TO UKRAINE, WITH HELP
Ian Matheson of Kamloops has been on the ground in the war-torn region since March 23 and intends to stay as long as he can lend a hand to those impacted by Russia’s invasion Volunteers gather at a refugee centre driver pick-up site in Poland. IAN MATHESON PHOTO

A
Kamloops man has travelled to Poland and Ukraine, where he is now helping deliver supplies and assist refugees fleeing the wartorn country. Millions of Ukrainians have fled their country since Russia’s invasion on Feb. 24, an assault that has left cities bombed, thousands dead and a massive humanitarian crisis amid the carnage. Ian Matheson, 36, has been on the ground since March 23, stationed in Poland near the town of Przemysl, which is located near the border with Ukraine — a little more than 100 kilometres from Lviv in Western Ukraine. Matheson, who has lived in Kamloops for much of his life, travelled to Poland to help out and has been networking with other volunteers and agencies to help refugees crossing the border, provide those fleeing with food and water and drive them to refugee

centres throughout Poland. Speaking to KTW via instant messaging apps, Matheson detailed some of his experiences during the past three weeks, having most recently connected with a group of other Canadian volunteers, with whom he purchased a van to deliver medical supplies into

Ukraine and ferry refugees out. Since he arrived, Matheson said he has made nine trips from Poland into Ukraine — five by foot and three by car — including a trip into Lviv, which is the farthest he has travelled into the war-ravaged country. He plans to visit Lviv again
this week, as well as the capital of Kyiv, from where Russian troops withdrew just a week ago, as the fighting has now shifted to Eastern Ukraine, where there are contested Russian enclaves. For his first Lviv trip on April 5, Matheson said he spent a few hundred Canadian dollars on

medical gear in Przemysl and dropped off the supplies at a reception centre in Lviv that is being used for medical stockpiling for frontline soldiers and to create camouflage netting. Lviv didn’t feel like a war zone, Matheson said, noting he heard air raid sirens twice, but no reaction was elicited from those around him. “Lviv is a paradoxical place to be as it’s a normal city with no overt signs of [a] war zone,” Matheson said. He added, however, there is a feeling of a war under that apparent calm, and examples of it around the town. At the reception centre Matheson visited, women were weaving fabric into camouflage netting. Around the city’s perimeter, he has seen stockpiles of Molotov cocktails. “It’s a little depressing seeing them have to resort to that,” Matheson said. See JOURNEY, A16

MP fighting Juno Beach condos MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Frank Caputo is adding his voice to Canadians trying to stop developers in Normandy, France, from building condominiums on Juno Beach —the site of Canada’s D-Day landing during the Second World War. The group Save Juno Beach is petitioning the federal government to ask the French government to stop the proposed development, believing such a project is an insult to soldiers who fought to liberate the country from Nazi Germany. The French property developer, Foncim, plans to build a 70-unit condominium development, dubbed Domaine des Dunes, on the beach, east of the privately operated Juno Beach Centre (JBC), which has been there for nearly 20 years. For the past two years, the museum has been locked in a legal battle with Foncim and a recent decision granted the developer access to a road JBC built on Juno Beach land it leases, so its construction workers and vehicles can access the site. The JBC said it generally isn’t opposed to projects like these on former battlegrounds, but said the impacts of the Dunes decision are a concern. The museum contends it is impossible to share the road without the construction trucks passing through and damaging the route, impacting the museum commercially and making day-to-day operations difficult. The museum also has safety concerns for its visitors and feels the traffic will hinder their own development works. The housing project is expected to break ground in September and take two years to build. Caputo, who is the Conservative shadow minister for Veterans Affairs, said he is attempting to get the project stopped, arguing it is a sacred site. He said he learned of the issue from multiple emails on the topic, which led to hav-

ing conversations with representatives of the Save Juno Beach group, the Royal Canadian Legion and the JBC. Caputo noted he has also spoken about the issue in the House of Commons and is looking into how the Canadian government can intervene. “As an opposition MP, I can only implore the government to do that,” he said. Caputo said he has spoken informally about the issue with Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay and is hoping to talk formally with him during a trip to France this week to commemorate the 105th anniversary of the First World War battle of Vimy Ridge. The JBC said it has informed MacAulay and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly on the issue and hopes it can “make clear to their French counterparts that the investments Canadians and their government have made with the museum and the ground it operates are now seriously at risk.” Those behind the Save Juno Beach campaign want the battlefield preserved for future generations. “‘Lest we forget’ has to be more than
just empty words,” the campaign’s website stated. On June 6, 1944, Canada’s Third Infantry Division landed at Juno Beach in Nazioccupied France, one of five landing sites of Allied troops in mainland Europe that sparked a turn in the Second World War. The Canadian division took control of the beach by the end of the day, with more than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landing or parachuting into France on D-Day. The Royal Canadian Navy contributed 110 warships and 10,000 sailors, while the Royal Canadian Air Force contributed 15 fighter and fighter-bomber squadrons to the assault. There were 359 Canadian soldiers who died on D-Day, with another 715 injured. • Meanwhile, Caputo is hopeful the federal government will act on a request he made to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland that soldiers and veterans be given free access to national parks and museums. “To me, it’s just a small token of gratitude to our veterans that really won’t affect Canada’s bottom line,” Caputo said.

Bepple to seek seat on city council DAVE EAGLES
STAFF REPORTER
dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com
A former city councillor will be seeking a seat on council in the October civic election. Standing in Kamloops Spirit Square on Tuesday morning, Nancy Bepple announced her candidacy for a councillor seat. Bepple gave credit to the current mayor and council, acknowledging it has been a challenging

time with many issues, adding now is the time for fresh ideas. Bepple announced four priorities of her campaign: housing, investing in livability, strengthening community and climate resilience. “I’m committed to Kamloops because I know it matters,” Bepple said. “Between now and October, I will continue to do what I’ve always done, which is to support others in the community, to help make Kamloops
a better place to live.” Bepple was first elected to city council in 2008 and was re-elected in 2011. She stepped down during her 2011 term due to health concerns. Bepple ran unsuccessfully as the NDP’s Kamloops-South Thompson candidate in the 2017 provincial election, at which time she was bested by BC Liberal MLA Todd Stone, who is the current Kamloops-South Thompson MLA.
Bepple has worked at Thompson Rivers University and writes an occasional column for the Armchair Mayor News, an online blog published by TNRD Area P director and former Kamloops Daily News editor Mel Rothenburger. The municipal election is scheduled for Oct. 15. For more information on Bepple’s campaign, go online to nancybepple.com or call 250319-2500.
Expanded patio season extended KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Restaurants, bars and liquor manufacturers have more time to apply to make expanded patios permanent as they recover from the pandemic. In June 2021, the provincial government announced it would extend existing temporary patio extension authorizations until June 1, 2022, to provide time for local governments to update their patio policies and for businesses to apply to make those areas permanent. The province is now extending the authorizations to March 31, 2023, to provide more time to make them permanent.

Mining conference returns after two-year lull MICHAEL POTESTIO
LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops region accounted for nearly a fifth of all mining projects in B.C. last year, experienced a few sky-high statistics and is seeing a boom in prospecting, attendees heard Tuesday during the opening of the first Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG) Conference in two years. Kamloops Exploration Group’s annual mining-related event returned this week after a pandemic-induced two-year hiatus. It runs Tuesday and Wednesday at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. Opening the conference was a presentation from Kendra Johnston of the Association of Mineral Exploration BC, who gave an update on mining activity in British Columbia. Johnston detailed highlights from the latest mineral and coal exploration survey for B.C., which AME conducts in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

“There are some fantastic numbers to report this year,” she said, noting $660 million was spent on exploration work, of which $220 million was spent directly on local communities. Of the 301 active mining projects across B.C. in 2021, there were 57 in the south central part of the province, which includes Kamloops. That’s a four per cent increase in the region over 2020 and comprised 19 per cent of all projects in B.C., Johnston said. In the numbers, she said, was also an interesting fact
about prospecting in the local area. “There was $637,000 spent on prospecting [and] it’s a 61 per cent increase from last year — but 48 per cent of those projects are in the south central region, so that’s very exciting to see so much prospecting happening here,” Johnston said. She said of that $660 million spent on mining exploration in B.C., $147 million was spent in the south central — a 22 per cent slice of that investment. That $147 million was also
112 per cent more than what was spent in the region in 2020, Johnston said. The region however, still pales in comparison to B.C.’s northwest, which saw $366 million in exploration spending in 2021. As for drilling work in B.C., there was 1.44 million metres drilled throughout the province, up 45 per cent from 2020. A third of that was done in south central B.C., with 462,473 metres drilled. That was up 118 per cent from the 212,010 metres drilled in the region in 2020. Across B.C. there was a 53 per cent increase in drilling for gold projects, 78 per cent for silver and 40 per cent for copper, while coal was down “significantly,” though Johnston did not provide the precise percentage. Johnston said permitting continues to be a major concern the AME hears about, but noted progress seen in the 2022 B.C. budget, with $18 million for permitting activities and $5.1 million going directly to regional offices for new hires and permitting process improvements.

Concerns about Joint Tenancy? If you're thinking about using joint tenancy as a cheap or "do-it-yourself" estate planning tool, you want to ensure you're aware of all the risk factors. Recent BC Court decisions have resulted in chilling warnings for parents thinking of transferring assets into joint names with children. For example, a mother had purchased a new home and added her son on title as a joint tenant. The son never lived at the residence, but he co-signed on the mortgage. A few years later, the son's business ran into financial difficulties and became insolvent. The Court found that the son had an equitable interest in the property, therefore 50% of the property value was available to the son's creditors. While joint tenancy can be an effective tool, it is important to be aware of all the risks. If you have questions, we’re here to help. Full article at fultonco.com/articles/

We are a team of community investors
T
here is one time of the year that causes council the most anxiety and secondguessing — when we set the annual tax rate. Our intent always is to provide the same level of service to our taxpayers without needing to raise the burden too significantly. This can often be an incredible challenge as we balance the needs of the community to what is affordable. In the past, when given the choice between cutting services or raising taxes, the overwhelming response has always been to maintain services, but keep the tax increase reasonable. During the past 10 years, our annual tax increase, on average, about two per cent. The tax rate all comes as a result of budgeting for the next
DIETER DUDY
View From
CITY HALL fiscal year. Much like a household, we have to determine what our fixed commitments are, then anticipate what they may cost over the prescribed period of time. Effectively, we ask ourselves how much will it cost to maintain streets throughout all the seasons? How costly will our policing and
fire services be? How big will our city payroll be? These are only a few of the considerations. Add to this the increased pressures of inflation, supply chain issues, trades shortages, etc. These all impact the amount needed to simply run the city at the same level of service to which you have become accustomed. We’re not done yet, though, because beyond what it takes to just maintain services, there are corporate and community requests, known as supplementary items, that also become part of the budget. These can be a request for another full-time employee to help on the technology needs of the city, a new mausoleum to meet the increasing demand for such space, surface restoration for tennis courts, upgrades to Norbrock Stadium, etc.
Many of the supplemental items can be funded by other sources of revenue and do not impact taxation too adversely. Once we have determined what the supplemental items will be, we can set the final tax rate. This year’s tax increase will come in at slightly under five per cent. Are we happy with that? Nobody is ever happy when it costs us more to get the same product or service with each passing year. Maybe, however, we’re looking at this through the wrong lens. When we own a home, we don’t refer to ourselves as homepayers. Even when we have large mortgages, we still refer to ourselves as homeowners. We have invested in our homes, emotionally, physically and monetarily. The cost of that investment goes up, down or stays the same depending on market conditions.
Rather than considering ourselves to be taxpayers, we should perhaps regard ourselves as community investors. Every road, sidewalk, sewer system, water delivery, park, etc. exists because we have invested in them. The city belongs to us because we have built and maintained it over the years, not just for today, but for our beneficiaries in the generations to come. We pay willingly to upkeep our homes because they are a valuable asset. By extension, we should pay to upkeep our city because it’s our most valuable asset. Dieter Dudy is a Kamloops councillor.

Assessing impact of the atrocities in Ukraine

our years after the Soviet Army fought its way into Berlin in 1945, Moscow built a huge memorial in Treptower Park to the 80,000 Russian and other Soviet soldiers who died taking the city, 5,000 of whom are actually buried in the park. Berliners instantly took to calling it the Tomb of the Unknown Rapist. As Soviet troops fought their way into the eastern half of Nazi Germany in the winter and spring of 1945, a great atrocity took place. “The Russian soldiers were raping every German female from eight to 80,” wrote Natalya Geese, a war corre-

spondent with the Red Army. “It was an army of rapists.” Russian film director Zakhar Agranenko, who fought in Germany in 1945, wrote in his diary that “Red Army soldiers don’t believe in ‘individual liaisons’ with German women. Nine, 10, 12 men at a time — they rape them on a collective basis.” Historian Antony Beevor estimated up to two-million German females were raped, many of them multiple times.

The atrocities that are now being uncovered in northern Ukraine as the Russian army moves its troops east are different in scale and in style. The number of civilians murdered in the occupied towns is in the low thousands at most and the rapes probably in the hundreds or less. There are few reports of gang rapes. Yet it is essentially the same phenomenon. The Russian soldiers were young, frightened and often drunk. No excuse. They had been lied to and kept asking villagers where the Nazis are. No excuse. They serve in an army that can’t feed them, doesn’t supervise them, didn’t
even make them get rid of the evidence before they left. No excuse. Russians are not evil. War is such an extreme situation that many evil things become possible and it is an army’s duty to prevent them from happening. The Russian army is too corrupt and incompetent to try, so its soldiers ended up with the unlimited, unsupervised power of life or death over innocent civilians. They flagrantly abused it and, in doing so, they have wrought irreversible changes in two countries — Ukraine and their own. See DYER, A10

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SUPERVISED SITE IDEAL LOCALE THE CITY OF NO OFFERS A NEGATIVE VIEWPOINT Editor: I am a very positive person and focus on the things I can control rather than worrying about what I can’t. I am supportive of change and work hard to understand the facts before striking something down as I am well aware change is almost always focused on making things better or addressing a problem. I feel quite alone in my way of thinking here in Kamloops. Are there others like me out there? I have posted online a few supportive comments on news stories about the proposed performing-arts centre and the city wanting to meet with CN Rail over impacts of train traffic on residents.
Shockingly, the toxicity and attacks I receive are astounding. One woman told me I must want people to be hit and killed by trains. I realize this is a terrible, angry person, but sadly, the other comments are not far off. I am coming up on 10 years of being a Kamloopsian and I am worried about our city’s future as a large proportion of citizens in Kamloops are hypercritical and overly negative about anything and everything proposed for our community. Sad to say, but our slogan shouldn’t be Canada’s Tournament Capital — it should be Kamloops, the City of No.
Editor: I am confused by Pat Carlson’s letter of April 6 regarding the new supervised drug-use location downtown (‘Decision needs to be reconsidered’). This letter is not only stigmatizing toward people who use drugs, but also comes on the tail end of a series of stories and information in KTW on homelessness and people who are homeless. Has Carlson learned nothing? The writer is assuming people who use drugs are bad people. They are not bad people; they have an illness. The mental-health and substance-use centre at 235 Lansdowne St. is the ideal place for a supervised drug-use site.
It will not only provide better access for people who use drugs to obtain their drug-use supplies, overdose treatment, if needed, and access to mental-health and substance-use supports, but it will actually draw them away from Riverside Park, Sandman Centre and other downtown areas and to a place for safe drug use. As a grandmother of a five-yearold, I much prefer this option to my grandson finding someone who has overdosed in a public bathroom in the park and him dealing with that trauma for years to come. I believe the picture we will paint for Kamloops is that our community looks at addiction as an illness that should be treated the same as any

TALK BACK Q&A: kamloopsthisweek.com We asked:
other illness Should we deny people with any other chronic illness, such as diabetes, the services they need? A supervised drug-use site, in my mind, is primary care for people who use drugs. Primary care is a safe place where physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, etc. provide illness assessment and referrals to other services. This supervised drug-use site will bring people who use drugs into a centre that provides assessment and referrals to all of those services, ultimately freeing up hospital and emergency services and saving lives.

Dyer:How can NATO now abandon Ukraine to a gruesome fate? From A8
For Ukraine, they have virtually eliminated the possibility of a negotiated peace with Moscow so long as Russian troops are on Ukrainian soil. Listen to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky speaking to Ukrainian journalists on April 4: “Ukraine will definitely not be what we wanted it to be from the beginning. It is impossible. We will become a ‘big Israel’ with its own face. [Don’t] be surprised if we have [soldiers] in cinemas, supermarkets, people with weapons ... Security will be issue number one for the next 10 years.” That’s Ukraine’s future — a ‘big Israel’ armed to the teeth and permanently awaiting the next attack. And Russia is stuck with the big lie for a generation. Perhaps Russians could find a way to apologize for invading Ukraine if they got rid of their dictator, Vladimir Putin, but it’s unthinkable that they will ever acknowledge how their army has behaved in Ukraine. They’re still denying what happened in Berlin in 1945. The new narrative is already in display in an recently published article by the state news agency RIA Novosti, entitled
are getting higher and “weThecanstakes no longer exclude the possibility that Russia will use poison or mini-nukes in Ukraine if it faces defeat in the conventional war.
”
What should Russia do with Ukraine? The author, Timofei Sergeitsev, explained that “Denazification is inevitably also De-Ukrainianization because the very idea of Ukrainian culture and identity is fake. “Ukraine, as history has shown, is unviable as a national state and attempts to ‘build’ one logically lead to Nazism,” Sergeitsev wrote. Even the name “Ukraine” must be abolished, Sergeitsev argued, and the country will become part of the Motherland after victory under the name Little Russia (Malorossia). Sergeitsev wrote that it will then require a strong military presence for 30 years to re-educate “the Nazified mass of the population, which technically cannot be subjected to direct punishment as war criminals.” Collaborators with the “Nazi regime” will be sentenced to death or imprisonment, Sergeitsev wrote, and everybody else will live happily ever after. Sergeitsev is not some
nutcase nobody. He was the political adviser to Ukrainian ex-president Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian puppet who was overthrown in a popular uprising in 2014 after he cancelled an association agreement with the European Union and instead started negotiating a trade deal with Russia. Sergeitsev may even be Moscow’s candidate for puppet ruler of occupied Ukraine once resistance is crushed. In any case, everybody now knows exactly where they stand, which means this war will go on until Ukraine is destroyed or Russia is defeated. The stakes are getting higher and we can no longer exclude the possibility that Russia will use poison gas or mini-nukes in Ukraine if it faces defeat in the conventional war. Yet knowing all this, how can NATO abandon Ukraine to its fate now? More Gwynne Dyer columns can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The Kamloops-Thompson school district has decided to pause its proof of vaccination policy pending further changes to public health orders and further information from BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA). In February, the board of education decided to implement a proof of COVID-19 vaccination requirement for all employees by May 9.

Ten youth detox beds to open in city in fall KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Interior Health has awarded a contract for five new youth detox beds at Phoenix Centre in Kamloops. The beds are expected to open this fall. This contract has been awarded to Kamloops Society for Alcohol and Drug Services to provide community-based youth detox services, housing and hospitality services in its Phoenix Centre facility. Interior Health said the tar-
get population is people ages 12 to 24 who are seeking help with withdrawal issues after stopping the use of alcohol and/or drugs. The five beds are in addition to a contract awarded in April 2021 for 10 youth substance-use treatment beds at a facility in Brocklehurst. The contract was awarded to A New Tomorrow Treatment Solutions, which is a partnership between Active Care Youth and Adult Services and Dr. Mandy Manak in Kamloops.
Those youth treatment beds are in a facility that formerly housed seniors under the administration of Active Care Services. Those seniors have been moved from the building. Another 10 youth treatment beds were also announced for Kelowna last year. “We are excited to support young clients in a safe and culturally relevant environment and implement a philosophy of care that is client-directed with a focus on developing strengths and resiliency,” Phoenix Centre
executive director Siân Lewis said in a statement. Detox, also called withdrawal management, provides shortterm medical supervision and support to people who are experiencing withdrawal symptoms related to the discontinuation of alcohol and some drugs. In certain circumstances, medical supervision is important because of the potentially serious health risks related to withdrawal. Those accessing the service stay in a facility with 24-hour
staff support from a multi-disciplinary team. In addition to medically supervised support for withdrawing from alcohol or other drugs, other services are available, including supportive counselling, substance-use education, daily programming, and referrals to relevant services. The Ministry of Health and Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions plan to add 123 new beds across the province as part of the 10-year strategy.
Overdose death toll continues in B.C, Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The province has recorded the most overdose deaths ever during the first two months of a a year, with 382 such deaths in B.C. in January and February. That puts British Columbia on pace to
exceed the record number of deaths, which were 2,232 in 2021. The same grim scenario is taking place in Kamloops, with 16 overdose deaths recorded in January and February, leaving the city on pace to far exceed the record 78 such deaths recorded in 2021.
Preliminary data released by the BC Coroners Service reveals that the toxic drug supply has claimed the lives of 9,410 British Columbians since January 2016. The provincial government declared a public health emergency six years ago this month.
Notably, while 74 per cent of fatalities this year were between 30 and 59 years of age, six of the lives lost in February were under the age of 19 after zero such deaths were reported in January. Fentanyl continues to be the predominant substance found in testing.

City’s top cop says VisionQuest dropping clients off in Kamloops JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky says VisionQuest Recovery Centre outside of Logan Lake is bringing clients to Kamloops and creating challenges for the local detachment. It is not the first time this issue has been raised. Lecky made the comments at a recent city council meeting, during which he was providing the city with year-end policing statistics. He said when VisionQuest clients — who are ordered by the courts to seek drug treatment, but cannot be forced into completing it — fail to complete their program, they are brought to Kamloops. “This is an ongoing thing and I’ve had people call me and talk to me about it, ‘You know, everybody needs a chance and they do need to get help’ and I agree. Everybody does need a chance and they do need to get help,” Lecky said. “I’m just reflecting the reality that if they fail or for whatever reason they don’t make it there, this is where they’re coming and it becomes the taxpayer of
the City of Kamloops that is largely having to bear the brunt of it.” Lecky further detailed to reporters a 300-pluspound “violent” man with a history of manslaughter among those to come to the city from VisionQuest. Lecky said the man was arrested for breaching court orders, noting such a large person requires multiple police officers to attend. “Generally speaking, VisionQuest has a percentage of their clients, they may have great success,” Lecky said. “But it’s the ones that aren’t successful that I’m worried about because they’ll end up on our streets and I’ve got to answer for them.” Lecky said he would be in support of individuals going back to where they came from if they did not complete programming at VisionQuest. “If it’s a Kamloops client that we sent there, I’m good with that, too, because it’s ours,” he said. “But I don’t like putting other people’s issues in my community if I didn’t earn it.” Lecky said if the provincial government provided the local detachment with two police officers to deal directly with VisionQuest
clients, he would be happy to dedicate resources for that specific purpose. Lecky is not the first person to point his finger at VisionQuest. Canadian Mental Health Association executive director Alfred Achoba previously expressed concern about VisionQuest dropping off clients outside of shelters on Victoria Street West in Kamloops. He said it did not sit well with him knowing a person from outside Kamloops is occupying space that should be set aside for a local who has been waiting to get into housing. VisionQuest Recovery Society executive director Megan Worley told KTW at that time transportation to Kamloops occurs infrequently and as a “last resort.” While the courts may order drug treatment for those convicted of crimes, it cannot be mandated due to human rights issues. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian has said he disagrees with B.C. Attorney General David Eby on the issue of mandatory treatment. Kamloops, meanwhile, is awaiting an announcement from the province on complex care plans for the city.

VISIONQUEST Q&A VisionQuest, located near Logan Lake, has been the subject of criticism for dropping off clients in Kamloops. KTW requested a phone interview with VisionQuest executive director Megan Worley, but she declined and instead required questions by email. The following is the Q&A between Worley and KTW. The full Q&A, with four more queries, is online at kamloopsthisweek.com. KTW: How many people are you dropping off in Kamloops? Weekly? Monthly? Annually? Worley: These numbers have been provided to other media outlets as well. This year was unusually high at 13 so far. Three to shelters, 10 to their POs (parole officers), hoping reincarceration is the next stop for them. Unfortunately, sometimes the justice system does not co-operate. This process is out of the control of VisionQuest, the RCMP and the POs and bail officers, who do a fantastic job. Several of those individuals are currently incarcerated and five of the men are Kamloops residents. KTW: How often is it happening? Worley: It varies but is typically significantly less than the above numbers as I have stated before. KTW: Where are they from? How many of them are from Kamloops? Worley: We currently have 15 Kamloops residents in our facilities. We often serve Kamloops residents in addition to other communities across the province. Many of those individuals do not return to the city, choosing instead to live elsewhere. KTW: What challenges do you face, when it comes to a lack of mandatory treatment? Worley: Mandatory treatment is not an initiative that works. We cannot compel people into healing from this disorder any more than we can force someone with a different diagnosis into treatment; it simply doesn’t work. If we, as a society, attempt to force recovery on individuals who are not ready, they will sabotage themselves and those
around them who are still vulnerable. We can influence, encourage, and use our empathy and compassion, but we cannot force. Look at the Portugal Model, which is often quoted by those working in the sectors of harm reduction, housing and treatment. You will see that those suffering from substance-use disorder will face increasing sanctions to eventually encourage them to seek treatment. This, combined with the other model elements, has shown some increased success. The strategy is to encourage those suffering. If someone comes out of jail to attend recovery but chooses not to co-operate, returning that individual to jail to serve for the crime they committed until or unless they are ready to accept the help is not bad. Accountability for one’s actions will often encourage people to seek to change their life. Accountability is different from shame. We can’t and should never attempt to shame people into healing; we can only encourage it and provide the necessary resources for them when they are ready. Shame is a significant contributor to remaining in addiction. Treating people with respect as human beings will see more success. KTW: Why can’t you take clients who don’t complete treatment to jail, rather than dropping them of in Kamloops? Worley: Many who choose to leave before completing the program do go back to jail. Occasionally they don’t, and this is out of our control. We are not the court system. We are a recovery society. KTW: When you drop people off in Kamloops, where do you drop them off? Worley: This depends on where they are going. Whether jail, another recovery society, a shelter or a family member’s house. It all depends. KTW: When you drop people off, do you ensure they have shelter? Worley: We try whenever possible, but remember, these are grown adults. We do not control their choices or where they choose to go.

Journey to help began with networking From A1
Matheson told KTW, though, that he feels great being there to help and not back home in Canada, wishing he could. “It’s meaningful work and while not everyone is cut out to be a soldier, there are significant ways in which people can still help,” he said. EARLY DAYS INVOLVED NETWORKING On his first day in Przemysl, Matheson said he registered as a driver at a refugee centre and used the rental car he purchased to transport refugees deeper into Poland. Due to human-trafficking concerns, registered drivers and refugees are matched directly at the refugee centre, he said. “First passengers [were] a young mother with an infant and young teenager,” Matheson said, noting he dropped them off at a train station and returned for another group. During a transport on his second day in Poland, Matheson said the language barrier began to complicate the situation while driving an elderly woman and teenager five-and-a-half hours to an apartment where they had family. “They didn’t speak any English, so it was a little tricky figuring everything out,” he said. Matheson said the family was not at the apartment, but fortunately a passerby who knew them stopped and helped out, leading to Matheson dropping them at that city’s refugee centre.

That passerby is an English teacher who has since helped Matheson with translation and has given him an address to where medical supplies can be sent from Canada. “A lot of the trip has been networking and making friends,” Matheson said. “It’s great to see which doors are open once people learn what you are doing. Everyone wants to help these Ukrainian families.” On the third day, he said he met a woman from Boston in Poland and together they ventured to the Poland/Ukrainian border to hand out bananas and Mandarin oranges to refugees walking into Poland.
Matheson said most volunteers he has met are with non-government organizations or with a nonprofit group. Some, like him, came independently to offer assistance. He said his first couple of weeks in Poland were spent buying fruit at local grocery stores a couple of times a day, then bringing a shopping cart into Ukraine filled with food supplies or medical gear as refugees crossed into Poland. He said he would also assist people walking with heavy luggage into Poland. Matheson noted the sad sight of large families crossing the border with no men, as males ages 18 to 60 are required to

Since connecting with the Canada Care Team in Poland, Matheson said they have purchased and registered a Mercedes van to transport medical supplies and volunteers into Ukraine, as well as refugees wanting to travel back with them to Poland. Matheson said they are making connections with other groups doing similar work, noting some American volunteers provided them with a house in Poland to use for a month. According to its GoFund Me webpage, the Canada Care Team’s focus is on medical care — delivering medicine, medical and surgical supplies and ambulance transport to hospitals in areas of Ukraine that are isolated from larger humanitarian groups because of active hostilities. Now with the Canada Care Team, Matheson planned to make a second trip to Lviv on
Tuesday to deliver medical supplies and drop off volunteers. He said he expects the team will spend a lot of time in Lviv now that they have the van. Matheson said they recently drove two Ukrainian youths from the border into Poland, one of whom insisted they take a shirt with a Ukrainian meme on it honouring the “Ghost of Kyiv” fighter pilot who supposedly shot down 10 Russian jets.

A male youth was stabbed at Pioneer Park last Friday night and Mounties are seeking eyewitnesses. Kamloops RCMP Const. Crystal Evelyn said a group of youths came running up from the beach to police officers in the parking lot of the park to report the stabbing at 9:05 p.m. “Officers attended an area and located numerous intoxicated youths and a male with injuries consistent to be being struck by a sharp object,” Const. Crystal Evelyn said. Evelyn said a male youth was taken to the hospital, treated for non-life threatening injuries and released.
According to the police report, another male youth wearing a ski mask and blue shirt, as well as a white female youth with brown hair, who was dressed in a ghillie suit, were throwing eggs at the crowd gathered at the beach. A ghillie suit is full camoflauge suit worn by snipers and hunters. The male youth who was stabbed allegedly confronted the pair and was attacked with a weapon. The male and female suspects are said to have then then fled westbound, in the direction of Riverside Park. The youths involved are all believed to be teenagers, Evelyn said. Anyone who witnessed or has information about the stabbing incident is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-11424.

The First Valleyview Scouts are hoping to retrieve $4,000 worth of items stolen from the troop’s storage container in March. Troop leader Miranda Flack said overnight on March 24, tents, leatherbound and aluminum frame snowshoes, dishes and a wolf’s head were among the items taken. The storage container is located on a property in Southgate. Flack said the lock to the container had been cut off and the theft was discovered the day after, on March 25. Due to the pandemic, the troop is currently dormant, but plans to return to operations in September, a planned return that has now been
hindered by the burglary. The theft also impacts other scout troops, with which First Valleyview Scouts share resources. First Valleyview Scout member Jason Blackall said the troop is run entirely by volunteers. “All those items were bought using fundraising,” he said. “There’s going to be some of the other leaders restarting with their kids in the fall, so they will have to start from ground zero again for a lot of things or borrow stuff. I’m not sure what they’re going to do.” Blackall said the total value of what was taken is an estimated $4,000 and said it could take several years to get enough funds together to replace items. He noted all but two of the troops’ Coleman tents were taken, adding the First
Valleyview Scouts name should be written on their property. The 10 stolen tents range in size to fit four to six people. An inventory taken by troop volunteers also revealed the scouts are missing two wagons, a porta potty/changing tent, a Coleman camp stove, a three-burner stove, three tarps and a propane tank. The troop suspects a pickup truck may have been used in the theft. They filed a police report and anyone with any information about the break-in is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000. The group has started an online fundraising campaign that can be found online at gofundme.com by searching “1stValleyview Scouts help replace what was stolen”.

HOME & GARDEN
Here is how to create a bountiful garden
H
omeowners enjoy gardening for many different reasons. In addition to adding beauty to a property, gardens can offset rising grocery costs by yielding tasty produce. They also offer important habitats and food sources for both insects and animals. While growing a vegetable or flower garden can turn into a rewarding hobby, or even a passion, gardening can also be overwhelming, particularly when the results are less than stellar. Novice gardeners have scores of resources at their disposal, including Kamloops-area garden centres and the advice of gardeners who have made mistakes and learned from them The following guidance can make home gardens that much more successful. • Start small: You may have visions of an expansive garden growing rows of crops or acres of flowers. But it is smart to start
small and build on what you find successful, which includes plants that thrive in your lawn and garden. This also is beneficial if you are unsure of vegetable yields. Several blooming plants producing bushels of crops can be overwhelming, especially if you can’t get to harvesting or cooking them in a timely fashion. • Assess the soil: Plants need nutrient-rich soil to encourage extensive root systems and
produce strong, hardy plants. Nourish soil with organic matter, such as manure, compost, shredded leaves and natural mulch. Add this organic matter in the off-season to give it enough time to be incorporated into the ground before spring. You can have your soil tested for pH and other characteristics that make it friendly or averse to plants at a local garden centre. • Arm yourself with knowl-
edge: Do you know how deeply to plant seeds and how far apart to space plants? Are you aware of the sunlight needs of certain flowers or plants? If not, read the packaging and do your research so your plants have the best chance of not only sprouting, but also surviving. Many people prefer to start seedlings indoors in late winter and then transfer those plants outdoors when they are stronger and
more established. • Sit in your yard and observe: Watch the way the sunlight dances over areas of your landscape. Take note of which areas get the most sun and shade. This will help you plan what to plant and where to plant it. Vegetable gardens tend to need ample sunlight to bear pick-worthy produce. You can give plants a leg up by growing them in optimal conditions. • Choose hardy varieties: Certain plants have been bred to thrive in your climate, including heat-tolerant plants for climates with sweltering summer sun. Consult with a local gardening centre to figure out which plant zone you are in and which plants will do best within that zone. • Use rainwater: Rainwater contains fewer contaminants and additives than some other water sources. Collect rainwater in barrels and use irrigation systems to deliver it to the garden. Home gardens can yield many gifts, from flowers to fruit.

HOME & GARDEN
IN LOVE WITH THE LANDSCAPE
A
n inviting, welltended landscape can add significant curb appeal to a home. Such a landscape also can serve as a point of pride and welcome homeowners each evening as they arrive home from work. Landscaping projects run the gamut, from simple changes that can be accomplished on a weekend afternoon to more significant and costly undertakings that require the work of a professional. Budget-conscious homeowners may be looking for simpler projects and the following are some less costly ways to upgrade a landscape. • Add a pop of colour with planters: Awe-inspiring colours can make a landscape stand out from surrounding properties. Flowers, bushes and plants may be the first thing homeowners consider when trying to add colour to their lawns, but planters can provide a more
immediate way of giving exterior grounds some colour. Bold planters won’t lose their hues in a matter of weeks, like many flowers do, and homeowners can switch planters so the colours align with the season. For example, some pastel planters can evoke the spirit of spring, while orange planters can be filled with mums to give a landscape an autumnal feel. • Plant perennials around the property: Well-maintained perennials grow back each year, making them ideal for homeowners who don’t have the time or desire to map out new gardening arrangements each spring. Planting perennials also is a great way to add colour around the property without breaking the bank. • Upgrade walkways: Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. Homeowners working on a
budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced. • Plant to create privacy.: Homeowners spent more time at home than ever before during the pandemic — and some might have grown tired of seeing what their neighbours are up to. Fencing might be the first solution homeowners consider when looking to make their landscapes more private. A more natural solution is to plant trees around the perimeter. Speak with a local landscaping professional, who can survey the property to see which trees might thrive and provide the privacy homeowners want. Creating an inviting landscape doesn’t have to break the bank. Various small and relatively inexpensive projects can change the look and feel of a home’s exterior.

Dig It: Indigenous history of Wells Gray Park KIM CHRISTENSON

nown for an abundance of waterfalls, extinct volcanoes and with a variety of microclimates and vegetation, Wells Gray Provincial Park measures 540,000 hectares (1.9 million acres) in size. It is most frequently accessed from my hometown of Clearwater, just south of the main entrance. The park extends from Mahood Lake in the southeast to Murtle Lake near Blue River in the west and all the way north to Mount Hogg and Mount Goodall, northeast of Quesnel Lake. It is an enormous and ecologically diverse park, with most modern visitors not venturing farther north than Azure or Hobson lakes. While the natural beauty of the park’s lakes, rivers and volcanoes is often emphasized, local Indigenous peoples have deep ties to the area. There are approximately 50 recorded archaeological sites within the park’s boundary, a relatively small amount given its vast size. Although few in number, there is great diversity in the site types recorded. Cultural depressions (habitation, cooking and storage features), trails, lithic scatters of stone tools, mounds for temporary shelters and rock art are all represented here. It’s important to recognize the relative paucity of recorded sites results from a lack of

archaeological studies, not a lack of Indigenous land use. The majority of the studies conducted in the park were done in the late 1960s, through the 1970s and into the 1980s. These early surveys focused on broad areas adjacent to water sources, with the goal of recording the large, obvious sites. There was little to no subsurface testing completed, so early archaeologists recorded only what was visible on the surface. In this way, they were often severely limited by ground cover and the natural movement of sediments from water, gravity and erosion that often bury sites. Approximately 20 of the 50 archaeological sites recorded in Wells Gray are located around Mahood Lake. This was a direct outcome of the easy access to the lake, combined with various
lakeside developments that triggered archaeological studies. We can fully expect that if more intensive archaeological studies were completed, many more sites would be found. One of the largest sites recorded in the park is ElQw-2, registered as a “food harvesting fence.” Originally recorded by an archaeologist in 1971, and revisited in 1987, this site is comprised of a caribou fence used to drive herds into the lake for ease of hunting. This fence is located in an area known as Indian Meadows and is just a few kilometres from Battle Mountain. The naming of Battle Mountain and Indian Meadows, as well as nearby Battle Creek and Fight Lake, is a tapestry deeply woven in Indigenous history. The caribou fence at ElQw-2

is a key remaining piece of history as it represents the instigation of the well-known battle for which these places are named. Throughout the 1800s, caribou herds migrated through what is now Wells Gray Park from the Chilcotin region to the east. The Tsilhqot’in nation are reported to have had control of much of the migration route at that time, although the Secwépemc peoples frequently hunted in the Battle Mountain and Indian Valley areas. Around 1875, the Tsilhqot’in had built long fences along a small lake in that vicinity and were chasing the caribou into the water for slaughter. The battle was a result of an observed trespass, coupled with declining numbers of caribou. The records are unclear if there was a winner.
The records are also unclear if the harvesting fence recorded in 1971 at ElQw-2 is the same fence built by the Tsilhqot’in that spurred the infamous battle, but it’s certainly possible, perhaps even likely. The fence was reportedly made from stone and wire, so this important piece of Indigenous history should be preservable well into the future, along with its connected place names.

MARTY HASTINGS/KTW Barry McPhee feels he might be screaming into the abyss, but that’s not stopping him from taking a stand against the potential loss of the Kamloops Curling Club’s downtown home. He is not the only one with qualms and questions. Some of those voices are heard today in KTW.
an expansion. But it’s a city-run facility, which is not ideal for the club. The [McArthur Island] facility itself is quite outdated and we don’t know whether a reno will be good enough to make the club functionable for the larger membership.” McCorkell said the city has no set position on anything except investing in one club in one venue. The curling conglomerate has earmarked an idea it feels may fit within the city’s Recreation Master Plan — erect another structure behind the existing sports centre on McArthur Island that will house two new rinks, one of which will be the 10- to 12-sheet home

of the new curling club, and repurpose the current Mac Isle club ice to create two rinks to help address the frozenwater shortage in the city. Ken Brown, a two-time Brier participant and longtime Kamloops Curling Club member, is clear in his opposition to McArthur Island Curling Club expansion. “I’ll be straight up,” Brown said. “Whoever designed that curling club over on the North Shore when they did their renovation, I would fire that guy. It’s terrible. You can’t even see the ice from the viewing area up top. How is that a curling club? Kamloops Curling Club was everything to me growing up.

arry McPhee will defend his Alamo, the Kamloops Curling Club, until his last swing of the broom. “It would be a damn crying shame if it was torn down,” said four-time Brier participant McPhee, a former KCC president who managed the club in 1973 and 1974. “I’ll vociferously do what I can do to stand up and fight for it. It’s an uphill battle. I’m fighting city hall. You can’t beat them, right?” McPhee and others have been expressing concerns to KTW since the publication of an article on Feb. 22 that shed light on potential for the demise of the Kamloops Curling Club at its downtown location and its amalgamation with McArthur Island Curling Club. Representatives from the clubs and the Kamloops Sports Council have formed a curling conglomerate and are discussing plans for the future, with a focus on how those ideas might mesh with the City of Kamloops’ Recreation Master Plan, which addresses streamlining curling operations in the city. The Recreation Master Plan indicates the city should encourage conversation between the Kamloops and McArthur Island curling clubs, talk designed to spur the creation of one club under one roof. Byron McCorkell, director of community and protective services for the city, notes an estimated budget of $30 million for the facility. “We’re looking for a standalone site that is run by the curling club for curlers in Kamloops,” said MICC past-president Kevin Ihlen, who is part of the curling conglomerate. “That’s probably where we stand in difference with the city. The city’s current goal is to move us into McArthur Island Curling Club, with
The club on the other side of the river was a curling club at one time. It’s no longer a curling club. The members don’t have a bar. They have nowhere to change their clothes or put on their shoes. That ain’t a club. It’s disappointing. Ours is a curling club.” Brown is not totally opposed to unification of the clubs under one roof in a new facility — so long as the operation is run by curlers. “But is that a pipe dream? Yeah,” Brown said. “Look how hard it was for us to get the arena downtown for hockey. If they’re going to spend that much money, why wouldn’t they spend that much money to fix up the club? They want the building downtown for their ulterior motive. Whatever the motive is, I don’t know, but that’s a valuable spot down there.” Brown said major renovations to the downtown club could mimic multiplex facilities in Calgary and Fort St. John and provide room for convention space, multi-sport activity throughout the year and parking in a location that has a growing population, with condo developments planned in the area, and nearby hotel accommodation. “I would like to see the Kamloops Curling Club exactly as it is right now,” McPhee said, noting the KCC is selfsufficient, no burden to taxpayers. “If the two clubs were amalgamated at this very moment and everybody bought in, we’d have one vibrant curling club, and that should be the Kamloops Curling Club.” Former KCC president Ted Kowalsky was asked for his opinion on the potential facility changes. Thinking aloud, he talked through his love for the club and its history, but noted the likelihood for change is strong and the foundational shift might be required for progress.

“I would be fearful of losing the Kamloops Curling Club,” Kowalsky said. “People may not like to hear this, but people from the North Shore, traditionally, will go to the South Shore, but people from the South Shore don’t want to go to the North Shore. As much as I’d like to see it stay, looking progressively at what needs to happen in the city, I wouldn’t be totally opposed to it moving or disappearing, as long as they build a proper facility. I can’t stress the word ‘proper’ enough.” Kowalsky, a longtime organizer for the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament, said adequate parking space might be a problem if a new multi-use facility is constructed on Mac Isle. “I’d hate to lose it [the KCC] because it’s always been there,” said Kowalsky, noting the days of 120-team bonspiels are gone and there is likely not demand in the city for 10 or 12 sheets of ice. “But I try to look ahead

all the time. It is prime development property. If you’re going to lose the curling club, you should lose Memorial Arena. It’s not a good facility any more. Things will have to change. If there’s no change, there’s no progress.” Several of those interviewed spoke of a deal struck after the Second World War between the nowdefunct Kamloops Athletic Association and the City of Kamloops, an agreement they said allows the Kamloops Curling Club, along with the parking area behind it, to stay where it is now in perpetuity in exchange for $1 per year. “I don’t think there’s
anything in writing, but for all the years I was there, that’s what it was,” said Brian Eden, who was general manager for the KCC for more than 30 years. “I was sort of married to the club downtown for 35 years. It’s kind of near and dear to my heart and I don’t want to see it closed.” Eden said generations of members have spent money and volunteered time to help with renovations, including flooring, washrooms and the club’s expansion to eight sheets from four sheets. “If the city wants to build a new facility and give it to curlers, that would be OK,” Eden said. “It’s wrong to let the city run it. Let the curlers run it, hire staff, run the bar, run the kitchen and manage the curling.” Corryn Brown, Ken’s daughter, skips Team Brown, one of the top curling teams in Canada, and shudders to think of losing her beloved Kamloops Curling Club. “We’re in a pretty tough situation,” she

said. “For me, there’s a lot of nostalgia. I basically grew up in that club and have fond memories of climbing on top of the lockers while our siblings were curling, vivid memories of Erin [Team Brown third Erin Pincott] and I putting as many straws in a pop can as we could and adding sugar to the Fanta. It feels homey in there.” Brown is following discussion on potential facility changes and said members from both clubs need to be involved in the dialogue. “If our only option to continue curling is to go to a new facility — if it is to curl or not to curl — I’m always going to pick the option that allows me to curl,” Brown said. “I would just hope that, if there is a new facility and that is our only option, it would maintain that club atmosphere. Curling is one part of it. Going up after the games and having a drink with your opponent is what people value. If we were to lose that, we would lose a ton of members.”

STANKOVEN IN HUNT FOR PLAYER OF YEAR MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Logan Stankoven of the Kamloops Blazers is putting the finishing touches on a prolific season, one of the best in franchise history. The 5-foot-8, 170-pound forward has 44 goals and 102 points in 57 games, the 1.79 points-per-game average tops in the WHL. Brandon Wheat Kings’ forward Ridly Greig, with 63 points in 39 games (1.62 PPG), is second in the category. Hockey Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla was the WHL Player of the Year for 1995-1996. Stankoven is in the conversation this season and would be the first Blazer since Iginla to claim the award. “It would be great,” said Stankoven, who is in his 18-year-old season. “It’s a good personal achievement, but it would just be good for the City of Kamloops, the organization and, obviously, it’s not a oneman show. My teammates have
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
helped me get to where I am today.” The league will not name Eastern Conference and Western Conference players of the season for 2021-2022. Instead, divisional award winners will be named and they will be finalists for the 2022 WHL Awards, which will be handed out Wednesday, June 1. Everett Silvertips’ defenceman Olen Zellweger, Portland Winterhawks’ netminder Taylor Gauthier, Kamloops goaltender Dylan Garand and Winterhawks’ forward Cross Hanas are among worthy competition in the
Western Conference. “In terms of Western Conference, I guess I’d probably be right up there,” Stankoven said. “There are lots of good players who deserve the award. Another thing you have to throw into consideration is not every single player has played the same amount of games. A perfect example is G [Garand]. He’s been a rock back there for us and definitely our MVP.” No Blazer has reached the 50-goal plateau or led the league in scoring since 20022003, when Erik Christensen accomplished both feats. He tal-
lied 54 goals and 108 points in 67 games that season. Stankoven is second in league scoring this season and sits four points back of Red Deer Rebels’ forward Arshdeep Bains, who has played nine more games than the Blazers’ cocaptain from Kamloops. Bains and teammate Ben King are among potential player of the year nominees in the Eastern Conference, along with Connor Bedard, the 16-year-old Regina Pats’ sensation, Dylan Guenther of the Edmonton Oil Kings and Matthew Savoie and Daniel Hauser of the Winnipeg Ice, among others. The Rebels have two games remaining on their regularseason slate, making Stankoven a long shot to claim the scoring title. He needs six goals in two games to reach 50. “I don’t know. A lot of things would have to go right,” Stankoven said. “It’s tough to do in this league. It’s hard to score
goals. That would be unbelievable if I could do it. If not, it’s not a big deal. I’ll probably have another chance at it next year.” Stankoven is the first Blazer to reach 100 points since Colin Smith hit the number in 20122013. “Oh yeah, for sure I remember him,” Stankoven said. “Colin Smith, Brendan Ranford, Cole Ully, Dylan Willick — there was a whole schwack of guys. I loved coming to games around that age.” Perhaps the next Stankoven will be in the crowd this weekend, with Kamloops (4716-3-0) slated to host Prince George (23-38-4-1) on Friday and Vancouver (24-37-4-0) on Saturday, both 7 p.m. starts at Sandman Centre. Kamloops was second in Western Conference standings, three points behind Everett (45-11-5-5) and two points ahead of Portland (45-16-3-2), as of KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday.

Raiders to toil on home turf in playoffs MEN SEEK FIRST WIN ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Jess Oldenburger takes a shot at goal on Saturday at Exhibition Park, where her Kamloops Raiders prevailed 27-12 over the UBC Thunderbirds of Vancouver.
The Kamloops Raiders have secured homefield advantage for the first round of the women’s B.C. Rugby Union Division One playoffs. Kamloops (5-3) prevailed 27-12 over the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday to earn the right to host Meraloma Rugby Club (6-2) of Vancouver in Round 1 of the post-season. Kickoff time is yet to be determined for the tilt, which will take place on Saturday, April 23, at Exhibition Park. Sydnee Chang (2), Aliyah Rodominski (2) and Erin Jensen scored tries last weeked for the Raiders.
Jess Oldenburger booted one conversion kick. Meanwhile, the Kelowna Crows vanquished the visiting Raiders 40-19 on Saturday in men’s Division One action. Kurtis Everett (2) and Will Shaw scored tries for Kamloops in a losing effort. Greg Thomson connected on two conversion kicks. The Crows (4-3) and Raiders (0-6-1) will clash again on Saturday, an 11:30 a.m. start at Exhibition Park. Kamloops, which will not qualify for the playoffs, will be aiming to snare its first win of the campaign on the final day of the regular season.

DANIEL MILLS Executive director of Kamloops Symphony We are less than two weeks from race day. Training has been going well and, overall, I am feeling strong and physically healthy, which, as we know now more than ever, should never be taken for granted. This past week, I ran with the 21.1K crew, doing the familiar-to-me three bridges loop. For the first time, though, I wasn’t alone doing the route as there were more than 20 other runners with me. It’s great to see how close so many RunClub members are to achieving their goals for race day, with several first-time half-marathoners in the group. However, outside of running pursuits, there is a lot to get done in the next two weeks. Within the next 11 days, we are concluding an unpredictable Kamloops Symphony season, complete with three different concerts. This means a lot of deliverables and last-minute details to co-ordinate. We’re also very busy firming up plans for the 2022-2023 season. And, on the personal front, I am also navigating several commitments and situations requiring quite a bit of energy. But what I’ve learned in my recent racing experiences is this: Life can bring anxiety and complications, but on race day, you can put all of those behind. For however long the race lasts, it’s only you and the road. I plan to make April 24 no exception.
JOSHUA GOTTFRIEDSON Councillor with Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Wéyt-kp (Hello to more than one). I began a journey to the United States last Friday. Our initial attempt, the red eye to Orlando, was thwarted by a few wind gusts. We were delayed for a few hours and begrudgingly purchased a room for a night in Kelowna. After a couple of hours of sleep, we hopped on a plane to Toronto, only to be greeted with a 13-hour delay. Luckily, my partner and I had a couple of pals welcome us into their home for the evening, resulting in another couple of hours to sleep. We were awakened by the unwelcome sound of our alarms and made our way to the airport in Toronto for a flight to Orlando. Finally, we made it to our destination and the happiest place on earth a full two days later than expected. At first, it seemed easy to be angry and negative. Then I realized where my beautiful girlfriend and I are, somewhere I could only dream about as a young boy — Disneyworld! I am quite literally living my best life with someone I completely love and adore. Life is good and every day I am shown how easy it is to be grateful. I grabbed my shoes and will show this new part of the world my love and appreciation as I introduce myself to the land with every step I take. I am carrying the love and support of the RunClub community all the way to the East Coast of America. Kukwstsétselp (Thank you to more than one).
PAUL DE LUCA Sales representative Kamloops This Week Last Tuesday was gross. We were scheduled to meet in Westsyde for our evening training. As I got home from a long day of work, I looked out my window and saw massive storm clouds blanketing Westsyde. I had made the statement: I will not be running in the rain and sleet. I don’t need this and I don’t want this. As I internalized this, I realized I actually don’t mind it that much. It’ll only be a bit over an hour. You can do it. I bundled up and began to drive to Westsyde. The rain pounded the windows as I hit the freeway. Maybe that was a false sense of confidence. I can still turn around. As I kept making excuses and talking myself out of them, I somehow ended up at Centennial Park in Westsyde. I sluggishly got out of the car and made my way to the meet-up. Jo and the trainers were a force of energy. It was amazing to see everyone so motivated. As we broke off to our separate groups, we did hill runs. Jo gave some great talks about bonding with the group and finishing the hills together. True to her word, we completed the hills together. It was a different feeling — not just physically satisfying, but also mentally nourishing— to complete the task as a team. It was a great sentiment to share the wins with the group. I know if I had stayed at home, there is no way I would have felt as good as I did driving away from RunClub.

The time on your feet is now more than five kilometres. Congrats — you got this. Start to strategize your pace going out (2.5km) and coming back (2.5km).
You are now at the 10K mark — congrats. Next week is your longest run of the Boogie program. Then it’s taper time.
In the last six weeks, you have built a fantastic 10K base. This is your distance and you are strong. Goal-setting is part of your practice and Boogie is your spring goal.
The longest run of your program is now complete — congrats! It is time to taper back your running and let the body prepare, build and rest. The goal is to get to the Boogie start line feeling amazing.
2) Walk 2 minutes, run 8 minutes. Repeat 6 times. Total 60 minutes. 2) Walk 2 minutes, run 8 minutes. Repeat 7 times. Total 70 minutes.

Boogie Strong in 2022
I
f I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say that running isn’t good for your body, I’d have a whole lot of cash. Running can get a really bad rap because it is misused and misunderstood. Yes, there are risks associated with running, just as there are risks associated with any sport. But to make the blanket statement that running is “bad for you” is something that just isn’t true. Running does not have to beat up your body. It actually strengthens the tissue, bones and tendons if proper rest and adaptation are allowed. It also dramatically improves mental health and quality of life. The most common error is that people start running and do too much, too soon. I know because I also did too much, too soon in my early years of running. I learned quickly, then pulled back and started to walk before I ran. Walking is an outstanding form of fitness and, to this day, I still put walk breaks into my running every single workout. Another reason people think running is bad for you is that they are afraid – very afraid. We have thousands of stories of those who came to RunClub — and their lives have been forever changed. One story is about a wonderful man who came with his wife to many races with RunClub. He stayed at the finish line and waited for her to cross. This lasted for years. Then, one day, he decided to try running. He is now an ultra-runner and heading to the Boston Marathon next week. To get into Boston, you need to be quick and qualify. We are so excited for Sheridan and Annie, who leave this week for an incredible adventure and lifetime memory. There truly is a safe, doable and successful way to put running into your life forever. The answer is patience, walk breaks, moderation, rest, recovery and sensibility. Boogie has a pace for everyone, from walkers to half-marathon runners. All of these humans jumped out of their comfort zone, tried and are now are accomplishing amazing things — even going to the Boston Marathon.

Pakhomenko enters hall of fame, WolfPack hand out awards The TRU WolfPack handed out their annual awards and inducted former women’s volleyball player Iuliia Pakhomenko into the TRU Athletics Hall of Fame last week at a banquet held on campus.

Mike is consistently honorable and professional. We did not consider any other realtor.

Louis Jean Cordonier
December 11, 1934 - March 1, 2022
Louis Jean Cordonier passed away peacefully April 1, 2022 at GR Baker Hospital in Quesnel after a long battle with cancer.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother Mary Lou Friedel, after a brief illness.
Louis (Louie) was born August 29, 1943 in Kamloops, British Columbia, the 10th child of Pierre and Antoinette Cordonier. Pierre immigrated from Switzerland in 1920 and raised his family in the Barnhartvale area.
She was predeceased by our father Arthur Martin Friedel, our sister Jesse Monroe, and her great-granddaughter Taylor. Left to mourn her passing are her six living children Yvonne (David), Alan (Helga), Gail (Rob), Gwen (Robin), Timothy and Tracy, as well as fourteen grandchildren and eleven greatgrandchildren.
Over the years Louie had an extensive trucking career. He never forgot a face or a name and loved reminiscing about his past experiences throughout his life and career. He was a very kind, decent and loving man with a great sense of humour and an infectious smile. Always ready to lend a helping hand to all.
Mary Lou was born in High Prairie, Alberta as one of thirteen children. She met her soulmate Arthur, in Grand Prairie, Alberta. Together they celebrated fifty four years of marriage before his passing in 2009. Mom spent a short time as a resident at Overlander Extended Care, where she was well liked by staff who enjoyed her company and humour. A special thank you to all that cared for her there, in her final months of life. Her home cooked meals, baking and family gatherings will be cherished memories forever in our hearts.
He is survived by his beloved partner, Beth Crosson, along with his brother Armand Cordonier, his sister Leona (Ned) Keiz and sister Rita Kennell. He was predeceased by his parents and siblings Monica Becott, Yvonne Moerman, Marie Smith, Peter Cordonier, Jeanne Palmer and Lorraine Tansley. Louie has also left behind many wonderful nieces and nephews, and many other family members way too many to mention here.
There will be no funeral, but the family plans to have a private celebration of life on a warm and sunny day fit to honour their beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Mary Lou. Prayers can be recited for Mary Lou at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church.
No service will be held by his request. His remains will be spread late spring or early summer at the Hiddenvale Bluffs in Barnhartvale, British Columbia.
Adam Hunt
November 12, 1972 - April 7, 2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Adam James Hunt. Adam is survived by his mother Lynda Milham, his brothers Chad (Holly), Josh (Natashia) and Keir (Kate) and his sister Caleigh (Luke). Adam was predeceased by his father Keith Hunt. Uncle Adam was especially adored by his nephews and nieces - Nege, Coco, Brendan, Sarah, Huxley, Freya, Martha and Annie. Adam was deeply loved by his Auntie Bonnie, Graeme and Angela; his aunts, uncles and cousins; and his many friends.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Terry Fox Cancer Society in Louie’s name.

Adam was born and raised in Kamloops, attending Kamloops Senior Secondary School and then the University College of the Cariboo, where he graduated from the Faculty of Social Work. He was passionate about his work in mental health, offering counselling support on a compassionate and nonjudgmental basis throughout his career, most recently at the Chase and District Health Centre. Adam was incredibly funny and brightened the lives of everyone with his sense of humour and wit. His family and friends will undoubtedly find comfort sharing in the endless collection of memories and stories of time spent with him. Adam enjoyed music (including airbands and karaoke), was an avid reader (particularly US history and politics) and had a tumultuous lifelong relationship with the Vancouver Canucks. Above all, Adam valued time spent with family and friends, whether offering advice, a kind ear to listen, or simply sharing a laugh over a cup of coffee.
He will be deeply missed. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2022 at 1:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Chapel (513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC).

A Life Remembered Verlie Anne Halcrow Verlie Anne Halcrow passed away March 28, 2022 surrounded by family members at Overlander Trinity Hospice. She went to join her loving husband Floyd Rosser Halcrow already in heaven as well as many close family and friends. She is survived by her six sons John, Mike, Paul, Ron (Meaghan), David (Debbie), Stephen (Terena), and many grandchildren. Verlie was born February 1, 1932 in Vancouver, BC to Allan and Verlie Nicolson. The family lived in the Lower Mainland til 1969. During mom’s early years she worked at various jobs to help the family while her dad was overseas fighting the war and enjoyed living in Vancouver with its many attractions! She met the love of her life and eventually married Floyd on November 10, 1951. They started their own family right away. In December of 1969 Floyd and Verlie packed up their family and moved to Valemount, BC. They had a vision for ministry outreach and hosted many Bible camps and retreats which eventually led to the establishment of a church, Full Gospel Lighthouse. Verlie oversaw the rearing and care of a large household of children while Floyd drove a school bus and worked for the Ministry of Hwys. For many years Verlie nurtured, mentored and ministered to people in need. Through these years she cooked at Bible camps held on the property, took in children from broken families, had her own ceramic business, taught courses on cake decorating and floral arrangement, baked goods to earn extra money for the household and kept a huge vegetable garden. She enjoyed crafts of every type including carding raw wool and creating with it. We still have her spinning wheel. All the while she found time to pray. Floyd and Verlie moved to Kamloops in 1991. Verlie remained active in her hobbies and creative endeavours. She and her best friend, Vera Mertz, cooked together for many large events. She also volunteered at the House of Ruth and helped many others who needed a hand. She found meaning in being able to help in tangible, practical ways and led many to the Lord. Floyd and Verlie enjoyed nothing more than a houseful of family and friends enjoying a meal around the table. Right to the end, her concern was that her family and everyone associated with her, even her caregivers, were okay. Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at the Free Methodist Church, 975 Windbreak St. at 2:00 pm.
Dorothy Grace McWilliam After a beautiful and long life our beloved mom, Dorothy Grace McWilliam, age 99, passed away on April 5, 2022 in Kamloops. Dorothy was born in Provost, Alberta on January 28, 1923 and grew up in Little Gap and Clover Lawn, Alberta. In the 1940s Dorothy left Alberta and moved to Vancouver where she met Allan and they married in 1950. They moved to Kamloops in 1952 and Allan started his land surveying company. Dorothy and Allan built their forever home on Fraser Street in 1958 and together raised their two children. The family spent most weekends in the summer at their cabin on Little Shuswap Lake leaving the family with wonderful memories to treasure. Dorothy was a kind, quiet and loving person who treasured her family first and foremost and never complained a day in her life. Dorothy left her home of 58 years in 2016 to live with her daughter and sonin-law in Rosehill and enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching wildlife and sipping on a beer. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Allan Woodman McWilliam, her parents Ingvald and Elsie Rudd (Ackerman), her brothers Theodore and Melvin Rudd, her sisters Vera Norgaard and Thelma Kortgaard and brothers-in-law Gordon Norgaard, Don Kortgaard and Bill Roberts.

We will miss you Mom! Say Hi to Dad! A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Malan for his gentle and compassionate care for Dorothy over many years. The family would also like to thank the wonderful caregivers of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. No service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. Condolences may be expressed at SchoeningFuneralService.com kamloopsthisweek.com • kamloopsthisweek.com

Charles Frederick Boorse May 11, 1925 - April 7, 2022
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Charlie on Thursday, April 7, 2022, at the Hamlets in Kamloops with his son Harvey and granddaughter Renee by his side. Charlie was born on May 11, 1925 on the homestead of his parents, Daniel and Maude Boorse, at Lottie Lake, Alberta. He was predeceased by his wives Barbara (1977), Hazel (1991) and Audrey (2021); by his siblings Henry, Bill, Frank, Mabel, Mary, Kay, Hilda, twin sister Lillian; son Keith, son-in-law Marty; and granddaughter Alison. Charlie grew up on the family farm where he developed his love for gardening, his skill in many trades (he loved working with his hands building, fixing or tending to the land) and his love for horses. In 1948 he married Barbara Lane in Medicine Hat and had 3 boys: Gary (Joyce), Stan (Louise) and Harvey (Pam). They also lived in St. Paul before settling in Kamloops in 1964. He worked many years for BCBC at the Tranquille Sanatorium. In 1979 he married Hazel and his family grew with the addition of 6 bonus children: Lance (Marlene), Laurel (Marty), Keith (Robin), Kim (Manda), Wayne, and Wanda (Byron). The two loved playing cards and hosting family meals. He spent his later years with Audrey Smith. Charlie was blessed with many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who always made him smile. For many years he loved camping, summers at Lottie, road trips, and gardening. In his later years he loved taking his scooter out, driving the golf cart, being driven, reminiscing about his beloved horses, a good game of cribbage or crokinole and his weekly visits with Harvey and family. He was a proud, lifetime member of the Moose Lodge #1552. Over his 96 years, he never lost the quick wit, charm, and humour he was best known for. At Charlie’s request, there will be no formal service. You’re welcome to join a “cheers” to Charlie between 12-1:00pm on Saturday, April 23, 2022 at the Moose Lodge in Kamloops.
Rest in peace Chuck, hope you get your “quarters worth of ten dollar bills”. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

World Press Photo of the Year taken at Tk’emlups KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A photo taken next to the former Kamloops Indian Residential School has been chosen as the 2022 World Press Photo of the Year. And, for the first time in the contest’s 67-year history, the World Press Photo of the Year is a photograph without any people in it. Amber Bracken, a photographer from Edmonton, took
Have a heart to give for a heart to live Donate for Cardiac Care “CATH LAB" at RIH
the above photo of red and orange dresses hanging on a row of crosses along Highway 5, with a rainbow overhead. Bracken took the photo for the New York Times in the wake of the May 2021 announcement by Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc that a ground-penetrating radar survey near the former school had detected what may be 200 individual graves. Excavation of the site is expected to take place later this year. “Colonial history is not ancient history … this is a
living history that survivors are still grappling with,” Bracken said. “If we want to talk about reconciliation or healing, we need to really hold and honour the heart that still exists there.” Read more about Bracken’s winning photograph and other 2022 World Press Photo Contest winners online at worldpressphoto.org/collection/photocontest/2022 Find out more about World Press Photo by going online to worldpressphoto.org.

Directors Festival features TRU theatre students ONE-ACT PLAYS DURING THE 23RD FESTIVAL WILL BE STAGED FROM APRIL 13 TO APRIL 16 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Thompson Rivers University theatre students are presenting the 23rd Directors Festival until April 16, featuring seven different plays. The festival showcases students of all levels performing and directing one-act plays as part of the university’s Actors Workshop Theatre company, which has been at the school since 1985. The festival is split into two sets of shows, with Night A featuring three plays and Night B featuring four productions. Night A, which runs on April 13 and April 15, will begin with Starfishes by playwright Michael Ross Albert and directed by Morgan Toews. It tells the story of a lonely lighthouse keeper who makes a profound connection with a visitor.
Have You Met Our Rabbit follows as the second performance on Night A. Written by Mike Wedge and directed by Berlin Msiska, the play centres around the language barrier encountered by John, who has travelled to Europe to meet his pen pal. Timothy Mason’s Sorry will mark the third and final play of Night A. Directed by Emma Pettitt, the story centres around the shooting of a mistaken intruder in New York City. Night B will run on April 14 and April 16. It kicks off with Harley Adams’ Play #3, which tells the story of Pete and John, two neighbours who find themselves at odds. Directing Play #3 is George Nazaray. Kait Lampard will direct The Cleaners by playwright Lindsay Joy, which focuses on two workers with the grim task of cleaning up after death.
Le Wilhelm’s Whoppers, directed by Rem Murray, will follow with a story about a misunderstanding involving two enormous fish and a married couple. Closing out Night B is Daniel on a Thursday by playwright Garth Wingfield, with direction from Megan Mckinlay. Kevin shows up at a bar and regales with tales of the past — but it’s not known from where his knowledge comes. Doors open at 7 p.m., with showtimes at 7:30 p.m. each night. Tickets can be purchased at the AWT box office by calling 250-377-6100 or visiting the box office in the Old Main Building at TRU, which is open Mondays to Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tickets are also available online at tru.ca/arts/ departments/theatre/production.html.
KSO prepping for final performances of season KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra’s next concert is Luminous Voices, which is described by the KSO as an “ethereal, translucent and serene” experience. It features the works of Maurice Ravel, Lili Boulanger and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with a highlight performance of
Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem. Two soloists will join the symphony for the performance, which takes place on Saturday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Oasis Church in Aberdeen. The two guests are both master’s students in opera performance at UBC: soprano Magdalena How and baritone Philip Wing. The KSO Chorus will also join the sym-
phony on stage, with both groups led by music director emeritus Bruce Dunn. Luminous Voices was originally set to be performed in April 2020, but pandemic delays and restrictions delayed it. “It will be an exquisite experience that will start an intensive week of music-making from the Kamloops Symphony,” KSO executive director Daniel Mills said.
Following Luminous Voices will be the rescheduled performance of iskwé and the KSO on Thursday, April 21, and Beethoven and Tabla on Saturday, April 23, both at Sagebrush Theatre. Tickets are $40, or $15 for youth (under 19), and can be purchased at the Kamloops Live box office, online at kamloopslive.ca or by phone at 250-374-5483.

Hey Viola! the next Western Canada Theatre production KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
SCAN TO SIGN UP
An upcoming Western Canada Theatre production tells the story of Viola Desmond, a trailblazer for civil and women’s rights in Canada who is now featured on the $10 bill. Hey Viola! Viola Desmond-The Soundtrack of a Life is a musical exploration of Desmond’s life and how she challenged racial segregation. Desmond sat in the whites-only section of the Roseland Theatre in New Glasgow, N.S., in 1946 and refused to leave. She was forcefully removed from the theatre, arrested and convicted for tax evasion — over one single cent of tax.
Hey Viola! tells the story of her life, from the 1917 Halifax Explosion, when she was just three years old, to the civil rights struggles of the 1950s. “We feel so honoured to be able to help share Viola’s story, which is still far too relevant in today’s world,” said creators Krystle Dos Santos and Tracey Power, who called Desmond an “inspiration on so many levels.” Dos Santos, an acclaimed jazz, blues and soul musician, plays Desmond. The cabaret-style show features hits from the era from artists such as Nina Simone,a Sam Cooke, the Mills Brothers, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Richard

Jones and others. “We share Viola’s story not just because she was so remarkable in her life and her achievements, but also because she was so normal—a bright, ambitious, happy woman whose simple desire to be treated equally in a commonplace, ordinary moment changed her life irrevocably,” Western Canada Theatre artistic director James MacDonald said. Hey Viola! will be staged at Pavilion Theatre — east of downtown at Lorne Street and 10th Avenue — from April 21 to May 7. For ticket information, go online to wctlive.ca/ viola.
Scavenger hunt helps BC Children’s Hospital KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Looking for something fun to do with the family that also supports local businesses? A local realtor has organized an Easter Scavenger Hunt fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Realtor Skyleigh McCallum of Forever Kamloops Real Estate Group is the brainchild behind the fun, interactive event, which will see all proceeds go to support the hospital. Until April 18, participants can begin their scavenger hunt at Our Footprints Eco Store and Refillery — in the SmartCentre shopping mall, anchored by Walmart — by picking up a map and sticker book. Within each participating
local business, shoppers are challenged to find a hidden Easter egg, collect a sticker and add it to their score card. Shoppers are then eligible for unique in-store discounts. After the chart is filled with stickers (each being worth one entry into the draw), participants are then asked to take a photo of the completed chart and text it to 250-320-3108, along with a first and last name. Each sticker from participating businesses is worth an entry into a draw basket made up of locally donated items and goodies. A minimum $2 donation is required to enter the draw. Participating businesses include: • Our Footprints Eco Store and Refinery; • Real Deals on Home Décor;
• Duffy’s Neighbourhood Pub; • Jardines Domaine; • Brynn’s Bakery; • Crooked Crown Gift Boutique; • 5Bean Brewbar & Cafe; • Lavender Lingerie; • Brighten Up Bar; • Ice Cream Social; • Herbal One Kamloops; • The Vic Downtown; • BC Wildlife Park; • The Art We Are; • Meet Pepper; • Raine Artistry Co.; • Red Tomato Pies; • Bright Eye Brewing; • The Movement Collective; • Organic Tan Kamloops; • Lemon and Lavender Photography.

Award for Home Hardware KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Kamloops Home Hardware Building Centre dealer-owner Rick Kurzac and his team are the recipients of a 2021 Retail Orion Award from the Building Supply Industry Association (BSIA) of British Columbia. The award, which is handed out as part of the BSIA’s Mystery Smart Shop Program, recognized Kamloops Home Hardware Building Centre with a perfect score in the Building Supply Centre category. “As a family-owned and operated business, we are extremely proud to be
recognized by the Building Supply Industry Association of BC,” Kurzac said. “Our team strives to provide exceptional customer service each and every day and this award is a testament to their efforts. Going above and beyond to meet the needs of our customers and the community of Kamloops has always been our top priority and we worked hard to ensure we upheld that same level of service throughout the pandemic.” Prior to the declaration of the pandemic in March 2020, the Orion Award Committee sent a mystery
shopper to visit and rate the nominated stores based on their customer service experience. This year, the committee judged retailers during two online and phone-in customer service experiences. Stores were evaluated in multiple categories, including knowledge of product, understanding of the customer’s issue, willingness to help, efficiency, courteousness, offering of pertinent advice and professionalism. Kamloops Home Hardware Building Centre will receive its 2021 Retail Orion Award at the Orion Golf Tournament in May.

From Vienna to Paris — right here in Kamloops LESLIE HALL
SPECIAL TO KTW
LESLIE HALL PHOTO
Kamloops Brandenburg Orchestra’s From Vienna to Paris on Sunday marked the start of orchestra season in Kamloops. In the space of 28 days, three orchestras will present five events. Following the season starter, the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra has events on the 16th, 21st and 23rd of April, while the Thompson Valley Orchestra winds up the season on May 7. Need a break from massed instruments? The Chamber Musicians of Kamloops has a calming event on April 23 with a singer and just one instrument.
The Brandenburg Orchestra did a splendid job of bringing forward the riches of 18th-century European music. It is music with both strength and depth. It is music to steady our thinking in the face of yet another humanitarian crisis. Trumpets and horns call us to action. The guitar, harpsichord and gentle strokes on the cellos and double basses put truth at the centre. Many thanks to this family of musicians and their supporters for voluntarily enriching us. Thanks also to the guest artists: guitarist Jhonny Vasquez (in photo at left), a new, bright light on Kamloops’ vast music scene, and terrific trumpeters Rob Hogeveen and Daniel Mills.

any people flock to churches at Easter because they know they are perhaps going to hear some inspirational news. But Easter also offers terrifying news. According to Apostle Mark, early on the first Easter Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene and two other women made their way to a tomb to anoint the dead body of Jesus. Mark tells us these women had earlier watched the crucifixion of Jesus “from a distance.” When it was all over, they saw a disciple pull the body off the cross, wrap it in a linen cloth, lay it in a tomb and roll a stone over the door of the tomb. From a distance, the women began to watch what would happen. That is our favourite perspective on death. We do all we can to keep death away. We try to stay healthy, work out and watch what we eat. It’s all a way of keeping death at bay. Occasionally, though, it catches up to someone we love. Then we know we have to see death up close. Recent incidents in Stockholm, London, Berlin and Paris, of people being mowed down deliberately by vehicles used as weapons, prove the point. In the aftermath of terrorist attacks all over the world, social commentators keep repeating that “everything, including death, has changed.” It remains to be seen how much we have changed — beyond tolerating long lines at airports or border crossings. The women who made their way to the tomb on the first Easter morning had been with Jesus for some time. They had seen him constantly restoring the lives of others. Before Mary met him, her soul had been torn apart by seven demons. All the women knew they were something less before meeting Jesus. This man was their Saviour, but now he was dead. Maybe, as they walked down the road toward the tomb, one
of them mentioned that the world has always been hard on saviours. Or, like most people in deep grief, maybe they said nothing at all as they closed the distance between themselves and death. Their only dilemma was how they would get the heavy stone rolled back. Many of us also know well about pushing against the stones of life. We may have been pushing some of them for a long time. Perhaps, Easter is finding us pushing against a supervisor at work who is hard to please. Maybe some of us are pushing against a marriage that seems destined for the ditch. We might be battling disease, aging, loneliness or obstacles between us and our dreams. We might be thinking that if we could just get this burdensome thing rolled back, we will be fine. But as the story goes, even if we get rid of our huge stones, all that is waiting on the other side is death. When the women arrived at the tomb, they were startled to discover the stone was already rolled back. They walked inside, only to see the body of Jesus missing, and fled in fear. Not too long afterwards, though, they discovered their death-defying hope. It is such a profound opportunity this Easter (and every Easter) to join the three women in staring at our own tombs of loss and death without fear. The greatest catastrophe of history took place 2,000 years ago, when we crucified the Son of God. That was the ultimate experience beyond humanity’s limit. But it was then that history was given the possibility of being resurrected. When Jesus defeated death, he did so that we may experience something beyond our limits — to rise with him into a new life. But it is up to us to walk out of our own graves as new creatures in Christ. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
