DAVE EAGLES/KTW A pair of Canadian Forces Snowbirds CT-114 Tutor jets take off from Kamloops Airport on Tuesday morning. It marked the first time the iconic red and white jets have been airborne since the May 17 crash in Kamloops that claimed the life of Capt. Jennifer Casey and injured the pilot, Capt. Richard MacDougall. The rest of the squadron’s planes will be flown to home base in Moose Jaw later this month.
AFTER THE CRASH, SNOWBIRDS FLY AGAIN
MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The first two of 10 Canadian Forces Snowbirds CT-114 Tutor jets grounded at Kamloops Airport were flown home to Moose Jaw on Tuesday morning. Once back at base, the jets will be used to train other pilots in order to retrieve the remaining eight planes in about two weeks. The jets have been grounded since a May 17 crash in Kamloops claimed the life of Capt. Jennifer Casey and
injured the pilot, Capt. Richard MacDougall. Speaking to reporters on the tarmac of Kamloops Airport before takeoff on Tuesday, Lt.-Col. Denis Bandet, the Snowbirds’ commanding officer, said the departure marked the beginning of the squadron moving forward with pilot and technician training for 2021. The Royal Canadian Air Force has had a team of engineers examine the planes in preparation for their return home, Bandet said. “We took the time to sit back and look at everything through a microscope,” he said.
“We went through every bit of systems on the airplanes, from the motors to the avionics to the structures, to make sure that everything we’re doing with the airplane is proper and ready to go ahead.” Bandet said that process took time, which is why the jets have remained at the airport for the past three months. “We’re happy at this point we’ve assessed the risk and that we have every confidence in the Tutor moving forward. I wouldn’t be standing here today if I didn’t have the confidence in the airplane to get in,” Bandet said.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamlops plans to reopen Valleyview Arena and Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre, both of which closed earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Council has voted unanimously to expand reopening of its recreational facilities, adding to a growing list of city recreational facilities to welcome the public. Valleyview Arena will reopen on Sept. 14, while Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre will open its doors in early September, once the outdoor Brock Pool closes for the season, City of Kamloops recreation supervisor Linda Stride said the city is looking to open another ice rink this fall, due to demand. Following a city-wide recreational facility shutdown in mid-March, just one arena has so far reopened once B.C.’s economic restart plan was initiated — two ice sheets at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, which opened in late June and early July. A report to council notes the two sheets — NHL- and Olympic-sized rinks — are currently operating at 95 per cent capacity, with the majority of users being youth camps and clinics.
The province recently announced it is expanding its return to sport guidelines, moving into phase three and allowing additional training opportunities, modified matches and league play within a set number of sport cohorts. Coun. Arjun Singh said skating groups and parents with kids in skating programs have been emailing the city, requesting additional arenas to open, as well as flexibility around fees. “The question I asked staff was whether opening up Valleyview would meet the need,” Singh told KTW. “My sense is it will right now meet what they’re looking for. The idea is being flexible. If more demand is there, then what else we can open?” Part of the issue has been based on changes made to reopen arenas — indoor city facilities — safely, in keeping with COVID-19 protocols. Stride noted only 20 people are currently allowed on the ice at one time, including coaches, players and staff, and 30-minute gaps have been put in place between groups. Kamloops Long Blades head coach Sandi Vyse said after cancelling summer ice times, due to uncertainty amid the pandemic, the Long Blades returned to the Olympic-sized ice sheet at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre for the first time last week.
“We just had a few older skaters and some of our more experienced parents, just to go through the protocol to make sure that we’re thinking of everything,” Vyse said. “We have the challenge of putting our mats up and down, so we have to think about who is touching the mats and those types of things.” Vyse said the Long Blades have not had difficulty thus far with ice times, as they have longstanding recurring times blocked off with the city. Vyse said with the Valleyview and Brocklehurst arenas closed, groups that had ice times in those facilities would have been the ones left scrambling. “If you don’t say anything different, you’re just granted the same ice time year after year,” Vyse explained. “We’ve been here since 1992, so we just have always had that same ice time. The ones that would be the most stressed would be the ones who had ice times in the other arenas that aren’t opening. They’ll be scrambling to see where the city can fit them in in the other facilities around the established groups who already have ice times.” See WESTSYDE, A6

Westsyde will close again in January, when Canada Games Pool is set to reopen From A5
The Valleyview Skating Club, the Kamloops Long Blades and the Kamloops Skating Club had all suspended operations at the onset of the pandemic. The Valleyview Skating Club operates out of Valleyview Arena. The Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre will be open from September to December, while the Canada Games Aquatic Centre remains under repair. Stride said the city wants to ensure one pool is open while the Canada Games Pool is under construction. That facility is expected to reopen in early January. Westsyde is set to open on Sept. 8 for swim clubs, with the general public admitted to the gym under limited hours. On Sept. 21, hours for the facility will be extended to allow for public swims and longer gym hours. The hot tub, sauna and steam room will remain closed. Once the Canada Games
To read more stories from city hall, go online to kamloopsthisweek. com Aquatic Centre reopens in January, city staff recommend shifting all swimming programs there and closing the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre until at least fall 2021. Mayor Ken Christian said COVID-19 poses challenges, specifically with arena usage. “They’re saying you can’t have games, that perhaps maybe three-on-three hockey would be something that would be suitable,” Christian said. “If you think about the number of people who play hockey in this town and the number of three-on-three games you’d have to have, we would have to have ice sheets from here to Heffley Creek, so we can’t do that as a city.”
There has been no word on the city regarding offering flexibility on fees to user groups. Singh said as council moves ahead with talks about service cuts to keep taxes low, the city faces a “conundrum,” with recreation key to the well-being of residents. “We’ve got to figure out who needs it more than other folks,” Singh said. “Then it becomes a question of how the community kind of sees that, too. “I think it’s a real conversation about community needs at a community-wide level. If people are looking at it more from a personal perspective, that might be a little more challenging.” RECREATIONAL FACILITIES THAT HAVE REOPENED • Tennis and pickleball courts; • Limited number of playing fields and ball diamonds; • Nature parks • Tournament Capital Centre • McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre;
• Brocklehurst Pool; • Prince Charles Park wading pool and water spray parks; • Overlander Park beach volleyball courts; • McArthur Island Disc Golf Course and mini-golf course. WINTER IS COMING As the seasons change, more people will be turning indoors for recreational opportunities. Indoor spaces are considered more high-risk, in terms of passing on the novel coronavirus to others. Singh said he is looking to the community to ensure indoor recreational facilities remain open. “We have to still keep following the regulations, guidance from the medical health office,” he said. “If we start getting cases in a big cluster in Kamloops, everything will shut down again. We have to be responsible as a community. “Social distance, mask up when you’re indoors, wash your hands and all that important stuff to consider.”

SD73 classes amid COVID-19 pandemic begin next week MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops-Thompson school district’s restart plan amid the pandemic is now posted in its website at sd73.bc.ca. Of note is this piece of information with respect to how the semester system will be replaced by the quarter system: “To support the implementation of learning groups at secondary schools, the quarter system, or Copernican system, will be used. Students will be enrolled in two classes a day for 10 weeks for four quarters. “ Given the cohort model ( 120 students in secondary groups, 90 students in groups at Brock Middle School and 60 students in elementary groups), secondary schools won’t be able to offer the linear system as students would have contacts with more than 120 students, while the two-semester system would limit the number of courses under COVID-19 protocols. Brocklehurst Middle School, however, will maintain a linear schedule with three terms. In addition, all inter-school events including competitions, tournaments and festivals will not take place. Parents and guardians will
learn the specifics of schedules for students of each school from their principals this week. School resumes on Sept. 8, though students will not return until Sept. 10. The first week will consist of orientation to the new protocols, when students will be assigned to their class, find out who is in their learning group and practise health protocols and new routines for moving to and from the class to outdoor and common areas. In-class teaching is set to begin on Sept. 14. According to the school district, some of its larger secondary schools may need to supplement in-class instruction with online, self-directed or remote learning where course offerings cannot be delivered through learning groups or physical distancing as cohorts are limited to no more than 120 students and staff. Under the KamloopsThompson school district plan, students are to stay in their learning groups for recess, lunch and other breaks. To reduce contact with children in other learning groups, students may be assigned segregated areas for recess and lunch and use separate entrances and exits if they cannot maintain physical distancing at their school.
WIN A HOUSE!
Breaks and lunches may also be staggered so fewer students are in areas at the same time. Students won’t need to maintain distance within a cohort and can socialize with peers in different learning groups if they are outdoors and can minimize physical contact or if they are indoors and can maintain physical distancing. Siblings will not be restricted to the same learning groups. In situations where physical distancing cannot occur outside of cohorts, masks must be worn, according to the local district’s restart plan. At the elementary level, students will still be separated by classrooms, but could interact within their learning group of up to 60 students that could consist of two classes that work together on shared projects or up to three primary classes that go outside together on a regular basis. In addition, all inter-school events, including competitions, tournaments and festivals, will not be permitted, but extracurricular activities including sports, arts and special interest clubs can occur if physical distancing can be maintained between members of different learning groups or if reduced contact is practiced by those within the same learning group.

COVID PROTOCOLS A WORK IN PROGRESS
T
here has been a steady rise in the number of new COVID19 cases, in B.C. and in other parts of the world — and it remains unclear whether we are still in the first wave or entering a second. The number of new cases in B.C. has been increasing since July and, despite repeated messages from the provincial government, a significant decline has not yet been seen. Since March, measures have been put in place to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. These include physical-distancing requirements and limits to the number of people in a gathering or at an event. In addition, people have been urged to wear face masks when in public and to wash their hands frequently. These efforts can make a difference. At present, there is no cure for COVID-19 and it remains to be seen if an effective vaccine can be developed. There have been reports of people being reinfected months after first contracting the virus. Can a vaccine work? Does getting the virus make one immune to it afterwards? These are questions with no comprehensive answers. Worldwide, more than 25-million people have been infected with COVID-19, and more than 850,000 have died. Canada has had close to 130,000 cases and more than 9,000 deaths. In addition, some who have recovered from COVID-19 have had ongoing health problems as a result. COVID-19 can have severe consequences. This weekend, as Canadians celebrate the last long weekend of the summer, it is important to continue to exercise caution. An outbreak now, just before the start of the school year, could have devastating results for our communities and for our families. A significant increase in the total number of COVID-19 cases could result in lockdowns or other harsh measures in an effort to bring the pandemic under control once again. It is far easier to work within the existing parameters and to follow the protocols and directives set out by the province.

Why trust the SD73 plan?
T
here is a feeling of uncertainty for some members of our communities as the first day of school approaches. Parents, students, teachers and staff are being asked to trust the school district and its School District 73 Education Restart Plan. I know this is a big request. The board of education understands people may feel concerned. Let me explain why we support this plan. We trust the direction provided by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. We agree with her words: “It is that important for us to be able to have school, manage school, despite having a pandemic ... we can get through this and we will be working together to make sure that we have the things that are needed in place.” The school district is following Henry’s guidance and the parameters she has set with the Ministry of Education. The district plan has been approved by the Ministry of Education and it is supported by our education partners. The plan has been reviewed and input was provided by the Kamloops District Parent Advisory Council, the SD73 board of education, the Kamloops-Thompson Principal and Vice-Principal Association, the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association, the Aboriginal Education Council and the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 3500. Schools will look different this year.
RHONDA KERSHAW View From
SD73
They will not be open to the general public. They will be controlled spaces, with parents and caregivers making appointments to visit. Stringent hygiene and cleanliness standards will be kept and students will have contact only with others in their learning groups. This contact will not necessarily occur with everyone in their learning group every day, but it may occur over the course of the school year. There’s a lot more to say about how schools will be kept safe in the maintaining safe and healthy schools guidelines, posted to the sd73.bc.ca website. Parents and caregivers have options. Distance learning and home schooling are alternatives to in-class instruction. Equity and inclusion will be a particular focus for each student. SD73 students with an inclusive education plan, who attend in person or enrol in distance learning at @KOOL will continue to receive support. Students who need to stay
home because they are immunocompromised will have an athome learning plan and be provided with an educational program. Schools will be providing socialemotional and well-being supports for students and staff. Beginning this week, every family will have an opportunity to discuss their child’s options with their home school before the start of the school year. School staff will be reaching out to answer questions, provide information and help parents determine the best option for their children. We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe this school year. That includes staying home if we feel ill and, as parents, keeping our children home if they are sick. I encourage you to read the SD73 Restart Plan, the health and safety guidelines and the frequently asked questions, all of which are posted on the district’s website and on the website of your child’s school. We are confident in our principals, teachers and support staff and we know our schools, communities and, most importantly, your children are in good hands as we begin the 2020-2021 school year. We look forward to welcoming our staff and students back to our schools. Rhonda Kershaw is a School District 73 trustee and chair of the board of education. SD73 columns appear monthly in KTW during the school year. Kershaw can be reached via email at rkershaw@sd73.bc.ca. To comment on this column, email editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HERE’S HOPING AMERICAN VOTERS DUMP TRUMP Editor: After four years, and maybe even earlier, this is what we know to be true about Donald Trump. He is a compulsive liar, a racist, a bigot, a braggart, a bully, a draft dodger, a womanizer, a narcissist and, as his sister Maryanne added, he is downright cruel. Trump is like an immature teenaged bully who calls people names, mocks the handicapped and blames others for any wrongdoing. He said the pandemic was a hoax, did not wear a mask in public, refused to listen to the scientific evidence and suggested Lysol as a solution to COVID-19. He is partly responsible for close to 200,000 deaths. At the expense of people being injured during a peaceful march, he tried appealing to the religious by staging a photo-op in front of a church while apparently holding a Bible upside down. Trump has endangered America and the world because he refuses to believe scientific evidence about global warming. He admires dictators and includes sexual deviants — namely Jeffrey Epstein and Jerry Falwell Jr. — among his friends. He is now talking about law and order. It was against the law for him to hold his Republican National Convention speech at the White House. Seven of his closest and chosen advisors have been arrested, tried and convicted, with all of them going to jail. Recently, a 17-year-old boy shot and killed two people because he understood the message he got from Trump was that it was acceptable behaviour. The U.S. is now in a violence-drenched shambles and Trump (original name Drumpf) is directly responsible. Yet, even after knowing all this and more, there are Americans who are willing to put a check mark by his name. Unbelievable. God help America! Marie Fabbro, Kamloops
TIME TO MAKE MASKS MANDATORY Editor: With mask usage becoming mandatory at more places — Starbucks, Walmart, Real Canadian Superstore, Winners, BC Transit and partially in schools — why are restaurants that serve food to diners inside not also ordered to have servers wear masks? Servers in some Kamloops restaurants don’t wear masks as it remains a choice, not a requirement. These aren’t normal times. These are
COVID-19 times. We used to love dining out three or four times per week before the pandemic. Now, virus numbers in B.C. are on the rise. There is a small distance between the server’s exhalations and the food you are eating, so isn’t it time that masks be made a requirement for the health and safety of customers who dine out? If the server is unknowingly a car-
rier of COVID-19, dining customers are potentially at risk. I suggest it is time Health Minister Adrian Dix eliminates this dining-out risk to patrons and require food servers to wear protective masks to conduct business with the public. It’s time to do the responsible thing and not leave the mask issue a restaurant’s choice. Les Evens Kamloops
LEGION LEAVES CENTURY LEGACY FOR CLAN Editor: Our family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Kamloops Legion. In the midst of uncertain times, the Legion opened its doors on July 27 to help us celebrate the 100th birthday of our father/grandfather/great grandfather, Thomas Cousin. Our sincere thanks to Mike Young, Craig Thomson and the ladies of the Legion for a wonderful meal and excellent service. Tom had an amazing day surrounded by friends, neighbours and family.

Snowbirds cite support From A1
Bandet and Capt. Logan Reid flew the two jets out of Kamloops on Tuesday. Capt. Alexandra Hejduk, public affairs officer with 19 Wing Comox, said the two jets will be used to train other pilots who require more flying time. As the jets have sat for more than 90 days, additional flying time amongst the pilots is needed to get their currencies up, so permission was granted from Second Canadian Air Division commander Brig.-Gen. Denis O’Reilly to fly a minimal number of the jets to home base in Moose Jaw for training, Hejduk said. She said those eight pilots will be in Kamloops within two weeks to fly the other eight jets to Saskatchewan. There will be a public service announcement issued at that time for their departure, but the RCAF has asked that members of the public refrain from visiting the airport to see the jets leave due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Bandet said they are excited to get back in the air and he hopes for an eventual return to normalcy reminiscent of the demonstration squadron’s operations in the past. “On behalf of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Canadian Armed Forces, 431 Air Demonstration Squadron and 15 Wing Moose Jaw, I want to extend my thanks to the community of Kamloops, the residents of Brocklehurst and the First Nations community,” Bandet said. “The outpouring of support has been outstanding and we felt it resonate all the way back to Moose Jaw — and it’s helped us get through this difficult period.” On May 17, a CT-114 Tutor Snowbirds jet leaving Kamloops Airport en route to its next stop on the cross-Canada Operation Inspiration tour crashed into a Brocklehurst neighbourhood, killing military public affairs officer Casey and injuring pilot MacDougall. The entire fleet was then grounded pending a probe into the crash.
In June, the RCAF released a preliminary report, confirming it is exploring a bird strike as the possible cause of the crash. Video footage of the accident showed a bird in very close proximity to the plane’s right engine as it was taking off. “The investigation is focusing on environmental factors [bird strike] as well as the performance of the escape system,” the report stated. In August, the fleet’s operational pause was lifted, with some flying restrictions, clearing the way for the planes to be flown back to base, though the investigation into the crash continues. In the past few weeks, maintenance crews have been in Kamloops, ensuring the Snowbirds jets are ready to fly when the decision to take them back to Saskatchewan was made. Members of that crew recently spent a day of team bonding at the disc golf course on McArthur Island (that story can be read on the next page of this newspaper).

Snowbirds crew enjoys team bonding at disc golf course MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
“You’re in the danger zone,” aviator Jasmine Francoeur said as she tried her hand at disc golf for the first time. “I don’t know what the par was — because I didn’t make it,” her peer, Maj. Kyle Pilatzke, replied with a laugh after finishing his turn. The clanging of goal posts echoed around the McArthur Island disc golf course on a sunny, Thursday afternoon as Francoueur, Pilatzke and about 18 other members of the Snowbirds maintenance crew enjoyed a friendly team-building game. Whether throwing a laser beam to the goal or sending the disc listing to the left, the two shared smiles, laughs and some good-natured ribbing in their group as they made their way through the 18-basket course with avionics mechanic Cpl. Kate Ballard and public affairs officer Lt. Becky Major on a much-deserved day off. The members of the grounded Snowbirds squadron have been in Kamloops for about two weeks, performing maintenance work on the jets, which are starting to leave Kamloops for their home base in Moose Jaw now that the Royal Canadian Air Force has lifted an operational pause for the fleet. The first two of the 10-plane squadron took off from Kamloops Airport on Tuesday. The red and white planes have been sitting at the airport since mid-May.

Grand old building gets new lease on life JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Vaughn Warren prepares to install a new sign on the outside of Kamloops Makerspace, recognizing the history of the 120-year-old Old Federal Building at 207 West Victoria St.
FOR NEW AND RETURNING STUDENTS TO SD73 For more information visit our website at sd73.bc.ca
A West Victoria Street building with plenty of history has received a facelift. The Old Federal Building at 207 West Victoria St., which dates back to the early 1900s and is now occupied by Kamloops Makerspace, has a new front staircase, a gate, a roof and landscaping — all the result of a collaboration launched around the city’s West Victoria Street rehabilitation project. Kamloops artist and Makerspace member Vaughn Warren said the area in front of the building was previously a “mess.” “Now we have this beautiful gate, with some art metal,” he said, explaining the renovation. “The city put in the flower beds, we have a new metro gold Maple tree, which is beautiful for the Federal Building, banners, new lighting.” Warren gave time to co-ordinate the renovation project, which began about two years ago, and said a number of community partners — the city, Extreme Excavating, Urban Appeal Landscaping, GH Innovations, Michael Lynn of MC Squared Developments, which owns the property, and others — contributed about $90,000 to revamp the property. Although the building is not designated a heritage structure, Warren said it is important to maintain the city’s history. The building is more than a century old and was once at the centre of the city’s main
street in Chinatown. Warren said the building was constructed in 1900 and, at that time, it was the federal government’s headquarters in Kamloops. “A building like this is priceless,” Warren said. “Once it’s gone, you’ll never see anything like it. It also anchors this historic section of Kamloops. This is this oldest section of Kamloops.” Warren said older buildings were made to last, which is what has led to the structure still standing on West Victoria Street today. At first the federal government’s headquarters locally, the building was later home to the post office and Indian Affairs. John Freemont Smith, a Kamloops pioneer and one of the first black alderman elected in Canada, at one time had an office in the building, working for Indian Affairs. His office is now home to a design lab with a flashy new vinyl cover, gifted by Extreme Excavating in February. The building later became a men’s hostel and has since been the home of Kamloops Makerspace, a non-profit that offers a place for people, at a monthly membership rate, to build, create, tinker and design. Additional efforts to restore the venerable building are ongoing. Warren said every time a room is renovated, efforts are made to preserve and showcase historic tin pan ceiling patterns, found in old government buildings. “Gorgeous, original, Canadian federal government [tin pan],” he said.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW The 120-year-old Kamloops Makerspace building is now home to a time capsule, created from items today and intended to be opened in the future. The time capsule is in the staircase and includes newspaper articles, information about the area, an essay about the building from the Kamloops Museum and Archives, seeds — and even DNA samples.
A moment in time As the area’s past is discussed in the present, people in the future will be looking back at this time. Included in the Kamloops Makerspace/Federal Building renovation project is a time capsule created from those in the area today. Warren said a tomb in the staircase contains a number of items, including newspaper articles, information about the area, an essay about the building from the Kamloops Museum and Archives, seeds and even DNA samples. Warren said a number of people placed hair in envelopes, with a message to those in the future: “If you can clone people, regenerate us!” he said with a laugh. The time capsule is held by a skeleton wearing the coveralls of Francis Ramunno, who has oper-
ated Riversyde Auto Repair in the West Victoria Street corridor for four decades. Warren said Kamloops Makerspace is excited to be part of the West Victoria Street revitalization. “It’s come a long way,” he said of the $13-million reconstruction project that was just completed last month. “It’s hard to even remember what it looked like two years ago down here, but I have photos. It was really, really bad. It was really, really sad,” Warren said. “Now it looks awesome. You see all of the companies that have stuck it out. More business, better access. Less unfortunate transient activity in the area. It’s really upped the bar, in terms of pride in the area.” — Jessica Wallace

QUALIFIED ROOFER REQUIRED
Dynamite in river detonated KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Police have detonated dynamite that was reeled in last week by an angler on the South Thompson River in east Kamloops. Mounties said the fisherman was pulling in his anchor near the Lafarge Road Bridge
on Aug. 26 when he found a bag of explosives. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Sascha Fesenko told KTW a police dive team found the bag — containing a detonation cord and a small amount of dynamite — the following day.
“They retrieved it out of the water,” he said, noting an RCMP bomb unit safely deto-
nated the explosives. Fesenko said he only had limited information and could not

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Kamloops Mounties say they seized a number of pieces of stolen property this week after neighbours reported a problem property to the city. Police and bylaw officers were at a house on Cornwall Street last week to deal with a number of complaints. Cpl. Melanie Murdy said police officers spotted a number of stolen items in plain view when they entered the home, then returned with a warrant. Murdy said police seized multiple stolen bikes, stolen tools and replica firearms. “Neighbours commended the RCMP for their work and are hopeful, with the assistance of bylaw and the RCMP, the complaints drawn from the problem property will cease,” Murdy said.” Cornwall Street is between Kent and Windsor Avenues in North Kamloops, one block east of Schubert Drive and the North Thompson River.

disclosure provided to defence lawyers by the end of next month. A week in December has been set aside to deal with any issues that might arise in the coming months. Gold had been involved in the drug trade. Townsend, previously described by police as having gang ties, is believed to have been a top lieutenant of Red Scorpions founder Konaam Shirzad before Shirzad was shot to death outside his Guerin Creek home in September 2017. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky has previously told KTW the investigation into Gold’s death was the most complex ever undertaken by city police. Details of the alleged slaying, presented in December during a bail hearing, are bound by a court-ordered ban on publication.
Killer awaits his sentencing A Fraser Valley man who murdered his girlfriend in a Kamloops motel suite in 2016 will have to wait until at least mid-October to learn how long he will spend behind bars. David Miller was found guilty in July of seconddegree murder. On Aug. 27, 2016, the body of Debra Novacluse was found in a suite at the Super 8 motel on Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen. Miller, 69, was arrested days later in Ontario and has been in custody since. Miller had been charged with first-degree murder because the Crown argued Novacluse’s death was part of a sexual assault. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Marguerite Church said she was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that was the case. She found Miller guilty of the lesser included charge of second-degree murder. Second-degree murder carries with it an automatic life sentence, but it will be up to Church to determine a period of parole ineligibility, the minimum being 10 years and the maximum being 25 years. This week, lawyers will et a date for a one-day sentencing hearing.

Last month, charges against all but one of the accused were downgraded to manslaughter. Jayden Eustache faces a count of second-degree murder, while Nathan Townsend, Darien Rohel, John Davis and Sean Scurt are each charged with manslaughter.

A virtual panel discussion on COVID-19 and racism will take place this Friday, featuring three local speakers. The panel is being organized by a new group, which says COVID-19 and racism should both be considered pandemics, each disproportionately affecting Canadian communities of colour. Motion of Colour was founded this summer and calls itself a youth-centred and student-led group focusing on discussions of racial equality. The group, in partnership
with Kamloops Immigrant Services, was founded by Joy Kwak and Mary Falade, two university students attending school on opposite ends of the country — Kwak at McGlll and Falade at UBC — but both of whom call Kamloops home and have family locally. “Because we’ve lived here for 10 years or so, we know there aren’t that many resources available, outside of school,” Kwak told KTW. “So, we wanted to create a space where youth of colour, and people not of colour, can come together to discuss racial equality.” Panelists include Bill Sundhu, a lawyer and former
judge who has has worked in Canadian and International human rights law, Les Carty, a community activist who spoke about his experience with police at a Black Lives Matter rally in June, and Elaine Alec, a local First Nations author who just released a book on her childhood experiences of abuse, racism and alcoholism and her path to healing. Falade and Kwak will moderate the panel, guiding questions and allowing for a Q&A session from the virtual audience. Kwak said it’s easy to show support on social media, but showing up for events such as

the panel discussion is another way to show solidarity and learn how two major issues of the day intersect. “We wanted to show that racism is all-permeating. It affects every aspect of your life. It can also affect how you’re impacted by COVID-19, whether it’s economically or the chances of you dying from it, that there is a disproportionate effect,” Kwak said. The discussion will take place via Zoom call on Friday, Sept. 4, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. To take part, find the registration link on the Motion of Colour Facebook or Instagram pages.

Day care will have 144 spaces when it opens CHILDREN’S CIRCLE DAYCARE WILL EXPECTS TO MOVE INTO NEW FACILITY IN LATE SUMMER OF 2021 MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
By this time next year, Children’s Circle Daycare expects to be fully operational at its new Sagebrush (South Kamloops) location, which broke ground on Monday. “We’re ambitiously hoping for a 12-month build period,” said Amy Pannett, secretary of the Children’s Circle
Daycare Society board. The $4.7-million project is now under construction at the corner of McMurdo Drive and Ninth Avenue and will give the day care 12,000 square feet of space, up from the 3,000 square feet it had at its former location near Royal Inland Hospital. The day care was forced to move because of the patient-care tower construction project at the hospital. It is now operating out of a
temporary location downtown on Seymour Street, which is smaller than its site near the hospital. Pannett said the increased square footage will enable the day care to add 96 child-care spaces to increase to 144 spaces. “We’re essentially tripling our capacity,” Pannett said, noting the demand for child care in the city. At present, Children’s Circle Daycare offers child care in two programs for children to age five, and that will continue.
It will add before- and afterschool care and a preschool program when its new facility is built. The day care will also be hiring another five to 10 employees as a result, Pannett said. The society was initially going to build a new site in Valleyview, on land next to the McCracken Station Pub, but as a result of a land swap with the City of Kamloops, it will be building in the more desired Sagebrush location — one that is in a residential
neighbourhood, near schools and closer to the downtown core, where 90 per cent of day care children’s parents work, Pannett said. “From our perspective, this location is far better,” she said, noting that finding a location big enough with the outdoor space desired is virtually impossible in the city’s core. The new building will be a twostorey facility with a kitchen and a large outdoor playground on the property.

No mask? No WestJet flight KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
WestJet is implementing a strict new policy to ensure passengers wear a mask on its flights, including the possibility of being denied travel for a year if they refuse. The airline is also requiring the input of all passengers’ contact information at online and kiosk check-in to help with contact tracing in the case of infected individuals on board a flight. This applies to all WestJet flights under the WestJet, WestJet Encore, WestJ et Link and Swoop banners. WestJet has six daily flights from Kamloops to Calgary, excluding Saturdays. Passengers have been required to wear a mask during travel since
April to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning on Sept. 1, the refusal to wear a mask on board one of its flights by passengers over the age of two will be managed through a three-step process. Passengers will first be asked to put a mask on in a discussion with cabin crew, then given a warning that masks are required and compliance is necessary. If passengers continue to refuse, WestJet said it will result in follow-up notification that they will be placed on a no-fly list for travel on any WestJet Group aircraft for 12 months. WestJet Group chief executive Ed Sims said the vast majority of passengers are happy to keep
themselves and each other safe by complying. “This enhanced policy provides clarity on how we will enforce the regulation for those who don’t. Travellers must understand if they choose to not wear a mask, they are choosing not to fly our airlines,’’ Sims said. “ Since April 20, it has been mandatory for travellers to wear protective face coverings throughout their travel journey, including at the airport and while in flight and at the airport. As outlined by Transport Canada, travellers requiring an exemption to the regulation for health reasons must produce a certified medical note or will be subject to the measures as outlined.
Starbucks joins face-covering crowd Starbucks is the latest chain company to move to mandatory mask-wearing by customers in its stores. Effective Sept. 14, customers will be required to wear facial coverings while visiting all companyowned café locations in Canada. Customers can also visit drive-thrus, order curbside pickup through the Starbucks app and place an order for delivery through Starbucks Delivers.
“All decisions are grounded in partner and customer care and safety, based on facts and science, and communicated with transparency,” Starbucks said in a statement. A number of firms and organizations have implemented mandatory mask measures, including Walmart, Real Canadian Superstore, Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls, along with BC Transit CONNECT In-Store and BC Ferries.

Buying legal cannabis online now a reality You can now pay for your pot online, but you still have to pick it up from a private retailer — at least for now. Due to the pandemic, private cannabis stores are now able to accept payment for non-medical cannabis products online and the province is also accepting private proposals for delivery. During the pandemic’s early days,
the province had eased rules to allow online reservation of products. However, customers still had to go into stores to pay for and pick up their purchases. The Association of Canadian Cannabis Retailers called on the province to go further in loosening the rules. It asked the province to modify cannabis retail regulations to allow private retailers to accept online
payments and make door-to-door deliveries. The association argued online payments would allow customers to avoid contamination points and reduce in-store contact, helping to curb spread of the novel coronavirus. It also said deliveries would accommodate customers who are unable to leave their homes due to quarantine or
being immunocompromised. A private retailer in Kamloops also raised questions about whether a provincial monopoly of online cannabis sales is fair to private retailers, as BC Cannabis Stores — the government’s cannabis retailer — has been the sole retailer to allow online sales and delivery. The attorney general’s office will now allow online sales, but in-store
pickup is still required in order to allow employees to check identification. However, the province said it is “considering proposals” from private retailers for delivery. The new rules will allow payment for non-medical cannabis to be made via website, app or telephone. Retailers with multiple stores can also accept gift cards at any of its locations or online.

Raise a Reader will continue, but digitally SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
An annual campaign aiming to boost literacy among children and families begins this month, but due to the pandemic, the usual volunteer brigade won’t be taking to the streets. For the past 13 years, between 150 and 200 volunteers have taken part in Raise a Reader, selling special editions of local newspapers — including Kamloops This Week — for donations in Kamloops, Barriere, Chase, Clearwater and Logan Lake, as well as the Lower Mainland, where the campaign originated in 1997. Due to COVID-19, newspapers won’t be sold, but donations will still be accepted. The donations collected go toward Literacy in Kamloops, an organization that uses the funds to run community literacy programs such as Mother Goose, the Bright Red Book Bus and one-to-one tutoring for children and adults. Funds are then matched by the provincial government. This year’s Raise a Reader week will take place from Sept. 18 to Sept. 25. “Last year, we almost doubled
DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE Two years ago this month, Kamloops Storm players Tison Young (left), Brayden Davis and Jaxon Kjenstad helped raise funds for Raise a Reader by selling copies of KTW. Due to the pandemic, there will be no paperboys or papergirls on the streets in 2020 — but the endeavour will continue online.
our money,” said Literacy in Kamloops outreach co-ordinator Fiona Clare. “We did really well.” In 2019, the endeavour raised more than $7,000 in Kamloops. This year, funds will primarily be collected through an online donation portal at raiseareader. ca, while KTW will also be accept-
ing donations at its office, 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Southgate. Clare said volunteers will miss the opportunity this year to speak with donors one-on-one and spread the word about the importance of literacy in their community. “So we have to go virtual. We’re
not totally sure how it will work, but everyone is dealing with the same challenges,” she said. Clare said digital literacy is important this year. Because many of the organization’s programs have shifted to virtual settings, adults need to learn even more in order to continue their education. Clare said the difficulty in doing so is more than worth it, however. “One of the main things is that they become more confident in themselves, more hopeful,” she said. “It allows them to seek employment, get a better job, it improves their life chances.” There are also ongoing challenges with teaching kids to read. Clare said screens, video games and YouTube all mean children are reading less for pleasure. She has spent this summer
tutoring children for free and has seen first-hand what learning to read can do. “The light goes on. You see them reading the words and it’s not really making sense, and then all of a sudden, they’re like, ‘Oh, I know what that says.’ And then they’re reading for meaning,” she said. Donations can be made now online at raiseareader.ca. SPELLING BEE, TRIVIA CHALLENGE TO LAUNCH RAISE A READER This year’s Raise a Reader campaign will begin on Sept. 14 with a (smaller than usual) adult spelling bee event, followed by a virtual trivia night on Sept. 22. For more information on the spelling bee and on Literacy in Kamloops, go online to literacyinkamloops.weebly.com. The virtual trivia night will take place on Sept. 22 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Teams of two to six players can enter online at decoda.ca. To play, each of a team’s players must choose a community and make a donation. They will then receive an email with a Zoom video conference link and password.

Remembering ocean cruising before COVID-19 JANE CASSIE
SPECIAL TO KTW
travelwriterstales.com
F
rom the comfort of my office, I reflect back on this Holland America cruise, which we had taken just months before the arrival of COVID-19 and the subsequent demise of our travel industry. “Do you think you’ll have this ship figured out by the time we’re back to Rome?” my husband had joked, as I took the wrong staircase again. We were on day two of 12, cruising our way around the Mediterranean, with friends. I was still confused as to which deck hosted what, even though I had linked my cell phone to the ship’s navigator, the number of areas and offerings were mindboggling. A musical theme flowed throughout the classy Koningsdam and an array of venues provided us with live entertainment. We jived to pop in the Rolling Stones, sung along with pianists at the Billboard Onboard, grooved to Memphis tunes at B.B. King’s Blues Club and strolled beyond the casino to the World Stage where two nightly shows were performed. Daily activities ranged from trivia and boardgame Scattegories, to chess and bridge games. The Greenhouse Spa & Salon was a nurturing haven where we relaxed and restored — the oceanviewing fitness centre boosted our heart rates. With two swimming pools, ping pong, basketball and pickle ball — there was never a shortage of action. As we all know, cuisine is a big part of cruising life. We joined the Fishers daily at the Lido Market and selected from yummy themed stations: baked goods from Breadboard,

Inspired by music, her design features fluid lines, light-filled spaces and innovative, new dining and entertainment venues —f rom the dazzling, two-story World Stage to Music Walk, with Lincoln Centre Stage, B.B.

humungous salad bowls from Wild Harvest, ethnic delights from Distant Lands and decadent desserts from the Sweet Spot. Just beyond the Lido Market was the Dive-In that dished up awesome burgers and crispy French fries. Stairs from this grill led to the New York Deli, where we could build our own pizza. The Grand Dutch Cafe was a casual eatery that honoured the ship’s heritage with specialties like veal ragout and split pea soup. Explorations on the top floor Crow’s Nest had a selection of sweets and sandwiches topped off with a sensational panoramic view. A gorgeous two-storey dining room satisfied our palates on most evenings. Edison, our knowledgeable wine sommelier, provided perfect
pairing recommendations, while Yudha and Asep catered to every gastronomic desire: alluring appetizers like French onion soup, New York strip loin coupled with portabella mushrooms and regionallyinspired Provencale Minestrone. The main dishes continued to amaze us, from a line-up available at each sitting to specialties of day — St. Peters fish, doused in olives and onions, Veal piccatta baked in mozzarella and eggplant cannelloni for vegetarian fans. When it came to desserts, none of us were able to get up from the table without sampling at least one. Although the main dining room certainly satisfied, we also made reservations at the reasonably-priced specialty restaurants. Rudi’s Sel de Mer was an
intimate ala carte brasserie that featured French cuisine, the Canaletto dished up tasty Italian fare, the Pinnacle Grill lured meat lovers and the Tamarind boasted specialties from Thailand, China and Vietnam. We could easily have chilled out on this luxurious floating hotel for the entire cruise, but fortunately, over the 12 days, there were nine intriguing ports where we could burn off some calories. In Dubrovnik, Croatia’s top tourist haunt, we sauntered around the enchanting old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with medieval walls that dated back to the 12th century. The following day was Montenegro’s storybook hamlet of Kotor where we took a speed boat tour and explored histori-

A dance session in Koper, a beach day in Corfu, a step back in time to the Neolithic era in Malta and lastly, we were mesmerized by Pompeii in Naples. It was a very full and amazing port show. And similar to our lavish home on the sea, this Mediterranean itinerary is one that I’ll clearly remember, until we can one day cruise again.

HE SHALL PREPARE A WAY
Introducing a young man named Nephi and his faith journey
O
pening to the first page of The Book of Mormon introduces us to a young man named Nephi. He started his record by writing about what was happening in Jerusalem in the year 600 BC — which was about a decade before it was destroyed by the Babylonians. That year was the beginning of his own journey of faith. Nephi wanted to show everyone the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he has chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even to the power of deliverance. So he began telling us his story. Nephi was the youngest of four brothers — Laman, Lemuel, Sam and himself — who were members of a rich, religious family in Jerusalem. That year, when Nephi’s father, Lehi, publicly foretold the coming of a messiah and prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem, the Jews were angry with him. They sought his life, so Lehi fled into the wilderness with his family. Not all of Nephi’s siblings were spiritually or emotionally prepared for the sudden and drastic change from riches and comfort to living in a tent outside of the city — all because of their father’s beliefs. Nephi wasn’t prepared, either, but
ANDREW LAMB You Gotta Have
FAITH
unlike his siblings he took his questions to the Lord, in prayer. Because of that, the Lord visited Nephi and softened his heart so he could believe his father’s words and not rebel against him like his brothers did. Soon after that experience, Nephi and his siblings were asked by Lehi to return to Jerusalem to obtain a set of metal plates from a dangerous and wicked local government leader named Laban. These brass plates contained all of the writings of the ancient prophets up to that time (containing many writings found in the Bible’s Old Testament today) and would be valuable to the family in their new homeland. Nephi’s response to this difficult request was full of faith in God and obedience to his father. He said, “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing
which he commandeth them.” That attitude became the hallmark of Nephi’s life and ministry. No matter how bad situations became, he trusted the Lord to deliver him so he could accomplish the tasks he was assigned. In the assignment to obtain the brass plates, and in all future assignments, whenever Nephi’s older brothers would beat him, leave him tied up in the desert, try to throw him off cliffs or attempt to silence him or take his life — all because he always stood up for his faith that they would succeed — God always delivered him. Nephi always forgave his brothers and they eventually succeeded in each task. Whenever the family would find themselves unprepared for any of nature’s obstacles to their journey across the desert and over the ocean, Nephi’s faith in God’s guidance was usually the key to their progression. When Nephi was commanded by God to build a ship to cross the ocean, he trusted that God could teach him how to build a ship — God did. When his brothers and in-laws understandably doubted his ability to build a seaworthy ship, Nephi reminded them that if God could divide the Red Sea in order to make it possible for Moses to complete his mission, then God could instruct him on how to build a ship. They eventually
believed Nephi and worked together as a family to build the ship that carried them all to the Americas. In many remarkable moments, Nephi showed us again and again that when we’re asked by God to do something, if we have faith in him and act on it, then we can trust him to make that task possible for us, regardless of the obstacles we see or experience. Nephi wanted to show the world that God delivers those whom he chooses to do his will. Nephi’s life story is a testament to that belief. He taught and demonstrated unflinching faith in God for his entire life and wrote down his experiences, teachings, testimony of Jesus Christ and visions of his present and the future. For an incredible journey of faith in Jesus Christ, family, forgiveness, humility, prayer and deliverance, I invite you to read Nephi’s record in The Book of Mormon, starting in 1 Nephi chapter 1.

Dear Friends, It seems like a much harder task now.
Tomorrow my father, Angus Currie, will turn 90 years old. Happy birthday Dad.
It seems like things have never changed so much as they have in the last six months. It seems like it has never been more difficult -- despite better models and theories -- to predict what is coming next. We could choose to feel powerless in the face of global forces beyond our control. We could be tempted to fatalism.
My father was born in 1930, one year into the Great Depression. World War II started two days before his ninth birthday. He was twenty-nine when the Korean War started and thirty-seven when Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. was assassinated. He was still in his thirties when Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon and forty-four when Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese. He was sixty-one when the Berlin Wall came down and had just turned seventy-one when the planes flew into the World Trade Center. He was eighty-nine-and-a-half when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
On the other hand we now have powerful evidence that our individual actions toward a collective goal can have an impact. While we have not fixed the pandemic, we have flattened our curve. While some complacency has set in and our numbers are rising, we can take pride in having done well, so far, to protect each other. And while we cannot similarly congratulate ourselves on great strides against racial injustice and economic inequality, Canadians have been mostly able to talk without violence and we have so-far avoided the intense polarization we are seeing in the US and the worst of the demagoguery we have witnessed around the world.
While all this history was being made around him, he and my mother, Jackie, made their own mark on the world. They have been married since 1973 and created a loving home for my sisters -- Anne Louise, Gail, Diane, and Donna -- and I. Angus owned and successfully operated a series of car dealerships in Kamloops between the early 1960’s and the early 2000’s. They now have ten grandchildren. They have travelled around the world and made many, many friends.
I choose to think that we can build momentum behind good works and collective will, and together work for a better future, not just to prevent the worst. In the face of uncertainty we can think deeply, and collectively, about what we want to do with our next six months, and the six after that. We need to acknowledge that we cannot predict or control the future, but we do control our individual actions and can direct our collective actions and thereby influence what comes next.
Of course, I am barely scratching the surface of the changes my father has seen and experienced over his time. The world is a very different place than it was nine months ago, much less ninety years. Through all of these changes there has been one constant in Dad’s life, at least since he became a father: his commitment to making things better for his children (and now his grandchildren) than they were for him. That is what his parents did for him and what he and my mother did for my sisters and I.
We can talk about what’s coming and try to agree -- as much as possible -- on what we want it to look like. I happen to think that there is room for agreement about where we want to be and that we are dedicated enough to one another to move together in the direction of a more resilient, healthier, and more just community.
He inspires me to try to do the same.
Inspired by my father, I am trying to do my part to have this conversation and I would like your help. I am writing a book which I call “What’s Next” about the possibility of planning for a better collective future with the tools that we now have at our disposal. I need your ideas. A conversation is better with more voices, and this conversation needs yours. Connect with me at www.whatisnext.page or www.facebook.com/iain.currie.79. Thank you,

A
s they imagine archa eological research, most people conjure mental images that come right out of National Geographic magazine — archae ologists painstakingly excavating artifacts left behind by some ancient and exotic culture. But archaeology is not so much a cohesive field of study focused on any one culture or time as it is a series of concepts and tools that allow for reasonable inferences to be made about human behav iour based on physical remains. As such, archaeol ogy is not limited to the study of ancient cultures — or even to the past. Consider the evolv ing archaeological study of modern gar bage. While archaeologists have always studied refuse, the formal archaeological study of recent trash — the messy, smelly, partly decayed mountains of household garbage and food waste we all con tribute to via our trash collection and landfill systems — is relatively new.

and 1980s, coined the term “garbology” for this subfield of archae ology. Rathje’s work began with the study of gar bage left for collection in curbside garbage cans in Tucson, Ariz. Rathje and his stu dents sorted, classified and quantified what the residents of Tucson were discarding. The bestknown results of this study pertain to alcohol con sumption. The analysis of household garbage indicated that the resi dents of Tucson con sumed substantially more alcohol than they were willing to admit to in questionnaires or in person interviews. This work also investigated the degree to which people waste
food and showed, counterintuitively, that in difficult economic times, people tend to waste more food. Rathje inferred that when money is tight, people tend to pur chase certain foods — particularly meat — in larger quantities when they find it on sale, only to fail to consume it all before its best before date, thereby resulting in an increase in wasted food. After this promis ing start, Rathje and his team turned their attention to garbage dumps themselves. They investigated more than a dozen of them across North America. They excavated deep test holes into garbage dumps, just as
one might excavate test units into any archaeo logical site. The archaeological investigation of garbage dumps allowed for the quantification of what kinds of trash predomi nate in landfills. Survey data showed that Americans com monly believed gar bage dumps to be dominated by fast food refuse, Styrofoam pack aging, and disposable diapers. Instead, the gar bologists found these items constitute a small fraction of the total volume of refuse in landfills — typically less than five per cent. Instead, landfills were found to be domi nated by plastic and paper garbage and industrial and con

struction debris, which accounted for more than threequarters of all garbage. These studies also revealed problems with how landfills are designed and operated. Garbage at landfills was typically crushed and compacted, then buried. The garbolo gists discovered that, as a result, items that were assumed to degrade in landfills — food waste and paper products in particular — were not degrading as anticipated. Decadesold news papers were still quite readable. Food waste was often surprisingly intact and recogniz able, despite the inter vening decades since it was discarded. These two sets of
observations about landfills yielded insights that have affected public policy and planning around how we manage the wastes we produce. Recycling programs have significantly reduced the amount of paper and plastic entering landfills. And modern land fills are designed to ensure that organic wastes do biodegrade and that the resulting gasses are properly and safely vented. Most archaeologi cal studies fail to affect public attitudes and perceptions or to inform public policy — in that regard, the work of the garbologists is an unqualified success. The work of Rathje and his colleagues has
been wellcovered in the mainstream press, including in articles in magazines like Time, The Atlantic and, yes, even National Geographic. Rathje’s excellent 2001 book, Rubbish: The Archaeology of Garbage, is available in bookstores. Simon Kaltenrieder is a Kamloops-based archaeologist. Interested in more?

T
eam Brown’s exploits last season make the Kamloops Curling Centre rink a worthy recipient of Curl BC’s 2020 Adult Team of the Year Award. Skip Corryn Brown, lead Ashley Klymchuk, second Dezaray Hawes and third Erin Pincott won the women’s provincial championship in February in Cranbrook, earning gold after finishing second and third in 2019 and 2018, respectively. The quartet, coached by Allison MacInnes, followed with an impressive debut at the national
championship in Moose Jaw, advancing to the Championship Pool and placing sixth with a 5-6 record. “It was really great to be recognized for all the hard work we put in last year,” Brown said. “We went really hard, curled a lot out of province. It’s a real honour to be recognized by Curl BC for what we did last year.” Brown, back-to-back champions of the B.C. Women’s Curling Tour, earned about $30,000 last season, about $11,000 more than its 2018-2019 total. The team finished the campaign eighth in Canadian Team Ranking System points, making it the No. 1 ranked B.C. rink in Canada.
“I think I speak for all of us when I say the B.C. Scotties was pretty incredible,” said Brown, whose squad was also Curl BC’s adult team of the year in 2018. “And finishing eighth in CTRS, a B.C. team hasn’t done that for years. It really proved we belong with those top-tier teams. “Getting that [national] Scotties necklace, it’s something we aspire to get when we are little kids, so that moment was like, ‘OK, we made it.’” The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on 2020-2021 curling schedules across the country. Two fall B.C. Women’s Curling Tour events — the Torchlight Brewing Classic in Trail and Prestige Hotels and Resorts Classic
in Vernon — have been cancelled, along with a pair of significant spiels in Alberta. No CTRS points will be handed out prior to Oct. 31, the system suspension announced on July 23. Brown’s first action of the season could come at its home-club tournament, the Kamloops Crown of Curling, which is slated to run from Oct. 23 to Oct. 25 at the KCC. “A lot of people will be willing to play even if it’s not worth [CTRS] points,” Brown said. “There is a very limited amount of opportunity to get any experience. We’re going to take any opportunity we can to play.” Money and Provincial Team Ranking System points will be up for grabs if the event takes place,
but the points will be of little concern to Team Brown. The Kamloops rink has already qualified for the 2021 B.C. Scotties based on its standing as defending champion. Both the men’s and women’s provincial curling championships are scheduled to run from Jan. 26 to Feb. 1 on the Olympic ice at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Kamloops product Jim Cotter, the 2020 B.C. men’s champion, has also qualified. The provincial men’s title winner will advance to the Tim Hortons Brier in Kelowna, while the women’s champ will secure a spot at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Thunder Bay.

Gerlof nabs masters kart title Erik Gerlof of Kamloops claimed gold in the rotax masters class on Sunday at the Western Canadian
Karting Championship in Warburg, Alta. Gerlof, driving his two-stroke BMW, finished the 18-lap race about two seconds ahead of his closest opponent. “He was faster than me all weekend, but in
the final I decided to beat him,” Gerlof said with a laugh. “It’s not a big deal. We’re the master class, 32 years and older. It’s the young guys that matter.” The kart Gerlof raced on Sunday
reached a maximum speed of about 120 kilometres per hour. “It was a good race, but I was struggling a little bit at first. I hadn’t raced the track before,” said Gerlof, who is president of the West Coast Kart Club
in Chilliwack. “You have to see how the turns go and how the lines are and how you have to set up your go-kart. It’s quite a bit of work.” There were five entrants in Gerlof’s division.

Cautious optimism as youth sports sector slowly reopens STEVE EWEN AND JJ ADAMS
THE PROVINCE
September is usually the time of year parents skip joyfully out the door, dropping their kids off at school following an endless summer filled with trips, activities and sports. It’s a carefree time, a brief respite from the chaos of juggling both children and work, a chance to slightly depressurize, breathe and relax. Not this year. The novel coronavirus outbreak continues to disrupt and derail. Children won’t be in class full time until Sept. 14. Masks and hand sanitizer will be packed in backpacks along with books, pencils, binders and lunches. And sports, the outlet for so many children with a surplus of energy and a need to socialize, are in just as much flux as schools. With the B.C. government’s announcement of the entry into Phase 3 on Monday, youth sports organizations across the province followed suit, but all with a wide degree of engagement, as the guidelines established by health authorities impact each sport in different ways. For example, physical distancing may be easy in tennis, but swimming doesn’t have the same luxury. Just like scientists’ knowledge of COVID-19, its transmission and long-term effects is limited, so too is how it will impact youth sports. Nobody predicted a spike in registration numbers when the lockdown was first eased, but several sports clubs locally reported just that, saying parents recognized how severe the absence of that socialization impacted children. But the worry over having children caught in a COVID19 outbreak hasn’t dissipated,

and parents should think carefully about what individual sport entails. Is it one that requires proximity indoors, like wrestling, or allows for physical distancing, like fastpitch? Is there adequate room for those not on the playing surface to wait? Is equipment shared? Are teams young or old? Big or small? Younger children can have problems following protocols, and bigger teams are harder to keep organized. “I know there’s enough stress right now, especially parents, with going back to school and all that,” said Jason Elligott, executive director of B.C. Soccer. “Soccer is an extracurricular activity and one that we hope people will look forward to, but we also don’t want it to be something they get anxiety over, either.”
Soccer is the province’s largest singular youth participation sport with more than 86,000 registered to play last year. It entered Phase 3 on Monday, with limited competition being allowed within a cohort of 50, starting on Sept. 7. But clearing that hurdle brings with it a new set of challenges. “We’re able to have more … ‘normal’ type soccer, because we can have contact with each other in training environments. It’s a positive in that regard, and I know people are really excited because there’s more normal type soccer happening, but I’m not going to say it’s going to be easy,” said Elligott. “And also, there’s not a massive inventory of soccer fields all over the place. Sometimes you go out and you could have to do two, three, six, small-sided games
on one field because spacing allows for it under normal circumstances. “But now, because of the limits, that can’t happen. So there’s going to be logistical stuff that the clubs and districts need to kind of work through, and it’s going to be challenging. But, again, since this is what we can do, let’s be positive and work within the parameters of what we have, because if we don’t, then soccer doesn’t happen.” School sports will begin when school starts, but no inter-school competition will be allowed and participation will be limited to 60-person cohorts in elementary and middle school and no more than 120 people in secondary school. Youth sports will adhere to a 50-person cohort. The cohort is a group of teams or athletes that only compete against each other, and must be from the same region, like a group of four, 12-person basketball teams and their coaches. A 14-day isolation period is mandated before changing cohorts. “The Education Restart Plan also notes that activities like inter-school competition will be re-evaluated in the mid-fall,” B.C. School Sports executive director Jordan Abney said in the release detailing the BCSS plan. “To that end, we are making every effort to present a case to the government to allow a modified school sport to return safely and responsibly based on the Return to School Sport work that has been prepared this summer. “We have also received a lot of questions from parents and (athletic directors) about the discrepancy between school sports and those happening already in the community. We understand the frustration and are communicating those to the government.”

I am an athlete born in California on September 3, 1986. Many may not know I had two open heart surgeries before the age of one. But that didn’t stop me from going on to be one of the most successful professional snowboarders of all time. I have earned more X-Game ANSWERS

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, someone from your past may come back into your life this week in a good way. Don’t be nervous about what he or she has to say. Everything will work out with the relationship.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have various options to consider at this time. Delay an important decision for a little while longer until you can narrow things down with a level head.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 An unexpected opportunity arrives this week, Gemini. It may be some good news you have been waiting for or it could be something you didn’t see coming. Embrace it.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, enjoy how your mood changes when you enjoy some different scenery this week. A change in your perspective is sparked by a visit to an idyllic place.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Once you make a decision this week you have to stick with it and see it through, Leo. It can be challenging waiting for results, but be patient. The outcome will be known soon.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A few things will be beyond your control this week, Virgo. However, you have many things that you can grab ahold of and make your own. Try a new creative project.
SEPTEMBER 2 - SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, even though you may be dishing out advice, others may not be inclined to take it. Don’t be offended by this. Not everyone is ready to make changes.
SCORPIO
- Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, sometimes you have to relinquish control and let others steer the boat. This may be a welcome relief because it lifts some pressure off of your shoulders.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Capricorn, once you establish your objective, you can plot out your plan. This approach can be applied to both big life changes or even smaller decisions.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you will attract more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. Consider your tone and delivery when speaking, tweaking things a bit if need be.
PISCES
Sagittarius, just when you thought it was a straight road ahead, life throws you a curveball. You’re good at adapting, so you shouldn’t have difficulties overcoming this challenge.
- Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, every day may not be an adventure, but you have a knack for making daily life exciting. Find ways to share your joy.

He is survived by his son Neil Baisi (Ottawa), grandsons both of Ottawa, Louis-Philippe (Julie Leger, great-granddaughters LaurenceMadeleine and Marie-Juliette), and Jean-Gabriel; sisters Loredana Chelini (Victoria, BC) and Maria (Ivo Gianpaoli, Porcari, Italy) and nieces in Western Canada. Elio finished primary school on the eve of WWII and began work with his tenant-farming family. In his late teens towards the end of the war was a casual civilian employee of a US army unit. On returning to his family, took an interest in amateur bicycle racing and rode his way to the initial tier of the semi-professional level. Then, seeing a Canadian immigration poster, took the leap. A common immigrant story, he arrived in Canada with nothing but not much in his pocket. Then, hard work, cutting sugar beets, then digging ditches at the emerging petrochemical complex in Sarnia. After, westward to Regina and success as a drywall subcontractor. After a number of years and a down turn in the Regina economy, moved further west to Kamloops and became a part of the expanding construction sector. In Kamloops he met Louise (nĂŠe Meadmore) whom he married in 1975, beginning a 44 year partnership. They built their house on the heights beyond the North Shore, overlooking the city and the confluence of the North and South Thompson. There they spent many hours terracing, landscaping and planting and then winning awards for their horticultural efforts. As longtime members of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club, they also pursued a passion for golf. Louise passed in January of 2019. Close neighbours noted a certain change in Elio thereafter. And we wonder, when his end was nigh, if he discarded his resolve to live, to join Louise.

Gary Dalziel Cutler
May 22, 1930 - August 23, 2020 Gary died peacefully in Royal Inland Hospital after a brief illness. Gary was extraordinarily proud of his entire family. He leaves Gwenn, his beloved wife of 34 years, his daughters, from his marriage to his former wife Lois, Leslie Thomas (Graham) and Laura Cutler. He cherished his grandchildren Jennifer Magnotti (Mike), Tara Manky, and Jordan Thomas. His great-grandchildren Sam and Charlotte Magnotti and Paige Manky were a source of delight to him. He is also survived by his older brother Keith (Dixie) and their family. Gary was born in West Vancouver and spent his boyhood immersed in the natural beauty and sporting activities that characterized the then small municipality. His lifelong love of both salt and freshwater fishing developed there. He had fond memories of his early life and remained a member of the West Vancouver Historical Society after the family moved to Kamloops. He hunted in his early years and was an avid fly fisher most of his life. As a charter member of the Kamloops Fly Fishers, he served that club and the Federation of Fly Fishers in many capacities. His idea of paradise was, a fly rod with a Hardy reel, a ripple on the water, and hungry trout. In addition to being gifted with a beautiful baritone voice, which he shared publicly as a young man, he was an accomplished leather crafter. His work was original and of high quality and anyone receiving a piece of it knew they had something very special. Gary had a number of jobs throughout his early working life before settling into his career in credit and finance for various industrial companies. He ended his career as the Southern Interior Finance Manager for Finning Ltd., a job he liked for a company he respected. Gary requested that there be no formal funeral at his passing. The family will gather when Covid 19 allows for a celebration of his long and productive life. The family is grateful for the compassionate and excellent care he received from his doctor Kraig Montalbetti, and the staff on 5-South. If friends so desire, please make a donation to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in his name.

Obituaries
Born on August 4, 1937, in Bienfait, Saskatchewan, Pauline passed away peacefully on August 13, 2020, age 83 with her husband by her side.
Grant was predeceased by his parents Ken and Peggy Dolson, uncle Doug Christie, and his father-in-law Scott Hutchinson. He will be profoundly missed by his wife Chris and their three children: Steven Dolson (Nicole), Caitlin MacLaughlin (Graham), and Alix Dolson. The lights of our lives, the four girlies: Charlie Dolson, Macey and Maggie MacLaughlin, and Sage Dolson, love their Grumpy...and he loved these girlies to the moon. Grant will also be missed by his brother Phil Dolson (Shannon) and sister Beth Schapansky (Brad) of Kamloops, and brother Greg Dolson of Halifax, along with many nephews and nieces and his aunts and uncles: Gail and Gunnar Slack, Rick and Marcia Christie, and Brenda Christie. Most of Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was lived in Kamloops. He family business, Dolsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Shop, when father Ken retired, Grant took the helm with After nearly forty years with Dolsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Source for Sports, Grant re-calibrated and the automotive business, the last several years spent happily at Zimmer-Wheaton.

Twenty-five years ago, when Chris got her wish to move back to Knutsford, Grant discovered new joys in riding a tractor and country living. Grant was also an avid and talented competitive Trap shooter. He got started in the sport as a way to curry favour with his future father-in-law, continuing for decades; excelling and making many great friends as he travelled to Trap events (and his father-in-law did love him for that too!). Love was in the air in the summer of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;74, and endured for 46 years. In mid-August of 2020, Grant and Chris celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. This last family occasion together with our bubble of seven was joyous and love-filled. Grant was so happy and so loved. While few might describe him as a gentleman - he never could convince his wife that farts are funny Grant was a man of honour and high principles. He loved and cherished his wife, children, and grands beyond measure. He was so proud of his kids and their accomplishments, and unconditionally supported their choices, even when he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite understand them. His love for us was constant and unwavering. Family was everything.
She is predeceased by her parents Joseph and Caroline, brother Edward. Pauline is survived by her loving family, husband Arnold, her steadfast partner of 63 years, children Joy, Carol (Dwayne) and Al; grandchildren Garrett (Lindsay) Brittany (Jason), Jack and Ella, great-grandchildren Kaison, Emmerson and Sloan - all of whom brought great pride and joy to her life; sisters Rosemarie, Lucy, brother Ron, and their families as well as many nieces and nephews who she was very fond of. Pauline was very involved in the communities of Birch Island and Clearwater, BC. for more than 50 years. She was a tireless worker for her fellow citizen, never taking no for an answer when requesting help from various community partners for the greater good of all. Actively participating in numerous committees, including the Birch Island and Clearwater Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auxiliary (Institute), Clearwater United Church and she was a founding member of the Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She was a long-time volunteer co-coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society and served as a school trustee in the 1980s. In recognition of her long-standing volunteer work and service to her community, Pauline was the recipient of the Clearwater and District Chamber of Commerce (Rotary) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Citizen of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and was later awarded the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silver Jubilee Medal in 2012. An avid gardener, Pauline was also a talent in the kitchen whether it was baking bread, the traditional Ukrainian staples or a holiday dinner with family and friends at the table. She was also well known for her potato doughnuts, a big seller at community events. Anyone was always welcome at the Gregory house and the kitchen was always open. A providing wife, mother and grandmother, family was extremely important to Pauline. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her but fondly remembered for her contribution to community and the importance that she placed on family and friends.
Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loved ones will gather privately, to share and laugh together in their memories of this remarkable man. In lieu of flowers, friends can make a donation to the Camp Grafton Society, an organization loved by the people who were most precious to Grant.

Peter Henry Giesbrecht
He was born in Spirit River, Alberta (to Abe and Marie Giesbrecht) March 14, 1934. In 1967, he moved to Salmon Arm, BC, and later settled in Kamloops. Peter operated heavy construction equipment for many years. He assisted in the building of the W.A.C. Bennett, Mica, and Revelstoke dams, and a number of large road building projects (including the Coquihalla Highway). Later in life, Peter opened his own business (Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Custom Upholstery in Salmon Arm). In his retiring years, he had both rabbit and worm farms that occupied his time. Peter is survived by his loving wife Beth and their five children, nineteen grandchildren, and twenty-one great-grandchildren. Peter and Beth married in 1962, and had a wonderful 58 years together. They had their first son the same year, which carried on to a large and loving family. The family would like to thank Pine Grove Care Centre for their care and kindness in his final weeks. There will be no service by request, and in lieu of flowers, please donate to your favourite charity.

1929 - 2020
On August 27, 2020, Betty Chizue Hirowatari (nĂŠe Morishita) passed away peacefully at the age of 90 years, surrounded by her family. She was born on November 30, 1929 in Steveston, BC where she lived with her five siblings. During the war, she was interned to Taber, Alberta, where she worked with her family in the sugar beet fields. After the war, they returned to Steveston where mom worked in the cannery for ten years and became involved with the Buddhist Church as a Dharma School teacher. Mom married dad (Charles Satoru) in 1958 and moved to Kamloops, BC. She raised three children: Charlene (Terry), (grandchildren Erik and Ellen); Lyle; Ryan (Wendy). Mom leaves a legacy of hard work from numerous jobs, as well as running their own convenience store (McMorranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery) for 17 years. Upon retiring and building their home in Westsyde she helped raise her grandchildren who lovingly referred to her as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gummy.â&#x20AC;? Mom enjoyed many years of gardening, volunteering, sewing, baking, crocheting, and knitting. She led a humble life with respect and compassion. When dad passed, mom led an active life until she moved into an extended care facility. Our family extends gratitude to the nurses, care aids, rehab staff, all the support staff and administration of Ridgeview Lodge. Special thanks to Dr. Andrew Wynne for the exceptional care given to mom during her time there. Also, thank you to Reverend Yasuhiro Miyakawa (Kamloops Buddhist Church) for your many inspirational visits with our mom. She found much solace in them. In lieu of flowers or koden, please consider donations to the Kamloops Buddhist Church.
In Gassho â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gummyâ&#x20AC;? you will be in our hearts foreverâ&#x20AC;?

Mary Patricia Hartford
Pat was born on September 24, 1946 in Athabasca, Alberta. She is survived by her loving husband Fred Hartford and her beloved daughters and son, Wendy (Bruce), Cindy, Liza (Rollie), Patty and Calvin (Veronica) and step-children Stuart (Linda) and Billie. She is also survived by her sisters; Barb, Loretta and Brenda (Roy). She leaves behind many beautiful grandchildren and great grandchildren, all whom loved and adored their grandma (mymom) as she adored them. Pat was more than our mom, wife, grandma and aunt, she was also our very best friend. We were so very privileged to have her for a wife and mom. Pat is predeceased by her parents Eddy and Lucy Fayant and brother Paul Fayant. Mom was brought to the hospital via ambulance, upon arriving the nurse asked her who brought her there and she responded her “mom and dad.” There is absolutely no doubt in our minds that they were there to comfort and prepare mom to take her home. From the time she was a little girl, Pat had a deep sense of caring for others. This quality would take her into a nursing career where she touched the lives of many people and her patients. In her retirement, she spent much of her time as President of the Metis Association helping others. She is also a very respected Metis Elder in our community. She was proud of her heritage and shared many stories with us about growing up in our culture. Mom was so gentle and soft around the edges. However, she was also a very strong and independent woman who raised her children on her own and showed each of us how to love and respect others. We all admire the woman she was and now the woman that will live in our hearts forever. Pat absolutely loved the outdoors, she was happiest when in nature with her family. As children, we spent the majority of our summers camping with our family. She loved to walk along the shore and look for unique rocks with her grandchildren. Another favourite activiity of hers was fishing, especially with her husband Fred and brother Paul. We imagine that the siblings are somewhere fishing together on a boat once again enjoying the great outdoors. We’d like to acknowledge our sister Liza for providing mom with the nursing care she needed in her last days at home. Thank you for following our Mother’s footsteps so that you could be there for mom as she transitioned from this world into the next. We’d also like to thank our wonderful step-father Fred for the love and support he showed us and our mom throughout the years. They met in 1993 and married on August 31,1996. Mom’s beautiful smile lit up the room as she glowed on that very special day. Their love has provided so many precious memories for our family.
Mom, thank you for raising us in your loving and caring arms. The warmth and tenderness you showed us will never ever be forgotten. We will forever miss you and love you so much. You are everything to us Mom. As we try to untangle and go through this overwhelming grief, we know you are by our sides and will continue to guide us. Our journey is profoundly harder without you. The strength and determination you embodied lives within and that will carry us for the rest of our days. You are now our sunsets; we can end our day knowing you are at peace. We are now your sunrises; we will honour your life by living ours.
Until we meet again Mom. We love you. Thank you very much to the staff at RIH who made it possible for bringing mom home. Also, thank you very much to the wonderful RCAs and Nurses with Home Care who took such beautiful care of our mom. We could never had done it without the support and care of everyone involved. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Nikolai (Kole) Gabriel Schmidt August 23, 1991 - August 12, 2020
It is with heavy hearts we share that on August 12, 2020 Kole passed away suddenly.
She was a wonderful, supportive step-mum to Kate and Ann McMillan, who will greatly miss her as will her cousin Lil Wray, her other many relatives in Kamloops and her friends at Chartwell.
His beautiful smile and his contagious laugh will be missed by his parents Larry and Val Schmidt, his siblings Chrystal (Shaun) Cound, Sarah Hoknes, Kurtis (Ashley) Schmidt and Ksenya Schmidt. He will also be missed by his two nieces Racheal and Madison and seven nephews Ethan, Jeykeb, Kohen, Carsen, Lincoln, Lucas and Michael. He also left behind his grandparents Dennis and Verla Zinger, Glady Green, and many aunts, uncles and cousins who played an important part in his life.
Joanie loved her Bill’s - Bill MacKenzie and Bill Green along with her Scottie dogs Max & Geordie.
Kole was predeceased by his Grandpa Frank Schmidt.
She will be in our hearts forever. There will be a small private service in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Wednesday, September 9, 2020 with the hope of a celebration the summer of 2021 where she will be interred at Pleasant Street Cemetery between her husband Gordon, and John McMillan, the first McMillan from Scotland who died in July 1910.
Kole was born in Perm, Russia, and became part of our family at the age of six. His passion for life showed in the way he: treated people kind, considerate, never judgmental; played sports - full throttle; worked - hard, steady, no complaining. He loved to be on a lake fishing, and spending time with his family and friends.
Should friends desire, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home who were so kind would be appreciated in her memory.
Kole was a huge blessing we had for too short a time and is now with his Heavenly Father.

She started her 37 year career with CP Rail as young woman, retired in June of 1979 when she married Gordon Daniel McMillan who she met as he was researching the McMillan family tree. He identified Joanie as a cousin and immediately put her to work tracking down other McMillans. It was a wonderful loving partnership and a life changer for Joanie as they spent spring and fall in Mobuck, Alberta, summers in Scotch Creek then Chase, BC and winters in Lake Havasu, Arizona with Bill and Vi McMIllan.

Jean Milton It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Jean Milton (née Fraser) on August 21, 2020. Jean was predeceased by her husband Jack Milton, sister Glenys Pritchett, brother-in-law Cal Pritchett and sister-in-law Ann Boyd. She leaves behind her four children: Sharon Waldern (Trent), Allan Milton (Cheryl), Laurie Baldwin (Doug) and Leann Milton; nine grandchildren: Alison Gregory (Myles), Lindsay Milton, Shyla Waldern, Ian Waldern, Ainsley Shymko (Adam), Alecia Baldwin, Lieren Milton-Wood (Brandon McDivitt), Connor Milton-Wood (Kate Proznick) and Leith Milton-Wood; and five great-grandchildren: Keegan, Riley and Dorren Gregory and Jordyn and Brooklyn Shymko. Jean also leaves behind her brother Allan Fraser (Diane) and brother-in-law Bob Boyd, in addition to all her nieces, nephews and cousins. Jean was a lifelong resident of Kamloops and married Jack Milton in 1954. Over the next ten years their family grew to include four children. While maintaining a household of four busy children, Mom always found time to be involved in all our activities throughout the years, even after she went to work for J. Milton Ltd. She could always be found cheering us on at the countless sporting events and other activities. Mom always encouraged and supported us to work and develop our own unique skills and continued the tradition with all of her grandchildren. Mom taught us that whatever we committed to, we followed through with and completed. She was sharp with a quick wit and a great sense of humour, and could always be counted on for a laugh. Grandma never missed a thing, she truly did have eyes in the back of her head. Jean loved spending time at the cabin on Little Shuswap Lake, whether it was a quiet weekend with just her and Jack, a house full of all the kids’ friends or one of the many family reunions. She also enjoyed knitting, creating keepsakes for family members, and in her later years became involved in a wide variety of different crafts which she thoroughly enjoyed. Mom will be remembered most of all for her generosity and delicious family meals (with a few notable failures). Our home and cabin were always open to family and friends whom she embraced, welcomed and ensured never left hungry. Jean/Mom/Grandma was a force to be reckoned with and she leaves behind a void that will never be filled. Our heartfelt thanks go to her youngest daughter Leann, and to Allan and Diane Fraser for all the help and support they gave to Mom over the years. Thanks also to her doctors, Dr. Brenda Laupland, Dr. Nair and Dr. Navratil. An additional thank you to the nursing staff at Kamloops Seniors Village and the staff of Pine Grove Care Centre for helping make Mom’s last few months brighter and happier. A celebration of life to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the RIH Foundation. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers
Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.
But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

Canada’s unions call for a disaster-proof plan
I
n Kamloops and area, workers unions and others will gather online to celebrate the contributions of working people and to launch a campaign called Moving Forward. The annual Kamloops and District Labour Day picnic has been cancelled this year due to the pandemic-related provincial restrictions for gatherings. The labour council has organized an online event, where the public can view messages and participate in a scavenger hunt and/or trivia contest. There will be chances to enter for prizes to help support local businesses and economy in the Kamloops region.
To take part on Labour Day — Monday, Sept. 7 — go online to kdlc.ca. “Many people in our communities are deeply worried about the future,” Kamloops and District Labour Council president Lois Rugg said. “The federal government can help alleviate the anxiety by committing to investing in good, stable jobs.” Rugg said Canada’s unions maintain that workers are key to the recovery, with the health, safety and wellbeing of their families being paramount. “There is a lot of worry about how workers can return to work with fewer child-care spaces available and fears about the return to school,” Rugg said.
Over 1,400 members in many industries including Sawmilling, Wood products manufacturing, Steel manufacturing, Recycling, Security, Trucking, Construction, Machining and more.

“Now, more than ever, we need a national strategy to deliver child care that is accessible to everyone. We need to ensure that for-profit long-term care becomes a relic of the past and that workers needing sick leave don’t worry about taking a day off when they need it.” The Kamloops and District Labour Council consists of the elected representatives of about 13,000 unionized workers in the Kamloops area, from Merritt to Valemount and from Chase to Lillooet. The Kamloops and District Labour Council is a member of the BC Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress, the latter of which represents more than three-million unionized Canadians.
Happy Labour Day from the Kamloops and District Labour Council.

A LITTLE LABOUR DAY READING FOR THE RESTING WORKER KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Rod Mickleburgh marvels at one of the many surprises he found when he researched his book On the Line: A History of the British Columbia Labour Movement, which was published two years ago. Back in the day, when the province was seeing many strikes largely in the industrial sectors— “those historic struggles,” he said — they were all lost by labour. “Unions didn’t win any major strikes back then,” the longtime labour reporter said. There were no legal protections and employers would react to a strike by hiring private security, bringing in police and the militia, recruiting strike breakers and firing everyone walking a picket line. Mickleburgh, a labour reporter at the Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province and a senior writer for the Globe and Mail before he retired, pointed
to a strike by coal miners on Vancouver Island. It was one of the longest in the province, running from 1912 to 1914. “And, in the end, the strike was lost and they never worked again,” Mickleburgh said. It wasn’t until the Second World War, and the need for workers, that the federal and provincial governments started to pass laws compelling employers to recognize unions and bargain contracts with them. “It’s so inspiring, those workers. They kept fighting them and those employers were really ruthless, those great captains of industry,” Mickleburgh said. Another thread in the labour movement history of B.C. that Mickleburgh said he was unaware of — and wishes more people knew about — is the role the First Nations played in the economy of the province in the 1880s. They were the workers in the mines, in logging camps, on the
docks, in canneries, in farming, in sawmills, as guides — all those sectors key to building the province’s economy. “They were glad to work for wages,” Mickleburgh said. “And that myth they don’t like to work, that they’re just lazy, it’s just absurd.” While Mickleburgh found the workers then benefitted from their employment and were able to buy better clothes, tools and houses, he noted that does not minimize “the terrible things” happening to them. Residential schools, he added, operated in the 20th century. Mickleburgh was commissioned by the B.C. Labour Heritage Centre to write the book. It’s big — there are more than 200 photographs — and it covers about 150 years of the movement, documenting how it influenced the province’s economic, political and social fabric. Order it from Chapters or independent bookstores.

gender pay gap when compared to unionized men. In other words, unions help women overcome the effects of gender discrimination in the workplace. This “union advantage’’ is even greater for women who are affected by other forms of systemic discrimination. Despite becoming numerically dominant within unions, women are still under-represented in positions of union leadership. The number of women leading national unions in Canada today can be counted on one hand. And women currently lead only three of the country’s provincial and territorial federations of labour. GLASS CEILING PERSISTS The under-representation of women in positions of leadership is not unique to the labour movement.
We see similar imbalances in corporate and political spheres. Although unions are doing better than Canada’s corporate sector, organized labour still has a long way to go when it comes to fully shattering the glass ceiling for women. The glass ceiling is an often-used metaphor that refers to an invisible barrier that prevents women and other equity-seeking groups, regardless of their skills or qualifications, from advancing into leadership positions within organizations. While in theory, nothing prevents a woman from being elected to a top leadership position, the glass ceiling represents the subtle ways that organizations devalue and doubt women’s leadership skills based on gender stereotypes.

Females have had an impact on labour movement From B4
Despite these barriers, women have periodically risen to top leadership positions within individual public sector unions or labour federations over the year. But securing positions of leadership within unions has been a long, hard-fought struggle for women workers. And even while being severely underrepresented in positions of leadership, union women have undeniably had an impact. Their activism paved the way for the labour movement to campaign for and secure pay equity, employer-paid day care, paid maternity leave and rules banning gender-based discrimination in the workplace. Unions could do much more to fight gender discrimination by having more women in senior leadership positions. PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS ARE TRAILBLAZERS
Postal Workers. And in November 2019, Patty Coates of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation became the first woman to lead the Ontario Federation of Labour.
Not surprisingly, public sector unions, where women have always been most concentrated, were the first to see women elected to significant leadership roles. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) elected Grace Hartman as its national president in 1975. She was the first woman to lead a national union in North America. In 1986, CUPE’s Shirley Carr was the first woman elected to the presidency of the Canadian Labour
Congress, Canada’s largest labour umbrella organization. Public sector unions continue to be trailblazers. In November 2014, Irene Lazinger of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was the first woman elected to the presidency of the B.C. Federation of Labour. In May 2019, Jan Simpson became the first black woman to lead a national union in Canada when she was elected president of the Canadian Union of
PRIVATE SECTOR UNIONS LAG In contrast, a woman has yet to be elected to the presidency of any major private sector union in Canada. However, there are signs that a long overdue breakthrough may be in the works. Some private sector unions have redesigned their leadership structures to help women break the glass ceiling within their own ranks. In 2013, Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union, adopted an executive structure that guarantees the number of women on the union’s executive board be at least equal the proportion of women in the union overall. In 2017, the Canadian section of the United
Food and Commercial Workers Union achieved equal representation of women and men on its national executive board for the first time after delegates to the union’s convention adopted a resolution mandating the expansion of women’s representation. TWO WOMEN VYING FOR TOP UNION JOB Later this year, two women — Bea Bruske of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and Linda Silas of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions — are expected to compete for the presidency of the Canadian Labour Congress. It will be the first
election in the history of the congress where both major contenders are women. WHY DOES GENDER REPRESENTATION MATTER NOW, MORE THAN EVER? So many of the issues we now face because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting disruptions in work, home and school are borne by women. Racialized and poor women are even more at risk of COVID-19 exposure because of the service and care work they do and the lack of choices they have to engage in social distancing. More than ever, we need a gendered and
equity lens in leadership to understand how the pandemic is being experienced differently, and how union responses can protect those who are most vulnerable. Unions must continue to enhance efforts to recruit and sustain a critical mass of women, particularly visible minority and LBGTQ women, into leadership roles in the years to come. These efforts cannot be mere tokenism. Rather, they must reflect a commitment to ensuring that the changing face of Canada’s unionized workers is reflected in the leadership of the union movement.
