Kamloops Mounties say missing Kamloops woman Shannon White may have left the city between the time she drove from her home on Nov. 1 and her Jeep was found on a downtown street on Nov. 2. The information came in the RCMP’s latest appeal to the public for information on the whereabouts of the 32-year-old. White left her Bestwick Court home shortly after 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 1. She was expected to arrive at work by 8:30 a.m. at the Hyundai dealership on Notre Dame Drive — a twokilometre drive — but she never arrived. The next afternoon, on Tuesday, Nov. 2, White’s 1997 black TJ Jeep with BC licence plate KAO 22N was found parked in downtown Kamloops, in the 200-block of Nicola Street, outside the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. A flower normally attached to the spare tire at the rear of the Jeep was missing.

“Although Shannon’s Jeep was located in Kamloops, there is a chance she could have left the city before her vehicle was located on Nov. 2,” said Cpl. Dave Marshall of the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crimes Unit. “If you have seen someone you think may be Shannon, don’t dismiss it. Contact police as soon as possible.” White’s disappearance is extremely out of character for her, a fact noted by police, White’s friends and her landlords, who spoke to KTW last week about the disappearance. White rented a basement suite from Matt and Quinn Hatch on Bestwick Court

in Lower Sahali and was known for her daily routine. At about 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 1 — three hours after Shannon failed to show up for her job at Kamloops Hyundai at 940 Notre Dame Dr. in Southgate (a two-kilometre drive) — Matt said he began receiving concerned messages from White’s friends. On Nov. 2 — the day after she left for work — at about 3:30 p.m., police found White’s Jeep parked downtown, 1.3 kilometres from White’s home via Sahali Terrace and Columbia Street West and in the opposite direction of her workplace.

For us, because it’s a commercial lease, there’s no scale.” The 10-acre property has been meeting the association’s needs in many ways over the past years. However, Sudds shared a long-term goal of the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association — that it might one day see itself operating in a different location. “We do love the airport, but it’s getting busier and there is the dog park next door,” Sudds noted. At times, she said, the property experiences flooding that forces animals to be moved, which in turn greatly impacts the program. If someone has a property that

The recent Halloween fundraiser brought visitors to experience the association’s open-air haunted barn, some for the first time. “A lot of people that came said, ‘We never knew you were out here,’” Sudds said. “That’s also what’s cool with the Christmas Cheer Fund, how it really builds awareness, sharing with the community this service that not all communities have access to.” Those interested in following Nala’s journey to becoming a full-time therapeutic riding horse can check her out on Instagram at #nalasjourney, on the association’s Facebook page and on the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association’s website at ktra.ca.

Nothing seemed amiss the day of disappearance From A1

White is an avid member of a local Jeep off-roading club, making the abandonment of her vehicle all the more curious. White did not return home despite having a pet dog, Buddy, which Quinn described as Shannon’s whole world. The dog is now in the care of friends. According to Quinn, the morning White went missing was like any other. Quinn was sitting in her vehicle waiting for her windows to defrost and said she saw White, dressed for work, walk past Quinn’s car window in the driveway and toward her Jeep, but didn’t see White enter the vehicle. Quinn said she didn’t see anyone with White at the time. Quinn said she drove

away first at about 8:10 a.m. and didn’t see White go back inside the house. She last saw White outside, waiting for her Jeep to warm up. Matt, who was in the house, heard the Jeep pulling out and saw it being driven away, but didn’t see White enter the vehicle or drive it. He said he saw the vehicle make a left turn out of their cul-de-sac street, in the direction of the Hyundai dealership via Greenstone Drive and McGill Road. “Every single morning, at the exact same time, she does the exact same thing. For me to think it was somebody else is completely false — it was her,” Matt said. “I’m 99.9 per cent sure.” The last time Matt saw Shannon in person was the night before she disappeared, on Halloween night

(Oct. 31) at about 8 p.m. when he took a bag of leftover Halloween candy down to her. “Everything seemed nice and fine and said hi and then I went back upstairs and that’s it,” Matt said. He told KTW he can’t say for sure if Shannon had any guests over when he last saw her, but he doesn’t think so as he didn’t see anyone when he went downstairs, nor did he hear anything that would suggest someone else was in the suite. Makayla Peverill is a close friend of Shannon and fellow member of the same off-roading club. She said she last saw Shannon in person on the night of Oct. 30, when Shannon visited for dinner and a drive to watch for Northern Lights.

Video footage sought From A6

The last time Peverill had contact with White was via Facebook message at 8:04 a.m. on Nov. 1, the day she disappeared. The two made plans to have White visit to do some work on her Jeep later that night and White’s last message confirmed those plans. Peverill said she has known White for two years. White was single at the time she disappeared, but Peverill confirmed she did have an ex-boyfriend, with whom White had issues, but they had been broken up for about a year. Police have been made aware of White’s former partner, Peverill said. “It was a very tumultuous relationship,” Peverill said.”It was not a very friendly breakup. As far as anything else, the police have been notified as to any specific incidents.” Peverill said White and her ex had “intermittent contact” in the year since they broke up, but White had not shared with her any recent encounters or com-

munications between them. Peverill said White has a large group of friends, noting she couldn’t speculate as to whether anyone would want to hurt her. She said her friend is extremely kind, outgoing and bubbly. “She loves her Jeep community and enjoys kayaking and playing pool at pubs and she’s very intelligent, an avid writer and she loves to read,” Peverill said. White, who is originally from Ontario, isn’t the type to run away regardless of the circumstances, Peverill said. Peverill said she was in contact with White almost every day and when she didn’t show up for work, both she and White’s boss immediately suspected something was wrong. They tried calling her, but White’s phone was turned off. Text messages weren’t going through and calls were sent straight to voicemail. Quinn said it’s not like White to disappear for stretches of time, noting she is normally regularly in contact with her landlords.

“If she was even going to be an hour late coming home from work, she would let us know and we would let her dog out for her,” Quinn said. “And if she was going to be away for any length of time, she usually told us too — whether she was taking her dog with her or not. Sometimes she would have a friend come over to feed him.” Police are asking anyone with information regarding White’s whereabouts to contact them, specifically anyone who may have seen her or her Jeep on Monday Nov. 1, or who may have residential, commercial or dash-cam video surveillance in the Lower Sahali, Notre Dame Drive and downtown areas. Police also want to find a pink flower that typically sits above the spare tire on the back of Shannon’s Jeep. The flower was missing from its spot when the vehicle was found abandoned on Nicola Street. Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

The search for Shannon JEEP CONVOY Shannon White is a Jeep enthusiast and has many friends in the off-roading community. Dozens of those peers will be taking part in a Jeep convoy this Friday, Nov. 12, to help raise awareness of White’s disappearance and, hopefully, generate information on her whereabouts. The Jeep convoy will begin at the Versatile Petro-Canada in Pineview Valley at 6 p.m. and wind its way through Aberdeen, Upper Sahali, Lower Sahali downtown and North Kamloops before travelling through Batchelor Heights and into the Lac du Bois grasslands. Jeeps will be plastered with photos of White, along with an appeal for people to call police at 250-828-3000 if they have information. GOFUNDME FOR THE SEARCH Friends of White are raising money to help pay for advertisements, to help her father travel to Kamloops and to help pay White’s rent in the interim. For more information, go online to gofundme.com and search “Help bring Shannon White home.”

I'm a Step-parent - am I financially responsible too? Did you know that a step-parent can be liable to pay child support for the child of their former spouse? Under the Family Law Act, a step-parent may have a duty to pay child support if they have contributed to the support of a child for as little as one year. The amount that a step-parent will be liable for depends on their circumstances, other parents involved, and their involvement in the child’s life. Amounts range from the fixed amounts determined by the Government’s Child Support Guideline tables, to nothing at all. A step-parent’s duty is secondary to that of a child’s biological parents, and whether you are a current step-parent, a step-parent in a recent relationship breakdown, or you are currently contributing to a former step-child’s support, you should be informed. If you have questions, contact our family law team - we’re here to help.

How full is too full in district schools?

n Sept. 28, I was privileged to present to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. I was honoured to represent the School District 73 board of education and district community to highlight the immense challenges we face within our district regarding our space crisis and lack of capital funding amidst rapid enrolment growth projections. The presentations from various school districts were brief, but we were each able to paint a picture of the issues our districts are facing. I emphasized SD73’s current enrolment pressures as we are growing at a rate of one mediumsize elementary school (250 students) each year and our available spaces do not serve our families in reasonably accessible areas in our

district. Accessible areas are in rural areas that have available space, but our enrolment pressures are in Kamloops. Given this reality, we highlighted that catchment area changes are our only strategy left, but they are not a solution. In making the catchment area changes, we are tempo-

rarily solving our over-enrollment pressures, but such changes are not favoured by some — and rightfully so. We are quite simply asking for help. We noted there are no clear and defined criteria that stay the same year-to-year for how capital funding is allocated. How can we meet the requirements to get projects on our capital plan approved? We asked for consistency and clarity. There appears to be no transparency when projects are approved provincially and, as education providers in our province, we asked the question asked to us by our community: How full is too full with respect to our schools? The committee was advised that we require provincial support to provide the type of educational environment our entire school community needs and deserves. We have known for a long time that

our district needs more schools, more classrooms, more capital funding and more support from our provincial government to make this happen. Our efforts have been recognized with the expansion of Valleyview secondary and the replacement of Parkcrest elementary, which was destroyed by a fire in September 2018. While appreciated, the two projects will not come close to addressing our district needs. During our consultation process for catchment area changes, the word “transparency” continually came up. The question — How full is too full? — needs to be answered in a clear, transparent way, one that will enable our board to share those criteria with our community. Only then will we be positioned to walk alongside our community to meet this bar.

Otherwise, how can we be transparent with our community? How can we provide information about our efforts to advocate for capital funding and how can we assure our community we are doing everything we can to create the best educational environment within our district? As a start, we can make our efforts visible and accessible. As a board of education and as a district, we will continue to advocate for new schools and more funding and bring attention to our crisis. We will continue to ask the province: How full is too full in our schools? Heather Grieve is chair of the SD73 school board. Her email address is hgrieve@sd73.bc.ca.

In Afghanistan, winter (and famine) is coming The first snow of the winter will reach Kabul any day now and the death rate will start to climb. It will be mostly children at first, but it will not really be the cold that kills them. The cold will only finish the work that malnutrition began months or years ago — but the other cause of their deaths will be a different kind of freeze. Most famines are really a direct and sometimes deliberate result of war, like the current blockade of landlocked Tigray by the Ethiopian and Eritrean regimes and the blockade of Yemen by Saudi Arabia and its regional and Western allies. But it’s the end of a war that is causing acute hunger in Afghanistan.

ANOTHER VIEW GWYNNE DYER

There was a drought in Afghanistan in the last couple of years of the American occupation, so many poor Afghans were already vulnerable before the events of last summer. But the proximate cause of the impending famine was the chaos of the U.S. evacuation in August. As the panic played out on American screens and the sense of humiliation mounted, the Biden administration made one thing clear: “Any Central Bank assets

the Afghan government have in the United States will not be made available to the Taliban,” said an administration official on Aug. 15. And with that famine became inevitable. It’s understandable that the U.S. government and U.S.-dominated institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund stopped pouring aid into Afghanistan after the Taliban took power. That posed a big problem for the new regime because foreign aid covered threequarters of public spending in the country, but it was hardly a surprise. It’s a whole different thing to freeze all of Afghanistan’s own money that is deposited with American and other Western banks

— $9.5 billion for the U.S. alone. It’s mostly unspent aid money the previous regime hadn’t spent or stolen yet, but it’s still Afghan money and it now belongs to the new government of Afghanistan — the Taliban. “The money belongs to the Afghan nation. Just give us our own money,” Afghanistan’s Finance Ministry spokesperson Ahmad Wali Haqmal said recently. “Freezing this money is unethical and is against all international laws and values.” But the money will stay frozen and soon winter will come to Afghanistan.

The unvaccinated seeking new clinic site HEALTH-CARE GROUP WAS EVICTED FROM ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION DUE TO A SUBLEASING ISSUE SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

After being evicted from their home shortly after opening, the unvaccinated health-care workers running a controversial new clinic are searching for a new location in Kamloops. The short-lived Ezra Clinic was started by Glenn Aalderink, a Kamloops nurse who has been behind many of the city’s antivaccination “freedom” protests, including a

Sept. 1 event outside Royal Inland Hospital, where he previously worked. Following an Oct. 26 deadline, unvaccinated health-care workers in B.C. now find themselves on unpaid leave, with a few turning to work at private alternative clinics that emphasize they are “non-discriminatory” with regard to a person’s vaccination status. Aalderink denies he is anti-vaccination. “I’ve been pro-rights and freedoms. I’ve never been anti-vax. I’ve taken every other vaccine — except for this one,” he said. Aalderink said heart disease that runs in his family, and he fears the vaccine more than the virus. “I am looking at this only scientifically and logically,” he said. Aalderink calls the COVID-19 vaccine an “experimental injection” and said he doesn’t refer to it as a vaccine because “it does not impart immunity.” While it is true that vaccinated people can become infected with the virus, data does show that those who are vaccinated are less likely to be infected and much less likely to be experience severe illness, be hospitalized or die from the disease. In a Nov. 4 COVID-19 briefing, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry presented the latest data on the vaccine’s efficacy. Using data from the month of October, Henry showed that unvaccinated populations are seeing 10 times as many infections as fully vaccinated people, are 50 times more likely to be hospitalized after being infected than vaccinated people and are 46 times more likely to die to the disease than the fully vaccinated population. The data was adjusted to account for age differences. But Aalderink seems to doubt the data and thinks the real figures are being hidden. “I would love to be able to sit across from Bonnie Henry and calmly and passionately talk about the numbers,” he said, noting he wants to ask Henry directly to “tell the truth about the numbers.” When asked about the value of vaccination and other measures in protecting the health-care system he previously worked in, Aalderink expressed doubt that COVID-19 is having a serious impact.

“ICUs are always full, though. Even before COVID, they were always full,” he said. In the past two months, the number of patients in the province’s intensive-care units due to COVID-19 has not dropped below 100. In October, the province averaged more than 130 ICU beds being used by COVID-19 patients. There are 510 base ICU beds in B.C. According to data provided by B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix, between 85 and 90 per cent of all COVID-19 patients in ICUs have been unvaccinated. “I’ve never seen that,” Aalderink said. “Here’s my point in this — if they were saying that legitimately and out in the open, instead of keeping all of these numbers hidden, do you think there would be so many people like me going, ‘Let’s see the numbers?’” The figures are reported daily via the health minister’s Twitter account. CLINIC CLOSED SOON AFTER OPENING Aalderink opened his clinic in the 500block of Tranquille Road in late October, but it was shut down shortly after due to a leasing dispute as the tenant in the building subleased space without landlord approval. Aalderink sees the endeavour as a way to alleviate pressure on the health-care system as a whole. “We want to help people find other ways to find wellness without having to resort to a doctor all of the time,” he said. As for his duties, Aalderink said he would

be advising those who come through his doors based on their vitals and reported issues, referring them to a doctor or other practitioner if it’s serious or performing minor procedures at the clinic, such as dressing changes. When the clinic first made headlines, the BC College of Nurses and Midwives released a statement saying it had the legal tools available to keep people from using any of the protected titles under the profession and prevent people from practising without authorization. The titles include nurse, registered nurse and nurse practitioner. “Nurses registered with the college are expected to practice within their scope and meet the standards set by the college. This includes following the orders set out by the provincial health officer,” a college spokesperson told KTW. Aalderink seems to have conceded his “nurse” title, despite still being registered with the college as a licensed practical nurse. “They can’t take away the ability to read a blood pressure machine or a blood oximeter or a thermometer and make educated decisions about what I’m seeing,” he said. “And you can get all of those tools at Walmart, so I’m guessing that’s not a proprietary thing,” he said. Aalderink anticipates it may be difficult to find a new space for the clinic and knows that even if he can get it established, he may be shut down once again.

Promoter’s death elicits outpouring of memories KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops promoter and entertainment entrepreneur Drew McLean has died. Through Kammerce Productions and other endeavours, McLean brought music, comedy and more to city venues for more than a decade — providing a stage for countless performers from Kamloops and beyond. In the wake of McLean's death, those who worked with him took to social media to express their grief and appreciation for all of McLean’s work. Among those making posts was the Effie Arts Collective, a recent project of McLean's to establish a new venue. In recent months, several comedians have taken the stage at the former Stage House Theatre in North Kamloops as the city continues to emerge from pandemic restrictions. "It was always his dream to own his own stage, where

he could support new talent and give a chance to anyone who wanted to try something on stage,” reads a statement posted to the Effie Arts Collective Facebook page on Tuesday. “He did more himself than most full committees and please bear with us as we find our way forward without his driving spirit. Our hearts are with Drew's family right now and it will be in his memory that we will continue to make The Effie shine and be what he wanted it to be." Kamloops comedian Sam Elliott called McLean an "amazing supporter of the arts and performers in general." "He gave myself and a lot of other young comics and musicians incredible opportunities and support, but mainly he was an amazing person and friend to everyone that knew him," Elliott wrote. Musician JP Lancaster, who worked with McLean as an

usually have more common ground with someone than you think," Lancaster wrote. Friend and business partner Aaron Shufletoski called the loss devastating. "Drew was there no mat-

David "Pup" Johnston, owner of The Blue Grotto, also weighed in via social media, likening McLean to a family member. "Drew's resumé of events in this town is legendary. He brought music and comedy to The Blue Grotto and many other venues in town. ‘Rising tides float all boats’ was a phrase he often used. A true realist. His word was his bond and he never missed the details," Johnston wrote. Daughter Cass McLean also acknowledged the loss on social media, calling her father "an amazing man, my best friend, role model and mentor." McLean's family has asked for privacy in wake of his passing, which occurred on Monday, Nov. 8.

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Frank Caputo is hoping to change Criminal Code of Canada wording and he wants to draw the attention of Indigenous Services as some of his first acts since becoming a member of Parliament. The Conservative candidate was elected in the Sept. 20 federal election, succeeding Cathy McLeod as MP. Caputo has drafted a private member’s bill that would change the words “child pornography” wherever the term appears in the Criminal Code to “child sex abuse material.” “It was something I thought was a small change that is reflective of our attitudes towards sexual offences,” Caputo said. He said children cannot give consent and the offence “should be called what it is” — the sexual abuse of children and not pornography, which he said implies the participation of consenting adults. “It’s been something that’s bothered me for some time,” Caputo said.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Frank Caputo

Prior to being elected, Caputo worked as a Crown prosecutor and the bulk of his work surrounded child sex-abuse cases. Caputo said its unlikely the proposed bill will come up when Canada’s 44th Parliament convenes for the first time on Nov. 22. His proposal will first need to be reviewed by his own party’s caucus and undergo a lottery system for private member’s bill — which rarely see the light of day in House of Commons. Meanwhile, Caputo’s letter to Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hadju tells of “a barrage of rolling boil water advisories” impacting the Whispering Pines/ Clinton Indian Band north of Kamloops.

In the letter, Caputo said the issue is a significant one that should be dealt with immediately, and he expects the minister will have a plan of action that it will share with the band. Caputo described government action on the boil water advisories as yet another opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to reconciliation with First Nations. “There is absolutely no excuse for the community to be facing continuous boil water advisories in 2021,” he stated in the letter. “Their community is located just a few kilometres outside of Kamloops, a major thoroughfare that connects to much of Northern B.C.” Caputo told KTW he expects the minister will respond, noting he first heard about the issue from the band’s chief, Michael LeBourdais, during the summer federal election campaign. • Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Caputo was handed the Opposition’s critic’s role as shadow minister for Veterans Affair and associate shadow minister for National Defence.

Marier: Sacrifice defines Canada SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

atthew Marier joined the Royal Canadian Navy to see the world and to serve Canada as best as he could. From fighting piracy off the east coast of Africa to anti-drug operations off the coast of South America, the experience of serving in the Navy can be a truly global experience. But the 39-year-old retired soldier, who now calls Kamloops home, considers both of those deployments to be fairly controlled compared to the time he spent in Afghanistan. “You feel like there’s very little control and you feel very vulnerable. Exposed, I would say,” Marier told KTW when asked about his time in the country. Marier had a 17-year career in the Royal Canadian Navy. His role in Afghanistan was a defensive one, guarding a special operations camp, providing escort duties and being responsible for captured fighters. “I would say it was more of a support role. We weren’t going out on patrol or those sorts of things, but when the fight came to us, we were ready,” he said. Love for his country and what it stands for is what drove Marier to join up. He made the decision knowing what the risks and sacrifices were before him. And, after Afghanistan, he also knew the meaning of those sacrifices. “I did my time over there. I didn’t, at the time, feel anything. I thought I was doing fine. We’d get hit with rockets or sporadic gunfire. At the time, you just react and let your training do its thing. You don’t think too much about it,” he said. “But then you come home and it does start having an impact. You start doing things you wouldn’t normally do. You start acting ways you wouldn’t normally act.” Marier said he went through a “really rough patch” after Afghanistan, losing most of his friends and people he cared for as he withdrew. “I had to rebuild my life from the ground up after that. I was lucky to keep my job in the military,” he said.

There wasn’t much time for him to do so, either. Just months after returning from a seven-month deployment in Afghanistan in 2009, Marier was redeployed elsewhere and felt that he didn’t have time to recover before going back to work. And Afghanistan was different from his other deployments. The level of exposure, he said, was extraordinary. “It does rough things to your head. There was a lot more control in other deployments,” he said. He recalled working with PUCs — persons under custody — and feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness and grief. He said he hated the Taliban, knowing how much they wanted to kill him and having seen the evidence of them killing others. But he also remembers Taliban fighters in custody who were merely farmers, whose families had been threatened in order to make those men fight. “You got the sense that they were just people who are in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said. Marier described the dichotomy as

Despite the risk involved and the ongoing after-effects of combat he still experiences and the despair and helplessness he encountered in Afghanistan, Marier thinks his endeavour in service of Canada was a worthwhile one. And those feelings remain, despite the renewed concern for the country following the United States’ chaotic and bloody withdrawal earlier this year — something Marier said he had to distance himself from due to negative mental impacts. While the last U.S. planes left Afghanistan in August, Canada’s exit from the country was somewhat less protracted. Its mission there ended in 2014 and combat operations wrapped up in 2011, focusing thereafter on education and health, security, regional diplomacy and humanitarian assistance. “Personally, I think Canada joined for pretty altruistic reasons,” he said. “Our country wasn’t attacked. We were trying to support our allies and do some good for the people of Afghanistan.” On Remembrance Day, Marier said he will be thinking about those whose sacrifices were of the highest order and what those sacrifices mean in terms of freedoms experienced in Canada. “I think what people don’t realize is that there are wolves knocking at our door. It takes people who are willing to sacrifice to make our country what it is,” he said. Marier referred to Canada as a “beautiful fantasy bubble” and a unique part of the world. His perspective is the result of what he saw in Afghanistan. “The rest of the world is not like this. You don’t get to say what you want. You don’t get to think what you want. Girls don’t get to go to school,” he said. Views on the Western intervention in Afghanistan vary, like all things political, and attitudes as of late have shown some consider it all for naught. But Marier doesn’t think so. He said he has seen how attitudes in the country have shifted. “I think that the people really got a taste for what life could be like,” he said. “And I really hope that helps them in the future and that one day they can again stand up to their oppressors.”

LifeLabs employees agree to new contract with employer KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

LifeLabs employees have voted to ratify a new collective agreement, which will include a 12 per cent wage increase over three years. The new three-year agreement is effective from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The BC General Employees’ Union issued a press release on No. 5 and stated highlights of the agreement include the wage improvements and a $1,250 signing bonus for all active employees. Pension plans, health coverage and sick leave were also improved, as was policy around health and safety and language around workload to deal with under-staffing. “After so many months of hard work in negotiations, we are pleased to see members ratify a deal that values and respects their expertise, their contributions during the pandemic and their goal to better serve the public,” BCGEU president Stephanie Smith said in a release.

“Through their solidarity and the strength of our union, these members demanded better and we’re so pleased with the advances they made in this round of bargaining.” The agreement extends to about 1,550 workers — couriers, phlebotomists, technical assistants, technologist and information specialists — at 94 LifeLabs locations in British Columbia. In Kamloops, there are four LifeLabs locations: two downtown, one in Aberdeen and one in North Kamloops. Only the Aberdeen location, at 1966 Harrison Way, is not unionized. The agreement follows strike notice issued on Oct. 19 that came after eight days of mediation and months of negotiations, according to the union. LifeLabs, meanwhile, said it had delivered “multiple, competitive offers” to the union, adding some concessions had been made. A BCGEU spokesperson earlier told KTW that LifeLabs wages were between 4.5 and 13.5 per cent below public-sector wages for similar jobs.

Kamloops man dies in crash on Highway 1 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A Kamloops man died in a head-on collision in Sicamous on the weekend. RCMP and other emergency personnel were called to the Bruhn Bridge on Highway 1 at 7:38 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6, for a report of a two-vehicle collision. Police say the preliminary investigation indicates an eastbound pickup truck crossed into the path of a westbound pickup truck.

The driver of the westbound truck, a 48-year-old Kamloops man, died at the scene of the crash, while the driver of the eastbound truck, a 52-year-old Alberta man, was transported to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. No names have been released. Anyone with information regarding the collision, including any dash-cam video, is asked to call the B.C. Highway Patrol in Revelstoke at 250-805-2111 and quote file number 2021-5409.

Decrim bid by B.C.

Fentanyl and its analogues have now been detected in 84 per cent of all illicit toxicity deaths in 2021. KTW FILE PHOTO

British Columbia has applied to remove criminal penalties for people who possess small amounts of illicit drugs for personal use — making it the first such province to take the step toward decriminalization. The province is seeking an exemption from Health Canada under Section 56 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

It is seeking to decriminalize possession if a person is carrying 4.5 grams or less of heroin, fentanyl, crack cocaine, powder cocaine and methamphetamine. “Substance use and addiction is a public health issue, not a criminal one,” Mental Health and Addictions Minister Sheila Malcolmson said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

More than 1,500 overdose deaths through September KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

B.C. continues to on pace for recording the most-ever overdose deaths in a single year. Latest data from the BC Coroners Service shows 333 people died n August and September as result of overdoses, bringing the total number of British Columbians lost this year to 1,534. In 2020, 1,736 people died from overdoses, which is the highest number ever. The 1,534 cumulative deaths are the most in the first nine months of a calendar year and represent a 24 per cent increase over the 1,240 deaths recorded between January and September 2020. In Kamloops, there were 15 such deaths in August and September. Through the first nine months of the year, there have been 50 overdose deaths in the city. Last year, there were a record 60 deaths in Kamloops. The provincewide death rate stands at 39.4 per 100,000 residents, nearly double the rate in 2016, when the public health emergency was first declared. September is the 12th consecutive month in which there were at least 150 deaths due to toxic illicit drugs and an average of 170 British Columbians have died each month in 2021. Both the 181 reported deaths in August and the 152 deaths reported in September are record numbers for those months. Fentanyl and its analogues

Red Nose returns — fully vaccinated MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you want a safe ride home this holiday season, you’ll need to be double vaccinated against COVID-19. That’s the policy of Operation Red Nose, the squad of volunteer drivers that get people and their vehicles home safe during Christmas party season, while raising money for athlete development in the region. Operation Red Nose is making a return in 2021, with protocols in place, after being parked in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year ,all volunteer drivers and people accessing the service must have both COVID-19 shots to participate. Program co-ordinator Elsa

Poppleton told KTW the vaccination status of volunteers will be checked at headquarters and drivers, in turn, will be instructed to check the vaccine status of passengers they pick up. “That’s a strict protocol we implemented to ensure we could be back fully this year,” Poppleton said. Anyone who calls for a ride who isn’t double vaccinated will not be given a lift home. Dispatchers will ask the caller ahead of time if everyone entering the vehicle is double vaccinated. Hopefully, Poppleton said, everyone will be truthful. “If we do arrive to the house or party, you will be required to show the double vaccination and, if you don’t have it, then we’ll be calling a cab or giving you an alternate way to get home safely,”

Poppleton said. Both drivers and passengers will be required to wear masks in the vehicle and cleaning guidelines will be in place. “The dashboard and steering wheel will be sanitized every ride,” Poppleton said. No passengers will be allowed to ride shotgun and keeping the windows cracked open will be recommended for improved ventilation. The service is available by donation and all funds raised will

While some cities are opting for just an awareness campaign this year — as was the case in 2020 — Poppleton said local Red Nose organizers feel they have the

protocols in place to enable a safe return of the program. There is demand for the service in Kamloops. In 2019, Operation Red Nose provided more than 1,200 rides in the city, the most in B.C. and 16th-most across the country. That year, the program had 235 volunteers, but this year it hopes to recruit 250 people for positions such as designated drivers, escort drivers, navigators, phone operators and dispatchers.

At least two more shelters needed in city In July 2020, Memorial Arena was transformed into a shelter for the homeless during the pandemic, with pods on the playing surface, but it was not used through the summer. Today, the arena is being used by the homeless as a shelter. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Homeless people are sleeping outdoors and shelters are overcapacity as work continues to secure additional spaces in time for winter. “We need more shelter beds,” said Alfred Achoba, executive director of the Kamloops chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association. “The last few weeks we’ve opened overflow. That’s when individuals can come into our shelters and we go up over capacity — and we’ve been full all night.” The city receives a daily report on shelter numbers. Mayor Ken Christian said he anticipates between 70 and 100 people are being turned away from shelters each night. The city’s social, housing and community development manager, Carmin Mazzotta, said the city is short 90 shelter spaces. Last week, the province issued a press release stating it has 70 temporary shelter spaces in Kamloops, including 50 spaces via a temporary emergency shelter at Memorial Arena and 20 spaces at The Mustard Seed. Additionally, Emerald Centre has 40 beds. All are downtown. The April point in time count noted 206 people on the streets in Kamloops. Christian said at least two more shelters are

needed this winter. Achoba said the shelters would fill up the day they opened. “We’re anxious to find additional spaces,” Christian said. BC Housing senior communications advisor Sophie Carrigan Gray said BC Housing recognizes “urgent need” for supportive housing and shelter options in Kamloops. Mazzotta said the city has provided locations to BC Housing for consideration and he anticipates announcements in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the hockey community has been vocal about its desire to play again at Memorial. Last year, BC Housing leased the Kamloops Curling Club as curling ceased during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, however, curlers returned to the rink and hockey teams also want their ice back as they travel out of town due to limited ice times.

Mazzotta said the city intends to see Memorial Arena return to recreational use this winter, provided BC Housing secures alternate shelter spaces. “As soon as we have adequate spaces available to house and shelter everyone currently sleeping outdoors, we will work with the city to return the arena to the community for recreational use,” Carrigan Gray said. Christian noted that, while he has sympathy for those who travel out of town for hockey, the alternative is throwing an additional 50 people into the cold. “I’m not amenable to that, nor is council,” Christian said. Mazzotta said the city is conducting a land-use analysis looking at potential shelter and supportive housing sites across the community. The city will map out under-utilized sites that could be utilized for permanent locations, considering factors

like available amenities and avoiding over-concentration. A shelter location in recent years was the former Stuart Wood elementary building, which remains vacant. Christian said it is challenging to find shelter locations because of requirements around COVID-19 restrictions, washrooms, showers, storage, food preparation and more. He added that the city does not want one large shelter facility and prefers smaller facilities in various areas of town. Christian said larger facilities lead to social problems and shelters should be assimilated into neighbourhoods. “Their [BC Housing] concern is that it costs them more to run smaller,” he said. Achoba said while services are currently available on the South Shore, a shelter is also needed in North Kamloops. But shelter is not a long-term

solution and Mazzotta said supportive housing and affordable rental housing is also needed in Kamloops. Several projects are under construction or in the works, including seniors housing at Sixth Avenue and Victoria Street, seniors housing across from the Maverick Motor Inn in Aberdeen, seniors housing in the Lightwell project on St. Paul Street, youth housing on Tranquille Road, Métis housing downtown, affordable workforce housing on Tranquille Road for workers and people with disabilities, affordable rental housing beside the RCMP detachment downtown and redevelopment of Glenfair, near Peterson Creek. In the meantime, Christian said people without shelter in Kamloops wind up sleeping in back alleys and on riverbanks. Achoba said people also sleep behind his office on Victoria Street West and in front of Kamloops Curling Club, noting the province must find solutions. “We need to be able to act quickly because time is not on our side,” he said.

The Webster Awards ceremony is the annual hallmark of journalistic excellence in British Columbia. Kamloops This Week was a finalist in two categories. KTW reporter Jessica Wallace won in the Excellence in Community Reporting category for her series of stories in early 2020 that detailed spending at the ThompsonNicola Regional District. The stories led to an RCMP criminal investigation that is ongoing, a TNRD board decision to have a forensic audit undertaken by a third party and wholesale changes to spending policies at the regional district. Wallace’s series of stories detailing spending at the regional district can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com by searching “Spending at the TNRD.” Wallace competed against Tori Marlan,

Jimmy Thomson and Brishti Basu of the Capital Daily for their story, Rape allegations connected to a popular bar lead to a reckoning for Victoria’s restaurant culture, and Dustin Godfrey of Burnaby Now for his story, The Last Pin Topples. KTW editor Christopher Foulds was a finalist in the Commentator of the Year/City Mike Award category for columns penned between June 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021. Foulds competed against Globe and Mail columnist Gary Mason and Victoria TimesColonist columnist Les Leyne. Leyne took home the prize. Kamloops This Week

has had numerous previous Webster Award finalists and four previous Webster Award winners. Marty Hastings won in the Community Reporting category in 2020 for his story about the tragic death of 25-year-old Kamloops resident Brady Dalke. Jessica Klymchuk won in the Community Reporting category in 2016 for her feature series, Transcendent: When Darrin became Deanna. Tim Petruk won in the same category in 2009 for his feature, Targeting Teens Within Seconds. Dale Steeves won the 1998 Jack Webster Award of Distinction for his Stalking Series. This is the 35th year of the Webster Awards, named after legendary journalist Jack Webster. Submissions are encouraged from print, radio/ podcasts, television and online media sources that cover news, sports, the arts, business, community issues and more.

Death reported in latest COVID-19 outbreak at RIH MICHAEL POTESTIO

LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

One person at Royal Inland Hospital has died from COVID19 in the latest outbreak of the virus at the facility this year. In an emailed update on Monday, Interior Health said there has been one death connected to the outbreak, which was declared in unit 5 South, a general medical ward that contains all types and ages of patients. As of Monday, 25 cases have

been detected in the outbreak — 19 amongst patients and six amongst staff, according to the health authority. The death involved a patient, though Interior Health, citing privacy concerns, said it could not release information on age, vaccination status or whether the person had any co-morbidities. The outbreak was declared on Nov. 2 with 19 cases and grew by two over the weekend from Friday’s (Nov. 5) reported total of 23 cases. It is the fourth outbreak at

RIH since the onset of the pandemic. Previous outbreaks occurred in units 6 South and 6 North. The first was declared in January and lasted for 31 days. It resulted in 105 cases among 69 staff members and 36 patients. Four patients died. Twelve cases resulted from the other two outbreaks combined. Throughout the four outbreaks, Interior Health has maintained it is safe to visit the hospital for regular appointments or

emergency room visits. Meanwhile, an outbreak at Gemstone Care Centre in Brocklehurst care home, declared on Nov. 1, has grown to six cases — four patients and two staff — from an initial two cases. Another COVID-19 outbreak in Brocklehurst, declared at Overlander Residential Care on Sept. 19, was declared over on Nov. 2. That outbreak claimed five lives and grew to 28 cases — 21 residents and seven staff members.

The new patient-care tower at Royal Inland Hospital will be named after Phil and Jennie Gaglardi, following the largest-ever donation to the RIH Foundation and Interior Health. The RIH Foundation has been working to raise money for the hospital project and the Gaglardi family’s gift of $15 million leaves about $10 million left to raise to reach the goal of $35 million to buy hospital equipment in the tower, which is expected to open next July. Phase one of the RIH redevelopment project includes the Phil and Jennie Gaglardi Tower, including a new main hospital entrance and operating rooms, mental-health and substance-use inpatient unit, a rooftop helipad and a new maternal and child services ward. Phase two will include renovation and expansion of the emergency department, a post-anesthetic recovery unit and new paediatric unit. Andrea Gaglardi said the need for the project to come to fruition spurred the donation as Kamloops is a sentimental place for her family. Her father and grandparents called it home and family members still visit often and own a number of businesses locally. “We thought we should be a part of it and we needed to help and I’m really pleased we did because, in the last two years, the world has changed,” Gaglardi said. The new tower’s name honours her grandparents, Phil and Jennie Gaglardi, who were longtime Kamloopsians and Pentecostal ministers. Phil Gaglardi was mayor of Kamloops, a Social Credit MLA and longtime highways minister who earned the nickname “Flyin’ Phil.”

His grandson is Tom Gaglardi, majority owner of the Kamloops Blazers. The Gaglardi family also owns Northland Properties, which has various properties, including the Sandman Hotels and Moxies, Shark Club and Denn’ys restaurant chains. RIH Foundation CEO Heidi Coleman said the foundation has raised about $26 million to date following the Gaglardi family donation. The fundraising campaign remains open until 2023 and Coleman encourages anyone to make a donation to their hospital. She said the eight-figure donation from the Gaglardi family was calculated based on other naming rights donations and square footage. The new building is expected to help RIH attract new physicians and retain existing doctors and other health-care professional. RIH chief of staff Todd Ring said potential new staff want to work in a state-of-the-art facility and are used to certain equipment and space seen in other hospitals, noting current employees want the same. “And that is what we’re trying to outfit this hospital with, which is why it’s so important the get the generous support of our donors,” Ring said. Nancy Garrett-Petts, a nurse at RIH for more than 30 years, said the new building could not be coming at a more opportune time, given staffing shortages, recruitment challenges, over-capacity and staff fatigue. “These challenges are very real and felt deeply, but this new facility has the potential to energize and inspire,” GarrettPetts said. Features such as the new operating rooms are expected to enhance existing services like cancer surgeries, while inpatient units will keep trauma and stoke patients in dedicated cohorts, with large, single-patient rooms.

A Kamloops man who formerly coached youth sports is facing three charges of sexual offences with underage complainants. The man cannot be named

due to a court-ordered publication ban protecting the identity of victims under the age of 18 in connection with an offence committed by an adult. Court documents obtained by KTW state the man is charged with internet luring, sexual interference and sexual assault for

offences that allegedly took place between 2017 and 2019. It is not clear if the man’s position as a coach played a role in the alleged offences. The man is no longer coaching youth sports. His next court date is expected to be Nov. 12 to elect a mode of trial.

Dig It: Examining archaeology of the forest ABBY WILSON

SPECIAL TO KTW

hen many people think of archaeology, they think of large excavations and activities that involve the ground — digging, trowelling and uncovering history below us. In British Columbia, a lot of archaeology done is a result of industry and one industry many archaeologists work in is forestry. When a forestry company has blocks it plans to harvest, one of the steps it must take before it can begin is to involve cultural heritage organizations. Crews usually consist of an archaeologist and members of local First Nations. Maps will be acquired and archaeologists will do background research to find registered sites in the area of work, if present, and make a plan. The crew will then visit the blocks and do ground survey. This is called a preliminary field reconnaissance, or PFR. This entails crew members walking the cut block in transects of specific, but variable, distances, depending on the requirements or desires of the organization. Sometimes the blocks have been previously harvested and are easy, casual walks in the forest. Other times, the blocks have heavy deadfall due to beetle infestation-killed trees, poor forest management or many other reasons. Forestry work involves hiking many kilometres a day in remote areas, with obstacles such as

wildlife, danger trees and old forest service roads no longer passable. While in the forest, the crew is looking for culturally modified trees, or CMTs. They can be trees with various stages of scarring left from the past, when Indigenous peoples would cut into them for a variety of reasons — marking trails or harvesting bark, for example. In the B.C. Interior, old growth trees have mostly been harvested and, therefore, unfor-

tunately, so have many of the CMTs. According to the Heritage Conservation Act, CMTs must be culturally modified before 1846 to be deemed protected. There are various methods used to try to deduce the age of the tree and time of modification; using an increment borer can give the archaeologist an accurate age. The crew is also looking for surface artifacts (which are exciting, but can be rare to find on the forest floor due to a lack

of surface exposure), cultural depressions or landforms with archaeological potential. Cultural depressions can identify a house pit, cache pit or fire pit, depending on the shape and features of the depression. Landforms of archaeological potential can be anything from breaks in slope, where someone would like to sit and work on a stone tool while hiking, to a low-lying terrace beside a creek, where someone could spend time fishing and having a fire, to a high ridge with rocky outcrops, where someone could watch over the valley, looking for animals to hunt. The crew will identify the areas or trees within the cut block deemed to have archaeological significance and will generally recommend avoidance as the method of mitigation. In many cases, the forest company will exclude those areas from the final harvest plan. If the company chooses not to, it

would need to obtain a Heritage Conservation Act permit to then explore the areas with an archaeological impact assessment to identify and evaluate sites. Hiking through the forests can be a fun way to spend the work day, imagining how the land may have been used in the past and finding clues to point us there. If you are ever hiking in the forest and you see an artifact lying on the trail, leave it where it is. Take a location identifier and contact the B.C. Archeology Branch as you may have just discovered a new site. Abby Wilson is an archaeologist in the Kamloops area. Interested in more? Go online to republicofarchaeology.ca.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Erin Mutch, the digger, and Katie Ludvig are outnumbered on this year’s TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball incarnation — veterans on a rookie-heavy outfit.

Katie Ludvig is among the few remaining veterans, a holdover from a bygone TRU WolfPack era, a leftover cog from a wheel that rolled the program to new heights. “We built something very strong,” said Ludvig, the graduating libero from Kamloops. “To not see the reward really pay off in a competitive setting was frustrating, but that doesn’t really take away from the legacy they left here and the things we still carry from that group.” See IT’S DEFINITELY, A25

SEMI-PRO SOCCER COMING TO KAMLOOPS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ivers FC will join seventeam League1 BC, a semipro BC Soccer Association circuit, in time for its inaugural season in 2022. Club general manager Keith Liddiard piloted a press conference held on Friday at Thompson Rivers University to introduce the club, which will feature men’s and women’s teams. Mark Pennington will coach the women’s side, with John

Antulov in charge of the men. Pennington and Antulov are the TRU WolfPack women’s and men’s soccer coaches, respectively.

League1 BC fills in a gap between amateur leagues such as the Pacific Coast Soccer League and the top-tier national circuit, the Canadian Premier League. The league is pegged to be a springboard for Interior athletes aspiring to join the TRU ranks and WolfPack players aiming to ink professional contracts. Antulov said Rivers FC instantly becomes a major recruiting tool for the WolfPack, who can tout a path to the pro ranks, including the CPL and Major League Soccer, that runs through TRU. “When potential players are looking at programs to go to, they want to see a structure in

place and they want to see allyear-round football,” Antulov said, noting WolfPack players are able to toil for Rivers FC during the Canada West off-season. “We’re able to give that to them now. And I think there are some more good things coming down the pipe in the coming year that are going to add to what we’re doing.” Antulov opted not to reveal the news he teased. BC Soccer director of operations Gabriel Assis, who will oversee L1BC operations, said talk of creating the semi-pro circuit began about six years ago and the product is set to debut at an ideal time, with the women’s and men’s national teams

reaching new heights and World Cup action coming to Canada in 2026. “With women’s soccer, there’s not really much after university,” said Camryn Curts, a midfielder for the WolfPack women’s soccer team. “Most people kind of gravitate and go to the states if they want to move up. It’s good to have that semi-pro team here to maybe draw players in and see if they can play here after or during university in the summer.” Premiere Ligue de soccer du Quebec and League1 Ontario operate at the same semi-pro level as League1 BC.

“There is an ability to pay players,” Antulov said. “It gives us the opportunity to bring in a couple of professional players to try and keep the team as strong as possible. “If you look at what’s happening in League 1 in Ontario, also in Quebec, those teams are now able to play in Canadian championships against MLS teams, CPL teams, so there is that opportunity through BC League 1. You may have to bring in a guy here and there. We’re probably not there yet.” Rivers FC is run by a non-profit society and has a nine-person board of directors — president Nick Rinaldi, vice-president Paolo Munegatto, secretary Domenic Comita, treasurer Tom Calne, director Victor Lizzi, director Jason Fawcett, director Curtis Atkinson, director Matt Milovick and

director Robyn Hollas. “There are different groups that have put up sponsorship money to allow it to operate,” said Rinaldi, noting ticket sales and sponsorship dollars are key to the financial model. “It’s very community based.” Dino Bernardo is the team consultant. TSS Rovers of Burnaby, Vancouver Whitecaps and Rivers FC will be joined by four more expansion teams, which will be revealed in the coming weeks. Players of any age

and from any part of the province are eligible to play for Rivers FC, which has two potential home sites — Hillside Stadium or McArthur Island Field 2 (with enhancements). Liddiard said Rivers FC plans to draw mostly from the Kamloops-and-area region. The club’s colour scheme — Thompson Okanagan blue and Okanagan sunrise (a hue of orange) — and logo were designed by an independent research group that has CPL connections, Rinaldi said. “Like the Rivers themselves, the club hopes to connect to the region while adopting some of the virtues that define both arms of the Thompson — strength, speed, at times beauty and sometimes danger,” a club press release said. League play is scheduled to begin next May and run through July.

to the CHL team of the week, is 9-1 this season, with a goals-against average of 1.91, .925 save percentage and two shutouts. The B.C.

‘IT’S DEFINITELY A BRAND NEW TEAM’ From A23

The 2019-2020 WolfPack cracked U Sports top 10 rankings and reached the conference bronze-medal match (losing in straight sets to Mount Royal in Calgary), both accomplishments firsts for the Canada West program established in time for the 2005-2006 season. All but one player was to return for the 2020-2021 campaign, the season that was likely to produce the strongest team in program history — the season that was scuttled amid the pandemic. Seven members of that group are gone, including several of the most prolific players in program history — Kendra Finch, Olga Savenchuk and Kseniya Kocyigit. Eleven first-year players are on the 2021-2022 roster. “It’s definitely a brand new team,” said Grimm, whose club lost valuable experience when returning middle Elizabeth Rose Reimer suffered an off-season injury that will sideline her for the year. “I know there is going to be struggles, ups and downs, but I also know we’re going to grind and compete and learn how to survive in this league.” Learning lumps No. 1 and No. 2 were

administered by the defending Canada West champions, the Trinity Western Spartans, who glided to a pair of straightsets victories over the Pack last weekend in Langley. TRU (0-2) will host its home-opening tilts this weekend against the UBC Okanagan Heat (2-0) of Kelowna, with match times set for 5 p.m. on Friday and 2 p.m. on Saturday at the TCC. Grimm put together the program-best team, which repaid him in results that offer recruiting clout, drawing power he used to woo foundation for the future. First-year setter Brooklyn Olfert of Winnipeg is among the promising rookies who will make their home debut this weekend. “We have a lot of young players, but we actually mesh really well,” said Olfert, who will learn under starting setter Anastasiia Muzyka, a Canadian national team prospect. “I think we’re a pretty strong team, middle of the pack with room to move up.” TRU’s pandemic-affected schedule will feature only opponents from B.C., with four matches apiece against Trinity, UBC Okanagan, Fraser Valley and UBC. Muzyka and Ludvig are both dealing

with injuries and their playing status for this weekend is up in the air. “Is our laundry list longer than it was maybe last year? Of course it is,” Grimm said, noting he feels for the graduated ladies who disassembled without opportunity to pursue potential. “And that’s a lot of inexperience, not only on the court but getting used to life away from home.” Turkish recruit Seray Altay, an outside hitter from Istanbul, will make her home-court debut and is expected to provide consistency for a team that looks nothing like it did on Feb.15, 2020 — the last time it took the TCC floor for a regular-season matchup. “The TRU team as I know it has definitely come and gone now, but Chad does a good job of recruiting hard-working, good teammates,” Ludvig said. “It’s been quite the journey.”

The Kamloops Storm suffered a pair of losses on the weekend at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Revelstoke edged Kamloops 3-2 on Friday. Jayden Russell and Peyton Kelly tallied goals for the Storm in support of goaltender Colton Phillips-Watts, who stopped 25 shots in a losing effort. The Summerland Steam topped Kamloops 5-2 on Saturday. Evan Clark and Kyle Sanford found twine for the Storm, whose goaltender, Cody Creasy, made 17 saves.

Try It! Footbag & Jianzi

Ages:7-12

Join us a try out these non-traditional and multi-cultural sport games Footbag (Hacky Sack) and Jianzi. These games focus on mobility, agility, balance, and coordination that allow you to keep up sports and focus on skill development. The purpose of these games are to keep the ball or object suspended in the air. Jianzi, dating back to over 1000 years, is known as the feather, disc or ring kicking sport that originated from China.

Head coach Cleve Maartman and his Westsyde Blue Wave needed a victory last Wednesday to clinch a playoff spot, squaring off against the South Kamloops Titans in AA junior varsity B.C.

receiver on offence, made seven catches for 79 yards. He racked up seven tackles on defence and returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown. Kooper Groeneveld, a wide receiver/free safety for the Blue Wave, caught nine passes for 92 yards and one touchdown and tallied one rushing major.

MORE PICTURES & INFO AT: WWW.ROYALLEPAGE.CA/RICKWATERS Thank you to all our past and present clients for calling us for your real estate needs and referrals. We would like to introduce ourselves to those who don't know us. Marvin moved to Kamloops in 1976 from Prince George. After owning successful businesses, he decided to enter into real estate and 37 years later he is still working in the residential and commercial aspects of real estate covering Kamloops and surrounding areas. Jessica was born and raised in Kamloops. After living away for some years Jessica moved home and working at a financial institution. Wanting to do something different Marvin, her father, suggested real estate. For the past 11 years she has helped friends, family and new clients with all their real estate needs. With over 60 years combined of customer service experience between us both, we believe this provides us with a great understanding of communication, knowledge and dedication to all our clients.

January 15, 1975 to November 11, 2016

Patrick J. McLean It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Patrick McLean in Kamloops on October 31, 2021 at age 86.

Pat was a tree faller (also operated all machinery) for most of his working days with Ed’s Logging Co. (Ed Kashluba) in the Kamloops area. He quit logging in 1995 and semi-retired working as a part-time courier service for several years before completely retiring. He was a profound lover of the outdoors, camping, fishing, and a true nature enthusiast. Pat loved his family deeply and loved to play crib with his grand children.

Crazy YOU, my darling Chris with your • “Sports Illustrated” shirt, • Your revered Grandpa John (Jack) Hammon’s crunched cowboy hat • Orange Crush pop in each hand! We all burst out laughing With YOU -- and your SMILE that lit up the room!!! Mahatma Gandhi once said, “There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart.” A candle is always on, Love, Mom, Dad, Jeanne, Liz, Mike, Dean, Griff & Caitlin

To have you as my loving wife Was cause enough for pride No one could be your equal No matter how they tried My wife, our Mom, one in a million We loved you to the end We lost three precious things that day My wife, our Mom, our friend.

Love Dave and all your Family and Friends

We are grateful that you gave us so many special memories to cherish and want the world to know that you are forever in our hearts and will be forever remembered.

Love Your Family

The memories we made serve’s as a reminder for how blessed I was to have you in my life. May the winds of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear how much your loved and missed.

Always on my mind, forever in my heart Marie

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.

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of Despair

Edwin Stanley Robinson 1933 - 2021

Dad passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of November 1, 2021 in Kamloops, BC with his family by his side. He leaves to mourn his passing, his dear friend and companion Alice and her family, his children Shaun Robinson, Kelly Nystoruk and her children Chilton, Devon (Kim) Jacob, Jonah, Joseph (Kirsty), and step-daughter Sonja More (Brian) and their children Hailee, Keigan (Ashley) & Victoria (Dirk), step-son Savo Perazich, and his children Milan and Meleva and step-daughter Borka Rodrigue and her children Jovan (Kristen) and Nastasja. Ten great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews and cousins. Dad was predeceased by his father Albert “Shorty” in 1959 and his mother Violet “Tootie” in 1999, his first wife Edna in 1971, his second wife Olga in 2008, his brother Orrin in 2004 and his sons-in-law Peter Nystoruk in 2013 and Lincoln Rodrigue in 2021 Dad was born in a farmhouse in Pemberton Range on June 28, 1933. He grew up riding horses and tried riding in some local rodeos but decided he didn’t want any broken bones. He tried to take high school courses by correspondence, working on local farms and at sawmills to earn enough money for his books but that only lasted 6 months as he had to help his dad on the farm. After quitting school he went to work at different sawmills and logging camps for a while until he moved to the coast and worked at Fleck Brothers in 1952. In 1954, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force with the sole purpose (dad’s words) of learning the mechanics trade but as soon as basic training was finished the mechanics trade was closed. Basic training was in St. Jean, Quebec, he then transferred to Aylmer, Ontario where he took 8 weeks of safe driving and a basic mechanics course. This is where he took up bowling which became a lifelong passion of his. He also joined the canteen committee where he organized dances and other social activities. In October 1956 he was stationed in Whitehorse, Yukon and that was the end of his time spent in the Air Force. In 1957 dad went to live with his brother Orrin in Vancouver. In March of 1959 dad’s father passed away suddenly and dad took over the responsibility of caring for his mother. On November 28, 1959 dad met Edna Wilkinson and they married October 8, 1960 and settled in at Sapperton, BC, a neighborhood in New Westminster where both daughters were born. Dad spent the next few years trying to find a better paying job to raise his family. Mom and dad bought a house on an acre of land in Haney but mom was very sick and the medical bills were piling up on dad so in 1969, dad decided to move his family to Kamloops where the weather was drier for his wife who suffered serious lung problems and doctors recommended the move for her health. He made the trip up here first to find a job and came back to pack us and all our belongings and head to Kamloops. Dad began his long-term job at Balco Industries where he worked until his retirement in 1998. In the summer of 1970, we moved into our new home on Valleyview Drive. On December 12, 1971, 2 years after moving his family to Kamloops his wife passed away from long term lung issues. He was left with 2 small children who needed their mother and did his best to see they had someone to care for them. He was supposed to meet Olga Perazich on a blind date but the date never happened so he went to see her the next day and they soon started seeing each other every weekend. On Friday’s dad would take mom out for dinner and on Sundays, mom would have dad and his girls over for dinner with her family. They married on December 30, 1972 and a family was born. We grew up in that house on Valleyview Drive where mom and dad were very busy with their home of five children, two dogs, cats and a yard full of gardens and fruit trees. Once the children left home, mom and dad enjoyed many summers camping in the Shuswap. Eventually they chose to go their separate ways. Later, dad was blessed with Alice with whom he enjoyed many years together, taking lots of road trips with their dog Mya, sometimes into the U.S., bowling together, going to dances sometimes at the Legion where dad was a member and delivering newspapers. In his later years, dad was very blind, so much so that it interfered with his day to day activities so he moved into The Hamlets where he kept everyone on their toes. He still went to dances with Alice at The Hamlets held on Thursday evenings until that was no longer possible. Dad would meet up with residents on Sundays and they would have coffee and talk politics and gossip. Anyone who knew dad knew he loved a good debate, enter into one at your peril. He was a dedicated union man serving on the executive and bargaining committee at Balco. He loved country music and played the accordion. Dad shared with his family the things in his life that made him happy like reading, bowling, music, road trips in the countryside, politics, the history of this area, and having a good debate. Dad was an avid reader all his life so when his eyesight was dimming it was getting harder and harder for him to read as he became legally blind. It took some doing, but he was finally convinced (I won that debate) to start listening to books on CD’s but once he did, there was no going back. He loved it. Dad loved history and especially history of this area and read everything there was on that subject in our library. He loved dogs, it didn’t matter what breed, he just loved dogs and always had to have one. Our many heartfelt thanks go out to the team of The Hamlets, Dr. Cribb and to those in The Hamlets who gave him that extra time and care. To Tammy from the library who kept dad well stocked with talking books. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of your choice. A memorial service is being planned for spring of 2022. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Muriel Keller

Muriel was born December 19, 1938 in New Westminster, BC, the eldest of 2 children, to parents Marion Reid Gilley and G.L. Robson. Growing up she attended Queen Margaret’s Boarding School, and she excelled in English Dressage horse riding. In 1956 she married Merv, and in 1958 they welcomed their first of 3 beautiful children together. Though the marriage ended, the friendship never did. Muriel and Marian met in 1969. Muriel and Marian moved to Kamloops in 1971 to start their life and raise their families. Muriel enjoyed years working for Canada Post, the City of Kamloops, as a 9-1-1 operator, and the RCMP city detachment. She loved to do crossword puzzles, paint, draw, knit, and read, and she was still doing these things right to the end. Her favourite pastimes of course had been catching up with family and friends, travelling, having good food, playing cards, singing songs and dancing. She had a quick wit, a bright sense of humour, and a positive outlook on life that kept a warm smile on her face. Lifelong friends Denny and Joanne added years of fun and laughter, and Bonnie and Sandy’s friendship added a level of support that made several amazing trips possible - these memories were loved and would bring her smiles and giggles. The family would like to thank the staff at Overlander, Muriel’s home for the last year, and to the ER staff at Royal Inland Hospital for the loving way they handled her last moments with the family. A Celebration of Life Memorial Tea will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home on Saturday, November 13, 2021 from 11:00am till 2:00pm. Covid restrictions apply.

Gaetano maintained an important connection to Italy, and visited often. He loved spending time with his Italian family, most importantly his sister Maria, brother Massimo, and niece and nephew.

John Lucian Agassiz

August 5, 1932 - November 2, 2021

It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of John Lucian Agassiz on November 2, 2021 after a short stay at Kamloops Seniors Village. He passed away comfortably with family at his side following recent health challenges complicated by dementia. It was the family’s desire to re-unite our father with our mother at KSV after 53 years of amazing life in the same family home. John was born in Vancouver but spent his youth growing up in Kelowna. On his own since his late teens, dad had to grow up fast and took a keen interest in rowing with the Kelowna Senior War Canoe group where he met many friends, and had many fond memories of being a “man of the lake”. He is survived by the love of his life of 62 years (Rae) who he met in Kamloops in 1958 while mom was finishing Nursing School and they were married in October, 1959. John is also survived by his two sons Jay (Angel), Rob (Carolyn), his grandchildren Whitney, Vanessa, Graham, Julia, Amanda and Hailey (whom he was all so proud of), and seven greatgrandchildren. John was a dedicated employee of Kamloops Fire and Rescue (KFR) retiring in 1992 after a 31 year career at KFR that he truly loved. John started in the fire service in 1950 as a very young volunteer in Kelowna while working for an optical business grinding lenses. He later joined the volunteer squad in Kamloops where he lived at the fire hall before meeting Rae, and eventually was able to join KFR as a professional fire fighter in 1961. Dad took a high level of interest in industrial first aid and in the early days at Station 1, he was an active member of the KFR Ambulance team responding to calls throughout the area. John held positions in Kamloops Fire and Rescue as Lieutenant, Captain, Assistant Chief, Assistant Training Officer, and retired as Captain-Special Assignments Officer. “Captain John” was instrumental for creating the first city mapping systems for KFR ahead of the start of 911. John was founder of the Kamloops Retired Fire Fighters group and looked forward to seeing these close friends and catching up regularly. John was an accomplished outdoorsman and active partner in Tum Tum Lake Lodge for more than 50 years that he shared with lifelong friends. Dad had a hunting/adventure story to share for every corner of this area and loved tinkering on their Tum Tum cabin. A life’s worth of memories while enjoying “this is living!” with his closest pals, some of whom passed ahead of John and he missed them dearly. Alongside fellow KFR retirees, dad enjoyed multiple canoe trips on the Bowron Lakes, West Coast fishing trips, cross country skiing, as well as hiking the West Coast Trail. Dad aged well and kept up his physical, outdoor activities right into his early 80’s. He was an accomplished skier and skied multiple times a week as a proud member of the “Sun Peak’s Antiques” group where he cherished those friendships making early morning “first tracks”. “Safety John” had many talents; he could fix, build, or repair anything. He was a skilled carpenter, performed renovations, masonry work, as well as built the garage at the family home. In retirement dad would cut out the multiple wood craft patterns that Rae designed and enjoyed to paint, many proudly displayed by their families for every special season of the year. John and Rae were long time season ticket holders of the Kamloops Blazers and enjoyed being Booster Club members for many years. In his last years John dedicated himself to looking after mom, then visiting her at Kamloops Seniors Village as often as he could as she continues to battle Alzheimer’s. John was a loving husband and father, and a terrific grandfather. Till we see you again dad. The family finds peace knowing you are reunited with your good friend Don Vogel, having a scotch, and reminiscing about all your adventures. A Celebration of Life for John will be announced in the future. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

He came to Kamloops in April 1963 with this mother and three brothers. They joined his father and older brother to start a new and exciting life.

He became an entrepreneur in 1968 in the bricklayer, homebuilder, commercial building profession. He became semi-retired in his 40’s and was still working up until now. Enrico was very family oriented, always doing what he could for his children. The special relationship he had with this grandson was next to none. Joseph had the ability to make this grandfather smile and feel young again. Enrico enjoyed spoiling, laughing, and playing with Joseph. The garden that he and Rosa created each year was amazing and he was always so generous in sharing the fruits of his labour with everyone. Anyone who ever visited Enrico and Rosa we overwhelmed by their hospitality, no one ever left hungry. There was always homemade salami, soppressata, pasta, wine and the list goes on. Enrico loved hunting and fishing with his sons and brothers. Many wonderful memories were made during these sporting trips by all.

1948 - 2021

On October 23, 2021 our beloved mother Pam passed away peacefully and surrounded with love.

Captain John Liston Kininmont Sunrise - June 10, 1926 - Aberdeen, Scotland Sunset - October 25, 2021 - Kamloops, B.C. Captain John set sail on his final journey on a sunny afternoon with the clouds behind him and his daughter holding his hands. A loving and generous Gentleman he will be fondly remembered by family and friends for his love of dancing, his ever-ready willingness to help anyone, his gentleness and his dapper well-dressed appearance. Son of William and Jane (Liston) Kininmont and one of six children, John outlived them all by keeping fit and taking care of himself. As a youth, John joined the Sea Cadets in his hometown of Aberdeen and at the age of 14, boarded a ship to begin his working career in the Merchant Marine Corps striving for a career at sea, which he loved. In 1952, John arrived at Nanaimo Harbour, fell in love with the West Coast and made it his home. Starting as a crewman, John worked and trained to become better qualified and therefore better paid so that he could provide a good home and lifestyle for his family. Vancouver became his home port and after many years, he became a ship’s Captain and travelled up and down the West Coast of British Columbia for the last 30 years of his working career. In his later years of retirement, dementia and ill-health began to wear him down and despite being double vaccinated, John contracted COVID in September 2021 while living in his LTC residence in Kamloops. Although he recovered from COVID, his body was exhausted and too overwhelmed to recover completely and over a period of a couple of weeks, John’s health declined quickly. His daughter and son were able to spend precious time with him in his final days and nights. Sincere thanks goes out to the fine, loving staff at Overlander Care Home in Kamloops, Dr. Andrew Wynne and the friends and family who have been available to offer comfort and strength to the family during this sad time. Dad had a wonderful life filled with adventure and beauty, music and dance. He will be well remembered and loved by all who knew him. Dad, we know that you are already dancing up a storm with all of your loved ones who went before you! Captain John, son, brother, husband, dad, teacher and grandfather is survived by his two children and their families, daughter Lori Kininmont (Bob Attfield), grandson and granddaughter Ian and Cassia Thieves, son Bill Kininmont (Emily Han), grandchildren John, Leana and Emily Kininmont, ex-daughter-in-law, Shelley Kininmont and ex-wife Olive Kininmont. I Love you, Dad Condolences may be expressed at: www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Steven John Maltman It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our son and brother, Steven John Maltman. Steven will be dearly missed by his mother Patricia (pre-deceased by his father Ralph), his fiancée Irene and her daughter Amber, his sister Jodi and her husband Garry, his son Cody and his wife Megan, his nieces Kirsten, Erika and her fiancé Blake and his cousin Helen and her husband Denis. Also remembered by his Uncle Derrick and Aunt Jeanette (deceased) and his cousins Dana and Dave. Steven was born in Burnaby, BC but moved to Kamloops with his mom and dad at a very young age. He had a love of sports but hockey especially. He spent many years working at Coopers and then ended up with Quality Foods in Nanaimo, where he met the love of his life, Irene. There will be no funeral or celebration of life by the family at this time. Any future remembrances will be held in private with only immediate family and friends in attendance. At this delicate time the family request that there be no further contact with certain individuals who insist on acting on our behalf and insist they were a part of Steven’s life.

Steven touched many lives in his brief lifetime. Go in peace brother Bear.

Russell John Sutcliffe 1953 - 2021

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Russell John Sutcliffe on November 5, 2021, age 67. Russ is survived by his wife Joy McPherson; his daughters Lee Sutcliffe, Cari Sutcliffe (Robin Schoebel), Dori Sutcliffe (Bill Bilton) and Alli Sutcliffe; his grandson Roman Schoebel; his siblings Donna Griffith, Greg Sutcliffe (Janet), Sherrille MacKeigan (Larry) and Susan Fraser. He was predeceased by his brothers David, Rod and Stuart. A retired plumber/pipe-fitter of 40 years, Russ was born and raised in Moose Jaw, SK. He later moved with his family to Nova Scotia where he attended university, finally settling in Kamloops in 1978 with his wife of 45 years. Russ loved listening to the Rolling Stones (many times at an unreasonable volume), reading crime and historical fiction novels and caring for his many tropical fish tanks over the years. An athlete in his younger years, he loved all things sports especially football (Go Roughriders, Go Seahawks!) and the family cat, Schmoochy (even though he would never admit it). In the kitchen, his claim to fame was his Sunday omelet and his all day lasagna. He enjoyed time with his family and one of his favourite places to be was at the head of the dinner table; where, with a straight face he would regale the family with his many embellished stories that would always make the whole table laugh until they cried.

He will be dearly missed by all of us. In lieu of a funeral, a celebration of life with friends and family will be held at a later date. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Q. I hear you don’t charge for the urn. Is that true? A. Yes, that is true. You can buy an urn (our prices are very low) but most people choose the ones we give away. Why do we give an urn away? It’s simple: no one leaves in a cardboard box.

he annual poppy campaign officially began on Oct. 29, with the symbol of remembrance available at locations across the city and the proceeds from sales going to veterans’ programs. Poppies are available by donation at a number of retailers in Kamloops, including at tables set up at Aberdeen Mall, Northills Centre, Walmart, Superstore and Costco, among others. Funds raised by the poppy campaign are held in trust and go to veterans’ programs, including the PTSD service dog program, veterans’ transition program, the homeless veterans’ housing society, veterans’ medical facilities and generally toward veterans in need. “If a veteran comes to me and says, ‘I need a bus pass and a pair of boots to start a job to get me out of a hole here,’ we can help with that,” said Craig Thompson, campaign co-ordinator and past president of the Kamloops chapter of the Royal Canadian Legion. Thomson said about $80,000 is raised in Kamloops each year during the campaign. Even during the pandemic, the poppy campaign saw success last year. Poppies are available by donation and, new this year, four locations will have tapenabled credit card machines as part of a pilot project. Otherwise, donations for poppies can be made with cash. Wreaths can purchased at the Legion’s poppy office, downtown at 259 Seymour St. in Kamloops Square. Wreaths will be laid by Legion members prior to the ceremony on Nov. 11. Call 250-374-0623. With limited capacity for this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony, Thomson said he hopes people will embrace the campaign once again and appreciate the meaning of the poppy. “We would like for people to realize what the poppy stands for — remembering the veterans who went before us and the sacrifices they made,” he said.

ANOTHER PANDEMICIMPACTED NOV. 11 CEREMONY IN CITY KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Pandemic conditions have once again affected the annual Remembrance Day ceremony and the day will not be marked with the typically large public gathering in Riverside Park or any other cenotaph in the city. Instead, a limited ceremony will be held at the Battle Street Cenotaph for invited guests only, as was the case in 2020. Kamloops residents can view the annual fly-past on Nov. 11, with aircraft from Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake

(Alberta) flying overhead at 11 a.m. Kamloops Legion president Daniel Martin said there will not be a parade through downtown, nor will groups of military, police, cadets and first responders be present. The general public will not be invited to lay wreaths. Martin said 100 people have been invited to the ceremony and that is the maximum allowed this year, which is double last year’s figure. “We can only hope this will be the last time we have to be restricted in this way,” Martin said.

After serving in WWII Alfred began his career in Funeral Service and now 3 generations later we still are very proud of his service and legacy in our family Lawrence Schrader and to our country. Alfred ‘Alf ’ De Frane Owner/Operator 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops

REMEMBRANCE DAY

The poppy turns 100 This year marks the 100th anniversary of the poppy being used as the flower of Remembrance. According to the Royal Canadian Legion, in July of 1921, the Great War Veterans Association (which, in 1925, would unify with other Veteran groups to form the Legion) adopted the poppy as the flower linked to war veterans and the sacrifices made. Madame Anna Guérin (later christened The Poppy Lady from France), inspired by John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields poem, had an idea. She wanted to adopt the distribution of the poppy on Armistice Day as a way to raise money for veterans’ needs and to remember those who had given their lives during the First World War.

Since then, the Legion and its members have upheld the tradition of Remembrance. To celebrate this 100th anniversary, the Royal Canadian Legion has produced a commemorative poppy, a pin reminiscent of

the first poppies distributed after the First World War. The commemorative poppy — along with other Remembrance Day items that can be worn this year and in the future — can be found online at poppystore.ca.

For those who leave never to return. For those who return but are never the same.

FAITH

It’s a new way of ‘doing’ church When David Manuel came from India to Canada to study at a bible college, he had no idea that his postgraduation life would entail not

only living on in Canada, but establishing a thriving congregation of Indian Christian converts. “I had a strong feeling that the church exists for people from other faith traditions to come to know Jesus,” Manuel said. “The seed of evangelism of other nations began to germinate in my soul. Then the Lord opened the door for the opportunity to minister to the Sikh community in Abbotsford in 1980.” Manuel testifies that ever since, Jesus has been drawing people to himself through the ministry of the South Abbotsford Punjabi Church (SAPC). “The vision was that the Lord will prepare people from the Sikh community to become the best preachers to reach out to the people of their own culture and creed,” Manuel said. “I praise

God for this as I see this happening in SAPC.” Following his retirement from active pastorate, Manuel’s vision is now being furthered by one of his trainees, Lakhbir Bassi, now the lay pastor at SAPC. Bassi and wife Ramandeep have taken over the mantle of leadership, however sheepishly and in utter humility. Himself a Sikh convert, Bassi struggled hard against believing in a God because of his sufferings from an abnormal sickness. An amazing healing followed, helped by the spiritual ministrations of Manuel. “I want to be a

servant, not necessarily a (paid) pastor, in accordance with the Lord’s commission, ‘to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit’ (Matthew 20:19),” Manuel said. Like other religious institutions, SAPC had to go through its share of confusing and conflicting church life and witness on account of COVID19 restrictions. But in a message to his flock this past summer, Bassi issued a clarion call to them to defeat the fear of the virus by declaring the acrostic: Christ our victory in death.

Meanwhile, from a short distance, Manuel continues to watch conversions taking place among the Indo-Canadians as divine intervention — the deliverance from all manner of negative strongholds in their lives. Manuel still maintains contact with people of Indian origin through his TV and radio preaching ministries, bringing the gospel to people of different faiths throughout the world. “Although I am not now personally involved with SAPC, I regularly pray for this ministry and those in leadership by name and trust that the Lord who began a good work will bring it to completion,” he said. “My hope and prayer is for other churches to have the burden of evangelism, reaching out to people of other faiths the way South Abbotsford has. I also trust that God

Maybe one day we will have our own building.” Together, Bassi and Manuel said, they are learning from God.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, someone is appealing to your softer, more sensual side lately and you’re not quite sure how you feel about it. Showing emotions is not a sign of weakness. Enjoy the attention.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you’ve been tasked with motivating others and getting them on track, it may be a tough go of it. Despite your encouraging words, some don’t want to budge.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, identify those people who stick around even when the chips are down. These are the people you want in your corner to offer comfort and support.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

You are pushed up against a wall even though you are not up for any more pressure, Cancer. Find a physical activity to blow off steam and any pent up energy.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

LIBRA

NOVEMBER 10 - NOVEMBER 16, 2021 - Sept 23/Oct 23

Don’t be surprised if someone rubs you the wrong way this week, Libra. You don’t have to feel compelled to like everyone, but you will have to get along.

SCORPIO

It may be difficult to avoid internalizing the opinions of others, Leo. However, that’s just what you have to do this week. Brush off comments that get in the way of your productivity.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, get in touch with a distant relative or old friend. This person may be in need of company and a simple phone call or text could be just what the doctor ordered.

- Oct 24/Nov 22

It’s difficult not to take things personally when someone disagrees with you about something, Scorpio. Resist the urge to get into a heated debate. Focus your energy elsewhere.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a time for plenty of communication between you and your loved ones or coworkers. Listen and contribute to discussions as much as you can this week.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Capricorn, your slow and steady nature will be appreciated and acknowledged by others, particularly those who have been paired with you on a project.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may find out something surprising about your family that you didn’t know before. Even if it comes as a shock, delve deeper for the story behind the situation.

PISCES

- Feb 19/Mar 20

Emails are going back and forth, the phone is ringing off the hook and video conferences are booming. Try to find a quiet place to unwind, Pisces.
