-defunct diversity advisory committee. These things are slow going.” Council voted unanimously to direct staff to bring back a report on the matter. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian noted city council vision includes “inclusivity.” City staff have pegged the cost of a rainbow crosswalk to be $10,000. It is unclear whether the crosswalk could be installed in time for the August Pride Parade.

The China connection

s a rookie councillor in 2007, Arjun Singh drew the ire of thenmayor Terry Lake, then-councillor Joe Leung and more than a few members of the public on the issue of China. At the time, the city was planning a business trip to Changping, a district of Beijing with which Kamloops had signed a trade protocol. Singh was not necessarily opposed to the city seeking out economic opportunities with the communist regime. But he was adamant that, while discussing economic matters, Lake and company should raise the issue of China’s deplorable human rights record when meeting their Chinese hosts. “I have an issue with any government that oppresses its people,” Singh told KTW back then. Through all his calls for Canadians to discuss human rights and democracy while signing trade deals, Singh reiterated the need to approach China respectfully about the issues. Alas, nobody from the Kamloops delegation raised a peep about human rights and democracy when in China, with Lake arguing that it is not a Canadian municipality’s role to “lecture” another country. From his days as a neophyte at city hall to his current role as Kamloops’ longest-serving councillor (2005 and onward) and president of the Union of BC Municipalities, Singh is still facing the China question. Singh is mired in a new China

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS controversy, with Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West slamming the UBCM for accepting tens of thousands of dollars from the Chinese government, what West calls a pay for access deal that gives the Chinese official sponsorship of a reception at the annual UBCM convention in September. The Chinese reception has been held every year since 2012, at a cost of about $6,000 per year. West has a point. Why is the UBCM accepting money from a dishonest, totalitarian regime that has placed two Canadians on death row as payback for Canada arresting Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou? I asked Singh point blank for a yes or no answer to the question of whether the China sponsorship deal should continue. He replied that, as UBCM president, he must consider all viewpoints of the executive and members. He said it would “confuse the issue” if he was to state a personal opinion that contradicted an official UBCM stance. Then again, Singh told KTW he

likely would not attend the Chinasponsored reception if he was not UBCM president, a comment he told me “speaks for itself.” If it speaks for itself, Singh should then speak it himself. As with many other issues, Singh is careful to note he “respects the views” of both sides of the argument. It has long been his default position — another way of defining one’s self as being a fence-sitter. In some cases, though, one can “respect the views” of both sides while stating clearly one’s opinion on the issue. In some cases, the views of one side need not be respected. In some cases, taking a stand is preferable to not wishing to rock the boat. To Singh’s credit, the China matter will be discussed at a UBCM executive meeting in July, with Singh telling me he has received plenty of correspondence from people opposed to the reception/ sponsorship deal. Also to his credit, Singh said he remains tied to his comments of more than a decade ago regarding China’s human rights record. He said he has raised the issue of China’s poor record on human rights when meeting with officials at the consulate in Vancouver — and added he will at the September reception, if it proceeds. “ I have and I will,” Singh said. “I think it’s incumbent upon me to talk about the diversity of opinion that includes concerns that people have raised.” Let me add there is no need for Singh to tell the Chinese he respects their opinion. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TAX THE EMITTERS, NOT THE CONSUMERS $10,000? THAT’S ONE COSTLY CROSSWALK

Editor: I am happy that Kamloops council has approved a rainbow crosswalk for downtown, but at a cost of about $10,000? Is council kidding? How much does six cans of paint and a paint brush cost? No wonder the city payroll came in at $73 million. It doesn’t seem right that most of the money we pay in taxes goes to payroll and overhead and not into actual services. Brian Husband Kamloops

TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT SHOULDER RAINBOW CROSSWALK COSTS Editor: The City of Kamloops has been asked by Pride Kamloops to paint a rainbow crosswalk downtown for an estimated cost of $10,000. Like costs associated with a Pride parade, those requesting the crosswalk should pay the tab. The $10,000, which could be used to maintain our streets, should not come from taxpayers. Frank Lang Kamloops

Editor: It appears the federal government doesn’t like to be deprived of the proceeds from its carbon tax levy. The new United Conservative Party of Alberta re-wrote the previous NDP government’s carbon tax that applied to both consumers and emitters. The new tax cancelled the consumer segment at the expense of that now imposed on the province business emitters. Deprived of all that carbon tax collected at the gas pumps, or from home heating, Ottawa is musing about imposing a $50 per tonne levy on Alberta consumers. Environment Minister McKenna has another concern, in that Alberta has not stated it would follow federal pricing when it rises past the current emitter level of taxation. The irony is that in testimony made for the government at court hearings in Saskatchewan, the federal argument was that a carbon tax was needed to fight human-caused global warming

and to meet Canada’s commitment to the Paris Accord. Unfortunately, it is being said that the Canadian carbon tax would have to increase to $250 per tonne to meet that commitment, unless Canada’s largest emitters are forced to curb their emission levels. In a classic case of misdirection, the federal government has restructured the environmental assessment priorities for a list of industries. Many of them produce GHGs at levels that are the same or higher than many mining, power generation and fossil-fuel operations that are not subject to the hard cap of GHG emissions. These include chemical, aluminum, fertilizer, agricultural operations, waste-treatment and disposal facilities. Not only is Bill C-69 approval procedurally unfair, it reinforces the view that the fight over GHG is restricted to western oil and gas.

Next to vehicle emissions, the oil and gas sector has been labelled the largest group of emitters in Canada. However, until the oil and gas sector has been forced to become more environmentally responsible in reducing its carbon footprint, it should be subject to a levy that is proportionate to its greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, the federal Liberals continue to subsidize Canada’s oil and gas industry to the tune of $1.6 billion annually. Instead of passing legislation that allows LNG processors a minimal carbon tax rate, and having their GHG emissions be subsidized by increasing the rates charged for carbon products, such as fuel or home heating, British Columbia should follow Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s policy and tax the emitters, not the consumers. Abe Bourdon Clinton

ONGOING CONCERNS OVER CHINA AT THE UBCM Editor: The ongoing debate regarding the Union of B.C. Municipalities accepting sponsorship money from China so the Communist government can host a reception at the September UBCM convention in Vancouver continues to raise concerns. Is it worth pretending our

relationship with China is fixable? Hearing UBCM president Arjun Singh say UBCM members may not be of one mind on the issue tells me the sponsorship saga must be addressed by that organization. Karl Wolfe Kamloops

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PONDEROSA NEEDS A MAKEOVER Editor: A friend and I went to visit another friend who was sent to Ponderosa Lodge downtown for physiotherapy after she broke her leg. This was the first time I had reason to visit the facility at Columbia Street and Fourth Avenue. At the front entrance, we were welcomed with dirt, weeds, garbage and dead, brown grass.

When we wheeled our friend out to the so-called patiogarden for some sun and fresh air, we saw a good deal more of the same — brown weeds and plants, overgrown dead grass and empty flower boxes. The only colour was a couple of out of control rose bushes that were hanging over the sidewalks, making it hard to maneuvre a wheelchair past. There were trees and shrubs

that hadn’t been pruned in years. What an absolute disgrace for a place that is supposed to promote recuperation and healing. Our 90-plus year-old friend in the wheelchair could have taken better care of the place. Her yard is beautiful.

Editor: A giant thank you to all who helped me with my dance with heatstroke on the fourth-hole tee box at Bighorn Golf and Country Club on June 15.

This includes the fellow from the pro shop who provided ice, the paramedics who attended in such a caring and professional manner and the staff at Royal Inland Hospital.

Sorry for not getting names, but you know who you are and know that your care was much appreciated. John Birk Kamloops

MUSIC CAN AND DOES BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER KUDOS TO THOSE WHO CARED FOR ME

Editor: We were delighted to see our band featured in a photo accompanying an article in the June 19 edition of KTW (‘Summer events are music to our ears’). The concert in the Park was the culmination of an enjoyable day of music-making. The group seen in the photo is made up of members of the Kamloops Community Band and our guests, the Sidney Concert Band from Vancouver Island. We spent the morning in rehearsal, with each band joining the other to play through one another’s music. The camaraderie that developed between us is a tribute to the power of music to bring people

together. In the interest of peaceful relations amongst the Kamloops music community, I should point out that we are the Kamloops Community Band (winds and percussion, no strings). There are several fine orchestras in Kamloops — our professional Kamloops Symphony, the Thompson Valley Orchestra and the Brandenberg Orchestra, to name three. All have violins, violas, cellos and string basses. We don’t.

Cassie Koroll Kamloops

TAXING THE RICH WON’T MAKE THEM PAY Editor: I see it is the silly season again, with politicians in Ottawa promising pharmacare and low-cost housing — the rich will pay. No they won’t. First, there aren’t enough rich to pay for everything. Second, the rich are mobile. Remember Francois Hollande? He was going to introduce a 75 per cent income tax on the rich. The rich promptly moved to London, the tax disappeared and so did Hollande.

Cliff Noakes music director Kamloops Community Band

When Martin O’Malley was governor of Maryland, he increased the state income tax on millionaires. The next year, state tax revenue actually declined. A lot of millionaires had moved to Florida, which has no state income tax. The next time you buy gasoline, look at the price we pay in B.C. compared to Alberta. You will know who pays. It’s you.

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Currie, a longtime Kamloops resident and former Crown prosecutor for nearly 20 years, was acclaimed the Green Party of Canada’s Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding candidate on Wednesday.

Green Party acclaims Currie MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

In what was described as the most well-attended nomination meeting yet, the Green Party of Canada’s KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding association acclaimed candidate Iain Currie Wednesday night. About 70 people packed The Vic downtown to hear Currie’s acceptance speech and the candidate described the turnout as momentum in the run-up to the election. “The Greens are a force, I think, locally, and we’re going to build on this and we’re going to leverage the excitement, the interest, the passion of the people in this room,” he told KTW. The local riding association

is reporting what appears to be a record high in donations. “The final tally of donations and pledges isn’t available yet, but all signs point to online and in-person donations to the local candidate spiking tonight to a level we have not seen here before,” said local Green riding association president Matt Greenwood. “It looks like we received more money tonight than we did during the entire election campaign in 2015.” Currie said support for the Greens is at an all-time high across the country, noting Wednesday’s turnout is evident momentum has spread to Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. Green candidates have seen success in 2019 with the election of Canada’s second Green MP, Paul Manley, in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith

byelection and with the party forming official opposition in Prince Edward Island. In 2017, three Green Party MLAs were elected in B.C and currently hold the balance of power in the province. Currie is a longtime Kamloops resident and served as a Crown prosecutor for nearly 20 years. He is currently a practising civil lawyer with the Cundari Seibel LLC law office, from which he has taken a leave of absence to focus full-time on the campaign. Currie will be on the ballot alongside Ken Finlayson (People’s Party), Peter Kerek (Communist), Terry Lake (Liberal), Cathy McLeod (Conservative) and Gina Myhill-Jones (NDP).

Charlie the kitten is on the mend THE HUMANE SOCIETY IS ASKING FOR HELP IN COVERING SURGERY BILL Charlie’s Xrays that show the broken hip.

TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

Charlie the kitten is likely hip to the fact he has nine lives — and he may have used one of them in getting desperately needed surgery. A rescue animal being sheltered by the Kamloops and District Humane Society, Charlie is recovering after undergoing surgery for a broken hip. According to Barbara Zibrik, executive director of the society, Charlie is a tough kitty to keep down. “He’s a really happy little kitten,” she said. “He just hasn’t stopped purring through the whole thing and I marvel at that.” The broken hip was discovered after Charlie was rescued and it was promptly treated by Sandy Jamieson at The Cat Hospital in Kamloops. The humane society is now trying to raise money to cover the cost of that treatment and

any additional costs going forward. “Dr. Sandy gave a huge discount,” Zibrik said. “Even with that, it’s still $1,000.” As the humane society is run by volunteers and operates through the generosity of the community, Zibrik hopes people will rally behind Charlie and help cover the cost of his treatment. “The surgery took place last week and he’s recovering very well,” she said. The fact Charlie is so young

improves his chances of experiencing a full recovery, which Zibrik said looks likely. Down the road, once Charlie’s hip has completely healed, the humane society will be looking to find him a loving family in the community. Until then, he’s been recovering in the home of one of the humane society’s volunteers. Zibrik said the Kamloops and District Humane Society fosters its animals in homes of volunteers,

rather than in cages. She said the smaller scale of the organization, with a smaller overhead, means more of the funds raised can go directly to animals in its care. According to Zibrik, that’s 98 cents of every dollar going straight to caring for the animals. Approximately 250 animals go through the humane society every year. Donations for Charlie can be sent online via paypal.com or canadahelps.org if donors look up Kamloops and District Humane Society at those sites. Money can also be directly e-transferred to kamloopshumanesociety@gmail.com. In-person donations can be dropped off at Petland, at Notre Dame Drive and Dalhousie Drive in Southgate, or at the Cat Hospital, at 1338 Battle Street just east of downtown. Donations of more than $10 are tax deductible.

Culos fails in his latest bid to rezone Landmark JESSICA WALLACE

For the third time, Kamloops council has denied a Kelowna developer permission to rezone commercial space to residential units in the Landmark Heights development on McGill Road, across from Thompson Rivers University. About 40 people — some of whom were also on hand to discuss impending changes to secondary suite rules — attended Tuesday night’s heated public hearing at Sandman Centre, Jonni’s Styling Studio owners Jonni and Darrel Yeomans own unit 101 at Landmark Place, at 765 McGill Rd. Their unit is on the same floor and shares a lobby and front entry with the two units developer Mike Culos asked to be rezoned — 102 and 103. The Yeomans urged council to deny Culos’ rezoning, due to impacts on their business, which they say they purchased with their life savings after decades in the business. Jonni’s staff is now limited to buzzing in and out its clients as if it were located inside an apartment building, because they do not have a streetside entry, as do other businesses in the development. “We’re alone and without critical public access, which definitely affects our business,” Darrel Yeomans said. The Yeomans also noted the units in question have been all but converted to residential without proper approval. The city had issued Culos a stop-work order for pre-emptively converting the commercial units to residential. It’s not the first time Culos has charged ahead without proper paperwork. Trees were cut down on lots next to the old CN Station downtown, contrary to the city’s tree removal bylaw. Culos, however, said a plan remains in the hands of the strata council to provide the Yeomans daytime lobby access. “We just think they would be far better residential,” Culos said of the units at the centre of the public hearing. Without providing any reasons,

council quashed Culos’ rezoning application. Moved by Coun. Dudy, it did not receive a seconder and therefore died on the floor. Coun. Arjun Singh had declared a conflict of interest, in light of family members living in one of the buildings. PARKING PROBLEMS PERSIST However, the Yeomans were not the only ones calling on council to deny the rezoning. It appears concerns continue to persist around a parking problem at the Landmark Heights development. U District Liquor Store and Lucky’s owner Ramesh Patel, rheumatologist Dr. Barbara Blumenauer and periodontist Dr. Preety Desai again appeared before council, having spoken on the issue in March 2018 during Culos’ first failed bid to rezone. Patel questioned a parking study conducted by Culos suggesting there is no parking problem and requested the city direct Culos to provide 20 parking stalls or build a parking lot on adjacent cemetery land to the south of Landmark. Parking has been a sticky issue, dating back to a covenant that failed to be registered on the property, which would have allowed shared parking among Landmark Heights’ four buildings. Instead, multiple stratas continue to squabble over the spaces. Earlier Tuesday, a closed council decision made public during that afternoon’s regular council meeting revealed council rejected plans to lease 600 square metres of Hillside Cemetery land to the strata at Landmark One and Landmark Two, which would have provided 21 more parking stalls for residents and businesses. Council did not support the request and instead instructed administration to prepare a business case to build a city-owned parking lot in that location. Voting in favour of that option were Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dudy, Dale Bass, Sadie Hunter, Bill Sarai, Kathy Sinclair and Denis Walsh. Coun. Mike O’Reilly was opposed and Singh recused himself in light of his conflict of interest.

Work continues on the West Victoria Street reconstruction project downtown.

West Vic’s new life creating challenges for Mustard Seed JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A non-profit organization says it is making the best out of a difficult situation as it continues to serve those in need in the middle of a construction zone. Despite giving the city a solid communications report card on the West Victoria Street reconstruction project, The Mustard Seed New Life Community Kamloops, at 181 West Victoria St., is feeling impacts — from losing water service, to fewer dental appointments, to saving a man who was overdosing and fell into a trench. “We’ll be glad when we’re no longer in the thick of it,” Mustard Seed managing director Diane Down told KTW. The city project began in April. Crews are upgrading utilities below the street that are more than 100 years old, repaving the road, landscaping, adding new lighting and relocating power lines underground. Down said construction work led to a burst water main for the second time in less than a week last week, noting water service has been lost on several occasions. “When you’re doing a project that size, it’s kind of inevitable that accidents happen, so we just lose water,” she said. “That’s

tricky, though, depending on what time of the day it is. It impacts our dental operations, as well as our kitchen.” Among Down’s larger concerns are seniors who are dental clients. The Mustard Seed offers reduced-rate dental and dropin services, with many seniors referred there through the Centre for Seniors Information in North Kamloops. Those clients typically take transit downtown. “They’re just not making appointments,” Down said. “We’re quite down in our appointments.” Asked about its lunch outreach program, Down said evaluating impact on numbers as a result of construction is difficult. “That would be a complex question to answer,” she said. Number are down, but she said that drop coincided with the opening of the Spero House supportive housing project on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops. Down added that weather plays a factor on attendance. Meanwhile, a recent incident has prompted talks about how to protect open pits along the pathway. A man who was in the middle of an overdose fell into one of the trenches about a week-and-a-half ago. “Our outreach worker did

Happy Canada Day!

assist him with Naloxone, and then the ambulance was called and they came and retrieved him out of the trench,” Down said. “Those were the very things we were concerned of. That traffic between Emerald House and us, those folks are not always stable for a variety of reasons and so it does impact things. “That fellow was fine. It all worked out. We just talked a lot about how to protect the open pits along the pathway on the sidewalk side of the street, not only the street side of the street. It’s just tricky because it’s a very dynamic work space.” Down said by the time clients arrive at The Mustard Seed, they have already navigated through the construction zone from downtown or North Kamloops. She praised the city’s communication throughout the project and gave kudos to flaggers, who have been directing traffic. She noted the non-profit’s services are offered from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., meaning those coming back and forth are now are doing so by daylight. Still, the agency is urging people to use caution. The Mustard Seed expects construction will move out of its direct vicinity in July. The city expects to complete the entire project by the summer of 2020.

KTW published a story on the theft online and in the print edition of June 26, the very day the bike was recovered. “Someone spotted my bike at the North Shore Safeway,” Wiebe said. “As soon as someone saw the bike, they put a lock on it when it was unattended and then called the RCMP.” Wiebe said he wants to thank Tracy Parker-

Belrose, an administrator of the Facebook group who put the word out about his stolen wheels. But the other bike, one he was borrowing and worth substantially more than the $669 Trek that was recovered, is still missing. That bike is black and grey with red highlights and a MECbranded saddle. For now, Wiebe has initiated a claim using his home insurance and will go that route if the bike is not found. “It’s a bit of a wakeup call,” he said. Wiebe’s advice after this ordeal is to register your bike before it is stolen, which will help police in recovering the bike and help prove ownership.

TRU profs share grant Five researchers from Thompson Rivers University have received a $579,000 federal grant to share over the next five years. The money comes from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council’s (NSERC) Discovery Grants program. The money is being divvied up between: • Dr. Catherine Ortner, an associate professor of psychology studying cognitive processes supporting emotion regulation choices; • Dr. Lingling Jin, an assistant professor of computing science who is looking into computational modelling and prediction of plant genome evolution; • Biology professor Dr. Jonathan Van Hamme, who is studying molecular mechanisms of fluorinated organic chemical metabolism in bacteria; • Mathematics professor Dr. Qinglin Yu, who is studying matching extensions in graphs and hyper graphs. A significant portion of the funds will be used to hire undergraduate students, enabling the studies to dig deeper. “Before, I was looking into people’s motives when deciding how to respond to an emotional situation, and now we’ll be looking at the underlying and unconscious mechanisms that go into those choices,” Ortner said. With the funds, TRU now has 18 faculty members supported by the Discovery Grant program. The Discovery Grant program funds innovations in chemistry, physics, life sciences, mathematics, computer science, geoscience and the many branches of engineering.

WATER CONSERVATION INDOOR WATER SAVING TIPS Water is essential to our daily lives. There is a potential for water conservation both inside and outside your home. Conserving water decreases the amount of water that requires treatment, which reduces wear and tear on major infrastructure.

Consider these water saving tips: • Keep a jug of water in the fridge instead of running the tap. • Avoid pouring water down the drain—use it to water plants or fill your pet’s dish. • Only run your dishwasher and washing machine when they are full. • Limit showers to five minutes or less. • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving. • Check for leaks in pipes and faucets. • Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily—tissues, wipes, and hygiene products belong in the waste bin.

NATIONAL NEWS

Manitoba premier to raise Quebec symbol law DEAN BENNETT

CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister says he will be seeking a joint response to Quebec’s new religious symbols law when western premiers meet on Thursday in Edmonton. “That is, certainly to my mind, dangerous and unCanadian and deserves to be opposed,’’ Pallister said in an interview. “We are not a two-tier rights country. “We’re not a country that celebrates sameness. We celebrate diversity and we need to make sure that we don’t restrict people’s freedoms, whether it’s speech or movement or religion.’’ The Quebec law prohibits teachers, police officers and other public servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols, and critics say it unfairly targets Muslims, Sikhs and other religious minorities. Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it’s not government’s responsibility, or in its interest, to legislate on what people should be wearing. But he did not specify what action his government would take to protect minority rights. Pallister said response from federal politicians has probably been muted, in part, because of the looming national election in October.

“They don’t wish to irritate the province of Quebec, but Quebec is one province in a beautiful country,’’ he said. “Canada is a beacon around the world for supporting freedoms, not suppressing them.’’ Alberta Premier Jason Kenney will host the premiers’ meeting — his first since his United Conservatives won the provincial election in April. He will host leaders from the four western provinces and three northern territories. It will also be the first time Kenney has spoken face to face with B.C. Premier John Horgan since the Alberta election. B.C. and Alberta have been locked in a dispute over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. While Horgan has said he’ll use every tool in his toolbox to oppose it, the federal government re-approved the multibillion-dollar project last week. Kenney’s first act as premier was to have proclaimed into law a bill to reduce oil and gas shipments to B.C. and elsewhere to forcefully push back, if necessary, against B.C.’s position. Horgan’s office, in a statement, said he anticipates a wide-ranging discussion at the meeting. “Premier Horgan is looking forward to speaking up for British Columbians at the Western premier’s conference, whether the topic is pharmacare, interprovincial trade, opioids and mental health, fighting

wildfires, building our economy or protecting our coast,’’ said the statement. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said the meeting will be a key launch point to getting work done on issues prior to a meeting of all the country’s premiers in Saskatoon July 9 to July 11. “These issues include reducing barriers to internal trade between provinces, encouraging responsible development of our sustainably produced energy resources, and reducing the red tape placed on our industries by working together on fair tax and regulatory regimes that are consistent throughout our provinces,’’ Moe’s office said in a statement. Kenney has said he is focused on reducing interprovincial trade barriers and building national consensus on support for major energy projects. Northwest Territories Premier Bob McLeod, in a statement, said he will be advancing the importance of strengthening Canada’s position in the Arctic. Nunavut Premier Joe Savikataaq’s said his focus will also be strengthening the Arctic, along with climate change and addressing mental health and addictions issues. Yukon’s Sandy Silver said he looks forward to establishing shared priorities in advance of the Saskatoon meeting. — with files from Steve Lambert in Winnipeg

bring nearly to a close the garbage saga that led to a diplomatic dispute with the Philippines and drew attention to the growing global problem of plastic waste. One hundred and three containers of garbage from Canada arrived in the Philippines falsely labelled as plastics for recycling in 2013 and 2014. President Rodrigo Duterte recalled the Philippine ambassador and consuls general last month after Canada missed his deadline to take back the garbage by May 15.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Late monsoon another sign of global heating

he monsoon rains are finally arriving in central and northern India, but they are two weeks late. It started raining in Mumbai this past Monday and it should be raining in Delhi by Friday, but it will have come too late for many people, especially farmers. For some parts of the country, 200 days have gone by without rain. Late May and early June are always brutal in northern India, as the heat builds up and the humidity rises. This year, with the monsoon delayed, it has been particularly bad, with the temperature hitting 48 C in Delhi last week — the hottest June day on record — and 50 C in Rajasthan. Countrywide rainfall for this year is down by 37 per cent. The heat and drought don’t just cause discomfort. After a few years of late or poor monsoons, the level of the groundwater drops and wells run dry. This year, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of villages have been temporarily abandoned as the residents moved to towns where there was still water. In the state of Maharashtra alone, 6,000 tanker trucks were delivering water to other hard-hit villages. The Indian government has just created a new Ministry of Water Power to tackle water conservation and management (better late than never), but it can’t solve the problem. Food production is falling, people are dying and, unfortunately, it’s only going to get worse. It’s impossible to say how many people have died because of this year’s late monsoon because India generally only counts people who make it to hospital before they die (and not always even then). But the state of Bihar reported 184 deaths by the middle of last week. A more plausible measure of mortality comes from Europe, where they compare overall mortality in normal times with mortality during a heat wave and, quite reasonably, assume the difference is mostly due to the heat deaths. In the record 2003 heat wave in Europe, when temperatures were slightly lower that they have been in northern India this month, an estimated 35,000 to 70,000 people died. So, how many premature deaths from heat have there been in India this month? Probably tens of thousands. And how much food production will be lost this year? Again, you cannot calculate it directly, but I can give you an informed guess. About a dozen years ago, I was interviewing Dr. Jyoti Parikh, the director of IRADe, a well-known think tank in New Delhi. Out of the blue, she mentioned that her organization had received the World Bank contract to forecast how much agricultural production India would lose when average global temperature reached 2 C above the pre-industrial average. The contract was confidential at

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH the time, but the World Bank’s chief economist had given these contracts to private think tanks in every major country, probably on the assumption that official predictions were being kept secret in most countries so as not to frighten the citizens. In the end, the predictions commissioned by the World Bank also remained unpublished. Indeed, they are secret even now (because, after all, it is governments that pay for the World Bank). But Parikh told me the prediction for India. At plus 2 C, India would lose 25 per cent of its food production. We are now at about plus 1.3 C worldwide, so shall we say 10 per cent of food production lost now in a bad year? Weather does fluctuate from year to year, of course, but the last four years have been the four warmest on Earth since 1880, when global records become available. Since 2004, India has experienced 11 of its 15 warmest recorded years. The frequency and duration of heat waves in India has increased and is predicted to continue increasing. Global heating isn’t coming. It’s here. It’s not just India, of course. The British Meteorological Office says there is a 10 per cent chance that the average global temperature will exceed plus 1.5 C at least once in the next five years. (That’s the Paris climate change agreement’s “neverexceed” target.) At the current rate of greenhouse gas emissions, it’s going to take a major miracle to avoid hitting plus 2 C within 15 years. At that level, significant numbers of people will be dying of the heat every year and many more will be starving as food production fails, especially in the tropical and subtropical parts of the world. But don’t feel left out if you live in the more temperate parts of the planet. The wildfires have already started again in Canada and California, with predictions they may be even worse than last year. And Europe is getting ready for a heat wave, starting this Friday, that will bring temperatures above 40 C to much of the continent. Nobody gets off free. Gwynne Dyer’s new book is Growing Pains: The Future of Democracy (and Work).

n a few days, we celebrate the 152nd birthday of our nation. Although the British North America Act received the assent of the Queen on March 29, 1867, it came into effect on July 1 of that year. A new country was formed consisting of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. This country was not born out of war, but came about as a result of peaceful negotiations. The fathers of Confederation called the country the “Dominion of Canada.” They chose the term “Dominion,” referring to Psalm 72:8 in the Bible, which reads: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea...” Today, Canada is a very different nation from what it was then. The British North America Act has been replaced by the Canadian Constitution. Canada now has 10 provinces and three territories. Its land mass makes it the second largest country in the world today. We are also among the wealthiest nations of the world and enjoy a remarkable freedom not shared by many. And yet, in spite of all these blessings, many of her citizens complain. Many of us are unhappy with the Federal government regarding regional disparities. We are concerned that the justice system is not working to our liking. We complain about the rate of taxation and of government waste. Our health-care system seems to be in crises. We may not like the current government in power and so feel helpless to change things. Christian people in particular are concerned with our country’s moral drift. We worry about some of our laws. We wonder about a country that seems to have forgotten the gospel of Jesus. How should we think about our governments and our country? How should we get along with our government? Many issues and affairs of our nation discourage us, but as people of faith we must take heart because God is still at work. Imagine what could happen if believers from “sea to sea” committed themselves to pray for the nation and spread the gospel message in every community across this blessed land. Most Canadians are lawabiding citizens. But there are others who are fed up with the unfairness, the corruption, the

unconcerned inefficiencies and are starting to take the law into their own hands. They like the ring of the bell of freedom, wanting to hear the hammer of justice, but are tired of prolonged intrusive bureaucracy. It is certainly true that the government that governs least governs best. That’s why Apostle Paul’s views on authorities and governments, described in Romans 13, surprise them. Speaking to the church at Rome, Paul says, love is the only law we need. His prescription for a smooth relationship between government and its citizens is based on a strange combination of officialdom and love. What does love have to do with paying taxes or staying within the highway speed limits? Everything. Paul does not simply fill up space in his letter, but is serious to encourage the faithful to obey the civil government wholeheartedly. Wherever there are people, there’s bound to be a government of some kind. To Paul, all governments are in power because God has put them there. This means that all governments — despotic dictatorships included — are part of God’s plan and permissive will. Tyrants carry out his purposes along with the saints. Paul had still more reasons for his teachings on obeying civil powers. They apply just as readily today as they did in his time. For example, Paul knew that no man can completely disassociate himself from his community. Being a member of a society brings responsibilities as well as privileges. A person has duties to his nation as well as to his church, even if he does not agree with everything the government stands for or does. Controversies over governments — what kind, how much, how little — have raged since time began. But there is little doubt about the necessity of it.

Without the organization and protection of the state, we would all be forced to live by the law of the jungle — the survival of the strong and the vicious. But perhaps Paul’s most important reason for counselling the Roman church to support the government of the day was because he saw Rome as God’s tool for keeping the lid on an otherwise hopelessly explosive situation. Paul believed in using the peaceful situation that prevailed during Rome’s rule of his time (pax Romana) to the advantage of the gospel. As long as there was peace, Paul saw greater opportunity to spread the gospel. In Paul’s mind, the Roman government was helping him to do his missionary work. For this reason, the wise Christian would always try to help, not hinder, the state. Therefore, Paul gives a refresher course on good citizenship in Romans 13: Obey the laws of the land, cooperate with the authorities, pay your taxes and give honour to high offices. The Christian citizen’s first question is not: What are my rights, or am I getting justice? His first concern is: Am I living by the law of love? The Christian who lives by the law of love does not see authorities as a threat. Nor does he see imperfections or even gross errors in government reasons to riot or demonstrate unlawfully. On the other hand, the Christian is not a bystander in his society. Actually, he should be in the thick of the battle for justice, morality and righteousness. But the Christian operates with a different motive. He seeks justice for all, yes, but justice is primarily a negative concept based on avoiding or preventing the doing of wrongs to others. The law of love goes beyond justice. It seeks the doing of good to others positively. It is the only law a Christian needs. If we are looking for a life verse, we might consider Romans 13:14: Ask the Lord to help you live as you should and don’t make plans to enjoy evil (Living Bible). God keep our land.

Making new memories in quaint Old Quebec JANE CASSIE

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

e discover during our visit to Old Quebec, all you need is a good pair of walking shoes and a yearning to discover this city’s colourful historic past. We head out on a self-guided tour to enjoy historical icons, tasty eateries and charming landmarks. Tightening our shoelaces, we head to the high point on our walk, the Citadelle — a star-shaped fortress atop Cap Diamant that was built to fight off Americans attackers on British Quebec in 1775. “As well as a national historic site, this is still an active military base,” we’re told by Kala, our enthusiastic tour guide. It’s coined the Gibraltar of the America’s due to its strategic cliffside location. Hugging up to the west side of this fortification are the grassy Plains of Abraham where, on September 13, 1759, British General James Wolfe led his men up the nearby steep banks for a blood-shedding battle against the unprepared French. Today, this killing field has been transformed into pastoral-like green space, laced with walking and biking trails. En route to Old Quebec, we stroll the tree-lined Grand Allee where sidewalk cafes hug up to high end shops, partake in the 45-minute tour of the Renaissancestyle Parliament Building, then take time at Parc de l’esplanade, a now flourishing garden that was used for military exercises in the 18th century. Porte St-Louis is the impressive stone entranceway (circa 1693) that leads to Old Upper Town. Beyond is a maze of crooked streets that possess European-like charm. “It’s strange,” my husband Brent says, as we mosey past chichi galleries and a string of yummy-smelling restaurants. “I keep thinking we’re in France, not Canada.” Although this may be because everyone is speaking French, it’s more likely due to the fusion of nouvelle France architecture with this city’s wonderful cuisine So far, during our stay, we’ve feasted on crepes at L’omelette, patisseries at popu-

lar Paillard and tried the Table d’ Hote at Le Louis-Hébert, a menu option that includes hors d’oeuvre, entrée and dessert for one low price. Très bon. Clearly, it’s easy to get sidetracked with all the delicious options. From the main street of St. Louis, we veer left onto Rue des Jardins and discover

the Ursuline Convent. Founded in 1693, it’s the oldest girls’ school on the continent. Today, the monastery still houses 50-or-so nuns, and serves as the General Motherhouse of the Ursuline Sisters. Bear right onto Ste. Anne and you’ll discover the Cathedral of Holy Trinity, erected in 1800. A block farther is the

impressive Basilica-Cathedral NotreDame de Québec — a structure that rose to the rank in 1844. In 1989, it was deemed a National Historical site. The next must-see icon is Chateau Frontenac. Turrets and spires soar from the rooftop of this grand dame to dominate Old Quebec’s skyline. Completed in 1893, this beauty was the brainchild of William Van Horne, resident of Canadian Pacific Railway. Over the years, she has hosted a line-up of renowned guests: Winston Churchill, Alfred Hitchcock and Paul McCartney, just to name a few. For a picturesque panorama of the adjacent St. Lawrence River, we head to nearby Terrase Dufferin, a 425 metre-long boardwalk that divides the upper from lower town. In summer, this hotspot is home to street buskers, in winter, the Toboggan Run and year-round, to the statue of Samuel de Champlain, a French explorer who created the first settlement in 1608. There are two approaches to descend to Lower Town: Take the easy way via the Funicular, an elevator-type ride that quickly scales the steep cliff side. Or, stretch your hamstrings and trek the numerous stairs. The perch on Cotes de la Montagne provides us with a bird’s-eye view of Quartier Petit-Champlain, North America’s oldest commercial district, touting 17th and 18th century architecture. We browse the bistros and boutiques that spill onto cobblestoned streets, peek into Eglise Notre-Dam-des-Victories, North America’s oldest stone church, built in 1688 and pose with Jacques Cartier and other historians in front of 420-squaremetre Trompe-l’oeil mural. Before we hoof it back up the hill we give our feet a much needed rest, renting bicycles instead. Our view from the cycling path bordering the St. Lawrence River is spectacular. With a little pedal power, we enjoy an entirely different perspective of quaint Old Quebec. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper syndicate.

CANADA DAY STAGE SET ‘Mayor of Mazatlan’ will perform on Canada Day in Riverside Park, with a host of other activities planned SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

ob Lamonica has been playing piano professionally for 25 years, but started when he was about six years old. “There was always a piano in my house. It’s just always been a part of my life. Whenever I was bored, I’d pluck around on that thing,” he said. Lamonica, sometimes referred to as the Musical Mayor of Mazatlan, was named instrumentalist of the year in the 2002 Country Music Association Awards, competing in Nashville among other top talent. Since then, his musical prowess has taken him all over, including Mexico, Hawaii and across Canada, and led him to share the stage with some big names in music, including the Jerry Garcia Band, Merl Saunders and Robin Trower. “I have a saying: 88 keys open a lot of doors,” he said. Lamonica has lived in Mazatlan for the past 16 years, performing there seven nights a week, meeting travelers and traveling musicians alike, many from Canada. He and his bandmates typically serve as the backing band for whatever musician has flown in that week to play in the Mexican city. The idea is for the band to be adaptable — and as a trio with Lamonica on keys accompanied by a guitar and drums, they are. “It’s very organic. We’re pretty laid back — pretty easy,” he said.

For the past eight years, Lamonica has done the opposite of what many Canadians do each winter, flying north during the summers to escape the Mazatlan heat. Typically, that voyage means a trip to Riding Mountain National Park north of Brandon, Man. But this year, he said he’s opted to bounce around — and that bouncing includes his Canada Day stop in Kamloops to play the season opening Music in the Park show. He will take the stage with some guests and his fellow bandmates, Ignacio Chavez on guitar and Omar Rios on drums. Performing with Lamonica and company will be Daline Jones. In the past, the jazz, soul and latin singer has served as the lead singer for the renowned Starlight Orchestra and her first recording sessions were for Lionel Richie and the Commodores. She now lives in Los Cabos in Mexico. The stage is set for Canada Day in Riverside Park. The day will begin with a pancake breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. with the opening ceremonies immediately after. Folkfest, featuring an international food fair hosted by the Kamloops Multicultural Society, begins after the opening ceremonies and continues until 5:30 p.m., including music and performances. At 7 p.m., Lamonica and band take to the stage, followed by Ayren and The Kingpins at 8:15 p.m. and The Infectuals at 9:15 p.m.

FURTHER READING

The novel is narrated by Eli, the younger of the two Sisters brothers. He is used to following his elder brother’s lead in their nefarious business dealings. After a time, however, he begins to question his initial assumptions. His brother is a villain, and an unapologetic one at that, aping the iniquitous depravity of his employer, the Commodore. The Commodore has become an exceptionally wealthy man through unscrupulous land speculation, and by way of his unhesitant elimination of any rivals. Eli is not exactly righteous. He is definitely not respectable or proper. No one would con-

sider his conduct saintly or highminded. When compared to his brother, however, or to the Commodore, Eli is a loveably flawed rogue. This vein of goodness is initially reflected in Eli’s desire for fairness, and an equal share in the profits. Further mining through the many challenging situations presented by their assigned quest reveal an unexpected depth of empathy and character in Eli, and consequent doubts about his life’s path thus far.

His attitude towards his horse, Tub, truly shows this transition. He is initially scornful of his mount, the one designated to him after his brother has taken the better horse. In one encounter along the way poor Tub loses an eye helping to defend against a bear attack. Charlie advises Eli to sell him to the slaughterhouse, especially after they find a superior horse abandoned on the trail. Eli instead chooses to sell the found horse, indicating that Tub’s service requires a reciprocated understanding. This burgeoning morality is one reason this novel is regarded as an example of the picaresque. That and the many examples of gallows humour. Eli may be rough around the edges, and come from a poor upbringing, but a core of moral fortitude has nonetheless survived the dehumanizing endeavours he has participated in. Charlie and Eli have been dispatched by the Commodore to hunt down and terminate the life of one Hermann Kermit Warm. The Commodore claims that the man has stolen from him, which the brothers determine to be untrue after many adventures on the road. Charlie remains determined to carry out

the Commodore’s will, but Eli’s doubts are redoubled — both about their employer, and about his brother’s ability to be the primary decision maker. Warm himself has developed a chemical formula which causes placer gold to glow brightly when exposed to it. This miraculous concoction is the real reason that the Commodore wants Warm dead. Eventually the brothers discover Warm, and Morris (the man sent to watch him) at their claim. Instead of assassinating him, the brothers are convinced to ally themselves to Warm’s cause. What follows include scenes of surreal beauty, heartbreaking tragedy and black, black comedy. Will the brothers survive the transformation? Catharsis is usually painful and occasionally fatal, but this journey must be completed once it has been undertaken. Both the literal journey to California and back home, and the spiritual journey from unconscionable scoundrels to what they will become.

Squash program for at-risk youth endangered MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three kids burned all sorts of energy inside Court 2 at No Limits Fitness on Wednesday, thrashing the squash ball off the wall while maintaining conversation in a unique form of multi-tasking not normally associated with the sport. Dave Clutton oversees the River City Squash after-school program, designed to serve low-income families and at-risk youth. He kept one eye on the madness while speaking to KTW. “It’s not important for them to be good at squash,” said Clutton, also president of the Kamloops Squash Association. “The intent is to engage them with the sport, connect with them and gradually build a relationship.” The program’s controlled chaos is scheduled to be snuffed out along with the courts when renovations planned at No Limits begin at the end of July. No Limits’ ownership group has new plans for the space, expansions and enhancements designed to attract customers

and improve business. “Our biggest revenue is the gym and we’ve got to grow the gym,” said No Limits part-owner Maria Maywood, noting the ownership group has tried for years to make the sport work at the North Shore gym. “It’s unfortunate for the amount of space they [the courts] take up, it doesn’t give us the revenue. That’s what it comes down to.” Danica Silver, a learning assistance and resource teacher at Brock Middle School, is among those hopeful No Limits will reconsider. She is the teacher-sponsor for the group of students that has taken part in the program for the past three years. “Fetal alcohol syndrome, behaviour disorders, autism, ADHD kids … on the court, the kids feel victorious, like a version of their best self,” said Silver, who volunteers as a program coach on Thursdays. “I see that when they come to school the next day. “They get to see a different side of me and vice-versa. The next day at school, we have camaraderie.

KAMLOOPS DL#8989

“As a result of that, the kids’ attendance is improving and they have a sense of belonging and someone caring about them.” Groups from Arthur Hatton and A.E. Perry elementary schools and Brock Middle School each attended the program on a weekly basis this school year, with about 32 students participating. “In some cases, I literally think it’s as simple as there’s no one at home if they went straight home from school,” said Adrian Conradi, a volunteer coach. “Here, there are a couple of adults who care for them and want them to have a good time. It would be a great shame to lose this for these kids.” Added Silver: “Some of these kids don’t have a lot of food in the fridge and are left to their own devices. Some of the kids who might have ended up in the smoke pit as a sense of belonging are making really good choices for themselves.” Clutton picks up students after school, provides snacks and drives them home when squash sessions end. “I can do other things,” said

Clutton, as an errant shot flew over the back wall and students cackled. “I can go back to forestry, but I’m committed to making this program work. “We are looking for kids who wouldn’t necessarily have this opportunity to do an organized activity after school and to give that opportunity every week. It’s a safe place for them to be.” The program — free and open to a variety of students, not strictly at-risk youth — begins accepting students in Grade 4 and the plan was to stay with those willing until high school graduation. “It’s focused on squash, so we need squash courts,” Clutton said. “We’ll do everything we can to keep courts or find new courts.” No Limits part-owner Justin Grover spoke to KTW earlier this month. “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. Conradi told a story about a boy who could only use one of his hands, but learned to serve by using that hand to toss the ball and hit it in the same motion. “He was so absolutely driven to succeed at this game,” Conradi said. “He actually could become a great competitive squash player and get joy out of the game. It feels like these opportunities are being taken away if we can’t find a solution.” “My wife keeps reminding me after dinner, ‘You’re always telling some kind of kid-at-squash story with a smile on your face.’ “I hope we can keep it going.”

‘It’s a fun time to be down at the park’ MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Wayne Harper’s memories of the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament date back to its origins. “I’ve been involved since Day 1, for 46 years, serving beer in the stands in the old Riverside Park,” said Harper, the tournament’s president as it heads into Year 46. “Kamloops looks forward to it every year. It’s good ball.” The 2019 tournament runs from Thursday, July 4, to Sunday, July 7, at Norbrock Stadium. Harper and KIBT community sponsorship co-ordinator Norm Daley were among speakers at a sponsors’ dinner on Wednesday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, where the competition’s return to eight teams was toasted. “It’s a fun time to be down at the park,” Daley said. “The atmosphere at Norbrock in Kamloops on a hot summer day, having a few pops and a hot dog, is just so much fun.” Six teams were in attendance last year, in part because of the cancellation of the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament due to flooding. Teams such as the Alaska Goldpanners deemed it

financially irresponsible to travel south for one tournament alone. Daley has heard comments from patrons about expanding the field to more than eight teams. “People talk about, well, make it bigger and expand and go to two

facilities, but that more than doubles the number of volunteers and everything you need,” Daley said. “I think eight is the right number. For the 50th anniversary, things might change, but right now, eight is the right

number to work with.” Signed on to play this year are the Seattle Studs, Northwest Honkers of Seattle, Coquitlam Angels, Calgary Dinos, Alaska Goldpanners, Edmonton Cubs, Kamloops Sun Devils and last

year’s champions, the Everett Merchants. “It’s a fantastic calibre of ball,” Harper said. “I’ve had people like John Olerud, who back in ’88 was the MVP.” The Merchants edged the Studs 6-5 in 12 innings in the 2018 final, ending Seattle’s seven-year run of titles. Kamloops is slated to play at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, against Calgary and Northwest, respectively, and at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday versus Seattle. On Sunday, semifinals get underway at 9 a.m. and noon and the championship game is scheduled for 3 p.m. For the complete schedule, go online to kibt.ca. The 2019 tournament prize purse is $20,000 — $10,000 for first, $6,000 for second and $2,000 each for losing semifinalists. Tickets are available online at kibt.ca and will be for sale at the stadium entrance. Single-game tickets are $5 and tournament passes are $40. Tournament passes are also available online at kibt.ca. Daley ballparked 5,000 for an attendance number in 2018. “Norbrock is a classic venue,” Daley said.

FINISHING FIRST The under-14 Kamloops Blaze girls placed first in Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League playdowns in Salmon Arm on the weekend to claim a berth at the Provincial B Cup, which will run from July 4 to July 7 in Burnaby. Kamloops blanked Kelowna 2-0 and edged Shuswap FC 2-1. Brooke-lyn Buttazzoni, Alexa Parken, Amberly Adema and Lolita Persad tallied goals for the Blaze in support of goalkeeper Rhiannon Nesbitt. Persad’s marker came in extra time to push Kamloops to victory over Shuswap. SNEAKING IN One win and one loss in TOYSL playdown action on the weekend in Salmon Arm was enough to see the under-18 Kamloops Blaze through to the Provincial B Cup, which will run from July 4 to July 7 in Burnaby. Kamloops edged Kelowna United 4-3 and fell 4-1 to Penticton. Emily Clark (2G), Fiona Brisco, Kendra McDonald and Anika Lee Fraser racked up goals for the Blaze, who went with Sadie Moyer between the pipes.

BRIEFS dug deep to rally and knock off Penticton 3-2 in Interior playdown action in Kelowna on Sunday. That victory, along with a 4-2 triumph over Vernon on Saturday, allowed the Blaze to claim a berth at the provincial championship, scheduled to run from July 4 to July 7 in Prince George. Eric Swaine (3), Hayden Koppes (3) and Sebastian Myram bulged the old onion bag for Kamloops, which went with Alessandro Lizzi between the pipes.

Kamloops did enough to earn a spot at the Provincial B Cup, which will run from July 4 to July 7 in Burnaby. The Blaze dispatched Vernon United 3-1 on Saturday and fell 3-2 to Kelowna on Sunday.

Parker Cameron, Ryder Litke and Shale Maurice recorded top10 finishes in their respective age divisions.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Ann Burant

Roberta Ruth Baker

1926 - 2019 It is with deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our dear mother Ann on June 12, 2019. Mom was predeceased by her loving husband Martin Burant, her parents Simeon and Eudochia (Dora) Harmatski, sister Mary and brother John. She is survived by her daughter Dianne (Bob), sons Ronald, Roger and Russell (Mickey) and her grandchildren Melissa (Mike) and Sydney, sister-In-law Helen Harmatski and many nieces and nephews. Ann was born in Wroxton, SK and moved to Yorkton for school and work. Mom and Dad met on the dance floor, he “cut-in” while she was dancing with her best friend. It was love at first sight. Dad was on leave from the army and so handsome in his uniform. They married after he returned home from WWII in 1944. They moved to Regina to raise their family where they remained until retirement. Another move came in 1987 to Kamloops, to be near their children. Mom was an avid gardener and loved to be out in her yard, sharing the bounty of her garden. She was a proud Ukrainian and her cabbage rolls, perogies and borscht were some of her specialties. There was always music playing at home, spiritual, country or Ukrainian were her favourites. Pets were always a part of her life as well as dancing, spending time with good friends and playing bingo. She often spoke of her job as a waitress at Frank’s Cafe in Regina with pride and fond memories. As mom’s health started to deteriorate she was always positive and never complained, still wanting to joke around and share a laugh with everyone. Mom loved the Lord and always had a “GOD BLESS YOU” for one and all. Our sincere thanks to Kamloops Seniors Village nurses and care aides in 1A, Dr. Peter Gorman, RIH Emergency, 4-North doctors and nurses for their compassionate care of our mom. A private family service will celebrate Mom’s life. We would also like to thank Pastor Steve Filyk for his guidance and those who helped arrange Mom’s service at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian church. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services Kamloops.

In Loving Memory Of Deanne Genevieve Wheeler

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Roberta Ruth Baker after a year and a half battle with cancer on March 14, 2019 with family by her side. Roberta always had a positive attitude and handled everything that came at her with dignity and grace.

March 9, 1988 – December 30, 2014

Roberta is survived by her sweetie Doug Hoas, her children Jason and Sean and families and stepson Sean and his wife Lyssa. She also leaves behind her three sisters Susan, Penny, Nancy and their families which includes numerous nieces and nephews.

David (Doc) George Hughes April 4, 1953 – April 28, 2019

Roberta was predeceased by her parents Fred and Ruby Amor and her husband Murray.

David will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Roberta loved spending time at her “happy place” which was Magna Bay on the Shuswap. She always enjoyed being there but the last seven years of retirement were her favourite. She loved potlucks, sitting by the fire, the company of friends and playing cards. She was lovingly nicknamed “Miss Rules.”

Deanne was laid to rest at the Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops on May 15, 2019.

Roberta was kind and loving and was always welcoming to anyone who stopped in for a bevvie. There will be a Celebration of Life in her honour on Sunday, June 30, 2019 at her happy place, Magna Bay Resort starting at 3:00 pm. Please join us and bring your memories and stories of Roberta.

Will Love you Always Mom & Dad

Lawrence Schrader

February 1, 1932 – June 20, 2019

Rick was born in Vancouver and lived in Port Alberni, Kamloops, Calgary and Whiskey Creek on Vancouver Island, where he bought property in 1989, calling it a little bit of heaven where he could unwind and relax. Rick enjoyed canoeing, camping, fishing (with his grandad), fixing cars and fixing anything else broken. He loved spending time with his friends, telling stories and creating art. Rick was an architectural glass artist and a master craftsman. His work can be seen on display at The Vancouver International Airport, The Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver, Fluor Industries in Calgary, BC Biomedical Labs in Surrey and in private homes and businesses throughout the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Kamloops and Texas. His other commissioned works include numerous glass trophy’s, a wonderful metal May Pole (where children can interact) and glass sculpture in Leigh Square in Port Coquitlam. Rick also worked as the Art director at The Enchanted Forest and really enjoyed his time there. It is with great sadness that we are saying Good Bye. Rick will be missed, loved and never forgotten. He truly was “one of a kind”. Please join us for a Celebration of Life on June 30, 2019 at 1:00 pm at Seventh Day Adventist Church, 364 Fortune Dr., Kamloops, BC.

We are deeply saddened with the loss of our beloved son Richard (Rick) Thompson on June 7, 2019. Left to mourn his passing are his loving parents Roger and Shirley Thompson and his loving brother Brian Thompson.

Celebration of Life

Guy was born in Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec and raised in Montreal with his siblings Jaqueline, Marcel, Pierrette, Charlotte, Albert, Jack and Johnny. At an early age, he joined the RCAF and was stationed at St. Hubert’s Air Force base in Montreal, where he met the love of his life Peggy. They were married after leaving the Air Force, then moved to Halifax where their first child Linda was born. After a couple years, Peggy felt the call to come back to BC and be closer to her mother, the late Mary Darwin. They moved to Vancouver where their first son Claude was born. After moving onto Nelson, Revelstoke and Penticton, they eventually settled in Kamloops where their second son Dean was born. With their family now complete, Guy and Peg built a wonderful life in Kamloops where they went on to meet many wonderful lifetime friends. Guy worked his entire career for CNCP Telecommunications, where he was liked and respected by colleagues. Guy was a wonderful husband, father and family man always being there for anyone in need. He was a community contributor, having coached hockey and baseball for many years. He was also known around the neighborhood for building a backyard hockey rink where many games were played. With help from his brother Jack he built a swimming pool in the backyard, where again all were welcome to come and enjoy. Guy and Peggy were avid golfers and enjoyed many years with their friends at KGGC. Dad had a jovial spirit, crazy sense of humour, and kind heart. He will be forever missed, always loved, never forgotten. The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff on B1 at The Hamlets for their enduring professionalism, love and kindness. You made our dad’s final years as comfortable as could possibly be. We are forever grateful. A celebration of Guy and Peggy’s life will be held in early fall, details to follow. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Iris Louise Hetherington (née Taylor) 1936 - 2019 Iris slipped peacefully away in the early hours of June 8, 2019 with her daughters at her side. Iris was born on the family farm outside of Richard, Saskatchewan on June 9, 1936 to George and Beatrice Taylor (Banks). She moved to New Westminster in her teens, where she met her future husband Robert while attending high school. She was the love of his life and they were married in New Westminster on June 28, 1957. Diverted from their Yellowstone Park honeymoon plans by a natural disaster, she mentioned how pretty she had thought Kamloops was. After many years of travelling to and from New Westminster to fish and vacation, the decision was made to move in 1963 and began raising their family of two daughters. Iris worked her way through high school while waitressing at the Cariboo Hotel Café and graduated from Burnaby South. After graduation, she worked in the New Westminster school district office until the move to Kamloops. She then worked for 20+ years in the office for Weyerhaeuser Canada, the position from which she ultimately retired after two successful fights against cancer. Iris’ spare time was spent hunting with dad, salmon fishing at Pender Harbour, gardening, watching the Blue Jays, supporting the Kamloops Target Sports Association’s antique show and sale, dressing up in period costume for cowboy action shooting events, visiting with friends and family, catching a play or a figure skating show, watching Spruce Meadows show jumping, or taking a quick road trip or adventure anywhere!

On June 6, 2019, our dear mother, gran, and M.I.L., Coleen Elizabeth Hansen, passed away peacefully in her home in Kamloops, BC, at the age of 72 years. Survived by her loving family and dedicated community she will be missed and remembered always.

We appreciate all those that cared for our family during this season.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. How are you going to pay today?

Coleen’s final days were a heart swelling adventure, reflecting a full life lived in Kamloops, Vancouver, Bowen Island, Australia, and Papua New Guinea.

A. With your permission, I’ll get personal, about an event that led me into funeral service. It was December 1, 1998. My Dad had died suddenly the day before. I was the executor, totally clueless, sitting in the funeral home, when the funeral director said “how are you going to pay today?” That question was a game changer.

From Oz, to York House, to table tops at UVIC, the jungles of the South Pacific, the pebbled beach of Smugglers Cove, cowgirls and horses in the sagebrush, all the while being the best mom ever and a very good friend to many - it was nothing short of a great adventure. She has touched so many ... our hearts are broken. A Celebration of Life and Memorial Service will be held in September 2019 in Kamloops, details to

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS

Kamloops Airport flying high after 80 years TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

amloops Airport is celebrating its 80th Anniversary in 2019. For some context, the airport opened in 1939, the year the Second World War began after Germany, under Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland. Appropriately, there will be two bombers from that same era at the airport next week as part of the anniversary celebrations, along with a re-dedication of the CF-5 Freedom Five Aircraft Fighter. “We wanted to take the opportunity to coordinate some special events around the 80th anniversary,” Kamloops Airport managing director Ed Ratuski said. The public re-dedication ceremony for the CF-5 will take place on Canada Day at 10 a.m., with local dignitaries including Mayor Ken Christian and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar. The display featuring the CF-5 aircraft was originally installed in 1995. It was moved to its new location inside the airport’s traffic circle by A&T Project Developments. The Second World War bombers — featuring both a B-17 and a B-25 bomber — are visiting courtesy of the Commemorative Air Force and will be at the airport from July 1 to July 8 (see story on page B4). Along with these celebrations, Kamloops Airport will see the return of Air Canada’s Rouge service offering direct, non-stop flights to Toronto on Thursdays. The program ran successfully last year, but its 2019 launch was delayed following issues with Boeing’s 737 Max 8 planes. “A lot of airports have lost their Rouge service as a result of that, but Kamloops didn’t,” Ratuski said. Traffic continues to grow at Fulton Field and Ratuski said he is looking forward to seeing second-quarter numbers during the first week of July. Year-to-date and year-over-year passenger numbers are up between nine and 10 per cent. “That’s a sustained period of growth for us,” he said. “And it’s actually quite substantial growth.” That continued growth means further minor upgrades to the airport to meet safety standards, which includes adding another fire truck and additional emergency staff to meet aviation requirements.

Airport has major impact on city tourism Passengers come off the inaugural Air Canada Rouge Toronto-Kamloops flight in June 2018. That service wil resume next week amid statistics that show passenger numbers are up at Kamloops Airport. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

With tourism numbers continuing to rise in Kamloops, Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis points to Kamloops Airport has having a significant impact on those statistics. “The airport is a very big part of tourism in Kamloops,” she said. “It’s great to see the numbers go up over the year.” However, even with tourists and business travellers coming through Fulton Field, DeSantis said it is important to ensure the city continues to make use of the facility as much as possible. As more travellers come through the airport, the number

and types of available flights will increase and improve, as well. And the more that travellers look to airports in Kelowna or even Vancouver for their travel needs, the harder it will be to get similar services in Kamloops, DeSantis said. “I love the direction

the airport is going. I love the services we have there. They do an amazing job of marketing,” she said. “The Vantage Group that runs our airport is global and that really benefits Kamloops in a big way because we get a lot more resources.” The Vantage Airport

Group manages airports around the world, from the North Peace Regional Airport in Fort St. John to La Guardia Airport in New York City. DeSantis points to charter flights and flights from lesserknown airlines as services she hopes to see come to the Kamloops

Airport in the future. She would also like to see international travellers heading straight to Kamloops to begin their adventures, rather than travelling through Vancouver. “It’s an interesting concept, as opposed to hitting Vancouver or Calgary, where the

airports are so busy,” DeSantis said. “Kamloops is a nice option for those international travellers to come into a smaller and more welcome airport — and be in and out fairly quickly.” Looking ahead through 2019 and into 2020, DeSantis is excited about the

direction local tourism is heading. “We’ve had some amazing write-ups in some quite large magazines,” she said. “We’ve had a renowned golf personality in Kamloops [pro golfer Louis Oosthuizen, who has family in Kamloops, practised at Tobiano prior to playing the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in California) that just could not believe the facilities. “We’re kind of a little known gem and more and more people are looking to littleknown places.”

Fulton was the first commander of the famous RCAF 419 Squadron and became one of the most decorated and revered Kamloopsians to ever serve in the Second World War. Fulton was born in 1912 and acquired the nickname “Moose” during his childhood. After attending high school in Kamloops, Fulton went to the Boeing School of Aeronautics in Oakland, Calif. There, in 1931 at the age of 19, he earned his pilot’s licence. In 1934, Fulton joined the Royal Air Force and was commissioned in March of 1935 as a pilot officer. He was posted to a bomber squadron in Egypt for training and was promoted to flying officer. In 1936, he returned to England, where he was stationed. In 1938, Fulton served his first tour as a bomber pilot. In September of 1939, he was promoted to flight lieutenant as a test pilot for the Experimental Section, Royal Aeronautical Establishment at Farnborough. Fulton then served as a bomber pilot with the 99 and 311 RAF squadrons, participating in 20 raids over enemy territory in the first year of the war. He did this from June to October 1940 and was named squad leader on Sept. 1, 1940. Moose received the Distinguished Flying Cross in September of 1940 for his actions in a raid on a marshalling yard in Brussels with the 149 Squadron of the RAF. On the night of Sept. 15 and into the morning of Sept. 16, Fulton and his crew crossed the Belgium border at about 9,000 feet and attempted to attack their target. The aircraft showed signs of icing and the starboard engine lost power

and stopped. Squad leader Fulton turned for home, dropping to 2,000 feet near Orfordness. The lifeless engine started up again at this height and Fulton decided to finish what he started. He came from the southwest, but found conditions too poor and again turned back. He retreated to the Belgian coast, pinpointed himself and tried a different approach to Brussels from Antwerp. The weather was clear and Fulton and crew approached the target, but were met by anti-aircraft fire, which kept the planes at bay. Fulton increased their altitude to make the run at a greater height. Cloud temporarily covered the target, so they waited a half-hour before making two successful attacks from 11,000 feet. They destroyed their target despite constant setbacks. This earned Fulton the Distinguished Flying Cross. Fulton was reposted to Farnborough as a test pilot, testing aircraft, engines and night flying in England during 1941. This earned

him the Air Force Cross in 1942. In December of 1941, Fulton became the first wing commander of a new bomber group— the 419 Squadron. As commander, he served for seven months and completed more than 30 bombing raids. The 419 Squadron formed at Mildenhall, Suffolk, England, on Dec. 15, 1941, becoming the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 17th bomber squadron formed overseas. Pilots flew Canadian-built Lancaster aircraft, along with Halifax and Wellington, on bombing raids. Under Fulton’s command, the squad took on the nickname “Moose” and, in the spring of 1942, Fulton led the squad on a devastating attack on the Baltic port of Rostock. On a return flight from a successful raid on the Kiel Naval Base in April of 1942, Fulton’s aircraft was hit by a Messerschmitt 110 Night Fighter at 1,500 feet. The port engine was knocked out and one of its propellers shot away. The rear gunner was wounded, while the hydraulic system and many

instruments were damaged and unserviceable. The rear turret had also been shattered. But Fulton managed to get his crew home safely, flying about 118 miles in a damaged aircraft. This earned him a Distinguished Service Order. Midway through 1942, Moose had been in nearly 60 missions. In the overnight hours of July 28/29, he made his final run. On a return flight from a raid on Hamburg, Fulton’s aircraft was hit by German night fighters, suffering substantial damage. The last recorded message from his plane was “attacked Night Fighters, wounded, 500 feet going in.” The plane was last seen crossing the French coast over the English Channel. The body of one of his crew members washed up along the French coast, but Fulton was never found. On Aug. 4, 1942, Fulton was reported missing in action by the Air Ministry, the same day he was awarded his Distinguished Service

Order. He was 29 years old. In April of 1943, Fulton was officially listed as “presumed dead. Kamloops had lost a tremendous war hero. His squadron would go on to serve in the remainder of the war, becoming one of the most honoured squads, with 194 decorations. The group was disbanded in Yarmouth, N.S., on Sept. 5, 1945. As for the relationship with the Moose Squadron and his hometown of Kamloops, it began with a Feb. 11, 1943, city council meeting. The airfield at Kamloops Airport was named after John Fulton on May 29, 1944. That November, the official crest of 419 Squadron was revealed. It showed a charging moose with the Cree Motto “Moose Aswayita” (Beware the Moose). Though the original Moose Squadron and its auxiliary were disbanded after the war, the Royal Canadian Air Force 419 Tactical Fighter Training Squadron in Cold Lake, Alta., has adopted the “Moose” moniker and the crest. The squadron maintains a close relationship with the City of Kamloops and its members visit the Tournament Capital often. — This story was written with the help of myriad files in the Kamloops Museum and Archives.

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS Flying Legends landing at Kamloops Airport

KAMLOOPS AIRPORT

A piece of history will arrive in Kamloops this Canada Day, stay for a week, then take to the skies once more on July 8, perhaps never to return. Two Second World War bombers — a B-17 and a B-25 — will be at Kamloops Airport next week as part of the Flying Legends of Victory Tour organized by the Commemorative Air Force, a non-profit group from Dallas, Tex. Both of the planes are still capable of taking flight, 75 years after the war ended. According to Monte Dauncey of the Kamloops Flying Club, the B-17 was the backbone of the United States’ Eighth Air Force during the war, flying to Germany from England on bombing raids. The B-25 was also used extensively during the war. The Commemorative Air Force’s visit to Kamloops is one of only two planned trips to Canada this year, with the other visit scheduled for Vernon. While the planes are in town, they will be available for public tours from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on July 1, 5, 6 and 7 and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 2, 3 and 4. Visitors can also choose to do more than just tour the aerial artifacts of history.

Those interested in taking to the skies can schedule a flight in either plane through the Kamloops Flying Club’s website at kamloopflyingclub. com. Dauncey recommends anyone interested in taking to the skies register in advance by clicking on the blue bar at the top of the Kamloops Flying Club’s website. “This is an extraordinary opportunity to come out and see these planes,” he said. “We’re not certain we’ll see them again.” Members of the Kamloops Flying Club will be on hand to ensure safe passage between the entrance and the location of the planes. There will be an entrance fee of $2 per person or $5 per family to get in to see the planes. Standard tour fees are $15 per person or $25 per family, but may vary. Booking a flight will cost a bit more, with a trip in the B-17 bombardier’s navigator seat costing $850 and a ride in the gunner/radio seats set at $425. A flight in the B-25 flight deck/ jump seat will cost $650, while a trip in its waist gunner seat will be $325. All money raised goes to covering travel and maintenance costs for the planes.

The Maid in the Shade B-25 bomber will be at Kamloops Airport all next week as part of the Flying Legends tour. The planes were last in Kamloops in the summer of 2017.

Celebrating the True North, Strong and Free

Kamloops is hosting its annual Canada Day celebration on July 1 in Riverside Park! Join the celebration with a full day of culture, arts, music, and fun. Discover all of the exciting festivities, Art in the Park artisans, Multicultural Society booths, and community vendors! The festivities kick off with the Lions Club pancake breakfast from 7-10:30 am. Afterwards, spend the day wandering through the park, discovering local artisans, enjoying multicultural food, cooling off in the beer garden, and taking in a wide range of performances. The day will be capped off with a stunning fireworks display.

In order to reduce the landfill waste generated by this event, the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club (KCKC) has volunteered to operate two recycling stations in the park (next to the beer garden and food trucks). These stations will have containers for compost, plastic, paper, and waste, which will be sorted by the KCKC volunteers and City staff from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Do your part to reduce waste. Consider taking alternate transportation to Riverside Park. Transit will be FREE on July 1. Buses will operate with Saturday-level service, and select routes will have extended operating hours.

Another option is to hop on your bike! Pedal Parking is available. This supervised, by-donation bike lock-up is hosted by the Kamloops Brain Injury Association. This year, there will be a new addition to the Pedal Parking scene—a wacky trike racing course will be available for challengers to race through the inflatable arches and speed to the finish line! The City extends a special thank you to the Kamloops Arts Council and the Kamloops Multicultural Society for organizing the Canada Day festivities and to BCLC for sponsoring this event.
