More restrictions eased in Step 3 of restart plan SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

British Columbia has announced it is moving to Step 3 of its four-step restart plan, lifting pandemic-related restrictions on gatherings, travel, businesses and sports. The province will also lift the provincial state of emergency at midnight on Wednesday, June 30, a declaration that was the longest in the province’s history — 469 days —having been enacted on March 18, 2020. The provincial health emergency, remains in effect. Premier John Horgan and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry made the announcements during a press conference early Tuesday afternoon. “This is a positive step forward for us all, but it’s going to take us some time to adjust and get there,” Henry said. The changes undo much of

what has been implemented during the first six months of 2021, which saw B.C. reach a new high in COVID-19 cases before vaccinations took hold. Personal gatherings are now allowed as normal, masks are no longer required (but remain recommended) and organized gatherings and events will return during Step 3. Sports activity will also pick up and businesses will be able to welcome people back in increased or unlimited capacities. For organized indoor gatherings, the province has placed a limit of 50 people or 50 per cent capacity, whichever is greater. That means that a venue with 200 seats will be able to welcome 100 people. Additionally, all capacity limits on religious gatherings and worship services have been lifted and fairs, festivals and trade shows can return with new communicable disease plans in place.

VIRTUAL CANADA DAY O Canada! Join us from your living room—or anywhere—as we observe Canada Day virtually this year. We're excited to bring you a dynamic and exciting online event that features musical performances, interactive activities, and more! The City has worked with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc to incorporate messaging into this year’s virtual Canada Day event that encourages education on Indigenous culture and heritage. The in-person Canada Day event at Riverside Park, including the fireworks display, was cancelled by organizers earlier this spring due to COVID-19 public health restrictions. The online event will begin July 1 at 11:00 am. For details on performances, activities, and how to watch the event, visit: Kamloops.ca/CanadaDay

HOW TO HELP A PET LEFT IN A HOT CAR Our furry friends can develop heat stroke in under 10 minutes. Dogs can’t sweat like humans, so they cannot effectively cool their bodies if left in a hot car. If you see a dog left in a vehicle: • Note the vehicle's licence plate, colour, make, and model and ask the managers of nearby businesses to page the owner to return to their vehicle immediately. • If the animal is not showing signs of distress, but you are concerned, you may wish to stay by the vehicle to monitor the situation until the owner returns. • If the animal is showing clear signs of heat stroke or other distress symptoms, call Community Services at 250-828-3409 or the BC SPCA call centre at 1-855-622-7722 as soon as possible. To learn more about pet safety and ownership, visit: Kamloops.ca/PetOwnership

Report an issue: 250-828-3461 For after-hours emergencies, press 1.

Let's Talk Kamloops is our engagement website where you can share your voice and shape our city. The COVID-19 pandemic may impact the engagement timelines for some projects. Please subscribe to the project of interest to receive updates. Sign up and speak up at: LetsTalk.Kamloops.ca

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s been a whirlwind few days for a pair of Kamloops mothers who have started a new group aimed at advocating for change in the criminal justice system. Dubbed Kamloops Citizens for Change (KCFC), the new Facebook group has grown to more than 500 members in just the past five days. Co-founder Leah Moss described KCFC as a collection of citizens who are fed up with property crime and open drug use in Kamloops and the failure of the powers-that-be in curbing it. Moss, 42, started KCFC on June 25, when she found fellow resident Bobbie Tinline posting on Facebook the idea of holding a march or protest. She replied about starting their own Facebook page in order to organize their efforts to advocate for change. The group is working on a petition, the wording of which and delivery of are still being developed. Members of the group plan to meet in person next week to discuss how to proceed. “We just started,” Tinline said. “We haven’t even had a chance to figure out who the key leaders are. Our heads are spinning.” The organizers noted they don’t know much about politics, but want change. “We’re both moms, so neither one of us really has the time for this, but we have to do something,” Tinline told KTW. Tinline noted the group quickly attracted members. “I didn’t think we had that many people who were as fed up as we are,” she said. Tinline stressed the group is looking to peacefully spark change, noting they received some online criticism as being a vigilante group, which she said is not true. While some members have joined expressing those sentiments, the administrators have set them straight and Tinline figures some people are just

frustrated and need to vent. “We’re not looking to go and recover people’s stolen property or be a neighbourhood watch group,” Tinline said, adding they want the attention of policy makers to make changes to legislation. KCFC wants to see those who are committing crimes kept off the streets of Kamloops — be it via jail or by receiving mental-health services, Moss said. “Unfortunately, it’s obviously not that simple as I found out in the last 48 hours, but we are going to do everything in our power to make that change,” she said. Since forming the group, Moss said she has had conversations with a few city councillors. While she initially thought council wasn’t doing enough, she has

since learned from councillors that they have pushed the provincial government for change, with few results. Moss has also learned there appears to be a disconnect between the court system and Interior Health when addressing offenders with drug issues. Asked where the group stands on the issue of how to address mental health, drug addiction and homelessness, Moss said she does not yet know, noting she’s new to this. “I’m just a fed up mom who got together with another fed up mom,” Moss said. If a petition doesn’t yield results, KCFC plans to hold peaceful protests or marches.

Pandemic led to city savings in 2020 JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Temporary layoffs and a reduction in overtime expenses led to the city saving $1.9 million in staff pay in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the annual Statement of Financial Information (SOFI), which was reviewed by city council on Tuesday, after KTW’s press deadline, the overall reduction in city remuneration compared to 2019 was 3.1 per cent. In 2020, city staff were paid a total of $62.6 million, compared to $64.6 million in 2019. The city attributes its savings to a reduction in overtime and regular wages of CUPE staff resulting from reduced activities during the pandemic, despite a two per cent increase outlined in the union contract. Overall, the amount paid to CUPE staff in 2020 was $37 million, compared to $38.9

million in 2019, a five per cent reduction. In addition, the city’s firefighters were paid nearly two per cent less last year, at $14.1 million, compared to $14.4 million in 2019. In a report to council, the city said the decrease was due to “the reduction of duties performed by the firefighter group under the Provincial Health Authority’s COVID-19 restrictions, which also resulted in less training opportunities.” The only category of staff to see an increase last year was city management, which saw a 1.6 per cent increase, at $11.5 million, compared to $11.3 million in 2019. Management was supposed to receive a two per cent increase as per a previously

negotiated agreement. The city’s top-earning employees in 2020 were CAO David Trawin ($293,508, including $283,268 salary and $10,240 in benefits); community and protective services director Byron McCorkell ($248,205, including $224,027 salary and $24,179 benefits); corporate services director Kathy Humphrey ($213,515, including $200,989 salary and $12,526 benefits); civic operations director Jen Fretz ($213,515, including $200,989 salary and $12,526 benefits) and development, engineering and sustainability director Marvin Kwiatkowski ($210,029, including $201,050 salary and $8,980 benefits). City employees expensed

$319,899 in 2020, down from $555,732 in 2019. The employees to expense the most in 2020 were Trawin ($6,922, down from $10,930 in 2019); transportation manager Purvez Irani ($6,124); sanitation and sign shop supervisor Graham Lamont ($5,552, up from $3,555 in 2019); 10th-year firefighter Graham MacKenzie ($4,522, up from $892 in 2019) and Kwiatkowski ($4,160, down from $6,032 in 2019). City council was paid $438,972 in 2020, compared to $412,766 in 2019. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian was paid $113,943, including $99,460 in salary and $14,483 in benefits, and expensed $350. It compares to $107,424 paid to the mayor in 2019 ($95,124 salary and $12,300 benefits) and $6,298 in expenses. All but one city councillor was paid $41,017 ($39,784 in salary and $1,233 in benefits) in 2020, with Coun. Sadie Hunter paid $37,908 ($36,675 in salary and

$1,233 in benefits). Coun. Dale Bass expensed the most in 2020, at $1,934, while Coun. Denis Walsh expensed the least, charging nothing. Two severance agreements are noted in the SOFI report, having occurred during the 2020 fiscal year. Limited details are available, but the severance equates to “an average of seven weeks of pay at current rate.” The city’s highest paid contractor is the RCMP, which cost just shy of $22 million in 2020, which was down from 2019’s cost of $22.4 million. In 2020, the city’s next biggest expenses for goods and services included $13.8 million paid to Extreme Excavating, $11.8 million to Pension Corporation, $7.6 million to BC Transit and $7.5 million to BA Dawson Blacktop. The city paid $148,328 to Kamloops This Week and $49,764 to Stingray Radio, which is the parent company of Radio NL. The city also paid $28,470 to Amazon.

Final step of restart plan will be considered on Sept. 7 From A1

For organized outdoor gatherings, limits have been placed at 5,000 people or 50 per cent capacity, whichever is greater. Henry said the rationale behind prescribing half-capacities at venues is to encourage them to use all of their space and, although in some cases strict physical distancing requirements will not be in place, it is expected people will still be spread out. Travel restrictions have also been lifted and B.C. will welcome back out-of-province travellers from within Canada for recreational purposes. Changes to businesses will primarily affect the food and entertainment industries. Restaurants, bars and pubs will no longer have group limits for indoor or outdoor dining and events are allowed once again. For nightclubs, 10 people can sit at tables, spaced two metres apart, with no socializing between tables and no dancing. Casinos will be permitted to operate with reduced capacity

PREMIER JOHN HORGAN and gambling stations can operate at “approximately 50 per cent capacity,” according the province’s updated rules. Additionally, B.C. will move away from COVID-19 safety plans and toward communicable disease plans. WorkSafeBC and public health will work together to help transition businesses to the new plans. Some features of past plans, such as physical barriers, will remain in place. In sports, all indoor fitness classes, gyms and recreation facilities are once again allowed to operate

at normal capacity. Additionally, outdoor sporting events can have 5,000 spectators or 50 per cent of normal capacity, whichever is greater. For indoor events, venues are allowed 50 spectators or 50 per cent capacity, whichever is greater. At Rogers Arena, for example, as many as 9,455 spectators may be allowed after July 1. For Horgan, Tuesday’s press conference was also a chance to thank Henry for being the face of B.C.’s pandemic response. “It has been an extraordinary time. I think although we are continuing to struggle with a host of issues, I hope people will forgive us a little levity today, particularly on behalf of Dr. Henry, who as [Health Minister] Adrian [Dix] so eloquently said, has been everywhere, for all of us, for what seems like an eternity,” he said. The province has set a minimum date of Sept. 7 to move to its fourth and final step of the restart plan, when event capacities will increase once again and mask use will shift from recommended to “personal choice” for indoor public spaces.

Do you have a Child who receives Disability Assistance Payments? The Province of BC has dramatically increased the asset limits for disability benefit eligibility from $5000 to $100,000 per person. This means recipients can receive and keep cash gifts, such as inheritances/gifts from parents or relatives, without impacting their eligibility for disability assistance payments. In many cases, we continue to recommend that clients who have disabled children (whether adult or child, dependent or independent) write a Will that establishes a trust to hold the disabled child’s inheritance. The parents would name a Trustee to manage the trust fund, and establish guidelines for the use of the money. This is especially necessary when the child has a disability that may impede their ability to manage money or be responsible for their own aﬀairs. If you have questions about how best to provide for your loved one with a disability, we can help.

Promises, promises, why do we believe?

he legislature is empty, no longer awake, but the premier has promises to break — and miles of questions he cannot shake. Yes, Premier John Horgan appears to have broken his promise to Kamloops voters — that a full-service cancer clinic would be open in the city by the end of the NDP’s four-year term upon being elected in October 2020. The idea is to enhance cancer care locally so residents would no longer be required to travel to Kelowna and other communities for radiation treatment. Granted, the NDP is only eight months into a 48-month term, but under questioning by local B.C. Liberal MLAs Todd Stone and Peter Milobar, Horgan has finally conceded the cancer clinic is actually part of his government’s 10-year plan. Of course, that is not what Horgan said on Oct. 17, 2020, exactly one week before voters went to the polls.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS On that day at Thompson Rivers University, Horgan was asked if the promise of a cancer clinic for Kamloops would be fulfilled within the four-year mandate of his government if it won the election (which is did, with a decisive majority). His answer: “The services will be prepared and be delivered within the mandate of the next government, absolutely.” He repeated that assertion when he spoke to Radio NL

only four months ago. That particular question was asked, of course, because Kamloops voters may have been experiencing a nauseating bout of deja vu. The city was also promised a cancer clinic by a B.C. NDP leader soliciting votes in the 1991 provincial election campaign. Thirty years ago, Mike Harcourt promised this burgh a cancer clinic if voters would simply elect an NDP government. The New Democrats won in a rout — and the cancer clinic promised to Kamloops went to Kelowna. Should we be surprised any longer when a politician’s promise becomes so much pixie dust? After being burned so many times, why do we put faith in such pledges? The premise of a political promise is the possibility of a perpetual panacea. That alone should always keep us on our toes. But do broken promises even matter to politicians? Apparently not, as we can see with previous pledges that have been pulverized.

Perhaps the most significant broken promise of our time was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s about-face on electoral reform. When campaigning in 2015, Trudeau guaranteed voters the 2015 election would be the last under the first-past-the-post system and that a form of proportional representation was on its way. In the 2019 federal election, Trudeau formed a minority government in a first-past-the-post election. And has anybody checked the bulging bank account of the B.C. government? You know, the one stuffed with riches from our province’s LNG bounty? That 2013 promise by thenLiberal leader and premier Christy Clark was as empty as her government’s vow that same year that every resident in British Columbia would have a doctor. Every time you pay that hated five per cent GST on purchases, do Jean Chretien’s words echo in your head? “It’s a promise I am making and

it’s very clear. It’s going. It’s gone.” The then-Liberal leader promised again and again during the 1993 election campaign to axe the Conservative-created tax. Chretien’s Liberals roared to victory amid that pledge. Meanwhile, the GST turned 30 this year. And we don’t have enough room to even begin to document the centuries-long line of broken promises of successive governments in dealing with the Indigenous people of Canada, from torn-up treaties to a failure to follow through on reconciliation work as recommended by commissions the government itself created. Lynne Anderson famously retorted that, contrary to what you may believe, she never promised you a rose garden. But politicians have and continue to do so — though it is hard to see the flowers for all the thorns. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

Righting the severe wrongs of a shameful past Since the Kamloops Indian Residential School news broke, essentially confirming what many First Nations people have known all along, the country has been rightly gripped by the horror of Indigenous children in unmarked graves. It’s only truly a surprise for many nonIndigenous people who, by and large, have remained blissfully ignorant of the residential school system. For nearly 80,000 survivors, this is still a very personal living memory and only one

round of grand statements, hollow promises and meagre action. Or we can seize this moment once and for all and truly embark on a path of righting this country’s shameful cultural genocide. The watershed Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada set the stage for action going forward, but progress is lacklustre. The situation looks all too familiar. An outpouring of sympathy, pledges of support, apologies, promises and lots of words.

It’s time for domestic legal processes and international pressure on the Vatican. The Church, including the Pope, need to fully engage. If the Canadian government feels it’s not up to the task, then it’s time for the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous peoples to step in.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR AN APOLOGY CRIME IN CITY ONLY GETTING WORSE FOR TERM USED AT COUNCIL Editor: I need to make an apology for a term I used at a recent Kamloops council meeting. When searching for the right word to describe our past community attempts to get a car-sharing going, I used a term “stillbirths.” Here is one comment I received, from a friend who was kind enough to share privately: “I had never seen this used that way before and hope I never do again. A ‘stillbirth’ is devastating to a family — immediate, extended and friends of the family.” I am so sorry that I used this term and undoubtedly caused pain. Somehow, every once in a while, a word comes out of my mouth at council that I wish I could take back. I definitely need to reflect on this with a view to always choosing my words carefully. Arjun Singh Kamloops councillor

Editor: Re: Maureen Light’s letter of June 16 (‘Have we been defeated by the criminals?’): Kudos to Light for raising a contentious issue in Kamloops. Why would the city attempt any beautification or enhancement of the downtown core when folks are bombarded with loud music, profane language, confrontations, lewd comments and gross scenes? Businesses with broken doors from Valleyview to the North Shore — as

reported by KTW, where a business owner was told by trespassers that “we own the streets” — indicates increasing vandalism to go with thefts and breakins. The downtown core from Riverside Park to Seymour Street is unsafe or, at the least, certainly edgy — and not just at night. We all accept that homeless people need social connection and have rights, but not at the expense of the rest of society. Light’s question of increased police presence is poignant. Bike patrols and

enforcing standards might help. Her comment about chop shops probably explains my quandary of why so many homeless people in Kamloops ride top-notch bicycles. Don’t tell me the authorities aren’t aware of them. In the interim, one can only feel for businesses attempting a post-COVID-19 comeback amidst the criminal activities and bad behaviour. If the spate of burnings in Nanaimo are indicative, it can only get worse. Noel Summers Kamloops

I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO CRY Editor: June 21 was National Aboriginal Day and someone at work suggested I watch a documentary called My Legacy. If I could sum it up, I’d call it the story of how residential schools shut children down, the story of how unlove and abuse steals the trust of a child and replaces it with anger and hurt, the pain of which is too great to bear, so it turns to numbness. In the documentary, a resi-

dential school survivor described feeling that her sexual abuse was her fault, “even though you’re a little girl and you were sleeping.” I have no experience of that kind of abuse, but that line makes me afraid to close my eyes. I distracted myself with my phone for a while after I got into bed, but when I eventually allowed myself to be still, I wept and heaved. The more I thought about my fear of imagining the suffering

compared to the fear of a child who lived it, the more I cried. I cried to the point of hopelessness. I wonder if I now carry a part, however small, of that numbing burden of pain. Except that I don’t have so much of it that it numbs me. Instead, the pain pours out of me in tears. There is something to the flow of water. It’s generally a good thing when water is flowing and gener-

When the pavement is so hot one could fry an egg on its surface, it’s time for workers paving hot asphalt to call it quits. City roads projects — including work on Tranquille Road, Fleetwood Avenue and Third Avenue — have been put on hold as the city scales back some operations amidst continued record-breaking heat in Kamloops and across B.C. In addition,the Mission Flats Landfill and Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre will open

slightly earlier and operate for a half-days on Wednesday, from 7 a.m. to noon. The landfills usually open an hour or so later, around 8 a.m., and close at about 4 p.m. The facilities are expected to return to regular hours on Canada Day. Meanwhile, as the city reduces some hours as a response to heat, it has increased access to facilities that provide reprieve from the sun. The city’s spray parks are open an hour earlier, operating from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the rest of the week. In addition, the Sandman Centre cooling

centre — which opened to the public last week for the duration of the current heat wave — is open a couple of hours longer, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. It will also be open on Canada Day. A cooling centre at Memorial Arena downtown is open 24 hours a day, while a cooling centre at the Sk’elep School of Excellence at Tk’emlúps te Secwépenmc is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The city said it will monitor the forecast and determine whether measures may need to be extended. For more information, call 250-828-3461.

An early campfire ban KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

One of the earliest provincewide campfire bans in recent memory takes effect on Wednesday. Due to the current record-breaking heat wave, the provincial government has announced that all open fires, including campfires, will be banned as of noon on Wednesday. The prohibition will remain in effect until noon on Oct. 15 or until the order is rescinded. In 2020, as the pandemic took hold, campfires were banned in the spring, but the ban was lifted in April. There was no campfire

ban enacted in 2019. In addition to campfires and open fires, the following activities are also prohibited: • the use of fireworks; • the use of sky lanterns; • the use of burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description; • the use of binary exploding targets; • the use of tiki and similar kinds of torches; • the use of chimineas; • the use of outdoor stoves or other portable campfire apparatus without a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Underwriter Laboratories of Canada (ULC) rating.

To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1-800-663-5555 tollfree or *5555 on a cellphone. Anyone found in contravention of an openburning prohibition may be issued a violation ticket for $1,150, may be required to pay an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Sparks Lake fire leads to evacuation alerts SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A wildfire burning about 15 kilometres north of the west end of Kamloops Lake saw substantial growth overnight from Monday to Tuesday, measuring 350 hectares in size as of Tuesday afternoon. The Sparks Lake fire was ignited in the early evening hours of Monday. It is suspected to be human-caused, but the BC Wildfire Service won’t know its origin until an investigation is completed. On Monday, dozens of wildland firefighters, helicopters and air tankers

attacked the blaze, but its growth was only slowed. Just before 11 p.m. on Monday the ThompsonNicola Regional District issued an evacuation alert for nine properties near the fire — most on Tranquille-Criss Creek Road. As of Tuesday morning, the fire had grown to 350 hectares in size and was still out of control. In response, the BC Wildfire Service will continue its air attack operations, including the use of air tankers and four helicopters, along with three pieces of heavy equipment and 47 personnel on the ground. BC Wildfire Service fire information officer

Madison Smith said the blaze has been designated as a fire of note because of the evacuation alert and size of the blaze. The fire, which is the largest and closest fire to Kamloops to date in 2021, comes after the region experienced its seconddriest spring on record, below-average rainfall in June and extreme recordsetting heat over the past week. • The fire has led Environment Canada to issue a special air quality statement for the Kamloops area. The region is being impacted or is likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke Wednesday and Thursday.

DRIVE IN

The day-long search for the driver began on Monday morning, when police received a call about a possibly impaired driver whose vehicle had been seen striking a parked car in Aberdeen. Police responded and found the vehicle — a red Charger that was reported stolen from another city. Police say a traffic stop was attempted, but the driver fled and crashed the stolen Charger into a light pole outside the Kamloops This Week office in the 1300-block of Dalhousie Drive.

Jesse O’Donaghey said a complainant told police the driver, an adult man, was in front of the complainant’s home, swearing and exposing himself. “Before police could arrive at the location, the suspect departed in his vehicle and was reportedly observed swerving all over the roadway, hitting other vehicles,” O’Donaghey said in a statement. Officers eventually found the vehicle, a red Charger that was reported stolen from another city.

O’Donaghey said a traffic stop was attempted, but the driver fled and crashed the stolen Charger into a light pole outside the Kamloops This Week office in the 1300-block of Dalhousie Drive in Southgate. According to police, the driver of the crashed car ran to a nearby mechanic’s shop and stole a second vehicle — a silver Honda Civic — striking a police officer in the process of leaving. O’Donaghey said the officer was “partially run over.” Police said Mounties did not pursue the vehicle from that point due to an extensive risk

to the public, though various checkpoints were established, including one on Overlanders Bridge. Police then received word the vehicle was seen travelling on the Coquihalla Highway toward Merritt and other detachments were notified, with the arrest taking place in Merritt. The man’s name has not yet been released, pending formal charges by Crown. Police are asking the public for any dash-cam video related to the incident to help with the investigation.

SD73 board taps Ralph Bell for re-opening SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

The School District 73 board of education has voted to reopen Ralph Bell elementary in Valleyview, but the decision on catchment area changes affecting Juniper Ridge elementary, pitched by district staff, has yet to be made. In April, the district proposed changes to a number of catchment areas for Kamloops schools as a way to deal with overcrowded classrooms — a

problem that affects most Kamloops schools. All of those changes have now been addressed, except for one. To ease pressure on Juniper Ridge elementary in Juniper Ridge and Marion Schilling elementary in nearby Valleyview, the district planned on re-opening Ralph Bell elementary and redrawing catchment borders to ensure future students would be evenly divided between the schools. That didn’t sit well with a number of Juniper Ridge residents, who argued the change

would divide the neighbourhood, among other complaints. While the school board did approve the reopening of Ralph Bell elementary late Monday night (June 28), it decided to defer its decision on catchment area changes to next week’s meeting. “This is for September 2022, right? I don’t think we’re going to benefit from hashing this out tonight,” school trustee John O’Fee said after the board had voted to extend the meeting beyond its usual 9 p.m. cutoff. During the consultation

period, district staff received 116 comments from 84 people, 44 questions and two petitions of about 500 signatures each. In addition,150 people participated in a public forum, which was held online, with another 3,100 watched the recording. District staff provided exhaustive responses to questions and a number of alternative ideas that were pitched to deal with the overcrowding issue. Ultimately, the district found those ideas were not viable or

brought up other issues. Trustee Shelley Sim said she was “not comfortable” voting for changes to the catchment area, but did acknowledge that overcapacity schools are causing a strain on the education system. Sim said she wanted to find a solution that did not involve changes to catchment areas, but did not propose an alternative motion on Monday evening. The issue will be back on the table at next week’s board meeting, on Monday, July 5.

demand for their services.” The plans detailed include a single entrance in and out of the properties, which require consolidation prior to issuance of a building permit, and a design rendering shows three large bays.

Coal train traffic has 2141 eyeing Armstrong run JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Heritage Railway hopes to keep chugging down the tracks through CN coal dust as it is plans to shift from offering in-town rail tours, via the historic 2141 steam engine, to journeys between Kamloops and Armstrong. The proposal is the result of increased coal transportation on CN rail lines as the trains pass through the downtown core. The increased train traffic will lead to fewer but longer trips for the 2141 and change in location of departures and arrivals, from the heritage CN Rail Station in downtown Kamloops to Campbell Creek in the eastern part of the city. On Monday (June 28), the city’s finance committee heard a presentation from Kamloops Heritage Railway executive director Cory Clark, who is requesting from council permission to transfer existing city funding — totalling $210,000 in 2021 — through a service agreement toward the new initiative, dubbed the Armstrong Explorer. Clark touted the plan as one that would create one of the “premier” steam engine experiences in the world, drawing European tourists who also hop aboard the Rocky Mountaineer for that rail tour company’s trips across B.C. At the same time, Clark said the decision was not the choice of the society. He said CN is no longer able to provide the society with time to operate its local rail tours, leaving the Armstrong run as the only option. “Right now, during the peak, you’re looking at potentially 10 coal trains a day,” Clark said.

“Each one of those coal trains taking about two hours to clear the track, so, just in coal trains, you’re looking at up to 20 hours a day and you’ve got freight on top of that. Then you have Rocky Mountaineer on top of that, so CN is no longer able to give us that two-hour chunk of time that we require to run to the Halston Bridge and back.” Clark said it would cause chaos throughout the line. “It really is CN that is pushing us out to Armstrong,” Clark said. The proposed Armstrong tour would depart at 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays from Campbell Creek. Clark said departure from Campbell Creek will allow for a “delay-free experience.” Upon arrival in Armstrong 108 kilometres east of Kamloops, passengers can have lunch and explore the town before returning to the train and arriving in Kamloops at 5:30 p.m. The rail voyage would be longer than current in-town tours. However, the fre-

quency would be reduced from 40 seasonal trips to 16 in a regular year. This year, eight trips are proposed, beginning in September, when COVID19 restrictions are scheduled to be lifted if the current downturn in case counts continues. Clark said the new tour will net the society $19,000 in income per trip — money that will help to “advance cultural content,” he said. A diesel locomotive will be needed to run the train in reverse and there is a need to upgrade car wheels to rail regulatory standards. The society will also hire staff. Clark said the BC Cattleman’s Association is allowing the society to load and unload passengers at its facility. The steam engine will travel from its downtown yard to Campbell Creek on Fridays and spend the night, ready to go on Saturday morning. Security will be onsite overnight. “They [BC Cattleman’s Association]

have allowed us a parking area to park potentially up to 200 cars and they have also allowed us access to the rail space that they have and allowed us to build a little platform so that we can safely load and unload our guests,” he said. Clark said the trip will also result in positive economic spinoffs, such as hotel stays, restaurant visits, employment and revenue for businesses that support the operations of the steam engine. Coun. Mike O’Reilly suggested the community of Armstrong should pitch in, as economic spinoff will occur in that area. Clark said he met with Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, who did not commit to funding this year. Clark noted the larger spinoff would be in Kamloops, where ticket sales revenue and job creation will stay. Council will have the ultimate say at a later date. “One thing that I will say is that, for the longest time, almost 30 years, 2141 has been part of the face of Kamloops and we want to continue to be one of the things that Kamloops is known for,” Clark said.

Be Wise

A shortage of workers is plaguing Kamloops hotels and restaurants just as they struggle to get back on their feet following months of closures and interruptions due to the pandemic. The federal government’s job bank shows dozens of available jobs for kitchen and service staff for Kamloops, but the problem isn’t unique to the city. Fox’n Hounds Pub owner Al Deacon said his Sahali Mall pub is lacking bar staff, serving staff, hostesses and kitchen staff. “We’ve had ads running on Indeed, Kijiji, Facebook for five months,” he said. Deacon has owned the pub for 35 years and said lately, as customers begin to return, it’s the hardest he’s ever worked. “I’m the guy here at 5 a.m. receiving the product and also the guy behind the bar until my night guy gets here,” he said. Deacon said he has had people applying, but most only want to work 12 to 18 hours per week. He said staff who had to be laid off, only to be brought back on and laid off again, don’t want to deal with the uncertainty. “People just saw it as an opportunity to switch vocations. We lost one to the

nursing program, a couple of others to health care, you know ... health care is desperate. They’re paying these kids to go to school. We can’t compete,” he said. The province currently offers a number of incentives for those looking to work in health care, including paid training. Deacon said he has lost four full-time workers during the pandemic and has struggled to cover his expenses, with limited orders coming from curbside pickup when the pub couldn’t open due to pandemic-related restrictions. The effects of the labour shortage are also being felt in the accommodation industry, which faces a similar lack of food service staff, but also shortages in housekeepers, front-desk clerks and maintenance. Bryan Pilbeam, general manager at the Delta Hotel in Kamloops, said every department at the downtown hotel has job openings. When asked why he thought the shortage was occurring, Pilbeam said there isn’t a simple answer. “I think there’s certainly people who have left the industry. I think there are people who are just working less in their lives,” he said. Similar to Deacon’s experience with people wishing to work fewer hours, Pilbeam said some of his employees are wanting to

work 28 to 30 hours per week. While customers are returning to restaurants slowly, the rush to hotels is already on. Pilbeam said he is already seeing soldout dates in July — the first time in two years that has occurred. “The demand has been significant. There’s an increase in corporate travel, in leisure group travel. Some sports teams are starting to travel, baseball and fastpitch is coming to town in July,” he told KTW. Pilbeam said weddings are also being booked “almost daily” and available banquet and event staff will soon be busy. “We just hope it continues because it’s a big hole to climb out of,” he said. In order to meet that demand, Pilbeam said he has offered a number of incentives to workers, including a referral program for current employees, who would be rewarded for helping to bring in other workers. He said he has also increased wages. But at the Fox’n Hounds Pub, there are fewer options for Deacon to do so, noting he already finds labour to be expensive. He’s had to rely on family to help out. “We are bleeding money. We’ve almost been closed as many months as we’ve been opened for the past 15 months,” Deacon said.

A Confederation expedition KEN FAVRHOLDT

The 150th anniversary

SPECIAL TO KTW

his July, 150 years ago, British Columbia joined the Confederation of Canada. Kamloops was at the time an insignificant place, but soon gained importance as the survey for the Canadian Pacific Railway began. A transcontinental passage was one of the promises of Confederation. Benjamin Baltzly, a 36-year old American-born photographer who was hired by the Notman Studio of Montreal, became part of the Canadian Pacific Railway project when, in June 1871, he was chosen to accompany the Geological Survey of Canada on an expedition through British Columbia. The expedition was led by geologist Alfred R.C. Selwyn, director of the Geological Survey. As his first task as director of the survey, Selwyn mounted an arduous expedition to investigate the geology and resources along the proposed railroad routes. Beset with delays and other difficulties, the expedition left Montreal on June 26, going by train through the United States. Upon reaching San Francisco, they missed their steamboat connection to Victoria and, after arriving, were further delayed for two weeks trying to find camping equipment. Journeying by steamboat across the Georgia Strait and up the Fraser River, the party reached Yale on July 27, but was forced to walk along the Cariboo Road up the Fraser River Canyon, then travel by stage-

On July 20, 1871, British Columbia joined the Confederation of Canada. Baltzly in his journal recorded the event in Victoria: “About midnight — I was awakened from a sound sleep by the ringing of bells, exploding of firecrackers, Roman candles, bursting of sky rockets, hurrahs and shouting of every description … It occurred to me that it was ‘Confederation Day’ and thus at this early hour the Victorians began to celebrate the day. Frequently we heard the Victorians say: ‘We are Canadians now.’ There seemed to be a great deal of unanimity about the matter.” — Benjamin Baltzly, Photographs & Journal of an Expedition through British Columbia: 1871 by Andrew Birrell, Toronto: The Coach House Press, 1978.

coach from Lytton to Savona Ferry, where they met a group of the railway survey. Baltzly and a few of his party explored Kamloops Lake by boat. At Tranquille Mills, they met William and Jane Fortune, who put them up. Baltzly took their picture at the gristmill. It took two weeks in Kamloops to find horses and men for the expedition up the North Thompson River, Selwyn’s main objective. The party now consisted

of Selwyn (geologist), Baltzly (photographer), John Hammond (assistant photographer), John Peterson (packer), Philip Jaco (Secwépemc packer), Abraham LaRue (Secwépemc guide and translator), James Dean (cook) and Donald McPhail (axeman and general assistant). They also had 15 horses and a dog. Throughout their ascent of the North Thompson, the survey party was plagued by almost continuous bad weather, fog, rain and snow.

Trails had to be cleared and cut in order to proceed. The poor condition of the horses due to lack of feed slowed their progress. After reaching the Leather (or Yellowhead Pass) on Oct. 21, short on rations and due to the lateness of the season, Selwyn made the decision for the party to retrace its steps south to Kamloops. Many of the horses had died and the rest, too weak to travel, were left to fend for themselves. Near Albreda Lake, south of present-day Valemount, they camped for four days and resorted to making dugout canoes, instructed by their

Secwépemc guides. On Nov. 2, they embarked in four canoes and, although they made good time down the river, their troubles were not over. The canoe containing Baltzly’s eight-by-10-inch photographic negatives capsized in the Murchison Rapids and only a fluke of good luck saved them. The box of negatives had lodged under the cross-piece of the canoe, but after drying them over a campfire, were found to be in perfect condition. Reduced to only two small canoes, they loaded the nonessential baggage, including the photographic equipment, and sent them off under the guidance of the two Secwépemc in one canoe and two other Indigenous men from the CPR survey party in the other. The rest of the party walked, often in snow up to their knees. At Clearwater River, they were able to find a boat and made the rest of the journey with relative ease, except for a few portages They arrived in Kamloops on Nov. 17 and Baltzly and Selwyn reached Montreal on Dec. 26, travelling the same route as they had come, via Victoria and San Francisco. As it turned out, the Kicking Horse Pass, not the Yellowhead Pass route, was eventually chosen by the CPR. The railway would not be built for another decade and the physical promise of Confederation was not completed through B.C. until 1885.

Kaay left off Olympics team MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

hock, confusion and sadness have accompanied Isaac Kaay since his Olympic dreams were dashed. Kaay, a 27-yearold rugby sevens player from Kamloops, was told last Monday he will not toil for Canada at the postponed 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo, news that was released for public consumption on Friday by Rugby Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee. “You give up so much and your parents give up so much and people around you give up so much, so I felt like I almost failed them, in a way,” Kaay said. “That was really hard. “I had my day of sadness. I’m not going to dwell on it. I’m not going to let it define me as a human being. I’m going to support the guys, even if it’s from afar.” Henry Paul, head coach of the men’s Canadian rugby sevens team, said 19 players who have been training in Langford with Team Canada were eligible to crack the 13-man travelling roster. Paul analyzed more than 500 hours of footage, taking into account technical prowess, tactical intelligence, sportsmanship, mentality, analytics data and other factors before making excruciatingly tough decisions, he said. “I just saw a couple of other things in other players,” Paul said, noting Kaay was in com-

petition with two or three teammates. “That’s how difficult it was. It was literally down to the last nth degree on what this player could do and how they work overall among the team. “It was really close and it wasn’t an easy decision and I’d hate to make it again. Had there been more time, I think he might have been able to work through a few issues.” Kaay was still processing the disappointment on Friday when he spoke to KTW. “I took the news with a bit of frustration and, to be honest with you, a lot of confusion, as most of my teammates did, as well, but I guess that’s just sport,” Kaay said. “At the end of

the day, the coach has the say. “The confusion comes from just being such, especially with how my teammates have seen me over the past few years, a contributing factor to the team for a long time and a senior player on the team.” Paul took over head coaching reins from Damian McGrath, who was fired in 2019. Kaay has not missed an HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series stop since his debut in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2017. He has travelled the world and played in 164 Rugby Sevens Series matches, racking up 23 tries, 115 points and seven yellow cards.

In the team’s most recent major event, the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series stop in Vancouver in March of 2020, Kaay was named DHL Impact Player of the tournament. “Respect to Isaac,” Paul said. “He’s a huge part of this team, well-liked and friends with all the guys. I know it’s really difficult for the players on the team, as well.” Kaay suffered a knee injury (torn lateral collateral ligament) in January and was sidelined when the Canadians travelled to Dubai in April for an Olympic tune-up tournament, missing out on an opportunity to impress team brass. “That put back his time to

really show me all the things he can do,” Paul said. Kaay said he has recovered well. He was able to play in a recent string of exhibition matches against Rugby Canada Pacific Pride Performance Academy on Vancouver Island. “To be left out was a bit of a surprise to most guys,” Kaay said. “I was confused just because I thought I was in a good place, but I wasn’t. “All I know is I didn’t fit into the plans going into Tokyo. It was just a big shock and there wasn’t a whole lot of questions asked on either side.” See PAUL, A33

Heat wave forcing minor sports schedule changes MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Record-breaking temperatures are forcing minor sports organizations to cancel programming or alter scheduling amid the heat. The Kamloops Youth Soccer Association cancelled afternoon games on Saturday and Sunday for players participating in the community-level wrap-up jamboree. “The heat was just too high,” KYSA technical director Ciaran McMahon told KTW. Select-level programs are going ahead, but activities were cancelled on Monday and Tuesday. “We’re keeping an eye on this Sunday (July 4) to see if we can get a few games in this weekend,” McMahon said. “Earlier games can be scheduled. We’re doing what we can to create a cooler environment.”

During the pandemic, I became weirdly obsessed with cooking shows on the Food Network. One in particular that I really like is called Chopped. The premise is contestants have to open a mystery basket containing four obscure ingredients that most people would not only never consume, but probably don’t have handy in their pantry. The contestants need to think on their feet and, while these items need to be the main component of the dish, the cooks have unlimited access to the fridge, pantry and deep fryers on set. An example of some of the show’s past quartet of ingredients included watermelon, canned sardines, jack pepper cheese and zucchini Another grouping included goat chops, pickled eggs, beet hummus and raisin bran. Watching this program took me back to my childhood, when I was in elementary school and went to my friend’s home for lunch. Her mom served me a peanut butter, lettuce and mayonnaise sandwich. It was so flipping fantastic. I recently took to my social media platforms to ask if others have some weird food concoctions that sound nasty, but are delicious. Here were some of the many responses: • glazed donuts with mustard; • toasted peanut butter/tomato sandwich;

We’re well beyond that.” The bantam RiverDogs were slated to host games last weekend, but they were postponed. Play is expected to resume once temperatures recede below 40 C, Balison said. Environment Canada is forecasting a high of 43 C on Wednesday, with a 40 per cent chance of showers. The forecast for the remainder of the week: 38 C and sunny on Thursday and Friday and 39 C and sunny on Saturday.

Kaay told KTW earlier this month, prior to team selection, that he and Paul occasionally butted heads, but it was for the betterment of the team, just a veteran player and coach hashing things out. Paul was asked about his relationship with Kaay. “I think our relationship is really professional,” Paul said. “In terms of butting heads, conflict is good. There are times, because he’s a senior player, he’s got every right, time and a place, to bring up things. We’re not always going to agree on everything. “My relationship with Isaac, I think, was pretty good. We could talk on the phone at any time. We talked quite often, especially with his injury, with things I was looking for from him. I just felt, when I kind of fit everyone together, there were just a few things that didn’t really fit. It was a real tough one.” Rugby sevens made its

As sad as I’m allowed to be, I’m also really happy for those guys. It’s this weird thing where I’ve got to get over being sad because I’ve got to be happy for them, too.”

Future of hunting, fishing in the hands of us all THE BIG QUESTION: CAN ANYTHING WE DO NOW EXTEND THE LIFE OF OUR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES?

here’s a lot of concern among hunters and anglers these days for the future of their sports. Over the past several years, government decisions to ban grizzly bear hunting in B.C. and spring black bear hunting in Ontario made many hunters nervous that their brand of hunting could be next. The Ontario government reinstated the spring black bear hunt just this year. It took more than 20 years of sustained hard effort from Ontario hunters for that to happen. A new effort is afoot in B.C., it seems, on the part of a group of activists that wants to ban all large predator hunting, sparking a significant response from our sporting community. More than 20,000 people here signed a petition this spring, urging our government to make science-based decisions when it comes to wildlife management — not decisions based on emotion and “social licence.” (More information on that campaign can be found online at https://www.wildsheepsociety. com/actnow/. It’s not too late to add your name.) It’s great that some of the 110,000 or so hunters in B.C. took the time to sign the petition. But is it enough? There’s no easy answer and likely no magic solution that will

ROBERT KOOPMANS The Outdoor

NARRATIVE save hunting and fishing forever. The day may come when our society is moved so far in one direction that outdoor sports involving the killing, capture or pursuit of animals will cease. I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime, and likely not in my daughters’ lives, but after that, who knows? The big question: Can anything we do now extend the life of our outdoor activities? People want to know if there is more we can do to protect our activities from those who wield social media, emotion and graphic images to impact voters who live far from places we like to visit. I believe there is plenty we can do — and it starts close to home. First, continue to enjoy doing what you do in the outdoors. It’s easy to get frustrated by political events, news stories, Twitter emo-

tion and opportunities denied. Some people decide it isn’t worth it anymore and quit. More people have set aside their shotguns, rifles and fishing rods in the past two decades than ever before. The loss of outdoor-loving sportspeople hurts, as what has become a minority group becomes even smaller. Stay out there. Take your family and have a good time. Give your kids the chance to develop a love of the outdoors all their own. Too busy? Need to skip a hunting or a fishing season? Buy a licence anyway. At least some of that money goes back to the wild through Habitat Conservation Trust Fund allocations and the politicians counting votes will not see a diminishing population of outdoor enthusiasts. Perhaps most importantly, do

everything in the outdoors scrupulously. Don’t take questionable shots or kill more fish than regulations allow. Do everything as if there is an environmental activist watching over you with an iPhone, looking for YouTube video. Be disgusted when you witness disregard for the rules and report lawbreakers. Most non-hunters don’t disagree with hunting, but that changes quickly if they see or hear about incidents in which animals suffer or when hunters or anglers kill more game than allowed. If you choose to debate nonor anti-hunters, be informed. Don’t be rude. Anger and offthe-cuff remarks do little to foster goodwill. Accept the fact not all agree with hunting and fishing. Respect differences of opinion. It’s hard to expect anyone to

respect our beliefs if we aren’t prepared to extend the same courtesy. And please, be respectful of the pictures and videos you post on your Facebook pages. No one says you shouldn’t take photos of your days in the field, but bear in mind not everyone wants or needs to see them. The difference between a non-hunter and an anti-hunter is often one ugly picture on social media. Develop a sense of ethics and respect beyond what is required by the rules. It’s not wise to ignore the continuing threats to hunting and fishing or pretend we won’t be affected. Everyone who takes up a rod or rifle must accept some responsibility for the future in some fashion. Hunters and anglers have little to gain and lots to lose. It’s hard to see the day we will be handed more opportunity. But it will be harder yet to watch what we have left continue to be taken away.

ANOTHER ‘AFFORDABLE’ BRICK IN THE WALL

Construction on the housing project on St. Paul Street continues in the heat. The City of Kamloops has partnered with the John Howard Society of the Thompson Region and BC Housing to build the 52-unit housing complex downtown at the corner of St. Paul Street and Fifth Avenue in the latest in a string of affordable housing projects in Kamloops. The project is geared toward providing housing to singles, families, seniors and people with disabilities and mental-health issues.

Overdose deaths continue to climb in B.C. KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Through the first five months of this year, there have been 851 overdose deaths in B.C., which puts the province on pace to exceed the record 1,728 deaths recorded in 2020. In Kamloops, there have been 26 deaths. Last year, the city recorded 60 deaths. Latest data from the BC Coroners Service shows at least 160 people died from suspected drug overdoses in May — the second-highest monthly tally of such deaths ever recorded. Only May of 2020 registered more monthly deaths, at 177. Through the first five months of this year, there have been 851 overdose deaths in B.C., which puts the province on pace to exceed the record 1,728 deaths recorded in 2020. Those 1,728 deaths last year equalled

an average of 144 deaths per month. Through May this year, there have been an average of 170 overdose deaths per month. In Kamloops, there were seven overdose deaths recorded in May, bringing the total number of such deaths to 26. Last year, there were 60 overdose deaths recorded in the city. Kamloops has the sixth-most recorded overdose deaths this year among communities in B.C. Vancouver (199), Surrey (108), Victoria (65), Abbotsford (34) and Burnaby (31) have recorded the most deaths. Of the 851 people who have died this year, 70 per cent were between the ages of 30 and 59 and 80 per cent were male. “More than five years into this public health emergency, we continue to lose our loved ones, friends and neighbours at an almost unimaginable rate,” said Lisa Lapointe, chief coroner of the BC

Coroners Service. “There is no way to measure the catastrophic impact that the loss of these lives have had on every community in our province. Today, I grieve with all those who have lost someone close to them as a result of this crisis.” The overall rate of deaths due to toxic illicit drugs in British Columbia now stands at 39.3 per 100,000 residents. Every health authority in the province has recorded a death rate greater than 33.6 per 100,000 residents, the previous provincial high established in 2020. Expedited toxicological results indicate the variability of the drug supply continues to pose a threat to substance users, as 27 per cent of the samples tested in April and 25 per cent of samples tested in May contained extreme concentrations (more than 50 micrograms per litre) of fentanyl, the highest rates reported since at least the

beginning of 2019. Carfentanil, a more potent analogue of fentanyl, has now been detected in 75 deaths in 2021 after being identified in 65 investigations in all of 2020. Additionally, 60 per cent of returned tests in May were positive for benzodiazepines, which create significant life-saving challenges for first responders when used in combination with opioids. “As the COVID-19 pandemic begins to wind down, we must turn our attention to combating B.C.’s other public health emergency with the same sense of urgency,” Lapointe said. “We need to ensure that safe alternatives to toxic illicit drugs are available throughout the province and that we are taking meaningful steps to reduce stigma and offer substance users access to the supports they need and are seeking.”

Agencies, business sharing security in North Kamloops after pair of break-ins MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Security guards are keeping an eye on the Jamaican Kitchen restaurant following two break-ins in six weeks at the North Kamloops eatery. For the past month, Lapper Security has patrolled the ASK Wellness Society and ARPA Developments properties in the area of Tranquille Road, MacKenzie Avenue and Yew Street. After hearing of the recent vandalism and thefts from the restaurant at Tranquille and Yew, ASK Wellness executive director Bob Hughes offered to share the services with the restaurant’s owners. Jamaican Kitchen co-owner Denese Metsimela told KTW she accepted the offer, but remains steadfast in her belief that people who access services at nearby ASK Wellness and The Loop drop-in centre are to blame for the crimes. She said she came to that conclusion after spotting some of the restaurant’s stolen property at those locations. Asked if he felt his clientele are responsible, Hughes noted it’s not known who committed the June 25 burglary and, if he did, he would “drag them kicking and screaming to the police.” He said he visited the Jamaican Kitchen to make the offer, not because he feels his agency is responsible, but because he “felt terrible for them” as a neighbouring business. Hughes said ASK Wellness and ARPA Investments hired Lapper a month ago to patrol the back alleyway between their properties due to a noticed increase in “social disorder and crime.” ASK Wellness has an office at 433 Tranquille Rd. and clients in one of two apartment buildings ARPA erected behind

the block in Spirit Square, on the south side of that alleyway. The Loop, located on the same block as the apartments, is also offering its assistance to the North Kamloops restaurant. “This is absolutely terrible ... we will do our utmost to help secure some justice for this hard-working family and business,” Glenn Hilke, who manages the centre, posted on social media. Hike told KTW he inquired with the restaurant owners regarding any security footage they may have to try to identify whether the suspect(s) have frequented his drop-in centre. Denese told KTW the restaurant’s security system didn’t capture any images. “If it is somebody who uses The Loop, then that person isn’t going to be able to use The Loop any more — period. Unless some sort of restorative justice happens,” Hilke told KTW. He said The Loop wants to help out because the restaurant is a neighbouring business. Restaurant owners Denese and Kamau Metsimela arrived for work on the morning of June 25 to find one of their glass doors had been smashed open and an iPad and empty cash pan stolen. Between the damages and items stolen, the couple is out about $900. On May 10, they found another glass door broken open and cash, booze and other items stolen. Denese said they spotted one of the restaurant’s hanging plant baskets at The Loop and found people drinking their special order beer in the alley behind ASK Wellness following the first burglary, during which those items were taken. Hike said the hanging plant belonged to the chef at The Loop, noting the plants at The Loop and at the Jamaican Kitchen

were purchased at the same place. The group that was drinking the beer claimed to have bought it off another person and provided a description. Hike said The Loop won’t tolerate people using their facility if they are stealing, noting staff have daily conversations with visitors to ensure they follow the rules and keep belongings organized because the facility is in a “fragile position” after being labelled a nuisance property by the City of Kamloops. Hughes said he told the Metsimelas he has “no mercy” for property crime, noting ASK Wellness went through its own video surveillance footage in an attempt to find any relevant images for the RCMP to review. “We are as equally frustrated by the level of crime — stolen bicycles — and issues that are outside the cope of what we’re able to provide,” Hughes said. He said ASK Wellness tries to help in the event of criminal activity around its premises by co-operating with police and checking its security footage, but he added it is up to the courts to hold criminals responsible. “When people commit crimes, whether it’s a crime of opportunity or feeding an addiction, people need to be held accountable for breaking the law,” Hughes said. This second break-in at Jamaican Kitchen shows the need for the court system to take a greater interest when it comes to addressing people with drug addictions who are committing crimes with little consequences, Hughes said. A CITY COUNCILLOR’S VIEW The owners of Jamaican Kitchen said they felt let down over the issue of property crime, frustrated with a seeming lack of interest from city council and

Kamloops RCMP. Coun. Bill Sarai said he feels hurt the Metsimelas feel that way and believes city council is letting down business owners in Kamloops because elected officials don’t have a clear solution to property crime. “I don’t want to see this happen to anybody,” Sarai said. Sarai noted that each quarter, the RCMP gives council the same message — that the detachment is aware of property crime issues, but has hurdles when it comes to getting offenders prosecuted, detained and held to conditions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Asked what more council could be doing to address the issue, Sarai noted council already has security patrolling areas of the downtown and the North Shore until the community services department (the revamped bylaws services department) is fully staffed. But, he said, like an RCMP officer, security officers can’t be everywhere at once. “We can’t have a police officer at every corner. Our tax base just wont let us do that and I don’t think that will solve the problem,” Sarai said. He does, however, hope the Kamloops RCMP can redirect resources to find extra members to conduct foot patrols in areas such as Victoria Street, Tranquille Road, Valleyview and Columbia Street. “I think our business community really needs to see and feel that these individuals are not taking over the streets,” Sarai said. He noted council has reached out to relevant provincial ministries regarding property crime and the issues that lead to it, but aren’t getting results. Sarai said council needs to do more, but needs to know which door to knock on next.

“Together Again” Wynne and Walter Robinson

Timothy John Watson

Drawn from her devoted family home on the Birtle, Manitoba homestead, Wynne was enticed to the more than 47 years of romance with Walter and 75 years in Kamloops. With her chosen career in Nursing, Wynne ventured to Kamloops in 1945 to be with the sole, charming, man of her life as they married in 1946 at the Kamloops United Church.

February 16, 1961 - June 9, 2014

Cynthia Patricia Hutchison (sister)

July 31, 1958 - May 26, 2020

You never said I’m leaving You never said Goodbye. You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still. In my heart I hold a place That only you can ﬁll. It broke my heart to lose you But you didn’t go alone. A part of me went with you The day God took you home. “Dearest brother, you are sadly missed but will always be in my heart. I am comforted knowing that you and Cindy are together and that you two are not alone.”

Love always, from your sister Barb

In their years together they thrived through multiple family and friend relationships on River Street and in Prince Charles Park neighbourhoods. They each saw a few careers and many family and friend accomplishments. They thrived in their; loving relationships, music and the wonder of nature. Walter died March 8, 1993, with Wynne by his side. Wynne was predeceased by four siblings; Joe, Nel, George and Fred.

Jackie and Joe raised four children; Danny, Coleen, Joanne, and Karen and lived in various locations in BC including Oliver, Keremeos, and Duncan, before settling down in Kamloops in 1966.

She is survived by son Wayne and Lesley of Parksville and grandchildren Kendra of Vancouver and Kurtis of Kamloops.

After a 100 plus years of gracing our lives and making this world a better place, Mom has peacefully passed away on June 19, 2021, with family by her side.

As an active member and Fourth Degree Knight with the Knights of Columbus, Joe was always closely connected to his community, family, and faith. He also enjoyed fishing, gardening, and holiday road trips with all the family. After he retired, he and Jackie often travelled further abroad to Europe and the Mediterranean.

Thank you, Pinegrove staff and volunteers, for your care and comfort to Wynne, family and friends as they supported each other.

Andre Josef DeVuyst

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andre Josef DeVuyst on May 31, 2021 at Nanaimo hospital with his beloved niece Linda by his side. Andre was born the youngest of eleven children in Belgium on February 27, 1927. He is survived by seven children, twenty grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. At the young age of 18 Andre served in the Belgian Army. Andre and Adrienne were married and welcomed Jack, Rudy and Eddy. They immigrated to Canada in 1957 to join Andre’s brother Joe, Louise and family in Kamloops. There they added Kerry and Andy to the family. Andre briefly worked at a sawmill there until moving to the Peace River country in 1960 where he homesteaded and worked numerous jobs. Ann and Lynsey were added and completed the family. They had many happy times and hard times as homesteading is never easy. Andre and Adrienne parted ways in 1981. Andre moved to Dawson Creek and joined dancing and social clubs where he was known as quite a ladies’ man! He met Nettie Judge and they eventually moved back to Kamloops where they enjoyed mild winters, dance clubs, beautiful bountiful gardens, growing fruit trees of all kinds and entertaining visitors. In 2015 Nettie passed away and Andre moved to Vancouver Island where he continued growing his entire backyard and greenhouse into huge fruits and vegetables. Gardening was his passion, he enjoyed experimenting and harvesting his own seed from his garden to plant every spring. He was also very social and loved to always have something new happening like a renovation or moving to a new place so life didn’t get to boring no matter who had to be involved to get it done. He had a fast car and a fast scooter cause any less wouldn’t do! No matter what it was if you asked him “what kind do you want?” The answer was always “A big fast one!!” Andre lived large and had a strong, clear mind to his final moment.

We love and miss you Andre, Rest In Peace.

Joe will be missed by his wife Jackie of 66 years; children Dan, Coleen (Cliff Hawkins), Joanne (Aaron Simon) and Karen (Jake Devlin); grandchildren Maddison, Shea, Kristopher (Brittany), Heather (Jason), Nicole (Ben), Taylor (Marina), Zoe (Roman), David, Nathan (Amanda) and Bryce (Kailee); great-grandchildren Dawson, McKenna, Levi, Wilfred, Laughlin, and Elias; as well as numerous extended family members and friends. Joe was the youngest in his family and was the last surviving child of his parents Daniel Allan and Mary Catherine, and predeceased by his siblings; Florence, John/Jack, Catherine, Daniel, and Bernadette. The family is now all reunited again in heaven. A small private family Celebration of Joe’s Life will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at Schoening Funeral Home in Kamloops by Invitation Only.

Sharon Koop 1950 - 2021

- Her heart was so big we built an entire family in it It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our Mother, Nana, and best friend Sharon Koop on June 17, 2021. Remembering our mom, who asked for so little but gave so very much, are her daughters Katrina (Jim) Hobbs, and Heidi (Taylor) Bradley. Her three sweethearts (grandkids), Gavin, Kayden, and Chloe Hobbs, will forever hold her in their hearts. Known for her sparkling personality and kind heart, she had a way of making lifelong friends through different paths of her life. It was her genuine interest in others that quickly turned acquaintances into long standing family friends. Most of all, she was a woman so profoundly dedicated to her family, she lived entirely for them. Sharon was a beautiful soul who left a trail of beautiful memories for all that knew her. A special thank you to the Kamloops Hospice, Dr. Amanda Bosman, and Glover’s Pharmacy for going the extra mile. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to BC Cancer Foundation. Sharon’s Celebration of life will be held at St. Andrew’s on the Square on Monday, July 19, 2021 at 1:00 pm. Since the COVID restrictions are still in place, please RSVP by July 12th. to heidigallant@hotmail.com Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. Do I need an urn? A. Urns can be expensive. We give one away. Why? Because ashes come back from the crematorium in a cardboard box and I don’t think that’s how they should go home. Check our website or come by for a look at the urns we supply at no charge.

She was predeceased by her parents Richard James Richards and Ruby Jean Richards and her sister Janet Mary Richards. Sharon spent her life putting other peoples needs ahead of her own and started her 30-year nursing career in 1989 as an LPN. Most recently Sharon was working at Royal Inland Hospital on 5 North. Over the years she made many life-long friends through nursing. Upon getting diagnosed with Renal Failure Sharon had to stop nursing. Sharon had an uphill battle with her health from that point on and had to under go many surgeries. Sharon suffered 2 major strokes in 2018 which she made a great recovery from and managed to get back on the Kidney Donor list. Sharon passed away just 2 weeks before her scheduled kidney transplant. Sharon lived her life for her dogs who were her children. Over the years she had many different dogs Trampy, Rosco and Bo, and more recently Cosmo, Baby and Dash. Sharon has left a very large void in everyone’s life that has known her and will be greatly missed by all. A Celebration of Life will be held at Westsyde Centennial Park, 705 Franklin Road, Kamloops on Saturday, July 17, 2021 starting at 10:00 am. Please bring your own chair. COVID-19 restriction protocols will be in place. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the SPCA or Kidney Foundation in Sharon’s name. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Paul Liddy

October 13, 1970 - June 17, 2021 Paul Liddy, aged 50, died unexpectedly on June 17, 2021 at Royal Inland Hospital. He is survived by his siblings, Helen (Dave), Mike (Dawn), Jane (John), Patrick (Chelsea), Rachel (Brian), and Bridget (James). Paul held a special place in his heart for his sixteen nieces and nephews, with many claiming him as their favourite uncle. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins in Canada and England and his Godchildren who will all miss him. Paul is predeceased by his parents Andrew and Patricia, his brothers Andrew and Joseph, his sister-in-law Julie and niece Maia. Paul was born on October 13, 1970 in Wallasey, England. At the age of three, he immigrated to Canada with his family. Upon arriving in Kamloops, he quickly met some of his lifelong friends and Paul continued to make friends with many people throughout his life. Paul’s childhood and youth was spent in the streets, schools and parks of Kamloops’ West End, be it delivering newspapers, attending SWS, JP and KSS, working at Harris’ Supermarket, or playing in the numerous sporting events with his brothers, Ziebart cousins and the neighbourhood fraternity (formally known as the West End Sports League, of which Paul served proudly as President). Paul’s more serious sports life was boxing, a sport he loved as a fan and competitor. Paul had a long and celebrated amateur career of well over 50 bouts under the tutelage of Ken Mann. Next step was a few years of carefree travel. Paul enjoyed the typical European highlights, making his base in the land of his birth, where he spent more time reconnecting with long lost family and getting into more trouble with his brother Patrick. Where most travellers to Israel would spend a month or two working and living the Kibbutz life, as with most things Paul did this his own way. He spent over 18 months with his “farmer family”, to the point where he called himself their adopted son and their family would correspond with his “birth” family. Later, Paul had the opportunity to realize a dream and spent time in Ireland enjoying the culture that he felt a connection to. After his travels, in his late twenties, he returned to Kamloops where he focused on his writing, participated in poetry readings on a regular basis and self-published several poetry collections. At the age of twenty nine, Paul was diagnosed with brain cancer - in his own words “the hand of God touched me, and I fell over”. He faced the treatments with courage and tenacity with the support of many friends and family. The aftereffects of treatment caused significant medical conditions that further tested his resiliency and strength. Throughout all of this, Paul maintained his sense of humour and took every adversity thrown at him with his fighting spirit. Paul lived life on his terms and made meaningful connections with everyone in his life. During lockdown when visitations were restricted, Paul chose his niece, Ruby, as his essential visitor and she was honoured to fulfill this role. We all appreciate and thank Ruby for bringing laughter and comfort to Paul during the weekly visits. There were many health professionals who supported Paul over the years and we would like to especially acknowledge Dr. Collier. Despite the best efforts of the medical professionals on 6 South, Paul succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 7, 2021 @ 1:00 at the Plaza Hotel, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, memorial donation may be made to the Kamloops Brain Injury Association. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you ﬁnd comfort...

LeeAnne Eileen Dhaliwal January 1981 - June 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of LeeAnne Eileen Dhaliwal (née Garland) on the date of June 7, 2021. LeeAnne is survived by her husband Paul Dhaliwal and parents Glen and Theresa Garland. She is also survived by her sister and brother-inlaw Tracie and Aaron Amy, along with her niece and nephew Allison and Nathan Amy; her brother and sister-in-law John Garland and Jillian Procknow along with her nephew William Garland. Additionally, she is survived by her father and mother-in-law Tom and Gogi Dhaliwal; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Aj and Irene Dhaliwal, along with her three nieces Chloe, Emily and Paige Dhaliwal; and sister-in-law and brother-in-law Harjeet Dhaliwal and Michael Currie. LeeAnne will be missed greatly by her aunts and uncles, as well. LeeAnne was born in Smiths Falls, Ontario and moved to Kamloops in 1997. After completing her high school education at Brock Secondary School, she worked at A&W until she completed her Care Aid course at Thompson Rivers University. LeeAnne worked as a Care Aid for several years until health problems permitted otherwise. LeeAnne had one of the most kind, caring, and beautiful hearts of anyone we’ve ever known. She left an impression on every person that she was in contact with... simply because of her welcoming, genuine and loving nature. One thing we heard from many, which is true for us as well, is that we will never have anyone like LeeAnne in our lives again - she truly was one of a kind. This love that she had flowed through to everyone in her life. She always talked proudly of everyone in her life, including her nieces, nephews, parents, siblings, and in-laws. She was thoughtful and considerate and always made a point to make everyone feel special and cared for. She never forgot a birthday, special occasions, and especially never forgot holidays like Christmas. She was always prepared with cards and gifts in hand. LeeAnne especially took advantage of and cherished every single moment she could with her nieces and nephews, even on the days she wasn’t feeling well. That in itself showed how pure her heart and love was. LeeAnne’s absence is going to be felt deeply by everyone who touched her life. We will miss you LeeAnne and we will forever have so much love in our hearts for you. We hope that wherever you are, you are amongst our loved ones who are also in the afterlife.

We do, and will forever, love you so much! Heaven has received another Angel.

Vancouver | Tanya Goehring

BC’s big cities are known for their restaurants, shopping, and urban sights and attractions. But keep exploring and you’ll discover opportunities for forest bathing, kayaking, bicycling, and birding that will take you just outside the downtown core to replenish and reconnect in nature. Summer offers ample reasons to get out and try something new, and that’s easy to do in BC’s vibrant, outdoorsy cityscapes. And once you venture back downtown for a patio meal, hotel stay, or museum visit, local businesses have implemented safety measures designed to keep you well. Pedal, Walk, or Eat Your Way to a New Side of Vancouver With more than 450 km of bike lanes, plus multi-use pathways including the Arbutus Greenway and the Stanley Park Seawall, Vancouver is highly accessible on two wheels. Join Cycle City on a small-group tour led by a storyteller guide. Explore trails through Stanley Park, or pedal into the history of Chinatown, Gastown, and Granville Island. Victoria | Hubert Kang

Discover Victoria’s Wild Edges BC’s “Garden City” is known for manicured spots like the sprawling Butchart Gardens, but for something new and a little more uncultivated, seek out the city’s wild side. Head into the rainforest and walk among towering cedars, Sitka spruce, and arbutus trees with Elemental Magick Adventures, and be present in the moment, aware of the sights, sounds, and smells of the ancient surroundings. Called “forest bathing,” this practice

Locals may think they know everything about the city, but a walking tour with Forbidden Vancouver will prove otherwise. From the mobsters that ruled Gastown a century ago to the secrets buried in Stanley Park, Vancouver’s history may surprise you. Other tour options include the murals in Mt.

LOCAL NEWS

Expect a near-normal return to school in fall This pre-pandemic classroom scene at Beattie elementary is expected to return in September. KTW FILE PHOTO

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

When September arrives, there will be a near-normal return to school, according to the provincial government, with defined student cohorts no longer planned, an expected relaxation of restrictions on gatherings, extra-curricular activities and sports and full-time learning in classrooms. Online learning programs will remain available for students, as it is in any other school year. Education Minister Janet Whiteside said research has shown schools were not significant sources of COVID-19 transmission and, with high vaccination rates throughout B.C., such measures taken this past school year will no longer be necessary. The issue of wearing masks will be addressed later this summer based on advice and orders from the provincial health officer.

While masks may or may not be required when school resumes, students will continue to be required to complete daily health checks, stay home when feeling sick and practise hand hygiene. Public health teams and school health officers will continue to closely monitor cases of COVID-19 in schools and the community, and will continue to provide support and guidance as schools return in the

fall. “This was a very different school year for everyone and school communities have done an exemplary job adapting to the challenges we all faced,” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said. “Now, as we transition to a new phase and continue with immunizations throughout the province, students and educators can look forward to returning to a school environment

that will be much closer to what they are accustomed to.” The provincial government expects all eligible British Columbians will have been offered both vaccination doses by September, pending vaccine availability. More than 50 per cent of youth ages 12 to 17 years have received their first vaccine dose. Rapid response teams, which have been in place since February in each of the five health authority regions, will continue in the fall. The teams will focus on supporting recovery efforts in schools through a focus on academic, socio-emotional and mental health. Meanwhile, Whiteside said the government is providing $43.6 million to support ongoing health and safety measures,

First Nations and Métis students, mental-health services, rapid response teams and to address learning impacts to students. Whiteside noted B.C. was one of the few jurisdictions that kept schools open during the pandemic, citing the collective efforts of everyone in the education system. “We will continue to work with the experts in the provincial health office and our provincial K-12 education steering committee throughout the summer to finalize plans and guidelines to ensure students and staff are safe for the next school year,” she said. Of the $43.6 million being spent, $25.6 million is one-time, pandemic-specific funding to cover necessary cleaning and disinfecting, hand hygiene for students and staff, ventilation improvements and restocking of supplies of personal protection equipment.

How Do I Reduce My Estate Taxes? (Part two of two) Before COVID-19, we often held client appreciation events including educational seminars on specific financial planning topics. To date, our most attended session was estate planning and strategies to reduce taxes. We never thought talking about death and taxes could fill a room. Our previous article discussed potential tax implications when one passes, including income tax and probate fees. As promised, we are following up with strategies that can help reduce tax burdens: 1.

Have an up to date Will: First and foremost, please ensure you have a Will in place. Please review it every five years or after any major life event (marriage, divorce, birth of children, etc.). Appropriate use Joint Accounts: Placing assets/accounts in joint names with spouses or adult children can avoid probate, ease the transition and ensure no bills lapse. Some examples include bank accounts, investments, vehicles, safety deposit boxes and household bills. There are some instances in which joint ownership may NOT make sense. For example, adding your adult child to the title of your primary residence could jeopardizes the asset if s/he experiences a marital breakdown, business failure, or personal

lawsuit. Furthermore, adding one adult child joint, but not all of your children could cause misunderstanding and/or potential strife. In addition, adding someone to title on primary residence could result in losing some of the tax-free capital gain allowance.

Pre-Inheritance & Gifting: Since there are no taxes on gifts, consider gifting to loved ones as a pre-inheritance while you are alive, so you get to see them enjoy it. Please note, there are special consideration and attribution rules when gifting to minors.

Have named beneficiaries: Review your Retirement Saving Plans, Retirement Income Funds, Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA), insurance and pensions. Remember to also check work policies and investments if applicable. Spouses should be designated successor annuitant for TFSAs so they can retain the full tax-free status within their TFSA.

Charitable: There are significant tax-breaks for the philanthropic. This can include strategies such as naming a charity as beneficiary on your RSP or RIF to eliminate the tax burden, gifting securities with large capital gains to charities, or making direct bequests in your Will.

Insurance: Insurance can help replace income, pay taxes (including large capital gains on a recreational property or business) and can be particularly useful for blended or complex family situations. It typically is paid out quickly, tax-free and kept private as flows outside the Will. There are additional opportunities for incorporated businesses.

Consider Trusts: Those with substantial assets can explore Trusts to help minimize tax, avoid probate, ensure proper distribution of assets, provide income and retain privacy.

Sometimes it is wise to name your Estate as beneficiary on your RSP or RIF so the executor can facilitate distribution and pay taxes. This typically makes sense if single, divorced or widowed. 4.

Take more income now: One of the consequences of losing a spouse is losing the ability to income split which can result in a higher tax bracket and loss of Old Age Security (OAS). Three common areas to review are: i. ii. iii.

Draw RSP or RIFs down faster and/or earlier than age 71 - especially if you have larger balances. Harvest capital gains each year from your non-registered investment. Drawing additional wages or dividends from your company.

Pro tip: if you have a large amount of credits or deductions in any year (business or investment loss, charitable donation, medical expenses, etc.) be sure to review merits of taking extra income to offset.

Chimera Theatre welcomes new artistic director SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Chimera Theatre has a new artistic director — Jessica Buchanan — an actor and comedian who has brought big city experience back to Kamloops, with plans to stage sketch and improv comedy performances. The theatre company was started in 2014 by Andrew G. Cooper, along with Brittany McCarthy and Brooke Ballam. Since then, it has presented dozens of variety performances, including original stage plays. Variety will continue to be the company’s mainstay, but under Buchanan’s tenure, the theatre might head more firmly in the direction of improv and sketch comedy. Prior to her return to her hometown of Kamloops — where she graduated from TRU’s Actor’s Workshop Theatre program — Buchanan spent about two-anda-half years in Toronto, where she

JESSICA BUCHANAN attended the Second City Toronto training centre. The Second City is a renowned improv comedy institution that began in Chicago and has since been established in Toronto and Los Angeles. Some of the biggest names in comedy have had their start with the some iteration of the troupe, including Tina Fey, Gilda Radner, Steve Carell, John Belushi, Chris Farley and Mike Myers. Buchanan’s time under the conservatory program allowed her to study advanced writing and improv. She also had a chance to

work at the theatre. “But then, of course, COVID happened, and that put an end to that,” she said. Buchanan said as a result of the pandemic, she’s seen a number of people leave the arts in favour of other career paths. “If I may be so bold as to speak for every live theatre performer in the world, it’s been pretty alarming to see your industry completely shut down,” she said. And with her return, there are still no live audience performances in Kamloops. But Buchanan is hoping that will change, and even if it happens soon, she’ll be ready. In the interim, Buchanan is effectively planning three seasons, one for each level of whatever return to normalcy we’re about to endure as COVID-19 case counts ease, vaccines take hold and the province looks towards reopening more of the economy. Among her plans are improv shows, dinner theatre, a series of one-act plays, an original production written by TRU professor,

author and playwright George M. Johnson and a new sketch comedy group featuring herself, Andrew Robertson and Dan Ondang, who are familiar faces at Chimera and its improv group The Freudian Slips. “We’re writing and rehearsing soon, but it will happen later, once restrictions are loosened up a bit,” she said. While it is yet to be seen how her experiences in Toronto will shape her career to come, Buchanan’s efforts will continue to have an impact on entertainment in Kamloops. She recalled starting an evening in bustling Toronto by performing in an improv show, catching a train and doing it all over again an hour later, emphasizing the availability of venues for comedy and other acts to take place. “Being in Toronto was a really interesting experience,” she said. “There was constantly something to do and I think that’s something that can happen here.” That’s a vision Buchanan has

already had for Kamloops — and one that seems within reach, given how well-established arts groups like the Kamloops Symphony and Western Canada Theatre are trying to further their presence in the city by supporting projects like the proposed performing-arts centre. And that’s not to mention a host of other artists — many of whom Chimera Theatre and other institutions have supported — that regularly perform in the city. “You could have a night where you catch a film at the Paramount, then walk across the street and Jeremy Kneeshaw is playing, and then at the Pavilion, Cvetozar from the symphony is playing, and at the Blue Grotto, there are burlesque dancers,” she told KTW. But for the more immediate future, Buchanan’s energy will be focused on putting forward an entertaining season for Chimera — and it’s clear she has a lot to give. “I have an uncomfortable amount of energy, so I hope that rubs off on Chimera,” she said, laughing.

The Keep Kamloops campaign aims to provide a boost to culture, recreation and heritage organizations by publicizing their importance and by encouraging people to donate and participate.

Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association

#keepkamloopsactive

PERSONAL GROWTH, HEALING, & CONNECTION

or over 30 years, the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association has been delivering programs to children, youth and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. The KTRA also offers therapeutic groundwork with horses for youth at risk.

Through lessons, clients form bonds with horses that help them to process feelings, gain skills and ease fears. Horses have a unique way of connecting with people and are extremely sensitive to emotions and body language, which make them the perfect teacher for any individual.

Therapeutic riding helps participants improve their flexibility, balance, and muscle strength. They learn equestrian skills as well as how to interact effectively with instructors, volunteers, other riders, and horses, gaining a sense of freedom and mastery. Therapeutic riding offers participants the ability to increase capacity of socialization, enhance sensory processing ability and in some cases, an overall decrease in symptom severity. A therapy horse is the most important asset to any Therapeutic Riding program. Not just any horse can be a therapy horse; a therapy horse must be safe, sound, patient and willing. Therapy horses bear more than

just the weight of the rider on their back; they also carry the struggles, the joy, the fear, and the triumph of their riders as they overcome hurdles in the arena and in their everyday life. The KTRA offers therapeutic riding and groundwork to approximately 160 children, youth and adults each year. KTRA has a new program horse named Nala -- the first horse they’ve ever purchased! Nala is a three-yearold registered Haflinger mare. KTRA is often offered older/retired horses for its Therapeutic Riding Program, but has found that they have a higher burnout and turnover rate because they’ve already spent most of their lives working hard in another career

Follow #nalasjourney on Instagram and Facebook, or on the blog at the KTRA website. The KTRA is currently raising funds to purchase an Equine Solarium, a form of infrared therapy that keeps horses healthy and prevents injury. KTRA relies on rider fees, donations, grants and fundraising to fund its operations. Over the past few years some “for profit” activities including summer camps, horse boarding, tack sales, spring break

camps, clinics and riding lessons for the public have been implemented to help fund operations, and without these activities, the KTRA could not continue to operate. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in cancellations of most programs and a significant loss of funding, but the KTRA is now able to offer programs safely again. Let’s Keep Kamloops Active.

Vintage flatbed truck finds new floral life DAVE EAGLES

STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

The next time you head to the Bunker Road recycling depot and yard waste site in the McGill industrial area, keep your eyes peeled for an interesting new landmark. The corner of Bunker Road and McGill Road is now home to a colourful

floral display anchored in a unique-looking vintage truck. The 1947 GMC one-ton truck harks back to the early days of the City of Kamloops’ public works fleet that worked the streets of a growing city. Its simple, greencoloured paint is a stark contrast to the modernday mindset of the city’s corporate branding, which

is seen in the public works vehicle fleet of today — emblazoned with branding logos using hues of orange, yellow, green and blue. The flatbed’s display will continue throughout the year with the change of seasons as city gardeners will amend its look. It’s an idea deserving of two thumbs up — green thumbs.

Connecting to Edmonton WestJet Airline’s new route between Kamloops and Edmonton is set to begin on July 5 and end on Aug. 4, after which its future will be evaluated. The twice-weekly flights (from Kamloops to Edmonton on Mondays and Fridays and from Edmonton to Kamloops

‘(Un)wanted’ cat campaign has begun in Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The BC SPCA is launching an interactive awareness campaign called (Un)wanted. It was created for Kamloops residents to learn about the cat overpopulation in their community. As part of the initiative, “(Un) wanted” posters will be placed in the Brocklehurst, North Shore and downtown neighbourhoods for the next three weeks. This new campaign is part of a larger project that aims to create awareness of the cat overpopulation problem in Kamloops, which has been experiencing the highest intake of cats and kittens amongst all BC SPCA locations for the past several years. Developed as an interactive outdoor activity for all age groups,

posters will be on display in various shop windows and other community spaces, highlighting stories of some of the unwanted cats in neighbourhoods “Our hope is to encourage members of the community to investigate preconceived notions of what are sometimes considered unwanted cats,” said Ashley Fontaine, the BC SPCA’s community engagement manager. “It’s a good opportunity for them to learn how the cats ended up in these situations and, hopefully, inspire individuals and the community at large to think about what they can do to help reduce the number of unwanted cats in Kamloops.” The posters featured are a spin on “Wanted” posters and feature nine different local cats with a QR code that will link to the feline’s story. Participants have the option

to enter into a draw to win a prize. Three sets of gift certificates valued at up to $200 from local businesses will be awarded through a draw from the entries. Each of the nine cats can be used as an entry, so if one spots all nine felines, it will help to increase the odds of winning. The current campaign is the latest initiative in a multi-faceted approach that has been developed to address the cat overpopulation in Kamloops, including education, community engagement and increased spaying and neutering for both owned and unowned cats. In May, the BC SPCA Community Animal Centre and Spay/Neuter Clinic in Kamloops launched a low-income spay/neuter pilot-program. Call 1-855-622-7722, option 6, for more information.

TIM EGGERS

ROKO HUSER

Golden performances KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Two Thompson Rivers University students have been recognized for their carpentry skills. Tim Eggers and Roko Huser have won gold in the Skills Canada national competition. The two were facing other carpentry students from across Canada. Eggers, a third-year apprentice, won gold in the post-secondary car-

pentry category. Huser, meanwhile, still attends South Kamloops secondary, but attended the foundation program through the Youth in Trades program. “Typically, we have students compete in automotive service, carpentry, heavy mechanical, electrical, millwright, plumbing/ piping, refrigeration and welding,” TRU construction trades chair Thomas

Haag said. This year, due to the pandemic, the event was held virtually. “The competition was really fun and I had an awesome experience. It’s crazy how much effort and time goes into putting something like this on,” Huser said. Haag also acknowledged the students’ instructors, Tim Kasten and Bryce Coombs.

Connecting community at the Concession at Riverside KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Concession at Riverside is now open. The Concession is a summer pilot project from Tourism Kamloops that includes watersports and beach/park games rentals and food trucks added to Riverside Park to serve residents. The Concession at Riverside is scheduled to operate daily from noon to 8 p.m. through Sept. 7 from the former food concession building, which is scheduled to be demolished in the fall. Those accessing rentals can use kayaks, canoes and waterbikes on the South Thompson River and bocce, croquet, yard

dice, roll out mats for checkers or chess and more in the park. Rentals are from Kamloops Water Sports and Sea Legs. Equipment rentals can be pre-booked online for pickup at the Concession, while rentals for walk-ups is on a first-come, firstserved basis. The Concession at Riverside also features food trucks, with Gyldi’s Pizza and Eats Amore the first to join the venture. Other food truck operators wishing to get involved can send an email to curt@tourismkamloops. com. “In our view, and parks and recreation’s view, it’s a great way for Kamloops to

enjoy the park in a more elevated way,” Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis said when introducing the venture in the spring. “It’s a great way to get people out and active, coming out of COVID and, when visitors come, they can enjoy our parks and rivers and maybe try kayaking for the first time or paddle boarding or something like that with a very low risk, low impact. “This is just a way to try it with an existing building, slated for demolition, and see how it goes.” For more information, including rates and reservations of equipment, go online to tourismkamloops.com.

WHAT IS ROTARY?

Made up of over 34,000 Rotary clubs around the world, Rotary International forms a global network of business, professional, and community leaders who volunteer their time and talents to serve communities locally and around the world – and form strong, lasting friendships in the process.

IN KAMLOOPS

From Clearwater to Austria Youth Exchange and Global Grants power local student to international medical career

otary’s Youth Exchange Program has taken hundreds of local high school students around the world over the past 50 years. Now Rotary Clubs in Kamloops, Clearwater, Salmon Arm and Kelowna have joined together to help one of those students make an even bigger difference around the world, turning a few thousand Canadian dollars into more than $30,000 USD through the power of a Rotary Global Grant. Emma Persad from Clearwater went to France as part of Rotary Youth Exchange in 2011-12 before coming back to TRU, where she earned an honours degree in molecular biology in 2016. While at TRU, she became involved in the Study Abroad program, spending her third year in Switzerland. Both exchange programs opened up the opportunity for more international work after graduating, first with refugee integration at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis and then an internship with the United Nations before starting medical school in Austria. “It was always my idea to stay in Europe and do my medical school abroad,” says Persad. While she had long planned for a career in medicine, her international experience changed her ambitions, pushing her towards a position at the World Health Organization in 2019 and plans to eventually work for Médecins Sans Frontières. “Rotary gave me a broader outlook of how the world could be,” said Persad. But first, Emma needed help to finish medical school, and Rotary was there to provide it with the Global Grant Program. The program allows funds raised by local clubs and districts to be matched by Rotary International for use towards

a project or graduate studies abroad. The project or studies need to fit into one of Rotary International’s six pillars – in this case, maternal and child health. Persad’s application was the first Global Grant Scholarship (GGS) application ever made by the Rotary Clubs of Kamloops. “It was a challenge,” says Dr. Stephen Karpuk, president of the Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial, who spearheaded the application. “A GGS is not a common thing. Sometimes it takes a special person,” said Karpuk. “And a good support system,” added Persad. In total, seven different Rotary clubs across the Interior of B.C., including four Kamloops clubs, raised a total equivalent to $7,700 USD. That was matched 150 per cent by Rotary District 5060, which represents clubs in the BC Interior and eastern Washington State, with Rotary International matching the district contribution to raise a total of more than $30,000 USD – more than $40,000 CDN – to allow Persad to complete her studies. The Rotary Club of Vienna International agreeing to host Emma was vital to the success of the GGS. Persad plans to use her skills and experience to improve maternal and neonatal health worldwide. After graduating medical school in Austria next year, she is looking to do a PhD in perinatal and pediatric epidemiology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, a world-renowned institution for medical research, before specializing in pediatrics. Her future work could include fieldbased projects in Africa and research using population registers, particularly pertaining to the effects of COVID-19 infection

Our motto, Service Above Self, exemplifies the humanitarian spirit of the 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide.

ROTARY CLUB OF KAMLOOPS AURORA CENTENNIAL

Rotary Youth Exchange Student Emma Persad, pictured here at the United Nations, is finishing medical school in Austria thanks to a Rotary Global Grant funded in part by the Rotary Clubs of Kamloops. and vaccination on pregnant women and babies. “In Rotary we’re really good at building schools and health care facilities. We supply books and equipment in places that need them. But this cannot work without the skilled educator or health care practitioner. Emma will be both,” Karpuk said. Persad’s work will still have benefits here at home. She is leading a Cochrane review on limiting health care worker exposure to COVID-19 in a partnership with WorkSafeBC – a timely project given the risk of transmission in hospitals. She also plans to conduct epidemiological research in Canada, as her future research group collaborates with UBC. She will also head to Rwanda in August and September to help with maternal and neonatal care. “Cobbling together enthusiasm and money was the reason this GGS was able to help Emma in her journey,” said Karpuk. “That’s the power of Rotary.”

THE AWARD-WINNING PROJECT RETURNS!

Last year, Kamloops showed just what a kind community it was in Kindloops - a special project produced by Kamloops This Week and presented by Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union. We asked for your submissions of random acts of kindness, published them weekly This project was recognized as the winner of the Ma Murray Community Service Award by the BC and Yukon Community NewsMedia Association earlier this month. That’s a testament to our community as a whole pulling together to help each other through the most challenging time of our generation. While we are beginning to emerge from the global crisis caused by COVID-19, we continue to suffer the effects that prolonged isolation from others, economic uncertainty and fear bring. We need to keep being reminded what a kind place we can be - and need to be.

So we’re bringing it back. All you have to do to participate is give the name of a local individual who’s done something kind for someone else in Kamloops. We’re going to publish those submissions in Kamloops This Week every week for the next 5 weeks, and pick one random submission each week. The person who performed that act of kindness and the person who nominated them will each get a $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant. On July 28, we’re going to put all the entries together into a special commemorative edition, celebrating all the acts of kindness that have been nominated, and pick one random entry. The person who performed that act and the person who nominated them will each win a prize of $500 worth of gift certificates to local restaurants!

Celebrate kindness with us in Kamloops with Kindloops.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Go to www.kindloops.com OR Enter via social media - put your nomination in Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and just tag Kamloops This Week (@kamthisweek) and include the hashtag #kindloops in your post

Your Kindloops stories:

LORI SEELEY: Hi there, I have an office downtown where I come into contact with a wide variety of Kamloops citizens. Most are aware of Ben, and I do wish I knew his last name. Ben is a young man who people might easily overlook or misunderstand. He possibly has some limitations that prevent him from participating in the labour force in a traditional way. Ben cleans the downtown streets meticulously every day. He is not paid, he does accept tips. He is diligent and I’ve seen him working morning to night on some days. While he might not be a typical candidate for a kindness honour because he is not connected with the usual volunteer and community agencies, I think he has created a benefit to our community that exceeds what Kamloops can provide through usual paid or contracted means. I believe he would be well deserving of an honour for his contributions to our community.

Brought to you by:

HELENA PAIVINEN: Being kind does not always appear in exactly the same way. Sometimes it can be as subtle as a light touch, barely imperceptible except to the person in need. In other instances it is loud and quite brash, like a drive through birthday parade during COVID -19. Or maybe it’s about consistency......like Steve Wade showing up, on a daily basis to give us a laugh on the Caremongering Kamloops page on Facebook. You make me smile. To some, your daily posting of humour may not qualify as being kind but to me they scream up one hell of a storm! Every day you take a moment to reflect upon how to make a stranger’s life better. You take a minute each day to post something fun. To me, that is kindness in it’s fuzziest warmth form......making someone smile, giving them a laugh, a chuckle or two. It is a priceless as love. It lightens up what can sometimes seem like a seemingly endless loop of nothing but heavy, grey and depressing, continuous groundhog dog days.

The wildlife playgrounds of Miami, Florida JANE CASSIE

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

t’s just before midnight on South Beach and the energized pulse along Ocean Drive is starting to palpitate. This artery that bisects Miami’s famed art deco district is the happening place to be, especially after the sun goes and the neon glows. We meld with the masses that flock to the gridlocked thoroughfare, where our adrenaline soars with the ongoing Latin beat. Enticing aromas waft from bustling sidewalk cafes, offering us anything from Cuban cuisine to Floribbean fare. Backed by confetti-coloured treasures and fronting the palmstudded beach, this setting is a feast for our senses. Although we love having this taste of urban wildlife at our fingertips, by staying at the South Beach Hotel a few blocks away, we can easily escape the inevitable crowds. The 1939 art deco treasure, designed by renowned architect, Henry Hohauser, has been renovated with a Latin feel. Its sleek lines and contemporary interiors pay homage to the era while pampering perks provide us with modern day pleasantries. During our stay in Miami, our travels also take us to Biscayne National Park, where we discover an entire flip side to the meaning of “wild” life.

BRENT CASSIE PHOTOS LEFT: The nightlife scene along the South Beach Ocean Drive is full of energy and light just before midnight, as the streets fill with sounds and smells that are truly Miami. RIGHT: Finding more colourful creatures under water is also a must-do stop on a visit to the southern state.

The vast emerald Atlantic shimmers before us and while our vessel plies effortlessly through the water, I remain riveted to its bow rail. From the ringside seat, I look forward to a different taste of entertainment. It’s not the same kind of parade we experienced on Ocean Drive, but one that’s performed daily and naturally, thanks to the gifts from Mother Nature. “The park is over 30,000 hectares in size,” our tour guide explains, “and 95 per cent of it is underwater.” The remaining five per cent, we discover, is made up of the 44 keys that span 18 nautical

miles. We troll past a number of the evergreen mounds, shrouded in a maze of mangroves and tropical hardwood hammocks. Rich with nourishment, these islets are a haven for waterfowl and sea life. Long-beaked pelicans, delicate white ibis, doublebreasted cormorants, blue herons and snowy egrets are just a few feathered friends we see. This glass bottom boat tour also provides us with a taste of the park’s underwater world without getting our feet wet and, while hovering over the surface, we can see the swaying sea grass that shimmers at the base of this

tropical lagoon. The explosive growth of algae and plankton are gastronomic delights for sponges and sea urchins, as well as starfish and spiny lobster, and it is a popular spot for the gentle blubbery manatees. Weighing up to 13,000 kilograms, these beloved Floridian natives look more like whiskered whimsical sea cows. Because of their slow-poke maneuverability, we are careful while making our way to the outer reefs. When the wave action co-operates, there is a fanfare of productivity framed in the window of our hull, including porous sponges, ancient

shipwrecks and dazzling coral gardens. For those who like to take a dip, the snorkeling and diving promises an up-close and personal encounter with these iridescent inhabitants. “There are around 250 different fish species, as well as a number of types of coral,” our guide reveals. Elkhorn, staghorn and brain coral are most common and parrotfish, tigerfish, angelfish, blue tang, porkfish and trunkfish are just a few that bejewel the reefs. Although incidences are rare, there are others that pose a threat to humans. Portuguese man-of-war with its long tentacles, the razor-tooth barracuda and the infamous bull shark are predators that underwater visitors shy away from. Although there has always been the risk of hurricanes and tropical storms, the keys have hosted a cross section of travelers over the years — from pirates to presidents. Embraced in beauty and boasting so many natural wonders, it’s easy to understand why. As we skim back over the bay, we reflect on its tranquility and splendour. The remote setting is polar opposite to South Beach’s racy allure, yet both in their own right are wonderful “wild” life playgrounds of Miami.

FAITH

Baptizing the Empire PART 4 OF A 10-PART SERIES, PUBLISHED MONTHLY, EXPLAINING THE ORTHODOX RELIGION

ate in the third century, the Romans divided their immense and unwieldy empire into two portions, the West and the East, each with its own emperor. A period of political instability and civil war followed soon afterwards, from which the Emperor Constantine emerged triumphant, the sole emperor of both sides of the empire. According to history, Constantine ascribed his victory to the intervention of the Most High God of the Christians, whom he said had appeared to him in a dream before a crucial battle against his rival Maxentius, and exhorted him to inscribe the Greek letters Chi and Rho (the first two letters of the word “Christ”) on his soldiers’ shields. Following his victory, Constantine issued the famous Edict of Milan, which forbade the persecution of Christians and restored their confiscated properties and rights. Constantine himself confessed Christianity and the age of Christian legitimacy began. For some, this is the period in which, despite Jesus’ promise that “the gates of hell” would not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18), the Church “went to hell in a hand basket.” Infected with paganism, legalism and ritualism, the Church “died” for more than 1,200 years, until the Reformers resurrected it in the 16th century. The reality is a little more complicated. Certainly, the Church faced challenges as a result of its “coming of age.” With the known world at its feet and unprecedented freedom and power at its disposal, more than one Christian fell prey to worldly corruption. However, Eastern Orthodox Christians also see this period as a time when the Church faced, for the first time, a new opportunity to fulfill the Lord’s command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy

V. Rev. Richard René is the priestin-charge of St. Nicholas Orthodox Mission (orthodoxkamloops.ca), an English-language Eastern Orthodox Church for the Kamloops community.

Spirit…” (Matt 28:19). Confronted with the baptism of the Roman world, the Church adopted an approach that might be called cultural baptism. In this view, evangelism meant simply reinterpreting the surrounding culture so as to proclaim the Gospel message. If the pagan image of the shepherd carrying a lamb on his shoulders was a Roman pagan symbol of the ideal pastoral life, why could it not also depict Christ the Good Shepherd of his people? If the Emperor could be depicted ruling over the world, why could Christians not portray Christ in imperial garb, as the one to whom belongs all authority in heaven or on Earth? The Christian adoption of these and other aspects of pagan Rome was not merely a syncretism — the adoption of pagan beliefs alongside their own — but an immense baptism in which art, music, architecture, philosophy and all aspects of society were yoked into proclaiming the Advent of Christ. The theological reasoning was simple — just as Christ had taken on and transfigured fallen human life with the life of God, so, too, could Christians transform human culture with the life of the Holy Spirit. Human life should be rejected as utterly depraved, but rather as something to be healed and filled with the power of God. As St. John of Damascus would say more than 400 years

later: “Do not despise matter, for it is not despicable. God has made nothing that is despicable.” In the history of the Orthodox Church, many examples can be found of evangelism through cultural baptism. Most relevant for us is the approach taken by Russian Orthodox missionaries to North America in the 18th century. Monks and priests came to local First Nations and, rather than rejecting their native spirituality out of hand as demonic or sinful, they sought to establish parallels between native religion and Christian teachings. The goal was to translate the uniquely Christian message into a language of native spirituality. At the same time, they translated Christian texts into native languages, even going so far as creating the first written alphabets for the Aleut and Tlingit peoples for that purpose. Contrast this with the missionaries who started the residential schools in 19th century Canada, with their horrific ongoing legacy of cultural genocide, and we can begin to see the present relevance of Church’s history following Constantine’s conversion. More than anything, this great Christian “coming of age” reminds us that the Christian mandate is not about demonizing others, whomever they may be. Rather, it is about seeing and celebrating the good in other cultures and naming the ultimate source of their goodness in the love of Jesus Christ. Next time: the rise of monasticism and a return to first principles.

FUN BY THE NUMBERS

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

TURNER

have lived in Kamloops for 27 years and I plan to make this city our retirement home. With years of direct sales experience I know how to market properties to achieve the most effective results. I have earned several top RE/MAX sales awards and was honored by our Kamloops Real Estate Association with the Realtor of the Year award. On a personal note, I enjoy travel, gardening and making stained-glass windows which I donate to raise money for charities. I also make a contribution from every sale to help the BC Children’s Hospital.

My daughter, Kristy Janota and Adam Popien are members of my team and we would love to hear from you, to help make your buying or selling experience a pleasant one.
