Math teacher gets reprimanded for comments to student MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops teacher has been reprimanded for inappropriate comments he made to a female student — one of multiple interactions with students that led to disciplinary action from the Kamloops-Thompson school district. According to a consent resolution reached with the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation, the student reported feeling uncomfortable when math teacher Scott Edward James Watson commented that it would be difficult to wipe after going to the bathroom, given the length of her manicured nails. The conversation occurred in late May or early June of 2018, during which Watson also asked the student how she washed her hair or typed, considering her nails were long and jewelled. On June 26, 2018, the school district suspended Watson for one day without pay, which he served on June 28, 2018. The suspension came after two other incidents of inappropriate comments to students from Watson. According to the report, on Oct. 3, 2017, the school district sent
Watson a letter advising him to “take more care with your comments to students and ensure that all communication with them remains respectful.” The letter was sent after Watson made inappropriate comments to a student. However, two months later — on Dec. 13, 2017 — the school district reprimanded Watson for engaging in inappropriate conversations with students. The district directed him to take a Justice Institute of BC course called Reinforcing Respectful Professional Boundaries, which he did in March of 2018, a few months prior to the offence that led to his one-day suspension. On Sept. 14, 2018, the commissioner considered the matter and proposed the consent resolution, which stipulates Watson understands the wiping comments constitute professional misconduct and takes his previous infractions into account in determining a reprimand is the appropriate consequence. The agreement was signed earlier this month — by Watson on July 2 and by B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation commissioner Howard L. Kushner on July 18. Watson has been a teacher since September 2007.

Thousands flock to second annual Buskers Festival TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
The guitar cases are closed, the hats are back on the performers’ heads and the 2019 International Buskers Festival in Kamloops is now in the history books. According to Audrey Trim, Tournament Capital and community events co-ordinator for the City of Kamloops, it was another successful year. “It was phenomenal,” she said.“It was a huge success again, so we’re very, very happy.” She said additions to the event this year, such as the music stage and the live art installation, were a hit with the thousands of people who moved through Riverside Park between Thursday and Sunday. The busk stops in the park — separate from the main
stages — proved so popular for local performers that organizers eventually opened the park up to non-featured performers, without restricting them to preset busking locations. These busking spots featured not just musicians, but jugglers, aerial acts, spoken word poets and spraypaint artists. In between performances, festival attendees also had the opportunity to check out a graffiti style urban art installation, which was led by Landon Muzio, owner of 808 & Bench Apparel downtown. Muzio and other artists created temporary murals on Friday and Saturday on the wall of the washrooms by the waterpark in Riverside Park, with a permanent mural created on Sunday. Some crowd counting was done to gauge the overall suc-
cess, but Trim doesn’t yet have those numbers, though she estimated there were between 300 and 400 people at each show, with thousands of people attending multiple shows on each day of the four-day festival. Trim said the festival will return in 2020, with tweaks to make the participant experience better and to improve the flow of the performances throughout the park. This year’s winner of the People’s Choice Award was Zap Circus and the duo will be invited to participate again next year if its schedule allows. The Kamloops International Buskers Festival is booked for the same weekend in 2020, which will see it run from July 23 to July 26. “We’re really thankful to the community for coming out and supporting the festival,” she said, also giving a nod to volunteers. “We’re looking forward to 2020.” CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Tarrabelle and Rusty of Zap Circus demonstrate an amazing feat of balance and strength; Victor Rubilar, an Argentinian footballer and Guinness World Record holder who does freestyle moves, juggles and performs acrobatics, won last last year’s People’s Choice Award and was the lone returnee from the 2018 Kamloops festival; comedian and juggler John Park elicits more than donations from the audience in Riverside Park; Bendy Em (that’s her in the box) shows why she has such a name; Hula Hooper Lisa Lottie illustrates her incredible dexterity.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The group behind the push for a performing-arts centre in Kamloops has begun selling society memberships, a move that aims to demonstrate community support for the proposed $70-million project. Kamloops Centre for the Arts Society hopes to sell 7,000 memberships in a drive this fall. It held a soft launch last week at Music in the Park in Riverside Park, drumming up support and contact information and gauging public knowledge about the project. Board director Brenda Aynsley said about 120 memberships were sold, with the first membership purchased by Mayor Ken Christian. Coun. Kathy Sinclair, who has advocated for an arts centre in the past and was formerly executive director of the Kamloops Arts Council, also signed on.

The memberships cost $2 and are not intended to be part of fundraising for the facility, but to establish ground-level support. “We’re doing that so that we can establish community support and have contact information for people, so we can let them know how things are going, learn more about the project and the process and also find volunteers who are interested in helping us build out this society,” Aynsley said. “There were a lot of people who know that it’s happening — and resounding support. ‘Oh, we’re so glad that you’re doing this,’” Aynsley said. “But there’s people who still don’t, they’re not aware that this is something that’s happening in the community. “We’ll be working on our communications strategy.” The group formed as a society about a month ago and does not yet have a website
or an online method to purchase memberships. Fundraising plans have also yet to be hammered out, in addition to a business case that will go to council. Aynsley said Kamloops residents who wish to purchase a membership or volunteer should watch for the group at public events before the official membership drive begins in September. Ron and Rae Fawcett resurrected the arts centre proposal earlier this year, following a failed referendum in 2015 that saw voters nix a proposed $91-million facility downtown at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. The new proposal is at the same location, with a price tag of about $70 million. The Fawcetts provided a new plan, in addition to donating the Telus annex building on St. Paul Street to provide space for arts groups. That donation is estimated to be worth between $8 million and $10 million. D#30150

Two city councillors pounded the hot pavement on Tuesday, checking in with businesses along West Victoria Street four months into the $13-million arterial reconstruction project. KTW joined councillors Bill Sarai and Mike O’Reilly, who said they want to help work out any kinks. “We’re here today to ask, ‘Hey, is there anything else that we could be doing as a city to make it easier and better for you guys?’” O’Reilly said. “Because, obviously, these businesses are bearing the brunt of this project. We want to hear directly from them and are there things that we can do? Sometimes, there’s small little tweaks and that’s what we want to know today.” First stop was Enterprise RentA-Car at 100 West Victoria St. Business has not been impacted, an employee said, because “people need cars.” However, it has been inconvenienced — whether explaining to out-of-towners how to get into the business, having the entrance moved for the umpteenth time or going without a bathroom for staff and customers as a result of having no water. “There’s an issue there. It was pretty much for the whole day. My biggest concern is the safety factor,” one staff member said, noting they work with chemicals. “Eyewash stations don’t work and stuff like that and nothing was supplied. No outhouses, either. So, where do you go for washing, right? Personally, I think the contractor should have that all set up. He’s making money, right?” The councillors said they will follow up with staff about bathrooms, noting it could be an easy fix that may cost $100 per day. Enterprise staff are also worried about impending power outages. “That’s another point we’ll take down here,” Sarai said. Next stop was Polar Battery at 150 West Victoria St. Branch manager Kelly Ashley believes the project is moving too quickly down the road without crews first completing the portion in front of his business. He said it has been frustrating getting trapped in the middle, with contractors and customers accessing other businesses in front of his due to access limitations and driving too quickly. “So, if the city put up a temporary speed bump?” Sarai suggested for the frontage road. “We’ve asked,” Ashley said. “I’ve asked, a couple months ago with Extreme to put temporary speed bumps in. There’s one

there, it’s really little.” “That’s nothing to a truck,” Sarai said. “Exactly,” Ashley said, noting more requests to the city went unanswered. “We can look into that,” O’Reilly said. Asked about communications for the project, Ashley said he would prefer more in-person communication, rather than emails. That sentiment was echoed by another business owner. Ashley recounted an email received on a Friday at lunchtime, in which he was notified he would be without water the following Monday. It wasn’t enough notice, he said, noting it meant running out on the weekend to buy water. “In my head, there’s communication there, but it could be better,” O’Reilly said, empathizing as a fellow business owner. Next door, Gino Sirianni of Sirianni Motors did not mince words, calling the past four months the “worst” of his life after 22 years in business. He tossed in an expletive or two, noting just last week he regained roadway access. For months, tow trucks were unable to get through and older customers have also avoided the area. Sirianni has picked up vehicles from customers’ homes and estimated business is down by about 25 per cent from previous years. “In my view, I think that the city should ease off maybe a little bit on the people who own the buildings, on their taxes,” he said. “And then, in turn, they can give the people who are renting the building some sort of compensation for it.”
“Tax break on the owner of the building and they can pass it on?” Sarai asked. “That’s what I think,” Sirianni replied. “The bottom line here is money. Anybody who thinks it any different is crazy because, at the end of the month, everybody’s got to pay their bills.” Sarai replied: “On the flip side, I can hear the argument, whenever there’s progress to be made in the city and it impacts businesses, do we always have to pay for that? It’s not something we’re just doing for beautification. It has to be done. The water main, infrastructure repair that has to be done.” “What I’m getting at is most projects aren’t two years long,” Sirianni countered. He suggested the city should have spent more money to get the project done faster. “Let’s face it, if you pay somebody, this job’s going to get done,” Sirianni said. After spending nearly an hour visiting the three businesses, Sarai said owners and staff have “legitimate concerns.” Communication, following through on what the city is telling businesses and making water and/or bathrooms available will be followed up with staff at city hall. The councillors said they will also check in with businesses more often. “It’s important people utilize their elected officials,” O’Reilly said. “That’s what we’re here for,” Sarai added. Contact O’Reilly by calling 250819-3165 or emailing moreilly@ kamloops.ca. Contact Sarai by calling 250-819-8527 or emailing bsarai@kamloops.ca.

Rubber will soon hit the road as stage one of Victoria Street West rehabilitation is expected to be completed by the middle of August. All that remains to complete is adding a layer of asphalt and line painting on that section of road, located between the Mustard Seed New Life Mission and First Avenue After that — as soon as crews pave the dug up portion of Seymour Street — traffic through stage one will return to normal, Alistair Elliot, project manager for contractor Extreme Excavating told KTW. On Friday, city staff toured reporters around the nearly completed section, which sports a new sidewalk and landscaping on the north side of the street along with new water, sewer and electrical lines beneath. The city is replacing 100-yearold water and sewer lines and moving power lines underground along Victoria Street
West from First Avenue to the Overlanders Bridge, beautifying the corridor with new landscaping and wider sidewalks as well. The entire project is making haste and the city anticipates all utility work and road paving for the four-phase project will be completed by late fall, when snow is expected, leaving some electrical work, tear down of power lines and other minor items to do when the project resumes in the spring. “Basically all the digging will be done except for some minor landscaping and things like that,” Trawin said, stressing that is barring any unforeseen circumstances. “If it [construction] continues the same way it has to date then the contractor believes that he can have the pavement down by fall,” Trawin said. Work will likely stop through the winter and traffic through the area returned to normal, but there may be some new detours come 2020 in order to finish the job, he told KTW. Based on past projects, the city initially expected to still be
digging up the road next spring — having pegged the project at a year and a half to two years to complete from its April 2019 start date. New project management practices, such as night shift work has helped speed the project along. Construction in each stage was scheduled to overlap with each other, and utility work has already been getting started in stage three — the north end of the Victoria Street West — and stage four, which stretches from the 300 block of the road to Overlanders Bridge. Stage two — consisting of the south end of Victoria Street West — has been in full swing for a number of weeks. Elliot said new water and sewer lines have been installed and about 75 per cent of shallow utility lines have already been put in place. Sidewalks will be installed in that phase in late August, he said. Trawin said the city has been spending about $1 million a month on the $13 million project.

All funding raised by the imposition of the levy may only be spent by the NSBIA for projects provided for in its annual budget, which must be approved by the members of the NSBIA at its Annual General Meeting prior to submission to City Council for annual approval.

PROACTIVE WORK ON WEST VICTORIA
T
he West Victoria Street reconstruction project is a massive undertaking with major impacts. Just ask business owners and residents who live in the area and are affected daily by the project. Yes, the $13-million endeavour is necessary as centuryold infrastructure needs to be replaced. Yes, doing it during the good-weather months is necessary for obvious reasons. And, yes, tearing up roads, rerouting traffic and creating traffic jams cannot be good for business. However, the city and project lead Extreme Excavating have, by most accounts, done as good a job as possible thus far, considering the significant challenges that come with such an undertaking. Crews have had to close sections of roads, reverse traffic flow on others, create temporary four-way stops, direct thousands of vehicles down narrow, dusty corridors and work to stop and restart water service for area buildings. Oh, and they have had to figure out how to keep the project going even after coming across the amazing discovery believed to be Secwepemc ancestral remains dating back to pre-European contact. KTW visited the construction site a few weeks after the project began and spoke with business owners, some of whom said they were weathering the construction storm and some of whom said they were ready to relocate. This week, KTW joined Kamloops councillors Mike O’Reilly and Bill Sarai and they dropped in on a few businesses to get feedback on the impact of the project. (Details of that visit, and the suggestions offered, can be found on page A6 of today’s paper.) That elected councillors are taking the time to walk the construction site and ask what more can be done for business owners is encouraging, as is recent news that the project will likely be completed ahead of schedule. Headaches can often be a real pain, but they almost always subside — as will the migraine that is West Victoria Street this summer.

City hall bits and bites
M
aybe it’s an inability to focus or perhaps there is a lot in my mind, but I couldn’t decide on a single topic for this column. So, friends, neighbours and children of all ages, I am touching on myriad (hopefully interesting) topics. • First, an assessment of summer in Kamloops so far. It has been simply amazing. The wildfire summers of 2017 and 2018 were a challenge for the community. Thankfully, June and July have been clear of any major smoke in the valley and the weather has generally been incredible. We deserve this after the past two summers and I hope it continues through August. • In late May, I bought an electric bicycle. Kamloops hills have beaten me many times while cycling, but pedaling uphill with an electric motor assist is so awesome. I still go slow, but I am not stopping every 10 metres. In fact, I’m hardly stopping at all. With the great weather, I’ve been motivated to take the bike out regularly. It’s also good to better understand the challenges and opportunities of urban cycling in Kamloops. I can see why people choose to cycle on a sidewalk on a busy road, for example. • The wonderful weather also means all the usual outdoor concerts, sporting events, charity fundraisers and community celebrations have gone off without a hitch. I’ve noticed our new council colleagues getting out and engaging with the community.
ARJUN SINGH View From CITY HALL This is a great testament to their desire to keep engaged when we have fewer formal council meetings in the summers. • At the start of this council term last November, Mayor Ken Christian proposed changes in the council committee structure. We have realigned our standing committees to mirror the operational departments at city hall. For example, there is now a civic operations committee to work with the civic operations department and a development and sustainability committee to work with the development, engineering, and sustainability department. One change in the committee structure is that the standing committees don’t have seats for grassroots citizens to be members. This may sound like a loss, but it’s not meant to be. Residents still can be members of city engagement groups. City hall has also ramped up efforts to promote opportunities for all citizens to contribute ideas, concerns and questions through the website
letstalk.kamloops.ca. The new committee structure will be evaluated in the near future to see how well its working. • I was lucky to get a dream committee assignment — chairing the development and sustainability committee. We get to talk about urban planning, housing and transportation. We’re looking at these topics and more with a goal to help make Kamloops even more vibrant and healthy. • Today, you really can’t talk about long-term community vibrancy and health without talking about climate action and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I strongly believe that reducing greenhouse gases is a local priority. City council has the responsibility for local transportation infrastructure, urban planning, building oversight, recycling and solid waste. In partnership with our provincial and federal government partners, we can meet the ambitious climate targets and do our part in creating a secure future for our planet. We can also take advantage of the enormous economic opportunities the seemingly inevitable transition to a lower carbon economy will offer. Friends, it is always a humbling opportunity to be able to share with you some news and views. Arjun Singh is a Kamloops councillor.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FAST FOOD SHOULD NOT BE NEAR SCHOOLS
IN KAMLOOPS, THE CAR WILL ALWAYS BE KING Editor: I got a car almost two years ago. The difference in time it takes to travel in Kamloops is quite extreme. The parts of Kamloops that I have been in lately have changed considerably. Before I got my car, it had been taking me one hour and 25 minutes each way to get to work. This was done by using transit and some walking, since the bus route did not go quite far enough. By car, it is only 25 minutes each way. My car gave me a saving of 10 hours per week on travel time. I used to think that anyone assuming a transit planner position should be required to give up his or her driver’s licence. It might give him or her a sense of the transit system. Unfortunately, there are ways to get around the difficulty. When I had my long commute, the schedule was changed. It used to be that I caught the bus home at about 4:55 p.m. This was changed to 5 p.m., with arrival at the exchange at 5:32 p.m. Unfortunately, this messed up my connection to my bus up the hill. The drivers did try to get to the exchange by 5:30 p.m., but traffic happens. Once, the bus pulled in behind my connection just as it set off. I have seen other bad decisions made by transit planners. Now that I have a car, I am keeping it. I will not willingly go back to transit. I do give rides to my friends. After all, I know what they are up against. I am looking for work right now, but BC Transit probably is not looking for a transit planner locally. Gene Wirchenko Kamloops
Editor: I am concerned about the Cooper Family Foundation’s development plans for the former Bowlertime/ Dirty Jersey property at Eighth Street and York Avenue in North Kamloops. Proposed is a two-storey, 25-stall parkade and a Tim Hortons outlet in the parking lot. We already have a traffic congestion problem in the area, particularly around Bert Edwards Science and Technology School, which is next door to the Cooper property. At times, I cannot get onto my street across from the entrance of the
school as parents are parked all over, illegally. I honk my horn, but parents swear or flip me the bird. Another response was that I should not have bought a place by a school. Fast food giants need to be in the same class as a liquor store, bar or cannabis store — away from the sights of developing young minds. I say there are better areas to situate a drive-thru Tim Hortons restaurant. Laura Balogh Kamloops
THE CHINA CONNECTION ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The Peter Wing Rotary Rose Garden in Riverside Park is full of colour and soothing scents.
CAPTIVATED BY ALL THE COLOURS Editor: Beauty and colour are everywhere around our city and in our parks. What a joy the colour brings to all of us. I am sending a big thank you, once again, to our city workers. Jenny John Kamloops
Editor: Re: KTW’s editorial of July 17 (‘UBCM continues to be tone deaf on China reception issue’): The editorial suggested that the Union of B.C. Municipalities should cancel the reception and notes some politicians have said they will not attend. The expressed theme of UBCM 2019 is resiliency and change: “From climate change to economic pressures, local govern-
ments are on the front lines managing the local impact of complex issues.” I think exchanging ideas would be more productive than refusing to attend and communicate. Pat Kaatz Kamloops Editor: Good on some of our politicians. Hopefully, not many will attend the Chinasponsored reception at September’s

UBCM convention in Vancouver. China has not proven it is a decent country and continues to have horrible humanitarian policies. I do not think we should carry on with the reception and it should never again be scheduled with such a totalitarian country. In fact, it should never have been held in the first place.

McDonald Park has officially gone to the dogs Josh and Sarah Manongdo enjoy playing with Nova, a malamute cross, and Maya, a border collie, on Tuesday at the new dog park in McDonald Park. Josh said he remembers swimming in the park as a kid when the pool was operating. He said he sees the dog park as a good use for the space. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER

North Shore pups have a new place to stretch their legs. A new dog park has officially opened in McDonald Park, at 501 McDonald Ave. in North Kamloops. It is about a half-acre in size, with the fencedoff park located where an outdoor swimming pool previously presided. “The reaction has been really positive,” City of Kamloops parks supervisor Shawn Cook said. The initiative was brought forward by the McDonald Park Neighbourhood Association. Spokesperson Sarah Johnstone said the neighbourhood wanted a place for people to take their dogs off-leash and to introduce a new user group to the park, to deter undesirable activities such as loiter-
ing and drug use. Johnstone said space behind the change room building where the pool used to be has not been utilized, drawing transients. “It’s really close to the water park and play-
ground where kids are at,” she said, calling the new dog park a “winwin” for the neighbourhood. The city previously upgraded lighting and the playground in McDonald Park.
Johnstone said the neighbourhood association is now spearheading a $20,000 community mural project to deter graffiti and vandalism in the washroom and change room buildings. The association is
seeking financial support, having raised $7,000 so far, in addition to a $4,000 grant from the city. The murals will be sealed with a clear coat that makes it easy to wipe off graffiti.
They are expected to be unveiled at a block party in the park at the end of September. Meanwhile, the city now manages a total of six fenced, off-leash dog parks. The next closest dog parks are on Ord Road in Brocklehurst and downtown on River Street, with others in Aberdeen, Juniper Ridge and Westsyde. Cook said Dallas has also requested a dog park. In addition to dog parks, the city has numerous multi-use parks and trails that offer on- and off-leash options for Kamloops residents and their furry friends.
The park cost about $15,000, with fencing all that was needed. The city installed turf and irrigation three or four years ago following the closure of the outdoor pool. No added costs are expected going forward, as city crews are already mowing the grass. “It’s really a net-zero,” Cook said, noting it is a cheap amenity to oversee. Smith said fenced dog parks have grown in popularity across North America during the last two decades, providing a contained and social atmosphere.

RYAN PROVENCHER AND RICHARD SCURR ARE FROM SURREY KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A close friend of the families of missing Surrey men Ryan Provencher and Richard Scurr has issued a plea for more information that may lead to discovering their whereabouts. Rhonda McKelvie said family and friends of the men are “desperate for news” and urged anyone with any information to come forward to assist the RCMP in the ongoing search. “Both have young daughters and missed picking them up; both have missed family vacations,” McKelvie said. “They have a lot of people that love them. We need to get them home.” Provencher, 38 and Scurr, 37 were last seen in the 16400-block of 23A Avenue in South Surrey at approximately 12:30 p.m. on July 17. Police say they were planning to travel to Spences Bridge, south of Ashcroft. Four days later, on July 21, the vehicle in which they were last seen — a white 2019 Jeep Cherokee — was discovered, unoccupied, in a wooded area near Logan Lake. RCMP Cpl, Elenore Sturko told KTW on Tuesday that there is no
new information to release, other than to note one of the two men travelled regularly to Spences Bridge as he has a business in the area. Sturko said the Jeep, which was not burned or otherwise damaged, has been examined in Kamloops by police, with results of the detailed forensic work still to come. She said police are asking for witnesses to come forward with any information, be it sightings of Provencher and Scurr or dashboard or surveillance video that may help investigators. Sturko said police believe the pair made it to Spences Bridge, but have no information on their travels after arriving in the community. She said police continue to work on a timeline of the men’s movements since they were last seen. “We’re looking to still confirm that they reached their original destination, and to see if we can find any video of them at any points during their trip,” Sturko said. Police said last week that there were no initial signs of foul play when the Jeep was recovered. An an extensive land and air search of nearby wooded areas led to the
conclusion that the men were not in the area. Sturko said she could not speak to online comments on news reports that have suggested the disappearances are connected to criminal and gang activity. “Whether or not people had past involvement with the police has no effect on how an investigation is conducted,” she said. “We look at all aspects of someone’s background and associations and we go where the evidence leads us. We really do encourage people to come forward with any information that could help.” Provencher is white, 38 years old and has a slim build. He stands 5-foot-10, weighs 180 pounds and has short, brown hair and blue eyes. Scurr is white, 37 years old and has an athletic build. He stands 6-foot-4, weighs 220 pounds and has brown hair (worn in a brush cut) and brown eyes. Police are asking anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the men to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Information can also be left online at solvecrime.ca. — with files from the Peace Arch News

Clear skies for rest of 2019 X Fest X FEST
TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
The curtain will be closing on X Fest 2019 this weekend and, while the skies haven’t remained entirely clear, they have been free of wildfire smoke that infiltrated performances in recent years. “Last year wasn’t as big an impact, but definitely the year before,” said Dušan Magdolen, artistic producer for Project X Theatre, about the effect B.C. wildfires have had on the outdoor theatre production. “Sales were tracking super high and then it dropped.” Sales for this year have been strong, with Magdolen predicting the 2019 iteration will be X Fest’s third-best-attended festival, with a chance attendance numbers this week might place it even higher. This is the 14th year for X Fest, which brings theatre to the outdoor venue of Prince Charles Park, downtown at Columbia Street and 11th Avenue. The productions are frequently adaptations of classic children’s stories.
WHAT: Two plays: Cinderella/Jack and the Beanstalk WHEN: Through Aug. 3, various times WHERE: Prince Charles Park TICKETS: Online at projectxtheatre.com or at Moviemart, St. Paul Street and Fourth Avenue
This year, Project X Theatre has adapted Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. Magdolen said that while the group has looked for alternative, indoor venues for when the weather isn’t supportive of an outdoor show, he noted rain, not smoke, has traditionally been the bigger problem. Unfortunately, nailing down an alternate venue is challenging in Kamloops. Locations are available, but Magdolen noted it can be expensive to hold a venue for three weeks without ever knowing if it will need to be used. On the other hand, without a backup venue, too many missed shows might
mean the cancellation of a particular year’s X Fest. “It’s a scary thing for us, for sure,” he said. “We’re aware it’s a risk factor and we need to address it at some point.” X Fest concludes this week with performances of Cinderella on Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., with a pay-what-you can matinee on Saturday at 2 p.m., followed by a regular show at 7 p.m. Performances of Jack and the Beanstalk will take place on Friday at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. There will also be an improv show on Friday at 9:30 p.m., featuring guests from local theatre group The Freudian Slips. “The response has been amazing this year. People seem to really be digging the show,” Magdolen said. Tickets are available online at projectx theatre.ca or at Moviemart, downtown at St. Paul St. and Fourth Avenue. Mother Nature appears to be a fan as the forecast for the final nights of X Fest is spectacular, with clear skies and warm temperatures expected all week and through the B.C. Day long weekend.

Frymire’s Community Confluence shimmers in the Kamloops sun MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
housands of aluminum tiles now shimmer in the sun, displaying the familiar topography of the River City through the mosaic Community Confluence, which is wrapped around the city-owned Lansdowne Street parkade. The City of Kamloops celebrated the completion of the newest piece of public art on Friday outside the parkade with the unveiling of a plaque and speeches from artist Bill Frymire, Deputy Mayor Kathy Sinclair and Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association executive director Carl DeSantis. “Who would have imagined this parking structure would become a canvass and a way to continue the city’s beautification plan?” Sinclair told a crowd of about 40 people gathered for the event. “Just know that your vehicles are wrapped by beauty for the time you’re here,”
DeSantis said. The art piece features bird’s-eye view of the rivers that carve out Kamloops and is composed of 80,000 powder-coated aluminum tiles, which come in three sizes and 20 colours and represent the population of Kamloops. The tiles are fashioned to a metal wire mesh, grouped together in large diamond shapes of hues that fade into each other. “That’s kind of the way I see society working and the city working, where people can be part of one community group and another one and there’s some interaction in between,” Frymire said. The 7,000 tiles that form the rivers are kinetic and refractive, mimicking the movement and shimmer of water when touched by the sun and wind. The concept behind Community Confluence is to illustrate both the joining of the rivers and the gathering of people around them, Frymire said. “The density of the tiles is more towards the centre, where the two rivers
meet up,” he said. Frymire said the tiles are clustered together near the confluence of the rivers and more sporadic the farther out they are, representative of Kamloops’ population density. The local artist has completed other mosaics, but nothing of this scale to date. The mosaic, which was in development throughout the spring as crews worked to fasten each tile, is 37 feet tall and 356 feet wide and covers three of the parkade’s four sides. Frymire described the project as a communal effort. “I tried to use local people to create [it],” he said. “We had everyone from 15-year-old students to my 91-year-old dad working on the project.” Frymire’s secondlargest project depicts indigenous species of frogs and turtles for the Borden Natural Swimming Pool in Edmonton. He is also the artist behind the 16-foot mosaic on the fence of the outdoor basketball court at TRU, depicting Kamloops NBA star Kelly Olynyk.

Outdoor rescues keep Kamloops firefighters busy PULLING MAN FROM RIVER AND WOMAN FROM STEEP SLOPE IS ALL PART OF A DAY’S WORK MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER

Plucking a man from the Thompson River and aiding a women who sustained
an ankle fracture in Peterson Creek Park has Kamloops Fire Rescue reminding the public to be vigilant while outdoors. On Monday at about 2 p.m. firefight-
ers were called in by Kamloops RCMP to rescue a middle-aged man spotted floating down the river. A crew of four firefighters pulled the man into their boat
near Rabbit Island, said KFR platoon Capt. Wade Lindoff. Lindoff said the man was responsive and brought ashore near the Sandbar Grill. Police were
responding to a caller concerned for the man’s safety when he was spotted in the water somewhere between Riverside Park and Overlanders Bridge.
The man was brought to Royal Inland Hospital as a precaution, but he did not appear to have any injuries, Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. At about 7:40 p.m. on Sunday, firefighters responded to Peterson Creek Park downtown, where a woman had fallen near the main waterfall in the park. Firefighters tended to the woman’s injuries and wheeled her out of the park to a waiting ambulance,
Lindoff said. The call came in as a hiker who had fallen and sustained broken limbs, Lindoff said, noting he did not know the height from which she fell, nor the circumstances under which the accident occurred. Lindoff advised hikers to be aware of steep areas of the park and swimmers to ensure they avoid portions of the river where there is a strong current.
Savona wildfire under control KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Jimmies Creek wildfire burning near Savona is now under control, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service. The fire is located 10 kilometres west of Savona on the south side of the river near the Canadian Pacific rail line. On Monday, air tankers were able to use retardant drops to stop the fire from growing and it is now estimated at five hectares. B.C. Wildfire Service information officer Kelsey Dunkley said crews were completing the mop-up stage on Tuesday. There has been no word on cause.
Where car insurance is heading. From September 2019, we’re moving to an insurance model that’s more driver-based. This means how long you’ve been driving for and your crash history will play a bigger role in determining premiums. Plus, if someone causes a crash in your car, it’ll go on their driving record, not yours. With this shift, all drivers will be held more accountable for their driving decisions.

Riding from Kamloops to Alberta to help end youth homelessness

RIDE TO REACH IS RAISING MONEY FOR A WAY HOME KAMLOOPS SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A pack of 30 bikes roared its way out of the River City on Friday, en route to Alberta to raise funds to help end youth homelessness. Ride to Reach is a charitable organization formed by Justin O’Connor and Tim Kasten. Its riders, from Kamloops and Kelowna, take part in pledge drives to raise money for causes involving youth. “It’s all about community, grassroots and people who are frontline workers and have no budget,” Kasten said. Ride to Reach came together nine years ago and has supported various charities every year since, rotating between organizations in Kelowna and Kamloops. This year, it will support A Way Home Kamloops, which is working to end youth homelessness. “In the first ride, we raised $500 and thought, OK, we had 12 people and this
was kind of fun, let’s do it again. Fast forward to now, it’s our ninth annual and we’ve raised $80,000 over the years,” he said. Kasten, who is a carpentry instructor at Thompson Rivers University, is one of more than 30 riders who have embarked on the local fundraising effort. A Way Home is run by Katherine McParland, who is leading its efforts to develop the Safe Suites program — a venture she estimates will cost about $400,000 annually to operate. If the Ride to Reach effort is fully supported — it has raised $29,990 of its $50,000 goal as of Friday morning — that would mean about $140,000 has thus far been raised for the program. “We’re hoping to open the Safe Suites program this fall, but we’re having difficulties finding an appropriate location, so our hope is to even just get a temporary location so we can get kids off the street,” McParland said.
A permanent location, she said, would be somewhere accessible that has various sorts of housing options for youth to use. “A combination of communal housing, so youth who come off the streets can live with peers, as well as a continuum of independent options, so as youth gain independence and need more privacy as they do wellness work, they’re still supported,” she said. McParland said government has been supportive, noting it typically wants to see an organization at least partially fund its own operations before stepping in with further funding. She said the organization’s work with government includes formulating a provincial plan to end youth homelessness, involving as many as 10 government ministries from education to housing.

years, we will need to make substantial investment in our fleet, replacing buses and adding 350 more.” The program is meant to support provincial targets for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by 60 per cent by 2040. It will involve transitioning the fleet to electric, following the replacement schedule of each bus type, starting with the heavy-duty buses. BC Transit plans to buy only electric heavy-duty buses as of 2023. To bridge the transition, it will switch to low-carbon technologies, such as CNG buses that run
on renewable natural gas. It will start introducing CNG buses and fuelling infrastructure to Victoria and the central Fraser Valley, adding 34 medium-duty and 68 heavy-duty buses to its current fleet of 120 CNG buses that operate in Kamloops, Nanaimo and Whistler. In 2024, it will buy only electric double-decker buses, only electric light-duty buses such as the ones used by HandyDart in 2025 and only electric medium-duty 30- and 35-foot buses in 2028. Lamb said it’s “premature” to peg how electrifying its fleet would cost, although ini-
tial projections are about $1 million per large bus. He said BC Transit is working with BC Hydro to conduct site assessments of locations across the province to determine energy capacity and necessary infrastructure upgrades. Last week, BC Transit and the provincial and federal governments announced the purchase of the first 10 heavy-duty electric buses in Greater Victoria as part of a larger $79-million program in 118 new buses. Those electric vehicles are expected to hit the road in 2021. — Vancouver Sun

Family and friends visit with Tory Jones in Vancouver General Hospital, where he is reocvering following a car accident.
Fundraiser launched for family KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
An online fundraising campaign has been launched to raise money to help the family of a Kamloops man who was seriously injured in a motor-vehicle accident. On July 23, Jones was the passenger in a car that hit a hydro pole and was launched 93 feet away, just west of Vernon. Jones was taken by ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital because he couldn’t feel his legs. After further evaluation and a CT scan, it was discovered his T12 vertebrae was shattered and he needed to be transported to Vancouver General Hospital, where doctors could better treat his injuries. Jones was flown to Vancouver, where he underwent surgery on July 24 to place rods and screws in his spine. While the surgery went well, he has not regained feeling in his legs. Jones is expected to remain in hospital for at least a month during his initial recovery. Rob and Kelly Charon have created the online fundraiser. “Our goal is to raise as much

money as we can to help reduce the financial worries that come with this stressful situation,” they posted on the site, which can be found at https://www.gofundme. com/f/tory-jones-and-family. As of Tuesday, the campaign had raised $19,000 for the Jones family. Jones is a certified utility arborist and the sole provider for wife Chelsea and children Kaisha, 6, and Eli, 2. Wife Chelsea posted the following on the site on July 25: “Tory’s doing amazing post surg. Tonight was great to see
him joking & of course picking on me like usual. I will be speaking with doctors tomorrow morning about his surgery so I can get some clarification on the procedure etc. Big big thanks to everyone for all the love and support... “We have a frickin army behind us and we are beyond thankful & grateful for everyone and everything. “Words can’t even describe how wild the past couple days have been! It’s all a healing game from now on please keep on praying.”
Hospital auxiliaries in Kamloops are embarking on a five-year plan to raise $2.5 million for the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation to buy equipment for the hospital expansion. RIH is undergoing a $417-million expansion as construction continues on a nine-storey patient-care tower that will include 14 private ante/postpartum patient rooms, six private labour delivery and recovery rooms, three paediatric psychiatry private rooms and 11 operating rooms. The building is expected to open in the summer of 2022. More than 180 volunteers make up the Afternoon and Evening Royal Inland Hospital auxiliaries. In the past, the auxiliaries have raised money for X-ray machines, scopes, surgical equipment, beds and more. “It takes a lot of work to make these kinds of goals happen,” said Lynn Littlejohns, president of the Afternoon Auxiliary. “We pledge for the equipment according to the needs of the hospital and then fundraise to the pledge. “Our goal is to always meet these commitments for the care that people deserve.” The Afternoon Auxiliary, which has more than 160 volunteers, has pledged $1.65 million to RIH over the next five years, with funds to be raised through the Victoria Street Thrift Seller, the RIH Gift Store, mobile carts and its vendor program. The Evening Auxiliary, which has 20 volunteers, has pledged to raise $850,000 for the hospital over the next five years. Its funds are generated through contract work, including leasing the on-site coffee shop, vending machines and in-room TVs at RIH, as well as its annual Craft-a-Fair, the largest craft fair in British Columbia. “We’re proud of our dedication and commitment to fundraising for the hospital because we’re very proud of our hospital,” said Evening Auxiliary president Jenny Quince. “We’re very fortunate to have the care we do. There are so many positive things that happen in RIH every day.”

Herman steps down as NSBIA president BECAUSE HE IS NO LONGER EMPLOYED BY CHANCES CASINO, OR ANY OTHER NORTH SHORE BUSINESS, NSBIA BYLAWS DICTATE A CHANGE BE MADE AT THE TOP OF THE ASSOCIATION’S LADDER JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The North Shore Business Improvement Association is shifting leadership following the unexpected departure of its president from a Brocklehurst business. The NSBIA will replace board president Bryce Herman midway through his term with vice-president Andrew Watson, pending a meeting in late August to finalize the change. NSBIA executive director Jeremy Heighton said all active board members must represent commercial property in North Kamloops, according to NSBIA bylaws, noting Herman’s employment status recently changed.
“As a result of that, we had to effectively change his leadership,” Heighton said. Having been with the NSBIA on and off for a decade, including about three years as president, Bryce Herman said he is no longer employed at Chances Casino on Halston Avenue. Herman has long been the face of Chances, in addition to myriad other community initiatives, including the Kamloops Rotary Ribfest and Y Dream Home Lottery. Reached by KTW, Herman provided no additional details about his departure. “Unfortunately, at the advice of my lawyer, I can say nothing further at this time,” he said. Herman had planned for another term as NSBIA president.
What he does next has yet to be determined, though he said he will be forging ahead in getting his hands sticky during this August’s Ribfest. Asked about his continued community presence, he said: “I hope to be. It certainly does change the dynamics of what I do in the community.” Heighton called Herman a “friend of the North Shore” and said he helped the organization put a strong plan in place, with momentum that will continue. Watson helped found No Limits Fitness in North Kamloops and owns Supplement King in Northills Shopping Centre. Heighton said Watson brings with him a strong fiscal background as a community leader in the fitness industry.

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce brought seven policies forward during a meeting last week provincial government representatives. On Tuesday, July 23, 11 chambers of commerce from the Thompson-Okanagan region met with 18 provincial government representatives — including deputy ministers and assistant deputy ministers across 12 ministries —to discuss issues affecting busi nesses in the region. The Kamloops chamber was represented by executive director Acacia Pangilinan and board director Colin O’Leary at the Kelowna meeting.
The chamber group spoke on the following: • Taxation (competitiveness); • Species-At-Risk Act legislation and impacts on business; • Transportation and infrastructure; • Emergency preparedness. Thompson-Okanagan regional concerns included: • Developing sufficient stock of accessible market and rental housing; • Accelerating the development of transportation infrastructure; • Supporting a prosperous tree fruit sector; • Improving health care with
TRU achieves accreditation status Thompson Rivers University has achieved accreditation status through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). TRU president Brett Fairbairn said the accreditation was not expected for at least another two years. Accreditation is an external review process that attests to the credibility and effectiveness of an institution in fulfilling its mission.
Lake Life
Our family loves spending time on many of the beautiful BC lakes. The other night around the campfire, a few couples got to talking about what it takes to buy a cabin on a lake or ski hill. Cabins provide the opportunity to gather, have great times & build a family legacy. Before jumping in head first, here are some considerations:
Generally you will need to come up with at least a 20% down payment and finance the rest using the available equity in your cabin or home through refinancing or using a home-equity line of credit. If you are selling investments to make the purchase, consider chatting with your advisor and accountant to make a tax-friendly plan.
Cabin wish list: From location to long-term use, create a list of what is important to you and your family. • How far are you willing to drive? • Are you looking for something with all of the amenities, or maybe something a bit more rustic? • How often will you be hosting family and friends and potentially need extra space? • Will you use the space year round? • How much maintenance is required? (Landscaping, renovations, snow removal, etc.)
Draft a sample budget to ensure you can afford all 12 months of costs for perhaps only a few months of pleasure. Overhead such as taxes, leases, utilities, strata or condo fees and the like can easily add over $10,000 per year in costs.
We recommend trying the lifestyle for at least one or two years before committing a large amount of time and money into buying a cabin.
Considering renting it out? This can be a great way to help pay for your slice of paradise. Keep in mind the most popular weeks you want to be at the cabin are often the most lucrative for renting. Consider leaving the long weekends to the renters and enjoying top dollar revenues. A few tips: • Do your research. Airbnb and VRBO are popular websites for seeing what comparable cabins are renting for. • Get it in writing. A rental agreement covering items such as number of guests, pets, rules, and damage deposits can significantly improve your renting experience. • Consult a professional. There are tax considerations for renting out a cabin and we recommend consulting a tax specialist beforehand. • Check your insurance. Do you need additional or special insurance if you are renting?
Coming up with the cash: Cabins in BC (and virtually across Canada) are expensive. The majority of us will require some type of financing and lenders often have stricter rules around cabins. Some properties on even the most desirable lakes do not qualify for financing at all.

physician extenders; • Growing an aerospace innovation cluster. “Bringing forward policies to government that are powered by our membership is an important part of the work of the Kamloops Chamber,” local chamber president Joshua Knaak said. “We brought forward key issues our members face and had the opportunity to engage in good dialogue with the government representatives.” The B.C. Chamber and its member chapters will be meeting with government in regions across the province over the next three months.
Remember to also budget for furniture, beds, linens, dishes, utensils and other sundries. Garage sales, classified ads and online communities can be a great way to save as you outfit your cabin.
TD Wealth Private Investment Advice
TRU’s path to accreditation began 10 years ago with preliminary discussions among senior leaders and faculty. In the absence of a national accreditation body, TRU looked south to the Washingtonbased NWCCU, which oversees accreditation in seven states and has evaluated two other B.C. institutions. Following Capilano and Simon Fraser universities, TRU is the third Canadian university accredited by the independent, non-profit agency.
Plan for the long term: While you can picture yourself in a cabin now, be sure to think ahead three, five and 10 years: • Do your kids/grandkids enjoy being at the lake? • Does your family have busy sport or social schedules that will limit your enjoyment of the recreational property? • Are your kids/grandkids only a few years away from being at an age where independence, friends and part-time jobs take over? • Do you want to pass on your cabin to the next generation? What will this look like? • Could you be in a situation where you need to sell quickly? Real Estate can take months or even years to sell. Lastly, if you own a cabin that has appreciated significantly in value, it may make sense to designate it as your primary residence and qualify for the capital gains tax exemption. The primary residence exemption allows every family (limit of one per couple since 1982) to designate one residence they wish to claim as their "primary residence" and would be exempt from paying capital gains upon sale. By doing so you could potentially save tens of thousands of dollars. This is a complex strategy with some moving parts and the use of a tax professional is highly recommended. Hopefully this helps give you something to think about the next time you are sitting around a campfire. Until next time... Invest Well. Live Well.

It was the first time he strapped on spikes and was afforded top-class coaching and facilities. “Dylan’s like, ‘If you want to do something, you’ve got to come here, where you have the stuff,’” Spencer said. “Quesnel doesn’t even have high jump mats.” Spencer established a personal-best of 2.01m and won gold in the U18 division at the 2018 National Legion Track and Field Championships last summer in Brandon.

This year has been a grind for Spencer, who graduated from Sa-Hali secondary, lived with a billet family and trained for high jump, but ran into injury problems. He tore a ligament in his right ankle in February, an injury that eventually led to patella tendinitis in his left leg, his jumping leg. “When I would try to jump, it would just collapse, basically,” said Spencer, who got a job serving in the box suites at Kamloops Blazers’ games and other events. “For the past three weeks leading up to nationals, all it’s been every day is no-impact knee work — physio, swimming, deep-water running, band work. Just a crazy amount of stuff. I was just praying all the physio and training and swimming would pay off and it did.” See STEWART, A22

SLOAN SECURES PLAYOFF BERTH, 2020 PGA TOUR CARD MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Titleist, Royal Bank of Canada and Bear Mountain Resort in Victoria are in on the ground floor with Roger Sloan, sponsors who must be tickled with their investment. The 32-year-old PGA Tour golfer from Merritt posted his second consecutive top-10 finish, tying for seventh at the Barracuda Championship on the weekend in Reno to claim a paycheque for $105,438. Sloan has finished T7, T10, T15 and T21 in his last four events and rifled up
the FedExCup standings, sitting 91st with one event remaining in the regular season — the Wyndham Championship, which gets underway on Thursday in Greensboro, N.C. He is locked in for the FedExCup playoffs for the first time in his career. “It’s very satisfying, very exciting,” said Sloan, who has secured his PGA Tour
card for next season by virtue of a guaranteed finish inside the top 125 in FedExCup standings. “We’re looking forward to putting a little playoff run together.” Better results mean bigger tournaments, more money and bountiful TV time, all things that attract sweeter sponsorship deals. Sloan and wife Casey are agents for Team Sloan. They once had representation, but the relationship did not pan out. “My wife and I felt that we can take care of the business side of it on our own,” Sloan said. “There may be a day where our time man-
agement needs to be better utilized and business relationships tended to a little bit more. That would be the time to pursue representation.” There are three events on the FedExCup post-season slate in 2019. The top 125 get into the Northern Trust in Jersey City, N.J. Golfers who remain in the top 70 after the Northern Trust will compete at the BMW Championship in Medinah, Ill. There are quadruple FedExCup points (2,000) up for grabs in the first two playoff events. The way Sloan is playing, reaching
the BMW is well within the realm of possibility. The Tour Championship in Atlanta will feature the top 30 vying for the title of FedExCup champion, which comes with $15 million. First up is the Wyndham and a return to Bermuda greens, which appeal to the 6-foot-2, 175-pound blonde-locked sharpshooter, who earned a sleeperpick nod this week from Rob Bolton on pgatour.com. “Living now in Texas, I think it’s just the familiarity,” Sloan said when asked why he is comfortable on Bermuda greens. “It’s different than what we grew up on in Canada.
There is a lot of grain associated with it. If you’re down grain, it’s a lot faster than when you’re into the grain.” Sloan said Sedgefield Country Cub is an oldschool Donald Rossdesigned course, one that does not require a complicated game plan. “Put the ball in front of you, hit good quality iron shots into the green and give yourself good puts. And patience,” Sloan said. “Put all those together, stick to your strategy and you’ll have a good week.” Sloan has racked up $973,296 this season, pushing his career earnings to more than $1.8 million.
Thrash books September return to MSG MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Attendance was a tad down from Thrash Wrestling’s show in May, its first in Kamloops in a decade, but promoter Nick Szalanski is nowhere near ready to power bomb operations in the Tournament Capital. “Summer is a little tougher, so it was down from last time, but we probably had over 100 people there,” Szalanski said. “It was a good crowd. Come July, you’re struggling a bit at any venue.” Thrash is booked to return to Moccasin Square Gardens (334 Chief Alex Thomas Way) in Kamloops on Sept. 6. The River City’s MSG may not be the perfect venue for a pro wrestling event — liquor has not been sold at the shows and temperatures can soar in summertime — but the company is happy to make do for now. “It’s a nice place,” Szalanski said. “It’s a little bit out of town, but the more you do it, people just know that’s where wrestling is, that’s where you can see it. I don’t think it will really be a problem to draw people there.” Thrash has partnered with Thunder Boyz Productions, marketing and media specialists based in Falkland. The production company has been filming Thrash shows, creating content that can be used for online sales, promotion and marketing. “They’re recording and producing a YouTube show, an online series,” Szalanski said. “With any luck, we can sell it to a TV station down the road, pick up more advertising.”

Stewart claims Canadian title in shot put From A21
Spencer will take a few months off to heal before training ramps up ahead of next season. Goals for 2020 include improving his personal best to boost his chances of snaring a full-ride scholarship to a Division 1 NCAA school and qualifying for the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Nairobi, Kenya. “Mainly, it’s to get a full-ride scholarship, to get a great education and set my life up,” Spencer said. “For high jump, you don’t really peak until you’re 29 or 30. It’s a
long-term game, pretty much.” NATIONAL NOTABLES Kamloops Track and Field Club athletes Greg Stewart, Josh Farrell and Phoebe Price-Roberts also hit the podium at nationals in Montreal.
Stewart placed first with a throw of 15.14m and Farrell was second with a heave of 14.22m in the men’s shot put para ambulatory event. Farrell’s throw, a personal best, set a Canadian record in the F20 para-athletics category. He trains with Armstrong in Kamloops, but competed at nationals for Saugeen Track and Field Club. Stewart threw a personal-best of 15.82m earlier this month, unofficially the second-longest distance thrown by anyone on the planet this year in his category. He is training to peak at two events later this year — the Parapan American
Games, which run from Aug. 23 to Sept. 1 in Lima, Peru, and the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai in November. Price-Roberts won bronze in U20 women’s hammer throw, with a mark of 54.02m. Matthew Arnold launched the implement 50.42m to place fifth in U20 men’s hammer throw. Armstrong will accompany four KTFC throws athletes — Arnold, Kian Zabihi, Cole Bibby and Elliott Payne — to the U16 and U18 Legion Youth National Track and Field Championships, which will run from Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 in Cape Breton.

atharine Pendrel’s most recent blog post is worth a read. The 38-year-old cross-country mountain biker, a prolific rider and hero to many in Kamloops and across Canada, discusses changes in motivation, results, her body and training techniques — the prose of an aging athlete questioning performance and recalculating goals. Results have waned since 2016, when Pendrel claimed her third overall World Cup title and won bronze at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, capping a five-year stretch that included two world championship victories, a stint that solidified her Canadianbiking-legend status. Injuries, including a broken arm that scuttled much of her 2018 campaign, have factored into the slump, along with the hangover year in 2017, when the mental and physical stresses that accompanied a banner 2016 season took their toll. But how much of the decline is about circumstance and how much is about the elephant in the room — her age? The final stretch of this 2019 campaign will be revealing. Pendrel, once a fixture near the top of World Cup standings and world rankings,

sits outside the top 10 in both categories — “I was supposed to be GOOD!,” she wrote in the blog, recalling a period of self-doubt. Emily Batty, 31, bested Pendrel on July 20 in Ontario to earn her fourth straight Canadian title. Pendrel did not compete in the 2018 and 2016 national championships. Haley Smith, 26, is the top-ranked Canadian in the world, sitting fifth overall, nine spots ahead of Pendrel, a six-time national champion who has not worn the Canadian crown since 2015. Batty and Smith look a lot like the future. Pendrel, who is originally from Fredericton, has not finished higher than 12th in any of the four 2019 World Cup events and is 13th in overall standings, with stop No. 5 scheduled for this weekend in Val di Sole, Italy.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Leo Quirin Loehr It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family of Leo Quirin Loehr announce his passing on July 26, 2019 in Kamloops, BC at the age of 89 years. Leo was born in Humboldt, Saskatchewan on June 10, 1930 to parents Quirin John Loehr and Agnes Mary (née Kopp). Survived by his loving wife and best friend of 59 years Joan Patricia (née Piper) Loehr, children Geoffrey (Nicole), Regan (Shelly), Kent, Joel, Jarett (Patricia), Mary (Kleo), grandchildren Tyler, Brandon (Andrea), Kaleena (Joseph), Kyle, Olivia, Hermione, Ava, Sophia, Isabel, Nikolas, Annella, Paulina, James, five great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, brother-in-law Ted (Rolande) Piper and sister-in-law Linda Edwardson. Predeceased by his parents Quirin and Agnes, as well as his siblings Fr. Phillip, Eugene, Gerald, Annie, Margaret, Helen, Monica and Genevieve. Leo moved to Kamloops in the early 1950s and met the love of his life soon after. They married on January 9, 1960 and he was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather until his passing. Over their lifetime together, Leo and Joan owned numerous country properties throughout the region and some of his children’s fondest memories include horseback riding, spending time outdoors and building tree forts with their father. Leo lived his Catholic faith and raised his family with those teachings in mind. He was a Fourth-Degree member of the Knights of Columbus and a member of the men’s choir. He spent many hours volunteering at St. Ann’s Academy during his children’s school years.

David Jonathan (Jon) Wandler January 4, 1974 - July 19, 2019
It is with great sorrow that the family of David Jonathan (Jon) Wandler wish to announce his sudden passing from complications of metastatic bladder cancer at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. Jon will be sadly missed by his loving wife of almost 18 years Nathalie (née Leger), his son Tristan (16) and his daughter Brooke (14), his mother Trudy King-Skynner (Peter) in Ontario, father David Wandler (Marjorie) in Nova Scotia, brother James (Jennifer) and nephews Robert and Thomas in Ontario, mother-in-law Francine Leger in New Brunswick, brothers-in-law Martin in NB and Luc in BC as well as many other aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends spread across the country. Jon was born in Toronto, Ontario. He spent his childhood in Markham, Ontario where he played many high school sports including basketball and football. He spent many summers at his family’s beloved cottage on Koshlong Lake in the Haliburton Highlands. He became a camper and then a counselor at Camp Wanakita which is a YMCA camp located on their lake. He was thrilled that a few years ago his own kids had the chance to experience camp life the same way he did. In 1996, Jon packed up his Isuzu Impulse and headed West. He visited many of his Wandler relatives in Saskatchewan and Alberta on his way to Kamloops where he landed a summer job at Chapters Viewpoint restaurant. He loved living in the mountains so he decided to enroll in the Bachelor of Tourism Management program at the University College of the Cariboo (now Thompson Rivers University). In 1997, he met the love of his life Nathalie while rowing on Shumway Lake and their incredible life together began. Four years to the day they met, they got married in
Throughout his life, Leo enjoyed bowling, placer mining, floor curling (especially in the BC Seniors’ Games), trips to Reno, reading westerns, spending time with his horses and attending his children and grandchildren’s sporting events, concerts and birthday parties. He was an avid Toronto Blue Jays fan and Kamloops Blazers enthusiast and season ticket holder. His love of hockey extended to coaching each of his son’s teams for many years. Leo was a family man to the end and recently celebrated his 89th birthday surrounded by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who all live in the area. They were his greatest life achievement, and his eyes would light up when he saw them. Holiday and life events were a family affair in the Loehr family and Leo was always at the centre of these celebrations. The size of Leo’s heart and generosity was a great reflection of the love of his family and his passing will leave a significant impact on all who knew him. His memory will live on within the hearts of his family and friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Kraig Montalbetti for his care over the years and Father Fred Weisbeck for his ongoing support. Prayers will be held at Holy Family Parish, on Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at 7:00 pm and the Funeral Mass will take place on Thursday, August 1, 2019 at 10:30 am at Holy Family Parish, located at 2797 Sunset Drive, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, donations in Leo’s memory can be made to the St. VIncent de Paul Society. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Tristan was born in October 2002 and when Brooke arrived in August of 2004, their family was complete. Jon worked very hard to support his family, working long hours at Chapter’s Viewpoint, TRU and Costco before eventually starting his career, 13 years ago, as a real estate appraiser for BC Assessment, a job he truly enjoyed. Jon was a very friendly, kind, warm, fun loving person as well as a devoted husband, father, son and friend. He was so proud of his children and was always present at their many sporting events, music recitals and school activities. He shared his love of the cottage with them during many fun family vacations in Ontario. He also insisted on the kids staying connected with the Wandler side of the family by making the long trek to Saskatchewan to attend the Wandler family reunions every few years. Jon had many interests including home renovations, hunting, camping, cooking, travelling and attending rock concerts. He developed many close friendships over the years while pursuing his interests. He loved and enjoyed making gourmet meals for his family. When he would sit down to eat one of those meals, he would look at his family and say “This would be a $40 dollar meal in any restaurant but we get to enjoy it from home”. He liked to keep busy and was always working on his next project, home renovation or repair. There wasn’t much he didn’t know how to do. He recently added a fantastic deck onto the back of our new downtown home so he could sit out and enjoy the sunsets over the mountains. Jon was always our hero but he proved to be more than that since his horrific diagnosis 11 short months ago. He fought courageously, going through numerous rounds of chemo and immunotherapy in order to stay with us as long as possible. While receiving treatment, he insisted on continuing to live his life to the fullest so he kept doing his renovations, working out when he had the energy and spending time with his family and

Just one month ago, he made it back to his favourite place, his cottage in Ontario, where he spent a week with his mum, enjoying the sights and sounds of his special place. Just prior to his passing, he enjoyed one last family adventure in Whistler Village which included a trip up into the mountains he loved so much to ride the Peak to Peak gondola.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Joyce Alexander
William Charles Alexandre
Merle P. Michels
William Charles Alexandre passed suddenly at the age of 70 on Sunday, July 21, 2019.
Merle P. Michels passed away in his sleep on July 11, 2019 at the age of 91.
October 31, 1948 - July 21, 2019
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dearly loved mother Joyce Alexander on Sunday, July 21, 2019 at the age of 81. Joyce (“Joy”) passed away just as the sun was rising over the Kamloops, BC hillside and the birds were starting to sing. She was surrounded by her loving children who will miss her dearly. Joy will be best remembered for her great love of family and her love of all creatures great and small. Her grandchildren spent endless summer hours playing in Nanny’s pool, enjoying her delicious baking and joining her for daily dog walks. Joy had a dog by her side all her life, providing her with much love, laughter and companionship. The spiders, squirrels and crows have also lost a dear friend. Joyce was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is also where she learned to love a good prairie wind; a love that remained all her life. She trained to be a Registered Nurse at the St. Boniface Hospital and worked several years there before meeting the love of her life Bill Alexander on a blind date. They married in August 1961 and remained happily together for 37 years. Their married life took Joy from Winnipeg to Vancouver, Mississauga, Minneapolis, New Liskeard and Burlington. When Joy was widowed at age 60 she moved to Kamloops, where she and Bill had planned to retire and resided there for the last 20 years. Joy always kept in contact with her family and small, close circle of friends, no matter how near or far they lived apart. Joyce is predeceased by her husband Charles William (“Bill”) Alexander and survived by her three children Duncan (Rosanna) Alexander, Nancy (Russell) Barnes and Donna (Rob) Brooks, her eight grandchildren Elizabeth, Alex, Madeline, Cameron, Laura, Katie, Ryan and Becky, sister Donna (Gordon) Graham and brother Dan (Edna) Barlow. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2019 in Kamloops, BC. Please R.S.V.P Nancy Barnes (nrbarnes@telus.net), with details to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Terry Fox Foundation (www.terryfox.org). Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324
His passing comes as a tragic shock to his family.

Born on October 31, 1948 in Princeton, BC to Charles and Blanche (Bland) Alexandre. The youngest of four children. He leaves behind his wife Gloria, sons Blaine and Micheal and grandchildren Brittany and Faith. He also leaves behind his older brother Ted Alexandre. He was predeceased by his parents and two sisters Carol Kilba and Betty Stockford.
