Driver who killed motorcyclist gets absolute discharge

PATHWAY PROVES POPULAR

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The family of Brian Watson, a Shuswap man run down and killed while riding his motorcycle near Chase three years ago, is angry after learning the man who struck Watson with his truck has been released from custody without any courtimposed conditions. Raymond Edward Swann, 58, has been granted an absolute discharge by the B.C. Review Board following a psychiatric assessment to determine his risk to re-offend. In February, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley ruled Swann could not be held criminally responsible for killing Watson due to a mental disorder. Watson, 60, was killed while riding on Squilax-Anglemont Road on April 3, 2016. “I am speechless at this point,” Watson’s wife, Ila Watson, told KTW in an email regarding the B.C. Review Board’s decision. “We have had to go through hell the past three years being hopeful justice would prevail.” In April, Dley ordered Swann to undergo a risk assessment before receiving a disposition from the B.C. Review Board.

Xget’tem’ Trail is on pace to become one of the city’s busiest paths. In the first three months of 2018, the 1.5-kilometre paved multi-use trail, which opened in November, saw nearly 19,000 visits. Staff are projecting 100,000 to 120,000 annual visitors by the end of the year, when factoring in warmer weather. “That trail now is one of the most widely used pathways in the city,” City of Kamloops parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam told KTW. “It’s been a huge success.” The city tracks usage of 14 trails throughout Kamloops with EcoCounter devices that utilize infrared technology to count people. The devices blend into the natural environment and are placed in hidden locations near the top or bottom of trail heads. The devices provide data to the city that is used to better understand the maintenance needs of city parks. However, Xget’tem’ Trail’s Eco-Counter system is unique in that it differentiates between pedestrians and cyclists. Putnam said those stats will help the city with future urban planning.

The review board rendered its decision on June 28, stating it had concerns and was left with unanswered questions — noting it was still a mystery whether Swann intended to collide with Watson, believing he was a threat, or whether in his confused state he simply didn’t see him on the road. The fact no neuropsychological testing was done to rule out or confirm a cognitive disorder, the rarity of someone having a rapid onset of symptoms at Swann’s age and the randomness of the incident were noted concerns. “It was of particular concern that Mr. Swann acted out against a seemingly random target so soon after the onset of his psychosis; there is no evidence that the victim was an identified target,” reads the board’s reasons for disposition. The Crown stressed that without definitive evidence of Swann’s intentions, the review board can have no confidence it won’t happen again. In making its decision, the board relied on the testimony of a Dr. Sunette Lessing — a courtappointed psychiatrist who was one of four experts who testified during the trial.

Many questions over ride-hailing in B.C. MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The British Columbia government has set up a series of rules and regulations as it opens the door to ride-hailing applications for the service on Sept. 3. New regulations require transportation network companies to pay $5,000 annual licence fees, charge 30 cents per ride on vehicles that don’t have access for disabled passengers and have drivers possess class 4 (commercial) licences and wear seatbelts at all times. The government said an annual inspection is needed if the vehicle has logged 40,000 kilometres in the previous year, vehicles can’t be older than 10 years and illegal operators could face fines of $100,000. Criminal record checks for drivers are also required. Ride-hailing companies will need to apply for permission to operate through the Passenger Transportation Board, which will determine the number of licences, routes and fare structure later this summer. The PTB is consulting with B.C. taxi companies in eight locations around the province over the next two weeks.

Kami Cabs general manager Simar Singh told KTW he is unable to comment at this time, referring calls to Mohan Kang, president of the BC Taxi Association, of which Kami Cabs is a member. Kang said a consultation meeting is set for Kamloops this Thursday and will include companies from Kamloops, Sorrento, Merritt, Chase, Clearwater and Barriere discussing fleet size, boundaries and rates with the PTB. Kang said the taxi industry is advocating for an even playing field with competitive fares and stressing that ride-hailing is not needed throughout all of B.C. “It doesn’t work in small places,” he said, noting demand in Metro Vancouver is much higher than in Prince Rupert. “The small mom and pop operations have to be financially viable.” Kang believes the government will keep the association’s concerns in mind, but noted the full impact of ride-hailing on the taxi industry in B.C. won’t be known until the PTB’s consultation is complete. Kamloops North-Thompson MLA Peter Milobar, who is a member of the all-party committee, described the lack of details surrounding supply, boundaries and fares two months ahead of applications being accepted as “ludicrous.”

He said he is disappointed the government is maintaining a class 4 licence requirement. Milobar said class 4 licences create a barrier to the part-time drivers known to pursue ridehailing work and would prefer both they and taxi drivers be permitted to operate with a class 5 licence. In B.C., taxi drivers need a class 4 license, which is also required of anyone who drives a bus or ambulance. “The reality is the government should have been also looking at modernizing the taxi industry,” Milobar said. The all-party committee recommended ridesharing operators not be required to obtain class 4 licences. Kamloops’ Bryce Herman, who is president and CEO of Advance Hospitality Consulting, said Monday’s announcement “is a step in the right direction,” but he remains concerned about ridehailing restrictions. “The shared economy is really designed to be a more simplified approach so that a person with a clean driving record with a standard license is able to do it,” Herman said.

Psychiatrist feels Swann poses low risk to re-offend From A1

WATER CONSERVATION OUTDOOR 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: • Use a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle when watering plants or washing your car. • Use a broom to sweep your driveway and sidewalk. • Cover your swimming pool to reduce evaporation. • Check for leaks in pipes and hoses. • Use a rain barrel to collect rain water for outdoor plant use. • Avoid ornamental water features and free-flowing water toys. • Plant drought-resistant plants and ground coverings.

Lessing was of the opinion Swann posed a low risk to re-offend in a violent manner, telling the board Swann’s symptoms were in remission, he was compliant with treatment and he hasn’t experienced any issues since he was released from hospital after the April 2016 collision. Swann was also found not to have current or historical issues that would predispose him to act in a violent manner. “The case law is clear, where the only evidence before the board is that there is no significant threat, there must be an absolute discharge,” stated the board’s disposition. At trial, court heard Swann and his wife were visiting a friend when Swann he abruptly left, driving away from the home in an erratic manner. He stopped his truck in the middle of a road at one point and threw

At about 2 p.m. she came across a motorcycle and helmet on a lawn and saw Swann and his damaged truck parked at a nearby supermarket. His wife told Swann he had been involved in a collision and Swann asked if she had seen “the blue van and the men with guns.” He drove off again, later phoning police from a friend’s house and tell-

nection with Watson’s death, but that charge was later reduced to criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Prior to the B.C. Review Board’s decision, Swann was under a condition prohibiting him from operating a motor vehicle. “Having granted Mr. Swann an absolute discharge, the board is unable to make any further order concerning his drivers licence,” the board’s disposition reads. “Our hope is the Crown will take the necessary steps to ensure that Mr. Swann’s driving privileges are appropriately reviewed.”

“It’s such a unique project and we wanted a more robust one,” Putnam said. “Just to see how many people are on bikes versus pedestrians. We’re able to accurately determine that.” During the first three months of this year, most Xget’tem’ visitors were pedestrians (nearly 16,000) and the other 3,000 were cyclists.

ing them he had run somebody down. In interviews following the incident, Swann said he felt strange and afraid that he was going to be killed. During trial, the Crown argued Swann’s confused state of mind was caused by the sleep deprivation, heavy drug use and drug withdrawal he had been experiencing, as opposed to a disease of the mind. Psychiatrists who examined Swann agreed he was not in his usual mental state, but disagreed on the cause. Swann was initially charged with seconddegree murder in con-

Though trailblazing may sound adventurous, it in fact destroys sensitive ecosystems, including native plants, trees and wildlife habitat. “Any time you go off the trail and disturb that area, it takes years and years and years to recover,” Putnam said.

Council gives nod to RIH permit JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops council on Tuesday unanimously approved a development permit for the nine-storey, patient-care tower at Royal Inland Hospital. Mayor Ken Christian said the project is the largest building permit the city has ever issued, an addition to the hospital he said is “sorely needed.” “RIH has served this region nobly,” he said. “But its time has come.” Christian said Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton have new hospitals and, in 2022, Kamloops will be added to that list. He said a rooftop heliport will eliminate the need for emergency ambulance transfer. The patient-care tower, being constructed behind the three-yearold clinical services building, will include 42 underground parking spaces and 157 surface parking spots and a rooftop heliport. The $417-million expansion is expected to be completed by spring 2022, opening that summer. Interior Health interim chief project officer David Fowler said the project remains on schedule. “The footings are being poured

and the columns are starting to come out of the ground,” he said. “So, that’s a good thing. From there, they go up into the full superstructure, which is basically the concrete tower. They do their permits in stages, which is typical for a building this size. It allows them to get going on the construction early.” According to Interior Health, the building will be 26,723 square metres in size and contain respiratory, mental-health, maternal and child and surgical services, as well as retail space and a main entryway into the hospital. Fowler noted the significance of single-patient rooms — a mix of surgical and mental-health beds — earmarked for the building as part of a provincial directive. He said the majority of old facilities throughout the province offer shared rooms. Single-patient rooms are said to reduce infections and increase privacy, with the inclusion of dedicated washrooms. The building will also create a new main entrance to the hospital. Whereas in the past, patients have arrived at RIH via different entryways, the tower will provide a dedicated and defined main entrance to the multi-building hospital — an open-concept glass entrance with a large atrium and space for gather-

ing. The atrium will be built in the location of an old courtyard. Exterior design put forward in the development permit application looks a little different from previous renderings, the result of early proposals hammered out, Fowler said. As for interior design, Interior Health is engaging staff and First Nations for input. Interior Health communications consultant Kevin Parnell said meetings with department heads, staff and the EllisDon design team aim to create rooms and working areas well-suited for patients and staff. As part of the construction project, an 89-stall parking lot has been demolished to pave way for the new building. However, despite the loss of stalls, which were previously used for staff and physician parking, 42 underground and 157 surface parking spots will be built — with a net gain of 110 stalls. Fowler said 40 per cent of those stalls will be for the public and 60 per cent will be for staff. Parking complaints continue to swirl around the hospital, with staff parking down the street and some downtown workers parking in the new clinical services building, which was intended to alleviate parking problems at RIH.

B.C-SPECIFIC RIDE HAILING ON WAY

ven when B.C. finally appears to be joining the 21st century of transportation, the leap comes with many questioning the logic. After many years of not doing much — of which both the B.C. Liberal and B.C. NDP governments are guilty — we finally learned this week that ride-hailing services will be coming to the province this fall. As the saying goes, better late than never — and late it is, as those who have travelled virtually anywhere else in the world and sampled the variety of transportation options available can attest. Of course, B.C. will be different than every other jurisdiction in North America, with rules that will accompany the introduction of Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing services. In B.C., ride-hailing drivers will be required to have a class 4 (commercial) driver’s licence, just as taxi drivers are required to have. The Passenger Transportation Board will determine whether ride-hailing drivers will be limited to operating within geographical boundaries (as is now the case with taxi companies) and whether there should be a cap on the number of ride-hailing vehicles are permitted to operate locally and provincially. Aaron Zifkin, Lyft’s managing director for Canada, is on record as saying his company requires no commercial driver’s licence anywhere else in North America, nor is it constrained by boundaries or a cap on vehicle numbers. Ride-hailing is popular because of the availability of vehicles, the almost instant arrivals and the flat rates offered, all of which are not as attractive when using taxis in smaller cities like Kamloops. The power to determine how ride-hailing works in B.C. lies with the Passenger Transportation Board. As the board finalizes the rules, perhaps it can examine an issue that remains under the radar — that of how much of a fare is taken by Uber and Lyft, which by some estimates is as much as 25 per cent.

Herds dwindling all over

he B.C. NDP government has imposed a two-year moratorium on new mining and forest work in large areas of forest land in northern B.C., following a bumbling effort to shut down existing industry and comply with a federal order to protect endangered caribou herds. It’s a cruelly mistimed blow to B.C.’s struggling forest industry and has implications for caribou zones down the Rocky Mountains to the Kootenays. The federal Liberals want to impress their urban environmentalist supporters going into a fall election and Premier John Horgan appears to be trying to use the caribou crisis to further his aggressive transfer of provincial timber to Indigenous communities. The initial B.C. proposal, worked out in secret with two selected Indigenous groups, created such a wave of public concern that Horgan put it on hold this past spring and called on former B.C. Liberal cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom to advise Forests Minister Doug Donaldson. Lekstrom’s report details how local governments, other Indigenous groups and industry were shut out of private talks with the West Moberly and Saulteau First Nations. Their chiefs falsely claimed the sweeping restrictions would not eliminate forest jobs. Horgan intervened after forest-dependent people started packing meetings in the Peace and Kootenay regions to demand answers.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA The struggle to protect dwindling caribou herds has been ongoing for many years and B.C. is part of a much larger picture. Newfoundland’s herds are many times larger than B.C.’s total population. Decline there, as well as here, is attributed to climate shifts and resurgence of wolves and grizzly bears and their access to prey via roads and snowmobile tracks. In B.C., professional environmentalists are, as usual, the loudest voices. They are appalled that the province has resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters, dismissing the temporary moratorium as too little, too late. Claims that successive B.C. governments have “done nothing” may be good for fundraising, but they are false. By 2016, the area protected from logging and road building in the South Selkirks was 2.2-million hectares, 95 per cent of the best caribou habitat. The South Peace recovery plan covered 400,000 hectares of high-

elevation winter habitat. That same winter, the forests ministry worked with West Moberly and Saulteau to try to shoot 120 or more wolves in the South Peace, where the Graham herd, B.C.’s largest, numbered about 700 caribou. The fifth winter of wolf kills has now passed and, oddly, the NDPGreen government hasn’t been criticized for continuing it. Say what you want about these provincial efforts, but they’re not nothing. Predator control and maternity pens to protect tiny calves are the only strategies that have been shown to work — and these costly efforts are continuing. Banning industrial activity and road building are not magic solutions. As the Council of Forest Industries has pointed out, herds in Wells Grey Provincial and Jasper National parks are also declining, with no industrial activity. Caribou are gone from Banff National Park, which has been protected since 1885. In the meantime, the Justin Trudeau government has just discovered another endangered species it wants to be seen trying to save. The federal agency wrote to B.C. in June, urging work to start on a plan for the “threatened” grizzly bear, one of the caribou’s main natural predators. Folks living in northern B.C. report that the main threat involving grizzlies these days is that there are too many of them — and they’re coming closer to communities. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DEFENDING TRUMP FROM FOULDS COUNCIL NEEDS TO FOCUS ON MANAGING CITY Editor: Did I miss something during the last municipal election? Was there a new job description of saving the planet no matter what it costs Kamloops taxpayers? Why is Kamloops council trying to solve the problems of the planet at our expense? All the discussion on plastic bag bans does not fall under council’s job description. It is for federal MPs to discuss and enact legislation for minions like us and our council to follow. We don’t need to triplicate all the work at taxpayers’ expense through federal, provincial and municipal taxes. Kamloops council members need to stay on track and do the job they were hired to do — manage the city. All the wasted hours of debating plastic bags is ridiculous. Who gets to spend the five cent per bag charge? Is it a tax grab to fill general coffers or will it be used for recycling? If the bags are not available with our groceries then we will buy them by the roll for our garbage cans. Council members need to get off their soapboxes and do what they were hired to do. If not, they should run for federal positions, where there is power and a mandate to make a difference. Jay Barlow Kamloops

Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of July 5 (‘Drawing the truth can offend — and that’s the point’): Drawing the truth can offend, but using a drawing to slander is unacceptable. The drownings of Salvadoran migrant Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his toddler daughter Valeria in the Rio Grande River that separates Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Tex., were the father’s fault. He did not want to go through the asylum process.

In his column, Foulds libelled U.S. President Donald Trump by referencing this tragedy, a “locker room talk” incident, an accusation that asylum camps in the United States are inhumane and an inferring that Trump has a despotic nature. This was all in defence of a political cartoonist who was fired for depicting Trump golfing over the drowned father and daughter. I urge KTW readers to listen to an excerpt from the second Presidential Debate in 2016, when Trump discusses the “locker room talk” incident — stem-

ming from audio captured during his visit to Entertainment Tonight — so they can put the incident into perspective. The asylum camps in the U.S. are a far better accommodation than the asylum seekers had at home. And how does diplomatic tact become an indication of a despotic nature? It would be nice if we received some truth out of the mainstream media now and then, but it does not appear that this will happen any time soon in Kamloops. Richard Lodmell Kamloops

RAINBOW CROSSWALKS AN IMPORTANT SYMBOL Editor: Re: Narayan Mitra’s letter of July 4 regarding a proposed city-funded rainbow crosswalk downtown (‘Cross with having to foot colourful bill’): Painting a rainbow crosswalk

advances the cause of Pride by generating awareness about the issue. Also, having authority figures like the City of Kamloops support the issue only begins to repair the damage done to a community that has been system-

atically discriminated against by governments and organized religions for centuries. Tushar Jain Kamloops

PERHAPS WE CAN EXPAND FESTIVAL LOCATIONS IN CITY Editor: Canada Day in Kamloops was a wonderful celebration of vendors, cuisine and numerous activities for families and friends. Fortunately, we have great spirit and participation in Kamloops, with the consequences being long lineups and crowded activities.

This can be challenging at the best of times. I wonder if it’s time to expand our celebrations to other areas in Kamloops, beyond downtown. Perhaps we can incorporate additional areas so everyone can participate, regardless of numbers. We didn’t stay long as we

could barely make it through the crowds, which led me to wonder if other citizens felt this way. Perhaps this should be up for discussion and consideration for future events.

Rick McGowan was met with handshakes, pats on the back and a hug as he walked out of a Kamloops courtroom on Friday, with his jacket slung over his right arm and a look of relief on his face. The director of the Nicola Valley Fish and Game Club and his fellow club members attended B.C. Supreme Court that afternoon, where Justice Joel Groves ruled the B.C. government and the Douglas Lake Cattle Company will pay the club’s legal fees in its fight for public access to two Nicola Valley lakes. Last December, in what McGowan described as a “precedent-setting” case, Groves ruled roads in the area of Minnie and Stoney lakes that had been claimed as the property of Douglas Lake were actually public — and that the ranch cannot lawfully block access to either lake, which are public property. The club’s court costs — said to be more than $350,000 — will be split 50/50 between the province and cattle company. “It’s an unusual order to make, but the courts found the club has been acting in the public’s interest,” said Chris Harvey, the fish and game club’s lawyer. According to McGowan, the province had initially been seeking a 25/75 per cent court costs split. Groves said he ordered the costs be split evenly with the government because, as was shown in court, the province chose not to respond to the illegal actions of Douglas Lake, leading to the litigation.

McGowan said he is not sure how much money the club will be reimbursed, noting it has spent about $160,000 — accumulated through donations and fundraisers — but still owes about $150,000 in legal bills. The club’s counsel has provided the club with a 50 per cent discount, but, McGowan said, there are various ongoing legal costs. “If we can pay off our legal bills, that’d be awesome,” McGowan said, noting Friday hearing alone cost $1,000. He said he expects the court case to cost all three parties involved — the club, cattle company and province — about $1.5 million. According to Groves, the fish and game club met the criteria required for the order as it was acting in the public interest and had no monetary benefit to gain from the case. “They acted to right what they felt was a longstanding wrong against everyone in British Columbia,” Groves said. He said members of the club tried for years to compel the provincial government to act as a responsible caretaker of public resources against a corporation that had unilaterally taken provincial property for its own economic benefit and was denying citizens access to their property. December’s decision was the culmination of a protracted trial spanning six years, pitting a wealthy private ranch — the Douglas Lake Cattle Company, owned by U.S. billionaire Stan Kroenke (husband of a Walmart heir and owner of the Los Angeles Rams, Colorado Avalanche, Arsenal and other professional sports franchises)

Head-on crash claims one life KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

One person is dead and another person is in hospital following a head-on crash last week just south of Kamloops. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Thomas Dimopoulos said police were called last Friday at about 3:30 p.m. to a report of an accident south of the interchange of Highway 5 and Highway 1, between Kamloops

and Inks Lake. Dimopoulos said a white Toyota Prius collided head-on with a grey Toyota Sienna. The driver and lone occupant of the Toyota Prius was pronounced deceased at the scene and the driver and lone occupant of the Toyota Sienna was treated at the scene and taken to Royal Inland Hospital for further assessment. The RCMP and BC Coroners Service are investigating.

— against the B.C. government and the club in a fight over access the two small fishing lakes. While the matter of who will cover legal fees has been settled, Harvey said there is still more work to be done in the quest to enforce public access to Minnie and Stoney lakes. “He [Groves] did say that has to be done by a separate application,” Harvey said. “All we know is that there is access to both of these lakes now, but the details of it will need to be worked out later.” In court, Groves said any enforcement provisions could only be ordered after a separate application is made and a period of non-compliance has happened. He said at this point it’s unlikely any enforcement order would be made as he understands his December ruling is under appeal. The ultimate goal for the club, McGowan said, is to ensure all lakes in B.C. remain public. “We’re hoping that the B.C. government is going to take note and not allow the privatization of public lakes in the future,” McGowan said, adding that he hopes the government will take that stance if the club is successful with its next lake access case. The club is suing Corbett Lake Lodge, Douglas Lake Cattle Company and the province of British Columbia for allegedly blocking public access to Corbett Lake. McGowan said no court date has been set yet in that case and the club is in the process of requesting documents from the provincial government.

Chase RCMP recover stolen vehicles, seize illegal weapons IN THE HAUL IS A JAMES BOND-STYLE WEAPONIZED SUITCASE KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Chase Mounties have seized more than $300,000 worth of stolen property from the Lower Mainland and Interior and a cache of illegal firearms — including a James Bond-style suitcase that doubled as a firearm. Cpl. Scott Linklater said Mounties and members of the Natural Resource Officers Service executed two search warrants, on June 21 and June 23, at a rural property in the 4,000block of Leopold Road near Scotch Creek to recover stolen Crown timber. “At the time, four individuals — three adult men and one adult woman — were detained,” Linklater said. During the search, he said police found several vehicles that were confirmed stolen or had the vehicle identification numbers (VIN) purposefully removed. Vehicles with the VIN removed were seized for further inspection to deter-

mine their origin. Linklater said officers also found numerous firearms, several of which were discovered to be prohibited, including a Norinco Mak-90 fully automatic rifle, a Sterling Mark 4 submachine gun, a Smith & Wesson revolver with a ground-off serial number and a drum magazine and a firearm fitted within a small suitcase. A mechanism was fashioned so a person holding the suitcase handle could activate a lever that would pull the trigger shooting the firearm. During the June 21 search, police found a stolen loader and other larger items that

were unable to be recovered at that time. Police returned on June 23 to seize them. “This investigations was a clear success for the Chase RCMP,” Linklater said. “Not only were we able to work with a partner agency to recover property that had been stolen from across British Columbia, but we were also able to safely remove a number of illegal firearms, preventing them from potentially being used in future crimes.” Vehicles recovered are: • A Woodmizer portable saw mill reported stolen to the Salmon Arm RCMP in September of 2018;

• A 2017 Cargomate trailer reported stolen to the Langley RCMP in January of 2018; • A John Deere 3720 tractor with front end loader reported stolen to the Salmon Arm Detachment in May of 2011; • A 2000 Honda motorcycle reported stolen to the North Okanagan RCMP on June 16, 2019; • A 2006 Dodge 1500 reported stolen to the Prince George RCMP on June 13, 2019; • A 2015 Suzuki motorcycle reported stolen to the Abbotsford Police Department in November of 2017; • A 2008 Yamaha dirt bike reported stolen to the North Vancouver RCMP in November of 2017; • A 2014 KTM dirt bike reported stolen to the North Okanagan RCMP in June of 2018; • A 2007 Keystone Fifth Wheel camping trailer reported stolen to the Langley RCMP in September of 2015; • An Arctic Cat all terrain side-by-side vehicle reported stolen

B.C. Supreme Court will decide fate MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice will decided whether to extend the sentence of a Kamloops man who sent a 13-year-old girl cash, pizza and clothing in exchange for a nude photo. Justin Harvey McGowan, 36, pleaded guilty to using telecommunications to arrange a sexual offence against a child. In March, he was sentenced to a mandatory minimum six months in jail, which the Crown is appealing. At a hearing in Kamloops court on Friday, prosecutor Frank Caputo argued the sentence was unfit given the severity of the crime, saying trial Judge Roy Dickey failed to adequately address the principals regarding deterrence and denunciation. “The trial judge talked about efforts at rehabilitation, but didn’t say how does this sentence

deter other people from soliciting child sex abuse imagery from 13-year-olds,” Caputo said. The mandatory minimum sentence for internet luring in place at the time of the trial has since been struck down. Caputo feels the appropriate sentence range should be between 12 and 24 months. Court heard McGowan met the complainant, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, last September through the online app Whisper, which allows users to post anonymously. Despite knowing the complainant was 13, McGowan requested nude photos of her and subsequently paid for a picture with $100, pizza and clothing, which he dropped off near her home. He also invited the complainant to his house. Caputo said the offence of luring was committed as soon as McGowan made the request, noting his actions went

The Guru Nanak Fund was established in 2003 by the Sikh Cultural Society of Kamloops. Since then, more than $165,000 has been raised to help RIH. Of that amount, $30,000 was collected by Tarsem Singh Gill and sons Sukhwinder Singh and Surinder Singh via the annual Indo-Can Golf Tournament.

KAMLOOPS AMBASSADORS READY TO REPRESENT CITY FOR ANOTHER YEAR

The 2019-2020 Kamloops Ambassador Team was chosen during this past Saturday’s ceremony at the Gateway City Church in Valleyview. Miss Kamloops Ireland Miller is joined by Kamloops Princesses Katrina Peterson and Rory Jakubec. Miller was awarded the Public Speaking Award, while Peterson was the recipient of the Knowledge Award, the Sponsor Presentation Award, the People’s Choice Award and the Friendship Award. Raisa Dewan took home the Butterfly Award for most growth throughout the program. The new Ambassadors met with Kamloops council this past Tuesday and will represent the city at their first out of town event in Kelowna this weekend. “Programs like these are no small feat. They take dedication, commitment and perseverance,” said Teresa Dares, president of the Kamloops Ambassador Society. In the photo, from left: Judge Michele Mansus (a former Miss Kamloops), judge Bryce Herman, Kamloops Princess Katrina Peterson, Miss Kamloops Ireland Miller, Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, Kamloops Princess Rory Jakubec, judge co-ordinator Carmelina Woods and judge Sam Numsen.

Kid duo is chalking up a T-shirt success story A pair of Kamloops kids who competed in April’s Junior Dragons’ Den at Thompson Rivers University have seen interest expressed in their product, despite not taking home the top prize. Grade 6 Pacific Way elementary students Gavin Wycherley and Calum Korgaard presented the Junior Dragons’ Den judges with simple, yet creative chalkboard shirts — Chalk Shirtz, which are T-shirts adorned with chalk paint, ready to be drawn on. The two were surprised to learn that despite not winning, they had a viable product ready to sell. The boys sold a batch to staff at the Bank of Montreal in Airdrie, Alta., for the anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day. They have also had interest from organizations that need team shirts and like the idea of being able to re-use the washable chalk apparel. Another woman thought they would be perfect for a bachelorette party. Kamloops This Week promotions manager Tara Holmes, who was mentor to the boys during their business pitch at the Junior Dragons’ Den competition, described the product as a great idea that allows people to show off their artsy side. The boys hope to find time to get out to craft fairs or markets to continue selling their Chalk Shirtz. Those interested in ordering a shirt can call 250-682-4971. Community Futures Thompson Country plans to stage another Junior Dragons’ Den competition in Kamloops.

Tom LaRoche runs LaRoche World Gung Fu and Kickboxing and the adjacent Generation Victory Centre Church in North Kamloops. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Tom LaRoche is staging a community fair this week for all the attend — and those dropping by will also get a taste of Kamloops sporting history. LaRoche runs LaRoche World Gung Fu and Kickboxing and the adjacent Generation Victory Centre Church, at 1110 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops. This Friday, the inaugural Summer Victory Festival will be held between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., featuring carnival games, music, food, crafts and more. LaRoche said all in the community are invited to attend, noting he has issued an invitation to musicians from other churches to join the fun. Eventually, he

said, the goal is to stage the community fair three or four times per summer. “The idea is to get the community together,” LaRoche said. Through the Generation Victory Centre, LaRoche said, much work is done helping those in need in the community, from kids who need mentorship, to single parents, to families. While those attending this Friday’s community fair will have plenty to do, they will also encounter Kamloops sporting history as July 12 is the 35th anniversary of the day LaRoche captured a world kickboxing title, a belt he won in a bout in 1984 in Memorial Arena. To commemorate the anniversary, LaRoche will be offering free martial arts

HEARING AID DEMO DAYS LIMITED TIME - TRY THEM YOURSELF

lessons to kids who attend the community fair. As LaRoche explained to the Merritt Herald in years past when travelling to the Nicola Valley town to conduct weekly introductory kickboxing classes: “Everybody in a community has a responsibility to invest in that community and its youth. “Sometimes, young people just need that extra person to come up beside them, to let them know that it’s alright to make mistakes. I use this training platform to help youths develop a healthy lifestyle. “By doing it at a young age, it will probably stay with them throughout their lives.”

RIH project drives massive permit month

More than 185,000 passengers passed through Fulton Field through the first half of 2019, compared to 170,311 through June of 2018.

PASSENGER NUMBERS KEEP RISING

BUSY KAMLOOPS AIRPORT WILL SEE EXTRA DAILY FLIGHT TO VANCOUVER JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Airport is reporting an eight per cent increase in passenger numbers in the first half of the year over the same time last year, in addition to the return of a fifth daily Vancouver flight beginning this fall. Kamloops Airport managing director Ed Ratuski attributed the passenger spike to air carriers — WestJet, Air Canada and Central Mountain Air — growing consistently from between six and 10 per cent month over month. “That’s a reflection of a lot of leisure travel, a lot of tourism travel during the winter and, generally, just people taking advantage of the services out of Kamloops,” Ratuski said. Passenger numbers to the end of June totalled 185,226, compared to 170,311 through June of 2018. Asked of the impacts, Ratuski said the busier the airport gets, the larger the aircraft and frequency of flights.

“It’s just an indicator that the community is responding to the air services and that the airlines are meeting their needs,” he said. Kamloops Airport meets with airlines regularly to re-evaluate community needs. Hard data from where passengers are travelling and making connections is presented to the airlines, with airport officials pitching profitable routes. From there, it’s up to the airlines to decide. Air Canada apparently sees a business case for amping up flights between Kamloops and Vancouver. The airline will be re-introducing a fifth daily fight in that route in October. Canada’s largest airline announced this past February it would be upgrading its planes at Kamloops Airport to boost capacity on regional routes around Western Canada this summer. However, in deploying more of its Bombardier Q-400 aircraft, it also decreased the number of flights between Kamloops and Vancouver, to four from five per day.

“We were anxious to see re-introduction of another frequency to Vancouver, which Air Canada has responded to,” Ratuski said. Looking to the future, he would like to see Edmonton and Seattle flights also return to Kamloops Airport. Kamloops previously had a flight to Edmonton, but it was cancelled amidst tumultuous times in the oil industry. Additionally, Ratuski said, a previous Kamloops-Seattle flight — which benefits Sun Peaks Resort — was viable prior to the financial crisis of the mid-2000s. Asked if the impressive numbers will continue through the remainder of 2019, Ratuski said the trends look good going forward. “The more people who make use of the services that are available here, we have a positive outlook continuing on into 2020,” he said. Ratuski encouraged Kamloops residents to take advantage of the Kamloops to Toronto flight, which leaves for Hogtown every Thursday afternoon until the end of August.

We’ll show you it’s possible.

The City of Kamloops’ building permit numbers last month were driven primarily by a $33.6-million foundation permit issued for Royal Inland Hospital’s new patient care tower. City building and engineering development manager Jason Dixon explained it made up the bulk of the $50.5 million worth of permits issued in June. “That was sort of the overwhelmingly big project in the mix,” Dixon said. In June 2018, the city issued $23.1 million worth of building permits. Also driving the numbers this year were a $1-million permit issued for Sagebrush Theatre’s roof repairs, $1.5 million for a Marshalls store in the former Sears space in Aberdeen Mall and a $3-million site servicing permit for a multi-family housing development on Ord Road in Brocklehurst. The year-to-date total in the first half of 2018 for building permit values is $148.1 million, which is an increase from last year’s mid-year point total of $118 million. Dixon said when factoring out the patient care tower, which inflates the numbers, the city is only $5 million short from where it was this time last year. Last year was a record-breaking year in Kamloops, with $285-million worth of building permits issued. “By all accounts, we’re still busy,” Dixon said. The city issued 148 total permits in June, compared to 128 in the same month last year. To date, the city has issued 731 permits this year, compared to 804 in the first six months of 2018.

Home sales declining this year TREND IS SAME ACROSS THE PROVINCE AND IN KAMLOOPS AREA KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

This year will be the third straight in which home sales decline in the province. And, for the first time since 2012, so will B.C. average home prices, Central 1 Credit Union said in its latest forecast. “Early 2019 home sales continue to deteriorate as federal and provincial policies continue to weigh on demand and lead to price declines among some of the larger urban markets,” said the organization representing credit unions in B.C. and Ontario. The report, Resale Housing Outlook 2019-2021, states new home starts have held steady early this year, “but a sharp pullback is expected in the second half of 2019 as weakening resale market and pre-sale conditions cool construction.” Central 1 forecasts that housing starts will decline 14

per cent this year to 35,000 units and slip further to approximately 33,000 units in 2020 and 2021. The report notes this is still above 2016 levels, noting the declines will be confined to larger urban markets. The report states smaller real estate markets have generally held steady, noting northern B.C. housing demand is being supported by work beginning on liquefied natural gas facilities and pipelines. Alberta’s slow economy is identified as slowing sales of recreational properties in the B.C. Interior. The federal government’s addition of a “stress test” for bank mortgages in 2018 has required borrowers to qualify their ability to pay if interest rates increase, after a long period of low rates led to personal debt rates rising. B.C. has focused on increased taxes

for foreign buyers and second homes in urban areas that have low rental vacancy rates and high purchase prices. B.C.’s foreign buyer tax and speculation tax were extended to urban areas outside Metro Vancouver, where 20 per cent declines have been seen in high-end properties and high-priced locations such as Vancouver and West Vancouver. “Similarly, sales in Kelowna, Abbotsford-Mission and Victoria have seen their sales slumps extend into 2019,” the report states. “While not of the same magnitude, sales are lower by more than 20 per cent, year over year. Weak activity in Metro Vancouver is contributing to fewer recreational and retirement home purchases in other markets, as homeowners face lower price/equity and difficulty selling their properties.” In Kamloops, sales are down

by nine per cent through the first half of the year — 1,411 homes have been sold through June 2019, compared to 1,540 sales through the end of June 2018. In June, 262 homes were sold in Kamloops, compared to 328 homes sold in June of last year, representing a 20 per cent decline.While activity is down, home prices have not yet been affected. The average sale price across the market (singlefamily, townhouses and apartments) in June was $425,000, up by nearly nine per cent from last June, when the average sale price was $391,000.Seventythree sales in June were for between $400,000 to $500,000. The average singlefamily home price is sitting at $495,000, compared to $492,000 in May. Three homes sold for more than $1 million in June.

Local firm finalist in Telus contest TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops/Kelowna business is in the running for a $100,000 prize from the Telus Pitch Small Business Contest. “A vote for MOGA is a vote for moms,” said Julie McCoppen of Kamloops, the founder and COO of MOGA Moms, one of 100 finalists from across Canada competing for the prize. MOGA Moms started as a brick-andmortar yoga studio, dedicated to pre-natal and mom-and-baby yoga. More recently, the company has shifted its focus to work with yoga instructors in Canada and around the world, training them how to offer these same yoga programs. To date, MOGA Mom has instructors in five countries, including Dubai. The program is focused not only on yoga, but on the overall health of mom, with instructors taught to watch for signs of post-

partum mood and anxiety disorders, such as post-partum depression, post-partum anxiety and post-partum ADD. It is the work with mood disorders where MOGA Moms is planning to spend the $100,000 prize if it wins the Telus contest. The company is developing a social enterprise program called Birth Your Power, designed to be an online resource for mothers who suspect they might be struggling with post-partum mood disorders. The resource would be freely available online and help mothers interpret their experiences to see if what they’re feeling is inside or outside the norm. “We’ve removed some of the barriers for moms who are searching for support,” McCoppen said, pointing to issues like leaving the house, fear and judgment and finances as issues that could get in the way of moms seeking help.

MOGA Moms currently takes a portion of money made from its teacher training to put toward Birth Your Power, but there has not yet been enough revenue realized to bring the service to life . It is ready to go, McCoppen said, but needs a bit more financing. “It’s something that has been professionally curated,” she said, noting the company has been working on the program with mental-health professionals. The Telus Pitch Small Business Contest is open until July 10. Voting can be done online at https://telus.wishpondpages. com/vote/. MOGA Moms also has a contest on its Instagram page (@moga_moms).

DIG IT: JOIN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY PHOEBE MURPHY

SPECIAL TO KTW

here are a surprising number of resident archeologists in Kamloops. Local archeologists can be found working at First Nations organizations, acting as independent consultants, teaching archeology at Thompson Rivers University or working for engineering or archeology consulting companies. This time of year also finds an influx of archeologists to the area as field programs in the B.C. Interior ramp up for the summer season. Earlier this year, several of the local archeologists (many of whom are contributors to the Dig It column), formed a Kamloops chapter of the Archaeological Society of British Columbia (ASBC). The ASBC was founded in 1966 with the aim of bringing together archeology professionals, researchers and enthusiasts to share knowledge and promote the preservation of archeology sites and heritage in the province. Archeology is considered a non-renewable resource as there are a finite number of archeological sites in the province that, once destroyed, are irreplaceable. The ASBC has always maintained that educating the general public about the value of B.C.’s archeological heritage is one of the most effective means of preserving the threatened resource. The goals of the society are twofold: to encourage the protection of archeological resources in the province and to provide lectures and publications about archeology to educate British Columbians. The society publishes a quarterly journal about archeology

The Kamloops chapter of the Archaeological Society of British Columbia is growing. If you are interested in learning more about the ASBC or joining as a local member, go online to asbc.ca.

called The Midden (uvic.ca/midden). Consulting archeologists, First Nations organizations, archeology students and avocational archeologists contribute to the journal as a platform for sharing new ideas, interesting finds and research results. The Midden provides a way to record and share the growing body of knowledge about B.C.’s dynamic past. The ASBC membership is comprised of a variety of professionals, students and archeology enthusiasts. The primary chapter of the ASBC is based in Victoria, but there are members from across B.C., other Canadian provinces and the United States. Membership is not restricted to practicing archeologists.

Anybody with a general interest in B.C. archeology and history is welcomed and encouraged to join. The Kamloops chapter is growing. If you are interested in learning more about the ASBC or joining as a local member, go online to asbc.ca. The Kamloops chapter of the ASBC has several events planned, so stay tuned for more details.

Sangha ran the bench last season, but family and work commitments will keep him from undertaking head coaching duties for 2019-2020. “The roles will change a little bit and we’re working on that right now,” Kolle said. “The one thing about our status right now is we’re not a highrolling team with a big budget. People who get involved with our team right now have to love hockey.” The Storm’s main camp is scheduled to get underway on Aug. 26. Eight players have been signed, including a pair of Kamloopsians — Harrison Ewert and Ty Stokes. See DEWAR, A20

Kamloops ball hockey teams settle for silver MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ryan Hanes looked tuckered and his Kamloops Bulldogs had just run out of steam. The Fraser Valley Outlaws edged the Bulldogs 2-1 in double overtime of the C final at the B.C. Ball Hockey Association Championships, which wrapped up on Sunday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. “It’s mostly about staying in shape for me, but we love ball hockey,” said Hanes, formerly a forward for his hometown Kamloops Blazers. “Although we had a long night last night, so I don’t think I dropped too many pounds. I put more on, I think. “We just couldn’t bury today.” Hanes was able to crack a few jokes, but the Bulldogs looked dejected after the defeat, a loss in front of more than 100 fans who wanted to see a local provincial champion crowned. Bulldogs’ goaltender Dalton Johnston was named C Division MVP in a post-game ceremony, but was not pleased with the game’s result. “It’s kind of a shock,” said Johnston, whose team bested the Outlaws 6-4 in round-robin action. “We did not come prepared at all. We definitely underestimated them, just because we passed them in the preliminary round.” Johnston was asked how hard his team worked in front of him in the title tilt. “I’ll give them the benefit of

the doubt — how about that?” Johnston said. Nick Fidanza scored for the Bulldogs, with an assist going to Jackson Bruce-Fuoco. Three Kamloops teams reached finals on Sunday, but none were able to hoist a trophy. The West Coast Express edged the Bohnefide Blackjacks of Kamloops 2-1 in the B final. Alex Provencal had the local club’s lone goal. Eric Nachtigal provided the helper. The Victoria Dragons topped the Kamloops Flyers 4-3 in the D final.

Racking up points for the Flyers were Tyler Ramsay (1G, 2A), Carson Desmarais (1G, 1A), Tyler Christiansen (1G) and Tyson Galloway (2A). Flyers’ star forward Logan Stankoven had out-of-province commitments and was unable to play at provincials. “Attendance-wise, we had upwards of 100 people at some of the games,” Kamloops Ball Hockey League president Zach Moffat said. “We even had a wedding party show up to watch (Layne Clow and Sean Thompson of the Blackjacks

tied the knot on Saturday.). “We’ve heard from all the teams. No matter where they go for provincials, it hasn’t been as professional or polished as it has been in Kamloops.” Jassi Sangha, head coach of the Kamloops Storm last season, was among players who joined the Bulldogs in time for the provincial championships. “It does sting a bit, but it was fun and it was a good turnout,” Sangha said. “We wish we could have won. Our goalie played well. We just couldn’t get him the goals.”

Kamloops teams combined to post an 8-1 record in round-robin play. “They’ll tell you they don’t take it seriously, but there is a lot of pride there, lifetime hockey players who want to win,” Moffat said. “In a tournament like this, I think they show that. “And with the league doing more social media and more fans coming out, they take it a little more seriously.” Hanes was top scorer in the C Division. Connor Milburn of the Flyers was top scorer in the D Division.

Daley: Rain hurt coffers, but KIBT organizers undeterred MARTY HASTINGS

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The Edmonton Cubs were not the only squad picking mud out of their cleats on the weekend at the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament. For more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

The Everett Merchants are back-to-back Kamloops International Baseball Tournament champions. Everett earned a 6-1 victory over the Alaska Goldpanners in the final on Sunday, a game that, unlike many of the tournament’s offerings, was accompanied by relatively fair weather. KIBT community sponsorship co-ordinator Norm Daley said event coffers took a hit this year, with rain leading to delays, postponements and rescheduling throughout the weekend on McArthur Island. “We had our feature games on Thursday and Friday night that didn’t

occur and, on Saturday night, the game didn’t really matter too much,” Daley said. “It has a bit of an impact, but we’re not a one-year event and we have some reserves.”

A sizeable crowd was in good spirits for the championship tilt on Sunday. “It’s amazing what the field crews did,” Daley said. “The coaches were understanding, knowing

we had to manoeuvre. We learned a lot.” Everett hammered the Seattle Studs 11-1 and Alaska blanked the Calgary Dinos 12-0 in semifinal action. The Merchants edged the Studs 6-5 in 12 innings in the 2018 final, ending Seattle’s sevenyear run of titles. “It is disappointing, but I can’t do anything about the weather,” Daley said. “We did a lot of work to promote. I think we just build on that groundwork that will help out next year. “I had some really interesting people come out and talk to me about helping out.” The Kamloops Sun Devils posted an 0-3 record this year and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Catharine Pendrel was in a place she had not visited for quite some time — in the lead at a cross-country mountain biking World Cup event. Pedal Magazine posted a picture on Twitter of the 38-yearold Kamloops resident racing ahead of the pack after the first lap in Vallnord, Andorra, on Sunday. “Catharine Pendrel is BACK,” read the tweet that accompanied the photo. The third stop on the circuit did not end as well as it began for Pendrel, who ran out of steam and placed 17th. “Wish I could say I held onto the lead, but great to taste it even for a while before detonating,” Pendrel said on Twitter after the race. She later posted to Facebook. “Sometimes, you don’t plan to lead a World Cup, but the opportunity presents itself and you just have to roll with it,” she said. “Felt amazing to be back at the front, but paid for it hard in the final laps.” Pendrel, who moved up one spot to 14th in overall World Cup

standings, will race this weekend at stop No. 4 in Les Gets, France. “If you don’t take a risk, you’ll never know, though, and I can take some good confidence away for next weekend,” Pendrel said. There are four events remaining on the World Cup schedule and Pendrel, who has 336 points, is well within striking distance of catching riders holding top 10 positions in overall standings. Haley Smith, who has 410 points, is the top Canadian, sitting in ninth position after three events.

Kate Courtney of the U.S. leads with 890 points, while Jolanda Neff of Switzerland is on her tail with 815 points. Anne Terpstra of the Netherlands is in third, with 645 points. Terpstra became the first Dutch woman to win a World Cup race on Sunday in Vallnord, finishing 38 seconds ahead of Neff. Pendrel is 28th in the most recent Union Cycliste Internationale elite women’s crosscountry mountain biking world rankings, up six spots from the previous period.

DEWAR PROUD OF STORM LEGACY From A18

“My theory is Kamloops is one of the best development communities in North America for hockey players,” Kolle said. “Acceleration fitness, the major midget team, the Kamloops Storm, Kamloops Junior Blazers — all the groups kind of work together in developing Kamloops kids. “If you really look out there, there is more Kamloops kids achieving per capita than anywhere in Canada. That’s my belief. I do want the Kamloops Storm to be a stepping stone for our local kids.” Dewar hopes his legacy with the Storm is work done to move players to higher levels of hockey and raise money for charitable causes in the community. “Johnny Ludvig got drafted. That’s a big achievement for any KIJHL team,” Dewar said, noting the club has raised funds for St. John Ambulance, the SPCA and cancer research. “Last year, we had four or five guys playing for the Prince George Cougars, one in Seattle. “We’ve moved a lot of players to

the WHL and I’m proud of that.” Kolle said the Storm are already a top-quality development club and hockey operations will remain mostly the same, but branding and community engagement will be improved. “We have full decision-making power and full influence,” Kolle said. “I think we’re going to bring more of a family brand to the community, more like a community feel to our team, something that more fans and people can embrace. “We want to be better to our volunteers, better to our billets. We want to involve these people so they feel some ownership, as well.” Kathy Grant of Hub Impact has been hired to handle Storm marketing duties and help with office operations. Dewar plans to help Kolle settle into his roles. “I’ll stay on and help Matt transition and volunteer and do what I can to help,” Dewar said. “I’m going to be 66 next month. Matt thinks he’s got some ideas. I’m going to have some fun. It’ll be a tough transition, but it’ll be good.”

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Mary Loerke

Bennie Bobrowich

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Mary in the early morning of July 3, 2019 at the age of 89, after a valiant battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

July 3, 1930 – June 26, 2019

Mary is survived by her loving and devoted husband and soulmate Harry, three children Marion (John), Ken, Corri-Ann (Robert), three grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. Also five remaining siblings, numerous nieces and nephews and family friends.

Just one week short of his 89th birthday, dad passed away peacefully in his sleep.

April 15,1930 – July 3, 2019

Mary was born in Iron River, Alberta to a family of eleven. She moved to Kamloops at a young age. Mary enjoyed time with family, travelling and camping. She was an avid gardener and shared a bounty of fruits and vegetables with many. Her coldroom shelves were lined with jars filled with fruit, vegetables, jams, jellies, pickles and sauces. She over saw the annual sauerkraut–making event. Her flowerbeds contained a variety of plants producing abundant colour through the season and not a weed could be found. She also enjoyed cooking and baking. Meals were plentiful with traditional and Ukrainian fare, and no one left her table hungry. She was known for the best pie crust and her variety of pies, including apple, rhubarb, cherry, peach and raisin. Mary spent many hours knitting and quilting, producing custom hand-made items cherished by us all. The family would like to thank Doctors Kitshoff and Bourdeau, Community Care Nurses Deb and Isla, the home support staff of High Country Health Care and nursing staff team on 4-North at Royal Inland Hospital, for the support and excellent care Mary received. A special thank you to Doctors Giolma and Baker and the nursing staff and volunteers at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for the comfort and compassion during Mary’s final days. We could not have done this journey without you all. No service by request Our sincere appreciation to Drake, Maryann and Erin at Drake Cremation for arrangements. Rest in peace Mom. As she would always say: “We’ll love you and leave you.”

He is survived by his wife of 67 years Gladys, children Robin (Dreena), Jay (Charlene) and Gina (Geoff), nine grandchildren Ginger (Scott) Teale, Holly (John) Porterfield, Margo (Will) Fehr, Scott (Natalie) Bobrowich, Amber (Ryan) Pavlik, Nicole Payne, Jenelle Chubb, Tyler Chubb and Jennifer Graham, ten great-grandchildren Zac, Olivia, Chet, Kory, Jessie, Leo, Jasmine, Sasha, Sean and Chelsea. Ben was born on July 3, 1930 at Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba, dad was the youngest of seven children. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Lena, three brothers and three sisters. Dad retired from the CPR after 36 years of service, but his true passion was carpentry, a skill he learned from his father Peter. Ben was an active member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club for many years and a longtime Kamloops Blazers season ticket holder. Our family would like to thank Dr. Prystawa, nurse Carmen and Dr. Hamilton for the excellent care he received for his struggle with Alzheimers. We would also like to thank the doctors and nurses at RIH for their skills with dads heart issues and the staff at the Good Samaritan Health Care in Salmon Arm for the wonderful care he received during his final months.

The day you left us, a year ago, we laid beside you as you took your last breath. It is a day we will never forget. Every single second has become tough to spend. There are no words to ease the pain and grief or telling you what losing you meant. A thousand tears can not bring you back… We know because we cry. We REALLY miss you! You’re always in our thoughts. You taught us everything, except how to live without you! If only we could just have you back for a while, for even just a hug. Until we meet again. We love you sooo much Momma~Grandma

There will be a private family service at a later date. Condolences to: robinsroost@telus.net

Carl Harvey Cooper January 22, 1946 – July 1, 2019

Harvey passed away on the morning of July 1, 2019 at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. Harvey’s greatest love was his family, he is survived by his beloved wife Bonnie, son William, daughter-in-law Trisha, grandchildren Jason, Gabriella and Sarah, along with his puppy Maggie. Harvey was also blessed with many nieces and nephews. He was born in Fort Frances, ON and had many fond memories of growing up there. Harvey was predeceased by his parents William and Elizabeth, his brothers Donald, Darold, James, Earl, Harold and Jack and sisters Evelene, Lillie and Lorna. Harvey was an automotive mechanic, having worked in Fort Frances and Atikokan before moving his family to Logan Lake, BC in 1980 and starting his career at Lornex (Highland Valley Copper), retiring in 2011. Harvey always enjoyed his and Bonnie’s road trips to the US and across Canada to visit family and friends. Countless motorcycle, camping and fishing trips that always ended in a good story or two. He recently bought himself a bright yellow convertible Mustang that he proudly drove around Logan Lake and enjoyed taking family and friends on little road trips to show off our beautiful area. We are so sad that Harvey left this world. His infectious smile and laughter, his sense of humour and endless teasing of the grandkids… which of course drove them crazy. A huge thank you to the Logan Lake paramedics, RIH emergency doctors and nurses. Harvey will always have a piece of our hearts. He will be laid to rest in the Logan Lake Cemetery, with no service as per his request. Donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation can be made in Harvey’s name in lieu of flowers.

She is predeceased by her husband Chester and daughter Janet. Joyce loved good food and socializing, enjoyed going to movies and bingo with friends.

She also has eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren who all brought great joy to her later years. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Jim left this world the same way he entered it, peacefully and quietly. He was born in Kamloops (third generation) and passed away in Kamloops. He was a quiet and kind man. He loved Kamloops, especially the lakes and forests where he hunted and fished to his heart’s content. He met Bea and they were married in May 1963. Together they lived a wonderful life surrounded by friends and family. He was generous and was the hardest working man in Kamloops, starting a lifelong career in car painting at Syd Smith’s Autobody. His attention to detail was apparent in the many custom paint jobs he conducted. There will be no service but please remember him the next time you fish at one of the local lakes like Scuitto where he and Bea spent many wonderful times camping and fishing with friends and family. We would like to thank Dr. Arduini and the staff at Royal Inland Hospital along with the amazing people at Kamloops Hospice. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

In the years to follow, he was an avid fan of multiple sports from NHL, NFL to MMA. Chris would later find a career with CN Rail where he was a supervisor for many years, travelling all over Western Canada. He took his job seriously and was rarely off the clock. He was a hard working and loyal man who was always trying to move forward. Chris enjoyed spending time with family and friends whenever he could. Whether it was getting together for a game of cards, watching the fights or shooting a round of golf, he was always interested in whatever was happening. He was a generous man who wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the tab or help someone out however it may have been needed. Those that knew him know of what a stand up guy he was. He will be missed tremendously.

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

Jean Benedict of Westwold and we lived there for four years. In early 1958, Dad applied at the Old Gaol, 400 block Columbia Street and we moved into Kamloops, living for the 1st year in town while Dad, Mom and friends built a house on Drevlo Road, now known as Young Avenue in Brocklehurst. The family was completed when three more sons arrived. Dad worked for the BC Corrections for 25 years, good years except the 1962 R.C.M.P. tragedy. He was transferred to Raleigh Camp when it was built 1963. Dad was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for 69 years. Dad had a family project “Armstrong Christmas Trees” that kept him, Grampa Scotty and the kids and grandkids (including neighbourhood kids) busy for many years. Dad loved to garden, fish and camp, was a member of Fish and Games and the Eagles. He coached softball and spent many hours at hockey, soccer, football and rugby games. They travelled south with friends Hugh and Wynne McTaggert, toured with Wells Gray and Sun Fun and “Field Trips” with the family. Dad loved playing cards, especially crib and woodwork. He enjoyed his BCGEU lunches with fellow guards. In 2002, Dad and Mom moved to Cottonwood, stayed 14 years, then moved to Chartwell Renaissance. Dad was predeceased by his wife Joyce, his four brothers Ken (Aileen), Jim, Frank (Kay) and Ron, in-laws Shirley (Fred) Hutchinson, nieces Sherry Thomas, Barb Byette, Bonnie Armstrong, nephew Ross Nodge, sonin-law Kenneth McLean and many friends.

And the Lord said “well done son”, and the people said “Amen”.

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.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Roy George Trusler

Mary Catherine (Cath) Morris

It is with deepest sorrow we announce the sudden passing of the most loving, kindhearted Husband, Father, Brother, Son, Uncle, Cousin and Friend.

March 19, 1955 – July 6, 2019

October 11, 1948 to June 8, 2019

Roy was quite simply an amazing man. He was born in Stockport, England on October 11,1948 to Mildred and Walter Trusler and came with them to Canada as a baby. He is predeceased by his brother Bryan in 1980, his father Walter in 2008 and his mother Mildred in 2015. Left to cherish is memory is his wife of 35 years Dee (Draney) along with their daughter Tahnee and her husband Brandon, as well as countless family and friends. Roy moved to Kamloops in 1964. Graduating from NorKam Secondary School in 1967 during which time he was a pump jockey at Fred’s BA Gas Station. He began his trucking career at Gibraltar, Kitsault and Lynn Lake Mines and from there moved on to Arrow Transportation, Superior Propane, Columbia Transport Driving Instructor and eventually School District #73 as a school bus driver. He spoke very fondly of his student passengers and the lifetime of friends he made behind the wheel. Roy loved spending his free time at the cabin he helped build with his father, surrounded by his friends and family. The family would like to thank the Paramedics of the BC Ambulance Service, the Kamloops Fire Department and RCMP officer Cheryl Montgomery. Celebration of Life for Roy will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Southwest Community Church, 700 Hugh Allan Drive, Kamloops, BC. His ashes will be laid to rest at a later date at the top of Samatosum Mountain in Adams Lake.

Cath passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. Her cancer diagnosis was known by family and close friends and kept as private as possible. This was what she wanted. Bout number three took a toll, but she did return to work. Number four really wasn’t a surprise, except for the fact that the diagnosis came so quickly after the third one. She will be missed by her four-legged kids Elephant, Tater and Little Guy, her siblings Jim (Joyce), Pat, Peggy, Rick (Barbara) and Barb and all her nephews and their spouses; as well as her friends Helen, Janis, Linda, Tom, Teressa, Marg, Theresa and Marianne. She was predeceased by her sister Judy (Mike). Thank you to Drs. Proctor and Tevendale, nurses April and Donna, Tracy S. and Tracy W. and many others on the 8th floor Cancer Clinic at RIH. In addition to her treatments, this remarkable group of people provided strength and support to Cath. Another thank-you to all the technicians from the many departments at RIH involved in the diagnoses. Finally, a thank-you to Aaron Glover and his staff at Glover’s Medical Centre. To everyone who has given their friendship and support to Cath, it was, is, and will continue to be very much appreciated. We know Cath is looking forward to the next stage of her journey and will be arriving with a smile. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Hospice, the RIH Cancer Clinic, or an animal sanctuary. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

LOVE ALWAYS REMEMBERS BY HELEN STEINER RICE

May tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints In colors true The happy hours that Belonged to you.

KamloopsThisWeek.com

Ronald Hjalmar Anderson, 88, passed away on June 29, 2019 after a long battle with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Despite the restrictions the disease placed on him, he was not one to seek sympathy, indulge in self-pity or dwell on what he could no longer do. Instead he set his sights on what life could still offer him. He was a passionate man who lived life on his own terms. He had a sharp mind and an adventurous spirit. Born June 4th in Ft. Saskatchewan, Ron lived in communities from Edmonton to London, Inuvik to Quesnel, Kamloops to Grenada, Salmon Arm to Czar, Sidney to Victoria. He worked as a miner, mounted policeman, teacher, school principal, youth counsellor, salesman, politician and businessman. He was often involved in community affairs, acted in local theatre, raised bees and wrote movie reviews. Among his greatest pleasures were music, literature and history (world and family). His knowledge in these areas was impressive as was his ability to weave fact and fiction into wonderfully colorful stories. Being with family and friends also brought him much pleasure. In his last year, he was fortunate enough to connect with his first child, Suzanne and her daughter, Kathleen. Ron will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him. A heartfelt thank you to the staff at the Selkirk Retirement Home for providing such compassionate care. Ron is predeceased by his loving partner, Marlene and survived by his sister, Karin; his children: Suzanne, Olivia, Kathryn, and Jeff; 7 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren as well as Marleneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children (his in spirit): Reesa, Cara and Kelly and grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held in Alberta in August. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Parkinson Society. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallgardens.com.
