KAMLOOPS ELECTION FIELD FILLING UP KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Frank Caputo will be the Conservative candidate for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo in the next federal election. Caputo, a Crown prosecutor, emerged victorious in a weekend membership vote featuring four candidates. Also seeking the nomination were Tourism Kamloops CEO Beverley DeSantis, Tobiano founder Mike Grenier and Barriere Mayor Ward Stamer. Results of the membership vote — in which about 800 ballots were cast — were not released by the riding association. Caputo will succeed fourterm MP Cathy McLeod as the Conservative candidate, as McLeod has decided to not seek re-election. An election call is expected later this month. Caputo told KTW shortly following his nomination win that the reality of the situation hadn’t yet sunk in. He said he felt his team ran a strong campaign, adding he is humbled to be selected by party members. “It would be an honour to represent the hard-working people of

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo,” he said in a statement. “I will fight for local priorities like safe streets, accountability and transparency. The Liberal government — led by Justin Trudeau — have ignored this region for too long.” Echoing the sentiment by other politicians and media pundits, Caputo said he feels a snap election could be called by the prime minister at any time, noting the Conservatives need to be ready for the upcoming campaign. The only other nomination race thus far locally involved the People’s Party of Canada, with
Corally Delwo defeating Matt Robson for the nomination. Delwo, who finished 20th among 21 candidates running for Kamloops council in 2018, is also a co-organizer of so-called freedom rallies in Kamloops, gatherings featuring people who are opposed to government measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and people who question whether COVID-19 is indeed a pandemic. Following her June 27 nomination win, Delwo said she is looking forward to meeting people in Kamloops and the rest of the riding.
“I will not forget that I also represent Clearwater, Barriere, Sun Peaks, Pritchard, Savona, Clinton, 100 Mile House and all the other communities and homes in between,” she said. “I will also work in partnership with all our neighbouring First Nations bands. With the recent news cycle highlighting historical tragedies at residential schools in Canada, I will be a strong advocate of our Indigenous communities and support their efforts to heal and thrive.” Over the weekend, the Liberal Party of Canada acclaimed lawyer George Petel as its candidate.
Petel was born in Kamloops, raised in the Bonaparte-Cache Creek-Ashcroft area as a child and educated at St. Ann’s Academy, John Peterson junior secondary and Kamloops High. He attended the University College of the Cariboo (now known as Thompson Rivers University), the University of Calgary and UBC’s Allard School of Law before going to work in Calgary at a national law firm and, later, in a publicly traded company specializing in construction and commercial law.

CURBSIDE ORGANIC WASTE COLLECTION PILOT PROGRAM THE KMA REFRESHED The Kamloops Museum and Archives (KMA) has launched a website that brings the KMA into the modern era while preserving history and providing an accessible‑minded and inclusive platform for history and education. Established in 1937, the KMA is one of the province’s oldest museums. The museum collects, organizes, and interprets notable objects and historic records from the region for the purpose of preservation, research, and exhibition. Having an online presence is an equally important role for a museum.
The Curbside Organic Waste Collection Program is shifting into Phase 2—a one‑year pilot program—in September. Five pilot routes have been selected that cover sections of Westsyde, Brocklehurst, the North Shore, Upper Sahali, Juniper West, and Valleyview. An organics curbside cart, a kitchen bin, and an information package will be delivered to pilot addresses in late summer. There is no additional cost to residents on a pilot route. Residents on pilot routes are encouraged to subscribe to information updates.

Monte Lake fire details on the way

Although cooler and wetter weather has hindered further spread of the White Rock Lake fire, which devastated Monte Lake last week, officials continue to respond to questions over how the fight was handled. The fire was sparked on July 13 and has since spread in multiple directions, moving north and northwest toward Westwold and then branching north across Highway 97 and through Monte Lake. The fire has now slowed, with its northernmost arm about 30 kilometres south of Chase. Deputy Minister of Forests Rick Manwaring said the fire showed aggressive behaviour early, burning at Rank 4, or “highly vigorous,” and notably aggressive for a new start. Manwaring said on July 13, the initial attack crew arrived within 30 minutes of the blaze being called in, but with such fire

aggression, the team was diverted to evacuate properties in the area. “We don’t put people in front of Rank 4 fires,” Manwaring said. He said the wildfire service had ground crews working with local ranchers, adding crews stayed on the fire locally throughout the night and helped residents construct fire guards. But that account of the events is disputed by some area residents, who claim they felt abandoned or say they were told to leave when trying to help. Others stayed behind to protect their property — something the BC Wildfire Service has discouraged, saying that doing so only endangers residents and wildfire crews. Manwaring also said the fire was burning at Rank 6 — the most aggressive ranking — when it moved through the Monte Lake area, with 40 km/h winds gusting to 60 km/h. “Rank 6 is very challenging, even for structural protection units to protect properties,” he said.
Structural protection units are sprinkler systems that can be deployed to create a “humidity bubble” around a property. But Manwaring said not every property can be protected that way. Full details of the wildfire service’s timeline of the incident are set to be provided to media on Thursday. Since April 1, the province has seen 1,453 fires ignited, with nearly 652,000 hectares burned, far above the 10-year average of 905 fires and 140,000 hectares burned to this point in a year. There are currently 262 active fires burning in the province — 185 of which were caused by lightning and 16 of which were sparked by human activities. Causes of the remaining fires remaing under investigation. Hot and dry weather is expected to return this week, with temperatures around 35 C expected by Friday. B.C. currently has 38 states of local emergencies, 10 band resolutions, 63 evacuation orders affecting 6,219 properties and 108 evacuation alerts affecting 31,903 properties.

Evading authorities to help save properties Tuesday, according to Drive BC, due to the wildfire. Gryte said there is a police exclusion zone in the area, but he and a few others who know Bouchard have been able to ship in supplies. “There’s a few ways to get in and out around the police roadblock and we’re getting together stuff to keep them going and keep them safe,” Gryte said. On Tuesday, he told KTW, an excavator on a flatbed truck, as well as much-requested handheld radios and water totes, were being delivered to Bouchard, to whom Gryte speaks with on the phone several times per day, despite spotty cellphone reception in the fire-razed area. “There’s a lot of supplies between totes and radios and equipment and food, hose and pumps — there’s a lot of stuff that’s moving around right now,” Gryte said. He said the group of Bouchard’s friends are spread

Kyle Gryte has no qualms about circumventing a police line to help a friend in the fireravaged Monte Lake area. “You’re doing a not-allowed thing, but for a good cause,” Gryte told KTW. The Lower Mainland resident is part of a group sending supplies to longtime friend Rob Bouchard, who stayed behind, after losing his own home, assisting fellow residents fighting spot fires threatening property still standing after the White Rock Lake fire roared through the rural community southeast of Kamloops. Their efforts, however, are in contravention of an evacuation order in place for the Monte Lake area. A portion of Highway 97 between Kamloops and Vernon that runs through Monte Lake also remained closed as of
between the Lower Mainland and Kelowna, organizing supplies, which are then shuttled to people in Kamloops, from where the supplies are trucked into Monte Lake. “There’s eight or nine of us that are all working together,” Gryte said, adding they started organizing supplies on Friday, the day after Bouchard’s home burned. Gryte said he’s been a point man from the Lower Mainland and, while he hasn’t yet breached the Monte Lake evacuation zone himself, he plans to this weekend with a group of friends intent on helping out for a few days. There has been criticism from B.C. Solicitor General Mike Farnworth that residents who defied evacuation orders on Friday placed the lives of themselves and firefighters at risk. Meanwhile, sentiment from residents expressed to various media outlets has been that they are there protecting what they have,
along with criticism that the wildfire was actioned too late. Gryte said he felt Farnworth’s criticism of people staying behind was “quite disrespectful.” Asked what compelled him to raise funds and undertake the shuttling of supplies for his friend, Gryte said he wants to help people in need during situations outside of their control. He said Bouchard, who he considers a close friend, would do the same for him. Gryte said all supplies sent into the area have made it to Bouchard and others without issue and he isn’t aware of any run-ins with police or fire officials. Asked what he thinks will happen if he’s caught trying to access the evacuation area with supplies, Gryte said he believes that would be a tough call for those tasked with stopping him. “Are they going to arrest people and send you away when you are trying to help people out?
I don’t know,” he said. Gryte said Bouchard put it best during a recent interview. “He said ‘What are you going to do, fine me, take my house away? It’s literally a pile of ash,’” Gryte said, noting residents who remain in Monte Lake are simply trying to save what they have left. Gryte said Bouchard’s wife and children are staying with family in Chilliwack while he remains in Monte Lake with a number of other residents fighting the spot fires. They are based out of a neighbour’s home Bouchard helped save shortly after his own home was lost to the flames. Gryte has also set up a GoFundMe account to help the Bouchard family rebuild. That campaign has, as of Tuesday, has raised more than $48,000. To find that fundraiser online. go to gofundme.com and search “Rob and his family lost everything to fire.”

The White Rock Lake fire burns near Monte Lake on Aug. 5.
Fundraising campaigns follow fire’s ferocity MICHAEL POTESTIO
LOCAL,JOURNALISM INITIATIVE
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A number of online fundraisers have popped up for residents impacted by the White Rock Lake fire southeast of Kamloops. Four GoFundMe campaigns have raised, as of Aug. 9, more than $110,000 between them for fire victims in the Monte Lake area that saw their property burn when the fire spread through their community last week. One of those fundraisers has already accumulated $65,082 toward a $100,000 goal, for a 45-acre bike ranch in Monte Lake known as The Farm. The fundraiser was organized for ranch owners Ron Penney and Krys Green by their friend and professional mountain biker Matt Hunter, who said on the campaign page the pair are OK, but “lost everything” when The Farm was destroyed by wildfire. “They had created an amazing paradise and a lot of unforgettable memories for so many people,” Hunter said. Kyle Gryte and two others have raised $38,860 toward a $75,000 goal for his close friend Rob Bouchard who lives in Monte Lake. On that campaign page, Gryte said his friend and his wife and two young
kids had their home and personal belongings burned in the fire. Gryte said the Bouchards built a fire break and used sprinklers, but they were “no match for this inferno.” “He is also a local small business owner and a lot of his equipment was burnt as well,” Gryte said. “I have known Rob for close to 20 years and consider him a true friend. There is a small group of us right now trying to help Rob and his family out with whatever we can and I am reaching out to see if anyone else can help a family that has lost everything due to fire.” Gryte went on to say the Bouchards did not have insurance due to their remote location in rural Monte Lake and that Rob has been trying to help fight spot fires in the area due to a lack of resources from the BC Wildfire Service. There has been growing criticism of the provincial government and the BC Wildfire Service with respect to the response, or lack thereof, to the fire when it was small, with many ranchers in the area willing, but not authorized, to attack the fire in its infancy. Since it was first sparked on July 13, the fire has grown to 56,000 hectares, destroyed many structures and led to myr-
iad evacuation alerts and orders across a massive area between Vernon and Kamloops. Kevin Cooke has raised $5,555 for his sister, Jackie Cooke, who lives in Monte Lake. In his GoFundMe campaign page, Cooke said his sister lost her home and several animals to the wildfire when it ripped through part of town on Aug. 5. The Alberta-based brother hopes to hear from anyone who may spot his sister’s cats near the burned property. Megan Biluk of from Langley, meanwhile, has raised $2,485 for her brother, who, along with his girlfriend, “suffered unimaginable losses” in Monte Lake due to the fire. “My family means the world to me and I hope to help them in the best way I can. Funds will also be donated towards helping the community rebuild and help others in need,” Biluk said in her GoFundMe campaign page. “We are all in this together, please help.” To donate to the campaigns, go online to gofundme.com and search: • Cole Biluk and Brooke Carmichael Fire Support. • Please Help Jackie Cooke Start To Rebuild Lost All. • Rob and his family lost everything to fire. • Friends of The Farm helping out.

t’s been 17 months like no other. A pandemic that began in B.C. a year ago this past March isn’t over yet. There is grief in coming to terms with knowing children died on the grounds of the former residential school at Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc — and what that means for survivors and the rest of us as we grapple with the legacies of colonialism. We have an opioid crisis that killed more people in this province in 2020 than did COVID-19. We have seen wildfires, climate change, a deadly heat wave, weeks of poor air quality and neighbours fearing — and, in some cases, seeing — their homes burning to the ground. In Kamloops and beyond,

Human- and nature-caused fires, villages burning down, lightning strikes and evacuation alerts and sudden orders (I see you, Juniper Ridge). Evacuees are living out of suitcases. Firefighters, first responders, doctors, nurses, volunteers, social workers and those at emergency operations centres are also in the thick of it. Even if we’re not on the front lines, the accumulation of the last several months may have us feeling like things are out of our control — and, as a result, we feel off-kilter, uncertain and wobbly. I’m not a therapist, but as a fellow human being, I urge you to
find ways to make your personal OK-ness a priority today. You may be able to carry a heavy load for a time, but no one can do it forever. Ask for support when you need it. Find ways to structure your days when you’re feeling that wobble — whether that’s prioritizing mealtimes, getting regular exercise, talking to a trusted friend or simply taking a moment for a deep breath. Have you already hit the wall, then gone a few feet past it? It happens. It’s not too late to reach out and free resources are available. Call the BC Crisis Line at 3106789 — no area code needed. Health Emergency Management BC has a helpline for those who have been affected by the forest fires: 1-888-686-3022.
For residential school survivors and their families, the Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line is at 1-866-925-4419. Whether you’re an optimist whose glass is half-full, a pessimist whose glass is half-empty, a resilient realist who knows the glass can be refilled or a count-yourblessings type who is just grateful to have a glass, none of us can give from an empty cup. The people in your life need you, as does your community. Can you take a moment just for you today? Kathy Sinclair is a Kamloops councillor. She can be reached by email at ksinclair@kamloops.ca.

Was the conquest of Mexico in 1521 inevitable?
A
ug. 13 is the 500th anniversary of the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The capital of the Aztec empire, Tenochtitlan, fell to the invaders after a long siege, and became Mexico City. It was a major historical event, still mourned by millions and celebrated by millions more five centuries after it happened. But was it actually inevitable? Laurent Binet doesn’t think so. The French writer’s novel Civilizations, which started winning prizes as soon as it was published in 2019, has now been translated into English and offers an alternate history in which the Incas and Aztecs conquered Europe. It’s fiction, of course, but it makes you think. Binet starts 1,000 years ago with the
ANOTHER VIEW GWYNNE DYER
Viking voyages to Vinland (Newfoundland), an interesting historical fact that had no known impact on the rest of the world. But in Binet’s version, a single band of Vikings sails all the way down the coast and up the Amazon River, finally conquering and intermarrying with a native Amerindian group. This is the key plot device because this stray Viking group not only gives the locals the technique for making iron tools and weapons, it also gives the native Americans all the Eurasian quick-killer diseases: smallpox, cholera, influenza, bubonic plague, typhoid, etc.

The first generations of local victims die in swathes, but by 500 years later, their descendants have all the same immunities as Europeans. So, when Columbus shows up in the Caribbean in 1492, the local people are as well armed as his crew, they don’t fall ill and they eat the European explorers for lunch (metaphorically, of course). Then an exiled Inca ex-monarch in Cuba has his men reverse-engineer Columbus’ ships, builds some of his own and sets out to Europe to see what he can conquer or steal. There follows a picaresque story in which a band of 300 Inca “conquistadors” first overthrows the King of Spain and then, modestly reinforced by other Inca adventurers, takes over Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. England’s King Henry VIII, despairing
of getting the Pope to annul his 24-year marriage to Catherine of Aragon so he can marry Anne Boleyn, abandons Christianity and declares himself the local representative of the Sun God. France is conquered by the Aztecs instead and everybody lives turbulently ever after. The message seems to be that native Americans, given the opportunity, would have been slightly nicer and more enlightened imperialists than the Europeans who filled that role in the real history. That may be true, but is not very relevant, since the whole scenario is entirely incredible. Read the entire column online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Opinion tab.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SEEKING DIRECTIONS TO ‘AWAY’
TIME TO CRACK DOWN ON CITY CRIMINALS Editor: What kind of city are we going to become? We have people using drugs on the streets, local businesses being robbed, store employees being stabbed, people assaulted downtown and in parks and vehicles broken into. This wasn’t happening a few years ago and now it’s seems to be a daily occurrence. It’s time to get tough on crime and clean the mess up. Kamloops isn’t the same city I grew up in and this let-it-ride attitude isn’t cutting it. The RCMP must be getting frustrated every time a criminal is released from court with a promise to appear at a later date. It is time to clean up the mess. Noel Gopsill, Kamloops
Editor: The young woman in the doorway was dirty and smelled. Her clothes neither fit, nor had they been washed. She had been banging on the back door for several minutes. It was clear she was after something, something she knew we would have and supply her with. Crystal meth? Coke? Nope. Tampons. The girl knew she could get free tampons and a toothbrush at The Loop. She had been there many times. She came for food, water and shampoo. She came for underwear and shoes. She came to use the toilet, then the sink to wash her hands and face. And she came knowing she would be treated with respect. On a recent evening, I had to tell her to go away. City orders. Fines and other penalties if I helped her out. I also had to tell
the many seniors, low-income families, disabled people, runaways and, yes, those with addiction issues, to go away. As we are a “nuisance” on the North Shore, our guests must also be seen as such. The “users” were by far a minority among our guests. Those dealing with mental illness sought counselling and help in finding shelter. The seniors came for a decent meal and the chance to chat with our volunteers. Everyone wanted juice, chicken wings and ice cream, particularly when the temperature soared above 40 C. Our many supporters would often buy these treats for us. That is impossible with the city’s closure of The Loop. When the community service (bylaws) officers came, I asked them where these people should go. The
response was that they should “go away.” Alas, I know not of this place called “away.” Is it a city or a town? A distant planet, perhaps? It is unlikely our clientele would be able to afford airfare or even a bus ticket. They cannot afford their own food. Can someone please tell me how to get to “away”? My GPS seems to be at a loss. I tell people they have to go away, so it should at least be marked on our maps. I’ll ask a city council member for directions to “away”the next time I see an employee or council member. Sad. Show me a politician who is genuinely concerned about homelessness and the opioid crises in our city and I will show you a pig that flies. Heather McDonald Kamloops
LET’S DEMAND THE REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH Editor: Kamloops has a NIMBY (not in my backyard) problem. If we don’t want people dealing with social issues in our backyards, let’s solve the problem that put them there.
It might be too late for some on the street, but let’s stop putting more there. Let’s demand the redistribution of wealth. Will Peters Kamloops

No mandatory vaccination at TRU SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
Hundreds of American and Canadian universities have made vaccinations mandatory for students to attend campus, to live in residences or to play varsity sports. But Thompson Rivers University is not among them, nor is any other university in B.C. Instead, a full return to campus under “normal” conditions is expected, according to TRU vicepresident Matt Milovick, who called the mandates made by some universities in Ontario a “very aggressive” approach. B.C.’s return-to-campus guidelines were developed by public health officials and a panel of experts and led by a steering committee, which included Milovick. They outline how students, staff and faculty will return to campus in the fall — in a way that is similar to how they did prior to the pandemic. “The way the return-to-campus
guidelines are written, in a perfect world, assuming the trajectory doesn’t change radically, it would look a lot like it did in the fall of 2019,” Milovick said. That means vaccinations, masks and physical distancing won’t be required to attend full classrooms. In fact, on the day classes begin at TRU — Sept. 7 — the province is scheduled to enter Step 4 of the restart plan, which eliminates any remaining COVID-19 restrictions going forward. The campus guidelines at TRU do anticipate that “COVID-19 transmission will be low, and more important, serious infections will be uncommon.” It does appear that vaccinations have curbed the amount of serious infections, with the number of deaths B.C. has reported dropping significantly this year as vaccines roll out. Hospitalizations have also fallen dramatically and remain low, even as case counts increase. British Columbia has a population of about 5.1 million. As of Aug. 4, there were just 55 people in hos-
pital due to COVID-19. But “low” in terms of case counts is a metric the provincial government has never defined, despite it being one of the criteria necessary for the province to enter into Step 3 of its restart plan, which it did on July 1, when B.C. was at its lowest case counts since October 2020. Since the lull in July, B.C.’s latest trajectory is ever-increasing upwards, now reporting hundreds of new cases each day, just one month out from the start of classes. Milovick said TRU is “all-in” on the return to in-person learning, noting the university will follow the lead of the public health office and Dr. Bonnie Henry. But some plans are in place if cases emerge on campus. The guidelines suggest institutions leave one to two per cent of their housing inventory as a quarantine area. At TRU, Milovick said, that means about 25 beds will be kept vacant. Otherwise, he expects housing to be full this year, with enrolment numbers already challenging the high point seen in the
2019-2020 school year. “I think we will likely have them in one building in a space we can essentially isolate from the rest,” Milovick said of the area set aside for use as a potential quarantine area. And if there’s an outbreak on campus, Milovick said the university will hand over the reins to Interior Health, which will follow its own outbreak protocols. Milovick said if absolutely necessary, the school has also proven it can quickly shift to a remote learning model, but he is optimistic that won’t happen. “We’ve followed the provincial health office and Dr. Bonnie Henry so far, and she’s kept us in a good spot, and I think we’re going to continue down that path and see where it goes,” he said. On-campus vaccination clinics are also planned, but no dates have been set. The nearby city-run Tournament Capital Centre is still operating as the community’s only COVID-19 vaccine clinic. TRU’s international student
population made up 38 per cent of the university’s total student population in the winter 2021 semester, accounting for about 3,328 students. Most came from India, China, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Vietnam. Many of those countries have struggled to secure and deliver vaccines, meaning firstdose rates in those nations range from 1.3 per cent in Nigeria to 28 per cent in India. “We know a number of students we’d get internationally in the fall won’t be vaccinated, or may not have an approved vaccination. We want to be in a position where we can make it easier for them to get it,” Milovick said. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said arriving students not yet immunized with World Health Organizationapproved vaccines will be vaccinated with appproved vaccines. Dr. Sue Pollock, Interior Health’s chief medical health officer, said IH is working with universities to have vaccines available as students arrive.
Teaching Your Kids About Money Eric and I have two kids each who proudly are the center of our worlds. As much as we want them to have nice things in life, we feel it is also important to teach them about money and healthy financial habits. Here are some tips to help talk to children about money: 1. Split money into three buckets: Spend, Save and Share. This teaches children to think about what they can do with money, that spending is not the only option, and the importance of saving and helping others. 2. Talk about how you make money and where it is spent. Given the prominence of credit and debit cards and other payment technology, kids rarely see money change hands. Letting kids know that money does not grow on trees but rather comes from hard work is important. Understanding your job pays for your house, food, car, gas, internet can be things they may take for granted.
3. Share money mistakes you have made. Kids love hearing parents are fallible. Within reason, share stories of mistakes you have made and how you learned the hard way. Examples could include overspending on your first credit card or regretting that you did not start saving sooner in life. 4. Set a financial goal. Show them how to plan and save up for something such as a new video game, expensive clothing they MUST have, or even their first car. What are they willing to do for it? How long will it take? It also teaches trade-offs and financial discipline – what we feel are two great attributes to long term financial success. Kids who have worked hard to earn their reward also feel empowered versus entitled. 5. Teach them how to negotiate. Overcharged on a bill? Have them listen as you problem solve and work to get your money back using positive conflict resolution skills. Ask them what they think is fair to be paid for chores. Why do they deserve more allowance? This also helps teach them the value of their time. 6. Discuss the impact of fees and interest. Show them where to review items such as bank fees, cell phone bills, or how interest charges

add up and take a bite out of hard-earned money. It is paramount to explain credit cards and the impact of paying upwards of 20% interest on the balance. 7. Get them involved. Grocery shopping can be a great experience to learn what things cost, how to look for sales and work within a budget. 8. Tell them no. Our kids are not shy asking repeatedly for things. While wanting to do nice things for our kids, we also want to avoid raising entitled children. Sometimes the best answer is no. 9. Pay for half. Growing up, our parents would sometimes compromise to pay for half a purchase. This meant we had to raise the other half and would look for the best deal as it saved us money. By teaching kids about money, it can help them grow up to be financially savvy and confident. It could save parents money in the long run too! Written By Keith Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

COVID-19 vaccine second dose interval cut to 28 days SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C. health officials have again reduced the interval between the two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, lowering it from 49 days to 28 days. The decision, announced on Monday, comes as daily case counts rise due to the highly transmissible delta variant. Health officials said about 170,000 people will receive a second-dose vaccine appointment booking invitation over the next two days. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said those not in high-transmission areas may see a benefit in deferring for a longer interval, with higher effectiveness seen in those cases. “Right now, it’s about balancing the epidemiological data and the need to get people highly protected as soon as possible, knowing we have a lot of transmission from the highly transmissible strains — gamma and delta,” Henry said.
5 Watch Battery
$ 00
In the Central Okanagan local health area — anchored by Kelowna — where an outbreak has been declared, the interval was lowered to 28 days as part of transmissionprevention measures taken there nearly two weeks ago. As of Monday, the province’s first-dose vaccination rate is about 82 per cent, while 70.3 per cent have received both doses. Henry said most cases are occurring in people who are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated. POSSIBLE EXPOSURE AT TCC Two people who took part in a public swim at the Tournament Capital Centre on July 30 have tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Interior Health is contacting all people who attended that day’s public swim from 1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. and instructing them to isolate for 14 days from that date. The list of attendees is available via the fact the city still requires people to register to visit the facility.

Scientists develop green fuel to combat climate change
Zero carbon GreenNH3 is 1/4 the price of fossil fuels and doesn’t pollute, so why aren’t we using it? If record heat waves, out-of-control wildfires and flash floods have you worrying about climate change, Roger Gordon’s invention is sure to ease your mind. Ammonia is an inexpensive, zero-emission fuel that can power our cars, farm machinery and mining operations. Unlike petroleum products, ammonia can be easily man-made using nothing more than water and air, and with Gordon’s invention even amateurs can make the fuel themselves. That means no more fossil fuels, and no more pipelines across the country to transport fuel to your door. “I don’t know of a better solution than this,” says Gordon, whose company GreenNH3 developed the ammonia-manufacturing technology alongside the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and the University of New Brunswick. It’s cheap (about 25 cents a litre), but cost savings aren’t the main motivator for the scientists who developed GreenNH3.
The planet is in crisis, and humans can’t flee to some space colony to start over — healing earth is our only viable option. “GreenNH3 scientists sacrificed time and money to bring the world this wonderful solution, and politicians are ignoring it. Before Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister he praised GreenNH3 but after getting elected he will not reply to our messages. All we need is for his government to express their support, and investors around the world will be ready to come on board.” His message to Canadians? Call your MP and MLA. If they don’t know about GreenNH3 give them a day to get educated — and then call them again.
Interest around the world Ammonia has been used for decades as a fertilizer, fuel, refrigerant and disinfectant — this isn’t an experimental fuel. Large-scale ammonia manufacturing has
also been around for decades, but GreenNH3 is cleaner and easier to make on a smaller scale. The machine is about the size of a refrigerator. “Farmers in Sweden and Germany have come to Canada and expressed interest in the technology. Mining operations in Canada’s north would love to use it instead of diesel. But we need to mass-produce these machines, it’s not cost-effective to build them one at a time,” Gordon says. And that’s why he’s hoping for a government response to get the project to the next stage — and reduce the harmful effects of greenhouse gasses on our planet. “We’re looking for one willing politician, or one willing investor to help us save the planet. There must be one out there.” Learn more about the project at www.greennh3.com or contact pure@bell.net to get involved.

Christmas trees, grapes survived heat wave The Heathfield family, tracked, hunted, caught and brought home this spruce from the Woodward Christmas Tree Farm in December 2017. The good news is the trees will be back this winter as they survived the recordbreaking heat wave of late June. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE
MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Privato Vineyard and Winery operations manager Adam Woodward said the Noble Creek water system helped his family’s little piece of heaven avoid devilish consequences during a record-breaking heat wave in late June. “With those temperatures, it’s just survival mode,” Woodward said. “You’re not growing at all. It was just all we could do to keep enough water in there to keep the humidity and temperature down as best as possible. “It’s a really good system and it feeds all the farms water in the Noble Creek area. We are lucky to have it.” The overheard irrigation lines that douse the vineyard and orchard worked overtime to save the crop, which may have been lost if the heat dome — Kamloops set record-high tem-
peratures in three consecutive days, peaking at 47.3 C on June 29 — persevered much longer. “I don’t have a crystal ball, but yeah, if it kept going for another week, we might be in a totally different situation, where we might have lost it,” Woodward said. A quashed crop would be devastating, resulting in the loss of four years’ worth of harvests, Woodward said, noting vines would have to be ripped out and new ones
replanted the next year. Woodward ballparked revenue from grapes at $15,000 per acre. Privato has five acres. The winery evaded significant damage and Woodward suspects the soaring temperatures may have been kind to grapes, which love sunshine and heat. Smoke taint, most often found in red wines, may result from wildfires burning across the province, but winemakers have tricks to minimize its smell and taste.
“A lot of people like it,” Woodward said. “It’s a silver lining.” Privato escaped disaster earlier this summer, but Woodward is concerned about the effects of climate change, noting the Noble Creek water system is not designed to adapt to low river levels. “We’re working closely with the city to see if there is an opportunity to get some funding around climate change to upgrade our system intake and have more efficient water distribution methods onto the crops,” Woodward said. Harsher winters — most of the grapes Privato uses cannot
withstand temperatures below -28 C — and drought are also a concern. Christmas tree growers on the Coast and Vancouver Island have reported damage from the heat dome, with spring seedlings dying and some trees’ needles turning brown, rendering quality too poor to sell this winter. Woodward Christmas Tree Farm operates on the Privato property at 5505 Westsyde Rd. There was minor damage to some trees, mostly on their southwest-facing side, but not enough to have noteworthy impact on revenue this holiday season, Woodward said. Staff watered Privato’s garden area heavily during the heat wave to save flowers, trees, plants and shrubs from dying. “We were really concerned ... but luckily, we were able to keep it watered enough and everything is really green and colourful in there now,” Woodward said.

Accused in homicide gets seven-year sentence MICHAEL POTESTIO
LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
One of five men charged in connection with the gangland slaying of a Kamloops man nearly three years ago has been handed a seven-year prison sentence. Darian Rohel pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops last week to one count of manslaughter for his role in the death of Troy Gold, 35, whose remains were found in the Lac Du Bois Grasslands north of the city in October
2018, weeks after he was reported missing. Rohel is also already serving 3.5 years in prison following convictions on seven separate charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and an additional single count of possession of a controlled substance. He was one of five men arrested in the fall of 2019 in connection with Gold’s slaying. Rohel, Nathan Townsend, Jayden Eustache, John Daviss and Sean Scurt were each initially charged with seconddegree murder, but the charges
for all of the accused except Eustache have since been reduced to manslaughter. The trial for the accused has also since been split into two — Daviss and Scurt, with whom Rohel was to stand trial, will have their trial separate from Eustache and Townsend. Scurt’s next court date is on Aug. 30 while Daviss’ is set for Sept. 13. Both are for voir dire hearings. A voir dire is a non-publishable hearing held to determine whether certain evidence is admissible at trial. Townsend and Eustache
Darian Rohel (top) was one of five people charged in connection to the October 2018 murder of Troy Gold (bottom).
have a court date on Monday, Aug. 9 to fix a date for trial. All of the accused have been in custody since their arrests. The details of Rohel’s role in the murder cannot be published until his co-accused stand trial. Gold had been involved in the city’s drug trade, as were each of the five accused. His murder was the first in a series of deadly gang-related incidents in Kamloops over a violent five-month stretch that resulted in four people being killed and a number of others injured.
A life-saving B.C. Day long weekend for Mountie KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Quick action by a Kamloops Mountie helped save a life on the B.C. Day long weekend. On Aug. 2, the officer was on patrol downtown at about 10:50
p.m. and noticed a man had fallen out of his wheelchair at a bus shelter along Fourth Avenue. The officer checked the man and discovered he was not breathing. After requesting medical assistance, the Mountie
administered a nasal dose of Narcan, medication that temporarily reverses effects of a drug overdose, and began attempting CPR. A sergeant, who is also a member of the RCMP’s emer-

A Conservative riding for the past two decades From A1
Throughout his legal career, Petel has worked throughout North America and in Turkey, Kenya, China, the United Arab Emirates and Australia in the resource development and civil construction industries. “I am proud of my Secwépemc and Caucasian heritage,” Petel said. “Having to navigate these two worlds as a youth and young adult made me a better lawyer and negotiator.” Petel cited issues of importance that he said are, in part, reflected in the organizations with which he volunteers his time: a strong economy, helping vulnerable people and environmental sustainability (as the president of the Red Cross of Southern Alberta, he was heavily involved in the campaign to end homelessness, the 2013 floods and other natural disasters). Petel said the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation allows him to give back to the hospital that brought him into this world and pointed to Venture Kamloops as working tirelessly to support new business ventures across the riding.
Lawyer Bill Sundhu was the first candidate to be confirmed in the riding, having been acclaimed by the NDP on April 8. Sundhu said his postpandemic recovery focus will be on better incomes and jobs, health care and making life more affordable, such as housing, child care, student debt and protecting the environment. “The policy decisions we make coming out of the pandemic will affect us for decades. We must ensure we do not return to the failed policies of the past — austerity, cutbacks and privatization — which has resulted in an unfair economy that has left too many behind,” Sundhu said. Sundhu, was born in New Westminster and raised in the Cariboo. He and his family have made Kamloops their home for the past 25 years. He was the NDP candidate in the 2015 federal election, finishing second to incumbent McLeod, who won by about 3,000 votes. Sundhu was previously a member of the Liberal Party of Canada and served as the party’s policy chair in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding.
Sundhu earned a master’s degree in International Human Rights Law from Oxford University and is counsel to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the Netherlands. He also serves on the University of British Columbia board of governors. During the nomination meeting, the local NDP riding association raised more than $36,000, according to constituency association president Garry Worth, who noted the association spent a total of $31,000 in the 2019 federal election. The online meeting, at which NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh sent an endorsement of Sundhu, had 125 registrants. Yet to confirm candidates are the Green and Maverick parties. The KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding has been represented by a Conservative/Canadian Alliance throughout this century, since Betty Hinton defeated two-decade NDP MP Nelson Riis in the 2000 election. The riding has had a female MP (Hinton and McLeod) for the past 21 years.
Smoky link to RIH visits? KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
It’s unclear if the rise in the number of respiratory issues seen in Kamloops lately are linked to recent smoky skies from nearby wildfires, according to the Interior Health Authority. In an emailed statement, an IH spokesperson told KTW Royal Inland Hospital has seen “above average visits” for respiratory complaints in the past month, but noted those issues cannot be directly linked to smoke exposure as cases can be influenced by a multitude of factors. “Influencing factors include air quality, heat exposure and infectious diseases; therefore, with prolonged exposure to higher than normal temperatures, COVID19 and wildfire smoke, it is impossible
to link the visits to any single or multiple causes,” the IH spokesperson told KTW via email. Interior Health said it could not compile what the average number of respiratory complaints RIH receives this time of year, nor what the current numbers have been this year for the Kamloops hospital, prior to KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday. The spokesperson added those numbers can be unreliable since they would be reported as respiratory illnesses at admission, but that is not necessarily the final diagnosis. With the exception of the past few days, Kamloops has been enveloped in smoky skies since the beginning of July. For more on this story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Day tripping from Paris: Our Lady of Chartres CHRIS MILLIKAN
SPECIAL TO KTW
travelwriterstales.com
A
ttracting pilgrims since the Middle Ages, and still one of the most revered monuments in France, World Heritage Our Lady of Chartres cathedral sparks our day trip from Paris. Almost hourly, direct trains travel between Montparnasse Station and old Chartres. The regional service sweeps us southwest across 80 kilometres of countryside. Along the way, our guidebooks describe the inspiring history of the Gothic masterpiece: “In 1194, a raging fire destroyed the ancient market town of Chartres, including its beloved place of worship.” Despite overwhelming devastation, hard work and determined fundraising helped committed townsfolk rebuild their cathedral in a remarkable 30 years. Arriving at Chartres station in about an hour, a stroll past the pretty town’s shops and patio bistros leads into a sculpturefilled plaza, complete with inviting benches. The cathedral’s two markedly different steeples soon greet us. On the right, the sober “older” spire and world’s tallest Romanesque-style bell tower contrasts dramatically with the “newer” lacy, flamboyant one to its left. The hardy climb its 300 worn
stone steps to achieve panoramic overviews. Nearing the main entrance, an embellished façade bedazzles. Astonishing lifelike figures frame Royal Portal’s three doorways. Kings, queens, priests and prophets stand atop decorative columns, wonderful lifelike faces contrasting with their rigid, elongated bodies. Above the doors, sculpted panels depict Christ’s holy story. To the left, angels lift Him onto a heavenly cloud. In the centre, apostles gather around Him. On the right, Mary sits serenely on the Throne of Wisdom, infant Jesus on her lap. Inside the hushed cathedral, 12th-century windows generate rainbow light on all sides. Donated by wealthy merchants and royalty to inspire hope, 172 stained glass windows primarily illustrate familiar Bible stories; some, daily medieval life. Like us, many bring binoculars to further appreciate the scenarios’ fine details. Over the west entrance, the original windows radiate marvelous shades of blue. Surviving the great fire, the shimmering 700-year-old glass strikes us as unusually exquisite. Around the choir’s ornate 100-metre-long stone screen, 40 sculpted scenes portray Mary and Jesus’ lives. Representing Christ’s glorious ascension, pink marble columns flecked in gold flank a magnificent white angel rising behind the altar. At one time, all this stonework, stained glass depictions

and other artworks imparted Christ’s story to a largely illiterate population. Eventually, the storied cathedral became fondly called the Bible in Stone. As well, artifacts and paintings fill recessed chapels throughout the cathedral. Scores of believers once trekked to Chapel of the Martyrs just to contemplate a legendary pale yellow relic. Thought to be the tunic worn during Jesus’ birth, the Veil of the Virgin is said to offer protection. Even today, curious travellers visit this treasured holy remnant,

also known as Sancta Camisa. Amid the nave lies an inlaid labyrinth, an element for personal reflection in many 13th century cathedrals. Typically an hour-long meditation, today’s devout worshippers walk the same maze-like course, some barefoot as they circle slowly toward the flower-shaped centre. In leaving through the south gate, three-tiered flying buttresses dominate the exterior. One of the first churches to use them, these striking reinforcements allowed

architects to double structural heights and add bigger windows. Spacious, airy cathedral interiors with better lighting resulted. Below a walled terrace behind the cathedral, we watch folks in Jardins de l’Eveche. La Musee des Beaux-Arts exhibits a 16th-century to 20th-century art collection and antique harpsichords. In a shady alcove, we relax on a stone bench to savour our baguette picnic amid magnificence and quietude. Before long, gentle music begins to fill the air. Chanting ancient French parables, a costumed street entertainer gradually approaches, a floppy chicken puppet tucked firmly under his arm. As he serenades, the wacky hen mimes his delightful ditties. On the northwest side, grotesque gargoyles perch boldly on the Gothic tower’s gutters. As well as keeping evil spirits away, their spouts divert rainwater from the wall. Nearby, a pavilion shelters a gold 24-hour, astrological clock. Indicating 16 o’clock, its already time for us to return to the train station. But first, we salute our wondrous immersion in architecture, art and history with double cassis gelatos. Visiting the celebrated Our Lady of Chartres proves to be a journey extraordinaire.

God, the master says: ‘Behold my servant’
W
hen we think of the word servant it brings all kinds of thoughts and images to mind. For some to
consider the role of a servant it carries with it the picture of one who is subjected to great suffering and hardship to do whatever the master requires.

The servant has no will of his own, he is just there to make life easier for the one who owns him. The history of servants has been one of abuse and sadness for many. Even today we can find those who are servants or slaves who suffer in this world under hard masters. So who is God talking about when He says in Isaiah 42:14 “Behold my servant?” There are enough clear clues right in these verses to identify who the servant is that the prophet is writing of. The first phrase is a giveaway when we consider just a couple of chapters further in Isaiah 52:13-15

and 53:1-12. Isaiah 52:13 starts with the same phrase “Behold my servant” and the rest of chapter 52 and all of chapter 53 are very obviously prophecy about the Lord Jesus Christ in his suffering on the cross. The one who is said to be God’s servant is His only Son. There’s a verse in Philippians 2:7 where we read about God’s Son who “took upon him the form of a servant.” This phrase of the scriptures is in the context of the self humiliation of Jesus even to the point of going to the cross. Verse 8 says that he was obedient unto death even the death of the cross. Verses 9-11 speak of the subsequent exaltation of Jesus. It is no wonder that God said back in Isaiah chapter 42:1 “Behold my Servant”.

There is an account in Luke 7:1-10 of a master who was a Roman centurion, likely living close to Capernaum. The centurion had a servant that was gravely sick at the point of death. The centurion sent for Jesus to come and heal his servant who was dear to him. So Jesus went right away and just before he came to the house the centurion sent messengers to tell Jesus that the centurion felt unworthy to have him in his home. The messengers said that the centurion
understood about authority, being a military officer, and that he believed that all that was needed was for Jesus to say the word and his servant would be healed. Jesus marveled at the centurion’s faith in him and healed the servant from where he stood having met the messengers. This account of a servant being healed by the greatest servant of all is just one of many countless acts of service that Jesus had done. On another point, in Matthew 12:14-21 we read of the Jewish
religious leaders planning to destroy Jesus somehow. When Jesus knew this he sought to avoid the conflict and went to other places healing and teaching. He told the people to not make him known. In other words he did not seek to exalt himself or make himself great. Matthew then tells us that this was a fulfillment of the passage from Isaiah chapter 42 showing the servant character of Jesus. The disciples of Jesus were often showing a very different character from their Master who was a servant. They would argue about who would be the greatest and Jesus would patiently be their example and seek to teach his own about being a servant. One of these times is found in Matthew 20:20-29.
The mother of James and John came to Jesus and requested that her two sons could have a place of prominence in his kingdom. After some deliberation, Jesus in conclusion said in verses 27-28: “And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” John Eggers is an elder in the assembly that meets in Westsyde Gospel Hall in Kamloops.

Fishing is all about quality of the experience
I
believe there are stages to a fly angler’s fishing career, periods of time when those who chase trout with a fly rod do it for different reasons. Novice anglers strive to catch fish, working to figure out a game they have never played. The act of consistently hooking up with rainbows can seem utterly perplexing to those who haven’t caught fish on flies before. There often seems little reason for success or the lack of it. Most novices are thrilled to have a fish or two on a trip. With time, however, order descends on the chaos and a novice’s eyes and ears begin to understand what’s happening on the surface of a lake and beneath it. With that understanding comes more consistent rewards. Stage 2 anglers want to catch lots of fish — a couple or three in a day is no longer good enough. Now, dozens of fish are required to mark success. The higher the count goes, the better. Anglers in this career period feel good when the day’s count hits double digits, as the number becomes a measure of their skill, proof to themselves or others they know what they are doing. Next comes the quest for big fish. Numbers matter less,
ROBERT KOOPMANS The Outdoor
NARRATIVE Mystical five-, six- and sevenpounders are the goal. Eight and nine pounds — even better. More than 10 pounds is a dream. With time, however, the zeal for the pursuit of big fish fades as well, bringing anglers to what might be the last stage of their fishing career and, perhaps, the most meaningful of them all. After anglers have learned to catch fish, then lots of fish and finally big fish, fly fishers will come to seek out something entirely different, something that in many ways is unrelated to fish at all — quality experiences. The hunt for quality experiences encompasses many aspects, from the choice of the lake to the company in the boat, as well as the
SPECIAL FRIDAY THE 13TH EVENT
CO-PRESENTED WITH:
nature of the day’s action. Sometimes quality fishing will be found even when the fish are in short supply. Maybe the weather is perfect, the lake empty of other anglers, the company good and the scenery sublime. Then, it seems to matter less that few fish take the bait. There are no definitive milestones that tell us when we move into a new phase of our fishing lives — only we know. I’m not sure what stage I’m in, but I suspect I am coming around to Stage 4. I know I am valuing more and more the quality of a day and I don’t care as much about the number of fish caught or how big they might be. I hadn’t thought it until recently and perhaps I would not have clued into it all, but for a couple of different experiences I had on our local lakes this season. On one trip before heat domes and wildfires made trips to backcountry lakes more difficult, I found a new thrill after setting aside my rod loaded with my favourite chironomid and trusty strike indicator. Even though trout were taking my suspended bead-head blackand-reds every other cast or so, I got bored catching the same group of 12- to 16-inch fish in the ways I have always caught them.
Best of Fest
The very best from the 2021 Kamloops Film Festival
I pulled up anchor and found a new location in deep water, a spot on the lake I have never fished before. I rigged another rod with a sinking line and a pattern I had never fished before. I felt a surge of excitement when I caught a fish. It was a first, and first experiences are always powerful. On another trip this past spring on one of our bigger, more popular lakes, I watched an angler sit in his boat over a small shoal in a tight little bay from 8 a.m. to noon. He never moved except to cast and recast his line. He caught a boatload of fish, dozens even, on almost every cast. Several other anglers crowded in around this fellow’s honey hole and many of them also caught fish. I’d been cruising around the area looking for active fish, but hadn’t found any. Despite that, I felt no urgency to join the fray, even though the fishing appeared smoking hot. There was a time I would have rushed over and joined in the crowded action. I don’t feel that need anymore, nor see the reward. Lastly, just a month or so ago, I had one of my best fishing days ever chasing wild trout on a small river with a good friend. The fish weren’t big, but the location was spectacular. We were on a three-day trip. Our

phones didn’t connect to networks and the sense of isolation felt sublime. The weather was great and even the bugs weren’t bad (well, not too bad). It was a combination that future trips will find hard to beat. I expect I’ll continue to get pickier about my fishing trips as seasons pass and perhaps it means I will fish a little less. I understand more those seasoned old veterans who don’t bother stringing a line in April when the fishing is marginal and our ice-free lakes are super busy. I know better now how they can be patient and wait until May and June, when more lakes open, the crowds disperse and the weather improves. I understand how they can leave a lake when things are cooking, content in the action they had. The quality of fishing can’t always be measured in numbers, either of hours on the water or the number of fish caught. Sometimes, leaving with more means counting less.

to reach the Baseball Canada Nationals in London, Ont. “All those seniors play other school sports and they’ve had those cancelled, too,” said Ingram, who is technical director for the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association. “Anything we can play is a bonus. “The major thing was to get everyone at-bats and defensive innings because they haven’t played in two years.” The season was split into halves, with Kamloops sticking to Interior opponents and no overnight trips in Half 1. More travel was permitted in Half 2. “It was short but sweet,”
Scholefield said. “We were able to get a bunch of travelling in, play against other teams and had a good time on the field.” Kamloops was slotted into Pool B at provincials, along with North Fraser (17-7), Cloverdale (12-10) and Trail (12-12). Chilliwack (16-6), Central Okanagan Minor Baseball Association (13-11) of Kelowna, Vancouver Island (20-4) and Ridge Meadows (12-12) were in Pool B. The Dogs split their games on Friday, besting Cloverdale 5-1 and falling 9-2 to North Fraser.
Rain washed out Saturday action. Trail posted a 9-5 victory over Kamloops on Sunday to end the Dogs’ tournament. “We had no expectations of what the season was going to be, so we just went with it,” Ingram said. “We finished over .500, played some good baseball and everyone got better.” The graduates were robbed of their Grade 11 Prep League season, but Scholefield is just thankful his buddies were able to play ball in 2021. “It wasn’t necessarily the outcome we wanted, but it was
nice, nonetheless, to be together, especially for me since it was my last season in Kamloops minor baseball,” he said. “It’s kind of sad, but at the same time it’s the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.” ON THE ROSTER The 2021 RiverDogs: Coyle, Coxon, Scholefield, Sucro, David Browning, Dylan Dekker, Gabriel Wingerak, Hayden Dolley, Levi Toye, Matthew MacDonald, Zack Denis, Parker Robertson, Rollin Sanderson, Manny Recchi, Ryan Petrie and Tyler Dhaliwal.

A pandemic threatened to pre-empt the 18-and-under B.C. Baseball College Prep League season and smoke from wildfires burning across the province sparked spotty scheduling. But damned if they didn’t play ball — and the Kamloops RiverDogs played ball well. The Dogs posted a 12-8 record in regular-season play to qualify for the provincial championship tournament, which ran from Friday to Monday in Burnaby. Kamloops recorded a 1-2 record in round-robin play to fall short of the semifinal round. “We gave it our all,” said Lochlan Scholefield, one of four graduating RiverDogs. The Vancouver Island Mariners thumped the Cloverdale Nationals 11-1 in the gold-medal game on Monday to claim the provincial title. The 2020 Prep League season was wiped out amid the COVID19 crisis and the 2021 campaign was often in jeopardy. “We were kind of playing with house money,” RiverDogs’ head coach Frank Ingram said. “It was a little bit wonky. You’re overcoming the COVID and the next half was the smoke, right?” Added Scholefield: “We kind of just played it by ear and hoped for the best a season was going to happen. It wasn’t guaranteed, at all.” Scholefield, Austin Coyle, Matt Coxon and Jared Sucro are the Dogs’ third-year graduating players and were part of the 2016 peewee AAA outfit that won two provincial titles

Brown, Dunstone see path to Olympics MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The postponed 2020 Summer Olympics ended on Sunday in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Games will begin in February in Beijing. Suddenly, the time is now for the Corryn Brown rink of Kamloops Curling Club and Matt Dunstone, the River City resident who skips a Reginabased team. “It’s definitely pretty crazy that the Olympics are only a few months away when the summer Olympics just ended,” said Brown, whose rink includes third Erin Pincott, second Dezaray Hawes, lead Sam Fisher and coach Allison MacInnes. “It’s pretty nuts to think about.” Curling Canada on Tuesday laid out the path to the Tim Hortons Curling Trials, which will run from Nov. 20 to Nov. 28 in Saskatoon and produce the
four-person men’s and women’s teams that will don the Maple Leaf in Beijing. Brown and Dunstone have received invitations to compete at the Canadian Curling Trials Direct-Entry Event, which will run from Sept. 22 to Sept. 26 in Ottawa in conjunction with the Canadian Curling Pre-Trials Direct-Entry Event. “It was very inspiring to watch our Canadian athletes do what they did in Tokyo and we want to be part of that, as well,” Dunstone said. The Trials Direct-Entry Event format has not been released, but Curling Canada notes the top three women’s teams and top two men’s teams will qualify for the Tim Hortons Curling Trials in Saskatoon. “We’ve planned accord-

ingly to make sure we can get as many events and training weekends as we can prior to make sure we’re bringing our best once we get there,” said Brown, whose rink will make its season debut next week at a cashspiel in Leduc, Alta. In Ottawa, the field on the women’s side will include Brown, Suzanne Birt (Charlottetown), Kelsey Rocque (Edmonton), Laura Walker (Edmonton) and Casey Scheidegger (Lethbridge, Alta.). Dunstone, Colton Flasch (Saskatoon), Jason Gunnlaugson (Winnipeg), Glenn Howard (Penetanguishene, Ont.) and Mike McEwen (Winnipeg) will compete on the men’s side. Trials Direct-Entry Event teams that do not qualify for the Tim Hortons Curling Trials in Ottawa will have a second chance at the Home Hardware Curling Pre-Trials, which will take place from Oct. 26 to Oct. 31 in Liverpool, N.S.

“It’s definitely interesting, to say the least,” Dunstone said. “It seems like everybody and their dog has a shot at the Olympic trials this year, just with all the other different events and formats. I’m not going to complain about anything, considering the season we had last year. It’s just nice to be playing again.” Brown and Dunstone won provincial titles in 2020 and were unable to defend their crowns in 2021, as B.C. and Saskatchewan cancelled provincial championship tournaments amid the pandemic. Both were selected by their respective provincial curling governing bodies to compete at the 2021 national championships, which were held inside the Calgary curling bubble earlier this year. Team Dunstone claimed its second consecutive bronze medal at the Brier. Team Brown, which placed sixth at the national Scotties in

2020 in Moose Jaw, posted a 4-4 record in round-robin action in Calgary to fall short of the Championship Pool. The major events held inside the Calgary curling bubble were preceded by a campaign ravaged by the pandemic. Brown’s season came to an abrupt halt on Nov. 12, 2020, and did not resume until the national championship began in February. Team members have fingers crossed for a return to relative normalcy in 2021-2022. “As far as I know, most of the events are a go and if they aren’t, it’s not necessarily due to COVID reasons in B.C.,” Brown said. The Kamloops Curling Club halted operations in September of 2020. BC Housing took over the building in October of 2020, using it as shelter space until its lease expired at the end of July. Ice could return to the KCC as early as Sept. 7, said club general manager Rob Nordin.

I recently went through the painful task of putting my dog down. In all honesty, the lead-up to the event, and the days that followed, were the worst, whereas the actual euthanasia itself was the moment I felt peace and relief. The drives to and from the vet were horrible. Vincent, my wiener dog, was 15.5 years old. He was an ornery jerk his whole life, but I loved him immensely. Not many people loved my dog. My husband and I got together when Vincent was four years old and my husband’s border collie, Dash, was five. Neither of us started dating each other with any pre-discussed requirements that we would have to like each others’ dogs. In those early days of dating, we needed to see if we liked each other first.
Over time, when it was evident we were planning a future together, we blended TARA our families and our dogs. Vincent HOLMES bullied Dash from that day on. We both Match Maker cried when each other made the difficult EXTRAORDINAIRE decision to let our dogs go. We grew to love each other’s dogs, but certainly not in the same way that we loved our own. I get a kick out of how many people put “Must Love Dogs” in their dating profiles. The word “must” sounds pretty demanding. Unless you are dating a veterinarian or a volunteer from the SPCA, there’s no guarantees. Some people may love animals, but be allergic. Some people may be afraid of dogs and you will need patience in that introduction. Rather than inviting your date for dinner and having your dog in a smaller indoor space, perhaps a walk with the pooch would be a nice start. In your profile, perhaps saying you like hiking with your dog, or that you love animals, is all that needs to be said. In time, if this is someone with whom you have great chemistry and get along
incredibly well, I am guessing your dog won’t be a dealbreaker. (Unless Rufus has to sleep with you, which I covered in a previous column.) I have a client who wasn’t fond of cats and met someone with a furry feline. After a few dates, they really hit it off and have made it work. He still doesn’t like cats, but he puts up with the feline as he really likes his partner. The cat is 16 years old, so it would be silly to think one would pass up on someone great based on an old cat that keeps to himself. Pets are a huge part of many people’s families. For some people, they are their family. The first few dates in getting to know someone doesn’t usually include family. It takes a while before meeting kids, parents, siblings, etc. So, forcing someone to kiss and hug your dog might be a bit too much to ask. If you are single, happy and have a dog, you are certainly in demand. Contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca.

Simakov rolls through Kamloops on climate mission MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Toronto resident Alex Simakov was asked why his fundraising bike ride for the Nature Conservancy of Canada stretches from Calgary to Vancouver, in areas threatened by wildfires. “I don’t think it’s going to get better,” said Simakov, whose childhood vacations often took place on the West Coast. “As you look toward the years ahead, all signs point to an escalation in wildfire intensity, an escalation of the heat waves and droughts. It might be one of the worst years we’ve had so far, but it might be one of the best we’re going to have for a long time.” Simakov, a 28-year-old energy consultant, was in Beaverdell (about an hour southeast of Kelowna on Highway 33) on Thursday, Aug. 5, on Day 9 of his 1,400-kilometre trek. His journey is a platform for him to trumpet views on climate resiliency, including investing in policies, institutions and physical infrastructure to improve the resilience of communities to withstand

extreme natural phenomena. “More immediate things to ensure communities withstand impacts,” Simakov said, noting the idea of cutting carbon emissions is too abstract to resonate with most Canadians. “The effects of climate change are happening now. Let’s start taking more decisive actions that are going to affect your family today and over the next generation.”
Simakov, who has raised more than $3,700, said the money is going toward rehabilitating stressed ecosystems and reconnecting isolated animal populations. “When we have sick forests or overdeveloped wetlands, those forests are more susceptible to forest fires and those wetlands are more susceptible to flooding,” he said. “If we can restore them to a balance,
with animals and flora and fauna that existed before human development, those become more vibrant and can absorb the shock [of climate-driven disasters], so our communities don’t have to.” Simakov said unnecessary political dichotomy is working against climatechange solutions. “You’re either a very progressive person and all-in on climate change and you’re woke or you’re on the other side of the equation, where you don’t identify with a lot of progressive causes and, therefore, to be in line with that identity, you have to deny it or minimize it in some capacity,” he said. Simakov, who passed through Kamloops on the weekend, said he has devoted his professional career to advancing Canada’s transition to a clean and sustainable energy future. “And while we’re making great strides towards decarbonizing our economy and achieving net zero by 2050, we need to confront the reality that climate change is already here and only getting worse,” Simakov said.

www.kamloopsthisweek.com 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. We want to “Keep Kamloops” active, creative, and engaged by supporting the organizations that do just that. Our vision is to foster a community that is resilient and supported through COVID-19 by residents who value the contributions that arts, culture, and recreation make to their quality of life and the livability of our community.
THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ORGANIZATION
KAMLOOPS SENIOR MEN’S BASEBALL LEAGUE:
#keepkamloopsactive
A PLACE FOR RECREATIONAL PLAYERS
T
eam sports are a wonderful way to stay in shape and have fun too. But when you can no longer play at the Minor or University levels, there can be few options for adults to keep up their game. The Kamloops Senior Men’s Baseball League saw a gap in offerings, so they decided to fill it! The league was founded in 2016. It features players of all skill levels, from those who haven’t held a baseball in two decades to those who have just recently left Semi-Professional competition. They’ve rostered over 70 players in 2021 and have expanded to five teams: Blue Bolts, Grey Jays, Orange Crush, Red Tigers and Gators. The Blue Bolts are the league’s defending champions.
The league ensures that quality umpires are available to officiate the games and organizes about a half dozen volunteers who help with the scoreboard, scorekeeping, data management and livestream broadcasting during gameplay. Rick Dewitt has been an active player in the Kamloops Senior Men’s Baseball League for four years. He is 33 years old and lives with FASD. A persistent competitor and eternal optimist, Rick is always striving to work on his fundamental skills and improve his baseball ability and knowledge. Rick wears #1 for the Grey Jays and was an active part of their championship season in 2019 (pictured centre, holding the Terry Trophy Cup with the team). Rick travelled with the Kamloops Grey Jays in
North Vancouver that September as he and the team competed in the first ever AA Men’s Provincial Championship. Says Rick: “My experience in the league has been amazing. I have learned a lot from all the guys and I have a blast!” During COVID-19, the Kamloops Senior Men’s Baseball League broadcast all games via livestream on Facebook so friends and family could watch games as there were no fans permitted in the stands. These livestream broadcasts will continue, making the games accessible to more people. Let’s Keep Kamloops active. You can catch live baseball action with the Kamloops Senior Men’s Baseball League at Norbrock Stadium all summer long! Check the schedule at www.kamloopsmensbaseball.ca.
Are you an arts, heritage or recreation organization that has made changes in response to COVID-19? We are looking for stories to share about charities and non-profit organizations that make our community special and are implementing new or innovative solutions to navigate this crisis. We also want to direct people to donate to your organization. Go to keepkamloops.ca to learn more.

BCLC seeks to make a positive impact for players and communities all across the province. We give back to B.C. through our business and through our people. Funds generated by gambling go back to the province to help support arts & culture, healthcare, education and community programs all across B.C. Employee volunteerism and fundraising efforts support organizations that make our community such a great place to live. Thanks to our players, $25 billion in net income has been delivered to the province to support communities, provincial programs and services, charities and major events that have helped shape B.C. since 1985.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Try to dig a little deeper and not take things at face value this week, Aries. Some surprising elements that you may not initially recognize are just waiting to be discovered.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 It’s good to have a rich fantasy life to envision plans for the future, Taurus. Some of these ideas may come to fruition this week as you dig down deep into your creative side.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Avoid jumping to the conclusion that a romantic partner is looking to move on, Gemini. There may be another underlying factor at play that will soon come to light.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
LIBRA
Some major news is the catalyst that ignites the flame for your motivation to change, Cancer. You may find you’re interested in volunteerism or another worthy project.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AUGUST 11 - AUGUST 17, 2021 - Sept 23/Oct 23
An intense phone call may put you on edge for a little while, Libra. But once you get to the heart of the matter and think things through, you can work it out.
SCORPIO
Enjoy time spent connecting with some new people this week, Leo. It is a fine time to branch out of your typical social circles and embrace new friendships with confidence.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
- Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, your desire to socialize will be stronger than ever, so get out there and make a new friend or two. You will enjoy sharing ideas with others and trying some new things.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
You gravitate toward people who prefer to see life through rosecolored glasses this week, Virgo. Enjoy this optimistic outlook and make the most of it.
Appreciate all of the good things you have going in your life now, Sagittarius. Pay homage to those who have lent a hand or offered support that went above and beyond.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 You may be on the brink of making a major move Capricorn. Try not to focus too much on all of the small details; look at the bigger picture.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 A short trip out of town might be necessary to clear your head, Aquarius. Schedule some time to get away so you can rest, relax and recharge free of distraction.
PISCES
- Feb 19/Mar 20
Take some time alone this week to reorder your priorities, Pisces. You may have made commitments that no longer are vital.

SUDOKU 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!

Each Loss
In Loving Memory
But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time.
GIVE The more you give, The more you get, The less you fret. The more you do unselfishly. The more you live abundantly.
I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.
the more you
The more you laugh,
Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.
Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.
Discover new job possibilities.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Vincent Petkevicius. Ed died in his home in Kamloops on June 30th at 68 years old. Ed is survived by his two children, son Nicholas and daughter Angela (his former spouse Ila Ruckle), Sister Elizabeth (Guiseppe) Bordignon, predeceased by Vincas Petkevicius and Laina Petkevicius (nee Lahdenpera). Edward was born in South Porcupine, Ontario and grew up in the surrounding region. As he grew so did his love for fishing and rock hounding, which would both prove to be lifelong passions. Ed moved to British Columbia in 1973, where he realized the depth of his love for backcountry skiing, fishing and hunting. For work, Ed found the mining industry to be rewarding. His work took him all over BC, South America, and East Asia. Ed made many friends in his travels around the globe, both in business and pleasure. He eventually settled back in Kamloops to be close to his children. We are very grateful for the many wonderful moments together. We also value the support network of friends Ed collected over the years. We find comfort in knowing he is on his next great adventure! Hopefully the fishing is good. A celebration of Ed’s life will be held for family and close friends at a later date. Condolences may be sent to family via drakecremation.com

A Vanished Friend
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend! by Anders Lim

Rowna Ann Weys 1932 - 2021
Rowna Ann Weys of Kamloops passed away on August 4, 2021 at the Kamloops Hospice. It was fitting that she spent her last few weeks at the hospice because Rowna was a lifetime honorary member of the Hospice Society. Long before there was a physical building, Mom was an ardent supporter. She facilitated grief support groups, did grief counselling and volunteered for fundraising activities. It was a great comfort to her to be so lovingly cared for in her final days. Rowna was born in Kamloops on November 2, 1932 to Ina and John McMillan, one of seven children. Rowna is survived by 6 of her 9 children: Dianne Weddell (Michael), Denice Weys, Paul Weys (Kristina), Janice Weys, Carol Weys and Peter Weys, 15 grandchildren and 15 greatgrandchildren. Mom is also survived by one brother and many cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Fred Weys, daughters Ina Joyce Weys, Gale Ann Weys, Monica Jean Weys and grandson Ryan Fredrick Weys. She lived in Kamloops all her life. She worked at the Tranquille Sanatorium and again when it was a residence for people with disabilities. Later she was a support worker for the school district. Family was immensely important to mom and she was at her happiest when she got to meet a new grandchild or great-grandchild. She even had a sign that said, “If I’d known grandchildren were so much fun, I’d have had them first”. We have fond memories of Sundays spent in Riverside Park or picnicking by the river; always staying until after dark. Many adventures were had while travelling in the camper dad built. Mom loved to gather her family together for dinners or an evening of cards and games. Mom and Dad were avid bridge players and enjoyed Monday Night Duplicate bridge games and travelling to tournaments together. As per mom’s wishes, no formal ceremony will be held. A family gathering will be held to remember Rowna, share memories and celebrate her life. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 or online at www.kamloopshospice.com
We love you mom and will miss you. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

He leaves behind his loving wife of 65 years Louise, daughters Diana Wren (Bob) and Christina (Morgan), Grandchildren Regan Swallow (Kristen), Ella and Tessa Emes. Predeceased by parents Leander and Alice Oakes, 3 year old daughter Sandra and two younger brothers Bill Oakes (Audry) and Lloyd Oakes (Ruth). Stan was born in Kelowna and lived in Rutland in a two room house on a small farm for the first 12 years of his life. The family moved to Vancouver in 1942 so his dad could work at the Dominion Bridge Gun Plant. Stan attended Vancouver Tech and his first job was at Vancouver City Hall. He had many careers over the years. It was while working at Orange Crush in 1953 he met the love of his life, Louise Kingston. They married in 1956. A few of his other jobs were Woodward’s Dept. Store, BC Liquor Store, Sterling Shipyard as Marine Electrician. After moving to Kamloops in 1959 Stan worked with his Father-In-Law to set up O.K. Rental (now Jasco). With his electrical experience he was soon wiring houses in and around Kamloops. While in Kamloops, he earned his private pilots license. Stan had his first airplane ride in Kelowna at the age of 6 in an open cockpit. Jenny and he never lost his love of flying. He eventually owned shares in a small plane, based at the Ashcroft Strip. In 1968 the family moved to Cache Creek, when Stan was hired as Maintenance Electrician for the South Cariboo School District. He remained there for 26 years and never missed a days work! He was well known throughout the District for his good nature and “joke of the day”. Stan enjoyed many hobbies: Photography, guitar playing, travelling, camping and Xcountry skiing (some of these included a beer or good Scotch with friends). All of these activities could explain why it took almost 30 years to complete the building of the family home at 16 Mile. A family graveside service will be held at a later date. The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to Navy Sahota and all the staff at Pine Grove Care for the love and care Stan received.

In his retirement years, Dave stayed very active. He enjoyed playing tennis, gardening, cross country skiing, golfing and curling. He listened to Big Band music from the 40’s and loved to sing. Because of this, Dave joined the Happy Choristers and even went on a couple of tours with them. He credited his long life to cooking and eating good food. He was also often heard saying “I got to keep moving!”. For a person his age, he knew how to navigate computers well. Dave “Googled” everything-recipes, spelling and medicines (he had to know what he was taking and all the side effects). When it was time to get his medical driving exam he Googled the eye chart and memorized it. Dave was born in the same year White Spot Restaurant started and without a doubt he would say “Just Google it”, if you want to know. Dave was predeceased by the two great loves of his life, Irene Buckingham in 1994 and Bea Giles in 2012. He was also predeceased by his son Greg in 2009. Dave is survived by his daughter Diane Pausche, son David Buckingham, daughter-in-law Loretta Buckingham, grandchildren Jeanette (Christian) Espanola, Christine (Kevin) Ferrigan, Kevin (June) Pausche and his great-granddaughters Kayla, Amelia, Naomi and Kimiko. We will be celebrating Dave’s life and birthday on Sunday, August 29th, 2021 at 2:00pm at Hillside Cemetery. Family and friends are welcome to join. The family would like to thank the staff at Chartwell for the care and support they provided Dave. Thank you to the doctors and nurses in the emergency room, as well as Jen on 6 North for showing such compassion to him and his family in his last few days. Lastly, a big thank you to Dr. Peter Loland (and Sherri) for all of the care and kindness you gave Dave over the last several years.

I know that no matter what You will always be with me. When life separates us I’ll know it is only your soul Saying goodbye to your body But your spirit will be with me always. When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branch I will know it is you singing to me. When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely I will know it is you assuring me you are free from pain. When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention I will know it is you reminding me To appreciate the simple things in life. When the sun shining through my window awakens me I will feel the warmth of your love. When I hear the rain pitter patter against my window sill I will hear your words of wisdom And will remember what you taught me so well’ That without rain trees cannot grow Without rain flowers cannot bloom Without life’s challenges I cannot grow strong. When I look out to the sea I will think of your endless love for your family. When I think of mountains, their majesty and magnificence I will think of your courage for your country. No matter where I am Your spirit will be beside me For I know that no matter what You will always be with me. by Tram-Tiara T. Von Reichenbach
We are heartbroken to announce John’s passing on July 12, 2021. John is survived by “Mom” Carole, siblings Robin, Cathy (Darrell) and Heather, Nancy (Dale), Guy (Lory-Lyn) and Bret (Monique). He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as many lifelong friends who grieve his untimely passing. John was predeceased by his beloved Chamberlin, in 2017 and Ben Purnell, in 2019.
parents,
Linnie
At a very early age, John was fascinated with the boats owned over the years at the family cottage at Sylvan Lake, AB. He would sneak into the boat in the “wee hours” so that anyone taking it out that morning would have to include him in the ride! Mooring the boat offshore only worked for a short period of time until John realized he could wade or swim out to the boat. After graduating from high school it was John’s destiny to complete his Small Engine Mechanics certification at SAIT. John then completed his Marine Mechanics Certificate at the Fairview College. After working in the Marine industry for 7 years, John established his highly successful business, Action Marine, which opened in 1994 and serviced boat owners from Alberta to Jamaica for 10 years. John’s dream to have a lake cottage also became a reality when he, along with family purchased a cabin at Pigeon Lake - Linnie’s childhood stomping grounds. Many years of amazing get-togethers with family and friends will forever be remembered boating, water-skiing, snowmobiling and John’s favourite - large bonfires! John’s love of water also lured him to scuba diving where he traveled to Mexico and several trips to Victoria, BC to spend time underwater. John, was an extremely brilliant, compassionate, affectionate and comical human being. His optimistic and encouraging outlook were beyond amazing considering what he has endured. His work ethic and life perspective gave him the means to get through the “hoops and hurdles”. As a young entrepreneur, Dad had a small sign in his office that read “When you are up to your ass in alligators it’s difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp”
When John started Action Marine, Dad handed the sign off to John. The sign is a testament to both of their personalities and of their perseverance. It’s also a sign of their remarkable ability to make you burst with laughter at their incredibly witty and perceptive way of viewing life. It is without a doubt, that the world had a “one in a million” in John. John, you left this earth far too early for all of us to let you go. We are and will be heartbroken and then we’ll remember your words, passed down from Dad “hoops and hurdles”. We’ll “knock them down, one at time”. Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life for John in Kamloops on Sunday August 22 from 2:00 - 5:00 pm at the Yacht Club. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
Because I Love You So Time will not dim the face I love, The voice I heard each day, The many things you did for me, In your own special way. All my life I’ll miss you, As the years come and go, But in my heart I’ll keep you, Because I love you so. -Anonymous

William Arnold MacGillivray January 03, 1946 - July 07, 2021
We are sad to announce the passing of our dear mother, Beverly Doreen Evans who passed peacefully at 94 on July 11, 2021, at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops, BC. She was predeceased by her husband Philip earlier this year in March, her parents (John and Eva White), and sisters June (Thompson) and Helen (Ross). She is survived by her seven children Donna (Harry) Smith, Brent Evans, Greg (Hope) Johnson, Sandra (Bob) Vollo, Jeffrey (Linda) Johnson, Michelle (Kent) Evans, Tammy Franzman and numerous nieces and nephews and the many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who enriched her life.
Born January 03, 1946, Antigonish, Nova Scotia.We are very sad to announce the passing of William (Bill) Arnold MacGillivray. Bill passed in his home from a sudden cardiac event on July 07, 2021, at the young age of 75.
Beverly was born in Mt. Lehman on the family farm in 1926. She was the middle of 3 girls born to John and Eva White. Predeceased by her mother at an early age, she was raised, along with her siblings, by her father who gave her guidance and mentorship through her early years. She spent some time in Vancouver where she gained an education in bookkeeping and office administrative skills. Beverly was married to Lawrence Johnson in 1948 and gave birth to her two sons, Gregory and Jeffery. She worked hard in her early years raising her boys until she finally met Phillip Evans; the man who would take her life in the direction of adventure, excitement, fun and true love; the kind of love that makes you wonder how they do it. With over 40 years of dancing, golfing and travelling together all-over western Canada and the US in their travel trailers, fishing and camping with life-long friends Phil and Bev set an example of how great a relationship can be, “Look at Us! (Vince Gill)”
Bill met Shirley Benjamin on Texada Island in 1965, and they were soon married, and started a family. Shirley was Bill’s partner for the next 25 years. Bill and Shirley moved to Vancouver in 1966, where Bill worked at The Vancouver General Hospital. While working at the VGH, Bill took the Workers’ Industrial Education First Aid Course and attained a Class Three which allowed him to work at isolated industrial locations. He moved his family back to Texada Mines but this time as an Industrial First Aid Man and Warehouseman Trainee. As the Texada mines started to close operations, Bill moved his wife and only son at the time, Ken, up to Kamloops in 1973, and took a position at an expanding Weyerhaeuser Canada Pulpmill, as a First-Aid man and Warehouseman. Bill’s second son, Kevin, was born in Kamloops. Bill remained with Weyerhaeuser until his retirement in 2006, after 33 years.
A mother, wife, grandmother and aunt, Bev was a strong and very witty girl. She always had a smart response to any sideways comments thrown at her. She was funny and always easy to talk to. She was a great listener and could offer up advice without being critical. Her love for her many grandchildren was evident in the many pictures she had of them throughout her home (and travel trailer wherever she went). She had a natural love for animals and plants treating both like people resulting in loyal pets and wholesome plants in her house and gardens. “Bev” will be missed by her family and many friends in both Kamloops/Kelowna, and the Lower Mainland where her sisters’ children reside. The family would like to express our gratitude for the outpouring of love and support for our mother over the past years. To the many friends and family members who came to see her in her last days. She was grateful for the visits. To Dr. (Chip) Bantock for his excellent accommodating and humorous bedside manor. To Steve and Melodie Vickers for the love and care they gave to mom over the many years they spent beside Mom and Dad and to the Kamloops Hospice Society whose amazing ability to provide such personal care and affection for mom in her final days. You are truly a special entity that we will be ever grateful for. A Celebration of Life is planned for Beverly and Philip on Sunday, September 2, 2021 at 2:00 pm at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club. Any donations can be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com
Bill was pre-deceased by his father Colin, and his mother Margaret (O’Leary). Bill was a very well liked member of the Kamloops community and the Weyerhaeuser family. Bill left home at a young age, not finishing his high school education but education was always his friend. With adventure and the ‘West’ calling, Bill left Nova Scotia in 1962, and jumped the rails with a buddy and they ended up in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario where he got a job as an Orderly at The Sault Hospital. The Sault was starting a program of training from within and Bill enrolled in their first Respiratory Therapy Course. The next year he was part of the graduation class. But adventure still called and Bill headed further West to join his brother at Texada Mines in Gillies Bay, B.C. Bill arrived in British Columbia in the summer of 1964, and followed his older brother Gerald to Texada Island for employment.
On Texada, in his early career, Bill coached Little League Softball and played on the men’s Texada Mines Softball Team, he taught First Aid to youth, and was an active Union member. In Kamloops, hockey occupied his time where his two sons played on the Kamloops Minor Hockey League Rep. teams. The family travelled with the team during winters and in summer it was following his sons’ Rep Soccer Teams that filled his days. Bill was an active Union Member with the Pulp & Paper Workers of Canada, an activist in local politics working on many City, Provincial, and Federal campaigns. He cared and was committed to Workers’ Rights and always had a dollar for the down and out. Bill is survived by his six siblings: Harold in Calgary (sons Shawn, Craig and Scott), Evelyn in Antigonish (son Arnold), Gerald (Rose) in Surrey (sons Brian and Bill Junior), Colleen in Antigonish (daughter DonnaMarie), Ronald in Kamloops (daughters Katherine and Jennifer), and Micheal in Barrie. Bill also has cousins and second cousins sprinkled all over Canada, but especially in the western provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Bill has two sons, Ken, and Kevin (Shaunagh) and 5 grandchildren, Megan, Landon, Callah, Griffin, and Felix, and one great-grandchild, Mara. Bill was extremely proud of the accomplishments of his sons and his grandchildren. Bill was very close to his ex-wife’s family, the Benjamins, and referred to his mother-in-law (Emma) and father in-law (Art) as Mom and Dad. Bill was also very close with his ex-wife’s siblings and travelled on many family holidays and to many family reunions with the Benjamin clan, Wayne, Dianne, and Beverly Anne. Bill was very close to his siblings and frequently spoke with his brothers and sisters, or travelled to visit them. A large hockey family, including Bill’s father Colin, Bill spent the majority of his Boxing day holidays in hockey arenas around the province with family and friends watching and cheering MacGillivray’s playing on hockey teams. Bill regularly travelled to Surrey to see his brother Gerald, or Calgary to see his brother Harold, and once every 5 years Bill drove to Nova Scotia for the summer. Bill’s last trip to the Maritimes, was May 2016 in his Buick 5th Avenue. Bill was due to go again and had plans to fly this summer, after a long COVID year. Bill had number of very positive and strong personal relationship with many persons over the these people know who they are. In addition, Bill was a well respected member of the Kamloops and the Weyerhaeuser fraternity. In the past number of years, Bill was supported by weekly various members of his Weyerhaeuser brothers. Thank you to all of those good unionized supported Dad in his last few years.
years, and community visits from men who
Bill loved to watch the stock market and politics. Bill was retired from Weyerhaeuser for 15 years, and he spent many days at the Kamloops Casino talking to old friends. Highlights for Bill were seeing the New Democratic Party win a majority government provincially in 2020, and watching Barack Obama lead the United States for 8 years. A very special thanks goes to Dr. Harold Stefanyk for his kind, patient, and understanding care of our father over the past 30 years. Bill was pre-deceased by many of his brothers and sisters that he worked with for 33 years at Weyerhaeuser. We know he had many good friends that he cared for at ‘the mill’. Now Bill is up high with his parents, family, and his old friends at peace. A Celebration of Life memorial service is planned for Bill at the Pulp Paper and Wood Workers Union hall at 427 Lansdowne Avenue, on Saturday, October 09, 2021 from 2 pm to 4 pm. Out of respect for the Elderly participants, we request that only vaccinated persons attend.
