The Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP) outlines eight Big Moves to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase our resilience to climate change impacts by targeting emissions reductions of 30% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Each week in September and October, one Big Move will be highlighted.

This Big Move outlines how the City can take the lead in shifting to zero-carbon facilities and fleets and is supported by integrating climate considerations into planning and decisionmaking processes.

What is the City currently doing to support this Big Move?

The City is shifting to electric and hybrid fleet vehicles, undertaking energy efficiency building retrofits such as at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, and collaborating with TRU to research climate governance best practices.

A Kamloops man found dead on Oct. 1, off Mission Flats Road and along the shoreline of the Thompson River, was one of three people charged with robbing a downtown auto parts shop two months earlier.

Kamloops firefighters discovered the body of Adam Hibbert, 29, near the entrance to the City of Kamloops landfill while responding to a suspicious fire in the area.

RCMP officers were called in at about 4:15 p.m. and, at the time, were unable to identify the deceased, but have since confirmed his identity and that he was the victim of a homicide.

Police have not disclosed the manner in which he died.

Kamloops RCMP confirmed Hibbert was one of three people arrested and later charged in connection with the Aug. 3 robbery of Lordco Auto Parts east of downtown, which was followed by a van used in the robbery being set ablaze in Riverside Park.

Along with Hibbert, a man and woman were also charged in connection with the robbery: Tristan Fernandez, 25, and Dakota McNabb, 26.

According to a Lordco employee who witnessed the holdup and spoke with KTW, two armed and masked people entered the building at 1395 Battle St. on Aug. 3, while a third person waited outside. The two robbers made off with a purse and a cellphone, both of which were later retrieved.

Kamloops Mounties received a description of the getaway vehicle, a blue van, which had been reported as stolen.

The van was found on fire in Riverside Park downtown shortly after

Adam Hibbert (right) was one of three people charged in connection with the Aug. 3 robbery of a Lordco store that also included the torching of a blue van (left) in Riverside Park. Hibbert, now deceased, was charged alongside Tristan Fernandez and Dakota McNabb.

RCMP PHOTOS

the robbery and three people were arrested — two suspects were found near the park’s washrooms and a third suspect was arrested near Overlanders Bridge.

All three were released shortly thereafter, with charges against the trio not approved by Crown until Oct. 1.

Asked if police suspect Hibbert’s death to be connected to criminal activity in the city, Const. Crystal Evelyn told KTW all motives related to his homicide are still under investigation.

Hibbert had a lengthy criminal record dating back to 2010, with offences such as break and enter, uttering threats, assault, possession of stolen property and assaulting a peace officer with a weapon.

Fernandez was re-arrested on Oct. 4 on a warrant for the robbery, as the charges were sworn only three days earlier. At the time of his death, Hibbert

was also wanted on a warrant for the robbery.

Fernandez was arrested following a two-hour standoff with police at Canada’s Best Value Inn and Suites (formerly the Acadian Inn) at 1390 Columbia St., east of downtown, when an officer spotted him in the area that morning.

Police, who had guns drawn, surrounded the motel, evacuating from the motel and adjacent diner some residents and customers.

Fernandez has a lengthy criminal record and has been arrested numerous times in the past decade for various offences.

According to court documents, Fernandez remains in custody. McNabb, who has few prior criminal convictions, is not in custody.

Both Fernandez and McNabb were scheduled to appear in court this past Monday to consult with their lawyers.

DEVASTATI INTERNATIONAL TEN

City of Kamloops sets out its vaccination policy

What global catastroph

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city will require proof of vaccination from its employees, contractors and volunteers.

In a release issued on Tuesday afternoon, right at KTW’s press deadline, the city said it would require the proof of

vaccination by Dec. 15 and a policy outlining “potential options” if that timeline is not met will be available by the end of October.

The city did note that BC Human Rights Code accommodations would be made for employees unable to be vaccinated for reasons that are protected by that code.

The decision to require proof

of vaccination comes in the wake of federal and provincial workers required to be vaccinated and the City of Vancouver requiring vaccination of its employees, an announcement that came on Monday.

It is unclear if city council will be required to be vaccinated, as that was not addressed in the press release and the answer

could not be obtained before press time.

City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin previously told KTW the municipality had been in contact with other cities, discussing what they are doing and what such a policy would look like.

Vaccination mandates are becoming common in many sectors.

DEV DEVASTATING Pfizer asks for approval of vaccine forINTERNATIO kids PAND KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

With the approval of a COVID-19 vaccine for younger children on the horizon, just over half of Canadian parents surveyed by Angus Reid say they would immediately vaccinate their own kids against the virus.

Of 812 parents surveyed, 51 per cent said that they would immediately vaccinate their five- to 11-year-old children against the virus, while 18 per cent said

they would do it eventually.

A total of 23 per cent of parents surveyed said they would not vaccinate their kids, while nine per cent said they were not sure.

On Monday, Pfizer officially asked Health Canada to approve its COVID-19 vaccine for kids ages five to 11.

B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has urged parents to register their kids in the online Get Vaccinated system, saying shots could be in arms as

Health-care shortages impacting rural towns

743 VICTORIA ST • 250-377-8808

AS A RESULT, RESIDENTS ARE LOSING LOCAL CARE AND BEING FORCED TO TRAVEL TO KAMLOOPS JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Health-care worker shortages in rural Interior communities are leaving those residents without local emergency care and may be placing further strain on Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, which is facing its own pressures.

“Basically, the B.C. government has to step in,” Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell said, telling KTW the province needs to bring staff out of retirement, provide better supports and pay or attract workers from neighbouring Alberta.

“The health authorities have had probably way too much say in their own direction and I think this needs a provincewide direction to handle this,” Blackwell said.

The emergency room at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwater was closed for the past two weekends. Blackwell said it closed due to a perfect storm, including COVID-19 stress, burnout, housing availability and more, but largely comes down to the loss of health-care workers and inability to attract new ones.

Needed is the equivalent of four or five full-time staff, including nurses and lab techs.

As a result of the ER closure, Blackwell was forced to warn residents against embarking in risky activity, noting the hospital in Clearwater is the only ER between Kamloops and Jasper.

“So, all that highway, all that construction project, all that winter weather, fall winter weather of ice that’s coming on, all those people get fed to us if they don’t get taken straight away by air ambulance to Kamloops or road ambulance,” Blackwell said.

“Right now, we’re at pretty high risk. What it says for the community here locally — we service about 5,500, 6,000 people in our section of the valley, from Blue River to Little Fort is sort of our catchment for regular medical — don’t do anything dangerous. Don’t do anything risky. If you’re feeling ill, get ready to drive yourself to Kamloops. We’ve had some issues with ambulance staffing here, too.”

Blackwell said ER closures are expected to be ongoing and keep health-care administrators up at night because, when the ER is closed, it is a minimum 90-minute drive to Kamloops.

Meanwhile, the emergency department at RIH has faced its own staffing challenges and, upon arrival, there is no guarantee the wait won’t continue.

Asked what she has

heard about the experience of residents who travel to Kamloops for emergency care, Ashcroft Mayor Barbara Roden said: “Long waits. Obviously, they triage there. You could be there a long time.”

Ashcroft Hospital and Community Health Care Centre’s emergency department has been closed on six weekends since Aug. 13, also due to staffing shortages. Roden said vaccine clinics over the summer required nurses to administer shots on top of regular duties and they are burned out.

Meanwhile, vacancies in larger communities like Kamloops further exacerbate the problem for rural communities.

Additional nursing spaces in post-secondary institutions are needed, Roden said, noting it is easier to train rural residents who want to be nurses than it is to recruit nurses from places like North Vancouver, Surrey or Kelowna.

Roden said the issue with ER closures is consistency. Notice can be short and some don’t get the message. Roden said one idea is shifting from 24-hour emergency care in Ashcroft to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily care.

“I don’t think we can have a 24-seven emergency department here,” Roden said. “If we can’t have that, what’s the next best thing?”

Furthermore, when emergency rooms close in rural communities, it leads to spinoff at Royal Inland Hospital — the largest hospital in the area.

“If the emergency department is closed here in Ashcroft, and it would normally see, say, a dozen people, now those dozen people are going to Royal Inland and so are people from Clearwater,” Roden said.

“That’s putting a lot more strain on that emergency department, which leads to longer waits.”

Blackwell said the healthcare worker shortage is not just a Clearwater or Ashcroft problem. He said Interior Health indicated to him in the spring the same shortages have been felt in Lillooet, Clinton, 100 Mile House, Chase and Lytton, prior to the June 30 fire.

“We’re just the pimples that have come to the surface first,” he said.

KTW is awaiting a return call from Interior Health as to what it is doing to fill gaps in health-care services in rural communities in the region, including Clearwater and Ashcroft, what spinoff impacts are being felt on Royal Inland Hospital and what it is doing to attract health-care workers to rural communities, as well as Kamloops.

Securing a roof over each resident’s head THE NEED FOR HOUSING IN KAMLOOPS IS A CONTINUUM THAT SPANS MANY AREAS

H

omelessness is a critical and growing problem in Kamloops.

Many ask, “Whose problem is it?” The answer is that it is everyone’s problem and to ignore it simply makes it worse.

I often hear that we should just send the homeless home.

The fact is that the last known address for most of the homeless in our city was a Kamloops address.

I often hear that we are just attracting this population to Kamloops when we provide services. The reality is that this is a national, provincial, regional and largely urban problem.

In our region alone, the point in time counts have shown an alarming and sharp increase in homelessness; 114 in Penticton, 297 in Kelowna, 224 in Vernon, and 206 here in Kamloops.

Yet Kamloops lags in the provision of shelter space, with 63 per cent sheltered in Penticton, 74 per cent in Kelowna, 53 per cent in Vernon and 58 per cent here in Kamloops.

That means literally hundreds of people living in the Thompson-Okanagan face the prospect of living rough and camping outside this winter.

We can and must do better.

The root causes of homelessness are complex and varied, but nearly all can be traced back to

KEN CHRISTIAN View From

CITY HALL the social determinants of health and a calamity of life events that lead to poverty and eviction.

Forty years ago, when homeless numbers were low, faith-based groups and service organizations filled the void and people were sheltered and cared for.

As the numbers grew and the co-morbidities of addiction, acquired brain injury and chronic untreated mental illness complicated the needs of these citizens, compassion fatigue increased and the solutions shifted from community-based to government-based.

As a city, we are doing our part. Many don’t like that, but in a civil society, we view that as our moral and social responsibility. We have sought partnerships with BC Housing, social agencies and anti-poverty advocates to provide small neighbourhood solutions, as opposed

to large, collective shelters.

We have worked to avoid tent encampments with which many other cities have struggled. Most importantly, we have lobbied for addiction wraparound services that will support those experiencing homelessness on their journey back to a place where they can regain all they have lost.

People don’t choose to sleep on our streets in the rain and cold. They find themselves with no other options and, as a council, we accept our role in helping them on their journey home.

We currently assist in housing on several fronts — often as land partners and occasionally as a landlord.

We don’t operate housing,

nor are we solely responsible for many of the neighbours’ concerns we so often hear about.

The need for housing is a continuum. At one end are emergency, temporary or seasonal shelters and on the other end are affordable and attainable entry-level homes for young families.

We often think of housing needs based upon our own personal experiences, mostly from owner-occupied, single-family, taxpaying residences. That is no longer the norm.

The continuum includes supportive housing, complex-care facilities, long-term care, group homes, homes for women and children fleeing relationship violence, treatment facilities,

student housing, market rental housing, income-adjusted subsidized housing, seniors’ housing, and culturally specific housing.

Generally speaking, we need more in virtually every category and myself and council are working, across the continuum, to help secure a roof over the heads of all our citizens.

We believe it is the right thing to do.

We all know that, with the ongoing pandemic and the most inappropriate, inadequate and inefficient implementation of a paperless charting system at RIH, many senior nurses have left the health region and moved to greener pastures or changed professional orientation due to burnout.

Now a very busy ER is regularly manned by half the usual nursing staff. What has been done to address this acute shortage?

In the light of this, it is not at all surprising that baby Conor was kept waiting while his life seeped away.

Of course, the pressure falls on those nurses and doctors who have been working non-stop to fill in the gaps. This is the recipe for disaster, paved with perfect intentions.

Our ER doctors tried their best with whatever means they could muster to save baby Conor.

The wait for an air ambulance to transport baby Conor to Vancouver raises many questions, too.

Why can’t we provide Vancouver-level tertiary care at Royal Inland Hospital in all specialities, including tertiary cardiac care for newborns and babies?

There are ongoing expansions to the hospital. Now is the time to act and provide what the community needs, not for political gimmicking.

Kamloopsians have been at the receiving end of politicians’ prejudice for too long.

What if we could have provided the necessary care to Conor locally?

We cannot comment on the outcome, but at least he would have received the best possible care locally. And the best possible care is what we want from Interior Health. Sadly, we have not been getting it in all specialties.

An audit of air ambulance transfers of critically ill patients to Kelowna and to the Lower Mainland will expose the pitfalls and the enormous cost of such a desperately heroic strategy. Millions of taxpayer dollars are spent annually on this — and millions of dollars will be saved if we develop the needed tertiary care for our very sick patients locally.

My hope is that my call does not fall on deaf ears, as it has too often. We can no longer be second-best when we pay the same tax dollars to the government.

We demand needed tertiary-level care in all specialities. We demand a neonatal ICU with advanced cardiac life support so our newborns and babies don’t die awaiting transfer.

Enough is enough is enough.

More deaths connected to Overlander outbreak AS OF MONDAY, THERE HAVE BEEN FIVE COVID-19 DEATHS AND 28 CASES MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

More deaths from COVID-19 continue to be reported from the Overlander Residential Care facility in Brocklehurst, bringing to five the number of deaths connected to the ongoing outbreak.

Interior Health reported two more people have died from the disease as an ongoing outbreak has now infected 28 people — 21 residents and seven staff members — according to an email update issued late in the afternoon on Friday, Oct.15.

It’s not clear from the release if those who have died from the virus

are all residents.

The two deaths come about a week after a third person reportedly died from COVID19 at the facility. As of Oct. 14, there had been three deaths connected to the outbreak, which was declared by Interior Health on Sept. 19, when four cases where discovered.

There has been just one new case of COVID-19 detected at Overlander since Oct. 13 and two cases detected since Oct. 7, according to the health authority.

Outbreaks are generally declared over after 28 days without a new case.

• Outbreaks at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops Seniors Village and The Hamlets at Westyde have been declared over by Interior Health.

Treatment, recovery plans released TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

Emphasizing that more people in B.C. are dying from street drug overdoses than from COVID-19, the provincial government is detailing the treatment and recovery care being added from a threeyear, $132-million budget commitment made this past spring.

Mental Health and Addictions Minister Sheila Malcolmson said all areas of the province will see expanded services, with 195 new adult substance-use treatment beds in addition to the 100 adult and 123 youth beds that exist today.

Services include a new sober-

ing and assessment centre in Prince George, new outpatient withdrawal management services throughout the Interior and new regional residential treatment beds to support women in the Island Health and Interior Health regions.

Dr. Patricia Daly, chief medical health officer at Vancouver Coastal Health, said the COVID-19 pandemic has led more people to abuse alcohol and other drugs.

More people are dying from overdoses than from COVID-19 and their average age is 41.

“This is an emergency that’s killing people in the prime of their lives,” Daly said, adding that the goal is to deliver “compassionate

and respectful care” to as many people as can be reached.

In April 2016, the provincial government declared a public health emergency due to the opioid overdose crisis.

Malcolmson said details are being worked out with health authorities, but the service expansion will include: • 20 new youth beds at the Traverse treatment centre in Chilliwack; • extension of Indigenous-led alcohol treatment and recovery in Port Hardy; • new vocational and occupational therapists for Fraser Health’s adult day, evening and weekend employment services.

7 Year-End Planning Tips It is hard to believe we are just over 2 months away from the end of 2021. As such, we like to remind investors there are some time sensitive financial tips to consider before we bid 2021 farewell.

•

• 1) Charitable Giving While charities require year-round generosity, the need always seems to be more prevalent around the holidays.

With the ongoing pandemic, charities require help more than ever.

• Presently in B.C., all donations in excess of $200 qualify for a combined Federal and B.C. non-refundable tax credit up to approximately 50%. In short, you get more of a tax break the more you give.

• Donate profitable investments "in-kind". Usually when you sell a security, you’re required to pay tax on 50% of the capital gain, but if you transfer that same security directly to a charity, there will be no tax on the capital gain. You will get a donation credit for the full value, plus save paying taxes on the capital gain!

2) Tax Loss Selling Not all investments pan out. Consider selling an underperforming investment and use its loss to offset other gains, thereby lowering tax. A few quick points:

Eric Davis

Vice President & Portfolio Manager eric.davis@td.com 250-314-5120

Keith Davis

Associate Investment Advisor keith.davis@td.com 250-314-5124

•

Superficial Loss Rule: If you sell any investment at a loss, you must wait at least 30 days before buying it back in any family account otherwise the loss is denied for tax purposes.

All trades must settle before year-end, which is December 29, 2021.

Losses can be carried back three years on tax returns or carried forward indefinitely.

3) Top up Education Savings We believe that Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are great vehicles to save for kids and grandkids' education.

• The federal government provides a grant of 20% on annual contributions of up to $2,500 per child, and a lifetime limit of $7,200 per child. One could get $500 annually from the government.

• Generally, a subscriber can contribute up to December 31 in the year a child turns 17.

• You can also make up for missed years. You can make a maximum $5,000 RESP contribution in one year and receive a grant of $1,000.

• Check with Service Canada on limits at 1-888-276-3624 4) Income Harvesting If you are in a lower income tax bracket or have several tax credits available (e.g. medical expenses, age credits, dividends etc.), it may make sense to draw more income before year-end. This can be done by: • "Harvesting" capital gains from your portfolio -you could then use proceeds to top up your TFSA if room is available.

Withdrawing additional income from your Retirement Saving Plan (RSP) or Retirement Income Fund (RIF) • Drawing more income from your business

TD Wealth Private Investment Advice

5) Withdrawal from your Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) If you plan to use funds from your TFSA in 2022, consider drawing them out now. You are allowed to re-deposit funds the following calendar year after a withdrawal. In theory, you could replace funds early in 2022 by drawing them out now versus waiting another year if you withdraw in January.

6) Convert some of your RSP to RIF at age 65 If you are 65 or older and have no sources of eligible pension income (CPP and OAS are not considered eligible pensions), you can withdrawal $2,000 from a RIF tax-free by using the federal pension credit. Do so by electing a partial transfer of assets from RSP to RIF, leaving the rest in RSPs until you turn 71. RSP withdrawals do not qualify.

7) Contribute to a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) RDSPs are tax-deferred saving plans available to Canadian residents eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. Depending on the net income of the beneficiary's family, the government may contribute up to a maximum of $4,500 in grants and bonds per year of eligibility.

These are some considerations people can take advantage of before year-end. As always, please check with your tax professional before enacting any of the above strategies.

Until next time…

Invest Well. Live Well.

TOOTH PAIN AFTER A ROOT CANAL

Frustration and disappointment can ensue for people when a root canal does not solve the dental pain from a tooth. Up to 5 percent of people can have lingering pain up to six months in some cases.

The key is to diagnose the reason why pain lingers after root canal treatment: most often due to other non-root canal reasons.

MY LUNCH WITH HARRY

KTW photographer Allen Douglas recently came across Harry the Heron, who was pausing for lunch at his favourite diner, the McArthur Island slough. Harry knows the people of the North Shore neighbourhood so well that he doesn’t get spooked unless he sees someone he doesn’t recognize. Our intrepid photographer says that when he first arrived, Harry immediately flew away and, about 20 yards later, turned and flew right back to resume fishing. “Didn’t recognize me at first,” Douglas noted.

Full house at Blazers’ games?

AS OF NEXT WEEK, INDOOR EVENTS IN MOST OF B.C. WILL BE ALLOWED TO RUN AT FULL CAPACITY SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Events in B.C. can return to 100 per cent capacity after the province’s two-dose proof-of-vaccine requirement takes effect on Oct. 24.

The change applies to sports, concerts, movies, live performances and other events, such as weddings and funerals.

Locally, that should mean the Kamloops Blazers, Kamloops Storm, Kamloops Broncos and concerts and plays can have full houses, though it was unclear as of KTW press deadline whether regional restrictions will impact that.

Another coming change announced Tuesday will lift the requirement to remain seated at restaurants and pubs.

Indoor mask requirements remain in effect.

HEALTH-CARE VACCINATION DEADLINE LOOMS Meanwhile, Health Minister Adrian Dix provided updated vac-

cination numbers for health-care workers, who need to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 26.

Dix said about four per cent of the 129,924 health-care workers in B.C. are not vaccinated, while three per cent are partially vaccinated.

For Interior Health, Dix said seven per cent of health-care workers in the region are not vaccinated — the highest figure in the province. Northern Health has six per cent of workers not vaccinated, Island Health has five per cent, Vancouver Coastal Health has three per cent and Fraser Health has two per cent unvaccinated.

Dix said the numbers are similar to workers in assisted-living and long-term care facilities.

“So, we’re hopeful, of course, that people will move to get vaccinated to comply with the upcoming order,” Dix said.

SCHOOL CLUSTERS Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie also provided updated information on the virus’ presence in B.C. schools.

Case rates among school-aged

children have fallen since the end of September, but among those ages five to 11, rates are still higher than all other age groups.

Henry promised more in-depth information on school cases, some of which she presented on Tuesday during a COVID-19 briefing.

“These are always stressful situations and we know there is a lot of anxiety going back into school this year, and it’s important for us to provide this information as best we can so people know what is happening,” she said.

Most infections have origins outside of the classroom, Henry said, and tend to reflect the level of community transmission.

Henry said there have been 80 clusters in Interior Health schools in the first five weeks of this school year, with 314 cases linked to the clusters, or 28 per cent of all cases among Kindergarten to Grade 12 students.

A cluster, she said, is defined as two or more cases, and 46 Interior Health schools have seen clusters — about 12 per cent of all schools in the health region.

The Occlusion, which is “the bite” or the way a person closes their teeth.

A misaligned or high bite can increase the stress on a tooth crown leading to excessive pounding on the tooth. Then the tooth’s shock absorber, the periodontal ligament gets inflamed and painful. This periodontal ligament is alive and well and is not affected when the pulp of a tooth is removed by root canal treatment. The “PDL” fibres transmit forces to the bone that mimics tooth pain. A simple adjustment is all that may be needed.

Multiple Canals Mother nature has made teeth beautifully, especially molars. Multirooted teeth can have a complicated root canal system. Canals can be microscopic and very hard to find or can be calcified, leading to live/ necrotic pulp tissue that is not fully removed. There are also multiple “side canals” called accessory canals that can be impossible to reach as well. Things like perforations, irrigant irritation, filling material extrusion, and broken instruments are rare but possible as well.

Fracture Root fracture is a common source of pain, possibly years after root canal treatment and is difficult to diagnose; with 3D technology and microscopes, this can be easier, but not guaranteed. Isolated pockets, a history of sharp pain that progresses to a dull throbbing pain upon chewing are common signs of fracture. Risk factors include: the lower second molar (tooth most likely to fracture), clenching/bruxism, large silver restorations. A fractured root is impossible to save.

Periodontal The surroundings of the root can also be a source of pain, especially if there is a communicating perio and endo lesion. The tooth should be clinically examined and x-rays taken following root canal treatment to evaluate both the surrounding bone and gum tissues.

Non-odontogenic (non-dental) Many things can mask themselves as dental pain and have nothing to do with the tooth. Research suggests that 3–5 percent of tooth pain can be non-dental: TMD, maxillary sinusitis, cancers, cystic lesions can all mimic tooth pain. Pain syndromes from shingles, trigeminal neuralgia, idiopathic periodontalgia/odontalgia, and phantom tooth pain have also been reported to be psychogenic aspects of tooth pain that could persist after root canal treatment, as such, appropriate referral to a medical provider is suggested.

Make sure you visit your healthcare provider. If dental pain is not dealt with, it can be intense and painful.

National chief wants UN involved at Tk’emlúps MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Assembly of First Nations Kúkpi7 (Chief) RoseAnne Archibald said she wants all the children identified from unmarked graves at Tk’emlúps to be named and either physically or ceremonially returned to their home communities.

Archibald also called for an international special rapporteur appointed through the United Nations to impartially and properly investigate the unmarked site.

The Tk’emlups band has not yet excavated the site of the 200 probable graves discovered via a ground-penetrating radar survey, but has conducted what it described as “non-invasive” work to date.

“And these little ones here in Secwépemc territory are not the only ones,” Archibald said during the Oct. 18 visit to Tk’emlups by

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Archibald was alluding to other residential school sites in B.C. and Saskatchewan, where signs of unmarked graves were detected with GPR surveys over the summer.

Archibald said she will continue to call for accountability over the discovery of graves, arguing “someone must be charged for the deaths of our children.”

“There must be an examination to determine if some of our children were murdered,” Archibald said. “Canada must be held accountable for their genocidal laws and policies. Canada must not be allowed to investigate itself.”

Trudeau, who sat next to Archibald as she spoke, did not address her comment regarding the United Nations, nor were there any questions from reporters regarding it during the time allotted to media in attendance before the prime minister departed.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated his regret during a visit to Tk’emlúps on Monday, in an attempt to make amends for shirking an invitation to observe the first annual National Day of Truth and Reconciliation with the Tk’emlúps the Secwépemc band.

The day was marked with multiple speeches from dignitaries who called on Trudeau, in a face-to-face meeting in front of a crowd of people, for actions over words when it comes to reconciliation with First Nations.

“I am here today to say I wish I had been here a few weeks ago and I deeply regret it, but I am here today to take the hand extended,” Trudeau said.

The prime minister arrived at the Tk’emlúps Powwow Arbour at 11:30 a.m., emerging from a black van. He was met by media as he walked up to a table to address reporters alongside Tk’emlúps Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir.

Addressing reporters first, Casimir said Trudeau’s visit is “bittersweet,” noting she had hoped he would have been there

on Sept. 30, noting the band had sent two written invitations and gave the option of submitting a pre-recorded message, all to no avail.

Casimir said there was “shock” and “anger” amongst band members to learn Trudeau was instead vacationing in Tofino. She said Monday’s event was to “rectify a mistake.”

The prime minister spent about three hours at the arbour, twice taking questions from

media and also participating in a public ceremony.

He listened to speeches from a residential school survivor and intergenerational survivors, took in a hand drum and video presentation from Sk’elep School of Excellence students and heard from various Indigenous leaders who called on him for action.

Shuswap Nation Tribal Council Kúkpi7 Wayne Christian asked Trudeau to invite residential school survivors to meet

with his cabinet on reconciliation — a suggestion Trudeau did not address.

“You need to do the hard work and your cabinet needs to do the hard work,” Christian said.

Trudeau is expected to name his new cabinet next week following his re- election — heading a minority government — on Sept. 20.

In his own speeches to the crowd, Trudeau addressed his mistakes, the atrocities of the residential school system and the work ahead on reconciliation.

While he was scant on specifics, the prime minister did commit to working with First Nations on the tangible actions needed, specifically noting working on healing centres and elders lodges and committing resources to search for the locations of the remains of children from residential schools.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t here on Sept. 30. It was a mistake and I understand it made a very difficult day even harder. You didn’t have to invite me back. I know that. Thank you for doing so. I am honoured to be with you in this moment,” Trudeau said.

Earlier that morning, he spoke with residential school survivors and visited the site, just meters from the arbour,

where the band said in May it had found signs of 200 probable unmarked graves of children connected to the former Kamloops Indian Residential School through a ground-penetrating radar survey.

Casimir said it was “a longawaited moment” to have Trudeau visit the site and thanked him for doing so.

The two exchanged gifts before the end of the ceremony — Trudeau giving Casimir a drum with a hummingbird painted on it as a symbol of friendship and unconditional love.

“They naturally have the ability to soothe and heal and, despite their small size, have the ability to fly great distances, symbolizing endurance and perseverance,” Trudeau said.

“I can’t think of anything that symbolizes better the strength of this community and how we move forward together.”

Casimir reciprocated with a teddy bear, representing the missing Indigenous children, as well as a blanket for Trudeau’s son, who celebrated his 14th birthday on Monday.

“This is about our children, all of our children, and that is to show our gratitude having you with us today,” Casimir told Trudeau.

Trudeau: all government records given THE PRIME MINISTER SAID ALL CROWN DOCUMENTS RELATING TO RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE WITH THE NATIONAL CENTRE FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION IN WINNIPEG MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The federal government has already turned over all records it has pertaining to residential schools, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday during a visit to Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc.

Trudeau visited the community to make amends for vacationing in Tofino on Sept. 30, the first annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, rather than accept an invitation from the band to mark the occasion in its community.

The new federal holiday was enacted by Trudeau’s government on June 3, just days after the band announced it had found signs of probable unmarked graves on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School from a ground-penetrating radar survey

in May. Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir reiterated a call for the federal government to give the band unfettered access to student attendance records it has in its possession for the residential school.

Trudeau, however, said all documents the federal government has pertaining to the Kamloops institution and all other residential schools have already been turned over to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Winnipeg.

“We will continue to look to make sure there are no others that remain to turn over, but we have, to my understanding, turned over all of those records, including full or partial attendance records to the Kamloops Indian Residential School, dating back to the 1800s,

with, I think, only the first two years of the existence of the school, where we don’t have any records at all,” Trudeau said.

He said the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation Commission is “the central depository” for all those records and his government and First Nations leaders are working with the Catholic Church and other organizations to get them to turn over their residential school records.

Casimir said the documents are of critical importance in identifying missing children detected by the band’s search and a step toward reconciliation.

Elder Charlotte Manual offered tobacco and tearfully recounted her residential school experience during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit on Monday to Tk’emlúps.

NOTICE OF PRIVATE PRACTICE CLOSURE

Secwépemc healing centre being discussed JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government will be working with Tk’emlúps on “important issues.”

During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to Tk’emlúps on Monday, Tk’emlúps Kúkpi7 (Chief), Casimir reiterated her call for the federal government to fund a healing centre for the band as another tangible step toward reconciliation, noting the findings of probable graves on band land has impacted survivors’ mental health.

Casimir said such a centre would offer healing programs for survivors and intergenerational survivors of residential schools.

Trudeau said he told Casimir his government will be working with the band on “important issues,” such as the healing centre, but stopped short of mentioning any specific funding commitment for such a space.

The prime minister also mentioned working with the band on an elders lodge, the des-

A15

ignation of historic sites and continuing to get closure and commemoration with respect to its missing Indigenous children.

Casimir noted the band needs resources to complete the work of investigating the potential grave sites on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, something she said will be a long process and could have implications of criminal behaviour.

During a question period with the media, Trudeau said the federal government will work with all First Nations communities to ensure they have resources for identification of and recovery from unmarked burial sites.

He said requests for the funding have been coming in from across the country, noting the Indigenous Services Ministry has been working hard to deliver those resources.

Trudeau added he is listening to what needs to be done to make amends for residential schools as a country.

“I hear you when you say not only words, but actions are the way forward,” Trudeau said.

It is with extremely mixed emotions that I wish to inform you that I will be closing my private practice on December 31, 2021, due to family reasons. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to everyone who has supported me since I opened my private office in March 2015.

Body was that of missing man KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A DNA analysis has confirmed a Kamloops man reported missing a year ago this week has died.

On Oct. 19, 2020, Ryan Friesen, 43, was reported missing from his residence on Royal Avenue in North Kamloops, with police issuing a media release at the time reporting that Friesen has been missing for several days, with friends and fam-

ily unable to reach him.

Earlier this month, on Oct. 12, through DNA analysis and comparison, his remains were confirmed to be those located in the South Thompson River on Aug. 23 of this year, Const.

Crystal Evelyn said in a release.

At the time, Mounties did not issue a press release regarding a body being found in the river on Aug. 23.

“Police have been in contact with Mr. Friesen’s family, who supported releasing his name publicly to update those who have been actively looking for him since his disappearance,” Evelyn said.

“The family has asked for privacy at this time.”

According to Evelyn, Friesen’s cause of death has yet to be determined, but, at this point, police don’t suspect his death was criminal in nature.

Singh reflects on prolonged stay in hospital KAMLOOPS COUNCILLOR TELLS WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN’T AFTER 16-DAY STINT IN RIH JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A city councillor recently spent 16 days in Royal Inland Hospital and the experience has given him new perspective on the health-care system.

Coun. Arjun Singh had never previously stayed in hospital, but stomach pain landed him in RIH, where he required gallstone removal, gallbladder removal and follow-up care, due to internal bleeding.

Singh has returned to council, but is still recovering.

Speaking with KTW, Singh said he was “struck” by the quality of care he received. He said that while the emergency department was chaotic and resources are stretched, staff — including nurses fairly new

to the field — worked hard to keep patients stable.

He said following his gallbladder removal surgery, hospital staff monitored him and noticed chills and low blood pressure.

He said that, within minutes, multiple nurses attended and his doctor was called back to the hospital. It was a hairy situation but under control, Singh recalled — so much so he was able to crack jokes, while hospital staff did the worrying for him.

“If it wasn’t for some very, very careful nursing and some careful doctoring, I don’t know if I’d be where I am right now,” Singh said, noting he could have died from the internal bleeding without proper care.

Asked what did and did not work well during his hospital stay, Singh said regular

checkups by staff, patient comfort and an ability to call staff when something was needed worked well.

Meanwhile, he said the hospital could benefit from increased staff, including at

night, noting privacy could not be provided when waiting occurred in overflow areas, such as hallways.

Singh said waiting occurred as a result of COVID-19 patients in hospital. One

message he has for the community — get vaccinated.

“From my perspective, seeing on the inside the pressures on the system, one big pressure definitely and one pressure we definitely don’t need to have is this question of people with COVID taking up ICU beds and those kinds of things,” he said, noting most people who are hospitalized with COVID-19 are not vaccinated and hospitalization leads to delays in other services.

“It’s sobering,” he said. “It’s a sobering thing to kind of think about.”

Singh said the hospital is facing other issues in addition to COVID-19 and he would like to discuss issues — such as a red carpet program to attract staff — at the ThompsonNicola Regional District table.

DeSantis to depart downtown JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

After four years in the role, Carl DeSantis is resigning near the end of the year from his position as executive director of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association, known as Downtown Kamloops.

DeSantis’ last day of work will be on Dec. 10. His successor has not yet been named.

DeSantis told KTW he was thinking about resigning in the summer, after he went away for a few weeks and came back recharged.

“That’s all it’s about,” he said. “One of my daughters is due in about two weeks on Halloween and she’s on the Island. I’m going to be over there spending time.”

DeSantis said the decision to resign was his and not the board’s and that the board had flattering comments about him when he announced his departure last week.

The resignation comes as the KCBIA is in the midst of a five-year levy renewal.

Downtown commercial property owners contribute to the levy, which supports the existence of the KCBIA. Asked if there is fear the BIA doesn’t have support from businesses, DeSantis said there is always that fear, but noted he is confident the levy will be renewed toward the end of December.

DeSantis said the new executive director will have a five-year start and that his resignation was not related to the levy issue.

“Not at all,” he said. “No.” DeSantis said the KCBIA was his third career. He previously worked for the Calgary Police and co-ordinated the justice program at Bow Valley College in Alberta, He moved to Kamloops for the job four years ago, along with wife Bev DeSantis, who is CEO of Tourism Kamloops.

Rotarian honoured for 50 years of service RUSS GERARD WAS ALSO A CITY COUNCILLOR, A SCHOOL TRUSTEE — AND AN AIRCRAFT ELECTRICIAN IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops Rotarian with a long history of community contributions has been honoured for his 50 years of service.

On Monday, the Rotary Club of Kamloops met to honour Russ Gerard, a former school board representative, city councillor, veterinarian and United States Air Force veteran, for his 50 years with the community service club.

Gerard joined Rotary in 1971, following in the footsteps of his father. He had just recently moved to Kamloops and had graduated veterinary school one year earlier.

“I never would have dreamed about being here for 50 years, but I’ve enjoyed every bit of it,” he told Kamloops This Week.

Gerard was honoured by a number of past Rotary presidents and members, calling the surprise occasion “unbelievable” while thanking well-wishers alongside his wife, Syndy.

In Gerard’s years of public service in Kamloops, he was a school trustee, and board chair, and an alderman (city councillor) in the 1980s and 1990s.

He was involved in projects such as the construction of Riverside Coliseum (now Sandman Centre) and the 1993 Canada Games, which brought a number of still-standing facilities to the city, including the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and Hillside Stadium.

As a Rotarian, however, Gerard said his proudest work has been with the organization’s PolioPlus campaign — an international campaign to end polio that began in 1979 and has

already saved countless lives.

Gerard said his community service work has been driven by how he was treated over the years.

“I think this community of Kamloops and surrounding area has treated me royally . . . and I really appreciate all the help

I’ve had,” he said.

Gerard’s history with Kamloops lines up with his community service in Rotary, but prior to that, he was under another kind of service.

From 1961 to 1965, Gerard served with the United States Air Force and would become

an aircraft electrician during a critical time in history.

The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 brought the United States and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war. At the height of that tension, Gerard found himself inside American B-47 Stratojets, wiring atomic bombs for delivery, should the crisis take a turn for the worse.

“Luckily, that settled itself and never came forward,” he said.

It wasn’t until after that scare he became interested in animals, after working on a farm on and off for six years.

“I became very interested in the animal kingdom and thought I could do a service with getting into veterinary medicine, and that’s what I did,” he said.

While Gerard is now a retired veterinarian, he still does consulting work in Kamloops and the surrounding area.

Waste Reduction Week October 18-24 Waste Reduction Week is a national event that encourages residents to think about the social, economic, and environmental impacts of consumption and waste.

Want to know how you can participate?

Reduce Textile Waste

Ditch the Disposables

On average we buy 3 times more clothes than we did in 1980. Reduce textile waste by: • Buying less • Buying higher quality garments • Buying second hand clothing • Learning how to extend the life of your clothes by removing stains and making basic repairs Kamloops.ca/Textiles

Since 1950 the world has produced 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic, only 10% of which has been recycled. Reduce this number by: • Bringing your own bags shopping • Refusing single-use plastics like straws and utensils • Using reusable alternatives like beeswax wraps and containers for food storage Take the Bring Your Own pledge at Kamloops.ca/BYO.

Swap, Share and Repair!

Reducing E-Waste

Sharing and repairing are some of the best ways to reduce household waste.

• Sell or give away items you no longer use online or at the curb • Learn how to make basic repairs– iFixit.com is a great resource • Borrow something you need from a friend or neighbor instead of buying a tool or appliance that you only use occasionally

Rapid advances in technology make e-waste one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. Try to reduce your e-waste by: • Repairing broken electronics before recycling • Learning how electronics are recycled • Taking electronics and electrical appliances to recycling depots at their end of life

Circular Economy

Food—Just Eat It

A Circular Economy means moving towards systems that keep products at their highest value through reuse, repair and recycle.

• Learn more at WRWCanada.com • Learn about circular businesses • Support circular businesses

The average Canadian household spends $1,766 on food that is wasted every year and costs the Canadian economy $49 billion a year. Help reduce this by: • Making a meal plan • Making a grocery list and stick to it • Making a habit of eating leftovers Kamloops.ca/LoveFoodHateWaste

Share your Waste Reduction Story and Win! Between October 18 and 24, tell us your story in 100 words or less or submit a photo with a caption to be entered to win a daily prize draw of a B.Y.O. Bag (reusable lunch bag and stainless steel straws). Daily entries will be entered into a grand prize draw for one of three $50 gift cards for Downtown Kamloops businesses.

Hartnell sells Peter Puck MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

E

Dianna Hartnell: “I’m getting older. It’s time.”

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

lysha DeRose was not expecting Peter Puck ownership to feel like it did

on Day 1.

“My husband pulled up in the parking lot and I was like, ‘I think I’m going to throw up,‘” DeRose said.

“This has been such a sustainable program for 30 years. I needed it to go well. I needed it to be successful on the first day as a new owner because all these people already have premeditated notions of how this is supposed to go for them.”

Last month, Dianna Hartnell sold her Kamloops institution to DeRose, handing over the reins to the kids’ hockey program Hartnell had championed since 1987.

While DeRose was trying not to get sick with nerves on Oct. 7, the first day of a new era in Peter Puck, Hartnell was crying at home.

“The first class, I probably spent the day in tears,” said Hartnell, who was emotional during the

phone call. “OK, I’m not going to break down to you. I’ve probably done this before. Anyway, yeah, it was tough. My doctor said it’s best for me to give it up.”

Hartnell had openheart surgery in January.

“I’m getting older,” she said. “It’s time.”

DeRose, one of Hartnell’s trusted instructors, began showing interest in purchasing the program about three years ago, but recent family additions — one-yearold daughter Lennie and three-year-old son Deacon — made her think twice about taking the plunge this fall.

“At first, I said no,”

Elysha DeRose (second from right) is in charge of Peter Puck. She is pictured with husband Ryland, son Deacon and daughter Lennie.

DeRose, a former minor hockey coach, said of Hartnell’s offer. “The next day, I said to my husband, I have to call her back.

After having kids of my own, that was just where I wanted to be. That’s where I want to make sure we could instil the love of the game into kids. At this age, you have a chance to make

it fun for them and make it something they can truly enjoy learning. Those kids are so funny.”

That passion is the primary reason Hartnell chose DeRose to be her successor.

“She just has such a heart to her,” Hartnell said.

“I know she’ll do good. She knows the program. She

was taught by me, right?

“I’ve met amazing, amazing people. Every week, I run into people.

They say, ‘We hear you’re not doing it any more.

You’re leaving such a legacy.’ They get me in tears in the stores. I’m a sissy pants, eh?”

Among Hartnell’s Peter Puck graduates is Kamloops Blazers’ star forward Logan Stankoven, who dined with her son, Sean, earlier this year at Dallas Stars’ training camp in Texas.

“The kids. That’s what

I get out of it,” Hartnell said. “It’s going to be tough when I run into them and they ask, ‘Where have you been?’ I get a lot of people, they’re 25 or 30 now, and they still remember Peter Puck.”

The transfer of ownership took place at Hartnell’s home.

“Oh, Dianna. In a matter of those three hours I was there, she had laughed, got mad and cried, gone through every emotion she could — and fair enough,” DeRose said.

“It’s kind of like she’s sending one of her babies off. She’s moulded it into what it is today and I think she was struggling with letting go, but also knowing it was time.”

Hartnell wasn’t ready to sell three years ago.

She wasn’t ready last year, either.

She was never going to be truly prepared to move on.

“Make sure you say it,” Hartnell reminded KTW. “Remember, if you can’t skate, you can’t play the game.”

Over wine and chatter, DeRose ensured Hartnell the mantra will live on, along with her legacy.

“We cheersed our glasses,” DeRose said.

After hearing feedback from concerned parents, the School District 73 Elementary Sports Council will meet this week to revisit a decision to nix interschool volleyball play.

SD73 superintendent Rhonda Nixon said a survey was sent to principals and athletics directors and results indicated interest in the meeting to reconsider the plan for intra-school play only.

“I do believe it will be a result

that meets kids’ needs regardless,” Nixon said. “I’m not sure how it will go, but I do believe the council will come back with, perhaps, if not a change, some kind of alteration to their original decision if it’s needed.”

Nixon was also asked about crosscountry running season.

“We did not start with crosscountry because

it would have been challenging when the rules for Interior Health were increasing for our region, in particular because of increasing case numbers,” Nixon said.

“At that time, when we were just settling back into a school routine, we did not start with cross-country athletics.”

When the Elementary Sports

Council originally met, directors and principals felt that students who were playing, scrimmaging and developing skills in the intramural environment were happy with the programming, Nixon said, so the council did not see the need to have interschool play to meet extracurricular needs.

“In addition, there were increases in cases within the last month in the KamloopsThompson region, so it might be wise to see whether case numbers start to go down,” Nixon said.

Early progress is encouraging Kamloops Storm head coach Geoff Grimwood.

The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club was 4-2 and second in Doug Birks Division standings ahead of an earlyseason, measuring-stick game against the Revelstoke Grizzlies, a tilt that took place on Tuesday after KTW’s press deadline.

“I still think through six games, they’re the best team we’ve seen,” Grimwood said of the Grizzlies, who blanked the Storm 3-0 on Oct. 2 in Kamloops.

“Their record (3-2 as of Tuesday) is not jumping off the page, but for my money, I think they’re the best team in the league.”

The Storm have scored by committee and nine of their 10 top scorers are from

Kamloops, including Zakery Anderson, who led the way with eight points, including six goals, in six games.

Grimwood on Anderson: “He’s a little bit slippery, a little bit greasy. The work ethic is really good. And it sounds really simple, but he shoots the puck. A lot of guys, they get into the slot and they want to overhandle it. He’s got the ability to grab it and rip it.”

Added Anderson: “That’s the way I’ve always been.

Sometimes, overhandling the puck, I just lose it. I like to grab it and shoot right away.”

The Storm’s power play was tied for fifth in the league, clicking at 23.8 per cent, and had accounted for 10 goals, the second-most power-play markers in the KIJHL. “If you’re not playing well, sometimes your power play can buy you out of trouble,” Grimwood said. “There are a lot of players on our third

and fourth lines who haven’t found the back of the net yet, but I think they will as we keep going.”

Kamloops is expecting its inexperienced blue line to fight through growing pains early in the campaign.

The club had allowed 19 goals in six games, the fifthmost in the KIJHL. “Last weekend was our best weekend in terms of goals against,” said Grimwood, whose club fell 3-1 to visiting Kelowna on Friday and bested hometown Princeton 4-1 on Saturday.

“That’s a function of pretty good goaltending and guys getting more comfortable on defence.”

Colton Phillips-Watts, an 18-year-old goaltender from Quesnel, had played in five games for Kamloops, posting a 3-2 record, .874 save percentage and 3.14 goalsagainst average.

Recent addition Cody Creasy, an 18-year-old back-

stop from Brandon, got the start in Princeton, stopping 18 shots to pick up the victory in his Storm debut.

“Colton’s been good, so we felt very comfortable having him in there every night,” Grimwood said.

“Over the long haul, we’re going to have a two-guy system.”

Doug Birks Division standings as of Tuesday: Chase (4-1-1-0), Kamloops (4-2), Revelstoke (3-2), 100 Mile House (1-3) and Sicamous (1-3).

The Storm are averaging about 300 fans per home game.

“We played them [the Grizzlies] about three weeks ago and it didn’t go our way,” Anderson said. “But we’ve been practising in our own end, how to work against the forecheck they play. I think we’ll have a good game against them.”

Nogic’s unexplained exit prompts Olynyk’s return MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Neither side is talking details after a Canada West coaching change at Thompson Rivers University, a move that comes on the brink of the regular season.

The WolfPack on Monday reintroduced former athletics and recreation director Ken Olynyk, who was named head coach of the women’s basketball team.

Olynyk, the institution’s athletics director from 2003 to 2018, is a Kamloops resident and succeeds Goran Nogic, the Serbian bench boss who was hired in May of 2019.

“Right of this moment, I can’t [comment],” Nogic told KTW when asked why he is no longer coaching the team. “But for sure you will have the big story in the future. Right now, I can’t. Sorry about that.”

Curtis Atkinson, director

of athletics and recreation for TRU, said the WolfPack wishes to respect the privacy of all involved and will not be commenting on specific staffing decisions.

He was asked if the decision not to comment comes after advice from lawyers.

“No,” he said. “It’s really just university staffing matters that we don’t want to make any comment on. That’s where we’ll be leaving it at this point.

“Given we’re trying to move this forward and think we have a really strong leader to do that with, that’s where we’ll focus and I don’t anticipate anything further on that part.”

The WolfPack are slated to begin regular season Canada West play on Oct. 29, when UNBC comes to town.

TRU was in pre-season action on Saturday, Oct. 16, in Cowtown, falling 70-55 to the Manitoba Bisons in Calgary Cup action.

Nogic is listed on the game

sheet as the WolfPack’s head coach, but he was not with the team, said Atkinson, who noted Nogic was most recently with the squad last week.

“It did happen pretty fast and Ken was certainly at the top of my list,” Atkinson said.

Prior to Nogic’s arrival, the WolfPack were 104-189 in U Sports play and had been eliminated in Round 1 in each of their five post-season appearances.

TRU, which was 4-20 and missed the playoffs in 20182019, recorded a 7-13 record in 2019-2020, Nogic’s first season at the helm, and was bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

His animated, tough-love coaching style was notable.

The pandemic wiped out the 2020-2021 Canada West basketball campaign, but Nogic kept busy by building his roster, bringing in numerous new recruits.

Press releases detailed the additions of local high school

SPONSORED CONTENT

HOLMES IS WHERE THE

Just whistle while you work, and cheerfully together we can tidy up the place, So hum a merry tune, it won’t take long when there’s a song to help you set the pace.

That’s a lyric from the song Whistle While you Work.

There is a scene in the Disney classic Snow White, where she is cleaning up the dwarfs’ cabin and she tells all the squirrels, birds and wildlife that if they whistle happily whilst doing their chores, it is much more enjoyable to get the job done.

I am not a big fan of whistling. If I had a coworker sitting next to me who whistled continually throughout the day, I would need to move stations.

I have noticed a change in the workforce. Even before Covid, when I worked at KTW, many of my colleagues within earshot had headphones on while plunking away on their computers. I assumed they were listening to music or podcasts, but in reflection, I can’t help but wonder if they were only doing that to stop me from making conversation. It’s one thing to engage in a bit of chit chat, but whistling all day is

something else.

I had feedback one time from a woman who said her date whistled too much on a hike. She found it irritating and decided not to have a second date. I had similar feedback from another lady who said her date hummed a lot.

Well, maybe the whistling and humming were out of nervousness on the first date.

I also had a woman tell me that a man made a weird sniffling sound that turned her off. I found it surprising that this was annoying enough for her to not consider seeing him again.

I will never forget the first time my son, who was 12 at the time, met my boyfriend, who later became my husband. The first words out of his mouth were, “Lucky you didn’t meet her during allergy season.”

I was pretty embarrassed, but it was a fair warning given that in May and June, I look like I got out of the boxing ring with Muhammad Ali and I sound like Marvin the Martian from Bugs Bunny.

But here’s the thing — my allergies last for two months of the year. It turns out my husband clears his throat and coughs 12 months of the year, due to what he says is a sinus condition. So, even though we both have these issues, we have found a way to live with them (for the most part, anyway).

One time, a woman told me a man had a weird voice on the phone, so she decided she didn’t want to meet him. I could understand if he sounded like Gilbert Gottfied, but for crying out loud, these deal-breakers are a little over the top.

I had a woman tell me she did not want to date a man who snores. The way I see it,

prospects, players from the Coast who had success at provincial championships and the backcourt of the future, including Serbian Danijela Kovacevicć, only the second international recruit in program history and the first from outside North America.

How will this coaching change affect Nogic’s recruits?

“It certainly isn’t the first time this has happened at any level of competitive sport, where for a variety of reasons there can be a change of leadership,” Atkinson said.

“I know there is going to be this feeling of uncertainty, initially, but I think we have an incredible opportunity with Ken. If there’s ever a coach to do that with, boy, I would go with Ken Olynyk any day of the week.”

Nogic succeeded Scott Reeves, who had been head coach of the WolfPack women’s basketball team since 2006.

Olynyk and Joe Enevoldson

ran the team on an interim basis during its inaugural U Sports season in 2005-2006.

“I love this school and I’m excited to once again have the opportunity to work with the outstanding student-athletes at TRU,” Olynyk, the father of NBA star Kelly Olynyk, said in a TRU press release.

Olynyk has 25 seasons of head coaching experience at the U Sports level, most recently in 2018-2019 with the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball team on an interim basis.

Atkinson said the move is still fresh, so feedback from players has been limited.

“Any time there is a change in leadership, there is always a little bit of uncertainty. The players and Ken will be working hard this week to get up to speed with each other,” Atkinson said.

“Ken’s a guy who loves the game, loves the school, loves the program. He’s so credible and has such a steady hand.”

IS

by the time she would find out if he snores, they are hopefully very serious about each other and would find a way to make it work.

One thing very apparent about all of these complaints is they all come from women.

I have never had a man tell me he is concerned about whistling, humming, throat clearing, snoring or weird voices. Thus far, it seems men are mostly concerned with one thing — they want to be really attracted to a woman.

If a man finds a woman irresistible, he won’t care what her voice sounds like, or even if she whistles.

I understand these little things can lead to arguments and struggles at some point in a relationship. But how silly would it sound to get divorced over snoring or throat-clearing? The trick is to pick your battles and find solutions and compromises with which you can both live.

If you are happy, single and like humming a tune or whistling while you work, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis. ca and maybe I have a Snow White waiting for you.

Development of a Pest Management Plan File # TMW-0003-22/27 As per the Integrated Pest Management Act of British Columbia, Section 61(1) this is a public notification that: TELUS Communications Inc. is developing an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) under the BC Integrated Pest Management Act and associated regulations. TELUS manages property in the Province of British Columbia, which includes communications towers, network buildings and right of ways for above and below-ground operations.

The plan is described to ensure effective and safe control for invasive weeds and other undesirable vegetation, which will reduce fire hazards, ensure telecommunications equipment and communications are not jeopardized and provide safe working conditions.

Our approach is to promptly assess sites and use selective techniques to enhance our efforts toward reducing the number of instances that may require vegetation control. Methods may include mechanical, manual, cultural or herbicide ground applications.

These treatment applications may also be used in accordance with the Weed Control Act by orders from the B.C. Ministry or local jurisdictional authorities. Herbicides will be applied by backpack sprayers, trucks, or ATV. • Herbicide active ingredient proposed under this program include: aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, imazapyr, triclopyr, glyphosate, indaziflam, flumioxazin, pyroxasulfone, flazasulfuron, aminocyclopyrachlor, saflufenacil, acetic acid, methyl ethyl oleate, paraffinic oil, alkoxylate alcohol and surfactant blend.

• Trade names include Clearview, Arsenal Powerline, Garlon XRT, VP480, Esplanade, Navius VM, Torpedo, LongRun, Detail, Munger Vinegar Plus, Gateway, Hasten NT and LI700.

The proposed effective term of this IPMP is from Jan. 2, 2022 to Jan. 1, 2027. The IPMP or map(s) may be viewed by contacting the agent, E-Qwest Consulting at 250-212-5727, 2579 Sylvia Road, Lake Country, BC V4V 2R8. Or email, E-Qwest Consulting Ltd. e-qwest@shaw.ca. Alternatively, you can contact TELUS at environment@telus.com.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

Woodlot Licence 311 Plan

Take notice that Woodlot Licence 311, held by Pemberton Ridge Timber Inc., has the Woodlot Licence Plan (WLP), available for review and comment. The woodlot is located near Pinantan Lake in the Thompson Rivers Forest District. The term of the plan is for ten years November 2021 to October 2031.

For review and comment of operations under this plan; interested or affected persons can obtain a copy of the plan by contacting John Childerley, RPF at Atlas Information Management Ltd.

GIVE LAVISHLY LIVE ABUNDANTLY

By Helen Steiner Rice The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh,

The tears of grief Have washed away The clouds of sorrow, And vision now is clarified I miss you still, But see you new In light of joy And smile at your remembrance.

The love we shared Still here to give And to experience The joy that comes from that, is you!

The less you fret, The more you do unselfishly,

In loving memory of a loving mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother.

Always in our hearts,

Love your family.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

You are forever In our hearts.

Love from all your Family & Friends

The more you live abundantly, The more of everything you share, The more you’ll always have to spare, The more you love, The more you’ll find, That life is good, And friends are kind, For only what we give away, Enriches us from day to day.

Ruth Marie Schroeder 1940 - 2021

Our hearts are so broken, we’ve lost a wonderful wife (Babes), Momma and Grammie (Grammie Pickle). Ruth Marie Schroeder of Kamloops, BC, passed away on October 11, 2021, at 80 years of age.

Ruth never sat still - always had a puzzle and a book on the go, loved spending time with her grandkids in her craft room; painting, scrapbooking, or making costumes.

She enjoyed travelling, gardening, and spending time with her family and friends - her grandkids were her joy! This truly a great loss for all that knew her, and she will be so missed.

A Celebration of Ruth’s Life took place on Sunday, October 17, 2021, at 2:30 pm at St. Andrews on the Square in Kamloops, BC. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Dr. Paul Dickinson.

You will be missed by all whose lives you touched.

William Russell (Russ) Stewart The family of William Russell Stewart (Russ), wish to announce his passing on September 24, 2021 at the age of 76, after a rapid battle against cancer.

Russ is survived by his loving partner Nikki Paterson; three children Shannon, Sloane (Paul) and Wes (Lori) and three grandsons Joshua (Anna), Jacob, and Kaleb; as well as sister Joanne (Jack and son Nathan) Piazza. He was pre-deceased by his father Bill (Jean) Stewart, mother Shirley Herd and sister Jackie Nixon (Craig and children Graham and Sarah).

Russ was born on February 17, 1945 and raised in Kamloops.

He was the first of what would become 34 cousins in the Stewart Clan and was always very proud of his huge family tree. Russ was kind, intelligent and had an acerbic wit. He was always ready to help out and fix whatever needed fixing.

A successful salesman and entrepreneur, he and Nikki began a bottled water company in Penticton. During their time there he was a big part of the Ironman events.

Russ shared his time between Canada and New Zealand for many years and felt so fortunate to have been able to retire to New Zealand with the love of his life Nikki, where he could fish and swim in the ocean across the road from their home.

His wishes were to be cremated and have his ashes spread at his favourite fishing spot in the Coromandel area of New Zealand.

In lieu of flowers, if you wish, please send donations to the Cancer Society in Russell’s name.

Announcements for a celebration of life for Russ in Canada will follow.

Ruth Linnea Phipps March 15, 1930 - October 5, 2021 Born: Chilliwack, BC

She was an amazing woman, with loads of character, who enjoyed every moment of life. A Covid 19 outbreak in her home challenged her. She won the first few battles, and then sadly passed peacefully.

She married young and had first child at 18. Ruth and Larry kept an eye on her three younger brothers, while having four children of her own. The new family home was filled with many family celebrations, and the large yard was always hosting some type of events, including indoor parties and dinners to swimming and tobogganing gatherings.

Mom was a Scout and Ranger leader. She had the four of us organized in scouts, guides, swimming, baseball, bowling, football, skating, and a host of other activities.

Mom sewed clothes, amazing Barbie outfits, and skating costumes. She enjoyed creating event costumes for herself. Mom loved dressing up in costume and putting herself together nicely every day. She had a good supply of jewelry for all occasions.

She knitted and crocheted. With her need to be busy, she usually had a craft on the go, such as: ceramics, resin work, fabric painting, and doll making. She also enjoyed puzzles, gardening; especially flowers, and so much more.

She loved animals, we always had pets from, fish, turtles, rabbits, gerbils to cats and dogs. We are still enjoying Pepper, her African Grey parrot. She was always mesmerized by the visiting deer, bears, squirrels and birds to her yard.

Helmut Kruger

May 20, 1933 - October 8, 2021 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Helmut at Columbia House in Invermere, BC, with his loving wife Gerda and son Ron by his side, on October 8, 2021, at the age of 88 years.

Helmut was born in Poland. After the war, his parents and family moved to Germany. In 1952 Helmut immigrated to Canada, 2 years later he sent for his girlfriend Gerda still in Germany. They were married in Vernon, BC in 1954. In June 2021 Helmut and his wife Gerda celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary. Helmut and his wife were blessed with three wonderful sons, Gary, Randy, and Ron. Helmut worked many years as a millwright for Weyerhaeuser Canada, he also liked to travel and be with his family and friends. Helmut liked music and ballroom dancing. On their wedding anniversary Helmut took his wife Gerda to Harrison Hot Springs, BC, they fell in love with the place, so Helmut made sure to take his wife every year on their anniversary to dine, dance and have a good time in Harrison.

Helmut was predeceased by his dear son Gary in 1976. His four younger brothers and his dad in the 1940s, his mother Luisa Kruger in 1997.

Helmut is survived by his loving wife Gerda, his sons Ron and Randy (Vicky), grandchildren Jason, Amanda (Marc), his brother Felix Kruger and sister-in-law Erma Kruger, many cousins in Canada and Germany.

Our heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff at Columbia House, the care, love, and compassion you gave Helmut was above and beyond. You all became an extension to our family.

She did the business books for the family roofing company. Then, she went out to the work force starting in Public Health, and finishing with a twenty-five year career in Surrey as a School Secretary. She worked in several elementary schools; retiring from Birkshire Elementary, at age 65.

We also would like to thank Dr. Walsh for all the years you took such good care of Helmut and the encouraging words you had for us during Helmut’s final days.

She retired and left Surrey. Then, she moved to Logan Lake, where she filled her days by volunteering in the community. She was the president of the Logan Lake Chamber of Commerce for four years. As well, she volunteered with ESS (Emergency Social Services) as Deputy Director and Director. She was instrumental in getting the rooftop sprinklers on the houses in the community, as well as clearing out the fuel around the perimeter of town. This proved helpful during this past fire season. She was totally involved in the Logan Lake Lions Club, enjoying all the club activities and trading pins galore with other clubs. She was involved with lots of fund raising, especially proud of the BBQ/Cook trailer. She assisted with Lobster Fest, as well helped provide various Lions meals around town and worked tirelessly for Paws for a Cause. She assisted the Logan Lake Princesses.

Memories As we watch the years roll past We have shown that love will last Beautiful memories we have shared I shared with you because you cared.

She was part of the C.O.P. (Citizen on Patrol). Ruth always had her hand up to help others. She loved people, and animals always seemed to seek her out. She was named Logan Lake’s Citizen of the Year (2003) and carried the torch for the 2010 Olympics.

Mom and Phil moved to Kamloops, where they enjoyed being in town, closer to family and shopping. They enjoyed having meals served and no more lawns to mow.

As life went on, mom suffered medically, and moved into Overlander Residential Care Home for her final six years. There, in true Ruthie style, she tried her best every day. She enjoyed kibitzing with staff, listening to conversations, and watching them work throughout their busy day. She was pleased to sneak behind the clerk’s desk and use her secretarial skills to assist the clerk. She’d lend an ear to report meetings, as well. Whenever possible she stuck her legs straight out in front of her wheelchair indicating she was ready to go for a walk, outside best. She loved the fresh air.

Ruth is predeceased by: Larry, her husband of nearly thirty years, her children’s father, Phil her partner of past forty two years, and her son Pat. Ruth is survived by three children: Kerry (Vera), Randy and Laurie, grandchildren: Leah (Jarrett), Michelle, Shane (Stephanie), Tricia, Stephanie (Zeb), Jason (Tessa), Ryan (Sanaz), Carly (Brad), Loren, great-grandchildren: Dylan (Natalie), Micaela, Isabella, Sophia, Oliver, Cove, Beatrix, Rui, Dia, Zachary and William.

No Public Service will be held. Simply spread a little happiness! SPCA would be a charity of her choice.

Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Services.

Nieces and nephews were also dear to her, and she kept every photo or announcement ever sent. For those in her family, please know that Lou may not have been a hugger, but she truly loved you!

Jeanette Tourney

Joan Werstiuk It is with heavy hearts that we announce that on October 14, 2021 our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and sister, Joan Werstiuk, peacefully passed at the age of 89 years to join her husband in eternity.

Joan was born in Scotton, County of York, England on December 3, 1931 to John and Mary Dale. Born and raised in England, Joan faced the harshness of WW2 and the Battle of Britain as a child and young teenager, which guided her decision to head to the United States in search of adventure and freedom. She settled in San Francisco, working and enjoying exploring the United States and Mexico in a Volkswagen Beetle! Eventually she moved to Vancouver, Canada, where she met the love of her life Walter, whom she married in December of 1970. Moving to Kamloops in 1972 they purchased a house in Barnhartvale and set about making it a home. Her days were full between raising 2 boys and being the bookkeeper for the Village Hotel where Walter was the coowner and manager, as well as various volunteer activities, one of which was Thompson Community Futures. After retirement, Joan, like Walter, was focused on doing what she wanted, and they travelled extensively, but always returned home to be close to family at important times.

Joan was pre-deceased by her loving husband Walter recently, and her memory lives on with her surviving sister Dorothy and two sons Glen (Kate) and Craig (Alexa), stepdaughter Carrie (Dan), six grandchildren Ashley, Keiran, Savannah, Demeris, Jordan and Adam and a greatgranddaughter Emersyn.

May she Rest In Peace.

Due to COVID restrictions, a closed, private service will be held at Schoening Funeral Service, Saturday, October 30th at 11:00 am.

THE ANGEL ON YOUR OU SHOULDER S OU

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW!

Q. I told you Murray wanted to be cremated? Is it done yet?

A. A lot of people think it’s as simple as that. It isn’t. There are a number of legal documents to sign before we’re allowed to proceed. That plus the minimum 48 hour law in BC.

She Walks in Beauty LORD BYRON

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Fly Me

Written on Father’s Day 2010

He is an airplane ride blowing through the clouds He is an airplane window that reveals a whole dimension He is a propeller to delve farther deep into the universe like fractals He is an airplane grounded in the sky mighty with fuel He is an airplane engine efficient, sustaining and swift He is a wing of a plane that stabilizes my lift

Here is a safe place to crash A ride in the sky at night reveals a bright shiny movement You, my plane, are visible to the naked eye in each spectrum

He understands every mode of force He knows what’s true of the elements He is subtle but genuine at lift off and landing

He has an open storage to keep the baggage balanced on flight He has a trap door that releases the body of pain He has a water tank to keep the peace

A43

Am I your passenger?

Am I your wingman?

Am I your baggage?

Am I your well oiled engine?

Am I your wing?

Am I your lift in the air?

Am I your propeller that thrusts you to a new dimension?

I am all that you shape me to be You have a windshield view exposing the picture beyond Only you fit the pilot’s seat As your hands and feet heart and eyes are trained to work the plane You know every part and how to fix it You are navigating by the spirit You belong to a solid tender heart and so accepted as firm to soar You’re worth the shiniest mint coins and bills in circulation and so loved Your competence as an airplane secures my place For more experiences with you Will you invite me onboard?

Psalms 91:4 says, “He shall cover you with His feathers, And under his wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler”

Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Lost Kootenays found by Kamloops author CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

H

istory buffs are spending plenty of time getting lost on various online pages as they visit places of days gone by.

Lost BC, Lost Kootenays and other history pages on Facebook and elsewhere, including Kamloops History, are popular web destinations.

That wealth of information has also been added to the print medium, with the publication of Lost Kootenays, a book from authors Greg Nesteroff and Eric Brighton, the latter being a Kamloops resident.

Brighton noted the Lost Kootenays Facebook page, created about seven years ago, was on autopilot for some time.

“I took it over a little over a year ago and we had about 28,000 members. And we now have 55,000 members,” said Brighton, who is also an administrator of the Lost BC Facebook page and a regular contributor to the Kamloops History Facebook page.

The book came about when Brighton and Nesteroff were approached by MacIntrye Purcell Publishing about taking the online information and creating a book.

The result is a trip down memory lane for current and former residents of the Kootenays — and for anybody else with an interest in history.

Lost Kootenays has stood at or near the top the Amazon Canada bestseller list for picture books since being released on Sept. 30.

But it is more than a picture book, even though there are in excess of 130 photos of Kootenays history, complete with detailed captions. At 128 pages, the book includes more than 20,000 words.

“We did a lot of research for each picture and did the most comprehensive caption we could

for it, to try to find an interesting tidbit that hasn’t been mentioned before in other books,” Brighton said, noting the tome also has a Kootenays timeline, which he said comes in handy for those with an interest in the area, but without the background knowledge others might possess.

One of Brighton’s favourite photos is the one that graces the book’s cover, an image of the iconic Arlington Hotel.

But there are so many others covering myriad areas, including First Nations, railways, mines, farming, logging and steamboats that were lake

transportation for so long.

Brighton is a longtime archive hunter, scouring the BC Archives, the City of Vancouver Archives, the Kamloops Museum and Archives and other repositories of historical documents.

To be a good archive hunter, Brighton said, one must learn how to navigate the collections.

“They all have their own different types of search engines and they can be a little outdated,” he said. “So I’m using methods that are unconventional, that I find I’m able to dig up pictures other people can’t find that are buried in sections that nobody’s even looking through because it’s not stuff that interests them. But I find lost pictures in there because a lot of these archives, they just don’t have the manpower to be constantly sorting their collections.”

Brighton’s fascination with history started with his dad, a surveyor who saw much of B.C. “We did a lot of summer road trips and wherever he went, he was just always giving me a history lesson,” Brighton said.

“It was, you know, a shared past and we dug for old bottles and stuff and, you know, went to the ghost towns. It was just a passion from a very early age.

“I had my own set of maps.

I’d stare at these maps for hours, you know, and see names like

Pioneer Mine, Fort Steele.”

Lest anyone think the hobby is a casual affair, be forewarned that paying attention to history is hard work.

“You only have so much time and just running these groups takes huge amounts of time. It’s like a ball and chain 24/7 because you have to make sure there’s nothing going wrong with it,” Brighton said of running online history pages.

“Scouring the archives for pictures to post, that’s the tricky part. And you don’t want to post pictures everybody’s seen a hundred times. So you have to work.

I’ve got files and files and files and I’m constantly adding to them for future posts. And I restore the photos, as well, as a hobby. I’m a little bit of an amateur photographer, So, you know, a lot of photos come with ruined borders, you know, water-damaged or scratched.”

Lost Kootenays (Facebook page and print edition) may be followed by more “Lost” memories elsewhere, perhaps Lost Vancouver Island or Lost Thompson, if future ideas of Brighton and others come to fruition.

In the meantime, Lost Kootenays can be found online at amazon.ca, at chapters.indigo.ca and in the “local history” sections of some book stores.

A CHARITABLE DEVELOPMENT: A&T Project Developments has donated $50,000 to the RIH Foundation’s Together We Rise Campaign.

The donation will support initiatives such as funding priority equipment for the new patient-care tower and helping with the expansion of infrastructure in the current hospital.

CHARITY CALENDAR

Share It Forward with Save-On THROUGH OCTOBER October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the annual CIBC Run for the Cure being held on Oct. 3 in a virtual setup due to the pandemic.

Kamloops participants of this year’s event, which saw them sign up and raise money while running on their own, collected $45, 325.66, while $9 million was realized nationwide.

Money collected goes to breast cancer research initiatives, such as work being done

by Dr. Elijah Van Houten and his team at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec.

As outlined by the Canadian Cancer Society: What if a bra could detect breast cancer?

Through a grant awarded by the Canadian Cancer Society and partners, Dr. Elijah Van Houten and his team are developing a bra that can detect small breast cancer tumours using cutting-edge technology that can sense and measure the differences between breast tumours and healthy breast tissue.

When detected early, breast cancers are more likely to be treated successfully. In addition to regular mammograms, this amazing technology could be part of the life-saving future of breast cancer screening.

“We hope to transform breast cancer screening, making it a more comfortable, simple, regular and convenient way to undergo screening at home,” Van Houten said.

You can help those doing research into breast cancer by donating online at cancer.ca

Road to Hana leads to myriad treasures JANE CASSIE

s Vancouverites, my husband and I can attest to living through grey wet winters, but feel it’s the price we pay for living on the beautiful West Coast.

So, we simply grin and bear it.

But after all the rain, it’s been hard to come up with a smile. If the wet and wild can travel all the way from Hawaii courtesy the Pineapple Express, then we can do the return trip.

We’re in search of total reprieve, away from hoopla and throngs of tourists. Even though Maui has become a popular hot spot, the town of Hana still retains some Old World feel.

The reason? The highway that spans from the airport’s locale of Kahului to this eastern coast hamlet is not much wider than a glorified footpath.

Within a two-hour time frame, we veer around 600 curves, creep over 51 lane bridges, and yield to countless on-comers.

My heart beats double time and stomach flip flops as we navigate hairpins, blind corners and sheer cliffs.

Yet, in spite of the adrenaline rush and need for Gravol, the hair-raising journey is worth every minute. Our slender road loops through a feathery rainforest where we’re canopied by vine-dripping banyans, kissed by trickling waterfalls and wel-

comed by a pot of gold at the end of numerous rainbows.

The secluded treasure trove of Hana is steeped with just as much history as beauty. It was once home to a thriving sugar plantation and, after business dried up in 1943, the land was purchased by Paul Fagan, a highfalutin’ Californian.

“He not only established the present-day working ranch, but opened Hotel Hana-Maui.

Welcome!” we’re informed after reaching our destination resort, The friendly receptionist wears a purple orchid behind one ear and greets us with a fragrant lei and winning smile.

As well as a rundown on the past, she provides a map of the

present and, by the look at the embracing acreage, it’ll come in handy.

Asphalt walkways weave over the terrain like silver threads and lace through the quaint community of 1,800 residents.

They link up posh accommodations that range from views of a rugged shoreline or garden blooms, to chichi activities, spa specialties and culinary choices.

A number of these will soon create our experience. Tennis and a three-hole pitch and putt will keep us well-grounded. A hula and ukulele lesson will immerse us in the culture, the nearby surf and pools will cool

us off and, ahhh, the spa!

We’re soon whisked away to our Sea Ranch cottage, plantation-style, where every consideration has been given.

Our fruit basket would appease Adam and Eve, as would the deep soaker tub and tandem-size shower. There’s a stash of soft drinks, homegrown coffee and a cushy feather-top bed.

What’s not to love? And, while the Casablanca-like fan oscillates above, we’re soon lulled to sleep by the pounding surf.

It’s easy to hibernate in our retreat, but there are just as many temptations outside the door. The nearby main street

of Hana is flanked by a handful of souvenir stalls and hugging up to its perimeters are beautifully coloured stretches of sand.

We explore the golden crescent of Hamoa Beach, stroll the red cinder surface of Kaihalulu and check out the black sandy boulevard of Waianapanapa State Park.

Some attract surfers by the score. Others are perfect spots for picnicking. All possess a beauty of their own.

On our final day, we discover one last tropical splash just a few kilometers from town. Deep from within the jungledraped hills of Haleakala National Park are a series of waterfalls that plummet into a narrow gorge.

The rushing torrents continuously carve away the lush chasm known as Ohe’o Gulch, then cascade into seven inviting pools.

Though at times, these temporary reservoirs are popular swimming holes, during our visit, the water is high and turbulent and we admire the scene from a distance.

It’s a memorable farewell to this windward side of the island, where, in spite of excessive rainfall, we’ve been captivated during our two-day visit.

of a person who is cleansed or healed of this dreadful disease.

We read in verse 2, “this is the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing”. From verse 3 to verse 7, there are instructions about what was to be done.

In verse 3, we are told that the priest of God in Israel was to go out of the camp of Israel to look at the leper’s condition.

The priest was to check if the man was healed from the disease.

This is a picture of how the Lord Jesus came from Heaven down to Earth to where we are.

Jesus was God’s eternal son who came nearly 2,000 years ago to be here and ultimately gave his life for us on the cross to suffer for our sins.

In verse 4, the Bible says that the priest, after he verified the leprosy was healed, was to take two live birds that were clean and some cedar wood and scarlet and hyssop. Hyssop is a small plant use for different purposes.

The two birds will be a picture of the death and burial and resurrection of Jesus. The cedar wood is a picture of the humanity of Jesus.

The scarlet is a picture of the precious blood of Christ shed on the cross for sin. The hyssop is linked with cleansing or judgment in the scriptures.

So, having obtained these things, the priest was to show, by the things that he would do, the picture of the suffering of Jesus at the cross.

Next, in verse 5, the priest shall command that one of the two birds be killed in an earthen

vessel that had fresh water in it.

The death of the one bird is a picture of the death of Christ on the cross. The water was probably added to make the small amount of blood go far enough to sprinkle the live bird and the hyssop, cedar wood, scarlet and the leper who was healed.

It is believed by most that the birds were small, hence the need for the fresh water in the bowl.

So we read in verse 6 that this was done.

Then, in verse 7, it is said that the living bird was let loose into the open field. The living bird is a picture of the resurrection of Jesus. The living bird would again go back to the atmospheric heavens from where it came.

The picture is clear that the death of Christ for our sins has provided a way for us to be cleansed of our sin.

Jesus has died for us, taking upon himself the judgment of our sins at the cross. The resurrection of Christ is proof that God is satisfied with the suffering and death of Jesus. Are we satisfied with what God has

done for us? The living bird set free is a picture of this truth.

Certainly the leprous man who was now well would rejoice on this day that he would be declared clean from the disease he had.

He would be free to rejoin his family and friends and be part of the children of Israel again.

No more separation and needing to stay out of the camp of Israel because of his leprosy.

He was set free from the terrible disease and was clean from his leprosy ,which is a picture of our sin.

BC SPCA working on a feline fix locally JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The BC SPCA says the cat overpopulation persists in Kamloops and it is working to provide low-income spay and neutering and to educate the public.

The Kamloops and District branch of the BC SPCA has a waitlist of cats in line to be surrendered and the branch’s community engagement manager, Ashley Fontaine, said Kamloops has the highest feline intake of all B.C. branches.

“That’s from abandoned, neglected cats, that’s from feral communities, and so it all contributes to the cat overpopulation problem here

in the community,” she said.

Cat overpopulation is problematic due to the animals being neglected, unhealthy, at risk of disease, injured by wildlife or preying on other animals, such as birds.

Asked why it is so bad in Kamloops, compared to other communities, Fontaine said contributing factors include the value society and the community places on a cat’s life. She said it is not as high as that placed on a dog’s life.

“For example, we had a cat, her name was Breve, and her owner, her guardian, they moved. And when they left the apartment, they left her in there,” Fontaine said.

“They left her in this vacant apartment to fend for herself. You know, when cats want to get out of a space, she was making some noise and a neighbour heard, got the landlord and the landlord brought the cat to the SPCA. That just goes to show, obviously those people didn’t value that cat’s life because they left her in a vacant apartment.”

Fontaine said stories like that are much more frequent with cats than with dogs.

The city’s animal control bylaw also treats cats and dogs differently. Although dogs are required to be registered, cat registration is voluntary.

City CAO David Trawin said the city has never required registration of cats.

He said dogs are required to be registered because they are generally more aggressive and, if they were to roam free, would cause damage.

“Cats, really, the only damage we get about cats is the cat going to the bathroom in a neighbour’s yard,” he said.

Trawin said the most effective way to control the cat population is via spaying and neutering, adding he has not received any complaints about feral cats.

Between 10 and 15 years ago, though,

Train said the city had issues with rabbits in Westsyde.

Fontaine said people are not spaying and neutering their animals and kittens are brought into the branch often, due to unplanned litters.

She said the cost of getting a cat fixed can be prohibitive for some people. The BC SPCA launched a low-income spayneuter program in Kamloops as a pilot project this past summer, which allowed people to apply to get their cat spay or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped for free. The program has since been approved for more funding.

Fontaine encouraged all cat owners to spay or neuter their pet and implored Kamloopsians to recognize the impact of bringing home a pet as a life-long commitment.

The issue existed prior to the pandemic and Fontaine is concerned the number of cat surrenders could increase in the future.

“This is not new, this has been going on for a long time here in Kamloops, so we’re making significant efforts to push it so we can minimize the cat overpopulation and, hopefully, one day reduce it or eliminate it,” Fontaine said.

As daylight diminishes, some road safety tips ICBC reports nearly half of all pedestrian-involved collisions occur between the months of October and January, when driving conditions are at their worst.

ICBC PHOTO

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties have some fashion advice as the days begin to shorten, with Daylight Saving Time to end on Nov. 6 when clocks fall back an hour.

Police advise pedestrians to dress brighter as the risk of an accident with a motor vehicle increases with the decrease in daylight hours.

Throughout October, Kamloops RCMP members will be attending schools, talking to students about the importance of visibility and partnering with ICBC to provide reflective zipper pulls to pedestrians in the community, as well as issuing safety messages on social media.

According to ICBC, more than 2,600 pedestrians in B.C. are injured by motor vehicles each year.

“As we transition into having less daylight hours, it is important to also transition our visibility,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Dana

Napier said in a release.

“Pedestrians should consider wearing lighter-coloured clothing or have reflective stripes or stickers to increase their chance of being seen by drivers in low light conditions.”

ICBC reports nearly half of all pedestrian-involved collisions occur between the months of

Below is a list of tips for drivers and pedestrians. For more information on pedestrian safety, check out the ICBC website at icbc.com.

PEDESTRIANS • Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street. Do not assume a driver has seen you.

• Dress to be seen in bright or reflective clothing especially at night and on dark or overcast days.

• Use a crosswalk; a majority of the fatal pedestrian collisions involve jaywalking.

• Walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk so you are further away from traffic.

• If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic so you can see oncoming vehicles.

October and January, when driving conditions are at their worst.

Contributing factors include distraction, a failure to yield to pedestrians and poor weather.

“When driving, please make sure you’re focused on the road and watching for pedestrians that may be harder to see during the dusk to dawn hours,” Napier said.

• Make sure you can hear and see oncoming cars. Remove your headphones and your hood when crossing the street.

• Always look for signs that a vehicle is about to move (rear lights, exhaust smoke, sound of motor, wheels turning).

DRIVERS • Focus on the road. Always leave your phone alone while driving.

• Be ready to yield to pedestrians, especially when turning at intersections and near transit stops.

• If a vehicle has stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, it may be yielding for a pedestrian.

• Expect the unexpected, even mid-block, as pedestrians may be jaywalking.

• Slow down. Give yourself more time to react to the unexpected, like a pedestrian that suddenly appears in front of you.

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.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, this week may start off with a little confusion. However, within a few days you can sort through much of the haze and make sense of things.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Everything is not what it seems, Taurus. That doesn’t mean you have to be on guard. Some surprise await you and you will welcome them with open arms.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it is easy to get swept up in nostalgia this week. Memories of the past will bring a smile to your face, but you recognize that you need to take steps forward as well.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

LIBRA

Cancer, even if it feels like your mind is playing tricks on you, you have to sort through what is false and what is true to get to the real heart of the matter.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

OCTOBER 20 - OCTOBER 26, 2021 - Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, a craving for fantasy could be strong, especially if a lot of things in your life have been difficult lately. It can be tempting to slip into a dream world.

SCORPIO

Be careful where you spend your money, Leo. It can be easy to overspend if you’re not careful about keeping receipts and monitoring your money.

- Oct 24/Nov 22

Be mindful of activities you attend to and which people you keep in your inner circle, Scorpio. Time and who you spend it with are important.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Virgo, you typically function at your peak when you think through all sides of a story before acting. But when something pops up at work, you may have to think on your feet.

There’s a lot of energy swirling around you, Sagittarius. In face, you may need to find an outlet for it. Direct this sudden influx of energy into creative projects.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Start making some travel plans, Capricorn. A change of scenery is likely just what you need at this point in time to give you a fresh perspective.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, this may not have been the easiest year to develop new relationships. However, you will manage to walk away this week with one or two new acquaintances.

PISCES

- Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, instead of branching out into the unknown, try sticking with what you know for the time being. Enjoy this time in your comfort zone.
