TELL YOUR STORY

FIRESMART YOUR PROPERTY

Early this year, the City and BC Transit put a call out looking for Kamloops residents to share their positive transit stories of how transit has changed their lives. The stories we received were uplifting and heartfelt, and we want to thank everyone for sharing their stories.

Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) and the City are encouraging homeowners to take steps to become FireSmart as BC is faced with unprecedented fire conditions. FireSmart actions can reduce the fire risk within your neighbourhood.

It is clear from the submissions that public transit provides so much more than just transportation— it enriches lives, offers equal access to employment and recreation, and helps create opportunities for residents to maintain or increase their overall quality of life, all while working towards reducing traffic congestion and lowering our community’s carbon footprint. Two of these stories have been developed into videos. Visit Kamloops.ca/TellYourStory to hear how transit has changed the lives of two Kamloops residents and read other submissions from the community. Have a story to share? We’d still love to hear from you. For details, visit: Kamloops.ca/TellYourStory

FireSmart identifies activities in four zones around the home to reduce wildfire risk. The first and most important zone of FireSmart protection involves the area within 1.5 metres of the home and attached structures, including fences. This is the space that KFR and the City hope residents will focus on initially to make the City safer this summer. These activities include: • removing anything flammable within 1.5 metres of the house and attached structures • cleaning roofs • adding spark arrestors on chimneys • removing debris from gutters • screening off gaps under decks • removing any combustibles stored under decks KFR and the City want to help homeowners FireSmart their properties by offering free FireSmart assessments. Homeowners can call 250-828-3461 to book a free assessment. To learn more, visit: Kamloops.ca/FireSmart

HEAT PUMP GROUP PURCHASE REBATE The Heat Pump Group Purchase Rebate (GPR) is an incentive offered through CleanBC that rewards groups of homeowners that are working together to reduce household greenhouse gas emissions by switching from an oil or natural gas heating system to an air source heat pump. The larger a group becomes, the larger the rebate. The group rebate ranges from $200 per home for a group of 2 homes up to a maximum of $500 for a group of 20 to 30 homes. The group rebate is in addition to the up to $3,000 available from CleanBC and the $5,000 available from the federal Greener Homes Program. To learn more about the GPR Program and to get the City’s GPR code, visit: Kamloops.ca/RenovateSmart

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

WHERE THERE’S A WILLIS, THERE’S A WAY

Murray Willis of Clearview Glass helped douse a grass fire earlier this month. To read more about Willis’ efforts against further fires this season, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and search for his name. The dry weather has led to a call for watering reductions by the province, and the number of evacuees in the area has prompted the opening of a resiliency centre on the North Shore.

Area fires continue to burn, some more controlled KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The province remains under a state of emergency as wildfires continue to burn, despite more stable weather in the past week. Since April, more than 425,000 hectares of the province has burned, as a result of 1,230 wildfires. Of those fires, 253 remain active. According to BC Wildfire Service director of fire centre operations Rob Schweitzer, the 10-year average by this time of year is 642 fires with 105,000 hectares burned. “So, obviously we’re significantly ahead of the 10-year average,” he said on Tuesday. While some fires continue to burn near Kamloops, others have been tamed by the

BC Wildfire Service and other personnel, leading to relaxed evacuation orders and alerts for some. On Tuesday afternoon, the Sparks Lake wildfire, which started approximately 15 kilometres north of Kamloops Lake, measured more than 58,000 hectares in size. Recent activity on that fire is mostly on the north and eastern flanks of the blaze. Crews are currently conducting mop-up operations in the Deadman Valley, and are working on containing the blaze north of Sabiston Lake. Evacuation orders surround that fire, affecting hundreds of properties. Areas north are also under alert. The White Rock Lake wildfire, meanwhile, has pushed

east to the south of Westwold. The BC Wildfire Service said that with hot and dry conditions, the fire will continue to grow. Fire engines are patrolling the area in order to protect property. Air tankers, which have been difficult to use in the area due to wind, smoke and terrain, may be used to drop retardant when possible. Resources on the fire include six helicopters, 139 firefighters, 35 pieces of heavy equipment and structural protection equipment and specialists. Evacuation orders for the south side of Westwold and areas further south remain in place, while orders extend as far north as the Duck Range

area north of Monte Lake. On Tuesday, evacuation alerts were issued for areas to the north and west of the fire, including parts of Monte Creek and the edge of Barnhartvale. West of Kamloops near Savona, the Tremont Creek wildfire has been burning along its southern and western flanks. Tremont Creek stands at 12,000 hectares in size, and resources are also being shared with the Sparks Lake wildfire, just to the north. Two other area fires have quieted down in recent days, allowing for evacuation orders and alerts to be rescinded, including the Embleton Mountain wildfire and the Durand Lake wildfire, which is now considered under control.

Conservatives to pick local candidate soon as election speculation looms CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to soon ask Governor General Mary Simon to dissolve Parliament, a move that would trigger an election. Trudeau's Liberals formed a minority government following the October 2019 election. The federal Conservatives will select a local election candidate in early August as party members in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo will cast their votes between Aug. 3 and Aug, 5. Four people are vying to succeed Cathy McLeod as Conservative candidate as the four-term MP has decided to not seek re-election. In the running are Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis, Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo, Tobiano founder Mike Grenier and Barriere Mayor Ward Stamer. The NPD has acclaimed Bill Sundhu as its candidate, while Corally Delwo won the nomi-

nation for the People's Party of Canada. Yet to choose a candidate or announce a nomination date are the Greens, Liberals and nascent Maverick Party. Clayton Whitman, chief executive officer for the Greens in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo, said the local riding association is in the early stages of the process, with prospective candidates invited to identify themselves. He said the federal party will vet all applications and send an approved list of candidates to the local riding association. Whitman said there has been a couple of people who have expressed an interest in seeking the nomination, noting they must first be vetted and approved by the federal party. "And there is a process to speed up the nomination timelines if an election is called," Whitman said. "But we want to take our time to get a few nominees and have a selection of candidates for the members to choose amongst." As for the turmoil that has

"We're essentially members like other members," Whitman said. "Our focus and our mission is to develop the party here in Kamloops. While it's difficult or challeng-

...about adding a child as a joint owner of your assets Joint ownership is traditionally used between spouses for family property (e.g. a home or bank account), but placing assets into joint names between a parent and adult child is an increasingly common method of “do it yourself” estate planning. While this method can have some advantages, there are pitfalls you should be aware of: 1.

Loss of control – by putting your child on title, you give your child veto power over how to deal with the asset.

Exposure to child’s creditors – if your child runs up debts, creditors could look to your property to pay those debts.

Tax consequences – your child may become liable to pay tax on investment income in a joint account, or you could be considered to have gifted ½ of your asset, triggering tax for you or potentially increasing the tax payable by your child after you pass away.

Lack of benefit – if you have other assets not held jointly, your estate may still have to pay probate fees on assets that are jointly head, so you have taken risk for no benefit.

Disputes after death – if there are multiple children, joint ownership with one child is ripe for divisive family disputes, years of acrimony, and wasted dollars on litigation.

If you are considering using joint ownership as a form of estate planning – and even if you have already done so – our team can help you to avoid issues and reduce risk.

In times of extreme heat, it’s hard for salmon

s climate change makes extreme heat waves more likely into the future, we need to accelerate work to support climate adaptation for critical species whose habitats are dramatically impacted by these shifting weather patterns. With the recent heat dome that gripped the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada, we’ve experienced first-hand the recordbreaking temperatures that threaten our ecosystems. We’re not the only ones who need shade when temperatures soar. In times of extreme heat like this, it’s hard for fish. Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing Pacific salmon — a keystone species in B.C. With higher temperatures, Pacific salmon habitat, notably the rivers and streams that flow throughout B.C., are warming and flow patterns are changing. Excessively low flows during drought months leave salmon stranded and exposed to predators. Warming temperatures can change rainfall and snowmelt patterns, meaning more flooding and high dangerous waters that can be impassable for salmon. In early July, areas of B.C. were already reporting drought levels not typically seen until late July. In the Interior — where some of our most at-risk salmon stocks spawn and spend the first fragile year of life — we’ve had one of the driest, warmest Junes on record. Wildfires are burning and low water levels can be anticipated. These environmental conditions are very bad for salmon. Water temperature is a key predictor of survivability for fish and this is particularly true for salmon. Science shows that waterways can heat up rapidly when temperatures soar and flows become low. When it’s hot, fish, like us, burn more energy and it’s harder for them to survive. The good news is that we can, and are, taking action to give Pacific

JASON HWANG

ANOTHER VIEW salmon the best chance of adapting and surviving these changing conditions. Through our Community Salmon Program, we’ve funded habitat restoration in which community groups replant native vegetation that supports the riverbank and shades the stream. For salmon, this is the difference between baking in 44 C direct sunlight versus surviving in cool water thanks to shade. This simple, but necessary restoration work can protect two generations of salmon — juveniles and spawning adults. Those who live along rivers and streams can support salmon conservation by leaving natural vegetation along the stream in its place or replanting native species if it’s bare. But work can’t stop there. In our largest salmon nursery, the Fraser River, we’re undertaking research to identify migration impediments in the Fraser Canyon that can be rectified in the face of climate impacts — a critical step in helping our salmon recover is making sure they can make it back to their natal stream, giving salmon a chance to adapt. Erosion along the watershed, flooding and increased water temperatures are a few of the significant impacts climate change has brought to bear on the Fraser.

In the Fraser Canyon, where we recently saw Canada’s highest-ever recorded temperature, work is underway with the Matsqui and Yale First Nations to tag and track the precise locations where salmon are holding between Hope and Lillooet and determine areas of potential fish passage improvement. When migration conditions are difficult, like the current high-water levels in the Fraser, being held up for a few days can make a difference between salmon successfully making it to their spawning grounds or dying en route. Identifying places that are holding salmon up on their spawning migration can improve the odds for tens of thousands of salmon. As we look ahead, there are other efforts that should be explored related to salmon habitat and water management — preparing for hotter weather and droughtlike conditions. Our communities need to work together and include salmon in planning efforts related to water. Investments in improved irrigation planning and technology can help to save water and could be the difference between healthy salmon habitat and dried-out streams that spell the end of populations. With optimized water use systems, improved monitoring, co-ordinated withdrawal and nature-based solutions for water storage, our streams can remain healthy habitat for salmon to thrive. The Pacific Salmon Foundation is collaborating with partners to help to advance this. Protecting headwater areas, small streams and natural cold-water sources is also vitally important as they contribute to stabilizing flows during low water periods and help to moderate effects on water temperature. Salmon will often seek out these areas during extreme conditions and, even when they do not use these areas directly, the contribution of clean cool water is

often essential to their survival. Research and restoration are key to adaptability. With solutions at our fingertips and action across communities, we can make a huge difference in the face of climate change in giving salmon a fighting chance to survive. We know climate change is big and it’s hard to know what you can do. There are simple measures you can take to help be a part of solutions, such as: • Be water wise. Think about how important the water you are using is to the salmon that are struggling to survive in your community rivers and streams. • Protect and restore stream side areas. Healthy streamside vegetation can make a significant difference in water temperature and water quality. • Don’t dump anything you wouldn’t put in your garden down a storm drain. The storm drains in developed areas often lead directly to streams. • Talk to your family, friends and neighbours. Often people don’t know that their activities could be making things worse for salmon. • Join a local stewardship group. • Support the Pacific Salmon Foundation. Many of the bigger issues for salmon are too big for community organizations to take on. The foundation and our team of professionals can use your donations to collaborate with others and work on these larger scale problems. Our efforts combined with yours in the community can help to turn things around for our salmon. Our salmon are resilient, but conditions for them right now are difficult. They need our help now more than ever. Jason Hwang is vice-president for salmon with the Pacific Salmon Foundation. Read the entire column online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Opinion tab.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SOME ADVICE TO HOMEOWNERS DURING FIRE SEASON Editor: When the forest fires occurred in 2017 and, on alert most weeks of the summer, we decided to do more than just save our personal belongings. We were going to stay and save our home if it was at all possible. To our good fortune, our home did not burn. It was decided that we would fireproof our home. We started by replacing the shingles on the roofs of our home and buildings with metal roofing. The vinyl siding, which is so prevalent on homes today, was replaced with stucco. By doing so, it did more than make us feel comfortable, if there were to be another fire. In the three years since we undertook this project, we showed the insurance company what we had done. My insurance rate dropped, albeit ever so slightly. My hydro bills dropped significantly and we observed that our home stayed relatively cool during

extreme heat. On alert again this year, I will be more prepared to evacuate with the comfort of knowing my house will get scorched on the exterior but will remain intact. Also, dishwashers today have stainless steel innards. Fire cannot penetrate to the inside of the dishwasher and acts like a fireproof safe. With your framed photos, place each one individually in the slots on the bottom rack. Place your jewelry and documents in a can and place on the top rack. Close the door to the lock position. You could also use your oven to protect some things but it may be compromised in the fact that the oven door is not totally sealed. If you can’t do these ideas, dig a hole in your yard, place your valuables in a can, tape the lid down and fill the hole with the dirt. Food for thought. Lois Ward Kamloops

Meal Train remains on Tranquille, day centre stays closed MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Loop drop-in centre will not be reopening at its Tranquille Road location, but the city has allowed the organization behind it to continue using it for its COVID-19 Meal Train program. Glenn Hilke of The Loop said the meal train program will still be operational out of the building at 405A Tranquille Rd. to prepare meals. The day centre, however, which provided space for the city’s homeless to congregate while accessing food, water and other services, remains shuttered. Hilke said it’s “much too soon to tell” when asked if they will endeavour to reopen the drop-in centre program at 405A Tranquille Rd. or another location. He noted that new day space being set up on nearby Campbell Avenue by a group of social agencies is only opera-

tional for the next four months after receiving the $38,000 in funding The Loop was denied. “Nobody knows what’s going to happen after four months in terms of there being a day space and shelter,” Hilke said. The non-profit that oversees The Loop received permission to continue food preparation for the meal train out of the building, but the city has forbidden food service inside or outside the building on the property. “We told them that we thought it would be a great disservice to people who are food insecure if the meal train could not continue,” Hilke said. The not-for-profit Lived Experience Community Life and Peer Skills Program, oversees various programs such as the COVID-19 Meal Train, The Loop drop-in centre and The Big Edition street newspaper. Carmin Mazzotta, the city’s social housing and community development manager, told KTW the city granted the

request to allow the meal train to continue operating out of the space as the issues occurring in the space were attributed to people congregating for The Loop program. “It was issues and concerns around site management, the community impact on adjacent businesses as well as residences in the area as opposed to the COVID-19 Meal Train,” Mazzotta said. Mazzotta said there have been concerns with The Loop regarding client and public safety in and around the site, but as the city sees it, the meal train program should be allowed to continue as it is just staff using the building for food security purposes. The meal train pre-dates The Loop in usage of the building and involves food preparation and delivery of twice daily meals to various locations around the city where homeless individuals can be found, including to non-profit housing accommodations.

“It’s feeding a couple hundred people throughout the city,” Hilke said. The city has also contacted the Kamloops Food Bank regarding the resolution, clarifying that the organization can still supply the meal train at the Tranquille Road property. Hilke said the food bank cut access to food donations last week until the issue with the city was resolved. Mazzotta said the food bank has also expressed interest in supplying food to two new day spaces opening in Kamloops, which will ideally open within the week. Last Thursday, following a physical altercation between Loop visitors and someone staff described as a vigilante, the City of Kamloops moved to close the space. Bylaw officers attended, had those in attendance clear up a pile of items left outside the building and hauled away what wasn’t claimed. They also asked staff to close their doors.

Despite a vow from Hilke to reopen the space the following day, volunteer, Heather McDonald told KTW on Friday they opted to remain closed so as not to antagonize the city. According to Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, The Loop, which was deemed a nuisance property by the municipality in May, had not taken steps to improve conditions leading to it being listed as such under its bylaws, so it is being closed on that basis. He said in the months since, the situation there has deteriorated further. The drop-in centre has served as a space for the homeless and others to congregate and get water and meals, but has been the subject of numerous complaints related to people congregating, drug use and garbage left behind. Asked if The Loop is permanently closed to the site by the city, Mazzotta said he could not speak to that as the process is still ongoing.

Two day spaces created for Kamloops’ homeless community Interior Community Services (ICS), providing a day space at 346 Campbell Ave., which is the vacant, privately owned former liquor store property behind the Northbridge Hotel. City of Kamloops social, housing and community development manager Carmin Mazzotta said the two locations are expected to open in about a week. “This is that safe place for folks to go where they can hang out and relax and have some water, maybe be connected to services and not feel like they are moved along or loitering,” Mazzotta said. Both sites will have tables, tents and chairs set up for individuals in the parking lots and will be run by a pair of outreach workers and a program co-ordinator. The Gathering Place downtown will be open from noon to 8 p.m., seven days a week and cleaned up every night after closure. Envision will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Local non-profits are opening two daytime hangout spaces for the homeless, on West Victoria Street downtown and near Tranquille Road in North Kamloops, for the next four months. The spaces — dubbed The Gathering Place for the downtown location and Envision in North Kamloops — have received short-term facility use permits from the City of Kamloops. The south shore location will be operated by the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society (KAFS) and The Mustard Seed in the parking lot on the west side of the city’s storage facility for the homeless run by KAFS, at 48 Victoria St W. Envision will be operated by a coalition of the Canadian Mental Health Association, ASK Wellness Society, KAFS and

daily, with a shuttle service offering transportation to shelters when the site closes each evening. The site will be maintained and cleaned on a nightly basis. Mazzotta said the Campbell Avenue space in North Kamloops will be fenced in to control access and the building used for access to water and washrooms. The Gathering Place downtown will act as an extension of services available at the storage facility. Homeless individuals have been known to gather at a no-loitering area at the east side of the building from where the day space will be. In March, a security guard patrolling that spot became involved in an altercation with a homeless individual when he refused to leave the spot after 5 p.m. The day spaces came together as a result of the non-profits seeking the federal government’s Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy grant to fund The Gathering Place.

There was interest to pursue a similar project on the North Shore, Mazzotta said, noting the funding setup for Envision is still being worked out, but may utilize some of the Reaching Home funds. The North Shore location is just metres from The Loop drop-in centre at 405A Tranquille Rd. Mazzotta told KTW the new day spaces are not meant to replace The Loop. “It’s about providing day spaces that are well managed and going to be run by reputable, established, non-profit organizations in the city,” he said. Differences include the level of site management and supports available, Mazzotta said. He said the need has been identified by the Reaching Home advisory board, city council, social service agencies and the community in general — that the city’s homeless need a place to go during day-

time hours. One benefit of the North Shore space, Mazzotta noted, is its location will be near amenities, but less visible from the street frontage on Tranquille while providing attendees with privacy. Both sites will operate until November, when the cold weather sets in, but Mazzotta said the Out of the Heat/ Out of the Cold program will also be co-locating out of the Campbell Avenue day space operating throughout the winter months. That program had previously been operating at The Loop. There will be another round of applications for the Reaching Home grant this fall and both spaces will be up for funding again in April 2022, Mazotta said. “At that time, we will have had some outcomes to use, some lessons learned to look at and be able to apply those lessons to any future projects,” Mazzotta said.

Tk’emlups te Secwépemc plans to open its own independently run grocery store in 2023. The 22,000-square-foot, $13.2-million project is expected to break ground in the spring of 2022 on the southwest corner of Highway 5 and Shuswap Road, across from the band’s Petro-Canada gas station and car wash, the band’s last major business development, which occurred more than 10 years ago. Chief Rosanne Casimir told KTW the establishment of the reserve’s first grocery store will create pride amongst band membership. “They’re going to be taking a lot of pride in the fact it’s going to be providing some educational [opportunities] and entry to future positions in the food industry,” Casimir said. “And entrepreneurial avenues, as well.” The announcement of the new project comes as band staff responsible for leading the project shift from business planning to implementation. Devin Gambler, Tk’emlúps’ interim manager of business and economic development, said in the past 18 months, they have completed a feasibility business plan through Vision Quest Advisors, created a band-run corporation for the grocery store and future site development and have

Barbershop sign can stay following meeting with city JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Continental Barbershop on Victoria Street has a new window, a new sign — and it won’t be getting a fine. Owner Lise Mitra said she met with CAO David Trawin last week following news the city had threatened to fine her if she did not take down or paint over plywood covering a window on her Victoria Street storefront, which had been smashed after midnight on Canada Day. Mitra had written on the plywood a message thanking three men who came to the rescue, tackling the person allegedly responsible for the vandalism until police arrived. The message scrawled on the plywood also encouraged reporting of crime. Mitra earlier told KTW community services officers, formerly bylaw officers, visited and indicated the plywood covering the window was contrary to the city’s sign bylaw. Since then, Mitra said she met with Trawin, who indicated there will not be a fine charged to the business owner. She said she was told the officers were supposed to have been coming to warn her about changing her broken window within six months. Trawin told KTW the intent was for officers to educate Mitra on the time period for removing plywood and fixing windows but it was not communicated as well as it should have been. “I think the issue was more the boarding up than the sign, to be honest with you,” Trawin said, noting the city does not want to see windows boarded up for extended periods but it typically gives people a reasonable amount of time to do so. A review of the process around bylaw

education and enforcement is also coming to a future city council meeting, Trawin said. Meanwhile, Mitra said the plywood has since been removed and the window fixed at a cost of $1,400 (a $500 deductible, when insurance is factored in.) Mitra said she has since put up a new sign on poster board thanking the citizens of Kamloops for their support and also reiterating her message around community safety. She said she won’t take it down until she decorates her store front for pride week, which takes place in late August. “All of us downtown are so tired of having to pay, continuously pay over and over and over again for things that we have no say over,” she said, noting things need to change.

Downtown attacker remains at large MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISMN INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties continue to search for a suspect after a woman was sexually assaulted and robbed by a man downtown. Const. Crystal Evelyn said police received the report just after midnight on Sunday, July 18. When officers arrived at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, they were flagged down by a woman, who told them she was getting into her vehicle when a man jumped in, sexually assaulted her and stole her cellphone. The phone was later found by police. Evelyn said the woman was able to honk her horn and yell, prompting the suspect to run away, westbound down an alley between Seymour and Victoria streets. The suspect is a white man in his 30s with a raspy voice. He was wearing dark clothing with orange stripes down his arms.

“Our team of investigators has been working diligently, collecting surveillance and witness statements, as well as examining any forensic evidence available,” Evelyn said in the press release issued July 22. “If anyone saw or heard anything that could assist in furthering this investigation, please reach out and let us know.” Asked why there was a fourday gap prior to police making the public appeal, Evelyn said that was because she opted to wait to see if investigators could produce a better image of the suspect to release to the public before publishing the press release. No clear image, however, was obtained and the press release was issued without a photo. “I knew a team of investigators was working steadily on obtaining witness statements, evidence and surveillance [footage]. Sometimes in investigations, police officers are able to identify the suspect

before going to the public for assistance,” she told KTW via email. “When it comes to media releases, I do my best to publish releases as quickly as possible, while also being respectful of the investigative steps which need to occur.” There has been no arrest made in the week since the reported attack and police have no updated information to release publicly. The investigation is ongoing and police are still in the process of collecting and reviewing video surveillance, as well as trying to identify potential suspects. “If an arrest is made or more releasable information becomes available that could help police further this investigation, we will definitely issue an update,” Evelyn said. Those with any information on identifying the attacker are asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file number 2021-24462.

Lytton, through the eyes of visitors KEN FAVRHOLDT

SPECIAL TO KTW

he tragic fire that consumed most of Lytton on June 30 this year is the end of a chapter of the community’s history. Lytton is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in North America, with an Indigenous history going back thousands of years. The site at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser rivers is the heart of the Nlaka’pamux Nation. The visit of the first white people to Camchin, as explorer Simon Fraser wrote that the Nlaka’pamux called the place, was on June 19, 1808. In his journal, Fraser spoke of the hospitality he and his crew received from the Chief and his people — numbering 1,200. Fraser states, “I had to shake hands with all of them.” Lytton was also called “the Forks” by the fur traders and “Grand Forks” by HBC governor George Simpson in 1828. His party ran the Thompson and Fraser rivers in canoes, barely escaping with their lives. In 1857, a Hudson’s Bay Company depot called Fort Dallas was established about five kilometres downstream from the river confluence. But it was short-lived. When the Crown Colony of B.C. was established in August 1858, Fort Dallas was closed and the buildings were moved to the site of the new town. In November 1958, James Douglas, B.C.’s governor, decided that the settlement

PHOTO COURTESY KMA # 3125 A view of Lytton looking north in 1895. The C.P.R. right of way is seen on the east side of town.

would be named Lytton, after Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton who was Secretary of State for the Colonies. Douglas reported that “the Forks, where the Town site of ‘Lytton’ was laid out, now contains 50 houses and a population of 900 persons…” In 1859, another visitor to the town, Lieutenant R.C. Mayne, described it as “an irregular row of some dozen wooden huts, a drinking saloon, an express office, a large Court House — as yet unfinished — and two little buildings near the river which had once belonged to

the H.B.Co. but which were now inhabited by the district magistrate.” Another account from 1859 in the Victoria Gazette, said of the town, “The ‘City’ of Lytton is beautifully situated on a high plateau of green sward, as level and smooth as a carpeted floor… The town numbers twenty-six houses, built mostly of logs, one or two being very nicely finished…” Following B.C.’s entry into Confederation in 1871, a start was made on planning the Canadian Pacific Railroad. In 1872, Sandford Fleming and his CPR survey party

stayed at the Globe Hotel run by the Hautier family, saying of Lytton that it can “scarcely be considered worthy of its aristocratic name. A single row of frail unpainted sheds or log shanties, the littleness and rickettiness of which are all the more striking from the two noble rivers that meet here and the lofty hills that enclose the two valleys, is the sum total of Lytton.” In 1866, there was an attempt to have Lytton named as the capital of the newly amalgamated Crown Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia.

Victoria was chosen over New Westminster but not before Lytton was nominated as a possible seat of government. In 1871, photographer Benjamin Baltzly, (mentioned in this author’s previous article in KTW) described Lytton: “Most of the houses are unpainted, one storey buildings. It has a grist mill, several stores, groceries, and a few hotels… The soil is light and sandy and the wind blows unceasingly almost like a hurricane, and one can imagine the effect of sand and dust.” There had been a significant Chinese presence in Lytton starting with the gold rush and then the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway through B.C. in the early 1880s. A Chinese joss house, where deities are set up on an altar for people to pray for good health and peace, was located at the south end of town. The C.P.R. was completed through the town in 1885 and was followed by what is now the Canadian National Railway in 1914. Sadly, much of the history of Lytton was lost in the recent conflagration that destroyed the Lytton Museum and the Lytton Chinese History Museum that had only opened in 2017.

FAITH

KAMLOOPS

“take up his Cross” and follow Christ. The martyr’s spirit, which had sustained the Church in the early decades and centuries, was now threatened by a strong tendency to laxity and nominalism (paying lip-service to Christianity, rather than demonstrating one’s faith through one’s life and actions). Faced with its new challenge to baptize the Empire, how could the people within Church maintain the fervency of their commitment? The answer lay with a group of ordinary people, who literally walked away from their worldly lives to seek Christ in isolation — monastics. By no means the first, the most influential of these radical Christians is undoubtedly Anthony, who along with Pachomius and Athanasius, is widely credited with founding, establishing and promoting monastic Christian culture. Anthony at first dwelt in the cowshed at the bottom of the garden of his home in Alexandria. As his reputation grew, the constant stream of visitors seeking to inject new fire into their waning faith overwhelmed him, and he retreated into the desert as a hermit. Pachomius later established communal monasticism: likeminded individuals, each following Anthony’s example,

living in community under the authority of an “Abba” (from which we get the word “Abbot”). Desert monasticism was just what the Church needed, adding a powerful new dimension to a faith that was facing greater and greater temptations to worldliness. It has been referred to as “standing challenge” to the Church in the world, a continual reminder of Jesus’ words: “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” (Matt. 19:21) The spiritual witness of these early monks has been compiled and is available in books such as The Lives of the Desert Fathers and The Sayings of the Desert Fathers. These texts are easy to read and powerful in their directness. Just a few examples: “When asked a question, answer. Otherwise, keep silent” (Abba Poemen); “Go and sit in your cell and your cell will teach you everything” (Abba Moses); and “Any trial that comes to us can be conquered by silence” (Abba Pastor). Today, Christians face many of the same challenges and temptations as they have since they first acquired the State’s stamp of approval. Whether or not we believe that the legaliza-

tion of Christianity utterly corrupted the Church, the fact remains that all Christians must fight to detach themselves from their possessions (materialism); make their faith something more than “Sunday only” (secularism); and demonstrate their faith in deeds and not just words (nominalism). For those of us who have chosen to undertake such struggles in the world, the ancient tradition of desert monasticism challenges us with a radical solution to a worldly threat that seeks to overcome us an any moment. Eastern Orthodox tradition sums up this solution, evolved over centuries of monastic life and practices, in a single word: Hesychia — the Way of Inner Stillness. Through the practice of short, silent prayers like the Jesus

Prayer (“Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner!”), Hesychia allows Christians to accomplish inwardly and spiritually what Saints Anthony and Pachomius did outwardly and literally: “walk away” from our slavery to worldly life; go alone into the room of our hearts and close the door; pray to our Father who is in secret (Matt. 6:6), so that He who sees in secret can reward us with the one thing needful: His Spirit, His life, His power — and Himself. Next time: The Church of the Councils. V. Rev. Richard René is the priestin-charge of St. Nicholas Orthodox Mission, (orthodoxkamloops. ca), an Englishlanguage Eastern Orthodox Church for the Kamloops community.

ORTHODOX WHAT? (PART FIVE)

ate in the fourth century, St. Augustine compared the conversion of Constantine and the legalization of Christianity to a fishing expedition in which “both good and bad fishes” were caught in the net of Church. He was referring to the inevitable decline of general Christian piety as a result of the new worldly freedoms that Christians everywhere were experiencing. Before Constantine’s Edict of Toleration in 314 A.D., confessing the Christian faith was nothing less than social, cultural, religious and literal suicide. You certainly did not “get ahead in life” by becoming a Christian. On the contrary, you pretty much guaranteed that your property and goods would be confiscated, and that you would meet a painful end through a variety of gruesome means. With the conversion to Christianity of the highest authority in the known world, the situation took an abrupt about-face. Now, conversion to Christianity was fashionable, the thing to do if you wanted to rise in the social and political ranks of the Empire. It was convenient for everyone to become a Christian. As a result, not everyone who converted to Christianity did so out of a wholehearted desire to

Ethical behaviour requires thought before action

knew the instant the rock left my hand, it would land close, and I immediately felt ill. The golf-ball-sized stone arched up and out, hit its height, then began its gravity-fuelled race for the lake beneath. I watched helplessly as the missile I’d fired fell, down, down, down, then crashed with a great whup and a small splash of water not more than three feet from the loon. The great bird with the mottled black back and delicate purple sheen across its head startled for a moment, then set back about its business — no thanks to me. Had I been just a little more accurate with my aim, it would have been needlessly wounded or killed. I sat there for a moment and tried to figure out what the hell went through my brain that I would pick up a rock and fire it in such a foolish way. I couldn’t say I didn’t mean to hit it because I aimed deliberately and threw with sufficient force to reach it. Granted, it was one of those inconceivably long kinds of attempts, the ones so improbable that success seemed almost impossible. Had the target been a floating log or a tin can, I might have even been awed by my ability to launch a rock so far and so accurately, especially since I usually throw worse than most 10-year-old kids. I didn’t really believe I might hit the loon, even as I lined up on it and let loose. The loon was a long way from shore. But the consequences of striking the unsuspecting bird were terrible. The loon could

enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and maybe, if they’re lucky, stick away a bit of meat to feed the family through winter. However, some of us will be confronted with moments — and be forced to make choices that will define who we are. Maybe it will be a moose in a clear-cut just after dark or a buck walking a tree line, slightly beyond the distance where a person is comfortable with the shot. Hopefully, we will stop and think for a moment about the consequences of taking a wrong shot, about what could happen if we make the poor choice. That’s what ethical behaviour is all about, thinking through the outcomes before the event. More importantly, that’s what it means to be human. I failed miserably the day I threw the rock at the loon many years ago. But I licked my wounds and patched my judgment with the hope it wouldn’t let me down so badly again. Another part of being human is learning from mistakes.

NARRATIVE have been wounded seriously. It might have thrashed and rolled helplessly with a broken wing or a smashed back, its cries echoing across the lake. My wife and young daughter were playing down the beach. How would I have explained to a toddler that Daddy just senselessly killed a bird for no reason other than to satisfy some macho little-boy silliness? And why didn’t I think about all that before I let loose? It was a moment of terribly bad judgment. It struck me later how many frightful things are done in similar moments. People seem to have a shocking lack of ability to realize the awful consequences of seemingly innocuous beginnings. Many crimes are committed by people unable to connect end dots with beginning dots or see the dots in the middle that trample over innocent people and things. The sad part is, we can see them if we stop for just a moment before we act. The instant I threw the rock, I understood what I had done.

Had I held it just a twinkling longer, perhaps common sense and reason would have prevailed, and I would have dropped it at the water’s edge. The backcountry is a terrific breeding ground for innocuous beginnings with terrible ends. Over the next few months

Pendrel’s ‘heart is full’ after Olympics race MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

otwithstanding a sportsmiracle podium finish, the result was never really going to be the story of prolific mountain biker Catharine Pendrel’s swan-song performance at the Olympic Summer Games. The 40-year-old Kamloops resident gave birth to daughter Dara on Jan. 26 — just being at Tokyo 2020 is the story. A noteworthy 18th-place finish on Tuesday in rainsoaked Izu, Japan, in her fourth Games is muddy icing on caked tires and her beaming smile while waving to fans and crossing the finish line is the lasting memory. “Heart is full,” Pendrel wrote on Instagram. “It is such an honour to compete at the Olympics and crossing the line having done my best, with cheering fans and the special group of women that make up the mountain biking circuit surrounding me is a memory I will cherish.” Jolanda Neff topped the all-Switzerland podium, dominating the field to finish the 20.55-kilometre course in one hour, 14 minutes and 56 seconds. Swiss teammates Sina Frei and Linda Indergand won silver and bronze, respectively. Pendrel finished eight minutes and one second behind Neff and was the top Canadian, with Haley Smith of Uxbridge, Ont., finishing 29th. “I’ve had so many women message me, women that

would like to have children and women that do have children and recognize what it takes to get back to this level,” Pendrel told the Canadian Press after the race. “Having these really visible examples of what is possible is really inspiring, because you do get a lot of people coaching very, very conservative approaches. And I think [for] a lot of women, being athletic is a huge part of their identity, and having that permission to

be who they are and who they want to be, as a mom, as they were before.” Pendrel has placed 53rd, 23rd, 26th and 21st in four 2021 World Cup races since giving birth and sits 26th overall in World Cup standings, so the Olympics result — obtained on a slippery, muddy course that was pounded with rain on Tuesday morning — has to be considered the best of her season.

“You soak up every Olympics, because you never know if you’re going to get an opportunity to have another Olympics,” Pendrel, who was competing internationally three months after giving birth, told the Canadian Press. “But yeah, after the race, I was more nostalgic than other times, just getting to see the girls who had the races they dreamed of, the girls that had really big disappointments, and having experienced the highs and lows of Olympics before myself, and having that perspective to kind of be there for them.” Overcoming postpartum challenges was only the latest hill for Pendrel to climb on course to Tokyo. Injuries, including a broken arm that scuttled much of her 2018 campaign, factored into a 2019 slump, along with an Olympic hangover year in 2017, when the mental and physical stresses that accompanied a banner 2016 season took their toll. “I was supposed to be good!” she wrote in a 2019 blog post, an aging athlete mired in a period of self-doubt. The plan was to retire after the 2020 season, but the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the World Cup schedule and led to the postponement of the Tokyo Games. “Right now, I don’t think I’d feel the sense of completion if I didn’t see this season and this Olympic quadrennial through,” Pendrel, an Olympic bronze medallist, two-time world champion and three-time World Cup series champion, told KTW in May of 2020.

She also did not want to put off motherhood. Husband Keith Wilson and Pendrel decided to try for a baby during the pandemic break. The Fredericton, N.B., product was training 13 to 15 hours a week in the final stages of her pregnancy, biking and cross-country skiing with Dara on board. “It was really hard to know what my expectations were coming in.... You can hope for a miracle. But this is just where I was able to get to six months after having a baby. And I’m proud of that,” Pendrel told the Canadian Press. Pendrel has four more major events before she retires from competitive riding: two World Cups, the world championship and the national championship. The Olympics resume: fourth in her 2008 debut in Beijing, a ninth-place finish in 2012 in London — a bitter pill considering she was among favourites — an inspirational ride in Rio in 2016, when she crashed but recovered to claim bronze, and Tokyo 2020, when mom showed Dara what it means to be determined. “Catharine is obviously very, very special,” Smith told the Canadian Press. “She’s an incredible athlete, a very, very kind and impressive human. Catharine has helped me manage [the pressure] as best I could, and I’ve learned so much from her. She’s just the perfect teammate. I couldn’t be more grateful that I got to experience this Olympics with her. “It’s pretty cool to be here with your idol. I’ll just leave it at that.”

Matt Berger could not find his groove on Saturday at the postponed 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo. The 27-year-old Kamloops product placed last (20th) in the qualification round in the men’s street skateboarding competition, finishing with a total score of 4.02. Yuto Horigome of Japan won gold, posting a score of 37.18 in the finals to finish atop the podium. Berger, who has received an outpouring of support through social media, expressed thanks to fans after the event. “Never would I have thought yesterday would go the way it did and I apologize to the ones I may have disappointed,” Berger wrote on Instagram. “There are a lot of variables that come into play that make or break your days and yester-

He recovered from a brutal fall in the Street World Championships last month in Rome, rallying with support of fans to reach the finals and secure Olympics qualification. Berger, Andy Anderson of White Rock and Micky Papa of Vancouver made up Canada’s first Olympics skateboarding team, with the sport making its debut at the postponed 2020 Games. Papa placed 10th on Saturday in the qualification round to fall short of the final. Berger is the top-ranked Canadian in the street discipline in Olympic World Skateboarding rankings, sitting 10th overall.

‘I’M LIVING ON A CLOUD’ MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Childhood friends often envision scenarios of some day joining the NHL together. Tyson Galloway and Logan Stankoven of Kamloops are living the dream. “I’m on a high right now,” said Galloway, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound defenceman who toils for the Calgary Hitmen in the WHL. “I’m living on a cloud.” The Dallas Stars picked Kamloops Blazers’ forward Stankoven in Round 2 (47th overall) and the St. Louis Blues nabbed Galloway in Round 5 (145th overall) on Saturday in the NHL Draft. Stankoven and

Galloway have been playing with or against each other since they first laced skates in the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association. “We’re like best buddies, basically,” said Stankoven, who was enjoying time with friends on Sunday at Paul Lake. “It was a pretty special moment for us to share, with how much work we’ve put in together over the years and we played on so many different teams together growing up. “We got together the other day and shared that special moment and congratulated each other.” The complete dream scenario did not quite come to fruition for Stankoven, whose Round 1 snub may have nightmarish consequences for

NHL teams not named the Dallas Stars. “With me being a smaller player, teams tend to pass over and stay away from guys on the smaller side,” said Stankoven, a right shot who stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 170 pounds. “I guess I understand that side of it, but for me, it just makes me hungrier and makes me want to prove so many people wrong. “It was a little bit of a disappointment, I guess, not only for me, but for my family, too. I try to hold myself to the highest standards and I really wanted to go in the first round and I tried to do as much as possible to solidify myself as a firstround pick.”

Stankoven played in six regular-season WHL games in the pandemic-shortened 2021 WHL campaign, racking up 10 points, including seven goals, three of which were game winners. Team Canada scooped him away from the Blazers in time for the International Ice Hockey Federation Under-18 World Championship, which ran from April 26 to May 6 near Dallas, Tex. Stankoven, who was nabbed by the Blazers fifth overall in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft, notched four goals and eight points in seven games for Canada and

led the tournament with a plus-14 rating. “It basically adds more fuel to the fire — go to the gym more, work out harder, stay after practice, shoot pucks,” Stankoven said. “When there are people that don’t believe in you, it makes you want to prove to them that, hey, I can play at that highest level and play with the top dogs.” Galloway was elated

to be drafted by the Blues. Perhaps only his mother, Lisa, was more jazzed. “She was jumping up and down and shed a few tears, for sure,” said Galloway, who had nine points, including four goals, in 17 WHL games last season. “The last 24 hours have been pretty surreal. I’m just kind of letting it all sink in.” Stankoven’s last 24 hours included a call

from Stars’ owner Tom Gaglardi, who is also the majority owner of the Blazers. Gaglardi informed Stankoven the Stars attempted to trade up to snag him, but no deal came to fruition. “They didn’t have to because I fell into their lap,” Stankoven said. “I couldn’t be happier.” Former Medicine Hat Tigers’ director of player personnel Carter Sears, now a scout for the Blues, welcomed Galloway to St. Louis. “He said, ‘I couldn’t grab you in the WHL Bantam Draft with Medicine Hat, so I was going to make sure I could get you today in the NHL Draft,’” said Galloway, who also spoke to Blues’

GM Doug Armstrong. “I thought that was pretty cool and it made me feel like they really wanted me.” Stankoven and Galloway left the KMHA to join Yale Hockey Academy in Abbotsford and returned to Kamloops to team up with the Thompson Blazers in the B.C. Major Midget League. The WHL opponents may some day clash in the NHL. For now, they’re just two buddies living the dream. “We grew up basically on every team together,” Galloway said. “It was honestly so special that we got to enjoy the day together. It’s unreal.”

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. Double Disposition? A. Laws in BC say that a deceased body must be “disposed of” (what a horrendous word!) and it can happen in one of two ways: burial or cremation. If it’s buried, the law considers “disposal” complete. If it’s disposed of by cremation, it has to be disposed of again once it becomes ashes. That second disposal can be complicated!

Left to mourn his passing are his loving wife Clara, son Desmond, daughter Jacqueline (Dale), and grandchildren (Cody, Jenna, Xander, Quinten, Jaidyn). He will forever be in our hearts.

Flying was his passion and he happily told stories of his years as a bush pilot. Over the past several years, his health declined. Not being able to putter in his workshop was a huge hardship for him. A Funeral Mass did take place at St. John Vianney Parish, 2826 Bank Road on July 23, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. In keeping with Ben’s spirit, please do a random act of kindness to a stranger.

Ship The

She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”. by Henry Van Dyke

IN LOVING MEMORY

The love of my life for sixty-two years is gone.

Brian L. Lannon

February 23, 1968 – May 15, 2021 It was with profound sadness that we learned that Brian had not surfaced while scuba diving, on May 15th of this year at Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, BC. He was 53 years old. Brian leaves to mourn his loss, his wife of twenty-one years, Jennifer Cook of Kamloops, BC; parents Barry and Barbara Lannon of Forest Grove, BC; brother Rory (Michelle) Lannon and niece and nephew Sophie and Tommy of Maple Ridge, BC along with aunts, uncles, family in-law, and many, many friends and colleagues. He was pre-deceased by his beloved dog, Lady, who was never far from his thoughts. Brian was born in Vancouver, BC but moved to Kitimat and then to the 100 Mile House area with his family when he was very young. Throughout his youth he developed a great love for the outdoors and gained many skills that would shape his life in later years. Brian was a rare person who could figure out most things, mechanical, construction or otherwise. He considered these gifts to be practical and common-sense – he seemed to store these things in his mind and did not require the help of Google. While he began his working days as a steel fabricator, Brian’s workinglife revolved around his service with Kamloops Fire Rescue. He spent twenty-six years with KFR and was a Captain at the time of his passing. He had opportunity to move to other positions within the department but always wanted to be on the floor ‘with his guys’. Brian had deep empathy for people and wanted to help and protect them whenever he could. The fire service was an excellent fit for him. A quiet person by nature, people where amazed by the beautiful things Brian created – from cedar strip kayaks, to furniture, to gates and pieces of art. He had a plan to combine his love of wood and metal into a business in retirement, but I’m not sure he would have let anything go! He even built a guitar which he played from time to time. Brian would fondly share memories of the epic adventure race he participated in with fellow fire fighters, which I think he enjoyed more than the Ironman triathlon he completed. He also spent many years downhill skiing and was a member of the ski patrol at Sun Peaks in his younger years – somewhere along the line there is a famous story about an altercation with a grouse… He had a great sense of humour and laughed freely amongst those who knew him well. He liked the quiet of paddling on a lake, or hiking in the woods and could set up a very comfortable camp site. In contrast, enjoyed the rumble of a Harley Davidson motorcycle. While we all wish Brian could have made it to retirement – he was so close – so he could have checked-off a few more things, he did not hold back in enjoying life. Scuba diving had become his passion and like all things he engaged in, he threw himself into it fully. If there is any kind of silver-lining, he spent his life, right up to the last moment, with the people he loved, in a beautiful place, on a warm and sunny day with laughter and a smile. No formal public service is planned, but the family does wish to acknowledge the overwhelming respect and love shown to Brian during his ‘last ride home’. There are no words to describe this incredible tribute. In Brian’s honour, please thank and support members of our emergency response community – Fire Rescue, RCMP, BC Ambulance and everyone else who shows up on our worst days. It truly takes special people to do this work.

“The best measure of a life well lived has less to do with the number of years we live, but with how others’ lives were touched by our presence.”

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.

Monica passed away on July 15, 2021 following a brief courageous fight with cancer. Born in Chilliwack, BC on February 22, 1940, Monica spent her early years in Hope, BC and then in Chilliwack where she spent her time attending school and working on her parent’s farm. In 1959 she met and married Brian Green. Two children followed shortly, Colin (Char) and Colleen. Other persons left to mourn her passing include a sister Beverly Masurat, and a brother Henry Suderman, plus granddaughters Brianne Rutter, Katelyn Winston (Ivory) and her buddies, great-grandchildren Evelyn and Malcolm Winston. In 1962 the family moved to Kamloops where her artistic self reasserted itself. Monica had the voice of an angel and loved to sing. She moved well up the scales of the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Shortly after moving to Kamloops and not being able to afford a piano which she also played, Monica took up the guitar. Following lessons from a little known, but world famous “classical guitar” teacher, Monica emerged as a guitar teacher herself - specializing in classical guitar but enjoying teaching the music of the day. Being a choir leader in her church was one of Monica’s joys, most of the choir members were international students from the University and were all well received by not only the church but by the community at large. When not involved with: sewing, gardening, potting, painting, music or homemaking, Monica enjoyed being a realtor for twenty-five years and threw in a year of doing political advance work for one of our previous Premiers as well. An unbelievable warm and loving person who put family above all else. She will be sadly missed by family and friends.

GOOD BYE G.G. A Celebration of Life will be held at Oasis Church (1250 Rogers Way) at 2:00 pm on Saturday, August 14, 2021. No black attire please.

Helen Beauchamp

August 22, 1937 - June 29, 2021 Helen passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home in Chase, BC. She was a wonderful, kind and positive person who cherished family visits. She is deeply missed and lovingly remembered by daughter Wendy, son Jeff and three nieces and their families. She was predeceased by first and second husbands Dan Pomeransky and Ted Beauchamp and sister Joy Hemmings. Helen was born and raised in Calgary. She obtained a Chemistry Lab Technology diploma from SAIT in Calgary and later worked in a food safety lab in Lethbridge, AB. She met Dan while working for the summer at Chateau Lake Louise, but sadly their time together was short. Helen later lived in Lake Louise with Ted and their family. In 1977 the family moved to Chase and Helen enjoyed living by a lake that was warm enough for swimming. She became an avid gardener and loved fresh fruits and vegetables and her flowers. She spent many hours canning fruit and making jam. She was part of the “Stitch Group” for many years and enjoyed all the social activities and birthday celebrations. Helen especially loved outdoor activities such as hiking, bicycling and cross-country skiing. She also liked bowling, golf and playing cards and board games. After Ted retired, he and Helen went on many bus tours and car trips in Canada and the US. Helen also enjoyed car-camping and hiking with Wendy.

You are about to complete the biggest transaction of your life. Something that must be done right and with care. Let me help you make sure that is what happens. I’m Chris, Kamloops resident for over 30 years and rugby enthusiast. For me, being a member of this community is a lot like being in a rugby team. We all look after each other, we are proud of who we are, and no one gets left behind. It’s important for me and my family to support our community, not only through excellent groups such as the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation,Kamloops Pride and Kamloops United Way but we also buy local produce, support local eateries and sample our local wineries as much as we can! That’s why I believe that when it comes to buying and selling your house, choosing a local member of the community is important as well.
