REGIONAL DISTRICT DRINKS TO THAT After much debate about the amount and types of booze involved, the TNRD board gave the nod to a taxpayerfunded, two-drink limit at events JESSICA WALLACE

GORDON GORE/KTW READER

ALL FAWN AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT

Westsyde Road can be a dangerous place for deer. The Hamlets resident Gordon Gore caught this photo of a fawn just after it jumped a fence and ran across the road. Gore was able to wave at an approaching driver to watch for the animal and the little deer made it across the street safely. While the fawn escaped harm from vehicles, a couple of hikers across town were busy dealing with a rather aggressive deer that did not take kindly to humans treading on its trail in Dallas. Turn to page A23 to read that story.

Should taxpayers pay for politicians and staff to drink alcohol while doing business on their behalf? The ThompsonNicola Regional District board has directed staff to amend its hospitality policy to include a new two-drink maximum clause for events such as a dinner the regional district hosts during the annual Union of BC Municipalities conference. The policy amendments will also strip the regional district CAO’s powers in approving events at which taxpayer-funded drinking occurs. The changes come after the regional district’s former CAO, Sukh Gill, left suddenly

in February with a sizeable severance package — more than half a million dollars — under murky circumstances, on which the regional district has said it will not comment. At the July 16 meeting, the regional district board was asked to provide direction to staff to amend its hospitality policy after two policies — one concerning the Union of BC Municipalities dinner and another dealing with TNRD-hosted events in general — were found to be inconsistent, staff said. Proposed amendments included adding a clause stipulating costs of guests or partners of invitees to TNRD-hosted events be the responsibility of the invitee. Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine, however, said the

regional district should have flexibility when hosting VIP dignitaries. TNRD board chair Ken Gillis agreed, detailing a situation wherein the TNRD invited a MLA and their partner to attend a TNRD-hosted event. “I would be kind of embarrassed about asking her [MLA] to reach into her purse to pay for her husband,” Gillis said. “I was rather hoping that we would have a bit of flexibility for the chair or the vice-chair to deal with situations like that and say, ‘Of course, by all means, bring your husband.’” The board voted to allow that discretion, with only Area E (Bonaparte Plateau) director Sally Watson opposed.

Glacial pace to prosecution of quintet THE FIVE MEN ABOVE ARE CHARGED WITH KILLING TROY GOLD IN 2018 TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

What has been described as the most complex investigation in the history of the Kamloops RCMP detachment has slowed to a crawl in court. Lawyers are now planning to meet with a judge behind closed doors to sort out the next steps in the prosecution of five men charged in connection with a gang-related 2018 murder. Prosecutors have not yet received approval to send Nathan Townsend, Jayden Eustache, Darien Rohel, John Daviss and Sean Scurt directly to trial, leaving lawyers facing the prospect of a threemonth preliminary inquiry on a file that will have been on the books for a year this September. The five accused are charged with seconddegree murder in connection with the death of Troy Gold, a 35-year-old Kamloops man who was reported missing in October 2018. Within weeks of his disappearance, Gold’s remains were found in the Lac du Bois area north of Kamloops. Townsend, Eustache, Rohel, Daviss and Scurt were arrested and charged in September 2019. They all remain in custody. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky has previously told KTW the investigation that led to the arrests of the five men was the most complex in the history of the city’s detachment. In January, Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone told a judge the case against the men would proceed by direct indictment — a legal move typically reserved for the most serious and complicated criminal cases, which denies the accused the right to a preliminary inquiry and instead sends them directly to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Direct indictments are used when prosecutors rely heavily on complex evidence, often involving wire taps. The manoeuvre requires the approval of

The remains of Troy Gold were found in the Lac du Bois grasslands, north of Kamloops, in the fall of 2018. He had been reported missing in October 2018.

the provincial attorney general’s office. Nearly six months after Firestone told court direct indictment would be used, it has not been approved. Firestone said she spoke to B.C.’s assistant deputy attorney general about the issue last week. “The Crown is continuing to seek a direct indictment,” she said in court on Monday. “But I have no news on that front. That being said, we are trying to move things toward scheduling a preliminary inquiry.” Firestone offered some estimates for how long a preliminary inquiry might take, ranging from five weeks to more than 11 weeks, depending on the evidence defence lawyers want to see. Preliminary inquiries are hearings in provincial court at which prosecutors typically present

a bare-bones version of their case, after which a judge decides whether to send the matter to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison, who last month urged lawyers to pick up the pace in the proceedings against the five accused, said Monday it’s prudent to prepare for a preliminary inquiry. “We’re no longer waiting for news on a direct indictment,” he said. “We’re moving forward.” Each of the five accused are represented by separate defence lawyers who were planning a Zoom call for sometime this week to discuss scheduling for preliminary inquiry and potential admissions of evidence. December was mentioned in court as one possibility for the start of a preliminary inquiry. It’s expected a subsequent trial would eat up at least another three months of court time, but the scheduling process for that cannot begin until direct indictment is approved or a preliminary inquiry is completed. Jordan guidelines, named for a 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision that put strict time limits on prosecutions, give the Crown 30 months to complete prosecutions of the five accused. The clock starts ticking when charges are laid, placing the finish line in March 2022. Harrison said he and the lawyers will have to meet off-the-record via videoconference to discuss the potential scheduling problems. Such meetings, behind closed doors and not open to the public, were made possible by the provincial government after the COVID-19 pandemic hit. They are an effort to speed files along and prevent an even greater backlog in B.C.’s courts. The five accused are slated to return to court on Aug. 6 for an update. The off-record meeting is expected to take place before then, likely at some point this week.

Thousands sign petition to expand Car 40 unit CAR 40 IS A PROGRAM THAT PAIRS A MENTAL-HEALTH PRACTITIONER WITH AN RCMP OFFICER AS THEY RESPOND TO MENTAL HEALTH-RELATED CALLS

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Four years ago, Elisha Hamilton lost her husband, Darrel, to suicide. The 37-year-old Thompson Rivers University student said the couple, living in Salmon Arm at the time, was separating and she received a call at work from Darrel, who had suicidal thoughts. Hamilton called the police. In hindsight, however, Hamilton said that call was not the right one. Police are trained to de-escalate, she said, but they are not mental-health professionals. She said her husband’s plans for suicide were not taken seriously. Now a social work student in Kamloops, Hamilton is backing city council’s call for Interior Health to increase funding for the Car 40 program, a service she said could have saved her husband’s life. Car 40 is a program that pairs a mental-health practitioner with an RCMP officer as they respond to calls involving mental-health situations. “If there was a service like Car 40, a psychiatric nurse would have come and done the assessment and taken that person, whoever it is

— let’s just say, my husband — and connected them with the resources or at least an assessment right then,” Hamilton said. “It could have changed things.” Earlier this year, Hamilton launched an online petition to expand the Car 40 program and the petition has since garnered nearly 6,000 online signatures. Hamilton said after her husband’s death, she moved to Kamloops and took a year off before enrolling in Thompson Rivers University’s social work program. In that program, Hamilton took a course focused on policy and an assignment asked her to find and fill a policy gap. She looked no further than the news, wherein Mayor Ken Christian had called for increased Car 40 services. That was back in 2018. It is two years later and mayor and Kamloops council are echoing that same request. During a recent community services committee meeting, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky and three council members — Christian and

councillors Dale Bass, Mike O’Reilly — said the Car 40 program needs to be expanded as files continue to pile up on the desks of police officers. In the first six months of 2020, Kamloops RCMP reported 900 files related to the Mental Health Act, but only 230 Car 40 interventions, in which a mental-health nurse and RCMP officer attend. Lecky said the city supports the program with two police officers, but noted only one nurse is funded by Interior Health. He said the service operates during the week and during daytime hours — not at night, which is part of the issue in not being able to address significant files related to the Mental Health Act. Interior Health said it needs to look at the whole picture, including specific needs of the community and “how to make the best use of available resources.” However, Hamilton told KTW if programs like Car 40 are not properly resourced, the health authority will bear the brunt of costs in other ways, such as emergency depart-

ments operating costs, where mental health emergencies often end up. In addition, she noted demand for family doctors and added strain on that system without mentalhealth supports. “If somebody keeps going to the emergency room because that’s where they’re brought in a mentalhealth emergency, and then they’re discharged, and then it happens again, and then they’re discharged because it’s not dealt with accordingly, then it’s costing more,” Hamilton said. Interior Health said meetings planned in the coming weeks will provide an opportunity to review what is in place and what may be needed to support the largest number of people in need of mentalhealth support. Meanwhile, Hamilton is reaching out to the city to offer her support in bid to prevent another family from experiencing what hers has had to endure. “My children are going to grow up without a father,” Hamilton said. “I’m going to have to explain

what happened to them one day, when they’re older. All I want is for me to say, ‘I didn’t do the right things then, but I am making sure that I know the right things to do now, so I can help another person.’” To sign the online petition in support of expanding the Car 40 program, go online change.org and search “Car 40.” A SAMPLE OF COMMENTS ON CAR 40 PETITION Calls for Car 40 expansion amongst those who have signed the petition online include: • “This should be a standard service available 24 hours. Mental health matters.” • “This program should be a Canada-wide initiative. Far too many people are dying by suicide and many young people are among those numbers.” • “Rural areas also need this program.” • “Situations involving mental health happen 24-seven. Not just Monday to Friday, nine-to-five.”

After being apart for months, Silvia Straka was able this past weekend to visit her father, Manfred Straka, at Berwick on the Park. Straka got 90 minutes with her dad and used them all.

Connecting with dad as pandemic restrictions ease MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Silvia Straka hadn’t been in the same room as her father in months. That changed this past Saturday when she was able to visit him at his residence in Berwick on the Park for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdowns of care homes across B.C. “I felt a thousand times better with my own mental health that I actually got to be in a room with my dad,” Straka said. “It was like such a weight was lifted off.” Her father, Manfred Straka, who turns 95 in a couple of weeks, has heart issues and dementia, requiring round-the-clock care in the Brio Unit of the seniors’ facility. While Straka knows her dad is in good hands, she said it has been difficult having to stay away, noting that, given his mental health, they would often connect by singing songs in his native Austrian or by flipping through family photos. “He’s nearing the end of his life, he’s way outlived his expectancy,

so every day is a gift, [and] it’s really heartbreaking not being able to be with him in person,” she said. At the end of June, the province announced care homes would begin allowing seniors in longterm care and assisted-living facilities to have a single, designated persons visit, estimating it would take most facilities a week to 10 days to be ready to accept visitors. Each facility is required to have safety precautions, such as visitor screenings, masks and bookings in advance. Straka’s father lip reads as he also has difficulty hearing, so Straka was able to wear a face shield as opposed to the required mask once in his room. After signing in and being screened, Straka was escorted to her father. “When the care-aide came to get me, I started crying and she was almost crying and she said, ‘Oh, I wish I could hug you,’” Straka said. Once with her dad, Straka had to stay six feet away, but she brought a microphone with her that connected to his hearing aides to help them converse.

“It was a really good visit,” she said. Straka got 90 minutes with her dad and used them all, spending some of that time playing Trivial Pursuit — his favourite board game. “My dad has so much general knowledge and he loves being challenged with questions on history and science and nature and geography,” Straka said. Being apart has been difficult, but Straka managed to stay connected with her dad during the lockdown, having slipped him an iPad just hours before Berwick was closed to visitors. It would often take three or four attempts to connect, but they managed to make it work and, when the internet connection was spotty, Straka was able to get a home Wi-Fi solution installed. She even managed to send her father a bottle of wine so they could share a glass together on nights they had video chats. Berwick has two spots per day available for visitor bookings and Straka hopes to be able to now visit her father once a week.

STAGGERING COST KEEPS INCREASING

orecasts from the federal government predict close to twomillion Canadians without jobs and a federal deficit of $343.2 billion, with Canada’s debt topping $1.2 trillion by the end of the fiscal year. These bleak economic conditions come as a result of Canada’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Early into the pandemic, Ottawa responded quickly, with numerous assistance programs for individuals and businesses affected by the shutdowns. Many received payments under the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. Others received different forms of help. The payments made a difference for many. Providing little or nothing in the way of assistance might have taken the pressure off the federal government, but such a choice would have pushed vast numbers of Canadians into deeper financial stress. The question now is: What happens next? Under the best-case scenario, if a vaccine or a cure were suddenly developed, it would be possible for the Canadian economy to rebound and for those now receiving the benefits to return to work. But the federal government would still need to address the debt and deficit. Money woes do not simply vanish on their own. If the pandemic continues for another year or two, the effects will be much worse. At this point, there is no value in pointing fingers or in asking whether the federal government should have taken a different approach in its response to the crisis. The more important question is: How do we respond from here? The answer is elusive since nobody knows how long this pandemic will continue or whether a second wave will result in another massive shutdown. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on many in Canada. The costs of coping with this pandemic will be felt for many years to come.

The heartache beats on

here is a message on my work voice-mail from a few years ago, a message I come across now and then when cleaning out the system. For some reason, I can never bring myself to delete that particular message, which may be the saddest call I have ever received. It is a message from a mom in Kamloops. She called to inform me her son had died of an accidental drug overdose. She called because she wanted me to know as we had been using a photo of her son being resuscitated from an earlier overdose to illustrate some stories on the public health emergency that has gripped this province for more than four years. The photo was taken from afar. The identity of the victim was impossible to be known to a reader of this newspaper. But she knew that was her son. She had seen the photo appear in these pages, viewing it as a powerful image warning of the dangers of the drugs that had wrestled her son from her. The voice on the message speaks softly, almost in a whisper, and the cadence is verging on apologetic. I returned her call and we talked for a bit. The story is familiar — too familiar to so many families in Kamloops and across B.C. Her adult son had been fighting his addiction and, despite small victories here and there, he could never fully win the battle. She found her son on the floor in the bathroom of her house.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Later, she called me and left that message I cannot delete. Last week, the latest opioid overdose statistics were released and, for the second straight month, B.C. set a tragic record for most overdose deaths in a month. The 175 deaths in June surpassed the 171 deaths in May. Through the first half of 2020, B.C. and Kamloops are on pace to record more overdose deaths in a year than ever before. More than others, I have noticed two specific responses to this ongoing crisis: frustration and desensitization. When overdose deaths suddenly spiked in 2016 due to the influx of a cheap and deadly drug — fentanyl — that allowed dealers to increase their profit margin, the numbers were staggering and dominated the news cycle. More than four years later, with there being no end in sight to the deaths, the numbers have, for some, become numbing. The statistics that initially shocked become standard to some, much like gangland slayings and

terrorist attacks lose their shock value as they continue to occur. But not for the mom who called me, nor for the family and friends of the 6,000 or so people who have died since the public health emergency was declared in April 2016. What can be done? It’s a question that has been asked since well before the crisis hit B.C. For every accidental overdose going back decades, family and friends asked: What can be done? Treatment for addictions is paramount. Despite the rollout every few years of more beds for those needing treatment, and in spite of announcements like that of July 10 — when the provincial government said it will be providing $16 million for new addiction treatment and recovery beds — more are needed because there never seem to be enough. Punishing the dealers is important. No, not the street-level sellers; they are often dealing with their own addictions. We need to deal seriously with the kingpins who peddle in death. A good first step would be to amend the Criminal Code and separate fentanyl from other Schedule 1 controlled drugs and substances, thereby giving judges tangible reasons to consider more severe sentences. Finally, the federal government should do more than pay lip service to the increasing call from experts across the country to decriminalize drugs. It would create a safe supply, reduce stigma, save lives and money and prevent so much heartache. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR RESPECT MUST BE A TWO-WAY STREET Editor: Re: Todd Sullivan’s column of July 15 regarding the pledge to choose words carefully when discussing addiction (‘Take the pledge with me’): It is true that words and labels can be stigmatizing. However, this is not the main issue with drug users and does not address the behaviours that accompany drug use. Kamloops This Week has published stories about verbal threats and other objectionable acts witnessed by business owners on West Victoria Street. We have needles left on our streets and parks, graffiti on our buildings, theft and, of course, vandalism. In fact, Kamloops City Hall, which donated the land for the two new supportive housing facilities on West Victoria Street, was recently targeted and had its windows smashed. Until drug users amend their behaviours and avail themselves of the services offered, attitudes towards them will continue to be negative. The pledge is only a cosmetic approach to a much more serious problem. Roger Parker Kamloops

DOWNSIDE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES Editor: Re: (‘City of Kamloops wants to lead charge into electric transportation,’ July 2): The City of Kamloops wants to “lead the way” in adoption of electric vehicles. To put the kindest possible interpretation on this decision, it seems the proponents of electric vehicles are blissfully unaware of the environmental impact of the vehicles they want everyone to drive. This is probably because they don’t actually see the environmental impact of mining the components that go into an EV battery. And the reason they don’t see it is because it happens far away, to mostly poor people who are unknown to us here in Canada. Lithium: Our main source of lithium is in South America. There are sources in China and Australia as well, but China is building its own fleet of battery electric vehicles and Australia is working on megabatteries, so our source is unlikely to change. Lithium extraction requires a lot of water to bring the element up to the surface in a salty brine — about 500,000 gallons of water per ton of lithium. In some

regions in Chile, 65 per cent of water is diverted from local food production to be used in lithium production. After the lithium is extracted, the brine requires 12 to 18 months to evaporate. Any water returned to the farmers could be tainted with chemicals. For perspective: a Samsung Galaxy A50 phone has about 0.9 grams of lithium in its battery. A Tesla Model S car contains 12 kilograms of lithium. Cobalt: Half of the world’s cobalt is produced in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition to adults, there are between 35,000 and 40,000 children working in mines in southern DRC, many of them extracting cobalt and being paid less than $2 a day. In addition to child and slave labour, there are problems with toxic waste leakage and radioactivity in cobalt mines. Nickel and graphite: Graphite mines in China fill the air with sparkly particles, which ultimately contaminate food and water supplies, not to mention the problems associated with breathing the stuff. Areas surrounding nickel mines report

increased rates of deformities and respiratory problems linked to pollution from mining and smelting. How are the batteries going to be recycled in about 10 years? Lithium batteries can’t just be repurposed. They have to be taken apart, the lithium extracted and then remanufactured. There are additives in the electrolyte liquid that improve the battery’s function, but the cocktail is a proprietary secret, which makes extracting the minerals difficult and more expensive. Moreover, the electrolyte mixture has been known to explode at times, which makes handling it potentially very dangerous. So, let’s say Kamloops council is unaware of the impact of water loss to South American farmers, child labour and toxic waste leakage in the Congo, pollution in China and the impending recycling problem right here in Kamloops. Now that council members do know, will they change their minds? Monna Manhas Kamloops

BRING LONG-TERM CARE BEDS DOWNTOWN Editor: Health Minister Adrian Dix has announced that Kamloops will get 100 longterm care beds. I am hoping that in consultation with Interior Health, he has some, if not all, of these beds built downtown.

I raised this issue during the downtown planning sessions and at other community budget meetings. There are no long-term care beds in the downtown core of Kamloops. There is one assisted-living facility. There are a number of

over-55 independent-living residences, but when needing more support, seniors have to move from the downtown area. At the downtown planning sessions, the use of the provincial land at the southwest corner of Columbia Street and

City of Kamloops reviewing its booze policy From A1

Essentially, it will mean the TNRD’s top politicians (currently Gillis and vice-chair Bill Kershaw) will be able to invite people like local MLAs and their spouses to a TNRD event, with costs paid for with regional district dollars. Directors’ partners are excluded. Meanwhile, the second proposed amendment included restricting alcohol to beer and wine for all events, including the UBCM dinner, with approval of such events at the

discretion of the board chair or vice-chair, not the CAO, as is currently included in the policy. A report to the board stated: “The approval of boardsanctioned events is not the purview of the CAO’s responsibilities and should be entirely within the jurisdiction of the chair and the vice-chair.” The proposal sparked lengthy debate by the board around how many drinks and what types of alcohol should be funded by taxpayers — a heated exchange that appar-

ently transcended the meeting and was included in previous email exchanges behind the scenes. “Has anybody asked their taxpayers if they’d like to pay for our booze?” Watson asked the board. “I know I did. I did a casual survey to ask the taxpayers if they thought that we should be paying for our drinks at dinners with their money and I got a resounding, ‘No.’ I was told by specific taxpayers that if they’d like to buy me a drink, they will. “But they don’t think it should be done with our taxes. I can’t believe we’re considering this, at this time, that, ‘Oh, we’re all having a good time, let’s just keep pouring.’” Area P (Rivers and the Peaks) director Mel Rothenburger made a substitute motion, calling for alcohol at TNRDhosted events to be offered by cash bar only. He told KTW he put forward the motion because he opposes the idea of taxpayers footing the bill for drinks consumed by directors. “I think it’s just

not the right practise to be supporting,” Rothenburger said. “I think it would be much better for directors to pay for their own drinks, if you choose to drink at a TNRD event.” Rothenburger’s motion failed, but the decision split the board, prompting Rothenburger to ask for a poll of the votes — in which each of the 26 directors would be required to state out loud how they voted. One by one, directors in favour of the motion began requesting their vote be documented in the meeting minutes, a seeming display of solidarity that began with Kamloops Coun. Mike O’Reilly. “In favour,” O’Reilly said. “I’d like my vote recorded, please.” “Pardon?” TNRD chair Gillis asked. “I said I’d like my vote recorded, please,” O’Reilly repeated. Other directors followed suit. Rothenburger’s motion to have cash bars only failed by a vote of 15-11, with three each on Kamloops council in favour and opposed.

Opposed to the cash bar motion were Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dieter Dudy and Bill Sarai (attending as an alternate for Coun. Arjun Singh), along with chair Gillis, vicechair Kershaw, Merritt Mayor Linda Brown, Area J (Copper Desert Country) director Ronaye Elliott, Area N (Nicola Valley South) director Herb Graham, Area M (Nicola Valley North) director David Laird, Area I (Blue Sky Country) director Steven Rice, Area A (Wells Country) director Carol Schaffer, Logan Lake Mayor Robin Smith, Barriere director Ward Stamer, Clinton Mayor Susan Swan and Area B (Thompson Headwaters) director Stephen Quinn. Smith said when she goes out in her personal life, she does not spend $9-plus on alcoholic beverages. However, at events like UBCM, she said it happens “fairly often.” Smith said while taxpayers are picking up the tab, it pales in comparison to the cost of the entire UBCM event,

arguing the benefits outweigh the costs. “It’s not always about the drinking,” Smith said. “It’s about the networking and the socializing and the getting to know people. Sometimes that occurs and sometimes it’s over a drink. I think it’s not always unreasonable.” In favour of Rothenburger’s cash bar motion were Kamloops councillors Dale Bass, O’Reilly and Kahty Sinclair, Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell, Chase director Rod Crowe, Lytton Mayor Jan Polderman, Sun Peaks Mayor Raine, Ashcroft Mayor Barbara Roden, director Rothenburger, Cache Creek Mayor Santo Talarico and director Watson. Eventually, the board approved a two-drink maximum clause, with discretion by the chair and vice-chair. NO SIMILAR KAMLOOPS BOOZE POLICY IN PLACE Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said alcohol is provided at a limited number of city events, such as inauguration at the beginning

of a new term. The other events are Remembrance Day veterans’ events and Japan sister city delegations from Uji. No limits are in place at such events, but Christian said the gatherings generally include wine on the table or sometimes drink tickets. Asked for city policy on alcohol, City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey pointed to policy GGA-20 Alcohol Consumption in Workplace, which notes council must approve if alcohol is being served on city property and the applicable director and chief administrative officer must be aware. Asked about staff and council being allowed to purchase alcohol with taxpayers’ money, Humphrey said no specific policy exists. “It needs to be approved by the directors and is allowed for specific events,” she said. “We are reviewing this policy, or lack of policy, and will be looking for best practice across the municipal/ public sector to develop the policy.”

Comet NEOWISE is currently flying in Kamloops skies as it exits our solar system after a slingshot around the sun. The comet, designated C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE), is an unexpected visitor to our solar system and was discovered on March 27 by the space telescope from which it takes its name. The comet first became visible in July, initially appearing in North American skies during the early-morning hours before moving to the night shift.

NASA has stated NEOWISE was born when the solar system was formed about 4.6-billion years ago. To spot NEOWISE in the sky, look to the northwest about 90 minutes after sunset, around 10:30 p.m. local time. If you know your constellations, look just below the Big Dipper (or Ursa Major). Smartphone apps such as Sky Map, SkyView or Stellarium can also help locate the comet in the sky. While NEOWISE is visible to the naked eye, it will appear somewhat faint, but brighten some as the night sky darkens. Its white tail is composed of dust and

ice, while a blue tail also visible is made up of sun-charged particles, according to NASA. Astronomers are recommending binoculars for best viewing. NEOWISE is the first naked-eye-visible comet to grace northern skies since HaleBopp, which flew for 18 months beginning in 1997. NEOWISE will be closest to Earth — just 103-million kilometres away — on July 22 and July 23, which should offer mostly clear skies locally. If you miss NEOWISE this time around, its next lap around the sun will not occur until the year 8820.

It can be difficult to talk about addiction. For all the work that has been done to try to reduce the stigma around addiction, it remains something of a taboo subject. For both people with a substance-use disorder and those in recovery, outing themselves can be terrifying. But they’re not just statistics, they’re people. They’re mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives. And they have stories to tell — stories of failure, stories of success and stories of inspiration. Amanda Staller has one of those stories. Staller, who called Kamloops home 25 years ago, is the 2020 Courage To Come Back Award recipient in the Addiction category. Hers is a story of pain, abuse and trauma. It is also the story of recovery, hope and friendship. After suffering abuse at the hands of her stepfather in her childhood, Staller was living on the street, addicted to drugs and working as a prostitute by the time she was 19. Though the birth of her first child inspired her to seek recovery, it wasn’t until after a second child was born that she came to Kamloops

and entered a detox centre. And though the sobriety didn’t last at that time, it led to two friendships that did. Helena Paivinen and Dr. Rob Baker, who are now married, both got to know Staller while she was in Kamloops. “Rob was my doctor and Helena was a really close friend of mine, and she was dating Rob,” Staller explained. Paivinen, who nominated Staller for the award, recently opened up about her own path to recovery. “I was a professor of nursing at TRU and I never disclosed my history because I was so ashamed of it,” Paivinen said. “I met Amanda when she took her five-year cake [signifying five years of sobriety], I think, and I couldn’t believe the power of her story, and she was so humble and she just inspired me.” As her physician, Baker had the opportunity to see Staller’s progressions and regressions firsthand. “Amanda was up and down like a yo-yo,” he said. “There were times that she would do really well and there were times that she would bottom out pretty well.” Baker has long been open about his own struggles with addiction. “I think one of the keys to dealing with

addicted people is to try not to be judgmental, no matter how squirrelly they get, and to understand that inside there is a person,” he said. Though the kind of long-term friendship she’s built with Paivinen and Baker may not be the norm in the recovery community, it’s been a vital part of Staller’s journey. “They’re really important to me in my life,” she said.

Staller is now a certified counsellor, with a diploma in addiction. She is also a frequent speaker on the subject of addiction. In recent years, she’s been able to reconnect with her children. And, while it’s been a struggle to get to where she is today, she acknowledged the work that brought her here. “I’m proud to be a recovering addict,” Staller said.

Death of mountain biker investigated The BC Coroners Service is investigating the death of a mountain biker who was riding along a trail west of homes in Batchelor Heights on Sunday. Platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper told KTW Kamloops Fire Rescue was called out at 10:14 a.m. for a report of a 42-year-old male mountain biker down along the Sidewinder trail. Emergency personnel arrived to find a jogger, who had come across the man, performing CPR on the mountain biker. Emergency personnel continued CPR on the man and he was extracted from the area. It’s unclear if the man crashed his bike or had some sort of medical distress as, Cooper said, no one witnessed the incident. Cooper could not confirm if the man was deceased at the scene. BC Emergency Health Services spokesperson Sarah Morris confirmed paramedics transported one person in critical condition from Batchelor Heights to Royal Inland Hospital on Sunday. Morris said BCEHS does not confirm patient deaths.

North Shore day care gets six-month reprieve JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The families of dozens of Kamloops kids can breathe a bit easier after a tenancy extension was granted to Big Adventures Day Care in North Kamloops. The day care, located in Mount Paul United Church at 140 Laburnum St., had been given notice by Interior Community Services, which purchased the building in recent years and plans to expand its meal service into the location currently occupied by the day care. The day care, which has been there for 25 years, was expected to close at the end of this year due to an inability to secure a new location and parents of children who attend the facility — which cares for 40 kids — were left scrambling to find a new day care in a city with lengthy wait lists. After KTW reported

on the issue, the day care and non-profit agency met, with Interior Community Services granting an extension. The day care will not be required to vacate until June 30, 2021, an additional six months from when it was first expected to leave. “We’re really happy to have that extra time because it will be easier on our parents, it will be easier on us,” Big Adventures Daycare owner Dale Schiavon said. Interior Community Services CEO Kelly Kelland said the organization looked at its capital plan and decided it could benefit from additional time to fundraise for building improvements, while simultaneously helping out parents. “Really, I just felt like I need to take the high road here and accept her [Schiavon’s] request of keeping it open for another year so folks can at least have an oppor-

tunity, folks being those who attend the day care, to go ahead and look for another space,” Kelland

said. “Or, my offer still stands to help them relocate.” As for hope in secur-

ing a new location with the extra time granted, Schiavon reiterated to KTW that she has looked

home of The Branch shelter, and another is downtown in Memorial Arena in the 700-block of Victoria Street. Of the two, only the location at 185 Royal Avenue has thus far been needed. “We’re seeing moderate usage at all three currently operating shelters,” said Ty Helgason, the City of Kamloops’ acting social and community development supervisor. That includes the shelters at the Mustard Seed Kamloops and Emerald Centre, downtown on West Victoria Street. Due to pandemicrelated physicaldistancing guidelines, 15 beds were lost at Emerald Centre and an additional 10 beds were removed at the Mustard Seed. To make up for those lost beds, space for 25 people was made available at the former Branch location. An additional 50 beds are available at Memorial Arena, which

has been reserved by the city to use as a shelter until Oct. 31. In addition to the shelters, there are 20 hotel rooms that have been secured for anyone awaiting COVID-19 test results. On top of these measures, the city anticipated an impact on homeless youth. “We were prepared with four isolation suites for youth with COVID,” Helgason said, noting those facilities have not yet been necessary. In addition to those measures, the city has also relaxed its temporary outdoor shelter bylaw, allowing people to keep their camp in place if they keep it tidy and do not receive complaints. against them. The city has also extended the hours of the mini-storage facility created for the homeless at 48 West Victoria St. and opened all public washroom facilities that have access to hot water.

Say hi to the new parks ambassadors Look for Discover Parks Ambassadors in provincial parks this summer In the Kamloops area, ambassadors will rotate between Lac Le Jeune, Monck and Paul Lake provincial parks. The ambassadors consist of youth under the age of 30 and volunteers who will be out in the field, engaging visitors with activities, education and more. The pilot program is a new partnership between the BC Parks Foundation and BC Parks, with the goal of providing jobs, training and educational opportunities to B.C. youth, while enhancing the experience of park visitors.

LOCAL BUSINESSES RESPOND TO TREND OF RUDE CUSTOMERS AND STAFF

As businesses navigate Phase 3 of B.C.’s restart plan, a number of store owners have encountered a troubling trend of rude customers and mistreatment of staff in response to COVID-19 safety protocols. “It’s really unfortunate because a lot of the business community has invested in protocols and barriers to make sure their customers are safe,” said Acacia Pangilinan, executive director of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce. Pangilinan said as more businesses resume operations and welcome customers back, the number of owners sounding the alarm has grown. “We’re seeing both sides. Some are being fantastic and others, well, some store owners are just telling them not to come, to not be a customer anymore,” Pangilinan said. She believes the behaviour

FROM A16 than allowed, but the conflict came after the group repeatedly pushed its tables together. After he confronted the group for a third time over the matter, Mitton said one patron smashed a plate of food on the floor and pushed him over a table. Mitton said he had never experienced anything like it in his nearly 30-year restaurant career and reported the incident to the Kamloops RCMP. TasteFull Excursions owner Maatje Stamp-Vincent said

she has had many customers who are thankful for the safety protocols the tour company — and its stops — have put in place, but also others who she said have “behaved like children.” “I’ve had to grit my teeth, but I’m kind of done with that,” she said, frustrated with people who don’t follow the rules. Pangilinan said more should be done to communicate the need for COVID-19 safety protocols. To that end, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce

released a video last week sharing tips on how to safely support local businesses while they continue to recover. “I think we need to see leadership across all sectors — community leaders, not just business leaders, talking about the importance of the safety protocols,” Pangilinan said. “And I think consumers do need to have their eyes opened a little bit. These protocols are not put into place to make things difficult. They’re put in place to keep people safe.”

Scottie Creek (Elephant Hill) Proposed Access Management Plan The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD) in collaboration with local Secwepemc Indigenous communities is proposing an Access Management Plan for the area in the vicinity of Scottie Creek. The purpose of this Access Management Plan, funded through the Forest Carbon Initiative, is to: • • • •

increase carbon sequestration through tree planting, reduce road density on the landscape through road rehabilitation, support the restoration of hydrological and riparian functions after wildfires, and protect important moose and mule deer habitats.

Machine works are planned for the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021. Tree planting is planned to start in the spring of 2021. Any portion of a road that is rehabilitated will be planted. The plan is available for review and comment until July 31, 2020. A map of the Scottie Creek road rehabilitation plan can be viewed by contacting Francis Iredale at 250 312-6633, by email at Francis.Iredale@gov.bc.ca, or by mail to the address below.

Another record-high monthly overdose death tally in B.C. THERE WERE 175 DEATHS REGISTERED IN JUNE, BRINGING THE YEARLY TOTAL OF ILLICIT DRUG DEATHS TO 728 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The overdose death epidemic in B.C. continues to worsen with yet another record high monthly number of deaths. The BC Coroners Service has released data that show there were 175 drug overdose deaths in the province in June, the most ever recorded in a single month and four more than the previous high of 171 deaths registered in May. B.C. has now

recorded four consecutive months with more than 100 illicit drug toxicity deaths. Through the first half of 2020, there have been 728 illicit drug deaths in B.C. and the number of deaths in each health authority is at or near the highest monthly totals ever recorded. In June of 2019, there were 76 such deaths recorded. B.C. is on pace to record more than 1,400 overdose deaths this year, which would be

a significant spike following a downward trend in 2019, when there were 981 such deaths. There were 1,546 deaths in 2018, 1,495 deaths in 2017 and 991 deaths in 2016, when a public health emergency was declared. In Kamloops, there have been 25 overdose deaths through the first six months of the year. In all of last year, Kamloops recorded 26 such deaths. If the monthly rates continue, the city will

be on pace to exceed the 46 deaths it recorded in 2018, the highest annual amount ever registered. “We know the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people who use drugs, as it has all British Columbians,” said Lisa Lapointe, chief coroner at the BC Coroners Service. “Access to key harmreduction services has been a challenge and our social networks are smaller. For those using substances — opioids or otherwise — please

make sure you use only in the presence of someone who will call for immediate help if you need it, use at an overdose-prevention or supervised-consumption site and have your drugs checked before using, if you can. The drug supply in our province is highly toxic and the risk of using alone is too high. Buddying up could save your life.” Lapointe said the province is monitoring for the presence of hydromorphone in post-mortem toxicity results and have seen no evidence of a link between increased prescriptions and the increase in deaths. While cocaine and methamphetamine/ amphetamine have been detected in many drug deaths investigated, fentanyl remains the most significant factor in the increasing number of overdose deaths. Post-mortem toxicology testing data published in the most recent report suggests an increase in the number of cases with extreme fentanyl concentrations (exceeding 50 micrograms per litre) in April, May and June compared with previous months. Dr. Perry Kendall, co-interim executive director at the BC Centre on Substance Use, is adding to the call for decriminalization of drugs. “The number of lives lost over more than four years of a public health emergency is heartbreaking. That each one of these deaths was entirely preventable makes this emergency all the more tragic,” Kendall said, noting decriminalization needs to be aug-

mented with pharmaceutical alternatives to the toxic drug supply. “Creating a permanent, accessible safe supply and decriminalizing people who use drugs are both urgently needed to stop overdoses and should have happened long ago,” said Guy Felicella, peer clinical advisor with the Overdose Emergency Response Centre and BC Centre on Substance Use. “I’m tired of waiting for what’s necessary when the calls for these changes have been made over and over again. And I’m tired of seeing people die while waiting for access to a safer supply or access to detox or to get into recovery. The waiting is killing people.” Dr. Shannon McDonald, acting chief medical officer of the First Nations Health Authority, noted the impact on First Nations people in B.C. from the crisis is higher than the rest of the province’s population. “Indigenous people continue to be disproportionately impacted by this worsening crisis,” McDonald said. “Real change is needed and we could begin with more of what works, namely harm reduction and a safe drug supply.” FROM THE REPORT: • The number of illicit drug toxicity deaths in June 2020 equates to about 5.8 deaths per day. The number of illicit drug toxicity deaths in 2020 equates to four deaths per day for the year. • In 2020, 68 per cent of those dying were ages 19 to 49. In 2019 and 2018, 67 per cent were in this age range. Males account-

ed for 80 per cent of deaths in 2020 to date, slightly higher than in 2019 (76 per cent) and consistent with 2018 (80 per cent). • Communities experiencing the highest number of illicit drug toxicity deaths in 2020 are Vancouver (178) Surrey (92), Victoria (67), Kelowna (26) and Kamloops (25). • In 2020, 85 per cent of illicit drug toxicity deaths occurred inside (57 per cent in private residences and 28 per cent in other residences, including social and supportive housing, SROs, shelters and hotels and other indoor locations), while 14 per cent occurred outside in vehicles, sidewalks, streets, parks, etc. • Preliminary data suggests the proportion of illicit drug toxicity deaths for which illicit fentanyl was detected (alone or in combination with other drugs) was approximately 72 per cent in 2020 and 85 per cent in 2019. 2020 data will change as further toxicology results are received. • Carfentanil was detected in 133 suspected illicit drug toxicity deaths in 2019 and 17 deaths in 2020. There were 11 deaths with carfentanil detected in June 2020. This is subject to change as further toxicology results are received. • A review of completed cases from 2016 to 2019 indicates the top four detected drugs relevant to illicit drug toxicity deaths were fentanyl (83 per cent), cocaine (50 per cent), methamphetamine/ amphetamine (34 per cent) and heroin (15 per cent).

Mom issues warning about stalker in truck MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops mother is warning women to be vigilant after her 19-year-old daughter was allegedly followed home by a person in a vehicle. Michelle Onyango said her daughter, Mya, was stopped in her vehicle at an intersection on Pacific Way at about 3 a.m. on July 11, en route home from a friend’s house,

when the driver of a dark grey pickup truck made a left-hand turn in front of Mya’s vehicle and completed a u-turn to pull up behind her. From the intersection, Onyango said her daughter noticed the pickup truck driver was making the same turns she was and speeding up when she did. When Mya arrived home at an apartment complex in Sahali, the pickup parked beside her, Onyango said. “She just got out and ran into our

complex,” Onyango said, adding the driver turned off the truck, but didn’t leave it, before driving away. She said her daughter described the driver as a man in his 30s, wearing a ball cap, but she didn’t get the licence plate or make of the truck. A couple of days later, Mya came across social media posts from other females who have had similar experiences involving a similar vehicle, which compelled Onyango to post a warning on Facebook. “Although what he did was

supremely creepy, it’s not illegal, though the police could talk to him,”Onyango told KTW. “I don’t know what his intentions are, but they’re creepy nonetheless. I’ve never followed somebody to their home.” Her post yielded comments of similar incidents, including one from a woman who said she and some friends had been followed by a grey pickup on July 13. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Martin Van Laer said police received a report on July 13 regarding a man driving

a grey pickup truck believed to have followed some people from a pub on Rogers Way to a restaurant in Sahali. Van Laer said police spoke to all parties involved, including the suspect, and determined no criminal activity took place. Van Laer said police were unable to determine if the pursuit had occurred accidentally or on purpose. He said the detachment hadn’t received other similar reports, but advised those with concerns to call police at 250-828-3000.

TRU professor says he has been suspended for a year CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University professor who has been at the centre of what he calls a battle over academic freedom says he has been suspended for a year due to a comment he posted on Facebook. Derek Pyne said the university’s human resources department told him of his suspension on July 16, about a month after he posted a comment on his own Facebook pertaining to a statement on academic freedom by the faculty association of Brock University in Ontario. On June 10, Pyne’s post on Facebook compared Brock University’s union’s position on academic freedom with that of the TRU Faculty Association: “Some good news for a change. Unlike Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association, it seems that some university unions are not opposed to academic freedom. One can debate some of the details of the following statement but the bottom line is that it comes out in support of academic freedom, even when it goes against the university, and the union’s, positions.” In a second post, Pyne tagged the Federation of PostSecondary Educators and a number of TRUFA members, two of whom Pyne said complained to the university, claiming being tagged in his post was harassment. After tagging the group, Pyne added, “Of course, they will end up running to Larry Phillips to defend them as they

Derek Pyne teaches in TRU’s School of Business and Economics.

have done in the past.” Phillips is the human resources director of TRU. Pyne told KTW he had a video-conference meeting with Phillips, who read to Pyne a fourpage letter from TRU president Brett Fairbairn, which explained that Pyne was being suspended for a year, with no pay and no benefits. Pyne said he has also been locked out of accessing his university email account, which contains information he requires. Pyne said he was told two complainants told the university about being tagged in the Facebook post. Pyne said he was told one complainant claimed to have lost sleep over the post and the other needed time off work to recover from the impact of the post. Pyne argued he simply tagged the people and did not make any comments to or about them. Pyne was first suspended by the university in 2018. He told KTW he was banned from the campus in May of that year and suspended in July for a few weeks due to his research into faculty at TRU and elsewhere paying to have papers published in dubious scholarly journals.

In November 2018, TRU argued Pyne’s suspension was not related to his research. “The discipline imposed is related to matters which I am unable to comment on due to both employment and privacy law,” TRU’s then-interim president Christine Bovis-Cnossen said. However, Pyne said he was indeed suspended because of his research into so-called predatory journals. The research formed a paper, The Rewards of Predatory Publications at a Small Business School, which was published by University of Toronto Press Journal of Scholarly Publishing. Pyne said he was suspended due to the research he included in his feedback on proposed promotions of other TRU instructors, with his feedback including information he found that connected those instructors to having paid for papers to be published in journals. Pyne resumed teaching in January of this year. In a more recent Facebook post, published on July 12, Pyne stated: “As many know, Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association (TRUFA) has consistently defended Thompson Rivers University (TRU) in the actions they have taken against me. When TRU’s HR director says jump, the stewards ask how high when in mid air. It seems that TRU is now returning the favour.” Pyne said he was told by university officials he was not permitted to criticize union officials who have supported

TRU in its ongoing issue with him — which he claims centres on academic freedom, a claim the university has rejected. KTW asked university brass to confirm Pyne’s claim that he has been suspended and, if so, the reasons behind the suspension. Darshan Lindsay, TRU’s director of executive and government relations, replied with a statement, but said the university could not comment on specific personnel matters. “Thompson Rivers University fully supports the exercise of academic freedom. Academic freedom, including the ability to conduct independent research, freely communicate knowledge and the results of research and scholarship, and respectfully debate differences, is core to our university culture,” she said. “Universities provide significant employment protection for faculty members which is intrinsically tied to them being able to exercise academic freedom. “At TRU, this protection is included in our collective agreements with faculty, and includes the freedom to criticize the university. “As such, in situations where faculty members have faced discipline, it is not about their academic freedom but rather other issues that have arisen in the workplace. “While we cannot provide specific information on personnel matters due to employment and privacy laws, we want to be clear that matters involving Dr. Pyne are not about the exercise of academic

LRB hearings give insight into dispute between TRU, Pyne CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

A controversy at Thompson Rivers University in the past few years has involved professor Derek Pyne, his research into so-called predatory journals and instructors at TRU who have used them to have research papers published, along with his suspension and banishment from campus for much of 2018. While Pyne has argued discipline meted out stemmed from his vocal opposition to the so-called predatory journals — dubious scholarly journals that charge money to have papers published, with no peer review — the university has publicly stated the suspension and banishment from campus was unrelated to Pyne’s research and pertained to matters it is unable to comment on due to employment and privacy law. However, a pair of B.C. Labour Relations Board decisions involving Pyne, the university and the Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association reveal why the university said the instructor was disciplined. The LRB decisions of July 16, 2019 and Sept. 26, 2019, state that the university took action against Pyne due to what university brass deemed his aggressive behaviour, including allegations he put his hands around a colleague’s neck and, later, mocked the same colleague, who was feeling suicidal. The two LRB cases involved Pyne as the complainant, arguing his union, the TRU Faculty Association (TRUFA), breached its duty of fair representation “by failing to take action on his behalf when the employer began targeting him as a result of his research and in a manner that violated his academic freedom.” The LRB ruled against Pyne in both decisions — the July 2019 ruling on Pyne’s original complaint and his September 2019 appeal of the July hearing — finding TRUFA did indeed represent him fairly. In the LRB decisions, it is noted the university demanded Pyne undergo a psychiatric assessment following the alleged hand-around-the-neck incident in 2015. That demand was rescinded when the union intervened on Pyne’s demand and, instead, a verbal warning was issued. In January 2018, the university again raised concerns about what it considered Pyne’s “alarming” behaviour, actions that allegedly included yelling, banging and speaking to himself in a “strange” tone of voice. The university again asked that Pyne undergo a psychiatric assessment, although he produced indepen-

dent legal advice he claimed stated TRU had no right to make such a request. Despite that legal opinion, the union declined to intervene and the assessment was scheduled for June 4, 2018. However, the university banned Pyne from campus in May 2018 due to what school officials deemed “aggressive and inappropriate behaviour at work.” On May 30, 2018, and June 15, 2018, while still barred from campus, Pyne received two more written warnings pertaining to “communication the employer perceived as inappropriate. Meanwhile, according to the LRB decision, the psychiatric assessment indicated Pyne scored high in the area of paranoia, in particular concerning the feelings of persecution leading to suspiciousness and hostility in relations to others. The assessment did not, however, otherwise disclose a mentalhealth diagnosis. The assessment recommended Pyne seek counselling to help manage stressors at work and recommended that the university consider limiting his interactions on campus with members of his department if he did not take part in mental-health treatment. There followed more concerns from the university about Pyne’s behaviour while he was banned from campus, leading to administration ordering a threat assessment to determine if Pyne’s return to campus would pose a risk to faculty, staff or students. The threat assessment recommended Pyne be allowed to return to campus under certain conditions and, on Dec. 6, 2018, he was permitted to again step foot on TRU property after serving a seven-month ban. In dismissing Pyne’s complaint that TRUFA did not properly represent him in his dispute with the university, Jennifer Glougie, associate chair of the LRB, wrote: “Whether or not the employer targeted the complainant’s behaviour for scrutiny as a result of his academic research (and I make no findings in that regard), I accept that, in the union’s view, the complainant opened himself up to discipline in terms of how he behaved towards his colleagues and how he communicated the conclusions he reached about their integrity.” In August of 2018, Pyne filed a complaint with the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT). Thompson Rivers University refused to take part in the association’s investigation. Nevertheless, the CAUT investigation concluded TRU administration’s actions breached academic freedom. CAUT’s committee of investigation found that TRU “appears to suffer a broad institutional weakness when it comes to understanding academic freedom.”

CONSTRUCTION SEASON IS HERE

Summer is traditionally the season for construction, as can be seen on a pair of significant projects on the North Shore. Above, work continues on repairing and repaving the ring road on McArthur Island in North Kamloops. Even before work began. the city closed the road to vehicular traffic to give pedestrians and cyclists more room to move and practise physical distancing amid the pandemic. Below, crews work to install a sanitary sewer line on Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst. The $13.5-million project will continue through the summer and has led to various detours and relocated transit stops.

hile gardening in the front yard of her Brocklehurst home, Deb Alore has noticed an increase in the number of families out for a bike ride since the pandemic began. It got her thinking about the importance of being in a community and of sharing experiences. With the help of a friend handy with a hammer and nails, Alore created the Happyvale Share Hut, a hub for children and adults to access free books, board games and puzzles, along with free locally grown vegetables, herbs and plants. The share hut was erected at the end of Alore’s driveway, along the side of Happyvale Avenue, and has become quite a visual statement for the neighbourhood. She said the craftsmanship of the hut exceeded her best expectations. It now adds a point of interest for her neighbours when out for their daily walks or bike rides. They can stop and choose a book or drop off some of their own items to share with the community. Having recently retired from a 28-year career as a public health administrative assistant with Interior Health, Alore knows well the importance of literacy in both young children and adults. Alore recalls her visits with her now-grown daughter in east Vancouver and how lending libraries are found in neighbourhoods across the city. And now the Happyvale Avenue neighbourbood has its own.

The Happyvale Share Hut also gives Alore an opportunity to hand some of the bounty from her own vegetable garden to her neighbours. She sees the share hut as a way of fostering an exchange and giving spirit within local kids.

“This pandemic thing has brought community spirit to people’s minds,” Alore said. “It’s a little thing that I hope will be a spark and grow.” The Happyvale Share Hut is located at 1736 Happyvale Ave., across from Kobayashi Place.

Deer on trail in Dallas disliked human company MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

An aggressive deer that attacked two hikers last week has the Conservation Officer Service warning the public to stay keep their heads on a swivel and their dogs leashed while on a trail in the Dallas area. Conservation officer Graydon Bruce said

the service received two separate reports in which adult men encountered the doe deer while walking dogs off-leash on a trail near Kokanee Way. In the first incident, the man reportedly sustained bruises and scratches from the deer. The second man was unharmed and struck the deer with a walking stick, which

forced the animal to back off before it ran the man out of the area, Bruce told KTW. He said the second person’s dog was injured, but described all injuries as minor in nature, noting no medical attention was sought. The reports came in between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on July 13, with the service receiving the second report en

route to the initial call, Bruce said. Upon his arrival, Bruce said the deer approached him, but did not attack, nor did it engage with another person walking through the area at the time. He said the the attacks may have been the result of the deer protecting a nearby fawn and feeling threatened by the dogs,

which were a shitzu, which accompanied the first man, and a German shepherd cross breed, which was with the second man. “The deer was highly stressed when I observed it,” Bruce said. The Conservation Officer Service closed the trail until July 19. The COS received a tip from a member of the public who said

she had seen a fawn the morning of the attacks, but after an extensive search of the area by conservation on Sunday, neither animal was located and the trail has since been reopened to the public. Bruce said the hope is the deer has moved on from the area, but the COS is advising anyone using that trail to exercise caution. “Keep dogs under

control and a leash handy, and consider carrying a walking stick,” Bruce said.

Recovering after being bitten by a rattlesnake MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A woman is recovering from a rattlesnake bite to her foot after an encounter near Kamloops Lake. Paramedics were dispatched at about noon on July 14 for a report of an adult woman suffering a snake bite, Emergency Health Services spokesperson Shannon Miller confirmed to KTW. She said an advanced-care paramedic unit met the patient — who was in an incoming vehicle driven by another person — near Aviation Way and Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst, where she was cared for and transported to Royal Inland Hospital in stable condition. The woman was bitten in a wooded area at the entrance to Cooney Bay, which is a makeshift, dirt parking lot. Cooney Bay is about nine kilometres west of Aviation Way. Rattlesnake bites are fairly rare in B.C. as, according to WildSafeBC, typically less than five people per year are bitten. Bites are rarely fatal if treated promptly.

Five reasons to visit Bellingham, Washington LAUREN KRAMER

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

ost British Columbians know Bellingham as a pit stop on the way to Seattle or Portland, a place to refuel after a long border wait, do a quick grocery shop at Trader Joe’s and then zip south on the I-5. But spend some time exploring this charming university town and you’ll find it a place of stunning natural beauty, with a fraction of the crowds that can make B.C.’s natural hotspots feel congested. Bellingham offers tonnes of space to stretch out on a quiet lakeside or ocean beach, spectacular hiking trails on soft forest floors and invigorating bike rides on a network of trails that criss-cross the city and make it easy and fun to get around on two wheels. Here are five reasons to cross the border and spend a summer weekend in Bellingham. You won’t see it from the I-5 but Lake Whatcom, a massive body of pristine lake water that stretches 22 kilometres, is a fabulous place to cool off in summer. Bloedel Donovan park, located just a few minutes’ drive from downtown Bellingham on Electric Avenue, is the easiest place to access the lake, with a sandy beach, a swimming area separated from boat traffic, an expanse of soft grass shaded by trees, as well as restrooms and a boat launch. Grab a picnic lunch from Da Vinci’s Market and a selection of the city’s most famous donuts from Feleen’s — both stores are a couple minutes drive from the lake on Electric Avenue — and plan to spend a decadent day in the sun and water. From its city centre to its neighbourhoods, forests and beaches, Bellingham is a city of passionate

bikers who choose two wheels above four any day the rain holds off. Start your bike ride downtown and take the off-road biking trail to Fairhaven to reach the Interurban Trail. A rails-to-trails route, this sixmile trail takes bikers and pedestrians on a magical, mostly flat path towards Larrabee State Park. The forested trail is upliftingly beautiful and leads bikers above

the picturesque Chuckanut Drive, promising stunning vistas of the San Juan Islands, towering evergreens and secluded beaches like Teddybear Cove. Pick up a map at Fairhaven Bicycles before you go. Most Pacific Northwest booklovers have heard of Powell’s Books, the legendary independent bookstore in Portland. Village Books in Fairhaven is Bellingham’s

version of Powell’s, a store with a smaller footprint but no less of a tantalizing selection of books, food and gifts all housed under one historic roof. It shares its three floors with two restaurants: Evolve Chocolate & Café upstairs and the Colophon Café downstairs, both of them much-loved local eateries. On its main floor it shares space with Paper Dreams, a store filled with fun knickknacks for the home

and tons of exquisite paper in the form of giftwrap, notebooks, calendars, gift cards and beautifully decorated writing paper. In the bookstore a selection of new and gently used books are neatly organized by genre and staff write personal book reviews to recommend their favourite reads. If you’ve been dreaming of a long walk on a beach where you’re more likely to hear the wind in your ears than the sound of other people, you’ll want to drive to Birch Bay. Visiting this small beachside community feels like stepping back into the 1970s, as little has changed here over the years. The stretch of beach remains the principal attraction, and in summer the tide goes out so far you can walk out for miles on the sand, watching gulls and eagles wheeling above. Head to the C Shop for pizza and ice cream after your windswept walk. This longtime familyrun establishment is a favourite hang-out for locals and visitors, and its sweet caramel treats are legendary. With hundreds of vendors selling colourful, fresh produce, handmade soaps, ready-to-go food, proteins and pottery, the Bellingham Farmers’ Market, held on Saturdays, is a cacophony of fabulous sounds, sights and aromas. This is an inspiring place to plan your week’s meals, experience the distinct, friendly vibe of the city and explore the talented work of its many artists, cheesemakers, crafters, chocolatiers and more. Street musicians provide the music, farmers hawk produce fresh from the fields and the sizzle of ready-to-go food promises an irresistible lunch.

If you have a photo of a charity donation, a grand-opening picture or other uplifting images, email them to

with “eye on community” in the subject line.

NOW YOU CAN ALSO RIDE FOR THE KIDS: Due to the pandemic, the Cops for Kids charity will not have its usual 30member team pedalling across the region this September, instead opting to designate a few local riders to complete each leg of the 10 days on behalf of the team. The remainder of the team will continue to pedal 100 kilometres each day in their home communities. Cops for Kids raises money for families who must travel to receive medical care outside their home communities. The new Cops for Kids Virtual Ride for the Life of a Child invites cyclists of all abilities to register to complete various distances from home. To register or to make a donation to one of the riders, go online to copsforkids.org.

The non-profit Open Door Group in in the midst of a fundraising campaign for the expansion project of its Gardengate Horticulture Program facility. The Gardengate program is funded by Interior Health and is a partner of the Kamloops Food Policy Council. The horticulture program helps those with addictions and/or mental-health issues. The program has been operating since 2000 out of space in Brocklehurst that is largely unusable during winter months due to lack of heat. With thousands of people from the community visiting Gardengate each year, the program is now looking to expand its facility. “People come to Gardengate to learn, collaborate, purchase produce and connect with the community,” Gardengate manager Robert Wright said. “Personal wellness and community wellness go hand in hand. Participants leave Gardengate with improved self-esteem, greater selfsufficiency and vocational skills that prepare them to enter, or re-enter, the workforce.” The space expansion will allow more people to participate in the program. With the new addition of a commercial kitchen, the program gives participants the opportunity to cultivate more skills, such as cooking, carpentry, sales, marketing and machine maintenance. The cost of the facility expansion is $500,000 and more than $150,000 has been raised so far. To find out more about the project and how to support it, go online to igg.me/at/ Gardengate, call 250-554-9453 or email Robert. wright@opendoorgroup.org.

DRIVING HOME THE NEED FOR DONATIONS: On June 30, Dan Latin, Brian Wornstaff, Brett Greenman, Dakota Nettles and Greg Lind golfed a total of 369 holes as part of the annual Golfathon for ALS. Playing from 4:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., the quintet also recorded 300 pars, 39 birdies and one eagle. In photo: Dakota Nettles, Ellen Smailes and Brett Greenman. Smailes lost her son, Clayton, to ALS. Proceeds from the Golfathon for ALS provide support services from the ALS Society of BC to ALS patients and their families, friends and caregivers. For more information on the fundraising endeavour, go online to golfathonforals.com.

KAMLOOPS ART PAGE

elcome to the weekly Kamloops Art Page. With the COVID-19 pandemic upending society — socially and economically and dominating news for the foreseeable future — we understand pandemic fatigue can set in for even the most ardent followers of current events. While continuing to cover all pandemic and non-pandemic-related news, KTW has also worked hard at featuring positive stories from the crisis, tales that capture the essence of humanity, be it volunteers sewing thousands of masks for health-care workers or musicians offering up weekly free concerts online. This page is an attempt by KTW to bring some colour into the lives of our readers via

artwork created locally. We hope to, on a weekly basis, use this page to showcase works by various Kamloops artists, with between one and three pieces displayed. Thanks for reading Kamloops This Week and we hope this page can help ease the stress of this uncertain era in which we are living. Email editor@kamloopsthisweek.com if you have any questions or suggestions relating to this page.

STANDING TOGETHER, BY OLIVIA SCHULTE DALLAS ELEMENTARY, GRADE 6 I enjoy creating art because it lets me express my feelings and thoughts in ways that words can’t. My grandparents are who inspired me to make my art, because they own a house in Phoenix and always send us postcards of their adventures. For my painting I used acrylic paint on a canvas.

Dig It: Why diversity matters in archaeology JOANNE HAMMOND

SPECIAL TO KTW

republicofarchaeology.ca

o to any gathering of archaeologists in this province and you will look upon a sea of white faces. Visit archaeological sites and you will overwhelmingly see white people in charge. Deal with the Archaeology Branch in Victoria and you will learn the staff that manages a 15,000-year-old archaeological record that is 99 per cent Indigenous lacks representation from those communities. Archaeology, like many fields, has a diversity problem. But why is it a problem? Don’t archaeologists, and other scientists, apply their knowledge and methods in unbiased ways? Doesn’t the evidence speak for itself? Aren’t training and education sufficient? To begin answering these questions, let’s consider the history of history-making. Much of early archaeology was indisputably racist — antiquarians dedicated to identifying the vast spectrum of non-European peoples, then organizing them into hierarchies from more to less sophisticated, with European (and later North American) white cultures at the top. A common approach to this involved measuring skulls. The idea was to identify features associated with more intelligent, moral, “advanced” peoples and with less intelligent, immoral, “barbaric” peoples. Called phrenology, this nowdebunked race science was practised widely on black and Indigenous people, living and dead. In British Columbia, early archaeology was consumed with the idea of confirming the primitive nature of Indigenous peoples

CITY OF VANCOUVER ARCHIVES PHOTO Labourers and archaeologists excavate deposits and collect skulls for comparison in 1888. Known to Musqueam people as a major ancestral village site, archaeologists referred to the area as the Great Fraser or Marpole Midden, an archaeological term for garbage dump.

using this method, which led to horrific exhumation of burial grounds by the men considered the founders of B.C. archaeology. In 1899, Harlan I. Smith wrote to Franz Boas on how this was done: “By taking skeletons out on our backs we got them out without Indians realizing the bulk & so free from objections. But when the Indian return from fishing it will not be pleasant to be here.” These stolen ancestors remain in museums, the property of “science,” and this history of graverobbing remains a stain on our field. The practise of skull-measuring was carried out on the living, too. Some of the most enduring images we have of renowned Tk’emlups Chief Louis Clexlixqen, for example, came from just such efforts — race-science masquerading as portraiture. Throughout the Americas, much of 19th and early 20th cen-

tury archaeology concerned itself with explaining how some of the most astounding architectural achievements of pre-colonial societies could not have been created by ancestors of living Indigenous people because they they were “too primitive” to have built mounds, engineered canals or created monumental art. Non-Indigenous archaeologists interpreting ancient Indigenous culture have necessarily done so through the lens of Eurocentric biases. The result has often been to reduce millennia of sustainable technologies to insignificant “stone age” cultures. Why does it matter now? Because much of the fundamental knowledge that North Americans and Europeans have on Indigenous and other cultures still rests on the racist stereotypes that archaeology has generated. Our research has helped ratio-

nalize dispossessing Indigenous peoples of their land, marginalizing Chinese people as worthy of only labour and segregating black people as less-than-human. For example, the very basis of Canadian “Indian policy” rests on stereotypes that archaeology and anthropology helped create. The Indian residential school system was an answer to the belief that Indigenous cultures and peoples were inferior and in need of fixing. The Indian reserve system was used to remove people from lands on the grounds they were unused wilderness, a lie backed up by archaeologists’ refusal to consider any evidence that didn’t line up with European expectations. So, back to the question of diversity: Would having more archaeologists of colour change how archaeology is done? Of course. Archaeology is the people who do it, after all.

The questions that researchers ask determine the products of science. As the history of archaeology shows, scientists motivated by demonstrating the supremacy of white people produce racist results. Scientists of colour, with real connections to communities they study, will necessarily ask— and answer — these questions differently, creating a field that’s more accountable to all communities. It’s beyond time to open the gates and hear from a diversity of voices on the past. Joanne Hammond is a Kamloopsbased archaeologist. Interested in more? Go online to republicofarchaeology.ca.

FAITH

The half was not told me

he title of this article is taken from First Kings 10:7, where we have the account of the Queen of Sheba coming to see Solomon, the third king of Israel. We read that the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord. She then came to see Solomon to prove or test him with hard questions. It is written that she came with a very great train of camels that carried spices and much gold and precious stones. In First Kings, chapter three, it says the Lord appeared to Solomon soon after he became king. The Lord asked Solomon what he desired to have and Solomon requested to have wisdom to carry out the responsibilities of being king. The Lord gave Solomon tremendous wisdom and this is part of what the Queen of Sheba wanted to see firsthand. She had obviously heard of the fame of Solomon from people who had seen and heard of Solomon’s greatness. It is commendable that the Queen of Sheba made the journey, which could have been about 2,400 kilometres. There are a multitude of people who have heard of the Lord Jesus, his miraculous works and his death on the cross for our sins, but they have never sought for themselves to come to him. It is written that the Queen of Sheba communed with Solomon of all that was in her heart. She was searching for answers that would satisfy her heart. We read that Solomon gave her answers to all her ques-

FAITH

tions and that there was nothing that was hidden from King Solomon. Jeremiah 29:13 promises: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart”. When the Queen of Sheba heard all of Solomon’s wisdom and saw the greatness of his kingdom, the account tells us there was no spirit left in her. She was overwhelmed and had to tell Solomon that it was a true report that she had heard in her own land concerning his acts and wisdom. The Queen of Sheba added that she did not believe it until she came and saw for herself and that she had only heard the half of the whole truth. Solomon’s wisdom and prosperity far exceeded what the Queen of Sheba had initially heard. She gave the things she brought with her to Solomon and Solomon gave anything to her that she desired from him. The Lord Jesus, when those of his day were demanding a sign to prove who He was, responded with a word about Jonah, who had been swallowed by a great fish. Then He said one who is greater than Jonah was there in their midst, speaking

of himself. The Lord also spoke of Solomon being visited by the Queen of the South and that she sought the wisdom of Solomon. He said one who is greater than Solomon was in their midst. They should have been satisfied with the multitude of miracles that He did do. The Lord Jesus did not do miracles on demand to simply satisfy peoples’ desire for the miraculous to be seen. In fact, it is written that the Lord Jesus, when in Nazareth, could not do many miracles because of the peoples’ unbelief. Nazareth was the town the Lord grew up in and there they at one time sought to throw Him down from a cliff. This one who is greater than Solomon was willing to come from Heaven for us to suffer and die for our sins. Whoever seeks him will find He is greater than we ever could have imagined. We have to declare with the Queen of Sheba that the half has not been told me. He is raised from the dead and lives in the power of an endless life as a testimony to the satisfaction of God with the work of the saviour on the cross. “For He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.” — Psalm 72:12.

Beer leagues may be canned CITY ANTICIPATING SEVERE IMPACT ON REVENUE IF COMPETITIVE, CONTACT GAME PLAY STILL BANNED IN THE FALL MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

inda Stride is the recreation, health and wellness supervisor for the City of Kamloops. A good portion of her work in these COVID-19 times revolves around staying on top of what is allowed in sports in B.C. and in the arenas in which they are played. The situation doesn’t look good for adult hockey groups in the fall — and that does not bode well for city coffers. “It’s going to be a challenge for those adult groups where it’s leagues and games,” said Stride, who is on regular calls with the B.C. Parks and Recreation Association, which is in sync with Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry’s office and viaSport, the provincial government’s delivery agency for sport programs. “Currently, that’s not allowed,” Stride said of rec hockey games. “I honestly don’t anticipate that changing for the fall, based on the calls I’m on.” The City of Kamloops arena user guidelines and expectations,

LINDA STRIDE issued on June 28 and devised in accordance with provincial government regulations, make no room for competitive hockey games. Among bullet points: Keep two metres apart while on the ice, no contact, no games, no bench or dressing room use, show up to the rink with gear on and no spitting anywhere in the facility or on the ice. So, unless beer leaguers want to switch from games to a night of skills and drills, it is safe to assume many organizers will begin pulling plugs on ice times. There are between 50 and 55

adult hockey groups that book city ice in the fall and winter. One beer league organizer told KTW his group, which plays weekly, pays the city more than $7,000 per fall/winter season. The eight-team Twin Rivers Hockey League shells out about $30,000 per season, according to organizer Darryle Thompson. “There is nothing we can do about it, but it definitely is going to affect our budget negatively and, as such, that may affect how many rinks we open,” Stride said. “We can only have so many facilities open. We only have so many staff on. The revenues are nowhere near what they normally are and it’s unlikely those revenues will climb [unless government restrictions loosen].” Both the NHL and Olympic rinks inside McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre are open. Once the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association season begins in the fall, Stride expects a third city arena to open. “Whether or not we open more than that may be dictated by the number of user groups [that book ice in the fall/winter],” Stride said. “I don’t really see any major changes [to the province’s guidelines on competition and

contact] coming down the pipe in the fall, to be quite honest, but it’s only July.” Stride said the city has informed user groups that if they decide to cancel their regular ice time for the 2020-2021 campaign, they will have first dibs on the same time for the 2021-2022 season. But group organizers that delay renewing their regular time for this season may lose the slot for this fall and winter. “At some point, yes, if we have somebody who wants that Friday night ice slot and one group is sitting on the fence, then we’ll talk to the one group and, eventually, we’ll have to give them a deadline, but it’s not going to be hard and fast,” she said. Organizers are left in a tough spot. “Whether or not the guys want to play or skip a year, we’ll have to see,” Thompson said. “Running a league, it’s kind of a headache if you start the season and then, all of a sudden, it gets closed again for two months. You’re signing cheques left, right and centre to a bunch of guys.” Stride said the city and other municipalities are aiming to seek permission from the province to

2019 Wings Above Kamloops Houses F U N D R A I S I N G

proceed with some sort of threeon-three or four-on-four competition in the fall. “It would be no-contact, similar to a ringette situation, where it’s really passing and moving, but it still would be competitive,” Stride said. “That might be something some groups would be happy to see, while others are going to say, ‘No, thanks. We’ll wait until we’re in full mode,’ which, to be honest, is going to be quite some time.” Stride reiterated the city is following the province’s guidelines. “We want to see as many people on the ice as we can, and not really for revenue,” she said. “That, for me, is the last thing. It’s for recreation and people’s wellbeing. “Those men, typically, go out and play hockey and, yeah, it’s competitive, but, you know, it’s fun for them. That’s an opportunity for them to get out, de-stress and have some time away from their families.” Some privately run rinks in the province are, “dancing to their own tune and doing things they shouldn’t be doing,” Stride said. “So then, it’s, ‘Well, how come they can do it and we can’t?’ “Right now, it’s a difficult time for everybody.”

Slo-pitch, baseball leagues proceeding with caution MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The diamond has become a testing ground for the return of competitive team sports in Kamloops amid the pandemic. “As far as I know, we were the first sport doing competition as a team [in Kamloops],” said Dylan Smith, president of the Kamloops Co-ed Slo-Pitch League, a 26-team circuit that returned to action on June 29. The 46-team Westsyde Slo-Pitch League got underway on July 6, the sevensquad Kamloops Ladies SloPitch League lifted off on July 10 and the three-team Kamloops Senior Men’s Baseball League began play last week. Prior to May 19, government agency viaSport’s return-to-play guidelines did not allow for competition. “I talked to someone at every level of government every day for three months before we got back on the field,” Smith said, noting the

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE Randy Big Sorrell Horse delivers for the Tomahawks in slo-pitch action last year in Kamloops.

Kamloops old-timers league has also returned to the diamond. “There were a lot of rule changes they wanted, initially, in May, that would have changed the game pretty much to make it not recognizable.” Smith and other local organizers opted to wait for restrictions to loosen. Phase 2 of viaSport’s plan, which began on May 19 and will run until at least Sept. 1, allows for some local game play in noncontact sports.

Each of the local slopitch and baseball leagues pieced together return-toplay proposals that have been approved by the City of Kamloops and the provincial government, all of them allowing for game play that remains almost unchanged from traditional formats. “We made it so we could keep the game of ball intact while making it so we could follow social distancing and sanitizing protocol,” said Oakley Muchow, president of the Westsyde league.

“To a passerby, it probably wouldn’t look that different, but to a ball player, a lot those nuances and interchanges between people are where you’re going to see those differences.” Balls are either sanitized after each inning or not shared at all. Tagging is allowed, but players must separate immediately after the tag. Equipment-sharing restrictions are in place. Fewer players are allowed in dugouts, which must be sanitized regularly. “I closed the dugouts initially,” Smith said. “The dugouts are open now. The other league in town [Westsyde] never closed them. I got a lot of complaints about it. As long as everyone is adhering to social distancing inside the dugout, we saw no risk as long as the city was OK with it.” Krissy Toebosch is president of the ladies league. She said there was talk of cancelling the summer season and playing in the fall, but concern over a second wave of COVID-19 spurred the league to its July start.

“We wanted to get some game play in sooner than later,” Toebosch said, noting the league took cues from Slo-Pitch National guidelines when designing a return-to-play plan. “So far, everything has been working really well. There is a lot more sanitizer than we’re used to, Lysol wipes all over the dugout.” Local slo-pitch leagues are usually in seasonending mode at this time of year. The men’s baseball league, which last year ran from the end of May to late August, is slated to finish play in October. The unusual schedules and social restrictions in place have led to a general decline in team registration, but the leagues appear healthy. “It’s incredible,” said Tyler Carpentier, president of the men’s baseball league, which has banned fans from attending games at Norbrock Stadium. “Even with the extra measures we’ve put in place and all of the little changes, all the guys are super stoked to be back on the field.

“All the players have been instructed to keep their distance.” In the baseball league, umpires do not stand behind the catcher. Instead, they call balls and strikes from behind the pitcher. Players in each of the leagues have been provided with the safety plans put together by organizers. Whether they are followed stringently is impossible to properly police. “It really comes down to human nature,” Muchow said. “It’s the shopping cart theory. When people are watching you, everybody is going to put the cart away, but when nobody is looking, are you going put that shopping cart away? It really proves that person’s integrity.” Added Smith: “Our plan is about 13 pages long. It was sent to coaches and at the end there is sign-off sheet. All the players have to sign. We had to put some of the risk onto the players. We’re not forcing you to be out there. We can’t guarantee you’re not going to get sick because of it.”

SWIM COACH DALKE CONCERNED ABOUT WATER SPACE IN KAMLOOPS; CITY UPDATES PROJECTS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Head coach Brad Dalke and the TRU WolfPack swimming program received something that resembles good news, welcomed respite from the doom and gloom blanketing U Sports and athletics in general in these COVID-19 times. Plans to go ahead with 2020-2021 Canada West golf and swimming championships will proceed, while the cross-country running championships have been cancelled, the conference announced last week. TRU has neither golf nor cross-country squads, the latter nixed in March, the former scuttled in 2014. The swimming season going ahead remains contingent on the state of the virus and government and health regulations across Western Canada. Dalke is keeping his fingers crossed, but seems more concerned about a dearth of pool space in the Tournament Capital. “Water space in this city is a huge issue,” said Dalke, head coach of the WolfPack and Kamloops Classic Swimming club. “I don’t like to sound negative on that, but that is my biggest concern right now, with where city council is going with budgeting and finances and all of that kind of stuff.” The Canada Games Aquatic Centre in the Tournament Capital Centre is closed amid a $13.5-million maintenance project, with an original targeted completion date of Jan. 2. Extended hours at the Brock Outdoor Pool and Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre were to help accommodate displaced swimmers, but they were among city facilities closed

ANDREW SNUCINS/TRU WOLFPACK TRU WolfPack swimmer Ryley McRae of Kamloops in action in 2018 at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.

when the pandemic hit. The pool in Brocklehurst re-opened on June 29. Renovations at Westsyde pool — upgrades to the building’s HVAC, mechanical, and dehumidification systems, along with roof repairs and the instalment of acoustic panels to reduce sound issues — are complete, but the building remains closed. “We don’t have any more updates on when we plan to re-open that facility,” said Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks and civic facilities manager. “Right now, we’re just focusing on Brock Pool, which is going really well. And we’re looking forward to opening Riverside Park beach once we get the flood barriers removed. “All I can say is we’re taking a phased-in approach on re-opening all of our recreation facilities. We’re getting pressure from all over and we’re taking a really careful approach and I think we’ve been very successful so far.” The Westsyde project had a targeted completion date of May 11, but that was issued prior to beginning of the virus crisis. “Is there going to be enough water space to accommodate us come September?” Dalke asked. “Right now, they’re talking about only having one facility open, either Brock Pool or Westsyde Pool. I need both facilities open to handle club and varsity. The

unfortunate thing is the Y, their rates are astronomical and it’s not even an option to go there and swim.” Dalke has heard word the Canada Games Aquatic Centre renovations may be completed as early as mid-November, about six weeks ahead of schedule. “There still could be issues we haven’t encountered, but based on the information we have now, it’s definitely going to be complete on time,” Putnam said, crediting the city’s capital projects manager Darren Crundwell and an integrated delivery strategy for the trajectory of the work. “Is it possible it could be earlier? Yeah, it’s possible. I can’t comment on any interactions between user groups and the recreation department.” Dalke said the Classics and WolfPack often occupy between 12 and 14 of the Canada Games Aquatic Centre’s 16 lanes during their regular seasons, both of which begin in September. Eight lanes at Brock Pool will not do the trick while both Westsyde Pool and the Canada Games pool remain closed, Dalke said. “The population of Kamloops is arguably 90,000 people,” Dalke said, noting Westsyde’s pool has six lanes. “Well, having one six-lane pool open is completely inadequate for a community this size.” Dalke said the Classics have

a membership of about 160, including the masters program, and there are about a dozen WolfPack swimmers on the roster. “Plus, we have lessons programs,” Dalke said. “At any point in time, we’re close to running 300 bodies through the water.” Dalke noted an uptick in summer swimming enrolment numbers. There are about 70 swimmers participating in the Brock Pool program, which is broken down into three sessions to adhere to pandemicrelated distancing guidelines. “Normally, we’re excited to have 20 kids swimming,” Dalke said. “Everybody is looking for something to do in a safe fashion. If we can resume anything close to normal in September and October, in the new year we’re going to be rocking. We really want to see those [Brock and Westsyde] are both open in that September time period.” TURF PROJECT DELAYED The $600,000 artificial turf replacement project at Hillside Stadium, originally slated to be completed by July 23, has been delayed by about 10 days. Putnam said unanticipated issues with the elasticity of the black membrane underneath the turf is the hang up. “The crew had to leave for a little while,” Putnam said.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Wednesday in KTW!

is pleased to announce an exclusive partnership with Memorial Society of BC to serve the Kamloops area.

Q. Double Disposition? A. Laws in BC say that a deceased body must be â&#x20AC;&#x153;disposed ofâ&#x20AC;? (what a horrendous word!) and it can happen in one of two ways: burial or cremation. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buried, the law considers â&#x20AC;&#x153;disposalâ&#x20AC;? complete. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disposed of by cremation, it has to be disposed of again once it becomes ashes. That second disposal can be complicated!

Since 1956, the Memorial Society of BC has been an independent and objective source of end of life information. Among other benefits, Memorial Society membership gives access to significantly reduced funeral costs in BC.

A Vanished Friend

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face, He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, Tired of playing a foolish game, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away Â Â? Â? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend! by Anders Lim

At Schoening we believe a life should be remembered. By having a service at our home, you can do whatever you want, play tribute videos or favourite music or decorate the celebration centre in a manner that will give closure to family and friends.

life on 25, at

It is with great shock that we tell you of the sudden passing of Lisa Dawn Purdey of Kamloops, BC and Istanbul, Turkey.

Each loss is very diďŹ&#x20AC;erent, 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 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Only borrowed for a time. Now, Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called you home, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad and I shed tears. Yet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Predeceased by his wife Brenda in 2019. Gordon is survived by his brothers Gerry and Neil, sisters Sharon, Elva, and Bonny and one half-brother Ken.

Lisa passed away suddenly in her adopted home of Istanbul on June 26, 2020, due to medical complications. She was only 34 years old and enjoying the life God had called her to. Lisa grew up in Kamloops, went to Juniper Ridge Elementary and graduated from Valleyview Secondary School. She enjoyed many summers out at Sunnybrae Bible Camp both as a camper and staff and was actively involved at Dallas Barnhartvale Baptist Church. She attended Peace River Bible Institute where she discovered her passion for building friendships with people from other cultures. She loved the Persian people and their culture and was working with refugees from Iran in Istanbul. Along with her extended family, she will be sorely missed by her parents Mark and Dorothy Purdey and her sister Alana and brother-in-law Shane Powell. Sadly, her beloved nephew Xander is too young to really have known her but he will find out how much she loved him. She will also be missed by the myriad of friends and colleagues around the world who knew and loved her. She passed doing what she loved and having influence in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that all anyone could ask for? To have lived a life of passion and meaning.

We love you Lisa! There will be a closed Memorial service at Dallas Barnhartvale Baptist Church on Sunday, July 26, 2020. If people would like a Zoom link to attend virtually please contact Steve Campbell at steve@dbbc.ca.

Special thanks to the staff of Pine Grove Care Center for their loving care.

Lester Denis Taylor (AKA Bud)

THE ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there through your triumphs Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dance on clouds with pride, Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. And stood up for what was right. In your life youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be faced with decisions and trials And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cause thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an angel on your shoulder.

He was born in Edmonton, Alberta on February 5, 1943, his family moved to Vanderhoof, then to Kelowna where he spent most of his childhood. He then moved to Vancouver where he met and married Sheila in 1964 and raised their three children. He moved his family to Kelowna in 1974 before settling in Kamloops to open his own business in 1976. An avid outdoorsman, Bud would be found most weekends at a lake somewhere in the BC Interior with the love of his life by his side. Most of Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career took him to places all over the BC Interior as a travelling salesman. His two passions later became kinesiology where he could help people with their different ailments and the church where he worked on strengthening his relationship with God. For those who wish to attend, there will be a viewing at Schoeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home on Saturday, July 25, 2020 between 2:00 - 3:00 pm. There will also be a service held at The Seven Day Adventist Church on Sunday, July 26, 2020 at 1:00 pm. For virtual attendance please go to www.kamloopsadventist.ca The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks for all the love and support from the many friends, family, caregivers, Royal Inland Hospital and the Cancer Clinic. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Society in memory of Bud. Condolences may be made online at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
