TEICHRIEB CIVILLY LIABLE In June 2016, Kristopher Teichrieb attacked Jessie Simpson, leaving the then-18-year-old with lifelong brain injuries. Teichrieb’s civl trial is set for January, where it will be determined what monetary costs he will bear TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The man who beat a Kamloops teen into a coma, leaving him with significant injuries from which he will never recover, has been found civilly liable by a B.C. Supreme Court Justice. Kristopher Teichrieb, who is in prison, was not present, neither in person nor by video or phone, for a brief hearing on Monday (Nov. 23) at which lawyers representing victim Jessie Simpson applied to have the 43-year-old Teichrieb found liable based on his previous criminal conviction. In 2018, Teichrieb was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated assault. His civil liability means that, for the purposes of a lawsuit filed on Simpson’s behalf, Teichrieb is responsible for any monetary damages or costs stemming from the attack and its aftermath. Then 18, Simpson was out celebrating the end of the school year on June 19, 2016, when he became separated from his group of friends. He wound up on Teichrieb’s property near the corner of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue in Brocklehurst. Teichrieb attacked Simpson

with a metal baseball bat and with his fists. According to witnesses, the bulk of the attack took place in the middle of the street after Simpson tried to run from Teichrieb. When police arrived on scene they found Teichrieb standing over a bloodied Simpson saying, “I got him.” In the weeks leading up to the attack, Teichrieb had threatened vigilante action after calling police to report a number of incidents of theft and trespassing. Police warned him not to take matters into his own hands. Simpson’s injuries were significant. He suffered serious brain injuries and will require 24-hour care for the rest of his life. His mom, Sue, and friends of the family continue to organize various fundraising activities, with a group
in Hope recently raising $2,000. Lawyers representing Simpson have accused Teichrieb of hiding assets after the attack, in anticipation of a lawsuit. Teichrieb is alleged to have sold his $587,000 Clifford Avenue house to his parents for $1 six months after the assault. Teichrieb’s civil trial is slated to get underway in B.C. Supreme Court on Jan. 11, 2021. He is expected to be self-represented. With Teichrieb’s liability having been determined by Justice Len Marchand, the only issues at trial will be monetary. Simpson’s lawsuit is seeking damages and care costs. Earlier this month, Teichrieb was denied parole. He will be eligible for statutory release on April 2, 2021.
More closures amid new provincial health orders JESSICA WALLACE

In the days after new pandemicrelated health orders were implemented late last week, many fitness studios were able to adapt to the new rules and remain open, including Kamloops Hot Yoga, No Limits Fitness and Orangetheory Fitness. While hot yoga, spin classes and group fitness classes were suspended in the Nov. 19 order, other group activities — such as dance classes, martial arts and cheerleading — were allowed to continue with approved COVID-19 safety plans. But that changed on Tuesday
with a revised order mandating all indoor group physical activities be suspended temporarily while new guidance is developed. These activities include gymnastics, dance studios, martial arts, yoga, pilates, strength and conditioning and cheerleading. The order states such venues must use the new guidance to update and re-post their COVID-19 safety plans before resuming operations. Gyms and recreation centres that offer individual workouts and personal training sessions can remain open if they follow their safety plans.

COVID-19 POLICY UPDATES
Council Calendar Public and media attendance via Zoom only until further notice
In response to the new public health orders issued by Dr. Bonnie Henry on November 20, the City has initiated some changes to its operations. Until further notice:
November 30, 2020 2:00 pm - Community Relations Committee Valley First Lounge, 300 Lorne Street
• Masks are now mandatory in common and public spaces in all civic buildings.
December 1, 2020 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting (cancelled) 7:00 pm - Public Hearing (cancelled) Valley First Lounge, 300 Lorne Street
• All committee, Committee of the Whole, and Council meetings and Public Hearings, and Public Hearings will be restricted to in-person attendance by Council and staff only. Members of the public and media can view and/or participate via Zoom.
December 8, 2020 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting Valley First Lounge, 300 Lorne Street
• The City has cancelled some high-intensity indoor fitness classes for the remainder of the fall season, including Strength Intervals, Cyclefit, HIIT, and TRX classes. Other classes may be modified to comply with new safety guidelines.
• Public engagement on all City projects will be virtual only.
December 10, 2020 9:00 am - Community Services Committee Valley First Lounge, 300 Lorne Street
The general message delivered by Dr. Henry is that we are deep within the second wave of this pandemic, and we all need to increase the safety measures we have been practising to break the COVID-19 transmission cycle. All individuals, places of work, and businesses in BC must significantly reduce their level of social interactions and travel.
December 14, 2020 1:30 pm - Civic Operations Committee Valley First Lounge, 300 Lorne Street December 15, 2020 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting 7:00 pm - Public Hearing Valley First Lounge, 300 Lorne Street

Council Meeting Recap Sign up for the Council Highlights e-newsletter at: Kamloops.ca/Subscribe
Snow and Ice Control on Municipal Properties On first-priority public properties that are maintained by City crews, snow and ice control is performed between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm whenever snow accumulation exceeds 2.5 cm (1”) or when ice conditions are observed or reported on walkways, entranceways, stairs, and fire exits. Municipal parking lots are cleared when snow accumulation exceeds 7.6 cm (3”). For more information, visit: Kamloops.ca/Snow
Dog Licence Renewals 2021 dog licence renewals were sent in early November. Renewals are due on December 30, 2020. As per Bylaw No. 34-11, all dogs six months or older within city limits require a licence. Renew your dog licence at Bylaw Services, City Hall, or online. For details, visit: Kamloops.ca/Dogs
WATCH FOR YOUR 2021 ANNUAL CALENDAR
GIVE LESS WASTE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
The 2021 annual calendar with the curbside collection schedule will be delivered in the December 2 edition of Kamloops This Week.
The holidays can generate an extraordinary amount of waste. Gift giving, decorations, cards, wrapping paper, and more—it all adds up. There are many ways you can reduce waste, including the following:
We received over 360 photo submissions and had the difficult task of selecting only 13 photos. Thank you to everyone who submitted their photographs. Calendars will be available for pickup at the following select City facilities after December 7: • City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West • Civic Operations, 955 Concordia Way • Tournament Capital Centre, 910 McGill Road To view the current curbside collection schedule, visit Kamloops.ca/Garbage. The 2021 annual calendar will be available for viewing on Kamloops.ca on December 2.
• Give experiences and wellness instead of "stuff". Memories last much longer than things. • Plan meals to avoid food waste. Freeze leftovers to make dishes such as stew and turkey soup. • Send love in an email instead of a card, reuse cards from prior years as gift tags, or send the same card back to the original sender and turn it into a fun tradition. • Wrap wisely and use reusable bags or cloth to wrap gifts instead of paper. For more seasonal waste reduction tips, visit: Kamloops.ca/WasteReduction

The Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association is a not-for-profit registered charity that provides therapeutic riding lessons to children and adults with diverse abilities, while also working with at-risk youth. The association is one of five organizations being helped this year by the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund. The association works with riders from throughout the ThompsonNicola region, with some riders coming as far as from Lillooet to participate. As a social enterprise, the association also provides a community riding program for Kamloopsians interested in getting on a horse. In a normal year, there would be between 80 and 100 participants per session, with a 12-week session in the spring and an eight-week session in the fall.
But 2020 has not been a normal year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “We were unable to do our 12-week spring session, so we did a small summer session for independent riders only,” said Ashley Sudds, executive director of the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association. But that meant numbers dropped to about 30 participants. The organization tried to offer a longer session in the fall — once again for independent riders — with a bit more success, managing close to 50 riders for those sessions. With lower numbers, and some of the horses nearing retirement, the therapy horse herd was downsized a bit. Sudds is hopeful the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund money can help improve the situation for the association in 2021, saying funds can go toward sponsoring a horse or perhaps sponsoring a rider or two who might have aged out of financial sup-
port for the program. but would still like to continue with it. The riding programs are tailored for each individual according to their diagnosis and the association is able to work with a variety of different individuals, including those who are in wheelchairs. “We have an electric lift,” Sudds said. “It can lift them out of their wheelchair.” Information on volunteering with the association, as well as rider information and information on the Parent A Horse program can be found on their website at www.ktra.ca People can also take a virtual tour of the facility online and get a chance to see what the location is all about. It’s also where people can go to find out how to support the group directly or to find out more about volunteering. For more information on the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association, go online to ktra.ca.

COVID CONFUSION REIGNS IN ORDERS
I
t would have been easier had Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry simply listed what can proceed, rather than what cannot continue, under her latest health orders concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. With changes to the rules seemingly happening daily, COVID-19 confusion is rampant, with many people not aware of what is, and what is not, permitted. Adding to a perplexed populace is what appears to be an inconsistent application of permissible and non-permissible events and activities. For example, a yoga class is against the rules, but working out with a personal trainer is allowed. Meeting family members who live with you in a restaurant or pub is fine, but sitting in a church with those same people is not permitted. Some have asked why the latter is considered more dangerous than the former when the composition of the groups would be the same. The confusion with the orders, meanwhile, extends from sports to theatres to social bubbles. Movie theatres remained open over the weekend, much the annoyance of some live theatre operators, as the interpretation of the Nov. 19 orders was that movie theatres could remain open. On Monday, Henry clarified that movie theatres should remain closed. Some junior hockey games proceeded after Henry said teams should stay in their health regions. Games were then shelved when it was clarified that teams should not leave their communities. What would help? How about a televised town hall with questions from reporters and the public? How about a simple, but exhaustive, FAQ online, with a method of giving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to activities typed into a search engine? Despite the confusion, the advice and orders boil down to wearing masks, staying home as much as possible and hanging out only with the people in your household.

Will a miracle await us?

ll the usual caveats apply: don’t go out and celebrate, don’t let your guard down, it’s still going to be a
long haul. This winter will be “hard,” warned Ugur Sahin, co-founder and CEO of BioNTech, the German company that, in conjunction with Pfizer, announced the first effective COVID-19 vaccine. But it can’t be rolled out fast enough to reduce infections much in the current wave, he said. The publication on Nov. 16 of positive results for a second vaccine, this time by the U.S. company Moderna, strengthened the optimism. Clearly, this novel coronavirus can be beaten and there are nine more potential vaccines already in third-stage (final) human trials. But again, the caution — there will be at least a half-million more COVID-19 deaths this winter, or in excess of a million if people don’t observe the lockdowns and other restrictions meant to contain the spread of the virus. “What is absolutely essential,” Sahin said, “is that we get a high vaccination rate before autumn/ winter next year.” That’s when it could really be over. And yet there is cause to celebrate because of the 11 vaccine candidates that were already in third-stage trials, both the frontrunners are messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines, an entirely new approach that allows a much faster response to novel viral infections. Traditionally, new vaccines took about 10 years to be developed,
GWYNNE DYER World
WATCH tested and approved for general use. For the new mRNA vaccines, it has been 10 months. RNA carries the genetic instructions from the nucleus of the cell to build whatever protein is needed and, for the past decade, researchers have been trying to fabricate messenger RNA that could be inserted into human cells. The mRNA would then use the cell’s own genetic machinery to make vaccines and other medically useful proteins. By 2018, several companies had cracked the problem of getting the mRNA past the body’s immune defences. With the full RNA sequence of the new coronavirus in their possession, all they had to do was choose which bit of the coronavirus RNA to use in the vaccine. Obviously not the whole thing or it would rebuild the entire virus in the cell. Just a harmless segment of the virus’s RNA, copied millions of times by the vaccinated person’s cells, would alert the body’s immune system and train it to
destroy any invading virus with that sequence. They chose the spike that the virus uses to attach itself to the human cell. Several companies had mRNA vaccines ready for testing within two or three months and the results have been spectacular. BioNTech/Pfizer has reported 95 per cent efficacy for its vaccine. Moderna has reported 94.5 per cent. Even better, both BioNTech/ Pfizer and Moderna included all major ethnic groups and a significant number of elderly people in their third-phase trials. All categories responded well to the vaccines, which is not always the case with other vaccines. The mRNA technique may mean that future pandemics can be dealt with far more quickly. The vehicle is already available and waiting to carry the next vaccine. Just plug and play for any future coronavirus, as one researcher put it. We have had three new coronaviruses in the past two decades. Pfizer boss Albert Boura went even further: “It’s the greatest medical advance in the past 100 years.” There are already trials underway for a wide variety of other illnesses — not just safer, more effective influenza, polio and HIV vaccines, but immunotherapies for cancer, heart conditions, cystic fibrosis and other systemic and congenital diseases. There is a long, dark winter still ahead of us, no doubt, but miracles may await us over the horizon. And we can now be sure that the light at the end of this particular tunnel is not an oncoming train.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DYNAMIC DUO DESERVES TO BE CONGRATULATED Editor: I went for a walk with my 10-year-old daughter at the beach by Kamloops Airport. We enjoy this place so much as it is, but on our recent walk, we came upon a remarkable couple and wanted to share with the rest of Kamloops that there are still good people out there. This phenomenal duo not only picks up all the bagged dog waste on their walk back to their car, but they also bag the dog waste that careless dog owners have left behind and also take it out with them. They said they fill at least a grocery bag full every day and they do it because they love the trail so much that they want others to be able to enjoy it as much as they do. If that is not an act of true selfishness and kindness, I don’t know what is. I truly hope that if that couple reads this, they know how much they inspired me to do my part and I hope others will be as motivated to at least clean up their own dog waste and dispose of it. Cindy Engler Kamloops
THANK YOU, RIH Editor: Recently, I found myself in Royal Inland Hospital and I want to give a shout out to everyone who helped me. From the paramedics to the nurses, surgeons, interns, radiologists, porters, housekeepers, custodians and support services. I experienced firsthand how Canada’s heath-care system is something that we can all be proud of and never take for granted. John Moss, Kamloops
GOODBYE, MR. GORDON GORE Editor: With the passing of Gordon Gore, Kamloops and the province have lost a very significant advocate and practitioner of science education. As a retired junior science and physics teacher from Kamloops, I can attest to his influence on my teaching over my career. Interestingly, when I was in grades 7 and 8 at John Oliver in Vancouver, Gore began his teaching career there. Unfortunately, I was not in any of his classes. He was a great advocate of hands-on activities as opposed to primarily reading or lecturing the ideas. Many of Gore’s practical suggestions appeared in the BC Science Teachers publications or textbooks. His workshops were outstanding. My two sons were fortunate to have Gore as their science teacher at Westsyde secondary. One went one to become a computer
science troubleshooter, while the other is head of CAT scans at Royal Inland Hospital. He always had the best interests of students at heart. He was renowned for his photos of students engaged at school, whether in sports, drama or grad ceremonies. Westsyde’s halls were lined with his photographs. He truly helped create a special culture at whatever school he taught. Upon retirement, Gore recruited me to the newly formed Big Little Science Centre in 2002. He had begun the project out of the trunk of his car at various elementary schools. David Thompson elementary eventually supplied two classrooms. Over the following years, the science centre expanded to occupy most of Happyvale elementary. Gore’s delight with “doing” science sparkled in his many different shows,
accompanied by his humour, wit and surprise. He always invited people, especially the kids, to assist him with the show. Many of the items in the hands-on area were of his making or design. He leaves a very big hole at the science centre for the rest of us to fill. Unfortunately, Gore was diagnosed with ALS, which progressed slowly. Even from his wheelchair, he regularly designed and participated in workshops, continued to take photographs and edited more than 300 newsletters. Up until recently he was a regular visitor to The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Course, where he photographed the local wildlife. Many of his former students and colleagues, and the people of Kamloops, will miss this giant of science enthusiasm who we were privileged to know and experience. Eric Wiebe Kamloops
GORDIE WAS A GENUINE COMMUNITY SUPERHERO Editor: It is perhaps a sad irony that Gordon Gore passed away at this particular time of great personal and social challenges in our lives. As we all struggle to understand our relationships with each other, in light of physical distancing, masks and this crazy altered universe we live in, we can boast of having a homegrown superhero, a superb example of real community in our midst who is sadly no more.
Gordie, as we knew him, knew all about the importance and significance of connecting with each other as individuals and as community — and he recorded it all. Gordie had many grand and prestigious teaching awards, but was an exemplar teacher in other significant ways of which he was not even aware. Gordie forged his own path. He recognized the importance of our innate human connectedness to each other, a lesson
we are all still learning. He did it with his camera, with his strong sense of community and with his love of people and the world around him. Before the Big Little Science Center, there was another Gordie Gore. As Westsyde residents for 35 years, we knew Gordie and he knew us as a family. We knew him through his profession as a science and physics teacher, but also through his dedication to gathering an archival library of the

There appears to be more to the story regarding a Logan Lake treatment centre transporting clients to a shelter in Kamloops, as was noted last week by city staff. VisionQuest Recovery Society executive director Megan Worley said such transportation occurs infrequently as a “last resort.” Meanwhile, the shelter operator who flagged the issue to the city said the actions are inappropriate, regardless of how many people are dropped off, due to a lack of local shelter space and housing. Worley told KTW VisionQuest has transported discharged clients from its facility in Logan Lake to shelters on West Victoria Street on two occasions in the past four months. For context, last year, VisionQuest had 300 people come in and out of its facility. Worley explained the discharge process depends on the reason and needs and desires of the client. If someone chooses to leave and staff cannot convince them otherwise, they are taken to a nearby shelter. “The reason that we do that is because we’re 40 minutes in the middle of nowhere. It’s a long walk for them. We don’t want them to freeze to death and we’re actually required by the assistant living registry to ensure that our clients, when they leave, go to a safe place whenever they can,” Worley told KTW. “We obviously can’t stop them from walking and sometimes they do. But, we are required to take them somewhere, so we take them to a 24-hour shelter where they have access to services. That’s pretty much it. It is a last resort, but it’s the only choice we have at that point.” Canadian Mental Health Association executive director Alfred Achoba, however, said dropping individuals coming out of recovery off at a shelter is inappropriate, no matter the number or frequency. The CMHA operates the Emerald Centre shelter on West Victoria Street. Achoba wants VisionQuest to change its mandate to ensure housing is secured after discharge and does not include shelters. “When we look at recovery, people need to have a clean place to go to after they’re done treatment,” Achoba said. “The shelter, given that it’s low barrier, it’s not really ideal for someone to go to treatment and then get discharged into a shelter. We want them to move into housing. I think that’s the gap here is VisionQuest is not really fulfilling their obligation when it comes to ensuring people have housing after recovery and after treatment. “They need to look at how they can change their mandate to ensure that if an individual is coming to treatment, they already have housing secure or they work with that individual to make sure they have a safe place to go to after they are discharged — and that doesn’t include shelter. Achoba said the Emerald Centre has a wait list for housing, adding “it doesn’t sit well to me” knowing a person from outside Kamloops is occupying space that should be set aside for a Kamloops resident who has

been waiting to get into housing. The city’s social and community development supervisor, Ty Helgason, clarified the transportation method used by VisionQuest is not a bus, but is, in fact, a red minivan. He said the city regularly hears claims about actions surrounding service providers and looks into them, most often coming back unfounded. In this situation, Helgason said, security patrolling West Victoria Street spotted the van dropping people off in the area. The city subsequently spoke with the CMHA and the CMHA flagged the issue in late September or early October. “I don’t think CMHA really knew anything about it,” Helgason said. “They were just receiving these mystery clients and not really sure where they were coming from. Then, we got a description of the vehicle and we had everyone looking out for it trying to figure out what was going on. We found out that it was VisionQuest then, dropping people off.” Asked how often the van was coming and how many people it included, Achoba said it was random and not often. People were dropped off nearby, either by the Mustard Seed Kamloops or at the city’s mini-storage facility for homeless, both on West Victoria Street. He took umbrage with numbers provided by Worley to KTW, noting he saw the minivan a few times in one week. “I don’t believe that’s accurate,” Achoba said of VisionQuest’s report that there have been two dropoffs in the past four months. “The reason I say that is we’ve seen it multiple times. Personally, I’ve seen it multiple times, just with our camera. It’s possible they are dropping people off who have indicated they have a place to go, but those individuals might not and then they show up at the shelter.” Helgason added VisionQuest also brings people to Kamloops in certain circumstances, such as late on a Friday when there is a desire to not drive longer distances. Achoba said part of the CMHA’s mandate to accept individuals into the shelter is the person has to have a previous living arrangement or a housing placement. If not, the agency can’t take the individual. Helgason said the city recently sent a delegation, including members of city administration, two councillors and Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky, to visit VisionQuest. Helgason said the group sat down with the organization’s management and the city asked its clientele to only be brought to Kamloops when absolutely necessary and that the organization communicates with the local shelter when it does happen. VisionQuest also recently appeared before city council as a delegation, at which time councillors asked the organization about its discharge process and the organization said it needed for more funding. Worley said the organization receives negative press, given stigma around the clientele with which it works. Helgason said the organization does great work. “That’s one piece out of the context that’s been missed in a lot of the coverage — is that we certainly appreciate the work that they do and we know how important that part of the system is, giving people a place to go through their recovery is very important.”

The Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre will remain open in 2021 without service reductions, following pleas from the neighbourhood to keep the facility open. During budget talks on Tuesday, council rejected changes to the facility’s schedule to pinch pennies next year amid the pandemic. “We’re in a good place right now,” Coun. Arjun Singh said, alluding to the provisional property tax increase. “We don’t necessarily need to reduce hours.” This past summer, city staff suggested the costcutting measure of closing the pool and fitness centre in 2021(once the Canada Games Aquatic Centre reopens after work there is completed) after council asked that next year’s tax increase be kept as close to zero per cent as possible. Sitting at a provisional tax rate increase of about a half per cent increase on Tuesday, council was provided with a list of potential cuts, includ-
ing reducing hours at the pool and gym in Westsyde, closing it for part of the year or closing it entirely in 2021. The cuts would have amounted to between $200,000 and $640,000 in savings, depending on the option, which in and of itself could have depleted the proposed tax increase altogether. Council heard the facility is heavily subsidized, compared to the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. Council also heard most of the money the city spends via its budget is on services such as policing and water, so it is difficult to find significant cost savings elsewhere. “It [Westsyde Pool reductions] is a large amount that could offset taxes if council wanted to offset taxes,” the city’s corporate services director, Kathy Humphrey, told council. Residents, meanwhile, opposed the idea, as previously reported by KTW. Coun. Dale Bass said she has been deluged with people who want the facility to remain open in 2021 and noted residents are “tired” of
having to fight for their pool. Coun. Singh said usage has increased since the city proposed to shutter the pool in recent years, suggesting residents rose to the challenge previously made by the city. Coun. Sadie Hunter added it is difficult to increase patron numbers when the facility is constantly closing and that it would benefit from consistency. Coun. Mike O’Reilly and Coun. Denis Walsh, meanwhile, showed interest in reducing services to varying degrees. Walsh suggested closing the pool in summer months, when the Brock outdoor pool would be in operation, leaving the gym space status quo. O’Reilly noted other facilities, such as arenas and community centres, have had hours cut back amid the pandemic. The pool conversation is only coming up now, he said, because the Canada Games Aquatic Centre is set to reopen in early January. He suggested reducing hours at Westsyde, which would provide cost

savings of $200,000 for reduced labour costs. Neither idea gained traction. O’Reilly’s motion failed in a vote of 8-1 and Singh then put forward a motion for the facility to essentially remain operating as is. The motion passed by a vote of 8-1, with O’Reilly opposed. Memorial Arena will also remain open after council voted against a temporary closure
from January to August to provide cost savings of $220,000. The facility is currently being utilized by BC Housing for emergency shelter space. However, that space is expected to move to the adjacent Kamloops Curling Centre on Dec. 1. SOME CUTS Beginning in 2022, residents will no longer receive a City of Kamloops calendar in the
mail after council voted to produce the calendar in-house on a requestonly basis at a cost savings of $25,000. The calendar includes local photography, garbage days and other city-related information, including tax deadlines. The 2021 calendar will still arrive in the next week or so, as previously planned. Other cost-saving measures will include temperature changes in
civic facilities and eliminating street light checks for an estimated 4,500 city street lights, Overall savings approved bring the provisional tax rate increase down to 0.28 per cent. However, that could change because council also agreed to have staff bring forward supplemental budget requests in the new year, which include up to 0.3 per cent worth of tax hikes.

Thus far, influenza level in B.C. remains low MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Although COVID-19 infections are on the rise in B.C., the level of influenza circulating appears to be low, Minister of Health Adrian Dix said during an update on Monday. Despite the increased amount of testing, indicators of influenza activity remain exceptionally low for this time of the year based on national and provincial surveillance, Dix said. “To date, there’s no evidence of influenza circulating in B.C. communities and no longterm care facility influenza outbreaks have been reported so far in 2020-21,” Dix said. As of Nov. 23, there have been 2,027,000 doses of this year’s flu vaccine distributed by the BC Centre for Disease Control to health authorities in the province. As of that date, at least 1,069,542 doses of flu vaccine have been administered to people. “This is an extraordinary achievement,” Dix said.
As of Nov. 23, pharmacists have distributed 808,001 doses, up from 518,025 last year. The number of flu vaccines administered at doctors’ offices is up by 100,000 over this time last year, Dix said. Interior Health medical health officer Dr. Carole Fenton said data from South Africa and Australia shows that COVID-19 distancing protocols may have been effective in creating fewer flu cases during flu season in the Southern Hemisphere. Fenton said the peak of flu season is typically the last week of December and first week of January, noting people should get vaccinated now, noting the flu vaccine is being emphasized this year to relieve the stress of influenza on the health-care system amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Interior Health has been given 300,000 doses of this year’s flu vaccine from the BCCDC. The health authority is not offering mass flu clinics this year to avoid crowds amidst the pandemic,
Another flight with COVID-19 passenger Another WestJet flight from Calgary touched down in Kamloops this month, carrying someone with COVID-19. The infected person arrived in Kamloops on WestJet flight 3111 on Nov. 15 and anyone sitting in rows 12 through 18 could have been potentially exposed, according to the BC Centre for Disease Control website at bccdc.ca. Passengers who were in those rows should monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19. Since March, passengers seated near a person with a confirmed case — recognized after arrival — are not directly notified of their potential exposure. Instead, that information is posted online at bccdc.ca. Those with COVID-19 symptoms are asked to self-isolate and to call 811 if they have questions. The Nov. 15 flight is the third reported to have landed at YKA with a confirmed COVD-19 case this month. WestJet flight 3111 from Calgary landed on Nov. 7 with someone on board having tested positive for COVID-19. Someone aboard Air Canada flight 8194 that arrived in Kamloops on Nov. 6 also tested positive.
but family doctors and pharmacies have ordered more vaccine doses than ever
to close the gap. According to the BC Centre for Disease Control, last year’s flu
vaccine was 58 per cent effective for the 20182019 influenza season and 72 per cent effec-
tive in 2017-2018. Vaccine effectiveness is the percent reduction in the fre-
quency of influenza illness among vaccinated people compared to people not vaccinated.

According to the Nov. 18 statement, the Walmart associate last worked on Oct. 31. Asked why Walmart did not make the case public, Grachnik said the company takes a number of actions when there is a confirmed COVID-19 case, including informing public health authorities. “We respond transparently to requests received about the number of confirmed cases in stores, distribution centres or officer from customers or media,” he said. Meanwhile, Grachnik cited the following COVID-19 safety measures: increased cleaning, wellness and temperature checks, limiting customer numbers, Plexiglas dividers at registers desks and pharmacies, floor markings to encourage physical distancing and mandatory mask use.

A second employee also reported they had been exposed to COVID-19 and were considered to be presumed positive. “Out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made to close the restaurant for a thorough cleaning and sanitization by a certified third-party cleaning company,” the statement reads. “The restaurant has since re-opened and has resumed regular business hours.” McDonald’s Canada said all crew members who have been in close contact with the employees have been asked to self-isolate until further information is available. The employees’ last shifts were on Nov. 14, from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., and on Nov. 17, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The company is advising those who may have visited the restaurant during those times to take advice from the BC Centre for Disease Control’s website at bccdc.ca. “Maintaining the health and well-being of our employees and guests is our top priority and we will continue to monitor and adapt measures, where necessary,” the McDonald’s statement reads. “We continue to work with the public health authorities to support

An employee at Highland Valley Copper mine has tested positive for COVID-19. The employee is a mill maintenance worker who was last at the mine site about an hour southwest of Kamloops on Nov. 16. That day was also the only shift the person worked at the site dating back to Nov. 6, the mine’s parent company Teck said in an update posted to its website on Nov. 19. The employee is believed to have contracted COVID-19 as a result of an off-site exposure and contact tracing has been completed, with no close contacts of the infected person having been identified, according to the company. In the update, interim general manager Jason Sangha said workers who were not contacted do not need to self-isolate, but all employees are asked to monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 — such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing — at all times. This is the second known case of the virus at the mine site. In September, a contract worker who was on site for about three days tested positive.

Pictures with ol’ Saint Nick are still in the works for a pair of Kamloops malls this Christmas season, but those plans remain in limbo due to new provincial health orders to curb the spread of COVID-19. Both Aberdeen and Sahali malls plan to organize photos with Santa and have a number of health and safety protocols to implement to make the event possible this year. Due to new health orders that are in effect until at least Dec. 7, Aberdeen Mall has delayed its visits with Santa that were to begin on Saturday, Nov. 28. Those photos will begin on Dec. 8, pending approval from health officials. At Sahali Mall, pictures with Santa were to begin on Dec. 3, but that will likely have to be
moved back a few days due to the new orders on events. Neither Lansdowne nor Northills Mall will have photos with Santa Claus offered this year due to COVID-19 health concerns. Given all the events cancelled by COVID-19 this year, Sahali Mall manager Len Robinson told KTW the mall wanted to come up with a plan to keep this annual one off the nixed list. “We felt we would try it out anyways for the kids,” Robinson said. “It’s a pretty abnormal year.” Sahali Mall plans to have photos with Santa by appointment only to avoid long lineups. Masks could be temporarily removed for the photos, which would take place with Santa and guests in their own seats separated by Plexiglass, with cleaning between visits. If permitted to move ahead,
the plan at Aberdeen Mall also involves taking photos with the man in the red suit behind Plexiglass, with separate seating for guests. Cleaning protocols, floor decals to keep people six feet apart and online appointment bookings would be in place and the Santaland set moved into one of the mall’s empty units as opposed to the centre court area, to allow foot traffic to move more freely. Customers will also need to answer a health questionnaire before entering the set, which will have occupancy limits. Aberdeen Mall is also planning a virtual option for people to visit with Santa. Prior to the new health orders, the mall stated people would be allowed to line up to see Santa, as long as they wore a mask, which are now required in all indoor businesses. Masks could then be removed while taking the picture.

Poker game shut down under new COVID rules PINEVIEW VALLEY HOMEOWNER FOLDS AFTER POLICE BUST FULL HOUSE; $3K TICKET FOR GAME INCLUDING NINE PEOPLE TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The host of a card game in his house has been fined more than $3,000 for contravening pandemic-related health orders. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Darren Michels said officers responded to a home in the 1800-block of Hugh Allan Drive in
Pineview Valley following a complaint of an illegal gambling event. Michels said officers arrived at 1 a.m. on Friday (Nov. 20) — just 10 hours after Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry issued new provincewide health orders that included no gatherings of people outside of those living in a home.
“Upon arrival, police officers discovered a very uncooperative homeowner who was hosting a card game around a table with nine others who did not live in the home,” Michels said. “Contrary to COVID-19 restrictions of no guests in your home, the participants were not social distanced, not wearing masks and
no sanitation stations were available.” Michels said the 37-year-old homeowner was allegedly very unco-operative and was subsequently arrested for obstructing the police officers. He was released after the card players dispersed and was issued several fines as
a result of his actions contrary to the public health order: • Contravention of gatherings and events order ($2,300); • Fail to comply with direction from enforcement officer ($230); • Promote or encourage attendance at non-compliant
gathering or event ($230); • Abusive or belligerent behaviour ($230). “It is disheartening when our police officers have to attend such gatherings, putting themselves at risk of catching COVID-19 and bringing it home to their families when
it can be avoided,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky said. “The uncooperative nature of the homeowner just makes this even more troublesome. Our priority is to educate people to change their behaviour for the safety of everyone.”
CHARGE LAID IN MCGILL CRASH TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A charge has been laid in connection with a crash last year near the campus of Thompson Rivers University that killed a pedestrian. Lucy Phua, a 54-year-old university employee, was crossing McGill Road at University Drive on Nov. 15, 2019, when she was struck by a pickup. She died at the scene. The crash took place at about 5:30 p.m., after sunset. It is believed the truck that struck Phua was turning left from the Landmark development onto McGill Road. At the time, police said the driver
remained on the scene and was cooperative with investigators. There was no indication the driver was speeding or impaired at the time of the crash. Phua’s death sparked an online petition seeking safety upgrades for McGill Road. Earlier this year, city officials unveiled a strategy for improvements along the corridor, which could lead to lowered speed limits or lighting upgrades. David Matthew Tucker, 42, is facing one count of driving without due care and attention, an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act. He is expected to make his first appearance in Kamloops provincial court on Dec. 7.

Support for the B.C. NDP on Kamloops’ North Shore and through the mail nearly scuttled the B.C. Liberal hopes for another red October in the Kamloops-North-Thompson riding. Incumbent Liberal MLA Peter Milobar won re-election in the Oct. 24 provincial election, earning a second term by just 196 votes over NDP challenger and city councillor Sadie Hunter. According to poll by poll results from election-atlas.ca, the NDP saw far more support at Kamloops-based polling stations in 2020 than in the 2017 election. In 2017, NDP candidate Barb Nederpel won at just five polls: in Brocklehurst, North Kamloops, Westsyde and Rayleigh. Milobar won at 41 polls. In 2020, Hunter and the NDP won at 24 polling stations in those areas and the vote was tied at two polling stations. Milobar and the Liberals won at 20 Kamloops polling stations, which were mostly in the more rural areas of Westsyde and Rayleigh. Rural polling stations in areas such as Sun Peaks, Clearwater and Barriere predominantly went to the Liberals in
both 2017 and 2020 elections, as did the poll on the Tk’emlups reserve. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots and advance votes in 2020. The mail-in vote went to Hunter, who accumulated 49 per cent (2,278 votes) of those ballots, compared to Milobar’s 37 per cent (1,701 votes). Hunter also won at the advance poll in North Kamloops, with 1,702 votes (46 per cent), compared to Milobar’s 1,415 (38 per cent), but lost everywhere else. Milobar won the advance vote at the Barriere Lyons Club (48 to 30 per cent over Hunter), at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 259 (49 to 28 per cent) and on the Tk’emlups reserve — which all measured in the hundreds of ballots. Overall, there were 22,787 ballots cast in the riding. Milobar finished with 9,341 votes (41 per cent of the vote), followed by Hunter with 9,145 votes (40 per cent of the vote). Provincially, the NDP won a majority, with 57 of 87 seats in the legislature. The Liberals have 28 seats, including both Kamloops area ridings, while the Greens will sit with two seats.

Amid rent-related lawsuits elsewhere, Kamloops’ Bay store remains open MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Bay in Coquitlam is closed due to non-payment of rent, while the company is the subject of lawsuits in Central Canada. While the Hudson’s Bay Co. store in Coquitlam Centre is closed, with a letter from mall management posted in the door indicating rent has not been paid, the company’s store in Kamloops remains open. The iconic national retailer is facing financial hardship amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with lawsuits in Ontario and Quebec alleging months-long non-payment of rent in various malls. At Aberdeen Mall, it appears as though it is business as usual for now. When asked for the status of Hudson’s Bay Co. in the mall, marketing and speciality leasing manager Kristi
Williams said she could not comment, noting business dealings — including lease payments — between businesses and mall ownership are not open for public discussion. Like many retailers, Hudson’s Bay Co. has struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has decreased foot traffic in traditional shopping centres and pushed people to do more of their shopping online. Earlier this month, a judge ordered the company to pay half the rent it owes on its store in Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, Ont., an amount worth $659,395, equivalent to 50 per cent of rent on the property that went unpaid for the months from April to October. The owners of the mall attempted to evict Hudson’s Bay from the mall, but the company filed an injunction to prevent that from happening. The interim ruling from Ontario Superior Court Justice Glenn
Hainey prohibits the mall owner from ending HBC’s lease, for now, with the final outcome of the case to be determined after a hearing on the merits of each side’s claims. In a statement responding to the interim ruling, Ian Putnam, president and chief executive officer of HBC Properties and Investment, said the court recognizes the need for a fair sharing of the burden of the pandemic. In a statement, he said HBC is grateful the court “has recognized the extraordinary challenges of the global pandemic and how the burden can be shared fairly and lawfully, especially as it relates to nonessential retailers.” Putnam added that the majority of the company’s landlords across Canada have “reached mutually acceptable agreements” with the company. — with files from Canadian Press

Orangetheory Fitness, meanwhile, is known for its high-intensity exercise classes. It remained open by reclassifying itself as a gym. Orangetheory manager Tara Sales explained that members book allotted gym time slots similar to how they would book a class in the past and Orangetheory provides equipment for people to use at their own discretion. Members have the option to scan a QR code to access a wide range of workouts provided by Orangetheory digitally. “Members come in and scan and they run through templates on their own,” Orangetheory manager Tara Sales said. “A coach can’t actually coach them. Members have to coach themselves now. You’re coming in and working through it on your own.” Orangetheory also decommissioned some equipment and reduced capacity. Cleanliness continues to be a top priority, with Sales noting members have communicated desire to attend the studio for that reason. For those who don’t feel comfortable coming into the studio in person, however, Orangetheory will in the next couple of weeks be offering a new online platform, with live coaching. Meanwhile, Oxygen Yoga and Fitness Kamloops owner Dina McLeod told KTW through tears after the announcement that she was “devastated” by news of the order prohibiting hot yoga until at least Dec. 7. “It is a gut punch like I didn’t expect,” she said. McLeod said the studio has closed and she worries about her clients’ physical and mental well-being. “We have people on che-

For more COVID-19 news, go onine to kamloopsthisweek. com motherapy who come in for infrared therapy because we’re an infrared heated studio,” she said. “We’ve got people who struggled with their mental health during the closure. That’s why I taught a bunch of classes live for free just to stay connected. I don’t know how some of these people will do.” McLeod is also concerned about her finances. She said the studio was already operating at half capacity, despite overhead remaining the same. It also closed for 77 days in the spring, due to health orders, from mid-March to June 1. Her 15 staff mostly work at the studio on the side of fulltime jobs. McLeod, however, said she has already put everything into surviving the first closure, including leaning on credit cards. Adding to the stress is uncertainty. She doesn’t know when she’ll be allowed to reopen. “I don’t know how we survive it,” she said. “I don’t know if they reopen us in two weeks. She [Dr. Bonnie Henry] wasn’t very clear.” Samantha Gibson, who owns K-Spin downtown on Seymour Street, said she will comply with the order, but would prefer to keep her doors open with enhanced COVID-19 measures in place. “I do think it’s extremely unfortunate,” she said. “I also teach at Barre Kamloops and I know that both the studios have extremely high standards in their cleaning and screening of clients. We’ve been open for the past six months with no transmission. “Yes, it is a risk, but I feel
like there’s something to be said for the safety protocols we have in place.” Gibson, who opened her studio three years ago, shuttered K-Spin for more than three months earlier this year during the spring COVID-19 wave. Since re-opening, the studio has been running at 50 per cent capacity — 10 riders at a time. “It already has hurt our business,” she said. “We’ve been running the last six months at half capacity. Being a small business owner is tough enough in these times, but running at half capacity — we’re thankful to have strong support from our clients.” When the pandemic first closed K-Spin’s doors in March, Gibson rented 10 of her 20 bikes to clients, keeping a sliver of revenue coming in each month. She said she’ll do the same again. “It’s better than nothing,” she said. “But, again, I do feel like it’s a risk you should be able to take, like going to the gym or going to the grocery store.” Henry also introduced a new order mandating mask wearing in indoor public and retail spaces, including employees and customers, except while eating or drinking at a table. When entering a business or leaving the table, masks must be worn by customers. Masks need not be worn at desks at workplaces, but must be worn by employees when they move about the workplace. The order does not apply to children under the age of two years old. Events, including art shows, music and theatre performances, movie theatre screenings, performative arts, and similar events are prohibited. In addition, all social gatherings must be restricted to household members — those in your “core bubble” — only. Social gatherings of any size, even outdoors, are prohibited.

Pandemic plays Grinch to Westmount Whoville plans TODD SULLIVAN
LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE
todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
This year was already looking like it might be the final outing for the folks behind Whoville Kamloops, but due to recent tightening of COVID19 restrictions, whether the holiday event will be able to be held at all remains as mysterious as defining the species to which The Grinch belongs. Sue and Randy Adams, Westsyde residents better known at this time of year as the Mayor of Whoville and His Wife, are communicating with
Interior Health to determine what options might be available if the current gathering restrictions are lifted after Dec. 7. Until midnight in that date, provincewide health orders limit groups to household residents only and prohibit any other indoor or outdoor gatherings. For now, it looks like public visits to Whoville may not be in the cards for 2020. The couple has had a Whovillethemed yard since 2016 and, since 2018, has been inviting the public to visit. The plan for this year was to allow people to book visits in
advance, limiting the number of people wandering through the Whoville experience to 20 at a time, with a total of 80 visitors over the course of the evening. The schedule would allow for cleaning and sanitization between visitor groups. The pre-arranged visits would also have prevented some of the overcrowding experienced toward the end of the celebration in 2019. “On our final night, it got a little bit out of hand,” Sue said. “Too many people came through.” Traditionally, admission is the donation of a lightly used children’s
book — to be given to Literacy in Kamloops — and Adams said that even if they can’t open Whoville this year, they will continue to take donations from anyone who wants to make them. “I will have a place at my house for drop off in the front where the books will be quarantined,” she said. “I will also take cash donations from anyone who wishes to contact me directly about that and ensure they get to Literacy in Kamloops.” The Mayor of Whoville and wife can most easily be contacted through the Whoville Kamloops Facebook page.
Festival trees felled
Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA 150 Wood Street Kamloops, BC V2B 0G6
With new provincewide health orders leading to more restrictions on gatherings, many events in November and December have been postponed or cancelled. One such event that falls into the latter category is the Festival of Trees, an annual endeavour held to raise money for, and awareness of, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. The event was to have taken place from Dec. 11 to Dec. 13, hosted by Berwick on the Park and Uptown Chefs Catering and Events and held at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. The Festival of Trees sees businesses buy in for $250 and decorate a Christmas tree. Public admission is by donation and visitors vote on their favourite trees. Those who would like to support the Kamloops Hospice Association is invited to donate the equivalent of the cost they would have incurred in visiting the Festival of Trees, either as a cash donation or by purchasing items on the association’s wish list. The wish list can be found online at kamloopshospice.com/contribute/wish-list.

Fresh St. Market opens its doors KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Kamloops’ newest grocery store opened in Aberdeen Mall on Sunday morning (Nov. 22). Fresh St. Market is the latest addition to the food market in the city and becomes the third store to fill space left vacant when Sears closed in 2017. Fresh St. Market, at 40,000 square feet, joins Old Navy and Marshalls in the repurposed space on the south side of the mall. Fresh St. Market now has six stores in B.C., including four in the Lower Mainland and one in Whistler. Mark McCurdy, vice-president of retail operations, said Fresh St. is meant to be
more than a grocery store and focuses on fresh products and a shopping experience not found elsewhere, in a market environment. He said the opening the store this month, amid a second wave of COVID-19 that has led to new health orders provincewide, was a goal the company maintained would be achieved. “As a grocery store, as an essential service, we recognized we’d be open,” he said. Store leader Glenn Hyokki said there are 130 full- and part-time staff at the store, with McCurdy noting the staff at the Kamloops store represented “probably the best hire”
ever undertaken by Fresh St. The Kamloops store, located on lower level of the mall and with outside access, has a contemporary layout, with myriad departments including deli, bakery, meat, seafood, flowers, bulk foods, produce, cheese, ready-to-eat meals and a sushi and poke bar. As with its five other stores, Fresh St. carries a good amount of organic and local and regional products. Fresh St. Market is owned by H.Y. Louie Co. a 117-year-old firm that also owns London Drugs and IGA and Marketplace IGA stores in B.C. Georgia Main, H.Y. Louie’s food division, operates the Fresh St. Market stores.

COMMUNITY
Kamloops Y,” Kamloops YMCAYWCA CEO Colin Reid said. “She lived a life where she contributed to individual and community health. “ Joan was a regular participant in Y activities and she was keen to share her thoughts about how the Y was serving the community and she was always willing to do her part. Her gift is a legacy that has come at just the right time and it is an example of her belief in being a steward for future generations.” Brian died in 2016 and was greatly missed by Joan, but her life and work continued and she was actively involved with the RiverBend community in Brocklehurst as the blood pressure go-to-person and as the columnist for About Your Health in the Mainstream newsletter. Joan was also a regular member of the aquafit classes at the Kamloops Y.
Looking at the prospect of spending even more time indoors, many of us are feeling like we’ve been waiting too long already. There’s still more to go, but together we can overcome. Be comforted in the reminder that the health and wellbeing of our loved ones — including our canine companions — remains the focal point of why we are making these sacrifices, and in looking at our furry friends for inspiration, there are ways we can boost our wellbeing and strengthen our endurance during this stressful time: get exercise daily, cuddle as a way of staying connected, play games, or slow down with meditation and deep breathing. Strive for optimism, and don’t forget the simple act of practicing appreciation. Like exercise, activities of mindfulness and expressing gratitude need to be practiced on a regular basis to keep the brain’s positive outlook in good shape, but the effort is definitely worth it. Understanding ourselves as individuals, as citizens within a broader population, and as part of a prosperous and caring community, these acts of mindfulness are what drive us to be the best version of ourselves. It is with this spirit of promoting public safety and community citizenship that is at the core of Search, Rescue, and Detection K9s of British Columbia.
JOURNEY
Staying safe outdoors and around others has become second nature to our changing routines, and as we transition to spending more time indoors, we realize that it means something extra special to have a place to call home. A space to be safe and to reconnect with what really matters is critical, especially for the working dog teams that search, rescue, and detect to make our lives better. Such a resource, a training ground for staying connected and being there for individuals, families, and our community, has recently been offered to allow us to keep calling Kamloops home and to continue serving this vibrant place.
NEW HOME
Our canine command post will allow us to remain in the local Thompson-Nicola region. SRD K9s of BC is proud to be able to continue serving the province of British Columbia from the Central Interior, allowing handlers and their dogs to learn, love, and grow in the Kamloops community. The value of giving back is ingrained in our mission, and this has been nurtured by the incredible gifts bestowed upon us by others that share an equally potent sense of community.

JOAN WILSON
ORGANIZATION
inclusion
Joan Wilson, a longtime Kamloops resident who died earlier this year, left legacy gifts to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation and the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA — in the form of $100,000 donations to each. In 1953, Joan and husband Brian moved to Canada from England in search of a better life, settling in Kamloops, where they lived for more than 60 years. Brian worked in various businesses in the city, including in the meat department at the old Woodward’s department store downtown, where the BC Lottery Corporation headquarters is now located. Joan was a nurse and worked at Royal Inland Hospital before moving to public health, rising through the ranks to become head nurse of the health unit on the North Shore. Joan estimated that in her career as a midwife in both England and Canada, she delivered more than 2,000 babies. She was also an experienced reflexologist, treating patients who were looking for alternative treatments. Joan was also an educator, teaching the community about public health issues. Joan and Brian lived on a small ranch, raising horses, hiking, gardening, skiing and golfing. “Joan Wilson was a longtime member, supporter, leader and general cheer leader for the
Giving back was Joan’s way of showing her appreciation to the community. As she was quoted in the Mainstream: “I hope that our citizens never lose the special ‘thing’ that makes Canadians so loved throughout the world — so very special.” Joan also was involved in the formation of two organizations: the Kamloops Y Women’s Emergency Shelter and Cottonwood Manor seniors housing. She also served as a volunteer and president of Seniors’ Outreach and the Kamloops Liaison Council for Seniors. Joan also worked with Safeway on the North Shore to create a seniors day, where seniors would get a cup of tea and cookies and help with their shopping. In recognition of her significant contributions to the community, Joan received a Special Community Contribution Certificate, signed and sealed by then-Kamloops’ MP Nelson Riis. “Joan Wilson’s legacy gift is a wonderful donation,” RIH Foundation CEO Heidi Coleman said. “Through this gift, even though she is no longer with us, she has ensured that the community she cared so much about will continue to benefit from her generosity.” Joan Wilson died on March 8 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House. She was 90.

Health and Safety Regulation (BC reg. 296/97, as amended)
WorkSafeBC is holding a public hearing on proposed amendments to Parts 6, 8, 16, 18, and 21 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. In light of the ongoing and rapidly evolving COVID – 19 pandemic and in an effort to maximize social distancing, the public hearing will be held virtually. The virtual public hearing will be streamed live on December 10, 2020, in two sessions. The first will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the second from 3 to 5 p.m. View the virtual public hearing live at https://video.isilive.ca/worksafebc/2020-12-10/
Participating in the Public Hearing Process We welcome your feedback on the proposed amendments. All feedback received will be presented to WorkSafeBC’s Board of Directors for their consideration.

which ARPA Investments won gold in the Print Category. The premise of The Colours’ overall marketing campaign — “Bring Your Colour” — was founded in the imagery of a colourful collection of diverse and unique personalities from across generations coming together to create a community. ARPA said the Community Fence Art Project was an opportunity to show that the new development would be a diverse, inclusive, and social place where neighbours look out
for each other. The art project consists of 150 plywood boards painted by community members and affixed to the construction fencing around the development site. Guided by local artist Adriana Arzeta Soldevilla, the panels were crafted by kids from the Boys and Girls Club, Kamloops Y and local schools, as well as by members of the business community and the ARPA Investments construction team. “To be recognized for excellence in creativity is kind of the icing on the
cake for our team,” said Jasbir Mahal of ARPA Investments. “We didn’t set out to do this project to win an award, but to be recognized is very special because this also recognizes the spirit of our community and all of those who were all involved in creating this project.” Once construction is complete in the spring of 2021, the fencing will be removed and the McDonald Park Community Association will repurpose the fence art for its community garden.
Tis the season for some TLC!

Health orders close Pandemic Playhouse KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Western Canada Theatre has suspended its Pandemic Playhouse series as a result of new public health orders concerning events put in place on Thursday. “We are tremendously disappointed to postpone the remaining events of the #YKAStrong Series in the Pavilion Theatre,” said Western Canada Theatre artistic director James MacDonald.
The series was created to highlight shows created by local creatives in music, comedy, performance and other talents. Audiences were limited and COVID19 restrictions were put in place. “We prioritize the health of our audiences, staff, and volunteers above all, and will follow provincial health guidelines,” MacDonald said. “We look forward to welcoming back
these performers and companies in the new year, when restrictions ease and our public health situation improves. Stay safe.” Western Canada Theatre said it will be in touch with ticket holders for the series, but if preferred, the box office can be reached by phone at 250-3745483 or by email at klbo@kamloopslive. ca between noon and 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.

Buy an art calendar, help South Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
ONE DAY ONLY! Sale extended to Saturday, Nov. 28th til close!
20% OFF
The 15th annual South Kamloops secondary art calendar and fundraiser is here. Fifty-five South Kamloops art students began their learning with a field trip to the BC Wildlife Park, where they participated in an informative animal encounter program. Next, students worked with local nature illustrator Anisha Parekh in a classroom art workshop. Since students and teachers are unable to host the annual community exhibition in the Sagebrush Theatre lobby this year, due to the pandemic, they have created a virtual art exhibition for the 2021 calendar project.
Marbled Red Fox, by Grade 12 student Sharly Audet.
That online exhibit is online at tinyurl.com/ y28hqwq9. The calendars — An Illustrated Journey/ Kamloops 2021 — calendars were created by students inspired by nature drawing and journaling. Art teacher Lisa Yamoaka said students investigated imagery and information as a way to connect to their community and share their research as visual artists. Yamoaka said the theme addresses nature illustration and jour-
naling by focusing on observing and recording surroundings or personal experience in Kamloops. Calendars can be purchased at South Kamloops secondary’s main office (Ninth Avenue and Munro Street in Sagebrush), at The Art We Are (217 Victoria St. downtown) and at the Kamloops Art Gallery (Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue downtown). Proceeds from the sales go to the South
Kamloops secondary visual arts program. “We are grateful for the enthusiastic support of the BC Wildlife Park,” Yamoaka said. “A special thank you to our community jurors who had the difficult task of selecting the featured images for this calendar.” These included artist and illustrator Anisha Parekh, Kamloops Art Gallery education and public programs director Emily Hope South Kamloops secondary vice-principal Lana Blais. Also helping in the endeavour were the school’s parent advisory committee, the City of Kamloops arts and culture engagement group, South Kamloops secondary alumnus and graphic designer Amanda Johnson.

Review: The pros and cons of KSO’s online concerts
FOR ONE NIGHT LESLIE HALL
SPECIAL TO KTW
Solemn Contemplation, the third in the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra’s 2020-2021 virtual season, was recorded at the Oasis Church on Roger’s Way. Now that online concerts have become the norm, let’s consider the advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages: your chair, your schedule, freedom to cough, freedom to eat candy from crinkly wrappers and freedom to drink at your seat. What you miss: chatting with your friends, rubbing shoulders with musical types, checking out the better dressed, sensing the awesome hush as the conductor advances to the podium, know-
ing the magical combination of audience and performers is about to begin. The KSO is offering two alternatives in this time of pandemic. Both are at a minimal cost and both need to be pre-booked. You either buy a ticket that allows you to watch with the advantages mentioned for a time period that begins with “opening night’”
or you wait a week and watch in a cinema on a Sunday afternoon at one of two times. Thinking about these choices in regards to the concert that opened on Nov. 21, Solemn Contemplation, choosing the cinema option presents a problem. This music plays as much on the metaphorical heart strings as on the five string

sections of the orchestra. As the notes explain, the program was designed as a healing tool. A piano part augments the strings (in this case, the less satisfying keyboard) in the work by Montreal composer and painter Julie Thériault, only strings in the second work by Toronto composer and pianist Larysa
Kuzmenko and strings plus exquisite voices in Giovanni Pergolesi’s interpretation of the Sabat Mater. The action on the screen will be distracting. I will be taking sneak peeks at the conductor, Dina Gilbert, and perhaps longer gazes as Elyse Jacobsen masters the violin solos. Oh, and I will probably watch cellists Martin Kratky and Doug Gorkoff when I hear deep resonating sounds shift to barely audible. I will still be curious as to where on the stage at the Oasis Church the soloists, Sinéad White and Shane Hanson were standing. Mostly, my eyes will be closed. To accompany your attendance — whether at home or in
the cinema — there is an excellent program on the KSO website (kamloopssymphony. com) that opens with a dedication in memory of Don Bennett and contains most helpful notes, including the text and translation for the Sabat Mater. Be prepared for an amazing experience. The performance is available online until Dec. 20. And, if you haven’t yet seen the KSO’s Phantom of the Opera performance, it is available until Nov. 29. Next up is the annual Christmas event — a collection of whimsical holiday music that opens on Dec. 13 and continues through Jan. 9. Tickets for all events are available online at kamloopslive.ca.

I
t was early in the morning, likely the day after the Jewish feast of Tabernacles, that the paths of two people were about to cross. The Jewish religious leaders arrested a woman for adultery and brought her before the Lord, as he taught in the temple precincts. Her life was about to be forever changed. The Jewish leaders were constantly after the Lord to find some fault with him or his teaching. This occasion was no exception as they somehow caught the woman in the very act. They gave no explanation as to where or whom the other person was. They just brought the woman into the midst of the gathering of people where the Lord was teaching and proceeded to question the Lord. When we come to the eighth chapter of John, we find the Lord spending the night on the Mount of Olives. It is likely that he was using the time there to commune with his father in prayer about the events of the next day. So ,when the morning came, he came into the Temple courts, prepared to teach the people that were gathered around. The Jewish leaders never let up on the Lord in their attempts to trap him and this was no exception. The Lord knew their plan of attack was to trap him in his words somehow. Jewish leaders asked the Lord what he would say concerning the woman taken in adultery, reminding him of the requirements of the
JOHN EGGERS You Gotta Have
FAITH
Law of Moses. In John, chapter one, verse 17, we find the phrase that the headline of this article is taken from. It reads: “For the law (Ten Commandments) was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” Their attack was designed to back the Lord into a legal corner, out of which they thought he could not get out. The Jewish leaders proceeded to question the Lord regarding the law’s requirement for the woman’s sin and demanded what the Lord thought of the matter. The Bible tells us the Lord Jesus did not come to bring judgment on the world, but rather to suffer and die for our sins. He provided a way for our sins to be forgiven so we could be righteously cleared of all guilt. After the leaders asked their question, the Lord stooped down, wrote on the ground and said nothing. The leaders pressed the Lord to give them an answer, so he stood up and said: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
Then, the Lord stooped down and wrote on the ground some more. Slowly, beginning from the oldest to the last, the accusers went out. The Lord was left alone with the woman standing in the midst. The Lord then stood up and asked the woman: “Where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you?” The woman said: “No man, Lord.” The Lord, in his amazing grace said, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.” The woman deserved the penalty of her sin, but she received forgiveness that morning directly from the Lord himself. He was the only one qualified to cast a stone, but his abounding grace was received instead by this woman. She would never be the same after this encounter with the one who would eventually die for the sins of the world. “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17). Have you experienced the grace of God in your life, knowing the forgiveness of sins through trusting the Lord Jesus who died for your sins?

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
This week you will display the utmost competence and mastery at work. This could provide an opportunity for supervisors to see what you are made of, Aries.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 The hard work you put into your education will pay dividends shortly, Taurus. You may find it will give you a leg up over others seeking to advance their careers.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it may be time to have a conversation with your family about resources or finances. The conversation may be tedious, but it is absolutely necessary.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, it is alright if you feel weighed down by a heavy conversation with someone. Not every interaction can be light and airy. Distract yourself if you need a mood reboot.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you are in a relationship, it is possible that this week you will reach a particular level of intimacy that many couples aspire to. You are definitely in an intuitive space.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Family obligations leave you with little free time for rest and recreation for the next several days, Virgo. It can be sobering to give up the fun, but duty calls for a little while.
Craft Beer. Wine. Coolers. Ciders. Specialty Liquor.
Good stuff all the time.
NOVEMBER 25 - DECEMBER 1, 2020 LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 Let your imagination run a little wild and enjoy being spontaneous, Libra. You can use some time to fantasize about what the future holds.
SCORPIO
- Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may seek out the advice of a role model who embodies a lifestyle that you admire. Don’t hesitate to put your own spin on things if you want to do so.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Capricorn, you may find yourself opening up to new ideas or beliefs. Remember to take everything at face value until you have had ample time to do your research.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, like so many people you have been spending more time at home lately. You may get back into the groove of socializing and interacting with others soon enough.
PISCES
Your gift of gab could help you secure a raise or even a better job, Sagittarius. Demonstrate that you can fill the role well and not just talk your way through.
In my humble opinion, there are only two types of computers: those that waste your time and those that waste your time faster.
- Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, carve out some time to have an important conversation with a loved one about future plans. It is time to take a few serious steps.

Christmas on In this season of giving, think about shopping local
T
his year has been unlike any other for all of us, with the challenges of openings, closings, masks and distancing. The challenges for our businesses have been significant. Did you know that on the North Shore , 88 per cent of our businesses are owneroperator? Did you know these businesses employ from a few staff members to hundreds of workers? Did you know these businesses are the ones that sponsor your soccer teams, support the Kamloops Food Bank, United Way, SPCA and so much more? Did you know your one sale multiplied by 10 can pay someone’s mortgage, feed someone’s family and show faith in your neighbourhood? As we approach the end of November, North Shore business have stepped up to embrace our community and
create something special. Our business members donated more than $6,500 in goods and gift certificates for a two-week contest called Where’s Herman? This simple contest, co-hosted by radio station B100, asks you only to identify where Herman (North Shore Business Improvement Association president Bryce) is each day for a couple of weeks. When the contest closes this Friday, we expect to have collected about 10,000 entries. The unique aspect of this contest is that the winner receives two gift baskets — one for the winner and one for a friend in need. I think that is the true message. Even though many businesses are struggling to stay afloat, they are still embracing an opportunity to give back to their community. When our businesses need us the most, they are
giving the most. This is at the heart of the local shopping movement. Before you hit that “purchase button” and buy an item from Shanghai or New York, try looking in your neighbourhood. Try to find what you want here, in Kamloops, and support a business that is always giving. As a side note, last week we wrapped up our design charrette process that lays out the foundation for an amazing new future here on The Shore, through the city’s North Shore Community Plan revitalization. It was a powerful week filled with ideas and opportunities. However, these plans and ideas rely on something very special that we see on the North Shore — the loyalty and commitment of our neighbourhoods. As we move into this possible new future, the involvement of both our residential neighbourhoods and our
Celebrating

WONDERFUL YEARS OF BUSINESS
small businesses that anchor our shopping districts will be critical, which means our small businesses must be here to help us on this new course. That’s where you come back in. This holiday season, if you want to celebrate someone special ,do something special by making at least one purchase locally, in your neighbourhood. This simple and powerful act of generosity is incredibly valuable to our local merchants’ immediate survival. Then, when you need them next year, they will be here to support you, too. As we move into Christmas season, I encourage you to strongly embrace the season of giving — shop local and buy local. Jeremy Heighton executive director North Shore Business Improvement Association
North Shore Business Improvement Association president Bryce Herman is fishing for gifts, but where? The NSBIA’s Where’s Herman? contest ends this Friday and has garnered about 10,000 entries.

Dig It: Barbecuing our way to uncovering history KIM CHRISTENSON
SPECIAL TO KTW

A
rchaeologists usually do fieldwork in the summer months — well, the “defrosted” months, anyway. Winters are generally reserved for nesting in our offices, drinking gallons of coffee, filling out site forms and writing reports for all the fieldwork completed during the summer months. It doesn’t always work that way, though. An archaeology crew has been working regularly on the Big Bar Slide to complete archaeological assessments at the same time as the emergency response efforts to create a solution that helps the salmon get back upriver, where they need to be. Because it’s an emergency response situation, our work can’t always be planned far enough in advance to complete during the warmer summer months, so we end up doing the dreaded winter archaeology. We dread this work, not so much because of the less than ideal conditions, but more because it requires so much extra planning and takes so much longer than the “normal” fieldwork we do. As an example, I have been working with an archaeology crew recently out near Big Bar to support the emergency response by conducting an impact assessment in advance of a proposed development. We’ll be out again in the coming weeks to finish. The work is remote and the location is challenging at the best of times. November is not the best of times. It’s cold, we tend to run out of daylight, the access is limited and the roads can be unsafe. But through our past fieldwork in the area, we have demonstrated that there is a long and rich his-

tory of Indigenous occupation and land use, so we must continue, even under these less-than-optimal conditions. The last round of fieldwork was conducted under full winter conditions, with frozen, snowcovered ground. This makes it all but impossible to use our trusty shovels and dig the tests we need to excavate in order to screen the sediment and find artifacts or features that may be present. There are several strategies that can be employed in these cases, with the specific choices depending on factors such as the remoteness of the project, its size and the specific methods allowed by the permit. In this case, we opted to lay out a very precise grid and defrost the ground at each and every shovel test location. Our defrosting method? Using charcoal briquettes. Since it’s not barbecue season in Kamloops, charcoal was hard to come by, with only a limited
supply locally. My always-patient husband made the trek with me to purchase 1,200 pounds of charcoal briquettes from the closest place we could find such a quantity — the Home Depot store in Westbank. Then I trucked it out to Big Bar. Through a lot of manual labour and problem-solving, we worked out a pretty successful, and reasonably efficient, system to defrost the ground on a grid using charcoal briquettes lit by a tiger torch. It all seems a bit ridiculous at first glance (you can bet there were plenty of strange looks and questions from people in Home Depot and at the gas station on our way home), but it actually worked quite well once we got a system going. It defrosts the ground in an area big enough to do our shovel tests. In most cases the high heat also dries the ground as it defrosts, so it’s not too soupy when we screen the sediments, an unfortunate
We’re here for you.
by-product of having to do winter archaeology with other methods. Obviously, we would prefer to do this work under summer conditions, when the ground is defrosted and access is better. But sometimes with a little creativity, ingenuity and good, old-fashioned elbow grease, we can complete archaeological
assessments under less than ideal conditions to save the salmon. Kim Christenson is a Kamloops-based archaeologist. Interested in more? Go online to republicofarchaeology.ca. Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the region.

here are many destinations in the world that offer a highly polished tourist experience. You know it’s polished when local vendors greet you enthusiastically and make a concerted effort to communicate. When your tourism experiences are trash-free and when you can cross a road without fearing for your life. Vietnam is not one of these places. Real life hits you in the face here — forcing you to acknowledge the deep divide between First World and Third World living and the still-raw history of war and colonialism on the physical and cultural landscape. In Hanoi, we hired scooter drivers to guide us through the city, too terrified by the haphazard traffic to drive ourselves. At one stop, our guide pointed out the remains of an American war plane, shot down during the Vietnam War, some 50 years ago. It crashed into a lake, in the downtown and remains there to this day, a massive hunk of machinery rusting away. We passed street vendors selling the meat of butchered dogs, their mouths open in a grotesque grimace. Later, as we moved north to south through the country and wandered in the night markets, we saw Gucci knockoffs for sale next to vendors selling barbecued frogs, doves, fried crickets, fat silkworms and an eye-openingly selection of spiny shellfish. “Here in Vietnam, we eat anything that moves,” one of our guides declared with a laugh. Another was more serious on the subject of food. “During the famine of 1945 up to 2 million of our people starved to death,” he reflected. “So though it might turn

your stomach to see dogs, frogs, birds and insects for sale as food, remember, everything has a story. Google cannot explain it all.” I could write about Vietnam’s gorgeous resort destinations and the warmth of the South China Sea as we floated in the gentle waves. We experienced this, too, and loved it. Tourism is growing in the country and large hotel chains like Marriott and Intercontinental are colonizing beachside real estate, attracting increasing numbers of visitors. But as you bask in the waves it’s hard to ignore the trash floating in from the mainland. The island of Phu Quoc is an hour’s flight from Saigon, home to 9 million people, and with an unrefined trash management system, the quantities of plastic
washing up on the beach is disheartening. Our hotel employed three locals who worked the beach from dawn to dusk daily, collecting and disposing of the never-ending stream of trash. “You owe it to the Vietnamese people to visit the War Remnant Museum,” my cousin stated flatly before we left for our trip. So in Saigon we joined the throngs of visitors ambling through graphic exhibits of what the Vietnamese refer to as the Resistance War Against America. For sure, the accompanying text, written by the Communist Party, is one-sided, but the visuals were at once riveting, shocking and devastating. We saw pictures of rice paddies bombed to smithereens, Vietnamese farmers being tor-
tured, and dead, bloody bodies littering the roadside. The Agent Orange display was even more horrific, with visuals of the physical deformation caused by toxins sprayed on the land in the name of American warfare. Cleanup of those poisons is still in progress even today, and the suffering caused by the chemical. One guide described her aunt, a woman in her 50s with the mind of a child, unable to work, marry or live a productive life because of harm caused by chemical. I had come to the country thinking America’s efforts to fight Communism in Vietnam were noble. My visit to the museum changed my mind completely.

country is not for you. But if you can open your mind to another culture without condescension and through your travels, try to understand the forces that shaped Vietnam to what it is today, you’ll find it a riveting experience. Yes, you’ll see some pristine beaches, tropical jungles and bigname hotels sporting gorgeous turquoise swimming pools. You will also see a country still wracked with scars from the past, trying hard to deal with its history of oppression, while actively reinventing itself to keep pace with the rest of the world.

will start building up. We are trying to stay optimistic. The demand is out there.” Sun Peaks’ COVID-19 policy and procedures are posted online at sunpeaksresort.com, including information on daily capacity limitations. The resort opted to limit the number of season passes sold and is encouraging patrons to purchase lift tickets in advance online. Window ticket sales may not be available for the majority of the season. “While it might have been more advantageous for us as a company on the mountain to get as much money as we could up front, in terms of the season pass revenue, we didn’t feel that was the best play for the destination from a standpoint of viability of getting through the season,” Kelly said. “We are a conglomerate of a whole bunch of individual businesses that rely on one another to be successful. We also need to have day visitors coming up. They stay overnight in hotels, eat in restaurants and shop in the stores.” Kelly said it is likely daily capac-

ity numbers will only be reached during peak times, including the Christmas holidays and the period around Family Day Weekend in February. “Spring break, we’re typically not super busy up here, but this year it’s a little bit different because people aren’t taking trips to Mexico or Hawaii,” Kelly said. “They’re going to gravitate toward ski resorts. But for the vast majority of the ski season, if you want a ski ticket, you should be able to get one.” Sun Peaks News publisher Brandi Schier hosted a videoconference last week that featured Kelly, Nathan Cross, owner of Bottoms Bar and Grill, and Tim Foster, sports programs and activities director for Sun Peaks Resort. Foster noted most resort programming will proceed as usual, but a dearth of staffing, with fewer international employees available, and physical distancing guidelines have led to the cancellation of Cat Trax Groomer Rides, Bungee Trampoline and the Tube Park. The West Bowl T-Bar has also been shut down for the season.
Finding housing for resort staffers has been a challenge, with a cut in available accommodation of about 45 per cent, according to Foster. “We’ve had to make changes to adhere to protocols,” Kelly said. “We have a lower number of beds available. Staffing is tough every year. It’s always a bit of a grind. This year, obviously, is a little bit more challenging, but we’ve been really pro-active.” Trying to determine how much staffing is required in Sun Peaks businesses is also a vexing task. “All of your historical visitation data, we learned this in the summer, you can kind of throw it out the window a little bit because in a COVID environment it’s very different,” Kelly said. “We saw very different travel patterns and that is going to carry over into the winter, which makes it a little more of an unknown for all of the businesses.” Kelly said the resort will do its best to help surrounding businesses project expected visitation numbers, but accurate estimates may be elusive given the everchanging restrictions and guide-
lines in an unprecedented environment. Embracing the unknown has become the norm for Cross, who is concerned about the potential for large lineups at Bottoms, with distancing regulations limiting seating capacity. A heated patio area and the Bottoms Turnaround Hut, operating off the patio, will help the après hot spot keep up with demand. “Patience will be key,” Cross told Schier, noting employees and customers have become accustomed to contact-tracing practices, sanitizing requirements and distancing rules. “There is going to be longer waits and a lot less seating overall.” Bottoms is among Sun Peaks businesses getting creative during the pandemic. The dividers between tables will feature local art, some of which can be purchased. Kelly is pointing customers in the direction of Sun Peaks’ website for information on which lifts and runs are open. Lost in the shuffle is what some scientists are predicting to be a snow-filled La Niña season. The mid-mountain snow base was 86 centimetres on Tuesday. “I hope all that good snow doesn’t go to waste,” Kelly said. “We are adjusting on a daily basis and trying to do what’s right for the guest, the resort and businesses and trying to respect all of the feedback and information coming from government and health authorities.”

ravel restrictions and recommendations within B.C. did no favours for business last weekend at Sun Peaks Resort, which opened its winter season on Saturday amid the pandemic. More concerning to the resort and merchants in the community is how much the bottom line will suffer if restrictions remain in place through the Christmas season. “If there were travel bans or further restrictions in place, it would have a pretty devastating impact, but the local market would still want to come up and ski,” said Aidan Kelly, chief marketing officer for Sun Peaks Resort. “It would have a massive impact. If you don’t have a good Christmas holiday period, it’s pretty much impossible to dig yourself out of that hole. That’s when such a big chunk of your business comes through.” Non-essential travel within B.C. is restricted until at least Dec. 7, according to orders released last week by the provincial government. The restrictions do not include travel to local mountains. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry is encouraging, for example, Kamloops and area residents to recreate at Sun Peaks. Premier John Horgan said people should not be travelling to and from B.C. unless on essential business, a remark that suggests Sun Peaks can expect a drop in visitors from Alberta. “We’re starting to get some people inquiring about what they should do about their Christmas holiday bookings,” Kelly said. “It’s an interesting dilemma because there are no clear answers.” “We were already planning on a bit of a business and revenue hit with the Christmas holiday to begin with. If there are further travel restrictions, that will be another component. The impacts

Milburn earns NCAA Division One scholarship MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Late bloomer Connor Milburn has snared what essentially boils down to a full-ride hockey scholarship to NCAA Division One Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. “I can’t even put it into words,” said Milburn, speaking to KTW from his billet house in Chilliwack, where he plays for the junior A Chiefs in the B.C. Hockey League. “It means that all the time I could have been doing other stuff, when I focused my time into hockey, it means it has all paid off. It means the world to me.” Nothing has been handed to Milburn, except perhaps a seven-inch growth spurt that began about four years ago. The no-longer-diminutive, 6-foot-4, 180-pound forward was not on the WHL Bantam Draft radar in 2016. Milburn, a Kamloops Minor Hockey Association product, toiled in the tier 2 ranks during his 13-year-old campaign before joining the tier 1 bantam club the next season. “Honestly, I didn’t even really know too much about it [the draft] because I had no interest from WHL teams,” Milburn said. “You’ve got to work for what you get. I was a smaller kid in midget. I knew the growth spurt was going to come. I didn’t know I was going to get this tall and this big, but I knew it was going

to come and I had to keep my head down and keep working.” Milburn progressed throughout his midget career, moving from tier 2 to tier 1 and, finally, to the major midget Thompson Blazers in 2018-2019, when he racked up 14 goals and 29 points in 25 games. Carter Cochrane, Thompson’s head coach in 2018-2019, said Milburn’s path is a great example for players in Kamloops not highly touted out of bantam. “Guys who didn’t really come into their own until 16, 17,” Cochrane said. “At that time, that’s when the Western league has passed you by a little bit. Connor is a tremendous student. He’s going to handle the college route with school and hockey extremely well. I’m just so happy for him and proud of him.” Milburn, a left shot, tallied six goals and eight points in 25 regular season games for the Chiefs last season, his rookie campaign in the BCHL. “He has worked himself into
being a very important part of our lineup,” Chiefs’ head coach and general manager Brian Maloney said in a press release. “He does a lot of the little things that allow your team to succeed in all three zones. Connor is a quiet leader that has a great attitude toward the game and his teammates. We couldn’t be more proud.” Milburn, who has the option to begin his career at Lake Superior either next year or in 2022, noted Cochrane and hometown coaches Darcy Kaban, Darcy Erichuk and Kevin Johnson had a hand in his hockey upbringing. “It didn’t surprise me one bit that he got this look this early,” Cochrane said. “He’s got unlimited potential moving forward at his size and the way he thinks the game. It’s a great example for younger players in Kamloops to see guys like him, who might not have been on the radar as much. There is still a great opportunity to have success later on in your junior career.”

Norbrock Stadium will welcome West Coast League fans for the first time on June 8, when the Kamloops NorthPaws will play host to the Edmonton Riverhawks in a tilt featuring two expansion clubs, Game 1 of a three-game series. The WCL released its 2021 schedule last week, with the NorthPaws slated to open the campaign on June 4 against the hometown Yakima Valley Pippins. “Every year, getting the new West Coast League schedule is like getting an early Christmas present,” WCL commissioner Rob Neyer said in a press release. “The best early Christmas present.” Each club will play 54 league games, along with exhibition contests that will be scheduled at a later date. The regular season will wrap up on Aug. 12. Details on playoff scheduling have not yet been released. The expansion Nanaimo Night Owls will also join the wood bat college summer circuit in 2021, a third expansion team that makes five Canadian clubs, including Kamloops, Edmonton, the Kelowna Falcons and Victoria HarbourCats. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to see the complete 2021
schedule, which is subject to approval from local health authorities amid the pandemic. The NorthPaws’ season is broken into 18 three-game series, nine home and nine away. “Today is an exciting step in the development of NorthPaws’ baseball,” NorthPaws’ part-owner Jon Pankuch said in a press release. “Games like the home opener and Canada Day are the first ones we have circled on our calendar.” Kamloops will play host to 27 regular-season games. Highlights include a Canada Day showdown against the Wenatchee AppleSox, the first KamloopsKelowna series at Norbrock, with Game 1 slated for July 20, a three-game series against Victoria beginning on July 30 and an expansion clash with the Night Owls that gets underway on Aug. 3. “We’re highly anticipating a fun season and seeing all the Canadian teams come to Norbrock Stadium is great,” Pankuch said in the release. The WCL, founded in 2005, has 15 teams across Oregon, Washington state, B.C. and Alberta and features collegiate players with professional aspirations.

Zary, Garand not believed to have contracted COVID-19 Hockey Canada’s National Junior Team Sport Chek Selection Camp in Red Deer was suspended on Tuesday after two players tested positive for COVID-19. Connor Zary and Dylan Garand of the Kamloops Blazers, both of whom made early statements at camp, are not believed to be among those who contracted the virus, according to the Blazers. Zary made an impression on Team Canada head coach André Tourigny on Sunday in the second of three intrasquad games, with players jostling for jobs on the squad that will represent the country at the 2021 World Junior Hockey Championship. The 19-year-old forward from Saskatoon played left wing on a Team White line that featured centre Kirby Dach and right-winger Philip Tomasino. Zary notched two assists and added an empty-net marker in a 6-3 win over Team Red. Dach scored twice and Tomasino added a single. “I think he had his best game today,” Tourigny said

of Zary after the game on Sunday. “Connor was one of our best players after four days of practice. He works really hard. He’s tenacious and he did a really good job. In his first game, he was OK. Today he was good, was really good.” Zary played centre in the first scrimmage on Saturday, with Adam Beckman on the left wing and Tomasino on his right. The Blazers’ forward registered one assist in a 4-2
victory over Team Red. “He played centre yesterday, played wing today,” Tourigny said on Sunday. “He showed some flexibility in his play. He’s a flex player, can play different positions, different roles, can take faceoffs, can play both special teams, so he showed a lot of good tools.” Garand started between the pipes for Team White on Saturday and stopped all 11 shots that came his way.
The 18-year-old Victoria product did not enter the game on Sunday. He was expected to play in the third intrasquad contest on Tuesday, but the game was postponed. The camp roster — which includes five goaltenders, 15 defencemen and 26 forwards — features 22 players taken in the 2020 NHL draft (including Zary and Garand) and 18 prospects from the 2019 NHL Draft.

ing clarification from viaSport, suspended all league play from Saturday to Dec. 7, as no inter-community travel for sports is permitted in B.C. until Dec. 8 at the earliest. “The restrictions
blanket the rest of the province, where a lot of us would feel there was a lot less growth in the virus or a lot less issues,” Kamloops Storm general manager Matt Kolle said. “Let’s say it that way. In my mind, that seems a funny step to take.” Kolle would like to see play resume on Dec. 8, allowing the Storm to finish Phase 1 with four games — two each against cohort partners North
Okanagan and Chase — before the Christmas break. “I’d be lying if I wasn’t sitting here with everybody else saying, ‘What are the real chances of restrictions coming off in two weeks?’ But we’ll see,” Kolle said. The Storm’s GM wants to do everything in his power to forge ahead with game play. “I’m a glass-half-full guy,” said Kolle, whose club enters the pause
with a 2-0 record. “Let’s reschedule games. Let’s do what it takes. Let’s get our 30 games in. “If things keep snowballing the way they are right now, I feel like we would be going after Christmas. It gets a little tough to make up games because of cohorts, but there is a major chunk of season to go and for the Kamloops Storm we’re hoping there is a good 20 to 30 game playoff there, as well.”

Frank Lawrence Giesbrecht
September 14, 1932 - November 16, 2020 On Monday, November 16, 2020 Frank Lawrence Giesbrecht passed away suddenly at the age of 88. Lawrence was born on September 14, 1932 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to Clearwater, BC in 1965. He lived there, with his wife, Minnie and their three children, for 38 years until they moved to Kamloops in 2002. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Helena Giesbrecht, son David Giesbrecht, sister Doreen Bryan and brother Norman Giesbrecht. Lawrence is survived by his wife of 60 years Minnie, sister Anna Pickersgill, daughter Lori (Peter) Bradstock, son Geoff (Marie) Giesbrecht, his six grandchildren; Adam Donnelly, Kaitlyn, Alana, Shannon, Emily and Erik Giesbrecht as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Lawrence was involved in many volunteer organizations over the years, but his passions in life were sports and his grandchildren. If he could combine the two, he was in his element. For 37 years, “Grandpa” was in attendance at every softball, hockey, soccer, track and field, volleyball and basketball game he could get to. He truly was their number one fan! According to Lawrence’s wishes there will be no funeral service. The family will gather at a later date for a celebration of life in Clearwater.

It is with gratitude for a life well lived and for a peaceful ending that we advise that our Tony has passed away. As a husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend - he was ever so unique. He was generous with his skills and time and a perfectionist in his trade with an incredible work ethic. He showed his big heart through the help he gave rather than spoken words and never said no to a request for help. There was nothing the man could not build, fix or figure out and his energy was endless.

Obituaries
Tony is survived by his dear wife Nora, his daughters Taya (Mike) and Karen (Derek), his grandchildren Simon and Lindsay, all of whom he was so proud. He also leaves sisters-in-law Heleen Berkhout and Valerie Beamer, nieces and nephews Leslie Morris, Don (Deb) McArthur, Randy (Shannon) Morris in Canada and Sandra, Ariette, Jeroen (Yvonne), Rebecca (Jonathan), Judith (Leon), Floris (Ildiko) and Lotte (Ramon) Berkhout in Holland. The third of four boys, Tony was predeceased by his brothers Meint, Fries and Carl. He was blessed with so many dear friends, colleagues and neighbours, many who’ve been so helpful and generous with their time and assistance in his last years. Tony was born in Wisch in the Netherlands, the namesake of Dr. A.D.J. Berkhout, and grew up in Den Haag. WWII had a huge impact on him as a boy and his resourcefulness grew out of necessity in times of scarcity. After attending trade school, he came to Canada at the age of 19 in search of a better life and trained as an industrial electrician. A member of Local 993 of the IBEW, he loved the big industrial projects and worked many years on big power and pulp projects helping to build the infrastructure of the Province of BC and beyond. He finally retired at the age of 75 and in 2019 was honoured with the presentation of his 65-year pin. He met his wife of 61 years in Prince George, unknowingly set up on a blind date by mutual friends. Seemingly unimpressed with the meddling he waited a few weeks and then called her himself and they married in 1959. They settled in Kamloops to work and raise their family with most of the years spent in a house they built along the North Thompson. Tony enjoyed many years of outdoor adventures, skiing at Tod Mountain, cross-country skiing and canoeing with a wonderful tight knit group of friends who really knew how to laugh and have fun. The annual Johnson Lake boys retreat was replete with beer pancakes and poker games each May long weekend. His absolute love of fishing peaked when Tony nabbed the biggest Chinook salmon of the season at a whopping 55 lbs. and earned the title of Master Fisherman at Peregrine Lodge. While he disliked flying, he loved to travel and the two had many trips abroad, spending many weekends camping and fishing throughout the Southern Interior and the US and leaving their kids free to have house parties. He loved Oscar Peterson and Errol Garner and, on weekends would wake up his young kids with “Swing Session” cranked on CBC Radio.
Your Loving Wife Shirley and Family
The staff at RIH and Ponderosa were especially kind and made his last days comfortable. Memorial services are not possible until the pandemic abates, but the family would love to receive your memories, stories and photos.

James William “Bill” Spragge
Al passed peacefully early on November 11, 2020 at the age of 84. He is survived by his brothers (Douglas, Stanley and Victor Knight), his immediate children (Brian, Brenda and Andrew Knight and Catherine Brochhagen), grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Al, born and raised in Vancouver, attended Lord Byng High School, then completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree at UBC, which led to a short career in the transportation industry. Al then discovered his passion for the new and evolving computer industry. He moved to Kamloops and in 1987 he started the Kam-Ed Institute where he taught people of all walks of life to use computers. After 16 years, he retired from Kam-Ed. During his retirement he was an active member of the Kamloops Sailing Association and the Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, travelled internationally with his brother Stan, and spent time with friends. Over the last year, his health deteriorated so that he needed full time support, which he found at the Overlander Residential Care Home. Al’s family would like to thank the staff at the Overlander for the comfort and care they gave him. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Diabetes Canada. A small, private service will be held in Kamloops. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
James William “Bill” Spragge, 87, died peacefully in his sleep November 16, 2020 in Rosemary Heights Senior Village in Surrey BC. Bill leaves his sons Michael and wife Carolyn Audet; Tom and wife Theresa Campbell; granddaughters, Sara (Cavallo) her husband Justin, Carli her partner Josh Yambor, Kendal Campbell, Jade Spragge – Putman; and great granddaughters Charlotte and Eleanor Cavallo. He was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years Sybil Spragge (2011), son Stephen Paxton (1982), and his brother John Spragge (2008). Born in Kitchener, Ontario on May 4, 1933, Bill moved to Toronto when he was young, attending grade and high school in North York. Once in university, he traveled west during the summer, taking on physically demanding jobs to fund his university education. In 1956, he married Sybil Horner after a four-year courtship and one year later achieved his dream of being a physician after graduating from University of Toronto Medical School. Bill and Sybil’s first son, Mike was born in 1958, prompting the couple to move to Oshawa where Bill started a family medical practice. The twins, Tom, and Steve, were born in 1963, completing the Spragge household. Bill enjoyed being a physician and was always up for a lively debate on the testing and treatment practices for the ailments he saw. When his practice first opened, he joked about how he was often paid in home-made wine (reportedly, not very good), eggs, and chickens. In 1970, Bill and his family relocated to Montreal to attend McGill University where he completed a second residency in radiology and completed his fellowship in New York City at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He was a member of the medical support staff for the Canadian team during the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. Bill and
Theodore A. Smith (Ted)
his family relocated to Kamloops BC in 1979 to work at the Royal Inland Hospital, where he worked until 2005. Bill was an avid outdoorsman. He and some of his cronies retraced one of the canoe routes of the coureur de bois from Great Slave Lake to Winnipeg, as well as taking many family vacations in Algonquin Park and at his fishing camp in northern Ontario. Bill loved playing the piano and was always happy to lead sing along sessions with friends and family. He continued to ski and play golf into his 70’s. In later years, Bill and Sybil traveled the world together – visiting locations throughout, Asia, Europe, and Africa - soaking in the history and culture of the countries they visited. They enjoyed entertaining their friends both in Kamloops and at their cottage on the Shuswap. Long known for his sense of humor, unending intellectual curiosity, musicianship, and loyalty to his friends, Bill was an active volunteer with the Salvation Army and a member of the St. Paul’s Cathedral community. An interment will be planned in Kamloops at the Hillside Cemetery next year once the border is reopened. Special thanks are extended to the staff of Rosemary Heights for the care they provided Bill. In lieu of flowers a memorial donation can be made to either St. Paul’s Cathedral or online or in person to the Kamloops Salvation Army.

Nicole Storm Wershler (née Blondie)
Theodore A. Smith (Ted). Our Dad, regretfully, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2020 at the age of 88. He had spent the last 10 months in Ridgeview Lodge, and previously in Berwick on the Park, Kamloops. A special thank you to the team in both homes for your care and support. Dad was very proud to say he was born March 31,1932 in Blue River, BC. From there his family moved to Vernon for a short time, before making Kamloops their home in the early 1940s. Dad was a graduate of first year university from Kamloops Senior Secondary, then attended UBC for six months. He then moved back to the North Thompson Valley to continue his work in the cedar pole/piling business with his father. He and his Dad formed the corporation Gilbert Smith Forest Products Ltd. in 1955. After his Father ‘s retirement in 1957, he continued his position as President of Gilbert Smith Forest Products. They built the first lumber mill in 1968. Dad remained President until 2016. Dad had a very high regard for the “boys.” He always said if it wasn’t for the men, there wouldn’t be a mill. That included the much needed “girls” as well! Dad was well respected by his peers, often referred to as a “Pioneer of the Forest Industry.” Dad sat on numerous boards, and associations, all of which enhanced his interest in the industry. One in particular, Fibreco. He would often reminisce about standing around the bon fire at the North Vancouver site. He served as the Chairman and director for several years for Fibreco. Dad was also a strong advocate of Barriere. In the fire of 2003, Dad’s focus was not on saving his father’s legacy, but saving the jobs that supported Barriere. He also served on the TNRD as well as the Barriere Improvement District. Dad will always be remembered as a straight shooter, in his work and home. You knew where you stood with him! He also had a fun loving side. That was brought out many times on a Sunday at the cabin, on Adams Lake, or as Dad would say “God’s Country.” He was an avid water and snow skier, always with a grin, and enjoyed sharing those times with the ones he loved. His 75th birthday with family and friends at Sun Peaks was a fond memory for him. Dad and Mom also had their “spot” in Maui that they enjoyed annually for several decades.
October 20, 1970 - Chatham, Ontario November 10, 2020 - Calgary, Alberta
Nicole Wershler (née Blondie) of Calgary, AB, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at the age of 50 years. Nicole lived in southern Ontario until 1980, when her family moved to Kamloops, BC. Nicole lived and worked in Jasper for several years, and eventually made it to Calgary, where she met Shane Wershler in late 1998, and married him in 2000. Shane’s job led them to Ottawa - and back to Calgary in 2003. Nicole worked in several industries - excelling at everything she tried. In 2014, Nicole had one of her greatest accomplishments, and graduated from the Thompson Rivers University. She was particularly proud of becoming the “face” of Thompson Rivers University; her image was featured on posters, in movie theatres, on buses and trains - even in the Globe and Mail. She was a regular volunteer with the Calgary Catholic Immigration Society (CCIS) as a mentor, an advocate, a speaker and activist. She focused on professional women and women in trades arriving from different parts of the world. Nicole had a travel bug; her memorable vacations included family camping trips, Europe with Patty, Ecuador with Cynthia, Cyprus with Shane, and numerous spring and winter trips to Mexico with her family. She also loved her scooter, and her “gang” with Lisa. Nicole will be most remembered for her open and approachable nature, her grace, sparkle and her passion for life, her drive to help others, and her sharp and quick sense of humour.
Dad met his beloved wife in the outdoor club and was married to Mom (Dorothy Margaret) for almost 59 years before her passing in 2014. He is also predeceased by his father George Gilbert Smith in 1976, and his mother Carmen Jessie Smith in 1986, brother Harry and niece Heather.
Besides her loving husband Shane, Nicole is survived by her daughter Julia, her son Addison, her mother Suzanne MacDonald of Calgary, AB, her father Bruce Blondie and his partner Ellie Faubert of Port Lambton, ON, brother, Michael Blondie of Airdrie, AB, and Roger Blondie of Moncton, NB, her sister Sarah Blondie of Stratford, ON, as well numerous cousins and friends.
Dad is survived by his children Ted (Shelley), Patti (Tim), three grandchildren Maeghan (Jared), Trevor (Kelly), Cody (Kathleen) and three great-grandchildren Elyse, Emmit and Isla. His brothers Bob and Carman (Barbara), sister-in-law Liz (Dewey) as well as many nieces and nephews, family and friends.
Nicole had a true passion for animals, which resulted in owning rescue dogs, hamsters and a guinea pig. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a local Alberta animal rescue called Heaven Can Wait, which Nicole would greatly approve of: HTTPS://WWW.GOFUNDME.COM/F/INLOVING-MEMORY-OF-NICOLE-BLONDIE-WERSHLER
Due to Covid, there will be no formal celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the Terry Fox Foundation, 150-8960 University High St., Burnaby, BC. V5A 4Y6. A charity near and dear to Dad. He was all smiles while riding in the horse wagon at the Terry Fox Run in Barriere.
Due to Covid 19, the funeral service will be limited to 50 (invitations will be sent), at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Park Memorial, 5008 Elbow Drive SW, Calgary, AB). Condolences, memories and photos may be shared and viewed on Nicole’s obituary at www.McInnisandHolloway.com.
