A POSITIVE TEST — NOW WHAT? MICHAEL POTESTIO

ith the first known cases of COVID-19 being reported in a Kamloops school and long-term care home this week, Interior Health is explaining the steps taken when cases occur in these settings. A student or staff member at NorKam senior secondary and a care-aide at The Hamlets longterm care home and assisted-living facility in Westsyde each tested positive for COVID-19, with IH noting the school exposure occurred on Nov. 6. The care-aide has been off since Nov. 9. The health authority implemented additional infection control and preventive measures at The Hamlets, while at NorKam, close contacts of the infected per-

son are being told to self-isolate. IH has been conducting contact tracing in both instances, which is where its protocols for addressing each type of institution begins. CONTACT TRACING Kamloops-based medical health officer Carol Fenton said laboratories will flag positive cases that arise in students or people who work at care homes and schools, leading to phone calls to the infected from public health. “We ask them a series of questions around when their symptoms started, what their symptoms were and, using that information, we determine the period [of time] they are infectious,” Fenton said. That period is defined as two days before to 10 days after symptoms began. Once that timeline is established, public health will determine every place that person has been and every individual he or she was

in contact with during those 12 days. “That’s the basic contact tracing process. That happens with all of our cases,” Fenton said. While there have been some delays in the process due to volume, test results and contact tracing investigations for health-care workers, students and school staff are given priority. When it comes to determining where a person contracted the virus, Fenton said due to the 14-day incubation period of COVID-19, it can be difficult to pinpoint. SCHOOLS If a student or staff member was at school during their infectious period, IH contacts the district, which can supply class layouts, timetables and class lists to determine who was possibly exposed. See TRACING, A11

An injection of provincial cash into city coffers will prevent significant service cuts in 2021, while taxpayers are facing a provisional tax rate increase of just less than a half a per cent, the lowest in recent memory. “I think this would be the lowest tax increase that we’ve experienced in over a decade,” Mayor Ken Christian said. “But we are facing some challenges that we have not seen in this decade, in fact, this century.” On Tuesday, city council participated in the first of many budget meetings, at which corporate services director Kathy Humphrey detailed $6.7 million the city is anticipating in COVID-19 Safe Restart funding to local governments. Humphrey told KTW the city found out about the provincial funding in early November. The city anticipated some sort of pandemic relief, but the amount and way in which it would be allotted was unknown, with Humphrey noting she anticipated grants on an application basis. Instead, the funding is a one-time cash injection distributed to municipalities based on a modified per capita basis, with the city’s understanding the money can be used as needed. Details are yet to come. Staff are proposing to use some of the funds to offset anticipated

revenue losses and added expenses in 2021 resulting from the pandemic and put the rest aside for yet unknown future needs. Christian said the funding is welcome and will act as a safety valve. “The impacts of COVID-19, we’re not done with them,” Christian said. “In fact, we may well be just seeing the beginning of what could be some significant impacts going into 2021, so I think leaving that cushion is a very prudent thing.” The city anticipates $2.8 million in lost revenues next year from recreation user fees, facility rentals, parking and more. In addition, it is facing $400,000 in added costs for increased maintenance to nature parks, safety equipment and facility and technology rental. The impact to property taxes from the total $3.2 million in lost revenues and added costs would be 2.7 per cent — which is about what the city’s annual tax increase has been in recent years. Prior to learning of the provincial money, the city had been mulling significant service cuts in 2021, including a reduction in hours at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, which is no longer being considered. “We were proposing service level reductions in all sorts of areas,” Humphrey told KTW, noting reduced hours in facilities, keeping arenas closed and reducing snow clearing. “Everything was on the table.” See COUNCIL, A6

The Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism strives to provide educational, therapeutic, life skills and family support services for those with autism spectrum disorder. This year, the centre will be assisted in that work by donations to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund, as the centre is one of five charities selected to be part of the fund this season. “We’re ecstatic to have this opportunity, particularly with COVID and the uncertainty around the ability to fundraise and projects that we’ve done in the past that we can’t really do,” said Wanda Eddy, executive director of the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism. Though the centre applied to be a part of the Cheer Fund before the pandemic began, Eddy said there is now extra value to being included because of the struggles experienced had this year with attempts at traditional fundraising. Though some of the parent-driven endeavours — such as coffee and

meat sales — were successful despite COVID-19, many others had to be shelved for this year, including the annual golf tournament, walk and barbecue. “Most agencies have faithful people that support them,” Eddy said. “We’re a relatively small organization. Although we’ve made big impacts, we’re not like some agencies where some people know us and benefit from us each year. “This allows us to reach out to people that wouldn’t typically know to support our agency.” For school-based programs, children attend the centre in place of going to a typical school, or they attend the centre part-time during the week, with the remainder of their time being spent in their home school. The centre also has an extended autism program for children ages six to 18 who meet the criteria for funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development through the autism funding program. The summer program is a recreational-based curriculum developed for children with autism that includes

activities like swimming, hiking, day trips, crafts and cooking. The centre also offers an adult program that address the needs of people with autism spectrum disorder who are 19 years of age and older and who clients of Community Living British Columbia. Eddy said the team at the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism is “incredibly grateful” for all the support received from the community in the years since it opened in 1989. “We really have survived because of the people in Kamloops,” she said. The centre was named after Chris Rose, an educator for 50 years whose greatest focus has been to support those with special needs. Rose founded the Chris Rose Foundation, which has continued to be instrumental in raising funds for the centre. Autism affects about one in every 68 children. Studies also show that autism is four to five times more common among boys than girls. For more information on the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism, go online to chrisrosecentre.org.

Charities being supported this year: Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Kamloops Brain Injury Association, Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism, Kamloops Therapeutic Association and New Beginnings Stroke Recovery. To donate, go online to kamloops thisweek. com/cheer. Donations are accepted online thanks to the generous partnership of the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo, which will also administer tax receipts to all donors.

If council chooses to move ahead with that offset, the city could still set aside $3.5 million in pandemic aid for the future, which is recommended by staff. Humphrey told KTW the city does not know what kinds of provincial health orders may come into effect or what additional impacts of the pandemic may yet be experienced.. It is unclear whether the province would claw back money should the funding not be used and a vaccine became widely accessible, following recent news that two vaccines have shows promising results. Humphrey added that the city already stomached pandemic costs in 2020. Meanwhile, independent of the pandemic, the city still faces ordinary budget additions worth $4.9 million, including annual wage increases set out in contracts ($1.9 million in 2021), technological upgrades ($870,000), asset-management funding and increased policing costs. The city is also facing $252,000 in costs to secure public washrooms and spaces next

year and $200,000 to upgrade rail crossings at Third Avenue and Singh Street, as a result of the rail expansion in Kamloops. During Tuesday’s discussion, there was also talk of possibly using some of the money to fund a patio-expansion program. The city is looking to fund some of the expenses from reserves. Some of it is offset by administrative budget reductions, such as events, training and travel not occurring during the pandemic. At the end of the day, the city is looking at a provisional tax hike of just shy of a half per cent. Council in the summer had asked staff to keep next year’s tax rate as close to zero per cent as possible, given the financial strain on residents during the pandemic. Therefore, staff also provided a series of additional cuts to be deliberated by council at a future date. These include reducing service at the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre or closing it entirely for 2021, which would save the city between $200,000 to $600,000, depending on the scenario, but which has been

contested by residents in that area. The fate of the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre has been a lightning rod for controversy over the years. On Tuesday, Coun. Arjun Singh stressed the importance of providing residents with a sense of normalcy during trying times, telling council he is not in favour of cutting recreational services during the pandemic. Other cuts (and savings to be realized) proposed include reducing and increasing the temperature in civic facilities during winter and summer by one degree Celsius ($200,000), reduction in use of Memorial Arena ($220,000) and eliminating city street light inspections ($20,000). Supplemental budget items deferred from 2020 will go to council in 2021 and a list of new items may also be on the agenda at a future budget meeting. Council meets again next week to talk about the budget. If the public wants to weigh in, they will need to do so online on the city’s Let’s Talk page. The final tax rates will be set in the spring of 2021.

BIG NEWS for BIG Bear Child & Youth Advocacy Centre!

Now we are proud to announce that we are in Phase 2; working on a 2-3 year plan to build a Big Bear Centre of Excellence in Kamloops so the team can work together more effectively under one roof. There is an urgent need for a temporary location in the meantime. We are very excited that Big Bear has secured a temporary central location to offer children and youth services in a timely manner and we anticipate a move in date early in the New Year. This means that children, youth and their families will be able to go to the one child-friendly and culturally safe location that will make support the top priority. BIG BEAR AWARENESS/FUNDRAISING WEEK aims to spread awareness about this wonderful development and gain funding that will help towards renovations and operations in Big Bear’s new space! This year we have both Nourishing Gourmet and Columbo Lodge involved

where proceeds go to Big Bear CYAC! Nourishing Gourmet is doing “TAKE & BAKE” dinners where you can order between Nov 23-25 and pick up on the 27th. Columbo Lodge is doing Pasta & Meatball take out dinners on Nov 25th and members from the Kamloops Firefighters Union will bring them to your car when you go to pick them up! On Nov 27th, the City of Kamloops and Kamloops Firefighter Union will be helping us again to light up St. Andrew’s on the Square with hundreds of white lights and a bright star will go on top of the large tree. These lights are for our children and youth and demonstrate a community working together. Unfortunately, due to our current pandemic situation, this will not be a gathering event, but these BRIGHT LIGHTS FOR OUR CHILDREN & YOUTH will shine for the entire winter season. Please join us in creating awareness about Big Bear CYAC. Support us through your orders with Nourishing Gourmet and/or Columbo Lodge and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and our website at www.bigbearcyac.ca for more information on how to order the take out dinners and to learn more about making further donations.

DON’T LET FEAR MASK THE LOGIC

et’s talk about masks, since it seems everyone else is doing likewise. On the opposite page is a letter from a retired Kamloops doctor, urging Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry to mandate mask use in indoor public places. A similar letter ran last week and calls for a provincewide mask mandate seem to be growing alongside the COVID-19 case count. Henry, however, has noted other jurisdictions with mask mandates have not seen a corresponding decline in case numbers, arguing a de facto mask mandate exists via many businesses incorporating the requirement among their pandemic safety plans. While it is a good idea to wear a mask when in an indoor public building where there are a large number of people and it is difficult to stay six feet from others, we must remember that Henry and other health experts have constantly reminded us that wearing a mask is but one of a number of measures we need to take to protect us from COVID-19. Keeping our distance from others (at least six feet) and washing our hands are two other crucial practices — and both are more important than wearing a mask. Henry has consistently reminded people to wear a mask “when you cannot physical distance from others.” That would mean donning a face covering when entering a busy supermarket, but let’s cease with the shaming of a maskless person who zips into a virtually empty coffee shop to order a java to go. There are plenty of situations in public buildings in which it is not essential that masks be worn. If one can steer well clear of others’ mouths and noses, not linger for a long time and take care to wash one’s hands after leaving, forgoing a mask can be safe and should not be the object of condemnation. The vast majority of new COVID-19 cases are originating from gatherings in private homes, where masks are not worn, not from businesses where the majority of customers are indeed wearing face coverings.

Along with science and photography, Gordon Gore dabbled in editorial cartoons.

Gore was picture-perfect

wonder if Oscar, Oprah, Ozzie and Olga will notice that the man in the wheelchair with the camera is no longer visiting. I wonder if those magnificent ospreys who return every spring to rebuild their nests at The Dunes at Westsyde Golf Course will feel something is missing. I know I will. I know I do. Gordon Gore died on Remembrance Day. The 82-yearold was a legend in Kamloops, having founded the Big Little Science Centre and taught countless kids that science can be magical, not mere drudgery. In his retirement, as he lived at The Hamlets in Westsyde, Gore amped up his photography skills, sending me numerous shots — mostly of wildlife, but also of other subjects — all impressive and some jaw-dropping magnificent. He also sent me photos he took in 1986 of the Royal visit to Kamloops by Charles and Diana. And, he could also be a photojournalist, sending me a photo of a broken window at the government liquor store across from The Hamlets, the result of a burglary. “Unofficially, at least one person was caught, but I’ll leave the details to the police or the manager of the store,” my reporter on the scene imparted before adding, “That is one expensive window they broke!” I only met Gore in person a time or two more than a decade ago, when my kids were still kids and we would often visit the science centre. He would not have remembered those meetings, but I do — clearly. When he approached my son to show him the finer points of a science experiment, Gore was the giddy one. In recent years, we connected by email, mostly Gore sending me those fantastic photos and me asking a question or two about how they were taken and how he was doing.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Occasionally, Gore would fire off an email in response to something I had written in my regular column. After I had penned a column decrying the semester system and calling for year-round school because we no longer needed the lads and lasses to bring in the harvest, Gore was quick to email me and concur. He said he had long called for similar changes while teaching but could never get through to the powers-that-be. He was also an amateur editorial cartoonist who shared my loathing of U.S. President Donald Trump, as can be seen in his sketch above. When the pandemic arrived, among those hardest hit were and are residents in long-term care homes and assisted-living facilities — people like Gore. The decision by health and government officials to shield seniors from the novel coronavirus was to separate them from their families and not allow visitors. Only recently were those rules relaxed, but not by much. While the reason for the lockdown was understandable from a health perspective, there have been many stories testifying to the lockdown’s severe impact on the mental and emotional health of those mother and fathers, grandmothers

and grandfathers denied the luxury of touching a loved one. The novel coronavirus is dangerous, especially to the elderly and people not in great health. But isolation is also dangerous, which is something Gore knew personally. On June 20, about three months into the pandemic/lockdown, Gore emailed me a letter he wanted to send to the health authorities, pleading with them to ease the restrictions so he could at least power up his wheelchair and visit his osprey friends. “All I want to do is go for a ride in the fresh air with my camera and share photos of what the real world outside this building is like with other residents who are unable to experience what I can see with my camera,” Gore said in his letter. “I appreciate your efforts to save me from the virus, but loneliness, lack of purpose and boredom kill, too. Please let us have a life.” I was happy to hear that, later in the summer, Gore was indeed able to roll out of the doors at The Hamlets and to The Dunes and points in between, documenting life in Westsyde. But, as he noted, it still wasn’t the same. Gordon Gore was not a young man when he died — he and my dad were born in the same year, 1937, with Gore surviving eight years longer — and death is, of course, natural. I just hope getting out with his beloved camera in the past couple of months helped somewhat with the loneliness and boredom the pandemic wrought. I am certain his birds will fly a little freer today, in honour of the man who detested being caged.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THANK TO ALL FROM THE LEGION Editor: Remembrance Day 2020, like no other, took place successfully at the Battle Street Cenotaph thanks to many organizations and individuals working together. The focus this year was to hold a restricted ceremony, organized “By Veterans, For Veterans” and, on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52, we are grateful for the assistance provided by the City of Kamloops, Lee’s Music, the ANAVETS, the Rocky Mountain Rangers, the RCMP, CFJC-TV and other media outlets. Through the help of the media, we were able to spread the news and our request to the community to stay home and watch the ceremony online. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone in the Kamloops area for respecting our request to keep the ceremony primarily for veterans. As well, the Poppy Campaign was held under unusual circumstances. Poppy tables were located around the city and, for the most part, the campaign proceeded in its normal fashion. Again, the Kamloops community has shown its overwhelming support for veterans through generosity and spirit. Thank you to everyone who gave their support to veterans through contributions to the Poppy Campaign, whether it was purchasing a wreath, sending in a donation or dropping change into a poppy box. Every donation is meaningful. Finally, to the numerous Legion members who donated many hours of their time, sitting at poppy tables or working at the Poppy Office, we thank you. No campaign like this would succeed without many dedicated volunteers. Thank you, Kamloops. Daniel Martin president Kamloops Legion

MASK MANDATE NEEDED IN B.C. Editor: Actually, this is a letter to Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. Of course, the likelihood of her reading it in Kamloops This Week is nil — exactly the same as if it were sent to her at via the Ministry of Health. But what the heck. I must admit to a lot of frustration with what I feel is a mild, hand-wringing, milquetoasty, admonishing, namby-pamby, reactive rather than proactive approach by her on her daily briefings dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in B.C. The Ministry of Health, through her, obviously wants the populace to listen up and to act according to her “recommendations” and, lately, her “expectations.” As most of us know, her exhortations have the same motivating effect as that of our parents asking us to tidy our rooms or take out the garbage when we were teen-

agers — weak to zilch compliance at best. I’ve encountered this apathetic response over and over again in restaurants and retail outlets when I ask management why they and their staff are bare-faced. The answer is consistent: “We’re following B.C. health guidelines.” How pathetic is that? I am aware Henry and her staff believe that other behavioural actions, such as distancing and avoiding groups, may be more effective than masking, but there is a ton of research and expert opinion that masks are an excellent first-line defence against COVID-19. And wearing one is such an easy thing to do to protect your fellow being from sickness or death. So, here’s my suggestion — no more tepid advice because it obviously hasn’t

KEEP WESTSYDE POOL/FITNESS CENTRE OPEN Editor: My wife and I recently moved to Westsyde from Batchelor Heights. One of the major perks we were looking forward to was the availability of the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre. This past summer and into the fall, the Fitness Centre was closed largely because of pandemic-related restrictions. When it reopened and I went to use the facility, I was astonished to learn it was going to close again in the new year.

There was an article in KTW that indicated a major reason for the coming pandemic-related temporary closure of the facility was due to lack of users. How are people expected to use the facility if they are not aware it is open? There appeared to have been no real organized program advertising the reopening to the community. The city appears to want the centre to fade away quietly. The decision to close the facility has been made following recent spending of considerable

funds to upgrade the roof. This appears to be another instance of poor planning and administration by the city. To my knowledge, there is no other fitness facility in Westsyde, which has always been a tight, highly active community with its own identity. The pool and fitness centre have been a significant contributor to that identity. It would be a poor decision to close such an identifying feature for residents of this part of the city.

worked in B.C. to this point. I think Henry should engage in some tough love, as in saying: “Masks are mandated — now! Masks save lives of people you don’t know, but also perhaps of family members. Stop being macho or selfish or entitled or claiming that your rights are being trampled. Operating room staff wear masks all day without complaining.” The writing is on the wall, folks. What we’ve done so far has been too, little too late. Whatever other measures are enacted, perhaps universal mask use would mitigate or prevent the health and economic cataclysm that is on the horizon. It’s just a little thing. We can do it. What have we got to lose? Larry Webster retired family doctor Kamloops

How have dentists made offices safe?

Compared to other health care settings, dentists have been at the forefront of infection control measures for decades. We have made heroic efforts to monitor and research the safest way to treat patients during and after the first COVID shutdown. You must realize that we work in the mouth—where COVID is constantly breathed in and out. We are MOST at risk, so the the patient must realize we will do EVERYTHING IN our POWER to keep you, the public and our staff and ourselves safe. We are used to adapting and modifying our work space constantly because of the risks we take on. In the 1980s AIDS epidemic, we started to mask and glove. Before that we did things with bare hands! Handwashing and equipment sterilization happened before that. Most recent research, as of yesterday, proves that masks protect the wearer and others and this has been old news to us dentists. We always mask! The one difference is that the COVID 19 virus, much like SARS I, is a smaller virus and thus being only 30nm, it is extremely light and can travel further and on aerosol droplets. This is why masks must be moisture repellent or thicker fabric to prevent inhalation. There has not been a single case noted from a dental office transmission because dentists are on top of it and have implemented all safety measures before we were mandated to. Things such as gowning, draping, masking (N95s) or shields, air filtrations systems, hepa filters are all the things you see after you are having treatment. All the safety precautions to filter and screen things before you come in, is additional: outdoor reception rooms, office partitions, temperature checks, preappointment mouthwash etc. This has taken weeks of planning and preparation prior to our offices opening in June. The result? No viral spread, all staff and patients continue to be safe. There was that fear at the beginning, but we’ve really been able to mitigate peoples stresses! Once our office reopened, we had so many emergencies that were not being dealt with; pain and infections that also needed attention. The lack of regular dental cleanings also led to emergencies. And now, 6 months later, I am seeing so many stressed out patients, resulting in clenching and grinding and unfortunately, cracked teeth and emergency treatment needed on another level. Be patient with your health care provider. We mask 24/7 and have triple the work to do prior and after seeing to your oral health needs! Dental health and preventative care is very important. If you delay preventative measures, you might end up in pain and in emergency. We don’t want that to happen.

‘Meditative breathing’ led to death KAMLOOPS MAN WAS PRACTISING METHOD WHEN HE DROWNED IN 2019 JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A coroner’s investigation has determined a young Kamloops entrepreneur who died tragically by drowning in a swimming pool last summer would submerge himself to practise “meditative breathing” — and a medical expert is warning of dangers associated with the activity. The coroner’s report was released following the death of Gary BridalFisher, a 32-year-old Kamloops man and owner of Kamloops Heating and Air Conditioning. Bridal-Fisher died on Aug. 20, 2019 ,and the BC Coroner’s Service investigated. According to the coroner’s report, Bridal-Fisher used a one-metre high, above-ground pool at his home to aid with a previous back injury and submerged himself to practise a meditative breathing technique, which involves hyperventilating prior to holding one’s breath underwater. It is done to elicit a euphoric reaction or high. When practising the breathing technique, Bridal-Fisher would set an audible timer, so he knew when to resurface and take a breath, the coroner’s report states. “On the afternoon of Aug. 20, 2019, Mr. Bridal-Fisher returned home from work and told his spouse he would be in the pool,” the report said. “He was seen by his spouse with his head above the water performing his breathing exercises. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes later, she heard the audible timer ringing for a longer than

expected time.” Bridal-Fisher was found unconscious and the coroner determined he died accidentally of drowning. Kamloops This Week has heard anecdotally of others practising a similar breathing technique in the city. KTW spoke to a medical expert, who explained why the practice is dangerous. UBC professor Ian Pike had not reviewed Bridal-Fisher’s coroner’s report, but is familiar with the underwater breathing technique and what is called “shallow water blackout,” which can result. Pike said the practise of hyperventilation before submerging in water is problematic and dangerous. The reason people feel the urge to breathe is due to a build-up of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. The brain is triggered to inhale and blow off the carbon dioxide. Hyperventilation, which involves more frequent breaths, releases more carbon dioxide. Pike said the act artificially lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, therefore changing signals to the brain. “Essentially, what you’re doing is, you have lower levels of carbon dioxide and, therefore, the response to take a breath is not triggered,” Pike said. “So now you don’t have the normal trigger to breathe in.” That change in chemistry also causes a state of euphoria and fainting. It is extremely dangerous when done underwater. If one faints underwater, Pike explained, the brain is eventually sent

a signal to inhale and the lungs fill with water. “Once you fill your lungs with water, you have an extremely difficult time — even if you are recognized and rescued very quickly and if CPR and AR is applied very quickly — the fact that you have water inside your lungs changes the whole physiology of your lungs. … You go into extreme distress,” Pike said. Cardiac arrest occurs as a result of water thinning the blood and causing a heart attack. Hyperventilation, or tricking of the brain not to breathe, is used by others to hold their breath for long durations. Pike said military personnel experience an influx of deaths related to shallow water blackouts, due to training to swim underwater for long periods of time. People of cultures in other parts of the world, such as Southeast Asia, can dive and spend several minutes underwater, Pike noted. However, he said, they aren’t hyperventilating nor seeking a euphoric state, but have trained for years to hold their breath. Pike said the message about hyperventilating and entering water, whatever the reason, is that it is dangerous and can be fatal. Pike said neither fitness nor health factor into the risk level. According to a BC Coroners Service report on accidental drowning deaths from 2008 to 2016, more than one in three accidental drownings in B.C. occurred in the Interior Health region. Eighty per cent of the drownings involved males, with 19-to-29-year-olds the demographic most represented.

Correction A story published in the Nov. 11 edition of Kamloops This Week (‘Who should fund Noble Creek water system upgrade?’) looked at various water systems and incorrectly stated that the Blackwell family owns the Campbell Creek Water Users Community Association.

In fact, the Campbell Creek Water Users Community, which consists of more than 120 water licensees of various property sizes, owns the irrigation water infrastructure. Blackwell Dairy Farm owner Ted Blackwell is chairman of the system.

Tracing the testing steps From A1

Once those close contacts are identified, public health informs those individuals to self-isolate for 14 days because they could be incubating the virus. According to Interior Health, COVID-19 is more likely to be transmitted in close settings, where people are together for at least 15 minutes and layers of protection, such as masks and physical distancing, are not in place. “Everyone else is at lower risk because they are not a close contact. They are asked to self-monitor for symptoms, as we all should be,” Fenton said. Some of the most common COVID-19 symptoms are fever, difficulty breathing, chest pain, dry cough and fatigue. School exposures are listed publicly online, with the date and type of notification: outbreak, cluster or exposure. Fenton said an exposure means an infected person was in a school, so there is potential for transmission, while a cluster means more than one case grouped together in space or time has been found. An outbreak is declared when there is uncontrolled transmission occurring — multiple cases that are connected, but it’s not clear how the virus is passing between them. An outbreak triggers the need for added measures, including daily outbreak control meetings between IH and a school and enhanced cleaning practices to

stop the spread, Fenton said. No school outbreaks have been declared to date in IH. “Even in an outbreak, we would try to choose strategies that would minimize the need to close a school,” Fenton said, noting a grade or cohort may be asked to isolate, rather than have the entire school closed. She said no outbreak has been declared at NorKam to this point because there is no evidence of transmission occurring there. CARE HOMES While it would take a lot to trigger an outbreak in schools or businesses, it takes just one case do so in a care home. Fenton said this is the provincial standard for care homes and the reason for the different approach is to protect the long-term care population, which is the most vulnerable to severe cases of COVID-19. Added measures implemented for a care home outbreak involve additional deep cleaning of the site, twice-daily symptom monitoring and regular outbreak-control meetings. Social activities are temporarily suspended, as are visitations, which are already fairly restrictive. Non-essential medical appointments are cancelled or delayed and staff are also limited to specific units. “If there’s an outbreak unit, all the staff who work on the outbreak unit don’t go and work elsewhere in the facility,” Fenton said. The Hamlets COVID-19 outbreak is in units C1 and C2.

Asked why these outbreak measures aren’t utilized regularly, Fenton said care homes all have COVID-19 safety plans in place, which are proving effective as there have not been any cases of the virus in facility residents to date. “Which is amazing,” she said, noting the added measures are also quite severe. “It wouldn’t be possible or fair to do this to them all the time.” An outbreak is declared once public health has done contact tracing to determine if the employee worked while infectious and with whom he or she was in contact. Care home employees cannot work while symptomatic, awaiting test results or until they’ve finished self isolating, Staff members are subject to symptom screenings and must change their clothes when they arrive for work, regardless of an outbreak being in place. Most, if not all, facilities perform temperature checks. TESTING Asked why an entire group wouldn’t be tested at a school or care home, Fenton said COVID-19 testing is only recommended for those who exhibit symptoms of the virus, not for those who are asymptomatic. Fenton said this is because of the likelihood of false positives and false negatives. Given the two-week incubation period of the virus, someone could WINNER produce a negative result while still carrying the virus.2019

COVID-19 outbreak declared at The Hamlets KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Interior Health has now declared a COVID19 outbreak in units C1 and C2 at The Hamlets at Westsyde long-term care home after a careaide tested positive for the disease. Interior Health said only the one staff member has thus far tested positive for COVID-19, noting no residents are experiencing symptoms or have tested positive. The health authority said additional infection control and preventive measures have been implemented, with outbreak protocols in the affected units including a temporary pause in visits. Interior Health is contacting anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19 to ensure they are also

taking appropriate precautions — such as self-isolation or monitoring — as required. Other steps Interior Health continues to take include: • Ensuring longterm care staff are only working at one care home, as per the provincial single site order. • Monitoring all residents for respiratory symptoms and conducting COVID-19 testing on anyone with COVID-19 symptoms. • Enhanced cleaning protocols and COVID19 visitor policies. To date, no longterm care residents have tested positive for COVID-19 at any homes in Interior Health The Hamlets at Westsyde is privately owned and operated with 109 publicly funded long-term care beds.

First case in city school Kamloops has recorded what is believed to be its first confirmed COVID-19 case in a school. NorKam senior secondary principal Jonathan Brady has sent a letter to families of students at the school, notifying them that “a member of the NorKam school community” has tested positive for the disease. The letter is dated Nov. 14. The letter did not state whether the person with COVID-19 is a student or staff member, but noted Interior Health has undertaken contact tracing to determine if anybody at the school was in contact with the confirmed case. Those deemed to have been close contacts will be contacted by the health authority and told to follow self-isolation orders. “If you are not contacted by Interior Health,” the letter states, “it has been determined that your child is not at risk of developing COVID-19.”

Trio of workers tests positive A third employee at Kamloops Home Hardware has tested positive for COVID-19 and the business has updated its Facebook page with new information. The third employee to test positive was last in the Halston Connector store on Friday, Nov. 6, working in the paint department from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Two other employees earlier tested positive. One employee last worked on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as a cashier. The other employee last worked on Thursday, Nov. 5, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., in the contractor sales department. All three employees are self-isolating. Co-workers who may have been in close contact with the trio who tested positive are also self-isolating and getting tested, per Interior Health guidelines. The store remains open after enhanced cleaning.

In a Nov. 14 letter to families of residents at The Hamlets — obtained by KTW —

general manager Bob Attfield said an Interior Health medical health officer confirmed the

positive COVID-19 test. “The Hamlets at Westsyde has been preparing for this

situation since the very early days of Covid-19, please rest assured that all of our team is work-

B.C. has also hit a record number of those in hospital, at 198, with 63 people in critical care. Of the new cases, 484 are in Fraser Health, 177 are in the Vancouver Coastal Health, 18 are in Interior Health, 16 are in Island Health and 21 are in Northern Health, along with one further case of a person who resides outside Canada. Another 10,960 people are under active monitoring by public health due to potential exposure. A total of 310 people in B.C. have now died due to the virus, while 16,469 have recovered of the province’s total 23,661 cases.

Pfizer’s vaccine needs to be kept in extremely cold temperatures (minus 70 C), while Moderna’s vaccine needs to be stored in temperatures of minus 20 C.

Compassion is a safer supply of drugs LESLIE McBAIN

SPECIAL TO KTW

Moms Stop the Harm

ow do we stop the epidemic of toxic drug deaths in B.C. and in Canada? There are a lot of suggestions in the milieu, and many of them are not compassionate, nor are they evidencebased. People who use drugs are

actual human beings with lives and loved ones and hopes. They also have a health issue called substance use disorder (SUD). It seems that all progressive medical professionals, and even legislators, agree that SUD, also known as addiction, is a health issue and not an issue that is moral in nature. If addiction to drugs of any kind is a health issue, and we firmly agree that it is, then why are people not given the medicine and care they need? With

any other disease or health problem in this province, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, patients receive the best drugs and a continuum of care for life. People who struggle with addiction are very distant from that level of care. The majority of people who are addicted must access their medicine on the very toxic and dangerous black market. And they are dying in record numbers. If our health care system was

able to see its way to treating people with SUD with pharmaceutical-grade, low-barrier, legal substances, deaths would drop, people could stabilize and perhaps choose treatment. Petty crime would drop, the thriving gangland black market would largely dry up, the criminal justice system would be unburdened of drug-related crimes and the emergency medical system would regain capacity and dollars. It is said that for every one

dollar governments spend on harm reduction, which includes a safe supply, 12 taxpayer dollars are saved. We know that a safer supply of drugs for people who have SUD is the humane, realistic and pragmatic way to go. It is simple to say and complex to implement, but it can, and will, save lives. What could be more important? Leslie McBain is a co-founder of the group Moms Stop the Harm.

WORDS MATTER The stigma around substance use and addiction is one of the biggest barriers for people seeking and receiving treatment for substance use disorders. Stigma often takes the form of discriminatory attitudes, beliefs and behaviours. Stigma is most apparent in stigmatizing language, which relies heavily on stereotypes to shame and belittle individuals. Words matter. Changing our words can encourage more compassion. Stigma is not only hurtful; it has real-life consequences. Family and friends of people who use substances can also experience stigma.

Gore kept his humour intact to the end

THROUGH THE LENS OF GORDON GORE’S CAMERA

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Gordon Gore joked with friends and families in the last weeks of his life that he wanted to see two things before he died — U.S. President Donald Trump defeated in the election south of the border last week and Rory McIlroy in a green jacket, crowned Masters champion this weekend. He got one of them. The longtime educator and author, perhaps known best as founder of the Big Little Science Centre, died on Wednesday, Nov. 11, six days short of his 83rd birthday. Gore taught science at high schools in the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley and Kamloops before retiring in 1990 to train educators at what was then the University College of the Cariboo. “He’s obviously an amazing person — a genius,” daughter Susanne Gore-Flukinger told KTW. “He just poured his life into what he was passionate about, which was science, photography and inspiring people to learn. He wasn’t just a teacher because it was his job — it was who he was inside.” Born in Toronto, Gore grew up in Quebec and studied at McGill before heading west to Vancouver to further his education at the University of B.C. While teaching, Gore would visit other schools to help science teachers improve their methods and engage students. Now president of the Big Little Science Centre, Jim Hebden first met Gore during one of those sessions. He was teaching at Kam High at the time and Gore came to put on a handson demonstration. “It was because of his influence that I started infusing more and more demos into my chem lessons,” Hebden said. “In many ways, Gordie truly was larger than life and was unwavering in his determination to create a place that was hands-on to its core.” Gord Stewart had a front-row seat for Gore’s enthusiasm when it came to science. Stewart, executive director of the Big Little Science Centre, said it started with his job interview in 2005 — the first time he met Gore. He said part of the interview included Gore engaging with a class of students. “It became very clear,” Stewart said. “He was a driven guy and I could see that right away. He had an ability to show people science is a thing you do, not a thing you read about.” Though Gore stepped back from his role at the centre about five years ago, Stewart said he remained involved in the facility’s business until the very end. “He was still involved last week,” Stewart said. “I talked to him on Friday and we were talking about the centre.” Gore’s lifelong drive to help people embrace

science will be recognized at the Big Little Science Centre, Stewart said, which will soon rename its main feature the Gordon R. Gore Exploration Room. “We actually had that in the works already to name the exploration room after him,” Stewart said. “It was going to be ready in a couple of weeks. But I got to tell him about it.” Stewart said Gore was also able to get a first-hand look at the Big Little Science Centre’s new downtown digs in the former Value Village building, which has slowly opened in recent weeks to limited capacities. “He got to come in about two or three weeks ago and see the completed building,” Stewart said. “He saw the whole thing. He liked it. He was happy. He could see where we were going and he liked it.” Gore-Flukinger said her father was lonely in the final months of his life, given precautions in place amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that limited social interactions for long-term care home residents. Gore lived at The Hamlets in Westsyde. But he was able to visit many of those closest to him in the last weeks of his life. “When he couldn’t go anywhere, his purpose was taken away from him — which at that time was getting out and photographing the osprey at The Dunes,” she said. “I asked him whether he thought COVID had hastened things and he said he didn’t know. But he certainly lost so much weight. It did make some of his last months so lonely, but did it speed up the course of it? I don’t know.” Gore-Flukinger said her dad’s trademark sense of humour was fully intact right up to the end. “Even when it was hard for him to breathe and he had trouble talking, he was still making jokes and puns,” she said. If not for COVID-19, thousands of people would be gathering somewhere at some point in the coming days or weeks to remember Gore and his contributions to the community. Gore-Flukinger said she knows that memorial will happen, but that it’s a matter of time. “It really is too bad,” she said. “We’ve had hundreds of messages from people about how he’s impacted their lives and inspired their love of science. But they will do it at some point — they will have that celebration and we will all join in and enjoy his favourite science displays.”

It seems this falcon was busy attacking an immature ring-billed gull in August 2019 at The Dunes at Westsyde Golf Course when the commotion attracted Oprah the opsrey. With the osprey nest a mere 100 yards away, and with that nest harbouring baby Ozzie, Oprah likely felt threatened and decided to dive bomb the falcon/gull fight and clear the area of any other birds. Gordon Gore sent this photo to KTW with a comment: “I’ll never get another shot like this.”

Gordon Gore shot this photo of a super moon rising above Strawberry Hill on March 9, 2020. “I hope I am not boring you with these photos, but I got a better one of Oscar and the family today.” So wrote Gordon Gore to KTW when emailing this photo of his beloved ospreys at The Dunes at Westsyde Golf Course about to enjoy a seafood dinner.

Man who beat teen into coma denied parole KRISTOPHER TEICHRIEB REMAINS BEHIND BARS; HIS VICTIM, JESSIE SIMPSON, HAS LIFELONG INJURIES TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who confronted and violently beat a teenager with a baseball bat in 2016 has been denied parole. Kristopher Teichrieb is serving a seven-year sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty two years ago to one count of aggravated assault stemming from a brutal baseball bat attack that landed Jessie Simpson with life-altering permanent brain injuries. Teichrieb had been charged with attempted murder, but struck a plea deal with prosecutors. Simpson was 18 on June 19, 2016, when he became separated from a group of friends while out celebrating the end of the school year. He wandered onto Teichrieb’s property near the corner of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue in the early-morning hours before being attacked. Court heard Teichrieb’s Brocklehurst neighbours called 911 to report the attack, the bulk of which took place in the middle of

the street after Simpson attempted to flee. Neighbours told police they could hear Simpson crying and saw him covered in blood. When police arrived on scene minutes later, they found Teichrieb standing over a bloodied, motionless Simpson, saying, “I got him.” In the weeks leading up to the attack, Teichrieb had been threatening vigilante action after calling police a number of times to report criminal behaviour near his home. Police had cautioned Teichrieb against taking matters into his own hands. According to Parole Board of Canada documents, Teichrieb

applied for day and full parole in October. The documents state Teichrieb has not fully “accepted responsibility” for his role in the attack that left Simpson injured. Teichrieb told the board he believed Simpson had broken into his vehicle and that Simpson hit him during the altercation. “You accept some responsibility for your offending, but you are more concerned with the consequences to yourself rather than to the victim,” the document reads. According to the documents, Teichrieb has not been an ideal inmate behind bars. He is described

KAMLOOPS TENNIS PLAYER NETS SERIOUS SCHOLARSHIP DOLLARS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Paige Grice is the latest Kamloops Tennis Centre product to cash in on valuable scholarship dollars. The 17-year-old NorKam senior secondary student has committed to join the Western Illinois University Leathernecks in time for the 2021-2022 NCAA Division One campaign. “It’s just going to be amazing for me to be able to continue to play tennis, because I love the sport, at an even higher level than I am right now, while also being able to get my education and get my degree,” said Grice, a math whiz who plans to study physics, but is undecided on a career path. “It’s an amazing opportunity to meet new people and improve myself as an athlete and really just become more independent. I’m going to be far away from home.” The academic and athletic scholarship dollars will nearly amount to a full ride at the institution in Macombe, Ill. Grice had competition for the Leathernecks’ scholarship, with head coach Shawn Hyden considering multiple women. “They decided to choose her,” said Kamloops Tennis Centre coach Kelly Hubbard, who has worked with Grice since she was seven. “She’s got a lot of drive and enthusiasm. She’s pushed even harder since committing to the school.” Agent Deborah Veitch helped distribute video for Grice, who had other options, but none more appealing than Western Illinois. Hubbard said the junior standout is being rewarded for dedication on and off the court. “At about 12 or 13, she started to push hard,” Hubbard said. “Physical work is not easy to do when you’re a teenager. You’d rather go out with friends and do

stuff like that. She seemed to be training a lot in the gym. It was like, OK, she’s got really good selfdiscipline.” Grice credited Hubbard and all of her playing partners for spurring her development, making special mention of Justin and Thomas Friesen. Justin, one year older than Grice and two years his brother’s senior, toiled in Kamloops to earn a scholarship at Holy Cross College at Notre Dame, a private school in Indiana, also with the help of Veitch. “The kids in this city are really athletic,” Hubbard said. “I think if they choose tennis, I can give them the paramaters that would allow them to succeed. We’re offering a comprehensive package that I don’t know a lot of cities are offering.” Hubbard said his juniors are offered ample court time, which is not always available at clubs on the Coast, and KTC athletes can capitalize on a relationship with David Stride of Stride Sport and Performance. Grice will join a team loaded with international flavour. The Leathernecks’ 2020-2021 women’s tennis roster: Agatha Carbonell of Valencia, Spain, Lorena Castellanos of Recife, Brazil, Aina Cortina-Pou of Blanes, Spain, Ericka Dawson of Macombe, Ill., Lucky Kancherla of Edina, Minn., Maria Rybka of Castro-Urdiales, Spain, Nikhita Simhambhatla of Hyderabad, Telangana, India and Maria Vidal of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Grice said her path can help lead the way for the next generation of tennis talent in the Tournament Capital. “It’s really cool, for men’s and women’s, but especially women’s. There is a lot of opportunity in the United States for scholarships,” Grice said. “It’s awesome for people younger than me to see I have these opportunities and they can also have them.”

If only fans could have seen the Kamloops Storm in action on opening weekend. The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club posted two overtime victories, the second a 3-2 triumph over the North Okanagan Knights (0-1-1-0) on Sunday in Armstrong. Owen Barrow tallied the OT winner three minutes and 19 seconds into the extra frame, an unassisted marker. Lex Friesen and Branden Toye also had goals for Kamloops (2-00-0) in support of goaltender Jakob Drapeau, who stopped 20 shots to pick up the victory. Zakery Anderson scored in overtime to lift Kamloops to a 3-2 win over the Chase Heat on Friday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Goals from Jarod Sigouin and Trevor Kennedy put Chase up 2-0 heading into the second intermission, but Friesen and Peyton Kelly tallied for the home team in the third frame to force an extra session. Toye and Brody Johnston had assists on Anderson’s game-winning marker in OT. Drapeau was the winning netminder. COVID-19 regulations kept fans away from the arenas on the weekend. The Heat (1-0-1-0) will play host to the Storm on Saturday at Art Holding Memorial Arena.

shadowed news items is Curtis Atkinson, director of athletics and recreation for Thompson Rivers University, accepting a nomination to become president of Canada West. That role traditionally comes along with appointment to the U Sports board of directors, which includes four university presidents and four athletics directors, with equal representation from each regional association — Canada West, Ontario University Athletics, Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec and Atlantic University Sport. Atkinson, previously vice-president of Canada West, joined the U Sports board of directors as an officer for a two-year term, news announced on Monday (Nov. 16) in a press release. Neither of the positions comes with a bonus in pay, but they do feature added responsibility and time commitments, a trade most would consider a raw deal. Atkinson, 43, said he has no interest in resume-building and wants to spend the rest of his working life at the helm of TRU WolfPack sports, assuring KTW there are no clandestine career angles in play. The jobs — which put him in the engine rooms of 56 U Sports member schools, 17 of which are in Canada West — offer opportunity to learn, grow, exchange perspectives and develop insight and relationships that should make him better at the gig he holds in Kamloops, he said. “I have to listen to the 16 other schools,” Atkinson said. “I can’t just take a TRU perspective forward. But I like to think it’s positive for TRU in that I’m, at the very least, involved with conversations that could influence our

future direction and operations. I’m very sincere when I say I do think it’s an opportunity to learn and grow. There’s no doubt it’s going to be a challenging period of time.” Four outgoing U Sports board members have been replaced by Atkinson, Joanne MacLean, president and vice-chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley, Graham Carr, president and vice-chancellor of Concordia University, and John Richard, director of athletics for the University of New Brunswick. “We are confident their leadership and guidance will allow us to safely and effectively navigate the challenges of this critical time for university sports across Canada,” U Sports interim CEO Dick White said in a press release. The election of the board of directors normally occurs in June, during the U Sports annual meeting, but the previous board composition was extended to preserve continuity while the organization finalized several key decisions and updated policies and regulations to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic. Officers will be led by Carleton University president and vicechancellor BenoitAntoine Bacon, who joined the board in 2019 and has been appointed chair. Richard and MacLean will serve as vice-chair and treasurer, respectively, while Manon Simard, athletics director at Université de Montréal, remains U Sports secretary. Atkinson is listed as a director representative online at usports. ca. “It’s important to distinguish that, when on conference or national committees, you have to take off your institution hat and look at the conference or national perspective,” Atkinson said. “Having said that, I do think it’s good for TRU to be involved with those conversations.”

UBC Thunderbirds flock to expansion NorthPaws Two more UBC Thunderbirds have been added to the Kamloops Northpaws’ roster. Ty Penner plans to bring a big bat to the expansion baseball franchise, which is scheduled to join the West Coast League ranks next summer. Penner, from Lethbridge, is a sizeable first-baseman, a UBC sophomore who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 215 pounds. “I try and bring a bat that can hit for extra bases, whether it’s doubles or even home runs,” Penner said in a NorthPaws’ press release. “I think my bat is the difference-maker in the game, but I also try to play some solid, steady defence at the corners of the infield.” Sammie Starr, an assistant coach for the NorthPaws and T-Birds, is familiar with Penner’s game. “Ty is a plus defender at first base and he’s got power potential as a big left-handed batting first baseman,” Starr said in the release. “He’s grown and gained muscle over the past couple of years.” T-Birds’ sophomore shortstop Mike Fitzsimmons of Chilliwack has also committed to the NorthPaws. “I don’t think there’s an infield coach better than Sammie in Canada. If I can go anywhere he is in the summer, then I think that’s putting me at an advantage,” Fitzsimmons said M A Y A

at Valleyview Arena. Kamloops, which played to a scoreless tie against hometown Kelowna on Saturday, was backstopped on the weekend by Victoria Preston and Morgan Luce, who split time between the pipes. Recording points for Kamloops on Sunday were Tayla McMillan (2G), Korie McGill (1G, 1A), Lily MacLeod (1G), Erika Denis (1G), Lily Dulaba (1G), Jaylah Bottle (1G), Macie Stankoven (1A), Jaime Dyck )1A) and Kate Streek (1A). DUNSTONE WINS Kamloops skip Matt Dunstone guided his team from Regina to victory last weekend at a Saskatchewan Curling Tour Event in Prince Albert. Dunstone, third Braeden Moskowy, second Kirk Muyres and lead Dustin Kidby topped Kody Hartung 8-2 on Sunday in the final to cap a perfect

5-0 tournament. Team Dunstone has seen limited action in the first half of the 2020-2021 campaign, with the pandemic doing a number on curling schedules across the country. The 2020 Brier bronze medallists won the only other cashspiel in which they have participated this season, the Vaderstad Saskatchewan Men’s Super Series presented by Calidon Leasing in October in Regina. VIBE BENCHED The Kamloops Vibe’s season has been scuttled amid the COVID19 pandemic. South Coast Women’s Hockey League organizers initially planned to go ahead with a truncated campaign beginning in January, but voted unanimously last week to cancel the 2020-2021 season. League play is expected to resume in September.

OTTAWA — Canada’s deputy chief of public health says the initial health and safety protocols proposed for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton look promising. Dr. Howard Njoo told reporters on Tuesday the bubble concept planned for the event, where players and team staff are isolated from the general public and fans are not permitted to attend games in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19, has seen proven success in the NHL and NBA. Njoo added lessons learned from Edmonton’s time as one of the NHL’s hub cities can be applied to the world junior tournament. However, Njoo said public health officials are still looking at the proposals and a lot can happen between now and the start of the tournament next month. The world junior championship is scheduled to run from Dec. 25 to Jan. 5. Canada’s selection camp began on Tuesday in Red Deer and is scheduled to run until Dec. 13. Goaltender Dylan Garand and forward Connor Zary of the Kamloops Blazers are at the selection camp.

he whirling dervishes have become such an iconic tourist commodity that visitors can see their mesmerizing meditations performed in train station halls, cultural centres and even converted hammams (steam baths). For many camera-clicking enthusiasts, this will suffice but for those seeking its more spiritual essence, head for a dervish monastery (a tekke) where the entire experience transforms into something quite magical. The ceremony (known as a sema) is a religious affair, started by Mevlana (Jalaluddin) Rumi, the 13th century poet and mystic who chose dance and music as his path to God. From Konya in central Turkey where Rumi lived for much of his life and is buried, his Sufi followers founded the Mevlevi order and spread the dance throughout the Ottoman Empire. Over the next 700 years, it evolved into the entrancing practice filled with the tradition and ritual, that you see today. Although there are tekkes in Istanbul and elsewhere, Konya is widely regarded as the cultural epicenter for whirling dervish. Here, regardless of whether there is an audience, devotions take place daily in the tekke of a former dervish seminary. The adjoining mausoleum (site of Rumi’s tomb) houses manuscripts of Mevlana’s works alongside various accouterments of the sect, and the entire complex hosts a 9-day dervish festival in December. For all these reasons, Konya offers one of the most authentic experiences in the country. Spectators sit in a semi-circle around the dancers (semazen) in

preparation to receive the lightness — the Nirvana — of the turning prayer. During the hour-long ceremony, distractions are minimal so the focus is palpable. There is no photography allowed (although they do whirl for camera-buffs afterwards), no cell phones, no applause, no young children and no-one is permitted to enter or leave. If the dervishes succeed in helping spectators get in touch with their spirituality, then the dancer has succeeded in his worship. The sema is divided into four parts involving music and melodic chanting, the dervish entrance and invocation, communion with destiny and the whirling meditation itself. Clothing plays an important role. The camel-hair headdress (a sikke) represents a tombstone of the ego — its colour depend-

ing on the sect. The black cloak (a hirka) embodies the wearers’ worldly life and is cast off during the service. The white skirt (a tenure) beneath represents a shroud of the ego which, when revealed, denotes a rebirth to perfection and signifies that the dancer is ready to start the captivating and complex whirls that define the practice. At the start, the dervish holds his arms crosswise over the heart, acknowledging God’s unit as number one. As the spinning cycle (a dhikr) commences, his arms lift and open — the right hand directed to the sky in readiness to receive God’s beneficence and the left hand turning toward the earth denoting his willingness to convey God’s spiritual gift to those in the audience. The dancers, who fast for many hours before the sema,

turn in rhythmic patterns, using the left foot to propel their bodies around the right foot with their eyes open, but unfocused. The whirling seems orchestrated by a Grand Master who weaves in between their dancing rotations, all of which is fueled by music: usually an oud player — a wooden pear-shaped lute, a flute player that exudes a reedy, melancholic sound and a kettle drummer. The rotations, up to 30 per minute, are always counterclockwise, imitating the earth’s rotation around the sun and recognizing that we are all one with the solar system. By revolving from right to left, it is believed that the dancer’s heart is also embracing all humanity with love. Some have said that their tilting head mirrors the earth’s axis but more practically it is one of the techniques used,

alongside breathing strategies, to quell dizziness and feelings of nausea. The whirling dervishes are everything you may have heard — hypnotic, intriguing and mystic. Over the millennia, theirs is a religion that has evolved from many diverse cultures and has become a remarkable fusion of Christianity, Shamanism and Islam. To some, it is an unlikely union of faiths and philosophies, but bearing witness to their sacred prayer is to understand why the whirling dervishes continue to amaze, mesmerize and connect to so many people from different parts of the world.

He was patient and really listened to our needs and concerns, which isn’t easy with 4 buyers involved! He was able to find a home perfect for our needs. Mike proved himself very capable of negotiating and navigating difficult situations. He was very personal and professional at the same time. We would use Mike again and recommend him to all!

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, creative energies may be high this week. You will have to find a way to channel them into something productive at work. Many ideas will come your way.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Emotionally you should be feeling quite well this week, Taurus. It could be a perfect time for spending moments with a sweetheart or relaxing with the kids.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 The week ahead certainly will not be boring, Gemini. The adventurous side of you wants to take some risks and try something that is normally off-limits. Move ahead slowly.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

It is important to let others have their moments to shine, Cancer. This week, give others their due time, and do not interrupt when someone is offering his or her opinion.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, at some point this week you may find yourself involved in a project that has piqued your interest for some time. As long as it doesn’t consume all of your energy, it can be productive.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Use extra care with your words, Virgo. Some people may not pick up on your sense of humor. There’s a possibility that people may take things personally.

Craft Beer. Wine. Coolers. Ciders. Specialty Liquor.

Good stuff all the time.

NOVEMBER 18 - NOVEMBER 24, 2020 LIBRA

- Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week you may find yourself in the perfect position to meet the right person. This person can be a love interest or a new friend. Invite him or her in with open arms.

SCORPIO

- Oct 24/Nov 22 The planets may activate your subconscious mind which could play out in your dreams. Try to pay attention to your dreams this week and log the important details.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Restlessness might be consuming you, Sagittarius. You may be tempted to get outside more often or plan a getaway, but unfortunately tasks at home and at work dominate.

I own the world’s worst thesaurus. Not only is it awful, it’s awful.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Of course you may want to get everything correct on the first attempt, Capricorn. But that does not always happen. Keep trying because practice makes perfect.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You may be feeling a little blue, Aquarius. Make a few minor changes to shake things up. A little change may be all you need to get over the blues.

PISCES

- Feb 19/Mar 20 Increased pressures at work may strain your nerves a bit, Pisces. Time with your spouse, children and/or friends can help.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: TMC-ROW IVMP-2020

Applicant: Trans Mountain Corporation (TMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9, Email: info@transmountain.com as well as the toll-free info line 1.866.514.6700 In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, TMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for TMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The IVMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within TMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems. In British Columbia, TMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined products from Edmonton, AB to Burnaby, BC. The pipelines are located below ground and in the proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby. This IVMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5-year IVMP which expires in April 2021. The proposed duration of the IVMP is from May 1, 2021 to May 1, 2026. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low or self-sustaining ground cover, seeding, fertilization where setbacks permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides (herbicides) are intended within the geographic area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies. TMC conducts all work, including pest (herbicide) management, in strict adherence with all applicable Acts and regulations. The active ingredient names and an example of trade names of the pesticides (herbicides) proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Clearview), picloram (Grazon), pyroxasulfone (Torpedo), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), esterified vegetable oil (Hasten adjuvant) and paraffinic oil and alkoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactants (Gateway adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, stem injection, wick/wipe-on applicator, and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be reviewed online on the Trans Mountain website from using this link https://www.transmountain.com/vegetation-management A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above (Trans Mountain Corporation, info@transmountain.com as well as the toll-free info line 1.866.514.6700) within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

Shari Lynn Voll 1975 - 2020

December 16, 1924 - November 3, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Shari Lynn Voll. Shari leaves behind Scott Leask (spouse), Maddie (loving dog) and many other loved ones both family and friends. Shari brightened any room she walked into. Anyone who knew her knows how much Maddie meant to her.

Lillian Irene Beck (née Carlson), age 95, passed from this life in the morning of November 3, 2020 at Overlander Extended Care Hospital in Kamloops. She was fighting dementia at the time and complications from a stroke a few days earlier. She is survived by Bill, her husband of 75 years, by her children Karen Gilbert (Lloyd) and Brian Beck (Dawn), and by four grandchildren and their families. Grandchildren include Teri Lynn Finch (Darren), Deanna Gilbert (Tina), Michael Beck (Christie), and Christie Beck (Steve). Great-grandchildren are Nathan and Sarah Finch, and Sagan Gilbert. Lillian was predeceased by her mother Alma Carlson and father Martin Carlson, and all her siblings. Lillian was born on December 16, 1924 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. She spent her early years on the family farm in Stewart Valley, the youngest and last survivor of 14 children. In her late teens (early 1940s), Lillian moved to Prince Rupert, BC to live with her sister (Alice) and family, and to attend secretarial school. She met her husband William (Bill) Beck, who was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy in Prince Rupert. Lillian and Bill married in September 1945. Karen, their daughter was born in October 1947, and two years later, their son William (Brian) was born in November 1949.In the early 1950s, Lillian and her family moved to Kitimat where Bill worked on the beltline during the construction of the Alcan aluminum smelter. During that time, the highway was pushed through from Terrace. After two and a half years, the family moved back to Prince Rupert. In 1963, Lillian and her family moved to Kamloops where she spent the remainder of her life. Dad came to Kamloops early to look for work, and Mom and the kids moved after the school was finished.

She will be forever missed and never forgotten. We like to think she’s having tea with our Dad as she was always a helping hand in his final days. Love Always,The Leasks Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Mom started working for Weyerhaeuser in 1963 and retired in 1985. After retirement, they spent the next several years as “snowbirds.” This continued “nomadic life”, Mom and Dad put roots down in Kamloops to be close to their family. Lillian worked for the early part of her family life in the home. She took in boarders in the early years and looked after her own family as well as a couple of men who became family friends. Later, when the kids were old enough, she began working in the office at the Prince Rupert Fisherman’s fish plant, putting her secretarial training to work. After moving to Kamloops in 1964 Lillian became the first secretarial hire for Allen Park who would become one of the founders of Kamloops Pulp and Paper, later becoming Weyerhaeuser Canada Limited. Mom had a penchant for numbers, and she took her role as payroll administer very seriously. She was exceptionally good at her job and had a reputation for “doing the job right.” She joined her husband in retirement in 1985. After moving to Kamloops, Lillian and Bill became members of a local square dancing club. They spent many evenings dancing and socializing with folks who had similar interests. She was a very friendly woman, and because of this, their social lives grew to include several long-term friends in Kamloops. She also worked hard to maintain the connections to people she had met, who included close friends in Prince Rupert and in other parts of North America. Some memorable trips for Lillian include their trip to Montreal for Expo 1967, and in 1970 to Expo in Osaka, Japan along with a 6city tour with the Rube Band. Then they went to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans shortly afterwards. Later, it a cruise to Alaska, and still later, their lengthy cruise from Vancouver, through the Panama Canal and on to the Caribbean and Florida with their children that stood out for her. She always enjoyed travelling to Arizona for the winter, and then returning home for the summers. Lillian is missed terribly by her husband Bill, by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and by the many nieces, nephews and friends that knew her and had spent time with her. Family was a very important part of her life. Due to COVID there will be no service for Lillian. If you wish, please donate to the Royal Inland Hospital in Lillian’s memory.

H Journey’s Just Begun

One Final

Gift

Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one ﬁnal gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... & you loved me.

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets,

This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting,

Q. Is it true you can’t bury an urn in the winter? A. Cemeteries make up their own rules. Some won’t bury urns from October to April. Others will, but charge extra. Some do it all year, and the fee’s the same. Drake Cremation & Funeral Services

From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost;

Gordon Ross Gore BSc, Med, D.Litt, M.S.M. 1937 to 2020

Obituaries

William (Bill) McLuckie MacLeod Gray Born: February 19, 1933 St. Catharines, ON Died: November 15, 2020 Kamloops, BC

Gordon was born in Toronto, Ontario on November 17, 1937. The family moved to Strathmore, Quebec, then to Lakeside, Quebec. He attended elementary school in Strathmore and Lachine and graduated from Lachine High School at the age of 16 in 1954. He loved playing community hockey in winter and played golf when caddies were allowed on Elmridge Golf Course one morning a week. He earned a Bachelor of Science from McGill University, took teacher training at the University of British Columbia, and earned his Master of Education in Science at UBC. Thompson Rivers University granted Gordon an honorary Doctor of Letters for his work in promoting science through his writings and the BIG Little Science Centre. He taught science and/or Physics at John Oliver High School, Sir Charles Tupper High School, Richmond Secondary, Kamloops Secondary, Westsyde Secondary, Norkam Secondary, and Hatzic Secondary (Mission, BC). He also trained science and physics teachers on the Faculty of Education at UBC. After retiring from teaching in 1990 he taught Science Education 320, Physics 110, and 113 at UCC (now TRU). In 2000 Gordon started the BIG Little Science Centre in one room at David Thompson Elementary School in Westsyde. The Science Centre moved several times between 2000 and 2019 when it lost its last school-based location. Thanks to the efforts of Executive Director Gord Stewart, his hardworking staff, a determined Board of Directors, many generous supporters, and a strong volunteer base, the Centre has risen again at 458 Seymour Street in downtown Kamloops. Gordon wrote and contributed to many science books, the most popular are the ‘hands-on’ Physics 11 and Physics 12, first published in 1986 and still used today. His other main interests were golf and photography. He had a gift for capturing the moment and prints of those memories are still proudly displayed by former students and their families. He was granted numerous awards for promoting science, particularly his founding of the BIG Little Science Centre and his many publications encouraging hands-on science. Some of the most prestigious awards include the Order of British Columbia, the B.C. Teacher of the Year Award, the Eve Savory Award for Science Communication, and the Award for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Award for Science Promotion. Due to failing health, Gordon’s favourite pastimes of playing golf and his active participation at the BIG Little Science Centre were curtailed. Living at The Hamlets in Westsyde, he was able to drive his power chair or scooter to the nearby Dunes Golf Course, where owner Bill Bilton very kindly allowed him to use a golf cart out on the course to take photographs of the abundant wildlife there. Many of those photographs hang in the dining area of The Hamlets, and many others are in self-published photo books. Gordon was predeceased by his father Gilbert Rawson (Ross) Gore, mother Margaret Dow (‘Peggy’) Gore (née Kemp), and older brothers David and Stephen. He is survived by brother Michael in Burnaby, former spouse Betty-May in Kamloops, and her three children by his late brother David: Susanne, David Jr., and Jennifer. He has numerous nephews, nieces, grandnephews, and grandnieces.

Bill is survived by his devoted wife Victoria. He also leaves behind his children and grandchildren all of whom he was extremely proud - his daughter Karen and her husband Craig Gemmel of Fonthill, ON and their children Laura (Chad Reece) of Welland, ON and Andrew of Boulder, CO and his son Bruce (Rhonda) and their daughter Samantha of Bradford, PA; his favourite sister Nancy Wansbrough (Sandy, deceased) of Collingwood, ON; his sister-in-law Kathy Palmer of Burlington, ON; brother-in-law Peter Marsh (Wendy) of Toronto, predeceased by Victoria’s sister Wendy; nephews and niece. He will be deeply missed by family and friends. Bill and Victoria met skiing and over their 48 years together followed their passion visiting ski resorts throughout North America and Europe. Summers were spent sailing and boating on the waters of the Great Lakes and the West Coast. They travelled extensively and met and kept friends from around the world. At home Bill was a voracious reader often coming home with stacks of biographies, history books or political commentaries. He faithfully followed the news reading the Globe & Mail from cover to cover every day on his iPad. There was nothing Bill couldn’t fix. He was “Mr. Fix-It.” He was fiercely proud of his Scottish Heritage and could play by ear many a Scottish Jig on the piano along with his repertoire of old favourites that he kept in his “little black book.” Victoria and Bill moved west from Ontario to settle at Little Heffley Lake so they could ski on Tod Mountain. It was his great desire to ride the new Crystal chair at Sun Peaks but that is not to be. In early August Bill was diagnosed with a brain tumour which he accepted with dignity. He felt extremely fortunate to have lived a fulfilling 87 years with no regrets and a chance to say his last goodbyes to family and friends. The family would like to acknowledge the expertise and compassion of his family physicians - Dr. Steven Broadbent and his assistants Darlene, Jen and Sarah and Dr. David Ritenburg and his assistant Jenny as well as Chris, Sheena and Peter at Pratt’s Compounding Pharmacy. Should friends desire, donations in Bill’s memory to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. We hope to have a gathering at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

He wishes to acknowledge the wonderful support over the years of former teaching colleague Ken Schroeder and his wife, Mary Ann. Thank you both for being like family to him. Special thanks to Dr. Jill Calder and Dr. Eric Haywood-Farmer for their compassion in the final days. Gordon requested that there be no funeral. At a later date, a cheerful remembrance event will be arranged by the BIG Little Science Centre, where it is hoped some of Gordon’s favourite science demonstrations will be performed by present and former staff. Gordon requested in lieu of flowers donations in memory can be made to the Big Little Science Centre. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Vernon Ervin Liebreich It is with great sadness that the family of Vernon Ervin Liebreich announces his passing after a brief battle with cancer on November 13, 2020 at 72 years of age. He was born on January 3, 1948, in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, the son of the late Ervin Liebreich and Margaret (Grace) McConnell. He was the middle child of 3 siblings. On December 29, 1984 he married his lifelong partner and sweetheart, Karen. Vern worked for Molson’s and Labatt’s for over 30 years before retiring in 2008 and moving to Tobiano. He was an athlete throughout his life and enjoyed playing baseball, hockey, golf, as well as fishing. Activities he enjoyed with his wife, sons, family, and many, wonderful friends. He was amazing with his hands and could fix or build anything. A talent which benefited all who knew him and soon morphed into a second career as a handyman. Vern’s trademarks were his wonderful smile with the everpresent toothpick, his amazing hands, and a myriad of baseball caps. Vern is survived by his loving wife, Karen of 35 years; sons Justin (Karissa) Liebreich and Dan Liebreich; two step-children Reese McBeth and Jodi McBeth; granddaughter Ruby Grace Liebreich; step-grandchildren Sarah, Sophina, Elijah and Ethan McBeth; step-great granddaughter Mya McBeth; and two sisters Judy (Dave) Woloschuk and Val (Bruce) Hawick. A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date TBD. In lieu of flowers, donations in Vern’s memory can be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 Phone: (250) 372-1336. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

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

Mary Jean Hayward Heaven gained another angel. Mary Jean Hayward transitioned to her place of eternal peace on October 25, 2020 at the age of 63. She passed peacefully at her home in Kamloops surrounded by her family, after a long and tough 9 year battle with brain cancer. Mary was born on June 16, 1957 in Whitehorse, Yukon and was a unique soul who touched the lives of so many. She was a devoted wife to her soul mate and husband Dave of 45 years, an amazing mom to her two daughters, Natalie and Sabrina, a Nana to her cherished grandchildren Cole and Sophie, a sister to her siblings Jim and Darlene, a sister-in-law, an Auntie to many nieces and nephews, and a dear, cherished friend to so many. Mary began her career in Fort Nelson, BC where she worked as the school youth worker at the local elementary school. Her love for children was unlike any other as she devoted her life to working with youth and families. When she moved to Kamloops in 1995, she started working with ICS, her career transitioned into a Family and conflict facilitator. Mary spearheaded her own program called NOVA. Nova was a conflict resolution program for families funded by MCFD. Nova was her most treasured accomplishment as she saw the change it created in the lives of both the parents and children with whom she worked with. When she wasn’t changing lives through her work, Mary was changing lives through her creativity. She had an incredible passion for writing and was a self published author who wrote many books, even after being diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumor. You may even have met her at one of her many book signings at Chapters in Sahali. (All her books can be found on Kindle). If she wasn’t sitting at the computer writing one of her many books, she was either sitting at her art table painting or you would find her in the garden. She was deeply passionate about her garden and spent hours upon hours making it look breathtakingly beautiful. Mary was a person of true and unforgettable kindness. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome and you always knew she believed in you more than you believed in yourself. She had a laugh that cannot be forgotten and she touched everyone’s soul who was lucky enough to meet her.

She will be deeply missed by so many. In respect to the current condition of Covid-19, there will not be a celebration of life for Mary until next summer, where we plan to celebrate on her birthday, in her garden. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Kamloops Food Bank Society or to: www.dyingwithdignity.ca

Harry Helmut Loerke

January 28, 1933 - October 27, 2020 It is with broken hearts that we announce the unexpected death of our Dad, in the early morning of October 27, 2020 at Royal Inland Hospital. He is survived by his three children - Marion (John), Ken, CorriAnn (Robert), three grandchildren - Janalea (Craig), Jeffrey (Candace), Marina (Scott), and five great-grandchildren, brother Alvin and two nephews - Paul (Pam) and Scott, as well as extended family and friends. He was pre-deceased by his wife Mary, in July 2019. Dad came to Canada from Poland at a young age. He made the long journey with his mother and younger brother to be re-united with extended family here in Kamloops. While adapting to his new life and learning the English language, he worked at a variety of jobs. He was a quick learner and honed his skills in many areas. He worked for the BC Government at Tranquille School in the laundry department. After 35 years of service, Dad retired as Assistant Laundry Manager, when the school closed. He was dedicated and loyal. Dad also had a small business at home doing Television, Radio and Electronic Repairs. He did this evenings and on weekends, working in his shop downstairs or doing house calls for on-site service. He had many loyal customers and many new ones, that heard of his business through word-of-mouth. In retirement, Dad and Mom tended their large property in Brocklehurst. This produced an abundance of fruit and vegetables to sell and share. They enjoyed travelling and camping. Most notable was their trip to Alaska and their excursion across Canada. Dad was proud of his family and followed their activities and accomplishments. He enjoyed family dinners and gatherings. He also enjoyed coffee outings along with a treat of fast food. Dad was a quiet, humble man and very kind and thoughtful to others. He was knowledgeable and skilled in many areas. He completed many household renovation projects. He was a very good cook and made the best homemade bread. He was master Sauerkraut maker at the annual event. He taught his daughters the method and process to ensure the tradition carried on. Dad had a keen interest in history and shared his knowledge of early days in Kamloops and British Columbia. Dad was main caregiver to Mom during her struggle with Dementia, until her passing in July 2019. In the last year, Dad dusted off his sewing machine and sewed a large amount of items, which he donated to the Hospice Home Charity. Most recently, he was busy sewing face masks for Hospice as well. His attention to detail was very apparent in each item. He sewed a total of 1,220 face masks and found this effort very rewarding. The family extends sincere appreciation to the paramedics and firemen, the doctors and nurses in Emergency and 7-North and Dr. Steyn for the outstanding care and compassion given to Dad during this difficult time. Thank you also to Dr. Bourdeau for your ongoing medical care over the years. Thank you to Erin at Drake Cremation for your kind and professional assistance with arrangements.

Dad, you will be missed. As he would say: “I’ll love you and leave you.” Rest in peace.

William Joseph Ross

November 27, 1922 - November 4, 2020 It is with great sadness our family bids farewell to our patriarch, Bill Ross. He died peacefully just weeks away from what would have been his 98th birthday. He was a beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He leaves behind his five children: Elizabeth Gordon (Lindsay Gordon), Helen Newmarch (Bruce Newmarch), Ian Ross (Cynthia Ross), Margaret Murphy (Cameron Murphy) and Catherine Ross. He was very proud of his seventeen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren who will continue to share his wonderful stories. We pray he is reunited now with our mom, Alena (née Budrawech) who died in 2007. Dad had a wonderful, long life. He was born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, part of a big, close clan of Rosses and MacDonalds. His youngest brother Edmund is now the only surviving member of their large family of six siblings. After his time in the air force Dad joined the CN Railway and leapt at an opportunity to work in Kamloops, British Columbia, which was the embodiment of his childhood dream of the “Great North Woods.” Love came next when he saw Alena at a dance, and they were married in 1951. During his long career with the CNR, Bill had many transfers across Canada but the most lifechanging for our family was the move to Zambia in 1969. Lifelong friendships were made there including the family’s beloved friend, Father Flavian (who later performed all the marriages for the siblings.) A move to Brazil soon followed. In 1976 Bill decided to return to Kamloops and go back to being a train engineer - a job he really enjoyed. Bill ended his career with one final overseas assignment in Colombia then settled into retirement back in Kamloops, with our mother by his side. Bill had always loved to fly but had not pursued it while his children were young. In retirement he finally got his Murphy Renegade ultralight airplane and met a wonderful new group of friends at “Knutsford International” where he built his hangar. In between looking after Mom and ferrying grandchildren to and from activities he spent golden hours flying and telling tall tales with other old fliers. As the years passed Dad eventually had to stop flying, but we are so glad he had this time. These are only the barest details of a good man’s life. He was an example to all his family of love, integrity and responsibility. His was truly a life to be celebrated. Many thanks to those who helped his family care for him these last few years, especially Alicia Pasqual. Due to Covid, a small private Catholic Funeral Mass was held for family, but we hope this notice reaches friends we haven’t been able to contact.

Think of Bill and raise a glass.

Arlee May (Gillies) Larson It is with sadness that we share the passing of Arlee May (Gillies) Larson at the age of 85, on November 8, 2020 in Abbotsford Regional Hospital, after a sudden worsening of a longstanding illness. Arlee was born on October 21, 1935, the youngest of five, to Archie and Lilly Gillies. She was born on the family farm near Big Beaver, Saskatchewan and attended school by horseback to the one room Redstone School. After high school she met and married Allen and followed him to the city where a few years later Becky, then Arne, then Leslie were born. The family then moved to northern Quebec first to Schefferville where Johanna and Michael were born, and then to Sept-Iles. Arlee was a fabulous cook, and excellent seamstress and the home was the full of her children and their friends. In 1985 they retired to Langley for a few years and then Kamloops where many happy years were passed with golfing, friends and grandchildren. In 2010 Allen and Arlee moved to Cedarbrooke Lodge in Mission. Though her illness made the last few years of her life a struggle, she was always smiling and friendly, visiting with her friends at social hour, playing bridge (and winning), getting to know everyone new who joined the Cedarbrooke family. She will be missed. She is survived and sorely missed by Allen her loving husband of 67 years; her sister Margaret Adams; her daughters Becky (Joseph Temple) of Fort St. John, BC; Leslie (Richard Caouette) of Sept-Iles, PQ; and Johanna (Tim Ulmer) of Mission, BC; her grandchildren Meredith, Eleanor and Claire Temple; Russell, Curtis and Stephanie Caouette (Marcel Vollant); Gabrielle and Max Ulmer; and Darcy Larson and her great-granddaughter Olivia Vollant; as well as many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. She is predeceased by her sons Arne and Michael, her brothers Charlie, Fred and George, and her parents Archie and Lillie. Due to the pandemic there will be no funeral. As Arlee struggled for more than 30 years with worsening lung function, we invite friends and family to make donations in her name to TB Vets BC at: www.TBVets.org

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you ﬁnd comfort... Karen Lee Bernadette Theresa O’Leary It is with great sadness that we write about the passing of Karen Lee Bernadette Theresa O’Leary (née Taylor), our Mother. She died on the first of November, in her 80th year. Karen left behind her four children, Steven (Marcia), Dawn (Teresa), Samantha (John), Anthony (Kyla), granddaughter Aurora, brother Tom, sister-in-law Kate, “sister” Betty (Woody), and many nieces, nephews and all their loved ones. She also left behind countless cherished friends. Although born and raised in Ontario, British Columbia would become the land that she loved and would call home. From Vancouver to Madeira Park, Parksville to Kamloops, she never entertained living anywhere other than in BC. Karen’s children were her driving force, pride, and joy. Through her examples of caring, loving, hard work, and independence she gave her children all the tools they would need to lead their own, unique lives. Her other great source of pride and joy were her big brothers Tom and Don. These two men made their little sister laugh, they looked out for her, and they always loved her for being her. For that, they always held a special spot in her heart. While Karen always had two big brothers, it was not until her early twenties that she would meet her “sister” Betty Adamson. Like peas and carrots these two women would forever be united by a special bond. Karen’s husband, love, friend, and confidant, Cy O’Leary, passed before she did, and this was a blow from which she never fully recovered. After Cy’s passing, she moved from Vancouver Island to spend her last years with her daughters Samantha and Dawn in the Kelowna and Kamloops area. A dear friend of hers described her as a force of nature, but even nature’s greatest forces have a finale. Karen’s finale was a long and drawn out affair but, true to her nature she never complained and fought to the very end. With her children’s and family’s blessings, their thanks for every selfless act and lesson taught, their unyielding love, and her daughters at her side Karen left her body behind and set her spirit free to wander wherever she so wishes. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you raise a glass of your favourite tipple, say her name three times, and wish her well wherever her path may take her.
